"What on earth is going on?" Gao Kuo asked with a frown.

Wei Yun took a long breath, and after calming down the anger in his heart, he said: "I don't know exactly how. I will lead you to see the two generals Xia Yu and Meng Ben..."

After that, Wei Yun led Gao Kuo and recruited the group into Puyang.

At this time, in Puyang City, the fierce general Meng Ben was leading the Eastern Army to storm the inner city, where the royal palace was located, while Xia Yu occupied the east and south cities of Puyang City, assisting Meng Bi on the one hand, and on the other hand, resisting Puyang who was trying to regain the lost ground.

The army was so strong that the whole Puyang was in chaos.

It is worth mentioning that among the troops trying to stop the Eastern Army's crazy move of "storming the palace", there were also troops under the command of Danyuan Marquis Wei Zhen.

Of course, this does not mean that Tan Yuanhou Wei Zhen defected before the battle and returned to the Western Army's camp, but that he could not accept the various revenge behaviors of the Eastern Army after Wei Gong Ziyu's death. Therefore, in trying to dissuade Xia Yu and Meng Ben, they failed

Under the circumstances, Tan Yuanhou Wei Zhen led his troops to separate from the Eastern Army and occupy the west and northwest of the city. On the one hand, he prevented the Eastern Army from attacking the palace, and on the other hand, he protected the people in the area. It is no exaggeration to say that this is currently the most rational army in Puyang City.

, I’m afraid it only belongs to the Tan Yuan Army.

"Report! Wang Street in Beicheng was recaptured by the Puyang Army!"

"Report! Zhou's Rice Shop in Linqu Lane was recaptured by the Puyang Army!"

"Report! Our army has captured the east entrance of Liuxiang and is attacking the west entrance..."

In a deep house that served as a temporary headquarters, General Xia Yu of the Eastern Army stood in the room, looking at a map of Puyang City on the table with bright eyes, and issuing general orders from time to time.

Suddenly, Xia Yu asked in a deep voice: "Has Meng Ben not yet captured the palace?"

"Not yet." Zuo Zuo replied.

Seeing this, Xia Yu slammed the table in front of him.

At this moment, a soldier came in and reported: "General, someone from Wei State wants to see the general. They say they are men sent by the King of Wei to thoroughly investigate the cause of the son's death."

"..."

Xia Yu was slightly stunned. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Invite them in."

After a while, Gao Kuo, Zhong Zhao and several Green Crows, led by Ranger Wei Yun, arrived at the commander's office.

Out of respect for the Wei envoy, Xia Yu personally went out to welcome Gao Kuo and Zhongzhao out of the house. Then he ordered his soldiers to serve tea: "At this critical moment, there is no good tea to entertain them.

Dear envoys, I ask these two distinguished envoys not to blame you."

After that, when he saw Gao Kuo, he waved his hand to show that he didn't mind, and asked respectfully: "I wonder what you call them?"

"I am the Zongwei of the Great Wei Dynasty, Gao Kuo, the Zuodu Lieutenant of Tiance Mansion. He is my deputy, Zhongzhao." Gao Kuo briefly introduced himself.

"His Majesty the King of Wei's cronies..." Xia Yu nodded to show that he understood, and then asked with a wry smile: "His Majesty the King of Wei, have you heard about the murder of His Royal Highness?"

Gao Kuo nodded and replied: "After learning that Gong Ziyu was killed, our Majesty Long Yan was furious and ordered us to come and find out the truth... General Xia, what is going on? As far as Gao knows, your army is here

When they attacked Puyang, they still had the upper hand, so why was Gong Ziyu killed?"

Hearing this, Xia Yu's eyes flashed with deep hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Just because of the security fee, Wei Jie and his son are despicable and cunning!"

As he spoke, he slowly told what happened.

As Gao Kuo said, when the Eastern Army attacked Puyang City half a month ago, it was indeed the Eastern Army that had the advantage.

More importantly, Wei man Zhang Qigong secretly helped Xia Yu defeat Xiao Luan, who was stationed in Fan County at the time, and eliminated the hidden danger of the Eastern Army in the grain road. After that, Zhang Qigong and Bei Gongyu escorted Xiao Luan to Daliang, and

Xia Yuze led

The soldiers and horses under his command returned to Puyang again. It is no exaggeration to say that Puyang had no chance of winning at that time. Although the Puyang Army was indeed stronger than the Eastern Army, everyone could see that it was only a matter of time before Puyang was captured by the Eastern Army.

Under this situation, Wei Gong Ziyu considered that the Western Army and the Eastern Army had suffered many casualties, and these soldiers who died in the battle were all the sons of Wei State. He couldn't bear it, so he personally came forward to persuade Puyang to surrender, hoping that Puyang City would give up resistance.

However, there was no response from King Fei of Wei. Only Prince Jie stood on the tower at that time and accused Prince Wei of leading an army to attack Puyang as usurping the throne and treason.

In order to show his sincerity, Gong Ziyu brought fifty Changchai rangers into the city, regardless of the obstruction of Xia Yu, Meng Bi and others, hoping to persuade his father, Wei Fei, to hand over state power face to face.

But what I didn't expect was that Puyang suddenly launched an attack at this time, detained Wei Yu, threatened Xia Yu, Meng Ben and others to disband the army, and captured him without mercy.

Seeing that Puyang was so despicable and shameless, even Tanyuan Hou Wei Zhen couldn't stand it. Privately, he and Meng Ben, who had given advice to Xia Yu, decided to pretend to obey Puyang's order and wait for an opportunity to rescue the young master Wei Yu.

Just when Xia Yu, Meng Bi and Tan Yuanhou Wei Zhen were secretly planning to rescue Wei Gong Ziyu, there were nobles in Puyang City who were friends with Wei Gong Ziyu and sent their guards to sneak out of the city and tell Xia Yu that Meng Bi

, saying that Wei Gong Ziyu has been harmed by Gongzi Jie.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yu and Meng Ben were immediately furious and immediately raised their troops to attack Puyang.

As the saying goes, a sad soldier will win, and Wei Yu's status in the hearts of the soldiers of the Eastern Army is unparalleled. Now that they know that this respectable prince has been harmed, the soldiers of the Eastern Army are filled with anger.

At first, Tan Yuan Hou Weizhen was not angry about Puyang's actions and assisted the Eastern Army in attacking Puyang. However, after the city was defeated, Tan Yuan Hou Weizhen felt that the trouble was getting bigger and bigger, and even the Puyang Army and the Eastern Army were fighting each other, which had already caused disaster.

The people who came to the city, therefore, after failing to dissuade Xia Yu and Meng Ben, they parted ways.

Waiting for Xia Yu to tell the complete story of the cause and effect, Gao Kuo and Zhong Zhao looked at each other.

They sincerely felt that Duke Wei Ziyu was a bit... pedantic. To show his sincerity, he personally went to the city to persuade him to surrender? Wouldn't this be asking for death?

However, after thinking about it, Gao Kuo felt a little strange again and asked Xia Yu: "General Xia Yu and Gong Ziyu, were they really killed by Gongzi Jie?"

Xia Yu nodded and said bitterly: "On the first day when I decided to attack Puyang, I personally questioned Wei Jie, hoping to see the young master. I never thought that this person would hesitate and talk about him with excuses, and wait for Xia to expose the young master.

After being harmed by him, he looked frightened again...Young master, he must have been harmed by him!"

"..."

Gao Kuo and Zhong Zhao looked at each other, still feeling a little strange.

They knew that Wei Jie, a tough-tempered guy, how could he have the guts to harm Wei Yu?

Could there be something fishy about this?

At the same time, in the side hall of the palace, the young master they called Jie was pacing back and forth in the hall with an anxious look on his face, murmuring to himself: "I can't stop it, I can't stop it, Meng Ben is that."

Damn this reckless man is about to break into the palace... Damn it! Who killed Wei Yu?!"

After saying that, he glanced around at the few confidants in the palace and asked sternly: "Who are you waiting for?!"

There were about four or five close friends in the hall waving their hands.

"Sir, I don't have one."

"How dare you, a villain?"

"Wei Yu was imprisoned in my house that day, and I asked you to send someone to guard him. If it wasn't you, then who could it be?!" Wei Jie roared angrily.

Several close followers looked at each other, lowering their heads and not daring to answer.

In fact, they couldn't figure it out. Wei Yu was locked up in the house, so why did he die overnight?

After glaring at these people fiercely, Wei Jie turned to look at a middle-aged man standing nearby who was estimated to be in his forties, and said anxiously: "Jin Xu, what do you think we should do now? ...

Get up, this idea is yours, you must solve it for me!"

The middle-aged man named Jin Xu helplessly spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Sir, I really suggest that you lure Wei Yu into the city, take the opportunity to subdue him, and use it to threaten the Eastern Army outside the city. But

I did not suggest that you kill Wei Yu..."

"you"

Wei Jie glared at Jin Xu fiercely, and then said as if he was frustrated: "I didn't ask anyone to harm Wei Yu. I wonder if some bastard who suffered a thousand cuts put the blame on me..."

Seeing Wei Jie's furious look, the middle-aged man named Jin Xu smiled without leaving any trace.

A closer look at this person revealed that this Jin Xu was not a stranger. He was the jailer Jin Xu who was lurking with Xiao Luan in the Dali Temple in Daliang City, Wei State, and was Xiao Luan's right-hand man.

"...What an idiot!"

Looking at the furious Young Master Jie, Jin Xu secretly sneered in his heart.

Yes, neither King Fei of Wei nor Gongzi Jie actually had any intention of harming Wei Yu. The one who really did it was Jin Xu, who was sent to Gongzi Jie by Xiao Luan as the "deputy general of Dunqiu Army".

The purpose is to take the opportunity to get rid of Wei Yu.

Getting rid of Wei Yu will have various benefits for Xiao Luan, Jin Xu and others.

First of all, there are various signs that Wei Yu is about to take action against them. In this case, Xiao Luan, Jin Xu and others naturally have to take action first to eliminate this hidden danger.

Furthermore, Wei Yu's death will lead to great internal chaos in Wei State.

Only in a chaotic situation can Fu Weijun, led by Xiao Luan, Jin Xu and others, have a chance to fish in troubled waters.

"... When the Wei State is in chaos, the best outcome is that the Wei State will stand still due to various scruples, but as soon as Wei Yu dies, the rest of the people will not know the details of our army. The worst outcome is that the Wei State intervenes.

But in this way, I can also spread rumors that Wei wants to annex Wei and has the ambition to unify the Central Plains. I believe that all the countries in the Central Plains will be wary of Wei because of this..."

Nodding secretly, Jin Xu turned his head and glanced at the sky outside the palace.

"...Anyway, my affairs here are done. It's time to wait for an opportunity to escape and join the young master... I heard that the young master suffered a big loss at the hands of Na Xia Yu when he was in Fan County? Haha, this is really...
