"General Mu, do you recognize this?"

The eyes of the person holding the tiger talisman were round, not angry and self-threatening, with a murderous aura, and the tiger talisman in his hand was like a life-urging talisman, which made Mu He feel a chill.

Although he is the general of Tongguan and can command the three armies, but when he sees the tiger talisman in such a situation, it is difficult to say whether his generals will still listen to him.

The tiger charm is a yin and a yang, and the leader holds the yin charm, and if the court is requisitioned, the yang charm can order the three armies. According to the rules, he took out the other half of the yin talisman of the tiger talisman from his bosom and matched it with the yang talisman in this person's hand, and it really matched.

"General Mu, can you accept the emperor's secret edict?"

Mu He was pressed by others, and still said unyieldingly: "I will not accept it!" ”

The man nodded and said, "The order of the Son of Heaven should be surrendered to the whole world, and the order should be made in a way." Since you are not satisfied, then temporarily demote the two levels of the army and stay in front of the army, and then deal with it after the facts are ascertained! ”

Originally, Mu He had already made preparations for the fish to die and break the net, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard the words, "Temporarily demoted to two levels before the army is retained", that is to say, he is not guilty, not only does he not have to be beheaded by the raider, but he can also stay in the army as a general, demoted two levels, but from the main marshal to the deputy marshal, the same as Wu He's official rank, and the title of General Nanyuan remains the same, and the title of Jue Lu remains the same.

"General Mu, do you receive the order?!"

The man drank again, and the shepherd hesitated again and again, and now he is subject to others and has to resist, most of them will bring about their own destruction, so it is better to agree first, and wait for Luan to enter the customs before doing other things.

"Ben will command!"

As Mu He finished speaking, the man walked up to the handsome case under the gaze of everyone, held up the seal on the handsome case, raised his head and said, "Ben General." Forward General Liu Yu. On the orders of the Emperor of the Great Shun Dynasty. Zhangtong Pass garrison, can the generals have doubts? ”

Hearing that person's name, Mu and Dengshi's heart was half cold, he heard a lot about this Liu Yu's deeds in Chang'an City, originally just an inconspicuous concubine of the Marquis of Dingguo, the first emperor married the female army commander Xu to him, he was not killed, and since then he has been on the rise. From the commander of the Cheqian to the right commander of the Imperial Forest Army and then to the president, he repeatedly made contributions to the suppression of rebellions, and when the new emperor ascended the throne, he quickly controlled the situation in Chang'an and took sole power.

In the past, Mu He felt that this person was just a ruthless person, who dared to act bravely, and inherited a little bit of the military temperament of the Marquis of Dingguo, and he could also become a big thing when he encountered such an opportunity. But today, it seems that this Liu Yu is not only ruthless, but also dares to take risks and grasp the situation in such an unfavorable situation. He was a dignified Tongguan guard, but he was actually caught in his own territory. It's embarrassing enough to say it. He asked himself if he had the courage and courage.

Tongguan was controlled under the bloodless blade, and the new emperor Luan was also approaching Tongguan.

Liu Yu stood on the tower of the gate, looking at the torches in the distance, as if he was in a trance. Huo on the side asked, "Hey! That guy knew at a glance that he was uneasy and kind, why didn't you kill him for a hundred? ”

"What would you do if you went into the wolf pack alone and restrained the wolf king? Kill the wolf king? Liu Yu asked suddenly.

Huo Yi was shocked and said: "You can't do it, kill the wolf king, those wolves must tear you apart!" ”

"What we are in now is a wolf's den, and the soldiers in Tongguan have a deep grudge with the imperial court, if their generals are killed, they will have to stir up some chaos, and we can't afford this chaos now."

Huo Yi nodded as if he had realized something, and immediately asked again: "Then you can rest assured that guy?" I think he still plays tricks. ”

"He and his sworn brother have fallen out, and now they are both lieutenant-level guards, and they will contain each other. You go and keep an eye on him now, and if you make a rash move, you can ......."

Originally, Liu Yue wanted to say, "You can cut it first and then play", but after thinking about it, Huo Yuan's impulsive temper might find a reason to behead Mu He.

"You can take him to me!"

What Liu Yu is asking for now is a stable, stable takeover of military power, and then the three armies will go on the march. The defenders of Tongguan can be described as strong and strong, most of them are stationed from the border pass, and these battle-hardened generals are his greatest support to fight against King Huai.

Halfway through the autumn night, Luan Jia finally entered Tongguan. Originally, in the case of unclear circumstances, Luanjia would take risks when entering Tongguan, but Luanjia's entry was actually to show the grace of heaven to the defenders of Tongguan, and there were not only a thousand royal forest troops with the army, but also military rations and salaries in the future.

The first batch of rations began to be distributed on the night Luan drove into Tongguan, and the person in charge of the matter was Wu He, the general of An Li, who not only did not continue to investigate his "treason", but also entrusted him with heavy use, making Wu He grateful to Dade. At the same time, he also understood the intention of the imperial court, that is, to let him see Mu He's face clearly, although he also knew that Lu Dao Mu He had no choice but to sacrifice him, but this knot had been knotted, and he could not let go.

A group of Imperial Forest troops came out of Tongguan and quickly headed southeast, their purpose was to capture the envoys of the vassal kings, and there was only one chance, and it was a pity to miss it.

At this time, Su Yan was tremblingly sitting in front of the handsome case in the hall of the former general's mansion in Tongguan Pass, and in front of him, Liu Yu was walking back and forth, anxiously waiting for the news of Qu Zhu, who was in charge of hunting down the envoys of the vassal king.

"Master, can you please stop leaving." Su Yan finally mustered up the courage to say, "Walking around like this, I'...... I was a little scared. ”

Su Yan rarely saw Liu Yue's nervous appearance, and the more nervous Liu was, the more he felt that a catastrophe was coming.

Liu Yu glanced at him, smiled encouragingly, and said, "Don't worry, it's okay." ”

In fact, the threat in Tongguan is only Mu and one person, as long as he is controlled, then Tongguan will remain peaceful.

At dawn, Qu Zhu finally came back, and he brought back a few envoys of the vassal king who were tied up like zongzi, and the first one was the prince of Huaidi who was also the lord of Min who had met Liu Yu many times.

At this time, in addition to the arrogance of the lord of Min, the other prestige no longer exists. Lord Min raised his head and glared at Liu Yu with a vicious gaze, as if he was going to cut Liu Yu alive with his gaze. The footsteps at the door sounded, and the generals, including Mu He and Wu He, were all summoned by Liu Yu to accept the "confrontation".

"This." Liu Yu looked at the generals and pointed to the Lord of Minjun in front of him, "It is the future Lord of Huai Land, and the eldest daughter of King Huai, Lord Min, I think you have heard of it." ”

Liu Yu deliberately looked at Mu He when he said this, and Mu He was still very calm at this time. He was confident that Lord Min would not shoot himself in the foot, admitting that treason was a great crime of raiding his family and exterminating his family. And in his eyes, Lord Min is a wise person, otherwise King Huai would not have chosen her as a female successor.

After Liu Yu finished his introduction, he looked at Lord Min and asked, "Lord Min, I don't know what your purpose is for coming to Tongguan this time?" ”

"What else?" Lord Minjun took a sip and said, "On the orders of my father, I came to see the Son of Heaven!" ”

"What else?" Liu Yu asked again.

Lord Min looked at Liu Yu with a sneer, and said, "In addition to this, of course, it is to persuade the Tongguan guards to shepherd with them, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and serve the Ming Lord!" ”

There was an uproar, not only the soldiers were surprised, but Mu He was even more shocked. Lord Min, isn't this a self-confession?

In fact, he didn't know what to do, Lord Min knew that the conflict between King Huai and the court had started, and she would definitely die, so she didn't want to fall into the prestige of King Huai and the prince of Huai.

For a strong political woman, the glory of dying cannot be looked down upon.

And she thought that it was Mu He who first surrendered and then rebelled, which led to her being captured, so she had to pull Mu He on her back when she died.

Mu He hurriedly knelt down and defended: "Your Majesty, General Liu, this woman ...... It's spewing blood! ”

"Phew! You wolf-hearted thing! The county lord of Min shouted, "I obviously told the county lord that I would abandon the secret and serve the king of Huai and conspire with him, and he also said that he would use the new emperor's head as a token, what about the head?" ”

Mu Yu was confronted on the spot, his heart was in turmoil, and he continued to explain: "Your Majesty, the minister has never said such a thing. Absolutely nothing! ”

Lord Min sneered with blood on his face, and his laughter was a little poignant.

The new emperor didn't speak, Liu Yu didn't say much, only the laughter of Lord Min was echoing in the entire hall, and the laughter became more and more creepy.

For Mu He's generals, it is clear that there are envoys coming in and out of them these days, and they don't know what these envoys are plotting with Mu He, but they generally expect that it should be the same as what Lord Min said. Although King Huai has not officially fought with the imperial court now, anyone can see this sign clearly, and there is no other way for the generals to choose one or the right and be loyal.

But as a local garrison of the imperial court, he did not serve the imperial court, but chose to take refuge in the thief, which in itself was a shameful thing for the soldiers. The great drought in Guanzhong is also well known, non-payment of food and salary and betrayal of the court cannot be cause and effect, and the crime of Mu He has not been decided, but in the hearts of all his subordinates, his sin has been condemned to death.

Su Yan didn't know what to say at this time, when he saw Lord Min in the past, he could only look at it from a distance, and he didn't even tell him. Now it was his turn as the head of a country, his heart was still full of timidity and inferiority, and he looked at Liu Yu for help.

Liu Yulang said: "The rebellious minister, what he says cannot be believed. Such a wolf ambitious woman, biting casually, does she have to make the Son of Heaven lose the pillar of the country? Generals, you should not have heard her words today. ”

Mu He finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as this crazy woman's words were not accepted, then his charges would never be confirmed. I can't help but feel happy in my heart. But even if Liu Yue said that he didn't hear it, can others really think that he didn't hear it?

In the hearts of the generals, there has been a huge suspicion of Mu You, and this suspicion directly leads to Mu You's prestige being discredited, and his prestige is not existing.

And this is also the ultimate goal of Liu Yu to confront Lord Min and Mu in person.

The corners of Liu Yu's mouth showed a smile that was not easy to be noticed, and continued: "The traitor Su Min, who is a big rebel, is ordered to be temporarily detained in prison, and will be disposed of after the emperor will be examined!" ”

Liu Yu was not in a hurry to behead the Lord of Minjun, but also to use her as a hostage to contain the Huai army.

The mourning soldiers will win, and Liu Yu does not want to create good conditions for the enemy in vain. (To be continued......)
