Bai Qin, Jingde and two thousand soldiers walked towards the east gate of Muzhou. While on the road, Bai Qin quietly said to Jingde: "General Jing, this is a good opportunity given by heaven. We can take this opportunity to unite with the Prime Minister Zu.

Set a trap and capture the Song army in one go. In this way, we can not only make up for our merits, but also make great contributions. Your Majesty will definitely reward us with great rewards."

When Jingde heard this, he quickly said, "No."

"What's wrong?" Bai Qin asked.

Jingde said: "Didn't the general see that Fang La's energy is almost over, and his troops have almost been wiped out. The remaining troops are less than 100,000. Moreover, because Fang La changed the original intention of the uprising,

The soldiers were not as loyal to him as before, and the morale of the army was very disintegrating.

On the other hand, the imperial army, the heroes and soldiers were brave, with high morale and unstoppable. With Fang La's men, he could not resist at all, and he was destined to be captured by the imperial army.

If we betray the court army again and help Fang La's army deal with the court army, we will be doomed once Fang La is wiped out.

Therefore, it is better to help the court steadily eliminate Fang La while now. This will not only reduce our sins and allow us to be recognized by the court, but also make contributions. Isn’t this much better than continuing to be loyal to Fang La?”

Although Jingde's martial arts skills are not as good as Bai Qin, his mind is much more flexible than him. After seeing Hua Ju, Sun An, Guan Sheng and other generals, as well as those soldiers, he realized that Fang La's destruction was already

If something irreversible, there is only a way out of death to continue following him, so I sincerely want to take this opportunity to surrender to the court, so that I can not only save my life, but also take this opportunity to officially become a member of the court.

After hearing this, Bai Qin thought about Jingde's words carefully and felt that it made sense, and said, "What you said is not without reason, but Prime Minister Zu has always been good to us. If we betray him like this, it would be a bit unreasonable."

Jingde said: "Zu Shiyuan is good to us, that's because we two are useful to him. If we two are useless to him, will he be good to us?

To put it bluntly, he just wanted to borrow all our abilities to do things for him. If we two have no ability or have not done what he has taught, would he still treat us like before?

Not to mention the distance, just take this incident as an example. We lost Fuyang County, Tonglu County, and now we lost Wulongling. If we both go back to see him now, he will definitely take us two.

If you kill it, you will never feel any mercy."

Bai Qin thought that the letter Zu Shiyuan had already told him clearly that if he lost Wulongling again, he would definitely kill them. He then thought about Jing De's analysis.

The little guilt I felt for Zu Shiyuan was immediately gone.

"You said it right, because I have too shallow knowledge and have not thought through this. Fortunately, you reminded me, otherwise we would probably be done with Fang La."

Bai Qin took a breath and said, "Brother Jing, I'm ashamed. Although I am the commander, I'm not far behind you in terms of knowledge and strategy. Take it just now on Wulong Ridge, if I could

Listen to your words, send more people to check, and things won’t be like this.”

"The general doesn't have to do this."

Jingde said: "As the saying goes, good fortune depends on misfortune, and misfortune comes from good fortune. Although we were captured this time, it is not a bad thing for us, because we can take this opportunity to surrender to the court.

From then on, I will be able to make achievements in the future, and be appointed as a general, and glorify the ancestors, wouldn’t it be much better than being a thief now."

Bai Qin nodded slightly and said, "Well, according to you, we are indeed a blessing in disguise."

Jingde said: "So, generals should not take this matter to heart anymore. We will become generals of the court in the future. We should think more about how to arrest more rebels and make contributions."

Bai Qin said: "When it comes to making meritorious contributions, why don't we two personally arrest Zu Shiyuan? He is Fang La's right prime minister and his identity is extraordinary. If he can catch him, it will be a great achievement."

Jing De agreed and said, "The general's proposal is good. We will arrest him after the army enters the city."

"OK."

Half an hour later, the two men and two thousand soldiers saw the gate of the East City. The general on the city wall hurriedly scolded: "Stop, dare to shoot you one step forward to death."

Bai Qin recognized the general through the fire on the city wall and shouted: "Is Fan Anhai in the city?"

Fan Anhai heard Bai Qin's voice very familiar and said, "Are you Commander Bai?"

"Yes, it's me."

Bai Qin rode alone to the city gate, looked up at the city tower, Fan Anhai carefully identified it, and saw that it was Bai Qin, and asked in surprise: "Bai Instructor, aren't you guarding Wulongling?

, Why come back late at night?”

Bai Qin sighed intentionally and said, "Don't mention it, Wulongling has been lost. Deputy Commander Jing and I fought to the death to fight and brought some brothers out. You should open the door quickly and let me in. I have important situations.

Report to the Prime Minister that if it is too late, the Song army may have come."

When Fan Anhai heard that the Song army was coming, he was a little panicked for a moment. He didn't even bother to ask Zu Shiyuan for instructions and said, "You wait, I'll open the door for you right away."

Then, he immediately ordered the soldiers guarding the city gate to open the city gate and let Bai Qin and the others enter the city.

After about a minute, the city gate slowly opened. Bai Qin waved his hand at Jing De and the others behind him. Jing De brought the soldiers over and followed him into the city.

Fan Anhai hurriedly ran down from the city tower and asked Bai Qin: "Commander Bai, where has the Song army been?"

"They have... arrived!"

Bai Qin suddenly raised the gun in his hand, stabbed Fan Anhai's throat with a "pop", and then shouted: "Brothers, do it."

"Kill!"

The two thousand soldiers, except for two hundred people who were left behind to kill the guards of the city gate, all of their soldiers followed the steps on both sides of the city gate to the city wall to deal with the guards above.

Outside the city, Hua Ju had already brought his troops. Seeing that the city gate had opened, he immediately ordered: "Apart from leaving a thousand people to guard the war horses, all the others rushed in."

"Run!"

Guan Sheng, Sun An, Wen Da, Luan Tingyu, Zhang Qing, Xue Yuanhui and other generals led 18,000 cavalrymen to rush towards the East City Gate quickly.

Since the guards on the city wall were entangled by soldiers who came into the city with Bai Qin and Jingde, the cavalry were not shot by bows and arrows.

And in order to facilitate entry into the city, the cavalry did not line up horizontally, but formed a long snake. Therefore, there was no blockage at the city gate, and they all entered the city quickly like a train drilling a cave.

After the cavalry entered the city, Xue Yuanhui, Chen Gang and Chen Ze quickly took people to clear out the soldiers of the East City Gate who were fighting. Sun An took people to the West City, Guan Sheng took people to the North City, Luan Tingyu took people to the South City, Wenda, Zhang Qing led people to eliminate those who fled.

Bai Qin and Jingde saw that the army had entered the city and the situation at the East City Gate had been controlled, and then the two of them headed towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zu Shiyuan had not yet rested, because after receiving Bai Qin's request for help during the day, he immediately went to find Fang La and asked him to send reinforcements to Wulongling for reinforcements.

But Fang La had only 60,000 soldiers and horses around him. In addition, he received a letter from Fang Hau yesterday that the Song army had seized Yuling Pass and was about to attack Shezhou. Fang La sent He Conglong to bring 10,000 troops in front of him. Go to support, now there are only 50,000 troops left by his side. He was afraid that he would be sent out and would not have any troops to protect him at that time, so he refused to send troops and asked Zushi to send people from the defenders of Muzhou. reinforce.

However, the entire Muzhou guards were only 30,000. Bai Qin and Jingde had brought 10,000 troops, and Muzhou only had 20,000 troops left. If Muzhou was sent again, it would be empty. If it were If Wulong Ridge cannot be defended, Muzhou will face the situation where there are no enough troops to defend.

Therefore, he was so worried about this that he couldn't sleep at night.

Just as he was thinking about this, suddenly there was a deafening cry outside, which scared him so much that he hurriedly ran out of the house and asked, "Where is the cry of the cry?"

The servant was about to go inquire, but at this time he saw five generals running hurriedly. Zu Shishi saw that it was his marshal Tan Gao, the guard general Wu Yingxing, the guard general Xiahou Cheng, the governor Chen Shou, and the assistant secretary Huan Yi.

"Prime Minister, it's not good, the Song army has come in." Tan Gao said in panic.

"What!"

Zu Shiyuan's face changed drastically and he asked, "Aren't the Song army still in Wulongling? Why did he suddenly arrive in Muzhou?"

"Bai Qin and Jingde are the two who are stingy inside and outside, they brought the Song army into the city." Tan Gao said. The soldiers who had already run back from the East City told the story.

Zu Shiyuan's face turned blue and said, "These two damn things are in vain to cultivate them in vain. They actually defected to the Song army to deal with us. If I catch these two rebels, I must They were broken into pieces."

Chen Shou said: "The Prime Minister is not talking about this now. Muzhou can no longer be saved. Let's find a way to escape to His Majesty Qingxi."

Zu Shiyuan knew that the situation was hopeless and it was useless to continue staying here, so he followed them out of the mansion and got on the horse to escape.

But at this moment, two generals suddenly rode towards them on horseback. Zushi looked away and found that it was Bai Qin and Jingde.

Bai Qin and Jingde were originally here to capture Zu Shiyuan, but unexpectedly, Tan Gao, Wu Yingxing, Xiahou Cheng, Chen Shou and Huan Yi were there, and they were secretly happy, because if they could catch them all, this would be a bad one. A small credit.

Zu Shiyuan saw the two of them and was angry and scolded: "Bai Qin, Jingde, you two are eating things outside, what do I have to do to you? You want to betray me and your majesty. ?”

Bai Qin did not scold him back, and said in a plain tone: "Fang La established himself in the court and committed an unforgivable crime. We were deceived by him before and mistakenly entered the thief's way, but now we have repented, turned to justice, and obtained the court. Forgiveness. Now all the heavenly soldiers have entered the city, and Muzhou is under the control of the imperial army, and all the rebels cannot escape and die.
