Jinghong Tower

Generally speaking, compared to the Jin king, the power of the Kaizhou king was weak.

When the news of the death of Prince Kaizhou and his son came out, the morale of the army was in chaos.

It only took He Ran a month to wipe out King Kaizhou's influence. She then took advantage of the victory to attack and continue to regain the city of Yu.

I also want to thank Heimei. When he was in Yudi, he fought many battles and defeated the refugee armies from various places. Nowadays, it is rare to see the refugee armies. Therefore, He Ran only needs to gather the Kaizhou soldiers from all over the country. You can just fight with the army. You don't need to be distracted from dealing with the refugee army. You can fight all the way here as smoothly as you want.

During this period, Lu Zhen and Jiang Tao successively conquered several prefectures and counties, and at this time, He Ran finally received the long-awaited news.

Fu Yansheng rebelled!
There had been a gap between Fu Yansheng and King Jin for a long time. Ever since the two young masters left, King Jin had no trust in Fu Yansheng.

It's just that the one he has the most right now is Fu Yansheng, so the two of them still have to maintain a seemingly good guest-host relationship on the surface.

The trigger of the matter was a girl.

This girl's name is Cui Shuang. Like sisters He Qingkong, she is a concubine whose family was forced to send her as a gift to King Jin.

Cui Shuang has a strong personality. When she was abandoned by her family, she was already determined to die.

So she secretly hid a knife on her body.

The King of Jin only wanted well-educated ladies, so his subordinates did not dare to do anything wrong with the women they sent. They did not do such dirty things as stripping themselves naked for body examination. This also gave Cui Shuang the opportunity to hide the knife on his body.

The King of Jin has been trapped in Baoding Mansion for several months. He wanted to enter the capital, but he has been unable to do so. From the beginning of the army to the present, there have been countless casualties. Now both the King of Jin and the entire Jin army are exhausted. .

The former king of Jin had plenty of money, mines, and the support of major merchants in Jin.

But now, except for a few areas in Datong, the rest of the area has been owned by He Ran.

The mines that could make money for King Jin had already changed hands.

Even the wealth that King Jin himself had hidden in his private treasury could not be brought out (of course, these had long gone to He Ran, but King Jin himself didn’t know it.)
After the King of Jin left Jin, he gradually discovered that the merchants in Jin were really rich. He could get hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for just a few words in Jin, but after he came to Baoding, he could still get a few hundred thousand taels of silver at first. More than ten or two hundred thousand, but in the past two months, not even tens of thousands of taels have come.

King Jin regretted it. He regretted his negligence towards Jin land and allowed He Ran to take advantage of the loophole. But now it was too late. He couldn't go back. He could only rush forward bravely.

King Jin continued to feel depressed. He drank a few more drinks that day, and the people below sent Cui Shuang over.

King Jin was drunk and confused, looking at the beautiful and generous woman in front of him.

"What's your name? Which family do you belong to?"

The woman he wants can only be a lady.

Cui Shuang was neither humble nor arrogant: "I am Cui's seventh mother."

"Mr. Cui? That stingy Mr. Cui?" King Jin remembered. The head of the Cui family cried for ten thousand taels of silver. The majestic man actually cried like a woman.

It seemed that he was reluctant to part with the money, so he sent his daughter over.

King Jin smiled contemptuously and said to Cui Shuang: "Take off your clothes and crawl over here."

Hearing what King Jin said, the maids all retreated wisely.

In the room, there were only King Jin and Cui Shuang.

Whether it is the maids or the guards, no one is surprised by such a thing.

The reason why King Jin likes ladies is that he likes to see these dignified and virtuous ladies, who are even lower than prostitutes in front of him.

When the guards saw the maids coming out, they lowered their voices and flirted with them.

Women's screams and men's laughter came from the room, but so what, for them, this is the most normal. Until, they heard the man's scream!
Cui Shuang stabbed the knife into King Jin's stomach.

This was her first time holding a knife. She was inexperienced and panicked. The knife only penetrated an inch, which was not enough to kill Prince Jin, but it could make her die without a burial place.

The King of Jin was furious and ordered Cui Shuang Lingchi to be executed, and the Cui family was ransacked overnight.

All the men of the Cui family knelt down to beg for mercy and gave up their wealth in Baoding Mansion, thus saving their lives.

King Jin calmed down and thought again of Cui Shuang who dared to assassinate him. He asked Cui Shuang if he was dead. Only then did he know that Cui Shuang was not dead but had disappeared that day.

King Jin was furious, and upon investigation, it turned out that Fu Yansheng had ordered this to be done.

A chill ran down Prince Jin's spine. This was no longer a matter of Cui Shuang's humble fate. This was Fu Yansheng's disrespect for him!

King Jin remained calm, and gathered several of his confidants at the temporary palace that night, and set up a dragnet in the palace. Then, he sent someone to notify Fu Yansheng and come to the palace to discuss matters urgently.

King Jin made all arrangements, and this temporary palace was the burial place of Fu Yansheng.

But King Jin never expected that Fu Yansheng would not be fooled.

He didn't come!
Moreover, Fu Yansheng left the city overnight and mobilized the troops outside the city.

Fu Yansheng mobilized the Xinzhou Army that had been with him for many years. This army followed him from Xinzhou and went through many large and small battles. Today, there are only more than 50,000 people left.

Of course, he can mobilize not only that many troops, but these 50,000 people can follow him until death.

That night, the Xinzhou Army and the Jin Army fought outside the city. In the end, Fu Yansheng led them to flee north, with the Jin Army in hot pursuit. They encountered Lu Pingye's army on the way. The Jin Army did not dare to fight and returned home.

Fu Yansheng's army went all the way north.

When He Ran received the news, he picked up the map and looked at it, with a smile on his lips.

From the known escape route of Fu Yansheng, it can be seen that his destination is most likely Yuzhou.

Yuzhou now belongs to Datong Prefecture, and He Xiulong's army is active in the Datong area.

Even if Fu Yansheng didn't know the whereabouts of He Xiulong in detail, he knew the general location.

Fu Yansheng went for He Xiulong!
He Ran immediately ordered Fei Ge to pass the message. She told He Xiulong: If you can contain him, you can do it; if you can't, you can beat him severely.

However, He Ran has confidence in Fu Yansheng.

After all, Fu Yansheng's two sons are both in Jinyang.

Although Fu Yansheng would rebel sooner or later, He Ran was still very happy to hear the news that Fu Yansheng and King Jin had turned against each other.

There is also her contribution in this.

What He Ran didn't know was that Cui Shuang, who was ordered to be released by Fu Yansheng, was now in Lu Pingye's army.

Cui Shuang is different from sisters He Qingkong. She was guilty when she was released.

Yuan Gang wanted to take action, but he didn't want to cause trouble to Du Hui. Once the King of Jin discovered the clues, everyone who finally escaped from Jinghong Tower would be affected.

Therefore, Fu Yansheng put Cui Shuang on the front foot, and Yuan Gang arranged Cui Shuang on the back foot to become a washerwoman in the army.

In his rage, King Jin never thought that Cui Shuang was still in the military camp. (End of chapter)
