(Thanks to the book friend "Wandering W" for his heartfelt advice)

"Commander, this is what Gao Yu asked me to pass on to you." Shen Xiucai smiled respectfully at Zheng Fei and said, at this moment, he has completely lost the panic and fear he just showed in front of Gao Yu, only to see his face humble, polite and calm and confident, but unfortunately Gao Yu and Chen Biao and others will never have the opportunity to see him change this time.

"Mr. Shen has worked hard, let Mr. be in danger, I really can't wait." Zheng Fei gratefully hugged Shen Xiucai,

Shen Xiucai hurriedly shook his head and smiled, "The commander's words are serious, if I were the commander, I would have died unjustly in prison, and my mother would have ......died of illness because of my down-and-out incompetence, not to mention the commander's great kindness to the people of the city, if I can repay the commander's great kindness with death, Shen will have no complaints!" ”

Zheng Fei immediately ordered someone to take the money that had been prepared to reward Shen Xiucai, but Shen Xiucai resolutely did not want to, but Zheng Fei insisted again and again, Shen Xiucai's face turned slightly red and said ashamed, so he accepted the money.

After sending Shen Xiucai away, Zheng Fei turned around and saw that in front of him, in addition to Hu Sanniang, Wang Jin, Wu Yong, Zhu Gui and others, Deng Yuanjue, Lin Chong, Wang Yin and other legendary people who were locked up for losing Puzhou and other places were actually there, Hu Yanzhuo's son Hu Yanhu, who had led troops to defect in Chen Biao's mouth, was still there, and Liu Zhengyan, the Western Army who had conspired with Gao Yu to rebel, was also there!

What the hell is going on?!

"Gao Yu wants my 5,000 guan," Zheng Fei smiled slightly, "He is really not greedy, the outside world has rumored that we have looted hundreds of millions of guan, but he only needs 5,000 guan." But he's going to be disappointed, we found a lot of money at the beginning, but there is not much left to spend a long time ago, even if he forces Lao Tzu again, Lao Tzu will not give him 5,000 yuan. ”

All the generals also smiled, Liu Zhengyan stood in the crowd and watched all this, and couldn't help but feel a trace of luck in his heart, recalling the ...... of these days, when that Chen Biao found him a few days ago, he was actually a little moved, after all, the surrender of the Western Army was a desperate move, and he was very willing to return to the Great Song Dynasty openly.

But...... He hesitated, because as he went from Qizhou to Yunzhou, as he got to know the Heavenly Dao Army more and more, he unconsciously felt a kind of fear, thirty years of life experience, fifteen years of military career, he has always been proud of being a member of the Western Army, the Western Army crowns the entire forbidden army This is the consensus of the world, he never believed that there was a more powerful army than the Western Army in the Great Song Dynasty, but now he saw it, saw an army that was not weaker than the Western Army in all aspects, and even stronger than the Western Army in some directions!

While this perception changed his worldview, it also greatly damaged his self-confidence, and he was very skeptical that the successive defeats of the thieves were real. If you turn against the water, what will be the consequences of waiting for yourself and the Western Army? The Western Army is not afraid of death, but the revenge has not yet been avenged, and they can't die yet!

Finally, after a sleepless night, Liu Zhengyan walked into the commander's mansion, and when he came to the commander's study, he hadn't opened his mouth, but he heard the commander who was lying on the bookcase and carefully observing the map without even raising his head and said lightly, "Zhengyan, congratulations on making a right choice, I have decided to truly trust you from now on." ”

In an instant, Liu Zhengyan trembled all over, and broke out in a cold sweat, only then did he understand that everything about himself was under the surveillance of the Heavenly Dao Army, that is to say, if he didn't come today, if he ......, then waiting for his ...... with the Western Army!

Next, Liu Zhengyan learned that Chen Biao, the imperial court spy who thought he had been lurking on Jingxi Road unknowingly, had actually been under the close surveillance of an intelligence department called the Investigation Bureau of the Tiandao Army, and the vast majority of the residents of that person's residence, hawkers, and even some of his friends, business partners, business partners, and so on were all members of the Investigation Bureau, and the information he passed on to the imperial court about the so-called Tiandao Army was just false information that the Heavenly Dao Army deliberately let the imperial court know.

Liu Zhengyan was completely convinced, and while he was deeply afraid and lucky, he also faintly had an inexplicable excitement, what kind of achievements would such a terrifying and powerful army achieve in the future under the leadership of someone like the commander? And is the surrender of himself and the 30,000 Western Army the result of a loss of horses? Or even ...... The founding of the country .......

"Are the soldiers ready?" , A voice interrupted Liu Zhengyan's memories, he looked up and saw that it was the commander who was asking Wang Jin,

Wang Jin clenched his fists and said categorically, "Everything is ready, waiting for the commander's order at any time!" ”

Immediately afterwards, the commander asked him, "Are the brothers of the Western Army also ready?" ”

Liu Zhengyan hurriedly replied respectfully with his fists, "Please rest assured, the commander, the weapons, armor, shields, etc. have been distributed in place, and the brothers can take revenge when they hear it, they are all gearing up, just waiting to go into battle to kill the enemy!" ”

The commander nodded at him with satisfaction, and then looked at Wu Yong,

Wu Yong immediately said, "I just received the flying pigeon transmission from Commander Lu, Commander Chao, Commander Huyan and Commander Pang, everyone is ready!" ”

The commander nodded again, his eyes slid over the faces of the generals one by one, and said in a deep voice, "Brothers, for the people who have been ravaged by the Song army in various places, for the souls of the fallen soldiers in the sky, for the sake of Liangshanbo, and for the protection of our families, relatives and friends, and the people behind us, this battle will be won!" ”

Everyone pulled out their weapons and pointed to the sky, shouting in unison, "This battle will be won!" ”

Liu Zhengyan shouted loudly, like an oath, like venting!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Wang Jin and the others had already left to prepare for the final decisive battle, and Hu Sanniang was the only one left on the city tower that was still overcrowded just now, Zheng Fei looked at the camp of the Song army in the distance, silent,

Hu Sanniang saw that Zheng Fei had something on her mind, but she obediently didn't ask, but just stood quietly beside Zheng Fei and snuggled up to him, accompanying him to enjoy the last peace before a big war was coming, but fortunately she didn't ask, because Zheng Fei would not tell her what he really wanted now, this is a secret buried in the deepest part of Zheng Fei's heart, a secret that can never be shared with others, even the closest people.

Zheng Fei remembered all his experiences in his previous life, remembered the scene he crossed over, remembered the determination he made after narrowly avoiding death in Luda's three iron fists, and remembered the heroic words before he tried his best to help Huaxia and save thousands of Chinese ancestors from suffering, he has been working hard for this, worthy of his heart, and from a person who regrets many days after every killing, to a real butcher whose hands have been stained with endless blood, until not long ago, He still would rather resist desperately than let any of the people behind him fall into the ravages of war.

But after witnessing the tragic death of hundreds or thousands of people at the hands of the Song army, he changed, because he suddenly understood several cruel but true truths, first, in times of war, mercy to the enemy is cruelty to one's own people. Second, excessive pursuit of perfection will only make things complicated and troublesome, and you will suffer more losses as a result. Thirdly, the physical destruction of the enemy and those who oppose oneself is the simplest, but also the most direct and effective way to solve all problems. Fourth, sacrifice is inevitable, and if it has to be sacrificed, make it worthwhile!

He made a series of changes because of this, he ordered Deng Yuanjue, Lin Chong and others to give up the three southern states, he asked Lu Zhishen, Chao Gai and others to pretend to be defeated and retreated, and lost countless people to the Song army, he sacrificed the lives of hundreds of soldiers of the Heavenly Dao Army in vain and deliberately pretended to be forced to lose Liangshanbo, these things that are extremely normal for any commander who marches and fights are painful decisions for him to endure inner torment, because those are the simple people who respect him, love him, and regard him as a savior, It was a brother and comrade-in-arms who believed in him and obeyed him and regarded him as a brother.

But...... He has a reason to do this, only in this way can he play the trick really, and only in this way can he lure the main force of Gao Yu and the Song army into the hinterland and get into his trap, because he wants to try to eat all the Song army in one go, only in this way can Song Ting understand his strength, can he sweep away the threat near Jingxi Road, and can pave the way for his next plan!

Civilians, soldiers, you will not sacrifice in vain, and let me comfort you with the blood of the enemy!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Gao Yu waited a little anxiously for half an hour, but saw that Yunzhou City in the distance did not react at all, he snorted coldly with some annoyance, and then looked at Chen Biao and asked, "Before you came, did Liu Zhengyan prepare?" ”

Chen Biao hurriedly nodded and replied, "Please rest assured, General Liu said that everything is ready, and when our army attacks at a critical moment, he will lead his troops to launch a deadly counterattack against the thieves!" ”

Gao Yu nodded with satisfaction, and couldn't help but flash a trace of excitement in his heart, this moment has finally arrived, who will dare to laugh at me in vain in the future?!

"Command the army, attack!"
