Shang Jinzhong stood up and was about to say hello to him, but the third leader had already seen him and hurriedly ran over while shouting loudly.-

"Sima, Sima! There is something important, the boss asked me to come to you!" The third boss grabbed Shang Jinzhong's arm, pulled him outward, and went out of the camp, leaving only a group of soldiers who had not completely calmed their excitement.

"What is the matter of summoning when the Chief Secretary saw the summoning!" Shang Jinzhong asked while sitting on the horse. The third leader on the side made a gesture and asked the entourage beside him to stay away. He just now rode the cavalry and approached Shang Jinzhong and whispered: "The big thing is wrong. The defeated soldiers from Leiyang are coming to report it. The Wu army has already captured there."

"What?" Shang Jinzhong's ear seemed to have a thunder in the clear sky. His body shook and almost fell from the horse's back. The third head of the house next to him hurriedly reached out to support him and whispered: "After getting the news, my brother ordered the defeated soldiers to be confined immediately to avoid leaking the news. Let me come to you immediately to discuss with the fourth brother."

"Well, the boss is really experienced in his work, and this news is indeed impossible to leak!" Shang Jinzhong nodded: "But the news of Leiyang's fall cannot be concealed for long. We have to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible!" Speaking of this, Shang Jinzhong kicked the horse hard in the belly and drove his mount to run towards the governor's mansion.

The group arrived at the governor's house. Shang Jinzhong jumped off his war horse. He saw that the guards in armored soldiers stood in front of the hall, and were on high alert. Looking closely, they were all the guests and children of the clan who followed Song Erlang in the world and had to do so. Shang Jinzhong thought that this boss was not always visible but was actually an extremely powerful figure. Now that the strong enemy is in the forefront, he was so prepared that he should be to suppress other potential unstable forces in the refugee army. If there was no such a backstage to support him, he would not be able to show his strength in such a short time and conquer such a situation. Thinking of this, Shang Jinzhong couldn't help but feel grateful to Song Erlang in his heart.

"Fourth Lao, you're finally here!" Song Erlang stood in front of the hall and paced back and forth. Seeing Shang Jinzhong coming in, he hurriedly grabbed the other party's right arm and took it to the inner room. He said while walking: "Fourth Lao, those defeated soldiers are in the backyard. No one else has seen them except you. Come on a quick idea. Our burden will be pressed on your shoulders."

"Don't say that to the boss! Jinzhong has just done some internal affairs." Shang Jinzhong hurriedly thanked. The group came to the backyard and saw six or seven ragged men squatting around a pot of food. Seeing their voracious look, they were obviously hungry. Song Erlang coughed, raised his head, stood up quickly, and bowed, "I have met Changshi, Sima!"

Song Erlang nodded and said in a deep voice: "Military information is urgent, please explain the military information in Leiyang one by one! Don't delay it."

Those men hurriedly spoke with each other. Shang Jinzhong listened carefully. It turned out that after he was about to go south along the Lei River and advance the Wu army of the Wu Kingdom and Jianwu Army was generally under the jurisdiction of today's Guangdong Province, he sent a thousand troops to Leiyang to the front station and transported some of the food and supplies to Leiyang by water to prevent more than 100,000 people from acting suddenly and blocking them. Shang Jinzhong was so busy these days that he was as busy as a top. Seeing that all the matters had been basically completed, the Wu army in Tanzhou and the Ma Chu army who claimed to be fighting the thieves were not moved. He saw that the ships were about to set off after two or three days. However, he didn't expect that a Wu army would pop up from somewhere and occupied the Leiyang City. The baggage, grain and many ships naturally fell into the hands of the enemy. There was only one word that could describe Shang Jinzhong's feelings at this time, that is, "flying disaster."

Shang Jinzhong cheered up and asked some questions about the defeated soldiers. He confirmed that the armed forces that had broken through Leiyang City were Lu Wu's regular army, and carried a large number of light and heavy firearms. It was judged by the flag that the number was no less than two battalions and 6,000 people. Such a large army suddenly appeared in Leiyang at this critical moment. Obviously, Lu Fang had already expected his strategy of moving far away to Guangdong and Guangxi to avoid his edge in order to seek development. The slow action of Lu Wu's army in Tanzhou was just to paralyze the main force of the rebel army to stay in Hengzhou, and sent a side division to detour to cut off the only escape route of the rebel army. Shang Jinzhong estimated Lu Fang's strategy too highly. Attack Leiyang and cut off the refugee army's escape route south was actually Wang Zisheng's own decision, but he wasted so long in Tanzhou. When he thought of this, Shang Jinzhong couldn't help but regret.

When Song Erlang saw Shang Jinzhong standing there, his face changed, and he thought he was crazy, so he carefully patted the other person on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Fourth, are you okay?"

Shang Jinzhong beat Ling Xing to wake up, and saw Song Erlang's concerned eyes, his face turned slightly red, and he whispered: "Don't worry, brother, I'm fine, I'm just thinking about things and getting rid of my god."

"That's good, that's good. Our rebel army is now indispensable to you, Sima!" Song Erlang smiled, and then he approached Shang Jinzhong and asked in a low voice: "What should we do now?"

"Send out immediately and take back Leiyang!" Shang Jinzhong replied without hesitation: "Wu Gou has just captured Leiyang, and has not been known to have a foothold. Moreover, his troops are only 6,000, and he is hundreds of miles away from the enemy in Tanzhou. He cannot save him. Although Ma Chu said he would attack me, he and the bandits of Wu have their own intentions and will not fight to the death. If I burn his way back, show his soldiers to die and come to him with a hundred thousand people, he will be able to break up and open the road to Jianwu Army!"

"Attack Leiyang?" Hearing Shang Jinzhong's suggestion of the main battle, Song Erlang immediately hesitated. Obviously, he did not have enough confidence in conquering Leiyang. The third leader on the side said, "Old Fourth, do you really want to attack Leiyang? Wu Zhe took this place, can we just go around?"

Shang Jinzhong explained patiently: "The third brother doesn't know that Leiyang is the key to Leishui. If we want to go down Leishui, we will not be able to avoid this place."

"Then we can just go by land?"

"Our rebel army is more than 100,000, of which 40,000 are old and weak, and the baggage is even more infinite. If we take land routes and the road is rugged, we may not be able to travel fifteen miles a day and will be chased by the Wu thieves behind us. Moreover, the journey around Leiyang is even longer. The Wu thieves in Leiyang can also be sent to follow him and attack him in a quarrel. The rebel army has not long been formed, so how can we resist it? Therefore, only taking Leiyang is the only way out."

After Shang Jinzhong finished speaking, the room suddenly became quiet. Song Erlang and the third leader both had their own thoughts and remained silent. Shang Jinzhong waited for a while and said anxiously: "Big Master, brother, please order the troops quickly. I am willing to be the van!"

"Don't worry! This matter is important, how can we send troops in a hurry?" Song Erlang waved his hand, his face looked a little strange. Seeing this, Shang Jinzhong said, "Soldiers are more important than speed, but they cannot be delayed. At this time, the Wu soldiers in Tanzhou have not yet moved. As long as they take down the major affairs of Leiyang, they can still do it. The opportunity must not be lost and will not come again!"

Song Erlang did not answer Shang Jinzhong's question immediately, but made a gesture to let the rest of the house retreat. When there were only three leaders left in the house, Shang Jinzhong and the three of them, Song Erlang lowered his voice and asked, "Fourth brother, do you think you are sure to take Leiyang?"

Shang Jinzhong was stunned and then replied: "Why do you say this by brother?"

Song Erlang smiled slightly and said, "I mean, if we are not sure of conquering Leiyang, we might as well just caress it!"

Song Erlang's words were like a blow knocking on Shang Jinzhong's head. Shang Jinzhong was stunned and Song Erlang's slow words came from his ears: "We now have 100,000 people under our command. The fourth brother, you trained 6,000 elite soldiers. If you are just tutoring, you can give them at least a magistrate or something. Even the governor is not impossible. It is also an endless wealth and glory. As the saying goes, "kill people and set fire to be recruited." This is also a common thing. We have the strength in our hands, and we are not afraid of Lu Wu's tricks. Anyway, we are all provoking under a pseudonym. If we are chasing the culprit, we will chop off the heads of the refugee leaders and send them over. The Wu generals have made a lot of military achievements. Why should they fight with us? What I have to do in my life is to be safe. If the fourth brother, you are not 80% willing to take me, you might as well listen to my move!"

"Enough!" A silence interrupted Song Erlang's nagging words. Shang Jinzhong took a step forward, stretched out his right hand to point directly at Song Erlang, then put it down, shook his head, and said in a bitter voice: "Brother, you and I were in the mountains that day, saying that although Zhong Yangui was named an official, he was actually a thief. Although I was a thief, I took ill-gotten wealth to help the people, and actually an official. What a hero that is that? We raised an army to rebel against Wu today. Although we encountered setbacks, wouldn't it be more than a thousand times more than that time? The elder brother looked like this, and I said that I was very underestimated?"

After Shang Jinzhong's words, Song Erlang's face changed slightly, and he was about to say something. The third leader on the side shouted: "Shang Jinzhong, if it weren't for the eldest brother, how could you dare to talk to the eldest brother like this? Why don't you kneel down and apologize!"

Shang Jinzhong snorted coldly and said, "The boss is a man who is fed and fed, and I am a man who is kind and rebuilt. I, Shang Jinzhong, should repay you, but this is a private kindness. A real man is born in the world, how can he abandon his righteousness? If I surrender to the thief of Wu, wouldn't I dye my official robes red with the blood of those brothers who died under guns, cannons, swords and swords? The boss, if you do this unrighteous thing, even if you don't die, how can you rest at night? Today's business, Shang Jinzhong's head can be broken, blood can flow, and knees cannot bend!"

Shang Jinzhong's words were loud and loud. The third leader was a little embarrassed and angry when he heard it. After he learned that the Wu army had captured Leiyang, he had already shaken. When he saw Song Erlang's strong initiative, he was even more surprised and happy. Shang Jinzhong's firm objection was so strong that he would not be angry. He was about to refute, but Song Erlang said with shame: "Fourth, you are right. I was confused for a moment and actually said such unrighteous words. You are still hard on your back, otherwise it would be a big mistake! I am really ashamed, please accept my bow!" As he spoke, Song Erlang actually bowed to Shang Jinzhong.

"I can't pay my respects!" Shang Jinzhong was surprised and happy, and hurriedly reached out to support Song Erlang, not allowing him to pay my respects. At this moment, he suddenly felt a cold belly, and then a burning pain. When he looked up, he saw Song Erlang jumping aside, holding a dagger in his right hand, bleeding. @ya
