"What about our casualties?" Xu Ji asked the guards beside him.

"Captain, we currently have a total of 524 wounded, none of whom died, and all of the wounded were wounded by the opponent's crossbows."

"Well, what's the mood of the soldier?"

"Now the whole barracks is filled with panic, especially the veterans who have experienced the battle of Xu Wu are even more afraid of the weapon that can explode after burning in Rinshan. Now the whole barracks are rumored that the enemy will use that terrible weapon next time. ”

"Yes, I see. Go down and behead those who have troubled the hearts of the army, and tell the soldiers that the enemy is not terrible, and that our reinforcements will come soon. ”

"No, my subordinates will do it!" After speaking, the soldiers turned around and left Xu Ji's room and walked towards the barracks. Looking at the departing soldiers, Xu Ji didn't have to think about it to know that the city was mixed with the details of the Rinshan army, but he didn't know how many people had come in. Thinking of this, Xu Ji hurriedly got up and walked towards the county office.

"Isn't Master Zhang here?" Xu Ji came to the county office and asked the official guarding the door.

"Master Zhang is in the lobby." The official replied, and Xu Ji hurriedly walked towards the lobby after hearing this.

Xu Ji came to the lobby and saw Zhang Jue talking to a young man, Zhang Jue saw Xu Ji coming, and quickly stopped talking to the young man, turned to Xu Ji and said, "What is the so-called Captain Xu?" Came in such a hurry. ”

Xu Ji glanced at the young man and said, "Lord Zhang, I'm afraid that Linyu City has been mixed with the fine work of Rinshan, I want to ask Lord Zhang to step up the investigation of the people in Linyu City." By the way, so? ”

"Oh, this is my nephew who is far away, and he came to tell me that a few people are sneakily inquiring about our city defense. No, he is telling him to follow those people. ”

"So that's the case, then ask Lord Zhang to search carefully. I fear that the enemy's work already knows what is going on in our city. Xu Ji said.

"Don't worry, Captain Xu. I'm going to take someone to search for it myself. ”

"Okay, I won't bother Master Zhang, I'll leave!" After speaking, Xu Ji arched his hand towards Zhang Jue and walked out, and did not forget to glance at the young man before leaving.

Seeing Xu Ji leaving, Zhang Jue exhaled heavily and said to Zhang Chao: "Zhang Gongzi, Xu Ji is already suspicious, please leave Zhang Gongzi quickly." It turned out that the young man was none other than Zhang Chao under Tang Zheng.

"Lord Zhang, Lord Zhang, for the sake of you and me, I hope you will remember what I said, as long as you cooperate with us to open the city gate, we can not blame you for following Zhang Chun's rebellion." Zhang Chao said to Zhang Jue.

"Zhang Gongzi, please rest assured, when the time comes, I will definitely cooperate with Zhang Gongzi's people to open the city gate, and ask Zhang Gongzi to tell Tang Fujun that he will definitely live up to Tang Fujun's expectations."

"Then I won't bother Master Zhang in the future, so I'll leave." After speaking, Zhang Chao arched his hand to Zhang Jue, turned around and left the Linyu County Ya through the back door.

In the camp of the Rinshan Army, Zhang Chao was reporting to Tang Zheng about Linyu City in Tang Zheng's tent. "Are you saying that Zhang Jue has agreed to cooperate with us to open the city gates?"

"Yes, Gongzi, but Zhang Jue wants us to ensure the safety of him and his family, and no longer pursue him for following Zhang Chun's rebellion." Zhang Chao said.

"That's no problem, as long as he is willing to cooperate with us to take Linyu, it's fine."

"Childe, when I was discussing with Zhang Jue, Rinshan guard Xu Ji Xu Xiaowei came to the county government to find Zhang Jue and asked him to investigate the suspicious people in Linyu City, I estimate that he found out that we have infiltrated Linyu, and he may have doubts about my identity, I don't know if this will be unfavorable to our plans tonight."

"It's okay, even if he is suspicious, as long as he opens the city gate, he can't stop my Modao battalion with 15,000 people."

"Yes, that's good."

"Okay, you go down to rest first, you have to go to Linyu tonight."

"Yes!" Zhang Chao said yes and turned around and went out.

"Brother Dian, you also go down to rest and recuperate first, and tonight we will win Linyu in one battle."

"Yes." After speaking, Dian Wei also left Tang Zheng's tent and turned around to go down to rest. "Now everything is ready, all we owe is the east wind. I hope that tonight will not be sideways and take Linyu in one fell swoop. Tang Zheng said to himself.

"Someone!" Xu Ji shouted as he returned to the city wall.

"Captain, what are your orders?" A soldier ran over and answered.

"Pass the order down and strengthen the defense. Furthermore, no one who is not ours shall come near the wall. Xu Ji instructed the soldiers.

"No!" After hearing this, Xiao Bing turned around and went down to carry out Xu Ji's orders.

"Captain, has something happened?" At this time, a henchman came to Xu Ji's side and asked.

"Our Linyu has been infiltrated by Rinshan's fine work, and I suspect that Zhang Xianling has a connection with Rinshan, but there is no direct evidence that he defected." Xu Ji said.

"Captain, do you want me to arrest him?"

"No, this will only startle the snake, besides, this is just my speculation, if he doesn't surrender Rinzan, we will only cause more panic if we do this."

"Yes, my subordinates know."

"All we can do now is strengthen our defenses and not let a suspicious person approach the gates. I'm worried that Rinkan will attack the city overnight tonight, so you go down and tell the brothers to work hard, and you must cheer up tonight. ”

"No!" After the soldiers answered, they turned around and went down, leaving Xu Ji alone to look at Tang Zheng's military camp opposite in a daze. "I hope my worries are unnecessary, and I don't know where the reinforcements from Shanhaiguan have gone." Xu Ji said to himself.

"General, we have spotted an army coming towards us." Just when Xu Ji was thinking about the reinforcements from Shanhaiguan, the reinforcements from Shanhaiguan were intercepted by Zhao Yun.

"How many people are on the other side?" Shanhaiguan guard Lu Yi asked. Lu Yi Ziheng was one of the first lieutenants to follow Zhang Chun's rebellion, and later Zhang Chun occupied western Liaoning and took refuge in Qiu Liju, and was appointed by Zhang Chun as the general of Shanhaiguan to lead more than 18,000 people. This person is deeply trusted by Zhang Chun, and it can be said that he is the confidant of Zhang Chun's henchmen, otherwise Zhang Chun would not have handed over Shanhaiguan to him to defend.

"General Hui, there are about 5,000 people on the other side, all of whom are cavalry, and they are rushing towards us." The soldier replied.

"Let the army stop and immediately prepare to meet the enemy." Lu Yi commanded.

"No!" The soldiers turned around and went down to carry out Lu Yi's orders, and after a while, the entire contingent that was still going on stopped, and the cavalry was ready to attack at any time.

"Report!"

At this time, a horse quickly ran towards Zhao Yun, who was walking in front of the team on horseback. "Say, what's the matter?" Zhao Yun said to the visitor.

"Ten miles away from us, we found the reinforcements from Shanhaiguan who came to support Linyu."

"How many people are on the other side? What class is it? ”

"There are about 15,000 people on the other side, most of them are foot soldiers, and a few cavalry are about 2,000."

"Very good, send the order down and let everyone prepare to charge, and when they are five miles away from the enemy, they will start a charge, and be sure to annihilate this group of enemies here!"

"No!" After receiving the order, the herald turned around and went down to carry out Zhao Yun's arrangement.

"You, go down and probe, and make sure to find out the enemy's every move."

"No!"

Looking at the departing rangers, Zhao Yun secretly thought that success or failure was in this move, and the results of his training during this period of time were about to reach the time of inspection.
