Shi Yan is Shi Donglai's eldest son, because his father's leg is inconvenient, he ran for his father.

In fact, Shi Donglai also wanted his eldest son to have more contact with King Jin, the eldest son was the heir of his family, and he had to be able to take charge of himself and not rely on himself for everything.

Shi Eun was about fifty years old, and in his early years in Hexi, he became very familiar with Guo Song and established a good personal relationship.

In the reception hall, Shi Eun was pacing back and forth with a heavy heart, today is the first day of the new year, is it appropriate to tell King Jin the news?

But the news was really important and he couldn't delay any longer.

At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and when Shi Eun turned around, he saw Guo Song walking over quickly, followed by Pan Liao and Zhang Qiu'an.

Shi Yan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "See His Royal Highness King Jin!" ”

"You're welcome, just sit down and talk! Is there something wrong with Broken Leaves? ”

Shi Yan nodded, "I just received news from the third uncle Shi Dongyu that Broken Leaf City has been lost!" ”

Guo Song was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Why did you lose it, who captured it?" ”

"Attacked by the Khazarian army and captured Shattered Leaf City."

"What about Ma Weijiang? Don't worry, tell me in detail what happened. ”

"Back to Your Highness, about two months ago, the black-clothed Dashi sent 30,000 troops from Khorasan to Shiguo, a month ago, the black-clothed Dashi suddenly attacked the thirsty city of Bahanna, and the Tang army defending the city asked for help from Broken Leaves, Ma Weijiang asked the main general of the Khazar army to send troops to Bahanna, and the Khazar army seemed to have a part of the army, and Ma Weijiang personally led 20,000 troops to attack Bahanna, about ten days ago, Glolin suddenly led 10,000 troops to attack Broken Leaf and captured Broken Leaf City, I don't know the situation of Broken Leaf in Bahanna, I only know that Broken Leaf was lost."

"Bang!" Guo Song slammed his fist on the table in annoyance.

"This is the strategic partner introduced by Ma Weijiang? I was so disappointed that I had clearly introduced a wolf and was eventually devoured by a wolf. ”

"Your Highness will calm your anger first!"

Pan Liao persuaded: "Now the news from Anxi has not come yet, let's see if Ma Weijiang can counterattack Broken Leaf and succeed." ”

Guo Song shook his head, "Do you think it's possible?" But they are facing an army of 30,000 ** sharp, will the Great Food give him a chance? ”

Zhang Qiu'an also persuaded: "Since the matter has happened, it is useless for us to be anxious, we can only figure out the situation first, and see if Ma Weijiang wants to lead the army to withdraw to Beiting, Your Highness, this is not something that can be solved in a while, we can only take a long-term view." ”

Guo Song can only think about it, he is really depressed in his heart, on the first day of the new year, something happened to Broken Leaf.

...........

The news of broken leaves will not arrive until at least ten days and a half months, so let's not mention it for the time being.

Let's turn the clock back one day, to noon on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

The ancestral hall of the Tian family in Yuancheng County, the sacrifice of the Tian family began at noon, Tian Chenghei's sons, brothers and nephews, and the Tian clan people who came from Yanmen County, Hedong, there were one or two hundred people in total.

The sacrifice of the Tian family is more complicated, first the ancestors of the Tian family, the sacrifice at noon, then drinking and eating, and in the middle of the night, Tian Yue also has to lead his brother and uncle to sacrifice Tian Chenghei.

Because Tian Chengsi founded the Wei State, there will be ministers and generals to participate in the sacrifice together, which is not an ordinary family sacrifice, but more like a national sacrifice.

After the family sacrifice at noon, it is the time for the whole clan to have a dinner, Tian has always been heroic, drinking wine like a cow, everyone takes turns to toast to Tian Yue, Tian Yue can not stop the enthusiasm of the clansmen, I don't know how many big bowls I drink, and I am drunk.

Several soldiers helped him to sleep in the back room of the ancestral hall.

Tian Xu hid aside, drinking while paying attention to Tian Yue's every move.

Xu Shi told him that there would be a chance to appear today, let him seize this opportunity, Tian Xu found that there was indeed a chance, only a few of Tian Yue's three hundred personal soldiers followed him, and Tian Yue fell drunk in the ancestral hall, not the well-defended Wei Wangfu, Tian Xu immediately realized that the opportunity had come.

Of course he won't do it himself, he has ambushed a hundred dead soldiers, and he can frame the mountain bandit Li Bao in Chiyan Village, in order to cooperate with Tian Xu, Li Bao received Zhu Zhu's order, and specially led the crowd to appear in the area of Yuancheng, once Tian Xu succeeded, they would appear and focus everyone's suspicions on him.

Tian Yue was drunk and fell asleep in the back room of the ancestral hall, and several personal guards stood at the door, their main duty was to prevent someone from breaking in by mistake and disturbing the lord's rest.

At this time, several white-clothed people appeared on the back wall, they jumped over the wall lightly, and they went to the back window of the house with a roll, the leader poked a hole in the window, looked inside, and saw Tian Yue lying on his back on the bed asleep, snoring resounded throughout the room, and then looked around, but he didn't see the personal guard.

The leader of the man in white was overjoyed, he took out his dagger and pried open the back window, pointed to the window behind his subordinates, and the two subordinates hurriedly propped up the window for him, and the leader of the man in white jumped into the room lightly, and quickly swept to the side of the bed.

Slowly pulled out the horizontal knife, he raised the horizontal knife high, and slashed it hard, poor Tian Yue was asleep, without any precautions, and was cut off by a knife......

"Who?"

The two personal guards guarding the door of the outroom heard the movement and immediately rushed in.

Several white-clothed men in the window shot crossbow arrows at the same time, and one of the guards was shot, and immediately let out a scream.

Covered by the crossbow arrows, the leader of the men in white jumped out of the back window and led the group to flee over the wall.

At this time, the guards outside rushed in and found that the lord's body had been separated, and they were immediately shocked and shouted, and the Tian clansmen who were drinking heard the news and ran over, but they learned that Tian Yue, the king of Wei, had been assassinated, and everyone was stunned.

Tian Xu was furious and shouted: "The assassins must still be in the city, immediately close the city gates, search thoroughly, and they will be broken into thousands of pieces!" ”

.........

The news of Tian Yue's killing quickly spread throughout the city, and Meng Xiyou, the defense of Yuancheng, had already been bought by Tian Xu, and he immediately ordered the city gate to be closed, the whole city was under martial law, and the assassins were captured.

Tian Xu put on a helmet and armor, held a big sword, and led two thousand troops to rush to the west gate, only to see that the west gate was in a mess, corpses were all over the ground, the city gate was wide open, and someone escaped.

"What's going on?" Tian Xu yelled.

The captain stepped forward and said tremblingly: "General Qiyu, just now, a group of people, about four or five hundred people, suddenly killed out. ”

"Who are they?" Meng Xiyou asked next to him.

"The person at the head seems to be Li Bao!"

"Chiyan Village Li Bao?" Tian Xu was stunned.

"Looks like it's him!"

Tian Xu and Meng Xiyou looked at each other, everyone knew that Li Bao's back was Zhu Zhu, Li Bao appeared in Yuancheng at this time, I am afraid that the death of King Wei is related to Zhu Zhu.

Tian Xu sent an army to chase Li Bao, and he immediately convened the generals in the Wei Palace, which was the New Year, and Wang Yu went back to his hometown in Bozhou to worship his ancestors, and the military advisor was only Xu Shize.

Meng Xiyou said to everyone: "Li Bao broke out of the city just now, the death of the King of Wei must be related to Zhu Zhu, everyone, Zhu Zhu's army will inevitably take the opportunity to invade the north, when the life and death of Wei are at stake, we must immediately prepare for war, I suggest that General Shenwu be appointed as the envoy of Jiedu." ”

The general of Shenwu is Tian Xu, the generals immediately discussed, no one expressed support, Tian Xu was greedy for money and lustful, and he was not convinced, Tian Xu was a little anxious, he stepped out and said loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet, listen to me." ”

The generals quieted down, Tian Xu said: "I understand everyone's feelings, I, Tian Xu, am not greedy for my brother's throne, I just don't want to see my father's foundation destroyed by Zhu Zhu's dog thief, I must stand up, I assure you with my father's spirit in the sky, I am only temporarily leading the Jiedu envoy, and I will not serve as the king of Wei, when my nephew grows up, I will definitely return the Jiedu envoy to him and support him as the king of Wei." ”

This is Xu Shize's plan, Tian Xu is only temporarily leading the Jiedu to make the throne, not the king of Wei, so that everyone's resistance will be a little less.

As for swearing, it's just a play on words, and when the nephew grows up, he will return the seat to him, but what if the nephew doesn't grow up?

Tian Xu made it clear that he was only temporarily acting as the leader, not the king of Wei, and he was vouching in the name of the old prince, and the generals considered that in case Zhu Zhu really attacked, it would be really difficult for them to resist, and everyone reluctantly expressed their willingness to obey Tian Xu's command and resist Zhu Zhu's attack.

Tian Xu got his wish and sat on the throne of Jiedu envoy, but he was still unwilling in his heart, and in the room, he said to Xu Shi a little annoyed: "What I want is the King of Wei." This Webber festival makes it a fart! ”

Xu Shi said with a gloomy smile: "Sixth Master, whether it is the position of the King of Wei, or the position of the Jiedu Envoy, in fact, it is all virtual, military power is the most important, as long as the Sixth Master has mastered the military power, don't say King Wei, you can be the emperor." ”

Tian Xu was right to think about it, he felt a lot more comfortable, and asked again, "What should I do now?" ”

Xu Shi said lightly: "There are two things that are urgent now, one is to open Tian Yue's vault and reward the gold, silver and jewelry to the powerful generals to win people's hearts; And the second thing is to send someone to Bozhou to kill Wang Yu. ”
