My older brother is Gao Huan.

Chapter 597 Oscars owes you and your son an Oscar.
But Zhu Hunyuan wasn't going to just stand there and wait foolishly.

After Dongfang Lao and his men left, he summoned Hou Mochenrui to his side and asked, "Nephew, your father mentioned in his letter to the Prime Minister that Erzhu Rong recently dispatched two thousand elite troops to Beizhong City. In which area of ​​the city are these elite troops stationed?"

Hou Mochenrui pointed southeast, "Father specially gave this group of elites a rest today. They enjoyed wine and meat first, and they are probably sleeping soundly in their barracks right now."

But Zhu Hunyuan nodded, "Do you know where the fuel needed to defend the city is kept?"

Hou Mochen Yue, in order to act out the scene, showed a positive attitude towards defending the city, which must mean that the city had stockpiled a large amount of defensive supplies.

Such as fuel oil, gold juice, etc.

"Uncle, you want to..."

"My soldiers are few in number, so we need to cause enough chaos to control the situation. The only way is to set fire to the houses in the city!"

"I see."

Hou Mochenrui immediately led his soldiers over, and soon brought back several barrels of fuel oil.

At that moment, a commotion arose from the north.

Zhu Hunyuan immediately understood. He drew his precious sword from his waist and raised it high, shouting, "My men! Follow me into the city to kill the enemy!!"

The seven or eight hundred soldiers around him also shouted loudly in unison!

"Kill! Kill! Kill!!"

The shouts of nearly a thousand soldiers, gathered together, created a deafening roar!

"kill!!"

Zhu Hunyuan charged into the city first, with his soldiers following closely behind!

The sudden shouts of battle immediately woke up the sleeping soldiers in the city. Still under the influence of alcohol, they were too groggy to think clearly.

As Kezhu Hunyuan ordered that oil be poured on the house, it was immediately set on fire with torches!

boom!
Instantly, flames shot into the sky, dispelling the darkness that had enveloped the night!
"The enemy is attacking!!"

"Fire! Fire!!"

"Come and put out the fire!"

"what!!"

The once quiet North Central City was suddenly thrown into chaos, filled with all sorts of noises and screams!

Amidst the raging flames, Zhu Hunyuan witnessed a raggedly dressed city guard kill his panicked comrade with a single blow. The uprising he had imagined had indeed occurred!

Faced with the sudden attack and the fear of the unknown, the morale of the defending soldiers had completely collapsed!
"kill!!"

In fact, there was no need for Zhu Hunyuan and others to take any action; many of the poorly clothed soldiers had already become cold corpses on the ground.

Once a riot occurs.

Even the most well-trained elites can become like a mob. Even the few who can react quickly and remain clear-headed are simply unable to control the situation in such chaos!

"Nephew, all your plans have succeeded. Go quickly and help your father finish his final act!"

"Thank you, Uncle!!"

But Zhu Hunyuan turned around and gave another order.

Instruct the soldiers to focus on killing those who have calmed down and begun to quell the chaos on a small scale, while those who are still acting like headless flies need not be bothered at all.

………………

Inside the mansion in the city.

The banquet never stopped.

Although Hou Mochenyue wore a smile, his heart was far from as calm as his face suggested!

He didn't know if Gao Yu would send someone.

He had no idea what was going on outside, so all he could do now was stall everyone for as long as possible and wait!

Suddenly.

I could faintly hear a commotion and a lot of noise.

Hou Mochenyue suddenly gripped her wine glass tightly, but frowned and asked, "What's going on? Why is it so noisy?"

Someone below immediately warned, "Could it be that the bandit army is launching a nighttime attack?"

"That's impossible. So many scouts were sent out to gather information in all directions. If they had discovered the movements of the bandit army, how come no one came back to report?"

Just as everyone was filled with surprise and uncertainty, they heard a deafening roar of battle cries!
Everyone's expression changed, and they all turned to look outside!
Hou Mochenyue clenched his fists, then relaxed them. He quickly got up and walked outside, where he saw flames shooting into the sky from the city!
I was overjoyed!

My plan has succeeded!

"General! What...what happened?"

Everyone rushed to Hou Mochen Yue's side, completely dumbfounded!

There were guards at all four gates on the city wall. How could the enemy have broken into the city so easily?

Hou Mochen Yue also looked completely bewildered, "I...I don't know either."

"Quickly! Bring me my armor! We must meet the enemy at once! The Prime Minister trusts us so much, how can we let Beizhong City fall so easily?!"

"There are also several thousand elite troops in the city; they can easily drive the enemy out!"

"General! The situation regarding the enemy and ourselves is unclear. We don't even know how many enemy troops have entered the city. The best course of action now is to flee as quickly as possible!"

"Get out of my way! How could I possibly betray the Prime Minister?!"

Someone kept dragging Hou Mo Chen Yue, trying to get him to escape, but Hou Mo Chen Yue forcefully refused!
They pulled and tugged at each other, which delayed things a little longer.

Just now.

A series of hurried footsteps sounded, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

Hou Mochenrui was seen taking the lead as he entered the courtyard.

Hou Mochenyue roared, "You unfilial son, why aren't you on duty on the city wall... could it be that you..."

Hou Mochenrui laughed loudly, "Father! The traitor Erzhu Rong murdered the emperor and usurped the throne, as everyone knows. I advise you to quickly lay down your weapons and come with me to see the Prime Minister. Perhaps the Prime Minister will spare your life if he thinks you have realized your mistake in time! If you are still stubborn, I will not be able to protect you!"

"You unfilial son!!"

Hou Mochen Yue was furious, his eyes blazing with rage. He pointed at him and said, "The Prime Minister has been incredibly kind to my father and me, and yet you have committed this act of treason!"

"General! Run!!"

Those who were originally beside Hou Mo and Chen Yue had already turned around and run to the backyard.

But as soon as Zhu Hunyuan raised his hand, a large number of soldiers rushed in and captured Hou Mochen Yue!

"You traitor!"

"How could I have given birth to such a wicked beast? How can you act like this and face the Prime Minister?!"

Hou Mochenrui walked up to him with a loud laugh, looking down at him and said, "Hahaha, Father! A wise man knows when to yield. The general trend of the world is clear. How can we try to stop a chariot with our bare hands?"

"Since you are unwilling to submit to the Prime Minister, then... don't blame your son for being unfilial!!"

But Zhu Hunyuan watched coldly from the sidelines.

The father and son's acting was so convincing that if you didn't know the truth, you would really think it was a loyal old father who had been betrayed by his filial son.

He had given instructions before he even entered, and the soldiers who went to pursue him didn't take it seriously at all.

They deliberately let many people escape, allowing them to climb over the courtyard wall and escape from the backyard of the mansion.

If these people don't escape, if they don't flee the city, how can they become 'witnesses' for Hou Mochen Yue?

Until everyone had fled.

Hou Mochenrui then knelt down with a look of fear and said, "Father... I was very rude just now."

He quickly helped Hou Mochen Yue up.

Hou Mochen Yue didn't mind at all; on the contrary, she was very pleased. "You acted very well just now. Only by doing this can your brother and mother have a chance to live!"

He then looked at Kezhu Hunyuan and said, "I am very grateful to Brother Hunyuan for this trouble. I will definitely pay a visit to express my gratitude in the future!"

"Brother, you deserve the greatest credit for capturing North Central City this time!"

"For now, we hope that you will step in to control the situation. We will wait for the Prime Minister in the city."

"This is as it should be."

Hou Mochen Yue nodded.

The city's elite troops were also part of his achievements.

As long as a soldier has food to eat, it doesn't matter who he serves.
It was not difficult to persuade them to join Gao Yu's side.
