Chapter 425

It is difficult for a high-ranking official like Xu Lengzhi to surrender to the enemy, but if he does not surrender, he will face the danger of the whole army being trapped and killed. Now he is in a dilemma. TXT download. -

Tang Yin, who is in Pufeng City, can empathize with Xu Lengzhi's current situation. When he met with Cheng Jin, Letian, Asan and Asi privately that day, he told everyone about this matter.

Letian's heart moved and said, "If Xu Lengzhi can surrender voluntarily, it will be very beneficial to our army, and it can also reduce a lot of casualties. King, should we take the opportunity to persuade this man to surrender now?"

Tang Yin thought about it seriously, shook his head slowly, and said, "Not appropriate! After all, Xu Lengzhi is a general of the Mo Kingdom. He is still very loyal to the court and Shao Fang. He will not surrender so easily. If we go to see him rashly, we may get ourselves involved."

Letian nodded, thinking that what the king said was not unreasonable. Cheng Jin blinked and said, "Then we won't show up. Let's write an anonymous letter to persuade him to surrender and put it at the gate of the county capital to see how he reacts."

Oh! This is worth a try! Tang Yin's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Cheng Jin's idea is good, let's do it!"

"Your Majesty, I'll take care of this matter!" Cheng Jin volunteered. Tang Yin had no opinion, but just reminded, "Be careful and don't reveal your identity!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I know what to do!" Cheng Jin bowed and responded.

That day, at night. There was silence inside and outside the county capital. The guards at the gate were standing guard attentively. Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking wind in the air. Before people could figure out what was going on, they heard a bang, and a feathered arrow was deeply nailed to the doorpost.

"There is an assassin!" The guards at the gate shouted instinctively and looked in the direction of the arrow. Now it was dark, and there was no light opposite the county capital. It was dark and there was no human figure.

At this time, a large number of guards heard the shouts and rushed out of the gate of the county capital, including Tang Yin, who was aliased as Ma Wu. People rushed outside and asked, "Where is the assassin?"

"I didn't see the assassin, but someone shot a cold arrow just now!" A guard at the gate screamed with lingering fear.

"Everyone go and search!" The leading centurion among the guards shouted to the left and right.

Tang Yin did not run to the opposite side with the crowd, but came to the doorpost, pulled out the arrow stuck in the face, and saw a letter tied to the arrow body. He immediately handed it to the centurion and said, "Brother Gao, look, this arrow is also tied with a letter!"

The centurion leading the team was Tang Yin's immediate superior, Gao Peng. He hurriedly took the arrow handed over by Tang Yin, untied the letter wrapped around the face, unfolded it, and saw that the envelope had five big characters "General Xu's personal letter" written on it, but there was no signature.

This is a letter to General Xu! Gao Peng didn't know what was going on, so he said to Tang Yin in a hurry, "Xiaowu, you are in charge here for now. You must not let the assassins sneak into the mansion. I will go to see General Xu first."

"Understood, Brother Gao, you go!"

Gao Peng hurried into the county capital with the arrow and the envelope to meet Xu Lengzhi to report the situation.

At this time, Xu Lengzhi was meeting with his generals in the county capital to discuss how to deploy their side next. As a result, they discussed and discussed, but they didn't come up with a result. Instead, Gao Peng came with a letter.

Hearing that someone had sent him a flying arrow, Xu Lengzhi frowned and stretched out his hand and said, "Show it to me!"

Gao Peng hurried forward and carefully handed the arrow and the letter to Xu Lengzhi. The latter first took the arrow, looked through it several times, then snorted and threw it on the table.

He was very familiar with this arrow because it was the arrow used by Mo Jun. Then, he tore the envelope open again and was about to take out the letter inside. At this time, the guard beside him said anxiously: "General, be careful of fraud!"

Xu Lengzhi froze, thought for a moment, and handed the envelope to the guard, asking him to open it for him. The guard slowly took out the letter, unfolded it slowly, checked it from front to back, and found nothing unusual, so he returned it to Xu Lengzhi.

The latter took it, looked down for a while, and then slammed the letter on the table. His eyes flashed, and he looked around at the generals present and asked: "Guess what the content of this letter is?"

The generals were confused and shook their heads, saying they didn't know.

Xu Lengzhi said in a serious tone: "This is a letter of persuasion to surrender! But the arrow used to deliver it came from our army, what do I mean?!" While speaking, he threw the arrow and letter on the table down for the generals to check.

Everyone looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and then gathered together to pass the letter and arrows around. After all the generals had read it, Xiang Wen clenched his fist and said, "There must be a spy inside our army. It could be the Feng Bandits who have infiltrated, or it could be the internal accomplices who were instigated by the Feng Bandits to rebel!"

Xu Lengzhi nodded, and his sharp eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one. He sneered and said, "Our two granaries were burned down at the same time, but we have not been able to find the enemy hiding in the city. Now you should understand why? Because the enemy is lurking inside our army! How can we catch the enemy if we let him catch him!"

His words made the generals blush. They lowered their heads and couldn't help but look around. There was a spy inside their own army, but who was the spy?

Xiang Wen rolled his eyes and said: "General, it's not surprising that the enemy knows the location of the granary, but what's strange is that the enemy can accurately know the location of the secret warehouse and can sneak in and set fire to it. This is incredible. If the general’s prediction is correct, the enemy must be lurking at the top of our army..."

His words were tantamount to putting everyone present under suspicion.

As soon as he finished speaking, General Mo stood up and expressed his dissatisfaction, saying: "What General Xiang said is wrong. Although we know the location of the secret warehouse, it is not easy to get in. How can we go inside and set fire?"

"That's right! Except for the guards in the county capital, I'm afraid no one can enter the secret warehouse!"

Seeing that everyone was gradually pointing their finger at him, a guard immediately said angrily: "The guards at the entrance of the secret warehouse have testified that no one came out of the secret warehouse before the fire. Could it be that the person who set the fire burned himself to death? "

The generals were all talking at once, each one saying the same thing to me, and the argument could not reach a conclusion until the end.

The more Xu Lengzhi listened, the more upset he became. He slammed the table and shouted: "Stop arguing! When you go back, you will all check your subordinates for me. If I let the commander find out whose subordinates have problems, I will punish you severely!"

All the generals stopped arguing in unison, shrank their necks in fear, and all responded with their hands raised: "Yes! General!"

Through this Fei Jian Biography, Xu Lengzhi can be sure that there is Feng Jun's detailed work within his own side, but he cannot be sure who it is. After all, there are hundreds of thousands of Mo Jun in the city, and anyone can do it. The possibility of being bribed by Feng Guo includes even his closest confidants.

The persuasion sent by Cheng Jin to Xu Lengzhi had no effect. Mo Jun still insisted on holding on to Bufeng. However, the entire army had reduced its meals from three meals a day to one and a half meals a day, with half a meal in the morning and half a meal in the evening. Eat one meal, no lunch.

Judging from the current situation, Xu Lengzhi seems to have made up his mind to defend Bufeng City and fight to the end with the Fengyu coalition.

Tang Yin was a guard at the county capital, and he had a good relationship with the chief officer in front of him, so he was well-informed. After finding out Xu Lengzhi's intentions, he already had murderous intentions in his heart.

Xu Lengzhi is the backbone of Mo Jun. As long as he is around, these hundreds of thousands of Mo Jun may fight to the death with their own soldiers at any time. But if this person dies, it will be a different matter. Mo Jun's heart The last line of defense will also collapse, which is very beneficial to our own side.

However, there were too many generals and guards around Xu Lengzhi, including many outstanding spiritual cultivators. Tang Yin wanted to do it alone, and there was basically no chance of success. For this matter, he went to Cheng Jin, Letian and others to discuss this matter.

Since Xu Lengzhi refused to surrender, assassinating this person was the most beneficial option for our side. Cheng Jin asked Tang Yin, "Your Majesty, can we sneak into the county capital?"

Tang Yin shook his head and said: "The county capital is now heavily guarded. There are double posts inside and outside, and spiritual cultivators are constantly releasing insights. Not even a mouse can get in, let alone a human being."

After listening to his words, Cheng Jin fell into silence. He couldn't sneak in. How could he assassinate Xu Lengzhi with only the king? Letian rubbed his chin and murmured: "If we can lure him out of the county capital, our chances of assassination will be greatly increased."

Tang Yin said with a wry smile: "The reason why I agreed to send Xu Lengzhi to surrender was, first, to test whether he had any intention of surrender. Second, I also wanted to use this to stimulate internal conflicts among them and make them suspicious of their own people. This Although both points have achieved their goals, they have also made Xu Lengzhi extremely vigilant, like a frightened bird. Now he is hiding in the county capital and basically does not go out. It will not be easy to lure him out of the county capital! "

Letian rolled his eyes, and an idea flashed in his mind, and he said: "Your Majesty, if there is a riot or even a fight within the Mo army, I am afraid that Xu Lengzhi will have to step in to solve it."

Tang Yin pondered for a moment, nodded his head, and asked curiously: "Letian, have you come up with any good ideas?"

Lotte smiled and said: "Instigate the Central Army of Mo State to rob Baishui Xuan."

"Oh?" Tang Yin didn't understand why Letian said that. He became interested and looked at Letian intently, waiting for him to continue. Lotte continued: "As far as my subordinates know, the shopkeeper of Baishui Xuan is a distant relative of the county chief Ma Qian. In fact, this is just a cover. The real boss behind Baishui Xuan is Ma Qian himself."

Tang Yin listened and nodded. He was now working as a guard in the county capital, and he had heard more or less about the relationship between Baishui Xuan and the county chief Ma Qian. However, what does this have to do with luring Xu Lengzhi out?
