In the next chapter, Xue Chengyi and Xiao Zhongze were feeling amidst pins and needles, Su Can Congliang's team began to arrive one after another. More than half of the Su Cong group, with nearly 200,000 troops, arrived around Tongzhou, and the entire Tongzhou city had been surrounded, although

It cannot be said that it is a mess, but it is basically impossible for external aid and military horses to arrive in Tongzhou. In other words, Tongzhou is now a turtle in the nest.

Xiao Zhong locked himself in the study, fear and worry increased, Xue Chengyi was indeed very talented, and in a short time, he used blood and silver to raise the morale in the city to an unprecedented level, and the bearish

Promise, the fictitious reinforcements made the soldiers in the city believe that they would definitely win, but Xiao Zhongze, who is the man in the game, understood that all this was just a moon in the water and a flower in the mirror. The difference in strength between the two sides was

There, not to mention the huge gap in the forces between the two sides, the huge difference in abilities of the soldiers on both sides has already determined the outcome of the war.

Xiao Zhongze understood that when the war started, Tongzhou would fall. Even if Tongzhou had a high wall and a dangerous city, the amount of capital in his hand could not stop the opponent's attack. Now these soldiers in Tongzhou City did not have any

After going to the battlefield, they have never seen the cruelty of blood and fire. Once the war begins, their psychology will be ruthlessly defeated. At that time, no matter whether it is the harsh military discipline or the heavy rewards, they will not be able to stop their inner fear.

Even myself began to fear.

Xiao Jingteng walked in and sat silently opposite his father.

"Father, today, General Xue chopped down the head of one of my generals!" Xiao Jingteng said dissatisfiedly.

"For" "What?" Xiao Zhongze said weakly.

"This general suggested breaking through and saying that defending Tongzhou City will only lead to a faster defeat!"

"He said it makes sense!" Xiao Zhongze said.

"It makes sense. But General Xue said that he shook the morale of the army and had ill-conspiracy. He dragged it out and chopped it up indiscriminately, and even my pleading was refuted!" Xiao Jingteng said angrily: "Don't forget that the troops in this city are all

It’s my subordinate, he has already ruined the 100,000 troops himself!”

"What's the use of saying this now!" Xiao Zhongze said angrily: "The most important thing now is to be united and be able to hold on for a day is a day, son. We are now grasshoppers on the same rope as him, above military affairs, he

If you are better than you, you will let him take the helm. If the boat capsizes, none of us will run away. At this time, we can only use strict military discipline to restrain our troops, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Father, can't you see that even so, we have reached the critical moment of life and death?" Xiao Jingteng stood up and walked to Xiao Zhongze. "Father, do you think we can still defend Tongzhou?"

"If you can't defend it, you have to defend it!" Xiao Zhongze said sternly, "What else can you do?"

Xiao Jingteng took two steps back, "Father, if there is another one for you to choose now, would you choose to live and die with Tongzhou?"

"Another way?" Xiao Zhongze said in confusion.

"Yes, another road!" Xiao Jingteng pointed outside.

Xiao Zhongze stood up suddenly, "You said you were surrendering to Su Cancong..." "Liang? No! Son, when the Fourth Master was in trouble, he was about to go back to the north, but he was blocked by me and had to leave the wasteland.

And if he leaves, how could he forget this hatred? If I vote for him, he will naturally welcome him now, but if we settle the score later, we Xiao family will probably not be able to escape."

Xiao Jingteng smiled and said, "Father, it is natural that we can't vote directly for him, but we can find another way and find a backer with a strong background. At that time, even if the Fourth Master is dissatisfied with us, as long as we are in a strong enough power.

, Strong enough, what can the Fourth Master do to us?"

"You, what do you mean?" Xiao Zhongze looked at his son, as if he had known him today, "What did you do with me on your back?"

"What can I do with you on my back?" Xiao Jingteng smiled and said, "But when I was young, I also met many friends, and among them, there are people who can help us."

"Who can do this with such great ability to help us now?" Xiao Zhongze shook his head and expressed his disbelief.

Xiao Jingteng walked to the door with a smile and opened the door: "Brother Cao, please come in!"

On the corridor outside the door, a young man in a cloak and a felt hat turned around and stepped into the door with a steady step. Xiao Jingteng closed the door behind him.

The young man lifted up the felt hat and showed his true face, "Uncle Xiao, do you still remember your nephew?"

Xiao Zhongze stared blankly at the young man in front of him, and after a while he came to his senses, "Cao Zhen? Why are you here? How did you get in?"

Cao Zhen, Cao Yi's "Chapter 636: We need to join us to keep warm" the second young master, one of the core figures of the Cao family.

"I'm actually here in Tongzhou for a while, so I've been hiding in Brother Xiao's place. Brother Xiao has been advised me to come to see you, Uncle Xiao, but I know that Uncle Xiao must have listened until the end of the day.

Don't go in what I said. And today, I think it's time!" Cao Zhen said with a smile.

"Cao Xiang?" Xiao Zhongze looked at Cao Zhen, his heart sinking little by little.

"My father has decided to correct past mistakes!" Cao Zhen said decisively. "In the coup in Shanghai, my father had no choice but to help the old man take office in order to stabilize the overall situation. But now it seems that he is wrong, so that the people of Dayue are living in poverty and have almost collapsed.

,The current situation in Dayue made my father extremely sad, so my father was determined to turn the world around, overthrow Li Jian's tyranny, and help the Fourth Master retake Dabao, Uncle Xiao, you also know some of the things that happened back then, which can be regarded as fulfilling the last emperor's wishes.

Bar!"

Xiao Zhongze fell on the chair, "He is the chief assistant, has he made up his mind?"

"Of course, otherwise, how could I appear here? Uncle Xiao, you also know my temperament. If I hadn't been to stay in Brother Xiao's nest for so long for such a big thing, wouldn't I be suffocated to death?

I can't help it. Today I met my uncle and completed the major tasks taught by my father. It was considered light-hearted." Cao Zhen smiled and took out a letter from his sleeve, "This is my father's handwritten letter to you. My father said it,

Uncle Xiao made a decision.”

"There are still 100,000 soldiers in the capital, and the steepness of the capital is called the world's most powerful pass. What should Cao Xiang do?" Xiao Zhongze did not read the letter, put the letter on the table and asked softly.

"" "Don't worry, this Uncle Xiao has his own arrangements, and everything is in control." Cao Zhen didn't care. "Uncle Xiao should know his father's temperament. If he is not sure, how could he take action easily? Once he takes action,

, there is no possibility of failure."

Xiao Zhongze nodded slightly.

"What does Cao Xiang need me to do?"

"Of course, it's a solution to Xue Chengyi!" Cao Zhen smiled and said, "Uncle Xiao should understand that the two of them have not attacked the city yet. It's because I'm here, and they are waiting for your response from Uncle Xiao. Otherwise,

As soon as the army moved, Tongzhou had already been burned. Could Uncle Xiao really expect that the little troops in the city could help?”

Xiao Zhongze smiled bitterly, "So that's it. Cao Xiuzhen turned his hand into clouds and turned into rain. I guess everything in Weizhou has already been ready, right?"

"Weizhou, there are other arrangements, and I don't know the specifics!" Cao Zhen smiled. "Uncle Xiao, you have to make a grudge with the Fourth Master. If you want to protect yourself, you must form an alliance with your father. Similarly, your father also asked him to do so back then.

The Fourth Master was extremely angry. In order to ensure the glory of the family after the war, we must unite. The stronger our strength, the more the Fourth Master will be able to throw himself into a rat and dare not act rashly!"

"I understand this!" Xiao Zhongze stood up, "Xue Chengyi, leave it to me!"

"Uncle is really a cheerful person, and he makes a decision without any delay." Cao Zhenxi said. "When the major event is over, an important position of uncle is always indispensable in the court. The Fourth Master ascended the position of Dabao and the military

We can't get involved, but we must leave the government affairs to our department to take charge. At that time, the position of the five departments will be chosen by uncle."

”” “Is this an agreement reached between the Prime Minister and the Fourth Master?”

"Yes!" Cao Zhen nodded and said, "The Fourth Master also knows that if we want to take down Shangjing as much as possible, quell the civil strife in Dayue, and restore economic and people's livelihood, we must be the ones who are now under the command of the Fourth Master, who can take charge of a country's affairs seriously.

There is no one. Who else can you rely on except relying on us?"

Xue Chengyi reached out and held Cao Zhen a heavy hand, "Tell the Prime Minister that Xiao Zhongze is willing to follow the Prime Minister, and there is no other word."

The two looked at each other and smiled. Poor Xue Chengyi was sold out in the hands of the two.

It's still this study room, but only a few people have changed.

Xue Chengyi sat opposite Xiao Zhongze, standing next to him, Chen Fengxiao, while Xiao Zhongze left and right, beside Xiao Jingteng, there were several burly men, holding the hilts of the knife in his hands and staring at Xue Chengyi with a fierce look.

"General, this is the case. Xiao prepared two paths for the general. One is to join Xiao and join the Fourth Master. You will always be inseparable from the general's wealth. If the general chooses this one, then

Please write your name on this letter of application, another one!" Xiao Zhongze pointed to a pot of wine on the big case in front of him, "I don't want the general to end up working together with the general, nor do I want the general to end up in my life."

The end of the other side of the head is that after drinking this pot of wine, you can return home with peace of mind!”

Xue Chengyi's face was dull, while Chen Fengxiao beside him had a pale face.

"General Chen, you have two choices. I wonder which one you choose?" Xiao Zhongze turned to look at Chen Feng and smiled, "Why would you rather General Chen choose first, so that the general can think more time?

”

Chen Feng smiled from white to red, from red to purple, and slowly turned white. He walked step by step to the edge of the big case, looked back at Xue Chengyi, who was still stunned, gritted his teeth, reached out to pick up the pen, and wrote on the letter

He wrote down his name. He lowered his head and stepped aside, not daring to look at Xue Chengyi again.
