Chapter 400: The Final Decision

An army of 100,000 gathered under the city, although the Qilin Legion is mainly a naval division, but walking on the land, it is also neat and tidy, worthy of the name of elite soldiers.

A carriage slowly galloped out of Cangzhou City and headed towards the endless military camp for dozens of miles.

Around the carriage, there were more than 100 elite soldiers on horseback, all of them were fully armed, and their eyes were full of essence, and they obviously all had good cultivation.

In the south, in the barracks, a pair of elite soldiers were also met.

The first person, around fifty, with a calm and indifferent face, looking at his appearance, he is almost a white-faced scholar.

However, behind him, there were more than 100 elite cavalry soldiers, and their eyes were full of reverence when they looked at the scholar, which was from the heart, and there was absolutely no fraud in the slightest.

This person is the only royal relative among the five major legions of the Han Dynasty, Tan Hongda, the commander of the Qilin Legion.

His gaze was deep and unfathomable, but his face was full of eager smiles.

The carriage finally stopped, and the curtain was lifted, revealing the old face of Lu Ding.

"Uncle Ding is well." Tan Hongda gave a formal salute and said respectfully.

"Alas......" Lu Dingsheng sighed and said, "I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and you have also achieved a career, and you are ...... I'm getting older. ”

The old man's tone was a little embarrassed, which contained a kind of helplessness that had gone through vicissitudes.

Tan Hongda's face darkened, and he said: "Yes, Uncle Ding, it has been more than ten years since I said goodbye, but the changes in the past few years are too great." ”

After being silent for a while, Lu Dingsheng suddenly asked, "What are you looking for the old man for?" ”

"It's not the little nephew, but His Royal Highness wants to meet the loyal and righteous Dingtian General back then." Tan Hongda suddenly said loudly.

"General Dingtian?" With a muttering groan, Lu Dingsheng's gaze gradually became confused.

Under Tan Hongda's command, the carriage galloped smoothly into the camp.

Lu Dingsheng raised his eyes, but the corners of his eyes jumped, and his gaze was fixed on one person.

The man was dressed in an imperial robe, and the robe was embroidered with a four-clawed dragon, and it was His Royal Highness Liu Zhengqi, the last prince of the Han Dynasty.

He took a few steps forward, looked at Lu Dingsheng deeply, and said, "The old general is far away, and he is rude." ”

Lu Dingsheng stood up slowly, and his slightly old body was a little rickety at this time.

His eyes kept staring at Liu Zhengqi's face, where there was some nostalgia, some surprise, and even more sadness and helplessness.

"Your Royal Highness is really similar to the first emperor...... the old general seemed to be talking to himself.

"Huh?" Liu Zhengqi was stunned, but he still smiled politely, but in his heart, he was more and more surprised.

Is this old man really old and confused? Among his father's many children, he was the least like him in terms of appearance.

However, at this time, he had a request for others, and naturally he didn't want anything extraneous to happen, so he didn't look at it with a quiet face, and no one saw anything wrong.

It's just that Lu Dingsheng's vision is so sophisticated, he has already seen what Liu Zhengqi is thinking at a glance, and he can't help but sigh: "The veteran is not His Majesty Emperor Xian, but His Majesty Emperor Hui." ”

Everyone around him was stunned, it turned out that what this old man said was not Emperor Han Xian, but the father of Emperor Han Xian, the supreme Han Hui Emperor of the previous generation.

"Sixty years ago......" Lu Dingsheng's voice also carried a vicissitudes of life, and he said softly: "Lu Dingsheng back then was just an unknown disciple of a declining family in the northwest. After joining the army, it coincided with the rebellion of the Southern Barbarians, and he went out with the army and made many military exploits. Just ......"

He smiled, and his voice became deeper and lower: "It's just that if you offend your boss, not only do you have no merit, but you will be accused of being cowardly and afraid of moving forward, and you will be beheaded in public." Fortunately, the brothers under the old man's command fought righteousness and stabbed this unjust case directly into the sky. ”

The old general's gaze once again stared at Liu Zhengqi's face, and said: "Emperor Hui, the old man, was furious, personally presided over the case, and finally got the old man to be innocent. These are all thanks to Emperor Hui's grace. ”

Tan Hongda and Liu Zhengqi glanced at each other, a hint of joy flashed in their eyes at the same time, Tan Hongda suddenly smiled and said: "Uncle Ding, I didn't expect you to have such a relationship with Emperor Huixian." ”

Lu Dingsheng was suddenly taken aback, and said with a wry smile: "When you get old, when you see something, you can't help but have a few more words." ”

Tan Hongda smiled and was about to persuade.

But he saw the old man wave his hand and asked, "Hongda, you want the old man to come, what is the matter?" ”

Tan Hongda smiled and said, "You are tired, why don't you please go into the tent and rest for a while." ”

Lu Dingsheng's eyes suddenly flashed a glimmer of clarity, and he sighed: "Hongda, there are some things, you don't say that I know." ”

Tan Hongda was startled, looked up at the old face, and seemed to have seen some decision from it.

"You ......"

"Give me a drink."

Although Tan Hongda didn't know why, he still handed over a glass as he said.

Lu Dingsheng drank it all, sighed, shook his head, and said, "Hongda, believe me, you are not Jiang Kongming's opponent. ”

"Uncle Ding." Tan Hongda's tone was also firm: "How can a chaotic minister and a thief steal the dynasty forever." ”

"Rebellious ministers and thieves? However, this world is fought by them. ”

"Uncle Ding, since ancient times, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, if it is only based on military exploits, the Han Dynasty has been established for hundreds of years, and it may not be the first person in this person."

Lu Dingsheng smiled slightly and said, "It's like, is it like Brother Dong Zirui Dong in the past?" ”

Liu Zhengqi and Tan Hongda's faces changed suddenly, Dong Zirui, what kind of person this is, others may not know, but they have no reason.

"Are you old?"

Lu Dingsheng suddenly took a step back, and there was a hint of determination in his voice: "Hongda, Your Highness, if you can listen to the old man's words, let's go back to the south, within a few years, Xu Haifeng and Jiang Kongming will definitely not be able to go south." ”

With that, he glanced at the crowd, turned and left.

Liu Zhengqi's face suddenly became extremely embarrassed, he bit his lower lip tightly, and said, "Old general, are you worthy of the first emperor?" ”

Lu Dingsheng's footsteps suddenly stopped, and said: "Yes, the old man is sorry for the first emperor, but the old man is worthy of all the Han people." ”

Liu Zhengqi's hand slowly pressed on the handle of the sword at his waist, and there was a murderous intent in his eyes. It's just that a big hand blocked him, and at the same time, Tan Hongda's voice came softly: "Don't ......"

The simple carriage slowly galloped into Cangzhou City, where Zhang Jinzhong and Xu Lihu had been waiting for a long time.

"Old General." Xu Lihu shouted loudly, but he immediately realized that something was wrong, and there was a sudden sound of heavy breathing in the car, so fast, it was not ordinary.

The knights guarding the carriage looked at each other, and one of them boldly lifted the curtain of the carriage.

Lu Dingsheng was lying on his side in the carriage, and there were faint wisps of blood flowing from his mouth and nose.

"Old General......

Dozens of people shouted at the same time, their voices filled with panic.

"Wine ...... Poison in wine. Lu Dingsheng gasped and said bitterly.

"Ah......" The guards around him suddenly cried and scolded loudly, the wine was poisonous, Tan Hongda and the others had already premeditated.

"How can this be, really...... Incredible.. Xu Lihu roared, turned around and left, and after a while, the sound of the horn in the city sounded loudly, which was the order of the army to gather.

Zhang Jin was shocked, knowing that except for this favored Xu Lihu, no one felt that he had crossed it so much. He was about to go to stop him, but he saw Lu Dingsheng raising his hand and calling him with difficulty.

He immediately flew into the carriage, but saw Lu Dingsheng's gaze glance out slightly. Zhang Jinzhong's eyebrows twitched, and he said, "I have something to say to the old general, you retreat." ”

Including those guards at the peak of Lu Dingsheng, at this time, when the six gods were without masters, they immediately retreated when they heard this, leaving a large open space.

Zhang Jinzhong leaned down and whispered to General Liu, "Why are you doing this? ”

The corners of Lu Dingsheng's mouth were full of bitter smiles: "Because, I don't want to be a sinner of the Lu family." ”

"What?"

"Jiang Kongming......"

Zhang Jinzhong was stunned, what does this have to do with Jiang Kongming.

"The Liu family's qi has been exhausted, although the lord is merciful, but Jiang Kongming is by no means a good person, the danger of Cangzhou must be resolved before their army returns." The old general's speech suddenly became sharp, and his eyes were full of helplessness: "Commander Zhang, after this battle, you should have retreated earlier." ”

Zhang Jinzhong's body was shocked, and he was speechless for a while.

"Our time has passed." Lu Dingsheng laughed miserably, his voice became lower and lower, and in the end, he was a little choked.

Zhang Jinzhong slowly stood up, his heart full of mixed feelings.

The great general of Dingtian, who used to be powerful in the world, has now learned such a despicable method. He was forced to be helpless, so next, whose turn was it?

A chill surged in Zhang Jinzhong's heart, the principals of the four major legions, except for himself, had changed hands several times, so what about him?

He suddenly understood the meaning of the old general's words, whether he wanted to or not, he had to make a choice for himself, or rather, his career had come to an end.

"General......

The sound of mournful screams came from all around him, and the soldiers at the peak of the road surrounded the carriage and screamed sadly.

"Ask the best doctor in the city to treat the old general's poison, and tell them that if anything happens to the old general, this general will punish him and the other nine clans." Zhang Jinzhong said sternly.

"Yes......" promised, and naturally someone left quickly.

"General, what should I do?"

An adjutant general stepped forward and said a word beside him.

"Inform the whole army." Zhang Jinzhong coldly ordered: "Three days later, it will be the time for us to fight to the death with Liu Zhengqi." ”
