Before the war started, the entire prison was vacated.
All the prisoners were either executed in advance or recruited as local warriors. The first batch of twenty dead soldiers who carried out the fire attack were selected from the death row prisoners.
So now, there are only two people in prison, Yan Yingyuan and Fan Zhongjie.
With nothing to do, Yan Yingyuan muttered and sorted out the entire death plan from the beginning.
Fan Zhongjie couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Jianheng, are you finished? How many times have you done this? I'm tired of hearing what you say, so don't disturb my sleep."
"No, I have to comb it again before I feel at ease." Yan Yingyuan said.
"Besides sleeping, are you worried that you won't have time to sleep? You won't be able to sleep for a long time after a while."
"What are you worried about? What are you worried about?" Fan Zhongjie said, "We have spent so much money this time. Not only are we hooking up with me, the magistrate of Huai'an Prefecture, but also hooking up with you, a diligent gentleman.
He has obtained so much supplies and money, and if he still can’t deceive Dodo even though he has managed to do this, then it is God’s will.”
However, Yan Yingyuan still insisted on sorting it out from the beginning: "There is no problem with the fire attack method. Xicheng was originally an old city with narrow streets and densely packed houses. After the surrounding people moved into the city, they built a large number of wooden sheds or straw sheds along the streets and alleys.
, the fire will soon spread to the entire West City, and Jiannu will be unlucky as long as he enters the city."
Fan Zhongjie thought deeply and said: "As long as Jiannu enters the city, he will definitely die."
Yan Yingyuan continued: "There are enough fire starters such as brimstone, fire, and saltpeter, and the lead wires are also buried very concealed, and double wires are laid out, so there will be no glitches. To say the least, even if there is a glitch in the middle, as long as
Even if one fuse is lit, the fire can still spread to the entire city in a short time."
Fan Zhongjie said angrily: "There is absolutely no problem with fire attacks."
After a pause, Fan Zhongjie added: "The death plan is even more acceptable. In short, it is difficult for Duduo not to be fooled."
"Well, there should be no problem with the death plan." Yan Yingyuan nodded and said, "The only flaw is that all the people in the West City were transferred to the East City in advance, but our statement can barely be justified."
The money does not need to be transferred, and even part of the grain can be kept as bait, but the people must be transferred.
In order to explain this problem, Yan Yingyuan and Maoxiang carefully designed a conflict. The reason was that Yan Yingyuan planned to use the entire West City as a urn city, lure Jiannu into the city and set fire to the city.
Then, Maoxiang openly opposed Yan Yingyuan's plan.
Maoxiang thought that Shanyang was a thousand-year-old city and it would be a pity to burn it down.
In the end, Yan Yingyuan transferred the people in Xicheng without authorization, regardless of Maoxiang's objections.
Yan Yingyuan's move caused the relationship between the two to deteriorate. Finally, when Yan Yingyuan was preparing to transfer the food and money from Xicheng to Dongcheng, Maoxiang suddenly detained Yan Yingyuan and took control of Xicheng.
Of course, the excuse given to Hou Fangyu or Duduo was not because of the people.
It's a long-standing conflict between the two. They have had conflicts since they first came to Shanyang.
"There must be no problem with this." Fan Zhongjie said angrily, "After all, you and Brother Pijiang have planned conflicts from the beginning, and this bitch Hou Fangyu also knows this, so Duduo will definitely not be suspicious."
"I think so too." Yan Yingyuan nodded lightly and added, "The next step is Xiang Yong. Is it possible that something could happen to Xiang Yong who stayed in Xicheng?"
"How is that possible?" Fan Zhongjie shook his head.
"Except for Tiezhu and a few other captains, the Xiangyong who stayed in Xicheng didn't know the inside story at all. Even if they wanted to leak it, they couldn't. As for Tiezhu, you don't have to worry. The entire Xicheng has turned traitor. They
A few of them will never betray, because their whole family is in Dongcheng."
Yan Yingyuan said: "Will Sun Shengyu and Zhou Wenshan have any problems?"
"Impossible." Fan Zhongjie categorically shook his head and said, "Jianheng, you and Brother Pijiang came to Shanyang not long ago, and you don't know much about Sun Shengyu and Zhou Wenshan, but I have been the prefect of Huai'an for three years.
These two people know each other quite well. Although one of them is a pirate and the other a private salt dealer, they are the most righteous people and also know their integrity."
Yan Yingyuan hummed and said, "Then there will only be three of us left."
"The three of us?" Fan Zhongjie's face instantly darkened and he said angrily, "Are you suspecting that I will tell the truth? Even if I want to tell the truth, I have to get out."
Yan Yingyuan smiled and said: "Master Fu, of course you have no chance to tell the truth."
"Then you are worried about Brother Pijiang? Since you are worried about this, you should not have given him such an important task in the first place. What's more, I firmly believe that Brother Pijiang will never inform..."
Halfway through his words, Fan Zhongjie suddenly noticed something was wrong with Yan Yingyuan's face.
Fan Zhongjie also said that Yan Yingyuan was really doubting Mao Xiang, and immediately became angry: "Yan Yingyuan, what are you thinking? Brother Bijiang is not the villain you imagined, they Mao Xiang..."
"Master, don't be anxious." Yan Yingyuan said, "I have no doubts about Brother Bijiang."
"You have no suspicion?" Fan Zhongjie asked, "You have no suspicion and yet you still put on such a bad face?"
However, Yan Yingyuan shook his head and said with a dark face: "Though I have calculated it, I still missed it."
"What? Did you miss something?" Fan Zhongjie was surprised when he heard this and asked anxiously, "What did you miss?"
Yan Yingyuan said with some annoyance: "We only thought that we could deceive Duduo by using our own lives as a bargaining chip, but we completely ignored what Brother Pijiang was thinking."
"Brother Pijiang..." Fan Zhongjie said horrified upon hearing this, "You mean he can?"
"He will." Yan Yingyuan nodded heavily and said solemnly, "Based on my understanding of him, he will definitely do this!"
"How can this be done?" Fan Zhongjie immediately became anxious upon hearing this, "Brother Pijiang is still too young, and he is no match for Duduo because of his arrogance. If you ask him to act according to your plan, he can barely do it, but if he does it on his own
If he insists, then something bad will happen, so we have to stop him quickly and never let him act as he pleases."
"It's too late." Yan Yingyuan sighed, "We can't get out of the prison now."
Fan Zhongjie was instantly stunned when he heard this. Yes, he can't get out of the prison now. This is really a cocoon for him.
Yan Yingyuan sighed and said helplessly: "Now we can only hope that Brother Pijiang's revised plan is still rigorous, otherwise this time it will really be a waste of money."
Fan Zhongjie smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm worried."
Suddenly footsteps sounded in the corridor outside.
…
West gate, the entrance to Wengcheng.
Duduo tilted his head and looked at Maoxiang gloomily.
Maoxiang said calmly: "Your Majesty, please come into the city."
Duduo grinned and said, "Maoxiang, you seem to be more anxious than me?"
"What do you mean by this, Your Majesty?" Maoxiang frowned and said, "Is it false to suspect that I surrendered to the Qing Dynasty? The millions of stones of grain and one million taels of silver in the treasury of Yan Yingyuan, Fan Zhongjie and Shanyang dedicated to the Qing Dynasty are also fake.
?」
Duduo continued to stare closely at Maoxiang's eyes, and said with a half-smile, "Then is it true or false that Mr. Pijiang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty? I am stupid, sir, please tell me directly."
Maoxiang was furious, stretched out his neck and said, "Your Majesty, please behead this head."
When He Luo saw the situation, he quickly smoothed things over and said, "Mr. Pijiang, don't be angry. Your Majesty was just joking."
"A joke?" Maoxiang said with consternation, "How can military affairs be a joke? How can one's personality be insulted? If the prince treats the returning ministers like this, it can only mean that I, Maoxiang, am blind and should be beheaded."
Seeing the angry Maoxiang, Duduo smiled and prepared to say a few nice words.
But when the words came to his mouth, he still felt the need to use words to deceive Maoxiang. What if it was a fake surrender?
At that moment, Duduo snorted and said, "Maobijiang, how dare you act in front of me now?"
"Huh?" He Luohui, Tunqi and other Eight Banners nobles were stunned when they heard this, and Hou Fangyu was also stunned.
What do you mean, the co-author Mao Pijiang really faked his surrender? And the prince has already caught the irrefutable evidence that he faked his surrender?
Maoxiang's heart skipped a beat. For a moment, Maoxiang really wanted to take out the dagger hidden in his elbow protector and stab Duduo. Duduo was close to Chi Chi at this moment, so it would be easy to kill him.
Is it difficult?
But in the end, Maoxiang still endured the temptation.
He is no longer the same Maoxiang he was when he left Nanjing.
After several months of arduous marching and the battle in Shanyang, he has grown up. Duduo, I don't believe you can really find the flaw. There is no flaw in Brother Jianheng's death plan.
Even though he made some slight modifications to the entire death plan, it was still impeccable.
At that moment, Mao Xiang smiled and said, "Does the prince want to cross the river and burn the bridge? Then come on."
"Burning a bridge over a river? What a pretense. I was almost deceived by you." Duduo said suddenly, "It's a pity that there are so many gaps. Hehe, you missed one of them."
However, Maoxiang had completely calmed down: "You really want to inflict a crime on me, so why bother?"
"Still pretending?" Duduo continued, "I already know that this is Yan Yingyuan's trick, right? But there is one thing you have not deceived me, that is, you really want to use the entire West City as a big urn city, and turn me into a big urn city.
The king and his 60,000 troops were tricked into the city and burned to ashes, right?"
While talking, Duduo stared firmly into Maoxiang's eyes.
"Kengkeng!" Several impatient Bagalas had already pulled out their swords and put them against Maoxiang's neck.
Maoxiang showed no fear, stared straight back at Duduo and said, "It's useless to talk, just take action."
Looking at Maoxiang's calm, calm and fearless eyes, Duduo finally felt relieved. It seemed that he was really over-concerned. This was not Yan Yingyuan's trick. There was no doubt that Maoxiang had surrendered.
Otherwise, a young and well-born young man like Maoxiang would have been exposed long ago.
Duo Feng immediately changed his smile and said, "Mr. Pijiang, I was just joking."
"A joke?" Maoxiang sneered, "The prince is so verbally insulting. Can a joke be used to overturn it? Is this how the Qing Dynasty treats surrendered ministers and scholars?"
