Chapter 309
Li Dan nodded and said, "I already have the token!" As he spoke, he reached into his arms and took out the token. !.
The generals saw clearly the token in Li Dan's hand, and none of them spoke. The hall immediately became silent. Everyone understood that since the young master had successfully stolen the token, tonight's action was imminent and had to be carried out.
Li Dan understood the worries in their hearts. He walked to the center of the generals, looked around at everyone, and said, "I have already thought of a plan for tonight. We will use the excuse of going out of the city to steal the camp and let the soldiers guarding the city open the city gate. , and then..." As he spoke, he looked at the two hidden arrow personnel left behind by Tang Yin, and continued: "Then, these two brothers from the Feng Army will go back to the coalition camp to report the news. When the coalition army arrives, we will only Just guard the city gate."
After a pause, he asked the generals: "Have you found out who the generals are guarding the four cities tonight?"
A loyal general named Li Ying said: "Reporting to my lord, tonight the guard of the east city will be Zhang Xiao, the guard of the south city will be Ding Yong, the guard of the west city will be Wang Wei, and the guard of the north city will be Hou Feng!"
After listening to Li Ying's words, Li Dan's heart dropped. Well, all the generals guarding the four cities are here tonight! Can you successfully convince them to open the city gate with only the token in your hand? Li Dan doesn't feel confident at all now.
He murmured: "Isn't there a way to take them away? Even if only one person is taken away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ying continued: "Sir, I will eventually find a way to drive away Hou Feng, the chief general of the North City!"
"Oh?" Li Dan was refreshed, his eyes widened, and he asked hurriedly: "General Li, what can you do?"
Li Ying can also be regarded as a relative of the royal family, but his blood relationship with Li Dan is too far away. In terms of seniority, he should be Li Dan's nephew.
He said sternly: "The general has always had a good personal relationship with Hou Feng. I know his character very well. Hou Feng is a very family man. As long as there is something going on at home, he will rush home even if the sky falls, so..."
He didn't finish his sentence. Li Dan was so smart that Ma understood what he meant and said, "You mean, as long as there are changes in Hou Feng's family, he will definitely leave Beicheng and return home?"
"Yes, sir!" Li Ying responded.
"But..." Li Dan said quietly, "How can we change his family?"
At this time, the two secret assassins stepped forward and said, "This is easy. As long as the young master reveals where Hou Feng's family is, we and I can turn his family upside down!"
kindness! It is most appropriate for Feng Ren to take action on this matter. Even if someone goes to investigate in the future, he will not be able to find out. He nodded and said, "Okay! I'll leave this matter to you two."
"Young Master, you're welcome."
Li Dan and more than a dozen loyal generals and hidden arrow personnel quickly formulated a plan for tonight. First, two hidden arrow personnel would sneak attack Hou Feng's residence, and then Li Ying would go and report the news. As soon as Hou Feng left, they would He led the army to the north city and forced the defenders to open the city gate.
Before the two secret assassins left, Li Dan did not forget to tell them that no matter how much trouble they made at Hou Feng's house, they must not hurt his family.
As rumored, Li Dan was indeed a kind man. In his eyes, Hou Feng was a loyal minister of the Zheng Kingdom. Even if his position was different now, there was no need to endanger the lives of his family. The two secret assassins agreed wholeheartedly and then said goodbye to Li Dan.
Hou Feng was the lieutenant general of the Zheng Kingdom, a high-ranking general, and his family had many guardians and retainers. No matter how powerful the two secret assassins were, they would not be able to achieve much in Hou Feng's family. But the two of them relied on the strangeness of the dark spiritual martial arts to make Hou Feng's official residence a mess.
As soon as they started taking action, Li Ying immediately ran to Beicheng to report the news to Hou Feng. Now, there are no less than 50,000 Zhen troops stationed in Beicheng. The leader is Hou Feng and the deputy general is Kong Wu. Both of them are famous generals of Zhen Kingdom who are famous for their bravery and good fighting skills.
Hearing that Li Ying suddenly came to see him, Hou Feng, who was patrolling the city wall, was surprised. He was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Bring him here!"
Not long after, Li Ying was led to the city by a loyal soldier. Before Hou Feng could ask, Li Ying stepped forward quickly, wiped the sweat on his forehead and said in a hurry: "General Hou, something bad happened. You Something happened at home!"
This sentence made Hou Feng tremble with shock. He rushed up to Li Ying, subconsciously grabbed his collar, and asked: "What did you say? Something happened in my family? What happened?"
Li Ying swallowed secretly, still with an anxious look on his face, and said in a trembling voice: "Thieves who came out of nowhere unexpectedly attacked General Hou's residence at night. When I heard the news and rushed there, there was The trap has been messed up. I didn’t dare to delay, so I rushed over to see you, General Hou. General Hou, go home and have a look!”
oops! Hou Feng felt dizzy before his eyes and almost fainted on the spot.
He pushed Li Ying away and shouted: "Won't you send a follower to inform me? Why don't you protect my family..." As he spoke, he ran towards the bottom of the city wall like crazy.
As the saying goes, those in authority are confused, but onlookers know clearly. Kong Wu, who was with Hou Feng, frowned. When Li Ying spoke, he always felt that his eyes were wandering, as if he was hiding something. What's more, how could a thief suddenly appear, and how could the thief have the courage to provoke the Lieutenant General's Mansion? Moreover, there are so many powerful people in the capital, why would the thief choose someone with a heavy burden instead of others? What about Hou Feng, who is employed? Could it be that there is some fraud involved?
Thinking of this, Kong Wu stirred up a shiver, quickly chased Hou Feng, grabbed his wrist, and said in a deep voice: "General Hou, please wait!"
"What are you waiting for? My parents, wife and children are still alive and dead at home. Why do you want me to wait here? Waiting for someone to come and report the funeral?" Hou Feng had lost his calmness at this time. He could only think about the safety of his family and could not listen to anything else. .
He shook Kong Wu's hand away and continued running towards the city wall.
He was the general in charge of Beicheng. He left his post without authorization and the matter was of great importance. Kong Wu did not dare to be careless and stepped forward to stop him again. He said anxiously: "General Hou, this matter is strange. You can just send the following soldiers back to the house to resolve the crisis. Why do you have to do it yourself... …”
Before he finished speaking, Hou Feng seemed to have been stepped on and roared: "If there were changes in your family, could you still say sarcastic words here? Get out of here!" Hou Feng slapped Kong hard. Wu pushed away, climbed off the city wall without looking back, and galloped towards his home on horseback.
Li Ying did not dare to stay any longer and shouted: "General Hou, wait for me!" As he spoke, he also ran away on horseback.
Not long after the two of them left, Li Dan arrived with ten thousand Zhenjun. These ten thousand soldiers are all subordinates of the dozen or so generals. The military ranks of these generals are not high and they belong to the middle and low-level generals. It is not easy to cobble together ten thousand people. This is why Li Dan did not dare to force his father to step down. He did not have military power.
Seeing the prince personally leading ten thousand soldiers to the North City, Kong Wu was startled. He hurriedly ran down the city wall, bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "General Kong Wu, please see me! Sir, please forgive me for not being able to salute because my armor is on me." !”
Li Dan put down his hands expressionlessly and said, "You're welcome, General Kong." As he spoke, he pretended to look around and asked, "Where's General Hou? Isn't General Hou the leader tonight?" Job?"
I am really afraid of what will happen. Kong Wu grinned secretly, Hou Feng didn't leave early or late, but he was not there when the prince came. Once the news reached the king's ears, how many heads of Hou Feng could bear it?
Kong Wu bowed and clasped his fists and said: "Oh... General Hou has a change in his family, so... he rushes home to deal with it first, and then he comes back!" After a pause, he quickly changed the subject and asked: "I don't know, Mr. I came to Beicheng late at night and I don’t know what to do?”
"The enemy is in front of us, but Hou Feng is so relaxed. He dares to go home and take some time off!" Li Dan sneered angrily and said, "General Kong, please quickly ask someone to open the city gate. I will lead my troops to attack the enemy camp tonight. !”
Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that Li Dan could say such a thing out of the blue. A sneak attack on the enemy camp? Bringing only these 10,000 men to sneak attack on the opponent's million-strong coalition, isn't this asking for death? Could it be that the young master is crazy?
He shook his head repeatedly out of instinct, grabbed the reins of Li Dan's horse tightly in front of him, and said urgently: "No! Master, you must not..."
"What's not allowed?!" Li Dan reached back and took out the token, and said in a deep voice: "I went to steal the camp with my father's permission. Do you want to disobey the order? Don't be wordy. Open the city gate quickly!"
Kong Wu was not willing to listen to him. Even though he saw the king's token, he still held on to the reins with both hands.
He didn't even think about Li Dan collaborating with the enemy. In Kong Wu's heart, anyone might collaborate with the enemy, but Li Dan would never do it. After all, he was the prince and the monarch of the Zheng Kingdom. Who would give up his thousands of miles of land to the enemy?
The reason why he didn't let him go was entirely out of loyalty and concern for Li Dan's life.
He said in a trembling voice: "Young Master is the crown prince of our Zheng Kingdom and the hope for the future of our Zheng Kingdom. How can you personally go to the enemy camp and take risks? Young Master, please think twice. Please think twice, Young Master!"
Unexpectedly, without Hou Feng, the remaining Kong Wu would be in such trouble. Li Dan was very pleased and touched by Kong Wu's loyalty, but now is not the time! He gritted his teeth and pondered for a moment, then suddenly returned his hand, took out the sword from his waist, pointed his finger down from the horse, pressed it against Kong Wu's throat, and shouted sternly: "This young master is stealing the camp under the king's order, you If you dare to obstruct me again, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
The soldiers guarding Beicheng were all dumbfounded. On one side was their lieutenant, and on the other side was the dignified prince. They were either trying to save people, or not. They were all in a dilemma, and they were so anxious that they rubbed their hands together.
