After leaving Ping'an City, Du Jia asked people to count the casualties, because they were all very smooth before, they did not encounter much resistance, and they did not carry out the slaughter of the city in the later period, so there were only less than one casualties in total, and they have been properly settled.

Shi Jin muttered at this time: "It's so easy to take down this city, and let it out as soon as it changes hands, Jia Shao is really generous." ”

Du Jia smiled: "Shi Dalang, you don't have to worry, we are just leaving temporarily, this city will still be ours in a month, and if we don't hand over the city to Zhao Nan, how many people will be left here?" ”

Shi Jin frowned and calculated: "Leave a battalion of men and horses? No, it's definitely not enough for such a big city to have only five hundred people, at least two battalions or more, but if we leave two battalions of people, we won't be able to fight Texas Mansion anymore, I understand, Jia Shao, you are really cunning, oh no, it's wise, obviously we don't have enough manpower to make those guys think they trust them completely, hehe. ”

Du Jia scolded with a smile: "Just be smart, say a few words, everyone have a good rest, tomorrow we will continue to deal with the Texas Mansion, it's not okay if you don't recuperate, hehe." ”

Everyone also bypassed this bend at this time, and only then began to fully taste the joy of this great victory, at this time it is definitely not possible to drink, but it is naturally indispensable to eat a meal and brag to each other, especially when everyone has made a lot of money, this is a great pleasure.

Until the sun in the west was about to sink to the mountain, Du Jia asked his subordinates to take the letter of help from Yao Shu, the governor of Mengzhou Prefecture, and went to Dezhou City, the choice of this time is also very mysterious, if you go early, if the other party sends troops immediately, the sky is still bright, and it is too late to go, and they may be ready tomorrow morning - both of these situations are not conducive to a sneak attack on the city gate, and if you go now, there is a chance that they will send troops at night, which is naturally excellent.

Then, as with the previous deal with the Ping'an Mansion, the cavalry was ambushed on the side of the road, and the infantry lurked not far from both sides of the city gate.

When the generals were bored while waiting, they naturally began to discuss the question of who went first and who came later, and this time there was no special situation like Luan Tingyu, and everyone naturally refused to give in, except for Du Jia and Lin Chong, who were excluded as soon as they came up again.

Of course, everyone is actually half-joking and half-serious, which to some extent also shows that their confidence in this battle is completely abusive, but everyone is fighting and seeing that the East is white, then Texas City has no movement at all, and it is unusually quiet.

At this moment, everyone was a little impatient, Qin Ming scolded angrily: "What did this bird prefect do, didn't he want to send troops to help, he was too bold, and he dared to disobey the order of the Qingzhou governor?" Don't you want to mess around! ”

Qin Ming's words are quite the majesty of the former Qingzhou Soldiers and Horses, although his status cannot be compared with the prefect of Dezhou Prefecture, but he is an out-and-out superior department, and the prefects in the past really dare not be rude to him, after all, he is a person who can talk to Murong Zhizhou.

Of course, now that he is already a thief, and he is also on the blacklist of Murong Zhizhou, if he dares to go to other prefectures, he will be arrested and beaten immediately.

Hua Rong was also puzzled: "It won't be, according to intelligence, this Texas prefect Wang Ying is a cunning person, who has risen all the way up by slapping his beard, and he will never dare to disobey the orders from above, is there any accident?" Is it that our people have been seen to be flawed? ”

Lin Chong groaned: "Probably not, our messenger is a fine person, and he has already been to Ping'an Mansion once, only more experience, besides, the letter for help is true, Wang Ying and they have no possibility of discovering it, Jia Shao, what do you think?" ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on Du Jia, Du Jia couldn't figure out the various reasons, but he couldn't show his anxiety or helplessness in front of everyone, he smiled calmly and said: "Anything can happen on this battlefield, don't worry, and wait patiently for a while, I think the possibility of the other party seeing through it is extremely small, otherwise the city would have strengthened its guards." ”

Everyone nodded silently, feeling reasonable, and after less than half an hour, the sky was already completely bright, and the infantry led by Wu Song and them could no longer hide their figures, and it was easy to be sent by the guards in the city if they stayed any longer, so they had to quietly retreat back.

The cavalry generals also sighed secretly, it seemed that this night had been hard in vain, and at this time, Hua Rong, who had the best eyesight, suddenly whispered: "Look, the city gate is finally open." ”

Everyone was overjoyed, and hurriedly looked in the direction that Hua Rong pointed, and sure enough, the gate of the Texas Mansion, which had been closed all night, finally opened slowly, and the suspension bridge was also lowered, and then a team of people and horses were neatly divided into two columns and came out side by side, led by a one-eyed general in black armor, holding a big knife more than a foot long in his hand.

This person's information is also in the hands of Liang Shan, it is a regimental training envoy in Texas Han Feng, who is nicknamed the Thunderbolt Knife, strong in martial arts, ranking first in the entire Dezhou Mansion, but he is not good at slapping horses, and there is no big backer, so he has not been able to rise to the position of commander, in fact, he is far stronger than the commander in terms of martial arts and merits, and that eye was shot blind when he exterminated the nearby Black Tiger Mountain strongman a few years ago, but unfortunately in the end, the credit was divided by the commander lying in his hometown.

Why did they send troops at this time? It turned out to be the idea of the prefect Wang Ying, this kid is cunning, he is a master who can only take advantage of the advantage, and after receiving the letter of help sent by Liangshan yesterday, he did not doubt the authenticity of the letter, because he had a good relationship with Yao Shu, and the other party's handwriting and seals were familiar with it, but when he interrogated with the messenger, he learned that the Ping'an Mansion on the other side also received the letter for help, and this guy muttered.

In his opinion, if the troops are sent overnight, it is dangerous, and the black light is easy to be ambushed by the Liangshan thieves, and secondly, he calculates again, whoever sends the troops first will inevitably attract the attention of Liangshan first, and a fierce battle will definitely be inevitable at that time, and the loss must be not small at that time, on the contrary, if you set off again until dawn, it will not be easy to be ambushed, and secondly, if Liangshan and Ping'an Mansion reinforcements fight first, it will definitely consume a lot, and at this time, his people will definitely be at ease and wait for work, and win a big victory, so isn't it the best of both worlds?

Bow down to the sun all your life
