Chapter 303 The eve of the decisive battle

"I made it very clear that this battle must go on. You can't change it, and I can't change it!" This was the last sentence Hong Quandao heard Hong Changan said, and he couldn't listen anymore.

He didn't understand why his father was so stubborn, even if he had been an unambitious Dutong back then, even if Huai Yunqian succeeded to the throne later, they could still keep their family rich and prosperous.

Everything has changed in these years. They have changed from the Hong family that everyone in Jingguo envied to the rebels that everyone shouts and beats. Those who express their loyalty turn their backs on them and spit at them.

No one really welcomed their Hong family. After all these years, Hong Chang'an finally understood why Nangong Chang had a chance to become emperor, but he retreated bravely in the end and chose to be his own Taiping Duke.

Not everyone can be an emperor. Before that, countless people have to work hard to achieve it.But right now, what Hong Quandao saw and heard was not a sign that they could win, but revealed that they were strong on the outside and capable on the inside.

For this reason, he had a big fight with Hong Chang'an. Hong Chang'an's confrontation with his son was unbelievable. In the end, he coldly asked Hong Quandao to leave his side and go to Dongzhou to reflect.

Although he was quite dissatisfied with his son's attitude in his heart, Hong Chang'an still retained his concern as a father, and asked Hong Xia to personally escort Hong Quandao to Dongzhou, and also sent thousands of people to escort him.

Hong Quandao put down the curtain of the car, and saw that it was supposed to be the season for farming, but the land was now barren, and the farmers replaced their soldiers. This was Hong Changan's last resort.

They captured the capital and the three states of the Central Plains, but what they got was empty cities, not only the land was left without people, and there was not even a grain of grain in the official warehouse.

And this is all the plan made by Nangong Xing, she can give up the three states of the Central Plains, but what is left to Hong Changan is only empty cities, there are no people and merchants in the cities, and there is no food and grass that he urgently needs.

Although the power of the coalition forces is still huge on the surface, only Hong Changan and his son know best that their food shortages have begun, and as the supply lines get longer and longer, their food problems will only become more and more obvious.

Especially their allies, Rong Di themselves did not have much logistical capabilities, they all slaughtered cattle and sheep as military rations, and for Hong Chang'an, this was undoubtedly far from quenching his thirst.

If it is ordinary grain and grass, it can still be transported by water. If it is cattle and sheep, no matter whether they are alive or dead, the difficulty of transporting them to them is undoubtedly doubled. In addition, his soldiers are all from the Central Plains, and occasionally eat cattle and sheep. It's okay, but if cattle and sheep are used as food, it's simply impossible.

Hong Quandao went to Dongzhou because he had a dispute with his father, Hong Changan wanted to strengthen the morale of the army, and one of his tasks was to supervise the grain. He wanted to mobilize manpower to plant rice and supply food to the front in Dongzhou.

"Second brother, let's go after a while of rest!" Hong Quandao said to Hong Xia, Hong Xia stopped immediately, and a group of people sat around on the official road, regardless of whether the ground was dirty or not, anyway, there were everyone in the ten miles and eight villages , Simply chat one by one to strengthen your courage.

But this is a completely different situation in Hong Quandao's eyes. Obviously, this also shows that the people in their army are unstable, and the military discipline of the soldiers is not as good as before. Resentment is evident.

"Second brother, tell the cooks to light a fire and go on their way when they are full!" Hong Quandao looked at the soldiers who were starved and thin, and gave orders to Hong Xia.

On the surface, Hong Xia agreed, but in reality she was full of dissatisfaction with him.Anyway, he is also the eldest brother, he helped Hong Quandao a lot when he was young, but now he is driven like a servant, and he has a lot of complaints in his heart.

After giving orders to the Huotou army, Hong Xia sat under a big tree to enjoy the shade, and ignored Hong Quandao. Instead, he chatted enthusiastically with the soldiers beside him, and everyone gradually alienated Hong Quandao.

Hong Quandao frowned slightly, obviously he also felt that something was wrong with Hong Xia these days, but he always thought that Hong Xia was unhappy because the job his father gave him was too small.

So he took the initiative to get up and walked under the tree. Seeing this scene, the sergeants stood up one after another. He sat down helplessly and said, "Second brother, you have spoken a lot less these days."

"Fifth brother thinks too much, I'm just worried about the current situation!" Hong Xia's words were insincere, Hong Quandao heard his sarcasm, and hurriedly said: "Second brother, my father's arrangement at that time was also angry. When I write a letter back and say a few words for you, my father will be fine once his anger subsides!"

"Fifth brother, I really don't know whether to say you are naive or stupid!" Hong Xia was also provoked by Hong Quandao's words, seeing Hong Quandao's complexion was a bit ugly, he put away his smile and sighed: "Don't worry, Father won't promote me anymore, your third and fourth brothers and I are not father's own sons, he won't care about us!"

"How is it possible, second brother, you are thinking too much!" Only then did Hong Quandao understand Hong Xia's knot in his heart, but after saying this, Hong Xia's face suddenly drooped.

"Fifth brother, it's because you think too little. Why do you think father looked down on the three of us so much these years? Isn't it because we are not his own sons, and after the elder brother died, father looked down on us even more!" Hong Xia There was a look of resentment in his eyes.

Among their four adopted sons, Hong Chun was the most liked by Hong Chang'an, because he was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also listened to Hong Chang'an's words all the time, so the three of them were not so foolish and loyal.

As a result, Hong Chun was picked to death by Huai Yunqian. After Hong Changan rescued Hong Quandao, his attitude towards the three of them suddenly changed. Hong Xia could understand this very well. Hong Changan thought they were an eyesore.

"Fifth brother, don't worry, your two elder brothers and I will not try to take your place, I will stay in Dongzhou and will not leave anywhere. As for your third and fourth brothers, they have already proposed to their father to serve as the North Master." Line forward, when our three brothers die on the battlefield, it can be regarded as repaying father's kindness in nurturing!" After saying this, Hong Xia left.

Only Hong Quandao sat under the tree alone, feeling very uncomfortable, but what he didn't know was that all of this was deliberately staged by Hong Xia.

Hong Xia saw Hong Quandao's face changing from a distance, and felt that Nangong Xing's strategy was really a good idea. With Hong Quandao's personality, he would definitely promote himself after arriving in Dongzhou.

At that time, Hong Xia will be far away from Hong Chang'an, and the whole body will be responsible by Hong Quandao's side. Hong Quandao will definitely rely on himself, plus what he said today, Hong Quandao must feel guilty for him in his heart, and he will definitely trust himself by then.

"Fifth brother, fifth brother, don't blame the second brother! The second brother can't help it!" Hong Xia sighed, since he had already boarded the pirate ship, he would never get off again.

If Hong Changan knew that he had colluded with Nangong Xing, Hong Changan would definitely kill him to vent his anger. By that time, it would be a luxury for him to want to die.

The moment he got in touch with Nangong Xing, it was destined that he and Hong Chang'an would go to opposite sides.Since Hong Chang'an didn't trust him, he would attack Hong Quandao.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Hong Xia's mouth. He had already achieved Hong Quandao's trust, and it was time for the next step. In order to give Hong Chang'an a gift, he and Nangong Xing planned for a long time before preparing it for him. A whole set of plans.

Not long after, Nangong Xing received news from Hong Xia, and she also learned about another thing she was most concerned about. Hong Chang'an's military rations had already started to be in short supply. Right now, even Hong Quandao's soldiers had started to reduce their rations.

"Hong Chang'an was too impatient to start the incident. He only saved food and grass for one or two years in Yunzhou. Rebellion is a long-term matter. Food and grass must be prepared for at least five years, otherwise he will be dragged to death!" Huai Yunqian said nothing about it. Not surprisingly, he even felt that the consumption of the enemy's food and grass was lower than he had imagined.

"I did it on purpose. When I was withdrawing from the three states, I let them get some food and grass on purpose. It was also to dissuade Hong Chang'an from his vigilance." Nangong Xing smiled like a little fox, and Huai Yunqian's heart skipped a beat.

"Don't make trouble! You might as well think about how to talk to Zhao Bocheng if you have the skills!" Nangong Xing knocked off his hand, Huai Yunqian's expression turned bitter when he heard this.

Right now is the time for employing people, and the one hundred thousand Jiangnan disciples in Zhao Bocheng's hands are exactly what he needs most. For this reason, he specially asked Nan Gongxing to invite Zhao Bocheng, just to talk to him about this matter.

"Daughter-in-law, why don't you forget it?" Huai Yunqian suddenly froze when she walked down the corridor, and greeted Nangongsu in her heart.

"No! Go! Uncle Sun is still waiting there!" Nan Gongxing didn't give him any room to repent, and pushed him directly into the study, and then locked the door directly.

In the study, Zhao Bocheng, who was dressed in plain clothes, was drinking tea, looking at his nose, nose and heart without even lifting his head.

"Prime Minister, I haven't seen you for a long time, can you be safe at home?" Huai Yunqian then said politely, but he wanted to slap himself on the spot. Wasn't he sincerely making fun of himself, knowing that Zhao Bocheng's son died, and saying said such a sentence.

"Your Majesty, just say something!" Zhao Bocheng frowned slightly, and put the teacup on the table, Huai Yunqian said with a sneer: "My lord, I do have something to ask..."

"Want to take away those 100,000 people horses?" Zhao Bocheng had already guessed Huai Yunqian's intention, so he said it directly.

Huai Yun sighed lightly, and nodded slowly: "The Prime Minister also knows that we really need someone right now..."

"I can give you someone, but I have one condition!" Zhao Bocheng narrowed his eyes slightly, seeing this scene, Huai Yunqian's heart sank.

Sure enough, the next words made his face change: "Let Nangong Su kneel in front of me and kowtow to me three times, and you can take the 100,000 people!"

"The prime minister was joking..."

"I was serious!"

Zhao Bocheng stared at him coldly, Wuming karma gushed out.
