In Datong City.
The atmosphere was very depressing.
The letter that Yan Jun sent in earlier successfully defeated their morale.
King Zhu Di of Yan could easily defeat the imperial court's 130,000-strong army. Datong only had an army of 100,000 people. How could they withstand this brave and skilled King of Yan?
I have to admit that Zhu Di's move was very vicious.
Even before the war started, the defenders were filled with fear.
In addition, Chen Zhi also made the same decision as Bu Wan, enforcing stricter military discipline.
All letters were confiscated, and any private discussion or spreading of rumors by any soldiers was strictly prohibited.
But little did he know that facing a powerful enemy and strict military discipline would only make the officers and soldiers of the three armies even more dissatisfied.
For example, some military generals who have always been dissatisfied with Chen Zhi.
In a secret room in Datong City, two people are plotting.
"Then who is Chen Zhi? Do you really think of yourself as General Song Zhong?"
"We haven't settled the score with him for his cowardice before fighting and his escape from the battle, but now he is doing well. He has suddenly become a general, and he dares to yell at you and me. I am really angry!"
Another voice also sounded, slightly soft and low, which made people feel uncomfortable.
"Who says it isn't?"
"Then Chen Zhi is just a confidant of General Song Zhong, and his official position is only that of a guerrilla general!"
"No matter what aspect you look at, he, Chen Zhi, is not qualified to lead us, let alone dictate to us!"
Not surprisingly, both of them were extremely dissatisfied with Chen Zhi.
One is because Chen Zhi was too domineering. After forcibly gathering an army of 100,000 people, he became even more arrogant and beat and scolded his subordinates frequently, without paying any attention to the generals in the army.
The second is that Chen Zhi's previous official position was not high, he was just a guerrilla general. If it weren't for the reputation of General Song Zhong, the generals would have killed this idiot!
To this day, with the enemy facing the enemy, Chen Zhi has implemented more stringent military orders, and the officers and soldiers of the three armies are extremely dissatisfied with this.
The two were silent for a long time, and no one spoke first.
In the end, the two looked at each other in tacit understanding and understood each other's intentions.
"His Royal Highness, Prince Yan, is brave and good at fighting, and has great ambition. You and I went to the border with Prince Yan to fight, but do you still remember this incestuous feeling?"
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't come to see you today!"
"Hahaha...that's good!"
After expressing their feelings to each other, the relationship between the two has become closer, and the trouble of testing each other has been saved.
"It's just that Chen Zhi is wary of us right now, and all the city gates are guarded by his confidants. I'm afraid it won't be an easy task for us to coordinate His Highness King Yan from both inside and outside!"
Hearing this, the other visitor smiled.
"Did you forget it?"
"There is not only one Chen Zhi in Datong City!"
"If we talk about who is more qualified to command the three armies, it is undoubtedly His Highness the Acting King!"
"His Royal Highness Dai Wang is Taizu Xueyin, the thirteenth son of Taizu Emperor Gao. If we can rescue His Highness Dai Wang and then raise our arms, Chen Zhi will definitely be in chaos!"
"At that time, all we need to do is set fire to the city. When His Highness King Yan sees it, he will naturally lead his army to attack. In this way, great things can be accomplished!"
Upon hearing this, the man's eyes suddenly shone brightly.
"This is a great idea!"
"The soldiers and horses responsible for guarding the Prince's Palace are all my brothers!"
"In that case, let's take action at midnight tomorrow, sooner rather than later!"
"No!" The other person shook his head, "Let's do it tonight, do it now!"
"Now that the morale of the entire garrison has plummeted because of that secret letter, it's the perfect time for us to take action!"
"Besides, Chen Zhi is busy patrolling the city defenses and has no time or energy to pay attention to the affairs of Prince Dai's Mansion!"
As soon as these words came out, the two of them immediately made up their minds and went to make preparations.
Soon outside Prince Dai's palace, a general hurried over.
"By the order of General Chen, you will follow me inside to inspect the Prince's Mansion!"
No one had any doubts, after all, this general had always been responsible for guarding the Dai Wang Mansion.
However, when the general entered the Dai Wang Mansion and saw Dai Wang Zhu Gui, before Zhu Gui could curse him, the general fell to his knees on the ground, making everyone look stupid.
"Your Highness, King Dai, His Highness King Yan has led an army to the outside of the city. Please, Your Highness, King Dai, follow us to raise troops, fight out of King Yan's Mansion, and respond to His Highness King Yan!"
Seeing this situation, the acting king Zhu Gui was dumbfounded.
Is that fourth brother so awesome?
Why is there still his fanboy in Datong City?
Zhu Gui didn't have time to think too much and stepped forward to help him up.
"May I ask the general what your name is? I will never forget the great kindness of the general."
"Your Highness has made a serious statement. The last general, Xu Zhong, is willing to join the army with Your Highness!"
"Very good!" Zhu Gui was overjoyed, "Everything will follow General Xu's orders!"
Xu Zhong nodded, and then looked at his confidants.
"His Royal Highness the King of Yan is known as the image of a human master. The young master is foolish and ignorant, and Chen Zhi is rebellious. I would like to respond to His Highness the King of Yan by raising troops to appease the people. Are you willing to share the glory and wealth with me?"
As expected, everyone agreed and no one refused.
They had long been frightened out of their wits by Zhu Di, who was brave and good at fighting, so they were naturally very happy at this moment!
Xu Zhong nodded when he saw this, and then looked at the acting king Zhu Gui.
"Please put on your armor, Your Highness, and follow us to fight out!"
The group of people immediately took action, but after they successfully fought out, the acting king Zhu Gui stopped.
"Your Highness, please leave quickly and follow us to the city gate!"
Xu Zhong was very puzzled when he saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to urge him.
However, Zhu Gui asked back: "How are you going to contact my fourth brother?"
"The city gate must be heavily guarded. Without Fourth Brother's reinforcements, we will definitely not be able to get out!"
Xu Zhong looked embarrassed when he heard this, and said eagerly: "We are going to set fire everywhere!"
"No need to go to such trouble!" Zhu Gui waved his hand, "Just order this generation's palace!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded and looked at Zhu Gui in disbelief.
Zhu Gui gritted his teeth and said, "I have been imprisoned for a long time, and I have long wanted to light this prison on fire!"
"Hey, Zhu Yunwen, Chen Zhi, you didn't expect me to be able to get out of trouble, right?"
Prince Dai murmured with a ferocious smile on his face, then took the torch from the soldier's hand and threw it in directly.
"What are you still doing?"
"Hurry up, set fire to this cage, and send a message to my fourth brother!"
Only then did everyone wake up from a dream, and immediately threw the torches in their hands into Prince Dai's Mansion.
But in the blink of an eye, Prince Dai's Mansion burst into flames, lighting up the entire night sky!
This sudden change quickly attracted Chen Zhi's attention, causing his expression to change instantly.
"damn it!"
"How is this going?"
"In that direction, is Prince Dai's Mansion?"
"Go and save people quickly, we must not let any accident happen to King Dai!"
Chen Zhi roared crazily, and his whole body was so frightened that his spine trembled.
If something happens to the acting king Zhu Gui, Chen Zhi will undoubtedly die. Not only will King Yan Zhu Di not be able to spare him, but the court will never let him go either!
At the same time, the Yan army camped.
"Report——"
"My lord, there has been a sudden change in the city, and a raging fire has broken out!"
Zhu Di stood up suddenly and laughed immediately.
"Hahaha……"
"Command the three armies to launch an attack!"
"That thirteenth younger brother of my king is really not a good person!"
The deafening drums sounded, and the Yan army, which had been well prepared, launched a fierce attack.
For a moment, loud shouts of death resounded throughout the night sky in Datong!
