Chapter 549

On February 18, song Lang's northwest army first arrived in Liaoxian County, less than 20 miles from Pengcheng.

The troops of Fu Fengcheng and Lou Lanzhou are not far away. The territory of sun Jiajun is getting smaller and smaller. The original hundreds of thousands of troops are also dead, dead, down and running, scattered and out of shape.

Song Lang didn't rush to attack Pengcheng after arriving in Liaoxian County, but stopped in Liaoxian county to rest and wait for Lou Lanzhou and Fu Fengcheng to arrive.

At this time, Pengcheng had become a mess. The generals and officials under Sun Liang could no longer ignore Sun Liang's deterrence. Those who could run ran away with their possessions, and those who consciously didn't have to run hid at home. They didn't mean to struggle again for sun dujun's foundation.

Not to mention ordinary people, the streets are so chaotic these days that ordinary people almost dare not go out. Pengcheng, which was originally lively, became empty and heavy. There were only countless troops waiting for the atmosphere.

In the face of these situations, Sun Liang was unable to control them.

He knew the tide was over, but now he could not make him surrender to those people. Because he knew that even if he surrendered, no one would let him go, whether it was the military headquarters of the cabinet or the Fu Jialong family or the Song family. Since everything is dead, why doesn't he find a way to live for himself?

So, in the face of his subordinates who came to ask him to make up his mind, Sun Liang still clenched his teeth and ordered him to stick to Pengcheng.

But everyone knows that without reinforcements, what's the point if they stick to Pengcheng? The general who had just received such an order walked out of the study, looked back at the closed study door behind him, and a cold light flashed through his eyes.

"Young Marshal, Mrs. Fu Shao asked to see you." Song Lang was rarely leisurely sitting in his study reading at the headquarters of Liaoxian county. The guard outside the door told him.

Hearing the speech, song Lang immediately put down his idle book and stood up. "Mrs. Fu? She has arrived in Pengcheng? Please come in."

All the people under song Lang knew that Mrs. Fu Shao was, after all, a good friend of her eldest and youngest wife and a life-saving benefactor of her young commander. Therefore, she was particularly polite to lengsa. Lengsa was respectfully invited into the flower hall and saw song Lang sitting there waiting for her.

Seeing her coming in, song Lang immediately got up to meet her, "Madam Fu, are you all right?"

Lengsa said with a smile, "Song Shao is safe. During this time, song Shao and the northwest army have been invincible all the way. It's admirable. Congratulations on Song Shao."

Song Lang waved his hand and said, "what am I? If you want to say that brother Fu is better, please sit down."

The host and guest took their seats and brought tea. Song langcai asked curiously, "has Mrs. Shao just arrived in Pengcheng?"

Lengsa shook his head and said, "I've been in the city for a few days."

Song Lang understood with a little thought, "young lady, is it for that batch of gold?"

Leng SA nodded and said, "yes, what clues can song Shao have here?"

Song Lang shook his head and said, "we just feel that I have sent someone to check. There is no news at present. Only one thing is that no one has transported a large amount of gold out of the West in the past two months." the closer it is to the border, the more chaos it is, and the same is true in the southwest. Near the border, there are black and white people and horses. Sun Liang wants to transport so much gold out of the country. It's impossible not to manage these people well, and it's impossible not to leak a trace of information at all.

Song Lang grew up in the northwest. He had no less contact with black and white. He was also very familiar with many people on the roads in the southwest.

Leng SA said, "so that batch of gold should still be near Pengcheng." there is no gold in the west, and it is even more difficult in other directions.

But as song Lang said, it is almost impossible to transport a whole million taels of gold quietly. So... What method does Sun Liang intend to use to transport things away?

Song Lang looked at lengsa, "young lady, come here at this time. Is there any news?"

Lengsa didn't hide it and nodded, "Yes, we just got a message. After leaving Pengcheng, the gold was transported to a small village near Liaoxian county. I sent someone to check. There was something wrong with the village. My people sneaked in and found that there were many heavily armed men and horses hidden inside. The original people in the village may be controlled by them. Only a few people are outside every day All the others are unaccounted for. "

Song Lang's face was slightly heavy. "Young lady wants me to cooperate to take the village?"

Lengsa smiled, "I really want to borrow some people from Song Shao, but I'm not in a hurry. I want to make sure that the gold is still there. I just need song Shao's help to watch and don't let the people inside run away.

Song Lang generously agreed, "what's the little lady talking about? I'll send someone to watch nearby."

Lengsa said a place name. Song Lang thought about it and invited the adjutant to take the map to himself.

A moment later, song Lang's adjutant came over with a map. Song Lang soon found the place lengsa said on the map.

After staring at the map for a long time, song Lang asked, "young lady, do you think Sun Liang will take the water to carry the gold away?"

"Hmm?" Leng SA was surprised. "Isn't the waterway safe?" the waterways going out from the southwest lead to the six southern provinces. Even if Sun Liang unloaded the ship on the way and ran to the hinterland of Anxia by himself, it's not a good thing.

Song langdao, "You see, outside the village, the river is a tributary of Hejiang River, and it turns right here. Besides, it is not far from the main waterway of Hejiang River, and there is the largest wharf near Pengcheng nearby. There are a lot of ships going in and out from there every day. If I were Sun Liang, I would consider hiding yellow gold in foreign companies' merchant ships or ships that are least noticeable from Hejiang All the way to the sea. "

Lengsa didn't expect this possibility. He touched his chin and thought, "can Sun Liang rest assured of such a large amount of money?"

Song Lang said with a smile, "I don't know. Maybe there is someone he trusts most, or maybe he has to take risks? It's strange for him to choose such a place if he doesn't want to take the water to carry things away."

Indeed, this place is not far from Pengcheng, it is not close, and it is not very convenient from the road leading to all parties. It really doesn't look like a place suitable for transshipment.

Lengsa thought and said, "first check the relationship between Sun Liang and those shipping companies?"

Song Lang smiled without saying anything, but lengsa had already stood up, "Song Shao, lend you a telegram."

Song Lang said plainly, "find Wei Changxiu?" this is really the most appropriate thing to find Wei Changxiu.

Leng SA said, "now we really have to trouble Wei to be in charge."

At this time, the Wei family was still tragically trapped in the continuous war in Nile. Even if Fu Fengcheng sent Xia Weian, one of his three trusted aides, to assist him, he could not heal the damage suffered by the Wei family.

With the telegram just received, before the Weidang family had time to express their opinions, the loud explosion outside shook his hands.

Xia Wei'an looked at the window calmly and said, "it's fighting again. The guard doesn't have to worry. He can't get here."

"...." Wei was speechless.

Since the 17th regiment returned to Nile last year in disregard of the king's order and found that his son had been killed by the king and his family had been imprisoned, Sanha directly bombed. The two sides fought a bloody war.

They are now in the second largest city in Nile, which is occupied by the 17th regiment of Sanha. But the king's army is not vegetarian. Both sides have been fighting an offensive and defensive war for this city for nearly a month. There are countless deaths and injuries every day. Needless to say, the whole city is about to be blown into ruins.

In this scene, even the cold hearted and cold lung Wei's family, who wants money and doesn't want to die, can't help sighing and doing evil.

"Your family has really committed a great sin," said Wei Changxiu, fiddling with a string of rosary beads on his wrist.

Xia Wei'an disagreed and calmly said, "Wei is in charge. We haven't done anything."

Wei Changxiu snorted, "it's like this without doing anything. If he does something more, Nile will not destroy the country."

Xia Wei'an said, "Da Shao just wants to drive the Nile people out of Anxia at the least cost. It's best to let them stop invading Anxia territory. As for this war... It's not Da Shao who forced them, but they want to fight by themselves." what's wrong with defending the country?

In Xia Weian's view, Da Shao is a peerless genius.

The Nile people are miserable, but what's his business? He's an Xia. The Nile people want to invade them. They haven't sent troops across the border to retaliate against the Nile people.

Glancing at the message in the hands of Wei Changxiu, Xia Weian reminded, "Wei is in charge of the family. Don't you reply to the message of Mrs. Shao first?"

Wei Changxiu looked at the message in his hand amid the rumbling gunfire in the distance and said, "Sun Liang has a big appetite. Ships that can go to sea from the southwest... Are also easy to hide things and will not be checked all the way? Let me think..."

Wei Changxiu took out his pen and wrote on the back of the message while considering it. "There are so two families. There must not be many people who can have this ability and courage. Let them check it slowly."

When Wei Changxiu finished writing, Xia Weian took a look at the names of the two shipping companies and several merchant ships written on them, nodded and said, "thank you for being in charge of Wei. I'll send it to Mrs. Shao."

Wei Changxiu leaned back in his chair, propped his chin and said, "in fact, if Sun Liang wants to transport, let him transport. When the ship arrives in Jiangcheng, it will be directly deducted, which will save you trouble."

Xia Wei'an said, "Wei is in charge. This is the financial inventory of Southwest China." without them, they don't have to add it. After the war, Southwest China will recover without money. Can it really make southwest chaotic?

Captain Wei glanced and lost interest.

"Boss, the king of Nile has sent a secret envoy." a Nile man hurried in outside the door and whispered to the bodyguard.

Wei Changxiu slightly raised his eyebrows. "The king's Secret envoy? What can I do for you?"

The man said, "I want to buy a batch of arms from the boss."

Wei Changxiu sat up and smiled at Xia Weian in civilian clothes. "I'm here for business. Unexpectedly, the king will come to buy things with me? Doesn't he know I have a deal with Sanha?"

Xia Wei'an said: "I should know. It's because I know, so..."

The bodyguard said, "does he want to win me over?"

Xia Wei'an said, "the current situation on the king's side is not very good." Wei Dangjia has become one of the largest suppliers of imported weapons in Nile. If he can turn to the king, Sanha's access to weapons will be blocked.

"The guards don't want to trade with King Nile?"

Wei Changxiu glanced at him. "Why don't you make money? Invite people in."

At this moment, Wei Dangjia is an emotionless weapon supplier.

On February 20, the armies of Fu Fengcheng and Lou Lanzhou also arrived near Pengcheng one after another. Pengcheng was surrounded on three sides and completely became an isolated city.

In the conference room, Fu Fengcheng, song Lang and Lou Lanzhou sat together again. Lengsa also sat leisurely beside Fu Fengcheng and listened to their planning and layout.

"The three generals under Sun Liang have contacted us privately. They are ready. As long as they give an order, they can take the governor's house and catch Sun Liang alive." Lou Lanzhou said, "if everything goes well, the war in the southwest will be over soon."

Song Lang lazily played with the sabre in his hand and said, "I always think it's not going well."

Lou Lanzhou didn't understand, "what do you say?"

Song Lang thought for a moment and said, "what's that saying? A hundred footed insects die but don't freeze. I always feel that Sun Liang's disaster is easy to cause disaster for thousands of years, and it's not so easy to die..." a dead word was still on my lips, and I heard an earth shaking explosion in the distance.

The noise was so loud that even the teacups on the table in front of them shook.

"What's going on?"

Fu Fengcheng said in a deep voice, "it's the direction of Pengcheng."

Song Lang suddenly stood up and said with a low curse, "does the man surnamed sun want to kill all the people in the city?"

Fu Fengcheng said, "No."

Seeing that everyone looked at him, he added, "he doesn't have so many explosives."

"...." the crowd was speechless.

They got up and walked out of the meeting room. Sure enough, they saw the direction of Pengcheng in the distance. In the night, black clouds were swirling and the fire was burning.

Not only they, but also others were shocked by the explosion and rushed out, "what's the matter?! what's the matter?!"

"The magazine exploded?!"

Fu Fengcheng frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Fu Yucheng."

Fu Yucheng immediately came forward, "here!"

"Check it out."

Fu Yucheng didn't say much, just nodded and waved behind him. Several people quickly followed him, and soon disappeared into the night.

Not only the people outside the city, but also the people in the city were frightened.

After the huge explosion, Jiang Yu's hand, which was drinking tea, shook and a cup of tea poured directly on his thigh.

Something fell from the cupboard behind him. If Shang Feiyun hadn't caught it, he would have almost hit the back of his head.

"What's the matter? The earthquake?"

Shang Feiyun was pale and felt that her ears still had tinnitus.

"Have you ever seen such a loud earthquake? The governor's house exploded... Exploded, exploded?"

They walked quickly to the window, opened the window and looked at it. Sure enough, they saw the direction of the governor's house. There were even explosions in the fire. The few small buildings in the governor's house that they could see standing here had collapsed and disappeared.

"No!" Jiang Yu said, "those people..."

Those who had fallen to them said they were going to attack the governor's house first, capture Sun Liang alive and then surrender. Now won't they all be killed?

Shang Feiyun grabbed him and pulled him inside. "Don't those people, you'd better care about yourself first. Let's withdraw first, and the fire will burn in a moment."

They are too close to the governor's house and have not been affected by the explosion. It's really lucky. Pengcheng is full of old-fashioned buildings. If you don't go away, you won't be killed but burned.

"Send a telegram to me first!"

“……”

At this time, Sun Liang was standing not far from the city gate, happily watching the explosion that shocked the whole Pengcheng, and his eyes showed a cold and happy smile.

Those people want to betray him and think he doesn't know?

Since you want to betray him and rely on him to keep their prosperity, go to hell.

Unfortunately... Guo Huai is not there.

Thinking of Guo Huai, Sun Liang's eyes still have bursts of killing intention. If it weren't for Guo Huai's defection, why would he lose so quickly?

This thing that eats inside and outside!

It doesn't matter. When he settles down, there are ways to take care of him.

"Supervisor." the young people around Sun Liang, like him, were wearing a long coat and a hat covering half of his face, "we should go."

Sun Liang nodded and said, "it's time to go. Is everything arranged?"

The young man nodded, "it's all arranged. The supervisor can rest assured."

Sun Liang said with satisfaction, "that's good. Let's go."

Sun Liang didn't take any wives, concubines and children with him, and he didn't feel very sad or guilty about it.

Before the explosion, he sent those useless sons out to work, which was the greatest paternal love he could show.

As for their future, they can only pray for themselves. If it were sun Rui of that year, Sun Liang might hesitate, but there was no need to spend more time on those wastes who couldn't ask for martial arts.

Sun Liang doesn't worry about anything. If he wants children, he can regenerate at any time. There's no need to drag himself down with a few burdens.

After tightening his tight coat, Sun Liang turned and hid himself in the shadow of the night.
