In the Xiang King's residence, the Xiang king sitting at the head heard the news brought back by Xie Yao. After thinking about it, the corners of his mouth tilted slightly: "they can't stand it at last. It seems that this time, they are really desperate."
"Your Highness, these people are crafty. Now they are very hungry. They are half dead, but they can't fall short." Xie Yao frowned and hurriedly reminded.
"What do you mean by that?" the king looked at him and said.
The magistrate standing below thought about it, then blushed and came forward: "return to the Lord, general Xie means that sometimes these people will falsely surrender to save their lives. When the time is ripe, they will return to the mountain."
"If they really take this step, I may also consider..." Xiang Wang thought and said.
Before he finished, Yang Shen was the first to stand up against him: "Your Highness, you must be kind to them. I remember that when your subordinates went down the mountain with the people of Yinzhu stronghold, childe Yinzhu mentioned that there were many bandits on Dawang mountain, and it was not once or twice that they gathered together and pretended to surrender. This time, King Yundu was watching us. We must not let anyone hold the handle."
Xie Yao here also nodded repeatedly: "Your Highness, what Yang Shen said is reasonable. After all, these people are different from childe Yinzhu. We don't know them at all. Moreover, these people are huddled together. They are all people with some means. Now if they still go down the mountain, the consequences will be unimaginable. What's more, there are waters around here. Those people are always the best at these. We can't take risks."
The people who stood at the head heard that they were all in agreement, and there was a voice of opposition. Yun Xueyao here was just silent and didn't speak easily. King Xiang looked at him and said, "Xueyao, your opinion on this matter is the same as theirs?"
Yun Xueyao frowned and said: "You have to think about it carefully. After all, these people have defected before, but they have no sincerity at all. It's reasonable for you to have such doubts. This time, they don't understand what they mean. However, your highness is kind. They surround Dawang mountain and don't attack for a long time. I think it's also a hope. They can be the same as childe Yinzhu, but everything should be small Be cautious. "
King Xiang nodded and said again, "these people have been entrenched in Dawang mountain for many years. If they are not eradicated, they will sooner or later become a heart disease. Therefore, I think it is a good opportunity for them to go down the mountain this time."
The bodyguards here, when they heard the speech, were all worried and looked in the direction of Yun Xueyao.
Yun Xueyao also stood up, thought about it and said, "Your Highness, this matter really needs to be careful. These people go back on their word. We can't be unprepared. We should make some preparations."
Seeing that they were so worried, King Xiang smiled and said, "what's your hurry? I have my own idea about this matter. Just listen to my arrangement."
Seeing that the LORD had made up his mind, they were worried, but they knew that it was useless to say more.
……
Inside the stronghold, the spies who were waiting for news from the inside were all looking nervously at the letters in his hands.
After Wang Fang read it, his face was uncertain. All the leaders below looked at each other.
"The master, what does it say?" a bold man came forward and asked.
Wang Fang sighed heavily, shook his head and said, "the insider said in the letter that although the king Xiang attacked the enemy country badly, he didn't seem to be so fierce to the people in the stronghold?"
The following people looked at each other and thought about it before they boldly said: "the big leader means that Xiangwang is surrounded but not attacked. He doesn't intend to attack the stronghold. He just wants to give us some color to see. He's not a dead hand."
Wang Fang nodded and said, "the Yinzhu stronghold on Mount Wu is so surrounded but not attacked. Now it has long been subdued."
All the people below heard the speech and talked about it one after another.
"Yinzhu stronghold is different from us. Although Yinzhu stronghold also occupies the mountain as a bandit, it always has strange whereabouts and rarely haunts in Wuzhou. The king of Xiang opened his eyes to him. Naturally, it said in the past, but we are different. We often haunt in Wu lake, and we have been found many times before attacking the camp in the border. In the heart of the king of Xiang, it may be different."
"The king of Xiang didn't attack. Perhaps he was afraid of our joint efforts and rushed up the mountain. If he couldn't take advantage, if he spread it, he would be laughed at."
"That's right. The king of Xiang is here at his command. Naturally, he should be careful, so he doesn't dare to go up the mountain rashly."
The people talked a lot. The master here looked at Wang Fang and stood up: "the master, it seems that these insiders are the same as what I mentioned last time, and they haven't heard any useful news. It seems that we should, as before, falsely surrender and save our lives first. After the King Xiang was sent, we won't have the best of both worlds when we return to the mountain."
This method has only been used many times in the hands of the magistrate, and it has been tried every time. After all, it is not easy to suppress bandits. The result the emperor wants is for him. As for what to do later, you can make a decision again.
Now everyone can't stick to it, and now it seems that we can only do it again.
Before opening his mouth, he heard spies running outside: "big head, big head, bad."
Everyone was surprised: "what's the matter? It's noisy."
The man fell to the ground with a plop and said with a trembling: "the king of Xiang, the king of Xiang, led the army to attack."
"What, attack, how can it be like this." as soon as he said this, the pot immediately burst open.
Wang Fang was also stunned and reacted. He grabbed the spy's collar and stared at his blood red eyes: "what you said is true. Where is the army?"
"It's halfway up the mountain..." the spy was trembling.
When the other party saw him kick aside, he pulled out his big knife and ran out quickly.
The people dared not hesitate and followed up one after another. Xiangwang was so cunning that he suddenly went up the mountain while the people in the stronghold were relaxed. There was no need to think about it. The stronghold must be in rout at the moment.
"Be in charge of the family, be in charge of the family, and hurry to lead people back to the general. It's as powerful as king Xiang's killing the enemy..." shiye desperately caught up, grabbed Wang Fang's collar and begged.
"Don't talk nonsense. Hum, I didn't know that the king of Xiang is powerful today, but he bullied me today, and our king is not a dry eater." when the other party said that, he pushed his hand away and sped down the mountain.
As soon as he got out of the gate of the stronghold, he saw the light of fire on the hillside. The torch shone on the snow, which was particularly dazzling. The sound of rushing was as tight as a burst. A cold wind blew, and Wang Fang couldn't help shivering.
Without much thought, he hurried down.
Xiangwang here led people to the mountain. At first, everything was going well. However, although the stronghold was not as good as before, many spies were still scattered. After alerting the spies, the fierce bandits who heard the news quickly flocked from all directions and soon stopped in front of the army.
"How far is it from their nest?" King Xiang shouted again and again as he led his men to chop and kill the bandits in front of him.
Yang Shen, who was beside the guard, hurriedly took time and said, "this is halfway up the mountain. The big head led Wang Fang's nest is at the top of the mountain. Your highness, if your subordinates don't, they will lead people to attack from other places."
King Xiang took advantage of the fire and looked in the direction of the top of the mountain. He vaguely saw the highest mountain, which was still far away: "it doesn't matter. Today, I was caught off guard when I killed Wang Fang. The mountain stronghold is like this. How can he sit still and wait for him here."
"Yes." Yang Shen nodded again and again.
Besides, Wang Fang ran wildly from the stronghold and finally ran halfway up the mountain. All he could see were the bodies of the people in the stronghold. The officers and soldiers all over the mountain killed people. How could he have suffered such a great loss since the day when he occupied the mountain.
He looked hard at the officers and soldiers. At a glance, he found the Xiang king in front of the team. He immediately roared, jumped up, and almost tried his best to cut down on the head of Xiang king.
