Chapter 125 Li Wei
Fortunately, Yuan Ke was not afraid of taking risks by birth, so he immediately selected a thousand soldiers with good water skills from the army, and set off lightly and simply.

They were cautious along the way, diving during the day and going ashore at night, but they went smoothly and were not discovered by even a soldier of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

After a night and a day of trekking, they finally got behind the Eastern Wei army camp!

"Hulujin, I'll give you a big gift right now!" Yuan Ke stood on the riverside, staring at the Xianbei flag hanging high on the plain in front of him, secretly excited.

Hu Lujin led his men and horses from afar to attack the enemy's army, which was much smaller than himself, but they were unable to attack for a long time, so he couldn't help feeling anxious.The commander's thoughts spread like wildfire, and the entire camp was filled with an impetuous atmosphere.

At such a time, it was impossible for Hu Lujin to think that a Liang army had quietly come behind him!

According to the pre-discussed deployment, Yuan Ke divided the 1000-man army into three teams: 400 soldiers set fire to the barracks, burned food, grass and tents, and caused chaos; When the fire started, they rushed out to hack and kill; and the remaining 500 people, under the leadership of Yuan Ke, went straight to the Chinese army's tent to capture Hu Lujin alive!
As soon as Yuan Ke waved his hand, Wang Lin led a small group of soldiers to touch it quietly.They jumped out from behind the guards, covered their mouths with one hand and wiped their necks with the other. The two guards met Hades on the spot without uttering a cry.

The sentinel on the watchtower was sleepy, as if he heard something moving under his feet, and just about to poke his head out to look, but Wang Lin had already climbed up to the high platform, and broke his neck with a "click".

"It's really good work!" Yuan Ke praised.He guessed that the arson squad should be in place, so he drew an arrow, lit it with fire and shot it out in the air, which was the signal to launch an attack!
In an instant, flames burst out from the northeast corner of the camp where grain and grass were piled up, and Yuan Ke yelled: "Follow me and capture Hulujin alive!"

Yuan Ke strode forward, but Wang Lin ran faster than him. He ducked into a tent with his waist down, the shadow of a knife flew, and the screams rang out. Seven or eight soldiers died in their sleep. !
The soldiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty heard the shouts outside the camp, and there was a fire, and they didn't know what happened.The brave ones opened the curtain, and a few ferocious strong men rushed in. Without saying a word, they stabbed with a knife, blood and flesh flew all over the place, and howls filled the sky!
They didn't have any psychological preparation for this sneak attack, they turned around and ran with the instinct of survival, and all those who ran slowly were killed on the spot.

Yuan Ke was leading the soldiers to kill, when he suddenly heard Wang Lin's shout: "My lord, the reinforcements have arrived!"

He looked back and saw the direction of Yang Kan's garrison. A long string of torches came rushing in like a fire dragon spit beads, and they had already rushed into the gate of the camp!

Seeing the enemy attacking from both sides, Hu Lujin had to flee with hatred.On the rugged path, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a cold light on the edge of the dim crescent, as if a white elm had fallen, and judging from its position, it should be one of the general stars.

It seems to be reminding him that the time of death has come.

Hu Lujin's heart sank, he couldn't help trembling all over, and murmured: "Could it be... Could it be that this star... fell for me?"

At this moment, a cold light pierced through the darkness, pierced the back of his head, and shot out between the eyebrows.
-
General Hu Lujin died, and the army of the Eastern Wei Dynasty fled after being defeated, with his corpse buried for more than ten miles.

And this Guoyang victory, together with the Zhongli Battle and Chen Qingzhi's Northern Expedition, became one of the three most eye-catching battles in the Liang Kingdom.

The hanging hearts of the dignitaries of the Liang Kingdom finally let go, and the emperor Xiao Yan was also overjoyed, and went out of the capital to meet Yuan Ke in person, and held a banquet to celebrate his achievements.

Xiao Yan liked this emperor's grandson who was all-rounder in civil and military affairs very much, so he wanted to reward Yuzhou to him as well, and let him serve as the governor of Yuzhou and Nanyuzhou.

But to everyone's surprise, Yuan Ke refused to accept his resignation.Not only that, but he even suggested that he didn't even want to be the governor of Southern Yuzhou, which made Xiao Yan feel very strange.

"I have learned the lessons of the subjugation of the Song and Qi dynasties, and I think it is better for our own family to manage the land of the world. Why, you want to be lazy at a young age and refuse to share the worries of your grandfather?" Xiao Yanban asked jokingly.

Remembering Wang Wei's tireless exhortations before coming to see Xiao Yan, Yuan Ke hurriedly said: "I tell my grandfather, it's not that my grandson doesn't want to share the worries of the court, it's just that my son has been traveling around for many years and has no time to accompany his parents. Every time I think of this, my heart I feel so guilty. Therefore, my grandson wants to ask my grandfather for the position of governor of Xiangzhou, so that I can serve the court by my father's side!"

Since the founding of the country, Xiao Yan has always advocated the rule of filial piety, so he was very happy with Yuan Ke's answer and agreed without hesitation.

After coming out of the palace, Yuan Ke still felt a little guilty, so he asked Wang Wei, "If I propose to go to Xiangzhou, will my grandfather feel that I don't want to serve the court?"

"You don't have to worry about this, Your Majesty." Wang Wei said confidently, "Let me tell you, there are three advantages to doing this."

"Oh?" Yuan Ke said in surprise, "I would like to hear more about it."

Wang Wei said: "First, the king has made great achievements and is in the limelight. If he accepts the post of governor of Yuzhou again, he will be so powerful that he will definitely arouse the hatred of other princes and kings. Once he becomes their target, in the future Life is not easy!"

"So, I just declined the appointment to reassure other uncles and brothers." Yuan Ke smiled, "I understand this point, what about the second point?"

"The second point is to make the emperor feel at ease." Wang Wei said, "Your Majesty thinks that the Emperor is really so relieved about you serving as the governor of the two states? All the princes of Lu are trying their best to develop their wings, which makes him very worried. By doing this, the king also shows his attitude and lets the emperor understand that you are different from other people."

"Well..." Yuan Ke said, "I understand that I am different from others, maybe you will trust me more."

"The most important thing is the third point," Wang Wei said with a smile, "The reason why I suggested that the king chooses to go to Xiangzhou is of course because it is convenient for the king to reunite with the king and son of Xiangdong, but the more important reason is that Xiangzhou is in the On the edge of Jingzhou, they are closely connected, and they are lips and teeth. If there is any change in the future, the king can send troops with the king of Xiangdong, and great things will be accomplished!"

"An accident?" Yuan Ke wondered, "What will happen?"

Wang Wei sighed and said: "Let me say something damn, the emperor is already 83 years old, I'm afraid something will happen just around the corner..."
