In the middle of the night, in Jiejiashan Dazhai, Zheng Daqiang couldn't sleep at night in his temporary residence, sighing for a long time, he was just going out to go to the toilet, and there were minions who followed him all the time, saying that they wanted to protect him, Zheng Daqiang then understood that people were not worried about themselves, so that Minions looked like themselves, it turned out that he persuaded Zhang Yuanyuan to surrender to King Wei, which made him suspicious, suspecting that he was a lobbyist or undercover agent sent by King Wei.

Zheng Daqiang sighed, thinking that this Zhang Yuanyuan really doesn't know what to do, although you have some soldiers and horses, but the soldiers and horses under the Wei Wang are strong and strong, and the brave generals are like clouds, if it is really the Wei King Tang Jiusheng who brought people to attack your cottage, how can you defend it? When he was annoyed, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside, and asked, "Zheng Zhai Master, are you asleep?"

Zheng Daqiang heard that the voice was Qiao Chongliang, hurriedly got up and opened the door, and said continuously: "I haven't slept yet!" The two exchanged a few words, Zheng Daqiang let Qiao Chongliang into the house, invited him to sit down, and quickly poured tea again, Qiao Chongliang was originally the second owner of the cottage, so naturally he was not polite to him, and the two of them chatted in the living room.

Qiao Chongliang said with a smile: "Master Zheng Zhai, I'm sorry, I'm bothering you to rest late at night! The conditions of our cottage are not good, and I ask Lord Zheng Zhai to take care of it! You have dealt with King Wei's soldiers and horses, what do you think King Wei's strength is?"

Zheng Daqiang sighed, "Brother Qiao, I am the general of the defeated army, a prisoner of the imperial court, and I will be dragged to beheading." Isn't this thanks to the fact that Master Zhang Zhai rescued me up the mountain, and it would be good if I could survive, and wouldn't sleeping in this comfortable bed be thousands of times better than sleeping in a prisoner's car? Speaking of Weiwangfu, do you want me to tell the truth, or do you want me to tell a lie?"

Qiao Chongliang laughed and said: "Brother Zheng, brother, I came to visit you late at night, naturally I didn't want to listen to you lie! I don't think the same thing as Lord Zhang Zhai, and I won't hurt you, you don't have to worry, you just need to tell me what the actual situation of King Wei and his soldiers and horses is, I have my own ideas." I have never dealt with King Wei, nor have I dealt with the soldiers and horses of King Wei's Mansion, but a few days ago, our Dazhai master suffered the loss of the soldiers and horses of King Wei's Mansion in Yujiang. ”

Zheng Daqiang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Brother Qiao, I was scared by King Wei, the first day, we went down the mountain to fight against his subordinate Hou Jingxian, and Jian Rang was chased and cut by him, if there was not a trap in the back mountain, Jian Rang would have to let him cut it." There is also a fierce man under him called Yulong Xingkong, who regards my Biji Mountain as if there is nothing, bypasses the bright post and secret post I set up, as if entering a no-man's land, and comes to Biji Village single-handedly, Jian Rang just made a move to let him lie down, how dare I not surrender?"

Qiao Chongliang's expression was solemn, and he asked again: "Except for the fierce generals, how is the military discipline compared to the original cattle and horses?"

Zheng Daqiang lamented: "After King Wei's soldiers and horses went to Biji Mountain to conquer Biji Village, they did not commit any offense against the people on the way down the mountain, and the military discipline was strict. I only regret that I listened to the words of the dead woman, first I didn't know the height of the earth and called the emperor, and then I refused to go down the mountain to surrender, and as a result, I became a prisoner, and I surrendered earlier, maybe it wouldn't be like this. Brother, believe my brother's words, come down!"

Qiao Chongliang pondered for a long time, and suddenly laughed and said, "Brother Zheng, are you going up the mountain to be a lobbyist for King Wei?"

Zheng Daqiang's face turned red, and he said angrily: "Brother Qiao, is this how you see me? I am just a 'thief' who has been escorted to a prisoner car and will be escorted to Yong'an for execution, and it is difficult to protect myself, if you don't save me today, I will be beheaded sooner or later! I just don't want to see you follow my old path! Brother, think about it, Niu Mandi organized nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, and more than 10,000 people came to the southwest road to defeat Jianzhou? Not only did you not take Jianzhou, but you were cleaned up by King Wei, how about your cottage compared to the soldiers and horses full of cattle?"

Qiao Chongliang shook his head and said: "We are just occupying the mountains as kings, and when it comes to soldiers, horses and generals, it is naturally not as good as cattle all over the ground." ”

Zheng Daqiang clapped his hands and said: "Isn't this right, you are not as strong as Niu Mandi, can you fight King Wei?"

Qiao Chongliang said with a smile: "But we are different from the cattle all over the ground! He is going to attack, and we are defending, how can we be the same? I now have nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses on this mountain, and it is naturally impossible to attack Jianzhou, but we only defend Jiejia Mountain, and it is not a problem to defend it!"

Zheng Daqiang waved his hand, and said: "Is it possible that with your strength in Jiejiazhai, can you still compete for the world? I can see clearly, after King Wei arrives in Jiannan, he will rectify the rule of officials, rectify military discipline, and exterminate the cottage, just to do Jiannan well, can he tolerate you going on like this in Jiejiashan? Brother Qiao, I am a rough man and short-sighted, but you are a scholar, you should understand these truths!"

Qiao Chongliang laughed wildly and said, "Brother Zheng, do you still dare to say that you were not sent by King Wei to persuade you to surrender? You also said that you are a rough person and don't know much words, but you said these words yourself?

Zheng Daqiang said calmly: "Brother, it turned out that this was not what I said, but it was not taught to me by King Wei, but it was said to me by my former master of Sanzhai, Fan Chenglin. Fan Chenglin persuaded me to go down the mountain and return to King Wei more than once, but I took it as a deaf ear, and as a result, I became what I am now! I regret it, I would not have listened to him earlier, and I would not have reached this point today!"

Qiao Chongliang suddenly realized that Fan Chenglin said this. Qiao Chongliang had already had the intention to surrender, but Zhang Yuanyuan was confused from time to time, he wanted to surrender for a while, and then he felt that his strength was okay, and it was very refreshing to be the boss of Zhanshan, capricious, and had no idea. Zhang Yuanyuan is the owner of the big village, and when he is a family, Qiao Chongliang can only persuade him, if he doesn't listen, Qiao Chongliang can't do it. So Qiao Chongliang was also very helpless.

When Dongwei's informant sent information, saying that Zheng Daqiang was captured by Tang Jiusheng and sent someone to escort him to Anshu, Qiao Chongliang had the heart to take the opportunity to persuade again, how could he think that Zhang Yuanyuan stared at him, and he had to lead his troops down the mountain to rob Zheng Daqiang, Qiao Chongliang was happy to see him suffer, how could he think that Ning Chenggang and Cheng Zifei of Weiwang's Mansion were very, and the two of them couldn't beat Zhang Yuanyuan together, and they abandoned the car and fled, which made Qiao Chongliang disappointed, thinking that this King Wei was in vain, and his fierce generals were so bad?

Now when he heard Zheng Daqiang say that King Wei's soldiers were strong and strong, and the fierce generals were like clouds, he muttered again, that Fan Chenglin was a scholar, and he saw the same thing. Qiao Chongliang knew that with the strength of Jiejiashan, it might be okay to defend himself, but it was no fun to fight for the world. A few days ago, when Zhang Yuanyuan led his troops to seize the county seat of Yujiang, he suffered a big loss, regardless of whether Yujiang was a big county or not, he was not even able to take a county seat, let alone others.

After chatting for a while, Qiao Chongliang got up to say goodbye, Zheng Daqiang slept peacefully, Zheng Daqiang also thought clearly before going to bed, if Zhang Yuanyuan didn't let him go, he could also take the opportunity to escape. If Zhang Yuanyuan is willing to listen to his persuasion and go down the mountain to surrender, then he will be regarded as a meritorious service, and there is still a glimmer of life, and if Zhang Yuanyuan is obsessed, then he will have to flee for his life.

The next morning, Zheng Daqiang fell asleep, out of the residence, there were minions outside to stop, Zheng Daqiang smiled and said that he wanted to visit the cottage, Minions hesitated, someone ran to report Dazhai to advocate Yuanyuan, the minions took Zheng Daqiang to go out, Zheng Daqiang walked all the way to see, the opinion of Jiashan Dazhai is orderly, far stronger than his own Biji Village, and he praised in his heart.

When Zhang Yuanyuan heard that Zheng Daqiang wanted to visit the cottage, he became suspicious again, and secretly said in his heart, "Does this Zheng Daqiang want to see the situation of my cottage and then send a letter to Tang Jiusheng, the king of the guards? This person is really here to be an undercover agent! Zhang Yuanyuan deliberately asked people to put his elite soldiers on the martial arts arena for drills, and he also personally accompanied Zheng Daqiang to watch, and said triumphantly: "Master Zheng Zhai, what do you think of my soldiers and horses?"

Zheng Daqiang nodded and praised: "Master Zhang Zhai, your soldiers and horses are very strong!" Zhang Yuanyuan just showed a smile, Zheng Daqiang added: "But King Wei's soldiers and horses are obviously stronger!" A sentence almost choked Zhang Yuanyuan to death, Zhang Yuanyuan was angry, and secretly scolded in his heart, this guy who lacks heart and eyes, can he speak? In order to help King Wei persuade me to surrender, it is really painstaking!

Ning Chenggang and Cheng Zifei ran out of more than ten miles with more than 500 soldiers and horses, and no one chased after them, so the two of them slowed down their horses, Ning Chenggang smiled and said: "Okay, as long as we can put Zheng Daqiang on the cottage without causing suspicion, then our task will be successfully completed, let's go back to see King Wei!"

The two of them led their troops to rush back, and walked another thirty miles before they met Tang Jiusheng and his men and horses catching up in a hurry. Tang Jiusheng saw that the two of them came back with the troops, and the prisoner car was no longer there, so he knew that Zhang Yuanyuan led someone to rob the prisoner car, Tang Jiusheng couldn't stop laughing, this time he just wanted to force Zheng Daqiang to be a lobbyist, and he couldn't tell him directly, it depends on what Zheng Daqiang said when he went up the mountain, if it can be done, Zheng Daqiang can be exempted from the death penalty.

Tang Jiusheng called a tall and shrewd colonel again, and whispered something in his ear, and the colonel happily took the order, rode a fast horse and went straight to Jiejia Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain on the periphery of Jiejia Mountain, there are patrol minions cruising nearby, because I heard that the soldiers and horses of the king of Wei want to return to Anshu, and this is the only way, so Zhang Yuanyuan sent people to patrol here, lest the soldiers and horses of the king of Wei will do something to the cottage as soon as they pass. Huang Laosi, the small leader of the mountain patrol minions who looked at the halfway slope, saw a fast horse running along the official road from a distance, and waited until he got closer to see it, it turned out that there was a military master on horseback, and there was a goose feather feather on his helmet, which seemed to be a low-level officer.

The king sent Huang Laosi to bring people to patrol the mountain to see when the soldiers and horses of the king of Wei would arrive. Huang Laosi had 35 men under his command, and this officer with a goose feather on his head was a single person, so was there any reason not to take him down? Maybe he was carrying some important information! Huang Laosi hurriedly asked more than 10 of his men to ambush him on the road and set up a tripping rope. He led someone in front of him to intercept him.

The officer rode a fast horse, crazy ran over, he also knew that there was a cottage nearby, so he had been on guard against the bandits, running and running he suddenly found that the road seemed to be wrong, as if there was a tripline, the officer was quite skilled in riding, as soon as he lifted the horse, he jumped from the tripwire. More than a dozen minions lying in ambush on the side of the road watched this guy fly by, didn't trip, and shouted pity, and quickly rang the bell to notify the friendly forces in front.

When Huang Laosi heard the bell and knew that the tripping rope had failed, he immediately shouted and blocked the official road with more than a dozen horsemen. When he saw it, a dozen horsemen had already rushed towards him with their sabers, and the officer was so frightened that he turned around and ran, but when he turned around, he found that there were more than a dozen people behind him blocking his retreat.

The officer was a wise man, and the good man did not suffer the immediate loss, so he immediately took his horse and shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, the little one is willing to surrender!

Huang Lao Si was overjoyed and shouted, "It's okay to leave you alive, you can get off your horse, throw your knife on the ground!" The officer obediently jumped off his horse, threw the saber aside, and raised his hands above his head. Huang Laosi asked people to collect his saber, and then let people bring him to the horse, and then asked, "What are you doing? What are you doing running so fast?"

The officer smiled bitterly and said: "Grandpa Wang, the younger one is the halberd chief under King Wei, my surname is Yu, King Wei has a letter to send me back to Anshu and send it to the palace!" Huang Laosi looked the officer up and down, jumped off the horse himself, and ordered the officer to hand over the letter, the officer shook his head and said: "Grandpa Wang, I dare not give you the letter, if I lose this letter, King Wei will have to cut me! I have twenty taels of silver here, you use it to buy road money, just ask to release the small one!"

Seeing him so cowardly, Huang Laosi laughed secretly in his heart, and shouted: "You take out the silver and I'll see it!" The officer surnamed Yu didn't know what to do, and took out a silver ingot from his arms, and sure enough, there were about twenty taels. Huang Laosi snatched the silver from his hand, put it into his arms, and laughed: "I have the silver to drink flower wine! Brothers, tie him up for me first!"

The minions agreed, and stepped forward to tie up the officer, and some minions took out the letter from their bosoms. The officer surnamed Yu shouted: "Grandpa Wang, no! Since you have taken the money to buy the road, why don't you let me live? If King Wei knew that this letter was lost, he would have to cut me down!"

Huang Lao Sili ignored him, threw the letter to a literate little minions, and said loudly: "Read!" The little minions stammered and read it, the letter probably meant that there were eleven carts of gold, silver and jewelry in the army to be pulled back to Anshu, and now Tang Jiusheng did not have enough manpower in his hands, and Ning Chenggang and Cheng Zifeigang were robbed by the mountain bandits in Jiejia Mountain, so Tang Jiusheng was very panicked and sent people back to Anshu to transfer troops to protect these gold, silver and jewelry.

After hearing this, Huang Laosi's eyes widened, and he turned around and smiled: "Brothers and brothers, we are developed! Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up the mountain to see the master of Dazhai! King Wei has sent us gold and silver!"
