Chapter 172: The Big Thing Can Be Determined
"From now on, General Ben and Marshal Zhao will temporarily lead everyone, and wait until the matter of Li Dui is resolved by the king, and then arrange the affairs of the army in detail. Everyone has performed well during this time, and so many military positions have been vacated, and those who perform well may be promoted. After everything was dealt with, Lian Po also said loudly.
If you want to convince the public, you must know how to give grace and power, for this, Lian Po is very clear, so when he deters them with strong troops, he also gives them some small hopes, who doesn't want to be promoted? With this temptation, they will certainly strive to behave and obey the arrangement.
After the matter was dealt with, Zhao Fan also took a thousand people to a slightly lower city wall, because Lian Po had just subdued the soldiers of the left army and the Chinese army, in order to prevent them from mutiny, so the former and most of the soldiers of the right army continued to stay in the barracks, and Zhao Fan, at this time, he had to go to Xiangguo Mansion, after all, Wei Biao and others were still there.
After such a long time, Wei Biao and the others saw that Li Dui had not returned to the palace, and they didn't know if they would go to the palace to look for it, but even if they went to the palace, Zhao Fan was not worried, after all, in the palace, there were more than 2,000 bearded sword knights and apprentices in the academy, although there were guards in Xiangguo's mansion, there were not many, and Li Dui's main force was those soldiers outside the city.
However, those soldiers have been subdued by Lian Po, and Wei Biao and the others cannot be counted on.
In Handan City, there was a quiet, on the head of the city, there were no guards patrolling, Zhao Fan took this thousand soldiers, used ropes and other climbing tools to cross the city wall, and entered Handan City.
Although the military made such a big movement just now, although it attracted the attention of the guards in the city, they didn't take it too seriously, because the distance was a little far, they couldn't see what was happening in the barracks, and they thought it was a fire in the barracks, but when they saw that the fire was extinguished, they relaxed their vigilance.
More than 1,000 people, silently swept across the city wall, came to a row of remote houses, Zhao Fan recognized the way, and walked towards the left, as long as he bypassed a few streets, not far in front of him was Xiangguo Mansion.
When Zhao Fan and the others rushed to Xiangguo's mansion, in Xiangguo's mansion, it was still brightly lit at such a late hour, Wei Biao, Li Ran and others were sitting in the hall, waiting for Li Dui's return.
They didn't expect that Li Dui had been captured, so they were still waiting for Li Dui to come back from the palace to discuss the matter of Ming Yu's action, and nearly two hours had passed, and everyone was a little unable to sit still.
"General Wei, Lord Xiangguo hasn't come back for so long, should we go into the palace to have a look, so as not to have anything." At this time, a middle-aged man with the official position of Da Raid Yin proposed.
The Great Attack Yin was an official in Zhao who supervised the manufacture of weapons and held great power. As the saying goes, if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools, which shows how important he is as an official who supervises the manufacture of weapons.
Hearing this, Wei Biao didn't speak, and there was a hint of hesitation in his heart.
Li Dui is no longer here, he is the most powerful here, so everyone also wants to focus on him, but Wei Biao didn't pay attention at the moment, going to the palace so late would have a bad impact, but Li Dui didn't come back so late, and he was worried that something would happen to him.
"Okay." After thinking about it for a long time, Wei Biao also made up his mind.
Ming said that it was the time to do it, at this juncture, he absolutely did not want anything to happen, especially Li Dui, the former is the main planner and implementer of this matter, if something happens to him, the consequences will be extremely serious.
Immediately, Wei Biao also transferred a hundred guards from Xiangguo's Mansion, and walked out of Xiangguo's Mansion with a few officials who had taken refuge in Li Dui.
Just as they were about to get into the carriage, it was in vain, only to see a large number of soldiers suddenly pouring out from various streets, and in an instant, they surrounded the Xiangguo Mansion, seeing such a posture, Wei Biao and the others were also startled.
"General Wei, don't come unharmed." At this time, Zhao Fan slowly walked out of the soldiers with a spear in his hand, with a hint of banter in his eyes.
This sudden change shocked Wei Biao and the others, especially when they saw Zhao Fan suddenly appear, they were even more confused, Wei Biao was also panicked, and thousands of soldiers suddenly appeared to surround Xiangguofu, if you don't panic, it is impossible.
However, what made Wei Biao most strange was how Zhao Fan could suddenly appear here, and bring so many people to surround Xiangguo Mansion, what was he going to do, was he crazy?
Wei Biao was calm, he took a step forward and said coldly: "What does Master Zhao mean by this?" ”
At this time, Li Dui went to the palace for a long time and did not return, and Zhao Fan suddenly led his troops to surround Xiangguo Mansion, so it had already made Wei Biao feel a bad feeling in his heart, but although he was a little panicked, he was not afraid of anything because of the large number of generals on his side.
Hearing this, Zhao Fan suddenly smiled slightly, flicked his fingers, and said indifferently: "Li Dui was disrespectful at the banquet, and he was waiting for an opportunity to murder the king, and he was captured by me with my troops." Now I am on the orders of the king to arrest the remnants of Li Dui, the thief, and the Xiangguo Mansion will be taken back by the king and the house will be raided, so General Wei should come with me. ”
After Zhao Fan finished speaking, he also sneered and was silent.
After a short period of stunnedness, Wei Biao looked up to the sky and laughed, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. Disrespectful to King Huiwen, it was like this a few years ago, and now they control the soldiers and horses of the two armies, and the palace is theirs, how can Li Dui be captured?
Moreover, he didn't know the surname of King Huiwen, with the weakness of his surname, how could he dare to order the arrest of Li Dui, and also raid his house, he was about to laugh to death.
Seeing Wei Biao laughing, Zhao Fan didn't speak, but looked at him sympathetically, as if he was watching a joke, pitiful for him Wei Biao, as a general, didn't even have this bit of IQ.
If Li Dui is okay and things have not changed, how dare he lead his troops to surround Xiangguofu.
Seeing the sympathetic look on Zhao Fan's face, Wei Biao's laughter also stopped involuntarily, he turned his head to look at the black soldiers around him, and there was a faint feeling in his heart, isn't Zhao Fan just a bare-bones master? Where are so many soldiers?
Moreover, he didn't believe that Zhao Fan would be a fool, how could he do something he wasn't sure about, could it be?
Thinking of this, Wei Biao's heart was also cold, looking at the smiling young man in front of him, his body seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, and there was a bone-chilling chill all over his body, which made him shiver.
At this time, Zhao Fan didn't want to say too much, he waved his hand and said directly: "Arrest them all for me, and gather everyone in Xiangguo's Mansion in the front yard, regardless of men, women, old and young, don't let anyone go." ”
Hearing this, more than a thousand soldiers suddenly rushed up like wolves and tigers, and threw Wei Biao to the ground, two soldiers respectively pressed his arm, and the other officials, under the surprise and incredulity, were all controlled.
Seeing a large number of soldiers, with a cold face and a sharp weapon in hand, Wei Biao's face also turned pale, and it was only now that he knew that Li Dui had indeed been arrested.
Everyone in Xiangguo's Mansion was panicked, crying and screaming endlessly, but Zhao Fan ignored it, and looked at Xiangguo's Mansion with a calm face, Li Dui's concubines and slaves were all dragged out of the room and fell to the ground.
Those officials were as white as paper at the moment, they didn't expect that Li Dui, who was in power and in the opposition, would be defeated by Zhao Fan like this, which was unbelievable!
"Hehe, General Wei, among all of them, you and Li Dui danced the most, maybe you are still thinking that you still have more than 20,000 soldiers outside the city, but unfortunately, what I want to tell you is that your 20,000 soldiers have been controlled by our people, and General Lian is leading the soldiers of the right army to watch over them. Oh, and your generals, divisions, and other generals, who have also been captured by me one by one, and what I want to tell you is that you have been defeated. ”
Zhao Fan played with the short blade in his hand, as if he was telling a trivial matter, and he didn't care.
However, his words were undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Wei Biao and the others, and the more than 20,000 soldiers outside the city were controlled by Zhao Fan? ! Oh my God, what the hell is going on?
Everyone's faces became even more ugly, Wei Biao sat on the ground, his face seemed to be ten years old, he never thought that the army outside the city would be controlled by Zhao Fan so easily, and they didn't even know the news of Lian Po's return.
Now, Wei Biao realized that King Huiwen and Zhao Fan had already laid out a plan to deal with themselves and others, but they were used to being comfortable, without a sense of urgency, and they didn't even know the news of Lian Po's return.
In this showdown, as Zhao Fan said, they are indeed defeated, and there is no chance of a comeback.
Wei Biao's heart was extremely unwilling, he took refuge in Li Dui at the beginning, just to be able to use Li Dui's power to make further progress in the officialdom, but now, the result of failure made him a little unbelievable, and his eyes were blank.
Zhao Fan understands this very well in his heart, but he will not do anything about it, all of this is Wei Biao's own fault.
Seeing that everyone in Xiangguo's Mansion was called up and concentrated in the front yard of Xiangguo's Mansion, Zhao Fan also stepped into the mansion, glanced at everyone coldly, and said, "Take them all away and put them in prison." ”
As soon as the words fell, those slaves and Li Dui's wives and concubines suddenly shouted loudly, such a big thing happened in Xiangguo Mansion, they had already expected that something bad might happen to Li Dui, but it was impossible for them to endure it if they were to let them enter the cold and damp prison.
"Take it away!"
However, no matter how they called, Zhao Fan was unmoved, he waved his hand, and the surrounding soldiers suddenly rushed up, tied everyone up, and escorted them to the outside of the mansion.
The world is impermanent, and the noble Xiangguo Mansion fell from the clouds overnight, and everyone in the mansion became prisoners who were not even as good as slaves.
After all this was dealt with, Zhao Fan also rushed to the palace with the rest of the soldiers, and now, in the palace, everything is as usual, and nothing abnormal happened, Li Dui was tied up by King Huiwen and was asking about the whereabouts of the tiger talisman.
"How's it going?" When King Huiwen saw Zhao Fan walking in, he immediately hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
Although Li Dui was arrested, if the matter in the military camp did not succeed, it would be extremely troublesome, so after Zhao Fan left, he was also anxious, and now when he saw Zhao Fan, he walked up with a nervous face.
"Hehe, Brother Wang, the military camp has been controlled by General Lian, I also went to Xiangguo Mansion just now and arrested all the people in Xiangguo Mansion, Wei Biao and others are also among them." Zhao Fan smiled.
For someone with a lot of authority like Wei Biao, Zhao Fan naturally couldn't let it go, and his fate would definitely not be much better than Li Dui.
Hearing this, King Huiwen was also overjoyed, and a stone in his heart finally landed, and now Li Dui, Wei Biao and other party leaders were captured, and the soldiers in the barracks were controlled by Lian Po, and the original Li Dui group was destroyed overnight, and he could finally breathe.
Since Li Dui has been captured and the soldiers in the barracks have been controlled, the tiger talisman that Li Dui hid is not important, this kind of thing will be made when the time comes.
The dark night that has surrounded Handan for a long time was finally broken by the dawn of dawn, and the morning light shrouded the rivers and mountains of Zhao Kingdom, making the entire Zhao Kingdom seem to be plated with a layer of gold edges, and the fresh air fills the heaven and earth.
At the court meeting, these ministers realized what an earth-shattering event happened last night, and in one night, Li Dui, the prime minister, Wei Biao, the general, and a group of ministers with heavy power were all ambushed.
Everyone seemed to be dreaming, and they couldn't believe the edict announced in public by Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, but when they saw Li Dui and Wei Biao, as if they were different people, wearing prison uniforms and wearing a cloak and hair, they believed it this time.
This matter, not only for Zhao State, even for the whole world, is undoubtedly a major event, the news of the arrest of Zhao State's Xiangguo Li Dui, in the blink of an eye, spread to all the vassal states, to the great surprise of the kings of all countries.
Everyone knew Li Dui's status in the Zhao State, who would have thought that King Huiwen would be able to design to get rid of this person, which made all countries re-examine the Zhao State again.
The most important thing is that after such a major event, Zhao did not suffer any losses, which made those countries who wanted to take advantage of Zhao's domestic fighting and reap the benefits of fishermen had to give up the idea in their hearts.
Overnight, the state of Zhao changed, and the entire imperial court carried out a major blood change, and all the ministers who had contact with Li Dui and secretly supported Li Dui stepped down. At this time, King Huiwen also showed his skills and wisdom, except for a slight lack of courage, in general, King Huiwen was still a virtuous king.
Internal and external affairs were handled in an orderly manner by King Huiwen, which also made him, who had not been in power for many years, a little tearful, a feeling that he had not experienced for many years.
Zhao Fan knew that his brother Wang was excited, so he let him deal with it, and after that, Zhao Fan's life experience was completely made public, and no one raised any questions, Zhao Fan's merits and talents have long been proven by the world.
Although these ministers were surprised in their hearts, they naturally didn't say anything, and after that, Wang Xian returned to the field, Lian Po served as a general, commanding the Chinese army, and Zhao Fan and a general of the former were directly promoted to generals, each leading the right and left armies.
This time, Zhao Fan jumped two levels in a row, directly stepping over the post of general, from division commander to general.
No one has any objections to King Huiwen's decision, Zhao Fan's merits are enough to serve as a general, and Zhao Fan's identity is not the same as before, he is now the son of Zhao Guo, Gongzi Fan.
The son of the monarch, with a noble status, and a royal child of Zhao State, who dares to disagree.
To Zhao Fan's surprise, King Yan sent an army to help King Huiwen on the second day of Li Dui's ambush, but they came a day late. What surprised Zhao Fan the most was that the commander of the Yan army, who ordered the troops to help Zhao, turned out to be Zhao Hao who he met in Bairen City.
Zhao Fan was extremely surprised, he didn't expect that Zhao Hao, who had a good conversation with them in Bairen City, would return to Zhao after nearly a year, and he would appear as the commander of the Yan country's reinforcements.
Although their appearance was a day late, it didn't help Zhao Fan, but Zhao Fan and the others were also very happy, when they were in Bairen City, their relationship was very good, although they only got along for a few days, but they all appreciated each other very much.
Especially Zhao Hao, when he was in Yan Kingdom, he heard about some of Zhao Fan's deeds, and now he is very excited to see him after such a long time.
When he first met Zhao Fan, he knew that this young man was different, and his current deeds showed that his vision was not wrong, Li Dui, who was in power and in the opposition, was defeated by a young man who had not yet reached the crown, and he didn't know how many people would be surprised when he said it.
"I knew that Brother Zhao Fan was not an ordinary person, but I didn't expect you to be Gongzi Fan back then, which is really surprising." At the banquet, Zhao Hao said with a smile.
After nearly a year of not seeing him, Zhao Hao is still the same as when Zhao Fan first saw him, with a handsome face and a slender and straight figure, giving people an extremely comfortable feeling that they can't help but look at him a few more times.
Zhao Fan immediately smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Zhao Hao has won the award, compared to you, I am far behind." ”
As soon as the words came out, he felt that something was wrong, he was now a general, and Zhao Hao was a county guard in Yan State, and there was still a gap between the positions of the two, so Zhao Hao was also a little embarrassed immediately, but he didn't care.
In fact, Zhao Fan didn't mean it, because of his previous life, Zhao Fan had an admiration for this outstanding general during the Warring States period, so he said so. However, Zhao Hao is not very famous now, and there is a big gap between him and Zhao Fan.
"Ahem, Brother Zhao Hao, this time you led troops from Yan Kingdom, did you come on the orders of King Yan?" Zhao Fan said.
Hearing this, Zhao Hao also said: "Well, I heard that Li Dui is plotting against the king, and it just so happens that King Yan is ready to send troops to help the king. ”
So that's the case, Zhao Fan nodded, which can be seen that Zhao Hao still has deep feelings for Zhao Guo.
Thinking of this, Zhao Fan also had an idea in his heart, wanting to leave Zhao Hao in Zhao Kingdom. However, Zhao Hao is an official of Yan State after all, and it seems that it is a little inappropriate to bring up this matter, and the most important thing is that Yan Guo sent troops to help King Huiwen, which was proposed by Su Qin, if this is the case, wouldn't it seem that he is a bit of a villain.
