Chapter 64: Li Hao withdraws
Wei Xiaobao quickly slapped Zhao Xun a few times, and Zhao Xun, who was in pain, suddenly quieted down.
He huddled tightly in his mother's arms and looked at Wei Xiaobao quietly, his eyes full of fear.
Zhao Yuanchun stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Wei, can you take a step to speak?" ”
"Lord Zhao, please." Wei Xiaobao stretched out his hand and pointed outside the courtyard.
When the two came to the outside of the hospital, Wei Xiaobao looked at Zhao Yuanchun with a smile, and at this moment, Zhao Yuanchun was still hesitating.
Now that the lives of the family are in Wei Xiaobao's hands, I really don't know what Zhao Yuanchun is still hesitating about.
Does he think Li Hao will win?
In the power struggle, it is necessary to take sides, and to make a choice, it must be deliberate.
It's a big gamble, and once you get on the wrong side, it's a recipe for disaster.
"Lord Wei, we can't win." Zhao Yuanchun took a deep breath and slowly spoke.
Wei Xiaobao laughed and said, "So you betrayed Your Majesty and chose to take refuge in Li Hao?" ”
"Alas, I'm also thinking about the lives of my family." Zhao Yuanchun was also very helpless.
Things were done very secretly, but I don't know where this eunuch got the news?
Just wait a few more days, Li Hao's army will break through Chang'an, kill Li Zheng, and seize the throne, and he Zhao Yuanchun will also be promoted to the secretary of the military department.
Wei Xiaobao reminded with a smile: "Maybe Li Hao will win, but now, as long as I give an order, those people inside will be in different places." ”
"I know." Zhao Yuanchun's face was full of sadness.
Wei Xiaobao said: "I'll give you a cup of tea." ”
"King Qin gave the whole plan a very vivid name, called Thin Water Long Stream." Zhao Yuanchun's face at the moment was full of admiration for Li Hao.
A trickle of water?
No matter how thin the water is, as long as it does not stop flowing for a long time, it can also converge into a vast ocean.
Taken literally, Li Hao's plan is to divide first and then merge.
However, Wei Xiaobao was too lazy to guess, and said coldly: "Then what?" ”
"In just the past few days, thousands of elite soldiers have entered the city disguised as ordinary people." Zhao Yuanchun said and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Wei Xiaobao smiled and asked, "Did Lord Zhao place them?" ”
Zhao Yuanchun nodded slightly.
Every day, Li Hao's elite soldiers will enter Chang'an City dressed as ordinary people, and Zhao Yuanchun is responsible for placing them and equipping them with good weapons, and when Li Hao really attacks the city, these elite soldiers will definitely play a decisive role.
Zhao Yuanchun, as a squire of the military department, is easy to do.
As long as Li Hao can ambush 10,000 elite soldiers in Chang'an City, when the war starts, these 10,000 elite soldiers can easily break through a city gate and let Li Hao's army drive straight in.
"Lord Wei, the lower official is just confused for a while, please ......" Zhao Yuanchun knew that this official could not be done, so he thought about bribing Wei Xiaobao so that he could protect the family.
Wei Xiaobao waved his hand and said, "Lord Zhao doesn't have to open his mouth." ”
Zhao Yuanchun's face twitched, and Wei Xiaobao's words sent chills down his spine.
Wei Xiaobao called Wei Qi out and said in a deep voice: "Kill." ”
"All?" Wei Qi was stunned.
Wei Xiaobao said coldly: "If you don't kill chickens, how can you set an example for monkeys?" ”
"Yes." Wei Qi drew his sword and returned to the courtyard, where screams soon rang out.
Zhao Yuanchun rushed to the door, just saw his favorite concubine and his son lying in a pool of blood, his eyes were bloodshot, he pulled out a dagger from his waist, rushed towards Wei Xiaobao, and roared angrily: "You gelding, Lao Tzu fought with you." ”
Wei Xiaobao turned around, went around to Zhao Yuanchun's left side, grabbed Zhao Yuanchun's neck, and pinched it gently.
The sound of bones shattering is particularly pleasant.
Wei Xiaobao threw Zhao Yuanchun's body into the courtyard with his hand and strode away.
When Wei Qi and the others pulled out the Zhao Mansion, the fire in the mansion was monstrous, and the smoke was like a cloud.
All the people in the vicinity were alarmed.
Zhaofu was slaughtered by Dongchang, and the incident soon caused a sensation in Chang'an.
But in the mouths of those storytellers, Zhao Yuanchun was said to be a devil who colluded with Li Hao and wanted to slaughter the people of Chang'an.
When the people of Chang'an talked about this matter, they would give a thumbs up and praise Dongchang for finding the traitor in time and resolving a disaster.
When the people passed these stories from mouth to mouth, Di Qing personally led people to raid Zhao Yuanchun's Lotte Fang, where Li Hao's personal soldiers were placed, and wiped out thousands of elite soldiers.
In Chang'an City, there are many spies inserted by Li Hao, and they try all kinds of ways to send news to Li Hao.
Upon learning of this, Li Hao was furious and directly overturned the table, and all the wine and food on the table were scattered on the ground.
Several generals in the camp tent all put down their chopsticks and got up to look at Li Hao.
Li Hao was wearing a purple robe, and the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, clenching his fists loudly.
If someone suddenly destroys the water source, it will not flow for a long time.
After many days of waiting, in exchange for such a result, Li Hao was really indignant.
Thinking that the person who ruined this plan was still a eunuch, the anger in his heart rose even more.
On Li Hao's left side, there was an old man with a gray beard, who looked mighty, but because of a black mole on the tip of his nose, this might turned into funny in an instant.
This person is the tiger general Lin Zhiyuan.
When Li Hao's anger subsided a little, Lin Zhiyuan clenched his fists and said: "Lord Wang, for today's plan, there is only a strong attack." ”
The longer it drags on, the worse it is for them.
After all, under the banner of rescuing the envoys of the Three Kingdoms, if they delay their efforts, they will only become a joke of the world.
Li Hao frowned and said: "After Dillon's rebellion, the two sides are evenly matched, and the other party occupies Chang'an City, if you attack it, what are the chances of winning?" ”
"If you don't attack, you can only return to Ziyang City, recuperate, and wait for a good opportunity." Lin Zhiyuan proposed another way.
Ziyang City is located at the border pass, bordering Western Chu and close to the Northern Yuan, and can get the most robust war horses of the two countries.
It only needs to develop in Ziyang City for a few years, and when the Great Wei national strength is weaker, it will definitely succeed if it conquers Chang'an again.
The rest of the generals all lowered their heads, thinking about Lin Zhiyuan's suggestion.
Following Lin Zhiyuan's proposal is also a gamble, firstly, they are betting that they can grow rapidly in Ziyang City, and secondly, they are betting that the Great Wei Empire will definitely decline.
In fact, this is essentially no different from attacking Chang'an City now.
However, it would be good if you could set up another country name in Ziyang City, at least it would ensure that everyone could live a stable life for a few years.
They first followed Lin Zhiyuan, and then followed Li Hao, fighting year after year, and the days they spent with their families were really rare.
Fortunately, their family members are not in Chang'an, otherwise, Li Hao would never trust them.
Li Hao silently walked out of the camp tent and looked at Chang'an, with tears in his eyes.
The generals followed, but there was no war in their eyes.
Li Hao could see that these guys didn't want to fight, Li Zheng had occupied a favorable position, and his own side had lost people, and the chances of winning this battle were less than thirty percent.
Even if you are unwilling, you can make the right decision.
"Back to Ziyang." Li Hao turned around suddenly.
The generals did not dare to show any joy.
The news of the withdrawal of Li Hao's army soon spread throughout Chang'an.
The people cheered as if it were the New Year.
Di Qing was worried.
Li Zheng's mood improved significantly, but he still asked suspiciously: "Why did Li Hao withdraw from the army?" ”
