After hearing Xiao Cheng's words, everyone looked in the direction he pointed.

Not far away, they saw a group of cavalry dressed as Yun Jun. They didn't notice Xiao Cheng and the others at all, and they were approaching the city in front of them unhurriedly.

Diao Wenxuan looked at the cavalry figure in front, turned to look at Zhong Zizuo, who was tied up with a rope and had a bruised nose and face, and shouted:

"Boy, are those your people?"

Zhong Zizuo, with two big dark circles under his eyes, snorted coldly when he heard Diao Wenxuan's question, turned his head and ignored it.

After Diao Wenxuan finished speaking, he raised his fist as big as a sandbag and raised it in front of Zhong Zizuo, threatening:

"Hey, you damn fat guy, you deserve a beating, don't you?"

Obviously, Diao Wenxuan left a deep impression on Zhong Zizuo during this period. When he saw Diao Wenxuan waving his fists, he was frightened and trembled all over, feeling that the scars all over his body hurt again.

Zhong Zizuo didn't dare to pretend anymore, so he quickly opened his mouth and said:

"It should be...but I can't be sure about this. After all, the states and counties in the southwest are now in a mess. Once these clothes and armor are changed, who knows who is who! These general families in the southwest are the favorites.

Maybe they were the ones who used private soldiers to kill people and set fires."

Xiao Cheng waved his hand and said:

"As long as they are not from our Yun Kingdom, it doesn't matter who they are!"

Having said this, Xiao Cheng paused and said loudly:

"The generals will rush to kill the enemy in front. There is no need to fight to the death, as long as I make the battle bigger and bigger!"

Diao Wenxuan couldn't help but ask:

"Your Majesty, if there is such a big commotion, wouldn't the city's defenses be getting tighter?"

Xiao Cheng looked at him and chuckled:

"Then it's up to you! You take Zhong Zizuo to call the door, and say that we are the remaining garrison of Jiangyang County. We are here to rescue the Fengzhou prefect who was kidnapped by the gangsters. We happened to be attacked by the Yun army.

Come and help with the defense. It is best to use these people to deceive the city gate, but even if you cannot deceive it, there will be no loss."

When Diao Wenxuan heard this, he suddenly understood, cupped his hands and said:

"Yes! Hehe, Your Majesty still has many ideas!"

Xiao Cheng ignored Diao Wenxuan's flattery, pointed his riding whip forward, and shouted sternly:

"kill!"

Hearing this, the generals and commanders beside them all showed excitement on their faces, and shouted in unison with a stern and ruthless tone:

"kill!"

The next moment, accompanied by the neighing of the war horses, more than a thousand cavalry roared out, the sound of iron hooves was shocking, and they rushed straight towards the soldiers wearing Yun Army armor in front.

Also due to the different topography of the two sides, the line of sight of this team was limited. It was not until the sound of killing was heard that they realized something was wrong.

Seeing the cavalry wearing Xia Army uniforms charging toward them, the leading captain was stunned. He thought it was his Yun Army uniforms that had caused a misunderstanding, and he quickly explained loudly:

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! We actually..."

When the general next to the captain saw this, he grabbed him without saying a word and interrupted:

"You can't say! Withdraw first and make plans later."

At this moment, the captain remembered that he and others' mission was related to King Qi's plan, and he really couldn't reveal his identity!

The leading captain had no choice but to order his cavalry to gather, form a military formation to resist, and then look for opportunities to break out.

Diao Wenxuan led several cavalrymen, and together with Zhong Zizuo, they rode quickly to the city and shouted:

"Hurry up and open the city gate. We are the soldiers and horses left behind by Jiangyang County. We happened to encounter the Yun Army's attack and came here to help you defend!"

On the top of the city, a man wearing thick armor carefully looked at the cavalry wearing Xia and Yun armor fighting in front, then stuck his head out and shouted loudly:

"Why did the Jiangyang County garrison appear at the gate of our Rongzhou City? Where is the seal certificate you are waiting for!"

Xiao Cheng and Qi Wang Yu Zhaoling didn't even know each other at this time. However, they cooperated under some arrangement. The two of them joined forces and turned the entire southwestern states and counties upside down.

Under such a chaotic situation, the states and counties did not dare to put even their own Xia soldiers and horses into the city easily.

When Diao Wenxuan heard this, he pretended to be furious and said:

"We were ordered to rescue the Fengzhou prefect who was kidnapped by the rebel army. We happened to be here. Seeing you in Rongzhou being attacked by the Yun army, we kindly came to help. What do you mean by your tone at this time? Open the door quickly, don't you?

We must make our brothers feel chilled! Otherwise, if the Yun Army comes again later, no one will be able to help you!"

Having said this, Diao Wenxuan also dragged Zhong Zizuo over and shouted loudly to the man above the city gate:

"If you don't believe it, ask your eunuch to identify him!"

When the man on the top of the city heard this, he looked at Zhong Zizuo carefully, then pondered for a moment and said:

"General, I can't make the decision at this time. General, please wait a moment. I will report it to the superior officer for the decision!"

Diao Wenxuan snorted coldly, waved his hand and said:

"Go quickly!"

Zhong Zizuo, who was on the side, saw the man at the top of the city shrink back. He was stunned for a while, and then showed hesitation on his face.

"that……"

Diao Wenxuan turned to look at Zhong Zizuo who was hesitant to speak, frowned and said:

"What?"

Zhong Zizuo licked his dry lips, feeling extremely confused.

But when I thought that if a melee broke out all at once, I wouldn't be able to survive without the help of my own hands, I felt even more panicked.

Many images were already appearing in his mind.

One moment, he himself was hit by the rain of arrows, and died with thousands of arrows piercing his body. The next moment, the Xia army did not recognize him as the governor of Fengzhou, regarded him as an enemy, and hacked him to death...

After all, the desire to survive defeated the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and the country in his heart. Zhong Zizuo gritted his teeth suddenly and said:

"Well, let me tell you something, how about you let me go?"

Diao Wenxuan sneered, glanced at him, rolled his eyes, and said:

"Don't even think about it!"

"No, what I'm telling you can save you! Really!" Zhong Zizhuo said eagerly.

When Diao Wenxuan heard this, his face showed suspicion, and then he nodded and said:

"You tell me first and listen! If it's useful, I can plead with Your Majesty on your behalf!"

Zhong Zizuo hesitated again, but after looking at the city without any movement, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Okay, let me tell you. That thing just now... oh, come here!"

Diao Wenxuan moved his eyelids, then approached disapprovingly.

Following Zhong Zizuo's whisper, a strange flash appeared in Diao Wenxuan's eyes.

After a moment, Diao Wenxuan sat up straight and looked at him, shook his head and sneered:

"Nonsense! Come on, shut his mouth!"

Zhong Zizuo glared and said hurriedly:

"No, it's true. I didn't lie to you! That one just now...wuwuwu..."

Before Zhong Zizuo finished speaking, the cavalry beside him ignored his shouts, held him down, and stuffed a piece of unknown rag into his mouth, causing him to moan.

Voice.

Diao Wenxuan approached him, pulled out a knife, and pressed it against Zhong Zizuo's lower back.

Feeling the sharp blade at his lower back, Zhong Zizuo's figure suddenly froze.

"Tell you, be honest! If the people above see anything, I will kill you now!"

Zhong Zizhuo made two more "wuwu" sounds, as if he was defending himself. But looking at Diao Wenxuan's fierce eyes, he finally lowered his head and said no more.

Then look at the two warring parties in the distance.

The "Yun Army" over there just thought it was a misunderstanding. Xiao Cheng was just using them to act as a trick to deceive the city, and did not want to waste too much energy of his cavalry.

Both sides had no intention of fighting, so they only made contact with each other, then retreated and distanced themselves.

After a period of confrontation, Xiao Cheng turned to look at Rongzhou City and saw that the city gate was slowly opening.

He curved his mouth, showed a smile, waved and said:

"Withdraw!"

"yes!"

The cavalry retreated and headed towards Rongzhou City. The "Yun Army" also breathed a sigh of relief. In order to avoid continuing to fight with their colleagues, they turned and left without saying a word.

More than a thousand cavalry, led by Xiao Cheng, arrived at the city gate in the blink of an eye.

Diao Wenxuan showed a look of color on his face, cupped his hands towards Xiao Cheng and said:
To be continued...
