On the day of the fall of Zaoyang County, Yang Jinshan, the general of Cao Yingnanying, nicknamed "Yang Fool", took the lead in leading the horse army to rush into the city, followed by He Jin, Lin Yangyang and other departments advancing one after another. Another day, the city of Chungling fell, Cao Ying with the "neat king" Wang monk and the "nine dragons" Liu Baizheng, "Zhang Fatzi" Zhang Fang and other people left, and "a zhangqing" Shi Gongda, "a dragon" in Qingtan City, the rest of the departments together with the follow-up from the south of the mountain Cao Ying's large army moved to Zaoyang County.

"Cao Cao" Luo Rucai himself, his henchman Zhao Yingyuan, the leader of the old battalion, his uncle Luo Daien, and his nephew Wang Long lived in the county government office, and Zhu Yangmin, the general of the middle camp, Li Rugui, the general of the east camp, Yang Chengen, the general of the west camp, Yang Jinshan, the general of the south camp, and Wang Kehuai, the general of the north camp, were respectively responsible for the defense. Only these Cao camp hearts and abdomen of the huge Cao camp system are allowed to be stationed in the city, and the "Little Qin King" Wang Guangen, "Huaguansuo" Wang Guangtai and other troops are stationed in the western suburbs of Zaoyang, the "Zuojin King" He Jin, the "King of Troubled Times" Lin Yangcheng, the "Shooting the Sky" Li Wanqing, and the "King of the World" Liu Xiyao are stationed in the northern suburbs of Zaoyang, the "Tuotian King" Chang Guoan, the "An Shiwang" Hu Keshou, and the "Reincarnated King" are stationed in the eastern suburbs of Zaoyang, and the "Xingshi Wang" Wang Guoning and the "Broken Mountain Tiger" Yang Youxian are stationed in the southern suburbs of Zaoyang. Under Luo Rucai's repeated orders, these are not Cao Ying's descendants and other departments, and without the permission of Luo Rucai himself, not a single soldier can step into the county seat for even half a step.

"Punish adultery and eliminate evil, do the right thing for heaven, benevolence and righteousness are incomparable, and the people support the government." In the north of Zaoyang County, flags embroidered with these two sentences were planted all over the battlements, and Fu Xunyu, who was wrapped in gray sleeves, looked up at the city and recited silently.

The sound of boots behind him, Fu Xunyu turned around, nodded, and said, "Li Zhangpan." ”

Li Wanqing, who was wearing a phoenix helmet, also followed his gaze to look at the banners above, then coughed up phlegm on the ground, and scolded in a low voice: "Fooling the nonsense of a three-year-old child, I am embarrassed to swagger through the market." As he spoke, he turned to Fu Xunyu, "Mr. Fu, we have just finished agreeing in the small tent, and Lao He said that you should come over and testify on behalf of Zhao Ying." ”

Fu Xunyu promised, and couldn't help but recall He Jin's sentence this morning, "Tonight, we will do it." These words were said lightly, but Fu Xunyu heard the shocks in his ears, so that he was still in a mood when he thought about it now. It was also at that time that he understood why Lin Chengcheng, Li Wanqing and other outlaws, although they were all invincible, were willing to serve He Jin, who did not seem to be amazing. If you don't make a sound, you have already made a blockbuster, on decisiveness, on courage, in contrast, there is indeed no one who is capable of the right of He Jin.

He Jin made the final decision, and Lin, Li, and Liu had no other ideas, and they all expressed their willingness to follow him to serve Zhao Ying. He Jin was worried that Cao Ying's northward march in the past two days would disrupt the war between Zhao Ying and the return camp, so he planned to start an incident tonight and do a big job. He Jin did not say how big this vote was, but invited Fu Xunyu out first, and several old brothers discussed it privately. At this time, about two hours later, almost three poles in the sun, finally had a result.

Back in the tent, several people stood around, all frowning, Fu Xunyu said first: "How are you going to act?" If there is a place that can help you, you will never give up. ”

He Jin said: "Zhao Ying can't wait for us, and we don't want to go to see Brother Zhao empty-handed. A few plans have been decided, and I will open the city gate at dusk today, and enter the city to arrest Luo Rucai and kill him! ”

"Arrest Luo Rucai?" Fu Xunyu's eyes widened. While waiting outside, he also pondered what actions He Jin and the others would take to restrain Cao Ying from going north, and after thinking about it, he couldn't imagine that the four people in front of him would actually make the decision to directly attack Luo Rucai himself.

"Exactly." He Jin's expression was resolute, Li Wanqing, Lin Yangsheng, and Liu Xiyao were also very serious, and they didn't look like they were laughing, "The surname Luo sits in the county seat with his henchmen in the old camp, and the five generals in the east, west, south, north, and middle respectively guard the city gates and county offices on all sides, and the north gate guard is Wang Kehuai. Since he has received some credit for the capture of Chungling City, he has been bragging about drinking every day, and there is hardly a day when he is not drunk, and the surname Luo does not pay attention to him......"

Speaking of this, Lin Chengcheng took over the conversation and said: "There are several jars of fine wine in my camp, and later today, I will personally send it to him to earn the ......city gate."

"Not bad." Li Wanqing said, "As long as I wait for the north gate to open, I will kill the generals and go in, and go straight to the county government to arrest the dog surnamed Luo, and solve the battle quickly." Cao Ying's surname Luo is a plate of loose sand, and he can't suppress the position with the instigation of Zhao Yingyuan, Luo Dain and other thieves. At that time, Wang Guangen, Wang Guoning and others have already complained about the surname Luo, and they will inevitably respond in groups. In this way, it didn't take Zhao Ying half a finger to move his fingers, and the southern disaster was solved. After that, He Jin, Lin Chengcheng, and Liu Xiyao all nodded yes.

After hearing this, Fu Xunyu frowned and thought for a moment, and said: "The plan of several people is reasonable, but the internal links still need to be carefully sorted out, otherwise one is afraid that if you are not careful, you will lose all the games." "Luo Rucai is known for being cunning, and it is not easy to control the heads of the camps so far. He Jin and the others were right, but Fu Xunyu always felt a little hasty.

Li Wanqing shook his head and said, "Mr. Fu, don't worry, I know more about this Cao Ying than you." What kind of goods Luo Rucai and Wang Kehuai are, I know a few things. If you don't know what you're sure about, you won't do it. ”

He Jin also said: "Time is pressing, yesterday the surname Luo Zeng handed down an edict, asking all the masters to enter the city tomorrow to participate in the military discussion." Presumably, it must be related to going north, once the military order is set, the troops and horses of all units are mobilized and put on alert, and it is difficult to get another opportunity easily. It is to do great things, and it can only be set today. ”

Fu Xunyu still wanted to speak, but Lin Chengcheng interjected: "Mr. Fu, take care of your own affairs, this arrest of Luo Rucai is determined by us, so no matter what the result is, we will also bear it." Even if it doesn't work, there are only many scars on the left and right, and I don't regret it. You just have to look at it, even if it is a kind reminder, when it comes to the moment, it will disturb our minds. ”

He Jin said: "The matter is urgent, and there is no room for more planning. Isn't it just a one-shot deal, the brothers have done it before, and they have survived it differently. Mr. Fu doesn't need to worry too much, my four battalions of people together are thousands, even if they lose, they are enough to protect themselves. ”

Speaking of this, Fu Xunyu could only put away the advice, arched his hand and said: "Then wait for the good news, congratulations to the four of you on success!" ”

Subsequently, in front of Fu Xunyu, He Jin, Lin Yangsheng, Li Wanqing, and Liu Xiyao placed incense in front of the statue of Emperor Guan in the tent and swore an oath in blood. After the ceremony, according to He Jin's distribution, Lin Yangsheng, Li Wanqing, and Liu Xiyao each returned to the camp to prepare. He Jin sent them away, returned to the tent, and said, "Mr. Fu, the soldiers are about to rise, and the swords and guns have no eyes, so I still have someone to get you out first." ”

Fu Xunyu refused, and said: "Here is Zhao Yingren, He Zhangpan is now a Zhao Ying general, he should fight side by side with the enemy, even if he dies in the chaos, he will not retreat a step." ”

He Jin was stunned, then laughed and said, "Wonderful." Brother Zhao is an unyielding character, and Mr. Fu also regards death as home, and he is united in his heart. It can be seen that Zhao Ying's ethos is heavy on righteousness and keeping, and sooner or later it will become a big thing. ”

Fu Xunyu smiled, but there was some bitterness in his smile, He Jin saw it in his eyes and asked, "What does Mr. Fu have to say?" ”

"No other." Fu Xunyu sighed and said, "Several of them are heroes, and being able to vote for my Zhao Ying can be said to make my Zhao Ying like a tiger." But Luo Rucai is a notorious giant thief after all, and the guards around him must be extremely strict, so he is really worried about a few masters...... And I don't know what are the chances of winning tonight in He Zhangpan's opinion? ”

When He Jin heard this, he lowered his head and thought about it, and then softly spit out two words: "Five points." He continued, "It's a pity not to give this opportunity a try." ”

Fu Xunyu listened, looked at his unwavering gaze, and was silent.

At the snap of a finger, the sunset is full of sky.

He Jin, who was fully armored, walked through the endless stream of people and horses in the camp with figure-eight steps, walked to Fu Xunyu, who was pacing back and forth nervously, and said with his fists clenched: "There are 500 people left in the camp, Mr. Fu will stay here for the time being, waiting for my good news." ”

Fu Xunyu replied with a fist and said: "He Zhangpan is going to be careful!" An hour ago, he had heard that Lin Chengcheng had gone to the north gate with fine wine. According to the plan, at this time, He Jin will lead the troops to fight, Li Wanqing and Liu Xiyao will raise their troops together, and the next series of actions will be the most important.

He Jin grinned and stepped away. Fu Xunyu watched him leave, his fist-clasped hands were untied, and his palms were covered with sweat.

The glow faded, and night followed.

In order to avoid being affected by the rebellion, Fu Xunyu was protected in a depression far from the north gate in the northern suburbs. Here, it was impossible to see what was going on at the city gate, but Fu Xunyu's heart, who had been watching into the distance, was always tightly gripped. The sky in the direction of the city gate, the sky above the firelight showed some ambiguous dark green in the darkness, even if he didn't put himself in his position, Fu Xunyu seemed to be able to really feel the dragon fighting fish at the north city gate.

Siye was silent, only the forest wind was whistling in his ears, and he didn't know how much time had passed, Fu Xunyu suddenly saw the sky above the city gate, and the firelight suddenly dimmed. His heart pounded, and he stood still. Not long after, four or five horsemen rushed out of the darkness, and the phoenix helmet and heavy armor of the knight at the front of the prancing horse was Li Wanqing, who "shot the sky".

"Li Zhangpan!" Fu Xunyu greeted him, but when he saw that Li Wanqing's hair was scorched and his armor was covered with blood, he couldn't help but feel shocked.

"Mr. Fu, something is wrong!" Li Wanqing jumped off the horse and limped to Fu Xunyu's approach. Fu Xunyu's eyes were sharp, and he glimpsed an arrow in his left leg in the dimness.

"How's it going?"

As soon as Li Wanqing raised his face, on a dirty face, only a pair of tricks were still innocent. However, in the innocence, there was red blood, and tears were swirling.

"What's wrong?" Fu Xunyu was in a hurry, forgot his identity, and directly climbed Li Wanqing's shoulders.

Li Wanqing burst into tears and said hatefully: "Old Liu...... No, Liu Xiyao, who was raised, is, is the dark spot inserted by the surnamed Luo, and pierced the news...... "wiped his eyes and whimpered," Lao Lin was killed at the head of the city, and the surnamed Luo earned me and Lao He entered the city, and the traitor Liu Xiyao suddenly made trouble, and attacked Wang Kehuai and others inside and outside...... Lao He was hit in the chest by a bird, and I dragged him halfway through, and he couldn't do it...... Before I die, let me give a message to Mr. Fu......" As he spoke, the tears that were still sporadic immediately fell like a spring.

"Say what?" Fu Xunyu was stunned and asked in a trembling voice.

Li Wanqing replied: "It is said that he was destined to meet Brother Zhao, but he did not have a part to assist him in achieving great things, but if he was born to enter the Zhao camp, he died without regrets......" said, as soon as he collected his sadness, he helped Fu Xunyu, "Mr. Fu, Cao Thief's pursuers are behind, this is not the place to talk, let's go first!" ”

Fu Xunyu nodded indiscriminately, and was about to get on the horse, who would have thought that at this moment, countless horse troops suddenly collided in the shadows, surrounding him and Li Wanqing and others.
