After my mother read my mind, my whole family rebelled

Chapter 239: The Tablet of the Late Emperor

What Xia Yu never expected was that when he and Zhang Yu and other generals were discussing how to capture Jinan Prefecture, the soldiers outside the door reported that the general Tie Xuan who was guarding the city suddenly sent his own servant to Xia Yu's tent.

"Let him in." Xia Yu said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

"I am Tiehu, a servant of Master Tiexuan. I am here to pay my respects to His Royal Highness Prince Ning on the orders of the master."

"What does your master have to say?" Xia Yu asked indifferently.

He wondered why Tie Xuan sent his servants to his military camp at this time.

"Your Highness Prince Ning, my Lord Tie has a letter to present."

"Show it up, my king."

After Xia Yu opened the letter brought by the Tie family's servant, the expression on his face seemed to become even gloomier.

The servant who called himself Tiehu looked at Xia Yu and said, "My master, Lord Tie, really wanted to submit to His Royal Highness Prince Ning, but Lord Sheng Yongsheng has always been by his side. He is always watching him, so he can't come out to meet His Royal Highness."

Xia Yu narrowed his eyes, and a barely perceptible smile flashed in his starry eyes.

In the previous life, there was also a battle in Jinan Prefecture.

However, the person sitting on the emperor's dragon throne at that time was not Xia Chongwen, but His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, who was poisoned to death by a woman in the palace immediately after the death of the crown prince.

The one guarding Jinan Prefecture at that time was none other than himself, His Royal Highness Prince Ning Xia Yu!

The one who attacked the city in the name of "Jingnan" was the Prince of Jin who had already passed away by then!

The battle of Jinan Prefecture remained unchanged, but the camps of the entire Great Xia Dynasty were completely different.

Xia Yu was in a trance for a moment and couldn't tell which life was real.

While he was hesitating, he heard the servant Tiehu continue to say: "My master asked me to tell His Royal Highness Prince Ning that he will personally open the city gate at night at the hour of Mao tomorrow to welcome you, Your Royal Highness Prince Ning!"

"Your Highness, please lead the light cavalry into the city as quickly as possible!"

"Impossible! At the moment of the confrontation between the two sides, His Royal Highness Prince Ning is our commander-in-chief. How can he believe your clumsy plan of false surrender!" Zhang Yu, who was standing on the left of Xia Yu in the tent, blurted out.

To be honest, he absolutely would not believe that Lord Tie Xuan would voluntarily surrender at this moment. This matter always made him feel that something was wrong.

Fake surrender!

It must be a false surrender!

"Your Highness must not fall into the trap!" Zhang Yu turned around and bowed to Xia Yu.

But at this moment, Xia Yu actually believed in Tie Xuan a little.

It was only because he and Tiexuan had met several times in his previous life, and he had some respect for Tiexuan's upright character.

"This Lord Tie has always claimed to be a gentleman, and he would never use the trick of false surrender to deceive the king."

Xia Yu smiled slightly, waved his hand at the excited Zhang Yu, and said, "Besides, I just looked carefully and found that the handwriting on this letter is indeed from Lord Tie Xuan. I recognize his handwriting."

"This..." Although Zhang Yu could no longer say what was wrong, he still felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.

Before leaving the tent, Zhang Yu signaled to Ma Sanbao behind Xia Yu that he had something to say.

Ma Sanbao nodded and followed Zhang Yu out of the tent.

As they walked, Zhang Yu said to Ma Sanbao, "Sanbao, I feel uneasy about tomorrow's event."

Ma Sanbao said, "Yes! I also think that things won't be that simple."

"Whether His Highness takes you into the city tomorrow or not, you must rush to go, and you must be alert at that time."

"As ordered!"

The next day, in order to show his trust in Tie Xuan, Xia Yu really took several of his guards and walked towards the south gate of Jinan Prefecture.

Tie Xuan, who was standing on the city wall, ordered his men to obey his orders.

"Remember! You must keep His Royal Highness Prince Ning alive in the city gate."

Zhang Yu guessed it right again. Tie Xuan's so-called surrender was nothing more than luring Xia Yu into the city and capturing him alive.

Just as Xia Yu was riding his warhorse and walking slowly to the city gate, Ma Sanbao, who was following behind Xia Yu, suddenly saw that the gate of the city gate began to loosen.

"Your Highness, beware of fraud!"

Ma Sanbao shouted.

The imperial soldiers guarding the city on the city wall heard a loud shout and thought it was Tie Xuan who issued the order, so they immediately lowered the gates.

Seeing that the heavy gate was about to fall on Xia Yu's head, the warhorse under Xia Yu's crotch seemed to have a spirit. It raised its front hooves suddenly and knocked Xia Yu to the ground before he could react.

The horse was violently cut into two halves by the gate, and a few drops of horse blood splattered onto Xia Yu's face.

Tie Xuan saw that he had failed in his attempt to capture Xia Yu alive, so he had no choice but to go all out. He shouted, "Archers, listen to my orders!"

For a moment, Xia Yu, lying on the ground, was closest to death.

Fortunately, Ma Sanbao, who was following Xia Yu, had already discovered the problem with the gate earlier and rushed towards the city gate on his horse. In the blink of an eye, everyone saw Ma Sanbao dragging Xia Yu onto his horse's back and riding straight back.

Riding on horseback, Xia Yu looked back at Tie Xuan on the city wall. At this moment, his anger was completely ignited.

Betrayed by someone you trusted.

Different camp, different characters, but his experience is exactly the same as in his previous life!

Once again, he was brutally betrayed by someone he trusted.

When Xia Yu returned to the camp, he was so furious that he ordered all the artillery of the Jingnan Army to be concentrated.

He wants to bombard Jinan Prefecture!

Those who betray him must pay the price.

"Within three days! I will turn Jinan City into a scorched earth!"

Subsequently, heavy artillery fire bombarded Jinan Prefecture for two full days.

On the third day, Xia Yu in the tent was wondering why he didn't hear the sound of artillery fire when Zhu Aneng was walking quickly towards the tent.

"Your Highness, Tie Xuan actually hung the tablet of the late emperor on the city wall."

"What? Take me to see it!" Xia Yu really didn't expect that Tie Xuan, who was usually a gentleman, could be a complete villain!

When Xia Yu led the soldiers to the foot of the city tower, they saw a huge tablet hanging on the city gate tower of Jinan Prefecture.

Looking closely, it was the tablet of the old emperor.

As a result, Xia Yu no longer dared to bombard Jinan Prefecture. If he continued to fight, he would be committing a serious act of filial piety.

On the other side, Chen Heng, who was stationed at Songting Pass, was bringing a large amount of food and grass to support Xia Yu.

Unexpectedly, when they were halfway through their journey, they encountered an ambush by the imperial court.

All the food and supplies that Chen Heng carried were burned by the imperial army, and he himself was able to save his life only by breaking through the siege.

When Xia Yu heard the news, he felt disappointed.

You must know that the food he has left is only enough to support his army of more than one hundred thousand for less than seven days.

At this time, the tablet of the late emperor was still hanging on the city wall of Jinan Prefecture. We couldn't fight, and we didn't dare to waste time!

"Generals, listen!"

"exist!"

"Retreat from Yanjing!"

"Yes!"
