Chapter 591 You Kill Yourself
After seeing Guo Chong off, Bai Xingzhi suggested that the King of Jin go to visit the troops.
To be honest, the atmosphere in their army is very depressed nowadays.
As the saying goes, the army of the underdog will win. But they also need to prevent the dog from jumping over the wall in desperation, after all, survival is human instinct.
Therefore, it is very necessary for the King of Jin to go and comfort the troops and stabilize their morale.
Prince Jin walked around and spoke with one meaning, "Don't worry, you will follow me and fight to the end. Even if I die, I will make sure you are well taken care of before I die."
On the other side, after Guo Chong replied, Qin Zhao asked, "How is it?"
Guo Chong drank the tea in his hand and said with a smile, "I am glad that I have fulfilled my mission."
Qin Zhao nodded. In the words of their governor, they and King Jin had only reached a preliminary cooperation intention. Whether the cooperation could be concluded depended on whether they could fulfill the preconditions.
"I don't know where they are and whether they have reached the designated strategic location." The three armies outside are crucial.
Guo Chong thought for a moment and replied, "Four or five days have passed. If nothing unexpected happens, the Sun family army should arrive the fastest. These two forces, namely Sixth Master and General Yue, have a long route to penetrate and a large area, so the possibility of accidents is also high."
Qin Zhao smiled and said, "Don't worry, they all carry a layer of skin when they go out, and there are quite a few clever little guys in the team."
Most importantly, the imperial army that was besieging the Prince of Jin did not come from the same military region. They were a hodgepodge of forces from the Southwest Army, the Southern Expedition Army, and the Longquan Camp. This created a loophole that could be exploited.
Qin Zhaoxin said, as for Xiaoliu, you don’t have to worry about it.
Qin Sheng, who they were thinking about, was now moving at full speed.
The scout who led the way came back and reported to Qin Sheng, "Fourth Master, we are in Fanchang ahead. This section of the road is the easiest to be discovered."
Before Qin Sheng could say anything, Chen Jinlong and others beside him asked, "How about going around it?"
"If we take a detour, it will probably delay us for a day and a night."
Everyone looked at Qin Sheng, waiting for his decision.
Qin Sheng lowered his head and thought. Currently, Xie Zhan is the highest-ranking general of the East China Sea Campaign of the imperial court. He will temporarily set up his command camp in Qiantang, Kuaiji.
They now need to go around to the rear of Xie Zhan. If they have more time, they can ambush him more calmly.
"Look, we have plenty of empty sacks, don't we? Come on, find a place and fill them with rotten leaves and soil! Let's go over there disguised as a supply team."
"Sixth Master, this is a great idea!"
"Get to work!"
"We're a supply team transporting food to Governor Xie! When you go out, hold your heads high. If anyone cowers again, I'll kick their ass!"
A quarter of an hour later, their army wore the uniforms of the Zheng Junnan Army and paraded through the city disguised as the imperial baggage supply team.
When they passed Fanchang, they were indeed stopped.
The person who stopped them was a close confidant of Weng Yuanjie, the lieutenant of Fanchang County. "Who are you?"
"Are you blind?" The one who stepped forward to answer was Jia Sanjin from the Sun family army.
The other people he had were borrowed from Qin Sheng and Sun Congyi, so wouldn't they come in handy?
He shouted confidently, "Why are you stopping us? Can't you see the military uniforms we're wearing?"
The confidant was about to get angry, but Weng Yuanjie, who was standing nearby, stepped forward and said, "Sir, calm down. We are just conducting a routine inspection..."
As he spoke, Weng Yuanjie took a quick look and found that they were indeed wearing the uniforms of the Southern Expedition Army.
"Your attitude is much better than that of the guy next to you. I have a heavy mission and I'm in a hurry, otherwise I'll have to slap these two tactless people in the face."
"Yes, yes, sir, don't bother with a fool like him." After Weng Yuanjie apologized, he asked curiously, "Sir, what are you doing?"
"I'm delivering food to General Xie. Didn't you see me? Okay, the military situation is urgent. What about you? Good dogs don't get in the way. If you delay things, you three clans wouldn't be worthy of being beheaded!"
After Jia Sanjin finished speaking, the boy next to him chimed in, "Exactly, are there any rules left? You're just asking around!"
"Okay, don't worry about them. The governor is about to launch a general attack. Let's transport the food over quickly, otherwise we will be left with nothing if it's too late." Jia Sanjin ignored them and directly ordered the team to move forward.
Weng Yuanjie's confidant wanted to stop them, but his superiors wouldn't let him, so he could only hold his breath. "What's the attitude of these people? County Lieutenant, since they won't accept questioning, they must produce the military order to transport grain."
Another of Weng Yuanjie's subordinates advised, "Come on, these soldiers are so arrogant and want to kill people at the slightest disagreement. Why bother provoking them?"
Listening to his subordinates' words, Weng Yuanjie was also uneasy.
This matter was eventually brought to the attention of Xie Zhan by Weng Yuanjie. His original intention was to correct the problem if there was one, and to crown him if there was none.
When Xie Zhan heard the report, his eyes darkened.
Just after the three armies led by Qin Sheng, Yue Shu and Sun Congyi arrived at the designated strategic location, Xie Zhan launched a general attack on the King of Jin, and almost all the imperial troops were sent up.
The King of Jin finally had no way to retreat and had to enclose land for self-defense.
The two armies faced each other. Xie Zhan stood in front, looking at King Jin and said coldly, "King Jin, kill yourself."
"After your death, I will petition the Emperor to spare the women and children of the Prince of Jin's mansion. I will also pardon the crimes of the soldiers under your command who have gone astray."
Upon hearing this, the King of Jin rolled his eyes. "Why? Who do you think you are? You told me to die, so I'm going to die? Even if there's no mirror right now, can't I pee? Just take a pee and look at yourself. I'm not that good-looking, but I have beautiful thoughts."
Bai Xingzhi covered his face. Ever since the agreement was reached with Pingzhou, King Jin seemed to have unloaded the heavy burden on his shoulders and completely let himself go. Maybe it was because he had been hanging out with people from Pingzhou so often these days that his eloquence had become extremely fluent.
"Prince Jin, you know that as the mastermind of the rebellion of the East China Sea forces, it will be difficult to thank the world if you don't die." Xie Zhan frowned. He thought he was very kind by saving the family of Prince Jin's Mansion.
Prince Jin: "We both rebelled, but you didn't die. Why should I kill myself?"
Seeing him so stubborn, Xie Zhan was too lazy to persuade him anymore. "Since you, the King of Jin, refuse to accept my toast, then there is nothing we can do. Someone, come—"
"Wait!" Qin Zhao walked out with Guo Chong. "Xie Zhan, you told the King of Jin to commit suicide. Have you asked us in Pingzhou?"
Xie Zhan sneered, "What qualifications do you Pingzhou have to interfere in this matter?"
Xie Nan, who was standing beside him, echoed, "That's right. You, the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force, are all in a difficult situation, yet you still want to meddle in other people's affairs? How ridiculous."
"Kill the King of Jin!" Xie Zhan ordered coldly.
Upon hearing this, the personal guards around Prince Jin surrounded him and looked around vigilantly.
Just as Xie Zhan's ambushing archers were about to strike, a sharp arrow pierced the air and shot straight at the flagpole of the imperial flag. This arrow was followed by two more, both hitting the same spot on the flagpole.
After three arrows, the sturdy flagpole fell down.
The court officers and soldiers were in an uproar. At this time, the flag representing the court fell down, which was so unlucky.
The soldiers from Pingzhou and Prince Jin were cheering.
Xie Zhan was not surprised when he saw Qin Sheng and the army behind him.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
At this time, the imperial army in the south was directly divided into two, back to back, into two circles, the inner and outer circles. The soldiers in the inner circle still held their weapons and pointed them at the army of King Jin, while the soldiers in the outer circle held bows and arrows and pointed them at the Pingzhou Jintai army.
Qin Sheng: "Xie Zhan, take back your order! Otherwise, before your archer makes his move, your head will be torn apart like that flag! "
Seeing this, Qin Zhao and Guo Chong realized that Xie Zhan was not defenseless.
Xie Zhan shouldn't ask back, "Qin Sheng and Pingzhou Jintai Army have appeared, are there any more?"
"Since Governor Xie actually asked, there must be one." Qin Zhao said with a smile.
Then he waved his hand, and after a short horn sound, there was movement in the northwest.
When Yue Shu appeared with his army behind him, Xie Zhan actually nodded.
Xie Zhan's eyes swept across the faces of Qin Sheng, Qin Zhao, Yue Shu and even Guo Chong, thinking that all the generals of the Pingzhou expeditionary force were here.
At this time, Qin Zhao asked with a smile, "General Xie, you don't think that we only have this much troops, right?"
Xie Zhan's heart sank when he heard this. Could it be?
At this time, there was movement in the west of the battlefield.
When Xie Zhan saw Sun Congyi and the Sun family army behind him, his expression finally changed.
Qin Zhao asked calmly, "May I ask, Grand Governor Xie, do we in Pingzhou have the qualifications to have an equal dialogue with you now?"
