Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 184
[Chapter 184 Vigilance]
“Come here, come here, drag him down and kill him, kill him…”
Yuan Li’s face was contorted, and the young man’s words made him tremble with fear.
The young man showed no fear, “Your Majesty Yuan can kill me, but you will still appear in Dasong’s court if you vote for your name. Will you be exterminated by Emperor Dasong, or will you continue to rule Yan after I am entered by Beidi?” Zhou, Master Yuan, you have thought clearly.”
Guo Tu kept wiping the sweat from his brow.
At this time, he suddenly realized that the voting certificate was a scam.
A trap that traps the Yuan family.
I’m afraid that even if they kill Mo Di now, Enke will still let them cooperate with the Beidi people to take Yanguan.
The air was quiet for a moment.
Yuan Li was dripping with cold sweat. After struggling violently, he said slowly: “Okay, I promise you.”
This time he had no way out.
The Yuan family could not bear the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason.
Once this matter is reported to the capital, the Yuan family’s days in charge of Yanzhou will be over.
And his head will fall on the cold ground of the Meridian Gate.
“He who understands the current affairs is a hero.” The young man smiled softly, “Master Yuan is indeed a hero. Please wait for the news from me. It will not take a few days. Once you get the order, Lord Yuan will use all the soldiers of the Yuan family to take down Yan with me Beidi.” Close.”
“How many days?” Yuan Li was keenly aware of the young man’s rhetoric, and was surprised: “Beidi wants to use troops in winter?”
“Yes, everyone thought that after this snow, we would not use troops, but it was the opposite. We have to use troops at this time, and we will be caught off guard when we hit Yanguan.” The young man said slowly.
Yuan Li nodded silently upon hearing this.
This time Beidi people came for real.
“Master Yuan is leaving. I hope we can meet again in Wangzhang someday.” The young man bent slightly, turned and left.
The figure of the young man disappeared, and Yuan Li slumped on the chair, as if all the strength in his body was gone at this moment.
He was only silent for a while, then he was startled suddenly.
After appointing Guo Tu as the chief historian, he was too lazy to intervene in government affairs, and all documents in Yanzhou were handed over to Guo Tu for disposal.
He even asked Guo Tu to copy and sign the name on the document.
The same is on the nomination certificate.
That being the case, he can completely leave the matter of submitting the certificate and accuse Guo Tu of framing him.
But it is a fact that Beidi wants to attack Yanguan at the moment.
If the Yuan family doesn’t cooperate, Beidi people will definitely not spare him if Yanguan is breached by Beidi.
Therefore, he must send troops, and he must fully cooperate with Beidi.
It’s just that Beidi failed if he sent troops, and the court would not spare him.
This is a dilemma.
But he was able to turn the Yuan family from a wealthy family of Fan Yang into the ninth most powerful family in Dasong. It was not only luck, but also his ruthlessness and scheming.
Looking at Guo Tu with a smile, he said: “Guo Changshi, whether you and I can make it to the
top depends on Beidi’s entry this time.”
I was afraid that Yuan Li would kill himself in a fit of rage, after all, he was responsible for this.
Now, instead of getting angry, Yuan Li treated him kindly, which surprised him greatly.
“Your Excellency, you mean to agree to Beidi?” Guo Tu hesitated.
“That’s right, I’ve figured it out. Since the emperor supported King Yan to suppress my Yuan family, it’s unrighteous. Why should I, Yuan Li, give my life to the court?” Yuan Li’s eyes were shining brightly.
After a pause, he continued: “So, I’m 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 overwhelmed by the flattery, he didn’t expect that this time he was not only free from disaster, but also blessed, he hurriedly said: “I will definitely live up to my lord’s expectations.”
Yuan Li laughed loudly, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
For him, this time is a big gamble.
If Beidi wins, his Yuan family will naturally be valued by Beidi.
Losing, with Guo Tu as a scapegoat, is only a loss of soldiers and horses, but a great loss of strength is inevitable.
…
Yancheng.
After Zhao Xu learned from Yanwei that the Yuan family had assassinated Mo Di, he sent Chen Hu into Ping County and headed towards Lulong Mountain.
After waiting for more than two days, but no news came, he couldn’t help feeling a little anxious.
“If something happens to General Mo, what will Yanguan do?” In the
meeting hall, Chang Wei was frowning.
Originally, he was going to kiss him, but was stopped by Zhao Xu.
After all, the situation is very complicated, and there may be an army to deal with it at any time.
“Yes, if Beidi people come again, without General Mo, it will be unknown whether Yanguan can hold. This time Yuan Li is too rampant, what exactly does he want to do?” Liu Fu said angrily.
“The battle between the generals of Yanguan in the court has never stopped, maybe someone ordered Yuan Li to kill General Mo, and wanted to take Yanguan as his own so as to increase his power in the court.” Chang Wei pondered.
“It’s possible.” Zhao Xu nodded, “But there is another possibility…”
Zhao Xu recalled the news that Xu E brought him that Yuan Li’s adviser, Guo Tu, had been to the grassland.
Is it possible that Yuan Li and Beidi colluded with each other in this matter?
He couldn’t help but fell into deep thought.
If so, Yanzhou will be in big trouble.
After all, in contemporary history, treacherous ministers abound.
During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Shi Jingtang ceded Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures and Khitan, recognized the Khitan Emperor as his father, and used Khitan soldiers to compete in the Central Plains.
At the end of Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui offered Shanhaiguan to join the enemy.
As far as he is concerned, he doesn’t believe in the integrity of Yuan Li and others.
After all, the Yuan family had privately sold arms to Beidi.
Just as he was thinking, someone came to report that Chen Hu had returned.
The three were overjoyed when they heard the words, and immediately left the palace.
But when they reached the gate of the palace, the three of them froze for a moment.
Because besides Chen Hu, there was another person looking at them with a smile.
“Your Highness, the end is coming. I don’t know if His Highness will take you in.” Zhong Li smiled sassyly, and bowed with fists folded.
“This…” All three of Zhao Xu were stunned.
Chen Hu smiled and said: “Your Highness, the Mo family father and son arrived at Yanguan safely, this is all thanks to Captain Zhongli…”
After finishing speaking, he told about Zhongli’s rebellion from the Yuan family and the rescue of Mo Di.
The three of them nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Zhao Xu said: “I’m still afraid that you won’t come, okay, now I have another general under my command.”
Chang Wei was even more delighted.
There is a serious shortage of cavalry generals in the royal army.
And Zhongli is an excellent cavalry general who has experience in how to train cavalry.
What’s more, Zhongli seems to have brought a lot of experienced cavalry to join King Yan this time. Could he be unhappy?
Liu Fu also had a smile on his face, and there was a little pride in it.
After all, he was the one who saved Zhongli’s father, and it was his contribution.
Knowing that the Mo family father and son were safe, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Xu said: “We will hold a banquet at the palace tonight, welcome Captain Zhongli to join the army of the palace.”
Zhongli’s smile gradually brightened upon hearing this.
He is extremely disgusted with the Yuan family now.
Being able to go under King Yan’s command, he only felt like a fish in water.
After saying a few more words, Zhao Xu asked Chang Wei to settle down Zhongli and his soldiers.
That night, he held a banquet in the palace to entertain Zhong Li, and also called the generals of the army to accompany him.
Drink three rounds.
Everyone is in high spirits.
Zhong Li suddenly said: “Your Highness, Yuan Li’s assassination of General Mo is a major crime. It’s just a pity that there is no time to capture a soldier of the Yuan family in the future. It’s a pity.
” , I am lucky to have come to Yancheng safely.” Zhao Xu said.
“As for the assassination, regardless of whether there is evidence or not, this king will submit a copy of Yuan Li’s book, and I believe General Mo Di will also submit a copy, so that the court will punish him.” Zhao Xu said.
Zhong Li nodded upon hearing this.
Zhao Xu went on to say: “But this is not what this king is most worried about. This king is worried about Yuan Li’s motive for killing General Mo.”
Then, he shared the information he got with everyone.
Zhong Li, Chang Wei and the others heard this, and they were mostly sober from the wine, only to feel a chill in their backs.
Chang Wei said: “Your Highness, you should keep an eye on Yuan’s family at the moment, and let the soldiers of the royal family’s army prepare for unexpected changes.”
“This is exactly what this king wants to say. This king has sent someone to Fan Yang , to monitor the Yuan family, and the preparations in the army will be handed over to you all,” Zhao Xu said.
Chang Wei nodded solemnly.
…
Late at night.
A bright moon hangs high in the sky, its cold brilliance drowns out the stars and monopolizes the dark sky.
The silver light shines down, reflecting the white snow in Yanshan Mountain into a cold white awn.
The snow-covered Yanshan Mountain is difficult to pass in such a season.
At this time, there was a young man trekking hard on the trail leading to the grassland.
After passing through Yanshan Mountain and reaching the grassland, the man heaved a sigh of relief, looked back at Yanshan Mountain, and headed for the Black Iron King’s Tent.
“Your Majesty, the Yuan family failed to assassinate Mo Zhai.”
At dusk, this person appeared in Enke’s king’s tent.
Enke frowned, hearing the bad news just after getting up, spoiled his mood.
“The commander went to the Yuan Mansion and told Yuan Li about the king’s news, and told him to wait for our news.” The young man continued.
Enke nodded.
Although Mo Di didn’t die, he left behind, and this was the trap he set for the Yuan family.
The certificate of honor is like a sharp sword hanging over the Yuan family’s head.
The Yuan family could only obey him.
“Very well, you stay in the king’s tent for the time being. I will go to the Khan Court and personally invite the Khan. When I return, you will send the news back to Yanzhou.” Enke’s brows stretched a little.
If the assassination of Mo Di failed, he still had a second strategy, which was to let the Yuan family cooperate with Beidi’s army to attack Yanzhou.
once.
Beidi’s army fought at Yanguan several times, but they didn’t get any cheap.
But this time, if the inside and the outside can cooperate, it may be an opportunity for Beidi to go south.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t wait to get people ready to go to the royal court.
This thing has to be fast.
If Yuan Li failed to assassinate Mo Di, he would definitely be criticized by Mo Di.
If the imperial court becomes suspicious of the Yuan family and takes precautions, the good opportunity to go south will disappear.
Therefore, he had to let the Khan attack before the Dasong court could react.
At this time, a cold wind swept in from outside the king’s tent, and Enke’s face was colder than in winter. He said one word after another: “King Yan, after you break through, it will be your time of death.”
