Naturally, the defenders in the city of Wuping Mansion had discovered the abnormal situation outside the city early on. Before the soldiers and horses outside the city approached, they had already closed the city gate, and quickly sent people to inform the guards of other gates.

The soldiers guarding Wuping Mansion are all Hexi Imperial Guards. Feng Yuanpo and Hexi officials went to Tiangong to participate in the birthday ceremony. Of course, the city defense of Wuping Mansion will not take it lightly.

The Hexi Imperial Guards under Feng Polu's command far surpassed the various provinces in the pass. Because they were stationed on the border, the strength of the Hexi Imperial Guards exceeded the maximum establishment of 5000 and reached nearly 8000.

The Hexi Imperial Guards were not far from Wuping Mansion, and there were always more than [-] troops in the city, guarding the city gates and maintaining order in the city.

Feng Yuanpo was careful in doing things. Before the birthday ceremony, he was worried that Xuanyuanshao's royal guards would cause trouble, so he dispatched Feng Polu to lead thousands of Hexi guards to station near Tiangong.

The Royal Guards are stationed in the east of Tiangong, while the Hexi Imperial Guards are stationed in the west. If there is a slight change in the Royal Guards, the Hexi Imperial Guards will be able to know. It is also an elite and brave division, and its strength far exceeds that of the Royal Guards. Feng Yuan laid this pawn in order to hold back the Royal Guards.

There are [-] soldiers and horses in Wuping mansion, guarding the gates of each city. A large number of soldiers and horses came from the west. The defenders of the west gate are naturally waiting. Feng Yuanpo has issued a military order that no soldiers or horses can enter or leave during the festival. In Wuping Fucheng, the imperial guards regarded Feng Yuanpo's military order as a golden rule, and naturally they would not disobey it.

The flags were flying, and the morale was strong, but the face of Qianhu Wei'an in Yunzhou was not good-looking. When he approached Wuping Fucheng, he saw the flags flying on the top of the city, which were the same as before, and his face softened a little.

"Lord Qianhu, it seems that there is nothing wrong with Wuping Mansion." A hundred households beside him seemed relieved.

Wei An was noncommittal, but at this moment he also heard the sound of horseshoes from the south. Holding the whip in his hand, he turned his head and looked over, and saw a group of cavalry galloping towards him. It seemed that there were five or six hundred of them. The sound was like thunder, booming.

"It's the imperial guards controlled by Feng." The hundred households immediately said, the cavalry rushed over, and the word "Feng" was written on the flying flag. Just looking at the armor and equipment of the group of people, one knew that it was the Hexi forbidden army. Guards.

Wei An turned back and said, "Send the order to rest where you are. If you don't have the order from the general, don't act rashly." Pulling the horse's reins, he turned around and turned south, but there was no flying horse to meet him.

The cavalry of the Hexi Imperial Guard arrived as soon as they said it, and their speed slowed down. Wei An was calm and relaxed. When he saw the team approaching, he shook the reins lightly and walked forward for a certain distance.

The Hexi Imperial Guards rode in the lead, tall and tall, holding a spear in hand, with stern eyes. It was the Hexi Imperial Guards who commanded Feng Polu.

"Feng Tongzhi, how is the situation in Tiangong?" Wei An asked loudly, "Where is Feng Du now?" His eyes were showing anxiety at this moment, and the corners of his eyes were twitching.

Feng Polu didn't answer but asked instead: "Wei Qianhu, why did you lead the troops here? Governor Feng ordered you to lead the troops to capture Fanmen County and guard against the Liaodong Army's invasion of Hexi. Why didn't you obey the military order?"

"Chi Bei in Fanmen City has disappeared." Wei An said angrily, "They didn't want to occupy Fanmen County, and now Fanmen County should have been taken by Tan Qianhu."

"Oh?" Feng Polu asked, "Could it be that Chi Bei retreated by himself?"

"Retreat?" Wei An sneered and said, "They did not retreat but advanced. They have already rushed past Fanmen Mountain and headed straight for Wuping Mansion...Feng Tongzhi, is there any news about Chibei from your side?"

Feng Polu frowned and said, "I don't understand what you mean."

"The major general dispatched Chi Bei's generals according to the plan. He wanted to ambush them on the way and capture them in one fell swoop, and then took advantage of Chi Bei's leaderless dragons to take down Fanmen City in one fell swoop...!"

"I know about this." Feng Polu said, "Where is the young general now?"

Wei An wryly smiled and said: "I'm afraid the Major General fell into their tricks, Chibei's thousand households deliberately followed the Major General out of the city, and there must be marks along the way... The barbarian ambush that was in ambush could have killed Chibei's group of people. Grab it, but... I never expected that the eight hundred Chibei who were guarding Fanmen City almost came out in force...!"

Feng Polu frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

"The major general failed to catch the leader of Chibei, but instead fell into Chibei's hands." Wei An pressed the saber with one hand, and the back of his hand was full of veins, "Tan Lu didn't expect that Chibei would go all out, and he was still preparing to take the opportunity Attacked Fanmen City, but Chi Bei took advantage of the loophole, rushed out of the main road, and killed Fanmen Mountain... Hundreds of Chi Bei, Feng Tongzhi can predict, how can he stop it with only a thousand barbarian cavalry? "

Feng Polu frowned even more.

Liaodong iron cavalry was originally the strongest cavalry army in the Great Qin Dynasty, and Chi Bei was the elite among the elite. Naturally, thousands of barbarian cavalry could not be opponents of hundreds of Chi Bei.

"How did you know that the major general fell into their hands?"

"Thousands of barbarian cavalry were almost wiped out, and only a few dozen escaped." Wei An said this, with lingering fears in his heart, "They saw Chi Bei chasing and killing the major general. After that, the major general disappeared. It must be It fell into the hands of Chi Bei."

"Where is Chi Bei now?"

Wei An shook his head and said: "I led my troops to go to Fanmen, but on the way I met barbarian soldiers who escaped, and learned that Chi Bei had come to Wuping Mansion, so I had to turn around and chase after that Chi Bei. "

"You have nearly ten thousand horses here, but you haven't found any trace of Chi Bei?" Feng Polu wondered.

Wei An said: "They disappeared suddenly like ghosts. From yesterday to now, we didn't rest for a moment, but we didn't find any trace of Chi Bei at all. I wondered in my heart whether Chi Bei might have come to Wuping Mansion, so I went after them. Arrived here." He glanced at the city of Wuping Mansion, "It seems that Chi Bei has not come to Wuping Mansion either."

Feng Polu sneered: "Since they are here, if they want to get away, it will be as difficult as climbing the sky."

"Feng Tongzhi, how is the situation in Tiangong?" Wei An approached and asked in a deep voice, "Is the plan completed?"

Both Feng Polu and Wei An are Feng Yuanpo's confidantes. In this birthday ceremony, killing Chi Liandian and even Xuanyuan Shao is the ultimate goal. Both Feng Polu and Wei An were involved in the plan where the emperor made a tool and coerced the emperor to order the princes. At this time, Wei An was most concerned about whether Feng Yuanpo's plan was perfectly realized.

Feng Polu smiled faintly: "What does Wei Qianhu think?"

Wei An frowned and said, "I was just worried, that's why I asked."

"Oh?" Feng Polu said: "Wei Qianhu is worried? What are you worried about? Do you think Feng Du will miss it?"

Wei An didn't say much, took out something from his bosom, threw it to Feng Polu, and said: "Feng Tongzhi, take a look, what is written on it is true or false."

Feng Polu took it with his hand, but it was a piece of yellow silk. When he opened it, it was an imperial decree. He frowned, glanced at it, and his expression changed slightly. A few people, they said they were the servants sent by the emperor, it just so happened that they were going to convey the imperial edict to me...!"

Feng Polu didn't speak, but threw the yellow silk back to Wei'an, clenched the spear tightly in his hand, and asked: "Wei Qianhu thinks the imperial decree is true or not?"

"You mean Feng Du has been killed?"

Wei An laughed and said: "The imperial decree not only said that Feng Du was killed, and the barbarians had surrendered to the emperor, but also that you, Feng Tongzhi, had sworn allegiance to the emperor...!"

Feng Polu's eyes showed a cold light, he snorted coldly, and said: "Wei Qianhu believes what is said above?"

"Of course I don't believe it." Wei An said with a smile: "Even if everyone in the world betrayed Feng Du, you, Feng Tongzhi, wouldn't do it either. , it can be concluded that this imperial decree must be nonsense."

Feng Polu slightly nodded, nodded and said, "I'm afraid that someone wanted to sow discord, and that's why he issued such an edict."

Wei An smiled lightly, then frowned and said: "Feng Tongzhi, even though it is so, who issued this decree? There is a jade seal on it... If Feng Du controls the situation in Tiangong, how can such a The decree was issued from the Heavenly Palace." He raised his head and looked to the south, "Could it be that there is something wrong with the Heavenly Palace?"

"Oh?" Feng Polu frowned and said, "Wei Qianhu thinks that Feng Du's plan has changed?"

Wei An shook his head and said: "The situation is not clear, so I can't say for sure, but this decree is very strange... Could it be that the control came from Tiangong, did not find any signs? Did Xuanyuanshao's guards not move?"

Feng Polu shook his head and said: "I have been sending people to watch, but I haven't seen the guards mobilizing troops... That's right, Wei Qianhu, the decree says that Feng Du was punished for rebellion, and you are ordered to lead the people to be loyal to the court. And immediately seal the Marquis, if it is true, how do you choose?"

"Choose?" Wei An said with a smile: "I have been following Feng Du for many years, and from the very beginning, there is nowhere to go. If Feng Du succeeds in his great career, we will naturally go straight up. It's just an expedient measure. If this decree is true, Feng Du's affairs are defeated, and the court controls the situation, then we will be loyal and entrusted, and it won't be long before the court will definitely settle accounts after the fall. At that time, none of us will survive...Knowing so , if we still believe it, then wouldn’t it be foolish...!"

Feng Polu nodded slightly, and Wei An had already said: "Feng Tongzhi, the situation is unknown, I think we can send people to guard Wuping Mansion first, and then join forces, rush to Tiangong as soon as possible, and see how the situation is...! "

"Go to Tiangong?" Feng Polu frowned.

Wei An sneered and said: "Chibei's sudden cavalry entered Hexi territory without an order, which is tantamount to rebellion. We just used this excuse to lead troops to Tiangong, saying that we wanted to chase Chibei. Isn't there no evidence for Chilian's rebellion? , isn't this the best evidence now?" He clenched his fists and said, "When we get to Tiangong, ask Feng Du to see him, as long as Feng Du comes out, we will know what the plan is."

Feng Polu said solemnly: "Wei Qianhu, have you made up your mind that you will never be loyal to the imperial court and will follow Feng Du in life and death?"

"That's natural." Wei An did not hesitate, "Isn't Feng Tongzhi thinking this way?"

"Since that's the case...!" Feng Polu clenched his spear tightly, his eyes bursting with cold light, "Then you will go to hell with Feng Yuanpo!" In the voice, the spear was already lifted like a poisonous snake, and went straight to Wei. An stabbed in the heart.
