Liu Yiming said: "To capture the thief, first capture the king. We organize killers, sneak into the rebels, and wait for the opportunity to kill Pan Meichen. A snake can't do without a head. After killing Pan Meichen, we will organize the army to cover up the killing, and we will definitely defeat the rebels!" "
This is also no way. But it's so easy to assassinate Pan Meichen! First, he himself is very strong in martial arts, and there are a large number of guards around him, so he can't get close to him easily; second, how can he enter the rebel barracks
Liu Yiming seemed to have heard Li Hai's heartfelt thoughts, and continued, "According to my estimates, the rebels who succeeded in the sneak attack will definitely occupy our original barracks. Tomorrow, Pan Meichen will lead the army to attack the capital. We will go out to fight him, pretending to be defeated, throwing Give them a few captives. The captives pretend to submit to the rebels, so that the rebels can relax their vigilance, and then they can wait for an opportunity to assassinate Pan Meichen."
"The strategy seems to be flawless, but who will lead the troops to fight against Pan Meichen tomorrow?" Li Hai pinched his chin, as if talking to himself.
Pan Meichen is so powerful, who would dare to confront him head-on
Liu Yiming looked at Xu Jin: "Now only Mr. Xu can take on this job!"
So Li Hai asked Xu Jin to lead another two thousand troops out of the city tomorrow to fight Pan Meichen.
Even though Xu Jin was very unhappy and full of anger towards Liu Yiming, there was nothing he could do. He gritted his teeth, shouted "Long Live", and agreed.
Sure enough, as Liu Yiming expected, the rebels succeeded in their sneak attack and occupied the camp thirty miles away. Now there is no last barrier in the capital.
Pan Meichen's 100,000 troops marched to the camp and settled down. In order to get a glimpse of the reality of the capital, he led another 10,000 troops to the north city, just in time to face Xu Jin's 2,000 troops.
Ten thousand to two thousand, we can see that the momentum is compared with one in the sky and the other in the ground.
Pan Meichen rode on a tall horse, glanced at Xu Jinjun's disorganized army, and said with a contemptuous smile: "Xu Jin, I wonder if he agreed to the conditions I made for Li Hai?"
Xu Jin sternly shouted: "The emperor's name is also what you want to call it?"
Pan Meichen snorted and laughed twice: "I just want to scream now! Li Hai had the queen mother by his side to protect him and help him deal with the country's military and economic affairs. Now he offends the queen mother and expels his relatives. At the beginning, the Bai family and the Lin family really had no conscience for his contribution to the country! It seems that such a heartless emperor, I don't consider him an emperor anymore. Come on, Li Hai promises to agree to the conditions I said? No, I will Attack the city now!"
Xu Jin pulled out the treasured sword: "If you want to attack the city, first ask me about the sword in my hand!" With a cry, he waved his hand in the air and led two thousand soldiers to charge over.
But Pan Meichen didn't want to fight Xu Jin at all, "Archers prepare!"
More than a thousand archers ran in front of Pan Meichen, bent their bows and set their arrows.
Xu Jin suddenly saw the opponent's archer coming out, and immediately grabbed the galloping horse, and shouted to the soldiers charging behind him:
"stop!"
But the people in front stopped, but the people behind didn't know the situation and kept running forward, so they trampled on each other, and countless people died.
Pan Meichen grinned twice, and shook his head: "You want to defeat me just because Xu Jin is the number one in martial arts? Li Hai, Li Hai, you think me too low!" He gently raised the palm of his right hand, "Fire the arrow!" !"
Immediately, the arrows flew like locusts, densely packed, shooting Xu Jin's army to death and wounding. Xu Jin was also shot in the arm, and the big knife in his hand fell off the horse.
"withdraw!"
As soon as Xu Jin gave an order, the army frantically fled towards the north gate of the city, scrambling to escape into the city.
"General, do you want to take this opportunity to rush into the city?" A military academy asked Pan Meichen.
Pan Meichen saw that Xu Jin's army of more than two thousand monarchs had half of the casualties and was vulnerable, so she felt very contemptuous of Li Hai in her heart.
"What's the rush! I want to see Li Hai, what else can I do to resist my hundred thousand northern wolves and tigers. I want to surround the capital with water, and let Li Hai have nothing to eat or drink. Li Hai naturally obediently knelt down and offered it to me with the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom."
The military academy couldn't help but feel a little worried: "General, if the delay continues, and the Qin King's divisions from all directions rush to rescue Li Hai, what should we do?"
Pan Meichen snorted coldly: "More than half of the feudal governors in the Dajing Kingdom are from the Queen Mother, that is, from relatives; the rest are unwilling to work for Li Hai, because Li Hai's large-scale construction and consumption of people's resources has already It is unpopular, people betray their relatives, even if there are those who come to the king, they are just mobs, not worth mentioning."
The military academy thought for a while and then said: "According to reliable sources, there is an army of 100,000 people stationed in the northwest of the capital. The commander is Song Qiang, and Song Qiang is at the mercy of Chang'an..."
"Rong Changan?" The smile on Pan Meichen's face disappeared. He was on guard in the north, and he had always heard about Rong Changan, saying that she was victorious and invincible. The last time they fought against Prince Jing, they won a victory. Looking at the entire Dajing Kingdom, she is the only opponent of Pan Meichen.
However, when Pan Meichen thought of Rong Changan as a woman, she couldn't help but despise her, and said with a smile, "It's nothing more than a woman with long hair and short knowledge, so it can be ignored!"
He said this in his mouth, but he was planning in his heart, and asked Jianxi to check the military status of the Northwest Camp.
Pan Meichen sent troops to clean up the battlefield, captured more than 500 prisoners, and locked them in the barracks together.
Li Hai's imperial driver is just outside the Meridian Gate of the palace. A fast horse came galloping, and the Imperial Forest Army immediately jumped down and knelt down in front of Li Hai.
"Your Majesty, General Xu has been defeated and more than five hundred soldiers have been captured!"
Pretend to fail, this was planned by Li Hai and others, but what I didn't expect was that more than 2,000 people were captured, and more than 500 were captured! From this we can see how the combat effectiveness of the two armies is.
A heavy shadow enveloped Li Hai's brows and eyes again.
Next, if those assassins pretending to be captives can succeed, then Dajing Kingdom and Li Hai themselves will be safe; if the assassins fail to assassinate, they will get Pan Meichen's crazy revenge. He would end up being burned like the Lishan Palace in the Qin Dynasty, but Li Hai would have no bones left!
It has to be said that the method proposed by Liu Yiming is actually dangerous for soldiers.
…
Thirty miles away from the capital, Pan Meichen camped. At this time, the lights were brightly lit, shining like daylight, and the soldiers killed the horses to celebrate today's defeat of Li Hai's army.
"General, the emperor's army is too vulnerable! Tomorrow, if you give me 10,000 troops, I will conquer the entire capital and bring you Li Hai's dragon chair!"
"Tomorrow, we will detour through Nanxun Gate, East Gate, and West Gate to surround the entire capital. If Li Hai sees that he is surrounded by enemies, he will be scared to death, and he will come out of the city obediently, hand over the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, and give you the entire Dajing Kingdom !"
Pan Meichen sat on the grand teacher's chair with her body tilted, holding a wine bowl in one hand, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was triumphant and ferocious.
"Originally, I only wanted the area north of Waqiaoguan, but Li Hai didn't allow it, and even sent troops to fight with me! It's really beyond my control. Now my appetite is not just north of Waqiaoguan, I want the whole Dajing country!"
After finishing speaking, he finished a bowl of wine, raised his head and laughed, and the laughter echoed throughout the barracks for a long time.
In a certain corner deep in the barracks, in a wooden room, five hundred soldiers who were captured today were locked. Many of them had frustrated and painful expressions, but there were more than a dozen of them with different expressions from others. What was shown on their faces was more tense and stern.
The night was getting darker, and after a grand celebration, the entire barracks quietly fell asleep. There are only soldiers who occasionally pass by on patrol, and there are soldiers on the Yunlou who observe the surrounding movement.
After waiting for another hour, even the soldiers who passed the night watch in this simple cell did not come. In the prison cell, a mustache with vigilant eyes opened his eyes, and discussed with the others: "Now, while the night patrol soldiers pass by, let's go out quickly, find the commander's tent, and kill and behead Pan Meichen."
A bearded man said: "When I was escorted here today, I had already secretly recorded the location of the commander's camp."
Remembering the location of the commander's camp can reduce the search time and reduce the chance of colliding with the opponent's night watch army.
The character mustache said to a young soldier with an immature face: "Wait a while, we took Pan Meichen's head, and you set it on fire; when the capital saw the fire, they would send troops to cover it up. The rebel army has no commander, and the snake has no head." Otherwise, there must be chaos, and this is a good opportunity for us to repel the rebels."
After assigning the task, twelve soldiers—they were actually selected by Li Hai's side, the smart and capable imperial guards with superb martial arts—broke down the wooden railing of the simple cell.
The character Hu told the other prisoners: "Wait until we set the fire on, and then you come out. Don't make any noise before setting the fire."
After finishing the entrustment, he and the other imperial guards followed closely behind the bearded man, and quietly approached the commander's tent.
There are eight soldiers guarding the tent outside, and there are still soldiers walking around the night watch around the tent.
"This is Pan Meichen's camp. It's not easy to kill him."
