After sending Lang Zhong away, Tianci and Chen Gengsheng came out of the prison. Chen Gengsheng wiped a handful of tears and said hatefully: "I must personally slaughter the Wang Ba cake surnamed Wu to avenge King Yuwen!"

"Didn't you say that King Yuwen was harmed by the King of Zhenxi?" Tianci was a little confused.

"Both of them should be killed, especially the one surnamed Wu, although it was not his hand, but it was he who instigated the king of Zhenxi to do it, and he was trying to cover up his crime. ”

"What crime? How do you know?" asked Tianci again and again.

"My lord, do you remember the last time I was interrogated at the gate, the two bags of things I brought with me? Chen Gengsheng said.

"Oh, it's the dart you robbed from Zheng Darthead, I had already found out at the time, the dart robbery was done by King Yuwen's men, so I deliberately set up that pass, just to block you, one is to show you the way, and the other is to ask you to bring something to King Yuwen. Tianci said with some pride.

Hearing Tianci say this, I thought to myself, I can't see that although this person is young, he is like a god. Chen Gengsheng admired and admired God's gift even more.

"On the night of the dismount, Wu Zheng led his troops into the mansion of King Yuwen, rummaging around, and when I found out that they were coming for this bag of books, I secretly took out a few books from the bag and took them with them, they probably didn't find out, but just searched the two bags of books. Chen Gengsheng continued, "When I looked through these account books later, I found that they all recorded the details of the transactions with Tufan in the trade of weapons and iron materials, which is a felony of selling state property to an enemy country without permission. ”

"Oh, then are all these things related to Wu Zheng?" Tianci asked.

"Of course, but he is just an assistant, the real behind-the-scenes operator is Wu Zheng's godfather, and Huang Kecheng, an important minister of the court, is the admiral. In fact, Wu Zheng came to the Western Regions on business this time to be sent by Lord Huang, and the main purpose was to collect this package of evidence and harm King Yuwen. Chen Gengsheng said angrily.

Chen Gengsheng said, put his hand under his clothes, took out an account book from his waist and handed it to Tianci.

Tianci took it and took a look, and sure enough, there were records of the transactions of various weapons, and there were nearly 100 transactions on this account book alone, and the selling price was very cheap, almost many of them were sold and sent.

After Tianci read the account book, he thought about it for a while. He asked Chen Gengsheng to hand over all the other account books to him. "I have a way to clean up this Wu Zheng, I don't need you to do it again. ”

Chen Gengsheng handed over several account books on his body to Tianci according to what Tianci said, and after Tianci collected them, the two walked towards the General Military Mansion.

When the two of them returned to the General Soldier's Mansion, the sky had gradually brightened, the morning light slowly opened the curtain, the sky revealed the white of the fish's belly, and the first rays of morning light shot through the mist and projected on the streets of this small border town.

At this moment, a piercing horn sounded from the west of the city, followed by a rapid trumpet sound from the southeast, south, and north directions.

"It's not good, there's hostility. As soon as Tianci reacted, a herald hurriedly rushed into the courtyard and reported: "Lord Yu Zongbing, the Tufan army suddenly sent troops to Quyang City, and it is estimated that there are 100,000 people, and they have surrounded Quyang County. Now that the four gates of the city are in crisis, please make a decision quickly. ”

"Quickly ordered all the military camps in the city to arrange according to the usual arrangement, and quickly go to their respective strongholds to make preparations before the battle. Ordered General Liu to quickly lead the iron cavalry to Xicheng to stand by. ”

After receiving the order, the herald left in a hurry, and Tianci immediately returned to the house to change into a battle robe and armor, and went straight to the West City Gate with a team of guards and Chen Gengsheng.

Tianci went up to the city tower and looked down, sure enough, the distance in front of the city was densely packed with Tufan soldiers, marching towards the city, in the queue, the flags were unfurled, the drums and trumpets sounded in unison, and the shouts were earth-shattering. It seems that there are about 30,000 people in this front team alone.

The Tufan army marched to the bottom of Quyang City more than 200 zhang away before stopping, and rode out of the array a general dressed in black iron rattan armor, wearing a purple and blue battle robe, and carrying a meniscus long knife, which was the general of Tufan's Wanhu Dongzanlang.

General Dong Zanlang came to the city single-handedly and shouted: "Please General Wu Zheng come out and reply." ”

"Hurry up and invite General Wu Zheng over. Tianci gave an order to his opponent, and he replied to the city: "May I ask the general, why did you suddenly send troops to besiege the city? Don't you know that Deyong Khan has signed a non-aggression armistice agreement with me Dafeng?"

"General Wu Zheng trespassed on the battlefield of our army's Western Regions, and took away Yuwen Haotian, the general of the Western Regions who fought against our army, and also cooperated with the king of Zhenxi to use a trick to surrender to our army, causing our army to lose a 10,000-household General Dadan Zhenta and thousands of officers and soldiers, this is the first time you broke the armistice agreement. General Dong Sanlang replied.

"I am Zhang Tianci, the local commander-in-chief, who was assigned by the imperial court to maintain the border of the Western Regions, and the imperial court never ordered us to confront the Tufan army, nor did we ever let our army participate in the war in the Western Regions. I heard what the general said just now, there may be some misunderstandings, but when General Wu Zheng arrives, he will naturally explain it to you clearly. ”

"Hugh is verbose, within half an hour, Wu Zheng'er is not enough, our army will launch an attack, set foot on this city, and there will be no tiles. General Dong Zanlang said proudly.

After a while, Wu Zheng took several guards to the city tower. Zhang Tianci simply reported the situation to him. Wu Zheng shouted to General Dong Zanlang in the city: "General Zanlang, please calm your anger, Wu is here, I don't know what the general is looking for me, and why do you have to make such a big move." ”

"Villain Wu Zheng, the purpose of my coming here is for you. You have deceived my lord with clever words, saying that you can persuade the king of Zhenxi to surrender. As a result, the king of Zhenxi surrendered by fraud, causing our army to lose troops and generals, and you also took away the important criminal Yuwen Haotian that our army has always wanted to take, and today I sent troops to ask you for justice. ”

"General, listen to me, I went to persuade the king of Zhenxi to surrender, and he himself agreed, at that time, didn't the king of Zhenxi personally go out of the city to surrender, and I don't know why he suddenly changed his mind later. Wu Zheng pretended to look aggrieved.

"Bah, you can deceive others, don't try to deceive me, you didn't persuade the king of Zhenxi at all, but lied to him that Deyong Khan promised to let him go back to the Central Plains, and he was willing to go out of the city with you, and our army has found a forged secret document that the king of Zhenxi lost at the scene. What else do you have to say?"

Wu Zheng saw that the strategy was seen through by Tufan, and he was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.

Tianci heard it clearly on the side, and he understood the reason for this at once. He said to the city: "Your Excellency, there may be some misunderstanding here, if you have any requests, just put them forward, and we will do our best to meet them." If you insist on meeting each other at this time, it will not only violate the agreement signed between our two countries and give people the pretext that you are the first to break the armistice agreement, but once the war starts, it will also be very unfavorable to your war in the Western Regions. ”

The purpose of General Dongzanlang's visit was not to start a war, but to coerce the Central Plains to hand over Yuwen Haotian. He saw that Zhang Tianci's words were reasonable, so he had no choice but to get off the donkey down the slope and said to the city: "Unless you immediately hand over our side to commit Yuwen Haotian and the treacherous villain Wu Zheng, our army can immediately withdraw its troops, otherwise, you will bear the consequences." ”

Wu Zheng was furious when he heard this, and was about to attack, Zhang Tianci immediately stepped forward to stop him, and said to the city: "This matter is very important, and let us discuss it and give an answer." ”

"Well, give you two hours, and I'll hear back here. General Dong Sanro agreed.
