A crescent moon teeters in the western sky, and the stars in the sky become brighter. The night under the stars was so blurry that one couldn't see people two or three steps away. The unknown bugs in the grass on the roadside became excited and screamed loudly.
Outside the county government office, the patrolling soldiers hid somewhere. There was no one around, it was quiet.
Luan Qingshan took the lead. Although one leg was rotten, it did not affect his speed. When I arrived at the back door of the county government office, I pushed lightly and the door opened with a sound. There was no one inside the door, it was as quiet as an ordinary farmhouse.
Entering the door, look around. Luan Qingshan said to Zhang Jun: "I have underestimated you. You have put in a lot of effort here to be able to drive away the county government guards. After this incident, I hope you won't be like this when you are around me."
Zhang Jun said: "The lieutenant is joking. Ding Jin's men only love money. As long as they are willing to spend money, this matter is not difficult to do."
As they talked, they entered the county government's back garden together. Wang Gan and Luan Qingshan's ten big men followed closely behind.
Wang Gan stepped forward and said to Zhang Jun and Luan Qingshan: "Ding Jin is also a hero, and he will not be easily taken away. I will go in front and explore the way for you. If there are guards, do not let them Make a noise.”
In the past two years, Zhang Jun has become very familiar with doing this kind of thing. No matter where the local tycoon or bandit leader comes in with seven or eight of his subordinates, the overall situation is basically decided. Most of the forces east of Xiangyang were eliminated by Zhang Jun using this method.
The king dares to go ahead and move forward lightly. In the dark night, I couldn't see clearly what was going on in front of me, so I relied on my ears to hear everything.
Walk through the back garden and arrive at the door to the front yard. I saw two torches planted next to the door, and a guard stood under each torch. The two stood there tired, leaning lazily against the doorframe.
Wang Gan signaled to Zhang Jun and Luan Qingshan behind him, and quietly walked to the door from the shadow of the flower tree nearby. Seeing that there were still two or three steps away from the two of them, he suddenly burst into flames. His hands were like lightning, waving violently to the left and right towards the two people.
Luan Qingshan didn't even notice that Wang dared to take action, but saw the water on the necks of the two guards and their bodies softened.
"So fast!" After living for so long, Luan Qingshan saw such fast skills for the first time and couldn't help but admire him. "Zhang Tongzhi, with such skill as Wang Gan, must be a general in the army!"
Zhang Jun looked at Luan Qingshan strangely and said nothing, just shook his head.
Luan Qingshan understood immediately. Such fast skills are actually of little use in a military formation. When the two armies meet, there is no room for you to show off. On the battlefield, Wang Gan was of little use. Zhang Jun's men, except Liu Jing, are Wang Gan and are of little use on the battlefield.
Gently placing the bodies of the two guards on the ground, Wang Gan stretched his head and looked into the door. He turned around and whispered: "There is no one in front of you. Be careful and follow me. Don't make any noise!"
After saying that, he entered the front yard first.
In the official hall, Ding Jin sat in the middle, with Jiang Yi next to him. Sitting below was Ma Xi on one side and Peng Tan on the other. There was a pot in the middle, and a sheep was boiling in the pot, which was steaming.
Take a swig of wine. Ding Jin said: "From now on, we will all be ministers in the State of Qi, and we will take care of everything. This new official is generous and willing to spend money on the people below. What a good life! It is better than what we are living now, living in the valley is really hard."
Jiang Yi said: "The captain is right. By the way, why don't we see the two leaders Shi Jian and Luan Qingshan tonight?"
Ding Jin waved his hand after hearing this: "Don't mention them, it will spoil our mood. These two people said that they were Song ministers, so why did they defect to Qi? They were unwilling to do so. It's really funny! Shi Jian followed me to many places, I don’t know how many people have committed the crime of beheading, so pretentious! Not to mention that Luan Qingshan. He was originally a general under Wang Xiaolie in the south. He disobeyed discipline and escaped from the army. What has he never done? I think these two people It’s just that I can’t help but feel ashamed for a while, but when I have a good life in the future, I will naturally figure it out.”
Jiang Yi said: "That's it. The Taiwei still understands the righteousness and thinks clearly."
Ding Jin nodded repeatedly: "The Sa family and this gang of sons have gone through so much in the past two years! Although the territory is smaller and the soldiers are fewer, they are still the heroes of the country! Among the leaders in the Central Plains, who wouldn't give me a little bit of support? !”
Jiang Yi said: "Tonight we are all people whom the Taiwei can trust, so I will reveal another piece of news. The Taiwei defected to Qi, and now in the Central Plains, the only ones who oppose Dajin are Zhai Xing of Yiyang and Wang Xiaolie of Xiangyang. Tell the truth. You tell me, the officials already have a way to deal with Zhai Xing. One of his generals took the initiative to contact us and was willing to take Zhai Xing's head and become a minister of Qi."
Ding Jin couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this. He asked: "Who is the general that your husband is talking about?"
"Don't say it, don't say it." Jiang Yi shook his head mysteriously. "It is enough for the Taiwei to know that Zhai Xingxiang's head will definitely be at risk in a few months or at most a year. At that time, the Taiwei's territory will be even larger."
Ding Jin was overjoyed when he heard this. Although he was confused, he didn't ask any more questions.
Around the two capitals at the core of the Central Plains region, the largest forces now include Liu Yu's Meng Bangxiong, Ding Jin who is about to surrender to Liu Yu, and then Zhai Xing and Wang Xiaolie. Although Zhai Xing has a small territory and few soldiers, with the Zhai Xing clan as its core, its combat effectiveness is quite strong. In addition, Yiyang is located in the mountains and is very difficult to deal with. Since the Jin people attacked Xijing during the Jingkang period, the Zhai Xing brothers have fought with the Jin people many times, winning and losing. The Jin people thought of many ways to deal with Zhai Xing, but none of them worked.
Baseball is easiest to break from the inside. I don’t know who Liu Yu is looking for around Zhai Xing and what role it will play.
In the room, Ding Jin and Jiang Yi were drinking and eating meat, and they were in high spirits. They didn't know that a group of people were coming outside to kill them.
Only these few people were drinking in the official hall tonight, which was arranged by the military officials. These officials hold extremely important positions, and they do this kind of thing without showing off. Ding Jin is afraid that even if he dies, he won't know who betrayed him.
When they arrived at the official hall, they saw five or six guards surrounding a fire. While drinking, they chatted randomly.
This is the norm in Ding Jinjun. Military discipline is loose, and everyone will buy wine to drink when they have some spare money. They had been living a life of licking blood with the tip of a knife. There was no tomorrow, so how could they care so much.
Wang Gan said goodbye to everyone and walked around the official hall in the shadows. He came back and said: "I've seen it. There are only a few guards in front of the fire around the official hall, and the rest are missing. Yi Ding looks like he is marching, so there should be no hidden sentries."
Luan Qingshan said: "How do people like Ding Jin know what a secret sentry is? But usually there is a team of guards here in the official hall, about thirty to fifty people. What happened today? There are only these six people."
Zhang Jun said: "Why bother with so many people? There are fewer guards, so it's a good time for us to attack! The three of us rushed into the official hall together, and the rest went to kill the guards! Remember, you must not be soft! It's best to take it by surprise and kill it with one blow! "
Luan Qingshan nodded in agreement. He ordered his men to deal with the guards in front of the fire together.
The guards followed the orders.
Wang Gan took the lead, followed by Zhang Jun and Luan Qingshan, who approached the official hall.
