And as for the view of this place, at such a juncture, apparently no one cares.

Now, Zhang Shihui, who is once again the coach, just wants to do a good job in the matter that his brother has handed over, so that he can have a meritorious service that his brother can get after he is officially called the queen.

After all, Xiangjing and Huguang will be the territory of their Zhang clan in the future, and as the male son of the Zhang clan, how can they be underestimated at this juncture.

With such an idea in mind, after coming to Taoyuan Prefecture, Zhang Shihui also discussed the next action plan with Lu Sicheng.

"Lu Gong, look. Crossing the green pothos mountain, in the south of Changde Mansion, there is exactly a station. This station is only more than 100 miles away from Yuanling City on Chenzhou Road. And in these more than 100 miles, except for a place called Yitou Mountain and Qinglang Station, which has formed a small water level due to the topography, there are no other obstacles along the way.

Therefore, as long as the army is stationed here, the vanguard army is lightly armed, and one day's effort is enough to kill under the city of Yuanling. In this way, even if the negotiation fails, our army is sure that while protecting Lu Gong is thorough, with the momentum of thunder, the Miao Man here will be annihilated in one fell swoop! Lu Gong, what do you think? ”

"This, hehe. It is naturally excellent for the general to be thoughtful and to garrison a large army here. However, ......" At this point, Lu Sicheng's words suddenly changed, "The general should also know that what we are doing when we come this time is not to annihilate the enemy, but to make peace."

It is Lu Mou's hope, unless it is a last resort. Otherwise, the general will not move, and use this as a threat, which is the best policy. ”

"Uh......" Hearing Lu Sicheng say this, he thought of the words of his brother before he left Jiangling. With a roll of his eyes, he couldn't help but put down his careful thoughts, "Haha, what Lu Gong said is extremely true." Lu Gong rest assured, unless it is a last resort, the general will not start the war lightly. ”

"Heh, with the general's words, Lu will be relieved. And this time, please rest assured that even if the old man fights his old bones, he will definitely complete this matter for the king and my Chu country. Saying this, Lu Sicheng smiled at Zhang Shihui, "Okay, it's not too early, the general should rest." so-and-so, he also retired. ”

"Lu Gong walks slowly." Zhang Shihui was also busy returning the salute at this time, and couldn't help but command left and right: "Someone." Quick, send Lu Gong for me. ”

At the door of "......", looking at the back of Lu Sicheng leading people away, Zhang Shihui touched the stubble on his chin and was silent for a long time. Then, he walked back to the house, leaned over again to look at the map placed on the table, "Yuanling, Miao Jun" He groaned, his eyes changed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

……

"Young master, it's not good. The black-clothed army, the Buchu army. According to the report of the spies, the Chu army came from Taoyuan Prefecture to kill us. Outside Yuanling City, in the Chinese army tent in the Miao army camp, an armored general ran into the Chinese army tent in a panic, and said so.

"Bastard!" In this regard, as the back of the table, he is in his twenties, and at this time, he is completely dressed as a young master of the Han family, and he can't help but look very angry, "Panicked, what kind of system!" ”

The eldest son of Yang Jian, the current toast, and Yang Keng, who is destined to be the next toast in Banzhou, scolded like this. Then at this time, he, who was already subconsciously frowning, looked up at the panicked general, and couldn't help but order: "Go, call me the spies who went to inquire about the news, and I will ask in person." ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey!" The young general hurriedly agreed, and then hurriedly retreated.

And Yang Keng, who was sitting behind the table, looked at the back of the general leaving, and at this time, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes.

To be honest, at this time, Yang Keng, who took the initiative to ask Ying to leave Banzhou as the commander of the reinforcements, couldn't help but regret it at this time.

Originally, in his mind, no matter how powerful the black-clothed army was, it would definitely be impossible to conquer the governance of Huguang Province within a few months.

After all, in its heyday, the Tianwan army still failed to conquer this fortified city that was across the river from Hanyang City.

In Yang Keng's plan, he led the reinforcements, and when the black-clothed army could not be attacked for a long time, he would launch a flanking attack on the black-clothed army from the rear.

At that time, he launched an attack on a long-tired soldier like the Black Army with his heyday. Even if he only has 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command, he may not be able to achieve a big victory such as total annihilation, but he will definitely be able to achieve a small victory and will not suffer a loss. At that time, the black-clothed army was attacked from both sides by him and the officers and soldiers of Huguang, and in the end they could only withdraw their troops in embarrassment.

And if this is the case, then he almost appeared as a savior, not only can the world be impressed, but the Yuanmeng court must also praise him.

At that time, with prestige, fame, and a large army, he not only had no problem inheriting the position of Tusi. can even seek greater benefits for himself and the Yang family in this troubled world.

You know, he's still young. Now he is only twenty-six or seventeen years old. Born in such a big era where the heroes rise together, as the future master of Banzhou, he Yang Keng naturally has his own ambitions. Naturally, I don't want to be like my own father, living in Banzhou all my life and governing a group of Miao barbarians.

Yes, although it is said that their Yang clan has been the master of Banzhou since the Tang Dynasty. But the Yang family is not a Miao person, but a serious Han people.

Although it is said that in order to govern Banzhou in the past few hundred years, they inevitably intermarried with the local Miao people.

But just look at Yang Keng's dress now, in his bones, he still regards himself as a Han, not a Miao.

After all, in this day and age, the superiority and cultural attractiveness of the Han system cannot be compared with that of any other nation.

This point can be seen by looking at the Yuanmeng Empire. After the bloodthirsty and warlike Yuan and Mongol people occupied this land, they were quickly assimilated into this land. Even in order to speed up this process, the detachment of the right prime minister of the Yuan Yuan Meng Empire did not hesitate to kill his uncle himself.

Therefore, as the son of Tusi, Yang Keng, who has a privileged family condition and is proficient in Confucian classics at a young age, naturally has a strong yearning for the outside world.

But now, after coming to the outside world and being hit by a series of things he never planned, the young Yang Keng couldn't help but understand why his parents were willing to live in Banzhou for the rest of their lives.

After governing Banzhou for hundreds of years, their Yang family has long been labeled by the outside world.

This point has been deeply realized since he came to Chenzhou Road. Lu Tiange, the head of Chenzhou Road, didn't let Miao Jun enter the city, and looking at his Yang Keng's gaze, it was no different from those barbarians who were eight Shunyuan barbarian officials.

On the surface, although he looked respectful because Yang Keng held the army, the disdain and contempt in the depths of his eyes could not be concealed. Obviously, although the Yang family has always regarded themselves as Han, the outside world does not think so.

In addition, the wind and waves set off by the outside world are far from being comparable to a small pond like Banshu. You must know that even a figure like Toto, who has been in charge of national politics for more than ten years, is still so unclear in this era. Compared with it, what can he be counted as a small son of toast like Yang Keng.

At this time, Yang Keng really doesn't have much so-called ambition.

Therefore, after receiving the news from home, now he is just thinking about what he can talk about with the black-clothed army, and the two sides will not interfere with each other. As for other ambitions, heh, his own family knows his own affairs. If his soldiers are all from Banzhou soldiers, then as the future master of Banzhou, he does have the courage to fight against the black-clothed army.

But in front of the 20,000 soldiers and horses, a total of ten families and ten Tusi, even if Yang Keng is crazy, he will never think that this group of rabble can fight against the Chu army, which has won consecutive battles and is full of morale.

Therefore, after asking the spies about the strength and whereabouts of the Chu army coming south, Yang Keng couldn't help but gather all parties and issued an order to stay put.

And in this regard, Luo, Cheng, Wei, Hong, Fang, Dalong, Xiaolong, Wolong Bafan and Enzhou Tian naturally have no opinions. Everyone understands the truth of shooting a bird in the head.

Besides, they also have confidence, they think that the Chu army will definitely talk to them first. Because even if the Chu army wants to be an opponent against them, they can't win and still run.

At that time, the two sides tore their faces, and they kept sneaking up on the Chu army from the rear, could the Chu army still enter the mountains to exterminate them!? Are you kidding.

Therefore, when Zhang Shihui and Lu Sicheng led the army all the way south, until they came to Dingdian Station at the southernmost end of Changde Road, the 20,000 Miao troops stationed outside Yuanling City still did not move.

However, although they are "fearless", for Lu Tiange, the governor of Chenzhou Road, all this undoubtedly puts him in a dilemma. It is important to protect the lives of oneself, the soldiers and the people under one's rule, and it is important to uphold one's loyalty and reputation.

Well, although the outcome of this choice is unambiguous for the vast majority of people. But for middle-aged people in their forties, who have been influenced by orthodox Confucianism for most of their lives, it seems a little difficult.

"Your Excellency, have you thought about it?" At night, in Lu Tiange's study, looking at Lu Tiange, who was sitting behind the desk and still silent, Wang Zhengyang, the judge of Chenzhou Road, who had a standard Chinese face and was about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, flashed a trace of anxiety in his eyes, and at the same time, he couldn't help but interrupt Lu Tiange's thinking.

And suddenly he was interrupted by someone, or was interrupted by a judge whose official position was only in the seventh grade, it is said that Lu Tiange's identity should be to scold this judge, so that you can clarify your identity.

But after getting along these days, Chenzhou Road and Yuanling City can have today's stable situation, most of them rely on the assistance of this little judge, and Lu Tiange will not take such a small offense to heart.

"Zhengyang, I know what you think in your heart. You want me to surrender to those black-clothed thieves, just like Changde Road and Lizhou Road did for them, right? After being interrupted from his thoughts, Lu Tiange looked at Wang Zhengyang and couldn't help but say such words.

In this regard, after Wang Zhengyang sighed, he couldn't help but ask: "My lord, do we have any other choice besides?" ”

"I ......" was asked by Wang Zhengyang like this, Lu Tiange was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but fall into silence.

Seeing this, Wang Zhengyang, who was sitting opposite him, took a deep breath and couldn't help but continue: "My lord, you know. The group of Miao troops outside the city, that is, when the situation was good, helped fight a good battle.

And in the current situation, it is absolutely impossible for this group of Miao troops to do their best to resist the Chu army. Now, they are standing still. It is clear that he has the idea of negotiating with the Chu army. I want to continue to go back to make my own toast in this troubled world, and I don't interfere with the outside world.

And for their request, judging from the methods of the Chu king's city government, the Chu army will definitely agree. This can be seen from the fact that Lu Xiang also led the army south this time. In this way, in the face of the menacing Chu army, how can I resist it with the strength of my Chenzhou alone.

It is in the eyes of his subordinates. Apart from surrendering, I really have no other choice in Chenzhou! ”

"Hey! Zhengyang, do you think I don't understand this? Lu Tiange asked rhetorically at this time, and his expression became more and more solemn, "Zhengyang, it's not that I don't understand the current situation. Which King of Chu am I afraid of now, I'm afraid that he is not the master, I'm afraid that he can't make a big deal but will affect you and me! ”

"Hehe, I see." Hearing him say this, Wang Zhengyang couldn't help but smile on his face at this time, "My lord, what do you think of Lu Xiang?" ”

"Lu Xiang!" Hearing Wang Zhengyang say this, Lu Tiange couldn't help but be silent. Yes, Lu Sicheng has served as a servant of the imperial history, a scholar of the Jixian Academy, a scholar of the imperial history, and a priest of the country. Straightforward, stubborn, outspoken, and impartial, he is the sect of the world.

Compared with a world-famous person like Lu Sicheng, you Lu Tiange is the onion and the garlic.

But in this case, Wang Zhengyang naturally won't say it directly, "Lu Xiang's character is known all over the world." Jiangxia City was broken, and Lü Xiang was defeated and captured. The King of Chu was very courteous, and he invited Lu Xiang three times, but Lu Xiang still did not descend. provoked the king of Chu to be furious and wanted to kill Lu Xiang.

However, when he arrived at the execution ground, he was convinced by Lu Xiang and wanted to release Lu Xiang. And Lu Xiang received such a courtesy from the King of Chu, and he was grateful and impressed. Not to mention anything else, it can be seen from this point alone that the king of Chu really has the wisdom of knowing people, the act of breaking the knots, and the virtue of benevolence.

Such conduct is concentrated in one person. Isn't the King of Chu still a master? ”

"This ......" Hearing Wang Zhengyang's words, Lu Tiange's heart thought about it carefully, the hesitation in his eyes dissipated, and he couldn't help but show a little determination.
