Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 246, Li Hongcheng, are you trying to play a trick on me? Dingzhou City is gone, right?
The night gradually darkened, and the Ningzhou city was peaceful and tranquil.

After all, the siege had just begun today, and everyone felt that this would be a protracted battle.

If you don't get enough rest, you might be shot to death by arrows if you are not careful in future sieges.

The Wubei Palace was brightly lit with birds singing and flowers dancing.

All the major generals in Jiangbei and some aristocratic families are listed here.

Li Hongcheng was drunk and looked at the people drinking and chatting below, feeling so happy.

Based on the intensity of today's battle, it would probably take Liu Hong ten days or half a month to capture Ningzhou City.

By this time, Emperor Qing's imperial edict had already arrived, clearing himself of the accusation of rebellion.

By then, let’s see what method Liu Hong, the Grand Commander of Andong, can use to attack me.

Thinking of this, Li Hongcheng took a big gulp of the wine, and the joy in his heart almost soared to the sky.

He has an independent fiefdom, and now he is on good terms with all the major forces in Jiangbei Road. After repelling Liu Hong's attack, his prestige will rise to a higher level.

By that time, he, King Wubei, would be the actual controller of Jiangbei Road.

Li Hongcheng held a banquet today because he felt that what Lu Rong and others said made sense.
Since he, the King of Wubei, is not a traitor, he must make a sufficient gesture to appease the hearts of his subordinates.

After all, which rebel would have the leisure to hold a banquet after being defeated?

The generals below drank until their faces turned red and they were having a great time. The banquet of the royal family was not something they could attend at any time, as it would give them something to brag about in the future.

"Hahaha... The prince's banquet is naturally rare in the world. It's just that those unlucky guys in Yingzhou don't have this blessing."

Lu Rong spoke slowly, his face full of gloating.

Li Hongcheng's smile suddenly faded.

"I hope nothing unexpected happens. Grand Admiral Anton really thinks that if he arranges a few people, I won't be able to find out."

A smile slowly appeared on the face of the general below, and his smile was full of sarcasm.

Why would 30,000 people attack Ningzhou City with 50,000 people? Even a fool would know that Liu Hong must have a trick up his sleeve.

After screening by the Western Factory, Yingzhou prefect Chen Hong and his troops were quickly cleared out.

Who told them to be the most enthusiastic when they went to Danzhou for a banquet?

Li Hongcheng played with the wine glass in his hand.

With every gesture, it seemed as if he had the flag to decide the victory thousands of miles away.

"Everyone, let's collect the bodies of the Grand Commander's men later. Who knows, we might even see Grand Commander Anton."

"Yes, yes!"

The generals clapped their hands and laughed wantonly.

Who told Liu Hong to destroy the rules that have been established on Jiangbei Road for decades?

Even if I become a commander without troops, I deserve it!

He Ming, the governor of Ningzhou, came to the palace and paid homage.

"Your Majesty! We are ready. All that's left is to close the door and beat the dog."

Li Hongcheng laughed and patted He Ming's shoulder affectionately.

"I can rest assured that you will do the work!"

How can I not be assured? At the beginning, the Minister of War had no fault, and was directly dismissed by Emperor Qing and appointed as the Minister of War.

After returning to his hometown in Ningzhou, he was angered to death within a year.

After He Ming, the Fengzheng of Taichang Temple, returned home to pay his respects to the deceased, he was appointed as the magistrate of Ningzhou, a fifth-rank official, under the arrangement of the Ministry of Personnel.

Although his rank did not change, he was promoted from a sinecure to a prefect, which was already a promotion.

He Ming laughed and nodded, his smile was particularly playful and closed.

The middle of the night is when people are most tired.

The officers and soldiers of the Jiaozhou Navy, as well as the Grand Commander's guards, left the barracks sleepily and quietly came to the city of Ningzhou.

"Brother, do you think this is reliable?"

Er Gouzi was feeling uneasy, as he thought Liu Hong had some very clever tricks.

It turned out that they had deployed manpower in the city to attack Ningzhou City at night.

This is such an old-fashioned method. If we are not careful and Li Hongcheng takes advantage of the situation, we will end up leaving behind thousands of corpses.

Liu Hong patted Ergouzi on the shoulder and glanced at the guy.

"Don't worry. With the joint plan of Zhang Liang and I, there is basically no chance of failure as long as you don't tell anyone."

After a while, the gate of Ningzhou slowly opened. Chang Kun had accepted his fate and waved his hand, asking the navy officers and soldiers to enter the city.

The surrounding Yingzhou troops voluntarily gave up the city fortress and let the Jiaozhou navy officers and soldiers take over.

Everything went smoothly, so smoothly that Chang Kun and Er Gouzi were a little surprised.

Are the troops in other places fools? Once they occupy all the commanding heights.

Even if someone wants to close the door and beat the dog, it is probably of no avail.

We can only hand over Ningzhou City to others.

"Yingzhou Governor Chen Hong pays homage to Andong Grand Commander!"

The young man, with a scholarly air, knelt down with his troops.

"Chen Hong, you have done a great job. It has not been in vain that I have taken care of you all these years."

Liu Hong casually helped Chen Hong up, and it seemed that they had a very close relationship.

How could it not be deep? Liu Hong helped Chen Hong resolve the genocide.

Even if what Liu Hong did at the beginning was just to win over Hong Zhu in the palace.

However, as his official position was promoted and his influence grew, he also promoted Hong Zhu's brother Chen Hong.

Liu Hong glanced around and looked at the large number of officials in the corner, with a sarcastic smile on his face.

A large number of officers and soldiers in the corner had their hands and feet tied up, with cloth stuffed in their mouths, unable to escape.

There are probably several thousand of these people, far more than Chen Hong's one thousand Yingzhou soldiers. It seems that these are the people Li Hongcheng is preparing to use to attack the enemy.

After Chen Hong jumped out and was killed.

Ningzhou City fell into the hands of Li Hongcheng again. He led the personal soldiers of various generals and defeated the naval officers and soldiers who had not yet formed into battle formation.

By then, Liu Hong would have lost a great general, and his fame would have been taken away by Li Hongcheng, and he would have become a stepping stone for Li Hongcheng.

It’s a pity that Li Hongcheng couldn’t get out of Wubei Palace, along with all the generals and officials of Jiangbei Road.

"Stupid, play Mission Impossible with me!"

Liu Hong stretched his body, and strode towards the Wubei Palace with the Grand Commander's Guard.

If Li Hongcheng refused to come out, Liu Hong would have no way to deal with him and could only rely on human lives.

But Li Hongcheng has always been dissatisfied with Liu Hong because Fan Ruoruo was robbed.

Always wanting to prove that he is better than Liu Hong.

Tonight I accepted Lu Rong's suggestion and played the game against him.

He deliberately held a grand banquet in the palace and invited all the major generals from Wubei Road to make Liu Hong feel that everything was under his control.

But I'm sorry, not only the Yingzhou officers and soldiers who are supposed to be on duty for the city defense today are Liu Hong's men.

Even He Ming, the magistrate of Ningzhou, was Liu Hong's man.

Ergouzi is still a little confused now, as if he is dreaming.

Is it so easy to capture Ningzhou City?
Isn't it too fast? Shouldn't we go through a bloody battle?

Zhang Liang just smiled quietly behind Liu Hong without saying a word, as if everything was under his control.

As time went by, Zhang Liang, the strategist who was in charge of planning the world, became more and more useful.

Outside the Wubei Palace, He Ming led the Ningzhou army to blockade the palace tightly and mobilized bows and crossbows.

If any general's guards rushed out of the palace, they would be shot on the spot.

"Grand Governor!"

When He Ming saw Liu Hong, he immediately bowed.

Liu Hong saw He Ming and laughed.

"He Zhizhou, you have done a good job. After this matter is over, I will report it to the court and ask for your credit."

He Ming smiled and said nothing.

The previous Minister of War, Chu Kuang, was in despair and followed Liu Hong's suggestion to relax in Qianlong Bay.

Finally I settled down there.

If the letter sent back was not in He Kuang's handwriting, the code word would also match.

He Ming felt that his father was imprisoned by Liu Hong.
