Probably made up his mind, Luo Tianze's tone was not good, and he made it clear that he wanted to kill or chop whatever he wanted.

Chen Wu, who wanted to surrender him, was not angry, and deliberately made a look of surprise and asked: "In the general's opinion, the brigade commander is not confused at most, and it is a good year, why do you want to die?" ”

This knowingly asked Luo Tianze snorted and said coldly: "The general of the defeated army, the hand of life and death." If you don't kill me, will you let me go back? ”

Probably because he hadn't drunk water since the previous battle, and because he was anxious after the defeat of the battle, Luo Tianze's voice was very hoarse, and his lips were chapped.

"The brigade commander is wrong to say."

Chen Wu motioned to the guards to serve him tea, and said, "Why does Ben General have to kill you?" ”

Luo Tianze stretched out his hand and was about to drink the tea, he was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and quickly came back to his senses, and smiled disdainfully: "I just said why are you so kind, it turns out that you want to surrender...... I saved that heart. He really didn't want to die, but he never wanted to surrender to a group of thieves, so he rejected him before Chen Wu could speak.

"Why doesn't the brigade commander listen to what General Ben has to say? The so-called good birds choose trees to perch, and the brigade commander thinks, how is the shape of the eye empire? ”

Luo Tianze didn't think about it, and said casually: "Tiantaiping, Heqing Haiyan!" ”

Chen Wu shook his head and pointed at himself: "If this is the case, where did the Taiping army of this general come from?" In the three counties of Tianshui, Baling, and Longxi in the southwest, the Wudou Midao rebellion is in full swing, what is it? Outside the empire, the Tile Thorn nomads in the north, the Lena Dynasty in the north, and the Kingdom of Oman on the south side of Tiannan are eyeing the Central Plains. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is internal and external troubles, where did Tiantaiping come from? ”

Luo Tianze was speechless by Chen Wu in front of him, and was silent for a while, so he could only turn around and say: "A thief like you, even if it is rampant for a while, when the empire frees up its hands, it can be destroyed." With the wisdom of today's saints, if there are no internal worries, the foreign vassal kingdoms with a little wolf ambition outside can be pacified sooner or later, and it is difficult to become a climate! ”

"Ben doesn't think so."

Before his words fell, Chen Wu immediately retorted: "The battle in the northwest has just ended, and our Taiping army and the five buckets of rice in the southwest have taken action one after another. Although the empire immediately sent troops to exterminate it, it was already exhausted. Now, the kingdom of Oman to the south is ready to move, and it may mobilize a large army to the north at any time. In the case where most of the defenders of Daqingguan are wiped out, if Ben will pretend to be an official army to seize Daqingguan, cut off the connection between the empire and Songjiang Tiannan, and then cooperate with the Kingdom of Oman, Nan will attack Nanfeng Fortress from behind......"

The South Peak Fortress stretches for more than a dozen miles and is a huge defense system, but the original purpose of the design was to reads();. Almost all of the defenses were directed against the side of the Kingdom of Oman. If Chen Wu's army sneaked up from behind, the defense of Nanfeng Fortress would not be much stronger than that of an ordinary county town.

Especially, if the timing is right, when the Kingdom of Oman is in a decisive battle with the Tiannan Army......

Although Luo Tianze looked down on Chen Wu on his lips, he knew very well in his heart that most of the Taiping army could win the battle in the previous World War because of its own hard power. Its overall military strength is at least comparable to that of a garrison brigade in Songjiang County. Such a force, when used properly, can definitely play a decisive role!

If the Tiannan Army is defeated, the Kingdom of Oman will cross the Nanfeng Fortress and go north, and enter Songjiang County, Tiannan County......

That consequence, Luo Tianze couldn't imagine it!

If the shape around the empire was put a hundred years ago, Luo Tianze would not be worried at all. The empire can calmly dispatch the city guard legion and cooperate with the local legions of Qinghe County to fight the Oman kingdom back. But now, the external form of the empire, which is attacked from many sides, is very passive, and I am afraid that it really can't draw so much strength.

It was difficult for him to control his feelings, and he couldn't help but reprimand: "As my Qianyuan man, I actually colluded with foreign vassal countries, aren't you afraid of leaving a stench for ten thousand years!" ”

In all dynasties, there are almost no people who dare to do this, and anyone is an enemy of heaven!

"Don't be angry, brigade commander." Chen Wu smiled faintly and said, "Such a betrayal of the ancestors and abandonment of the sect will naturally not be done, but it is just a possibility to tell you that the situation of the Qianyuan Empire is really not as stable as you think." As long as Ben thought about it, the great empire might have to change dynasties. ”

"Dreaming!"

Luo Tianze scolded, thought about it and said: "In today's battle, you are nothing more than taking advantage of the surprise. I don't know how you led your troops through the Bayan Mountains, but one thing I know is that there is no way to hide the news of this battle, and it will spread in a few days. General Leji of the Tiannan Army will not give you a chance to collude with the Kingdom of Oman to threaten the Nanfeng Fortress from behind. At that time, he will be the first to send a large army to destroy you in Songjiang! ”

"He can't do it."

Chen Wu propped his hands on the case and asserted firmly: "Nanfeng Fortress is in the southernmost part of Tiannan County, and the Daqingguan of Yuyang Mansion is in the north of Songjiang County, and there are two counties in between. When the news arrives, it will take almost a month to send a large army over, not counting the time to return after attacking and winning. As long as the general hides in the Daqing Pass, how many people will he send to attack? There are fewer factions, and there will be a way to deal with it. There are too many factions, and Saladin is very ambitious, and he will never let go of this opportunity. Of course, Leji can order people to block the news, it is not difficult to block the news for three or five days, and it can be reluctant for a week or two, but can it be blocked for a month or two or even longer? ”

The black-clothed guards of the Oman Kingdom are still very powerful in Tiannan County, and they can't be found by such a big movement, and those black-clothed guards can all die.

was refuted by Chen Wu one after another, Luo Tianze's face turned blue and white for a while, and finally reluctantly said: "Then you also need to be able to beat Daqingguan!" 1,500 defenders, plus Daqing Pass Tianxiong Pass, you 5,000 or 6,000 people all died in Daqing Pass, and you don't want to break through! ”

"If it's a strong attack, Ben will feel the same way. So—"

Chen Wu picked up the flower tea sent by the guards, took a few sips to moisten his throat, and said: "As long as the brigade commander cooperates and helps to cheat the switch card, he will be able to enter Daqing Pass without much effort." The brigade commander has made such a great contribution, and the previous matter will not only not be investigated, but will also be reused. The bright future is definitely brighter than in the emperor*. One thought of death, one thought of wealth and fame, and I hope that the brigade commander will think twice! ”

Luo Tianze was tempted by reads();!

After Chen Wu analyzed the situation in the empire, he clearly realized that it was possible for Chen Wu to monopolize Songjiang County. As long as Daqing is in hand, the ambitions of the Omani Kingdom in the south will not change, and it is certain that the center will no longer persecute Chen Wu, for fear that Chen Wu will be forced to take refuge in the Oman Kingdom. In this way, even if it can't be a big thing, at least it can dominate a place. After Chen Wu moved out of Chen Yunfeng, the guard of the eldest son of the Lin family, and hinted that the Lin family also had support, Luo Tianze hesitated even more.

For a moment, Chen Wu almost thought that he had succeeded, after all, Luo Tianze didn't seem to be the kind of person who was willing to sacrifice his life for righteousness. But unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, Luo Tianze struggled for a long time, and finally refused.

The other party didn't even shy away from suing Chen Wu for the reason.

First, I don't want to be ashamed of the genus left behind in Daqingguan, and cause them to die; Second, his hometown is in Yuanshan County, and a daughter married far away to Wuhu, which is the closest place to Zhongzhou.

Of course, in addition to these two points, there must be factors that are not optimistic about the Taiping Army. No matter what, the empire is still the strongest empire in the Eastern Continent right now!

This insistence made Chen Wu faintly admired and very angry at the same time.

The other generals who had previously surrendered to the empire, such as Mo Guohao, or He Shixiang, who took the initiative to take refuge, can be called a matter of course. Unexpectedly, the situation of the Taiping Army today is much better than at that time, but it failed to succeed in the face of Luo Tianze. This is undoubtedly another small setback for Chen Wu.

"The brigade commander's decision, Ben will admire, I just hope you don't regret it."

Since the other party insisted on refusing to take refuge, there was no need for Chen Wu to keep him anymore. There are so many officers and soldiers who have been captured, and there must be some among them who are willing to surrender. Moreover, even if it is the dead Luo Tianze, it is equally useful to the current Taiping Army.

Waving his hand and ordering someone to take Luo Tianze into custody, Chen Wu was stunned for a while, and immediately summoned all the generals and reached a series of orders.

………

Daqingguan!

This Qianyuan Empire's Xiongguan was built on a small section of mountains extending eastward from the end of the Bayan Mountains in the north-south direction, flanked by uninhabited hills, and with the help of the uplifted terrain in the middle, a city wall of 14 meters high was built. Because the defense of the north and south walls is very complete, and the barracks, armories, and deep wells between the city walls are all available, and this place can be regarded as an independent castle.

When it was first built, it could theoretically accommodate up to 8,000 soldiers!

With such a strong pass, with 8,000 defenders, even if the attackers are willing to pay five times the price, they may not be able to attack, and it will take an extremely long time.

On weekdays, only 4,000 officers and troops were stationed in the station, which was not bad. After Luo Tianze received a call for help from Yuyang Mansion and personally led 2,600 people away, the majestic Daqing Pass was suddenly deserted. Fortunately, the caravans that regularly travel between Songjiang and Hokkaido add a lot of life to the area. Those large quantities of cotton raw silk rice, there are often hundreds or thousands of people, and every time they can make Daqingguan lively for half a day.

Because it is only open once a day at noon, the other time the cable suspension bridge is pulled up, and passers-by or traveling merchants who have not caught up can only rest near the gate. It's okay to come early, and if you come late, you even have to spend the night outside. Over time, a small bazaar has even formed in the open space of a mile outside Daqing Pass, with restaurants, hotels, prostitutes/prostitutes, casinos, and so on.

If it weren't for Chen Wu's crossing, such a peaceful period would have lasted for a few years. However, almost ten days after Luo Tianze's army left the south of Daqing Pass, the defenders who were routinely patrolling above Daqing Pass saw a large number of figures approaching in the distance.
