As soon as Liu Chan finished speaking, Zhang Ji became a little frightened, and then he bowed to Liu Chan and said: "Your Majesty, Ji would like to ask your Majesty, after the Han army enters the city, can you treat me, the great Wei Dynasty, kindly as your emperor?"
"After all, he is also Ji's son-in-law."
Hahaha——
Looking at Zhang Ji's serious and sincere look, Liu Chan laughed in his heart. In fact, from the moment he found out that he was the abbot of Cao Wei, he didn't believe that Zhang Ji was sincerely surrendering.
Well...since you are going to use this trick of surrender, why don't I accompany you for a while?
If you can't see this, Liu Chan's position as emperor will be in vain!
"Okay!" Liu Chan said firmly: "I promise you, I will not kill Cao Fang."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Ji was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately took the girl next to him and said to Liu Chan again: "This is Ji's young daughter, her name is Zhang Lan. She has just turned seventeen this year. To show that I, Zhang, sincerely surrender to your majesty,
Today I dedicate my daughter to His Majesty."
Liu Chan paused when he heard this and worked for a long time.
What a beauty trap!
This picture of Lan is about 28 years old, which is exactly the age of cardamom. Although it cannot be said to be the most beautiful woman in the world, it is still a rare beauty.
As an emperor, he has control over thousands of miles of land.
Liu Chan is also a normal man. How can he not stop thinking about such a beautiful girl?
But——
Now on the battlefield, Liu Chan knows very well that being greedy for beauty at this time is tantamount to digging his own grave.
However, he cannot refuse.
Regardless of whether this is a real surrender or a fake surrender, superficiality still needs to be done.
After all, it is easy to conquer the world and bring peace to the world, but it is a very difficult thing, especially in this era of decades of chaos.
"Thank you very much!"
Liu Chan smiled, then looked at Zhang Lan and nodded slightly: "I will make you the noble Lan."
"Concubine, thank you for your kindness!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"My dear concubine, please forgive me!"
"We are on the battlefield now. I will wait until the end of the war to make up for my beloved concubine's official conferment!" Liu Chan raised his hand slightly, motioning for him to sit down next to him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Lan responded softly, and came to sit next to Liu Chan very obediently. When Zhang Lan sat down, Liu Chan looked at Zhang Ji and said with a smile: "In this way, your beloved is also my country.
My husband is married."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Ji hurriedly returned the gift, feeling overjoyed.
"Abbott!" Liu Chan said: "Now that our army is besieging the city, what strategy can the abbot have to help me attack Luoyang City?"
Zhuge Liang on the side remained silent, just paying attention to the people present.
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Ji said: "If Your Majesty wants to attack Luoyang by force, it will be difficult to do so, because before the war begins, Cao Fang has transferred most of the country's troops to Luoyang."
As he spoke, he glanced around, and then said: "Except for the 80,000 troops stationed in Yanshi County, the rest of the troops are now in Luoyang City, totaling about 130,000 people."
One hundred and thirty thousand people.
There are quite a few people.
If it weren't for the blessing of Hanwang's artillery, it would be difficult to conquer Luoyang.
After all, after Liu Chan's battles in Hongnong and Shaanxian, there were 120,000 people, but in fact there were only more than 80,000 left, but he still claimed to be an army of 100,000 to the outside world.
Even if there are 100,000 people, it is absolutely impossible to capture a city guarded by 130,000 people.
Of course, this is without the Hanwang Cannon.
At present, the Han army is outside Luoyang City, with more than 40 Hanwang cannons and more than 3,000 shells.
With this Hanwang Cannon, it will only be a matter of time before Luoyang is conquered.
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Ji continued: "Although Your Majesty has the Hanwang Cannon under his command, in Luoyang City, in addition to the hundreds of thousands of Wei troops, there are nearly 300,000 civilians."
"The Han king's artillery is too powerful. Once the artillery fire attacks, I'm afraid the people of Luoyang..." Zhang Ji said and sighed: "The people of Wei will definitely suffer."
That makes sense.
Liu Chan also thinks so.
He also hopes to win this war at the minimum cost.
If he hadn't been worried about hurting innocent people, he would have bombarded Luoyang violently. If he really said that throwing more than 3,000 shells into Luoyang City, whether it was 130,000 Wei troops or nearly 300,000 people, they would definitely be destroyed.
There will be heavy casualties.
Cao Fang——
How can one be spared?
"Then..." Liu Chan was silent for a moment and asked: "If I use the plan of the state leader, what strategy should I use to capture Luoyang?"
No matter whether Zhang Ji really surrendered or pretended to surrender.
Since he has brought his daughter here.
He always has to give Liu Chan some advice, otherwise the surrender would be in vain.
"Return to Your Majesty!" Zhang Ji said: "Tomorrow at 2:00 am, I will open the east gate for Your Majesty. Your Majesty can lead the army into the city..."
Haha——
What an idea.
What a good father-in-law.
If he is true, it is this father-in-law who opened the door of the eldest son-in-law's house and let the younger son-in-law lead his troops to come in.
"Thank you, Father!" Liu Chan also returned the gift.
"I don't dare!" Zhang Ji said: "Your Majesty, please remember your promise. After the city is broken, please treat the Cao Wei royal family kindly."
"Don't worry, Emperor!" Liu Chan said loudly: "My attack on Wei this time is not to kill people and set fire, but to realize the unification of the world as soon as possible so that the people of the world can live in peace."
"Besides -" Liu Chan said, patted Zhang Lan's jade hand, and said with a smile: "Calculate your identity, Cao Fang is still my eldest brother-in-law... hahaha..." After that, he paused
After a pause, he shook his head again, which made Zhang Ji surprised, thinking that the emperor had regretted it again.
However, Liu Chan shook his head and said with a smile: "Actually, before this, I was related to the royal family of Cao Wei. Princess Dongxiang of the Cao family is now my imperial concubine. In this way, I am also Cao Fang.
uncle."
"Alas!" Liu Chan said helplessly: "This relationship is really messy."
Hearing what Liu Chan said, Zhang Ji let out a sigh of relief. It turned out that Liu Chan was thinking about this.
"So!" Liu Chan said, "No matter what, I and the Cao family are all relatives." He looked at Zhang Ji and said with a smile, "After the world is unified, I will definitely not persecute my relatives."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Ji saluted, then saluted Zhuge Liang, and finally said: "I was ordered to go out of the city to negotiate with His Majesty, but now I have surrendered to Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Ji continued: "I will take my leave now, and please your Majesty to act according to your plan. Tomorrow, at the second update, I will be at the east gate of Luoyang to greet Your Majesty!"
"Okay!" Liu Chan was very satisfied and said with a smile: "Send it to the father-in-law!"
Zhang Ji hurriedly left the Han camp and returned to Luoyang on a fast horse. Liu Chan was very free here. Because Zhang Ji dedicated his daughter Zhang Lan to Liu Chan, Liu Chan couldn't be too indifferent to her, so he took Zhang Lan with him in the camp.
I walked around for quite a while.
"Your Majesty!"
Zhang Lan looked at the Han soldiers and said with envy: "The Han is such a mighty warrior, he is really invincible in the world."
"My beloved concubine deserves a prize!" Liu Chan said: "My beloved concubine has lived in Luoyang for a long time. I wonder if, in my beloved concubine's opinion, I can capture Luoyang without using the King of Han cannon?"
"Yeah!" Zhang Lan nodded and said, "The Han soldiers are so mighty that even without the use of the Hanwang Cannon, it would be easy to capture Luoyang."
"Oh!" Liu Chan suddenly laughed: "Could it be that in my beloved concubine's eyes, the Wei army is just a bunch of rabble?"
"Hee hee!" Zhang Lan also laughed when she heard this, and she said: "I am now His Majesty's concubine, so naturally I am facing His Majesty. Even if the Wei army now has millions of people, I will feel that it is Your Majesty who will win in the end!
”
Pfft——
Liu Chan almost choked.
Does this mean whose food you eat and whose words you speak?
However, after this conversation, Liu Chan clearly understood that this little girl is very sophisticated and knows how to talk to people and talk to ghosts.
If it were placed in a peaceful time, this little girl would definitely be the most comfortable one in the harem, because you can't pay for your life by coaxing someone to death.
The two lingered in the tent for a while, and then Liu Chan took Zhang Lan back to his tent. After sitting in the tent for a while, Liu Chan temporarily left the tent on the grounds that he wanted to discuss some military affairs with the prime minister.
Liu Chan came to Zhuge Liang's camp.
Zhuge Liang had a nervous look on his face. When he saw Liu Chan, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, the war is about to begin. Zhang Ji's coming this time is a trick."
"Your Majesty..."
Zhuge Liang seemed to have something to say, but in the end he was unable to say it. However, Liu Chan helped him say it: "My father-in-law means that I cannot favor Zhang Lan."
"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhuge Liang said: "Zhang Ji is Cao Fang's father-in-law. Now that the war is about to begin, he brings his daughter to surrender. There must be something fishy in this."
"Yes!" Liu Chan nodded slightly: "I and my father-in-law coincided with each other. Today I learned that it was Zhang Ji who came to surrender, but I don't believe that he really surrendered."
"As for this Zhang Lan... haha..." Liu Chan laughed and said, "It's hard to say whether she is Zhang Ji's daughter or not. Her purpose must be to assassinate me."
"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhuge Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Today in the Chinese military tent, Zhuge Liang saw that Zhang Ji's surrender was a fraud. However, the emperor Liu Chan was uncharacteristically cooperative at that time, and it was difficult for him to expose it in public. After all, over the years, the emperor was no longer the obedient Adou he used to be.
He must have his reasons for doing this.
"Don't worry, Xiangfu!" Liu Chan said with a smile: "This girl can't kill me yet."
"But..." Liu Chan said, leaning against Zhuge Liang and whispering. Zhuge Liang couldn't help but nodded, and finally said with some joy: "Your Majesty is wise, this plan is very good."
"Then let's act according to plan!" Liu Chan said casually.
On the other side, Zhang Ji returned to Luoyang and went directly to the palace to meet Cao Fang.
"Is this serious?" Cao Fang looked a little incredulous.
"I dare not hide it from Your Majesty!" Zhang Ji said with a smile: "Then Liu Adou is a lecherous person. His eyes seemed to freeze when he saw Lan'er."
"Then the minister said that he hoped that the Han army could treat the Wei royal family well after breaking the city!" Zhang Ji became more and more excited as he spoke, and immediately laughed: "Then Liu Adou finally became relatives with your majesty, what if according to Lan?
According to this relationship with my son, your majesty is his eldest brother-in-law. According to the relationship with Princess Dongxiang, he is your majesty’s uncle.”
"Hahaha!" Zhang Ji laughed twice and finally said: "He also said that he was doing it for the unification of the world, not for murder and arson. After the world is unified, he will definitely treat His Majesty well."
"Humph!" Cao Fang said coldly: "Why do I need him to treat me kindly?" After saying that, he paused, and then sighed: "I just feel sorry for Miss Lan'er."
Hearing this, Zhang Ji smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry, Lan'er is just a cheap maid. If the old minister hadn't adopted her as his adopted daughter, she would have starved to death on the streets."
"That's fine!" Cao Fang said: "After the Han army retreats, I will bury him with a generous burial."
"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhang Ji complimented.
It was Empress Dowager Guo's intention to send Zhang Ji out of the city to pretend to surrender, because Empress Dowager Guo knew that Zhang Ji had an adopted daughter named Zhang Lan, who was very beautiful.
Nowadays, the emperor of the Han Dynasty leads a personal expedition, and the surrender of ordinary ministers may be difficult to shake.
If the father of Cao Wei surrenders with his daughter, maybe he can give it a try.
Because Queen Mother Guo heard that Liu Chan was a lustful person.
The reason is that during the Han-Wei dynasty, the Wei Dynasty originally wanted to marry Princess Cao Ling of Dongxiang to Chang'an. I don't know what happened to Liu Adou. Not only did he want to marry Cao Ling, but he also named Wang Yuanji, the granddaughter of Situ Wanglang.
.
I guess I heard others say that Wang Yuanji is a great beauty.
After all, Wang Yuanji's reputation was not low when she was in Luoyang.
This time, let the father-in-law offer his daughter.
Haha——
...
The next morning.
The Han army's camp suddenly burst into mourning, and many white sails were hung around the camp.
Luoyang Imperial Palace.
Imperial Study Room.
Zhang Ji hurried in and saluted Cao Fang before he came, then shouted loudly: "Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
"It's done! It's done!"
Zhang Ji has an old face and smiles like a flower.
Cao Fang was also stunned: "What happened?"
Zhang Ji said with great joy: "Liu Chan...Liu Adou...Liu Adou is dead!"
"Really!" Cao Fang stood up violently, looking a little unbelievable: "He is really dead, has there been any investigation?"
"Really, Your Majesty!" Zhang Ji said: "According to reports from spies outside the city, at midnight today, the Han army's camp was filled with mourning and white sails filled the camp."
"Hou Xizuo sneaked into the Han camp and it has been confirmed that Liu Adou died of poisoning at the beginning of the day!" Zhang Ji said.
"Great!"
"Great!"
Cao Fang was also overjoyed. He didn't sleep all night. According to the plan, Zhang Ji offered Zhang Lan to Liu Chan, and then Zhang Lan poisoned Liu Chan to death.
"Miss Lan'er is my number one hero in the Wei Dynasty!"
"Miss Lan'er is my number one hero in the Wei Dynasty!"
The development of the matter was beyond Cao Fang's expectation. Although according to the Queen Mother Guo, Liu Adou was a lustful person. If he saw a young and beautiful woman like Zhang Lan, he would definitely neglect to take precautions. This is exactly what Zhang Lan did.
Good opportunity.
But——
Cao Fang is also a little worried. Even if Liu Chan is lustful, will Zhang Lan really succeed so easily?
After all, Liu Chan has been the emperor for decades. It is not easy to poison his food and wine. Once the Han army finds out, not only will Zhang Lan die, but he will also anger Liu Chan and force him to
He immediately launched an attack on Luoyang.
Just——
Cao Fang seemed to have no other choice. After all, one hundred thousand Han troops were besieging the city, and there were seven Han troops raging on the border, not to mention the powerful Hanwang artillery.
In a head-to-head confrontation, the Wei army is no match for the Han army.
It's fine now.
Liu Adou is dead.
Liu Adou is dead.
