Chapter 21 Meeting Outside the City
Zhaocheng, after the First World War, the current city gates have taken on a new look. They are all made of fine steel and cannot be breached easily.

Zhao Zheng assembled his troops and stood on the city wall, and all 300 city guards obeyed him.

This time Zhaocheng has nearly [-] troops.

"My lord, why did the Thousand City Guards of Ming City come to Zhao City now?" Xu Shu thought about it and asked doubtfully.

Zhao Zheng looked out of the city. There were not many pedestrians on the wide avenue, and it was getting dusk.

He was also lost in thought, and Xu Shu's question was also his confusion.

It was only a day's journey from Mingcheng to Zhaocheng, but it had been four days since Zhaocheng was besieged by bandits. It was impossible for Mingcheng to get the news now, and the owner of Luneng City reported the situation to his superiors afterwards.

Logically speaking, they knew that Zhaocheng was fine, so they didn't need to send any more troops.

But if the Wang family controlled the city guards in Ming City and wanted to put Zhao Zheng to death, there was no need to delay these four days. If the bandits failed, they should have killed them the next day, entered the city in the name of rescue, and then Quietly killed Zhao Zheng.

Although it's okay to come here now, it still misses the best chance to kill Zhao Zheng.

Of course, the Wang family didn't know that Zhao Zheng was no longer the former Zhao Zheng. They probably didn't think the bandits would fail, so they didn't have second-hand preparations.

In addition, their information about Zhaocheng was still a few days ago, maybe they didn't know that Zhao Zheng had learned from the bandits that their Wang family was behind the scenes, and they didn't know that Zhaocheng had expanded its army.

No matter what, Zhao Zheng needs to prepare for the worst, at least the Wang family has been determined to be the enemy.

Although the city guard army only obeys the orders of the city lord's mansion, but the Wang family has been operating in Ming City for so many years, it is hard to say that they have controlled this army.

The city guards are an important force in a city, and are generally not allowed to leave the city without special circumstances.

"I can't figure out why, but it's definitely not a good person. We have to be prepared. We will face it soon. It's useless to guess now. Wait a minute, let's see what happens!" Zhao Zheng said flatly.

Now that his force has greatly increased, he is more confident, and he is extremely calm when encountering problems.

Finally, the sound of horseshoes vibrating outside the city sounded, and a dense area could be seen from a distance.

A Thousand City Guards are here.

The queue is neat, the military appearance is strict, the front, middle and rear armies are in order, the cavalry is in front, and the infantry is behind.

Looking from the city, although there were not as many bandits as in the previous few days, their aura was several times higher than the bandits.

The majestic power of the army gave people a strong sense of oppression.

The soldiers in the city were ready to fight, but they were not as nervous as they were when they faced the bandits. After all, they knew that their own army was coming, so they probably wouldn't be able to fight.

The big flag with Ming characters declares that this army comes from Ming City
A soldier in black armor came to the city on horseback and said loudly:

"Quickly open the city gate, General Wang Xun is ordered to come and escort Mr. Zhao Zheng home!"

On the tower, guard Huang Heng looked at Zhao Zheng and listened to his instructions.

"Wang Xun?" Zhao Zheng heard the name very familiar, and then remembered that when Ji Gang was interrogated, Ji Gang confessed to contact him, and the person who sent the equipment was called Wang Xun.

"Ming City's city guards were ordered to escort him, whose order?"

Zhao Zheng was even more skeptical. None of the personal guards he sent out had returned, and Mingcheng had received the order.

"Who is Wang Xun?" Zhao Zhengfan asked Huang Heng.

"General Wang is the lieutenant-general of the guard of Ming City!"

"Who is that guard?"

"General Chen Mao!"

"Ask him about General Chen Mao?"

The soldier below replied, "General Chen Mao is stationed in Mingcheng, and he sent General Wang Xun to pick you up. Please open the city gate quickly. General Wang Xun wants to see you."

It was the lieutenant general who came instead of the guard. Zhao Zheng smiled sarcastically, thinking he was stupid.

The guards are all personally appointed by the state shepherd Zhao Xuan, and generally they don't have the label of a big family. A thousand city guards have come, so what does it mean to leave a guard in Ming City?

Zhao Zheng suspected that the guard had already been seized.

This Wang Xun should be Wang Xun who provided armaments for bandits, and only generals at the lieutenant level can obtain and deploy so much armament.

Zhao Zheng stood up and said loudly, "I am Zhao Zheng, please ask General Wang Xun to come forward and speak."

The soldier beat his horse and returned to report.

"General Huang, do you recognize Wang Xun?" Zhao Zheng began to ask Huang Heng.

"I know!"

"Okay, I bet that Wang Xun dare not come to the city!" Zhao Zheng said solemnly.

Now the army is out of range, and there is a feeling of confrontation, and a group of soldiers has already gone around to the back door just now.

It doesn't look like they are here to pick him up, but more like they are here to attack the city.

"What if he dares to come?" Huang Heng asked subconsciously.

"Dare to come! Then let him enter the city!"

It's hard for Zhao Zheng to point out that Wang Xun is the mastermind behind the bandits.

At this time, Wang Xun was under the banner of coming to pick him up. Those soldiers didn't know that their general was going to kill the son. If Zhao Zhengruo testified against Wang Xun rashly, even if there was evidence, it would be difficult to reason clearly for a while. After all, only Ji The confession just now, but who would believe what a bandit said.

Testify against Wang Xun, if not, he will be bitten back, saying that he slandered and slandered Wang Xun. Wang Xun is now the chief general of a thousand troops, how will those soldiers know the truth.

It's better to pretend not to know, so that Wang Xun can't help but expose himself.

Outside the city, when Wang Xun heard the messenger's words, he frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Go and send the message again, saying that the general is now the chief general and will not stand under the dangerous wall. Please go out of the city to tell the story, or open the door." city ​​gate."

"Wang Xun is smart, he's good at making excuses."

Generally speaking, during wartime, it is okay to use this reason, but now it is not fighting, but picking up people.

Wang Xun had a ghost in his heart, so he didn't dare to go forward.

However, although the reason is a bit far-fetched, it is barely plausible.

"Respond, just say that Zhaocheng was harassed by bandits just now, and the people in the city were terrified, and they didn't dare to easily enlarge the army to enter the city. Ask him if he has a secret order from the state herdsman."

The army is generally not allowed to enter the city without an order. Even if they pass through the city, they are still stationed outside the city.

Now both sides are probing, both Zhao Zheng and Wang Xun knew what the other was thinking, but they didn't make it clear, they just showed it to the soldiers below.

Judging from Wang Xun's reaction, he was not sure whether Zhao Zheng had discovered his plot, and he was lucky that Ji Gang would confess him.

"Reply to the city, saying that we have the secret order of the state shepherd, but it can only be shown to the young master. Tell the young master, the army retreats one kilometer, and the young master can take people out of the city. This general will personally show the secret order to the young master in front of the city gate. .”

Zhao Zheng smiled slightly when he heard the reply, this Wang Xun was trying to lure him out of the city.

"Young master, no, there may be fraud in this!"

Huang Heng had already heard the problem and advised him.

Zhao Zheng thought for a while, then agreed, "Let the army retreat, and I will bring 50 people to meet with General Wang Xun 300 meters outside the city."

The army retreated one kilometer, which was enough for him to withdraw into the city before the army rushed over.

Of course, Zhao Zheng never thought of retiring.

Outside the city, Wang Xun was overjoyed when he heard the reply, "This Zhao Zhengyan is so stupid, and he is so easy to deceive, he is so stupid, I don't know how he survived last time, it was Ji Gang, Wang Ju is too useless. "

He told the two centurions around him,

"Shi Wen, take your people to the back, and as soon as you see us making a move, bring the army over."

"Han Jun, you bring fifty good men to stay with me. As long as it is confirmed that the person is Zhao Zheng, I will take action and kill him first. You pay attention to protecting me and dealing with the 50 people he brought over."

Wang Xun was full of confidence. He calculated that Zhao Zheng was a frail scholar, and he was sure to kill him quickly.

The only problem is Ding Ping, the personal guard general, but thinking that he has Xiong Shan around, Wang Xun thinks it is not a problem to keep him, as long as the guards are all silenced, and he kills a little-known Mr. Zhao Zheng, who cares.

After all, his father is dead! ! !

He thought about the reasons, and said that Zhao Zheng was the son of the fake state shepherd, because not many people knew of Zhao Zheng's existence.

As long as Zhao Zheng is killed, who will seek justice for a dead man.

Soon, the army retreated, and Wang Xun left 50 people behind and set up a simple military account 300 meters outside the city.

Zhao Zheng asked Huang Heng to make sure that Wang Xun was among the 50 people left outside the city, so he left the city with peace of mind.

The city gate opened, with Zhao Zheng leading the way, Zhao Yun and Xue Shutian on the left and right, and fifty spearmen and rangers under Zhao Yun's subordinates behind him.

As for Xu Shu, he stayed in the city, ready to respond at any time.

Zhao Zheng held a simple red-tasseled gun in his hand, rode on the horse, and walked towards the army tent outside the city.

His idea was the same as Wang Xun's, to turn this possible siege of a thousand people into a war of 100 people.
