Chapter 552: Defeat the Hu people
This was not his usual style of acting at all, so Liu An immediately understood that even if what the eldest prince said was not true, then Qin Yue must be brewing some other conspiracy.
In the spirit of believing that he would not be able to believe what he had and what he did not, he immediately instructed his cronies to go everywhere and give orders to make these people pretend to be drunk and unconscious.
Liu An is the general here, and he himself is very sympathetic to his subordinates, so the soldiers respect him very much, let him give an order, these people will definitely obey without hesitation!
In addition, Qin Yue and the others trusted their plan very much, and they didn't look at it at all, so their plan was so smooth.
"So what? Anyway, now that the Hu people are about to attack, none of you can escape. β
Qin Yue, who had been exposed to the treacherous scheme, was not afraid, but sneered.
"Qin Yue, then you are underestimating this palace too much."
With a soft voice, Yin Jingrui, who was dressed in military uniform, walked over from the darkness.
He was tall, as if he was walking leisurely, but there was a momentum around him that was not angry and arrogant.
"Now that this palace already knows about your conspiracy, how can you sit idly by like this? Do you really think that the Hu people can make a successful sneak attack tonight? β
He looked at Qin Yue with a smile, and the sarcasm in his eyes was obvious.
At this moment, Qin Yue felt scared, he looked at Yin Jingrui in a panic, and said, "You are talking nonsense, you ......"
Not wanting to see his dying struggle, Yin Jingrui suddenly raised his voice and said, "Liu Anhe Lin listens to orders!" β
"The last general!"
Intimidated by his momentum, Liu An and He Lin immediately stepped forward and bowed down to wait for orders.
"Liu An, you immediately gather all the soldiers and horses, set up an ambush at the gate, and just wait for the Hu people to enter the pass, and then lead people to encircle and suppress them, understand?"
"Yes, the last general commands."
"He Lin, this palace orders you, immediately lead 50,000 elite soldiers to make a detour out of the pass, and set up an ambush on the back road of the Hu people's retreat, whether you live or die, but you must clear all the Hu people, can you do it?"
"Your Highness, rest assured, unless He Lin is killed in battle, he will never let any Hu people escape."
After making some arrangements, He Lin and Liu An immediately took people down to make arrangements, and Qin Yue was already looking at each other with a pale face.
He is also a veteran of soldiers, of course, he also saw that Yin Jingrui was experienced and treacherous, but he was afraid that he was ashamed of himself.
But how is this possible? He's obviously a powerless prince, and he's never been in contact with any of this.
"Take them down first and keep them guarded." Yin Jingrui commanded, because there were still many things waiting for his idea, and once he left immediately.
The sound of fighting outside rang all night, and by the time dawn was bloodied, corpses lying on the ground one by one.
However, most of them are naturally the corpses of the Hu people.
Because they were defenseless, they were caught off guard by the soldiers of Tatsu Kingdom.
By the time they reacted, the tide had turned, and they could only flee in a hurry......
When He Lin, who had been sent out to set up an ambush, returned, everyone counted the battlefield and found that 70,000 Hu people had been annihilated, and as many as 100,000 had been captured.
The casualties of the Tatsu Kingdom were five thousand, and the number of dead was less than a thousand.
This is simply a miracle that has never been seen before, for a while, Yin Jingrui was rumored to be a god-like existence by everyone.
"Your Highness, what should we do with these captives this time?" In the military tent, He Lin said happily.
"Killed." Yin Jingrui said lightly.
He Lin thought he had misheard, and couldn't help but ask, "What?" β
"Kill them all." Yin Jingrui repeated it again.
"Your Highness, isn't that okay?" Liu An on the side hesitated.
Since ancient times, the torture and killing of prisoners of war have been something that only some cold-blooded and cruel generals do, and Liu An naturally disagrees with this practice.
What's more, it wasn't a few thousand prisoners of war, but as many as 100,000, and killing them all like this would leave a legacy of infamy......
The rest of the generals also began to intercede for him, "That's it, Your Highness, that's 180,000 people?" If you kill them allβ"
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a way that those who achieve great things are not informal, since these Hu people dare to violate the realm, they should be ready to be killed."
"But Your Highness, after all, they are prisoners and have no ability to resist, and if we do this, we will inevitably lose the demeanor of a great country......"
"General Liu, then let me ask if I hadn't discovered the conspiracy of Qin Yue and the Hu people in advance last night, what would have been the situation for our soldiers to drink the wine mixed with sweat medicine?"
Yin Jingrui didn't get angry, but asked coldly.
Liu An thought down his train of thought and was silent.
"At that time, how different were our soldiers from these captives? But will they show mercy to our soldiers, and will they think of you as behaving and humane? β
His series of questions made Liu An blush, and he knelt down heavily.
"Your Highness's lesson is that the last general will know his mistakes!"
"Okay, General Liu, I understand that you are kind-hearted, but this time, since it is the Hu people who calculate us first, if we don't be ruthless and deter them once, they will only get worse in the future!"
"Yes, my subordinates understand!"
"Okay, in that case, then do as I tell you!"
In this way, 100,000 captives were all killed en masse.
At this point, the 200,000 troops gathered by the Hu people were almost wiped out by the Chen army.
When the news reached He Lianfeng's mansion, He Lianfeng suddenly sat down in his chair.
His plan failed!
Such a perfect strategy still failed to get rid of that fool, but made him rebel against the army and made such a great contribution......
Helian Feng was so stunned that he couldn't wait to spit out a mouthful of blood.
This time, in order to get rid of Yin Jingrui, he can be said to have made a bloody investment.
When his plan failed that day, he planned to use his defeated image to confuse the other party, and even did not hesitate to marry his daughter to Yin Jingrui.
And he secretly sent someone to secretly contact the Hu people, and asked them to lead their troops to surround Yinshan Pass, pretending to attack.
In fact, the Hu people suffered from a snowstorm in winter, and the clansmen were dying of starvation, so how could they still have the ability to attack the Chen Kingdom, and Helian Feng did not want them to attack.
He just needed a reason to lure Yin Jingrui to the outside of the border, and then put the charge of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country and attempting to rebel and usurp the throne on his head.
Therefore, with a reward of 500,000 loads of grain, he finally reached this agreement with the Hu people.
The Hu people pretended to attack, but he secretly forged a lot of letters between Yin Jingrui and the Hu people, and then asked Qin Yue and others to deliberately delay the time for Yin Jingrui to attack, just to make people think that he had colluded with the Hu people, so he didn't want to lead troops to destroy the Hu people.
Then after Qin Yue deliberately won a small victory, after intoxicating everyone, privately letting Hu people enter the customs, and letting Hu people burn and loot in the pass, he pushed this matter on Yin Jingrui's head, so under the boiling of public resentment, Yin Jingrui could not escape death.
But who is going to tell him now why such a thing happened with such a wonderful arrangement? At what point did the problem go wrong?
And according to the news he got, now Yin Jingrui has taken Qin Yue and the others into custody, and he will return to Beijing in the near future, if he lets Qin Yue appear in front of the emperor at that time, then he will be finished.
Therefore, Helian Feng immediately made a decision and sent his killers, asking them to kill Qin Yue and the others, so as not to tell any unfavorable testimony to him at that time.
And he hurried to deal with the aftermath.
