The next day, the sun was shining.

Luoyang City.

Nangong.

On the top of a solemn side hall, Sikong Yuan Feng, Taiwei Lu Zhi, and Wang Yun, who had just been appointed as Situ, knelt on the top of the seat, and Yuan Shu and Ding Yuan stood side by side on the left and right, and Huangfu Lian, the chief general of the Southern Army Guard, also stood gloomily in front.

At this moment, everyone's expressions were very gloomy.

"Mu Longtu actually intercepted the Prince's Association?" After a long time, Yuan Feng raised his head, his eyes were like electricity, flashing cold, and he squinted at Yuan Shu: "Highway, you have disappointed your father, and it is difficult for the court to be disappointed!" ”

Now this court is a leaderless court, the Son of Heaven has just died, it is already difficult to control, the civil and military officials are all brilliant, even if they press hard, it is difficult to suppress the hearts of the people, after all, they are only courtiers, not kings.

Only when the royal family comes forward can it be possible to stabilize the situation, but the current situation is that the crown prince Liu Wei is now in the hands of He Jin, and it is more difficult to take it back.

Therefore, the Prince's Association is their last bargaining chip.

They poured all their troops into intercepting and killing the Ten Standing Attendants, just to regain this bargaining chip, so that they could regain control of the court and stabilize the court.

But now, they have lost this chip.

Now the situation has become very embarrassing, these people occupy the center of Luoyang City, and in the eyes of the people of the world as the orthodox name of the imperial court, they are a little vain, because they have no loyal monarch.

The imperial court must have a monarch, whether it is for the Son of Heaven or the prince to be on the throne, this is the foundation that can stabilize the people's hearts.

"Lord Sikong, your subordinates know their mistakes!"

When Yuan Shu heard this, he hurriedly knelt down, not even daring to call his father, but called Lord Sikong tremblingly.

This battle was a miserable defeat.

also made his Yuan Shu's prestige plummet, and even made him finally use the Tiger Ben Zhonglang with the support of his father Yuan Feng to establish the Tiger Ben Army, which was also in turmoil.

He was ruthless.

But he was also afraid, afraid of his father's scolding, and afraid that the court would take him responsible.

"What the hell is going on?"

Yuan Feng asked coldly: "Tell the ministers about the matter from beginning to end." ”

"Report to Lord Sikong, we have already recaptured the Imperial Prince's Association from the hands of the Ten Standing Servants, but I didn't expect Mu Jing to ambush the troops halfway, intercept and kill, defeat my Tiger Army, and intercept the Imperial Prince's Association!"

Yuan Shu said it briefly.

"The Praetorian Guards can't stop Mu Jing from leaving the city, the old man knows, but even if Mu Jing goes out of the valley gate, how can he enter the mountain road in the northwest direction, which makes the old man a little strange!" Situ Wang Yun opened his mouth quietly.

"It's my fault!"

Ding Yuan spoke calmly.

"Jijingo?" The eyes of several people suddenly looked at Ding Yuan.

Ding Yuan said carefully at this time: "After a certain family received the letter from Luoyang, they began to transfer their troops, marched to the east, and tried to intercept Mu Jing halfway, that night, I had already encountered the soldiers and horses under Mu Jing's command, trembling, and was thrown off by him, I naturally followed closely behind, biting him to death, but ......"

A not-so-good memory welled up in his mind, and his fingers clenched tightly.

"I was taken around the mountain for a day!"

Ding Yuan indifferently touched this part of the battle, and said softly: "Failure to respond to Yuan Gongzi's soldiers and horses in time will lead to a great defeat in this battle, not only did he not intercept Mu Jing, but he also took away the prince's association!" ”

"I'm afraid there are a lot of soldiers and horses that can deal with you!" Lu Zhidao.

"On the contrary, his soldiers and horses are only hundreds, even if there are less than a thousand, but I am defeated, for a whole day, let him lead the nose, but he can't keep him, and he has lost nearly a thousand sons under his command, so that the vitality of the Jin Wuti cavalry is greatly damaged!" Ding Yuan said self-deprecatingly.

"Brother Jianyang, you have made great achievements in the grasslands of Northern Xinjiang, making the Xiongnu Xianbei frightened and rarely defeated, who can make you suffer such a big loss!"

Lu Zhi frowned.

Others don't know Ding Yuan, he is also a general in the army, how can he not know Ding Yuan's strength, this person has been guarding and merging the state for many years, and the state is the place where the Xiongnu went south and Xianbei hit the grass valley, and fought every year.

Ding Yuan was able to protect the peace of the state and defend the northern frontier of the imperial court, whether it was martial arts or the level of leading troops, he was not under himself.

"A young man!"

Ding Yuan said: "Yingchuan drama, drama Zhicai!" ”

After this defeat, he naturally wanted to inquire clearly who the person who could defeat him was, but the news he could inquire about made him a little unbelievable, a kid who had just come out of the world was really ironic.

"Xi Zhicai?" Wang Yun squinted, and his voice was slightly cold: "The former seal supervision order, quite famous among Shilin, and even more famous in Yingchuan, born in a poor family, but his talent is extraordinary, he is a rising star in Shilin!" ”

"None of that matters anymore!"

Yuan Feng interrupted everyone's words and said coldly: "Mushan is here, how should we deal with it!" ”

Mushan's vanguard army has appeared in the suburbs of the city less than fifty miles away from Luoyang, and once Mushan's main army arrives in Luoyang, the pressure on Luoyang City will become more and more great.

"Lord Sikong, rest assured, even if Mushan rushes to Luoyang, he won't dare to be too presumptuous!" Ding Yuan arched his hand and said: "My state army has gone south in the starry night, and the tens of thousands of elites located in the Shangdang will enter Luoyang within three days!" ”

"This is Luoyang after all!"

Lu Zhi pondered for a while, and said: "Once the fight starts in Luoyang, it will inevitably cause the world to interrupt, and a certain family tends to solve the problem through peace talks!" ”

"Peace talks?"

Everyone's eyes were a little deep.

"How do we talk about it?" Yuan Feng frowned and looked at Lu Zhi.

"The holy decree has been issued, and now I am afraid that it is in his hands, the name of his Taifu has been spread to the world, and he still has the holy decree of King Qin in his hand, just when He Jin killed the king, he raised troops into Beijing, then it is reasonable, and the world agrees!"

Lu Zhi said decently: "The imperial court has no reason to use troops against him, now that Mu Jing has seized the Prince's Association, he must have the Prince's Association as a bargaining chip in his hand, if he is in a hurry, I am afraid that he will be coerced by the Emperor's Association and retreat to Nanyang, supplemented by his accession to the throne, then the imperial court will be divided, this is not the result we want to see!" ”

King Mushan Qin is not without roots.

Mu Jing has done a lot of things in the capital these months, the marquis of Xi'e Township, the official position of a prince, and the holy decree of the king in his hands, and now there is the prince association as the monarch, the division is famous, there are soldiers in his hands, and he is fully capable of fighting a war with the imperial court.

"What if he doesn't want to talk?" Wang Yundao.

"Then fight!"

Lu Zhilang said: "My Han has gone through wind and rain, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, swept most of the world, how dangerous it is, it can be calmed, just Nanyang Mushan, why can't it be leveled!" ”

The two glanced at each other, and their eyes turned to look at Yuan Feng.

In today's imperial court, among the three dukes, Sikong is the mainstay, and hundreds of officials are respected.

"Good!"

Yuan Feng compromised, he knew that he couldn't not compromise, because the situation was like this, he thought about it, and said: "If you want us to recognize him, you can also send someone to talk to him, since he has the name of King Qin, he should have the merit of King Qin, destroy the rebellious He Jin, regain the prince, and return to the court, the court will recognize him as the prince!" ”

"That's fine!"

Lu Zhi and Wang Yun nodded.

First, you can test Makiyama's loyalty.

Second, you can consume the strength of the Nanyang Army.

Third, it can also combat the arrogance of the rebellious minister He Jin.

Kill three birds with one stone.

"Who can talk?" Yuan Feng asked.

"The Imperial Historian is upright, courageous, strategic, and brave, he can enter the den of the tiger and wolf, and he should be an envoy!" Wang Yun thought for a while and said.

"Good!"

Yuan Feng nodded: "Come on, immediately summon the Imperial Doctor Shi to enter the palace!" ”

"No!"

Outside the side hall, a soldier went to give orders.

……

……

A day later, in the afternoon, it was already evening, and the sunset reflected red, reflecting twenty miles away on the outskirts of Luoyang, which was a plain, and on the plain, tents were camped for several miles.

The main account of the Chinese army.

Above the main tent, under one side, the battle flag embroidered with words was erected, facing the slight spring breeze, and the hunting sounded.

In the main tent, the commander of the Seventh Battalion of the Violent Bear and the commander of the Yellow Turban Army all gathered.

Mushan Tiger carried the bear's waist, sat cross-legged on a high position, there was a touch of coldness in his expression, his voice was like thunder, his expression was as hideous as a black bear hunting for food, and he said coldly: "Tan Zong, have you found Jing'er?" “

"Report to the lord, not for the time being!"

Tan Zong shook his head: "The news of Luoyang came back, on the night of He Jin's killing of the king, the young master suddenly led his troops to break through and killed Luoyang, he went to the north and entered the Beibi Mountain, but after entering the Beibi area, he disappeared, the news of the Beibi battlefield, the court is sealed, I am still inquiring, please rest assured, I will find the whereabouts of the young master!" ”

"Find!"

Mu Shan said coldly: "No matter how many people a certain family sends, you must know Jing'er's whereabouts, if Jing'er is lost, I will let Luoyang City bleed!" ”

He received the order in March, all the way north, did not dare to delay half a minute, in the name of King Qin, invincible, but there was an interception, immediately waved the army to tear it apart, did not hesitate to kill, just hope to rush to Luoyang one day earlier.

But after arriving in Luoyang, he still felt a little finished.

"Don't worry, lord!"

In the gloomy atmosphere, as the first military under Mushan, Jiang Lu slowly stood up, bowed his hand to Mushan, and comforted in a deep voice: "The young master has always been shrewd, he plans and then acts, and there is Jingping Camp in his hand, there is no news, but good news!" ”
