However, after a while, Wuqiu Xiu was also woken up from his sleep by the soldiers and invited to Gongsun Yuan's side.

"Gongsun Taishou, what happened, why did I vaguely hear the shouting of killing, and all the soldiers and horses in the house were mobilized." Seeing Gongsun Yuan, Wu Qiu Xiu hurriedly asked Gongsun Yuan.

Gongsun Yuan snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, Beiyan, who is as timid as a mouse, saw that I decided to form an alliance with your Wei State, and was afraid of fighting the Han Dynasty, so he actually led his troops to rebel." Now that he has led his troops to take down four gates, he is about to kill them. ”

"This ......" Wu Qiu Xiu was shocked when he heard this: "He is about to attack the Taishou Mansion, so I don't know what the Taishou has planned?" ”

Gongsun Yuan patted Wu Qiuxiu's shoulder and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, the soldiers and horses under the command of Beiyan were all given to him by me, and those soldiers and horses were just bewitched and threatened by Beiyan."

When the time comes, see how I can turn those soldiers and horses against each other, and let the humble reap the consequences. ”

Compared with Gongsun Yuan, Wu Qiu Xiu was not so optimistic, and worried: "There are more than 20,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Beiyan, and most of them must be afraid of the big man, so he can lead those soldiers and horses to rebel against Taishou."

It's just a demagogic threat, I'm afraid it won't make 20,000 soldiers and horses listen to him. ”

Gongsun Yuan said with a smile: "Even so, you don't have to worry, my Taishou Mansion is built like an imperial city, there are 3,000 soldiers and horses in the palace, and the stored grain and grass are enough to support more than a month, and Beiyan can't attack it in a short time."

After a long time, the soldiers and horses of the surrounding cities will get the news and will definitely lead troops to support, and then Beiyan can only be a dead end. ”

Hearing this, Wu Qiu Xiu was relieved and said with a smile: "Taishou's mansion is indeed impregnable, as long as it is well defended, it will not be able to attack Na Beiyan." I have a lot of experience in defense, and I am willing to help the fortification, but I don't know how to be too guarded? ”

"Hey, the body of Wuqiu's envoy Wanjin, on behalf of the Emperor of Wei, how can he personally take risks? The fortification has its own generals to do, and I called the envoy of Wuqiu to come over to protect the envoy well. Gongsun Yuan waved his hand and said to a general: "You have to protect the messenger every step of the way, if the envoy has any mistakes, I will ask you!" ”

"Yes!" The general gave up his orders and stood behind Wuqiuxiu, really protecting Wuqiuxiu every step of the way.

Wu Qiu Xiu frowned slightly when he saw this, but he didn't say anything.

In fact, Gongsun Yuan relied on three things.

First, the soldiers and horses under Beiyan's command were all his, and Gongsun Yuan felt that with his own might, he could deter those soldiers and make them turn against Beiyan.

Second, it is the defense of the Taishou Mansion, there are 3,000 soldiers and horses in the mansion, and the grain, grass, baggage, and weapons are very sufficient, and Gongsun Yuan thinks that Beiyan cannot attack it.

And the third one to rely on is Wu Qiu Xiu.

If the first one relies on it, the second one doesn't work, the soldiers and horses can't change their minds, and the Taishou Mansion can't block the attack of Beiyan, then use the killer weapon of Wuqiu Xiu.

It's not that he expects Wuqiu Xiu to be able to repel Beiyan, but that he intends to betray Wuqiu Xiu.

Didn't you rebel against me because I was allied with Wei and were afraid of fighting the Han Dynasty, then I would kill Wuqiu Xiu and not form an alliance with Wei.

Even if I can't convince you to change your mind, those soldiers can always forgive me when they see me correcting my mistakes, right?

Wu Qiu Xiu also understood Gongsun Yuan's plans, but he didn't have anything to do about it, if he couldn't come up with a plan to eliminate Beiyan, Gongsun Yuan would not give up his last straw.

"General Qiyu, the defenders of the four gates have all been taken, and our army has successfully captured the four gates of Xiangping!"

"General Qiyu, during this time, no one has escaped from the city!"

At the Chengguan Office, Bei Yan and Fu Jian, Luo Xian was listening to the reports of the generals.

"Okay!" Beiyan was overjoyed when he heard this: "If you take the four gates of Xiangping, half of the success of the big thing!" Next, as long as you break through Gongsun Yuan's mansion, please go out to guard Gongsun Gong, and the big thing will be decided! ”

Hearing this, the first general said worriedly: "But Gongsun Yuan's Taishou Mansion is built like a city, and there are still 3,000 defenders in it, and now that they have received the news, they are afraid that they are already arranging defenses."

If we can't break through the Taishou Mansion in a short time, then the nearby cities are afraid that they will soon get the news and send troops to support, and then we will be in trouble. ”

When Bei Yan heard this, his face sank, and he couldn't help but look at Luo Xian, Fu Jian asked, "Two little brothers, do you have any solutions?" ”

"Don't worry about this!" Fu Jian smiled and said, "Let's first try to see if we can take down the Taishou Mansion tonight, if not, then build a return cannon!" ”

"Return to the gun?" Beiyan's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Is it the invincible return cannon that your Han used to attack the city?" ”

Fu Jian nodded and said: "Yes, it is this, I know the method of building the return cannon, Gongsun Yuan's Taishou Mansion is not big, gather a group of skilled craftsmen, and it is enough to build ten in two days."

Within two days, the surrounding cities will not be able to send any soldiers and horses, and even if they can come, we have an army of 20,000 to stop them outside the city! ”

"Well, I'm relieved to have this shot." Bei Yan made up his mind when he heard this, and said to Fu Jian: "Then let's try it now, if we can capture the Taishou Mansion, if we can take it down tonight, it will be great." ”

After a few discussions, they left 1,000 soldiers and horses at each of the four gates to guard the town, and then rushed to Taishou Mansion with the remaining 16,000 soldiers and horses.

Gongsun Yuan's Taishou Mansion, although it was built like a city, was not a real city after all, and the scale was a little small. More than 16,000 people surrounded the Taishou Mansion.

Beiyan rode his horse to the gate of the Taishou Mansion.

The gate of Gongsun Yuan's mansion, sitting in the north and facing south, the gate is built like a city gate, and there are walls around it, and there is a female wall on it, which can stand people, and the city wall is almost the same.

At this moment, on the women's wall, there are soldiers standing, all of them are tense.

Gongsun Yuan got the news and came to hear the news.

Seeing Beiyan under the city, Gongsun Yuan was furious, and pointed at Beiyan and scolded: "Beiyan, you are so bold, I treat you well, you dare to rebel and betray the lord for glory?" ”

Beiyan had already let go, and he didn't have the slightest fear of Gongsun Yuan, so he shot back without hesitation: "Gongsun Yuan, it's obvious that you rebelled first."

Gongsun was canonized by the Han Dynasty and guarded Liaodong, and you have been favored by the Han Dynasty for generations, but now you don't want to serve the country, but collude with the pseudo-Wei to plot to become the emperor.

Although I am your subordinate, I am also a Hanchen, and now I am raising troops, but I am just setting things right, how can I say that I am rebelling?

For your own selfish desires, you agreed to form an alliance with Wei, but did you ever scruple about tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Liaodong? The Han Dynasty is extremely strong, if I Liaodong fights against the Han Dynasty, won't those soldiers and horses die in vain?

If you want to be the king and the emperor, first ask my brother if he agrees! ”

"No promise, no promise!"

When the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses heard this, they raised their weapons and shouted in unison.
