Zhou Changfeng looked at Zhu Yuntao, who was being played by Jia Laoliu, and a sense of superiority also arose; He waved his hand and slapped the confession record of Jia Lao Liu, waiting for the other party to check it, showing a shocked or ashamed expression, so that he could achieve complete spiritual satisfaction.

However, Zhu Yuntao is not the great eunuch Liang Bao; He doesn't rely on the grace of Zhou Changfeng to eat, and he doesn't need to please the other party's unspeakable little emotions through the form of "performance". He picked up this confession record, read through it indifferently, and then pushed it back after folding it, and nodded lightly:

I see, I can't imagine that there is such a tortuous reason in it...... Then Your Majesty, all the explanations about the attack on the palace last night have been completed, and the first offender has been taken into custody. Then, the last general will also go out of the West City Gate to pawn the army and go north to capture and kill the thief Zhou Chang'an......"

"Wait! Brother Xian, judging from the recruitment of the first offender, I am afraid that the attack on Weiyang Palace last night was just the beginning. In my opinion, the virtuous brother should not rush into battle......"

"Your Majesty! Forgive me for being rude and outspoken. The attack on Weiyang Palace last night was an old account between His Majesty and Di Ting, and it had nothing to do with my Bashu army; And the last general is also the father and son of the Zhou family of Beiyan, who have an undying blood feud, so he will join forces with His Majesty to fight the enemy today. As for the defense and garrison of Chang'an City, the last general expected that His Majesty would definitely have his own opinions; And Zhu is an outsider, so it is inconvenient to intervene in the old accounts between Sanqin and Diting, and it is even more inconvenient to meddle in the military affairs of Chang'an. The last general thanked His Majesty for the banquet and wine, but it was late at this time, and the army was imminent to go on the expedition, and there was no room for delay; I'm afraid that I will not be blessed to receive His Majesty's good intentions...... Your Majesty will use it slowly, and the last general will retire first. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuntao got up and left, not taking Zhou Changfeng's approval as a thing at all; And Zhou Changfeng also hurriedly stood up, and called out in a loud voice:

"Virtuous brother walks slowly...... I...... I have another reluctant request......"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuntao, who had already turned his back, hooked a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, and there were even more tears in his eyes......

At noon, Jia Laoliu, a prisoner who gathered in the green forest and grass and wanted to stab the holy driver at night, opened a knife under the bell and drum tower in Chang'an City; The candidate for the executioner was Zhu Yuntao, the king of Bashu who captured the thief himself.

After the Qin prisoners were killed, the 3,000 city guards in the outer city of Chang'an were ordered by the emperor to step down, and all the lines were retracted, acting as the internal forbidden army of Weiyang Palace, beware of the remnants of the rivers and lakes coming to Chang'an City to avenge Wu Chengfeng and Jia Laoliu.

And the 50,000 Bashu troops who were suspected of "strong guests suppressing the master" finally took over all the defense of the outer city of Chang'an under the reluctance of Zhu Yuntao. It's just that he only left 20,000 horses to defend the city, and personally led the remaining 30,000 elite soldiers to the north, and went straight to Zhou Chang'an's army near Huanglong Gudu. His action also made Zhou Changfeng's heart that had always been hanging finally fall to the ground.

I have to say that the 20,000 Bashu troops who stayed in Chang'an, although they were all born in the army; But those generals and school officials are all veterans who have been painstakingly trained by Zhu Yuntao for many years, and they do things neatly. In three days, in just three days, the Chang'an Mansion received the corpses of more than 30 Beiyan spies and people in the rivers and lakes.

Just when the purge activities in Chang'an City were in full swing; The 30,000 Bashu elites led by Zhu Yuntao finally arrived on the west bank of Huanglong Gudu.

Today's fourth prince Zhou Chang'an, after a series of bloody battles and torture, has no longer seen the elegant and handsome Confucian appearance at the beginning; His thick beard covered his entire chin; From the corner of the right eye to the sideburns, a scar was also rubbed by a stray arrow on the battlefield; Although the wound had healed completely, the wound on the scalp made the scar even more glaring against the thick beard and hair......

In just a few months, the four princes have "grown" into a battlefield veteran.

Until the abnormality appeared in front of him, the fourth prince had just led his army out of the ferry, and he had only traveled ten miles.

In the middle of summer, the land of Sanqin is still full of wind and snakes, and smoke and earth. The grains of hard gravel came in the wind of the Loess Plateau, and the soldiers who smashed it couldn't raise their heads or open their eyes; The two military flags of Qin and Yan were blown straight away, and they hunted in the wind and dust......

"Stop!"

Zhou Changfeng, who was riding on a horse and was the first to go, saw that there seemed to be a flag rolling and flying in the distance, and immediately gently brushed the flag bearer in front of him with a horsewhip, signaling the other party to wave the flag and stop the march; Then he swung his right hand forward, and the two sentry riders tightened their scarves and rode forward......

"Phew...... A mouthful of sand...... Wang Du, you see, there are flags in front of our army, but it is the "hidden army" that Zhou Changfeng has not moved? ”

Wang Kenong, the governor of the Three Jin Dynasty, squinted his eyes and put his hands on the pergola for a long time, and he could only distinguish a black flag; But for them, to be able to distinguish the color of the flag, it is enough.

"Black Flag...... Fuck, it's all that shit day! Herald, pass my orders and prepare to meet the enemy! ”

Soon, the two sentinels made a big circle in front of them, and ran back to their own formation; One of the sentry captains fell off his horse and shouted hoarsely at Zhou Chang'an:

"Zhou Shuai, it's not good! The front is really the Qin army, and the rear team looks boundless, with at least more than 10,000 people! ”

Zhou Changan's eyes rolled, and he thought about it in his heart, and immediately refuted:

"The population of the land of Sanqin is counted, how can there be so many strong men to be recruited! When pigs fly! You kid must have been frightened by the enemy army, and he didn't dare to go deep and came back! Go, explore and report! ”

However, when Wang Kenong heard this, he went against the norm, stepped forward, waved his hand at the wronged sentry, pushed the two back, and said to Zhou Changan in a low voice:

"Fourth Prince, have you forgotten? This is Zhu Yuntao, who has already left Bashu Road. What if these people were all Bashu troops under the banner of the Qin army? If you think about it, it's not impossible! ”

Hearing this, Zhou Changan was relieved and let out a big breath......

"Fourth Prince, you, do you remember wishing someone?"

This faint greeting, through the yellow sand swept from the sky, suddenly drilled into the ears of every Northern Yan army......

At the same time, the last civilian boat at the wharf of Nankang Shencheng has also left the shore; Loaded with food and ordnance, it followed the mighty fleet ahead and sailed in the direction of East Youwan. According to the plan of Huang Tianhao, the commander of the navy, this "Northern Expeditionary Fleet," composed of nearly 2,000 large and small ships, will land at three piers in accordance with the ratio of "two, two, and four."

According to the calculation of the voyage, if the road is smooth, then the first two hundred warships to reach the destination will launch a fierce attack on Dengzhou City on the Ludong Road; After taking Dengzhou, the army immediately went inland to kill, and as soon as possible it joined forces with Pang Qingshan's soldiers, who led the 60,000 infantry army; first defeated Jishui City, and then destroyed the Qin army's Chen Ziling Department with a backhand, and then smashed directly under Beiyan City.

The second batch of 400 capital warships arriving at the target location will be directly inserted into Weijin City, which is located southeast of Yanjing City, and will be waiting for the net outside the capital of Northern Yanguo; As for the last 200 warships, depending on the changes in the battlefield situation, they chose to land in Jieshi City, east of Yanjing, or Ninghai County on Youbei Third Road. The former is to encircle Zhou Yuanqing, the Emperor of Heavenly Blessing, who may abandon the city and flee to the north; The latter, once the war goes well, they will beat the rabbits with grass and wipe out the three roads in the north.

The two brothers, Black Dog and Guan Beidou, stood on the shore of Shencheng Wharf, looking at the sails that were gradually moving away, and fell into a long silence; Suddenly, there was a thunderclap from the southwest, and the sky quickly became gloomy; Thick black rain clouds came down the wind, hiding the scorching summer sun behind them; The sky, which was already close to noon, became dark and chaotic......

Guan Beidou frowned when he saw this, reached into his arms, and took out six copper coins; Then he sat cross-legged with his hands folded in front of his chest. After a burst of "bang, bang, bang" copper coins, Guan Beidou's hands were loosened, and the six copper coins fell to the ground in turn......

Guan Beidou quickly rehearsed the hexagram, but his brows furrowed even tighter. Immediately after that, he copied the money, clasped his hands up and down, and started another hexagram......

"This Taoist brother, if you ask the sky, you have to hexagram Ze water sleepy; Ask the land, get the hexagram water and mountains; According to the little old man, this third hexagram, you still don't take advantage of it! ”

Suddenly, an old voice sounded from behind the two, startling the black dog and Guan Beidou into a cold sweat! When they looked back, they saw that the man who had spoken, an old man with gray hair; He was wearing an inferior gossip coat and carrying a hexagram flag on his shoulder, he was actually a folk scholar!

However, he was right. The hexagram that Guan Beidou has just occupied and obtained twice is indeed a hexagram of water and water, and it is a hexagram of great evil! But at the moment, there is still a distance between the two sides, not to mention, across the back of Guan Beidou and the black dog, even if this old man's eyes are good, he can't see the hexagram performed by Guan Beidou!

That's where it gets interesting!

"Hmm...... Since Your Excellency is also a fellow practitioner, you should know the truth of "hexagram is not auspicious......"

"There is no good luck in hexagrams, but people have life and death. The road ahead is bumpy and difficult, benefiting the southwest and damaging the northeast; Ze water is trapped, all things are not born, it is advisable to keep morality and integrity, if you force it, you will be ruined. Brother Dao is familiar with yin and yang, so why do you commit two taboos? Could it be that the Venerable Driver is impatient? ”

After saying that, the old man shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked in a southwestern direction......

Frankly speaking, his way of interpreting hexagrams is not profound; Even those "Kinmen fishy ideas" (Jianghu people who cheat people out of money by divination) who are mixed in the streets and markets have a lot of mysterious "yin and yang cords, alphabet words, and sleeves"; However, although what the old man said was simple and simple, he saw through Guan Beidou's back the hexagram he discharged the first two times, which was unbelievable enough!

"Fellow Daoist! Now that you know that you are committing two murders under your order, how to resolve them? ”

Guan Beidou stood up and shouted at the other party's distant back; However, the other party did not look back, and still maintained a posture of moving forward slowly; But in the ears of the two, a clearly distinguishable voice came:

"Muzuru, to this day, haven't you suddenly woken up!"
