At night, Langzhou City, Wuping Festival Embassy Office.

The tall man sitting on the handsome case is Liu Yan, who is the queen of Quan Wuping. After many years of fighting on the battlefield, Liu Yan's face has already been vicissitudes, and at this time, he was writing a stamp, and the generals were divided into two rows and stood under the hall, silent. At the seemingly serious moment, there were two graceful beauties beside Liu Yan, leaning on the left and right with a smile on their faces, half-exposed shoulders and wearing a good spring. This fragrant and glamorous, some generals couldn't resist it after all, so they had to sneak a glance at it, and they felt their blood gushing.

Everyone waited quietly for Liu Yanlong to fly on the seal, and after dropping the last drop of ink, a military general standing at the front of the right column finally couldn't hold back and stood up, hugged his fists and said: "Jie Shuai, before sunset, the Tang army suddenly retreated ten miles, and the last general thought that there must be fraud, and please don't underestimate the enemy!" ”

"Oh?" Liu Yan slowly raised his head and said expressionlessly: "What's the deception here? The Tang army has been attacking the city for seven days in a row, but my Langzhou is impregnable, presumably because the Tang army is sleepy and tired, and they retreated to rest! Zhou Xingfeng, you said that Ben Shuai underestimated the enemy, but Ben Shuai stayed awake day and night to abide by his duties! ”

After that, Liu Yan smiled playfully, hugged the beauty beside him tightly, and rubbed his rough big hands brutally, which made the second daughter coquettish and disgusted, and the generals hurriedly lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly.

As a famous wise general under Liu Yan's account, Zhou Xingfeng has always been scheming, and there is no shortage of anti-ear advice, at this time, he was anxious, gritted his teeth and continued to persuade: "Jie Shuai, the Tang army is eager to break the city, even if there are dead and wounded, it has not stopped for seven consecutive days, why do you retreat and rest today?" The art of war, all those who fight, with the right fit, with the odd victory. Such an abnormal move, I am afraid that the Tang Army will move at night! Please order the marshal to re-arm the defense, and step up the patrol at night, don't be greedy for a moment of pleasure, so as to suffer a great disaster! ”

Since the Tang army besieged the city, the offensive has become increasingly fierce, Liu Yan, as the chief general of Langzhou, seems calm on the surface, and after seven days of fierce battles, how can he not be worried in his heart? Previously, Tang Jun's arrows and arrows kept flying day and night, which made him tremble when he slept, but at this time, for him, he wished that the Tang army would retreat as soon as possible, even if it was enough for one day to breathe.

The so-called gun shot the first bird, Zhou Xingfeng's words were not only harsh, but also seemed to take away Liu Yan's comfort for a moment, and a nameless fire then came up: "Zhou Xingfeng, this commander respects you for your merits, and he is patient with you in every way on weekdays, but why do you repeatedly speak disrespectfully and mess with our army's heart?" The soldiers of Langzhou used their lives, and the Tang army could not advance an inch, but it was you, why were you so afraid of the Tang army? ”

Seeing Liu Yan's face flushed, all the generals in the hall stood solemnly and remained silent, but Zhou Xingfeng still persuaded hard: "Jie Shuai, how can the last general be afraid of the enemy?" This time, the Tang Kingdom attacked me, but it was a full 100,000 army! The grain and straw are even more abundant. And now the waterway in the north of Langzhou has been cut off, and it has been surrounded on three sides, and it is already a lonely city! And the Dongxi reinforcements have not come for a long time, it will be difficult to hold on like this for a long time! The Tang army suddenly withdrew from the siege, and the officers and men of our army were tired for many days, and they would be unprepared at night, and they were afraid of variables! Advice is against the ear, please think twice! ”

As soon as the words fell, unexpectedly, Zhou Xingfeng and Wang Kui, Pan Shusi and Zhang Wenbiao beside him, seemed to have discussed, looked at each other, and then stood up and said in unison: "Loyal to the ear, please think twice!" Advice is against the ear, please think twice! ”

The generals continued to sound in unison, and instantly resounded in the hall, which undoubtedly added fuel to the fire!

Seeing this, Liu Yan was furious, pointed at the hall and scolded: "Are you going to rebel?" Zhou Xingfeng is a hateful kid, how can even you lose an inch? Get out of here! I don't know what to do, if you dare to say more, this handsome will not be spared! Get lost! The two beauties beside him hurriedly stretched out their jade hands and gently stroked Liu Yan's undulating chest, as if these generals had disturbed their good days, and their foxy eyes glanced down at the hall with resentment from time to time.

After a farce to no avail, the generals walked out of the government office one after another. Everyone's face seems calm, but inside they hide their own thoughts.

After returning to the camp, Wang Kui, the eldest brother of the "Ten Brothers" under Liu Yan's tent, patted Zhou Xingfeng on the shoulder and whispered: "Second brother, have you seen it?" I told you a long time ago that Liu Yan is a shallow talent, greedy for money and lustful, and he is definitely not a master! You are foolish! Why waste your tongue in vain and provoke him to be jealous?! (Note: "Ten Brothers" refers to the subordinates of King Ma Xicao in Langzhou, Wang Kui, Zhou Xingfeng and Ya generals He Jingzhen, Zhang Fang, Pu Gongyi, Zhu Quanxiu, Yu Wenqiong, Peng Wanhe, Pan Shusi, and Zhang Wenbiao.) After departing from Ma Xicao, the "Ten Brothers" supported Liu Yan to sit in Langzhou under the auspices of Wang Kui and Zhou Xingfeng. ）

Seeing that Zhou Xingfeng sighed silently, Zhang Wenbiao said indignantly: "At present, the great enemy does not think about the strategy of breaking the enemy, but indulges in beauty and condemns the loyal ministers!" This kind of mediocrity is even inferior to Ma Xicao! Big brother and second brother, it's better to do the opposite! Today, he Liu Yan has already had a murderous intent, and I would rather die on the battlefield than be the little ghost who died in battle! Anyway, sooner or later, Langzhou will not be able to hold it, it is better to capture Liu Yan and dedicate Langzhou to the Tang Army, and my ten brothers will be a great achievement! The emperor of the Tang Kingdom must be rewarded! ”

Wang Kui sneered: "Old ten, do you think that if you sacrifice the city, you will have a good end?" Our brothers turned their backs on the king of Chu in the past, leaving infamy first, and now that Ma Xicao has descended to the Tang Dynasty, how can the emperor of the Tang State leave us behind? ”

"Big brother is right." Uncle Pan, who has always been obedient to Wang Kui's words, raised his head and said in a deep voice: "The story of the three family slaves surnamed Lu Fengxian in the late Han Dynasty, how can heroes like us repeat the mistakes of the past and be ridiculed by the world?" Even if you want to rebel, you can't serve others anymore! ”

Immediately afterwards, the generals in the tent seemed to be instigated, and the scene boiled for a while, only Zhou Xingfeng did not say a word.

After a long time, Zhou Xingfeng looked at Wang Kui with a smug look, and suddenly said, "Does the eldest brother want to be self-reliant?" ”

When the generals heard this, some people shouted: "Second brother, the eldest brother is our brother's own eldest brother!" Except for him to be the master of this Langzhou, who is still qualified? Besides, the soldiers and horses in Langzhou, our brothers and other brothers are temperate seven or eight times out of ten, and this matter is promising! ”

Seeing Zhou Xingfeng's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Wang Kui's face was cloudy, and then he pretended to excuse himself and said, "Eh! Brothers, don't talk nonsense! My Wang Kui has never had great ambitions, I just want to enjoy a few more days of wealth and wealth with you! Even if I want to be self-reliant, it will not be my turn to call the shots! I'll look at the second child! ”

Zhou Xingfeng was shocked, turned his head and looked around, and found that everyone's anxious eyes were on him, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Big brother said he was laughing!" Can the little brother have such delusions? It's just big brother, now is not a good time to stand on your own. The Tang army besieged the city, Langzhou is difficult to hold for a long time, if the city is broken, how should it deal with itself? ”

Wang Kui seemed to be very satisfied with Zhou Xingfeng's answer, and smiled kindly: "Second child don't worry! Do you know where the seal written by Liu Yan tonight was sent? ”

"Please show it to the eldest brother!"

"Taking advantage of the retreat of the Tang army today, Liu Yan wants to send a fast horse to Kaifeng!"

Zhou Xingfeng pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that far water can't save the near fire, and the recent Yanzhou mutiny, Guo Wei is too busy to take care of himself, how can he send troops to help?" ”

Wang Kui smiled faintly: "Guo Wei naturally has no time to come to help, then Liu Yan has become a frightened bird, and this move is just to leave a way out for himself." ”

suddenly changed his face, and said coldly: "I want to capture Liu Yan, and then order someone to send him to the Tang Army camp along with the seal!" Second, this time the Tang army attacked Langzhou, but under the banner of crusading against Liu Yan and refusing to return to the court, secretly communicating with the Zhou State! Why don't we go with the flow? But only the people, not the city. ”

Zhou Xingfeng was puzzled: "How can the Tang army stop without offering the city?" ”

Wang Kui frowned, and said with a mysterious expression: "The surplus grain in the city is enough to supply for several months, even if the Tang army continues to attack the city, we will hold on!" When the Tang army withdrew from the siege before, the scouts came into the city to report that the soldiers and horses of the Tang State who went north to attack Xuzhou were wiped out in Shuyang! This matter must be shaken by the government and the opposition, I don't expect that in ten days, the Tang army will attack my Langzhou without making a decision! Therefore, we sent Liu Yan to give Tang Jun a face, didn't we? Anyway, there's a result, hahaha! ”

At this time, Zhou Xingfeng suddenly realized that Wang Kui and others were already ready to rebel against the Lord and stand on their own! But why is it that they are also sworn brothers, but they are always the last ones to know?

Zhou Xingfeng coldly witnessed the people in the tent, and he had already surrounded Wang Kui and began to discuss the strategy. Thinking of Liu Yan in the city and Tang Jun outside the city, I felt uneasy in my heart......
