387, Loyal Minister

Han Deng urged Han Jiajun to urgently prepare for the assembly before the battle, while Lao Xiangguo was on death row and met Wu Xiong for the last time.

"My lord, you can escape with me, as long as you escape to the Wu family's army, I will keep your lord safe!" Wu Xiong said proudly, he is a generation of famous generals, although he has been on death row for many days, but the heroic spirit on his body has not diminished at all!

Lao Xiangguo laughed sadly and said, "No, I can't defect, I must be loyal to the king, and I believe that the king will not kill me, even if I let you go now, he will not kill me! I am an old minister of the Three Dynasties, not that he can kill if he wants to!"

Wu Xiong obviously didn't believe Lao Xiangguo's words, he said loudly, "My lord, you used to have the grace of knowing me, and now you have the grace of saving my life, your kindness, I can't repay it in this life and this life, so I beg you, be sure to escape with me, the king is cruel, that Han Deng is ambitious, and his military advisors are scheming, if you stay alone, I am only afraid of the fierce and auspicious!"

Lao Xiangguo still shook his head and said, "I'm not leaving, you go quickly, I'll let you escape, but you have to do something for me!"

Wu Xiong suddenly knelt down and said in an almost pleading tone, "My lord, you can go with me!"

Lao Xiangguo helped him up and said, "I said that I won't leave, I'm already a lot old, even death is nothing great, I don't want my wisdom to be ruined, but you are still young, and you can control the Wu family army and let them not be rebels against the king! So you must escape!"

Wu Xiong has nothing to say, Lao Xiangguo obviously will never leave the county king's mansion, he is ready to kill himself. This kind of willingness to sacrifice his life and maintain his integrity, Wu Xiong can fully understand, this is like their generals, they would rather die on the battlefield than surrender and become a prisoner of others!

The prison was suddenly quiet, an old Xiangguo's guard suddenly ran in from the outside in a hurry, his footsteps in the quiet prison, it was particularly loud, he ran to the two of them, suddenly knelt in front of them, and said, "Two adults, please hurry up, Han Jiajun has begun to urgently assemble, it seems that he already knows about the meeting of the two adults, I believe that the royal city will be blocked soon, and I am afraid that the two adults will not be able to leave!"

Wu Xiong listened to the guard's report, his face was very solemn, and he said, "I'm afraid that the Han family army is not trying to block the royal city and prevent us from escaping, they urgently assembled, they should be going towards my Wu family army!"

Lao Xiangguo listened to Wu Xiong's words, and was taken aback, he said in a panic, "If Han Deng really mobilizes soldiers and horses to fight your Wu family's army, then the county king's mansion will be dangerous, your two armies of Wu and Han have always been the two main military pillars of the county king's mansion, and now you fight, it will inevitably be a lose-lose ending, and at that time, I am afraid that the county king's mansion will be greatly injured and will collapse!"

Wu Xiong also nodded and said, "Yes, if the two of us fight, the Junwang Mansion will be over!"

Old Xiangguo lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and said, "Who is the one who is designing a conspiracy and wants to kill my county palace?"

Wu Xiong shook his head, he couldn't figure out who was secretly operating, making them Wu and Han incompatible!

Lao Xiangguo couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about it, he raised his head and urged Wu Xiongdao, "You go quickly, rush back to the Wu family's army, you must lead the Wu family's army to avoid the edge of the Han family's army, don't really fight!"

Wu Xiong said proudly, "Hmph, I'm still afraid that Han Lantern won't work?"

Lao Xiangguo said, "I know you are not afraid of him, but you are really losing both, and the biggest loss is the Junwang Mansion, if there is a foreign enemy taking the opportunity to attack the Junwang Mansion, the Junwang Mansion may be wiped out, so I beg you, don't fight with Han Deng, you should repay my kindness, and you must be patient and retreat, you know?"

Wu Xiong was moved by the old Xiangguo's fierce loyalty to the king, he knelt down again, and said, "Wu Xiong admires the adult's personality, don't worry, as long as I Wu Xiong is here, I guarantee that Wu Jiajun will not fight with Han Jiajun!"

Lao Xiangguo was relieved, and he urged, "Okay, good, good, go, go..."

So Wu Xiong immediately left the prison, escorted by several old Xiangguo guards, hurriedly escaped from the royal city, and not long after they escaped from the royal city, the mighty Han army, lined up in a neat line, from the gate of the royal city, they divided into two ways, attacked the heavenly kingdom and the eastern palace.

Han Deng mobilized the Han family's army, and then wrote a table to the king, applying for the will to transfer soldiers and horses, he called it the first cut and then the prelude, but he said very urgently in his application, he said that the old Xiangguo had joined forces with Wu Xiong to rebel, and the Wu family army had begun to assemble, and the situation was urgent, so he had no choice but to report to the king after assembling the team first.

Gao Chang received Han Deng's application and was furious, he was not angry with Han Deng first, but angry at Lao Xiangguo and Wu Xiong, especially Lao Xiangguo, he actually dared to rebel, so he immediately issued an order to arrest more than 1,000 people from Lao Xiangguo's entire clan, and then executed.

Poor old Xiangguo was loyal to him all his life, but in the end he died tragically under his butcher's knife.

After Gao Chang killed Lao Xiangguo, he gathered his Royal Forest Army, and then took Lao Xiangguo's head and drove out of the royal city.

Wu Xiong at this moment, has rushed back to the Wu family's army, his return, let the Wu family army up and down a jubilation, morale is high, the deputy commander has long transferred the Wu army in the East Wangfu to the kingdom of heaven, but released the wrong information, so that Han Deng thought that there was still the Wu family army in the East Wangfu, so as to induce Han Deng to divide his troops to go to the East Wangfu.

"Commander, we are in the kingdom of heaven, and Han Deng has a big battle, Han Deng has fallen into the suspicious plan of his subordinates, and has divided half of his troops to go to the East Palace, but his subordinates have gathered all the Wu family troops in the kingdom of heaven, so we occupy an absolute advantage in strength, and we wait for work, but they are a long-distance attack, and we occupy a favorable position, so this battle, we have won!" the deputy commander reported to Wu Xiongxing.

Wu Xiong praised the deputy commander's preparations very much, he, a brother in life and death who shared hardships and hardships, followed him to fight in the south and the north, and had developed extraordinary military talents, and his pre-war preparations could indeed make this decisive battle with Han Deng winning.

But Wu Xiong calmly said two words that surprised everyone, "Retreat!"
