"What? How dare Sun Lei do this?"

Tong Guan's face was full of surprise. He was not pretending, he was really surprised. Zuo Qigong was a Situ of the Liao Kingdom and was granted the title of Duke of Yan!This is a real high-ranking official of the Liao Kingdom, not much worse than his own status in the Song Dynasty.

The expressions of the others also changed slightly. Zuo Qigong's words shocked them greatly. It is not unusual for dynasties to change.

But in the past dynasties, when dynasties changed, as long as they submitted to the new dynasty, the senior officials of the old dynasty could still enjoy their original glory and wealth. If they submitted to the new dynasty early enough, promotions were common.

"Then Sun Lei and the people from Liang Shanbo are just a bunch of grass bandits. How do they know how to govern a country and bring peace to the world? When they come, they know how to kill and rob!"

Zuo Qigong gritted his teeth and said, "Xijin Mansion has surrendered, but Sun Lei still ordered a three-day raid. I don't know how many people were killed in the city, and everyone he knew was wiped out."

"Then Yan Yun is in chaos!"

Tong Guan asked quickly. Generally speaking, the new dynasty will treat the officials who surrender favorably. After all, officials are needed to manage and stabilize the world. This is a compromise that must be made.

"Chaos, of course it's chaos! It's just Sun Lei's bloody methods that forced him to suppress it. Now the Xijin Mansion is just a pile of firewood. It only needs a spark to ignite the sky-burning flames!"

Zuo Qigong looked at Tong Guan and said.

"What does Brother Zuo mean?"

Tong Guan pretended to be confused, but he was still a little worried that it was Sun Lei's conspiracy.

"Tong Xiang, you are now under house arrest by Sun Lei, and you don't want to escape. You and I should join hands to drive Sun Lei away. Isn't this Yan Yun the one in Tong Xiang's pocket?"

Zuo Qigong looked at Tong Guan and mentioned his intention.

"Brother Zuo is joking. In my current situation, how dare I scheme against Yan Yun?"

Tong Guan shook his head quickly.

"Tong Xiang, why are you saying such things? Tong Xiang has been plotting against Yan Yun for many years. Now that the opportunity is right in front of him, does Tong Xiang really want to give up?"

Zuo Qigong looked at Tong Guan and said with a smile, how could he have suddenly visited if he hadn't accurately determined Tong Guan's pulse.

"Brother Zuo, Sun Lei is very powerful now, and he is extremely cunning and full of tricks! I'm afraid there may be some fraud here, so Brother Zuo should be more careful."

Tong Guan still said with his waist.

"It seems that Tong Xiang still doesn't believe me. It doesn't matter that the Jurchens will arrive outside the city tomorrow, and then Tong Xiang will know that what I said is true! Farewell!"

Seeing that Tong Guan still didn't believe him, Zuo Qigong didn't say much, so he stood up and left.

"By the way, Tong Xiang, I know you have an alliance with the Jurchens, but if you watch the Jurchens defeat Yan Yun without any effort, Tong Xiang will probably get nothing."

Zuo Qigong walked to the door and suddenly looked back at Tong Guan and said.

"What do you think?"

Tong Guan asked, looking at the people around him.

"Tong Xiang, it's better to be careful."

Zhong Shidao shook his head and said, no matter how you look at this matter, there are problems. Even if Sun Lei is really sick, Liangshan will not be defeated directly.

the next day.

Wanyanzhong led the army and fought straight to the outside of Xijin Mansion.

When the enemy arrived, Lu Zhishen immediately asked his army to seal the city gates and go up to the city for defense.

The news of the arrival of the Jurchens caused a commotion in the Xijin Mansion. The Jurchens had a fierce reputation in recent years. The Liao army had made several expeditions. Instead of pacifying the Jurchens, the Jurchens had destroyed the country.

"You dare to attack the city with just such a small number of people! I'm afraid the Jurchens have something wrong with their heads!"

Qin Ming looked at the eight thousand enemies outside the city and laughed. These enemies were all light cavalry and did not have any large equipment. How could they attack Jijin Mansion like this?

"According to the military advisor's analysis, there should be enemies sneaking in from other places!"

Lu Zhishen said, the 8000 people in front of him are just the vanguard.

"Is my brother's illness getting better? Why did he suddenly become ill?"

Wu Song looked at Lu Zhishen and asked. "Doctor An took a look at her this morning and said she's fine. She's just weak and needs some time to recover."

Lu Zhishen shook his head and said, Sun Lei is usually fine, but he didn't know why he suddenly became ill.

"Master Lu, why don't you go out and destroy these Jurchens?"

Yuan Lang said, there are not many enemies in front of him. If they fight out of the city, they can all be wiped out in one battle.

"No, the military advisor said that we need to lure all the enemies here. If we leave the city now, the Jurchens will probably disperse and plunder!"

Lu Zhishen shook his head and said, it is best for the Jurchens to stay outside the city like this.

outside the city.

Wan Yanzhong frowned as he looked at the tall walls of Xijin Mansion. Xijin Mansion was much taller than the cities they had attacked before. He had no equipment at all now, so how could he attack the city with just cavalry?

"Command, set up camp!"

Seeing that the army in the city had no intention of leaving the city, Wanyan Zhong immediately ordered the army to set up camp before support arrived, and wait until the men, horses and equipment were ready before attacking the city.

News of the Jurchens' arrival also spread to the Tongguan military camp.

"The Jurchens are really here. Has the barrier been broken?"

Tong Guan was so anxious that he kept moving around. Yesterday he didn't believe Zuo Qigong's words, but today it really came true.

"Tong Xiang, I have inquired and found out that Sun Lei is really ill. This was only spread after some Liangshan soldiers leaked the news. Sun Lei has not shown up for three days."

Xin Xingzong said.

"If that's the case, it's indeed a good opportunity!"

Tong Guan became excited. Once he captured Xijin Mansion, half of his plan to regain Yanyun would be completed. As long as the Jurchens were sent away, the land of Qizhou in Hebei would be his.

"Tong Xiang, when shall we take action?"

Xin Xingzong was equally excited.

"Go find Zuo Qigong quickly. If this is to happen, you must cooperate with them!"

Tong Guan lowered his voice and said, after all, they only have 3000 people. It would be difficult to seize the Xijin Mansion. People like Zuo Qigong must have some secrets in their hands. Only by uniting them can they be foolproof.

Xin Xingzong left soon after receiving the order. Now Liangshan has to defend the outer city against enemies and protect the imperial city. All the manpower has been transferred, and there is no one to take care of them.

"Tong Xiang, I always feel like something is wrong here!"

Zhong Shidao looked at Tong Guan and said.

"what is the problem!"

Tong Guan asked.

"Sun Lei was the first to seize the seven states in Hebei. It was impossible not to guard against the Jurchens. How could the Jurchens kill outside the Xijin Mansion so quickly?"

Master Zhong said, Sun Lei's army would not be so vulnerable.

"Can there be any lies? If the Jurchens didn't come, would Sun Lei have nothing to spread such rumors?"

Tong Guan waved his hand and said, the Jurchens must have come. As for how to break the barrier, he didn't know. Maybe the Jurchens would attack the city. The four capitals of the Liao Kingdom were all conquered by the Jurchens in the past few years.

"You all go and prepare. When the time is right, we will seize Xijin Mansion!"

Tong Guan looked at everyone and ordered, he didn't want to hear any more objections.

"It seems that there are quite a few people with evil intentions!"

Sun Lei was lying on the soft couch and looking at a few pieces of paper. The news that he was seriously ill spread in the past two days, and many forces in the city were ready to take action.

"Didn't you let the military advisor handle it?"

Seeing that Sun Lei's face was still a little pale, Hu Sanniang said, An Daoquan has told him that what Sun Lei needs now is to rest and not to be too tired.
