Chapter 313 Secret Report
"King of Yan! I'm going to kill you!"
In the courtyard of Jincheng, Murong Wuji picked up the ceramic vase in front of him and smashed it to pieces.
In front of him, a general held Ji Li's head.
He found that the Yanzhou soldiers threw a black object in with a catapult, so he went forward to check.
It turned out to be Ji Li's head.
The Xiliang soldiers who were watching were shocked and immediately notified the general, who sent it to Murong Wuji.
Whimping violently, Murong Wuji suddenly realized something and asked anxiously: "How many people know that Ji Li is dead."
"I'm afraid this matter has spread." The general lowered his head.
Murong Wuji's body shook.
Ji Li was dead, which proved that the 90,000 troops he led were all annihilated by the King of Yan.
If it spread in Jincheng at this time, people would be panicked.
But now, it is obvious that he can no longer stop it.
"I didn't expect that I, Jili, who has fought on the battlefield for more than 30 years, would be defeated by a prince of Dasong who hasn't even grown all his hair yet, hahaha..." Jili laughed loudly, but his eyes were full of sadness.
Since conquering Jincheng, his reputation as Murong Wuji has spread throughout Xiliang.
And in just a few months, Jincheng will be lost to him again.
Even if he dies, he will only leave a bad reputation in Xiliang.
"Bring my armor." After a miserable laugh, Murong Wuji's eyes were sharp, "Wait until they break the city, even if I die, I will kill a few more Song dogs with my own hands."
...
"Boom boom boom..."
Outside Jincheng, the bombardment continued, but a lot of artillery joined in.
These are the artillerymen who have just withdrawn from the battlefield.
Zhao Xu and Chang Wei stood in front of the camp, looking at the city wall of Jincheng.
Under the continuous bombardment of artillery these days, a large piece of the city wall on the side of the city gate collapsed on it.
Now the artillery continues to bombard this fragile place.
Perhaps in a few days, the area on the left side of the city gate will collapse completely.
Thinking of this, he felt that he was not in a hurry, so he asked Chang Wei to order all the soldiers to take turns to rest and recuperate.
After all, after a day of fierce fighting, the soldiers were exhausted by the cold wind.
In the afternoon, Zhao Xu woke up from his nap.
Despite the rumbling of artillery, he was too tired during the time he entered Jinzhou.
"Your Highness, there is an urgent military situation." Just as he was about to get up and leave the tent, Chang Wei's voice came.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Xu came outside the tent.
I saw a scout standing outside.
"Scouts found that a large number of Xiliang soldiers and horses came from the direction of Lincheng, with a number of more than 30,000 people." Chang Wei said.
Zhao Xu frowned when he heard this, "Aren't there only 30,000 Xiliang soldiers and horses in Lincheng in the south?"
Chang Wei nodded, with a different light in his eyes, "Either the Xiliang soldiers and horses broke through the encirclement of the Ma family, or..."
Before he finished speaking, someone suddenly reported that the Ma family scouts had arrived.
Zhao Xu and Chang Wei looked at each other and asked someone to let the Ma family scouts in.
"Your Highness, the Xiliang troops in Lincheng have broken through the blockade of my Ma family's army and are heading towards Jincheng. Please be on guard." The Ma family scout bowed and said.
"I know, you go back and tell General Ma Jin to lead the army immediately and attack the Xiliang army from front and back. The capture of Jincheng is just around the corner." Zhao Xu said.
The Ma family scout replied yes and got on his horse and left.
"One hundred thousand people can't contain a mere 30,000 troops? Is Ma Jin stupider than a pig?" Chang Wei sneered.
Zhao Xu said lightly: "He is not stupid, but smart. If he lets the Xiliang troops go, he can at most claim that he has mismanaged the troops, or even find a scapegoat, but these 30,000 Xiliang troops will cause us a lot of trouble."
As soon as he finished speaking, another scout arrived.
But this time the scout brought a letter.
Zhao Xu looked at the flame-like pattern mark on the envelope and was happy.
He took the envelope, glanced at it, and his face darkened.
Chang Wei saw that the King of Yan looked unhappy, and couldn't help asking, "Your Highness, what happened?"
"It turned out that Ma Jin deliberately let the Xiliang soldiers go." Zhao Xu handed the letter to Chang Wei.
"Son of a bitch!" Chang Wei was furious after reading it.
The letter said that the Ma family's soldiers had quietly entered Lincheng.
Then the Ma family's soldiers in the north of Lincheng were mobilized.
Then the Xiliang soldiers went out from the north gate and left in a swagger.
Chang Wei showed the letter to Qin Shan, Guan Tong and others.
The generals all showed angry expressions on their faces.
They fought bloody battles in Jinzhou, trying to regain the territory of Dasong.
And the Ma family actually colluded with Xiliang and deliberately let the Xiliang soldiers in Lincheng go.
"Take Jincheng and beat these sons of a bitch." Qin Shan gritted his teeth and cursed.
More than 3,000 soldiers from the royal palace were lying on the cold ground of the camp at this moment.
These bastards were actually helping the Xiliang people.
They wanted more Yanzhou soldiers to die.
"Yes, after defeating Xiliang, we will deal with these bastards."
"Damn these powerful families, none of them are good."
"..."
The generals were so angry that they almost burst out of their chests.
This letter was naturally given to the scout by Xu Ke's people.
Since the war, he has been making plans in the sphere of influence of the Ma family in Jinzhou.
The Ma family is so openly connected with Xiliang that they can't hide from the four courtyards who follow the Ma family's troops.
"Don't worry, everyone. I will settle accounts with Ma Jin soon." Zhao Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, "Ma Han is not dead, and he is now under my protection."
"What!" Chang Wei and others were shocked.
Zhao Xu continued: "Ma Han told me that someone deliberately murdered them. Cui Yan of Jincheng rebelled, and now the Ma family and Xiliang are secretly communicating. I can basically confirm one thing. The chaos in Jinzhou is a conspiracy carefully planned by someone against me, with the purpose of weakening me."
Everyone nodded when they heard it.
Even if the death of Ma's father and son and Cui Yan's rebellion were accidental.
But how to explain that Ma Jin and Xiliang are now in collusion.
What's more, now that Ma Han has appeared, it proves that the first thing was also premeditated.
Then the chaos in the northwest of Dasong is obvious.
"But they probably didn't expect us to besiege Jincheng so quickly and defeat most of the Xiliang troops in Jinzhou." Chang Wei held the hilt of the sword and rubbed it hard.
Zhao Xu nodded. If he didn't have a flintlock rifle or artillery in this battle, he would have been stuck in the quagmire of war.
But now, he jumped out neatly.
The next thing to worry about is the person who planned this conspiracy.
"If that's the case, Your Highness still wants the Ma family to join us in besieging Jincheng? Isn't that inviting a wolf into the house?" Qin Shan said anxiously.
Zhao Xu sneered several times, "This king doesn't really want the Ma family to help, but I have long been suspicious of the Ma family, so I want to dig a pit for them to jump into."
After that, he told the generals about his next plan.
The generals laughed at the words.
"This trick is powerful, and Your Highness is still wise and brave. I wonder what Ma Jin's expression will be at that time?"
