About half an hour later, Zhao Hongrun was in the courtyard of the city guard mansion in Xiangcheng, and quietly listened to the three captain-level green crows of Duan Qi, Duan Jiu, and Duan Fifteen about the battle of Xiangcheng.

These three people, Xiang Li, Zhang Ming, and Ran Teng, who had received the Shang Water Army, led their own thousand-man teams to attack Longji Mountain at night, although they had never contacted the Chu army, but they also successfully set a fire on Longji Mountain, which made the Chu army on Longji Mountain anxious.

After that, these three people took the green crows in the team to assist Xiang Li, Zhang Ming, and Ran Teng in the sneak attack on Xiangcheng: when the Chu army in Xiangcheng was attracted by the Yan Mo Department of the Yanling army, they quietly climbed the east wall of Xiangcheng, assassinated the guards on the city wall, and then opened the city gate to let Xiang Li, Zhang Ming, and Ran Teng three thousand-person teams enter.

It can be said that the captains of these three green crows witnessed the fall of Xiangcheng.

Therefore, Zhao Hongrun noticed that Wu Ji and the three thousand-strong generals in his army, Xiang Li, Zhang Ming, and Ran Teng, were not looking good when he entered the city, so he summoned these three people to inquire about the matter, and only then did he understand the cause and effect of the matter.

It turned out that it was Yan Mo who skillfully took away the merits of Kecheng that should have belonged to the Shang Shui Army: according to the original plan, the three thousand-man teams responsible for the main attack should be Xiang Li, Zhang Ming, and Ran Teng, and Yan Mo's department only played a role in feints and attracting the attention of the defenders in Xiangcheng City. However, Yan Mo was not satisfied, so he skillfully used the established fact that Xiang Li, Zhang Ming, and Ran Teng three thousand-strong teams attacked Xiangcheng from the East City Gate, and successfully persuaded the defender Nanmen Chi, who felt that he could no longer hold Xiangcheng, causing Nanmen Chi to surrender the city and surrender to the Yanling army with 20,000 troops.

And in this way, Yan Mo and the Yan Ling Army to which he belonged naturally took the first credit.

This Yan Mo!

Zhao Hongrun was a little crying and laughing.

In all fairness, even if he was a little biased in favor of Shang Shuijun in his heart, it was not easy to blame Yan Mo for this matter, because Yan Mo did a better job.

You must know that Zhao Hongrun has made psychological preparations that attacking Xiangcheng will make the Shang Shui Army and the Yanling Army pay a certain price, but Yan Mo actually persuaded the Xiangcheng garrison to Nanmen Chi, and in a real sense, let the Yanling army take Xiangcheng without blood.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Yan Mo has done a better job than Zhao Hongrun expected, what is there to blame for this?

It's just that Yan Mo's approach will obviously offend the merchant army.

Although I called you competitors, I didn't want to make you fight in the future......

Reaching out and rubbing his eyebrow bone, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but feel a little headache.

After thinking about it, he said, "Okay, this king knows, the three of you can retreat and rest for the time being." ”

"Yes!" Duan 7, Duan 9, and Duan 15 The three captains of the Green Crows left immediately.

"It's a ...... thing"

Zhao Hongrun glanced at each other with the sect guard chief Wei Jiao beside him, and found that the latter also showed a little wry smile on his face, obviously he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

"Let's go in first."

Shaking his head, Zhao Hongrun walked to a dead hall.

Don't think that the hall is dead silent and think that there is no one in the hall, in fact, it is full of people.

On the one hand, there were Wu Ji, Zhang Ming, Xiang Li, Ran Teng and other generals of the Shang and Shui Army, on the other hand, the generals of the Yanling Army headed by Yan Mo, plus the three main generals of Xiangcheng, such as Nanmen Chi, Nanmen Jue, and Nanmen Huai.

However, although the hall was full of people, it was unusually quiet, and it was almost audible to hear a needle dropping.

The solemn atmosphere made Zhao Hongrun secretly smile and shake his head.

It wasn't until Zhao Hongrun stepped into the hall that these generals stood up neatly and brushed His Royal Highness King Su together, breaking the dead silence and oppressive atmosphere in the hall.

Walking to the main seat, Zhao Hongrun saw that Wu Ji's face was still sinking like water, and seeing that Xiang Li, Zhang Ming, and Ran Teng were still glaring at Yan Mo in front of him with indignation, he couldn't help but say: "Okay, okay, the Yan Ling Army and the Shang Shui Army should be brother armies in theory, how can they be like enemies?" …… This battle has just begun, and when it comes to establishing meritorious deeds, don't let the three South Gate generals laugh! ”

In the words of Nanmen Chi, Nanmen Jue, and Nanmen Huai, Wu Ji and other generals of the Shang Shui Army put away their hostile gazes, but there was still a deep dissatisfaction on their faces.

This made Zhao Hongrun secretly sigh in his heart, things in this world are really unpredictable.

I think that when he founded the Yanling Army and the Shang Water Army, because he considered that these two armies were composed of Chu people, he did not want them to unite to become bigger, so he acquiesced to the hostility of Gu Liangwei and Wu Majiao towards Qu Cheng, and also acquiesced to the gap between the Shang Water Army and the Yan Ling Army.

Unexpectedly, time has passed, but now he has to try his best to make up for the gradually growing contradiction between the Yan Ling Army and the Shang Shui Army, which makes Zhao Hongrun feel speechless.

"All in all, the first credit for winning Xiangcheng this time is attributed to Yan Mo and Yan Lingjun!" Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Yan Mo, and praised him without hesitation: "Yan Mo, you did a good job, you did more beautiful than this king estimated!" ”

Hearing this, Yan Mo was flattered, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Su!" …… Yan's ability to achieve such feats depends on your highness's strategy. According to Yan, the first credit should be attributed to His Royal Highness. ”

You should be thankful for the merchant water army......

Zhao Hongrun muttered to himself, but there was no expression on his face, and said with a smile: "This king has always had clear rewards and punishments, so don't be too humble." By the way, this war exploit will be counted after the war and reported to the imperial court, I hope you will make persistent efforts and make meritorious deeds. …… This king pondered, after this battle, you should be able to get the qualification of Guixun. ”

Guixun, that is, a nobleman, heard this, even if it was Yan Mo, he couldn't help but feel a little short of breath.

After all, he was from a commoner background, and it was almost impossible to achieve the status of a nobleman in the Chu State, but on the side of the Wei State, His Royal Highness King Su in front of him reminded him that he could enjoy the status of a nobleman by virtue of his military merits, how could this not make him excited?

After all, Wei is also a country with a very strict hierarchy, and the treatment of nobles and commoners is also completely different.

After listening to Zhao Hongrun's words, the faces of the generals in the hall were different: the generals of the Yan Ling Army were of course happy for their deputy generals, and they also looked like Yu Rong; And the generals of the Shangshui Army were even more displeased.

On the contrary, it was Nanmen Chi, Nanmen Jue, and Nanmen Huai, the three new Chu generals who surrendered to Cheng, and their eyes widened incredulously.

And in this regard, Zhao Hongrun smiled secretly in his heart.

Because of his words, he mainly said to the three new Chu generals of Nanmen Chi, Nanmen Jue, and Nanmen Huai, implying that as long as you can make meritorious contributions, you can also get corresponding rewards.

After clarifying this matter, Zhao Hongrun quickly shifted the topic to the current battle situation, after all, Wu Ji and other generals of the Shang Shui Army were present, and too much praise was given to Yan Mo or Yan Lingjun, as if he was stirring up the relationship between the two armies, Zhao Hongrun, who had changed his mind at this moment and was committed to making up for the gradually bad relationship between the two armies, naturally would not make such a mistake.

"At present, although our army has conquered Xiangcheng with the assistance of the three South Gate generals, the situation is still not excellent. …… In the northwest of Xiangcheng, there are still nearly 10,000 Chu troops led by Dou Lian to defend Mengshan, and moreover, on the way back of our army, there is also a Chu army from Longji Mountain that cut off the return route of our army......"

As soon as he said this, Zhao Hongrun saw Nanmen hesitantly raise his hand, as if he had something to say, so he asked with a pleasant face: "Does General Nanmen have any suggestions?" ”

Because he interrupted the words of His Royal Highness King Su in front of him, Nanmen couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but seeing Zhao Hongrun so kind, the uneasiness in his heart gradually retreated.

I saw him stand up, clench his fists and say, "Your Royal Highness King Su, I don't know that the army from Longji Mountain is ...... Hmm, Chu Jun, who led the troops? ”

This matter had already been told to Zhao Hongrun by the green crows, so he said without thinking: "It's a man named Nanmen Yang...... Not? ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Hongrun was slightly stunned, and asked in surprise: "Could it be that this person is ......?"

"It turned out to be Brother Yang." Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai said with relief when they heard this.

At this time, Nanmen Chi also said: "His Royal Highness King Su, Nanmen Yang is the brother of the last general, if Your Highness you can trust the last general, the last general will personally take a trip, and this road of soldiers and horses will disappear suddenly." ”

That's a lot of good thing......

Zhao Hongrun was happy when he heard this, and nodded and said, "Okay!" The matter will be left to General Nanmen. ”

"The last general obeys!" South Gate Chi clenched his fists in response.

However, he did not sit down, but had an expression on his face that wanted to stop talking.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun said with a smile: "General Nanmen seems to have something to say?" It doesn't have to be restrictive, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”

I saw that after hesitating for a moment, Nanmen clenched his fists and said in a low voice: "If the army passes through the Huhe River, in the downstream of the Xuan, on the southeast side of Fulisai, there is a city called Qi, and most of the people of my Nanmen clan live here......"

Zhao Hongrun understood what Nanmen Chi meant, and said with a chuckle: "Does General Nanmen want our army to move south immediately?" ”

Nanmen Chi lowered his head and said bitterly: "If you know that my brothers have defected to His Royal Highness King Su, I am afraid that my Nanmen clan in Qi County will be slaughtered and poked......"

Zhao Hongrun closed his eyes and pondered for a moment when he heard this.

I have to say that at this moment, waving the army south to attack Qi County is extremely dangerous.

First of all, the more than 20,000 Chu soldiers outside the city and the 20,000 Chu troops inside the city of Xiangcheng have not yet been completed, and the loyalty of these soldiers is also a problem.

Secondly, Qi County is in the southeast of Fulisai, a bad one, hundreds of thousands of troops from Fulisai besieged it, that is not a joke.

Suddenly, Zhao Hongrun's heart moved slightly, and he deliberately said: "Qi County, if this king is not mistaken, it should be the Eastern Route Army of the coalition army in charge...... This king does not have a deep friendship with General Tian Tan of Qi State, and robbed him of his merits, I am afraid that he will make a bad deal with this person. ”

"Tian Tan?!"

Hearing this, the faces of Nanmen Chi, Nanmen Jue, and Nanmen Huai suddenly changed, and their faces suddenly turned pale.

Especially Nanmen Chi, who was even more in a cold sweat, asked urgently: "His Royal Highness King Su, is this matter serious?" …… Tian Tan Daqi County? ”

"That's right." Zhao Hongrun pretended to be unclear and said.

Nanmen Chi, Nanmen Jue, and Nanmen Huai glanced at each other, and their heads were dripping with cold sweat.

I saw the three of them leave their seats in a hurry, came to the center of the hall and knelt on the ground, and said urgently: "Your Highness, the three of us are willing to help Your Highness seize Qi County, and hope that Your Highness will save the lives of my Nanmen clan!" ”

This reaction ......

Zhao Hongrun looked at the three people who suddenly changed color with some consternation, and felt that the reaction of these three people was even stronger than he expected.

What's going on? Could it be that Tian Tan is also a general like Sima An?

Zhao Hongrun was a little puzzled

However, as it turned out, he was right.

Although Tian Tan of Qi was not as hateful of foreigners as Sima An of Wei State, his slaughter of the nobles of Chu State was far above Sima An.

The difference is that Sima An is accustomed to slaughter, while Tian Tan likes to torture and kill. (To be continued.) )
