Chapter 719 The Prelude to the General Attack

"What, Du Shanhai killed Jia Ziyu, for what?!" Li Tianxing was also very shocked. On the surface, Du Shanhai was not like someone who could do such a thing. Ling Feixue said palely: "Because General Du felt that General Jia's defense of Ximen was relatively lazy, so he just killed." Li Tianxing stood up and walked on the ground for two steps, and suddenly said: "Follow me to the city right away!"

When Li Tianxing and Ling Feixue arrived at the Ximen, Du Shanhai and others were gone, Jia Ziyu's body disappeared, and there was only blood and bloody smell on the ground, "Where has General Du been?" Ling Feixue asked the soldiers next to him.

The soldier said, "I've arrived at the east gate."

Li Tianxing's face was solemn: "Let's go, go to the east gate immediately."

On the east gate tower, Du Shanhai was pointing fingers at Zhao Dongnan and Ma Shaobo, expressing his deficiencies in defense. Unpredictable, Li Tianxing and Ling Feixue rushed to the tower.

Du Shanhai was mentally prepared. When he saw Li Tianxing coming, he hurriedly knelt down and met: "I welcome the general." Li Tianxing said with a calm face: "General Du, I heard that you killed General Jia, why didn't you notify me?"

Du Shanhai hurriedly said, "There is an emergency, so I don't have time to notify the general. Please forgive me." Li Tianxing said with a calm face: "What big mistake did General Jia make? You must kill him. He has followed me for many years and has made many achievements. How can he kill him casually?" Du Shanhai sighed, "General, I really have to do it. I also know that General Jia has been with the general for many years, but he neglected his duties and was careless. If he was severely punished, he was afraid that the general's city would not be saved."

Li Tianxing said: "It's really so serious?" Du Shanhai said: "The General gave me Shangfang sword and allowed me to kill first and then report. Can't I trust me? Everything I did is for the general's great fortune. If the general really doubts me, then please kill me and avenge Jia Ziyu."

Li Tianxing has been in the army for many years, and of course he understands that changing orders every day is a taboo in the army. Since he appointed Du Shanhai as the general manager of the Fourth Sect and granted Shangfang sword, he must support him in a short period of time, otherwise he would be slapping himself and let his subordinates look down on him. He thought for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, you should get up first. Since Jia Ziyu is dead and the dead are gone, I am not going to pursue his dereliction of duty. I will take his family back to bury him well, and give him 10,000 taels of silver as a pension. When I defend the city in the future, I will give it to you. I must not let this general down."

"Thank you for your trust, and I am grateful." Du Shanhai stood up from the ground, glanced around, and found that the other three generals had an indignation on their faces, and snorted coldly: "There is another thing that needs to be decided by the general?" Li Tianxing said: "If it is about defending the city, you can make your own decision. This general will definitely trust you." Du Shanhai was overjoyed: "Abide by the order."

Li Tianxing was not in a bad mood, and after saying a few words, he hurried down to the city. Du Shanhai said to the three generals: "Jia Ziyu is dead, Ximen needs to send generals again. I consider that there are many loopholes in defense there, and the enemy may choose to break through there, so I will go to guard it myself. I don't know what the three of you mean." Hearing the conversation between Li Tianxing and Du Shanhai with his own ears, he knew that Du Shanhai's status was difficult to shake and he held the power of life and death. The three of them would hit the wall by themselves, and said in unison: "There is no objection, everything depends on the orders of the General Manager."

Du Shanhai returned to Ximen and felt very happy. Even he himself did not expect things to go so smoothly. Everything was ready at this moment, and only the east wind was missing.

Du Shanhai said to Du Yu: "You are still going to the Ming army camp and tell Yi Tusheng that I have taken over the defense of Ximen and asked him to enter the city from Ximen tomorrow night, but the promise must be fulfilled." Although Du Yu had never read the previous letter, he had already guessed the most from all signs. He was unwilling to talk too much, so he turned around and jumped off the top of the city, turned into a stream of light, and ran towards Mingying.

After receiving the news, Yi Tusheng hurriedly summoned the generals to discuss. He was not sure, for fear that he would fall into Du Shanhai's trick.

"Do you think this matter is trustworthy?" Yi Tusheng asked.

Tian Ji said: "The opportunity must not be lost and never come again. Whether it is trustworthy or not, we should also give it a try. In addition, we contact Geng Zhongming and Zhao Wei in the city and let them respond at the city gate at the second update. If you find any ambush, you will send a letter immediately. This should be foolproof."

Tian Ji strengthened Yi Tusheng's confidence in one sentence. Yi Tusheng clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's do it this way. The battle tomorrow is of great importance. Please go back and prepare. At that time, I will personally lead 20,000 troops into the city first, Zu Dashou and Zhao Lujiao, and lead the rest of the troops to be postponed. If everything is fine, enter the city immediately without any mistakes."

Zu Dashou said: "What if the enemy troops divide their troops into ambush outside the city? I think it's better to send two other flanks to protect the safety of the main army."

"Brother Zu thought very thoughtfully, so let Shang Kexi, each of the owls led two thousand rifle soldiers to ambush on the left and right wings to cover the main force into the city."

After receiving the order, the generals agreed and quit their accounts one after another.

The next day, the Ming army was mobilized frequently, but there was no sign of sending troops. Li Tianxing got up in the morning and wandered around the city. He found that the Ming army had not sent troops, so he went back to rest. He handed all the rights to Du Shanhai. Du Shanhai was conscientious on the surface, but secretly conspired to welcome the Ming army into the city.

It soon became dark. Geng Zhongming and Zhao Wei had received the order from Yi Tusheng, sneaked out of the room and conducted investigations in the Ximen area. An hour later, the two met in a forest ten miles away from the city gate.

Geng Zhongming said: "I didn't find anything unusual. It seems that Du Shanhai really planned to betray Li Tian this time. I really can't tell that Du Shanhai is usually serious and actually has evil intentions." Zhao Wei sneered: "Everyone is often a dog-slaughtering person, and most of the vulgar people are scholars. The more loyal a person is on the surface, the more scheming he is. Du Shanhai is an example. In the future, you must be careful of such people."

Geng Zhongming smiled bitterly and said, "No, that Jia Ziyu died is really unfair." Zhao Wei said, "Let's hurry up and the news will be delivered. The time for the general attack is coming." Geng Zhongming said, "The city is about to fall, and there is no need for you and I to stay here. It's better to leave the city together."

Zhao Wei said: "No, absolutely not. Doing this will arouse Li Tianxing's alertness. In order to prevent the outside world, I will stay and stabilize Li Tianxing. Just go out of the city to report." Geng Zhongming frowned and said: "Since this is the case, I'll stay. After all, I have a friendship with Li Tianxing, and he can trust me."

"That's fine. Let's separate for the time being. I'll go out of the city first." Zhao Wei shook his body, turned into a black line, and headed straight to the top of the city.
