3. Give it up

Sima Ji walked up to the dying King Sima, and he looked at King Sima with contempt.

"Your Majesty, the old minister will send you on your last journey, don't worry, I will help you take good care of Princess Yanran." When King Sima heard Yan Ran's name, he suddenly sobered up, he knew that his favorite daughter was going to be the princess of the dead country, and his eyes showed endless sorrow. Sima Ji took out the knife of the guard next to him and stabbed it into Sima Wang's heart, and a tear also flowed from the corner of Sima Wang's eyes when he closed his eyes.

Yanran, who had been at the mouth of the black hole under the pond all night, had been crying until she was tired of crying and fell asleep in Wu Chengcheng's arms, and when she woke up again, Wu Chengcheng had already brought hot food and an oil lamp from the other side of the black hole.

"Princess, you're awake, come and drink some water and eat something first." Yan Ran shook her head weakly.

"Princess, if you don't eat, how will you avenge the emperor, and how will you survive until the arrival of the general. I have already released the carrier pigeon to the general. Wu Chengcheng knew very well that in addition to King Sima, in Yan Ran's heart, she and Jing Lan were the most important, and she knew very well that Jing Lan was the only person who could give her hope now. Sure enough, Yanran took the food of Wu Allure and cried while eating.

Jing Lan outside the fortress is also forced to go out this time, he has long seen Sima Ji's ghost fetus, if he is not in the middle of the court, Sima Ji is likely to make trouble, but if the enemy army in the west captures the western border, then it will directly threaten the safety of the Celestial Empire, so he has to go to the enemy, but the reason why he is willing to go out of the fortress is because he trusts Xu Zhi, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and he is a friend of life and death who has been on the battlefield with him, he thought that Sima Ji does not have any military power just a civil servant, and the palace is guarded by Xu Zhi, Coupled with the fact that the enemy forces in the west do not seem to be attacking aggressively this time, he should be able to return triumphantly soon. So he went to Saiwai, but he never dreamed of Xu Zhi's betrayal, let alone that this Sima Ji would collude with the enemy army in the west.

Jing Lan is in the tent at the moment with his cronies and lieutenant generals to discuss strategy, he is now unable to attack the enemy, it seems that the enemy knows how many soldiers and horses he has brought, and seems to know which people he sent to fight, and the enemy army does not take the initiative to attack every time, only defends and does not attack, but does not withdraw the army, Jing Lan is puzzled, at this time a guard with a dead carrier pigeon in his hand appeared in the military tent. The lieutenant took the pigeon and opened the letter.

"General, the capital is fine, don't worry, it is reported that there are people in the DPRK and China who have colluded with the western enemy, and they have been captured, and the western enemy has poured out, and the main forces are in the mountains in the rear, and the general can design to lure them out, and you can win a complete victory. Stay. After hearing this, Jing Lan's heart felt a lot more relieved.

"This traitor actually colluded with the western enemy, no wonder the other party is so clear about our configuration, we can't attack it for a long time." The adjutant general said angrily.

"This is one thing, but why the western enemy is delaying the attack, as if it is delaying time, this makes me very uneasy." Jing Lan always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell where it was.

"General, maybe they were also afraid of your might, General, and they were afraid that the whole army would be wiped out, so they didn't dare to attack in a big way." Hearing what the adjutant general said, Jing Lan didn't answer him, but silently hoped in his heart, he knew very well that in order to kill the enemy and win, the military spirit was very important, and now Xu Zhi's information could undoubtedly strengthen the military spirit, so he buried the anxiety in his throat.

On the other hand, Sima Ji killed King Sima and didn't dare to immediately declare that King Sima had died and proclaimed himself emperor, but just completely blocked the palace and didn't let a little wind leak out, because he knew that there was still a Jing Lan outside the fortress, and there was also a western enemy looking down on him, he had to use Jing Lan to defeat the western enemy first, and then use Yan Ran to lure Jing Lan to come to Beijing alone and kill Jing Lan, as long as Jing Lan, the spiritual leader, died, the Jing family army was like losing the military soul, and the rest was naturally easy to deal with. In this way, you can kill two birds with one stone. He also sent a letter to the leader of the western enemy, Mayedo, saying that his men were mixed in the Jingjia army and had poisoned the water source of the Jingjia army, and that they could attack boldly and confidently, and they would definitely keep their promise to surrender the western border afterwards.
