Time flies quickly, and the deadline that Zhang Yan said will soon arrive.

But in the early morning, something unexpected happened. At two o'clock, equivalent to eight o'clock in the later generations, Wang Dang came to Sun Qing's mansion with twenty soldiers. Sun Qing thought that the other party, like himself, was preparing to prevent Zhang Yan from returning to Jizhou, so he asked his subordinates to let them in.

The two sat down in the living room, and Sun Qing ordered his subordinates to prepare a banquet and prepare to entertain Wang Dang. Who knew that the banquet had just been set up, and before the two of them began to drink the banquet, Wang Xiaoer, a personal soldier standing behind Wang Dang, suddenly pulled out the saber on his waist and slashed towards Sun Qing.

A guard who was next to him saw that Wang Xiaoer wanted to misbehave towards his master, so he hurriedly shouted, pulled out his saber, and prepared to step forward to stop it. As soon as he took a step, he felt a pain in his heart, and when he turned his head, it turned out that another guard had stabbed him from behind.

Although Sun Qing has not fought for several years since Zhang Yan was named the general of the Ping Yan Zhonglang, no matter what, he is considered a military general. Faced with the slashed saber, he hurriedly rolled on the spot, and Wang Xiaoer's knife fell short.

Sun rolled to the side, hoping that his men could come to the rescue, but found that several guards standing in the hall were actually killing each other, and half of them fell to the ground, and the rest stood behind Wang Dang.

"Someone, someone!" Sun Qing took a few steps back and shouted loudly. According to his idea, this is his mansion, and there are more than 200 soldiers in the mansion, as long as they hear the sound and rush over, they can chop Wang Dang and his men into pulp.

Who knew that when he shouted, Wang Dang sneered: "Sun Qing, at this moment, do you really think that someone will rush over to save you?" ”

Sun Qing saw that among the several guards standing behind Wang Dang, there was one of his henchmen, but he didn't expect him to betray him. He pointed at the guards with his hand and said, "I really didn't expect that Sun Mou asked himself if he usually treats you well, and you will betray me." Tell me, what benefits does the king give you? ”

But when Sun Qing's hand pointed at the guards, the guards who had just betrayed their master bowed their heads in shame. But when he heard Sun Qing say this, his former henchmen retorted: "The leader treats us well. But the younger ones also have wives and children to support, and if the Montenegrin Army returns to Jizhou, everyone can share the land, why do you oppose such a good thing? ”

Many times, people know how to do a thing, know how to say something, but because of the lack of a leader, in the end things are not done, and what should be said is not said. At this moment, seeing that Sun Qing's henchmen had taken the lead in attacking, they also said nonsense: "Jizhou Mu said to you, when the Montenegrin army returns to Jizhou, even if you are unwilling to stay in the army, you can keep 500 private soldiers for you, and another 10,000 acres of land will be allocated to you." And we, the guards, can also share ten acres of Yongye land that can be inherited from generation to generation. Such a good thing was actually rejected by you. ”

"Yes, if you don't give us a way to live, you don't want to live."

……

Faced with the duties of his subordinates, Sun Qing not only did not wake up, but continued to stubbornly say: "As long as I, Sun Someone, live, I will never let the Montenegrin Army return to Jizhou, and I can't watch the Montenegrin Army destroyed in the hands of Zhang Yan." ”

"Sun Qing!" Wang Dang opened his mouth and said: "You and I are sworn brothers, and we should have advanced and retreated together, but you tried your best to oppose Zhang Yan leading the Montenegrin army to return to Jizhou, and I can't watch you lead so many brothers to jump into the fire pit." Therefore, we can only kill our relatives with righteousness and take this risky step. ”

Sun Qing bent down and picked up a saber of a dead guard, pointed at Wang Dang with the tip of the knife and said, "The surname Wang, I have always regarded you as a brother, I didn't expect you to do such a thing of stabbing you in the back." Even if Sun dies, he will also prevent the surrender of the Montenegrin Army to Jizhou. After saying that, he rushed forward brandishing his saber and tried to kill Wang Dang with one sword.

Who knew that he was still four or five steps away from Wang Dang, and suddenly saw a sharp pain in his lower back, looked down, and found that he was surrounded by seven or eight people, some of them were his own guards, and some were Wang Dang's subordinates, but at this moment, the blades in their hands were pierced into their bodies.

Sun Qing spat out a mouthful of blood, glared angrily at Wang Dang, who was standing in front of him, and shouted through gritted teeth: "Wang Dang, if you dare to kill your sworn brother, sooner or later you will not end well." ”

Wang Dang turned around and said to Wang Xiaoer, who was standing aside with a knife: "Send him on the road, and then take his head to meet Leader Zhang!" ”

Wang Xiaoer agreed, and walked in front of Sun Qing. He waved his hand at the guards on the left and right, and the men drew their sabers in unison and took a step back, but they remained vigilant, pointing the tip of their knives at the crumbling Sun Qing.

When the saber was withdrawn, blood gushed out along with the wound. Sun Qing's strength seemed to be drained at once, and he knelt on one knee weakly, holding the saber in both hands and panting heavily. He watched as Wang Xiaoer walked to his side and raised the saber in his hand high......

Han Zhan took Guo Jia, Dian Wei, and Xiahou Lan brothers and sisters, under the protection of two hundred cavalry, to Zhang Yan's official residence. Upon learning of Han Zhan's arrival, Zhang Yan immediately sent his military advisor Hu Zhen out to greet him.

Hu Zhen came to the door and saw Han Zhan and Guo Jia chatting, so he hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "See Tinghou, I've seen Mr. Guo!" Hu is on the order of my lord to come to greet you, please come in! ”

When Han Zhan followed Hu Zhen inside, he asked casually, "Master Hu, I don't know what kind of reply Chief Zhang will give to Ben Hou today?" ”

Hu Zhen looked left and right, and saw that the soldiers patrolling and standing guard were some distance away from him, so he lowered his voice and said: "Please rest assured, according to Hu's temptation, my lord has made up his mind and is ready to return to Jizhou." But ......"

Seeing the embarrassment on Hu Zhen's face, Han Zhan hurriedly asked tentatively: "Master Hu, are you worried that Sun Qing and Wang Dang will make trouble from this?" ”

"Tinghou guessed well." Hu Zhen frowned and said: "Hu Mou was worried about this matter, so he made it clear to the lord, transferred eight thousand soldiers and horses from outside, and ambushed them nearby. Once Sun Qing and Wang Dang had any bad moves, these soldiers and horses rushed out unexpectedly and caught them off guard. ”

"Master Hu, please rest assured," Han Zhan said to Hu Zhen with a smile: "Whether Sun Qing will be unfavorable to Leader Zhang, Ben Hou does not know. But Wang Dang will never be in the same league with Sun Qing today. ”

Hearing Han Zhan say this, Hu Zhen's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly asked, "Tinghou, did you hear any news?" ”

"I haven't heard anything." Han Zhan naturally would not easily expose the agreement he reached with Wang Dang, but put on a serious appearance and said: "According to Ben Hou's observation, Wang Dang has long lost the ambition to fight for power and profit, and now he just wants to be a rich man. As long as we meet this request of his, he will naturally be on our side. ”

Coming to the main hall, Han Zhan saw that the leaders of Montenegro with a little bit of identity were all sitting in the lobby. After he stepped forward to greet Zhang Yan, he sat down at the bottom right. After taking his seat, he asked Zhang Yan with a sideways face: "General Zhang, today is the deadline we agreed upon. I don't know what kind of reply you plan to give Benhou? ”

"Please don't be impatient," Zhang Yan said unhurriedly: "Now there are still Sun Qing and Wang Dang who have not come, and when they arrive, Zhang will definitely give Han Fujun a satisfactory answer." ”

Seeing that Sun Qing and Wang Dang had not come for a long time, the leaders of those Montenegro couldn't help but feel a little anxious. They had long heard what Han Zhan said to Mrs. Zhang, and knew that as long as they returned to Jizhou, whether they continued to stay in the army or returned to the field, they would have no worries about food and clothing, so that most people were moved and ready to agree with Zhang Yan's decision. But there are also some leaders who decided to wait and see, if Zhang Yan can suppress Sun Qing and Wang Dang, they will naturally agree to return to Jizhou; But once they found out that Zhang Yan was helpless with the two, they naturally supported Sun Wang and the others. In order to know the final answer as soon as possible, everyone kept looking at the door, hoping that in the next second, Sun Wang and the others would appear at the door.

After waiting for two more incense sticks, a soldier finally came in to report: "Qi Qi Zhang Da Leader, Sun Qing and Wang Dang, the two leaders are here, and now they are outside the door." ”

The leaders, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they learned that Sun Wang and the others had arrived, and secretly said: They are finally here, and whether they will return to Jizhou will be revealed soon.

"Since they're already here, let them in." Zhang Yan said coldly.

The soldier knelt on the ground and said with some embarrassment: "The leader of the king can come in, but the leader of the sun ......"

"Don't spit out, hurry up." Zhang Yan saw that the soldier looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and said impatiently: "What's wrong with Leader Sun?" ”

The soldier gritted his teeth and said, "The leader of the king is holding a plate containing the head of the leader of Sun. ”

"What, Leader Sun's head?" Hearing the soldier say this, the hall was suddenly confused: "Hell, what the hell is going on, who killed Leader Sun?" ”

"Quiet, quiet!" Zhang Yan slapped his hand on the table a few times, and the hall regained calm, and he instructed the soldiers: "What are you still doing here, why don't you hurry up and invite the leader of the king in." Looking at the back of the soldier leaving, Zhang Yan couldn't help frowning, he glanced at Han Zhan's location, and thought to himself: How did Sun Qing die, could it be that Han Fujun sent someone to poison him?

"Master Hu, please rest assured," Han Zhan said to Hu Zhen with a smile: "Whether Sun Qing will be unfavorable to Leader Zhang, Ben Hou does not know. But Wang Dang will never be in the same league with Sun Qing today. ”

Hearing Han Zhan say this, Hu Zhen's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly asked, "Tinghou, did you hear any news?" ”

"I haven't heard anything."
