What Xia Yu never expected was that when he and Zhang Yu and other generals were discussing how to capture Jinan Prefecture, the soldiers outside the gate reported that the general Tie Xuan who was guarding the city had sent his own servants to Xia Yu's tent suddenly.
"Let him in." Xia Yu said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
"I am Tiehu, a servant of Master Tiexuan. I have come to pay my respects to His Royal Highness Prince Ning on the orders of the master."
"What does your master have to say?" Xia Yu asked indifferently.
He wondered why Tie Xuan sent his servants to his military camp at this time.
"Your Highness Prince Ning, my Lord Tie has a letter to present."
"Present it here, let me see it."
After Xia Yu opened the letter brought by the Tie family's servant, the expression on his face seemed to become even gloomier.
The servant who called himself Tiehu looked at Xia Yu and said with a bow, "My master, Lord Tie, sincerely wanted to submit to His Highness Prince Ning, but unfortunately, Lord Sheng Yongsheng has always been by his side. He is always watching him, so he can't come out to meet His Highness."
Xia Yu narrowed his eyes, and a barely perceptible smile flashed in his starry eyes.
In the previous life, there was also a battle in Jinan Prefecture.
However, the person sitting on the emperor's dragon throne at that time was not Xia Chongwen, but His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, who was poisoned to death by a woman in the palace immediately after the death of the crown prince.
The one guarding Jinan Prefecture at that time was none other than himself, His Royal Highness Prince Ning Xia Yu!
The one who attacked the city in the name of "Jingnan" was the King of Jin who had already passed away at this time!
The battle of Jinan Prefecture remained unchanged, but the camps of the entire Great Xia Dynasty were completely different.
Xia Yu was in a trance for a moment and couldn't tell which life was real.
Just as he was hesitating, he heard the servant Tiehu continue, "My master asked me to tell His Royal Highness Prince Ning that he will personally open the city gates at dawn tomorrow to welcome you, Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, please lead the light cavalry into the city as quickly as possible!"
"Impossible! At the moment of the confrontation between the two sides, His Royal Highness Prince Ning is our commander-in-chief. How could he believe your clumsy plan of false surrender!" Zhang Yu, who was standing on the left of Xia Yu in the tent, blurted out.
To be honest, he absolutely would not believe that Lord Tie Xuan would voluntarily surrender at this moment. This matter always made him feel that something was wrong.
Fake surrender!
It must be a false surrender!
"Your Highness must not fall into the trap!" Zhang Yu turned around and bowed to Xia Yu.
But at this moment, Xia Yu actually believed in Tie Xuan a little.
It was only because he and Tie Xuan had met several times in his previous life, and he had some admiration for Tie Xuan's upright character.
"This Lord Tie has always claimed to be an upright gentleman. He would never use the trick of feigning surrender to deceive this king."
Xia Yu smiled slightly, waved his hand at the excited Zhang Yu, and said, "Besides, I just looked carefully and found that the handwriting on this letter is indeed from Lord Tie Xuan. I recognize his handwriting."
"This..." Although Zhang Yu could no longer say what was wrong, he felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.
Before leaving the tent, Zhang Yu signaled to Ma Sanbao behind Xia Yu that he had something to say.
Ma Sanbao nodded and followed Zhang Yu out of the tent.
As they walked, Zhang Yu said to Ma Sanbao, "Sanbao, I feel uneasy about tomorrow's events."
Ma Sanbao said, "Yes! I also think things won't be that simple."
"Whether His Highness takes you into the city tomorrow or not, you must rush to go. You must be alert when the time comes."
"Yes, sir!"
The next day, in order to show his trust in Tie Xuan, Xia Yu really took several of his guards and walked towards the south gate of Jinan Prefecture.
Tie Xuan, standing on the top of the city wall, ordered his men to obey his orders.
"Remember! You must keep His Royal Highness Prince Ning alive in the city gate."
Zhang Yu guessed right again. Tie Xuan's so-called surrender was nothing more than luring Xia Yu into the city and capturing him alive.
Just as Xia Yu was riding his warhorse and slowly walking to the city gate, Ma Sanbao, who was following behind Xia Yu, suddenly saw that the gate of the city gate began to loosen.
"Your Highness, beware of a trap!"
Ma Sanbao shouted.
The imperial soldiers guarding the city on the city wall heard a loud shout and thought it was Tie Xuan who gave the order, so they immediately lowered the gates.
Seeing that the heavy gate was about to fall on Xia Yu's head, the warhorse under Xia Yu's crotch seemed to have a spirit. It raised its front hooves suddenly and knocked Xia Yu to the ground before he could react.
The horse was violently cut in half by the gate, and a few drops of horse blood splattered onto Xia Yu's face.
Tie Xuan saw that his attempt to capture Xia Yu had failed, so he decided to go all out. He shouted, "Archers, listen to my orders!"
For a moment, Xia Yu, lying on the ground, was closest to death.
Fortunately, Ma Sanbao, who was following Xia Yu, had already noticed the problem with the gate earlier and rushed towards the city gate on his horse. In the blink of an eye, everyone saw Ma Sanbao dragging Xia Yu onto his horse's back and riding straight back.
Xia Yu, riding on horseback, looked back at Tie Xuan on the city wall. At this moment, his anger was completely ignited.
Betrayed by someone you trusted.
Different camps, different characters, but his experience was exactly the same as in his previous life!
Once again, he was brutally betrayed by the people he trusted.
After returning to the camp, Xia Yu was furious and ordered his men to gather all the artillery of the Jingnan Army.
He wants to bombard Jinan Prefecture!
Those who betray him must pay the price.
"Within three days! I will turn Jinan City into a scorched earth!"
Subsequently, heavy artillery bombardment bombarded Jinan Prefecture for two full days.
On the third day, Xia Yu in the tent was wondering why he didn't hear the sound of artillery fire when Zhu Aneng was walking quickly towards the tent.
"Your Highness, Tie Xuan has actually hung the late emperor's tablet on the city wall."
"What? Take me to see it!" Xia Yu really didn't expect that Tie Xuan, who was a gentleman on weekdays, could be such a mean person when he became a villain!
When Xia Yu led the soldiers to the foot of the city tower, he saw a huge tablet hanging on the city gate tower of Jinan Prefecture.
Looking closely, it was the tablet of the old emperor.
As a result, Xia Yu no longer dared to bombard Jinan Prefecture. If he continued to fight, he would be considered a great filial offender.
On the other side, Chen Heng, who was stationed at Songting Pass, was bringing a large amount of food and grass to support Xia Yu.
Unexpectedly, when they were halfway there, they encountered an ambush by the imperial court.
All the food and supplies that Chen Heng brought with him were burned by the imperial army, and he himself only managed to save his life by breaking through the siege.
When Xia Yu heard the news, he felt very disappointed.
You must know that the food he has left is only enough to support his army of more than 100,000 for less than seven days.
At this time, the tablet of the late emperor was still hanging on the city wall of Jinan Prefecture. We could not fight, and we dared not waste time!
"Generals, listen to my orders!"
"exist!"
"Retreat from Yanjing!"
"yes!"
