Suixian County was conquered, and then there was no barrier, and all the counties were collapsed at the touch of a button.

Ning Zejun successfully arrived in Hexi County.

At present, the person stationed in Hexi County is Lu Cong's henchman, who is also a cousin of the Lu family, and is currently the general of Liang Guozhengdong and the Taishou of Hexi Lu Jian.

To be photographed as a taishou in Hexi County, Lu Jian's ability is worthy of recognition, otherwise Lu Cong will not rest assured.

Knowing that Ning Ze was coming, Lu Jian asked people to fly pigeons to inform Sima Fa, and at the same time led the troops to set up a long snake formation near Hexi County, and waited for the battle.

Ning Ze's soldiers and horses arrived.

Seeing this formation, Hua Erniang asked for help: "The concubine will lead the troops to break the formation and capture Hexi!"

Along the way, more than a dozen county towns were conquered, and many surrendered soldiers and horses were included in Ning Ze's ranks, and there were now 20,000 people.

Hexi County currently has about 30,000 defenders, which is not much different. Under the effect of the First Emperor's tactics, coupled with the sustainable combat of the Divine Calculation, it is not difficult to defeat the opponent head-on.

And it must be resolved quickly, lest Sima Fa react.

So Ning Ze said: "Together with Lone, a frontal assault!"

"Whoa!"

Ning Ze opened the First Emperor's tactics, and the attributes of the whole army skyrocketed, and with an order, he followed to kill Hexi.

"Meet the enemy!!" Seeing that Ning Ze personally led the troops to kill, Lu Jian personally commanded, and the whole army lined up to meet the battle.

The two armies met on the battlefield and fought together.

Lu Jianjun has a firm formation, unity from top to bottom, and strict military discipline.

This army can be said to be a truly strong army that can stand the test of war.

But when he met Ning Ze, he could only be said to be too unlucky.

The Ning Ze army, which was in the First Emperor's tactics, was as crazy as having fought chicken blood. Led by the Futu Army, there are Hua Erniang's A-level troops to adapt and play a great role.

Anyway, both sides are desperate to fight each other, and they are hard-hitting.

The problem is that the attrition of Lu Jianjun's army is real attrition, and there are more and more casualties in the fierce battles.

On the other hand, on Ning Ze's side, when the battle damage reached a certain level, he immediately switched to the magic doctor tactics, and 100% of the wounded soldiers recovered, which simply made the enemy collapse.

While constantly suffering from battle losses, while constantly recovering, in contrast, the advantage of Lu Jian's army gradually disappeared.

Ning Ze and Hua Erniang rushed into the enemy's battle formation, and the two super high forces killed the opponent's generals as simple as chopping melons and vegetables, like a tiger rushing into the flock, difficult to resist.

As the superiority of troops disappeared under the opponent's cheating tactics, more and more troops were killed by the opponent, many teams lost their command, and Lu Jian's army was finally broken and fled in defeat.

Ning Zejun chased all the way to the vicinity of the city gate, but the other party closed the city gate tightly and held out.

Back in the city, Lu Jian summoned his subordinates to ask for countermeasures.

The deputy general Zhang You came out of the queue and said: "Ning Ze is proficient in spells, and it is extremely difficult to deal with! In my opinion, when you stick to the city, please ask Sima Dudu to come to the aid quickly, so that you can resist!"

Lu Jian thought so, and originally wanted to defeat Ning Ze in person, but he was taught a lesson by the other party on the battlefield and almost couldn't come back.

The main reason is that his "spell" is excessive, which makes the whole army so crazy, and all the wounded soldiers can be healed in an instant, no matter how serious the injury is, as long as there is a breath, there is no problem, and the soldiers are naturally fearless!

In this situation, a head-to-head confrontation is simply suicidal.

It's just that Ning Zejun is so crazy, if he storms the city, he won't be able to hold it for too long, and it will be difficult to hold on until Sima Fa's army comes to help.

Lu Jian shared this doubt with his subordinates.

The chief official Shen Shan thought about it for a while, and made a suggestion: "Fuzun can withdraw the garrison of the gold mine outside the city, and at the same time let people deliberately spread the news so that Ning Ze will know." First, the gold mine garrison will return to the city to consolidate the defense, and second, Ning Ze will definitely send people to occupy the gold mine, and after the division of troops, the pressure on our side will be much less, and we will definitely be able to hold out until the governor brings troops to help! ”

"But the gold mine is extremely important, how can it be easily handed over to the enemy, and how can it be compensated for the losses caused?" Lu Jian frowned.

"Don't worry, Ning Zejun came in a hurry, and there was no manpower to mine the gold mine. Shen Shan said with a smile, "There is no benefit except to divide troops and weaken strength!"

Lu Jian thought about it carefully and felt that there was some truth: "I will make arrangements quickly with the plan of the chief." ”

"Whoa!"

The transfer of troops in Hexi County, of course, Ning Ze was clear.

He has a virtual map, and the other party's every move cannot be hidden.

Obviously, the other side decided to hold on to the city, stalling for time and waiting for help.

It's a pity that Sima Fa can't get out at all, Wang Tong is the stand-in, Ouyang Chun and Chu Wenxiu are on the side, in his opinion, he is fighting with Ning Ze himself, and he can't be negligent for a moment.

Lu Jian transferred the gold mine garrison back to the city, and deliberately let people pretend to be deserters to join Ning Ze and spread the information about the gold mine.

The people below learned the information and really eagerly informed Ning Ze.

Ning Ze was unmoved: "It's just an enemy's strategy, and I want to weaken my strength by dividing my troops alone." Capture Hexi County, and the gold mine is still in hand. ”

Ignored it and ordered a storming of the city.

Seeing that Ning Ze was not scheming, Lu Jian led his troops to hold on, and finally blocked a wave of offensives, so he hurriedly asked his subordinates: "Ning Ze did not fall for the plan, refused to divide his troops to seize the gold mine, and attacked the city with all his might, what can I do?"

Shen Shan, the chief officer, thought about it carefully, and stepped forward to offer advice: "Ning Ze is fierce and invincible. Since there is no plan, he is unwilling to divide his troops to seize the gold mines. Xia Guan can go out of the city and negotiate with Ning Ze's army as an envoy. ”

"Negotiations?"

"That's right! The two countries are at war without killing envoys, and the lower officials went to see Ning Ze in the name of the Fuzun to discuss the surrender and sacrifice of the city. ”

"Bold!" Lu Jian took the case, "How can Lu betray his brother and surrender to the enemy and sacrifice the city!"

"Fu Zun is angry!" Shen Shan said, "This trip is not really descending, just delaying time. As long as Ning Ze believes that he is willing to suspend the negotiation between the soldiers and the lower officials, he will be able to buy time and wait for reinforcements!"

Hearing this, Lu Jian's face looked better: "If this is the case, it is a good plan! It's just that this trip is dangerous, can the chief be sure?"

"With the incorruptible tongue of the lower official, he will be able to bluff Ning Ze!"

"In that case, please ask the chief to go out of the city and give it a try!"

"Whoa!"

After Shen Shan went home, he explained the matter to his mother.

Suddenly, he heard that Yamen General Liu Tu was visiting, so he hurriedly met him and asked about his intentions.

Liu Tu said to him: "The chief will be able to make a contribution on this trip and be respected by the government." It was also a clever plan to withdraw the garrison in the gold mines before! I have a matter that I would like to discuss with the chief. When it happens, you and I can both benefit!"

"Oh?" Shen Shan asked curiously, "What does the general want to discuss with me?"

"Now that the gold mine garrison has been transferred back, after retreating from the enemy, the chief official will say a few kind words for me, if I can replace it, you and I will share the benefits!" Liu Tu said in a low voice.

In fact, it is an unwritten rule that the gold mine garrison is responsible for protecting the minerals, and basically a part of it will be swallowed up, as long as there is no problem on the books, no one will pursue it. I have always done this, deceiving my superiors and subordinates to enrich my own pockets.

Liu Tu has been in this position for a long time, but it is not his turn.

This time, seeing Shen Shanlian's strategy, if he succeeds, he may be able to get Lu Jin's trust and become his confidant, and when the time comes, he will say a few words, plus the connections he has managed during this time, he should be able to succeed, so he came over to discuss.

When Shen Shan heard this, his face suddenly changed: "Now that the enemy is present, the general does not think of retreating from the enemy, and still wants to use his power for personal gain?

Liu Tu was kicked out of the Shen family and held a grudge.

Shen Shan thought about the overall situation and knew that in the face of Ning Ze, he should try to unite as much as possible, and any internal struggle could make the situation worse. So he didn't report Liu Tu, and decided to look at the situation after repelling Ning Ze.

Shen Shan went out of the city and went to the Ningze military camp as an envoy.

Unexpectedly, Liu Tu held a grudge and secretly spread rumors, saying that Shen Shan was pretending to offer advice and delay, but in fact, he had already betrayed him, and he must have plotted to defect to Ning Ze and betray Hexi County.

Rumors are the scariest thing in the world, and they spread quickly.

When Lu Jian heard the rumors, although he felt that the credibility was not high, he also had concerns in his heart.

Liu Tu added fuel to the fire, spread rumors again, and made an article written by Shen Shan far-fetched, extracting one of the sentences "Looking at Donglin from afar and seeing the splendor", implying that Shen Shan had the intention of taking refuge in Huaguo a long time ago.

Shen Shan's poem is actually about the beautiful scenery of Donglin outside Hexi County, and the meaning has completely changed under his interpretation.

Huaguo is in the east of Liang State, and Donglin is interpreted as east, isn't that Huaguo?

Seeing the splendid is interpreted as "seeing a splendid country in the east", and naturally "the heart yearns for it".

Then he let people continue to spread rumors, Shen Shan proposed the first time to give the gold mine to Ning Ze, the king of Danyang in Huaguo, and the second time he proposed to surrender the city, and he had a clear idea of what he had in mind. Everyone was kept in the dark, and when Shen Shan completely threw himself into Ning Ze and came back, it would be too late to trick the city gate into opening the city gate and enlarging the army to come in!

Rumors spread, and the more they spread, the more fierce they became.

Lu Jian, who initially chose to believe in Shen Shan, finally became suspicious.

But Shen Shan had already left the city and arrived in Ning Ze's army, so he couldn't confront him face to face.

After thinking about it, for the sake of insurance, he sent people to surround the Shen family, and kept Shen Shan's mother and other family members close and did not go out.

When Shen Shan arrived in Ning Ze's tent, he acted according to the plan, indicating that Lu Jian wanted to surrender the city, but he had to negotiate the conditions.

Of course, Ning Ze knew Shen Shan's thoughts, but he was delaying time under the pretext of surrendering the city, hoping to hold on until reinforcements arrived.

He pretended to be very interested, and left Shen Shan to discuss the matter and negotiate on the surface. But in order to paralyze the other party, he waited for the opportunity to move and kill with one blow!

After two days of negotiations, someone suddenly claimed to be a servant of the Shen family, and there was an emergency that needed to meet Shen Shan.

The man saw Shen Shan and whispered in his ear: "There are rumors in the city, all of them say that the master wants to join the Huaguo and wants to take Hexi County as a gift!

"Who spread rumors and wanted to harm me?" Shen Shan was shocked.

"I don't know!" replied the servant, "the lord let me out, and asked me to bring back the master's own letter to prove my innocence!"

Shen Shan wrote a letter by himself and handed it to the servant: "Quickly hand over this letter to Fuzun!"

The servant left the Ningze military camp and hurried back to the city.

After entering the city, he did not go directly to Taishou Mansion, but met with Liu Tu, the general of Yamen, and handed him the letter.

It turned out that Liu Tu took the initiative to take care of the Shen family and privately bribed the servants. After reading the letter, he smiled coldly, directly tore it apart, and took out another letter that imitated Shen Shan's notes: "Give this letter to Fu Zun, and you will be prosperous and rich in the rest of your life, all look at this!"

"Whew!" the servant hurriedly took the letter and hurried to the Taishou Mansion.
