In Huo Yunsheng's big village thirty miles outside the east gate of Jianzhou City, Huo Yunsheng sat behind the desk in the handsome tent, holding a secret letter in his hand, sighing and frowning while reading. Hao Shaoqi and Hu Qiuren sat behind their respective desks on the left and right, waiting for the marshal to finish reading the letter and speak. After a long time, Huo Yunsheng raised his head and smacked his lips, "Wave the flag, ask for benevolence, this is bad! Lin Guanqin and Hao Zhengtong both surrendered to Tang Jiusheng, and they want to tie me up and sacrifice me to Tang Jiusheng!"

Hu Qiuren shook his head and said: "General, do you think, Lin Guanqin has no motive to surrender to Tang Jiusheng! He and Hao Zhengtong designed to kill the guards together, and finally escaped from the city, and was about to concentrate his forces to fight Tang Jiusheng to the death, why did he surrender Tang Jiusheng? Besides, are you General Huo the one who was captured so easily? This should be Tang Jiusheng's counter-plot to deliberately discord us! General, you must beware!"

However, Huo Yunsheng received a message from the undercover pigeon in the city, saying that Lin Guanqin and Hao Zhengtong secretly surrendered to Tang Jiusheng, and Tang Jiusheng let them go, let them come back to gather soldiers and horses, capture Huo Yunsheng alive and sacrifice it to King Wei, and let him treat the fat man and summon his soul. Although Huo Yunsheng was skeptical, he didn't dare to be unguarded. Otherwise, Tang Jiusheng didn't have any reason to let these two people come back! Cut off their heads and hang them on the city gate, and the morale here must be low.

Hao Shaoqi and Hu Qiuren both rose in response, said goodbye to Huo Yunsheng, and walked out of the big tent one after the other. Huo Yunsheng looked at Hu Qiuren's departing back and fell into deep thought. During the day, the scout came to report that Lin Guanqin and Hao Zhengtong had been defeated and captured by Tang Jiusheng and taken into the city, and Huo Yunsheng was both happy and worried at that time. Happily, he took out his opponent by the hand of the enemy. What worries is that Tang Jiusheng will definitely make a move on himself next.

However, since Tang Jiusheng let them back, there must be a reason, and it is not profitable to be early, so Huo Yunsheng was very puzzled about Tang Jiusheng's motives, whether he wanted to drive a wedge between them, and waited until the evening when the spies in the city risked their lives to send a message to him, telling him that Lin Guanqin and Hao Zhengneng had surrendered to Tang Jiusheng. Huo Yunsheng firmly believed at that time that these two people were sent back by Tang Jiusheng to deal with him. But Hu Qiuren said it was impossible, what did he mean?

Five miles away, is Hao Zhengtong's camp, at this time the lights in the Chinese military tent are brilliant, Hao Zhengtong, Lin Guanqin, Luo Jinrong, He Chao and others are all there, each sitting behind the case, fiercely arguing about the next move.

Hao Zhengtong's lieutenant He Chao shook his head and said: " General Lin, I think this matter is inappropriate, our three-way soldiers and horses should join forces to deal with Tang Jiusheng, our overall strength exceeds Tang Jiusheng, but now Anshu has three thousand soldiers and horses in the deep ditch outside the east gate, and Huzhou has also come with five thousand soldiers and horses, squatting behind Lao Yeling and staring at us, although we have more total troops, but we don't have any advantage, and Huo Yunsheng has the courage to resist and also take the soul snatching demon, we can use him, I don't think it's better to engage in infighting, it's better to think in the long run!"

Hao Zhengtong said suspiciously: "In this case, why did the King of Jiannan send him to bring heavy troops to surround Jianzhou City?

Hao Zhengtong frowned and thought for a long time, then raised his head and asked: "Brother Lin, I saw him when I came, and I chatted with him too, why don't I go and probe his tone first? If he is willing to cooperate with us, wouldn't it be better? Even if we can't cooperate, don't stumble on each other, after all, we are all our own people, don't you say?"

When Hao Zhengtong heard Luo Jinrong say this, he was startled, and his heart was not steady, he thought for a long time, and muttered: "Otherwise, I will take some soldiers to meet him? If he is going to be unfavorable to us, it will not be too late for us to do it again!"

Hao Zhengtong picked up the tea bowl and drank it all, and the soldiers next to him immediately poured him a big bowl of tea. Hao Zhengtong had a headache and said: "According to what you say, it's not impossible for us to fight with Tang Jiusheng, but if he stabs us in the back, then aren't we in big trouble?

He Chao, who had been silent, suddenly said: "If it is really what you said, then it is better to strike first and get rid of Huo Yunsheng first, otherwise if he stabs us in the back, we really can't bear it." Now if Jianzhou doesn't have internal help, it is impossible to fight down, inside and outside the city, Tang Jiusheng also has more than 10,000 people, plus the moat is wide and the city wall is tall, it is no fun for us to attack at all!"

Lin Guanqin resolutely said: "Old Hao, I will now go to the west and north of the city to transfer troops, and prepare to come over to reinforce you, we can't delay it any longer, let's do it overnight." Otherwise, wait until tomorrow, if the news leaks out, he will definitely be on guard, and it will not be easy to do it at that time! Tonight, I will borrow your army as the main force and swallow Huo Yunsheng's team, I will transfer troops, and we will act separately!"

Lao Yeling Dazhai, Sun Jiangdong was drinking in the Juyi Hall with Chonglai, and suddenly heard an eagle chirping outside the Juyi Hall. He jumped up again and said with a smile: "The boss has a letter coming!" and hurriedly ran out, and after a while, Xiaoqing, a sparrowhawk squatting on his shoulder, walked in with a smile, unfolded the letter, and read it with Sun Jiangdong under the lamp.

Sun Jiangdong laughed, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, and said with his eyebrows flying: "Okay! Then let's lead the troops and set off!"
