Chapter 462: False Orders
Wang Jiayin instinctively opened his mouth to shout, turned over and struggled, but unfortunately, his open throat was instantly filled with thick decoction, not only could he not shout a word, but also choked him with a violent cough, and he couldn't care about the dagger stabbed by Wang Guozhong.

said that it was too late, and when he saw Zhang Liwei suddenly rush forward, he pressed the medicine bowl on Wang Jiayin's mouth and nose, and Wang Guozhong, who was standing behind Zhang Liwei, quickly pulled out a dagger from his arms and stabbed Wang Jiayin's open chest.
With Wang Jiayin's violent cough, Wang Guozhong stabbed the dagger about eight inches into Wang Jiayin's chest, and then turned it up and down a few times.
Wang Jiayin couldn't say a word.
The eyes that widened because of anger gradually lost their luster and heat, and they looked at Wang Guozhong in front of him emptyly.
It wasn't until he felt that Wang Jiayin under his body was no longer struggling, that Zhang Liwei dared to open his eyes to look at his brother-in-law, and he was still startled when he saw it.
Wang Jiayin's eyes, which had become a little prominent because of anger and breathlessness, were still round and open, and the medicinal soup that had been splashed out of the cough, mixed with the blood coughed up from his chest, was sprinkled everywhere in his mouth, nose, chin, neck, and chest.
Wang Guozhong's blow after several days of scheming was steady, accurate, and ruthless, although it was only a stab, but it hit Wang Jiayin's heart, without any accident, it was a blow that killed.
Wang Jiayin, a generation of heroes and "Hengtian One-word King", died with hatred like this.
And, exactly like in history, he died in Shanxi, at the hands of the two people he trusted the most, one of whom was his brother-in-law and the other was his brother-in-law.
Looking at Wang Jiayin, who was staring at him, Zhang Liwei hurriedly closed his angry eyes with his hand, but he couldn't close it three times, and his heart was even more frightened, and he once again put his hand under Wang Jiayin's nose and tried to confirm that he was not breathing, so he was slightly relieved, and muttered in his mouth:
"Brother-in-law, it's not that the younger brother is unjust, it's really because you are a rebel, and you have already hurt our three relatives, six relatives and nine relatives, if you really have that fate, in the future, three relatives, six relatives and nine relatives will follow you to enjoy happiness, but you are a deserter with mud legs, how can you really have any princely life! Little brother follows you, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for that time! ”
Wang Guozhong saw that Zhang Liwei was still muttering to himself, and he was still excusing his own behavior, first from Wang Jiayin's corpse, he suddenly pulled out the dagger that was pierced into his chest, and then wiped the blood stains on the bed, and sighed and said:
"What's the use of talking about that now! Let's think about how we can save our lives and how we can get in touch with the officers and soldiers as soon as possible! ”
Wang Guozhong's words woke up Zhang Liwei, the two had already summed it up before, and the first step was successfully completed at this time, so it was naturally carried out according to the original plan.
After Zhang Liwei's mind cleared up, he immediately stepped forward to wipe Wang Jiayin's mouth, nose, chin and face with a rag, and then put him face inward, covered him with a thin layer of quilt, and put it in a sleeping appearance facing the bed, and then cleaned up the inside, and the two withdrew, closed the door, and came outside the house.
The sound of artillery in Toudaoling in the distance has long stopped, after all, it is already night, and in this era, whether it is an official army or a thief army, there is no habit of fighting at night.
Li Banghua ordered the officers and troops stationed in Shikou to use artillery to open the way and attack Toudaoling, which was garrisoned by the outpost of the thief army, and the purpose was also very simple, on the one hand, to test the defense of the thief army in Toudaoling.
On the other hand, or a more important aspect, it is to urge and remind Zhang Liwei to hurry up in this way.
After all, the three-day deadline agreed upon earlier has reached the last moment.
Fortunately, Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Yuanding, and others tentatively launched artillery bombardments and attacks, which were timely and powerful, and hit the camp of the thief army on Toudaoling, and almost collapsed, otherwise the thief army would not have been mobilized.
If it weren't for that, Zhang Liwei and Wang Guozhong would not have found such an opportunity in front of them.
At this time, the artillery bombardment and attack in the direction of Toudaoling had already stopped, and the officers and troops were accumulating strength and preparing to launch an attack at dawn the next day, while the thief army was also in full swing overnight to rebuild the fortifications that had been bombarded by the artillery of the officers and soldiers.
Wang Guozhong and Zhang Liwei went out at this time, and quickly called Wang Guozhong's personal guards who were guarding the courtyard in front of them, and asked them to stay in front of Wang Jiayin's house, telling them that no one was allowed to enter the house without the personal permission of Wang Guozhong and Zhang Liwei.
At the same time, Wang Guozhong also sent one of the confidant leaders to bring people to pass on the left prime minister and military advisor Wang Er to come to Hengtian Wangfu, saying that Hengtian Wang had an order to summon Zuo Prime Minister Wang Er to come to the palace to discuss matters.
Wang Guozhong's henchman didn't say a word, and took a team of people out of the Hengtian Palace, and went to the Niangniang Temple Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion a few miles away.
These people under Wang Guozhong's command, because Zuo Prime Minister Wang Er is full of hostility to Wang Guozhong on weekdays, so even these people have suffered from a lot of idle anger of Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, and they have never had an errand to take advantage of, but they have done a lot of hard work and dirty work, and at this time they have just received a generous reward from their own leaders, and they are all very high-spirited, quite a bit of the same hatred.
The group of people lit torches with great interest, came to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion with a shallow foot and a deep foot, and opened the gate of the Niangniang Temple with a high spirit, conveying the order of the "Hengtian King".
Wang Er's right-hand man walked a "Heavenly Dragon" Bai Wenbo and his men and horses at this time, and there was still a "armor-breaking cone" Wei Tycoon guarding the Niangniang Temple, at this time he listened to the order conveyed by the person who came, and when he saw that the sky had passed, although he was quite surprised, he still woke up Wang Er, the prime minister of the left, and said that the king had an invitation and wanted to discuss matters overnight.
Wang Erqiang, who was already seriously ill, supported his body, and met with the guards of Hengtian Wang's Mansion who came to give orders, and when he saw that it was Wang Guozhong's cronies, Wang Er, who was already suspicious, was even more suspicious, and asked Wang Guozhong's cronies to go back to tell Hengtian Wang, saying that it was late at night, Prime Minister Zuo was seriously ill and could not go, and everything would wait for dawn.
Finally, Wang Guozhong's cronies, who were pretending to be powerful once, saw that Prime Minister Zuo was so "domineering", and King Hengtian ordered to summon him to discuss the matter, and everyone felt that they were holding their breath and "something was wrong" at the same time.
Wang Guozhong, the leader of his henchmen, hurriedly rushed back to the Hengtian Palace, reported the situation to Wang Guozhong, and said: "Prime Minister Zuo and his lackey Wei Daheng are not arrogant, and the king dares not to come to see him, don't you want to rebel?" ”
As soon as Wang Guozhong heard this, he immediately said, "You are right! Zuo Prime Minister Wang Er relied on the king's trust, and he has always been arrogant and domineering, but at this time he knew that the king was sick, and the official army came to attack again, I am afraid that he has a heart of self-reliance! You go and order the Hengtian King's Mansion to guard all the departments, get ready, and listen to the king's orders at any time! ”
The leader just said that, but after listening to Wang Guozhong's words at this time, he felt more and more that he had a brain, and immediately left the herald.
At this time, the time had passed, and the leader under Wang Guozhong had just left, and Wang Jiayin's other group of guards came to the backyard of the palace of Yunfeng Temple on time to change shifts.
Wang Guozhong and Zhang Liwei saw the leader of the team, and hurriedly stepped forward to say the order of Wang Jiayin before, and then said that the king asked him to pass on the situation that Wang Er, the prime minister of Zuo, came to see but Wang Er did not come to see him in the middle of the night, and once again falsely passed on Wang Jiayin's order, and asked Wang Jiayin's personal guards to go to Niangniang Temple to pass the order.
However, the content of the order has changed this time, saying that it is okay for Prime Minister Zuo to come, but it is necessary to send the "armor-breaking cone" Wei Daheng who guards the Niangniang Temple as soon as possible to move to Rolling Rabbit Ridge, the reason is that after the "Eight King Kongs" Zhang Cunmeng led troops to reinforce Toudaoling, there was no leader and heavy troops in Rolling Rabbit Ridge, and King Hengtian was not at ease.
The leader of Wang Jiayin's personal guards who came to change shifts, saw Wang Guozhong and Zhang Liwei say this, and the team of minions he met when he came in also said that the king of Hengtian ordered Wang Er to come to see but Wang Er did not come, at this time, look at the door and window of the room where Wang Jiayin, the king of Hengtian, was resting, and there was no sound inside, obviously the king was asleep, and it was inconvenient to ask more, so he took the order to go.
This time, Prime Minister Zuo Wang Er saw that the leader who came to pass the order was the cronies and guards in front of the Hengtian King's tent, although he still had doubts in his heart, but in the end he still did not disobey the order again.
After all, these people in front of him are Wang Jiayin's personal guards who are like fakes, and King Hengtian understands him and no longer passes him on to discuss matters, but directly makes a decision to let the "armor-breaking cone" Wei Daheng go out of the town Rolling Rabbit Ridge, and it is not convenient for him to oppose it anymore.
Although Wei Daheng is his cronies, he is not his second king's personal person after all, he can call himself sick and not go to Hengtian Palace, but he can't help but let the lively Wei Daheng lead the army to Rolling Rabbit Ridge, otherwise, he will really be confirmed on the "crime" of "no king".
It didn't take long for Wang Guozhong to be on a high ground in the Hengtian Palace, Yunfeng Temple, and saw a light in the Niangniang Temple in the distance, which was the torch made by the "armor-breaking cone" Wei Daheng who led the thief army around the Niangniang Temple to Rolling Rabbit Ridge.
Seeing this scene, Wang Guozhong rushed out of the gate of Yunfeng Temple with his cronies, and shouted loudly to the subordinates gathered outside the door: "The king of Hengtian has an order, and the second prime minister of Zuo has not been summoned repeatedly, and at this time, he has not been ordered by the army, mobilizing soldiers and horses, intending to plot against him, and the king ordered his subordinates to go to the palace of the prime minister of Zuo, and arrest Wang Er to ask for the crime!" The king raised soldiers for a thousand days and used them for a while, who would like to go with someone and make this feat!? ”
After listening to the "two kings" Wang Guozhong's "righteous and strict" words, Wang Guozhong, who had long gathered outside Yunfeng Temple, suddenly clamored, and the leaders who had received rich rewards earlier also shouted: "Obey the king's military orders!" Waiting for the dispatch of the two kings! ”
