After parting ways with Li Jing back then, I only knew that he went to Chang'an, but he has not been heard from, and I didn't expect to meet him as a hostile general today.

Pei Xingyan looked at the two of them from the side, and a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

After a while, the two let go of each other, and Li Jing asked, "Why is Brother Zhen here?" ”

Zhen Ming smiled bitterly: "This is not the place to speak, can you go to Brother Li's tent to talk about it?" ”

"Please!

……………………………………

The three of them returned to Li Jing's tent together.

There was no wine in the camp, Li Jing replaced the wine with tea, and asked people to prepare a few simple home-cooked side dishes to entertain, the dishes were simple, all of them were wild vegetables in the mountains.

Zhen Mingku's introduction to Li Jing Pei Xingyan, but he didn't expect Li Jing and Pei Xingyan's father Pei Renji to be old acquaintances, after some greetings, Li Jing learned that every move in his army was in the hands of this young general, and he couldn't help but be shocked, how did he know that Zhen Mingku's telescope, a thing that transcended the times, existed in the Dark Guard.

Zhen didn't say anything about it, he talked about what he had happened over the years, and told him about the secret guard general of the Imperial Thai Dynasty, escorting the county lord of Nanyang to Nanyang and recruiting Zhu Cang, but he was helplessly controlled and coerced by Zhu Cang with poison, so he could only serve him, and was appointed by Zhu Cang as a pioneer to investigate the Tang Army.

Li Jing listened to him talk about all kinds of encounters over the years, he was amazed, he was not very surprised that Zhen Mingku married Zhang, in his opinion, there are not many men in the world who can be worthy of Zhang's family, Zhen Mingku's is barely one, but when he heard that Zhang's is the county lord of Nanyang, he was sent by Yang Tong to Nanyang to recruit Zhu Cang, but after being poisoned by Zhu Cang's terrible corpse Gu, he couldn't help but shoot the case, and said angrily: "I have to behead Zhu Cang's dog!" ”

Then he asked with a worried face: "Brother Zhen, this corpse Gu poison is so vicious, you came to me so boldly, if Zhu Cang learns about it, wouldn't you and Sister Goose be in danger?" ”

After hearing Zhen Mingbitter say that the poison between him and the Zhang family had been dissolved a few days ago, and the Zhang family was also sent back to Longmen Town in Luoyang by him, Li Jing let go of his worries and asked, "Brother Zhen came to me to avenge that Yuwen girl?" ”

A hint of fierceness flashed in Zhen Mingku's eyes: "Goose and I are so deeply kind to her, if we don't do something for her, Goose and Goose will be at ease for the rest of our lives." ”

Li Jing stared at him with shining eyes: "It seems that Brother Zhen has a plan in his heart, you might as well talk about it......

………………

At sunset, Zhen Mingku and Pei Xingyan came out of Li Jing's barracks, walked out of the pass guarded by the Tang Army, and returned to the dark guard barracks.

After some rectification, Pei Xingyan took two Dark Guards and galloped away from the Dark Guards in the direction of Dengzhou, while Zhen Mingku led the rest of the Dark Guards back to the Zhu Cang military camp.

Zhu Cang listened to Zhen Mingku's report on the detailed information he had collected over the past few days, which was consistent with the information he had gotten one by one, and it was even more detailed, so he couldn't help but be very excited, and hurriedly asked Zhen Mingku's plan.

Zhen Ming bitterly said: "According to the minister's observation in the past few days, the Tang army is stationed on the bank of the turbulent river in the Neixiang Fort with the backwater, if the king of Chu and the minister 30,000 elite soldiers, rushed to build a bamboo raft overnight, the minister led the army to take the bamboo raft down the water, with a sharp knife to stab the heart, into the Neixiang fort, the king of Chu then led the troops to attack the Neixiang Pass, the inside should be combined with the outside, will be able to break the Tang army's 5,000 elite vanguard, greatly demoralize it!" ”

Zhu Cang was overjoyed when he heard the plan, and did not doubt him, so he handed over the elite of the 30,000 Chu army to his command, and under the command of Zhen Mingku, he rushed to build a bamboo raft overnight.

At the same time, Zhen also ordered the Chu army to build fortifications in a canyon in Yangying Town, in case of defeat, activate the mechanism, and the stones rolled down from the canyon, which could not only hurt the enemy, but also block the pursuers.

Zhu Cang was very satisfied with his thoughtfulness, and wrote Zhen Mingku's heroic deeds into poems, which were widely sung in the army, and overnight, Zhen Mingku's prestige in Zhu Cang's army was suddenly raised to the second in command in addition to Zhu Cang.

………………

A few days later, thousands of simple bamboo rafts were built in a hurry overnight, taking advantage of the night, Zhen Mingku took the lead, led 30,000 Chu troops to take the bamboo raft, led the army into the water, 30,000 troops were entangled and rowed high-spirited, in Zhu Cang's congratulations on success, Zhen Mingbitter was full of pride, and waved the army towards the direction of the inner countryside city.

Zhu Cang also immediately led another 30,000 elite soldiers to leave Yangying Town by land, and within the time agreed with Zhen Mingku, he should join forces with the outside to attack the inner countryside pass garrisoned by the Tang army.

……………………………………

When the 30,000 Chu troops led by Zhen Mingku went upstream, rowing a bamboo raft to the Neixiang Castle, there was no obstacle to the waterway into the city.

Zhen Mingkuo said to Zhu Cang's many generals: "The other party must have thought that it was impossible for the Chu army to attack the city along the waterway, so the fortification was neglected on the waterway, and we attacked the camp at night. ”

All the generals were full of joy, gearing up, and eager to try.

Zhen gave an order, and 30,000 Chu troops rowed hard and poured into the city, fearing that they would not be able to do so, and the credit would be snatched.

When the 30,000 Chu troops entered the city, all the generals of the Chu army turned back to ask Zhen Mingku's next move, but they still saw Zhen Mingku's figure, only to see the ripples in the river behind him, and gradually moved away......

Before they could react to what was going on, an iron gate suddenly pushed out of the waterway from both sides of the city wall, and with a loud bang, the retreating waterway was completely blocked, and the shadows of enemy troops appeared on both banks.

The soldiers of the Chu army finally understood at this time and shouted: "We have been tricked!" ”

However, at this time, it was too late to react, and infantry with iron shields suddenly poured out on both sides of the river, followed by thousands of crossbowmen.

Suddenly, the arrows whistled.

The 30,000 Chu army was like a group of turtles in an urn, there was no way to defend it, there was no way to retreat, and they were hit by arrows and fell into the river...

Wailing all over the river, the 30,000 Chu troops did not even have a chance to meet each other in hand, they were shot one after another, the dead died, the wounded, the wounded fell into the river, the heavy armor made them unable to swim to the shore at all, they were grabbed by those who could not swim into the river, and sank into the river together......

The arrows of the Tang army were ruthless, and it was not until the last soldier of the Chu army fell into the river that he stopped shooting, opened the floodgates, and let the bamboo rafts and corpses of the river flow downstream, and the blood of the river turned red.

The generals of the Tang army gave an order, and all the Tang troops resolutely collected their troops and retreated, and disappeared on both sides of the Turbulent River in a blink of an eye, as if nothing had happened just now.

The night was still dark, and the water of the river turned blue in the blink of an eye, flowing southward as always......
