Another two thousand cavalrymen came like a tsunami and charged into the Bingzhou Army from the side. The right wing of the Bingzhou Army was the first to collapse. Then the wave of retreat swept the entire army. The Bingzhou Army was defeated across the board. Yang Yichen took the opportunity to order the entire army to launch a fierce attack. The Bingzhou Army
In a huge defeat, the soldiers trampled on each other, scrambled for their lives, abandoned their helmets and armor, fled in all directions, or knelt down to surrender and beg for mercy.
In this battle, Yang Yichen killed more than 10,000 enemies, captured more than 20,000 enemies, and seized countless grains and supplies. General Gao Shishan died in the chaos.
This battle not only destroyed Gao Ying's 40,000-strong army, but also made the situation in Bingzhou develop in a direction unfavorable to Gao Ying. One-third of the counties controlled by Gao Ying directly defected to the imperial court.
Counties and counties that continued to support Gao Ying and remained on the sidelines issued statements against him one after another, accusing Gao Ying of kidnapping the youngest son of the King of Han to rebel.

…
Taiyuan City.
Wang Junlin looked at the information in his hand and said: "The leader of a powerful clan like the Wang family has the power of an emperor in his own clan, but Wang Xiong, as Wang Long's younger brother, controls a force that is not weaker than that of the clan leader Wang Long, and
He almost took away Wang Long's position as the sect leader, which shows that Wang Xiong is indeed a heroic figure as his name suggests."
Nie Xiaoyu said: "The leather mask of Gao Ying's trusted general Dong Qingyun who stayed in Taiyuan has been made by Chengjie, and tonight Wang Xiong is holding a banquet at Chunman Courtyard..."
Wang Junlin's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said in a deep voice: "First of all, we must find out the layout of the banquet venue. Xiaoyu, you have to go there yourself for this matter."
Wang Junlin's promise to kill Wang Xiong in front of Wang Long was not just a temporary decision. After being ambushed in Taiyuan City a few days ago, Wang Junlin knew that a person like Wang Xiong was difficult to control, so he decisively killed Wang Xiong.
The target was changed to Wang Long. But for Wang Long to conspire with him wholeheartedly in Taiyuan, the premise is that Wang Long must completely control the Wang family. Therefore, Wang Xiong must be removed.
However, killing Wang Xiong in Taiyuan City is like nailing a flea on the head of a tiger. The Hundred Swords League is the largest political force in Bingzhou. Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu have experienced it personally, and they are very powerful. What's more, the masters under Wang Xiong's command are by no means
The Bai Dao Alliance family and the Taiyuan Gambling House also have many masters, led by Zhang Qian, the old man with seven murders.
Moreover, after many years of management, Wang Xiong's business, industry, wealth, force, and personal connections have become extraordinary. If he had not wanted to replace Wang Long as the head of the Wang family, the two brothers would work together to run the Wang family, and the Wang family in Taiyuan would probably
It is possible to surpass the Dugu family and become the number one family in the world.
…
…
Chunmanyuan is the property of Wang Xiong. Now it is the number one brothel in Taiyuan. It is of extraordinary style, especially the structure of four high-rise buildings connected in a circle, which is a magnificent scene unmatched by other brothels.
Since Chunmanyuan is Wang Xiong's property, he wanted to assassinate Wang Xiong here. If he wants to go deep into the tiger's den to get the tiger cubs, if he accidentally exposes his hiding place, he will be surrounded by a group of enemies and it will be difficult to escape.
The time when Taiyuan Lang Yu Chengjie, dressed as Wang Junlin, entered the hall used by Wang Xiong to entertain guests was carefully calculated. Not only was he deliberately late, but he also chose the time when the singing and dancing was going on and before the fifth course was served.
At this time, the banquet was in a lively atmosphere. Eighteen kabuki dancers dressed like colorful butterflies were retreating from the gate with light and graceful dance steps like a colorful cloud. Wang Junlin suddenly appeared at the gate, majestic with a long sword on his back.
Yingfa's courage immediately attracted the attention of more than a dozen guests in the hall.
The singing girl left from the left and right of him. The masters of the Hundred Swordsmen guarding the door were attracted by his momentum, and they recognized him as General Taiyuan and did not dare to stop him.
The huge hall has nine low tables on the left and right, with one person behind each, revealing a vast space in the center for singing and dancing.
Wang Xiong was sitting on the north side facing the main gate, about thirty steps away from the entrance.
Wang Junlin looked up to the sky and let out a long and shocking laugh, and said loudly: "The Second Master of the Wang family, please forgive me for coming uninvited. I heard that the Second Master of the Wang family was hosting a banquet here, so I came to join in the fun."
Wang Xiong immediately showed a vigilant look. The main guest Wang Xiong hosted tonight was Taiyuan Chief Shi Du Ruofei. He was also greatly surprised. He stood up suddenly and said happily: "General Yu is busy with military affairs, how come you have time to come here today?"
Du Ruofei is of medium height, about thirty-six or seventeen years old. He is obviously a scholar, has a Chinese character face, a neatly trimmed short beard with extended sideburns, deep eyes, a high nose, and sparkling eyes, giving him a rather elegant air.
The other four Taiyuan officials who came with him to the meeting also stood up from the seats on the left and right to pay tribute to Wang Junlin. Obviously, the Yu Chengjie that Wang Junlin pretended to have had a high status in Bingzhou, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he held a high position of authority.
Although Wang Xiong was not happy in his heart, given the current situation in Bingzhou, he did not want to offend a general like Yu Chengjie, so he stood up and saluted, showed his due demeanor, and said with a smile: "General Yu is here, I am here."
An honor.”
Wang Junlin glanced around and found that less than half of the guests in the hall had met him before. They were all officials who were formerly subordinate to Yang Liang, King of Han Dynasty, and were now subordinates of Gao Ying. These people all knew Yu Chengjie, although he felt that they were the ones attending tonight's meeting.
Yu Chengjie was a little strange, but he didn't think much about it. They all smiled and clasped their fists in salute. Wang Junlin smiled in return, but his attention fell on the other two people.
He knew both of them and had fought against them. One was Ning Shaobao, the leader of the Hundred Swords Alliance, and the other was the old man Qisha, the controller of the Taiyuan Gambling House. They sat two seats behind Wang Xiong respectively. The angle of their seats allowed them to monitor the north and south.
When they met Wang Junlin's gaze at the doors and windows on both sides, they immediately showed sharp expressions.
At this time, a group of servants holding soup filed into the hall, and Nie Xiaoyu's voice came to Wang Junlin's ears: "I'm already in place!"
When Wang Junlin ascended, his spine stiffened. He slapped the long sword on his back and strode forward towards Wang Xiong. He shook his head and sighed: "Wang Xiong, what do you mean? You invited them, but you didn't invite me.
Don’t you look down on me?”
The guests who were whispering among each other suddenly stopped and became silent. Only the footsteps of the serving servants could be heard in the hall. Everyone could see that Wang Junlin was not just here to join in the fun.
Du Ruofei stared at Wang Junlin in astonishment, with a look of confusion on his face.
Wang Xiong's eyes were deep and he frowned: "What do you mean by General Yu's words?"
Including Old Man Qisha and Ning Shaobao, all attention was focused on Wang Junlin, and they did not notice that the servant dressed as Nie Xiaoyu was walking into the south hall.
Naturally, Nie Xiaoyu had already disguised herself. After unexpectedly knocking out a waiter, she took him to a secluded place and changed into his clothes. She took advantage of the busy moment in the dining room to sneak into the queue of serving dishes.
Grab a plate of hot soup and serve it to the table.
