Chaoge sent a vanguard army to accuse Xiqi. However, the vanguard general Chao Lei was defeated and captured in the first battle. Later, he was summoned and put under Lu Zhi's command.

However, Chaoge sent not only Chao Lei, but also his brother Chao Tian to accompany him, and seriously speaking, the main general of this vanguard army was also led by his brother Chao Tian.

Therefore, after some discussion, Chao Lei took the initiative to ask for an order to go to the military camp outside the city to persuade his brother to surrender and lead his sergeants to subdue Xiqi.

Lu Zhi glanced at Chao Lei and saw that his complexion remained the same. It seemed that there was no plan to deceive him, so he decided to do it. He was also ready to take this as a test.

Anyway, he doesn't worry about Chao Leifu's rebellion. After all, he and other military barracks are stationed outside the city. If Chao Lei really goes away and deceives him, Lu Zhi can catch him again and send him to the rear pit to dig for coolies.

Chao Lei immediately worshipped Lu Zhi and went out of the city to return to the camp outside the city.

After he left, Jiang Ziya asked, "Marshal Lu, aren't you afraid that Chao Lei tricked us into going out of the city to persuade our brother to surrender, but he actually escaped on an excuse and then continued to fight against us?"

Nangong Shi on one side also said: "yes, marshal, Chao Lei has just fallen, so you trust him and let him go back. If you let the tiger go back to the mountain, wouldn't it be a disaster?"

Lu Zhi said dismissively, "my handsome is to see what Chao Lei will choose."

"If he really comes back, he can be put in high position. He is no different from the people of our Xiqi headquarters. They are all robes."

"But if he dares to deceive Ben Shuai and just prevaricates him with words... Ben Shuai will not give him a second chance."

"As for letting the tiger go back to the mountain, I'm afraid it will be a disaster..." Lu Zhi just smiled faintly, "isn't Chao Lei and his troops right under our eyes? What waves can he turn over?"

Lu Zhi turned to God, looked at the crowd and said, "the generals will listen to the order!"

"Order Nangong Shi to lead 5000 people out of the city quietly, bypass behind the Chaoge army, ambush in Hulu Valley, stop him and wait for his retreat!"

"Order Nezha to lead two thousand men and horses to wait in the city. If the two brothers Chao Lei and Chao Tian plan to withdraw, they will attack immediately, cooperate with Nangong Shi to attack back and forth, and capture their headquarters in one fell swoop!"

Everyone knew that Lu Zhi had already made plans, and it was true if he thought about it carefully.

Therefore, the people stopped talking, received military orders and began to take action.

On the other hand, after Chao Lei returned to the camp, even if he persuaded his brother Chao Tian to surrender, he was scolded by Chao Tian for a while. Chao Tian's face showed some moving color until he said that Xiqi's current commander was Lu Zhizhi.

Seeing this, Chao Lei immediately took advantage of the heat to hit the railway: "brother, I know you are loyal to Chaoge, but don't forget that if Marshal Lu hadn't improved rice planting, taught me the new cultivation method of Chaoge and solved the problem of starvation, hundreds of people in Chaojia Chuang Tzu would have died of hunger in that barren year!"

"My father and mother have always told us not to forget this kindness. Now the opportunity is at hand. Why don't you directly lead your sergeants and demote Marshal Lu?"

Chao Tian was silent for a few seconds and said, "what should I do with my parents? What should the villagers of Chao Chuang Tzu do? He is still waiting in the dynasty song!"

"If I wait for a fall, I'll get a message from Chaoge. I'm afraid my father and mother will be implicated by my two brothers. How can I bear it for my brother?"

Chao Lei smiled and said, "brother, I'm confused. How can I not think of this? I reported it to marshal Lu long ago and made a plan with Marshal Lu."

"Brother, you lead your sergeant to demote Marshal Lu. Brother, I rushed to Chaoge and secretly picked up my family and took it to Xiqi city for reunion under the pretext of reporting the military situation on the front line. In this way, our family will be free."

Hearing the speech, Chao Tian hesitated for a few seconds: "this plan may work, but... Do we really want to be the traitor?"

Chao Lei sighed and said, "brother, in front of you today, brother, I might as well speak frankly. Over the years, you and I have seen the king's immoral actions in the dynasty song. Isn't it less?"

"For so many years, we have marched East and West together with grand master Wen. Has the world ever been peaceful? Not only there is no, but it is becoming more and more chaotic. Most of the 800 road princes have been reversed. The Yin Shang River and mountains have been shaken by wind and rain."

"And..." He looked up at Chao Tian. "On this trip, I heard that the grand master sent my two brothers to Xiqi. Can't you see? We are clearly regarded as abandoned children who can be abandoned at will!"

This time, Wen Zhong only sent three thousand soldiers from Chao Tian and Chao Lei to Xiqi. They went deep alone. Later, there was no reinforcements. They just wanted to test Xiqi.

If Xiqi doesn't want to rebel openly, it's OK. He can also spy back several pieces of information and go back to work. But if Xiqi has decided to directly oppose business, their 3000 people may be eaten up by Xiqi in a moment!

Therefore, they are just an abandoned son discarded by Wen Zhong to test Xiqi's attitude. How can Chao Lei have no idea about such arrangements.

In the final analysis, his brothers are not Wen Zhong's lineage. They have been ignored for so many years. Now they are regarded as abandoned sons to test Xiqi Even if Lu Zhi falls, he won't have much guilt in his heart.

After all, it was Lu Zhi's kindness that enabled his family and villagers not to starve to death in the famine. This is the great grace of life. In addition, Wen Zhong paid so little attention to him and others, and it was even more chilling to treat him and others as abandoned children. What can we do if he simply fell down?

Chao Tian then made up his mind and looked up and said, "brother, you don't have to say any more. When you figured it out for your brother, you led your sergeants to marshal Lu!"

"Brother, you also hurry back to Chaoge and bring all my family to Xiqi for reunion."

Chao Lei said with a smile, "don't worry, brother. I'll bring all the children back home."

Xiqi barracks, Shuai Zhang.

"Report! Uncle Lu... Eh, marshal." Nezha went into the commander's tent and reported, "Chao Tian, who is outside the city, has led three thousand sergeants to surrender outside the city. He also asked the marshal to surrender himself."

Lu Zhi smiled. Chao Lei didn't live up to his trust.

However, the candidate of this group for mining in the future has to be found again. I don't know when the Chaoge city will send the next batch of captive workers The next army is coming.

Lu Zhi got up and said, "come on, Nezha, go with me to meet Chao Tian and his sergeants."

After successfully receiving a sergeant from Chao Tian and staying for a few days, Chao Lei led a thousand more reinforcements sent by Wen Zhong and a family. Xiqi easily won the first battle without bloodshed and without paying any casualties.

He even added 4000 soldiers and two good generals. When Wen Zhong and Chaoge got the news, they almost vomited blood without being directly angry.

However, so far, Chaoge and Xiqi can no longer coexist, completely opening the war to destroy the country.

The attitude and actions of Xiqi side, the rebellious heart has been clearly revealed, and the Chaoge side naturally can no longer tolerate it. Even if the herald calls a heavy army to march towards Xiqi, it will destroy Xiqi in one fell swoop.

The Chaoge side summoned a large army to advance, and Xiqi side immediately received the news.

Wen Zhong ordered Zhang Guifang, the guard of Qinglong pass, to gather a hundred thousand troops. This time, it's not as small as the 3000 men of Chao Tian and Chao Lei Brothers last time. It's clear that he came with the heart of destroying the country and the county!

Therefore, after receiving the news, Lu Zhi and others did not dare to be careless. Even if Xiqi generals and ministers were called to discuss how to win the battle.

However, the speed of Zhang Guifang's army was not slow at all. Before they could formally discuss a process here, someone reported that Zhang Guifang had led the army outside Xiqi city and stationed less than ten miles outside the city.

Before the incense came out, someone came to report that Zhang Guifang's army was already under the city wall, shouting and scolding under the city wall. It was extremely powerful. Please hurry to sit in town.
