The coach was missing, so Wang Zhaoan naturally wanted to report it to the court, but this information never made it to Emperor Yan Ping's court. Not only that, even Shen Yan, the governor of Dingbeicheng, never reported this matter. At this time, Taiwei Yang Zhentian, who was ordered to supervise the military affairs of the world, arrived in Dingbei City.
After Wang Zhaoan contacted Yang Zhentian, he handed the memorial to him. Yang Zhentian, who had a premonition that the situation was serious, set off to return to Beijing that day. Intercepted and killed by men in black on the way, Yang Zhentian suffered serious internal injuries and fled to Tongzhou desperately. It's a pity that the governor of Tongzhou is not someone who can be entrusted to him. Liu Dafu does not understand martial arts and is not willing to think about the links involved. In the end, Yang Zhentian's sacrifice was in vain.
Rumors in the market cannot be believed entirely, but sometimes they may not be groundless. The gates of Dingbei City were completely closed after the tense situation between the two sides, leaving the Northern Expeditionary Army alone outside. Wang Zhaoan was naturally furious, but without an imperial order, even if he was the commander-in-chief of an army, he could not mobilize troops without permission. In the end, he could only station his army alone in grief and anger.
The matter was not over yet. A few days later, a large army suddenly raided the camp. The defenseless army was completely surrounded by the enemy and suffered heavy losses. Just relying on the mechanisms set up during the construction of the military camp to ambush and deal with the enemy forces seems to be a living target. The other party didn't seem to be in a hurry and was surrounding them but not attacking. Wang Zhaoan knew that the other party was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to swallow them completely.
Yang Zhuming also heard the people in the city talking about the Northern Expedition Army being surrounded.
This is slightly different from the information that Emperor Yan Ping received before. The source of Emperor Yan Ping's information was Liu Dafu, the prefect of Tongzhou, but Liu Dafu was not a competent prefect, so his source of information is still a mystery. . The most likely possibility is that someone released false information to the court through Liu Dafu to confuse the court.
At midnight, when everything was silent, Yang Zhuming came to the prefect's mansion alone. At this time, most people had fallen asleep, but Shen Yan, the prefect, was still burning the midnight oil, writing something.
After a while, Shen Yan stopped the pen and paper, blew on the wet ink, and smiled slightly. Then a voice suddenly sounded next to him, saying: "Haha, this battle is all due to Master Shen. After the event is completed, my lord will make Master Shen the king of the Central Plains. At that time, Master Shen must not forget Mu." Minister."
"Haha, Mu Shuai is serious. Yang Zhuming will arrive in the next few days, and I will capture him and send him to Mu Shuai's camp."
"Then thank you Master Shen. Haha, I hope this boy won't be as tough-talking as his father."
"What? Haven't the eldest prince surrendered Yang Zhong yet?"
Mu Gongchen sighed and said: "Yes. The eldest prince Li Xian, Corporal, respected Yang Zhong very much, but not only did he not appreciate him, he even took the opportunity to hurt the eldest prince. The eldest prince killed him in anger. Leave it to the Second Prince to deal with."
"How dare this Yang Zhong fall into the hands of the Second Prince?I'm afraid I won't be able to get a good deal. "
"Well, I saw the second prince chop off one of his arms before I came here. I think when I go back, I may not be able to see his whole body. Ha ha. ”
“That’s exactly what it should be.” This person does not understand the destiny of heaven, and attempts to fight against the heavenly soldiers, thus bringing about his own destruction. "
Mu Gongchen nodded and said: "The affairs of Dingbeicheng will be left to Master Shen. "
"Don't worry, Marshal Mu, Shen Yan will find a way to rescue Lord Zhu. ”
After the two agreed, Shen Yan sent Mu Gongchen to the carriage outside the mansion, and the carriage slowly drove to the city gate at night. According to the regulations, there are no special circumstances at the city gate at night. It couldn't be opened, but obviously the city gate guards had received the order from the prefect, and these people left the city without any hindrance.
When the carriage was halfway through, the horse's hoof seemed to be hit by something. Suddenly it folded, and the huge body of the horse fell to the ground in an instant, making a shrill cry.
Mu Gongchen, who was sitting in the carriage, was also thrown to pieces and was thrown to pieces by the guards. Helped him out in embarrassment
"What's going on? "
The groom said in horror: "Sir, please forgive me, it was the horse that fell suddenly that caused the carriage to overturn. "

Mu Gongchen frowned and still said angrily: "How could the horse fall suddenly? It must be that you didn't drive the car properly. I'll settle the score with you when I get back. "
Just when Mu Gongchen was reprimanding the groom, suddenly a black shadow bounced up from the ground, stabbing his left and right guards to death as fast as lightning, and then a sword was placed on his neck. .
Things developed in just a blink of an eye. Mu Gongchen had no time to react and felt a chill on his neck.
"Hero, spare your life, I have something to say. "
Seeing his master being captured, the groom on the side quietly pulled out his saber from his waist. He wanted to catch Shadow off guard, but he didn't expect that the shadow saw through him and stabbed him to death with a backhand sword.

In the blink of an eye, he was the only one left, and Mu Gongchen became even more nervous and frightened. Yang Zhuming then said: "Where is your camp? How many people are there? Say it quickly. "
Mu Gongchen rolled his eyes and wanted to fool him, but Yang Zhuming warned him: "Don't try to play tricks. I already know that you are from the Yelu tribe, Mu Gongchen, Mu Shuai, yours Life is very valuable. "
When Mu Gongchen heard this, he immediately became honest. This person actually knew his identity, and he probably also knew about his collusion with Shen Yan. Mu Gongchen had no doubt that what he said was the truth.
"The camp is on the grassland a hundred miles away, with an army of 150,000, led by Yeliqing, the great prince of the Great Khan. "
"How many troops are there in the Northern Expedition? "
"This...hiss, I said, I said, there are one hundred thousand soldiers in the Northern Expedition Army, led by the second prince Yeli Man. "
" YelimanIsn't it at Yeliqing's place? You are lying. "
Yang Zhuming plunged the tip of the sword into the sole of Mu Gongchen's foot, and the sharp sword edge directly penetrated his foot. Mu Gongchen suddenly wailed and said: "I didn't lie to you, Er. The prince couldn't bear the pain, so he handed over the army to the deputy commander Yachel and ran back to the camp to rest. "
"You captured Yang Zhong, how is he? "
"He had one of his hands chopped off by the second prince. According to the second prince's temperament, I'm afraid he will be in danger. "Mu Gongchen originally wanted to say that he must have died a long time ago, but he was worried that his life was still in others' hands, so he had to use a euphemistic way of saying it.
After hearing the bad news, Yang Zhuming's eyes were blood red, but He forced himself to endure it and continued: "Where is the Northern Expedition Army? "
"In the northwest. "
"Take me there. "
"Okay, okay. ”
Mu Gongchen did not dare to resist at all.
