"ha!"
Xu Yuanlang's ax technique was messed up. Lin Chong saw the right opportunity and stabbed Xu Yuanlang's heart like a poisonous snake with the snake spear in his hand.
"ah!"
There was a scream, and bits of cold light came out of the chest. Xu Yuanlang's eyes widened as boundless darkness surrounded his consciousness.
"Ding dong, it was detected that Lin Chong array killed Xu Yuanlang, the host received 9 soul points, and the current soul points increased to 80."
Lin Chong knocked Xu Yuanlang off his horse, stepped forward and took Xu Yuanlang's head, shouting loudly: "The traitor Xu Yuanlang has been beheaded, do you still have to resist?"
After hearing Lin Chong's cry and seeing Xu Yuanlang's head in Lin Chong's hand, the morale of Xu Yuanlang's troops collapsed. Except for a few diehards, the rest of the soldiers put down their weapons and surrendered.

On the third day after Dou Jiande's army arrived in Xingyang County, Zhu Wen and others who had escaped from Jinyong City also arrived in Xingyang. When Dou Jiande heard that Li Mi had been captured, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Li Mi would definitely die if he fell into the hands of the Sui army. So he would not have to bear the reputation of treachery when he captured the Central Plains. He could also take advantage of the situation and recruit a group of powerful generals under his command.
In order to subdue the generals of Wagang, Dou Jiande made a full gesture and personally led the generals ten miles out of the city to greet them.
Zhu Wen was also a tycoon, and he quickly saw through his intentions. But he also knew that now he only had the option of surrendering to Dou Jiande.
When the news of Li Mi's death came, Zhu Wen no longer hesitated and immediately expressed his allegiance to Dou Jiande. Others Pang Shigu, Wu Tianxi, Wang Zuo, etc. were also persuaded by Zhu Wen and submitted to Dou Jiande.
After conquering many fierce generals, Dou Jiande was naturally overjoyed and immediately named Zhu Wen the King of Huaiyang County, and the others Wu Tianxi, Pang Shigu and others were also named generals.
Privately, Zhu Wen's son Zhu Youwen secretly asked Zhu Wen: "Father, Dou Jiande has made it clear that he wants to annex us. Why does father still want to join him?"
Zhu Wen smiled gloomily and said: "Although Dou Jiande calls himself the King of Xia, his system in Daxia is very loose, and generals can have their own armies and have a high level of autonomy. In order to submit to his father, in addition to respectfully calling him "King" , in essence, nothing has changed. The army is still in my own hands, and Pang Shigu and Wu Tianxi are still generals under my father. What's more, if we want to defeat the Sui army this time, we must rely on Dou Jiande's strength .”
Zhu Youwen suddenly realized it, raised his hands and said, "My father is still wise, and I admire him!"
. . . . . . . . . .
Four days after Zhu Wen arrived at Xingyang County, Meng Jiigong and Gao Tanshengye led their troops to Xingyang County one after another. At this time, Dou Jiande already regarded himself as the master of Xingyang, and immediately held a banquet as the host to entertain Meng Jiigong and Gao Tansheng.
In the Xingyang County Sheriff's Mansion, the aroma of wine and meat overflowed. Dou Jiande sat at the top of the table, shook the wine glass in his hand, and said to Meng Jiigong and Gao Tansheng: "The two worthy brothers have worked tirelessly and traveled thousands of miles to I am very happy to come to Xingyang to help out. I believe that with your help, we will definitely defeat the Sui army this time."
Meng Jiigong also picked up the wine glass and said: "The reputation of King Xia for his benevolence and righteousness spread far and wide. We are willing to obey King Xia's orders. I believe that under King Xia's command, we will be able to defeat Yang Gao'er."
Zhu Wen also picked up the wine glass, but his eyes were not on Meng Jiong or Gao Tansheng, but on Meng Jiong's wife Ma Saifei, who was sitting next to Meng Jiong.
Zhu Wen was a lustful man, and even his daughter-in-law could not escape his clutches in history. Now that he saw the beautiful Ma Saifei, he narrowed his eyes to a slit and stared at Ma Saifei lustfully.
Ma Saifei was as attentive as a hair, and it didn't take him long to notice the lustful look on Zhu Wen's face. However, Zhu Wen was now considered a general under Dou Jiande. Ma Saifei couldn't help but fall out on the spot, so he pinched Meng Jiong's arm carefully and winked at Zhu Wen.
When Meng Jiong was reminded by Ma Saifei, he also noticed Zhu Wen with a squinting face, and couldn't help but feel angry. However, he was also wary of Zhu Wen's strength, so he picked up the wine glass and walked up to Zhu Wen to block his view. He said with a smile: "General Zhu, I'd like to toast you."
Zhu Wen was suddenly blocked from view and felt unhappy. When he looked up and saw that it was Meng Jiong, he was immediately embarrassed. He hurriedly raised his glass, forced a smile, and clinked glasses with Meng Jiong.
"General Meng, I remember that General Xu Yuanlang is closer to Xingyang. Why did he arrive later than the two of you?"
In order to resolve the embarrassment just now, Zhu Wen took up another glass of wine and toasted it to Meng Jiong and his wife after a while.
Although Meng Jiong was dissatisfied with Zhu Wen's behavior just now, out of respect for Dou Jiande, who was sitting in the first place, he drank the wine glass in front of him in one gulp, and then said with an unhappy face: "Xu Yuanlang, this guy has always been procrastinating in doing things. If you procrastinate, look back and forth, and do things timidly, I won’t be surprised no matter how late you arrive.”
Ling Jing said slightly worriedly: "Did Xu Yuanlang encounter an ambush by the Sui army and his entire army was wiped out? Otherwise, there is no news at all!"
"Impossible!" Meng Jiigong shook his head decisively, "Although Xu Yuanlang's troops have low combat effectiveness, they still have more than 20,000 people. It is not easy for the Sui army to eat him in one bite. Yang Gao is a little boy who is still young. Where did you get such courage?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Wen immediately waved his hand and said: "General Meng, please don't underestimate Yang Gao's son. Although this son is young, his character is very comparable to others, and the Sui army is powerful. Otherwise, our Wagang army would not be defeated like this." situation."
Meng Jiigong sneered and said disdainfully: "General Zhu, the reason why your Wagang Army is in this situation. In my opinion, it is because the leading generals are all focused on looking for flowers and willows. All of us men in Qilu land Those who are brave and good at fighting are not you, the Wagang Army."
When Zhu Wen heard this, he immediately flew into a rage. He slapped the table and stood up: "Meng Jiong, what do you mean, do you think the swords of my brothers in Wagang are not sharp enough?"
Meng Jiong also pushed forward the case and sneered: "Are I, the descendants of Qilu, afraid of you, a lustful evil spirit?"
"General Meng Jiigong, General Zhu Wen, we are all allies now, how can we kill each other?"
Dou Jiande, who was sitting at the top, looked gloomy and shouted loudly.
Meng Jiong and Zhu Wen heard the dissatisfaction in Dou Jiande's tone, and immediately stopped doing it, cupped their hands and said: "King Xia, calm down, we will be convicted!"
Seeing the two people sitting down, the anger in Dou Jiande's heart subsided slightly. He raised his glass and glanced at Ling Jing and Zhu Wen, and then said loudly: "How can we lower our morale when the war is imminent? Gu Ye believes that Xu Yuanlang is just marching. Slowly, I think you will be able to come to Xingyang to join us in a day or two."
"Report to the King of Xia. Emperor Yang Gao of the Sui Dynasty personally led an army of 200,000 to Xingyang. Now he is calling for battle outside the city. There is a head hanging under the flagpole of the front army. It should be that of Qingzhou powerful Xu Yuanlang. "
