The grain attack incident in Kaifeng Mansion made Li Chongshan very angry, although it could not really affect the actions of the army, but the loss was not small, he had always been very kind and polite to Hachi in the past, and this time he also scolded him heavily, Li Chongshan thought that Hachi would govern Kaifeng Mansion very poorly, no, not Kaifeng Mansion, but the territory previously controlled by the entire Central Plains, so it was to this point today, and he did not understand his own ideas and strategies at all.

Li Chongshan was also a little frightened, this is just thousands of local people in Kaifeng Mansion, causing such a big damage, can his Dameng really rule the entire Han land? How much resolute resistance is there like this? No, it's not like this, it's all brought up by Lin Jianyue, as long as Lin Jianyue is defeated or killed, everything will return to before, Lin Jianyue must be killed as soon as possible, and it can't be delayed any longer.

Li Ziyang had been secretly waiting in Lianshui County for a long time, and as soon as he received the news from the enemy's intelligence department, he immediately rushed to the Chinese army camp in Pu Jinzhong, Jincheng Town, where he formally paid a call on Pu Jinzhong, who was the most important garrison of the Lianshui Army in the past, but now it is the front line, very close to Haizhou.

As one of the most important ministers under Lin Jianyue, he didn't need Li Ziyang to be the messenger in person, but Li Ziyang's two reasons persuaded Lin Jianyue. First, the Li family has a lot of influence in the imperial court, Pu Jinzhong has a place to find the Li family, and even knows Li Ziyang, Pu Jinzhong has sent people to contact the Li family before, hoping to get the support of the Li family, but the conditions have not been negotiated, and he must not dare to embarrass Li Ziyang. The second is that only an important minister under Lin Jianyue like himself, Pu Jinzhong does not dare not see it, otherwise if the ordinary envoy can't see someone, he can't say anything, so how can he implement the next plan?

Li Ziyang really met Pu Jinzhong very smoothly, and he was very polite, with Lin Jianyue's current strength and might, no one dared to ignore it.

"It seems that King Yan already knows what Ben Shuai is going to do, this time the eldest nephew came, I don't know what to teach me?"

Pu Jinzhong was very close to Li Ziyang in his words.

"Pu Shuai's army is gathered here, it seems that there is a lofty goal of counterattacking the Central Plains, Li Chongshan has arrived in Kaifeng, and he will launch an attack on His Royal Highness in the near future. I don't know if Pu Shuai will attack Huaiyang Mansion on Jingxi East Road or recover Haizhou first? ”

"Attacking Huaiyang or attacking Haizhou doesn't seem to have much to do with King Yan!"

"It doesn't have anything to do with it, but it has a lot to do with Pu Shuai. This time, I came to the order of His Royal Highness King Yuyan, to inform Pu Shuai of a very important news, the 100,000 troops on Jingdong West Road had already arrived on Jingdong East Road several months in advance, just waiting for Pu Shuai to launch, and left Pu Shuai's army on the Shandong Peninsula in one fell swoop. ”

Pu Jinzhong was shocked: "This is impossible!" Doesn't he want Xuzhou and Jingxi Road? ”

"Ha Chi ordered Sun Zhengyi to disguise the main force to drag Zhou Qing, and hundreds of thousands of elite Hu cavalry were already waiting for Pu Shuai on the other side."

Pu Jinzhong said angrily: "Sun Zhengyi is a villain in vain!" Does he not want his son's life? It's so good to be a dog for Hu Ren? Is it better than being a king? As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he had slipped his mouth, and his face became even more ugly.

Li Ziyang didn't care, and said with a smile: "Pu Shuai doesn't need to think much about how His Royal Highness King Yan knows, Pu Shuai just needs to know that you are a hero who has resisted Hu for many years, and your army is also the elite of our Han people, and King Yan will not have bad intentions towards them." ”

"Then thank you King Yan for your kindness, but you came so far on purpose, wouldn't you just inform you of the news?"

Li Ziyang said: "Of course, more than that, the battle between His Royal Highness King Yan and Li Chongshan is a decisive battle related to the fate of the Han people. ”

"I'm far away in Haizhou, how can I help King Yan? Now that Hachidu has mobilized heavy troops to deal with me, he can only apologize for his own self-preservation. ”

"Hachi's army in Jingdong East Road is less than 200,000, and he only needs Pu Shuai's soldiers to go out of Haizhou and drag them down, and King Yan will mobilize elite soldiers to assist, annihilate this part of the enemy army in one fell swoop, and recover the two roads in Jingdong, and King Yan promised to promote Pu Shuai as King Huai afterwards."

Pu Jinzhong shook his head and said: "As soon as I leave the strong fortifications, the Hu people will immediately surround me, how can the army protect itself outside?" I'm sorry, I can't help King Yan. ”

Li Ziyang was secretly angry in his heart, you have more than 200,000 troops in your hands, and you have prepared in advance, as long as you take every step of the way and do it carefully, even if there are more than 100,000 Hu cavalry, what can you do? It's clear that he is timid, and he still has to save his strength and wait for King Yan and Hu Ren to be defeated and ready to pick up cheap.

Li Ziyang didn't say much, but said before leaving: "Pu Shuai had better discuss with his generals, they are all Han and friendly troops, Pu Shuai must believe in the courage, determination and loyalty of his subordinates, I will wait for Pu Shuai's good news." ”

The word loyalty Li Ziyang particularly accentuated his tone, he knew that the experienced Pu Jinzhong could hear the voice outside the picture.

Ren Xiong had already received a secret letter from his father, asking for just one to drag Pu Jinzhong near Haizhou to attract the attention of the Hu people.

Ren Xiong has been in contact with many leading generals, and unexpectedly found that Pu Jinzhong's control over the subordinate troops is not as strong as imagined, Ren Xiong naturally will not say any major secrets, let alone engage in rebellion and the like, just talk about the past of King Yan, express his admiration and admiration for King Yan, and actually get a lot of echoes.

Pu Jinzhong really heard something unusual, and he was suspicious, and immediately convened the generals of the various armies to discuss the matter.

When he said that there were more than 100,000 elite cavalry of the Hu people preparing to ambush on the opposite side, Pu Jinzhong was surprised, but he didn't see much of the panic that had often occurred in the past, especially Ren Xiong, the cavalry commander he believed in the most, actually had the intention of trying it, could it be that his subordinates were already so strong?

Pu Jinzhong hesitated, and said tentatively: "King Yan sent someone to find me, asking me to send troops to Haizhou and cooperate with his elite soldiers to annihilate more than 100,000 Hu cavalry on the opposite side, what do you brothers think?" ”

Ren Xiong took the lead and said: "King Yan has defeated the Hu cavalry army in the field several times, and his combat strength is strong, since they are coming, they can still fight a dozen, and we are not vegetarians." But until they arrive, we can't act rashly, and the risks are still very high. ”

is still intimate with his brother-in-law, Pu Jinzhong is reluctant to be tempted to be crowned king, according to what Ren Xiong said, as soon as Lin Jianyue's elite soldiers arrive, Hu Ren's eyes are no longer here, and the fighting spirit of his subordinates is not low, and he can indeed do it, and the risk is not very great.

However, Pu Jinzhong hesitated again, since he is not the main force, will Haizhou and the Shandong Peninsula have nothing to do with themselves in the future? That's not going to work! I have to talk to Li Ziyang about the conditions.

Li Ziyang was very happy, and on behalf of King Yan, he promised that after the war, Haizhou and the southeast of Jingdong East Road, including the prefecture and county where the Kong family was located, would belong to Pu Jinzhong's jurisdiction in the future, and he also wrote things to sign and draw.

Pu Jinzhong was overjoyed, and only told his most trusted brother-in-law Ren Xiong about this situation, after all, at this time, it was not the main force to fight Hu, and it was not very good.

It's a pity that the most trusted brother-in-law is just a real traitor, Ren Xiong then received a request from the Zhenfu Division that he could start to rebel against some of the generals, and Ren Xiong didn't do anything else, that is, secretly revealed Pu Jinzhong's villain's thoughts and even Li Ziyang's signature and painting to the general of the unified army, the target that had been selected a long time ago, and tentatively revealed the meaning of King Yan's appreciation.

Pu Jinzhong's subordinates are not people who have no righteousness or higher pursuits, and they have not made any progress with Pu Jinzhong over the years, and more importantly, Pu Jinzhong has been falling behind in today's world, and people's hearts are naturally a little scattered.
