Niu Wen is a good reader, but he can't kill at all. Seeing the tragic death of the two soldiers, Niu Wen's face turned pale with fright, and he was completely frozen in place.

The remaining three soldiers hurriedly went to chase Wang Er, but as soon as they went out, Wang Er had already mixed in the crowd and disappeared.

After a long time, Niu Wen came back to his senses. Arresting Wang Er is the task that Zhang Shumo secretly left to Niu Wen, Niu Wen was in high spirits when he first received the task, but now he has messed up the matter, how can he explain to Zhang Shumo?

Thinking of this, Niu Wenfei went to the county government to find Niu Zheng.

When he came to the county office, Niu Wen called Niu Zheng while running. Niu Zheng couldn't help but scold when he saw the anxious Niu Wen: "What kind of system does the frizzy become?" Say, what's going on. ”

Niu Wen swallowed his saliva: "Ran away, Wang Er ran away." Zhang Shumo asked me to lead someone to arrest Wang Er, but I was careless and he escaped. ”

"Arrest Wang Er?" Niu Zheng looked puzzled, how could Zhang Shumo go directly to Niu Wen after himself if he wanted to arrest someone?

Although he was puzzled, Niu Zheng immediately asked people to block the city gate, and then asked Niu Wen to tell him the truth of the matter.

After understanding the whole story, Niu Zheng stroked his beard and said, "According to what you said, I think Zhang Shumo deliberately wanted Wang Er to escape!"

Niu Wen asked in disbelief when he heard this, "How is it possible?" Does he think I'm going to mess up? ”

"Although you may not be able to handle this matter, there is a great chance of failure if you let a scholar and take a few township soldiers to catch an experienced scout. You don't know how thoughtful Zhang Shumo is, if he really wants to catch Wang Er, would he arrange it so hastily? Niu Zheng asked.

After listening to this, Niu Wen suddenly realized, originally he thought that Zhang Shumo had let him secretly arrest Wang Er to value himself, but he didn't expect that he was actually using himself!

After a while, a guard hurriedly came to the county government to report: "Report to your lordship, someone saw Wang Er fleeing from the south gate of the county seat, if he rode a fast horse to chase after him, he should be able to catch up."

Niu Zheng waved his hand: "Forget it, since Wang Er is a scout, I'm afraid he has a good means of concealment, even if we send someone to chase him, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch him, so let him go."

The next morning, the sky was bright. On the city wall of Xiuwuzhi County, a soldier kept watch all night, dozing off in a daze.

At this time, a force of 15,000 people quietly approached Xiu Wuzhi. The soldiers tiptoed and their horses' hooves were wrapped in cloths, and as if out of thin air, they went down the city walls.

One of the guards guarding the city heard movement under the city and immediately became alert. He looked down, and the dense crowd frightened him to sleep, and ran under the city wall shouting: "There is an enemy attack! There is an enemy attack! ”

Xiuwuzhi City immediately became a mess, and the military marquis in charge of duty immediately came to the wall, and picked up his weapons in a panic and looked at the city. At this time, the marquis found that this army was rushing towards the city gate without slowing down, and before the marquis had time to wonder, he heard someone shouting: "The city gate is opened, the city gate is opened!"

The marquis was shocked when he heard this, and pulled the shouting soldier and asked, "What's the matter, how can the city gate be opened?"

"My lord, just now a large group of homeless people rushed to the city, and they killed people when they saw them, and directly opened the city gate!"

"What?" The marquis threw the soldiers aside, rushed down the city wall, and ran towards the county office.

Under the city of Xiuwuzhi, Zhang Yan rushed in first. Lu Li immediately greeted him, pointed out the direction of the county government for the large army, and Zhang Yan raised his silver gun and rushed over with everyone.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, Xiu Wuzhi's township soldiers had no time to make effective resistance, and two hours later, all the resisting township soldiers were annihilated, and the county commander He Tao was captured alive in the county office.

After conquering the city, Zhang Shumo did not let the soldiers return to Thanh Hoa after looting the food in the city as expected, but after distributing the equipment in the city to the recruits, Zhang Yan took the soldiers to start deploying defenses in the city.

Zhang Yan listened to Liu Tiantian's words on the road, and knew that Zhang Shumo must have some plan, so he began to implement it without asking.

Xiu Wuzhi County Ya, Zhang Shumo let He Tao loosen the tie, and He Tao looked at the teenage boy in front of him tremblingly.

"Lord He, before Liang Jiajun Shou wrote a letter asking you to send troops to support Qinghua, why did you disobey?" Zhang Shumo said expressionlessly.

He Tao had also heard about Zhang Jian and Yang Hua, and in the face of this murderous young man, He Tao was afraid from the bottom of his heart, so he replied resignedly: "If you go back to Zhang Gongzi, there are few major generals and soldiers in Xiuwuzhi, and it is difficult to protect yourself, how can there be extra soldiers to support Qinghua?"

Zhang Shumo sneered: "If there are few soldiers, you can go less, so you can't even send a single soldier, right?" I see that you clearly want to leave a way out for yourself to fornicate and rebel against thieves! ”

He Tao was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat, and quickly explained: "Zhang Gongzi, at the moment, anyone in the chaos of war will want to protect themselves, this is human nature!" What's more, Liu Ye's strength is strong, and no one is invincible in the northwest, Zhang Gongzi can't use such an excuse to punish his own official crimes! ”

Seeing He Tao's performance, Zhang Shumo smiled: "You are quite sincere, good!" I'll not cure your sins for the time being, I want you to see how Liu Ye, who is invincible in your mouth, was defeated! ”

He Tao wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly said to Zhang Shumo: "Zhang Gongzi, as long as you can defeat Liu Ye, I will lead the entire Xiu Wuzhi and my He clan to be loyal to Gongzi!"

Zhang Shumo smiled slightly after hearing this: "Okay, Lord He has to talk about it, I hate treachery the most in my life!"

After speaking, the soldier took He Tao down and put him under house arrest. Liu naturally asked with interest: "Why did you suddenly become soft-hearted?" I thought you would use thunder to take over the command of Xiu Wuzhi. ”

Zhang Shumo rubbed his eyebrows: "How can I have the energy to manage Wuzhi, if I kill him, I have to find a new county order." Moreover, the He clan is a big clan in the northwest, and its power in the northwest is deep-rooted, and once he kills He Tao, there will be a lot of trouble. And the most important thing at the moment is to deal with Liu Ye! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Shumo immediately looked at Lu Li: "Liu Ye should be here tomorrow, and I have to trouble Brother Lu to run again."

Lu Li nodded: "Please rest assured, this time Liu Ye will not come back!" After speaking, Lu Li left Xiu Wuzhi.

Seeing Lu Li go away, Liu was naturally more interested in Zhang Shumo's plan: "What did you let Lu Li do?" Mysterious God, are you still afraid that I will reveal your plan? ”

Zhang Shumo smiled: "I asked him to arrange the way back." This battle is related to the pattern of the northwest, if we win, we can compete with Liu Ye, so there must be no mistakes! ”

On the other side, Liu Ye was rushing towards Xiuwuzhi with 5,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry. Less than twenty miles away from Xiu Wuzhi, Wang Er rode a fast horse and finally chased Liu Ye's large army!
