After taking Baishui Pass, Gongsun Du received a reply from Chu Yan, and when he learned that they had acted according to the plan, his face suddenly became quite unsightly.

"There is no way, I can only rush to Whitewater City as soon as possible."

Gongsun Du said to Huang Xu: "In addition, let Xin Bi lead the follow-up army to come as soon as possible, we must speed up." There is no news of Zhang Liao yet, but it is certain that he is also acting according to the plan like Chu Yan, and we have no time to delay. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Huang Xu nodded and said, "Chen, let people pack their luggage and prepare to leave." ”

At the same time, Wang Ping of Baishui received news from Huo Jun and immediately ordered the army to be reorganized.

The lieutenant general of the school came to Min to get the news, rushed over, and dissuaded: "General, I didn't get any news before, which means that the Ming army has already prepared, maybe Baishui Pass has been lowered at this time, so don't attack rashly?" ”

Wang Ping looked at him and said: "Because of this, reinforcements must be sent immediately, otherwise Baishui Pass will be lowered, and Baishui City will face a fierce attack by the Ming army, or it will not be an opponent, so that the Ming army can drive straight in, so that all the preparations made by His Majesty will be in vain!" ”

Lai Min still needs to be persuaded again, Wang Ping waved his hand and said: "The general has made up his mind, so there is no need to persuade again." ”

"Hey!"

Lai Min sighed secretly and retired.

Wang Ping didn't stay in the house for long, he had already put on his clothes and armor, took the blade, beckoned his own soldiers to the barracks, and left the city with the prepared 300 cavalry and 2,000 infantry troops, but he didn't notice the regret in Lai Min's eyes when he left.

Come to the house.

"Captain, how's it going? So-and-so is not wrong! Liu Bei's handing over a place like Baishui to Wang Ping was actually a mistake, far from being better than the school captain. As soon as he returned to the house, Lai Min bumped into a person head-on, and listening to this tone, the two were very familiar.

"Humph! So what? Lai Min said unpleasantly.

"So what? Oh, come to the captain, don't forget our agreement. ”

"Phew, despicable! To say that meanness is so high-sounding, according to the captain of this school, your majesty is not a good thing? ”

"Come Captain! Do you want to die? ”

"You'll come if there's a kind!"

"You...... Forget it, you think that if you don't agree, the white water will be saved! What do you think we're doing this for? You think we're thinking about it? ”

"Think for yourself! One day! You only have one day to make a decision, and if it's more than a day, you know what to expect. ”

After saying that, the man turned to leave, and Laimin's anger was suddenly pressed into his chest, making him almost suffocate.

When he came to the study, Lai Min gradually calmed down the anger in his heart. From his current point of view, the Ming army's actions are indeed despicable, but from the perspective of the Ming army, it is a despicable move made to reduce sacrifices, which should be respected.

"Do you really want to do this?"

Coming to the bottom of his composure, he fell into self-contradiction.

Halfway.

Gongsun Du received the news that Wang Ping led the troops to support Baishui Pass, called Huang Xu, and said: "Wang Ping can attack and defend, is a rare good general, this attack, although risky, but also shows that he is good at using soldiers, but I didn't expect us to be able to take Baishui Pass so quickly." I don't know if Ziyi can find a way to capture him? ”

Huang Xu said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as Wang Ping arrives, the minister will definitely let him bow down." ”

"In this case, I am waiting for Ziyi's good news."

Huang Xu said again: "Your Majesty, just in case, please come forward, if you can catch him off guard, you should be foolproof." ”

Gongsun Du approvingly: "Ziyi is so cautious, he should be able to teach Wang Ping to come and go!" Okay, I agreed, Ziyi led the troops forward, and I sat and waited for Wang Ping to arrive. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Huang Xu led the troops to march in a hurry, intending to catch Wang Ping off guard. However, the Baishui Pass was broken before, and some defeated soldiers fled first, and they happened to meet Wang Ping halfway, doubling the story of the Baishui Pass being broken. Wang Ping immediately made a decision and ordered to return to Baishui Pass.

Therefore, Huang Xu went all the way to the east of Baishui City, and did not meet Liu Jun. Huang Xu understood that the encounter plan had failed, but he didn't want to stop there, so he left someone to summon Gongsun Du and led his troops to Baishui City.

However, when he arrived outside Whitewater City, Huang Xu found that the situation was a little strange.

"That's ...... King? Wang Ping? ”

From the binoculars, Huang Xu looked at the army outside the city, and his heart was full of surprise. He turned to Baishui City again, and hung up the banner of the word "Ming", and his heart was even more surprised.

"Your Majesty arranged for someone to attack Whitewater City?"

Immediately, Huang Xu rejected this idea. He was sure that if there was such an arrangement, Gongsun Du would not fail to tell him, then ......

"What's going on?"

With such doubts, Huang Xu led the troops to appear behind Wang Ping, and Wang Ping was still under the city to confront Lai Min in the city.

Time went back, and when Wang Ping returned to the city and wanted to enter the city, he found that the city had changed course.

Could it be that Laimin has rebelled?

Wang Ping was shocked and full of anger, ignoring the obstruction of his subordinates, he roared at the city head: "Where is Lai Min? ”

Lai Min felt guilty, but he still stood up and replied: "General Wang! ”

Wang Ping saw that it was as he thought, and the anger in his chest increased: "Come to the captain, are you worthy of Your Majesty's trust by doing this?" ”

Lai Min silently.

When Wang Ping saw him like this, his eyes almost burst into flames, but he also forcibly suppressed it and asked, "Captain, why are you doing this?" Where is your loyalty? ”

Lai Min didn't want to become a traitor in the mouth of future generations, so he replied: "General Wang, Lai admitted that he was worthy of His Majesty's trust, but Lai didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so. ”

"That's right?"

Wang Ping was furious and said, "It's good that you guy, a back-of-the-back guy, actually said such shameless words." ”

Lai Min was scolded one after another, and his face was also cold, and he said: "General Wang, Lai Mou respects you and calls you General Wang, but, General Wang, do you think you are the opponent of the Ming army?" Is this done for the sake of himself? ”

"Well said!"

The words that came suddenly diverted Wang Ping and Lai Min's gaze.

The person who spoke was none other than Huang Xu.

Huang Xu was not afraid of the two of them, rode his horse to the left, and said: "Our Ming army has no opponent in the world, although General Wang can fight well, but he is not our opponent." ”

"Look for death!"

Wang Ping roared angrily and wanted to make a move. Huang Xu said again: "General Wang thinks that since His Majesty has decided to go south, it is just such a little strength?" No, Your Majesty has already made all preparations, and now that Jiameng Pass has been taken by us, I believe that in a few days, the city north of Zitong will be cut off from Chengdu and become a lonely army. ”

"Impossible!"

Wang Ping had a meal on his hand, but he didn't believe what Huang Xu said.

Huang Xu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Believe it or not, but the facts will always be the facts." ”

When the words fell, Wang Ping shouted "go", turned around and ran, which was in great contrast to what he had just done.

Huang Xu was just stunned, and immediately chased after him, and the Ming army he brought with him also began to surround the more than 2,000 "reinforcements" that Wang Ping brought out of the city. In the end, most of them chose to surrender, and only a few cavalry escaped before the siege was completed.

Although Wang Ping left first, he couldn't bear Huang Xu's horse, and he was caught up after escaping less than five miles, and was forced to turn back to fight.

Huang Xu's health was not good earlier, but with the treatment, his body gradually became stronger, and the family knife technique did not rely entirely on a strong body, so his martial arts can be described as a year, and now he is firmly ranked in the top five in the army. If it weren't for the congenital damage, I am afraid that he would take over the title of Huang Zhong's first military general in the world.

Although Wang Ping is brave, he is not Huang Xu's enemy. It is not that Huang Xu has already made a military order to capture him alive, and he may have already stood under the horse before Shihe.

Rao is like this, the two only fought for more than 40 years, Wang Ping was beaten down and bought, and was tied up by Huang Xu's personal soldiers, who had already solved his personal soldiers, and was captured.

Half a day later, Gongsun Du rushed to Baishui City, and when he saw the city that had been taken, he couldn't help but secretly praise Huang Xu's bravery. However, after entering the city, he heard Huang Xu complaining: "Your Majesty, fortunately, the minister was not reckless, otherwise he would have almost injured his own people by mistake." ”

Gongsun Du was a little confused and didn't understand what was going on, and after asking, he didn't understand even more, Huang Xu was the same. So he summoned Laimin, and then the three of them were stunned together.

It was not until the arrival of the follow-up army led by Simbi that the specific situation was known.

It turned out that after understanding, Xin Bi learned that the guards of Baishui were Wang Ping and Lai Min, so he went up to surrender, but was stopped by Guo Jia and secretly issued a secret order to the Qiao Yanglou personnel in Baishui City. Because the political affairs of the DPRK and China were handed over to Gongsun Yi to deal with, and the matter was still in an uncertain state, it was not reported to Gongsun Du that he knew, and finally caused the current situation.

Gongsun Du didn't blame anyone for this, because he knew that there were other reasons why he didn't want him to be infamous. It was only because Lai Min chose to change his course, in addition to the strength of the Ming army and the bad things about Liu Bei, there was also a threat to his family.

"Come Captain!"

It's just that Gongsun Du pretended not to know, took it, and said, "I have wronged you!" ”

"Your Majesty is serious." Lai Min is actually still angry in his heart, but in the face of Gongsun Du's comfort, he can't get angry.

"Well, in this way, Laimin listens!" Gongsun Du's face was straight and said.

Lai Min was slightly stunned and bowed: "Lai Min is here!" ”

"Captain Lai Min, regardless of his personal reputation, in order to avoid the innocent sacrifice of soldiers in the army, chose to change his course and abandon the darkness to the light, so he was given the title of a mighty general to praise his deeds."

Lai Min suddenly burst into tears and said movingly: "The minister is just a traitor, he can win the trust of His Majesty, and it is difficult to repay His Majesty's kindness in death!" Minister, I'm ashamed! ”

Gongsun Du stepped down, personally helped Min up, and said, "No, the general deserves his name, and he deserves my trust!" ”

"Your Majesty......" Lai Min couldn't help crying again.

Then, when Wang Ping learned about Lai Min's situation in prison, he couldn't help but hesitate, but the loyalty in his heart made it difficult for him to make up his mind, until Gongsun Du personally summoned him.

"General Wang, there is a way that there are no eggs under the nest, please don't blame General Lai, what he did was not for his own selfishness." Gongsun Du explained.

Wang Ping sighed in his heart, shook his head, and said nothing.

Gongsun Du said again: "I came with a large army, even if the general can stop it for a while, it will not be able to reverse the general trend of the imminent overthrow of Liu's army. ”

"I want to hear about it!" The king calmed down and said.
