Chapter 276: Taking Advantage of Chaos

The old general Wei Qian was very polite to Chu Yuanzhen, and ordered someone to set up a wine and dinner to entertain him.

After the third round of drinking, everyone was a little drunk, Wei Gan ordered someone to prepare a sleeping place for Chu Yuanzhen, and at the same time sent two soldiers to guard him, and he was put under house arrest in the tent.

Xia Li just felt that Wei Gan was a little troublesome, but he didn't interfere too much, and turned around to ask Wei Gan how to deal with this person, Wei Gan said: "Stay with him for a few days to see if you can lure the people out of the city." ”

"The old general wants to use him as bait?"

He had this plan, but Xia Li had some scruples, and said: "I heard that he is only the concubine of the Ten Princes' Mansion, but I am afraid that he will not pose much of a threat to the Ten Princes' Mansion." And then I have some doubts about his identity......"

"Since there is suspicion, then it is not difficult to send someone to investigate."

Chu Yuanzhen voluntarily fell into the tent of the imperial court as a hostage, and wherever he went, he was followed by someone and was not free for a moment. But it didn't seem to cause him any inconvenience.

Wei Qian and the others were very puzzled by Chu Yuanzhen's behavior of taking the initiative to send him to the door, and he came here for two days, except for the tirade he said when he first arrived, he did not mention half a word about the discussion and negotiation later.

On the third day, Xia Li and Wei Qian discussed: "No matter how useful this hostage is, make a play with him." It's been two months, and it can't be consumed any longer. ”

Wei Gan couldn't figure out what this Chu Yuanzhen was planning, but he still agreed: "Okay, pass the order, attack early tomorrow morning, and bring the hostages with you." ”

Natsugasa saw that the general had finally given instructions, and the worries of these days were finally lifted.

However, on the first night of their army preparing for tomorrow's battle, a tent in one place suddenly caught fire, and the fire was raging.

When Natsu Kasa heard that there was a fire, he was a little surprised and hurriedly asked, "Where is the fire and what is the situation?" ”

"It's the second son's tent that suddenly burned."

Xia Li's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Has the fire been saved?" What about people? So where is Chu Yuanzhen? ”

The fire lit up the dark night sky.

At this moment, Yuan Yan, who was standing on the city wall, also saw this firelight, and he said to the left and right: "Jinshi released a signal, are you ready?" ”

The subordinates promised that a great war was imminent.

There were voices shouting for help everywhere, Wei Gan heard that something was wrong, he frowned, took down the sword hanging on the tent and said, "Catch that second son for me." ”

"What about Chu Yuanzhen, have you caught it?" Natsugasa hurried to the place where the fire was on fire.

The soldier in front of him shook his head and said, "No, it's a bit chaotic at this time." ”

"When the fox's tail finally came out, I said it was a scourge, and the old thing just wouldn't listen. It doesn't take so many people to fight the fire, don't mess around, go and tie up Chu Yuanzhen for me first, he won't be able to run far. ”

Because this fire disrupted the original rhythm of the army, Hengshu took Chu Yuanzhen to hide in the chaos, but they all knew that they would not be found for long after hiding, after all, the military camp was only so big.

"Second master, how long can we stay here?"

Yuan Zhen whispered: "It will be discovered soon." ”

"So what to do?"

"Don't worry, you can't die for the time being." He is a member of the Ten Princes' Mansion and a disciple of the clan, Wei Gan will not kill him, their purpose is to escort them into Beijing and hand them over to the emperor for disposal.

Hengshu was still afraid, and later he pointed to another corner and said, "It's also on fire over there." ”

"God help me!" Through ten consecutive days of observation day and night, he calculated that there would be a southeast wind tonight, and this gust of wind came at the right time.

The cries for help came and went, and the rhythm of the entire barracks was disrupted.

As Chu Yuanzhen said, he didn't hide for long before he was found, and the person who found them was Xia Li.

"All the people inside will come out for me."

Hengshu was a spirit, and Chu Yuanzhen stood up first.

"This fire was set by the second son, you violated military discipline, I want to correct you on the spot." Xia Li was about to kill Chu Yuanzhen with his sword, but Hengshu immediately protected Chu Yuanzhen.

"Hugh is here!"

Xia Li is also a battle-hardened hero, the two quickly fought, Xia Li coped with a few moves, only to find that the guard next to Chu Yuanzhen was skilled, and he couldn't fight quickly, so he had to shout to the back: "Come on, come on, I've caught the arsonist!" ”

It's just that his shout was not immediately answered, because Du Yunxu had already led the men and horses to kill him.

The current military spirit is unstable, and it seems that the army is in chaos. Wei Gan got on the horse, holding a sword in one hand and a torch in the other, and shouted: "Quickly line up, don't run around, what is this like!" ”

"But general, fire ......"

"What's the fire, the enemy has come in, you don't want to respond to the enemy quickly."

Xia Li was bent on making meritorious contributions, and he had only one purpose to kill Chu Yuanzhen.

Du Yunxu was Wei Gan's subordinate before, but now that he is facing the old department, Wei Gan is naturally not polite, he shouted while fighting: "Du Yunxu, you traitor, I will kill you with my own hands today." Du Yunxu was cultivated by him, and now that he is on the opposite side, he is naturally very angry.

Hengshu and Xia Li fought for dozens of rounds and still did not distinguish the winner, Xia Li couldn't get close to Chu Yuanzhen's body, he was angry, but he heard someone calling him from a distance: "Vice General Xia, Vice General Xia!" The general has an order to return to the team as soon as possible. ”

Xia Li was caught by Hengshu as soon as he was distracted, and he took the opportunity to stab Xia Li's sword, but this sword was a little off, and Xia Li shouted: "Come on, come on!" ”

There were torches coming around, illuminating the faces of the two, and Hengshu was a little uneasy when he saw this: "Second master, the situation is not good. ”

"It doesn't matter, just tie your hands and grab it, you don't have to make fearless resistance."

"But ......"

Chu Yuanzhen was not afraid, and all the steps were proceeding according to his expectations. Later, the two were successfully arrested.

Wei Gan asked Xia Li to take advantage of the situation to attack the city, and they were going to fight the people of the King of Jin tonight.

It's just that the team brought out by Du Yunxu is all elite soldiers, and it is not so easy to deal with.

Waiting for Xia Li to lead a team of men and horses, it didn't take much effort to get out of the encirclement and kill straight towards Changxing City. As soon as all the men and horses entered the city, they heard a sound behind them, and the city gate was closed at this moment. Xia Li suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Xia Li, you are surrounded, quickly put down your weapons and surrender quickly!" Yuan Yan stood on the city wall and shouted below.

Xia Licai was not afraid, he laughed loudly: "We have the advantage in numbers, and we will definitely capture you alive today." ”

"Huh, advantage?" Yuan Yan took a look, the old general Wei Qian was trapped outside the city by Du Yunxu, Xia Li only rushed in with half of his men, Du Yunxu dispersed their forces, and the rest was easy to do.
