Hearing the shouts, Wang Lei looked down and looked at a few people standing under the city. He knew it was none other than Prince Xiao Jingyun's guard captain Zhou Quan.
"Oh, it turns out to be brother Zhou Quan."
Zhou Quan bowed his hands and said, "General Wang, you have been surrounded. His Highness the Crown Prince said that as long as you surrender the city, bygones are bygones, and you can still stay in your original position."
After hearing Zhou Quan's words, Wang Lei couldn't help but snorted coldly, making a tone of disdain.
But it was only for a moment that a smile appeared on his face again, "Brother Zhou Quan, this happened too suddenly, please let me think about it before I reply to you, okay?"
Zhou Quan was not in a hurry, he just promised to pull his horse and leave.
Watching Zhou Quan go away, Wang Lei slapped the city wall hard with his palm.
"Bah, no one dares to grant me a title. I will be the founding father in no time."
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves, and a person hurriedly ran up the stairs.
"General, someone called out to the formation outside the east gate. He was an old man with white hair and beard. He said his name was Liu Junyu."
Hearing this, Liu Junyu and Wang Lei couldn't help but laugh, "This old man is already over seventy years old this year. He wants to die by himself, so I will help him."
He had just taken two steps when a man next to him stopped him and said, "General, please don't worry, please listen to what I have to say."
This is his lieutenant named Wang Heng.
Wang Lei nodded, "If you have anything to do, just tell me."
"General, Liu Junyu is the Marquis of our Dacang Kingdom. He is over seventy years old. Even if you go out of the city to fight with him, you won't win. If you hurt him or kill him, you will definitely be pursued by the entire Liu family.
kill."
"Perhaps if you fail and are defeated by him, your reputation will be ruined."
After listening to Wang Heng's words, Wang Lei nodded slightly, "It makes sense, but if he comes to call for formation, I have to go out and fight."
"General, have you forgotten? Zhu Jianyu is still locked up in the backyard. He can be punished and make meritorious service."
After hearing these words, Wang Lei's eyes lit up and he looked at Wang Heng with approval, "You're right, why have you forgotten him? Go and pass on my military order and let Zhu Jianyu go out of the city to meet the enemy. You can only win.
We are not allowed to lose. If we lose, we will engage in military law."
Wang Heng nodded, left quickly, came to the backyard of the county government office, ordered someone to open the door, and saw Zhu Jianyu.
Seeing Wang Heng coming, Zhu Jianyu suddenly had an ominous premonition that something must have happened.
Sure enough, Wang Heng laughed hypocritically, "Brother Jianyu, you have been wronged these past two days."
He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man, and Wang Heng laughed with him. Naturally, Zhu Jianyu couldn't cry. He cupped his fists and said, "General Wang, I guarantee with the head on my neck that I did not send someone to kill General Wang Long."
Wang Heng nodded, "I believe General Zhu can't do such a thing, but I'm afraid the commander-in-chief doesn't believe it."
Zhu Jianyu's expression instantly became melancholy, "Oh, my sincerity can only be learned from the heavens."
Wang Heng patted Zhu Jianyu on the shoulder, "Now there is a chance to prove your sincerity."
Zhu Jianyu was shocked when he heard this, and his eyes also radiated excitement.
"Oh, General Wang said there is nothing you can do?"
Wang Heng pointed to the east, "Now Liu Junyu is attacking the enemy outside the city, and the general has come forward to kill this old man. The commander-in-chief will naturally believe you."
When Zhu Jianyu heard this, he was stunned.
"You mean Liu Junyu is outside?"
Wang Heng nodded, "Yes, to be honest, our Qingniu County is surrounded by a large army."
"There are calls for formation from all sides, and General Wang Lei is already fighting with the prince's guard captain Zhou Quan."
After hearing this, Zhu Jianyu's heart tightened.
"Oh, what about the commander, why don't you come to support?"
Wang Heng sighed, "The commander took people down the mountain yesterday. Maybe he has other plans."
Hearing this, he turned to look at Zhu Jianyu again and said, "General, please leave the city quickly. I'm going into battle to kill the enemy."
After saying that, Wang Heng hurriedly walked away. After leaving the county government office, he waved to the person next to him and called over, "Keep an eye on Zhu Jianyu and report any changes immediately."
At this time, Zhu Jianyu was deep in thought in the room.
Seeing that he was silent, several guards beside him couldn't help but said, "General, Mr. Liu is a highly respected man. Do you really have the heart to go into battle and fight against him?"
After hearing this, Zhu Jianyu let out a long sigh, "Yes, the Liu family is very powerful in Hedong. If I hurt him, it would be like poking a hornet's nest."
"But if we don't leave the city and fight against the commander, we won't be able to explain it."
At this time, a guard next to him clasped his fists and said, "General, why don't you take this opportunity to lead your troops to defect to the prince, and it will be over."
After hearing this, Zhu Jianyu fell silent again.
At this time, another person said, "Yes, General, since the commander-in-chief is already suspicious of us, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to treat us sincerely. If we stay here and suffer, we might as well just run to the prince."
After listening to everyone's discussion, Zhu Jianyu nodded slightly.
"It's better that you go down and get ready, and say hello to the brothers early so that everyone knows what's going on."
"In addition, no one is allowed to bring irrelevant items, so as not to be seen as abnormal."
Everyone immediately dispersed and began to prepare.
Zhu Jianyu returned to his residence, changed his clothes, and carefully put on his armor. He looked around his room, still feeling a little reluctant, not knowing when he would be able to come back.
Zhu Jianyu's own soldiers only had 2,000 people. After he ordered them up, he led the team and ran slowly towards the east gate.
On the east gate tower, Wang Lei and Wang Heng hid in the corner and watched Zhu Jianyu slowly approaching with his troops, smiling at each other.
Outside the city gate, Liu Junyu stood in front of the formation of the two armies. Seeing that no one on the wall responded to the challenge, he felt a little disappointed. He had been here for so long and had not made any achievements. He came to call for formation today. Although Xiao Jingyun was very opposed to it, he was still a little disappointed.
Arrogant, Liu Jiadao is famous all over the world.
With a rumble, the city gate opened, and Zhu Jianyu rushed out with two thousand soldiers and horses.
Liu Junyu didn't know Zhu Jianyu. He waved the big knife in his hand and shouted loudly at Zhu Jianyu, "Come on, the general will be named, and no nameless ghost will be killed by my sword."
Zhu Jianyu shook the spear in his hand and shouted at Liu Junyu, "My name is Zhu Jianyu, and the old Marquis has invited me."
Liu Junyu laughed loudly, "You nameless rat, come and die soon."
Zhu Jianyu rushed forward as soon as he urged his horse.
Seeing Zhu Jianyu being so proactive, Wang Lei and Wang Heng looked at each other on top of the city and smiled knowingly again.
Wang Lei held his hand on the city wall with a look of gloating on his face, "Okay, now there will be something good to watch."
Zhu Jianyu beat Ma Rufei, rushed to Liu Junyu, flicked his spear, and stabbed the opponent in the face.
Liu Junyu hid on one side and turned around with a knife.
Zhu Jianyu hurriedly returned the gun and blocked it.
As the two of them approached, Zhu Jianyu whispered, "Old Marquis, I will lead my troops out to surrender. Later I will pretend to be defeated and you will capture me."
