Choke! Xu Liang sneered at the corner of his mouth, and he didn't talk nonsense, and a long sword with cold light was put on the neck of Commander Ma!

"You...... What are you doing? Commander Ma shuddered from the cold light on the sword's body and exclaimed. The officials and guards who came with Commander Ma were shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly drew their weapons and aimed them at Xu Liang.

And Tietou and other Tsing Yi guards also drew their weapons and surrounded those officials. The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Xu Liang, you, what are you going to do?" Commander Ma looked at Xu Liang in shock, he really didn't expect that the governor of a dignified province would actually draw his sword without warning.

Xu Liang looked at Commander Ma sarcastically, and with a flick of his wrist, the sword tightened a little, and a thin blood groove was quickly cut on Commander Ma's neck.

Commander Ma was even more frightened, and his upper and lower teeth stumbled: "You, don't mess around!" Everything is negotiable......"

"Oh...... Now that you know you're scared? Xu Liang smiled mockingly, "By the way, I would like to remind you that the Shang Fang sword in the official's hand was given to the official by His Majesty when the official left Beijing." With Shang Fang's sword in hand, it is like the emperor is here! Commander Ma, you said that if you die under this Shang Fang sword, will anyone cry out for you? ”

"Shang Fang Sword?!" Commander Ma trembled, he really didn't see that Xu Liang had a Shang Fang sword in his hand! However, the various privileges of Shang Fang's sword, Commander Ma has heard of it somewhat. For example, cut first and then play!

Xu Liang asked, "Master Ma, do you want to try the sharpness of this sword?" ”

"Don't ......" Commander Ma felt that Xu Liang's hand holding the sword tightened a little more, and he almost cried in fright. He has been respectful for so many years, and he has long been afraid of death.

Xu Liang nodded. Then he looked at the officials who threw rat traps behind Commander Ma, and shouted coldly: "Tell your people to put down their weapons!" ”

Commander Ma immediately obediently complied. Cautiously, he turned his head and shouted to the subordinates behind him, "Put the knife down!" You idiots, do you want to kill your own officials?! ”

The people brought by the horse commander looked at each other. Shaking his head helplessly, he threw the weapon in his hand to the ground with a clang. The iron head smiled and shouted, "Tie up!" ”

Tsing Yi Wei rushed up and detained all the people brought by the horse commander.

Commander Ma cried with a sad face, and smiled at Xu Liang: "Lord Xu, oh no, Lord Governor, you can take this Shang Fang sword away now, right?" ”

Xu Liang said coldly: "Open the city gate!" ”

Commander Ma shuddered again, and then shouted at the sergeant at the city gate: "Open the city gate!" Open the gates! ”

The heavy east gate of Chang'an City slowly opened. Wan Wenshan, who had been waiting to enter the city for a long time, waved his hand and entered the city with more than 20,000 new soldiers outside the city.

"Your Excellency!" Wan Wenshan came to Xu Liang and arched his hand.

"Take over the four gates of the Great Wall immediately! The officers and soldiers of the original command and envoy divisions were all disarmed and supervised in batches! Those who dare to resist will be killed! Xu Liang shouted murderously.

"Yes!" Wan Wenshan arched his hand and slapped his horse away.

Commander Ma's face suddenly turned pale, and he glared at Xu Liang and shouted, "Lord Xu...... If you do this, Governor Yang will not spare you! ”

Xu Liang pouted. He ordered all the officials who commanded the envoy to be escorted back to the governor's yamen.

Two hours later, the city defense of Chang'an had been handed over to the Liang army, and the officers and soldiers of the original commander were disarmed and taken to the temporary military camp outside the city.

Just when those officers and soldiers were panicking. The Qingyang guerrilla general He Renlong, the Hanzhong garrison He Huchen, and the Pingliang guerrilla general Luo Rucai arrived with people. After sending troops to surround the entire barracks, they began to divide the troops in the barracks. Several officials of thousands of households saw that the situation was wrong. shouted to see the commander, and was escorted out alone. He never came back. After several generals had selected all the soldiers, they escorted the soldiers back to their respective stations overnight. And there was not a single ordinary soldier left in the temporary barracks, all of them were generals above the flag commander. Then these generals were taken to the dungeon of the governor's yamen, where they were accompanied by the commander of the horse.

In one day, the sky changed in Chang'an City! Qian Yongtai, the political envoy, finally couldn't sit still, and while reporting to Yang He, the governor of the three sides, he rushed to the governor's yamen and asked to see Xu Liang.

After sitting in the hall of the governor's yamen and drinking tea for half an hour, the envoy Qian Bu not only did not see Xu Liang's face, but was finally told that the governor would have a meeting at noon tomorrow.

This time, the governor's yamen held a meeting, and the people who arrived at the meeting came quite early, and they arrived quite completely. It's just that the face is not very good-looking.

After Xu Liang sat down with a smile, Qian Yongtai, the political envoy who had been holding back his anger for a long time, stared at Xu Liang and asked: "Lord Governor, this official heard that the guerrilla general Wan Wenshan took over the defense of Chang'an City the day before yesterday, and all of them were imprisoned in the prison of the governor's yamen under the command of Si Zima!" I would like to ask the Governor, but is there such a thing? ”

Xu Liang squinted his eyes at Qian Yongtai, nodded and said, "Lord Qian is right, there is indeed such a thing!" ”

Qian Yongtai slapped the shore and glared at Xu Liang angrily: "Chang'an has such a major matter as changing the guard, how can you have the final say!" Neither Governor Yang nor this official knows! And Commander Ma is a member of the three grades, how can he be imprisoned unless he gets the holy decree! Xu Liang, this official will definitely participate in your book fiercely! ”

Xu Liang smiled and said, "Lord Qian is very angry!" Come, sit down, there is a reason why this official is doing this. ”

"Humph!" Qian Yongtai snorted angrily, didn't sit down, and glared at Xu Liang.

Xu Liang didn't care, and explained lightly: "This official is the governor of Shaanxi, and the official has the right to call the shots for such a small matter as Chang'an's change of defense." As for the detention of the horse commander and others you said, it was really a wrongful act, because the horse commanded them to collide with the Holy Cross, and the official had no choice but to do it. ”

Qian Yongtai's nose was crooked, and he pointed at Xu Liang and shouted: "Nonsense! The emperor is far away in Beijing, and the horse commander is in Chang'an City, how can he collide with the holy driver! ”

Xu Liang took Shang Fang's sword from Luo Baiguan's hand, raised his hands, glanced at the officials, and shouted in a deep voice: "The holy driver is here!" This is the emperor's imperial gift of the sword, and those who see the sword are like His Majesty coming in person! ”

Seeing this, the officials in the hall hurriedly got up and knelt down to salute, and shouted loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live." Hooray! ”

Seeing this, Qian Yongtai ran around with evil fire in his belly. But he didn't dare to disrespect the holy car in front of him, so he had to kneel down. Shout hooray.

Xu Liang stood, accepted the salute of the officials, nodded with satisfaction, handed the Shang Fang sword to Luo Baiguan, and raised his hand to the officials: "Your Excellency, please get up." ”

After the officials got up in shock and anger, Xu Liang spread his hands and said to Qian Yongtai: "Commander Ma and the others have collided with the Holy Driver, and they are no longer suitable for the position of commander of the capital, so the official has decided to escort them back to Beijing." Wait for the emperor to send and fall! Well, before the new commander arrives, Deng will take over the affairs of the commander of the envoy. ”

Deng Shuiqing looked at Xu Liang in astonishment, and when he saw Xu Liang's serious expression, he had to go down.

Qian Yongtai was stunned and said hurriedly: "No!" This matter should be made clear to the trilateral governor Lord Yang, listen to Governor Yang's speech! ”

Xu Liang cut off his words and said, "Governor Yang, this official will naturally go and say it!" Don't work hard to pay adults! ”

Qian Yongtai's eyes almost breathed fire. I can't wait to eat Xu Liang raw. He took a few deep breaths, and secretly said that he had to hold back, and it would not be too late to clean up Xu Liang when Yang He, the governor of the three sides, arrived.

Xu Liang directly ignored Qian Yongtai's gaze and smiled at him. said: "By the way, Lord Qian, this official still has to recruit another 50,000 recruits!" Well, in terms of ordnance. I asked Lord Deng to take out all the weapons in the treasury of the commander, about the grain and grass. I want to ask for a lot of money! ”

Qian Yongtai was stunned again, and said with a calm face: "Back to the words of the governor." Shaanxi has been dry for many years, and crops have failed. In the treasury of the political envoy, there were less than 3,000 quintals of grain. In addition, the amount of military salaries required for conscription was relatively large, and Shaanxi no longer had any money deposited to pay military salaries. In his own opinion, conscription is absolutely impossible! ”

Xu Liang retracted his gaze and said, "The matter of ordnance is in charge of Lord Deng, and the matter of military pay is up to the governor to figure it out." Lord Qian, all you need to do is gather 10,000 loads of food! ”

Qian Yongtai replied bluntly: "Forgive this official for being powerless!" ”

Xu Liang glanced at Qian Yongtai deeply and said, "Then take out the three thousand loads of grain in the warehouse first!" ”

Qian Yongtai glared and shouted: "My lord has taken out all the grain in the warehouse, what do the yamen at all levels in Chang'an City eat for the New Year?!" ”

Xu Liang didn't look at Qian Yongtai, and said indifferently: "You are the political envoy of Shaanxi, how to deal with it, that's your business!" ”

“……”

Qian Yongtai's nose is crooked!

After the meeting ended, Qian Yongtai threw his sleeves and left. According to the inspector Deng Shuiqing and the servant He Zhun pulled Xu Liang, Deng according to the inspector and said in embarrassment: "Lord Governor, you let the subordinate take charge of the affairs of the envoy, and the subordinate himself has no opinion at all!" However, you also know that the commander of the envoy has always been Ma Jingyi's territory, and the commander of the horse will eventually come back. ”

Xu Liang saw Deng Zhao's embarrassed expression, so he patted Deng Zhao's shoulder and encouraged him: "Lord Deng, don't worry, Commander Ma will never come back." ”

Deng was stunned and looked at Xu Liang inexplicably.

Xu Liang didn't explain either, and sent Deng out according to the envoy.

Three days later, snowflakes had begun to fall in Chang'an City, and the weather was cold and the wind was biting. Commander Ma, who was escorted by an army of 200 people, and the others set off for the Beijing division in such bad weather.

Qian Yongtai rushed to stop the team from traveling, but the escorting generals ignored him. He had no choice but to run to Xu Liang to intercede.

"Lord Governor, the matter of Commander Ma, you see that the weather is so bad, do you want to wait a little longer?" In the governor's yamen, the charcoal fire in Xu Liang's study was burning, and the room was as warm as spring.

Qian Yongtai saw that Xu Liang was holding a book in his hand, just looking at the book, ignoring his suggestions, he couldn't help but be so angry that his face turned pale, and he threw his sleeves out angrily.

Back at the Yamen of the Political Envoy Division, Qian Yongtai stomped his feet in the house anxiously! Qian Yongtai was the person of Yang He, the governor of the three sides, and Commander Ma was also Yang He's person. Qian Yongtai saw clearly that it was Xu Liang's reason for borrowing Shang Fang's sword, that is, to seize control of Chang'an City.

Yang He, the trilateral governor who can suppress Xu Liang, can't rush to Chang'an City immediately, and if Xu Liang's people are allowed to escort Ma Commander and others back to the capital, then even if Yang He, the trilateral governor, finally arrives in Chang'an City, it will be useless.

Qian Yongtai walked around the house a few times, his fierce color flashed, and he commanded in a deep voice: "Call Qian Ning, the official has something to do with him." ”

Qian Ning is Qian Yongtai's younger brother, he is not good at studying but has learned a good martial arts, and he has always worked under his brother Qian Yongtai. Qian Ning stayed in Qian Yongtai's house for a while, and then left in a hurry.

On the official road dozens of miles outside Chang'an, snow covered the road. The wind was biting, the snow was falling, the roads were difficult, and a team of more than 200 people walked with difficulty.

That was the team that escorted Commander Ma and others into Beijing. The soldiers were escorted one by one, and the commander of the horse and a dozen subordinate officials were connected by a hemp rope like a string of grasshoppers, and under the shouts of the soldiers, they walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The snow had already soaked the soles and uppers of the shoes, and their feet were almost unconscious.

"My lord, are they really going to escort us to the capital?" The deputy commander asked in a whisper to the horse commander.

Although Commander Ma scolded Xu Liang thousands of times in his heart, he still couldn't help but scold again: "I can't tell! This Xu Liang is simply a madman! I thought about it later, the ultimate goal of him making such a big battle was to seize the military power of Chang'an City! ”

"So what do we do?" The deputy commander said anxiously.

Commander Ma looked at the white expanse in front of him, and couldn't see the main road of the official road clearly, and Deputy Commander Kuan said: "Don't worry, Lord Qian has already reported to Governor Yang." Let's go slowly, as long as we make it until Governor Yang arrives, we can go back!" ”

The deputy commander nodded, he looked at the soldiers escorting in front and behind, lowered his voice, and commanded towards the horse: "My lord, have you noticed?" The soldiers in charge of the escort are definitely not the recruits recruited by the 10,000 guerrillas! Rather, well-trained veterans! You can see the posture and movement of their walking and stepping, they look very neat! And in such a big wind and snow, these soldiers did not complain! ”

As the deputy commander spoke, his heart suddenly trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "This is an army with extremely strict military discipline!" ”

Commander Ma laughed self-deprecatingly: "Xu Liang is also willing to send such an elite army." He's so worried that we're running halfway? ”

The deputy commander looked at Commander Ma, his face slowly changed, and he said in horror: "My lord, I don't think Xu Liang wants to prevent us from escaping...... It's convenient to kill people and kill people! ”

Commander Ma was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked back at the road, and saw that the snow behind him was full of snowflakes, and he couldn't see the way for a long time, and on such a snowy day, there were no other pedestrians on the official road! Looking further, he saw that the leading soldier had deviated from the official road and turned to the fork in the road.

Commander Ma's face also changed, and he struggled and shouted, "This is not the way to the capital!" They're going to kill it! ”

The deputy commander also shouted: "Brothers, fight with them!" ”

"Fight!" Seeing this, the other subordinate officers who commanded the envoy department immediately shouted after the death of the commander, and the two subordinate officers spotted the soldiers next to them and ran into them.

Seeing this, the general who led the team at the front of the team smiled coldly, raised his knife in his hand, pointed at the horse commander and others, and shouted in a deep voice: "Kill!" (To be continued.) )
