Juyong Pass!

Night has fallen.

Song Zhong arrived in a hurry with an army of 30,000.

He glanced up at the world's No. 1 Xiongguan, and immediately ordered someone to call the pass.

It's just that under the dark night, Song Zhong's face was a little gloomy.

After he was a founding veteran, he was appreciated by his grandfather because of his father's merits, so he was promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard in the thirtieth year of Hongwu.

As a result, before the buttocks of the Jinyi Guard Commander were hot, he was impeached by Yushi and transferred to Fengyang Zhongwei Commander.

After going around and around, before the grandfather died, he made him the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and asked him to swear allegiance to the new emperor Zhu Yunwen.

Emperor Taizu Gao was as kind to Song Zhong as a mountain, and Song Zhong naturally obeyed his orders and was wholeheartedly loyal to the new emperor Zhu Yunwen.

It's just that no one thought that after Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne and became emperor, he wantonly promoted the status of Gao Wenchen, tried his best to suppress the military generals in the court, and conspired with Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru and others to cut the domain.

The notorious Jinyi Wei became the target of public criticism, and was abandoned by the new emperor Zhu Yunwen almost instantly.

And he, Song Zhong, was also excluded from the court, and led the army to garrison Kaiping and held Zhu Di, the king of Yan, hostage.

But Kaiping lives far away, and it is not a place for people to stay at all!

Although Song Zhong was loyal to the new emperor Zhu Yunwen, the new emperor's actions were very chilling, and it was inevitable that he would be resentful.

However, if Zhu Di, the king of Yan, is successfully eradicated this time, and the great trouble is solved for His Majesty the Emperor, maybe he can return to the court with this great achievement and leave this bitter cold place!

Just when Song Zhong was full of thoughts, Juyong closed the city gate and opened it, and a man rode out to meet him.

Before he could get closer, the man turned over and dismounted, bowed to Song Zhong, and saluted.

"General Song, don't come unharmed!"

"The last general, Zhang Xin, is here to welcome General Song!"

Zhang Xin?

How did he end up here?

Song Zhong suddenly had doubts in his heart, but there was no hint of it on the surface.

He looked around, but he didn't see Peng Ju's figure, and his heart suddenly tightened.

"Why is General Zhang here?"

"The situation in Beiping is so tense, shouldn't General Zhang assist General Xie Gui in Beiping now, preparing to capture Zhu Di, the king of Yan?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xin was shocked.

This Song Zhong really deserves to be the former commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he is a little too cautious.

Zhang Xin is as stable as an old dog on the surface, but in fact, he is panicked inside!

"General Song doesn't know that the imperial court has issued a secret edict."

"It is precisely because of this that General Xie Gui urgently transferred General Song into the customs and captured Zhu Di, the king of Yan, with us and others!"

Imperial court edict?

Hearing this, Song Zhong was immediately a little moved.

"The edict is ......"

"General Song, this is not the place to speak."

Zhang Xin reminded meaningfully, and then led Song Zhong towards the city gate.

Song Zhong also reacted, and subconsciously followed Zhang Xin to the city gate.

However, for some reason, he always felt uneasy in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen!

Song Zhong looked around and asked casually, pretending to be unintentional.

"Huh?"

"Where's Peng Ju?"

"Why don't you see him?"

Peng Junai is Song Zhong's confidant and Juyong's guard.

It stands to reason that when he arrives at this Juyong Pass, Peng Ju will definitely come out to greet him in person!

But if you can't figure him, it's very doubtful!

Zhang Xin secretly complained to himself, he didn't expect this Song Zhong to be so difficult, be extremely careful!

However, in order to succeed in the plan, lure Song Zhong into Juyong Pass, and catch turtles in the urn again, Zhang Xin could only make up an excuse casually, pretending to snort angrily.

"Speaking of this Peng Ju, General Song has to discipline him well!"

"Since this Peng Ju became the guard of Juyong Pass, he has been nepotistic, lustful, and drinking and having fun all day long, which has made Juyong Pass's armaments slackened and the atmosphere is very bad!"

"If it weren't for the fact that Peng Ju was General Song's person, the general would have cut off his head a long time ago to set an example!"

Hearing this, Song Zhong's face changed, and he secretly scolded Peng Ju for being stupid!

Peng Ju is good at wine, and Song Zhong naturally knows it.

It's just that he never thought that this idiot would be such a bastard, openly drinking and having fun in the army, and being sexual!

It's not just about corrupting military discipline!

If he was found out by those civil officials and gentry above the court, maybe he would be implicated in Song Zhong!

As soon as he thought of this, Song Zhong's face became more and more gloomy!

"Where's this bastard now?"

"Ben will personally slaughter him to set an example!"

Zhang Xin glanced at Song Zhong with some surprise, and said with a casual smile: "Peng Ju has been temporarily imprisoned, and General Song can dispose of it himself!"

"In that case, thank you General Zhang!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and soon entered the city gate.

However, the uneasiness in Song Zhong's heart did not gradually dissipate, but became more and more intense.

He looked around, only to see several defenders looking at him sneakily, undisguised as killing intent!

"Not good!"

"Hit the mark!"

"Retreat!"

Song Zhong shouted angrily in shock.

But it didn't work!

I saw that the city gate weighing thousands of catties fell suddenly, directly crushing dozens of soldiers who were entering the city into meat puree!

At the same time, Zhang Xin had already galloped away without a trace, and a large number of soldiers with torches appeared on the passes of the surrounding city walls, bending their bows and arrows at themselves!

Song Zhong looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, and roared loudly: "Zhang Xin, you thief, do you want to rebel?"

"Hahaha......" A burst of laughter came, and Zhu Di appeared on the city wall.

"Song Zhong, this king is in the heavens, and he is in danger of being in peace, how can he say that he is rebelling?"

"King Yan...... Zhu Di! When Song Zhong saw Zhu Di, his face was immediately shocked!

How is this possible?

Zhu Di has already raised troops?

And also took the Juyong Pass first?

Why didn't I receive any news at all?

Zhu Di looked at Song Zhong, who was lost and depressed, and his heart was suddenly full of pride!

This is what Su Yang's kid said about "poor information"!

If Song Zhong learned that Juyong Pass had been lost, he would definitely not fall into the trap so easily!

"Song Zhong, you are gone, and you still don't surrender?"

"Heaven has the virtue of a good life, this king is not willing to kill more evil, as long as you surrender, this king will spare your life!"

When Song Zhong's soldiers heard this, they were immediately a little flustered.

After all, they are now under siege, and if they resist stubbornly, they are afraid that they will not survive tonight!

At this time, Zhang Xin had already gone and returned, followed by the elite of the 5,000 Yan army, completely blocking the survival of Song Zhong's army.

At the same time, there was also a deafening shout of killing outside the city gate, which was the ambush soldiers who Zhu Di had already ambushed at the city gate!

The big war is about to break out, and the killing is loud in an instant!

Song Zhong was unwilling to surrender, and pointed at Zhu Di and scolded angrily: "Zhu Di, you are a rebellious minister and thief, you dare to rebel and make trouble, you are the national thief of the Ming Dynasty!"

"If you want Ben to surrender to you, a national thief, go dream!"

"Sons, rush out!"

Zhu Di was furious when he heard this, and ordered with hatred: "Release the arrow!"

Since you Song Zhong don't know what to do, then this king will send you to the end today!

Countless arrows shot out, taking the lives of a large number of soldiers!

With such a close distance, coupled with the condescending position of the Yan army, it was difficult for Song Zhong's army to resist at all, so they could only dodge the rain of arrows in a hurry.

However, Zhang Xin also launched an attack with 5,000 elite soldiers, and took advantage of the chaos of Song Zhong and others to rush in!

Zhang Xin's purpose is very clear, that is, the main general Song Zhong, as long as he kills this person, this battle will end.

Song Zhong struck left and right, but it was difficult to break out of the encirclement at all, but he was hit by several sharp arrows on his body, which hurt him heartbreakingly.

Zhang Xin had been observing the situation and waiting for an opportunity, and when he saw Song Zhong being shot by an arrow and his body falling off his horse uncontrollably, he immediately slapped his horse forward and slashed Song Zhong's head with a knife!

"Song Zhong is dead, those who descend will not be killed!"
