@@In Pingchang City, there is a Dengzhou reinforcement force of thousands of people at this time, plus a big leader Wang Zhen, two leaders Meng Zhigui and Chang Fu, and a guest guest Xie Minghe... And Bai Yousi has just been with Ma Ping'er went straight to the chessboard camp in front of Ban County to meet Zhang Xing, and it took him only half an hour to set off.

In fact, Wu Jingfeng had already left Douzigang, and Wei Xuanding had also left Ban County and gathered there.

Everyone is preparing to discuss strategies for the next phase of the war based on the latest battle conditions on the east and west sides.

At this time, outside Pingchang City, an official army arriving with reinforcements suddenly sent envoys into Pingchang City to ask for surrender. If nothing else was said, several people in the city were naturally shocked.

"Is this a fake surrender?!" Wang Zhen, as the only big leader here, but also the leader of the reinforcements who had just arrived from Dengzhou, almost instinctively said something that almost everyone would doubt. It’s already evening, why don’t you come to Neiyingqi Castle?”

"Not necessarily." Chang Zheng blurted out. How could a supervisor Sima lead a lieutenant general, kidnap a prefect, and bring an army to pretend to surrender? This book is too big! Hebei is full of large counties, and a prefect can compete with a large number of people. Big boss. "

"It won't be a fake surrender!" Xie Minghe immediately made a guarantee after quickly reading the letter of surrender brought by the courier. "I recognize Chen Bin. He and I are old friends in Jiangdong. I have been ordered to persuade him to surrender before. He did not come here for no reason... I am willing to guarantee him."

Wang Zhen was still hesitant.

"Whatever." Meng Zhigui said in a loud voice. Let them wait, and we will quickly send people to Ban County Camp to ask for instructions. "

"Asking for instructions is inevitable." Xie Minghe immediately woke up and quickly told the important point. But if this army is not included in the city at this time, and Xue Changxiong finds out that he leads his troops to attack at night, the surrendering army will probably be eliminated! At that time, no one will dare to continue to come and surrender, and this is a great opportunity. It will be wasted in vain. "

Wang Zhen was slightly startled.

But at this point, Meng Zhigui and Chang Fu didn't say anything more. This was not just because, like Wang Zhen, they had just arrived and had a dark eye on the situation in Hebei. Another important point is that although they are leaders, they are essentially surrendering, and they cannot be called Miao Honggenzheng... It is not that they are not willing to perform meritorious services, but their shoulders are really narrow and they cannot bear that responsibility.

Xie Minghe wanted to urge him, but after thinking about it, he instead grasped an important point: "Your Excellency, think about it... where did they come from? From the east! And the letter clearly stated that it was because they knew that Chief Bai defeated Youyou last night. The matter of the state army, and then defecting to Yangxin could not be pursued. Therefore, we don’t care about anything. We only want to talk about one thing, that is, the troops outside the city at this time think that Chief Bai, your Excellency, and I will lead them. The Dengzhou soldiers are in the city! So, give them some courage to pretend to surrender under the nose of a master like Leader Bai?"

"Not bad!" Wang Zhen suddenly realized. "If you knew that Chief Bai was here, how dare you bring three such important people over to pretend to surrender to gain the city? It must be a real surrender."

"That's good." Xie Minghe was overjoyed and quickly continued the assignment. "Boss Wang and Meng are making arrangements in the city. I will go out to pick up people and see if it is Chen Bin. If so, I will bring them in immediately...Chief Chang will immediately go to the west to inform Longtou and the others!"

Wang Zhen immediately decided: "That's it!"

Since someone took responsibility, the matter was naturally implemented quickly, and soon, with Xie Minghe leading the way, Chen Bin and Wang Fubei escorted the prefect Zhou who had been crying all day and was almost dry with tears, and the finally stunned Zhang Gongshen came in.

When the two sides met, Chen and Wang naturally wanted to see Bai Yousi.

At this time, Xie Minghe told the truth and clearly told the other party that Bai Yousi had taken another female leader, Ma Ping'er, to the Ban County camp.

"Then I also want to go to Banxian Camp!" Chen Bin thought for a moment and said immediately. "We must meet the person who calls the shots tonight."

"I can make the decision myself." Wang Zhen replied proudly. "I just made the decision to let you in."

Chen Bin was stunned for a moment.

However, Xie Minghe had no choice but to smooth things over: "This is the leader of the Great Sage King."

"It's not the one who makes the decision..." Chen Bin reacted and suppressed his confusion.

The emotion of anger or helplessness, please explain quickly. It means that as the supervisor of the army, I have the secret of the overall military situation, and it is only effective tonight. I need to inform the military commander who can make the decision as soon as possible. There are those who can make the decision to send troops to fight. Therefore, it is not Zhang and Bai. In person, even Wei and Xiong wouldn't be able to say it, let alone Chief Wang."

Wang Zhen somewhat knew the pros and cons, but when the other party rushed him, he felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

Xie Minghe was helpless and immediately came back to make a correction: "Boss Wang, Chen Bin is the superintendent of the army. He knows the secrets of the Hejian camp. The chance of victory may be tonight! How about you sit here and I will accompany him to pursue him?" Chief Chang!".

Wang Zhen then nodded angrily: "Go quickly!"

Just when Chen Bin formally surrendered to Wang Fubei and then hurried westward with Xie Minghe, Xue Changxiong and other high-ranking officers had already realized that Chen Bin problem occurs.

"There is no news at this time. I am afraid that Chen Sima really encountered Bai Sanniang's Dengzhou Army!" Murong Zhengyan said seriously. "Should we send a troop of troops to rescue him?"

"Isn't it too late to save him at this time?" Wang Yu, the commander-in-chief, frowned slightly. "If Sanniang Bai really hits him head-on, and then Sanniang Bai only stares at him, with all due respect, there is no way to save him at this time... On the other hand, as long as Sanniang Bai doesn't target Chen Sima, then I It is estimated that Chen Sima and Prefect Zhou were driven to the east at most and temporarily retreated to Leling and Wudi."

"Not bad." Xue Changxiong nodded in his seat, also worried. "That's the truth... But Chen Sima is a key point in the army. I can't live without him here. That's good. Write a document immediately and ask the messenger to take it to Leling. First, see if Chen Sima is there? If so, , ask him to come back as soon as possible; if he is not here, immediately ask Wang Fubei, who should be in Leling at this time, to go south with Han Dingbo to do search and rescue!"

In the big tent, several Chinese military aircraft officers looked at each other. They were actually able to listen to the military meeting at the beginning. The most they could say was that the Youzhou army was defeated too quickly, and there was an information gap with Chen Sima. This seemed to be correct. on... But at this point, I am full of doubts.

"What's wrong?" Xue Changxiong frowned. "Why don't you quickly prepare military orders?"

With no other choice, the confidential lieutenant surnamed Yu, who had taken half a step earlier, could only bite the bullet and remind carefully: "General... Before Chen Sima went to pick up Governor Zhou today, he did some paperwork on the order of the general. , according to the document, the two generals Wang and Han, as well as the soldiers of Bohai County, are going south to Yangxin to gather the Youzhou Army... Did the general forget it? "

Xue Changxiong was stunned on the spot: "On my order? Why didn't I know?"

The entire Chinese army tent was silent.

"Then send people to Yangxin at the same time!" Murong Zhengyan was the first to react and quickly reminded him. "At this time, the first priority is to find out the military situation in various places in the east, and at the same time, we will work hard to search for Chen Sima! After the arrangement is completed, we will discuss it again!"

Xue Changxiong came to his senses and waved his hand quickly: "Did you hear that? Please do the paperwork quickly!"

Several confidential documents seemed to have received amnesty and went about their own business.

But Xue Changxiong immediately ordered someone: "Deputy Lieutenant Yu, come here and tell us clearly what Chen Sima did this morning."

Lieutenant Yu knew that something was wrong, but he could only tremble and move forward. Surrounded by many lieutenant generals, he spoke: "In the morning, before dawn, my subordinates were dozing off at their desks here. It was because Chen was Sima woke up by slapping his forehead..."

Qian Tang, the governor of Pingyuan, who listened carefully to the story, couldn't help but rub his shoes on the ground.

On the other hand, Zhang Xing and Bai Yousi met each other, and then went to summon the leaders to prepare for a meeting. They had a meal together before the meeting, and then the meeting started for only a quarter of an hour, and the discussion of the matter had just confirmed the current status of all parties. As for the military situation, Xie Minghe suddenly broke in and made a report directly in Zhang Xing's ear.

Everyone was surprised and puzzled.

Zhang Xing also froze on the spot.

Xie Minghe had no choice but to repeat it again.

Zhang Xing finally said: "Aren't you kidding?"

Zhang Dalongtou couldn't help but be so surprised. Xue Changxiong, who was facing him, had not dared to go here until now.

I'm thinking in a different direction! That's Sima, the supervisor of the Hejian camp!

"He's right in front of the door, Chief Chang is watching!" Xie Minghe quickly pointed to the door with his finger. "I asked clearly... The internal reason is that Xue Changxiong has been angry with him and disrespected him these days, and the external reason is that leader Bai led the Dengzhou Army to suddenly defeat the Youzhou Army. He took the responsibility and lost his composure in fear. , so just come and vote! Zhang Longtou, listen to me, this person's identity must know the important affairs of all the military aircraft on the opposite side. Now he surrenders and immediately comes to look for you. I'm afraid he really has something to say, so why not take the initiative to greet him as a gesture? "

Zhang Xing came back to his senses and realized the truth of the matter. He immediately stood up without hesitation. He only shook the white short cloak on his body, then looked around and said seriously: "Everyone, Sima Chen, the supervisor of the Hejian Camp Bin abandoned the secret and turned to the light. He is right outside the door. Come with me to welcome him!"

Everyone was shocked, and many people were simply dumbfounded, but the quick-thinking ones were already overjoyed like Xie Minghe. Immediately, whether they were quick-thinking or confused, whether they had just arrived or were originally in the camp, they all stood up with Zhang Xing, Go outside together.

The sky outside was already very dark. Chen Bin stood sideways outside the large barracks, looking at the barracks coldly, thoughtfully, always walking back and forth beside him.

Then, the two of them smelled hurried footsteps and loud noises in the large barracks. They thought it was soldiers coming out to stand in front. Unexpectedly, as soon as they moved to take a look, they saw dozens of soldiers wearing white and black short cloaks. The leaders of the Deposed Dragon Gang swarmed out.

The leader reached out his hand from afar and raised his voice: "Chen Sima! Your coming here today is just like the dragon that wandered into Dongchu that day, and like the ancestor who abandoned Longxi! Maybe there will be uneasiness in the future, but I will never regret my behavior today!"

After hearing the previous analogy, Chen Bin sneered in his heart, because although both of them were leaders for a while, neither had a good ending... But after hearing the second half of the sentence, he felt that the other party was pragmatic after all... After all, , after what happened today, he himself was thinking about it on the way, and he just felt that struggling in troubled times was really difficult. If he looks back on today in the future, if he can not regret this behavior, it will be considered good.

What's more, the way the other party led everyone to greet him was actually far beyond his imagination.

Therefore, this Chen Sima also forced a smile and prepared to step forward to shake hands with the other party and talk happily, which could be regarded as a show of cooperation.

The two parties shook hands, and Chen Sima was about to say some words. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xing, who was opposite him, did not have the chance to speak to him. Instead, he directly pulled the other party to turn around, then let go of his hand and pointed at a man wearing a white cloak in front of him. Year of Scribes:

"This is Wei Gong Wei Xuanding, the leader of our Deposed Dragon Gang!"

"Chen Sima, I have long admired your name, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Wei Xuanding knew the key and took the initiative to salute, but Chen Bin's hand was held and he could only bow slightly.

Then, without waiting for the person next to him to say anything, Zhang Xingfu pointed to another person: "This is King Xiongbo Nanxiong! One of the leaders of Zhongyi of our deposed Dragon Gang."

Xiong Bonan also came and bowed his hands.

Then Zhang Xing pointed to Bai Yousi beside him: "This is Yitian Sword Bai Yousi and Bai Sanniang, who is also the leader of Zhongyi. It was she who defeated the Youzhou Army in Yangxin last night!"

Bai Yousi naturally knew what Zhang Xing was thinking, so he immediately bowed his hands and said he was glad to meet him.

Seeing this person salute, Chen Bin was frightened for a moment, but his hand was grabbed and he had no choice but to accept the salute.

"This person is also the leader of Zhongyi, the famous Wu Jingfeng in Jingxiang!" Zhang Xing pointed to another person.

Wu Jingfeng smiled and followed Bai Yousi's lead in bowing.

Next, Zhang Xing actually didn't pull anyone, and pointed at Wang Shuyong, Shan Tonghai, Cheng Zhili, Fu Boshi, Gao Shitong, Zhai Qian, Jia Yue, Zhou Xingfan, Yan Qing, Wang Xiongdan, Ma Ping'er, Liu Zhouchen , Shang Huaien, Jia Runshi, Lu Hongyue, Zhang Shanxiang, Xu Kaitong, Cheng Mingqi, Zu Chenyan, Zheng Ting, Tang Bairen, Fan Bao, Xiahou Ningyuan, Dou Lide, Hao Yide, Zhuge Dewei, Fan Wang.

All the leaders in the room were pointed out and introduced one by one, and everyone took the initiative to salute and greet them.

In the end, Chen Bin knew in his heart that the other party wanted to express his attention and respect, but after receiving a salute from almost all the leaders of the deposed dragon army in Hebei, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, convinced by the other party's

posture, determined not to hide anything.

However, after the introduction, everyone turned back to the barracks, and Chen Bin was surprised again - without him, there was no priority in the discussions here. Instead, there was a fire pit in the middle, and a circle of tables were spliced ​​together. Then this Saburo and a group of people wearing white shirts The big leaders in cloaks sat in a circle.

Then, the leaders arranged a circle around the outside. The young confidential clerical officers in the barracks kept coming and going, providing documents, preparing records, and then once again placed a circle of desks next to the edge of the barracks.

"Get Chen Sima a chair, right next to me." Zhang Xing continued to hold the man's hand and gave instructions.

Immediately, a young officer next to him took a temporary chair from the outermost edge and placed it beside Zhang Xing. Then Zhang Dalongtou personally helped the person in his hand to sit down.

The moment his butt touched the chair, Chen Bin felt completely at ease.

At this time, he wanted to speak and offered his love.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Dalongtou still didn't give him a chance to speak. He just continued to hold one hand and said: "Everyone... Since Chen Sima is here and we are all here, we will make a decision... I think Chen Sima can do it." He is a big leader, and General Wang Fubei who came with him can be a leader! And leader Xu Shiren, who is staying in Pingchang to supervise the front line this time, plus his previous meritorious service in killing Xue Wanliang, should also be promoted to a big leader!"

The crowd burst into cheers, but Chen Bin thought he knew what he was thinking and knew early on that the other party was trying to win people's hearts and make gestures. When he heard these words, he couldn't help but feel angry and blood welling up, and his face turned red for a moment.

In the confusion, Zhang Xing looked at Xie Minghe: "Brother Xie, do you want to wait any longer?"

Xie Minghe sighed and sat down at the back: "Today, let me, my old friend from Nanchen, have some righteousness."

gas. "

"One more." Zhang Xing immediately turned around to tell everyone. "Everyone already knows that Xie Minghe has changed his position from guest minister to leader, but his name is still not disclosed to the public. Please don't waste time and make a decision immediately!"

As he spoke, Zhang Xingzi raised his free hand. Immediately, Wei Xuanding started, followed by Bai Yousi and Xiong Bonan. Everyone raised their hands, and they all passed the matter... Not even Shan Tonghai. Superfluous gesture.

After raising his hand, Zhang Xing still didn't let go. He just turned around and asked, "Chief Chen, we were just discussing the situation of the battle. We really don't know what to do next. Do you have any advice?"

The rest of the people also looked over.

Chen Bin was a little uncomfortable with this new title. He felt it in his heart for a moment, and then slowly said: "You must have already known that the Youzhou Army broke up and went north, right?"

"This is natural." Zhang Xing opened his mouth to answer. "Luo Shu's son Luo Xin had his leg broken and is being locked up in the back!"

Chen Bin nodded and continued to speak slowly: "As you know, Xue Changxiong also sent a group of more than 20,000 people led by Gao Zhan, Xue Wanbi, and Cao Shancheng, including six lieutenants and generals. Are the eight thousand elite special forces from the Hejian Camp going around the flanks, preparing to attack this place from the west side of Douzigang? They are also preparing to use the banner of Qu Tuda!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

But soon, someone reacted.

"Yes." Dou Lide slammed the case from behind. "Those who are transporting big wood and changing defenses, wouldn't it be just right to put them together quickly? I wonder how the two groups collided! What a coincidence... and Qu Tuda!"

Everyone also reacted.

But Chen Bin's heart moved slightly, but he immediately realized that the Deposed Dragon Gang must have a capable spy on the opposite side.

"So..." Zhang Xing also quickly woke up. "What Chief Chen means is that this is a fighter plane?!"

"Yes, this is a fighter plane." Chen Bin immediately explained. In fact, this was the real trump card that he decided to betray, a trump card used to change the position of the big boss. He just didn't expect that the other party would be so knowledgeable. . Please calculate the time for Zhang Longtou and everyone... The 20,000 people left the army camp at noon yesterday. Up to now, it took one day and night plus half a day, and then they circled our camp and headed for Douzigang. Walking over to Lujiao Pass, he is probably near Pingyuan City at this time, right? In fact, according to the military orders I assigned them, he

They were supposed to assemble in Pingyuan City at noon today... In other words, at this time, they were not in Pingyuan City, but camped on the east side of Pingyuan City on the road to Douzigang. "

"Yes." Zhang Xing thought for a moment and nodded immediately.

Among the leaders around, some nodded directly, some simply took out charcoal pencils and white paper to draw, and some even dipped their fingers in ginger soup and made calculations on the table to find the relative position.

"So, even if the other side finds out that I'm coming to surrender...I'm going to surrender to the light and immediately send a messenger over. From now on, within a day and night, they will definitely not be able to join forces again. Failure to join forces will naturally be an opportunity." Chen Bin continued to talk. Then we have to look at two conditions. One is whether they are in Pingyuan City or on the road east of Pingyuan City; the other is whether they immediately turn back and walk towards the Ma Mian River military camp after receiving the relevant information. Should we join together, continue to attack us, or should we stop where we are and don’t know what to do?”

After hearing this, many people were suddenly enlightened.

Zhang Xing also laughed: "Then where does Chief Chen think they are? How will they choose?"

"I personally think that, first of all, they should be closer to us on the road east of Pingyuan City." Chen Bin answered seriously. "Because the troops in the Hejian camp are still in good condition on this kind of march, there will be no problem in gathering at noon today. And considering that there are three people named Xue in the partial division this time, they are eager to march in front of Xue Changxiong. In order to show their abilities and win military honors, nine out of ten troops will be urged by them to set off quickly after gathering and come to Lujiao Pass on the other side of Douzigang; secondly, it is because the three Xue brothers are all present, especially Xue Wanbi This person is brave and reckless, but also extremely arrogant. Therefore, even if they get the message in time tomorrow, it is unlikely that they will retreat. Instead, they will continue to advance or confront Gao Zhan and Cao Shancheng. Most of them will be delayed. .”

"Then we can prepare in advance and send the army back to attack from Douzigang!" Shan Tonghai suddenly snapped when he heard this. "Yes or no?!"

"Yes." Chen Bin looked at the other person, his tone full of confidence. "As far as I know, after the landslide, the people in the camp were very resistant to attacking the camp, and leader Bai suddenly arrived with reinforcements and defeated the Youzhou army. You can use your superior strength to try to strike!"

Other leaders also talked a lot, but most of them expressed their approval, and a few people expressed concerns about the distribution of troops. They were all worried that once an attack was launched, Xue Changxiong from the opposite side would definitely attack with all his strength, and the camp would not be able to resist it. However, even the latter felt that if this special force took the initiative to attack from the side of Douzigang, it would definitely have to take the lead and resolve the battle in Douzigang, in order to prevent the opponent from being forced behind the army stronghold and confronting Xue Chang Xiong actually formed a pincer attack.

"No matter what, first send people to conduct reconnaissance between Pingyuan City and Lujiao Pass..." Wei Xuanding reminded seriously. "If they are really there, if they really come tomorrow, we will beat them."

Wu Jingfeng simply stood up: "I'll go there myself and I'll be back before the third watch!"

Zhang Xing, who had been silent for a long time, waved his hand to stop the other party, and instead looked at Chen Bin: "Chief Chen, I think the fighter plane has indeed arrived. If there are no accidents, the outcome may be decided tomorrow... Your achievements today are obvious to all, who can I will never forget it.”

Chen Bin quickly handed over his hand.

Immediately, Zhang Xing looked at Wu Jingfeng again: "Wu Dalang, I don't think we need to go reconnaissance."

Wu Jingfeng was puzzled for a moment, and the others were also surprised. Only Bai Yousi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly burst into laughter.

"Sanniang, do you think the same as me?" Zhang Xing looked at Bai Yousi and laughed. To tell you the truth, I actually still feel a little guilty. "

"I'm here with a sword to encourage you." Bai Yousi did not hesitate.

Others were still puzzled, but Chen Bin, who had thought too much about this matter, suddenly felt excited. Then he stood up in shock and looked at the two of them: "The Xian couple are so bold!"

Zhang Xing calmly stood up, pushed the other party back to his seat, and at the same time said sincerely: "No matter what, this is all the credit of Chief Chen."

After saying this, Zhang Xing didn't sit back. Instead, he turned around to look at the leaders, big and small, and then continued as usual, no matter how scared and moved he was.

Shake, but there is no pause in action, no hesitation in posture:

"Everyone, I actually have a safer and more adventurous idea! That is, we don't have to rely on luck to find the partial division! We don't take the risk of dividing our troops! We can only abandon the camp and city early tomorrow morning, and gather all the combat power of the entire army. Raise the entire army to fight Xue Changxiong in front of you!"

The whole camp was completely silent, and Zhang Xing asked, "What do you think?"

The people around him were still silent for a moment.

After a while, only Shan Tonghai mustered up the courage and said with all his strength, "That's the Grandmaster!"

"The one I'm beating is the Grandmaster!" Zhang Xing responded proudly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire camp exploded.

"I want to kill him with my own hands!" Almost at the same time, Xue Changxiong finally forced himself to believe the possible reality after gathering information from all parties, including the news that the Youzhou Army's defeated troops saw Wang Fubei's troops going south alone. Then, with his eyes full of red, he pulled out a straight knife and beheaded the deputy lieutenant in front of him with just one blow.

The heads that had been shot that morning were all flying.

But after the murder, General Xue, who had cultivated himself as a master, fell back into his seat in panic amid the panic of the entire camp, feeling paralyzed for a moment.

Half an hour later, Qian Tang, the governor of Guanggan County, who had watched a big show, returned to the camp and immediately found the "spy" Lu Changheng. After a brief discussion, the two changed their minds without hesitation.

Pretending to run away, he came directly to Tushan.

PS: Thank you Mr. Shengyijun for another alliance, I am grateful.

Can't stop.
