From beggar to emperor: I am not Zhu Yuanzhang

Liu Jianfeng led his troops back in a hurry, and finally reached Shugang. He let out a sigh of relief: "We finally came back."

Ever since Sun Ru entered the city, a troop has been stationed at the Shugang camp to guard the food and grass. Liu Jianfeng saw Sun Ru's flag flying in the camp and smiled and said: "There is food to eat tonight."

As he commanded the army to enter the camp, a strange scene happened.

After Liu Jianfeng entered the camp, he found that there was no one in the camp. With many years of experience, Liu Jianfeng keenly realized that something was wrong!

He shouted several times: "Is there anyone? Is there anyone?"

No one answered him, only his shouts echoed in the air.

Liu Jianfeng's neck felt cold, and he suddenly yelled: "No, it's a scam! Get out quickly——"

As he spoke, he ran out. As soon as he ran out of the big tent, he heard deafening shouts. There were swords and guns all around, and the sound of killing was loud. It was over, he had been tricked.

Dai Yougui and Gao Xu drew their swords and waved them: "Liu Jianfeng, where are you running!"

He raised his sword and rushed over. The ambush soldiers behind shouted and surrounded him.

Liu Jianfeng had no choice but to fight, and the two armies fell into a fierce hand-to-hand battle.

Liu Jianfeng's men tried to rush out of the camp gate, but were suppressed by the firepower of the Crouching Tiger Camp at the camp gate. Dense arrows came like rain, and the people who died from the arrows fell one by one like falling wheat.

Liu Jianfeng was unwilling to surrender, so Sun Ru's No. 1 general showed his amazing fighting power. He held the horse's neck and charged all the way, jumped over the burning camp gate, and rushed out.

As for his men, they were not so lucky and suffered heavy casualties.

After Liu Jianfeng broke out of the encirclement, he looked back and saw that there were only a few hundred people following him, and they were all losers.

He did not dare to go back to save others, and led these people to escape in a hurry towards Yangzhou.

At the same time, Ma Yin in Luzhou City finally realized that he was in trouble.

According to reports from the scouts he sent out, a large number of troops were found moving in the south of the city. Ma Yin hurriedly climbed to the tower and took a look, and sure enough he found a camp in the south of the city.

Liu Jianfeng left, leaving him alone and unable to sing. This is not a trick on me.

Ma Yin wanted to curse.

And what's even more terrible is that according to a secret report from Ma Yin's spy in Cai Chou's house (there is no way, you must be on guard against others), Cai Chou heard that Yang Xingmi personally led an army back to attack Luzhou, and she had some ideas in her mind. He's been very restless lately.

What does this mean?

Ma Yin fell into deep thought...

This kid named Cai wants to rebel?

You are right, Cai Chou was plotting against the enemy with a few cronies in the palace, and surrendered to Yang Xingmi again. His plan was to kidnap Ma Yin, surrender to Yang Xingmi in Kaicheng, and strive for Yang Xingmi's forgiveness. After all, we are all brothers in Crouching Tiger Camp.

Someone raised their concerns: "Brother, is this okay? You are the first of Yang Xingmi's brothers to betray him. If we come back now, will he accept us?"

Cai Chou laughed: "Don't worry, brother, I know Yang Xingmi very well. I know his weaknesses very well. When the time comes, I just need to put all the blame on Ma Yin in front of him. Look at him. They will definitely forgive and accept me.”

Another confidant asked: "Then what should we do? Yang Xingmi may attack the city at any time. We cannot be late, otherwise we will have no credit."

"That's right, without further ado, we'll start tonight! Come here, listen..."

Cai Chou called his two cronies over, whispered, and explained the action plan.

That night, it was pitch black, and all I could see was the red lantern on the top of the city swaying in the night.

Ma Yin went to bed early because he had a few too many drinks in the night. He didn't know how long he had slept when he vaguely heard a noise coming from outside.

Ma Yin stood up, pricked up his ears and listened carefully for a while. He only heard what seemed to be a large group of people speeding past the street outside, and the light of torches could be seen through the window.

Ma Yin was shocked and thought that I didn't order the deployment of troops. Which army is this?

Then I thought about it, could it be him?

Yes, this is Cai Chou.

Why did Cai Chou mobilize his troops without my consent? And outside my home?

A fool should understand at this point. Of course Ma Yin is not a fool. He jumped up, quickly put on his clothes, and muttered: "It's broken, it's broken, run away."

He had already thought that Cai Chou might betray him.

Before Ma Yin could put on his clothes, there was indeed a violent banging on the door. Ma Yin's guards heard the noise and rushed out. As soon as they went out, they were blocked by Cai Chuan's men who climbed over the wall and broke out. A melee.

Ma Yin took advantage of the melee in the courtyard and quickly escaped with his family through the back door. After all, he still had five thousand soldiers and horses in the city, so he could still escape.

If you wait until Yang Xingmi also launches an attack, it will be too late.

After finally wiping out Ma Yin's bodyguards, Cai Chou's cronies rushed into the bedroom but failed to find Ma Yin's figure, so they arrived a step too late.

Cai Chou was so angry that he ordered the whole city to hunt down Ma Yin.

At this time, Ma Yin had already led his troops to escape, fought out of the city through the east gate, and fled back to Yangzhou overnight.

Cai Chou captured all Ma Yin's men who had no time to escape, and captured more than 1000 people.

Although Ma Yin was not caught, these more than 1000 people could be regarded as a meeting gift for Yang Xingmi.

Early the next morning, Cai Chou opened the city gate and sent someone to deliver a message to Yang Xingmi's camp, asking him to come into the city for inspection and acceptance, and return the complete jade from Luzhou to Zhao.

Cai Chou himself led a group of generals, shirtless, tied with wattle sticks, and wattle sticks tied on their backs, and knelt at the gate of the city waiting for Yang Xingmi.

This is addicting to playing negative thorns to plead guilty.

An hour later, Yang Xingmi was seen riding a tall horse and entering the city from Nancheng, surrounded by a group of brothers.

As soon as Cai Chou saw Yang Xingmi, he knelt down and cried: "Brother, eldest brother, I finally see you again. I am guilty."

Seeing Cai Chou on the ground, Yang Xingmi held down the horse's head and asked him only one question:

"Why betray our brothers?"

Cai Chou was distraught and cried: "My brother is really having troubles. Ma Yin and Liu Jianfeng's armies besieged the city the day before yesterday. I fought bloody battles for more than ten days and never thought of surrendering. Unfortunately, I was outnumbered and the city of Luzhou was about to be destroyed. They threatened my brother. If you don't surrender, you will massacre the city. In order to protect the people of the city, the younger brother has to take this strategy, but the younger brother is in Cao's camp and his heart is with the Han Dynasty. The elder brother returns to Luzhou, the younger brother will capture and kill the rebels immediately, and open the door to welcome the elder brother. .”

Several of Cai Chou's subordinates also quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, brother Mingjian, the thieves will threaten to massacre the city if they don't surrender. For the sake of the people, there is really nothing we can do."

Yang Xingmi dismounted and helped Cai Chou up: "So, you have a reason for it. In order to protect the people, you surrendered to the enemy. It's rare for you to show love for the people."

"Brother, please let go of your restraints. We are still brothers."

As soon as Yang Xingmi said these words, Yuan Xi's expression changed behind him, but Yang Xingmi had his back turned to him and did not notice his expression.

Cai Eunuch was so happy that she was forgiven by Yang Xingmi that she arranged for Yang Xingmi's food and lodging in person. In order to please Yang Xingmi, he specially ordered people to renovate Yang Xingmi's ancestral tomb in Wushan and accompanied Yang Xingmi to worship.

These actions completely erased the dark history of his surrender, and Yang Xingmi no longer pursued him, but this aroused Yuan Xi's worries.
