Guo Chunhai walked through the streets and alleys, crossed several streets, and spent nearly an hour walking to the door of Zhang Cheng's mansion. looked left and right, and saw that no one stepped forward to knock on the door.

Answering the door was Boss Zhang, who was on duty, Boss Zhang saw that this person had fine skin and tender flesh, but his hair was a little gray, and he didn't know the reason, so he asked angrily: "Who are you?" ”

"The old slave is in charge of the eunuch, Guo Chunhai came to preach the edict by holy decree. The matter is urgent, and I hope that the little brother will report to the general as soon as possible. Guo Chunhai originally thought that the other party would politely let him in, but he didn't expect the other party to be contemptuous.

When Boss Zhang heard that the other party was actually a eunuch, and it seemed that the official position was not small, the boss was unhappy in his heart. The eunuch is still a big eunuch, and in his heart, eunuchs are not good things, especially big eunuchs, and they are not good things. But after all, the other party was sent by the emperor, and it was not easy for him to drive people away, and besides, they said that they were here to find the general, so they couldn't drive people away.

He said to the other party angrily: "You wait, wait until I go in and report, let you in, you come in again!" ”

"You! What a big shelf! Okay, okay, I won't argue with you. But before you report to the general, you should at least let me in!" Guo Chunhai was smoked by Zhang Lao's atmospheric seven orifices, but thinking that he was carrying the emperor's order, he couldn't make the slightest mistake, so he could only endure it and said angrily.

Boss Zhang snorted, let the person in the door, and said to the guard next to him: "Look at him, don't let him run around!" With that, he went to the inner court.

Knowing that the chief of the chamberlain had come to deliver the edict, it was now about to pass, and that he must have come to summon him for something important at this time, so he asked where the people were. Boss Zhang said: "The person is still at the door, I see that this person is a eunuch, and he is sneaky, I am afraid that he is not a good person." Just let him stay at the door. ”

"You! Hi! Let me say what you are good about. Defeated by you! Zhang Cheng was also so angry that he couldn't do it.

came out to greet Guo Chunhai, Guo Chunhai didn't bother too much, he pulled Zhang Cheng and said: "Don't be too complicated, I came here this time to pass on His Majesty's secret decree, you can just read it alone!" ”

Secret edict? These two words gave Zhang Cheng an extremely bad feeling.

Sure enough, when Guo Chunhai took out the secret edict, the decree said that he should lead the Yulin Army to replace the Qianniu Army and garrison the palace; All the soldiers and horses in the imperial city are under its dispatch; At the same time, all officials in Los Angeles should be controlled, and all officials should answer their calls, and they must not violate them, and those who violate the orders will be beheaded. Zhang Cheng understood after taking a closer look. The Thousand Bull Army is unreliable. At the same time, it also indicates that the sky will change in the imperial city.

He held the secret edict, but he was thinking in his heart, judging from the current military strength comparison, Zhao Hui has 20,000 Xiaoguo troops and 5,000 Qianniu troops, and at the same time, Zhao Hui also has personal guards, but he is afraid that the number of people will also have to step forward. In addition to the Yulin Army, he only has a personal guard battalion and a northland division under his hands, adding up to only 3,000 people. Now only all success or failure is on Li Jinyan alone. But fortunately, Father Li is now in his own hands, and Li Jinyan does not take him away, and he also has the intention of surrendering. It seems that it should be reliable. Now, he can only do his best to obey the fate of heaven.

Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng said to Guo Chunhai: "Father-in-law, Your Majesty asked me to send you three or five Yulin Army to pass on the Second Highness." You immediately follow me to the Yulin Barracks, and we'll go together!" ”

At the same time, Zhang Cheng said to Boss Zhang: "Hurry up and tell everyone to get up, each of them take their equipment, and be fully armed, I have something to say." ”

Seeing that Zhang Cheng suddenly became so solemn, Boss Zhang knew that he was serious, and made a military salute.

"Yes!"

Nearly 3,000 people immediately stabbed each other, one by one, wearing a black cuirass and a black coat with a solemn expression, their movements were neat and uniform, looking at Zhang Cheng in their eyes, and there was silence in the courtyard.

Seeing such a group of people, just standing there quietly, waiting for their general to give orders, at this moment, Guo Chunhai's worried heart gradually calmed down. With such a powerful army, it will be invincible and unfavorable, and great things can be expected.

Zhang Cheng was also like them, in black armor and black clothes, standing in front of them, and said loudly: "Brothers, tonight is an unusual night. It will surely go down in history, whether it will be remembered in history or left in the stench for thousands of years! It's up to everyone! I won't tell you so much about the big truth, I just ask you one sentence, do you want to be glorious and rich, or do you want your head to fall to the ground and your head is in a different place! ”

"Glory and wealth!" All the soldiers shouted in unison!

"Hmmm! Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, there has been no war for several years, and whether you still have the courage and strength to fight with the brute dog under Zhenxiong Pass depends on tonight! Zhang Cheng shouted.

"I'll follow the general to the death!" Qi Tian shouted first.

ZHANG Laoda. He pulled out the pig-killing knife at his waist, raised it above his head, and shouted: "Swear to follow the general!" ”

The brothers of the Northland Division first shouted together: "Swear to follow the general!" ”

Followed by the personal guard battalion, under the leadership of Feng Jingyu, he also roared: "Swear to follow the general!" ”

The Divine Arrow Battalion, under the leadership of Long Qiu Ling, also shouted: "Swear to follow the general!" ”

"Good! Let's go! Zhang Cheng took his brothers and headed towards the Yulin military camp.

Coming to the Yulin Army barracks, Shi Kaishan was also shocked by the three thousand sergeants behind Zhang Cheng, and he said to Zhang Cheng: "I didn't expect that there was such an elite under the general!" Compared to the Feather Forest Army, it was not allowed at all! Sure enough, there is no vanity under the fame! The last will be respected! ”

"Let's not talk about gossip for now, now it's urgent, you can take a look at this first! Then let's make a plan! Zhang Cheng took out the secret edict from his bosom and showed it to Shi Kaishan.

After Shi Kaishan read the secret edict, his mind was also heavy, and he respectfully returned the secret edict, and he said loudly: "I am willing to listen to the general's military orders, don't dare to disobey!" The general gives the order! ”

"Then I won't be polite to the general, I mean so, I will lead the soldiers in my hands, as well as the two thousand Yulin army, and immediately enter the palace to replace the thousand Niu army. The general led the rest of the soldiers to guard Suzaku Street! Blocking the way of the Xiaoguo Army, you must not let the Xiaoguo Army take a step beyond the thunder pool! I will hand over my brother's iron pillar to you, and he will surely be able to do your best if he has the courage of a thousand people. In addition, there is one thing, before I have time to tell the general, the commander of the Xiaoguo Army, Li Jinyan, has surrendered to me, and the general can capture Cheng Shide with him at that time. Zhang Cheng said.

Cheng Shide thought for a moment and asked: "Judging from His Majesty's will, the Thousand Niu Army must be unreliable and forcibly replace him, Ye Xun's little cub must jump over the wall in a hurry, five thousand people, the general, can you stop him?" ”

"Naturally, a frontal assault can't be done, I have my own way. The general should not hesitate, at this critical moment, General Wanwang should not hesitate too much, the situation is urgent, and it is too late to discuss it in detail. In addition, the general also needs to send another battalion of soldiers and horses to the palace of His Royal Highness to plan for everything! Zhang Cheng grabbed the reins of the horse and said to him.

"That being the case, the last general commands!" Shi Kaishan gave up his hand.

Zhang Cheng thought about it again and said to Shi Kaishan: "At this time, the Xiaoguo Army must not know that something big has happened in the palace, and there must be fewer patrols in the imperial city on the street; After a while, once he heard the order to clean the street on the street, the general directly led the soldiers and horses to garrison Suzaku Street, with the cavalry in front and the infantry behind. At this critical moment, I can't take too many details into account. All the consequences afterwards will be borne by me Zhang Cheng! ”

"Yes! The end will understand! Shi Kaishan frowned, nodded after a moment of thought, and said.

"Gonggong Guo, after you take His Royal Highness into the palace in a while, send someone to Jingzhao Mansion to say, the Beidi Division, the Guards Battalion belongs, and the Yulin Army belongs, follow me!" Zhang Cheng said a word to Guo Chunhai first, and then shouted at the soldiers and horses behind him, and beat the horses to take the lead out of the camp.

Guo Chunhai took a group of Yulin Army guards and also set off towards the Dadu Governor's Mansion

Zhang Cheng led 5,000 men and horses to the front of the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, and knocked on the door.

Jingzhao Yin Yashou was sleeping at this time, and suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside, rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes, opened the door of the house, and at first glance saw that the door was brightly lit, and thousands of soldiers and horses were gathered, and the door was closed in a panic.

Seeing this, Qi Tian was stunned, and then he understood, and shouted: "Zhang Cheng, the general of the Yulin Army, has come here by holy order, and has an urgent business to ask to see Lord Jingzhao Yin Fang!" ”

When the official inside the door heard that he was a general, he opened the door of the mansion again, walked out tremblingly, and fell to his knees in front of Zhang Cheng.

"I don't know if it's the general who has arrived, damn the little one! Little damn it! The official kept kowtowing and said.

"Get up quickly, quickly lead me to meet Lord Fang!" Zhang Cheng dismounted, stretched out a hand, helped him up, and said to him.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The official was speechless and said tremblingly.

Thousands of strong soldiers gathered outside the palace, this news has already reached Fang Qian's ears, many things have happened in the capital recently, and many affairs are complicated, which makes Fang Qian, who was already in his forties, tired, but the capital is in an eventful season, originally at this time, he should also sleep, but he can't sleep anyway. His Majesty will hold an enthronement ceremony tomorrow, which has also been prepared for a long time. But today in the Taiji Palace, from a distance he saw the old master he had followed for decades, now he is old and weak to the extreme, I am afraid that he is already terminally ill, time is short, at this time, the two princes are fighting openly and secretly, the capital will have great changes, turning over and over, he is also tossing and turning. I was getting up and standing in the courtyard, thinking about a lot of things.

At this time, the official outside hurriedly ran in, and he almost fell at the door, which made Fang Qian's heart chuckle, and a bad premonition arose.

"No, no, no, no, no, my lord, outside, there are thousands of soldiers and horses surrounding the Jingzhao Mansion!" The official was so anxious that he couldn't even speak clearly, and he couldn't breathe.

"Ahh Let's go, let's see! When Fang Qian heard this, his mind raced, so he decided to go and see it first.

At this time, Zhang Cheng, under the leadership of the officer, had already arrived in the inner hall, and when the two met, Zhang Cheng didn't say a word of greeting, and directly took out the secret edict, and the other party said humbly: "My lord, take a look at this first." ”

Fang Qian took the secret edict, recognized it at a glance, glanced at Zhang Cheng, and then concentrated on looking at the holy decree, after reading it, Fang Qian's face changed greatly. returned the secret edict to Zhang Cheng, knelt on one knee, and said, "Jingzhao Yin Fangqian, I am willing to listen to the general's dispatch!" ”

Helping Fang Qian up, Zhang Cheng said: "My lord, it's inconvenient for Zhang Cheng to gossip, a Yulin Army guard will come over to tell you whether the Second Highness has entered the palace, once the Second Highness enters the palace, you will immediately lead all the officials of the government and the cavalry under my command, and issue a street cleaning order to the whole city!" Officials and the common people who do not obey will be detained! Whoever it is! ”

"Yes! The subordinate obeys the order! Fang Qian took the order.
