That night, most of the soldiers were drunk and fell asleep in the camp tent, Tian Hua led thousands of soldiers from the Wei Feng battalion to implement a clean-up plan, and more than 40 generals who had been dissatisfied with Tian Xu's killing of Tian Yue's wife, children and mother were secretly arrested in their sleep.

In addition, fifty or sixty Fu Lan and Zhao Lun's henchmen and generals were also arrested, and they could no longer see the dawn, and they were all secretly executed.

In the past two days, Hu Cao was relatively low-key, basically did not go to the Wei Palace, and did not have any ideas, he also felt that Fu Xuan was a little high-spirited, and on the day of the triumphant departure to the city, the army and the people were enthusiastic about Fu Xuan, which really made Hu Cao worried.

Hu Cao knows very well what kind of person Tian Xu is, narrow-minded and ruthless, especially if he is not in the right position, he is even more afraid of the generals who hold military power, Fu Xuan is too high-profile, and his situation in the future will not be too good.

In the middle of the night, Hu Cao was suddenly awakened by a quick knock on the door, he sat up and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The housekeeper said anxiously outside: "Master, there are a lot of soldiers outside, you hurry up!" ”

Hu Cao hurriedly put on clothes with his wife Wang, "Husband, what happened?" Wang asked in fear.

"Don't show up, let me deal with it!"

Hu Cao comforted his wife for a few words, then opened the door and asked, "Who else is here besides the soldiers?" ”

"And I'm here too!" A cold voice came from the courtyard.

Hu Cao was shocked in his heart, and he found that the courtyard was brightly lit, dozens of soldiers were holding torches, and the leader was a scribe with a slender face, staring at him with a hideous face, which was Xu Shize, who he feared the most.

Hu Cao looked at the housekeeper again, he had already fallen to the ground, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he asked stubbornly: "It turned out to be Xu Junshi, what's the matter so late?" ”

Xu Shi smiled gloomily, "The prince wants to see you, please come with me!" ”

Hu Cao knew that he would not be spared, and he said slowly: "Master Xu, maybe we have different political views, but I have not offended you, and I have never said anything bad about you in front of the prince, if you want to kill me, but please let my wife and children go." ”

"What are these words, how could I kill you? Please! ”

Hu Cao looked up to the sky and sighed, "The bird still knows how to choose a good tree to perch on, but I hold on to the rotten wood, I am looking for death by myself, and I can't complain about others!" ”

He straightened his clothes and said, "Let's go!" ”

Hu Cao walked out quickly, and at this time, a captain asked Xu Shize in a low voice, "What about his son?" ”

A trace of viciousness flashed in Xu Shize's eyes, and he said coldly: "Chop the grass and remove the roots, do you still use me to teach you?" ”

..........

In less than five watches, Tian Xu's elimination plan was completed, and all those who threatened him were eliminated, and Tian Xu followed Xu Shize's suggestion, appointed Tian Hua as a defense envoy for Yuancheng, and sent 3,000 Wei Feng spies to investigate all kinds of unfavorable discussions in the army and among the people.

Before dawn, the western gate opened, and a knight rode out at a gallop, running into the darkness in the distance........

Since Zhu Jun led the army to retreat westward, Zhou Fei led 500 scouts, distributed around the four city gates, and he and Zhang Yun both agreed that Zhu Jun was only feint to retreat, and would definitely carry out some activities in the city, and it was necessary for them to intercept Zhu Jun's contact with the city.

Zhou Fei led more than 100 scouts to lurk in a pine forest five miles away from Xicheng, which was close to the official road, and his subordinates monitored the situation on the official road day and night.

"General, what if they are in contact with each other by pigeon letters?" One of his subordinates couldn't help but say to Zhou Fei.

Zhou Fei knocked him and said with a smile: "You are still a scout, it is okay to send pigeon letters from outside the city to the city, how to send pigeon letters from inside the city to outside the city?" Tell me about it? ”

The subordinate scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I forgot, the pigeon letter needs to be fixed in advance, and the pigeon letter will be established after many trainings." ”

That being said, in fact, Zhou Fei was also a little worried, although the carrier pigeon could not send a letter randomly, but the letter eagle could, if there was an eagle slave in the barracks, he could let the flying eagle distinguish the master through the eagle flute, if the other party used the eagle letter, then there was no way.

At this moment, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves in the distance, which was heard very clearly in the darkness, and the sound came from the east.

Zhou Fei perked up and immediately shouted, "Ready!" ”

The soldiers immediately began to arrange, arranged several interception methods, and Zhou Fei also climbed a big tree on the side of the road.

I saw a knight galloping in the distance, gradually rushing towards this side.

All the scouts were ready to intercept, and the knight rushed into the pine forest, and he found nothing unusual, when a black shadow above the knight's head flew down like a goshawk, and flipped the knight off his horse to the ground, and the soldiers on both sides swarmed up, and the cavalryman was firmly pinned to the ground.

Zhou Fei searched for a letter from him, he beckoned, several soldiers surrounded him to block the light, Zhou Fei squatted down, flipped a fire fold, and quickly glanced at the letter cover: 'Weichen Xu Shi is to His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor'.

He opened the letter again and read it, it was the news they were waiting for, Zhou Fei was overjoyed, blew out the fire, got up and said to Captain Chen Guo: "You lead fifty brothers to continue to monitor, and I will return to the camp immediately." ”

..........

Although the war that took place in Wei was not very fierce, the Wei people were generally worried that they would become the subjects of Zhu Zhu or Li Na, and the border was no longer blocked by the Wei army, and the Wei people began to flee north in large numbers.

In the past 10 days, more than 1 million people have gathered in the two refugee camps in Qingtan County and Qinghe County, more than 100,000 tents have been used by the Jin State, hundreds of officials and scribes from various counties in Hebei Province have been supported, 3,000 students from the entire Taiyuan government school have also rushed to assist, and Guo Song has even sent 20,000 troops to maintain order.

This was the most serious refugee influx since Zhu Jun drove 600,000 refugees to Hexi, and there were many sick elderly people and children, so that the medical camp had to be expanded again and again, and nearly 1,000 people died of illness.

Although Li Na had already begun to evacuate to the south bank of the Yellow River, if the Zhu army and the remnants of the Wei army were not resolved, the million refugees would probably not return, and it would not be realistic to resettle them in northern Hebei.

The best way is to end the war as soon as possible, of course, Guo Song is also paying close attention to the situation in Yuancheng, Zhu Zhu's withdrawal is obviously a fake withdrawal, they can't capture Yuancheng, they can only find a way to break through the defense line from the inside.

In the big tent, Wang Yu smiled and said: "Your Highness, I don't think I will be wrong, Xu Shi must have secretly surrendered to Zhu Zhu, he sent to Luoyang twice, and came back to persuade Tian Yue and Zhu Zhu to reconcile, Zhu Zhu got Liyang, the Hebei stronghold, is also the result of his persuasion, so Zhu Zhu wants to use a counter-plan, he must rely on Xu Shize." ”

"Do you think he'll succeed?" Guo Song asked.

"The possibility of success is relatively high, Tian Xu took a stupid step and killed Tian Yue's wife, children and mother, if the news spreads, it will inevitably arouse the righteous indignation of many generals, it depends on how Xu Shi uses this matter to make a fuss."

Guo Song took a few steps and asked, "How many people in the army are loyal to Tian Yue?" ”

Wang Yu thought for a while and said: "Tian Yue is more frugal, he has always been very good to the soldiers, and when the generals above the captain are killed, he will personally go to his home to comfort and condole, in fact, Tian Chengsi has done this, so the Wei army is generally grateful to Tian's uncle and nephew, and he is more loyal, Tian Yue's cause of death is unknown, Zhu Jun attacked again, and everyone didn't care about asking the truth, but once Tian Xu confirmed the fact that he killed his brother and usurped the throne, and let everyone know that he killed Tian Yue's wife, children and mother, the military and the people's hearts will change, and Zhu Jun is also very clear about this, That's why he had to use countertactics to provoke the army's hostility towards Tian Xu. ”

Guo Song nodded, "Mr. is very reasonable, Zhu Jun's move is indeed vicious, this should be Liu Sigu's strategy, which is very in line with his style." ”

Wang Yu smiled slightly: "No matter how vicious Liu Sigu's conspiracy is, it is also to make a wedding dress for His Royal Highness, after all, yang conspiracy is the king's way." ”

This sycophant shot very well, which immediately made Guo Song feel good, and he happily praised: "A good yang plot is the king, well said!" ”

At this moment, the soldiers reported at the door: "Your Highness, the scout Lang sent Zhou Fei an urgent letter!" ”

Guo Song's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly said: "Announce his entry!" ”

When the soldiers went down, Guo Song saw that Wang Yu's face was a little strange, so he smiled and said, "Mr. should be familiar with him!" ”

Wang Yu nodded, "He used to be Tian Yue's most valued scout, but Tian Xu wanted to leave, although Tian Yue was very reluctant, but he still took care of his brotherhood, I thought he was in Yuancheng, but I didn't expect him to be here with His Royal Highness." ”

"They regard Zhou Fei as a gift, but they don't know that Zhou Fei is also a human being, and he will also look for a lord worthy of his loyalty."

At this time, Zhou Fei walked into the big tent and knelt down to report worriedly, "Your Highness Qiqi, you intercepted Xu Shize's letter to Zhu Jun outside Yuancheng City!" ”

With that, he took out the letter and presented it high.

Guo Song took the letter and said with a smile: "The brothers of this scout have made many miraculous achievements, and I will remember your first merit!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Zhou Fei stood up, but unexpectedly saw Wang Yu, he couldn't help but be stunned, Wang Yu smiled slightly: "General Zhou, don't come to harm!" ”

Zhou Fei was suddenly relieved, he still knew that birds choose good trees to perch, and of course Wang Junshi also had his own choice, would he be loyal to Tian Xu? Definitely not.

Guo Song had finished reading the letter, nodded and said to Wang Yu: "The time is ripe for us to attack!" ”
