Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Near the flag-raising platform.

Hui Lantu, the commander-in-chief of the Jin army, was sitting on a custom-made oversized chair with his fat body, listening to the battle report from his messenger soldiers.

"Report, General Puguli sent me to ask the Grand Commander when to attack the North City."

The messenger had a wound on his forehead and his face was covered in blood.

Hui Lantu was sitting behind the army at this time, watching the battle in the distance above the west city of Qingzhou Prefecture. When he heard the soldiers' report, a solemn look appeared on his face.

Because all his plans for this battle were messed up.

This time, he served as the Grand Commander. In addition to expanding the territory for the Jin Dynasty, he also had an important task, which was to kill Wanyan Kang.

Expanding the territory is an unprecedented achievement. When he returns to Jinting, he will surely be appointed a general and be granted a title of nobility.

But that was after killing Wanyan Kang!

If Wanyan Kang was able to survive, even if he fought all the way to Wudu, he would definitely die if he dared to return to Jinting.

Wanyan Kang is the biggest threat to the current King of Jin, and also his token of surrender.

If he died, Hui Lantu would be on the ship of King Jin. As long as the Jin Kingdom was not destroyed, even the biggest storms could not hurt him at all.

This was a carefully planned killing, and also a gamble with one's life at stake.

In preparation for this grand drama in Qingzhou City, Huilantu kept adjusting his deployment and directly arranged two Huajin realm cultivators, Zhuo Rubin and Hui Tehanu, to be by Wanyan Kang's side.

Just to be on the safe side, he even transferred and integrated the warriors from his various armies and put them all under Zhuo Lubin and Huitehanu's command.

And this was under the premise that he had no idea that Wanyan Kang had already figured it out on his own and broken through to the Huajin realm.

This arrangement is extremely cautious.

According to Huilantu's arrangement, once the signal to attack the city was given, the three armies on the southern side would lead the charge with Wanyan Kang as the main leader.

At that time, if Wanyan Kang died in the city, everyone would be happy.

If he is smart enough and dares not to charge the city, then Huitehanu and Zhuo Lubin will lead their men to attack secretly.

They either accuse him of being a coward and collaborator with the enemy, or they simply kill him and make it look like he died in battle.

This is a fight in the royal court, a fight for the throne.

Huilantu killed Wanyan Kang and presented his body to the new king to show his determination and willingness to be the butcher in the hands of the new king.

Only in this way will the new king fully trust him and let him sit in the position second only to the king and above everyone else.

Moreover, he knew the truth about the fratricide among the royal family.

As long as he does not rebel, the new king will ensure that he enjoys peace and stability.

But such a good win-win situation has now turned into a mess.

And that’s not all.

In Huilantu's arrangement, Zhuo Rubin, Hui Tehanu and dozens of internal force deputy marshals and Meng'an were arranged in the left third route, not only to prevent Wanyan Kang from escaping.

It was also to allow these people to work together to defend the southern section of the city wall of Qingzhou Prefecture, creating tremendous pressure.

The Jin soldiers' spies in Qingzhou City had already roughly figured out the distribution of warriors in the city.

There are masters of Hua Jin in charge, but only two at most.

If Wanyan Kang did not run away, but instead cooperated in leading the siege, Zhuo Lubin, Huitehanu and the other two could lead the team and force their way to the southern city.

If Wanyan Kang rebels and escapes, after killing him, Zhuo Hui and his companions will lead warriors to attack the city, and they can draw the warriors in the city to the north and west sections of the city wall to provide support.

As long as the defense of the north city wall was lax, he would select a group of heavily armored warriors hidden among the soldiers and storm the north city wall.

When the time comes, with three-pronged attacks, Qingzhou City will surely be captured!

This was an excellent plan, but now, Zhuo Lubin and Huitehanu had been replaced by others and were most likely beheaded.

As for Wanyan Kang, he might have escaped.

This time, I’m afraid I’m really in trouble!

Hui Lantu looked at the messenger in front of him with a cold gaze. There was murderous intent in his eyes, which frightened the soldier so much that he lowered his head, fearing that the commander-in-chief in front of him would be angry and kill him.

"Report!!"

The second message was sounded, and a black horse separated the crowd and came closer, but before it could stand still, the messenger on it had already stepped forward, crossed a distance of nearly three meters, and landed steadily in front of Hui Lantu.

In the military camp, warriors are very valuable, but now Hui Lantu asked the warriors to report, which is enough to show what the situation has become.

"Bing Da Du Tong!"

"The Third Left Army sent a message. Before the death of General Hui Tehanu, all members of the Third Left Army were ordered to repeat it."

"Zhuo Lubin committed treason and poisoned all the generals above Meng An of the Left Third Army. Kill them if you see them!"

Click! !

As the messenger spoke, Hui Lantu's aura surged.

The moment he stood up, the seat under him shattered.

"Can you say that again!"

Hui Lantu clenched his fists and growled like a vicious tiger waiting to devour its prey.

The messenger was so frightened that his body was shaking, but he had no choice but to continue speaking.

"Among the three armies on the south left, only Mouke is left to lead the troops. They are no longer able to organize an effective attack."

As the soldier reported the news, Hui Lantu's aura calmed down.

"Aliban, pass on my military order, ordering Adieye to lead his subordinate Meng'an to take over the left third army and supervise the battle."

"I'll only give them a quarter of an hour to assemble. If they exceed the time limit, all of Adieye's men will be killed!"

Aliban agreed softly, then stomped his feet hard and appeared three feet away.

Hui Lantu turned around and looked at the messenger whose face was covered in blood.

"Tell Puguli to withdraw the heavy armor and use the ordinary soldiers to pave the way, waiting for the fireworks as a signal."

"Yes!"

The messenger heard the news as if he had been pardoned. He turned around, mounted his horse and left.

Hui Lantu looked at the Qingzhou city in the distance, his eyes filled with endless hatred.

The left third army has two commanders in the Huajin realm, eight deputy commanders, and more than thirty Meng'an. They are the backbone of the army.

Who on earth could have set up this scheme and poisoned everyone at once?

Zhuo Lubin committed treason?

Hui Lantu totally didn't believe this kind of nonsense that would disrupt the morale of the army.

Zhuo Lubin and Huitehanu were the ones he picked to kill Wanyan Kang. The wives, children, clans and bloodlines of these two people were all in his hands, and they dared not rebel!

Who else?

Wanyan Kang?

Could it be that he had been planning all this for a long time?

I might still have a chance!

Hui Lantu tried to stay calm and find a way to survive.

He confirmed Wanyan Kang's treason, captured Qingzhou City, massacred everyone in the city, and allowed his soldiers to burn, kill and loot.

As long as he can get the unanimous support of his soldiers, let them sing the praises of his achievement of breaking the city.

If the king wants to kill me, he must be afraid and worried that it will discourage his soldiers.

By then, if I can make up for my mistakes with my merits, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

Hui Lantu didn't know that Wanyan Kang had broken through to the Huajin realm on his own, nor did he know that the guy who disguised himself as Zhuo Rubin and stood on the flag-raising platform demanding someone was the Prince Jinting, whom he wanted to kill.

He knew nothing, but this groundless accusation directly approached the truth of the whole matter.

"Bring me my armor!"

Hui Lantu shouted loudly to the soldiers around him.

"This commander-in-chief will personally lead the charge to capture the Qingzhou city!"
