Bianzhou City was left behind, and the horse's hooves stepped through the wet soil and yellow grassland, drove out of the bright range, and entered darkness again. Behind the city tower gate and trench suspension bridge of Bianzhou City stood. The old blind man could see torches moving on the walls and orange flaming seedlings flying in the wind. The wet armor reflected dim light, and there were more fire kangs on the suspension bridge connecting the city, and a group of people were walking out of the city.

"The Liang army has left the city." said the old blind man. During the day, the Bian army said that entering and leaving was strictly prohibited, and something was obviously wrong. Just under their gaze, the city gate was wide open, the suspension bridge was lowered, and the moat was placed on the moat, and teams of soldiers were walking out of it. "The Liang army was in front, and there seemed to be officers of the Jin army in the middle. They seemed to be heading towards 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."

"Did you see Song Wentong?" the blind man whispered. His eyes were not very good, and he couldn't 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 a Qin vassal personnel were arranged to go to Chang'an. At that time, Chang'an was not recovered in Huang Chao's hands. A group of people disguised as various identities and invaded Chang'an. Song Wentong was named Li Maozhen and finally joined the Fengxiang Army. Later, he followed Zheng Qi 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 of Tian Lingzi to obtain precious information. Yang Fuguang was preparing to raid and annex Zhu Wen, but Li Keyong was the one who took action. After obtaining this precious information, Tian Lingzi, who was unwilling to be lonely, immediately thought that the opportunity had come.

He selected Gao Renhou, one of the few generals in the Chengdu court now. He asked him to secretly rush to Bianzhou with a team of men and instigate Zhu Wen to deal with the Yang brothers. When Song Wentong received the task, he only knew that he was going to Bianzhou and did not know the specific task. As a spy who had been lurking for several years, he had arranged in advance to invade Fengxiang's army and then enter the Chang'an imperial guards, but he arrived in Chengdu and became an imperial guard under Tian Lingzi. The Military Intelligence Bureau simply adjusted his task and allowed him to lurk in Chengdu with peace of mind. After receiving the task this time, Song Wentong immediately took the risk to notify his old blind man on the line.

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

After reporting it layer by layer, we finally arrived at the Supervision Office.

As soon as a few messages were collected, they immediately understood what was going on.

Previously, the Supervision Office secretly sent a spy to Zhu Wen as the content of the negotiations with Yang Fuguang and another spy to Tian Lingzi as per Li Jing's intention. The purpose was of course to make the water more muddy. Qin Fan was actively preparing for a military operation against the second towns in Hebei. For the smooth progress of this plan, of course, the neighbors in the west could not be left idle. Li Jing insisted on Zhu Wen's head. But he also revealed the news that Yang Fuguang was going to annex Liang Fan to Zhu Wen, naturally hoping that this matter would be more lively. Instead of helping the Yang family expand their troops and enhance their control over the Chang'an court.

But with Zhu Wen's strength, even if the news was revealed to him in advance, he could not hold on to the Yang brothers and Li Keyong with the strength of his town alone. For this reason, Li Jing asked the Supervision Bureau to disclose this information to Tian Lingzi. As long as Tian Lingzi was not stupid, he could know that this was a great opportunity, a great opportunity to fight against the Yang brothers. Zhu Wen's territory was sandwiched between Luoyang and Chang'an, especially in areas with weak military strength, such as Shannan, Jingnan, Hunan, Eyue, Jiangxi, etc., where Chang'an Luoyang and Shannan, Jingnan, Hunan, Eyue, Jiangxi and other areas with weak military strength but abundant food. More importantly, the Jinshang Town controlled by Zhu Wen not only controls Wuguan, the southwest gate to Guanzhong. But most importantly, the southwest of Jinshang is Xingyuan Town in Shandong and Sanchuan under Tian Lingzi's control. If you can take advantage of this opportunity to pull Zhu Wen over, the situation in Sanchuan will change drastically.

It was because Tian Lingzi understood this that he hurriedly sent General Gao Renhou to secretly go to Bianzhou.

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

Before Gao Renhou arrived in Bianzhou, Zhu Wen, who had already judged that Yang Fuguang and Li Keyong had 90% true things to deal with him, was a time when he was hesitant. For Zhu Wen, breaking up with the Yang brothers was difficult to make. He was originally an opponent of Li Jing in the east. If he turned against the Yang brothers in the west, he would undoubtedly die between these two major forces. He even thought about taking the initiative to surrender to Li Jing or Yang Fuguang and giving 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 help him. The emperor of Chengdu appointed Zhu Wen as the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, Tong Pingzhangshi, Henan Marshal, and even added a defense envoy of the Eastern Capital, Henan Prefecture, and the position of the Eastern Capital. Not only was there a series of titles, but the most practical thing was Tian Lingzi's handwritten letter. In the letter, Tian Lingzi promised him that as long as he abandoned the darkness and turned to the light and turned to the Chengdu court, once the Yang brothers attacked Zhu Wen's territory, the Chengdu court would send troops from Shannan West Road to reinforce the Liang Fan and jointly deal with the pseudo-official court in Chang'an.

Gao Renhou's arrival finally strengthened Zhu Wen's choice. He refused to sit still and wait for death, and of course he was unwilling to hand over the foundation he had worked hard to build, but surrendered to Li Jing or Yang Fuguang. He finally chose to surrender to Tian Lingzi and joined forces with Tian Lingzi to deal with Yang Fuguang together.

It was precisely because of this support that Zhu Wen resolutely laid ambushes and killed Li Keyong in one fell swoop. If Li Keyong was willing to marry his younger sister, Zhu Wen would still plan to pull Li Keyong on a boat and join forces with Tian Lingzi to fight against the Yang brothers. Unfortunately, Li Keyong, the arrogant guy, took him too seriously. Now, his head has been cut off.

Guo Wei, who was lying behind the pile of soil, heard teams of Liang cavalry rushing out from the city gate, like a torrent of steel and flames. The rumbling horse hooves when stepping across the suspension bridge were almost like thunder. The soldiers were wearing iron armor and leather armor, and one of each group was holding a torch. Under the flames, the rest could be seen holding spears and fighting axes in their hands, with great momentum.

In the distance, a few barking of wild dogs came.

The camp twenty miles away from Biancheng was still in a hustle and bustle. Xuanwu army had already sent a large number of fine wine and fish, and even sent a battalion of prostitutes to make the Hedong soldiers have fun. It was too late, but the Hedong soldiers had not yet slept. At first, they were waiting for signals from the city, waiting to enter the city of Bianzhou at any time. But before they knew it, under the temptation of fine wine, barbecue, and prostitutes, they gradually forgot their original mission. The wine and women made them intoxicated.

More and more cavalrymen were pouring out of the city in Bianzhou. Five rows seemed to have no end. Cavalry, infantry, spearmen, shield soldiers, archers, crossbowmen, and torches formed a long dragon and extended to the distance.

"The Bian Army wants to attack the Jin Army!" Guo Wei understood.

"We happened to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight and see 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 A San. We cannot let the Liang army win so easily. We have to warn the Jin army."

"Let them fight."

"It is best for both sides to suffer losses. If Zhu Wen can easily swallow these 20,000 people, then the white price will make Zhu Wen more and more powerful, that won't work." Guo Wei spit out the grass stem in his mouth, waved his hand, and began to run to the Hedong Army barracks with this intelligence team.

A moment later, the Hedong military camp was in chaos.

"Enemy attack!"

"The King of Jin was assassinated in Bianzhou City!"

"Swine fever murdered the king!"

"The Bian Army has come out of the city to kill!"

......

All kinds of shouts and killings were everywhere, and the Jin army, who were half drunk and happy on the prostitute, finally woke up. They picked up weapons, put on armor, and climbed the arrow tower.

Then, they found the team that was approaching quickly.

"Enemy attack!" The soldiers on the arrow tower shook their throats and screamed. In the middle of the night, a soldier suddenly rushed over. They were definitely not here to drink and beat the box. You know, they were not here to make friends with Liang Jun, they came to kill these thieves. Now the sign of arrears has been delayed. The King of Jin and others who entered the city have no news, which makes the left-behind generals feel bad.

"Prepare to defend!"

The war drums and trumpets sounded, and the Hedong Army quickly carried out pre-war preparations.

He was about to arrive at the Hedong Military Camp, but he heard the sound of horns and drums coming from the camp in the distance. Zhu Wen cursed in a low voice, "I'm a bitch!" He knew that the raid was exposed.

No matter how cursed he was, Zhu Wen simply waved his hand and ordered: "Kill!"

If the raid fails, then go straight to it. Li Keyong is already dead. Is he still afraid of a group of scattered soldiers and brave men?

"King Liang, wait!" An Jinquan shouted loudly. Zhu Wen waved his hand and An Jinquan rode forward, "King Liang, why not go to the camp to explain the situation and persuade the soldiers of the Hedong Army to abandon the secret and turn to the light 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. Especially among them, there were 10,000 cavalry. Although the Liang army had 100,000 soldiers, the most lacking was the cavalry, especially the elite cavalry. If he could conquer the 20,000 Hedong Army without bloodshed, the overall strength of the Liang army would have to rise to a higher level. But he was a little hesitant. Will things be that simple?

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

Zhu Wen swept through the An Jin brothers several times, but finally decided to give it a try. Anyway, the raid failed, and it didn't matter if it couldn't persuade him to surrender. Anyway, An Jinjun was here, so he was not worried about An Jinquan's tricks.

After obtaining the agreement, An Jinquan and his brothers looked at each other, and in that gaze conveyed what only the two brothers understood.

"Go!" An Jinquan left without looking back. Li Keyong's head was still hanging on his saddle.

Not long after, waves of roars and anger came from the camp, followed by various noisy noises. But this noise did not last long. About half an hour later, An Jinquan came out of the camp again and told Zhu Wen about good news. He had convinced the Hedong Army soldiers that they were willing to surrender. Some of them had not liked to surrender, and they had already controlled them.

"Please accept surrender to King Liang!"

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

The Liang army guarded Zhu Wen and others and went forward. From the camps of the Hedong Army, there were already teams of soldiers leaving the camp. At the front was a group of tied up Helik Generals, with about hundreds of people, and behind were a large group of soldiers holding weapons to escort the generals.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Wen's last doubt finally disappeared.

"Why are all scared in the Hedong Army?" In the darkness not far away, a military intelligence agent whispered. They just took so much effort to give the Hedong Army a warning letter. Unexpectedly, these guys have surrendered without fighting.

Guo Wei also showed a disappointed expression on his face, but soon, he shook his head again. He felt something was wrong and quickly strengthened his thoughts. Even a smile gradually began to appear on his face.

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

The two sides were getting closer and closer. Just when Zhu Wen was less than thirty steps away from Li Kexiu who was escorted in the front, he was suddenly surprised to find that Li Kexiu, who was tied up, not only did he not have a look of panic or even fear on his face, but instead showed a cruel smile.

A dangerous feeling passed through the soles of his feet from head to head, and Zhu Wen almost bowed his head and bowed his body.

This action saved his life, and An Jinquan, who was next to Zhu Wen, suddenly raised his arm to him. Then, with a sound of spring, the hidden sleeve crossbow in his arm began to shoot out several crossbow needles. The crossbow nail aimed at Zhu Wen's head and shot in the air. An Jinquan lowered his arm again, and several crossbow nails hit Zhu Wen's arms and legs.

After shooting the Kong-sleeved crossbow, An Jinquan rode his horse to the Hedong army in the camp without hesitation, and shouted while rushing: "Shoot the arrow!"

With this shout, the crossbowmen hiding behind the Hedong Army who were pretending to surrender suddenly started to pick up crossbow machines and shot fiercely at Liang Army who had entered the range.

Zhu Wen, who had just avoided An Jinquan's fatal blow to a sleeve crossbow, had not had time to check the injuries on his leg just now, and had another fiercer crossbow volley.

"Protect King Liang!" The guards of the Golden Spear Capital roared, jumped up from the horse and rushed forward. They used their bodies as shields to resist the fierce rain of arrows for Zhu Wen.

With a scream of "Ah!", Zhu Wen was caught in several arrows and fell from the saddle to the ground, with several white feather arrows inserted into his body.
Chapter completed!
