Liu Fan had known the news that the Xiliang Army was marching into the imperial capital for a long time, but Liu Fan never expected that the Xiliang Army would set off such atrocities on the land of the empire. The spies of the Dark Night Quicksand are now all over the empire, and the actions of the Xiliang Army all the way are so arrogant that they were quickly sent back to the headquarters by the spies of the Dark Night Quicksand. The headquarters of the quicksand in the dark night sent the information to Liu Fan in the imperial capital with the fastest news, and Liu Fan, who received the information, instantly turned extremely ugly. Xing, the people are suffering, dying, the people are suffering, Liu Fan now understands this sentence deeply.

When he still occupied the land of Yangzhou, Liu Fan already knew the hard work of the people in the process of dominating the world. The martial style of the empire makes every young man want to join the army to win a merit of his own, but how many civilian children can get their own merits alive in the years of war. Several large-scale conscriptions in Yangzhou have allowed almost all school-age children in Yangzhou to join the army, and several large-scale conscriptions have also allowed almost every household in Yangzhou to have children in the army. The foundation of the Shenwu Army under Liu Fan can be said to be the children of Yangzhou, and the children of the Liuxia family suffered even more heavy casualties.

In the several states occupied by Liu Fan, conscription continued, but Liu Fan has always tried to reduce the burden of the people, even in the most difficult times, Liu Fan only sought the help of those big families, and rarely plucked the hair from the people. The military order of the Shenwu Army is even more strict, as long as any soldier robs the people, he will immediately engage in military law as a team, and it can be said that the iron-blooded discipline has made the Shenwu Army the most popular army in the empire.

Where the Xiliang army passed, there was no grass, which made Liu Fan deeply angry. Liu Fan looked at the generals under his command with red eyes, if he really let Dong Zhuo enter the imperial capital. With the current intelligence, it seems that the army in Liu Fan's hands will be difficult to block their attack at all. If the rich city of Dijing is occupied by Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army. What kind of bloody storm will it set off in the empire? This made Liu Fan deeply worried. The Western Liang Army, the plague god army, must not enter the imperial capital under any circumstances.

"Lord, give the last general the strength of a legion, and the last general will definitely block Dong Zhuo's army from the border of Sizhou. Bai Qi first asked for battle, he had fought with Dong Zhuo, and at that time, Bai Qi felt that Dong Zhuo was a traitor in troubled times, and left a lot of thoughts for Dong Zhuo. At that time, the strong combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army was very satisfying to Bai Qi, and the Xiliang Army regarded death as home, and had skilled combat skills. The strong combat strength made Bai Qi very satisfied. The Xiliang army revealed a smell of blood from top to bottom, which made Bai Qi very satisfied with this army. He never expected that the Xiliang Army would do such a thing, and even Bai Qi, who was known as a human slaughterer, would have infinite anger in his heart when he slaughtered the people.

"No, the defensive forces in our imperial capital are already insufficient, and Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army has millions of people, and there are only 300,000 people in one legion, so it is impossible to block the attack of the Xiliang army. Wei Qing decisively rejected Bai Qi's proposal, these days he has investigated the combat effectiveness of the Guards, at most it is between the combat effectiveness of the Shenwu Army. If the Xiliang army is really as the newspaper says, unless it is doubling its strength. to stop them, otherwise there is no hope at all.

If the three corps are transferred, how many troops will the Imperial Capital have left? The Imperial Capital City is hundreds of miles in radius, and if the three corps are transferred away from the Imperial Capital as soon as it is immediately emptied, they will have more opportunities to take advantage of the void. Bai Qi's Jihua that everyone disagrees with, Bai Qi's of course knows that his Jihua is not feasible, he is just looking for another Jihua of his own, but this Jihua has to wait for the support of many generals, and Bai Qi is waiting for this opportunity.

"Lord, please see. Bai Qi opened a military map, pointed to several cities on the map, and said to Liu Fan: "Lord, there are 200,000 Qingzhou troops of General Zhu You stationed here, as well as 600,000 troops of Yuwen Chengdu Corps, a total of 800,000 troops, and they can get support from the Yizhou Corps nearby." And their opponents were the Zhang Jiajun of Qingzhou in the north, the army of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect in Fangjiao, and the army of four million from Sizhou. ”

"In comparison, they face far stronger enemies than we do, but as long as this army is used properly, we can achieve unexpected results. Bai Qi pointed to several cities on the map and said to Liu Fan: "The Western Liang army went south from Liangzhou in the north, intending to occupy Qingzhou, Sizhou and Liangzhou in the north are connected, as well as most of the territory of Yongzhou. In these states, the geographical location of Qingzhou is very important, at present, the garrison of Qingzhou has converged with the three guards corps loyal to Zhang Bai and is on the way to the imperial capital, and it is expected that they will be able to reach the imperial capital in ten days. ”

"The defense of Qingzhou is now taken over by Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army, as long as we can send an elite army to attack Qingzhou, we can cut off the back road of the Xiliang Army and buy us time. And all this Yuwen soldiers and General Zhu You's corps can be easily mobilized, and what we have to do is to attract the enemy in front of the Yuwen Corps and Zhu You's corps to us, and let our Imperial Army's corps face these millions of troops. Bai Qi said to everyone with a solemn face.

A trace of doubt flashed in everyone's hearts, especially Liu Fan, Bai Qi's Jihua completely used himself and Dijing as bait to attract the army of the Eight Great Emperor Merchants to turn back and attack Dijing, so that Yuwen Chengdu's corps could free up their hands to deal with the Xiliang army. As for whether Yuwen Chengdu's corps can deal with the Xiliang army, Liu Fan is not worried at all. Yuwen Chengdu's corps is getting stronger and stronger, and Wang Jian and the four of them, who were originally transferred to fight in Qingzhou, are now also in Yuwen Chengdu's corps, and have taken over all military power. Wang Jian and other four famous generals of the Warring States Period, plus Wang Yangming, who exists like a demon, is still proper to deal with Dong Zhuo, even if he can't win, at least he won't be defeated.

"Okay, order the Shenwu army in Yizhou, in addition to leaving the necessary troops, led by Pang Juan and Sun Bin, to defend the army of Fangjiao and Hai Clan, the rest of the army is led by Han Xin, and Guo Jia is the military division to go north!" Liu Fan also made up his mind, no matter whether the army of the Eight Great Emperor Merchants returned to the imperial capital or not, it was time for the Shenwu army in Yizhou to attack the imperial capital. This time, the dispatch of the Shenwu Army means that the Shenwu Army cannot stop. It will never stop until the world is calm.

"Order Wang Qian. The army all went north to attack Qingzhou with all its might. Give me and the Liangzhou army a fight, and the enemy behind them will be handed over to Han Xin to be responsible, and let people tell Han Xin, whether I am dead or alive depends on how this battle goes. We will defend the Imperial Capital with all our might, and from now on all our enemies will be eliminated at once, and we must have a stable Imperial Capital. Liu Fan said fiercely to the generals, this time it is a big gamble, if you win, the overall situation will be decided. If Liu Fan is defeated, he will completely lose the opportunity to turn over, and it is not impossible to lose the emperor's capital.

"My lord, did you send a part of the navy Liliang from Yangzhou to the north along the canal to support the defense of the imperial capital?"

"Yes, order Liu Renliang and Zheng Chenggong's troops to immediately lead all the soldiers and horses under their command to the north to support the defense of the imperial capital. Let Yue Fei's subordinates in Yongzhou give up all the interests of Yongzhou, and now lead the army south to support Yizhou. Inform Gan Ning of the Jingzhou Corps, and Zhou Tai's department immediately led troops to the imperial capital to support. Chen Qingzhi's department, Sun Wu's department, fully supported the imperial capital. This time, we must resist their attacks to the death under the Imperial Capital, and strive to quell the civil strife in the empire in one fell swoop. ”

Now all the armies that Liu Fan can draw have been drawn. After Zhou Yu rectified the strength of the navy, he handed over the naval corps to Zheng He, and returned to Jingzhou with several generals under his command to manage Jingzhou and prepare for the attack. Jingzhou's strength is not very strong now, but Liu Fan can't wait anymore, and Jingzhou's army must go north to support the defense of the imperial capital. Sun Wu's troops in Yanzhou and Chen Qingzhi's troops in Bingzhou must be transferred back, and all the armies they can concentrate must be concentrated. The rest of the armies were either too far away, or the combat mission could not be withdrawn at all.

The situation in the imperial capital became complicated again, and the secret agents of the Dark Night Quicksand sent all the information out as quickly as possible, and the Shenwu Army finally began to turn slowly in this huge war machine. This time, the machines of the Shenwu Army rotated more smoothly and liliang, and the Shenwu Army would swear their return to the Empire's destiny with a new attitude, swearing that they were capable of protecting the Empire.

The people of Dijing are all closed, and the fighting in Dijing has cast a heavy shadow on the hearts of these people who were originally accustomed to peaceful days. Everyone is waiting for the end of this turmoil, tomorrow there will be officials under the escort of the army soldiers to give these people the necessary rations, but absolutely forbidden these people to go out, if it is not for the sound of fighting, and the neat pace of the army echoing in the imperial capital, the imperial capital gives people the feeling of a dead city.

Several men in black suits hid on the roof, only looking coldly at the patrol guards walking back and forth around. They were looking for the right opportunity to wipe out a group of guards, but they never found the right opportunity, the guards patrolling back and forth were extremely vigilant, and each team of guards had a dragoon or a master of the Golden Guard, they rarely had the opportunity to kill these people quietly, and then fit into the place they wanted to go in the clothes of the soldiers.

"zhanzhu, password!" A group of guards quietly turned out of a corner of the alley, and the leader of the team sensed that something was wrong, and he smelled the smell of blood from the bodies of these soldiers, which was not very strange to him, a person who had been licking blood with a knife all year round.

"There is an enemy, do it!" The commander took out the war knife on his waist and killed the pair of guards who had just come out of the corner, and the soldiers who followed him were also very nervous these days, and when they heard the words of the commander, they immediately raised their knives to meet those soldiers.

The soldiers who had just come out of the corner obviously did not expect them to be exposed so quickly, and they were immediately cut down by four or five soldiers on the opposite side, and the others were also cut down to the ground by the surrounding soldiers when they tried to resist. Such a sudden attack ended quickly, and the handsome handsome man looked coldly at the corpse with a bloodied knife in his hand. Fortunately, these people are not bad, and if it weren't for a surprise attack, their own subordinates might have suffered more casualties.

"What's going on here?" a captain hurried over with a team of guards, looking at the corpses all over the ground, he suddenly shouted loudly, now everyone in the imperial capital is nervously nervous, one is not careful, it is likely to lead to large-scale internal bloodshed, and all the officers are trying to suppress the troops under their command. When the commander saw the comer, he stepped forward with a face and explained the whole thing to the lieutenant.

The army that enforces the curfew in the imperial capital has a total of two systems of armies, one of which is the soldier of the Five Cities Terracotta Division as the main force. Then there is the Guard, which is in a subsidiary position. Even though the Guards had a lot more men and horses than the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses. They are still not as skilled as the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division. Tonight's curfew mission is carried out by the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division. And the commander shouted the order because he couldn't see the other person's dress clearly under the dim torches. As soon as you face the other party, you know that the other party is not from the Five Cities Terracotta Division, because the hands they hold weapons are different. Xu Yao, the commander of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, used a left-handed knife, so all the soldiers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division had the same weapons on the left hand side, but the weapons of this team of guards were placed on the right hand side.

"Order everyone to strictly investigate, and never let the spies into the camp!" The lieutenant said to the soldiers beside him with a dark face: "Report this matter to the general immediately, everyone should be vigilant now, and no one can relax their vigilance." ”

"No!" the soldiers suddenly tensed, if there was really an enemy around them. Then their lives may be lost anytime and anywhere, no one wants to lose their lives, matters related to the safety of their own lives, these soldiers are all nervous and abnormal. Xu Yao received the report and immediately reported it to Liu Fan, and at the same time ordered a strict investigation, Liu Fan also hurriedly ordered to strengthen the vigilance, and change the password every half an hour.

"Overseer, it's all ready. "In a mansion near the palace. The basement was densely packed with people. The governor of the Haojie Army, Zhu Ying, stood in the center, surrounded by the masters of the Haojie Army. are also the people who went to Liu Fanren's head this time, and there are many killers who are caught in the net, these people are all sent by Zhang Bai.

"We have already arranged the spies near the palace, as soon as we move, we can immediately pull out the secret sentry hidden in the shadows. The spies in the palace are ready, and as soon as our side launches them, they will cause chaos in the palace and answer us. ”

Zhang Ying nodded heavily, she was not very optimistic about this action, not that she didn't believe in the strength of these soldiers under her command, but because she now had a premonition in her heart. She couldn't tell what it was, but it gave her an inexplicable fear of the palace. Zhang Bai had already sent her the latest information in the palace, and the level of security was far greater than she imagined, and what she didn't expect was that Liu Fan was actually in the palace.

After Zhang Bai got the news, he couldn't wait to find Zhang Ying to discuss the attack on the palace Jihua, they had unconsciously put the killing of Liu Fan in the first place, they seemed to be very optimistic about this operation, only Zhang Ying knew that Liu Fan was not so easy to kill. At least there will be no fewer guards around Liu Fan, and Liu Fan's own strength is not weak, not to mention that Zhang Wuji, who is known as the number one master in the Haojie army, is now also protecting Liu Fan in the palace.

Zhang Ying also knew about the actions of the ground network, although Zhang Ying was surprised by the strength of the ground network, but he didn't have too much confidence in them. The strength of the ground net is a little terrifying, but Liu Fan holds a treasure of an artifact in his hand, which is not easy to deal with. Zhang Ying didn't have much interest in killing Liu Fan, she just wanted to save Zhang Rang and leave, and by the way, rescue the little emperor and hand it over to Zhang Bai, which counted the price of Zhang Ying for Zhang Bai to help her enter the palace.

Obviously, Zhang Bai has been carried away by the news of Liu Fan's presence in the imperial capital, and he doesn't know what he wants to do now. Zhang Ying glanced around, all the elites of the Haojie Army gathered here, if they all died in the palace, this army of people from the rivers and lakes would be completely destroyed.

"We can't do it before those people have done it. Zhang Ying ordered everyone: "There are many people who want to kill Liu Fan now, but Liu Fan is not so easy to kill, let others consume Liu Fan's strength first, and our first task is to rescue Gonggong Zhang from the palace." ”

"But Lord, this is also an opportunity for us. If you don't kill Liu Fan now when his strength is not enough, once he is allowed to return to Yizhou, it will be difficult to kill him. ”

"Hmph, do you really think that Liu Fan is so easy to kill in the imperial capital now?" Zhang Ying said disdainfully to the subordinate: "Not to mention that there are so many masters in the imperial capital, even Liu Fan's own strength is also very strong, and it is even more difficult to kill him under the protection of many masters, not to mention that there is Zhang Wuji by his side with his eight lackeys, do you really think he will not have any preparations?"

Zhang Ying's words instantly made everyone's faces very ugly, and Zhang Wuji left and took away the most elite masters in the Haojie Army, causing heavy losses to the entire Haojie Army. Thinking of the terrifying skills of Zhang Wuji and his subordinates, everyone's faces were extremely ugly.

"Tell me that no one is allowed to do anything without my orders. ”

"No!" (to be continued......)
