Chapter 485: Jicheng Breaks the Swallow and Keeps Righteousness
Zhou Bo returned to the Han camp and told Fan Hao everything about Lu Juan's thoughts, which made him quite surprised, and he didn't ask about Zhang Sheng and others, just thinking about how to respond to Lu Juan.
"Then Lu Juan really said so, so he said that there must have been something strange about this matter at the beginning, but I didn't expect that it was really Queen Lu who was the obstacle, but this matter seems to be a bit difficult to handle, after all, only Empress Lu and Mrs. Qi are by Your Majesty's side every day." Fan Xu also sighed incessantly.
Zhou Bo was beside him, his face was uncertain, "General, this matter should be decided, and there will be chaos, then Lu Juan and us are confronted, but they are just self-preservation, and now the Han army is 80,000, how can they stay here for a long time?" ”
Fan Xu felt that there was something in this, so he asked with some doubts: "You are also a well-read person, what do you have to say today, and you should think about it together." ”
"Bo is not good at talking, but the consequences of Chen Feng and others are slightly similar to a certain class, they are Zhao Xiang, but they were mistaken because of military power, so they ended up with today's consequences."
"The person in power in the current dynasty is Empress Lu, Lu Yan and Xiao He's rights no matter how geometric, after all, they belong to the foreign ministers, if Your Majesty comes back from Huainan, I heard that we are still confronting King Yan, and he has doubts, Empress Lu is beside him, with a little polish, what can we do? Has the general ever thought about it? Zhou Bo said very seriously.
Fan Xu's face was quite disdainful, "General Zhou is too worried, then the sister of Empress Lu is my wife, even if it is a great sin, she will definitely spare us!" ”
"What a dog! Is your life worthy of the power of the crown prince, and now that you are in charge of the military outside, it is a threat to the crown prince, and why don't you know the stakes? Zhou Bo immediately shouted.
Not to mention that these words really worked, then Fan Xu also woke up suddenly, "Although General Zhou is a military general, there is really no shortage of strategies, if we can't keep it all, how can we ask about others." ”
So, the two of them decided to prepare for a night attack on Jicheng, at this time Lu Juan still had a trace of luck in his heart, after all, Zhou Bo could come, which showed that the Han army was not willing to use troops in vain.
Still waiting for the reply from the Han army, when the night was ugly, Jicheng was defenseless, Fan Hao and Zhou Bo did not use any military techniques, directly attacked the city on the spot, added a cloud ladder, and climbed to the city tower.
The Yan army knew that Lu Juan and the Han army were making peace, how could they have expected today's events, but the soldiers had entered the city, and they needed to take advantage of the fact that the troops were not large, so they fought with the Han army.
Yan Xiang was cautious, and when he heard the shouting of killing at the city gate, the first thing that came to mind was the Han army's night attack on Jicheng, and he immediately ran to Yan Wangfu.
Lu Juan was still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Festival at the moment, hoping to return to Chang'an in the future and explain the rebellion to Liu Bang face to face, but at this moment, he remembered the sound of panic in his ears.
"King, King! Oh no, no! The Han army has entered the city, please flee quickly! It was Yan Xiang who shouted outside the dormitory.
Lu Juan was suddenly awakened, hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and walked towards the outside of the palace, seeing only Yan Xiang standing in front of the door, and the rest of the maids and entourage fled in a panic, not knowing where to go.
"Prime Minister, is it possible that there will be thieves inside and outside this mansion? Why is it so noisy? Lu Qian asked suspiciously.
Yan Yuan immediately stepped forward to support Lu Juan, "King Qiqi, the Han army has entered the city, Zhou Bo came here some time ago, it must be to make our army relax their vigilance, so they will come to attack the city today!" ”
Lu Juan woke up suddenly, and immediately stomped his feet, "The dog slaughterer, he is really cunning, he doesn't miss the feelings of his fellow villagers, the prime minister leaves, and fights to the death!" ”
"The king is going quickly, now the wife and children of a certain have been sent to the Huns by Zhang Sheng, and now there is nothing to worry about, the king takes this opportunity to go to the north gate, and rush to the Huns at night, the most secure also, the old slave is willing to defend this city!" Yan Xiang said very decisively.
Lu Juan was very moved, so he said goodbye to Yan Xiang, "The prime minister is the king of the country, he is really a loyal minister, I never thought that he would be infamous with a certain person through the ages, and I only hope that I can avenge the injustice in the future!" ”
After the two said goodbye, Lu Juan personally led more than 1,000 people to flee towards the north gate, and Yan Xiang organized more than 10,000 Yan troops between the four gates, and attacked the south gate at the same time, wanting to fight to the death with the Han army.
The two armies fought in the city, and it was not until the beginning of the morning that it gradually subsided, and there were only a few thousand people around Yan Xiang at this time, and they still swore not to surrender.
Fan Xu never thought that a small Yan Wangdu would be able to resist desperately for three or four hours, and now seeing that there were only more than 1,000 people under Yan Xiang's hands, he was furious, so he rushed forward and duel with him.
Thousands of Yan troops, how can they defeat more than 10,000 Han troops, in a moment, there are only dozens of people left around Yan Xiang, Fan Hao saw this, and walked forward quite unhappily.
"You are waiting for thieves, what face do you have to resist to death, it is really stupid!" There was a lot of contempt in the words.
Yan Xiang was unkempt at the moment, his blood-stained clothes, and when he saw Fan Hao like this, he immediately retorted: "Each is his master, why not, if you are me, do you have to surrender!" ”
When Fan Hao heard this, he became more and more angry, "I really don't know whether I am alive or dead, and I will ask you, where did Lu Xuan, the king of Yan, flee to, if you show the way, I will spare you from death!" ”
"Now that the army has been defeated so far, I will not be dishonored, where the king fled, you will chase after yourself, how can we easily say!" Yan Xiang said with great momentum.
"Stubborn, you are a thief, what is the righteousness at all, I will not die today, I want to seek my own death, step forward left and right, and immediately kill the thief!" Fan Xu said aloud suddenly.
Yan Xiang's eyes were fierce, so that the surrounding Han troops did not dare to move forward, "Although we are rebels, we are also the Lord, and it is okay to die today, how can we fake the hands of others!" With that, he immediately killed himself.
Several Yan soldiers in the rear saw that the prime minister was so righteous, and they all went to Huangquan with him, and it happened that Zhou Bo came from the south gate at this time, and saw that Yan Xiang was dead, and his heart was very pitiful.
"Why did the general force him to die, when he came to Yan Country to lobby, he talked with Yan Xiang for a while, his words and demeanor were very decent, he was a loyal minister, and he never thought that he would end up like this!" Zhou Bo said quite emotionally.
Fan Xu was a little disdainful, "It's just a traitor, why be merciful, if General Zhou thinks it's inappropriate, he can bury him in the suburbs, which can be regarded as a friend." ”
After a night of fierce fighting, the Yan army of 30,000, surrendered tens of thousands, and more than 10,000 people were killed, which shows that Yan Xiang and Lu Juan are quite popular with the people, and the Han army also injured more than seven or eight thousand people.
After Fan Hao occupied Jicheng, he immediately sent people to search everywhere, but he didn't see Lu Juan and Zhang Sheng, and he was quite helpless in his heart, until everything was arranged, and no one told Lu Juan about fleeing to the Xiongnu.
In the palace of Jicheng Wang, Zhou Bo and Fan Hao sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, "Isn't General Zhou still angry with a certain because of Yan Xiang's matter?" ”
"Vice Admiral Bo Nai, how dare you disagree with the general, Yan Xiang is dead, it's useless to say more." Zhou Boyan said, and immediately drank a full glass of sake, very free and easy.
Seeing this, Fan Hao didn't ask any more questions, so he changed the topic and said: "Now that Lu Juan has fled to, the Yan land is all owned by the Han family, what can we do about it?" ”
