Volume 2: A Laugh in the Sea Chapter 128: Marshal Dalu 489 (II)
The second brother Shan mentioned by Shen Luoyan is Shan Xiongxin. Shan Xiongxin was the old team of Zhai Rang when he got into trouble. With high qualifications, strong martial arts, high merits, many soldiers and horses, and great power, he is faintly the third person in Wagangzhai Zhai Rang and Li Mi. Because there is a second brother in the family, there is an elder brother on the head, so he is called the second brother. At present, he is leading the army to sit in Jinyong City, and the joint forces of Rongyang and Hujiaoguan form a horn trend, so that Wang Shichong of Luoyang can only passively respond to the battle, but he cannot take the initiative to attack Wagang.
Chen Sheng said with a smile: "Luoyan is full of opportunities, and you are decisive in dealing with things, plus at least a quarter of the territory of the Wagang Army is fought down by you." In terms of merit, qualifications, and ability, no one can compare to you. Of course, Lao Shan is also a talent. However, if he comes to this position, I am afraid that it will only hurt him in the end, and it is better to let you come. ”
Once the so-called power is in hand, the order will be carried out. Shan Xiongxin and Li Valve have a deep feud in the sea of blood, once he becomes the big leader, he must fight to the death with Li Valve. If Chen Sheng stops him, it will hurt his friend's righteousness, and if he can't say it, he will repeat the mistakes of Zhai Rang and Li Mi. If he doesn't stop him, it is clear that he is pushing the Wagang brothers to die together. So no matter what, Shan Xiongxin can't be this big leader.
Shen Luoyan couldn't help but beat faster when she heard that Chen Sheng had vetoed Shan Xiongxin, but she still hesitated: "But...... The wild goose is always a woman. ”
Chen Sheng shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "What about women? Half a day for men and women. What's more, there are many gangs where women are leaders on the rivers and lakes. For example, Mrs. Shan of the Dongming faction, Zheng Shuming of the Great River League, Yun Yuzhen of the Giant Kun Gang, Shang Xiuxun of Pegasus Ranch, and ...... The yīn queen of the yīn sect wishes Yuyan, they can be the masters of a faction, and you can naturally do it too. ”
In fact, there is definitely a difference between leading a gang in the rivers and lakes and leading a big shili like the Wagang Army. However, Shen Luoyan has always been conceited and full of talent, and he is by no means below any man. As long as she has the opportunity, she will never think that she can't really be this big leader. It's just that I'm worried that there is no such precedent and I can't convince the public.
Now that it is clear that Chen Sheng will stand by his side and backing himself. So in the eyes of the people of the Wagang Army, their allegiance is still Chen Sheng, and the head of the Shen Army, which is only symbolic. On a psychological level, the feeling of resistance is eliminated. At the same time, Shen Luoyan has Chen Sheng's support, and he can also let go of his hands and do it as much as he wanted, without having to control many elbows as before. Such an arrangement is the best of both worlds, how could she not be tempted?
Gritting his teeth hard, Qiao Junshi nodded and said, "Okay, then Luo Yan will sit in this position for Shenglang." However, if Luoyan wants to sit firmly on this chair, the support of Second Brother Shan is still indispensable. About last night's incident in Rongyang City...... What are you going to say to them? ”
Chen Sheng said lightly: "Ming people don't say dark words. What to say about it. Write to them to come back to Rongyang first, and when everyone arrives, I will naturally tell them the truth. Lao Dan, Lao Qin, and Lao Cheng are all good men who put chivalry first. For the sake of the overall situation of the Wagang Army, I believe that they will all make the wisest choice. ”——
Time flies, and the moon flies. In the blink of an eye, more than three full months have passed. In this hundred years, the most eye-catching thing in the world is not the leader of the Iron Cavalry Club, "Qingjiao" Ren Shaoming was killed by the wild wolf Bafenghan outside the Saiwai, which led to the alliance with the Iron Cavalry Association, and the strength of Lin Shihong, who was entrenched in Jiujiang, declined. Jiangnan became the world of Xiao Milling and Song Valve. It was not Li Valve who defeated Xue Ju, the overlord of Western Qin in Liangzhou, and gained a firm foothold in Guanzhong. It's not that Dou Jiande proclaimed himself the King of Xia and destroyed the desperate Yuwen Valve. But...... About the Wagang Army.
In fact, Li Mi and Zhai Rang are in a situation where one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and sooner or later they will break up. People of insight in the world know this. Although Zhai Rang is the founder of the Wagang Army, he is inferior to Li Mi in terms of wisdom, martial arts, and prestige. Therefore, everyone predicted before this incident that the winner of this infighting would be Pushan Gong.
But the result of the zuihou thing is a big surprise. Li Mi and Zhai Rang actually died together, and both were defeated. The Wagang army openly declared that everything was a Turkic plot, and displayed the corpses of Yan Lihui and Tiexiong. The evidence is so ironclad that it is impossible to deny it. However, at the same time, many generals who were loyal to Li Mi in the Pushan public camp were purged, and it seemed to reveal a trace of unusualness. And the remaining Wagang generals gathered in Rongyang, held a funeral for Zhai Rang Li Mi in a solemn and solemn place, and publicly recommended Shen Luoyan, the confidant of Li Mi's henchmen, as the new leader, which made the people of the world feel confused, and they couldn't see through what was going on at all.
In any case, Zhai Rang and Li Mi died at the same time, and even though the soldiers and civilians of the Wagang army believed that the incident was the work of the Turks, it was always a major blow to them. If the Turks are close at hand, they can also work together with the army and the people to send troops to take revenge. But in fact, the Turks are far away, and they can't even find a partner for revenge. For a while, the morale of the Wagang army was depressed, and there was a faint appearance of instability.
For a long time, the most direct opponent of the Wagang army was the old Sui Shili who was entrenched in the eastern capital of Luoyang. To put it more directly, it is Wang Shichong, the Duke of Zheng Guo, who has mastered more than 200,000 soldiers and horses in Luoyang. Wang Shichong noticed that there was a gap in the Wagang army, so he took the opportunity to send 100,000 soldiers to cross Luoshui and attack the Wagang army. When he heard about the military situation in Rongyang City, he was shocked overnight.
At the critical juncture, Shen Luoyan led 50,000 troops to the north to meet the enemy. In this battle, the Meiren'er military division made a great deal of power, and repeatedly deceived the Sui army with the strategy of attacking the east and the west, making it exhausted, but it was never able to grasp the main force of the Wagang army. In addition, the generals who led the left and right wings, such as Wang Xingben, Wang Taizhen, Wang Shiyun, Wang Daoxian and other Wang Shichong's relatives and henchmen all died mysteriously overnight, resulting in chaos on the two wings and could not be dispatched.
Shen Luoyan took the opportunity to command the Wagang army to defeat the left and right flanks first, and then divide the troops to cut off the back road of Wang Shichong's main force. Wang Shichong was terrified, so he led his troops to break through the siege, and was beaten by the main force that Shen Luoyan had ambushed on the bank of Luoshui in advance. Wang Shichong's nephew Wang Ren saw that the situation was not good, and led the army to fight to the death of the palace to cover Wang Shichong's retreat. But he was killed by Chen Sheng, the prince of Nanchen. So far, among the 100,000 troops of the Sui army, more than 30,000 have been killed, more than 30,000 have been surrendered, and another 20,000 have been scattered. Wang Shichong was only able to lead less than 10,000 remnants of troops to retreat back to Luoyang, which can be described as a fiasco. Shen Luoyan won a triumphant victory.
After this battle, not only did the morale and momentum of the Wagang Army rise again, but it also made everyone in the world know that although Li Mi and Zhai Rang died, the Wagang Army under the leadership of Shen Luoyan would definitely only be more terrible than before. At the same time, after Shen Luoyan returned to Rongyang, he was rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and everyone knew that the person who killed Wang Xingben, Wang Taizhen and others was also Chen Sheng.
Although the credit is the greatest, Chen Sheng does not take credit, let alone be rewarded. Shen Luoyan then respected Chen Sheng as the "Marshal of the Great Road" with the generals of Wagang, claiming that he was above the head of the big dragon. When the news came out, people all over the world woke up like a dream. It turned out that it was not Shen Luoyan who inherited the status of Zhai Rang and Li Mi at all, but Chen Sheng, the prince of Nanchen. And Chen Sheng only served as the marshal of the main road, obviously following the example of the Turkic martial artist Bi Xuan and the Goguryeo sword master Fu Cailin.
But why Chen Sheng is like this, people in the world have different opinions, and there is no consensus. The most widely circulated ** is that Chen Sheng never forgot to restore the ancestral foundation, and once swore that he would never be the king and emperor before capturing Nanchen's homeland.
After the Battle of Luoshui, Wang Shichong was greatly injured and was almost unable to threaten the Wagang army. Shen Luoyan originally intended to attack Luoyang in one go. However, Chen Sheng believed that Luoyang was a rare fortified city in the world, and it was not a wise move to attack the city. Therefore, it was suggested that the Wagang army should develop to the surrounding areas instead, gradually encroaching on Luoyang's affiliated territory and isolating Luoyang itself.
Shen Luoyan listened to this suggestion, so he sent troops to attack Liyangcang and Huiluocang, and succeeded in one fell swoop. While receiving sufficient military rations, he also opened a warehouse and released grain in the name of Chen Sheng, the prince of Nanchen, in order to win the hearts of the people. Small groups of rebels and old Sui generals and officials from all over the country have heard the news and surrendered. Although the territory of the Wagang Army has not expanded too much because of this, the adverse effects caused by the deaths of Zhai Rang and Li Mi have been completely swept away. Instead, it was Chen Sheng, the prince of Nanchen, who became famous, and the land of the Central Plains was full of ordinary people who praised the kindness of the prince of Nanchen.
Luoyang was no longer in trouble, so the Wagang army got rid of the containment of the Sui army in the eastern capital and began to prepare to use troops in the Jianghuai region to the south. And this action also seems to confirm the previous rumors that Prince Nanchen tried to restore the territory of Nanchen first. On the other hand, the Wagang Army temporarily let Luoyang go, and the external pressure faced by Luoyang decreased, and the internal Shili became restless. Specifically, it is the Dugu Valve who controls the Luoyang Imperial Court, and Wang Shichong, who controls the military power of Luoyang, and the contradictions and conflicts between these two giants are becoming more and more intense, even to the point of incompatibility.
Dugu is a relative of the imperial court, and his strength is deep-rooted. Although Wang Shichong was defeated by the Wagang army, his strength was especially strong and he did not collapse. The two sides fought back and forth, and finally Wang Shichong, who held the gun, had the upper hand. Seeing that the situation was not good, Dugu Valve thought of a way to bring in foreign aid. And this foreign aid...... It turned out to be Chen Sheng.
In fact, speaking seriously, it is not too strange that Dugu Valve would think of asking Chen Sheng for help. When Rì Chen Sheng was in Jiangdu, he had a deal with Dugu Valve. Of course, in private, Dugu Valve didn't have any good intentions, and secretly hit the idea of He's Bi and Yang Gong's treasure house. But on the surface, at least, the two sides are not turning against each other.
Moreover, at that time, Yuwen Valve's owner Yuwen was injured and launched a mutiny and killed Dugu Sheng, an important figure of the Dugu Valve. But Chen Sheng killed Yuwen again, and let go of Duguce and Duguxiong, it can also be said that he is kind to Dugu Valve-
