Chapter 128: Liu Bao's Ambition

……

On the west bank of Surabaya, Wang Hui had been put on a boat by two people, and fled to the west bank with the remnants of less than 1,000 defeated soldiers. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Facts have proved that no matter where he goes, Wang Hui is always accustomed to leaving a good way back for himself.

He said that he would not be a deserter, but as early as two days ago, he sent people to collect dozens of large and small boats, which were quietly deployed on the shore of Surabaya in the southwest direction of the camp.

"The enemy can't cross the river for a while, okay, you can let me go." Wang Hui, who was tied to his horse, sighed.

Song Qian and Wang Fei glanced back at the east bank, thousands of military infantry had been killed to the shore, but because there were no boats, it would take some time to collect warships to cross the river, and they were out of danger for the time being.

Only then did the two breathe a sigh of relief and let go of Wang Hui.

Wang Hui turned over and dismounted, sat on a big stone by the river, and looked at the soldiers and soldiers on the other bank, as if he had knocked over a five-flavor bottle.

From a child of a family, it was easy to become the head of a county, who would have thought that before the ass sat firmly, everything would come to naught, and he would become a poor bastard again.

And the one who ruined everything for him turned out to be Zhang Yuan, a gentleman he had always looked down on.

At this moment, Wang Hui was extremely remorseful in his heart, if he had known that Zhang Yuan was his nemesis, he should have gotten rid of that kid in the first place, and he would not have fallen to such a state now.

"Lord, what should we do now?" Song Qian's voice came from behind him.

Wang Hui came back to his senses from his sigh, looked at the rolling river, pondered for a long time, stood up and patted his buttocks, and sighed: "Until now, I can only rely on Liu Bao." ”

As soon as these words came out, the two immediately changed color.

Wang Fei jumped up and shouted: "Liu Bao is just a Hun barbarian, after the lord is a famous family, how can the lord go to him in a low voice?" ”

Wang Hui's gray face showed a helpless wry smile, "In Bingzhou, except for Liu Bao, there is no one who can be an enemy of Zhang Yuan. In the west, there are 500 cavalry under Zhang Yuan, and we will be caught up after we go for long. Only by going to Liu Bao can we have a trace of life, after all, if we go to him, he will be embarrassed to harm us. ”

Wang Fei was so suffocated that his face was about to blow up, and he couldn't think of a better way, so he could only squat down and sulk by himself.

Song Qian shook his head and sighed: "Can the lord bear this kind of humiliation?" ”

"If you want to achieve great things, what is a little humiliation, didn't I tell you, the person I admire the most is Gou Jian."

Wang Hui said as he turned over and got on his horse and ran along Surabaya in the direction of Jianxing.

The two glanced at each other, their expressions were only reluctant, but they could only get on their horses, take hundreds of remnants of the defeated generals, and follow Wang Hui in the direction of Jianxing.

......

When Liu Bao heard the news, he was naturally overjoyed and surprised.

Of course, the joy is that Wang Hui was defeated, Jianxing lost his last hope, and soon the people's hearts will be in turmoil, which is conducive to his siege.

Liu Bao was also shocked, he originally expected Zhang Yuan and Wang Hui to kill each other, and finally kill both of them, so that he could quickly clean up Zhang Yuan, who had lost a lot of strength, after breaking through Jianxing, so that the entire Bingzhou would be at his fingertips.

It's a pity that he never thought that Zhang Yuan had a scheming person like Gao Gong under his command, and a discordant plan made Wang Hui force the Wang family to rebel, and the cut off of grain and grass led to a great chaos in the army's morale, and then Zhang Yuan made a final decision, and returned to the pre-liberation period overnight.

"This Wang Hui is so vulnerable, does this kid Zhang Yuan really have such great ability?"

When Liu Bao and his staff were amazed by Zhang Yuan's astonishing methods, the arrival of a messenger from Jianxing quickly made Liu Bao forget about Zhang Yuan's surprise for the time being.

After holding on for more than half a month, Cheng Cheng, who made Liu Bao helpless, decided to open the city and surrender.

Cheng Chu is not an idiot, as a representative of the Cheng family, one of the two major families in Bingzhou, he is the same as Wang Gang, the head of the Wang family, every step of the decision, no matter who he supports or against, the first consideration is naturally the interests of the family.

Cheng Chushi assisted Wang Hui, because he saw that after Wang Hui's trust, the Wang family's strength grew rapidly, whether it was wealth or influence at the decision-making level in Bingzhou, they quickly surpassed their Cheng family, and it had the potential to become the largest family in Bingzhou.

In order to safeguard the interests of the family, Cheng Cheng only took the initiative to join Wang Hui's shogunate at the behest of his father.

Wang Hui is not stupid, he also saw that Wang Gang's power was expanding too fast, since Cheng Chu took the initiative to become a leader, on the one hand, he appreciated Cheng Chu's talent, and on the other hand, he also wanted to use the Cheng family to clamp down on Wang Gang, so as to balance the power of these clans in the state, so before the southern expedition, he appointed Cheng Chu as the Taishou of Jianxing to calm the county for him.

The reason why Wang Hui did not let Cheng Chu guard Jincheng was because Cheng Chu was a local wealthy family in Bingzhou, and holding too much power was not good for him, the lord

Moreover, Song Qian led 4,000 elite soldiers to sit in Jincheng, which can prevent Zhang Yuan in the north and monitor Cheng out in the west.

Wang Hui thought that his layout was seamless, but who would have thought that Zhang Yuan, an outlier, once again broke his entire layout.

Jincheng was broken, Wang Hui's return to the division was blocked, and Jianxing became a lonely city.

The reason why Cheng Zhu, who stayed behind, chose to stick to Jianxing was naturally waiting to see the result of the battle between Wang Hui and Zhang Yuan.

If Wang Hui wins and returns to Jianxing, Liu Bao will inevitably be defeated, and he will become a meritorious minister, and he will be reused by Wang Hui, and the Cheng family will also benefit from it.

If Wang Hui is defeated, then if he persists, it will naturally have no meaning.

Therefore, after receiving the news of Wang Hui's defeat overnight from his cronies, Cheng Zhu decided to surrender to Liu Bao after consulting with his father.

Cheng Cheng surrendered without a fight, and Jianxing City was broken without a fight, which is equivalent to a big pie falling from the sky to Liu Bao, how can Liu Bao not be overjoyed.

On the same day, Liu Bao led his tiger and wolf army, and stepped into this county administration office with high spirits, and sat on the seat that originally belonged to Wang Hui.

Liu Bao was very happy, but he also kept a little calm, he had heard the news that Wang Gang had returned to Zhang Yuan, which meant that Zhang Yuan had the support of the Wang family, one of the two major families in Bingzhou.

So on the day Liu Bao entered Pi, he sealed Cheng Cheng, who had contributed to the city, as a merit to the state, and continued to lead the construction of the Xingxiang in order to win over the Cheng family.

On that day, when Liu Bao was in the county hall and listening to Cheng Chu's talk, Gao Shun, who was on duty at the city gate, sent someone Pegasus to deliver another piece of good news.

Wang Hui, who was defeated in Mukou, fled to Jianxing in embarrassment with his two brothers and hundreds of remnants of soldiers, asking for attachment.
