Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 469, Fu Su is in danger! Xiong Qi’s real plan! (1w!)

"These matters are far-reaching, so you can make your own decision. It is not convenient for you to live with these little girls these days. Let them go back to prepare after the old Donghuang and Bei Mingzi arrive." Xunzi said.

"Yes." Ziyou said.

"Hundreds of families gather in Xianyang these days, and people are mixed. You have to be more careful." Xunzi told Ziyou.

Ziyou was stunned for a moment, but still smiled and said

"I hope they can jump out, which will save me a lot of effort."

Xunzi just smiled and said nothing, and then Xunzi left the King's Master's Mansion and went to the Daqin Academy. Xunzi was still offering wine at the Great Qin Academy, so it was unreasonable for him not to take a look. All the Confucian disciples brought by Xunzi followed him, and only Fu Nian and Yan Lu stayed.

"Junior brother, you should pay more attention to what your uncle says. I heard some news in Qi State." Fu Nian said.

"What news?" Ziyou and Yan Lu asked curiously.

The two of them had left Little Saint Xian Manor for a long time, needless to say, Ziyou, and Yan Lu was sent by Confucianism to take charge of Confucianism's affairs in the Great Qin Academy, so the two of them didn't know anything about Qi Guo.

"There is a young master in the royal family of King Qi named Tian Zhan. He has been very close to Gu Liangru recently, and some people have seen that his retainers have frequent contact with the Zhang family." Fu Nian said.

Hearing Fu Nian's words, Ziyou remembered who Tian Zhan was. He was one of the people who raised the banner against Qin in the late Qin Dynasty and a member of the Qi royal family. After the Qin State was destroyed by the Qi State, Tian Dan and his cousins ​​Tian Rong and Tian Heng moved to Di County. They have strong local influence and powerful families, and they can win people's hearts.

Later, after the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the main force of the Qin army was encircling Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, so he designed to kill the county magistrate and proclaimed himself king. Then he attacked Zhou City, marched eastward, and restored the original territory of Qi.

It's a pity that Tian Zhan was the king of Qi for a long time before he was defeated by Zhang Han's troops. In the end, Tian Zhan's cousin Tian Dan's cousin Tian Rong gathered the remaining troops of Tian Dan and fled eastward to Dong'a. If the current Qin State was like the historical Qin State, Ziyou might still be wary of Tian Zhan, but in the current Qin State, even if Tian Zhan led Qi's 200,000 troops to resist Qin State, it would only take a month. Must be destroyed.

"Tian Zhan is related to the Zhang family. Please tell me, senior brother, to ask Xiaoshengxianzhuang to keep an eye on Tian Zhan." Ziyou said, asking the Confucians to help keep an eye on Tian Zhan instead of snaring him. Ziyou was worried that he might alert the snake. Since Tian Zhan and Zhang If there is a connection with the clan, it must be to achieve cooperation with Zhang Liang.

The current Qi State is still the mainstream of the Qin State. Especially since the Qi State abolished its armaments, the total number of troops in the country is only 200,000, and there is still a lack of training and updated armaments. The army is capable of leading troops to fight. There is not even a single general. Now the whole country of Qi is in the same state, in a bad state. As for the Qin State, the Qi State knew very well that since the Qin State made its own salt to meet the demand for salt, the trump card that the Qi State could use to control the Qin State was gone.

"I have sent people to keep an eye on Tian Zhan. One more thing, the queen's body has reached the point of no return. A year ago, the queen's body failed, but because she could not worry about the Qi State, she managed to survive. Today." Fu Nian said.

"It's a pity." Ziyou said with emotion. The queen is also a strange woman of her generation. She has stabilized the Qi country for more than 40 years, making it peaceful internally and without enemies from outside.

"Life and death are determined by fate. This cannot be forced." Yan Lu also said.

"That's all." Ziyou said helplessly.

Bai Feng suddenly appeared at the door.

"Sir, there is news from the palace. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to let Luo Net pass it back." Bai Feng said.

"Give it to me quickly." Ziyou said.

When Fu Nian and Yan Lu saw that Ziyou had something to deal with, they said goodbye to Ziyou. Ziyou didn't try to persuade them to stay. Anyway, Fu Nian and Yan Lu would be in Xianyang City from now on, so they would meet up with them if they had something to do.

Bai Feng handed the information Fusu sent back to Ziyou. After Ziyou opened it and took a quick glance, he thought for a moment and said

"This is not something Li Yuan can come up with. Although Li Yuan is good at hiding when he is weak, as long as he has a slight advantage, he will bite back unceremoniously and kill with one blow. Li Yuan also He is not a person who looks forward and backward. If it was his own idea, he might have asked the Imperial Guards of the Chu Palace to strangle the Chu clan and old dignitaries."

Li Yuan originally worked as a retainer in Chun Shenjun's house. When he was not as powerful as Chunshen Jun, he kept a low profile and hid his ambitions. However, as his wings became a little fuller, he sent Li Yuan to Chu Kaolie at the funeral of King Chu Kaolie. Assassinating Chun Shenjun in the street showed how ruthless and decisive Li Yuan was.

"Such a venomous snake actually created a enchantment array, and it was at such a high level. It was definitely not his method, but more like the handiwork of the Song family among Taoists." Ziyou said, although the Song Yin school is Taoist, but in Laozi's On the basis of this, they blend Confucian and Legalist thoughts and are good at finding flaws in various interpersonal relationships to break the situation. At the same time, they do not advocate using weapons to solve problems.

"The king asked you to decide how to deal with the affairs of Li Yuan and Chu State." Bai Feng said.

"His Royal Highness, they are very well prepared. Just do everything as they say. Is there any news from Yingdu?" Ziyou asked.

"Yes, they were sent back today. One letter was sent to the palace, and one letter was sent to the Taiwei's Mansion, along with His Highness the Crown Prince's." Bai Feng took out another letter.

After Ziyou opened it and took a look, his eyes widened because it was about Li Mu's assassination. Ziyou was shocked for two reasons. The first was that he was shocked by the stupidity of these assassins. It was not good to choose who to assassinate. He had to assassinate the great master Li Mu who was in the army. Not to mention Li Mu's own strength, he had few opponents. When Li Mu entered the city, he was surrounded by tens of thousands of Qin troops. Li Mu's strength in the army was doubled. The second reason was that Xiong Qi did not send the three thousand Yue female sword warriors to the battlefield, but kept them hidden in the dark. Ziyou couldn't help but be surprised by his determination.

"Is there any news about Chu Mo?" Ziyou asked.

"No, Luowang has not sent back any news about Chu State." Bai Feng said.

"No!" Ziyou's face suddenly turned serious.

According to previous intelligence, some people in Chu Mo and Tangxi Sword Alliance support Xiong Qi and Xiang Yan. Even if there are not many people in Chu Mo and Tangxi Sword Alliance, relying on the equipment created by Chu Mo can still Helping the Puppet Chu State to defend the city, but judging from the military reports sent back by Li Mu, no one of the three armies encountered resistance from Chu Mo. It seemed that Chu Mo had given up on Xiong Qi and Xiang Yan.

"Perhaps they knew that Chu's life was at an end and that helping Chu would be seeking death, so they withdrew early." Bai Feng said.

"No, if Chu Mo really did this, they would no longer be Chu Mo." Ziyou shook his head and said.

Anyone who has known Chu Mo carefully knows very well that Chu Mo would never do such a thing, otherwise Deng Lingzi would not have brought more than a hundred elite disciples of Chu Mo to help Song State resist Chu State's attack. Nor would they choose to support Xiang Yan and Xiong Qi without hesitation when other Mohist factions supported Qin.

"Or were they taken away by Zhang Liang before?" Bai Feng said.

"Previously, Luo Wang did find that Zhang Liang had taken away many people from the martial arts circles around Xiong Qi, but Chu Mo was not among them. After Zhang Liang left Chu State, Chu Mo was still active in Yingdu and helped Xiang Yan actively prepare military equipment." Ziyou shook his head and said.

Bai Feng could only keep his mouth shut when he saw that all his opinions were denied. He might have used his brain before, but after staying with Ziyou for a long time, he gradually forgot what it felt like to use his brain. Anyone who is surrounded by a person who is as smart as a demon and can break through illusions can see through things at a glance and can quickly think of ways to fight back. With such a person by his side, he doesn't need to use his brain. He only needs to follow orders.

"Oh no, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Ziyou said suddenly.

Now Fusu is still in Xiling of Qin State. Fusu has mobilized his troops to leave Xiling City. There will inevitably be vacancies in Xiling City. If Chu Mo really wants to assassinate Fusu, the 10,000 defenders will have to move the three-story building outside Fusu. Three layers of people surrounded him, otherwise they would not be able to stop Chu Mo at all. Back then, Deng Lingzi dared to lead people deep into Chu State to assassinate Shang Yang in Yueyang, not to mention that Fusu was still in Chu State, which was Chu Mo's territory.

Suddenly another idea appeared in Ziyou's mind about the situation in Chu State centered on Shouchun. The reason why Chu Mo did not appear on the battlefield in Yingdu was because Xiong Qi, Xiang Yan and Chu Mo all knew that the pseudo-Chu State could not stop the Qin State at all, and would be destroyed sooner or later, so Chu Mo's goal He never helped Xiang Yan defend the city, but looked for opportunities to kill Fusu.

Fusu is the confirmed second-generation successor of the Qin State. This is something that the whole world knows, and the Qin State has also built a set of second-generation officials around Fusu. The ministers of the Qin State also recognize that Fusu is the second-generation successor. As the acting heir, what if Fusu died suddenly? That was a bigger blow to Qin than killing Li Mu.

With the death of Fu Su, Qin's plans for the next hundred years will be disrupted, and the stable court structure will also end. What will follow will be the beginning of Ying Zheng's many sons vying for the throne, and Qin's ministers will also Start placing bets again, forming cliques, and starting party fights.

If Fusu dies, it will be a huge blow to Yingzheng. Any king can tolerate the corruption and incompetence of his ministers, but party strife alone is unbearable. Once a party struggle is formed, it can threaten the throne, influence government orders, and shake the foundation of the country. When the time comes, Yingzheng will inevitably clean up the Qin court. At that time, the century-old plan set up by the Qin State will completely turn into a dream. Although the Qin State will not immediately fall into the ending of history, it will have With Zhang Liang and other remnants of the Six Kingdoms doing all kinds of troubles, Qin won't be able to survive for many more years.

Chu Mo knew that Li Yuan wanted to support Fusu and become the king of Chu, so that Qin could conquer Chu without bloodshed. And they knew that no matter whether Li Yuan succeeded or not, there was only one fate for Chu State, so they lured the Chu State clan and old dignitaries to fight against Li Yuan, and began to make plans, in order to gradually let Qin State and Fusu focus all their efforts. Put it in Shouchun, and then attack Fusu in Xiling.

Such thoughts gave Ziyou a chill down his back. This was the first time Ziyou had such a feeling. If it was what he thought, Xiong Qi and Xiang Yan were using the last strength of the Chu State to deliver a death blow, and if this blow was successful, it would be a real serious injury to the Qin State. Shake the foundation of the country.

"No wonder, even if the Qin State uses its national power to crush the Puppet Chu State, relying on the characters of Xiang Yan and Xiong Qi, they would rather turn the places occupied by the Puppet Chu State into scorched earth than let Qin State capture it so easily. It turns out that all the The purpose is to buy time for Chu Mo and lower everyone's vigilance!" Ziyou said dryly.

Bai Feng looked at Ziyou who had never been nervous before, and his whole body became tense. He knew that something big was about to happen.

"Quickly, Bai Feng, go and notify Luo Wang and ask them to gather all their strength around His Royal Highness. Even if they go to the toilet, they must send someone to watch. Then notify Li Mu and Wang Jian and ask them to send an army to Xiling City immediately, even if it is We have to dig three feet into the ground to clear out all the Chu Mo forces hidden in Xiling City." Ziyou said anxiously, "No, you tell Mo Crow to stop caring about those people outside and blast them all away.

You and the Mo Crow soldiers split into two groups. You go and inform Li Mu and Wang Jian to let the Mo Ya soldiers attack Xiling City! "

"No!" Bai Feng saw Ziyou's anxious look and knew that this matter was not trivial, so he took action immediately.

Mo Ya, who was still dealing with people at the entrance of the King's Master's Mansion, was suddenly taken away by Bai Feng who appeared, leaving everyone confused.

"Sir, everyone has ordered to leave immediately!" Bai Feng said in a deep voice.

The soldiers in the King's Mansion also came out to clean up the people. Seeing that Ziyou was really trying to drive people away, the people who came to give gifts had no choice but to leave obediently. After Bai Feng told Mo Ya about Zi You's order, the two of them immediately took action.

The speed of the two of them was much faster than ordinary horses and flying pigeons delivering messages. Bai Feng directly summoned his mount Bai Fenghuang and headed towards Yingdu. Mo Ya, on the other hand, asked his crow to deliver the message to Luo Wang, while he used his Qinggong with all his strength to rush toward Xiling City.

"I hope I can catch up!" Ziyou said in a deep voice.

In Shouchun, in the Qin embassy, ​​Chang Wenjun also received Fusu's information, but he did not think as much as Ziyou thought. Instead, he was surprised that Fusu saw through Chen Wei's fake surrender and sent someone to mobilize Fei. Ling's army and his own escort.

"Fusu has really grown up, and our Qin Kingdom has a successor! Fusu will definitely become a wise king in the future!" Chang Wenjun said with emotion.

With emotion, Wanchang Wenjun got up, changed his clothes and left the Qin embassy, ​​but instead of looking for Li Yuan, he came to the yard of the eldest brother of the Song family. The eldest brother of the Song family came into contact with Chang Wenjun two days ago. Chang Wenjun didn't care much about it at first, but after the eldest brother of the Song family showed everything, Chang Wenjun realized that Taoism was not recognized by the Song Yin School. The Song family in the story is the driving force behind Li Yuan.

The eldest brother of the Song family also told the Song family that they hoped to get help from the Qin State. Chang Wenjun agreed after thinking that this matter was profitable, and the eldest brother of the Song family also told all the plans finalized by the Song family and Li Yuan. To Chang Wenjun.

"Mr. Song, there is news from the Crown Prince." Chang Wenjun handed Fusu's letter to the eldest brother of the Song family.

The eldest brother of the Song family stood up instantly after reading it. He also discovered that Chen Wei was indeed an unstable factor in their plan. Before, they only focused on wooing everyone they could, but they forgot to investigate Chen Wei's background.

"Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince is well aware of the situation. If we really put all our chips on Chen Wei, once Chen Wei rebels, we will fall short of our success, or even die without a burial place." The eldest brother of the Song family said.

"Now is the time to prepare that Chen Wei may be the enemy. We must mobilize Quyang's army, otherwise the Chu clan and the old dignitaries will inevitably realize that their plan may have been seen through, and choose to take action directly. If in Feiling Before their troops and our elite troops from Great Qin arrive, they launch an attack on Shouchun, and we will be really in danger," Chang Wenjun said.

"Including the journey on the road, Feiling's army should have traveled nearly half of the way now, and the elite Qin army should have arrived in Feiling and are heading towards Shouchun. We can use the trick. I am asking my brother to inform Li Yuan, ask him to mobilize Chen Wei in advance. As long as Chen Wei moves, the plans of the Chu clan and the old dignitaries will definitely go wrong. I am sending people to disguise themselves as Qin troops outside Caicheng, deliberately confusing Caicheng's audio and video. , so that they don’t dare to act rashly, in order to buy time." The eldest brother of the Song family said.

"When asking Li Yuan to mobilize Chen Wei, use the reason that Caicheng needs to be careful, let him divide the army, and let him lead a small group of people to Shouchun." Chang Wenjun suggested,

"Okay. I will inform the second brother right away." The eldest brother of the Song family said.

The eldest brother of the Song family was very fast. After conveying the news to Mr. Song, Mr. Song was also shocked. Although he hurriedly found Li Yuan and told Li Yuan about the loopholes in the plan, Li Yuan also became nervous. Even if he decided He directly sealed the city gate and used the imperial army to encircle and suppress the Chu clan and old dignitaries. He prepared to take action first, but was stopped by Mr. Song.

This made it clear about Feiling's army, and told Li Yuan about Chang Wenjun's proposal. After seeing a more appropriate solution, Li Yuan immediately began to mobilize Chen Wei without refusing.

Chen Wei was also confused after receiving the news from Li Yuan. The original plan discussed by Li Yuan with him was for him to go to Yingdu seven days later, but he did not expect it to be so far in advance. Then Chen Wei realized that he might have been exposed, but thought that Li Yuan still let him lead the troops, and gave up the idea, thinking that Li Yuan could not wait any longer and wanted to use the matter of making Fusu king to flatter him. Yu Ziyou used the Kingdom of Chu as a wedding gift for Ziyou.

"You are really a flattering villain." Chen Wei sneered, and then handed over the news that Li Yuan was planning to take action in advance, and asked him to go to Shouchun to inform the Chu clan and the old dignitaries to prepare for Li Yuan's attack. .

After the news spread back to Shouchun, Zongzheng Mikai of the Chu clan and Bai Bufan, the leader of the Bai clan, the representative of the old dignitaries, were also panicked. They did not expect that Li Yuan was planning to take action in advance, so they immediately summoned others. Discuss this matter.

After everyone arrived, Mi Kai told others about Li Yuan's advance action.

"What!? Li Yuan actually wants to take action in advance? Why did we only get the news now?" A powerful man said, patting the table.

"Yeah yeah!"

These powerful people came together because of their own interests. Now when danger comes, the first thing they think about is not how to deal with it, but running away from accountability.

"Silence, you are all the descendants of our heroes who founded the Chu State. How unbecoming are you to be so panicked when something happens now! You have all disgraced your ancestors!" Bai Bufan cursed at the many clamoring old dignitaries. .

After hearing Bai Bufan's words, some old dignitaries stopped talking on the spot, but there were also a small number of people who were not interested in Bai Bufan.

"Patriarch Bai, you are an elder. I shouldn't say this myself, but I have to say it now. All of us are following you and Zongzheng with our heads in our hands to work hard for the future of Chu State. Naturally, we people are not afraid I won't follow you to gamble if I'm afraid of death, but we can't die like this, right? You sent people to keep an eye on Li Yuan before, saying that he could see every move of Li Yuan clearly, and Li Yuan has fallen into our hands. Trap, as long as we follow the steps, we can defeat Li Yuan.

But now Li Yuan has taken action in advance. If Chen Wei hadn't conveyed the news to us, I'm afraid we would still have been confused when Li Yuan's sword cut off our heads. What's more, Li Yuan is so ruthless that he won't be able to kill just us. By then, our family may be wiped out by Li Yuan, and the sacrifice of our ancestors will be cut off! "A powerful man said. "You! "Bai Bufan squatted down and looked at the powerful man angrily with the crutch in his hand.

This powerful man looked at Bai Bufan without any fear. Although the Bai family has a high prestige among these old and powerful families, it does not mean that they are the only ones with high prestige. There are also other families that can equal them.

"Okay, now the enemy is facing us, and before Li Yuan comes, we have internal strife. How can we still complete the mission of reviving the Chu Kingdom? It's my problem that I didn't realize that Li Yuan wanted to take action in advance, everyone should take a step back. , now we are discussing how to deal with Li Yuan." Mi Kai stood up and said.

Seeing Mi Kai stand up and speak, Bai Bufan and the powerful man before him snorted and stopped arguing. Although they were not convinced, they still had to give some face to Mi Kai, the future leader of the Chu Kingdom they had chosen. of.

"If Li Yuan wants to take action against us, he must wait until Chen Wei arrives. Li Yuan's letter asked Chen Wei to divide his troops, one part to deal with Caicheng, and the other part to support Shouchun. We can let Chen Wei use the division of troops as an excuse to delay time.

It only takes two days for us to transport some of the armor and weapons from the armory and equip our men. What if Li Yuan has the Forbidden Army in his hands by then? We have tens of thousands of servants, servants, personal guards and tribesmen in total. Are we still worried that we won't be able to fight Li Yuan? What's more, there are the troops brought by Chen Wei, and Qu Yang is also one of ours. Chen Wei superficially divided his troops, pretended to open Shouchun's city gate, and then let the army hidden behind directly enter the city. Li Yuan will definitely be annihilated in one fell swoop. "Bai Bufan snorted coldly.

"Clan leader Bai Lao has a good idea. Li Yuan is not a fool. Chen Wei was recruited by Li Yuan. Will he be unprepared? He will definitely send people to keep an eye on Chen Wei. If Chen Wei appears to divide his troops, but actually comes with a large army, Will he still open the city gate of Shouchun? The armory is now strictly monitored by Li Yuan. If we rush to get armor and weapons, Li Yuan will definitely know about it. I don't know if Li Yuan will die by then, but Your Bai clan will definitely be beheaded by Li Yuan." The powerful man from before said coldly.

"You!!" Bai Bufan picked up his crutch and was about to throw it at the powerful man.

Fortunately, the person on the side quickly stopped Bai Bufan with quick eyes and hands.

"Don't you just think that Zong Zheng promised Ling Yin's position to me after everything was done, so you feel dissatisfied and that's why you humiliated me like this!" Bai Bufan cursed at the powerful man.

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied with Zongzheng's decision, but I'm worried that you won't be able to serve as Ling Yin. You are old and dim now, and you have the same old ideas in your mind. You still think that Shouchun now is the horse of our powerful people? What if you are like this? People who lead us, it’s hard to say whether we can defeat Li Yuan!" The powerful man who had his thoughts exposed also retorted in anger.

The people around them could only step forward to stop the two people who wanted to take action. Others were also well aware of the conflict between the two. The reason why they gathered together was for profit, and Zongzheng Mikai promised them that as long as he succeeded, after he became the king of Chu, he would reward them with all the official positions in Chu State to these meritorious ministers.

This kind of promise is normal, but there are only so many official positions in Chu State. If you give them to others, you won't have them. Therefore, some people are not convinced by the positions they get, so they feel dissatisfied.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet. It's my decision to hand over Ling Yin to Chief Bai. This is what our Chu clan owes to the Bai clan. If you have any questions, you can come to me." Mi Kai said coldly.

"I naturally support Zongzheng's decision, but Patriarch Bai's method is indeed inappropriate." The powerful man broke away from the control of the people around him and straightened his clothes and said.

"Then what good idea do you have?" Mi Kai asked.

"Li Yuan takes action in advance. He will definitely not dare to attack the clan directly, otherwise he will be despised by the entire Chu people. And his target must be us people. We can divide our troops into two groups. We are responsible for resisting Li Yuan. Although Our clansmen and servants are no match for the imperial guards selected from the Shenxi Army, but they can also resist their attack. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zongzheng, you will lead the clan to capture the city gate. As long as we control After entering the city gate, he opened the city gate and handed it over to Chen Wei, who asked Chen Wei to lead the troops he brought to surround the imperial guards from the rear. When the time comes, they will attack from both front and rear, and the imperial guards will definitely not be their opponents.

At that time, we controlled Shouchun, and Li Yuan was not a turtle in the urn, and was at our mercy. " said the powerful man.

"Good idea!" Mi Kai said happily. This method is much better than the one proposed by Bai Bufan. Bai Bufan wanted to have a head-on confrontation with Li Yuan, which would cause them heavy losses, which Mi Kai did not want to see. , and the second method is to retreat in order to advance. As long as they huddle in their respective mansions, the loss of dragging the guards by the courtyard wall will be much less, and the risk is very small.

Seeing that Mi Kai also supported the second method, Bai Bufan's face looked a little ugly.

"That's a good idea." "Yes, that's a good idea." Others also agreed.

The second method does not require charging into battle. They can effectively retain their strength. Once there is a real confrontation with the imperial guards, their people will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. Once their strength is damaged, Mi Kai will become the King of Chu in the future. Later, when they compete for interests again, they will definitely be at a disadvantage, so they don't want to see this situation. But the second method is different. They don't have to fight, they only need to defend. As for the loss, it depends on who is unlucky enough to be targeted by Li Yuan first.

Bai Bufan suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart when he saw these powerful people who only cared about their own interests. Although he had his own plans to support Mi Kai to become the King of Chu, his ultimate goal was not to let the Chu Kingdom fall into the hands of others. In the hands of others, he did not expect that the purpose of these people he attracted was only their own interests, and they completely forgot about Chu State.

Looking at these powerful people who were immersed in how much profit they might share after Mi Kai became King of Chu, Bai Bufan suddenly laughed.

"Hahahaha, this is indeed a good idea." Bai Bufan said with a smile.

Seeing Bai Bufan's smile, everyone felt their scalps go numb. They looked at each other in confusion, wondering if Bai Bufan was so angry that evil energy entered his body, making him go crazy.

"Since you all think this method is a good one, then follow this method." After Bai Bufan said this, he turned around and left.

The remaining dignitaries shrugged helplessly and began to go back to prepare their own plans. They had no idea that Feiling's army had quietly arrived outside Ziah Shouchun City.

In Xiling City.

Several men were sitting around a wine shop, drinking wine, but their eyes were on the patrol team on the street.

"This team has been patrolling the streets for the fifth time today, and the Qin army in Xiling City has indeed been transferred." One of them said.

They were Chu Mo who was hiding, and their goal was indeed Fusu. Rather than trying to save the Chu State from the hands of the Qin army, it would be better to pull the trigger and kill Fusu to cut off the future of the Qin State. After learning that Xiang Qu's attack on Xiling failed, they began to gradually infiltrate Xiling City, secretly observing every move in Xiling City, looking for opportunities.

"This team used to patrol twice a day, but now it has been patrolled five times. It seems that the Qin army has mobilized no less than 10,000 people. Our opportunity has come." Another person said.

"Have the three thousand Yue female sword warriors arrived?"

"Not yet. Ordinarily they should have arrived a long time ago." One of them said. Although they, Chu Mo, were brave enough, it was really impossible for them to assassinate Fusu and leave safely in Xiling City, which was guarded by thousands of people, so they Someone needs to involve the Qin army. And only the three thousand Yue female sword warriors who could control the elites of the Qin army of ten thousand people in their hands could do so.

"No waiting, this is a rare opportunity. If we miss it, we don't know how long we will have to wait."

"No, wait a minute. Chang Wenjun is Fusu's uncle. He will definitely not ignore death. Maybe he will send more people to support Chang Wenjun. We can also wait for the Yue Nv Swordsman while we have the opportunity. Shouchun is far away from Xiling, and these troops will not be able to come back for a while," one person said.

"Okay." Several people nodded in agreement with this method, and if they want to assassinate Fusu, they must choose the right opportunity. There are hundreds of them sneaking into Xiling City, and it will take time to gather them together. It will also take time to plan and arrange how to assassinate. They are waiting Affordable.

At this time, Fusu didn't know that he was Chu Mo's real target, and Bai Feng and Mo Ya were also rushing to Yingdu and Xiling with all their strength.

Two days later, Shouchun.

The sudden arrival of an autumn rain adds an even more dangerous atmosphere to Shouchun's already depressing atmosphere. The sky was dark, thunder fell from time to time, and the rain pattered on the house, forming water along the tiles and falling to the ground.

In the Chu Palace, Li Yuan stood in the rain wearing armor. In front of him were five thousand Chu Palace guards. The rain hit their armors with a crisp and soft sound. The spears, longges and swords were washed away by the heavy rain. Appearing gloomy.

"Your Majesty, the Zongzheng Mikai and Bai families intend to rebel while the king is ill. I have been specially ordered to summon the imperial army to encircle and suppress them. Now the army is divided into two groups. The first one is led by Mr. Song, with three to five hundred imperial guards to attack the Bai family. clan. The remaining 1,500 people will follow me to surround the clan and kill Mi Kai!" Li Yuan ordered.

Gao Cheng, the imperial guard who had long obeyed Li Yuan's orders,

"promise!"

Then Li Yuan and Mr. Song led the imperial troops separately and headed towards Shifang where the clan and the Bai family were located.

Under the heavy rain, there was no one on the streets of Shouchun. The guards headed towards their destination in an orderly manner. Under the rain curtain, there was a murderous killing. Shouchun was bound to shed blood.

At the top of Shouchun City, Chang Wenjun took the Feiling army and the original defenders who had already sneaked into the city to form a tight formation, waiting for Chen Wei who was about to arrive.

Outside Shouchun City, Chen Wei was heading towards Shouchun with eight thousand soldiers.

"Have the people behind followed you?" Chen Wei asked.

"The news that the army has arrived has deceived the spies sent by Li Yuan. They set out one day later than us, but faster than us. They are only fifty miles away from Shouchun." said the deputy general.

"Okay, move forward quickly. There should be a fight in the city at this time." Chen Wei said.

"promise!"

The army then quickly moved towards Shouchun.

Suddenly three arrows rang out in the gloomy sky in Shouchun City. The imperial guards led by Mr. Song and Li Yuan had already fought against the clan and the Bai clan.

"Li Yuan, you traitor, you want to betray our country of Chu and seek glory. I, Mi Kai, will definitely not let you succeed!" Mi Kai stood on the wall of Zongzheng Mansion and shouted to Li Yuan below.

"Hmph! Mi Kai, you united some families and wanted to take advantage of the king's serious illness to rebel in the city and seize the throne. Now you dare to accuse me of being a traitor. Originally, I thought I would let you go as long as you surrender, but now It seems you are stubborn." Li Yuan said, stroking his mustache.

"People inside, listen, I know that you were deceived by Mi Kai to join the rebellion. As long as you surrender, I can let you go, but if you go on in a dark way, the whole clan will be executed!"

"Li Yuan, I am a descendant of the clan. I should be loyal to the Chu State in my life, and I should guard the soul of the Chu State in my death! Stop talking nonsense, there is no way we will surrender!" Mi Kai shouted in the heavy rain.

"Okay, okay, if that's the case, let's all charge! Leave no one behind!" Li Yuan ordered to the guards.

"Hold!" Mi Kai shouted.

The imperial guards then rushed towards Zongzheng Mansion, and the clan disciples and domestic servants and private guards guarding Zongzheng Mansion also began to fight back. Bows and arrows were continuously shot out under the rain curtain, and living lives continued to fall in the rain curtain. The bright red blood mixed with the rainwater formed a small river on the ground.

The few domestic servants and private guards commanded by Mikai continued to resist the attacks of the imperial guards. Mikai was only used to attract Li Yuan's attention. All the main forces of the clan were sent to the city wall to rob Shouchun. The door is open.

At this time, the market where the Bai clan was located was already covered with blood. The imperial guards led by Mr. Song had already broken into the Bai clan's mansion and were massacring the Bai clan. After massacring the Bai clan, Mr. Song led the The people then moved towards the next family.

There was also a fierce fighting outside the city gate of Shouchun. The Chu clan led more than 2,000 servants and private guards to seize the city. Originally, there were only more than 1,000 soldiers guarding the city gate of Shouchun. Two thousand of them were enough. They captured it, but they did not expect that Feiling's five thousand soldiers had entered the city last night. More than two thousand people were quickly killed in the face of the siege of six thousand people.

Chen Wei, who had already arrived in Shouchun, arrived.

"I am Chen Wei, the guard of Quyang. I have been ordered by Master Yin to enter the city to defend the palace. Open the door quickly!" Chen Wei shouted in front of Shouchun City.

Chang Wenjun shouted to the bottom

"General Chen, wait a moment, we will open the city gate right now!"

Chang Wenjun nodded to his men, and they immediately lowered the suspension bridge. When Chen Wei saw this scene, he immediately led the army towards the city gate. When Chen Wei was waiting for the city gate to open, Chang Wenjun shouted

"Fire arrows!"

The soldiers on the city wall who had been prepared for a long time immediately fired arrows downwards. The army below the city was caught off guard by this sudden attack and suffered heavy losses. Seeing this, Chen Wei shouted at the city gate

"I was under orders from Lord Ling Yin, how dare you attack me?"

"You are the one who is being beaten. Chen Wei, the collusion between you and the old dignitaries has long been exposed." Chang Wenjun shouted, and then asked the soldiers to shoot arrows.

Chen Wei, who was hiding on the city wall, was stunned at this moment. He did not expect that he would be exposed. He was panicked at first, but he thought that there were only a thousand defenders at the Shouchun Gate. As long as he waited a moment for his army to arrive, he would be able to break through Shouchun directly. .

But what Chen Wei didn't expect was that the army he had pinned his hopes on had been ambushed by 10,000 elite Qin troops, and 20,000 people were beaten by the 10,000 Qin troops, leaving behind their armor and fleeing.

Xiling City.

The heavy rain continued to fall. Fusu lit the candle and was reading the book in his hand. He did not realize that several men in black had quietly climbed over the wall and sneaked into the other courtyard.

After sensing that it was safe, several men in black sent signals to the outside, and about a dozen men in black also climbed over the wall and entered the other courtyard. At the same time, people in black climbed over the wall in several different places in the other courtyard.

These people were Chu Mo's killers, and they silently headed towards the room where Fusu was.
