In the palace of the general of Shangluo Zuowei, Wang Yu, the general of the palace who had replaced the dead Sima Ya not long after taking office, was walking anxiously around in the study. As one of Shen Xiu's henchmen, he had just returned from Shen Xiu's mansion. Unlike in the past, when he came back with a lot of fighting spirit and hope, the outcome of this meeting made his heart a mess.

Wang Yu is a person from Chen Liu, and he is also from a poor family, and he is also a student of Hongdu College. On the day that King Zhao and Shen Xiu raised troops to abolish Jia, he made meritorious contributions and went to Wanchun Gate with Zhang Bu. It's just that when he heard that Zhang Bu wanted to snatch the city gate with them, he hesitated, and he didn't stand on Zhang Bu's side at the first time, until Zhang Bu cut off the head of Senior Brother Liu, who led the way to stand up against him, Wang Yu had to join Zhang Bu's team with everyone.

Afterwards, he was glad that he had a little more attention at that time, and he didn't stand up directly like Senior Brother Liu, not only was his head cut off, but he couldn't get promoted and get rich.

He had a bad relationship with Zhang Bu in the first place, and since he entered Hongdu Academy, he has always disliked this domineering Senior Brother Zhang. He is not close to Zhang Bu, and Zhang Bu, who is proud of the spring breeze, is naturally not close to him. The reason why he was later promoted by Shen Xiu to the dignified palace general was because when the Huainan King Huangfu Yun attacked the palace that day, he was extremely positive and brave, and he did his best to maintain the core hub responsible for the palace wall rune array. Shen Xiu saw all this in his eyes, and afterwards promoted him to be a very important lieutenant general in this position.

Just when he felt that his life had never been so good, first the news of the defeat and death of the general Shen Fubing of the Shangjun came, and then the news of the defeat of the general Shiyi came, which made his heart feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"It's over, Huang Fulun and Shen Xiu are finished. This was Wang Yu's first reaction after getting these two news.

Shen Xiu was already trying his best to hide these two extremely unfavorable news for himself, but how could this kind of thing be hidden from everyone in Shangluo. Not to mention that they had opposed Huang Fu Lun and Shen Xiu before, it was that many people who had stood on the side of Huang Fu Lun and Shen Xiu had been constantly inquiring about each other for the past few days, and there was an indescribable look in everyone's eyes.

Including him, he turned a blind eye to this kind of thing. Wang Yu believes that the current Shangluo is not 100 percent, at least about ninety percent of the people have already sentenced Huang Fulun and Shen Xiu to death in their hearts.

The key is, what can I do to save my little life?

At the meeting just now, some people suggested moving the capital to Chang'an, and some people suggested that while the Tiger Prison Pass and others were still in their hands, they fled east to the sea, and in the end, Shen Xiu made a decision to forcibly recruit all male monks over the age of fifteen from Shangluo and even Sili to join the army, and then organize a large army to go to the front. Wang Yu could imagine what Shangluo would be like after this order was issued tomorrow.

"My lord, Song Shilang is here to visit. The butler knocked on the door and came in, took a greeting note, and said in a respectful voice.

"Hmph, I'm afraid this Song Yi came here to inquire about some news. Wang Yu thought in his heart, but said: "Hurry up and let someone prepare tea, and I will personally go to the door to greet me." ”

Song Yi is also one of the students of Hongdu Academy who went to Wanchunmen with Zhang Bu, he is Zhang Bu's hardcore friend, Wang Yu does not dare to slack off.

"Brother Song, what kind of wind is blowing you to me today, hurry up inside, please. Wang Yu came to the door and immediately welcomed him warmly.

"You and I are classmates, can't we come and see you?" Song Yi said with a smile as he walked inside.

"Cut, in the past, you either ran to Shen Xiu or Zhang Bu every day, and you can't look down on me here. Wang Yu said in his heart, and the smile on his face became more enthusiastic: "I am naturally very happy that my old classmates are here." ”

He looked at Song Yi followed closely behind a man who couldn't see his face clearly with his head buttoned in his coat and hat, and he was puzzled in his heart, and continued to ask, "Who is this entourage Brother Song?" ”

When the entourage heard this, he laughed, then raised his head and said to Wang Yu: "Why, my old classmate is visiting, General Wang, do you welcome it or not?"

Wang Yu looked fixedly, but it was not who Chen Rong, the head of the three heroes of Hongdu, was!

For a while, Wang Yu's face was cloudy, and his hand subconsciously pressed on the hilt of the sword on his waist, and his heart was even more warlike.

The feud between Chen Rong and Shen Xiu is a well-known thing in Hongdu Academy. Since beating Shen Xiu and abolishing Jia, Chen Rong has disappeared. Some of the classmates who stayed in Shangluo in Hongdu College said that Chen Rong had returned to his hometown, and some said that Chen Rong had defected to King Qi, but Wang Yu never thought that Chen Rong would find his door.

"Hahahaha," he suddenly laughed: "I said that my left eyelid always jumped just now, it turned out that Brother Chen was coming." Brother Chen, you are not interesting enough, in the past, in Hongdu Academy, the relationship between me and Brother Chen was much closer than that of Song Yi. If there is anything, you come to me directly, why do you need to go through Song Yi. ”

After the three of them laughed and entered the study to sit down as the guest of honor, Wang Yu waved his hand and asked the people to retreat, and then said with a solemn face: "I don't know why Brother Chen came here today?

"I'm not here for anyone else," Chen Rong took a sip of hot tea and said with a smile: "It's for you Wang Yu to come." ”

"Coming for me?" Wang Yu couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

"Wang Yu, let's have a classmate, and I won't go around the corner. Although he was facing Wang Yu, the general of the palace who was holding a strong army, Chen Rong did not have any nervousness or fear and said: "The current situation is clear in your hearts, the defeat of Huang Fulun and Shen Xiu has been decided, why do you want to go all the way to the dark?"

"Hmph," although Wang Yu thought so in his heart, he still said strongly: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers. It's only been two defeats, and maybe another good news will be sent back in a few days. Besides, Hejian Wangye, the general of Yongliang's expedition to the west, has sent 70,000 elites of the western army to help, and the soldiers have passed the Hangu Pass and will arrive in Shangluo in less than two days. With these 70,000 elites, plus Shangluo troops, who wins and who loses is still between the two. It's too early for Brother Chen to conclude that he will be defeated. ”

"It seems that our Dean Shen still has something to hide from Wang Yu. Chen Rong's voice was not loud, but it was like thunder in Wang Yu's ears, "After receiving the news of Shen Fu's suicide and Shiyi's defeat, King Hejian urgently ordered his henchmen to chase after the army overnight, that is, outside Hangu Pass, the Western Army had changed the banner of assisting Huang Fu Lun to crusade against Huang Fu Lun. ”

"What?" Wang Yu was shocked when he heard Chen Rong's words. He has been hesitant because there is still a glimmer of hope for the Western Army, and now there is no hope at all.

He knew in his heart that Chen Rong's words were not lies. Anyone else, after getting the news of the defeat of the leading army, has to rethink whether this should choose to change sides. Even if the king of Hejian Huang Fu Hao personally wanted to support Huang Fu Lun, he could recruit so many subordinates in the Western Mansion, how could he be blinded by lard and let the king of Hejian choose Huang Fu Lun, the weak side?

He sighed and closed his eyes. After a long time, he opened his eyes and looked at Chen Rong and said, "Brother Chen, brother, my qualifications are dull, and I hope that Brother Chen can show my brother a clear way?"

"The road has to be carved out by yourself. Chen Rong's face straightened, and he said solemnly: "I heard that Shen Xiu is going to forcibly recruit all male monks over the age of fifteen in Shangluo into the army, isn't it?"

"Indeed, this command will be given early tomorrow morning. ”

"Okay, it seems that our Dean Shen has gone mad, and he dares to do this kind of thing that offends all the people of Shangluo. Chen Rong smiled: "Tomorrow I will take the opportunity to make trouble in Shangluo, Wang Yu, I think you will know what you should do then?"

Wang Yu pondered for a moment, and finally stood up violently with a gritted tooth, stretched out his right palm, and hit Chen Rong's right palm three times in a row, who also stood up.

"Brother Chen, as long as you can create a big mess in Shangluo tomorrow, I will lead the tiger in the palace to take down Shen Xiu and Huangfu Lun. If you violate this oath, you will be willing to be thundered by the sky. ”
