One day, I commanded my men to deliver explosives to the palace district, and these explosives were going to blow up every iron gate of the palace into the sky - if you can't blow up your walls, then blow up your doors, right?

I was sitting in the car, admiring the ruins of Chang'an, and suddenly saw Wang Yuquan and Zhang Kangning walking on the road with a team of people! They once followed Liu Xingchao and Li Feiyu to Shandong, and they came back alive!

I shouted at them, and they hurried over.

Me: "It's not easy for you, six or seven out of ten of the forbidden soldiers are dead, and you are still alive." ”

Wang Yuquan: "We are surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops in Shandong, how can we escape?" A tenth is considered good! My bosses are all dead, and the organization is scattered. If you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing, and those who don't die will be promoted. I am now the commander of the 46th Army, and Zhang Kangning is the superintendent. We didn't have a good time in Chang'an, we ran out of ammunition and were about to die, but I didn't expect you to come back alive, and you also repaired the arsenal and explosives factory! The forbidden army is alive again all at once! I knew you could! People say you can't do it, but I tell them, you can! ”

Me: "Haha. As long as the forbidden army recovers half of its strength, it will be a matter of minutes to destroy the foreign dynasty. When we destroy the foreign dynasty, everything is not yet under our control. It's just around the corner! ”

Zhang Kangning frowned and said, "Hey, boss, you don't know. Now people are in turmoil! ”

Me: "The arsenal produces tens of thousands of artillery grenades every day, what else is there to mess with?" ”

Zhang Kangning said:

"There are some things that you can't go back to once you've experienced them.

Now the inner court is in chaos.

Zheng Xuangong, you know, right? At the beginning, he stayed in Chang'an, and after Liu Xingchao came to Chang'an, he led more than 200,000 forbidden troops to join Liu Xingchao, and Liu Xingchao trusted him very much. But Li Feiyu didn't believe it, they fought for power with each other, and said bad things about each other in front of Liu Xingchao every day.

When you didn't come the other day, the Praetorian Army was almost out of ammunition. In the past, when we were fighting, we would shoot with submachine guns at will, but at that time, we could only shoot bullet by bullet at the worst time. Even at night, we didn't fight in order to save bullets, so all kinds of bandits took advantage of the night to come to Chang'an to rob.

When do you say we've had this? Many forbidden soldiers felt that it was going to be over, so they deserted and fled, Li Feiyu wanted to execute them all, but Zheng Xuangong disagreed, they went to Liu Xingchao, Liu Xingchao didn't say anything, just lowered his head.

More than a month ago, Li Feiyu asked to rush out of the gate to fight a decisive battle, he said: "Sooner or later, it is better to die in a war than to die like a man." ’

Zheng Xuangong scolded him for being a waste and a fool.

They quarreled and almost fought in front of Liu Xingchao.

Later, Liu Xingchao did not listen to him, but sent the Janissary Army out to bomb Kaifeng. Winning is winning, but all the fuel and bombs of the Praetorian Army have been used up.

The Praetorian Army without fuel and bombs is a bunch of waste, so Chang'an's disappointment is greater, there are more deserters, and Li Feiyu kills more, and the contradiction between him and Zheng Xuangong is also greater.

Although you have repaired the explosives factory and the power plant after you returned, the contradiction between them is still very big. Now, on the surface, the forbidden army listens to Liu Xingchao, but Liu Xingchao seems to be seriously ill, and in fact he is no longer in charge, and now the forbidden army is divided into two factions, one is Li Feiyu and the other is Zheng Xuangong. ”

It turned out that the forbidden army, which had always been united, was also so chaotic.

Me: "So what kind of faction are you?" ”

They touched their heads: "We just came up, and we don't count any faction, we only listen to Liu Xingchao, the boss of the forbidden army." ”

I thought of Lu Ziluo again and asked, "When did Lu Ziluo come back?" He was arrested with me. ”

Them: "Lu Ziluo pretended to surrender, and then killed the guards and ran all the way back to Chang'an." He could have been a senior official in the imperial court and commanded the rest of the forbidden army, but he still came to Chang'an to serve Liu Xingchao. Of course, that's what he said. Li Feiyu didn't believe him and wanted to kill him, but Zheng Xuangong didn't agree, and Liu Xingchao didn't agree. ”

Me: "Got it. ”

Lu Ziluo is very suspected of being a traitor, and Zheng Xuangong may also be.

Another day, I went to the headquarters of the forbidden army in the military district of Chang'an City to report the situation to Liu Xingchao, and as soon as I entered, I found that the atmosphere was strange.

Armed guards filled the hallways, scouting everyone's body. I walked into the conference room, and there were about twenty people inside, all of them Forbidden Army commanders. They were all talking about something fiercely.

After listening to it for a while, I finally understood what was going on.

The double secret decree of the Senate and the Emperor came out: Li Feiyu was appointed as the new governor of the Inner Court and the commander of the forbidden army, and he was asked to kill Liu Xingchao.

Some people accuse Li Feiyu of rebellion, and Li Feiyu is vehemently rebutting it.

I stood up and said, "What's there to be noisy about, this is obviously the prime minister's discordant ploy." If I were the Senate and the Imperial Court, I would do the same. In fact, I wonder why they don't need a distraction plan. Why do they have to separate Li Feiyu, because they are most afraid of Li Feiyu! ”

Zhao Yuyang: "Who knows if it's true or not?" It's better to take all the military power, and listen to the ruler. The right to combat and the right to transfer are separated, with the right of transfer going to the commander-in-chief and the right of battle going to the commander of the army, giving the best of both worlds. ”

What a bad idea!

I said anxiously, "How can I do that!" It's choking! The reason why the imperial army is so weak is because the commander has no real power! These are extraordinary times, and one second can make the difference between life and death. If this defense area is attacked, the other defense areas will have to be reported to the chief before reinforcements can be made? The daylilies are cold! ”

Lu Ziluo stood up and said, "Dictatorship is too dangerous. What if someone mutinies? What if the commander came directly to attack the headquarters of our forbidden army? ”

I gave him a blank look and said, "What are you worried about!" Why don't you worry about falling meteorites from the sky and killing you while walking? ”

Li Feiyu also patted his chest at this time and said to Liu Xingchao: "Big brother! You know who I am! I have no intentions, have you forgotten that we have been together for 20 years of life and death? ”

At this time, Zheng Xuangong also said to Liu Xingchao: "Li Feiyu is fine, although he is reckless, he must be loyal." He has withstood the test, and he was the one who rescued you from Shandong in the first place! ”

Liu Xingchao finally spoke: "Yes! I have so many subordinates, and they usually keep saying that they are loyal to me and the inner court, and they will rebel if they are not supposed to rebel! Without Li Feiyu, I wouldn't have been able to go to Chang'an; Without Zheng Xuangong, I wouldn't even have Chang'an. ”

He then loudly announced: "This secret order is fake, just to divide us!" I have absolute trust in my men. I appointed Li Feiyu and Zheng Xuangong as generals of the forbidden army, each in charge of two armies, and defended the headquarters. Dongfang Ju, you step up the production of explosives, I will blow up the palace into an empty shelf, and I want the First Army and the Senate to all die! Zhao Yuyang, hurry up and prepare for war, and all the bombs, fuel, and military rations are ready. Don't you want to play, I'll play with you! ”

On the way back, I met Zhao Yuyang again.

I said: "Lu Ziluo and Zheng Xuangong may be traitors, they must be sent by the imperial court." ”

Zhao Yuyang shook his head and said, "Maybe?" Sure? Now that the situation is so critical, why should you be suspicious? ”

Me: "How did Lu Ziluo escape?" ”

Him: "We can get out, why can't he?" Why aren't the two of us traitors, he is? ”

I was speechless.

He said: "At the beginning, Zheng Xuangong controlled more than 200,000 forbidden troops in Chang'an, and he defected to Liu Xingchao without saying a word, how could he be a traitor? ”

Me: "What if they don't have the best intentions?" Are we going to remind Liu Xingchao to be careful? ”

Zhao Yuyang: "You said be careful of Lu Ziluo, and I also said to be careful of Li Feiyu!" You see that he wants to fight and kill all day long, and he not only kills outsiders, but even kills people from the forbidden army! Let me ask you a question, why do you have to worry about Lu Ziluo and Zheng Xuangong, but not Li Feiyu? ”

I thought about it and said, "Because I'm Li Feiyu's person?" ”

He said, "That's why! Because you are too close to Li Feiyu, you unconsciously look towards him, and people you don't know, such as Lu Ziluo and Zheng Xuangong, you don't trust them. ”

I scratched my head: "I really can't argue with that." ”

He said: "In these extraordinary times, we must not suspect each other and fall for the enemy's tricks! We must look forward so that we can have a future. ”

So, the two of us continued to rush to production, almost too busy to sleep.
