Yang Keshi wanted to speak to dissuade him, but Zhong Shidao winked at him and shook his head slightly. At this time, Tong Guan was already angry. He could not be persuaded, and opening his mouth would only make Tong Guan furious.
Tong Guan led the army to the front of the military formation with a sullen face. Tong Guan rode a tall horse and held a sword in his hand.
"Master Lu, look at that knife!"
Sun Lei suddenly smiled and said to Lu Zhishen beside him.
"Isn't that knife the same knife that Lin Chong bought? Didn't you sell it to Tong Guan?"
Lu Zhishen may not have deep memories of other things, but he remembers weapons very clearly. This was the sword that Lin Chong bought, and was later sold by Sun Lei.
"Haha, it's a pity that Lin Chong is not here!"
Sun Lei said with a smile, it would be fun if Lin Chong were here. Lin Chong was very proud of the sword he bought.
"Tong Guan, you finally came out!"
Sun Lei looked at Tong Guandao with a smile. He didn't even talk to Tong Guandao yesterday, but he just happened to have a look at the Privy Councilor today.
"Sun Lei, you thief, I will fight you until death!"
Tong Guan gritted his teeth and looked at Sun Lei fiercely and shouted, Sun Lei not only defeated him today, but also humiliated him. A scholar cannot be killed and cannot be humiliated. Today, the relationship has been forged.
"Tong Xiang, why are you so red-faced and thick-necked? You are a noble! You must pay attention to your image!"
Sun Lei said with a smile, the nobility has long been lost in history along with the family, but high-ranking officials like Tong Guan are worthy of the title of nobility.
Sun Lei's childish words made Tong Guan's gloomy face suddenly turn into the color of pig liver, as if he suddenly choked on his meal and couldn't swallow it or spit it out.
"You... you... a silver-tongued evil thief!"
Tong Guan saw that everyone was looking at him, and his teeth were almost broken. He was the Privy Envoy of the Song Dynasty, one person was worth more than ten thousand people. He was a real nobleman, not a bastard like Sun Lei. Face was very important to him.
"Tong Xiang, you just use your mouth to curse, but your demeanor is not good!"
Sun Lei said with a smile, his tone was very polite, even a bit flattering.
"Hmph...you are worthy of playing tricks in front of me!"
Tong Guan looked at Sun Lei coldly. He is also a human being. His ability to observe words and emotions is unparalleled in the world. He can serve even the emperor who enjoys the wealth and honor in the world comfortably. This is his ability. The fake smile on Sun Lei's face There was no way to deceive him, he was an expert, and he could tell at a glance that Sun Lei was playing tricks.
"Haha, you really can't hide anything from Tong Xiang!"
Sun Lei did not deny that he could despise Tong Guan's military ability, but he could not deny Tong Guan's vision. Only a few eunuchs could rise from the bottom to such a high position as Privy Councilor.
Seeing that Sun Lei did not deny it, Tong Guan's face improved a lot. He became the arrogant Privy Council Tong again. In two days, he finally took the initiative.
"Rebel, it's not too late to surrender now. I don't remember the faults of villains and can forgive your crimes!"
Tong Guan looked at Sun Lei with a proud face and said, why would Sun Lei show weakness at this time other than surrender?
"Surrender? Are you thinking too much?"
Sun Lei's expression changed, he looked at Tong Guan and said.
"What do you mean!"
Tong Guan's face also turned cold.
"I mean you should retreat, this is not the place you should come!"
Sun Lei looked at Tong Guan and said, Tong Guan didn't seem to understand the situation.
"I have been ordered to suppress thieves, how dare you, the thieves, be so arrogant!"
Tong Guan shouted angrily.
"Give you a chance, retreat quickly, or I will take your head today!"
Sun Lei looked at Tong Guan and said.
At this moment, murderous intent emerged from Sun Lei's body, and the contrast between before and after made Tong Guan's face turn cold. Just now, Sun Lei had a flattering look on his face, but now he turned against him. It was faster than flipping through a book.
"Brother, why not take down Tong Guan in one go!"
Tang Bin whispered.
"We just won the battle, and we haven't gathered our manpower yet. Now we are fighting to the death against the 20,000 people from Zhongshi Dao. Even if we win, we will suffer heavy losses. This is not Shandong. We must minimize our losses and preserve our strength!"
Sun Lei shook his head slightly and said, it is indeed good to capture Tong Guan, but if you pay too much price, the gains outweigh the losses. He took his brothers deep behind enemy lines and naturally wanted to bring them back.
"What my brother said is absolutely true! To capture Tong Guan at this time, Zhong Shidao and these people will definitely fight to the death. Although our combat power is strong, if we want to capture the 20,000 Western Army, the losses will definitely not be small. There are large armies coming from all sides. We can't take risks. .My brother’s safety is at stake in Liangshan, and the troops and horses around him must not suffer too much loss.”
Xiao Jiasui said, Tong Guan is a waste and insignificant, and it is even better to keep him alive. A corrupt and flattering person like Tong Guan, staying with Zhao Ji can even hasten the demise of the Song Dynasty.
"Tong Xiang, there is no need to argue with the thieves. It won't be too late to kill Sun Lei when the soldiers and horses are gathered together!"
Seeing that Tong Guan was a little shaken, Master Zhongdao knew that Tong Guan was determined to withdraw, so he took advantage of the situation and spoke.
"Sun Lei, I will spare you this time!"
Tong Guan put the sword into its scabbard, said a harsh word and returned to the battle.
"General Zhong, I don't know whether you were right or wrong in saving Tong Guan today."
Sun Lei looked at Zhong Shidao and said with a smile, Zhong Shidao had great ambitions and was considered a famous general, but it was a pity that he met a boss like Tong Guan.
Zhong Shidao didn't say anything, turned around and left. Sun Lei's words were suspected of splitting him and Tong Guan. Discord between generals is a taboo in the army.
The Western Army quickly retreated, looking at the retreating Western Army Sun Lei with a smile on his face.
"Brother, what's so funny about this?"
Su Sheng looked at Sun Lei doubtfully and asked.
"Clean the battlefield, let's go to Hebei! We don't want to stay in Hedong any longer!"
Sun Lei looked at the crowd and ordered that all the armies should be setting off soon. By then hundreds of thousands of troops would be heavily surrounded, and he was not sure of breaking out, so he might as well leave now.
Many prisoners were captured in this battle, and a total of 30,000 of Tong Guan's 50,000-strong army were captured.
"Take these people into Taiyuan Mansion and form a team of 1,000 people!"
Sun Lei looked at the prisoners in the group and said, these people must be taken away.
Sun Lei did not stay in Taiyuan Mansion for long. At this time, Taiyuan Mansion was already like an empty city. Last time, many people took their families to Cangzhou. Now only some people are left who cannot leave.
"Brother, I'm afraid our wandering boy will go crazy. He gathered several troops and mobilized dozens of states, but we left."
Xiao Jiasui said with a smile.
"Let him go. Nothing will happen if he just beats Tian Hu honestly. He insists on coming to us to ask for trouble. He deserves to be embarrassed."
Sun Lei said with a smile.
"Brother, there are unidentified cavalry fifty miles ahead!"
Lu Fang came riding on horseback to report.
"alert!"
Lu Zhishen waved his hand, and Sun An led the cavalry forward.
"Fifty miles? This place is close to Baigou. They are not from Liao, right?"
Sun Lei narrowed his eyes and said. The Hebei border army has low combat power and should not dare to cause trouble. The only people with large cavalry in the Hebei border area are the Liao people.
