Chapter 168 The Army Borrows the Road, Lingwu Coup

As soon as Wu Qidong said these words, Zuo Qianhu, the commander of Wu Sanjia's soldiers, immediately felt nervous.

Subconsciously admonished: "General, you must not put yourself in danger!"

Ever since King Chen Huaian of the Jin Dynasty raised troops in Longcheng to appease Jingnan, and ordered the city gates to be opened to allow Major General Wu Feng of the Yunhui Army to enter Longcheng first, and then beheaded him;

The entire new dynasty military generals and personal commanders seemed to be frightened to death by this incident.

As soon as he heard that the other party invited his general to enter the city alone, he was like a tiger, fearing that his general would be like Wu Fengxian and end up "catching a turtle in a urn" with his body in a different place.

However, this Wu Sanjia is worthy of being a hero in troubled times, with great courage and courage, and even more confidence and arrogance.

Back then, in the selection and training arena for the top martial arts champion of the Great New Dynasty, he passed five stages and defeated six generals, and was finally selected as the top martial arts champion of the new dynasty. His skill and strength were the confidence of Wu Sanjia.

Now, he was only one step away from reaching the pinnacle of the new dynasty's military commanders. He had only one chance to honor his ancestors as a concubine, so Wu Sanjia naturally refused to give up.

He immediately ordered to shout loudly to the city wall of Jinan Prefecture: "General Wu, order the people to lower the suspension bridge and open the city gate. I, the general, will personally carry the imperial decree into the city so that the general can check the authenticity of the imperial decree!"

On the city wall, Jinan Guard Wu Qidong raised his eyebrows and ordered on the spot: "The whole army is on alert, lower the drawbridge and open the city gate!"

"Put down the drawbridge and open the city gate!"

Wu Qidong's general order was delivered to the ears of every defending soldier by the messenger behind him.

A moment later, with a roar, the heavy suspension bridge hanging high above the moat fell heavily, spanning both sides of the moat outside the city.

Immediately afterwards, the two heavy city gates at the north gate of Jinan Mansion were also pushed open from the inside by the soldiers guarding the city gate.

Seeing this, Wu Sanjia ordered Zuo Qianhu, the commander of the soldiers, with a domineering look on his face: "Zuo Qianhu, you lead the left and right Yuhou troops to wait here. I, the general, will come back as soon as possible!"

Before he finished speaking, the sweaty horse under Wu Sanjia's crotch had already raised its hooves, carrying its owner across the moat at lightning speed, and headed straight to Jinan Mansion.

Zuo Qianhu watched the general enter the city, and then watched helplessly as the city gates were closed and the suspension bridge was retracted.

The anxious waiting begins from here.

After Wu Sanjia entered the city, the officers and soldiers guarding the city immediately led him from the wide horse racing road inside the city wall to the city gate tower where the garrison general Wu Qidong was.

Everywhere they went, the soldiers guarding the city were ready with swords and guns in their hands.

In the attic above the city gate, Jinan Mansion guard Wu Qidong was already waiting here.

Behind the screen of another connected attic, there is a team of fully armed swordsmen hiding here, waiting for the sound of the cup with their ears raised.

"General Wu has arrived——"

Soon, following the announcement from the messenger, Wu Sanjia, who entered the city alone, came with his head held high.

Inside the room, Jinan City Guard Wu Qidong stood up to greet him, raised his hands and said hello: "General Wu!"

"General Wu!"

On the other side, Wu Sanjia also greeted Wu Qidong with his hands.

After some greetings, the two sat down as guests of honor. The entourage had already made hot tea on the square table in front of them.

Wu Sanjia did not waste any time, and directly handed the imperial edict in his hand to Wu Qidong, and said straight to the point: "General Wu, this is the imperial edict granted by the emperor and the empress dowager to this general to control the world's troops and horses;"

"Moreover, I have also decreed that when I receive the imperial edict, I will lead Huben's new army south to King Qin!"

Wu Qidong accepted the imperial edict doubtfully, and his shrewd and wise eyes never moved away from Wu Sanjia's body.

It wasn't until the latter calmly picked up the hot tea in front of him and drank it alone that he turned his attention to the imperial edict in his hand.

This imperial edict was indeed written by the current Empress Dowager Su Waner.

The content of the imperial edict is also the same as what Wu Sanjia dictated.

Including the imperial seal on the imperial edict, it is also the same as the seal on the imperial edict that Wu Qidong received before.

There are various signs that this Wu Sanjia was indeed ordered to go to the capital to help King Qin.

Snapped!

Suddenly, Wu Qidong, who was on the throne, slapped the imperial edict on the square table in front of him without any warning. The sound was so loud that the swordsman behind the screen in the next room almost rushed out.

Looking at Wu Sanjia in the guest seat, when faced with Wu Qidong's sudden attack, he still maintained his calm demeanor and drank tea alone, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"The bold rebel Wu Sanjia, how dare you forge an imperial edict and secretly send troops south. You, you want to rebel!"

Wu Qidong glared at each other angrily and scolded sternly: "Tell me, did you lead your troops south to Beijing this time under the instructions of Chen Huaian, the rebellious minister?"

"Under the guise of coming to the capital to help King Qin, are you actually trying to subvert the country and the country of the New Dynasty?"

Hahaha!

Hearing this, Wu Sanjia suddenly laughed loudly.

He gently put down the tea cup in his hand, then turned around suddenly, with a sharp gaze shooting out, staring directly at Jinan Mansion guard Wu Qidong;

Then, he said: "General Wu, you know very well that this imperial edict is definitely not forged!"

"You are pretending to be profound and angry, but you are just thinking about the kindness of the then Prime Minister Qin Ruhui to you, but -"

"I'm afraid you, General Wu, also know in your heart that the person who is trying to overthrow the country and the country of the New Dynasty and bring chaos to the country is definitely not me, Wu Sanjia, but Qin Ruhui, the treacherous prime minister!"

"Between loyalty to the emperor and patriotism and the support of the treacherous prime minister, you, General Wu, are still hesitating and wavering, right?"

Swish!

Wu Sanjia pointed out Wu Qidong's thoughts so sharply that the latter's face turned red and white.

Wu Qidong hesitated between throwing the teacup in his hand and not throwing it several times.

Crack!

The next moment, Wu Qidong crushed the teacup in his hand with one hand, but finally did not choose to throw the cup, and summoned the swordsman to hack Wu Sanjia to death.

He stared at Wu Sanjia with bloodshot eyes, and said word by word: "Wu Sanjia, if you have your own troops and overthrow the country of the Great New Dynasty in the future;"

"Will this general regret not giving a decisive order today and letting the swordsman hack you to death on the gate tower of Jinan City?"

Faced with Wu Qidong's soul-searching question, Wu Sanjia did not answer.

However, when Wu Qidong asked this question, there was an unpredictable cunning flash in Wu Sanjia's deep eyes.

Haha!

Wu Qidong laughed self-deprecatingly: "Well, who can tell what will happen in the future?"

"Anyway, I have made plans and preparations to live and die with Jinan City!"

Then, Wu Qidong shouted: "Come here, pass on my order to open the city gate and let the new Tiger Army outside the city enter the city!"

"Open the city gate and let the new Tiger Army enter the city!"

In an instant, the messenger conveyed the order of the garrison commander to the ears of all the soldiers guarding the city on the wall of Jinan Prefecture.

At this moment, Wu Sanjia's rough face finally showed a smug smile.
