Cao Shen looked at the middle-aged man who was full of gratitude and wished to say thank you, his eyelids twitched involuntarily.

I have to admire that my lord's understanding of people's hearts is simply too powerful.

It is obvious that his own adults are the ones behind the scenes. With the help of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's swords, these aristocratic families and squires who once colluded with Xiang Yu were eliminated.

Now I can still let the other party come to help Xia Jun. While cooperating inside and outside to quell the rebellion, I am also full of gratitude, thank you.

This scene of being sold and helping to count the money makes people's scalp tingle for a while. Fortunately, my personality is usually lazy and I don't like calculating people very much. Otherwise, anyone who stares at my lord will have a bad end. what.

Chapter 330 Nine Tigers Falling In Pingyang

The night is getting darker, outside the city.

Tens of thousands of Xia soldiers, holding spears and holding the reins tightly, rode on the horses. The mouths of the horses were covered with hoods, so they couldn't make a sound, but snorted from time to time, as if they were waiting for something.

Accompanied by Fan Kuai and others, Bai Su stood on a high slope, looking at the city in the distance.

The bonfire on the top of the city in the distance flickered, and the guards could be seen yawning lazily, obviously very tired.

Soon it was time to change shifts.

Under the leadership of a thin young man, he took over the city defense, and everyone retreated one after another.

After the young man saw Chen Sheng's old department gradually going away, he looked back at the dense night outside the city, and gestured to the people around him.

The bonfire on the tower was quickly extinguished, and soon after, the torch was raised and kept shaking, obviously signaling.

At the same time, the city gate slowly opened.

Seeing this, Bai Su's mouth curled up slightly, and he nodded to Fan Kui and the others.

Fan Kuai got on his horse, pulled out his sword from his waist, and led a group of cavalry behind him, outflanking them left and right, and rushed towards the city.

These thousands of cavalry were elite soldiers who followed Meng Tian and had once conquered the Xiongnu in the north. These people were extremely skilled, even more powerful than the cavalry of the Xiongnu.

Now, under the cover of the night, it took less than a while to enter the city.

Although some of Chen Sheng's generals found that something was wrong, they wanted to gather troops and build a defense.

But facing Xia Jun, who had experienced many battles, after losing the protection of the city, he couldn't stop him head-on.

I saw Xia Jun's cavalry carrying bows and crossbows. At a distance of thirty steps, they pulled the crossbows instantly, and a light arrow shot out quickly, piercing the general's neck all at once.

Before the general could shout out, he fell down.

Chen Sheng's army was originally a group of mobs, but now after seeing the death of the main general, it became even more chaotic, and it was not long before they were smashed by the oncoming cavalry.

Many people put down their weapons one after another, allowing Xicheng to be taken over by Xia Jun.

But Fan Kui didn't stop at all, and ran all the way towards the palace where Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were located.

.......

.......

in the palace.

"This group of damned aristocratic families are indeed a group of disasters. They all say they have no money and no food, but this copy has copied several months of food, and there are countless money, Bujuan..."

Chen Sheng looked at the boxes of copper coins and jewelry piled up in front of him, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, and his eyes were straight.

Wu Guang held a list and said, "It's not all. In addition to money, cloth, and grain, we also found a lot of spices, blue and white porcelain, and tea."

Chen Sheng said with a smile: "These things are not only enough to sustain us for a few months, but also enough for us to continue recruiting."

Wu Guang frowned slightly, not so optimistic.

He couldn't help but asked: "But in this way, we have completely torn our faces with the aristocratic family. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to achieve great things in the future."

Chen Sheng said nonchalantly: "Anyway, our uprising is not to really overthrow Great Xia. Xianyang has millions of soldiers. If we really force ourselves to attack Guanzhong, ten of us are not enough for the opponent to fight. We only need to unite with Chu State. As a thorn, it can be temporarily embedded here."

"When Xiang Yu overthrows Great Xia in the future and distributes the land of the Central Plains among the heroes, we only need to separate one side and make the land king."

Wu Guang opened his mouth when he heard this, but he didn't say much in the end.

After all, the two of them didn't want to restore the Six Kingdoms, but simply wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains, so as to occupy one side and become a king of the mountain.

As for the general trend of the world, it has nothing to do with them.

Chen Sheng asked suddenly: "By the way, is Bai Su making any moves now?"

Wu Guang shook his head slightly, and said, "According to the report from the spies, after going south, Bai Su has been staying in the city for seven or eight days without any action."

Chen Sheng couldn't help but sneered and said: "I once heard that this person is the number one genius in the world, with the reputation of ruling the world with a pen and setting the world by riding a horse, but now it seems that the name is not worthy of the name."

Just as Wu Guang was about to open his mouth, there was a sudden commotion outside.

"what happened?"

Wu Guangda shouted, and the guards outside immediately ran in, bowed and said.

"Boss, it's suddenly very chaotic outside, and we can't figure out the situation for a while."

Wu Guang gritted his teeth and said, "Go, go and find out immediately, what happened!"

After all, due to the news of the food shortage in the city right now, coupled with offending the aristocratic family, people are already in panic. If there is a little change at this time, it is likely that the team that did not have much morale will completely disperse.

"Yes……"

The guard turned and left.

It took about a stick of incense before he came back. At the same time, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his face was pale.

Chen Sheng couldn't believe it: "This...it's impossible. The city is more than seven feet high, and the walls are extremely thick. Even if Xia's army has 20 troops, it will not be able to take it down within three to five months. How could Xia's army enter the city? ?”

Wu Guang on the side also frowned, a little skeptical about the news,

After all, Bai Su only had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, how could he easily capture a city guarded by [-] troops overnight without giving them any time to react.

The guard smiled wryly and said, "It's all the Gao clan of the Qi State. They colluded with Xia Jun and quietly opened the city gate from the inside while we were changing defenses. The inside and the outside cooperated, which allowed Xia Jun to easily enter the city."

"Our army hasn't realized what's going on, most of the city has fallen, and now the Xia army has come to kill us, boss, run now, if you don't run, it will be too late."

Chen Sheng gritted his teeth tightly: "This damn Gao, I should have killed them all at the beginning, and I shouldn't have shown mercy to them."

Wu Guang sighed and said: "It's too late to regret it now, we were already hard to be Xia Jun's opponent, and now we are caught off guard by the opponent, we should pack up and leave as soon as possible, as the saying goes, keep the green hills alive Worry about no firewood."

Chen Sheng reacted suddenly when he heard the words, and hurriedly ordered: "Quick... quickly help me take these soft things out together, let's go quickly."

He commanded a group of guards outside the door, hurriedly put the gold and silver in the house into the carriage, and prepared to leave.

The groom couldn't help asking: "Boss, where are we going..."

Chen Sheng thought for a while, and then said: "Let's go to Xiang Yu. Now there are a lot of soft goods in this car, which can be used as a meeting gift. Let Xiang Yu take me in, so as to borrow troops from Chu State, and find a chance to make a comeback."

Wu Guang on the side also nodded, obviously agreeing with his point of view.

Chen Sheng turned his head and looked into the distance. A layer of cold sweat broke out on the forehead of Xicheng, which had already burned the sky red, and he hurriedly ordered: "Go quickly."

"The villain knows."

The coachman nodded and lifted the reins. While Chen Sheng and Wu Guang breathed a sigh of relief, they didn't notice.

The coachman and the guard next to him looked at each other quietly after seeing a cart full of gold and silver, and the boss who had been a good man in the past, now with only a few followers around him, and a strange look flashed in their eyes.

Chapter 340 Concubine Yu Don't Go, Okay, I'll Support You

The sun rises from the sky, the morning light shines, the halo is thin, and the earth is in a mess.

Bai Su rode his horse to a high slope, turned over and got off the horse. It was a bit cold in the morning at this time. Feeling the cold hands, he rubbed them together and let out a "ha" breath, exhaling a stream of white mist.

Looking back, Chen Sheng's king's flags were everywhere on the battlefield, and they were already scattered on the ground, trampled into mud by horseshoes.

Last night, Xia's army of nearly [-] fought hard and defeated Chen Sheng's [-] army. Now the defeated army is scattered, and Fan Kui is leading the army to chase and kill the remnants.

Cao Shen also began to send people to build shacks in various parts of the city and serve rice porridge on the spot. The mob who didn't have much will to resist put down their weapons one after another and began to surrender.

For a while, because too many people surrendered, Xia Jun's offensive could not help but slow down a bit.

The person who surrendered took longer than the person who fought head-on, which made many people dumbfounded.

Having won such an important victory, Bai Su didn't feel much joy in his heart.

Because this is just a side dish, and Xiang Yu in the back is the real hard dish.

Although judging from the information on paper alone, he currently has a considerable advantage, but facing Han Xin and Xiang Yu, two monsters that cannot be measured by common sense, it is better to be cautious.

You must not gamble all your chips on stud just because of a temporary victory.

Otherwise, as long as you are a little careless, you may repeat the mistakes of Prime Minister Cao.

The family wealth accumulated over the years was instantly burned, and thereafter he would no longer be able to unify the Central Plains for the rest of his life, and could only watch helplessly as the two sides rowed across the river.

Just as he was contemplating, a fast horse approached, very conspicuous in this secluded battlefield.

Looking up, he saw Fan Kuai riding a good horse.

She quickly came to Bai Su's side, got off the horse, cupped her hands and said, "My lord..."

Bai Su asked, "Is there any news about Chen Sheng and Wu Guang?"

Last night, he was one step late in attacking the city, and Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, who were the leader of the bandits, escaped, which made Bai Su feel a pity for a while.

After all, the next step is to face off with Xiang Yu, and he naturally doesn't want any uneasy factors to appear in the rear.

Fan Kui smiled and said: "Although the last general failed to catch Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, you don't have to worry about it, my lord."

Bai Su was taken aback for a moment, and asked curiously, "Why?"

Fan Kuai said, "Because they are already dead, at the hands of the coachman beside me."

"Car... the driver?"

Bai Su couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

Fan Kuai chuckled and told the whole story slowly.

It turned out that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were planning to flee to Chu, hoping to make a comeback with Xiang Yu's support, but unexpectedly, the belongings they carried in the carriage aroused the covetousness of the grooms and guards.

After all, this group of people was originally a group of prisoners, and they had no martial arts virtues.

Seeing the downcast appearance of the once high-ranking boss, they suddenly became greedy, so they killed him and robbed the money at night when the two of them were sleeping soundly.

The princes of the past party disappeared in smoke.

Hearing this, Bai Su sighed for a moment.

Sure enough, not everyone can be like Liu Ji and Liu Bei. After being defeated and having nothing, there is still a group of backbones around them, who will follow them to the death and start all over again.

Human heart is something that not everyone can have.

Fan Kuai couldn't help asking: "My lord, what should we do next?"

Bai Su looked at the street in the distance, and said in thought: "According to the time, the envoy should have almost arrived at the Wei and Han coalition forces. When the envoy returns, it will be the day when we go south and make a break with Xiang Yu."

Fan Kuai's slender eyebrows couldn't help but frown slightly: "My lord, we have won a series of victories now, and it is the time when our morale is boosted. Why should we be so careful."

Bai Su glanced at her and couldn't help sighing: "No way, we seem to have a million troops, but more than half of them are stationed in various border areas, some in the Western Regions, some outside the Great Wall, and some in Liaodong. ..."

"We don't really have many soldiers and horses that we can use to go south. Besides, Xiang Yu can't be described with common sense. If we want to deal with her, we must fight her hard and never give her the slightest breath. Chance."

"For this, we must be fully prepared. Commanding an army of tens of thousands depends on morale, commanding an army of [-] depends on logistics, and commanding an army of one million depends on the aspirations of the people and the general trend of the world."

"Only by overwhelming others with power can we be invincible."

Fan Kui nodded his head half-understood.

Although with her comprehension ability, she couldn't understand what it meant for a while, but it felt like she was very powerful.

......

......

"Xia Envoy met King Wei, King Han..."

He bowed his hands and bowed. Chen Ping in the big tent was wearing a black court dress, and looked no different from ordinary officials.

This time, as Bai Su's envoy, she was ordered to persuade Wei Bao not to intervene with Han Wangxin. The decisive battle between Xia Jun and Chu Jun should at least be before defeating Xiang Yu.

Wei Bao glanced at Chen Ping, the unknown little official in front of him didn't attract much attention from her.

She took the letter of credence from Chen Ping's hand, looked down, and couldn't help showing a look of surprise on her face: "Oh, you Daxia want to have peace talks with me?"

Han Wangxin's black and white pupils at the side couldn't help but be half astonished.
