Chapter 97: Leadership (2)

In early April, Shu is warm and looks the same every day.

At this time, the weather is getting warmer, the dry branches have not yet fallen, and the tender green branches have grown. The lazy businesses on the street who are hiding in winter have cheered up and started to move towards the goal of the new year.

Ordinary vendors have already set up mattresses, playing tricks, making words and divination, making noises, and there are also hawking sounds. The snacks and delicious food from all over the place have made guests stop.

At noon, the rain passed by sunny days, and there were many restaurants in Wenyang Fucheng, a street near the north city.

In the past two years, due to the peace of the two counties, business has gradually flourished.

I saw a restaurant with two copper lions at the door. The elegant two-story building inside was also the time when people came and went.

The aroma of wine and food are filled with fragrance in the air, which is extremely tempting.

The elegant seat on the second floor is next to the window.

There are a few side dishes and a cup of wine on the table. Some dishes are cooked very carefully, and they are delicious and expensive.

There were only two people at this table, and they were sitting opposite each other and tasting wine and food. It was Song Han and Song Heng.

Song Hanxian was thinking about things, holding a cup and drinking lightly, looking out the window with distant eyes.

Song Heng sat opposite him and drank with his head down.

"Second brother, look, they have come." At this time, Song Han, who had been looking out the window, suddenly spoke.

At the same time, as if to respond to his words, there was a noise outside.

"Are you going to leave the city?" Song Heng paused his hand, put the cup in his hand on the table, turned his head and looked outside.

Because of its excellent location, you can see the scenery on the street with just a look down.

The streets where pedestrians were originally traveling, were cleared by a team of soldiers, and the middle of the road was empty. With a burst of scolding, pedestrians were all avoiding both sides.

Not far away, the sound of horse hooves and footsteps gradually became louder.

The purpose of entering again is the soldiers passing by.

I saw a team of spearmen lined up, everyone looked serious, leaning on their shoulders, straightening their waists, not squinting their eyes, walking, wearing golden paint, majestic in the sun, causing the onlookers to shout softly.

The team behind was full of swords and weapons, with their waists straight, without squinting eyes, and walking step by step, only listening to their neat steps, without any confusion.

Looking from the restaurant, there are soldiers, each hundred people and one flag. It can be said that the flags are continuous, and under the flags are densely packed with soldiers, with more than 10,000 soldiers, boundless and unobstructed.

Even if there are only five thousand troops coming out of the mansion, it is quite extraordinary, connected from beginning to end, and you can't see the bottom at first sight.

Obviously, the people were very pleased and proud of Wen Yangjun and cheered from time to time.

Song Han and Song Heng stood on the city tower and looked out from afar. In the team, there was a general who was favored. He rode his horse and looked for a while, but he did not see General Dingyuan Wang Hongyi.

Thinking of Wang Hongyi's special identity, it was obviously not easily exposed to everyone. The two no longer deliberately searched.

At this time, there were also many people staring at the advancing army at various key points.

Song Han looked at the banner carefully and said for a long time: "In addition to the Black Guard, the four newly built capitals of the Yi army have each of them, and they have all been dispatched."

"Brother, this time, I will definitely fight against the Chengdu army. If the old Wei thief takes over Hongze, it will definitely be a disaster for Wenyang Changding and the two counties." Song Heng continued to pick up the cup and taste it, and said, "I don't know what the outcome will be like this time."

Song Han stroked his beard and said with some concern: "Looking at his army, although Wei Cundong is a general, he is not as good as my son-in-law. It is just that my son-in-law's soldiers are only 20,000. It is said that Wei Cundong dispatched 40,000 this time, and I don't know what the situation is."

People with knowledgeable circumstances understand that they must go through a fierce battle, but as long as they win, this sacrifice is necessary. It is a very simple truth that kindness does not control the army.

"Brother, if the general can win, Wei Cundong will kill our 71-member Song family. This hatred can be resolved this time. I will ask to kill the nine clans!"

"Nine clans may not be necessary, three clans are necessary!" Song Han said sneeringly.

After participating in this intelligence collection, they knew very well that the defenders of Hongze Town could not last for a few days.

They were not aware of the agreement reached between Du Gongzhen and Wang Hongyi, but compared with the possible growth of Wang Hongyi's power, the two were actually more concerned about the outcome of this decisive battle.

The hatred of extermination is irreconcilable.

This is especially true in the eyes of the children of such a large family.

"Brother, in terms of number, the Chengdu army is indeed more, but the long-term battle also suffers a lot of losses. The Wenyang army is very strong. Perhaps, this time, the general can really avenge this bloody revenge for my Song family!"

Among the seventy-one people who died in the massacre of the family were Song Heng, two concubines and several concubines. His hatred towards Wei Cundong was no less than that of Song Han, the eldest brother who was the head of the family.

Song Han thought longer: "Yes, Wang Hongyiguo is a hero of a generation. In just a few years, he swallowed Changding County like an iron barrel run by Wenyang County, destroyed the Li clan, and gave him a few more years. This Shu may not be taken over. If there is no accident in this battle, I would like to warn the Song family to put away other thoughts for the time being, just one mind to assist him. With Youer and his son here, are you still afraid that the Song family will not rise again?"

"You'er is reassuring, but..." Song Heng sighed when he thought of the increasingly gloomy nephew. He had something in his heart, but it was not easy to say it.

Song Han heard the second brother's meaning and sighed, "Second brother, I have already thought about my son's affairs. Some time ago, he did a little too much, and now he has restrained himself. There is no need to worry too much about this. When the family was destroyed, the people in his room were affected. It is also necessary to choose a virtuous lady for him to marry. You can inquire and see if there is a woman in Shu who can match him."

"Please rest assured, brother, I will definitely do this." Song Heng also felt that his nephew was going to adopt his character. He once thought he had good qualifications, but in the past one or two years, it has become more and more unbearable.

If this continues, what future does the Song clan have?

If it really doesn't work, I will give up on him and ask him to marry more wives and concubines, give birth to more descendants, and cultivate the next generation as soon as possible.

Two days later, thick smoke rose from the horizon in Changshou County.

Han Liang, the commander of Changshou County, stood at a high place on the city wall and looked down. He saw a group of cavalry running towards the county town. The cavalry were wearing armor and holding a flying flag.

When the cavalry arrived outside the city, they patroled for a moment, and then formed a solemn array, and several cavalry rewarded them. After a while, they saw red flags gathering continuously, each flag was one battalion, five battalions and one guard, and the guard flag was even higher.

The trumpet kept ringing, and the camps and guards were constantly moving in line, slowly approaching the city, and gathering not far away.

With such a mighty power, Han Liang could not help but change his color, and he could hear the heavy breathing of the generals beside him.

The army stopped five hundred meters away from the county town. At this time, the square formations were dense and hard to count. It was known that there were more than 10,000 people, one of which had a huge red flag with the word "Wang", which was particularly attractive.

Looking from the city, under the flag, there were Wang Zhen's soldiers dressed in red, and the shining weapons emitted dazzling light under the reflection of the sun.

The 20,000 army is connected from beginning to end. Even if it stands on a high place, it can only barely see the end.

Commander Han Liang stood on the city tower and looked out. When he saw the huge red flag with the word "king", he knew that Wang Hongyi was leading his troops to fight in person.

Since Wang Hongyi knew that he had obtained the fortune of fire virtue, he had sent people to use the red flag. According to Zhu Yuanzhang's situation, he also made war clothes clearly, and stipulated that all war clothes must be red.

After Zhu Yuanzhang inherited the Fire Demon, he stipulated that the army was red, and so was Wang Hongyi to respond to his luck.

In fact, at this time the army was moving forward, looking at the energy, the red air lingered and soaring into the sky, which was the army of fire virtue.

At this time, in front of Wang Hongyi, all the generals stood in front of him, Ding Huchen, Zhang Yunxin, He Yi, He Sheng, Fan Liuhai and other generals were all around.

Behind these people are densely packed with elite guards.

The generals stared at the county town together and carefully looked at the flags on it.

After a long time, Wang Hongyi spoke out: "Where is the messenger?"

At this time, Du Gongzhen's messenger hurriedly stepped out and said, "General, the foreign minister is here."

"Since your lord has asked me to rescue me, this county is owned by this town. Go and persuade me quickly and come out to greet me immediately. Otherwise, half an hour later, I will lead the army to attack."

"Yes, general, little minister will go now." As he said that, the messenger went out, and after a moment, he went to the city to shout.

"Father General, what should I do now?" At this time, a young officer whispered to commander Han Liang, who snorted coldly, and was very unhappy for the Lord to betray him.

Although Du Gongzhen did not say that Han Liang would surrender, Changshou County was his foundation. Giving it out would be like giving up his foundation. At this time, he snorted coldly and looked at it intently.

Han Liang was wearing heavy armor, about forty years old, and his eyes were full of evil spirits.

There were several strong fang soldiers around them, patrolling around them steadily, and the iron leaves on their bodies shone coldly in the sun.

I saw a camp of several miles, densely packed with messengers from his lord below. After sneering, he showed a solemn expression. Finally, he sighed and said, "Let's turn on and leave the city!"

"Father General!" The young officer shouted unwillingly, this will be his foundation in the future!

"Oh, under the eaves, I have to bow my head. The commander has already pulled away my guard. There are only one thousand people in the city. How can this thousand people be the opponent of these 20,000 people? If it is broken, my father and son will disobey the order of the lord, and there will be no way to live." Han Liang, the commander of the commander, sighed, and his tone was also unwilling.

After hearing this, the young officer had to be speechless.

After a while, the city gate opened wide and a group of people rushed out. The leader was Han Liang, the commander of the city, and he finally surrendered to the city.
Chapter completed!
