Gao Kaidao is now like a bad wolf lurking in the grass. Although he is calm and composed, no one dares to underestimate him. Apart from anything else, Gao Kaidao has just gained power from Xue Shixiong and Dou Jiande in recent years. The 50,000 warriors fought by Xiongzhong and stationed in Dongping County are enough to make no one dare to set foot here easily.
Although Zhencheng is a bit remote, it also falls within the scope of Dongping County. Logically speaking, this is also the territory of Gaokaidao, and it is impossible for soldiers and horses from other forces to exist. But now on a plain to the southeast of Zhencheng, an army The well-equipped armored soldiers and horses are advancing towards the north, but unfortunately these soldiers and horses are not the soldiers and horses of Gao Kaidao. The leading general is none other than Li Jing, the general of Liang Wang Wanhe.
"Well," Li Jing led the troops and continued to advance, but he suddenly showed a look of surprise. He raised his head, looked forward, and swung his hand back. Immediately, the three thousand soldiers and horses behind him stopped and immediately spread out. Li Jing looked forward and saw billowing dust in front of him, and there was actually a group of people rushing towards this direction.
"General," seeing this scene, Lai Hong behind Li Jing was also a little anxious. They had no choice but to sneak into Dongping County this time. To get to Weizhou in the shortest time, they had to pass through Gao Within Kaidao's sphere of influence, the shortest way to go directly from Xuzhou to Zhencheng is already, but even so, we can't avoid encountering Kaidao's troops here.
"No need to worry," Li Jing calmly waved his hand and said: "According to the intelligence, Gao Kaidao himself is still in Dongping, and the main troops are also staying on the southwest front line of Dongping County to defend Dou Jiande. There shouldn't be too many troops here. I believe there should be The thousand soldiers and horses stationed in Zhencheng can be dealt with carefully. Wulang, you go to the rear and ask Liulang and Chen Leng to be careful."
"Here," Lai Hongying shouted, and immediately ran back on his horse. Lai Zheng was behind the rear army. Chen Leng, who was persuaded by Li Jing to surrender in Liyang, is now in the middle army position. As for Li Jing, he is He took a step forward on his horse and stared straight ahead, watching the more than 500 soldiers and horses in front of him slowly approaching.
The five hundred soldiers and horses stopped four to five hundred steps in front of Li Jing. The leader was also a general, but his figure was particularly thin. He held a long spear in his hand and looked proud. Li Jing looked at Li Jing. This person was Zhang Jinshu, Gao Kaidao's general. Although he was thin and small, he was the bravest general under Gao Kaidao. Because of his bravery in battle, he was highly used by Gao Kaidao, especially for him. He garrisoned troops in Zhen City.
Previously in the city, Zhang Jinshu heard reports from his scouts that a troop of soldiers and horses had been found in Zhencheng. Zhang Jinshu then led people to intercept them. Although the troop in front of him contained more than 3,000 people, it was Zhang Jinshu's command. He led many times the number of troops and horses, but Zhang Jinshu showed no fear and shouted with his head held high: "Who are you? How dare you invade Dongping County? Don't you know that this is King Yan's territory?"
When Ge Qian raised his army, he had already called himself the King of Yan, and Gao Kaidao had inherited Ge Qian's strength, so he also called himself the King of Yan. In the past few years, Gao Kaidao had led the Yan army to run rampant in Hebei. When the army arrived, even Dou Jiande and Xue Shixiong had to retreat, which also created a arrogant attitude among Gao Kaidao's men.
Seeing Zhang Jinshu's arrogant attitude, Li Jing was not annoyed. Instead, he frowned and thought about how to deal with it. It would definitely not work if he told the truth. Ge Qian died at the hands of Wan He back then. Gao Kaidao He had threatened to seek revenge on Wan He very early. If the other party knew that Wan He's troops were on his side, he would probably order an attack immediately, and attacking rashly was not the best idea. Li Jing, the leader of the Yan army who was good at fighting, had also heard of it. , if we are facing the enemy head-on, although we can win, it will be a miserable victory. If we fight head-on, we will not be able to win. It seems that we can only outwit them.
As soon as his eyes rolled, Li Jing immediately smiled and said to Zhang Jinshu in front of him with a smile: "General, we are all subordinates of Chi Shiro. Chi Shiro ordered us to go south to ally with Du Fuwei and pass by here. I also ask the general to raise your noble hand and make way for a way out,"
Zhishilang Wang Bo is an old man in the world's rebel army. He was defeated by Zhang Xutuo a few years ago and has been wandering around. However, since Lu Mingyue of Wuyang was defeated by Zhang Xutuo, Wang Bo took advantage of it. Following Wuyang's emptiness, he occupied Wuyang and the Liaocheng area and slowly regained his strength. Although Wang Bo's strength was very weak, just based on Wang Bo's name, neither Dou Jiande nor Gao Kaidao had ever attacked Wang Bo. Instead of taking action, Wang Bo was allowed to occupy Wuyang. Wang Bo was also very smart and developed his strength slowly. He always adhered to the bottom line of Dou Jiande and Gao Kaidao, and his strength would not show too much.
Hearing that the other party was Chishiro's soldiers and horses, Zhang Jinshu also put away his arrogance slightly, raised his hand slightly towards Li Jing, and said: "It turns out they are Chishiro's soldiers and horses. Forgive me, forgive me. I am Yan." The king’s subordinate Zhang Jinshu doesn’t know the general’s surname.”
"General Zhang, you're welcome. We are all rebel brothers. My surname is Wang, the third in the family, and my nickname is Wang Sandao. Zhi Shilang is my uncle." Since he had made up his mind to deceive the other party, Li Jing also opened his mouth to lie. He just came and randomly made up a name, and at the same time raised the banner of Wang Bo, just to make the other party have some scruples.
Sure enough, after hearing that Li Jing claimed to be Wang Bo's nephew, even though he was just a distant nephew, Zhang Jinshu did not dare to underestimate Li Jing anymore. He suddenly thought that since the other party was Wang Bo's subordinate, even if Gao Kaidao was here, he would only I'm afraid they have to be let go, so why should I be that evil person? Thinking of this, Zhang Jinshu hurriedly said: "Since they are Chishiro's troops, we naturally dare not stop him. General Wang, please." After saying that, Zhang Jinshu just pulled He stepped aside with his mount and made a gesture of invitation at the same time.
Seeing that he had deceived the other party, Li Jing was relieved. After all, he only had these three thousand soldiers and horses, and they would be used to capture Yu Wenhuaji. If there was a conflict with Gao Kaidao's soldiers and horses at this time, , if there are any casualties, it will only be detrimental to Li Jing's next mission. Li Jing immediately clasped his fists in front of Zhang Jinshu and saluted, and said with a smile: "Thank you so much, General Zhang. Come on, keep going."
After saying that, Li Jing waved behind him, and Lai Hong and other generals led the army to move forward. Zhang Jinshu also ordered his men to make way for the other side. Zhang Jinshu smiled and nodded to Li Jing. In fact, this golden tree It's not so easy to be fooled in normal times, but Gao Kaidao's reputation in Hebei is too great. Since going south, no one dares to easily offend Gao Kaidao's power. In addition, the opponent's soldiers and horses are stronger than his own. In Zhang Jinshu's opinion, if The other party was an enemy rather than a friend, so he could have launched a direct attack, so there was no need to lie like this. It was precisely based on this mentality that Zhang Jinshu believed Li Jing's lies so easily.
Li Jing, who was stationed next to Zhang Jinshu, saw that the Yan army had indeed made way for him. He was relieved and said to Zhang Jinshu with a smile: "Thank you to General Zhang for being generous this time. I will stay back to Wuyang." , I will definitely report it to Mingzhi Shilang, and Zhishilang will also send a letter to King Yan to thank the general for his righteousness."
"Haha, you're welcome, you're welcome." Hearing what Li Jing said, Zhang Jinshu also secretly shouted to the other party, his eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, and he nodded repeatedly and said: "It's just a little effort, how can you be worthy of knowing the world?" Thanks to Lang, no need to go to such trouble,"
"It should, it should." Although Zhang Jinshu kept saying that there was no need to bother, how could Li Jing not understand the meaning behind those words? In front of Zhang Jinshu, he whispered a few words in Zhang Jinshu's ear. The smile on Zhang Jinshu's face immediately froze. Seeing Zhang Jinshu's expression, Li Jing's heart that had just dropped immediately rose again, but he smiled at Zhang Jinshu asked: "General Zhang, what, is there something wrong?"
"General Wang," Zhang Jinshu's face also became very ugly. He turned his head, stared at Li Jing closely, and asked: "Just now, my subordinate discovered that the soldiers under General Wang seemed to be equipped with very good armors and weapons. Excellent, and I heard that Chishiro's life is not easy now. How can he afford such excellent armor and weapons? Could it be..."
Halfway through Zhang Jinshu's words, he did not continue. He just stared at Li Jing closely, as if waiting for Li Jing's answer. After hearing Zhang Jinshu's words, Li Jing's heart kept sinking. , forced a smile, and said to Zhang Jinshu: "Well, General Zhang is worrying too much. Even if Chishiro is in a desperate situation, can't he even support the armor and weapons of these three thousand soldiers and horses? Since I have been ordered to represent Chishiro and Du Fuwei Alliance, of course, this superficial skill cannot be bad, otherwise, how could Du Fuwei like us?"
Li Jing's explanation was barely reasonable, but Zhang Jinshu no longer believed Li Jing's words easily, but frowned even more tightly and said in a deep voice: "Also, I have never heard that Chishiro sent The soldiers and horses went south. I don’t know which way General Wang went south to Liyang. Why didn’t I know?”
Originally, Li Jing's lie was not very complete. At first, Zhang Jinshu was just too arrogant to believe Li Jing's lies so easily. Now that the loopholes have appeared, in Zhang Jinshu's view, there are more and more loopholes. Looking at Li Jing, Zhang Jinshu Subconsciously, he slowly raised the spear in his hand, as if he was ready to take action at any time.
"Here, haha, drink it," Li Jing still kept a smile on his face, but the corner of his eye had already spotted Zhang Jinshu's movements, and he immediately knew that this lie could no longer be fulfilled. Li Jing only listened to the middle of what he said, Suddenly, he shouted loudly, and a purple light burst out in Li Jing's eyes. Then, Li Jing was like a purple lightning, soaring directly from the horse into the air, turning his hands into palms, and quickly struck Zhang Jinshu and Zhang Jinshu. The lieutenants beside him shouted loudly at the same time: "Wu Lang, Liu Lang, do it."
