In the event of failure, it is doomed to a catastrophe, and only success can dominate public opinion and "set things right." If it weren't for the success of more than eighty percent, ordinary people would never dare to do such a risky thing. But Gao Jie is not an ordinary person, he doesn't care how sure he is, as long as he thinks about something, he has to do it. It was like this to turn his back on Li Zicheng in the early years, and now he is plotting against Zhao Dangshi.

Gao Jie saw the chance encounter with Hu Keshou in the wine shop outside the city as a great opportunity, and he only felt that if defecting to the official army was a huge turning point in his life, then instigating Hu Keshou's defection from Yunxiang Town could be regarded as an important step for him to reach a new stage in his life. The purpose he wanted to achieve with this opportunity was simple - to kill Zhao Dangshi.

Killing Zhao Dangshi will be able to avenge the big loss of Zhao Dangshi before, and more importantly, he can take over Nanyang Mansion and even lead his troops to rush into Huguang to open up a new world. As for Sun Chuanting, he came to Nanyang Mansion with only one of his own personal soldiers to protect him, and when the wood was already in the boat and Zhao Dangshi's head was in his hands, what else could he say? Even if he wanted to preside over justice, he simply didn't do anything and held him hostage to order the Shaanxi soldiers, which was also a clever move. Once the Shaanxi soldiers are controlled, will his dream of defeating Li Zicheng be far away?

At first, he only thought that Hu Keshou, who had poured bitter water, had the value of solicitation, but later, his mind was racing, but he felt that it was a pity not to do a big vote at this time. After this village, there is no such shop, Zhao Dangshi and Li Zicheng, the two enemies, may be able to die under their hands one after another because of this opportunity, how can they not grasp it. What's more, even if he misses, he still has Sun Chuanting's talisman to sacrifice. Just imagine, he was a guerrilla of the Chinese army personally appointed by Sun Chuanting, and if Sun Chuanting did not protect himself and hold him accountable, Sun Chuanting would not be able to escape the blame.

On the first night of separation from Hu Keshou, he didn't sleep all night, and he had a lot of things in his heart, one of the most important was Ma Guangchun. Hu Keshou said that Ma Guangchun had actual military power, and after he inquired later, it was found out that Ma Guangchun was in charge of the garrison at the north gate of Nanyang Mansion during this time. In other words, Ma Guangchun was pulled in, and the plan to kill Zhao Dangshi and occupy the city can be said to be half successful. Another thing is the first Zhou Yuji stationed in Yunxiang Town, half a mile away. Defending the city must defend the wilderness, Yunxiang Town's soldiers and horses are stationed inside and outside the city, and Zhou Yuji happens to be near the head of his camp. Gao Jie is still a little jealous of this person.

Fortunately, in the early morning of the next day, Hu Ke was sent by his cronies into the camp, and as soon as Gao Jiebu met him, he asked impatiently: "What did Ma Guangchun say?" ”

Hu Keshou's cronies said: "Master Gao, Ma Guangchun was hesitant, but after Master Hu's persuasion, he suddenly became enlightened, and Master Xu also advocated to surrender to Master Gao, and the matter was decided. ”

"Master Xu? Which Xu Ye? ”

"The permission of the previous 'Reincarnation King' is currently under Ma Guangchun's Chinese army."

"Oh, it turned out to be him, he actually voted for Zhao Ying." Gao Jie understood in an instant.

"Exactly, Xu Ye and Hu Ye have both followed 'Cao Cao' and have a lifelong friendship."

"It's all grasshoppers on a rope, it's not surprising." Gao Jie smiled and was greatly relieved, "You go back and tell Hu Keshou that you will secretly contact the people in the city who are currently dissatisfied with Zhao Dangshi, and when Lao Tzu's soldiers enter the city, as long as they surrender, they will be rewarded!" Since Ma Guangchun, who was defending the city, was on his side, the key move was stable, Gao Jie was a lot more relieved, and his confidence suddenly rose.

"Master Hu asked the villain to ask Master Gao, when will he act?"

Gao Jie said without thinking: "Sun Junmen is about to leave soon, this matter needs to be resolved quickly, sooner rather than later." You go back and tell Hu Keshou that he can take care of everything today, and when he is ugly tomorrow night, just open the north gate to greet him. ”

When Hu Keshou's cronies went, Gao Jie called Li Chengdong and Li Benshen forward and said: "You two also know about the matter, Ma Guangchun knows each other, but Zhou Yuji is still an obstacle." The soldiers of tomorrow night divided into two routes, one way with me into the city to kill Zhao Dangshi, and the other way to kick the head of Zhou Yuji's camp to prevent him from attacking our abdomen. Zhou Yuji, who are the two of you going? ”

Li Chengdong is one of the main promoters of this plot Zhao Dangshi, it can be said that Gao Jie finally made a decision, and he could not do without his full support, he patted his chest and said: "The subordinates are willing to lead the troops to settle Zhou Yuji, and they will be the first to come to the meeting." When he spoke, his breath was slightly short, and his impatient posture seemed to be more anxious than Gao Jie, after all, he was the one who was really forced to the ghost gate by Zhao Dangshi.

On September 23, when it was ugly, the moon stars were scarce.

In the Changning camp on the northern outskirts of Nanyang Prefecture, a noise woke up the soldiers of the Changning battalion who were sleeping. Commander Zhou Yuji was still lingering in his sleep, only to feel that someone around him was pushing, reflexively bounced up, grabbed a personal soldier, and scolded the general with an angry face: "Your uncle, why are you yelling, disturbing Lao Tzu's good dreams!" ”

"The control is angry, but the horn in the camp has just sounded, and the brothers in the camp are asked to go to the school field immediately!" The soldier who was grabbed said with a sad face. Zhou Yuji treats people peacefully on weekdays, but he hates others the most to disturb him to sleep, and this pro-soldier has the courage to wake him up, which is really a last resort.

"Could it be that there is a night attack by thieves?" Zhou Yuji pushed him aside, but when he heard the sound of the horn outside, he muttered to himself, "Okay, Lao Tzu will go to Lao Liu first to ask for an understanding!" "Tonight, the person in charge of coordinating the night patrol is Liu Guangzuo, a Chinese military officer.

The sound of the horn was loud again and again, urging people to be anxious, and Zhou Yuji shouted: "Quickly bring the armor and weapons and put them on Lao Tzu!" As soon as he gave the order, some of the soldiers who served rushed to fetch his heavy mountain armor.

Zhou Yuji stood up loudly, straightened his clothes, and was preparing to put on his armor, when suddenly seven or eight soldiers broke into from outside the barracks, one by one carrying swords and armor, and his face was not good.

Zhou Yuji didn't care, and asked directly: "But Liu Zhongjun urged me to go?" What's the hurry? Go back and talk to him, and I'll be there!" ”

But the men paid no attention to his words, but only looked at each other a few times. Zhou Yuji saw that they were not leaving, he was stunned, knowing that something was wrong, he quickly retreated a few steps, snatched the waist knife of the soldier who was holding the armor, and shouted at the seven or eight soldiers in front of him: "Straight mother thief, are you sneaky?" ”

The first soldier shouted: "On the order of Sun Junmen, arrest the traitor Zhou Yuji!" After finishing speaking, he glanced at the left and right, and the companions around him immediately waved their knives and rushed towards Zhou Yuji.

"Fuck you!" Zhou Yuji was shocked and angry, and before he had time to ask about the situation, he pulled the armored soldier beside him who was already stunned, blocked the knife in the head, and jumped to the side.

The barracks were not big, and the soldiers gathered in a half-circle, pressing step by step, forcing Zhou Yuji into a corner, Zhou Yuji yelled: "Lao Tzu is not a traitor, where is Sun Junmen?" Lao Tzu wants to see him! ”

Where did those soldiers pay attention to him, the knife went straight down, Zhou Yuji raised his knife to parry, but the place was small, and he couldn't go back, he barely resisted a few moves, and his face and shoulders were still colored.

"His grandmother's!" Zhou Yuji saw that the situation was not good, scolded, leaned down, and pounced on the first soldier. Zhou Yuji is famous, and these soldiers will not be very scared when they work together, but when they saw Zhou Yuji attacking him, the soldier was shocked and instinctively took a few steps back. Zhou Yuji glimpsed a gap, leaned out, and ran towards the outside of the barracks.

The soldier who was originally the leader of the command stood at the door to watch the battle, and when he saw Zhou Yuji breaking out of the siege, he panicked, and his hand trembled to touch the saber on his waist, and Zhou Yuji scolded: "Wang Ba Lizi dodge!" He kicked him over and went out of the door.

When he arrived outside the door, he found that the camp was in chaos, and the soldiers in the barracks were hurrying to the school field, he grabbed a horse and rode it to gallop towards Liu Guangzuo's barracks, Yu Lu thought: "Lao Tzu is loyal, when did he become a traitor?" Damn, I must find Sun Chuanting's guy to understand this matter! ”

Playing horses all the way, passing by Liu Guangzuo's barracks, but hearing the shouts inside, his heart tightened: "Could it be that Lao Liu is also ......" without hesitation at the moment, jumped off the horse, raised the waist knife, and kicked in the door.

As he expected, the situation in Liu Guangzuo's barracks was simply a copy of what he had just done, seeing Liu Guangzuo waving his knife and fighting with four or five soldiers, Zhou Yuji roared angrily, and first chopped over a soldier by the door with a knife in his hand, and then jumped into the circle three or two times to kill the soldiers besieging Liu Guangzuo.

"Domination!" Liu Guangzuo wiped the sweat on his face and looked at Zhou Yuji in surprise.

Zhou Yuji dragged Liu Guangzuo and pulled him to the door: "Go!" Let's go to Sun Chuanting and ask for an understanding! ”

Liu Guangzuo followed him, asked the reason in a few words, and immediately stopped: "Wait, this matter is strange!" Then he said: "Sun Junmen, we must not go there now, it is better to go out of the camp for the time being!" ”

Zhou Yuji said ruthlessly: "If you don't look for Sun Chuanting, how can you return Lao Tzu's innocence?" ”

Liu Guangzuo grabbed him and said, "If you find him, you may not be able to get your innocence back!" Let's go out of the camp first, wait and see, the enemy army is of unknown origin, and if they can't kill us, they will not give up, and now we have to leave quickly! ”

Zhou Yuji listened to what Liu Guangzuo said, and he no longer questioned it. Two people and two horses sneaked through the barracks and arrived at the school yard first. There are hundreds of soldiers of the Changning Battalion on the school field, and they are panicked, but because they are all excellent in equestrian skills and running fast, there are not many casualties. Hearing that the enemy army was constantly attacking, Zhou Yuji and Liu Guangzuo did not stay at the moment, so they led the crowd to disperse to the periphery.

On the other hand, Gao Jie was slightly annoyed when he heard that Li Chengdong did not kill Zhou Yuji, but when he heard that Zhou Yuji's troops were defeated to the periphery, he was a little calm. Thinking about it, I regained my composure.

He stood on the high platform of the school field and shouted to the crowd: "Fang just received an order from Sun Junmen, Zhao Dangshi of Yunxiang Town colluded with the thieves and intended to murder Sun Junmen, and the sons and daughters quickly entered the city with me to rescue!" Immediately, with great fanfare, he quickly marched to the north gate of Nanyang Mansion.

Gao Jie led the army and quickly arrived at the north gate. On the top of the city, Hu Keshou had already made preparations with his men, the city gate slowly opened, and Gao Jie's soldiers rushed in.

The two joined forces together, and Gao Jie asked, "What about Ma Guangchun?"

Hu Keshou was sweating profusely, and replied with a knife: "Ma Guangchun has divided his troops to attack various camps, and his people are now waiting in the water lane." ”

Gao Jie nodded and said, "Without further ado, you and I will go to the rendezvous immediately." ”

After hurrying for a while, when he saw a large group of people and horses distributed at the intersection, Gao Jie expected that it was Ma Guangchun, patted the horse forward, and shouted in the air: "Old horse!" Things were going so smoothly that it was a little more than he could have imagined, and the voice of the shouts trembled with excitement.

When Ma Guangchun heard the sound, he also came to meet immediately. The two horses were only five steps apart, Ma Guangchun's eyes suddenly changed, and he said with a little horror: "Senior brother, be careful behind your back!" ”

Gao Jie's heart sank, and he turned his head to look at the horse urgently, but saw his nephew Li Benshen behind him looking panicked, sitting on the horse and waving to himself with his mouth wide open, and was about to ask, when a "boom" sounded in his ears, like an arrow. His head was heavy, and he immediately fell off his horse.

The person who released the arrow was Ma Guangchun!

Gao Jie fell from his horse, Ma Guangchun quickly jumped to the ground, took out his portable wrist untie knife and cut off Gao Jie's head in three or two strokes, Gao Jie's soldiers were in an uproar and at a loss. Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Benshen turned his horse to leave, and shouted loudly for the soldiers to evacuate, but before the words fell, a feathered arrow had already shot like a meteor catching the moon, hitting him in the back. He swayed and almost fell off his horse, but as soon as he rode to his side, the man on the horse roared like thunder, stretched out his hand and grabbed him by the waist, and dragged him to his saddle. Li Benshen still had to struggle, but the knight was as powerful as an ox, suppressing him to the death, and he couldn't move for half a minute.

Gao Jie's soldiers were not advocating, when they suddenly heard a loud shout: "Gao Jie conspired against the army, and he has nothing to do with the army, and those who abandon the secret and surrender to the light are not guilty!" Following the sound, a handful of freshly clothed angry horses leaped out in the firelight, and from behind him, countless soldiers and horses emerged in various lanes, holding the fire like day.

"Lord, the high thief is dead, and his nephew Li Benshen can also take it!"

Zhao Dangshi listened to Ma Guangchun's report, looked at Li Benshen, who was subdued by the imposing Guan San'er, with a cold gaze, and said indifferently: "Kill together." ”

Li Benshen was moaning to himself, and when he heard the bad news, he cried out like a pig, crying bitterly and begging: "Zhao Shuai spares his life, and the villain is also coerced by high thieves!" "At the moment of life and death, I pleaded again and again, and I couldn't care that Gao Jie was my uncle.

Zhao Dangshi ignored him, Guan San'er was about to make a move, Yang Zhaofeng patted the horse closer, whispered a few words to Zhao Dangshi, Zhao Dangshi frowned, nodded, and then raised his hand violently, and Guan San'er, who was on standby, immediately stopped.

"How's the Changning camp?" While commanding the army to suppress the leaderless Gao Jie soldiers and horses, Zhao Dangshi asked Han Gon in a secret voice.

"I guess there were a few people lost, but it was fine." Han Gon replied, "Lao Meng must have arrived, with him and Zhou in charge and stabilizing their position, that group of Gao Jie's men and horses will definitely be defeated." ”

"Okay, there is no way, but it made Lao Zhou suffer a little." Zhao Dangshi smiled bitterly.
