After Huang Shu finished speaking, Zuo Liangyu sighed and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to continue speaking.

"Zhong Lin's words are also like this. In my plan, I can only hope that Wang Deren's troops can return smoothly. Alas, I really didn't expect that I, Zuo Liangyu, worked hard for a lifetime and finally managed to earn such a foundation, but now I ended up like this." Zuo Liangyu walked slowly to the chair, fell back on the chair with a thunderous sound, and he never wanted to see everyone around him again.

Two days later, the morning light first rose, and Zuo Liangyu, who was worried, had not yet stood up in the mansion, suddenly a personal soldier came to report urgently.

"Marquis Ningnan! Lord Zuo! Good thing, good thing!" The soldier looked anxious and broke into the bedroom regardless of etiquette, shouted loudly at the sleepy Zuo Liangyu.

"You are so rude, what's the good thing? Tell me quickly." Zuo Liangyu was shocked by this person and she looked angry.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Reported to the Marquis of Ningnan, now in the north of Wuchang, a large number of troops came from afar. Under the banner of General Wang, it was suspected that General Wang Deren led his troops back. The Tang army stationed in the north of Wuchang was already in chaos when they saw this sudden situation and were about to escape quickly." The personal soldiers who reported the news wiped the sweat on their faces, but their expressions were extremely happy.

"Oh? Is Wang Deren's tribe really back? Well, it seems that Huang Shu's words have come true!" A light flashed in Zuo Liangyu's eyes, and his expression became excited. He jumped up from the bed and immediately said, "Hurry up, serve me quickly and get up, and then follow me to check at the city gate."

"Get orders!"

Soon, Zuo Liangyu, who had been dressed in a hurry and washed up briefly, was not even enough to wear armor, so he hurriedly led a group of followers to the north city tower.

As soon as he arrived at the city tower, he immediately saw with joy from the Qianli Miles that a large number of flags and soldiers had jumped out from the horizon, and was rushing towards the north of Wuchang. It can be clearly seen from the Qianli Miles that these soldiers were all under the banner of the king, and it seemed that they were indeed Wang Deren's soldiers.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

At this time, the Tang army soldiers and horses under Wuchang City were very upset when they saw a large number of left army soldiers coming from afar. They were as if in order to avoid Wang Deren's army's edge, they were almost divided into two parts and retreated from both sides, but they completely gave up the road to the north gate of Wuchang.

Zuo Liangyu was overjoyed. He couldn't help his excitement and shouted repeatedly: "Okay, God really helps me! Wang Deren really lives up to the expectations of this marquis. It is a great achievement to be able to lead the crowd to come back in such an emergency in Wuchang! After he enters the city, this marquis will reward him!"

Zuo Liangyu paused for a moment and immediately ordered the personal soldiers beside him: "When Wang Deren's troops approach, put down the suspension bridge and open the north gate to allow their troops to enter the city smoothly. After the entire army enters the city, this marquis will hold a feast in person to welcome them and reward the soldiers of the army!"

"Get orders!"

Soon, Wang Deren led his troops and horses to a place two miles outside the north gate. The whole army was in awe of great momentum, and people shouted and neighed. At first glance, it was boundless. The Tang army, which originally surrounded the north gate, seemed to see the left army so fiercely, and they were all afraid to avoid it. In the north of Wuchang City, there was no Tang army left.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Seeing this, Zuo Liangyu became more and more happy. When he was about to order the north gate to open to welcome Wang Deren's troops into the city, he suddenly heard a hurried voice from his back: "Marquis Ningnan, you must not open the city gate now!"

Zuo Liangyu was shocked. He turned his head and looked at him, but saw his most trusted adviser Huang Shu, who was running up the city gate panting, waving his hands to him repeatedly, indicating that he would not be allowed to issue this order.

Seeing Huang Shu's situation, Zuo Liangyu frowned, and his heart was even more suspicious and angry. As soon as he approached, he shouted at Huang Shu: "Huang Zhonglin, why did you say this? Now General Wang is about to arrive at the city, why did you say this and not let me open the door to greet him?"

Huang Shu walked quickly with a breath, bowed to Zuo Liangyu and whispered: "Marquis Ning Nan, the reason why I am here to prevent you from opening the city gate immediately is because I am worried that the visitor will be cheated. If you let him enter the city easily, you will be afraid of an unexpected accident."&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Oh? Why are you cheating? Didn't you say that Wang Deren's troops would be able to withdraw their troops back to Wuchang while Jin Shenghuan was fighting against the Tang army? Why did Wang Deren lead his troops to the city now, and the Tang army outside the city were also frightened and withdrawn, but you didn't let this marquis open the door. What's the reason?" Zuo Liangyu's tone was obviously unkind.

"Marquis Ning Nan, I did think so before, and I really hope that Wang Deren could lead his troops back to Wuchang smoothly. This wish is the same now. However, when things are coming, we still need to be extremely cautious to avoid one trick of being careless and causing a major disaster." Huang Shu squinted his eyes and watched Wang Deren's troops getting closer and closer, and whispered to Zuo Liangyu.

"Don't go around the corner, what do you mean?" Zuo Liangyu raised his face.

"Marquis Ningnan, I will say bluntly that if General Wang can really successfully command his troops and return to our Wuchang City, it would be better. However, after thinking about it, he still had some concerns and had to tell Ningnanhou truthfully first."&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Then you just say it!"

"Mr. Ningnan, have you ever thought that the Tang army used deceitful troops and acted quickly, and its action plan was often beyond our expectations. Is there a possibility that they had already forced the troops of Wang Deren's army a few days ago, and then led them to the front, deceived the gate of our Wuchang city, and then the army rushed in and took down our Wuchang city in one fell swoop. If this is the case, can we prepare early and strictly observe the abnormal situation so as not to regret it?"

After Huang Shu said this, he sighed a long time, and carefully observed Zuo Liangyu's expression change.

After hearing Huang Shu's words, Zuo Liangyu's angry expression began to fade away, and his brows also frowned tightly.

Yes, Huang Shu said something is reasonable. If the Tang army had really forced the surrender of Wang Deren's army and instead used it as a pioneer to open the city gate, then the few soldiers in Wuchang City would be defeated by the rebels. This result is really chilling.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Zuo Liangyu's face was complicated. His eyes rolled, and he sniffed to Huang Shu: "Huang Zhonglin, your words are too ruthless, too unreasonable, and too disappointing our soldiers. I think Wang Deren is an old subordinate who has been following this marquis for many years. He has always been loyal and uncharacteristic. The chance of his troops rebelling should be minimal. If this marquis insists on opening the city gate, then the whole army will be the hearts of the soldiers who returned from Dahan. Moreover, the soldiers of the entire army have been in a stalemate outside the city for too long, and there will be worries about the whole army's mutiny. Have you not considered this in this situation?"

Seeing that Zuo Liangyu was cold and had a bad expression, Huang Shu was stunned and immediately replied: "Marquis Ning Nan, I am not hiding it. I have indeed considered this situation. After all, General Wang Deren still firmly led his troops to return after being pursued and blocked by the Tang army. It is really hard to do. If you make a guess, there is indeed many inappropriate problem. Therefore, I am wondering whether there is a compromise method that can test his loyalty first and then let his army enter the city. It is the best strategy."&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Oh, let's talk about it in detail."

"Marquis Ningnan, from the perspective of the following, for the sake of safety, let General Wang lead his cavalry to enter the city first, and most of the remaining troops will be temporarily waiting outside the city. After the Marquis Ningnan has discussed with General Wang and confirmed that he has not been forced to surrender by the Tang army, it will not be too late to let the entire army enter the city." After Huang Shu finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Zuo Liangyu with glittering eyes.

Zuo Liangyu lowered his head and pondered, kept stroking his beard, finally sighed softly, and replied: "Well, just like Zhonglin saw, let Wang Deren enter the city to talk first, and then make a fool of himself. If he really had no intention of rebelling, the entire army would not have been forced by the Tang army. If this marquis rewarded the entire army more vigorously to encourage the soldiers of the entire army, he would never have wronged them."

After Zuo Liangyu finished speaking, he went down to the city and returned home first, asking Huang Shu to answer with Wang Deren at the top of the city.

Soon, Wang Deren led his troops outside the moat. At this time, at the head of the north gate, Huang Shu waved his hands and shouted loudly at Wang Deren who was leading the army in front: "General, I have something to say to the Nanhou of Ning. I hope the general will hear it."&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Wang Deren's heart was terrified. He subconsciously glanced at Weng Zhiqi, deputy mayor of Tang Army who was pretending to be an escort, followed him closely. However, Weng Zhiqi nodded slightly to him and signaled that he could come forward to answer.

Wang Deren felt relieved. He took a deep breath, slowly stepped forward, stopped next to the moat, and shouted loudly at the top of the city: "Huang Zhonglin, why don't you call me? Why don't you open the door and let my entire army enter the city, what are you doing?"

Huang Shu squeezed out a smile on his face, and he smiled and said, "General Wang, you have worked so hard to lead your troops all the way south to Wuchang, and I am very grateful. However, for the sake of safety, I hope that your troops will wait a little outside the city, and the general and the guards will enter the city first. After the situation is found out, you will let all your troops enter the city. Is that good?"

After hearing Huang Shu's words, Wang Deren frowned. His eyes turned, and he quickly understood what Huang Shu's words meant. Then he replied with a sneer: "What Zhonglin said is really hard work. Although I am a rough person, how can I understand what you mean? You are nothing more than worrying that I will lead my troops to surrender to the Tang army, and then lead them to Wuchang to open the city gate. Unexpectedly, all the soldiers of my army have been ordered by the Marquis of Ningnan, and worked day and night, and worked hard all the way. After the Tang army followed and pursued them all, you have finally arrived outside Wuchang City, but you said such suspicious words, which really made the loyal and brave soldiers of my army feel disheartened!"&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"General Wang, that's not what he meant!" Huang Shu hurriedly explained to himself: "I know that the general is loyal and brave, and the entire army is also the elite soldiers under the tent of Ningnan Hou. But you also know that Wuchang is now in a small number of soldiers and lacks military equipment. If there is any change, how can we afford it! Therefore, it is a last resort to say such ugly words first. I hope the general will forgive me. You must know..."

"Enough! No need to say more!" Wang Deren interrupted him angrily: "Huang Shu, let's talk about it. Only when I want to do this will you believe that I have no intention and will you let the entire army enter the city?"

Huang Shu coughed and laughed dryly, and then continued, "General Wang, I will not be in trouble with you anymore. I will ask the general to give up his weapons first and enter the city first. After the Ningnan Hou finished his negotiations with the general, he confirmed that the general and all the soldiers had not been forced by the Tang army, he would let the entire army enter the city. At that time, there would be more generous rewards to comfort everyone and would never treat you badly..."&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Shut up! It's so noisy, so annoying!" Wang Deren frowned, then angrily interrupted his words, and replied loudly: "Okay, as you say, our soldiers are waiting for the marquis outside the city. I will escort them with my subordinates, abandon their weapons, and go into the city first to talk to the Marquis of Ningnan!"

"Very good, then please ask General Wang to enter the city to discuss. By the way, I have another sentence to General Wang, that is, your number of guards should not exceed twenty. This is also for the sake of safety. I hope the general will forgive me." Huang Shu smiled with a shameless face.

Hearing Huang Shu's words, Wang Deren's heart tightened again.

Damn, what's the point of fighting Huang Shu? Could it be that he has seen through our army's strategy and will make it happen if we can enter the city?

Wang Deren subconsciously glanced at Weng Zhiqi, who was pulling down the brim of the hat next to him, and then he looked at him quietly. He saw that the other party was looking at him with a tight face, and then nodded slightly.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Wang Deren took a deep breath and a vicious expression surged on his face. He knew that he had no regression to go, so he had to fight to the death and seek victory in a dangerous situation.

If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you get a tiger’s son?

Since I have changed my sect to serve the Tang army, I naturally have to work hard to win this first prize, thinking that I have sincerely served. At this moment, it is already an arrow on the string and I have to.

So he raised his head and shouted at Huang Shu on the top of the city: "Okay, as you say, I will only bring twenty guards into the city. Open the city gate quickly, don't be too late!"

"Okay, okay, general, don't be impatient. Let you wait and enter the city first." Huang Shu replied loudly, with a relaxed look on his face.

Then, the suspension bridge outside the north gate of Wuchang was squeaked down and slammed on the moat with a bang.

Here, Weng Zhiqi, deputy mayor of the Tang army beside Wang Deren, was already silent and sent the most energetic 20 Tang army cavalry who pretended to be guards, abandoned their weapons and prepared to follow Wang Deren into the city.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Of course, what Huang Shu and others on the top of the city could not see was that the guards pretending to be Tang army also had a sharp knife hidden in their close parts.

After the suspension bridge was put down, Wang Deren and twenty "guards" rode across the suspension bridge together. As soon as they crossed the suspension bridge, the suspension bridge immediately creaked up. After the resetting, the city gate in the north slowly opened a narrow gap that could be passed by one person and one horse.

Wang Deren took a deep breath, shouted loudly, then knocked his horse's belly and rushed into the northern gate of Wuchang. Behind him, Weng Zhiqi and the other twenty guards followed closely and rode their horses into the city.
