Chapter 167: Poison Scheme

Yi Kuang is not a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, this can be clearly known from the original history when he received Yuan Shikai's money and forced the Empress Dowager Longyu to sign an abdication edict, so it is not surprising to make this choice in this situation, the two of them were studying how to betray Cixi, and an officer outside ran in to report that the enemy army had arrived in the city.

Zai Zhen's careful liver immediately pinched, and the empty skull of his own personal soldier instantly appeared in his mind.

"How many people came?" He asked with forced composure, only to betray him with a look on his face.

"Countless mountains!" The officer replied to him with a very artistic remark.

However, Zai Zhen didn't feel a trace of artistic atmosphere, and the scene of his brain flowing in front of him and the feeling of hungry claws in the cell were getting clearer and clearer.

"Prepare to meet the enemy immediately, and no one is strictly forbidden to fight without the order of this king!" Of course, Yi Kuang understood his son's virtue, and seeing that he was already a little stupid at this time, he simply gave orders on his behalf.

The officer hurriedly went out to give the order, of course, this order is purely superfluous, and now the children of the Eight Banners on the city wall are all frightened and white, and their upper and lower teeth are fighting straight up, even if there is really an order, I am afraid that no one will dare to attack, when have they seen the scene of more than 20,000 troops besieging the city, especially the hundreds of cannons, and the muzzles of the black holes are even more weak.

At this time, Yi Kuang couldn't go back anyway, so he quickly arranged for a crony to go out of the city, and said that he was going out to tell the rebel army under the banner, but in fact, he went with a whole million taels of silver tickets as a gift, and only half of the silver Cixi gave him was cash silver, and the rest were silver tickets.

"Huh?!" When he took the silver ticket handed to him, Chen Zhong was almost stupid, he really didn't expect that there would be such a good thing. Before the fight started, the enemy sent him money first.

"My lord, my prince is also loyal to the emperor, he did not participate when the queen mother abolished the emperor, and it was too late to know afterwards, and now the saint is still happy He is too late, but after all, the family is in Beijing, and the queen mother also has a great kindness to him, at this time, he can't do it anyway, but he also doesn't dare to stop the saint, so he has to make this decision. This million taels of silver can be regarded as an apology to the soldiers of the rebel army, and I ask the general to forgive me. Yi Kuang's cronie said grovelly.

"Ah, this million is to buy this general not to fight you, it's okay, but this million is a little less, right? I still have more than 20,000 horses here, and I can't divide a few of them! Chen Zhong learned from Yang Feng in this regard.

"How much do you think this is appropriate?" The cronies hurriedly asked, there is a bargain, this is serious business.

"Add another million, your prince just wants to wait and see. I'm worried that it won't look good outside, so I just want to accompany him to perform in a play, and the natural appearance fee for this acting can't be too small. Chen Zhong said lazily.

Adding another million is just a small meaning for Yi Kuang, but this is not the Qingwang Mansion in Beijing after all. It is impossible for him to carry another million taels of silver on him, and it is impossible for Xianghe County to make up a lot of money, so he has to find a way in the silver that has already been sent, but in this way, the conspiracy between himself and Yang Feng will definitely not be able to be concealed. What if someone is still loyal to Galeries Lafayette?

"How many of your men might not be with us? Do you have a number here? He asked his son with a sly voice.

"I'm afraid it's hard to say about Shanqi." Zai Zhen said.

Sister Kawashima and her father are now the Fourth Association Commander, which is the most belligerent in the clan, and he should have been the commander. After all, he is older than Zai Zhen, and his title is higher than Zai Zhen, but his father is just an idle iron hat king with no real power, so he naturally can't compete with Yi Kuang, who is the most popular in front of Cixi, which also leads him to be not very convinced by Zai Zhen.

"Does he like to fight? Then let him take people out to attack the camp, and ask your cronies to single out all those who are unlikely to be singled out with us, and say that they will select warriors to cut down the camp at night, and then tell them that you should bring people to them as backups, and play a trick seriously, and when they are all dead, just use their silver to give Chen Zhong as a gift. Yi Kuang said sinisterly.

This poisonous trick stunned his son, and he directly raised his thumb and said, "High, really high!" ”

As for how to let Shanqi go out, this problem is easy to solve, he is currently leading a group of radical officers to express dissatisfaction with Zai Zhen, everyone knows what sticking to the Xianghe River can make the enemy not dare to cross the city to attack Beijing This is pure, this is just a step away from Beijing, more than 20,000 people casually leave 5,000 is enough to contain the second town, and then the rest will still go straight to Beijing, so hiding in the city is equivalent to selling Beijing to the enemy.

"You know what? This is Ben Shuai's clever plan, we first retreat to the city to show weakness, and then gather elite people who dare to die as the vanguard, Ben Shuai personally led the army as the rear team, and suddenly killed it in the middle of the night while it was paralyzed, wouldn't this be much stronger than staying in the trenches waiting to be gassed? That Yang Shun's department is nothing more than poison gas, cannons, and machine guns, if it is a melee battle, these will become decorations, playing with knives, we are all things handed down by our ancestors, are you still afraid of those fake foreign devils? Zai Zhen said confidently.

The consultant next to him, Katsura Taro, didn't laugh out loud, but when he looked at Yi Kuang's sharp eyes, he didn't dare to say anything, anyway, he was just here to earn a salary, since they were willing to die, then let them go, if he planned like this, it was estimated that the striker would not be able to come back, and he should be honest at that time.

He knew that this plan was tantamount to suicide, but Shanqi and those people knew a fart, and the wisdom of their ancestors was just made up by Luo Guanzhong, and when it reached them, every day the opera was full of big flags to cover up and kill the past, and then the enemy army was defeated, do they know how long it will take for more than 10,000 people to be stuffed out of the crowded city gate?

Since everyone has no opinion, Zai Zhen began to make military arrangements, and all the generals who usually don't deal with him were arranged into the forward, at this time, those people also saw that something was wrong, Shanqi asked with a gloomy face: "Dashuai, is this arrangement too chaotic, if it is a whole construction attack, at least be familiar with each other, and now the various departments are probably a little rusty to cooperate." ”

"No, no, this striker must be a brave fighter, and your brave commanders are very familiar, so I deliberately gathered you together, so that we can form the strongest force." Zai Zhen said.

Since he said so, Shanqi can't say anything more, he can't say that he is not brave enough, right? In this way, after the army was arranged, of course, the city gate was opened at night and ready to kill the general, of course, what Shanqi didn't know was that just before this, a Zai Zhen's cronies had already slipped out of the city gate on the other side, and then quickly ran to Chen Zhong to report the news.

When he heard the news, Chen Zhong was amused.

"You're not lying to me, are you?" He asked curiously.

"General Mingjian, the villain will never dare to deceive you, my prince said that the strikers are all loyal to the Queen Mother, these people will definitely change if they stay in the army, since this is the case, I have to ask the adults to help get rid of them." The messenger hurriedly said with a smile on his face.

"Then Ben Shuai will believe you for once." Chen Zhong nodded and said, after finishing speaking, he was there to read a book and leave him alone.

"Don't you need to make arrangements early?" The messenger said cautiously.

"Arrangement? What is arranged? If you don't report it, they will die! Chen Zhong said very funny, what age is this still playing with this kind of thing, he decided to use these fools to train the soldiers, it is not bad, otherwise he would not have encountered this kind of good opportunity!

Poor Shanqi naturally didn't know that he had been sold, he led his three thousand elites to rush out of the city gate for more than ten minutes, all of them were white cloaks, full of grenades in addition to rifles, and then a ghost head knife was inserted in his back, which looked very majestic, standing densely on the snow, killing in the snow.

At this time, Shanqi also deliberately looked back at the back, and found that Zai Zhen did follow closely with a large team, which was considered to be relieved, of course he understood that Zai Zhen meant to trap him this time, and he would definitely do the same, who came out of the intrigue family still doesn't know who, but he doesn't know how hard the pit is.

Large snowflakes are falling overhead, only the sound of snow falling in the silence, taking a cold breath, wearing a white cloak, looking at the lights of the loyal army camp in the distance, I can't help but feel a sense of pride in my heart.

After this battle, maybe in the mouth of Beijing's storytellers, there will also be a legend of a good soldier in the snow, just like Ding Feng in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Kill a blood-stained robe in the enemy camp to show the true colors of a man.

Speaking of which, he has always been very skeptical about the authenticity of Zai Zhen's deeds, as far as his understanding of this guy is concerned, it is too unbelievable, and the last time the noble officers who disappeared and returned were bought back by their families, he also knows this to some extent, and they can buy it back, I am afraid that it is not impossible for Zai Zhen to buy it back, but the loss that Yang Feng admitted by himself is also true, so he is a little bit confused.

"Master?" Goshha next to him looked at the stunned master and hurriedly reminded carefully.

Shanqi came back to his senses at this time, and Zhao Zilong on the stage flicked his cloak, and shouted in a low voice with a pistol in his left hand and a knife in his right hand: "Good men in Manchuria, go with Ben to kill the enemy!" ”

After speaking, he lowered his head and rushed forward with a low body. (To be continued......)
