The enemy killed people in front of him because they obviously didn't want Ruhua to tell the truth.

So why did Zhao Wenhui kill a fifth-grade official?

Fan Xin felt as if he had touched the edge of the truth, and was just a hair away from breaking through the thin layer of window paper.

"President Fan, the murderer ran too fast and I didn't catch up with him." Qiao Feiyan came back from the darkness at some point.

Closing his flowery eyes, Fan Xin stood up and said.

"It doesn't matter. The murderer can kill people under our noses, so he must be ready to escape."

"Our most important task at the moment is to guard the Governor's Mansion and wait for the arrival of reinforcements."

"Are you saying that Zhao Wenhui will continue to mobilize the garrison to attack the governor's mansion?" Qiao Feiyan said in surprise.

Fan Xin clasped his hands behind his back and sighed: "Yes, since Zhao Wenhui dares to attack the governor's mansion, he will definitely not stop until he achieves his goal."

"When he finds that two thousand sergeants are not enough to capture the Governor's Mansion, he will definitely mobilize the army stationed in the Songmo area."

"I just hope he can take the overall situation into consideration and not let the Khitans take advantage of the loopholes."

Fan Xin knew very well that the Khitan leader Li Jinzhong was an ambitious man, and he would definitely use this opportunity to incite the tribes to join him in attacking Yingzhou and betraying the Tang Dynasty.

The current defense is just an appetizer on the eve of the big battle, and the real fierce battle is yet to come.

For a while, the huge backyard was eerily quiet, with only the sound of the bonfire burning.

……

The Governor's Mansion, outside the gate.

Zhao Wenhui stared at his subordinates with a livid face.

"Trash, a bunch of trash! There are so many of you that you can't even attack a small governor's mansion. What use do I have for you, the governor!"

"Grand Governor, it's not that the general is incompetent, it's that those Qianniu Guards are so powerful that our brothers are no match for them." Someone whispered.

"You still dare to quibble, come on, drag me down and chop me down!"

"Grand Commander, wait!"

Instructing the guards to retreat, Zhuge Xuanming spoke out.

"The terrain of the Governor's Mansion is small, and there is a strong tendency for one man to be a barrier for thousands of people. In addition, these Qianniu Guards are all well-trained imperial guards, so it makes sense that the brothers are not opponents."

"Students think that you can dispatch an elite force of 3,000 people from Songmo Camp to the city to put down the rebellion. In this way, we can capture the Governor's Mansion in three days at most."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Wenhui agreed with deep understanding.

"Mr. Zhuge is right. Our advantage is that we have a large number of troops. There is no need to remain in a stalemate here."

"But three thousand men are not enough. In my opinion, it is better to deploy 70% of the troops to give Fan Xin a thunderous attack."

When they heard that Zhao Wenhui was going to deploy 70% of the army to guard against the Khitans, everyone present changed their expressions.

"Isn't this inappropriate, Governor? The Khitans are ambitious. If they take the opportunity to rebel, wouldn't we be in a passive position?"

"If the court is to blame, none of us can afford the consequences."

Zhao Wenhui was secretly annoyed because the war was not going well. When he saw that the generals did not agree with his idea, he became furious.

"A bunch of trash who are greedy for life and afraid of death mobilize a large army to attack the governor's mansion. It will only take three days at most to end the battle."

"In such a short period of time, do you think that coward Li Jinzhong dares to raise troops to attack Yingzhou?"

"The governor's words are here today. As long as Zhao Wenhui's name is still hanging over Yingzhou, even if he borrows a hundred courage from Li Jinzhong, he will not dare to make any mistakes!"

"Stop talking nonsense, immediately order the Songmo army to enter Yingzhou to suppress the rebellion. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"

Seeing that Governor Zhao had made up his mind, the generals had no choice but to send messengers to the Songmo Camp.

When the messengers appeared in the camp with fish charms for mobilizing troops, the generals did not dare to delay and hurriedly beat the gathering drum to convey Zhao Wenhui's message to the generals.

And that night he led the army to Yingzhou to counter the rebellion.

This scene immediately attracted the attention of many people. The common people spontaneously came to the official road and curiously looked at the army leaving the camp.

"I dare to ask my fellow villagers, what are the troops doing in such a hurry?" A rugged Khitan man wearing a sticky hat asked the Han people on the side.

Since the Khitan surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, people from both sides often traded things together, so the old man didn't think much about his inquiry.

"It seems that there is a fight in Yingzhou City, and Governor Zhao does not have enough manpower, so he specially sent people to the camp to recruit troops."

"Look at this situation, there must be tens of thousands of people at least."

After hearing this, the Khitan man was thoughtful.

The only one who could enable Zhao Wenhui to mobilize troops like this was the governor's office. Could it be that there was another conflict between the two parties? "

Out of caution, he did not leave in a hurry, but did not return to Yazhang until the Songmo army had completely withdrawn from the Songmo area.

As soon as he entered the door, he sat on the big tiger-skin chair and laughed.

"Hahaha, God is really helping me, God is helping me."

Seeing his face glowing red, Sun Wanrong put down his books and said with a smile.

"Ji Zhong, what makes you so happy?"

Li Jinzhong leaned over and said with a smile: "Today I went out to inquire about the situation and found that 70% of the Tang army stationed in the Songmo camp had withdrawn. It was said that Zhao Wenhui had transferred it into the city to attack the governor's mansion."

"What are you talking about? Seventy percent of the Tang army in Songmo Camp has been withdrawn?" Sun Wanrong was startled and stood up from the tiger leather chair suddenly, looking at Li Jinzhong excitedly.

The Tang army that had been stationed in Songmo was like a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the Khitans, making them dare not move even though they were tortured.

I didn't expect that Zhao Wenhui, a fool, would move him away at will.

Li Jinzhong nodded with emotion.

"This leader did not expect Zhao Wenhui to be so short-sighted. In order to compete with a governor, he even ignored the safety of Beiting. However, this just gave us a chance."

"Brother, you immediately summon the leaders of the Khitan tribes and tell them that all troops must be assembled before dark."

"As soon as the third watch arrives, we will lead the Khitan army to eat up the Tang army stationed in the Songmo area, and then attack Yingzhou to kill Zhao Wenhui!"

Sun Wanrong patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, the Khitan tribes have long been dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty. I promise that they will respond collectively this time." After speaking, he opened the curtain and walked out.

In less than three hours, more than 10,000 Khitan cavalry were arrayed on the battlefield, looking excitedly at Li Jinzhong on the stage.

Li Jinzhong said solemnly as his eyes swept over these people.

"Khitan warriors, the Tang people have always been riding on our heads to dominate and insult our people at will."

"Now is the time to avenge your shame. Do you dare to follow me into Yingzhou City and kill all those hateful Han people?"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"it is good!"

Li Jinzhong shouted loudly, slowly pulled out the scimitar from his waist and pointed it at Yingzhou, and said energetically.

"Khitan warriors, kill them!"

next moment.

Nearly ten thousand cavalrymen rushed like a flood towards the Tang army stationed in the Songmo camp...
