Chapter 3490: Communicating with the Emperor of Yan
He wanted to rush in, and the people behind him naturally followed him. But Chen Wenxiong would not let them take a single step into the Chen Mansion, so he led everyone to push and shove them. When the soldiers and warriors of the Chen Mansion that Xiahou Jiu had left around the Chen Mansion saw them like this, they also rushed over. For a moment, the two gangs confronted each other at the door of the Chen Mansion and were about to fight.
At this moment, Chen Bi Ri shouted loudly:
"Xiahou Jiu, are you going to rebel?!"
Although Xiahou Jiu's mind was already a little hot at this time, after all, he was full of regret for leaving Chen Mansion and letting Li Wu Yu fall into Chen Biri's hands, but when he heard the words "rebellion", it was like a heavy stone hitting him on the head.
Even the soldiers behind him were frozen.
Naturally, they had to listen to Xiahou Jiu, but they did not understand the current situation.
If, if Xiahou Jiu really wanted to rebel, if they really followed Xiahou Jiu in rebelling without thinking, what would be their outcome?
If the rebellion succeeds, I won’t say anything more.
If they fail, won’t all of them be beheaded, and their families will also be implicated?
Thinking of this, these people's movements became a little slow.
Seeing everyone being yelled at, Xiahou Jiu's heart was pounding. He immediately shouted, "Chen Biri, please stop slandering me. I just want to see His Majesty. What are you trying to do by blocking the door and not letting me in?"
Chen Bi Ri said, "I have already made it very clear. His Majesty is resting and cannot see anyone at this moment, let alone disturb him. But you, General, dared to bring your men to force your way in while His Majesty is recuperating inside. You are so disrespectful to the emperor, what else could this be but rebellion?!"
"you--"
He kept shouting "rebellion", which not only stopped Xiahou Jiu, but also made the people Xiahou Jiu brought with him panic.
At this time, Ruan Wentong stepped forward and whispered in Xiahou Jiu's ear: "General, please retreat first."
Xiahou Jiu looked at him with a frown. Just now, he was the one who urged them to come quickly, but as soon as they reached the door, he asked them to retreat. Xiahou Jiu was naturally unwilling in his heart, but the road ahead was really blocked, and he really didn't have a complete break with Chen Biri and there was no need for them to draw swords against each other.
Ruan Wentong said softly, "General, please retreat first."
Fan Chenggong and Pan Shixiong on the side were both somewhat dissatisfied. Fan Chenggong stepped on the threshold and was about to confront Chen Wenxiong directly, but Xiahou Jiu looked at the situation inside and then looked around, and could only grit his teeth and say, "Retreat first."
As soon as he said this, the people behind him naturally retreated.
Chen Biri stood in the middle of the gate, looking at them coldly. Although his palms, hidden in his sleeves, were already covered in sweat, his expression remained unchanged. He said slowly, "General, His Majesty's orders must not be neglected. Quickly mobilize the troops and horses. We cannot let the Yan people succeed in their conspiracy."
Xiahou Jiu turned around and gave him a fierce look, then jumped on his horse and left Chen's house with his men.
As soon as they left, Chen Biri immediately had the door closed. In addition to the bolt, he also propped the door up with two thick wooden pillars to prevent anyone from knocking on it again.
As soon as they turned a corner, Fan Chenggong couldn't wait to complain: "General, why should we retreat!?"
Pan Shixiong also said: "If we retreat like this, won't that give them more opportunities?"
Xiahou Jiu's face turned pale. He turned to look at his military advisor, Ruan Wentong, who was riding beside him. Ruan Wentong said calmly, "General, Generals, I just asked everyone to come here quickly because I wanted to take advantage of Chen Bi Ri's lack of consciousness. As long as we can enter the Chen Mansion and see His Majesty, everything will be easy."
Fan Chenggong said dissatisfiedly: "So what if he is here?"
Ruan Wentong said: "Didn't you hear what he just said?"
“…”
"Although he doesn't have the same influence in the army as Chen Wenxiong and Chen Wenxiao, he is still a prime minister after all. Especially since Your Majesty is under his control, his words are Your Majesty's voice. This is what I just said - using the emperor to control the princes."
“…”
"If the general had really engaged them and forced his way in, then barging into His Majesty's headquarters would have been considered rebellion, which is unacceptable. Besides, he's been operating in Doubei Town for a long time, so if the general were to engage them here, he wouldn't have the upper hand."
Xiahou Jiu frowned and said nothing.
At this time, he regretted so much that he had left the Chen Mansion so rashly.
But at this point, it was too late to regret. He could only say, "So what should we do now? Do we really have to listen to him and attack Yongzhou? Wouldn't that just do what he wants?"
Pan Shixiong said in a deep voice, "Is this order true or false? Your Majesty doesn't really want us to attack Yongzhou, does he?"
Ruan Wentong said: "It must be fake."
Everyone hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"
Nguyen Van Tong said, "Based on the General's description of His Majesty's poisoning, it's impossible for him to wake up in such a short time and issue such an order. Besides, don't we know His Majesty's temperament? Military and national affairs have always been decided by the General and Chen Bi Ri. He can't make such a decision on his own."
Xiahou Jiu gritted his teeth and said, "Then, Chen Biri dares to pass on the imperial decree?!"
Ruan Wentong said, "Firstly, Your Majesty was poisoned during a meeting with the Emperor of Yan. He sent the general to attack Yan, which can be said to be revenge for Your Majesty. Once the two countries go to war, there is no turning back. Your Majesty would not really punish the prime minister who 'avenged' for you for the sake of a Yan country that has already turned against you."
Xiahou Jiu said, "He is very shrewd and calculating."
“…”
"If that's the case, do we really have to listen to him?"
Ruan Wentong looked at him, then looked around and said, "General, let's go back first."
Seeing him like this, everyone feared that he had come up with some plan, so they hurriedly rode their horses and quickly returned to the camp where Li Wu Yu was staying.
After everyone entered the house, Ruan Wentong had the gate closed and more people posted to the front and back of the garden to watch. Xiahou Jiu said impatiently, "What's your idea? Tell me now!"
Ruan Wentong turned to look at him and said, "General, you must send someone to Yongzhou immediately."
“…!?”
Xiahou Jiu was stunned, staring at him with wide eyes: "Do you really want me to attack Yongzhou?!"
Ruan Wentong shook his head and said, "No."
“…”
"What I mean is that the general must quickly send someone to inform the Emperor of Yan."
Xiahou Jiu looked at him: "You, what do you mean?"
