Yang Pingfan and Huo Qubing looked at each other, their eyes were clear, "You and I said goodbye last time, you were only seventeen years old, and you began to go out of the army, out of control, with great achievements, chasing Wei Qing, that is, your mother's younger brother, your own uncle Wei Qing, it is undeniable that Wei Qing is very good at fighting, but you are more warlike and younger than him, having such two generals who can fight is the blessing of the Han Dynasty, but not the blessing of the emperor." ”

Ordinary people may not understand this, but people who are old in power struggles will understand it as soon as they hear it.

What's more, it is the two blood relatives of the nephew and uncle who are in charge of almost the entire army of the Han Dynasty, the current emperor Liu Che has lived in the whirlpool of power struggles since he was a child, he understands the truth too well, Wei Qing is Huo Quai's people are all members of the Wei family, and his queen Wei Zifu gave birth to a son, his relatives interfered in politics, and the aftermath was endless, and the strength of the Wei family expanded too rapidly, so that it threatened the imperial power, so the existence of Huo Qu's disease is a blessing for the country, but not a royal blessing.

Yang Pingfan continued: "So the emperor deliberately vigorously supported you, using your young personality to compete with Wei Qing everywhere, and supported you to become another force in order to compete with the Wei clan. ”

Huo Quzhi finally spoke, and he smiled sadly: "What Wei clan is, it's just a group of slaves in Princess Pingyang's mansion. ”

This is true, the Wei family is all the slaves of Princess Pingyang, Huo Quai's mother Wei Shao'er is a maid, Wei Qing is a slave, and the current queen Wei Zifu is a dancing girl deliberately cultivated by the princess to be sent to the palace to please the emperor, but I didn't expect that the investment has achieved a huge return, Wei Zifu actually became the queen, Wei Zifu's son is very likely to become the prince, and the people of the Wei family are also very competitive, Wei Young Ji gently led the army to expedition to Monan, and even fought successfully, and now there is a more capable Huo Quai, the Wei family is no longer a slave, and the strength of the Wei family has actually surpassed Princess Pingyang。

Yang Pingfan shook his head and continued: "The Wei clan is just a title, in the final analysis, it is an interest group, Princess Pingyang is also an important person in this group, they are both prosperous and lossy, and in two years, when this concubine dies, Princess Pingyang will marry your uncle Wei Qing, if you die now, you will not be able to eat their happy wine." ”

"The princess is married to a former riding slave?"

Huo Quzhi sneered in disbelief, but his smile became more and more stiff, because the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter could definitely be done with Princess Pingyang's temper.

"The emperor wants to use you to divide and balance the power of the Wei family, but unfortunately he missees you, you are a military general, not good at politics/ Struggle, but this is not up to you, the generals under Wei Qing's command have taken refuge in your account, because it is easier to fight with you to be a marquis, and the emperor also favors you more, and slowly you have the possibility of replacing Wei Qing, so the Wei family regards you as an enemy, although in fact they are your relatives, but in the power struggle, father and son cannibalism, brother walls are commonplace, not to mention the so-called relatives, and you feel this hostility, the first thing you think of is to try your best to please them, so you risk your life to the emperor to make a statement, asking the princes to be divided out, so that Wei Zifu's son can smoothly inherit the unification, this matter made the emperor very disappointed, and no longer trust you。 ”

Huo Qu's illness is like sitting on pins and needles, just the attendants went upstairs to send wine and food, the time was in a hurry, the kitchen only bought cold dishes, the raw cut fish stewed on the gold plate, the knife work is very good, the raw fish meat is cut into thin strips, it looks like white vermicelli as crystal clear, plus tempeh, rice vinegar, clear sauce, coriander, garlic, shallots, the mixture is delicious, the wine is a low-degree rice wine, packed with copper jue, sweet and refreshing.

The Han Dynasty implemented a food sharing system, each person set a small table in front of them, each eating their own, not interfering with each other, the attendants were waiting on the side, helping to pour wine or something, Huo Quzhi waved them back, and continued the topic just now.

Yang Pingfan took a chopstick and tasted the shredded fish, nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

Go on. ”

Huo Qu said sickly, he didn't move his chopsticks, and he had no appetite.

"The Wei interest group actually attacked you a long time ago, but you don't know it, do you remember killing Li Kang?"

Huo Quzhi's face was gloomy, of course he remembered this, Li Dang was Li Guang's son, because Li Guang committed suicide and complained about Wei Qing, so that he killed and injured Wei Qing, he didn't know about this until a certain hunting in Ganquan Palace, someone secretly told himself, Huo Quai's young hero, he didn't rub sand in his eyes, his temper was extremely short-tempered, and his feelings for his uncle Wei Qing were very good, he immediately became murderous, and shot Li Kang in front of everyone without hesitation.

This can poke the hornet's nest, who is Li Dang, he is the Marquis of Guannei, Lang Zhongling, the official rank is very high, the Li family is also a big family, how can he say that he will kill it, although this matter was later suppressed by the emperor, but it has a fatal blow to Huo Quzhi's reputation.

"Others only know your glamorous appearance, don't know your inner suffering, you are a general, but you are not the heart of the army, your subordinates are all Hun generals, only recognize gold and silver and do not recognize people, you are a great Sima, but there are no allies in the court, only enemies, they will not give you advice, only dig traps for you, you are the son of the Wei family, but they treat you as an enemy, you have been a fatherless child since you were a child, your mother remarried, she did not take enough care of you, you lack family affection, so that you treat the Huo family as a relative, you once won the trust of the emperor, but you were suspicious of him, you are only twenty-four years old, you should not go through these troubles。 ”

Yang Pingfan said, raised his glass and drank it all, and looked at the sword: "So you plan to commit suicide, your death will satisfy everyone." ”

Huo Quzhi didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

"Die, after you die, Liu Che's old boy will send a national Xuanjia soldier to give you a funeral, and build your mausoleum as majestic as Qilian Mountain, you will leave your name in the history books and become the most warlike general in a thousand years, but are you willing?"

"What can it be?"

Huo Quzhi smiled desperately, picked up the wine, drank it all, and drank it so violently that he coughed violently.

"If I take you to a place, it's not very peaceful, the Central Plains is swinging, Shenzhou Lu is sinking, there are demons everywhere, no one knows you there, there is no emperor, there is no Wei family, you are a common man, everything has to start from scratch, lead a group of demons to defeat another group of demons, and you may die at any time, are you willing?"

"I do!"

Huo Quzhi did not hesitate at all, although the place that Yang Pingfan said sounded like a ghost domain, but for him who was trapped in the power struggle and struggling, it was no less than a heavenly existence, he would rather fight with the demon to the death than slowly suffocate in the power struggle.

Huo Quzhi, who was still a patient with severe depression just now, stood up excitedly and kicked over the table.

"That's good, clean, I like it, you come with me. ”

Yang Pingfan got up and pulled Huo Quai's arm, kicked the sword up with a hook of his toes, took it in his hand, flew out of the window, and rose, and several waiters downstairs holding roast mutton raised their heads in shock, witnessing Da Sima being taken by the immortals to soar in the day.

In September of the sixth year of Yuanzhen, the news of Huo Qu's death came out, the language was unknown, and the entire court was relieved, as Yang Pingfan said, Huo Qu's death would satisfy everyone, and no one investigated the cause of his death, including his mother Wei Shao'er, and the whole Chang'an was happily arranging the funeral of the hussar general.

At this time, Huo Qubing had not yet left the Han Dynasty, he and his teacher observed his funeral in the air, and sure enough, as Yang Pingfan said, Emperor Liu Che seemed grief-stricken, and ordered the dispatch of the Xuanjia Army of the Five Counties, arranged from the long to Maoling, the specifications were grand, and the momentum was so great that he couldn't help but sigh at the distortion of human nature, if they were really reluctant, why should they force themselves to death.

——

Huo Qubing was stolen to the base time and space by Yang Pingfan, with the endorsement of the Recoverer, the demons temporarily recognized his position as a commander, Yang Pingfan retreated to the background, served as the nominal commander, and made other things with his core team, Huo Qubing saw that the master did not fool himself, and sure enough, he let himself command a group of demons, without the slightest discomfort, and quickly entered the role.

He first divided the demon army into three parts, appointed Dr. Leonard and Zuo Ci as the left and right generals respectively, each commanding a force, commanding the Chinese army himself, using Thebes as a base, and began to wage war against the gods of this time and space.

Of course, there were twists and turns in the matter, among the demons who were living in this time and space, there were also those who didn't want to fight and wanted to go back, Yang Pingfan's answer was very simple, the gate of time and space needed to be charged to open again, and they didn't have this ability at present, only by defeating the Protoss and seizing their resource points and machines, when the time came, would they go back and continue to be a dog in the garbage heap, or stay in this time and space to live, and stay at will.

As soon as these words came out, the other demons saw a huge opportunity after calming down, and they could only be a dog when they returned to the baseline time and space, in this time and space, they could be masters with their abilities, and if they could defeat the Protoss, they could even replace them, and when the time came......

The minds of the demons are unified!

The demon army of unified minds under the command of the trio began to attack, attacking the stronghold of the Protoss.

The demons are all brave and ruthless in the base time and space, and none of those who dare to participate in the survival game are good stubbles, and they have a large number of weapons snatched from the base time and space suppression forces, and they are completely outlaws with explosive combat effectiveness.

On the other hand, on the side of the Protoss, since they were disconnected from the baseline space, most of them are indulged in pleasure and do not want to make progress, and the weapons in the hands of the army are still freaks combining steampunk and cold weapons, after all, no one can threaten them, with these weapons and crushing mortals' physical fitness and superpowers, it is enough to complete the task of maintaining stability.

Such an armed force has no power to fight back against the demon forces at all.

Although the demon army is not large, the total number of the three armies is less than 10,000, but it is invincible, and the momentum is like a bamboo, breaking through the strongholds of the Protoss on the Mediterranean coast one by one, and the troops are divided into three ways to advance towards the lair of the Protoss.

The three-way army adjusted its march route, Huo Qubing and the high command led the left army to attack Atlantis, Dr. Leonard led the Chinese army to attack northern Europe, and Zuo Ci's right army attacked Greece.

Atlantis is a large island, if you want to attack, you can only attack it from the sea, naval battle is not Huo Qu's disease, Yang Pingfan personally went out, recalled the tactics of Zheng He's navy to annihilate the European navy, showed the enemy weak, feigned defeat, attracted the Atlantean navy to the depths of the ocean, and then concentrated sea and air firepower for ambush.

The Steampunk Air Force of the Protoss was completely destroyed by the demons' modern air combat weapons and anti-aircraft fire at the beginning of the war, and lost the dominance of the sky, and the Atlantean Navy was completely annihilated in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean in grief and unwillingness.

The demon navy approached the main island, then washed the ground with heavy artillery, and bombarded the beachhead resistance army into the sky, and the demons advanced by land and air, landed in Atlantis, and began to advance inland.
