Outside the new Chang'an City, 60,000 rhino horn troops are mixed in foot and cavalry, located on the left wing, 50,000 silent annihilation troops are located on the right wing with a large number of strange-shaped siege equipment, and more than 13,000 armor black flag troops stand in the center, which is the whole picture of Wuling's pro-army.

The whole army formation is tightly sealed, the military appearance is neat and solemn, thousands of flying military flags are blown by the wind and hunting, although the army has not moved a step, but it has been murderous, as if as long as an order, the city in front of it can be stepped on the ground.

In front of the army, more than a dozen generals of the Southern Dynasty who were most trusted by King Wuling stood in a row, and in the middle was the commander of the Chinese army in this war, Zhong Qingyuan, who was like an iron giant.

"Generals, please wait a moment, the head of the family will soon lead the entire city of scholars to come to dedicate the city!"

Cui Lingwen stood in front of the generals, leaned over, and said flatteringly.

Zhong Qingyuan didn't seem to hear his words, and said to the generals around him: "If you don't open the door again after a while, the Silent Annihilation Army will directly collapse the city wall and capture this city!" ”

Cui Lingwen was shocked when he heard this: "General, the Cui family and the general have no two intentions in cooperating, right now my Cui family is controlling the situation in the city, if they attack the city at this time, it will be dangerous!" ”

Zhong Qingyuan jumped immediately, closed his eyes and recuperated, his body more than two meters tall stood majestically, deaf to Cui Lingwen's words, obviously no matter what he said, Zhong Qingyuan would not hesitate to send troops to attack the city when the time came.

Cui Lingwen was immediately furious when he received such a bird anger, but now that he was under the eaves, even if he was uncomfortable, he had to grit his teeth and temporarily suppress the anger in his heart.

When Lu Dongqing, who was exquisite, saw his appearance, he smiled lightly: "Cui Gongzi doesn't have to worry, anything can happen on the battlefield, although the Cui family covers the sky with one hand in Xichuan, but the incident will not be smooth sailing, if there is really any accident, the army can also relieve the siege for the Cui family, right?" ”

Hearing him say this, Cui Lingwen felt a little better in his heart, but he was still angry, and said coldly: "I hope the general will remember that the Cui family is not surrendering to the Southern Dynasty, but cooperating with the general, if there is no Cui family, it may be even more difficult for the general to destroy the Northern Wei Dynasty in one fell swoop!" ”

He said this to Zhong Qingyuan, but Zhong Qingyuan didn't even raise his eyelids, but Lu Dongqing on the side nodded with a smile.

"Exactly, exactly, Cui Gongzi, please rest assured, my Southern Dynasty Jian'er is naturally extremely trustworthy, as long as the Cui family can act according to the agreement, the prince and General Zhong will naturally not treat the Cui family badly."

"Humph!"

Seeing Lu Dongqing's repeated assurances, Cui Lingwen snorted coldly, and finally closed his mouth in a sneer.

But he didn't seem to notice that the generals of the Southern Dynasty around him hadn't looked at him at all, and even when he heard Lu Dongqing's words, Zhong Qingyuan raised his eyelids and looked at him in surprise, as if asking why he was so low.

However, as soon as he met Lu Dongqing's eyes, Zhong Qingyuan saw a thick ridicule and mockery in his eyes, and immediately made up his mind, and continued to close his eyes to recuperate, but secretly said in his heart: "He has said all the good things, this guy is really insidious and ......."

Suddenly, there was a low muffled sound from the lonely New Chang'an, and the closed city gate finally opened, and the iron door latch with the thickness of the arm rubbed against the buckle, making a squeaky sound, as if a giant beast was whimpering and wagging its tail and begging for mercy.

A crowd of people gradually emerged from the open door, and the military and political dignitaries at all levels in Xichuan, the representatives of the four major families, and almost all the figures with heads and faces were impressively listed.

And standing at the forefront were Lu Linshan, the political envoy of Xichuan, and Cui Huanchen, the head of the Cui family.

Lu Linshan was dressed in an official robe, his face was pale, and he stood motionless in front of the crowd, like a puppet.

Although Cui Huanchen beside him was over ninety years old, his face was full of red light, and he took a deep breath with the support of several Cui juniors, revealing a pleasant look, as if from this moment on, the air was sweet.

"Lord Lu, let's go, since you have already chosen another path, you don't have to be so secretive."

Cui Huanchen turned his head and said to Lu Linshan with a smile.

Seeing that Lu Linshan still didn't react, he glanced at the people behind him who looked apprehensive but eager to try, and continued: "You see, the old man also gave you this most important dedication to the city for the sake of the Cui Lu family for more than a thousand years. ”

"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say, you want the Lu family to bear the infamy of rebelling and offering the city, so that my Lu family has no way out, so I can only follow you to rebel, be a bitch, and set up a memorial arch, your Cui family is really a good plan."

Lu Linshan glanced at Cui Huanchen fiercely and sneered coldly.

He said it so ugly, several Cui family juniors were immediately furious, but Cui Huanchen waved his hand and said: "Whatever you think, if you really don't want to be a bitch, turn around and leave now, and the old man will never stop you." ”

"You!"

Lu Linshan gritted his teeth and looked at Cui Huanchen hatefully, but Cui Huanchen did not retreat and glared back at him.

"Don't waste time, will you sacrifice this city or not?"

Several juniors of the Cui family roared coldly, but Cui Huanchen just looked at him playfully.

Lu Linshan was shocked, gritted his teeth and withdrew his gaze, and finally took a step towards the Southern Dynasty army a hundred zhang away.

The army of the Southern Dynasties was like a towering mountain, motionless, but the suffocating pressure was like an invisible tsunami, wave after wave.

In just a few hundred zhang, in Lu Linshan's eyes, it is like a yellow spring for thousands of miles, every step is like pulling a bone out of his body, and his body and mind are in severe pain.

However, no matter how difficult the road is, it still has to be completed, and after a short time, Lu Linshan has already led a group of people to the front of the Southern Dynasty formation, and several fierce soldiers suddenly jumped out of their horses and shouted loudly.

"Whoever comes, report your name!"

Lu Linshan suddenly stopped, and the crowd behind him also stood still at the same time, looking at him one after another.

Lu Linshan clenched his teeth, as if heaven and man were at war in his heart, as a Confucian in Xichuan and the supreme administrator of Xichuan, whether it was learning or integrity, he was not allowed to do the ugly thing of taking the initiative to dedicate the city.

But behind him there is the thousand-year-old Lu family, as well as the ancestors' teachings and ardent expectations, even if he really wants to clean himself, he doesn't dare to take the entire Lu family as a funeral.

In an instant, Lu Linshan's heart turned a thousand times, as if it had been ten thousand years, but in fact, it was only a short moment, and he sighed helplessly and bowed deeply to the army of the Southern Dynasties.

"Xichuan Bu political envoy, Lu Linshan of the Lu family on behalf of the Xichuan fathers, will dedicate the new Chang'an to the general, I hope the general will treat the people of Xichuan well and bring new glory to my Xichuan."

Zhong Qingyuan looked at Lu Linshan coldly, still didn't speak, and Lu Dongqing on the side said with a smile: "It turns out that I met my own family, Lord Lu can rest assured, from today onwards, Xichuan is the Xichuan of my Southern Dynasty, and you are all the heroes of my Southern Dynasty to recover the rivers and mountains."

Now you are still deigning to your original position, once our army destroys the Northern Dynasty, this commander guarantees that you will be promoted to the third level, and you will enjoy endless glory and wealth! ”

As soon as this remark came out, a group of Xichuan officials were immediately overjoyed, although the Cui family repeatedly assured, they were still worried that they would end up miserably after surrendering.

Now Lu Dongqing's words will keep their official character as before, not to mention whether they can cash the empty check for the promotion of the third level after the war is over, but as long as they can keep their current glory and wealth, they will not worry about finding opportunities in this troubled world.

"The old man Cui Huanchen led the Cui family to welcome the general!"

At this moment, Cui Huanchen on the side finally bowed down to the army of the Southern Dynasties.

"You're Cui Huanchen?"

Zhong Qingyuan finally opened his eyes, and his sharp gaze suddenly fell on Cui Huanchen like a knife, and several juniors on the side suddenly felt a chill in their hearts.

Cui Huanchen raised his head with a smile and said calmly: "It is the old man, the old man and the general have exchanged letters for several months, and they can be called gods for a long time. ”

Zhong Qingyuan nodded: "Yes, this time the army has the opportunity to raid Xichuan and get involved in the northern country, you have indeed made great contributions!" ”

The first time the commander of the Southern Dynasty opened his mouth in front of the bureaucrats in Xichuan, Cui Huanchen was overjoyed, and he was about to say a few words, but he heard Zhong Qingyuan's words turn sharply.

"The so-called soldiers are fast, our army must move north as soon as possible, otherwise the emperor of the Northern Dynasty will lose the meaning of the surprise attack, and once the battle is lost, your lives will not be guaranteed.

However, before the Northern Expedition, our army must tightly control Xichuan and ensure the stability of the rear, so that we can conquer the Northern Kingdom without scruples. ”

Unexpectedly, Zhong Qingyuan was so direct, Cui Huanchen was slightly stunned, and said with an embarrassed face: "Xichuan is naturally firmly held in the palm of my Cui family, but there is something wrong with this." ”

"Oh? Is there anything Xichuan is still unfair to the Cui family? ”

Lu Dongqing laughed.

Cui Huanchen shook his head: "It's just an accident, about half a month ago, the imperial court suddenly sent a young man named Xu Rui to Xichuan, and now he is stationed outside the Gonghe Mansion."

But the general doesn't have to worry, he only has about a thousand people, and the old man has already ordered the nearby garrison to go and exterminate it, and when the general repairs in Xin'an for a few days, the Cui family will be able to present his head......"

"What's his name?!"

Before he finished his words, Zhong Qingyuan's eyes suddenly widened and he asked sharply.

Cui Huanchen was startled, and suddenly looked up at Zhong Qingyuan, only to find that not only Zhong Qingyuan, but even Lu Dongqing and the generals behind him all changed their faces and looked at him in dismay.

"His name is Xu Rui, and it is said that he is just eighteen years old this year, and he is a favorite of Emperor Hongwei......"

Cui Huanchen didn't know why, so he had to explain.

Lu Dongqing's smile froze on his face, and he subconsciously looked at Zhong Qingyuan, only to see Zhong Qingyuan's teeth clenched, and said in a loud voice: "Pass my general order, the army will stop entering the city, and the whole army of the Black Flag Army will immediately march eastward and go straight to Gonghe Mansion, and the rhino horn army will set off after repairing for half a day, thinking that it will be reinforcements and take over the new Chang'an and nearby fortresses to the Silent Annihilation Army to be fully responsible!" ”

"Qingxuan, you ......"

Seeing that Zhong Qingyuan was about to go towards the pursuit, Lu Dongqing instinctively wanted to comfort him, but before he could say anything, he saw Zhong Qingyuan clenching his fist at him with red eyes.

"The blood feud of the first battle of Jingyang must be avenged, General Lu can rest assured that this commander is not a reckless person, and he will never put the safety of the army at risk for personal revenge.

I'm worried that Xu Rui will become a variable in this battle.

In the battle of Jingyang, this person has already emerged, even the prince has a very high evaluation of him, and now that this person suddenly appears here, it is difficult to make the little brother feel at ease whether it is accidental or not, and Ben Shuai must take him down in one fell swoop before he is ready! ”

Hearing him say this, Lu Dongqing was not easy to persuade again, and arched his hand: "Brother Xian will go first, and the rhino horn army will go to reinforcements immediately after repairing for half a day." ”

"Please!"

Zhong Qingyuan nodded, and as soon as the reins of the horse turned, he was about to turn around immediately.

Cui Huanchen saw that the commander of the Southern Dynasty was unwilling to enter the city, his face suddenly turned gloomy, and he hurriedly said: "Why is the general in such a hurry, the old thousands of elite soldiers have already surrounded him, maybe he has already taken Xu Rui's head, the general might as well rest in the city for a few days and wait for ......."

Before he finished his words, Zhong Qingyuan suddenly snorted coldly and said: "Wake up, if those miscellaneous armies under your command can clean him up, then our army has already swept through the Northern Dynasty in the first battle of Jingyang, and there is still a need to run today's trip?" ”

As he spoke, he galloped away alone and on horseback, and as soon as he moved, there were whistles behind him, and the Black Flag Army, which was not moving like a mountain, immediately turned into black waves, rolling towards Xu Rui's camp stationed outside Gonghe Mansion.

Cui Huanchen was dismissed by Zhong Qingyuan in public, and his face was somewhat unbearable, so he had to ask Lu Dongqing embarrassedly: "That Xiaoqin is no longer than the crown year, is it really so powerful?" Is General Zhong too cautious? ”

Lu Dongqing couldn't talk about the defeat of Jingyang, so he didn't know how to answer for a while, and laughed wryly.
