Luoyang City is like a chessboard, and the chess pieces are arranged on the chessboard to fight back and forth. This game of chess is a bet on who is in charge, and the two sides of the game are Sima Yun, the king of Huainan and Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, and the two of them are fighting for life and death in black and white on this chessboard.

Luoyang City has a population of one million, but most people are not qualified to sit at the gambling table to bet on who belongs in this world, but are swept up by the tide and reduced to a chess piece and drift with the tide, life does not know what it is born and death does not know what it is going to die for. Of course, there are also some people who take the initiative to become chess pieces to fight for a bright future.

When the order of the King of Huainan reached the Tiger Ben army, the reaction of the three Hu Ben armies varied. Hu Ben Zhongjun was discussing in the council hall, and when he heard that the King of Huainan raised troops on the side of the Qing Jun, Hu Ben Zhonglang would be afraid of Zao Yi's case, he drew his sword in his hand, looked around and shouted angrily: "The old thief Sima Lun is plotting to usurp the throne, and we should obey the King of Huainan to crusade against the traitors!" ”

Most of the generals of the Chinese army have gathered here, and last night Zao Yi first secretly ordered his henchmen to come here early this morning, and then convened other generals in the name of the military council this morning, and now what this military council is discussing is finally revealed.

Jun Sima slandered in his heart: "I feel that General Zao has long known that there is such a thing!" I said how to see a lot of 2,000 soldiers and horses in the camp today, and say that we need to proofread it, just cover our ears and eyes! But Zaoyi, you only have two hundred weapons! But I saw that one after another colleagues expressed their support for the Qing monarch, and finally it was my turn to be coerced into making a generous statement to swear to the death against the traitor Sima Lun.

One by one, the generals and colonels all expressed their stance to follow him, and the satisfied look on Zaoyi's face was fleeting, and he immediately began to deploy men and horses: "The whole army will follow me into the city, the arsenal is already in the hands of the King of Huainan, and we can get the weapons when we rush to the arsenal." We have the chance to win this battle! ”

The world is out of my generation, and the visitors from Huainan urge the war clouds! - The earth-shattering cry came from the camp of the Tiger Ben Army, and a group of soldiers shouted their trumpets and marched in the direction of the palace.

In the camp of the right army of Hu Ben, General Zhonglang Qifu silently watched Zaoyi lead his troops into battle, and his subordinates approached and asked, "General?" How do we act? This Kiro will sneer: "Wait and see." Zao Yi made up so many people at once, how could it not be prepared in advance? ”

In the camp of the left army of Huben, Zhang Xin, the general of Zhonglang, also summoned the generals, and he said to the generals: "Now the king of Huainan has raised an army to make a rebellion, but I expect that Sima Yun is not the opponent of Lord Xiangguo, and we will send troops to help Lord Xiangguo quell the rebellion." ”

The generals asked, "Dare to ask the general how we should act?" Our army now has only 200 soldiers and horses on duty. ”

Zhang Xintian laughed: "Hahaha! General Ben has always planned before acting! As he spoke, he pointed his finger at you! You! You! And you! Stay here and gather men, and when you fill a camp, you will pull me up. Then he pointed to the rest: "You! You! You two follow me to chase Zaoyi, let's pretend to be his accomplice first, and then give him a counterattack!" What do you think? Clever plan, good plan, hahaha! ”

The generals and colonels echoed and said: "General Zhang's clever calculations, high, really high!" "Subordinates are fortunate enough to follow the general to establish such immortal feats!" "General Zhang's wisdom makes me wait for admiration like the water of the Yellow River! ”

Zhang Lang listened to the flattery of his subordinates with satisfaction, and suddenly remembered something, so he said: "Remember to call them the military horn, what is called 'The world is out of my generation, and the visitors from Huainan urge the war clouds'." ”

Zhang Xin's Huben Left Army had only 200 people, and it was effortless to organize, and soon drove out of the camp to chase Zaoyi, and soon caught up with Zaoyi's department.

Seeing that the chase was approaching, Zhang Xin, the tiger benlang, would immediately order his subordinates to shout together - the world is out of my generation, and the visitors from Huainan urge Zhanyun!

His subordinates asked Zhang Xin: "General, let's kill it?" ”

Zhang Xin is taking the lead in shouting, "The world is out of my generation, and the visitors from Huainan are urging Zhanyun!" After shouting this, he said to his subordinates: "Ready, we are... Before he finished speaking, he heard a high shout behind him - the world is out of my generation, and the visitors from Huainan are urging Zhanyun!

Zhang Xin looked back, only to see a group of men and horses catching up from behind, seeing that the flag should be the Yulin Army, he secretly said: "Bitter! But he didn't dare to mention the sneak attack behind him, but while following Zaoyi's soldiers and horses, he shouted one after another, "The world is out of my generation, and the visitors from Huainan are urging Zhanyun!" ”

Yulin Zuo Zhonglang will order Hu Sheng to lead his troops to hurry, and thousands of people and horses in his department shouted, "The world is out of my generation, and the visitors from Huainan are urging Zhanyun!" Echoing with the front of the marching tiger army, the momentum soared into the sky, and the neighbors near and far were all shocked by the high spirit of a long marching team.

Ling Husheng said to his subordinates while leading his troops to march: "Look at the banner, the one in front should be the Zhang Xinsuo Department of the Huben Left Army, and the further one seems to be the banner of the Zaoyi Department of the Huben Central Army." The prince is far-sighted and the soldiers return to their hearts, it seems that we have won this game! ”

Ling Husheng recalled that the king of Huainan had acted for four months, and when the generals of the Northern Army attended the school weddings and funerals, and never been absent, even ordinary soldiers had received red envelopes from the king of Huainan to bring them to the people, and they invited themselves to a banquet with the dignity of the king of Huainan.

The envoy sent by King Huainan to the Yulin Army was Shi Xi of the third generation of the Gongshibao lineage of Leling County, and Shi Chong, the guard who entertained Gong Sheng and others in Jingu Garden, was his uncle. After saying that after moving the left army of Yulin led by Hu Sheng, Shi Xi went to visit the right army of Yulin non-stop.

However, after Shi Xi arrived at the garrison of the Yulin Right Army, he did not see the commander Sima Yu, and only one of them entertained him. This engaged person had a smile on his face and looked very kind, and he asked Shi Xi: "I don't know what is the important task of Shi joining the army to come to the Yulin Army?" ”

Shi Xi took out a piece of jade Jue and handed it to the practitioner and said: "Please transfer this matter to His Royal Highness King Fan Yang for me, I am also entrusted by others, as for the entrusted matter, the prince will naturally know when he sees it." ”

The Zhonglang of the Yulin Army didn't ask much, but just put away the Yu Jue handed over by Shi Xi and said, "Don't worry, I will transfer it to the prince." What do you call joining the army? If you have nothing to do, you might as well sit down with me, drink a cup of tea and then leave, and let me do my best to be a landlord. ”

Shi Xi smiled bitterly in his heart: "How can I have the strength to drink your tea!" The mouth was very polite: "Let's drink tea next time, I still have important things to do, it's really inconvenient, so I'll leave." ”

After Shi Xi left, a person turned out of the side door of the reception hall, and this person was the commander of the Yulin Army, Fan Yang Wang Sima Yu. Sima Yu stretched out his hand to take the jade jue sent by Shi Xi, played with it for a while and said, "Although the promised things are good, they must also have a life to enjoy them." ”

Engaged in respectful reminders: "Lord Wang, really stand by and watch? If the king of Huainan wins, I'm afraid it will be unfavorable to the prince? ”

Sima Yu smiled and replied, "Have I ever rejected the envoy of the King of Huainan?" I was just not in the camp for a while. When the winner is divided, of course, the king will be present. The king will be on the side of the winners, and it's too early to place your bets. ”

The prince's east palace, in the council hall of the left guard. The left guard of the East Palace led Chen Hui to fidget, and from time to time asked his subordinates to report the battle situation.

The guards were marching north to the battlefield with their bare hands, apparently intending to desperately support Sima Yun, the king of Huainan, all of which was seen by Chen Hui.

'If it goes on like this, if Sima Yun wins, he can't explain it! Chen Hui pondered the situation and the way to deal with it in his heart, and after a long time, he said to the left and right: "Now there are 1,200 soldiers and horses gathered, you take 1,000 people to the arsenal to receive weapons." ”

The generals and colonels looked at each other, and one of them, Xu Run, who was engaged in Zhonglang, asked: "Does the general want us to support the king of Huainan?" ”

Chen Hui replied: "I went to the arsenal to get weapons." There was no expression on his face, and his eyes swept coldly over everyone.

Xu Run, who was engaged in Zhonglang, stubbornly asked again: "General, what should we do after we receive the weapon?" ”

Chen Hui stared at Xu Run with a pair of eyes, and said word by word in his mouth: "General Ben's military order is to ask you to take a thousand people to the arsenal to receive weapons!" ”

Xu Run saw that this rhythm was not right, so he could only say immediately: "The last general understands." Then he bowed down and retreated into the ranks of the generals.

The generals and colonels looked at each other again, but Gong Cao was engaged in Hu Qian's heart, but he secretly cursed Chen Hui: "Just by your words, people are willing to give me weapons?" Are you stupid to me, or are you stupid to others! ’

The military order was like a mountain, although the generals and colonels were slanderous in their hearts, but they still obeyed Chen Hui's orders, led by Xu Run, Gongcao Hu Zhen, and led thousands of soldiers and horses out of the East Palace, all the way north to the arsenal.

The East Palace is actually not far from the arsenal, but it is just a few streets away. When Xu Run and Hu Zhen arrived at the arsenal, the men and horses of the left guard of the East Palace outside the gate of the arsenal were reorganized. Xu Run, who was engaged in Zhonglang, said to Hu Zhen: "You wait here, I'll go and find out the situation first." ”

Hu Zhen glanced at Xu Run and said, "You can go with confidence, I will take the team with me." "In his heart, he secretly said: 'It's best for you to carry the pot with the surname Xu.'"

Xu Run strode forward, and the arsenal naturally saw his line. Ling Jieliang, who was organizing the reorganization of the army, asked the people of the rearguard to know that it was the left guard who came, so he greeted him: "Is it the prince of the East Palace who is engaged in Zhonglang Xu Run?" I've been waiting for a long time. ”

A smile appeared on Xu Run's face, and he said to the arsenal Ling Jieliang: "It's exactly below." But the Jie Wu Arsenal? I came here to collect my weapons on the orders of Lord Chen Hui. ”

However, the arsenal Ling Jieliang did not let him go immediately, he asked, "Didn't General Chen come?" ”

Xu Run continued to maintain a smile on his face and replied, "General Chen asked me to lead people to collect weapons. ”

Jieliang's eyes flashed immediately, and he asked again: "Lord Chen ordered you to lead weapons to attack the traitor Sima Lun?" ”

The smile on Xu Run's face froze, and he replied to Jie Liang: "I was just ordered to get the weapon." ”

Hearing this, Jie Liang didn't understand, he immediately changed his face, sneered and said, "Xu Zhen, are you using the weapons of the arsenal as a child's toy?" Do you say you will receive it? ”

Xu Run was not annoyed when he saw that the arsenal made Jie Liang turn his face, but he calmed down, he said: "You are the duty, I am acting on orders, in my opinion, it is better to be like this - I am here as a hostage guarantee, and you send the weapon to the person I brought." ”

"What's your use of being a hostage? Will the men you bring with you obey our commands? This interjection was the right Marquis Zhao Shan, who stepped forward.

Xu Run asked, "Who is this?" ”

Zhao Shan said coldly: "Contemptible Zhao Shan, the current Marquis of the Right Capital of the Weiwei Mansion." ”

Xu Run changed his face and said: "You just said that you detained me and let my soldiers and horses obey orders, otherwise you will harm me." Otherwise, you can take a few more hostages. ”

Hu Zhen and the others watched Xu Run negotiate in the distance, and waited for a while, but when they saw the arsenal, Ling Jieliang approached the men and horses of the left guard of the East Palace with hundreds of soldiers, but there was no Xu Run with them. There was a commotion in front of the left guard, this was the rhythm of the use of force, after all, he was unarmed.

Jieliang shouted in front of the left army of the East Palace, which numbered thousands of people: "Wait and listen! Now that your boss is engaged in Zhonglang Xu Run, I have detained him, if you want him to be safe, follow my command. I have joined the king of Huainan, and the prince is raising troops to crusade against the national thief Sima Lun, if you follow the king of Huainan to crusade against the national thief, you will be rewarded in the future. ”

Zuowei's men and horses were surprised for a while, they really didn't expect that the other party would directly detain Xu Run, who went to negotiate, if it wasn't for the two countries, there was no need to be embarrassed, right? Besides, we haven't fought yet. Besides, when did Xu Run become our coach? He's just a temporary leader.

Jie Liang saw that Zuo Wei's men and horses did not immediately express his position and said: "Now that Sima Lun's rebel thief has been surrounded in Xiangguo's mansion, and the king of Huainan is commanding all the northern and southern armies to attack, this old thief has been unable to fly, and the great credit is in front of you, what are you hesitating about!" ”

'Zuo Wei has already sent two thousand people, it is said that the king of Huainan himself has raised a lot of swordsmen, how can there be thousands of guards here in the arsenal, and there will only be more people besieging the Prime Minister's Mansion, this road seems to be able to fight? Gong Cao Hu secretly calculated in his heart, and after Jieliang's repeated persuasion, he generously stood up.

I only heard Hu Zhen say: "I heard that the lord humiliated the ministers to death, and now you have detained our lord general to engage in Zhonglang, I Gong Cao Hu Zhen is willing to lead the people and horses to listen to your command, you don't want to hurt Xu Zhi." ”

This is said to be clever, the sentence 'the lord humiliates the minister to death' buttoned the leader's hat on Xu Run, and he is really going to fail, so that the surname Xu can't run. He also said that the surname Xu was engaged in Zhonglang, and he was Gong Cao, and named the two on an equal footing, and this team could be commanded by himself.

Jieliang thought to himself: 'Just listen to it.' He immediately said to this Hu Gongcao: "You don't have to worry about the safety of Xu Gong, but you can't lead this thousand soldiers and horses alone." Then Jieliang, Zhao Shan, and Wu Zhong each transferred bones as the deputies of the generals at all levels of this army of soldiers and horses, and let the thousand people go to the battlefield in batches in ten teams.

Hu Zhen watched the chips that he thought he could use to fight for fame being dismantled by Jieliang, and couldn't help but secretly hate in his heart: "Okay, you Jieliang!" Take my military power! I've written down this hatred! But he didn't show it on his face, but generously said goodbye to the arsenal Ling Jieliang: "Lord Jie, rest assured, Hu's loyalty to the king of Huainan can be seen every day, and this will be ruined by the prince's liver and brain!" ”
