Chapter 194: Prime Minister Huo is captured
"Wang would like to thank General Du first, but let's deal with these people first before we talk about this!"
"Okay, brothers, I will clean up these annoying rats."
After nodding to Wang Ergou, Du Mingyuan waved his hand.
"Yes, Commander."
Following Du Mingyu's order, the soldiers of the Blue Camp, who had long been unable to suppress their murderous intent, rushed forward like a swarm of bees.
After a while, the entire courtyard was stained with the blood of Prince An's soldiers .
Looking at the bodies of their own men lying in a pool of blood, the two centurions immediately stared at Wang Ergou.
"Don't look at me like that. I will gladly accept your heads."
Facing the murderous looks in the two centurions' eyes, Wang Ergou smiled disdainfully.
Then he drew the long knife from his waist and slashed at the necks of the two men.
"Wang Ergou, you, a traitor, will not have a good end!"
The roar stopped abruptly, and two huge heads rolled to the ground.
Wang Ergou wiped the blood off the blade on the headless bodies of the two men and muttered to himself.
"Compared with the traitorous leaders like Prince An, what I have done is nothing..."
While Du Mingyu was dealing with the two hundred An Wang troops that had sneaked into the city, Huo Xiang had already arrived at the location of the granary according to the map.
After confirming that the location was correct as shown on the map, Huo Xiang smiled and said to the eight centurions behind him.
"Brothers, it's time for us to perform meritorious deeds. Follow me and charge in, burn the food and grass of these imperial capital bastards, and welcome the prince into the city!"
"yes!"
Upon hearing Prime Minister Huo's order, all the soldiers began to gear up and were eager to rush in right away.
But just as Prime Minister Huo was about to lead everyone into the granary, a voice slowly resounded in the night sky.
"Long time no see, General Huo."
Hearing this voice, Huo Xiang stopped where he was and turned back in disbelief.
He saw a young man riding a horse holding a torch and smiling at him.
"Jiang Chen?!"
“Why are you here!?”
"Could it be that you..."
"Yes, you have fallen into the trap. There is no granary here at all."
Looking at the dazed Huo Xiang, Jiang Chen smiled slightly and stated the fact.
After hearing what Jiang Chen said, Huo Xiangru felt like he was struck by lightning. He couldn't believe it and his legs went limp and he knelt on the ground.
"Tsk tsk, General Huo, I haven't seen you for such a long time, you don't have to be so polite!"
Jiang Chen laughed and said, and in the darkness behind him, thousands of soldiers from the Qing Camp slowly walked out.
Looking at the huge army surrounding him, Huo Xiang finally understood everything.
It turns out that all this had been planned since Wang Ergou sent the granary location map!
All his and Prince An's actions were under Jiang Chen's control.
They fell into Jiang Chen's trap completely!
"It turns out that you have already planned all this!"
"No, no, no, you can't say that, General Huo."
"I should say that you are courting your own death. After all, I didn't say that the granary location map is real."
As he spoke, Jiang Chen looked at Huo Xiang with a smile.
At this time, Prime Minister Huo was kneeling there in an embarrassed manner, his tiger eyes glaring at him angrily.
"Okay, I've wasted a lot of time talking to you."
"Han Zhong!"
"I will be here in the end."
Hearing Jiang Chen's call, Han Zhong, dressed in armor, quickly stood up.
"Send these brothers from Prince An's army on their way!"
"I will obey your orders."
Then, Han Zhong waved his hand and drew the sword at his waist first, and killed the 800 soldiers of Prince An who had not yet come to their senses.
Suddenly, a tragic wailing sounded in the open space in front of the "granary".
Listening to the wailing of his subordinates, Prime Minister Huo couldn't bear it and closed his eyes tightly.
Forcefully suppressing the anger and resentment in my heart.
Gradually, the wailing sound faded away, leaving only blood on the ground and eight hundred corpses.
Han Zhong held up the sword with blood dripping from the tip and slowly knelt in front of Jiang Chen.
"General, all the enemy troops have been killed!"
"Very good, but you seem to have forgotten our General Huo."
After saying that, Jiang Chen turned his gaze to Huo Xiang, who was kneeling there with his eyes closed.
"I'm sorry, General. I'll kill him right away."
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Han Zhong picked up the knife, stood up and was about to chop at Huo Xiang.
"Stop it, you are no match for him!"
Before Han Zhong could make a move, Jiang Chen stopped him.
After Jiang Chen's loud shout, Han Zhong could only put away his knife in disappointment.
"General Huo, I can give you a way to survive."
"As long as you can surrender to me, I will guarantee that you can be made a marquis!"
Jiang Chen still admired Huo Xiang, a general who had followed Prince An in battle for many years.
Whether in terms of strategy or martial arts, Huo Xiang, the frontier general, was one of the best under Prince An.
"Hahaha, then I might disappoint Eunuch Jiang."
"I will only be loyal to His Highness Prince An in my entire life!"
Faced with Jiang Chen's recruitment, Huo Xiang finally opened his eyes.
But those tiger eyes were filled with endless murderous intent!
Looking at the stubborn Prime Minister Huo, Jiang Chen could only shake his head helplessly.
"What a pity. General, you are such a talented person that I cannot bear to kill you."
"Someone, tie up General Huo!"
Following Jiang Chen's order, a team of Jinyiwei came running over.
Using a special iron chain designed to restrain warriors, he tied up Huo Xiang tightly.
"Jiang Chen, you rootless man, if you have the ability, just kill me!"
Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't kill him, Huo Lian shouted angrily.
But for Jiang Chen who wanted to recruit him, how could he bear to kill such a capable general.
"Stop General Huo's mouth, put him in the imperial prison, and treat him well."
"Yes, sir."
Upon hearing this, the Jinyiwei hurriedly tore off Prime Minister Huo 's battle robe and used it to cover his mouth.
"Mmmmm!"
Just like that, Prime Minister Huo was taken away by a group of Jinyiwei.
After dealing with all the bodies, Han Zhong walked to Jiang Chen's side.
"My Lord, what should we do next?"
"What else can we do? Burn all these corpses and the things we prepared!"
"Then, have someone open the west gate."
"Tonight, I will capture Prince An alive!"
"Yes, sir."
Soon, this "granary" was engulfed by a raging fire.
Under the light of the fire, the sky above the entire imperial capital became bright.
Looking at the flames rising into the sky in the city, Prince An, who had been anxiously waiting for news, was suddenly overjoyed.
“Hahahaha, I knew that Prime Minister Huo would not let me down!”
"Come on, quickly raise your troops and follow me to conquer the imperial capital."
