As soon as Sima Yiqing returned to the Grand Tutor's Mansion, a eunuch who was an eyeliner in the palace ran past and reported: "Taishou, something big is not good, King Hu died of poisoning!"

"What!" Sima Yiqing stood up in shock and immediately drove back to the palace with the eunuch. When he arrived at the room just now, there were already many palace maids and eunuchs here. Hu Gui's body was still as it was and had not moved. Sima Yiqing couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at the raised little black gun, and went forward to check it. Seeing that Hu Gui vomited blood, he had already died of anger.

"If you don't die late, you won't die sooner, but you won't die sooner, but you will die at this time!" Sima Yiqing was very excited and couldn't help but curse. It doesn't matter if Hu urging to die, the problem is that he died when rumors spread. Everyone thinks that he is harming Hu urging, and it's really hard to argue.

Sima Yiqing immediately thought about it. It was too difficult to clear the suspicion now. The only thing he could do was to protect himself. When he thought of this, he whispered a few words to the eunuch just now. When everyone was not paying attention, they quietly retreated and came to the bedroom where Hu Gui usually lives. The palace maids and eunuchs inside went to watch Hu Gui, but no one was there.

The eunuch said, "I saw Hu Kui hid the thing under the bed."

The two of them immediately turned on the bed board and saw an exquisite box underneath. Sima Yiqing opened the box and said, "It's found."

Sima Yiqing picked up a golden tiger talisman from the box and said, "With this Wu King's Order, I will be much safer. You can continue to observe here and report any movement or not."

"Yes," the eunuch retreated. Sima Yiqing took out the order of King Wu, left the palace quickly, and drove a carriage to the camp of the Wu King's Division in Shandu City, hoping to take advantage of the news of Hu Gui's poisoning to death and control the Wu King's Division in his own hands before the news of Hu Gui's death spread.

The guards at the gate of King Wu's army saw Sima Yiqing holding the order of King Wu and immediately gave way. Sima Yiqing went straight to the camp in the middle. In the camp, the leader of King Wu's army was Meng Zhongzhan. This man was nearly two meters tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, wearing armor and was discussing the defense of Shan Capital with his subordinates. When he saw Sima Yiqing coming, he immediately stood up to greet him.

Seeing Sima Yiqing's hurry, Meng Zhongzhan asked, "The Grand Master comes here in person, what's the point?"

Sima Yiqing lit up the order of King Wu and said, "I am following the order of King Hu, and I order you to gather people immediately, go out to the east gate, and return to Heitian Camp."

Meng Zhongzhan couldn't help but wonder, but as soon as King Wu's order was issued, the order must be enforced and no longer asked, and immediately ordered his subordinates to gather the troops.

While the troops were gathering, Sima Yiqing was thinking about the whole story. Someone had rumored that he was usurped the throne, and then Hu Kui was poisoned. This was absolutely abnormal. Someone must have been secretly operated behind the scenes. At present, only Hu Kan and Qian Xiaoxing have this possibility, but with his own understanding, Hu Kan would definitely not design such a delicate plan, so it must be Qian Xiaoxing.

Although I had never met Qian Xiaoxing, I had a few secret battles. Although I had suffered a small loss, I had not yet ended up in the disadvantage. This time, it was different from the past. Maybe I would have to go all the way to the end and there would be no chance of turning around again.

"Qian Xiaoxing! Wait, I will definitely avenge this hatred." Sima Yiqing said gritting his teeth.

The Wu King's Division is worthy of being an elite soldier. In an instant, the troops were prepared and led by Meng Zhongzhan to the east gate.

Meng Zhongzhan and Sima Yiqing rode a horse in the middle of the army. Meng Zhongzhan asked, "Tai Shi, what are the tasks you have when you leave the city this time?"

"It's a secret mission, I can't tell you for the time being. I will tell you when I leave the city. Speed ​​up the city." Sima Yiqing said mysteriously.

Meng Zhongzhan nodded and immediately ordered: "March forward quickly!"

The Wu King Army arrived at the east gate of Shandu City, but saw that the gate was closed. Yang Liujun had already set up his team at the city gate and set off to wait for the Wu King Army. Meng Zhongzhan rode his horse to the front and said, "General Yang quickly open the city gate. I will leave the city under the order of King Hu."

Yang Liujun had already learned that Hu Gui was poisoned to death, and contacted the rumors that Sima Yiqing usurped the throne. He thought that it must be Sima Yiqing's actions and shouted loudly: "General Meng, Sima Yiqing is with you."

Meng Zhongzhan immediately replied: "It's with me."

Yang Liujun drew his sword and said, "General Meng, as long as you hand over Sima Yiqing, I will never stop you from falling in love with you, otherwise, even if my 50,000 imperial guards are fighting for nothing, I will not let you out of the city."

Meng Zhong Zhan couldn't understand why Yang Liujun wanted Sima Yiqing. At this time, Sima Yiqing rode a horse from behind to Meng Zhong Zhan and said, "Yang Liujun planned to rebel, and King Hu sent me to lead you out of the city to avoid being trapped in the city. A mere tens of thousands of imperial guards also wanted to compete with King Wu's army. King Wu ordered him here, General Meng immediately led his troops to fight!"

After hearing this, Meng Zhongzhan also pulled out his long sword and pointed at the tip of the sword and said, "Yang Liujun, you are too overestimated. You dare to compete with King Wu and kill me!"

The soldiers of the King of Wu brushed a few times, with a shield in their hands and a spear behind them, formed a platoon and slowly pressed over with neat steps.

Yang Liujun did not expect that the King Wu army would actually obey Sima Yiqing's command. When things came to this point, they had to fight. Although the King Wu army was powerful, he suffered a loss based on the high-walled city gate. He immediately commanded: "Shot the arrow! Drop the rock!"

The feather arrows flew out all over the sky, and the soldiers of the King of Wu raised their shields to block them, but there was no effect. When the soldiers of the King of Wu were approaching, dozens of kilograms of large rocks fell down like snow in the sky, and many of them fell down.

Seeing this, Meng Zhongzhan immediately ordered: "Blow the trumpet! Charge!"

"Woo...woo...woo..." Three low horns rang by, and the soldiers of the King of Wu's division were already slowly advancing, and immediately rushed over like a tiger that had escaped from the cage, killing the imperial guards under the city gate.

"Ah!" A soldier from the King of Wu took up his spear and stabbed straight into the chest of the imperial guards in front. Then he pushed it hard, and the spear passed by and stabbed the soldiers behind him. After succeeding, he immediately drew out his sword and rushed into the crowd to fight.

The soldiers of the King of Wu were all tall and strong, not only brave and good at fighting, but also had rich experience in fighting. They were invincible like hungry wolves entering the flock of sheep. The soldiers of the Imperial Guard originally wanted to compete, but they were killed in a short while and ran away, leaving only those on the city walls still resisting.

In an instant, ten thousand imperial guards under the city gate were killed lying on the ground, with broken hands and feet scattered all over the ground, and blood had flowed into a small river, filled with a strong smell of blood. Although the Wu King Army did not suffer much loss in the battle, thousands of people were killed by big stones in front, and the total loss was close to two thousand.

There are two left and right steps at the city gate to climb the city gate. Although Yang Liujun had 50,000 imperial guards, he was divided into four city gates to guard them. There were only more than 3,000 archers left here. He took out his long sword and said, "Prevent the stairs to the end, no one is allowed to come up, and reinforcements from other city gates will arrive."

The soldiers of the Imperial Guard at the city gate were also frustrated when they saw that the 10,000 soldiers were killed by the King Wu Division at once. Fortunately, the King Wu Division was good at plain warfare, and there was no advantage in siege in thick armor. A large number of soldiers of the Imperial Guard gathered at the entrance of the stairs, pointing their spears at the entrance of the stairs, and they threw large stones while resisting the soldiers of the King Wu Division rushing up.

The stairs could only be four or five people in parallel. The armor of the soldiers of the King of Wu's division was stained with blood, and each of them was red in their eyes. After several attacks, they all had to hit the stairs because they were too narrow and had insufficient firepower, so they could not kill the city wall. If they could not occupy the city gate, even if the city gate was opened, the suspension bridge outside could not be put down.

One side attacked hard, and the other side defended to the death, and the two armies began a tug-of-war. At this moment, on the second floor of the Peony Tower, Qian Xiaoxing heard that the King of Wu and the Imperial Guards were fighting at the east gate, and slapped the table and stood up: "Damn it, it finally started fighting, it took me a lot of effort."

Lu Shengzhong was also very excited and couldn't help but say, "Seventh brother, I really didn't expect that the originally stable Hu Kingdom would be disturbed by you, and their own people would fight against their own people. This is the most powerful strategy. It would kill a lot of Hu army without taking any more soldiers."

"The general attacks the plan, and then attacks the diplomatic relations, and attacks the troops again, and attacks the city under him." Qian Xiaoxing, carrying a famous quote from Sun Tzu's Art of War, couldn't help but say: "It's still Sun Tzu's powerful, and he has long understood the meaning of it."

"Grandson? Whose grandson?" Lu Shengzhong asked in confusion.

Qian Xiaoxing explained: "Sunzi is a famous military strategist, and the meaning of striking the enemy with strategy is to defeat the enemy without using force. The meaning of striking the diplomatic relationship is to win by using diplomacy. For example, in our previous Three Kingdoms Alliance, the meaning of striking the soldiers is to eliminate the opponent's soldiers. For example, our Black Dragon Ambush, and the worst means to attack the city is to attack the city."

Lu Shengzhong said with some understanding: "I understand now that a good strategy can withstand hundreds of thousands of troops. I used to know how to fight with force, but now I understand that the war can also be fought like this."

The two were talking, and the streets below were noisy. Qian Xiaoxing walked to the window and saw many imperial guards running towards the east gate quickly. Qian Xiaoxing said happily: "Okay, the more fierce the fight, the better."

At the east gate of Shandu, as reinforcements from the Imperial Guard arrived, the fierce fighting began again. In the streets and alleys, soldiers were waving their weapons and chopping each other. The people ran home and closed the door, not daring to speak.

The soldiers of the King of Wu were burly and wore two layers of soft and hard armor. It was not difficult to fight against the Imperial Guards, which only had soft armor. Although the Imperial Guards had more people than the King of Wu, they could not resist the strong attack power of the King of Wu. After a bloody battle, the Imperial Guards were defeated and died. The rest also left their weapons and fled, and they did not dare to go back.

At the gate of the city, the soldiers of the King Wu Division seemed to be not tired and attacked the stairs continuously, causing fewer and fewer imperial guards on the city wall. Finally, after a charge, they attacked up. After a sudden attack, they could not defend the stairs. The imperial guards on the city wall were immediately in chaos. In a short while, all of them were cleaned up by the King Wu Division.

Seeing that the battle was over, Meng Zhongzhan put the sword back into the scabbard and said arrogantly: "I dare to compete with my general's troops, and I will not be able to understand my own weight,"

Sima Yiqing couldn't help but urge: "General Meng quickly left the city."
