After the military meeting ended that day, Zhang Qigong invited Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, to his tent.

Waiting for the two of them to sit across from each other to decide, Zhang Qigong first asked Han Pu with a smile: "Your Majesty, what do you think of our Wei soldiers and generals today?"

Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, praised repeatedly. Although looking back a few decades ago, the Wei State was weakened due to the king of Wei Zhao Kang and was trembling under the threat of South Korea. However, through the efforts of two generations of monarchs, Zhao Si and Zhao Run, the Wei State today has

It was so powerful that it shocked the entire Central Plains.

Look at the Wei army gathered at the border of Shanggu County at this moment, including the Hanoi Army, the Suppression Army, the Wei Wu Army, and the Yanling Army. Which one is not a well-armed and well-trained elite army? Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, has no doubt that these Wei armies will eventually

Can conquer Ji City.

But when it came to the current obstacles faced by the Wei army, Zhang Qigong said with a worried look: "As the prince said, our army of Wei will eventually break through Jicheng, but Han will defend Leyi to the death and struggle to the death."

, this is also called our army..."

Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, understood immediately and lowered his voice and asked, "What do you mean, Master Zhang... get rid of Le Yi?"

After saying that, he couldn't help but glance behind Zhang Qigong and saw two expressionless assassins in black standing there.

Han Pu knew that they were the Black Crows under Zhang Qigong, a group of assassins with amazing skills and strength.

Perhaps noticing Han Pu's eyes, Zhang Qigong also looked back, then waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, this is definitely not advisable."

It is undeniable that Zhang Qigong really wanted to get rid of Han General Le Yi, but he was not stupid enough to send assassins to assassinate Le Yi. After all, as the commander of the Korean army, Le Yi always had many guards around him. No matter how powerful the Black Crows were,

It is also impossible to lurk in the camp of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Korean troops and assassinate the coach Le Yi among countless Korean soldiers.

What's more, such a despicable method as assassination will not be recognized by the world. The reputation of the Wei army and even the state of Wei will be greatly reduced because of this incident.

"...Zhang means, can you think of a way to ask Jicheng to replace Le Yi."

Zhang Qigong revealed his true plan.

"I see."

Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, suddenly understood. After stroking his beard, he frowned and said, "This matter may not be easy... At the moment, Li Hou Han Wu is in charge of Jicheng. As far as I know, there seems to be no conflict between Han Wu and Le Yi...

…”

Zhang Qigong heard this and said with a smile: "If there is no conflict, then create a conflict... As far as Zhang knows, Le Yi is Zhuang Gong Han Geng's favorite general, and Zhuang Gong Han Geng is currently in Jicheng, right?"

Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, nodded.

Seeing this, Zhang Qigong lowered his voice and said: "Junhou, can you think of a way to let Zhang's black crows sneak into Jicheng?"

"this……"

Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, touched his beard on his chin, frowned slightly and said, "Little Marquis, let's give it a try...Does Mr. Zhang still remember Xu Huai from "Gu County"?"

Zhang Qigong was stunned when he heard this, and then asked: "Before you and I attacked Gu County, Xu Huai secretly ordered people to send a surrender letter to our army, hoping that our army would not harm his family after breaking the city?...Why did you mention this?

people?"

I have to say that Zhang Qigong was not deeply impressed by Xu Huai, because during his Wei army's large-scale attack on South Korea, many Korean nobles and aristocratic families had secretly communicated with the Wei army before the city was broken, just like Zhao Jiang and Shao Hu.

, Pang Huan, Qu Cheng and other Wei generals held in their hands the "letters of allegiance" of countless Korean nobles and aristocratic families, waiting to be submitted to Wei King Zhao Run when they returned home in the future, and the latter would issue them.

Among them was Xu Huai from Gu County.

Seeing Zhang Qigong's expression of confusion, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, explained: "Xu Huai from Gu County, his son "Xu Feng" married the daughter of a branch of the "Tu family" in Jicheng, and his brother-in-law "Tu Gen",

Currently, I am serving as the gatekeeper of the West City in Jicheng... You can call Xu Feng to come and ask him to meet Tu Gen in private."

Zhang Qigong thought for a while and thought he could give it a try.

The camp of the Hanoi army under the command of King Zhao Jiang of Yan was being built about forty miles northwest of Gu County. That night Zhang Qigong sent people to wait for Yin time the next day, then Xu Feng hurried to the camp of the Wei army.

It can be seen that Xu Feng, who was only in his twenties, was suddenly summoned by Zhang Qigong and felt very nervous.

Seeing this, Zhang Qigong comforted Xu Fengdao: "Young Patriarch, don't panic, Zhang has no ill intentions, Zhang just wants to give a credit to the Young Patriarch..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng calmed down a little.

Although he was not deeply involved in the world, he could guess that Zhang Qigong had promised him credit, so there must be something for him to do, and it might be very dangerous.

But unfortunately, he could not refuse. After all, Gu County was already occupied by the Wei army at this moment. If Zhang Qigong was displeased, his whole Xu family would probably suffer.

"Please make public announcement."

Seeing this, Zhang Qigong summoned Yang Yi, the leader of the Black Crows, and said to Xu Feng: "Young Master, please take this person to Jicheng to meet your brother-in-law Tu Gen. As for the rest of the matter, there is no need for Young Master

That's it." After that, he promised Xu Feng: "As long as the young master of the family can persuade your brother-in-law Tu Gen to provide convenience, Zhang will allow you to make a great contribution."

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng immediately guessed that Zhang Qigong wanted him to rebel against his brother-in-law Tu Gen. He thought about it carefully and felt that this matter was not dangerous. After all, he had a close relationship with his brother-in-law Tu Gen.

Yes, even if the latter guessed that he had defected to Wei, they might not harm him.

So he promised: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I will do my best."

Zhang Qigong praised a few words and then handed over the follow-up matters to Yang Yi.

On the same day, Yang Yi took You Gui and several other black crows with him, and took Xu Feng to Jicheng.

Because there were many Korean military patrols and sentries along the way, but the few Black Crows were not ordinary people, they took Xu Fengzhuan through the remote mountain trails. Although they took a lot of detours, they were better at being secretive, but it was a lot of hardship.

Feng, following those inhuman black crows, they traveled through mountains and rivers, and were almost exhausted to death.

Especially after breaking away from the defense line deployed by the Korean army in Shanggu County, Yang Ji and others accelerated the process.

All in all, after several days of traveling, the group finally arrived at the west gate of Jicheng.

At this time, Xu Feng's brother-in-law Tu Gen was patrolling on the city tower. Suddenly he heard that a soldier came to report that it was his old friend who came to visit him, so he went down to the city to take a look. When he saw his brother-in-law Xu Feng, he couldn't help but feel...

A little thump.

After all, at this time, the news of the fall of Handan North County had been sent to Jicheng. Seeing that his brother-in-law Xu Feng was safe and sound and not even injured at all, Tu Gen guessed that his brother-in-law and his family might have defected to the Wei army.

At this moment, Tu Gen had two choices, either to report his brother-in-law's family so that the Tu family would sever ties with his in-laws, or...

"Come with me!"

After a brief hesitation, Tu Gen still brought Xu Feng, Yang Ji and others up to the tower.

He first questioned Xu Feng alone, asking whether the latter had surrendered to the Wei army and whether he came to contact him again on the order of the Wei army today.

Xu Feng did not hide anything, and Zhang Qigong explained his request exactly.

After listening to his brother-in-law's story, Tu Gen fell into deep thought.

In the end, Tu Gen agreed to Xu Feng's plea and used his power to incorporate Yang Yi and several other black crows into his own defense force at the west city gate.

Not only did Tu Gen have a very good relationship with his brother-in-law Xu Feng, but Tu Gen also considered that the Wei army was currently so powerful that Jicheng might not be protected. Therefore, by forming a good alliance with the Wei army, it also left a way out for his family.

Under the cover of Tu Gen, Yang Ji and others were finally able to move freely within Jicheng City.

Immediately, Yang Ji and his party were divided into two groups. The ghosts tried to contact the Green Crows in the city and asked them to provide support, while Yang Ji himself went to visit Han Geng, Duke Zhuang, who lived in the city at that time.

Recently, Duke Zhuang Han Geng has been doing nothing at home. Apart from paying attention to the battle situation in Shanggu County every day, he has almost nothing to do.

That night, when Duke Zhuang Han Geng had nothing to do and was reading in the study of the palace, a figure flashed outside the study door. When Han Geng subconsciously raised his head, he saw that there was another person in the room.

If it were anyone else, most of them would be shocked at this moment, but Han Geng was unfazed.

Because Zhuang Gong Han Geng never had any grudges with others. On the contrary, he was always willing to do good and charitable, and he had almost no enemies.

What's more, he has a high position but little power, especially now that Lihou Han Wu is in control of the country's affairs. Han Geng can't think of anyone who wants to harm him.

So, he asked calmly: "Who are you at this step? Why don't you invite yourself in? This is not what a gentleman does."

After hearing this, the man closed the door, cupped his hands and said to Han Geng, "I am Xia Yangji, the leader of the Black Crows under Zhang Qigong, the Zuodu Lieutenant of the Tiance Mansion of the Great Wei Dynasty."

"The Great Wei...the Black Crows..."

Zhuang Gong Han Geng was slightly startled. It seems that with his status, he is no stranger to the two secret assassin organizations of Wei Wang Zhao Run, the Green Crow Clan and the Black Crow Clan.

"I wonder what the leader wants?" he asked calmly.

Yang Ji took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Han Geng and said, "This is written by Zhang Qigong and Captain Zhang himself. He ordered me to forward it to Duke Zhuang."

Zhuang Gong Han Geng glanced at Yang Ji, stood up, took the letter from the latter's hand, spread it out and looked at it.

The content of the letter does not need to be detailed. It is nothing more than Zhang Qigong using both soft and hard tactics in the hope of inciting Han Geng to rebel.

After reading it carefully, Han Geng complied with Yang Yi's request and burned the letter on the spot. Immediately, he said with a half-smile: "Han really doesn't know what Lieutenant Zhang was thinking about asking him to spend so much effort to instigate rebellion against Han."

Someone? Haha, like an insignificant person like Han..."

Having said this, he was suddenly startled, and the expression on his face suddenly became solemn.

Because he suddenly thought that the person who the other party really wanted to instigate rebellion might not be him, but his favorite general Le Yi - as far as he knew, his favorite general Le Yi was currently defending the city in Shanggu County, preventing the 300,000 Wei army from doing so.

inch forward.

Thinking of this, he asked: "It seems that you are actually here for Le Yi."

Seeing that the other party had guessed his intention, Yang Yi did not hide it, nodded and said: "Exactly."

"I actually admitted it..."

Duke Zhuang Han Geng looked at Yang Yi with some surprise, and suddenly asked: "If Han is unwilling to surrender to your country, will I kill Han immediately?"

"Not really." Yang Ji said with a smile: "The Lord and Lord must have guessed Captain Zhang's thoughts... If the Lord and Lord are killed, General Le Yi will definitely regard us as enemy bandits, and there will be no further discussion.

Maybe...how could I do that?"
To be continued...
