Zhang Yiping is probably indeed dead.

According to Chen Rui, who was in Liutun in Xiping County, Zhang Yiping was assassinated by Zhang Dingguo, who came to vote before.

Zhang Yiping is a person, he has the ability, but he is really a little unclear.

This was the case when it was in Jiaozhou, and it was still the case when it was in Runan.

Zhang Dingguo was born in a wealthy family in Runan, and when Zhang Yiping got into trouble, he brought 2,000 people to vote, and he was regarded as the veteran of the Guiyi Army, and won Zhang Yiping's trust.

But Zhang Dingguo's will to resist Donghu was not so firm.

It can be said that he is a speculator.

Once the incident arises, whether it is in Donghu or Dahan, his status will improve a lot.

And the truth is just as Zhang Dingguo thought.

For a while, the Donghu people couldn't take the Guiyi army led by Zhang Yiping, so they decided to adopt the Huairou policy at the same time.

Use all kinds of high-ranking officials to buy the leaders of the Guiyi army.

Zhang Dingguo, as one of the leaders, should be on the list of buyers.

Then he was moved by the high officials.

The Han army was indeed overwhelming, but the army was still in Jingzhou, and Jingbei was not captured.

The Guiyi Army is deep in the hinterland of Runan, and seeing that there are no reinforcements, there is no way to continue.

So why not just throw yourself at the Donghu people?

Although Chong Xuan went south to ask the Han army for support, but the current situation is not clear, how can the Han army stop attacking Jingzhou, take another route, and send a large army to support the Guiyi army?

The Han army is certainly strong, and the imperial court is certainly in full swing.

But it's too far away, far worse than the Donghu that you can see and touch.

As a result, Zhang Dingguo accepted the recruitment of the Donghu people, and on the grounds that he had a major matter to discuss with Zhang Yiping alone, he met with Zhang Yiping in private, secretly ambushed, and poisoned.

Then with Zhang Yiping's head, he launched a rebellion in Xiping County, and with nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, he surrendered to the Donghu people.

Chen Rui's broken arm, the current Xiao Se in Xiping County, is because of that rebellion.

The group of heroes was leaderless, coupled with the rebellion of a large number of backbones, and the last remaining part of the righteous soldiers and soldiers no longer had any fighting spirit in their hearts.

If it weren't for Chen Rui's confidence in Chongxuan, who went south, and also in the Han court, he barely held up the situation, and estimated that the Guiyi army would have dispersed now.

But even so, in order to fight against Donghu, the Guiyi Army, which fought to revolt, was left with little left under the turmoil.

And the traitor Zhang Dingguo, relying on the blood of his comrades-in-arms, became the guest of the Donghu people.

"Zhang Dingguo"

Liu Ke listened to Chen Rui's cry to Chong Xuan, and suddenly took out a list.

It is the reward that Chong Xuan proposed before.

"Zhang Dingguo, General Yangwu."

"General Yangwu.?"

Chen Rui was still stunned and didn't understand what the situation was.

Chong Xuan was already gritting his teeth, eager to ride alone, rush into the Donghu army, and dismantle that Zhang Dingguo.

Although the emperor's rewards for many generals of the Guiyi Army were generous, they had not yet reached the point where they were all officials whether they were human beings or ghosts.

General Yangwu is just a miscellaneous general, but he is also a general.

There are a lot of Yulu and trilogy.

The current big man is not the big man who lacked soldiers and major generals before.

For example, Yue Shaoqian's promotion of Shalibei in Jingnan was because he brought his own troops and was still the leader of the Wuxi barbarians, so he could be a general as soon as he entered the court.

Another respects Daorong, even if he claims to be the general of Lingling, his martial arts are quite good, and it is because of his subsequent military exploits in Jiangxia County that he has caught a miscellaneous general.

Therefore, no matter how much the emperor and the imperial court attach importance to the Guiyi Army, they will not give too many rewards for the position of general.

It took a lot of effort and a long time to determine the list of rewards.

Including Zhang Yiping's Guihan general, the miscellaneous generals who can be counted are actually three of them.

Not even Chongxuan himself.

But Zhang Dingguo can occupy a seat in it.

It is enough to see Zhang Dingguo's prestige and status in the Guiyi Army, as well as the trust of the brothers.

"This is"

Chen Rui only reacted at this time, this handsome young man who had been by Chong Xuan's side should be an official of the imperial court.

This time, most of them came with Chong Xuan, on behalf of the imperial court, to reward the Guiyi Army.

It's just that it makes him feel guilty even more.

The Guiyi Army is already like this, where can it deserve any reward?

"This is the lord of the imperial court, Brother Chen, you first arrange a place for us to rest, and I am also a little tired all the way."

"As for the rest, I'll make plans after tomorrow."

Chong Xuan deliberately concealed Liu Ke's identity.

If before, when the Guiyi army was strong, he and some high-level generals informed the emperor that he had come to Runan in person, it would have been inspiring.

But now the situation of the Guiyi Army has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and its destruction is almost imminent.

But you can't reveal your identity at will.

And it has to be deliberately hidden, otherwise the Donghu people will know about it, and they will definitely send a large army to surround it.

Even the identity of the court officials is not very secure.

If there is a second Zhang Dingguo in the rebel army, who is bought by the Donghu people, and plans to take a court official as a vote, it will be unexpected.

After coming to the resting place, Chong Xuan immediately persuaded:

"Please also ask Your Majesty to return to Jiangling as soon as possible, the Guiyi Army is afraid that it will be difficult to succeed again."

Chong Xuan is very distressed, he has rebelled for many years, and now he has fallen short.

But I still analyzed the situation very rationally.

It is not realistic to support it in Runan.

The emperor's use of soldiers is unpredictable, and his bravery is the best in the world.

But it is also impossible to take a bunch of untrained rebels who have no morale and have not yet been trained to defeat the Donghu people.

And once it is discovered by the Donghu people and sends a large army to encircle and suppress it, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to escape.

The most important thing at the moment is to escort the emperor back safe and sound.

Even in Chong Xuan's heart, there was a trace of happiness.

Before, he strongly persuaded the emperor to send troops to the north to support the rebels.

If at that time, the emperor and the military Chinese Wu agreed to send troops, now they are only afraid of big things.

Being an emperor is different, and his vision is much longer than his personal vision.

Liu Ke didn't respond, but just asked:

"Aren't you going to leave?"

Chong Xuan slowly closed his eyes, just like Zhang Yiping.

When Zhang Yiping is thinking, he also likes to close his eyes like this.

"The minister will take the Guiyi army south."

"No matter how many of them are in the rebel army, I will take them south."

"Oh."

Liu Ke showed a meaningful smile and continued to ask:

"What about Zhang Dingguo?"

Chong Xuan opened his eyes and said without hesitation:

"The blood of the brothers, the blood of the dead righteous, must be paid with the blood of the traitor."

His eyes were as firm as iron, and his lips were pursed.

He is not only to return blood for blood, but also to avenge the dead brothers, the dead brothers.

I also have to give an explanation to the imperial court.

The emperor personally went deep into the hinterland of Donghu with a single donkey, and did not disappoint any righteous man.

But they disappointed the emperor and lived up to this hospitality.

Zhang Yiping is dead, and there are not many people who have the right to speak in the Guiyi Army.

Chong Xuan is one of them, so he must come up with an explanation.

The emperor has always been lenient and may not let him do so.

But he had to do something.

Chong Xuan looked at the emperor in front of him.

This sage Son of Heaven originally entered the Donghu Formation alone and killed King Zuoxian.

Then he walked away.

So, inspired by this, Chong Xuan came up with a bold idea.

He wants to break into the Donghu camp with layers of protection and rob and kill Zhang Dingguo!

"Blood for blood?"

Liu Ke restrained his smile and looked directly at Chong Xuan, a little aggressive:

"Zhang Dingguo was treated as a guest by the Donghu people in front of Pu, and it is even likely that he has become a general, and there are a large number of Guiyi soldiers who are coerced away, and the number is only nearly 10,000."

"How do you want him to pay it back?"

Chong Xuan still did not waver, and said bluntly:

"The minister hears that there is nothing difficult in the world that cannot be done, and there are people who can do it."

The implication of this statement is that in this world, there is nothing that cannot be done or cannot be done.

There is always the kind of character who can do it and will definitely do it.

"That's a good point."

Liu Ke felt that what Chong Xuan was talking about was himself, he was hanging, obviously this kind of person who could do and would definitely succeed.

"Camp robbery?"

Chong Xuan nodded heavily, and told his plan in full:

"The minister is familiar with Zhang Dingguo, the seed clan is still in Runan, and the Donghu people have never removed the official position of the minister."

"The minister discussed with Zhang Dingguo under the pretext, Zhang Dingguo didn't know the minister's intention, and most of them would meet."

"When the time comes, the minister suddenly attacked, tied him up directly, and then used it as a threat to kill a way."

Liu Ke asked:

"You're alone?"

Chong Xuan shook his head:

"Among the rebels today, there are many people who are disheartened, but they can still pick out fifty brave people."

"Fifty?"

"Fifty is enough."

Chong Xuan was arrogant for a while, and said:

"Zhang Dingguo brought many brothers to defect to the Donghu people, and many of them received favors from their ministers."

"When the ministers tie up Zhang Dingguo, raise their arms and exclaim, they may not be able to attract tens of millions of people to help!"

"Good!"

Liu Ke praised it, he liked Chong Xuan's youthful spirit.

Young people have to be vigorous.

Moreover, this Guiyi army is very important to the Han Dynasty, and he does not want to disappear like this.

Something had to be done.

"Since Chongqing has a heart, then I will send people back to Jiangling to mobilize some people for Chongqing."

Chong Xuan was stunned, mobilizing manpower?

With the current situation in Runan County, the imperial court still dares to send most of the troops and horses over?

Then suddenly, it should be to mobilize some brave warriors.

For example, Dian Chu, Zhao Ning and others, if they can come to Runan, they will be able to achieve more success.

No matter how bad it is, hundreds of soldiers are more reliable than the righteous army.

Even if it doesn't work, you can escort the emperor back.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

A few days later, a military commander rushed to Xiping County in a four-wheeled vehicle.

"Father Chenlu, please meet Your Majesty!"

Lu Fengfu hurriedly visited the emperor, and when he saw the bleak scene in Xiping County, he shook his head secretly.

The emperor summoned him, he should have counted the battle damage, right?

Count how much food and population are left in the Guiyi Army, and then bring them back to Jiangling in one go.

After all, with the current situation, if you want to fight the Donghu people again and cause trouble behind enemy lines, it is really unreliable.

It's good not to drag down the court, I can't count on it at all.

Chong Xuan looked at Lu Feng's father dressed as a civil official, and he was riding a four-wheeled vehicle instead of riding a horse, although he was tall and powerful, he was burly, but he didn't think much about it.

He should be a literati.

It's just a pity, there is no Dian Chu and Zhao Ning, and it is okay to have a second-rate man!

However, it is not bad to have a civilian official to help him stabilize Xiping County and stabilize the morale of the army.

It can even be said that this is what the Guiyi Army needs most at present.

And when Chongxuan was in Gangneung, he had also heard of it.

The supervisors of the Han army were all trained by Chen Gong, who was holding a stone chip to cut the flesh of his thighs.

In terms of boosting morale, he has a lot of experience and his willpower is extraordinarily strong.

Perhaps relying on his unique speech skills, he can raise the morale of the Guiyi Army.

When the time comes, it will be more certain to break through the blockade of the Donghu people and let the remnants return all the way south, and it can be regarded as living up to Zhang Yiping's efforts during his lifetime.

"Master Lu, I summoned you here to ask for a plan."

Liu Ke looked at Lu Feng's father with a smile, with this pair of two or five treasures, it is difficult for Zhang Dingguo to live.

Lu Fengfu patted his chest with a confident face:

"Your Majesty just asks, the minister has read poetry and books since he was a child, and his talent is quick, and he will definitely be able to solve your Majesty's doubts."

Liu Ke's face changed, and in addition to grief, he also had a bit of resentment:

"In the Guiyi Army, there is a person named Zhang Dingguo, this Zhang Dingguo did not want to fight against the Donghu people, but was moved by the Donghu people's recruitment order."

Lu Fengfu was disdainful, and exhaled a hot breath from the tip of his nose:

"Half-hearted!"

Liu Ke said again:

"Zhang Dingguo not only secretly accepted the Zhao'an order, but also secretly murdered Zhang Yiping, the leader of the Guiyi Army."

Lu Feng's father frowned, already a little annoyed:

"This Zhang Dingguo is really damned!!"

Liu Ke sighed:

"Now, he has taken Zhang Yiping's body, wrapped in a large number of rebels, and defected to the Donghu people."

Only a click was heard, and Lu Feng's father clicked all over his body, his eyes flashed with anger, and his face became more and more gloomy.

His fists were clenched tightly, his knuckles were bulging, his teeth were clenched, and he did not hide the anger in his heart at all, and the whole person was already extremely angry:

"Lu has always hated such disloyal and unrighteous pigs and dogs!!"

The ground seemed to be a little dented by his trampling.

Even the people who were listening to it were a little stunned.

He is conceited and has a bit of bravery, but in front of this Lu Fengfu in front of him, he is like a kitten in the mouth of a tiger.

This is a man of letters???

Liu Ke remained silent and continued to ask:

"Zhang Dingguo is in the army, I'm afraid that he is eating, drinking and celebrating now, maybe he will make Zhang Yiping's head into a skull wine cup and treasure it."

"I want to avenge General Zhang and the tens of millions of righteous soldiers, but after thinking about it, there is still no good plan."

"I don't know if Master Lu is Bo, what is the best way to teach me?"

Lu Fengfu made a gesture of cutting off his head, and under the horizontal cut of the knife, he could hear gusts of wind:

"Lead the troops into the Donghu army, cut off the head of the Dingguo dog, and then kill it."

Clean, simple and straightforward, in his opinion, this is the simplest and most effective solution.

Liu Ke spread his hands:

"Chongqing thinks so too."

"He's got fifty horses ready, so let's go."

"Go?"

Chong Xuan was still in a fog for a while, and he was a little entangled in his heart.

Looking at this situation, the emperor wanted to take Lu Fengfu and kill him in the Donghu army with him and cut Zhang Dingguo down.

The emperor's bravery is famous all over the world, and he is also a saint and the Son of Heaven, and the mandate of heaven is in his body.

If he didn't keep it, he summoned the thunder, and directly chopped Zhang Dingguo to death eight hundred miles away.

Looking at Lu Fengfu's appearance, he seems to be quite brave.

Rushing into battle like this, it is naturally more certain.

But the emperor is the emperor after all, the emperor of the Han Dynasty above tens of thousands of people, such a noble body, it is somewhat too risky to risk his life with him.

Chong Xuan simply didn't want to.

Anyway, Zhang Dingguo must die.

——

"General Zhang is really a god!"

That night, in the Donghu camp, which was responsible for suppressing bandits and counterinsurgency.

A general in front of Pu, who smelled of mutton, pulled Zhang Dingguo's hand and looked excited.

No wonder he wasn't excited.

Pu Qianguang did not like to read since he was a child, and only loved Tian Hunting and martial arts, and later because of his meritorious service in governing the place, he was promoted by Pu Qianyong, the current Khan King of Pu Qian.

He is proficient in the art of war and brave in battle.

But Rao is like this, and he is still no match for Zhang Yiping.

After all, that is a fierce man who can survive from Liu Ke's hands.

Therefore, Pu Qianguang was very distressed by the Guiyi Army, who had always been helpless.

Fortunately, after Ohga Chucai visited his own Khan King before, the Khan King adopted his strategy and began to quell the rebellion while recruiting peace.

Zhao'an shook the hearts of the Guiyi Army, and made many soldiers of the Guiyi Army who were not so determined come to vote one after another.

And Zhang Dingguo is even more heavyweight.

not only accepted Zhao'an, but also directly killed the leader of the Guiyi Army, Zhang Yiping, who gave Pu Qianguang a headache, as a vote.

Zhang Yiping's body was on the side.

I can only look at the words and laugh at the banquet, and I can't look at it.

By Pu Qianguang's side, the Donghu generals who accompanied him didn't talk much.

But the consternation in his expression and the joy in his heart could not be concealed.

Thinking about it, no matter how they fought the Guiyi Army before, they couldn't hurt their muscles and bones.

That Zhang Yiping is really extraordinary, whether it is Wen Tao or Wu Luo, they can't find any fault.

With such a comprehensive general, it is too difficult to win easily, that is, Liu Pheasant can win in one battle.

So much so that the army of Pu Qianguang should eat and sleep every day, and then look for an opportunity to see if the situation can touch the Guiyi army to fight a dozen.

As a result, as soon as he woke up that day, he found that Zhang Dingguo not only rebelled against nearly 10,000 Guiyi soldiers, but also beat the Guiyi army to pieces.

is even more miraculous, killed Zhang Yiping, and brought his head to the army.

Is there a better situation than this?

Even if Pu Qianguang felt early on that the plan to recruit security was likely to attract some big fish, he felt that he could take advantage of it.

But even so, he didn't expect that the Zhang Dingguo in front of him would be able to do this!

Pu Qianguang directly ordered to reward the three armies, so that the soldiers could have a good meal, and it was extremely courteous, leading the army to join Zhang Dingguo, and directly treated him as a guest.

After all, after that, the Guiyi Army was equivalent to dispersing.

Even if I heard what Zhang Dingguo said, there was still a kind of Xuan who went south to seek support from the Han court, but if he wanted to come to the Han Dynasty, he would definitely not send support, so there was no need to worry about it.

You haven't taken Jingzhou down, the road is impassable, and you still want to support Runan?

I don't even dream of that!

During the banquet, Zhang Dingguo's cronies gave the Donghu generals a vivid description of how to destroy the Guiyi army.

Hearing this, a group of Donghu generals admired it again and again.

Awesome!

Erwuzai has done this to your point, which is really rare in the world!

Zhang Dingguo thinks it's nothing, at most the voices are unpleasant, but there must be status and power.

As long as you have status and power, what reputation are you worried about?

Even if the Han Dynasty is in full swing now, it doesn't matter.

When the Han army hits Runan and Puqian, when will it be?

In front of the Han army, there is the entire Jingbei, Xiangyang, which is a strong city in the world, Shizhou Haobu, and Qiyan Ministry.

This is where it goes!

Even if forty or fifty years later, the Han army really hit Runan, whether he Zhang Dingguo is still alive is a question.

Even if the Han army can fight in only twenty or thirty years, it is not a problem.

When the time comes, don't you just take refuge in the big man?

If you have chips in your hand, you will have the capital to jump sideways repeatedly.

Zhang Dingguo has no psychological burden at all for being a second or fifth boy.

And it was on the high ground behind the Donghu camp.

Liu Ke, Chong Xuan, and Lu Feng's father were spying on the camp.

Chong Xuan took the lead and said:

"Judging from the size of the camp, there are only 50,000 soldiers and horses in this army."

The surroundings are extremely quiet.

I never expected that there would be so many enemy troops.

According to most people's thoughts, Zhang Dingguo should only have about 10,000 people in his hands.

At most, there are some Donghu people who came to surrender.

As long as you kill Zhang Dingguo, and then raise your arms and shout, let those brothers who are against the water surrender again, or directly deter them, then they will naturally succeed in the battle.

But now there are still tens of thousands of Donghu soldiers in front of Pu, the Donghu army!

This is not something that can be solved with a single call.

Fifty horsemen rushed fifty thousand, throughout the ages, who would dare to do this?

The one-armed Chen Rui broke the silence in a low voice, and he looked very nervous between his words:

"Look, the camp should be celebrating."

"But if this is the case, there will be soldiers patrolling the camp."

"I'm afraid that as soon as we rush in, thousands of people will come and besiege us."

The crowd was silent for a moment.

"One thing to say, indeed."

Liu Ke couldn't help but sneer:

"If you want to take the head of the enemy general among the ten thousand armies, you still need to consider how many soldiers and horses the other party has?"

"It doesn't matter if he's tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, can you still expect them to not move, let us kill people and then run out?"

"It's nothing more than killing these people and making them mess up!"

This Chen Rui is a little bold, he only has one arm left, and he dares to rush into battle with them.

But there are only a few.

It's really about to be in battle, and looking at the number of enemy troops, I will still feel cowardly.

It's also human nature, Liu Ke said that he understood, and it would be good to be able to follow him.

What really works has to be his hanging, as well as Chong Xuan and Lu Feng's father.

"How sure are you?"

"Eighty percent, a capricious villain like Zhang Dingguo must die!!"

Lu Feng's father was on fire in his eyes.

He was really angry with Zhang Dingguo.

Wei Chengxian and Shi Zhouhao were not so excessive.

This Zhang Dingguo not only rebelled against the water, but also cut off his old boss as a vote before he turned against the water.

It's really tolerable, it's unbearable.

He deliberately took the best halberd from the Guiyi Army, even if he killed it, Zhang Dingguo had to leave his life today.

"Fifty percent."

Chong Xuan is much more conservative, and at the same time encourages the brothers around him:

"This march and war is a matter of whether God gives face or not, how can there be anything absolutely impossible."

"The sword has no eyes, the arrows are ruthless, maybe we don't have to rush over, the Donghu people are eating and drinking, and the big camp suddenly ran out of the water, and directly burned Zhang Dingguo to death, maybe it's not true."

Chen Rui and the others listened and raised some confidence.

But looking at the vast and boundless camp, my heart is still a little empty.

Fifty against fifty thousand, the advantage is not mine!

"Eighty percent, fifty percent"

Liu Ke nodded and said matter-of-factly:

"That's thirteen percent sure."

"We waited for fifty people, deep into the hinterland of the enemy, ten percent sure is already a sure victory, and now there is thirteen percent certainty, so what else can we say?"

Not only is it not good at counting, but it is also extraordinarily frivolous.

But in the ears of Chen Rui and others, they felt that they were extremely reliable.

Even more reliable than the previous well-founded analysis of Chongxuan.

Thirteen percent is sure, and the winning rate of Donghu people is minus thirty!

"Thirteen percent, thirteen percent"

Fifty horsemen followed and chattered like a demon.

Fang Cai's words seemed to be echoing in his ears.

They were infected by that unwavering self-confidence, and in a trance they seemed to hear the cry of victory, and somehow, their morale went up in a flash.

The chest rose and fell violently, and everyone's eyes flashed with excitement and determination.

It was already everyone who had clenched their blades and reins, gritted their teeth, and was ready to charge at any time.

Liu Ke saw that his morale was available, so he searched thousands of times in the camp and found the easiest place to rush to the big tent of the Chinese army.

When even raised the chessboard spear, shouted:

"Rush with me!"
