"How?" the voice of the person who pushed the door in was a little hoarse, and there was a visible scar on his thick wrist, but the thick armor was visible from the cuffs.

"There are already two armies out of the West Gate, and there are still five armies in the city that are being organized, and it is estimated that they will go out of the city within an hour, and now the situation in the city is a little chaotic, and those guards and officials are a little flustered, and Pang Yuan's words have not been able to play any role. ”

The reply was a man in a green coat and a soft hat, his face was gloomy, and next to him was a man sitting on a chair with a thoughtful stare.

"The army on Liu Dudu's side has not yet passed, and it is estimated that it will take two or three hours to arrive, and the Caizhou army in the south has also arrived outside Gushu City. ”

"Expected. The scorched man pouted, "What now?" there's movement over there. ”

can't help but make people anxious, several big families in Nancheng have moved, counting the family soldiers of these families can exceed three hundred, if you add those guards and servants who are close to and attached to them, I am afraid that there can be five hundred, Yao Neng opened his eyes: "Huang Er, what about the heads of the group?"

"Don't worry, my lord, the head of the blacksmith household is right under my nose, but except for a few craftsmen at the east gate, most of us dare not divulge it, those people cherish their lives, I am afraid that they dare not fight. ”

The sturdy man called Huang Er opened his big mouth, and his black and yellow teeth were annoying, but Kong Wu's powerful image could make people feel a lot more at ease.

There are a lot of blacksmith workshops in Songzhou City, and there are at least twenty or thirty guilds participating in the guild, and each family plus apprentices can have twenty or thirty people, all of whom are strong and sturdy men.

"What about Kaiyuan Temple and Qingliang Temple?" Yao Neng asked in a deep voice, but he looked at the man in the green shirt and soft hat.

"They have already been contacted, and they are also hesitant, but there are some monks and soldiers prepared by Qingliang Temple, which may come in handy. The man in the green shirt and soft hat replied.

"In other words, there is no movement over there in Kaiyuan Temple?" Yao Neng snorted lightly, "Then don't blame you for turning your face ruthlessly in the future." ”

"Kaiyuan Temple was also bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, and they were injured during the Huichang period, and now they don't dare to bet easily. The man in the green shirt smiled.

"Don't dare to bet, how can you get the profit?" Yao Neng pursed his lips, "Huang Er, you and the head of the beggar family, after an hour, set fire to several backyards, as well as their shop faces, in order to drag down their soldiers,...... and there will be rewards in the future. ”

"Yes, a certain province. Huang Er's face flashed with joy, and Yao Neng didn't care when he saw it, "Your people want to control the east gate, and they must let the army enter the city smoothly." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Yao Nengcai said again: "Brother Qian, it depends on the people of your family here, I'm afraid you will have to make some preparations to control Ximen." ”

"Lord Yao, the people we can use are ready, as soon as the Tianxing Left Army leaves the West Gate, we will take over the West Gate. The man in the green shirt and soft hat paused, "We also have people in the guards, but Caizhou is also making efforts, so I'm afraid that these people will repeat." ”

At this time, no one can tell who is who's who, yang is against yin, and it is normal to be a person in front of you and a ghost behind your back.

Xuzhou is powerful, but Caizhou's roots in the Central Plains are as deep, especially in Chenzhou has fallen into the hands of the Yuan family, and the Chenzhou gentry have always had a close relationship with the Songzhou Wang clan, which is also the biggest weakness of Xuzhou, and it is also the main reason why Xuzhou has not dared to easily send troops to infiltrate Songzhou.

"It doesn't matter, as long as the army can enter the city, the big deal is to fight hard, and the Xuzhou army is not afraid of anyone. Yao Neng said proudly.

As the person in charge sent by Wuwentang, he is of course confident that tens of thousands of people in the Ziqing army are coming non-stop, if it is not for the fear of alarming the Tianxing Left Army and causing unnecessary changes, the cavalry is afraid that they can be killed directly under the city, and now even if the Caizhou army is approaching, as long as it is not turned away, even if it enters the city and fights, the Xuzhou army will naturally win.

Kaiyuan Temple.

Huineng's face was pale, and his forehead was dripping with sweat.

An ultimatum has come over there, asking him to make a statement.

Everyone knows that with the withdrawal of the Tianxing Left Army, Songzhou is bound to become the focus of contention between Xuzhou and Caizhou, the reason why both sides did not move before, it was because they were unwilling to stimulate the Tianxing Left Army Pang Yuan to attract variables, but now the departure of the Tianxing Left Army has become a foregone conclusion, two hours later, Songcheng will become an undefended city, and the Xuzhou Army and the Caizhou Army are coming non-stop, everyone wants to win this opportunity, then it depends on the performance of all parties in the city.

Qingliang Temple has already stood in line, Huineng is not a good man and woman, of course he will not believe anyone, as the abbot of a temple, of course he is responsible for the future of Kaiyuan Temple, Huichang destroyed the Buddha and let Kaiyuan Temple be greatly injured, now Kaiyuan Temple can not withstand this kind of toss, if the bet fails, Kaiyuan Temple can not stand it.

But don't bet on it?

Xuzhou is not a good stubble, not to mention, the relationship between Qingliang Temple and Kaiyuan Temple alone is enough for Huineng to have to consider the consequences.

Qingliang Temple sent all the only thirty monks and soldiers, this is a desperate bet, if Kaiyuan Temple does not keep up, then Xuzhou succeeds, this Song Zhou will not have a foothold in Kaiyuan Temple.

Or, bet on Caizhou's side?

This idea is also tickling Huineng's heart.

For the two sides, as much as possible without alarming the Tianxing Left Army, they should try to win over all aspects of the city on the premise of not alarming the Tianxing Left Army, and make efforts to accumulate more strength to win the final control of Song City.

The conditions offered by Caizhou are also very attractive, but tempting also means that the risk is huge, if you really want to bet on Caizhou and miss, then I am afraid it is not as simple as being suppressed by Qingliang Temple, that is, it is a worse situation to destroy the Buddha for the second time.

"Abbot!"

"What?"

",...... from White Horse Temple"

"Oh?!" Huineng was shocked in his heart, he knew that the White Horse Temple had a close relationship with Xuzhou, Qingliang Temple was not the White Horse Temple, but Kaiyuan Temple had something to do with the White Horse Temple, which made his mind float, it seemed that Xuzhou was more prepared, "Please!"

A moment later, Huineng sent the visitor away with a complicated expression, and took a deep breath, "Let the monks and soldiers in the temple prepare, and set off in half an hour to ...... the West Gate." ”

"The King of the County. ”

Jiang Feng sat on the chair facing south and facing north, holding his forehead with his hand, as if he was half-asleep and half-awake.

During this period of time, although there was not much physical exertion, but the mind was a lot of energy, especially in the face of how to deal with the situation in the Central Plains, it can be said that he tossed and turned, and he couldn't sleep well.

Competing with Caizhou for Songzhou, he is not afraid.

In terms of strength, the strength of Xuzhou has surpassed that of Caizhou, perhaps because the integration of the armies will take some time to slowly integrate, but it is not necessarily a bad thing to fight a battle at this time.

A fierce battle can often make the losses of an army in a state of integration greater, but this can speed up the integration and formation of this army, which Jiang Feng feels.

The Ziqing Army led by Liu Yansi and Chai Yong was mainly integrated from the Ziqing Army under the original Pinglu Town and the first part of the Lao Huai Right Left Army, and the cavalry strength was not weak, but the infantry army was uneven, mainly because the combat effectiveness of the original Ziqing Army was slightly inferior.

It's worth fighting this battle with Yuan.

Even if you really lose the battle for Songcheng, but at least the counties in the east can be controlled, Yucheng, Dangshan, Chuqiu, and Shan Father, this is the bottom line, I believe that the Yuan family really won Songcheng and several other counties, and should be content.

But if the Ziqing army captured Song City, I am afraid that the Yuan clan would not be able to give up.

The geographical location of Songcheng is too special, its importance is self-evident, if Songcheng is not taken, or Songcheng is controlled by Xuzhou, the Caizhou army will not be able to talk about the control of Songzhou, and Bozhou to the south may be poked by the Xuzhou army in the south at any time.

However, Jiang Feng could not let the Ziqing army stop at Yucheng, which would not only damage his own morale, but also be detrimental to future negotiations.

The bottom line is just the bottom line, but if you want to talk about the bottom line, then you have to at least raise the bottom line a few levels, otherwise, how to negotiate with the other party?

Jiang Feng is not afraid of fighting with Caizhou, nor is he afraid of completely tearing his face with Caizhou, but he knows that now is not the best time to completely tear his face with Song Zhou.

If the relationship with the Shatuo people is not stabilized, the relationship with Caizhou and Nanyang will never be determined, of course, whether there will be a relationship between the Shatuo people and the Shatuo people, Jiang Feng is not very sure, he even feels that it is unlikely, even if he hopes to reach a stable relationship so that he can buy time for himself to digest, but he feels that the Shatuo people may not give him this time.

It's not that the Shatuo people don't have weaknesses, Rao is Dajin has a good appetite, hard teeth, and strong strength, but swallowing most of the Henan Prefecture plus Shaanxi, Huai, Slip, Zheng, and Bianzhuzhou, it also has to stop and rub its stomach and digest it well, but compared to Xuzhou, the pattern system that the Shatuo people have established for so many decades is obviously thicker, maybe the Shatuo people will be able to stabilize the interior in three or five months, which means that the Shatuo people can make another move.

If he is Li Cunhou, as long as he defeats the big beam, then the blade will definitely point to Xuzhou first, as for Nanyang and Caizhou, he can even give up some of the benefits in hand and give them to these two, as long as they can join the battle against Xuzhou.

This is a very high possibility.

Without him, it is because Xuzhou has the shallowest foundation and the most unstable internal armies, which is why Jiang Feng tries to fight a few battles before completely turning the other cheeks with the Shatuo people, so that the Ziqing Army and the Wuning Army can be integrated and formed as soon as possible, in contrast, Zhu Mao's Tianping Army is more stable.
