With the help of Zhao Shiyun, Zhao Shiyu and Pan Jinlian successfully deceived those guards and left their palace.

After going through this most difficult level, the next step is much easier.

Zhao Shiyun sent Zhao Shiyu and Pan Jinlian back to her Changqing Palace, and told them to pack their luggage, because it was impossible for the two of them to come out with their luggage just now, and she went to ask Song Huizong to leave the palace.

In Song Huizong's heart, Zhao Shiyun's daughter has always been very reassuring to him, so he agreed without asking too much, and said that he would send his personal guards to protect her.

Of course Zhao Shiyun refused, otherwise the matter of her sister and Pan Jinlian would be exposed.

Song Huizong didn't insist too much, he knew that Zhao Shiyun was also a member of the guard group with perseverance, but he just told her to pay more attention to safety on the road.

Zhao Shiyun returned to Changqing Palace, and Zhao Shiyu and Pan Jinlian also packed their luggage.

In fact, there is not much to pack, the most important thing is the various belongings that Zhao Shiyu gave to Pan Jinlian.

After this period of getting along, the relationship between the two of them has become like sisters, and now that they are going to separate, Zhao Shiyu of course wants to give all the good things to Pan Jinlian as much as possible, and then fill a medium-sized box.

Since she brought so much belongings, Zhao Shiyun also brought six personal guards and two palace maids, these eight people are all people who have won her trust, even if she knows the identities of Zhao Shiyu and Pan Jinlian halfway, she doesn't have to worry about reporting to Song Huizong.

After everything was cleaned up, Zhao Shiyun and the others immediately set off and went to Yanggu County to find Zeng Hao.

At this time, Zhao Shiyu didn't know that Zeng Hao was the leader of Liangshan, and Zhao Shiyun didn't know that Pan Jinlian's husband was actually Zeng Hao.

……

After nearly half a month of marching, the Jiangzhou army led by Cai Jiu finally arrived at its destination and camped twenty miles away from Yuncheng.

Zeng Haochao also knew about them for the first time, and they all stood on the city wall and watched.

Because the city wall of Yuncheng is very high, and there is a flat river in front of the city wall, Zeng Hao and they can clearly see the dense Jiangzhou army.

Let's not talk about what will happen in actual combat, but at first glance, this posture does give everyone in Liangshan a strong sense of oppression.

Except for Lin Chong, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, everyone else has seen this kind of scene for the first time, even if it is Hua Rong, who was born in a Jiangmen family.

Seeing everyone's solemn expressions, Zeng Hao encouraged them: "Don't be afraid, they just look powerful, but in fact they are useless, not to mention that we have been recuperating for so long, and we are still guarding the city, they have been on the road for so long, people are tired, the time and place are favorable, and we have the upper hand in everything, so although they sent a large number of people this time, I believe that we will definitely be able to easily repel them as usual!" ”

After listening to Zeng Hao's words, everyone gradually regained their confidence, and shouted in unison, "Liangshan will win", and the shouts resounded through the sky, even Cai Jiu, who was camping twenty miles away, heard them.

"Victory? Scold. Cai Jiu looked at Yuncheng in the distance, with a mocking smile on his face, "Do you really think that if you occupy a city, you can block my army?" ”

Hu Yanzhuo, who was standing on the side and gave him the nickname Double Whip, directly asked Cai Jiu for his life and said: "Commander Cai, the last general can bring 2,000 soldiers and 1,000 cavalry to call the battle, and first frustrate their prestige!" ”

Cai Jiuer agreed without saying a word, he believed in Hu Yanzhuo's strength very much.

Hu Yanzhuo's eight-edged steel whip in one hand was the most advanced part of the military generals in the entire Song Kingdom.

Hu Yanzhuo immediately ordered 2,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry, and walked towards the gate of Yuncheng.

"Chief, they look like they're coming!" The red-haired ghost Liu Tang said a little nervously.

"It's okay, I'm still hoping that they will attack now, now is the time when their soldiers and horses are most tired." Zeng Hao replied calmly.

After speaking, he asked Zhiduoxing Wu Yong beside him: "Strategist, who do you think is more appropriate to send to lead the troops to the battle?" ”

Before Wu Yong could speak, Song Jiang directly asked Zeng Hao for his life: "Song Mou is brave and asks to lead troops to fight!" Although Song is not good at fists and feet, he has read many military books since he was a child, and he is confident that he can relieve the worries of the leader. ”

Zeng Hao shook his head and refused: "On paper, I finally feel shallow, and I never know that I have to do it." It's not like you've read a few military books and you'll be able to lead a good soldier. ”

He was very reluctant to let Song Jiang lead the troops in his heart, because in the Water Margin, Song Jiang led the troops to fight, and many times he was a professional pit teammate.

If it weren't for the heroes of Liangshan who were very powerful, with his command level, how many soldiers and horses would have made him unsuccessful.

However, what made Zeng Hao feel depressed was that there were many heroes at the scene who agreed to Song Jiang's request, and even Wu Yong nodded with a smile and said that it was no problem.

Seeing that there were so many people supporting him, Song Jiang continued to ask for his life unrelentingly: "The leader's words are also reasonable, but the experience is gained through actual battles, leader, you have to give me a chance to prove myself, right?" And among the many brothers present, which one of them often led troops to fight and accumulated rich experience? Since it's the first time for everyone, why didn't you give me a chance, Chief? ”

Zeng Hao was told by Song Jiang that he really had no choice, so he had to agree hard.

At this time, the soldiers and horses led by Hu Yanzhuo had already arrived in front of the gate of Yuncheng.

Hu Yanzhuo pointed to Zeng Hao and the others who were standing on the city wall, although he was now an old man who was almost sixty years old, he was still majestic, and his shouting was full of anger:

"Wait for the Liangshan bandits, listen, if you lay down your arms now, open the city gate and surrender, the imperial court may give you a chance to mend your ways. But Ruoer and the others are still obsessed, and there is only one way to die in the end! ”

Regarding Hu Yanzhuo's words, Zeng Hao also replied with four words full of anger: "Vote, you, old, mother." ”

Hu Yanzhuo was suddenly so angry that his face turned red, and he held an eight-edged steel whip in his right hand and pointed at Zeng Hao and said angrily: "Yellow-haired child, dare to come out and fight to the death with the old man?!" ”

Zeng Hao replied calmly: "Don't dare." ”

Joke, go and fight Hu Yanzhuo alone? Isn't that a lantern in a thatched pit and looking for!

Hu Yanzhuo didn't expect Zeng Hao's answer to be so unexpected, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

At this time, Song Jiang, who was eager for meritorious service, once again asked Zeng Hao to lead his troops into battle.

Zeng Hao gave him the right to choose people freely.

Song Jiang immediately ordered the four strongest heroes in Liangshan - Leopard Head Lin Chong, Xiao Li Guanghuarong, Black Whirlwind Li Kui, and the eager flower monk Lu Zhishen, and also ordered 2,000 people.

Calling the minions to open the city gate, Song Jiang rode a snow-white horse with snow-white hair all over his body and walked in front, followed by Lin Chong and the four of them, each riding a horse, and then behind were two thousand heavily armed Liangshan minions.

Fortunately, the open space in front of the city gate was flat and wide enough for both sides to put all their forces into a head-on fight.
