"Dong dong dong... The first update at Xu hour! The first update at Xu hour!"
The sound of drums was heard in the distance. The battle under Nanzheng City had already ended hastily, and the shouts of killing gradually fell silent.
A light night mist filled the air and flowed silently in all directions. The tall pines and cypresses in the distance turned into a black mass, and the strange calls of night birds came and went, becoming more and more terrifying in the night...
"That's enough! This is an important place for military camps. This is a big tent meeting. It's not a place where you can talk and talk while buying food in the city. Anyone who talks about something other than war will get out of here!" Zhang Gui couldn't bear it anymore. He knocked hard on the wooden case and gave the generals a stern warning.
"No!" When the generals saw that Zhang Gui was angry, they all returned to their original positions without saying anything more.
Forced by the current situation, even Xu Song and Lu Cunxu had to temporarily suppress their displeasure and give Zhang Gui some face.
"Whether Sun Yi's words are credible or not can be put aside for the moment. First, let's talk about how you laid siege to Nanzheng in the past two days. Do you have a good idea of the Qin army's combat power? Do you have any methods to break the city?"
"Report!"
Outside the big tent, there was suddenly a brief and rapid sound of footsteps. When the cold wind rushed into the tent, a sergeant entered on foot with an order.
Zhang Gui and other generals followed the call and saw a scout who was ordered to inquire about the reality of Yangping Pass and report inside.
"What's the matter?" Seeing the scout's face covered with rain and looking panicked, Zhang Gui unconsciously concentrated his attention.
The scout raised his hands and reported: "Return to General, Nanzheng City, the four gates of Nanzheng City are wide open, and the Qin army has set up a white flag..."
The night falls deep, and when the thick fog on the vast land gradually dissipates, the floating clouds in the sky become thinner and thinner.
A crescent moon poked its head out, like a shining solitary lamp, spreading the clear light all over the ground. The successive tents of the Jin army camp were like stars surrounding Nanzheng City.
When the Jin army's forward troops arrived at Nanzheng City, Mao Xing and his generals had been waiting for them for a long time, disarming their armor and laying down their swords.
"The guilty general Mao Xing did not know the heights of heaven and earth, offended the power of heaven, and offended Master Wang. He really deserves death!"
"Now Mao Xing feels deeply that he has sinned deeply, so he dedicated the city of Nanzheng to the general. I hope the general will accept it and treat the soldiers and civilians in our city well! If this can be done, Mao Xing's wish in this life will be enough!" Mao Xing held the seal in his hand and saw that he was one step ahead of the leading Jin general. Zhang Gui immediately knelt down to beg for surrender and offered a surrender form.
When Zhang Gui saw Mao Xing's upper body exposed, his attitude was extremely sincere and did not seem to be a conspiracy. He immediately believed half of the Qin army's surrender. He dismounted and took off his black robe from his shoulders and stepped forward to put it on Mao Xing.
"Why is the old general like this? Since the old general has abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side, we will work together under the general from now on. We are all part of the Knight Cavalry and are a family. I hope the old general will not mind those who were unhappy in the past!"
"Thank you, General!"
Zhang Gui's words made Mao Xing burst into tears. Zhang Gui was not suspicious, but thought that Mao Xing was too excited. On the contrary, Xu Song, the captain of the Youying School on the side, was puzzled.
The Qin army had resisted tenaciously the day before, preferring death to surrender, and seemed to want to live or die with Nanzheng City. Why did Mao Xing suddenly leave the city and surrender?
Not only Xu Song, but also the rear guard battalion captain Lu Min also felt that this matter was too strange and extraordinary!
As for the other three captains of the other battalions, they were not as worried as Xu and Lu. Like Zhang Gui, they began to believe most of Mao Xing's surrender.
After all, Nanzheng City has been unable to be attacked for a long time, and now it is defeated without attack. Isn't it a great thing?
Mao Xing took the initiative to surrender, which saved a lot of trouble and saved the lives of the soldiers. He added an extra city for nothing, so why not do it?
Everyone had different thoughts, and in the blink of an eye, Mao Xing had welcomed Zhang Gui into Nanzheng City...
"Your Majesty, everything is going smoothly according to the plan. The generals of chariots and cavalry have ushered the Jin army into Nanzheng. It's up to us next!" Yang Ding, the deputy general of Yangping Pass, strode into Fu Tongcheng's bedroom. , his face was full of unconcealable joy.
"You all go out first."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Fu Tongcheng changed into his regular clothes with the help of the maid. He curled his lips and pulled Yang Ding to sit down with him: "I think that the track must have had higher ambitions at this time. He thought that General Mao was afraid of the might of the Xiaocai Army, so he had no choice but to surrender." he."
"That's natural. Xu Xiao's Knight Cavalry Army has become famous in the past two years. Who in the Jiangdong Central Plains doesn't know that the Knight Cavalry Army is invincible and unparalleled in the world?"
Yang Ding poured a cup of hot tea for Fu Tongcheng: "He thought we were like those cowardly people who were so frightened that they surrendered when they heard the name of the Knights! When we put the knife on his neck, When we cut off his neck from behind, I want to see if the people of the world still believe that the Knights are invincible in every battle and must not be our enemies!"
"Everything is subject to change, and our plans are not exhaustive. We must guard against subtle changes and eliminate all hidden dangers in advance, so that we can drive all the Jin troops from Nanzheng out of Hanzhong!" Fu Tongcheng is not afraid of the heat, grunting. Pour the hot tea down your throat, and for a moment the room is filled with hot air, like a fairyland.
Fu Tongcheng smacked his lips and looked straight at Yang Ding who was opposite: "Before the Jin army launches the most violent attack on Yangping Pass, we must first consolidate the city defense and repel the Jin army's attack."
"That's natural. I've been urging my brothers to raise the city wall these days. It's impossible for the Jin army to enter Yangping Pass without peeling off their skin." Yang Ding's face was filled with pride, as if Yangping Pass had been managed by him. as solid as golden soup.
"How is Sun Yi?"
"Huh?" Fu Tongcheng suddenly mentioned Sun Yi, which made Yang Ding a little stunned. He hurriedly asked: "Why does the king care so much about the details of the Jin army?"
Yang Yi lobbied to rebel against Yang Ding to no avail, so he was forced to stay in Yangping Pass by the latter. As for the so-called Yang Yi secret letter sent to the Jin army camp, it was just a forgery by Yang Ding by someone else. All this was to coordinate with what was to come. plan!
"Sun Yi was originally Zhang Gui's secret pawn, but now he has become our pawn. If you let him know about superstition, do you think he will work for Zhang Gui again?" Fu Tongcheng suddenly became young and old. Chen Rang Yang Ding was a little at a loss.
"You must know that since Zhang Gui has been entrusted with the important task of coming to persuade you to surrender, this Sun Yi has some trust in Zhang Gui's heart."
A flash of light flashed in Fu Tongcheng's eyes. He slowly walked towards Yang Ding, looking at Yang Ding whose eyes were dull. The latter stretched out his huge palm and touched it: "Let Sun Yi do things for us sincerely, Mao The grand plan planned by the rider will have a better chance of winning, do you understand?"
"General, I understand!" After Fu Tongcheng's repeated reminders, Yang Ding had to pay attention to Sun Yi again.
