Chapter 333

Yuan Zhao, who forced back the robbers with a knife and returned to the Black Eagle Army's garrison, did not take what had just happened to heart. What he needs to pay attention to now is the latest news that has just been delivered back from Wang Wei City.

The planned time for action has been set, and it will be chosen for the palace banquet tomorrow night. At that time, the people who the four major families and Prince Wei Liren had already contacted would suddenly attack in the palace and kidnap King Wei. At the same time, the south gate of Wang Wei City will be opened, and the fire will be raised at that time, hoping that the Han army will be able to respond in time.

Yuan Zhao rolled up the strip of cloth full of words and smiled with satisfaction, everything was going according to his thoughts. If the action goes well, the morning after tomorrow, the banner of the Han army will be fluttering on the head of the city of Wangxian.

Although there are variables, it is necessary to guard against them. But Yuan Zhao had already predetermined victory in his heart. Now, what he will have to consider is no longer how to fight against the defending army, but how to win over the people's hearts in the shortest possible time and quickly stabilize the situation, so as to lay a good foundation in advance for the next step of assigning these 3,000 miles of mountains and rivers to the territory of the Han Dynasty.

After the victory of the conquest, the land of Zhenfan was attributed to the Han Dynasty, which was a national policy set with His Majesty the Emperor long before Yuan Zhao left Chang'an. This extraterritorial land, rather than waiting for the countless troubles it brought to the Central Plains later, it is better to take it into your hands now, and transform and control it according to your own methods. Yuan Zhao was very sure that the people living in this land would be completely transformed into Han people, so that they would become the help of the Han Empire from now on, and would no longer be a burden.

Yuan Zhao finally issued an order to prepare for war for the entire Han army, including both the Black Eagle Army and the 4,000 Han army infantry led by Xun Yu. When everyone heard the news, they were naturally excited. It was so smooth to capture the enemy king's city, and it was only a month since it left Chang'an, which could not be regarded as a miracle.

The soldiers naturally don't think as much as Yuan Zhao, in their hearts, as long as they can win the battle, those things in the court are not something they need to consider. This expedition is really true, as long as Wang Weicheng is won again, it will be a merit of destroying the country, and a reward is naturally indispensable. The most important thing is a sense of honor, such a rare victory, in the future, I have participated in it, and there is an honor.

With Zhao Yuan leading the elite personnel of "Xuanji" to plan in Wangxian City, Yuan Zhao was very relieved. Even if there were other variables, he believed they would be able to overcome them. This elite team that has been cultivated by his own hands, if he can't even do this well, then he can only admit that he loses.

However, this is not going to happen. Yuan Zhao looked at the direction of Wang Xiancheng in the night with a smile, looking forward to the exciting drama that was about to take place there.

The atmosphere inside and outside Wang Wei City was still very tense. Some chaotic rumors are circulating everywhere in the city, and those ordinary people have understood their current situation in such an atmosphere.

The Han army is coming! The invincible Black Hawk army was said to be less than fifty miles from the city. What the fate of the future will be, these residents of the royal city have no bottom in their hearts. But those rumors are still very reassuring. The Han army never killed innocent people, and their enemies were the stubborn King Wei and his noble ministers.

Not only ordinary people, but also some of the upper echelons of the city also have a lot of panic in their hearts, can King Wei's army defeat the upcoming Han army? No one has a bottom in his heart.

It was in such an atmosphere that King Wei convened a grand banquet in Jingyang Palace to cheer up the upcoming battle. The people who were summoned included some generals in the army, ministers of the imperial court, and some royal nobles. In order to deal with the crisis, King Wei intends to make certain sacrifices, the reward of the reward, the encouragement of the encouragement, in short, in order to eliminate the invading Han army, he no longer cares about the money and wealth, as long as he can continue to maintain his rule.

Everyone who should have come came, and even Minister Cui Mingzhen, who was said to be sick, also came with illness and sat in his seat, although his face was not very good, but he could barely support it.

King Wei glanced at the people who were seated, and his heart was somewhat calm. The reason why he wanted to do this today was not his intention, but he followed the advice of the staff around him, saying that he should take this opportunity to give his subjects an encouragement. He thought about it, and it made sense, so he agreed.

The general Jin Tae-jung, who was leaned on by him, was dead, and the four or five generals in the seat commanded all the soldiers and horses outside the city, and the 10,000 defenders in the city were led by General Xuanpu to guard the southern half of the city. The 20,000 soldiers and horses of the imperial battalion were handed over to the third prince, Wei Wuji, to guard the northern half of the city and strictly prevent the Han army from raiding the building boat army.

On the banquet, King Wei carried out a large number of rewards, and almost everyone who came to participate in these important people was rewarded, and all kinds of praises were heard endlessly, and everyone was showing their loyalty, and for a while, it was very lively.

The day is getting late, the sky is twilight, when the lamp in the palm of his hand comes, the king of Wei has already brought five or six points of wine, talking about the current situation, but did not mention the defeat of the army, just bragged about the promise of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, the messenger sent has sent a message back, and there will be tens of thousands of Xiongnu iron cavalry to Liaodong to solve the real dilemma. The Han army does not need to be afraid of them, as long as they can firmly hold Wang Weicheng, it will not take a few days for these Han soldiers to die without a place to bury.

Many courtiers and nobles who did not know the truth were naturally very excited, echoing the tone of King Wei and condemning the hatefulness of the Han army. Of course, there are many people who have already known the news of the demise of the 5,000 Hun cavalry through certain channels, and at this time, when they heard the Wei Wang's reliance on the Huns, they were a little disapproving.

Cui Mingzhen didn't drink a drop of alcohol tonight, and others knew that he was sick, so it was naturally inconvenient to persuade him. Listening to the high-minded talk of King Wei and his ministers, he secretly exchanged glances with the four or five people sitting nearby, and there were some slight fluctuations in his heart, both hope and a faint sadness.

Maybe after tonight, the country will cease to exist. What these people are going to do is not known to future generations whether it is a righteous act or a rebellion. The appointed hour is approaching, success and failure are here, and I don't know what kind of expression will be after King Wei becomes a prisoner?

There is a bright moonlight tonight, although it is a little cold, but it should be a very special thing to march, enter the city, and kill people under such moonlight! At least there is such excitement in Han Yan's heart now.

The Black Eagle Army and the 4,000 Han Army foot soldiers were already lying in ambush in the undulating hills less than ten miles from the southern gate of Wangxian City, and they were quietly waiting for the arrival of a certain hour.

"Civil strife has been instigated in the city, and tonight, the gates of the city will be opened after the fire is raised, and it will only be tonight!"

Before leaving, Yuan Zhao said this sentence to them in public, and every soldier of the Han army remembered it in his heart. No wonder the generals are not in a hurry when they are in the city, and they are not in a hurry to attack the city, it has already been arranged!

The mountains and forests in the distance were silent, there was no wind tonight, and the wait before the battle was boring, Yuan Zhao leaned on a tree, thinking about things, and used a dagger to make a bamboo flute from the chopped bamboo, so as to kill time. After Zhenban is pacified, the building ship of the Han army can be handed over to the king of Huainan and they will go to sea to have a good time. They have already drawn a detailed map of the islands in the East China Sea, and they have a lot of time and energy anyway, so let them explore it.

As for the behavior of himself and his subordinate Han army, he has already made a decision. A few days ago, the envoy who came all the way from Chang'an brought the emperor's condolences and rewards. At the same time, he also took away a letter from Yuan Zhao to the emperor.

In this recital, Yuan Zhao has clearly expressed his thoughts about the true belonging, that is, it will be completely assigned to the Han Domain. The emperor and the imperial court were asked to formulate a system in the shortest possible time, demarcate the counties to which they belonged, and send officials to receive and appease the people.

There are 5,000 soldiers and horses lurking here tonight to prepare to capture the city, in addition to the Black Eagle Army, Xun Yu's more than 4,000 Han troops are also equipped with war horses. These horses are from the Hun cavalry team last time, people were buried alive, of course the war horses can't be wasted, these are all fierce horses on the grassland, just used to equip Xun Yu's foot soldiers.

Looking at the tall horses of his subordinates, General Zuo Xun Yu was not much more excited, and the idea of joining the Black Eagle Army became even stronger. At this time, he secretly made up his mind that he must behave well when he entered the city later, and he must not be inferior to the soldiers of the Black Eagle Army by half a point.

When Yuan Zhao finished digging out the last sound hole of the bamboo flute, the movements in his hands stopped slightly. A moment later, a figure suddenly appeared beside him. It could be seen that this person was rushing at great speed, and his expression was anxious. Yuan Zhao's brows furrowed slightly.

"Yuanhou, something happened on the ship, just now, a large number of masters of unknown origin attacked at night and kidnapped the county lord!"

The person who came was none other than Wei Tuo, who was beside Liu An, the king of Huainan, who was not leaving an inch, and after seeing Yuan Zhao, he didn't have time to say polite words, so he directly told him the news.

Yuan Zhao was shocked in his heart, and he suddenly had a premonition that this should be done by those who were looking for revenge for themselves.

"How so! Did those people say anything? ”

"All the masters who came, in order to protect the safety of the prince, I fought with more than a dozen people, and I couldn't be separated, but I didn't expect them to arrest the county lord. Before leaving, they left a message, and the prince ordered me to come to you immediately, so that you can find a way to save the county lord. ”

As Wei Tuo spoke, he stretched out his hand and handed over a piece of cloth, only to see a sentence written on it, "If you want to save people, let Yuan Zhao come to Qingwa Villa in person!" ”

His hunch was not wrong, sure enough, those people were still ghostly, and he had the intention to let them go, but he didn't expect that they would hit Liu Shu with their ideas!

Dragons have reverse scales, and if you touch them, you will die! The safety of all those close to him is what Yuan Zhao cannot touch. In this case, he no longer tolerates mercy.

"Go back and protect the prince. By the way, tell him that the county lord will return safe and sound! ”
