Chapter 425 It is unacceptable for a high-ranking official of Xu Lengzhi's level to let him surrender to the enemy, but if he does not surrender, he will face the danger of the whole army being trapped to death, and now he is in a dilemma.
Regarding Xu Lengzhi's current situation, Tang Yin, who is in Pufeng City, can be said to empathize, and when he had a private meeting with Cheng Jin, Lotte, and Ah Sana Si on this day, he told everyone about it.
Lotte's heart moved, and he said: "If Xu Lengzhi can take the initiative to surrender, it will be too beneficial to our army, and it can also reduce a lot of casualties."
Isn't it time for us to take the opportunity to come out and persuade this person to surrender, my lord?"
Tang Yin thought about it seriously, shook his head slowly, and said: "It's not appropriate that Leng Zhi is the general of the Mo State after all, and he is still very loyal to the imperial court and Shao Fang, and he will not surrender so easily, if we go to see him rashly, if we don't get it right, we will explain ourselves." ” Lotte nodded, feeling that what the king said was not unreasonable.
Cheng Jin blinked and said, "Then we won't come forward, write an anonymous letter persuading him to surrender and put it at the gate of the county capital, and see how he reacts first." ” Yo, you can give it a try, Tang Yin's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Cheng Jin's method is good, just do it" "Wang, this matter is arranged by me" Cheng Jin took the initiative to ask.
Tang Yin had no opinion, but reminded: "Be more careful, don't reveal your identity" "Don't worry, the king doesn't worry, his subordinates know what to do" Cheng Jin replied.
On the same day, it is night.
There was tranquility in and around the county capital.
The guards at the gate were standing guard with all their attention, when suddenly, there was a sound of breaking wind in the air, and before they could figure out what was going on, they heard a bang, and a carved arrow was nailed deep into the doorpost.
The guards guarding the door instinctively shouted "Assassin", and looked in the direction where the arrows were fired, and now it was dark, and there was no light on the opposite side of the county capital, and it was dark and rumbling, where could you see half a figure.
At this time, a large number of guards heard the shouts pouring out from the gate of the county capital, including Tang Yin, who was alias Ma Wu.
People rushed outside and asked, "Where are the assassins?"
"I don't see where the assassin is, but someone just fired a cold arrow," one of the guards guarding the door screamed with trepidation.
"Everyone go and search" Among the guards, the commander led by the commander shouted to the left and right.
Tang Yin did not follow the crowd to the opposite side, but came to the doorpost, pulled out the arrow inserted in it, saw that the arrow was tied to a letter, and immediately handed it to the commander, and said: "Brother Gao, look, there is a letter tied to this arrow" The commander of the team leader is Tang Yin's top boss, Gao Peng.
He hurriedly took the arrow handed over by Tang Yin, untied the letter wrapped around it, and unfolded it to take a look, the envelope was written with five big characters written by General Xu himself, but it was not signed.
This is a letter to Xu Shuai, Gao Peng didn't know what the situation was, he said to Tang Yin urgently: "Xiao Wu, you are in charge of this place for the time being, you must not let the assassins into the mansion, I will go to see Xu Shuai first." ” "Understood, Brother Gao, you go" Gao Peng hurriedly ran into the county capital with arrows and envelopes to meet Xu Lengzhi to clarify the situation.
At this time, Xu Lengzhi was holding a meeting with the generals under his command in the county capital to discuss how he would deploy next.
As a result, they discussed and discussed, but they didn't come up with a result, but Gao Peng came with a letter.
Hearing that someone had sent a book to him, Xu Lengzhi frowned, stretched out his hand and said, "Show it to me" Gao Peng hurriedly stepped forward and carefully handed the arrow and the letter to Xu Lengzhi's hand.
The latter first took the arrow, looked at it several times, and then snorted coldly and threw it on the table.
He was very familiar with this arrow, because it was the arrow used by the Mo army.
Then, he tore open the envelope again, and was about to take out the letter paper inside, when the escort general on the side hurriedly said: "General, be careful of deception" Xu Lengzhi's movements froze, and after thinking for a moment, he still handed the envelope to the escort general and asked him to open it for him.
The protector took out the letter paper slowly, unfolded it slowly, checked it back and forth, and found nothing unusual, so he handed it back to Xu Lengzhi.
The latter took it, looked down twice, and then, slamming the letter on the table, his eyes flashed, looked around at the generals present, and asked, "Guess what the content of this letter is?"
The monks of the generals were confused, their faces were confused, and they shook their heads one after another, indicating that they didn't know.
Xu Lengzhi said in a condensed voice: "This is a letter of persuasion, but the arrows used to pass the book are from our army, what can I explain" While speaking, he threw the arrows and the letter paper on the table below for the generals to see.
Everyone looked at each other, hesitated, but still gathered around and passed the letter and arrows one by one.
After all the generals looked at it, Xiang Wen clenched his fists and said: "Within our army, there must be spies, who may be mixed in by wind thieves, or they may be instigated by wind thieves."
Xu Lengzhi nodded, his sharp gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, and he sneered and said: "Our two granaries were burned down at the same time, but we couldn't find out the enemy hiding in the city, now you should understand what the reason is, because the enemy is lurking inside our army and let the enemy catch the enemy, how can you catch it?"
His words made the generals red-faced, and people hung their heads, and couldn't help but glance left and right, there were spies in their own side, but who were the spies?
Xiang Wen rolled his eyes and said, "General, it's not strange that the enemy can know the location of the granary, but the strange thing is that the enemy can accurately know the location of the hidden silo and be able to sneak in and set fire to it, which is too incredible."
If the general's prediction is correct, the enemy must be infiltrating the upper echelons of our army."
By saying this, he was tantamount to putting everyone present as an object of suspicion.
As soon as his words fell, General Mo immediately stood up to express his dissatisfaction, and said: "What the general said is wrong, although we know the location of the hidden warehouse, it is not easy to get in, so how can we go inside and set fire?"
"That's right, except for the guards in the county capital, I'm afraid no one can enter the secret warehouse."
Seeing that everyone was gradually pointing the spearhead at their side, a guard immediately said angrily: "The guards at the gate of the dark warehouse have all testified, before the fire, no one came out of the dark warehouse, could it be that the person who set the fire burned him to death?"
The generals are gossiping, you say a word to me, and the argument can't get a result in the end.
The more Xu Lengzhi listened, the more upset he became, slapped the table case, and shouted: "Don't quarrel, after you go back, you will all check on your respective subordinates for me, if you let Ben Shuai find out whose subordinates have problems, Ben Shuai will be severely punished."
The generals all stopped arguing, shrunk their necks in fright, and replied in unison: "It's the general" Through this flying arrow book, Xu Lengzhi can be sure that there is a fine work of the Feng Army within his side, but he can't be sure who it is, after all, there are hundreds of thousands of Mo troops in the city, and anyone has the possibility of being bought by the Wind Country, even including the closest henchmen around him.
The letter of persuasion sent by Cheng Jin to Xu Lengzhi did not have any effect, and Mo Jun still stubbornly insisted on Pufeng, but the whole army has been reduced from three meals a day to one and a half meals a day, half a meal in the morning, one meal in the evening, and no meal at noon.
Judging from the current situation, Xu Lengzhi seems to have made up his mind, that is, to defend Pufeng City and fight to the end with the Fengyu coalition army.
Tang Yin is a guard in the county capital, and he has a good relationship with the commander above, so he is also relatively well-informed, and after finding out Xu Lengzhi's intentions, he has already had murderous intent in his heart.
Xu Lengzhi is the backbone of the Mo army, as long as he is there, the hundreds of thousands of Mo troops may fight to the death with their own soldiers at any time, but if this person dies, it will be another matter, and the last line of defense in the heart of the Mo army will also collapse, which is very beneficial to his own side.

It's just that there are too many guards and guards around Xu Lengzhi, many of them are outstanding spiritual cultivators, Tang Yin wants to do it alone, and there is basically no possibility of success, for this matter, he specially went to Cheng Jin and Lotte and others to discuss.
Since Xu Lengzhi insisted on refusing to surrender, assassinating this person was the most beneficial choice for his side.
Cheng Jin asked Tang Yin: "King, can we get into the county capital?"
Tang Yin shook his head and said, "Now the county capital is heavily guarded, there are double posts inside and outside, and there are spiritual cultivators who continue to release insights, not to mention people, even a mouse can't get into." ” After listening to his words, Cheng Jin fell silent, he couldn't get in, relying on the king alone, how could he stab Xu Lengzhi Lotte rubbed his chin and muttered: "If we can lure him out of the county capital, then our chances of assassination will be greatly increased." ” Tang Yin said with a wry smile: "The reason why I agreed to send a surrender letter to Xu Lengzhi is that I want to test whether he has the intention of surrendering, and second, I also want to use this to stimulate their internal contradictions and make their own people suspicious of their own people, although these two points have achieved their goals, but they also make Xu Lengzhi become vigilant, like a frightened bird, and now he is shrinking in the county capital, basically no longer going out, and it is not easy to lead him out of the county capital."
Lotte rolled his eyes, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said: "King, if there is a riot within the Mo army, or even a fight, I'm afraid, Xu Lengzhi will have to come forward to solve it." ” Tang Yin pondered for a moment, nodded his head, and asked curiously, "Lotte, what good idea did you come up with?"
Lotte smiled and said, "Provoke the Central Army of Mozambique and go to rob Baishuixuan." ” "Oh" Tang Yin didn't understand why Lotte said that, he became interested, looked at Lotte intently, and waited for him to continue.
Lotte continued: "As far as his subordinates know, Bai Shui Xuan's shopkeeper is a distant relative of the county head Ma Qian, but in fact, this is just a cover, the real behind-the-scenes boss of Bai Shui Xuan is Ma Qian himself. ” Tang Yin nodded while listening, he was now working as a guard in the county capital, and he had more or less heard about Bai Shuixuan's relationship with the county head Ma Qian.
However, what does this have to do with leading Xu Lengzhi out:
