The city of Bianzhou was left behind, and the horse's hooves trampled through the damp earth and yellow grass, and drove out of the light and into darkness again. Behind stood the gate of the city tower of Bianzhou City, the ditch and the suspension bridge, and the old blind man could see the torches moving on the wall, and the orange flame seedlings fluttering in the wind. The wet armor reflected a dim light, and there were more ondols on the drawbridge that connected the city, and a group of men and horses were walking out of the city.

"The Liang army is out of the city." The old blind man said. During the day, Bianjun said that it was strictly forbidden to enter and exit, which was obviously wrong. As they watched, the gates were wide open, the drawbridge was lowered, and the moat was erected, and groups of soldiers were walking out of it. "In front is the Liang army, and in the middle it seems to be an officer of the Jin army. They seemed to be heading to the Hedong Army camp outside the city, something must have happened. ”

Guo Wei frowned, "I found Zhu Wen, but I didn't see Li Keyong." ”

"Have you seen Song Wentong?" The blind man cried out in a low voice, his eyes were not very good, and he could not see clearly from too far away.

Song Wentong is Li Maozhen, and Li Maozhen is also Song Wendong. As early as a few years ago, the blind man and Song Wentong and other Qin clan personnel were arranged to go to Chang'an. At that time, Chang'an was in the hands of Huang Chao and was not recovered. A group of people disguised themselves as various identities to enter Chang'an, and Song Wentong joined the Fengxiang Army under the pseudonym Li Maozhen. Later, he followed Zheng Ji to Chengdu, and was incorporated into the new army of the Shence Army by Tian Lingzi. This time, Song Wentong received a task and asked him to go to Bianzhou with Gao Renhou, the purpose was to Tian Lingzi to get a precious piece of information, Yang Fuguang was ready to raid and annex Zhu Wen, and it was Li Keyong who did it. After getting this valuable information, Tian Lingzi was unwilling to be lonely. Immediately thought that the opportunity had come.

He selected Gao Renhou, one of the only few generals in the Chengdu Imperial Court today. Let him secretly rush to Bianzhou with a team of men. Plotted against Zhu Wen and dealt with the Yang brothers. When Song Wentong received the task, he only knew that Lu Dao was going to Bianzhou, but he did not know the specific task. As a spy who had been lurking for several years, he was originally arranged in advance to prepare for him to enter the Fengxiang army and then enter the Chang'an forbidden army, but he meant to Chengdu and became the forbidden army under Tian Lingzi. The Military Intelligence Bureau simply adjusted his mission to let him lurk in Chengdu with peace of mind. This time I received a task. After discovering the abnormal movement, Song Wentong immediately took the risk to inform his upline old blind man.

The old blind man reported to his superior, Guo Wei, a major intelligence officer of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

After reporting at various levels, it finally went to the Supervision Office.

As soon as the news came together, they immediately understood what was going on.

Previously, according to Li Jing's intentions, the Supervision Department quietly sent a copy of the negotiation with Yang Fuguang to Zhu Wen's spy and another to Tian Lingzi's spy. The purpose, of course, is to muddy the water. Qin Fan was actively preparing for a military operation against the second town of Hebei, and for the smooth progress of this plan, of course, the neighbors to the west could not be left idle. Li Jing insisted on Zhu Wen's head. But he revealed the news that Yang Fuguang was going to annex the Liang Domain to Zhu Wen, naturally hoping that this matter would be more lively. Instead of helping the Yang clan expand its troops and horses, it strengthened its control over the Chang'an court.

But with Zhu Wen's strength, even if he revealed the news to him in advance, he still couldn't hold it if he had to deal with the Yang brothers and Li Keyong with his strength alone. For this reason, Li Jingcai specially asked the Supervision Department to disclose this information to Tian Lingzi. As long as Tian Lingzi is not stupid, he can know that this is a great opportunity, a great opportunity to fight against the Yang brothers. Zhu Wen's territory is sandwiched between Luoyang and Chang'an, especially the areas that separate Chang'an Luoyang from Shannan, Jingnan, Hunan, Eyue, Jiangxi and other areas with weak military strength but abundant food. What's more, the Jinshang Town controlled by Zhu Wen not only controls Wuguan, the southwest gate to Guanzhong. And the most important thing is that to the southwest of the gold merchants, it is Xingyuan Town, Shandongxi Province, in the Sanchuan under the control of Tian Lingzi. If you can take advantage of this opportunity and pull Zhu Wen over, then the situation in Sanchuan can change greatly.

It was precisely because Tian Lingzi understood this that he hurriedly sent the general Gao Renhou out and secretly went to Bianzhou.

I have to say that their arrival really made Zhu Wen very happy.

Before Gao Renhou arrived in Bianzhou, Zhu Wen, who had already judged that Yang Fuguang and Li Keyong's dealings with him were ninety percent true, was the time when Zaima hesitated. For Zhu Wen, breaking with the Yang brothers, this decision is difficult to make. He and Li Jing in the east are opponents, if he turns against the Yang brothers in the west, then he will definitely die if he is sandwiched between these two powerful forces. He even thought about taking the initiative to surrender to Li Jing or Yang Fuguang and give up his territory and military power.

But such a decision is too difficult to make.

At this moment, Gao Renhou came and brought unexpected help. Tian Lingzi was willing to pull him, and the Son of Heaven in Chengdu added Zhu Wen as the Zhongshu Order, Tongping Zhangshi, and the Marshal of Henan, and even added a defense envoy of the Eastern Capital, Henan Mansion Yin, and the post of the Eastern Capital. Not only is it a series of titles, but the most practical thing is Tian Lingzi's handwritten letter, in which Tian Lingzi promised him that as long as he abandons the darkness and turns to the Ming and turns to the Chengdu court, then once the Yang brothers hit Zhu Wen's territory, the Chengdu court will send troops from Shannan West Road to reinforce the Liang clan and jointly deal with the Chang'an puppet dynasty.

The arrival of Gao Renhou and Tian Lingzi's promise finally strengthened Zhu Wen's choice. He refused to sit idly by, and of course he was unwilling to hand over the foundation he had worked so hard to build, but surrendered to Li Jing or Yang Fuguang. He finally chose to take refuge in Tian Lingzi and joined forces with Tian Lingzi to deal with Yang Fuguang together.

It was with this backup that Zhu Wen resolutely laid an ambush and killed Li Keyong in one fell swoop. If Li Keyong is willing to marry his little sister, Zhu Wen still plans to pull Li Keyong into a boat and unite with Tian Lingzi to oppose the Yang brothers. It's a pity that Rick doesn't take him seriously with this arrogant guy. Now, his head has been cut off.

Guo Wei, who was lying behind the mound, heard groups of Liang cavalry pouring out of the city gate, like a torrent of steel and flames, and the rumbling hooves of horses as they crossed the drawbridge were almost like thunder. The warriors were dressed in iron armor and leather armor, and one of the people in each group was holding a torch, and under the firelight, it could be seen that the rest of the people were holding spears and carrying battle axes, and they were violent.

In the distance, a few wild dogs barked.

A camp twenty miles outside the city. At this time, it is still in the midst of the noise. The Xuanwu army had already sent a large amount of wine and fish. There was even a battalion of prostitutes. Let the Hedong sergeants have fun. It was very late, but the Hedong army had not slept yet, at first, they were waiting for the signal in the city, waiting to enter Bianzhou City at any time. But unconsciously, under the temptation of fine wine, barbecue, and prostitutes, they gradually forgot their original mission. Wine with women, make them intoxicated.

More and more cavalry is pouring out of the city of Bianzhou. Five in a row, there seems to be no end. Cavalry, infantry, spearmen, shieldmen, archers, crossbowmen, and torches form a long dragon that stretches into the distance.

"The Bianjun wants to attack the Jin army!" Guo Wei understood.

"We just happened to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight and watch a good show." The old blind man laughed.

Guo Wei pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "It seems that the one-eyed wolf has never fought Zhu Asan. We can't let the Liang army win so easily, we have to warn the Jin army. ”

"Let them fight well."

"It's in our best interest to lose both. If Zhu Wen is allowed to easily swallow 20,000 horses, then Zhu Wen will be cheapened for nothing, and he will be like a tiger with wings, which is not good. Guo Wei spit out the grass stalk in his mouth, waved his hand, and began to run towards the Hedong Army camp with this intelligence team.

Moments later, the Hedong military camp was in chaos.

"Enemy attack!"

"King Jin was assassinated in Bianzhou City!"

"Swine fever murdered the king!"

"The Bianjun army has already gone out of the city to kill!"

All kinds of shouts and killings broke out, and those Jin Jun, who were half-drunk and were happily alive on prostitutes, finally came to their senses. Pick up your weapons, put on your armor, and climb the tower.

Then, they spotted the team that was approaching at a rapid pace.

"Enemy attack!" The soldier on the turret tore his throat and screamed. In the middle of the night, a group of soldiers and horses suddenly came to kill, and they definitely did not come to drink and fight. You must know that Lu Dao, they didn't come to make friends with Liang Jun, they came to kill these grass thieves, and now the signal to make an appointment with Lu has not arrived, and the King of Jin and others who entered the city have no news, which makes the generals who stayed behind feel bad.

"Prepare to defend!"

War drums and trumpets sounded, and the Hedong Army quickly made pre-battle preparations.

Seeing that he was about to rush to the camp of the Hedong Army, he heard the sound of horns and war drums from the camp in the distance, and Zhu Wen cursed in a low voice, "Raised by a bitch!" He knew that the raid had been exposed.

Regardless of the curse, Zhu Wen simply waved his hand and shouted: "Kill!" ”

If the raid fails, then go straight on, Li Keyong is already dead, is he still afraid of a group of stragglers?

"King Liang, slow down!" Ahn Jinquan shouted. Zhu Wen waved his hand, and An Jinquan rode forward, "King Liang, it is better to go to the camp to explain the situation, and persuade the soldiers of the Hedong Army to abandon the darkness and serve the King of Liang." ”

Zhu Wen rolled his eyes a little hesitantly, he knew very well that the 20,000 Hedong Army was an elite. In particular, there are 10,000 cavalry, although the Liang army has 100,000 soldiers and horses, but the most lacking is cavalry, especially elite cavalry. If you can really subdue the 20,000 Hedong Army without bloodshed, then the overall strength of the Liang Army will have to go up to a higher level. But he was a little hesitant, will things be so simple?

"I'm willing to stay." Ahn Jinjun shouted coldly.

Zhu Wen swept over the Anjin brothers a few times, and decided to give it a try after the most stubbornness. The raid failed anyway, so even if the persuasion failed, it didn't matter. Anyway, An Jinjun is here, and he doesn't worry about An Jinquan's tricks.

After getting the agreement, An Jinquan and his brother glanced at each other, and there was something in that gaze that only the brothers could understand.

"Drive!" An Jin left without looking back, and on his saddle there was still a bloody Li Keyong's head.

It wasn't long before there was a roar and anger in the camp, followed by a cacophony of noise. But this uproar did not last long, and after about half an hour, An Jinquan came out of the camp again and told Zhu Wen a good news. He had convinced the officers and men of the Hedong Army that they were willing to surrender. Some of them who do not like to surrender have been controlled by them.

"Please surrender King Liang!"

"Hahaha!" Zhu Wen laughed loudly, he didn't expect that things would go so smoothly.

The Liang army guarded Zhu Wen and the others forward, and from the camp of the Hedong army, there were already groups of soldiers and horses out of the camp. At the front was a group of bound and bound generals, about a few hundred, followed by a large group of soldiers with weapons in their hands.

Seeing this scene, the worst doubt in Zhu Wen's heart was finally gone.

"Why did the Hedong Army of the dog day all coward?" In the darkness not far away, a secret agent of the Military Intelligence Bureau scolded in a low voice, just now they took so much effort to send a warning letter to the Hedong Army, who would have expected, now these guys actually surrendered without a fight.

Guo Wei's face also showed a look of disappointment, but soon, he shook his head again. He sensed that something was wrong, and quickly solidified his thoughts. Even, a smile began to appear on his face.

In front of the camp, the Liang army had already relaxed their vigilance, and even Zhu Wen rode a horse to approach the camp.

The two sides were getting closer and closer, and when Zhu Wen was less than thirty steps away from Li Kexiu, who was being held at the front, he was suddenly surprised to find that Li Kexiu, who was tied up, not only did not have a panicked or even frightened expression on his face, but showed a cruel smile.

A sense of danger swept over the soles of his feet, and Zhu Wen bowed his head almost in obsession.

This action saved his life, and An Jinquan, who was following Zhu Wen, suddenly raised his arm to him, and then with a sound of machine springs, the hidden sleeve crossbow in his arm began to shoot several crossbow needles. The crossbow spike aimed at Zhu Wen's head shot into the air, An Jinquan lowered his arm a little more, and several bolts hit Zhu Wen's arm and leg.

After shooting the empty sleeve crossbow, An Jinquan rode his horse and rushed to the Hedong army of the large camp without hesitation, and shouted as he rushed: "Release the arrow!" ”

With this shout, the crossbowmen hidden behind the Hedong army who pretended to surrender suddenly operated their crossbow machines one after another, and fired a fierce shot at the Liang army that entered the firing range.

Zhu Wen, who had just dodged the fatal blow of An Jinquan's sleeve crossbow, had not had time to check the injury on the leg in his hand just now, and had already ushered in a more violent salvo of bows and crossbows.

"Protect King Liang!" The guards of the Golden Gun Capital roared, jumped up from their horses, and rushed forward. Use your body as a shield to defend Juwen from the fierce rain of arrows.

"Ahh With a scream, Zhu Wen was hit by several arrows and fell from the saddle to the ground, with several white feather arrows stuck in his body.

At this moment, Zhu Wen remembered a sentence, the cycle of cause and effect, retribution is not happy, it's not that you don't want to repay, it's just that the time has not come! (To be continued......)
