Chapter 54: The Three Heroes of the Empire
Outside the imperial capital of Luoyang, flags were displayed, guns were like a forest, and 40,000 elite troops of the empire were neatly arranged.
In front of the team, Huangfu Song was wearing a golden chain beast armor, a golden lion helmet, and a rhubarb cloak sprinkled behind him, sitting on a Xiliang yellow horse, holding a cloud swallowing gun, so not majestic. In the past, Huangfu Song guarded the northern border, and was called the golden lion by the enemy.
Huang Fu Song's side was Zhu Jun, who was also one of the three heroes of the empire, Zhu Jun wore a vermilion gold helmet, a pair of fierce armor, and a red cloak behind him to move in the wind. Holding a wind splitting knife, a rouge horse in his crotch, and Huangfu Song is not far behind.
Liu Hong stood behind the gilded officials and followed the civil and military officials, and it was the first time for Liu Hong to see Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun in military uniforms, these two people were heroic, and they really deserved to be the three heroes of the empire.
Liu Hongqiang dragged the sick body to the outside of Luoyang City, in order to see off the soldiers of the three armies, the Han Empire has reached the edge of life and death, and it will be destroyed if he is not careful, he Liu Hong does not want to be a king of the dead country, how can the foundation of the Han Empire for hundreds of years be cut off in his hands? He didn't agree, he didn't.
Liu Hong raised the wine glass in his hand and faced the three armies from afar, "I know that after drinking this glass of wine, you will go to the battlefield to quell the rebellion!" I also know that some of you will never come back, but I still hope that after your triumph, I will put a celebration wine for you here, and then I will be able to drink this wine to more people. The centuries-old foundation of the Han Empire has gotten rid of you! After speaking, Liu Hong drank all the wine in the cup, and then bowed deeply and bowed to the soldiers of the three armies.
"Swear to kill the enemy and defend my man"
"Swear to kill the enemy and defend my man"
Forty thousand armor soldiers, weapons pestle, great earthquake
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun bowed slightly on the horse, and the soldiers of the three armies drank the wine together, snapped, the wine bowl shattered to the ground, and Huangfu Song waved his spear and roared, "Victory"
"Victory! Win! Win! ”
The sonic boom shook the sky
"Departure"
In March of the first year of Zhongping in the Han Empire, Huangfu x5 Song and Zhu Jun led the eagle Yang, Tiebi, Huben, Longxiang, Sanyi and the five armies left Luoyang with the Sanhe cavalry army and marched towards Yingchuan.
In Zhuo County, Youzhou, Lu Wei stood in front of the Wenjing Gate in Confucian clothes, and there were five captains standing behind him, namely Bao Hong, Captain Bao Hong, Captain Wu Fu, Captain Wu Fu, Captain Changshui, Captain Wang Uniform, and Captain Wu Lan. Not far away is a force of 50,000 is the empire's famous five battalions of the Northern Army, the five battalions of the Northern Army formed an army in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, stationed north of Chang'an for many years, so it is called the Northern Army, is the central direct force of the Han Empire. Standing next to Lu Zhi was the dean of the Wenjing Academy, who was also Lu Zhi's senior brother Zheng Jing.
Zheng Jinghao's hair was white, his Confucian clothes were fluttering, he looked into the distance and said to Lu Zhi who was standing beside him, "Senior brother, be careful when you go"
Lu Zhi nodded and said, "Don't worry, senior brother, it's not the first time I've been on the battlefield, my ability senior brother should be clear."
Zheng Jing shook his head and sighed, "You have killed foreign enemies before, but this time it is a civil strife, and the enemies you want to destroy are the people you swore to defend before."
Lu Zhi frowned and looked at the Wenjing Academy, and looked at the small hill behind the academy.
Yes, now Taiping Dao takes advantage of the people's dissatisfaction with the imperial court to fan the flames, these so-called Yellow Turban Army are just ordinary people of the Han Empire, they can't survive anymore, so they rebelled with Taiping Dao, but since they have embarked on this road, they are enemies of the empire, and enemies of the empire are enemies of him as an imperial general.
Lu Zhi can't control the government, and he can't make the Yellow Turban Army lay down their arms and surrender, since the swords and soldiers meet, how can there be immortals, what he can do now is to quickly defeat Zhang Jiao and other Taiping Dao chief evils, this is the best way.
"General, it's time for us to go" Wu Fu stepped forward to break Lu Zhi's musings
Lu Zhi smiled at Wu Fu, then he looked at his senior brother Zheng Jing and bowed and said, "Senior brother, I'm leaving, take care of yourself."
Zheng Jing didn't turn back, just waved his hand calmly, and Lu Zhi was not verbose, rode a Dawan horse, took the five captains of the Northern Army to join the soldiers of the five battalions of the Northern Army, and rushed to Jizhou.
Confucianism is heroic, and clouds and thunder are long.
Yizhou Heming Mountain Heavenly Master Mansion, since the death of the heir Zhang Heng, the Heavenly Master Mansion is completely controlled by Zhang Xiu, the little Heavenly Master Zhang Lu Shouxiao returned, Zhang Xiu just gave Zhang Lu a vacant position.
Zhang Lu looked at the fact that there was no one among the elders of the Heavenly Master Mansion that he knew, and he seemed to understand what was going on.
Zhang Lu found Zhang Xiu at that time and said to Zhang Xiu, "I can give you the orthodox position of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, but I only have one request, I must find out who the murderer of my father is"
Zhang Xiu agreed at that time, Zhang Lu lived a reclusive life, and Zhang Xiu unscrupulously called himself a five-bucket rice master.
On this day, the Heavenly Master's Mansion came to several Taiping Daoists wearing yellow scarves,
The two people who walked in front were called Ma Xiang and Zhao Yi were the Qu Shuai of Yizhou Taiping Road, because there were not many people in Yizhou Envelope Taiping Road, so Ma Xiang and Zhao Yi were not very high in Taiping Road, but they were just small square Taoists. Since Tang Zhou and Zhang Xiu hooked up that year, Tang Zhou handed over the connection between Taiping Dao and the Heavenly Master's Mansion to Ma Xiang and Zhao Yi.
The two came to the Heavenly Master Hall and met Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu and these two people were already acquainted, and Zhang Xiu was not polite, and asked directly, "What is the matter with the two Taoist friends coming here?" ”
Ma Xiang is about thirty years old, with long red hair and yellow beard, long arms and broad waist, Ma Xiang looked at the left and right, and there was no one else, so he said: "Mi Shi, have you ever heard of something outside Sichuan?" ”
The traffic between Yizhou and the Central Plains remains unchanged, and the news of the unveiling of the Taiping Road has not yet reached here, Zhang Xiu condensed his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong outside Sichuan?" ”
Ma Xiang smiled mysteriously and said, "The Taiping Road has now been revealed, and the twenty-four counties in seven states are all surrounded by the Taiping Road."
Zhang Xiu's face changed, he hurriedly got up and came to the door, looked left and right, and saw that there was no one around, Zhang Xiu closed the door, turned around and said, "You don't want to die, say this in broad daylight"
Zhao Yuan, who was beside Ma Xiang, smiled at Zhang Xiu, got up and said, "I was excited for a while, but I didn't control it."
Zhang Xiu and Taiping Dao had already reached a consensus, Zhang Xiu turned around and sat down on his seat and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?" ”
Zhao Yuan is much better than the appearance of the five big and three rough horses, this Zhao Yuan has white skin, slender body, and some fairy wind bones, Zhao Yuan came to Zhang Xiu's side, and his face couldn't help showing excitement and said, "Now Taiping Dao is unstoppable in the Central Plains, and the soldiers are pointing directly at Luoyang." Qingzhou Mu Jiaohe has been killed by Qingzhou Taiping Dao Dafang Daoist Bu Si, and now there are only a few cities in Qingzhou that are under the control of the imperial court, but they have obviously become turtles in the urn, and they can't afford to turn over any strong winds and waves."
Zhang Xiu pondered, Zhao Yuan's words are very informative, Qingzhou Bu Si? Isn't the generous Taoist master of Qingzhou Tang Zhou? Zhang Xiu opened his mouth and asked, "Who is this Bu Si?" I've only heard of Qingzhou Tang Zhou"
Ma Xiang and Zhao Yuan glanced at each other, Tang Zhou's betrayal of the Taiping Dao, they had just learned that Tang Zhou not only betrayed the Taiping Dao, but also killed thousands of Taoists, and even killed Ma Yuanyi, who was also a generous Taoist.
Zhao Yuan knew that this Zhang Xiu and Tang Zhou had some friendship, and he didn't know how to speak for a while, Zhang Xiu looked at the expressions of the two and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with Tang Daoyou?" ”
Ma Xiang and Zhao Yuan glanced at each other, and finally Zhao Yuan opened his mouth to tell Tang Zhou about it, Zhang Xiuliang sighed after a long time, "I didn't expect him to do such a thing, it's really self-inflicted!" ”
Ma Xiang said angrily, "Yes, now this Tang Zhou has been on the wanted warrant of Taiping Dao, and he belongs to the person who must be killed."
Zhang Xiu was silent for a moment and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about him, let's talk about what else is going on with the two Taoist friends, right?" ”
After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, Zhao Yuan slowly opened his mouth and said a shocking conspiracy, it turned out that these two people felt that other Taoist masters were attacking the official army in the Central Plains, and they were in full swing, and these two people looked a little red-eyed and wanted to do something.
They planned to join forces with Zhang Xiu of Wudou Midao to start an incident in Yizhou.
After Zhang Xiu listened to what the two said, his eyes wandered on the faces of the two, and finally Zhang Xiu opened his mouth and said, "I understand the meaning of the two Taoist friends, you are afraid of being looked down upon by other Taiping Taoist masters."
Ma Xiang and Zhao Yuan smiled embarrassedly, Zhang Xiu got up and said, "Okay, I'll help the two Taoist friends, since you want to rebel, then it's not interesting to kill some small fish and shrimp."
Ma Xiang and Zhao Yuan looked at Zhang Xiu in front of them with some surprise, and Zhao Yuan asked in a trembling voice, "Do you want Mi Shi?" Zhang Xiu looked at Ma Xiang, Zhao Yuan showed an evil smile on his face, nodded and said, "Yes, if you want to kill, you have to kill the big one!" Say yes! ”
At this moment, Ma Xiang, Zhao Yuan was a little stunned, now Zhang Xiu still looks like the leader of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and Zhang Xiu at this time is more like a fierce beast from the flood wilderness, with a fierce light in his eyes.
After Ma Xiang and Zhao Yuan were stunned, they discussed with Zhang Xiu, and finally the three of them made a plan and began to act separately.
After Zhang Xiu sent the two away, he walked quickly through the Heavenly Master's Mansion to the inner hall of the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
The inner hall of the Heavenly Master's Mansion is inhabited by the little Heavenly Master Zhang Lu, Zhang Xiu is not bad to him, Zhang Xiu does not restrict his movements, and Zhang Lu is enshrined with delicious food and drink. All this is because Zhang Daoling's prestige is in Zhengyi, and even the prestige of the entire Yizhou is unparalleled, and Zhang Lu is Zhang Daoling's grandson who killed him by himself, which will definitely add a lot of trouble. If Zhang Lu is dead, then someone will inevitably suspect him, and when the time comes, the pressure from the rivers and lakes will inevitably crush him, after all, his foundation is not very strong.
Zhang Xiu came to the inner hall and saw that Zhang Lu was meditating in Tuna, Zhang Xiu saluted Zhang Lu respectfully, Zhang Lu slowly opened his eyes and saw Zhang Xiu, Zhang Lu said with a pleasant face, "What's the matter with Mi Shi?" ”
Zhang Xiu leaned into Zhang Lu's ear and whispered a sentence, after Zhang Lu listened, his eyes widened, and he asked in shock, "Is this serious?"
Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "The news I just got is absolutely true!" ”
"Hmph, the revenge of killing my father is not shared"
Zhang Lu was constantly flickering with blue-purple lightning on his body at this moment, Zhang Xiu's pupils contracted a few times, and the electric light on Zhang Lu's body was the secret of the Heavenly Master's Mansion Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Formula, Zhang Xiu secretly clenched his fists, Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Formula, I must get it!
