Just when Nalu Zhishen and others successfully captured Yizhou, the Shenwu army led by Guan Sheng, who was sent by Shi Wengong to capture Dengzhou, also arrived at the boundary of Nalingzhou.

At this time, after the Lingzhou Taishou Hou Meng heard that Guan Sheng's army had come here, he was very anxious. He knew Guan Sheng's bravery, and he was afraid that there was no one who could resist Guan Sheng in the entire Lingzhou City, or even in the entire Lingzhou territory.

Taishou Hou Meng was in a hurry, and suddenly saw a large group of people, under the banner of the imperial court, coming from the east.

After Hou Meng heard the news, he stepped on the city wall to look into the distance, and saw that the team of men and horses turned out to be Dengzhou soldiers and horses in the east, and the leader was the Dengzhou Taishou Zongze.

Hou Meng was very happy when he saw that Na Zongze personally led the soldiers and horses of Dengzhou to come here, and then personally led the soldiers in the city out of the city to meet Na Zongze's army.

When Zong Ze led the army to the gate of Lingzhou, he met Hou Meng with everyone around him, and behind this Hou Meng, there was also his sibling, the former Qingzhou Taishou Hou Fa.

It turned out that after the Qingzhou City sent troops to rescue Jeju and was annihilated, the garrison in the city was weak, and the troops led by Qin Ming and Ma Yuan almost went down in one go.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Hou Fa hurriedly led his relatives to escape and went to Lingzhou to join his brother Hou Meng and guard Lingzhou.

After seeing the two brothers Hou Meng and Hou Fa, Zong Ze bowed happily to the two of them, and at the same time, he also introduced the people around him to these two adults.

Standing on the left side of Zong Ze was Wang Jin, the former head of the 800,000 forbidden army in Tokyo, although he offended Gao Yu and was hunted down by Gao Yu. But now that Gao Yu is no longer alive, and the Song court is upright and turbulent, I believe that the Hou brothers will not embarrass Wang Jin.

Sure enough, the Hou brothers were overjoyed after hearing the name of Wang Jin, and they stepped forward to worship together, "I have heard the name of the king for a long time, and I don't want to meet here today, but it is our honor." ”

After Wang Jin heard this, he also smiled and arched his hand at the two of them.

Subsequently, Zong Ze introduced the person standing on his right side, this person's name is Pang Yi, he is a descendant of Pang Tong during the Three Kingdoms period, and now he is in his prime, but he is still old and strong, and he has the courage of ten thousand people.

Hearing Zong Ze's introduction, the Hou brothers bowed respectfully to the veteran Pang Yi a few times.

After that, Zong Ze introduced the person standing beside Wang Jin, named Ouyang Shoutong, who was the apprentice of Wang Jin's father Wang Sheng, and also Wang Jin's junior brother, not only strong in martial arts, but also quite watery.

In the end, it is Zong Fang, the son of Zong Ze, who is standing beside Pang Yi, although this son is more than ten years old, he has been following Zong Ze for a long time, and he has been taught martial arts by Wang Jin, but now he can't look at it from the eyes of ordinary people.

After Zong Ze finished introducing the four generals he brought, the Hou brothers were overjoyed, and laughed and said, "Haha, now not only Zong Ze Taishou is here to guard the town, but also four generals to help, I want to come to the Liangshan thieves want to capture my Lingzhou City, but it is as difficult as climbing to the sky, hahaha, you are quick and follow one to settle down in the city to rest, just wait for the thief to break in the future." ”

Immediately, the Hou brothers introduced this Zong Ze and other people into the city, and when they entered the city, Zong Ze exchanged glances with Wang Jin, and between his eyebrows, he was full of joy.

That night, I saw that the Hou brothers and the other generals in the city Taishou Mansion drank a few cups, at this moment, suddenly heard the spies come to report, saying that Guan Sheng had come to the city and set up camp five miles outside the city.

Hearing this news, Hou Meng was startled at first, but then when he looked at the group of capable generals gathered around him, he suppressed the panic again.

Immediately, I heard Na Hou Fa say, "Brother, now that the thieves have first arrived in the city, the army must be tired, why don't we go out of the city at night, take advantage of the unstable morale of the army, and fight him for a while, isn't it beautiful?" ”

Hearing Hou's words, Hou Meng was overjoyed, and when he was about to ask Zong Ze to send troops, he heard Zong Ze say again.

"Otherwise, otherwise, I heard that Guan Sheng, the leader of the thief soldiers, is a person who is both civil and military, and he has been in Lingzhou for a long time, so he must know the terrain well. Now he must have already laid an ambush in that dangerous place, just waiting for our army to throw itself into the net, Lord Taishou, according to a certain opinion, we can rest in the city for one night, stay until tomorrow in the white room, fight him again for a while, and defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop. ”

After listening to what Zong Ze said, Na Hou Meng thought about it for a while, and then nodded and said, "Okay, what Zong Taishou said is very reasonable, then as Zong Taishou said, you will rest in the city today, recuperate, and then destroy the thieves tomorrow!" ”

"Good!"

Immediately, the Hou brothers, and this Zong Ze and others all returned to their residences to rest for a while.

At the same time, in the camp of Guan Sheng five miles outside the city, just as Zong Ze said, Guan Sheng was leading Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo and others to lay an ambush in that dangerous place, just waiting for Hou Meng to come and die.

However, after Zong Ze said it, it made Guan Sheng and the others pounce tonight. However, this is also because Zong Ze does not want to lose the troops of the two sides, so he will arrange it like this.

There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, I saw that Naguan Sheng regained his spirit and led the Shenwu army to the city of Nalingzhou to call for battle.

At this time, Na Zongze temporarily ordered the Hou brothers to sit upright on the city wall, and led his four generals and a group of soldiers in the city out of the city to meet the enemy. After hearing this, the Hou brothers bowed to Zong Ze and the others a few times, told their blessings, and then stood on the city wall to watch.

After a while, I saw that Zong Ze led Wang Jin, Pang Yi, Ouyang Shoutong, and Zong Fang to lead a group of soldiers out of the city.

That Guan Sheng had been working in Lingzhou City for a long time, and he asked himself if he had never seen these five generals in the enemy formation at this time, but now when he saw that among the five of them, three of them were very old, and that Pang Yi was full of gorgeous hair, and he felt a little unbearable in his heart.

Then he heard Guan Shengce immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Wait and don't resist stubbornly here, it's not easy to live to such an age, it's better to enjoy your old age quietly at home, wouldn't it be beautiful, why do you go against my Liang army, and increase casualties!" ”

After hearing Guan Sheng's words, Pang Yi, the oldest among the people, was angry, and then stepped forward and shouted at Guan Sheng.

"Guan Sheng! You don't want to say wild words here, think that your ancestor is Guan Yu in the Three Kingdoms period, and my ancestor is Pang Tong in the Three Kingdoms period, but he is also working together, but now you and I are going to fight here, the old man really can't bear it, it is better for you to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, come to join me, maybe you can get another merit and end up with a good name! ”

After Guan Sheng heard Pang Yi's shouting, he said angrily, "The Tao is different, don't conspire with each other, so let's see the real chapter under your hands, and you don't say that Guan Mou deceived you into being old, look at the knife!" ”

After that, I saw that Guan Sheng danced the glaive knife and rushed forward, and at the same time, Pang Yi also danced the machete and rushed towards Guan Sheng, and after a few breaths, the two collided together and started a wonderful battle.
