Chapter 289: A Trap
Hua Ruoxu's father, Hua Wanqiu, was regarded as a henchman of Mo Valve, and was arrested by Yousi and taken to Wangji. This is only second, the Hua family's biggest reliance, Hua Ruoxu's uncle, was originally a eunuch serving the queen, but now he has also been kicked out of the palace, which means that the Hua family is completely finished.
Qin Liang digested the news brought by Tie Mu and gently rubbed his eyebrows.
He was a little speechless.
Because in Tie Mu's narration, he found that the initiator of the Hua family incident turned out to be Song Shu.
Qin Liang remembered clearly that when he was in Wanhua and Lou, Song Shu was in a group with Hua Wanqiu and Ye Cong.
Now that Songshu has returned to him, he has sold his former allies with his backhand.
But Qin Liang could understand that the reason why Song Shu did this was to cut off from the past and to curry favor with him.
"It's ......"
Qin Liang sighed.
"If Hua Ruo is not a bad person, I still have to help him, and I will repay the favor of him when he invited me to drink flower wine......
Qin Liang muttered to himself.
The catastrophe that the Hua family suffered was not a big deal for Qin Liang. In fact, if it weren't for Songshu and someone who wanted to take the opportunity to get in touch with him and Zhenxibo Mansion, the Hua family would not have suffered such a disaster at all.
Qin Liang picked up a pen and paper, wrote a letter to intercede for the Hua family, and wrote a private letter to Gonggong Liu, asking him to help mediate and leave a way for the Hua family to survive.
After doing all this, Qin Liang pondered for a long time, and finally wrote a letter to Hua Ruoxu.
The Hua family suffered such a catastrophe in the Immortal Dynasty, even if he was exempted from some accountability because of him, it was difficult to have a foothold in the Immortal Dynasty.
And Qin Liang has a large fief on the side of the Chu State.
Based on Danyang City, one of the four capitals of Chu State, it radiates a fiefdom of thousands of miles, and in addition to Danyang City, there are dozens of small and medium-sized cities of all sizes. These cities, according to the convention, Qin Liang was to be divided into the merits of the Pingchu army.
However, the record of the Pingchu army ...... It's not that Qin Liang is modest, and he really doesn't have any record that can be done.
Defending the fortified city is because the fortified city itself is the incarnation of the holy city, and with the blessing of the power of the spirit cannon, there are few soldiers of the Pingchu Army who have actually come into contact with the Shaking Mountain Army.
After that, the defense of Yucheng, the counterattack of the Shaking Mountain Army, and the Pingchu Army were all soy sauce existences, and there were no outstanding military achievements.
Of course, the Pingchu army has no merit and hard work, and there must be a reward, and there are few military merit people who may be able to seal a city as a food town.
Therefore, Qin Liang was not in a hurry to give a big reward. After all, there may be many wars against the Chu State in the future. Even if he is at peace with the Chu State, he will one day open up the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land, and there are still a lot of opportunities for the Ping Chu Army to establish meritorious deeds, and he will naturally slowly fill his fiefdom rights system in the future.
With such a large area, it is easy to settle a flower family.
“...... Uncle, the big thing is not good! The old man was ambushed, and he was cut off by the Chu army in Jingcheng, and the situation is critical!"
As soon as Qin Liang sealed the last letter with fire paint, Zhao Fulu pushed the door in, his voice a little angry.
"What?"
Qin Liang was stunned for a moment at first, and after he digested the news, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "When did he go to Jingcheng?"
He originally thought that after his father-in-law took the Qilin Pill, he would retreat and practice for a period of time. What I didn't expect was that the old father-in-law was so violent, and the handsome army attacked Jingcheng.
Jingcheng is only a small city, but it is the most important gateway to the capital of the king of Chu, and the terrain is strange and dangerous, located in the mountain pass, but also surrounded by water, facing the direction of the Xian Dynasty is a long and narrow valley and continuous high mountains, one side is the water, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
After Zhao Tiande took the Qilin Pill, he felt that his strength was unprecedentedly strong, and the whole person floated up, ordered tens of thousands of troops, and rushed to Jingcheng at night.
At this time, the envoys sent by the State of Chu and the Immortal Dynasty were negotiating. As agreed, the two sides suspended fighting. Jingcheng was not heavily guarded. Zhao Tiande's surprise attack was successful and he fought a battle.
It's just that how could the Chu army let Jingcheng fall, once the Immortal Dynasty completely controls Jingcheng, no matter whether the Immortal Dynasty continues to attack the Chu capital, or is eyeing it here, it will put huge pressure on the Chu State, and at the negotiation table, it will have to pay a greater price.
Xiong Ba, the god of the Chu army, personally led an army of 100,000 to besiege Jingcheng!
The main force of the 20,000 Mo Sword Army under Xiong Ba was established with the heavy cavalry of the Immortal Dynasty as a hostile target, and the Zhenxi Army clashed with it and did not take advantage, Zhao Tiande was unwilling to kill and wound more soldiers, so he withdrew to Jingcheng and stood for reinforcements.
It's just that Xiong Ba refused to give Zhao Tiande a chance to breathe.
Before the Zhenxi army withdrew to the city, the Chu army began to attack the city, and the Chu reinforcements were coming in a steady stream, preparing to annihilate Zhao Tiande's Zhou army here, so as to exchange for greater bargaining chips at the negotiating table.
Xiongba has even greater ambitions.
The Zhenxi Army is in the limelight, and it is one of the main forces of the Chu, if it can destroy the Zhenxi Army, kill or capture Zhao Tiande, and deal a blow to the military heart of the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty, it will be extremely heavy.
If it can be properly managed, the trend of this war may be completely reversed.
When the time comes, it is not without a chance to drive the Zhou army out of the territory of Chu State, and even cross the river to attack Zhou again.
This is Xiong Ba's only chance to defend the title of military god, and it is also the last chance for Chu to turn the tables.
If the State of Chu does not grasp this last opportunity at this time, so that the Shuangmeng can see the value and heritage of the existence of the State of Chu, whether it is war or peace, the Shuangmeng will not consider the interests of the State of Chu, and will choose to fully support the Immortal Dynasty and obtain greater benefits from the State of Chu.
Therefore, the military god of Chu State will personally go down and launch a counterattack against Zhao Tiande and the Zhenxi army.
"My father-in-law brought 50,000 Zhenxi troops, but fortunately, 30,000 of them are real elite ......"
Hearing this news, Qin Liang did not panic.
Things haven't gone irreparably worse. Jingcheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Zhao Tiande was able to capture Jingcheng before, purely because he was too lucky. If Jingcheng is properly garrisoned and wants to fight down, it can only use a sufficient number of high-level monks to act as the main force and storm at any cost.
The Zhenxi Army does not have such a background, and the storming of Jingcheng can only be all wishful thinking.
"Something doesn't feel right......"
Qin Liang's heart suddenly sank.
He suddenly had a sense that Zhao Tiande's attack on Jingcheng was likely to have stepped into a trap.
Zhao Tiande's motive for attacking Jingcheng was obviously not deliberate, and it was a whim. This seems to be very in line with Zhao Tiande's character, but in fact, Qin Liang knows his old father-in-law very well, and it is reckless to write about guys in ordinary times, but he can march and fight, but he is quite cautious and will not fight rashly.
The speed at which Jingcheng fell was also unbelievably fast. This is one of the most important gateways of the Chu State, and now that the Zhou-Chu War is in the most critical period, how can the defense here be so negligent.
"A trap, definitely a trap. ”
Thinking of this, Qin Liang looked solemn and asked Zhao Fulu, "What about the red makeup?"
