Qin Ke can still recall the frenzied shouts of "Big, big, big!" from the people he saw in Jinzhou before, as if they were not gambling on the size, but just fighting their voices.

At this point, the other voice usually becomes a little faint and almost negligible.

On the wide table, there was a box with large characters written on it, piled up with copper coins, silver, and jewelry, and in another box with small characters, it looked much bleaker, and there were even many people who hesitated to withdraw their bets and stuff them into the "big" box before the sound of "buy and leave".

In fact, many people may not have a small heart. Gao Yishui had just won a small victory at that time, and with his habits, no matter whether he won or lost, it was only within ten taels of silver, so Qin Ke didn't drag him out of the gambling house forcefully.

He stretched lazily and continued, "It's human nature to go with the flow, but it's not a bad thing, because most people don't have the ability to make the right choice, and in that case, it's better to follow the pace of most people. ”

He blinked mysteriously and smiled, "From beginning to end, the victory is half against half, isn't it?"

In fact, the current situation is similar, even if Wang Nan leads his subordinates out to shout, it can make a small number of people believe that Wang Xuanwei's reinforcements have arrived, but in the vast crowd, how long can such a voice remain?

"Then what should I do?" Wang Nan said in a rough voice: "People don't believe it if they shout at the top of their voices, and if we don't say it in our stomachs, they won't know about it." Anyway, no one believes what we say, so could it be that we have to pull the neck of the surnamed Lin and ask him to speak?"

Guo Kai looked at him seriously, nodded and said, "You are right. ”

Wang Nan's eyes widened.

Guo Kai continued: "The only way to do this is to let Lin Xin ...... No, as long as any of the rebels admits in front of everyone that reinforcements have arrived, the situation can now be resolved. ”

"How is this possible?" Wang Nan pointed in the direction outside the stable, and said, "Let them open their mouths and say that the reinforcements are waiting for us outside Pinggu?

"Of course not. Guo Kai said: "So we have to force him to speak......"

Qin Ke felt Guo Kai's scorching gaze, a chill ran down his spine for a while, and hurriedly said, "What do you mean? If you have something to say, don't look at me like that......"

Guo Kai raised his hand suddenly, and folded his hands to the end: "Little brother, this matter ...... Maybe only you can do it. ”

Qin Ke was a little confused by Guo Kai's gift, waved his hand again and again, and took several steps back.

"Being able to climb up from such a steep cliff proves that the little brother's cultivation is indeed good. Of course, Guo Kai knew Qin Ke's concerns, and said mildly: "The cultivators in the army, they are all very familiar, and little brother, you are a fresh face, I think they will not be defensive against you......

"Alright, alright...... I know what you're trying to say. Qin Ke covered his face, and his palms were covered with his slightly painful and tangled expression, "It's very difficult for me to get into here, and now I have to touch over there, and I have to catch him in the army and force him to speak for us, this is not a difficult question, this is purely looking for death." ”

"I am not asking you to take the commander from among the hosts. Guo Kai laughed, "I just want the little brother to cooperate with us in a play......"

Outside the stables, soldiers on either side were resting about a hundred and fifty paces apart.

In fact, this distance is still within the range of each other's bows and arrows, but not every Mojia cavalry has a crossbow as powerful as the black horse, and not every cavalry can be as free as the Northern Barbarians can fire their bows and arrows on their horses as smoothly as flat ground.

But this does not mean that the battle between the two sides is not fierce, on the contrary, when all the collisions turn into pure hand-to-hand combat and the interplay of iron weapons, the bloody meaning will only be stronger than the rain of guns and arrows.

Lin Xin stood on a high place, looking at the tightly guarded stable, and hated itchy, if it weren't for those people who insisted on tea to assassinate Guo Kai, how could they let that soft thing let people go?

As soon as Guo Kai ran away, all his plans were also messed up.

Now that the sky is getting darker, once the night falls, the attack will become more difficult, and the time limit for the surrender promised by the Tang envoy will be delayed again and again.

"What's wrong with that guy Zhang? Lin Xin had a hot temper, at this time he was listening to the report of his subordinates, and at the same time discussing the offensive strategy with the two thousand-man generals beside him, and finally he couldn't bear it in the middle of speaking, and scolded loudly: "Lao Zhang shouldn't retreat from the battle, right?

"Don't say that. Beside him, Hu Tian shook his head, "Things have come to this point, can you tolerate him to retreat from the battle?" The Tang army outside Pinggu is guarding, and he himself has no way to enter the heavens and no way to enter the earth, and if he wants to live, he can only follow us." ”

Lin Xin listened to Hu Tian's words, and felt a little relieved, but he was still a little resentful, and said: "I called someone to report three times, and I haven't brought anyone over until now." If it weren't for the fact that we only have 4,000 troops in our hands now, I'm afraid that Guo Kai would have been pulled out long ago! There is also Wang Nan, a bastard, who will not surrender to death for the sake of the grudge with the Tang people in the past...... Oh, stay in Qingshan without fear of no firewood, your life is almost gone, and you will revenge the family and the country!"

Hu Tian also smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Wang Nan, he ...... has always been an upright person, and he can stick to his heart until now, which can be regarded as his ambition. As for Zhang Jiuxin...... He probably has to integrate the people below, after all, many of his subordinates have been promoted by Guo Kai, although he is holding his stomach this time, but if they really want to rebel with a knife, they still have to weigh it. ”

"Hmph. Lin Xin sneered, "But I don't have the patience to wait forever, I'll wait another quarter of an hour, if he can't bring someone with him again, I'll go over to find him in person." ”

Suddenly, the wide stable fence in front of him cracked in the cries from the opposite side, and a rough voice shouted, "You bastard!"

Lin Xin suddenly became angry, of course he heard that this voice was Wang Nan's voice, and immediately shouted: "Wang Nan! Don't be arrogant! You and Guo Kai, that old horseman, sooner or later will have to die at my hands!"

"The surname is Lin! Are you coming! Lao Tzu is still afraid that you won't succeed?" Wang Nan's figure gradually appeared in the crack, and on both sides were sergeants armed with crossbow arrows.

Lin Xin didn't dare to act rashly, after all, Wang Nan had eighty percent of the army's bows and crossbows in his hands, which was also something that Lin Xin and Hu Tian had not considered in advance.

And when he carefully saw the situation in the crack, he found that there were several staggering soldiers standing in front of Wang Nan, each with his head drooping.

Wang Nan unceremoniously flew up and kicked a soldier in the back, and the soldier was hit by such a kick that the soldier was unsteady on his feet and fell to the ground.

"Get up, damn the dog, get up for Lao Tzu, get a knife again, cut me with a knife!"

Obviously, that kick Wang Nan left a little bit of strength, but his kind of subordinate mercy was not moved by compassion, but in order to let Lin Xin on the opposite side see more clearly, he roared loudly: "The surname Lin! Your methods are really inferior, and you don't forget to send assassins to me at this time, but it's a pity, you don't send assassins with better skills, what kind of goods is this? Do you have qi and blood to cultivate? Or did you specifically find these stupid and bold people to amuse my brother and me?"

Lin Xin stood on a high place, looking at the soldiers who were constantly being driven forward, silent.

The two armies faced each other and could not be attacked for a long time, so it was strange that he did not send people to attack the interior at this time, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate him.

Although Guo Kai has the cultivation of the first realm, as long as he finds the right time, it is still a white knife in and a red knife out.

As soon as Guo Kai died, Wang Nan could not support it alone, and the remaining generals surnamed Lu were not worth mentioning, and this stable could naturally be self-defeating.

It's just that they didn't think that Guo Kai and Wang Nan resisted desperately and held the stable, and at the same time, they still caught out all the assassins they had mixed in in such a short time.

In a few breaths, Wang Nan had already driven everyone to the front of the formation, lined up, and several sergeants under his command kicked them to their knees.

"Listen!" Wang Nan said loudly to the military formation under Lin Xin and Hu Tian: "Don't be deceived by this surnamed Lin! You should think clearly, how many people of our Mo family have been killed by the Tang army in this expedition against our Mo family? Zhao Kuan's 70,000 soldiers and horses were burned, and none of the remaining prisoners have survived to this day? You have to lay down your weapons now and put your lives in the hands of those executioners...... Do you really think that you are blessed with a great life and can sit back and relax?"

This was the apprehension in everyone's hearts, after all, no one knew what kind of results everyone could get after surrendering to the Tang Army, as he shouted more and more passionately, the soldiers who were sitting on the ground resting on Lin Xin's side also whispered.

Seeing that the army's heart was shaken, Lin Xin immediately retorted: "Don't listen to his nonsense! He said that the Tang army killed prisoners under Jinzhou City, but which of you saw this with your own eyes? That's all rumors! The envoy of the Tang army has promised me that as long as we put down our weapons, we will definitely give us a way to live!"

"Fart!" Wang Nan interrupted him in the air, "Even if you fight to the death, you can die on the battlefield, and you can leave a good reputation for sacrificing your life for the country, but if you vote for the Tang Army this time, even if you save your life? Don't forget, your wife, children, and parents are still in the Mo family, what face will you have to see them in the future? Even, if you vote for the Tang Army here, they may lose their heads!"

Although the Mohist laws were not very strict, both Confucianism and Legalism showed no mercy to those who committed treason and surrendered to the enemy. Once the news of their surrender was transmitted back to the countryside, their relatives were either hated and rejected by their neighbors, or they were harassed by the government and held accountable.

Wang Nan saw that the soldiers on the other side were talking to each other more and more, and the expression on his face became hesitant, and he nodded secretly.

But that's not his ultimate goal.

When Lin Xin heard this, he sneered: "Alarmist. What do we have to do with our families when we surrender to the Tang Army? The Mo family has never had a precedent for this kind of punishment of crimes, and besides, sooner or later, this campaign will have a result, and it is still unknown whether the Mo family's world will be as it is today. At least one life remains, and I can still see the ending, and you ......"

Wang Nan also sneered and said, "The Mo family's world...... It turns out that you have long harbored a rebellious heart, I can't imagine it, I can't think of it, you have eaten the rice of the Mo family for so many years, and now you want to even smash this cauldron that gave birth to you and raised you?"

Lin Xin was not ashamed, and raised his voice: "If you want to blame it, blame Guo Kai's old horseman, I thought that I could earn some credit by following him, but who would ever want to die with him? What kind of service to the country, what kind of comrades! Will the comrades of the three counties pull the soldiers of the three counties to such a point of exhaustion?"

"If you are afraid of death, don't get involved with the soldiers of the three armies. Night finally fell, the torches lit everywhere flickered, Wang Nan still couldn't see Lin Xin's face clearly, he took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "I have nothing to say to you traitor, these people you sent, I will return them to you now!"

After saying that, he waved his hand.

When Lin Xin opened his mouth to speak, the soldiers beside Wang Nan flashed with swords, and the five great heads suddenly rose to the sky, and blood splattered, staining the high fence of the stable.

Of the six assassins, five of them were beheaded in a short period of time, probably because the smell of blood stimulated everyone's numb nerves, and the soldiers under Wang Nan suddenly became excited, shouting like a wave, shaking the more than 4,000 people on the other side with some fear.

And when the broadsword was raised high and was about to fall on the back of the neck of the last assassin, Wang Nan raised his hand sharply to stop the soldier's movements.
