Yanmen Pass

The breath of Xiao Kill permeated between all things in Xiao Suo, Zhang Yue, the guard of Yanmen, felt the tremor on the ground, and in the distance, the flag representing the Houjin Banner could be vaguely seen, thousands of horses galloping, and the suffocation of the black clouds pressing the city slowly pressed, such a scene, for the battle-hardened border generals, would not have made Zhang Yue nervous, but at this moment, the hand holding the sword unconsciously drenched a little sweat.

Thinking of the news from the capital yesterday, there was a trace of hesitation in my heart again.

Switch to dedicate the city! The Houjin army entered the customs and approached Taiyuan.

This is unacceptable for a general who guards the border and has spent half his life defending against the invasion of the Later Jin and Mongols, and he knows very well that once the city is opened, the name of traitor will leave him in the name of ten thousand years.

It's just that when I think of my wife and children, my originally firm heart is shaken at the moment, and not everyone can give up their family for the sake of the country.

"General Zhang, are you nervous?" The indifferent voice sounded in his ears, making Zhang Yue, who was suffering in his heart, tremble subconsciously.

"No, it's just that the last general has been feeling unwell recently, and Master Lao is worried." Zhang Yue slowly let out a sigh, adjusted his own mood, and squeezed out a smile on his face, he couldn't figure out why the new Shanxi political envoy who was supposed to take office in Taiyuan appeared in Yanmen, especially at this time, thinking of the content of Cao Gelding's secret letter, Zhang Yue's heart moved, could it be that this young political envoy already knew Cao Eunuch's plan and came here one step ahead?

"That's good, the enemy is already in the city, and it's time for the general to act." Zhuo Ao looked down on the vast Houjin army from the city wall. There was no expression on his face, but this fearless bearing. It made Zhang Yue impressed, facing the momentum of thousands of troops. Such calmness cannot be pretended.

"Good!" At this moment, Zhang Yue couldn't help but hesitate anymore, slowly pulled out the sword at his waist, and said in a deep voice: "The three armies listen to the order and open the city gate!" ”

The sword followed closely on Zhuo Ao's shoulder: "My lord, forgive me, the last general is also forced to do so." ”

"What are you still doing in a daze, open the city gates!" Seeing that many soldiers hesitated, Zhang Yue shouted.

"General Zhang, have you figured it out? This step out. But there's no turning back. Zhuo Ao said indifferently.

"My family's lives are on the line, and I have no choice." Zhang Yue shook his head, and under his order, the city gate finally slowly opened, and Houjin's iron rider let out a strange cry of excitement and rushed towards the city gate.

"It's a pity." Looking at Zhang Yue, the imaginary annoyance and anger did not appear on Zhuo Ao, his face was as calm as ever, calm and terrifying.

"What a pity?" Now that the thing has been done. Zhang Yue also let go, and when he saw that the Houjin army had come to the city, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, at this moment. A red figure flashed in front of him, and in Zhang Yue's horrified gaze, he jumped directly from the three-zhang high city tower.

That's always by Zhuo Ao's side. That beautiful girl, for that beautiful woman with a little playfulness in her gentleness. Zhang Yue was very impressed, it was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life. died like this, which made him feel a little regretful.

A hint of coolness, it seems that the temperature at the gate of the wild goose has dropped sharply by several degrees at this moment.

"Ice and snow!" With a coquettish shout, Zhang Yue subconsciously turned his head to look at the city, and a dazzling light made him a little unable to open his eyes.

"Will ...... Will...... General, this ......" A confidant guard looked at the scene downstairs in disbelief, his voice became stammered, and with a ghostly expression, he kept retreating, and sat at Zhang Yue's feet.

"Fuck off, useless rubbish!" Zhang Yue kicked his cronies aside with a black face, and subconsciously looked at the city again, but the next moment, Zhang Yue's whole person froze in place.

Under the city wall, the city gate was wide open, however, the Houjin Iron Horse, which had just swallowed mountains and rivers with a sense of anger, as if to destroy all obstacles, was frozen in the open space in front of the Yanmen Pass at this moment.

The sound of shouting and killing disappeared at a certain moment as if it was frozen, between heaven and earth, as if only the Yanmen Gate was closed, the breathing and heartbeat of a group of Ming soldiers, closed, the momentum of ten thousand horses galloping was still the same, but at this moment, it had been completely frozen, and even the people and horses were frozen into an ice sculpture frozen on the desolate battlefield.

"I wanted to give you a chance to be loyal to me, but now it seems that there is no need for this." Ignoring the sword hanging on his neck, Zhuo Ao stomped on the city wall with both hands, looked at the Yanmen closed, a hundred zhang away, the Houjin army that was not moving forward, shook his head and sighed: "The general has no courage, the soldiers have lost their courage, it seems that Houjin has no courage to enter the city again, Gonggong Cao will not only prepare such a play, it will be too disappointing." ”

"Don't forget, your life is still in my hands!" Trying to control the trembling of his body, Zhang Yue roared angrily.

"That's because you're wrong." Zhuo Ao didn't look back, a big hand stretched out abruptly, and Zhang Yue's burly body was picked up from the ground like a chicken at the moment.

"Any last words?" Zhuo Ao turned his head and looked at Zhang Yue, who was in the hands of the fire foreman Tuo, who weakly threw away the sword in his hand, and sighed.

"My wife and children are still in the hands of Cao Lao Thief...... The situation was reversed in an instant, looking at Zhuo Ao, Zhang Yue lost all his strength.

"Leave it to me, and hit the road." Nodding, Zhuo Ao said indifferently.

"Thank you!" A flash of light flashed in Zhang Yue's eyes, but as the fire foreman Tuo's fingers exerted force, with a crisp click, the light also dimmed in an instant.

"Evil God, this matter will be handled by you, his wife and children will be raised by the political secretary in the future." Zhuo Ao didn't look back, just said indifferently.

"Yes." The Fire Cloud Evil God nodded.

"Zilong, Yanmen Pass will be handed over to you, and the military power must be grasped in your own hands." Looking at Zhao Yun, Zhuo Ao said.

"The last general commands." Zhao Yun bowed and said.

Glancing at the Baizhang Ice Domain under the city wall, Zhuo Ao smiled silently, the army of the high martial arts world is actually really miserable, a martial arts master can put down a piece with a big move, although with Xiao Zhao's current ability, such a big move can only be released once, and the dead people are not many compared to the Houjin army, but it is enough to make it cold.

"Close the gates!" Zhao Yun's voice sounded, although theoretically speaking, Zhuo Ao, the political envoy, has no right to meddle in the border defense, but now, at least with Zhao Yun's order, no one dares to refute or question.

"Husband, what should we do next? The current situation seems that the eunuch surnamed Cao is not sincere at all. Xiao Zhao walked over, and the surrounding soldiers hurriedly and spontaneously moved out of the way.

"There is a ghost with sincerity, looking for him, just to ask for a righteous and bright title." Shook his head: "The political secretary is not busy taking over first, if you want to sit firmly here, first take the military power in your hands, the border army has already started, and then it will be much easier." ”

Since the tasks specified by the system do not limit himself to follow the plot, Zhuo Ao is too lazy to care about the little on the rivers and lakes, compared to this, this world is just a position of honor that is used as a trick, but it makes him more interested.

It's just that so far, Zhuo Ao has no way to determine whether this is a secret place with a movie as the background or a TV series, if it is a TV series, thinking of the old monsters that have been hidden in the dark for thousands of years, and existed in the time of Qin Shi Huang, Zhuo Ao has a little headache, but it is the movie world, which is much simpler.

Next, Zhuo Ao spent two months to replace the garrison generals in Shanxi one by one, the previous generals, except for a very few, were either dismissed, expelled from the army, or directly beheaded, as for the new generals, it was Zhuo Ao who found some capable generals in the army who were depressed because of their origins and other problems.

These people have prestige in the army, but because they have been suppressed by their superiors all the year round, they cannot be reused, and there are basically no cronies and forces at the top, and now they are promoted by Zhuo Ao, and they can only rely on Zhuo Ao tightly, and become Zhuo Ao's cronies, and then with the help and support of Zhuo Ao, the old forces in the general are gradually pulled out one by one, and in two months, Zhuo Ao's soldiers have bloodless control of the entire military power in Shanxi.

Two months later, the officials who had been preparing to make it difficult for Zhuo Ao in Taiyuan finally looked forward to Zhuo Ao's arrival, but the tricks they had prepared before had not had time to be performed, but they were stunned to see that the army that followed Zhuo Ao quickly occupied various important places in Taiyuan, and the original defenders of Taiyuan were all disarmed and locked up in the barracks.

Moreover, from the high-ranking officials in the city to the yamen officials, the whole family is controlled by the army, and the reputation is protection, but they just look at the fierce and vicious border army, as if they may make huge profits at any time, and cut the weapons in their hands to their whole family, and the officials in Taiyuan are completely cowardly.

Just kidding, those damn soldiers want to do something to cut people even if they have nothing to do, these days, the officials in the city can't even sleep well, who would dare to die against Zhuo Ao at this time? Therefore, every decree of Zhuo Ao was implemented with the highest efficiency.

Of course, Zhuo Ao also knows that this method of high-pressure coercion can be used for a while, but it is impossible to use a lifetime, in the process of governance, it is not short to look for candidates who can take over these positions, by the third month, Taiyuan officials were almost completely purged, replaced by Zhuo Ao's people, although it is not in accordance with the law, but at this moment the entire Shanxi military and political power is owned by Zhuo Ao alone, and the sky is high Emperor Yuan, in the face of Zhuo Ao's strong style, no one can resist.
