"How does Sir know that Sun Tai will definitely run away tonight?" In the barracks, Yang Kan asked Webb suspiciously.

Not long ago, Weber conveyed a series of orders through Xiao Ju, and between the lines, it was revealed that Sun Tai would flee tonight.

"The minds of the people of Huiji County have changed now, and the soldiers of Linhai County cannot arrive, and the trapped lonely city will be finished sooner or later. Tonight is the best time for Sun Tai to break through. Webb closed his eyes and drank his tea leisurely.

Yang Kan suddenly had an illusion, and what was sitting in front of him was not an ordinary butler who only followed two generations of Dingnanhou, as if he was facing a marshal who had commanded thousands of troops and horses.

"General Yang, Sun Tai will break through from the northwest, the general needs to set up an ambush along the road, and be sure to drive Sun Tai to the direction of Qinglindu." Weber opened his eyes at this time and stared at Yangkan: "The war should be resolved quickly, I have been analyzing everything in the past few days, and I always feel that something is wrong." End the war here as soon as possible, and then General Yang will quickly return to fatten. ”

In the winter of the twenty-first year of the opening of the Great Qi Dynasty, Princess Zhaoyang of Northern Qin and Xiao Luan, King of Chu of Southern Qi, got married in Jiankang.

All the officials congratulated, and the southern scholars led by Lu Ke were particularly enthusiastic.

Lu Caozhi returned to the mansion proudly, and as soon as he entered the mansion, a henchman suddenly came up and said, "My lord, someone is from the north." ”

Lu Ke suddenly became alert, then looked around cautiously and asked, "Where are the people?" ”

"In your study."

Lu Ke then walked quickly to the study, pushed open the door but saw that there was a person sitting in the room, and quickly closed the door. "Who sent you?"

"Lu Xiang, my Lord Zhao specially asked me to come to visit Lu Xiang. And give some gifts to the land minister. ”

Then I saw the man pointing to the box on the ground with his finger, and Lu Ke opened it to see that it was full of gold and silver treasures, which were worth a lot of money.

Seeing Lu Cao's greedy gaze, the person who came couldn't help but show disdain, and then said: "When will the matter of Hefei be feasible?" It has been two days since he came down to Jiankang, and he has already heard that the rebels in the south are about to be exterminated, and Yangkan will soon lead his troops to fatten. ”

Lu Ke said: "In the past two days, but your Lord Zhao has promised me that if he needs your country's help in the future, your country cannot shirk it." ”

"That's natural, in order to show our sincerity, we haven't already sent Princess Zhaoyang first."

After sending the person away, Lu Cao then found his confidant and said, "Follow that person closely and see where he stays." Make sure he leaves Jiankang City safely. ”

Then Lu Ke pondered for a long time in the study and muttered, "Seek skin with the tiger." Then he took out a piece of paper, wrote a few words slightly, and then called: "Come on, send it to Hefei, and hand it over to General Li of the Danyang Army." ”

Jiankang was drunk in the south of the Yangtze River, Miaoxiang was looking uneasy in the guest room, and suddenly the door was opened, and it was the person who appeared in Lu Cao's mansion before.

The man said to Miaoxiang: "Gongzi Wei is still fighting in the south, it is inconvenient for me to stay here for a long time, I want to return to the north immediately to return to Lord Zhao, Miss Miaoxiang will stay here and wait for Gongzi Wei to return to Jiankang." ”

Miao Xiang suddenly asked: "Lord Zhao was ordered to give me to Lu Cao, aren't you afraid of being blamed for being so disobedient?" ”

"The girl is too worried, and the people who are with her have no way to report to the court anymore." The man smiled slightly, and then walked briskly out of the room.

When night fell, the soldiers of Huiji City lazily guarded the city tower, looking at the imperial army under the city, and couldn't help whispering.

Several scholars in Huiji City gathered their families and private soldiers together.

"Old Xie, are you sure you want to do it?" Inside, there were a few gorgeously dressed people discussing.

"Those who were beheaded in the afternoon were all Linhai County soldiers, there were no reinforcements, we waited for the help to abuse, if we resisted stubbornly, it would be a real disaster."

"Also, now that the imperial court is prosperous, the soldiers have no fighting spirit. Sun Tai thought that he could be of some use, but he didn't want to be so vulnerable, and he was run over and beaten by a fifteen-year-old doll. ”

At this moment, a family member suddenly rushed in.

The old man surnamed Xie glanced at it and scolded: "What are you doing in such a hurry, don't leak the news." ”

"No, sir, Sun Tai opened the west gate and ran away with his team of cronies." The servant hurriedly informed.

Everyone in the room was taken aback and looked at each other: "What is good now?" ”

Suddenly, someone came to report: "The shouting and killing outside the city shook the sky, and a large group of people chased in the direction of Sun Tai." Outside the city, the imperial army is already closing in on us. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and then the old man surnamed Xie said: "Then there is still resistance, open the city gate, and I will go out of the city and surrender, or we can save my life." ”

Then everyone opened the gate of Huiji City and surrendered to the imperial court.

Yangkan led the army into the city, and so far the whole county will be recovered.

"Come on, put all the city sergeants, young and old, in prison, and wait for the prince to come back to discuss how to deal with it." Yang Kan said coldly.

And Sun Tai was like a frightened bird at this time, and as soon as he escaped from the city, he was chased and killed by the imperial army.

When he reached the main road, he found that there were already troops waiting here, so he had no choice but to lead his men and horses in the direction of Qinglindu.

But on the way to Qinglindu, the more Sun Tai thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he stopped his horse and said to Zhang Gui: "How do I feel that they deliberately drove us to this road?" ”

Zhang Gui was also soaked in blood at this time, and he was injured in many places. looked at his relatives and said, "The king doesn't have to care so much, there is no turning back at this moment, and there are chasing soldiers behind him." ”

At this moment, an ambush suddenly appeared on both sides, and Sun Tai had no choice but to continue to advance on horseback. Zhang Gui led the rest of the troops to resist desperately.

Sun Tai rushed all the way to kill, and finally arrived at Qinglindu at dawn. At this time, Sun Tai was only left with Zhang Gui and dozens of cronies, and everyone was injured.

Sun Tai hurriedly asked people to find a boat to prepare to enter the river, but found that he could not find even a boat.

Sun Tai was helpless, and the rest of the people hugged and cried by the river.

When Sun Tai saw the appearance of everyone, he also wailed in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "I really didn't expect that the incident would reach such a point in just over a month." ”

At this moment, Sun Tai saw someone slowly walking out of the woods behind him, and saw that the person who came was young, with an extraordinary appearance, dressed in silver armor, holding a spear, and hanging a sharp sword from his waist. Sun Tai understood: "Presumably, the prince of Guangling County has been waiting for Sun for a long time. ”

Wei Ran slowly walked towards Sun Tai, and saw the old man in front of him who was wearing a Heavenly Master's robe, and said, "That's right, my father has been waiting here for a long time. I thought you wouldn't be able to hold out to Qinglindu. ”

Zhang Gui raised his knife at this time to protect Sun Tai behind him: "Hugh wants to hurt the king of my family." ”

"I heard that General Zhang is very brave, and he is also a 10,000-strong enemy when he fights, and he has some skills for a while." Wei Ran said with a smile.

When Zhang Gui heard this, he thought about it for a long time, and then said: "The county prince is willing to fight with me alone, if I win, the county prince will let me go." ”

Wei Ran's eyes stared at Zhang Gui deadly, and the expression on his face became extremely strange. Then Wei Ran laughed and said, "General Zhang, are you joking?" Now that I have the upper hand, why should I agree to this unreasonable request from you? Why should the county prince risk his life? ”

Wei Ran then said: "General Zhang, I think you are a fierce general, you kill yourself." This father left you with a whole corpse. ”

Then Wei Ran raised his left hand: "Archers prepare." ”

Sun Tai shouted loudly at this time: "Jun Gong is slow, don't you want to know who is behind me?" Spare me, and I will write to you. ”

"What letters? Whose Epistle? Wei Ran suddenly became interested.

"Prime Minister Lu Ke's letter to me asked me to send troops from the sea, and he sent people to secretly support me and let me set off storms in the south." Sun Tai said anxiously at this time in order to save his life.

"Why did you have a correspondence with Lu Ke?"

"We are the eagle dogs raised by Lu Ke, and we say that the pirates are actually the private soldiers of the Southern Scholars. Without us, how could the nobles have an excuse to raise private soldiers, and what reason would the counties controlled by the local nobles have to withhold taxes? ”

"No wonder those big clans in the city were almost unharmed, then why did you kill Xie Bing again?" Wei Ran suddenly wondered. Then he slowly approached Sun Tai: "Xie Bingnai is the county guard of Huiji." ”

"Xie Junshou is not one of us, but he was coerced by the elders of the family. None of the decrees can be sent out of the city. When I occupied Huiji, Xie Bing was already controlled by the Xie clan, and later Xie Bing planned to escape from the city to report the news, and he had no choice but to kill him. "Sun Tai's matter has been dragged out so far.

"Then why is there a rumor that Xie Bing does not defend the city, saying that the ghost soldiers are invited. Let him be laughed at and generous. Wei Ran asked.

"Xie Bing is indeed a believer in the Heavenly Master Dao Five Doumi Sect, and the Xie family fabricated this rumor to slander Xie Bing in order to maintain their influence in Huiji County."

"Where is your correspondence with Lu Ke now?"

"The letter is on me, and I am willing to sacrifice him to the county prince, and I only ask the county prince to let me go."

At this time, Zhang Gui's face was already as dead as ashes: "King, we are oppressed by the Shi clan and live a precarious life, you said that you want to overthrow the southern Shi clan, let me wait for the people to really live a good life, and I will wait for you to do something." And now thou hast said thou art the eagle dog of the nobles. ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Gui looked up to the sky and smiled, then raised it and slashed it at his neck. Wei Ran had a premonition, and then threw out the spear in his hand, and a shot shook Zhang Gui's steel knife in the air.

Zhang Guileng was in place, and Wei Ran arched his hand and said: "I respect General Zhang as a man, you can go." ”

"The world is so big, where do we make our rebellion our home." Zhang Gui said desolately.

"The prince has long intended to weaken the scholars, but now the time has not come, if General Zhang does not dislike it, he can join my prince's guard. In the future, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ascend the throne and return the land of Sanwu to a bright and prosperous world. Wei Ran looked at Zhang Gui and said with a smile.

Zhang Gui thought about it again and again, ordered his cronies to put down their weapons, and then left Sun Tai and walked towards Wei Ran.

Chen Dayan beware of deception, and hurriedly led people around Wei Ran.

Wei Ran waved his hand slightly and said, "Treat people with integrity. ”

Zhang Gui was convinced, knelt in front of Wei Ran and said: "If the county prince doesn't dislike it, Zhang Gui is willing to be a pawn in the county government's account." ”

Wei Ran hurriedly helped Zhang Gui up, and then Wei Ran walked to Sun Tai, who was standing alone by the river: "Hand over the letter." ”

"The county lord must let me go on the boat first, and I will write to you." Empress Sun Taicang retreated, and then said tremblingly.

Suddenly, the sword light flashed, and Sun Tai's head fell to the ground. Wei Ran kept groping around Sun Tai, and finally found a letter, Wei Ran smiled and said, "Confused, the letter to kill you is also mine." ”
