Sun Lei smiled and led the army back to the high hill.
Wang Huan looked at the retreating enemies and felt uneasy in his heart. However, seeing that the enemies had really retreated, he no longer hesitated, turned his horse and returned to the military formation.
"General Wang, what's going on?"
Zhang Zhang and others quickly asked why they suddenly withdrew when they were all ready for a fight.
"Maybe Sun Lei doesn't want to fight at night!"
Wang Huan didn't know the reason, so he could only shake his head.
The five men rode back to the formation, organized their troops and set up camp.
"Several generals, Xuanfu envoy invites some of them to discuss matters!"
A soldier came to Wang Huan and others and said.
"If we don't obey the military order today, we won't be punished by raising troops, right?"
Wang Wende said.
"No, now that we are facing a formidable enemy, no matter how angry Cai You is, he should put down his prejudices and fight against the enemy together! As for launching an army to hold the enemy accountable, that will happen after the war is over."
Zhang Zhang said.
"Let's go and have a look. In the face of a powerful enemy, we always have to give his Xuanfu some face."
Wang Huan said.
The five people quickly arrived at the Chinese army camp and entered the camp after the announcement.
"Come here, capture Wang Huan!"
When the five arrived at the Chinese army camp, they heard Cai You roar angrily, and a family of soldiers who had been ambushing outside the camp rushed in, and directly surrounded Wang Huan and the five others with swords and axes.
Zhang Kai, Mei Zhan, Wang Wende, and Xiang Yuanzhen immediately drew their swords from their waists and blocked them from all sides, blocking Wang Huan behind them.
"Cai Xuanfu, what does this mean?"
Wang Huan looked at Cai You and asked. He knew that Cai You was a fool and didn't know how to march and fight. He also knew that Cai You was a flatterer. He became the governor solely by flattering the emperor, but he didn't expect that Cai You's city government was so... Qian, the battle has been in chaos before it even started.
"What do you mean? You colluded with the rebels, and I will punish you!"
Cai You glared at Wang Huandao.
"Colluding with traitors? Where do you start talking about this? I just arrived in Puzhou and I just saw the thieves today."
Wang Huan opened his mouth to explain.
"You still dare to quibble. The whole army is watching in front of the battle today. You and that Sun Lei are secretly communicating."
Cai You pointed at Wang Huan and said.
"Cai Xuanfu misunderstood, I just want to persuade Sun Lei to surrender, nothing else!"
Wang Huan knew that he must have thought that he had been misunderstood when talking to Sun Lei in close proximity.
"I can't even persuade you to surrender. What's the point of asking a general to surrender? You and that Sun Lei came into communication, whispered, and exchanged intelligence. Did you tell Sun Lei the truth about our army?"
Cai You pointed at Wang Huan and directly counted the crimes. He saw with his own eyes that Wang Huan took Sun Lei's wine gourd, drank it and threw it back. There must be information hidden in the gourd.
"Are you four also his accomplices?"
Cai You looked at Zhang Kai, Mei Zhan, Wang Wende and Xiang Yuanzhen and yelled.
"Cai Xuanfu, how could we collude with the thieves when we were ordered to suppress the rebellion? Cai Xuanfu must have misunderstood!"
Zhang Zhang quickly explained.
"Are you going to rebel? I have known for a long time that you thieves are stubborn and you are all ignorant white-eyed wolves. Today, your tail is finally exposed."
Cai You directly took out the imperial edict and raised it above his head. Although the five people in front of him were all military governors, they were all bandits by background. Origin is very important in this officialdom. Even someone like Di Qing was also called "General Mian Nirvana" ", somewhat mockingly.
When Cai You said these words, Wang Huan and the other five people turned pale. They had been loyal since they were recruited. They had fought for the country for so many years in exchange for the official position of Jiedushi. However, they did not expect that in the eyes of those orthodox officials, they were still a group of thieves.
"The holy decree is here. If you don't surrender, you will be killed on the spot!"
Cai You, who took out the imperial edict, looked at Wang Huan and shouted with great air.
Seeing the imperial edict, Wang Huan and others could not say anything in their explanations. If the king wants his subjects to die, they must die. This is loyalty. Even if you are wronged, you must obey the king's will.
Wang Huan patted the shoulders of the people around him. If they continued to resist today, none of the five of them would be able to escape. They were powerless to resist according to the holy decree.
Seeing several people put down their weapons, Cai You looked proud and immediately asked the soldiers to capture Wang Huan.
"The four of you will stay in the Central Army and join me tomorrow to kill the thieves!"
Cai You looked at the remaining four people and scolded him. He originally wanted to take down these four people as well, but now he has no one under his command. He has been defeated again today. It is the time to use people, so he can only spare these four people first. .
However, Cai You had no intention of letting these four people go. Once they returned to the army, they would most likely launch a rebellion if they had military power, so he wanted to put these four people under house arrest in the Chinese army and take back all the military power.
Zhang Zhang and others immediately understood what Cai You was going to do. Cai You had the Holy Purpose at his disposal. If they could not return to the camp, the entire army would be under Cai You's control.
"Take them down!"
Cai You ordered to the soldiers, Zhang Kai and several others could only follow the soldiers to the camp on the side of the Chinese army.
Kaifeng's people were separated into several camps, and there were soldiers guarding them outside the camps.
"A few thieves really think that if they put on official uniforms, they will become officials?"
Cai You looked at the few military talismans collected in front of him and said with a smile, he was the eldest son of Cai, with a good family background, and he looked down on these thieves who were recruited.
…
Above the job.
"Brother, the enemy's camp is also arranged with formations to prevent us from sneak attacks."
Xiao Jiasui looked at the enemy camp with fire in the distance and said.
"It doesn't matter. I've already performed a lot for Cai You today. With the character of Cai You, he will never wait. I'm afraid Wang Huan and the others have already been captured."
Sun Lei said with a smile, there have been crooked kings and corrupt officials in all dynasties, but when it comes to counting, those in the Song Dynasty are among the best. There is nothing the corrupt officials in the Song Dynasty dare not do.
"Brother, why don't I take someone to test it out tonight?"
Sui Sheng said, although the enemy's military formation is strict, there is no military formation in the world that cannot be broken.
"Okay, pass this on, tonight the troops of each battalion will attack in different directions. There is no priority, they are all the main force. They will leave after the fight!"
Sun Lei nodded and ordered.
At dawn, more than a dozen armies rushed down from the hills. The drowsy officers and soldiers were awakened and hurriedly picked up their weapons to be on guard.
"kill!"
The shouts of killing surrounded the entire army camp, and the soldiers were overwhelmed by the shouts from all directions. The enemy seemed to have no main direction of attack and just wanted to eat up the camp in one bite.
Cai You, who was awakened from his sleep by the shouts of killing, hurriedly got out of bed and ran out of the tent without even putting on his armor.
"What happened? The enemy came in?"
Cai You was shocked, grabbed a soldier and shouted.
"Master Xuanfu, the enemy has attacked the camp...has attacked the camp!"
The soldier said hurriedly.
"Chinese troops assemble! Gather!"
Cai You was shocked and immediately summoned his own army. Now that the camp was broken, he was ready to lead his army and run away first.
The shouts of killing continued until the sun rose, and the Liangshan army retreated. Everything returned to calm, leaving only the smoke-filled official and military camps. The Liangshan army did not attack by force, but only fought for a while, set fire to a few sections of the camp wall, and then left.
