Zhang Ling, that is, the Captain Zhang Advent that Ye Chenchu met when he came out of Lotus Mountain, when he attacked Guo Zitong, he contacted Zhang Ling, united all the Advent in the Chu army to defect together, and defeated Guo Zitong at the lowest cost.

After defeating Guo Zitong, Ye Chen only rested for half a month, reintegrated the soldiers and horses under his command, plus Zhang Ling's command, a total of 80,000 troops were drawn up, along the Yangtze River, preparing to attack all the way to Xiangyang, and then go north to attack Wang Shichong and Li Yuan's two divisions, as long as these two divisions are defeated, the entire Central Plains will be unified, even if he is not there, with Yang Guang's ability to slowly develop for a period of time, it is not difficult to reunify the world.

It's just that the plan didn't change quickly, or he first destroyed Wagang, then Du Fuwei, and Guo Zitong in just a few months, which shook the whole world and frightened other forces.

Just as he was about to march and set off, an urgent message disrupted his plans.

Sitting at the head of the camp, he held a holy decree in his hand and looked at it, and there was a dusty eunuch standing below, after looking at it for a while, he put down the holy decree and asked:

"When did you leave?"

The eunuch wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly replied:

"The old slave set out from the capital eight days ago, and he didn't dare to slack off all the way, and he ran and killed five fast horses one after another before he arrived at the general."

"Hmm!"

Ye Chen rubbed his forehead and said:

"It seems that it is still too late, with the city defense of the capital and the support of the Demon Gate Xizong, it should be no problem to persist for a month!"

Speaking of this, he raised his eyebrows, and Hong Sheng said:

"Lonely Battle!"

"The last general!"

"Order to take 30,000 troops to defend Hangzhou until a new order arrives."

"The last general commands!"

Ye Chen nodded, his gaze swept over the other generals present, and said in a deep voice:

"The others prepare, immediately bury the pot and cook, and prepare to set off in an hour and return to Luoyang!"

"Whoa!"

The eunuch brought Yang Guang's holy decree was not a matter of seizing power, but protecting the holy decree, because he destroyed three forces in a row in just a few months, causing panic among other forces, Li Yuan and Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande and other forces united to attack Luoyang, and now they have surrounded Luoyang for more than ten days.

This is not a good thing for Ye Chen, among the remaining big forces in the world, Li Yuan, Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande are the most powerful, and now the main forces are gathered under Luoyang City, as long as they can defeat them in Luoyang, pacifying the world is just around the corner.

But this premise is that Luoyang City can hold out until he leads the army back, leaving 30,000 led by Dugu Zhan, and he personally leads the 50,000 army to return to the court, with the speed of the army, I am afraid that it will take a month to rush back to Luoyang, and if there is an army on the road, the speed will be slower.

So Ye Chen thought about it for a while, and decided that the army would rush behind, and he would take a team of personal soldiers to take a shortcut and rush back first.

There is a distance of thousands of miles from Hangzhou to Luoyang, even if he takes a shortcut and rides all the way non-stop, it will take at least eight or nine days to arrive, just two days after departure, he met the second group of envoys halfway, with Yang Guang's urgent holy decree, urging him to return to Beijing quickly.

Ye Chen immediately left his own soldiers, crossed the mountains alone, and rushed to Luoyang in a straight line.

In just two days, the holy decree was issued, and it was obvious that Luoyang City was very dangerous, and when he arrived in Luoyang seven or eight days later, it was estimated that the daylilies were cold.

And he was on his own, and it didn't take him more than a few days around the clock.

Finally, at noon on the fifth day, Luoyang City, which was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops, appeared in front of him, he just looked at the dense army, and then turned around and touched a nameless ruined temple a few miles away from Luoyang City, where one of the exits of Yang Gong's treasure house was located.

Luoyang City, in the palace, Qingxinwan, Sui Emperor Yang Guangzheng and the queen enjoyed the flowers in Qingxinwan, but neither of them was in the mood to appreciate the flowers, and the queen said worriedly:

"Your Majesty, I heard some people say that the general has bad intentions and wants to be self-reliant, and he is unwilling to wave his army back to the court to save the driver?"

Yang Guang looked at the lotus flowers in the pond in front of him with his hands behind his back, and said confidently:

"That's someone spreading rumors, and I believe that the general will return to the court as soon as he receives the holy decree."

The queen said:

"But even if the general returns to the dynasty immediately, it will take at least half a month to arrive at the speed of the army, and at that time..."

Yang Guang glanced back at the queen and said with a smile:

"The queen doesn't have to worry, Kyoto has a lot of soldiers and food, the city is strong, and it will not be a problem to hold it for half a year, and it will definitely be able to wait until the big one..."

He had just said this, when suddenly a voice interrupted him, saying:

"Your Majesty is really optimistic, but the poor monk doesn't think that Luoyang City can hold until that time."

The expression on Yang Guang's face changed, and he snorted:

"Who is sneaky!"

A eunuch behind him immediately rushed to Yang Guang and shouted:

"Someone's coming, escort!"

As soon as the words fell, a large number of forbidden troops immediately poured out of Qingxin Garden, surrounding Yang Guang tightly, and everyone was waiting to see a bald monk walk out after watching a row of bamboo forests on the edge of the wall of Qingxin Garden.

"The Heavenly Absolute Monk has no thoughts!"

Yang Guang's pupils shrank, shrank again, and after seeing the bamboo forest, he walked out again, grabbed the queen's hand and tightened it violently:

"Fan Qinghui?"

After a pause, his voice was dry and he spit out two more names:

"Concubine Xuan, Ning Daoqi!"

At this moment, an old eunuch behind Yang Guang suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Yang Guang and fled, and another eunuch pointed at the four great grandmasters and shouted:

"Block them!"

"Bang!"

A loud bang came, and the old eunuch fled to the arch of Qingxinyuan about ten meters in advance, when suddenly a rockery not far from the door exploded, and a pumpkin hammer about the size of a table flew out and smashed at Yang Guang, and the old eunuch threw Yang Guang at the gate and shouted:

"Protect Your Majesty!"

He pushed out with both palms together, and the surging internal force was agitated, and this old eunuch turned out to be a grandmaster.

But the power contained in the pumpkin giant hammer was too strong, as soon as the two palms touched, in the loud sound that shook the sky, the old eunuch spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person flew upside down several meters away, and his body twisted in mid-air and flew towards Yang Guang, where I don't know when a man with white hair appeared and was extremely evil, and his palms waved hundreds of palms to kill all the forbidden troops at the gate of Qingxin Garden, and reached out to grab Yang Guang.

"Evil King Stone Xuan!"

An indescribable fear flashed in the old eunuch's eyes, but he still pounced without hesitation, and flew upside down at a faster speed to knock a rockery several meters high, struggling to get up and crying with a sad face:

"Your Majesty, the old slave can't save you..."

As soon as the voice fell, he lost his last breath.

Shi Zhixuan swept away the forbidden army that rushed up with a wave of his sleeves, and threw Yang Guang back into Qingxin Garden in his hand, Yang Guang got up a little embarrassed and looked left and right, and said with a wry smile:

"I didn't expect to bother the six great grandmasters to shoot at the same time, and I have no regrets if I die, but it's a pity that the general is not here, otherwise he will definitely be very excited to fight with you."
