Xie Tong and others understand that the so-called reward of soldiers is nothing more than a disguise, the fall of Huangchao is imminent, there is no possibility of a comeback, and anyone, as long as they are not fools, want to attribute the first credit for capturing Huangchao to their names.

Huang Chao and the others shrank in Luoyang City, fighting the trapped beasts. Surprisingly, Zhu Wen did not give the order to attack Luoyang, but followed the previous strategy, besieging but not attacking.

This siege without attacking was very interesting, he actually let go of the opening in the east, and let Huang Chao's subordinates continue to transport grain and grass supplies into the city, and Zhu Wen did not assign any party to be stationed in the east of the city, as if he did not see it.

The whole army was consumed like this.

Xie Tong understood that he was waiting for Song Wenyuan.

On this day, Xie Tong was inspecting the border defense of the position, and the scout suddenly came to report that a large number of cavalry, at least 20,000 people, had appeared in the direction of Yanjing, and they were galloping towards this side.

Xie Tong was taken aback, could it be that Huang Chao's reinforcements had arrived. But Huang Chao has never skipped Yanjing, where could there be so many people.

His soldiers were mainly infantry, and it was difficult to resist a cavalry charge.

Upon hearing of the arrival of the army, he immediately ordered the whole army to enter the battle state and personally came to the front of the battle to inspect it.

Xie Tong rushed to the front of the battle, observing this unknown force from a distance, after a series of battles, there are not many soldiers loyal to him, there are less than 20,000 people, he always has to watch out for Zhu Wen's black hand, if he is attacked by the enemy, he will not even have the slightest way to live.

He raised his eyes and saw that the dust was flying, startling a sea of sand, and there were definitely more than 20,000 people and horses coming, however, Xie Tong was overjoyed, and when he clearly saw the cavalry's outfit and banner, he couldn't help but turn over and run over.

Lao Lai was also overjoyed, the person who came was none other than Shi Jingjiao and Murong Longcheng.

Xie Tong drove forward, quickly feeling the depth of the two, and there was an indescribable taste in his heart.

It was strange why they had come here, and several of them turned over and dismounted almost at the same time, and several large hands were clasped tightly together.

Xie Tong said happily, "How did you come here! Ha, looking at your dusty appearance, you must have run a long way." ”

Shi Jingjiao suddenly showed a sad look, and said, "The nightingale girl sent someone to send us a letter, informing us of what happened in Middle-earth one by one, hey, Jia Ning's death was too miserable, I discussed with Brother Murong, and then gathered the army and went all the way south from Mobei." This time, I want to avenge my sister!"

Xie Tong was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the murder of Li Zheng and Shi Jianing, this matter was too far away, and he said bitterly, "Princess Jianing, I apologize to the little khan, it was I who did not protect her well, so that I was killed by the traitor, but the little khan rest assured, except for Song Wenyuan, the rest of the people were all eliminated by me." ”

Shi Jingjiao said angrily, "Song Wenyuan, Lao Tzu told you not to die well! What are you doing in a daze, now we will send troops to Chengdu." ”

Seeing this, Lao Lai said, "You have come from afar, and it is not too late for this moment, so let's go to our army's camp first! The matter is far from being as simple as you think." ”

Shi Jingjiao and Murong Longcheng glanced at each other, and followed Xie Tong and the others into the camp.

Lao Lai explained the situation roughly, and Murong Longcheng was puzzled and even more confused, like Xie Tong and the others, he couldn't find any signs of Zhu Wen's changes.

Only Shi Jingjiao, he took a sip of wine gently, and said faintly, "Maybe I can understand Senior Zhu's thoughts." ”

All eyes were on him, waiting to hear his opinion.

Shi Jingjiao said, "When he was originally in Jiangnan, Huang Chao sent people to the Western Regions and Mobei in order to fight against the Tang Empire, discussed a joint crusade against Tang Xizong, and made a promise, therefore, the Western Regions and Mobei and other countries have sent people to help Huang Chao, this time he can make a comeback from Guangzhou, and he uses this routine, without the help of Tubo and other countries, he will not make a comeback." The impression of Senior Zhu, although stern and fierce, is a fierce character, but he has his own heart, has unique opinions, not only in the march and fighting, but also has his own views on major events in the world, the same as Brother Xie, this may be caused by the Huang Tianpai's mental method, however, Senior Zhu and Brother Xie are different, Xie Tong is open-minded by nature, focusing on the teacher, Senior Zhu, but open-minded on the outside, selfish in the heart, he and Brother Xie are of the same ancestry, maybe since the day he stepped into the rivers and lakes, he thinks differently from Brother Xie. ”

Hong Shan said, "I understand what the little Khan means, but their master and nephew are the same sect, and their concepts are also the same. ”

Shi Jingjiao said slightly, "Mrs. Sister-in-law doesn't understand, Brother Xie is the most important thing in the world, his purpose is to save the people of the poor family, but Senior Zhu is more than he thinks, it is a desire for power, this desire has also been in me, but it was resolved by Xie Tong, and Senior Zhu's desire is very deep and will be hidden."

Lao Lai suddenly realized and said, "What does the little khan mean, is he determined to be the emperor?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was taken aback, obviously not believing Lao Lai's words.

Xie Tong suddenly said, "This matter may be true, if he is not aiming to be the emperor, how can he betray Huang Chao, because no matter who is the king and hegemon, it will lead to the destruction of the valve, and a new situation will be ushered in, and he, who is still struggling to protect Song Wenyuan, just wants to use the last bit of power of the valve, the only remaining faith, to help him become the emperor, which is why he wants to weaken me and abandon me, because he knows that I will resolutely oppose him." The Yellow Heaven Sect does not allow anyone to betray the master, and he is the first in hundreds of years. ”

The crowd was silent.

After a long time, Lao Lai sighed and said, "It's just that we know too late, and now we still have the strength to deal with him and curb his expanding ambitions." ”

Shi Jingjiao said, "Brother Xie, as long as you give an order, the alliance in Mobei will support you and help you deal with Zhu Wen, and he will definitely not let him succeed." ”

Xie Tong shook his head and said, "Let him go!" Once the various tribes in Mobei join the war, when will the Central Plains be unified, and the tribes on the grassland and the countries in the Western Regions will all join in. ”

That kind of tragedy is something that no one wants to see.

Murong Longcheng said, "Brother Xie, what do you think, just say it!"

Xie Tong said, "Although Uncle Shi betrayed his master, he is the only hope for Middle Earth, if he dies, Middle Earth will be divided again, and the invasion of the grassland tribes will be very terrible, hey, let him fend for himself! We just seek revenge from Song Wenyuan, Huang Chao and Meng Kai, as long as we take revenge, we will return to Mobei and never ask about the Central Plains again." ”

Murong Longcheng said, "This is easy, you and I are in one place, won't it be over if we kill them directly?"

Lao Lai said, "For the time being, we don't need more than two, we have drawn up a plan to take revenge on Huang Chao and Meng Kai first, and you should be treated as a surprise soldier to deal with the special situation!"

Shi Jingjiao smiled mysteriously and said, "I understand what Brother Lai means, ha, Senior Zhu is indeed a respectable opponent, and this duel is worth looking forward to." ”

Nightingale said, "Ha, several heroes on the famous grassland have gathered again, this time to see if you can defeat Zhu Wen, the demon king of the mixed world."

Xie Tong said, "Brother Murong, Brother Jingjiao, you guys go into hiding first, don't let Zhu Wen know for the time being, in a few days, Song Wenyuan will come from Sichuan and Shu, and when the war is over, we will take him under the knife." ”

After seven or eight days in a row, Song Wenyuan's troops drove from the pass.

Song Wenyuan brought a large number of materials on this trip, in addition to grain and grass, 1,000 pigs, horses, cattle and sheep each, and the whole brigade looked over, like a tribute soldier.

For Song Wenyuan's arrival, Zhu Wen used a very high-standard courtesy and greeted him ten miles in advance.

A rather grand dinner was arranged, and the only thing that was inappropriate was that the dinner was actually held in the camp, not in Luoyang City.

Xie Tong and others were forced to attend the dinner in desperation.

Zhu Wen laughed and said, "General Song, this time I came, the journey was hard."

Song Wenyuan said, "It is Wenyuan's honor to be able to give Hou Ye an army, and Wenyuan respects the generals." ”

The two of them sang and harmonized, which made Xie Tong quite unhappy.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhu Wen said, "Regarding the proposed marriage, please forgive Wen Yuan, although Cai Wei is my land, but I also have to respect her opinion, Cai Wei has told me that after the unification, the wedding will be held in Luoyang."

Song Wenyuan glanced at Xie Tong meaningfully, and said, "Thank you, Master Hou!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone smelled the smell of conspiracy, and it was also the first time they felt the discord between Zhu Wen and Xie Tong.

The next day, the army began to attack Luoyang. Xie Tong's troops did not arrange a siege this time, and were ordered to cut off the connection between inside and outside the city and attack Huang Chao's stronghold in the east of Luoyang City.

This is the only stronghold of Huang Chao outside the city, and it is the life path of Huang Chao.

Xie Tong attacked this stronghold, and he was also under very great pressure, and Huang Chao gave an order to defend this stronghold desperately.

After Xie Tong led his troops to fight for a day, he returned in vain, and the entire stronghold was almost full of corpses, and Huang Chao continued to transfer men and horses from the city to support this point and ensure that it was not lost.

In the other two directions of Luoyang City, the siege battle was in full swing, and the two sides spent a lot of men and horses, and the corpses under the city were piled up to a foot high, like hell.

Xie Tong attacked fiercely for six days, and the men and horses he brought with him never took this stronghold.

During this period, Zhu Wen urged him many times, which made him very unhappy.

By the evening of the sixth day, Xie Tong's remnants could no longer fight, so he had no choice but to retreat to the woodland on the side to rest.

Suddenly, there was a great crowd in front of them, and there seemed to be a group of people rushing towards their hidden woodland.

Xie Tong received the secret report, and knew that something was wrong, maybe Luoyang City was about to be broken, and Huang Chao might retreat from him, this was a vicious battle without warning.

At this moment, Huang Chao's herald also came to his assembly place and said, "Master Hou has an order, General Xie must hold this place, wait for reinforcements from both sides, and don't let Huang Chao flee east."

Xie Tong almost scolded Zhu Wen thousands of times in his heart, and it was quite difficult for him to block the enemy's retreat.

Before the words fell, the Qi army had already entered the woodland and began to flee outside.

Xie Tong gritted his teeth, he stood up suddenly, he was not for Zhu Wen's order, but now it was a great opportunity to kill Meng Kai and capture Huang Chao.

He drank until he was brethren, and came with me.

Lao Lai got up and stopped him, and said, "Don't be reckless, brother Xian, although Huangchao is a rout, but the number of people is at least several times that of us, if we continue to block it like this, wouldn't it be in the hands of Zhu Wen to get rid of us with the hands of Huangchao." ”

Xie Tong was on the spot, Zhu Wen was too ruthless, every step of his military action, any order, was a plan against Xie Tong, and if he was not careful, Xie Tong would fall into his trap.

Thinking of this, Xie Tong forcibly suppressed his inner thoughts, and said, "Pass my order, let Huang Chao pass, wait for the enemy to pass halfway, and give me a stop and fight out." ”

All the soldiers were parked in the woodland, watching Huang Chao's rout retreat, Xie Tong calculated, when Huang Chao fled about 10,000 people, he suddenly shouted, "Brothers, kill out."

He rushed out first, wielding the Qingyu Sword in his hand, and rushed into the ground formation side by side with Lao Lai.

The surprise attack of this group of men and horses made the situation worse for the Qi army that had already fled, and the Qi army had no fighting spirit and fled in all directions, and only a small number of men and horses were resisting.

Xie Tong left no room for anything, and fiercely rushed to kill, directly scattering the Qi army.

He glanced at Lao Lai and decided to follow Huang Chao in pursuit.

The army immediately pursued along the route of Huangchao's retreat.

After chasing for a while, a jagged group of men and horses suddenly appeared not far ahead, scattered no more than 2,000 people, led by Datuk Venerable Meng Kai.

There is no doubt that Meng Kai is covering the retreat of Huang Chao, this former glorious Venerable, is standing in front of Xie Tong in embarrassment at the moment, just to cover the retreat of his master.

In Xie Tong's opinion, although Meng Kai is insidious and cunning, and his methods are cruel, compared to Zhu Wenlai, he is not a traitor seeking glory, which is still worthy of recognition.

In the face of the attack of the Tang army, the probability of his survival is extremely low.

Xie Tong drove the horse forward, looked down at Meng Kai's horse, his horse was already scarred and dilapidated, and he said faintly, "Venerable, have you ever thought about such a day." ”

Meng Kai said fearlessly, "Xie Tong, don't talk nonsense, just rush over if you are brave enough, the Venerable will never bow your head and admit defeat." ”

Xie Tong said, "To be honest, Xie Tong still admires His Holiness for his loyalty and courage at the moment. There is someone else who deserves your sacrifice for him. ”

Meng Kai said coldly, "Xie Tong, you don't cry in that cat and fake mercy, my life is here, if you have the ability, take it, where is the mother-in-law and mother-in-law, waiting for Zhu Wen's reinforcements?"

Xie Tong said, "Clean you up, don't you need to find General Zhu to make a move!" I am enough", after that, he waved his hand, and the Tang army swarmed up and surrounded Meng Kai's thousand defeated regiments.

Meng Kai looked around for a week and said, "Of course, Zhu Wen will definitely not attack me, he still has to save his strength to deal with you!"

With that, he laughed wildly, and the laughter seemed to come from hell, and it seeped into everyone's skin eeriely. (To be continued.) )
