"Your Highness, everything is ready now, it's almost time!" The noble one said to Shi Jian while plucking the wick of the oil lamp.

"General Wang, it depends on you when this king's great cause will be accomplished!" Shi Jian turned around and said to Wang Luan.

Wang Luan hurriedly responded: "The minister's 30,000 soldiers and horses can fight at any time." As for the other people, the minister has already summoned them to Yecheng in the name of the military department and General Gao! The Xihua Marquis Mansion has no other way than to be captured. ”

"How many people have you recruited for Ning Wangfu?"

"Pengcheng, Pingyang, Shangdang, 20,000 horses from each of the three places, plus 30,000 troops from outside the city, 20,000 patrol battalions in the city, we have twice as many soldiers and horses as Shi Min, why worry about him not being destroyed? What's more, although there is a lot of grain and grass in Handan, there are hundreds of thousands of refugees, and they can't last long! In less than four months, even if Shi Min didn't die in battle, he would have to starve to death! ”

"General Wang Luan has made a great contribution!" Gao Shangzhi glanced at Wang Luan and asked, "Then who should lead so many people?" You can't fight each other, can you? ”

Wang Luan smiled slightly and said, "In terms of strategy and courage, who can match His Highness?" With so many people and horses, they are naturally at the disposal of His Highness! ”

"It's good! That's good! Gao Shang looked at Shi Jian with a smile and glanced slightly.

Although Wang Luan seems to be a reckless man, he is actually thick and fine, and the noble words are clearly testing him. Wang Luan couldn't help but scolded in his heart: Good old horseman, you actually want to frame Lao Tzu!

Gao Shangzhi's sentence, seemingly careless, casually asked, in fact, to test whether Wang Luan would have objections to Shi Jian, if Wang Luan replied that he wanted him to command these horses, it means that Wang Luan is quite ambitious, even if it is available at present, it cannot be kept in the future, because sooner or later it will be a disaster.

It's a pity that Gao Shangzhi looked down on Wang Luan, thinking that he was just a reckless man with developed limbs and a simple mind, but in fact, Wang Luan had already seen through his motives.

"Now this king only needs to wait for these soldiers and horses to be in place, and then he can take Shi Min to open the knife!" Shi Jian said proudly.

"According to the old man's opinion, there will be many dreams at night, and His Highness can't wait too long for this matter! It's better to act early! ”

"Now there is not the slightest movement in Handan, and no news has come from it! I don't know what Shi Min is arranged! In such a situation, the Xihua Marquis Mansion is calm, such a tranquility, but the king's heart is a little uneasy! Shi Jian said, and said to Gao Shangzhi: "What the Lord said may be right! We should do it as soon as possible! ”

Gao Shangzhi nodded and said, "Now the entire Yecheng is under the control of Your Highness!" There are still 30,000 troops outside the city as backup, even if Wang Shicheng's department in Handan knows what is happening here in Yecheng, and when they arrive, it will be a day later! Time of day! It's enough to raze the entire Yecheng to the ground, let alone take down dozens of people from the Xihuahou Mansion? ”

"General Wang, what do you think?" Shi Jian glanced at Wang Luan and asked.

Wang Luan thought for a while and said: "When His Royal Highness is ready to start, the last general will bring people to surround Yecheng, keep a mouse and not be able to escape to Handan to report the news, and wait for the other soldiers and horses to arrive, and then take Handan together!" ”

Shi Jian nodded slightly and said, "What the general said has some truth! ”

"In that case, what is Your Highness hesitating about? Directly send troops to surround the Xihuahou Mansion! Gao Shangzhi suggested on the side.

"No!" Shi Jian shook his head and said, "Don't do this brutely!" ”

"Your Highness, you have an absolute advantage now! I don't know why you're hesitating? Wang Luan couldn't help but ask.

"We don't know how many people Shi Min has in Yecheng, the third child went to test it before, but they didn't take advantage of it, but they also suffered a loss, which shows that the small Xihuahou Mansion is a bone that is difficult to gnaw! In that case, how can it be forced? If you kill a thousand enemies and lose 800 yourself, you will be trading at a loss with this king! That's certainly not right! ”

Gao Shang stroked his beard and said slowly: "What Your Highness said, there is some truth, so I don't know what your plan is?" ”

"In the name of the new emperor, Zhao Shi Min enters the palace, no matter how many eyes and ears there are in the Xihua Marquis Mansion, I'm afraid it will be impossible to put his hand in the palace, right?" Shi Jian smiled quite proudly and said: "Today's Wen Cang is obedient to the words of this king, and even his small family is completely entrusted to the hands of this king. In this way, this trick invites you into the urn, and Shi Min is difficult to fly with wings! ”

"Your Highness, this trick is wonderful!" Wang Luan touted.

Gao Shangzhi nodded slightly and said, "That's fine!" Take Shi Min, and the rest of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals are leaderless dragons, so there is nothing to be afraid of! Yecheng is so big, his eyes and ears will soon be found by us digging three feet into the ground! ”

"So, do you think the king's plan is feasible?"

"Your Highness is far-sighted, the old man admires!" Gao Shangzhi said, glanced at Wang Luan, and then at Shi Jian.

Shi Jian understood and instructed Wang Luan: "General Wang, it's not too early, let's go and rest early!" ”

Wang Luan understood that Shi Jian was politely telling him to leave, so Wang Luan also got up very interestingly, saluted and said, "The last general will retire." ”

Shi Jian smiled and waved his hand, and after Wang Luan left, he asked Gao Shangzhi: "My lord, what do you have to say, can you say it now?" ”

"Your Highness's plan just now is good, and it is not difficult to take down Shi Min, but our problem is not this, but the soldiers and horses under Shi Min!"

"As long as you wait for all the armies to arrive, and then transfer troops from Taiyuan to the south, are you afraid that you won't be able to take Handan City?"

"If you fight with Wang Shicheng and Li Chang in Handan, even if you take it, Zhao will lose a lot, and when you ascend the throne, I am afraid that this throne will not be peaceful!"

As soon as Shi Jian heard the noble words, he felt that it made sense, so he asked, "What is the opinion of the adult?" ”

"Originally, you planned to Zhao Wang Shicheng and Li Chang to return to Yecheng, but judging from the current situation, it is impossible for them to obey their fate! But if they were to be kept, it would be a curse! So in the old man's opinion, it is better to let the people lurking in Handan secretly assassinate these two people! Since then, there are dragons on both sides without a leader, so there is really no room for Xihuahou Mansion to turn over! ”

The noble words made Shi Jian's eyes light up, and he said slowly: "The words of the adults are really enlightening! It's just that Wang Shichong and Li Chang are both extraordinary generals who have fought on the battlefield for many years, not only are they heavily guarded by their side, but they are also very vigilant, I'm afraid it's not easy to start! ”

"The chess piece you planted next to Shi Min created the trust of the Xihua Marquis Mansion, taking people's lives, there are all kinds of means in the world, why can you only use brute force? He's resourceful, so he can't think of a suitable solution! ”

"Your Excellency has a point!" Shi Jian nodded and said, "Then do as you say!" This king will order someone to go to Handan to deliver a letter! ”

Gao Shangzhi nodded slightly and said, "This matter should be sooner rather than later!" Don't delay! ”

Shi Jian immediately wrote a letter in his hand, and barely waited for the ink to dry, so he hurriedly put the letter away and shouted outside: "Someone! ”

A person immediately walked in outside the house, it was the eighth child, and the eighth person responded: "What does Your Highness command?" ”

Shi Jian handed the letter out and ordered: "Quickly send this heart to Handan and hand it over to Mr. Qin!" ”

"Subordinates obey!"

"Wait!" Gao Shangzhi suddenly shouted again.

"Your Excellency." Lao Ba hurriedly stopped.

"This letter, you must personally hand it over to Mr. Qin! Do you understand? The noble advised.

The eighth didn't understand why Gao Shangzhi nagged this, so he replied again and again: "My subordinates understand!" ”

"And! Let's see if Mr. Qin is doing well in Handan, and whether his personal freedom is restricted! Have you been targeted by the people of Xihuahou Mansion! If there is anything unusual, you must come back truthfully and report it! ”

Gao Shangzhi finally explained his true meaning, and the eighth child understood, and responded: "My lord, please rest assured! The subordinates will definitely understand clearly! ”

Gao Shangzhi nodded, waved his hand slightly, and ordered, "Go!" ”

After the eighth child left, Shi Jian asked, "My lord, you just told the eighth child like that, are you worried that Lao Qin has been exposed?" ”

Gao Shangzhi frowned slightly, and said: "It stands to reason that with his means, it is impossible for Shi Min to find out, but after so long, there is no particularly useful news sent from his side, and the old man is a little uneasy in his heart!" You have to let the eighth child prove it! ”
