He passed on the oral message for the court. Cao Sheng waited for several days before he was finally summoned by Fan Zong again.

Fan Zong’s attitude became much warmer this time, so please take a seat.

He Han said a few words in secret, then talked about the main topic and said solemnly:

"I was just being bullied when the Chen thief gathered to rebel. In fact, I did not have the intention to rebel. I wanted to abandon the darkness and turn to the light early on. Now I am grateful to the court, and I am willing to be recruited and be an internal supporter for the official army."

Cao Sheng was overjoyed when he heard this: "The Chen thief raised the flag of the anti-bank and acted against the enemy. Sooner or later, Brother Fan is a wise choice!"

Fan Zong waved his hand and interrupted, and continued:

"However, the Chen thief is now very powerful, and I can't fight with him. This internal matter is not easy to do. If the news leaks, I will die without a burial place. I can only open a convenient door for the officers and soldiers here. When the court takes this place and drives straight in, I can't go back to the Dragon King Village. I must let me retreat to the rear and not fight on the front line."

"I can't make the decision on this matter, I have to repay the court."

Cao Sheng hurriedly replied that he was not afraid of bargaining, and it was not his final decision anyway.

Fan Zongshou said in a deep voice:

"Although the old saying is that those who know the current affairs are handsome, and the Chen thief is fierce and powerful. If I betray him, I will definitely bring revenge. But although I am a green forest bandit, I have a heart to serve the country with all my heart and be loyal to the emperor and support the country. I will not be able to feel the blood... I am irreconcilable with the thief!"

"Okay! My elder brother is loyal to the country and distinguishes right from wrong. He is a first-class man!"

Cao Sheng echoed and gave him a fart

The two chatted for a while before Cao Sheng left excitedly.

A few days later, Fan Zong received a reply from the officers and soldiers, saying that he would accept his conditions and that the signature was Cheng Liqing, the commander of the imperial court.

Next, Fan Zong and Cheng Liqing continued to communicate with each other through Cao Sheng, an intermediary, and conspired to cooperate with each other and seize this pass.

In order to avoid being seen, the imperial court soldiers and horses from time to time have feinted attacks on passes, forming a stalemate

Days passed day by day, and finally it was the day of conspiracy

According to the agreement, Fan Zong needs to send his subordinates to control the portal on this night, welcome the officers and soldiers into the night,

Occupy the pass here.

Things are going smoothly, and the officers and soldiers took advantage of the night to approach. Fan Zong got the signal and attacked from the inside, seized the pass, opened the door to welcome the officers and soldiers. The pass was quickly lost, causing chaos.

When Cheng Liqing led his troops into the pass, he saw that the battle had ended and the officers and soldiers completely controlled the pass.

He was quite satisfied with his plan.

"I used a little trick and took it down without bloodshed. Haha, the bandits in Longwang Village are considered to be the personal figures in my opinion. The rest of the people, a group of mud-legged people, were all useless native chickens and tile dogs, with low intelligence and crude stupidity.

Cheng Liqing smiled at the adjutant.

As a policing envoy who was transferred from the court, he looked down on these ruthless people from the bottom of his heart. He consciously knew the military tactics, was brave and good at fighting, and was well-educated. He was not comparable to a group of ignorant bandits.

At this time, Fan Zong hurried over and was anxious:

"General Cheng, something happened to him. Fang Zhen, the general of the pass, saw that the situation was not good, and he had already left the pass with a group of leaders and his personal soldiers and fled. We were unable to capture this person."

Cheng Liqing frowned: "This man reacted quickly."

Fan Zong expressed his words: "General, this party is really the sixth leader of the copycat. He is also the sworn brother of Chen Zhe. If he catches this person, he will definitely threaten Chen Zhe and cannot let him escape like this."

"Well, it's reasonable. I understand that the bandits can't run far. It's better to pursue them while they are winning... quickly click the troops and leave the large troops here to guard the pass, and the rest of them follow me to chase the bandit leaders!"

Cheng Liqing deeply agreed and immediately ordered.

Soon, he led thousands of troops out of the pass, followed the scattered footprints on the road, and chased the enemy troops who were fleeing from the pass.

The group of people were chasing the road in the moonlight, and turned along their footprints to the rugged path. Finally, they found a group of defeated thieves in front of a forest.

"Ha, don't leave!"

Cheng Liqing was overjoyed and ordered his troops to kill the generals.

The bandits' faces changed drastically, they crawled into the woods and fled in panic.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Liqing didn't care about meeting Lin Mo, and called on the troops to go into Lin to pursue him, all his might was to capture the leader of the thief army.

However, after chasing in the forest for a while, the officers and soldiers were always hung behind and gradually got a little separated. Cheng Liqing found something was wrong.

"No, I'm afraid there's a fraud!"

Cheng Liqing's eyelids twitched violently, and suddenly woke up, and he was about to order the entire army to gather and withdraw.

But at this moment, there were suddenly shouts of killing in the forest.

"Go!"

Large areas of bandits emerged from the ground, surrounded and killed from all directions, and immediately caught the officers and soldiers off guard.

"Hahaha, the officials and thieves are in vain. Men, let me kill them!"

Fang Zhen broke out of the ground and laughed endlessly. He held a copper-headed stick and rushed into the army. Each stick could cut down several enemy troops.

After two years of practicing advanced martial arts, his martial arts has also made great progress. According to the percentage system, it has increased from 88 to around 93, and it has also begun to enter the ranks of top experts.

"Not good, I've been trapped!"

Cheng Liqing was shocked and quickly turned around with his personal soldiers. After a bloody battle, he finally broke through the siege and fled.

He finally ran out of the forest, with only two or three hundred people left by his side, and the rest were all trapped in ambush.

Cheng Liqing didn't care about anything else, and rushed back to the pass with the remaining soldiers, and wanted to return to the main force.

However, when they approached the pass, they were shocked to find that the fire in the pass was soaring into the sky, screaming and bursts of burnt smell.

All the officers and soldiers who should have guarded the pass were missing.

"Oh no, there are changes in the pass, and the backbone is broken!"

Cheng Liqing was shocked.

Before he could react, the road suddenly burst into shouts of killing

"kill!"

It turned out that there were already a clerk ambush here, with a much larger number than this remaining soldiers, and rushed forward.

Cheng Liqing was shocked and angry, holding an iron spine gun, and tried hard to kill several minions. In the end, he was lost to everyone and was pressed to the ground and tied up.

The fire in the pass burned for a whole night and almost destroyed the place.

The bodies of officers and soldiers were stacked and stuck together, most of which were burned to death. The large number of officers and soldiers occupying the pass were almost wiped out by a fire.

However, this is a military fortress, and there are no houses around it, so it doesn’t matter whether it affects the villagers.

It was not until this time that the mountain soldiers hiding from all directions returned to the pass and cleaned the battlefield.

On the other side, the minion walked into the temporary tent with Cheng Liqing with his disheveled hair.

When he entered the military tent, Cheng Liqing looked up and saw that Fang Zhen, Fan Zong and others were all present at this pass. His eyes were red immediately, and he didn't know that he had fallen into a trap.

"Fan Zong! You bastard, it turns out that you are a fraudulent surrender!"

Cheng Liqing roared out of control and struggled hard. If he hadn't been tied up tightly, he would have rushed forward and fought desperately.

Fan Zong laughed when he heard this

"You are not tired of deceit in the army, and you are not as good as others. What's the point of saying? I have been in the Green Forest for decades. How could I surrender to the court with just a few words? You are also trapped, who else can you blame? The Lord Chen Village is a man like a god. I was crazy and I surrender to the court!"

At that time, when he received a letter from the court to persuade the court to surrender and recruit him, Fan Zong had a problem, that was, to use his plan.

In fact, if it is normal, Fan Zong will not reject recruitment.

However, in the current war situation, the court was clearly at a disadvantage and was so breathless that it was beaten by its own village leader. Moreover, Chen Feng's bravery was shocking and Wei Jia was a hero in the country. He betrayed this person and had no way to go to heaven and no way to the ground.

If you have these two factors, you still "abandon the dark and turn to the light", isn't that a birthday boy eating arsenic?

Although Fan Zong was not very successful in the Dragon King Village, he didn't plan to seek death. It would be better to take this opportunity to make contributions and show his loyalty.

So he has long known how to choose.

However, Fan Zong only reported the situation, and the specific plan was not formulated by him, nor was it the awkward man Fang Zhen thought of it.

After the incident was reported, the third leader Duan Yunfeng came to secretly support him.

Duan Yunfeng roughly judged the character of the enemy general based on the correspondence letters presented by Fan Zong and specially formulated a plan.

Induce the king into the trap and take the fire attack!

He pretended to defeat Kaicheng and used this place as bait to lead the imperial army into the road, while the bandits lurked in the tunnel. He set fire to the camp and wiped out the enemy's troops, trying not to leave any living mouth.

Duan Yunfeng did not blink a moment when he set up such a vicious plan to burn tens of thousands of officers and soldiers.

In the end, this plan was successful and the effect was significant, and no one in ten officers and soldiers survived.

The threat of the imperial army along the way has been rescued in one battle, so there is no need to worry about someone endangering the back courtyard of the Longwang Village.

At this time, Duan Yunfeng sat in the main seat of the military tent, coldly stumbled Cheng Liqing and spoke slowly:

"The defeated general dares to need a throne. He comes and goes to kill him. His head is hung on the flag. There is no need to leave him with a complete body."

After the words came, the personal soldiers immediately pushed Cheng Liqing out.

Soon, a short scream sounded outside and ended abruptly.

Fang Zhen withdrew his gaze and said with a smile: "Brother Duan is really both civil and military. If you succeed in one plan, you should make the first contribution in this battle."
