The sonorous sound of iron armor alarmed Luoyang City.

On both sides of the street outside the gate of the imperial city, there are auspicious auspicious clouds such as copper camels, copper horses, copper dragons, copper turtles, evil spirits, unicorns, and Tianlu.

This street is the famous Tonghuo Street.

This pair of copper camels is also the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to commemorate the opening of the Western Regions and built, Emperor Ming to decorate Luoyang, Chang'an's golden people, copper camels, Chenglu plate and other things are all transported to Luoyang, along the way was destroyed most of the half, only a few arrived in Luoyang.

Today, however, these bronze auspicious figures have lost their former luster.

for the iron armor and spears of the soldiers shine brighter than they do.

The general Cao Shuang, the general of the military guard, Cao Xun, the free cavalry attendant Cao Yan, plus Deng Yang, He Yan, Ding Mi, Li Sheng and others entered the palace with great momentum.

The palace maids, eunuchs, and concubines trembled.

Some old palace people vaguely recalled the scene when Emperor Wen was acting on behalf of the Han Dynasty.

The gate of the palace was opened wide in response to the eunuchs such as Deng Dang.

It was as if welcoming a new owner.

In the main palace, Empress Dowager Guo and Emperor Wei Cao Fang looked out of the palace gate in horror.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, but they stopped outside the temple gate.

"Minister Cao Shuang implores the Queen Mother to move to Yongning Palace!" Outside the city, Cao Shuang's voice was out of breath.

"The first emperor has always regarded the general as a brother, and the general is doing this today, why should he entrust the first emperor with his kindness?" Empress Dowager Guo reprimanded.

There was silence outside the hall.

But soon Deng Yang's deep voice sounded, "The general has no other intentions, Yongning Palace is quiet and elegant, and it is just right for the Queen Mother to recuperate." ”

"What if I don't go to this palace?" Empress Dowager Guo's voice became distant in the hall.

Cao Shuang, who was outside the hall, became more and more insufficient, "Please ask the Queen Mother to focus on the Great Wei Sheji." ”

But Deng Yang, He Yan, Ding Mi and others around him were all impatient, and their eyes turned to Cao Xun, Cao Yan and other Cao family brothers.

Cao Xun waved his hand, and thousands of forbidden soldiers shouted in unison: "Please put the Queen Mother first!" ”

After being silent in the hall for a long time, Empress Dowager Guo laughed, "It turns out that the general still knows about Sheji, so this palace will see how you spoil this Great Wei's Sheji!" ”

Smiling and smiling, he cried opposite the sixteen-year-old emperor Cao Fang.

South of the Imperial Palace, Sima Mansion.

Taifu Sima Yi looked to the north.

There is no cloudiness in the eyes.

"The general has done it." Jiang Ji said expressionlessly.

"The first emperor maintained the court with his father, Cao Shuang, and the queen mother, and today the balance has been broken, and Cao Shuang is the sole leader of the government, and the world has been eventful since then." Sima Shi said quietly.

Sima Yi said: "There will never be less things in the world, and the generals like to seize power, so they will all let him go, success or failure, shape, safety, and momentum." The situation is changing, the general is mediocre, and An can know everything? ”

Jiang Ji said: "Will the general attack Taifu?" ”

A cold light flashed in Sima Shi's eyes.

But Sima Yi smiled faintly, "Zitong is too worried, I don't have a common enmity with the general, what the general wants is only the power on the surface, what can I do if I let him?" For so many years, I have fought for the south and north of the Great Wei, and there is no merit and hard work, and the general has a generous temperament, and he can tolerate me, a dying old man, and tomorrow, I will call myself sick. ”

Jiang Ji glanced at Sima Shi again.

And Sima Shi didn't have any expression on his face.

In the eighth year of Wei Zhengshi, the general Cao Shuang used the strategies of Deng Yang, He Yan, Ding Mi and others to move the Empress Dowager Guo to Yongning Palace.

The power of the imperial court fell into the hands of the Cao Shuang brothers.

Cao Shuang reciprocated Li, and Deng Yang, He Yan, Bi Rail, Ding Mi, Li Sheng and others were either Shangshu or Shizhong, and completely controlled Shangshutai.

Taifu Sima Yi said that he was sick and never left home.

Luoyang quickly regained its calm, as if nothing had happened.

However, the balance pattern set by Emperor Ming has been broken, and the undercurrent will only become more turbulent.

Night shrouded Linqiang City.

The fire was raging in the west of Linqiang City.

"Report to Zhang Sima, Zhong Qiang is besieging Lu Shuihu and Yueshi Hu!" The scout was extremely excited to report.

But Zhang Teh was unmoved.

"Sima Zhang, the enemy army is infighting, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Captain Zhou Fang was overjoyed.

"Zhou Duwei thinks it's an opportunity?" Zhang Te got up and raised his eyes to look at the west, the fire was bursting, and people shouted and neighed.

It does seem like an opportunity.

Zhou Fang was stunned for a moment, "Is there a fraud?" Doesn't it look like it? ”

Zhang Te shook his head and said: "The soldiers are treacherous, the enemy's infighting is true, and it is also true to lure our army out of the city!" Look at the south, the lights are all out, it's very different from usual, I'm afraid the fan is waiting for us. ”

Zhou Fang said angrily: "What a cunning thief! ”

Zhou Fang was originally not very convinced by Zhang Te, but after so many days, Zhang Te could anticipate the enemy every time, and wherever there was danger in the city, he would be there.

There were no less than thirty enemy soldiers with swords, and the armor was full of wounds.

It gradually won the respect of the military and civilians.

Linqiang City is therefore impregnable.

"It's a pity that we can only watch the excitement in the city." Zhou Fang said disappointedly.

"Now is the time when the enemy's forces are the most empty, what a pity to miss such a good opportunity!"

"Sima wants to go out of the city?"

"Yes!"

"To the west?"

"To the south! If you lure me with bait, you won't think I'll take it directly! ”

Zhou Fang looked at Zhou Te blankly, shocked by this bold plan.

"I have watched the enemy army for many days, and the spirit has been lost, and the Qiang people are not good at fighting for a long time. Zhang Te seems to have a certain unique temperament, and it is difficult for others not to believe what he says.

Death for a confidant!

A warm blood surged and rose in Zhou Fang's chest.

Zhang Te walked to the inner side of the city wall and shouted towards the darkness below: "Tonight, fight to the death!" ”

"Fight to the death!" There was a roar in the darkness.

Zhou Fang was taken aback.

In the light of the fire, the two thousand armor soldiers raised their fists.

Zhang Te got off the city wall, stepped on the war horse with two thousand armor soldiers, and said to Zhou Fang: "You can lead a thousand young people out of the west city to make a loud noise, go around the north city and enter, and attract the enemy to ambush the soldiers. ”

"Command!"

After a while, the west gate of Linqiang City suddenly opened, the fire was bright, and the voices of the people were boiling, and they rushed straight to the battlefield of Qianghu internal strife.

It was like a long dragon swimming in the night.

Alarmed the entire battlefield.

In front of Zhang Te, Zhou Fang had no doubts, but after the actual implementation, there was inevitably a trace of doubt in his heart.

What if the enemy does not have an ambush?

What if the enemy attacks Qiang City first?

What if the enemy bites him to death?

……

But at this point, Zhou Fang fulfilled the duty of a subordinate and obeyed orders.

A thousand young men shouted for their lives, each holding two torches.

Less than two miles out of the city, thousands of troops and horses suddenly poured out of the darkness in the south, and a Qiang general looked up to the sky and howled: "The plan of my king among the Wei thieves!" ”

The howl peculiar to the Qiang people shook the mountains.

Like wolves.

Zhou Fang was stunned for a moment, his admiration was beyond words, and he looked back at Linqiang City, like a giant beast lurking in the wilderness in the night.

Suddenly a great confidence rose in my heart about this battle.
