Lie Shantong is not as easy to be enthusiastic as Luo You, Ji Gang, these generals, Zhang Poxiao said passionately, but the opportunity is fleeting, rather than shouting slogans, it is better to take practical action, of course, the face still has to be a leader to get by.

He said a few good words to Zhang Poxiao, and then discussed what he was thinking in his heart these days with Zhang Poxiao.

Healing is important, but the military affairs over there must not be slackened, otherwise by the time the matter here is over, Tianluo Hall will already be in charge of Nanzhao County.

Lie Shantong frowned, his heart was heavy, Zhang Poxiao saw his appearance, and asked with some doubts: "I see that Lie Junshi is a little worried, are you worried about something?" ”

"My lord, I plan to do so, you and I came out to seek medical treatment, but the things in the army should not be left unattended, we have received the letters brought by the army in the past few days, it is advisable to arrange it as soon as possible, now the sky is changing, we should also take Xunzhou into our pockets." Lie Shantong said.

Hearing him say that he was a little surprised when he talked about Xunzhou, it was because he was afraid that his father-in-law was still in the Tatian Alliance, and now his father-in-law broke with them, so there is no such thing as affection, and now there is only Liu Jin in the Tatian League, and Gao Yi has already entered the mountain to be the king of the mountain under Li Fenglin's discord before.

When Lie Shantong talked about the matter in Xunzhou, he thought that this military advisor must have a plan.

"Could it be that the military division wants to attack Xunzhou? I made my fortune from the Treading Heaven Alliance, and if I go to attack now, I am afraid of being laughed at and infamy. Zhang Poxiao said.

Lie Shantong smiled slightly and said, "Although the lord can rest assured, no one knows about this matter. ”

"Oh? The military advisor said come and listen. ”

"Xunzhou's current military strength is not as good as it was at the beginning, and now it is only 50,000 horses, the lord said before that the Treading Heaven Alliance is a group of rabble, such soldiers and horses basically do not have much combat power and are very prone to mutiny, we can let Ji Gang send a small number of people to disguise themselves as robbers to cut off the supply line of the Treading Heaven Alliance, and then let people go to the city to spread the word that we have preferential treatment for the people who take refuge in the Treading Heaven Alliance, in this way, the Treading Heaven Alliance is unstable, we can take the opportunity to persuade to surrender, it is not clear why there is no movement in the Tianluo Palace, Let's just do it ourselves, if there is an emergency and then make a contingency, I will write to Li Fenglin to explain some details, it just so happens that you are not in the barracks, this matter will not be suspected of you. "Lie Shantong has already thought of a plan and told the plan.

"Since the military advisor already has a plan, just do it." Zhang Poxiao agreed with this plan.

Then the group continued to set off, and when they walked to a small town in front, they found an inn and lived in it, the name of this inn is Fugui, a very pleasing name.

That night, Lieshantong wrote a plan to take Xunzhou, tied it to the leg of the accompanying carrier pigeon, and watched the pigeon fly into the air, his eyes sharpened, and he said to himself: "Is it finally coming?" ”

The words were vague and vague, and it was not clear whether he was referring to the coming storm of Tiandu or the end of the calm along the way.

In Long County, Zhangyun Prefecture, Li Fenglin saw a carrier pigeon fly into the camp, sprinkled a handful of millet on the ground, and took advantage of the carrier pigeon to eat, he walked over and grabbed the carrier pigeon, and took down the secret letter.

In the following days, the four generals Luo You, Chu Lan, Liu Zongsheng, and Ji Gang arranged a number of small teams to disguise themselves as bandits and rob many materials of the Xunzhou Treading Heaven Alliance, and Li Fenglin re-entrusts the relationship to find the concubine of Liu Jin who split the Treading Heaven Alliance last time, and asked her to help find a suitable opportunity to talk more about the benefits of the Dawn Army, and gave her a bribe of fifty taels of gold.

In just a few days after such an arrangement, the entire Xunzhou was turned into a miasma, and the people were panicked.

Liu Jin was originally a big old man, but now he heard the constant reports from his subordinates that the bandits in the mountains had robbed grain and grass, and they were also robbing in various county towns, and now the army was short of grain and grass, and it would be out of food in a few days.

This made him so anxious that his mouth was full of bubbles, and he was most afraid of hearing the word food.

The current drought in Xunzhou has not been lifted, Curry's stock of grain in the past few years is not much, the new grain has not yet reached the season, and he can barely eat by relying on the dispatch in and out of the state, but now Quan Xingyang and Gao Yi have left with their subordinates, and their forces are not as strong as before, so they have fallen into such a field.

His favorite concubine proposed more than once that he should go to the Dawn Army, but he thought that there was a rival of Quan Xingyang over there, and he also thought about taking refuge in Tianluo Palace, and people replied, your little power and this group of soldiers had to paste food upside down in the past, in a word: I can't look down on it.

Now he is in a dilemma, why should the soldiers under the food be with you, although he has a few brothers who are determined to follow him, but without food and salary, even survival has become a problem, what do you take to fight hard.

When he stomped his feet in a hurry and stared at a bunch of generals and generals surrounding the living room, he received a letter from Li Fenglin of the Dawn Army.

Li Fenglin said in the letter that he knew that he was unwilling to accept the command of Quan Xingyang, and if he was willing to write a letter of refuge, he would put his handprint on the management of Zhang Poxiao's new dawn army, and promised to immediately let the army send some supplies over to relieve his urgent needs.

Seeing this, Liu Jin felt that this suggestion was feasible, as long as he could keep his team, it was not impossible to change the mountain, this Zhang Poxiao did have some ability, and it was not ashamed to follow him, so he asked the master to write a letter to him to reply.

The content is roughly: I agree with the method you said, but it must be Zhang Poxiao and not Quan Xingyang, and the promised grain and grass must not be delayed, send it quickly, or the team on my side will disperse.

Li Fenglin laughed when he saw his letter, everything was going according to plan, but the current Dawn Army was still nominally Quan Xingyang, so he went to the camp to find Quan Xingyang.

Quan Xingyang was drinking wine, watching the dancing girl twist her body, and shouted from time to time: "Okay." Then I smacked my lips and ate some fruit snacks, which was very comfortable.

When Li Fenglin saw his appearance, he felt a little disgusted in his heart, but for the sake of the general's great cause, he could only endure it and did not show it, he saluted and told Quan Xingyang the purpose of this trip.

When Quan Xingyang heard that he was going to accept the surrender of his rival Liu Jin, he blew up his hair.

He dismissed the dancing girl and the musician, pointed at Li Fenglin's nose and scolded, and scolded him first without asking the reason.

Li Fenglin stood quietly aside and did not answer, and when he finished scolding, he patiently persuaded him: "If you accept Liu Jin's refuge, then Xunzhou is the territory of the Dawn Army, such a big place is much better than nesting in this small county town, and when the time comes, you can go directly to the county capital and station, and you don't need to live in a camp." ”

But Quan Xingyang was still furious, and disagreed with this method, saying: "If you want Xunzhou to lead troops to fight over, the current Dawn Army is strong, why accept his surrender." ”

After Li Fenglin heard what he said, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he said to him: "General Quan, whether you agree or not, we will definitely accept this Liu Jin's surrender, if you don't agree, then I can only let General Zhang accept it, you still have peace of mind to be a general of the Tang Dynasty." ”

After speaking, he brushed his sleeves away, angry and angry, and the sound of falling things came from behind him.

If Zhang Poxiao and Lie Shantong hadn't found him when they set off and kept saying that they wouldn't clash with Quan Xingyang, he would have gone to find Luo You and a few of them, so as not to look at the ugly faces of the Quan family's father and son.

After he went back, he wrote a reply, which said: Zhang Poxiao has agreed to your request, but you need to come to Hualing County in person to send a letter of refuge to show your sincerity, and if you come with the grain and grass, I will transport it back with you.

In this way, Liu Jin rushed to Hualing County with a thousand elites of his subordinates to send the refuge documents, and the matter was known to Quan Xingyang, he called Li Fenglin and scolded him again, and then rushed to Hualing County himself.

Hualing County is the county seat occupied by Luo You, leaving the three counties originally occupied by the Dawn Army, several of them captured the remaining four counties, each stationed to expand the army, waiting for Zhang Poxiao to come back and take over.

Li Fenglin told Luo You in advance about the coming of the Treading Heaven Alliance, and he made arrangements, but he didn't expect Quan Xingyang to come to the county seat in advance, he said that he was the general canonized by the Later Tang Dynasty, and Zhang Poxiao's father-in-law, and the current supreme commander of the Dawn Army.

Luo You hurriedly called someone to send a letter to Li Fenglin and asked him to come and deal with it, but Li Fenglin had not yet arrived, and Liu Jin of Xunzhou led the team to Hualing County one step ahead of schedule.

The garrison outside the county town stopped the 1,000 men and horses, and only agreed that Liu Jin would bring more than a dozen personal guards into the city, and the people had to bow their heads under the eaves, at this time Liu Jin did not know that Zhang Poxiao was not in the army, and Quan Xingyang, whom he hated, was waiting for him.

As soon as Liu Jin stepped into the county office, he was surrounded by groups, and he heard Quan Xingyang's laughter, and one of his personal guards saw that the situation was wrong, and drew his saber to escape from the county government and run outside the city to report the news.

When the army of the Heaven-Stepping Alliance outside the city heard that their general had been captured, it was noisy, and several thousands of households in the team were ready to organize soldiers to attack the city and save people.

The situation is critical, and everything is beyond previous expectations.

Luo You also had nothing to do, only to confront the defenders of the county town and the army outside the city, the situation was extremely critical, and the war was about to break out.

Li Fenglin heard that Quan Xingyang had run to Hualing County, and shouted: "Oops. Hurriedly walked out of the camp tent and asked for a horse, rushed to the county seat, didn't even care about the shoes running away, and scolded Quan Xingyang countless times in his heart.

The two teams of men and horses quarreled with each other, and when they saw that they were about to fight, the army of the Treading Heaven Alliance outside the city saw a person coming on horseback in the distance, and two Wanhu had seen Li Fenglin, and knew that he was the army's military advisor, so they beckoned the soldiers to stop him, and then tied him up.

Luo You, who was upstairs in the county seat, saw that the military advisor was arrested, and ran down the city tower to negotiate with the other party, and the final result of the negotiation was to exchange Liu Jin for Li Fenglin.

Luo You went to find Quan Xingyang again, but General Quan had just tied up the enemy and was about to teach him a few words, out of anger, when he heard that Li Junshi was tied up, he was startled, during this time he knew Li Fenglin's prestige in the army, it can be said that if he has three long and two short, not only Zhang Poxiao will not let him go, the entire Dawn Army will target him, he looked at Luo You fiercely looking at himself, his back was cold, he fully believed that if he did not agree, the person in front of him would definitely kill him, he only gritted his teeth and let Liu Jin go, and he was angry, spit out a mouthful of black blood in a sweet throat, and fainted.

Liu Jin was tied up and was shocked, seeing Quan Xingyang vomiting blood angrily, his face was as frightened as a blank paper, and he thought uneasily: This ancestor, as for you, do we have such a big hatred, isn't it just to drive you out of Xunzhou.

Finally, Li Fenglin was replaced, but Li Fenglin did not return to the county seat, but stayed in the army of the Treading Heaven Alliance outside the city, apologized to Liu Jin, and sincerely explained the reason for the accident.
