Chapter 9
"Hei Si, take your life!"

Seeing that his confidant Xu Ding died on the battlefield, Qian Zhenpeng was about to burst into tears, his anger surged, he cursed at Li Yuanba, and slapped his horse and wielded his sword to kill Li Yuanba.

"Hey, good time, it just so happens that Xu Ding can't help but fight, grandpa, I haven't had enough yet!"

As he spoke, Li Yuanba slapped his horse and danced with double hammers to meet Qian Zhenpeng.

Wow!
The sound of gold and iron clashing suddenly sounded, and the sword and hammer collided in one place, and the flames splashed everywhere.

Qian Zhenpeng only felt numbness in his arms, and took two or three steps back again and again. Then he reined in his horse, stabilized his figure, and glanced at the black-faced Li Yuanba in surprise.

Qian Zhenpeng prides himself on his superior martial arts skills. Although he is not among the top ten military generals in the South, he thinks he is much stronger than the Shuibo grass bandits in Liangshanbo.

In fact, in the Water Margin, Qian Zhenpeng was able to fight for [-] rounds against the leader of the Five Tigers of Liangshan, Broadsword Guan Sheng, which is considered a good martial art.

But Qian Zhenpeng was unlucky, he met Li Yuanba, king of Zhao in the Western Mansion, a figure at the door god level, at least more let down than Da Dao Guan Sheng.

As soon as they fought, Qian Zhenpeng felt a little timid after seeing how powerful Li Yuanba was, and secretly thought that he was not an opponent, so he even thought of turning his horse around and going back.

But if he is a majestic Changzhou envoy, wouldn't he be ridiculed if he went back like this.

Due to face, Qian Zhenpeng couldn't move forward or retreat, but his expression was a little embarrassed.

"Why don't you fight anymore? You are better than Xu Ding, and you should be able to last a few more rounds under my hands."

Li Yuanba held the double hammers, reined in the horse holding the moon, and said jokingly.

Hearing Li Yuanba's sarcastic remarks, Qian Zhenpeng was annoyed, but he couldn't beat the opponent, so he could only stare at Li Yuanba from a long distance.

"Hmph, as an envoy of the Changzhou government, how could I fight against grassroots bandits like you?"

Qian Zhenpeng stiffened his neck and forced himself an excuse.

Qian Zhenpeng stood in front of the formation of the two armies with a big horse and a golden sword, deliberately staying a little far away from Li Yuanba.

"Waiting for the grass bandits in the water, you don't know the time, you don't think about the king's hegemony, and you go to subjugate the incompetent and stupid king, and work for Cai Jingtong and other treacherous ministers, conquering our Southern Kingdom Shenggong, you really don't know how to live or die."

"This general sees that you still have some courage, so I don't care about you like you. If you are willing to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and return to Shenggong's command, this general will guarantee you an official promotion and countless honors and wealth."

Qian Zhenpeng thought he was persuading him with good words, and watched Li Yuanba talking endlessly.

The more Li Yuanba heard it, the more sad he felt, and he immediately shouted angrily, interrupting Qian Zhenpeng's words.

"Wow ya ya ya..."

"I'm angry, I'm an ignorant thief, stop talking nonsense, and see the truth with a fist if you have the ability!"

Li Yuanba snarled angrily, and commanded a thousand back Wei army to charge, while he himself was the first soldier, led by a horse, and charged towards Qian Zhenpeng.

"Quick, quick, withdraw to the city!"

Qian Zhenpeng saw that Li Yuanba would attack at the slightest disagreement, he was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart, he hurriedly turned his horse's head and commanded the army horses to retreat to Changzhou City.

When Li Yuanba led the army to kill, the city gate was closed, and arrows and locusts shot down from the city wall. Li Yuanba had no choice but to lead the army and horses to retreat.

After Li Yuanba led the army and horses to retreat, seeing that there was no hope of attacking the city, he set up camp outside Changzhou City, waiting for Chao Tian's main army and horses.

At this time, Qian Zhenpeng was frightened by Li Yuanba, so he hurriedly arranged some defensive matters for Jin Jie, and then returned to the prefect's mansion.

Although Jin Jie was a general of the Southern Kingdom, he was forced to do nothing, and his heart was still toward the court of the Great Song Dynasty. Seeing how brave Li Yuanba was, the General of the Song Army today, his heart began to come alive.

Jin Jie made simple arrangements for the defense of the city wall, then returned home to discuss with his wife Qin Yulan.

The husband and wife sat opposite each other in the bedroom, talking to each other.

"Now the Heavenly Soldiers of the Song Dynasty have arrived at the city. Today, the general of the Song Army is very powerful. Qian Zhenpeng didn't even hold on for a round in his hands, and Xu Ding was also beheaded by him."

"There is a shortage of money and food in Changzhou City. Once the Song Army surrounds it, Changzhou City will be destroyed overnight. If the Song Army really breaks through the city, we will all become ghosts under the knife."

Jin Jie's wife, Qin Yulan, is originally a lady of the family. She has been familiar with a subset of classics and history since she was a child, and she is full of knowledge.

Qin Yulan smiled slightly when she heard her husband Jin Jie's words, and said: "My husband has always been loyal, and surrendering to Fang La's rebels is just an expedient measure. Stepping into the step of abandoning the dark and turning to the bright, I took that Qian Zhenpeng and surrendered to the Song Army."

"Then Qian Zhenpeng is very skilled in martial arts. As a husband, I don't think I am an opponent. Besides, the army and horses in the city are all under Qian Zhenpeng's command. How can I suppress it?" Jin Jie said with a wry smile.

After hearing what her husband said, Qin Yulan also felt that this matter was a bit tricky.

After thinking about it, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Your husband, don't worry, I have a plan that will definitely help the Song army break through Changzhou City."

"You just need to take advantage of the middle of the night when no one is there, and with a humble voice, write a letter in Yinye to explain your original intentions. At that time, tie the letter to the arrow and shoot it out of the city."

"When the time comes, you will join forces with the Song army. You will lead the troops to fight against the Song army tomorrow, pretend to be defeated, and then lure them into the city. At that time, Changzhou City will be broken. Your husband will be the first to break the city."

Hearing his wife Qin Yulan's plan, Jin Jie was very happy, so she decided to follow the plan and write a letter with her own plan written on it.

Lianye took advantage of no one to notice, drew his bow and set up an arrow, and shot towards the Song army camp outside the city.

Dusk is approaching.

Chao Tian had already led the army to the city of Changzhou.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Chao Tian and other generals were in it, discussing the strategy of attacking Changzhou.

"If it wasn't for the Wu Zhi system that made Qian Zhenpeng run fast today, I would have killed him with a pair of hammers, and saved so much trouble."

Sitting next to him, Li Yuanba muttered angrily.

"Heitantou, could it be that you couldn't beat Qian Zhenpeng, so you made up your own excuses."

The red-haired ghost Liu Tang sat down next to Li Yuanba and joked.

Hearing Liu Tang's words, Li Yuanba immediately stood up and glared.

"Fart! I will be afraid of him. That bastard ran away from him as soon as he fought. I can't even catch up with him. Next time, I have to chop him!"

Seeing that Li Yuanba and Liu Tang were bickering again, Chao Tian gave a wry smile and interrupted them.

"Brother Tian'er, the city of Changzhou is high and the pond is deep. Our army has only six thousand soldiers and horses. They can only be outsmarted, not attacked by force."

Lin Chong, the head of the leopard, frowned and said in a deep voice.

Chao Tian smiled slightly, looking confident, and said immediately: "Teacher Lin, please be patient and don't be impatient. The city of Changzhou can be destroyed overnight, and it is not worth mentioning. Changzhou can be captured in two days."

Everyone was a little puzzled when they heard that Chao Tian was so confident, and then they heard that Chao Tian planned to come out.

"Brother Tian'er!"

Just when Chao Tian was about to speak, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside and the voice of Bai Sheng from the White Rat.

As soon as Chao Tian heard Bai Sheng's voice, he burst out laughing and said, "The strategy to break the city is in Bai Sheng's hands."

"Oh, I'm so anxious!"

Seeing Chao Tian's trickery, Li Yuanba beside him scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, and kept looking out with a pair of tiger eyes, wishing he could rush out and catch Bai Sheng.

At this moment, Bai Sheng, the white day mouse, hurried in, holding a feather arrow in his hand.

"Brother Tian'er, just now one of the scouts under his command developed a feathered arrow outside Changzhou City. There was a letter tied to it, which was written by the general of the Song army. I couldn't make up my mind, so I sent it to Brother Tian'er for review."

While talking, Bai Sheng of the White Day Mouse handed the letter on the feather arrow to Chao Tian.

When Chao Tian got the letter, he laughed. He was familiar with the plot of Water Margin, so he naturally knew that this letter was the reason for Jin Jie's entry.

Open the letter and read it carefully, as expected, it was written by Jin Jie, on the battlefield tomorrow, the inside and the outside will cooperate to break through Changzhou.
