Chapter 103
Not to mention Wang Jing and the Taiping Army. After the collapse of the former Qin Army, some of the defeated soldiers fled to the north, and more fled to the east. They all knew that General Liang Cheng was still stationed in Sihong, and the former Qin Army still had prestige in their hearts. .

On the way of fleeing, waves of rout soldiers gathered together, gradually forming a group of hundreds of people.

Sihong is the place where more than ten rivers such as Sishui, Bianhe and Suihe converge.

Not far to the east is Hongze Lake, and the character Hong in Sihong represents Hongze Lake.

Here the rivers meet, no matter whether you go up the river or down the river, you can't avoid this place.

The former Qin army chose to settle here, so they naturally planned to attack powerful forces along the river.

Here the waters meet, the land is fertile, and many people and refugees come here.

Liang Cheng sent troops to recruit more than [-] people and asked them to farm near Sihong. When the former Qin army arrived, they brought a lot of grain and grass, but these grains were eaten less and less.

As a general, he naturally knew the importance of food and grass to the army, so he arranged for the people to farm in advance.

On the wall of Sihong City, soldiers of the former Qin Dynasty are carefully patrolling.

This city is not too big, it took tens of thousands of people more than half a year to build it, the atmosphere inside the city is solemn, there is no need for many people to hide in their houses.

Under the control of the former Qin army, except for a small number of capable people who became civil servants and assisted Liang Cheng in handling some chores.

The rest of the common people are under military control, and they usually work hard on the fields, and sometimes they are conscripted as civilian husbands to deliver food, grass and luggage to the partial divisions where the soldiers are away.

Liang Cheng's family has a long history of learning, not to mention literary and military skills, but at least he is proficient in literary and ink. He accepted the suggestion of some civil servants and resettled more than [-] people with the method of military settlements.

Sun Ru, who is stronger than Bingfeng but not productive, is much stronger.

"There is a situation!"

Due to the implementation of the law of military settlements, apart from arranging for the common people to cut and collect firewood, few people came in and out of Sihong City Gate.

The former Qin soldiers on the city wall sounded the alarm immediately after seeing a large group of people approaching in the distance.

Soon, people and horses in the distance approached and showed their appearance.

They supported each other, out of breath, their clothes were covered with dust and blood, and they were very embarrassed.

"I am Qian He, Lieutenant of the Zuo Military Academy, I have something important to report to the General!"

Hundreds of people approached the city gate rashly, and a big man stepped out to report his identity.Then just stand there and wait.

"Lieutenant Zuo Jun? Didn't Zuo Jun go out with the Second General?"

When the soldiers on the city wall heard this, the hearts of some clever people were shocked. Seeing the distressed appearance of the soldiers below the city, they could guess that the situation of the Zuo Army must be bad.

This matter is very important.

Wang Xian, the governor of Yangzhou of the Qin Army, went up to the top of the city himself, used a hanging basket to ask the other party to deliver the tokens, confirmed the identities of the people in the city, and then rushed to the general Xingyuan with the school lieutenant Qian He.

"General Wei!"

Wang Xian led people to the hall of Xingyuan. At this time, a general stood at the top of the hall, a dozen pretty girls were performing dances, and there were several lieutenant generals sitting on both sides.

Seeing Wang Xian coming, his face was anxious, and Liang Cheng, who was at the top, waved his hand to let the dancing girl back down.

"what happened?"

Liang Cheng's expression changed slightly when he saw Qian He walking in behind Wang Xian.

"General Wei, the second general is encircling and suppressing the Taiping Army, and it seems that they are about to succeed, but suddenly a group of soldiers and horses appeared from the west, our army was caught off guard, and the enemy broke into the camp..."

Qian He knelt down and said bitterly.

"Where's Liang Yun?"

Liang Cheng's face turned blue, and he suddenly interrupted him.

"Second General...unfortunately died!"

Qian He originally wanted to speak in a more tactful manner, but seeing General Wei's complexion, he didn't dare to delay, so he directly talked about the defeat of the former Qin partial division not long ago.

"Second brother... died in battle? I didn't expect that someone nearby would dare to make an enemy of our army!"

Liang Cheng laughed back in anger.

"My condolences to the general! The most important thing now is to find out the origin of this army!"

"It is said that this army has only 3000 to [-] people. It is just a sneak attack that took advantage of the opportunity to defeat our army. When we find out the identity of this army, our army can kill it with a thunderous blow and avenge the second general!"

Wang Xian said.

As the saying goes, kindness does not command soldiers, and Liang Cheng is known as a famous general, so he can naturally control his emotions.

He took a deep breath, his eyes were a little red.

Said: "Okay, I will leave the investigation to Wang Shishi... Pass on the order to mobilize [-] elites. As long as they find out where these people are going, I will personally go out and kill them all!"

Inside Sihong City.

Liang Cheng's words were the highest military order, and the city, which was originally filled with awe-inspiring atmosphere, began to become lively, and many generals and schools began to mobilize their elites to prepare for the dispatch of troops.

……

somewhere in the city.

In front of a courtyard adjacent to the street, a man turned around twice inadvertently, and saw no movement nearby.

He stepped into the courtyard, and the door was quietly closed.

"There's no one outside!"

The man said softly, there are two other people in the courtyard at this time, one of them is a man with black beard, his eyes are shining, and his appearance is quite powerful, the other is a man with elegant appearance and extraordinary temperament.

"Liang Yun's army was defeated! The ten thousand army suffered heavy casualties, and only a few hundred people have escaped until now... What a tragedy!"

The man sat down and told all about what he had inquired about.

He was very well informed about the information that Colonel Qian He brought back, whether it was Liang Yun's death on the battlefield, or the number of East Lake troops that suddenly appeared...he was very clear about it.

"Brother Lin had a good evaluation of Liang Yun before, he is indeed somewhat incompetent!" the elegant man sighed.

The one called Brother Lin is the man with black beard.

"Hehe, the incompetent and mediocre general will be defeated sooner or later, Brother Bu has already expected it!"

"Liang Cheng and Liang Yun's former Qin army seems to be elite, but in fact it is a mixture of Hu and Han. They can persist in the face of ordinary enemies, but they cannot fight for a long time in the face of strong enemies!"

"Historically, Liang Cheng lost to Liu Laozhi, who had only 5000 troops!"

"This kind of character has already developed his temperament. No matter how powerful he develops in the future, he will eventually be defeated by the hero!"

His voice was thick, deliberately lowering his voice.

"So, brother Lin deliberately concealed his ability and didn't work for the former Qin army?"

The refined man said.

Brother Lin glanced at the two of them, and sighed, "That's right, I, Lin Renzhao, was loyal to the lord back then, but the lord Tang fell into Zhao Kuangyin's plan to divorce me and killed me!"

"After knowing my fate in history, I swear that I will never go to the incompetent lord again!"

The man with the black beard is Lin Renzhao, a famous general of the Southern Tang Dynasty in history.

After he was reborn in Shenzhou World, he had no soldiers in his hands, and was taken to Sihong as a refugee. During this time, he met two friends in Sihong.

Perhaps it is because people flock together, and things are divided into groups, and the friends of capable people are often of the same kind.Of the two people he knew, one of them was extremely powerful, and the refined man was even a famous minister recorded in history books.

"Brother Lin is right! We hide our names and don't show our strength, isn't it because of Liang Cheng's inability!"

"It's just that we are now trapped in Sihong, and we have no chance to join the Ming Lord!"

The man who let the wind out just now said.

 Thanks for the reward of Three Arrows Dingjunshan!
