Chapter 253: Blood Shadow and Listening to the Wind
The reason why Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song targeted Zhang Yi was naturally for a reason. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhang Yi has relied on the strength of the Ten Standing Servants since he was promoted to the current official worship of General Pingbei, so He Jin and others have already judged him to be the party member of the Ten Standing Servants, and naturally he has become a thorn in their eyes, and they are not unhappy.
When He Jin and the others were plotting to get rid of Zhang Yi, Sima Wei, who entered Luoyang with Chengbao, has now entered Zhang Rang's mansion.
Less than half an hour after Sima Wei entered Zhang's mansion, he left Zhang's mansion again, but when Sima Wei came out, he was followed by Zhang Rang, the big eunuch, it turned out that Zhang Rang came to send Sima Wei in person, and Zhang Rang personally sent it out, which shows how important Sima Wei is in Zhang Rang's eyes.
After sending Sima Wei away, Zhang Rang did not turn around and go back to the house, but directly ordered someone to drive him to Zhao Zhong, and then Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, the two eunuchs, hurriedly rushed to Jian Shuo's mansion.
Jian Shuo, one of the ten permanent attendants, the most trusted eunuch around Emperor Ling, trusted him even better than Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang.
Since Emperor Heng of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xiyuan Army was set up, and the Xiyuan Army had eight captains, and above the eight captains, there was the post of commander of the Xiyuan Army, the commander-in-chief of the Xiyuan Army and the eight captains, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were one of the eight captains, and before they served as the eight captains, Jian Shuo had been named the commander of the Xiyuan Army, the same second-grade military attaché, and commanded the eight thousand forbidden army.
Speaking of which, let's talk about Emperor Han Ling, Emperor Han Ling is indeed a faint monarch, this is true, but is Emperor Han Ling stupid? Of course he is not stupid, if he is stupid, he will not hand over the 15,000 troops guarding the Luoyang city defense to He Jin, and hand over the Xiyuan army responsible for the security of the palace to Jian Shuo, this is the emperor's checks and balances, he doesn't understand this, but he is willing to be a faint monarch, a faint monarch who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun.
It is precisely because Emperor Han Ling only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, so he will play with him, and the ten permanent servants who can give him advice will be reused, and the best Jian Shuo who plays with him will be the person he trusts the most.
After Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang found Jian Shuo, they relayed Zhang Yi's situation and value to Jian Shuo, and Jian Shuo immediately took the two of them into the palace after hearing this, and after the three of them entered the palace, it didn't take long for He Jin to be passed into the palace.
Seeing He Jin enter the palace, the figure of the person who had been hiding in the distance of the palace gate flashed and froze in place, and after less than three minutes, when the person reappeared, it was already in a remote alley three miles away from the palace gate.
After looking around at the mouth of the alley and confirming that there was no one around, the man jumped into the courtyard of a common people's house.
Falling like a bird's feather in the courtyard, the man hurried into the west wing.
Entering the west wing, the man first closed the door, and then looked out cautiously.
Not long after the man entered the west wing, a middle-aged man walked out of the main hall, and after the middle-aged man left the main hall, he first rolled his eyelids and looked at the roof and the wall, then walked to the door, looked out through the crack in the door, and finally suddenly coughed twice.
Hearing the middle-aged man cough twice, the talent in the west wing turned around and walked quickly to the wall, and after groping on the wall for a while, the man suddenly pressed hard, and he pressed it, and a secret door suddenly opened on the wall.
Dodge into the secret door, the man turned around and closed the secret door, with the groping of both hands, moving quickly in the secret passage, after a while he came to another secret door, after lightly buckling three times, the man stood at the door with his hands down, waiting quietly, after a while, the secret door in front of him opened, and the person who opened the door was Sima Wei.
As soon as he saw Sima Wei, the man immediately arched his hand and said, "Sir, He Jin has already entered the palace." ”
"Well," nodded indifferently, Sima smiled and said to the man: "Let Qingling you do this kind of thing, it's really condescending, let General Bai know, I let the four saints of the night go to keep an eye on me, he doesn't know how to arrange me, hehe......"
It turned out that the person who was in charge of staring at He Jin was Bai Zhan's fellow disciple and Hongluan's senior brother, known as one of the Four Saints of Night Walking, representing Qingling, the Qingling of Qinglong, so that he, a "big thief", was responsible for stalking, and it was also a shame that Sima Wei thought of it.
"Hehe," smiled innocently, Qingling scratched her head and said: "It is Qingling's honor to be assigned by Mr., but to be honest, I didn't believe that He Jin would be passed into the palace at first, Mr. went to Zhang Rang, but he said, 'Our total strength is twice as much as what is written in the report', why did Zhang Rang rush to find Zhao Zhong and Jian Shuo, and why did the faint monarch pass He Jin into the palace as soon as they entered the palace?" ”
Soon after Qingling followed Zhang Yi in Hongluan, under the recommendation of Bai Zhan, he also took refuge in Zhang Yi, and he was also in the establishment of bee stings before, but Zhang Yi was in the preparation of bee stings after Qing Ling was ordered to protect Sima Wei to Luoyang, Zhang Yi had already brought out Hongluan and Qingling from the establishment of bee stings, and he wanted Qingling and Hongluan to form their own teams, and the names were all good, one is called Blood Shadow, the other is called Tingfeng, Hongluan is responsible for Blood Shadow, specializing in assassination, which is also what Zhang Yi thought of after his assassination.
Zhang Yi had imagined what would happen if the assassin's operation was successful? Once he is assassinated, and there is no Soul Pill to resurrect, the ending will definitely be that the Xianbei people who have just returned to Shun will immediately rebel, and when the time comes, the dragons on his side will be leaderless, and they are outnumbered, it is likely that the whole army will be wiped out, if not the whole army, at least it will be a heavy loss, and in the end, what will happen to those generals and strategists under him? Will they fight against each other for leadership? The answer is basically yes.
It was after some careful consideration that Zhang Yi felt that this kind of decapitation operation similar to that of the special forces in later generations was actually very effective, and if it succeeded, it could almost be won without a fight, but if it failed, it might be like that assassin, but Zhang Yi believed that as long as he underwent strict training and professional guidance, his blood shadow would become a nightmare for all opponents at that time.
Hongluan is in charge of the blood shadow, so listening to the wind is naturally Qingling is in charge, listening to the wind, as the name suggests, is dedicated to exploring intelligence, and letting Qingling be responsible for exploring intelligence, this is also a decision made by Zhang Yi after listening to Bai Zhan introduce Qingling's ability.
According to Bai Zhan's words, which family hides any treasures, or has any unknown secrets, there is nothing that Qingling can't detect, plus Qingling is in the nightcrawler organization, which is specifically responsible for exploring intelligence, like the inn where Sima Wei is now, is the contact point established by Qingling in Luoyang, the courtyard he entered just now and the people in the courtyard are also his subordinates, and they can establish their own contact points in the prosperous Luoyang, just with this ability, it is not difficult for Zhang Yi to let Qingling train some "spies" for himself.
Blood Shadow and Listening to the Wind are just Zhang Yi's ideas now, and they have not yet been officially implemented, Qingling's job at this moment is to protect Sima Wei, since it is to protect Sima Wei, it is natural to not leave an inch, so when Sima Wei saw Zhang Rang, Qingling also accompanied him.
At that time, Qingling listened to the conversation between Sima Wei and Zhang Rang and was very strange, Zhang Yi confessed at the time, it was to ask Sima Wei to encourage Zhang Rang to meet Emperor Han Ling, and use the hand of Emperor Han Ling to control He Jin, so that he could implement the next plan, but after Sima Wei saw Zhang Rang, he didn't mention a word about the face of the saint, but he didn't mention a word, Zhang Rang hurriedly ran to see Zhao Zhong and Jian Shuo after Sima Wei left, and finally the three of them entered the palace together, and it didn't take long for He Jin to enter the palace, which made Qingling not clear why.
Listening to Qingling's words, Sima smiled, turned around and knelt on the couch, and then motioned for Qingling to sit too.
After Qingling sat down, Sima Wei explained: "We and Zhang let them use each other, when we are useful, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong will try their best to ensure that we are okay, even if we poke the basket, as long as there is no crisis to their interests, they will also protect us in front of the emperor, but once Zhang makes them feel that we have no use value, then they will kick us away like a dog." ”
Zhang Yi's greatest use value for Zhang let them is the soldiers in their hands, when Zhang Yi's troops reached 80,000, Zhang asked them to regard Zhang Yi as the most powerful foreign aid against He Jin, but when Zhang Yi's strength was greatly reduced, there was no use value for Zhang Zhang.
Sima Wei and they came to Luoyang to send a report on the war situation this time, and they were sent to the center first, and when they arrived at the center, He Jin and Zhang let them know, and learned that Zhang Yi only had less than 30,000 people left in his hands, and even self-protection became a problem, Zhang asked them to protect Zhang Yi and the Dingping Army? That was almost impossible, so Sima Wei had to go out of his way to remind Zhang Rang and tell the Ten Standing Servants that the Dingping Army was still very strong, and Zhang Rang realized this, so he hurriedly called Zhao Zhong and Jian Shuo to face the saint together.
"After Zhang asked them to attack the palace, they would naturally trumpet the merits of the lord in front of the emperor."
While explaining to Qingling, Sima Wei poured two bowls of tea, and handed one of them to Qingling, and then continued: "After talking about the merits of the lord, Zhao Zhong and they will also remind the emperor that He Jin wants to incorporate our Dingping Army under his command, which is the most taboo thing for the emperor, he will naturally summon He Jin and strictly order him not to make a move against us, and this is what the lord said about the balance of interests, in the words of the lord, the balance of interests is very useful, but it is also ridiculous and dirty, but now we have no way, I have to do this, hey~in vain~"
At the end of the words, Sima Wei sighed sadly.
Sima Wei's words were very straightforward, and Qingling naturally understood the meaning, but after understanding, Qingling asked a new question, that is, why did Zhang Yi establish this kind of balance of interests with the Ten Standing Servants, but not with He Jin.
Listening to Qingling's question, Sima Wei's face showed a smile again.
