Cheng Guang and Zhao Jian were waiting outside the palace. When they heard that King Zhenxi had tied up King Yuwen, they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot and wanted to go to the king and beg him to let him go.

When the two of them were very anxious, King Zhenxi sent them to the palace.

After seeing the two men, King Zhenxi said: "I have captured Yuwen Haotian, King of Zhenbei. If this traitor is handed over to the court, it will be a great achievement. Maybe the court will not send troops to attack again."

The Western Region, what do you two think?"

"Well, this..." General Cheng Guang hesitated.

Zhao Jian took a step forward and said, "The villain dares to speak out. There are several drawbacks to the king's move."

"tell me the story."

"First, now that the Northern Territory has been pacified, Yuwen Haotian is no longer important to the court. I am afraid that we will not give up sending troops to the west just because we captured King Yuwen. Second, King Yuwen and the Western Territory were jointly opposed to the imperial court. Now

If you come to seek refuge with the king, you will be captured by the king and handed over to the imperial court. People in the world will regard the king as a fickle and dishonest person. The third and most important problem is that King Yuwen currently has more than 20,000 elite soldiers stationed in Tongyuan City.

Once it is known that the king has captured King Yuwen, Tongyuan City will be lost immediately, and then Xiamaguan City will be besieged. By then, both sides will suffer losses, and the court will be able to sit back and enjoy the gains, and the fisherman will gain."

After hearing this, the King of Zhenxi thought for a moment and said: "There is some truth in this. It's just that I have different political views from him, let alone cooperate with him. I rebelled against the imperial court just to depose the current emperor and establish a new emperor. He Yuwen

Haotian is a country thief who colludes with the Northern Barbarians and wants to take over my Wu family. How can we collude with each other?!"

"No, Your Majesty, the reason for King Yuwen's rebellion was not as rumored. He was indeed framed by others and was wrongfully killed by the court. He started the rebellion to avenge blood and hatred." Zhao Jian told him from the General Soldier of Chu.

The situation was explained to King Zhenxi in detail.

After listening to Zhao Jian's story, the King of Zhenxi pondered for a while, then waved for Zhao Jian to come forward and whispered to him: "When we took that Yuwen Haotian, he once said that he would hand over his army to me and let me dispatch it.

I don’t know if it’s a joke or not. In this way, you can choose a time to go to the prison privately to meet King Yuwen and explore his true intentions.”

After receiving the order, Zhao Jian immediately came to the prison to visit Yuwen Haotian.

Zhao Jian came to the prison alone and saw Yuwen Haotian with his hair disheveled and iron chains on his hands and feet. He was sitting on the ground with his back to the prison door, sitting with his eyes closed to meditate.

He asked the prison guards to open the cell door, went in and visited Queen Yuwen, and then asked the prison guards to remove all the handcuffs, shackles, and shackles of King Yuwen.

"My incompetence has caused Lord Yuwen to suffer. Please bear with me, and give me some time. I will persuade King Zhenxi to let Lord Yuwen go." Zhao Jian said to King Yuwen very apologetically.

"Ha, ha, ha..." King Yuwen laughed when he heard this, "You don't need to take this good brother to heart. Within five days, King Zhenxi will definitely treat me like a distinguished guest."

"Oh? How do you say this?" Zhao Jian was puzzled for a moment.

"This is something to talk about later. You will know it when the time comes." King Yuwen said, changing the subject: "Currently, King Zhenxi has detained me here without warning. I am really worried that my soldiers will do it because I did not return in time.

, and to attack General Chu, I am afraid that General Chu will not be able to explain for a while, and the two sides will get into trouble again, which would be bad."

At this time, Zhao Jian thought of Miss Mu Yang's words and thought that Lord Yuwen had indeed already had a chance of winning. It seems that we don't have to worry about him anymore. Then he heard King Yuwen talk about the Tongyuan garrison, and his heart moved.

It was the important matter that King Zhenxi sent him to inquire about.

"Then how should we deal with it?" Zhao Jian asked quickly.

King Yuwen did not answer, but reached out and took out a jade bi from his neck, handed it to Zhao Jian, and said: "This jade is my king's talisman for mobilizing troops. He sees things as he sees people, and orders and prohibitions must not be mistaken."

. Now you take this and return to Tongyuan City quickly to show it to the generals. You and the General Soldier of Chu will command and dispatch all our officers and soldiers, and make timely arrangements for city defense. The imperial army will arrive soon.

That’s it.”

Zhao Jian took the jade with both hands and saw that the jade was as warm as grease and as clear as a mirror. The two brocades on it were about to come out. It was like a peerless jade. After looking at it, he carefully put it away and put it in his arms.

King Yuwen also told him in detail how to arrange troops in Tongyuan City, how to strengthen defense, etc. He also introduced to him the characteristics and strengths of his generals, etc., so that Zhao Jian must keep it in mind so that he can

Take advantage of the situation and deploy troops and generals.

After bidding farewell to King Yuwen and coming out of prison, Zhao Jian went straight to the palace, reported the situation to King Zhenxi, and showed him the troop deployment talisman given by King Yuwen. After hearing this, King Zhenxi was a little surprised and thought to himself

Is this King Yuwen really here to help me resist the imperial invasion? He immediately said to Zhao Jian: "Then you and General Cheng Guang will take this talisman and return to Tongyuan City immediately tomorrow to verify the authenticity of this matter."

The next day, after Zhao Jian and Cheng Guang returned to Tongyuan City, they immediately rushed to the General Military Mansion to report the situation to Mr. Chu.

Chu Weixian was on pins and needles at this time, impatient. First, he had heard that the imperial army was on its way to conquer the west. Second, there was no news from King Yuwen for three days after he left. He didn't know what the outcome of the meeting and negotiation with King Zhenxi would be.

After Zhao Jian saw the Chu general, he told him the story of the meeting between King Yuwen and King Zhenxi. When Chu Wei first heard that King Hui Zhenxi had taken King Yuwen into prison, he shouted: "It's broken, it's broken."

, what should we do?"

"I have received reports that the imperial army has set out to conquer the west. It will arrive in the near future. When the soldiers are pressing down on the border, there is also civil strife. Tongyuan City is in danger." Chu Weixian shook his head and said.

"Chu General Soldier must not be anxious. Although King Yuwen was captured by King Zhenxi, he seemed to have no complaints. Instead, he was willing to hand over his troops for our deployment to resist the imperial attack." Zhao Jian said.

"Is this true?"

"Yesterday, King Yuwen personally handed over his troop deployment talisman to me in prison, and personally taught me the essentials of defending the city. It seems to be no joke. But King Zhenxi can't believe it, even if I wait to come back and try it for real

Fake." After saying this, Zhao Jian took out a piece of jade from his arms and showed it to the Chu general.

Chu Weixian was inspecting the jade in his hand. At this time, a messenger came in and announced: "The front-line scouting horses have been verified. General Huang Zhipeng led an army of 150,000. The King of Qi sent General Wu Chao to lead an army of 50,000. King Zhennan

We have sent Peng Dayuan, the commander-in-chief, to lead an army of 30,000 troops, divided into three groups and coming to the Western Region. Currently, the three groups of troops have joined forces in Quyang County, with a total of 230,000 troops and horses, and will arrive at Tongyuan City within three days."

It turned out that after capturing Gulu Pass, Huang Zhipeng, the hussar general who had been campaigning in the north for many years, was actually overtaken by the auxiliary general Dingchao. He was unwilling to accept it and immediately proposed to lead his troops to the west to attack King Zhenxi.

General Fang also wanted to repay Master Huang's favor. Besides, he suffered a big loss in the last Western Expedition, and he still had lingering fears and did not dare to rush there again. Therefore, he agreed with General Huang to lead the army to the Western Expedition. Therefore, General Huang continued

The Northern Territory brought out 150,000 soldiers and horses, and set out for the Western Territory in a mighty manner.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the journey, he learned that King Yuwen had also defected to the Western Regions. He was both happy and worried for a while. The happy thing was that he could take the opportunity to kill the two thieves in one fell swoop.

After dealing with him for more than ten years, he hated and feared King Yuwen and never dared to underestimate him.

For the sake of safety, he immediately asked Qi King Huang Jian and Zhennan King Qin Yifei for help, hoping that they would jointly send troops to attack the Western Regions. If they captured the two thieves, everyone would share the credit. He thought that with such a good thing, the two kings would enjoy the success.

Troops were sent to assist in the battle. So after the three armies gathered in Quyang County, they marched toward the Western Regions in a mighty manner.
