"Great King, Mao Dun is crafty and cunning. I'm afraid he will run away before the reinforcements arrive!”
"I have a plan to get rid of this disaster!”
Wu Shiluo thought for a moment before cupping his hands.
Hearing his words, all the officials in the palace instantly fell silent.
Since everyone wanted to get rid of Mao Dun, they all looked over curiously when they heard that he had a way.
"Mister Wu, do you have any good ideas?"
Touman, who had pulled out the arrow from his back and was originally a little dispirited due to excessive blood loss, immediately perked up when he heard what he said.
He actually stood up from the sickbed.
"I believe Mao Dun outside the city saw that the king was shot by an arrow!”
"Since that's the case, why don't we beat him at his own game and lure him into the city?”
Wu Shi cupped her hands and gave him an idea.
He had no choice!
The order that Ying Ziye gave him was to get rid of Mao Dun by sowing discord between the father and son.
If he didn't get rid of Mao Dun, he wouldn't have completed his mission.
If he couldn't complete the mission, the lives of his entire family would be in danger!
Therefore, he had to think of a way to get rid of Mao Dun before he could go back and report.
"That bastard Mao Dun has more than ten thousand soldiers while we have less than five thousand. If we bring him into the city, wouldn't we be inviting a wolf into the house?”
Hearing this, the Consort's heart tightened again.
"Let Mr Wu finish first!"
Touman glanced at her and said impatiently.
"The king pretended to be killed by an arrow and ordered a minister to go out of the city to ask Mao Dun to surrender!”
"Pretend to raise conditions with Mao Dun and lure him into the city!”
"When the time comes, Your Majesty will set up an ambush at the city gate and shoot him to death!”
"Otherwise, before the reinforcements arrive, he will probably escape!”
Wu Shiluo paused for a moment before continuing.
"This…isn't the risk too great?”
"I think this plan is feasible!"
"If we ambush archers at the city gate, once Mao Dun enters the city, shoot him immediately!”
"I also think this plan is not bad!"
"This old minister is the king's confidant. This old minister is willing to leave the city and feign surrender to Maodun!”
As soon as he finished speaking, all the civil and military officials in the palace began to whisper.
At first, some people were worried, but they gradually reached a consensus and unified their opinions.
There was even a white-haired minister who volunteered to leave the city to deceive and deceive others.
"Mister Wu, how confident are you in this plan?”
Seeing that all the ministers agreed, the Consort, who was not confident, had no choice but to ask Wu Shiluo.
"As long as Mao Dun dares to enter the city, he will definitely die!”
"Ambush archers at the city gate. Once Mao Dun enters the city, all archers will move towards Mao Dun!”
"Once Mao Dun dies, his ten thousand soldiers will surrender without a fight!”
Wu Shiluo said with certainty.
"Good!"
"Let's use Mister's plan to lure that beast in!”
"Men, pass on this king's order. Gather all the soldiers in the city and lie in ambush at the north gate for this king!”
"Old Wu Da, go out of the city and tell that bastard that this king is dead and lure him into the city!”
"This king must kill this beast today!”
Touman thought for a moment and gave the order.
Wu Shiluo was right. Mao Dun was outside the city and could escape at any time.
This beast would probably run away before the reinforcements arrived.
At that time, the grassland would be vast and boundless, and it would be difficult to pursue them!
As long as this beast was not eliminated, he would not be able to rest in peace!
Therefore, the only way to get rid of him was to lure him into the city!
"Yes, sir!"
"This old minister obeys the decree!"
……
"Your Highness, the capital is easy to defend but hard to attack. What should we do next?”
Outside the city, a commander rode his horse forward and asked Mao Dun for instructions.
"Continue cursing!"
"Scold me however hard it sounds!"
"After two hours, if that old bastard is still a coward, we will retreat!”
Mao Dun had already thought of a countermeasure and would at most fight for another two hours.
After two hours, regardless of whether it was effective or not, he would immediately escape!
Otherwise, when the reinforcements arrived, his men would be finished!
Instead of waiting for death here, he might as well take down the other tribes and use them as his foundation to fight against his father!
However, he was very puzzled. His plan had been successful and low-key. How did the old man suddenly find out?
If he hadn't given the order to kill Tiger Might's personal guard, he would have become a prisoner long ago!
"Great King, look, the city gates are open!”
"Someone is coming out!"
Suddenly, the city gates of the palace opened, and a man and a horse walked out.
When he got closer, he saw that it was Old Wu Da, the trusted aide of Leader Man!
"What is he doing out here?"
Seeing the old man riding straight over, Mao Dun was puzzled.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
Just as he was puzzled, the old man rode forward and bowed respectfully.
"What are you doing here?"
"Could it be that you want to surrender to this prince?"
Mao Dun sat on his horse and deliberately teased.
This was his father's trusted aide. Humiliating this old fellow was as satisfying as humiliating his own father!
"That's right!"
However, to his surprise, he had only said it casually, but this old fellow actually nodded?
How was this possible?
"The king was just killed by an arrow, and the city is in a state of panic.”
"A country cannot be without a master for a day!"
"After discussing with the officials, this old minister is willing to support the crown prince as king!”
"However, I have a condition that I hope Your Highness will grant!”
Just as his smile froze and he was surprised, Old Wu Da continued.
"That old man is dead…?"
Hearing what he said, Mao Dun was overjoyed!
Earlier, he saw the chaos on the city gate tower. The old man seemed to have been shot by an arrow and was carried down.
He didn't expect to die so quickly.
As long as his father died, he, as the Crown Prince, would naturally become the King of the Xiongnu!
"Tell me, what are your conditions?"
Mao Dun suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and pretended to be calm.
"Let go of this old minister's family!"
"Spare all the officials!"
"Let go of everyone in the palace!"
The old man pretended to talk about the conditions with him.
"What if this prince doesn't agree?"
Mao Dun did not agree immediately. He thought for a moment before speaking.
"Then we will support the son of the Consort and make him the king of the Xiongnu!”
The old man patiently continued to deal with him!
In any case, the longer the better. When the reinforcements arrived, they could work together from the inside and outside to kill this traitor.
"How dare you!"
"You dare?"
Mao Dun glared and pointed the tip of his blade at the old man's heart.
He was unwilling to mention the pain of the Consort's son!
It was precisely because of that kid's appearance that he lost his father's favor and was almost killed by his father!
Therefore, whenever the Consort's son was mentioned, he would show his fierce side!
"This old minister is old and has long made up his mind to follow the late king. If the Crown Prince does not agree to this old minister's conditions, just do it. Once this old minister dies, all the ministers in the city will support the son of the Consort as king!”
"When the reinforcements arrive, the Crown Prince will definitely be defeated!”
The old man didn't even blink when facing the cold blade in front of him.
He snorted coldly and said indifferently.
"Haha…!"
"Don't be angry, Old Man Wu Da, I just wanted to test if what you said was true!”
"Don't worry, as long as I ascend the throne, I will definitely grant amnesty to the world!”
"All the officials in the city and the entire palace will be pardoned!”
"This king won't kill them, haha…!”
Mao Dun, who was still showing his fierce side just now, suddenly laughed out loud.
He sheathed his saber and pretended to be generous.
He had to stabilize this old man first. It wouldn't be too late to kill him after he ascended the throne!
"Then please write a Blood Edict for me, Crown Prince. Only then will I be at ease!”
"Once the Blood Edict is issued, this old minister will immediately bring the Crown Prince into the city!”
The old man set another condition for him.
If he agreed to enter the city directly, it would arouse suspicion. That was why he was dragging his feet.
"Sure!"
Seeing that the throne was about to be in his hands, Mao Dun could not care less about anything else. He bit his finger and tore off a piece of his clothes before writing the Blood Edict in front of everyone.
Compared to the throne, this small injury was nothing!
"You can rest assured now, right?”
After writing the Blood Edict, Mao Dun directly handed it to the old man.
"Yes!"
"Not bad!"
The old man pretended to read through the Blood Imperial Edict seriously, then carefully put it away.
He sat on his horse and respectfully made a gesture of invitation." Your Highness, please…!"”
The older the ginger, the spicier. From the beginning to the end, the old man did not reveal the slightest flaw!
"Brothers, follow me into the city!"
"Haha…!"
Mao Dun pulled out his scimitar and swung it forcefully, laughing proudly.
Then, he led thousands of soldiers and swaggered back to the capital with the old man.
"Wu, wu…!"
"Awoo, awoo…!"
When his subordinates found out that he was about to become the king of the Xiongnu, they all shouted in anger!
They galloped their horses and charged straight into the city gate.
"Crash…!"
However, just as Mao Dun entered the palace, he saw over two thousand archers suddenly appear on both sides of the city gate.
They drew their bows and aimed their arrows at him.
"Not good!"
"We've been tricked!"
Seeing the ambush at the city gate, Mao Dun's expression changed drastically. He immediately realized that he had fallen into Old Wu Da's trap.
"Retreat quickly!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, he turned his horse around and was about to escape out of the city.
"Haha…!"
"Little bastard!"
"It's not that easy to escape now!”
"This king will definitely kill you today!”
"Men, shoot arrows for this king!"
In the distance, Tou Man, who was about to kill the traitor, laughed proudly with the help of two guards.
He cursed a few times and then decisively gave the order.
In an instant, a wave of arrows descended from the sky and flew towards the city gate.
