Chapter 253 Support and betrayal are all in one thought

"The deal" Zhang Zhongjian said almost without thinking.

One hundred guan per piece, the price is actually not cheap. However, after the reaction of the escaped soldiers who survived the battle of Yanmen Pass, Zhang Zhongjian knew that the magical artifact in Chen Ying's hand that could burn and explode would break through the camp. It was very cost-effective to exchange a guan a piece of guan to a city.

In fact, Zhang Zhongjian didn't know that a hundred incendiary bomb could not conquer a city. To conquer a small city, it would take at least tens of hundreds, almost tens of thousands. However, the cities in Japan at this time were almost comparable to the villages in China, with a thousand people, and even the forts built by the powerful were far inferior to those built by the forts.

This was beyond Chen Ying's expectations. When he thought, when doing business, he paid attention to bidding everywhere and repaying the money by landing. However, Zhang Zhongjian did not even bargain.

Chen Ying also knew that at this time, the size of the city in Japan was very small. It was hard to say whether it could be repaid if it could be used to spend thousands of thousands of guan to spend a landlord's yard. Chen Ying decided to pay attention to mutual benefit, otherwise the transaction that only takes advantage but does not suffer losses will definitely not last long.

No one is a fool. If you are deceived once or twice, you will not be deceived forever. Chen Ying secretly decided that since that is the case, adding more ingredients to Zhang Zhongjian’s incendiary bombs will make the portion larger, and you can even make one hundred pounds per pound. Selling a pound of hot tincture should not be too expensive!

Chen Ying pondered: "Zhang Daxia Mingjian, this thing in Hell Fire is too tyrannical and is a thing that is born to nourish the earth. Because it is too sinister, God is unwilling to harm the world. Therefore, this general does not have any inventory in his hands, and the quantity will not be too large. A thousand pieces will take at least a period of time to find raw materials. After half a year of development and allocation, you will not be able to get the Hell Fire at the earliest! "

The name Fengqiu oil is really not worth a price of 100 cents per piece. So, with a sudden inspiration, Chen Ying gave the incendiary bomb a name - Hellfire. Of course, Chen Ying also admired himself. Hellfire, the name seems to be very appropriate.

Zhang Zhongjian was only heard about the power of gasoline, but he was also worried about the endless use of this thing. However, it is precisely because it cannot be used endlessly that it conforms to the way of heaven. Otherwise, once a large number of hellfires arrive on earth, it will be endless disasters for the earth.

Just as Chen Ying and Zhang Zhongjian reached a cooperation agreement and Zhang Zhongjian bought a thousand incendiary bombs called Hellfire from Chen Ying for a price of 100 coins, Luzhou City also ushered in its final moments.

After more than a month of encirclement, a very large pit was dug out by Xia soldiers at the foot of the city wall of Luzhou City. This pit was supported by countless hard woods. In fact, this was the real poaching corner.

In ancient wars, the city was either water attack, fire attack, or poaching corners. The speed of poaching corners was very good, but it could reduce the losses of the siege side. During the burning of the raging flames, the wood used to support the south gate of Lucheng Gate was slowly burning.

Suddenly, a deafening roar came from the foot of the Luzhou city wall. Soaked with tinder oil, the flames broke through the constraints of the ground and rushed out of the ground. As the burning wood chips and flames flew all over the sky, it looked like a volcano erupting... Xia Jun spent half a month digging a tunnel of more than one hundred long and wide, completely destroying the wall of Luzhou City, losing the support of the load-bearing beams and pillars. Luzhou City instantly collapsed more than 30 steps wide gaps.

Tens of thousands of Xia army soldiers made loud cheers, rushing towards Luzhou City like a tide, and wailing sounds sounded in Luzhou City. While the Xia army soldiers cheered wildly, they launched an attack on the Tang army defenders. Luzhou City instantly turned into a whirlpool of blood and fire. Without the protection of the city wall, it was only a matter of time before the city was captured. This process would not be too long. The end of Luzhou City has arrived.

The Xia army generals bowed to Wang Xiaohu and congratulated: "Congratulations to General Wang Lei, Luzhou City has finally been taken down, and the city of Xuzhou is ready to go all the time. The three towns in southern Jin have been under the military force of our Xia army, and our Xia army's great cause has gone further!"

Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "We will break the territory for Your Majesty. The people of Luzhou are His Majesty's people. They are the same. After entering the city, they are not allowed to rob, bully the elderly, weak, women and children, strong women and women, and harass the good people... The closer they are to victory, the more they must strictly grasp the military discipline."

The generals clasped their fists and said, "We obey the order!"

"The two armies fight and win on the battlefield. You are bound to be successful. Your Majesty will not treat anyone lightly, but..." Wang Xiaohu said lightly: "Whoever dares to violate the rules will kill him, and my mother has no mercy to say - killing without mercy."

The careful general suddenly found that the general seemed to be in a bad mood and looked at them in surprise. Then he saw that Wang Xiaohu had a hint of loneliness between his eyebrows and was always looking at the northwest.

...

On the bank of the Fen River, Li Jiancheng used only 10,000 troops to withstand the fierce attack of Dou Jiande's 100,000 troops. At this time, Dou Jiande, an iron-killed man, had already lost a lot of weight. The outline on his face became deeper, and it seemed like he was chopping out from a knife and axe. His lips were already broken, not because of lack of water, but because of the heat.

Right, get angry.

Dou Jiande was indeed anxious and became angry. As Chen Ying took Xingyang, he then turned to Luoyang, almost like a strong wind sweeping away the fallen leaves, and took Luoyang into his pocket. Over the past few days, Dou Jiande has not captured Li Jiancheng's defense line. Not only did he not capture Li Jiancheng's camp on the Fenhe River, but he received one after another bad news.

"Tang general Chen Ying conquered Luoyang, surrendered to Wang Xuanying below, and more than 50,000 civil servants surrendered!"

"Tang general Chen Ying defeated Zheng general Zhao Shangzhi."

"General Zheng Zunjun Yun Shide surrendered to Chen Ying!"

"Wang Shichong was captured by Tang general Hou Mo Chenxu!"

In fact, Ling Jing's appearance was not much better. Not only did he look haggard, but his scholar's shirt was dirty and smelly. It turned out that the gentle and happy face of the fox had long disappeared.

As an ally, Wang Shichong was like Italy in later generations, specifically cheating his teammates. Hitler once said that he could conquer Italy with five divisions, but he had to use twenty divisions to help Italy stabilize its defense line.

If Dou Jiande directly destroyed Wang Shichong and defended Hangu Pass alone, it would be unlikely that the Tang Kingdom would advance eastward. However, Wang Shichong was quickly defeated in just over five months. At this time, Wang Shichong had already become a prisoner of the Tang army, and the army led by Wang Shiyun might not last long.

Dou Jiande raised the teacup, watched the tea color rise and fall, and his mind flew back to the country.

At this moment, he no longer had the heart to think about the matter between Zhongyuan and Wang Shichong. This time he was in charge of the army. Song Zhengben was in charge of Leshou City. Song Zhengben was very capable. He did a good job of reclaiming wasteland in China and restoring production. Moreover, in extreme difficulties, he also sent him another 50,000 new forces of Hebei children.

At this time, Hebei united, just like the Hebei people united around Gao Huan to confront Yuwen Tai. To put it bluntly, this struggle is the Hebei aristocratic families and wealthy families who hope to get rid of the narrow local area of ​​Hebei. They all came to the news and gathered all kinds of forces contained in the Xia Dynasty and began to fight for the national destiny in the next twenty years!

The future of Xia Kingdom will surely become the center of politics in Hebei, so as to agree with the interests of Hebei wealthy families and aristocratic families (the land of the capital is ten times more important than the surrounding areas in any era). Now that it is at this deadly critical moment, it is the inevitable path for the Hebei aristocratic families and aristocratic families to work tirelessly to get rid of their political marginalized destiny for thirty years!

Even though they snatched the wealth and food of the Zheng family and tore their faces with the Zheng family, these Hebei aristocratic tribes stood on Dou Jiande's side without hesitation when they saw that Dou Jiande had the capital to divide the world.

The change in attitude of the Hebei aristocratic family caught Dou Jiande off guard.

There is no doubt that the huge transformation of the Hebei clans was very beneficial to Dou Jiande. With the support of various major families and powerful people, inexplicably strange people emerged, and all kinds of messy self-reliance warriors (that are the landlord armed forces of the later generations of rural bravery, gathered under his royal flag one after another.

At this moment, a thought even emerged in Dou Jiande's mind.

Could it be that I am really destined to be?

In fact, the Hebei aristocratic tribes and aristocratic families received news that more than 300,000 troops of the Turkic Khan went south. Dou Jiande had a good relationship with Princess Yicheng of the Turkic. It was obvious that the Turkic would not attack the Xia Kingdom, and the only one in the world that had become a fire with the Turkic power was the Tang Kingdom.

More than 300,000 Turkic cavalry were the forces that Li Tang could not resist, so all the advantages that Li Tang had instantly disappeared.

Just then, a burst of rapid footsteps came.

Ling Jing hurriedly received a secret letter and took out a note from the seal. Ling Jing exclaimed: "Your Majesty, is Wang Shichong dead?"

"Wang Shichong is dead?" Dou Jiande said happily: "God helps me!"

Ling Jing hesitated and said, "But Wang Shiyun may not last long!"

"It's okay!" Dou Jiande smiled and said, "As long as Wang Shichong's family is not dead, he will choose a king and succeed Wang Shichong as the king of Zheng. He will also support me and also support Zheng!"

In Dou Jiande's view, Wang Shichong is dead.

Li Tang would definitely be passive because there were many princes who wanted to surrender to Li Tang, such as Luo Yi, the general manager of Youzhou, and Du Fuwei, the general manager of Jianghuai. Don’t they consider the fate of Wang Shichong? It can be said that the news of Wang Shichong’s death will soon be a bad consequence.

Dou Jiande even had a crazy idea to contact all the princes in the world and raise troops to attack the Tang Dynasty.

"Ling Qing, how will Luo Yi and Du Fuwei react when they get this news?" Dou Jiande smiled happily and said: "Will they consider opposing the Tang Dynasty?"
