Chapter 193: Secret Passage Operation
As the sky brightened, a hint of paleness gradually appeared on the horizon.
Jiang Chen looked at the light before dawn and slowly raised the corners of his mouth.
"It looks like Prince An will take action today."
When Du Mingyu, who was standing next to Jiang Chen, heard this, a gleam of .
Because he knew that his chance to make meritorious contributions by following Jiang Chen had come!
"My Lord, what should we do now ?"
Hearing Du Mingyu's question, Jiang Chen slowly turned around and said to Du Mingyu.
"For us now, doing nothing is better than doing anything!"
After saying that, Jiang Chen turned around and left without caring whether Du Mingyu understood or not.
Looking at Jiang Chen's departing back, Du Mingyu repeatedly pondered the meaning of what he had just said.
But after thinking for a long time , Du Mingyu still didn't understand what Jiang Chen meant by this sentence.
But Du Mingyu knew that he only needed to follow Jiang Chen's instructions .
Two hours later, Prince An's army arrived under the leadership of several generals including Huo Xiang.
Once again launched an attack on the imperial capital!
After learning the news, Jiang Chen did not go to the city wall.
Instead, he went straight back to his Jiyuan Marquis Mansion and fell asleep in Chen Yueru's arms.
As Jiang Chen fell asleep, the little man in his mind began to sway wildly.
Three hours later, Jiang Chen was gently awakened by Chen Yueru.
"My Lord, Prince An's army has stopped attacking the city!"
A soldier from the Blue Camp under Du Mingyu was ordered to report the news that Prince An's army had stopped attacking the city to Jiang Chen who had just woken up.
"I understand. Go back and tell Du Mingyu."
"Tell him not to let his guard down and be alert to the movements of Prince An's army at all times!"
After listening to the report from the Blue Camp soldier, Jiang Chen thought about it and gave instructions with some concern.
"I understand. Please rest assured, my lord, I will report back to the commander!"
"Okay, go back now. I won't keep you here any longer."
After saying that, Jiang Chen waved his hand, signaling that the soldier from the Blue Camp could go back.
When the soldiers saw that Jiang Chen had no further instructions, they bowed and turned to leave the Jiyuan Marquis Mansion.
Just as this soldier left Jiyuan Marquis' Mansion, Prince An's army.
Prince An looked at Prime Minister Huo and spoke slowly.
"It's almost time, take your people and get ready!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing Prince An's order, Prime Minister Huo bowed respectfully.
Then he turned around and returned to his camp with several lieutenants.
At this time, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the moon was already hanging in the sky.
Looking at the night sky and the stars, Huo Xiang took a deep breath and just sat there quietly.
As time went by, the defenders on the city walls of the imperial capital were replaced by the imperial guards.
Looking at the imperial guards on the city wall, Prince An turned around and nodded to the scout behind him.
Seeing Prince An's instruction, the scout quickly jumped on his horse and galloped to Prime Minister Huo.
"General Huo, the prince has given the order, we can act now!"
"I understand."
After listening to the scout's words, Huo Xiang nodded slowly, took a deep breath, and then stood up suddenly.
Looking at the hundreds of subordinates who had changed into night clothes, he spoke slowly and loudly.
"Soldiers, the opportunity to make achievements has come!"
"Tonight, I will join you in charging into the imperial capital, burning the granary, and seizing the city gates!"
After Huo Xiang finished speaking loudly, all the soldiers drew their swords from their waists and echoed him.
"Burn the granary and seize the city gate!"
"Burn the granary and seize the city gate!"
Faced with his subordinates' high morale, Prime Minister Huo nodded with satisfaction.
Immediately afterwards, Huo Xiang jumped into the tunnel first, and the soldiers followed him.
After groping in the tunnel for nearly half an hour, Huo Xiang finally crawled out of the tunnel.
At this time, he was covered in mud and his face was stained gray by the dust.
"Hoo, hoo, damn, this crappy tunnel almost suffocated me to death."
After complaining, Prime Minister Huo began to breathe in the fresh air in the imperial capital in big gulps.
After a while, a total of one thousand soldiers of Prince An came out of the tunnel one after another and joined Prime Minister Huo.
After counting the number of people, Prime Minister Huo called Wang Ergou, who had long since defected to Jiang Chen.
"Wang Ergou, take a team of people to check the situation of the city gate."
"As for the rest of you, divide into four teams and follow me to burn the granary according to the map!"
"Did you understand everything?!"
"Understood, General."
The ten centurions listened to Huo Xiang's order and nodded one after another.
In this way, Wang Ergou led two hundred soldiers of Prince An to the city gate.
The remaining eight hundred people followed Prime Minister Huo and divided into four groups, moving towards the granary as indicated on the map.
"Wang Ergou, are you sure this place won't be discovered by the imperial capital's defenders?"
A centurion who followed Wang Ergou looked at the surrounding geographical conditions and asked with some confusion.
"General, don't worry, we have already investigated this place."
"Normally, the imperial guards wouldn't come here to patrol at night."
Facing the centurion's doubts, Wang Ergou smiled slightly and answered slowly.
Of course, there would be no imperial guards patrolling here, because near this large courtyard, there were two thousand soldiers from the Blue Camp lying in ambush!
After listening to Wang Ergou's explanation, the centurion finally dispelled his doubts.
The centurion next to him couldn't help but laugh at his comrade who was so frightened.
"I say, Lao Wang, you are really timid. This brother has told me that this place is very safe, and you still..."
However, before he could finish his words, Wang Ergou, who had just looked timid, had already pulled out two daggers and put them on the necks of the two centurions.
"Wang Ergou, what are you doing!?"
"Put away the dagger quickly, and don't let the defenders of the imperial capital find it!"
Faced with Wang Ergou's behavior, the two centurions panicked and hurried to persuade him.
But after hearing what the two said, Wang Ergou smiled coldly.
"I'm sorry, you've been discovered by them since the moment you stepped into this courtyard!"
The next second, before the two men could recover from the shock of Wang Ergou's betrayal, soldiers from the Blue Camp rushed out and surrounded the two hundred soldiers of Prince An.
"Wang Ergou, you actually dared to collaborate with the enemy. You are so brave!"
Looking at these soldiers who suddenly rushed out, the centurion understood that Wang Ergou had betrayed them long ago!
"Humph, what do you mean by treason? You asked me to die, but Lord Jiyuan gave me a reward."
"Speaking of which, I have to thank you very much. Without your heads, it would be difficult for me to report to the Marquis."
"Wang Ergou, you have done a great job. I will report the truth to the Marquis."
At this time, Du Mingyu slowly walked out from thousands of Blue Camp soldiers and said to Wang Ergou with a smile.
