Chapter 276: Tied Hands?
And the real grain and grass were escorted away by Rongzhi. Rong Zhi left Wangling Pass alone, so naturally he couldn't attract the attention of others, and he walked silently.
But even if Rong Zhi's martial arts are strong, it is impossible for him to escort so much grain and grass alone. If hundreds of people are transferred from Xizhou, it will inevitably alarm others.
"I don't know if General Cao remembers that the day before His Highness entered the city, he was ambushed by traitors?"
Vice General Cao nodded, "Then I also went with General Ke to rescue the driver, and I know about it." Now, it seems that those people were not necessarily rebels. It's An Huai's private army."
"Rebels or tribes. It's just that the idea, how can he be the opponent of His Highness and General Xu. Your Highness was actually prepared for that day. There weren't so many soldiers injured at all. His Highness had already anticipated the changes in the city, so he ordered these soldiers to hide outside while the time came."
Vice General Cao nodded, "I see, Your Highness is really far-sighted."
"How's the real grain and grass?" Vice General Cao asked.
"The transfer has been successful. I left hundreds of people to watch over the hands, and asked General Cao to lead the troops to escort them, and I will go to help His Highness first."
"Okay." Vice General Cao nodded and did not hesitate.
Although the situation on the eldest princess's side is outnumbered, it is nothing to the eldest princess.
Now that General Ke is not here, he can't be negligent in the slightest when he escorts grain and grass.
In Wangling Pass, An Huai's men and horses arrived first.
Liujin looked at An Huai, who was dressed in a military uniform and menacing, her usually gentle eyebrows were dyed fierce, "General An, why are you here, Your Highness?"
"The eldest princess listened to Rong Zhi's slander, intending to rebel and self-reliance, colluding with Xirong, and she would be arrested before she could tie her hands quickly." After An Huai's words were finished, the soldiers who came with him drew their swords one after another, and he raised his hand before everyone put down their swords.
"Nonsense." Liujin raised his eyebrows, not afraid at all, "General An, slandering the princess without any evidence, this is to punish the nine clans."
Although she said this to An Huai, her eyes swept over the soldiers behind him.
An Huai collaborated with the enemy, and when Xirong entered the customs, all his excuses could not stand. He did not come to seize the city, but to kill the guards of Wangling Pass and make Xirong enter the pass.
And the reason why he didn't directly lead the troops into the city was because he had no way to completely control the soldiers behind him.
They may kill the enemy at An Huai's first order, but when they attack their own people, they will hesitate, especially if the person he attacks is Li Sheng. If he enters directly, he can directly stop people outside Wangling Pass. Yu Rin said that although she was not as eloquent as Rong Zhi and Zhan Qirui, she was also sixty percent sure that she would rebel against the soldiers behind An Huai.
He came to entangle with Liujin, the purpose was to make her "stubbornly resist", and he justifiably created chaos.
I have to say that although An Huai is reckless, he can be described as thoughtful when planning the situation.
These words are mainly for the soldiers behind An Huai.
"The eldest princess led her troops to attack the grain road, and the evidence is ironclad. What else is there to say. Stay this girl, remember your merits, and be captured, maybe you can still have a life." An Huai held the hilt of the knife.
"General An, Your Highness and you stayed in Xizhou, among the five thousand soldiers, almost all of them were your personal entourage, and almost all of His Highness's people were in Wangling Pass. You said that Your Highness's troops attacked the grain road, do you want me to count the number of soldiers? Check the number of people?"
"The eldest princess is dispatching the Xizhou guards."
"In that case, why didn't you stop Your Highness from sending troops in the first place?" With a contemptuous gaze, she raised her chin, "Did you deliberately let her attack the grain road?"
"The eldest princess rushed to the army, I didn't react in a hurry, and I suddenly heard that Xirong was pressing the formation, how could I react in a hurry? If you are not inside, how can you get outside? Stay in the present girl, you have also fought and killed the enemy, and now that the foreign enemy is pressing, you can be captured, and the soldiers are united, but you can also unite with the outside world."
When he heard this, he smiled, "In that case, then I will tie my hands and arrest it, and when I repel the foreign enemy, I will have a good discussion with you."
After Liujin finished speaking, he spread his hands.
An Huai:
「……」
It shouldn't be, according to Liujin's maintenance of Li Sheng's attack, at this time, how could she be restrained, shouldn't she resist desperately?
If she is caught, he has no excuse to fight. If they can't fight and consume their troops, how can they enter Wangling Pass when the Xirong soldiers are overwhelmed?
If he directly asked someone to open the city gate and let the Xijon people in, he was afraid that before the city gate was opened, his head would be cut open by the soldiers around him.
Stay here with a smile, like a spring breeze, but under the gentle gaze, there is the winter frost that has not faded.
"I am now restrained, which shows my sincerity, but I am good, Your Highness, and you can't kill us until there is actual evidence. I also asked General An to send me to prison in order to stabilize the morale of the army and jointly fight against foreign enemies. It also allowed me to prove my innocence."
She stands calmly, without the slightest panic and fear, with a noble bearing, taking into account the overall situation, how can she be like a rebellious minister and thief who intends to rebel? Clear and frank to the extreme.
At this point, if An Huai let her go to prison, he would have no way to continue the next step. But if he is not allowed to go to prison, then it is impossible to say. He was in a dilemma, and there was no way out.
Of course, An Huai has been stationed at Wangling Pass for a long time, and he can't be without manpower in Wangling Pass.
The next moment, a feather arrow shot out from behind Liujin, who was slightly startled, but he was mentally prepared.
"Bold, you have clever words to confuse us." After An Huai finished speaking, he stepped forward with a knife, and the speed of staying here was also fast, and he quickly pulled out the sword of the soldier next to him, and started to move with An Huai.
The soldiers on both sides trembled and exchanged words.
Liujin's eyebrows are deep, General Ke has not yet arrived, for the sake of today's plan, he can only try his best to capture An Huai, capture the thief and capture the king, and at that time, he can still control the situation.
If you talk about martial arts, An Huai has been on the battlefield for a long time, although it is not as good as Li Shengxi, Mu Jing and others, but it is definitely far above the present. Although Liujin can also do martial arts, and his martial arts are not weak, it is difficult to compete with a fierce general like An Huai.
However, after a few hundred rounds, he has already fallen behind.
Liujin gritted his teeth and held on, An Huai swung his knife up, and when he was about to fall, his arm was shot by a feather arrow.
Liujin took advantage of the situation to dodge, raised the long sword in his right hand, and stabbed An Huai's waist.
An Huai hurriedly dodged, he looked up and saw that Ke Yongzhao led the army into the city gate, like a bamboo.
"How is that possible?" He privately raised a team of troops, and ambushed Ke Yongzhao on the way to Wangling Pass, and poisoned Ke Yongzhao's kettle before, how could Ke Yongzhao be alive and arrive at Wangling Pass so quickly.
