Chapter 594: Dilemma

"I regret not being at the beginning!" Lying on his back, Zeng Qingfeng, who was curled up on the bed, had lost most of his gray hair, and his scalp was already faintly visible, and every time he said a word, he would cough violently a few times. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The girl who served had been sent out, Zeng Yifan personally held the spittoon and served his father, and when he saw the thick phlegm mixed with blood, Zeng Yifan's brows wrinkled even tighter.

"I regret not being at the beginning!" Zeng Qingfeng looked at the top of the tent with blank eyes, if he didn't listen to Yuan Fang's bewitchment, and wholeheartedly united with Li Qing to suppress the Lu family, even if Li Qing had bad intentions, he would be able to mix one side of the tent under Li Qing's tent, instead of being in a dilemma like now.

The bright prospect depicted by Yuan Fang With Li Qing's comeback, the Dingzhou army counterattacked, defeating the Luoyang army that invaded Yizhou in one fell swoop and was wiped out, what made the Zeng family even more terrifying was that Li Qing did not forget them here while counterattacking the Central Plains, Chen Zeyue and Tang Hu's troops in Baimadu still firmly controlled the Baima Village, and the Zeng army, which had been repeatedly attacked, had completely lost the confidence to attack, and in Weizhou, although Tian Feng's Changsheng division transferred away the Changsheng Camp Whirlwind Battalion, but transferred a large number of foot soldiers, the total strength rose instead, and as Lu Fengchun retreated, It has firmly controlled Weizhou, and has recently sent troops to carry out exploratory attacks many times.

And these are still secondary, what makes Zeng Qingfeng even more frightened is the sailor of the Dingzhou army, seeing that the weather is warm day by day, once the Tuojiang River is frozen, the powerful sailor of Dingzhou will inevitably go upstream, how is the water village located at the mouth of the Tuojiang River is the opponent of the Dingzhou Navy Division, if the opponent breaks through the water village, the land of Liaoshen is like a big girl with a thin front, and the last layer of fig leaf is rudely torn off, ** naked in front of the opponent, the other party can follow the Tuojiang River, Feel free to hit wherever they want to hit. In front of the Dingzhou Naval Division, Liaoshen was almost undefended.

"Dad, since you've done it, don't regret it!" Zeng Yifan opened his eyes, "My Zeng clan still has the land of three states, and there are hundreds of thousands of war-torn troops, which are not so easy to be wiped out, but my father is relieved to recuperate, and the child will inevitably let the Zeng clan get up again from the ruins." ”

Zeng Qingfeng coughed a few times, and a smile appeared on his face, "It's good that my son has this heart, but the current situation is like this, what can I do, in Sanzhou, there are many clear-eyed people, and I can see my Zeng's predicament, but I'm afraid that they are already paying attention, if people's hearts go, big things can't be done!" ”

"Children must be strictly guarded against, but if there is such a thing and such a person, the child will not let any of them go!" Zeng Yifan said loudly.

"Killing, sometimes it won't solve the problem, but it will intensify the contradiction even more, child, it's been a long time since Zhongzi arrived in Liaozhou, how are you talking?" Zeng Qingfeng shook his head.

"Dad, that bell period is too much!" Zeng Yifan stood up angrily, "What we want is unity, what King Ning wants is actually co-optation, when we are, are we dying people who have no way out, my Zeng clan has never fallen into this position!" ”

Looking at his indignant son, Zeng Qingfeng's face flushed, this appearance is similar to that of his youth! Calling his hands, he said, "Come, sit down beside me!" ”

Zeng Yifan sat on the edge of the bed with his body leaning over, Zeng Qingfeng held his son's hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "Whether it's a union or an incorporation, Yifan, this is just an external name, the important thing is inside, what you get!" The reason why King Ning made such an excessive request was because he saw that we were cornered, and he did not mention the threat of Li Qing from outside, and the Lu family, who was now stationed in Shunzhou, made us restless. I'm afraid that now the Lu family has agreed to Zhong Ziqi's solicitation! ”

"Zhong Ziqi came at this time, whether it was intimidation or deception, it was because they saw our weakness and knew that we had something to ask for him, but on the contrary, why didn't they ask for us! We are not Lu Fengchun who is a frustrated dog, we still have a large number of supporters in the land of Liaoshen, King Ning cooperated perfectly with Li Qing this time, it seems that Li Qing has promised to sell us to King Ning! Zeng Qingfeng laughed.

Zeng Yifan's face was flushed, and his chest fell together, although he knew that his father was telling the truth, but he still couldn't help but be excited.

"But this time is also that time, are we in a hurry now, yes, we are indeed in a hurry, but what about King Ning, he is not in a hurry? He is more anxious than us, if Li Qing takes Qinzhou, frees his hand, turns around, and the army sweeps down, we, Lu Fengchun, will not be able to run away, but Ning Wang Ke will also be empty. Without us, without the land of Liaoshun and Shen Sanzhou, in the next battle for hegemony, King Ning will definitely be the first to suffer! ”

"So, no matter what Zhong Ziqi says, let's not be in a hurry, because it's them who should be in a hurry, right, son?" Zeng Qingfeng looked at his son.

Zeng Yifan suddenly realized, Jiang is really still old, he only sees the crisis of Liaoshen now, but ignores the crisis of King Ning, if Li Qing repents, the army swept down and annexed himself, then the next King Ning will not be able to survive on his own.

"Drag, then we'll drag it down!" Zeng Yifan said excitedly, "Until they have to agree to our conditions!" ”

"Enough is enough!" Zeng Qingfeng shook his head, "You can't anger King Ning, if you anger him, he may mobilize a large army and come straight to attack, because he must get the land of these three states to recuperate, and I am sure that Lu Fengchun, who lives in Shunzhou, will definitely cooperate with him, then we will die indefinitely!" ”

"Neither left, nor right, Dad, what are you going to do?" Zeng Yifan was a little anxious.

"Tell Zhong Ziqi that we can be vassals to King Ning, and he can also send officials to Liaoshen to govern the people's livelihood, but he must not interfere in Zeng's army. Zeng's army listens to the tune and doesn't listen to the announcement! In the troubled times, as long as the army is still in our hands, our Zeng clan has the hope of rising again. ”

"Secondly, it is a prerequisite to require the naval division of the Southern Army to be stationed at the port of Anshun, as long as the naval division of the Southern Army arrives, it will be able to contain Li Qing's naval division."

"Third, I have repaired a letter to Lu Fengchun, Shunzhou, we have given it to him!" Zeng Qingfeng said so much in one breath, his face turned from red to white, and his breath was a little uneven.

"Dad, why did you give Shunzhou to Lu Fengchun?"

"Shunzhou has become Lu Fengchun's territory, will he still listen to King Ning's words like that? Son, in the days to come, you must firmly maintain the alliance with Lu Fengchun, Lu Fengchun will not understand this truth, and he is facing the threat of Dingzhou Tianfeng, and only by uniting us can we resist the opponent, and only by uniting our two families can we maintain a little hope of revival for the two families, otherwise, sooner or later, we will be annexed by Li Qing or King Ning! For the continuation of the family, what is a mere Shunzhou, people survive, people die, there is nothing! ”

"I get it, Dad!" Zeng Yifan said with some sadness and indignation.

"Unite King Ning, and then communicate with Luoyang secretly, treat Dingzhou, you have to be tough to resist, this is the strategy I finally came up with, King Ning is weak, rely on him, there will be no danger of being swallowed in a short time, resist Li Qing, you can get benefits from Luoyang, if my expectations are good, in the future, it must be Li Qing and Luoyang to make the final battle, King Ning will be killed by the two of them after all!"

"The children remember!"

"Go, go and tell Zhong Ziqi about these conditions, I believe he can't sit still anymore, the battle of Qinzhou won't last long!" After Zeng Qingfeng said this, he was really tired to the extreme, and fell asleep again in a groggy state, looking at his father on the sickbed, Zeng Yifan's eyes couldn't help showing a deep sadness, the matter has come to this, what can the husband say1

As Zeng Qingfeng expected, the negotiations between Zeng, Lü, and Ning Wang finally reached an agreement after Zeng Yifan put forward new conditions, and Zeng's family was now under the command of King Ning, and King Ning would send officials to govern the three states of Liao, Shen and Shun, while Zeng's army was still self-contained, and King Ning sent Dengzhou Naval Division to garrison Anshun Port, and sent 10,000 troops to garrison Shunzhou to help Lü and Zeng resist Li Qing's possible invasion.

Zhong Ziqi was satisfied, and the expected goal of the first step had been successfully achieved, as for the next, Zhong Ziqi did not think that Zeng Yifan, who was still a little young and immature, could not resist the calculation of the scheming King Ning.

Under the city of Qinzhou, there has been a fierce battle for seven or eight days, both sides have killed red eyes, the city is up and down, and there are many corpses, although he feels sorry for the loss of the soldiers, but Li Qing gritted his teeth, this battle must be fought, and the soldiers must have a clear understanding of attacking the fortified city.

These days, the soldiers have experienced too much, and the siege methods that can be thought of have been used one by one, but Guo Zhen, who defended the city, is also a master in this area, and he has been guarding it without leakage, and in seven or eight days, Li Qing's army has suffered nearly thousands of casualties under the city of Qinzhou, but the best result is only to kill the city, barely occupying a few isolated bridgeheads, but it can't last long, and it was annihilated one by one.

The generals under Li Qing were extremely angry, if the fierce gaze could also attack the city, presumably Qinzhou City had been attacked.

Another wave of Dingzhou troops rushed up, for several days, the ice of the moat was trampled by thousands of people, coupled with the attack of stone bullets, it was already full of holes, and in some places, it had been broken, revealing the deep water below.

The Dingzhou soldiers went forward and followed the attack so that Guo Cheng could not bear it, 30,000 soldiers of the right battalion of the Beijing Division, and now they have lost more than 10,000, and the trebuchet in the city is also in the battle of these days, and the Dingzhou trebuchet that is pushed closer is destroyed at a certain point, and there is not much left of the eight-ox crossbow, unlike Li Qing who carried the craftsman battalion with the army, in the city of Qinzhou, these heavy weapons at the moment, but if one is destroyed, one is less.

"Open the secret door and pour the fire oil!" Guo Zhen commanded.

The Dingzhou soldiers who were crossing the moat suddenly found that a layer of black viscous liquid gushed out of the moat from there, and smelled the pungent smell, and the Dingzhou officers were shocked, "Retreat, retreat!" ”

Before the words fell, countless rockets were fired in unison on the city, and on the moat, a fire burst into the sky, and countless Dingzhou soldiers screamed and were on fire.

The already precarious moat was burned by this fire, the ice finally collapsed, and it was thousands of Dingzhou soldiers who sank into the water along with the ice!

"***!" Jiang Kui jumped to his feet and scolded, Li Qing silently stared at Qinzhou City in the distance, Huo Di flicked his sleeves, "Collect the troops!" ”
