Life always has ups and downs, so fast that Sima Liang and the other four were unable to adapt. Just when the four planned how to deal with Zhang Jun in the future, the situation on the battlefield changed that no one expected.
Feng Yang's army in Luoxing City was still tenaciously fighting against Long Shouyi's army entering the city, showing no sign of defeat. On the contrary, these Feng Yang's army seemed to deliberately drag Long Shouyi's footsteps. Although it was not obvious, it was still noticed by Zhang Jun who was paying attention. The plan tonight was going well, just like it was done in advance. This made Zhang Jun, who was born suspicious, feel more uneasy. He always feels that something bad will come to them, but Zhang Jun can't tell what the specific thing is. So although Long Shouyi trusts Zhang Jun, he will not give up the victory that is within his control because of Zhang Jun's premonition.
When the two sides were fighting in full swing, a sudden change occurred. A knight urged his horse to rush to Long Shouyi's horse from outside the city to the city's horse. Without waiting for Long Shouyi to ask questions, he shouted: "Your Majesty, our army's camp has been attacked. Please ask Your Majesty to return to the rescue."
"Impossible, Feng Yang's army is all Luoxing, how could Feng Yang's army appear in the camp?" Long Shouyi replied in disbelief.
"Your Majesty, what you said is true. Feng Yang soldiers rode their horses and set fires everywhere after rushing into the camp. General Zhang Liang was taking the people to put out the fire while resisting." The cavalry who reported the news quickly said.
"Your Majesty, what he said may be true. I remember that after Feng Yang South Army got ashore at West Harbor, they divided into three groups to attack Luo Xing. Now the Feng Yang Army that attacked my camp is likely to be the Feng Yang Army that attacked Luo Xing. " Zhang Jun, who spoke to Long Shouyi and explained.
"...what should I do here?" Long Shouyi asked with some difficulty in choosing.
"Return to the army. The camp is our foundation, and we cannot lose it. Once the camp is lost and the place cannot be taken down for a long time, and then we will be attacked by Feng Yang's army from both sides, then we will be finished." Zhang Jun replied firmly.
"But……"
"Let me do this, I will take some of the people to stay. On the one hand, I will continue to fight with Feng Yang's army, and on the other hand, I can also ensure the safety behind His Majesty. His Majesty will quickly eliminate Feng Yang's army outside the city, and then come back to meet with me."
"...Okay, then you are more attentive. I can't live without you."
"Please lead the army back soon."
Long Shouyi took most of the army away, and Zhang Jun gathered the remaining people and stood at the gate of the city, striving to keep the passage into Luoxing and not fall into Feng Yangjun's hands.
Sima Liang and others were very cunning and followed Long Shouyi with their own private soldiers. But they could not run away, and the monk could not run away. Just when Sima Liang and others were working hard for Long Shouyi, they had already arranged for ambush troops around their family to attack.
Most of the private soldiers in the clan were taken away by Sima Liang and others, and the remaining part was only a few cats, and they could not stop the Feng Yang army soldiers who were like wolves and tigers.
Nangong Fu, the contemporary head of the Nangong family, said to the Feng Yang Army general who was responsible for capturing them: "I swear, I will definitely go to your lord to sue you, so that you can't afford to take advantage of it."
"That happens, my lord is about to have a good talk with you. But it's not here, take them all away." General Feng Yang's army sneered twice, waved his hand and ordered.
"Slowly, what crime did we commit? Why should you Feng Yangjun arrest us?"
"Hmph, if you don't know, don't do it yourself. Don't think that what you do behind your back is very secret. All your actions during this period have long been under the surveillance of our Feng Yangjun. Aren't you going to pretend to be confused with me? Then let me ask you, where are the private soldiers of your Nangong family? As your master's family is about to finish, why haven't they come out to rescue you yet?"
Nangong Fu was cold when he heard this, and the matter had been exposed. No matter how much he tried to argue, it would be a waste of effort.
"Take them all away." Seeing that Nangong Fu stopped talking nonsense, the general of Feng Yang ordered loudly again.
The same situation is still happening in the East and the West. As for the Sima family, because of Sima Wenbo's surrender, Ye Kaihuai ordered the Sima family not to be touched for the time being and continue to monitor.
Among the three major families, there are as many as a thousand members. In addition to the servants and servants, Luoxing City's already empty cell was immediately crowded. Except for the prison warden of the cell, no one was happy. In order to ensure the success of this arrest, all the families close to the three major families were under the surveillance of Feng Yangjun and had received Ye Kaihuai's orders. If there is any resistance, killing them will be fine.
During this period, thanks to the order issued by Ye Kaihuai in advance, there were actually several ignorant families who wanted to organize to resist the arrest of Feng Yang's army, and the result was naturally dead. In comparison with Feng Yang's army, those private soldiers of the aristocratic families who usually show off their power are really too naughty.
By mercilessly exterminated several aristocratic families that dared to resist, Feng Yangjun successfully shocked other aristocratic families, and they were honestly like grandsons. They did whatever Feng Yangjun told them to do.
Long Shouyi hurried back to the camp with his soldiers, and saw that his camp was at this time, and the fences and other objects on the periphery had been demolished. His soldiers were busy putting out the fire, but there was no sign of Feng Yangjun.
"Where is Zhang Liang? Go and find him for me." Long Shouyi held back his anger and ordered his personal soldiers around him.
Before the personal soldiers could split their heads and search for him, Zhang Liang had already rushed over with his men. Zhang Liang, who was originally called the Bearded Man, looked dirty at this time, and his original Beard was as if he had been gnawed by a dog, and was incomplete.
"Zhang Liang, where is Feng Yangjun attacking the camp?" Long Shouyi asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty forgive me for your crime. I am incompetent and I did not leave the coming Feng Yang army." Zhang Liang replied with a shame.
"When will those Feng Yang troops retreat?" Long Shouyi asked again.
"Just shortly after I sent a messenger for help, they turned around and ran away. They all rode war horses, but our army's war horses ran to the entire barracks because they were frightened..."
"Okay, don't explain to me. I won't blame you for the disadvantage of the battle. You just need to answer the questions I asked you." Long Shouyi waved his hand impatiently and interrupted Zhang Liang's explanation.
"Yes." Zhang Liang immediately replied.
"In which direction did those Feng Yang troops evacuate?"
"South of Daying."
“…How long did it take to evacuate from that Fengyang army to the time I led my army back?”
"About a quarter of an hour... Your Majesty, why didn't Lord Zhang see it?" Zhang Liang asked Long Shouyi.
When Long Shouyi heard Zhang Liang's question, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and a possibility appeared in his mind, "No, we have been trapped, Zhang Jun is in danger. Hurry up, prepare the troops and follow me to save people."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang hurriedly ran to gather the army. Because he was going to save people, the troops he selected were all cavalry. After the army was summoned, Long Shouyi and others ordered Zhang Liang to say, "Zhang Liang, stay and command the remaining soldiers' bags. We will leave temporarily after I rescue Zhang Jun. Be careful not to be attacked by Feng Yang's army again."
"The last general understands. Please go and return soon."
He hurriedly brought ten thousand cavalry that had just assembled and rushed to Luoxing City with one man and two horses. On the way, Long Shouyi kept urging him to speed up his advance, so that the entire cavalry unit was extremely long. With one man and two horses, the cavalry team led by Long Shouyi had no team at all.
As the troops approached the army, they had arrived less than five miles away from Luoxing, a cavalry unit that had been ambushing for a long time suddenly came out of the slanting sect, directly dividing the Long Shou Yi army, who was busy rushing to the road, into several parts. At this time, it was already dark, and with the naked eye, he could see who was attacking him.
Long Shouyi, who was suddenly attacked, didn't care about saving Zhang Jun at this time. He was now unable to take care of himself. He did not have the great sentiment of living and dying with Zhang Jun. In front of his life, everything must give way.
"Hurry, protect me back to the camp." Long Shouyi shouted, turning his horse's head and running towards his camp. Seeing Long Shouyi dressed in luxurious clothes, like stars arching the moon, you can tell without anyone shouting that this person is a big fish. Feng Yangjun, who wanted to make achievements, immediately someone urged the horse to rush over, intending to capture Long Shouyi alive.
Fortunately, at this time, Long Shouyi's personal guards faithfully fulfilled their duties and tried their best to stop the Feng Yang cavalry rushing over, creating an opportunity for Long Shouyi's escape.
"Chasing me!" Li Sansi watched Long Shouyi leave without hesitation and ordered unwillingly.
"Slowly, think twice. Have you forgotten the Lord's explanation?" Wu Ding beside him quickly spoke out and stopped him.
"But..." Li Sansi pointed to the back of Long Shouyi who was about to disappear.
Seeing this, Wu Ding quickly advised: "Let that guy live a few more days. The adults often say that they should eat one bite at a time and take it slowly. Now we should hurry back to the army to avoid letting that guy Zhang Jun run away. Without Zhang Jun, it would be like cutting off Long Shouyi's arm."
"Okay, then let him live two more days. Wuding, you take people to clean the battlefield, and I will take people back to the army to block Zhang Jun's retreat. That's it." Li Sansi didn't wait for Wuding to speak, and immediately grabbed the horse's belly and urged the horse to rush towards the west gate of Luoxing City.
"Damn, why are you so naive?" Wu Ding couldn't help but curse.
Luoxing City West Gate
"Sir, retreat quickly, we are almost unable to hold on." The general under his command tried hard to persuade Zhang Jun.
"Wait a little longer, Your Majesty will be here soon." Zhang Jun replied stubbornly.
Zhang Jun has said the same thing for more than twenty times, and the generals under his command will be punished, but the reinforcements that would appear in Zhang Jun's mouth still do not even have a ghost.
"Sir, it's already this time. Your Majesty cannot send troops here. Let's take advantage of the fact that the brothers still have the power to fight and start breaking through."
"No, if you want to leave, I will never leave."
"grown ups……"
"No need to say it."
Just as Zhang Jun was arguing with his generals, a tremor of the earth interrupted the conversation between the two.
"Did you see it? Reinforcements are coming." Zhang Jun said to his general with joy. After that, Zhang Jun couldn't help but run to the city gate to welcome the reinforcements. But he only took a look, his face suddenly changed drastically. He turned around and ran, shouting while running: "Break through quickly, it's Feng Yang's army, not reinforcements."
The general who had been persuading Zhang Jun just now almost burst out his lungs when he heard this. Now he said this is useless! You have told you to leave and you don’t leave. Now, how can it be so easy? I have been fighting for a night and my physical strength has been almost exhausted. I have no strength to escape. Suoxing threw away the weapons in his hand, and the general said to Feng Yangjun in front of him: "I surrender."
Seeing that all the generals surrendered, how many remaining soldiers could continue to fight, they threw away their weapons and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.
At this time, Zhang Jun didn't care about scolding those who surrendered, and turned over his mount and prepared to run away. How could Li Sansi let him run away? Long Shouyi ran away. If Zhang Jun ran away again, then he would not have robbed him of the errand this time, as he was scolded by Wu Ding. He immediately urged the horse, and Li Sansi began to chase Zhang Jun who was in a panic along the city wall.
While urging the horse to chase him quickly, Li Sansi took off a set of ropes from the saddle. Just like he used to be a horse, the rope accurately surrounded Zhang Jun. Zhang Jun was taken off the horse and fell heavily to the ground. This time, he fell heavily, and Zhang Jun felt that his internal organs had been displaced. He lay on the ground and couldn't help but groan.
Li Sansi had already arrived close at this time and tied up Zhang Jun's four horses with their feet upside down. After tied up, Li Sansi threw Zhang Jun on the back. In order to prevent Zhang Jun from seeking death, Li Sansi raised the hilt of the knife and pointed it at the back of Zhang Jun's neck, which was ruthless. He directly knocked Zhang Jun out of breath.
When Li Sansi returned to the west gate of Luoxing City, the west gate was cleaning the battlefield. The corpses of soldiers who died in battle last night were carried out and sorted out. On one side were Feng Yang's army and on the other side were Long Shou's army. These corpses were buried, among which Feng Yang's army would be kept and sent back to the Heroic Spirit Hall built in Feng Yang City for future generations to admire. However, Long Shou's army was buried in a large pit, which was better than the wild corpse.
Seeing Li Sansi coming back, Ye Kaihuai, who was inspecting the West Gate, smiled and joked: "Oh, Sansi, you are back, Wu Ding has sued you hard in front of me. How about it? Have you gained something this time?"
"Hehe... Of course there are. Sir, who do you think this is?"
Ye Kaihuai stepped forward and looked, "Zhang Jun?"
"That's right." Li Sansi replied proudly.
"Okay, you actually caught this guy. Not bad, remember you for your merits." Ye Kaihuai replied with a happy expression.
"Thank you, sir."
"What's wrong with him?" Seeing that Zhang Jun had not woken up for a long time, Ye Kaihuai asked Li Sansi with some confusion.
Li Sansi quickly explained: "It's okay. When I caught him, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to think so, so I shot him out."
"Oh, come and take him down and lock him up alone, remind the person who is guarding him to be careful not to let him die."
Taken by Zhang Jun who was unconscious from Li Sansi, Ye Kaihuai asked Li Sansi: "Sansi, can you fight again now?"
"Yes." Li Sansi replied quickly. Wu Ding, who was standing beside him, immediately became anxious and said, "Sir, this guy has already caught a Zhang Jun. You can't ask this guy to make meritorious contributions anymore. You have to leave a chance for us who have not made meritorious contributions."
Before Ye Kaihuai could answer, Li Sansi had already shouted, "Wu Ding, why do you talk to the adults? You cannot disobey the adults' words."
"Shut up!" Wu Ding roared.
When Ye Kaihuai saw that the two of them were likely to make noise, he hurriedly said, "Okay, don't make noise. If you two have to argue, you don't have to go."
This was indeed very effective. Wu Ding and Li Sansi, who were like fighting just now, suddenly became honest. They looked at Ye Kaihuai with a charming smile, fearing that Ye Kaihuai would not take them to play.
When the two big men looked at me like this, Ye Kaihuai couldn't help but have a cold war, rubbed his arms and said, "Okay, don't look at me like this, it's so cunning."
Li Sansi and Wu Ding smiled embarrassedly when they heard this.
"Wu Ding, Li Sansi obeyed the order."
"The last one is here." Wu Ding and Li Sansi replied in unison.
"I ordered you and the two of you to immediately lead the troops to assist Chen Baxian in attacking the pseudo-Emperor Long Shouyi's camp. Remember, don't catch Long Shouyi." The last sentence was Ye Kaihuai lowered his voice and said in a voice that only allowed Wu Ding and Li Sansi to hear.
"Sir..." Li Sansi looked at Ye Kaihuai in confusion, and Wu Ding on the side also had the same expression as Li Sansi.
"Long Shouyi has been operating in the South Bank for many years, and we are not very clear about how many people loyal to him. Taking this opportunity to dig out all the unstable factors will be beneficial to my future development." Ye Kaihuai explained to Li Sansi and Wu Ding in a low voice.
After listening to Ye Kaihuai's explanation, Li Sansi and Wu Ding nodded, expressing their resolute implementation of Ye Kaihuai's orders.
The three cavalrymen rushed towards Long Shouyi's camp under the leadership of Chen Baxian, Li Sansi and Wu Ding. At this time, Long Shouyi was in a panic in his camp, and the feeling of escaping from death made him lose his innocence. Usually, Zhang Jun came forward to comfort and encourage Long Shouyi to cheer up again, but wasn't Zhang Jun arrested this time? Zhang Jun, Sima Liang and others had the opportunity, and one and two surrounded Long Shouyi and tried to replace Zhang Jun's position in Long Shouyi's hands.
However, Sima Liang and other children of aristocratic families were used to being domineering by relying on their own power, so how could they comfort people? They comforted Long Shouyi one by one. The more they comforted, the more they became, the more frightened Long Shouyi was. In the end, Zhang Liang couldn't stand it anymore and asked Long Shouyi to order the entire army to retreat temporarily. Only then did Sima Liang and others interrupt the act of "comfort" in the name of "consolation" but intimidation.
