The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 369 Wang's Poison Plan, Kong's Blocking Arrows

The camp of the Langya rebels was in the west of the city, and the tents were connected for two miles.Many torches were lit in the camp, and under the light of the fire, groups of soldiers patrolled the camp.

On a soil slope on the south side of the camp, Jiang Xin lurks here with a team of troops.He came from Mount Tai to personally lead a team to assassinate Mi Ping and Zhou Hanyin who had defected.

According to the news from the insiders in the rebel camp, Wang Fan was not in the camp, but went back to Langya city to drink with the scholars in the city.Both Mi Ping and Zhou Hanyin stayed in the camp, and the spies from the Niandengfang arranged manpower everywhere. When Jiang Xin came, they could create chaos everywhere, and let Jiang Xin lead people into the camp to assassinate Mi Ping and Zhou Hanyin.

The manpower brought by Jiang Xin this time is all masters of the lamphouse.He has performed many missions in Qingzhou and has rich combat experience.

Looking at the waning moon in the sky covered by dark clouds, and there are still large dark clouds in the distance, Jiang Xin asked his men to send a signal to start action.Three birdsongs sounded, and a group of Twister house spies hiding in the dark approached the camp quietly, and they threw explosives into the camp.Some spies from other directions shot at the camp, and some threw torches into the camp.

Flames were everywhere, explosions were heard endlessly, and a large number of patrol soldiers were shot and killed.The people in the camp were awakened, and they were in a mess. Mi Ping walked out of the tent and kicked down the soldiers who were running around in front of him.

He held up his long sword and shouted: "Don't mess around, hurry up and put out the fire. Others go to the enemy and kill them all for me."

No one listened to him at all. The 2000 troops he brought were in Langya City. These rebels were large in number, but they had no military discipline at all.Zhou Hanyin looked at the scene in front of him, picked up the musket on the ground, raised his hand and shot a soldier who was about to open the horse pen.

The gunfire calmed down the rebels nearby, and Zhou Hanyin fired a few more shots into the sky to calm down more people.

He stood on a high place and shouted: "Don't panic, put out the fire first."

Looking at the figures of Mi Ping and Zhou Hanyin, Jiang Xin said to his subordinates, "Find the timing and kill them with one blow."

"As ordered!"

The slope where they were hiding was only 300 meters away from the camp, and the firelight in the camp illuminated Mi Ping and Zhou Hanyin like two living targets.They are equipped with the latest high-precision rifles, with terrifying accuracy within 500 meters.

More than a dozen guns were aimed at Mi Ping and Zhou Hanyin, Jiang Xin nodded slightly, a burst of gunshots rang out, Mi Ping and Zhou Hanyin fell to the spot, the guards around them reacted, carried them and ran into the tent.

"How is it?" Jiang Xin asked anxiously.

"If you get shot in the head, you will definitely die," said the subordinate.

Then Jiang Xin called his men to retreat, and they could not go back to Langya City, so they rode fast horses and headed straight to Mount Tai.Originally, Jiang Xin wanted to go to the pier to find a way to blow up the warship, but the warship had already set sail, and he didn't know where it was going for the time being.

It was already noon the next day when we returned to Mount Tai, and Liu Bian was arranging for Song Ran to issue orders to Du Yu, Guo Huai, and Shi Xinghe.

The new army that was supposed to land in Langya has already landed in Pingqu and is approaching Langya.

The fleet continued to go north, trying to cut off the escape route of the Langya rebels from the sea.The other is to bring many soldiers, which is not conducive to annihilating the defecting warships.

The [-] new troops of the Heishui Dufu Mansion have also landed in Penglai by boat, and will soon arrive in Buqi. Liu Bian's tentative time for the general attack is five days later.Originally, the Wang family didn't want to raise the banner so quickly, but the court's spies were so powerful that they had to act in advance.

Kong Hongwen left behind his two sons to defend the city with 2000 troops and the Wang family, while he himself returned to his hometown in Lu County, preparing to resist Chaoge's army.Duke Yansheng's reputation is much higher than that of the Wang family, and Lu County's opportunity is the backyard of the Kong family.The young and strong people in the whole city were mobilized by them, and they went up to the city wall to defend the city, wanting to live and die with Lu County.

Originally, in order to prevent the Confucians from interfering with the industrialization reform, Liu Bian had given them a lot of rewards.Kong Hongwen was crowned the crown prince and Taifu, and his two sons also worshiped as great scholars.Unexpectedly, they rose up to rebel, and even the spies planted in the Kong family were deceived by them.

Now the two top families, the Kong family and the Wang family, are rebelling, causing turmoil in Qingzhou's officialdom. Many officials have defected to the Kong family. Peace talks, otherwise he will be dismissed from office to help the Kong family.

Angry, Wei Zheng asked the Overwatch Council to arrest a group of people, who are now being held in Chang'an, and asked Liu Bian to kill them all.Yuan Hongyang's rebellion before was caused by Jizhou's aristocratic family who inherited the name of Yuan Shao's descendants, and he failed to gain a foothold in Jizhou.

The Wang family is different, this is a clan that has been passed down for thousands of years, and they have never moved anywhere in Langya.The entire Langya County and several nearby counties were infiltrated by them.They have started to let their clansmen and retainers enter the military and political system early on. As officials in the court, the royal family will provide resources to make them climb higher.

Once they are out of control, their handles will be handed over by the Wang family, and someone will use the evidence to claim credit for themselves.Therefore, the officials controlled by the Wang family are very obedient, which is also the reason why Langya can have so many officers and soldiers to join him.

What the Wang family thought at first was to drag Yan Shenggong to their own boat, and use the name of Yan Shenggong to call the scholars from all over the world to Langya.The Wang family felt that it would be no problem to control Qingzhou with their own strength.At that time, a large number of scholars will be needed to help them govern Qingzhou, but they did not expect that the imperial court had already responded, so they could only rush to revolt. Fortunately, the Wang family arranged for people in Qingzhou and Xuzhou to bring a total of [-] troops .

Coupled with the soldiers he privately raised and the horse bandits he recruited, the Wang family has 43 troops in their hands.Now Wang Fan no longer looked down on Kong Hongwen, so he was willing to let Kong Hongwen go back to Lu County.

"Brother Weilin, Langya is now besieged by the imperial army. I am afraid that Lu County will not have a good time, why don't you and Ling brother bring people back to Lu County. Our two families, Liu Shao from Jibei and the unbelievable Yuan Hongyang are just right for each other. Help, what do you think?" Wang Fan said to Kong Weilin.

Hearing Wang Fan's words, Kong Weilin immediately agreed.He was also very worried about Lu County's safety. After all, the Kong family didn't have much influence in the army, and without the assistance of regular troops, how could they beat the imperial army?

He also knew that Wang Fan wanted to collect the scholars gathered by Langya, and he didn't want the Kong family to take a share.But the Kong family has the name of Yan Shenggong, there are countless books in the family, and there are more than a dozen great Confucianists, so they don't pay attention to these scholars at all.

The Kong family is a bomb. Anyone who dares to attack the Kong family can only wait for the result of confronting the world's scholars. Anyone who is not a fool knows that the gain outweighs the loss.
