From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 340

"There's an assassin! There's an assassin!"

The soldiers had already reacted, and Zhou Yuan's guards had already been dispatched to surround the carriage.

Chu Feifan rushed out of the carriage, jumped up, stepped on the heads of countless soldiers, and carried a bag of apples, like a leaf in the wind, and left.

The soldiers of the Fifth Army Camp were in chaos, and the marching team also stopped.

Li He roared: "Quick! Go to see the marshal!"

He rushed to the carriage like crazy, and saw Zhou Yuan eating an apple leisurely, and was stunned for a moment.

Zhou Yuan said lightly: "Don't be stunned, continue to look for the assassin, tell everyone I'm fine."

Li He didn't know Zhou Yuan's intention, but he was honest now, and he did whatever the marshal said.

So, the Fifth Army Camp was looking for the murderer like crazy, and they didn't hurry on the road, and there was chaos everywhere.

On the carriage, Li Yu'an cut off the driver's head with a palm and started her familiar work.

About half an hour later, the work was completed.

Looking at the head that looked exactly like his own, Zhou Yuan felt an indescribable sense of weirdness.

He waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and give it to Chu Feifan. I really can't stand it."

Li Yu'an smiled and said, "Who in this world can stand seeing their own head?"

"But, have you decided to do this?"

Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "Of course, I originally wanted to ask Cai Ni to give Zhang Bailong some advice, and then send the assassins of the Wusheng Sect to cooperate with me to accomplish great things."

"Who knew that Chu Feifan would come to me on his own initiative."

Li Yu'an sneered, "He has become more powerful over the years, but in front of me, he is always just a little bug. Most of his skills are still taught by me."

Seeing her arrogant look, Zhou Yuan couldn't help laughing and said, "Our Saint Mother is still amazing."

Li Yu'an snorted and smiled, "I'm leaving. I'll come back to pick you up in the evening."

"Okay."

...

At night, after the five military camps were stationed, Zhou Yuan called Li He and Xiang Yong to the tent.

He looked at the two and said in a deep voice: "I hired the assassins during the day, don't worry."

"I have a bold plan, you need to be responsible for the execution, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise the remaining 50,000 soldiers of my Fifth Army Camp will probably be wiped out."

Li He and Xiang Yong looked at each other, their faces were solemn.

Zhou Yuan said: "Next, I will tell you my plan in detail. You should listen carefully according to the map and don't miss anything."

It took him half an hour to explain the details, and Li He and Xiang Yong were already pale.

Xiang Yong couldn't help but interrupt and said, "General, do we really want to take such a risk? If something goes wrong, we'll be finished!"

Li He said, "Yes, General, even if Ru Ning is difficult to fight, we can just fight slowly. If we take such a risk, what if..."

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said, "There is no what if, and there is no other choice. I made the decision after careful consideration, not on a whim."

"To pacify the Central Plains and eliminate the bandits, if we want to fight a hard battle, at least 200,000 troops are needed."

"We only have 50,000 to 60,000 people. It's not easy to fight to this point now. We won't get much advantage if we continue to fight."

"Warfare is a tricky way, and we can't stick to tradition."

At this point, Zhou Yuan pointed at The map said: "One hundred miles west of Shangcai is Suiping County. Another hundred miles west of Suiping County is Chaya Mountain. You will rely on this mountain to negotiate."

"Remember, only by performing at your own level can you have the capital to negotiate."

"When the time comes, you must let Zhang Bailong come in person. Do the things of each period in every period without any mistakes."

Xiang Yong finally nodded and said: "How many people will the general take with him?"

Zhou Yuan said: "Only four guards and a carriage. I will rush to Song County as quickly as possible and be ready to take action at any time."

Li He had no choice but to half-kneel down and clasped his fists and said: "I wish the general a successful arrival."

After the two of them withdrew, Li Yu'an finally came back.

She glanced inside the tent, then slowly said: "Chu Feifan has explained it clearly to him. He is a smart man, so there is no problem."

Zhou Yuan said: "I don't doubt his brain, but I am afraid that his position will be wrong."

"No."

The Immortal Mother said: "My position is his position. He knows very well that everything he has is given by me. I can make him or destroy him easily."

Zhou Yuan nodded and slowly said: "Let's go. Set off at night and rush over as fast as possible. Calculating the time, Wang Xiong and Shi Yi are almost there."

...

Of course, the carriage is not as fast as riding a horse. For Chu Feifan, his powerful internal strength and deep physical foundation are not enough., enough for him to ride day and night, and change horses on the way.

So it only took him three days to get back to Luoyang from Shangcai.

Without hesitation, he broke into the palace in Luoyang with the head in his hand.

It was the morning court, but the guards could not stop him. Chu Feifan was surrounded all the way to the square outside the main hall.

He was not panicked, and shouted directly: "Tian He, I brought you what you want."

After just a few dozen breaths, Tian He ran out of the hall with his robe in his hand.

When he saw the cloth bag in Chu Feifan's hand, he was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Mr. Chu, come with me to the palace. His Majesty must be very happy."

The two of them did not delay and went straight into the main hall. Under the attention of all the officials, Chu Feifan opened the cloth bag and said in a deep voice: "Emperor, I brought you what you want."

Zhang Bailong did not care about the so-called etiquette at all, but hurriedly said: "Open it and take a look!"

Chu Feifan pulled off the cloth bag, and a head rolled out of it. It was Zhou Yuan's face.

Chu Feifan said: "I pretended to be a soldier of the Fifth Army Camp, mixed into the team, and easily killed Zhou Yuan."

Tian He took a deep look, and then said excitedly: "Yes! It's him!"

"Your Majesty, a great victory, a great victory! The decapitation plan was a complete success. Mr. Chu brought back Zhou Yuan's head as soon as he made a move."

Until this time, the civil and military officials finally reacted and exclaimed.

The previous defeat made these ministers know Zhou Yuan's name and fear him like a tiger.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yuan's head is here now.

Zhang Bailong stood up and stared at the head on the ground with wide eyes. That face had been engraved in his heart for a long time. How could he not recognize it.

"Alas! Zhou Yuan was a talented general who could have done things for me, but he was stubborn and ended up like this."

"A so-called hero must know the times, otherwise he will not succeed in the end!"

Tian He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Zhou Yuan went against the will of heaven and was a stubborn person. Now he deserves to be executed."

Zhang Bailong nodded, and then said loudly: "My dear ministers, Zhou Yuan is dead, and the five military camps no longer have the strength to fight."

"Xu Mao."

"I am here!"

" I appoint you as General Zhuiyun and order you to command the three armies of Nanyang, Runing and Yingcheng. Set out today to encircle the Five Army Camps. "

"Zhou Yuan is dead, and the Five Army Camps have lost their backbone. The morale of the army is now scattered. It is a good time to encircle and annihilate them."

Xu Mao is a bald man. He immediately accepted the order and said, "I obey your orders and will not let your majesty down!"

Everyone knows that with Zhou Yuan gone, it will take at least one or two years for the Jin Dynasty to reorganize and suppress bandits. At this time, the Kaidai Dynasty has been firmly in the Central Plains for a long time.

This assassination can be said to be a great victory that determines the outcome!
