Shanchun City, the camp of the Yi army.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Emperor Li and Li Zhenwei stared at the map with a gloomy face.

In the past few months, he has tried his best and exhausted all kinds of methods, killing and wounding nearly 10,000 soldiers, but he has never been able to break through the Xuan camp in Shanchun City.

I thought that I could easily defeat Emperor Deng like an ant, but the fact was that the 150,000 people were rejected by one-tenth of the opponent's troops in front of Shanchun City, and it was difficult to advance an inch.

Whoa!

Emperor Li, who was on fire, waved his hand and flipped the map on the case to the ground along with pen and ink.

The servants all changed color, and they all dared not take a mouthful, for fear of being provoked.

The curtain was changed, and one person stepped in, it was General Zhengwang, looking at the mess all over the ground, General Zhengwang was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth swept over a beautiful arc, stepped forward to salute, took out a book from his sleeve, and said softly: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent secret report in the imperial city!" ”

Emperor Li was upset, he had no intention of looking, and waved his hand and said, "If there is any secret report, let's say it." ”

General Zhengwang opened the silk book, looked at it carefully for a while, and then said with a solemn expression: "The book said that when Ling Zirui was in the imperial city, he often abused people's property, and his son abducted the prefect's daughter on the street the day before yesterday and humiliated him, and even more, he took bribes and embezzled the people's taxes for his own use. ”

Emperor Li was on fire, and when he heard this, his face was even more gloomy, and the "snap" was the anger of the case.

"At this juncture, Ling Zirui connived at his son to cause trouble, I really don't know the severity!" Li Zhenwei rebuked angrily.

"When Your Majesty is extremely spoken, this Ling Zirui is too unscrupulous to rely on Your Majesty's favor." General Zhengwang's pretty face showed a touch of inexplicability, but he quickly covered it up and continued: "The last general still has one thing to worry about Ling Zirui, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

"Tell me, what good did he do?" Emperor Li said with a glare.

General Zhengwang's cold voice came slowly: "The last time Yunlin happened, his intelligence mistakes caused His Majesty to fall for the tricks of the Xuan army, and the last general was only afraid that he ......did it on purpose."

When Emperor Li heard General Zhengwang's words, he was immediately furious, and said sharply: "I treat Ling Zirui well, he actually has a heart of treason!" “

Enraged, Emperor Li ordered on the spot to send someone to escort Ling Zirui back to ask for the crime.

General Zhengwang said: "Ling Zirui has a fine net, if His Majesty openly sends someone to arrest him, if he hears the news, it will not be good to defect to Xuan Guo in advance." ”

"And what do you say you should do?" Emperor Li exhaled angrily.

General Zhengwang softly offered a plan to Li Zhenwei.

Back to the tent.

General Zhengwang's fingers swiped a few times, and the armor clicked crisply, and it was removed in response, revealing a slender waist.

Dressed in pear-yellow underwear, with light eyebrows, slightly drooping eyes, and a light smile at the corners of his lips, he has the posture of captivating the country and the city, but unfortunately no one appreciates it, and no one dares to appreciate it.

The bonfire was blazing, and General Zhengwang took out a southern secret letter from his sleeve and threw it into the fire, burning it out.

General Zhengwang stared at the bonfire, and no one knew what he was thinking.

……

South, Anseong.

Twenty days have passed since the defeat of Deng Zhe of Xuan State.

In the past 20 days, Xu Han reorganized Zhou Liang's department and the remnants left by Zhang Baihai.

Xu Han chose his strength and his old and weak, and finally refined the 5,000-foot army, and in the name of Emperor Li, appointed Cheng Ping and Zhou Liang as captains to control all departments.

Together with a thousand cavalry, Xu Han always has 6,000 cavalry available.

Deng Zhe was defeated, Xuan Guo was bound to lead the army soon, Xu Han could not stay in the south for too long, and these 6,000 steps were the first pot of gold he could dig.

Xu Han originally planned to lead the 6,000 cavalry and leave the south for Luoyang City as soon as possible, but considering the bet with Ling Zirui, Xu Han decided to postpone the trip and stay in the south temporarily, while seizing the time to train the newly formed soldiers while waiting for news.

In the afternoon, Xu Han received a secret order sent by Emperor Li from the front line of Shanchun City.

When Xu Han opened the secret letter and looked at it, he couldn't help but smile on his face, but he quickly sighed: "The favor owed is greater...... I wonder how she feels when she knows that I have betrayed the Yi Clan......"

Xu Han closed the letter, and Cheng Ping hurriedly came outside the door, and arched his hand: "General, the people under him just came to report, and a strange guest came to Mr. Ling's house, and after Mr. Ling talked to him, his emotions suddenly became very excited. ”

These days, Xu Han has been secretly monitoring Ling Zirui by Cheng Ping, after all, before he is sure that he is truly obedient, Xu Han still has to guard against this resourceful strategist.

"It's a double blessing today."

Xu Han laughed and got up, and went straight to see Ling Zirui with the handwritten message from Emperor Li.

When he pushed open the door, Xu Han saw Ling Zirui, whose face was flushed, gritting his teeth, and he was extremely angry, holding a silk book tightly in his hand, and his joints were gurgling, as if he wanted to crush the silk book.

Seeing Ling Zirui's appearance, Xu Han knew that everything was expected by him.

"Mr. Ling looks like this, if I guess correctly, sir, your family has already been poisoned by the Taifu lineage." Xu Han asked lightly.

Ling Zirui tore the silk book in his hand to shreds, and said hatefully: "If you don't take revenge for this revenge, I, Ling Zirui, am not a human being!" ”

"It seems that my guess is correct, and I would rather be wrong than suffer such a catastrophe for my husband's family." Xu Han sighed.

Ling Zirui's sad and indignant face suddenly flashed a trace of shock, he remembered the bet, remembered Xu Han's prediction, at this moment, he had an indescribable shock to Xu Han.

A martial artist who was regarded as brave and unscrupulous a few months ago, but today he has such incredible foresight, and Ling Zirui, who has always regarded himself as a witty man, also lost to him, how can this not shock Ling Zirui.

"General Xu......" Ling Zirui's mind was confused, and he was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

Looking at Ling Zirui's shocked expression, a trace of pride passed through Xu Han's heart.

"Mr. Ling, in fact, you are wrong, the person who really harmed you is not the Taifu lineage, if you only think about revenge, you are putting the cart before the horse." Xu Han said meaningfully.

Ling Zirui came back to his senses from the shock, and said blankly: "It's obvious that Taifu and others framed me, if I don't seek revenge from them, who else can I find?" ”

"After reading this, you will naturally know." Xu Han took Emperor Li's secret edict out of his sleeve and handed it to him.

In the secret order, Li Zhenwei ordered Xu Han to arrest Ling Zirui on the spot and secretly send him back to the camp in Shanchun City.

Ling Zirui took it apart and looked at it, his already angry face turned white with a brush, and his whole body trembled like a dead leaf in the wind.

"Your Majesty is going to put me in prison!"

Ling Zirui's voice was hoarse, and his expression of disappointment was even more sad and angry.

Xu Leng said coldly: "If there is no connivance of Emperor Li, how can Taifu dare to easily move Mr. Wang's family to form an enmity with the sky?" Now that Emperor Li has secretly ordered me to arrest you, who is the murderer who really wants to kill you, don't you understand? ”

After all the foreshadowing, Xu Han sent out the strongest blow.

Ling Zirui's heart was hit by a hammer, he was dizzy, and he was almost about to faint.

After taking a few deep breaths, Ling Zirui finally eased up, gritted his teeth and said: "I have been running for Emperor Li for twenty years, even if I have no merit, I have worked hard, I didn't expect him to be so mean, treat me like this, it is really unkind and hateful!" Hateful! ”

Ling Zirui was furious, and his teeth were clenched.

Looking at his expression, Xu Han knew that Ling Zirui had been completely disappointed in Emperor Li, which was exactly the effect he wanted.

As for the king wanting his ministers to die, the ministers have to die, but they are just foolish and loyal, and everyone cherishes their own lives.

Taking advantage of Ling Zirui's anger, Xu Han said: "Mr. has been running for Emperor Li for half his life, but he ended up like this, I have made great contributions to Emperor Li's bloody battle, but he is suspicious, so unruly and loyal monarch, if the two of us give him our lives again, won't the world laugh at us for being stupid." ”

The anger gradually stopped, Ling Zirui's expression gradually fell silent, but a little suspicion quietly flashed in his eyes.

Although he had broken with Emperor Li, Ling Zirui was still suspicious about whether to follow Xu Hanming.

Although in the past few months, Xu Han has shown that he is completely a soldier worth following, but after all, Xu Han at the moment has less than 10,000 soldiers, and if you talk about your family background, you are inferior to any vassal king in the world.

Ling Zirui was thinking, will there be a future with Xu Han?

Xu Han also saw his thoughts, and said: "Sir, has you forgotten Li Yu, the ancestor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, he was an orphan when he was young, let alone Fang Mou today?" Ling Zirui's courage is slightly beyond ordinary people, is he already depressed, and he doesn't have the ambition and courage of the day! ”

Ling Zirui's expression was suddenly shocked, and Xu Han's impassioned words rekindled his fighting spirit.

He seemed to feel the blood that had been dormant for a long time gradually boiling.

After pondering for a long time, Ling Zirui raised his head violently, looked at Xu Han's knife-like gaze, and said proudly: "There has never been anything in the world that I Ling Zirui is afraid of, General Xu, I am willing to gamble and lose!" ”

The sentence "willing to gamble and lose" means that he has to put aside everything in the past, and finally got on Xu Han's "thief ship" with an iron heart.

The big deal is death, anyway, Yi Guo can't go back, it's better to follow Xu Han all the way to the dark.

With this great talent, Xu Han was overjoyed in his heart, and said: "Come on, bring wine, I want to get drunk with Mr. Ling today!" ”

Xu Han was in a good mood that day, and he drank happily with Ling Zirui, and he didn't stop until he was drunk.
