Behind Hua Rong, there were two or three thousand Liangshan people, but Hua Rong had no desire to fight. He turned around and ran away, not to run along the path, but to use the same trick again and crawl into the mountains.

Hua Rong naturally knew that if he was chased towards the mountain village like this, it would never be possible. There was only one ending with annihilation, and thousands of soldiers of Zheng Zhi were still waiting outside the mountain village.

Zheng Zhi saw Hua Rong turning around and running, with a smile on his lips, and there was a sense of conspiracy. Seeing Lu Da chasing him, he shouted: "Don't go into the mountains, go back to Liangshan Village first."

When Lu Da heard the words, he naturally stopped, looked at Hua Rong not far away in front of his head, cursed and went down the path.

Zhu Wu came to Zheng Zhi and said, "Brother, I wonder if Hu Yanzhuo would believe this matter like this?"

"Believe it or not, Gao Qiu was shot to death by an arrow. Could it be that I could not shoot it?" Zheng Zhi said seriously, and he didn't care whether Hu Yanzhuo believed or not. What if Hu Yanzhuo didn't believe it? In the absence of evidence, Hu Yanzhuo had to pretend to believe it.

Even if Hu Yanzhuo had evidence, Zheng Zhi could probably predict that Hu Yanzhuo would not meddle in other people's business, nor would he dare to meddle in other people's business. Some things are not something that a military general of Hu Yanzhuo can control.

Some things focus on a matter of power. As long as Zheng Zhi always maintains authority, many things will naturally not be a matter. Whenever Zheng Zhi loses the authority one day, even if it is not something Zheng Zhi does, it is not a problem for Zheng Zhi to be charged with several crimes, and he has to let others take charge of it.

It is always because of the fact that one can refer to a deer as a horse, and it has little to do with whether the evidence is conclusive.

When Zheng Zhi ran out of the small path, the battle for the village gate had reached a white-hot stage, and both sides suffered heavy losses.

The Liangshan men became more and more braver the more they fought, just because they could not afford to lose, and the consequences of losing this battle were unimaginable.

Hu Yanzhuo and Han Tao's troops were naturally unstable, and they were only because they could afford to lose, so they could come back next time if they lost.

Zheng Zhi stood on the platform, looked at Gao Qiu who was still beside him, and looked at the accumulated battle situation in front of him. He asked, "Zhu Wu, do you think this war should continue?"

"Brother, it seems that Hu Yanzhuo can't get in. Why don't we go up and destroy Liangshan in one go?" Zhu Wu asked tentatively, and naturally it was his inner thoughts. But Zhu Wu knew that since Zheng Zhi asked, the matter was not as simple as he thought.

"If this battle is won, who will be the credit? Is it possible for me to get the reward from the Tokyo officials and be promoted?" Zheng Zhi asked again, staring at Gao Qiu on the ground.

Zhu Wu also looked at Gao Qiu on the ground with Zheng Zhi's eyes, thought for a moment, frowned and replied, "Brother, it's a good idea to be unable to win this battle. If he wins this battle, the Tokyo officials will only think that Gao Qiu is loyal and serves the court with death and repays the emperor's kindness with death. If he doesn't win this battle, if he fights again in the future, his brother will win again, and even if he avenges Gao Taiwei, the officials will be grateful to his brother. He will definitely be given an additional title to his brother."

Zhu Wu seemed to have thought through the matter thoroughly and said it very clearly. Zheng Zhi nodded repeatedly when he heard it. Since Zheng Zhi asked this question, he naturally thought about this question. Asking Zhu Wu again at this time is also a way to take the exam.

Obviously, Zhu Wu's answer was extremely appropriate, and Zheng Zhi was also relieved. Zhu Wu grew up very quickly and had a broader vision, so his height of looking at the problem would naturally be different. Zhu Wu can slowly stand on his own.

"Okay, then do as you said. Ask Master Luan and Sanniang to put away all the flags and follow the soldiers at the end of Cangzhou." Zheng Zhi's words also gave Zhu Wu a recognition.

"Brother, then I'll call the gold to withdraw the troops. Instead of giving the credit to a dead person, it's better to give my brother a reward for success." Zhu Wu was extremely happy when he heard Zheng Zhi's recognizing his thoughts, and felt more confident. After saying that, he turned around and arranged something.

The sound of gold sound came, and Hu Yanzhuo let out a breath of vigor, held a few knives, turned around and left. The soldiers did not need anyone to order. They seemed to have been waiting for the sound of gold sound, and they all turned around and retreated.

When Song Jiang heard the sound of gold outside the village, he was overjoyed and stood up and chased him out.

But Wu Yong hurried over behind him and shouted, "Brother Gongming, you can't catch him. Thousands of elite soldiers from Zheng Zhi outside the city are still waiting."

Song Jiang heard Wu Yong's shout and turned around and asked, "The enemy has been defeated, and it is time to make a concerted effort."

"Brother, the enemy has not been defeated, he is just retreating. For the sake of the present, he has to quickly block the gate of the village to prevent the enemy from attacking for a second time." Wu Yong was a truly clear-headed person. Most of the leaders in the field were red in their eyes, and no one could think of these things.

Song Jiang heard Wu Yong's words, thought for a moment, and shouted: "Come on to move heavy stones and block the village gate."

Hu Yanzhuo ran out of the village, seeing that there were no thieves behind him, he felt much more peaceful, and rushed straight to the distance.

On the general's platform, he did not see the familiar red official uniform. He only saw Zheng Zhi wearing iron armor standing in front of his head, with military men covered with armor on his left and right.

Seeing that Hu Yanzhuo was not far away, Zheng Zhi stepped forward to meet him a few steps and said, "General Hu Yan, the big thing is not good. Taiwei Gao was attacked by Hua Rong and died on the spot. We should return to Yunzhou quickly, report this to Tokyo, and then make a decision."

Hu Yanzhuo heard Gao Qiu die, stopped and was stunned on the spot. He could not react for a moment, and only asked: "What did you say, Mr. Zheng? Grand Marshal Gao is dead?"

"Yes, Taiwei Gao is dead. You and General Han are fighting. I am retreating when I see Hua Rong rushing down from the mountains, two or three thousand people on the left and right, besieging Taiwei Gao. Taiwei Gao is not anxious for a moment and retreats to the small path in a hurry. Hua Rong chases closely, and I hurried to rescue him. But it was too late. Hua Rong shot and penetrated his chest with an arrow. Taiwei Gao died on the spot." Zheng Zhi was calm in his heart, and his words were naturally very logical.

Hu Yanzhuo was shocked and angry when he heard the words, and asked, "Grandpa Zheng, where is Hua Rong at this time?"

"The thief Hua Rong entered the mountains again at this time. He couldn't find it. General Hu Yan, please follow me to see Taiwei Gao." Zheng Zhi said as he retreated aside and asked Hu Yanzhuo to get up and move forward.

On the platform, under the chair of the Taishi, Gao Qiu was lying on the ground covered in blood, his eyes closed, and his face was in pain.

Hu Yanzhuo went forward and squatted down to check. Sure enough, a broken arrow was inserted into his left chest and near the collarbone under his shoulders.

"Mr. Zheng, why is this good now? The Tokyo officials blamed us, and we are all guilty. The holy heart is unpredictable. I am afraid that we will go to Tokyo to be punished." The first thing that came to mind was that this official body was not safe. The Hu Yanzhuo's generations of generals have reached the state prefecture's military command. Going further down, the Hu Yanzhuo can't be called a general. Even if Hu Yanzhuo dies, he will have no shame to face his ancestors.

Hu Yanzhuo's reaction was beyond Zheng Zhi's expectations. He originally thought that Hu Yanzhuo's first reaction was suspicion, but he did not expect that Hu Yanzhuo really didn't take it much to heart when Taiwei Gao, and what he cared about the most was his own affairs.

"We will go back to Yunzhou first, report this matter to Tokyo and send Taiwei Gao to Tokyo quickly. General Huyan doesn't need to worry. If the official family knows that Taiwei Gao was killed by the thief, they will definitely wipe out Liangshan, and we will have a chance to make meritorious deeds." Zheng Zhi explained, thinking clearly in his heart that Gao Qiu was the commander, and all the military orders were subject to Gao Qiu. Everyone just obeyed the orders, so there would be no guilt. Huyanzhuo obviously only thought that Taiwei Gao was the confidant of Emperor Zhao Ji, for fear that the emperor would be flew thousands of miles away when he was angry. He would suffer unintentional disaster.

Hu Yanzhuo was already a little confused. After hearing Zheng Zhi's arrangement, he nodded repeatedly and replied, "I will follow the method of Zheng Gong, and go back to Yunzhou first."

At this time, Hu Yanzhuo could not accept it. Hu Yanzhuo's government was naturally much worse than Zheng Zhi's identity. Gao Qiu was dead, so it was Zheng Zhi who issued the order.

Everyone gathered their troops to go back to the camp, and then drove them to Yunzhou. Zhu Wu wrote the document as Zheng Zhi ordered soon.

When the army returned to the camp, Zheng Zhi brought the documents to the tent, took out his seal and stamped it on the documents, and then signed his name.

Hu Yanzhuo also signed a big name and took out the official seal to stamp it. Han Tao didn't think much about it, so he stamped the big seal and name.

The document was rushed to Tokyo for 800 miles, but the messengers only brought ten selected horses.

Then he found a carriage and horse, marinated Taiwei Gao with lime, wrapped it tightly, and sent it to Tokyo.

At this time, Hu Yanzhuo's uneasiness slowly subsided. He sat in the tent and asked again: "Mr. Zheng, I will think about it carefully. This fact is a bit strange. Why didn't this Taiwei Gao go in the direction of the army in front of us, but turned around and ran towards the small path?"

Zheng Zhi also said with annoyance: "I don't know. At that time, I was about two hundred steps away from Taiwei Gao. I saw many people in the forest and heard the fighting. When I arrived, Taiwei Gao was already wrapped in the path by many guards. Could it be that Hua Rong had already expected this and sent people to lurk on the left and right. When he surrounded him, the road ahead of Taiwei Gao had already been cut off?"

Hu Yanzhuo thought about it again, but naturally couldn't figure it out, and said, "Maybe that's the case. Hua Rong is really scheming. No wonder Peng Qi fell into his hands. If he fights again tomorrow, he must kill Hua Rong on the spot."

Zheng Zhi nodded and said, "We all underestimated this Liangshan bandit."

Hu Yanzhuo also nodded and agreed with his face: "I really underestimated these thieves. Not only are the soldiers in Liangshan well trained and have good combat power, these leaders are also very intelligent and tricky. They are careless and underestimated the enemy!"
