Chapter 1667: Trickery
The defenders in the city of Wuping Mansion naturally discovered the abnormal situation outside the city early, and before the soldiers and horses outside the city approached, they had already closed the city gate, and quickly sent people to inform the guards of the other gates.
The soldiers guarding Wuping Mansion were all Hexi Praetorian Guards, Feng Yuanpo and Hexi officials went to the Heavenly Palace to participate in the birthday ceremony, and the city defense of Wuping Mansion certainly did not take it lightly.
The Hexi Praetorian Guard under Feng Poyu's command far exceeded the number of provinces in the Guannai, because it was located on the border, the strength of the Hexi Praetorian Guard exceeded the maximum establishment of 5,000 people, reaching nearly 8,000 people.
The Hexi Praetorian Guard was not far from Wuping Mansion, and the city always maintained more than 2,000 troops to guard the city gate and maintain order in the city.
Feng Yuanpo was careful, and before the birthday ceremony, he was worried that Xuanyuan Shao's royal guards would cause chaos, so he dispatched Feng Poyu to lead thousands of Hexi Praetorian Guards to be stationed near the Heavenly Palace.
The Royal Guards are stationed in the east of the Heavenly Palace, and the Hexi Praetorian Guards are stationed in the west.
There are 2,000 soldiers and horses in Wuping Mansion, guarding the city gates, a large number of soldiers and horses come from the west, the defenders of the West Gate are naturally ready to fight, Feng Yuanpo has issued a military order, during the sacrifice to the heavens, no soldiers and horses can enter or leave the city of Wuping Mansion, the Praetorian Guard regards Feng Yuanpo's military order as a golden rule, and naturally will not disobey.
The banner is waving, the morale is strong, but the face of the Yunzhou Qianhu Wei'an is not good-looking, close to the city of Wuping, seeing the flag fluttering at the head of the city, it is the same as before, and the face is slightly softened.
"Lord Qianhu, it seems that there is nothing unusual on the side of Wuping Mansion." A hundred households next to him also seemed to be relieved.
Wei An was noncommittal, but at this moment he also heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the south, holding the horsewhip in his hand, he turned his head to look over, and saw a group of cavalry galloping over, it seemed that there were five or six hundred horsemen, the horses were vigorous, and under the sunset, the hooves sounded like thunder and rumbled.
"It's the Praetorian Guard under Feng's command." The hundred households immediately said, the cavalry rushed, and on the fluttering banner, the word "Feng" was written, just looking at the armor and equipment of that group of people, he knew that it was the Hexi Praetorian Guard.
Wei An turned around and said: "Pass the order, rest in place, don't act rashly without the order of the general." "As soon as he pulled the reins of the horse, he turned around and headed south, and no pegasus met him.
As soon as the cavalry of the Hexi Praetorian Guard said that they had arrived, the speed slowed down, and Wei An was calm and relaxed, and when he saw the team approaching, he shook the reins of his horse lightly and moved forward to meet him for a distance.
The Hexi Praetorian Guard took the lead, burly and straight, holding a spear in his hand, and his eyes were cold, it was Feng Poyu, the commander of the Hexi Praetorian Guard.
"Feng Tong, how is the situation in the Heavenly Palace?" Wei An asked in a loud voice, "Where is Feng Du now?" His eyes were anxious at the moment, and the corners of his eyes jumped.
Feng Poyu didn't answer and asked, "Wei Qianhu, how did you lead the troops here?" Governor Feng ordered you to lead your troops to capture Fanmen County and beware of the Liaodong Army from attacking Hexi, why didn't you obey the military order? ”
"The red preparation of Fanmen City is gone." Wei An was a little annoyed and said: "They don't want to occupy Fanmen County, now Fanmen County should have been taken by Tan Qianhu." ”
"Oh?" Feng Poyu asked, "Could it be that Chibei retreated by himself?" ”
"Retirement?" Wei An sneered: "They have already rushed through Fanmen Mountain and come straight to Wuping Mansion...... Feng Tongzhi, there is no news of Chibei on your side? ”
Feng Poyu frowned and said, "I don't understand what you mean. ”
"According to the plan, the major general transferred the generals of Chibei, originally thinking that he would ambush and capture them on the way, capture them in one fell swoop, and then take advantage of the leaderlessness of the Chibei group to take the ...... of Fanmen City in one fell swoop!"
"I know that." Feng Poyu said: "Where is the young general now?" ”
Wei An smiled bitterly: "The young general is only afraid that he has fallen for their strategy, and Chibei Qianhu deliberately followed the young general out of the city, and there must be marks along the way...... Originally, the barbarian ambush soldiers in the ambush could have captured the group of Chibei, but ...... Unexpectedly, the eight hundred Chibei who were originally guarding Fanmen City almost poured out of the nest ......! ”
Feng Poyu frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”
"The major general failed to capture the leader of Chibei, but fell into the hands of Chibei." Wei An pressed the saber in one hand, and the green tendons on the back of his hand appeared, "Tan Lu didn't expect that Chibei would go out of the nest, and he was still preparing to take the opportunity to attack Fanmen City, but Chibei took advantage of the loophole, rushed out of the main road, and killed Fanmen Mountain...... Hundreds of red preparations, Feng Commander can be predicted, with only those thousand barbarian cavalry, how can they be stopped? ”
Feng Poyu's brows furrowed even more.
The Liaodong Iron Cavalry is the strongest cavalry corps in Great Qin, and Chibei is the elite of the elite, and thousands of barbarian cavalry naturally cannot be the opponent of hundreds of Chibei.
"How do you know that the Major General has fallen into their hands?"
"Thousands of barbarian cavalry, almost all of them were wiped out, and only a few dozen escaped." When Wei An said this, he had palpitations, "They saw Chibei chasing and killing the young general, and after that, the young general disappeared, and he must have fallen into the hands of Chibei." ”
"Where is Chibi now?"
Wei An shook his head and said: "I originally led my troops to Fanmen, but I met the barbarian soldiers who escaped on the way, and I learned that Chibei had come to Wuping Mansion, so I could only turn around and chase after that Chibei." ”
"You have nearly 10,000 horses here, and you haven't been able to find any trace of Chibei?" Feng Poyu said strangely.
Wei An said: "They are like ghosts, suddenly disappeared, from yesterday to now, we have not rested for a moment, but we have not found any trace of Chibei at all, thinking that Chibei is possible to come to Wuping Mansion, so I chased here." He glanced at the head of Wuping Mansion, "Now it seems that Chibei has not come to Wuping Mansion either." ”
Feng Poyu sneered: "Since they are here, if they want to escape, it will be as difficult as the sky." ”
"Commander Feng, what is the situation of the Heavenly Palace?" Wei An leaned over and asked in a deep voice, "Is the plan complete?" ”
Whether it is Feng Poyu or Wei An, they are Feng Yuanpo's henchmen, this sacrifice to the heavens, killing Chi Lian Dian or even Xuanyuan Shao, is the ultimate goal, waiting to kill Chi Lian Dian and Xuanyuan Shao, using the puppet emperor as a tool, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, this plan Feng Po Yu and Wei An are involved, at this time Wei An is most concerned about whether Feng Yuanpo's plan is perfectly achieved.
Feng Poyu smiled faintly: "What does Wei Qianhu think? ”
Wei An frowned and said, "I was worried, that's why I asked." ”
"Oh?" Feng Poyu said: "Wei Qianhu is worried? What are you worried about, do you think Feng Du will fail? ”
Wei An didn't say much, took out a thing from his arms, threw it to Feng Poyu, and said, "Feng Tongzhi take a look, what is written on this is true or false." ”
Feng Poyu took it, it was a yellow silk, opened it to see, but it was a holy decree, frowned, glanced at it, his expression changed slightly, Wei An had already sneered: "On the way here, I happened to bump into a few people, they said that they were sent by the emperor, and it was a coincidence that they were just going to convey the holy decree to me...... ”
Feng Poyu didn't speak, just threw the yellow silk back to Wei An, clenched the spear in his hand, and asked, "Wei Qianhu thinks what this holy decree says is true or false?" ”
"You mean Feng Du has been killed?"
Wei An said with a smile: "On the Holy Decree, not only does it say that Feng Du was killed, and the barbarians have taken refuge in the emperor, but also that you, Feng Tong, have also sworn allegiance to the emperor......!" ”
Feng Poyu's eyes showed a cold light, snorted coldly, and said, "Wei Qianhu believes what he said above? ”
"Naturally, I don't believe it." Wei An said with a smile: "Even if everyone in the world betrays Feng Du, you Feng Commander will not." Feng Du is as kind as a mountain to the ruler, and the ruler is a person who values love and righteousness, and this alone can conclude that this holy decree must be nonsense. ”
Feng Poyu bowed slightly, nodded and said, "I'm afraid that someone wants to sow discord, so he issued such a will." ”
Wei An smiled indifferently, and then frowned: "Commander Feng, having said that, who issued this decree?" It's covered with a jade seal...... If Feng Governor controlled the situation in the Heavenly Palace, how could he let such a decree be issued from the Heavenly Palace. He raised his head and looked south, "Could it be that there is something else going on in the Heavenly Palace?" ”
"Oh?" Feng Poyu frowned and said, "Wei Qianhu thinks that Feng Du's plan has changed? ”
Wei An shook his head and said: "The situation is unknown, and I can't assert it, but this will is very strange...... The ruler came from the side of the Heavenly Palace, but didn't he find any signs? Did Xuanyuan Shao's guards not move? ”
Feng Poyu shook his head and said, "I have been sending people to keep an eye on it, but I have not seen the guards mobilize troops and horses...... Yes, Wei Qianhu, this will says that Feng Du rebelled and was executed, so that you led the people to be loyal to the imperial court, and immediately made the marquis, if it is true, how do you choose? ”
"Choose?" Wei An said with a smile: "I have been following Feng Du for many years, from the very beginning, there is no way out, Feng Du has achieved great things, we are naturally on the rise, otherwise...... Hehe, what is the title of Marquis, it is just an expedient measure, if this will is true, Governor Feng is defeated, and the court controls the situation, then even if we are loyal to the title, it will not be long before the court will definitely settle accounts after the autumn, and none of us will survive at that time...... Knowing this, wouldn't it be foolish for us to believe it......! ”
Feng Poyu bowed slightly, and Wei An had already said: "Feng is in charge, the situation is unknown, I think we can send people to defend Wuping Mansion first, and then join forces in one place, and rush to the Heavenly Palace as much as possible, and see what the situation is......!" ”
"To the Heavenly Palace?" Feng Poyu frowned.
Wei An sneered: "The Chibei Raiders did not have an order, and entered the territory of Hexi without authorization, which is equivalent to rebellion, and we just used this excuse to lead the troops to the Heavenly Palace, only saying that we wanted to chase after Chibei." Isn't there no evidence of the Red Refining Rebellion, isn't this the best evidence now? He clenched his fists and said: "When you arrive at the Heavenly Palace, ask to see Feng Du, as long as Feng Du comes out, we can know what the plan is." ”
Feng Poyu said solemnly: "Wei Qianhu, have you made up your mind that you will never be loyal to the imperial court, and you will follow Feng Du in life and death?" ”
"That's nature." Wei An didn't hesitate, "Isn't this the intention of Feng Tongzhi?" ”
"That is ......!" Feng Poyu clenched his spear, his eyes bursting with cold light, "Then you will accompany Feng Yuanpo to hell together!" As he spoke, the spear was already like a poisonous snake, and it had already been raised, and it stabbed straight into Wei An's heart.
