When Yang Guang went to Jiangdu, Yuwen Chengdu happened to be ill and did not go with him, so Yang Guang named Yuwen Chengdu as the general of the Left Guard, and ordered him to stay in Luoyang to protect the king of Yue.

After Yu Wenhua and launched a mutiny in Jiangdu, Yang Tong, the king of Yue, was supported by the hundred officials left behind in Luoyang to ascend the throne, called Emperor Tai, Emperor Tai was a meritorious hero, and Yuwen Chengdu was crowned as Xu Guogong, General Zuotunwei, Xu Guocheng was the title of Yuwen Shu that year, and was re-awarded to Yuwen Chengdu by Emperor Tai.

However, after Wang Shichong borrowed a knife to kill people and designed to kill Wei Jin, the secretary of the military department, everyone in the Luoyang court was in danger, and due to the situation, several neutral generals, including Yuwen Chengdu, the general of the left Tunwei, and Zhang Zhenzhou, the general of the right Xiaowei, also had to submit to Wang Shichong in order to protect themselves, and supported him as King Zheng.

Yuwen Chengdu in this battle with the Tang Army, followed his beloved war horse Demon Lin Beast for many years unfortunately died by an arrow, Yuwen Chengdu was sad and distressed, sad that the war horse followed him for many years, just like his own brother, the horse was hit by an arrow in the head, so that Yuwen Chengdu was heartbroken, he held his horse in the tent and stayed up all night, watching the horse die in his arms.

And the distress is that Yuwen Chengdu is majestic, weighing nearly two hundred catties, plus his two hundred and forty catties of phoenix wings gilt boring, except for the demonic beast, no war horse can carry him, unless he can no longer use weapons, without weapons, there is no doubt that the eagle has no wings, Yuwen Chengdu can not accept such a result.

Just when he was very distressed, Zhang Xuan sent someone to send a superb Dawan horse treasured by Yang Guang, the son of heaven, which made Yuwen Chengdu overjoyed, this Dawan horse is as black as coal, eight feet tall, one foot and two feet long, four hooves are as thick as a tree trunk, and can carry thousands of catties to gallop.

What makes Yuwen Chengdu even more satisfied is that this Dawan horse is the same as his Demon Beast, with an extremely long mane, very much like a Western Demon Horse, the war horse was originally called Black Moon, and Yuwen Chengdu did not hesitate to change its name to the Demon Lin Beast to commemorate his deceased war horse.

But Yuwen Chengdu didn't know that his acquisition of this war horse had caused Wang Shichong's strong dissatisfaction with him.

In the afternoon, Yuwen Chengdu had just come back from walking his horse outside, but he saw the general Zhang Zhenzhou standing outside his big tent, talking to his own soldiers, Yuwen Chengdu laughed, "When did Brother Zhang come to Xiangguo County?" ”

Yuwen Chengdu is extremely arrogant, and there are few people who are worthy of him, and Zhang Zhenzhou is one of them.

Zhang Zhen is about forty years old, and he is also the former general of the Sui Army, in the early years of the great cause, he and Zhu Kuan went to sea to expedition to the Ryukyu Kingdom, and found Gaohuayu on the way back, that is, the ****** of later generations, after Emperor Tai ascended the throne, Zhang Zhenzhou was named the general of the right Xiaowei, and Yuwen Chengdu, forced by Wang Shichong's obscenity, had to support him as King Zheng.

This time Wang Shichong attacked the Wagang army, Zhang Zhenzhou and Qiu Huaiyi led the army to garrison Chenliu County, intercepted the Wagang army to flee north, and after the Tang army went east, Zhang Zhenzhou was transferred back to Luoyang to be responsible for the governor's grain and grass.

Zhang Zhenzhou arched his hand and smiled: "I escorted a batch of grain and grass to Xiangguo County, I heard that the virtuous brother got a BMW, so I came to take a look!" ”

Yuwen Chengdu turned over and dismounted, and threw the reins of the horse to the soldiers, "That's it, Brother Zhang might as well take a look!" ”

Zhang Zhenzhou looked at it carefully for a moment, and couldn't help but be a little strange, "Isn't this the Demon Lin Beast of the virtuous brother?" ”

"It's really similar, but it's still different, its head is slightly smaller than that of the Demonimon, its mane is not long enough, and its weight-bearing capacity is stronger than that of the Demonimon."

"It seems that only I know my favorite horse, and it is difficult for us outsiders to distinguish between them, but I have seen this war horse before."

Yuwen Chengdu gently stroked his beloved horse, "It is the Black Moon that ranks fourth among the twelve horses of the first emperor, and the other one is no less than its Black King Kong, I heard that it was obtained by Luo Shixin." ”

Zhang Zhenzhou nodded, "I have something else to find a virtuous brother." ”

Yuwen Chengdu waved his hand, "Please sit in the tent!" ”

The two walked into the big tent and sat down, Yuwen Chengdu let the soldiers serve tea again, he saw that Zhang Zhenzhou looked a little worried, so he asked in a low voice, "What happened?" ”

"Actually, it's not a big deal, I went south to the palace to meet the Holy Lord this time, and told him about the process of the Three Kingdoms War."

"What does the Holy One say?"

"The saint is very happy, he said that the north and the south of Sui are brothers, he is very pleased that the brothers work together to resist foreign insults, although the brothers are separated, but there is also a day of reintegration, he is very much looking forward to this day as soon as possible."

Yuwen Chengdu smiled bitterly and shook his head, the Northern Sui is clearly Zhang Xuan's dynasty, what does it have to do with the Great Sui, the saint is still too simple.

Zhang Zhenzhou understood the meaning of Yuwen Chengdu's wry smile, and he also sighed and said: "After all, the saint is young and can't understand the complexity of people's hearts, in fact, the biggest threat to him is not Bei Sui, but by his side. ”

Of course, Yuwen Chengdu understood who Zhang Zhenzhou was referring to, but this topic was more sensitive, he was silent for a while, and at this time, Zhang Zhenzhou said again: "The Holy Lord also gave me one thing, let me try to do it!" ”

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Zhenzhou took a sip of tea, stared at the teacup in his hand and asked, "Why do you think Wang Shichong must accept Zhu Yi's surrender?" ”

"Is the thing that the Holy Lord handed over to you about Zhu Ji?"

Zhang Zhenzhou nodded, "The Holy Lord hates Zhu Ji's cruelty very much, saying that he will never accept the cannibal demon king as a minister, and he hopes that I will persuade Wang Shichong to kill this person and not let the society be defiled." ”

"Then why didn't the saint directly issue an order and order Wang Shichong to kill Zhu Ji?"

Zhang Zhenzhou sneered, "Do you think the will of the Holy Lord can come out of the palace?" ”

Yuwen Chengdu was silent, Wang Shichong appointed his son Wang Xuanying as the internal history squire, mastering the seal of the Son of Heaven, all the edicts or holy decrees of the Son of Heaven must be stamped by Wang Xuanying before they can be issued, in fact, everyone knows very well that most of the edicts of the Son of Heaven have been tampered with by Wang Shichong.

Yuwen Chengdu sighed, "I guess it's difficult, Wang Shichong wants to use Zhu Ji to control Jing Xiang, at this time he will never kill Zhu Ji, but will reuse him." ”

"But killing Zhu Ji, wouldn't it win the hearts of Jingxiang's people even more?"

Yuwen Chengdu still shook his head, "Don't you know Wang Shichong yet?" Back then, he connived at the Huainan army to burn and plunder, and in the south of the Yangtze River he slaughtered tens of thousands of surrendered people, when did he care about the people's hearts, what he wanted was majesty, Jingxiang was very afraid of Zhu Ji, Zhu Ji arrived, all counties and counties all looked forward to the wind, who dared to have the slightest resistance, Wang Shichong took a fancy to this. ”

"But don't you feel ashamed that you and I are in the company of such people?"

Yuwen Chengdu was silent, and after a moment asked, "What does Brother Zhang want me to do?" ”

Zhang Zhenzhou took out a joint letter asking for the killing of Zhu Ji, "This is a joint letter initiated by me, and it has been signed by more than a dozen ministers, asking Wang Shichong to kill the demon king Zhu Ji, and the virtuous brother should also sign it!" ”

Yuwen Chengdu looked at it, there were internal history Ling Yuan Wendu, the military department Shangshu Huangfu Wuyi, the left and right guards guarding the palace, the generals Fei Yao and Tian Yan, the governor of Henan Shi Yaojunsu and more than a dozen people, Yuwen Chengdu secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, isn't this the list against Wang Shichong? However, Wang Shichong knows these lists very well in his heart, and it doesn't matter if he hands them over.

Yuwen Chengdu groaned, and signed his name on it, Yuwen Chengdu, the general of Zuotunwei.

Zhang Zhen Zhou was overjoyed, "I will go to Nanyang County to see Wang Shichong, whether he is happy or unhappy, he must be forced to kill Zhu Ji, we and Zhu Ji cannot be a minister, and we must not let this person tarnish the reputation of the court." ”

Wang Shichong is currently inspecting Nanyang County, since the Tang army retreated westward, Wang Shichong quickly expanded southward, according to his agreement with Zhang Xuan, occupied Xiyang, Nanyang, Xiangyang, Huaiyang, Huai'an, Xiangguo and other six counties, plus his own control of Hongnong County, Henan Province and Xingyang County, Wang Shichong controlled the entire western part of the Central Plains and the northern part of Jingzhou.

In the morning, Wang Shichong was surrounded by dozens of generals, inspected the autumn harvest in Xinye County, Xinye planted rice like Xiangyang, it was the harvest season at this time, the rice waves were rolling, at a glance it was an endless golden yellow, and countless farmers were busy in the world.

Wang Shichong was extremely excited, pointed at the rice field with a horsewhip and smiled at the generals: "Look at my country? ”

The generals were stunned, Zhu Wei was extremely clever, and immediately sneered: "Your Majesty's rivers and mountains are picturesque, and the people of the world have Your Majesty as the monarch's father, and the common people are also lucky!" ”

This sycophant made Wang Shi full of joy, and said with a slight smile: "The lonely king is just a joke, don't take it seriously!" ”

At this time, a soldier stepped forward to report: "Lord Qiqi, Luoyang grain and grass have arrived!" ”

"The food is just in time, let's take a look!"

Wang Shichong urged the horse to go to the barracks, and listened to him laughing proudly all the way, everyone was secretly frightened, and King Zheng's ambition could not be resisted. (To be continued.) )
