The breeze blows, and the county seat of Xixian County in the dark night is not as quiet as imagined, like the tranquility before the storm, which makes people feel particularly depressed.

"How many people died during the day?"

In the county office, Pang Cong calmly asked his subordinates on the side, although the confusion on his face was covered by the orange candlelight, the hand on the wooden table was shaking unnaturally.

"Back to the general, there are not many dead and wounded, less than two hundred。。。。。 But..... The subordinate covered in armor hesitated a little, and when he saw Pang Cong's questioning face, he continued to answer, "General... However, the movement during the day made many brothers feel uneasy, and now they are talking about it in private. If the Tiance army on the other side continues to do this tomorrow, I'm afraid the brothers will not be able to hold on, and even... Or even run away! ”

After speaking, the general looked at Pang Cong cautiously, and also knew the seriousness of this matter. If there are a large number of deserters, then it will be a joke to hold this West County, let alone hold on until reinforcements arrive.

"They dare!"

Hearing the escape, it seemed to have struck Pang Cong's heart, and he slapped the table and stood up with an angry face.

"Pass my order, let the soldiers give me a good look at the east gate, whoever dares to escape, give me a kill on the spot, if you want to run, there is no door!"

"This...

Just when the subordinates next to him hesitated to agree, there was a lot of movement outside, and soon a hurried footsteps rushed in.

Just as Pang Cong was about to get angry, the personal soldier who came in immediately said, "General, something is wrong, General Yang is going to take his troops out of the city!" ”

"What? Where are they? Pang Cong stood up in disbelief and asked.

"Returning to the general, they are at the east gate, if the general doesn't stop it quickly, General Yang may let people forcibly seize the east gate and leave."

"They dare!"

Pang Cong hurriedly gathered his own soldiers and left the house, but when he arrived, he found that Yang Shouzhong really dared. Although Pang Cong was the commander, the Zhongwu Badu and the Yang brothers all had their own troops, and he was only the commander in name.

When he arrived at the east gate, Yang Shouzhong's men were confronting one of the generals guarding the east gate, and the two sides had already drawn their weapons, and if he hadn't arrived in time, they might have already fought. You must know that Yang Shouzhong has more than 1,000 people on his side, and he basically brought most of his troops over.

"What do you want to do with the surname Yang?" Pang Cong shouted.

Seeing Pang Cong arrive, although Yang Shouzhong put away the saber, he didn't have any good looks on his face, "What are you doing?" Out of town only! ”

"What out of the city, you are escaping!" Pang Cong's voice was very loud, obviously wanting to make a big deal and gain the moral upper hand first.

Pang Cong's meaning, Yang Shouzhong didn't know, and sneered, "Whatever you say, I won't let my brother die here anyway." Pang Cong, today, either you open the city gate for me, we are still brothers; Or, I'll let my people open the gates, and then don't blame me for not remembering my comrades for many years. ”

"You dare!" Pang Cong also didn't expect Yang Shouzhong to leave so determined, and he was a little lacking in confidence, but he still tried not to show it on his face as much as possible, "The handsome will be here soon." If you escape now, and the festival commander will blame you at that time, don't blame me for not reminding you. If you break the big thing of the festival commander, you know what the consequences will be. ”

"What can he do with me? My brothers are here, so if he wants to fight us, will he be able to fight us? Yang Shouzhong sneered, looking at Pang Cong pitifully, "Pang Cong, I advise you to go with me, there is only one way to die if you stay in this West County."

Haven't you understood why the imperial army has not attacked Xixian? Don't tell me that the imperial army can't fight or anything, otherwise it would be impossible for you to lose so many people in Qipanguan.

The flying fire during the day, do you think it's just that? If there were a few more trebuchets that could shoot fire, how long do you think the walls of Xixian County would last?

The reason why the imperial army did not attack was that they were waiting for the army surnamed Lu, and when the time came, if the imperial army came up with dozens of such trebuchets at once, which of us do you think would be able to resist? After a few rounds, our brothers will suffer heavy casualties and their morale will plummet.

Don't you understand? We are a pawn, a pawn that allows the imperial army to bring us all together. At that time, the imperial army with the heavenly fire in hand can defeat us in one fell swoop, and then occupy the entire Xingyuan Mansion.

For the sake of many years of friendship, that's all I can say, if you want to stay here and die, I don't care, but if you want to drag me and my brothers to die together, I don't agree. Most of them are brothers who came out of Xuzhou and Chenzhou with me, and I have to bring them back, and I can't let them all die in this foreign land. ”

Yang Shouzhong's words made Pang Cong fall silent, and at this time, Yang Shouzhong came to the gate of the city again, forcing the soldiers guarding the city to open the door for him.

"General...

Looking at the situation at the city gate, the subordinates next to him reminded the pensive Pang Cong.

Pang Cong slowly raised his head, looked at Yang Shouzhong, who had made up his mind, his face was a little hesitant, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "Open the door and let him go!" ”

"General, no!"

"Didn't you hear me? Let him go! Did you all listen to what I said? ”

"Don't dare!"

With Pang Cong's order, the soldiers guarding the city at the east gate slowly opened the city gate, and then looked at the soldiers of Yang Shouzhong's department who were holding torches and poured out towards the east gate.

The soldiers who fished in troubled waters and followed out of the city were also noticed by Pang Cong and Yang Shouzhong. However, the former's face was a little ugly, and the latter turned over on his horse with a smile on his face, and laughed at Pang Cong, "See? This is what the military wants. ”

After speaking, Yang Shouzhong waved his horsewhip and rode out of the city under the passage let by the soldiers. A quarter of an hour later, the east gate of Xixian County, which had been very lively, soon became deserted, except for the sparse soldiers at the city gate and on the city tower, there was no one else, and the people were hiding at home and did not dare to get involved in these things.

Looking at at at least half of the soldiers under his command who had fled, and then thinking that most of the soldiers at the North Gate and the West Gate had also followed Yang Shouzhong out of the city, Pang Cong's whole person suddenly became decadent.

"General, what now?" The subordinate next to him asked tentatively.

"Close the gates and go home!" Pang Cong said coldly, but after walking for a while, he turned around and ordered, "Send someone to report to the Tiance Army, and say that Yang Shouzhong has run east with more than 1,000 infantry." ”

"General, this is not appropriate, is it..." The subordinate next to him swallowed his saliva and hesitated.

You must know that the Tiance Army has cavalry, and if it is caught up by the cavalry of the Tiance Army, Yang Shouzhong's more than 1,000 people will be 。。。。。

"What's out of place? Do as I command, and since they are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust. Do you think I have nothing wrong with them? ”

After speaking, Pang Cong turned over and got on the horse, and then went to the mansion. When he returned to the house, he locked himself in the room, and then he didn't know what he was doing in it, until after dawn the next day, Pang Cong, with bloodshot eyes, came out of the room and ordered the maid to bathe and change clothes.

Pang Cong's reaction made the subordinates very strange, and they wanted to ask what was going on, but when they saw the other party who didn't sleep well, they all swallowed the words in their mouths.

。。。。。。

"General Han, I don't know what the conditions of Jin Guogong said? As long as you promise to help Chen Dashuai win the Sword Gate Pass, you will definitely be indispensable to the history of Yizhou Assassin at that time. Such a good opportunity, General Han should not miss it, if he waits for General Gao to defeat the Dongchuan army, it will be useless for General Han to regret it. ”

In the front compartment of the Tiance Army, in Han Jian's military tent, an ordinary scribe was standing in front of Han Jian, looking at Han Jian with a smile on his face.

"A history of stabbing in one state? Jin Guogong's hand is big, but this is just a blank check, how does Han know if you are here to deceive Han? When the time comes, don't wait for Han to just send out the army, and your handsome will regret it, so won't Han have no way out? ”

Looking at the person in front of him, Han Jian smiled lightly, although the conditions given by the other party were good, he did not immediately agree.

The person who came from Xichuan was an envoy sent by Tian Lingzi to lobby Han Jian. Since the person who came was a eunuch and brought a token from the palace, Han Jian did not doubt the identity of the other party, but he was still a little hesitant.

There are two reasons for his hesitation, one is whether Tian Lingzi's guarantee is reliable, if it is just a blank check, if he betrays King Shou at that time, the end can be imagined; The second is to worry about the reaction of King Shou's side, he now has his and Li Shitai's soldiers and horses in hand, and there are also Wang Jian and Sun Jiameng's troops in the front compartment, if he betrays King Shou, will these two people send troops.

As for the first person who asked him to attack Lizhou, he directly refused. Joke, although he surrendered to King Shou out of desperation, he didn't want to go to death, the defense of Lizhou was not something he could take, even if he added all the troops in the front compartment, it was not necessarily, he still had this self-knowledge.

Of course, there is another point, he is also thinking about whether to betray King Shou and turn to Tian Lingzi. If it is about power, there is no doubt that Tian Lingzi is powerful, and he can only be a deputy commander in the front compartment under the command of King Shou, which looks like that, but in addition to commanding the headquarters army, he does not have much power.

And the reason why Tian Lingzi sent people to persuade him was nothing more than that the current war in Lutouguan was unfavorable. In other words, although the army commanded by Gao Renhou had defeated Yang Shili's army in Deyang, the main force of the Dongchuan Army had withdrawn to Lutou Pass, and now it should be a stalemate at Lutou Pass. In order to be able to fight against the Xichuan army, Yang Shili sent troops from all over Dongchuan to reinforce Lutouguan.

At this time, Tian Lingzi sent someone to find him, probably because he saw that the troops on the side of Jianmen Pass were weak. Although the defensive strength of Jianmen Pass has been greatly reduced now, it is not something that Han Jian can break through, so he is also hesitating.
