Oh? When they heard that Shao Yu was going to invite them to the General's Mansion for dinner, Han Zhong and Yuan Tian were both shocked. Just now they were discussing how to host a banquet to invite Shao Yu, but now it was good that they came to their door.
Han Zhong waved his hand expressionlessly and said: "I understand, you can go down!"
When the soldiers who reported the news left, Han Zhong immediately smiled and said excitedly to Yuan Tian: "Sir Yuan, it seems that we don't have to find a way to invite Shao Yu. Tonight is a perfect opportunity."
Yuan Tian nodded thoughtfully, and then said without concern: "But you and I are going to the General's Mansion for a banquet, so it may not be that easy to do it."
Han Zhong smiled and said confidently: "Perhaps it will be more effective to attack at the General's Mansion. At least Shao Yu's defensiveness can be reduced to a minimum. If you and I are caught by surprise and are unprepared, we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy with one blow!"
"Yes!" Yuan Tian also thought that Han Zhong's words were not unreasonable, but he always felt that things seemed to be too coincidental, as if they had been planned in advance, but Shao Yu had already noticed that he and Han Zhong were going to attack him.
That is unlikely. After all, the order sent by the king was a secret order. No one has read it, and it is impossible for Shao Yu to know the contents.
Han Zhong and Yuan Tian were discussing how to capture Shao Yu. By coincidence, Shao Yu sent an invitation at this time, inviting them to a banquet at the General's Mansion. The two decided to use their plan to capture Shao Yu in the General's Mansion.
Han and Yuan were not mere commanders. In Fengyang City, they had 150,000 subordinates. Because Yuan Tian was afraid of making things worse, he only secretly mobilized 5,000 trusted troops and quietly ambush him in the general's mansion.
In addition, he gathered all the more outstanding spiritual cultivators under his command and asked them to dress up as ordinary soldiers. They also took the spirit-dispersing pill in advance and followed him and the two of them into the general's mansion.
Yuan Tian's arrangements were very thorough. If Shao Yu was unprepared, he might have succeeded in a sneak attack. However, Shao Yu had already been reminded by Cai Gui and had already arranged spies to keep an eye on Han Zhong and Yuan Tian's every move.
, Han and Yuan's arrangements are basically under Shao Yu's control.
When he learned that Han Zhong and Yuan Tian were summoning spiritual cultivators and secretly ambushing a large number of their subordinates near the general's mansion, Shao Yu knew in his heart that Cai Gui's reminder was by no means unfounded. Han Zhong and Yuan Tian had indeed begun to
He was about to attack himself. He urgently called for his confidant Liu Ting and discussed with him how to deal with it.
After hearing this, Liu Ting pondered for a moment and said: "My lord, strike first to gain strength and strike later to suffer disaster. Since Shao Fang wants to eradicate me, I will simply switch sides and surrender to the Feng army."
It's not that Shao Yu hasn't thought about it, but he still has concerns in his heart. He sighed softly and said: "Not long ago, the Feng Army attacked Fengyang and lost more than 10,000 soldiers. If I surrender to the Feng Army, how can the Feng people keep me alive?
Life?"
Liu Ting shook his head and said: "Your Excellency, you are overly worried. I think this is exactly what you need to surrender to Feng Jun."
"oh?"
"The Feng King personally led the army to attack Fengyang, but it was difficult to cross the thunder pool. It can be seen that our Xishan County is impregnable. Although the Feng Army is now invincible, it has insufficient stamina. Especially our Xishan County, it is like a knife buried behind the Feng Army.
A fatal blow may be given to the Feng army at any time, so as long as the king is willing to surrender, the Feng King will definitely be extremely happy. Not to mention that he only lost more than 10,000 people before, even if he loses 100,000 or 200,000, the Feng King will not embarrass you."
Liu Ting said: "Of course, this is just Xiaoren's own guess. Whether the Feng King can accept you or not depends on Cai Gui."
"Yes!" Shao Yu nodded his head and said thoughtfully: "It seems that I have to go to the hotel again."
Fengyang Hotel.
Shao Yu left in the morning and came back again in the evening. Cai Gui guessed that Shao Yu would come to find him again, but he didn't expect that he would come so soon.
After the two parties met, Shao Yuli ignored Shao Jun, walked directly to Cai Gui, bowed to the ground with his hands in hand, and said: "I left in a hurry in the morning, I hope Mr. Cai won't take offense!"
"Master Shao, whatever you said, I'll kill you!" Cai Gui returned the salute. He clearly felt the change in Shao Yu's attitude towards him. It must be that Han Zhong and Yuan Tian had received Shao Fang's secret order and had made any changes.
Shao Yu noticed.
After the two parties sat down, Shao Yu first exchanged greetings with Cai Gui for a while, and then got down to the topic. He pretended to be casual and asked: "Master Cai reminded me earlier that he wanted to be disadvantaged by calling me the king. Is this really the case?"
Cai Gui smiled while thinking, "Of course! If I'm not wrong, Shao Fang will soon attack Master Shao." "Alas!" Shao Yu sighed heavily and said helplessly: "I, Shao Yu,
Although I live in Xishan County, my eyes are not blind and my ears are not deaf. People of the same clan are often killed, how could I not know? But you asked me to die, but I dare not not die, even if the king wants me, Shao Yu
My head, I don’t dare to disobey orders!”
This cunning Shao Yu is here to test his own identity! Cai Guicai doesn't believe Shao Yu's lies. If he was so loyal to Shao Fang, he wouldn't entertain himself and Shao Jun so warmly.
He shook his head and said: "Master Shao is right when he says, 'If you ask your minister to die, he will not dare not die', but it also depends on what kind of king you are. Shao Fang has long been deposed by the emperor. He is no longer King Mo, but a human being."
Why should Lord Shao be loyal to such a king who blatantly defies destiny and kills sycophants and traitors of his own clan? If he continues to be loyal to Shao Fang, wouldn’t he become a traitor who colludes with Shao Fang? That is also foolish loyalty!"
Shao Yu seemed to be taught something and nodded repeatedly, but he said helplessly: "Otherwise, what can I do? What other options can I take?"
Well! That’s the point. Cai Gui smiled secretly in his heart and said, “How about I show Master Shao a clear path?”
Shao Yu was refreshed, and he hurriedly leaned over and held his hands in his hands, saying, "I have long heard that Mr. Cai is resourceful and resourceful, and that he is a talent that is rare to see in a century. I hope Mr. Cai will make it clear!"
"Abandon the sycophants and respect the orthodox; stay far away from the lord and serve the virtuous master!" Cai Gui pointed to Shao Jun who was drinking heavily and seemed to have nothing to do with him. After saying this, even Cai Gui felt blushing and felt helpless.
If you don't go to the wall, no matter which angle you look at, you can't find the shadow of the wise master in Shao Jun.
Shao Yu didn't care whether Shao Jun was smart or stupid. After hearing Cai Gui's words, he showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, but soon, his facial features were pulled together again, with a bitter look on his face, and he sighed:
"One wrong step, every wrong step! I also want to stay away from the traitors and pursue the wise master. However, I was deceived by Shao Fang and fought with my uncle. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. How could my uncle not blame me and not bear grudges?
To me?"
Shao Jun didn't hear what Shao Yu meant at all. He really thought that Shao Yu was afraid that he would hate him. He stood up in a hurry, walked to Shao Yu, patted him on the shoulder repeatedly, and said, "Don't blame those who don't know! Don't worry, good nephew."
, As long as your good nephew really wants to join your uncle, I will never blame you."
Shao Yu didn't even bother to look at him, and kept staring at Cai Gui.
Cai Gui raised his head and smiled, patted his chest as a guarantee, and said: "Master Shao, I can guarantee you that if you surrender, not only will your life not be in danger, but you will be promoted to a higher position!"
Shao Yu's face flashed with glory, his eyes brightened, and he asked nervously: "Master Cai, are you serious about what you said?"
Cai Gui nodded heavily and said, "I guarantee it with the reputation of the Cai family!"
Bang! Shao Yu clapped his chin heavily and said, "I feel relieved after Mr. Cai said this." As he spoke, he turned to look at Liu Ting. When he saw the latter slightly nodding his head, he immediately stood up.
He stood up and said seriously: "To show my sincerity, I would like to offer the heads of Han Zhong and Yuan Tian on their necks!"
Cai Gui also stood up, met Shao Yu's eyes, and said quietly: "With these two heads, my king will be very happy, and Master Shao can sit back and relax!"
"Haha——" Shao Yu and Cai Gui laughed out loud at the same time. Shao Jun listened in confusion and also laughed dryly along with them.
After talking to Cai Gui, Shao Yu was completely relieved and made up his mind to rebel against Shao Fang and join Tang Yin.
That night, Han Zhong and Yuan Tian were invited as promised. The scene was not small when they arrived. There were more than 200 personal guards and soldiers, and they were surrounded like stars holding the moon. They entered the general's mansion.
In the main hall of the General's Mansion, a banquet had already been arranged, and everyone was seated separately. Han and Yuan were talking politely to Shao Yu while quietly looking around. The General's Mansion was no different from usual, and there were not many guards in the lobby.
Most of the people who came in and out were servants and maids who waited on everyone.
Han Zhong and Yuan Tian looked at each other and nodded secretly. Tonight was a great opportunity to capture Shao Yu.
Soon, as servants and maids came and went, the tables in front of everyone were filled with wine and food. Shao Yu raised his glass and said with a smile: "Master Han, Master Yuan, we worked together to fight against the enemy, and finally we did not disgrace the king's trust. We succeeded."
After repelling the wind army, I would like to propose a toast to both of you!"
"Haha, Master Shao is too polite." Han Zhong and Yuan Tian responded and raised their glasses to drink with Shao Yu.
The two parties were eating, drinking, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious. However, behind the happy atmosphere, there was a lot of murderous intent hidden behind it.
The guards brought by Han Zhong and Yuan Tian are outside the lobby. The spiritual cultivators among them have secretly taken the Spirit Gathering Pill to restore their spiritual energy. As long as Han and Yuan give out the secret signal, they can fight out together and kill Shao.
The reputation was won on the spot.
But on the other side, behind the screen in the lobby, Shao Yu's cronies and swordsmen were also gathered. People were gearing up, waiting for Shao Yu's order.
This is a veritable Hongmen Banquet where everyone has their own agenda.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the two parties saw that the time was almost up. Han Zhong was the first to attack. He asked: "Master Shao, I have a question. I don't know whether I should talk about it or not?"
Shao Yu smiled and said, "Master Han, please tell me if you have anything to say."
Han Zhong suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Shao Jun is a wanted criminal by the king, and Cai Gui is an important minister of the enemy country, but Mr. Shao treats them as honored guests and stays in Fengyang City. I have to doubt Mr. Shao's loyalty to the king.
!" As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass without leaving any trace and stared at Shao Yu from the corner of his eye.
