Regarding the matter of uniting Wang Shichong and Zhang Dejin, Wei Zheng held an absolutely supportive attitude.

In fact, when Dou Jiande just accepted Wang Shichong's invitation, he was not willing to send anyone here. In his opinion, he and Luo Cheng were, after all, former allies. Wasn't he raising troops just to respond to Peking's righteous deeds? ?

Although Dou Jiande knew in his heart that he would eventually have to engage in a head-on battle with the Peking army, but this was not what he should do at this time.

Fortunately, Wei Zheng was around. After seeing the invitation, without saying a word, he began to persuade Dou Jiande to send him to Wang Shichong for negotiations.

Wei Zheng is not stupid. He does not have the heroic temperament of Dou Jiande. He understands in his heart that their power is far, far behind that of Peking. Under such circumstances, if they want to finally compete with Peking for world hegemony, they must Use the power of others to fight against Peiping, or even destroy Peiping.

Wei Zheng had a high status in Dou Jiande's military camp, and with his hard work, Dou Jiande finally agreed to send him here.

Therefore, for Wei Zheng now, he must try his best to broker the formation of this alliance. After all, his lord's attitude is ambiguous now. If he doesn't finalize this matter as soon as possible, he may not have this opportunity in the future.

When Wang Shichong heard Wei Zheng's words, he gritted his teeth secretly, looked at Wang Yongzhi and said:

"Wang Yongzhi, I am not interested in bargaining with you now. You can give me the terms of your Mingzhou King. If it is suitable, we should form an alliance as soon as possible. I don’t want your Mingzhou King to be in Henan. Will another force emerge?"

In Luo Cheng's military camp.

At this time, one day had passed since the time Luo Cheng had promised. When the cavalry under Wang Shichong saw Luo Cheng facing their harassment, they did not even dare to take a step out of the camp.

"It seems that the Peking army is not as scary as the rumors say. Luo Cheng, who has been blown away by others, now faces us and has no choice but to hide in the military camp."

A cavalryman looked at his companions next to him and said contemptuously. When the others heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, I was originally worried about whether Luo Cheng, who was rumored to be a miraculous person, would be in any danger if he came out to deal with us, but now it seems that I was overthinking this."

In the handsome tent, Luo Cheng was resting at this time. Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in the tent.

Facing the appearance of this person, Luo Cheng didn't show any surprise at all. Instead, he asked lightly:

"What news did you get from Wang Shichong?"

This person is an spy named Xu Bao who Xu Maogong had arranged for Dou Jiande earlier.

Xu Bao was dressed in black. After hearing Luo Cheng's inquiry, he said respectfully:

"Little Marquis, it seems that Wang Shichong has no intention of doing right by you alone. After hearing the news that you led the army to Henan, he instead returned all his troops to Anyang City."

The man replied lightly.

When Luo Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but frown. He originally expected Wang Shichong to lead his troops to attack him when he saw that he was single and weak, but looking at the current situation, it seemed that He overestimated Wang Shichong.

"However, the young marquis, Wang Shichong, met with Wei Zheng under the command of Xia King Dou Jiande and Wang Yongzhi, the right-hand man of Mingzhou King Zhang Dejin, this afternoon. He seemed to want to unite the two forces to fight against the young marquis."

"oh? It seems that Wang Shichong is much smarter than I thought. So what was the result of their negotiation? Luo

Cheng asked lightly.

"I don’t know about this little one. They were negotiating in a closed room at the time. But I heard that Wang Shichong seemed to have returned all the two cities and seven counties that he had recently plundered from Mingzhou Wang Zhang Dejin to Zhang Dejin.."

It seems that Wang Shichong paid a lot of money to win over

Zhang Dejin. You know, Zhang Dejin also has an army of more than 100,000 people. In this way, Luo Cheng and the others will form a situation where they have to fight against one enemy. Five?

That’s not counting Dou Jiande’s involvement. If Dou Jiande gets involved, the situation Luo Chengsuo will face will only get worse.

"Okay, you go back first. Remember, if you have any news, report it to me as soon as possible."

When Xu Bao heard Luo Cheng's words, he immediately turned around and left the handsome tent. As soon as

Xu Bao left, Qin Shubao and Xu Maogong walked out from behind the screen.

At this time, their faces were not very good-looking.

After all, if these three parties join forces, then their situation will not be very good. The absolute advantage in military strength cannot be easily compensated by a few masters.

What's more, they are still serving as the attacker.

"Little Marquis, what should we do now, or take advantage of the fact that before they can unite, we send troops to defeat Wang Shichong?"

Xu Maogong suggested at this time.

Hearing this, Luo Cheng couldn't help laughing.

"Mr. Xu Maogong, your attitude has changed a bit quickly. Didn't you suggest that I hold my troops temporarily and let Wang Shichong relax his vigilance? Why are you suddenly suggesting that I send troops to attack now?"

Xu Maogong couldn't help but was speechless for a moment. The reason why he had previously advised Luo Cheng to hold his troops was because their military strength was still far behind Wang Shichong's.

If he led his army to attack rashly, he would suffer heavy casualties, which would be detrimental to the future. attack on the Sui army.

But now, with the alliance of Wang Shichong, Zhang Dejin, and Dou Jiande, the situation on the battlefield has changed. If they do not send troops at this time, once the three parties are completely united, with their strength, There were still difficulties in defense, let alone attack.

Seeing Xu Maogong's embarrassed look, Luo Cheng couldn't help laughing.

Naturally, he understood what Xu Maogong meant, and Luo Cheng himself also understood Xu Maogong's two suggestions. , are all very good strategies, and definitely lived up to my high expectations for him.

"Little Marquis, I didn't think carefully enough before. I didn't expect that Wang Shichong would join forces with Zhang Dejin and Dou Jiande, and I didn't expect that Wang Shichong would agree to give up the territory he had worked so hard to plunder to Zhang Dejin, in order to benefit both parties. Let's jointly create conditions and hope that the young marquis will be punished."
