Xuzhou

The situation has always been tense, and Chai Rong couldn't sleep all night. But the guards Fan Zhen and Dou Yi slept very soundly, Zong Xin said that Murong Yanchao would not attack him, and he would not dare to attack him, they were convinced of Zong Xin's words, and the facts also proved that Murong Yanchao did not have the courage, they ate well and slept well, and only Chai Rong was worried.

The two cities confronted each other, Murong Yanchao would occasionally launch a tentative attack, but it was only a small battle of a few hundred people, and he had already retreated almost before he reached the city, and the only thing they could do for the 100,000 troops in Xuzhou Xicheng was to find a place to roast and drink.

Such a cold day is indeed rare, because it is in the southern weather of Xuzhou, there is no snow all year round, but this winter there is heavy snow to close the streets, not to mention the war, even the march is difficult.

But I don't know when, the sky has stopped snowing, the snow on the ground has begun to melt, and the temperature has risen. This incident made Chai Rong even more worried, he thought that Zongxin's mana had run out, and now that Xuzhou had returned to its original climate, if that was the case, it would be troublesome, what if Murong Yanchao called?

Chai Rong knew very well that the walls and gates of Xuzhou Xicheng were all tofu scum projects, which were built quickly and had limited defensive power. Attacking other cities may also require ladders to climb the city walls, but attacking Xuzhou Xicheng is really not necessary, and a bunch of people can pile down the city walls with a little force.

Of course, Chai Rong's worries are still a little bigger. Even if the city wall is a tofu scum project, it will not be so fragile, but the height of this city wall is really not very good, and this has been built with all its might, if it were not for Lei Hong's economic support, I am afraid that there would not even be such a city wall.

At this time, Chai Rong stood on the city wall, looking at the main city of Xuzhou in the east from a distance. The enemy who killed his wife and brother was there, but he could not attack himself, but he had to worry about his invasion. Chai Rong gritted his teeth angrily, in just over two months, Chai Rong was obviously older, and some white hair appeared on his head.

He didn't know when this suffering would end, but he knew very well that the current Xuzhou was waiting for Zongxin and his father-in-law to return, and as long as they returned to Xuzhou again, it would be time to attack. Defeating Li Jing and capturing Murong Yanchao alive is just around the corner.

Although Chai Rong doesn't like Zongxin very much, his ability is certain. Chai Rong believed that Weizhou would definitely win, and they would return to Xuzhou when the Khitan retreated in the spring, and when the time came, Murong Yanchao must pay the price, cut off the meat on his body little by little and feed it to the dog, and then kill the dog to eat meat, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Chai Rong didn't know why, every time he thought of Zong's faith, he was angry. I always feel that his big bald head makes people look unpleasant, and I really wish he would wear a wig if I could. and his little brother Tianya, who became a little monk after worshipping under Zongxin, and his little bald head was also angry.

Chai Rong is not crazy, he knows that he is sick, and as long as he sees a bald head, he will have a strong killing intent. But there is one exception, and that is small children. Chai Rong would not have this kind of killing intent when he saw a child without hair, even if the child had no hair on his head.

At this time, Lei Fang and Fan Zhen were taking their son who was less than a year old to play on the city wall, Lei Hailong was 8 months old, Lei Fang was not in a hurry to let him learn to walk, but held Lei Hailong from the city wall to look into the distance, Lei Hailong liked the battlements of the city wall very much, and he danced happily every time.

Fan Zhen slowly walked to Chai Rong's side, and then said softly: "King Jin, are you still worried? It's been more than two months, I told you that Murong Yanchao wouldn't call, you just don't believe it." Bai has been worried for a few months, isn't it? Look at how thin you have become? Let's go back and rest for a while, eat something and sleep well, if you fall, what should Xuzhou City do?"

"Don't worry, my body is okay and I don't fall down so easily. Chai Rong said: "Lei Hailong really likes this kind of thing, and he is happy every time he comes." He must be a great general in the future. ”

"Hahahaha~ A child, he likes this kind of new thing, can he not be happy when he looks at such a high place?" Fan said: "But as the old saying goes, resentment becomes father and son, debt is transferred to husband and wife, this kid is not close to me." Every time I hold him, I'm not happy, but his mother is very happy. I've grown so big, I haven't hugged it a few times, and their surname Lei annoys me. ”

Chai Rong said curiously: "By the way, I have one thing that has been held in my heart, why is your son's surname Lei instead of Fan?"

Fan Zhen was ashamed and said: "No way, Lei Hong's martial arts are too high." He stipulates that this child must follow his surname, what can I do? I can't strangle this child to death just because my grandfather let my son's surname be Lei. It's my own life, and I can't do it. Besides...... I dare to touch this child's hair, Lei Hong has to rip me off. ”

"That's right. Chai Rong said: "Lei Hong is a bit of a bully, the child doesn't have his father's surname and his mother's surname, but it's okay, if my son can change his surname in exchange for so many reinforcements and supplies, I would rather sell my son's surname." The entire 100,000 soldiers in Xuzhou ate all the rice and grain given by Lei Hong, and drank all the wine given by Lei Hong, which was a lot of expenses, and no matter how rich Lei Hong was, it was impossible for him to help others raise so many soldiers for nothing. ”

"Do you think Lei Hong is really willing to give? Not yet...... Master Zongxin asked, who do you think Master Zongxin has the highest profit from his business in Yandao? This money has nothing to do with Lei Hong, it is all Master Zongxin's money. Fan Zhen felt that he was a little fast-talking, and he almost missed it, just now he originally wanted to say that it was all due to his brother-in-law Zong Xin, who was the only person in the entire Lei Wang Mansion who gave him a good face.

The people in the Lei Wangfu hated Fan Qian, including Lei Tianxiao and Lei Tianxin. Because there is only one girl in Lei Wangfu, Lei Fang, she is a collection of thousands of favors, everyone thought that she could find a husband with strong martial arts and a handsome appearance, but Fan Qian's whole body is very average, and her martial arts are too ordinary...... Then find a doorman in the Thunder King's Mansion and torture him a hundred times.

It's a pity that Lei Fang likes Fan Zhen, and I don't know if there is water in her head, how can she fall in love with a very ordinary person like Fan Zhen? Even Lei Tianxiao, who has the best temper in the entire Lei Wangfu, has never given Fan Zhen a good face.

Lei Tianxiao is the kind of person who usually doesn't like to talk, but when he meets acquaintances, he will talk endlessly. Although he is cold on the outside, he is very enthusiastic and wants to help anyone who is in trouble.

Lei Tianxiao's personality is actually very good, whether as a friend or a lover, he is absolutely first-class, and he can even be said to be a warm man in silence. Only Fan Qian, when he saw him, he was angry, Lei Tianxiao never figured it out, how could his dear sister fall in love with him, was it because he was blind?

The same is true for Lei Tianxin, who was beaten by his sister since he was a child, because the women around Lei Hong are constantly rotating, even if the woman who gave birth to a child is just an accessory for Lei Hong, and has no value at all, so the children of Lei Wangfu don't know who their own mother is, Lei Fang is an adult-like existence for Lei Tianxin, and he respects and loves her.

Lei Tianxin likes his sister very much, and his expectation for his sister is to marry a hero of the world. Fan Zhen completely shattered Lei Tianxin's dream of his brother-in-law, Fan Zhen's martial arts are not much different from Lei Tianxin, both of them are straw bales, and Lei Hong and Lei Tianxiao's attitude towards Fan Zhen also affected Lei Tianxin, making his attitude very poor.

Fan Zhen is the most aggrieved, he has done nothing wrong, and he knows very well that no matter who Lei Fang marries, the people of Lei Wangfu have this attitude towards him, unless it is a talent like Zong Xin who can't pick out a second person in the world, Lei Hong will definitely not be satisfied with this son-in-law.

But there are very few people like Zong Xin, and they may not be able to look down on Lei Fang. Therefore, Lei Fang will definitely marry someone who is absolutely dissatisfied with Lei Wangfu. Fan Zhen just caught up with this kind of family, and he had no choice. For Fan Zhen, he will only look at himself when he works hard and puts his status on an equal footing with Lei Hong.

Looking at the 100,000 army in Xuzhou Xicheng, Fan Zhen knew that if he could always master this 100,000 army, Lei Hong's attitude towards himself would change. But it's a pity that in addition to the emperor, only the right minister is qualified to transfer such a force, and even the secretary of the military department is not qualified to do so.

So Fan Zhen has only two ways, either rebel and become emperor, or work hard. Although Fan Zhen has never wanted to take advantage of Lei Fang's relationship and not use any resources of Lei Wangfu, the result is still like this in the end, if it is not for the protection of Lei Wangfu, I am afraid that Xuzhou Xicheng will not be able to hold on to it at all.

"People sometimes have to be submissive, just like me. has always been high and bright, with a clear breeze on his sleeves, he has long decided not to spend a penny on Lei Hong, and he does not need any resources from Lei Wangfu, he will climb up by his own ability, and finally become the third prince. If it weren't for the Thunder King's Mansion, I would have died a long time ago. Fan sighed.

Regarding this, Chai Rong was also very depressed. Lei Hong has always been a contrarian figure, but when he really encountered a crisis, those righteous people were like turtles with shrunken heads, and only Lei Hong did his best to help.

Chai Rong knew that the forces of the Lei Wangfu were used to confront the Zhao valve, and Zhao Jing was ambitious and had a heart of disobedience, as long as the Lei Wangfu dared to act rashly, the Zhao valve would rebel. Therefore, this time, the Lei Wangfu can only fully support the military salary, grain and grass, but this is already a great kindness. Raising an army of 100,000 in Xicheng, Xuzhou, this kind of consumption is not something that ordinary people can afford, and the Lei Wangfu is very low-key, and he doesn't even want anyone to know that they are sending grain and grass to the front line, and they don't want to leave a name after doing good deeds......

"Having said that, I'm still a little worried about concentrating all my troops in Xuzhou, and I don't know if Weizhou can hold it. Although I was happy for a while when I received the battle report for the first time, and finally slept a few peaceful nights, the longer the time dragged on, the more worried I became. "Chai Rong was originally a person who liked to worry, but now the situation makes him have to worry, Weizhou is related to the safety of the whole world, I hope Master Zongxin can make miracles, otherwise...... It's all over.
