"The power of the Xihua Marquis Mansion in Yecheng is far from enough...... Shi Jian has 20,000 soldiers and horses in the patrol battalion, and even Wen Cang's forbidden army does not dare to disobey him! With the dark line left by my father alone, I am afraid it is difficult to compete with it. Shi Min said worriedly.

"I heard that during the day, Wu Liang was ordered by Shi Jian to go outside the city to recruit Gao Shirong's old department. Now that the news of Shi Shi's death has spread, the garrisons everywhere seem to be a little uneasy. The new emperor is still young, and there are many people with ghosts in their hearts! ”

"Shi Jian has already started his plan! He took advantage of the battle between King Qing's Mansion and King Yan's Mansion to secretly cultivate his own forces, and controlled the 20,000 soldiers and horses of the patrol battalion as he wished. Zhang Bao caused chaos in the court, and he used me as bait to eradicate Zhang Bao. And the remaining officials in the DPRK and China are just a group of self-proclaimed and incompetent people, who cannot pose a threat to him at all! Now the only thing he is afraid of is because of my Xihua Hou's influence in the Central Plains and the strength in his hands! Shi Min said.

"That's why I said, this is just the beginning." Xu San said.

"General, this Shi Jian is a battalion step by step, quite calm, I heard that the swordsmanship is outstanding, such a person, the last general thinks, it is better to kill him as soon as possible to avoid trouble!" Zhang Mufeng said to Shi Min.

"It's not easy to take his life! Today, Wang Chong and I went to the Ning Palace, and the people under Shi Jian are all first-class masters, otherwise Wang Chong would not be injured. There are those people, even if I go in person, I am not completely sure! And after tonight's incident, Ning Wangfu will definitely be on guard, and it will be even more difficult to take his life! ”

"There is one more problem at the point!" Xu San thought for a while and said, "Don't forget, Childe, someone stole the news that Lu An gave you before, and this person still doesn't know who it is!" This person should be Shi Jian's meticulous work! With such an unknown person by your side, if you want to deal with Shi Jian, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult! ”

"Finesse? What is the fine work? Zhang Mufeng asked.

"Keep this quiet!" Shi Min said to Zhang Mufeng: "I'm not sure who it is!" ”

"Third uncle, what's going on?" Zhang Mufeng looked dazed.

"The rumored thing in Yecheng before was that someone peeked at Lu An's letter to Gongzi and revealed the secret, if I didn't guess wrong, this person was doing things for Shi Jian!"

"Up and down the house, they are all people who were taken in by the general back then, and they are like family members, who would do such a shameless betrayal??" Zhang Mufeng asked.

"Before you are sure who it is, you two must not leak the news, so as not to startle the snake." Shi Min commanded.

"Yes......" Xu San responded.

"General......

"Remember, hold your breath! No one can say. Shi Min said to Zhang Mufeng again.

Zhang Mufeng shook his head and said, "When Lu An sent the letter that day, I was also in the house, it stands to reason that I am also suspicious, you ......"

Shi Min waved his hand and said, "You and I are brothers who share life and death, you will definitely not betray the Xihua Hou Mansion!" I definitely don't doubt you on this issue! ”

"General Xie trusts!" Zhang Mufeng was very moved.

......

Wu Liang came to the camp of Gao Shirong's old department alone, and Wang Luan, who led the leader, was Gao Shirong's most relied on subordinate and was regarded as his confidant. Wu Liang brought the news of Gao Shirong's death, and this news undoubtedly caused great resentment in Wang Luan.

Since entering the camp, Wang Luan has not summoned Wu Liang from beginning to end, although Wu Liang shoulders the entrustment of this stone jian, but in fact, he is also trembling in his heart, because he is worried that this Wang Luan has a brain fever for a while, and he will kill him to vent his anger.

This night, Yecheng was not peaceful, and Wu Liang, who was in Wang Luan's military camp, was also tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

At about dawn, Wu Liang was secretly whistling, when suddenly, the curtain of the camp tent was opened, and two armor soldiers broke in directly.

Wu Liang was awakened, and hurriedly got up and shouted, "What are you doing!" ”

One of them said, "Our general wants to see you!" Come with us! ”

As soon as the words fell, before Wu Liang could react, the two people took Wu Liang out on the left and right.

"Let go of me!" Wu Liang struggled.

But Wu Liang, who was powerless, no matter how much he struggled, it was useless. The two armor soldiers were like carrying a chicken, and brought Wu Liang to Wang Luan.

Wang Luan's eyes were red and bloodshot, his face was a little haggard, and he looked like he had not slept all night. Wu Liang pretended to be calm and stood there, but he didn't dare to look directly at Wang Luan.

"Lord Wu, did you sleep well this night?" Wang Luan asked coldly.

Wu Liang said: "With heavy responsibilities, food is tasteless, and sleep is uneasy. ”

Wang Luan snorted coldly and asked again, "What kind of explanation do you plan to give to my 30,000 brothers for the death of Lord Gao!" ”

Wu Liang took a deep breath, he looked at these people in the military tent, all of them had fierce faces, knowing that they were worried about Gao Shirong's death, if his words could not satisfy them today, I am afraid that he would not be able to leave alive. Thinking of this, Wu Liang also hated Shi Jian, but now he is desperate, his family is all in Shi Jian's hands, and he has no choice at all.

"General Gao has been loyal to the monarch all his life, he is a loyal minister, and he is also a real soldier! This is deeply admired under the next! Wu Liang said, quietly glanced at Wang Luan's reaction, and saw that there was no abnormality in his eyes, so he continued: "Outsiders may only know that General Gao died under the chaotic knife of the palace, but if you think about it carefully, all this is a disaster, and it all stems from Zhang Bao!" ”

"Really?" Wang Luan said with some disdain: "I heard that when Zhang Bao or, you Lord Wu was his right-hand man, and he won his trust, and now Zhang Bao has just been ambushed, you have defected and changed your tone, I am afraid that this kind of behavior is a little shameless, right?" ”

Wu Liang frowned slightly and said, "What General Wang said is true!" There are indeed great mistakes in the subordinates, so today, firstly, in order to atone the merits, and secondly, to advise the generals, do not follow the old path of General Gao. ”

"What do you mean!" When Wang Luan heard this, he was very displeased.

"The general is a little restless, Wu means that General Gao has been loyal and upright all his life, and he does not dare to compete with General Gao, but the two of us have been deceived by Zhang Bao, I thought that we could show our strength with him, and Kuang Fu Sheji, but I didn't expect that what he considered was to become a king! So general, don't compare General Gao and Zai Xia with Zhang Bao! ”

"Humph! Wu Liang, you are really eloquent! Naturally, you can't compare with General Gao! But I am afraid that such a statement will not convince my brothers! ”

After speaking, several lieutenants beside Wang Luan were already ready to draw their knives.

"Wait!" Wu Liang hurriedly shouted.

"How?" Wang Luan got up slowly, walked over to Wu Liang, and said, "I don't think you have anything to say, why don't you go with Zhang Bao early!" ”

"General Wang, you killed me today, what are the consequences, have you ever thought about it?" Wu Liang asked.

"Hehe, Wu Liang, death is on the verge of death, what words do you want to use to intimidate me? We, brothers, have not seen any battles in the sea of swords and fires for decades? Wang Luan sneered.

"I know you're not afraid of death, but killing you won't do you any good!" Wu Liang gritted his teeth and said, "Since you, General Wang, are you not afraid of heaven and earth, are you still afraid of finishing your words in the next place!" ”

Wang Luan is naturally also a person who wants to save face, and Wu Liang said this, which happened to hit his weakness.

"Tell me about it! If there is a strong reason for me not to kill you, my Wang Luan will never break his word! ”

"Although I am guilty now, since I came to you, I am representing the court, if you kill me, it is to rebel!"

"The imperial court killed General Gao, and if our brothers rebelled, they would also rebel!" Wang Luan said.

"Wrong! Miss by a mile! Wu Liang deliberately raised his voice and said: "It has been four or five days since General Gao died, but the imperial court has not publicized that General Gao is Zhang Bao's comrade, why?" Because General Gao died in battle, not for Zhang Bao, but for the honor of the soldiers, for his name of loyalty! The new emperor knows this, and the court also knows it! So, General Wang, do you want General Gao to be at peace in the heavens, and fall into the name of a traitor? ”

Wang Luan was stunned for a moment, Wu Liang's words hit the nail on the head, leaving him speechless for a while.

"Then again! Wu said softly, kill me, it's nothing! My family is small, and it's nothing, but where do you tens of thousands of brothers go? Have you ever wondered? Rebellion? Just by virtue of your territory in Luoyang and several surrounding counties? Wu Liang shook his head, pretended to be in a posture, and said: "Don't hide it from General Wang, before you set off yesterday, I just heard that at the same time as you set off from Luoyang, Shi Min had already sent his wolf cavalry captain, ready to intercept and kill your vanguard cavalry troops halfway!" I know that you are Emperor Gaozu's personal guards and horses, and your combat power is not bad, but I'm afraid there is still a gap compared with the elite division of the Xihua Marquis Mansion, right? One Xihuahou Mansion alone is enough for you, General! Isn't it? ”
