Chapter 203: Setting Up [Two in One](2/2)
One day later, Li Ke's head was delivered to Yi'an and delivered to the hands of his clan brother Li Chu. Also delivered at the same time was an angry letter from Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi.
In this letter, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, was certainly not stupid enough to reveal his true intentions. He just pretended to be very angry and expressed his indignation at Li Chu's sending Li Ke to his fief several times to poach him: "You are really
Do you think I dare not kill him?!"
Seeing the head of his clan brother Li Ke and the letter from Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, Yi'an guard Li Chu was filled with sorrow and joy.
Fortunately, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, was finally forced to show signs of rebellion. He could justifiably devour the latter, complete the orders given by Jicheng, and completely control Jingjing Pass, Yuanyi, and Yi'an.
This area, after all, can connect Taiyuan County, Shangdang County, and Yanmen County, so it is a very important strategic place.
Sadly, his younger brother Li Ke was killed by Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi.
To be honest, Li Chu was a little unexpected about this, because in his opinion, he had not pushed Yuanyi Hou Hanpu to the point of "what is intolerable", and he did not know that Yuanyi Hou Hanpu would
What was the situation that made him so angry that he killed his younger brother Li Ke without saying a word.
But since Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, had taken the initiative to provoke, Li Chu would certainly not be polite and immediately gathered the army and mobilized troops to attack Yuanyi.
"Han Pu, you little bitch, come out if you have the guts!"
After leading his army outside the city of Yuanyi County, Han general Li Chu began to curse the city and forced Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, to come forward.
This scene made the Yuanyi soldiers guarding the city very puzzled, because many of them did not know that Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, ordered the killing of Li Ke, which provoked his clan brother Li Chu.
"This idiot!"
On the city gate tower of Yuanyi County, Yuanyi Hou Hanpu looked coldly at Li Chu who was cursing outside the city, and secretly sneered in his heart: If you didn't have some "purpose", you would have become a corpse long ago!
With a sneer in his heart, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, walked to the wall and shouted to Li Chu outside the city: "Li Chu, what are your intentions when you lead your troops to surround me in Yuanyi?!"
"You finally came out." Li Chu spat outside the city and said bitterly: "Han Pu, my brother Li Ke came to your town to borrow food, and you killed him for no reason. What are your intentions? Today you
If you don't give me an explanation, I, Li Chu, will never give up!"
Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, laughed loudly when he heard this, and then he laughed and cursed angrily: "Borrowing without repaying is also called borrowing? I, Yuanyi, also have to feed three to five thousand soldiers and generals, how can I let you wantonly rob my county of food and grass?
...Your brother Li Ke, when he arrived at our military camp, was arrogant and arrogant, which is intolerable. I will kill him because he deserves it!"
"Fart!" Li Chu cursed outside the city.
Gradually, the soldiers of the two Korean armies inside and outside the city also heard the reason: It turned out that Li Chu's brother Li Ke, relying on his brother's support, went to Yuanyi to collect grain and grass by force. Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, was not angry, so he ordered
Kill Li Ke.
Now that they know what happened, the Han army in Yuanyi naturally sides with Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi. Just as Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, said: I, Yuanyi, also have to feed three to five thousand soldiers, so why should I give you food and grass?
No, immediately one of the subordinates of Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, said to him: "Your Majesty, don't pay attention to this guy. The general doesn't believe it. He really dares to attack the city?!"
Upon hearing this, the nearby soldiers also echoed angrily.
Seeing this, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, who pretended to be angry, glanced at Zhang Qigong secretly, and the two exchanged looks with a tacit understanding.
"...It's almost time."
After getting Zhang Qigong's look, Yuanyi Hou Han Pu pretended to be indignant and cursed Li Chu outside the city: "Li Ke died unjustly. Even if I kill him, what can you do? Do you still dare to attack the city?"
"
Obviously, he was deliberately irritating Li Chu.
Sure enough, Li Chu outside the city almost exploded with anger when he heard this and said angrily: "I don't dare to tell you?!"
Seeing this, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, continued to provoke in a subtle way: "If you dare, attack the city!... See if I dare to kill you!"
For a moment, the atmosphere inside and outside the city suddenly became tense.
"Okay, okay!" Li Chu said three good words in a row and cursed: "Han Pu, you killed your colleagues indiscriminately, I will definitely report this to Jicheng..."
"Huh!" Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, sneered when he heard this: "You know who is right and who is wrong. If you hadn't forced me in every possible way, I would have killed your clan brother?... Li Chu, don't think that Jicheng is backing you, so you just
You can climb onto my head unscrupulously. I am very clear about your deeds... In order to seize power, Han Ran framed my uncle Han Hu.
You also refused to save Lihou, who was trapped in the Wei army, and now you are secretly ordering you to kill me. I would have swallowed my anger, but in order to cling to Jicheng, you persecuted me in every possible way, which is intolerable... I, Han Pu, today
Put it here, I have not rebelled against the country or the emperor, so Han Ran cannot kill me. If you dare to attack my Yuanyi today, I will dare to kill you!"
After hearing what Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, said, the soldiers in the city couldn't help but start talking among themselves. They didn't expect that the grudge between Li Chu and Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, would actually involve Han Wangran of Jicheng.
At this time, Li Chu outside the city heard what Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, said, and he laughed as if he had caught something: "Han Pu, you are disrespectful to the king, and you dare to say that you are not guilty? I advise you to open the door and surrender early.
, wait for the fall of Jicheng, the king is merciful, maybe he will spare your life, otherwise, when I break the city, I will cut off your head to claim the credit!"
"I'm afraid that if you fail to take the credit, Yuanyi will be killed!" Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, sneered at each other.
As the two men quarreled, the atmosphere inside the city became increasingly tense.
Although the soldiers of Yuanyi were at a loss when they heard that the feud between Li Chu and Yuanyi Hou Han Pu actually involved Han Wangran and Kang Gong Han Hu, they were temporarily unable to do so due to the pressure brought by Li Chu's army outside the city.
After thinking about it carefully, he subconsciously made a move to defend the city and resist the enemy.
Later, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, ordered Li Chu to retreat immediately three times, but Li Chu ignored him and naturally drew his bow and shot Li Chu with an arrow. The two armies immediately became at war with each other and began to attack each other.
At first, the Yi'an Army and the Yuanyi Army were only fighting lightly, but as wounded people gradually appeared, the soldiers of the two armies gradually became angry and their attacks became more and more ruthless.
Although Li Chu's army did not bring siege equipment this time, only some long ladders that were better than nothing, given that the city wall of Yuanyi was not high, and not all of the three to five thousand troops under Yuanyi Hou Han Pu were stationed
Inside the city, therefore, the east gate of Yuanyi was quickly breached.
This made Yuanyi's soldiers even more angry.
Seeing that the time was right, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, assumed a "fight to the last resort" stance and went to kill the enemy personally.
At the same time, Bei Gongyu also winked at Yougui and several other black crows pretending to be Yuanyi soldiers, telling them to take advantage of the chaos and kill Li Chu.
Ghost and others happily dispatched, first helping Yuanyi Hou Hanpu to kill off the Yi'an army that had invaded the city, and then smoothly and normally launched a counterattack behind Yuanyi Hou Hanpu, fighting all the way to the outside of the city.
Li Chuna, the defender of Yi'an City, knew that there were a group of skilled murderers among the soldiers of Yuanyi Army. He stared at Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, as if he wanted to kill the latter himself to claim credit from Jicheng, but he was killed by the ghost.
The others broke through the obstruction of their guards and were killed on the spot.
"Li Chu is dead!"
Chen Liang, a close guard of Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, cut off Li Chu's head and used the head to force the Yi'an army present to surrender.
When they saw this head, except for the Marquis of Yuanyi Han Pu and his confidants, both the Yi'an army and the Yuanyi army were a little stunned: the dignified defenders of one city actually actually fought against each other in this farce.
Killed in an arms fight?
"Who, who killed him?"
Several generals under Han Pu, Marquis of Yuanyi, looked at each other in confusion.
At this time, Yougui and others had already quietly retreated, leaving only the group of Yuanyi army soldiers looking at each other, at a loss.
Killing the garrison of a city, isn't this tantamount to conspiring to rebel?
"Why panic!"
Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, scolded him. Although he seemed a little panicked on his face, he was laughing in his heart, because all of this was ordered by Zhang Qigong: not only did Yuanyi's soldiers follow him wholeheartedly, but also he made the generals follow him wholeheartedly.
He easily killed Li Chu and incorporated the latter's army.
Now, there is only one last thing left.
Thinking of this, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, winked at Chen Liang, his confidant.
Chen Liang understood and threw Li Chu's head on the ground in full view of everyone, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, although I killed Li Chu by mistake, killing a city guard is a capital crime. What's more, Ji Ji
The other side of the city has always been prejudiced against you because of Duke Kang, and they will definitely not forgive us. No matter what, we will die, so let’s just rebel! Call an alliance, fight to Jicheng, get rid of the faint king, and establish a new king.
!”
"This..." Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, pretended to hesitate.
Seeing this, his confidants who had arranged for him to persuade him all said: "Jicheng was unkind, so don't blame us for being unjust!"
Under the deliberate guidance of these envoys, some Yuanyi military generals who had no idea what was going on gradually began to speak out. It seems that they also understood that Yi'an guard Li Chu died in Yuanyi for no apparent reason, and they could not escape.
It's a capital crime, so why not give it a try?
Under the persuasion of these people, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, pretended to hesitate for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.
Now that the decision was made, he simply refused to do anything. Therefore, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, immediately recruited Li Chu's subordinates. Those who wanted to surrender would live, but those who did not want to surrender would die. Then in just two days, he led his troops.
The general captured Yi'an and Jingjing Pass.
Even Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, did not expect that everything would go so smoothly.
Afterwards, he privately praised Zhang Qigong: "Sir, you are really a genius!"
Zhang Qigong was very calm about the praise given by Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi - Zhang Qigong is certainly a genius in the world, does it need to be said?
"A prince must not be careless."
After giving the instructions, Zhang Qigong glanced in the direction of Jicheng inadvertently.
