The time that belongs to Xiao Duo is really running out, Wang Seng Bian and Gao Yue's two armies are surrounding Xiangyang City, and the hundreds of thousands of ordinary people and troops in the city are in a chaotic state of disorganization and no command at this time. Chen Baxian also took Xiao Fangzhi to Xiangyang City at this time, he was ordered by Gao Huan to come to the meeting, for Gao Huan and his person, Chen Baxian had long wanted to see the demeanor of the real person.

Gao Huan met him in the camp, and he was dressed very casually, just ordinary clothes, but he didn't expect Gao Huan to be young and handsome, and said in his heart: Jin Yu is ruined outside. But Gao Huan saw him from afar and greeted him, and said very happily: "Haha General Chen, I've been waiting for you for a long time, come with me." As he spoke, he stepped forward and took his hand affectionately and dragged it in.

Chen Baxian was a little embarrassed by his enthusiasm, and no one had ever treated him like this. Gao Huan said to the attendants: "Let the lady also come out to meet General Chen." By the way, make some bitter tea I brought from Yecheng, and I want to taste it with General Chen. The attendant respectfully promised and immediately retreated. After a while, Yaoqin came out of the room with the maid.

Chen Baxian hurriedly got up and bowed his head respectfully and said, "Chen Ba has seen Madame first. Yaoqin said with a smile on her face: "It's better to be famous than to meet, the general is really extraordinary." Gao Huan pretended to be jealous and said, "Is there more bearing than me?" Chen Baxian was very embarrassed and nervous when he heard this, his palms were sweating, and he only heard Yaoqin say with a smile: "You can't compare it, the king is the monarch and the minister is the minister, do you even have to be jealous of this?" This is just right, not only to praise Chen Baxian, but also to make Gao Huan feel embarrassed. Monarchs and ministers cannot be compared, but the temperament of jealous courtiers is not what a monarch should have.

Yaoqin sat down and said, "Wang, I made some snacks, do you want to taste them with General Chen?" Gao Huan smiled and said, "It's okay, let General Chen also try Madame's craftsmanship together." Hearing this, Chen Baxian hurriedly got up and said, "The minister is not very afraid, but he is afraid that he will not dare to make a mistake." Gao Huan pressed him to his seat and said with a smile: "Why is the general still restrained, it doesn't have to be like this, be casual." ”

When eating snacks, Chen Ba peeked at Gao Huan a few times, and saw that his words and deeds were very easy-going, and his words and deeds were very easy-going, and his words and deeds were very sincere, especially when talking to himself, he always had to add honorifics, which made him feel that Gao Huan was really a person without a fight, easy-going and good at talking, and indeed few masters could be as informal as him. I don't feel that my admiration for Gao Huan is a little more.

The three of them were talking and laughing, at this time Gao Yue came in from outside, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Gao Huan and Chen Baxian, Gao Yue took off his helmet and tucked it in the crook of his arm, stepped forward, and said a little domineeringly: "Isn't this General Chen?" Why did you also come to Xiangyang for the temple fair? Gao Huan heard this: "Don't be rude, General Chen was ordered to come to support us in attacking the city." ”

Gao Yue said angrily: "Hehe, we fought desperately to the city of Xiangyang, but as soon as people came, they easily sat in the camp and drank tea and talked about it, admiring it." As he spoke, he put down his helmet heavily, walked to the teapot, picked it up and gulped it, and picked up a piece of snack from the snack box and threw it into his mouth, chewing it in a big gulp.

Yaoqin knows his character, coupled with her identity, naturally she will not worry about Gao Yue, it stands to reason that Gao Yue is his brother-in-law, and as a sister-in-law, you can't say that your brother-in-law is not good. But Chen Baxian's face was ugly, and Gao Huan was also a little unhappy: "Why did you come here with your teeth and claws, what can't you say well?" Now everyone is the same family. ”

Gao Yue replied angrily: "Family? I asked him to come to Taicheng to help me several times before, but unfortunately my Gaoyue Temple is small and can't accommodate this big Buddha, so people directly voted for Xiao Duo, why did it become a family again today? It turned out that Gao Yue was always angry about Chen Baxian's incompetence at the beginning, he felt that Chen Baxian didn't give himself face and didn't take him seriously at all, which made him very embarrassed in front of Gao Longzhi for a while.

Chen Ba got up first and said: "Xiao Duo's son has already brought it, and he is outside the camp at this moment, so the minister will bring it in. After saying that, he turned around and left, Gao Yue wanted to continue to sarcastically say a few words to him, but was stopped by Gao Huan. After all, Chen Baxian is now his own person, although he can't favor anyone, but a bowl of water must always be even. Gao Yue's father-in-law, Qian Miao and Wang Seng Bian walked into the camp, and Yaoqin got up and said goodbye and returned to the back room. Men have something to discuss, women should avoid it, Gao Huan is very moved by her reasonableness, which is why he is willing to go out to fight and take her with him, there are many benefits, you can enjoy the care of your family, you can have a woman warm bed.

Wang Seng Bian put down his sword and helmet and sat aside, Gao Huan asked Gao Yue, "How is it, is the siege still smooth?" Gao Yue only remembered his business at this time, so he scolded angrily: "Damn, these people are like this and they have to resist desperately, and I have no tricks, what glory and wealth did this Xiao Duo give them, let them work so desperately?" ”

Wang Seng Bian also said: "The enemy army defending the city is also fighting for their lives, and our army has rushed to the city several times, but the number of people is not advantageous and is repulsed." Gao Huan asked, "Can't you attack alternately in multiple rounds?" For example, if you attack the east, let General Gao and General Qian attack the west. Qian Miao wiped the sweat on his face and said: "It's useless, this Xiangyang City was originally a high wall, and the city was easy to defend and difficult to attack, not to mention that we can easily take it by attacking the east and the west." ”

Gao Huan was a little puzzled: "Is there no way for us to surround us like this?" At this time, Chen Ba first escorted Xiao Fangzhi in from outside. Everyone was a little surprised when they saw it, and Gao Yue asked, "Who is this person?" Gao Huanxi said: "It is estimated that your attack on Xiangyang depends on this person." So he personally stepped forward to untie Xiao Fangzhi, Xiao Fangzhi was originally very timid, but when he saw Gao Huan and Gao Yue at this moment, he thought that he would definitely die today, but who knew that Gao Huan would personally untie him.

Gao Huan took Xiao Fangzhi's hand and said: "Your family was originally a relative of the emperor and was deeply favored by the emperor, and now the emperor is your uncle, and we are here on order, why do you want to use the lives of the people in the city to resist?" It is better to persuade your father to surrender early, and we will not do anything to him and your family. I am happy to make a promise, you can rest assured. ”

Xiao Fangzhi had seen Gao Huan before and knew this person's ability, now that the two armies were facing each other, he originally guessed that his father might lose to this man, but now it seems that he guessed correctly. But he didn't expect Gao Huan to agree to let his family go, which made Xiao Fangzhi feel a little surprised. He raised his head and asked timidly, "What the prime minister said is true?" ”

Gao Huan looked at him with sincerity and said, "When did I tell someone a lie?" Xiao Fangzhi then nodded and said, "Let me think about it." Gao Huan then said to the guards: "Take the son down to rest, you can't be wrong in serving your life." Everyone watched Xiao Fangzhi disappear outside the door, and then Gao Yue said: "Xiao Duo should have nothing to say now, even his own son is in our hands." ”

Chen Baxian shook his head and said, "With what I know about him, he won't give in so easily." Gao Yue asked angrily: "I don't know what advanced strategy General Chen has, let's listen to it and open our eyes." Gao Yue has followed Gao Huan for many years, and has seen many of Murong Heng's unfathomable plans, he really doesn't believe that a reckless man in Jiangnan will have any wisdom, he just wants to embarrass Chen Baxian before saying this.

Chen Ba had already seen through his intentions, and said indifferently: "Speaking of Xiao Duo, the minister does know a little about him. Gao Huan came interested and said, "Oh? General Chen might as well talk about it. Wang Seng Bian actually knew Xiao Duo earlier than Chen Baxian, but he hadn't spoken since he saw Xiao Fangzhi just now, that is, he didn't know Chen Baxian and wanted to hide in the dark to observe and study him.

Chen Baxian said respectfully: "I don't dare to talk about good policies, I can only say that it is some speculation about his code of conduct, the so-called siege of the city, such a strong city must be easy to defend and difficult to attack, we might as well start from the hearts of the people, Xiao Duo is a person who has a false name and is strong in the middle, and he is so happy that he has a bad intention, it is said that he wants to be the emperor for a day or two, and he also privately made the emperor's frame, clothing and jade seal in the house. This is ironclad evidence of rebellion, and now Xiao Fangzhi has come out to correct it, plus we treat the prisoners preferentially, so that the people in the city know that there is no point in working for a master who has lost his righteousness, on the contrary, as long as he is willing to surrender to our army, we will give them money, give them officials, and promise them glory and wealth. ”

Gao Huan remembered what Yang Kan told him later, after the matter was completed, he wanted him to make Chen Baxian a high-ranking official and give his subordinates enough status and wealth, could it be that the original origin of this thing was him Chen Baxian? I only heard Chen Baxian continue: "In fact, Xiao Duo has not been popular in Jingzhou all these years, it is nothing more than that the princes in other towns can't find a more suitable person to rely on, so they have to choose Xiao Duo with a royal background." As long as most of us know who he really is, we are tempting for a lot of money, and it is almost certain that not many people will die for him. At that time, Xiangyang will be self-defeating, and our army will only need to change the landscape. ”

This sentence was very reasonable, even Wang Seng Bian nodded frequently, his understanding of Xiao Duo was indeed very good, and he could see at a glance that this person was a hypocrite. In fact, Wang Seng Bian also chose to run away because he couldn't stand Xiao Duo's obscenity. Even now, he still can't let go of Xiao Duo's actions back then, and at this moment he said with great approval: "What General Chen said is very correct. Prime Minister, this Xiao Duochen also knows him very well. It's a wasted gentleman, a little ambitious but not virtuous, good at scheming and very suspicious, seemingly sincere to people but always wary of it. I'm most afraid of such unpredictable people.

If, as General Chen said, I think the defenders in the city will naturally be discouraged and panicked, and then we don't need to do anything, they will disperse in a hurry, and we will reap the benefits. "Although Wang Seng Bian is not good at martial arts on the battlefield, he still has some strengths in strategy, Gao Huan takes a fancy to his old scheming, so he will let him match Gao Yue, one article and one martial arts, and Gao Yue's father-in-law Qian Miao to help.

Qian Miao said at this time: "But how can we persuade Xiao Fangzhi to come out and expose his father? From what I have just seen, I see that he cares about his family very much, and does not seem to be a villain who sells for glory. Gao Huan looked at him and didn't speak, Chen Baxian smiled and said: "What this adult said is extremely true, so our biggest problem at the moment is how to let Xiao Fangzhi come out and expose his father." ”

Gao Huan felt that Chen Baxian seemed to be confident, so he asked, "What is your opinion on this issue?" Chen Baxian said modestly: "The minister doesn't dare to say that he has any high opinions, he only has a little personal idea to say to the prime minister, if you think it's okay, let's try." Gao Yue also had to come over at this time, wanting to hear what kind of clever opinion this Chen Baxian had.

Chen Baxian looked at everyone looking at themselves with very "admired" eyes, so he said: "People in the world are all weak, not to mention a small role like Xiao Fangzhi, he is greedy for life and afraid of death, but values his family, let's make a fuss about these two points, first coerce and lure him, and tell him that as long as he persuades his father, he can inherit the throne of the king of Xiangdong." Then he sent someone to find a few dead heads, and said that his father had killed his wife and children after learning that he had been captured, and Xiao Duo was usually neurotic, and I didn't think it was strange what kind of thing he did. ”

I have to say that this trick to separate father and son is a bit damaged, but it seems to be very practical, Gao Huan feels that it will work, and then look at the others, it seems that they have no better way than this, so he clapped his hand and said: "Okay, then do what you say, Gao Yue can do a good job in this matter." Gao Yue got up and said, "The last general has an order, you can rest assured about this matter, the king." (To be continued.) )
