From Yongcheng to Qi, there are three cities to go through, because there is Tian Ye Tianying holding the token of the king of Qi to open the way, the next night, three thousand elites from the Qinglang camp, relying on bluffing and deception all the way, swaggered to the downstairs of the city gate of Qidu.

There are two generals guarding the capital of Qi, Zhang Yu and Tian Jin, both of whom are well-known generals in Qi.Zhang Yu is on duty today, he is shrewd and cautious, and very good at strategy.Zhang Yu was not from aristocratic background, but worked hard from the bottom step by step with his military achievements. He and Tian Ying Tianye belonged to two completely different camps.

Hearing that Tian Ye Tianying had returned from Muyun Pass with reinforcements, Zhang Yu pressed his sword and came to the city gate tower to check the situation.

"This person was single-handedly picked up by Duan Hou and Duan Xiyue. He is a stubborn stubble and very difficult to deal with. Your Highness... Be careful."

Tian Ying was held hostage by Sui Heng all the way, the clothes on his back were drenched in cold sweat, and his temples were also dripping water because of nervousness and guilt.

Sui Heng was dressed in the military armor of a lieutenant general of the Qi State, and followed Tian Ying closely. His eyes did not move, and in the dark night, he showed a calmness and sharpness that was different from ordinary people.

Ping Ping said: "You just do what you should do, the rest is up to you."

As soon as he spoke, Zhang Yu's figure had already appeared on the city gate tower.Zhang Yusheng had a heroic and cold face unique to warriors, his eyes were like lightning, and he swept across the three thousand cavalry gathered in front of the city gate expressionlessly.

His gaze finally fell on Tian Ying, and he asked, "The Sui Kingdom has not withdrawn its troops yet, why did General Tian come back suddenly? Is there an edict from the King?"

Tian Ying and Zhang Yu never deal with each other.

Tian Ying was already nervous, and hearing the other party's sharp questioning, both sides couldn't help trembling.He had already been tied to the thief ship by Sui Heng, and helped the Sui soldiers to steal the three cities, and now he was facing Zhang Yu, his deadly enemy, once he was noticed by the other party, he would die even worse.

Tian Ying straightened her body and said with a firm voice: "The Sui Kingdom and the Jiang Kingdom have already negotiated a truce. The three thousand troops staying there is meaningless except to waste food and grass. Therefore, we withdrew our troops early and returned."

"General Tian seems very nervous?"

Zhang Yu said sharply.

Tian Ying's thighs trembled again, and immediately felt that the scimitar on his back was getting tighter, and the blade almost pierced through the armor and stuck to his skin.

He bite the bullet and said: "The journey is too fast, I am so tired that my mouth is dry and I sweat a little."

Zhang Yu didn't speak any more, and didn't ask to open the city gate. Instead, his eyes moved lightly, and fell on Tian Ye beside Tian Ying.

Tian Ye was no better than Tian Ying. He was tightly held by two other generals of the Qinglang Camp who were dressed as personal guards. If he said a wrong word, his head and neck would be separated immediately.

"indeed so."

Tianye opened his mouth stiffly.

Zhang Yu ordered the soldiers to go down to verify the tokens.

Tian Ying and Tian Ye each showed their tokens, and after the verification, Zhang Yu suddenly said, "Please show me the roster, both of you."

The roster is the list of all the soldiers who went out this time.

Zhang Yu said: "Recently the situation is unstable, I have to be more cautious, I hope you two will forgive me."

Sui Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking, this Zhang Yu is indeed a smart and difficult to deal with.

"give him."

Sui Heng said in a low voice.

Tian Ying took out a roster from his arms and handed it to the soldier in charge of verifying the tokens.The soldiers rushed up to the tower and handed the roster to Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu turned to a page at random, clicked on a name, and looked down.

-

"General!"

In the middle of the night, the guard of Yongcheng was awakened from his sleep.

"what happened?"

"It's not good, general. A large number of Sui soldiers suddenly gathered outside the gate. There were at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. They came to the gate again to arrest the traitor named Chen Qi. They also said that if the general did not open the city gate again, they would We will forcibly attack the city!"

The guard was shocked, he didn't expect that the situation would suddenly develop to such a serious level in just one day.

"Chen Qi? Who is that?"

"I heard that it was the Right Sima of the Sui Kingdom who somehow offended the Crown Prince of the Sui Kingdom and fled to our Qi Kingdom."

The guard quickly put on his armor, listened as he walked, took up his saber and came to the top of the city gate. Looking at it from a distance, he saw that the flames outside the pass were soaring into the sky, and there were densely packed black cavalry outside Yongcheng. There is no end in sight.

The overwhelming murderous aura made the guard's expression tremble.

The guard looked at the uniforms of the cavalry and the scimitars around their waists, and said solemnly, "It's the Qinglang Camp."

This posture, where it is not flattering, is clearly a posture to attack Yongcheng.

The guard's heart sank. He didn't expect to encounter such a difficult situation. Yongcheng was still some distance away from the capital, and it was too late to send a letter at this moment.

The lieutenant-general was already sweating on his forehead, and asked anxiously, "General, what should we do now?"

The guard quickly regained his composure and said, "It's okay, Marquis Duan has set up more than 300 cloud-breaking crossbows in Yongcheng. Even if the Sui army really wants to attack hard, they won't be able to get a bargain in a short time. You immediately report the urgent military situation to the capital, I personally lead people to launch the cloud crossbow to defend the city."

The deputy general took the order and was about to rush down the tower, when suddenly there was a loud cry of killing from under the tower, a soldier hurried up and said anxiously: "General, it's not good, someone opened the city gate from the inside and let the Sui soldiers go." Come in!"

"what!"

The guard's eyes turned dark, and he almost fell down.

He listened to the sound of thunderous horseshoes that shook the sky and the earth, and looked at the fierce iron cavalry that was being used towards Yongcheng like a tide, and suddenly understood something, his face turned pale in shock, and he stomped his feet and said: "No, I've been fooled!"

In front of Qidu city gate.

Zhang Yu flipped through the roster and counted 100 people in a row, and the soldiers below all came out to respond immediately.

Zhang Yu didn't find out anything unusual, but for some reason, the vigilance he had cultivated over the years still made him feel inexplicably uneasy.

Even the deputy general beside him couldn't help asking, "What is the general suspicious of?"

After all, Tian Ying is the nephew of Prime Minister Tian Que, and the lieutenant worried that the general's temper was too upright, which would offend Tian Que.

Zhang Yu didn't speak, got up, and was about to step down the tower and go out of the city for inspection. Just two steps away, a lazy voice came first: "Brother Zhang, why are you ordering troops on this tower in the middle of the night?"

A tall and mighty figure in armor came over, with a fierce look on his face, followed by a row of soldiers, who turned out to be Tian Jin, another guard at the gate of Qidu.

The relationship between Tian Jin and Tian Que is closer, and he is Tian Que's cousin.

Tian Jin wasn't supposed to be on duty tonight, but Tian Jin had nothing to do at night, drinking in the camp with a few generals in the army, and just finished drinking, when he heard movement in front of the city gate, he came to check.

Tian Jin saw his nephew Tian Ying at a glance.

His eyes lit up slightly, a little surprised: "Jiyuan, why are you back?"

Jiyuan is Tian Ying's character.

When Tian Ying saw Tian Jin, his eyes trembled with excitement. When he was about to speak, the skin on his back felt cold, and he realized the situation right now.He could only bear with it and said: "Sui and Jiang have a truce and peace talks, and my nephew leads the troops back to report to the king!"

"That's right, there's no more fighting over there, you're just eating food for nothing, you should really come back."

Tian Jin and his nephew, Tian Ying, have a pretty good relationship. He had another drink today and was in high spirits. As he spoke, he personally led someone out of the city gate to talk to Tian Ying.

He noticed that his nephew's forehead was covered with sweat, and he said in surprise, "Xiao Liuer, what's wrong with you?"

Tian Ying looked at Tian Jin anxiously.

Tian Jin immediately noticed Sui Heng who was dressed as a lieutenant next to Tian Ying, and wondered: "Who is this? Why have I never seen it by your side?"

When Tian Ying didn't see Tian Jin, she was almost disheartened and completely gave up the possibility of struggling. Now that she saw Tian Jin, her uncle, she suddenly had a new glimmer of hope.

After all, he was born as a nobleman of the Qi State. If he had a choice, he would naturally still be willing to return to the Qi State and live a life of prosperity and wealth. Now, he already had doubts, and immediately drew out his waist knife upon seeing this.However, Sui Heng's saber was even faster, before Tian Ying could break free completely, the cry was cut off abruptly.

Tian Ying's heart was pierced with a knife, and she fell heavily to the ground.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Sui Heng jumped up and rushed towards Tian Jin. Tian Jin's legs and feet were still a little weak due to drinking, so Sui Heng threw him to the ground, and then cut his throat with a knife.

The change was so sudden that before the guards on the city gate could react, the three thousand "Qi soldiers" displayed below the city had already stepped on Tian Jin Tianying's body and rushed into the city gate.

Zhang Yu reacted quickly, hurriedly closed the city gate, and activated the defense equipment.

However, in just this short moment, those well-trained elites of the Qinglang Battalion had already taken advantage of the darkness to climb up the city wall so quickly.

The sound of killing caught off guard and shattered the nobles of Qidu who were still immersed in their sleep.And the louder shouts of killing came from the direction of Yongcheng, all the way to the east.

The beacon fire that suddenly ignited in the sky above Yongcheng also spread to Muyun Pass.

Jiang Yun stood on the top of the city gate, looking at the place where the eastern beacon was lit, followed by Fan Zhou, Yun Huai and the important guards in the pass.

The north-south peace talks were not yet over, Sui State suddenly went to war with Qi State again, it happened so suddenly that everyone was surprised.

The Sui State's stance of attacking fiercely from the start seems to leave no room for peace talks, and it is impossible to stop this war once it comes together.

Jiang Yun had stood on the tower all night.

Overnight, the beacon fire in Yongcheng was not extinguished.

When dawn was approaching, Jiang Yun suddenly asked: "How many cavalry can be dispatched immediately at Mu Yun Pass?"

Both Fan Zhou and Yun Huai looked at His Highness unexpectedly.

Yun Huai pondered for a moment and said, "Thirty thousand."

Jiang Yun looked at the flames soaring into the sky from far away, and clasped his fingers tightly on the brick wall. After a while, he pursed his lips and said, "The [-] cavalry are all displayed outside Yongcheng, and they will do their best to help the Sui Kingdom attack."
