Taking out a green jade pendant and handing it to Gong Yingjie, Gong Yuanhao said in a deep voice: "Take it to the Xiangfu Inn in the capital to find Shopkeeper Yao. He has a list in his hand, and then..."
He waved his son to come closer and whispered a few words in his ear. At the end, Gong Yuanhao pulled out a strange sneer on his lips: "I have spent so much money and effort to raise them for so long, and now it is their turn."
It’s time to repay this king and show allegiance to me.”
Listening to his father's explanation, Gong Yingjie's face changed again and again, and his heart was filled with turmoil. He didn't expect that his father had already arranged this secret route!
"My son has remembered it."
"In addition, you go to a family named Zhan in Tianma Town to see if Wu'anbo Wang Ninghai has arrived. That is our secret contact point. All his family members have been detained by the court. According to the previous agreement, he should go there after escaping.
There, you arrange for four people to escort him here;
Also, when you arrive in the capital, try to contact Pingyang Bozhou Ji. He is my king's man. The court has not yet suspected him, which will make it easier for you to implement your plan.
As for the people on the list, it is best to follow your orders. If someone makes excuses, you will kill them with a knife. If someone intends to inform, you must strike first and never let them come back to bite us!"
"My son understands!" Gong Yingjie nodded clearly: "It's just that my son is gone and my father is in poor health. My son is worried about this..."
Gong Yuanhao smiled confidently and said: "You can do what I asked you to do with confidence and boldness. As long as you succeed, it will be just around the corner for our father and son to take charge of the country. As for here, I am commanding an army of 300,000 people. You don't need to
Worry!
If Liyang County cannot be captured, I will lead my army to retreat to Jiuyuan County. Even if the Ninth Princess and his men form an encirclement, as long as I do not leave Jiuyuan County, the Ninth Princess will not be able to do anything to me!
You must know that the Ninth Princess has always claimed to love the people as her own son, so it is impossible to launch an attack rashly, and it is even less likely that Jiuyuan County will be starved of food due to a long siege. After all, the people of Jiuyuan County are also citizens of the Jin Kingdom to the Ninth Princess.
The princess's character will not affect the common people."
Gong Yingjie nodded to express that what his father said was reasonable, but suddenly thought of something and his expression became stern: "In this case, could it be that the Ninth Princess sent someone to assassinate the father?"
"The Ninth Princess will not do this!" Gong Yuanhao said with pride on his brows: "I am the hereditary and irreplaceable prince of the current dynasty, and I hold the gold medal for immunity from death given by the late emperor. In addition, I have great respect for Sima Shengrui.
The grace of saving my life is worth it.
If the king is really plotting to usurp the throne, the Ninth Princess would not dare to take the initiative to assassinate the king. Otherwise, the court will not be able to explain to the world. If someone with intentions instigates it again, the subjects will inevitably criticize the court and the Ninth Princess;
At that time, in order to appease the people and stabilize the country, no matter how much Sima Shengrui dotes on the Ninth Princess, he will have to sacrifice the Ninth Princess. This can be described as heartbreaking pain for Sima Shengrui. In this way, even if I die, I can rest in peace;
However, I believe that the Ninth Princess also understands the pros and cons, so I conclude that the Ninth Princess will only choose to persuade him to surrender or send people to sneak into Jiuyuan County to capture me, and then escort him to Beijing;
It's a pity that I, the king, am not someone to be taken for granted, and the palace is impregnable. It is just wishful thinking for the Ninth Princess to take control of me."
"When my father said this, my son felt relieved."
"In the end, whether we, father and son, can achieve great things depends on your trip to the capital. Therefore, you must be cautious in everything you do, and you must be careful to protect the country. I always feel that this person is not simple!" Gong Yuanhao warned again and again.
Looking at his frowning father, Gong Yingjie said suspiciously: "Although the Protector of the State has great military achievements, he is just a general. My son does not see that there is anything special about him."
"You don't understand." Gong Yuanhao sighed: "When King Wen failed in his attempt to usurp the throne, everyone said it was because of my report, but I still remember Sima Shengrui's expression being unusually calm at that time. Well,
Not like at all
I am worried that King Wen will succeed in his rebellion. What makes me even more confused is that as a military general, the Protector of the Country did not lead his army to kill the rebels. Instead, he stayed by Sima Shengrui's side. Thinking about it now is really unbelievable.
The solution."
"It was normal for the Lord Protector to stay by Sima Shengrui's side when he was a military general." Gong Yingjie still didn't understand.
Gong Yuanhao shook his head: "No! Sima Shengrui is not only closely protected by the Imperial Guards, but also has thousands of secret guards. Why does the Protector of the Country need to guard him day and night?"
"That's really unreasonable."
"Forget it, now is not the time to think about this issue. Just do what I told you to do, and be careful with the Lord Protector."
"Yes, my son will remember his father's teachings!"
The setting sun gradually sets in the west, and the gorgeous sunset glows in the entire sky. A cold crescent moon rises early from the east. The alpine woods in the distance appear as continuous light blue lines in the glow, and soft and moist water flows between the sky and the earth.
breath.
In Liyang County City, with the 300,000 shi of grain sent by Lou Haiyang, everyone finally had a delicious meal. They also heard that the grain was still being shipped, and the ninth princess had arrived at the government office to join everyone.
They fought to kill the rebels and encircled the rebels. Everyone, including the army officers and ordinary people, rejoiced and their morale was unprecedentedly high.
However, the atmosphere in the rebel garrison outside the city was heavy and tense. Gong Yuanhao suddenly announced an order to launch an attack on Liyang County in an hour. So the soldiers devoured a simple dinner and began preparations for the attack.
He looked up at the sky and then at his son, and saw him quietly heading west with a thousand guards after nodding his head. Gong Yuanhao immediately commanded the army to launch a strong offensive from the left, middle and right sides of the city wall.
For a moment, the sound of war drums and shouts of killing resounded through the sky.
The city defenders, who had been on guard for a long time, performed their duties and stood ready. Duan Fanghong and Lou Haiyang, who stood proudly on the city tower, and the other generals looked solemn.
After Liyang County, there is a vast plain. Once the rebels break through the city gate, there will be no pass to stop them, so they can only defend Liyang County to the death.
Fortunately, the disparity in the strength of the two sides is not large. In the past few months, Duan Fang Hong has improved and strengthened Liyang County, which had a poor military foundation. In addition, reinforcements are arriving one after another, so it is not a cause for concern.
Outside the city, archers fired almost ten thousand arrows towards the city tower.
More rebels swarmed under the city wall like a tide, setting up ladders and trying to climb up the city wall. However, they were repelled by the soldiers guarding the tower with stones and bows and arrows.
At the same time, a pair of men and horses carried huge wooden stakes and tried to break open the city gate. Unfortunately, the city gate was unbreakable, so they had to hit it hard again and again.
The soldiers on the city tower were also shot down from time to time by the rebel archers, and were immediately shattered beyond recognition, or died heroically on their posts.
But no one cared about this at all at this time. Whether it was the soldiers defending the city or the rebels attacking the city, they were all fighting crazily, forgetting that they were all Jin people and that they were once brothers and sisters. Now the two armies In battle, you will die or I will live.
I don’t know how long it took, or maybe it was just a blink of an eye, but inside and outside the city wall, there were rivers of blood and mountains of corpses. The scene was so tragic and tragic that the crescent moon in the sky was so scared that it hid behind the thick clouds, and the sky and the earth instantly became gloomy. The color was gone, and a thick smell of blood floated in the air.
At the same time, Lu Jianzhi, who did not know how to fight, led the government officials, military doctors, doctors in the city and some clever women to treat the wounded soldiers and ensure logistical supplies.
At this time, on the high mountain to the west of the city, Qingyun and Mo Xuan stood side by side and looked at the city tower. The sound of fighting and iron horses could be heard clearly even from several miles away.
Feeling that the lover next to him was filled with the aura of chilling and compassion, Mo Xuan's heart ached. He put his arm around her waist and comforted her softly: "War has always been so bloody and cruel. Don't worry, Xi Yan. General Duan and the others are there." Now, the rebels can't even think of setting foot in Liyang County!"
"They... are all the people of my Kingdom of Jin!" Qingyun's deep eyes revealed unconcealable self-blame and pain: "The people support me with good clothes and good food, but I, as a human being, The princess failed to fulfill her due responsibilities, I, I am sorry for them!"
Mo Xuan's expression became stern when he heard this: "Xi Yan..."
"Master Qi" An Shi suddenly appeared and interrupted Mo Xuan's words: "Gong Yingjie sneaked away from the secret passage with a thousand guards. It seems that he should be heading to the capital. Please ask the purple guards whether to intercept him?"
Putting away her compassion, Qingyun shook her head slightly, her brows contained a clear and commanding aura, and she slightly raised her lips with a devilish sneer: "Let them pass, and at the same time secretly order Xiao Yucheng and the three thousand purple-clad guards to go together month by month. Monitor their every move, and monitor them secretly if anyone is found to be in contact with them. In addition, immediately send a message to King Rui and King Xian, this time, I will kill this group of traitors who are causing harm to the country and the people!"
"I obey my orders!"
Just as An Shi left quickly, An Shisan came back quickly: "Master, Gong Yuanhao suddenly ordered the archers to use rockets. Our army... was seriously damaged."
Qingyun and Mo Xuan both turned to look at the city tower. They saw countless firelights streaking through the air and flying towards the city wall. The evening wind blowing in their faces was vaguely mixed with the smell of burning objects, and their expressions suddenly became cold. Like ice.
"Dark Thirteen!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"I order you to immediately lead ten secret guards to sneak around the enemy's rear and burn five places of food and grass. Once you succeed, do nothing else and retreat immediately!"
"I obey the order!" An Thirteen hesitated after receiving the order: "Master, then you..."
The duty of a secret guard is to always be by his master's side to protect his safety. However, there are less than thirty secret guards around the master at the moment. If he takes away ten more people, if something happens, wouldn't the master be in danger?
"I'm with Mo Xuan and them!" Behind Qingyun stood a group of majestic men.
