Chapter 161: Encirclement at Tiewang Mountain (End)

Daybreak came, but the fierce fighting continued.

"Your Highness, it's already dawn. It won't be long before someone with a heart can gather the chaotic army together again, and then..."

Listening to the reminders from his staff, the Second Prince's face became solemn.

This time, the only chance is to win in chaos.

But if the chaos is cleaned up, these people will surely die.

The cover of darkness has lost its effect. If we delay any longer, the Beijing camp, which was in chaos last night, will reorganize and attack again.
The second prince took a deep breath and said, "Call everyone to the big tent to discuss matters."

After a short while, a group of core rebels gathered in the big tent.

Everyone looked unhappy, and they understood what the Second Prince understood.

The assassin failed and now they are stopped outside the palace.
"Who is willing to be an envoy and go to the Shenji Camp to negotiate with Chen Ran?"

What to do when you can’t win? Of course, buy them off.

No one expected Chen Ran to be so tough. They fought for half the night but still couldn't break into the enemy's tent.

At times like this, the only option is bribery.

"Your Highness, Chen Ran is the emperor's confidant. It is not easy to bribe him."

"I know." The second prince said his plan with a cold face, "I am determined to share the world with Chen Ran!"

"Hiss~~~"

There was a sudden sound of gasps in the tent.

This condition is too exaggerated.

Seeing that someone was about to oppose him, the King of Wei simply waved his hand and said, "I have made up my mind! Who is willing to be my envoy?"

Feng Ziying, standing in the corner, was still in a daze, unable to understand why he had become a rebel without knowing why.

Before he could react, he heard his father Feng Tang's anxious whisper in his ear, "Immediately after I go there, I'll be fine! Don't worry about me!"

Without waiting for Feng Ziying to say anything, Feng Tang, whose arm was injured, raised his leg and kicked him out.

Feng Ziying staggered out, steadied himself, and looked up to meet the second prince's red eyes.

"Your Highness, I am willing to go! Chen Ran and I are old acquaintances. I invited him to drink!"

The Second Prince stared at him silently for a while, then turned around, picked up a pen and quickly wrote a letter, then took out his seal and stamped it, "Tell Duke Ningguo that if he agrees, I will send the princess and the prince to his camp as hostages."

Many people admired him in their hearts, saying that he was worthy of being a man who could do great things, and his ruthlessness and determination were far beyond that of ordinary people.

If you ask your wife and children to be given to you, you can do it. If you have a quarrel with them, won’t you be beheaded immediately?
Feng Ziying didn't dare to say anything more. He took the letter and turned away in a hurry.

Before leaving the tent, he couldn't help but turn around and look at his father.

Feng Tang nodded to him with a smile, his eyes determined.

Holding back the tears in his eyes, Feng Ziying hurried out of the tent.

Halfway through the journey, he unexpectedly met Xue Pan who was having breakfast.

After thinking about it, he immediately called Xue Pan and others to join him.

Inside the big tent, after Feng Ziying left, a soldier took Feng Tang to the back as a hostage.

Some of the rebels were also worried, "Your Highness, what if he is unwilling?"

"Then we can only fight hard!"

The second prince, with a gloomy face, called on his confidants, "Carry all the silver I brought to the front of the battle."

The confidant responded first, then asked in confusion, "Your Highness, can you take out all 1.7 million taels?"

"If you don't use it to reward the army, will you keep it to be confiscated?" The second prince sneered, "I will either not do it or do it to the extreme!"

As a prince, he naturally couldn't come up with such a large sum of money.

Especially when the emperor began to recover the deficit and the silver borrowed from the national treasury.

Most of this money was sponsored by the third King Qi.

It was said that the three sons were competing for the throne, but in fact the third son knew that he had little chance and had secretly cooperated with the second son.

There's no way, the boss's advantage is too big.

The eldest brother has the support of the civil servants and he is also the eldest son.

If he was not born out of wedlock but the eldest legitimate son born to the queen, then there would be no need to fight for him at all.

This is not a time of chaos, and the power of the civil officials is too strong, strong enough to influence the direction of the fight for the throne.

If the two of them don't cooperate, there will be no chance at all.

A large part of this money was even the lottery income that Chen Ran had proposed before.

I have to say that the second prince is very courageous, at least he dares to burn his bridges.

Here, Feng Ziying brought Xue Pan and others to the outside of the Shenji Camp.

After passing on the message, Chen Ran allowed them to enter.

Chen Ran, wearing a helmet and armor, sat on a stool and looked at Feng Ziying. "Go ahead."

Unexpectedly, Feng Ziying suddenly knelt down and saluted, "Ran Gong! My father and I accidentally fell into the hands of the rebels, but we are loyal to Your Majesty and have no second thoughts! This time I escaped back under the pretext of being an envoy."

The Second Prince's staff member standing by was horrified, pointed at Feng Ziying and shouted, "Do you want to kill your father?!"

Hearing this, Feng Ziying couldn't help but shed tears, but she said nothing and just kowtowed to Chen Ran.

Chen Ran waved his hand, and his soldiers came forward to capture the aide.

"Get up and talk."

Accidentally falling into the hands of the rebels or something like that, that's just a polite way of putting it.

Everyone knows that the father and son were sent over by Xue Pan as a token of his allegiance.

But I can’t mention it at this time.

When Feng Ziying stood up, Chen Ran asked, "What did you say on the other side?"

Feng Ziying handed the letter to Liu Xianglian.

After opening the letter and reading it, Chen Ran started to laugh. "Divide the world equally? What a big tone."

"Ran Gong!" The staff member who was pinned down by the soldiers struggled hard and shouted, "Your Highness is sincere. As long as Ran Gong agrees, send the princess and the prince here immediately. How about dividing the river and ruling in the future?"

"The conditions are pretty good." Chen Ran still smiled. "Unfortunately, I won't be fooled." He could tell at a glance that this was a delaying tactic.

Even though the conditions may seem very tempting, in reality, once they get the upper hand, they will immediately turn against you.

As for the princess and the prince, those who do big things don’t even care about their own lives, let alone their wives and children.

Before the aide could say anything, Chen Ran had already waved his hand and said, "Cut off his head and throw it out as a reply."

After the staff was dragged away, Chen Ran threw the letter to Feng Ziying and said, "Go to the palace tent and give this to His Majesty."

"Leader!"

On the way to the palace, Feng Ziying looked down the mountain frequently.

The negotiations broke down, he didn't go back, and his head wasn't thrown out. Unless the Second Prince was an idiot, he would know that he had rebelled.

In other words, Father, at this time.
Two miles away from the Shenjiying camp.

The sharp sword fell, and the head of the mighty general Feng Tang rolled to the ground.

The Second Prince took Feng Tang's head as a sacrifice and determined to fight to the death, so he ordered his men to open hundreds of large boxes.

The glittering silver ingots were exposed to everyone's eyes.

"Take as much silver as you can!" The second prince, standing on the stage, raised a tin trumpet and shouted to the rebels, "If you win, return to the capital, I will open the treasury and let you take whatever you want!"

The military of this era is very realistic.

When the treatment is good enough, I have no problem working for you.

But if the treatment is too bad, even if the emperor leads the army in person, the most they can get is three arrows in the battle, which is not worthy of the emperor.

The second prince offered a huge reward, and the morale of the rebels was immediately boosted.

"The first one to break through the camp will be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households! A hundred beauties and one hundred thousand taels of silver will be rewarded!!"

"Kill~"

"kill!!!"

The rebels shouted loudly, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Such a terrible sound even reached the palace halfway up the mountain.

The emperor, holding the letter from the second prince in his hand, was lying on the bed, and the entire bed was lifted out.

Looking at the fierce battle at the foot of the mountain, the emperor with a grim face turned to look at Xia Bingzhong beside him.

"His Majesty."

Xia Bingzhong knew what the emperor meant and quickly responded, "The carrier pigeon has already been released. The reinforcements will arrive within an hour or two at most!"

The enclosure of Tiewang Mountain was essentially the emperor's strategy to lure out the snake from its hole.

Use yourself as bait to lure out the remnants of Lao Liu.

There are two points where it is not so good.

One was that they did not expect the King of Wei to get involved, which led to a significant increase in the strength of the rebels.

Another thing was that he didn't expect the assassin to be such a close friend.

The position of Dragon Guard was only qualified by those who were related to the emperor or even the emperor's nine clans. Who would have thought that there would be someone who would become an assassin.

As for the imperial physician, let alone him.

Every imperial physician must undergo extremely strict review before being admitted to the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Who would have thought that they would also be assassins.

Since it was a plan set up by myself, I must have already made arrangements to deal with any unexpected situations.

The emperor’s backup plan was the border troops!
The border troops of Liaozhen, Jizhen, and Datongzhen received the imperial edict early and headed south, lingering hundreds of miles away.

As soon as we received the news that the Five Cities Army was dispatched, we notified the border troops to march south.

Now, we are constantly urging them to come to our support as soon as possible.

The emperor withdrew his gaze and looked down the mountain again.

"Second brother, you disappoint me so much!"

The emperor once placed high hopes on the second prince because he was resolute and decisive in killing.

But he never thought that his character would go to extremes. When he realized that he might lose the chance to seize the throne, he immediately chose to rebel!
This is too decisive.

"General!" The dusty Liu Xianglian ran to Chen Ran and shouted, "The village outside has been breached, and the rebels are outside the main camp!"

"Oh, I see."

Chen Ran, sitting on a mat, looked normal.

"General!" Liu Xianglian's voice became hoarse with anxiety. "The rebels' offensive is too fierce. How about you go to the palace to take shelter first?"

"I'll teach you one more thing." Chen Ran responded calmly, "Sometimes it seems like you're in a desperate situation, but in fact it's the darkness before dawn. As long as you persevere, the day will come."

Liu Xianglian'(°ー°〃)'

It's too profound, I don't understand~~~
"The emperor must have a backup plan. It's almost time to launch it." Chen Ran waved his hand and said, "Tell the brothers to hold on. You lead the supervision team forward."

Confused, Liu Xianglian had just arrived at the frontline when he saw the rebels outside suddenly retreating like the tide, and finally even collapsed.
"what happened?"

The sentry on the lookout shouted, "Reinforcements are coming! Reinforcements are coming~~~Reinforcements are hitting the rebels' flanks!"

When the second prince learned that the border troops suddenly appeared, he knew that the game was over.

He ignored his accomplices and returned to his tent.

He quickly wrote his suicide note, straightened his clothes and drew his sword.

He was a proud man. If things failed, he would rather die than be imprisoned and humiliated.

Just as he was about to commit suicide, an aide stumbled in and said, "Your Highness, something terrible has happened!"

The second prince smiled sadly, "It's already this time, what big deal can there be?"

"The latest news from the capital, the King of Qin and the King of Qi, they are both dead!"

"Dang!" The sword in the second prince's hand fell to the ground.

After being shocked, he suddenly shouted "Surrender, surrender immediately!" with a look of ecstasy on his face.

I am the only son of the emperor left. What’s the point of dying? I’ll win without any effort!
