Jin Liang still didn't have confidence in Su Gu's calmness, he pointed to Lu Zhao Jin Zizhan who joined the third division beside Su Gu: "White Rabbit, if you want to send troops, you must get Zi Zhan's consent before you can send troops." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Lu Zhao was just twenty years old, and he joined the Central Army for only two months, and he joined the army in one division, in addition to his own talent. The more important reason is that he is the righteous brother recognized by Jin Liang.

Jin Liang has always advocated meritocracy, but if his relatives are capable, he will not avoid his relatives, and he sometimes envies the luck of Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty. There is a powerful brother-in-law Wei Qing and nephew Huo Quai. Among Jin Liang's relatives who are now in touch with his deceased, Wei Xu does not need to be said. No virtue and no talent have already been killed, the more powerful ones are the righteous sons Lu Meng and Zhuge Liang, if they are cultivated well, they will become great weapons, and the righteous brothers Lu Dai, Lu Fan, Lu Chang, Jin Jian, Lu Zhao, these five people are very capable but were buried by Luo Guanshui's romance, Jin Liang wants to cultivate them well this time, and do not ask them to reach the point of Lu Meng and Zhuge Liang, at least they can be on their own, Lu Zhao was promoted quickly under Jin Liang's thinking.

Of course, Lu Zhao was quickly promoted, and there is a special background, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there were not many literate people and most of them were children of the family or the children of the Hanshu, the children of the family disdained Jin Liang's humble background, and did not want to succumb to Jin Liang, and those children of the Hanshu were also unwilling to enlist in the army, so that there were only a handful of literate people who could persuade people to be qualified to take on all the responsibilities of joining the army, and it would take a while for Jin Liang's pacification brigade to train to join the army, and the division headquarters would be responsible for all the ideological and logistical matters of 10,000 soldiers and 10,000 auxiliariesAlthough Jin Liang has a lot of talents, most of them are high-level talents, and middle-level talents are actually faulty, after all, they are not as good as the savings of many princes of the family for hundreds of years.

Su Gu glanced at Lu Zhao with respect and awe, this kid looks very young, and he relies on the support of his brother Jin Liang, he thinks he is a gentleman, who knows that Lu Zhao has a lot of means, just after more than ten days in office, he put the military police team in order, and established the majesty of the division headquarters.

Jin Liang requisitioned 2,000 elite cavalry from the third division, and the third division belonged to the regular infantry division, with only one cavalry brigade, and only one scout cavalry team in each other brigade, and this cavalry brigade had 2,000 soldiers and 2,000 auxiliaries.

Jin Liangzheng transferred 2,000 elite cavalry, although the main purpose was to enhance the combat power of the central elite cavalry attacking the Xiangyang rebels, and also had the intention of preventing Zhenggu from blindly attacking Shijiawu Fort, in case this guy rashly sent troops to attack Shijiawu Fort, Liyang City was empty, and Guan Hai and other Yellow Turban remnants would inevitably not be worried.

When Jin Liang's army marched to Huang Ze, Dian Nong Zhonglang greeted Han Hao, Jin Liang and Han Hao have the grace of knowing each other, and have the friendship of confidants, Han Hao will not betray Jin Liang, Jin Liang has this confidence. Sure enough, as soon as Han Hao learned that there was a change in Xiangyang, he allocated 20,000 Tuntian soldiers to Jin Liang to call.

The 20,000 Tuntian soldiers are the elite of the 60,000 Tuntian soldiers, barely better than the auxiliary soldiers of the Central Army, which can be used for siege and deterrent rebels. In order to speed up the march, 20,000 Tuntian soldiers equipped with all infantry equipment got on 400 carriages and followed 22,000 elite horsemen to Xiangyang.

After another ten miles, there was a report from the front that Gao Lan, the commander of the Fifth Division, who was staying in the camp outside Xiangyang City, sent a messenger to ask for a meeting, and the messenger said that Lu Jun, the captain of the city gate, had rebelled and locked the four gates to prevent Gao Ran from entering the city.

Jin Liang smiled coldly on his face and asked the messenger to step forward and explain the details.

Looking at the courier's attire, it seems to be a captain of the Central Army, short in stature, described as rickety, with his head bowed all the time, and looks characterless except ugly, and he can't be found at a glance in the crowd.

The messenger hurried to Jin Liang's horse, and as he walked, he shouted loudly: "Lord Qi, Lu Jun, the captain of the city gate, has rebelled, and the senior commander has ordered me to come and report to the lord in detail!" Lord, according to the investigation of Master Gao, Lu Jun had many conspirators, and some generals who went to crusade against Dong Zhuo were also involved. His voice was hoarse, sounding like a crow, very ugly, and Zou Qing behind Jin Liang couldn't help but cover his ears.

Jin Liang smiled slightly and said, "Come closer and tell me, who is involved?" ”

The messenger hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "My lord, you are riding on the red rabbit horse, too far away, I speak in a small voice, I am afraid you will not hear it, and the voice is loud, I am afraid that others will hear it." ”

Jin Liang smiled faintly: "Then I'll get off the horse and listen to you." Then he turned over and dismounted, and stood there waiting for the man to come over.

The messenger walked up to Jin Liang: "I have a list of traitorous generals here, and General Gao asked me to hand it over to you." As he spoke, he took it into his arms.

What he pulled out was indeed a piece of paper, which looked thick and yellow, with some names written on it.

The messenger respectfully handed the piece of paper to Jin Liang, who took it with one hand.

Just as Jin Liang's hand was about to touch the piece of paper, the man raised his head, his eyes were white, black, bloodshot, full of resentful light, and he held a dagger with cold light in his hand, and stabbed at Jin Liang.

Zou Qing, who was behind Jin Liang, couldn't help but open his mouth wide and screamed in fear when he saw the man's ugly face and the cold dagger.

The other officers and soldiers of the Central Army were all on horses, and they didn't have time to rescue, they could only watch as the dagger stabbed Jin Liang's front heart.

Suddenly, there was a terrible scream, and the messenger's hand with the dagger fell to the dust, and the dagger fell to the ground with a clang.

Jin Liang held the Seven Star Treasure Knife in his right hand, a drop of blood flashed on the knife, dripping dust, and disappeared in an instant, the knife surface was extremely smooth, as if he had never seen blood.

After the man screamed, he saw that the assassination had failed, and he bit his tongue and killed himself.

Dian Wei turned over and dismounted, and stepped forward to confess: "The last general is not well protected, so that the lord is frightened." ”

Jin Liang shook his head: "Before he came over, you guys wanted to search his body, so let them come over?!" ”

Dian Wei sighed: "But he said that the military situation is critical, and he needs to see the lord on the horse." ”

Jin Liang scolded: "No matter how critical the military situation is, it will not delay the search for a period of time!" If the evil comes, the order will go down, and all visitors who meet the chief general and join the army must be searched, so that all the military police must remember this, and if the chief generals at all levels are assassinated in the army, the military police on duty will be beheaded. ”

In order to ensure their personal safety, there are military policemen who supervise military discipline to shoulder the duty of guarding, and the captain of a squad and the army are escorted by five gendarmes, and a division commander and a division is escorted by 100 gendarmes. Of course, in addition to supervising military discipline and guards, these gendarmes also have some power to supervise the participation of the commander-in-chief in the army, because these gendarmes secretly and compulsorily joined the CIA, and their duties are equivalent to those of the Jinyi guards in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Yun smiled and asked, "Lord, how did you notice that there was something wrong with this person?" ”

Jin Liang sneered: "First of all, this fool said that Lu Jun, the captain of the city gate, rebelled, this is obviously a lie, then Lu Jun was promoted by me to be the captain of the city gate, Lu Jun is from a Wu Jun family, and he has no dealings with Yang Biao, Zheng Tai and others, so it is impossible to rebel with them." Secondly, he said that there are generals who are involved in asking for Dong, and the generals who are courting Dong with me are the generals who are the most loyal to me and have the most promising future, how can they rebel against those guys who are not in the climate. Then, he kept talking about me and me, not talking about the last general, and not calling himself a villain, there must be a problem. Of course, his biggest problem is that when he came over, he obviously had a murderous aura on his body! ”

"Murderous?" Dian Wei scratched his head: "Why didn't I notice it at all?" ”

Jin Liang squinted at the assassin's corpse: "That's because he focused all his hatred on me, I must have done something that made him resentful before." Evil, search carefully, there will be discovery! ”

Dian Wei led people to search the man's body, and when he found the man's lower body, he exclaimed: "The lord is really a god!" There was something strange about this man, he was castrated underneath him, and he was bare. ”

Zhao Yun stepped forward, took a closer look, and frowned: "Looking up from the castrated wound of this person, it seems that he was castrated when he grew up, and he should not be a eunuch in the palace." ”

Jin Liang turned his head and asked Wu Anguo: "Yuan Fang, what do you think?" ”

After Wu Anguo was given the word Yuan Fang by Jin Liang, for some reason, Jin Liang often asked him "Yuan Fang, what do you think", but fortunately, he Wu Anguo was not a reckless man who could only play with a sledgehammer. He was very calm. is good at observing things, and the words he occasionally says also give Jin Liang a lot of inspiration, so Jin Liang will take the trouble to ask him many times, "Yuanfang, what do you think?" ”

Wu Anguo took a closer look at the man's body: "Lord, the calluses on his hands don't look like they have been sharpened by years of hard work, but they seem to have been sharpened in recent months, his skin is delicate and fair, and his wrists are slender, not like he was born in a poor family, but he is very similar to some family members." ”

Guo Jia heard Wu Anguo say this, and thought about it for a while. Then he said to Jin Liang: "My lord, do you think this assassin is the brother of the family you ordered to castrate?" ”

When Jin Liang heard Guo Jia say this, he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Three months ago, the former Wei County Taishou Li Cheng colluded with several families to rebel together. was easily broken by Jin Liang, and in order to deter other families in Jizhou, Jin Liang castrated all the direct male family members of Li Cheng and other five families, and then sent them to mining.

This person was rescued and sent to assassinate, which shows that Yang Biao, Zheng Tai and others not only rescued the younger brothers of the five families such as Li Cheng, but also rescued the younger brothers of more than ten families that Jin Liang exterminated in the winter training a month ago.

Jin Liang deduced these possible facts though. But he didn't make these inferences, and Kim knew very well in his heart that any bad news now could hit morale.

Jin Liang just frowned slightly, and sighed: "It seems that we have hidden our traces in vain, and the enemy has already prepared, so let's arrive in Xiangyang early and adapt to the situation." ”

Jin Liang's army traveled another seven or eight miles, and someone in front reported that Lu Jun, the captain of the city gate, had sent someone to ask for help.

The messenger was eight feet long, and his face was broad. Qi Yu Xuanang, riding on a white horse, usually has the appearance of a hero, but now he is covered in blood and his hair is scattered. The white horse was also covered with blood, and was about to become a red horse. It's embarrassing.

When the messenger was about to turn over and dismount to meet Jin Liang, the white horse screamed and fell to the ground with a bang, and the man was vigorous, jumped into the air, and landed safely, but the internal wounds burst out, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Dian Wei stepped forward and ordered the man to throw away all his weapons, and the man handed the steel knife in his hand to Dian Wei, allowing Dian Wei to search all over his body.

Dian Wei searched out a few flying knives from behind him, but did not find any other weapons, so he stepped forward to see Jin Liang.

The man stepped forward and bowed to Jin Liang and said, "The captain of the city gate, Lu Jun, has seen the lord under the tent of the captain Dong Xi, the situation in Xiangyang is urgent, Gao Ran and Lu Chong have all rebelled!" At the beginning, it was Yang Biao, Zheng Tai, Bian Rang and other private soldiers of the family who rebelled, Gao Ran said that he wanted to enter the city to quell the chaos, Lu Xiaowei noticed that Gao Lan's army was missing many familiar faces, and felt that there was something strange, and did not let Gao Ran enter the city, Gao Ran suddenly turned his face, announced the siege of the city, and led the troops from the inside to cooperate, under the internal and external attacks, Lu Xiaowei was outnumbered and unable to resist, so he let the last general come to Huang Ze to ask Han Hao, the general of Diannong, for help, and fortunately met the lord. ”

After Dong Xi finished speaking, he coughed up another mouthful of blood, and his body collapsed, fainting to the ground.

Jin Liang hurriedly asked the accompanying military doctor to treat him, the military doctor took off the armor on Dong Raid's body and took a closer look, Dong Raid was hit by eight arrows, although none of them hit the vital point, but the blood did not stop, Dong Raid ran over with a strong breath.

Jin Liang hurriedly asked Dong Xi to be carried into the carriage, and the military doctors and medical soldiers took out the arrows, cleaned and disinfected, and dressed them.

The brigade continued to march towards Xiangyang, traveling for a few miles, and along the way, it received four or five hundred defeated soldiers one after another, all of whom were officers and soldiers of the Fifth Division who refused to attach themselves to Gao Lan's rebellion, and through their descriptions, Jin Liang knew how Gao Ran launched the rebellion.

The Fifth Division was stationed in the camp south of Xiangyang City, and yesterday evening, more than a dozen carriages came from the city, tightly wrapped, saying that Situ Yang Biao and Sikong Liu Hong sent people to reward the soldiers of the Fifth Division, and the soldiers guarding the camp gate opened the first car to check, which contained a lot of pork and mutton, and the guards at the camp gate were ready to continue the inspection.

That night, Gao Ran summoned the battalion commander and the generals above the battalion to drink, he drugged the wine, and tried to wipe out the generals loyal to Jin Liang at the banquet, but because Jin Liang had issued a ban on alcohol in view of the shortage of food before Jin Liang's crusade against Dong Zhuo, those generals loyal to Jin Liang refused to drink, Gao Ran had no choice but to change his strategy. At the fourth watch, the officers and men of the Fifth Division were sleeping soundly, and more than 500 dead soldiers of the family poured out of the dozen or so carriages, and they infiltrated the barracks in the camp to assassinate those brigade commanders and battalion commander-level generals who were loyal to Jin Liang.

Due to the surprise, most of the generals of the Fifth Division who were loyal to Jin Liang were assassinated by the dead soldiers of the family, and only seven or eight generals such as Lu Chang, the deputy commander of the Fifth Division, survived because of their timely response.

Gao Ran saw that most of the generals loyal to Jin Liang were eliminated, so he sounded the drum to gather the soldiers of the Fifth Division, announced the secret edict of Fengtian, crusading against the usurper Jin Liang, Gao Ran commanded the Fifth Division for four months, and cultivated a lot of cronies, his cronies and the family died more than 2,000 people, and the following soldiers were leaderless, and Gao Ran was even frightened and blinded, and had no choice but to follow the thief. There were also more than 1,000 soldiers who were loyal to Jin Liang and were unwilling to surrender to Gao Ran, so they tried to rush out, but were chased and killed by Gao Ran's troops, and only four or five hundred escaped, and the rest were all killed.

When Jin Liang heard this, he was furious and said: "Gaolan dog thief, Benhou must avenge the dead Jingzhong martyrs and sacrifice your dog's life for them!" ”

In the evening of this day, the army arrived at the south gate of Xiangyang, it was already late, the city gate hung the head of the landing horse, and the head of the city was planted with the banner of Gaolan.

Jin Liang didn't know the situation in the city and was anxious.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the south gate tower, and a person flew down the city tower like a wild goose in the sky, flying over the moat, swaying from side to side, dodging the shooting of the archers at the head of the city, and rushing towards the central army.

Jin Liang looked at the figure of the person, and knew who the other party was, and Dian Wei also wanted to follow Jin Liang's instructions and search his body.

The man stepped forward with a big grin and puffed up his chest: "Search, you search, come to evil, old lady, I will lend you another guts!" ”

Jin Liang shouted angrily: "Wu Amaranth, what time is it now!" Just kidding! Tell me what's going on in Xiangyang now? ”

It turned out that the person who came was Wu Amaranth, the commander of the Dark Fragrance Division, although she had a plump chest and towered into the clouds, but it could not affect her body, and she fell down from the three-zhang high city wall, like a flying immortal.

Wu Yuan put away the ridicule on his face, but also said with a relaxed face: "Lord, several master mothers and the Queen Mother asked their subordinates to tell you, please don't worry, although the palace has been lost, the Queen Mother and Tian have been transferred to the Central Castle, and the Central Castle has not been lost for the time being under the defense of Chen to 2,000 guards." ”

Jin Liang relieved his heart and asked again, "Who is involved in this rebellion?" ”

Wu Yuan said: "There are more than a dozen families such as Situ Yang Biao, Sikong Liu Hong, Zheng Tai, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Bian Rang, and the Judge Family, the Wang Family, and the Jin Family. ”

Jin Liang snorted coldly: "I expected them to rebel, how many rebels are there in Xiangyang now, and how many people are loyal to us?" ”

Wu Yuan thought for a while: "There are Situ Yang Biao, Sikong Liu Hong, Zheng Tai, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Bian Rang and more than a dozen other family soldiers, and there are about 80,000 people in Xiangyang.

Zheng Tai originally wanted Gao Ran and Lu Chong to besiege the Central Castle together, take the Central Castle as soon as possible, capture the Queen Mother, Tianhe and the families of the senior generals of the Central Army, so that the Central Army could collapse without a fight, but the soldiers of Gao Ran's Fifth Division did not want their own people to fight their own people, and they were passive and sluggish, just at this time came the news that the lord had arrived in Xiangyang quickly, Zheng Tai had to let Gao Ran lead the soldiers of the Fifth Division to defend the city, and Lu Chong led more than 60,000 other rebels to besiege the Central Castle.

The Yulin army defending the palace was almost wiped out, Wu Chong, the captain of the Yulin school, was killed in battle, Hu Ben Zhonglang led Wang Yue with two thousand tiger troops and the remnants of the Yulin army scattered to various houses, and assassinated the traitors of the family, and the favored CIA and his subordinate Dark Xiang Division also participated in the assassination, hundreds of family brothers were assassinated, Yang Biao, Liu Hong and others spared their lives and were dividing their troops to search the whole city, and our assassins were safe and sound under the cover of the poor people of Xiangyang. ”

Jin Liang suddenly thought: "Isn't Zheng Hun the Ordnance Division the younger brother of Zheng Tai, he seems to be in the armory field in the central castle, will he be in harmony with his brother?" ”

Wu Yuan said with a smile: "The lord is too worried, it is because Zheng Hun commanded the craftsmen of the Ordnance Department to repel the rebel attack with thunderbolts and crossbows, otherwise Chen Zhi only had 2,000 men under his command, and it would be difficult to hold it." ”

Zhao Yunce immediately stepped forward: "Lord, for the sake of today, it is better to attack the city as soon as possible and solve the rebels, otherwise Xiangyang is in the hands of the rebels, and the officers and soldiers of our army do not know whether their families are well, and the people are panicking, and the temporarily neutral families in Jizhou will also take the opportunity to make trouble!"
