Chapter 245 I wonder if Madam would like to dine with me tonight?
Wuding Prefecture, Hanwang Old Camp
"Your Majesty, we can't break out of the encirclement. The enemy doesn't fight us from the front. Instead, they keep harassing us from the flanks and rear, making us unable to concentrate on breaking out. But once we turn our focus to the flanks, the enemy forces press from the front again.
Our army, Your Majesty, we are trapped and dead in Wuding Prefecture!"
The rebel general who returned from defeat said with a tired heart, "My lord, for the present plan, I have to surrender!"
"How dare Shu Zian disturb the morale of our army!"
The King of Han was furious and cut off the general's head with his sword. The people around him were all trembling and did not dare to speak.
After beheading this man, Zhu Gaoxu slumped down in his seat and asked feebly: "Who is the enemy general? Damn it, which bastard came up with this rogue style of play?"
Someone answered: "The enemy general is a guard beside King Qi, named Su Wen, and his younger brother is Su Wu, the chief envoy of today's Goryeo Province. These two brothers are from Fujian. They were originally the children of the local powerful Su family. Su
After the family fell into decline, the two brothers went to Jinling City to beg, but were rescued by King Qi and were reused."
"A guard?"
The King of Han sighed and said, "Is it possible that all the fortune in the world has been given to King Qi? The guard beside him is such a good general. Is the heaven trying to destroy me?"
The people around him were silent, they didn't dare to tell the truth.
Isn’t it his own fault that the King of Han has reached this point?
After the Battle of Binzhou, although King Qi made a fool of himself and the Han King's cavalry and artillery were completely wiped out, the main force of the infantry was still retained. That was the best time to break out of the encirclement.
As long as they can leave the Jinan area and return to their base camp in Qingzhou, although the probability of the King of Han's comeback is very small, at least he can still maintain his power and still have the strength to fight.
But the Han prince felt that King Qi had another plot to ambush him, so he retreated to Wuding Prefecture, where he was trapped in this small area by King Qi's army, completely losing hope of breaking out.
After repeated battles and setbacks, the soldiers knew that there was no hope of breaking through, so they simply fought and retreated every time they broke out, and their morale was exhausted. On the other hand, King Qi used Jinan as a barrier and occupied an important town at the junction of Jinan and Qingzhou. He could attack or retreat, and used guerrilla tactics to attack and retreat.
His tactics made the Han king's rebels miserable.
"Report! Le'an has been lost!"
In the already lifeless old camp of the King of Han, these words from the herald were like a devastating disaster, making everyone's hearts even heavier, as if their souls were being crushed by a hammer.
The fall of Le'an means that from today on, the rebels will no longer be able to transport food and grass.
Surrounded by King Qi's army, the transportation of food and grass was already poor, but now that their old nest was lost, they completely lost hope.
The rebels had been hungry for three meals before, but this time they were fine. They ate the first meal but not the next. They were so hungry that they went to fight King Qi's army.
However, even if they understand this truth, no one dares to say it anymore.
Someone just told the truth and was beheaded by the King of Han.
Everyone bowed their heads in silence, but the King of Han suddenly laughed loudly: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. Didn't Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, conquer the world in the same way when he faced Xiang Yu and suffered repeated defeats? Today, although Le'an has been lost, the main force of our army is still there.
There is no strength to fight!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help but take a breath and looked at King Han as if they were a fool.
How did Prince Han say such nonsense?
In this current situation, even if King Qi does nothing, King Han will be defeated by himself. Do you still have the nerve to say these things?
When the King of Han saw the attitude of everyone, he angrily shouted: "Are you willing to be captured where you are? Where is your backbone!"
Still no one answered, as if everyone present was mute.
The King of Han was like an old general on the stage, trying hard to finish the play.
However, the audience had already left, and the old general was the only one left in the theater.
…
The city of Le'an was noisy, but the palace of the King of Han in the city was deserted and silent.
Because now there is only one princess left in the Han Dynasty palace.
The sons of the King of Han had already packed up their gold and silver and were ready to run away. As soon as they heard the news about the Aoshan Guards presenting the city, they dispersed and fled in disguise from various city gates without hesitation. As for the servants, they ran as fast as they could.
Quickly, take everything you can. Some people even took away all the flower pots in the yard.
Princess Han didn't stop her, she knew these people couldn't escape.
There are no unbroken eggs under the overturned nest. King Qi is very thoughtful, and he may have surrounded Le'an City long ago. These people thought they had escaped, but they didn't know they were falling into a trap.
The princess of the Han Dynasty hummed a little tune, her expression unmoved: "The Purple Spring Palace is locked in haze, and I want to take Wucheng as the emperor's home. The king's seal is not destined to return to the sun, and the brocade sail should reach the end of the world. There are no fireflies in the rotten grass today, and it will be forever.
There are dusk crows among the weeping poplars. If you meet Empress Chen underground, why should you ask about the flowers in the backyard again?"
Her slender green-white hands held a piece of white silk and tied it to the beam. She stepped on the bench and stood on tiptoes. There seemed to be water mist from the West Lake in her eyes. The former beauty was dressed in white and said softly: "Your Majesty,
I'm taking the first step."
"Second sister-in-law, please wait!"
After Cao Cao entered the city, he couldn't wait to enter the palace of the Han Dynasty. He looked around and saw no one. After casually walking into a room, he suddenly saw a beauty in white, as graceful as a startled dragon, with a youthful and graceful face, and a weak lotus between her eyebrows.
Melancholy, slim and charming.
Just this glance made Boss Cao freeze on the spot, his eyes locked on this mature young woman, his eyes widening.
When he came to his senses, he found that this beauty was about to hang herself!
Cao Cao quickly advised: "Second sister-in-law has something to say, please come down first and don't hurt yourself."
When Princess Han saw who it was, she gritted her teeth and said, "King Qi, what else can I say to you? After I die, I will turn into an evil ghost and give you no peace!"
After saying that, the red embroidered shoes on Princess Wei's feet kicked over the bench, and her white neck was tightened by the white silk hanging on the beam, making the princess blush and moan.
Cao Cao was frightened when he saw that the beauty was about to hang himself. In a panic, he pulled out the barrier knife from his waist and threw it hard. The blade passed through Princess Han's black hair and cut off Bai Ling easily. Her body was uncontrollable.
Fall down.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Princess Han lost her support and fell. She exclaimed. Seeing that the beauty was about to fall to the ground, Cao Cao strode forward and spread his arms to hold Princess Han in his arms.
.
"Well, it's very smooth."
Princess Han's body was as smooth and delicate as white jade, and it became soft after being held in his arms. Cao Cao could smell the faint fragrance and swallowed his saliva.
There is only one thought in his mind now: If he can sleep with such a beauty for one night, even if ten Dianwei die, it will be worth it!
Princess Han was so close to King Qi that she could even feel King Qi's breathing. She couldn't help but panic and said with a rosy face: "King Qi, please let go quickly, how unbecoming you are!"
How could Cao Cao be willing to put down the beauty in his arms? He chuckled and said, "I wonder, madam, would you like to share the table with me tonight?"
The Princess of Han was all frightened: "What are you talking about? Are you crazy? I am your sister-in-law! I am a married woman, and my husband is your brother!"
"a ha ha ha!"
Cao Cao laughed and said, "Wouldn't it be more beautiful like this?"
To be honest, this is what I, Mr. Cao, like!
If the beauty was a young woman, Boss Cao would not even take a look at it, but facing a young lady like Princess Han who is still in her thirties and still has charm, it is exactly what Boss Cao likes.
The Princess of Han was confused. She had read "Nvjie" since she was a child. She learned about etiquette, benevolence, righteousness, integrity and shame. She was a serious and loyal woman. She had never seen such a scene!
…
Prince Zhu Gaoxu of the Han Dynasty said with emotion: "Le'an City was lost. I know my fourth brother. Although he seems to have many misbehaviors, he is still a family. I think he will treat my poor princess with courtesy."
You won't break the rules, so I don't need to worry about it."
He was very relieved about King Qi. At least, this guy was not a womanizer and he had a bottom line.
But the King of Han didn’t know that although King Qi had a bottom line when it came to being a womanizer, Cao Cao had no bottom line! This thief Cao had a soft spot for married young women!
"Now that the matter is over, I won't hide it from you anymore."
The King of Han asked, "Su Qing, can I trust you?"
Su Qing resolutely said: "What are you talking about, Your Majesty? I have been with you for twelve years. When you were granted the title of King of Han, I told you that Su Qing is not greedy for fame, but is only willing to follow the Ming Dynasty to express his ambitions."
.In the past twelve years, the prince has never betrayed me, and I will not betray the prince. If the army is defeated, I am willing to be the first minister to commit suicide and continue to advise the prince in the underworld!"
"Okay, I believe you!"
The King of Han said solemnly, "Su Qing, you also know that now our army has no hope of breaking through, and only strange moves can win. I will make you the Grand Tutor, the Grand Governor, and the Grand Marshal of the Army. The entire army will obey your orders."
.You lead the main force of our army to break through with all your might and attract enemy firepower!"
Su Qing suddenly felt something was wrong as he listened: "What about you, Your Majesty?"
The King of Han said affectionately: "I will lead eight hundred dead men to escape from Wuding Prefecture. Once I escape, I will leave Shandong and go to the south to seize the opportunity to start an uprising. When I achieve great success, I am willing to build an ancestral temple for Mr. Su and enshrine him with eternal incense!"
Su Qing was silent.
He said just now that he was willing to sacrifice his life for the King of Han, but in fact he just wanted to heighten the atmosphere. He did not expect that the King of Han really wanted him to sacrifice his life.
How did the King of Han say such nonsense?
The Tutor of Gou Ba, the Governor of Gou Ba, and the Grand Marshal of the Army and Horses all said well. In fact, they were asking Su Qing to lead the army in a desperate fight to attract the firepower of the imperial army, while the King of Han took the opportunity to run away. This battle was bound to be defeated.
And Su Qing will definitely die.
As for the worship in the ancestral temple?
You idiot, the King of Han, failed to win with half a province of troops and a solid foundation accumulated over the years, and you still want to win the world with 800 people? Even Zhu Di couldn't write such a blank check!
It is true that a tiger father has no dog son. Back then, Zhu Di was deceived by the King of Han and became lame. Now the King of Han has learned his father's trick and wants to use this trick to deceive Su Qing.
Although Su Qing saw through the truth of the matter, he still handed over his hand without hesitation and said: "If I can exchange Su's life for the prince, dragon turtle and sea, Su Qing will die without regrets!"
The King of Han was moved with tears in his eyes: "Mr. Su, please accept my respects from me!"
After saying that, he was about to kneel down and kowtow to Su Qing, but luckily Mr. Su was quick to stop him.
…
After coming out from the King of Han, Su Qing went to his room and smiled bitterly at the empty room: "The King of Han believes in me so much, how can I live up to the King of Han?"
He is a person who lives in the shadow of the King of Han. He has been advising the King of Han for twelve years. He does not show his fame and rarely shows his face in front of the world, but he has been doing some shameful things for the King of Han in private and making suggestions.
"I almost forgot, what did I look like twelve years ago?"
Su Qing murmured to herself and touched her face, as if she felt that something was missing.
He opened the closet forward, found an iron mask from under the folded cloth, put it on his face, and nodded slightly: "Yes, this is me."
This is a mask like a ghost, with a pure black iron face and a ferocious face, revealing only a pair of dark and indifferent eyes, like an innocent soul crawling out of the shadows. Just one look at it makes people feel uncomfortable all over.
Ice cave.
The mask on Su Qing's face is exactly the same as the mask worn by A Qi next to Zhu Gaojie.
"By the way, I remember what I looked like twelve years ago."
"I was exactly the same twelve years ago as I am now, a person living in the shadows."
"It's just that ten years ago, my name was not Su Qing, but Shadow Attendant A Qing."
"In the second year of Yongle, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Gaoyang County, was granted the title of King of Han. His Majesty placed me next to the King of Han to monitor his every move. For twelve years, I almost believed that I was Su Qing, a counselor who was loyal to the King of Han.
.”
"If I hadn't been writing secret letters to His Majesty, conveying all the illegal things done by the King of Han, I would have almost forgotten who I am."
…
"King Qi, please kill me!"
Princess Han took a few steps back and pressed her back against the wall, unable to retreat. She was shocked and angry: "I would rather die than let you be humiliated!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What does the second sister-in-law mean by this? Have I ever thought about humiliating the second sister-in-law?"
Cao Cao pretended to be surprised and said, "The second brother rebelled, and the second sister-in-law suffered as well. After my second brother, Prince Han, was defeated, it is self-evident how the second sister-in-law ended up. My brother, I have nothing but kindness.
As long as you obey me, Second Sister-in-law, I will keep Second Sister-in-law and her family safe and sound, and I will allow you to be my concubine in Prince Qi’s palace. When I ascend the throne, although you are not a queen, you will still be a noble concubine. Isn’t that wonderful?"
Princess Wei of the Han Dynasty said angrily: "In your dream, I never thought that you, Prince Qi, could be so shameless and ridiculous. You actually want me to bend over to you. You think too much!"
Cao Cao had a headache. He had never thought that the woman in front of him was as chaste and loyal as Diao Chan.
but……
I, Mr. Cao, am proud of such a beautiful woman with such a personality, hehehe.
Cao Cao said leisurely: "Don't you know that those who understand current affairs are heroes? Sister-in-law, you are a hero among women. Naturally, you should understand this truth. Now the King of Han is surrounded by me in Wuding. I want him to marry me like a man in a bag."
Doesn’t my sister-in-law not care about my second brother?"
Princess Han snorted coldly: "King Qi, do you really think I am that stupid woman? Although my husband has become a rebellious minister, Your Majesty has always been tolerant to his children. King Zhao's assassination of the king is just a reduction of power. The emperor's wife
Sun Mou's rebellion and intention to usurp the throne was just to reduce him to the heir apparent. Although my husband caused trouble, your majesty will definitely not kill him. At most, he will be imprisoned. If you dare to kill my prince, your majesty will be furious. You are dignified.
King Qi, is it interesting to threaten and deceive a woman like me?"
"Second sister-in-law is really smart, but you have never been on the battlefield, so you don't know what it's like on the battlefield."
Cao Cao said leisurely, "The emperor has fought in wars. You haven't seen it, but he has seen it. On the battlefield of tens of thousands of people, the sound of killing is like thunder, the smoke is like dark clouds, and the soldiers who go into battle are like crazy demons. Why do you care after the red eyes are killed?"
"More, if the King of Han unfortunately dies in the rebellion, do you think the Emperor will embarrass me, King Qi, who can inherit the throne, for a rebel?"
"Even if I don't kill the King of Han now, I will have ten thousand ways to kill the King of Han after he is escorted to the capital. You should know my methods. This is not difficult for me."
"Second sister-in-law, the only person who can save King Han now is you."
"It's just that I can't see your sincerity."
When Princess Han heard this, her face turned pale.
