Chapter 880 Secret Covenant Alliance!
There is a distinguished guest in Cao Xuanhua's tent today. This distinguished guest is no one else, but is Su Zhi, the general of the south who was ordered to go north by Long Lingxiu.
After Su Zhi was begged by Jiangnan, she went north to the Central Plains. After several encounters, she could only surrender to Long Lingxiu. Now he went north as the special envoy of Long Lingxiu. He originally thought that the journey would be very miserable and difficult.
What he didn't expect was that he secretly went north and there were people receiving him along the way, and all the hospitality was very attentive, which made his originally decayed heart rekindled.
Long Lingxiu is not simple, she has already made arrangements! Since this is the case, there is a great chance of going north this time. Maybe Lu Zheng will be restrained or even frustrated!
When Su Zhi thought that Lu Zheng was about to leave Maicheng, he was quite excited. He was really afraid of Lu Zheng. He couldn't imagine what the outcome of Su Zhi would be after Lu Zheng took down the Central Plains.
So for Su Zhi, as long as he can defeat Lu Zheng, he can do anything. Just now, Long Lingxiu sent a letter to Fei Ge, making him try his best to win over Cao Weiming, and grant him the right to be arbitrary on the occasion, and informed him that he was responsible for all the matters in the northern negotiations.
This made Su Zhi suddenly feel that she had power. The north was very big, especially in the northwest. Wensong of the Northwest Song was also a hero, and Cao Weiming whom he was facing now was not an easy person.
These people need to be both encircled and guarded. At present, Lu Zheng's army is approaching, so they naturally need to be encircled these people. However, whether it is encircled or guarded, Su Zhi now has all the power to make decisions, which is enough to make Su Zhi feel excited and inflated.
Look at Cao Xuanhua, the best juniors of the Cao family, are now respectful to Su Zhi, which makes Su Zhi feel even more satisfied with his vanity. By the time he met Cao Weiming, he was already full of confidence.
When Cao Weiming saw him, he saluted at him: "Hebei General Cao Weiming has seen General Su!"
Su Zhi laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you are so kind. I heard your reputation when I was in Jiangnan. Unfortunately, I have always been missing. Today, I am a hero!
It’s a pity that you have been captured by the surname Lu this time, and are currently trapped here. Otherwise, the prince will definitely be more charming!"
Cao Weiming raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "General Su, the matter has reached this point, so please don't be polite. Now I don't know if General Su can have a good idea to help me get out of trouble!"
Su Zhi smiled and said, "The prince seems to be an impatient person! Well, Su is here to be the order of the eldest princess. The eldest princess said that Su has the power to arbitrarily in northern affairs. To be honest, Su's destination is in the northwest. Song Wensong, the main force in the northwest, then quickly goes south and attacks Lu Zheng from north to south, so that Lu Zheng cannot take into account both front and back, thus traveling to Maicheng in the Central Plains!
It was a coincidence that we could see the prince here, by chance! Prince, I won’t ask about other things. I just ask the prince, is the prince loyal to the eldest princess?"
Cao Weiming was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer. Cao Weiming was under the guise of supporting the Daqian Dynasty, but the Daqian Dynasty's Majesty was Long Zhaoyan. Can he say that he was loyal to Long Lingxiu?
He pondered for a moment, after all, his mind was turning fast. He quickly thought that he had no way to break through now. If he could not survive this disaster, he would be over soon and would have lost his life. What ambition and future are there?
In addition, Cao Weiming thought that he had reached this point. If Long Lingxiu really had the strength to get him out of trouble, then why would he have followed Long Lingxiu?
With this in mind, he said, "General Su, don't know what tricks the general can have to solve the siege at this time? If the general can have a good plan, I, Cao Weiming, can always be loyal to His Highness the eldest princess, and only His Highness the eldest princess will follow his horse!"
Su Zhi laughed and said, "Okay, General Cao said this! Since that's the case, please hand over the military talisman first. As long as the general handed over the military talisman, this matter will be included in me!"
Cao Weiming's face changed and said, "General Su, you are too anxious! Could it be that the general will rely on empty words and white teeth to let Cao Weiming hand over tens of thousands of troops to the general?"
Su Zhi snorted coldly and said, "Why did General Cao slap the fat man like this? In fact, the general knows that the tens of thousands of people under your command will soon become tens of thousands of mouths that are about to eat people!
If the general can't give them a way out at this time, they are afraid that they will swallow you whole and eat it. At this time, why are you still so entangled with that military talisman?"
Su Zhi paused and said, "Let me do this, I have a compromise idea. You can leave the military talisman to Xuanhua, and you go to the northwest with me! How can the army let Xuanhua master it?"
Cao Weiming's face became more and more gloomy. He looked at his nephew and knew in his heart that his nephew, who had always been loyal, was actually not his person anymore. Over the years, people were working on the matter with Long Lingxiu, the woman!
With this in mind, he was even more vigilant about the woman Long Lingxiu. Cao Xuanhua has not shown any abnormality in so many years, which shows that Long Lingxiu's layout is very long-term. At the critical moment, Cao Xuanhua made efforts and got the Cao family's troops!
In fact, Cao Weiming is really desperate now. Su Zhi is right. His 20,000 troops are no longer powerful, and they will become burdens in an instant.
Even without Su Zhi coming, Cao Weiming cannot advance or retreat. In a dilemma, he can only sneak away by himself. As for the life and death of these tens of thousands of people, how could he care about it?
Keep the green mountains without worrying about burning firewood, it is important to save your life at critical moments...
The atmosphere in the entire tent became quite strange, extremely quiet, almost at the sound of falling needles. The night outside was deep and silent. The military tent of tens of thousands of people was silent, without any sound.
Such tranquility is rare and precious, but can everyone really fall asleep in such a quiet night? How many people are unable to fall asleep today?
Cao Weiming suddenly sighed and said, "Most of my soldiers are my children from Hebei. They were brought out from Hebei. They have parents, wives, brothers and sisters at home! If everyone is ruined here, what is my face like Cao Weiming?
OK, Xuanhua, I will hand over this army to you! I hope you can take this army out!"
Cao Xuanhua was stunned for a moment, then knelt down and burst into tears, saying, "Xuanhua must have let down his uncle's painstaking efforts!"
Su Zhi laughed and said, "Okay, General Cao is indeed a decisive and decisive person. Since that's the case, I can tell the general that the way out of the Hebei army is in Bingzhou!"
Su Zhi pointed to Bingzhou and pointed it fiercely. Cao Weiming said: "General Su, Bingzhou is not so easy to break! Bingzhou guard Li Xiu is one of the eight great kings under Lu Zheng! The key is that Bingzhou is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Not to mention 20,000 troops, even if my troops double again, I can't be sure!"
Su Zhi smiled and said, "General, don't panic, please listen to me slowly! It is naturally not easy to use 20,000 Hebei troops to seize Bingzhou, but since we go to the northwest to help Song Wensong, our first condition is that Song Wensong must immediately resolve the danger of Bingzhou!
Song Wensong is now strong and has at least 50,000 elite troops in his hands. As long as he quickly goes south to Bingzhou and we attack on both sides, can Li Xiu just over 10,000 troops be blocked?
Once we take down Bingzhou, we will open the gateway to the northwest, and we will help Song Wensong unify the northwest. By that time, there will be air leakage behind Lu Zheng's butt, and Liaodong and Central Plains will be cut in half from the middle. I am afraid that Lu Zheng's struggle for the Central Plains will become impossible!"
Su Zhi talked freely, and his expression really pointed out the world, not to mention how proud it was. Cao Weiming nodded secretly when he heard this. In fact, Su Zhi said this, and he had no idea whether he could be. But for Cao Weiming in this matter, he was already in a state of complete despair. In this state, a person often only needs a glimmer of hope and a life-saving straw to make him feel great hope. Now Cao Weiming is in this situation.
The three of them agreed. The next morning, Cao Weiming immediately summoned officers at all levels above the lieutenant to enter the account to discuss the matter. This time, Cao Weiming had a decadent attitude and immediately said:
"Dear brothers, there is great news that our reinforcements are coming! Now the army is temporarily handed over to Xuanhua as the general, and all military affairs will be coordinated by Xuanhua!
General Su Zhi and I set off immediately and secretly entered the northwest. At this time, the 50,000-strong army of the Northwest General Song Wensong was ready. We just need to contact us and we can immediately lead the army south and directly take Bingzhou!
We took the opportunity to go north and occupy the Bingzhou Fortress. By that time, Lu Zheng's tail was cut off by us. Everyone else had made meritorious contributions. Your Majesty and the eldest princess must have a heavy reward!"
After all, Cao Weiming was a hero. His performance was perfect. The generals who were originally depressed became excited in an instant.
Like Cao Weiming, they saw the vitality in despair. Who wouldn't want to hold it firmly? They all expressed their support for it. Cao Weiming handed over the military talisman to Cao Xuanhua in front of everyone, and appointed Cao Xuanhua as the general. Then he and Su Zhi, the two of them quickly set off, secretly headed northwest, and headed straight to the northwest through the path.
At this time in the northwest, Song Wensong had received a handwritten letter from the eldest princess Long Lingxiu. Long Lingxiu promised Song Wensong in her heart that she could help Song Wensong unify the northwest within two months. As long as Song Wensong agreed to unify the northwest, he could quickly go south to the Central Plains after he agreed to unify the northwest, the two could form an alliance.
Song Wensong has been in a hurry recently. After he took Yincheng, he can compete with the Song Wenjie brothers in terms of strength, but it is not easy to completely overwhelm Liangzhou. The tug-of-war between the two sides is very fierce. If this continues, the situation in the northwest is really worrying.
At this time, Long Lingxiu, who had been dormant, suddenly appeared, which was like a timely help. The news alone made Song Wensong overjoyed and danced happily:
Chapter completed!
