Chapter 920: King Zhou's Death
"Lord Tongzhi, the dead have already mixed in with Adu's men and horses. And that Akmu, wait for them to fight......" In the night, Ye'an quietly came to Ma Ye's side, and gently made a swiping motion on his neck with his thumb.
Ma Ye nodded, he was sitting in the city tower, but in fact, the heart in his chest was pounding nervously. Tonight, it was his desperate fight, in order to achieve the goal of killing Zhu Su, he risked sending twenty-one henchmen to the outside of the city in hanging baskets, and through the relationship of Akmu, mixed into Adu's men and horses.
In the eyes of people like Ma Ye, these Tusi tribes in the southwestern borderlands are no different from ignorant barbarians. He naturally didn't think that with Adu's ability, he would be able to kill Zhu Su, the king of Zhou. Instead of trusting others, he prefers to believe in himself.
As long as Adu successfully attacked Shuidong at night, twenty of these twenty dead soldiers would naturally blend into the Shuidong stockade, create chaos, and then take advantage of the chaos to assassinate Zhu Su, the king of Zhou......
He knew that in order not to arouse the vigilance of Shuidong, Zhu Su, the king of Zhou, left most of his men in this Guiyang City, and there were only more than ten people around him. His twenty dead soldiers assassinated the king of Zhou, which was more than enough.
The move of sending out twenty dead soldiers was very risky, and it was likely to be discovered by Di Meng, the commander of Zhou Wangwei, who was staring at him. But it doesn't matter anymore, as long as the news comes, this Di Meng will inevitably be in chaos.
As soon as King Zhou died, this dirty water naturally splashed on Shuixi's body. At that time, it will be too late for this Di Meng to crusade against Shuixi with himself, so how can he have the leisure to worry about the lack of twenty-one subordinates on his side?
Even if King Zhou didn't die...... That's okay. Each of these people sent out was a dead soldier whom he trusted and loyed with great faith. Even if they can't do anything, they will choose to commit suicide by taking poison and will not leave a witness for King Zhou.
He did it very carefully, even the Yi man named Akmu, he specially left a dead soldier by his side, and as soon as the conflict broke out, this dead man would find a way to kill Akmu and completely hide his Ma Ye's instigation of Adu...... Who would believe that he, a Guizhou Wei commander, would incite the head of Shuixi to attack the king of Zhou?
The crime of "Shuixi's assassination of King Zhou" was implemented, and that would be enough.
is enough to prove that what he said is true, and Shuixi is really "the opposite".
The only variable is Zhu Su, the king of Zhou, if this king of Zhou survives, stabilizes the situation again, and investigates the matter thoroughly......
In the days that Di Meng has been watching, Ma Ye has already deeply known that this King of Zhou is not a good person...... If it weren't for this King of Zhou, his plan to force the rebellion against Shuixi would have been realized long ago. Now I won't risk losing my head and do this kind of assassination of the king.
If the situation is stabilized again, he Ma Ye will also run out of donkey skills...... Maybe you will be accused of losing your head.
Thinking of this, Ma Ye's whole body began to tremble slightly.
“…… Acquaintance? His confidant Ye An said worriedly.
"Well, it's fine." Ma Ye said to Ye An, his fists clenched white, but there was a sickly flush on his face.
He was a gambler, a mad gambler. This time in his dying throes, he made a big bet, even betting on his own head.
But this also made him, a natural gambler, feel extremely exciting and excited.
"Let's go, let's get out of town." Ma Ye slowly propped up his knees and stood up.
"Is it death, or is it soaring...... It's up to today. A strange, distorted smile appeared on his face.
……
"What? Guizhou Wei actually assembled at the West Gate? Di Meng was in the city, dispatching to monitor Ma Ye's command, and he couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard the news that Ma Ye was gathering people.
He hurried to the west gate of Guiyang City, and just saw that Ma Ye was leading a large group of Guizhou guards and soldiers, posing as if he was going out of the city.
"Ma Tongzhi!" Di Meng panicked and hurriedly stopped Ma Ye. "I don't know what I want to do when I know that the troops will be gathered here in the middle of the night?"
"Oh, General Di." Ma Ye sat on the horse, his face was serious. "Gathering a large army at the city gate, it is natural to go out of the city to kill the enemy, and the general will defend the city here......"
When Di Meng heard this, his face turned pale, and he said: "When His Royal Highness is about to leave the city, he instructs Tongzhi and a certain person to guard the city and not leave without permission. Now Tongzhi wants me to guard the city here, and go out of the city myself...... Isn't it to disobey His Highness's command? ”
"You and others are all my Ming officers and soldiers, and you dare to ignore the orders of His Royal Highness! Scattered, scattered, scattered"
The most important order Di Meng received was to restrain Ma Ye and his Ming officers and soldiers from going out of the city to attack Shuixi.
His Royal Highness let himself watch Ma Ye closely, just to prevent him from jumping off the wall in such a hurry. Can he allow Ma Ye to go out of the city?
"General Di is not ...... Still don't know? Ma Ye was stunned for a moment, and then showed a sudden expression, and he said with grief on his face: "Shuixi thief, just attacked Shuidong Village at night, and in Shuidong Village, there is already a war. Only then did a letter report that His Royal Highness King Zhou might have ......"
"What...... What? Di Meng was stunned and couldn't believe it: "You said that His Highness ...... him."
"I don't want to believe that something has happened to Your Highness." Ma Ye said solemnly. "But Shuixi attacked His Highness, and the news of this matter is conclusive!"
"I am the commander of Guizhou Wei, and I heard that His Royal Highness King Zhou is in trouble, and An Neng will not lead the troops to help?"
"General Di and stay here for a while, Ma went to save His Highness and went back."
As soon as he finished speaking, on the city tower, the winch sounded, and the heavy gate of Guiyang City opened. Ma Ye raised his arms and shouted: "Erlang, and now His Royal Highness King Zhou is in prison, we are waiting for the Ming soldiers, can An see that my Prince of the Ming Dynasty is in the hands of the enemy and not save him?" ”
"You and others, go with me Ma Ye, rescue His Highness, and make immortal contributions together!"
"Sun, Moon, River and Mountain!" The Guizhou guards are also elite, and with Ma Ye's encouragement, these soldiers burst out in unison with earth-shaking shouts.
"General? This ......" Di Meng's side, a guard of the King of Zhou hurriedly dragged Di Meng, who was still in a daze. "General, Ma Ye is going out of the city......"
"Your Highness, is he really?"
Di Mengfangcai was shocked by the "death" of Zhu Su mentioned by Ma Ye, and the six gods were shocked. Now that I've been dragged by someone, I've finally come to my senses a little.
He knew Zhu Su's ability, the wind and waves had already come, he didn't believe that Zhu Su was really dead, but Ma Ye went out of the city in the name of rescuing Zhu Su, and he didn't dare to really go to stop him.
In case this is true, he will stop Ma Ye and harm His Highness's life......
When Zhu Su came, he only brought more than 1,000 Zhou Wang Wei, and the number of people was far less than the Guizhou Wei and Guizhou avant-garde under the command of Ma Ye. But among these two guards, not everyone is Ma Ye's cronies. Therefore, with the help of the imperial edict and the status of the prince of Zhou's army, Di Meng also has a certain binding force on Guizhou Wei and Guizhou avant-garde.
At least, if he resolutely opposes it, these officers and soldiers of the Second Guard will not honestly listen to Ma Ye's dispatch.
But now, Di Meng didn't dare to stop Ma Ye, Guizhou Wei and Guizhou avant-garde, so it was natural that only the commander knew Ma Ye and looked forward. Di Meng didn't dare to stop Ma Ye, but in case, His Highness was fine, Ma Ye took these two men and horses to attack and kill Shuixi......
"Let's go, let's follow!" Faced with a dilemma, Di Meng had to grit his teeth and give this order that was not an order.
