After Sun Lei returned to Taiyuan Mansion, he said that the illness would no longer appear and he would leave everything to everyone.
"Commander Xiao, now Tong Guan and Zhong Shidao are encircling Qinyuan. I wonder when Leader Sun will send out troops?"
Fang Xuedu looked at Xiao Jiasui and asked, he came to ask for help again. After Fenyang's defeat, Qinyuan was in crisis again.
"As soon as my brother's health improves, I will immediately send our troops south!"
Xiao Jiasui laughed and said, Tian Hu's army's combat effectiveness was so poor that hundreds of thousands of people could not stop the officers and soldiers relying on the mountains.
"The military situation is urgent, I'm afraid there is no time to wait!"
Fang Xuedu was worried.
"What are you talking about, Taiwei Fang? King Tian Hu is extremely majestic and his subordinates are all tiger and wolf masters. Tong Guan has nothing to fear!"
Xiao Jiasui flattered.
Fang Xuedu could not see Sun Lei, so he could only leave and report the matter to Tian Hu.
"Brother, it looks like Tian Hu is going to be unstoppable!"
Wu Song looked at Sun Lei and said.
"Tian Hu is such a loser. I expected him to last a little longer. Now it seems that the war is almost over."
Sun Lei sighed and shook his head and said, Tian Hu was defeated, and the court's next target would be Liang Shanbo.
"Twenty-three thousand war horses, it can be considered that it has increased its strength!"
Sun Lei murmured, Wang Qing surrendered, Tian Hu could no longer hold on, and Fang La didn't know how long he could hold on. Liangshanbo was the only one of the four bandits left in the world, and the future would not be so easy.
"Give me the order and be ready. We can leave at any time."
Sun Lei looked at everyone and said.
"Brother, are we leaving like this?"
Everyone asked quickly.
"Wealth and silk are so attractive! I'm afraid Tong Guan has set his sights on the 23,000 horses."
Sun Lei nodded. Tong Guan had always dreamed of regaining the throne of Yanyun. Twenty-three thousand war horses could equip a hundred thousand troops. How could Tong Guan let him go?
"Brother, don't we care about Tian Hu?"
Tang Bin said, they came to Hedong this time to help Tian Hu.
"Of course we have to help. If we don't help him, we may not be able to escape."
Sun Lei said.
In the following days, battle reports came frequently, and Tian Hu lost Lingchuan, Gaoping, Jincheng, Qinshui, and Yangcheng successively. The entire southeastern part of Henan Province has been recaptured by Tong Guan.
"There's something about this Tong Guan!"
Sun Lei looked at the battle report. An army of 150,000 troops captured five cities in one month.
"I heard that Tong Guan is bringing people from Huaixi this time!"
Xiao Jiasui said.
"Wang Qing? Are you so anxious to show your loyalty?"
Sun Lei nodded.
"But the war seems to have stalled. Tong Guan is holding back his bad intentions."
Sun Lei touched his chin. Tong Guan had never held back from the beginning. He was always eager for quick success. Now that Tian Hu was about to be destroyed, Tong Guan suddenly stopped. This was a problem in itself.
"Brother, I'm afraid Tong Guan is trying to deal with us!"
Xiao Jiasui whispered.
"Commander Xiao said that Tong Guan is coming to find me?"
Sun Lei thought for a while and said.
"It's very possible, as my brother said, money and silk are so attractive that Tong Guan is here just for these horses, and Tian Hu hasn't sent anyone to ask for help in the past few days!"
Xiao Jiasui said, Tian Hu has been constantly asking for help during this period, but he suddenly stopped sending people in the past two days, which is not normal.
"Brother! A large number of enemies are coming from Fenyang!"
Guo Sheng walked in from outside.
"I'm really talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here! It looks like Tong Guan is really here!"
Sun Lei said with a smile.
"The army is assembled, let's go meet Privy Child Tong for a while!"
Sun Lei stood up and looked at everyone and said.
When Sun Lei came to the city wall, Yue Fei, who had received the military order, came from the north with a thousand cavalry in full swing.
"It's great to be young. I'm so active all day long in training!"
Looking at Yue Fei, who was charging forward on horseback and roaring excitedly, Sun Lei sighed for a while. The thousand soldiers were so tired that their faces were full of bitterness, and the horses were so tired that they stuck out their tongues.
"I heard that Tong Guan is coming?"
Lu Zhishen went up to the city wall with his Zen staff. He did not have a good impression of Tong Guan. Since Tong Guan came to power, the casualties of the entire Western Army have increased dramatically. Too many people died in vain because of Tong Guan's stupid decision.
"Well, there are about fifty thousand soldiers and horses!"
Sun Lei nodded.
"In addition, the border troops seem to have mobilized, and Tong Guan doesn't seem to want me to leave!"
Sun Lei pointed to the north and said with a smile, Tong Guan spent a lot of money this time. Not only the Hebei frontier army, but also the Western army in Guanxi and the Hebei frontier army were mobilized. The entire Hedong seemed to have been surrounded.
After gathering the army, Sun Lei led his troops directly out of the city the next day.
"Brother, don't we defend the city?"
Deng Fei looked at Sun Lei in confusion. The city walls of Taiyuan Prefecture were tall and powerful, and their army could withstand a hundred thousand troops.
"A city alone cannot be defended. Now the three forces from the east of Hedong, us, Tong Guan, and Tian Hu, are just here to make up the numbers. Tong Guan and Tian Hu should fight to win first!"
Sun Lei shook his head and said, if he defends the city, Tong Guan will definitely surround him, and then he will become a tiger sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers. This is not a situation he wants.
After marching for eighty miles, the army finally saw Tong Guan's vanguard.
"Wang Qing, how does it feel to be a dog?"
When Sun Lei saw the person coming, he pointed at Wang Qing and cursed. Wang Qing actually became Tong Guan's vanguard.
"Sun Lei, those who know the current affairs are heroes. You are short-sighted, do you know that you will harm the lives of your brothers? Now Tong Xiang is about to have a big event. If you are willing to surrender, when the event is completed, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth!"
Wang Qing was not angry at all. Instead, he looked at Sun Lei and shouted.
"From what you say, being a dog is quite fun!"
Sun Lei said disdainfully, Wang Qing looked a bit brave before, but now he just looks like a dog.
"Whatever you say, being a rich man's dog is better than being a wild dog that everyone shouts to beat! Do you think you can succeed? From ancient times to the present, how has any Jianghu people successfully rebelled? I advise you to give up that idea as soon as possible. Don’t harm the entire world!”
Wang Qing shouted loudly that his words were not meant for Sun Lei. Sun Lei was determined to rebel, and not everyone could resist the temptation of the throne.
But there is only one emperor. If Sun Lei wants to be the emperor, he can naturally risk his life, but what about the people around Sun Lei? Even if you follow Sun Lei, the best result is to follow the dragon's merits and get a title of nobility and prime minister, but everyone knows how dangerous this is. If there is any problem, everyone will be killed.
There is no risk in surrendering to the imperial court. You can truly only make profits but not lose anything. Even if the imperial court is gone, just surrender and follow the new emperor, and the glory and wealth will still be there.
"Haha, is this what you think?"
Sun Lei laughed and looked at Wang Qing. It turned out that this was what Wang Qing and others thought. Everyone was for profit, but Wang Qing and others chose the safest path.
Wang Qing looked at the people around Sun Lei. There was no commotion as expected. The people around Sun Lei looked calm and didn't seem to hear his shouting.
"How did Sun Lei brainwash these people! Everyone obeyed Sun Lei's words!"
Wang Qing secretly gritted his teeth and said that he had no idea what people like Liang Shanbo were thinking. It was such a good choice to submit to the imperial court. Why were these people so stubborn and so desperate?
"Wang Qing, since we saw him, let's kill him for a while!"
Sun Lei looked at Wang Qing and said.
When Wang Qing on the opposite side heard this, he turned around and left, and the army also retreated like a tide. (End of chapter)
