July of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Chang'an.

The stars hang down the plains, and the moon swells on the river.

"Where did the Tian family order you to send this palace?"

"King Qi ordered the end to escort His Royal Highness out of the city and go straight to Xihangu Pass. ”

In the direction of Hangu Pass, it is where the 250,000 Tuntian garrisons are located.

Could it be that my uncle also thinks that the tiger talisman is not as good as a face in this palace?

Bengong sneered: "Hangu Pass is one hundred and fifty miles away, Wei Zhong really thinks that you can rely on this group of hooligans to send Bengong there safely?"

As soon as this statement came out, it exploded underneath.

"Your grandfather is a big family, when was he a hooligan?!"

"Huangkou Xiaoer, I don't know your grandfather's military family, so I made a correction!"

"Isn't the ancestor of this dynasty also a hooligan! Look at your grandfather and me, ......"

Bengong looked at the hall coldly, and said in a deep voice: "The grandfather of Bengong is Emperor Xiaowen of the Great Zhou. ”

The noise subsided.

"Emperor Xiaowen opened the territory to the north, and the south was Baiyue, and when he waved his sword to the west, he died of a violent illness, and his life was only fifty-two years old. In that year, the six armies of Emperor Xiaowen swept through the United States, and the army was cleaned up, and the order was unhindered. Look at yourselves, aren't you a rabble compared to back then?"

Pei Huan obviously didn't know how to react.

Bengong continued: "Emperor Xiaowen's generation, Hejian Zhao Fengguo, Wu Chu Chen Anguo, and Yanshan Sima Yue have all made great military achievements, and they have been awarded the title of marquis, and there are 30,000 households in the city. And in this dynasty, even Zhao Xiang, who was in power for a while, only ate more than 10,000 households, do you know why?"

The bottom was indignant.

"There is more than one Zhao Xiang in the Zhao Banchao, if those marquis add up, maybe the Zhao family will already exceed 30,000 households. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that there was no war, Lao Tzu would have listened to a yellow-mouthed boy here!"

"Is the world now comparable to the world of Emperor Wen? Lao Tzu is also a Hanoi family, and he lives in ........."

"Because the Great Zhou is in decline!" said Hongu.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked.

"Your Highness, don't ......" The female official quietly pulled the palace. "There must be someone over there observing the East Palace today, why should Your Highness ......?"

"The Northern Netherlands, Vladivostok, and Crescent Grasslands, more than 3,000 miles in length and breadth, have all been annexed by Rouran! Of the sixty-three cities in Xiliang, only twenty-three of them are in the hands of the Great Zhou! Yes, twenty-five years ago, Shu came to attach, and since then 100,000 mountains and rivers have been included in the territory of the Great Zhou, but the Great Zhou has not actually controlled the land in Shu! The administration, taxation, and military service of Shu County are all not under the jurisdiction of the Chongyuan Palace!"

Hongu's voice became louder and louder, and it shook his ears and buzzed.

"You also say that you are a family, but how is the family doing? There are less than a hundred of the four hundred and thirty-six families left in the "Clan Chronicles" now!"

"What does this have to do with us! The border gate can't be guarded, the emperor wants to be friendly, is it up to us to decide?" someone shouted below.

"Okay, it has nothing to do with you, it's all Chang'an Xungui who has no backbone!But what about now?" The blood in the palace was boiling, and he almost heard his own heartbeat, "King Qi asked you to send the palace out of Chang'an and send it directly to Hangu Pass, one hundred and fifty miles away!

The hall was silent.

"Use your brains!Think about why!" Hongu shouted to the bottom.

"They all want to catch you!

Pei Huan suddenly turned his head and glared angrily at the direction of the voice, and the person who made the voice couldn't help but lower his head. But more earnest whispers rang out:

"If you really say that, isn't this trip a death?"

"Otherwise, just hand over this prince, we can't ...... it."

"Yes, after handing over this prince and dividing his concubines and treasures, let's go away and fly high!"

"You can hand over this palace," this palace endured the severe pain in his skull, the buzzing in his ears became louder, and he could no longer hear other sounds, "After handing it over, you also lost the only surviving bargaining chip!"

"Let the palace guess, you can break into the East Palace in the middle of the night, which means that the palace city has been broken and the King of Qi has withdrawn his troops!

It's a pity that Hongu actually fell asleep at this time. Now is not the time for the mother concubine and Zhao Gou to help the palace make decisions, but the palace is sleeping here!

"Since the King of Qi is gone, and he needs the palace to go to Hangu Pass, why don't he come and pick up the palace himself? Why send a team of recruits who have just been formed and have not even established the prestige of the main general to escort the palace?"

The time will not come, and the palace has lost a chance to seize the initiative.

"The king of Qi wants to borrow the hands of the princes to kill the palace, and you are just a funeral team!"

This palace, even if it is for the sake of the mother concubine, for the lady who is in charge of the lamp under the seat, she must not die here!

"Whether you hand over the palace or not, there is only one way to die for you. The princes are not stupid, they will definitely understand King Qi's plan when they see you, and when the time comes, they will never bear the charge of killing the king in vain, and they will definitely frame you and then destroy you all!"

"Why did King Qi do this!" someone shouted.

Good, good. Some people questioned that Hongu's plan was half the battle.

"Why does King Qi want Bengong to die, it is precisely because Bengong is a vice-monarch!" Bengong clenched his fists, trying to suppress the tremors all over his body.

"The Great Zhou is the Great Zhou of the palace, as long as the palace is there, the king of Qi has no reason to fight for the world! But as soon as the palace dies, these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains will become a borderless land, and when the time comes, naturally whoever is strong and strong will be replaced as the king!"

"This palace said before that the Great Zhou is in decline, and it can't afford to raise so many Wanhu Hou. ”

"There are not so many opportunities to add officials to ordinary people, and even the family is decreasing. ”

"But a generation has the spirit of a generation, are you willing to be subordinate to others all your life, humble and poor all your life? At this moment, Chang'an is in chaos, and all the great families are confused and uneasy, but for us, it is a great opportunity! Heaven will send you to this palace, and the great glory of Emperor Xiaowen will finally reappear in the hands of this palace!"

Hongu used the last of his strength to roar hoarsely:

"Is it to be the dry bones on the road to the throne of King Qi?"

"Or do you want to be the marquis of Wanhu in the main palace?"

"Becoming a king or defeating a villain, a thought in this!"

Pei Huan frowned. It seems that he has heard the flaws in Hongu's words. Very good. This shows that he is indeed a general.

The rest of the soldiers did not have Pei Huan's keen insight, and everyone looked at each other, as if they couldn't make up their minds.

After the yell, Bengong gasped slightly, his eyes swept over the group of people who didn't even have uniforms, and finally locked his eyes on Pei Huan.

"Majesty. Bengong tried to imagine him as Zhao Gou, and said in the tone of Zhao Gou, "Bengong is safe, and I will entrust it to you from now on." ”

Pei Huan lived up to the expectations of the palace. He was stunned for only a moment, then knelt down with his fists clenched, and the armor of his body hit a penetrating muffled sound:

"The minister swears to follow His Highness to the death!"

People continued to kneel down in the hall, and the voices became louder and louder.

"Swear to follow Your Highness to the death!"

"Swear to follow Your Highness to the death!"

"Swear to follow Your Highness to the death!"

The female official looked at the palace worriedly: "Your Highness, these people are just a group of young people who chase fame and fortune, since they can sell their lives for the promises you give, they can also betray you for the benefits given by others." ”

Hongu was a little unsteady on his feet, so he took her hand.

"The gentleman tempts him to be righteous, and the villain seduces him to profit. Hongu whispered.

When the female official heard Hongu say this, she was finally a little relieved, and her hands relaxed.

If the finger is soft, Xun is beautiful and different.

This is the only way this palace can protect you now.

Hongu looked at the group of people below, and the expressions on their faces made people mistakenly think that they were going to be crowned marquis tomorrow.

In the frenzy, Pei Huan looked back at the palace quietly, which was the eyes of the eagle falcon in the flock.

The main palace was planning the next sentence, and a loud noise suddenly broke out in the east palace.

Before everyone came to their senses, the explosions were heard one after another, getting closer and closer, and the fire was almost reflected in the Yuanhe Palace.

Hongu's heart was cold: the sound of artillery fire. Hongu actually forgot the armory!

There was chaos in the Yuanhe Palace.

"Thunder, thunder!" Someone seemed to be frightened by the loud noise, and fled backwards from the temple.

Artillery fire is not often used, and the people only see the firecrackers used to celebrate during the New Year, and its sound is not as loud as the artillery fire at this moment.

The palace remembers that three or four years ago, when the northwest was in an emergency, someone proposed to transport artillery fire to Liangzhou in the northwest to resist Rouran, but was vetoed by his father.

Wang Taifu used this to test the school students, and everyone naturally agreed with his father's proposition, the so-called "artillery does not go out of Chang'an".

In addition to the main palace, there is also Prince Shen.

The palace was still young at that time, but I just felt that there was no need for such a sharp weapon, and it was simply a tyrannical thing.

Prince Shen just smiled at that time.

It was not until long after Prince Shen's death that the palace figured out what he meant by laughing at that time. The Zhao family in the northwest is here, and the artillery is not allowed to leave Chang'an.

Pei Huan's face was pale and looked like a yaksha.

"Soldiers listen to my orders!" he pulled out the bloody silver sword at his waist and raised it above his head, "With this sword as the boundary, the sword will step forward to enter the hall on the left, ten people in a column, ready to standby!"

"The sword right and back exit the hall, in a group of three, kill the enemy with me!"

Bengong followed his words and shouted: "Those who kill ten enemies will enter the centurion! Those who kill a hundred enemies will become the captain! Meritorious deeds will be the first for everyone, and ten thousand households will be sealed!"

The female official was really frightened and grabbed the palace: "Your Highness!

When the people on the left side of the sword heard this, they shouted: "Let's go and kill the enemy too!"

Bengong intercepted their words: "The left of the sword is personally commanded by Bengong, and Rao goes to the East Palace to copy the other party!"

At this time, even Pei Huan disagreed: "Your Highness, the ministers are covering ......."

Hongu Xin said that he was covering a fart, and since the other party dared to move out the artillery, it meant that the other party had no intention of keeping a living mouth at all. But the position of the artillery strike is little by little close to the Yuanhe Temple, which shows three points:

First, the other party didn't know where the palace was, but just after hearing the noise of the crowd, he knew that the palace was in the Yuanhe Palace, which was the farthest away from the palace gate.

Second, the opponent is not familiar with the operation of artillery, so it is necessary to adjust the position of the strike. In other words, it is not a well-equipped, well-trained, or well-armed guard.

Third, the number of the other party is not large! And hesitated, worried that there was fraud here in the palace! Otherwise, just like the team of miscellaneous soldiers and wild generals in front of him, he rushed into the East Palace and arrested the palace, so why use artillery!

These considerations flashed through his mind in a flash of lightning, and Hongu had no time to explain them to others.

"Sword Left Generals!" The palace took the long sword in the female official's hand, pointed to the palace gate and said: "The new monarch of the Great Zhou is here! God bless my dynasty, and I am invincible!"
