Chapter 467, Fu Su Wei! Xiong Qi's real plan! (1w! )
"These things are far-reaching, you just have to decide. It's not convenient for you to live with a few of them anymore these days. After the old Donghuang and the Northern Immortal have arrived, let them go back and prepare. Xunzi said.
"Yes." Ziyou said.
"These days, there are hundreds of schools in Xianyang, and the personnel are mixed, so you have to be more careful." Xunzi said to Ziyou.
Ziyou was stunned for a moment, but still said with a smile
"I wish they could jump out, it would save me a lot of effort."
Xunzi just smiled and didn't speak, and then Xunzi left the Wangshi Mansion and went to the Great Qin Academy. Xunzi still has the name of the Great Qin School Palace's sacrificial wine, he can't say it if he doesn't take a look, and the Confucian disciples brought by Xunzi also followed, only Fu Nian and Yan Lu stayed.
"Senior brother, you still have to pay more attention to your uncle's words, I heard some news in Qi Kingdom." Fu Nian said.
"What's the news?" Ziyou and Yan Lu asked curiously.
The two of them had already left Xiao Shengxian Village for a long time, needless to say Ziyou, and Yan Lu was sent by Confucianism to be in charge of Confucianism's affairs in the Great Qin Xue Palace, so the two of them were not clear about the affairs of Qi Guo.
"There is a prince in the Qi royal family, named Tian Zhan, who has been very close to Gu Liangru recently, and some people have seen his disciples in frequent contact with the Zhang family." Fu Nian said.
Hearing Fu Nian's words, Ziyou remembered in his mind who Tian Zhan was, one of the people who raised the anti-Qin banner at the end of Qin, a member of the Qi royal family. After the Qin State destroyed the Qi State, Tian Dan and his cousins Tian Rong and Tian Heng moved to Di County. They are powerful in the local area, and their families are strong, and they are quite able to win the hearts of the people.
Later, taking advantage of the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the main force of the Qin army was encircling and suppressing Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, so he designed to kill the county commander and set himself up as the king, and then attacked Zhou City, marched all the way east, and restored the territory of the original Qi State.
It's a pity that Tian Zhan was defeated by Zhang Han and his troops for how long he was the king of Qi, and finally Tian Zhan's cousin Tian Dan's cousin Tian Rong collected the rest of Tian Dan and fled east to Dong'e. If the current Qin State was like the Qin State in history, Ziyou might still be afraid of Tian Zhan, but the current Qin State, even if Tian Zhan was allowed to rebel against the Qin State with the 200,000 troops of the Qi State, it would only be destroyed in a month.
"Tian Zhan has a connection with the Zhang family, and Senior Brother Lao asked Xiao Shengxian Zhuang to stare at Tian Zhan." Ziyou said, let Confucianism help keep an eye on Tian Zhan instead of netting, Ziyou is worried about startling the snake, since Tian Zhan has a connection with the Zhang family, it must be to reach a cooperation with Zhang Liang.
The current Qi State still occupies the mainstream of the Qin State or the main peace faction, especially since the abolition of the Qi State, the total number of troops in the country is only 200,000, and there is still a lack of training, the lack of updated troops in the army, and there is no general who can lead troops to fight. The current Qi country is the same, rotten. For the Qin State, the Qi State understands very well that since the Qin State has made its own salt to meet the demand for salt, the Qi State has finally been able to hold the hole cards of the Qin State, and they can't play and beat, so it is better to enjoy the day as soon as possible.
"I've already sent someone to keep an eye on Tian Zhan. There is another thing, the queen's body has reached the point where she is unable to return to the sky, a year ago, the queen's body was not good, but because she couldn't rest assured that she couldn't go down to the Qi country, she survived to this day. Fu Nian said.
"It's a pity." Ziyou said with emotion, the queen is also a generation of strange women, and she has stabilized the Qi country for more than 40 years to make it harmonious internally, and there is no enemy strategy outside.
"Life and death are fateful, this is forced." Yan Lu also said.
"That's it." Ziyou said helplessly.
Bai Feng suddenly appeared at the door.
"Sir, there is news from the palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to send it back." Bai Feng said.
"Give it to me." Ziyou said.
Fu Nian and Yan Lu saw that Ziyou had something to deal with, so they said goodbye to Ziyou. Ziyou didn't keep them either, anyway, Fu Nian and Yan Lu were in Xianyang City after that, and they would get together with them again if they had something.
Bai Feng handed over the information sent back by Fusu to Ziyou, and after Ziyou opened it and glanced at it quickly, he thought for a while and said
"This is not like a solution that Li Yuan can come up with. Although Li Yuan is good at hiding when he is weak, as long as he gives him a slight advantage, he will unceremoniously bite back and kill with one blow. Li Yuan is not a person who looks ahead and backwards, if it were his own idea, he might have let the Praetorian Guards of the Chu Palace strangle the Chu clan and the old magnates a long time ago. ”
Li Yuan was a guest in Chun Shenjun's mansion at the beginning, and he had been a low-key person and hid his ambitions when his strength was not as good as Chun Shenjun, but after his wings were slightly fuller, he sent someone to assassinate Chun Shenjun on the street when King Chu Kaolie was at the funeral, which is enough to see how ruthless and decisive Li Yuan's mind is.
"Such a poisonous snake actually put on a maze array, and it is still at such a high level, it is definitely not his means, it is more like the handiwork of the Song family among Taoists." Ziyou said that although the Song Yin school is Taoist, it blends the ideas of Confucianism and Legalism on the basis of Laozi's doctrine, and is good at finding flaws in various interpersonal relationships to break the situation, and at the same time, they do not advocate using swords to solve things.
"The king said that you should decide how to deal with the affairs of Li Yuan and the Chu State." Bai Feng said.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, their preparations are very proper, just do what they say. Is there any news from Yingdu? Ziyou asked.
"Yes, it was also sent back today, one was sent to the palace, one was sent to the Taiwei Mansion, and it was sent together with His Royal Highness the Prince." Bai Feng took out another letter.
After Ziyou opened it and took a look, his eyes widened, because it was the assassination of Li Mu. Ziyou was shocked for two reasons, the first was to shock the stupidity of these assassins, who to choose to assassinate was not good, and he had to assassinate Li Mu, the great master in the army. Let's not mention that Li Mu's own strength has few opponents, when Li Mu entered the city, there were tens of thousands of Qin troops around him, and Li Mu's strength in the army was doubled. The second reason is that Xiong Qi did not send the three thousand Yue female swordsmen to the battlefield, but let them hide in the dark, such a determination made Ziyou couldn't help but be surprised.
"Is there any news about Chu Mo?" Ziyou asked.
"No, and there is no news about Chu in the net." Bai Feng said.
"That's not right!" Ziyou's face suddenly became serious.
According to the previous information, part of Chu Mo and the Tangxi Sword Alliance supported Xiong Qi and Xiang Yan, even if there were not many people in Chu Mo and the Tangxi Sword Alliance, but relying on the equipment created by Chu Mo, they could also help the puppet Chu State defend the city, but judging from the military report that Li Mu transmitted, no matter the three-way army, none of them encountered Chu Mo's resistance, as if Chu Mo had given up on Xiong Qi and Xiang Yan.
"Maybe they knew that the fate of the Chu State was exhausted, and they were killing themselves to help the Chu State, so they withdrew in advance." Bai Feng said.
"No, if Chu Mo really did this, they wouldn't be Chu Mo." Ziyou shook his head and said.
Those who have carefully understood Chu Mo know very well that Chu Mo would never do such a thing, otherwise Deng Lingzi would not have brought more than a hundred elite disciples of Chu Mo to help the Song State resist the attack of the Chu State, and he would not have chosen to support Xiang Yan and Xiong Qi without hesitation when the other Mo factions supported the Qin State.
"Or were they taken away by Zhang Liang before?" Bai Feng said.
"Luo Wang did find that Zhang Liang took away a lot of people from the rivers and lakes around Xiong Qi, but there was no Chu Mo among them. After Zhang Liang left the state of Chu, Chu Mo was still active in Yingdu and helped Xiang Yan actively prepare for military preparations. Ziyou shook his head and said.
Bai Feng could only shut up when he saw that his views were denied, if he had been before, he might have used his brain, but after staying by Ziyou's side for a long time, he gradually forgot what it was like to use his brain. Whoever has a person with wisdom close to demons and a person who destroys delusion is by his side, he can see through things at a glance, and he can quickly think of a way to fight back. With such a person by his side, he still needs to use his brain, he just needs to follow orders.
"Oh no, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Ziyou said suddenly.
Now Fusu is still in Xiling of Qin, Fusu mobilized his army and left Xiling City, there will inevitably be a vacancy in Xiling City, if Chu Mo really wants to assassinate Fusu, the 10,000 defenders will not be able to stop Chu Mo at all unless they surround the regiments of the three outer layers of Fusuli. At the beginning, Deng Lingzi dared to lead people deep into the Chu State to assassinate Shang Ying in Liyang, not to mention that Fusu was still in the Chu State, this was Chu Mo's territory.
Suddenly, the situation centered on Shouchun in the state of Chu had another idea in Ziyou's mind. The reason why Chu Mo did not appear on the battlefield in Yingdu was because Xiong Qi, Xiang Yan and Chu Mo all knew that the pseudo-Chu State would not be able to stop the Qin State at all, and it would be a matter of time before it was destroyed, so Chu Mo's goal was never to help Xiang Yan defend the city, but to find an opportunity to kill Fusu.
Fusu is the second-generation heir of the Qin State, which is clear to the whole world, and the Qin State has also built a set of second-generation officials around Fusu, and the ministers of the Qin State also recognize in their hearts that Fusu is the identity of the second-generation heir, but what if Fusu dies suddenly? That was a huge blow to the Qin State than killing Li Mu.
As soon as Fusu died, Qin's plans for the next hundred years would be all disrupted, and the stable court pattern would also end, and the next step would be the beginning of Yingzheng's many sons vying for the position of prince, and the ministers of Qin would begin to bet again, form gangs, and start party struggles.
If Fusu dies, the blow to Yingzheng will also be huge, any king can endure the greed of his ministers, can endure their incompetence, but only the party struggle is unbearable. Once a party struggle is formed, it can threaten the throne at the top, influence government decrees at the bottom, and shake the country's foundation. At that time, Yingzheng will inevitably carry out a purge of the court of the Qin State, and at that time, the centennial plan set up by the Qin State will completely become a dream, and although the Qin State will not immediately fall into the same ending as in history, but with Zhang Liang, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, the Qin State will not last for many years.
Chu Mo knew that Li Yuan wanted to support Fusu to become the king of Chu, so that the soldiers of the Qin State could take the state of Chu without blood. And they knew that no matter whether Li Yuan succeeded or not, there was only one end for the Chu State, so they lured the Chu State clan and the old magnates to confront Li Yuan, so as to start the layout, in order to let the Qin State and Fusu put all their focus on Shouchun step by step, so as to make a move against Fusu in Xiling.
Such a thought made Ziyou's back chill suddenly, this was the first time Ziyou had such a feeling. If it was really the same as he thought, Xiong Qi and Xiang Yan were using the last power of the Chu State to deliver a death blow, and if this blow was successful, it would be a real loss of vitality for the Qin State and shake the country's foundation.
"No wonder, even if the Qin State crushes the Pseudo-Chu State with its national strength, relying on the personalities of Xiang Yan and Xiong Qi, they would rather turn the place occupied by the Pseudo-Chu State into scorched earth than let the Qin State capture it so easily, it turns out that all the purposes are to buy time for Chu Mo and lower everyone's vigilance!" Ziyou said dryly.
Bai Feng looked at Ziyou's nervous appearance that he had never seen before, and his whole body became nervous, he knew that something big was about to happen.
"Quick, Bai Feng, you go and inform Luo Wang, so that they can gather all their strength around His Royal Highness the Prince, even if they go to the toilet, they must send someone to watch it. Then inform Li Mu and Wang Jian and ask them to immediately send a large army to Xiling City, even if they dig three feet into the ground, they must eliminate all the hidden Chu Mo forces in Xiling City. Ziyou said anxiously, "No, you let Mo Crow stop caring about those people outside and blast them all away."
You and the Crow Soldiers are divided into two ways, you go and inform Li Mu and Wang Jian to let the Crow Xiling City! ”
"No!" Bai Feng looked at Ziyou's anxious appearance and knew that this matter was not trivial, so he immediately took action.
The ink crow who was still dealing with people at the gate of the Wangshi's Mansion was suddenly taken away by Bai Feng who appeared, leaving everyone with doubts.
"Sir has an order, everyone leave immediately!" Bai Feng said in a deep voice.
The armor soldiers in the Wangshi Mansion also came out and began to clean up the people, and seeing that Ziyou was really going to drive people out, the people who came to give gifts could only leave obediently. After Bai Feng told Mo Crow about Ziyou's order, the two of them immediately took action.
The speed of the two of them was much faster than that of ordinary horses and flying pigeons, and Bai Feng directly summoned his mount, Bai Phoenix, to go in the direction of Yingdu. And the ink crow let his crow pass the news to Luo Wang, while running his light power with all his strength and rushing towards the direction of Xiling City.
"Hope I can catch up!" Ziyou said in a deep voice.
Shouchun, in the embassy of the Qin State, Chang Wenjun also received information from Fusu, but he did not think as much as Zi You thought, but was surprised that Fusu saw through Chen Wei's pretense to take refuge, and sent someone to mobilize Feiling's army and his own escort army.
"Fusu has really grown up, and I have a successor to the Qin State! In the future, Fusu will inevitably become a generation of Ming Jun! Chang Wenjun said with emotion.
After sighing with emotion, Chang Wenjun got up and changed his clothes and left the Qin Embassy, but he did not go to look for Li Yuan, but came to the courtyard of the eldest brother of the Song family. The eldest brother of the Song family came into contact with Chang Wenjun two days ago, and Chang Wenjun didn't care much about this matter at first, but after the eldest brother of the Song family showdown everything, Chang Wenjun realized that the Song family in the Song Yin school, which was not recognized as Taoism, was the driving force behind Li Yuan.
The eldest brother of the Song family also told the Song family that he wanted to get help from the Qin State, and Chang Wenjun agreed after thinking that this matter was profitable, and the eldest brother of the Song family also told Chang Wenjun all the plans finalized by the Song family and Li Yuan.
"Mr. Song, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has received news." Chang Wenjun handed over Fusu's letter to the eldest brother of the Song family.
After reading it, the eldest brother of the Song family stood up in an instant, and he also discovered that Chen Wei was indeed an unstable factor in their plan. Before, they only cared about attracting everyone who could be wooed, but they forgot to investigate Chen Wei's background.
"Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is watching the fire, if we really put all the chips on Chen Wei's body, once Chen Wei betrays, we will fall short, and even die without a place to bury." The eldest brother of the Song family said.
"Now is the preparation that Chen Wei may be the enemy, and we must also mobilize Quyang's army, otherwise the Chu State clan and the old magnates will inevitably perceive that their plan may have been discovered, so they choose to do it directly. If they attack Shouchun before Feiling's army and my Great Qin elite arrive, we will be really in danger. Chang Wenjun said.
"Counting the itinerary on the road, now the army of Feiling should have traveled nearly half of the distance, and the elite of the Qin army should also arrive in Feiling and are rushing towards Shouchun. As long as Chen Wei moves, the plans of the Chu clan and the old magnates will definitely go wrong, I am sending people to disguise the traces of the Qin army outside Cai Cheng, deliberately confusing Cai Cheng's audio-visual and blind eyes, so that they dare not act rashly, so as to buy time. The eldest brother of the Song family said.
"When Li Yuan mobilizes Chen Wei, use the reason that Cai Cheng needs to be on guard, let him divide the army, and let him lead a small number of people to Shouchun." Chang Wenjun proposed,
"Good. I'll inform my second brother. The eldest brother of the Song family said.
The eldest brother of the Song family was very fast, and after conveying the news to Mr. Song, Mr. Song was also surprised, although he found Li Yuan in a hurry and told Li Yuan about the loopholes in the plan, Li Yuan was also nervous, and when he decided to directly close the city gate and use the forbidden army to encircle and suppress the Chu clan and the old magnates, he was ready to make the first move, but was stopped by Mr. Song.
thus clarified the matter of the Feiling army, and told Li Yuan about Chang Wenjun's proposal. After seeing that there was a more appropriate way, Li Yuan did not refuse to even start transferring Chen Wei.
Chen Wei was also confused after receiving Li Yuan's news, the original plan that Li Yuan discussed with him was that he would go to Yingdu in seven days, but he didn't expect it to be so much in advance. Then Chen Wei realized that he might have been exposed, but when he thought that Li Yuan still let himself lead his troops over, he dispelled this idea, and thought that Li Yuan couldn't wait to flatter Ziyou with the matter of establishing Su as the king, and used Chu as a congratulatory gift for Ziyou's marriage.
"What a flattering villain." Chen Wei sneered, and then handed over the news that Li Yuan was going to start in advance to his subordinates, and asked him to go to Shouchun to inform the Chu State clan and the old magnates to prepare to deal with Li Yuan.
After the news was transmitted back to Shouchun, the patriarch of the Chu State Clan, Zong Zheng Mi Kai, and the representative of the old magnates, Bai Bufan, the patriarch of the Bai clan, were also panicked, they didn't expect Li Yuan to be ready to do it in advance, so they immediately summoned others to discuss this matter.
After everyone arrived, Mi Kai told the others about Li Yuan's move in advance.
"What!? Li Yuan actually wants to start in advance? Why did we get the news now? A dignitary said, slapping the table.
"yes!" "yes!"
These elites themselves have come together because of their interests, and now when the danger comes, the first thing to think about is not how to deal with it, but to run away with accountability.
"Quiet, you are all the descendants of my Chu State meritorious heroes, what kind of system are you in a panic now! You have all disgraced your ancestors! Bai Bufan yelled at the many clamoring old magnates.
Hearing Bai Bufan's words, some of the old magnates stopped talking on the spot, but there were also a small number of people who were not cold to Bai Bufan.
"Old Patriarch Bai, you are an elder, I shouldn't have said this sentence myself, but I have to say it now. All of us are holding our heads and following you and Zong Zheng to work hard for the future of the Chu State. Naturally, these of us are not afraid of death, and we will not follow you to gamble if we are afraid of death, but we can't die like this, right? Before, you sent someone to keep an eye on Li Yuan, saying that Li Yuan's every move can be seen clearly, Li Yuan has fallen into our trap, as long as we follow the steps, we can defeat Li Yuan.
But now that Li Yuan has made a move in advance, if it weren't for Chen Wei to deliver the news to us, I'm afraid we would still be confused when Li Yuan's sword cut off our heads. What's more, Li Yuan is ruthless, and it is impossible to kill us only when he does it, and when the time comes, our family may be wiped out by Li Yuan and cut off the sacrifice of our ancestors! A dignitary said.
"You!" Bai Bufan squatted for a moment, and the cane in his hand looked at the powerful man angrily.
This powerful man also looked at Bai Bufan without any intimidation. Although the Bai clan has a high prestige among these old powerful families, it does not mean that they are the only ones with high prestige, and there are other families who can be equal to them.
"Okay, now that the enemy is current, Li Yuan has not yet come, we have internal strife, how can this still complete the mission of reviving the Chu State. I didn't notice that Li Yuan wanted to do it in advance, so everyone took a step back, and now they were discussing how to deal with Li Yuan. Mi Kai stood up and said.
Seeing Mi Kai stand up and speak, Bai Bufan and the previous magnate also snorted coldly and stopped arguing, although they were not convinced, but they still had to give some face to Mi Kai, the future lord of Chu that they had chosen.
"If Li Yuan wants to do something to us, he must wait until Chen Wei arrives. Li Yuan's letter asked Chen Wei to divide his troops, partly to deal with Cai Cheng, and partly to support Shouchun, and we can let Chen Wei use the division of troops as an excuse to delay time.
As long as it takes two days, let's transport some of the armor and weapons in the arsenal and equip the people under us, what about Li Yuan's hands on the forbidden army at that time? The total number of slaves, family members, private guards, and clansmen of our people is tens of thousands to tens of thousands, and when the time comes, are you still worried that we won't be able to fight Li Yuan? What's more, there is also the army brought by Chen Wei, Quyang is also our people, Chen Wei divided the troops on the surface, and after opening the city gate of Shouchun, and then let the army hidden behind directly enter the city, Li Yuan will definitely be annihilated in one fell swoop. Bai Bufan snorted coldly.
"Old Patriarch Bai thinks very well, Li Yuan is not a fool, Chen Wei was brought in by Li Yuan, will he be defenseless? He will definitely send someone to keep an eye on Chen Wei, if Chen Wei is ostensibly dividing his troops, but in fact he is coming with a large army, will he still open the gate of Shouchun? The armory is now strictly monitored by Li Yuan, if we rush to get the armor and weapons, Li Yuan will definitely know, I don't know if Li Yuan will die at that time, but your Bai clan will definitely be beheaded by Li Yuan. The powerful man before said coldly.
"You!!" Bai Bufan lifted his crutches and was about to throw them at the powerful man.
Fortunately, the people on the side quickly stopped Bai Bufan.
"Don't you just think that after the matter was completed, Zong Zheng promised me the position of Ling Yin, so you were not convinced, so you humiliated me so much!" Bai Bufan scolded at the powerful man.
"It's not that I'm dissatisfied with Zongzheng's decision, but I'm worried that you won't be able to serve as Ling Yin, you are now old and faint, and your mind is full of old-fashioned ideas, and you still think that the current Shouchun is the world of our powerful people at the beginning? If someone like you lead us, whether we can defeat Li Yuan or not is a matter of two words! The powerful who were pierced in their minds were also annoyed and angry.
The people around could only step forward to stop the two who wanted to do it, and others were also aware of the contradictions between the two. The reason why they gathered was for profit, and Zong Zheng Kai promised them that as long as it was successful, after he became the king of Chu, he would reward them with all the official positions of Chu State.
This kind of promise is a very normal thing, but there are so many official positions in the Chu State, and they don't have it if they give it to others, so some people are not convinced by the position they get, so they are dissatisfied.
"Okay, it's all quiet, it's my decision to hand over Ling Yin to the Bai Patriarch, this is what our Chu clan owes to the Bai clan. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Mi Kai said in a cold voice.
"I naturally support Zongzheng's decision, but Patriarch Bai's method is indeed inappropriate." The powerful man broke free from the control of the people around him, straightened his clothes, and said.
"And what do you have to do?" Mi Kai asked.
"Li Yuan made a move in advance, he definitely didn't dare to do it directly against the clan, otherwise he would definitely be spurned by the people of the entire Chu State. And his target must be us people, we can divide the army into two ways, we are responsible for resisting Li Yuan, although our clansmen and family servants are not the opponents of the Praetorian Guards selected from the Shenxi Division, but they can also resist their attacks. Take advantage of this opportunity, Zong Zheng, you will take the clan to capture the city gate, as long as we control the city gate, open the city gate and hand it over to Chen Wei, let Chen Wei bring the army to surround the guards from the rear, and when the time comes, the guards will definitely not be opponents.
At that time, we controlled Shouchun, and Li Yuan was not yet a turtle in an urn, so we were at our disposal. The magnate said.
"Good way!" Qi Kai said happily, this method is much better than the method proposed by Bai Bufan, Bai Bufan wants to fight Li Yuan, which will cause them heavy losses, which is what Qi Kai does not want to see, and the second method is to retreat, as long as they retreat into their respective mansions, the loss of dragging the guards through the courtyard wall is much smaller, and the risk is very small.
Seeing that Qi Kai also supported the second method, Bai Bufan's face was a little ugly.
"It's a good idea." "yes, that's a good idea." Others chimed in.
The second method does not need to charge into battle, they can effectively retain their strength, once they really have a head-on confrontation with the Praetorian Guards, their people will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, once their strength is damaged, in the future, after Mi Kai becomes the king of Chu, when they compete for interests again, they will definitely fall into a disadvantage, so they don't want to see this situation. But the second method is different, they don't have to fight, they just need to defend, as for the loss, it depends on who is unlucky to be the first to be targeted by Li Yuan.
Bai Bufan looked at these magnates who only cared about their own interests, and a burst of sadness suddenly rose in his heart, although he wanted to support Mi Kai to become the king of Chu and also had his own plans, but his ultimate goal was not to want the Chu State to fall into the hands of others, but he didn't expect that the purpose of these people he recruited was only his own interests, and he completely forgot about the Chu State.
Looking at these powerful people who were immersed in how much benefit they might share after Mi Kai became the king of Chu, Bai Bufan suddenly laughed.
"Hahahaha, that's a good idea." Bai Bufan said with a smile.
Looking at Bai Bufan's smile, everyone only felt that their scalps were numb, and they looked at each other, wondering if Bai Bufan was angry and his evil qi entered his body, and the whole person went crazy.
"Since you all think this method is a good way, then follow this method." After Bai Bufan finished speaking, he turned his head and left.
The rest of the magnates shrugged helplessly and began to go back to prepare their own plans, completely unaware that the army of Feiling outside Zi Ah Shouchun City had quietly arrived.
Xiling City.
A few men sat in a wine shop, drinking, but their eyes were on the patrol in the street.
"This team is patrolling the streets for the fifth time today, and the Qin army in Xiling City has really been transferred." One of them said.
They are Chu Mo who is hiding, their goal is indeed Fusu, compared to such a foolish thing as keeping Chu State in the hands of the Qin army, it is better to take a salary from the bottom of the kettle and kill Fusu to cut off the future of Qin State. After learning that Xiang Qu failed to attack Xiling, they began to gradually infiltrate Xiling City, secretly observing Xiling City's every move, looking for opportunities.
"Before, this team patrolled twice a day, but now it has become five, it seems that the Qin army has mobilized no less than 10,000 people, and our opportunity has arrived." Another said.
"Have the three thousand Yue female swordsmen arrived?"
"Not yet, supposedly they should have arrived a long time ago." One of them said that although they Chu Mo were bold enough, it was indeed impossible for them to assassinate Fusu in Xiling City, which was garrisoned by 10,000 people, and leave safely, so they needed someone to involve the Qin army. And the elite of the Qin army who can involve 10,000 people in their hands can only do it with three thousand Yue female swordsmen.
"Don't wait, this is a rare opportunity, if we miss it, we don't know when we will wait."
"No, wait, Chang Wenjun is Fusu's uncle, he will definitely not die without help, maybe he will send more people to support Chang Wenjun. While we have the opportunity, we can also wait for the Yue Female Sword Warrior. Shouchun is far away from Xiling, and these troops will not be able to return for a while. One said.
"Okay." Several people nodded in agreement with this method, and they must choose the right opportunity to assassinate Fusu, they infiltrated Xiling City with a total of hundreds of people, and it takes time to gather, and it also takes time to plan how to assassinate, and they can afford to wait.
At this time, Fusu didn't know that he was Chu Mo's real target, and Bai Feng and Mo Crow were also rushing to Yingdu and Xiling with all their might.
Two days later, Shou Chun.
The sudden arrival of an autumn rain adds a dangerous smell to the already oppressive atmosphere of Shouchun. The gloomy sky, the thunder that fell from time to time, the rain crackled on the houses, and the water flowed down the tiles to the ground.
In the palace of the king of Chu, Li Yuan stood in the rain in armor, and in front of him were five thousand palace guards of the Chu palace, and the rain hit their armor with a crisp soft sound, and the spears, long ges and swords were even more eerie under the washing of the torrential rain.
"The king ordered, Zongzheng Mikai and the Bai family and other families intended to rebel during the king's illness, and specially ordered me to gather the forbidden army to encircle and suppress them. Now the army is divided into two routes, the first route is that Mr. Song led three to five hundred guards to attack the Bai clan. There are 1,500 people left to surround the clan with me and kill Mi Kai! Li Yuan ordered.
The guards who had long obeyed Li Yuan's orders were high
"No!"
Afterwards, Li Yuan and Mr. Song separated with the forbidden army and headed towards the city where the clan was located and the city where the Bai family and other families were located.
Under the heavy rain, there was no one on the streets of Shouchun, and the guards were heading towards the destination in a neat and orderly manner.
At the head of Shouchun City, Chang Wenjun took the Feiling army and the original defenders who had already mixed into the city to wait for the upcoming Chen Wei.
Outside Shouchun City, Chen Wei was heading towards Shouchun with 8,000 soldiers.
"Did the people behind follow me?" Chen Wei asked.
"The news that the army has already arrived, and it has deceived the spies sent by Li Yuan, they set off a day later than us, but the speed is faster than us, and it is only fifty miles away from Shouchun." Said the adjutant general.
"Okay, move quickly, the city should already be fighting at this time." Chen Wei said.
"No!"
The army then quickly headed towards Shouchun.
Suddenly three arrows rang out in the gloomy sky in Shouchun City, and the guards led by Mr. Song and Li Yuan had already fought against the clan and the Bai clan.
"Li Yuan, you thief, want to betray my Chu State and sell the country for glory, I will definitely not let you succeed!" Qi Kai stood on the courtyard wall of the Zongzheng Mansion and shouted to Li Yuan below.
"Humph! Mi Kai, you united with some families to take advantage of the king's serious illness to rebel in the city and seize the throne, and now you dare to bite this Ling Yin is thief. Originally, I thought I would let you go as long as you surrendered, but now it seems that you are obsessed. Li Yuan touched his eight-character nonsense and said
"Listen to the people inside, I know that you were all deceived by Mi Kai to participate in the rebellion, as long as you surrender, I can spare you from the past, but if you go down in a black way, the whole clan will be executed!"
"Li Yuan, I am a child of the clan, I should be loyal to the Chu State in life, and I should guard the soul of the Chu State in death! Less nonsense, it is impossible for us to surrender! Mi Kai shouted in the heavy rain.
"Okay, well, in that case, then everyone charges! Not a single one to stay! Li Yuan ordered to the guards.
"Hold on!" Mi Kai shouted.
The guards then rushed towards the Zongzheng Mansion, and the sect disciples and domestic servants and guards guarding the Zongzheng Mansion also began to fight back, bows and arrows were constantly shot out in the rain curtain, and fresh lives continued to fall into the rain curtain, and bright red blood mixed with rain formed a small river on the ground.
The few domestic servants and private guards who commanded Mi Kai constantly resisted the attack of the janissaries, and Mi Kai was only used to attract Li Yuan's attention, and all the main forces of the sect were sent to the city wall to snatch the gate of Shouchun.
At this time, the city where the Bai clan was located had already been bleeding, and Mr. Song and the guards had broken through the mansion of the Bai clan, and were slaughtering the Bai clan, and after the slaughter of the Bai clan, Mr. Song led people to the next family.
And there was a fierce battle outside the city gate of Shouchun, the Chu State clan led more than 2,000 servants and private guards to seize the city, there were only more than 1,000 soldiers guarding the gate of Shouchun, and their 2,000 people were enough to take it, but they didn't expect that the 5,000 soldiers of Feiling had entered the city last night, and more than 2,000 people were quickly killed in the face of the siege of 6,000 people.
Chen Wei, who had already arrived in Shouchun, arrived.
"I am Chen Wei, the guard general of Quyang, and I have been ordered by Lord Yin to enter the city to defend the palace, and open the door quickly!" Chen Wei shouted in front of Shouchun City.
Chang Wenjun shouted below
"General Chen, wait a minute, let's open the city gate!"
Chang Wenjun nodded to his men, and they immediately lowered the drawbridge, and Chen Wei saw this scene and immediately led the army towards the city gate. Chen Wei was waiting for the city gate to open when Chang Wenjun shouted
"Shoot the arrows!"
The soldiers on the city wall who had been preparing for a long time immediately fired arrows below, and the army under the city was caught off guard by this sudden attack, and immediately suffered heavy losses. Seeing this, Chen Wei shouted at the city gate
"I was ordered by Lord Yin, how dare you attack me?"
"It's you who is beating, Chen Wei, the collusion between you and the old magnates has long been exposed." Chang Wenjun shouted, and then asked the soldiers to shoot arrows.
Chen Wei, who was hiding on the city wall, was stunned at the moment, he didn't expect that he would be exposed, and he panicked at first, but he thought that the defenders of Shouchun Gate were only one thousand, and as long as he waited for a while for his army to arrive, he would be able to directly break Shouchun.
But what Chen Wei didn't expect was that the army on which he pinned his hopes had been ambushed by the elite of the 10,000 Qin army at this moment, and 20,000 people were beaten by the 10,000 Qin army and abandoned their armor and fled.
Xiling City.
The heavy rain kept falling, Fusu lit the candle and was looking at the books in his hand, not noticing that several people in black had quietly sneaked into the courtyard over the wall.
After perceiving the safety, several black-clothed people signaled to the outside, and more than a dozen black-clothed people also climbed over the wall to enter the courtyard, and at the same time, there were black-clothed people entering through the wall in several different places in the courtyard.
These people were all Chu Mo's killers, and they quietly walked towards the room where Fusu was.
