After analyzing the situation in Kyushu with Fang Shuliu, Jiang Nan and Fang Shuliu can also be regarded as establishing some friendship, Jiang Nan has never thought of receiving Fang Shuliu under his command, for him now, a prince who has been famous in the empire for a long time is really a little out of reach.

But now Fang Shuliu can also be said to regard Jiang Nan as a figure of the same level, in his eyes, even if this broken general has a low reputation and low strength, he still has a desirable side.

The situation in Kyushu was discussed by the two, and the current way of marching was also arranged by the two, Fang Shuliu volunteered to take back Longquan and prevent the invasion of the Qingren, while Jiangnan took his original 30,000 soldiers and horses plus 10,000 heavy infantry borrowed by Fang Shuliu to start his journey to recapture Xiaochi, after all, the siege of the city also needs these veteran infantry to play their specialties.

Today's Xiaochi County has less Niu Fen, a brave general, who is no longer qualified to compete with Jiangnan in terms of force, but fortunately, with their mainstay Liu Shaokun in charge, after several battles, this person actually nailed his blood to the city tower, and put on a posture of coexisting and dying with Xiaochi.

Of course, the strategy of exhausting troops is useless, although Liu Shaokun is also like Shi Tao in Zetan County, but now the strength of Jiangnan is almost the same as that of Xiaochi County, and if you want to separate your forces to harass the opponent, you may not be eaten up by Liu Shaokun to fight more and less.

However, almost all the people in the Jiangnan army maintained an optimistic attitude towards this battle, and the military horse marquis had already paved the rear for himself, and as long as he and his people adopted an attitude of besieging and not attacking Koike County, even if it took some time, they would be able to take this city of great significance.

The first three people in the military general seat are Ling Press, Niu Fen, and Pan Min. These three people who are also treasure generals can now be said to have completely fought together, and after several battles, Ling Fen admired Niu Fen's physique, and Niu Fen also admired Ling Fen's momentum, as for Pan Min's one-handed bow skills, everyone tacitly agreed.

Corresponding to the military generals, the left side of the short case sat before Chen Lin, Guo Zhun, and Tai Liang, and the three of them can be said to be the biggest reliance on Jiangnan strategists, Chen Lin is in charge, Guo Zhun is in charge, and Tai Liang is in charge of military discipline, and the tens of thousands of soldiers in Jiangnan can be said to be more and more elite in such a reasonable division of labor.

"Enlighten the lord!" A herald in heavy armor had fallen to his knees in the barracks.

Jiang Nan put down the bamboo slip in his hand, raised his head and glanced at it.

"Someone outside the gate claims to be the representative of the Chen family, Chen Zhengyang, and wants to ask to see the lord!"

After the herald finished speaking, Chen Lin's figure was obviously shocked, Jiang Nan motioned for the herald to retreat, and then asked.

"What does Lao Chen think, what is the purpose of your Chen family's visit this time?"

Chen Lin got up, very respectful as usual, "Back to the lord's words, according to Lin's estimate, the intention of this Xiaochi Chen family is probably to seek peace!" ”

"Oh?" Jiang Nan asked with interest, "Then according to Lao Chen's meaning, do we agree or not?" ”

Chen Lin smiled bitterly, "Since Lin has left the Chen family, she naturally doesn't care about the Chen family's affairs, and the lord doesn't have to estimate Lin's face when dealing with the Chen family's affairs."

But judging from the current situation, according to Lin's idea, the lord can fully agree, and with the Chen family in Koike County, the siege of the city is naturally much easier. ”

Guo Zhun smiled and said: "Old Chen, old Chen, don't you hate the Chen family for expelling you from the house, if you come down like this, the Chen family will have a cooperative relationship with the lord, and you will probably be unable to deal with the Chen family for a while." ”

Jiang Nan looked at Guo Zhun and knew that this prodigal kid was helping him to ask Chen Lin what he meant, but there were some things that he couldn't say, so he could only do it for Guo Zhun.

"Didn't Master Guo also put Huang Quan's matter aside and didn't forcibly attack?" Chen Lin slowed down and said: "Since you and I are both doing things for the lord, then our own enmity and enmity naturally have to be put on the second seat, not to mention that Lin is willing to leave the Chen family, so how can you hold a grudge?" ”

Throwing over to Jiangnan again, Chen Lin said solemnly: "Thinking that this Chen Zhengyang is the descendant of the Chen family's generation, the Chen family can actually let this person come to negotiate, which is naturally quite important to this cooperation."

Chen Zhengyang's character Lin also knows a thing or two, this person's soft grinding and hard soaking kung fu is famous for the Chen family, but he has some talent, and his cultivation is not even under Lin, and the lord needs to seek benefits as much as possible when negotiating with this person. ”

Jiang Nan listened to Chen Lin's words and nodded, and then asked the soldiers to call Chen Zhengyang to the camp tent, at this time it was close to noon Jiangnan asked people to prepare some food, Chen Zhengyang also sat in front of the low case in a proper manner.

"The iron law in our army is not allowed to drink, and I hope that Zhengyang will forgive Nan for the crime of neglect!"

As soon as Chen Zhengyang heard this, he also stepped forward and said: "The general is polite, it is considered presumptuous to come to the general camp today on the order of the head of the family, the general is not to blame, how dare Zhengyang make a mistake!" ”

Jiang Nan smiled, and then he also asked at this man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who looked quite handsome: "Now that our army is fighting with Xiaochi, I don't know what Brother Zhengyang is talking about here?" ”

Jiang Nan was directly to the point, Chen Zhengyang was not ambiguous, and he said to Jiang Nan's eyes: "Don't hide it from the general, Zhengyang came here this time to solve this small pond matter for the general!" ”

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen eyes in the barracks focused on Chen Zhengyang's body.

I saw Chen Zhengyang tidying up his clothes, and said: "I think my Chen family has been fulfilling its duties since the founding of the country, and now it coincides with the troubled times when the white thieves are rampant, and my Chen family is looking forward to the arrival of the general, but now the general has been attacking Xiaochi for a long time, so we are thinking about helping the general!" ”

Chen Zhengyang's thick eyebrows raised slightly, "As long as the general attacks the city tomorrow, my Chen family can gather people from the city to fight against the Taibai thieves, and I will send my Chen family's private soldiers to open the city gate for the general!" ”

As expected by Chen Lin and others, the Chen family did come to Jiangnan to cooperate, and now this Chen Zhengyang is just talking about how to help Jiangnan break the city, and he does not mention the interests of his own family, which also makes Jiangnan realize that the person in front of him is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

It is the second time that he led the army to Xiaochi, and the Chen family did not send a representative to come when he attacked Xiaochi for the first time, obviously they also knew that the Taibai Sect colluded with Qingguo to oppose their rear, but at that time the Chen family was still waiting, and now the military horse Hou entered An, and commanded the pacification of the Qingren, which also made the situation in Anzhou gradually clear, and the Chen family naturally had to find a way to protect themselves.

If he came and said that the Chen family wanted to obtain benefits, he would naturally not be able to make Jiangnan feel good, but scheming people like Chen Zhengyang first said what the Chen family could help Jiangnan do, highlighting the importance of the Chen family to Jiangnan's capture of Xiaochi, which also made Jiangnan gradually realize the capital of the Chen family's negotiations with himself.

Jiang Nan rubbed his forehead and said, "I wonder if Brother Zhengyang can tell Nan Chen how many private soldiers there are?" How can Nan be sure that the Chen family has the strength to open the city gates? ”

Chen Zhengyang obviously came prepared, smiled slightly, and said: "What the general asked is reasonable, and our Chen family naturally wants to tell the general the details."

Our Anzhou Chen family is not so much a family, but rather a branch of the large and small Chen family. Unlike other families, there are as many as seven or eight branches of our Chen family in Koike, but they all accept the deployment of the main Chen family.

In this way, according to the establishment of the empire of 800, our private army is also close to 5,000 men. ”

Chen Zhengyang raised five fingers, and Chen Lin on the side couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward and said: "Zhengyang's words are different, when Lin didn't leave the Chen family before, there were more than 1,500 private soldiers in the Chen family, how could there be only 5,000 private soldiers in the Chen family in the entire Xiaochi County?" ”

Hearing Chen Lin speak, Chen Zhengyang frowned obviously but said quite respectfully: "My cousin has been separated from the family for a long time, and naturally I don't know some of the circumstances of the family. If you follow the previous large and small private soldiers of the Chen family, there are not 8,000 but also 10,000, but now the Taibai thieves have invaded and forcefully forced men to join the army, so our private soldiers have also been sharply reduced to 5,000 people! ”

"Even if it is as Zhengyang said, even if the Taibai Sect captures men, I think the Chen family still has some means to protect their private soldiers, and we have never heard of a battle between the Chen family and the Taibai Sect, so there are only five thousand people left, how can Lin not believe it!"

Chen Zhengyang's face was gloomy and he did not speak. And Jiang Nan, the chairman, said indifferently: "Let's talk about your Chen family's requirements first!" ”

Chen Zhengyang hurriedly swept away the gloom on his face and stepped forward, "General Hui Poyu, it was Zhengyang's to hide something from the general just now, as my cousin said, if the general's attack on Xiaochi County this time attracts the attention of Liu Shaokun's army, our Chen family can send 8,000 people to attack Liu Shaokun's rear and open the city gate in one fell swoop to welcome the general into the city."

But the head of the family also said that now whether it is the Taibai Sect's invasion of the eight counties of Anzhou or the capture of the three counties of Qingguo, it has caused chaos in the northern part of Anzhou, and I think that although my Anzhou is vast, the Anzhou Prefecture Pastor has no intention of supporting for a long time, so the head of the family wants to ask the general to play the imperial court and set up an independent chief official position in the northern part of Anzhou..."

…

Although Liu Shaokun received Huang Yunyun's letter again, he was not in the mood to study it at this time, so he just put it in the brocade box for the time being, and asked the spies who were waiting for him in the hall

"Who is the Chen family sent to Jiangnan this time?"

The detective arched his head and replied: "Qi Qi military advisor, the villain has observed all the way, this person should be the descendant of the Chen family, Chen Zhengyang is no different!" ”

Liu Shaokun's eyes showed a thoughtful look, and his mouth seemed to mumble to himself: "A thick-skinned person like Chen Zhengyang is a good candidate for the Chen family to negotiate, a good Chen family has endured it for so long, you really can't bear it!" ”

The eyes of thought suddenly became stern.

"In that case, you will go and rule over the people of the Marquis of Zhongshan and act according to the original plan!"

The detective was ordered to go down, but Liu Shaokun did not move at all.

"Such collusion with Qingguo, Liu Shaokun, you are really depraved!"

"It's good!" Liu Shaokun suddenly laughed at himself, "Let me also see how capable the Jiangnan you chose, Lao Niu!" ”

The long sword suddenly came out of the sheath, and Liu Shaokun danced in the main hall, and for a while, the case was broken, and the wooden chair flew sideways, but the grievance in his heart did not decrease at all, and the sword in his hand became more and more powerful.
