It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 680

The real problem is not the three cities of Haojia, Wuwei, and Jincheng, but how to face them.

Cheng Dalei took down Liangzhou City with lightning speed, like a toad with its huge mouth open, delusionally trying to swallow the moon. As a result, it can only be broken by the moon.

Cheng Dalei's appetite was too great, but he did not swallow the strength of the entire Liangzhou.

Toad City, Shuofang City, and Liangzhou City are the three cities currently occupied by Cheng Dalei, but his total strength is only over 30,000. At present, there are only 5,000 troops left behind in Toad City, and the same is true for Shuofang City. Liangzhou City has just been occupied, and 20,000 troops are here.

Holding three cities in his hand, Cheng Dalei had to divide his troops, which was doomed to his lack of defense.

If the three cities of Wuwei, Haojia, and Jincheng came back to their senses and raised their troops to attack Cheng Dalei, the three cities in Cheng Dalei's hands would be in jeopardy.

And the expansion of the army is by no means an overnight thing, Cheng Dalei must get through the unstable period at the beginning.

Of course, if Cheng Dalei can get through this period of instability and gain a firm foothold, he can continue to fight Wuwei, Haojia, and Jincheng, and make himself the master of Liangzhou City.

After occupying Liangzhou City, the city lords of the other three cities must be notified. Of course, they have received the news now, and they are probably also speculating about Cheng Dalei's attitude.

For Cheng Dalei, Liangzhou City is the beginning and the end. Will he continue to use his troops and intend to capture the other three cities, or will he stand still and defend the current foundation.

Cheng Dalei's attitude will determine their attitude. And their attitude, in turn, will affect Cheng Dalei's attitude.

Now the two sides are sitting at both ends of the poker table, each of them is indifferent, but both are speculating about the chips in each other's pockets.

Wu Yong stood beside Cheng Dalei, looking at his frown, he could also guess what his headache was.

Master, why don't we write a letter to the three of them, indicating that we have no will to fight and are willing to live in peace with them?

Cheng Dalei shook his head, and suddenly made up his mind: No, we must not show goodwill, showing goodwill means showing weakness, you can send them a letter asking them to be honest, otherwise, if the head of the family wins Song Bokang, it will naturally be flat. got them.

This... Wu Yong hesitated for a moment: Is this too arrogant?

Cheng Dalei sighed deeply, he didn't understand that he was taking risks. If the other party comes back and joins forces to attack you, then you won't be able to defend yourself. Now I can only hope that the other party can give me time to breathe.

Of course, placing hope on the other party is a very stupid thing. But Cheng Dalei really had no other way but to do so.

In the current situation, he can't show weakness in the slightest, even if his pocket is empty, he has to look like he is rich.

In any case, this third matter is resolved, and as for the result, it can only be left to fate.

Now, He Shenru appeased the residents of Liangzhou City, Liu Bei went to deal with the surrender, and Wu Yong faced the other three cities that were eyeing them.

These three things are important, but it is not only these three that need to be solved at the moment, there are many other things that are imminent, they may not be very important, but they must be dealt with.

Where did Song Bokang go? Cheng Dalei asked Axi.

According to the information obtained by his subordinates, it is very likely that he fled to Chang'an. Axi said.

It's good to go to Chang'an, it's good to go to Chang'an. Cheng Dalei breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that Song Bokang would escape to the other three cities in Liangzhou. If he mustered his troops and attempted revenge, he would indeed have no strength to resist.

Last night, Song Bokang's performance disappointed Cheng Dalei. Song Bokang is not lacking in wisdom, but he is too cowardly. If he can summon the courage to call on the soldiers to resist last night, Cheng Dalei will have to pay a heavy price even if he is undefeated.

But the other party escaped unexpectedly. I have to say that this saved Cheng Dalei a lot of energy.

The other party is really not a competent opponent.

By the way, you have someone write a letter and deliver it to Chang'an City for the Emperor of the Empire. Cheng Dalei suddenly remembered something.

What's in the letter? Axi asked.

Cheng Dalei pondered for a moment, then said: It is said that Song Bokang is cruel and unscrupulous and intends to rebel. Under his rule, the people of Liangzhou live in dire straits. I, Cheng Dalei, the head of the family, was ordered by the Ming emperor to kill the thieves who are not ministers in the world with a sword. So, instead, ask Ru Jinzi for a title.

Axi's eyes lit up: Is this true?

Cheng Dalei gave him a white look: It's true when it's false, and it's true when it's false. Whether it's true or false, we have to show a true attitude.

Axi was still at a loss, not knowing the meaning of Cheng Dalei's words.

The so-called name is not right, the word is not right, and the word is not right, and nothing will happen. If Cheng Dalei is still nesting in Toad City, it doesn't matter if he is a bandit, he is optimistic about his own land. But since he has taken this step, he must arrange a name for himself.

This kind of thing is not to fool the smart people of the empire, but to fool the foolish people of the empire.

Axi left as ordered, Cheng Dalei straightened up, stretched his arms, and the joints made a crackling sound.

He felt that his manpower was seriously insufficient, there was no shortage of generals, and there was a shortage of civil servants who could handle all kinds of things. Heshen now has to deal with the affairs of Liangzhou City, the development of Shuofang City has to stop, and Toad City is currently only maintained.

Lack of civil servants, lack of soldiers, Cheng Dalei lacks too many things.

When I stood up, I suddenly remembered that I had not rested for a moment after the battle last night, which continued until now. And Xiaodie and Liuzhi are all in Toad City, Liangzhou City is a waste of time, and there is not even a maid by her side to bring tea and water.

Cheng Dalei poured himself a glass of water and moistened his dry throat. Although exhausted, and although there are still many difficulties in front of him, conquering this event still brought him a certain pleasure.

As long as the situation is stabilized, he is the master of Liangzhou City, the sword in his hand, and the soldiers behind him are the confidence to say this.

Song Bokang is not a problem, and there should be no trouble in Liangzhou City. The biggest uncertainty is the attitude of the other three cities.

If they dare to call, what should I do?

Cheng Dalei took a deep breath and suddenly became angry in his heart. If they came, he would let go and fight them, afraid of him.

He was holding a cup, which was just plain white water, but it felt like drinking fine wine. Cheng Dalei understood that this is not the taste of water, but the sweetness of power.

It is no wonder that throughout the ages, many heroes and heroes are willing to intrigue and compete for fame and fortune. Maybe not because they care about fame and fortune, but simply because they like to win.

And I, slowly began to like the word.
