"Kill!!"

As soon as the cannonfire stopped, there was an overwhelming shout of killing all around, followed by dense gunfire and the screams of the soldiers of the forbidden army, as if a large number of men and horses were pouring in from the mouth of the alley, and the forbidden army was defeated and retreated in a moment.

"The rebels surrender, otherwise there will be no mercy!"

"The rebel army surrenders, otherwise there will be no mercy for killing!!"

I don't know who shouted, and immediately some soldiers followed and shouted, and the shouts were overwhelming.

Li Kuang got up and cautiously poked his head out of the wall to take a look, he was startled, and hurriedly returned to Xu Rui's side and said, "It's Apocalypse, you have already made arrangements?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the battle outside the door was nearing the end, and the Apocalypse guards who came to the aid killed the forbidden army at the door, rushed into the alley, and protected the gate of the front yard of Liu's mansion.

"The last general, Zhang Zuofeng, welcomes the marshal back to the camp!"

"Welcome back to the camp!"

Zhang Zuofeng's voice came from outside the gate, followed by the high-pitched shouts of the soldiers.

Xu Rui was slightly shocked, sighed and said: "Originally, it was a last resort, and I would never use it unless I had to, but I didn't expect it to come to this point." ”

Li Kuang suddenly said when he heard this: "Zhang Zuofeng is Xiao Jinwu's protégé, since the first emperor is monitoring the Apocalypse Guard through Xiao Jinwu, then only he can become a special case and a breakthrough, so you arranged for him to help you regain the military power of the Apocalypse Guard?" ”

Xu Rui smiled bitterly: "You are half right, when I sent 3,000 men and horses from the Apocalypse Guard to stay in the city, I was worried that there would be a big chaos in Changxing City, and it would be difficult for the Apocalypse Guard camp outside the city to rush to help.

Arranged for Zhang Zuofeng to stay in the city, it was indeed because Xiao Jinwu would open up to him, plus once Changxing City was in chaos, the people in charge of monitoring would definitely be transferred elsewhere, and the Tianqiwei in the city would be completely free.

It's just that you also know that Zhang Zuofeng, like Xiao Jinwu, is loyal to Dawei, and is willing to violate his principles, and it is still between two sides to cooperate with me, a 'chaotic minister and thief', to regain military power. ”

"So you let Zhang Zuofeng choose by himself?"

Li Kuang asked in surprise.

Such a fatal thing, if someone else is replaced, I am afraid that I will only want to send my most confidant, but Xu Rui did the opposite, knowing that Zhang Zuofeng might have problems, but still let him stay in the city as his last way back, how could this not surprise Li Kuang?

Xu Rui said with a smile: "People always have to choose, only after passing this level can Zuo Feng really untie the shackles of Xiao Jinwu on his neck and understand what is really what should be insisted on." ”

Saying that, Xu Rui said worriedly: "Although Zhang Zuofeng has made a choice right now, I am still unknown, but I am afraid that this road will still be difficult." ”

"How could Master Hou be nameless, have you forgotten that holy decree?"

Hearing this, Zhengyu on the side hurriedly took out the holy decree he had prepared before and handed it to Xu Rui and said: "Master Hou, although this holy decree was issued by King Yu, it was drafted by the cabinet of Zheng'er Bajing, approved by the celebrant and the celebrant supervisor, and the holy decree with the big seal has been restored, and your military power has been restored!" ”

"Oh?"

Xu Rui was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took the holy decree from Zhengyu's hand, and looked at it carefully, just now he had been worried about the situation, and he actually missed this most important part.

"Governor of the Northwest?"

However, when Xu Rui saw that the holy decree had named him the governor of the northwest, he frowned and looked at Zhengyu in dismay.

A hint of weakness flashed on Zhengyu's face, and he said in a low voice: "It was added by the slave maid who was good at making an advocacy, and the slave maid heard that Gonggong Cao said that the northwest is the backing of the Hou Ye, but because of this, many people in the DPRK attacked the Hou Ye in the northwest.

Now with this holy decree, Hou Ye is the rightful governor of the northwest of my Great Wei, and no one can find fault, so that Hou Ye can effectively turn the tide and save the strength of Great Wei! ”

Xu Rui was angry and funny when he heard this, and sighed: "Sure enough, I responded to the words of the yellow robe, and it was said that Zhao Kuangyin's resignation from the throne was a hypocritical performance, but now I feel his helplessness a little." ”

The reason why I say this is because the governor of the northwest is the emperor who oversees the military, political and diplomatic power of a large area of the northwest territory, as if he has already been a vassal king, and his strength is enough to threaten the imperial court, and the Great Wei has never had such a position in history.

This is clearly a stupid move to allow the courtiers to divide the territory and divide the land, even if King Su becomes the emperor, it is impossible to tolerate Xu Rui holding such a big title, so that the history books angrily reprimanded him for what the emperor did.

For Xu Rui, the so-called governor of the northwest is simply a talisman, after seeing these words, Xu Rui has only two choices, either rebel, or wash his neck, and wait to be exterminated by the imperial court.

When the holy decree left the palace, Huang Zhengyuan must have carefully checked it, he didn't say it at the beginning, I am afraid that he had already thought that once the assassination and encirclement and suppression failed, he used this northwest governor to ask for Xu Rui's life!

Because this governor of the northwest completely cut off the possibility of King Yu and Xu Rui joining forces.

Even if King Yu misses the old relationship, or appreciates Xu Rui's ability and talent, as long as Xu Rui holds these four words, it is impossible for King Yu to leave his life after sitting on the throne no matter what, and there is no possibility of compromise between the two.

Zhengyu is young in the end, and his mind is still too simple, thinking that the higher the status, the greater the capital in Xu Rui's hands, but he doesn't know that he did bad things with good intentions, and really forced Xu Rui into a desperate situation.

"Huh?"

Li Kuang and Zhengyu naturally didn't know the allusion of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's "yellow robe", and looked at each other.

Xu Rui did not explain, but fell into deep thought.

Thinking about it, now Changxing is out of control, and it has suddenly become a melee of heroes, the development of the situation has exceeded expectations, the northwest has indeed become the biggest capital in Xu Rui's hands, which is enough to leverage the future capital of Dawei!

No one thought that Yuan Zixiong's development of the northwest and Zhengyu's gift to Xu Rui, the governor of the northwest, would make him one day truly justifiably become the emperor of the territory.

Xu Rui suddenly found that with the addition of the Northwest and this holy decree, he had become the party with the greatest advantage in this scuffle, so that many things that he didn't dare to do, couldn't do, couldn't do, and couldn't let go of his hands and feet in the past became possible.

Thinking of this, Xu Rui finally let out a long sigh.

As the saying goes, the wind and clouds are surging, time is not waiting, sometimes being a hero also needs some luck, if you don't do it, maybe you will suffer from it!

"Open the door!"

Now that things have come to this point, it is useless to hesitate any longer, the last bit of hesitation in Xu Rui's heart finally disappeared, and he shouted loudly.

Several personal soldiers immediately rushed forward and opened the gate of Liu's Mansion, which had already been beaten to tatters by submachine guns.

Xu Rui glanced at Li Kuanghe Zhengyu, and said proudly: "As you wish, I took this big hat that no one in the world dares to take, and from now on, the rise and fall of the world will depend on us!" ”

With that, he strode out.

Zhengyu didn't know the key, and his face was inexplicable.

But Li Kuang had already figured out the inside story, and an irrepressible look of ecstasy suddenly appeared on his face, and he quickly stood up and chased after Xu Rui.

Outside the gate of Liu's Mansion, the guards of the Apocalypse lined up neatly, and Zhang Zuofeng rode a war horse and stood high in the middle.

As soon as he saw Xu Rui going out, Zhang Zuofeng immediately dismounted and knelt on one knee, and the soldiers also knelt down with him.

"The last general, Zhang Zuofeng, welcomes the marshal back to the camp!"

"Welcome back to the camp!"

Countless sounds converged neatly together, forming a tsunami-like sound wave, which shocked people's hearts.

Xu Rui took the reins handed by his own soldiers, turned over and stepped on the war horse, and said loudly: "The first emperor collapsed, the national disaster is at the head, sons, follow me out of the city!" ”

After saying that, Xu Rui hit the horse hard, and the war horse suddenly galloped out.

The army immediately rushed away like a sharp arrow shot with Xu Rui.

"Out of town? Didn't you go to the palace? ”

Zhang Zuofeng came back to his senses and muttered to himself in surprise.

Li Kuang, who walked in front of him, hurriedly pulled him up: "The Holy Lord and King Su are dead, there is no need to go to the palace, let's go, let's talk on the road!" ”

"What did you say?"

Zhang Zuofeng was shocked when he heard this, and was pulled on the horse by Li Kuang, and also chased Xu Rui.
