Volume 3 Two Capitals Chapter 63 Black Clouds Crush the City

The rumbling sound of thunder came from far and near, and boundless yellow dust suddenly rose on the vast horizon. The black-pressed cavalry brigade slowly emerged from the dust, its iron hooves shook the sky, and its armor was dazzling, and its overwhelming force was enough to make any battle-hardened veteran general's mouth dry and unmatched.

A four-horse chariot galloped out of the army under the arch guard of dozens of elite horsemen, and slowly stopped on a verdant lawn.

"Is Luoyang ahead?" Inside the car, a calm voice came.

"Back to the Lord! A hundred miles ahead is Luoyang! A mighty-looking ironclad general said respectfully. This person is Yan Xing, who was once known as the first fierce general of Xiliang.

"I didn't expect that I would still have to return to the imperial capital one day!" The voice sighed softly, and then the man slowly stepped out of the car.

He reached out and picked up a handful of grass from the ground with dirt attached, and smiled in his mouth: "Uprooted? Good sign! Good sign! ”

He casually threw away the grass and mud in his hand, greeted the bright sunshine, took a deep breath, closed his eyes and sighed: "The land of the Central Plains is really fertile, and even the soil seems to have a trace of fragrance, which is far better than the cold land in the west!" ”

The sun shone on his face, reflecting his delicate face, and the smile on his lips.

Suddenly, his ears moved, and he caught in the sound of horses' hooves rushing towards him. His eyes opened to reveal a terrifying look, and then he regained his calm gaze, he pointed to the two groups of knights who were running from afar, and said with a smile: "Yan Xing, if the surprise attack on Luoyang is successful this time, how do you think the two of them should be thanked by the kingdom and Li Xiangru?" ”

"Thanks?" Yan Xing smiled dumbly and said: "Although these two people are also heroes, they are only worthy of being on the shelf for the Lord!" If it is really thanksgiving, then the Lord will do everything in his power to make them work for the Lord! ”

"Hubris, hubris! If such wild words are heard by them, is it strange that they do not deviate from morality? The scribe shook his head and smiled: "These two people have always been ambitious, partial and average, but such people are also the easiest to control!" From now on, don't be rude to them! ”

He suddenly patted Yan Xing again, and said with a smile: "However, I would love to listen to such wild words!" ”

While speaking, the two horsemen had stopped not far away, and the two generals turned over and dismounted together, and came quickly.

"Longxi Li Xiangru!"

"Hanyang Kingdom!"

"Meet General Wenyo!"

The scribe gladly said, "Ah! It turned out to be two generals, and Ben Jiang was talking to General Yan about the two! ”

The second general was slightly stunned and exchanged a look. One of the generals with a withered face and a slender body was none other than the Hanyang Kingdom, and he smiled, "I wonder what General Wenyue said about the next two?" ”

"Let's talk about dividing the territory!" The scribe said casually: "A few of them are also heroes in the world, and they have their own ambitions in their hearts, otherwise how could they willingly accompany me Han to attack the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty?" ”

Li Xiangru and Wang Guo's bodies trembled slightly, obviously they didn't expect this scribe to be so straightforward, and they didn't know how to talk for a while.

"Look!" The scribe pointed to the place where heaven and earth met in the distance: "Such a vast and beautiful river and mountain, if you can take it for yourself and gallop across it, of course it is every man's dream!" ”

"But have you thought about it?" A hint of ridicule suddenly appeared in his words: "Occupying the land is like eating, and you can eat as much as you have in your stomach." Otherwise, it will not only survive to death, but also laugh at the world! ”

Li Xiangru, who had a gentle and elegant face, arched his hand and said: "The general's meaning is understood!" If you want to carve up the world, you can only do what you can, not too ambitious! ”

He said calmly: "Please rest assured, since we have raised an army against the Han, there is no way to retreat, and we are the only general to look forward to!" ”

"Well said! What about you? The scribe smiled and looked at the pale kingdom and said, "What do you think?" ”

Wang Guo smiled reluctantly and said: "In this attack on Luoyang, the 20,000 soldiers and horses in the lower department are willing to be the vanguard and clear all obstacles for the general!" ”

"The two of them know the time, and they are indeed the world's masters!" The scribe nodded and said, "Since it is said that this is the case, then Ben will also be blunt!" This attack on the imperial capital, Cheng can coerce the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate, and to rule the world; If we are defeated, we will become the public enemy of the world, and we can only retreat to Liangzhou for a long time! Therefore, none of you and I want to preserve our strength, and there is no need to be a pioneer in a pretentious manner. Poke the force to fight Luoyang together, and then think long-term is the right way! ”

Li Xiangru and Wang Guoru glanced at each other, and both felt relieved.

The two bowed down at the same time and said, "Obey General Han's orders!" ”

In the dimly lit basement, the candle flame flickered, pulling several black-cloaked figures to the left and right.

"How unreasonable!" A black cloak jumped up suddenly, and roared angrily: "Dong Zhuo's gang dared to go behind the organization's back to collude with Han Sui and Bian Zhang, he has made a great contribution, but the soldiers and horses under our control have lost everything!" This is a naked betrayal! ”

"I said a long time ago that this man's wolf ambition will be a disaster!" Another person said lightly: "But is there any point in caring about these now?" It is imperative that we calm down and come up with a way to protect ourselves! ”

"Self-preservation?" The third person said in a deep voice: "Han Sui and Bian Zhang completely ignored the agreement and brazenly invaded Luoyang, and their hearts have been revealed. They not only want to exterminate the Han family, but also to eradicate us all. Because our existence has become their last obstacle, can you still stay out of it? ”

"Afraid of what?" The first black cloak said disapplauded: "Even if Han Sui and Bian Zhang capture Luoyang, they don't know anything about our identity, what can they do with us?" ”

"Stupid!" A voice whispered: "Han Sui and Bian Zhang's subordinates are all Hu people, and they have always been regarded as alien people by people like us, and they have a long hatred for each other. If they capture the imperial capital, then all the noble families will become the targets of their indiscriminate attacks! ”

"What?" A man trembled: "You mean, they, they will slaughter the city?" ”

"Since ancient times, whenever there has been a change of dynasty, which time has it not been full of bones?" The voice said faintly: "As a defeated person, it is natural to use blood to achieve a new king!" ”

"Everyone!" A majestic voice rang out from above, and everyone closed their mouths together and looked to the top of the list.

"In the past, there was a son and an ugly one who said goodbye, and now there is Xin Yi who lured the wolf into the house, and my sexagenary branch has been established for more than ten years, and now I am facing the biggest crisis of destruction!" The man who spoke stood up, a golden mask shining in the candlelight.

"I heard that General Yingyang Zhonglang has now led his troops back to help and is about to enter the imperial capital, so I decided..."The golden-faced man paused and said resolutely: "Temporarily put aside all grievances with him, and fully cooperate with him to defend the imperial capital!" ”

"What?" Several people shouted together: "He is our number one enemy!" ”

Someone said in a panic: "I heard that this Nanying has some relationship with Chouyi, and Ziyi and Chouyi are close friends!" These two disappeared near Taihang Mountain at the same time, and it is likely that they took refuge in him who was appeasing the Taihang bandits! How can such a dangerous person turn enemies into friends? ”

One of them even shouted, "If he already knows who we are from the son, he will never stay!" Think again, Lord! ”

"There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!" The golden-faced man said calmly: "And at this moment, our common enemy with him has appeared, and if we join, we will coexist, and if we divide, we will both die!" This way of survival too! ”

Everyone fell silent together, and suddenly someone sneered lightly: "What about this Eagle Yang Zhonglang General?" If he really knew who we were, would he have borrowed a knife to kill someone? Once he protects the Son of Heaven and escapes from the imperial capital, then won't we become substitutes for the dead in vain! ”

"Of course he wouldn't!" A thin voice sounded: "This person has both men and arms, and there are many fierce generals and ministers under him, but unfortunately, he has a fatal weakness!" It is this weakness that not only determines that he will act according to our ideas, but also determines the outcome of his future defeat! ”

"What weakness?" Several people were surprised together.

"His heart is too soft!" The thin voice said with a hint of mockery: "On the Xianyang Plain that day, since he swept away the vanguard of the rebels, he has already made a great achievement, and he can retreat bravely!" However, it is ridiculous that this person, for the sake of thousands of irrelevant people, is desperate to fight a decisive battle with a superior enemy army! ”

At this point, in the darkness, several people let out an "oh" at the same time, both appreciative and dismissive.

"From this, we know that this person's heart is really almost pedantic!" The thin voice continued: "As long as we squeeze him with righteousness, then even if we openly appear in front of him, we will never have to worry that he will cut us!" ”

"What's your plan?" Someone spoke.

"It's so easy! As long as we first release the wind of words in the imperial capital, saying that the rebels are going to break the city and burn and loot it, causing chaos in the imperial capital. Then send someone to contact him and show his sincerity to put aside his grievances and fight against the strong enemy, then this Eagle Yang Zhonglang general can only stand up and stick to the imperial capital! The thin voice burst into a smug laugh: "What if he knew who we were?" Does he dare to risk causing civil strife against us? ”

"But who will be sent to deal with him?" Someone asked.

For a while, everyone was silent. Because no one knows if Ziyi has really taken refuge in Nanying. Unless someone is insane, who would dare to risk their own exposure and openly negotiate with that legendary iron-blooded general.

"Hey, hey!" One of them stood up with a smile: "Since no one wants to go, then I'll go!" ”

"You?" Someone exclaimed, "Mao Yi, you are crazy! You have fought with Nanying several times, I believe that he has long been suspicious of you, and you were even more implicated by Guiyi a few days ago, and almost died in prison, how can you throw yourself into the net again? ”

"As you say!" Mao Yi said slowly: "I'm almost completely exposed, what's so scary?" Even if I die alone, it's better than everyone burning together! ”

He proudly said to the golden-faced man: "Lord, rest assured! I will definitely force Nanying to stay in the imperial capital and never let him abandon the city!" ”

"Excellent! There you go! The golden-faced man was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "All brothers, you will not forget what you have done today!" ”

"You tell Nanying one more thing, if we can release the previous suspicions, we will do our best to help him eradicate Dong Zhuo!" The golden-faced man smiled lightly: "I believe that for him, Dong Zhuo is the most hated enemy, whether he knows the truth that Dong Zhuo is Xin Yi or not!" ”

Suyu, all the people in the secret room dispersed, and only the golden-faced man was still sitting in the middle.

"Lord, what are you thinking?" A hoarse voice sounded suddenly, and it turned out that there was still one person in the seat who had not left for a long time.

"Do you have any doubts in mind?" The golden-faced man smiled and said, "Just ask!" ”

"The subordinates are really confused!" The man sighed, "What if Han Sui breaks the imperial capital? Does he really dare to attack the Lord? No matter how bad the ending is, the Lord should not have anything to do with Nanying! Because, he is the most loyal general of the Son of Heaven, and we can only fight to the death! ”

"You're right!" The golden-faced man let out a long sigh: "But I have no choice. Maybe Han Sui really didn't dare to do anything to me, but there was still one person in the imperial capital, but he would definitely fall into the well and take the opportunity to get rid of us! ”

"What?" The man was so startled that even his voice trembled: "The Lord is saying, it is about your ......"

"Yes! That's him! The golden-faced man said bitterly: "Han Sui didn't dare to kill me, let alone kill him!" Now that we have been hit hard, Ziyi and Chouyi have also betrayed us, and the strength of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches is already difficult to fight against him! And he has been waiting for this day for many years, and he will never miss the opportunity to get rid of us and replace us! Because, whether it is me or him, or even the people of the world, they all think that only Tude can replace Yanhan Huode! ”

"He and I both have the order of Tude!" He said fiercely: "Only one person can win in this battle for domination in the world!" If I die first, he will have no rival! ”

"Therefore, we can only temporarily put down our posture and use the patience of the Son of Heaven and his party to protect themselves to tide over this crisis!" He said heavily: "As long as he feels that behind us, there is a great general, and there is a general who is Yingyang, he can only continue to remain silent!" ”

"Got it!" The hoarse voice exhaled a long breath and sighed, "It turns out that the Lord is also making a big gamble of life and death!" Bet that the Son of Heaven will not dare to attack us now! ”

"But what about the future?" He couldn't help but say, "If the rebels are completely defeated, the Son of Heaven and Nanying will still make a move against us in the end!" ”

"So the rebels can be defeated, but they can't die!" The golden-faced man said lightly: "As long as they exist, the Son of Heaven has concerns and does not dare to risk the civil strife in the imperial capital to deal with us!" ”

"What's more!" He loomed and said: "As long as I hold on for a few more months, maybe I can fight the world!" Sun Binshuo, Sun Binshuo, you have finally done one last good thing for the organization! ”

PS: It's been a busy few days, and the meetings are going on every day! When I got home today, I had time to write a chapter in a hurry, and I was afraid that the quality would be greatly reduced, and I didn't know if the setting was reasonable! Please forgive me, brothers!
