"Why do you want to do this......

Neizai Zhu Yannian was a little pale, glaring at the big secretary Cheng Luo Yu who was stopped, he actually openly tested the other party in disguise with the issue of awarding the elders of the family at the joint meeting that met briefly.

"Unwarranted anger and offense...... Don't you think your family is not enough?"

"Because, what this Huai Shuai is asking for so far is too little......"

Dasi Cheng Luo Yu smiled bitterly

"It's a little unsettling......"

"I'm afraid that he is so low-key and introverted, what he asks for is more and bigger......"

"Even so big that you and I can't afford to bear and promise......"

"What if what he asks for? and we need them to tide over the difficulties......"

At this time, another important minister left behind, Zhang Yixin, the leader of the management, also interjected.

"Do you think that there are only cheap and good things in this world......

"At least for now, he's the least bad choice......"

"Could it be that Luo Zhanrong's generation, after reoccupying his family, will he still give you and me a life and a future......

Neizai Zhu Yannian is also the interface road

"So, please go back and restrain your clan and don't do more useless things......"

"Don't give more wrong attitudes and hints ......"

"But my negligence and selfishness should not be ......"

Faced with the questioning of the two important ministers, the chief secretary Cheng Luo Yu could only bow his head and give in.

"I will order and restrain the ...... in the clan"

"Do your best to maintain a harmonious ......"

The three of them almost mastered, except for the original East Gate defenders who were controlled by Huaizhen, the last remnants of the armed forces in the city;

For example, Zhu Yannian, the inner ruler, controlled the remaining more than 1,000 feudal guards in the inner city, and Zhang Yixin, the leader of the city, took over some of the Andong guards who remained in the city, and the subordinates of the great priest Cheng Luo Yu had three patrol soldiers who retreated to the city, about 3,000 people.

Therefore, under the circumstance that Huai Shuai is only responsible for defense, many things can be decided between these three troikas. Among them, there are not only potential struggles for power and profit, as well as mutual fear and checks and balances, but also places that have to be maintained in solidarity and harmony.

turned around and sat in his office and listened to the report of his subordinates, but he secretly sighed slightly. I thought about the conditions that the other party had put forward again.

After all, now the position of the lord of the domain in the city is vacant, and almost all the people in power are people with foreign surnames, and he is left with only one of the Luo clan's subordinates to protect the rights and interests of the Luo clan.

Because, several other elders of the Luo family who are qualified to make decisions are either dead and fleeing, or missing and missing, and most of the members surnamed Luo who are under the three pipes and six canons and the big judgment are also served at the funeral;

Only the youngest of his qualifications is left to support the situation independently, and he is really a little unjustifiable, and his strength is weak.

Moreover, as a knot in his heart, the incident in which the children and brothers of the former feudal lord were killed at the same time, although it was clearly recognized that Luo Zhanrong's henchmen left in the city to cut off the lineage, but there were also doubts.

He even had some suspicions and speculations that this was the result of deliberate neglect and indulgence among the retainers, so he couldn't fully trust those important ministers and ministers with foreign surnames, including his own deputy, Guozao.

You must know that compared with the internal ruler and management who has assisted more than two generations, it is the former feudal lord Luo Zhanji who has always appointed and promoted him, and in the hands of the acting feudal lord Luo Yunxiao, he was promoted from the inspector of the upper doctor to the national director of Zhongqing Zuo, and he was quickly able to fill the vacancy of the great secretary in a short period of time.

Therefore, in terms of natural stance and foundation, there is a clear difference between them and the senior vassals left behind by these old feudal lords.

"Cheng Shang ......"

At this time, one of his subordinates rushed over in a bit of a hurry and nervousness.

"The Huai army sent someone to break into the back house......"

"And in the name of a big traitor, the inside and outside access ......"

Then he got a message to take the guards to his family's back house; I saw it again in the inner city, and the management leader Zhang Yixin and Neizai Zhu Yannian, who also came with escorts. Then the news shocked them a little, and they forgot the reason for coming to question and negotiate.

"What ......"

"The traitor Luo Su came back first......"

"Hidden in this inner city house? ……”

I looked at their splendid and complex expressions one by one, and pondered the authenticity of their respective mentalities and intentions; This is really more complicated news than Luo Zhanrong's comeback, but I don't know how many of these people and their subordinates are related to it, or secretly connected to it.

You know,

The dying woman who was found yesterday suddenly woke up at noon today, and the first thing she said was a big surprise, it was actually Luo Suxian's party who launched a rebellion, and took advantage of the chaos to sneak back to Liaocheng.

Whether this result is true or not, it made me vigilant and no longer insist, and obtained some kind of superficial permission and instruction, and directly ordered a raid blockade and an all-out search of the Luo family's back house in the inner city.

It's a pity that it was still a step late, and only found a few traces of activity and unknown objects that were burned and destroyed, and the rest of the remaining remnants, together with Luo Suxian himself, disappeared like mud cows into the sea.

Now the threat of Luo Zhanrong from the outside has just receded, and now there is an internal trouble from Luo Su's party inside; The situation in Liaocheng seems to be becoming more and more treacherous, abnormal and complicated.

However, now is a legitimate excuse to give the secret I have prepared an opportunity to get in.

In addition, it is said that the people in the back house are gathered together to strictly protect the management so that the children and brothers of the former feudal lord will not be killed again.

Although I personally think it's unlikely to happen, it's still fair and honest to let the guards around them send out, and personally lead the formation of a multi-party joint guard force to indirectly achieve the purpose of mutual supervision. ……

meanwhile

On the side of the Prince River, Luo Zhanrong, who was easy to regroup, only felt bitter and bitter in his heart, looking at the messy scene in front of him.

Dusty, dusty, discarded, depressed and languishing, slumped on the damp riverbank floor, is one of the best portrayals of most of them.

The previous tentative attack under the city was frustrated, and it can be said that the self-defense in front of him was not well prepared; But the huge horses that he had painstakingly accumulated were crushed and scattered by a night attack and the subsequent startled roar, which was undoubtedly a blow to the head in the face on his ambition and ambition.

If it weren't for the fact that he rode a horse in time and led people to seize and control the ferry, and blocked the latest escape route, destroyed all the tools for crossing the river, and made a posture of breaking the boat, I am afraid that these manpower may not be able to survive now.

In fact, at that time, he was also frightened by the seemingly ubiquitous firearm attack of the other party, and he was extremely frightened and pessimistic and disappointed; If the other party continued to pursue the whole division, he even suspected that he would be overwhelmed by the panicked crowd of people overnight, or that he would be sacrificed by these subordinates to survive.

But after all, he passed the most difficult moment, and ushered in the dawn of regrouping,

When the men and equipment were counted again, it was found that in addition to the rout and disappearance along the way, more people fled in the chaos; Many of them left in droves under the leadership of the leader, obviously not very optimistic about his future here.

Therefore, in the blink of an eye, his command has shrunk by more than half.

What's worse is that when the camp escaped, most of the baggage and most of the equipment prepared were also lost. After losing these things, in a short period of time, what else will he do to deal with the fortified walls of Liaocheng.

This fact also made him completely sober, since force alone cannot achieve the goal, maybe it is time to change the way of thinking and means. So after adopting the persuasion and suggestions from the left and right, he immediately ordered the team under his command to be divided into more than a dozen detachments.

Led by his appointed cronies and henchmen, he went to the towns and towns of nearby prefectures and counties to collect money and grain, collect all kinds of materials and coerce young and strong people for military use, and those who dared to resist were punished on the spot in the name of betraying the party.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no time to take care of the outside in Liaocheng, he used these cities and towns to reward these followers in disguise, and at the same time, he also used these requisition process and the first two materials obtained to recover the men and horses and morale under his command as soon as possible in a short period of time.

Then, he decided to put down his body and face, and asked the already notorious Boluo Society for more support and help, in this land of Anton, on the shore of Haidong, only they can provide the corresponding financial and material resources.

Compared with the problems and predicaments encountered at present, as long as we can finally achieve victory and that great position, no matter how much rights and interests are ceded and more benefits promised, it is only an expedient measure.

I believe that Luo Yunxiao, who was killed by him with his own hands, and even those people trapped in Liaocheng, are also desperately flattering Huaizhen, desperately selling the interests and privileges of their own family, in exchange for the help and investment that will spare no effort in the future.

But as long as there is soil and people, there will always be a chance for him to slowly get back what he lost.

Thinking of this, he also realized that the contact and negotiation in Liaocheng could not be broken, whether it was the upper echelons of his family left behind, or the middle and lower class clansmen,

With the size of Liaocheng, outsiders in Huai Town may be able to defend the city, but they may not block all the internal and external news traffic. After all, there are also people in the city, and they are also under the control of the army, secretly counting on him to seek a way back.

As long as he can continue to maintain this kind of authority on the bright side, he may not lack internal response and news channels.

In addition, Huaizhen also needs to continue to communicate, since the other party has shown enough strength and strength, it is better to buy the other party at a greater price and more conditions.

For example, the land of the five states on the peninsula, including the Governor of Jian'an Prefecture; the sub-domains and vassals of the southeast road, the suzerainty of the vassal princes, and all the tributaries; the disposition of the East Province of the Coast (Silla Domain); And so on,

He didn't have anything to grasp at the moment, though he could generously promise to get out. Whether these things are successful or not, it is an important proof and an existing fact.

For example, it indirectly reflects Huaizhen, the wolf ambition for the land of Anton and the greed for Longwangshu.

Then, he has plenty of leeway and room to operate. For example, try to agitate and provoke disagreements and contradictions between them. After all, Huaizhen is even more unjustifiable and disobedient to outsiders, and it is not necessarily intimate with the relatives and tribes of his family.

Without the endorsement and support of the lord of the family, it is difficult to convince the public for a long time.

Once there is no imminent danger of survival and safety, there are not a few ambitious people who are afraid of not being willing to be lonely and jump out to seek something.

He himself must be uplifted and patiently await opportunities and transformations. After all, in the most difficult period when everyone rebelled and left their relatives and had to survive alone, they all persevered in this way, and achieved a turnaround and an upper hand;

Could the situation be worse than this, at least he still has a considerable number of armed forces under his command who continue to obey orders? Whether it is to continue to forge ahead and plot against one's own family, or to retreat north to regain one's own strength, there is still room for choice between advance and retreat.
