Chapter 539 is no coincidence
Guan Xuehu was worried that Pei Ji would capture Changqing County, and he couldn't explain it clearly with his situation. He could only withdraw from the county seat in advance, rushed to Jizhao County before being caught by Pei Ji, and asked Ning Ze in person why he was so pitiful.
I didn't dare to delay at all, hurried to leave Changqing County, and hurried non-stop.
When Pei Ji arrived in Changqing County, he saw that the city gate was wide open, and only a few county soldiers guarded it.
When I entered the city, I heard that Guan Xuehu abandoned the city and left, and I couldn't help but despise it.
Bian Shiyu and others were released from the prison and told them to deal with the affairs of Changqing County on their own, and the army immediately set off and chased in the direction of Jizhao County.
Guan Xuehu fled all the way to Jizhao County, and before he reached the city gate, he heard the sound of killing in front of him, and two armies fought fiercely, and it seemed that they were moving all the way from the direction of Jizhao County.
The scout came to report, and one of the teams seemed to be Bai Chaoxin.
Guan Xuehu didn't say a word, and rushed forward with his soldiers and horses.
Bai Chaoxin's team obviously didn't have many people, and they fled while fighting. found that Guan Xuehu was overjoyed, and hurried over to meet.
Guan Xuehu led his troops to assault and fight with the army pursuing Bai Chaoxin, and after a fierce battle, the other party was defeated and retreated.
Bai Chaoxin, who escaped, found Guan Xuehu and said to him anxiously: "There are people trapped in the city, hurry up and kill Liu Congzhi!"
"Liu Congzhi?" Guan Xuehu joined the battlefield halfway, in fact, he didn't know who the opponent was, and he was stunned when he said this, "Liu Congzhi, the county commander of Jizhao County, why did you fight with him?"
"It's too late to explain, take him down first and explain slowly!" Bai Chaoxin shouted anxiously, "There is a friend who helped me is still in the city, and the situation is critical!"
Guan Xuehu Xin said that there was no time to explain slowly? Later, Pei Ji would call at any time! So he asked loudly, "Where is Ning Ze?"
"He's going to Pingxian! Don't worry about this for now, hurry up and take advantage of the victory to pursue and take down Liu Congzhi!" Bai Chaoxin urged, "Let's talk about Ning Ze later." β
Guan Xuehu saw that he was so anxious, and there was no nonsense, although he didn't know the situation in Jizhao County, he would definitely help his own people first.
So he cooperated with Bai Chaoxin to kill the gate of Jizhao County.
Liu Congzhi was stunned by Guan Xuehu, who suddenly appeared, and urgently retreated.
When he ran near the city gate, he suddenly found that the gate was closed, and he stopped himself outside. In desperation, he stepped forward and shouted: "Who doesn't have long eyes? Without an order from this county, you dare to close the city gate without authorization! Why don't you open it quickly!"
As soon as the words fell, Tao Jing and Shen Fu appeared on the city wall, surrounded by their cronies and subordinates.
Tao actually condescended and shouted loudly: "Now that the situation is chaotic, in order to prevent thieves from entering the city, we can only close the city gate in advance?
Liu Congzhi was furious, pointed to the city and scolded: "Dare Tao Jing, don't you open the city gate quickly? Aren't you afraid that this county will punish you for your crimes?"
"County Zun should worry about yourself!" Tao actually pointed to the Guan Xuehu army that was killed directly.
"Tao Jingββ!" Liu Congzhi obviously didn't expect that he would be tricked by a few little people who don't look down on weekdays.
At the moment, there was no time to figure out the context of the whole thing? There was no time to ask why Tao actually did this?
Guan Xuehu led the troops to kill, and it was very unexpected to see that Liu Congzhi, the county commander of Jizhao County, was locked outside the gate of Jizhao County.
I think it may be the "friends" in Bai Chaoxin's mouth.
With his current position, he didn't have time to figure out why Bai Chaoxin fought with the county magistrate of Jizhao County?
Bai Chaoxin also came over and took the soldiers around him to participate in the battle.
After a fierce battle outside the city gate, Liu Congzhi's army was already taken by surprise and was a little chaotic, and was locked outside the city gate by his own people. During the battle, Tao Jing and Shen Fu's troops released cold arrows from the city wall from time to time, and in a state of attack on both sides? The county lieutenant saw that the situation was not good, and surrendered first, just to survive.
As soon as the county lieutenant took the lead, more Jizhao county officials stopped resisting in order to save their lives, and the original one-sided situation became even more irreversible.
Finally, Guan Xuehu's army broke the last line of defense and captured Liu Congzhisheng.
Tao Jing and Shen Fu opened the city gate and came out to meet Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin.
"What's going on?" Finally able to take a breath, Guan Xuehu hurriedly asked Bai Chaoxin.
Bai Chaoxin explained the situation here one by one, and said that Liu Congzhi sent someone to replace him, led his troops to Pingxian with Ning Ze, and then entered the city with Hao Ning secretly reminded him that Liu Congzhi was not thinking well, and then the showdown between the two sides later, Liu Congzhi ordered Bai Chaoxin to be arrested, Bai Chaoxin escaped all the way out of the city, and met Guan Xuehu at the last moment, which escaped a catastrophe.
Unexpectedly, Tao Jing and Shen Fu would suddenly turn against each other and block Liu Congzhi outside the city.
Seeing Tao Jing and Shen Fu coming over, and Hao Ning and Chu Xiao appeared behind him, Guan Xuehu quickly understood according to his own experience, pointed at them and frowned and said: "All this must be arranged by Ning Ze, yes or no? You are all Ning Ze's subordinates, deliberately creating this situation!"
Bai Chaoxin didn't figure out what was going on until now, he only knew that Liu Congzhi suddenly dealt with him, and then Hao Ning secretly reminded and helped. Listening to Guan Xuehu say this, he looked at the four people opposite in confusion.
In fact, Guan Xuehu guessed correctly, Tao Jing and the four of them secretly admonished Liu Congzhi according to Ning Ze's layout, provoked him to deal with Bai Chaoxin, and then secretly told Bai Chaoxin that Liu Congzhi wanted to kill him and deliberately forced him to be like this. Only Guan Xuehu's appearance was a little surprising, the original plan was to secretly assist Bai Chaoxin to take out Jizhao County, he would naturally chase him to Ping County, and try to retrieve the army that was temporarily handed over to Zhu Qiang and Puhu.
Of course, Tao Jing and the four of them would not admit it, so they pretended to be stupid.
Facing Guan Xuehu's questioning, Hao Ning came out and said: "General Guan doesn't want to slander the four of us, we have nothing to do with Ning Ze, let alone be instructed by him! The county respected the suspicion of General Bai and General Guan, and said that you have taken refuge in Ning Ze, how can General Guan suspect us in turn?"
"Are you thinking too much?" was finally saved by Tao Jing and them, Bai Chaoxin preferred to believe them, and asked Guan Xuehu instead.
Guan Xuehu was very sure, if it wasn't for Ning Ze's intervention, how could it be so coincidental?
Although his situation is different from Bai Chaoxin's, the overall experience is somewhat similar.
It was all the county order that was suspicious and wanted to harm itself, and then someone came to help, causing the two sides to be in a state of hostility and being forced to retreat. The only difference is that the identities of those people in black are unrecognizable, their whereabouts are unknown, and Bai Chaoxin's side is on the bright side.
"What does Ning Ze want to do?" Guan Xuehu was 100% sure that Tao Jing and the four of them were inseparable from Ning Ze.
"General Guan, I really don't understand what you're talking about!" Tao Jing shook his head and said, "Now is not the time to discuss this, right? Liu Congzhi and his county soldiers are all captured, including other officials in the county, what should be done here, and please give me a word!"
"This matter has nothing to do with me, why did it happen to me?" Guan Xuehu frowned, "Ning Ze did this on purpose, there must be some trap, right?"
"General Guan misunderstood, a few of us just didn't want General Bai to be killed, so we helped. Chu Xiao said, "How did you know that things would develop like this? It was General Guan who defeated and captured the county honor, and only General Guan had the strength to control Jizhao County, we can only ask you!"
"Really?" Guan Xuehu didn't believe it, and his eyes swept over Tao Jing and the four of them.
"Brother Guan, it's better to go into the city first, let's sit down and explain the whole thing carefully. Bai Chaoxin's mind was a little confused, so he said beside him.
Guan Xuehu shook his head when he heard this, turned his head and told him: "You can't stay here for a long time!"
"Why?" Bai Chaoxin was puzzled.
"Pei Ji led his troops to kill, I'm afraid he will catch up soon. If you enter the city, you are very likely to be blocked. Guan Xuehu replied, "With our current strength, we can't resist it at all." β
"Pei Ji?" Bai Chaoxin hurriedly said, "Although we can't beat it, maybe we can explain it clearly in person, so that he can understand that we have not betrayed Nancheng." β
"How can it be so simple?" Guan Xuehu sighed, "I can't explain what happened in Changqing County, not to mention that this is the situation again." You haven't understood it yet, we have all been tricked by Ning Ze! Even the county magistrates of Changqing County and Jizhao County, including other officials, don't believe us, there is no way to explain, do you think that with Pei Ji's status and status, he will patiently listen to the defense of our two little people? With his character, he will definitely kill directly and take the heads of you and me!"
Bai Chaoxin's face changed, and then he realized the seriousness of the problem: "Then what should I do?"
Guan Xuehu turned his head to look at Tao Jing, Shen Fu, Hao Ning, and Chu Xiao, and said in a deep voice: "The whole thing is too coincidental, you must be ordered by Ning Ze, I can be sure of this! What is Ning Ze's purpose in doing this?"
"General Guan, you really misunderstood us!" Shen Fu replied, "Really, the kind help has fallen into a situation of suspicion!"
"You don't have to tell me this, it's obvious, otherwise how can there be so many coincidences?" Guan Xuehu said, "Do you dare to follow me to Pingxian County and find Ning Ze to confront him face to face!"
"Are you going to find Ning Ze?" Bai Chaoxin asked him on the side.
Guan Xuehu nodded at him: "You and I are in a situation now, there is only one way to go, and that is to find Ning Ze! He has forced us to this extent, and he obviously has a plan." Do you think it's a coincidence that the two of us are suspected and in the same dangerous situation? β
"What is his intention in doing this?" Bai Chaoxin couldn't understand.
"If you want to find out about this matter, you can only ask him face to face!" Guan Xuehu turned to Tao Jing, "What's the matter, you don't admit that you are under Ning Ze's order, but you dare to go to Pingxian with the two of us and confront Ning Ze in front of you!"
Tao Jing, Shen Fu, and Hao Ning looked at each other, and after eye contact, they almost said in unison: "Why don't you dare?"
"Okay! Then let's set off immediately and rush to Pingxian!"
"Wait, what to do with these people?" Bai Chaoxin pointed to the captured Liu Congzhi and the other surrendered officials.
Guan Xuehu frowned suddenly.
Tao actually stood up: "It's better to be like this! The county zun will definitely stay, and the others will either stay with the county zun or go to Ping County together, and these county soldiers will definitely be taken away, lest the county zun lead the troops to chase and kill after he is free." β
