Chapter 17: The Thoughts of the Princes

Tian Kan regretted it, and secretly scolded himself in his heart for being too reckless, and blamed himself again and again, "General Ma General Zhu, I, Tian Kan, am a reckless man, I don't know the general's plan, I am really guilty, I hope the two generals will be punished"

Although Tian Kan is reckless, he is not afraid of death

Ma Ji knew Tian Kan's character, and he didn't care about it when he saw this, he just said, "That's it, it's a blessing that you reckless man will not blame me in the future, so quickly retreat."

To be honest, although Tian Kan is rough, he is quite bold to the soldiers, everyone doesn't want to see Tian Kan punished, and when the soldiers heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief for Tian Kan, and made a strong look, so that Tian Kan would accept it when he saw it, and quickly retreat.

Tian Kan also understood some things, and bowed his hand several times to express his respect and repentance, and then withdrew.

Zhu Yi looked at it calmly, just smiled slightly, and did not say anything.

Ma Ji raised his glass and eased the atmosphere, "Everyone, we are holding a celebration banquet today, firstly, to seduce the Liang army, and secondly, it is indeed to celebrate, this time I will break the morale of the Liang army!" The third is to celebrate General Zhu's first time here, and we have neglected General Zhu before, so as to catch the wind and wash the sin, and make amends."

Saying that, Ma Ji raised his wine glass again, and the generals also stood up, holding the wine glass in both hands, and looked at Zhu Yi.

Although Zhu Yi was full of clever plans, and this big victory was also inseparable from him, he didn't hold it up, smiled slightly, and shook it slightly towards the generals.

…

At this moment, it was late at night, and An Lehou had already written a letter before, which was submitted to King Liang, explaining the original situation, but he lost the battle, and he didn't dare to publicize such ugly things, not to mention that now the princes of Bailu are here, the loss of soldiers and horses is small, and the dignity of face is great, but it is just that the prince is cunning, and when he is unprepared, he suddenly attacked, and the grain and grass were destroyed.

Now, most of the days have passed, and the messenger is riding a first-class horse, and there should be a reply on the day, but I don't know why I haven't seen it for a long time.

He was thinking about it when there was a knock on the door, the sound was very urgent, and An Le Hou was slightly angry between his eyebrows, "Come in!" ”

When he saw that it was Shen Peng, An Lehou's anger slowly calmed down, and he said lightly, "General, why are you in such a hurry late at night?"

"Oh, Hou Ye" Seeing An Le Hou so calm, Shen Peng became even more anxious, and said, "It's a big deal, the post envoy has just come back, according to the post envoy, King Liang's words did not mention the matter of grain and grass, the post envoy begged for it several times, but was beaten out by other princes, saying that Hou Ye should withdraw his troops quickly, how can it be good now!" ”

"Smack!" An Lehou was furious and slammed the teacup on the sandalwood table to the ground, "What is he going to do?" Yes? ”

Shen Peng said: "Don't you understand? This is the set that King Liang and the marquis have given you."

When Shen Peng said this, An Lehou was even more angry, "What a merciless King Liang!" Ben Hou has worked tirelessly, thinking about him wholeheartedly, trying to bring down Wang Yi and rebelling against thieves several times, and recovering Liang, but you are good, and unite the princes of Bailu to target me! ”

Shen Peng saw that An Lehou was very angry, calmed down, and helped analyze, "Hou Ye, King Liang has a virtuous character, and he is a woman, this is not like her attention, in my opinion, someone must have bewitched the prince, and the prince is reluctant to allocate food."

When Shen Peng said this, An Lehou pondered, nodded and said, "King Liang is my niece, he must help me in both public and private affairs, what the general said is not unreasonable."

"Master Hou, I think it's still like this" Shen Peng paused slightly, and said, "Early tomorrow morning, the army can first act according to the orders of King Liang, so as not to let other princes slander again and end up with a thief's infamy, anyway, attacking Wang Yi is not ten days and half a month to achieve results, I might as well return to Jeju and let other princes fight, recuperate, but also happy"

These words came to An Lehou's heart, and the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he smiled instead, "This Wang Yi has Zhu Yi's doll in charge, presumably other princes will be defeated when they come here, anyway, this hot potato, Ben Hou doesn't want to take it, it's better to throw it to them."

At this point, the two looked at each other and smiled, An Lehou picked up another teacup and took a sip, with a strong smile on his face.

On the day, the sky has not completely opened, the fog is vast, the autumn weather is changeable, and there is already a trace of cold at this time, but looking at the weather, it should not rain today.

An Lehou led the army to Jeju, Xu Wen, Pang Gu, Guo Wei and others were there, and Fengyang City still let Shen Peng hold on.

Along the way, the fast horse galloped, passing through the jumping mountain, An Lehou once again staged a wonderful performance of the old horse knowing the way, and it was not long before he had already gone out of the valley.

Just after noon, the weather was hot, and as soon as everyone arrived in Jeju, they saw a soldier running out of the city and coming towards them.

The man looked hurried, holding a piece of paper in his hand, An Lehou was quite puzzled, and was about to ask, so he spoke.

"On the orders of King Liang, my subordinates came to tell the Hou Ye, the Hou Ye's hundreds of thousands of troops in the city are afraid that they will not be able to tolerate it, causing panic among the people, and please ask the Hou Ye to be considerate, camp from outside the city, and wait for the arrangements in the city to be properly arranged, so that the army can enter the city!"

"Fart!" An Lehou couldn't help but be angry, and burst into a foul mouth, "This Jeju is Benhou's territory, and hundreds of thousands of troops can't tolerate it, Benhou knows very well, where is his turn to call the shots?" ”

King Liang had not allocated food before, which made him very displeased, and this time he was ordered to withdraw his troops, and he was not allowed to enter the city at the gate of the city, how to make him not angry, not to mention that Jeju has been a hereditary place of Anle Hou since ancient times.

"Lord Hou forgives the sin, this is the result of the discussion between King Liang and the Lord Hou, and the specific matters have not been known to the subordinates" The soldier was frightened and bowed.

"Go!" An Lehou pointed to the city, "Go back and tell King Liang and the other marquis, just say that I, An Lehou, have to enter the city this time!" ”

The soldier saluted again, and said, "Lord Hou forgives the sin, the king of Liang has a word first, if An Lehou insists on entering the city, he can lead a cadre of generals into the city, and the army needs to wait outside the city, and wait until the call is announced, before entering the city."

Hearing this, An Lehou was furious, kicked the soldier to the ground, and coldly shouted, "Get out!" ”

Immediately ignoring it, he led the army to break in.

At this time, Pang Gu on the side was also angry, scolding, "When I wait to go home, I still have to be promised, what is the reason? ”

Xu Wen also frowned on the side, not knowing what to think.

The rest of Guo Wei and the others were also furious, and at the same time, they couldn't figure out why King Liang was like this and turned An Lehou away.

Could it be that something else has happened in the city? Thinking of this, the generals felt a chill down their spines, if this is the case, King Liang has three long and two short, and Jeju has not been turned upside down by the princes, and he vaguely feels that something is wrong.

Although An Lehou was too pedantic, he was not stupid, and when he heard that the soldiers were not allowed to enter the city, he had already sensed that something was wrong, and he was anxious

The princes of these hundred roads gathered in the city, and the safety of King Liang was small, but if Jeju, which was inherited by his ancestors, was lost, it would be really regrettable.

Thinking of this, An Lehou himself was also startled, but after reflection, he felt that it was not unreasonable, so he stopped staying, shouted, and gathered the army to prepare to enter the city.

Seeing that the army was pressing, all the soldiers on the city gate picked up their weapons and aimed at the city, quite ready for a battle.

"Presumptuous!"

Seeing this, An Lehou shouted, "You don't know Ben Hou anymore!" ”

At this time, a guard appeared at the city gate, he was wearing a red cloak and looked down at everyone, with a smile on his face, "Don't be suspicious, King Liang has prepared a banquet in the hall, and respectfully invites Hou Ye to enter the city, but Hou Ye has a huge army and horses, and King Liang is worried about the people, so there is this arrangement, and please enter the city quickly."

"Who are you? Where are the generals defending the city? An Lehou was surprised, his subordinates had been replaced, and he didn't know this person at all, so he didn't dare to enter the city rashly for a while.

In the city, the general said loudly, "The last general is Zhou Gao, a subordinate of the King of Chu, and please don't be suspicious."

An Lehou lowered his head and pondered: "King Li Zhen of Chu? ”

Speaking of Li Zhen, it can make people afraid of three points, although this person is a foreign surname, but the power can not be underestimated, the ancestors of the three dukes, rich and rival the country, now occupy Hedong, Hebei region, jurisdiction over 30 states, a total of 500,000 soldiers and horses, far more than An Lehou several times, is one of the few giants today.

An Le Hou was still pondering, and Zhou Gao, the guard on the city gate, spoke again, "King Liang is afraid that Hou Ye's old department will let Hou Ye enter the city without permission, so he will let the last general come"

Zhou Gao saw that An Lehou was a little hesitant, so he said, "If the Hou Ye is scrupled, Zhou Gao is willing to go down to the city in person, remove his armor and be bound."

To tell the truth, An Lehou was indeed beating a drum in his heart at this time, hesitating, afraid of falling into a trap, and afraid that Jeju would be lost and the army would have nowhere to settle.

"The general doesn't have to be like this, since the king of Liang has an order, I will take the lead as a courtier" An Lehou waved his hand, Pang Gu, Xu Wen, Guo Wei, and the other six stepped forward, and ordered, "The rest of the people wait, camp ten miles away, if you don't see me wait for three days, you can order the siege of the city, and swear not to give Jeju to others"

In this sudden situation, An Lehou couldn't help but have an extra heart.

"Yes!" The rest of the generals nodded.

Seeing this, Zhou Gao shouted, "Open City!" ”

Pang Gu felt strange, and reminded him, "Master Hou, do you really want to enter the city?" ”

"So far, I can only go in and take a look" An Lehou also had no choice.

"Zla~"

The city gate was opened, and An Lehou and his men rode into the city.
