On August 27, the 14th year of Jingxi, Yuan Zhen led a team of men and horses to Xunyang, and two hours ago, Ling Heng had already led 30,000 soldiers and horses to Xunyang.

A few hours later, Ling Heng had already arrived in front of the Xunyang City Gate, he saw that the soldiers on the city wall were as usual, there was no preparation for war, the Xunyang City Gate had also been opened, and in the face of Yuan's soldiers approaching the city, the soldiers in the city were calm.

Seeing this, Ling Heng took the lead in arranging for soldiers to be stationed outside the city, and he himself led a small army to slowly approach the city gate.

After a while, he saw a man in white come out of the gate of the city, and the man stood at the gate, as if waiting for him.

Ling Heng dismounted and walked into him, the man in white bowed down, and said loudly: "General Ling has come from afar, and he is polite here!" ”

Ling Heng saw that he had an elegant bearing, and knew that he should be a civil official, so he raised his eyebrows and replied: "Your Excellency is polite, dare to ask Your Excellency?" ”

"In the lower Shangguan Xian, Xi is offering wine to the East Pavilion of the Jiangzhou General's Mansion, and General Gao Chi will let him wait here!" Shangguan Xianshan is polite, gentle and elegant.

"General Yuan will go to Xunyang City immediately, I don't know what General Gao's plans are?" Ling Heng saw that he was polite and thoughtful, and he didn't want to be too blunt and direct.

When Shangguan Xian heard this, his brows were a little worried, and he said: "General Gao is ready to go out of the city to meet General Yuan, but there may be some turmoil in the city, and I hope that General Yuan can calm the people's hearts." ”

"Everyone is the people of Dahuan, and it is natural that Qiu does not commit any crimes, but...."There was a slight chuckle on the corner of his mouth, "Why did General Gao and your lord turn their backs on the imperial court?" ”

Shangguan Xian's face tightened, shook his head, and sighed: "It's not a secret, General Gao's Jiangzhou Assassin History can't be done for a long time, although General Gao has made great achievements in Jiangzhou, but Yuzhang Taishou, the uncle of the Eighth Prince, Yan Shiqian, is eyeing the south, and sooner or later he will become the official Jiangzhou Assassin History as his imperial family." ”

Ling Heng nodded, what Shangguan Xian said was not wrong at all, the reason why the imperial court ordered Gao Chi to temporarily lead the Jiangzhou Assassin History was probably because of the suddenness of the incident, and he wanted to let a familiar hand stabilize Jiangzhou in time, "Don't worry!" With General Yuan here, General Gao's Jiangzhou assassination history is stable! Ling Heng comforted.

"In this way, thank you General Yuan, and thank you General Ling for your kind words!" Shangguan Xian bowed down again and said.

The two of them didn't say anything more, and Shangguan Xian knew Ling Heng's intentions, so he took the initiative to replace the city gate guards.

In less than two moments, Yuan Zhen led Yuan's descendant army and several generals to the gate of Xunyang City.

Gao Chi also took Shangguan Xian to wait at the door. When he saw that Yuan Zhen's soldiers and horses had arrived, he immediately dismounted and walked towards Yuan Zhen.

Yuan Zhen saw that Gao Chi was also a state assassin, and it was not good not to give face, so he also got off the horse.

Gao Chi wore a moon-white shirt, like a scribe, he straightened his sleeves, and arched his hand and said: "General Yuan has been tired all the way, Gao has never greeted him from afar, and I hope the general will forgive me!" ”

Yuan Zhen was dressed in armor, and he also bowed his hand slightly, and his tone was a little cold, "Where, General Gao is elegant-minded and abandons darkness and turns to light, which is a wise move." ”

Gao Chi didn't care about his cold arrogance at all, smiled and nodded, "General, please!" ”

After that, Gao Chi led Yuan Zhen and his personal soldiers into Xunyang City.

Yuan Zhen rode a horse and walked on the street, looking at the silence in the city, not seeing the people, only occasionally seeing an old and weak figure, he was a little suspicious in his heart, and asked: "General Gao, where are the people in the city?" ”

Gao Chi smiled slightly bitterly, "General, when I learned that the general's soldiers came south, many people have already left the city, and some of them are hiding in their respective houses and dare not go out. ”

Yuan Zhen laughed when he heard this, "General Gao, you let people tell the people that General Ben will not commit any crimes!" ”

Gao Chi's face was happy, and he said yes again and again, so he ordered his subordinates to handle it quickly.

Yuan Zhen and Gao Chi and their entourage drove for about half an hour, and then arrived at the gate of Jiangzhou General's Mansion.

Yuan Zhen and Gao Chi both stood in front of the door, Yuan Zhen looked inside, signaled his soldiers to investigate first, and then a guard quickly entered the mansion and occupied all the key points in the mansion. The people in the Gao Chi Mansion were also gathered in a courtyard and waited to be dealt with.

Gao Chi followed Yuan Zhen into the palace to discuss matters, Yuan Zhen sat in the hall, and then Gao Chi took the handsome seal of the Jiangzhou Thorn History from Shangguan Xian, landed on one knee, and said loudly: "General, this is the order seal of the Jiangzhou Thorn History, and from then on, Gao Chi is the general's order!" ”

"Haha......haha!" Yuan Zhen's rough laughter came from the hall, he ordered the deputy general to take over the handsome seal from Gao Chi's hand, he looked down at the handsome Ling in his hand for a long time, Jiangzhou Thorn History has always been the place that the Yuan brothers want to get the most, and now they can finally succeed, he is very happy in his heart, and then he got up and went down the hall and helped Gao Chi up with his own hands, "General Gao, please get up." ”

"From now on, General Gao will be the great hero of my Yuan family, you and I will be prosperous, rich and noble!" He looked at Gao Chi and said eagerly, he hesitated for a long time when he received Gao Chi's secret letter that day, but now seeing him so frank, he trusts him quite a lot in his heart.

"Gao Chi, thank you, General!" Gao Chi bowed and said.

"General Gao, where is Jiangzhou's civil register?" Yuan Zhen is not ambiguous, he wants not only military power, but also the civil power of Jiangzhou.

Gao Chi's face was embarrassed, and it was a little difficult to speak, Yuan Zhen had already thought in his heart when he saw this, "General Gao might as well say it directly." ”

"It's all in the hands of Teng Yuan, Jiangzhou, Teng Yuan since the death of General Yin, he and I don't get very compatible, I repeatedly want to get the civil register from him with the respect of the assassin history, but he would rather die than give in, he also gathered a lot of stubborn soldiers around him, after all, he has also worked for General Yin Hong, it is not easy to force each other." Gao Chi's tone was full of helplessness.

When Yuan Zhen heard this, he had a cold face, and said to a general: "You take someone to another mansion and lock up that Tengyuan!" ”

"Yes!" The lieutenant didn't say a word, and hurried out of the house.

Later, Gao Chi arranged a banquet to welcome Yuan Zhen into the city.

Ling Heng, who was outside the garrison city, and Tai Chu, who was stationed in Banzhou, had already received the news that Yuan Zhen was sitting in Yang City, and they were also relieved to learn that Yuan Zhen had obtained the Jiangzhou Shuai Seal.

After half a month of long-distance crawling and the rapid speed of the entire Yuan army, the army was already in a state of exhaustion, and after learning that General Yuan had settled in Xunyang City, the sense of precaution of the generals and soldiers was much lower.

After Ling Heng arranged for his troops to be stationed at the city gate, he returned to the main force outside the city to prepare for rest.

The night was getting darker, and just as everyone was already resting, they knew that danger was approaching step by step.

In Banzhou City, Tai Chu was consulting books.

At this time, a guard walked in and said anxiously: "My lord, our military rations are no longer enough, and we can only last tomorrow's lunch." ”

Tai Chu was stunned for a moment, a little incredulous, he immediately put down the book, and said in surprise: "Didn't Li Li already arrange the military rations?" ”

"I just went to look for Master Li, but I haven't seen anyone from him." The guard replied, I don't know why this Li Li went.

Tai Chu was startled, and stood up, a little panicked in his heart, "Go, you go to the granary of Banzhou with me." ”

With that, Tai Chu took a few guards and soldiers on horseback and quickly went to the granary in Banzhou.

Several people quickly rushed to the granary in the south of Banzhou City, Tai Chu jumped off his horse, and immediately asked the soldiers to open the granary, several guards held torches and followed Tai Chu into the granary, as soon as Tai Chu walked in, he saw a tall round granary.

He instructed the guards to open the granary, and then he saw that the silo was full of straw, and the guards used their spears to pull away the straw, but they found no grain at all.

The guards then opened several more granaries, but saw the same thing.

Tai Chu's heart was already half cold at this moment, and he knew that he was too careless, and he had fallen for Li Li's plan.

Just as he was thinking about how to act, a guard ran in from outside and said hurriedly: "My lord, it's not good, a large number of soldiers and horses have been found outside the city, and now Banzhou City has been surrounded!" ”

Tai Chu's heartbeat missed half a beat when he heard this, he closed his eyes, shook his head and smiled bitterly, this is the situation in Banzhou City, and it can be imagined in Xunyang City.
