Chapter 224: Passing the Torch (1)

"Say! Who sent you? Did Situ Yuan Kui ask you to come...... Dog thing, dare to have a hard mouth, give me a pump! ”

"What benefits did Taiwei Deng and Yuzhou Assassin Wang Yun give you? How dare you gather a crowd to make trouble! He also dared to coerce the Holy Lord to murder his relatives! Are you a party member? Damn, dare to spit out Lao Tzu, I'm tired of you! ”

"Youzhou people? Did the news come from Zhuo County? Lu Zhi Lu Zi did it, right? He colluded with the Black Mountain thieves to try to rebel? Say! Don't worry, say it boldly! As long as you say it, Zhao Zhonglang will have a heavy reward! Your Majesty will reward you too! Seal you as a great official, so that your children and grandchildren will have no ...... You don't have to die! I'm going to chop you up! ”

As soon as February begins, there will be more spring rains, at this time it is a continuous drizzle, the soldiers outside the city of Luoyang gathered, the people surrounded, in the middle of the bloodstained wooden stakes next to a lot of corpses, the wooden stakes tied to the people, the sergeants gathered together in groups of three or five, are holding weapons to those people to torture to extract confessions.

"I was asked by the Ten Attendants! They said that they had no eggs, and they were so ashamed that they wanted to die! Hahaha! ”

"Phew! You pigs and dogs are not as good as beasts! Lao Tzu will not let you go! ”

"Murdering loyalty, reversing right and wrong, aiding and abetting, you will not be able to die a good death one day——!"

"Generals, have mercy on me...... Woo woo, I'm really hungry, my dad is still ...... Yes! I don't want to lie, I said that when I go back, I will definitely die, I will die...... Yes! Pain! Don't smoke it! Please...... I just want to have a good day, woowoo......"

Those who were bound, some laughed and laughed, some scolded, and some wept bitterly, and then lost their lives in the words, and the stakes were replaced by other "fellow parties".

"Ah......hh Stop it! Stop it! I admit it! Be! It was General He who told me to do it! That's him! He teamed up with the three princes and wanted to rebel! ”

"That's right, it's Huangfu Song! There are also Liu Yan, Wang Yun, Xu Xuan, Jia Cong, Gong Jing...... These assassins, they teamed up, colluded with the Black Mountain thieves, and wanted to seek a usurpation of the throne! ”

"That's right! That Liu Zheng and Taishou Gongsun Zan had long colluded with Wuhuan Xianbei in an attempt to rebel, and that "Mulan Ci" was an anti-poem that played on the saint! In fact, it was all Lu Zhi and Xun Shuang's idea! This time, Lu Zhi went back to Youzhou, planning to conspire with those Han clan relatives and scholars to rebel...... Belch! ”

However, those people always said in the middle of their words, and suddenly bows and arrows and spears flew out and took their lives, or some people jumped out with a loud cry, some of them broke through and killed those who were telling the truth, and some of them also died by the sword.

There are many such things, around the city wall, there are still local conflicts happening, the court soldiers are cold, the sound of killing is shocking, the wind sweeps the people like falling leaves, and then the riots are suppressed, corpses are everywhere, torture to extract confessions continues to happen, stacks of crimes related to non-eunuch officials are sorted out and sent into the city.

Zhao Yun even saw a fellow colleague from the cottage, who had come to explore the road in advance, and he didn't know what he had experienced and was caught and tied to a wooden stake, and a soldier shouted to the colleague: "Where is Zhang Yan!" Zhang Yan ......"

"Phew! You turtle grandchildren! Dare to kill my brother ......"

The nails were suddenly uprooted, and the blood was dripping, and the man gritted his teeth and his eyes were bloody, "You guys wait!" I, the Black Mountain Army, should let the Holy Lord kill you dog officers! The Alliance Leader will definitely avenge me! ”

"Dare to be hard-mouthed! Confess Zhang Yan's location! Let me tell you, as long as you confess his position and the bounty is a thousand taels, Lao Tzu will not have such a good chance...... Damn, do you want to talk about it?! Are you his confidant? Did he collude with General He, Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, and Liu Yan? They're all colluding with you remnants of the Yellow Turban Thieves, aren't they? You name it, and you'll have a good life! It's more than a hundred times better than him Zhang Yan! Say! Are they not plotting rebellion! ”

"Rebel against your mother! They just want your whole family to be dependent, hahaha, they are going to put your whole family on the bed......" The ring knife slowly entered the lower abdomen, and the colleague "uh——! After a while, he suddenly bit the nose of the soldier who was approaching, bit hard, and then was cut off with a knife, and was chopped up by the soldier again.

The soldier was covered in blood, his nose was rotten, his eyes widened and he scanned the shouting crowd viciously, and then stretched out his hand and pointed, "You, just you!" Come here! ”

The crowd dispersed in panic, and then a woman was pushed out, and the woman could be seen holding the baby in her arms in the gap, and the soldier had already met him, Zhao Yun pinched the corner gun and wanted to step forward - in fact, he had been working hard for a long time to step forward, but behind him Pinghan firmly dragged his arm, and it didn't take long for him to watch the baby being thrown to the ground, and the cry stopped abruptly under the spear's spike, and the woman rushed towards the soldier like crazy: "Child! My baby! Kill you, kill you bastards......"

The woman's tragic death under the spear made the crowd excited, and the crowd began to surge forward, and there were formations of soldiers rushing over to kill, blood flowed like a river, the crowd broke up, and Zhao Yun was also pulled back.

Along the way, Zhao Yunhong was silent with red eyes. He knew that he couldn't do anything, even if he saved it, it would be a drop in the bucket, and now he should wait for Zhang Yan to gather people and hug him together, but ......

I really want to kill the fucking people!

The two returned to a forest, next to the carriage, Cai Nu was communicating with a person dressed as a small maid.

"Okay, I see what Mr. Jane means. You asked Sister Feng'er to pay attention to concealment...... By the way, don't let Miss Zou come here...... After all, he is a disciple of the owner, so pay attention to proportion...... If you really can't stop it, you let Brother Nan Guo and Sister Feng'er discipline her in my name...... Yes, let's fight. It's okay, heh, don't I have Mr. Jane above...... Go ahead, stay safe, remember that if you can't do anything here, don't do it, your life matters. ”

The little guy and Shiren left in a hurry, Zhao Yun glanced at Cai Nu, and talked to Tong Yuan and a dozen or so guards about what he had seen and heard, Ping Han walked to Cai Nu's side and looked left and right, "How is the situation in the court?" ”

In this month and a half, they divided their troops into zero, although they could occasionally hear something from passers-by, most of them were just a few words, at this time they witnessed the whole process, and knew that what they did was used by the eunuchs, Pinghan couldn't help but worry that those loyal ministers and righteous people in the court would be exterminated by the eunuchs because of this matter.

Although he inquired about the situation, this group of eunuch soldiers has been coercing and seducing for more than half a month, but the emperor has not yet made a decision, but as early as half a month ago, the people who came to the outside of Luoyang City have exceeded 10,000, and the imperial army has driven them several times, and even tortured and killed many people, but the number of people has increased more and more, rising towards 20,000, in this case, the emperor's attitude is very important, that is, a little wavering, if you want to appease the people, they will be much easier.

"I heard that the emperor lost his temper."

Cai looked at Luoyang City angrily, with a hint of worry in his eyes, "It is said that a group of Diao people dared to threaten him with their lives to kill the Ten Standing Attendants, so do you want to threaten him to kill his family another day, or even ask him to commit suicide......

"It's best to commit suicide, it's a hundred."

Ping Han smiled, but his eyes narrowed slightly, "The people are useless, what about the people above?" I also heard He Jin's name, these people are so bold? How dare you say that in front of so many people? Aren't you afraid that He Jin will lead the troops to retaliate in the name of the general? ”

"What is the revenge, the emperor issued an order a few days ago and sealed Zhao Zhongping as a thief general, and no one else is allowed to interfere...... He Jin is now closed. It's sleek. He must know that if he intervenes in this matter, he will inevitably be regarded as the leader of the clan of the Shi clan, and then he will be defeated by the eunuch party, and he will be pulled down. I also heard that Guo Sheng, the regular servant of the Zhongchang in the past, was gracious to Empress He when she entered the court and became a nobleman, so he went to ask Empress He, and Empress He asked him not to make a move......"

Cai Nu looked at those scenes of coercion and temptation, and suddenly seemed to realize something, and then changed his words and said in a deep voice: "Now this matter is a mess. Both sides of the court must be scolding and scolding, but the emperor is all in the emperor, he doesn't take these 'self-righteous' people in his eyes, where do the courtiers dare to meddle in Zhao Zhongping's 'thief'. And ......"

A few more women and children fell in a pool of blood in the chaos, and even some soldiers robbed a few women and brought them back to the camp, his eyebrows jumped, "A few days ago, Taiwei Deng actually took action and brought someone to stop him, but he was humiliated by Zhao Zhong and rushed back, and Taiwei Deng also threatened to tell the emperor, I heard that I went once, and I fell ill when I came back...... Scold. The courtiers want the emperor to be diligent in government affairs, but the ten permanent servants can please the emperor and let him enjoy, the emperor wants to have fun, and it is good that he does not have a courtier. ”

"Not to mention the people, in fact, they scolded the ten permanent servants for being greedy, which means that the emperor is greedy...... If we continue like this, we will either lose all our efforts or break out into war......"

Ping Han grinned, but his eyes became cold, but he glanced at Cai Nu imperceptibly, just by knowing about the queen, he was afraid that there were people in the inner courtyard of Cai Nu's palace, and this inference means that Liu Gongzi's connections have penetrated deep into the harem?

"Probably...... If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that Zhao Zhong will do this because he has already found our people as internal responses, and he expects to be able to wipe out the Black Mountain Army. Otherwise, no one would be so crazy. The Montenegrin army openly claimed that nearly a million people had come, and then there was chaos among the people inside and outside the city, and now General Huangfu has dispatched a large army to garrison Chang'an to defend against the thieves in Liangzhou, and the troops are obviously insufficient......"

Cai Nu glanced around and sighed, "We have to be careful these days. ”

Ping Han scoffed, "Maybe they're really stupid." ”

"Dare to slander all the people and things related to the court scholars, do you think they are really not afraid to push the scholars to join us to attack Luoyang?"

"Perhaps, they are pampered and arrogant, and they think that our millions of people are bluffing?"

Ping Han raised his chin towards the crowd, "After all, there are only about 20,000 people here. Or ......"

"You want to push it?"

Cai Nu's face turned pale.

Although he was involved in the whole plan, he still made his heart tremble when he said it in vain.

In fact, the choice to arrive in February was originally intentional for him.

The first few days of February are the two festivals of cold food and Qingming Festival.

This period of time is of special significance to Hermes-Epitek.

The cold food festival bids farewell to the old fire and welcomes the new fire, which originally represents that the people want a good omen for the New Year, but at the same time, it is also a day to commemorate the promotion of loyalty and filial piety, during this time, the people's mood for the country and the people will rise to the highest point.

And the Qingming ancestor mourns the deceased, because of the hot and cold world in recent years, there are always people whose relatives die in vain, and it will also plant the seeds of disgust and hatred for the court in the hearts of the people.

Originally, he planned to ask for his life, but because this period of time was the easiest to arouse the resonance of the people, but if he really wanted to use troops to force the emperor to kill the ten permanent servants, Cai Nu couldn't imagine that once the people were ordered to participate in the battle to capture the cities around Luoyang under the leadership of the Black Mountain Army, would those people still be able to curb the idea of revenge at that time, if they couldn't control it, I was afraid that a man-made disaster comparable to the Yellow Turban Rebellion would break out in the world, and even make the court change hands directly......

"Big brother will agree."

Ping Han looked around again, and then looked at Zhang Yan and Yang Feng and more than 20 others who came over in the distance, with a cold light in his eyes, "Since they look down on us so much, we must let them learn and understand." I was thinking that perhaps as far as the court was concerned, we would be weaker after all, and only by taking up arms would they think that we were not beasts to be slaughtered. ”

Cai Nu clenched his fists and didn't speak, at this time, where could he still maintain the usual peace and light, his face was extremely nervous, and his eyes also looked at Zhang Yan who came over, hoping that the other party could make a more reasonable judgment.

At this moment, his heart suddenly burst out, and then he shouted: "Be careful! ”

In the field of vision, I saw that in the crowd not far from Zhang Yan and the others, many people suddenly looked at Zhang Yan in unison, and then someone took out a bow and arrow, or pinched a weapon to follow, and Pinghan had already rushed out and shouted: "Luo Shi!" ”

"Tuk!"

A bow and arrow suddenly grazed through Ping Han's waist and abdomen and nailed to the carriage beside him, Cai Nu was shocked, and was immediately pulled into the carriage by Tong Yuan, protected by a group of guards into the forest.

On the other side, Zhang Yan, Yang Fengluoshi and others were vigilant at the moment when Pinghan ran, and they didn't dare to look back, but just after running two steps, many brothers around them suddenly fell to the ground with arrows, and Lei Gong also suffered an arrow in order to push Yang Feng's arm away, and then everyone ran into the crowd nearby.

The moment the mutation occurred, except for the insiders, almost no one in the crowd noticed the situation, and at the same time that Zhang Yan, Yang Feng and others were running towards the crowd, those people ran after the bow and arrow did not achieve major results, and they were still shouting: "Whoever catches the thief, the reward is 1,000!" Zhao Zhonglang will personally help you buy an official! The Marquis of Guannai and the Assassin County Shou are up to you to choose! ”

But the voice was drowned out in a scream that erupted in vain.

The crowd began to disarray the moment the bow and arrow were fired, fleeing, pushing, and dodging...... The screams, screams, and scolding erupted almost instantly into an incomparably loud wave.

Zhang Yan was almost unable to move an inch in the oncoming crowd, and at every step there were people rushing towards him, he was pushed and staggered, barely standing firmly, and finally pulled out the ring knife on his waist, but the knife was squeezed and fell to the ground.

He had the heart to pick it up, and suddenly a man behind him screamed and fell on top of him, and he was pushed forward, pressing a big man to the ground, feeling something between them.

Looking down, a knife was inserted into the belly of the big man, he raised his head, and the big man suddenly shouted: "Find ......"

His back sank, Zhang Yan was stepped on, he looked at the big man under him and blushed, gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to hold the other party's knife and twisted it desperately, and then pushed away the people who ran over with the knife and stood up, looking at the sparse space around him, seeing many warriors with unfamiliar faces scanning left and right and froze on him, he pulled out the spear behind him with a black face, and shouted a little nervously: "A certain is Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army!" Today, please ask for the people's lives, please kill the ten permanent servants! Please help me ......."

The arrows flew in front of him, and he jerked his head down and ran with the flow of people.
