Qiu Ji and Zhu Wen were ordered to come out, and they did not mention anything.

Tonight is full of stars, and the autumn moon is dark. Outside the city of Yizhou now, there are corpses piled up like mountains, and the city is small for it; blood flows all over the field, and Yishui is red for it.

Just a few miles outside the city, there are many camps, which are Wang Xianzhi's grass army. In the Chinese military tent, the lights were bright at the moment, and Wang Xianzhi was restless since he inquired about Song Wei's troops. Yizhou City has been fighting for several months, seeing that the food and grass in the city have been exhausted, and the arrows are running out, it is the time to break the city in one go, and it is necessary to break Yizhou City before the arrival of Song Wei's reinforcements.

Wang Xianzhi looked tired and asked, "Where is Song Wei now?"

Wu Juncai, who was on the side, also seemed to be ten years old, quite old, and replied: "Still wandering in the mountains." ”

Wang Xianzhi finally smiled and said: "Song Wei wants to follow Sun Bin's plan to 'encircle Wei and save Zhao', but he doesn't know that I can break Yizhou City only overnight, but it is difficult for him to break Yanzhou City!"

Wu Juncai said: "If that's the case, you shouldn't let General Huang send someone to support!"

Wang Xianzhi still smiled and said: "It's okay, as soon as General Huang's troops arrive, I will attack the city with all my might, once it is broken, we can drive straight into Song Wei's Qingzhou lair, and also give him a 'siege to save Yan'!"

At this moment, a soldier suddenly came in outside the tent: "Report to the general, General Yanzhou's reinforcements have arrived!"

Wang Xianzhi said happily: "Who is leading the troops?"

The soldier said, "It's General Qiu Ji!"

Wang Xianzhi was even more happy, he originally cherished Qiu Ji's talent very much, but now when he heard that he was bringing troops to help, he couldn't help himself: "Qiu Ji is here? Brother Huang is righteous enough, welcome him in!"

As soon as the words fell, I suddenly heard the neighing of war horses outside the tent, and the sound of Jin Ge bursting out, and there was chaos in the camp for a while.

Wang Xianzhi hurriedly came out of the big tent and saw a group of men and horses rushing towards him. There are tens of thousands of people in this army, all of whom are wearing grass army armor and carrying the banner of the grass army. The first to ride, no armor, an old robe, thick eyebrows and big eyes, square face and wide forehead, but in his twenties, quite a bit of Qiu Ji's appearance. This person went straight into the sword, and with a knife he knocked down the handsome banner standing outside the big tent of the Chinese army, and as soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was like a bell, and he shouted: "Those who have won the first rank of Wang Xianzhi will be promoted to three levels, and the silver reward will be a thousand taels!"

As soon as the banner of this handsome character fell, the Chinese army was in chaos for a while, Wang Xianzhi didn't recognize this person, and exclaimed: "Who trespassed on the Chinese army!"

The person who was the leader heard the sound and saw that Wang Xianzhi looked dignified, and he had a distinct armor on his body, he must be the commander of the grass army, and he smiled at the moment: "I am Cao Cunshi, the general of the Pinglu army, and I have been ordered by the Song Dynasty to take your head!"

It turned out that Song Wei secretly drew troops from Culai Mountain to aid Yizhou City, disguised 30,000 people as grass army, and deceived into the grass army at night. Although this plan to pretend to be an enemy is used for surprise attacks, it is also a lone army to go deep, and it is very dangerous in the end. This Cao Cunshi is Cao Quanyang's nephew, who has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and has achieved quite a lot, and later came to Song Wei's account, and has repeatedly made military exploits, and he is really the champion of the three armies. Cao Cunshi was quite courageous and ambitious, so he asked Ying to take on this important responsibility.

Cao Cunshi decided that the person in front of him was Wang Xianzhi, so he first raised his sword and slashed at him. Wang Xianzhi once studied under Yang Banhu, the old gang leader of the Salt Gang, and also practiced some martial arts, so he drew his sword and fought with him at the moment.

Cao Cunshi relied on the high sword of the horse, and he was even less strong, and a seven-foot Mo knife forced Wang Xianzhi to retreat again and again, and the danger was full of dangers.

Wang Xianzhi was frightened by these dozens of catties of Mo knife, and unconsciously the swordsmanship was chaotic, and he was forced to a dead end by Cao Cunshi in a short time, Wang Xianzhi sighed in his heart, "The sky is going to kill me, I regret that I shouldn't let Jiang Kai go to Taihu Lake!"

Cao Cunshi saw that he had succeeded, and said happily: "The king thief is here!"

At this moment, a person suddenly burst out and shouted: "Don't be alarmed, general, the future will be!"

The person who came was dressed in silver armor and white robes, chasing the wind and horses under his crotch, it was Xiao Shang Shuai Shang Rang. He first picked up the handsome flag with one hand, held it high above the top, and stopped Cao Cunshi with a sword in the other. Shang Rang's martial arts are superb and extremely brave, and he is not afraid of fighting Cao Cunshi with one hand at this time.

Cao Cunshi couldn't get past Shang Rang to chase down Wang Xianzhi several times in a row, and said angrily: "Who are you!"

Shang Rang said proudly: "I am Shang Rang, the younger brother of Shang Junchang!"

When Cao Cunshi heard this, he was surprised in his heart, and said in his heart, "It is rumored that the Shang brothers are one article and one martial arts, and they will not let the people of the times, which shows that the rumors are true." Cao Cunshi thought that he was not sure of defeating Shang Rang, so he smiled and said: "The king thief has been defeated and has no return, why don't you give up the secret and surrender to the Ming and return to my Pinglu army, Cao Mou will ensure that you do not lose your position as a captain, how about it?"

Shang Rang was furious when he heard this, and scolded: "You can't wait for the imperial eagle dog, my grass army will be destroyed sooner or later!"

Cao Cunshi was furious when he saw that Shang Rang was so ignorant, and the two were fighting again, and it was difficult to distinguish between them.

Wang Xianzhi had to stop Cao Cunshi and fled in a hurry. In the middle of the line, there is one person, it is Cao Shixiong, the ticket commander.

Cao Shixiong hurriedly said: "The general left quickly, and the officers and soldiers in Yizhou City rushed out, and the leader was Zeng Yuanyu!"

When Wang Xianzhi heard the words "Zeng Yuanyu," where did he still not understand? Wang Xianzhi said angrily: "Song Wei is an old thief!

This Zeng Yuanyu is the "deputy envoy of the Zhudao camp", but now he rushed out of Yizhou City, which is naturally Song Wei's foresight. It turned out that Song Wei had already expected that Wang Xianzhi would attack Yizhou, so before Wang Xianzhi attacked Yizhou, he ordered Zeng Yuanyu to lead the imperial 3,000 forbidden troops, 500 armor cavalry and 10,000 Pinglu troops into Yizhou City. Yizhou City has added so many elite soldiers and fierce generals, which makes Wang Xianzhi unable to attack for several months.

Song Wei deliberately stationed troops to wander around the mountains, and dragged Huang Chao with the strategy of "reducing the number of troops in the stove", so that he did not dare to move lightly, and then used a trick of "Li Dai Tao Stiff" to pretend to be the reinforcements of the 30,000 Ping Lu army, and directly entered Wang Xianzhi's Chinese army tent, and Zeng Yuanyu attacked inside and outside, which broke the grass army.

When Wang Xianzhi fled in a hurry, he suddenly heard a person behind him shouting: "Where is the king thief, eat this general with an arrow!"

The person who shouted was Zeng Yuanyu, the deputy envoy who rushed out of Yizhou City, only to see that his words fell to the arrow, and an arrow hit Wang Xianzhi's shoulder socket. Wang Xianzhi fell off the horse, but fortunately, Cao Shixiong on the side caught it. Cao Shixiong sent someone to escort Wang Xianzhi first, while he stayed behind to resist Zeng Yuanyu's pursuit.

Wang Xianzhi fled for another distance, ruthlessly pulled out the shaft of the arrow, and stopped the bleeding. It's just that it's dark everywhere, and where there is firelight, they all seem to be chasing soldiers, and behind them are the shouts of "capture Wang Xianzhi alive". Wang Xianzhi was in a panic, and suddenly a person came with troops, it was the military advisor Wu Juncai. It turned out that Wu Juncai saw that the official army pretended to be a grass army and invaded Dazhai, so he went to the rear army first to save Wang Xianzhi.

Wu Juncai saw that Wang Xianzhi was wounded by an arrow, and said: "General, quickly take off the commander's armor, change into ordinary clothes and armor, and then order a dead soldier to pretend to be a general to lead the enemy to chase after him, so as to escape." Wu Juncai is now learning and selling, and he also used a "Li Dai Taozhuang" strategy.

Wang Xianzhi acted according to the plan, and sure enough, he led away all the way. Wang Xianzhi collected the remnants of his army while fleeing, and retreated in the direction of Yanzhou. In this battle, the officers and troops attacked inside and outside, and the grass army was scattered, and the night was dim, and it was difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me, and the grass army was injured to death by mistake, trampled on each other, and fell into the Yishui six or seven out of ten.

Wang Xianzhi encountered such a big defeat for the first time in his life, 100,000 grass troops, but now there are only 10,000 or 20,000 left.

After a long time, Wang Xianzhi asked again, "Where is the monarch now?"

Wu Juncai shook his head and said, "I don't know, I guess it's still in the Sizhou area?"

Wang Xianzhi suddenly sighed: "If Jiang Kai is here, he will never make me so embarrassed!"

Wu Juncai offered another plan: "General, it is better to abandon the wealth and silk armor, and you can slow down the pursuit of the soldiers." ”

Wang Xianzhi hurriedly ordered so, and the officials and soldiers really stopped chasing after him.

Zeng Yuanyu saw that he was going to win a big victory, and suddenly saw that all the generals and soldiers were going to collect money, and he did not chase them, he beheaded several people in a row, and said angrily: "Such a good opportunity to destroy thieves, why don't you chase it?"

At this moment, Song Wei rushed over and said with a smile: "Brother Zeng, don't worry, don't you listen to the words 'rabbits die and dogs cook, and birds hide their bows'? Rather than destroying the thief, it is better to keep the thief, and unfortunately the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, and you and I will be the heroes. ”

When Zeng Yuanyu heard this, he suddenly opened his mouth and thanked: "Thank you Song Gong Jinyu for your words, the last general should be taught for life." ”

Song Wei and Zeng Yuanyu were talking about their hearts and minds, and suddenly there was a report from the Malays: "Report! Shang Jun has been rushing to Qingzhou!"

Song Wei exclaimed: "I underestimated Shang Junchang, hurry back to the teacher!"

So, Song Wei went to the table and lied that Wang Xianzhi died in the chaos, and the Pinglu army returned to Qingzhou overnight, and the grass army was no longer damaged.

Besides, Qiu Ji marched all the way, and when he arrived at the foot of the calf mountain in Yizhou, he suddenly saw an army blocking the road in front of him. The men and horses were all dressed as officers and soldiers, and they had already set up camp according to the mountain, gathered their antlers, and blocked the way. The person who is the leader, full of armor, tiger and tiger, is none other than Cao Quanyang, the assassin of Zizhou.

Cao Quanyang saw that the person who came was Qiu Ji, and secretly praised Song Wei's words, so he pointed behind him and said, "Qiu Ji, who do you think this is?"

Qiu Ji looked at it when he heard this, and saw that behind the officers and soldiers, there was a building about three zhang high, and on the platform, there was a woman tied to it, who was it not Huang Zhen? Under that platform, there were 100 archers lined up on each side of the east, west, south, and north, and at this moment, they were holding arrows with their bows and arrows, and they were gathering momentum.

Cao Quanyang smiled and said: "Qiu Ji, if you want Huang Zhen to live, you must retreat, otherwise Ben will give an order and tell her ten thousand arrows to pierce her heart!"

Qiu Ji was concerned about Huang Zhen's safety, and had already left Huang Chao's advice out of the clouds, pretending to be indifferent at the moment, and said with a smile: "Cao Jianshi is a famous general in the world, how can he do such a despicable and shameless thing?"

Cao Quanxi was provoked by Qiu Ji's words, his old face was dark red, and he was quite embarrassed, but after all, he had the city government in his chest, and knew that this was Qiu Ji's method of agitating generals, so he forced himself to say: "The ancients said, 'soldiers are not tired of deceit', this is the clever plan of the Song Dynasty, how can it be said to be despicable and shameless? ”

Qiu Ji still smiled: "There is no owner in the world, only the virtuous live in it." Li Tang lost his morality first, and lost the hearts of the people last......"

Without waiting for Qiu Ji to finish speaking, Cao Quanyang said impatiently: "Qiu Ji, don't chew your tongue here, you will only count three times, if you don't retreat, Huang Zhen will die!"

Qiu Ji said: "If you want me to withdraw from the army, you can release Miss Huang first." ”

Cao Quanyang said: "Do you treat me as a child, if I let her go, who can stop you?"

Qiu Ji frowned slightly, and said: "In this case, Qiu Mou will retreat!"

Cao Quanxi was overjoyed when he heard this, he saw that Qiu Ji agreed to withdraw from the army, and once again secretly praised Song Wei's divine calculation, and said: "Count your kid who knows current affairs." ”

Leng Lie persuaded on the side: "Helmsman, if you withdraw from the army, but you violate the military order, you will not be spared when the time comes!"

Qiu Ji said: "I have my own plans, don't say much." At that moment, despite Leng Li's dissuasion, he ordered the troops to retreat.

From Baoqi Mountain to Yizhou City, only this avenue can be walked, and it is even more difficult for Qiu Ji to change the road, not to mention how can he not save Huang Zhen? Qiu Ji restrained the soldiers and horses at the moment, retreated backwards for a mile, and then made plans.

After Qiu Ji retired from the army, he called the four brothers of the Shan family to him and said: "I want to save Miss Huang at night, and I need a few more helpers!"

Shan Xing stroked his long hair and said generously: "Miss Huang is the daughter of Huang Gong and a friend of Wei Qimu, so we should do our best." ”

After Qiu Ji discussed with the brothers of the Shan family about saving people, he summoned Leng Lie and ordered him to act according to orders, so he only had to do so.

Cao Quanxi only waited for Yizhou to report success in the village, and then he could return to the teacher, and suddenly there was a report from Malay: "Master Assassin Shi! Qiu Ji...... He led people to rob the village!"

Cao Quanyan was furious when he heard this, and said: "What a Qiu Ji, it doesn't matter if your sweetheart lives or dies!"

Cao Quanxi ordered the generals to defend the camp on the one hand, and shot Huang Zhen to death on the other.
