The ambush battle in Dongtang Village successfully ate the 10,000 horses of Jingzhong, the envoy of Qinghe Tianshui Jiedu, thanks to its perfect terrain and seamless strategy, none of the soldiers from the Jiedu to the small soldiers missed the net.

In fact, this ambush site was first discovered by Ma Ling when he was exploring along the way, and after Wen Huanzhang and others saw it, they also felt that this place was excellent, so they spent money to rent the houses of dozens of families in the village. Their original plan was to set up an ambush at both ends of the road, and then drive the officers and soldiers into this pass, and finally tie the bag mouth. What he didn't expect was that Jing Zhong did an evil thing in Tongcheng Town, which brought greater convenience to this matter. Ma Ling has been watching the actions of Qinghe's officers and soldiers all the way, and after he discovered the changes in Zhang Qin's family, he keenly sensed that there was an opportunity to take advantage of this matter, and immediately rushed back to Dongtang Village to report to Wen Huanzhang, and they immediately adjusted their plans.

After that, everything went down step by step according to the plan they set. That Jing Zhong is a shallow martial artist, and there is Wen Huanzhang's opponent, but he is pitiful that thousands of innocent soldiers accompany him, but he has become a ghost under the knife.

At dawn, Ma Ling came again to report that Xu Jing's army had approached Tongcheng in Taiyuan Shangdang Jiedu. Wen Huanzhang immediately called the four regiment commanders, Guo Sheng, Yang Zhi, Gu Bo, and Wang Yu, to discuss countermeasures.

"Xu Jing had a friend with me when he was in Hebei more than ten years ago, when he was a nurse teacher in Guojiazhuang, Zezhou, and met Yun Niang, a woman who sold the solution, and fell in love with each other and became husband and wife. Zhi Yunniang committed suicide. At that time, Zhang Shouli was angry with Xu Jing and designed to sentence him to death. I felt his character and martial arts, and changed from mediation to distribution. Later, I heard that he had escaped from exile, but I didn't expect him to be an official now. The main reason for my coming this time is also on him, but he is now a noble envoy, but it is not a matter of words to convince me, and I am ready to set up an ambush here again, and have a first salute with him. ”

How to deal with Xu Jing, Wen Huanzhang already had an idea, and at this time, his army was in front of him, so he proposed it to discuss with everyone.

"Sir, this method is very proper, this person has been in a high position and pampered for a long time, and he will not easily obey these 'grass cowards' such as me, but only when he is in danger, then persuade him or it may be more effective."

"Just as Brother Yang Zhi said, let's subdue him first and I'm afraid that he won't surrender, Jing Zhong's 10,000 people, I haven't had a chance to make a move."

Ji Sheng shouted at the end of Yang Zhi's words, what this guy was most worried about was that there was no battle to fight, for fear that the officers and soldiers of these two roads would surrender obediently, and let him go out for nothing.

"It's so good, the two battalions of Gu Bo and Xie Zhen stayed in Dongtang Village, Yang Zhi, Lu Fang, and Zou Yuan guarded the back road, and Ji Sheng, Wang Yu, and Geng Gong blocked the front road."

Wen Huanzhang saw that everyone had no objections, and immediately made a battle plan, and soon after, Ma Ling and Zhang Qin, who had left behind last night, went back to Tongcheng Town.

And said that Taiyuan Shangdang Jie Du made Xu Jing receive the imperial court military order, all the way to hurry slowly, this day at noon to the ground of Jiyin, after entering a small town, the army is burying the pot to cook, but listen to the personal guard to report, there are local gentry in front of the labor army, he heard the report, then got up to welcome out.

After a while, a guard led a man in his thirties, pushing several carts of melons, fruits, grains, chickens, ducks, and fish, and saw the young man who was the first to say respectfully:

"Zhang Qin, a township clerk in Xiatong Township, heard that the army went to Jeju to suppress bandits, and specially prepared a thin gift to come to the labor army."

Xu Jing was taken aback when he heard this, and he couldn't help asking, "How do you know that we are going to Jeju to suppress bandits?" ”

"But it was said by General Jing Zhong that the Qinghe Tianshui Festival passed by yesterday, so the villain had already prepared a thin gift and waited here."

It was the rumor of Jing Zhongtou! Xu Jing couldn't help but secretly say that this guy is also talkative, and after thinking for a while, he asked:

"When did General Jing Zhong leave yesterday and take that road?"

"But yesterday, it was the official road in the southeast."

Xu Jingjian said, silently calculated in his heart, and felt that if he accelerated the speed of the march, he might be able to catch up, so he accepted the gift and thanked Zhang Qin and the others, and after lunch, he ordered the troops to go along the southeast official road.

Dongtang Village and Tongcheng Town are only five miles away, more than half an hour more than 10,000 troops all entered the narrow valley, and soon after the front passed Dongtang Village, only to hear the front number one cannon shook the sky, and then thousands of horses came out of a valley, blocking the road in front of the road tightly. Xu Jing couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the report, who was so bold that he dared to rob his army of more than 10,000 people! When he hurried to the front army, another sergeant of the rear army came to report, saying that there was also a large number of unknown troops behind, and at this time he began to feel that the situation was extraordinary, and immediately ordered the rear army to form a formation on the spot to defend without moving lightly, and he patted his horse out to the front of the formation to see what was going on.

The valley road from Tongcheng to Jeju was only five or six zhang wide, and when Xu Jing arrived in front of the battle, the valley in front of him was full of soldiers in armor, and even the hills on both sides were full of ambushes armed with bows and arrows. He couldn't help but be even more confused, these people didn't look like ordinary mountain bandits, but who were they?

"There are officers and soldiers from Taiyuan in front, quickly call Xu Jing to come over and die!"

Let's say that when Xu Jingzheng was surprised, he saw the other party come out of the formation, and a big black man sat on the horse with a Xuanhua axe, pointing at this side and scolding by name.

"Who are you waiting for? Do you dare to block the way of the imperial army, and you are not afraid of death without a place to be buried! ”

Xu Jingti immediately took two steps forward, pointed at the big man and scolded angrily.

"Hey, hey! Grandpa Xing doesn't change his name or sit or change his surname, he is the victory of Liangshan Manor, didn't you come to kill me, hurry up and come over to see the real chapter. ”

It turned out to be a thief from Liangshan! Xu Jing only understood the identity of the other party at this time, and couldn't help but sigh that this thief in Liangshan was really strong, and he dared to go far away to intercept it, no wonder the previous conquest armies were not his opponents. At this time, he suddenly remembered the 10,000 Qinghe army that had just passed in front of him, could it be that they had ...... In an instant, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his body.

"Who's going to take down this madman?"

Xu Jing didn't dare to think about it for a while, so he wanted to open the passage as soon as possible, so he immediately sent people to meet him. However, to his surprise, none of the three deputy generals who had come out of the battle was the enemy of the big man's five combinations, and before the time of Zhuxiang, all three of them were captured.

"Hugh wants to let the incompetent come to their deaths, and those who have the courage to come up!"

When Xu Jingzheng was shocked, he saw the big man pointing at him and shouting, he was on fire for a while, grabbed his spear and entered the horse, and the two were fighting together in the valley.

I saw that the one with the spear came out of the water like a poisonous dragon, and the one with the axe came down the mountain like an evil tiger, and I didn't feel that the two of them had fought for forty or fifty rounds.

"The old general is brave, and I will try ten axes again."

Let's say that the victory is extraordinary in martial arts, and I can't imagine that I can't win in the face of a fifty-year-old man who fights a lot, and I can't help but feel respectful, and my tone is also a lot more respectful.

However, at this time, Xu Jing was already at the end of the crossbow, after all, he was twice as old as the other party, and he was gradually invincible under several axes in a row, and when he was crumbling, he suddenly saw Liangshan quickly come out in front of the formation, and saw him shouting:

"Brother Katsu! Exercise restraint! ”

Let's say that Ji Sheng was excited, and suddenly heard a call, and suddenly woke up this person, but Mr. Wen repeatedly explained that he could not hurt him, and for a while he hurriedly retracted his strength and took back the student who was bound to win.

"General Xu, don't come unharmed!"

That Xu Jing thought that he was in a catastrophe, but he didn't expect that someone from the other party's array ran out to save him. When his mind was full of confusion, he saw the man pat his horse and greet him, he was surprised for a moment, but he recognized it as the benefactor of the year, and couldn't help but ask in surprise:

"Why is Mr. Wen here?"

"This matter is a long story, and the two armies were not the place to talk before, whether the general can let the army camp temporarily, we will talk about it slowly."

"The current situation ......"

"It doesn't matter, the army before and after this can be the master, so let it stay put."

At this time, Xu Jing already understood that this Mr. Wen must be an important person in Liangshan Manor, thinking that his army was now surrounded in the valley, and the other party was strong, so he regarded himself as martial

Yi Bufan was beaten by the other party's big man and had no power to fight back, and it seemed that it was not so easy to break through, so he agreed.

A moment later, Xu Jing followed Wen Huanzhang to the courtyard of Dongtang Village, and the two sat next to each other, and in the faint aroma of tea, they started a conversation that decided to take the lives of thousands of people.

"How did Mr. Wen go to Liangshan?"

As soon as Xu Jing sat down, he asked this most urgent question.

"After Zezhou, I left the officialdom, and since then I have been living in Anren Village, Tokyo, until three years ago, the Kansai hero Zhou Dong came to the village to invite me to Jingdong, and then the two of us accepted the little officials of Yuncheng Gujiazhuang as apprentices, and since then they have been in Liangshan Manor."

"This little official is Gu Haotian of Liangshan today?"

"That's the man!"

Xu Jing was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and Wen Huanzhang's definite answer gave him too much shock. The thieves who were repeatedly encircled and suppressed by the imperial court turned out to be the disciples of Zhou Dong and Wen Huanzhang, two famous figures in the world, and it is no wonder that they have suffered repeated failures. But he is a person with vision, but what he sees is a deeper problem behind it, how can such two characters support the disciple to do such a thing? So after a moment's hesitation, he asked:

"Sir is full of poetry and books, what is the truth of loyalty and patriotism is much better than that of a rough man like me, I would like to know how you and Zhou Daxia can support your disciple in such a rebellious way?"

"If you equate loyalty to the monarch and patriotism with great rebellion, but now I have a different idea, everyone in the world who has a little conscience knows that patriotism and protection of the family is the heart of people, and no one will doubt this matter. But the loyal monarch should be another matter, if everyone in the world is loyal to the king of a dynasty, then how can the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, there will be no Zhou Chai family, according to the general, Qin Shi Huang, Han Gaozu, Sui Yang Emperor, Tang Taizong, including the Zhou Dynasty Taizu are all great rebels. Therefore, loyalty to the king is not foolish loyalty, but loyalty to the king of the promising and the king of the people. ”

"Sir, do you think that the Son of Heaven is not worthy of allegiance that day?"

"What does General Xu think?"

"I ......"

Xu Jing was asked a rhetorical question by Wen Huanzhang, and he choked at that time, his own experience, as well as what he saw and heard in the officialdom, had already given a very clear answer, and there was no doubt about it. In fact, how could a person like him, who was born at the bottom, who was oppressed, and who was born as a bandit, be loyal to the royal family! What he was thinking about at the moment was nothing more than the high position and hard-won wealth that he had won for many years, which made him dare not make a decision easily.

"Sir, how can you conclude that the petty officials of Liangshan Manor are worthy of allegiance?"

Wen Huanzhang saw him ask this question, and his heart was already half at ease, because at least he had no feelings for the Chai family's royal family. At that moment, he told Gu Haotian's various actions, as well as his own views and those of Zhou Tong and others.

"This young man is undoubtedly a man of destiny, and we all regard him as the pillar of our Han Dynasty, so we gather around him to fight when the building is about to fall, and leave a little more life for our descendants of Yan and Huang. General Xu should know that I, Wen Huanzhang, am not an ignorant person, and Zhou Dong Daxia will not be an ignorant person, not to mention that there are countless wise people in this manor, and they can't all gather in that small manor for no reason. The general and the subordinate are old in the past, so today we are here to wait, such as Jing Zhong and others have long been the souls of the sword, so where to go, but please decide. ”

"More than 10,000 people in Jing Zhong are gone!"

Xu Jingzheng was shocked by Wen Huanzhang's words, and suddenly heard that Jing Zhong was already a dead soul under the knife, and involuntarily blurted out a question.

"That Jing Zhong died in the chaos last night, but it's a pity that thousands of good men were affected by him, and now they are all buried under the fields in front of him, and I hope that the general will not follow his old path, so that he can leave a trace of blood for our Han family."

Xu Jing saw that after thinking about it for a long time, he finally made a choice, he respectfully saluted Wen Huanzhang, and then said:

"Mr. is so dedicated to me, if Xu Jing doesn't wake up again, wouldn't he be a fool, and he is willing to return to Liangshan and serve the ancient petty officials."

At this point, the army of the North Route persuaded one army to destroy the other, and successfully defused the two incoming enemies.
