In the middle of the night, the moon was dark, and the campfires in the camp were much smaller, and there was a sleeping silence in the camp, except for the guards who patrolled intermittently.

Inside the camp tent of Dazai Jiangzi, the high candles are shining, and ten meters away from the tent, there are soldiers in full armor guarding all around, and several figures jumping inside can be faintly seen from outside the tent.

Jiang Zi'an sat on the main seat, first looked at Wang Shi, who was standing on the left side below, and said with a smile, "Wang Shi, you have worked hard, you have done a good job this time." ”

Hearing Jiang Zi'an's words of appreciation, Wang Shi felt a burst of joy in his heart, and immediately stepped forward, saluted and said, "Thank you for your compliment, the student is just acting according to the plan, I dare not say that it is hard, and it is the honor of the student to be able to work for Lord Dazai." ”

Jiang Zi'an smiled slightly, and said to Wang Shi, "Hehe, Wang Shi, you don't have to be so humble, I have always rewarded and punished my subordinates, and if you do well, you will naturally be rewarded." This time I can successfully marry Liu Chen, you have made a great contribution, I will never treat you badly, and when the matter is completed, I will make you the commander of the Red Horse Army, give you the status of nobility, and reward you with a hundred acres of land. ”

Hearing this, Wang Shi was ecstatic in his heart, his little face could not hide his joy, he didn't care about the injuries in his body, he immediately knelt down with his legs bent, and thanked him again and again, "The student is grateful for the gift of Lord Dazai, and the student is willing to serve the adult. ”

Wang Shi is a commoner, born in a remote mountain village, since he was a child, he has not had enough to eat, he has not dressed warmly, because of his poor childhood, so Wang Shi longs from the bottom of his heart to one day be able to get rid of the identity of a citizen and become a nobleman, and now, his wish is about to come true, how can he not be ecstatic.

Jiang Zi'an waved his hand and asked Wang Shi to retreat first.

"Hehe, Dazai-sama, you're really generous to your subordinates. On the seat on the right, Cheng Yu, the envoy of the Liang State, took a sip of tea and said to Jiang Zi'an, "I don't know if Dazai-sama still remembers the agreement between us?"

Hearing this, Jiang Zi'an's face moved slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Lord Cheng Yu, you relax, I will never forget the agreement between us." As long as you help me ascend to the throne of Jiang, I will naturally cede the Boundary Mountain and the Armored Iron Ore to you. ”

After saying this, Jiang Zi'an stood up, clasped his hands, and continued, "In addition, I also want to hope that Lord Cheng Yu can make a statement to King Liang on my behalf, and after I take the throne, I, Jiang Guo, am willing to bow down to Liang State, and I am willing to pay a hundred taels of gold to Liang State every year to prove my courtier's heart." ”

Hearing Jiang Zi'an's words, Cheng Yuxin smiled and said, "Haha, Lord Dazai, if you are so sincere, I will naturally return to my king on your behalf." Two months ago, my king personally repaired a book to you King Jiang, hoping that the two countries could cooperate and mine the armor ore in the border mountains together, but your King Jiang didn't give me any face, and categorically rejected my king's request, I really don't know what to do. ”

"Our King Jiang has always been stubborn, when we received King Liang's repair book, I have repeatedly advised King Jiang to give the armor iron ore of the border mountain to Liang State, in exchange for friendship with Liang State, however, King Jiang is unwilling to adopt my suggestion, resolutely oppose this matter, this is the good will of King Liang. Jiang Zi'an explained, putting all the responsibility on King Jiang.

Hearing this, Cheng Yu smiled lightly and said, "Hmph, it is precisely because King Jiang does not know how to lift up, so we want to support Dazai-sama to become the new king of Jiang Kingdom." ”

"Lord Cheng Yu, please convey to King Liang on my behalf that after I, Jiang Zi'an, ascend to the throne, Jiang Guo is willing to be loyal to Liang State forever. Jiang Zi'an bowed his head and said sincerely.

"Okay, I'll definitely convey Dazai-sama's meaning, no, it's King Jiang. Cheng Yu stood up and raised his hand to reply.

At this time, Huang Zheng, the envoy of Rongguo, also stood up and said to Jiang Zi'an, "I am also here to congratulate Lord Dazai in advance, no, King Jiang, there is a way for good birds to choose trees to perch on, and if they can make friends with Liang State, then Jiang Guo will have a backer in the eastern territory in the future." ”

"Hahaha, thank you to the two envoys first, but it's still too early to talk about the throne. Slowly recovering from the joy, Jiang Zi'an sat back in his chair, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The most critical step in the whole plan is to start troops tomorrow and force King Jiang to abdicate." Before the big thing happens, I'd better be careful. ”

People, the more successful the last step, the more excited the mood will become, often at such times, people are easily carried away by joy and lose their minds. Jiang Zi'an has endured for more than 30 years in order to seek the throne of Jiang, but when he is only one step away from success, he is surprisingly calm, which shows Jiang Zi'an's calmness.

Jiang Zi'an sat upright, and after pondering a little in his heart, he immediately ordered and said, "Feng Gang, Feng Quan, Zheng Yan, the three of them stepped forward to listen to the order." ”

The shouting fell, and the three cronies below immediately stepped forward to obey the order, these three people are all the commanders of the city protection army, and their strength is above Yueyao, they have followed Jiang Zi'an for ten years, and they have won Jiang Zi'an's trust, this time they are secretly following Jiang Zi'an to come to the Mountain of No Return.

"The last general, obey the orders of the lords!" the three of them clasped hands and said in unison.

"Tomorrow I will raise troops and achieve great things. Now I have three things for you to do, the first thing is to transfer troops. Feng Gang, you can leave tonight, take my general order, mobilize 5,000 city guards, come to the Mountain of No Return, you must be fast, you must arrive at the Mountain of No Return before sunset tomorrow. Remember, this matter must be kept secret and careful, don't alarm others, for fear of accidents, especially Xiangguo Yan Hao, he and Liu Chen have always been loyal to King Jiang, if he learns that I sent a city guard to come to the mountain of no return, he will definitely be suspicious. With that, Jiang Zi'an took out the city guard from his sleeve and handed over the order to Feng Gang. No.3 Chinese Network .

Feng Gang took the general's order, and immediately responded, "The last general has an order." ”

Jiang Zi'an nodded slightly, and continued to order, "The second thing, Feng Quan, you take the Red Horse Army Talisman, and notify the commander of the Red Horse Army stationed at the foot of the Mountain of No Return overnight, and order him to lead three thousand soldiers back to the Red Horse Army camp early tomorrow morning, and there must be no mistake." If he asks why, he will say that it is the king's order to take over the Red Horse army to defend the mountain of no return. ”

"Yes. Feng Quan also took the Red Horse Army Talisman and received the order.

After ordering the first two things, Jiang Zi'an moved his gaze to Zheng Yan who was standing below, at this time, his gaze suddenly gave birth to a chill, and a touch of solemnity passed over his face, which showed that this last entrusted thing was very important.

Jiang Zi'an looked at Zheng Yan and said slowly, "Zheng Yan, you are the strongest among my generals. This last thing can only be relieved if I entrust it to you. ”

"Please let your lord give orders, and he will never give up. Zheng Yan raised his dark eyes and looked at Jiang Zi'an on the high seat, his eyes were as resolute as iron, and he replied in a condensed voice.

"Early tomorrow morning, Liu Chen will be escorted back to the national capital. This third thing, I want you to kill Liu Chen on the way back to the capital. Jiang Zi'an's face turned cold, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice.

"Kill Liu Chen!"

"You don't have to worry, Liu Chen has been locked by the armor iron chain, this armor iron chain was specially given to me by Mr. An Shice, specially used to lock Liu Chen, it is said that this armor iron chain is dozens of skilled craftsmen, it took half a year to create, the purity of the armor is as high as seventy percent, no matter how strong he Liu Chen is, he will definitely not be able to break free. Seeing that Zheng Yan's face was a little frightened, Jiang Zi'an immediately said comfortingly.

Armor iron is the hardest metal in the mainland, the iron weapons made of armor iron, the higher the purity of the armor iron, the stronger the iron, but, because the armor iron is very hard, not easy to calcin, so it is also very difficult to refine armor iron, in the general iron weapons, the purity of armor iron can have 30%, it is already 10 times harder than ordinary iron, and the purity of up to 70% of the iron can be said to be rare in the world.

Hearing this, Zheng Yan's face was delighted, and his confidence suddenly doubled, and he responded, "Liu Chen is locked by armor, it's like having no hands and feet." Please rest assured, Dazai-sama, the last general will definitely be able to kill Liu Chen. ”

"Zheng Yan, if you can kill Liu Chen, you will be the first merit, and after the deed is completed, I will crown you as the general of Jiang Guo. Jiang Zi'an rewarded him and said.

Hearing this, Zheng Yan was ecstatic, and the ** who wanted to kill Liu Chen in his heart became even stronger, and said, "Thank you, my lord, I will kill Liu Chen in the end." ”

After ordering the three things, Jiang Zi'an exhaled slowly, and said in a positive voice, "After everything is ready, you can raise troops tomorrow, and the time for raising troops will be set after the end of the eight-man battle." If nothing else, Jiang Guo should lose tomorrow's eight-man battle, and then I will blame King Jiang and force him to abdicate on the grounds of losing the exam and causing the border land to lose to other countries. If he didn't agree, then he would have to kill King Jiang. ”

"Lord Dazai, if King Jiang is dead, how can we explain it to the ministers and the people?" Zheng Yan asked with some concern.

"Hmph, it's not difficult. Once King Jiang died, we can claim to the outside world that King Jiang died violently because he lost the competition, and died violently in a moment of anger. And General Liu Chen, loyal to the king, was willing to be martyred for King Jiang, drew a knife and committed suicide. Jiang Zi'an said coldly, the reason is reasonable, which shows that Jiang Zi'an is thoughtful.

Hearing this, Zheng Yan couldn't help but nod convincingly.

Jiang Zi'an's reason for compiling not only explained the death of King Jiang, but also became reasonable together with the death of General Liu Chen, and more importantly, Jiang Zi'an put all the responsibility of ceding the border mountain and the armored iron ore to King Jiang.

"Alright, you can do as you are told. After speaking, Jiang Zi'an raised his hand and waved his hand and said to the three cronies.

"Obey the command, and the last will set out. ”

After that, Feng Gang, Feng Quan, and Zheng Yan each took their orders and left.

At this time, Su Buying, who had been sitting at the back, had her beautiful eyes flickering slightly, and then smiled and said, "Dazai-sama, you are calm and thoughtful, which is really admirable." ”

"Hehe, Miss Buying praised it. All this is thanks to the good strategy of Mr. Anseze. ”
