Make up for yesterday's missing update.

Xue Rengui made a gambling contract with Gai Xianmo, and swore an oath by high-five on the spot. Then he began to prepare for the gambling contract under Phoenix.

"General Ben believes in your Xue Rengui's character, and he will personally hold this horsewhip today. If you don't shoot a horsewhip, shoot this general. Then your notoriety will live on forever. Gai Xianmo said to Xue Rengui.

"I, Xue Rengui, am not that opportunistic person, if I can't shoot your horsewhip today. In this battle of Phoenix, I, Xue Rengui, will definitely not show up again. Xue Rengui said to Gai Xianmo.

After Xue Rengui finished speaking, he took a hundred steps back. Then he picked up the treasure carving bow, put on the carving arrow, and rounded the bow. He prepared to shoot the whip in the hand of the virtuous.

Gai Xianmo held the horsewhip in his right hand and kept swinging from side to side. Let that horsewhip, without the slightest pause.

……

At the same time, someone had already reported the situation in front of the two armies to the vanguard officer Zhang Shigui. When Zhang Shigui heard that Xue Rengui was gambling in front of the two armies.

couldn't help but show a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then said with a smile to his four sons and a son-in-law: "This Xue Rengui is so proud and complacent, after a few battles. There was no one in sight. ”

"Father, if Xue Rengui is defeated in front of the two armies, wouldn't there be no chance to let him go to the front of the two armies to die." Zhang Zhilong opened his mouth and said to Zhang Shigui.

"What does his own bet have to do with me? If he dares to resist my military order and not fight, I will directly push him out of the gate and behead him. Zhang Shigui said with a cruel smile.

"My father-in-law is right, if Xue Rengui fights at that time, he will end up with a reputation for not keeping integrity. We can also exhaust him to death according to the original plan. ”

"If he wants to keep his name, he can only disobey the military order and refuse to fight. At that time, my father-in-law killed him, and no one dared to say anything. He Zongxian said with a laugh.

"Father, if Xue Rengui really wants to shoot the horsewhip, what if he wins this bet?" Zhang Zhihu opened his mouth and asked Zhang Shigui.

"Your brother-in-law has set the Tianshan Mountain with three arrows, and he is already famous all over the world. If you add this bet to win Phoenix City, I'm afraid that Wei Chigong and Xu Maogong are the two old thieves. I don't dare to say that he is not the emperor's Ying Mengxian minister. Zhang Shigui said with a smile.

……

Not to mention Zhang Shigui's father and son, Weng and his son-in-law, the five of them are daydreaming in the pioneer tent. After Xue Rengui filled the treasure eagle bow, he shot the eagle arrow according to the horsewhip a hundred paces away.

With the sound of breaking through the air, this carved arrow went directly towards the horsewhip in Gai Xianmo's hand. It's too late to say it's too fast, just in the blink of an eye.

The carved arrow broke the horsewhip in Gai Xianmo's hand. The location of the shot is exactly the three points under Gai Xianmo.

This surprised Gai Xianmo, he never thought that Xue Rengui would really be able to shoot the horse whip. So he had no choice but to throw the horsewhip in his hand on the ground.

Then he opened his mouth and said to Xue Rengui: "Xue Rengui, you really live up to your reputation, you wait here." In half an hour, I will leave Phoenix with my troops. ”

After Gai Xianmo finished speaking, he took people back to Phoenix. However, the drawbridge was not raised, and even the gates were wide open. Show your sincerity as a way to do so.

To say that after this Gai Xianmo returned to the city, he ordered the whole army to go out of the city and head towards Phoenix Mountain. Even the people in the city followed Gai Xianmo out of Phoenix.

In fact, it was not Gai Xianmo who was trustworthy, but the general Gai Suwen he received in the army. Ordered him to cede Phoenix City to the Tang Army, and then led his troops to ambush in Phoenix Mountain.

That's why this Gai Xianmo made a bet with Xue Rengui in Phoenix. In order to find a reasonable reason to lead the troops out of Phoenix.

Of course, Xue Rengui didn't know this, he only knew that Gai Xianmo left Phoenix City with his troops in accordance with the gambling contract. I can't help but think that Gai Xianmo is a man who does what he says.

When Xue Rengui led the Huotou Army into Phoenix City, he found that the huge Phoenix City had become an empty city.

Xue Rengui ordered the Huotou Army to check the entire Phoenix City. I am afraid that Gai Xianmo will be in the city and lay a trap.

After all, the example of Jili City is in front of everyone's eyes. Therefore, we must not repeat the mistakes of the past in any case, and we must be cautious.

After some careful inspection, Zhou Qing returned to Xue Rengui. There is nothing suspicious about the whole of Phoenix.

"Since this is the case, immediately send someone to inform Zhang Shigui and tell him that he can bring troops into the city." Xue Rengui nodded and said to Zhou Qing.

At this time, Xue Rengui was not worried, Gai Xianmo was making an empty plan. Because even if he traps the vanguard army in Phoenix.

Wei Chigong's Chinese army will also arrive soon, and the siege of Phoenix will naturally be over. Of course, Gai Xianmo would not do such a stupid thing.

Let Phoenix, which has a geographical advantage, not defend it, and then go to the siege with no chance of winning. There is no difference between a virtuous man and a fool.

Therefore, Xue Rengui was very relieved and ordered someone to inform Zhang Shigui. Let Zhang Shigui lead the troops to garrison Phoenix. Because it couldn't be an empty city plan, Xue Rengui was naturally relieved.

When Zhang Shigui got Xue Rengui and sent the news. The vanguard army has not yet finished its camp. It is conceivable how quickly Xue Rengui took Phoenix City.

But at this point, there is no need for the camp to be set up again. So Zhang Shigui ordered people to pull out the camp and lead the troops to enter Phoenix City.

At the same time, Zhang Shigui ordered someone to write down the good news and reported the victory to Wei Chigong. Of course, all the credit for Xue Rengui is credited to his son-in-law He Zongxian.

……

"Your Majesty, Zhang Shigui of the vanguard army sent good news, saying that the vanguard army arrived at Phoenix City and took Phoenix City in less than an hour. Now the vanguard army has entered the city. Wei Chigong said to Li Shimin.

"A huge Phoenix city was taken down in less than an hour. I'm afraid there's something else going on here. After thinking about it, Li Shimin asked Wei Chigong.

"The emperor is right, Zhang Shigui said in the good news. It was his son-in-law He Zongxian, and the guard of Phoenix City, Gai Xianmo, who bet in front of Phoenix City to shoot a horse whip ......" Then Wei Chigong told Li Shimin what happened.

"Hahaha, worthy of being my Ying Mengxian minister. Unexpectedly, the soldiers were bloodless, and they took Phoenix. Li Shimin laughed and said after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, since Phoenix City has been taken, why don't we set up troops and go to Phoenix City. Then they discussed crossing the Yalu River and approaching Sanjiang Yuehucheng. Wei Chigong opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

"Everything is arranged by Brother Wei Chi, but this Anshi Prefecture and Tianshan Mountain must be left with capable people to guard it." Li Shimin said to Wei Chigong.

"The emperor can rest assured, the minister has already arranged it." Wei Chigong said to Li Shimin.

So early the next morning, Wei Chigong ordered the whole army to rush to Phoenix. Li Shimin was protected by a group of Wagang heroes, and he also rushed to Phoenix City with the army.
