Chapter 37 Siege (2)

At dusk.

Huang Zhen summoned everyone to come for a meeting, even the injured Liu Congxi came.

Huang Xun told the story about Zheng Chun in detail. Li Xun thought that it was such a great opportunity and everyone must have agreed with joy. However, what happened was far beyond Li Xun's expectation. Except for Mao Fu'an who agreed and Shan Qiu remained silent. Except for this, everyone else was opposed, with Zhan Tai Jingming’s attitude being the most intense.

"Then Zheng Chun is Zheng Ze's confidant general, and the two of them are related. He must have come here to pretend to surrender to us. How could the general be so gullible? It was really unwise to let him go."

Zhao Feidu always regarded Zhan Taijing as his leader, so he immediately echoed: "Why did the general let Zheng Chun go without discussing it with us? What's the rationale for this?"

What time was it now? How could Huang Zhen still have the mood to tolerate them? His face immediately darkened. He glanced at Zhan Tai Jingming and others and shouted sternly: "I am the Governor of Pingnan and the leader of the three armies. I don't need you to do anything." If you dare to do something like this again, I will deal with you according to military law."

Zhan Tai Jingming's face immediately darkened, but he was also shocked by Huang Zhu's momentum and did not dare to speak anymore for a while.

Huang Zhen looked questioningly at Qin Anming, who was silent. If what Zheng Chun said is true, sending troops to Yingzhou is indeed a God-given opportunity to solve the crisis in Jiangnan. If what Zheng Chun said is false, it is Fake surrender, isn't it like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?

Qin Anming thought for a moment and finally said: "I don't care about the army. If Liu Jianjun agrees with the general's move, I have no objection."

The tiger talisman is divided into two halves, one half is in Huang Zhen's hand, and the other half is in Liu Congxi's hand. As long as Liu Congxi is willing to take out the tiger talisman to echo Huang Zhen, Huang Zhen does not need to talk so much nonsense to Zhan Taijingming and others. It can be determined that the reason why Qin Anming was asked for his opinion first was because he had the highest civil servant rank here and was a close confidant of the emperor. If he expressed his approval of Huang Chong, Liu Congxi would probably not do the opposite.

The problem was finally handed over to Liu Congxi. There was a look of embarrassment on his face. He himself did not understand military affairs. The task given to him by the emperor was very simple, which was to monitor whether the marching route had deviated, whether the commanding generals had any abnormal behavior, and other He doesn't know how to care about it, and he can't care about it. Now, what Huang Zhuo is talking about is related to the outcome of the entire war and the life and death of everyone. How can he dare to express his position easily.

"General, this matter is very important. Can you let me think about it?"

There was a look of helplessness on Huang Zhi's face, and he sighed deeply and said, "Time waits for no one, so please make a decision quickly, Lord Supervisor."

We discussed and discussed, but in the end we broke up unhappy and couldn't make a decision.

Liu Congxi returned to his tent residence, and everyone went to visit him one after another, giving advice and expressing their opinions and positions.

Li Xun was wandering not far away. He was very hesitant and conflicted in his heart. Li Xun did not want to get involved in this muddy water. The outcome of this war actually had nothing to do with him. , since he was promoted to an official position, but he failed and was made a prisoner. With his status, Zheng Ze and others would not kill him. If he returned to Fengjing, he would still be a wealthy and wealthy individual. Wouldn't it be happier?

After all, it has been ten years since he came to this world. Li Xun has some understanding of the relationship between the central court and various vassal towns. If a military governor or general in a certain place leads an army to cause rebellion, the court will do its best to appease him. If the commotion is too big and cannot be calmed down, the only option is to send troops to quell the rebellion. If the imperial court wins, things will naturally calm down and those who caused the rebellion will be killed. If the governor or general of a certain place wins, things will get better. Accept it, write a letter to the court, and make a false apology, saying that you will not interfere with local government affairs and personnel transfers. As long as the court gives you a high-ranking official position and allows you to continue to support the army and respect the local area, you will selectively obey the court's orders. In the end, the court was unable to continue to quell the chaos, so it had to use the steps to come down and compromise with the other party.

Therefore, Li Xun could continue to hang out in the military camp without having to worry about anything.

This was Li Xun's original plan. Having been on the battlefield once and having such close contact with the God of Death, Li Xun had a deep fear and awe of death.

However, Li Xun hesitated in the end. He saw that when life and death were at stake, it was Huang Xun who stepped forward, fearless of life and death, knowing the age of destiny, charging at the forefront, and killing the enemy. At the critical moment, he wanted to fight to the death. Fight, save the war situation, and all this, what do you get in exchange? Everyone is still dissatisfied and disdainful. Thinking of this, Li Xun suddenly felt very sad in his heart, which made him feel very uncomfortable. He really couldn't understand that Huang Chong was like this. He is very old, the emperor does not trust him, and his subordinates are unwilling to accept or cooperate. With his title and salary, he can just live out the rest of his life comfortably in Fengjing. Why do he come out to accept this anger?

When night came, when everyone had already approached Liu Congxi to persuade him, Huang Zhen appeared last and walked slowly towards Liu Congxi's tent with a heavy face.

When Huang Xun passed by Li Xun, looking at Huang Xun's old and tired face, Li Xun finally couldn't help it and stopped him: "General."

Huang Xun stopped and looked at Li Xun silently.

Li Xun said silently: "I'll talk to Liu Congxi first. Maybe I can help the general."

"I know what they really think is that they are afraid that I will lead the troops to escape alone."

Huang Chun pursed his lips and said in a hoarse voice: "Tell the supervisor, I won't take any of the 5,000 Jingping cavalry and Mao Fu'an's 3,000 cavalry, and I don't need any of the five generals to go with me. If you stay in the military camp, you only need to give me 5,000 weak soldiers. The credit for taking Yingzhou belongs to everyone. If you fall into the trap, I, Huang Jian, am willing to sacrifice my life to make amends and will never involve them."

Li Xun's whole body was shaken, and he was shocked by Huang Zhuo's words. Is this the so-called righteousness?

"General, please wait outside. I will try my best to persuade Liu Congxi."

Li Xun nodded heavily and strode towards Liu Congxi's tent.

Walking into Liu Congxi's tent, he was sitting there drinking tea. His face was not good and his brows were furrowed. I don't know if it was caused by the pain in his leg or because he was worried by everyone's persuasion.

"Brother dog, you are here."

Liu Cong was happy to see Li Xun come in and nodded and said hello.

Li Xun silently walked up to Liu Congxi and asked aloud: "So many people come to you, I guess you have already made a decision in your heart."

Liu Congxi put down his tea cup, nodded and said: "General Zhan Taijingming is right. At this time, the enemy's situation is unclear. We should stay calm, wait for reinforcements to arrive, and then launch a massive counterattack. This is the safest way."

"If what Zheng Chun said is true and Zhao Bo'an leads the army to rescue, Jiangnan will be in danger. Wouldn't it be playing into the hands of Zheng Ze and others?"

Li Xun sneered and said: "Zhan Taijing is greedy for life and afraid of death, and Zhao Feidu is even more incompetent. Brother Liu, do you believe what they say?"
