After several days of fighting, the city gates of Wenxi County were covered with knife marks, and the blood stains all told that the city had gone through various cruel struggles.

However, today, this long-defended city opened the door that has protected it countless times.

Thousands of soldiers of the Pei family army marched quietly into the city. Wang Daozhi's soldiers in front were clearing the way, leading the Pei family army to different barracks.

The soldiers who were originally sitting on the ground in the camp were captured by the Pei army who rushed into the camp while they were sleeping. Sporadic sounds of fighting could be heard from time to time, but they quickly disappeared into the night.

Wang Daozhi personally appeared at the city gate to welcome the arrival of the Pei family army.

At the gate of the city, Pei Decai solemnly introduced Pei Xiaoer to Wang Daozhi, "Brother Wang, this is General Pei. Come and meet General Pei."

"I've met General Pei." Wang Daozhi looked uneasy. He knelt down on one knee and saluted Pei Xiaoer. It depends on whether he will be promoted and make a fortune or be hidden in the snow.

But it was obvious that he was not wrong in his bet. Pei Xiaoer helped him up with a smile, patted the dirt on his body thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "Wang Jingjun, there is no need to be polite. From today on, you and I are brothers. From now on, I will

You will know that the most important thing is credibility, don't look at these frivolous gifts."

"Yes, the villain knows." Wang Daozhi didn't hear what he wanted to hear most. He was worried about gains and losses, but he didn't dare to show it, so he could only look at Pei Decai beside him.

Pei Decai laughed, pointed at Wang Dao and said directly to Pei Xiaoer, "Xiaoer, what you said did not reach General Wang's heart! You haven't said what General Wang wants to hear the most."

Wang Daozhi lowered his head in shame, not daring to look at Pei Xiaoer's eyes.

Pei Xiaoer also smiled knowingly and said repeatedly: "General Wang, don't worry, if a meritorious official like you is not rewarded, how can I have the face to be the commander-in-chief of the Pei family army?" As he said this, his face condensed and became serious: "Wang Dao

Just listen to Feng."

Wang Daozhi hurriedly knelt on his knees and said in a very respectful manner: "The villain Wang Daozhi listens to the title."

Pei Xiaoer nodded, very satisfied with Wang Daozhi's respectful attitude, and said slowly.

"The king's direct dedication to the city has made him meritorious, and he was granted the title of a thousand households and commanded a battalion of men."

Wang Daozhi was overjoyed and kowtowed again, "Thank you, General"

Pei Xiaoer's Pei family troops here have already entered the city, but the master on the other side is still unaware of it. He is still urging Zhang Zhiguo to speed up the progress.

At this moment, Zhang Zhiguo was holding Si Dihu's head in one hand and holding a knife in the other. He looked fierce as he slowly put Si Dihu's head into the box.

The master pinched his nose, stepped back a little, frowned and said: "Okay, hurry up and send it to the officers and soldiers, tell them that our army is willing to surrender, and the head of the Sitting Tiger will be the surrender certificate.

In addition, please ask them to continue attacking Pei Xiaoer outside the city tomorrow. When the battle situation is tense, we will sneak attack Pei Xiaoer's camp from inside the city. By then, we will be able to defeat Pei Xiaoer by attacking from both front and back."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Zhang Zhiguo nodded, but hesitantly said, "What if the officers and soldiers want to enter the city?"

"No, the army must not be allowed to enter Wenxi County." Before Zhang Zhiguo could finish speaking, the master sternly stopped him.

"Okay, what if the officers and soldiers want us to attack Pei Xiaoer first?"

"This..." Master hesitated, and after a moment he said, "No way, just say that our army has suffered heavy losses and is no longer able to fight Pei Xiaoer alone. Once we take the initiative to attack and are attacked by Pei Xiaoer, there is a high probability that we will be attacked by Pei Xiaoer."

Xiaoer was defeated in one fell swoop. If Pei Xiaoer took advantage of the situation and invaded the city, it would miss important events for the officers and soldiers, so we could only cooperate with the officers and soldiers to make some feint attacks.

In short, you must try your best to let the officers and soldiers attack Pei Xiaoer first, do you understand?"

Zhang Zhiguo looked sad and said helplessly: "I'll give it a try."

The officers and soldiers are not fools. How can we win the trust of the officers and soldiers without allowing them to do this or that? It is really a fool's errand to expect the officers and soldiers to attack first.

The master himself may have felt that this task was too difficult, so he hesitated and said, "You can tell the officers and soldiers that we are willing to provide some food and grass to show our sincerity."

Zhang Zhiguo left the master's room and walked quickly along the long street towards the city gate.

He had only walked for a short time, but his steps were getting slower and slower. He noticed that something was wrong tonight. The guards patrolling the streets in the past were gone, and even the watchmen who were doing the watch were nowhere to be seen. He listened carefully, and he heard fighting in the distance from time to time.

the sound of.

Zhang Zhiguo stopped, frowned, ducked into a dark corner and disappeared.

Not long after, a group of people hurriedly walked out of another street and passed by Zhang Zhiguo's hiding place. They did not find Zhang Zhiguo in the dark and hurriedly disappeared into the distance.

After a long time, Zhang Zhiguo came out of the darkness with a frown on his face and murmured: "Who are these people? Why are they running around the city with such fanfare?".

Zhang Zhiguo smelled the breath of danger and had a premonition of an approaching war. This premonition made no sense and was purely a sixth sense gained from years of fighting. After thinking for a moment, Zhang Zhiguo decisively changed his direction and stopped looking outside the city.

Officers and soldiers, when such a big battle is approaching, it is safest to stay with the army.

I hurried to the military camp, only to find that the military camp was already in chaos.

Fires were everywhere, and killing sounds were everywhere. The soldiers under his command were like headless flies being hunted down by another group of Pei family troops who were more organized, better equipped, and more lethal.

As soon as Zhang Zhiguo's figure appeared, he was spotted by a group of officers and soldiers under his command. The soldiers seemed to have seen a savior, and they spontaneously gathered around Zhang Zhiguo.

As more and more people gathered, Zhang Zhiguo was finally noticed by Pei Jiajun.

Liu Changle waved his sword, pointed at Zhang Zhiguo and shouted: "Scatter those people and seize the leader."

As soon as his order was issued, hundreds of soldiers from the Pei family army immediately gathered together to kill Zhang Zhiguo.

Zhang Zhiguo was still asking the people around him about the specific situation when he saw hundreds of soldiers heading towards him. When he saw that there were only a hundred or so frightened soldiers around him, how could he hesitate for a moment?

He immediately threw a tantrum and ran away.

Seeing Zhang Zhiguo turning around and running away, Pei Jiajun naturally refused to agree.

"Stop him,"

"If you run again, shoot the arrow."

But at this moment, Zhang Zhiguo, who was bent on escaping, could not care about this? He just farted again later.

While running, Zhang Zhiguo suddenly felt alarmed. He lowered his head suddenly, and a flying arrow almost grazed his scalp and nailed straight to the ground in front of him, making him tremble uncontrollably.

Zhang Zhiguo broke out in a cold sweat. Looking back, he saw a man slowly lowering his long bow, standing proudly like a green pine in the snow.

When Zhang Zhiguo was frightened, he did not dare to move. The Pei family army who followed him rushed forward, tied Zhang Zhiguo up with five-flowered buns, and pressed him towards Liu Changle.

Liu Changle looked at the person in front of him and subconsciously felt that this person was not simple, so he asked: "Who are you?"
