The situation in the capital suddenly became subtle and tense. Emperor Xinde of Jiangnan actually targeted Cao Weiming directly and forced the Zhao family and Cao family into the death of the two rivers. Cao Weiming dominated the two rivers. Zhao Chongqian had no time to escape and was beheaded outside the Meridian Gate by Emperor Xinde in the capital.

When Zhao Chongqian died, the Cao family occupied the two rivers and swallowed the Zhao family in one bite! Cao Weiming was in the capital, and was not afraid. He fought bloody battles with the Liaodong army and defended the capital to death.

Outside the capital, in the Liaodong Army camp, Long Lingxiu sat upright in the camp, Tan Lei and the generals all joined the two sides to discuss matters. Long Lingxiu's face was covered with her face, and she could not see her expression, but it was probably judging from her eyes that this woman was very angry now:

"What is Cao Weiming? He dared to hold the prince hostage and order the capital. As a descendant of the Long family, how can he give up this matter? I, Long Lingxiu, will not let him go!"

Long Lingxiu paused and continued, "You all saw that although the capital city is strong and the walls are high and difficult to attack, Cao Weiming has only 60,000 troops, and nearly 20,000 troops are the Yulin Army. These Yulin Army are not their direct lineage, and they must be different from them.

And our Liaodong Iron Cavalry has 100,000 troops, and how can we not win with 100,000 to 60,000?"

Tan Lei said: "Yes, the princess is right! We defeated Cao Weiming, responded to Your Majesty's edict, and occupied the important land of the capital with the capital in legitimate way. With the capital in our hands, we look to Longyou west, Shandong east, Jiangnan south, and the two rivers can also be all in our hands. With the prosperity inside the pass, the scale of our Liaodong army can be stronger for a generation. At that time, there will be few people in the world who dare to compete with our Liaodong army!"

Tan Lei and Long Lingxiu sang together, and the atmosphere in the tent gradually became lively. It was obvious that everyone was inspired by the two and their morale was rising.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Long Lingxiu said, "The battle for siege is here! We send troops from the four gates, and whoever attacks the city first will reward a thousand taels. In addition, our support is the Longyou Iron Cavalry. General Song, the Longyou Iron Cavalry, has already rushed south to think that we are backing, so we will advance and retreat in this battle, and we will definitely be able to fight in one battle!"

Tan Lei stood up and shouted, "All the generals obey the order!" Tan Lei immediately issued an order, and then the horn sounded in the army, and the battle to attack the capital began.

At this time, Cao Weiming, the capital city, had already arranged the defenders, and the prince of the Eastern Palace, Long Zhaohuan, was under house arrest in the palace and could not see the light of the sky.

The situation in the capital was firmly controlled by him. Representatives of several major families in the capital were now serving guests at his mansion. Cao Weiming filled his wine and said, "My dear masters, the capital is now facing the danger of life and death. If I follow the prince's wishes, the prince abandons the city and flees south, the capital will fall into an enemy. By that time, who can guarantee your family business?

The barbarians of Liaodong were inhumane. They raped and plundered the places where they passed. They harmed the capital, and the people in the capital would live in poverty!”

The Su family, Zuo family and other major families nodded and said that they had just said that things had come to this point, and they could only follow Cao Weiming's orders. Although the imperial court's orders came down and Cao Weiming called Cao Weiming a rebel, the reality was that Cao Weiming did not have any conflicts with several major families in the capital, but instead tried his best to defend the city. This was exactly what everyone wanted to see, so the families did not care about the imperial edict and talked about military affairs with Cao Weiming in a dignified manner.

Su Xinghai said: "General Cao, are you sure about this battle?"

Cao Weiming laughed and said, "Don't worry, as long as there is no civil strife, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry will come and go this time! Let me tell you the truth, this time the Liaodong Iron Cavalry will find help from Longyou, and the third general of Longyou, Song Yunsong, went south.

You may not know that the Song family is divided, and Song Wensong has never been tolerated by the Song family's direct descendants. It just so happened that Cao and the third son of Song appreciate each other. This time, he had agreed with the third son of Song that he would go south to help me, and we would destroy the Liaodong Iron Cavalry together, and then the two sides formed an alliance to allow him to occupy the twelve states including Bianzhou and other places in the pass. From then on, Liaodong and Longyou will be worryless!"

After Cao Weiming's statement, everyone present changed their faces. They looked at each other and didn't know whether Cao Weiming's words were true or not. According to the information they received, the Liaodong Army invited the Song family in Longxi to send troops, and then seized the capital city and the two rivers.

Now Cao Weiming actually said that the Song family army is not an enemy or a friend for the second time, and the situation on the battlefield will inevitably reverse. If this is true, the capital can be protected and the two rivers are worry-free. Cao Weiming's reputation will be greatly boosted after this battle, and Emperor Xinde, who had just turned against Cao, would be like a thorn in his back!

After drinking and eating, Cao Weiming comforted the big bosses of the family. The situation in the capital was completely stabilized. Su Xinghai was finally retained by him. Cao Weiming said: "Su Xiang, the current situation is inexplicable for the Su family. Su Xiang is in the capital. If you don't rebel against me, Emperor Xinde will definitely be suspicious. Now the two masters Su Zhi and Su Qing are in Jinling. With Emperor Xinde's actions, the situation of these two masters may be in desperate situation in an instant. By that time, the pillars of the Su family will be killed. Su Xiang, how can this be endured?"

Su Xinghai said lightly: "What should General Cao mean?"

Cao Weiming said: "Su Xiang simply wrote a letter and asked Su Zhi and Su Qing to return to the north quickly and rely on the Su family to guard the capital. Isn't that great?"

Su Xinghai smiled and said, "General Cao, what should my Su family do if the capital city is broken? I, Su Xinghai, are the old man, and even if I die in the capital city, there is no regret! But Su Zhi and Su Qing are in their prime, and they each hold power. If they follow me, I am afraid that if things fail, my Su family will be in danger!"

Cao Weiming was speechless for a moment and could only laugh dryly. Su Xinghai said: "General Cao should be taken care of by Lu Zhengzhi if he can escape from Jiangnan. I think the general's meaning seems to have an opinion on the Nanfu Army. Could it be that the general wants to be an enemy of Lu Zheng?

The general's order to the capital city with the crown prince has already made His Majesty angry. His Majesty's edict has come down to let the people of the world attack you together. If General Cao has any ideas about Lu Zheng's southern army, if Lu Zheng also has the intention to deal with the general, he may be afraid that even if the general has strong foreign aid, the situation will be dangerous. I wonder if I am saying this or not?"

Cao Weiming's face changed and the smile on his face became even more awkward. He asked Su Xinghai to recall Su Zhi back to the capital, of course, hoping that Su Zhi would bring some of the Nanfu army back to destroy Lu Zheng's platform.

However, when Su Xinghai said this, he did not dare to act rashly anymore, because he was not afraid of Emperor Xinde, Jiangnan. But if Emperor Xinde and Lu Zheng were united in the king and ministers, how could Cao Weiming be stable in the two rivers?

Cao Weiming knew very well about Lu Zheng's power. The two fought many times, and he was at a disadvantage every time! Even now, many of the troops in Cao Weiming's hands are Lu Zheng's fans. If the two really broke up, Cao Weiming was now attacked from all sides, and his situation would definitely be very dangerous.

Immediately, he hurriedly said, "Su Xiang, Lord Lu and I are brothers and sisters, so I will definitely not have any thoughts about him. Don't worry, sir, we will first defend the capital, and then I will return the power to the prince. I believe that people in the world will understand my painstaking efforts by then!"

After Cao Weiming said that, he led his entourage to the city gate. The war began, and the capital was in full swing. Cao Weiming was as stable as Mount Tai.

The Liaodong Iron Cavalry attacked the capital for two days without success. Eunuch Hua, who had not spoken, said to Long Lingxiu: "Your Highness, Princess, I feel that the current situation is inappropriate. The Liaodong Army may be in crisis!"

Long Lingxiu frowned and said, "Old Dog, do you mean we came from Liaodong thousands of miles away, and now we are in disgrace and retreat again?"

Hua Eunu said justice: "I just feel that at this moment, we should maintain our strength for the time being and then wait and see if it happens. Otherwise, I am worried that if the people from Longyou take action from behind us, General Tan may be unable to compete!"

Long Lingxiu raised her eyebrows and said, "Are the people of Longyou so untrustworthy?"

Hua Eunuch said justice: "The Song family in Longyou was divided, and Song Laosan was isolated. This person is independent and special, has strong combat power, superb methods, and is moody!

What the Song family really wants to do is very likely to cause trouble in his hands. At this moment, although the Longyou Army is heading south, it is impossible to judge whether it is an enemy or a friend. I think you should be cautious!"

"Yes, Eunuch Hua is indeed a veteran, I expected this!" Tan Lei's voice came over and continued, "So I have made preparations. Along the way of the Longyou Army, I have arranged scouts and defenses outside the capital. Even if the Longyou Army is an enemy, I can still take down the capital first!"

Eunuch Hua sneered and said, "Did General Tan forget the hatred of the capital that day? General Tan's ten thousand light cavalry were crushed in an instant, and now he dares to be attacked from both sides?"

Tan Lei's face changed and he said, "The last time it was because Lu Zheng was cunning, and this person was extremely difficult to deal with, so..."

Before Tan Lei finished speaking, Eunuch Hua said, "As far as the old slave knows, Song Wensong and Lu Zheng have a deep relationship, and their relationship is very unusual, hehe. This time, Cao Weiming was able to make trouble because Lu Zheng helped him escape from the trouble in Jinling!

Now Cao Weiming occupied the capital and held the crown prince hostage, but Song Laosan went south again. Can the trick be simple?

Not to mention anything else, but in terms of military use, the Longyou Iron Cavalry is not under the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, and Song Laosan's military use is also famous in Longyou, otherwise he would not have lived today!

At this moment, being safe is the first, General Tan must be on guard!”

Tan Lei frowned. After a long time, he clasped his fists and said to Eunuch Hua: "Eunuch Hua is right, Mr. Tan has received the advice! For the sake of this, we will wait for the right time to retreat quickly, just wait for the Song family army to come and make a seat for them!

I believe that as long as the Song family army comes and we retreat, Cao Weiming may not be willing to give Song Laosan another gift that is satisfactory!"

Eunuch Hua shook his head and said, "With the Liaodong army staring at me, General Tan thinks that both of them can turn against each other?"

Long Lingxiu said: "Old thing, what do you mean is where we come from and where to retreat? Have we lost all the might of our Liaodong Iron Cavalry for so many years? We have repeatedly failed to return?"

Eunuch Hua laughed and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, the best fighter of the Liaodong Army is in the east now! The Liaodong Army raided Shandong, and the battle was decided. The King of Qi was caught off guard and would inevitably suffer heavy damage. If we occupy Shandong, the King of Qi would definitely go to Huainan Road.

The Huainan Road is separated from the Jiangnan River, and the Nanfu Army and the King of Qi will inevitably have conflicts. If the court is uneasy, the Liaodong Army will take the opportunity to grow stronger!"

Hua Gonggong paused and said, "Also, we occupy Shandong, Lianghe, Jingji, Song San and Cao Weiming, how can we not have grudges? As far as I know, Song Wensong is ambitious and a hero.

Although Cao Weiming, who was hidden in the past, looked loyal and respectful, actually, this person dared to hold the prince to occupy the capital, and he must be a ruthless person. He could not stand two tigers in a mountain, and the two would have a fight. At that time, we would hide our strength and rest and rest. After a few years, there would be no enemy of the Liaodong Army in the world!"

Tan Lei was stunned for a moment, and after a while he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, Eunuch Hua is indeed an old minister to plan the country. Listening to your words is really exciting. Your Highness, Princess, I think Eunuch Hua is planning very well!"

Long Lingxiu giggled and said, "Old guy, you can always come up with ideas at critical moments. OK, this time it will be up to you! General Tan, you can make arrangements!"

Tan Lei nodded and said, "Let ten thousand people attack the other troops quickly take advantage of the night to go east. We rushed to Shandong within three days, and then suddenly started. With the combat power of the Liaodong army, there is no city in Shandong that can stop it, and the King of Qi is in danger!"

Long Lingxiu said: "The key is that my elder brother is the most cunning and slippery. He is a soldier-knowingly, and he knows the importance of having strength in his hands! Therefore, even though he knows that he will definitely lose, he will never sacrifice all his capital. At that time, when we occupy Shandong, he retreats to Huainan Road, and there will inevitably be conflicts between Huainan Road and Jiangnan Road. Haha, it is exciting to think about it!"

Hua Eunuch said justice: "In Jiangnan, Your Majesty has become suspicious of Lu Zheng, and the monarch and ministers are in harmony! If something happens to Huainan Road at this time, the situation in Jiangnan should be more subtle, and Lu Zheng will also face difficulties at that time. Let's see how he, the loyal minister of Dakang, will make a decision. To be honest, I am very chess-based! I hope to see how Lu Zheng's patience and patience can reach!"

"Old guy, you are so bad! Okay, I'll give Lu Zheng a divorce letter and tell her that I took it from Shandong. Brother, I asked him to go to Huainan and ask him to take care of me, haha..." Long Lingxiu laughed loudly, full of pride in her laughter.

The next thing was simple. Tan Lei arranged 10,000 people to continue to attack the city, and the main force slowly ran east while the night was sunny, marching east for hundreds of miles, entering Maoer Mountain, and disappeared from then on!

Speaking of the Longyou Army heading south and did not resist all the way to the capital. Song Wensong couldn't help but be surprised. He quickly sent a message to Long Lingxiu and reported to the scout that he did not see the Liaodong Army's central tent outside the capital!

Song Wensong was stunned, his face suddenly became ugly, and his generals immediately said: "Three Generals, did the Liaodong Army use fraud? They quietly withdrew from the capital and hid in hiding. At the critical moment, they will give us a fatal blow?"

Song Wensong shook his head and said, "That's a big deal! This is Long Lingxiu who ran away by herself. She must have seen Cao Weiming's intentions, hey!"

"For the sake of this plan, I will beat the drums and trumpets for me. Our entire army will attack and reach the capital! Hurry up!! Attack!" Song Wensong said decisively.

"No, Third General, if the Liaodong Army looked around at this time, we might be trapped in a state of being attacked from both sides!"
Chapter completed!
