Outside Xinfeng City, Hu Zhen garrisoned the camp.

"Haha, it's really good, Li Zhiran personally replied to me, this is really giving me face, about the third night? There is no problem with this, Pei Qing, Pei Qing, your good days are numbered, and when I catch you, I will definitely concoct you well to repay your hatred for humiliating me in the past! ”

Hu Zhen was so happy after receiving Li Wei's reply that he personally reported the good news to Zang Ba.

"Brother Xuangao, Li Zhiran has personally written a reply to me, asking us to surrender to them at the end of the third night, you have to prepare carefully, after three days, we will not only surrender, but also present a big gift to the Xiliang Army, as long as this big gift is offered, no one can shake our position in the Xiliang Army."

"Oh? I don't know what the gift is? Zang Ba sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be at a loss and asked Hu Zhen.

Hu Zhen smiled mysteriously: "At that time, you will naturally know, anyway, it is a good thing that is enough to guarantee that we will be honored, and you will wait to drink the celebration bar." ”

Zang Ba was displeased and said: "Brother Hu, we have reached the point where we are now, I didn't expect you to treat me Zang Ba as your own person, it seems that everything is my wishful thinking, but think about it, you are a general of Xiliang, and you are your own person with them, and I Zang Ba is an outsider after all, and it is also appropriate to be untrustworthy." ”

"Haha, Brother Xuangao, look at what you said, although you are not from Liangzhou, but Brother Wei has never treated you as an outsider, but has always regarded you as my own good brother, what you said just now really wronged me, okay, since you want to know, then I will tell you, I agreed with Li Zhiran that on the day we surrendered, I would deceive Pei Qing out of the city, and when the time came, we would attack Pei Qing with Li Zhiran, compared to our sudden joint attack, Pei Qing would definitely be in turmoil, In this way, even if he does not die, he will no longer be able to defend Xinfeng, and at the same time, Guo Yan also led the army to take the opportunity to attack Xinfeng County, if nothing else, we will not only hit hard, capture or kill Pei Qing in this battle, but also take Xinfeng City, as long as Xinfeng is taken, will Chang'an be far away? ”

"What?" Hearing Hu Zhen's words, Zang Ba couldn't help but shudder, he didn't expect the other party to set such a poisonous plan, fortunately he was known in advance, otherwise I am afraid it would be really dangerous this time.

So Zang Ba dealt with Hu Zhen with sweet words, and immediately after Hu Zhen left, he wrote a letter to Pei Qing, shot him into the city with a bow and arrow, and informed Pei Qing of the news.

Pei Qing has actually been paying attention to the outside of the city, especially ordering someone to wait for Zang Ba's news, so he got the letter as soon as Zang Ba shot into the secret letter.

After reading it, Pei Qing nodded and said silently: "In order to be able to hear the news in time, Xuan Gao even pretended to be in the same boat as Hu Zhen, but fortunately, we were able to find out the accurate news." ”

Then Pei Qing ordered the officers and men of the whole army to rest in batches for two days, and at the same time strengthen the city defenses to prepare for the upcoming battle.

In order to ensure that Xinfeng could be saved, Pei Qing also specially ordered Li Su's army to stay in the city and assist Xu Rong in defending the city together, and specifically emphasized that with Xu Rong as the main general, Li Su must obey Xu Rong's dispatch.

After everything was fully prepared, Pei Qing received a letter from Hu Zhen, saying that he had heard that Li Dao Guo Yan's army had been stationed twenty miles away from Xinfeng City, and that he had already surrendered to Li Dao, and invited Li Dao to surrender to a dense forest ten miles outside the city tonight.

Pei Qing sneered when he saw his confidence, but he was very surprised on the surface, and said to Hu Zhen's envoy: "I didn't expect General Hu to be able to do this, if I can defeat Li Dao, I will definitely personally ask for credit for General Hu, you go back and tell General Hu that I will definitely go outside the city on time." ”

"What? Pei Qing really said that? Haha, it seems that this guy is nothing more than that, he will be fooled so easily, Pei Qing, Pei Qing, I will definitely want you to fly this time! ”

Hu Zhen was overjoyed when he got the news, he immediately forwarded Pei Qing's letter to Zang Ba, and said with a smile: "Brother Xuangao, Pei Qing has promised to come, this time we will definitely make great contributions, and it will depend on your performance tonight." ”

"There is no problem, Ba is willing to repay the general's kindness with death." Zang Ba secretly sneered, I really don't know where this Hu Zhen got his confidence? is so stupid that he dares to learn from others to play conspiracy.

That night, the two sides were united, and Hu Zhen's generals lined up outside the dense forest early, waiting for the arrival of Pei Qing and Li Wei's army.

The first to come was of course Pei Qing, in fact, Pei Qing's army arrived an hour earlier than the agreed time, he led the crowd to ambush in the dense forest according to the agreement, quietly waiting for the arrival of Li Dao's army, after a short time, Li Dao's army had already arrived, Li Dao was in high spirits and waited for Hu Zhen to surrender.

However, as soon as Hu Zhen came to him, he saw Zang Ba on the side immediately draw his sword and stab at him from the side, and shouted loudly: "The Governor and General Hu have an order, kill Li Dao, get the title of the Marquis of Guannei, reward 1,000 horses, 10 million money, brothers, kill." ”

Li Dao was not prepared at this time, but fortunately, his personal soldiers stepped forward in time to block Zang Ba, and Li Dao was not injured, but he was also very embarrassed, panting and standing behind his personal soldiers, and said coldly: "Hu Zhen, what's going on?" ”

Hu Zhen was also stunned when he heard this, and shouted at Zang Ba: "Zang Xuangao, what the hell is going on?" Are you going crazy? ”

Zang Ba was taken aback when he heard this, and said in surprise: "General Hu, isn't this your order?" Let the last general burst out to assassinate Li Dao when we surrendered, why do you say this now? ”

At the same time, someone behind Hu Zhen suddenly released a cold arrow, Li Wei saw this and hurriedly dodged, although he successfully dodged the sneak attack, but he was also very embarrassed, at this time he couldn't care about anything else, and immediately shouted at Hu Zhen: "Hmph, what a Hu Zhen, I still think you are a good person, I didn't expect to dare to do this to me, today I will let you die without a place to bury, come here, kill me!" ”

Hu Zhen panicked when he saw this, and he explained again and again: "General, don't listen to his nonsense, I am sincere to the Xiliang Army." ”

However, at this time, another cold arrow flew in, this time directly at Li Dao's throat, and at the critical moment, fortunately one of his personal soldiers sacrificed his life to knock him down, so he was not hit by the arrow.

Li Wei got up in embarrassment, was furious, and said sharply: "Hu Zhen, at this time, do you think I will still believe you?" You have put cold arrows on me twice and three times, and today you will also taste it! ”

Then he took out his bow and arrows and shot an arrow at Hu Zhen, who was in a panic at the time, and had no defense at all, and was killed by an arrow.

"Why, how can this be?" Hu Zhen's eyes widened, he didn't expect things to come to this point.

Zang Ba on the side saw that Hu Zhen was killed, and immediately shouted: "Brothers, go up together and avenge General Hu!" ”

After saying that, Zang Ba led his army to kill him immediately.

Due to the constraints, the soldiers under Hu Zhen's command didn't know what was going on, they saw that their master was about to die, and Zang Ba led them to attack, claiming to avenge the main general, and they all killed together, of course, there were actually a few of them who knew the roots, but before they could react, they were killed by Zang Ba's people taking advantage of the chaos, of course, this account was also counted on the head of the Xiliang army.

At the same time, I could only hear an earth-shattering shouting of killing behind Li Daojun, and it turned out that Pei Qing had gone around the back of Xiliangjun at some point and killed them at the same time.

"Damn, fooled, break through with me." Li Dao is actually not stupid, he quickly reacted that he had fallen for Pei Qing, but now there is no way, because Hu Zhen is dead, the misunderstanding has been completed, and the explanation has no effect at all, so he had to order a breakthrough.
