117 B.C., on the evening of September 5.

Huo Qubing received Liu Che's holy decree, tomorrow Liu Che will go out of the palace to hunt, accompanied by Huo Quai, the location is still Ganquan Palace, the same, five thousand Huo soldiers are with him, but in order to ensure Liu Che's safety, five thousand Huo soldiers will take the first step, and they will rush to Ganquan Palace tonight to escort.

At the same time, Liu Che also specially told Huo Qubing that tomorrow he should wear his armor and bring his sword, and he was not allowed to wear court clothes.

Huo Quzhi was a little strange, "Why doesn't Your Majesty let me wear court clothes?" ”

The father-in-law of Xiao Shunzi, who came to deliver the decree, had a normal face and said: "Back to Da Sima's words, Your Majesty said that I hope to see Da Sima wearing my Han battle armor again, and at the same time, Your Majesty also asked the slave maid to tell Da Sima that the grain and grass are ready, and now most of them have arrived in Dai County, and they will be able to send troops in a few days, so tomorrow's hunt is actually for Da Sima's send-off." ”

Huo Qu was sick and shook his head, "So that's the case, then I understand." After that, Huo Quzhi's face showed joy, and he clapped his hands, "Great, the grain and grass have finally arrived, and it is not in vain that I have waited so long." ”

"Then the slave and maid retired." Xiao Shunzi's father-in-law gave his hand and said goodbye.

"Father-in-law walks slowly." Huo Quzhi waved his hand.

After Xiaoshunzi's father-in-law left, Huo Qubing called Qian Mingguang, who was about to lead the troops to Ganquan Palace, the royal hunting field, and instructed: "Mingguang, tomorrow's hunting is actually a review of my Huo soldiers by His Majesty, tell the brothers to show their spirits, and at the same time let them prepare well, tomorrow you shoot the prey, but it won't be long before you go to the battlefield to fight with the Huns, don't embarrass me Huo Quai, let alone lose Your Majesty, lose the face of the big man, understand?" ”

Qian Mingguang was overjoyed, great, he can finally fight, my mother's son is about to go crazy these days.

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, tomorrow I will definitely take my brothers to behave well, and I will definitely not let you lose face, let alone your majesty and the big man." Qian Mingguang straightened his waist and said confidently.

Huo Quzhi nodded and smiled, "Very good, then you can hurry up and set off with people, remember, after this battle, we can go home." ”

"No."

After speaking, Qian Mingguang left Chang'an at night with three thousand Huo soldiers and Jiang Guang's two thousand Yulin cavalry and rushed to Ganquan Palace.

Standing in front of the mansion, looking at the figure of Qian Mingguang driving away, the corners of Huo Quzhi's mouth outlined a good-looking smile, "It's finally going to be this day," looking up at the full moon in the sky, the smile on the corner of Huo Quzhi's mouth became stronger, and his eyes were full of tenderness, facing the full moon, Huo Qubing whispered, "Meng Yao, wait for me, I will be back soon." ”

.......

It was night, and in the dark Jiaofang hall, there was a woman's secret sobbing.

It was night, in the dim Wei Qing's study, a tall figure stood by the window, staring at the full moon in the sky, and tears flowed long on his majestic face.

It was night, in the depths of the dark Weiyang Palace, the emperor sat motionless at the desk with his back in his arms, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at the brazier in front of him in a daze, and looked at the brazier that burned everything.

He was waiting, waiting for dawn, waiting for dawn.

.......

It's night, sub-hour.

The secluded Dahan Palace.

The birds are silent, and everything is quiet.

The quaint and luxurious palace fell into a deep sleep.

The Imperial City of Nuoda, the Imperial City, also seemed to fall into a deep sleep, but unexpectedly, the Great Han Imperial Palace, which was guarded by 50,000 people, was empty tonight, and there was not a single soldier of the Yulin Army in sight.

"Bang!" The next moment, the nine gates of the imperial city opened at the same time, and the heavy wooden door slowly lifted under the pull of the iron chain, revealing the Yulin soldiers who had been waiting outside for a long time.

"Stomp, stomp!" Heavy footsteps sounded, armor rubbed and collided, and under the illumination of the moonlight, a pair of soldiers of the Yulin Army wearing red armor and holding a long halberd shield poured in from the nine gates of the Chang'an Imperial City.

In an instant, the entire palace, in all directions, was filled with feather forest soldiers in hideous armor and spears in their hands.

"Scatter!" With the order of the commander, the 50,000 Yulin army quickly dispersed and hid in all corners of the imperial city and the palace city.

And the nine gates of the tall imperial city, the eight gates of the palace city, and each gate has long been covered with archers with strong bows.

At this moment, the Han Palace has already laid a net of heaven and earth.

No, it should be that the entire Chang'an City has been covered with a net, since Qian Mingguang left, the four gates of Chang'an have long been closed, and the dark city is also full of Yulin soldiers.

100,000 Yulin troops, 10,000 Yulin cavalry, 50,000 stationed in the palace, 50,000 ...... Guarding at the four gates of Chang'an.

The killing move has already been laid, as long as Huo Qubing walks into the gate of the palace...... It's really hard to escape.

........

In the side hall on the side of the palace, more than 20 generals of Jiang Yuan's descendants stood here, and these 20 or so people were also the commanders of the 100,000 Yulin Army.

"My lord, everything is ready, and a moment ago, the brothers had arrived at their designated location." Deputy commander of the Yulin Army, Wei Hui said.

Wei Hui is a general under the command of the original Wei Qing, and he is also a relative of Wei Qing.

And he can become the deputy commander of the Yulin Army, which also shows Wei's attitude.

Looking at Wei Hui, Jiang Yuan nodded with satisfaction, his eyes swept to the other Wei generals in the hall, Jiang Yuan took away the smile on his face, and solemnly instructed, "Everyone, I believe you should all know in your hearts why Jiang summoned you here tonight, and why he mobilized 50,000 soldiers to enter the palace at night. Jiang has nothing to say, His Majesty's will has arrived, as a minister, we will definitely share our worries for the king, tomorrow, there must be no negligence! ”

The generals clasped their fists at the same time, "Never let down Your Majesty's trust." ”

"Good." Jiang Yuan nodded, "Your Majesty has a decree, everything must be obeyed by him tomorrow, in other words, if Your Majesty doesn't let you release arrows, you can't release arrows, Your Majesty doesn't let you kill, you can't kill people, everything has to wait for Your Majesty's dictation." ”

Wei Hui looked anxious and said, "Lord Jiang, you said that Your Majesty will not regret it suddenly, right?" ”

"Huh." Jiang Yuan sneered, "Regret? General Wei, do you think Your Majesty looks like the kind of person who puts his sword on the enemy's neck and then takes it back? Rest assured, since Your Majesty has made up your mind, and since Your Majesty has made a move, then he will never stop, and we just need to do our own thing. ”

After speaking, Jiang Yuan set his eyes on Liu Ke, who was standing at the end, lowering his head, not daring to look at himself, looking at Liu Ke's anxious appearance, Jiang Yuan smiled secretly in his heart, and a hint of playfulness appeared on his thin face.

Hehe, come with me? Run to my side to spy on intelligence? Liu Ke, Zhang Taishu, you are really stupid, have you forgotten what your Master Jiang came from?

Come with me, you're too tender, aren't you? But don't worry, I didn't plan to pack you up now, it's useless to keep you.

"Okay, that's all, you guys have a good rest tonight, and don't make a mistake tomorrow." Jiang Yuan asked the generals to retreat, and at the same time gave Liu Ke the opportunity to report the news.

........

Sure enough, as soon as the generals left, Liu Ke rushed out of the Chang'an Palace non-stop and rushed to Zhang Taishu's mansion.

He didn't dare to go directly to Huo Quai, because he knew that Huo Quai's mansion must be full of Yulin troops at this moment, and if he went, he would inevitably fall into the net, so he could only go to Zhang Taishu, and he could only let Zhang Taishu find a way.

"Big brother, Your Majesty is really going to do it!"

Taking advantage of the night, Liu Ke cautiously came to Zhang Taishu's blacksmith shop, and told Zhang Taishu who had just fallen asleep.

After listening to Liu Ke's words, Zhang Taishu, who had not woken up a little, instantly fell asleep, and cold sweat also wet his back in an instant.

"You...... Are you telling the truth...... It's true....... Your Majesty really wants to ......," Zhang Taishu asked in disbelief.

Liu Ke, who had tears in his eyes, nodded heavily, "Big brother, that's right, the news is true!" Now that the palace has laid a net, as long as General Huo steps into the palace gate tomorrow, then he will ......."

"Where's Mingguang? Where is Qian Mingguang and the general's Huo Jun? Zhang Taishu asked eagerly.

"Transferred, Your Majesty used the excuse of tomorrow's hunting to transfer Qian Mingguang and Huo Jun to Ganquan Palace! And now the four gates of Chang'an are under martial law! ”

"Bang." Zhang Taishu's huge body slammed into the ground, his bright tiger eyes were unprecedentedly dim, and his resolute and unyielding face was full of sadness and pain.

"Finally...... It's finally coming to this day, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is still ....... I still can't tolerate the general, hehe, yes, how can such a wise person as Your Majesty let a person with such high achievements as the general continue to live, hehe, I guessed it, I guessed it a long time ago. ”

Looking at Zhang Taishu's appearance, Liu Ke hurriedly helped him up, "Big brother, now is not the time for you to sigh, think of a way, you quickly think of a way, we can't watch General Huo die." ”

In an instant, Zhang Taishu's dim pupils brightened, and he grabbed Liu Ke's hand, and he whispered, "Yes!" Yes, now is not the time to say these words, save the general, you must save the general, Liu Ke, quickly, you go back to the palace quickly, go to Zhou Xing, he is now the deputy commander of the tiger camp in the Yulin Army, and he is also the first group of people to follow the general, you go to him, just say that I asked you to go, tell him that the general is in trouble tomorrow, let him no matter what happens, he must protect the general, support until I bring people here! ”

Liu Keleng paused for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "Will he agree?" He would be willing to risk his life......."

Zhang Taishu laughed, "The people who came back alive from the foot of Gaolan Mountain back then, except for that Zhao Ponu, none of the others will abandon the general." ”

Liu Ke thought for a while, and then asked, "What about you, big brother?" ”

Zhang Taishu didn't answer him, but instead looked at the two big knives hanging on the wall, looking at the big knives that he hadn't touched for many years, Zhang Taishu smiled lightly.

"I'll go find Mingguang."

I'm going to accompany the general on the road.

He has already seen the future, and after learning from Liu Ke's mouth that the four doors of the long door are closed, he already knows what the ending will be.

........

"Poof." The carrier pigeon flapped its wings and flew quickly into the night sky in the night, flying in the direction of Qingzhou and Yanmen Pass.

Seeing the carrier pigeon leaving, Zhang Taishu shook his head and whispered to himself, "I didn't want you to come back, and you can't come back in time, but at least...... At the very least, you should know this, hehe, I can probably guess that since His Majesty has made up his mind to do this, then he will definitely cut the grass to the roots. ”

One last glance at the carrier pigeon flying into the night sky, Zhang Taishu turned back to the blacksmith shop, and began to wipe his long knife, and began to scrub the armor that he had not worn for many years.

.........

Inside the side hall of the Imperial Palace.

Holding two carrier pigeons that were killed by feather arrows in his hands, Jiang Yuan smiled, "How long do you have to fly with this kind of pigeon?" Come on, help Zhang Cripple, now let the servants of Qingzhou and the high ignorance of Yanmen know what will happen tomorrow, even if it is killed, it must be killed in a proper name. ”

"No."

Throwing away the dead pigeon, Jiang Yuan took the brocade cloth and wiped his hands, and asked casually: "What happened to Yanmen, Qingzhou and Daijun?" ”

Jiang Yuan's subordinates replied: "Lord Qiyu, everything is ready, the three superintendents have received your secret order and Your Majesty's secret order, and at the same time, in case of the past, we have arranged manpower on the way back to Beijing, even if they are lucky enough to escape, it is impossible to escape those soldiers who are ambushed by us on the way." ”

Jiang Yuan nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, very good, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, should it be like this." ”
