Shi Liancheng asked, "What is the purpose of the two of you coming here today?" ”

Liu Yan said: "The general is invincible in the world, we dare not be the enemy of the general, and I have come to serve the general!" Shi Liancheng was surprised, thought for a while, and said, "I can't believe that you will surrender to me!" Everyone in the world knows that Hua Xu's people are loyal to the big and the emperor, how can they betray? You're lying to me! ”

Liu Yan said: "We also know that the general is difficult to believe us, so we have prepared a gift, which is the distribution map of our Huaxu's secret strongholds in Dali, and we would like to use this to show our sincerity!" ”

Shi Liancheng asked, "Where are the drawings?" ”

Liu Yan untied a small package on her back, opened it, took out a scroll, and said, "The distribution map is here!" ”

"Show me!"

Shi Liancheng's request hit Liu Yan's heart, and Liu Yan answered, holding the scroll and walking towards Shi Liancheng. And Zhao Xiang'er behind her stared at Shi Liancheng with both eyes.

Liu Yan walked to the handsome case with the scroll in her hand, knelt down on one knee, placed the scroll in front of Wu Song, opened it slowly, and introduced the specific situation of each stronghold while opening it. Shi Liancheng looked at the drawings and listened to the introduction of the other party, and was surprised to find that Hua Xu had so many strongholds and so many secret agents in Bagan, Dali, and he didn't know about these situations before.

The scroll opened to the end, and a cold light suddenly appeared, and a sharp dagger appeared. Liu Yan grabbed the dagger and stabbed Shi Liancheng in the chest, Shi Liancheng was completely defenseless, in a hurry, he subconsciously fell backwards, and there was a thud, although the dagger failed to pierce Shi Liancheng's heart as he wished, but pierced his shoulder! Shi Liancheng is a veteran on the battlefield, and he is extremely fast, and immediately kicked his right foot, kicked the handsome case and flew out, smashing it towards Liu Yan! Liu Yan was stopped by the handsome case and failed to continue the attack, and at this time, Zhao Xiang'er had already leaped up, jumped over the overturned handsome case and rushed towards Shi Liancheng, and the dagger in her hand flashed with cold light and stabbed straight at Shi Liancheng's throat! Shi Liancheng didn't have time to block, so he could only roll on the spot, and with a snort, the dagger cut a bloody hole on his back that was half a foot long, and the blood splashed out!

The two women continued to attack, Shi Liancheng couldn't take care of pulling out the horizontal knife in his busy schedule, so he pulled off the horizontal knife with the scabbard and blocked the two women's swift and desperate attack. Seeing the desperate attitude of the two women, I was depressed.

The guards outside the door heard the sudden sound of fierce fighting inside, and hurriedly rushed into the big tent. Seeing that the two women were attacking the general like crazy, they were frightened and hurriedly stepped forward to help and blocked the attack of the two women. Shi Liancheng finally escaped, panting and shouting, "Don't hurt them, catch them alive!" ”

Seeing that the opportunity had been lost, the two women immediately got rid of their own soldiers and rushed out of the big tent. Several of his own soldiers also rushed out of the tent, shouting at the same time: "Catch the assassins, don't let them escape!" The whole barracks were in an uproar, and groups of soldiers and horses gathered from all directions, and before the two women could escape from the barracks, they were surrounded by thousands of soldiers and horses!

The wounded Shi Liancheng came to the front of the army with the support of his own soldiers, and shouted: "Don't hurt them, catch them alive!" ”

Hu Yanbi roared sharply: "As the leader of the Huaxu Pavilion, why do you want to assassinate the general? ”

Liu Yan saw that she couldn't escape today, so she simply said loudly: "We are me for Your Majesty and for Daming!" Shi Liancheng, as His Majesty's brother-in-law and general of the Southwest, conspired to rebel, shouldn't he die? As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar at the scene, everyone had heard similar rumors more or less before, but they didn't believe it, but now it was the two Huaxu Pavilion leaders who said this, and they also risked death to assassinate Shi Liancheng, which is obviously not a lie! Everyone's eyes fell on Shi Liancheng, and several legion political commissars questioned one after another: "General, what they said is the truth!" ”

Shi Liancheng was anxious and shouted: "Hugh must listen to the rumors, the two of them intend to assassinate General Ben, and take them down immediately!" ”

The sergeants subconsciously wanted to do it.

Huyan Bixian and other generals and political commissars shouted one after another: "Don't move! When the sergeants saw this, they stopped.

Hu Yan Bixian frowned and said: "General, if the people in the market talk like this, we can treat him as talking nonsense!" But today it is the two cabinet leaders who say this, and the general must give us an explanation! Otherwise, the brother will not have to do it! ”

Liu Yan and Zhao Xiang'er were pleasantly surprised when they saw this scene, and Liu Yan said loudly: "Generals, and all the Ming soldiers, you are all our Ming warriors, and you are all loyal and brave ministers of Your Majesty!" Not long ago, our spies obtained conclusive evidence from his home and reported it to the cabinet and His Majesty, so His Majesty ordered the Cabinet to mobilize the military and civilian armies in Sichuan and other places to deal with the situation! This is absolutely true, otherwise my sisters would not have come to assassinate him at the cost of their deaths! ”

The crowd couldn't help but believe it a little. Huyan Bixian looked at Shi Liancheng and asked; "General, what do you say?"

Shi Liancheng frowned and said, "I don't have anything to say!" ”

Hu Yanbixian frowned and said, "Since that's the case, don't blame the brothers!" Then he raised his voice and said: "Shi Liancheng is plotting to rebel, take it for me!" All the soldiers agreed in unison, and the army immediately turned their weapons and surrounded Shi Liancheng.

The captain of the personal army beside Shi Liancheng shouted: "Protect the general!" He immediately drew his long knife and protected it in front of Shi Liancheng, but only a few of his own soldiers followed suit, and the other personal soldiers, although they looked pained, all stood on Huyan Bixian's side. The military system of the Ming Dynasty is completely different from the previous dynasties and any current country, coupled with continuous education, so that although the army is led by various generals, but the soldiers will not be loyal to a general, they are loyal to the Ming and Yang Peng, in this case, anyone wants to rebel, can not be said to be completely impossible, but it is very difficult.

Liu Yan and Zhao Xiang'er were excited, they didn't expect things to change like this, they just felt that they knew that all the soldiers were so loyal to His Majesty, and there was no need for their two sisters to take this risk.

Huyan Bixian shouted at the soldiers of Shi Liancheng: "Do you want to rebel against the Ming Dynasty and your majesty?" Several pro-soldiers were shocked, their faces turned pale, and the captain of the pro-soldiers shook his head and said: "We don't dare to rebel against the Ming Dynasty, let alone rebel against Your Majesty!" However, we believe that the general is innocent! ”

Huyan Bixian said: "Your Majesty will deal with it impartially!" Whether General Shi Liancheng deserves it, or is innocently trapped, Your Majesty will decide! Waiting for this moment to be armed is no different from betrayal, quickly lay down your weapons! ”

Several pro-soldiers looked at each other, and the captain of the pro-soldiers said to Shi Liancheng: "General, I believe that you are innocent, but I can't fight against Your Majesty!" He immediately threw away the weapon in his hand, and several other personal soldiers also threw away their weapons when they saw this.

Huyan Bixian said to Shi Liancheng: "General, please go back to the big tent!" ”

Shi Liancheng smiled bitterly and said, "Huyan Bixian, I have something to tell you." Immediately, with the support of the two pro-soldiers, the big tent went.

Huyan Bixian raised his voice and said: "All armies are guarding their posts, and no one is allowed to move without my order!" The crowd agreed in unison.

Huyan Bixian walked into the big tent, and Liu Yan and Zhao Xiang'er followed.

Shi Liancheng sat down in the handsome seat. Hu Yanbi saw that Shi Liancheng's injuries were not light, and hurriedly ordered the medical officer to treat Shi Liancheng. Shi Liancheng said with a smile: "Wouldn't my rebellious death send people happy and save me!" Hu Yan Bixian said: "Whether the general is rebellious or not has to be decided by His Majesty!" ”

Shi Liancheng smiled bitterly. looked at the wound on his shoulder, then at Liu Yan and Zhao Xiang'er, with a look of appreciation in his eyes, and asked, "You came to assassinate me, aren't you afraid of death?" ”

Liu Yan snorted and said, "For Your Majesty, what are you afraid of death!" ”

Shi Liancheng nodded and sighed: "Big brother is such a person, anyone is willing to sacrifice their own life for the sake of big brother!" Zhao Xiang'er couldn't help but say, "You still have the face to call Your Majesty's eldest brother!" ”

Shi Liancheng smiled bitterly and asked, "You should have come to assassinate me, it should be your own idea, right?" ”

Liu Yan said: "Not bad! ”

Shi Liancheng nodded, and said to Huyan Bixian: "Brother Huyan, you must immediately order the army, block the news, and no one is allowed to leave without permission!" ”

Huyan Bi asked puzzledly, "Why is this?" Liu Yan said angrily: "Why does General Huyan listen to you, a rebellious person? ”

Shi Liancheng smiled bitterly, picked up a letter from the handsome case, threw it at the feet of the three people, and said; "You'll understand when you see it!"

The three of them felt a little puzzled, Liu Yan stepped forward, bent down to pick up the letter, took out the letter, read it, and said in surprise: "Is it His Majesty's handwritten letter?!" Huyan Bixian and Zhao Xiang'er were surprised. Liu Yan said: "Brother Liancheng, recently there have been rumors that are unfavorable to Liancheng to the ears of Brother Wei, Brother Wei absolutely believes in Liancheng, but he feels that the current situation is by no means an ordinary rumor, it seems that someone is planning a conspiracy." I've decided to count it out. Since they want Liancheng to rebel, Liancheng might as well really rebel, so that I can lure all these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods out and catch them all! When everyone heard this, they were all taken aback, and Liu Yan exclaimed: "This, this is all Your Majesty's strategy!?" ”

Shi Liancheng nodded and said; "That's it." The three of them looked at each other, and there was nothing to say for a moment.

Huyan Bixian asked, "Can you be sure that this letter is written by His Majesty?" Liu Yan said: "Absolutely! The handwriting of the pen cannot be imitated by others, and it is also stamped with His Majesty's personal seal, and this letter should have been sent by His Majesty from the Kingdom of Wa! ”

A smile appeared on Huyan Bixian's face, and he said, "Okay! It's finally dawning! Shi Liancheng is still the same Shi Liancheng, I'm so happy! Shi Liancheng said with a smile: Shi Liancheng will always be the Shi Liancheng of that mine slave, even if he is broken, it is impossible to betray the eldest brother!

With two plops, Liu Yan and Zhao Xiang'er knelt down towards Shi Liancheng, and Liu Yan said with great self-reproach: "Please punish the general, I don't know, almost, almost caused a catastrophe!" ”

Shi Liancheng laughed, "You don't know, what's the sin!" The two girls were grateful.

Huyan Bixian clenched his fists and said: "I immediately went and ordered the blockade of the whole camp, and no one was allowed to leave without an order!" "Then he left.

Shi Liancheng shouted, "Wait a minute. Huyan Bixian asked, "What else does the general command?" Shi Liancheng frowned and said, "I'm afraid that the blockade of the camp can no longer organize news leakage." The enemy must have someone nearby to check on the situation, and there is a good chance that they have already discovered what happened just now. At about the same time as Shi Liancheng said this, the lookout of the camp saw two fast horses galloping out of a nearby wood, galloping towards the south, in a very suspicious manner. A lookout immediately pointed to the fast horse in the distance and said to his companion, "Go and report to the general!" His companion answered and ran down.

Shi Liancheng said: "Your Majesty hopes to take this opportunity to wipe out the rebel forces hidden in Dali, my original plan was to wait a little longer, and wait for all the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods in Dali to jump out before getting rid of them." This plan may be difficult to achieve these days, and we must act ahead! Liu Yan and Zhao Xianger felt guilty.

At this moment, a sentry rushed in, and subconsciously reported to Shi Liancheng: "General, two suspicious-looking knights were found outside the camp running out of the woods and running south, I don't know who they are?" ”

Shi Liancheng immediately said to Hu Yanbi: "It must be their eyeliner, quickly send light cavalry to pursue!" Shi Liancheng said yes and ran down. Soon after, more than 100 Turks rushed out of the camp and pursued them south according to the instructions of the sentry on the sentry.

Huyan Bixian returned to the big tent, hugged his fists and said: "Cavalry has been dispatched, they can't escape!" "Huyan Bixian can have this kind of self-confidence, because the war horse of the Ming Dynasty war horse, the war horse of the Ming War Horse is rarely matched in the world, and this kind of war horse folk can not be obtained in any case, the folk horse, in terms of endurance and speed is generally not comparable to the war horse, so from this point of view, it is only a matter of time before the Ming war horse catches up with those two people.

Shi Liancheng frowned and said, "I'm afraid there are other eyeliners." He said to Huyan Bixian: "Immediately send orders to all places, order the garrisons of the prefects in various places to clear the noble forces that are trying to rebel, and at the same time send elite war cavalry to raid Shanju County and Lanxi County to completely destroy the rebels!" Huyan Bixian hugged his fists and ran down.

More than 100 war horsemen chased for more than 20 miles and caught the two suspicious guys and brought them back to see Shi Liancheng. Shi Liancheng asked, "Who are you?" The one on the left showed a look of panic and helplessness, but the one on the right pretended to be stupid and said: "We are kind people, what is the reason for the general to arrest us?" ”

Shi Liancheng snorted coldly and said, "Don't pretend to be garlic in front of General Ben!" I know that both of you are Duan Zhichun people! The two of them looked different in unison. The man on the left hurriedly kowtowed like pounding garlic, and kept begging for mercy in his mouth: "The general spares his life!" The general spares his life! The villain is forced! ......" The man next to him shouted, "Shut up! What do you do to beg them for mercy? Then he said proudly to Shi Liancheng: "Yes, we are General Duan's subordinates!" Since you have seen through it, kill it if you want to! Grandpa frowned, he is not a hero! ”

Shi Liancheng nodded, "Very good." Dragged down and chopped. The two soldiers standing behind the man dragged the man down, and the man screamed and cursed, while the other trembled with fear, and his body involuntarily swayed.

The man's shouting stopped abruptly, and a bloody human head was sent in. The other only felt weak, fell to the ground, cried and begged: "Great, the general spares his life!" ”

Shi Liancheng waved his hand at the pro-soldiers, who held the heads and retreated.

Shi Liancheng looked at the man lying on the ground and asked, "What did Duan Zhichun send you for?" How dare that person hide it, when he heard the question, he hurriedly said: "Duan Da, no, no, no, Duan Zhichun him, he is worried, worried that things will change, so he ordered us to follow the general all the way to check the situation, and if there is any change, we will report it to him immediately!" Huyan Bixian and the others couldn't help but show admiration towards Shi Liancheng.

Shi Liancheng asked again: "Is there anyone else in Duan Zhichun's eyeliner besides you?" ”

"Yes. Duan Zhichun sent a total of three teams of eyeliners for the sake of insurance, and we were only one of them. ”

Hu Yan Bixian frowned and said, "Our sentries only found one team of eyeliners, and the other two teams must have fled back!" ”

Shi Liancheng said to the man: "I would like to spare your life, but what you have committed is a crime that does not forgive the death penalty, and you have not made a meritorious contribution enough to redeem the crime, so I can only put you on death row." ”

The man was shocked, and kowtowed urgently: "The general spares his life, the general spares his life!" The general wants me to do anything, I am willing! I can redeem merit, I can redeem merit! Although the villain has a low status in Duan Zhichun's rebel party, he knows the location of one of their important strongholds, and the villain is willing to tell the general! ”

Shi Liancheng said: "If the information you provide is really useful, I can intercede for you to save your life." The man was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, General!" Thank you, General! ”

Shi Liancheng turned his head to Liu Yan and said, "This person will be handed over to you." Liu Yan nodded, hugged her fists and said, "General, we are retiring." ”

Duan Zhichun captured Shanju County very smoothly, and he was very excited, and immediately couldn't wait to play the banner of the Dali Empire, and under the promotion of everyone, he sat on the throne of the Dali Emperor. Immediately, Duan Zhichun granted amnesty to the world, sent a messenger to contact Shi Liancheng, and at the same time issued the first edict as the new emperor, ordering all the prime-aged people in Lanxi and Shanju to gather in the army. Duan Zhichun's messengers scattered in all directions, but all the counties and towns they went to were empty of people, except for those noble landlords, almost all the ordinary people fled into the nearby mountains.

At noon that day, Duan Zhichun's envoy came to the eastern border of Shanju County. In the distance, I heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of me, and I followed the sound to see two knights galloping from the front. The messenger immediately reined in his horse and motioned for the procession to stop.

After a few moments, the two knights galloped in front of them, reining in their horses, and one of them asked loudly, "May I ask if it is General Duan's subordinates!" ”

The envoy clasped his fists to the sky and said: "General Duan has succeeded to the throne as the new monarch of Dali!" The two knights looked surprised. The envoy asked, "You two are the eyeliners sent by His Majesty to spy on Shi Liancheng?" The two nodded, and the man on the left said urgently: "My lord, the situation has changed, we see that Shi Liancheng was arrested by his subordinates who launched a mutiny!" The messenger was taken aback and asked urgently, "How could such a thing happen?" With Shi Liancheng's prestige and ability, how could he not control his subordinates? Both of them shook their heads, unable to answer his question.

The envoy frowned and muttered: "Your Majesty sent me to envoy Shi Liancheng, now that Shi Liancheng has been captured by his mutinous subordinates, there is no need for me to go again, so let's report this situation quickly." At this point, he immediately ordered to turn back. The group turned around on the spot and headed for Shanju County.

Duan Zhichun was shocked when he heard that Shi Liancheng was captured by his subordinates in a mutiny, and couldn't help but shout: "This is impossible!" It's absolutely impossible! With Shi Liancheng's prestige, how could he not control his subordinates? ”

An eyeliner hugged his fist and said: "This is what we saw with our own eyes, it is true!" At that time, it seems that two female Assassins assassinated Shi Liancheng, and then Shi Liancheng gathered his soldiers to capture them. Seeing that thousands of soldiers and horses surrounded her and the two, but for some reason there was a sudden mutiny, and the soldiers under the command of Shi Liancheng turned their weapons one after another to surround Shi Liancheng! We saw with our own eyes that Slen was taken into the tent, and the two female assassins were unharmed! ”

Duan Zhichun paced back and forth in the lobby, looking extremely anxious, and kept muttering to himself.

An officer rushed in in a frenzy and cried out in fear: "Oh no, no! ”

Everyone chuckled in their hearts, and Duan Zhichun shouted, "What's wrong? ”

The officer swallowed, pointed outside and said urgently: "Da Ming Army, Da Ming Jun," because he was too frightened and anxious, he couldn't say the rest of the words. Outside, as if responding to his words, there was a thrilling shout.

Everyone's faces changed drastically, and Duan Zhichun shouted, "What's the matter? What's going on? ”

The officer finally came back to his senses and said urgently: "The Ming army has suddenly appeared outside the city and has launched an attack!" Although everyone had expected it, they were still shocked when they heard this. At this moment, another officer rushed in with a rolling belt, fell to the ground with a thud, and cried out on the ground: "Enemy, the enemy has attacked!" ”

The crowd was startled again, only to hear the rumbling of horses' hooves and thunderous shouts rapidly approaching, and it was clear that what the officer said was true. Duan Jiang, who was canonized by Duan Zhichun as Prime Minister Zuo, said urgently: "Your Majesty, the situation is urgent, hurry up and avoid danger!" As he spoke, he dragged the lot to the back with a hesitant look, and everyone hurriedly followed.

The crowd ran out from behind the 'palace' and ran straight towards the north gate, trying to escape out of the city. I saw that flags were rolling in the streets in front of me, and the Ming army had blocked the north. Everyone hurriedly turned to the west, but saw that the west was also full of banners, and the iron horses were surging, and in panic, they hurriedly turned to the east, but a team of war horses turned around the corner and the road to the east was blocked.

The crowd had no way to flee, and they were overwhelmed by what to do, and they saw the enemy army surrounding them.

The Ming army surrounded Duan Zhichun and others, and Ma Jin, the general who led the army, shouted: "Surrender and avoid death!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and those royal soldiers and Manchu ministers, without waiting for Duan Zhichun, the emperor, to give an order, they couldn't wait to throw away their weapons, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Duan Zhichun stood alone in the middle of everyone in a daze, his heart was like ashes, and he only felt as if he was dreaming.

Ma Jin pointed to the crowd and said, "Tie them all up!" Then he pointed at Duan Zhichun and teased: "Tie up this emperor for me!" ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
