Chapter 256: Marry the beauty.
Wei Ning hesitated for a long time before he said, "The first plan is too hasty, and the last plan is too slow. I think the middle plan is the best."
"If we fall into the trap, Kuai Qu and others will soon notice it and will definitely take action."
Ye Kun saw the situation clearly and said:
"I will bid farewell to Lord Wei immediately, return to Shuangya Mountain, mobilize troops, unite with Shangguan Jifu, and cooperate with the eldest master's actions!"
In fact, Ye Kun was very worried that if he didn’t leave now, he would not be able to leave!
Once Kuai Qu raises his army, he will not let me go.
Because Kuai Qu and Wei Kang both felt that it was Ye Kun who made the slander and helped the eldest son to succeed in taking the throne.
In fact, it was Ye Kun who changed Wei Dingshan's opinion of the second son and changed his mind about passing the throne to his second son.
Last year, Ye Kun killed Lu Biao and Shangguan Shunan in Jingzhou, which made the second son Wei Kang lose face. From that time on, Wei Dingshan knew that this second son could not accomplish anything!
The eldest son Wei Ning, now listening to Ye Kun's words, nodded immediately and said:
"My dear brother, Changsha's safety depends on you. As long as you support me, even if Kuai Qu rebels, I can crush him."
Ye Kun nodded and agreed to say goodbye tomorrow and return to Shuangya Mountain.
That afternoon, Ye Kun sent a pigeon to ask Shuangyashan to prepare troops and come to pick him up.
During dinner, Ye Kun consulted with Wei Caiqin and whispered:
"Caiqin, the situation in Changsha City is not right. I think Kuai Qu will cause trouble, so we have to leave as soon as possible and return to Shuangya Mountain to prepare."
Wei Caiqin was surprised: "Brother Ye, since Kuai Qu will cause trouble, we can't leave. We should stay and help father and brother..."
"Your father was a great man, stubborn and will not listen to our advice." Ye Kun shook his head and said:
"I have discussed this with your eldest brother. He can guarantee the safety of Changsha City and your father. I will go back to mobilize troops to deal with the upcoming Kuai Qu rebellion."
Wei Caiqin thought about it and finally nodded: "Okay, let's go to Shuangya Mountain first and make a decision based on the situation."
Ye Kun said, "We should do it sooner rather than later. Caiqin, we will go and say goodbye to your father tonight and tell him that there is a report from Chengdu that the gentry have made unusual moves and I need to rush back to deal with them immediately. We will return to Shuangya Mountain tomorrow morning!"
"Okay, I'll change my clothes and go with you to see father."
Wei Caiqin did not dare to delay and immediately changed her clothes and went to see her father with Ye Kun.
Wei Dingshan had already gone to bed. When he heard that his daughter and son-in-law wanted to see him, he had no choice but to get up and meet them. He asked:
"My dear son-in-law, you came to see me late at night. Is there something urgent?"
Ye Kun bowed and said, "I received an urgent report from Chengdu that the local gentry in Chengdu have made unusual moves. I must rush back to deal with it immediately. I plan to leave early tomorrow morning. Please allow me, father-in-law."
"Are you leaving in such a hurry?" Wei Dingshan frowned and sighed:
"Qin'er is your wife, and she will go with you. But my body... I don't know if I can see Qin'er again in the future..."
"Father!" Wei Caiqin knelt on the ground and cried:
"I will go to Chengdu and pay my respects to my mother-in-law, then return immediately to serve my father. Please take care of yourself."
Wei Dingshan also had tears in his eyes and smiled to comfort his daughter:
"It's okay. I'm old and I might still be able to live another three to five years. I'll just wait for you to come back."
Ye Kun was worried that the situation might change, so he said no more and took Wei Caiqin back to Panshui Pavilion to make arrangements immediately.
The accompanying scouts have already started their investigation and reported to Ye Kun:
"In Kuai Qu's mansion, officials and generals are constantly coming and going, and the garrison outside the city is also moving. It seems that the second young master will take action soon."
"Pack your luggage overnight and leave early tomorrow morning!"
Ye Kun gave the order.
The next morning, Ye Kun led the team to set off.
Ye Kun did not take any jewelry, brocade, gold or silver. He only took dry food, weapons and military equipment, and the whole group traveled light.
The eldest son opened the city gate and escorted him out of the west gate five miles away.
Ye Kun clasped his fists and said, "Young Master, you must hurry back to deploy your defenses. From now on, everyone must stay on guard and be ready for battle. A great chaos will soon come!"
"Brother, I am waiting for your good news!"
Wei Ning bowed and said goodbye.
Ye Kun led the team onto the main road and gave the order: "Move towards Shuangya Mountain at full speed. We must reach Shuangya Mountain tonight!"
Five hundred light cavalry protected the convoy and advanced at full speed.
But less than an hour later, a scout from the rear came on horseback to report: "Master Ye, the second son Wei Kang has come with several thousand soldiers and horses, saying that he wants to see you off!"
"He came to kill me, how could he be seeing me off?"
Ye Kun sneered and asked, "How many soldiers did he bring?"
"At least three thousand, all light cavalry!"
"Then we can't defeat..."
Ye Kun was familiar with the terrain here and gave the order: "Speed up and rush through the mountain pass ahead, leave a few carriages and food supplies on fire, block the mountain pass and stop the enemy!"
Wei Caiqin still didn't believe it, and frowned, "Don't worry, Brother Ye. Although my second brother is arrogant, he definitely doesn't dare to kill us."
Ye Kun smiled slightly: "That being said, it's better to be careful."
The Second Young Master led his troops to chase after you, which means that Kuai Qu has already started a rebellion, but he still doesn't dare to kill you?
At this time, even if Wei Dingshan stood here, Wei Kang, the grandson, would kill his father and seize power without hesitation!
They rode their horses at full speed, and rushed across the mountain pass, leaving behind seven or eight carriages and some firewood, which they set alight.
The flames were blazing, blocking the mountain pass.
Wei Kang led his troops to chase them and ordered his men to force their way through.
Tan Bamao shouted, "Godfather, you take godmother and go first. I will take a hundred brothers with me to stop that bastard Wei Kang!"
"Okay, hold on for a while, then evacuate up the mountain and find a place to hide. The reinforcements from Shuangya Mountain will arrive soon!"
Ye Kun left eighteen pulley crossbows and one hundred soldiers to Tan Bamao.
Tan Bamao seized the high ground on both sides of the mountain pass and used the terrain advantage to block Wei Kang's army.
Ye Kun and the others fled for their lives, like a lost dog...
Wei Kang came with great force and finally broke through Tan Bamao's obstruction and continued to chase and kill.
But Ye Kun gained twenty minutes and had fled westward for more than ten miles.
Ahead was a pass called Tiexian Pass, which was guarded by a hundred Changsha troops.
Wei Caiqin rode forward and shouted, "Open the door, I am Wei Caiqin, the third son of Jingzhou!"
Because Wei Caiqin often went out to play and hunt, the general guarding the pass recognized her and quickly opened the gate.
Ye Kun and others rushed over, tied up the general guarding the pass without any hesitation, and took control of Tiexian Pass.
Just as he was taking a breath, Wei Kang arrived with his army and shouted at the gate: "Wei Kang, the second son of Jingzhou, is here. Close the gate and open it quickly!"
Ye Kun waved his hand and a volley of arrows was fired.
Wei Kang dodged hastily, but an arrow had already hit his arm.
Seven or eight of the soldiers and generals around him were killed.
Ye Kun stood at the gate and said loudly: "Second brother, after sending you a thousand miles away, there will always be a farewell. Now that I have married a beautiful woman, I have fulfilled my wish. You can send her here."
"Ye thief, you despicable villain!"
Wei Kang cursed loudly from below, shouting: "You alienated us brothers and instigated us to kill each other. Today I will tear you into pieces!"
Another wave of arrows came from Guan Shang, forcing Wei Kang to retreat again and again.
Wei Caiqin stood beside Ye Kun and shouted at Guan Xia: "Second brother, my wife and I left Changsha and have already said goodbye to our father. Why are you leading troops to chase us?"
