'Luck' escaped from the encirclement of the Liaodong Army, and Zhang Bin, Ran Zhan and other remnants of the army were defeated and did not dare to delay and fled all the way south, until they entered the Xindu City, and everyone was terrified. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, news came from the north that Shile had been captured and that the army of 500,000 had been annihilated. When he first learned that Shi Le had been captured, Zhang Bin couldn't help but feel sad. Shi Le's ending today, in addition to the strength of Liaodong, is also related to Zhang Bin's secret 'collusion' with Liaodong.

It's just that Zhang Bin has already boarded the Liaodong thief ship now, and it is too late to get off the ship, so he can only continue to walk hard. After helping Liaodong complete the important task of gathering and annihilating the main force of Qianhu, Zhang Bin will also help Liaodong take Xiangguo City.

At present, there are 200,000 garrisons in Xiangguo City, of which more than 80,000 are the elite of Qianhu, about 30,000 are Liuyi soldiers, and the remaining nearly 90,000 are Han soldiers. And if Zhang Bin wants to control Xiangguo City, he can only rely on the Han soldiers.

And to control the Han soldiers, it is inseparable from the Han generals headed by Ran Zhan, so Zhang Bin plans to tell Ran Zhan and the plate.

"Hongwu, I think I have a lot of doubts about what you have done, and then I will tell you all the secrets, and let the general choose what to do."

Ran Zhan's heart moved when he heard this, in fact, he had long suspected that Zhang Bin had some entanglement with Liaodong secretly, but he never found tangible evidence, until this 'easily' highlighted the encirclement of Liaodong, and it was only when he was sure that he had three points.

Under that circumstance at that time, if it weren't for the Liaodong Army deliberately releasing water, how could the thousands of people under his command protect Zhang Bin and escape from Liaodong safe and sound.

"Please make it clear to the military division, the last general must only be the head of the military division!"

It didn't take long for Ran Zhan to make up his mind, and he quickly expressed his loyalty to Zhang Bin. Now that the demise of Qianhu is a foregone conclusion, if he doesn't want to be buried with Qianhu, he can only move closer to Liaodong as soon as possible. And Zhang Bin is obviously from Liaodong, so he will naturally firmly grasp the other party's life-saving straw.

"Good! I was not mistaken! ”

Zhang Bin bowed slightly, very satisfied with Ran Zhan's choice, and then he told the other party all the Liaodong plans and explained the heavy responsibility he shouldered.

In the end, Zhang Bin said cautiously: "Hongwu, next we must rush back to Xiangguo City as soon as possible, and then secretly control the entire city, so as to prepare for Liaodong's capture of Xiangguo in the future." ”

"Please rest assured, the last general will fully cooperate!"

Now Zhang Bin and his entourage are hurrying to Xiangguo. Xindu City is about two hundred and twenty miles away from Xiangguo City, which means that it will take at least ten days or so for Zhang Bin and his team to reach Xiangguo smoothly. He was in a hurry to go to Xiangguo, naturally he didn't want the power to fall into the hands of Cheng Yao, otherwise how would he complete the task given to him by Liaodong?

If he can't rush back to Xiangguo in time and let Cheng Yao control the power, even if Zhang Bin has Shi Le's will in his hands, even if he adds thousands of troops in Ran Zhan's hands, he will not be able to compete with Cheng Yao, who controls more than 100,000 defenders in Xiangguo.

But at present, Zhang Bin is a hundred miles away, and he can only watch as Xiangguo whip is out of reach. So far, Zhang Bin can only take one step at a time, and try to get to Xiangguo as soon as possible.

The war horses kept galloping on the field, Zhang Bin fought hard, and ran wild with Ran Zhan day and night, only when they were tired and couldn't run, they would stop and rest for a while, and then continue to hurry, looking like they would never stop until Xiangguo.

Only by rushing back to Xiangguo in time can Zhang Bin hope of replacing Cheng Yao, and as long as Xiangguo is handed over to Liaodong, even if he completes his mission, he can choose to die to liberate.

When Zhang Bin frantically rushed to Xiangguo day and night, the city of Xiangguo was also turbulent, and Shi Le's capture was too big a blow to Xianghu, and many of the Xianghu generals collapsed when they learned the news!

……

With the annihilation of the Northern Expeditionary Army and the capture of Shile, the rule of Qianhu in Jizhou completely collapsed.

Many soldiers from the Jin people scattered in all directions, while the Qianhu people gathered in panic towards Xiangguo City, as if they could only feel at ease by staying with more and more Huguo.

And when the news of Shi Le's capture reached Xiangguo City, the whole city seemed to be lit with firecrackers, and the Hulu generals went crazy to find out the news from Cheng Yao, Guo Tai, Guo Xiang and others, while those Jin people who were often bullied were secretly happy, and some clever people did not hesitate to choose to escape from Xiangguo.

As an important minister in charge of staying in Xiangguo, Cheng Yao was so frightened that he almost turned his back when he learned that Shi Le had been captured and the entire Northern Expeditionary Army had collapsed.

"What to do? What to do? Cheng Yao's face was pale, and he couldn't stop muttering to himself, now he was really out of proportion.

But Cheng Yao is not an ordinary person after all, and he quickly had an idea. With the capture of a large number of high-level cadres such as Shi Le, there was a break in the high-level cadres. And Cheng Yao, as Shi Le's brother-in-law and the uncle of Shi Hong, he can justifiably control the entire Xiangguo and use it for his own benefit.

And Cheng Yao didn't believe that there was anyone else in Xiangguo City who had the power to compete with him, unless Xu Guang or Zhang Bin was there, no one could stop Cheng Yao from controlling Xiangguo City.

Without further ado, Cheng Yao convened his henchmen overnight, intending to send people to control the more than 100,000 troops in the city first. However, Cheng Yao obviously underestimated the situation in the city, and now because Shi Le was captured, Xiangguo became chaotic, and many generals took the opportunity to support their own troops, and in the face of Cheng Yao's attempt to meddle in the army, except for a small number of people who took advantage of the situation to take refuge in the past, most people were still waiting and watching.

……

Due to the fact that Shi Le, Shi Hu and other high-level leaders were all captured, and Kui'an, another giant of Xianghu, was far away in Pengcheng, there was not a single prestige and capable Qianghu in the entire Xiangguo City who stood up to preside over the overall situation. In the eyes of many Qianghu people, Kui An is the person who is suitable to preside over the overall situation at the moment.

As for Cheng Yao, his natural Jin identity is destined to not be supported by the Liang people, if it weren't for the fact that he was an important minister appointed by Shi Le before leaving, coupled with the identity of Shi Hong's uncle, there might not be any account of Cheng Yao bought by Cheng Yao.

The people in Xiangguo City were panicked, especially those who were diehard in Xiangguo, knowing that there would be no good results if they fell into the hands of Liaodong, and they were ready to live and die with Xiangguo. Today, nearly 300,000 men, women, and children have gathered in the city of Xiangguo, many of whom are diehards of the Qianghu, and they all plan to use their lives to bury the Qianghu.

In addition, in addition to a part of the Qianghu die-loyalist, there are still nearly 100,000 people in the city, they have no loyalty to the Qianghu, they are just some opportunistic people, Shile was captured, the big tree in the shade fell, Liuyi should naturally find other ways out.

Just when people from all sides were panicking, Zhang Bin returned to Xiangguo City with Ran Zhan. Zhang Bin's safe return somewhat appeased the hearts of the people in the city, most of the Hulu knew that Zhang Bin was Shile's henchman, and he was resourceful, many Hulu even imagined that Zhang Bin was in the city, plus more than 100,000 troops, it may not be impossible to hold Xiangguo.

Cheng Yao was also very happy about Zhang Bin's safe return, after previous temptation, he had already discovered that the situation was far more complicated than he imagined, and he alone could not control the situation.

Zhang Bin did not disappoint Cheng Yao, as soon as he came back, he visited him first, and took out Shi Le's will, clearly expressed his support for the son Shi Hong to ascend to the throne, and agreed with Cheng Ya to assist him.

Seeing that Zhang Bin knew him like this, Cheng Yao immediately introduced him as a confidant and discussed with him how to control the situation in Xiangguo as soon as possible.

Next, Cheng Yao and Zhang Bin joined forces to quickly stabilize the situation and support Shi Hong to succeed him as King Zhao.

During this period, under Zhang Bin's careful arrangement, the number of Han troops in Ran Zhan's hands suddenly expanded to 50,000 people, becoming a force to be reckoned with in Xiangguo.

Originally, some of the Xianghu die-hard loyalists in Xiangguo City were unwilling to surrender to Zhang Bin and Cheng Yao, but would continue to lead the hope of the Qianghu on Kui'an. Who knew that Kui'an, who was pinned on by everyone, took refuge in Jiangdong at this time and became the Xuzhou assassin of Jiangdong.

Kui'an's 'rebellion' disappointed the Xiangguo City Hu, and in desperation, many Hulu had no choice but to choose to be loyal to Shihong, the prince.

However, Shi Hong is just a son without any majesty or status, and the power is all in the hands of Cheng Yao and Zhang Bin.

But by this time, Qianhu had no other choice but to temporarily surrender to Cheng Yao and Zhang Bin.

In late May of the first year of Yongchang, after initially digesting the results of the Battle of Zhuoxian, the Liaodong Army started again.

The army marched south, almost invincible along the way.

However, in a few days, most of Jizhou fell into the hands of Liaodong, and soon the main force of the Liaodong Army was under the city of Xiangguo. (To be continued.) )
