In the midst of an undercurrent surging and the sound of iron armor, more than a thousand martial arts apprentices faintly surrounded the entire palace, they either sat with their fists folded, or leaned against the wall, or squatted in the sky and in all directions, on the surface, they looked like a group of ordinary people, but they did not attract the attention of others.

It's just that no one noticed that on their waists or inside their coats, there were sharp weapons such as long swords and long knives.

On the square in front of the main hall of the palace, all the guards and the knights of the sword were in two camps, standing opposite each other, Zhao Fan stood beside King Huiwen, they stood on the building of the main hall, and looked at the two groups of people below without any waves.

The scene was silent, and those guards didn't expect that King Huiwen, who had always been weak, was actually designing to control them, but they still thought that this was a normal exercise, so they were quietly waiting for King Huiwen to give the order to start the battle.

However, time passed slowly, and King Huiwen was still standing above the building, silent.

King Huiwen didn't speak, and where did they dare to say anything, they immediately endured the doubts in their hearts and waited quietly. At this moment, the north wind is howling, and the north in December has long been cold, and the reckless land is swept by the wind, the grass and trees are withered and yellow, and the weather is cold, and the snow is frosty. The river is frozen, the stinging insects are hidden, and nature presents a chaotic and vast scene!

The palace was different from the wilderness, but a cold and solemn atmosphere, which made the guards below seem a little uneasy as time passed, while the bearded knight still stood quietly, like a bronze man, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

At this time, the gap between these ordinary guards and the bearded knights was revealed.

As if he didn't see the uneasiness of the guards below, King Huiwen and Zhao Fan behind him still pursed their lips and didn't speak. After another cup of tea, the guards were already talking to each other, guessing the intentions of King Huiwen, and at this moment, outside the palace, a sharp cry like a crane suddenly sounded, which surprised everyone.

However, before they could react, King Huiwen and Zhao Fan's slightly blind eyes suddenly opened, bursting out with a burst of fine light, and then, the two of them spoke almost at the same time: "Bearded Knife Knight, do it!" ”

The sudden sound of the two of them was extremely abrupt, and the guards were all startled, but before they could react, the bearded knight who remained motionless was like a cheetah that suddenly exploded, bursting out with great power around his body, taking out the bearded knife from his waist, and rushing towards those guards with lightning speed.

At this time, those guards also reacted, and while secretly scolding these bearded knights for being cunning in their hearts, they also raised their knives to resist, but the two sides fought for only a few tens of seconds, and these guards found out that something was wrong, because these bearded knights were fierce and ruthless, and their moves were fatal, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of guards had died and the knives of the bearded knights.

At this time, they reacted, and the faces of the guards became panicked, this is not a drill at all, King Huiwen is asking for their lives!

On the square, stains of blood, instantly coagulated and blood clots in the extremely low temperature and cold wind, the corpses continued to increase, and after those guards reacted, where did they have the courage to confront the pervert of the bearded knight, and they all cried and shouted for their mothers to run.

There are also some smart people among the guards, who have already understood that this is King Huiwen who is going to confront Li Dui, and immediately shouted: "King Zhao has no way to be desolate, everyone hurry up and rush out of the palace, please Lord Xiangguo to uphold justice." ”

At this time, only Xiangguo Li Dui could save them, so after a moment of stunned, these guards also went out towards the gate of the palace one after another, fleeing in panic, and the bearded sword knight behind him was like a king of Hades who demanded his life, chasing and killing closely.

Above the building, looking at this bloody scene, King Huiwen, who had lived in the palace for a long time, looked a little disgusted and pale, but Zhao Fan after that looked indifferent, looking at the corpses that kept falling on the square, there was no trace of pity in his heart.

These people actually took refuge in Li Dui, and if they chose to oppose themselves, they had to be ready to be killed.

Zhao Fan's sympathy is not overflowing, their lives and deaths are determined by the decisions they make, so Zhao Fan will not pity them, in the eyes of the former, these people are his enemies.

If it is an enemy, it is necessary to kill it by any means and quickly.

On the square, there was a wail, and the guards who had fled in front of the palace were suddenly overjoyed, as long as they ran out of the palace, there was a street outside, could King Huiwen still dare to kill people in the street?

However, when their beautiful dream had not yet been fully implemented, they saw that the guards who had stayed in front of the palace had turned into dead corpses, and a group of about 200 people were looking at them coldly.

This group of people, led by a vicious-looking, holding a double halberd, he looks infinitely powerful, like the power of a dragon elephant, a pair of tiger eyes full of bloodthirsty light, making people look frightened at a glance, not to mention this group of guards who are already soldiers.

"Kill!"

The big man opened his eyes, and before they could react, he rushed away with the two hundred people behind him.

This big man is Xu Ying, and the crane cry of Shicai is from him, which is a signal to move, which means that they are ready, and then he led two hundred apprentices to get rid of some of the guards in front of the door, and flanked these guards who were about to flee with the bearded sword knight.

At this time, these guards in the palace have become bloodless, it seems that King Huiwen is well prepared, they know that even if they escape now, it is impossible, and immediately everyone is sitting on the ground, tied their hands, and a sentence wells up in their minds.

Zhao is about to change the sky!

"Tie them all up and put them in jail!" At this time, Zhao Fan walked down from the building, he glanced coldly at the guards on the ground, and said coldly.

As soon as the words fell, the five hundred bearded sword knights immediately tied up all these people with ropes that had been prepared, the world is impermanent, in the previous hour, these guards were still despising Zhao Fan, and the next hour, they became Zhao Fan's prisoners.

Watching a hundred bearded sword knights bring these guards into the prison in the palace, Zhao Fan then ordered: "One hundred people, change me into the clothes of these guards, patrol outside the door, and pretend that nothing happened, and whoever wants to enter the palace must report before they can be released." A hundred men cleaned the square and removed the corpses and bloodstains, while others defended the king. ”

A series of orders came from Zhao Fan's mouth, and these bearded sword knights and martial arts apprentices all received orders one after another, and immediately did as they were told.

At the same time, the other more than 800 apprentices, when the war was already going on here, were led by Xu Xiong to climb over the palace walls and come to all the palaces, gather the eunuchs, palace maids, and concubines in the palace, and strictly guard them, and absolutely did not allow anyone to leave the palace and leak the news.

"Tell the king and the commander, the task has been completed, as for what those concubines should do?" Xu Xiong was holding a big knife and looked extremely strong, he came to King Huiwen and Zhao Fan, and said.

Although King Huiwen is young, there are many concubines, but most of them are arranged by Li Dui, there are princesses from other vassal states, and there are also some ministers' daughters, and there is only one purpose, which is naturally a link to maintain the relationship between the two sides.

It's just that among the concubines, there is another embarrassing and disgusting person, and that is Li Dui's daughter Li Ji. After all, these concubines are all the concubines of King Huiwen, so Xu Xiong is not easy to arrange, so he immediately asked for King Huiwen's opinion.

Hearing this, King Huiwen said with some disgust: "These people are Li Dui's eyeliner arranged by the thief next to the widow, so let's lock them up with those palace maids, and wait for Li Dui to be eradicated before they fall." ”

Xu Xiong nodded and took the order.

"Brother Wang, what should I do with that Li Ji?" Zhao Fan naturally knew that Hou~ Gong knew that there was such a number one person, and immediately asked, after all, this woman's identity is too special, and it is indeed difficult to deal with.

King Huiwen's face was a little unpleasant, and he muttered: "Although this woman is the widow's concubine, but secretly she monitors the widow all the time, and she never thought that marrying the widow is a member of my royal family, so let's do it, he is the widow's concubine after all, and when the time comes, give her a cup of poisonous wine and let her solve it herself." ”

Zhao Fan was silent for a moment, and then nodded.

Li Dui's intention of marrying his daughter to King Huiwen was the same as that of Cao Ying's intention of marrying his daughter to Emperor Xian of Han during the Three Kingdoms era. The harem is a balance of power, marrying a daughter to the king has a role in all forces, the daughter is the queen, then he is the father-in-law, the emperor's relatives and elders, and it is much more justifiable to do things.

However, King Huiwen said so, and Zhao Fan only nodded, originally, this Li Ji may be of some use when dealing with Li Dui. However, he naturally wouldn't say it, no matter how Li Ji said it, she was King Huiwen's woman after all, and she couldn't use it casually.

Under the design of King Huiwen and Zhao Fan, the guards and maids of the entire palace were all controlled by the power of devastation, and the entire palace had been regained by King Huiwen.

This kind of feeling, King Huiwen has not felt it for nearly ten years, and he immediately became a little excited, his pale face turned red, and the two younger brothers of Zhao Fan and Zhao Sheng hurriedly supported him, and they also felt some emotion in their hearts.

However, this is not the time to get excited, and this is only the first step to success.

At the same time, in the Xiangguo Mansion, Li Dui said that since he saw Zhao Fan and came back from the palace, he felt a little frightened, and he couldn't give up, and drank a few sips of soothing tea, but it had no effect.

Immediately, he also said to Wei Biao at the next place: "How is the matter going with Ge Xiang, our plan will be implemented tomorrow, and now you will send someone to summon him back, so as not to have many dreams at night." ”

Li Dui thought about it, everything in Handan City is fine, and King Huiwen is also under his control, and now only Ge Xiang's first division of the army is outside Handan City, and he is immediately afraid that it is because of what happened to Ge Xiang that his state today is a little abnormal.

Hearing this, Wei Biao also nodded, this time is also the time to recall Ge Xiang, after such a long time, Ge Xiang's conscription plan should have been carried out almost, and he was immediately ordered to retreat. Came to the barracks.

"General, you send a brigade to Fangcun to recall Ge Xiang, and there will be something important to do tomorrow." Wei Biao came to the big tent of the barracks, called his deputy general, that is, the general, and ordered.

Thinking of Ming's actions, Wei Biao was nervous at the same time, his heart was also faintly filled with excitement, since he chose to return to Li Dui, he was always thinking about the day when Li Dui could become the king of Zhao, and when that day came, he would at least be a general.

Because there is a precedent of three families dividing and Tian Chen usurping Qi, Wei Biao is still full of confidence in this coup d'état.

"No!"

The general said yes loudly, and then walked out of the big tent, and immediately transferred a brigade, led by a brigade commander, with swords and guns, and rode fast horses, all the way to the southeast of Handan City.

The general looked at their distant backs, and then looked at the fact that it was close to afternoon at this moment, and at this speed, it seemed that Ge Xiao and the others would not be able to arrive in Handan until this evening at the earliest.

At this time, Lian Po and the others led the army and were slowly marching towards Handan City in a semicircle, although their speed was slow, but it was neat and orderly, and no one was alarmed along the road.

After passing through villages and tribes and other populated places, they all took a detour, and the population of this era was not large, even near the royal city of Handan, the population density was relatively thin, so it was possible to achieve the situation of so many people moving forward, and it could not be discovered.

With the exception of a few generals, most of the soldiers have changed into civilian attire, which is also a measure to be discovered.

In a mountain forest that crossed the white water and was dozens of miles away from Handan City, Li Mu and Xu Jiazheng led the Sixth Division to rest here, they did not move forward together, Lian Po, Gongsun Long, Lian Fu, and two Lian Po generals all led the soldiers of a division respectively, took other roads, and headed towards Handan.

A total of nearly 20,000 people are quietly surrounding Handan in a semicircle.

"Brother Mu, how did you say things are going with Brother Zhao Fan?" Sitting on a grassy field, Xu Jia asked Li Mu beside him with a worried face.

They knew Zhao Fan's plan, and knew that he was going to control the palace now, but in their hearts, they were worried that Li Dui and others would have too many soldiers, and Zhao Fan would not be able to deal with it.

Hearing this, Li Mu shook his head and said: "This strategy was proposed by my brother-in-law, he is calm, he will not do things that he is not sure of, Xu Jia, don't worry, I think it should be fine." ”

Li Mu has followed Lian Po for a few months, and he has changed a lot, and he will no longer be as frizzy as before when he encounters problems, and he is also calm at the moment, if it weren't for this, Lian Po would not be so relieved to lead him with a division.

The two of them sat on the ground, resting, and talking about the specifics of the operation, at this moment, the dark sentry in the distance was rushing over quickly, and said: "Report to the brigade commander, there is a group of five hundred people in front of us approaching in our direction." ”

When Li Mu followed Lianpo to resist Qin in Jinyang, he was the commander of a brigade, so these soldiers all called him so.

Hearing this, Xu Jia and Li Mu both stood up from the ground, and the two looked at each other, both with a touch of confusion, when did a brigade of soldiers appear in this area?

Immediately, the two of them also asked, "Can you see what kind of army soldiers are you?" ”

"It's a soldier of the Left Army."

Hearing this, the faces of the two of them became ugly, at first they thought that their whereabouts were exposed, so Li Dui sent troops to suppress them, but then he thought about it, if Li Dui knew the news of himself and others, then he should know how many people he had, how could he send a brigade to encircle and suppress?

Li Mu pondered for a moment and said, "Look, are there any other soldiers around here?" ”

"No, there is only this one unit within a radius of dozens of miles."

Xu Jia was also frowning at the moment, since they were soldiers of the Left Army, they would naturally not be polite, and now they couldn't figure out why such a force appeared, so they had to capture them all.

At this time, Li Mu also thought so, immediately, the two looked at each other and nodded, he waved his hand, and said, "Okay, immediately lead the brothers to the place where they are advancing and wait for them, so as to capture all these soldiers." ”

Immediately, everyone also got up from the ground one after another, rested for so long, and finally had to face the arrogant and domineering left army, and the soldiers of the sixth division were also gearing up, only listening to Li Mu's order, everyone went in the direction pointed by the dark outpost.

"The place they went to seems to be Fang Village." Soon after, Xu Jia, Li Mu and others came to a high ground, they looked into the distance, and saw five hundred soldiers, riding fast horses, heading to the southeast, and there, there was only one village, Fangcun.

Immediately, Xu Jia also reacted.

Hearing this, Li Mu was also silent for a moment, then suddenly patted his head and said, "I know, they went to find Ge Xiang, didn't my brother-in-law say last time that he killed Ge Xiang and incorporated the Second Division of the Left Army?" Ge Xiang's original second division was stationed in Fangcun, Li Dui didn't know the news before, and now he sent people to Fangcun, it should be to find Ge Xiang. ”

At this time, Li Mu finally understood, and Xu Jia also nodded, the former said well, the soldiers of this brigade have nothing to do to go to Fangcun, there is only this explanation.

After knowing their purpose, Li Mu and Xu Jia wanted to intercept them. Immediately, Li Mu waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately ambushed beside a small road, which was the only way to go to Fangcun, and if you want to go to Fangcun, you must pass through here.

Xu Jia, on the other hand, led a thousand people to the rear of this brigade, preparing to flank them back and forth, not letting go of anyone. (To be continued.) )
