Chapter 232 Secret Communication
"I Summon Famous Generals from All History in Another World" is causing a reading frenzy on Cola Novels. Haven't you read it yet?
Heaven have mercy, all this time, in order to maintain the advantage in the war against Yan Zhou Yan Wang.
The Great Qian Dynasty exerted considerable pressure on Lingyang County and other surrounding prefectures and counties.
In particular, the dark forces of the Jianghu represented by the head of the Xu family.
A large portion of them were forcibly evacuated by the army that was advancing westward to quell the rebellion.
After all, those who can get involved in organized crime in this era are generally in pretty good physical condition.
Many of them even have a unique skill.
With a little training, they can become a well-organized army.
Even if they're taken out as cannon fodder, it's still much better than those weak and poor people.
Therefore, the head of the Xu family has suffered a lot during this period.
They were frequently harassed by the Daqian army's suppression forces.
The key point is that he doesn't dare to disagree.
Now, almost all the wandering and dark forces in the Jianghu of the entire Lingyang Prefecture have been wiped out by the Great Qian's army that is suppressing the rebellion.
If this continues, the head of the Xu family will soon be left with no one to command him.
Therefore, among everyone present, the head of the Xu family was the most enthusiastic.
They were even more eager than the initiator, Duke Pei.
There's no other way; we have to act quickly.
The Xu family itself is on the verge of extinction!
"Brother Xu, you make it sound so easy, but have you considered how many soldiers in Lingyang County and even the surrounding prefectures are still loyal to Emperor Qian?"
"If they knew that we had turned our backs on the Lord for personal gain, they would fight to the death to resist us."
"If a civil war breaks out, won't the western prefectures and counties of Qianzhou suffer even more devastation?"
The head of the Shen family shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Gentlemen, this matter is of great importance and cannot be decided in a short time."
"In my opinion, we might as well send someone to secretly contact the Flame King again and sound him out."
"If he truly intends to accept us and promises to protect the interests of our families, then it's not too late to discuss opening the city."
The head of the Li family, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke slowly.
Upon hearing this, the other four fell silent.
Although the Li family patriarch's suggestion was sound, time was of the essence, leaving them little room for leisurely planning.
However, the risk of surrendering the city directly was too great, and for a time the five family heads were all caught in an awkward situation of not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
"Forget it, fortune favors the bold!"
"I, Li, am willing to follow Lord Pei's lead!"
The head of the Shen family slammed his fist on the table, having made up his mind.
The Li family patriarch and the Zheng family patriarch exchanged a glance, pondered for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.
"In that case, there's no time to lose."
"I'll arrange the manpower right away, and we'll begin tonight to breach the western barrier—Xiong'an City!"
Upon seeing this, the head of the Xu family curled up a cruel smile.
With the heads of the five major families reaching an agreement, the atmosphere inside the mansion immediately became tense.
Servants came and went, delivering various messages and orders.
Soon after, groups of masked men in black quietly left the mansion and disappeared into the night.
...
The night was as dark as ink, and flames soared into the sky on the battlefield of Yanzhou, with shouts of battle deafening.
King Yan, clad in golden armor, sat atop a tall horse, his cold, stern face flickering in the firelight.
His gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, fixed on the Great Qian army suppressing the rebellion ahead.
Tan Mengjun, the general in charge of suppressing the rebellion in Daqian, is currently leading his army in a standoff with the Yan King.
Between the two armies was a battlefield filled with the smoke of gunpowder, where the blood of countless warriors stained the land red.
Just as the two sides were locked in fierce battle, a fast horse galloped from the direction of Lingyang County, heading straight for the Yan King's camp.
The knight on horseback held a secret letter in his hand, looking hurried.
"Report—!"
The knight dismounted before the Flame King, knelt on one knee, and presented the secret letter with both hands: "A secret letter from the five great families of Lingyang County!"
"Reporting to the King of Yan, the five major families of Lingyang County are plotting a rebellion against the Great Qian Dynasty. They are willing to offer Xiong'an City, the western barrier of Qianzhou, to assist our army in completely trapping the Great Qian's army in Yanzhou to quell the rebellion!"
Upon hearing this, a look of wild joy flashed in the eyes of the Flame King.
"Hahaha! Heaven is on my side!"
"With Xiong'an City in hand, the Great Qian's army sent to quell the rebellion is like a turtle in a jar; they will have no chance of escaping my grasp!"
He took the secret letter, quickly glanced through it, and then threw his head back and burst into laughter.
"Tan Mengjun, Tan Mengjun, it seems that the people in Daqian are not very united."
"Now that your escape route has been cut off, let's see how long you can hold out!"
He looked up at the distant Daqian military camp, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.
"Your Majesty, is this true?"
"Are the five major families in Lingyang County truly willing to submit to us?"
Upon hearing this, the generals beside King Yan all showed expressions of surprise and delight. They gathered around and eagerly inquired.
"Absolutely true!"
"Look, this is a personal letter from the heads of the five major families in Lingyang County, led by the Duke of Pei of the Great Qian Dynasty. They are already making preparations in secret, and they are just waiting for our order to open the gates of Xiong'an City and let our army march straight into Qianzhou!"
King Yan passed the secret letter around for everyone to read.
The generals passed the secret letter around, their faces showing excitement and fervor.
It's as if I can already see the scene of the Great Qian army being trapped and dying in Yanzhou.
A general flattered him.
"Yes! Head straight for the capital!"
The other generals also excitedly echoed this sentiment.
"Generals, please calm down."
"Although the five major families have agreed to submit to us, we cannot let our guard down."
"After all, they are a prominent family in the Daqian region, with deep roots and influence in Qianzhou."
"We must act with caution to avoid being bitten in return."
King Yan smiled slightly and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Pass down the order to the soldiers at the front to strengthen their vigilance and be ready to fight at any time."
"At the same time, envoys were sent to Lingyang County to contact the five major families and discuss specific action plans and timing."
"We must ensure everything is under control and that no accidents occur!"
He paused, then continued.
The generals all agreed and withdrew to make arrangements.
King Yan sat upright on his horse, gazing at the Great Qian army camp ahead, his heart filled with anticipation and confidence.
He could almost see the dawn of victory beckoning to him.
At this time, the western barrier of Qianzhou, Xiong'an City, was a defensive fortification carefully built by emperors of successive dynasties to resist foreign enemies.
It is sturdy and secretive, and unbreakable.
But tonight, this barrier that once deterred countless enemies is about to crumble in the hands of the five major families.
Under the cover of darkness, countless men dressed in black quickly approached the barrier.
They had a clear division of labor: some were responsible for sabotaging the fortifications, while others were responsible for diverting the guards' attention.
In an instant, flames soared into the sky, and the sounds of battle shook the heavens.
But amidst this chaos, a breach quietly appeared in a crucial part of the western barrier.
Meanwhile, a detachment of the army sent by Yan Wang to quell the rebellion, bypassing Tan Mengjun and his men, had been waiting outside the barrier for a long time.
Upon seeing the breach, they charged in like tigers descending a mountain.
