Outside the Wusheng Gate in the northern city of Chang'an, the 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Northern Army battalion temporarily stationed here are now in a somewhat embarrassing situation. Since Liu Xun, the main general, followed him into Chang'an a few days ago, he has never returned.

According to reliable sources, it is very likely that the general of the Northern Army will not be able to return. This unlucky son of the clan was imprisoned for his misdeeds because he privately mobilized a heavy army to plot misdeeds. Together with many officers and men in the army who were affected, they became the scapegoats for this major incident.

As for the matter of Fu Shouhou waiting for Dong Yan to transfer troops with the Son of Heaven Tiger Talisman, all those in the know kept silent and did not dare to leak a word to the outside world. The Son of Heaven cannot be wrong, and what is wrong is the rebellion around him. Playing the role of "backstabber" when necessary is their ultimate fate.

The 20,000 soldiers and horses without a leader could not advance or retreat, and several lieutenants did not dare to make any decisions without receiving clear instructions. In just a few days, several terrible theories circulated among the army, stirring up many uneasy emotions.

Even if the main general Liu Xun is not beheaded this time, it is very likely that he will be sent to the bitter cold land outside the Saiwai, or outside the Yumen Pass in the Western Regions, and go to these places to guard the vast territory that the Han has just obtained.

And all the officers and men of the Northern Army battalion will also usher in unprecedented changes. Whether it is the four counties of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions, or the three cities of Saishang in the grassland, what is most lacking now is the patrol of soldiers and horses. It was a matter of course that they were scattered to these places.

Such a secret rumor, of course, caused a great shock among most of the officers and men of the Northern Army. No one wants to give up such favorable conditions as guarding Chang'an and go to distant places to eat soil and gnaw sand.

The other unconfirmed news is even more terrifying. Because of the emperor's assassination, the crown prince was seriously injured, and after a game in the court, the final opinion reached was approved by the emperor, and a purge should be carried out in all the Han army.

Among the large battalions of the Northern Army, many of them are children of Chang'an, and they are particularly sensitive to such things. Although these messages from different channels are not known to be true or false. But it is better to believe that there is something than to believe that it is not. If he is really held accountable, it will undoubtedly cause a huge panic in the entire army.

The affairs of the court are far away from them. But the Black Hawk Army, which was watching them, was close at hand. Many soldiers in the Northern Army battalion were also pretentious, thinking that they were the strong army of the Han Dynasty. But when the scout team sent by this real iron-blooded army rode past dozens of feet away, the fierce murderous aura exuded from his body was secretly terrifying.

Several deputy generals of the Northern Army battalion, who had quietly watched several times, glanced at each other, and what they thought in their hearts was almost the same. If this cavalry, with a total number of more than 10,000 people, rushed over, I am afraid that the 20,000 people on my side would not be able to hold out for an hour. They have all been on the battlefield before, and they still have an eye for this.

The feeling of the sheep being surrounded by wolves is undoubtedly like a man's back, day and night. Clear instructions from within Chang'an City, why are they not in the army? All the lieutenant generals and colonels were eagerly waiting.

It was in such an atmosphere that when the sun was setting and twilight was falling, an uninvited guest came to the camp of the Northern Army.

In the Chinese military tent, several deputy generals looked at the burly man who was brought in by the patrol sergeant with different expressions, although their appearance changed greatly and was a little different, they didn't have to make much effort to recognize this former comrade.

Li Xuanji, the former general of the Northern Army battalion, who has been dead for a long time, has lost his trace since the change in Shanglinyuan, and he didn't expect to suddenly appear here, and his whereabouts came to them secretly.

Back then, Mrs. Li in the Weiyang Palace was being favored, the Li brothers were arrogant, and there were countless people in the army inside and outside the court who wanted to climb this high branch. The generals and colonels of the Northern Army battalion are naturally the first to get close to the water, and they have received countless benefits from General Li. As his confidant, Xunyi naturally had a deep relationship with many of them.

It's just that the high-rise buildings collapsed, who would have thought that the Li family would die out so soon. Not only did Li Xuanji's brothers and sisters die one after another, but even the little prince of Shuyu Palace is said to have died for no reason not long ago. The secrets in these palaces, although there is no circulation in the outside world, cannot be hidden.

And in the face of these big things, Xunyi is just a small person. No one will care about his whereabouts, and no one will think that maybe such a little person will set off a monstrous wave again!

Facing his former comrades, Xunyi, who was born with a beard, went straight to the point and directly explained his intentions. He believed that the master behind him was right, the upper and lower ranks of the Northern Army camp were now in a precarious panic, and if they were shown a path to prosperity and prosperity, they would definitely be able to pocket these 20,000 horses and become a decisive force for achieving great things. It's the perfect time!

The wind is blowing, and the horses are neighing. The five or six lieutenant generals raised their heads in shock, looked at each other, and did not believe what they had just heard.

"Xunyi, your courage is too great...... Dare to come to the Northern Army to stir up a rebellion! Don't you know what that means? Aren't those who confuse the hearts of the army afraid of being killed on the spot?! ”

"I can't imagine that after a long time, you actually defected...... How dare they think so! This is truly appalling......! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, do not listen to him. Such a dangerous thing, our Northern Army must not do it! ”

Actually, there is a little truth in what he said...... However, let's wait for General Liu to come back before making a decision! ”

"Where are we ...... Now it really is...... It's dangerous......! ”

In the fierce argument with different expressions, he heard the person with a top-secret mission sneer.

"Your General Liu Xun can't come back! He is in prison and is being subjected to severe interrogation. Don't ask how this news came about, what the two princes said in person, can it be fake? Oh, I forgot to tell you, the Sili Lieutenant's Mansion has already organized a capable force, and it won't be long before it will come to the Northern Army, what are you facing next...... Don't you understand?"

The voices of argument gradually quieted down. The generals, who had not removed their armor for several days, could not help but hold their swords. Some people suddenly feel that their palms are soaked with cold sweat. It turns out that all those worries and doubts are true! The battalion of the Northern Army really has to be regarded as a typical ...... in the army It's open!

"What? Don't you believe it? Don't pin your hopes on His Majesty the Emperor. The person sitting at the highest place of Hanyuan Hall naturally has his way of weighing, and when it is necessary to make a choice, he will not be aware of the feelings of ordinary soldiers. If you don't believe in the fate of General Liu, then think about how General Li died...... He died so miserably, and so much time has passed, has the murderer received any punishment other than being reprimanded? It's so unfair, as a man in the army, can you just bear this breath? ”

Torches were already lit everywhere in the camp, and the light of the fire flickered and brightened, and the faces of the men in the tents were cloudy. After a long time, someone sighed lowly.

"General Xun, what did the two princes plan...... Can you tell us more about that?"

Although Xunyi, who came alone, was silent, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that these people had been moved. Now you only need to work harder, and the 20,000 people who are on the edge of the city will become an angry tide that will sweep through Chang'an City!

"Huh! Good! Sure enough, the one who knows the times is Junjie. Man is a sword, and I am a fish and meat, how can I take it? Generals, the prince's plan is very thorough, and it is guaranteed to be foolproof...... There are two consequences to this...... Once successful, all of you will be ministers of the dragon, and the marquis of ten thousand households will be enough! Even if the big thing doesn't work, you can still retreat to the north, half of the country, and keep the wealth and ...... forever! ”

Night is approaching, and the sky is iron-gray. As the conspiracy unfolds, the blood and ambition finally begin to stir. Since he has a sword and a sword in his hand, is wearing iron armor and winter clothes, and has 20,000 elite soldiers in his hand, he only needs to fight boldly...... Under this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you don't even have this bit of courage, then you deserve to be mediocre!

At the same moment, in the royal pavilion not far from Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City, the Hun Hun Evil King, who had been trapped here for a long time, put on a set of leather armor that only existed by his side, ready to fight what might be the last battle of his life.

Since coming to Chang'an with those kings who came from the Western Regions and other places to meet the Han Emperor, the Evil King of Hun who has not been summoned for so much time has passed from autumn to early winter, and his mood has changed greatly.

The Huns, who had personally stabbed his brother Hugh Tu Wang for many years, suddenly felt that his life as a prisoner did not seem to be easy. In Chang'an, where the autumn breeze is bleak, everything you see is no longer the vastness of the grassland. A great sense of loss replaced the belief that he had survived, and in the night sky and starlight, the Evil King of Hun had many times held the scimitar he carried with him, wanting to look up to the sky and howl as a wolf.

Especially not so long ago, I received news from the far north. His 100,000 tribes, after being relocated to the upper valley area, did not seem to be living a very reassuring life. The tribesmen, who were accustomed to hunting on horseback, had them leave their horses and start cultivating the land, which was originally a difficult thing to adapt to in a short period of time.

Thinking of the scene of the fierce knights under his command who were forced to put down the swords in their hands, pick up the hoes, plows and other objects provided by the Han Dynasty, and bow down to work the land covered in sweat, this once majestic king was very uneasy.

Endless remorse begins to breed in this state of mind. And when he received the news sent by the two noble princes late one night, the unruly ambition inherited from the ancestors of the wolf clan was resurrected.

"Have you been in contact with someone from the Black Hawks outside the city?"

"Don't worry! Everything is fine. ”

In the seemingly calm night of Chang'an City, inside and outside the city, in the endless darkness, the stars are sparse and the clouds are moving!
