Zhou Nan and Han Gui had already followed Shi Yue to the city wall, and these recruits under Shi Yue, although it was the first time to really defend the city, and they were facing five thousand elite soldiers led by Xiao Gan, the famous general of the Liao army, but they all stood tall and fearless, standing at the battlement, extending into the distance. The pikemen and crossbowmen who were prepared next to them were all ready to stop, and they were all in good spirits, waiting for the order of the generals of the headquarters to meet the incoming enemy.

As the second echelon to watch the battle, it was the battalions of soldiers and horses brought by the commanders of the Biao army who came with Zhou Nan, and they could not stand on the city wall for a while, so they could only leave half of the soldiers and horses to prepare under the city, and the other half could be set up on the city wall with the commanders and the capital. For a time, there were also swords and guns on the city wall, and the flags were flying, which was very imposing.

Zhou Nan stood on the wall of the East City Gate, held the wall and looked over, only to see the Liao army in front, the horse army in the back, also known as a strong man and a strong horse, the army is neat, there is a big flag in the middle, there is a big Xiao character on it, there is a person below, the face is thin, the eyes are deep and the nose is high, the armor is bright, the crotch is a very strong horse, and the soldiers next to him are also brightly clothed, this person is naturally Xiao Gan.

Xiao Gan naturally saw the increased soldiers and horses on the city wall under the city, and also saw Zhou Nan standing above the city gate. Although it was far away, Xiao Gan still recognized it at a glance, this person was the young man who peeked at him on the high stone when he was knocked down the mountain.

When he saw this young man who was secretly peeping at him, Xiao Gan felt a little ashamed in his heart, he was stunned by this subordinate named Zhou Nan, and retreated in embarrassment, and on the way, he also let this Zhou Nan see that he was tied up and carried down the mountain, and he was at a disadvantage psychologically. Xiao Gan beat his spirits, just pretended not to know Zhou Nan, and shouted loudly: "The people in the city listen to the truth: I am Xiao Gan, let Guo Yaoshi, Zhou Nan and others rebel and die!" If not, they will march into the city and kill a chicken and dog! ”

Zhou Nan laughed and said loudly: "Zhou Nan is below, and he has long admired the prestige of the king of the four armies, so the city is not a way of hospitality, King Xiao is willing to enter the city, let him do the friendship of the landlord in the next place?" ”

If someone else dares to open the city gate, Xiao Gan will immediately wave his army into the city, although there are tens of thousands of horses in the city, with his elite soldiers, Xiao Gan has no fear. It's just that Xiao Gan has always known that Zhou Nan is scheming and can't be guarded against, so he doesn't dare to boast that he wants to enter the city.

Shi Yue on the side couldn't help but shout loudly: "King Xiao is afraid of General Zhou's beautiful bar? Hahaha! ”

The hundred elite soldiers of Yang Keshi brought by Shi Yue had personally experienced Xiao Gan's stunned incident in Sanssouci Village, and when they heard Shi Yue say this, they all laughed along, and couldn't help laughing themselves, and they also told their subordinates that this matter would be brought to him now. For a while, there was thunder of laughter on the city wall, and there was no longer the tense atmosphere just now, everyone thought that a few people under General Zhou could scare Xiao Gan away, and now that General Zhou was here, let Xiao Gan retreat.

Xiao Gan was annoyed and embarrassed, and shouted: "The surname is Zhou, don't scold people without revealing their shortcomings, don't go too far!" ”

Zhou Nan smiled: "Please go into the city to drink, but say that I am short, you can tell me, what is my short?" ”

Where is Xiao Gan willing to say that he was stunned by someone's jar of wine, and said angrily: "You came to my Zhuozhou, intending to bewitch my soldiers, how can you let you come nonsense?" ”

Zhou Nan replied: "It's not early, if you don't want to enter the city, go home early, so as not to suffer for your subordinates!" ”

Xiao Gan said with a smile: "At this time, if I don't see Guo Yaoshi, Zhen Wuchen and a few other officials, it must be you, a traitor, who killed the thief of Zhou, and whoever has a righteous man in the city who kills the thief of Zhou will be named the governor of Zhuozhou!" ”

Zhou Nan smiled but did not answer, turned his head to Shi Yue next to him and said, Shi Yue immediately ran down, and soon went up to the city wall with six soldiers, only to see that the six soldiers were divided into three teams, each team was carrying two big flags, black flags and white characters. One banner is embroidered with a big "Zhou" character, and the other banner is embroidered with the three big characters "Wansheng Army". One of the three teams of soldiers stood behind Zhou Nan, and the other two teams split to the left and right. The banner of the victorious army and the sun and moon banner of the Khitan hanging on the city wall were put down by the soldiers in the city and thrown outside the city wall.

Shi Yue shouted to the Liao soldiers under the city instead of Zhou Nan: "Zhuozhou is now our General Zhou's, and we will be the Wansheng Army from now on!" ”

Suddenly, the soldiers on the city wall and inside the city wall raised their arms and shouted, "General Zhou!" General Zhou! "Wan Shengjun! Wan Shengjun! ”

Six big flags were played out on the head of the city, and the old flags were torn down and thrown away, and the soldiers in the city were even more imposing. Xiao Gan knew that Zhou Nan had completely controlled Zhuozhou City, not to mention the five thousand elite soldiers he brought out at the moment, even if there were five thousand more people, it would not be easy to break through Zhuozhou.

Seeing that if he stayed any longer, he would only be ridiculed, Xiao Gan pointed at Zhou Nan on horseback and shouted: "In this way, I will wait for you in Yanjing City to see if you have the courage to come." I'll come back to you and other troublemakers when I'm free! Withdrawal! ”

Today, Xiao Gan was really embarrassed from beginning to end, put down a few words, turned around and left. The army behind him also slowly changed its formation and began to retreat.

As soon as he saw that Xiao Gan was leading the army to withdraw, Shi Yue took the lead and shouted: "King Xiao go slowly, don't send it!" ”

Everyone in the city and under the city shouted: "King Xiao go slowly, don't send it!" ”

This voice will definitely be able to send Xiao Gan ten miles away, but Xiao Gan's army does not look back, and rushes to the road.

Shi Yue and the generals laughed, the officers and soldiers led by Xiao Gan, the king of the Fourth Army, were menacing, but they didn't expect to be sent away by General Zhou with a few words and flags. The commanders and leaders of the former victorious army couldn't help but look at Zhou Nan with admiration, which of the previous wars was not desperate with their heads, who would have thought that they could really surrender without a fight, it seems that following General Zhou is with the right person.

Zhou Nan saw that Xiao Gan led the army away, and instructed Shi Yue: "Since you have set up the military flag and the general flag today, and retreated Xiao Gan, you must reward the whole army!" ”

Shi Yue nodded in response: "The last general understands!" ”

Only then did Zhou Nan take Han Gui and Ma Daqiu, still escorted by the cavalry, and returned to the Left-behind Mansion. He also ordered someone to call Zhao Heshou and ordered him to send someone to bury Guo Yaoshi. Zhen Wuchen had already been killed in prison, and none of the four former officials of Chang Shengjun were now gone.

After dinner, Zhou Nan wrote the letter, asked Zuo Xiaosi to return to the cottage quickly, and handed the letter to Lao Zheng Tou, seeing the letter, they would naturally know what to do.

Zuo Xiaosi asked with a smile: "Da Lang, now that Zhuozhou and Yizhou are ours, are you going to lead the troops to fight Yanjing next?" ”

Zhou Nan shook his head and said, "If you fight, you will die, if you don't have to, I won't fight." ”

Zuo Xiaosi asked: "The big officials in Yanjing City are not fools, do you still want to deceive Yanjing?" ”

Zhou Nan's face was full of sinisterness, and he said: "You can't deceive this time, you have to scare them away!" ”
