Chapter 95 Showdown
Chapter 94 Showdown
In the territory of Beiyuanjing, Hengwuzhuang, which belongs to the public domain, has already been planted with blue and white two-color swallow pattern flags representing the residence of the Chen family from Tieshan County, Shuozhou.As for the landowners and village chiefs who belonged to the village, there are many households and subordinates who either fled or were arrested and served in the army.

Therefore, as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces this time, Chen Dingfan, the patriarch and patriarch of the Chen family, the founding son of the world, and the official worship of Dr. Taichang, Chen Dingfan also unceremoniously occupied it. Hastily arranged with silk curtains and carpets, barely in line with the luxurious Chinese army.

Then, all kinds of servants, attendants, doctors, Jiyue, and concubines who came with them also settled in one after another, arranged the household furnishings, and held various daily utensils, zithers, and silk bamboos. Welcome him to stay and stay temporarily.

In terms of the origin of the mansion, the Chen family's mansion does not actually have a prominent history.It is neither the branch that the Zhongtu family moved in, nor the native county governor with a long history; it can only barely touch the side of the general.

Because the ancestors of the Chen family's mansion were originally only in the Qianyuan and Taixing years; Li Wumu, the hero of Ping Liao, and Li Guangbi, the king of Linhuai County, were born as a servant of the Xi clan of the Li family in Liucheng; because of the savior before the battle, And support as a follower and family general, this is the surname bestowed.

Later, with the end of Silla King Jin's offering of soil, and with many Tang soldiers under Xue's command, he crossed the two Liaos and conquered the land of Haidong.Therefore, after killing and pacifying those rebellious parties and thieves in Silla, these soldiers took advantage of the situation to divide up the vassals and grant lands on the spot, and regarded them as one of the external screens of the Celestial Dynasty.

Among them, the ordinary soldiers who settled down were awarded farms and attached households, and married the village chiefs of the Tu nationality, which became the origin of many feudal vassals.And together with the subordinates of many generals and schools who served as subordinates, city chiefs, and city lords, they continued to serve the vassal lords who were transformed from the original generals.

And the Xue family is undoubtedly the leader among them, able to occupy the vast public domain headed by Wang Jiwujing, and occupy and command the Haidong group vassals on behalf of the upper kingdom of the Celestial Dynasty.It was not until many generations later that it was too weak to return, and then amidst internal and external troubles, the enemies of Fusang who came across the sea smashed most of the mountains and rivers in one fell swoop.

And after a long period of time passed down from generation to generation, the families of these sub-vassals and ministers naturally had their ups and downs, and even became extinct or were expelled due to this.The feudal mansion is limited to the Chen family in Tieshan County, although it is not as good as the Shi family who spanned the three counties, and was known as one of the sixteen wings of the prominent generals back then.

However, due to proper management and well-balanced balance, there were few losses in conflicts and negotiations with the Zuojin feudal clan, and they continued to expropriate and expand the territory of the mountains and fields from the hands of the Tu people in the northern border; in fact, the specific strength and cohesion were even better. The mansion has Shi's family scattered in the three counties.

However, as a family member of close ministers, the Shi family has been able to occupy high positions and beautiful positions in the courts of the princes and kings for generations, which is far from being comparable to the feudal lord of the Chen family who only has the vacant title of Taichang doctor.However, now there is another huge opportunity and benefit that seems to be at your fingertips, which is placed in front of him.

In fact, since the office has gradually shown decline and decline.These feudal families with foreign surnames in places far away from the capital began to invade and occupy the mountains and forests to which the public domain belonged;

However, it was the first time for someone like Shi and Chen to openly raise the banner of fighting against the government regardless of all costs and influences.To say that Chen Dingfan, who is the leader, doesn't have any nervousness or speculation in his heart, that determination is false.

However, the huge benefits from reality are tempting and driving him to take this step; even if he takes this step, he may become the leader of the northern vassals, or just make a wedding dress for others as the king precursor.

Because, long before the son's northern tour, Shi Mihong, who was the left behind minister, had already started planning to unite the various families in the northern border to fight against the enemy; Prepare to enter the situation of Beiyuanjing's repression.

It's just that the situation changed suddenly overnight, a group of important ministers and officials headed by Shi Mihong, together with relatives and cronies in Beiyuan capital, all died suddenly at the hands of the son of the supervisor.Only Mrs. Chen and her young children escaped desperately, but Chen Dingfan took a huge advantage.

Because, of course, he didn't have much affection and recognition for Shi's half-sister who was married to him; but he had a strong interest in and thoughts about the Shi's mansion left behind by Shi Mihong, the left-behind minister of the northern capital; The authority and status represented by Beiyuan Jinguai are full of expectations.

Therefore, in order to gain an advantage and a dominant position among the two coalition forces, this time the Chen Clan went out with all their pockets.Not only mobilized 21 family generals and clan soldiers from the mansion, but also mobilized and recruited Yu Ding from seven branch families, [-] surnamed ministers, and [-] vassals.

In the end, 7000 people were recruited in a short period of time, occupying less than half of the coalition army's strength; it just overwhelmed the [-] men and horses led by Shi Mihong's only surviving son and son-in-law from Shi's mansion, which was enough Suppress the other seventeen families with various backgrounds.

Although, because he collected the financial and material resources of the two major feudal clans, and collected the treasury of the states and counties along the way, only half of them were able to get armor, while the rest were just armed white soldiers.But in the face of the Beiyuan capital, the remaining palace troops, guards and robber soldiers after the civil strife are still quite confident.

What's more, they can justifiably plunder the princes and the counties and towns along the way on the grounds of crusade against usurpers.Constantly supplement and expand their momentum.As long as there are enough forerunners and gullies (cannon fodder) to exhaust the strength of the defenders, the next step will be a matter of course.

Furthermore, as a condition for raising troops to revenge and crusade against usurpers.He also struck a deal with survivors of the Shi family.After the war, arrange for a son to adopt Mrs. Chen's name, and then marry Shi's daughter; thus inherit Shi's family and surname, so as to suppress those dissident voices.

As the only surviving youngest son of the Shi family, Shi Bangbi, who was only a concubine from another house, married the daughter of the Chen family on the spot after giving up his claim to inherit the mansion.Then, with the full support of the Chen family and the Shi family, they justifiably entered the Beiyuan Jingliu Division and reopened a family relationship.

In fact, as a condition for raising troops to aid in the war or passing through the border, all the official positions inside and outside Beiyuan capital were divided up in advance or secretly promised to go out; they were waiting for the moment when the soldiers came to the city and the fruit came to fruition.However, there is a final battle before that.

Therefore, when the Chinese army headed by the Chen family set up tents in Hengwuzhuang.The first ones to greet us were not the generals and subordinates who reported the military situation, but the leaders of the coalition forces who came to visit, request and negotiate corresponding matters in an endless stream; there were even secret representatives from Beiyuanjing.

And these secret visitors not only brought all kinds of events and news that happened in Beiyuan Beijing; they also made Chen Dingfan preliminarily confirm that he was recruiting young men from the city and recruiting guards from various families; The surrounding feudal clans, guards, and military officials who were loyal to the government came to support them, and it was determined to defend the city.

So after nightfall, you can see it even if you are far away; surrounded by numerous camps and simple fortresses with mottled and chaotic colors, among the many building complexes belonging to Hengwuzhuang, there are brightly lit banquet halls. A lot of movement.

"This is too slack and negligent. You must learn a lesson. These people have lived in peace for a long time. If they indulge in ease, they will inevitably die in ease."

And on a low hill under the cover of night, Jiang Tian, ​​who was watching this scene from a distance, also said to the little round face beside him:
"Of course, you did a good job when you swore a teacher in the city before. If you want to deceive the enemy, you must first be able to deceive your own people; especially in such a situation where people's hearts are not stable and the enemy and us are unknown; It worked wonders."

On the other side of the low hill behind them, countless soldiers and soldiers in brown robes with black scales were quietly and neatly carrying weapons and flags, sitting on the ground eating and drinking.It's like a piece of mist that pervades and shrouds the earth.

Apart from the rustling of the wind through the treetops, the only sound left was their swallowing.And in the farther Beiyuan capital.The guards stationed at the various gates also opened the city gates one after another in the night, those dressed in black and armored, and holding sticks with open flames continued to line up.

"Just waiting for the final order."

And Ye Jing, who was the leader and supervisor of the battle, also raised his arms and said to them:
"The comprehensiveness of the elders and family members in the city, and the success or failure of the great cause of Taiwan, all depend on one stroke!"
