Chapter 508: Gambling
In addition to fighting openly, the method of killing people naturally comes from the shadow.
How many people's heads in history were inexplicably cut off when they participated in the Hongmen Banquet?
Wang Mi wanted to use this method.
But Liu Cong is not a fool, he has already decided to do something to Wang Mi, how can he risk going to his territory?
So he invited Wang Mi to come over, Wang Mi was already suspicious of Liu Cong, so naturally he wouldn't go.
When they were tug-of-war, Xie Shi, who was playing against them, also noticed an abnormality.
He had to go out of the city to find Zhao Hanzhang in person, "...... Soldiers were frequently deployed, and they did not attack the Imperial City again after noon this day. ”
Zhao Hanzhang frowned, "If Liu Cong doesn't attack, won't Wang Mi attack either?" ”
"Yes."
It shouldn't be, with Wang Mi's IQ, even if he wants to vote for them, he will first make a show to confuse Liu Cong, how can he ......
"...... at noon" Zhao Hanzhang looked at Fu Tinghan.
Fu Tinghan nodded, "It should be not long after General Beigong and their military report came in." ”
Zhao Hanzhang's eyes lit up, "It seems that this trick has worked." ”
Xie Shi was uneasy, "Then what will Liu Cong do?" ”
He said: "Wang Mi has 10,000 troops in the city, and we also have 10,000 troops in it, if I am Liu Cong......
"I will definitely leave quietly," Zhao Hanzhang said: "It is important to save my life." ”
"But the palace is close to being breached, and I will definitely not want to give up," Xie Shi said in a low voice: "Envoy, I am uneasy, Liu Cong and Liu Yao are both Huns, brutal by nature, if you put a fire before leaving......
When Zhao Hanzhang heard this, his expression changed, and he got up and said: "Recruit General Beigong and Xun Xiu to come back, guard the east gate of the city, let Mi Ce be stationed ten miles away from the west city gate, Chen soldiers are ready, pull out the camp, and enter the city!" ”
When Liu Cong and Wang Mi were still in the city, Zhao Hanzhang led the army into the southern city, directly watched the southern gate and occupied the southern city, and at the same time, Beigong Chun and Xun Xiu, who received the news, also entered the city from the east gate and occupied the city gate.
When Liu Cong and Wang Mi received the news, Mi Ce, who was one step behind with grain and grass, was also stationed ten miles outside the West City Gate.
Liu Cong: ......
Wang Mi: ......
At this time, unless Wang Mi mobilized his 30,000 people outside the city, or could immediately attack the palace and take the emperor, they would be trapped and killed by Zhao Hanzhang in Luoyang City.
As soon as Zhao Hanzhang's soldiers and horses entered the city, they looted on a large scale.
Luoyang is now an empty city, and there are only three armies of them except for the people trapped in the palace.
Therefore, Zhao Hanzhang directly ordered a great plunder, sent the plundered farm tools to the outside of the city for the people to cultivate, and the iron tools were sent to the army to be made into farm tools and weapons, and the rest of the wealth was gathered together.
Searching, searching, and some people were found, Zhao Jiajun didn't hurt anyone, and directly sent people and their family property to the outside of the city, whether to leave, or go to the suburbs to farm, it was up to them to choose, anyway, they couldn't stay in the city.
Liu Yao stood upstairs every day and watched Zhao Jiajun shuttling and looting in the streets and alleys, he was so angry that he smashed the table, "If Wang Mi hadn't fought with us, these belongings should have been ours." ”
Liu Cong couldn't help but be disappointed when he saw that he was still thinking about money at this time, "The top priority is to think about how to get out of the city, the three city gates are guarded by her, if we set fire, no one can escape." ”
He wanted to burn Emperor Jin and Zhao Hanzhang and Wang Mi with a fire, but it didn't mean that he was willing to be buried with them.
Liu Cong understood as soon as he saw this arrangement, Zhao Hanzhang was forcing him to leave Luoyang, and deliberately opened an opening for him in the west of the city.
Wang Mi also saw it, his face changed several times, and he felt like he was being forced to calculate.
"Zhao Hanzhang is so sure, I will turn against Liu Cong?"
Xie Shi also said: "Envoy, if Wang Mi does not rebel, our arrangement will be useless, they have 20,000 people in the city, and the streets are narrow, 20,000 people can resist our attack, and there are 30,000 people available outside the city, and they can completely retreat, and we will suffer heavy losses." ”
Zhao Hanzhang: "So it's blocking now, whether to choose Liu Cong, who is already suspicious of him, or to choose the harmless and powerless Jin Emperor in the palace." ”
Xie Shi wanted to speak and stopped, "I'm afraid that he will worry about you." ”
Zhao Hanzhang sighed and said, "Wait for the news." ”
She did everything she had to do, and then it was up to them to choose.
Wang Mi is indeed worried about Zhao Hanzhang, he is worried that he controls Emperor Jin on the front foot, and Zhao Hanzhang will call him on the back foot, wouldn't that be cheaper for her and the Jin family?
His henchmen couldn't stand the tense situation, and couldn't help urging: "General, we must make a decision as soon as possible, the longer this matter drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us, although Zhao Hanzhang is a great enemy, we still have 30,000 soldiers and horses outside." ”
"Yes, this cooperation was mentioned by Zhao Hanzhang again, and it can be fought."
"If you don't make a decision, when Gou Xi arrives, it'll be too late."
Wang Mi then remembered that there was still Gou Xi, Luoyang was trapped, he came late, and he would definitely come, otherwise Emperor Jin would be gone, and it would not be good for him.
Liu Cong is also worried about Gou Xi, and now Zhao Hanzhang has left him a way out, but if Gou Xi comes, he will not leave it for him.
Zhao Hanzhang also told Liu Cong so.
She asked Mitzer to be stationed ten miles outside the western suburbs, and then she wrote to Liu Cong, telling him, "Why should the general fight for this merit with his life? I am soft-hearted, for the sake of His Majesty, I can open a way for the general to live, but when Gou Xi arrives, he may not have such a soft heart. ”
Zhao Hanzhang said clearly: "The general should also see it, at this point, I am not afraid that the general will know that Wang Mi has taken refuge in the Jin Court, if you leave at this time, hello, I am good, everyone." ”
When Liu Cong received the letter, he was so angry that he crumpled the letter, but he had to listen to her advice.
He closed his eyes and said, "Let the army withdraw, take what we have for this time, and leave as soon as it is dawn." ”
"Yes."
And Wang Mi, who was entangled, finally made up his mind, "I have a grudge with Liu Cong and Liu Yao, and I will be angry when I return to Han, so it is better to fight." ”
"Yes!" All the soldiers followed.
The person who was staring at Liu Cong ran back to report, "General, General Liu is transferring troops, and the army against the Zhao family army is retreating." ”
Wang Mi's eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "Liu Cong wants to go, he thinks beautifully, it just so happens that I surrender to the Jin court, in addition to Emperor Jin, I should also give them a gift, then take the heads of Liu Cong and Liu Yao to pay tribute." ”
He sneered and said: "It's just right, to avenge those soldiers who died in battle for no reason a few days ago, I sent an order to Yu Hui, and asked him to go to the West City Gate to prepare, and Liu Cong and they were not allowed to run away alone." ”
"Yes!"
Wang Mi also gave Wang Shou a military order, "Give it to the Zhao family army on the opposite side, and do it to Liu Cong, you can't just Wang Mi contribute, let them share the firepower." ”
"Yes." Wang Shou took the order and left.
Wang Mi immediately ordered, "All arms for war!" ”
Zhao Hanzhang was looking at the direction of the imperial city from a building at this time, it was not dawn at this time, she had just woken up from a nap, and she was anxiously waiting for dawn at this time, and she knew Liu Cong's choice when it was dawn.
