After Zang Di's order to summon his confidants was issued, the first to arrive at the scene was of course Zang Quan, the eldest son of Zang Di, who also lived in the palace of King Yan, but when he saw the body of the Han court envoy lying on the apse, and the ground was still full of blood, Zang Quan was naturally taken aback, and quickly asked Zang Di about the details.

Here is also a general talk about Zang Quan's situation, Zang Di's wife only has a daughter and no son, Zang Quan and Zang Yan, the prince of Yan State, were both born in Zang Di's side room, Zang Quan is old, and it stands to reason that he should be named the prince of Yan State, but because of the change of history, Zang Yan replaced the historical Zhao Shi and Zhai Xu to lead the Yan army south to reinforce the Han army, although his performance in the battle was not very outstanding, but he was also seriously injured for the Han army, and his actions also reflected his loyalty to the Han army. Therefore, Xiang Kangyue replaced Zang Di and abolished Chang Liyou, and named Zang Yan as the prince of Yan Kingdom as a reward for his loyalty to Zang Yan. - The conscience of heaven and earth, when making this decision, Xiang Kang really had no intention of deliberately sowing discord.

Xiang Kang has a clear conscience in this matter, but the biggest victim Zang Quan is angry and blows his chest, but it is a pity that Zang Quan is not a son-in-law, and he has not made any contributions to the Han army, Xiang Kang rewarded Zang Yan for meritorious service to the Han army, and it is justifiable that his thin arms can't twist his thick thighs, Zang Quan had no choice but to bury his bitter hatred for Xiang Kang and Han Ting deep in his heart, so he fully supported his father Zang Tu to rebel, and the purpose was nothing else, that is, he wanted to take the opportunity to replace Zang Yan's position as the prince.

In such a background, knowing that it was my father who personally killed the envoy of the Han Dynasty and took the lead in opening the prelude to the Yan Kingdom, Zang Quan of course was not only not panicked and afraid, but on the contrary, he was ecstatic, and couldn't wait to point to the corpse of the envoy of the Han Court and said to Zang Dijin: "Father, the matter is very high, in order to gain time, we must temporarily block the news." Erchen thinks that we might as well deceive all the entourage of this puppet outside the palace in the name of giving a banquet, so as not to quickly leak the news, so that the court can prepare in advance for the eyeliner placed in our Yan Kingdom. ”

Zang Di thought about it carefully and found that it was the same, so he immediately nodded in agreement, and handed over the matter to Zang Quan, who was more impulsive and radical than himself, to handle it, so when Zhao She, Zhai Xu, and Zhang Sheng hurried to the Yan King's Palace to meet Zang Di, the ten entourages brought by the Han court envoy were already all in the palace, turning into the sword of the Yan State guards.

is different from the elated Zang Quan, seeing such a picture, and knowing the general story of the incident from the angry Zang Tu, Zhao She, Zhai Xuan and others all complained in a row, and even Zhang Sheng, who was the first to encourage Zang Tu to rebel, couldn't help but stomp his feet and said: "It's too impulsive!" You're too impulsive, King! Why should you be in such a hurry to kill such an insignificant messenger with your own hands, and to drive us to a dead end where we have to do it immediately? ”

"This puppet wants the widow to rush to Guanzhong to meet Xiang Kang's little vertical son before the first day of the third month!" Zang Di roared angrily: "Time is so urgent, if the widow doesn't kill him immediately, won't he have to go to Guanzhong to die immediately?" ”

"King, you can temporarily talk to him and Xiang Kang Xiaozixu and the snake." Zhang Sheng said helplessly: "King, you can pretend to agree first, first trick this puppet back to send the letter, let Xiang Kang's little vertical son feel at ease for the time being, don't be in a hurry, and then we can take the opportunity to expand the armament war, and then ask the Huns for reinforcements, and then do it, isn't the situation much better than doing it now?" ”

Zang Tu was speechless, and only then did he regret his impulsiveness, and he had to say this: "The person has been killed, so let's do it, the widow has already made up his mind, and immediately slaughter all the bullshit county imperial histories that the imperial court has planted in our Yan Kingdom, and at the same time issue an edict, officially announcing the independence of the army, and fighting with Xiang Kang's little vertical son to break the net!" ”

Seeing that things had come to this point, Zhang Sheng and Zang Quan, who were resolutely on Zang Di's side, had no choice but to immediately fall to the ground and sing a promise, but unfortunately Yan Xiangzhao and Guangyang County Shou Zhai Xuan looked obviously hesitant, and did not dare to immediately prostrate themselves to the ground. Didn't you swear to support the widows in the first place? Now that the widow has made a decision, why don't you dare to obey the edict? Could it be that you covet the Marquis of the Yuan clan and the Marquis of the Ho that Xiang Kang Xiao'er gave you, and plan to defect on the verge of battle? ”

Zhao Shi and Zhai Xuan were helpless when they heard this, so they had to quickly kneel down on their knees together, and swore to follow Zang Di again, and at the same time, the two of them muttered in their hearts together: "The emperor gave us the Marquis of the Yuan clan and the Marquis of the pickaxe?" What do you mean? How did we not know about this? ”

Still after seeing Zhao She's tail and Zhai Xu's re-swearing oath, Zang Di's anger subsided slightly, and he hurriedly re-announced his decision, ordering the Yan Palace guards to immediately dispatch to the city to arrest and imprison the imperial history of Guangyang County appointed by the Han Dynasty, and at the same time to order the five counties of Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi and Liaodong, and take down all the county imperial history there and take them to Jicheng, but if there is resistance, they can be killed immediately. In addition, Zang Di immediately ordered Zhang Sheng to write a letter for himself on the spot, so as to rebel against the reputation of the tyrant Xiang Kang.

On the bow, Zhang Sheng could only hurriedly pick up the pen and write the soldier's inscription, and then Zang Di shouted at Zhao Shi and Zhai Xu: "You, immediately order all the Yan army to assemble and prepare for war, and all the troops that can be drawn are transferred to Jicheng to wait for their orders, and there is to immediately expand the army, recruit all the young and strong men who can go to the battlefield in the country, and organize the army as quickly as possible, and when the army is assembled, immediately send troops to Hengshan County, and kill the court lackeys there Yan Shao!" ”

Zhao Shi and Zhai Xuan hurriedly sang the promise, and then Zhao Shi turned off the tail and asked cautiously: "King, do you plan to let our army take the initiative?" Preemptively attack the imperial court? ”

"Of course, the southern part of Yandi is open, there is no danger to defend, if we blindly take a defensive position, and when the imperial court gathers the army, we will only be left to be beaten passively, so the best way can only be to take the first move, take Hengshan County to hold the Jingcheng Pass, hold the Yuchi River, and buy time for our reinforcements."

After all, he was born in the army, Zang Di is indeed very good in the military, and immediately came up with a quite reliable combat plan, and said: "Fortunately, our detailed work has an accurate report, although Li Zuoche's puppet is now inspecting the Great Wall, but he did not bring too many troops from Yanmen to Dai County, in a short time, he can only use Dai County's army at most to rescue Hengshan County, we have time and opportunity." ”

"Father, King Shengming." Zang Quan hurriedly opened his mouth to flatter and said: "It is true that we should rush to Hengshan County, and Zhao Hui, the guard of Julu County to the south, is Zhao Xie's cronies. Even if we can't win him over, with his position, he will definitely not really fight us to the end, and we can ignore it for the time being. ”

Zang Di nodded, admitting that this was the truth, but Zhao Shi and Zhai Xuan exchanged a look helplessly, and then said: "It's just like this, I just hope that Yan Shao is not prepared enough, and don't gather too many troops too quickly to resist our Yan army, otherwise, if we can't quickly take Dongyuan and Jingcheng, and the main force is far away from the national capital for a long time, the trouble will definitely be big." ”

Zang Tu pursed his lips, unwilling to deduce this dangerous situation from the bottom of his heart, and then yelled: "What are you still doing? All move, Quan'er, you are responsible for writing a letter to Zhao Hui, and the widow personally writes a letter to Wu Rui, persuading them to raise troops to respond to us! Zhang Sheng, after you finish writing the text, immediately write a letter to Xiongnu Shan Yu, asking him to send troops to help us! Zhao Shi turned off the tail, Zhai Xu, you two immediately write military orders for me, recruit troops and assemble troops! ”

Everyone sang the promise, hurriedly put pen to write a letter and draft a military order, and then it was also a coincidence, Zhao Shi and Zhai Xuan wrote the relatively simple military order and handed it to Zang Di to use the seal, Zang Di just handed over the sealed military order to them to go down to execute, and the voice of Zang Yan, the prince of Yan State, asked to see him outside the hall, Zang Di frowned when he heard it, and said after a little calculation: "You go down first to recruit the army and get people, call Yan'er in, and it's time for the widow to ask him to make a statement." ”

Look at Zang Quan with a cruel smile on his face next to him, Zhao Shi and Zhai Xu also understood the changes in the old Zang family's family, and they didn't want to mix this kind of bad thing, Zhao Shi and Zhai Xu of course immediately sang a promise to retire, but to Zhao She's tail and Zhai Xu's surprise, they passed shoulders with Zang Yan who looked hurried and obviously heard the wind in front of the apse, and didn't go forward for long, and the little eunuch Zhongxing, who was very much loved by Zang Di, quickly caught up and said: "Xiangguo, Junzun, please take a step slowly, the king still has an explanation." ”

Zhao Shi turned his tail and Zhai Xuan stopped, and the Bank of China said that he first drank back the guards standing guard next to him, and then came to them and whispered: "The matter is urgent, the king forgot to explain a major matter just now, after you leave the palace, you must immediately go to order all borders, in the name of the Xiongnu entering the land of Kouyan, immediately block all border traffic, and no one is allowed to enter and leave the Yan country." ”

Zhao Shi and Zhai Xuan hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then when the Bank of China said that he turned around to say goodbye, Zhao Shi turned off the tail and suddenly moved in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Bank of China Xiaohuangmen, please wait a while, the official still wants to ask you about something, and I hope that Xiaohuangmen will tell you the truth." ”

"Xiangguo, please command, the slave and maid must know everything, and say everything." The Bank of China said and replied with a smile.

"Dare to ask Xiao Huangmen, what does the king mean when he said just now that the emperor named us the Marquis of the Yuan Clan and the Marquis of the Pickaxe?" Zhao Shi lowered his voice and asked.

Hearing this, of course, Zhai Xuan next to him immediately pricked up his ears, but the Bank of China said with a smile and did not speak, Zhao Shi turned his tail to know his temper, and hurriedly ripped off the exquisite jade pendant on his waist, stuffed it into the hand of the Bank of China, and said with a smile: "I entered the palace in a hurry, I didn't bring anything decent, a little gadget, Xiao Huangmen took it to play with first, and the Japanese official must be thankful." ”

In short, Zhai Xuan also hurriedly ripped off his portable jade pendant and stuffed it to the Bank of China, and the Bank of China immediately opened his mouth and said in a low voice: "In fact, the envoy of the imperial court, this time brought three imperial edicts, the third edict is to seal Zhao Xiangguo, you are the Marquis of the Yuan family, and the real Feng Zhai Jun respects you as the Marquis of the Pickaxe, and concurrently serves as the false appearance of the Yan State, so that you can act for the king during the period when the king and the prince leave the Yan Kingdom, and act for the king all the military and political affairs of the Yan Kingdom." It's just that the king forgot to tell you that there is also this third edict, and then he accidentally leaked it. Zhao Xiangguo, Zhai Junzun, you understand now, right? ”

Zhao Shi and Zhai Xuan didn't say much, but immediately thanked the Bank of China, and saw the Bank of China say that he would return to the apse to return to Zang Di, and then quickly glanced at each other, and said secretly: "Okay, King, I didn't expect you to be so worried about us, afraid that we would be bribed by the court and take away your real power, so I was so anxious to rebel, and I hid this big matter from us!" Very good! ”

Of course, the poor Yan King Zang Di didn't know that he had been bought by his favorite little eunuch Zhongxing, at this moment, Zang Di just directly showdown to his son Zang Yan, asking Zang Yan to choose between himself and Han Ting, but Zang Di himself was surprised, and also made Zang Di's eldest son Zang Quan angry, after listening to Zang Di's decision, Zang Yan just thought about it a little, and then bowed down to Zang Di and said: "Since my father has made up his mind, the ministers there will not say much, please rest assured that my father is willing to make a heavy oath, Fully support my father's army! ”

Seeing that the most dangerous son's attitude was so resolute, Zang Di was of course surprised and happy, but Zang Quan next to him was both surprised and angry, and couldn't help but say directly: "Brother, are you saying this from the bottom of your heart?" You, the prince of Yan Kingdom, are sealed by the emperor and the court! ”

"Brother rest assured, my brother's words are definitely from the bottom of my heart." Zang Yan's answer once again surprised Zang Di and Zang Quan's father and son, and said very calmly: "The emperor first used the establishment of a workshop as an excuse to play with our father, and then deliberately issued an edict asking my father to go to Guanzhong with his younger brother, forcing our Yan Kingdom to disarm, and it is clear that he wants to force our father to rebel, since the emperor and the court can't tolerate my father, how can he tolerate me, the prince of Yan Kingdom?" The emperor and the court got rid of my father, and the next target in the Yan Kingdom must be me, the crown prince of the Yan Kingdom, I still understand this truth. ”

"And." Zang Yan saluted Zang Quan again, and took the initiative to say: "Please rest assured, the younger brother also knows that you should be the prince of Yan Kingdom, so as long as we succeed in raising troops and allow Yan Land to expand our territory, after my father returns to heaven for a hundred years, my younger brother is willing to divide Yan Kingdom into two and be king with you, Brother." ”

I didn't expect my younger brother to be so direct and reasonable, Zang Quan couldn't help but open his mouth wide, and suddenly had some admiration and guilt for Zang Yan, and hurriedly returned the salute to Zang Yan, and said sincerely: "Brother, it's Brother who is not good, I blame you, I really didn't expect that you can be so profound." ”

"Hahaha!" Seeing that his two most powerful sons were so united, Zang Di was of course overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up his two sons with his own hands, hugged his two sons and said with a smile: "Brothers work together, and their profits are gold!" Now that you two brothers are so aware of the righteousness and united, the widow no longer has any worries. You can rest assured, as long as you assist your father to accomplish great things, your father will take care of it and lay a big territory for you, so that you can each be kings! ”

The unexpected unity of the two sons certainly increased Zang Di's confidence, and what made Zang Di even more excited was that because the strength of the Han Dynasty in Yandi was too weak, his plan to raise troops and rebel was very successful, and several officials placed by the Han Dynasty in Jicheng were all taken down on the same day, and the Yan army in Guangyang County also completed the pre-war preparations in just one day, and rushed to Jicheng as quickly as possible. At the same time, after Zang Di decided to raise his troops at the court meeting, the officials of Yan State who attended the meeting, regardless of whether they were sincere or not, all chose to support Zang Di to raise troops, and vowed to fight with Han Ting to break the net!

During this period, the messengers who contacted Zhao Hui, Wu Rui and the Xiongnu also set off separately, rushing to Julu and Hengshan as fast as possible to encourage Zhao Hui and Wu Rui to raise troops to respond to the Yan army, and also to ask for help from the Xiongnu who were about to move north to breed livestock, and promised countless money, food and materials, asking the Xiongnu Shan Yu to immediately send troops to reinforce the Yan State and help the Yan army resist the counterinsurgency army that the Han Dynasty would definitely dispatch soon - this is also the most important, if there is no support from the Xiongnu, with the weak national strength of the Yan State, Whether it can be supported in front of Hanting for three or four months is a big question.

Immediately after, relying on the secret preparation in advance, it only took six days before and after, the Yan army gathered 20,000 troops including some recruits in Jicheng, and had the strength to take the initiative to attack. Then he personally led the army south to reinforce Zang Quan and Zhao She.

In order to boost morale and motivate the morale of the army, when Zang Quan and Zhao Shi turned off the tail and led the army to set off first, Zang Tu of course held a very grand oath meeting, in addition to rewarding the three armies and inviting a very famous Yan Di divination divination out of a good fortune hexagram, Zang Di also personally ascended the high altar, read out the military documents in public, and went through several items of Kang's various perverse acts since he ascended the throne, cruel tyranny, and swore to take off the head of the tyrant Xiang Kang with his own hands, and the Yan army was also happy and morale was boosted by the three armies. In the end, Zang Di also waved his hand and shouted: "Let's go!" Defeat the tyrant Xiang Kang and overthrow the tyrant court! ”

In the sound of ceremonial music, 20,000 soldiers of the Yan Army lined up in a neat formation, holding high the sea-blue Yan Army flag and set off to the south in turn. made a good start, so that Zhao Hui and Wu Rui had the courage to follow the king and share the pressure for the king. Also, the most important thing is that the Huns must send troops to help the widow as soon as possible, otherwise, even if they win temporarily, the consequences will definitely be difficult to predict. ”

As if God really heard Zang Di's sincere prayer, at this time, the little eunuch Zhongxing said that he suddenly rushed to the high altar quickly, and said to Zang Di breathlessly: "King Qiyu, I just received an urgent report from Shanggu County, the Huns are ......, cough cough cough!" ”

Because he was running too fast, when it came to the key paragraph, the Bank of China couldn't help but let out a violent cough, and he couldn't continue to talk for a long time. Did the Huns already send troops to help us? ”

The answer to Zang Di was a smile that the Bank of China said was coughing and squeezing out with difficulty, a smile that was more ugly than crying......
