Chapter 308: Intention Exposed

p

After the occupation of Jinyang, although Wang Zhenwei had tried his best to block the news, he was still unskilled.

A Yanjun junior colonel was lucky not to die, and escaped the search of the Hexi army, and broke into the eldest son in panic in the middle of the night when he couldn't see his fingers.

When the chamberlain woke Murong Yong from his sweet dream, he yawned and got out of bed with great reluctance.

"What happened? Do you have to wake up the widow in the middle of the night?! ”

"The king, the palace gate guards came to report, saying that a Jinyang Junior School broke into the palace gate at night, claiming to have an urgent event to report."

The chamberlain stood at the door, smiling all over his face, carefully accompanying him.

"Jinyang?" Murong Yong frowned, and he faintly felt a trace of something bad in his heart.

Considering that it was an eventful season, he was cold and excited, and hurriedly ordered someone to report in person.

In less than a cup of tea, the Yan Jun junior colonel walked into the main hall, stepped forward with his fists together, knelt on the ground, and did his courtesy.

"The last will meet the king."

"Why don't you help Wuxiang Gongzhen guard Jinyang, why did you come to your eldest son in the middle of the night?"

Maybe he had suffered too many grievances along the way, and when someone came to see Murong Yong asking, he cried.

"King, it's not good."

"Wang Zhenwei suddenly turned against him and sent troops to attack Jinyang at night, causing almost all the defenders to be wiped out, and even Wuxiang Gong was unfortunately killed."

"The last general was lucky not to die, and he came to report to the king."

"What?!"

Murong Yong was taken aback, and his face was full of sleep, and his face was full of shock.

The eyes that were originally worried also widened suddenly, and they spoke with a trembling look.

"This ...... Is this true? ”

"The last general is willing to use the head of the item as a guarantee!" Xiao Xiao patted his chest and said.

"A few nights ago, Wang Zhen viciously sent a small number of Hexi soldiers to pretend to be heavy soldiers, and bribed them with goods to deceive the trust of the defenders."

"As a result, the defenders were caught off guard and let Jinyang fall into the hands of Hexi."

Knowing what happened, Murong Yong couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

He wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and muttered, "How can this be, how can this be......"

He was alone for a long time before he remembered to gather his ministers to discuss countermeasures.

Summoned in the middle of the night, the ministers thought that something big had happened, and they did not dare to slack off, so they all rushed to the palace as fast as possible.

After everyone came, they happened to see Murong Yong sitting on the dragon chair with a gloomy face, and there was a Yan Jun junior colonel standing next to him.

"Tell you about an unfortunate thing, for some reason Hexi and I suddenly turned against each other."

"At present, the evil department of Wang Zhen has attacked and occupied Jinyang, and Murong Youye, the Duke of Wuxiang, has unfortunately been killed."

Knowing that Hexi turned against him, the ministers whispered, some were angry, some gloated, and some secretly rejoiced.

After a brief introduction to the ins and outs of the incident, Murong Yong was like an enraged tiger and began to roar.

"Hexi privately occupies Xiyan City, and it must be severely punished."

"Prince, the widow now orders you to lead 30,000 horses to go out and take Jinyang back."

"Obey."

The crown prince Murong Liang obeyed his father's orders, and when he took over the king's name, he was going to transfer troops and send generals.

Unexpectedly, he was blocked by Zhang Teng.

"The prince is slow, the king is angry, and the minister has something to say."

Murong Yong stared at Zhang Teng gloomily, and said unhappily: "Zhang Qing, the widow knows that you have a good impression of Hexi, but don't waste your public for personal reasons." ”

"My lord, I misunderstood your subordinates, it's not that I don't agree to conquer Jinyang."

Zhang Teng said unhurriedly: "It's just that the minister has some doubts in his heart, and he wants to ask this general for advice." ”

The little colonel who came to report the news was sitting on the sidelines and doing nothing.

Suddenly, he heard that Zhang Teng wanted to ask him for advice, so he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Please speak up." ”

"Dare to ask the general, how did the Hexi Army suddenly turn against him? Have you had a conflict before? ”

The general did not doubt him, and blurted out: "No! The relationship between the two sides is very good. ”

"When the Hexi Army arrived, Wuxiang Gong also hosted many banquets for Wang Zhenwei and other Hexi generals, and everyone drank and talked happily during the banquet, which was very friendly."

"Oh, I see!"

Zhang Teng deliberately made a look of sudden realization, and asked with bad intentions: "I heard that the Hexi Army pretended to be a heavy soldier to deceive the Jinyang City Gate, right?" ”

"Yes, at that time, the Hexi army offered to exchange five carts of war booty for going into the city to rest for a night."

"That is, the car is full of gold and silver jewelry?"

"Yes, the last general saw with his own eyes that the chariot was loaded with all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, and silk and silk."

"Then you saw a large number of jewels appear in front of you, and you didn't think about anything else?"

"Why not? At that time, many brothers were eager to grab it. ”

This person blurted out some words without thinking.

Zhang Teng leaned at him, and suddenly asked aggressively: "Since you have moved your mind, Anzhi has not taken action?" ”

"Did you take the ploils of the Hexi Army first, angering the Hexi Army, and eventually causing the two sides to turn against each other?!"

At this time, Murong Yong also reacted, he had been unable to figure out before, why did the Hexi Army, which was friendly, suddenly point its blade at Xiyan?

Not to mention that the Hexi Army is still fighting with Houyan in Hebei at the moment, it is rare that they are not afraid that Xiyan will cut off the way to retreat?

Now that Zhang Teng said this, he suddenly figured it out.

It must have been the Jinyang defenders' intention to make money that triggered a series of conflicts.

How could that little school think of Zhang Tenglai's move, and he was so anxious that beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his head, and he waved his hand again and again to deny it.

"No, no, the last general has no intention of making money."

"You don't have the intention of getting rich, and you don't necessarily have anyone else, do you dare to guarantee it with your head?"

Zhang Teng had a knife in his words, and his tongue was unparalleled, and he was speechless when he asked this person.

"I can't answer it! What does this mean? It shows that the culprit of this conflict may be the Jinyang defenders. ”

Murong Yong suddenly realized, and couldn't help but be furious: "If it weren't for Zhang Qing's guidance, I'm afraid the widow would still be in the dark." ”

"It's really hateful, you don't do anything all day long, you only know how to get into trouble and cause trouble, what do you want?"

"Someone, drag this person out and behead him."

Soon a guard came in, like a chicken, and dragged the little colonel straight down.

This person didn't have time to distinguish, so he could only shout repeatedly: "King, the last will be wronged." ”

Not long after, the chamberlain carried a plate with a bloody head on it, and presented it to the throne for Murong Yong to inspect.

Murong Yong waved his hand, and after the chamberlain retreated, he asked worriedly, "Tell me all about it, how to deal with this matter next?" ”

Murong Liang sneered and said, "Father doesn't have to worry, his son is willing to lead his troops north to recover Jinyang." ”

"Wang Zhen is a famous general in Hexi, and the Hexi Army is a powerful force in the world, so it is not the best policy to send troops rashly."

After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Murong Yong did not advocate a solution by force.

Zhang Teng echoed his words and said: "The king is reasonable, for the sake of today's plan, on the one hand, we should mobilize elite soldiers and strong generals to strictly defend the dangerous passes in various places. ”

"On the other hand, send an envoy to Jinyang to visit Wang Zhenwei and strive to resolve the dispute by peaceful means."

"If the Hexi Army insists on refusing to reconcile, it will not be too late to send troops to suppress it."

"Lord Zhang's words are wrong."

"Anyway, it was the Hexi Army that occupied Jinyang first, and then killed Wuxianggong."

"If you don't send troops to conscript, where is the dignity of the king? Won't it make the world's heroes laugh? ”

"The Hexi army came from afar, and there was a big battle in Hebei, and now it is the end of the strong crossbow, so there is no need to worry."

"The prince patronized the troops to Jinyang, but he forgot to die behind Houyan!"

"What if during the period when the Great Army is dispatched, what should I do if Houyan raids Taihangtian?"

"Hahaha, Lord Zhang has filtered, in the future, Yan will be besieged by three parties, where will you have the energy to attack us."

"Presumably the prince forgot, at this moment, the Hexi Army may have stopped marching into Hebei, and we have not launched an attack on Hebei from beginning to end."

"Therefore, it is said that it is a three-way siege, but in fact, it is just one family of Northern Wei."

"And the minister also heard that Murong Chui is traveling north day and night, and once the main force of Houyan returns, maybe even Tuoba Jue will flee from the wind."

"After the Northern Wei Dynasty was cleaned up, Murong Chui saw that the state was in turmoil, how could he let go of the opportunity that was close at hand?"

"Therefore, Weichen thinks that striving for a peaceful resolution of the Jinyang incident is the right way."

"In this way, we can not only stabilize Hexi, an ally, but also avoid being coveted by Houyan."

Murong Yong pondered for a moment, and finally adopted Zhang Teng's suggestion.

On the one hand, he ordered Murong Liang to strengthen the vigilance in various places and prepare for an armed attack.

On the other hand, Zhang Teng was sent as an envoy to Jinyang to see if there was any possibility of a peaceful settlement of the dispute.

It's a pity that Murong Yong didn't know that all this was just Zhang Teng's golden cicada's plan to get out of the shell.

At that moment, he returned to the mansion and immediately began to arrange for his family to secretly evacuate in the direction of Xihe.
