At this time, Xiao Luan, the king of Chu, slowly approached Shangyuan Palace.

Looking at Xiao Heng lying on the ground and already cold, Xiao Luan's heart was also mixed.

"Didn't you say that you would imprison him and force him to abdicate to me after killing Xiao Ju, why kill him, he is my father after all!" Xiao Luan finally broke out at this moment, and couldn't help but question Lu Harshly.

In the face of Xiao Luan's questioning, Lu Ke's fear of facing Xiao Heng for many years turned into anger towards Xiao Luan: "The most ruthless emperor family, when you decide to take this step, you are doomed to Xiao Heng to die." There is no turning back now! ”

Lu Ke looked at Xiao Luan's back, Xiao Luan was trembling at the moment, and then suddenly stopped. turned around and said to Lu Cao: "What is grandpa going to do later?" ”

Lu Cao looked into the distance, and then said slowly: "There should be a result over there in Hefei." ”

At this time, outside Hefei City, Xiao Ju suddenly felt a trance, and a panic for no reason surged into his heart

He was sitting on his horse and watching the battle in the distance, and he almost fell off the horse directly, but fortunately, Wei Ran helped him: "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Ju shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just a little dizzy just now." ”

Wei Ran looked at Xiao Ju carefully and found that there was really nothing wrong, so he didn't pay attention to it. Then he continued to look at the battle ahead: "Zhao Youzhi has retreated again, he has attacked our camp so frequently recently, and he has wanted to break through the encirclement of Hefei City several times, what is the reason?" ”

It was late at night, and a figure suddenly climbed down from the city wall of Hefei City, and then ran straight to the Southern Qi military camp.

At this time, Wei Ran was already resting, and was suddenly woken up by the guards: "County Prince, someone from Hefei City is coming,"

Wei Ran was suddenly awakened, and then repeatedly confirmed: "Are you sure you are from Hefei?" ”

"Don't dare to deceive the county prince, he is indeed from Hefei, he is a member of the Huainan Army who followed Chen Shunzhi to surrender to Northern Qin, someone in the camp knows him, and his humble position has been confirmed."

"Let him in."

Wei Ran sat in the tent, carefully analyzing what the person had just said. It turned out that Hefei City was already short of food, and in addition to the Northern Qin army in Hefei City, there were thousands of Southern Qi soldiers who had surrendered to Northern Qin.

Before Zhao Youzhi kept attacking the camp of Southern Qi, he wanted to kill a supply and transportation line for Hefei, so as not to change the army's mind.

The Southern Qi army was strictly defended all the way, and Zhao Youzhi had no choice. Today, they heard that the Hefei garrison planned to kill the Southern Qi troops in the city, firstly, to save food, and secondly, they were afraid that these Southern Qi troops would cause chaos. The Southern Qi army had no way to do this, and decided on this policy after discussion.

Willing to cooperate with the outside and the inside, open the city gate, and let the Southern Qi army enter the city.

Originally, Wei Ran didn't believe it, but when the person came to take out the head of the traitor Chen Shunzhi, Wei Ran's heart had already begun to waver.

Wei Ran agreed with the man that if he was sure to attack at night, he would raise a fire later.

Then Wei Ran summoned Yangkan Xiaoju, and everyone discussed in the tent.

"Prince, General Yang, time is limited, and there is not much time to verify the authenticity of the news." After Wei Ran briefly explained the matter, he looked at the two of them to see what they thought.

"Zhao Youzhi has been attacking our army camp for several days, if it is a trick to lure the enemy, then the price will be too great." Yang Kan calmly analyzed, and then pointed to the map and said: "Now that the Shouchun army is on the road to Hefei, our army has a geographical advantage, and it is absolutely impossible for the Shouchun army to have time to rescue Hefei." ”

"There is an urn city behind the Hefei city gate, if the vanguard of our army can successfully occupy the urn city after entering the city, even if the enemy army is deceitful, we can calmly advance and retreat. My father's suggestion is to send a fierce general to lead 3,000 warriors into the city, and then raise torches on the city tower, and our army will march into the city again. Wei Ran was still cautious.

Seeing that the two agreed, Wei Ran immediately made arrangements, ordering Yang Hu to lead the three thousand princes and guards to prepare to enter the city first. Wei Ran personally led the army to follow the rear to respond, and when the city tower caught fire, Wei Ran immediately led his troops to kill.

At this time, in the camp of Northern Qin, Yuwenzhi and Zhao Youzhi were drinking each other, and Yuwenzhi was still puzzled at this moment: "According to the plan of the concubine, if Xiao Heng dies, Lu Cao will directly send a funeral trick Wei Ran Xiao Ju back to Jiankang, why do we have to lose this Hefei City?" ”

When Zhao Youzhi heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and then said: "Now that the Southern Qi army has been attacking Hefei for a long time, if they are announced to enter Jiankang at this time, there is no suitable reason. The army is outside, and the lead will be back. This is not something that Xiao Heng's generation of heroes can do. If it was after they captured Hefei, they ordered the army to repair, and Xiao Ju and Wei Ran went back to accept the reward, it would be reasonable. ”

But Zhao Youzhi's plan was not so simple, after the Southern Qi army captured Hefei City, it would inevitably be counterattacked by the Northern Qin army, and Wei Ran had to send heavy troops to garrison Hefei City. Even if Lu Cao's plan failed and he failed to kill Wei Ran in Jiankang City, Wei Ran did not have enough troops to attack Jiankang. When the time comes, the Northern Qin army will encircle Hefei City and trap the elite of the Southern Qi in the city, and Wei Ran's army will not be able to move, so it can only return to Jiangling to mobilize men and horses, and then the civil war of the Southern Dynasties will break out.

After listening to this, Yuwenzhi couldn't help but clap his hands and praise: "The chain plan of the horse is wonderful, trapping the Southern Qi army in Hefei City, even if Wei Ran is killed, Lu Ke will definitely not save it." Xiao Heng is a generation of heroes, and Xiao Ju also has the style of a bright monarch. Now that Xiao Heng is dead, Xiao Ju cannot succeed to the throne, and Xiao Luan is useless. ”

Speaking of this, Yuwen Zhi's whole person became excited, and then grabbed Zhao Youzhi's shoulder and said: "If they kill Wei Ran, then we only need to eat the elite of Nanqi in Hefei, and Nanqi will be greatly injured. If Wei Ran and Xiao Ju were allowed to escape, then the Southern Dynasty would definitely have more civil strife. When the time comes, we will break them one by one. The horses are interlocking, and the little nephew is convinced. ”

Zhao Youzhi really looked gloomy, but kept shaking his head and said: "Although this plan is good, it can't be put on the stage after all." ”

At this time, Yang Hu had already led his army into Hefei and successfully controlled the city. Then according to the plan, a fire was raised on the castle tower.

Seeing this, Wei Ran immediately led a large army to attack Hefei, and the city gate of Hefei was lost under the combination of inside and outside. Lin Xiaokuan, the defender of Hefei in Northern Qin, was shocked, and in a panic, he burned the granary and broke through from the west gate.

The Northern Qin army in the direction of Shouchun saw the flames in the direction of Hefei, and Zhao Youzhi couldn't help laughing: "It's done, come here, lead the army to approach in the direction of Hefei, encounter the symbolic attack of the Southern Qi army, and then retreat." ”

Wei Ran rushed into the city of Hefei, but saw that the defenders of Hefei had no intention of fighting and fled in all directions, Wei Ran did not want to suffer too many casualties, so he ordered the besieging Southern Qi army to release a gap, let most of the Northern Qin army pass, and then follow behind to cover up.

After besieging Hefei for nearly three months, the city of Hefei was broken. The Southern Qi Huainan Army recaptured the city of Hefei.

Standing on top of the Hefei City Tower, Wei Ran was full of spirits: "The army is repairing here and spreading the good news to Jiankang." ”

Yang Kan was also crying silently at this time: "Thanks to the prince and the prince, the old man can return to Hefei in his lifetime." ”

After conquering Hefei, Wei Ran's prestige also reached its peak in the army, Wei Ran's eyes looked to the north from afar, and the next plan was to recover Shouchun, which was garrisoned by his father before.
