"Either he is crazy, or I am crazy...to listen to his nonsense here."
Looking at Zhang Qigong, Yuanyi Hou Han Pu's eyes moved slightly.
He was very puzzled. How could Zhang Qigong say the words "raise troops to rebel"? You must know that with the three to five thousand soldiers under his command, it was barely enough to defeat Li Chu in Yi'an, let alone raise troops to rebel. It was really serious.
Is Jicheng unable to succeed?
You must know that the armies under the generals of Taiyuan Victory, Han Xu, and Yuyang Qin Kai have not yet been mobilized. If he dares to raise a rebel flag in Yuanyi, he will be attacked by the Yuyang Army or Yangyi Army in an instant.
Hou Hanxu's attack, with three to five thousand troops against tens of thousands of troops?
Putting aside whether it will lead to bloodshed or not, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, would not do such a stupid thing in the first place - if the Wei State only needs him as an internal agent to contribute at critical moments, then he can consider it
.
Thinking of this, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, smiled and shook his head and said: "Mr. Zhang thinks highly of Han too much. Han only has three to five thousand troops under his command. Self-protection is not enough, so why... that... Haha, Mr. Zhang should hire someone else."
Bar."
After hearing this, Zhang Qigong was not angry and said in a gentle voice: "The prince has misunderstood. I did not really ask the prince to raise troops to rebel and defeat Jicheng, but just to test Jicheng's reaction... As for the prince himself,
thin, say
He only has three to five thousand soldiers under his command. Haha, since Zhang raised this matter, then Zhang will arrange all other matters... If the king still feels that nothing can be done, he can kill both of us.
…”
Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, chuckled and shook his head, not moved by what Zhang Qigong said.
When the time comes, kill Zhang Qigong and Bei Gongyu? So what? Can it be undone?
In the view of Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, if nothing can be done, he will be more kind to Zhang Qigong and Bei Gongyu, because when he is desperate, he can only rely on the relationship between these two people to defect to the Wei State in order to make a difference again.
Thinking of this, Yuanyi Hou Hanpu suddenly realized a very critical issue.
I saw him looking Zhang Qigong up and down, and suddenly asked: "What kind of position is the right captain of Tiance Mansion in Wei?"
Hearing this question, Zhang Qigong glanced at Yuanyi Hou Han Pu in surprise. He suddenly felt that this nephew who was once loved by Kang Gong Han Hu was indeed much better than the latter's eldest son Han Lin. For example, he was very pragmatic and aware of current affairs.
.
After thinking for a while, he replied concisely and cryptically: "The general of my Tiance Mansion is exactly the one from my great Wei..."
He cupped his hands into fists, slowly raised them over his left shoulder, and finally raised them above his head.
Seeing this scene, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, could not understand why. His eyes widened subconsciously, with a strange and incomprehensible expression on his face.
"Is it actually Zhao Run of the Wei State who took over the post of general in the Tiance Mansion?"
I have to say that Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, was a little surprised. After all, there has never been such an "irregular" monarch since ancient times. Even Lu Xi of Qi State would not make himself a general, right?
What's the matter, does Zhao Run think that his military expeditions in the past were not enjoyable enough?
Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, couldn't help but curse a few words in his heart, and then looked at Zhang Qigong again, his eyes were completely different from before.
I thought he was just a junior captain, but I didn't expect that he was actually an important minister to King Zhao Run of Wei.
If Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, had not taken Zhang Qigong's instigation seriously before, then at this moment, he finally began to think about the pros and cons of the whole matter - whether it was worth sacrificing everything he currently had in order to gain access to the monarch of Wei, Zhao Run.
Anyway, he will hardly have any future in South Korea.
As the saying goes, one must be strong without desire. Since Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, has been shaken, it is not far away that he will be persuaded by Zhang Qigong.
Only half an hour later, I saw him gritting his teeth viciously and saying solemnly to Zhang Qigong: "Mr. Zhang, Han depends on you for these one hundred and eighty kilograms of meat! ... What are your orders?
If you open your mouth, Han Pu will never dare to say goodbye."
Hearing this, Zhang Qigong and Bei Gongyu both smiled and said: "It is a wise move for a prince to abandon the dark and turn to the light."
After complimenting each other, the three began to discuss specific actions. During this period, Ghost and three other black crows and several guards of Yuanyi Hou Hanpu also wisely exited the study after seeing that the two parties were in harmony.
.
At this time in the study, Zhang Qigong slowly revealed his inner plan to Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi: "At this time, there are rumors in Korea that King Ran of Han has died, causing people to panic. The general can take the opportunity to revisit the matter of uncle Ling, attack and annihilate Han Ran, and publicize
In order to fight for power and gain, Han Ran framed Duke Kang..."
Will Han Wangran's reputation be affected by mentioning this matter again?
In fact, it really can.
You must know that Duke Kang and Han Hu were called "heroes" for no reason. When the brothers Han Wang Jian and Han Wangqi took over the power of Korea, Han Hu did go through life and death for this country many times. Even his younger brother
Han Gen also died heroically on the battlefield, leaving behind a pair of orphans and a widowed mother.
It is no exaggeration to say that during the most difficult years in Korea, Kang Gong and Han Hu played an indispensable role - regardless of his private character, his contribution to this country can indeed be called a hero.
Even in the entire Central Plains, he can be called a hero.
If there were no Korean tigers, Korea might have already become a hunting ground for the Linhu, Xiongnu, Beidi, Chidi, Donghu and other foreign ethnic groups to do whatever they want, and even the Central Plains might be affected.
But this kind of hero ended up quite sadly, being pecked to death by a bird he had always looked down upon.
Subsequently, the family property was confiscated, the army was split up, and even several children were put under house arrest in Jicheng in disguise. Han Wangran was even charged with "attempting to kill the king to seek the throne" - of course, in fact, this crime
It is not entirely slander, after all, Kang Gong Han Hu has always hoped to help his eldest son Han Lin to become the king of Korea.
All in all, for such a hero, his later life should not have been so miserable.
But having said that, it is not that Han Wangran holds grudges and refuses to put away his grudges even after death. In the final analysis, the reason is that Han Hu's reputation is too high - if he does not try to discredit him as much as possible, Han Wangran cannot win people's trust.
After all, Han Ran is not Zhao Run. He has no illustrious military exploits. The only thing he deserves praise for is his career of keeping a low profile for more than ten years. However, most Korean subjects do not know this. Therefore, compared with Kang, who is called a hero,
The impression of Gong Han Hu and Han Ran in the hearts of many subjects is mediocre.
Therefore, Han Ran wanted to smear Kang Gong Han Hu, accusing Han Hu of being a hero, but old and unruly, and trying to get involved in the throne. In addition, there was Prime Minister Shen Buhai at the time, and the court officials were waiting for the courtiers, plus Li
With the support of Mu, Ma She, Bao Yuan and others, the people were forced to believe this statement.
If Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, mentions this matter again now and exposes Han Ran's various behaviors back then, it would be impossible to overthrow the royal family, but it would at least make Korea's internal situation more chaotic.
Moreover, it would be helpful for Zhang Qigong to implement his next plan, for example, asking Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, to support another royal descendant with royal blood as king and split Korea - not to use this pseudo-court to defeat the Jicheng court, but to confuse the situation.
water, creating a favorable situation for Wei State.
After listening to Zhang Qigong's overall plan, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, was thoughtful.
Only then did he realize that the Mr. Zhang in front of him was actually not crazy - at least he was not told to go directly to Jicheng under the banner of "hoeing the faint king", but was told to get one here in Yuanyi.
The "pseudo dynasty" created trouble for Jicheng and created chaos at the same time.
Although this matter is not easy, it is much easier than going directly to Jicheng.
The only problem is that Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, does not have enough money, food or troops. If the Yuyang Army or Taiyuan Army from Jicheng comes to encircle and suppress Yuanyi, it will be difficult to defend Yuanyi.
Speaking of this matter, Bei Gongyu interjected: "It's not difficult in terms of money and food. After crossing the Taihang Mountains, you will reach Shangdang. Jiang Bi has been operating in Shangdang for several years. There should be enough corn in the warehouse. Lord Captain, you might as well ask Jiang Bi
The general seeks help..."
Zhang Qigong heard this and before he expressed his position, he saw Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, frowning and said: "A few years ago, Mr. Beigong's suggestion was very good, but now, Jingjing Pass has fallen into the hands of Li Chu..."
"Li Chu?" Zhang Qigong and Bei Gongyu looked at each other, with a little confusion on their faces.
Seeing this, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, briefly explained to the two of them, and emphasized that if they wanted to do anything in Yuanyi, Li Chu of Yi'an must be removed.
However, in the view of Yuanyi Hou Hanpu, it is not that simple to get rid of Li Chu.
To his surprise, Zhang Qigong and Bei Gongyu looked disapproving after hearing this.
So what if Li Chu himself is good at martial arts?
So what if there are guards around when you go in and out?
The two of them brought more than two hundred Black Crows with them on this trip. Not to mention killing a mere Li Chu, even if they captured Yi'an and quietly massacred the Korean army inside and outside the city, it was not completely impossible.
.
Of course, it was impossible for Zhang Qigong and Bei Gongyu to massacre all the Korean troops inside and outside Yi'an City. Firstly, senseless killings would easily cause enemies to stir up trouble, and secondly, it would be a real pity.
The best thing is to let Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, absorb them and expand their strength.
On that day, Zhang Qigong, Bei Gongyu and Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, discussed for a long time and formulated a series of plans.
Because it was approaching the cold winter, Zhang Qigong suggested that Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, act as soon as possible, because if they act at this time, they can at least get a whole winter - Jicheng will not ask the Yuyang army to brave the ice and snow to suppress the rebellion.
?We have to wait until next spring anyway.
These few months were enough for Zhang Qigong to brew up various rumors and turn South Korea upside down.
Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, listened to Zhang Qigong's suggestion and returned to the military camp outside the city the next day. He killed a quartermaster named "Li Ke" and sent someone to send his head to Yi'an.
To Li Chu.
This Li Ke is Li Chu's clan brother. Recently, he often comes to Yuanyi to borrow food under various banners. On the one hand, he is of course trying to run against Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, and make the latter do something irrational out of anger.
This move enabled Li Chu or the Jicheng court behind him to legitimately remove Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi. On the other hand, after Li Ke came to the Yuanyi military camp, he often attracted the generals of Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi. His purpose was not only
It goes without saying.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fear of Jicheng, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, would have killed Li Ke long ago.
It's just that he didn't dare in the past, for fear that his impulse would lead to death.
But now, since he had reached an agreement with Zhang Qigong, how could he keep Li Ke? He immediately ordered the man to be killed and used his head to catch the big fish Li Chu.
One day later, Li Ke's head was delivered to Yi'an and delivered to the hands of his clan brother Li Chu. Also delivered at the same time was an angry letter from Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi.
In this letter, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, was certainly not stupid enough to reveal his true intentions. He just pretended to be very angry and expressed his indignation at Li Chu's sending Li Ke to his fief several times to poach him: "You are really
Do you think I dare not kill him?!"
Seeing the head of his clan brother Li Ke and the letter from Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, Yi'an guard Li Chu was filled with sorrow and joy.
Fortunately, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, was finally forced to show signs of rebellion. He could justifiably devour the latter, complete the orders given by Jicheng, and completely control Jingjing Pass, Yuanyi, and Yi'an.
This area, after all, can connect Taiyuan County, Shangdang County, and Yanmen County, so it is a very important strategic place.
Sadly, his younger brother Li Ke was killed by Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi.
To be honest, Li Chu was a little unexpected about this, because in his opinion, he had not pushed Yuanyi Hou Hanpu to the point of "what is intolerable", and he did not know that Yuanyi Hou Hanpu would
What was the situation that made him so angry that he killed his younger brother Li Ke without saying a word.
But since Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, had taken the initiative to provoke, Li Chu would certainly not be polite and immediately gathered the army and mobilized troops to attack Yuanyi.
"Han Pu, you little bitch, come out if you have the guts!"
After leading his army outside the city of Yuanyi County, Han general Li Chu began to curse the city and forced Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, to come forward.
This scene made the Yuanyi soldiers guarding the city very puzzled, because many of them did not know that Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, ordered the killing of Li Ke, which provoked his clan brother Li Chu.
"This idiot!"
On the city gate tower of Yuanyi County, Yuanyi Hou Hanpu looked coldly at Li Chu who was cursing outside the city, and secretly sneered in his heart: If you didn't have some "purpose", you would have become a corpse long ago!
With a sneer in his heart, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, walked to the wall and shouted to Li Chu outside the city: "Li Chu, what are your intentions when you lead your troops to surround me in Yuanyi?!"
"You finally came out." Li Chu spat outside the city and said bitterly: "Han Pu, my brother Li Ke came to your town to borrow food, and you killed him for no reason. What are your intentions? Today you
If you don't give me an explanation, I, Li Chu, will never give up!"
Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, laughed loudly when he heard this, and then he laughed and cursed angrily: "Borrowing without repaying is also called borrowing? I, Yuanyi, also have to feed three to five thousand soldiers and generals, how can I let you wantonly rob my county of food and grass?
...Your brother Li Ke, when he arrived at our military camp, was arrogant and arrogant, which is intolerable. I will kill him because he deserves it!"
"Fart!" Li Chu cursed outside the city.
Gradually, the soldiers of the two Korean armies inside and outside the city also heard the reason: It turned out that Li Chu's brother Li Ke, relying on his brother's support, went to Yuanyi to collect grain and grass by force. Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, was not angry, so he ordered
Kill Li Ke.
Now that they know what happened, the Han army in Yuanyi naturally sides with Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi. Just as Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, said: I, Yuanyi, also have to feed three to five thousand soldiers, so why should I give you food and grass?
No, immediately one of the subordinates of Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, said to him: "Your Majesty, don't pay attention to this guy. The general doesn't believe it. He really dares to attack the city?!"
Upon hearing this, the nearby soldiers also echoed angrily.
Seeing this, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, who pretended to be angry, glanced at Zhang Qigong secretly, and the two exchanged looks with a tacit understanding.
"...It's almost time."
After getting Zhang Qigong's look, Yuanyi Hou Han Pu pretended to be indignant and cursed Li Chu outside the city: "Li Ke died unjustly. Even if I kill him, what can you do? Do you still dare to attack the city?"
"
Obviously, he was deliberately irritating Li Chu.
Sure enough, Li Chu outside the city almost exploded with anger when he heard this and said angrily: "I don't dare to tell you?!"
Seeing this, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, continued to provoke in a subtle way: "If you dare, attack the city!... See if I dare to kill you!"
For a moment, the atmosphere inside and outside the city suddenly became tense.
"Okay, okay!" Li Chu said three good words in a row and cursed: "Han Pu, you killed your colleagues indiscriminately, I will definitely report this to Jicheng..."
"Huh!" Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, sneered when he heard this: "You know who is right and who is wrong. If you hadn't forced me in every possible way, I would have killed your clan brother?... Li Chu, don't think that Jicheng is backing you, so you just
You can climb onto my head unscrupulously. I am very clear about your deeds... In order to seize power, Han Ran framed my uncle Han Hu.
You also refused to save Lihou, who was trapped in the Wei army, and now you are secretly ordering you to kill me. I would have swallowed my anger, but in order to cling to Jicheng, you persecuted me in every possible way, which is intolerable... I, Han Pu, today
Put it here, I have not rebelled against the country or the emperor, so Han Ran cannot kill me. If you dare to attack my Yuanyi today, I will dare to kill you!"
After hearing what Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, said, the soldiers in the city couldn't help but start talking among themselves. They didn't expect that the grudge between Li Chu and Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, would actually involve Han Wangran of Jicheng.
At this time, Li Chu outside the city heard what Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, said, and he laughed as if he had caught something: "Han Pu, you are disrespectful to the king, and you dare to say that you are not guilty? I advise you to open the door and surrender early.
, wait for the fall of Jicheng, the king is merciful, maybe he will spare your life, otherwise, when I break the city, I will cut off your head to claim the credit!"
"I'm afraid that if you fail to take the credit, Yuanyi will be killed!" Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, sneered at each other.
As the two men quarreled, the atmosphere inside the city became increasingly tense.
Although the soldiers of Yuanyi were at a loss when they heard that the feud between Li Chu and Yuanyi Hou Han Pu actually involved Han Wangran and Kang Gong Han Hu, they were temporarily unable to do so due to the pressure brought by Li Chu's army outside the city.
After thinking about it carefully, he subconsciously made a move to defend the city and resist the enemy.
Later, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, ordered Li Chu to retreat immediately three times, but Li Chu ignored him and naturally drew his bow and shot Li Chu with an arrow. The two armies immediately became at war with each other and began to attack each other.
At first, the Yi'an Army and the Yuanyi Army were only fighting lightly, but as wounded people gradually appeared, the soldiers of the two armies gradually became angry and their attacks became more and more ruthless.
Although Li Chu's army did not bring siege equipment this time, only some long ladders that were better than nothing, given that the city wall of Yuanyi was not high, and not all of the three to five thousand troops under Yuanyi Hou Han Pu were stationed
Inside the city, therefore, the east gate of Yuanyi was quickly breached.
This made Yuanyi's soldiers even more angry.
Seeing that the time was right, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, assumed a "fight to the last resort" stance and went to kill the enemy personally.
At the same time, Bei Gongyu also winked at Yougui and several other black crows pretending to be Yuanyi soldiers, telling them to take advantage of the chaos and kill Li Chu.
Ghost and others happily dispatched, first helping Yuanyi Hou Hanpu to kill off the Yi'an army that had invaded the city, and then smoothly and normally launched a counterattack behind Yuanyi Hou Hanpu, fighting all the way to the outside of the city.
Li Chuna, the defender of Yi'an City, knew that there were a group of skilled murderers among the soldiers of Yuanyi Army. He stared at Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, as if he wanted to kill the latter himself to claim credit from Jicheng, but he was killed by the ghost.
The others broke through the obstruction of their guards and were killed on the spot.
"Li Chu is dead!"
Chen Liang, a close guard of Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, cut off Li Chu's head and used the head to force the Yi'an army present to surrender.
When they saw this head, except for the Marquis of Yuanyi Han Pu and his confidants, both the Yi'an army and the Yuanyi army were a little stunned: the dignified defenders of one city actually actually fought against each other in this farce.
Killed in an arms fight?
"Who, who killed him?"
Several generals under Han Pu, Marquis of Yuanyi, looked at each other in confusion.
At this time, Yougui and others had already quietly retreated, leaving only the group of Yuanyi army soldiers looking at each other, at a loss.
Killing the garrison of a city, isn't this tantamount to conspiring to rebel?
"Why panic!"
Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, scolded him. Although he seemed a little panicked on his face, he was laughing in his heart, because all of this was ordered by Zhang Qigong: not only did Yuanyi's soldiers follow him wholeheartedly, but also he made the generals follow him wholeheartedly.
He easily killed Li Chu and incorporated the latter's army.
Now, there is only one last thing left.
Thinking of this, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, winked at Chen Liang, his confidant.
Chen Liang understood and threw Li Chu's head on the ground in full view of everyone, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, although I killed Li Chu by mistake, killing a city guard is a capital crime. What's more, Ji Ji
The other side of the city has always been prejudiced against you because of Duke Kang, and they will definitely not forgive us. No matter what, we will die, so let’s just rebel! Call an alliance, fight to Jicheng, get rid of the faint king, and establish a new king.
!”
"This..." Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, pretended to hesitate.
Seeing this, his confidants who had arranged for him to persuade him all said: "Jicheng was unkind, so don't blame us for being unjust!"
Under the deliberate guidance of these envoys, some Yuanyi military generals who had no idea what was going on gradually began to speak out. It seems that they also understood that Yi'an guard Li Chu died in Yuanyi for no apparent reason, and they could not escape.
It's a capital crime, so why not give it a try?
Under the persuasion of these people, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, pretended to hesitate for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.
Now that the decision was made, he simply refused to do anything. Therefore, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, immediately recruited Li Chu's subordinates. Those who wanted to surrender would live, but those who did not want to surrender would die. Then in just two days, he led his troops.
The general captured Yi'an and Jingjing Pass.
Even Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, did not expect that everything would go so smoothly.
Afterwards, he privately praised Zhang Qigong: "Sir, you are really a genius!"
Zhang Qigong was very calm about the praise given by Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi - Zhang Qigong is certainly a genius in the world, does it need to be said?
"A prince must not be careless."
After giving the instructions, Zhang Qigong glanced in the direction of Jicheng inadvertently.
He has set a trap, it depends on how Jicheng responds.
