Wan Hong said with a happy face: "It's not that the lower officials are lax, but the crisis in the city has been solved, and the reason for it is so that the lord can know." Chen An was coaxed and delayed by his subordinates for many days, and he had already lost his patience, and an hour ago, he was ready to forcibly attack the city again, and his subordinates and General Yang were ready to resist. But thanks to the blessing of the lord, before the siege of the city, Chen An was suddenly assassinated, and now his troops have retreated from the city. ”

"What did you say, Chen An was assassinated?"

Gao Yue jumped off the horse, and a pair of tiger eyes glared at the boss. This strong reversal was really unexpected, and he was really at a loss.

"yes. I was in the city, and everyone saw clearly, Chen An was sitting on a horse and commanding, and then a person came, as if he was also dressed as a court army, as if there was something important to report, the two approached and said something, the man suddenly pulled out his blade and stabbed Chen An with a knife, and the city immediately became chaotic. Then, after a while, everyone was gone, and even I didn't come back to my senses for a while. ”

"This ...... And what about General Yang? ”

Wan Hong said that General Yang was cautious, fearing that it was the enemy's plan to lure the enemy, so he always stayed at the head of the city and was on guard. Gao Yue strode up to the city, Yang Jiantou was already busy greeting him, and between the questions and answers, there was really no difference from what Wan Hong said.

"General, if you don't see it with your own eyes, you really can't believe it, it's like watching a play." At the end, Yang Jian smacked his lips, still full of disbelief, paused to think of something, and spoke again.

"By the way, after Chen An's department evacuated, I was relieved, and specially sent capable scouts to follow and investigate, it is reported that after his troops ran dozens of miles away, there was a short stop to argue, because of the fear of exposing their whereabouts, the scouts did not dare to get too close, so I couldn't hear what was said, only that Chen An was not dead. But after that, they did not retreat to the upper side, but went straight to the east, not knowing what the hell they were doing. ”

"Really? This is strange, why didn't Chen An go back to Shangtai and go all the way east to do something? ”

Gao Yue was both surprised and happy, although he couldn't figure out the situation for a while, but no matter what, the current crisis had indeed been resolved, and he could be relieved.

Wan Hong and Yang Jiantou asked Gao Yue how the situation was on Xiangwu's side. After learning that he had defeated the 20,000 Shangqi Jin army and the Longxi army gathered in Xiangwu, Wan Hong's face became more and more relaxed, and he arched his hand and said: "My subordinates are glad to abandon the darkness as soon as possible, and I only hope that the lord can expel the faint king as soon as possible and control Qinzhou. ”

Although he is still obese, Sima Bao these days is indeed thinner than before. Because I didn't know the taste of food and couldn't sleep well, in less than ten days, the whole person was haggard.

The reason for not eating well is that the war is stalemate, and it is just a matter of waiting for good news to come, and the news that comes in the end is getting worse and worse, and the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to him, which makes him from full of confidence to full of frustration; can't sleep, it's not that he has insomnia, Sima Bao's biggest hobby is sleeping, almost next to bed.

However, for a period of time, in Shangtai City, there were always fires in the middle of the night, and once even burned down half of the street. When he was sleeping soundly, he was awakened by the sound of the fire fighting cry at every turn, and his heart seemed to be frightened to stop beating instantly, Sima Bao was so angry that even the attendants were killed by his own hands, but the cause of the fire has not been found so far. There are traces that it seems to be arson, but the suspect is also like a desert, and he can't be searched everywhere, but after a day or two, there is a fire again.

In the past few days, Sima Bao's mood has been bad day by day, and his poor spirit has affected his mood, so he has been angry with others at every turn, not like before, at least he pays attention to the calm bearing of a king. At today's court meeting, the ministers were silent, each with their own thoughts, anyway, it was not their business at the moment, and they heard Sima Bao being furious, and scolded the two people kneeling in the hall.

“…… Zhang Chun! You say, you are not a waste! How much the Lone King trusts you, and hands over all 30,000 troops to you, how many people are there in the Lone King! There was a crisp sound, and everyone in the hall instantly subconsciously tightened their eyelids, and they didn't look up to know that this was breaking a cup again.

Zhang Chun and Yang Ci were tied with their hands behind their backs, kneeling at the foot of the stairs with their heads, dejected. On that day, Xiangwu City was defeated, and Zhang Chun escaped, leaving only more than 3,000 people under his command. He didn't dare to return to Shangtai from Xinxing City, so he had no choice but to go north, pass by Luoyang County from Shouyang City in Longxi, and finally escape back by detouring the road.

At that time, although Pu Hong was polite and had some supplies, the faint hint of ridicule on his face made Zhang Chun ashamed and angry, but he didn't dare to attack on the spot, after all, this was on someone's territory. Holding back an evil fire, it was easy to turn back to Shangqi, and just after entering the city, there was an edict from the king of Nanyang to come, scolding Zhang Chunyang and the two of them, and tying them up in public, and escorting them directly to the main hall of the ministers Biji. Zhang Chun had always regarded himself as above everyone, and the current situation made him extremely ashamed and angry, and he couldn't even listen to Sima Bao's reprimand, so he hung his head and thought about his heart with hatred.

The cup smashed and fell right in front of him, and the crumbling debris splashed in all directions, and several blood marks were scratched on Zhang Chun's face, and a slightly larger fragment pierced straight into Zhang Chun's cheeks. Zhang Chun was caught off guard, both shocked and painful, and even more consciously suffered such an insult in public and lost face, which made his already mean and narrow-minded mind almost explode immediately, he pouted, inhaled cold air low, and gritted his back molars to endure himself.

Above, Sima Bao continued to roar: "...... 30,000 people! 30,000 people can't beat a Xiangwu City, but they were defeated and lost by other people's counterattacks, how can you still have the face to come back to see Lonely, why don't you just die! ”

Pei Xuan immediately took advantage of the situation and said: "Zhang Chun is incompetent, and he has lost his teacher and humiliated the country, which makes the king worry day and night. The ministers asked Zhang Chun to be beheaded immediately to thank the soldiers, so as to re-boost morale. ”

Seeing that the opportunity to overturn Zhang Chun was fleeting, Hu Song, who was accustomed to being a mud bodhisattva, finally couldn't help but stand up for the train, and seemed to echo it: "Pei Zhonglang's words are loyal, and the minister asks the king to admonish." ”

The eyes burned with anger were red, and the words of Pei Hu and the others added fuel to the fire. Sima Bao slapped the handrail and shouted, "Someone! Drag Zhang Chunyang down and behead him immediately! ”

Yang Ci immediately collapsed to the ground, Zhang Chun was full of vicious resentment, and was instantly shocked by this sentence. Frightened, frightened, and even wronged, he immediately begged and howled.

"King, King! I'm fighting desperately, just to come back and see the king again, my king, spare my life, for the sake of my many years with me, just spare me......"

All kinds of emotions are surging like a flood of water. Zhang Chun grabbed the ground with his head, howled loudly, and burst into tears. Seeing him like this, the few ministers who did not deal with him or secretly hated him on weekdays watched coldly, but they were very comfortable in their hearts. But he has always been friendly with Zhang Chun or attached to him, and he can't help but feel a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

Chun Yu was the leader, and many people began to advise, please open the king's net, after all, the victory or defeat of the soldiers is unpredictable, anyway, General Zhang also resisted desperately, and did not surrender to the enemy, and finally he was able to collect the remnants of the army to return, which can be regarded as a slight compensation.

Sima Bao was panting angrily, and he was stunned by the dissuasion, but he was gradually moved by the words. He thought of the war between heaven and man, looked at Zhang Chun, who was embarrassed and not humanoid, and remembered all kinds of past events when he was young, and when the first king was captured and killed by the Huns, in such a chaotic situation, Zhang Chun has always been by his side, and took the lead in openly supporting him to inherit the throne in time.

"That's it! The lonely king has a lifetime, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and does not force the lonely king to kill people without remembering the old love. Zhang Chun's death sin is forgiven, but the living sin is not forgiven. dragged Zhang Chun and Yang Ci out, severely punished the thirty military sticks, and Zhang Chun was immediately demoted from General Pingxi to General Pingxi, and Yang Ci was deposed to General Pei, and fined him for half a year! ”

In the end, Sima Bao almost shouted: "Drag it down, drag it down immediately, Gu doesn't want to see the faces of these two people for a moment now, get out!" ”

Yang Ciru was amnesty, his face was full of snot and tears, but he only kowtowed mechanically, and his mouth was incoherent and he didn't know what he was whispering. Immediately outside the hall, a team of wolf-like guards rushed in, and when they came up and dragged the two of them, they dragged them out. Zhang Chun's blood-red eyes were wide open, his bones were spinning non-stop, while struggling frantically, he suddenly broke out with resentment, and shouted loudly: "This defeat, the minister is guilty, but the minister is wronged, and the minister is not satisfied!" ”

When Sima Bao heard this, he couldn't help but wave his hand to stop the guard, and said fiercely: "You are not convinced? How dare you disagree! ”

"I heard that the king had already sent Chen An to lead the army to Xiangwu City, but until the minister was suddenly attacked by the Longxi army, he didn't see Chen An coming with a single soldier! The minister was flanked by the enemy on both sides and fought desperately, so where is Chen An? Why didn't he stop and die? Now that the army is defeated, is it the responsibility of the minister alone? Surrender or disobedience! ”

Zhang Chun was a little confused, and howled loudly regardless of it. However, these words made the main hall calm down. Sima Bao was stunned, looked at the blank faces below, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Lone is almost dizzy, yes, where is Chen An now?" ”
