Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 120

[Chapter 120 Luring the snake out of its hole]

“Your Highness, the last general almost, hey…” In the

bedroom, Zhao Xu was lying on the rocking chair, Feng’er was carrying sour plum soup, and Luan’er was peeling grapes and feeding them to Zhao Xu.

Chang Wei and Liu Fu were allowed to come in, and when they saw Zhao Xu, they had resentment on their faces.

“Yes, Your Highness, you have made this official miserable.” Liu Fu said while pointing to the bag on his head, “However, if Your Highness can reward this official with a hundred taels of silver, I will feel at ease.”

Zhao Xuxin Xia Wei was moved, the news of the two had already reached his ears.

I did not use the wrong person.

But he really didn’t expect the two to be so loyal.

In the past, he thought that the death of a scholar for his confidant was just a sentence in the book.

Now I really know it.

He smiled and said: “It’s my fault, but it happened suddenly, and this king just made up a temporary idea.” After a pause, he said: ”   Well

, after this incident, this king will reward each of you with a hundred jars of fine wine.”

Wei and Liu Fu smiled with satisfaction when they heard the words, it was more or less the same.

Then Liu Fu’s face became serious, ”

The great victory in Yan County is just in time for celebration, but someone assassinates His Highness, it’s simply abominable.” Chang Wei said: “It is strictly forbidden for the people to hide gunpowder, and the location and timing chosen by the assassin are just right. It can be seen that it was carefully planned.”

Liu Fu nodded, they could vaguely guess who had this motive, but they were not sure.

And this is probably the reason why Yan Wang acted.

“Don’t think about it anymore, you just need to act with this king. Knowing that this king is dead, the black hand behind will definitely not be able to bear it.” Zhao Xu took a sip of the sour plum soup that Feng Er brought to his mouth.

The two nodded.

After saying goodbye, the two left the bedroom deliberately crying all the way.

The movement of the palace cannot be concealed from the people living nearby.

That night.

The news of King Yan’s death spread throughout Yan City.

Dong family.

Yang Cheng and Lu Ran came to meet Dong Yuan at night.

“The people who went to the palace were blocked back, but Wang Fu and General Chang were crying so hard, it is estimated that King Yan is really dying.” Yang Cheng said.

“Looking back on the past few months, the King of Yan fought against Zhang Huang and Du’s family with us, and he was very kind to our family members and entrusted him with important tasks. Wipe away tears.

Dong Yuan also had a gloomy face, and he said: “It’s just that if King Yan is really dead, we will definitely be retaliated by the Yuan family, and this Yan County will definitely not be able to stay any longer.”

Yang Cheng said: “That’s why we came here, King Yan is dead , this place must return to the Yuan family, we would rather leave our hometown than linger under the Yuan family.”

Dong Yuan nodded, “Wait a little longer, if this is the case, let’s go, in short, good horses will never turn back Grass.”

…

A house near the east gate of Yancheng.

This is the courtyard of government officials.

At this time, an official was writing something under the lamp.

A woman stood by and asked, “Husband, what are you writing about?

” Say a few kind words to Yuan Zhoumu, and when Yuan Zhoumu comes, maybe he will be able to rise to the sky.”

His voice fell, and suddenly the courtyard door was knocked.

The house boy opened the door, and two officials came in.

One said: “Brother Li, have you got any news?”

“Is it about King Yan?”

“Yes, it is said that King Yan was attacked and died.” Another person said.

“Of course I know, I didn’t expect King Yan to die young, it’s a pity, a pity.” The official surnamed Li looked regretful.

The two sighed, “If that’s the case, what is Brother Li’s plan?” The

official surnamed Li showed his letter to the two, “It’s just a good bird to choose a tree.” The

two looked at each other after reading it, and one of them The man was furious, “Yuan Li, you are a wolf-hearted man, King Dayi of Yan, although he is dead, we can’t turn to such a beast. Brother Li really makes us scholars shameless.” After finishing speaking, the

two of them flung their sleeves and left.

The official surnamed Li sneered, “Hmph, whether I want to go or not, I will settle the account of today’s humiliation with you when I get to a high position.”

…

Bei Daying.

The story of King Yan also spread here.

The half-drunk and half-awake soldiers were all crying.

There was a sad atmosphere in the barracks.

In a certain barracks, a captain couldn’t sleep for a long time.

In this battle, he flinched and may face punishment in the future.

After struggling for a while, he said to the soldiers around him: “Brothers, King Yan is dead, and Yan County is about to end. Do you want glory and wealth?”

The soldiers who were sighing because of King Yan heard the words and asked Said: “What glory and wealth?” The

general excitedly said: “It’s better for you to vote for the Yuan family with me. The Yuan family has always been dissatisfied with King Yan, and will definitely reward you heavily.

” stared at the captain.

“What’s the matter, you guys?” The captain had a premonition that something was wrong.

“Traitor, even if we die, we will not vote for the Yuan family. King Yan is alive, and we are his soldiers. If he is dead, we are also his soldiers. Brothers, it was he who was timid and afraid of death in wartime that made our battalion ashamed. Now You still have the face to encourage us to betray King Yan, arrest him and send him to General Chang.” A soldier shouted.

After his words fell, several soldiers rushed forward, pressed the captain under him, and sent them out of the barracks.

…

On the official road from Yancheng to Fanyang, a fast horse headed for Fanyang County in a starry night.

The next day, the fast horse entered Fan Yang and went up to Yuan’s mansion.

“King Yan is really dead?” Yuan Li’s face was squeezed by fat and there was only a slit left in his eyes, shining with excitement.

“It’s absolutely true, Wang Fu and the general under the command of King Yan went to the palace, and when they came out, they cried unceasingly, and the palace was full of crying. Now many officials and generals in Yancheng are looking for their own way out.” The visitor said.

The rubbing flesh on Yuan Li’s excited face trembled slightly, “Yes, yes, Chen Ang is a bit capable, this time he is not wrong, what is he doing in Yancheng now?”

“He is recruiting officials and generals under King Yan for Da people ”

Yuan Li nodded again, and he said: “Tomorrow the Japanese state herdsman will lead the army to Yan County to frighten King Yan’s Xiaoxiao, if King Yan’s soldiers and horses can be used by me, my Yuan family’s position in Yan State will be unshakable. ”

In addition to eyeing King Yan’s soldiers and horses, Yuan Li also coveted King Yan’s property for a long time.

In this war against Beidi, the armor of King Yan’s soldiers was even more legendary.

And these things were immediately his.

Thinking of this, he really couldn’t wait.

Of course, there is also Zhang Kang. He wants to fish it out this time, so as not to leak something that is not good for him.

On the same day, he ordered all the army horses, and in the early morning of the next day, the mighty 30,000 yuan Jiaxuan armored cavalry, 50,000 less than 50,000, left for Yancheng.

In the evening, Yuan Li arrived in Yancheng.

Outside the south city gate, he looked at Yancheng with complacency.

Raising his horsewhip, he arrogantly pointed at the gatekeepers, “Go and call the person in charge of Yancheng, and just say that I, Yuan Li, have come.”
