Chapter eight hundred and thirteen different attitudes
"Ren Zhong never sent anyone to contact us, which is strange." Pei Zilie did not go too far. When the main team had already set foot on their way home, Pei Zilie stayed in Xiangyang, accompanied by Chen Zhishen.
On a hillside not far from the city, from here you can vaguely see the evolution of the battle situation below Xiangyang City.
Ren Zhong's troops launched the attack very quickly, which made Pei Zilie, Chen Zhishen and others have to praise him. After all, he is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years. When he senses an opportunity to take advantage of, he will directly kill him without mercy. This
Not everyone can learn to be ruthless.
However, Yuchikuan and Yuchishun were obviously not easy-going people. When they noticed Ren Zhong's formation method, they quickly deployed their formation in the direction where Ren Zhong's troops came from. The surrounding Northern Zhou army that had collapsed simply
Regardless, the two or three thousand soldiers and horses in the real core are enough to support the entire defense.
Arrows rose from the Northern Zhou army formation, and a large number of Nanchen soldiers fell down in an instant. However, the attack of the Nanchen army did not stop at all. After a while, it was like a tide sweeping over, hitting the rock heavily.
Chen Zhishen couldn't help but admired: "This Ren Zhong can be called 'brave' when attacking. This time Yu Chikuan and Yu Chi Shun are in trouble."
After a pause, Chen Zhishen stretched out his hand and pointed: "Especially the front of the Zhou people was obviously not ready to accept the impact. This time, the entire formation immediately sunk. Yuchikuan and Yuchishun did not retreat as before.
They wanted to lure the enemy deeper, but retreated to both sides, indicating that this time it was not because they wanted to plot, but because they really couldn't stop them."
Pei Zilie nodded slightly: "Ren Zhong has been on the battlefield for many years, and he should not be ignored in the future."
Chen Zhishen noticed the hidden meaning of Pei Zilie's words, and his voice was a little lower: "This time Ren Zhong has not responded to our overtures. The general feels that he just wants to prove his loyalty to the court, at least his current loyalty, or...
You have no intention of cooperating with us at all?"
"Loyal?" Pei Zilie smiled, noncommittal.
And Chen Zhishen scratched his head and felt that he had said the wrong thing. Yes, these generals were not really loyal to the Nanchen royal family. They were loyal to the Nanchen royal family just to give them orthodox status. They were really loyal to the Nanchen royal family.
It will always be your own family.
"But Ren Zhong..." Chen Zhishen suddenly thought of something and asked subconsciously.
Pei Zilie looked solemn, squinting slightly as he looked at the battle ahead, and murmured: "This old fox can afford to gamble."
Chen Zhishen was a little surprised, but he soon figured out what Pei Zilie meant.
Ren Zhong was born in poverty, and it was not until Hou Jing's Rebellion that he had the opportunity to stand out in troubled times. Therefore, the Ren family was definitely not considered an aristocratic family. Even at this point, it was just a group that had just escaped from a poor family. Even Xiao Mohe's Xiao
No one can compare with him. No matter what, Xiao Maha's ancestors all had official positions.
Therefore, for Ren Zhong, whoever can bring a better future to the Ren family is the one he should be loyal to. Now Xu Ling, Wu Mingche and others have supported generals such as Li Xingchen, Xiao Mohe and Chun Yuliang in private
The coming and going cannot be concealed. These wealthy families and newly rising aristocratic families have begun to move closer to Li Xinchen. If the Ren family takes the initiative to make friends with Li Xinchen at this time, they are just following the crowd.
Ren Zhong must be very clear about what the crucian carp crossing the river means. If the Ren family directly followed the other aristocratic families and turned to Li Xinchen, they would definitely still be suppressed as they are now. After all, the aristocratic families do not want to watch the rise of poor families.
, and the mutual strife between poor families is enough to squeeze out the Ren family, a small family that has just made a fortune.
Therefore, Ren Zhong wants to wait, wait for everyone to join him first, and wait until there are no more trustworthy people in the Nanchen court. That will naturally be the time for Ren Zhong to rise to prominence. After Ren Zhong reaches a high position, regardless of whether
It is a good choice to lead Nan Chen to seize the opportunity to turn defeat into victory, or to take advantage of this opportunity to sell himself at a good price.
At least it's better than falling to Li Xingchen with everyone now.
It's really scary to have such thoughts, because it means that Ren Zhong himself and the Ren family's meager family background will be weighed down by Li Xingchen's attitude later. But having said that, the big family is all about caution, and I'm afraid this is the only way to do it.
Only a poor family that has risen for a generation has this qualification. After all, even if it fails, it is just a waste of the efforts of a generation. If a big family fails, it will be a waste of more than ten generations and hundreds of years of management.
In history, when the Sui army attacked Jiankang City, Ren Zhong lied to Chen Shubao that he would escort Chen Shubao to break out. However, Chen Shubao sent people to greet him, but he only waited for Han Qinhu's army. It turned out that Ren Zhong was reporting
After killing Chen Shubao, he directly led the people to surrender and led Han Qinhu into the city. After that, he was awarded the third division of Kaifu Yitong and the heir of Fuze, which can be regarded as achieving the goal of making the Ren family glorious.
Chen Zhishen sighed: "This is a smart guy."
"It's all in your mind. The Marquis of Hanzhong will judge what's right and wrong when the time comes." Pei Zilie said coldly, obviously he didn't have much fondness for Ren Zhong, "At least I know that the Marquis of Hanzhong is still very accurate in judging people."
Chen Zhishen hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly. There was nothing to doubt about this.
"Okay, let's go." Pei Zilie waved his hand.
The situation below was no longer attractive. Ren Zhong easily swept away the defeated troops on the periphery, but there was nothing he could do for a short time against Yuchikuan and Yuchishun who had formed a defensive formation. Yuchishun and Yuchikuan respectively led their troops towards the Xiangyang City Wall.
direction to retreat, and the crossbows and trebuchets on the city waited until Ren Zhong's troops came into range and gave a greeting, forcing Ren Zhong to have no way to let go of his hands and feet to pursue, and it was inevitable to lead his troops to retreat.
However, there were only about 2,000 people left around Yuchi Shun and Yuchi Kuan. In other words, including Captain Chi Shun's previous rout, Ren Zhong's gains in this battle should be around 2,000 to 3,000, which is already a large number.
With great achievements, Ren Zhong will surely be satisfied.
"The Ren family is like this now. Who knows how many people will stand up against Shizhong?" Pei Zilie looked back at the battlefield and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
At this time, the sky has turned white, the darkness is receding little by little, and a new day is coming.
————————
"The last general will meet the Marquis of Hanzhong!" Chunyucen solemnly held his hand, and the slight pride on his face when he faced Cheng Feng had disappeared.
Facing a person like Li Xingchen, he really has nothing to be proud of, and he even has sincere admiration in his voice. From these words and deeds, it can be seen that the attitude of the Ren family and the Chunyu family towards Li Xingchen can be regarded as...
