Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 684

"Brother Xin, how are things going?"

After Liu Xin returned to Yecheng, He Ergou and others immediately gathered at Liu Xin's mansion.

"Don't worry, my grandpa has promised me to help me secretly recruit [-] elite soldiers. I can act only in the spring of next year. When I become the king of Hebei, you are all founding fathers! Hahahaha!"

Liu Xin seemed to see himself sitting on the throne in the palace, with python robes on his body, and the civil and military ministers of the court saluted him.

"Come, come, I suggest everyone to have a drink in advance to celebrate the new brother becoming the King of Hebei!"

He Ergou held up a wine bottle and patted Liu Xin's flattery.

"Drink and drink!"

Everyone toasted to Liu Xin one after another, and Liu Xin did not refuse anyone who came, and he was drunk.

……

Seven months later, Liu Wei went out to hunt in the woods outside Yecheng on the first day of May as usual every year.

"Huang Xu, it will be the end of the month in a few days. You take your army out of the city and surround a place with a lot of prey. Tomorrow the king will go hunting in the city!"

"Here!"

Huang Xu nodded and was about to go out when he suddenly remembered something, turned around and said to Liu Wei: "My lord, many strong and strong men have entered the city these days. There are few people who come out, I am afraid that someone is trying to plot something wrong!"

"Probably not. Most of the people here are probably staying in the inn. It's about to start spring plowing. They must be here to buy things for spring plowing. I bought a lot of high-quality Shu from Xishu a few days ago. Li seeds, maybe those plantations don’t have many seeds stored, and they got the news of me buying seeds, so they sent someone to buy them!”

Liu Wei didn't doubt that there was him, but he still asked, "What kind of people are here?"

Huang Xu replied: "My lord, the people who came here looked like Lian Jiazi, who seemed to have served in the army, and they all came in groups of three or fifty people!"

"That's right, a group of 50 people, the people who came should be the guards in the plantation, so as not to be robbed when they go back!"

Liu Wei then asked again: "Do you know where they all live?"

"Well, at first I didn't think there was anything wrong, so I didn't inquire about it. I realized something was wrong today, so I came to report it. I'll inquire now!"

Huang Xu said with a little embarrassment.

"No need, the king will go out of the city to hunt in a few days, let's put these insignificant things aside!"

"Here!"

Huang Xu turned around and went to do hunting.

But after Huang Xu left, Liu Wei always felt that something was wrong, but after all, Yecheng was his base camp, and he was not worried that someone would dare to provoke trouble, but he just told the guards in the palace to be more careful, so he didn't think about it up...

"He Ergou, how are things going?"

Liu Xin called He Ergou into the mansion to discuss the matter of rebellion.

"Brother Xin, everyone has been arranged. The day after tomorrow, the guard of the west gate is also his own. He will never let soldiers from outside the city enter the city. As long as we break through the palace and get the soldiers, the army in Hebei will be ours. At that time, no matter how powerful Liu An is, he still can't make any waves!"

"What about the weapons and armor?"

"It's all ready, and it's all hidden in the basement in the backyard of my house. Your grandfather is really like this!" He Ergou gave a thumbs up and said: "The weapons are all refined steel knives, and the armor is all iron armor. You can't even shoot through it with an arrow, and with these equipments, the Tiger Benwei in the palace will not be our opponent!"

"Okay, take out your weapons and armor in the afternoon the day after tomorrow and distribute them. We will act in the evening. After this is done, you will be the prime minister! By the way, where is Feng Cai who led the troops here this time!"

"It's outside the door!"

"Let him in!"

"Here!"

He Ergou walked to the door and called Feng Cai in.

"General Feng, there must be nothing wrong with the day after tomorrow. As long as things are done, I will make you a great general!"

Feng Cai was overjoyed immediately, and knelt on the ground facing Liu Xin: "Then my subordinates will thank the third son first, um no, thank His Highness the King of Hebei!"

Known as the king of Hebei by Feng Cai, Liu Xin immediately became proud, patted Feng Cai on the shoulder and said, "What a boy, he can talk, he is indeed the one chosen by my grandfather!"

"Go down! Get ready!"

"Here!"

Both He Ergou and Feng Cai withdrew, just waiting for the time to come.

Two days later, all the soldiers and horses in the battalions in Ye City left the city, only the soldiers and horses guarding the city and a few soldiers and horses from the northern camp stayed in the city. Since it is an artillery soldier, it is not equipped with a long blade, and it only wears leather armor, so it does not have much combat effectiveness.

"He Ergou, how are you getting ready?"

Liu Xin looked at He Ergou nervously.

He Ergou was also very nervous, but he still said with excitement: "Brother Xin, everything is ready, five thousand well-armed elite soldiers are hiding in three courtyards, as long as you give an order, we will immediately Kill and run to the palace!"

"Don't worry, wait, wait until midnight! At that time, even the Huben Guards guarding the palace have already disarmed, and we will go in if we are not prepared!"

Liu Xin's heart was almost in his throat. This was no small matter. If he succeeded, he would ascend to the sky in one step and become the King of Hebei.

"Brother Xin, I don't know if I should say something or not?"

He Ergou looked at Liu Xin falteringly and said.

"Say something quickly, I don't have the time to talk nonsense with you!"

Liu Xin was already in a hurry, so he didn't have time to pay attention to He Ergou.

"Okay, then I'll tell you! If the palace is breached in a while, you know the old prince's temper, and he will definitely not be caught without a fight. If the old prince resists, brothers, if the attack is not serious, I'm afraid it will hurt you." Old prince!"

"If he doesn't know the current affairs, you don't have to save face for me, and the old guy has two brushes, and he is very skilled. Even if hundreds of people add up, he won't be his opponent. If he resists desperately, then Hack me to death!"

Liu Xin also showed great vigor and wanted to kill his father Liu Wei.

"Then I'm afraid you will bear the infamy of patricide?"

"You pig-headed, so what about killing your father? Cutting a person's path is like killing one's parents. If you kill him, just throw out another person to make up for the crime, and you will say you killed him by mistake!"

"Here!"

After finishing speaking, He Ergou and Liu Xin sat face to face, looking at each other silently.

At the third watch, Liu Xin stood up abruptly, drew his sword in his hand, went outside and shouted, "Do it!"

Feng Cai outside the house immediately put on his horse, went to the street and fired a rocket into the sky.

The [-] soldiers and horses who were ambushing in the three courtyards came to the street to gather.
