"General Tian, wait a moment, open the door quickly!"
Sun Lei shouted to the city, but after a long time, there was no movement at the city gate or the suspension bridge.
"General Tian, please wait a moment. My brothers have never entered such a big city before and got lost in the city. Wait a moment!"
Sun Lei smiled and said to Tian Bao below the city.
"Sun Lei, can you open the door?"
Tian Bao roared angrily. The sound of fighting behind him was already very quiet. His men should be finished soon. If he didn't enter the city, everything would be over.
"Hold on!"
Sun Lei said with a smile.
"Second King, Sun Lei has made it clear that he does not want to open the city gate. We cannot stay here for a long time. Let's leave quickly!"
Duan Ren looked at the closed city gate, then at the fighting behind him, and said anxiously, if the Western Army came to kill, everything would be over.
"I'll lead the men to kill you!"
Zhang Xiong held a knife and wanted to call people to rush to the city, but they had no weapons except swords, and the suspension bridge had been retracted. Not to mention how to get up to the tall city wall, they couldn't even cross the moat.
"Let's go back to Qinyuan to move troops!"
Tian Bao gritted his teeth and said, with such a small number of people, they can't attack the city. If they continue to stay here, they will be dead.
"Second King, we want to take back Taiyuan!"
Xu Yue looked at Tian Bao anxiously. How could they explain to Tian Hu that they had lost Taiyuan Mansion?
"Walk!"
Tian Bao gritted his teeth and shouted this word. He didn't want to give up Taiyuan Mansion, but now the situation forced them to leave.
"Sun Lei, I have written down today's revenge, and I will pay it back tenfold in the future!"
Tian Bao left these harsh words and led his troops away.
"As long as you repay me ten times, live first and then talk!"
Sun Lei smiled disdainfully and said that his whereabouts have been exposed. The imperial court will send a large army to Hedong soon. Tian Bao and others should survive first.
The sky gradually became brighter, and the night's fighting came to an end. The Western Army successfully annihilated more than 40,000 enemies.
When Shidao Zhong and his troops arrived at Taiyuan City, a banner of the Great Sage Qitian was erected on the city.
"Sun Lei!"
Zhong Shidao's face was gloomy. They fought all night, but in the end, Sun Lei got the advantage.
"General Zhong, did you have a great time fighting last night? This can be considered as an explanation to your superiors!"
Sun Lei looked at Master Zhong and said with a smile.
"you do this delibrately?"
Zhong Shidao looked at Sun Lei. At this moment, he didn't understand everything about yesterday.
After yesterday's battle, Zhong Shidao was a little confused. Why did Sun Lei's army retreat after a simple battle yesterday because it was so powerful? He was already ready to withdraw his troops and return to the camp to rely on the camp to fight a war of attrition.
Later, Sun Lei asked Lu Zhishen to release Yang Keshi without any request. From the time Yang Keshi was captured to the time he was released, only two hours later, the two sides were still at war and did not even talk about negotiations.
Everything yesterday couldn't be understood, so Zhong Shidao thought that Sun Lei would attack the camp, and he deliberately set a trap.
But today all this can be explained. Everything yesterday was arranged by Sun Lei. The purpose was to trick Tian Bao into leaving the city and then seize Taiyuan Mansion.
"Don't say that. General Zhong wiped out more than 40,000 enemies in one battle. This is a great achievement. General Zhong should report his merits to the court first!"
Sun Lei smiled.
"Commander Zhong, let's attack!"
Yang Kebi whispered to Zhong Shidao, "Have our Western Army ever been teased like this?"
"Back off first!"
Zhong Shidao shook his head. He also wanted to attack Taiyuan Mansion, but Taiyuan Mansion's city was tall and surrounded by a moat. They did not have large siege equipment and could not attack it at all.
"Haha, they're all gone, Taiyuan Mansion belongs to us!"
Watching Master Zhong leave, Sun Lei laughed.
"Brother, the food and grass are piled up like mountains!"
Xiao Jiasui walked up to the city wall with a smile and said, Tian Bao and Zhang Xiong plundered all the food and grass around Taiyuan Mansion, and they couldn't even count it for a while.
"So much? Then give some to the people in the city!"
Sun Lei nodded and said, since it was piled up like a mountain, he would definitely not be able to finish it. He was not planning to stay in Taiyuan Mansion for a long time. Since he couldn't finish it and couldn't take it with him, he might as well strive for a good reputation.
"Yes, brother!"
Xiao Jiasui smiled and clasped her fists and went down to the city to make arrangements.
Tokyo city.
A fast horse ran to the city gate, and a letter was quickly delivered to the palace.
"What, Sun Lei is in Hedong with an army of 10,000 people!"
Zhao Ji was furious when he looked at the military report in front of him.
"What are you doing? Didn't you say that Sun Lei was in Qingzhou? Why did the military report say that Sun Lei was in Hedong!"
Zhao Ji pointed at the officials of the Privy Council and shouted angrily. The Privy Council had been telling him that Sun Lei was having a passionate fight with a woman in Qingzhou. Now that Sun Lei has fallen into the land of gentleness, they can take a look at it slowly, but now Sun Lei has appeared thousands of miles away. Taiyuan Prefecture.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the military report is wrong. Nowadays, reports about Sun Lei and that woman are spreading all over Shandong. How can this be false?"
An official said, they have been keeping an eye on the news in Shandong, and now Sun Lei's romantic deeds have become a must-talk after dinner.
"Yes, I heard that Sun Lei sent things to that woman every now and then, and everyone in Qingzhou Prefecture saw it."
Another official said, if Sun Lei is not in Qingzhou, the Privy Council will be embarrassed, and the emperor will even hold them accountable.
"Are you saying that Zhong Shidao lied about military information?"
Zhao Ji looked at the military report in front of him with some doubts. He had also heard about Sun Lei's romantic deeds.
"It is very possible, Your Majesty, the cultivation of troops and the suppression of bandits has not been successful, and there has been no progress. Now you dare to lie about military information. Your Majesty, please issue an order to punish me!"
Immediately, someone came out of class and spoke. They couldn't be wrong. What was wrong could only be a teacher's way.
"Your Majesty, there is no way the military reports are false!"
Li Gang immediately left work and said, those who spoke just now are all treacherous and sycophantic people. They all speak without thinking. No matter how stupid a teacher is, he will not make fun of military reports.
"Then you said Sun Lei really went to Taiyuan Mansion? How did he go? He flew over a thousand miles away, blocked by mountains?"
Everyone in the Privy Council immediately besieged Li Gang.
"This...I don't know how Sun Lei got there, but General Zhong will never make fun of military reports."
Li Gang didn't know how to explain it.
"Your Majesty, six hundred miles urgent!"
An eunuch came across another military report and handed it to Zhao Ji.
"What? Sun Lei occupied Taiyuan Mansion?"
Zhao Ji's roar started again.
At this moment, all the officials were in an uproar, whispering to each other, and everyone in the Privy Council was livid. One military report may be fake, but two must be true, and it was sent six hundred miles away as a rush.
"You have to give me an explanation!"
Zhao Ji pointed at the Privy Council officials and roared, feeling like a fool and being deceived.
"Your Majesty, six hundred miles urgent!"
Another eunuch ran in.
"read!"
Zhao Ji didn't even bother to look at it this time. He angrily threw the memorial in front of him to the ground and shouted.
"Tong Xiang urgently reported that he recently recovered eighty-six counties in eight states in Huaixi. Wang Qing, the leader of the bandits, was grateful for His Majesty's grace and led more than 400,000 people to surrender..."
The eunuch opened the military newspaper and began to read anxiously.
"More than 400,000 people surrendered?"
Zhao Ji felt that his brain was a little exhausted. Just now he was full of anger, but now he was full of joy. The change between joy and anger was too fast.
