[Lorrey just came back from his hometown. Today’s update is much late. I hope everyone can forgive me. The second update will be in an hour. 】
Zhao Jun and Wei Jun returned to their respective countries in despair. The two generals, Zhao Mu and Xiao Wei Mou, were both punished to a certain extent. They held a grudge in their hearts and sent their confidants to find out the whole story.
Although they were sure that they had been deceived by Ji Jie and Han An, they had no evidence in hand and they urgently needed the evidence to vindicate themselves.
Han An led 100,000 Korean troops and the bruised Han Xu into South Korea. He did not return directly to the capital Xinzheng, but stationed himself in a small town a hundred miles away from Xinzheng. He sent an envoy to tell King Han that he was waiting for the last job. How to make new weapons.
The King of Han asked him to send the second drawing to the capital as soon as possible, but Han An refused, on the grounds that he needed to verify each other with the second and third drawings, and then return after confirming the authenticity.
King Han had no choice but to agree. He wanted to find out the truth through Han Xu, but was told that Han Xu was ill and could not see guests.
In fact, Han Xu was the one who was most anxious. He could imagine that it would not be an easy thing for Han An to be cruel to him. Even if he violated military law, he was still a prince after all. At most, a verbal punishment would be enough. Han An, however, hit him dozens of times with military sticks regardless of his feelings, and had no intention of letting him go. He simply wanted to beat him to death.
What does this mean? It means that Han An is confident. Isn't he afraid of being blamed by his father when his master returns to the court?
He must not be afraid, which means that he is prepared in a certain way. What exactly is it? Han Xu once thought that Han An would launch a mutiny, but he immediately gave up the idea. He thought that Han An would not.
Han An has always given people a sense of humility and kindness, and he should not do such a treacherous thing; besides, he has only been in charge of the army for a few days, and the army cannot just listen to his command. Since ancient times, To this day, no one who can seize the throne by force does not have a large group of followers.
Not only Han Xu thought so, but even the suspicious King Han Hui believed that the prince would not rebel, because he did so very openly in this matter. He withdrew from the Three Jin Alliance with reasonable reasons, and also obtained it from Ji Jie. Something that everyone dreams of.
How did King Han Hui know that the so-called second and third drawings were just a cover-up? The reason why Han An rejected him was that he didn't even have a second copy, so what could he send back?
However, there are other cooperation "projects" between Han An and Ji Jie, which are the new weapons that Ji Jie promised him that can equip 20,000 people, and helping him to sit on the throne of the King of Han.
Ji Jie kept his word. After returning to Zhaocheng, he first talked about merit and rewarded the officials who had made meritorious service in the battle. Then he took out 20,000 new army equipment from the warehouse, took the three brothers of the Xiong family and a group of 300 personal guards. , go to the place where Han An is stationed.
When they meet, they are both old acquaintances, so there is no need to be polite.
Everyone who saw Ji Jie came empty-handed, and there was no accompanying carriage to transport things. Han An's face looked a little ugly.
"Brother Han, don't be anxious, haha!" Ji Jie pulled Han An aside and whispered: "Bring it directly to you. I'm afraid that people will be unobtrusive. You send a thousand sergeants and 300 large carriages with me. "
"Okay!" Han An was eager to get the supplies immediately and seize the time to equip the troops.
Ji Jie took the people to a hill more than ten miles away. He walked in first and then let the people in. He saw that the valley was filled with various materials, and everyone began to carry them.
Han An got what he wanted as he wished, and happily found Ji Jie and asked: "Brother Ji, what should I do next? Please give me an idea!"
Although Han An has a large number of soldiers, these people are not his direct descendants. With the Tiger Talisman and the King of Han Sword in hand, these soldiers will obey his orders on the battlefield. Now they have retreated and asked them to fight towards the capital of their country. There are probably many of them. People will refuse to carry out orders.
Ji Jie smiled, of course he knew what Han An was thinking.
"Your scruples are not unreasonable. No matter how big or small things are in the world, the prerequisite is to be justified!" Ji Jie said with a smile: "You have to give the soldiers a reasonable reason, so that they feel that it is right to follow you and do what you do. It’s also the right thing to do!”
Han An nodded and waited for his next words.
"Don't you still hold a chess piece in your hand?" Ji Jie reminded.
Chess piece? Han An was stunned, but he immediately thought of the answer. The so-called chess piece was of course his younger brother Han Xu. This kid became much more honest after being beaten violently, but these were all superficial and he had to show it on his face. Show your surrender to prevent yourself from suffering greater sins.
In fact, in his heart, he didn't know how many times he scolded Han An. As long as he was allowed to return to Xinzheng alive, he would definitely use various methods to retaliate against Han An.
The chess pieces were chess pieces, but Han An didn't know how to use them, so he had to ask Ji Jie again.
Ji Jie's plan was simple and practical, which was to send a team of people to escort Han Xu back first, not back to Xinzheng, but stationed in a military camp outside the city, and then fake a few orders from the King of Han to make him feel that he had a chance to win. Unknowingly, he entered the trap that had been designed.
Those who escorted Han Xu and those who responded in the camp, including those who falsely conveyed the imperial edict in the later period, must be Han An's confidants. Only in this way can the development of the situation be firmly under his control.
If you want to launch a coup to take power, the best way is undoubtedly to let others rebel first, and then put down the rebellion yourself. This changes from a conspiracy to usurp the throne to a legitimate one.
"Isn't this too risky?" Han An said worriedly.
"Of course there are ways not to take risks!" Ji Jie said solemnly: "But have you ever considered that once the world thinks that you obtained the throne through unfair means, not only your younger brothers will rebel, but some military generals will If you will follow suit, the six countries that are eyeing you will also take the opportunity to send troops to invade. At that time, how will you deal with internal and external troubles?"
Han An broke out in a cold sweat after saying this. When the situation got to that point, he really had no choice but to let others take advantage of him.
"Then please give Brother Ji full authority to formulate the plan, and I will execute it!" Han An bowed deeply.
It had been prepared a long time ago. Ji Jie took out a detailed plan and handed it to him.
Han Xu was quickly put on a carriage and headed towards the capital. Shortly after they set off, the captain of the guard who was responsible for guarding along the way pretended to join him and lied that Han An had set an ambush on the road and that they would only go to Xinzheng. It could be a dead end.
"What should we do?" Han Xu held the guard captain's hand tightly, as if grasping a life-saving straw.
The captain of the guard rolled his eyes and said: "Go to the camp outside the city. Only there is safe. The camp guard only listens to the orders of King Han. You are the prince. They should protect you. Then send someone to inform the king.
The prince’s conspiracy will be revealed to the world!”
"What a great idea. Just do what you said and go to the camp outside the city!" Han Xu agreed without thinking.
