On the night of 15 February, in the yamen of the Luoyang Military Station, Zhang Xing sat alone behind his handsome case, and under the dim candlelight, he held in his hand an urgent military intelligence report that had just been transmitted from the outer city.

The military information transmitted to the Wu'an Institute, Zhang Xing will also have a copy in his hand. When he learned that there was chaos in the outer city, he didn't make any moves immediately, and he didn't go to Wu'ansu or Dongwangfu, but just sat in place and looked at it in a daze for a long time.

Zhang Xing knew very well in his heart that as the supreme commander of Luoyang's defense, he should not react like this at such a time, but after hearing Guo Shaoyue's words, some of his previous thoughts were also a little shaken. At this time, he would rather sit for a while and figure things out.

At this time, a person hurriedly entered the hall, and when he put down his hat and saw that Zhang Xing was still sitting peacefully, he stepped forward in a little hurry, and said impatiently: "Why is the general still here?" ”

"Not here, where?" Zhang Xing looked at the person who came and said coldly, "Shaoyue, you can see for yourself." ”

Saying that, Zhang Xing handed over the military intelligence report in his hand to the person in front of him, that is, Guo Shaoyue, who had said a lot of bitter things to him before, but he didn't even read it, and directly put down the report, and said: "General, it's time to make a contribution." ”

Zhang Xing smiled bitterly and said: "The matter is really related to you, originally I also thought it was strange, Linshui Defense, Lan Xie Ning is in charge, you and Lan Xie Ning are in charge, you and Lan Xie Ning are going to make trouble, you can't not know, but you didn't expect that you are so bold and dare to make trouble in Luoyang City." ”

Guo Shaoyue puffed out his chest and said, "If the general wants to kill me, just order the sword and axe hand to come in." Or the general was weak and didn't dare to do anything to the king of the east, so he ...... is willing to be this shrunken turtle, waiting here to be punished by the king of the east? ”

Zhang Xing fell silent for a while.

After receiving the battle report, I guessed that it might be done by Shaoyue and Lan Xening. was originally decisive, but he was also in a dilemma. If troops were sent to suppress it, the situation would quickly calm down, but as a result, he would also be implicated. Just as Guo Shaoyue said, Lin Zhan's position in the Eastern Palace's Mansion is more stable, and no one can shake his position. And his future future will be unpredictable.

But if he just leaves it alone, he won't end well either. Maybe he will become an accomplice afterwards, after all, there are only a few people under Lan Xening, what kind of climate can he become? Even if he doesn't do it, the people and horses of the Lanshenin rebellion will be suppressed.

The more Shaoyue saw Zhang Xing's silence, he knew that there was an opportunity. If it was changed to the previous Zhang Xing, the words he said before had already made other people's heads fall to the ground, and the reason why Zhang Xing did not have a seizure was because Zhang Xing agreed with what he said. And the heart of the East Wangfu is no longer a heart.

"General, don't move now, but when? After a while, the news reached the ears of the East King, how could the general have a foothold again? Guo Shaoyue began to talk bitterly again.

Zhang Xing raised his head slightly, looked at Guo Shaoyue and said, "Move?" How to move? Are you asking me to help the abuse, and send troops to rebel against the court? ”

Guo Shaoyue smiled and said: "The general doesn't know, this has become a big thing since ancient times." They are all people who dare to act, and now the defense of Luoyang is completely placed on the general alone. What will the general do, and who will be able to stop him? Since the king of the east is unkind to the general, why should the general give people righteousness? I have some people here, all of whom are willing to help the general achieve great things, and they will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire! ”

As he spoke, Guo Shaoyue took out a piece of paper from his arms. When I opened it, there were several names in it.

Zhang Xing looked at it and was shocked, there were any people among them who had disappeared before and were sent out by Han Jian. or close to each other, or belonging to the same army. This also shows that the Dongwang Mansion has long sensed that there may be changes in the army, and has already made some reactions in advance.

"...... you," Zhang Xing looked at Shaoyue and asked, "General Ben asked you, what is the relationship between the people who disappeared in the army for no reason before and you?" ”

Guo Shaoyue sighed: "Why is the general still so obsessed? Do you want to protect a mere future life? Dongwang Xiao'er, but he is just a mere erection, Wen can't do martial arts, but he can be in charge of the foundation of Dongwangfu, if it weren't for the general to assist, he would have such ability? ”

Zhang Xing smiled bitterly, what Shaoyue said was completely different from what he said in the afternoon.

Before, Guo Shaoyue was trying his best to provoke, while saying that Dongwang had the ability, and then helped Lin Xiaoshu's brother, that is, Lin Zhan, to take the throne. Now he said that the king of the east had no ability, and at the same time it was inconsistent, it also made him realize that he might be in the way of Shaoyue.

Zhang Xing felt that he had no way out, even if he killed Guo Shaoyue, it would be useless.

"These people, do you dare to guarantee that there are no two hearts?" Zhang Xing didn't drag the mud and water, and directly asked about the situation.

"No problem!"

Guo Shaoyue said, and said, "Now as long as the general gives an order, these people can only be sent by the general, and by tomorrow, the general will be the lord of Luoyang." ”

Zhang Xing's face was very embarrassed, in just one day, he was going to change from a loyal minister of the Eastern Prince's Mansion to a traitor, even if he himself could not accept this change.

But now the arrow has to be sent, if he hesitates for half a step and lets the Dongwangfu side react first, then his fate will be in danger.

"Okay, Ben will give you the warrant to transfer troops and horses into the inner city!"

Zhang Xing said, taking out the order from his arms, this is the customs clearance charm of the inner city of Luoyang, as long as he has it in his hand, the soldiers and horses outside can enter the inner city of Luoyang unhindered, that is to say, the little riot in the outer city is about to spread to the inner city.

"General, I will never disappoint the general!" As he spoke, he left with the amulet.

As soon as Shaoyue left, Zhang Xing felt that his heart was up and down, it was just a small riot in the city before, he only needed to set things right to resolve it, and with his friendship with Dongwangfu, he would never be wiped out. But now he is putting himself in danger, and the result of his defeat will not only be death, but also ruin his reputation.

For a general, a statement is sometimes more important than a life.

Zhang Xing still felt a little too arbitrary, and leaving everything to Guo Shaoyue to do was tantamount to handing over the initiative to others. He still didn't have much doubt about Guo Shaoyue, after all, he was a fellow villager and a relative, and he could be said to be a comrade in the barracks.

"Someone. Gather the generals here to take the matter! Zhang Xing shouted.

Zhang Xing felt that it was time for him to make a move, and he couldn't let Guo Shaoyue take risks outside, and the situation in Luoyang might have a conclusion before dawn, but at this time, he needed to be calm and composed, and the possibility of success was the highest.

Zhang Xing thought yes. Now all the generals of Luoyang's defense are under his command, as long as he controls these people, there is nothing the king of the east can do.

But when he drank this and didn't respond for a long time, it was a little surprising to himself.

Zhang Xing came to the door, but saw that the courtyard of the entire military station yamen was deserted, and there was no one. He felt a sense of desolation himself, as if he was alone and had no one around to help him.

"General......" A herald came in a hurry, and was in front of Zhang Xing to say something. Suddenly, several men came up from behind the man and cut the herald to the ground.

Zhang Xingdeng became nervous, drew his sword, and before he could make a move, he met the person in front of him and came forward, and there were more than a dozen people in the black, and when he fixed his eyes and saw clearly, he saw that it was Dongwang himself who was walking behind the crowd.

"Young boy?" Zhang Xing felt a sense of discouragement. When the king of the east came, did he know what was going on? Whoever came to ask him for sin?

"Lao Zhang, is that you?" Han Jian stepped forward and said, "It's good to see you, I thought you had an accident." Several generals in the army were killed for no reason, and someone was reporting this to the king. I was going to come over to take a look, but I heard that there was some chaos in the city, and there was no one in Wu'an, so I could only come to you to ask about the situation. ”

Zhang Xing's face was a little stiff, he didn't expect Dongwang to come over so soon.

The words of the king of the east. Most of his life was unbelieving. If the king of the east just came over to ask about the situation, he couldn't help but say that he would even kill the herald directly?

At this moment, a few soldiers came over at the door, as if they were panicked and came with some news, and before they could get closer, they were already grabbed by the people next to Han Jian and pressed in together.

"What?" Han Jian looked at a few people.

These people are Jiang Ke and others who have just gone to assassinate several generals in the army.

"I'm here to report the military situation to the general." Jiang Ke was very innocent, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "I don't know ...... young man here."

"Oh. If there's anything, just say it. Han Jian said.

Jiang Ke pretended to be panicked and said: "The general of the left army was killed, the murderer fled, and someone is chasing him. ”

"It's a big deal." Han Jian glanced at Jiang Ke and said, "Lao Zhang, go inside and say, it's cold this day, and it's inconvenient to talk outside." ”

Zhang Xing's face was pale, Liu Hua, the general of the Left Army, was the person he had seen in the list of Guo Shaoyue before, and he was killed so quickly, he always felt that he had not seen it that way, or that it was Dongwang himself who killed him.

Han Jian came, Zhang Xing didn't dare to make a move, so he had to enter the hall with Han Jian, and then several soldiers lit all the candlesticks in the hall, and the hall also became bright.

At this time, only a few generals came, but they were all at a loss, apparently awakened from their sleep by the herald, and they did not know what was happening in the city.

When the people saw Zhang Xing, they didn't wait to salute, but they found that Dongwang was also there, and they couldn't help but get nervous one by one.

After arriving in Luoyang, the king of the east has never personally come to the yamen of the military station at night, if something big didn't happen, how could the king of the east come in person?

People saluted Han Jian one after another, Han Jian did not sit behind the handsome case, but pointed to the position of the handsome case, and said to Zhang Xing: "Lao Zhang, this is your territory, sit by yourself, don't be too formal." ”

Zhang Xing hurriedly saluted and said, "How dare your subordinates?" ”

"Why don't you dare? Do you want this king to go up and help you to sit down? Han Jian said with a smile.

Zhang Xing sat down in front of his handsome case, but saw that there were still two people standing next to Han Jianjian, and he didn't think anything about it, after all, when Dongwang came out, there were always a lot of fans behind him. But when he vaguely recognized the two of them, he thought about it carefully, and he sat down, but immediately stood up again.

Among the two people after Han Jian, there is the second lady of the South Wangfu who is the princess of the East, and the other person, he himself can't believe it, isn't it the current empress?

When Zhang Xing gave Guo Shaoyue the order before, he naturally knew that the purpose of Guo Shaoyue's transfer of troops into the inner city this time was obviously not only to create a riot in the city, but more importantly, to enter the palace. It's good now, the empress stands in front of him, if it is an opportunity, it is also an opportunity, almost a tentacle can kill the empress, but now the king of the east is also coming, if there is no full preparation, the empress dares to come with the king of the east?

Zhang Xing was about to step forward to salute, but saw Han Jian pressing his hand and said, "Sit down, this king just came over today to ask about the situation, don't be too formal." Just sit and talk. ”

When Zhang Xing heard this, he was a little suspicious of what he was originally sure of.

If the queen of the east is really the queen of the day behind him, why is there a reason that the king of the east is sitting and the son of heaven is standing?

At this time, more generals came in, but they were not as panicked as Zhang Xing, because most people didn't know what was going on, and naturally they didn't know that the current riots in the city were intensifying.

"Your Highness, what are you?" Su Tingxia came over late, and when he saw Han Jian, he came forward to salute, looking very respectful.

Although Su Tingxia came a little late, he was also the first person who dared to step forward and talk to Han Jian directly.

For a while, the entire hall looked at Han Jian, after all, the question asked by Su Tingxia was also something they wanted to know the answer to.

"Let's not talk about that." Han Jian looked at Zhang Xingdao, "Old Zhang, the right envoy of the army has come over, where is the left envoy of the army now?" ”

Zhang Xing didn't know how to answer for a while, could it be that Han Jian was sent out by him to rebel?

"Subordinate...... I don't know ......," Zhang replied.

"If you don't come, forget it, there is a small commotion in the city, and the king has already sent someone to calm it down, and it is estimated that it will be resolved after a while." Han Jian said to everyone present, "At the same time, there is another matter, I will tell you when the matter is over." Let's relax first, don't be too restrained, just wait for the news together. ”

The people present looked at each other, there was a riot in Luoyang City, no matter how small it was, it would not be small, they knew this very well. One by one, they all thought to themselves, don't look at what Dongwang said easily, and it will be investigated for a while, and who will be unlucky.

Han Jian sat there, but he kept looking at Zhang Xing with a smile. In winter, Zhang Xing's forehead was already full of beads of sweat.

After waiting for half an hour, Han Jian still stopped sitting and didn't speak, at this time, many generals had already noticed that something was wrong, and the two "personal guards" standing behind Han Jian also had more people who recognized their identities, but no one dared to go up and point them out.

The time passed quickly, and it was already the second half of the night, when suddenly it was noisy outside, but I saw several sergeants escorting one person in. When they arrived in the hall, many people exclaimed, and Zhang Xing also stood up and looked at the people who were escorted, wanting to see if it was Shaoyue.

After looking carefully, Zhang Xing was sure that it was not Shaoyue. The heart that was lifted, but still not let go. (To be continued......)
