The corners of Zhu Xu's mouth hooked, and he said in a deep voice: "Military affairs, please forgive Zhu for not being able to open the city, you said that you have the military order of the king's assassination, do you have a certificate?" ”

Liu Yu nodded, took out a letter from his arms, and took out a token of the Beifu Army, tied it together with a thin thread, and Liu Daogui on the side handed over a big bow and a long arrow, Liu Yu tied these things to the arrow, took the arrow and bent the bow, and shot an arrow, this arrow was impartial, and it was nailed directly to the beam of the city tower behind Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu was calm as usual, he had already seen Liu Yu's ability, the guards around him took down the arrows, and presented the token and letter, Zhu Xu read it, nodded and said: "Yes, it is indeed the public seal of the king's assassin history, come to the city, open the city, and welcome these strong men to the west of the city to be settled." Liu Zhuangshi, please come to the Assassin Mansion for a while. ”

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Yu, Liu Yi and He Wuji, standing on the main hall of Zhu Xu's Assassin Mansion, which had already been changed to the appearance of a military camp and military tent, the scribes and clerks were writing hard in the corner, and the servants were running back and forth with piles of official documents, there was a large sand table in front of the main case, which was full of the situation in the Central Plains, fully armed with more than ten generals, standing on both sides with swords, and Zhu Xu was sitting on the Hu bed, looking at the Beifu Army Sanying in the hall, smiling and nodding: "Sure enough, it's Liu Yu, Liu Yi and He Wuji, the three strong men, wanted to see you sweep through thousands of armies in the Battle of Weishui with their own eyes, but today they can see you here. ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "The hero doesn't mention the courage of the year, Zhu Tingshi has been guarding the Central Plains alone these years, and it has been hard, Wang Tingshi heard that there have been changes in the state recently, and there may be changes in the Central Plains, so I specially ordered me to come to support." ”

Zhu Xu let out a soft "oh" and said, "Since Wang Tingshi sent you to help, why don't you equip according to the model of the army, but come in civilian clothes?" We thought you were spies here in the first place. ”

Liu Yi said with a straight face: "Zhu Tingshi, the imperial court did not order, let me wait to support you in the form of an army, this time it is just Wang Tingshi, or Brother Liu feels that the Central Plains is in danger, and does not want the results of our last Northern Expedition to be destroyed, so he summoned the old brothers and their families in the Beifu army in the township to come to support, so he did not carry armor and ordnance." ”

Yang Yanqi's eyes widened: "What?!" Are you here on your own? Oh my God, this is a crowd violation. ”

He Wuji shook his head: "This is General Yang, I have admired the name for a long time, I waited for this trip, I reported to Wang Zhenjun, and got his approval, not came privately, because the matter was urgent, I couldn't wait for the court, so Wang Zhenjun asked me to wait for the first time, if the battle equipment and ordnance are carried, the march will affect the speed, so I wait for the empty hand to go on the road, only bring swords, bows and arrows to defend myself, and wait for the court to issue a large number of regular reinforcements, please rest assured." ”

Zhu Xu nodded: "There is an official letter from Wang Zhenjun here, not a private gathering, Vice General Yang, this is a military discussion, be cautious!" ”

Yang Yanqi hooked the corners of his mouth: "So, you are here to use the equipment in our arsenal?" But I can say first, the equipment in Luoyang City was originally only enough for our garrison troops, and the spare armor and spears were mostly the old equipment eliminated by the Qin army before, far less than the stainless steel armor of your Beifu Army, and the 100-refining steel lance. ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "If you come, you will be safe, the old equipment in the city, we can use it first, and please ask Zhu Tingshi to arrange to hurry up the production of some sophisticated equipment, maybe in the next few days, there will be a strong enemy attacking, at this time, we are in the same boat through thick and thin, and we need to work together." ”

Zhu Xu said calmly: "This old man will arrange this by himself, but the old man is very strange, why in our place, there is no information about the enemy's large-scale attack, only the remnants of Fu Pi's army of thousands of people, heading towards the direction of Shaanxi County west of Luoyang, the local General Feng and General Guo are also ready to deal with it, Murong Yong's army is still only by the Yellow River, but you are in the rear but you say that the situation is critical, is there anything that the old man does not know?" ”

Liu Yu nodded and said: "We have sufficient information to confirm that Huan Xuan, the prince of the former Jingzhou assassin Shi Huan Wen, has secretly infiltrated Hongnong and Shaanxi County, and he will mobilize the soldiers and horses here to chase and kill Fu Pi, so within three days, this will become an undefended area, and Murong Yong's soldiers and horses will soon cross the river, pass through Shaanxi County, and point directly to Luoyang." That's why we're here. ”

Yang Yanqi's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "It's nonsense, Feng Gai and Guo Quan are under the control of Zhu Tingshi, without our orders, how dare they leave their posts without permission?" ”

Liu Yi said coldly: "If Huan Xuan and Zhu Jianshi ordered at the same time, who does General Yang think the two of them will listen to?" You don't know the situation in Jingzhou, the words of the Huan family are more effective than the orders of the imperial court, they only need to say that they are chasing and killing the puppet Qin emperor, acting cheaply, and they can have an explanation to the above. ”

Zhu Xu's expression was solemn: "If Huan Xuan has this intention, why don't you come to see me?" Do you want to do it yourself? He doesn't have an official body now, so maybe he will lose his head like this, what's in it for him?? ”

He Wuji said: "Zhu Thorn History, Huan Wen's father and son's thoughts, everyone in the world knows, Huan Xuan is now in Jingzhou and has no name, if he wants to control Jingzhou justifiably, unless it is the current Jingzhou Thorn Shi Wang Chen to protect him, so he must make this great achievement, prove his ability and value, and then transfer the credit to Wang Chen, so that he can cooperate." You are the assassin of Yuzhou, not the assassin of Jingzhou, and you can't help him in this regard, so he won't come to you, but directly find Feng, Guo Erjiang, these two are his father's old department, loyal to the Huan family, you should know very well. ”

Zhu Xu sighed and sat up straight: "If the defenders of Hongnong Shaanxi County are evacuated, then the door will inevitably be opened, and my Luoyang will become a lonely city. Also, regardless of whether Feng Gai and Guo Quan listen to the order or not, they must give them an order, asking them to stick to Shaanxi County and Hongnong and not leave without permission. ”

The two generals rushed forward to take over the military order, and quickly retreated, and Zhu Xu's eyes fell back on Liu Yu: "Thank you for conveying such important news this time, but the old man has a question, why can't Wang Zhenjun report these things through flying pigeons or fast horses, but ask you to convey them on foot?" What does it mean? ”
