In the study, Sun Chenggong asked Cheng Pingzhi with an unkind expression:
"Master Cheng, why did you stop me just now..."
Because the agreement reached with the Fengwu Army not long ago gave Sun Chenggong a lot of confidence, and he also understood that the Luo'an court was now focusing all its energy on the Yunbin battlefield. Even if he rebelled now, they would not It's hard to deal with yourself.
So when faced with Lin Jiesheng's provocation just now, if it weren't for the look in Cheng Pingzhi's eyes, Sun Chenggong would have really wanted to fall out with him.
In response to Sun Chenggong's inquiry, Cheng Pingzhi said calmly:
"Sir, Lin Jiesheng was just forcing you to do something!"
As soon as these words came out, Sun Chenggong felt a chill in his heart. He couldn't help but recall what happened just now. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Lin Jiesheng, as the governor of Jingchu sent by the Luo'an court and the spokesperson of the court in the Chu army, although he is usually arrogant, he is not arrogant enough to openly provoke himself!
But today he openly provoked himself in front of so many important military and political officials, which was really sudden!
If Cheng Pingzhi hadn't reminded him, Sun Chenggong might not have cared at all, but now that he thinks about Lin Jiesheng's behavior, is there anything he can't rely on?
Thinking of this possibility, Sun Chenggong's heart suddenly sank, and then he raised his head and looked at Cheng Pingzhi, who still said calmly:
"I don't know what Lin Jiesheng has to rely on, but Lin Jiesheng has greatly embarrassed you, Marshal, at the meeting just now. With his personality of being so happy about success, I believe that this is the time for him to be proud... ························”
"If he has anything to rely on, he should show some clues at this moment!"
Hearing Cheng Pingzhi's words, Sun Chenggong's eyes flashed with light. Seeing this, Cheng Pingzhi bowed to Sun Chenggong and then left.
After Cheng Pingzhi left, Sun Chenggong immediately made arrangements:
"Come here, get Liu Peng for me!"
"yes!"
Following Sun Chenggong's order, a middle-aged man with a strong build, fierce appearance, but a slight limp when walking appeared in front of Sun Chenggong.
】
This person is Liu Peng. He used to be Sun Chenggong's personal bodyguard. He saved Sun Chenggong's life in an ambush a few years ago, but it also caused his left leg to become defective. Now he is specifically helping Sun Chenggong do invisible things. Light-working black gloves,
Liu Peng, who was found, also understood what Sun Chenggong was looking for, so he directly bowed and asked for orders:
"Young Marshal, please give me your orders!"
Sun Chenggong didn't talk nonsense when he heard the words, and immediately ordered:
"I want to know what Lin Jiesheng did in the house tonight and who he met! Do it quietly and don't disturb him!"
"clear!"
After receiving the order, Liu Peng immediately went down to make arrangements...
Because he was very concerned about this matter, Sun Chenggong was too upset to sleep, so he sat in the study and waited.
"Sir, Lin Jiesheng hosted a banquet for General Wang Zhengzai and Commander Niu Jiawen at his residence tonight!"
Although Sun Chenggong had already had a premonition after being reminded by Cheng Pingzhi, Sun Chenggong couldn't help but feel shocked when he heard these two names!
Lin Jiesheng challenged himself in public today, and he was indeed prepared!
Wang Zhengzai is the deputy general manager of Hanyang. Currently, nearly 30% of the Chu army in Hanyang City are his troops. Although Niu Hao seems to be just a commander, if his expectations are correct, Niu Jiawen is just an agent, and he The representative is his uncle Niu Dahong!
This Niu Dahong is also a general of the Chu army. He is the general of Xiaochang and has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. And the most important thing is that Xiaochang is only more than a hundred miles away from Hanyang. If something happens to Hanyang, Niu Dahong can immediately lead the troops to catch up. Come to Hanyang!
Thinking of this, Sun Chenggong couldn't help but feel a chill on his back. No wonder this bitch Lin Jiesheng dared to challenge him. It turned out that he had already won over these two bastards Wang Zhengzai and Niu Dahong!
Sun Chenggong thought for a while and then ordered the guard outside the door:
"Get Master Cheng and General Zhang Hui to me..."
"yes!"
Half an hour later, Cheng Pingzhi and Sun Chenggong's favorite general Zhang Hui both came to Sun Chenggong. Sun Chenggong first asked Liu Peng to inform them of the current situation, and then said to Cheng Pingzhi in a deep voice:
"Unfortunately, what the gentleman said is true. How can the gentleman teach me at this time?"
Although Sun Chenggong was asking, but feeling the look in Sun Chenggong's eyes, Cheng Pingzhi knew that the young marshal was murderous. He pondered for a moment and then said:
"Since you have made a decision, Marshal, let's make a quick decision, otherwise things will change if it's too late!"
After hearing Cheng Pingzhi's answer, Sun Chenggong nodded with satisfaction. Cheng Pingzhi's answer was exactly what he wanted. As the saying goes, if a minister is not secretive, he will lose his virginity, and if the king is not secretive, he will lose his country. His position in the Chu army itself is not It was very strong, but now he was severely humiliated by Lin Jiesheng in public, and lost all face among his subordinates.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Sun Chenggong also understood that the longer time went on, the more unstable his position would become, and he was even in danger of being sidelined by Lin Jiesheng.
Therefore, for the power in his hands, Sun Chenggong must take action as soon as possible!
Sun Chenggong looked at Zhang Hui and Liu Peng. They looked very determined under his gaze. As the saying goes, the two of them are Sun Chenggong's confidants. They are both prosperous and harmed by Sun Chenggong. , naturally, I absolutely support Sun Chenggong at this time...
With cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes, Sun Chenggong arranged in a deep voice:
"There are two thousand people in the guard camp. Zhang Hui, you take one thousand people to the city defense camp to control the situation. Tell the brothers to have a good meal and drink tonight, but no one is allowed to leave the camp. Anyone who wants to come out of the camp is killed. No mercy!"
"For the remaining 1,000 people, Liu Peng, you and 800 soldiers will be divided into two groups to kill Wang Zhengzai and Lin Jiesheng respectively. Wang Zhengzai doesn't care whether he lives or lives, but Lin Jiesheng wants to live. This is what we are sending Give Marshal Ye a certificate of merit!"
"yes!"
After receiving the order, Zhang Hui and Liu Peng nodded heavily and went to execute their respective orders.
Watching the two leave, Cheng Pingzhi on the side offered advice:
"When Lin Jiesheng and Wang Zhengzai are resolved, Marshal, you can ask Niu Jiawen to tell Niu Dahong that Lin Jiesheng has taken control of the situation and invite him to lead his troops to Hanyang to stabilize the situation. Niu Dahong will not doubt it. We can deal with him under Hanyang City!"
After hearing Cheng Pingzhi's plan, Sun Chenggong nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Master Cheng, your plan is very clever!"
Hearing Sun Chenggong's approval, Cheng Pingzhi bowed respectfully and whispered:
"After getting rid of these old guys, the entire Chu army will be able to boss you around, Marshal!"
As soon as these words came out, Sun Chenggong was startled for a moment. Then he understood what Cheng Pingzhi meant. He then reached out and patted Cheng Pingzhi on the shoulder and said meaningfully:
"Master Cheng, I will need more advice from you in the future!"
Understanding Sun Chenggong's hint, Cheng Pingzhi was so excited that he knelt on the ground and said:
"I am willing to do my best for the young marshal..."
After helping Cheng Pingzhi up from the ground, Sun Chenggong also looked forward to your bright future. Although Lin Jiesheng's provocation was a big crisis for him!
But a crisis is both a danger and an opportunity. You can seize this opportunity and concentrate the power that originally belonged to a few veterans within the Chu army into your own hands. With the power, you can follow Ye Mingsheng's example and implement it in the Fengwu army. reforms to enhance strength through reforms.
In time, I will be like Ye Mingsheng, from a chess piece that can be manipulated and used by others, to a chess player who truly controls his own destiny!

····································
Just when Jingchu was about to usher in a round of bloody purges, in a mansion in Xiaode County, Zheng Chuang happily walked towards Yuan Song holding a piece of paper.
"Sir, there is news from Feihu Camp that the Imperial Army in Shizhou is taking action!"
When Yuan Song, who was studying the sand table, heard the news, his eyes suddenly lit up and he took the letter from Zheng Chuang.
The letter was sent by Zhang Huanghuang, the commander of Feihu Camp who was investigating the movements of the Forbidden Army. Zhang Huanghuang reported that according to his observations, the Forbidden Army in Shizhou area were packing up and preparing dry food in the past few days, as if they were going out for a march. It looked like this, so Zhang Huihuang concluded that the Forbidden Army would march towards Jinyang within three days.
After seeing this news, Yuan Song felt relieved, and immediately asked Zheng Chuang:
"When will the Ninth Division of the Fourth Division arrive at Xiaode?"
Zheng Chuang said without thinking:
"The forward troops of the Fourth Division and the Ninth Division have arrived in Xiaode, and it is expected that the subsequent large forces of the Fourth Division and the Ninth Division will also arrive in the next two days!"
Yuan Song nodded and said:
'Go ahead and send out twice as many scouts. I want to keep abreast of the movements of Yang Chongqing's troops. I will also hold a combat meeting tomorrow night! '
"yes!"
After receiving the order, Zheng Chuang immediately passed on Yuan Song's order...
But Yuan Song, who was in a good mood, was ready to go to bed at this time. In addition, during this period, because Yang Chongqing had not led his troops to come to Jinyang to rescue him as he expected, Yuan Song was also worried. I turned over and over every day thinking about the movements of Yang Chongqing's troops.
In addition, its sleeping condition is not very good, so Yuan Song only slept for almost two hours a day during this period, and was very exhausted physically and mentally. Now that he finally got the news about Yang Chongqing's troops, Yuan Song was relieved and prepared to have a good sleep. Last sleep.
Lying on the bed and feeling relieved, Yuan Song quickly fell asleep. However, unlike what he thought of sleeping until the sun rises tomorrow morning, the guard's voice rang in his ears in the second half of the night.
"Master Yuan, Master Yuan?"
Listening to the guard's voice, Yuan Song gradually woke up from his sleep. He was confused by the lake and rubbed his sleepy eyes while asking the guard with some doubts:
"What happened?"
Seeing Yuan Song wake up, the guard immediately reported:
"My lord, General Zheng Chuang and General Ye Tao came together to ask for a meeting. They said that they have important military information and they want to see you immediately..." ···”
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Song, who was still a little confused, immediately woke up. Although he didn't know what the situation was, it must be a big deal for Zheng Chuang and Ye Tao to come together at this time!
After understanding this, Yuan Song did not bother to change his clothes, and immediately ordered:
"Have them two come over immediately!"
"yes!"
After half a cup of tea, Zheng Chuang and Ye Tao walked into the house with serious expressions. Before Yuan Song could ask questions, Zheng Chuang anxiously reported:
"Feihu Camp sent the latest situation on the front line. The enemy troops in Shizhou have indeed been dispatched, and there are 40,000 soldiers and horses. However, they have not moved towards Jinyang. They have already arrived at Dashi Gang. , their target is probably Pingyang!"
Although he had a premonition that something big might have happened, Yuan Song was still stunned by Zheng Chuang's words, and he subconsciously asked:
"If Yang Chongqing doesn't come to Jinyang at this time, why would he go to Pingyang?"
Regarding Yuan Song's question, the Eighth Division General Ye Tao on the side replied:
"Sir, I suspect Yang Chongqing is heading for the Third Division!"
Ye Tao's words woke up Yuan Song. Yuan Song thought for a moment and walked towards the sand table, biting his lips and looking at the coordinates on the sand table... ·············
After half a cup of tea, Yuan Song punched the sand table hard. The sand table he had carefully arranged instantly fell into pieces. At this time, Yuan Song had already figured everything out!
In this contest, Yuan Song believed that he had the upper hand and the overall advantage of the Fengwu Army, so he felt that he could force Yang Chongqing to come to Jinyang to fight with him!
But Yang Chongqing is worthy of being the great Zhou military god who beat the Kipchaks and did not dare to invade the country. He was more ruthless, crueler and crazier than Yuan Song thought!
Unsure of the decisive battle with the Fengwu Army near Jinyang, he actually chose to abandon the important town of Jinyang!
Abandon this Jinyang City, which has great political influence, and Shangguan Changgong asked him to save it!
After making the decision to abandon Jinyang City and regard Wang Muzhi and the 30,000 Yun soldiers as abandoned pieces, the dead game in front of Yang Chongqing came to life in an instant!
What Wang Muzhi has to do now is to attack Pingyang and annihilate the third division of the Fengwu Army stationed there!
Yes! This crazy guy bet on the fate of himself and the entire Luo'an court. He wanted to trade Jinyang City for the Third Division of the Fengwu Army... ···············
