Ke Zhennan led the troops to flee back to Chengyang County in a panic, and after returning to the city, he counted the soldiers and horses, and the huge losses made him heartbroken and angry.

He understood that he had been calculated by Shen Ning, and the other party had taken advantage of his shortcomings of revenge, and if he hadn't pursued it, there would not have been such a big casualty.

This made him hate Shen Ning even more, but then he could only stick to Chengyang County and recruit troops to replenish the troops.

And Shen Ning continued to camp and set up camp without the slightest intention of attacking the city.

And this time, it was another five or six days.

Ke Zhennan was drinking sullen wine in the house, he has been very aggrieved in the past few days, he has been fighting on the battlefield for so many years, and now he has been beaten and fled by a kid who has just entered the battlefield, but I can imagine the indignation in my heart. He had already begun to recruit troops, and as long as he recruited enough soldiers and horses, he would immediately go out of the city and destroy Shen Ning.

With experience this time, I definitely won't be fooled!

And sulking in the heart is easy to do bad things, naturally to vent, and the best way for men to vent is in women.

Hearing that the new Oiran of the Moon Tower was beautiful and moving, and the color was vibrant, Ke Zhennan decided to vent.

At this time, Zhu Hongying was cursing Shen Ning: "Damn Shen Ning, I've been pretending to be a woman in the dust for so long, Ke Zhennan didn't come at all, and I have to wait for a long time!" Fortunately, this shop is an industry of Yin and Yang Dao, and if you change to other houses, even if you don't sell your art, you have to go out to pick up customers! ”

Just as she was complaining, the old bustard hurriedly dared to come and whispered a few words in her ear.

Zhu Hongying was overjoyed and said, "Really here?" ”

The old bustard nodded solemnly.

Zhu Hongying immediately asked her to go down to make arrangements, and a moment later, the old bustard led a middle-aged man into the house.

"General Ke, this is the Red Girl!" The old bustard sneered, and then said to Zhu Hongying: "Hong'er, this is the patron saint of our Chengyang County, General Ke!" You have to be hospitable, and you must not neglect it. ”

Zhu Hongying pretended to be shy and blushed slightly.

Ke Zhennan's eyes have been straightened, I heard that it is a beauty, but now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I know that the rumors are true!

"Stand down!" Ke Zhennan was a little impatient, and hurriedly waved his hand and said.

The bustard retreated, and the guards who followed him stood guard in front of the door.

There were only two people left in the house, and Zhu Hongying bowed and said respectfully: "The general is above, please accept the slave family!" ”

Ke Zhennan smiled and said: "No courtesy, General Ben will indeed be on it later!" ”

At this moment, the sense of grievance of defeat disappeared without a trace.

Zhu Hongying was disgusted, and decided that she would never listen to Shen Ning's instigation in the future, and she would not do this kind of thing if she was killed.

"General, please take a seat, the slave family will toast you!" Zhu Hongying said softly.

Ke Zhennan nodded, looking at the wine brought by the beauty, but he said, "You will drink this cup first!" ”

Zhu Hongying did not hesitate, raised her head and drank the wine in the cup, her white neck as white as ivory. Then, he poured another glass and gave it to Ke Zhennan.

Ke Zhennan took the wine glass and touched Zhu Hongying's hand by the way, which is soft and boneless today.

Next, there will be wind and snow.

Thinking of this, Ke Zhennan raised his head and drank the wine.

Who knows, Ke Zhennan, who had just drunk the wine, changed his face drastically, covered his throat with his hands, and his face was hideous, and after a while, he lay on the table and died of poison.

Zhu Hongying got up and washed her hands, looked at the wine jug, and sneered: "It's cautious, I'm afraid that the wine is poisonous." It's a pity, under the yin and yang pot of my yin and yang dao, it's not obedient to be tricked? ”

The wine pot is called the Yin and Yang Pot, there is a mechanism in the guard, it can hold two kinds of wine, one is poisonous wine, the other is non-poisonous wine, twist the lid, you can switch the poured wine.

From the moment Ke Zhennan walked into the room, he was doomed to his life.

Subsequently, Zhu Hongying dragged Ke Zhennan's body behind the screen, and she changed her long skirt and dressed up in men's clothes, and jumped down from the back window and escaped from Mingyue Tower.

By the time the guards noticed something was wrong, it was too late, and the killer couldn't be found.

Then, the news of Ke Zhennan's murder spread throughout Chengyang County, and for a while the people were panicked and the army's morale was disturbed.

Shen Ning saw Zhu Hongying returning, and asked in surprise, "Did you succeed?" ”

Zhu Hongying glared at him and said, "Don't look for me for this kind of thing in the future!" Hmph..."

Shen Ning ignored her anger and laughed instead.

"General, Ke Zhennan is dead, the morale of the army in the city will inevitably fluctuate, and the people will be panicked, should you attack the city now?" The military lord Shen Zhaoyuan hurriedly asked.

Shen Ning asked with a smile: "The city of Chengyang County is strong, and we have not prepared siege equipment, how to attack the city?" Although Ke Zhennan is dead, the defenders in the city are still there, so attacking the city is the next strategy. ”

"Then how to take Chengyang County?" Shen Zhaoyuan couldn't help but ask.

Shen Ning looked at the others.

Zhang Liao and Li Xiaojie glanced at each other, Li Xiaojie said: "The art of war is cloudy, the siege is the bottom, the heart is the top, since Ke Zhennan is dead, then we will come to the city and trap them in the city, after a long time, they will open the city to beg for mercy." General, father, is my solution feasible? ”

Li Ru glared at his son and snorted: "Our forces are limited, and we still have some combat power when we twist together, and we can't surround Chengyang County at all, and we will even be broken one by one." ”

Li Xiaojie scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

Shen Ning looked at Zhang Liao, and Zhang Liao also shook his head, saying that there was no good way.

In general, Zhang Liao, Li Xiaojie and Shen Zhaoyuan are killers, suitable for killing enemies on the battlefield, not talented generals, and are not good at strategizing.

However, there was still one person in the tent at this time, and that was Huo Tianxing.

After returning from the imperial capital, this person followed Shen Ning, except for some confidential and important things to hide from him, other things were not hidden from him, since it was the person arranged by the emperor, Shen Ning naturally wanted him to see what he should see. And during this period of getting along, Shen Ning found that this person has great perseverance, even if he is not good at martial arts, but his perseverance is amazing.

"Huo Tianxing, what do you think we should do next?" Shen Ning asked.

Huo Tianxing thought about it seriously and felt that the possibility of taking Chengyang County was very small, after all, the troops were there, so the goal of his own general was definitely not Chengyang County.

If it wasn't Chengyang County, who would it be?

Thinking of Shen Ning and Li Ru's resourcefulness again, he suddenly realized a possibility by making three steps to do one step.

"The general's target is the reinforcements sent by Qingzhou?" Huo Tianxing said.

Shen Ning and Li Ru glanced at each other, and both of them laughed at the same time.

Seeing the smiles of the two, Zhang Liao, Li Xiaojie and others knew that Huo Tianxing had guessed correctly.

Zhang Liao was pleasantly surprised: "Yes, how did I forget about this!" Ke Zhennan lost his troops and lost his generals, and he must have sent the news back to Qingzhou, coupled with Ke Zhennan's death, Sima Jian, the king of Qi, had a grudge against the general, and he would inevitably send troops to help in order to protect Chengyang County's foolproof and revenge. And we pretended to be stationed here, but in fact we went around to the north of Chengyang County, set up an ambush on the official road through which Qingzhou reinforcements must pass, and destroyed the Qingzhou reinforcements. ”

"What a plan!" Li Xiaojie's eyes also lit up.

Shen Ning is here to seize Chengyang County, so everyone's eyes are on Chengyang County, which is dark under the lights. From the beginning, Shen Ning and Li Ru didn't think about taking Chengyang County.

Put a long line to catch big fish, and sooner or later Chengyang County will fall into your hands, so why not use it to attract big fish.

"I have already sent scouts to keep an eye on Qingzhou City, and once Sima Jian sends troops to help, it will be the beginning of our ambush. Wait for the order! Shen Ning shouted.

Zhang Liao, Shen Zhaoyuan, and Li Xiaojie immediately clenched their fists.

"This ambush of Qingzhou reinforcements, Zhang Liao and Shen Zhaoyuan are in charge, you two lead 8,000 troops, while Li Xiaojie stays in the barracks, and arranges for the soldiers to continue to disguise the illusion that the whole army is in the camp to confuse the enemy scouts." Shen Ning commanded.

The three of them immediately received their orders.

Next, it's a matter of waiting.

And as the news of Ke Zhennan's assassination was transmitted back to Qingzhou City through the Eagle Daily, after being learned by Sima Jian, Sima Jian was so angry that he almost suffered a cerebral congestion.

Three of his five tiger generals actually died in the hands of Shen Ning, how could he endure it?

"Come on, come on, quickly gather five thousand elites, and then let Yao Zi come to see this king!" Sima Jian roared.

Yao Ziduan is his son-in-law, and he is highly valued, and the county has been mainly producing recently, so Yao Ziduan stayed in Qingzhou City and did not go to the front line. And Ke Zhennan's death made the angry Sima Jian immediately dispatch Yao Ziduan to Chengyang County.

After Yao Ziduan met Sima Jian, he led his troops out of the city, quickly assembled a large army and set off.

In ancient times, transportation was not convenient, and the speed of marching was limited.

After Shen Ning received the news from Qingzhou City, it was already a few days later, and when he learned that it was Yao Ziduan who led the troops, Shen Ning immediately smiled.

At the beginning, Sima Yue gave Li Yuanxiao an order to intercept and kill Yao Ziduan at the border of Xuzhou, and at that time, Shen Ning spared his life for the sake of design, but he didn't expect to go around and around, it seems that this person has to die in his own hands.

Now that we know the strength and time of Yao Ziduan's reinforcements, we can deduce their location based on their marching speed. Then send scouts to wait in advance to ensure their true location, and then choose a suitable place for ambush.

When the opportunity came, Zhang Liao and Shen Zhaoyuan took advantage of the moonlight to lead the troops out of the barracks.

During this time, Shen Ning stationed here without any action, which had already made Chengyang County take it lightly, so Zhang Liao and Shen Zhaoyuan led the troops to leave without being noticed by the other party's scouts.

Zhang Liao and Shen Zhaoyuan led their troops to the west, then detoured to the north, and walked in the wilderness, although the speed was slower, but the concealment was guaranteed.

Four days later, they came to the place where they were ambushed.

It is only seventy or eighty miles away from Chengyang County, and it is the only way for Qingzhou soldiers and horses to come to help, and it is also an excellent ambush place.

The left and right sides are mountains and forests, and there is only one north-south passage, which is suitable for ambush here.

The next thing is to wait quietly.

At noon on the third day, 5,000 soldiers and horses led by Yao Ziduan appeared, and after entering the ambush circle, they found that the road in front of them was full of trees, blocking the way.

Yao Ziduan was startled, and suddenly realized that something big was not good.

Shen Zhaoyuan led people to hide in the mountains and forests on both sides, and at this time, he saw the opportunity and immediately released arrows.

Yao Ziduan's expression changed drastically, and he didn't expect the enemy army to ambush here early.

And Zhang Liao killed from the rear of Yao Ziduan's soldiers and horses, and directly besieged the Qingzhou soldiers and horses.

There are trees blocking the way in front of you, a rain of arrows swarming on both sides, and enemy troops behind you, completely wrapped in dumplings.

"Defend and defend! Counterattack! ”

Yao Ziduan shouted loudly and ordered a counterattack, but unfortunately they fell into the ambush circle and had become a turtle in an urn.
