The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 597 Five Kings Alliance

Luo Songdao: "General Yuchi, Runzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack. To the south is Piling, which is the site of King Shen Faxing of Huzhou. On the other side of the river is Jiangdu, which is the site of Fugong Er. To the east of Jiangdu is Hailing. Li Zitong's territory. Right now, our vanguard battalion has only 1 troops, and we have come from a long distance. Besides, we don't have a navy. If we forcefully attack Runzhou, we are likely to be flanked by several enemies. The prince's brigade will be in short supply every day. Now, let the prince and the military adviser make the decision."

Yu Chigong agreed, so the soldiers retreated ten miles, found a suitable place to set up camp, and waited for Yang Yong's main force.

The line of sight temporarily shifted to the camp of the auxiliary male Er.In the battle of Danyang, Fu Gong Er was killed and defeated. Fa Daoren, the commander of the national division, Lu Yu, the commander of the army, and Zhang Mai, the commander of the navy, were all killed. 13 horses lost nearly [-], and their vitality was seriously injured.

Fu Gong Er retreated from Danyang all the way to Jiangdu with the remnants of the defeated generals. Hundreds of soldiers fled every day on the way. division.

Fu Gong Er discussed with Chen Dangshi, Li Zhengdao, Feng Huiliang and others, and they believed that Jiangdu and Runzhou had dangerous terrains, both of which were in danger of the Yangtze River.Therefore, it is possible to defend against danger, and step up contact with Li Zitong and Shen Faxing to realize the alliance of the three kings and jointly deal with Yang Yong's rebel army.

After the plan was finalized, Fu Gong Er asked general Feng Huiliang to lead [-] troops to defend Runzhou, and told him that if Yang Yong's men came to attack, he did not need to fight, but just stood by and waited for help.Then, let General Li Zhengdao lead [-] troops to guard Jiangdu (today's Yangzhou), and be responsible for commanding [-] naval forces to ensure the safety of the two cities.

In order to show sincerity, Fu Gong Er and Chen Dangshi brought a thousand personal guards, a heavy gift and ten beauties to Piling to meet Huzhou King Shen Faxing and discuss the big deal.

Shen Faxing really treated Fu Gong Er as a dish, and after hearing the news, he personally rushed from Huzhou to Piling, where he received Fu Gong Er solemnly.

When Fu Gong Er handed over the heavy gift and ten beauties from Jiangnan, and his subordinate Chen Dangshi explained to Shen Faxing his intention, Shen Faxing laughed loudly: "Fu Gong, you really found the right person this time, Shen Mou I heard that Mr. Fu is the one who can achieve great things, so we will form an alliance to make a big deal, but it is not an alliance of three kings. Wujun Wang Wenren Suian has [-] soldiers under his command. Wujun Wang and Shen have a long history. The friendship is good, and Lin Shihong, the king of Chu, occupies a vast area in the south of Jiangxi, and has a hundred thousand soldiers under him, and he refuses to accept the remnant of the previous dynasty, Yang Yong, so we will form a five-king alliance to deal with Yang Yong and his fellow."

Fu Gong Er was overjoyed, and the two of them immediately divided the work. Fu Gong Er went to Nantong to contact Li Zitong, and Shen Faxing went to Wujun and Ganzhou to contact Wenren Suian and Lin Shihong. After meeting for a month, the five kings met in Yangzhou to discuss a joint alliance. Deal with Yang Yong.

Under the rush of Fu Gong Er and Shen Faxing, after a month, the five kings finally came to Sansilipu outside Piling City to hold an alliance.

Tongzhou King Li Zitong brought 3 horses, Shen Faxing brought 4 horses, Wenren Suian brought 1 horses, Chu King Lin Shihong brought 5 cavalry because of the long distance, and Fu Gong Er brought [-] horses, and also brought generals Chen Dangshi and Li Zhengdao.

The five kings gathered 15 horses to form an allied army. Obviously, the five kings didn't bring out all their family assets. The one who led the most troops was Fu Gong Er, with a total of 8 horses. He pulled out [-] horses to show his sincerity. Of course It also has its own purpose, because he is the initiator of the Five Kings Alliance and is also a direct beneficiary.

Fu Gong Er looked at the other four princes, stood up and cupped his fists to salute: "Brothers, today is an auspicious day. Our five kings will form an alliance to deal with the remnants of the previous dynasty. Yang Yong's bandit army, we must spare no effort Now I have received accurate information that Yang Yong's bandit army has already set off from Danyang, and my lord's Runzhou and Jiang are both at the forefront of the war. My lord now has eight troops, and this time I brought 3. I want to declare What’s more, the remaining [-] horses were all incorporated into the Allied Forces, leaving none behind.”

"Okay, Duke Fu is really bold." Shen Faxing took the lead in applauding, and the other three kings and generals also clapped their hands. Behind Duke Fu, Chen Dangshi and Li Zhengdao clapped their hands the most and shouted the loudest. There was thunderous applause.

Fu Gong Er also patted twice, and after the applause died down, Fu Gong Er said again: "Brothers, the thief Yang Yong is powerful, we should not underestimate him. There is a saying that people can't go without a head, and birds can't go without a head." Fei, we must choose a man of high morals and respect to be our ally king, otherwise, the dragons will have no leader, and a mess can achieve great things?"

The other four princes also nodded in agreement, but they were not so magnanimous in the selection of the leader, and they all kept silent.

Fugong Er looked at Chen Dangshi, and Chen Dangshi clasped his fists knowingly and said, "Everyone, I am Chen Dangshi, and I am a general under Fugong's subordinates. From my point of view, my family's Fugong is the leader of the alliance. In terms of military strength Our Fu Gong sent the most troops, in terms of virtue and ability, the Fu Gong has both morality and talent, and we have fought against the bandit army again and again, which is obvious to all."

When Chen Dangshi said this, Fu Gong Er looked at the other four princes with a proud face.But after Chen Dangshi finished speaking, the four princes, including Shen Faxing, who seemed to respect him very much, did not respond, and remained silent.

At this time, one of Shen Faxing's generals stood up. This guy was big and thick, with a big black face, a short beard, and a black gold armor. Ladies and gentlemen, Hu Zongmin is also under the command of the King of Huzhou. If you are not talented, it is really difficult to agree with what the brother said just now. The position of leader is very important, and it cannot be judged by the number of troops. It depends on the number of battles with Yang Yong, if there are more battles with Yang Yong, all of them will be lost, so how can it be said that they are highly respected?"

As soon as this remark came out, Fu Gong Er's face was not good.Chen Dangshi couldn't hold back his anger any longer, and stared at him with his hands on his sword: "Hu, what did you say? If you have the guts, can you say it again?"

"I just said that the leader of the alliance can't be so determined. If you want to be the leader of the alliance, you have to show both hands to convince everyone. What can you do?" The tent cover is raised.

At this time Li Zitong said: "General Hu is right. The leader of the alliance must not be sloppy. He must be elected by everyone. You must not say anything."

Shen Faxing also stood up: "The king of Tongzhou is right. Lin Shihong, the king of Chu, has been loyal and virtuous for generations. He is mature and prudent. He now occupies more than [-] states and counties in southern Jiangxi. The position of the leader of the alliance must belong to the king of Chu, as the saying goes, strength determines the position. May I ask, in terms of strength, who can come out on the right among the other kings?"

"Agree! Agree!" Wenren Suian and Li Zitong agreed in unison.

Fu Gong Er looked at the situation, and the position of the leader probably has nothing to do with him, but that's fine, whoever is the leader, as long as they deal with Yang Yong together, so he suppressed his anger and applauded agree.

Lin Shihong stood up and said modestly: "Oh, everyone, what virtue and ability does Xiao Wang have, I really dare not take the position of the leader of the alliance."

"King Chu, don't be too polite, you must be the leader of the alliance." Shen Faxing and others insisted again.

"Thanks to everyone's kindness, if you want Xiao Wang to sit on the position of the leader, there must be one condition, otherwise Xiao Wang will be hard to follow." Lin Shihong said this, all the kings and generals present were stunned.
