After Zheng Ti and Ying Xue glanced at each other, they sat down on the chair to see what Lai Rong had to do, and then make a plan.

"Commanders, tonight's emergency meeting is because there is an urgent matter, everyone knows that Tianguan is the key to our success or failure, I won't say much gossip, now our opportunity has come, Zhu Xiaochun will attack Tianguan tomorrow night, I am ready to destroy him in Tianguan, I don't know what you think?" Lai Rong said confidently.

"General, I don't know where I got this information, can this information be true?" asked a military commander who stood up.

"Hahaha, of course it's true, oh, I forgot to introduce it, this is the commander of Tianguan's guard, Commander Zheng, Commander Zheng has been subordinated to me, and his position will still be the commander in the future, this time the information was reported by him overnight, the details will be explained by Commander Zheng, everyone will work together in the future, they are all their own people, we must take care of each other, support each other, please Commander Zheng don't worry. Lai Rong said happily.

"Thanks to the general's refusal to give up, Zheng Ti swears allegiance to the general, and I would like to ask you for more advice in the future. I will introduce Zhu Xiaochun's situation to you, in fact, the situation is very simple, because I refused Zhu Xiaochun's surrender, he was afraid that I would surrender to the general, so he wanted to strike first, take advantage of my unpreparedness, and attack Tianguan first, fortunately, the spy I sent to him got the news, so he immediately rushed to report to the general. Zheng Ti hurriedly stood up and saluted the army commanders.

"He turned out to be Zheng Ti, the guard of Tianguan, I really didn't expect it. ”

"It seems that he has truly surrendered to us. ”

"Congratulations to the General, my wish has been granted. ”

The military commanders present collectively congratulated Lai Rong. Of course, Lai Rong was very happy in his heart, but. He knew that now was not the time to invite merit and commendation, and he had to eliminate Zhu Xiaochun first. Only then can the three northern provinces be owned by him, so that he can completely control all the territory of the three northern provinces and the east, and at that time, he can fight back and attack Kyoto, but these are all future matters, and the top priority now is how to eliminate Zhu Xiaochun. He held back the smugness in his heart and said to everyone: "Everyone, now let's talk about how to eliminate Zhu Xiaochun, my opinion is to set up an ambush and wait for Zhu Xiaochun's arrival, when we are surprised, we are unprepared, we must eliminate him in front of Tianguan, and then we will advance into Tianguan." Eliminate Wang Zhuo and Gao Yuanhao and unify the three northern provinces. ”

"As soon as the general orders are ordered, we are willing to go to the soup and do our best. No excuses. Everyone swore that Lai Rong usually made the idea, and Lai Rong was also relatively dictatorial. There is no need for these military commanders to worry about it at all, as long as they follow Lai Rong's orders. They just do it.

"Well, good. Lai Rong glanced at everyone. expressed satisfaction, and then said: "Zhu Xiaochun, Tianguan and our three forces are each other's horns, since Zhu Xiaochun wants to attack Tianguan, he must pass through the dragon path, which is overgrown with grass and trees, and it is the best ambush location, we will set up an ambush here, and as soon as Zhu Xiaochun's men and horses arrive, we will kill him by surprise and be sure to annihilate them in one fell swoop." After Lai Rong finished speaking, he asked Zheng Ti: "Does Commander Zheng know how many troops Zhu Xiaochun dispatched this time?"

Seeing that Lai Rong asked about him, Zheng Tian stood up and said to Lai Rong respectfully: "There are about three armies and 120,000 people. ”

"Okay, in this way, we will send the troops of the four armies to ambush him, and there will be Commander Zheng to meet us at that time, the forces of the five armies are combined, I believe that Zhu Xiaochun will definitely be wiped out, hahaha!" Lai Rong laughed happily, as if he was already in control.

"Since the general has made a clever plan, then ask the general to use the magic flame as the number, and his subordinates will immediately go out of the city to meet the general, and we will attack back and forth to eliminate that Zhu Xiaochun in Tianguanmen. Without further ado, the subordinates will go back to prepare, and after eliminating Zhu Xiaochun tomorrow night, the subordinates will open the gate of Tianguan and welcome the general to take over Tianguan. In order to show my sincerity, I will take down the guard of Xiongling Pass, Ma Or, and use him to coerce the guard of Xiongling Pass to open the city gate as a greeting gift to the general, to show the sincerity of my subordinates. Zheng said flatteringly.

"Okay, since you have this heart, then this matter will be fully entrusted to you, tomorrow we will join forces, and after eliminating Zhu Xiaochun, we will all meet in Tianguan, and then we will be rewarded for meritorious deeds. Since Commander Zheng is busy with military affairs, please go back quickly to avoid changes. Lai Rong said happily.

"Yes, my subordinates will go back and wait for the good news from the general. After Zheng Ti listened to Lai Rong's words, he said goodbye to him.

"Okay, General Zheng, please. Lai Rong knows that now is a critical time, and he can't make any mistakes.

After Ying Xue and Zheng Ti left, Lai Rong's advisors asked with some concern, "Does the general really believe in this Zheng Ti so much?

"Hehe, General Ben doesn't believe him, but, the information he sent today I think is absolutely true, Zhu Xiaochun is what I have always wanted to destroy, since there is such a good opportunity, how can I let it go, as for this Zheng Ti, wait for me to see if his surrender is also sincere, and then make plans, this person is just an insatiable person, but he still has the value of use, since he has boasted of Haikou today, tomorrow after we enter the Tianguan, if he does not capture the horse of Xionglingguan to see me, I will slowly punish his crimes, otherwise, will not be true, who will be willing to surrender to me in the future, we will not cut off our own way。 Now I am preparing that the commanders of the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth armies will go to Longjing to set up an ambush now, and when Zhu Xiaochun passes through Longjing tomorrow night, he must be eliminated at Longjing, and I will personally lead one army to meet him, and the rest of the armies will stay in the base camp in case there is a loss! Everyone, success or failure will be done tomorrow, and you must do your best to wait for this general to unify the three northern provinces before rewarding meritorious deeds. Lai Rong said with a lot of experience.

"Yes, I didn't wait for the general's orders, and I went to prepare immediately. The four army commanders who were ordered by Lai Rong, after hearing the order, immediately prepared to set off overnight, lurking in the dragon path in the night, preparing to ambush Zhu Xiaochun.

"Okay, the four generals must pay attention to hiding your traces, and don't let Zhu Xiaochun discover your traces. Otherwise, we will be doomed. Lai Rong said with a stern expression.

"Yes. Please rest assured that his subordinates will be careful. Subordinates and others retired. The four commanders said in unison.

After Yingxue and Zheng Ti returned to Tianguan, Zheng Ti immediately convened a meeting of brigade commanders and informed the brigade commanders of what had just happened, although the brigade commanders were surprised, after all, such a plan was too bold, but this was also a dangerous victory, and the brigade commanders immediately said that they would destroy the enemy army to the death, after all, they were all Zheng Ti's confidants. Seeing that everyone had no objections, Zheng ordered the brigades to prepare for battle. Ordered 10,000 elite soldiers to bring enough dry food, divided into two teams on the left and right, and rushed to the mountains of Xiongling Pass overnight to lurk, and in the early morning of the day after tomorrow, with the fire in front of Xiongling Pass as the signal, from the left and right flanks to attack, the enemy's formation was scattered, and the other brigades were combined to eliminate Lai Rong's in front of Xiongling Pass, while the remaining three brigades were divided into two parts, and one part walked in front of the enemy. The first attack is to kill the enemy, one of them is caught off guard, and the other part is mixed in the enemy army, and once the vanguard force is attacked, it will immediately move in the enemy army, and the enemy army will be killed in chaos. Cooperate with the vanguard, ambush soldiers and reinforcements from Xiongling Pass to wipe out Lai Rong's troops.

After the distribution of one qiē, Zheng Ti separated Zeng Zhaoli and Tang Bin, and also separated the three hundred special guards in the cottage. Ordered the two of them to each bring thirty five-element battle formations to cooperate with the actions of the large army. After destroying the enemy army in front of Xiongling Pass, return to Tianguan and kill back to Tianguan. Yingxue had already expected that after Lai Rong took over Tianguan. Tomorrow will be a tough battle, the brave will win, however, Zheng is already in an advantage, first, Lai Rong's mutated elbow is born, it must be taken by surprise, and secondly, the enemy army must have been exhausted after fighting in the middle of the night, and Zheng Ti will be able to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop. The battle before Tianguan, after all, was dominated by Lai Rong, and Zheng Ti was responsible for cleaning up the battlefield and doing the aftermath.

After Zheng Ti announced the order, he ordered the brigade commanders to arrange the implementation, and he and Ying Xue hurried to Xiongling Pass, called the horse out of their sleep, and told Ma or Ma in detail about his and Zheng Ti's movements tonight and the plan for tomorrow night, and immediately said that they would listen to Ying Xue's arrangements and fully cooperate with Ying Xue's actions tomorrow.

"Okay, now that the overall situation has been decided, it's up to Zhu Xiaochun and Lai Rong's performance, Zhu Xiaochun will definitely be wiped out tomorrow, we just want him and Lai Rong to fight for both defeats, and then we will surround and annihilate Lai Rong, it will be much easier, tomorrow night we have to find a way to let Zhu Xiaochun know that Lai Rong has an ambush in the Dragon Path, so that there will be no one-sided shape in the fight, at least it can effectively consume Lai Rong's living force." Zheng Ti said with a sense of accomplishment, such a bold and complex plan, if it was not planned by Yingxue, even if they could think of it, they would not dare to implement it.

"It's a shame that I didn't get involved in such an exciting program. After listening to Zheng Ti's words, Ma Or felt a little regretful.

"Commander Ma, you don't have to regret this, we still have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, what you have to do now is to arrange tomorrow's first thing, arrange it properly, of course, it is not too late to arrange it tomorrow morning, but you must pay attention to this plan, you must not be disappointed, you must be cautious." Now I am most worried about General Zheng's safety, tomorrow night's fierce battle General Zheng will definitely bear the brunt, Lai Rong will definitely not let General Zheng go, but I will go tomorrow to transfer Long Li and Xiaotian, and be fully responsible for protecting General Zheng's safety. Ying Xue said with a stern expression, of course he had to take Zheng Ti's personal safety to heart.

"Yes, General!" Ma or also said solemnly, of course he knew the severity of this matter, if they failed, not only would they lose the Tianguan barrier, but they would also be gradually eaten by Lai Rong.

"Hahaha! The general will inevitably die on the battlefield, if tomorrow I Zheng someone really dies in front of the Xiongling Pass, I have no regrets, I can have a few times in my life, I am willing to fight to the death. Zheng Ti said with emotion.

"General Zheng don't worry, there are two of them, Long Li and Xiaotian, they should be able to protect you. Well, it's getting dark, and General Zheng and I should go back to sleep, recuperate, and prepare for the decisive battle tomorrow night. Alas, there are so many things going on tonight, our legs are all broken, aren't they, General Zheng?" Ying Xue saw that everything had been arranged, and the person was a little more relaxed, and said to Zheng Ti and Ma or the two half-jokingly.

"Yes, we should go back too, Brother Ma. We're going to take our leave, and our lives are in your hands. Hehe. "Zheng Ti saw Yingxue like this, although the battle tomorrow night. Life and death are unpredictable, but now he doesn't need to think so much, life and death are fate, thinking too much, but he is afraid, so he also easily said goodbye to the horse, ready to rush back to Tianguan.

"Okay, I'll arrange it too, General, Brother Zheng. Don't worry, I promise to give you your lives intact, and we'll meet again tomorrow night. Ma or also said lightly, only by putting down their hearts can they fight with all their might, so as to protect the lives of Zheng Ti and Yingxue to the greatest extent, of course, he and Zheng Ti don't know the scene of the battle between Yingxue and Xiaotian in the Northern Capital Palace, otherwise, they will definitely be more confident.

A qiē is proceeding as Eagle Snow expected, first of all. Zheng Ti wrote a letter asking Ying Xue Tong Guò Magic Array to be sent to Zhu Xiaochun, still using yesterday's strategy, telling him that because Zheng Ti rejected Lai Rong's surrender, Lai Rong wanted to strike first. According to credible intelligence, there may be an attack on Tianguan in the near future, and Lai Rong seems to have made an operation last night. may come to attack Tianguan, or set up ambushes on the road to attack Zhu Xiaochun and other Yunyun. After Zhu Xiaochun saw it, he was even more convinced that Zheng Ti was truly obedient to him. But. Now the time is pressing, and it is related to the survival of both sides, if Lai Rong is allowed to succeed, he Zhu Xiaochun will have no place to stand, and now he can't take care of anything else. Since it was something that was agreed upon yesterday, it will never change, regardless of any resistance. He asked Ying Xue to tell Zheng Ti that tonight with the rocket as the number, he would personally lead the army to take over Tianguan, and for the sake of safety, he added another army to the strength of the army, just in case.

After Yingxue got Zhu Xiaochun's affirmative reply, he immediately rushed back to Tianguan, and told Zheng Tie about Zhu Xiaochun's attitude, and the two discussed it and decided that when the time came, prepare two brigades of 20,000 troops to clean up the battlefield, no matter who loses or wins, the losing side will be wiped out, and the winning side will be brought back to Tianguan, and lured it to the front of the Xiongling Pass, and the horse or the force will be wiped out in front of the Xiongling Pass, and the horse or this side has been in accordance with the arrangement of Yingxue, completely ready to respond.

That night, Zhu Xiaochun took four armies of 160,000 people, sneaking all the way to prepare to take over Tianguan, because he had received the news of Zheng Ti in advance, maybe Lai Rong would come to ambush, so Zhu Xiaochun told all the troops to prepare for battle, because he was too cautious, he walked for most of the night for a distance of fifty miles before arriving at Longjing.

The terrain of the Dragon Path is dangerous, and it is the best place to set up an ambush, of course Zhu Xiaochun knows that this position is very dangerous, and once again told the troops to prepare for battle, as long as the Dragon Path is crossed, Tianguan is already in sight. However, the troops had been on guard all night, but there were no ambushes, so everyone had doubts about the source and accuracy of this information, and now they were about to reach their destination, but there was still no movement, and everyone was no longer on full alert and only responded to the orders from above. Although the troops were walking cautiously, they were no longer on guard, and when the vanguard of Zhu Xiaochun's troops passed halfway through the dragon path, an overwhelming rain of arrows shot out from the woods and grass on both sides, and the unsuspecting soldiers suddenly fell into a large area, and there was an uproar. However, although Zhu Xiaochun's troops were not careful to be on guard, they still made some precautions after all, at least psychologically, so they were not disorganized by this rain of arrows, and they were immediately ready for battle.

At this time, it was the middle of the night, Lai Rong's ambush soldiers thought that an unexpected rain of arrows would definitely cause Zhu Xiaochun's troops to be in chaos, and after the rain of arrows, they quickly killed from the flanks on both sides, trying to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, but what they didn't expect to see was the enemy army who were waiting for the battle, but now they were ready to shoot, and without the slightest hesitation, the two sides immediately fought fiercely.

The number and strength of both sides are the same, this battle is extremely fierce, a brutal tug-of-war, this battle has no skills at all, the troops on both sides can only fight bravely, only if they will knock themselves down have a chance to survive, the soldiers also know the reason, everyone is fighting desperately, and Zhu Xiaochun's side, because the commander personally went into battle to fight, morale was greatly boosted, gradually, on the contrary, the ambush of Lai Rong's four armies was still at a disadvantage, Zhu Xiaochun had already killed the red eye, saw that he had the upper hand, and immediately ordered the troops to be completely wiped out, and all the enemy troops must be wiped out, no need to leave a living mouth, give an order, the battle is even more fierce, Lai Rong's troops know, anyway, there is no way to live, it is better to fight to the death, and the two sides are in a stalemate, and it is difficult to separate.

Just when Zhu Xiaochun saw that he had gained the upper hand and saw that it would not take long to eliminate the ambush soldiers, suddenly a sound of rushing and killing sounded from behind him, and Zhu Xiaochun's troops were killed in a big mess by surprise.

"The general Lai Rong is here, and those who block it will die!" With a burst of shouts, all the way troops, from Zhu Xiaochun's back to kill, Zhu Xiaochun himself was also caught off guard, was killed by the people of this army, and Lai Rong's four army soldiers heard that their commander came to reinforce themselves, immediately morale greatly increased, came a big counterattack, Zhu Xiaochun's troops saw that the commander was dead, and he was surrounded again, immediately lost his fighting spirit, and immediately came to a big reversal, Zhu Xiaochun's soldiers rushed with their heads in their hands, scrambling to flee for their lives, Lai Rong was also the same as Zhu Xiaochun, issued a killing order, and killed all Zhu Xiaochun's soldiers, leaving no room for survival。

Lai Rong saw that he had uprooted Zhu Xiaochun, thinking that he would take over Tianguan today, and he would be able to take over Zhu Xiaochun's territory tomorrow, he couldn't help laughing, and only then did he think that he was here to take over Tianguan, so he urgently ordered his subordinates to release magic flames and inform Zheng Ti to open the gate of Tianguan City to answer him.
