"Brothers from the Sa family have said that they are not going to help Tian Hu again this time. I hope Zhong Shuai will not come again!"
Lu Zhishen pointed at Taiyuan Mansion and said to Yang Keshi.
"You are thieves, how could Commander Zhong let you go?"
Yang Keshi said, Zhongshidao can't tolerate sand in his eyes. It would be better if Sun Lei didn't show up, but he will never let it go easily if he encounters him now.
"Then let's all rely on our abilities!"
Lu Zhishen glanced at Taiyuan Mansion from the corner of his eyes. There were many figures on the city wall, and many people hid behind the female wall to peek.
"This should be enough, Zhongshuai, the Sa family can be considered worthy of you!"
Lu Zhishen thought silently in his heart. He didn't talk to Yang Keshi anymore, and took Yang Keshi outside the Western Army camp.
At this moment, the Western Army camp was ready, and the enemy suddenly came back with Yang Keshi in custody. This made them very nervous. If the thieves used the hostage trick, they really didn't know what to do.
"Ruda?"
Zhong Shidao looked at Lu Zhishen escorting Yang Keshi back with a complicated expression. A battle made him see how terrifying Liangshanbo was. These people were no longer bandits.
"Commander Zhong, for the sake of past friendship, I will return General Yang to you!"
Lu Zhishen shouted to Master Zhongdao.
"Ruda, what exactly do you want to do?"
Zhong Shidao looked at Lu Zhishen and shouted in a deep voice, Yang Keshi was a strong general of the Western Army. He did not believe that Lu Zhishen would let Yang Keshi go so easily. No matter he was a thief or a foreigner, it was impossible to let him go for no reason on the battlefield. .
"Zhongshuai, young monk Lu Zhishen, Luda is a layman's name, so say goodbye!"
Lu Zhishen said a Buddhist salute to the master and left on horseback.
Seeing Lu Zhishen leave directly, everyone in the Western Army had doubts on their faces.
"Are you really going to leave like this?"
Wang Yan said in disbelief.
"elder brother!"
Yang Kebi didn't care so much. Lu Zhishen was gone and Yang Keshi was alone in front of the battle. There was no conspiracy in this.
Yang Kebi quickly went out to greet Yang Keshi.
"what happened?"
Zhong Shidao looked at Yang Keshi and asked, why did Sun Lei send Yang Keshi back just after the battle?
"Commander Zhong, Sun Lei asked me to deliver a letter back. I did not betray the army!"
Yang Keshi quickly handed over the letter and said.
"Well, I believe you!"
Zhong Shidao took the letter and nodded. He knew Yang Keshi. He was a real warrior on the battlefield and would never betray the army.
Zhong Shidao opened the envelope, took out the letter paper and read it.
"Shuai Zhong, what did Sun Lei say in the letter?"
Wang Yan and others asked.
"It's still those words, saying that water from wells should not be violated by rivers, so that I can go hunting tigers with peace of mind!"
Master Zhong shook his head and said.
"What is Sun Lei doing? Are you giving in?"
Wang Yan frowned and asked, "In the morning battle, Sun Lei had the upper hand. Logically speaking, if you have the upper hand, you should pursue the victory while showing weakness is likely to lure the enemy."
"Tighten the inside and loosen the outside tonight, strengthen defenses, be careful of Sun Lei attacking the camp!"
Zhong Shidao looked at the crowd and said, Sun Lei's sudden show of weakness must be a problem. The most likely way is to paralyze them and then make a sneak attack.
Taiyuan Prefecture.
"Why don't you fight? Sun Lei is a loser. He clearly has the upper hand. Why don't you fight?"
Tian Bao was so angry that he walked back and forth in the government office. His mood had been ups and downs in the past two days, which made him extremely irritable.
"Second King, it's bad! Those people in Liangshan let Yang Keshi go!"
Xu Yue ran in and shouted loudly.
"What? Let it go?"
Tian Bao was furious. Yang Keshi was a strong man under Zhong Shidao. How could he let such a person go?
"Really, Lu Zhishen personally led people to release it, and even talked with the Western Army! I don't know what the conspiracy is!"
Xu Yue said quickly.
"Is he trying to negotiate a peace with the Western Army? Sun Lei didn't fight resolutely today. He clearly had the advantage, but he refused to pursue him and watched the Western Army retreat!"
Zhang Xiong was furious and immediately guessed that Sun Lei must not want to fight anymore.
"Damn it, that traitor took my money but didn't do anything! Damn it!"
Tian Bao roared.
"What should we do? Sun Lei won't fight? How can we fight?"
Xiang Zhong was anxious. They had watched the entire battle between Liang Shanbo's army and the Western Army. Although the battle was not fierce, it frightened them. If they had been in their place, they would have been defeated in one encounter.
"If Sun Lei stops fighting and Zhong Shidao attacks the city with all his strength, we may not be able to stop him!"
Dang Shilong hurriedly said, Yang Keshi's 5,000 men could beat them so hard that they couldn't hold their heads up. Now that Zhongshi Dao has come, and he has brought more than 20,000 troops, how can they stop him?
The Tao of Master Zhong may not be famous in the world, but it is extremely famous in Kansai. The Zhong family is originally a powerful family in Shanxi. Who knows the military reputation of the Zhong family? Zhong Shidao has been fighting against Xixia at the border for many years, and he has won consecutive battles.
"How's it going with the Western Army?"
Tian Bao looked at Xu Yue and asked.
"It's nothing special. Yang Keshi entered the military camp and then the camp door was closed!"
Xu Yue said.
"Let's go, follow me to the city wall!"
Tian Bao gritted his teeth and said.
On the city wall, Tian Bao and others observed the Liangshan camp and the Western Army camp. They seemed to be really not ready to fight.
The Liangshan camp is now filled with smoke, and there are soldiers washing and drying clothes outside the camp.
The Western Army camp was not so relaxing and comfortable, but the defense was indeed loosened a lot. The soldiers seemed to be tired and had gone to rest.
"This is normal. Master Zhong came all the way with his men, and Sun Lei fought when he saw them. The Western Army must be out of men and horses now, and they need to recuperate for two days!"
Zhang Xiong said.
"Okay, we will attack the Western Army camp tonight and kill this group of Western Army in one fell swoop."
Tian Bao's face was cold, and he said these words between his teeth.
"Fighting the Western Army?"
Everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they all looked at Tian Bao with horror.
"What do you think I'm going to do? Sun Lei won't fight. Now Zhongshidao has suffered a defeat, and the men and horses are exhausted. If we don't attack, aren't we waiting for death? As long as we destroy this group of Western troops, we will all be heroes of the Jin Dynasty!"
Tian Bao looked at everyone and said.
Everyone looked at Tian Bao and didn't know what to say. They were all a little scared and worried that they wouldn't be able to defeat him.
"Look, when will we encounter a Western Army camp like this again? If we wait until Master Zhong calms down, we will be beaten again. Instead of being beaten passively, it is better to kill them first!"
Tian Bao pointed to the Western Army camp in the distance and said, this is the first time he has seen the lax defense of the Zhongshidao camp. This is an excellent opportunity.
"Okay, let's fight!"
Zhang Xiong also made a decision. He was stationed in Taiyuan Mansion. Instead of passively waiting to die, it was better to go out and destroy the enemy.
"Okay, let's set out at midnight tonight and come back after the killing!"
Tian Bao was overjoyed when he saw Zhang Xiong's agreement. Zhang Xiong was the palace commander and he was the second king of Jin. It was enough for them to make a decision.
In the dark night, Tian Bao and Zhang Xiong gathered 50,000 troops from Taiyuan Prefecture. The city gate quietly opened and the army marched towards the Western Army camp.
At this time, the Western Army camp was quiet, with only a few scattered bonfires lit outside. The same was true inside the camp, with only a few lights. It seemed that everyone was asleep.
"What a God-given opportunity. Send the order, rush in, kill everyone on sight, and leave no one alive!"
Tian Bao came closer and ordered with a grin on his face.
