and state.

Gohara-gun.

This place has been placed since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

It has always been an extremely important military town at the border.

That's why.

After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty.

And the seat of the governor of the state was placed here.

However.

With the Han King Yang Liang in the previous years concurrently served as the governor of the state of soldiers and horses.

Many officials have fallen to this imperial relative, which made Zhang Xutuo, the chief who really presided over the state affairs, a little shabby.

In time.

and the governor's mansion of the state fell to the side.

There are only 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command.

So much so that after Yang Liang, the king of Han, raised his troops, Zhang Xutuo could only trap Wuyuan County, and did not dare to send troops south to fight the rebels head-on.

At this moment.

Han King Yang Liang Chen Bing Yellow River.

Yu Gongli, Yu Gongliang, and Yu Gongyou swept through the state.

Liu Wuzhou of Yanmen County actively sent troops and waged many major battles with the rebels.

But.

Because when Yang Liang was the head of the soldiers and horses in Bingzhou, he was greedy for countless military salaries, money and food, so that except for the military horses under his command, the soldiers and horses in other places were all broken and unbearable.

Liu Wuzhou and Yu Gongli fought many times, losing more and winning less, and even their brothers Liu Shanbo and Ma Yi Taishou Wang Rengong were killed in front of the two armies.

Seeing that his soldiers and horses had suffered heavy losses.

Liu Wuzhou didn't dare to take the initiative to attack, so he had to hide in Yanmen County and rely on the city to defend it.

So.

Just when the war situation in the state was critical.

A mysterious figure came to Zhang Xutuo's mansion.

"The last general, Hou Junji, meet General Zhang!"

The person who came was none other than Hou Junji, the general under the command of Wang Ke of Jizhou Thorn History.

"Brother Wang...... Wang Zhenbei sent the general, what happened? ”

Zhang Xutuo looked at Hou Junji, his expression was a little complicated, and he asked.

Back then, he and Wang Ke went to Daxing City to fight in front of the palace, and they were full of spirit.

However, since taking up an official position.

Zhang Xutuo was obsessed with making friends with all the powerful people in Daxing City, but he had no contact with Wang Ke, an old friend.

At this time.

It was a time of chaos in the state.

The first messenger to be sent with a letter was this old friend of his.

This kind of affection had to make Zhang Xutuo's heart warm and very moved.

"My general has already ordered all the soldiers and horses and is ready to come to the rescue in person, so I ask General Zhang to hold on for a few more days...... My general said that within ten days, his soldiers and horses will come! ”

Hou Junji handed over the letter, and at the same time said to Zhang Xutuo.

"Wang Zhenbei raised troops in person?"

Heard Hou Junji say this.

Zhang Xutuo was taken aback and hurriedly asked for confirmation.

"Exactly!"

Hou Junji nodded and said.

"Good, good! General, please go back and tell Wang Zhenbei that the last general will definitely defend Wuyuan County, so as to fight the thieves together with Wang Zhenbei! ”

Zhang Xutuo hurriedly stood up, bowed his hand slightly to the north, and then said to Hou Junji.

"General Zhang rest assured, when the last general goes back, he will definitely explain his words to my general!"

Hou Junji bowed his hand in return, and then said.

Let's talk about it.

He had a meal in Wuyuan County, and then said goodbye to Zhang Xutuo and rode back to Jizhou City on a fast horse.

……

Inside the city of Jizhou.

In the Assassin's Mansion.

Wang Ke got Zhang Xutuo's reply.

He immediately summoned Xu Maogong, Wei Zheng, and Fang Xuanling to discuss countermeasures.

"General, at the moment, we have fierce generals under our command, why do you still want to hand over that Zhang Sutuo?"

Xu Maogong frowned and asked Wang Kedao.

According to his intelligence.

Although this Zhang Xutuo and Wang Ke have known each other for a long time, the relationship has never been too good, and it is not as good as Yang Xuangan, Xin Wenli, or even as good as Master Shang's apprentice.

However, Wang Ke favored Zhang Xutuo, and now he is ready to personally lead the troops and horses to support the annexation of the state.

This kind of behavior really made Xu Maogong a little incomprehensible.

"Huh! Although this Sutuo is keen on fame, but in his bones he is a righteous person, and now I send troops to save him, he will repay me tenfold in the future...... Take a step back and say, if he is really unkind, how will the people of the world think of me afterwards? And what do you think of him? ”

Wang Ke smiled slightly and explained to Xu Maogong.

"I see...... The minister was taught. ”

Xu Maogong arched his hand and said.

"Well, Mr. Xu thinks about the military, and often starts from the reality of the situation at the moment, and he has no last resort, but he is a talent in the world! So there is no need to be too humble. ”

Wang Ke waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Lord, who should be the vanguard in this dispatch?"

Then.

Wei Zheng, who has always disliked to talk much, asked.

"Wang Junke, Su Dingfang, Mai Tiezhu, Yuan Zhen, and Kong Xu are all near Zhuojun and fighting against Zhou Luohu...... It is better to take Song Jingang, Hao Xiaode, and Wang Tianyou as generals, all of whom are heavily ridden and marched west to suppress thieves. ”

After thinking for a while, Wang Ke said.

"The Lord is right."

When Wei Zheng heard this, he nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Hahahaha! Wei Xuancheng rarely praises people, but today's lord is quite lucky. ”

See this.

Xu Maogong said with a joke.

"Then I'm really honored."

Wang Ke looked at Wei Zheng with a smile.

"Humph! Don't listen to this bull's nose, the minister has always had one thing to say, and he is not an unkind person. ”

Wei Zheng's face was indifferent, he arched his hand slightly, and said to Wang Ke.

"Hahaha! You stinky old man, I'm a bull nose, aren't you? ”

Xu Maogong laughed, pointed at Wei Zheng, and said.

……

Next.

Wang Ke once again summoned his generals.

He ordered Song Jingang and Hao Xiaode to assemble 5,000 heavy cavalry under his command to wait for the order.

Then, Wang Tianyou was ordered to lead 500 elite guards cavalry to accompany him.

He personally served as the main general, leading the 5,500 soldiers and horses to Bingzhou.

As for many affairs in Jizhou City, they were handed over to Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Ling Wei, and Gan Meng.

When the generals heard this, they all obeyed the order, and immediately prepared their own food, raised food and grass, and waited to fight.

Two more days passed.

A lot of things are ready to stop.

Wang Ke led Wang Tianyou, Song Jingang, and Hao Xiaode, led 5,500 iron horsemen to set off, and went straight to the border of Bingzhou.

……

this day.

The soldiers and horses had been on the road for three days.

The army came to the vicinity of Kamiya County and set up camp in a mountain col.

After many soldiers had settled down, Wang Ke returned to his military tent to rest.

Unexpectedly.

It was the third watch in the middle of the night.

There was a faint sound of gold and iron clashing and weapons colliding.

Wang Ke's eyelids trembling slightly on the bed, and he woke up slowly.

He listened intently, and saw that it was not a dream, so he said, "What's going on outside?"

"Lord Qiqi, there are assassins who have broken into the account, and General Wang Tianyou has already led his troops to fight with him!"

The soldiers outside the door heard Wang Ke's call, hurriedly came in, and knelt on the ground to report.

"Assassins? Where is it now? Take me to see it. ”

I heard of an Assassin coming.

Wang Ke couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Immediately.

He turned over, put on his robe, and said to his soldiers.

"Lord, this assassin has extraordinary martial arts, wait for General Wang to capture him alive, and then the lord will interrogate him!"

The soldier hesitated a little and said to Wang Ke.

"It's okay, take me!"

At this time.

Wang Ke was already fully dressed, took a step, and walked out of his tent.

Seeing that his father-in-law is so stubborn.

The soldiers had no choice but to take Wang Ke to besiege the land of the Assassins.

But.

A few people have just arrived.

Wang Ke saw that Wang Tianyou, the commander of his own army, was kicked to the ground by a petite figure with a graceful figure and wearing a night suit, and his whole face immediately turned red.

"Can Wang Tianyou capture her?"

Wang Ke frowned slightly, thinking to himself.
