The commanders of the four major battalions, including Zhao De, all stood there in fear and did not dare to say a word.
They are not Yuan Kang, the Fourth Generation and the Three Dukes.
High position and authority.
They are just commanders of a small military camp.
Moreover, these military camps do not have much combat effectiveness at all due to the problem of empty pay.
At this time, Zhao De only felt bitter in his heart.
He came today just because he wanted Yuan Kang to come up with a solution.
Now the solution is indeed given,
This method is so scary.
Open the door and offer it.
This is a rebellion.
Zhao De's throat rolled, and he glanced at Yuan Kang in front of him from the corner of his eye.
He was now very sure that if they dared to say a word of objection.
I'm afraid I won't be able to see the sun tomorrow.
Mud doesn’t care, let’s give it a try!
When he thought about the result of being discovered by Han Lin about taking free money,
Zhao De felt cruel and gritted his teeth and said: "Dong Daying is willing to fully cooperate with the master's plan."
Seeing Zhao De express his position,
The other three could only bite the bullet and express their opinions one after another.
Yuan Kang smiled with satisfaction.
The four camps are four thousand soldiers and horses.
Plus the three thousand deadliest servants of the Yuan family.
When the time comes, the seven thousand men will be able to easily occupy the city gate while the defenders are unprepared.
As for surrendering to Yan?
joke.
A good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a good minister chooses his master to do his work.
Now that the Emperor of Qi is fatuous and incompetent, his people are devastated, so what if his Yuan family changes its family.
What's more, the four generations and three princes of the Yuan family have disciples and former officials all over the world.
Regardless of who the emperor is, the Yuan family is equally high and powerful.
"I will prepare a letter and send it to the head coach of the Yan army."
"As for the vacant positions in the camp, I don't care what method you use, they must be filled for me."
"Before the Yan army arrives, if anyone makes a mistake, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
There was no hidden threat in Yuan Kang's cold words.
........
after one day.
noon.
In the Yan army camp, the soldiers were busy making rice.
After a day of rapid march, the soldiers' faces were full of exhaustion.
Now I finally have a chance to breathe,
These people sat together in small groups, bragging about their glorious achievements.
"I'm not bragging to you. I'm telling you that the last time we fought against Qi, I was called an invincible. I held two machetes and killed all the way from the left to the right of the army. The blood was flowing like a river. No. I didn’t even blink my eyes knowing how many people were hacked to death.”
"No, then you cut your eyes for so long, aren't your eyes dry?"
"Damn it, I said I kill people without blinking an eye, but you ask me if my eyes are dry?"
"Young master, who doesn't know you yet? I saw you lying under a corpse last time, and you crawled out only after the battle was almost over."
"You don't know how to speak, how can you insult someone's innocence out of thin air?"
"By the way, when can we enter Linzi? I heard that their emperor opened several brothels, and the girls and services there are so good."
"You kid, the war hasn't started yet. You are thinking about what you will do after entering the city."
Now the Yan army is less than fifty miles away from Linzi.
In addition, Le Zhen said before the expedition,
If we can capture Linzi, we can deploy troops for three days to satisfy the soldiers!
In other words, after conquering the city.
For three days, the soldiers were allowed to burn, kill and loot.
Such behavior may be a bit cruel in the eyes of future generations.
But in ancient times, this was basically a commonly used method to boost the morale of the troops.
Such a promise naturally made countless Yan troops feel as excited as if they had been given blood.
The coach's tent.
Le Zhen closed his eyes slightly and sat on the chair.
He was thinking about how to conquer Linzi as soon as possible.
At this time, a confidant walked into the camp and whispered something in Le Zhen's ear.
"Qi Taiwei, Yuan Kang's messenger?"
"Let him in."
Not long after, Yuan Kang's messenger walked into the tent, saluted towards the music formation, and handed over the letter in his hand.
"General Yue, this is a letter from my lord, please read it."
Open the letter,
Le Zhen glanced roughly.
After reading it, Le Zhen flashed a look of surprise.
The expression of the military advisor next to him also changed, and he was obviously very surprised by Yuan Kang's surrender.
the content of the letter,
Naturally, Yuan Kang slandered Han Lin in various ways.
He detailed Han Lin's various crimes after taking office, and finally said that his virtue was not worthy of his position.
And in the second half of the content, there are all kinds of praises for Emperor Yan, such as his great talent and great strategy, his wisdom and martial prowess, his knowledge of people and his ability to make good use of them... blah blah blah.
He directly praised Emperor Yan to the heavens, as if he were some eternal sage.
At the end of the letter, there is Yuan Kang's true purpose.
Wait for the Yan army to arrive in Linzi.
At the third watch, raise fire as a signal.
At that time, Yuan Kang will arrange for people to seize the west gate and let the Yan army enter the city.
Yue Zhen asked: "Logically speaking, Yuan Kang has a high position in Qi State. Even if the emperor is unpopular, there is no reason for him to change his position, right?"
The messenger who surrendered to the ground hurriedly explained: "The general doesn't know something, because what the foolish king did is too ridiculous, and my family has tried to dissuade him many times."
"But instead of paying attention, the Hunjun repeatedly insulted my lord. If my lord hadn't still had some reputation, I would have been killed by the Hunjun long ago."
The messenger didn't know he was professionally trained.
Still have a natural talent for acting.
The words were very sincere, as if Yuan Kang had really suffered so much.
Le Zhen walked over and helped the messenger up.
"This general has also heard about what the Emperor of Qi has done. Yuan Taiwei abandoned the secret and surrendered to Dayan. Naturally, this general welcomes him."
Yue Zhen said happily: "You should quickly go back and tell Yuan Taiwei that you will raise fire at the third watch as a signal. After the Qi are destroyed, I will definitely claim credit for Yuan Taiwei from His Majesty."
"The villain will take his leave first."
The messenger bowed his hands and hurriedly walked outside the military camp.
In the tent,
Calm again.
Le Zhen said calmly: "I wonder what the military advisor thinks of Yuan Kang's return and surrender?"
The military advisor standing aside stroked his beard and said: "According to what the messenger said just now, it is not impossible for Yuan Kang to surrender."
"However, in order to prevent fraud, after the city gate is opened, the general must not take the risk. He should first send 10,000 troops in."
"If the surrender is true, our army can march in and capture Linzi. If the surrender is false, we will only lose 10,000 troops."
Le Zhen nodded: "Okay, let's use the strategy of the military advisor."
"Hmph! Regardless of whether the surrender is true or false, it is all nonsense in the face of absolute strength."
The sound of the orchestra was both disdainful and arrogant.
This is the confidence brought to him by more than 20 years of military career and the 200,000 troops behind him.
"This time, I will conquer the Qi Kingdom in one fell swoop."
Thinking of this,
Le Zhen's blade-like eyes were filled with frightening murderous intent.
...
at the same time.
The messenger who walked out of the Yan Army camp hurried back to Linzi.
at night,
The moon and stars are sparse.
The messenger who arrived at Linzi City faced the closed city gate and hurriedly sent out the agreed signal to let the gatekeepers open the door.
Although they had opened the city gate very carefully,
But the movement caused still attracted the attention of others.
Not long after,
The relevant reports have been submitted to Han Lin.
Looking directly at Shen Kuang who was kneeling in front of him, Han Lin asked: "Are you saying that someone came in from outside the city tonight, or did someone open the city gate and let them in?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, and according to the tracking of Jin Yiwei, we found that the man went directly to Yuan Mansion after entering the city."
"Yuan Mansion..."
Han Lin's eyebrows narrowed slightly.
The enemy is facing a formidable enemy, and the Yuan family is doing something that requires people from outside the city to come in.
Moreover, Han Lin requested to gather soldiers and horses from the four major battalions.
But they delayed again and again.
A bad premonition spread in my heart.
Han Lin ordered: "Shen Kuang! I order you to monitor every move of the Yuan family 12 hours a day from now on, and also investigate the generals of the four major battalions and the specific situation of the army."
"Tomorrow morning, I'm going to see the answer!"
"As you command!"
