Chapter 132: The Turmoil of the He Clan (14)

Most of the generals here are the children of the He clan, and after all, they still don't want to fight their own families.

He Shihu has been cultivating obscurity over the years, secretly accumulating strength, strong soldiers and horses, if the two sides really work hard, the final victorious side is also a miserable victory. After this internal friction, the strength of the He clan will inevitably be greatly damaged, and they will be reduced to the second-class wealthy clan in Liaodong, and they will be suppressed by the Huang clan for a long time in the future.

No one in the He clan wants to be pressed by the Huang clan and can't hold their heads up, and the tragic situation after the decline of the clan's strength, the Wu clan is an example.

He Fangxiong is competitive and has never taken Huang Yongtao in his eyes. The Huang family is still a first-class wealthy family in Liaodong in Huang Yongtao's generation, and the most critical reason is that the Huang family's fiefdom is rich, the Huang family has a good foundation, and the ancestors left their roots, as long as they are not too losers, it is not a problem to maintain the status of the first-class wealthy family in Liaodong.

The He people are different, the He fiefdom covers the three states of Fujin is the most barren of the four tribes, and the strength of the He people is the strength of the family heads of the past dynasties who have worked hard from blood and fire. None of He Fangxiong and the He generals present here would want to watch the He people weaken and be bullied.

"My subordinates will go to the Jinzhou Army barracks tomorrow to end this battle without a fight, and it is best to solve it by force when it is absolutely necessary."

He Mingye still hopes that this matter can be resolved peacefully.

"It is inevitable that the peace talks will have to negotiate the conditions with He Shibao, He Shibao is a wolf, this time he gambled his life regardless of the crime of killing his father, and it is clear that he is coming for the position of the head of the family, and if he does not win the position of the head of the family, He Shibao will not give up."

He Zhichao, the general of the Fuzhou battalion, objected to talking about conditions with He Shibao, and what He Zhichao said was not unreasonable, even if it was a negotiation of conditions, at present, most of the troops that could be mobilized in He Fangxiong's hands were contained in Gaizhou to prevent foreign enemies, and He Shibao's Jinzhou army was better than Fuzhou in terms of strength. It is impossible for He Shibao to back down, and in He Zhichao's opinion, it is better to fight to the death with He Shibao to dispel He Shibao's ambition to usurp the position of head of the family.

"According to the subordinates, it is still a war, and the ambition to fight to the death until He Shibao dies and sits as the head of the family!"

He Zhichao tried his best to fight the main battle, and the generals present also supported He Zhichao's view of the main battle, after all, the main battle seemed to have more backbone.

"He Shibao father and son assassinated the head of the family, according to the clan law, and his crime should be punished!" He Fangxiong's 100 personal guards Zhou Mu gritted his teeth hatefully and said, "My subordinates are willing to be the vanguard and capture He Shihu alive!" ”

"Alright." He Fangxiong interrupted Zhou Shi's words, "Now is not the time to be rash, what Ming Ye said makes sense, and it is best to use the tongue instead of the sword to solve the problem without using the sword." ”

He Fangxiong still agrees with He Mingye's point of view, and is not very supportive of war, after all, it is not a very glorious thing for the war of internal friction to spread.

The outcome of the battle between the Fuzhou soldiers and the Jinzhou soldiers is not difficult to predict, the difference in strength between the two is not too big, and they really have to fight to the death, even if the victorious side wins, it will win very badly, and in the end, both defeats will benefit the Huang and Liao army fishermen, which is the ending that He Fangxiong does not want to see.

"Lion, what do you think?" He Fangxiong turned his head sideways to look at He Shilong.

He Shilong sat next to He Fangxiong, and the middle and senior generals of Fuzhou gathered in the Duchy of Wu'an to discuss matters. Among them, there is a special regard, and this era of strict hierarchy pays attention to the noble and the lowly. He Fangxiong sat in the upper left position, according to the tradition of Da Zhao to respect the left, He Fangxiong's status was the highest among all the people here. He Shilong sat in the upper right position, and his status was only second only to He Fangxiong.

However, it is such a person who sits in the second position, and he has not said a word from beginning to end, and he has shown his attitude, which is extremely abnormal in the discussion situation.

"It's up to my father to decide." He Shilong sat in his position, barely squeezed out a smile, and bowed slightly to answer He Fangxiong's question.

He Shilong's answer was the same as not answering, He Shilong's cold attitude made He Fangxiong's heart unhappy, He Fangxiong sank his face and stared at He Shilong's eyes: "You have to remember that your father doesn't have much time, and the things you should carry will naturally have to be carried by you in the end, and you can't hide." ”

He Shilong avoided He Fangxiong's burning eyes and was silent and stopped talking.

He Shilong didn't speak, and the scene was somewhat embarrassing. He Mingye raised his fist to his mouth, pretended to cough, and coughed twice to remind He Shilong to speak. He Shilong was like a deaf person, pretending not to hear He Mingye's hinted cough.

The scene fell into embarrassment, and the generals present knew that He Shilong was not interested in clan affairs, so they all lowered their heads, pretending not to hear He Fangxiong's words to He Shilong, so as to alleviate this embarrassing situation.

He Fangxiong sneered, and finally took his eyes off He Shilong, as soon as He Fangxiong's gaze was removed, He Shilong had a sense of relief.

"Nanxinkou, all the soldiers of Pangu Fort have withdrawn back, those two military forts can't stop He Shibao's Jinzhou army, and it makes no sense to let the soldiers stay in the lonely fort to die." He Fangxiong made a decision, "Mingye, you go and talk to He Shibao, as long as it does not involve the conditions of the inheritance of the head of the family, you can discuss it in the long run." ”

The former No. 1 general in Liaodong finally showed his weak side.

He Fangxiong's weak decision was incompatible with his former hard-line style, and He Zhichao couldn't stand it and stood up to try to dissuade He Fangxiong.

"The head of the family, is it too weak to give up Nanxinkou and Pangu Fort, and my subordinates are only afraid that He Shibao will gain an inch."

"Stand down!" He Fangxiong reprimanded He Zhichao and said, "Do I need you to make irresponsible remarks about the decision I made?" I've got my own calculations. That's all for today. ”

At the end of the discussion, the Fuzhou generals in the lobby dispersed one after another.

Although He Mingye strongly advocated a peaceful solution to the problem of He Shibao and the leopard, He Mingye still did not approve of He Fangxiong's practice of withdrawing the defenders of Nanxinkou and Pangubao back to the state. He Zhichao said that it was right, the retreat of the defenders of Nanxinkou and Pangubao was tantamount to showing weakness to He Shibao. With He Lion Leopard's ambition, He Lion and Leopard will not only have no intention of peace talks when he sees He Fangxiong's weakness, but will gain an inch and advance step by step.

"Family master, isn't it a little inappropriate to withdraw the defenders of Nanxinkou and Pangu Fort, I'm afraid that even if the defenders of these two military forts are all withdrawn, He Shibao will not stop the army, but will only gain an inch!" He Mingye said.

"Huh." He Fangxiong smiled, "He Shibao will never back down on the issue of the head of the family, this child's habits The old man understands that he will never give up if he is not the head of the family, and the peace talks will be fruitless." ”

"In that case, why does the head of the family do anything more?" He Mingye was confused, didn't understand what He Fangxiong meant, and asked.

"You're going to have to go through it anyway." He Fangxiong sighed lightly, "I'll organize troops to deploy along the Shahe River now, block the back of the Jinzhou army, and if you can't talk about it, you will come back immediately." (To be continued.) )
