After only Pilihu and Zuoshan Diao were left in the tent, the two suddenly realized that during the meeting and conversation just now, they were completely controlled by Dou Jiande. In the end, they did not even let the other party give any substantial benefits, and there was no promise.

They now don’t know how Yi Lingyun will deal with Lao Daozi’s Allied forces, nor do they get the benefits officially promised by the other party. This negotiation is simply led by others.

"What is the medicine sold in the other party's gourd?" Lei Laohu frowned and said, "The man named Dou is not playing tricks on us, right?"

However, based on his years of experience in the martial arts world, Xie Wendong instinctively realized that Dou Jiande would never be fooling them. After all, the other party had already arrived in his camp and did not joke about his life. But he couldn't understand why the other party had such an attitude and arrangement. According to his idea, after he took the initiative to surrender to Yi Feng secretly, the other party either did not believe in him. If he believed in him, the best arrangement was to let himself be an insider and wait until the Daqingshan Allied Army entered.

When attacking Huaihuang, he was inside and Yi Lingyun's Huaihuang army was outside, and both sides were cooperating inside and outside, and caught Lao Daozi's Allied troops off guard. This was the best arrangement. Or, after Lingyun had his own internal support, he would take the initiative to fight, and he could even make a more stable attack on the dark side. In the chaos, he suddenly attacked Taoshan in Taoshan, creating chaos everywhere, and even attacked Lao Daozi's village on Taoshan and hit the nest directly. It was also excellent.

But now the other party has no arrangements, and he even refuses to reveal a plan. He only lets them stare at Lao Daozhaozi and Zhang Cheng and others. What's going on?

"Maybe, Yi Feng is sure to win early. We don't need to be an insider to be sure to destroy the old sword."

After a long time, Xie Wendong told the result of his guess for a long time. Only in this way would the other party react so plainly to their surrender. Not only did they not ask them to accept the letter of acceptance, they did not even give any promises to reward them.

"If this is the case, wouldn't that be great?" Lei Laohu murmured, at least they didn't have to fight back in front of the formation. They were in the inside and outside. To be honest, 1,500 people turned against each other at the foot of Taoshan with more than 20,000 people, and he was under a lot of pressure.

"Don't be fooled!" Xie Wendong shook his head immediately. "If this is true, it will not be a good thing for us but a bad thing. Those who make chess pieces should never be afraid of being used. As long as they are used, it means that there is still value for use. If even the value of being used is gone, then they will be regarded as abandoned children. Do you understand? If we don't have any help to Yi Lingyun, then after he defeats the old knife handle, how can he have our place there?"

After hearing Xie Wendong point out that the relationship was strong, Lei Laohu's expression changed slightly. He did not expect that his 1,500 troops were actually in Yi Feng's eyes. This made him very annoyed and uncomfortable. But then he thought that he pressed his anger in his heart again. Yi Feng's way of doing this also showed his strength. Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is what every mountain village understands. Yi Feng who does not take the 1,500 troops in the slightest eyes is not something they can offend.

Quietly, Xie Wendong's mentality has changed a lot, from waiting for a price at the beginning to being eager to prove himself.

"Tiger, you personally take the best squadron in the camp to Huaihuang. Be sure to see Yi Lingyun and tell Yi Feng that we are ready and willing to attack him. If Yi Lingyun personally accepts our surrender, just send someone back to report the message, and you will stay there first." Xie Wendong finally made the decision to let Lei Laohu go to Huaihuang, which is to explore the situation and take the initiative to send hostages. Since the choice has been made, it must be done to the end.

On the top of Taoshan Mountain, there is a pier, which is the commanding height of the entire Taoshan Mountain, and it is also a lookout for Taohua Village. However, today, Lao Daozi made people build a long table on the top of the pier, and the tablecloths were laid on the long table that was pieced together, and Hu chairs were placed on both sides. There were thirty-six seats next to the long table, which was the location of the thirty-six camp leaders in this alliance. The Taohua Village of the leader Lao Daozi is also one of the thirty-six camps. At the same time, Lao Daozi is also the leader of the alliance, so he is the first place. The cool breeze in July evening was very refreshing. Behind each seat, there was a big banner, which was the corresponding flag of each village. Under Lao Daozi, there was the deputy leader and the general manager of the Northern Alliance Army, Heihu.

Xie Wendong came a little late, but in fact he felt a little guilty. As soon as he decided to surrender to Yi Feng, Lao Daozi sent someone to invite him to the banquet. The sudden banquet made him think of the word Hongmen Banquet. But he refused, so he had to come over in the end. He swayed all the way up the pier and walked towards his seat. He was also very entangled on this day, thinking about all kinds of things in his heart, which made him feel exhausted. He planned to drink more tonight and then have a good sleep.

Time is already dusk, the sky is full of fireflies, flying in the dim night sky, with the flowing lights overflowing, like a dream.

The chefs in Taohua Village are already serving the dishes. Tonight's main dish is roasted swans. The white swans are roasted golden and crispy, and the old knife handle is still introduced there. There is a chicken in each swan's belly, and a pigeon is hidden in the belly, and a turtle egg is hidden in the belly. Just listening to this, it makes people feel extremely magical and I don't know how to cook it.

"Sorry, I'm late." Xie Wendong said, sitting down in his position. His position was relatively high. Even among the Thirty-Six Villages, the strength of Heishi Village is still medium to the top.

"Zushan Diao, you always compete for the first place on weekdays, but why did you fall behind today?" The leader of Wuyang Village next to him said with a smile. If it were usual, Zuoshan Diao would have had many words to joke with him, but today he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

"I just received the scout report. Yi Shisan is now gathering in Yehu City. It seems that we will attack from Yehu City." Lao Dao held Zi while watching the young maid who had been a year old, helping him to spread the swans layer by layer, take out the endless food inside, and put it into his plate. He said, "Yi Shisan gathered eight thousand people in Yehu City, five thousand people in Salt Lake City. Erlong City gathered three thousand people and five thousand people in Baiyun City. He transferred all his people to the west. At this moment, the head of the Tiger Alliance, Huaihuanglian City, has only one thousand guards."

"Yi Shisan is really a stupid soldier." Zhang Cheng laughed, "It is better to unite troops in this way than to divide troops in one place and divide troops in this way. He wants to defend everywhere, but in fact he can't defend everywhere."

"Hahaha!"

The leaders of the village laughed together, and some people shouted. "Yi Shisan won the enemy by chance. Baye Guren once, and he really thought he was a famous general. After all, he was just a stinky yellow-haired boy who was carrying the flag for Mr. Murong to rush forward. But if he wanted to arrange troops, he was too young."

"that is!"

Everyone laughed, and Xie Wendong also pretended to laugh on the surface, but he was sneering in his heart. Although he had no evidence, he had already determined that Lao Daozhanzi's information was definitely fake. Yi Lingyun could not have arranged 20,000 people so stupidly. He remembered that his previous scouts were all caught by Yi Feng's horse as soon as he went out. He knew that Lao Daozhanzi's scouts were probably the same. This so-called military information was very likely just fake news. It's ridiculous that these people are still laughing at Yi Feng's stupidity and immatureness here, but they didn't know that they had been played with by others.

"I saw Lei Laohu taking a team of men out of the camp today. Where are they going?" asked the head of Wuyangzhai.

Xie Wendong frowned and said vaguely: "Tiger, this guy, has made him feel more uncomfortable than killing him in the camp all day. So, I went out to hunt."

Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "The Tiger's horse team is really fierce. I have an idea to transfer the Tiger's three hundred horse team to my reserve team. When the battle is critical, let them go to the battlefield to directly attack the opponent's weaknesses, which will definitely play an excellent role."

Zhang Cheng's idea was actually Lao Daozhaozi's idea. The horse teams of each family were actually the most elite. However, it would be extremely difficult to transfer the horse teams of each family. Therefore, Lao Daozhaozi planned to draw half of each family's horse teams in the name of forming a reserve team to gather together, called the reserve team. But as long as it can be drawn out, it would not be as he wishes to command.

There is a very powerful horse team in Heishi Village, with 800 cavalry, almost the core people of Heishi Village. Usually Lei Laohu led 300 cavalry, Xie Wendong personally commanded 500 cavalry, and there were hundreds of guards. Usually when going out for business, he would lead the horse team out, and the horse team in Heishi Village was among the top five in the 36 villages. Xie Wendong didn't expect that Zhang Cheng had never given up, and now he just started to attack him first.

"Reserve Team?" Xie Wendong repeated Zhang Cheng's words, and the leaders of each village were also looking at him. Each family was unwilling to hand over the most elite horse team, even half of them. "The reserve team has a good idea. The horse team has a strong ability to break through the formation, but if it is dispersed and used, it is really not very effective, but when used together, it is extremely powerful. The more horse teams there are, the greater the role it plays. This time, our Heishi Village brought five hundred horse teams. If the deputy leader thinks it is OK, I am willing to hand over the one thousand infantry to the deputy leader to dispatch the remaining five hundred horse teams..."

He pondered for a while, and then said, "I can hand over the 500 horse team to the deputy leader as a reserve team, but it is best to still be personally directed, so that we can better exert the power of the horse team."

"That's good." Lao Daozhezi spoke at the right time. In his opinion, this was Zuoshan Diao's support for them. He handed over the infantry command to Zhang Cheng and transferred all the horse teams to them as reserve teams. Although there was an additional condition to command them personally, it was reasonable. After all, these horse teams are treasures of each family, and the horse teams are also the personal confidants of the village leaders, and ordinary people really can't command them.

But what Lao Daobazi and Zhang Cheng and the others would never think of was that when Xie Wendong heard Zhang Cheng ask for the horse team, he had already had a plan in his mind. He was thinking about how to keep an eye on Lao Daobazi and Zhang Cheng. Now Zhang Cheng took the initiative to transfer his horse team. This is a good opportunity to take the horse team to be the reserve team. In this way, he would not have to worry about Zhang Cheng transferring him to lead other tasks. At the same time, the reserve team must follow Zhang Cheng's central army, so he naturally stared at them.

Lao Dao turned his son-in-law, "It is really admirable that Zuoshan Diao considers the overall situation so much. There is no doubt that he should pay more trophy after the war."

"The leader of the alliance does not need to be like this." Xie Wendong smiled, "I just obey the overall situation and obey the command."

With Xie Wendong's lead, the other camp leaders handed over some of the horse teams, regardless of whether they wanted to or not. In the end, Zhao Cheng pieced together a horse team of 3,000 people in his hand, which made Zhang Cheng feel confident for a while.

A dinner ended very late. The goal was achieved, and Lao Dao happily sent the son-in-law down the mountain.

The night was already low, dyeing countless flags on Taoshan Mountain ink.

Xie Wendong went down the mountain with a little drunkenness. Thinking that he had successfully achieved the task of staring at the old knife handle today, he couldn't help but fall on the bed with a smile. He fell asleep quickly until he was awakened by the deafening sound of trumpets in the darkness. The personal soldiers shook his shoulders and shouted in panic: "Zhouzhu, wake up, zhuzhu, wake up."

He sat up weakly and lifted the blanket. The horn outside had already resounded through the night sky, rapid and sharp, as if shouting. He heard the sound of people, the impact of spears and spears, and the neighing of war horses, but he did not hear the sound of war. "The horn sounded..." He exclaimed, "What's wrong, what happened?"

The personal soldier shook his head. It was obvious that he was not sure what was going on. At this time, a sound of footsteps sounded outside. His personal soldier team opened the curtain and walked in with a deep voice. "The head of the family, the brothers patrolling the mountain discovered Yi Feng's troops!"

"What's going on?" Xie Wendong suddenly heard that Huaihuang Army had arrived, and was still a little disbelief.

"Yi Feng is here." The captain of the personal soldiers emphasized, "They set out all the way while the night was in the dark, and they set up a formation less than three miles east of us, with thousands of people!"

The horn is still screaming and echoing.

"I asked the horse team to gather together and prepare to follow me." Although Xie Wendong was shocked, he did not expect that Yi Feng was not preparing for the battle in Huaihuang, but directly led his troops to the foot of Taoshan Mountain. However, he soon came back to his senses. Yi Feng suddenly arrived, which did not make him panic. On the contrary, this made him excited. Yi Feng was indeed as he expected, confident. "Get my armor." He shouted to his personal soldiers, "Hurry up, put on my armor."

When he put on his armor, his personal soldiers had already brought his war horse, and he turned over to the horse.

The young soldier asked nervously, "Master, can we win?"

Xie Wendong looked at the chaotic camp and showed a cunning smile on his face: "Of course, we can win."

The war drums sounded in the distance, low and dull.

The five hundred cavalry teams of Heishizhai were stepping on the stirrups. When Xie Wendong waved his spear to set off, the fog free in the air was gradually evaporating by the rising sun and rising sun.

In the morning light of dawn, the Huaihuang army opposite the camp at the foot of the mountain was like a blooming steel rose, with its spikes shining, but stood there quietly, motionless. They did not take advantage of the unpreparedness of the coalition forces at the foot of Taoshan Mountain to launch a raid. They just formed a formation and arranged there solemnly and silently!

Compared to the Huaihuang Army's unmoving mountains, the Taoshan Alliance Army camp was in chaos at this time.

Many people in the village were still sleeping and suddenly woke up by the horn of war and panicked. Many people were not even wearing clothes, and ran out of the tent barefoot with barefoot. But after running for a while, they saw the steel army arranged like copper walls opposite the mountain, and they retreated with pale faces.

After a while, the mountain soldiers in the camp finally discovered that although the Huaihuang army suddenly arrived, they did not attack immediately. They just stood there quietly, as if waiting for them to get up.

Lao Daozhazi and Zhang Cheng had led their respective troops to the foot of the mountain. Lao Daozhazi raised flags opposite Huaihuang Army. The spearmen lined up one after another, putting spears flat in their hands and pointing directly at Huaihuang Army. After the eight spear formations were finally arranged, Lao Daozhazi's gloomy face finally melted a little bit. With these eight spear formations, he had some idea of ​​the heart, and was no longer afraid that Huaihuang Army would enter the camp in one fell swoop.

Zhang Cheng was mobilizing the archer to establish a long-range position behind the spearman. The archers who gathered quickly were debugging the bowstrings, while pulling out the arrows from the archer and inserting them one by one on the ground in front of him to facilitate the use of arrows to draw arrows when they were on their hands. On both sides of the archer were infantry holding horizontal swords and various messy weapons, made up of people and horses outside the thirty-six villages to automatically move closer.

On the left wing of these infantrymen, the cavalry reserve team just agreed yesterday, all of which were cavalry, about 2,000 cavalry, and the three thousand horses had been agreed upon. At this time, the enemy was in front of many village leaders did not hand over the horses as promised and still brought them with them.

These camp leaders followed their cavalry with their own cavalry, surrounded by their men, two-thirds of the invaders, one-third of the cavalry, and more than six thousand people.

From a distance, at the foot of Taoshan Mountain, opposite the Huaihuang Army, the Qingshan Alliance Army continued to merge and rectify, and finally gradually formed a huge military formation. On the front were about 5,000 spearmen, archers, sword and shield soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers, on the left wing were more than 2,000 cavalry reserves, on the right wing were about 5,000 mountain village scattered soldiers, and behind were more than 2,000 cavalry led by Lao Daozhezi and several large village masters and nearly 5,000 infantrymen.

Twenty thousand to five thousand, the horses of various clans gathered into formation after stabilizing, and when they saw that they were obviously several times the number of soldiers and horses on their side, the panic in their hearts finally disappeared. But Lao Daozhazi and Zhang Cheng and other leaders did not feel much easier. Although they did not understand why the Huaihuang Army did not take advantage of the situation to attack, the momentum of the opponent's military formation still made them secretly shocked. They never thought that Huaihuang Army not only took the initiative to attack, but also was still so fierce. For a moment, Lao Daozhazi even suspected that the troops in front of them were not Huaihuang Army, but the elite Sui army borrowed from Yang Guang.

Here, the eagle of Zuoshan Xie Wendong was already sitting on the war horse with his spear tightly held. His eyes were looking at the silver-armored general under the two-meter-long flag opposite, and then turned to look at the figure of the old sword under the banner of the leader of the Central Army behind. He had made up his mind and had no hesitation! The strength of the Huaihuang Army was beyond his expectations. Even if the number of allies was several times that of the Huaihuang Army, he could see the result of the battle without fighting. Although the Huaihuang Army did not launch an attack immediately, they had already defended the retreat of the Allies and surrounded Taoshan.

Although there were many allies, they were a mess. Now that the road ahead was cut off, more than 20,000 people could not fly, and no one could escape. At this time, he couldn't help but sigh that he was moving quickly and had already secretly surrendered to the Huaihuang Army.

"When the fight started, I stared at the old knife handle." Xie Wendong turned to his personal captain and said.
Chapter completed!
