That night.

Yue Fei led three hundred vanguard cavalry to quietly appear under Hengshui City while the stars and moon.

All were dressed in Jurchen military uniforms.

The two people who walked with Yue Fei rode the horse, and on the left was Wang Gui.

The person on the right was Xiao Gwen, who was captured by Yue Fei.

The defenders arranged by Meng Chao at the gate of the city saw the cavalry coming.

He looked flustered.

But when they were about to assume a defensive posture, Xiao Gwen below shouted: "Don't panic, it's me!" Centifer Shaw Gwen under the command of Sosuke Marshal Chief. ”

Hearing this, the guards on the upper floor of Hengshui City looked down.

At the same time, Wang Gui lit the torch and shone on Xiao Gwen's face.

Under the firelight, the guards on the castle tower no longer doubted and sank the drawbridge outside the city gate.

The heavy gates of the city slowly opened.

For it was on the same morning that they respectfully watched Shaw Gwin and his three hundred cavalry out of the city.

Xiao Gwen said to the captain of the city gate: "Meng Chao? Let him come to me! ”

The captain of the city gate is Meng Chao's nephew, named Meng Chen.

He knew that his side was about to take refuge in Jinren.

Therefore, he was extremely flattering to Shaw Gwin.

He stepped forward and said, "Commander Xiao, you have turned back this time, are you looking for my stepfather to negotiate your actions?" Have you finalized the time for our action with Sosuke Marshal on his side? ”

Xiao Gwen glanced at the person in front of him and thought: You have too much to say.

Immediately, he said to Meng Chen in an extremely stiff Central Plains language: "Can you inquire about this matter?" What about Meng Chao? Let him out! ”

As Xiao Gwen spoke, he sat down on the chair in the city tower steadily, trying to make his demeanor as calm as possible.

But at the moment, only he knows the situation.

Of the three hundred people he brought this time, there were no gold people except him.

On the left and right sides are followed by Wang Gui and Niu Gao, two brave butchers.

Even the people who followed and guarded the gate of the city tower were Song soldiers dressed in golden human skins.

According to the previous agreement between him and Yue Fei, as long as he instigated Song Jun to complete the task, he could return to his hometown.

Otherwise, once exposed, he will inevitably be killed by a random knife.

Meng Chen didn't know the reason for this, but he looked a little lonely and said: "Commander Xiao, this is not a coincidence, my father-in-law has already taken his soldiers to Fucheng. ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Gui was immediately surprised and said anxiously: "What did you do in Fucheng?" When did you depart? ”

Meng Chen glanced at Wang Gui with a displeased expression.

I thought: What kind of character are you? Speak to me directly?

Immediately, he looked at Xiao Gwen again, and said in a calm tone: "My father-in-law set off three hours ago. ”

Hearing this, Wang Gui gestured to the cow beside him.

Niu Gao immediately understood what Wang Gui meant.

Pretended to whisper in Shaw's ear.

Xiao Gwen bowed slightly, pretending to be calm: "Well, you go to spy on the intelligence of the Song army." ”

Niu Gao bowed and withdrew.

At the same time, he took away several of his followers.

Even so, Meng Chen still said suspiciously: "Commander Xiao, could it be that there are soldiers and horses of the imperial court around here?" ”

"Just as a precaution, our job is to spy on the military."

Meng Chen nodded: "Yes." ”

Then he looked at the scar on Xiao Gwen's neck in surprise, and then looked meaningfully at Xiao Gwen's obviously puffy cheeks, and asked, "Commander Xiao, have you been attacked before?" ”

"Is that what you should ask? The commander just encountered a cavalry of the Song army and fought for a while. ”

"Oh."

"Do you need gold sore medicine? I'll get it for you down. ”

"No need, this little injury has not been taken to heart by the Commander."

Shaw Gwen responded in a pretended to be forceful, and at the same time showed a cold and serious face.

At this time, my heart was already trembling with nervousness.

At this time, what's the point of asking?

As if you could help me out of danger?

On the contrary, it didn't arouse Wang Gui's suspicions, so wouldn't he be in a different place?

Meng Chen looked at Xiao Gwen's face, and stopped digging deeper.

After all, he is still more or less a Song person.

Following his father-in-law Meng Chao to rebel against Song and reduce gold was a desperate choice.

But after all, he couldn't accept the Jin people's recklessness and rudeness.

At this moment, I felt that Xiao Gwen was somewhat trying to summon them.

But now that Meng Chao is not here, he can only receive this uncle.

After all, he switched to the Jin Army's account one day, and Xiao Gwen was still the recommender of their Meng father and son.

"Commander Xiao, it's cold here now, and my stepfather is not here, if I don't give up, I will prepare delicious food for you in the mansion, high-grade aging, and wash the dust for you."

"Uh, this ......" Xiao Gwen just wanted to nod, but he was busy glancing at Wang Gui and asking the other party for instructions.

Wang Gui immediately said: "Commander, the athletes under your command are indeed a little hungry and cold. ”

Xiao Gwen nodded knowingly, put on a kind posture of being extremely sympathetic to his subordinates, and said with a smile: "Okay, then it will be arranged by Lao Menggongzi!" ”

A moment later, Xiao Gwen led the ordinary old men into Meng Chao's mansion.

Meng Chen clapped his hands, and the housekeeper in the mansion immediately found more than a dozen dancers who were dressed a little revealingly.

Singing and dancing, staggered.

At this time, Niu Gao had already taken several of his henchmen out of the city gate, galloped all the way, and returned to Yue Fei's camp five miles away from the city.

"General."

"How's it going?"

"It's clear that Meng Chao is not in the city now, he has already led his troops to attack Fucheng four hours ago."

"Four hours." Yue Fei pondered for a while, and immediately said to Zhang Xian in the account: "Zhang Xian." ”

"In!"

"How long will it take for your cavalry to reach Fucheng?"

"General, Fucheng is one hundred and seventy miles away, if Meng Chao leads the troops to go, it will take two days, and if the elite of the headquarters is non-stop, it will be possible to arrive in less than a day."

"Okay, you immediately take someone to Fuxian County, inform the guards of Meng Chao's treacherous plan, and assist them in countering Meng Chao!"

"Humble duty!"

Zhang Xian bowed and saluted, walked out of the camp tent in a hurry, quickly ordered a hundred horsemen, and drove out of the barracks with a whip and went straight to Fucheng.

The Fucheng that Yue Fei fought down before belonged to the defense area of Hexi Military Town.

The Hexi Military Town is the eastern front and is the military town for which Li Gang is responsible.

Wanyan Zongfu of the Jin people wanted to attack Cangzhou, where Li Gang was seated.

But Liu Chengru has a heart disease in his heart, which is Fucheng.

So he ordered Meng Chao to attack Fucheng in advance.

Now that Yue Fei has obtained this military invitation, the first task is naturally to set up defenses in Fucheng in advance before Meng Chao.

In case of Meng Chao's sneak attack.

At the same time, Yue Fei also knew that Meng Chao was not in Heng County.

immediately ordered the thousands of men and horses under his command to quickly go to meet Wang Gui.

Yue Fei personally supervised the army, and the speed of the advance was extremely fast.
