Wu Zhong stood on the high platform, looking at the crowd below with a stirring mood.

He's finally back to where he rightfully is, no, I should say higher than before.

In the past, the Baokang Army was only 6 or 7,000 people at most, but now as the commander of the Third Army of the Xinyang New Army, the number of troops under its command has exceeded 20,000, and his former henchmen and generals have also brought many of them, so there is no problem in controlling the troops well.

Wu Zhong does not deny that he is a villain, who hasn't been a little selfish?

As a general who has resisted Hu for many years, Wu Zhong never thinks that he is inferior to others, and he has no rebellious intentions, he does not hate Qu Shangqun, and knows that Qu Shangqun is just acting according to orders, but he does not dare to hate the Li family, Jieshuai is the legitimate son-in-law of the Li family.

After people go through ups and downs, there will always be many changes, and those days when life was worse than death were unforgettable for Wu Zhong.

Jieshuai forgave him when he was most desperate, gave him a chance, and gave his whole family a chance to survive, not everywhere has such an opportunity at any time, especially in troubled times, I have seen many in this life. He's not a good guy, but he's a man, he's grateful, and he wants to do better for the festival and for himself.

Wu Zhong didn't expect that Menghu was already being targeted by someone, maybe what he had done before was known to them, and he also knew what he was doing, thinking that he must be resentful and the easiest to be sold. and at the forefront of the anti-Hu war, Yingzhou Ruyin, holding heavy troops, he was taken down, and then through his own solution to the entire Xinyang Army, the entire southern part of the Jingbei Road will no longer be owned by the Jieshuai, which will deal a heavy blow to the Jieshuai.

Looking at the several large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry in front of him, Wu Zhong no longer had the feeling he had before, he knew what he really needed, what else was the marshal of the Han army, everyone in the world, Yongzhen Nanyang Mansion or something, Wu Zhong sneered in his heart, that is a cake, it can be seen and touched, but it will knock his teeth.

Wu Zhong was not convinced by anyone except Lin Jianyue in his heart, including Hao Tianfeng, Tie Qinglin, Wang Lizheng and other people who were higher than him, and the plan he was ready to implement, Wu Zhong did not trust these people, but he believed in the Zhenfu Division, and knew the power of the Zhenfu Division, he decided to let the section marshal know his plan through the town control division, and the section commander would deploy it uniformly, and give the arrogant Hu people a hard blow.

Since he pretended to agree to the conditions of the Hu people, he already knew from the inadvertent appearance of Meng Hu's envoy Shang Zhengnan that it seemed that there were also feudal towns in the south faintly involved in this matter, Wu Zhong knew that the matter was very important, and he did not dare to be easy to specialize, but he might also take this opportunity to make greater contributions.

"So, Wu Zhong agreed?"

Shang Gui was a little suspicious, it was too easy, and he felt that there was a possibility of a scheme, but Shang Zhengnan was his own nephew, and he had followed him for many years, and he would not harm anyone to himself.

Shang Gui is a native of Xuzhou, as soon as Menghu crossed the Yellow River, he led the family to surrender to Menghu, for no other reason, Shang Gui was clever and intelligent since he was a child, everything can be learned, Wen Taowu is slightly outstanding, but in the context of the Daning Imperial Court, everything is related to human feelings, and no one helps him speak in a good place in the court, and he is a little arrogant and arrogant, and he has never been reused.

But since he voted for Menghu, relying on his own talent, his personality has changed a lot, and he has made a lot of contributions, killing his fellow clansmen without mercy, and even won the appreciation and trust of the Hu people, and is now the marshal of the Huaidong Han army and the envoy of the system, and Suzhou is his jurisdiction, commanding more than 50,000 horses, and even the 30,000 Menghu cavalry in Suzhou are at his disposal.

Shang Gui is not a person who only looks at the one acre and three points of land in front of him, he is very concerned about the world's major affairs, Lin Jianyue, who has risen in recent years, he naturally knows and understands it quite well, but he is not convinced, he feels that he is not worse than Lin Jianyue, but he doesn't have that opportunity.

Due to the fact that Menghu has spent a lot of money in recent years, and he is temporarily unable to launch a full-scale attack in the Central Plains, Shang Gui has always wondered why the Hu people did not take any effective action against Lin Jianyue, who was close at hand, but Hu Ren's immobility does not mean that Shang Gui has no mind, he knows that the policy adopted by the Hu people in the Central Plains is to be ruled and managed by whoever lays the territory, and Shang Gui's current status is like this.

Confronting him on the Jingbei Road was Lin Jianyue's so-called Xinyang New Army, of which the First Army was adapted from the Second Army of the original Longjie Army, with strong combat effectiveness, Shang Gui was not sure, and he was not familiar with Wang Lizheng, he only knew that this person was very stable, and Wu Yi of the Second Army was not familiar with it, but he was very familiar with Wu Zhong, the general of the Third Army who was stationed in Ruyin, Yingzhou, and was closest to him, and knew that this person was a member of the Li family. I also heard that Wu Zhong had been demoted to a battalion commander for disobeying Lin Jianyue in public, and it was estimated that he was promoted back through the Li family.

Shang Gui did not hesitate to choose Wu Zhong as a breakthrough, as long as Wu Zhong was taken, and then with the cooperation of Wu Zhong, it was very easy to go north to exterminate Wu Yi's second army in Chenzhou, and no matter how strong and stable the first army of Caizhou was, it would be powerless to return to the sky, and then the entire southern area of Jingbei Road would be owned by himself, which would inevitably shock the world, and his status would not be the same, and his own strength would not dare to be despised even if Menghu did not dare to despise it.

Even with huge interests in front of him, Shang Gui was not carried away, his thinking was still very clear, and he decided to add a few more insurances.

"Zhengnan, you go to Ruyin secretly again, inquire about those under the henchmen who have been following Wu Zhong, and inquire about their attitudes from the side to see if there are any problems."

Shang Zhengnan pursed his lips and said, "Uncle, you are too careful!" ”

Shang Gui said angrily: "This is a major event in the army, it is related to our life and death, no matter how careful we are, don't go quickly, remember to withdraw more money, don't be stingy at this time." ”

Shang Zhengnan had no choice but to take the order, and Shang Gui immediately sent people to Shouchun to contact Sun Zhengyi, who controlled the three prefectures of Hao, Shou, and Guangzhou north of Huaishui, and asked him to send troops from Gwangju to the north when he acted, attack Wang Lizheng's troops who were pinning down Caizhou, attract attention, and after he finished solving Wu Yi, he would go south to join him and completely solve the Xinyang army.

When Sun Zhengyi's army went south, he knew that he couldn't resist with tens of thousands of horses and horses with his own strength, and he was originally ready to surrender, but before it started, Lin Jianyue suddenly rose up and beat the Hu people back to the north, but he didn't know what to do for a while.

Shang Gui in the east found him at this time and gave the conditions of the marshal of Huaixi and the Huaixi defense envoy and the Huainan West Road in Shizhen, and the two sides hit it off. As a feudal town, Sun Zhengyi couldn't stand the Ning Dynasty's white eyes and retreating behavior for a long time, and after resisting Hu for so many years, the once pride and righteousness have been polished.

In this way, Shang Gui did not give up, and was ready to wait for Shang Zhengnan and Sun Zhengyi's accurate reply, and personally went to Kaifeng Mansion to ask for his Bole, Kaifeng Marshal Hachi, one is to show merit, and the other is to ask Ha Chi to send troops to threaten to contain Hao Tianfeng's army when he acts, to ensure that his actions are foolproof.

Unfortunately, sometimes being too cautious can lead to missed advantageous fighters.
