Chapter Forty-Eight: Xiangyang Dark Tide

The flame of the oil lamp kept beating, illuminating the faces of Yang Shan and Zhang Xuan flickering.

"Some time ago, Cao Ying's attack on Yunyang was defeated." As soon as Yang Shan opened his mouth, Zhang Xuan was taken aback, "I was defeated extremely badly, and I was beaten extremely badly by Hua Guansuo." There are quite a few old brothers who fold in. ”

"How so?" Zhang Xuan couldn't believe it a little, and said: "Yunyang is certainly difficult, but it won't let Cao Ying lose his troops." ”

Zhang Xuan has seen Cao Ying's strength, and he doesn't dare to say that he is unparalleled in the world, but he is also a first-class elite, and he was actually defeated under Yunyang City, what is going on?

"Hua Guansuo is also an old brother of our righteous army, named Wang Guangen, and he followed the official army with all his heart. Most of his subordinates are foot soldiers, and in the mountains of Yunyang, he is familiar with the path. Yang Shan pondered for a while, and finally said vaguely: "I have a good relationship with the big boss." Therefore, he was caught off guard, and if it weren't for the queen of the horse team, I am afraid the loss would have been even greater. ”

Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "I'm afraid it was Luo Rucai who was deceived by Wang Guangen." "However, on the battlefield, it is ordinary, and the number of victories and defeats is also normal. Zhang Xuan didn't pursue this matter much, and said: "Even if you lose one game, it won't be a big deal, where is Cao Ying's capital, and it doesn't hurt to lose two or three battles." ”

"The defeat of Yunyang." Yang Shan said: "It's a small thing, but the change in attitude of breaking into the camp is a big thing. ”

"Before, Chuangying was always polite to my Cao Ying, but after returning from Yunyang, Chuangying's feelings about my Cao Ying have changed, and Liu Zongmin is the most arrogant." When Yang Shan mentioned Liu Zongmin, his tone was quite unkind.

"What happened to Liu Zongmin?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"Liu Zongmin almost fought with the young marshal." Yang Shan said.

Zhang Xuan frowned and asked, "For what?" ”

"For the horses." Yang Shan said.

"Horses." Zhang Xuan said.

"Yes, it's a horse." Yang Shan said: "You also know that horses must be free-range. But there are not many places outside Xiangyang City where horses can be placed, and the horses under Liu Zongmin are mixed with the horses of the young marshal. Originally, it was separated, but Liu Zongmin said that the horse was all his. Of course, the young marshal was not convinced, and drew his knife on the spot. The tension on both sides is best to mediate between the king and the marshal. ”

The horses work best if they are fed all the time, but it is too wasteful to let them go out to graze on their own and return to camp in the evening. In this way, the horse can save a lot of grain, in order to save a little, it is inevitable to release the horse.

"You haven't experienced the situation at the time, and you're almost going to be killed on the spot." Yang Shan said.

"Is that all there is to it?" Zhang Xuan said.

Yang Shan said: "Of course not. You also know, people in the army, who doesn't have a little fire,

Then there was no big mess between the camp and us. The people below often dry the rack. This has happened before, talking to each other's leaders and suppressing their own subordinates, and it has passed, but this time, we suppressed the people below, but there was no camp on the other side. ”

"In this way, King Chuang's mind will be a little difficult to think about." Yang Shan said.

"What a thought?" Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "It's almost clear about your attitude." It's just that something is wrong. ”

Zhang Xuan carefully scrutinized and said secretly: "If I were Li Zicheng, before I started, I would never make the city full of storms." The reason why this situation occurred was that Li Zicheng might still be hesitating, but the people below Li Zicheng couldn't wait. ”

Zhang Xuan immediately shook his head secretly and said secretly: "If Li Zicheng can't even control his subordinates, he won't be the king." ”

"Either Li Zicheng has already ventilated with some people, but some people can't hold their breath, such as Liu Zongmin." Zhang Xuan said secretly.

This point is somewhat in line with the facts.

After all, most of Li Zicheng's subordinates are good at fighting, but they are not the kind of political veterans who hide knives in their smiles, and Li Zicheng can't do it in a hurry without being prepared in advance.

In that case, it may be who is the fire and whom.

Zhang Xuan was suddenly startled when he thought of this, and said secretly: "If you calculate in this direction, the change in Xiangyang will enter the countdown." ”

"Wait." Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "There is another possibility, that is, there is a third party involved in Cao Chuang. Zhang Xuan immediately remembered Ma Shiying's plan to deal with Liu Chao and Yuan Shizhong, and said secretly in his heart: "Sure enough, it's a routine that is not afraid of old age, as long as it is useful." ”

"What did Mr. Ji say?" Zhang Xuan asked.

Yang Shan said with a bit of sneer: "Mr. Ji is just a bookkeeper. However, Mr. Chen, a newcomer, suggested that he should strike first. ”

"Mr. Chen?" Zhang Xuan's heart moved, and he said, "Who is Mr. Chen?" ”

"Mr. Chen is from Huangzhou, as for the name, I didn't pay attention, everyone called him Mr. Chen. He is the new master in charge of the plate. Yang Shan said.

"What did other people say about Mr. Chen?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"Everyone has doubts, after all, it is a camp break and nothing else, and they are worried that it will not end well. There are a lot of people who want to break up with the camp, and everyone doesn't want to be angry with the camp. But I am afraid that the palm plate will not agree, so I will persuade the palm plate and call you over to discuss, after all, your own family is always more credible than outsiders. Yang Shan said.

"What did you tell me to go back for?" Zhang Xuan said: "What I say, my father-in-law may not listen to it. ”

"Why do you say this in front of me, you gave the palm of the plate to admonish Jiangnan as the fundamental thing, and almost all the upper echelons of the camp have spread it all over the camp. When the time comes, the big guys unanimously go to the palm plate and say that they will agree if they want to come to the palm plate

Target. Yang Shan said.

"Chen Qiao mutinied, and the yellow robe was added." Zhang Xuan suddenly came up with two words.

Zhang Xuan wants to find out, is it very possible?

For King Chuang to be the emperor, or Luo Rucai to be the emperor, the difference between Cao Ying is too big. When the Cao camp was not so strong before, everyone was threatened by the official army, and this could not be shown, but now the righteous army occupies most of Hubei and Henan, and the troops are divided into four places, and there are almost no enemies. Moreover, there are signs of turning against Cao Ying, and those generals in Cao Ying can't think of anything else.

The best choice for Luo Rucai, but not for them.

And it was obvious that Yang Shan participated.

Who is Yang Shan, he is Luo Rucai's personal guard. Even Yang Shan participated, which shows the thoughts of the upper-level generals of Cao Ying.

The emperor still can't do anything happy, let alone Luo Rucai.

If Zhang Xuan joined the tandem and put this fact in front of Luo Rucai, even Luo Rucai could only agree.

In an instant, Zhang Xuan's heart moved.

"Who is this?" Zhang Xuan asked with a little caution.

Yang Shan said: "You should ask, no one? Only Mr. Ji was not inside or outside, and the others either knew about it or acquiesced, including the young marshal. Have you decided to go back? ”

Go? Zhang Xuan pondered.

When I went to Xiangyang, I didn't dare to say that Longtan Tiger's Den, I am afraid that it would be nine deaths. But the temptation is also big enough, as long as Cao Ying and Chuang Ying split and attack Jiangnan independently, it should not be too difficult to defeat Ma Shiying with Cao Ying's strength.

"Get everything back on track." Zhang Xuan's heart had a voice shouting: "As long as Luo Ru can settle in the south of the Yangtze River, don't do a big death, and dare not say that he will dominate the world, but the situation of partial peace can be established." As long as this is the case, as a new dynasty horse, I don't think about glory and wealth, but it is absolutely possible to die in the end. ”

"Go, take a risk. No, if Cao Ying is destroyed, I will lay down the world myself, and I don't know how many difficulties there are. How many nine deaths are a lifetime. ”

"I'll go." Zhang Xuan said.

"Okay, without further ado." Yang Shan said: "I'll go to rest now, and tomorrow morning, we'll set off." ”

"Okay." Zhang Xuan said.

After making this decision, another knot in Zhang Xuan's heart was also untied. He secretly said in his heart: "In this way, I am also worthy of Yujiao, Luo Rucai, Luo Rucai, thank you for having a good daughter, the master will go to save your life, whether it can save you or not." Master, I have a clear conscience with you. ”

It's just that Zhang Xuan can't rest immediately at this moment, after all, if he doesn't arrange Runing's affairs properly, he can't leave even if he wants to.
