Duan Wencao received a secret report from Xu Shiren.

The food crisis in Mengshan broke out, and the white thief was forced to decisively lead the main force to evacuate the battlefield of Lu County and go to Langya County to loot grain. In order to help Han Jinluo and others to hold Ningyang City as much as possible, the white thieves let the thieves Meng Haigong and Han Yao attack on the battlefield on the southern front of Lu County, and made a posture of pincering Ningyang City to deceive the officials and soldiers, and at the same time secretly told Han Jinluo and other thieves that after the Cangtou Army obtained the results from Langya County and alleviated the food crisis in Mengshan, they rushed back to the battlefield of Lu County and did their best to rescue them.

Among them, Shuai Rentai had the intention to surrender the city, but because it was difficult to gain Duan Wencao's trust, he was worried that the officials and soldiers would settle accounts after the autumn, so he hesitated. Xu Shiren asked Duan Wencao for instructions on whether to accept Shuai Rentai's surrender, and if so, what are the conditions, and whether Shuai Rentai's life can be guaranteed.

Duan Wencao immediately sent scouts to Gangcheng to inquire about the news and confirm whether the white thief had really led the main force to retreat. If the white thieves really left with the main force of the Cangtou Army, and there were only a small number of thieves left behind in Gangcheng, then the thieves Meng Haigong and Han Yao attacked Rencheng and put on a posture of attacking Ningyang from the north and south with the Cangtou Army of Gangcheng, which was purely a bluff, and there was no need for the Lu army to continue to besiege Ningyang City without attacking.

Duan Wencao's main target is the white thief and the Cangtou army, now that the "target" has left the battlefield of Lu County, it is meaningless for Duan Wencao to insist on the established strategy, on the contrary, he should take Ningyang as quickly as possible, annihilate the righteous army in the city, and then kill Ren Cheng directly, defeat the thief Marshal Meng Haigong and Han Yao, and then turn the horse's head, go north to kill the Yangguan line, recover Juping, Liangfu and other towns, and stabilize the entire territory of Lu County.

Duan Wencao saw that victory was within reach, and his feelings were very good, so he replied to Xu Shiren, Qi people should be united and united to the outside world, instead of killing each other, so that the enemies can be painful.

Duan Wencao asked Xu Shiren to tell Han Jinluo and the other four heroes of his thoughts and views, and he was not only willing to accept them and ensure their safety, but also willing to work with them to enrich and display the strength of the Lu army. His goal was to ensure the stability of Lu County and the stability of the Qilu region, and to achieve this, it was necessary to have a strong army. Only in this way will in the near future, when the Eastern Capital extends its butcher's knife to the Qi people after the victory of the Eastern Crusade, the Qi people will be able to protect their interests to the greatest extent and compete with the Guanlong people. If the Qi people are killing each other now, killing rivers of blood, in the end the weakest strength is the Qi people, and the most damaged Qi people, when one day, the opponent kills violently, the Qi people must be called every day is not effective, called the earth should not be, and they will be defeated.

Duan Wencao believed that his views could be accepted by the four heroes, even if his promises were not reliable, but now that the rebels were cornered, the four heroes had to consider surrendering this way, whether for themselves or for their brothers. If you want all the rebels in the city to surrender, you must first cut off the hope of the rebels in the city to break through, so Duan Wencao is extremely concerned about the movements of the white thieves and the Cangtou army.

In the anxious waiting, Scout 6 continued to send a secret report, but from these fragmentary messages, it was impossible to conclude that the White Thief and the Cangtou Army had withdrawn from Lu County. Duan Wencao, Niu Jinda and other subordinates repeatedly analyzed and discussed, and they all believed that without confirming the withdrawal of the white thieves and the Cangtou army to Mengshan, if they took advantage of the opportunity of the surrender of the thief army in the city to attack Ningyang City, it would be very risky, and once the thief army surrendered, it was very likely that they would suffer a heavy setback.

At this moment, Kong Zhongqing, who stayed behind in the flawed hill, sent an urgent message, and the scouts deployed in the upper reaches of the Surabaya River sent an urgent report that the thief army had been active in the direction of Bian Cheng recently, and an army had crossed the Surabaya River to enter Bian Cheng for several nights. Kong Zhongqing therefore made an analysis, thinking that the white thieves saw the official army Chen Bing Ningyang and could not rescue the rebels in the city, so he mobilized the main force to enter the first line of Surabaya and attacked Qufu, so that the thief army formed a flank attack on the front line of Rencheng, Bianqiu and Qufu, which posed a threat to Bianqiu. Based on this, Kong Zhongqing concluded that the thieves might be carrying out a plan to attack the east and the west, and Jian Yì Duan Wencao immediately conquered Ningyang, so as to free up his hands to defeat each other.

Duan Wencao saw this urgent report, and his heart was overjoyed. Kong Zhongqing's analysis of the movements of the thief army was wrong, but this news proved that Xu Shiren's sources were very reliable, and the white thief really sent the main force to secretly withdraw to Mengshan and attack Langya County to the east.

Duan Wencao then secretly contacted Xu Shiren again and asked him to take the initiative to rebel, even if the thieves were harsh, he would agree to all of them, and only when the time was ripe, he would cooperate with the outside to take Ningyang City.

Xu Shiren immediately found Shuai Rentai and discussed with him about the surrender of the city.

"Qi people don't kill Qi people, this is the concept that Jun always adheres to." Xu Shiren said solemnly, "Under this premise, anything can be discussed, so I think you should talk to Huo Xiaohan and find out his bottom." He is your brother and so-and-so's brother, and we should not leave him behind at this time of life and death. ”

Shuai Rentai frowned, glanced at Xu Shiren, and sneered, "Are you worried that XX's strength is not enough, so that it will fall short?" ”

Xu Shiren shook his hand again and again, "There is a mental calculation or no intention, and the chance of winning is very high." As soon as you open the city gate and the officers and soldiers rush in, this battle is basically over. It's just that the envoy always has to give an explanation to the eastern capital, and he always has to take a few heads to block the opponent's mouth, if we don't pull them together to defect to the envoy, their lives will not be saved. Can you bear to watch their heads cut off by the envoys? Aren't you afraid that their men will hate us and plot against us? ”

Shuai Rentai glanced at Xu Shiren and said mockingly, "You don't care about their lives, but your reputation, right?" You have treacherously acted behind your brother's back, and once this matter is heard, you will be ruined. In that case, why do you still have to work hard for Duan Wencao? Why do you want to be his traitor and betray your brother? ”

"Do you think so-and-so wants to betray his brother, and so-and-so is willing to be a despicable and shameless villain?" Xu Shiren couldn't help but say angrily, "XX's parents, wife and children, dozens of Xu's lives, are all pinched in Duan Wencao's hands, what do you let XX?" If you can rescue the Xu family, I will make you a cow and a horse in this life. ”

"Your Xu clan is only a few dozen lives, and Ningyang City has fallen, and thousands of people have died. At this moment, the families and relatives of these thousands of people are all in Mengshan, once these thousands of people die, there is no way to get food for Mengshan, you can imagine, how many of the tens of thousands of innocent beings who are struggling on the edge of life and death can survive? Dozens of lives, compared with tens of thousands of lives, which is more important, you don't know the hero of Rencheng? ”

Xu Shiren's expression changed suddenly, and his fingers were handsome and Rentai asked sharply, "What do you mean by this?" Have you changed your mind? You have changed your course and are not going to surrender the city? Are you lying to so-and-so? ”

Shuai Rentai shook his hand at Xu Shiren, signaling him not to get excited, "Duan Wencao is different from us, he and the Beihai Duan clan are like a towering tree, and we are just a group of grass mustard ants, the so-called Qilu interests are actually the interests of his Beihai Duan clan, for his Beihai Duan clan, Duan Wencao doesn't care about the death or life of the grass mustard ant fly at all, he won't even blink his eyelids when he sacrifices us." ”

Xu Shiren realized that something was wrong, and he seemed to have fallen into a trap, "Since you don't believe in Duan Wencao, why do you plan to surrender the city?" ”

"Because I want to know if you are a spy sent by Duan Wencao." Shuai Rentai held the handle of the knife in his hand and looked disappointed, "The result made a certain very chill." I have known you for many years, I am like a brother, and I trust you very much, and even when Bai Shuai came to warn you that Han Jinluo and Zhen Baoche were planning to attack you, I did everything possible to maintain it, but the result was like this. Why? You are famous for your chivalry, you are a hero of Rencheng, you and we are both brothers, why do you do such a thing that people and gods are angry about? ”

Xu Shiren was sure that he had been tricked, and he also knew that he was exposed, and he knew that he couldn't get out. Since there was a dead end, he calmed down, he was dead anyway, and he didn't take the last step, and he didn't really help Duan Wencao kill his brother, so although he was ashamed, he was not afraid, but had a sense of relief. If he dies, he will not affect his family, Rencheng Xu did not rebel after all, and Duan Wencao is not a bloody and cruel person, he will definitely keep his promise and let Xu live.

"Sue sù, why turn your back on your brother? Don't say that Duan Wencao has kidnapped your family and relatives, don't believe it. Shuai Rentai asked angrily, "Rencheng Xu clan is also a Qilu clan, although it is not as good as the Beihai Duan clan, but it also has enough strength in Lu County, if Duan Wencao wants to control Lu County, he must win the support of your Xu clan, how dare he threaten you with the life and death of the Xu clan?" Look outside the city, there is the Ren Chengxiang League outside the city, and the main force of the Ren Chengxiang League is from your Xu family. Since you have such strength, what does Duan Wencao want to blackmail you? ”

Xu Shiren smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You know, so-and-so is not the head of the family, and the head of the Xu family has always been very dissatisfied with so-and-so. ”

Shuai Rentai is very clear about this matter. The head of the Xu family once went to a state to assassinate the history, and later because he followed the wrong person and stood on the wrong team, he dismissed the official and returned home, and immediately put the hope of reviving the family on the future generations, and placed high hopes on Xu Shiren. If you don't succeed, it's okay, and if you still do something illegal and harm the family, then it can't be tolerated, so the old head of the Xu family has never been waiting to see Xu Shiren.

"What does this have to do with the old master of the Xu family?"

"The old family owner threatened that if he didn't help Duan Yuanjun, he would expel him from the Xu family." Xu Shiren sighed bitterly, "This matter has something to do with your raising the flag to rebel." ”

Shuai Rentai understood as soon as he heard it. This time, Xu Shiren's good friends Shuai Rentai and Huo Xiaohan successively raised the flag to rebel, so the old head of the Xu family must play some tricks on Xu Shiren in order to prevent trouble, so as not to bring disaster to the family. And the reason why Xu Shiren agreed is probably because he is pessimistic about the prospects of Shuai Rentai and Huo Xiaohan, and intends to help his friends at the moment of life and death.

Shuai Rentai thought for a moment, let go of the hand holding the knife, and said, "If you are still a brother to us, you will fight side by side with us and fight a bloody way." ”
