Chapter 625: Already Prepared

From the outside, Zeng Xianyi is a warrior with well-developed limbs and a simple mind, but in fact, underneath this pure and rough appearance, he hides a delicate heart with seven orifices. Otherwise, he would not have been able to hide it back then. Jiang Dawei became Jiang Dawei's trusted personal guard commander, and thus played a decisive role in Jiang Xinliang's coup to overthrow his father.

Therefore, when Ye Zhen and Niu Ben appeared in front of him, he was quite calm and did not shout to fight or kill.

"General Ye Zhen, I need you to give me an explanation." He looked at Ye Zhen, "Our county guard has an agreement with General Gao. In the past year, we have cooperated happily. General Gao is currently fighting a fierce battle with Donghu. , I don’t believe that General Gao will let you invade Yuyang County at this time. Although the Yuyang soldiers are not as good at fighting as the Eastern Army, they are not embroidered pillows. "

Ye Zhen smiled and spread his hands, "General Zeng, if I said that our actions these days are all to save you, would you believe it?"

Zeng Xianyi's brows twitched, and he suppressed the anger in his heart. The messenger sent to the county town disappeared without a trace. He didn't know if he had fallen into the hands of the Eastern Expeditionary Army. If his escape was not cut off now, With thousands of infantrymen of the Eastern Conquest Army in front of him, why should he have to deal with Ye Zhenxu? The three thousand men and horses in his hands were the best of Yuyang County soldiers. Zeng Xianyi would never want to go to war with the Eastern Expeditionary Army if it was not necessary.

"Are you kidding me, General Ye? Is there anything I need you to save?" he said coldly.

"I knew you didn't believe it." Ye Zhen shook his head, "General Zeng, Jiang Xinliang is going to take Yuyang County and defect to Zhao State. Do you really think he is doing it without anyone noticing?"

Zeng Xianyi's expression changed drastically, and his hand had already grasped the handle of the knife. He almost blurted out the word "human". Looking at the two people opposite him who were calm and composed, he swallowed back the two words that came to his mouth.

"General Ye Zhen. What are you talking about?" He said carefully: "You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. Don't you know that I don't dare to do anything to you? Ye Zhen, you are in the Eastern Expedition Army. You have a very high status and have an extraordinary relationship with Mrs. Gao. If I capture you, what will the Eastern Expedition Army do to me?"

Ye Zhen laughed, "General Zeng, if you don't want others to know you. Unless you do nothing, to be honest, Jiang Xinliang disappointed my general. Originally, the relationship between our Zhengdong Mansion and the Yan Kingdom's court was not very good. Even Jiang Xinliang We don't have much to say if you want to break away from Yan and become king, but if you want to vote for Zhao, that's different. We can't ignore it. Besides, even if you do it, you have to do it secretly. It would be better if no one is aware of it, but now, everyone knows it. General Zeng, we stand in front of you and tell you what you think is a big secret. So, do you think the Yan court doesn’t know? Don’t Tan Feng know?”

Zeng Xianyi's face slowly turned pale, and little by little, large drops of sweat began to appear on his pale face.

"What do you want to do? Has Tan Feng mobilized an army to attack Yuyang?

You trapped me here to prevent me from returning to help Yuyang. right? Ye Zhen, if this is really the case. Then I'm going to be rude and take you down. To force the Eastern Army to make way, I want to return to Yuyang County. Zeng Xianyi shouted sharply.

Ye Zhen shook his head, walked to the side, pulled up a chair and sat down, "General Zeng, you think about things too simply. Tan Feng, if our intelligence is correct, he should be fishing at this time." Once he takes action in Yangjun City, I have doubts as to whether your Governor Jiang is still alive."

"Yuyang County is under the control of the county governor. If Tan Feng really dares to enter the county, he will fall into a trap." Zeng Xianyi couldn't believe it.

Ye Zhen laughed and said, "General Zeng, please forgive me. If Tan Feng appears in Yuyang County, it means that Jiang Xinliang is no longer able to control the county town or his troops. There is no need to count on Zhao Jun, Tan Feng With a lot of scheming and clever tricks, Zhao Mu already had a fire in his backyard. Zhao Mu went back to put out the fire anxiously. It would be strange if Zhou Changshou was not left with a beating all over the floor by Tan Feng! "

"I still can't believe it." Zeng Xianyi shook his head slowly.

"General Zeng, I said we are here to save you. There is no water in my words. You are Jiang Xinliang's confidant. Tan Feng will not forget this. If he has killed Jiang Xinliang, he will never let him go. You, maybe the next moment, the order asking you to lead troops back to Yuyang City will arrive. At that time, you only need to capture the messenger who sent the message, and everything will be revealed," Ye Zhen said. "General Zeng, it seems that you don't believe us now. I won't say more. I will go back now. If everything goes as I said, I will wait for you in the camp outside the city. Where to go? General Zeng, you can take it yourself." Come up with an idea!”

Watching the two people Shi Shiran leave, Zeng Xianyi raised his hand several times and finally put it down. At this moment, he was already convinced that Ye Zhen came to him for nothing more. Because they are covetous of the three thousand men under their command and the land of Anlu, the Eastern Expeditionary Army's desire to enter Yuyang County is not something that only happens today. It's just that Gao Yuan and Donghu are currently fighting fiercely, and the Zhengdong Army is out of strength, so they can only stand still. If it weren't for this, the county guard wouldn't let himself and three thousand men be stationed here. Isn't it just to guard against the Zhengdong Army?

But now, the Zhengdong Army has not taken action, but Yuyang County is about to be lost.

How could things be so confidential? Zeng Xianyi lamented in his heart. Judging from the attitude of the Zhengdong Army, they will never let themselves go back to aid Yuyang. If it is as Ye Zhen said, if he goes back by himself, is it really useful except for being a sheep in a tiger's mouth?

If Yuyang has fallen into the hands of Tan Feng, then Zeng Xianyi can be sure that most of the troops in Yuyang County have already defected, but they just hid it from the governor and himself. That Tan Feng was so insidious that he could only I'm afraid the layout has already started.

Zeng Xianyi was in a state of confusion, but Zeng Xianyi still held on to the hope of what might happen. What if the county guard saw through the other party's conspiracy?

Worrying about gains and losses in his heart, he only felt that time was extremely difficult. It had been a full day since Ye Zhen left Anlu, and there was still no news from Yuyang County. This is extremely abnormal. If everything goes well, a group of messengers will come to Anlu every three days from Yuyang County. Ye Zhen said that he did not block Chidao, so the messenger should appear as scheduled.

Facing the lone lamp in front of him, Zeng Xianyi felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

"General, someone from the county is here." The guard who hurried in from outside the door made Zeng Xianyi jump up as if he was electrocuted. return.

"How many people are here?"

"Seven or eight people."

"Do you recognize it?"

"I recognize him, but he's not Captain Zhong Kuo Zhong from before, but someone from Jiang County's personal guard camp. I've seen him several times before when I was in the county town, so I have some memories," the guard said.

Zeng Xianyi took a deep breath, lowered his voice, and said a few words to the guard. The guard's eyes widened in surprise and looked at Zeng Xianyi in confusion.

"Go and do as I say. I'm afraid these people have betrayed the county guard." Zeng Xian held his waist knife with one hand and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Got it!" The guard shuddered and ran out quickly, making arrangements according to Zeng Xianyi's request. Zeng Xianyi composed himself and strode towards the outer hall.

"Han Ding, the captain of the personal guard camp, has met General Zeng!" In the hall, a captain saw Zeng Xian come in and quickly stepped forward to salute Zeng Xianyi.

"Well, why are you here? Wasn't Zhong Kuo responsible for the contact with this place before?" Zeng Xian nodded, walked to the main seat in the middle, sat down, and stretched out his hand, "Where is the letter from the county governor?"

Han Ding smiled and took out a lacquer-sealed envelope from his arms, and presented it to Zeng Xianyi with both hands, "It was supposed to be Captain Zhong. Unfortunately, Captain Zhong didn't know what he had eaten in the past two days, and he had diarrhea. The people are out of shape, and there is no way to ride a horse, so the county governor asked me to make this trip. "

"Really?" Zeng Xian peeled off the paint with a smile, and asked seemingly casually: "Is there anything going on in the county during this time?"

"No, I just heard that Tan Feng suddenly appeared in Jiuyuan County, and the imperial army stationed in Jiuyuan County also moved. I heard from the county guard that it seemed to have evil intentions." Han Ding said.

"That's really true!" Zeng Xianyi sighed: "The governor wants me to lead the army back?"

Seeing that Zeng Xianyi did not read the letter, but looked at himself, Han Ding was stunned and said: "My subordinates have heard from General Kou that the county guard seems to want General Zeng to go to the direction of Jiuyuan. Be prepared for Tan Feng's possible attack. There must be no mistakes at this moment!"

"What kind of talk is this?" Zeng Xianyi sneered, "It seems you know a lot, right?"

Han Ding's face changed color slightly, "Yes, General Kou has always trusted me, so I was also involved in the matters discussed with Zhao Guo."

"That's it!" Zeng Xianyi burst out laughing, clapped his hands, and with a bang, dozens of fully armed soldiers poured in from outside the door.

"Get this guy!" Zeng Xian shouted.

Han Ding was shocked, but he did not surrender. He hunched up and used force on his feet, but he rushed towards Zeng Xian. He took a step forward, and the steel knife in his waist appeared in his hand. He slashed straight towards Zeng Xian. Kenichi thrust.

"How dare you, rat!" Zeng Xian yelled angrily, turned sideways, and drew his sword. With a clang, the waist sword in Han Ding's hand was cut into two, and then flew up with a kick, hitting Han Ding's chest and abdomen flatly. It fell out and landed heavily on the ground. The guards swarmed up and pinned him firmly to the ground. In a blink of an eye, he was tied up.

After being pushed to his knees on the ground, a guard grabbed Han Ding's hair and pulled his head up to face Zeng Xianyi.

Blood flowed out from the corner of Han Ding's mouth. He looked at Zeng Xianyi and smiled: "It turns out that General Zeng was already on guard." (To be continued)
