After the people arrived, Chen Cheng didn't talk nonsense to them, and said directly: "Your Majesty ordered me to take the Yue cavalry camp into the palace tomorrow." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Wei Li and Wu Kuang were shocked, but even the expression on Yan Zhong's face changed. The Northern Army is a field army, and the Southern Army is the garrison force. Almost every time the Northern Army entered the city in history, it was the beginning of a coup d'état, and every coup d'état was a killing of people's heads.

Wu Kuang trembled and asked, "Is there an edict from the Son of Heaven?" ”

Chen Cheng took out the bright yellow silk that had been rolled up and said, "The edict of the Son of Heaven is here!" ”

Wu Kuang froze and said, "Dare to take a look." ”

Chen Cheng handed over the holy decree, Wu Kuang wiped his hands on his body, then took it over, unfolded it and looked at it, and sure enough, it was written that the Yue cavalry camp would enter the palace guards. He passed the holy decree to several other generals, and after everyone read it, he said: "We are cavalry, even if we want to enter the palace to guard, we should also transfer the infantry battalion and the shooting battalion, how can we transfer the cavalry battalion?" ”

"You want to disobey?"

"Don't dare," Wu Kuang arched his hand and said, "It's just that I have some doubts." And the holy decree only asked our army to guard the South Palace, but I don't know how many soldiers and horses the captain plans to transfer into the city, and how many soldiers and horses he plans to leave to defend? ”

Chen Cheng glanced at Wu Kuang approvingly, and felt that although this person was not very good at dealing with him, he had a good ability to lead troops, and he was not a person who could only talk.

"I'm going to bring everyone with me," Chen Cheng said, "You guys go down and prepare first, and set off tomorrow on the fourth watch!" ”

Wu Kuang and the others retreated thoughtfully, and Chen Cheng said to Yan Zhong at this time: "Mr. Yan? ”

Yan Zhong recovered from the shock, took a step forward, grabbed Chen Cheng's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Zhijin Wu, this is really a godsend!" ”

"Huh?" Chen Cheng said puzzledly: "Although the Son of Heaven ordered me to wait for the inner guard, this is not a good opportunity, right?" ”

Yan Zhong said eagerly: "The fate of the Son of Heaven is not long!" Otherwise, how could the northern army be transferred into the city? Once the soldiers and horses enter the city, how to do it is not up to Zhi Jinwu to decide? ”

He suppressed his heart, lowered his voice, and said: "Zhijin Wu can join forces with the eunuchs, forge the edict of the Son of Heaven, kill the general and his officials and subordinates first, and after stabilizing the capital a little, he will lead the troops into the palace and sweep the eunuchs away, and then he can achieve the same feats as Yi Yin Huoguang!" ”

Chen Cheng was really shocked. He has always thought that he was well-informed, and he was so bold that even the First Emperor dared to assassinate him, and when today's son named him the captain of Zhijinwu and Yueqi, he did not hesitate to respond. But compared to Yan Zhong, that little thing is completely inadequate.

Forge an edict and kill the general first, then the eunuch........ Why don't you go to heaven?

But he immediately remembered Liu Bei, who whipped his boss, Cao Cao, who was overbearing in the future, and Sun Jian, who slashed and killed the state assassin, all of whom were lawless. Perhaps, this era is full of maniacs?

With Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Jian, it probably won't be a big deal to have another Yan Zhong..... That's weird!

Chen Chengxin said: Can the things that Liu Bei and Cao Cao and Sun Jian do be comparable to what Yan Zhong said?

In fact, Chen Cheng was mistaken, Cao Cao's edict was said in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and in real history, it was Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao.

Yan Zhong saw the expression on Chen Cheng's face and knew that he was in a hurry, so he slowed down his speech and said slowly: "The eunuch has the trust of the Son of Heaven, the general has the support of the scholars, both sides are full of branches, there are many soldiers and horses under his command, and there are countless protégés and former officials. Now that the two powers are facing each other, Fang has room for the general to gain a foothold, once they divide the winner and loser, does the general think that he can still be safe and sound? ”

Yan Zhong said: "You don't even need to wait for them to decide the winner, once the Son of Heaven dies, how should the general deal with himself?" ”

Chen Cheng was taken aback by Yan Zhong's audacity, but he was not an ordinary person after all, so he quickly calmed down and asked, "Can't I take refuge in one of them?" I'm conceited that I'm superior in martial arts, so won't they think about it? ”

Yan Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "What's the use of being strong in martial arts?" Doesn't the general hear: The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden; The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook? ”

Chen Cheng thought for a while and said, "Sir's strategy is too dangerous, not to mention that I am not that kind of person, even if I really kill the general, I will not be able to stabilize people's hearts in a short period of time." There are hundreds of wealthy families inside and outside the capital, each with its own tribe, once it is turbulent, wouldn't it be a catastrophe? ”

Yan Zhong said loudly: "If the Son of Heaven is not a minister, who dares not to obey?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, lowered his voice, and said: "Even if someone disagrees, just give the holy decree to seal some more official positions, are you still afraid that there are no people who want to be officials and are not afraid of death?" Prince, the matter is urgent, please make up your mind quickly! ”

Chen Cheng still shook his head, but he was obviously a little moved.

Yan Zhong's eyes were like torches, and he immediately saw it. He quickly recalled Chen Cheng's information in his mind, and said in his heart: Chen Wenzheng is obviously famous for his martial and military exploits, and the battle to defeat Zhang Chun can be described as bold, why is he so cautious now? It's like a mold with Huangfu Song.

After the end of the Guangzong War, Yan Zhong lobbied Huangfu Song to rebel, saying: The merit has been done, the world has been smooth, and then please call God, show the mandate of heaven, mix the six Qi, weigh the system in the south, move the treasure in the Jiangxing, push the dead Han in the general, the real god machine will meet, and the wind will be good.

He agitated his lips and tongue and tried his best, but he ran into Huangfu Song, an absolute outlier, and was not moved by his intimidation and temptation at all, so he could only run away overnight. If you don't run, you can't do it, since Huangfu Song refuses to rebel, then Yan Zhong will be afraid of being arrested and cut down.

Yan Zhong carefully recalled Chen Cheng's deeds, and then said, "Even if the big thing doesn't work out, will things get worse?" Now that there are wars everywhere in the world, are the princes still afraid that there is no place to use force? ”

His title to Chen Cheng changed again and again, from Zhijinwu to general to prince, obviously eager to hope that Chen Cheng would give up everything to gamble as he said.

Chen Cheng's brows furrowed, and this time he was finally moved by Yan Zhong's words. Even if he turns the situation upside down, will it be worse than in history? However, his decision was not at all the same as Yan Zhong thought. Moreover, Yan Zhong can't let go, this is a lawless fanatic.

"What Mr. said is very true, then please temporarily take the position of the chief historian of the army, and enter the palace with me tomorrow."

Chen Cheng looked at Yan Zhong fixedly, if the other party did not agree, then he had to change the house arrest to hard confinement.

Yan Zhong's ability to observe words and emotions was almost full, how could he not see Chen Cheng's thoughts? Besides, he didn't plan to stay out of it. If you want to splash the sky, how can you not pay a price? If you don't take risks, how can you make immortal achievements?

He gladly accepted the order, bowed to the end, and said, "Respectfully!" ”

In the barracks, the soldiers were checking their equipment and packing their luggage, and they were busy for more than an hour before the noise in the camp subsided. Then it was dinner time, and the soldiers knew that they would enter the palace tomorrow, and they were very excited, and they talked quietly while eating.

But the officers had different expressions, and most of the middle and low-ranking officers were excited and nervous, most of them knew the history of the Northern Army and knew what it meant to enter the palace tomorrow. It's dangerous, but why isn't it? The Han people's concept of valuing righteousness over life has deeply influenced them, and as long as a reason is given, the vast majority of people can die generously.

The senior officers were a mixture of fear and excitement. Du Wei and Sima are already considered high-ranking generals, but compared with the officials in the court, they are still far behind. If you don't make a contribution to the sky, how can you be crowned a marquis?

Fenghou, that is the dream of most people.

Feng Tang is easy to get old, Li Guang is difficult to seal, even after a thousand years, it will still make people sigh.

However, they can't help but feel fear. The generals of the Northern Army who participated in the coup d'état in the past generations have soared into the sky, but there are also many who have been exterminated. On the one hand, they are soaring, and on the other hand, they are not afraid, they are not excited, and they are not nervous.

After the meal, the officers shouted and drove the soldiers into the barracks. As night fell, the soldiers fell into a deep sleep with various moods.

The next morning, before dawn, the barracks began to cook, and after the meal was finished, the fourth watch was just after the fourth watch. The cavalry of the Yue cavalry battalion drove out of the camp and marched towards the south. The camp is at the foot of Beibi Mountain, there are many tombs of emperors and generals on the mountain, and there are many palaces and living rooms built here, and there are many rich nobles on the side of the barracks.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves on the road outside shaking the ground, and the barking of dogs in the village, many people poked their heads out and saw that it was a large army crossing the border, and they couldn't help but be suspicious. Through the faint morning light, I saw that the men and horses were majestic, and the knights were wearing iron armor and carrying bows and arrows, which was clearly the famous "Yue Cavalry Battalion".

At first, the people who witnessed this scene were still wondering if the Yue Cavalry Battalion was going out for training or hunting, but as they got closer and closer to Luoyang City, the people who saw it became more and more frightened. What it meant for the northern army to enter the city was not something only Yan Zhong knew.

You're not stupid!

Soon, the news spread rapidly. If it weren't for the swift march of the Yue Cavalry Battalion, I am afraid that the news would have reached the city faster than them. When the army had moved beyond the valley gate, the sun had just risen, and the defenders of the city were all green when they saw so many cavalry coming.

When the guard saw the cavalry in the distance, he immediately ordered his subordinates to disperse the pedestrians at the city gate, and then closed the gate.

Chen Cheng was draped all over his body, carrying a spear in his hand, beating his horse and jumping out of the crowd, shouting towards the city: "I entered the palace to guard at the order of the Son of Heaven, why did you block my way?" ”

The guard general did not dare to slack off, and said in a loud voice: "The general claims to have come by name, but there is an edict from the Son of Heaven?" ”

Chen Cheng put away his spear, took out the edict and held it up, and said, "The edict of the Son of Heaven is here!" ”

The guard general whispered a few words to the deputy on the side, and then said to Chen Cheng: "Wait for me to come down and take a look!" ”

With that, he opened the gates and came out, and walked out of the moat. When he came out, the city gate was only opened by a small crack, and then it was quickly closed, apparently afraid that the army outside would take advantage of the opportunity to seize the city.

But his worries were unnecessary, because the edict of the Son of Heaven was true, and Chen Cheng did not need to make extraneous branches.

The guard took the edict and read it carefully over and over again, then raised his head, respectfully returned the edict to Chen Cheng, and then turned around and shouted to the city: "Open the door!" ”

This person is obviously not afraid of death, otherwise he would not go out of the city alone, but after seeing the edict of the Son of Heaven, his attitude immediately changed.

Seeing this scene, Chen Cheng said in his heart: People are disgusted with Han? I'm afraid it may not be!
