Having made the decision, Luo Dingbiao felt relaxed.
There is no serious difficulty except death. Instead of being watched by Sun Shaozu all day long, it is better to turn against the enemy and fight.
Since the old boss specially sent the Feng family to contact him, he naturally valued his usefulness as a gatekeeper in Linqing City. However, Luo Dingbiao was very happy. People who are useless will naturally not be spotted. Being useful means that he If you win this fight, your future will be limitless, and your rise to success will be just around the corner.
Luo Dingbiao has been in Datong for so many years and is very aware of the influence of the Feng family in Datong Town. This is why Sun Shaozu has extremely strict control over the ministries under his command. If he is not careful, he may be attracted by Feng Tang. This is true on the battlefield. Deadly.
And he had not had much connection with the Feng family over the years, so he was placed in Linqing City. However, because he was not a direct descendant of Sun Shaozu, Sun Shaozu did not trust him, so the city guard general was placed in the hands of Zhu Yunqi. In his hands, this was what made Luo Dingbiao most dissatisfied. In a sense, this was also the reason why he accepted the olive branch thrown by the court.
Of course, there were other reasons why Luo Dingbiao was willing to take a chance. For example, he discovered that Niu Jizong was unable to recapture Xia Town after it was captured by the Northwest Army. This made him realize the subtlety of the situation in Shandong. The Northwest Army had already given Niu Jizong a palace in Lunan. The army caused tremendous pressure and even made it unable to quickly recapture Xia Town.
For example, he found out that Chen Jixian of Huaiyang Town was said to be indifferent to the capture of Xia Town. The Northwest Army even launched a surprise attack through its defense line. It is hard to say what role this guy played in it.
The key is that Nanjing is actually helpless against Huaiyang Town, which is unacceptable, because it means that Chen Jixian may change from an ally to an ambush soldier who attacks from behind at any time. Everyone is now observing the situation.
This also made Luo Dingbiao feel that Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu's strategy of delaying change may not be as smooth as everyone imagined before. Even if he was not there, the court would not tolerate Shandong being controlled by Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu, even if it was just the canal. One line.
Wealth is sought in danger. Being a martial artist relies on life to gain wealth. Now that the Feng family has given him a chance, the court obviously has a greater chance, so what are you waiting for?
But having said that, if I take a gamble and drag the incoming imperial army in with every trick, and cover it up in one fell swoop, the imperial court will probably no longer have the energy to attack, right?
I'm afraid that the commander-in-chief of Datong Town should be himself, right?
Linqing suffered a setback and could not take Shandong. Chaos arose in Shanxi and Shaanxi. Maybe the world really belonged to Prince Yi Zhong.
Luo Dingbiao's expression was complicated, and it was difficult to make a decision for a moment.
The period during which Luo Dingbiao made his decision was a torment for He Huchen.
Before coming here, Sun Chengzong had told him that there should be an opportunity in Linqing, but what kind of opportunity was unclear and uncertain.
Later, Feng Ziying forwarded Feng Tang's letter and informed the internal affairs department. This made He Huchen overjoyed, but later Ali learned that there were also many uncertainties here. It was uncertain whether they would retaliate and whether they were decoys. , but no matter what, such a possibility and opportunity must be seized, otherwise the price to pay for the forced attack on Linqing City will be even greater.
For He Huchen, this is also a fight.
If the so-called internal agent in the city is a decoy and one of his troops breaks in, it will be like a sheep stumbling into a tiger's mouth. Not only will his own unit be completely lost, but the morale of the entire army will also be fatal.
But He Huchen had already made up his mind and decided to give it a try.
Because it was worth a try, and he felt that it was worth a chance to convey Feng Ziying's serious story. Although he was not familiar with Feng Tang, since he had sold his life to Feng Ziying, he didn't need to think so much anymore. .
As the sky turned dark, He Huchen remained motionless, sitting on the ridge and staring ahead.
The army was still slowly advancing eastward, but there was no news from his side. No matter how anxious he was inside, He Huchen remained calm and composed on the surface.
Two hours passed, and there should have been news from Lianli, but there was no news.
There was no bad news coming, but there was no good news either.
I wonder if this is an ominous omen? He Huchen couldn't help but think wildly.
Regret?
That's a good thing. You have to keep a thin line. You didn't lure a group of your own people into the city to kill them. It's moral. Maybe you're not sure about the future development of the situation and don't want to do it.
Or maybe it wasn't agreed upon at all?
Or maybe the situation in the city has changed, and it was once possible, but now it's not possible?
Unable to help but clench his fists, He Huchen was about to get up and move his somewhat stiff body when he heard a whistle from the other side of the forest, and he perked up.
Immediately afterwards, several people rushed over, "Sir, you are back."
"Okay, how's it going?"
Hearing the other party's words with a hint of joy, He Huchen's heart suddenly jumped.
After listening to the introduction from his subordinates, He Huchen slowly calmed down and asked for some details again and again, and finally determined that there should be no big problem. The best response preparation was inside, and he didn't expect it to be Luo Dingbiao.
Of course He Huchen knew about the situation of the garrison in the city and the distribution of the garrison. Luo Dingbiao ranked second in terms of military strength and was stationed in the east. Binyang Gate, Weiwu Gate, Jingdai Gate and Dongshui Gate were all under his control, among which Weiwu Gate was in the inner city. To the north, it is not suitable. Jingdai Gate is over there, because Linqing City is narrow in the south and wide in the north. If you enter Jingdai Gate and are blocked by the city defenders, it will be difficult to break through. Binyang Gate here should be the most suitable. Once they break through, they can almost capture half of Linqing City.
But Luo Dingbiao actually wants to go to Dongshuimen by himself? !
Although Dongshuimen is in a moderate location, it is a waterway!
If you want to enter through the waterway, you will naturally be slow, and the dangers are obvious.
This means that there is a section of waterway, at least a hundred steps away. Even if there are wooden rafts as pontoons, our side has almost no defense ability in this section. If our elites get on the pontoon bridge, they will become living targets and have no ability to fight back. , once it was a trap, a few barrels of black oil and a few rockets could turn hundreds of his elites into charred corpses everywhere. He Huchen shuddered at the thought of this.
Could it be that Luo Dingbiao really designed a trap to trap him?
He Huchen kept rubbing his cheeks to calm himself down.
It's too dangerous to go through Dongshui Gate. Compared with Binyang Gate and Jingdai Gate, it feels like a trap no matter how you look at it, and it's a trap that you can't resist.
The problem is that the time limit is so tight, there is no room for maneuver at all. Either take a gamble and risk your life, or simply give up, or rely on the army to attack by force to fight this battle.
Risks have always coexisted with benefits. He Huchen had known this for a long time, but it was only at this time that he felt it so deeply.
Bet or not?
At this time, there is no time to find other channels to verify the screening. If you want to take this chance, you have to rush back immediately, mobilize the army to come at night, and take the risk. If you are not willing to take the risk, then you have to go back. , fight steadily, because this means that the defenders in Linqing City already know that their own army has arrived at the city.
He Huchen took a deep breath, stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go!"
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he meets someone he knows, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
