"This weasel will never do anything good if he pays New Year greetings to the rooster. You said that Zhang Yubo and Yuan Hancheng came over. Is it because Donghai Fox is behind my back to make money with me?"
Zhang Yubo and Yuan Hancheng left, and Chen Hansan got up from the bed in a hurry. He didn't look sick at all. He drove the concubine out, leaving only Ma Zhen to discuss the matter.
Ma Zhen frowned. When Zhang Yubo first mentioned the plan to surrender, he also subconsciously thought that Chen Hansan was not going to Huaiyang because of illness. If the plan failed, Lin Fu asked Zhang Yubo to try another plan. At this time, he had other ideas.
idea.
"In the Ma Fu case, Lin Fu beheaded the son-in-law of the King of Chu, ransacked the entire Ma family, and enriched his own pockets. The King of Chu repeatedly complained, but couldn't get it. He wanted to skin Lin Fu and eat him in a frying pan. How could he be with Zhang Yubo?
Cooperate to make money for us?" Ma Zhen said.
"That old man, wearing the title of King of Chu, who is going to criticize him? After struggling for so long, maybe he will give in in front of Huaidong."
Chen Hansan said: He has been the only one who has deceived people all these years, but he doesn't want to hunt geese all the time and end up getting pecked by the geese.
"Even if it's a plan, as long as the commander-in-chief guards the city of Xuzhou and prevents Huaidong's troops from entering, what's the point of Huaidong's plan?" Ma Zhen pondered.
"That's right." Chen Hansan frowned and said to himself, "Zhang Yubo asked us to surrender in order to lure the Yan army to capture Xuzhou City and surround it with the Huaidong army. But when the Yan army
Come here, let us really open the gates of Xuzhou City and let them in. What can Huaidong do to us? This is not a plan at all. Could it be that Zhang Yubo and the old man really want us to surrender and cooperate with Huaidong to annihilate Dayan?
A troop of soldiers and horses!”
"Maybe that's the case!" Ma Zhen said, "The handsome man may be able to use his plan to his advantage!"
"Huh, so easy?" Chen Hansan snorted and said, "If Lin Fu really wants us to pretend to surrender and lure Dayan soldiers and horses to come and ambush him, he may be able to use the trick, but this is just the wishful thinking of Zhang Yubo and the old man, let's forget it
How can Lin Fu be easily fooled if he wants to use his tactics?"
"I don't see any harm in it," Ma Zhen said. "If Zhang Yubo's plan can really succeed, cooperate with Huaidong to lure and annihilate tens of thousands of troops from the Northern Dynasty, and easily break the siege of Dongping, it will be considered a great achievement! Lin Fu!
If we believe that even if we vote for the Northern Dynasty, we will not get much benefit, this great achievement will be a bit tempting!"
"Then tell me how to pull off the trick?" Chen Hansan's words to Ma Zhen whetted his appetite.
"Let Zhang Yubo go to Huaiyang to find Lin Fu to coordinate this strategy. We will just follow the trend..." Ma Zhen said.
"Just following the trend?" Chen Hansan asked.
"Just go with the flow." Ma Zhen said.
"If Yuan Lishan doesn't believe us and doesn't send troops, how can we take advantage of the situation?" Chen Hansan said.
"The handsome man can send the young masters over first as pledges to win Yuan Lishan's trust. Furthermore, Yuan Lishan sent people to take Xuzhou City. Ten or twenty thousand people are enough. Compared with Xuzhou City, ten thousand or twenty thousand soldiers and horses are more important. It is not clear at a glance.
?Even if Yuan Lishan did not dare to take such a initiative, Ye Jiduo, who was in charge of Jinan, did not have the courage? Furthermore, the Northern Dynasty also knew the situation between Huaisi and Huaisi quite well, otherwise it would not have sent General Gao to sneak over and follow the handsome master.
See you soon." Ma Zhen said.
Chen Hansan stroked the messy beard under his chin and fell silent.
Xuzhou and Huaiyang are close to each other. He is as sensitive as a rabbit to any disturbance in Huaiyang. In the past two years, Huaidong's investment in Huaiyang Town has been able to hide it from others, but not from them.
In the past, the Red Coat Army had always been regarded as elite soldiers in the refugee army, but it lacked soldiers, armor, clothing and food. It was difficult to compete with the elite officers and soldiers. However, in the past two years, how many soldiers did Huaidong import to Huaiyang?
Chen Hansan had a rough idea of the supplies.
With the support of a large amount of materials, the total number of soldiers of the Huaiyang Town Army has not increased much, but the combat effectiveness of the Huaiyang Town Army has increased linearly, far from what it was before. Not to mention other things, the cavalry currently stationed in Huaiyang Town
The number is already more than twice that of Xuzhou.
The Qingzhou Army built forts in the Yangxin area, almost in a hurry before the Yan soldiers and horses came on. Huaidong began repairing and consolidating the cities in the Huaisi area two years ago. It can be said that the cities were consolidated and fortified in groups.
, in fact, a complete line of defense has been formed relying on the Huai, Bian, and Si water systems.
Chen Hansan knew that Dayan had strong soldiers and horses, but he also doubted whether it could break through Huaisi's defense line in one fell swoop.
If the Huaiyang defense line cannot be broken through at once, a cruel tug-of-war will eventually form. As a new force, Chen Hansan also knows that they will not be able to escape the fate of fighting in the front line.
If he can pull this off, even if he can destroy Huaiyang Town, it will be a very dazzling pledge of honor - the key is to destroy the Huaisi front line, which can prevent him from taking out the elites he has accumulated over the years to fight against the enemy.
Huaidong fights consumption.
The key point is that the so-called fake surrender plan was just wishful thinking by Zhang Yubo and Yuan Hancheng, and they were just based on the trend. How could Huaidong be allowed to follow their plan?
Ma Zhen could see the hesitation in Chen Hansan's heart and said: "Even if the plan fails, it will not do any harm to us. It is just that the soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasty were sent into Xuzhou - Xuzhou is caught in the middle at this time, so the handsome man should go
Make up your mind, otherwise neither side will be able to get a deal!"
Chen Hansan frowned, and the clouds of war in the Hehuai River loomed over him. Although the Northern Dynasty repeatedly sent emissaries to tell him to surrender, he hesitated and did not make the final decision. It is not that he still has hope for the Vietnamese Dynasty, but he just does not want to surrender at this time.
In the past, he was driven by the Northern Dynasty to lead the battle, which consumed too much strength. He knew that even if he voted for Yanhu, if he wanted to be taken seriously, he had to have soldiers in hand! Otherwise, who would care about him as a horse thief and many times
A traitor general who rebelled and committed bad deeds?
However, when the Yan soldiers and horses arrived at Xuzhou City and surrendered, it was not "surrender" but "surrender".
Chen Hansan naturally knew how big the difference between "surrender" and "surrender" was, and this was exactly what he was most confused about.
Hearing what Ma Zhen said, Chen Hansan couldn't help but clenched his fists and thought to himself: The plan will not work, it is just surrendering in advance, what a hesitation for him!
Ma Zhen glanced at Chen Hansan's eyes and said: "If the plan is successful, the handsome man's achievements will be enough to stand alongside Yuan and Chen..."
Among the newly affiliated troops, Yuan Lishan and Chen Zhihu were the most famous, and Chen Hansan was satisfied to be able to stand side by side with them. However, he knew that he would not be able to stand side by side with Yuan and Chen if he just surrendered conservatively.
****************
Chen Hansan agreed to cooperate with Huaidong's plan to fake surrender, and specially sent Ma Zhen on his behalf to accompany Zhang Yubo to Huaiyang to meet with Lin Fu to discuss the details. The king of Chu, Yuan Hancheng, thought of it as a plan to ensure that Chen Hansan would not change his mind and to pacify him.
He deliberately stayed in the city of Xuzhou and refused to leave.
Zhang Yubo and Ma Zhen rushed to Huaiyang at night on the 18th to talk about the fake surrender. By chance, Liu Tingzhou was also in Huaiyang.
Liu Tingzhou came on behalf of Dong Yuan. He was relatively loyal to the Yuan family. He had cooperated with Yue Lengqiu before and now he had no problem cooperating with Dong Yuan.
During the banquet, Gao Zongting heard Zhang Yubo talk about the plan of false surrender, and Gao Zongting clapped his hands and praised: "This is a wonderful strategy. If we can lure some of the Yanlu troops and horses to outside Xuzhou City and annihilate them, the siege of Dongping may be solved."
…”
The first Huaiyang general, Malan, suddenly changed his expression. Regardless of Lin Fu's presence, Malan pushed his head on the table and stood up, saying: "Chen Hansan is a thief who cannot be trusted. Let's see how many of his own people have died since he became famous."
In his hands, Huaidong will never make the same mistakes again!"
Liu Tingzhou had a sullen face and remained silent, while Sun Zhuang couldn't hold himself back anymore and pointed at Ma Zhen's nose to scold him.
Lin Fu held the tea cup, slammed it on the long table, and said in a suppressed voice: "That's enough, today I am a minister in the same palace as Chen Shuai, how can there be any reason to talk about my colleagues behind their backs like this? Don't be too presumptuous!
"
Sun Zhuang was speechless after being trained and sat down in a muffled voice. Malan's face turned dark immediately. Although he and the Huaiyang generals had their hearts set on joining Huaidong, they had not yet formally surrendered. Lin Fu was so ruthless.
The reprimand made him very embarrassed.
Ma Zhen was secretly happy, and stood up to smooth things over, saying: "I have indeed been sorry for you all in the past, but I also had all kinds of helplessness and coercion. Chen Shuai is ill today. I will apologize to you on behalf of Chen Shuai."
, you can be scolded or beaten as you like, please do as you please. But today, when the foreign invaders invaded, Chen Shuai is really sincere, can't you all put aside your past grudges?"
Ma Zhen was like this, and the Huaiyang generals and Liu Tingzhou, who had been harmed by Chen Hansan repeatedly, never gave him a good look, and the banquet broke up unhappy.
After the banquet was over, Malantou did not go back to his residence. Instead, he, Li Liang and others took Sun Zhuang and went to Liu Miaozhen's house together.
Ma Lantou was scolded by Lin Fu and felt extremely uncomfortable. After drinking tea at Liu Miaozhen's house, his face was dark and gloomy.
Liu Miaozhen looked at Ma Lantou with a puzzled look on her face, and said with a loud laugh: "Master Ma is really narrow-minded - Mr. Lin and Mr. Gao came to Huaiyang, and their plan day and night was to guard against Chen Hansan, how could Zhang Yubo
, as soon as Ma Zhen came over and talked about it, did you believe it to be true?"
"Your Excellency has always respected Zhang Yubo. If Zhang Yubo can join forces to deceive Huaidong, don't you believe Chen Hansan?" Ma Lantou, who is usually steady, was also angry at this time.
At this moment, a guard came in to report Lin Fu's visit. After a while, the guard led Lin Fu, Gao Zongting, Ye Junan, Zhou Pu and others in.
When Lin Fu saw Malantou, Li Liang, Sun Zhuang and others were also here, he bowed to Malantou and said, "I guessed that Master Ma was here. What I said during the dinner was too harsh, so I came after him to apologize to Master Ma."
…”
Lin Fu's apology made Malantou so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say. The anger in his heart instantly disappeared. He stood up and returned the greeting, saying: "The general was indeed reckless at the banquet. He should be reprimanded..."
Liu Miaozhen gave up the main seat for Lin Fu to sit on, and she sat next to the long desk.
Lin Fu sat cross-legged and said: "It was indeed Zhang Yubo who first mentioned the plan of false surrender. Zhang Yubo has always been straightforward and trustworthy, but he has illusions about Chen Hansan. It is not difficult to understand that what we care about is Chen Hansan."
Is Han San sincerely cooperating or is he just playing tricks..."
"My lord, do you want to turn this around?" Ma Lantou had a deep grudge against Chen Hansan before, so he was furious and didn't think too much. After Lin Fu explained it like this, how could he still not understand it, because he didn't have a chance just now?
Feeling embarrassed about the resentment.
"It's not that simple!" Lin Fu shook his head and said, "Chen Hansan is in Xuzhou City and can't come out, so there's nothing we can do about him - but since Mr. Gao has said that this plan is brilliant, I have to cooperate with him no matter what.
Let’s go on with the acting first, which will cause Mr. Ma to be scolded by me for no reason…”
