Liu He was really worried that something would go wrong with Weng Tong, he wasn't worried that Weng Tong would be killed, but he was worried that Weng Tong would be arrested. If Weng Tong is caught, they will be doomed. Without a certain degree of certainty, if the planned things are leaked. Let's not talk about whether they will be overthrown by the army that has just been mastered now, and they will be overthrown by the people, even Xu Jie, who will immediately turn his face and deny it, maybe he will immediately send an order to all parties to condemn them as rebellious people, and everyone will be punished.

Therefore, at this moment, Liu He did not pay too much attention to the surrounding situation, in his opinion, five hundred troops are out together, no matter which side of the people are moving, they have to retreat. Because, in Juye City, Hu Zhi occupies the righteousness. Except for Feng Ziming's department, there is no other side that can resist their own side. Even if Feng Ziming is in action, he doesn't dare to fight them openly, unless Feng Ziming starts a new stove with a clear flag.

However, is it easy for Feng Ziming to start anew? The answer is obvious, not easy. First of all, the problem of troops, that is, logistics, and whether the people support it or not is a huge problem. No matter how high the prestige is, the people have always had no good understanding of the rebels. Of course, if the people can't survive, that's a different story.

"Speed up!" Liu He frowned and shouted.

At this time, he was wondering who was doing it. Is it the wind and the song? Or someone else. Of course, with his ability, it is not easy to get to know these things thoroughly. What he cares more about now is whether he will become the deputy commander of this 10,000-strong army if this Weng Tong dies. How to benefit yourself, how to put your own people in power? He cares more about these.

When we reached the field, the road ahead became narrow. On both sides of the road are the farmland of the people. Looking up in front of me, under the light of the torches beside me, the road ahead was smooth.

"Go, the cavalry is ahead, follow me!" Liu He snorted coldly, rode his horse and whipped, surrounded by several guards, and marched forward......

At this moment, lurking under a ridge where the field and the wilderness meet, a black shadow leaped up in the darkness, and with a lightning-like bow and arrow, aimed at the willow crane that was moving forward.

"Whoosh......"

A black shadow struck, and a piercing whistling sound rang out.

Liu He, who was riding on a horse, instinctively realized the danger and hurriedly drew his knife.

However, the steel knife in his hand was still half a step slower, and the blade was only half drawn, and the black shadow turned into an arrow in the firelight, which had reached his chest.

"Poof!"

A huge earth blood arrow flew up in the air, and Liu He's entire body was carried backwards by the iron bone arrow, and then fell to the ground fiercely.

"Ahh

The soldiers of Hu Zhibu, who were advancing, couldn't help but let out an exclamation, followed by all the voices that stopped abruptly, only the incredulous eyes, looking blankly at Liu He, who was hit by the arrow.

Seeing that one blow would kill, Tang Bin immediately turned around and broke away.

At this time, Liu He's body had not completely landed, and those soldiers did not react.

"Puff ......"

Liu He's body finally fell to the ground, and the soldiers also reacted, and one by one they rushed forward with red eyes and shouts, wanting to avenge their master.

"Whoosh ......" "Chirp ......"

The soldiers who were lying in ambush under the ridges of the fields in front of them shot arrows together and released crossbow arrows. Immediately, several of the Hu Zhibu soldiers who rushed to the front were shot dead on the road, and some of their corpses even fell into the fields.

"Kill...... The main general of the enemy army has been killed, the army is ready, we will kill it! With a shout, hundreds of meters in front of Liu He's corporal, at the limit of the firelight, a large number of people appeared under black pressure, at least no less than more than a hundred people. These people, armed with long knives, set up in formation, with the intention of killing.

"Archers prepare! Ballista Battalion Ready! Let's all move for me, and everyone will compare with each other, and see how much we kill in that sentry. The first one laughed and shouted.

"Haha, Master Guo, don't compare, our Divine Arrow Battalion has killed the most!" A man in the rear responded loudly.

"! We have the most ballista battalions, and what could be sharper than our crossbow arrows? One retorted.

"Don't talk big, just kill it." The man known as the fruit chief said coldly.

"The army is ready! We're going to kill it! Guo Chang waved the command flag in his hand and shouted loudly.

Seeing this, the rest of the Hu Zhibu soldiers who were about to chase down the assassin who had assassinated Liu He hurriedly retreated, they did not know how many enemies there were on the other side, nor did they know the identity of the other party. In addition, the main general Liu He died again, and no one made a quick decision, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, although angry, but helpless.

Several low-ranking officers hurriedly gathered their ranks and prepared to meet the opposing attack. However, when the Assassin returned to the opposing army, the other party did not kill him.

"Captain, are you alright?" Seeing Tang Bin running back, his subordinate asked urgently.

"It's fine, it's just an arrow in the arm." Tang Bin said breathlessly, but the joy on his face was undoubtedly revealed.

"Captain, you did it, it's amazing!" The two soldiers selected from Feng Ziming's department said with a look of admiration.

"It's also thanks to everyone's straw man, otherwise, I wouldn't have run back along the lì! All right. Let's get ready, let's retreat slowly. I don't think they dare to chase after them at this moment! ”

Sure enough, seeing the unknown army on the opposite side retreating, they really didn't dare to chase after them, so they had to notify the barracks while stationing in place.

"What? The fourth team killed Liu He? Hearing the report of his subordinates, Zhao Xun was taken aback. immediately asked for the details, and after listening to it, he was also surprised by what Tang Bin's team did.

"Yes, in ancient times, there were straw men who borrowed arrows, and today there are straw men who retreat from the enemy. Tang Bin, good job! Zhao Xun sighed with relief. Yes, the more than 100 figures that appeared in the end were all straw men, and only the more than 30 people in front of them were real soldiers. If it's a daytime, it's useless. If Liu He hadn't died, this plan might have been equally useless. But the opposing commander was killed, and he could not figure out the situation, and there was no effective commander to lead. As a result, Tang Bin was naturally allowed to leave.

"Li Dian, Tang Bin, take the surrendered people, leave here immediately, go to the hidden place we planned to hide, and only after we occupy the dominant position, can we let them come back." Zhao Xun commanded in a deep voice.

After arranging everything, Zhao Xun took advantage of the night to return to the camp in the south of the city.

"How? How's it going? In the camp, Feng Ziming and Ye Xuan both asked with solemn faces.

Zhao Xun smiled: "It's better than expected, Weng Tong and Liu He were both killed!" The plan is immediately launched, the army is moving, and it is necessary to put pressure on them and give us an advantageous position. ”

After listening to Zhao Xun's casual explanation of what happened before and after, Feng Ziming was amazed, but Ye Xuan was shocked in his heart. He knew in his heart that it was him and his own men. Standing on Feng Ziming's side, he can't kill the other two. Standing on the side of Weng Tong and Liu He, he himself couldn't escape. The strength in Feng Ziming's hands is much stronger than he knows. Even, there is a feeling of being suppressed.

The Governor's Mansion in the city.

"Lord Lieutenant, something has happened!" Just after dinner, when Hu Zhi was discussing the current situation with Sima Yu, the cronies in the palace hurriedly shouted from outside the study.

"Get in!" Hearing the hurried voice of his subordinates, although he was impatient, he still let him in.

"Anyway, what's the matter?" Hu Zhi said slowly. Sitting there, the momentum is calm, and now Hu Zhi really has a majestic appearance.

"My lord, just now the brothers outside the city who were monitoring Feng Ziming's department reported to him, for some reason, in the Feng Ziming camp in the south of the city before, there was a sudden shout of killing, and there was chaos. Now, Feng Ziming's camp has gathered troops in the camp, and the entire camp is red, and I don't know what I want to do. ”

"Huh? What's wrong with Feng Ziming's camp? Let someone check it out at once, and keep an eye on the movements of Feng Ziming's department, and better figure out what they want to do! Hu Zhi, who was originally as calm as a mountain, immediately changed his face and said urgently. Suddenly, his majestic appearance disappeared without a trace.

After ordering the guards to leave, Hu Zhi frowned and said, "Mr. Sima, you say, what is going on?" Could it be that this Feng Ziming really wants to fight me head-on? ”

Sima Yu also frowned slightly, he was not clear about the situation, so he naturally couldn't make a judgment, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Lord Duwei, don't worry!" It's not very likely that Feng Ziming wants to fight us head-on. We sent people to spy on them, and they were not unaware. If we really want to act, it won't be fanfare, let's find out. ”

"Besides, why did he attack us? We are under the orders of the Overseer, and what about him? Now it is still a single-family with nowhere to settle and no name. If he dares to make trouble, we will call it a rebellion, and I think that when the time comes, there will be no people to support him, and no people will be willing to serve him, and the reputation he has worked so hard to accumulate will be lost. Before, we still thought highly of him. Although he is now the commander of the government, he really has no real power in his hands. ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? When Hu Zhi heard this, he immediately asked in surprise.

"Lord Commander, don't forget, Feng Ziming appeared here because Lord Governor asked him to support Shanyang Mansion and command the army of Shanyang Mansion. However, when he arrived at Shanyang Mansion, the position of commander of the government army was obtained by Ye Xuan. In other words, he was in Shanyang Mansion and didn't get anything. And what is the duty of Changshi? Isn't it just to calculate the number of people in each department of the government and army, distribute and verify grain, grass, and military salaries? But these things need to be handled in the Governor's Mansion, and he can still do it when he leaves the Governor's Mansion? Sima Yu sneered.

Hu Zhi suddenly had a happy face, and said: "This is very good, if you say so, then isn't it that Lord Du Du deliberately wants to move away from Feng Ziming?" ”

Sima Yu frowned and said, "Lord Duwei, there are some things that you can know, but you can't say. What does Feng Ziming say, it has a good reputation in Yanzhou. And his upright temperament is indeed an obstacle to the Governor's planning of great things. You can't kill it, you can't let it appear around you, and at the same time, in order to avoid causing trouble to yourself, you can only put it in the air. Hu Duwei, I didn't admit this after I said it, do you understand? ”

Hu Zhi's face stiffened slightly, and he smiled bitterly: "Mr. Sima, don't worry, I understand." ”

Sima Yu nodded slightly and said, "But what Feng Ziming is doing now seems to have exceeded our expectations. At the time of his departure, there were 5,000 men, and now there are 12,000 under his command. Among them, the army's salary was still collected by him from merchants, and in addition, there were various channels for purchasing weapons. Think about it, the 5,000-person Fengziming Division, we may not be afraid. But now, the command of Qi has doubled, and it has brought us unforeseen hidden dangers. This wind is ringing, and now it is becoming more and more difficult. ”

As soon as he thought of Feng Ziming, Hu Zhi frowned. If it weren't for the last time I made things clear, would I need to be so nervous? Each side has an army of 10,000 people, and there is a possibility of conflict over a small matter at any time. This made Ho Chi. There was both worry and annoyance in my heart. As expected at the beginning, Feng Ziming only had 5,000 people, which was not enough to affect him at all. Who would have expected that in the blink of an eye, Feng Ziming would double the team. Although I don't know the situation inside, I also know from the people who were expelled from Feng Ziming's subordinates because they were unqualified, Feng Ziming's subordinates are very strong. Not only that, but the other side is also well-trained and follows military orders.

Thinking of the 10,000 people under his command, Hu Zhi felt an indescribable jealousy. Although he also has more than 10,000 people, except for the government army, which is still a little better and obeys the military order, the remaining seven or eight thousand people still have not been able to integrate into one. In other words, these more than 10,000 subordinates could not stand the test of actual combat. Perhaps, before it has been carried out, the following will fall apart.

Because of the changes in the south of the city, Hu Zhi and Sima Yu did not dare to rest lightly. So, just in case, in order to wait for the corporal to bring the exact news. The two of them came to play Go.

I have to say that there are really not many military attachés who like to play chess, but Hu Zhi is the best among them. Today, however, he fell short of standards.

"Lord Commander is still worried about the commotion in Feng Ziming's department?" Looking at the messy chess game, Sima Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was a man of letters, so he naturally had some research on chess, and even a hobby. Being able to play a chess game at such a moment is also a kind of grinding for him. However, it is clear that the result was not achieved. I don't know if it's because I'm too nervous about Feng Ziming's situation, Hu Zhi's chess game can be described as a mess.

"Mr. Sima! To be honest, I'm very uneasy about such a powerful force as Feng Ziming and his side. It's like a tiger lying in a sleeping place that doesn't have a very good relationship. Now that there is a change in the Fengziming department, how can I settle down. Hearing Sima Yu's words, Hu Zhilian smiled bitterly.

Seeing Hu Zhi like this, Sima Yu didn't have much to say, so he had to say: "Lord Duwei don't worry!" Whether Feng Ziming is really aimed at us or not, there will soon be an answer. They can't be motionless! Speaking of which, I also persuaded the Governor to deal with Feng Ziming. But Lord Governor didn't agree, and now it seems that Lord Governor also underestimated Feng Ziming! Speaking of Feng Ziming, Sima Yu also smiled bitterly. How can the current Feng Ziming be as upright as when he was in Yanzhou City?

"Perhaps, sooner or later, this Feng Ziming will ruin Lord Governor's plan!" Sima Yu sighed secretly.

"Report ...... Two adults, the movement of Feng Ziming's department has been clearly investigated! Just when the two generals were waiting for the news, the guards under their command finally sent back the news.

"Tell me, tell me, what's going on?" Hu Zhi asked urgently.

"Lord Hui, earlier, Feng Ziming's camp was attacked by assassins, and five captains were attacked and killed!" The guard hurriedly replied.

"What? How can it be? Could you be mistaken? Feng Ziming's camp was assassinated? Could it be that the other party's camp is all furnishings and is not defended? Hu Zhi asked coldly. In his opinion, this news is better than nothing.

The guard hurriedly said: "Lord Hui, the assassin broke into the Fengziming camp in a bright and bright way. ”

"Huh? Tell me, what's going on? Hu Zhi was stunned, but still asked urgently. Sima Yu on the side nodded thoughtfully.

"Returning to Lord Duwei, because the treatment of Feng Ziming's department is better, and the military salary he needs is all supported by wealthy businessmen. So, tonight's assassin was mixed into the barracks in a convoy of wealthy merchants who donated food and grass to the barracks. As a result, Feng Ziming's soldiers were defenseless, and these assassins succeeded in one fell swoop, and five captains were assassinated. ”

"Oh, that's great news!" Hu Zhi was overjoyed.

"Can you find out who the assassin is?" Sima Yu asked in a deep voice. Hu Zhi's mind was clear, and he realized that he had asked so much, but the most important thing had not yet been asked, and he couldn't help but have a clear look on his face.

The guards looked at Hu Zhi and whispered: "It is said that of course these assassins died, either they died in battle or committed suicide by taking poison, and they did not survive!" However, according to the outfit and supplies the Assassins carried, they said...... They said it was the Captain's doing. The generals under Feng Ziming are asking for their lives in the camp, killing into the city, taking revenge, and capturing Juye. However, he was suppressed by Fengzi Mingsheng. ”

"What? What did you say? Hu Zhi immediately burst into tears. At this moment, he felt that something was in trouble. If the identity of the assassin is really pressed on them, Feng Ziming will fight him, and he will get the support of the people, and even the support of his own soldiers.

After all, if he was assassinated by his own people and in order to avenge his subordinates, he turned to attack and kill Hu Zhi's subordinates, even if he was famous, he would not be abandoned by the people. Not only that, but it may even be supported by the people. No matter what the soldier is, he hopes that his superiors can back him up.

After retreating from his subordinates, Hu Zhi sat down with a pale face and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Sima, you say, is this Feng Ziming's trick, deliberately?" ”

Sima Yu shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, after all, they are four lieutenants dead." You must know that according to Feng Ziming's establishment of his subordinates, they are also a school captain, so they are half gone at once. No matter how much he tried, he wouldn't do it. Don't forget that this is happening in the eyes of many wealthy businessmen. Even if it's acting, I don't dare to do this. ”

When Hu Zhi heard this, his body relaxed, and he swallowed what he wanted to say.

"Don't worry, Lord Lieutenant, since Feng Ziming suppressed the soldier's request, he also understands that we won't do this. Let's sit and wait, no matter what, Feng Ziming will come to talk to us. ”
