Chapter 82 Close the door to catch the thief
Besides, Xie Ruitang and Cheng Hanbai, with more than 100 men, quickly rushed to the nearest Zuojun camp, showed the tiger talisman to the Zuojun general Jiang Haitao, and mobilized [-] troops to meet the enemy in the direction of Datong towards Kyoto.

Jiang Haitao did not dare to disobey the order, so he ordered 5 horses and sent a deputy general, Liu Cheng, to accompany King Duan to encircle and suppress the [-] Tatar cavalry entering the country.

At this time, Ling Xue received the latest news and immediately presented it to King Duan. King Duan smiled and said: "Feng Mingze has already set up the formation for us. Governor Jiang, we just need to tie our pockets! Han Bai, over there at the Governor's Mansion Have all the artillery been deployed?”

Cheng Hanbai said: "The ones from Xicang are on their way, but the number of fire thunders is not enough, and they have to be transferred to Dongcang."

Ling Xue suddenly whispered next to King Duan. King Duan also remembered that there was another problem, nodded and smiled: "Okay! You have someone send the inventory to the ambush point!"

They said goodbye to Governor Jiang, and marched in the direction of the Tatar soldiers with the [-] troops and horses they had transferred.

It turned out that since he knew that Prince Qing was colluding with the Tatars, Xie Ruitang asked someone to investigate the general soldier of the border town who was close to Prince Qing.

Sure enough, it was discovered that Liu Xilie, the commander-in-chief of Datong, had been hooking up with Prince Qing for a long time. This year, Prince Qing's second son Xie Zhengyue also married Liu Xilie's daughter Liu Yulan.The two became in-laws again.

Therefore, Xie Ruitang sent Ling Feng and Ling Yun to go to Xuanfu Pass and Taiyuan Pass respectively, and agreed with them that if there was any disagreement at Datong Pass, these two passes would send troops from the left and right to Datong to outflank the enemy's rear and burn them. Food and grass disturbed the morale of the army and caught him off guard.

After Ling Feng and Ling Yun received two promises, they met in Datong and privately found the deputy general Lei Ming and the general Li Yang. They said they were powerful and informed King Duan and the emperor that they had learned that Liu Xilie had different intentions and were waiting for the opportunity to arrest him. in force.

Lieutenant General Lei Ming went from disbelief to anger and decided to obey King Duan's order. Once Liu Xilie rebelled, he and his accomplices would be beheaded immediately.Li Yang responded similarly.The four people secretly agreed on a beheading plan: attack them separately and close the door to catch the thief!

That is to say, let some Tatar soldiers enter the pass, then use the pass to cut them off from the troops behind them, and then encircle and destroy these isolated troops.

Finally, Xuanfu Pass also arranged for deputy general Feng Mingze to take people to the only passage from Datong to Beijing to set up a firearm array and pack their pockets, while King Duan led his troops to attack from the front.

These were the worst plans that King Duan had made at that time.

Prince Qing and Liu Xilie, their plans with Prince Xian were not like this!
King Xian wanted to be the prince and the emperor.

Prince Qing wanted his territory to be independent, even if it temporarily became a vassal state of the Celestial Empire. This required recognition from his brother, the emperor, and his brother who inherited the unification could not allow him to split the territory of the Celestial Empire.

However, King Xian promised him that if he was allowed to become a great treasure, he would let his uncle fulfill his wish.Therefore, Prince Qing also wanted to present the king as emperor.

Liu Xilie is an old town general. He has naturally become a master after sitting in one position for a long time.He had three sons. The eldest son stayed in the capital, and the second and third sons followed him as lieutenants in Datong Pass.The Liu family, father and son, had been fighting against the Tatars all year round, and gradually became involved with the enemy generals in private, benefiting from each other and deceiving the superiors and concealing the truth.

If the enemy camp is short of food and grass, they will take advantage of the dark night and high winds to sneak some out of the customs to relieve the Tatar camp's urgent needs.

If they needed military exploits to seek rewards from the imperial court, or if they needed the imperial court to allocate more military supplies, the Tatars would also pretend to attack, or deliberately abandon their helmets and armor, so that Datong Pass would lie about their military situation.After going back and forth, Liu Xilie, Liu Chengwen, and Liu Chengwu thought that the Tatars and they had become their own people, and the Tatars had requests from them, so they naturally obeyed their words.

So Liu Xilie proposed a plan to Prince Qing: let the Tatars invade the pass, pretending to attack Kyoto, and cooperate with Concubine Ji inside and outside. When the military situation was urgent, Datong Pass sent troops to remonstrate, forcing the emperor to give up his throne to the fourth son of the emperor Xie Ruitu.After the emperor abdicated, the Tatars retreated outside the customs.

"What a plan!" Prince Qing said with a smile: "With the old general's resourcefulness and decisive command, the old general can go to my king's Xia Kingdom and become a general who decides the country!"

Liu Xilie said proudly: "My general has supported the Tatars for many years. They have already obeyed my advice. This is not the first time that they have done something like this. Prince Qing can feel free to use this Tatar general."

This Tatar general's name is Mahamul, and he is the Tatar who was once rescued by Cheng Haitang's master and apprentice.He wholeheartedly agreed to Liu Xiyeol's request because he had his own plan: He only needed to take advantage of the opportunity to send [-] troops to directly attack Kyoto!
The Beijing army was performing martial arts, and King Xian wanted to kill the prince, but Mahamur wanted to kill their emperor. While the emperor was gone, the army invaded the capital. Wouldn't the Celestial Empire fall into the sky?
The racecourse and martial arts arena have been properties operated by Prince De's palace for many years. Prince Xian had to borrow both the arena and the sword!

So, he dragged Prince De into the water again, because he knew that Prince De hated his adoptive mother Ji Guifei as much as he did.

Concubine Ji may never know that when she was five years old, her three-year-old son Xie Ruiqiao, who killed his mother and took away her son, received a letter from his biological mother, Concubine Li, from a palace maid. Learn the true cause of his biological mother's death.

Xie Ruiqiao has been determined to avenge his biological mother since he was a child. He wants to use Concubine Ji to ascend the throne of God and then kill her to let her know what it feels like to shoot herself in the foot!
The prince is mediocre, and even if he ascends the throne, he will not have the strength to fight against the Ji Party. Perhaps the fourth prince can use his status as an adopted son to get rid of the Enchantress and eradicate the Ji Party, as he said.Prince De thought simply.

A group of people with different agendas teamed up to do something terrible.

Xie Ruitang used himself to visit Jiuzhen and planted some nails.After returning to Kyoto, he coaxed his father into signing the "Nine Towns Offensive and Defensive Alliance Agreement", and then used the convenience of implementing the agreement to make some personnel transfers between the various levels.

Lei Ming and Li Yang were the generals who went to Taiyuan Pass in that batch of transfers.

If Haitang hadn't recognized the Tatar, and Ling Yun had heard during his separate interrogation by the Tatars that he and Prince Qing were not of the same mind, Xie Ruitang would not have guessed that the Tatars would have taken advantage of their scheme and attacked Kyoto.

You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder!Everything was just right.

Just like the pocket firearm array, from three-eyed blunderbuss to multi-shot blunderbuss, from thunder blunderbuss to bird blunderbuss, from far to near, combined with the pre-embedded fire mines and poison gas mines, it was enough to wipe out the entire army of [-] Tatar soldiers.

And Mahamur was shot through the heart by Ling Xue in the martial arts competition, and no one would save him anymore.He would not even know that both ends fell through.

On September [-]th, Xie Ruitang and Cheng Hanbai returned home with a great victory.
