The national capital of the real country, Wang Weicheng, is located on the south bank of the middle section of the Datong River, the steep city wall in the north is only more than ten miles away from the surging river, this middle section of the terrain is open, guarding the pass that lands from the south bank, but it is a good place for the garrison camp.

However, the south and west of the city are built according to the mountainous terrain, and the mountain range that stretches from the west is connected with the Yuntou Mountain dozens of miles away, and the mountain is steep and has many cliffs, which can be called a natural barrier.

At the beginning, Wang Weiman led his soldiers and horses to cross the eastern border of Liaodong to this place, and he chose to build the capital here because of the favorable terrain here. The so-called "king's spirit, the precipitous city" is a vivid portrayal of the king's dangerous city.

With the trump card order issued from Jingyang Palace, all the nearby Zhenban troops began to assemble towards Wangxian City. The 20,000 elite of the imperial battalion originally stationed in the large camp outside the city changed their defenses and entered the city, and together with nearly 10,000 guards who had been in the city, they guarded the four sides of Wang Wei City. The more than 30,000 local troops who arrived were stationed on the banks of the Datong River to closely defend the movement of the Han army's buildings.

After everything was arranged, King Wei listened to the report of the third prince, and his heart settled down a little. With the protection of more than 60,000 elite troops, he regained some confidence. With a strong royal city, abundant reserves, and elite subordinates several times larger than the enemy, it is bound to be difficult for the Han army from afar to break through the royal city!

King Wei has already sent an envoy to the grassland royal court to ask for help. He believed that the tragic experience of the 5,000 Hun cavalry being buried alive would definitely deeply anger the Huns Shan Yuyi. This violent king would never endure such a disgrace. As long as he sent a large army to support him in a fit of rage, everything would be easy.

Wang Weicheng is so strong, and he has more than 60,000 soldiers and horses on hand, no matter how powerful the Han army is, how can it be so easy to win in the siege battle! As long as they can defend the city and consume it with them, let this elite Han army become tired of the long expedition, and then destroy it with the Hun cavalry to repay the humiliation of the previous defeated army, this is the latest strategy they planned against the enemy.

King Wei handed over the command of the troops outside the city to his most talented youngest son, Wei Wuji. At such a critical moment, only his son is the most trustworthy. Several generals in the army in the city who led the troops were also the henchmen cultivated by King Wei, and their loyalty naturally could not be doubted. With the protection of these trusted people, Wei Youqu felt that nothing was wrong.

It's just that there will always be many surprises in the world. In the defense that Wei Wang Junchen thought was impregnable, there were actually big loopholes. An impregnable city, in addition to strong walls, loyal armies, and sharp weapons, has one of the most important things, that is, the desire of the people and the firm will.

It's a pity that the royal family, which established the real country by violent means, never realized this. In their consistent understanding, as long as they have soldiers and swords in their hands, they will be fine. If you don't accept it, you can slaughter it!

It is not surprising to say, "the righteous are more helped, and the unrighteous are less helped", how can such a profound truth be understood by barbarian people? Therefore, some defeats have long been doomed, but the rulers who advocate violence cannot see these things and cannot think of them until they die.

On this day when the soldiers and horses were assembled and the rumors were raging, the Minister of State Cui Mingzhen fell ill, and he was very sick, and it was said that he had an acute disease, and his condition deteriorated in just two days, and he had reached the point where he could not walk on the ground.

King Wei sent a court historian to visit Cui's Mansion once, saying that it was more routine to care about the old ministers, and to see if it was true or false by the way. Don't say that the current situation is critical, and King Wei has no time to take care of these, even in normal times, he doesn't have any concern at all about this minister of state, who doesn't have much effect. In the heart of this king, he can't wait for the Prime Minister and his family to be finished soon! Fortunately, there are a lot less scruples in the court.

Anyway, Cui Mingzhen is an old minister of the country after all, and the Cui family is a century-old family, and there are many protégés in the court. Since the king has sent people to visit, some courtiers naturally can't lag behind, and they have been visiting the palace one after another in the past few days. In this turbulent situation, the situation is unclear, and people are panicked when talking about it, so naturally there is no need to elaborate.

In the afternoon, a few more visitors came to Cui's mansion together, they seemed to have made an appointment together, and as if they had met by accident, after meeting each other, they did not look surprised, but nodded to each other, and some things had already been tacitly understood by each other.

Soon after, in a secret room deep in the back garden of the Cui Mansion, a special secret discussion began. If Wei Wang Youqu saw everyone present at this moment, he would definitely be surprised.

In the court of the real country, there are several big families entrenched in the power, which occupies a large part. The surnames of these families are Choi, Kim, Jeong, Hyun, Park, and Han. The court officials subordinate to them hold many important positions, which can be said to be pivotal and must not be ignored.

Today, in this secret room in the Cui Mansion, there are actually important people from four of the families, except for the Jin family and the Zheng family, who have a close relationship with the Wei royal family, no one is present, and the heads of the other four families are all there. And the legendary Cui Mingzhen, who is seriously ill, actually sits on the top, which makes people feel a little unusual.

Cui Mingzhen's face was a little pale, he was indeed a little sick, but it was definitely not as serious as it was in front of the visitors. Those are all disguises of last resort, and they are a last resort in order not to arouse the suspicion of King Wei. Its real purpose is nothing more than this gathering with the other three principals today.

Cui, Xuan, Park, and Han are all old families in this country, and they have a close relationship with each other, they are all large families with large numbers and complex roots, and for the sake of the family and future generations, they have to take huge risks to discuss a safe way back.

At such a moment, there is no need to hide what is going to be done. The opportunity is fleeting, and if you don't seize it as soon as possible, maybe it will be a monstrous disaster in the blink of an eye.

Although he already had a premonition and was mentally prepared in his heart, at this moment, listening to the minister, who everyone has always believed in, say his plan, they are still silent, nervously weighing the pros and cons, and no one speaks for the time being.

Cui Mingzhen is not in a hurry, everyone is a smart person, and they should know what is the most advantageous choice. He waited silently, waiting for everyone to say their attitude. He actually has a hole card in his hand, but it's not yet time to reveal.

Sure enough, a moment later, someone coughed lightly and began to speak, or rather make a final determination.

"Cui Xiang, you are the leader of all of us, and for so many years, thanks to your secret support, everyone has been able to enjoy peace and prosperity. Although we don't usually say this, we all understand it very well in our hearts and are very grateful. ”

After the head of the Li family said these words, the two of them also nodded yes one after another, which is a fact. Cui Mingzhen nodded slightly, signaling that there was no need to say these useless words, and there was anything difficult to decide, let them just say it.

"Alas! It's just that this time it's a big deal, but it's about the lives of our families. If you are not careful, it will be a catastrophe for tens of thousands of people to die without a place to bury...... Cui Xiang, will it really be safe for us to do this? Those Han people are so trustworthy? Can a mere Han army general represent the will of their emperor? ”

Seeing that they finally asked the most concerned words, Cui Mingzhen sighed softly, these questions actually bothered him for many days. Ever since the first Han Chinese came to secretly contact him, he had been thinking and hesitating in his heart, and what he was worried about was the same as what the three people in front of him were worried about. That is the safety and future of the family.

But later, as he learned more and more things, his emotions gradually settled down, and a certain determination became stronger day by day. Until today, the Han army finally attacked the city of Wangwei, and if he didn't make a decision as soon as possible, just like the Han man said to him, it was too late! On the day the city was broken, in the midst of the war, the consequences of blessings and disasters were unpredictable.

Thinking of this, Cui Mingzhen no longer hesitated, he had to unify everyone's thoughts in the shortest possible time, and the four of them acted together to organize their greatest strength in order to complete this matter to the best.

"Three brothers, with our life-and-death friendship for so many years. I, Cui Mingzhen, will never lead everyone to jump into the fire pit, at this point, please put your heart in your stomach first. The decision we are going to make is the best option in the current situation. To tell the truth, the liaison envoy of the Han people is in Cui's mansion, and the guarantee conditions he promised are all promised by the Han army general this time, and he will definitely not regret it. ”

At this point, he paused slightly, saw the three of them move slightly, and knew that they had all been moved, so he continued.

"As for the attitude of the emperor of the Han Dynasty that you are worried about, there is no need to worry about this. Because the generals of the Han Dynasty who came this time can represent the will of the emperor and have full authority over all matters. I have fully understood, it turns out that he is the first favorite minister in front of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the Changle Marquis Yuanzhao who is deeply feared by the Huns! ”

As soon as he said this, the three people were also taken aback, and secretly said at the same time in their hearts, no wonder the Han army can win even the battle, no one dares to stop its edge, it turns out that the general who led the troops was the one who beheaded King Zuo Xian outside Yanmen Pass and slaughtered six thousand Hun iron horsemen! Against this person, where can the real army have any chance of winning?!

"I see! If it weren't for Cui Xiang's reasoning, knowing his safety, and reminding him, we would almost have missed this last opportunity to save the family! ”

"Yes, yes! The city of Wang is in danger! Wei Wang ...... It seems to be dangerous, too. We are willing to follow what Cui Xiang did and do great things together! ”

"Okay, let's do big things together, and never regret ......!"

Seeing that they were all resolute and swearing, Cui Mingzhen was overjoyed, and this matter was done! He clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to calm down. Then he walked to the door inside, reached out and pulled the door open, and bowed down from the inside to invite someone out.

"The departed prince is here, and he can discuss important matters ...... together!"
