Chapter 306: Counting the plan(1/2)
"Your Highness, Your Majesty's brain disease has worsened, but he will never have a craniotomy. Instead, he will choose safe and conservative treatment and use medication to treat it. This is a god-given opportunity for Your Highness!" Sima Yi reminded.
Prince Cao Ang was shining with his eyes and he paced back and forth in the hall.
He has been the crown prince for nearly twenty years. Although he is less than one person, he has been too frustrated and painful to show his ambitions in his heart. He is afraid of being suspicious of His Majesty, nor does he dare to contact civil and military officials. He is suspected by His Majesty. He can only be the crown prince honestly, just like a puppet carrying a string.
Sometimes Cao Ang envies King Wen Cao Pi. He can do many things as he pleases. As long as he doesn't go out of line, His Majesty will not think too much.
So although he is Cao Cao's biological son, Cao Ang has fantasized more than once, how great would it be if His Majesty died?
Although this idea is a ruthless idea, once it arises, it can no longer control its random thoughts.
In addition, Cao Ang has a counselor who is good at scheming people's hearts, and he constantly induces Cao Ang, so until now, Cao Ang's ambition has been achieved.
At this time, Cao Ang stopped pace and said solemnly: "Please help me sir!"
After saying that, bowed and bowed.
Sima Yi quickly helped Cao Ang up and said, "Your Highness is a subordinate. This is what his subordinates should do! However, this matter must be hidden. Once clues are leaked, it will be a disaster!"
At this time, Sima Yi was also nervous. He helped Cao Ang to seize the throne. Once the matter was revealed, it would be a serious crime to kill the three clans. Once a mistake was made, the Sima family would be destroyed in his hands.
However, Sima Yi could not suppress his inner ambitions.
He also didn't want to be an official in the Eastern Palace. He also wanted to become the prime minister or the third duke like Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others, become the top family of the Great Wei Dynasty, and be able to shine the Sima family.
So after thinking about it over and over again, Sima Yi decided to take a try. If he succeeded, he would shine on the Sima family. If he failed, he would become ashes.
"With sir, great things can be accomplished! Sir, what should we do?" Cao Ang asked.
Sima Yi's eyes flashed, and he told Cao Ang what he thought in his heart.
......
It has been ten days since Yang Shuang arrived in Wei State. During this period, she only had one battle with Xiahou Dun. The other party hurried into the city and did not dare to show up. It seemed that she was scared by the thunderbolt bullet.
Today is the sun is warm and Yang Shuang thinks it is another peaceful day. Han Qinhu suddenly comes to report that it is a strange movement of the Wei army.
Yang Shuang immediately smiled and said, "It seems that the Wei army is going to take the initiative to provoke! You can continue to meet them!"
Han Qinhu led his troops to leave.
After receiving Cao Cao's order, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but sigh, but in order to understand the origin of the mysterious weapon, Xiahou Dun had to take the initiative, so he took the initiative to attack and lead five thousand troops to test.
Han Qinhu organized troops to fight. This time, Xiahou Dun sent a deputy general to fight. Han Qinhu asked Zhang Xutuo to take action. In a few rounds, he killed the opponent's deputy general.
Then, with Han Qinhu's order, the army retreated a hole, and another herd of cattle was driven out, on the back of the cow, just like last time, carrying a cloth belt.
When the bulls appeared, Xiahou Dun could clearly feel the fear of his soldiers on his side, and the entire camp was in a tendency to retreat.
Xiahou Dun ordered people to beat drums to stabilize the morale of the army, and then the army attacked.
Han Qinhu also lit the firecrackers on the cow's butt, and the cows rushed towards Xiahou Dun's army.
This time, Xiahou Dun roared and ordered the archers to shoot arrows immediately, directly shooting the rushing cattle, preventing the cattle from approaching, so that they don’t have to worry about those mysterious weapons.
Even if a cow escapes Arrow Feather's attack and runs over, the soldiers can choose to avoid these cows and keep a distance, and they should be able to avoid the attack of mysterious weapons.
Moreover, the five thousand people led by Xiahou Dun were all wearing iron armor, which could be said to be fully armed.
Therefore, Xiahou Dun led his troops to attack instead of voluntarily killing him, but instead thought about strategies against the enemy.
However, Xiahou Dun miscalculated.
Niu Qun rushed over, scaring the Wei army to dodge, but the last time the Niu Qun exploded did not happen again. Xiahou Dun was a little confused. How could this happen?
Immediately, Xiahou Dun understood that he had been deceived. This time, the Sui army did not use mysterious weapons at all, and they were fooled.
"Dongdongdongdongdong..."
On the Sui army, the drums of war sounded, Han Qinhu raised his arms and shouted, and the army began to attack.
At this time, the formation of the Wei army was in chaos. Faced with the attack of the Sui army, they hurriedly gathered together.
Just as the two sides were getting closer, a crossbow was placed on the Sui army's chariot, which entered the range and fired directly!
The range of the bed crossbow is much higher than that of the bow and arrow, and its power is terrifying. Moreover, Yang Shuang transformed the bed crossbow, with two bed crossbows on a chariot, and iron chains were tied to the front of the crossbow arrow.
When the crossbow arrows shoot at the enemy, the iron chains are like ropes that attract souls, directly entangling a large area of Wei. Even if the Wei army is not injured and nailed to the ground, the Wei army's war horses will be tripped by the iron chains and overturned by the horses.
This is just a prelude to the confrontation, and soon the two sides collided and started a fight.
In this battle, the Wei army was at a disadvantage and Mingjin withdrew troops, while the Wei army and the Sui army each suffered losses.
Xiahou Dun returned to Runzhou City and was furious. He was defeated by Han Qinhu twice in a row, which made him angry. However, he racked his brains and could not think of a good way, unless he was crushed by the number of people.
Thinking of this, Xiahou Dun asked the scouts and learned that tomorrow night, a 50,000 army would arrive in Runzhou City to support.
With military support, Xiahou Dun was confident enough.
At this time, the Central Army camp of the Sui Army.
Yang Shuang called Han Qinhu, Zhang Xutuo, Yang Su and others to discuss countermeasures.
Yang Shuang said directly: "From time, Xiahou Dun's reinforcements will arrive soon. After all, this is the territory of the Wei army. It is very simple to dispatch troops and generals, which is extremely unfavorable to us, so I am not going to continue to delay. Before returning to the Great Sui Dynasty, I must come up with some achievements. My idea is to break through Runzhou City, or destroy Xiahou Dun."
"Your Highness, the city of Runzhou is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack. We do not have siege equipment, so it is difficult to break Runzhou City. On the contrary, destroying Xiahou Dun is easy. In order to test our gunpowder, Xiahou Dun will attack tomorrow. Why should he take the opportunity to use gunpowder to destroy the other party?" Yang Su asked.
Han Qinhu nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness, you can use gunpowder the fastest, and it has unexpected effects!"
Yang Shuang shook her head and refused, "It is enough to use gunpowder once. You cannot continue to use it. You must keep it mysterious so that Cao Cao can keep thinking and unable to sleep or eat. On the contrary, if they know the origin of gunpowder, they may try to make it. Although the method of making gunpowder is not simple, it is not as difficult as they imagined."
Gunpowder was discovered by the alchemist, so it was not difficult. Yang Shuang is now taking advantage of the fact that the alchemist has not invented the gunpowder and takes the lead.
"Then how to kill Xiahou Dun?" The two scratched their heads. It was not easy to destroy Xiahou Dun from the battlefield. This guy was wearing strong iron armor and had strong defense, unless he fired a cold arrow from close range.
Yang Shuang smiled and said, "I called Yu Jin here! I'm already in the military camp."
"Uh?" The three of them were stunned and then laughed.
Han Qinhu and Zhang Xutuo are straightforward people, so they didn't tell them much about Yu Jin, but they also understood the truth. Yu Jin's refugee was problematic. If you want to believe him, you must ask him to give a letter of fame. The verbal promises are not enough, and you must achieve results.
The killing of Xiahou Dun was a confession.
"Your Highness is wise!" the three of them hurriedly bowed.
Yang Shuang asked someone to invite Yu Jin over.
Originally, Yang Shuang attacked the Great Wei Dynasty, but did not let Yu Jin follow him. After coming here, she decided to deal with Xiahou Dun, so she sent someone to invite Yu Jin.
When he returned to his country again, Yu Jin felt a little sad, but he did not forget his mission, that is, to find out what the mysterious weapon was. Unfortunately, he tried it several times but did not find it.
Yu Jin was called urgently this time, and he felt a little nervous. He had a bad premonition.
When he arrived at the Central Army camp, Yang Shuang hurriedly said, "Yu Jin, thank you all the hard work!"
Yu Jin said respectfully: "Your Highness, you are polite. This is what you should do with a humble position. I dare to ask Your Highness, and you urgently summon your subordinates to come down to this point, what's going on?"
Yang Shuang sighed and said, "You know that I only brought more than 30,000 troops to attack Wei, just to fight for tooth. I didn't think of killing all directions, and even without expecting to break through Runzhou City. So it's time to leave during this period. However, Wei State invaded me, the Great Sui State for so long and did not speak morally. If I left in shame, I would not even be willing to leave. In addition, Xiahou Dun humiliated me, if he didn't give him some excellence, he wouldn't know how powerful I was."
"Xiahou Dun is a famous general of Wei. Killing him is a lesson to Wei and Cao Cao, and he can also give him anger. But Xiahou Dun is cautious and has a very high martial arts skills. It is impossible to kill him on the battlefield. So I want to ask you for help!"
"Kill Xiahou Dun?" Yu Jin was shocked.
Yang Shuang nodded and asked directly: "Do you feel it's difficult to deal with it? Can't you do it?"
Yu Jin felt bitter in his heart, of course he couldn't do it. He had a fair relationship with Xiahou Dun, but he was not willing to work together and attack his own people.
But at this time, he thought of the Grand Marshal Jia Xu's warning to him before leaving the imperial capital.
You must surrender wholeheartedly to show sincerity, otherwise how can you make Yang Shuang believe it?
Although Yang Shuang is very caring for herself and taking great care of herself, Yu Jin is not stupid. He can find Yang Shuang's defense against her because the two have never been alone before, so he must be protected by Han Qinhu and Zhang Xutuo.
Yu Jin understood that he was afraid that he would take action suddenly.
"Okay! I'll kill him!" Yu Jin followed Jia Xu's warning and directly agreed to this matter. He could not hesitate for too long.
Yang Shuang was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Okay! I did not read you wrong! If I could kill Xiahou Dun, it would be a great achievement. When I return to the capital of the Great Sui Dynasty, I will report this to my father and ask for me for you!"
Yu Jin felt distressed. He didn't want any credit. He just wanted to complete the task and then return to Wei State.
But Yu Jin could only grit his teeth and force himself to smile and said, "Your Highness can trust me. If you hand over such an important task to me, I will do my best to complete this matter. Please rest assured! But... Xiahou Dun is hiding in Runzhou City, how can his subordinates contact him?"
Yang Shuang smiled and said, "This matter is not difficult. Just pretend to be a false surrender to me, and then take the opportunity to contact him, and then tell him that he can work with him inside and outside..."
Yang Shuang told Yu Jin about the plan he had planned.
After Yu Jin listened, he gave up completely.
It's night.
The city of Runzhou was brightly lit, and a large number of soldiers patrolled back and forth to guard against the Sui army's strong attack. Although the Wei army knew that the Sui army's possibility of siege was not high, they had to be careful.
Especially the Sui army also had mysterious and terrifying weapons in their hands. What if such weapons could break through the walls of Runzhou City?
So you must be very careful, this is a big deal of your life!
As midnight approached, the soldiers on the city wall had not relaxed and slacked off. At this moment, the soldiers on the city tower found someone approaching and immediately became alert.
However, seeing that there was only one person on the other side, the soldiers on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief, and then shouted sternly: "Who is coming!"
The visitor was Yu Jin. Yu Jin said to the soldiers on the city tower: "I have something here. Please hand it over to General Xiahou, and he will know who I am. I have important matters to discuss with him! It is related to the Sui Army!"
When the soldiers on the city tower heard that it was this matter, they quickly put down the rope, pulled Yu Jin's things up, and then hurriedly reported to Xiahou Dun.
To be continued...
