Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 440
[Chapter 440]
Lu Longshan Road.
It is the only way from Pingjun to Fanyang.
In the darkness of night, the soldiers of the palace quietly passed by here.
At this time, a bright moon hung in the sky, and the moonlight poured down from the branches of the trees, leaving behind the shadows of the trees.
“Coo coo…”
At this moment, accompanied by the sound of flapping wings, there was the sound of pigeons chirping.
Chang Weimeng raised his head, only to see a black shadow passing by the moon.
“General, what’s the matter?” Seeing that Chang Wei stopped suddenly, Lu Chang couldn’t help asking.
“In the middle of the night, where did the pigeon come from?” Chang Wei looked puzzled.
“Isn’t it normal to have pigeons in the mountains?” Lu Chang didn’t take it seriously, “The general is now like His Highness, becoming more and more cautious.”
Chang Wei glared at Lu Chang, “Be careful to make the Wannian ship, you think everyone will be with you.” Are you the same, is your mind full of mud?”
After looking suspiciously at the direction where the pigeon flew up for a while, he ordered a group of soldiers to investigate.
Not long after, the soldiers came back and found nothing unusual.
Frowning, Chang Wei sent a few more teams of scouts to inspect.
At this moment, above the night sky.
The flying pigeon went straight to Fan Yangcheng, and the next morning, the pigeon landed in front of Yuan’s mansion.
Yuan Jiajia Ding, who was out cleaning, immediately spotted the pigeon and noticed the bamboo pipes tied to the pigeon’s legs.
Pulling out the note from the bamboo tube, the servant’s face changed drastically, and he hurried to look for Yuan Li.
“The army of King Yan is marching towards Fan Yang?” Yuan Li was eating breakfast, when he heard this, the chopsticks fell on the table with a “bang”.
Quickly getting up and coming to the servant, Yuan Li read the note several times, and suddenly beads of sweat appeared on his head.
“Who is helping me? Is this news true or not?” Yuan Li couldn’t get rid of two questions in his mind.
Although their Yuan family has their own detailed work.
But during this period of time, the Yuan family did not go to Lulong Mountain.
It wasn’t the Yuan family’s secret work, who was watching the movement of King Yan’s soldiers and horses, and passed this news to himself?
Really unable to think of who it was, Yuan Li decided to put this matter behind him.
It’s still a matter of survival.
This time the king of Yan sent an army to visit Fan Yang.
Although his strategy of fake ban was perfect, no one could find any evidence related to him.
But Yan Wang must be the first to doubt himself.
If he went crazy and took advantage of this chaos, regardless of whether he was going to be killed first, he would definitely be unable to escape.
“Call Yuan Feng here immediately.” Yuan Li’s palms were also sweating.
Lulong Mountain is only half a day away from Fan Yang.
If, as the note said, King Yan’s soldiers and horses were on the move day and night.
When you wake up tomorrow morning, the entire Fanyang City will be surrounded by King Yan’s troops.
In the last battle of Yanguan, the Yuan family’s elite fled back to Fanyang when the king of Yan fought with 30,000 troops.
This time he is even more unlikely to be his opponent.
Even if they fight to the death, they can only hurt King Yan three points, and his Yuan family will have no possibility of survival.
In the time it took for a cup of tea, Yuan Feng arrived.
He was also taken aback when he learned that King Yan’s army was about to arrive.
“My lord, what should I do? Although during this period of time, the wealthy family supported many private soldiers and filled the Yuan family’s army, but these soldiers are mixed with fish and dragons. How could they be the opponents of King Yan’s army?” Yuan Feng said.
Yuan Li said solemnly, “So, you immediately take the Yuan family’s elite soldiers and follow me to Qizhou and join Han Qi.”
Sighing, he said: “I, Yuan Li, have a higher heart than the sky. I have been planning for so many years. In order to be on par with the eight powerful families and occupy a place in Dasong, I never thought that I would have to rely on his Han family in the end.”
Since King Yan sent troops to kill him , which means that he no longer cares about the court and the emperor.
Too.
Now the northwest of Dasong is in chaos, no one can tell what will happen in Dasong in the future.
If Zhao Heng is captured, Da Song will surely fall into chaos.
In such a chaotic situation, even if he is the king of Yan, he will take the opportunity to get rid of the cowardly enemies.
“As the saying goes, as long as the green hills are there, we don’t have to worry about running out of firewood. The 60,000 elite members of the Yuan family will always be loyal to the head of the family.” Yuan Feng said.
Yuan Li nodded slowly, “You immediately mobilize troops and horses to set off, Fan Yangcheng only leaves the county soldiers and private soldiers of the noble family.”
He still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
If King Yan’s soldiers and horses hadn’t come to kill him, he could have come back.
If King Yan really came to kill him, he wouldn’t feel sorry for the death of the county soldiers and private soldiers of the wealthy family.
Yuan Feng answered yes, turned and left.
At this moment, the housekeeper suddenly came to report that Yuan’s family had discovered that King Yan’s troops had arrived forty miles away from Fanyang City.
“Why so fast, isn’t it day and night?” Yuan Li trembled.
After finishing speaking, he stomped his feet and immediately asked the housekeeper to pack up his things and flee south.
…
Fanyang County, south of Wen’an County.
The soldiers and horses of the palace are rushing towards Fan Yang.
Immediately, Chang Wei’s face was serious.
After thinking about it half the night, he was still worried.
Originally, he wanted to lead the soldiers to find a place to rest overnight.
But just to be on the safe side, he decided to rush to Fan Yang first.
After the siege, let the soldiers rest.
In case their actions were detected as he suspected, Yuan Li would definitely run away.
An hour and a half later, the exhausted soldiers and horses of the palace arrived at Fan Yang’s city.
But when he saw the panicked soldiers in mottled military uniforms on the top of the city, and the defenseless city, his heart sank.
Yuan Li is afraid that he has already escaped.
“The one below is General Chang. I don’t know what General Chang is doing here in Fan Yang?” A wealthy official on the top of the city said tremblingly.
Both Yuan Li and Yuan Feng fled, as did the other core members of the Yuan family.
These unimportant wealthy officials were left in Fanyang City to test the intention of King Yan’s soldiers and horses.
“His Royal Highness King Yan captured Zhuoge, the spy of Beidi, and his confession that Yuan Li colluded with Beidi, falsely preached the imperial decree, and impersonated the Imperial Army. This crime is equivalent to conspiracy, and His Highness ordered this general to come and arrest him.” Chang Wei said proudly, “So, Er Open the city gate quickly, otherwise, when the general captures the city, you will all be punished as treason.” Hearing the
words, the officials and generals in the city who knew the inside story suddenly turned pale, and were frightened out of their wits.
The Yuan family did do these two outrageous things.
“Are you deaf? Hurry up and open the city gate.” Lu Chang shouted taking advantage of the situation.
His loud voice made the Yuan family officials and generals in the city tremble again.
It’s just that although they were afraid, none of them wanted to take the risk and hand over Fan Yangcheng to King Yan’s army.
Chang Wei snorted coldly, and didn’t bother to talk nonsense with these officials and generals, so he immediately dispatched artillery.
Yuan Li escaped, so he naturally didn’t have time to deploy defenses inside and outside Fanyang City.
Therefore, he wanted to blast open the gate of Fan Yangcheng with artillery.
Before he set off, King Yan and he had discussed two possibilities with him, and also imagined the situation where Yuan Li found out in advance and escaped from Fan Yang.
According to King Yan.
It is good for Yuan Li to be in Fan Yang, and he can take this opportunity to take him down.
If not, it doesn’t affect anything.
This time he led the troops south, besides cleaning up Yuan Li, he also had another important task.
This task is to take the opportunity to attack the nobles in Yanzhou in the three southern counties in the name of clearing up the rebellion, and rescue the people from the land of the nobles.
Didn’t he, Yuan Li, play a conspiracy to let the rich families of Ping County and Liao County flee south and take away a lot of wealth from the two counties at the same time?
This time, he wants to get it all back, and double it.
Thinking of this, Chang Wei roared, “Let them taste the power of artillery.”
