Xiapi south is close to Surabaya, Yishui and Wushui in the north to surround the city and meet Surabaya, it not only occupies the advantages of water transportation, but also has the convenience of irrigation, fishing and hunting, the soil is fertile, and the products are abundant.

But it is such a rich Xiapi, and now it has encountered a ruthless war.

The Jin army stormed Picheng and attacked for more than ten days and nights, but failed to conquer it, but lost a lot of soldiers and horses. Seeing that the siege of the city was at a loss, as the commander of the Jin army, Xie An's heart was very worried!

"General, it's not a way to go on like this. The defenders of Xiapi cowered in the city like this, and did not fight, how long will this battle last? The last general heard that Wei Zheng, the general of the Wei army, had already stationed heavy troops in Xiapi before the war, and also hoarded a large amount of grain, enough for the Wei army's soldiers and horses to eat for a year and a half! We can't just keep spending time with them, can we? Wang Shu was also very distressed.

Xie Shang next to him said: "Yes." General, there are tens of thousands of Wei troops in Xiapi City, but they just don't fight, just like a turtle with a shrunken head. Although we have fought so many battles, I have never heard the news that the Wei army in the direction of Daliang has sent reinforcements, but it is so drained, we can't consume the Wei army! ”

Hearing this, Xie An sighed and said, "Alas! If only we had the red-coated cannon developed by the Wei army. No matter how strong the city wall is, after bombarding it for ten and a half months, I don't believe that it will not crumble! ”

"Who isn't?" Xie Shang shook his head and said, "But Wei Guo is too precious to the red-clothed cannon. Our meticulous work can't hear any favorable news at all, even according to the characteristics and appearance of the red-coated cannon, our craftsmen are still developing it, and they haven't even made up a good look! ”

There is no way, Xie An can't joke with the lives of his subordinates, this Picheng has been built by the Wei army like an iron bucket, not leaking, with these siege equipment, it is absolutely impossible to take Xiapi City, so Xie An can only suspend the offensive and confront the Wei army in Xiapi City.

The fighting on the Xiapi side stalled, but on the Xuchang side, the situation of the Wei and Jin armies was in full swing.

"Kill!"

After Li Xin led his army to Xuchang, he fought a fierce battle with the Jin army that surrounded Xuchang City.

Banner hunting, war drums thundering.

"Die!" Wei Pawn, who was covered in blood, shouted, the cold light flashed, but it was another slash, and at that moment, the eyes that stared at the empty were not closed after all.

The blood all over the ground stained the whole earth red.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and looked up at the red sun shining on the red earth, so bright that he couldn't open his eyes.

He kicked the corpse at his feet and looked to the left and right, and the brother on the left had an arrow stuck in his right arm, but he slashed desperately with his unskilled left hand, and his face was hideous; The brother on the right was red-eyed, roared loudly, and even bled from the corners of his mouth.

After a whole morning of fierce fighting, the Jin army finally receded like a tide.

Li Xin then led his army into Xuchang City.

This Xuchang, but the state of Yuzhou, is very rich, and the city wall is also very firm, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so Li Xin has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and it is not difficult to hold Xuchang City.

However, the difficulty lies in the ill-intentioned nature of some scholars in Xuchang.

Chen Liang was in his mansion, holding a bag of fish food in the pavilion water pavilion, humming songs from time to time, and sprinkling fish food into the pond from time to time.

Look, those brocade scales cheered and jumped on their figures, Chen Liang felt comfortable for a while!

Chen Liang was originally the head of the Chen family, but when Wang Meng changed the law, because he united some Yingchuan families to oppose the implementation of the Juntian system, he was deposed by Ran Min and settled the family business in Xuchang.

At this time, a guy ran over and said, "Master, there is a person outside the door, claiming to be your old friend and wants to see you." ”

"Friends? What is the last name? ”

"His own surname is Chu."

"Surname Chu?"

Hearing this, Chen Liang was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and muttered for a while, and then asked people to invite the old hand surnamed Chu to the study.

When Chen Liang walked to the study, he saw a burly middle-aged man with a black gauze hat on his head.

"Hah! Ji Ye (Chu Zi) Brother, it's really you! Before entering the door, Chen Liang had already asked people to stand guard, not to let idle heat get close to the study, as soon as he entered the door, Chen Liang opened his arms and looked at the middle-aged man with a smile.

"yes. It's been a long time since I've seen Brother Ziming (Chen Liangzi), so that the foolish brother misses it so much! ”

After a few words of greeting, Chu Li sat opposite Chen Liang.

"Brother Ji Ye, we haven't seen each other for more than twenty years, right?"

"yes. We met each other when we fought, walked dogs and cockfights together, went to the Qinglou together, and worked together to hoe the strong and help the weak, that time was really beautiful, but unfortunately, it is gone. ”

Chen Liang nodded rather heavily and said, "Yes." When people get old, they will always reminisce about the old days. Brother Ji Ye, you are now the Jin Court's General Wei, Xu, and Yan Erzhou Assassins, and today's Empress Dowager Chu is your daughter, I don't know why you came to my mansion today? ”

"Ziming, you and I have known each other for many years, and I am close friends, and I won't hide anything from you. The foolish brother is here, and he does have a heavy responsibility. ”

"Brother Ji Ye wants me to unite with the families in Xuchang City to plot to seize the door, right?"

Chu Di lowered his hand and said, "Brother Shi really said it." Yes, now that our Jin army is on the Northern Expedition, its momentum is unprecedentedly huge, and the heart of recovering the Central Plains is already obvious! The Northern Expedition was carried out very smoothly, the East Route Army conquered the three counties of Pi, Pengcheng and Lanling, and the West Route Army had conquered the two counties of Xiangcheng and Yingchuan, and it was believed that it would be able to recover all the lost territory south of the Yellow River in a few days, and the troops were in Daliang City! ”

Chen Liang smiled and said, "Brother Ji Ye, you and I are afraid that it is useless. I am no longer the head of the Yingchuan Chen family, you have to find someone to open the gate of Xuchang, you should go to someone else. ”

"Hahaha! Brother Shi smiled. Chu Li shook his head and said, "In the realm of Yingchuan, who has a higher reputation than you Chen Ziming?" As long as the world brother is willing, the big thing will definitely succeed! ”

Chen Liang said lightly: "Ji Ye, you have found the wrong person." Chen Liang at this time is no longer the Chen Liang of the past! I settled in Xuchang, drinking and eating every day, singing every night, living a happy life, those intrigues, and deceitful things I really don't want to over. ”

"Brother Shi!" Chu Li frowned and said: "Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the future of the Yingchuan Chen family!" ”

"The Yingchuan Chen clan is the Yingchuan County Wang clan of the Han, Wei and Jin dynasties, and has been prosperous for more than 200 years after three dynasties. Do you just watch this great family decline in your hands? How can you bear it? ”

Yingchuan Chen is a prominent family in Yingchuan County between the Han and Jin Dynasties.

There have been celebrities such as Chen Yu, the chief of Han Taiqiu, Chen Ji of Han Dahonglu, Chen Qun of Wei Sikong, Chen Tai of Wei Shangshu, and Chen Zhun of Jin Taiwei.

Yingchuan Chen family from the end of the Han Dynasty into the Wei and Jin dynasties, descendants of more than ten generations of nobles, family status for three hundred years without falling, but the Wei and Jin Dynasty history of one of the most ancient family families.

In comparison, the so-called Wang Xie family can only be regarded as a rising star.

And hearing Chu Li's persuasion, Chen Liang was also a little moved.
