Chapter six hundred and twelve escape
Zheng Zheng, the Lord Zheng, was commanding the Imperial Guards to attack the Changdeli defense line on the high ground south of Changyulei. Both sides suffered great losses these days, but Zheng Zheng believed that this time he would unify Annan Kingdom and complete the unfinished career of his ancestors and fathers for generations.
"Oh, our soldiers picked up the notes passed down from the above under Changdeliu, and gave them to you." The generals of the Zheng family who were supervising the battle in front handed the notes they picked up to Zheng Jian.
"What the hell is the Ruan family doing? They don't fight hard, but instead send a note? Could it be that they want to surrender?" Zheng Jian said to himself while taking the note.
After reading the content on the note, Zheng Yanxi was overwhelmed by Yan Kai: "Hahaha, the Jiuzhou Army really lived up to expectations. As expected, he betrayed the Ruan family as agreed, and also counterattacked Hoi'an Port, posed a threat to Fuchun City. See if Ruan Phucxi still has the intention to continue to block us at Changdeluo this time."
"Master, please forgive me for taking the liberty. My subordinates have also read the contents of these notes. The Ruan family requested a temporary truce with us and jointly deal with the Jiuzhou Army landing in Hoi An Port. Don't they know that the Jiuzhou Army has been bribed by us? They are so stupid that they seek help from us." The general who sent the notes said.
"How could they think that the Jiuzhou Army, which they thought they were highly valued, would be betray them? And they were bribed by us. It seems that the capture of Fuchun City is just around the corner..."
As Zheng Jie said, he seemed to think of something, and his voice gradually became low and finally came to an abrupt end.
"What's wrong with you, Lord?" The general of the Zheng family asked when he saw something strange about Zheng Jie.
"Oh no, the Ruan family's note reminds me!" Zheng Jian's face turned pale, "Go and find Manager Jia, I want to confirm!"
"Shopkeeper Jia?" the general of the Zheng family asked in confusion.
"There are the few big merchants who were contacted by the Jiuzhou Army. They were in the barracks." Zheng Jian urged, "If they don't come, catch them, hurry!"
"Yes!" Although the generals of the Zheng family could not understand why Zheng Jian suddenly found the contact person of Jiuzhou Army here, Jun Ling was dictatorial and he just led his troops to ask for someone.
In a pretty good camp tent in the camp, there were originally several contacts from the Jiuzhou Army, who brought firearms to support the Zheng family from Guangzhou Prefecture, so they were treated well in the Zheng family camp.
After the Zheng family led their men into the military tent, they found that the military tent was empty and there was no contact person from the Jiuzhou Army.
"Where are the people from the Jiuzhou Army?" The general of the Zheng family looked for the captain who came to see the guard's tent with a dark face.
"When the general said they were going to the front line early in the morning to inspect it, and they also said it was the order of the Lord. The young men did not dare to stop them, so they asked the two soldiers to protect them." The captain didn't know what serious happened, but when he saw that the superior looked so bad, he couldn't help but walk on thin ice.
"Where are those two soldiers?"
"They haven't come back yet..."
"Bastard!" The general of the Zheng family slapped the team leader in the face. The team leader was in pain but dared not speak out.
Losing traces of several contacts from the Jiuzhou Army, the Zheng general did not immediately take people to Changyulei. The camp was between Changyulei and Changdeli. To the west was the mountains and forests, to the east was the sea, and to the south was the Changdeli in the fierce battle. If the people of the Jiuzhou Army wanted to escape, they had to go through Changyulei.
When the Zheng generals rushed to Changyulei without stopping, they found that several people from the Jiuzhou Army had already used Zheng Jian's order to leave Changyulei. When they passed the customs, the two soldiers who protected them were missing and most of them were silenced.
"Damn it!" Zheng's general whipped the city wall of Changyulei with a horse whip. After his anger subsided a little, he said to his subordinates, "Let's go back."
At the mouth of the river, there was a fishing boat waiting for Zhang Yuan and the others who had successfully escaped. When Zhang Yuan and his group got on the boat, they breathed a sigh of relief. The fishing boat loosened the rope tied to the wooden stakes on the shore and went down the river.
Wei Long sat on the wooden chair and poured tea into the teacup: "I'm so thirsty. This time it's really dangerous. Fortunately, we're moving fast enough. I said Zhang Yuan, can you not take this risk in the future? You have to follow Zheng Jian to the front line."
"How can you get a tiger's son if you don't enter the tiger's den? How can you eliminate his concerns if you don't take a hostage in Zheng Jian's barracks?" Zhang Yuan sat down without hesitation and took a grass next to him and fanned the wind.
"This time we carefully arranged and played with the Ruan and Zheng families. I don't know how they would deal with it if they knew the truth? If I were me, I would probably just jump into this river and drowned." Wei Long said.
"The worst outcome for us is that they join forces to deal with us. Unfortunately, we also sent two troops, so they will only fight for everyone. Zheng Jian heard that our Independent Corps troops were sent to Nanguan and Honghe, and would definitely return to Shenglong City to fight to the death with the Independent Corps. The Ruan family went south to rescue Fuchun City." Zhang Yuan speculated.
"I have seen many soldiers of the Zheng family in the Zheng family's barracks these days in the battle to attack Changdelei, and their fighting spirit and morale have been almost wiped out. Our Independent Corps has been trained for a year and their morale is in full swing. The ending can be seen." Although Wei Long is the head of intelligence, you can also imagine the result of the Zheng family meeting the Independent Corps.
"It's one thing to be able to win, but it's another thing to win." Zhang Yuan said.
"Hey, we made another contribution this time. I have to say that this feeling of calculating others is really pleasant. I wish I could do it a few more times." Wei Long suddenly poured a few cups of tea before quenching his thirst a little.
"Hey hey hey, you are one of the top leaders of the Intelligence Department. It's really creepy to say such things." Zhang Yuan shouted.
"I'm just kidding." Wei Long said embarrassedly.
The fishing boats floated down the river, and no one thought that the seemingly ordinary people on these fishing boats planned to plot against a overlord.
Boom! Muzhai collapsed and shattered under the shelling of artillery! The Zheng family soldiers who were originally shooting at the Jiuzhou Army on Muzhai fell down with Muzhai before they could escape.
"The Jiuzhou Army attacked in!" The Zheng family soldiers trapped in the Muzhai fell into panic.
Muzhaizhai Gate, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, was as fragile as straws after the autumn harvest under the shelling of advanced artillery of the Jiuzhou Army.
"Surrender and don't kill!" The soldiers of Jiuzhou Army rushed in with muskets, and divided into several groups to surround the Zheng family soldiers in the Muzhai, calling the local dialect that they had just learned.
Chang Yi, the commander of the Independent Corps, came in surrounded by his own soldiers and looked around the Zheng family soldiers and the people living in Muzhai: "If you hand over the weapons, you will be under the management of the Jiaozhi Governor's Office in the future."
