Chapter 207: Mutation
The son of the incarnated king doesn't say much, and calls his sister "mother", Xue Jinyan doesn't correct it, hugs him in his arms and makes him laugh, and whispers: "My surname is Xue, and you are also surnamed Xue, and there are only two of us left in the Xue family." ”
Xu Ji walked in with a cold body, and Xue Jinyan immediately said, "Don't come over, just stand at the door." ”
Xu Ji stopped and asked, "...... Mrs. Ning?"
"We talked for a while, and I thought she was very nice and didn't have bad intentions."
"That's good." Xu Ji smiled, and didn't have much hope, "I'm going to live outside tonight, you don't have to wait for me." ”
"Hmm." Xue Jinyan continued to tease his younger brother, and soon raised his head and said to King Wu, who was about to leave: "Wait, there is one more thing, I sent Feng Juniang away." ”
"I've heard of it, it's a home for her."
"You're not angry?"
"Don't be angry. Why should I be angry? ”
"Because I made my own decisions, I didn't consult you."
Xu Ji felt that his wife's attitude was a little strange, so he didn't think about it deeply, and said with a smile: "This kind of thing, the more ideas you do, the better." ”
"That's good." Waiting for King Wu to close the door from the outside, Xue Jin shook the child in his arms and said, "King Wu is not angry, then let's make our own decisions again." ”
The child only laughed and did not raise any objections.
Xu Ji had to find another way to thwart King Ning.
It was getting late, so Xu Ji went to Xicheng under the pretext of inspecting Xicheng, only brought a small number of guards, and went to see Gan Zhao.
If you want to deal with King Ning, Gan Zhao is the most useful helper.
The two have met many times, Gan Zhao is willing to serve King Wu, and Xu Ji came to see him for nothing else, just to consolidate this alliance.
Gan Zhao also understood King Wu's intentions, so he quickly sent the outsiders away, and got to the point: "As far as I know, King Ning will go to war tomorrow, King Ning has always boasted of being brave, and he will never be left behind when the kings go out of the city to invite battle." Niu Tiannu will stay behind and guard the city gate for her husband. This is more troublesome, Niu Tiannu has been prepared, blocking all the roads leading to the city gate, and building a high wall on the city wall to prevent the soldiers of the West City, which is not easy to break. ”
"After all the calculations, I can't imagine that Mrs. Ning Wang is the biggest trouble."
"But it doesn't matter." Gan Zhao said with a smile, if things are too easy to show his ability, "Many generals in King Ning's army are familiar with me, as long as I go to seize the door tomorrow, they will open the passage for me." Niu Tiannu is a female generation after all, and the elite soldiers will let King Ning take it away, and there are not too many people left around her, even if no one answers, I will be able to capture the two gates of Beicheng tomorrow, but it will take a little more twists and turns. ”
The two chatted for a long time, and Xu Ji inevitably gave many promises, and after making sure that Gan Zhao had no second thoughts, he got up and said goodbye.
Xu Ji mobilized a large number of troops, quietly increased the strength of Xicheng, summoned Wu generals, and assigned matters, Meng Shenglun, Lei Dajun and others will follow him out of the city tomorrow - King Wu must personally lead his troops out of the city and set an example in order to let the other three righteous armies attack.
Song Xingxi was left to defend the city.
When the discussion was over, Xu Ji left Song Xingju and had another entrustment: "In the battle of tomorrow, although the outside of the city is important, the inside of the city is the most important." The king of Shu will attack the northern city from the city walls, and you must attack from the streets of the city, and the first task is to seize the gate. ”
Song Xingci nodded again and again, "I have long seen that Ning Baoguan is not pleasing to the eye, and I finally waited for this day." Don't worry, tomorrow I will fight for this life, and I will also take the two gates of Beicheng. ”
"I'd rather not have two doors, but also leave General Song's life, you are the first fierce general in our army, without you, the Wu army is like losing its edge."
"I'm a fierce general, I just dare to rush." Song Xingci said with a smile, feeling very useful.
Nearly four watches, Xu Ji took a nap in the Xicheng military camp, got up on the fifth watch, began to arrange soldiers, and frequently contacted the kings, urging them to go out of the city in time to attack the officers and soldiers.
The west city is the first one, and then every two quarters of an hour rushes out, followed by the north city, the east city, and the south city.
If everything goes well, the Jin army in the south will break through the encirclement and find a way north to return to the state, the king of Liang will hide the main force in the city, and he himself will quickly return to the city, to ambush the officers and soldiers in the city, the king of Shu in the name of defending the city, in fact, to capture the northern city wall, as for the king of Ning, will be blocked out of the city, left to the Jizhou turbid cavalry who is eager to take revenge.
If all goes well, Xu Ji will get rid of the two strongest opponents in the rebel army, and from then on he will be in charge of the whole army, although there will be some losses, but it will still be a powerful army.
As for the officers and soldiers outside the city, Xu Ji also had a plan, and the first thing he did after getting up was to summon Meng Seng Lun, "General Meng is ready, today's battle is not a bluff, we want to break through the camp of officers and soldiers and lift the siege of the eastern capital." ”
Meng Senglun's eyes lit up, "I knew that the ruling party would not really return to Yecheng!" But are we strong enough? Do you want to call some more people? ”
"No need, the officers and soldiers will be used to encircle and annihilate King Ning, and they will also divide a part of their forces to attack the southern city, the east and west sides will definitely be weak, and our current number is enough. There are only two points, one is not to be afraid of fighting, so as to miss the opportunity. Second, it is necessary to obey orders, because attacking too early or too late will attract the vigilance of officers and men and sabotage the battles in the north and south of the city, and it must not be too late, because when the officers and men free up their hands, the opportunity will be lost. ”
"Don't worry, I will listen to your orders, I will rush if you point in front, and I will retreat if you point behind."
"It has to be General Meng that I dare to entrust me with a heavy responsibility."
Meng Seng Lun was impulsive and wanted to tell his plan as well, and Wu General Wang Dian had been transferred outside the city, so that he could cooperate with the outside to make the attack more secure.
When the words came to his mouth, Meng Shenglun swallowed back, he made his own claims several times, which made King Wu extremely unhappy, this time, he wanted to wait for the truth to be done before telling the truth, so as to atone for his sins.
He didn't care about merit and just wanted to serve King Wu.
Everything was ready, Xu Ji breathed a sigh of relief, but it was only a little loose, and he didn't dare to be careless until the end.
The whole plan is too large and complicated, relying on the cooperation of the kings and the generals, it is impossible not to have an accident in the middle, so Xu Ji has to improvise.
For this reason, he gave up many ambitions, such as not seeking to get rid of King Jin, but only wanting him to leave and stop secretly fighting with him for power.
Xu Ji came out to inspect the soldiers, and as soon as he came out of the room, he saw a high platform erected not far away, and he remembered clearly that when the fourth watch rested by himself, there was no such thing.
The high platform is more than 100 steps away from the city wall, a small section higher, although it is made of wood, the speed is fast enough.
"What is this?" Xu Ji asked in surprise.
"This is the incarnation platform built by the ruling lady of the Golden Holy Maiden." Meng Seng Lun replied that he had seen this stage appear with his own eyes.
Xu Ji sighed and didn't ask any further.
Xue Jinyao, who was dressed in silver armor and silver armor, walked from under the stage, the sky was about to break, and the camp was full of torches, shining more and more brightly.
Xue Jinyao was half a head taller than many male soldiers, and he walked with a knife without the slightest twist, Xu Ji praised in his heart, and at the same time wondered how he dared to sleep with such a woman.
Meng Shenglun praised loudly, "The Golden Holy Woman is extraordinary, if she is a man, she will become the first general of the Wu Army." ”
Xue Jinyan came to the front and said coldly: "I want to invite the gods to come to the world, and ask King Wu to accompany me on the stage." ”
"Does it have to be now?"
"The Descendant Army is going to fight a decisive battle with the officers and soldiers, and the Descendant King must come down to take a look and cheer for the soldiers. It won't be long before King Wu goes up and makes an appearance. ”
"Okay." Xu Ji didn't want to refuse his wife in public, especially since this request was quite reasonable, and many people around him looked at Gao Tai with awe, really taking it seriously.
"And the Avatar, without which it is impossible to communicate with the gods."
"Of course." Xu Ji called Tang Weitian.
Tang Weitian stood next to him, with two sticks pinned to his waist, one on the left and one on the right.
"Don't want him, just King Wu." Xue Jin shook his head.
Not long after Tang Weitian came back, he was not familiar with Xue Jin, and when he heard this, he immediately said loudly: "The people are in the stick, the stick is in the people, I will never hand over the magic stick." ”
Xue Jin shook his head and ignored him, "Please King Wu take the stage with me." ”
Tang stared at Xue Jin for the weather, and Xu Ji stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the incarnation stick, and when I come down, you will still hold the rod to protect me." ”
Tang Weitian had no choice, so he reluctantly handed over the incarnation stick and covered the other one with his hand, "I want to keep this." ”
Xu Ji smiled, explained a few more words to Meng Senglun, and followed Xue Jinyan straight to the high platform.
Under the stage are more than a dozen mages, shivering in the cold wind, climbing up the stairs, on the top of the stage placed a big tripod from nowhere, high incense burning, green smoke curling up.
There was an archmage standing on the left and right sides of the Ding, chanting scriptures in his mouth, and his body was trembling slightly from the cold wind.
It seems that this is a simple spell that will not last long.
Xu Ji stood on the high platform, his eyes crossed the city wall, and he saw the faint light of the sky in the distance, as well as the camp of officers and soldiers a little closer.
There must have been various preparations being made in the battalion, which could not be seen from a distance.
Xu Ji suddenly thought of the county lord Huanyan, she used to cherish him, but now she firmly refused to believe him - she was right.
"It's good that she's not here......," Xu Ji muttered, feeling like he was missing a strong opponent.
"Who isn't here?" Xue Jinyan asked.
"No one. We can recruit the Incarnate King. ”
Xue Jin knelt in front of the tripod and prayed in a low voice, Xu Ji held the incarnation stick in both hands, kneeling beside his wife, with no sincerity in his heart, still calculating every detail of today, not noticing that Da Ding blocked most of the sight on the opposite city wall, and the people in the audience couldn't see him at all.
Xue Jinyan struck out without warning, pressed her husband down, quickly stuffed a strip of cloth in his mouth, and then tied his hands.
Xu Ji was shocked, he was about to struggle, his strength was not as good as his wife, and he was about to scream for help, but he couldn't make a sound in his mouth.
He had countless questions in his heart, which could only be expressed with an angry gaze.
Xue Jin shook unmoved, tied the other end of the rope firmly to a dingzu, and said to the two archmages: "Someone will come to give an order, and when the time comes, you will untie the rope and apologize to King Wu." ”
The two archmages were obviously in the know, and nodded immediately.
Xue Jin squatted down and said to her husband: "If you want Niu Tiannu to believe me, you can only do this." You don't have to worry, I will lead the troops out of the city for you, there is someone watching on King Ning's side, once he goes out of the city and falls into the siege of officers and soldiers, he will immediately come to inform this side, the two archmages will untie you, you lead the troops to attack the northern city, Niu Tiannu will never expect it. I know you're upset, but I'll wait until I get back. ”
Xu Ji sighed a few times, his plan was not only to betray Ning Baoguan, but also a series of follow-ups, which required him to make judgments and give orders at any time, which Xue Jinyan could not replace.
Xue Jin shook her husband's cheek, "When I come back, you will be the emperor." "Let's pick up the baton and stand down.
Xu Ji was furious, but there was nothing he could do, and after a while, he heard Xue Jin's loud voice: "The incarnated king left King Wu to watch the battle on the stage, and let me lead the troops out of the city for King Wu." The incarnation stick is here, and the generals will obey the order! God bless, our army will win! ”
Xu Ji hoped that Meng Shenglun and the others could see the flaw and come up to save him, but what they heard was a cheer, louder than thunder.
