Shenwu City.

A city on the bank of the Sanggan River, a hundred miles away from Mayi City, and one hundred and twenty miles away from Yunzhong City. It is located in the middle reaches of the Sanggan River, the southern end of the Datong Basin, the Hengshan Mountains in the south, and is the watershed of the Sanggan River and the Hutuo River.

It can be said that if it were not for the close proximity to the border and the long-term turmoil, the conditions here are actually quite good, there are several rivers such as the Sanggan River in the territory, the water source is abundant, and the topography of the basin makes it a very flat and fertile land.

It's just that because it is too close to the border, the advantage of Shenwu City will turn into weakness, and there is no danger to defend, once the Hu people invade, Shenwu City will inevitably be destroyed.

In Shenwu City, stationed here is Gao Manzheng, Liu Wuzhou's brother-in-law, who was named the acting national line Taishang Shuling and the Taishou of Mayi County at this time.

At the beginning, he was also one of the backbones who instigated Liu Wuzhou's rebellion, but now he is a little hesitant. Before the rebellion, he was the founding earl of Great Qin, and the emperor also transferred him to Hebei to serve as Taishou. After the rebellion, although he was very excited to become a general and a big stage, this excitement did not last long.

Emperor Qin personally drove north, and the coalition army, which originally seemed to be incomparably powerful, actually lost one after another.

Now that the emperor is surrounded in Yanmen, the two counties of Yanmen are almost lost, Gao Kaidao, Song Jingang, Zhen Zhai'er and others have been defeated, and even Li Tang's 80,000 reinforcements have also been defeated.

Gao Manzheng persuaded Liu Wuzhou to rebel, that was because he wanted to be a bigger official and a higher lord, but the high-ranking officials of this generation of the country could not be a few days now, so it was worthless.

"General, the one who knows the times is Junjie, you see that Liu Wuzhou is about to perish, this ship is about to sink, does the general want to go all the way to the dark, and he has to die with him?"

In Shenwu City, in Gao Manzheng's study, two men were persuading him.

One of them was an acquaintance of Gao Manzheng, who had persuaded them to kill Wang Rengong, and the other was Hu Daen of the Xia army.

This combination is very surprising, after all, it is not strange for Wu Shi Tong to appear here as a person from the Qin Qin's Commander's Mansion, but it is strange that Xia Jun Liu Heimin's subordinates appeared here, and he still came with Wu Shi Tong.

"You see that the general of Da En knows more about current affairs, he took the initiative to find us to attach, and after receiving his letter, our emperor immediately gave him the surname of the country and changed his name to Luo Daen, and awarded him the title of the founding marquis of Dingxiang."

Hu Daen was originally a general under Liu Heimin, retreating from the clouds to Lingqiu Road, he served as the task of the palace, and then he had been quietly contacting the spies of the Qin army, and finally was rebelled, so he led his troops to break away from Liu Heimin.

Emperor Luo Cheng was also very happy that Hu Daen led 5,000 people to vote, and generously awarded him a founding marquis, and also gave him a martial rank from the third grade, and even gave the country surname.

However, on the surface, Hu Daen did not openly vote for Qin, but led his troops to the southwest to the vicinity of Shenwu, saying that he had come to vote for Gao Manzheng. This operation was actually carried out under the guidance of Qin Jun, after all, Hu Daen originally planned to go to Fanyang in the northeast, but Qin Guo thought that he might as well go south.

If Gao Manzheng can rebel, he will enter Shenwu City and besiege Ma Yi together. If Gao Manzheng is not attached, then attack Shenwu City.

Gao Manzheng was a little hesitant.

He was more worried that he was different from Hu Daen after all, Hu Daen was a person from the Xia State before, and he used to be a soldier of the Sui Dynasty, and later killed Wang Rengong to join the Qin army, and then persuaded Liu Wuzhou to oppose Luo Cheng.

"General Gao, please accept the holy decree."

At the critical moment, the samurai took out a holy decree.

This is the emperor's reward for Gao Manzheng.

Awarded the champion general Wu Sanjie of the three products, and actually awarded the general of the three products Zuo Wuwei, Ma Yi Taishou, and the founding marquis of Shanyin County.

In addition, the emperor also gave Gao Manzheng a golden coupon to avoid death in the future, and all the past things are not to blame.

This is an official to an official, and a knight to a knight, not only exempted from past crimes, but even gave an additional death penalty coupon, and in the future, if he commits any capital crimes again, he can still pay for death.

With such a guarantee, Gao Manzheng couldn't help but be moved.

The founding marquis of Shanyin County, a real feudal founding marquis, Wu Shi Tong said that the knighthood system is now being revised, and in the future, the founding lord of the real seal will have a real fief and a real feudal household, and it can be hereditary.

That's a lot more valuable than the founding uncle before him.

Not to mention, a real three-grade official rank.

"Does the general have any other concerns? My emperor is lenient and generous, you look at the many generals and nobles in the court today, they were also enemies of our emperor before, and now they are also gathered in front of my throne? Even after Li Mi and Wang Bodang, Chen Ling, Wei Wensheng, Pei Renji and others were attached, they were all so reused, what else should the general worry about? ”

Samurai Tong used the same clever mouth he used to be a businessman, and he was dispelling the last bit of hesitation from Gao Manzheng.

"If the general leads his troops to join now and makes another contribution, I am afraid that the founding marquis will soon be promoted to the founding county prince or even the founding county prince."

Luo Daen also encouraged Gao Manzheng, saying that we are just rough people, and we don't have the ambition to fight for hegemony, we just want to earn a wife and a son with a pair of fists in this troubled world, and also be a nobleman of the new dynasty. Therefore, why don't we keep our eyes open and embrace this true dragon son together?

"I joined forces with General Gao, there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and now the Turkic Association led 50,000 troops south to reinforce Liu Wuzhou in Yanmen, if we follow the example of General Heiye Dali in a battle, but also come to an urn to catch turtles and close the door and beat dogs, and kill the Turkic army to join the Qin Emperor, wouldn't it be a big achievement?"

At this time, Wu Shitong told Gao Manzheng several of the latest military information.

"General Gao is afraid that he doesn't know that Gao Tansheng and Gao Kaidao have both been killed in Huairong, and now it is not only the 8,000 feudal soldiers who are coming to the foot of the Fuzhen Mountain, but also the main force of the more than 40,000 General Zhao Gui's army that is arriving later. Also, King Zhao and King Wei also defeated the Xia army in Hebei one after another, and now Dou Jiande is too busy to take care of himself. ”

"Again, the King of Jin has defeated the Tang army one after another, captured Feng and Ling Prefectures, and is now about to join forces with Li Rail, who is attached to Hexi, and send troops to Chang'an."

It was the first time Gao Manzheng heard this information, and he was stunned. Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that Gao Tansheng and Gao Kaidao of Huairong in Zhuojun County actually died?

Not long ago, he had seen Gao Kaidao under Cloud City.

Night falls.

The 50,000 Turkic army led by the Jie Hui Society formed a long dragon and passed through Shenwu City.

The Turks had already sent people over to ask Shenwu City to prepare grain and grass.

A few years ago, hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops went south to surround Yang Guangyu Yanmen, and they once broke through more than 40 cities in Yanmen Mayi, and now they came again, although a group of people have changed, but the virtue is still the same.

Grab where you go.

Gao Manzheng personally led people out of the city to welcome the Yurate Society into the city, saying that he would prepare a banquet in the city to catch him and wash the dust.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be quite filial." The president of the association rate was very obese, and he spoke stammering Chinese, and as soon as the words came out, Gao Manzheng's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"Please enter the city!"

That night, 50,000 Turkic troops camped outside Shenwu City, and Gao Manzheng sent grain and grass, and prepared a lot of wine and meat to reward the army. And in the city, there is a rich banquet, and a lot of kabuki and dancing girls are also prepared to help the fun.

The feast lasted until the second half of the night, and the Society and his Turkic army were so happy that they fell asleep in a drunken state of contentment.

On the fourth watch, a fire broke out in the city, and the courtyard where the Turkic generals such as the Yushi Society lived suddenly caught fire, and the flames soared into the sky, which could be seen inside and outside the city.

With the fire, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of Gao Manzheng's Ma Yi and Hu Daen's soldiers and horses attacked inside and outside, storming the Turkic camp outside the city. Many Turks died of the insanity of the arrows before they could wake up.

The melee lasted until dawn, when the warriors Tan, Gao Manzheng, and Hu Daen led an army of 15,000 anyway, attacked the Turkic military camp at night, killing more than 8,000 people, capturing more than 10,000, and the rest of the Turks fled to the clouds, less than 30,000.
