Chapter 1065: Success in the East and Success in the West (Fifty-Eight)

Yang Shu smiled as he stepped into the palace gate. Beside him, Yi Bin, who was dressed as his personal soldier, also had a smile on his face. On the other side of Yang Shu, Zhou Changshou held a steel knife in his hand and chopped down a seriously injured guard who had climbed up from the ground with a murderous knife. Turning back, he sternly said to the soldiers behind him: "Immediately occupy all the exits from the palace and find the king."

This is the real plan instigated by the Supervisory Council of the Great Han Kingdom. The Great Han Kingdom needs Zhao as a buffer, but it does not need a unified and cohesive Zhao. A divided Zhao is what they need.

Zhao Feng and others were originally planning to deal with Zhao Qi, but they did not take action because of their lack of strength. When Zhou Changshou returned and threw out Yang Shu and Meng Guang as two chess pieces, Zhao Feng finally made up his mind.

&nbsNovel ;   While instigating Zhao Feng, Zhao Jin, Zi Zhi, Zi Zhang and other ministers to do their best to deal with Zhao Qi, Yang Shu revealed the news to Zhao Qi, who immediately mobilized the imperial guards and quietly set a trap to encircle Zhao Feng and others. In Zhao Qi's view, Zhao Feng and others were his last enemies in the country. He did not take the initiative to deal with Zhao Feng, but it did not mean that Zhao Feng could be safe. Since it was Zhao Feng who took the initiative, Zhao Qi no longer had any psychological burden, and he did not have to worry about other Zhao Guo afterwards. The blame from the powerful, after all, although Zhao Mu died, his prestige in the country is still unmatched.

Zhao Qi regarded Zhao Feng as his biggest enemy in the country, but he didn't know that Yang Shu, who was always loyal to his duty and respectful in front of him, was the biggest winner of the Han Kingdom this time.

A large number of guards set up an ambush outside the palace, leaving the palace empty. When Zhao Feng launched an attack on Zhao Qi on the long street, Yang Shu brought his own men and a group of troops mobilized from Meng Guangjun, plus Zhou Changshou's confidants and supervisors The personnel of the Supervisory Council in Jicheng appeared outside the palace.

Yang Shu was one of the three commanders of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. He had always been trusted by Zhao Qi and often went in and out of the palace. When the imperial guards left the palace in large numbers, Yang Shu brought people to take over the defense. The generals guarding the palace were careless for a moment. When the palace gate opened, everything was irreversible. The army rushed into the palace. The remaining imperial guards were no match for these people.

Whether it was Yang Shu's confidants in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Zhou Changshou's confidants, or the operatives of the Supervisory Council, none of them were not willing to kill. The best player in the blink of an eye, the weaker one is Meng Guang's subordinate.

The imperial guards were killed and retreated step by step. In the blink of an eye, they were killed and scattered. When Zhao Qi had not had time to capture Zhao Feng and others on the long street, the Zhao Palace had already fallen into the hands of others.

Luring the tiger away from the mountain, making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, the fisherman benefits from the fight between the fish and the clams. The Supervisory Office's action this time can be said to have racked its brains and spent a lot of thought.

Kill Zhao Qi? No, this is not what the Han Kingdom wants. Zhao Qi's existence is of great benefit to the Han Kingdom. On the contrary, The Han Kingdom would never tolerate a person like Zhao Feng.

With two swishes, Zhou Changshou raised his sword and slashed. The last two guards guarding the palace gate screamed and fell in a pool of blood. Zhou Changshou held the bloody steel sword and stepped into the hall. He had come here before to meet Zhao Wang Zhao Wuji, but at that time, he was very respectful and felt that even a casual move was disrespectful to Zhao Wang. He never thought that he would come in with a bloody steel sword.

Zhao Wang Zhao Wuji sat there with a pale face. On the side, his four wives stood trembling behind him, tightly grasping Zhao Wuji's clothes, and Zhao Wuji held his underage children tightly in his arms.

In fact, before Zhou Changshou and others broke into the palace, Zhao Wuji, the king of Zhao, had been imprisoned in this palace by Zhao Qi. After Zhao Qi came to power, Zhao State suffered a series of defeats, not only on the battlefield, but also in diplomacy and internal affairs. Zhao Wuji had long been helpless with Zhao Qi, but although Zhao Qi was now fully grown, no one could move him well. The opportunity was definitely not feasible. The defeat of Hedong gave Zhao Wuji such an opportunity, but when he just expressed his anger towards Zhao Qi, Zhao Qi had already taken action in advance. Zhao Wuji, who had been stubborn and free and thought everything was under control, became the prey of his own subordinates.

By the light of the fire, Zhao Wuji looked at Zhou Changshou who broke in, and his face showed an extremely surprised look.

"General Zhou!" He cried out, "Why is it you? You, why are you here? Aren't you in Wei?"

Zhou Changshou looked at the old man. Zhou Changshou, a king whose words were as important as gold, was really full of emotion. Comparing people with others is really annoying. Looking at the King Gao Yuan of the Han Kingdom, and then looking at the current appearance of the king he once admired, Zhou Changshou could only sigh that people cannot be compared.

With a clang, he threw away the steel knife in his hand, clasped his hands together, and knelt on one knee in front of Zhao Wuji, "Your Majesty, I'm back, you have been wronged."

Zhao Wuji blinked and looked at Zhou Changshou, obviously not understanding yet.

"You, you...what did you say?" He asked stutteringly.

Zhou Changshou raised his face and looked at Zhao Wuji, "Your Majesty, the evil deeds of Zhao Qi, although the last general was isolated in Wei, he also got the news. Zhao Feng, Doctor Zhao, Lord Zhao Jin, Lord Zi Zhi, Zi Zhi Master Zhang contacted Wei Chen, hoping that Wei Chen would come back and join forces to deal with Zhao Qi, so Wei Chen abandoned the army there and took the risk of sneaking back to Handan. Tonight, Master Zhao Feng and others were responsible for attracting Zhao Qi's attention. We have the power, and Wei Chen is responsible for attacking the palace. Wei Chen has lived up to the trust of our lords and has successfully killed and dispersed all Zhao Qi's followers in the palace. Your Majesty, you are free."

After hearing what Zhou Changshou said, Zhao Wuji stood up with a loud noise. Unexpectedly, the two children in his arms were knocked down. The two ladies behind him quickly helped them up.

"You mean, you mean Zhao Qi has been captured now? I am the king of Zhao again."

"The king has always been the king of Zhao!" Zhou Changshou said loudly: "As for whether Lord Zhao Feng has captured Zhao Qi, Wei Chen doesn't know yet. Wei Chen's mission is to rush into the palace. , rescue the king and protect his safety."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Zhao Wuji was relieved and laughed loudly, "I just said, how come our Zhao is short of loyal ministers and righteous men, right? Hahaha! This is a poplar tree riding on a tiger and a leopard, right? Can you Abandon darkness and turn to light, very good, very good, I will reward you heavily."

Yang Shu bowed and said: "This is my duty. I have always been loyal to Zhao and to the king. However, in the past, Zhao Qi was so powerful that I could only swallow my breath and live in poverty, waiting for a good opportunity. After General Zhou returns, As soon as I contacted you, I responded positively and finally rescued the king."

"Okay, okay, I will never treat you badly to loyal ministers and righteous men. How many men do you have now? I will personally lead them out and kill Zhao Qi, the traitor, with my own hands." Zhao Wuji said loudly.

"Your Majesty, you must not do it!" Zhou Changshou and Yang Shu said in unison: "The manpower in the hands of the ministers is only enough to guard the royal city, and Zhao Qi has great power in the imperial city, and Zhao Xilie controls most of them. The imperial guards, and Li Mingjun also controlled the city guards. Although the ministers and others tried hard, they could only persuade a small number of them. Now that the king is out of the palace, the outcome is unknown. If Zhao Qi has evil intentions, A single throw would be detrimental to the king, and we have no confidence that we can block his offensive."

"Well, what should we do? What if Zhao Qi kills Zhao Feng and others and attacks the palace again?" Zhao Wuji asked in surprise.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this is why we must invite General Zhou back. General Zhou has made proper arrangements. Even if Zhao Qi leads his troops to attack the palace, we can still defend it for three to five days. In fact, it doesn't take so long. As long as the news spreads at dawn, the people of Handan, as well as the city guards and the soldiers in the imperial guard who don't know the truth know the truth, and a counterattack will no longer be a dream. At that time, Wang If you climb high and shout, Zhao Qi will definitely die without a burial place." Yang Shu talked eloquently.

"That makes sense, let's just wait here for the news!" Zhao Wuji suddenly felt relieved when he heard that Miyagi was fine.

On the long street, Zhao Qi's face was ashen. He looked at the fire in the palace and listened to the faint shouts of killing. His whole body was trembling. The sound of horse hooves sounded quickly, and a guard's face was covered with blood. The horse galloped over.

"Master Zhao, it's not good, it's not good."

"Tell me, what happened?" Zhao Xilie roared sternly.

"Not long after General Zhao led his troops out of the palace, Commander Yang Shuyang arrived with a group of troops. He said that there was a rebellion in Handan tonight, and the Imperial Guards left the palace to suppress the enemies. The palace was empty of defenses, so he ordered him to lead a group of tiger troops. The Leopard Cavalry came to garrison the palace. General Wang opened the palace gate without noticing. It was thought that Yang Shu was a rebel. As soon as he entered the palace gate, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry began to kill the guards stationed in the palace. The army was caught off guard and we were defeated. Not many of us were dead. Even General Wang was killed by Zhou Changshou."

"Who are you talking about?" Zhao Qi's eyes widened.

"Zhou Changshou, General Zhou, I have seen him before."

Zhao Qi looked up to the sky and sighed, "The trap, everything is just a trap. Zhou Changshou, since Zhou Changshou is back, the Han Kingdom must have had a hand in it."

"Dad, I will lead my people back to the palace city immediately and capture the palace city. Everything is still under our control." Zhao Xilie said sternly.

Zhao Qi shook his head with a sad face, "What do you think Zhou Changshou came back to do? With him here, the palace city will not be so easy to capture. By the time dawn comes, Handan will definitely get the news. Are there fewer people who oppose me in this city?" ?Don’t say anything else, but if Zhao Wuji shouts this a few times from the palace city, how many people in your army will have the will to fight?"

Zhao Xilie's face turned pale at this time, "Dad, what should we do now?"

"Take someone to the eldest prince's palace immediately. He should not understand what happened now, so go and snatch him out. Then we will join Li Mingjun, fight out, and go to Shanggu." Zhao Qi took a deep breath and stabilized himself. mind.

"Dad, I understand!" Zhao Xilie said no more, turned around and rode away.

Zhao Qi turned around and looked at Zhao Feng, Zhao Jin and others who had been captured not far away, with a fierce look in his eyes. (To be continued...)
