Wei Shuwei and Xu Ruyu met in Yizhou, and at the beginning, Zhang Zhongdao, Xi Daoning, and Wei Shuwei presided over the assassination of Yi Zhouwu. As soon as Xu Ru Yufu appeared, his morale was greatly boosted, as if he was the right person to preside over the assassination.

In the end, the five high schools that participated in the assassination, in addition to Xu Ruyu, Zhang Zhongdao, and Xi Daoning, as well as Shao Haitang and Xu Jingcheng of the Xiangfan Society, Wei Shuwei and Chen Jingzong were not weak, but they were arranged as bait to attract the power of the Yi people.

Although he couldn't be famous in Yizhou, Uncle Wei had a slight resentment in his heart, but it couldn't be denied that whoever arranged the assassination in Yizhou couldn't do better than Xu Ruyu.

The East China Sea was chaotic, the Wei family bore the brunt, and the whole territory of Wanling Mansion was the first to fall, but they could also understand the subtlety of Gongliang Youqin and Xu Bodang's strategy for the East China Sea. Every time Wei Shuwei mentioned it to his eldest brother Wei Boya, he couldn't help but sigh for a long time.

After the East China Sea War, Xu Ruyu gave up Yongyang's power, and Wei Shuwei initially thought that Xu Ruyu was the same as his father Shoujun Xu Xing, ignoring the power and wealth in the world. However, from the confrontation between Shangnan, the matter of "Zhixian Policy", and Xu Ruyu's gradual rise in Qingjiang, until Xu Ruyu regained Yongyang's authority, Wei Shuwei suddenly understood that all this seemed to be in the bureau set up before Xu Ruyu left Yongyang.

and the subsequent Battle of Nanmin and the Battle of Yuejun did not escape the scope of this bureau.

While Xu Ruyu was solving the crisis in the East China Sea, he seemed to have set up another bureau for the southeast, and when the puzzle was gradually opened, Wei Shuwei saw that Xu Ruyu gradually stepped into the position of the overlord of the East China Sea.

In any case, Xu Ruyu can't escape the responsibility of starting the world.

Xu Ruyu used a reputation that began to chaos in the world, but in exchange for thousands of miles of fertile fields in the southeast, and now he is eyeing the East China Sea.

is so eloquent and strategic, for those who are not familiar with him, it feels a little terrifying.

The unreserved surrender of military power is not a familiar practice for the family. Trust Zhang Jidao? Uncle Wei secretly thought in his heart, I'm afraid that it may not be, but Zhang Jidao can maintain the structure of the East China Sea regime more, which is more reassuring.

How could Wei Shuwei mention all these things in public with a general who was about to lose power?

Chen Ang left Wanling, only afraid that he would not step into the world again after Jiangning and Donghai separated the victory and defeat, and perhaps never appeared in front of everyone again. Chen Jingzong is only the son of the second sect, and his status in the Chen clan is inferior to Chen Zifang, just because he is a disciple of Chen Ang and has real power in the army. Chen Jingzong adheres to the orientation of Chen's children, but his political views are inconsistent with Chen Zhengduo, and there are many frictions with Zhang Jidao, so he is a character who should be sacrificed.

When Xu Ruyu was in Wanling, there were two people who were personally taught him the art of military strategy, one was Zhang Zhongdao, the current head of Jiangning Xingyuan and the commander of the Wuwei Army, and Chen Jingzong, who was in front of him. Chen Jingzong is slightly less than Zhang Jidao, Chu Wenchang and others, but the military strategy and military art are round and self-sufficient, and there are very few flaws exposed in the eyes of others, after Xu Ruyu left the East China Sea, Chen Jingzong accumulated merit from the cavalry battalion captain to the general general (equivalent to the general Wei) who commanded more than 20,000 people.

Uncle Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was looking elsewhere, and said, "The commander was promoted, and Uncle Wei was just ordered to invite General Chen over." There was a bit of indifference in his tone, but he thought in his heart: Even if Xu Ruyu is also a half-teacher to Zhang Jidao, it is Zhang Jidao who is the first and most firm to support Chen Yu to eliminate Xu Ruyu's influence in the East China Sea. Otherwise, this battle has not started, and Wanling has already lost half of it. Zhang Jidao's intentions are also the authority of the East China Sea, and such intentions are also exposed by Xu Ruyu's tricks.

Uncle Wei didn't know whether to praise Zhang Jidao's scheming, or praise Xu Ruyu's accurate gaze and clever strategy. There is no need to start a fight, Jiangning just mobilizes the army, and the East China Sea is hiddenly divided. Subsequently, Nanping unexpectedly marched west to Chongqing, which made Jiangning calmly launch the Yuejun War.

All of this seems to be in Xu Ru's foolish calculations, which is inevitably daunting.

Uncle Wei thought about it slightly, a chill ran down his spine, and his scalp tightened slightly.

In an instant, Uncle Wei's face changed several times. Chen Jingzong didn't expect so many thoughts to turn in his mind, thinking of Xu Ruyu's calm but slightly immature face, and said secretly: A few years have passed, and the young man at the beginning is now the male master of the powerful side. Thinking of the choices of Zhang Zhongdao, Xiao Wuye, Fang Su and others, I was confused for a while.

Zhang Jidao intends to have military power, and Chen Jingzong secretly thought: as long as he doesn't fight with him for this military power, he will not embarrass himself, but he can't figure it out.

Chen Ang avoided the desert island, and Chen Zifang and his wife also left Wanling and disappeared, Chen Jingzong guessed that most of them also temporarily avoided overseas. Doesn't this mean that the conflict between Jiangning and Wanling is inevitable?

The sixth drum sounded, and the tamped earth shook slightly.

Uncle Wei coughed lightly and woke up Chen Jingzong, who was in a trance.

"General Chen, the commander summoned, and the drums were a little more anxious."

Zhang Jidao's tent was set up in the middle camp, and the generals of the Pengcheng camp gathered in the tent as early as the fifth drum sounded. Chen Jingzong's gaze swept over everyone, and then fell on the face of Zhang Jidao, who was sitting in a handsome position. Zhang Jidao was in the year of his establishment, with a light cyan robe draped over his dark cyan fine armor, his handsome face looked a little cold, and his eyes were deep under the slightly drooping curtains, but he didn't look at Chen Jingzong, Wei Shuwei and others who had just stepped into the account.

After the tenth drum was finished, the warden officer sang: "After the ten drums, the generals of the battalions responded to the Xianji." ”

Zhang Jidao raised his eyes, looked around to the left and right, coughed lightly, and said slowly: "Jiang Ning's heart is clearly revealed, in recent years, the world has discussed the competition for the position of generals in the East China Sea, what do the generals think in their hearts?" ”

There are many such discussions, but no one has the courage to say them in the account.

Wan Rong said: "The East China Sea is up and down the Huaishui, without Pengcheng, the land is not solid, the enemy in the north can enter the Huaishui along the whirlpool, Rushui and other waterways, threatening the hinterland of the East China Sea, yes, Pengcheng, the East China Sea must be taken." Take Pengcheng, Pengcheng and Suining are sandwiched on both sides of the whirlpool, each other is a horn, blocking the enemy from the north, and the East China Sea is solid. At this time, the elite soldiers of the northern front can come to the south without worry and block the troops of Jiangning. Xu Ru was foolish and ambitious, so he naturally did not want to see such a situation, so he gathered heavy troops to the northern borders of Guangling and Baishi without preparation, threatened the southern border of the East China Sea, and forced the East China Sea to abandon the plan to capture Pengcheng. The commander knew Xu Ruyu's plan and did not move, but the world did not know the commander's heart, so rumors arose. ”

Chen Jingzong said secretly: Before Wan Rong made his career, he was just a street vendor, if he hadn't been prepared in advance, how could he spit out this statement? But he couldn't refute him, in the early years, Xu Ruyu had no ambition to dominate the world, but at this time, he really had the intention of conquering the world. If it weren't for the extreme disdain for Wan Rong in his heart, it might have shaken his mind with his words. Looking at the generals on the left and right, there are those who are moved by the smell, and there are those who are silent.

Uncle Wei said slightly: It is true that there is a dispute between generals and commanders in the East China Sea, but in the face of Jiang Ning's aggressive strength, he will inevitably let go of the current dispute and seek the possibility of cooperation.

Jiang Ning wants to take the East China Sea, who is willing to fall from a prince to a retainer of the Xu family?

If Donghai wants to confront Jiangning, it is bound to capture Pengcheng and stabilize the defense line in the north. As Wan Rong said, Pengcheng and Suining stand on both sides of the whirlpool, which is the gateway to the northern border of the East China Sea. As long as Pengcheng is in the hands of the East China Sea, even if Hulan Iron Horse sets foot on the land of Qingzhou, it will not be able to threaten the East China Sea for a while.

Chen Pre took over the authority of the East China Sea from his brother Chen Ang; Zhang Jidao married Chen Shuyu, the daughter of Chen Ang, and gave birth to a two-year-old son, who had the same chance of becoming the son of the Chen family as the son of Chen Pre.

Chen has been in power for several years, but he has no merit, but Zhang Jidao has expanded half of the county for the East China Sea, and Wanling has already been discussed by Zhang Jidao as the governor of the East China Sea, but I don't know if Zhang Jidao's trip to Wanling has any real gains.

Zhang Jidao's eyes fell on Chen Jingzong's face, his voice was low, and he said, "General Chen, do you have any words to teach?" ”

Chen Jingzong's expression froze, and he said, "Pengcheng, is it imperative?" ”

"It's imperative." Zhang Jidao took out a document from his arms, "To capture Pengcheng, Wanling has already made a decision, and Chen Yu has no objection." ”

Chen Jingzong's face froze, he took the document handed over by Jingwei, and saw "... Capture Pengcheng, wave troops to the south, and strangle Jiang Ning Yenian..."The face is already extremely bad. Sigh: The Chen clan still can't let go of their ambition to divide the place at this time.

Although Chen Pre was the governor of the East China Sea, he was first and foremost the patriarch of the Chen clan, and in the face of the dual pressure from Jiangning outside and within the clan, Chen Pre probably could not hold the generals of the Northern Front accountable for their actions of resisting orders a few months ago. When Zhang Jidao led his troops to the south to help, it was probably the time when Chen Yu abdicated.

Chen Jingzong looked at Zhang Jidao's unmoved face, and said secretly: If Jiang Ning gets such news, will he give up his intention to invade the East China Sea in the north?

Contrary to what Wei Shuwei thought, Chen Jingzong knew in his heart that if it weren't for the fact that Chen was instigated by Zhang Jidao last year to blatantly send troops to besiege Pengcheng, the relationship between Jiangning and Wanling would never have deteriorated to the point where it is today. Although Chen Jingzong couldn't guess Jiang Ning's intentions, he knew that Xu Ruyu's mind was much broader than that of the son in front of him. If the Chen clan falls into the hands of this son, it will never be better than belonging to Jiang Ning.

Chen Jingzong looked up at Zhang Jidao and said: "Jing Zongsheng is a disciple of the Chen family, and the decision of the clan will never dare to be violated. ”

Zhang Jidao's eyes wandered, and he couldn't see the resolute determination on Chen Jingzong's face. Only when he had a choice between the Chen clan and Xu Ruyu, although he had doubts in his heart, it was expected that Chen Jingzong would not openly betray the Chen clan and spread the news.

Zhang Jidao took back the document, put it in his arms, and said: "When you are lax for a long time, I hope that the generals can prepare everything before tomorrow." ”

Uncle Wei's eyes fell on the place where the document was hidden on Zhang Jidao's chest, and secretly observed Chen Jingzong's expression, and said secretly: A document that can make Chen Jingzong submit is by no means as simple as a resolution on the capture of Pengcheng.

After Xu Ruyu returned from Youji to the south, Jiangning's relationship with Donghai deteriorated, and although Donghai did not withdraw its troops from Pengcheng, the offensive slowed down. The East China Sea army built a fortress on the slope south of Pengcheng, and for several months, built two small cities, sandwiched Pengcheng, and coordinated with Suining on the east bank of the whirlpool.

Half a month after the Xijing Rebellion, Zhang Jidao suddenly urged the Pengcheng camp to launch a fierce offensive against Pengcheng. On October 13, tens of thousands of male soldiers stationed in the fortress of Donghai Tun broke out of the camp and pressed towards Pengcheng. Standing at the head of the city, looking at the endless array of the East China Sea, the essence in his eyes bloomed. The city wall that stretched out to the left and right was already in tatters, and Esther finally sighed secretly with his hand on the sword at his waist, and a trace of worry jumped uncontrollably.

The heavy sound of the drum shook the heavens and the earth, and the light clouds swept by, changing rapidly, as if it indicated the unpredictable fate of Pengcheng.

The 20,000 battalion troops led by Chen Jingzong were in the first attack sequence, and they were arrayed in the south of Pengcheng, with crossbow carts, horse-rejection carts, partial box carts, and cave house carts in front of the array, preventing troops from being sent out in the city to gain formation. Waiting for the front to be rectified, the bulky ladder trucks, nest cars, and building cars slowly pushed from the gap between the lines to the front. The engineers built a high platform in front of the array to build a fortress, and the stone-throwing crossbow was placed on the high platform behind the fortress, and the Qingzhou soldiers on the city wall were suppressed with stone bullets.

In recent years, the East China Sea has besieged Pengcheng, and the surrounding city walls have been broken by the throwing crossbows.

Yihanwen asked Yishide to sit in Pengcheng, and sent 30,000 elite troops to garrison, although Donghai had several times the elite soldiers, but failed to capture Pengcheng. Zhang Jidao did not dare to lose too many troops under Pengcheng, and the offensive was not tragic, so he often sent elite troops to bypass Pengcheng and loot the city in the north of Qingzhou, so as to maintain the morale of the Pengcheng camp. For more than a year, although the elite soldiers of the East China Sea failed to attack Pengcheng, they turned the northern border of Qingzhou into scorched earth.

Chen Jingzong looked up at a pile of withered grass hanging down from the crack in the city wall, lifeless, untied the sword at his waist, ordered left and right, and said: "When I go to the front, I will order the siege of the city." With that, he put his sword in front of him and stepped forward.

When the commander behind him heard this, he was surprised and asked: "The general is not in the middle of the order, what is the reason for going to the front?" ”

Chen Jingzong did not reply, and said: "War is a fierce beast, devouring human flesh and blood. As a general, he only knows how to drive others to feed the beasts, but he himself lives in peace and reaps fame. The commander was slightly stunned, puzzled by his meaning, only to feel that there was endless desolation in his words, and he secretly felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong, and he looked at Chen Jingzong in a daze, and walked to the front, revealing half of the armor, revealing his muscles and knotted arms, untying his bun, biting his long hair, and letting out a low roar in his throat with the beating drums.

Zhang Jidao was surprised, looked at each other, couldn't guess Chen Jingzong's meaning for a while, and hurriedly stepped forward with the left and right, but saw that with the bloody drums, thousands of elite soldiers in the East China Sea were climbing along the ladder to the towering Pengcheng, like a swarm of ants attached to the city wall, and they couldn't see that one person was Chen Jingzong.

Zhang Jidao was shocked, looked around and asked, "Has anyone ever seen that he has the will to die?" ”
