In the tent of the hussar general He Guangzong, Wang Ben asked He Guangzong in a deep voice: "General He, General Li, why don't you let the infantry follow behind the cavalry troops and take the opportunity to kill the camp of the rebels in Suzhou?" If our hundreds of thousands of infantry can follow up in time, maybe we will be able to defeat the main force of the Suzhou rebels outside the Turngate Pass tonight and solve the danger in the capital this time! ”

Hussar General Li Hong snorted coldly and said, "General Wang, the imperial court has appointed General He and General Ben as the commanders and deputy commanders of this million-strong army, as for how we command the army, there is no need to explain to you!" ”

Although the hussar general Li Hong was also a little dissatisfied with the indecision of the hussar general He Guangzong, if He Guangzong could accept his suggestion and send hundreds of thousands of infantry from the imperial court to follow up and expand the results of this night attack, maybe he could really defeat the main force of the Suzhou rebels under the revolving gate pass tonight as Wang Ben said, and eliminate the crisis in the capital this time, but Li Hong and He Guangzong are both members of the thirteenth family after all, and they still maintain the same in many aspects.

He Guangzong immediately sighed at Wang Ben and said, "General Wang, the million-strong army we have gathered here is very important to the imperial court, so General Ben has to act cautiously. ”

Then He Guangzong changed the topic and asked the hussar general Li Hong, "How much did the cavalry that attacked tonight lose?" ”

Li Hong said in a deep voice: "More than 70,000 cavalry only came back more than 45,000 people, and about 25,000 people were lost. ”

Wang Ben pursed his lips with some disdain and didn't say anything more, but he made up his mind in his heart that the soldiers of the Broken Capture Army he led this time would definitely not attack easily in the future, and if they encountered an incompetent commander like He Guangzong, their thousands of Broken Soldiers would be easily killed.

At this time, Luo Youpeng, the Taishou of Ganmeng County in Yuzhou, who was among the rebels of the Seventeenth Route Suppression, said: "No matter what, we have won tonight's night attack, and the losses of the rebels in Suzhou are definitely more than our losses of 25,000 people!" ”

If it weren't for the first collapse of the army of Ganmeng County, the revolving gate pass would not have been easily occupied by the rebels in Suzhou, in fact, the reason why the army of Ganmeng County collapsed so quickly had a lot to do with Luo Youpeng taking the lead in escaping.

However, Luo Youpeng is the brother-in-law of Han Renji, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and in the end this matter can only be resolved, Luo Youpeng this time with more than 10,000 defeated soldiers, also followed to the north of the revolving gate pass, and has the intention of taking the opportunity to save his reputation in it, of course, the premise is that the million army gathered by the imperial court this time can defeat the Suzhou Xiang army of the revolving gate pass.

Hussar General He Guangzong smiled and said: "What Luo Taishou said is extremely true, this general will report to the imperial court early tomorrow morning, and also increase some confidence for the people in the capital." ”

At the same time, in the tent of Zhang Mingqi, the commander of the Suzhou Xiang Army, Zhang Mingqi asked Zhou Jiling with a gloomy face: "Have the losses been counted?" ”

Zhou Jiling said with a solemn face: "Back to the lord, I have roughly counted the eight guards in the camp under the revolving gate, and the losses are at least more than 60,000, and the specific losses are still being counted, maybe the real casualties will be more than 60,000." ”

Zhang Mingqi then asked in a deep voice: "What about Zhang Shaohua?" Where is Zhang Shaohua now? ”

Zhou Jiling hesitated for a moment and said: "Lord, according to the reactions of some soldiers, Zhang Shaohua didn't know what was crazy, and he actually protected a small group of court cavalry that was deeply encircled, and rushed out of our camp, that small group of court cavalry should be the cavalry of the Broken Army, and dozens of soldiers of our army died at the hands of Zhang Shaohua, maybe Zhang Shaohua betrayed our Suzhou Xiang Army!" ”

Zhang Mingqi slammed his fist on the wooden table in front of him, and then shouted angrily: "Send someone to find Zhang Shaohua immediately, Zhang Shaohua has a tendon in his head, how could he easily betray our Suzhou Xiang Army, it is likely that he fell for some trick of the Broken Army, he must find Zhang Shaohua back!" ”

Zhang Mingqi could never have imagined that Zhang Shaohua's tendon is a tendon, but Zhang Shaohua's tendon is manifested in obeying the master's last order and insisting on joining the Jue'an army.

Zhou Jiling immediately said: "Don't worry, my lord, I have already sent someone to find Zhang Shaohua, if you live to see people die, you will see corpses!" ”

Zhang Mingqi snorted coldly and said: "A peerless general like Zhang Shaohua, who can kill him!" Be sure to find Zhang Shaohua and bring him back to the official's side! ”

Zhou Jiling smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, lord!" ”

Next, Zhang Mingqi asked Tang Yan, the most trusted advisor to him: "Come and don't be rude, the army of the imperial court will rob the camp, and our Suzhou Xiang army will also rob the camp, and this official is going to launch a night attack on the camp of the imperial court, what does Mr. Tang think?" ”

Strategist Tang Yan pondered for a while and said: "Lord, there is still more than an hour left to dawn tonight, if we want to rob the camp, my subordinates think that it can be placed tomorrow night, but after dawn, we should mobilize troops to take the initiative to call the imperial army to paralyze the imperial army and cover up our intention to prepare to rob the camp at night." ”

Zhang Mingqi nodded, "Just do what Mr. Tang wants!" ”

On the morning of September 16, 428 of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Suzhou Xiang Army dispatched nearly 500,000 troops from eight guards and came to the outside of the imperial court camp.

The hussar general He Guangzong and the hussar general Li Hong learned that the Suzhou Xiang army had dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops, probably to avenge last night's revenge, and the two were worried that the imperial court camp was too simple to resist the attack of the Suzhou Xiang army, so the two quickly mobilized a large number of imperial troops and went out of the camp to meet the Suzhou Xiang army.

When the two armies set up their respective positions, Wang Bo, the general under Zhou Jiling, under the instruction of Zhang Mingqi and Zhou Jiling, urged the horse to come to the front of the two armies and roared loudly: "The rat on the opposite side sent a man who counts!" ”

Dou Bing, the general of the cavalry in front of the imperial army, immediately said to the hussar general He Guangzong: "General He, my subordinates go up and take a look, what moths does the Suzhou rebels want to make?" ”

Hussar General He Guangzong nodded and said, "General Dou be more careful, beware of the Suzhou rebels!" ”

Dou Bing, the general of the cavalry, urged the horse to come to the front of the two armies, with a long knife in his hand, and shouted loudly to Wang Bo: "The thief in Suzhou, Dou Bing is here!" ”

Wang Bo saw that the imperial court had sent Dou Bing out, his attitude became much more respectful, and he hugged his fist at Dou Bing and said, "Wang Bo has seen General Dou, and our Suzhou Xiangjun wants to make a deal with you!" ”

"Deal? Hmph - our court will not make any more deals with you rebels! Dou Bing, the general of the cavalry, snorted coldly.

Wang Bo said with a smile: "Last night's battle, plus the battle of our Suzhou Xiang army to capture the revolving gate pass, we captured a total of nearly 15,000 people from your side, and our Suzhou Xiang army wants to use these nearly 15,000 prisoners of war in exchange for one person who was captured by you." ”

It turned out that after a careful search by tens of thousands of people in Suzhou, Zhang Shaohua was not found in the end, so Zhang Shaohua was likely to have entered the camp of the imperial court.

Zhang Mingqi, the commander of the Suzhou Xiang Army, regarded Zhang Shaohua, a peerless general, as a treasure, so the Suzhou Xiang Army was ready to use nearly 15,000 prisoners of war from the imperial court to exchange Zhang Shaohua back.

Dou Bing, the general of the chariot cavalry, didn't know that Zhang Shaohua, the peerless fierce general who killed Wu Lu, the protector of Wudang Mountain, yesterday, had already entered the camp of the Broken Army at this time, and Dou Bing asked puzzledly: "Who are you going to change in the Suzhou Xiang Army?" ”

Wang Bo immediately said: "Zhang Shaohua, the fierce general of our Suzhou Xiang Army. ”

"What? It's him! How could he have been caught by us? Dou Bing's face was surprised.

Wang Bo frowned when he saw Dou Bing's expression, could it be that Zhang Shaohua was not in the imperial army, Wang Bo then said: "General Dou, maybe you don't know about this matter, General Dou should go back and ask!" Our Suzhou Xiang Army is willing to exchange your nearly 15,000 prisoners of war for Zhang Shaohua, if you don't agree, our Suzhou Xiang Army will not be able to guarantee the safety of the nearly 15,000 prisoners of war! ”

Dou Bing's eyes flashed, "You dare to threaten General Ben?" ”

Wang Bo quickly shook his head and said, "General Dou, I'm just passing on the word, and I ask General Dou to go back and ask the two hussar generals if they agree to this deal?" ”

Dou Bing nodded slightly, "General Ben will report this matter to the two hussar generals!" ”

Then Dou Bing turned his horse and returned to the main formation of the imperial army, and then reported the matter to the hussar general He Guangzong and the hussar general Li Hong, He Guangzong and Li Hong also showed incredible expressions, they all saw Zhang Shaohua with their own eyes, who could capture him alive with such a peerless general?

The hussar general Li Hong pondered for a while and said to the hussar general He Guangzong: "This matter should not be groundless, after all, the Suzhou rebels are willing to exchange nearly 15,000 captured soldiers of our army, it seems that people have to check it!" ”

At this time, Liu Fengbao, the general under Zhang Mingqi, suddenly shouted: "No need to check, I know where that Zhang Shaohua is!" A general under my command reported to me that Zhang Shaohua, a very powerful general of the Suzhou rebels, seemed to have entered the camp of the Broken Army last night, I didn't care at the time, thinking that the general was wrong, and now it seems that Zhang Shaohua must be in the camp of the Broken Army. ”

The hussar general He Guangzong turned his head and looked behind him, "Where is the guerrilla general named Wang Ben of the Broken Army?" ”

Hussar General Li Hong said with a dark face: "General He, just now I sent someone to order the Broken Army to assemble troops and go out of the camp to meet the rebels in Suzhou, but the General Wang Ben of the Broken Army refused the order to go to war because the losses of the Broken Army were too great and he could not fight for the time being, and he had not had time to report this matter to General He. ”

When He Guangzong heard this, he said angrily: "How can this be true! This broken army has lost no more than 1,000 people now, and at least nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses, where did the losses come from? Bossy! It's so impressive! If it weren't for General Liu Ji's face, General Ben would have cut down the guerrilla general named Wang Ben to correct military law! ”

Dou Bing, the general of the chariot cavalry, asked He Guangzong: "General He, how do we reply to the rebels in Suzhou?" After all, they have nearly 15,000 captured soldiers of our army in their hands, many of which are the robes of our forbidden army, and they can't watch them being killed by the Suzhou rebels! ”

The hussar general Li Hong said in a deep voice: "It seems that the guerrilla general of the Broken Army has to be invited over!" ”

Dou Bing, the general of the cavalry, immediately said: "Then I will reply to the rebels in Suzhou and let them wait!" ”

Soon, Wang Ben took two puppet bodyguards Liu Tong and Liu Lin, who had the strength of peerless fierce generals, to the front of the imperial army, "I don't know what happened to General He and General Li, urgently summoning Wang over?" Thousands of soldiers of our army have been fighting continuously, and not only have they suffered huge losses, but the whole army is very tired, and they are really unable to continue fighting in a short period of time. ”

Dou Bing, the general of the cavalry, said to He Guangzong in a deep voice: "The matter of breaking the army to fight will be discussed later!" I urgently summoned General Wang Ben over to ask the fierce general of the Suzhou rebels named Zhang Shaohua if he was in the camp of the Broken Army! ”

Wang Ben nodded very dryly and said: "Zhang Shaohua is indeed in the camp of our Broken Army, he has abandoned the dark and turned to the light, he joined our Broken Army last night, temporarily serving as Wang's deputy general, and after we return to Chengyin City, presumably my lord will definitely promote him again!" ”

He Guangzong, Li Hong and Dou Bing couldn't help but show horror in their eyes when they heard this, they didn't expect that Zhang Shaohua was really in the camp of the Broken Army, and listening to Wang Ben's meaning, Zhang Shaohua had already taken refuge in the Broken Army.

However, just as Wang Ben's words fell, an unusually angry voice suddenly sounded, "Where is that bastard named Zhang Shaohua?" I, Chen Tong, am going to break him into pieces! ”

The second elder of Wudang Mountain, Lei Jin, the fourth elder Chen Tong, and the protector Yang Yu all rode their war horses at this time, staying in front of the imperial army, not far from He Guangzong, Li Hong and Dou Bing, and they heard Wang Ben's words clearly.

Lei Jin, the second elder of Wudang Mountain, then said to Wang Ben: "This General Wang of the Broken Army must also know what happened yesterday, that Zhang Shaohua killed our Wudang Mountain's Wu Protector yesterday, I hope General Wang can hand over Zhang Shaohua to our Wudang Mountain to deal with, so as to avoid causing a misunderstanding between Wudang Mountain and the Broken Army!" ”

Wang Ben glanced at the two elders and a Dharma protector of Wudang Mountain with his eyes, and said with a sneer: "Are you Wudang Mountain threatening our Broken Army?" ”

Lei Jin, the second elder of Wudang Mountain, said in a stiff tone: "If General Wang has to understand it like this, it's okay!" ”

Wang Ben's eyes flashed with a fierce light and said, "Our Broken Army is not a threat to any cat or dog!" Even if it is the four major powers of the Western Regions, we are not afraid of the captive army! What are you Wudang Mountain! ”

The fourth elder Chen Tong shouted angrily: "Bold fanatic, I, Chen Tong, have cut you!" ”

Saying that, Chen Tong was about to rush towards Wang Ben with a knife, but Liu Tong and Liu Lin, who were beside Wang Ben, instantly raised the long knife in their hands, ready to urge the horse to meet Chen Dong.

At this moment, the hussar general He Guangzong suddenly shouted loudly: "Stop!" It is not possible to let the Suzhou rebels on the opposite side see our jokes! ”
