Pengcheng County is located in the north of Jiangdu County, and the county seat is named Pengcheng. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Pengcheng County, with a long history, was once the capital of many dynasties, is a famous ancient capital, and an important political and cultural city.

The battle situation on this road is similar to that of Lujiang County, with the army led by Luo Shixin, the general of Luowu Town, who left the country, and the troops went out of Jiangdu County to meet the enemy in the Northern Expedition.

Luo Wu's army went out of Jiangdu County, Lianke Sihong, Xiaqiu, Fuli and other important cities, directly pointing to Pengcheng County, as long as Pengcheng County was captured, it could be an important stronghold, and it could be attacked and defended.

Of course, Pengcheng County can become an important stronghold for leaving the country to resist a strong enemy, and it can also become an important stronghold for the southern expedition of the Four Kings Alliance, and it is the primary important city for the two sides to fight.

As the ancient capital of the ages, the economy of Pengcheng County is far inferior to that of Hefei County, the economic hub of the north and south, but the historical origin is far superior, and the situation is quite complicated due to the many forces in the city.

There are as many as eight first-class forces alone, namely: the four major families of Xi, Fan, Peng, and Lang, and the four major sects of the Heavenly Poison Gate, the Ten Thousand Axes Gang, the Nemo Temple, and the Yunxiang Sect.

The city lord of Pengcheng County is the patriarch of the Xi clan, the head of the four major families jointly promoted by the eight major forces, and the Qin Demon Xi Wanyan.

Xi nationality is a rather rare surname, it is said to be an ancient family, and it is said that it is an ancient barbarian remnant, and it is said that it is the Xianbei tribe of the Beidi tribe after the Tuoba clan, and there are different opinions. However, it is a fact that it is a large race with more diverse races and more peculiar methods.

It can be said that Pengcheng County, including Pengcheng County, is the headquarters of the alliance of the eight major forces.

this day.

The Wei army has captured Weishan City in the north, and Luo Wu's army has captured Fuli City in the south, and the two sides are marching towards Pengcheng.

In such a situation, Peng Cheng still wants to maintain his previous independence and divide the land, which is naturally impossible, and the eight major forces and many small and medium-sized forces gathered together again to discuss countermeasures.

"This time, the four anti-kings have joined forces, and it is said that there are mysterious forces with the assistance, suspected of being extraterritorial forces, and they are extremely confident in the destruction of the country, otherwise they would not dare to start a war lightly!"

After some analysis of the situation, there was a lot of discussion in the audience. Fan Ling, the patriarch of the Fan clan, was the first to speak, and he was a person who was more partial to Wei and Li Tang.

"Collusion with foreign enemies and plotting against the homeland will have unpredictable consequences. Is Patriarch Fan so confident?"

Peng Cheng, the patriarch of the Peng clan, asked with a sneer. After a pause, he looked at everyone present and said: "The strength of the country is well known to everyone and recognized by the whole world, why should we give up the last to seek the roots? Don't forget, the country is the only kingdom of heaven for thousands of years, the first kingdom of heaven, how can it be so easily destroyed?"

"Patriarch Peng's words are wrong, precisely because leaving the country is the first heavenly kingdom, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. If we attack it together today, there are no allies at all from the country, and even the closest Da Sui is now watching from the wall. It is estimated that if it weren't for the failure of the Great Sui Force and a bit of old feelings, he would have sent troops to attack together, so how long would it be to leave the country in this case?"

Fan Ling shook his head and retorted loudly, and quickly continued: "Shiyi time has passed, it seems that Patriarch Peng has not yet understood! If you talk about outsiders, if you ask the forces present, how many of them really belong to the local forces?"

The Peng family, one of the four major families, is the local force in Pengcheng, and it is also the force that adheres to the local concept the most.

The Xi family, the head of the four major families, is, in a sense, a local force, even older than the Peng family. However, the composition of the Xi family is too complex, and it is obviously biased towards barbarians and aliens, but it is not as pure as the Peng family.

"Yes, it is said that the Fan clan and Li Tang have been quite close recently, so does the Fan patriarch want to take refuge in the Wei State or Li Tang?" asked Peng Cheng with a sneer.

Fan Ling's eyes narrowed, and he said angrily: "Nonsense! Such a baseless statement, Patriarch Peng is cautious!"

"Enough!"

Xi Wanyan, the patriarch of the clan who had been silent, said in a deep voice, like a terrifying mantra, which made everyone present tremble and unconscious, and even Peng Cheng and Fan Ling, who were full of gunpowder, were silent for a while.

This is one of the main reasons why Xi Wanyan became the city lord of Pengcheng.

Xi Shi originally majored in sound and Taoism, and Xi Wanyan, who was a great scholar in the late Danxin period, was one of the best, making people unguardable but difficult to parry, and he was the strongest person in Pengcheng.

"According to the rules, vote to decide ......"

Xi Wanyan didn't analyze much, and announced it directly as if it were business, paused, frowned and looked around at everyone present and reminded:

"Remind me, this seat has just received information on the Hefei battlefield. Li Tang's plan for Hefei County failed, and Li Tang's second son and his reinforcements abandoned the city lord of Zuo, his family, and the supporting forces, and evacuated alone. Now that the county seat of Hefei has fallen into the hands of the Liguo, the Zuo City Lord and his 30,000 filial piety martial arts elite armor, as well as the Zuo clan, the Kong clan, the Cao clan, the Wuhumen and other powerful families that are close to Li Tang, have been exterminated by the Lijun Manchus, and the other neutral people have not committed any crimes! ”

"Hmph! It's just a matter of becoming a king and defeating a coward, if Li Tang wins and supports the forces that have left the country, will he be spared?!"

Fan Ling snorted coldly, reminding him with disdain and as a matter of course.

"This is a big difference! I believe that even if the country is defeated, it will protect the supporting forces and evacuate, and will not be like Li Tang, who directly abandons and withdraws alone......

Peng Cheng stared at Fan Ling with cold eyes and said, then continued: "Patriarch Fan, be careful, don't become the second Zuo clan...... Having said that, it seems that Patriarch Fan can't compare with the Left City Lord! Li Tang can even abandon the Left City Lord...... Hehe......"

"The destruction of the kings is the trend of the times, it should be the Fan patriarch who is careful, right?" Fan Ling narrowed his eyes and said in a gloomy voice.

However, Xi Wanyan and Peng Cheng's words did affect Fan Ling, and they were more or less jealous!

This was one of the subsequent effects of the defeat of Li Shi's militia in Hefei County.

Because of Li Shimin's mistake in Hefei County, countless forces changed their decisions, after all, in addition to leaving the country and the four major anti-kings, Zuo Xiaowu can be said to be the most powerful "soil emperor", but he ended up with death and annihilation, not to mention other forces.

Incidents similar to Pengcheng also occurred in important cities such as Xiapi, Yancheng, and Donghai, and they were all discussing whether to throw themselves out of the country or to the coalition forces.

This is the sorrow of the weak in troubled times, unable to be independent at all, just like a boat in a tsunami, in danger of destruction at any time.

The forces of various major cities, if they want to resist the enemy, they must not be able to stop it, and they can't stop it, so they can only choose one to take refuge, which can be regarded as a kind of self-protection.

If you bet on the right treasure, you will naturally be a meritorious man, and the rising tide will lift all boats. If you bet wrong, you will most likely become the second Zuo.

Of course, you can also choose neutrality and evacuate without helping, but ...... Then you have to give up everything, and it's a very difficult decision.

Similar to the discussion of Pengcheng's forces, it is still a relatively mild way.

After the discussion, the undercurrent is turbulent, the sword light and sword shadow, whether it is a coalition army or a leaving army, they will send people to try their best to win over, and at the same time assassinate the hostile forces, that is a battle under the table.

The one who can really decide the winner is the armies of both sides. (To be continued.) )
