Chapter 817 The last battle in Jinyang
Li Ran said calmly:
"The so-called system of the Six Lords is the expedient system that Duke Wen used to weigh the court. It was unique at that time! But now, the internal struggle between the six ministers of Jin has become the root cause of all the chaos now. Therefore, according to the following view, the four ministers are enough in the court of Jin now!"
"Also, leaving the position of two ministers alone is quite inconvenient to the general's great cause! I believe the general has also considered a problem, that is, after entering Jiangcheng, if Fan Gaoyi, Liang Yingfu and Xun Xi are still united, and they will fight with me Zhao and Han Wei in secret, wouldn't that be a mess again?"
"So, I think the general can secretly discuss with Xun Shi about the abolition of the two ministers!"
However, Zhao Yang became more confused as he listened, and couldn't help but ask:
"Discuss him? According to what the gentleman said just now, Fan Gaoyi and Liang Yingfu will both stand by Xun Shi. Since this is the case, how can Xun Shi be willing to remove the two ministers?"
Li Ran smiled again and replied:
"Haha, in fact... the separation of power of the six ministers is not a burden to Xun Qi? Liang Ying's father was originally his subordinate, and now he is equal to him, how can Xun Qi not be resentful? After this battle, Fan Jishe will definitely go to Chaoge, and he will use Chaoge as a stronghold and continue to resist stubbornly. In this way, Fan Gaoyi's identity as the "Six Ministers" has become unworthy of his name."
"So, the general only needs to agree to Xun Shi that he can all the territory of Zhongxing clan in the future. How could Xun Shi disagree? In addition, although Fan Gaoyi is known as the leader of the Fan clan, he does not have the reality of the leader of the Fan clan. Why don't the general use this as a reason to abolish the Fan clan's position?!"
When Zhao Yang heard Li Ran's words, he did not reduce his doubts, but instead became even more worried:
"Let Xun Shi acquire Zhongxing clan? Although this move is justified, if Xun Shi obtains Zhongxing clan, his strength will definitely increase greatly. If..."
Unexpectedly, Li Ran still waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Haha, the general should not hear the principle of 'playing hard to get'? If the two ministers are removed and the four families are in equal power, it will be a chaotic situation. But if one can establish a strong force, it will become a 'striking force of 'stripping the yang', and the general will be free of blame!"
After hearing Li Ran's words, Zhao Yang couldn't help but realize:
"So that's it! Xun Shi's acquisition of Luyi, which was the Zhongxing clan, would arouse fear from Han and Wei clans. Even though Xun's clan has gained a favorable position, it will actually become the target of public criticism! Although this move seems to be profitable, it is actually a great harm. If so, my Zhao clan will be safe."
Li Ran couldn't help but nodded and continued to say:
"Not only that, the general can also show weakness to Xun Shi, so that Xun Shi can be alert to Zhao, and so..."
Just as Li Ran was not finished speaking, he heard Yang Hu say loudly outside:
"Lord! Zhong Xingyin shot a letter of war from the city!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yang looked at Li Ran and immediately asked Yang Hu to come in.
Yang Hu presented the letter of war. Zhao Yang opened it and saw that Zhong Xingyin expressed his intention to fight with Zhao Yang to the death in the letter of war, so that Zhao Yang would send troops out of the city to fight for life and death.
Zhao Yang looked at it and couldn't help but curl his lips:
"Xing Yin is also a big boss, but he is still playing this game? Do you really think I, Zhao Yang, is still a yellow-mouthed child? It's so ridiculous!"
Li Ran said:
"It seems that Zhongxingyin also knew that General Han and the others were coming all the way here, so he was anxious to capture Jinyang. Although this war book was naive, it also shows that he was really unable to hold back!"
"Please move the general to the city tower, but will follow from the side. Maybe... this will be the last battle between the general and Zhong Xingyin! The general must not be careless!"
Zhao Yang nodded and said:
"Well, then please be careful, sir!"
Zhao Yang and Yang Hu immediately sorted out their armor and wanted to put on a rhino armor for Li Ran, but Li Ran shook his head and said:
"Although he has experienced many battles, he has never worn armor. He will not charge in the battle, so there should be no need."
Zhao Yang did not force it, so he gave Chu Dang a pair of shields, asking him to be a good guardian.
This shield is made of bronze. One person is tall and three feet wide. It is difficult for ordinary people to pick it up. It can only be used on a chariot, but Chu Dang held it quite relaxed.
Zhao Yang and others climbed the city tower together and looked towards the direction of the camp. But seeing the flags waving, several rows of chariots were already lined up, ready to go.
Zhao Yang said:
"Yang Hu, let the soldiers cheer up. This battle is probably more difficult than before!"
Yang Hu bowed and said:
"Don't worry, lord, Hu has already ordered it!"
Although Zhao Yang was full of confidence, the war was imminent and he was still a little nervous.
Because this battle not only concerns the fate of their Zhao family, but also the fate of Jin State and even the whole world!
Not long after, but after hearing the war drums and thunder, the chariot immediately swept over, and the archers followed behind. After reaching the range, they began to shoot arrows at the city tower, and there were also some fire arrows mixed in.
Chu Dang was determined to protect Li Ran, and the pair of large shields were like a door, protecting Li Ran strictly.
The soldiers on the city tower also began to shoot arrows and counterattack, including fire arrows.
Some fire arrows shot into the chariot and ignited the chariot, but the horses in front were still unaware of it. When they knew it, their butts were burning and they broke free. After the horses pulled the chariot and ran around.
When the chariots arrived at the city, the rushing car that followed closely followed. The stones and arrows on the city tower fell like rain. The infantry arrived and began to use ladders and ropes to climb to the city wall.
Zhongxingyin almost went out in full force this time, and Ji Qin was also given a military order, so he did not dare to be negligent, and even supervised the battle himself and vowed to take down Jinyang.
At this time, Dong Anyu and Yin Duo also came to hear the news. Seeing that the war was getting tight, Yang Hu was in command with a armor and a big sword. Zhao Yang and Li Ran were supervising the battle not far away.
Dong Anyu and Yin Duo came to Zhao Yang. When Zhao Yang saw them coming, he couldn't help but ask:
"Why are you here?"
Dong Anyu replied:
"Go back to the lord, my subordinates are really worried..."
Jinyang was created by Dong Anyu. Even if it was prepared afterwards, he would do it himself, and everything was fine.
Although he had absolute confidence in Jinyang, the joint forces between Zhongxing clan and Fan clan and Handan were far stronger than those of Jinyang, so Dong Anyu was a little nervous.
Li Ran smiled and said:
"Yu, if you say who has worked hardest to Jinyang, it must be you? Since that's the case, are you even worried about Jinyang?"
