Chapter 48: Luoyang City (2)
On a high mountain next to Hangu Pass, Sima Ting sat casually on a prominent boulder on the top of the mountain, carrying the remnant sun, looking at the ancient road of Hanguguan that stretched out among the lofty mountains and cliffs. Sima Yi held a pot of wine, stood beside Sima Ting, and poured a mouthful of water into his mouth, but most of the wine was spilled on the boulder.
Sima Yi's drunken eyes were hazy, and he pointed to the lofty mountains under his feet and shouted: "Old Seven." Look at this Hangu Pass! It is known as the first level in the world, and one husband is the pass! Don't open it! We occupy such a strong pass, we can attack the Central Plains when we advance, and we can hold the pass when we retreat. In the future, when you become the emperor, you must send your most trusted people to guard Guanzhong. Otherwise, if that person has a rebellious heart, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
Sima Ting listened to Sima Yi's words, and couldn't help but cry and laugh. Now he hasn't even skimmed the eight characters, but he is good, and he has already begun to plan what will happen after he ascends the throne, and he is really "taking precautions"! Sima Ting glanced at Sima Yi worriedly and said, "Third brother, sit down." Be careful, don't fall off. This mountain is more than 300 zhang to say the least, and after falling, it is absolutely blurred with flesh and blood, and there is no corpse in the dead! ”
Sima Yi waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It's okay." With a master of transformation like you by your side. The third brother is not afraid of falling to death. As soon as the words fell, Sima Yi stepped on the boulder that was splashed with wine, and his feet slipped, almost falling off the top of the mountain. This scared Sima Ting out of a cold sweat, and hurriedly grabbed him, which prevented Sima Yi, an ambitious general, from "dying before he left the army".
Sima Yi didn't know it, he was dragged by Sima Ting to sit down next to Sima Ting, waving his hands in the air wildly, and said to Sima Ting: "I'...... What did you just say? There you ...... You're such a master of the Transformation Realm, don't you ...... Don't be afraid! And oh, what the third brother just said was from the bottom of his heart. In the future, you must control the customs in your hands. ”
Sima Ting smiled again and again: "Okay, good." Just sit down. After I ascend the throne, I will make the third brother a king of Guanzhong, and the third brother will guard Guanzhong for me. ”
Sima Yi glared, shook his head firmly, and said, "No, no, no!" The third brother didn't want to go back to Guanzhong. The third brother has been in Guanzhong for seven or eight years, and he calls back and forth with the Xianbei people every day. The third brother is tired of it. In the future, after you ascend the throne and calm the world, you will give Yangzhou to the third brother! The girls of Qinhuai River are very enthusiastic ......"
The more Sima Yi spoke, the softer he became, and finally fell into Sima Ting's arms, his eyelids slowly closed, and he couldn't stop muttering: "Seventh, when the time comes, call the eldest brother and the second brother." The four of us went to the Qinhuai River for a while. Let me tell you, don't look at the eldest brother's sanctimonious appearance, he used to be the most active one when he was looking for fun. Hey, hey, hey! After Sima Yi laughed a few times, he closed his eyes and didn't react anymore.
Sima Ting pushed Sima Yi's shoulder, but found that Sima Yi had completely fallen asleep. The relaxed smile on his face gradually faded, and he sighed lightly, snatched the wine jug from Sima Yi's hand, and poured a mouthful of water into his mouth. A wave of sadness spread indefinitely.
Since the army swore to come to Hangu Pass, Sima Yi, who was originally passionate, suddenly became depressed. In the past two days, this is the third time that Sima Yi has drunk rice tincture. The depression in Sima Yi's heart, how could Sima Ting not know? As soon as the army comes out, it is necessary to have a life-and-death duel with the eldest brother Sima Fan! After all, it will come to the moment when the brothers kill each other, no matter how generous the third brother was before, he has become overwhelmed, and he can only use spirits to numb himself and escape this cruel reality for the time being.
The third brother is depressed in his heart, why shouldn't he be?! Although he once put the sword on Sima Fan's neck, he was afraid that he would never have the courage to cut down that sword, right? Alas, no matter what mistakes the eldest brother lets go, it is still the eldest brother after all! The family is in tatters. Now only the three brothers remain. When it really comes to that moment, how should I make a trade-off?
A strong wind blew in his face, blowing Sima Ting's long hair scattered on his shoulders at will fluttering in the wind, but he couldn't hide his sadness when he was wild and uninhibited.
Shadow Feng carried the double swords on his back, jumped onto the boulder, appeared behind Sima Ting, and arched his hand: "Holy Son." ”
Sima Ting slowly put down the wine jug, and said without replying: "Say it." What's up? ”
Ying Feng glanced at Sima Yi, who was asleep, thoughtful in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Holy Son." The secret letter that the Holy Son asked Miss Wei Shuo to write has been written. My subordinates are here to ask for instructions on what to do next. ”
Sima Ting took a breath, looked in the direction of Luoyang City, and said slowly: "It's up to you and Tao Huaran and Tao Zhang to go to Luoyang City, and take advantage of the chaos to send the letter to Wei Qi." Be careful. ”
The night was deep, and the waning moon was in the sky. Wei Qi, who was wearing a forbidden army general's armor, walked out of King Zhao's mansion with his head down. The two rows of lanterns in front of the mansion emitted a bright light, illuminating the front of the mansion, but it was impossible to see Wei Qi's face buried under the helmet. Wei Qi slowly walked down the steps, and suddenly looked up at the waning moon in the sky, the dim moonlight shone on his face, and finally people could vaguely see the face buried under Wei Qi's helmet. The handsome face was now full of sloppy beards, and the roots stood upright, like steel thorns. I don't know how many days he hasn't taken care of it.
Wei Qi reached out and touched the armor on his chest, feeling a secret letter hidden in the flesh, slowly lowered his head, and sighed heavily unknownly. This secret letter was shot in front of him tied to a steel crossbow arrow when the Jingzhou army frantically attacked Luoyang City today. On the front of the letter were only three words: Open the gates. But the handwriting was all too familiar to him. The north side of the letter is densely filled with more than 100 names, and the names of these people, Wei Qi is also too familiar to be familiar with, it is more than 100 people of the Wei family, old and young!
Hey! Sima Ting! In the past, Empress Jia threatened you with Princess Chu, but now you are better than the blue, and you threaten me with hundreds of lives of the Wei family? Wei Qi couldn't help but show a bitter smile on his face, and now he finally understood what kind of mood Sima Ting was in at that time.
Open the gates? It's weird. When will the two brothers Sima Ting and Sima Fan get back together? How could Sima Ting inexplicably want to open the city gate by himself and help Sima Fan break through Luoyang City? Could it be that Jingzhou has besieged Luoyang City for four months, and these two brothers have already released their previous suspicions?! If it weren't for the fact that he clearly recognized that the secret letter was indeed from Wei Shuo's hand, and Wei Shuo's calligraphy attainments were unsurpassed in the world, he would have suspected that the king of Xiangyang had forged the secret letter to open the city gate!
That's it! Whatever he is! Today's Jingzhou army's offensive has become even more frenzied. Luoyang City was broken one day earlier and one day later, and Zhao Wanglun also made up his mind to flee with the emperor. It's just, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it! Zhao Wanglun, who seems to be omnipotent and occupies the right time and place, will come to this point! was first set up by Sima Ting, and Luoyang City was occupied, causing his whole family to be taken captive by Sima Ting and taken to Guanzhong as hostages. Now he is cornered by Sima Fan again! In the Zhao Palace, just now, several unstoppable leaders of Qing Xuanzong were arguing over where to withdraw their troops. Hey, these people's martial arts are at the pinnacle, and they are also experts in conspiracies. But he doesn't know anything about this, the only Sun Xiu is still a general, but it's a pity that he encounters a tough opponent like the Jingzhou Army, and he is powerless!
"Knock knock!"
On the city wall of Luoyang in the distance, there were suddenly bursts of urgent war drums, and the fire outside the city suddenly soared into the sky, and the killing shouts that resounded throughout the world sounded like mountains and seas. Wei Qi's face changed greatly, knowing that it was the Jingzhou army that had begun to attack the city again!!
"Whew" A strong wind blew, and Zhao Wanglun appeared at the gate of the mansion in an instant, looking at the fire rising into the sky in the distance, with a shocked face. Immediately followed by two "whirring" sounds, Hongren took Sun Xiu, and Guo Xiang pulled Gao Lishi to appear in front of Wei Qi's eyes.
Sun Xiu stared at the sky that was almost dyed red in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the Jingzhou army is attacking the city at night!" Are the Jingzhou troops crazy today! Master Hongren, Daoist Guo Xiang, General Wei Qi! Hurry back to your respective walls to defend the city! Gao Gonggong! Please go and help guard the western section of the city wall first! Just go! ”
Hong Ren, Guo Xiang, and Gao Lishi all nodded solemnly, and unfolded their rapid body methods to sweep into the distance. Wei Qi arched his hand at Zhao Wanglun, and hurriedly took the reins from his own soldiers, and the horse disappeared into the darkness of the street.
Wei Qi glanced back at Zhao Wanglun, who was still standing at the gate of the mansion, a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said secretly: Lord Zhao. Hey, I'm sorry. Chu Wangwei's two sons, there really is no fuel-efficient lamp! Anyway, Luoyang City can't hold it. I, Wei Qi, went to open the city gate and put tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops outside Luoyang City who wanted to enter Luoyang City and wanted to go crazy into Luoyang City. Lord Zhao, you can ask for more blessings! I seem to understand why Sima Ting wants to help Sima Fan. In this chaotic situation, even if Zhao Wanglun is an enemy of 10,000 people, how many subordinates can you take away? I'm afraid that except for Guo Xianghong and the two of them, no one in Qing Xuanzong will be able to get out of Luoyang City alive! Two brothers, this is going to push you to a dead end! I'm going to go first.
