Before they could figure out what was going on, Zhang Yan led the Danyang soldiers to rush out from both sides of the road, with a momentum like a tiger, and he waved the blade in his hand and killed his subordinates.

These people were suddenly attacked, they were killed by surprise, they were all frightened, and Zhu Rong was dead, and the dragons were leaderless, and they suddenly became a pot of porridge.

Zhang Yan and the others took advantage of the chaos to kill and quickly decisive, and in just a moment, the three hundred cavalry under Zhenrong had all been killed.

Although the place of the battle was close to Xiapi, the view was blocked by a high post, and the battle outside the city was not visible to the soldiers standing on the city walls. This is also one of the reasons why Weishenme, Zhang Yan chose this place as an ambush site.

After the battle, Zhang Yan found Zhenrong's body, cut off his head with a knife, jumped on the dark cloud snowhorse with Zhenrong's head, and galloped towards Xiapi City with five hundred intact Danyang soldiers behind him.

At this time, the gate of Xiapi City was wide open, and the people and merchants came in and out, which was particularly lively.

Zhang Yan led this bloodied cavalry to suddenly appear, breaking the original calm in an instant, and in an instant, the group came to the city of Xiapi.

"If you don't want to die, get out of the way!" Zhang Yan shouted at the pedestrians at the city gate.

The sound was as loud as rolling thunder, and the pedestrians at the city gate saw the army galloping and immediately avoided it.

The soldiers who were originally guarding the gate of the city, before they could react, were knocked away by the horses that rushed over, Zhang Yan led people into the city of Xiapi, galloped in the city, and soon came to the gate of the Taishou Mansion.

Zhang Yan reined in his horse and shouted at the Taishou Mansion: "Where is Xiapi Cheng? ”

When the people guarding the door saw that Zhang Yan and the others were menacing, and there was still a human head hanging on the horse, they were so frightened that they couldn't possess their bodies, and immediately ran into the Taishou Mansion.

The arrival of Zhang Yan and others was like a boulder, which suddenly stirred up a thousand waves on the calm water surface of Xiapi.

A group of cavalry rushed over from the direction of the city gate, and the leader was a military horse, and he was also taken aback when he saw Zhang Yan's horse with the head of the man tied to the necklace of the horse, and immediately shouted: "He killed the Prime Minister, surround them quickly, don't let this group of people escape!" ”

With the order of Sima of that army, the guards of Xiapi City, who came one after another, scattered in all directions and surrounded Zhang Yan and others, but no one dared to act rashly.

Zhang Yan looked around, sneered, and shot a contemptuous look in his eyes, waiting quietly in place, without any worry.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in an official uniform walked out of the Taishou Mansion, and the man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes was Xia Picheng.

He saw that Zhang Yan's face was cold, his sharp eyes were staring at him tightly like a poisonous snake, and there was a trace of fear in his heart, and Zhang Yan's head tied to the neck of the horse was dripping with blood, obviously he had just died.

He trembled and walked to the door of the Taishou Mansion, and a group of officials came out of the mansion and stood in front of him, and then he mustered up the courage to say: "I am Xiapi Cheng Zhou Kui, who are you?" But the voice was still a little shaky.

"I'm Peng Chengxiang, Captain Wuwei Zhang Yan!" Zhang Yan said loudly.

After hearing this, Zhou Kui gasped, he never expected that the famous Zhang Yan would appear here. Xiapi borders Pengcheng, Zhang Yan became famous in Pengcheng in a battle, and the deeds of driving away Cao Cao have already spread throughout Xiapi, and Zhou Kui, as Xiapi Cheng, knows it clearly.

He hurriedly arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be Lord Zhang, who has admired the name for a long time, but I haven't seen it, and I don't want to meet here today, so it's better to meet than ......to meet if it's famous."

The military Sima who originally brought the troops shouted: "My lord, Zhang Yan killed the prime minister for no reason, and then led the troops to break into the city, there is no difference between him and the thief, if you don't capture him......"

didn't wait for this military Sima to finish speaking, but Zhou Kui scolded angrily: "Presumptuous! Lord Zhang came to quell the traitors on the order of Tao Envoy, what is the crime? ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Kui immediately took out a letter from his sleeve, lit it up in front of everyone, and shouted loudly: "This is a secret letter sent to me by Tao Envoy Jun the day before yesterday, the letter said that Zhen Rong was a subordinate minister, but he did not care for the people, built a large number of buildings, forced the people to Buddha, and then embezzled grain, grass, and military salaries, and colluded with the thieves, and even set up for robbery, which is a great crime. Tao Envoy Jun has secretly appointed Zhang Yan, the prime minister of Pengcheng, to come to the crusade, and asked me to act as an internal response and a camera. Now that Zhenrong has been ambushed, if you don't give up the darkness and turn to the light, you will definitely end up with the same fate as Zhenrong! ”

After hearing this, the soldiers all looked at each other, and they all knew what Zhen Rong was doing.

When Di Rong was alive, wasn't Zhou Kui exactly the henchman of Di Rong, at this time, even Zhou Kui stood up against Ji Rong, saying that Ji Rong was a thief and should be killed. Those of them who are soldiers, as long as they can have something to eat, follow everyone the same.

Zhou Kui himself is a celebrity in the Xiapi area, and he has served in Xiapi Cheng at the beginning, and belongs to Tao Qian's account. Later, Zhenrong came, and his good days came to an end. Although he didn't like Zhenrong, he had no choice but to make compromises.

Once, he also wrote a secret letter to Tao Qian at one time, telling him about the black state of Zhenrong. But Tao Qian had no way to deal with Zhenrong, and over time, Zhou Kui saw that the complaint was invalid, so he stopped writing letters, but tried his best to have a good relationship with Zhenrong, and gave Zhenrong ideas, and gradually gained Zhenrong's trust.

But in his heart, he has always hated Zhenrong, and today Zhenrong was killed, and no one was happier than him. Moreover, he himself is more familiar with current affairs, and as soon as the conversation changed, he pointed the gun at the dead Zhenrong, and then said this.

To say, Zhou Kui still has a certain influence in Xiapi, and after listening to his words, many soldiers were a little moved on their faces, and gradually lost their fighting spirit.

Seeing this, Zhou Kui hurriedly shouted: "If you don't want to be guilty of the same crime as the anti-thief, put down your arms immediately and will not be prosecuted, otherwise, the crime will be the same!" ”

As soon as these words came out, they heard countless loud noises, and the soldiers dropped their weapons one after another.

At this time, Xu Sheng galloped from outside the city with another 500 cavalry, and the Xiapi soldiers got out of the way, so that Xu Sheng and others were able to gather together with Zhang Yan.

Xu Sheng saw that many weapons had been dropped on the ground, and all the soldiers in Xiapi had no fighting spirit, and it seemed that the scene had been controlled, so he rode to Zhang Yan's side and asked, "Master, are you okay?" ”

Zhang Yan said: "Thanks to Xia Pi Cheng's knowledge of current affairs, he persuaded them to surrender, otherwise it would inevitably be another fight." ”

He jumped off the horse, walked straight to the door of the Taishou Mansion, and arched his hand towards Zhou Kui: "Lord Zhou, the crime is only in Zhenrong, and it has nothing to do with others. It's just that I still have some things that I want to discuss with Master Zhou in detail, can you take a step to speak? ”

Zhou Kui understood what Zhang Yan meant, and immediately asked the officials to get out of the way and invited Zhang Yan into the Taishou Mansion.

Zhang Yan strutted forward, letting Xu Sheng and the others stay outside the Taishou Mansion, and he followed Zhou Kui into the hall of the Taishou Mansion.

As soon as he entered the hall, Zhang Yan bowed respectfully to Zhou Kui and said: "If it weren't for Lord Zhou's inspiration today, saying that Zhen Rong is a thief, I'm afraid that he is still fighting now, and Zhang will still be here." ”

Zhou Kui saw Corporal Zhang Yanlixian, there was no arrogance at all, and immediately said: "Lord Zhang doesn't have to be like this, but I should be Xiexie Master Zhang." Today, Lord Zhang is in the hands of the people, and he removes a harm for the next Pi, which is a great good deed for the benefit of the people. Although Zhou is a subordinate Picheng, he is powerless in the face of Zhenrong's misdeeds, and he is really ashamed of Tao Zhijun......"

Zhang Yan saw that Zhou Kui was sleek, witty and alert, and very knowledgeable about current affairs, and he was a talent, but what he had in his hands was talent at the moment, so he had the intention of soliciting. He said: "Lord Zhou, Di Rong has been under the rule of Pi for a long time, I believe that there will be many henchmen under his subordinates, if you don't take advantage of this opportunity to wipe them out, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with in the future." As the saying goes, the grass must be cut to the roots, what does Lord Zhou think? ”

Zhou Kui smiled and said: "Yes, yes, what Master Zhang said is right, we must cut the grass and eradicate the roots......

"Lord Zhou should have a lot of time in Xiapi, I believe he must know who are Zhenrong's henchmen, right?"

Zhou Kui nodded again and again, and said, "I know it all clearly, don't worry, I will definitely tell the adults the truth." ”

After speaking, Zhou Kui immediately wrote down the names of a group of people, including a captain, three military horses, and two other horses. In addition, Zhou Kui informed Zhang Yan that the Futu Temple was a big bandit den in Zhenrong, which housed hundreds of dead soldiers, and suggested that the dead soldiers in the Futu Temple should be eliminated together.

After Zhang Yan learned about these situations, he had a general understanding in his heart and already knew what to do.

First of all, Zhang Yan divided the Danyang soldiers he brought into several teams, let Zhou Kui's people be guides, and took them to capture Zhenrong's henchmen.

Secondly, Zhang Yan asked Xu Sheng to go back to the Futu Temple first, inform those dead soldiers of the death of Zhenrong, and persuade these dead soldiers to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise they will lead the army to Pingfu Temple.

When Xu Sheng got the order, he quickly rode out of Xiapi on his war horse and went to Futu Temple.

Zuihou, Zhang Yan led five hundred cavalry, together with Zhou Kui, to the door of Zhenrong's house, ready to raid the house.

When Zhang Yan saw Zhenrong's mansion, he was so surprised that he couldn't even close his mouth.

The mansion of Zhenrong is not only large, but also luxurious, opulent and glittering.

According to Zhou Kui, these are the results of the people's fat and ointment that Zhenrong has scavenged in the past few years, as well as the results of enriching his own pockets in Caoyun.

When Zhang Yan saw such a luxurious courtyard, he ordered the Danyang soldiers behind him: "Arrest everyone for me, and leave no one behind!" ”
