Become a feudal king from today

"Come here, come here, drag him down and kill him, kill him..."

Yuan Li's face was distorted, and the young man's words made him tremble with fear. ReadМ

The young man had no fear on his face, "Master Yuan can kill me, but he will still appear in Dasong's court after submitting his name. Will he be exterminated by Emperor Dasong's order, or will he continue to rule Yan after I am admitted to Beidi?" Zhou, Master Yuan, please think clearly."

Guo Tu kept wiping the sweat from his head.

At this time, he suddenly realized that the certificate of nomination was a trap.

A trap that trapped the Yuan family.

I'm afraid that even if they kill Mo Zhai now, Enke will still let them cooperate with the Beidi people to take Yanguan.

The air became quiet for a moment.

Yuan Li was dripping with cold sweat, and after struggling fiercely with his thoughts, he slowly said: "Okay, I promise you."

This time he had no retreat.

The Yuan family could not bear the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

Once this matter reaches the capital, the days of the Yuan family in charge of Yanzhou are over.

And his head will fall on the cold ground of the Meridian Gate.

"He who knows the current affairs is a hero." The young man smiled softly and said, "Master Yuan is really a hero. Please wait for the news. It will not take a few days. Once you get the order, I hope Master Yuan will use all the troops of the Yuan family and I, Beidi, to capture Yan." close."

"How many days will it take?" Yuan Li was keenly aware of the young man's words and asked in surprise: "Beidi wants to use troops in winter?"

"Yes, everyone thought that after this snowfall, we would not use troops, but on the contrary, we decided to use troops at this time to catch Yanguan off guard." The young man said slowly.

Hearing this, Yuan Li nodded silently.

This time the Beidi people came for real.

"Master Yuan takes his leave. I hope we can meet again in the king's tent someday." The young man bent slightly, turned and left.

The young man's figure disappeared, and Yuan Li slumped on the chair, as if all his strength was gone at this moment.

After being silent for a while, he was suddenly startled.

After appointing Guo Tu as the chief historian, he was too lazy to interfere with government affairs, and all the documents in Yanzhou were handed over to Guo Tu.

Even the name on the document was copied and signed by Guo Tu.

The same is true on the certificate of investment.

In this case, he could completely ignore the matter of submitting a petition and accuse Guo Tu of framing him.

But it is a fact that Beidi wants to attack Yanguan now.

If the Yuan family does not cooperate, if Yanguan is breached by Beidi, the Beidi people will definitely not spare him.

Therefore, he must send troops and fully cooperate with Beidi.

But if he sends troops and Beidi fails, the court will not spare him.

This is a dilemma.

But he was able to turn the Yuan family from a wealthy Fanyang family into almost the ninth most powerful family in Dasong. It was not just about luck, but also his ruthlessness and decisiveness.

Looking at Guo Tu with a smile, he said: "Guo Changshi, can you and I rise to the top just by entering Beidi this time?"

Guo Tuyin threatened Yuan Li with the certificate of surrender from Beidi, and his face turned pale with fear.

He was afraid that Yuan Li would kill him in a rage, after all, he was the one who caused it.

Now, instead of getting angry, Yuan Li was kind to him, which surprised him greatly.

"Do you mean to agree to Beidi?" Guo Tu hesitated.

"Yes, I have figured it out. Since the emperor supported King Yan to suppress my Yuan family, which is unkind and unjust, why should I, Yuan Li, work for the court again." Yuan Li's eyes flashed.

After a pause, he continued: "So, I am going to let you command the Yuan family's troops. After that, you and I will share the wealth, how about it?"

Guo Tu was flattered, but he didn't expect that not only would he not be in trouble this time, but he would be blessed. He hurriedly said: "I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Yuan Li laughed loudly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

For him, this was a big gamble.

If Beidi wins, the Yuan family will naturally be respected by Beidi.

If we lose, with Guo Tu as the scapegoat, we will only lose troops and horses, but a huge loss in strength is inevitable.

…

Yancheng.

After Zhao Xu learned from Yanwei that the Yuan family had assassinated Mo Zhai, he sent Chen Hu into Pingjun and headed for Lulong Mountain.

After waiting for more than two days, there was still no news, which made him a little anxious.

"If something happens to General Mo, what will Yan Guan do?"

In the meeting hall, Chang Wei frowned.

Originally he wanted to go in person, but was stopped by Zhao Xu.

After all, the situation is very complicated, and a large army may be mobilized to deal with it at any time.

"Yes, if the Beidi people come again, without General Mo, it will be unknown whether Yan Pass can be defended. Yuan Li is too arrogant this time. What on earth does he want to do?" Liu Fu said angrily.

"The dispute over the master of Yan Pass in the court has never stopped. Maybe someone instigated Yuan Li to kill General Mo in order to take Yan Pass as his own and increase his authority in the court." Chang Wei pondered.

"It's possible." Zhao Xu nodded, "But there is another possibility..."

Zhao Xu remembered the news that Xu E brought to him. Guo Tu, a counselor under Yuan Li's tent, had been to the grassland.

Is it possible that Yuan Li and Beidi colluded in this matter?

He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

If this is the case, Yanzhou will be in big trouble.

After all, contemporary history is full of collaborators and traitors.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Shi Jingtang ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and Khitan, and recognized the Khitan emperor as his father, so that he could use Khitan troops to conquer the Central Plains.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui surrendered to the enemy as an offering to Shanhaiguan.

For him, he does not believe in the integrity of Yuan Li and others at all.

After all, the Yuan family once sold weapons privately to Beidi.

Just as he was thinking about it, someone suddenly came to report that Chen Hu was back.

The three of them were overjoyed when they heard this and immediately left the palace.

But when they arrived outside the palace gate, the three of them were stunned.

Because besides Chen Hu, there was another person looking at them with a smile.

"Your Highness, the end is coming. I wonder if Your Highness will take him into custody." Zhongli smiled sarcastically, cupping his fists and bowing.

"This..." Zhao Xu and the other three were stunned for a moment.

Chen Hu smiled and said: "Your Highness, the Mo family father and son arrived at Yanguan safely. This is all the credit of Captain Zhongli..."

After that, he told the story of Zhongli rebelling against the Yuan family and rescuing Mo Zhai.

The three of them nodded slightly when they heard the words.

Zhao Xu said: "I was still afraid that you wouldn't come. Well, now I have another general under my command."

Chang Wei was so happy that he could not see his teeth.

There is now a serious shortage of cavalry generals in the royal army.

Zhongli was an excellent cavalry general and had experience in training cavalry.

What's more, Zhongli seems to have brought many experienced cavalry to King Yan this time. Can he be unhappy?

Liu Fu was also smiling, and he was a little proud.

After all, it was he who saved Zhongli's father, and he was responsible for it.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that the Mo family father and son were safe.

Zhao Xu said: "We will hold a banquet at the palace tonight to welcome Captain Zhongli to join the royal army."

When Zhongli heard this, his smile gradually brightened.

He now hates the Yuan family extremely.

Being able to serve under King Yan, he just felt like a fish in water.

After saying a few words, Zhao Xu asked Chang Wei to settle Zhongli and his soldiers.

That night, he held a banquet in the palace to entertain Zhongli, and also called the military generals to accompany him.

After three rounds of drinking.

Everyone is in high spirits.

Zhong Li suddenly said: "Your Highness, Yuan Li's assassination of General Mo is a serious crime. It's just a pity that we won't be able to capture a Yuan family soldier in the future."

"Lieutenant Zhong, there is no need to blame yourself. The matter was urgent at that time. It is a blessing that you were able to rescue General Mo and reach Yancheng safely." Zhao Xu said.

"As for the assassination, regardless of whether there is evidence or not, I will go to Yuan Liben for reference. I believe that General Mo Zhai will also go to the court to punish him." Zhao Xu said.

Zhongli nodded after hearing this.

Zhao Xu continued: "But this is not what I am most worried about. I am worried about Yuan Li's motive for killing General Mo."

Then, he told everyone the information he had obtained.

After listening to this, Zhong Li, Chang Wei and others woke up from the wine and felt a chill on their backs.

Chang Wei said: "Your Highness, we should keep an eye on the Yuan family at the moment, and also prepare the soldiers of the Royal Palace to deal with unexpected changes."

"This is exactly what I want to say. I have sent people to Fan Yang to monitor the Yuan family. I will leave the military preparations to you." Zhao Xu said.

Chang Wei looked solemn and nodded.

…

late at night.

A bright moon hung high in the sky, its cold radiance drowned out the stars and dominated the dark sky.

The silver light shines down, reflecting the cold white light on the white snow in Yanshan Mountain.

The snow-covered Yanshan Mountain is difficult to pass at this time of year.

At this time, a young man was trudging along the path leading to the grassland.

It wasn't until he passed through Yanshan and reached the grassland that he breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at Yanshan, and headed towards the Black Iron King's tent.

"Your Majesty, the Yuan family failed to assassinate Mo Zhai."

As the sky dimmed, this man appeared in Enke's king's tent.

Enke frowned. Hearing the bad news just after getting up ruined his mood.

"The commander went to Yuan Mansion and conveyed the king's message to Yuan Li, asking him to wait for our news." The young man continued.

Enko nodded.

Although Mo Zhai did not die, he left behind a backup plan, and this was the trap he set for the Yuan family.

The certificate of surrender is the sharp sword hanging over the Yuan family's head.

The Yuan family could only obey him.

"Very good, you stay in the king's tent for the time being. I will go to the Khan's Court and personally ask the Khan for a tassel. When I return, you will send the news back to Yanzhou." Enke's brows relaxed a little.

If the assassination of Mo Zhai failed, he had a second strategy, which was to ask the Yuan family to cooperate with the Beidi army to attack Yanzhou.

once.

The Beidi army fought several times at Yanguan, but failed to gain any advantage.

But if the inside and outside can be coordinated this time, it may not be an opportunity for Beidi to go south.

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to prepare horses and go to the royal court.

This has to happen quickly.

If Yuan Li fails to assassinate Mo Zhai, he will inevitably be criticized by Mo Zhai.

If the imperial court becomes suspicious of the Yuan family and takes precautions, the opportunity to go south will disappear.

Therefore, he had to let the Khan attack before the Great Song court could react.

At this time, a gust of cold wind swept in from outside the king's tent. Enke's face was colder than winter. He said word by word: "King Yan, after you break the barrier, it will be your death."
