The stars shine brightly, and the night fire flickers.

In the Nanyang Liang military camp, General Chu Lian sat alone in his camp tent, feeling a little complicated. There was still food on the table, and Chu Lian didn't eat much.

Huan Qi ascended the throne and posthumously sealed seven generations, in order to avoid secrecy, several ministers in the Liang court who had the same name as the ancestors of the Huan family changed their names one after another.

He changed his name from Chu Sui to Chu Lian, and Zhao Ye, an important minister beside Huan Wu, was renamed Zhao Ye.

Chu Lian was a general and controlled 100,000 Liang troops in Nanyang, of which 50,000 were from the northern army from Shendu. As one of the six generals with foreign surnames during the Huanwu period, Chu Lian was very old in the Liang army.

Tonight, he was waiting for an order, an order from Huayang City, an order that might change the situation.

But despite this, Chu Lian's heart was still uneasy. The uneasiness was not because he was afraid, but because it was all based on gambling.

Huan Qi was gambling, and Chu Lian, as the first executor on the front line, could easily see it.

Marching and fighting, fighting to the death, and sometimes gambling, but the nature of the two is completely different.

To take land and seek the country, it should be dignified. Huan Qi is not as good as Huan Wu, which can be seen by many generals in the Liang army.

When the demons invaded Liangzhou, Zhu Zi fought hard to meet the enemy, and Huan Qi saw the huge benefits behind this, so he ignored Huan Wu's deathbed warning and invaded Liangzhou.

And then within a few days, he was driven out by Yang Xian. After that, I thought that the demon clan would bring Yang Xian huge trouble, but it only took a few days for Yang Xian to solve the Demon Emperor and lead Liangyi's troops to attack Yongzhou.

Zhu Zizhen guarded Liangzhou for more than ten years, and also gave peace to Liangzhou for more than ten years. Whether it is the sergeants or the people of Liangzhou, they are very grateful for Zhu Zi. And Yang Xian helped Zhu Zi take revenge and solved the danger of the demon clan, so the millions of people in Liangzhou were willing to obey his dispatch.

Originally, when Yang Xian led the army to attack Yongzhou, the Liang army still had a chance. But because of Huan Chi's hesitation, the situation developed in the worst direction.

Yang Xian captured Cangqiu, most of the local forces in Yongzhou surrendered when they heard the news, and Chang Yu even tied up the Huan clan in the pickaxe capital to surrender to the city.

At this point, Yang Xian has completely grasped the situation in Yongzhou. It's just that Huan Qi is not reconciled, so he has this plan.

Chu Lian is not a person who plots to control the overall situation, he is at most just a chess piece in Huan Qi's hands, so the plan he knows is not comprehensive.

In this plan, the part that Chu Lian learned was the emptiness of the commercial customs defense in the past few days. For these 100,000 Liang troops, it was like a barrier, and the Yingyang Army was no longer in the business customs.

Therefore, the fortress in front of it is no longer an impregnable wall.

And the order issued by Huan Qi was to ask Chu Lian to wait for his order, seize Shangguan, enter the outskirts of Haojing, and solve the Zhichong army stationed in the southern suburbs of Linyuan.

It was not clear to Chu Lian what kind of certainty Huan Qi had, but this Emperor Liang was obviously hesitant and unsure, so he asked Chu Lian to wait.

"General!"

A somewhat familiar voice from Chu Lian sounded outside the tent, it was his deputy general Guo Wei.

"Come in!"

Guo Wei has been following Chu Lian for many years, and he is his most trusted subordinate. But when he got up, he was followed by a stranger.

Chu Lian frowned, he didn't know why Guo Wei brought a stranger here, and he didn't even say a word beforehand.

"What's the matter?"

"General, at this time, the old thief of Tong Gu has already led the Eagle Yang Army to leave, and it is the best time for us to attack Shangguan!"

"I know, but His Majesty's will has not yet come, so let's wait and see what happens."

Chu Lian waved his hand, thinking that Guo Wei was the same as those soldiers who wanted to ask for battle, so he didn't care much.

"General, there is a sentence that I have been wanting to say for a long time, I don't know if I should say it at this moment?"

Chu Lian was a little puzzled and looked up at Guo Wei.

"What?"

"Huan Qi has no virtue, and he lost Yongzhou after less than a year in charge of Liang State. At the beginning of the Cangqiu War, he was afraid, and he wanted to let the 300,000 troops of Yongzhou and the Zhou army lose both. His little thought is really not worthy of being a master. ”

"What do you mean?"

Chu Lian finally raised his head and looked at Guo Wei. This old friend, who has been fighting side by side for many years, surprised him very much tonight.

"If there is a big change today, with the talent of a general, you should be the master. Just a general of the Liang army, doesn't the general feel small? ”

"You want to persuade me? For whom? Yang Xian? ”

Guo Wei smiled, and did not answer Chu Lian's doubts, but just gave up.

"General, there is a great opportunity in front of you at this moment. If the general can serve the Ming Lord, it is also possible for him to pay homage to the prime minister in the future. ”

"Someone's coming!"

Before Guo Wei finished speaking, Chu Lian opened his mouth to stop, but the guards who belonged to him outside the camp did not come in and captured the two rebels in front of him.

"General, why do you have to do this?"

Guo Wei was able to clear the guards outside his tent without realizing it, and Chu Lian was indeed very surprised.

"Looks like you're prepared! Guo Wei, you have been by my side for a long time, I really haven't seen it, you are hiding so deeply? ”

"General, good birds choose trees to perch on, why are you so stubborn?"

"Humph!"

Chu Lian is a general, and his combat power is strong. He was no longer willing to entangle with Guo Wei, and when he was about to solve these two people, he found that the spiritual qi in his body was blocked and could not function at all.

Even, as soon as he raised his palm, his entire body fell weakly.

"You... What did you do? ”

"O General! Even if you are strong in battle, but after taking that gold cutting pill, you won't need any cultivation at all! ”

Chu Lian looked at the remnants of the food on the table and was suddenly shocked.

"Silverfish thief!"

"General, you and I have been fighting side by side for many years. I don't want to hurt you if I could. ”

Guo Wei's eyes showed a little helplessness, after many years of getting along, he and Chu Lian were not without feelings. It's just that he got the death order from above.

"Needless to say. The lord treats me with the grace of knowledge. If you want me to betray the beam, it can't be! ”

Chu Lian's entire body softened, but his momentum was not reduced by half a point.

"In this case, then let the general die! Don't worry, you and I have been brothers for many years, and I will let you have a decent death. ”

Guo Wei turned around and patted the stranger beside him on the shoulder.

"Tonight, these 100,000 Liang troops will seize Shangguan, enter Haojing, and finally fight with the Zhichong army. And you, too, will die in that coming war. ”

Chu Lian saw that the stranger beside Guo Wei walked towards him step by step, and his appearance slowly changed into his appearance.

This layer of camouflage is so delicate that even Chu Lian can't tell whether it's true or fake!
