Chapter 670: The War in the Imperial Capital (14)
The two white-clothed men sat opposite each other, but both of them were so strange, one of them was very angry, holding a folding fan in his hand, but there was a smell of conspiracy that was difficult to act on. And the other man in white didn't cover his mouth with his hands, and his body shook a few times from time to time, don't get me wrong, he wasn't laughing, but because of his body. The two sat opposite each other, and the guards around them were all looking around vigilantly, judging from the guards around the two, the two were obviously not simple characters, one of these two people was Zhang Bai who Emperor Jing was looking for, and the other was Bai Yulou, the young sect master of Liu Fan's old enemy Ghost Demon Sect.
"Brother Bai, if your Ghost Demon Sect can help me with all your might this time, I Zhang will be grateful. It's just that you want too much, isn't it?" Although the atmosphere of the conversation between the two was very harmonious, there was a trace of dissatisfaction in Zhang Bai's tone. He recruited a lot of Jianghu sects, but he was not able to recruit sects like the Demon Sect, on the one hand, these sects regarded themselves very high and did not give him the opportunity to recruit, and on the other hand, Zhang Bai's prestige in the rivers and lakes had obviously not reached the point of Zhang Rang, and his cognition of the rivers and lakes was more from books, and he did not have the courage of Zhang Rang at all.
The corners of Bai Yulou's mouth smiled, Zhang Bai is a talent, but just a talent is obviously not enough. Zhang Bai is smart, he at least understands what he needs now, and he also understands that his current strength is not Liu Fan's opponent at all, even with the help of the ground net, he only has a chance to counterattack, and this opportunity is for them to attack the palace and kill Liu Fan. Liu Fan is not so easy to kill, just look at Liu Fan who has survived the assassination for so many years, he should understand. How closely Liu Fan's subordinates protect Liu Fan. What's more, Liu Fan is injured now. When Jing Ke was still in the imperial capital. It is even more difficult to kill Liu Fan. And once they start to assassinate Liu Fan, if Liu Fan does not die, they will take over a hundredfold and a thousandfold revenge.
"Gongzi Zhang, the deal between us is very fair, we will help you kill Liu Fan, we just need you to provide me with some resources, and these resources can be said to be easy with your strength after you control the imperial capital. Bai Yulou looked at Zhang Bai with a smile and said. One of the main reasons why the Demon Sect has not been treated well by the Hades Sect over the years is that the martial arts cultivated by their Demon Sect are quite evil, even the Hades Sect, which is also regarded as an evil demon by the world, cannot accept it, especially after the Hades Sect announced its alliance with Liu Fan, the Ghost Demon Sect has completely gone to the opposite side of the Hades Sect.
Zhang Bai's face moved, to be honest, the proposal of the Demon Sect made him very action, if he wanted to kill Liu Fan, he would have to take a certain risk. Shi Julan had already appeared in the imperial capital, and although Shi Ling did not show up, Zhang Bai was sure that Shi Ling must be waiting in secret, waiting for someone who could really threaten Liu Fan to appear. Bai Yulou was also very aware of this matter. To kill Liu Fan, the Ghost Demon Sect had to face the full revenge of the Hades Sect, and the Ghost Demon Sect did not agree to kill Liu Fan. But Bai Yulou couldn't suppress this breath in his heart, and one of the reasons was because his beloved woman married Liu Fan.
"Okay, I can provide it for you, but you have to promise that you will be able to kill Liu Fan. Zhang Bai thought about it and finally agreed to Bai Yulou's conditions, but Zhang Bai demanded that Liu Fan must be killed, otherwise he would never have peace. Liu Fan has no descendants now, as long as Liu Fan dies, as the Liu family's army, the Shenwu Army will not be able to find a suitable heir in a short time, so Zhang Baiying will be given a chance to breathe. If Liu Fan doesn't die, then there will be no place for relaxation in this matter, and Dijing is now a chicken rib for the Shenwu Army. If Liu Fan fails and fails to hold the imperial capital, after escaping from the imperial capital, he can easily reorganize the army under his command and attack the imperial capital at any time.
After listening to Zhang Bai's conditions, Bai Yulou said: "Okay, I agree with your conditions, but you still don't forget your promise." ”
Zhang Bai nodded heavily at Bai Yulou, and Bai Yulou was also haha's daxiao. This time he came to Dijing, his original purpose was to kill some of Liu Fan's hatred, and the conditions proposed by Zhang Bai can be said to be the same as if he didn't mention it. If Zhang Bai wants to let their Ghost Demon Sect open the city gate for them, or to control the palace, this request is a bit reluctant, after all, although the people brought by Bai Yulou to kill Liu Fan are all masters among the masters, it is still a little reluctant to open the city gate to control the palace.
"Zhang Gongzi, I heard that your army is on standby outside the city, this time you want to enter the Imperial Capital City, but the Imperial Capital is heavily guarded, and there are a large number of troops stationed at the gates of the city, and the generals under Liu Fan's command are all generals of a hundred battles, and the North is as strong as the Xiliang Army, which is also blocked by less than one-third of its army, and cannot advance in the north, do you think you have any way to open the gate of the Imperial Palace?" Bai Yulou looked at the Praetorian Guards who were waiting in the dark and asked with a smile.
"Bai Gongzi, are you underestimating the strength of our nets?" Zhang Bai looked at Bai Yulou with a smile and said, although the strength of the nets has shrunk greatly in the presence of Dongchang and Heibing Terrace, a large number of spies are still hidden everywhere, and as long as they need it, they are still the world-famous nets. This time, Zhang Bai has decided to go all out, and naturally he will use all the liliang in his hand, and those spies in the net will naturally come out of the shadows.
"Although the soldiers and horses of the Praetorian Guard and the Five Cities Terracotta Division, as well as the dragoon Jin Wuwei have been controlled by Liu Fan, but after all, our net has existed for a thousand years, and we have a lot of spies, and now the war in the imperial capital is time for a decisive battle of Zuihou, it's time to show all our hole cards, this time we will definitely let everyone understand that our net is still the world-famous net. Zhang Bai said to Bai Yulou loudly, a strong look of confidence flashed in his eyes, now that Zhang Bai has passed down all the orders, those spies in the net have already begun to act, it is only a matter of time before the gate of the imperial capital is opened, and the army outside the city has already assembled and is ready to standby.
"If your army can enter the city, I'm afraid the war in the imperial capital won't end in a short time, and your army can give me more opportunities, but your strength is too different from the strength in the city. Once engaged in street battles with those soldiers of the Imperial Capital in the city. Once they reconquered the gates. Close the gate. I'm afraid you don't have enough troops for them to see. "Although Bai Yulou is not the general who leads the army, he also knows that the strength in Zhang Bai's hands is far from the opponent of the Shenwu Army, once the city gate is closed again, with the current combat strength in the Imperial Capital City and the strength of the generals under Liu Fan, it will be easy to defeat Zhang Bai's army.
"Haha, there are some things that Bai Gongzi are not as simple as you seem, the army of the emperor is strong, and the generals under Liu Fan are very strong. But what can this be?" Zhang Bai looked at Bai Yulou with a smile and said, "The army I can control is not just a few guards outside the city, I still have two million troops hidden in the shadows. Everyone thought that they would only resist the emperor the day after tomorrow, but they didn't know that they had already shown their fangs in the dark. ”
"I really didn't expect that Zhang Gongzi, who had a scholarly face, would also play this hand, wanting to transfer two million troops to the vicinity of the imperial capital unconsciously, with our Ghost Demon Sect, we definitely don't have this kind of strength. Bai Yulou naturally understood what kind of army Zhang Bai was talking about, and the two million Qingzhou troops had already arrived in the imperial capital. Now there is a sharp contrast between the armies outside the imperial capital and the inside of the city, and the number of Liu Fan's troops has now formed a certain gap with Zhang Bai's army. As long as Zhang Bai could control the gate of the imperial capital, he believed that Dong Zhuo in the north would not let go of this opportunity.
"Zhang Gongzi, as long as you control the gate of the imperial capital, I think the combat effectiveness of the Liangzhou Army in the north, which is like a wolf and a tiger, will definitely not let go of this opportunity. Bai Yulou said with a smile. Although the northern army of the Shenwu Army was still fighting desperately, it wanted to block the southward movement of the Liangzhou army. A large part of the reason why the Liangzhou army was able to be blocked by the northern army was also because he was not very optimistic about the situation in the imperial capital at present. When the situation is still unclear, Dong Zhuo in the north is happy to continue to spend in the north.
When Bai Yulou mentioned the Liangzhou Army, Zhang Bai's face changed slightly. When the Liangzhou army went south, Zhang Bai was very excited for a long time, and the strong combat effectiveness of the Liangzhou army was enough to change the situation in the imperial capital. But to Zhang Bai's surprise, the powerful Liangzhou Army was blocked in the north by the Northern Corps of the Shenwu Army, which was less than one-third of his strength. What made Zhang Bai even more annoyed was the attitude of the Eight Great Emperors, who had a strong force but Yuzhou did not make any great achievements, and he was not even able to mobilize the garrison of his Northern Tiger Pass to the north.
"Whether Dong Zhuo can grasp this opportunity or not, you and I don't know, after all, the Northern Army of the Shenwu Army is definitely not a decoration. Their combat effectiveness is also very strong, and the leader is still Wang Qian, it is very difficult for Dong Zhuo to get any bargain from him, and even wants to go south to attack the imperial capital, I am afraid that Wang Jian will not easily let them go south. Zhang Bai's tone revealed a hint of helplessness, he had always controlled the net, and he had a detailed investigation of the generals under Liu Fan's command. Liu Fan's employment is very distinctive, that is, only talent is used.
Wang Jian can be said to have played no role under Liu Fan's command, or what a beautiful battle he fought, but everyone knows Wang Qian's status in Liu Fan's mind. Liu Fan's ability to use generals can be said to be unmatched in the entire empire. Li Jing blocked several waves of powerful enemy attacks with a weak force, and Han Xin commanded the army under Liu Fan to win successive battles, and now he has beaten the army of the eight imperial merchants in Yuzhou to the ground. In addition, Chen Qingzhi, Zhou Yu, Zheng He, Yue Fei and others are also eye-catching. Wang Qian, this person's position in Liu Fan's mind is so important, then his talent must not be underestimated, at least Dong Zhuo wants to defeat the Northern Army It may not be an easy task.
"Since that's the case, I'll take my leave, now that it's almost dawn, I think my people should also enter the Imperial Capital City and start acting, I will wait for Zhang Gongzi's good news in the city. Bai Yulou said to Zhang Bai with a smile, it doesn't matter to him what Dong Zhuo does, what he has to do now is to kill Liu Fan. When the news of the Hades Sect and the marriage reached the Demon Sect, it completely made Bai Yulou angry, he had been trying to integrate the strength of the Demon Sect and the Hades Sect all these years, but he had never solved their most critical link, that is, Shi Julan.
Bai Yulou's heart was very angry, as long as he could marry Shi Julan, he could get the strength of the entire Hades King Sect, at that time, they could easily get a large number of masters and precious martial arts classics, and his Bai Yulou's skills could go further, and the whole world would tremble because of his Bai Yulou. But Shi Ling married Shi Julan to Liu Fan. This made Bai Yulou completely angry. This clashed with his jihua eyes.
Black Imperial Palace. Hundreds of soldiers at the south gate of the imperial capital were looking around vigilantly. Several captains and their subordinates suddenly appeared above the city, and the captain who was on duty at the head of the city obviously felt a lot of confusion when he saw several colleagues appear here at the same time. The lieutenant hurriedly greeted him and walked up with doubts. The captain in the lead took a token out of his bosom and said a few words to the captain who was on duty, and the captain frowned, and finally left with his men.
"The appointed time has not yet come, let the brothers take control of the main roads, and at the same time send a signal to the outside of the city for their army to start moving. The captain in the lead said to the captains who followed, and the captains immediately nodded and quickly commanded the soldiers under their command to control every key road. Blocking all kinds of miscellaneous materials at the city gates. The rest of the soldiers immediately looked around vigilantly, monitoring the nearby patrolling troops. They were waiting, waiting for the signal from the other side of the water gate.
On the other side of the water gate, the water ghosts that emerged from the waterway have taken control of most of the water gate. There are not many defenders of the Water Gate, but these soldiers are extremely vigilant, and the strength of the water ghosts is very strong, but the defenders of the Water Gate are very heavily guarded. They want to sneak up and kill these people, and they also have to take a certain risk. At the same time, a large number of troops outside the city have begun to be put in place, and as soon as the city gates are opened, they will rush directly into the city to fight the enemy.
"Captain, something doesn't seem right over there. Although the city gate was very tightly defended, there was absolutely no such situation where four or five lieutenants were waiting for the city gate at the same time. A team commander frowned and stepped forward to his lieutenant. The palace is still fighting, everyone here is very nervous, and the sudden appearance of this abnormal scene on the head of the city naturally makes everyone extremely nervous.
"There's nothing wrong with it, this is a heavily defended area, the Five Cities Terracotta Division and our Imperial Capital Corps have a large number of troops patrolling here, if there is anything abnormal, they will find it at the first time. The lieutenant's brows furrowed and said to the soldiers under his command, although the lieutenant's heart was very confused, but the captain's words were also leaky, and there was no suspicious point at all.
"Don't be suspicious, if it's really the general's top secret, it's not something we can know now. The lieutenant said helplessly, glanced back at the city, looked at the torches looming on the city, and suddenly a trace of heaviness flashed in his heart, and he pulled over a team commander and said: "You take a few people to the division commander to ask for instructions, to see if there is really any special task today, we are here now." ”
"No. The captain hurried to the barracks with several soldiers, while the captain stayed where he was with his soldiers, hiding in the shadows, waiting for the commander to arrive. Apparently he hadn't noticed an imperceptible glint in the manager's eyes as he left. Soon the captain walked back and whispered a few words to the captain, who finally let go of his doubts and returned to the barracks with his army.
In the night, the black-clothed and black-armored army was so stealthy that the defenders of Deshengmen lit several special torches on the city, and soon the heavy gate creaked open with the cooperation of hundreds of soldiers. The army that had been waiting outside the city for a long time suddenly poured in like a tide, and the soldiers' hurried footsteps stepped on the sturdy bluestone slabs in the imperial capital city and there was a creaking sound.
"Where's the army? "When a captain of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division walked by with his soldier Deshengmen, he suddenly saw that there were many more troops on the street for some reason, and the expressions of these people were a little abnormal, and what made the commander feel even more strange was that there was a sound of shaking on the ground.
"Do it!" Before the team commander could understand what was going on, he was suddenly cut to the ground by his own people who were in front of him. The team commander looked unwilling, and the soldiers who followed behind him were suddenly startled, and hurriedly raised the weapons in their hands to meet their own people.
Tick-tock, the sound of the horse's hooves suddenly resounded throughout the imperial capital, and the sound of fighting instantly sounded in the city. All the soldiers held high their weapons in their hands in the chaos and fought with the enemy, and the entire imperial capital suddenly became chaotic, especially the battle near Desheng Gate was even more inexplicable.
"Enemy attack! enemy attack! enemy attack!" The city was full of shouts and killings, and the sound of war drums soon resounded throughout the imperial capital, this time the war drums were more urgent, but they were interrupted after a short period of time, but it was this short war drum sound, and all the soldiers in the imperial capital knew that the enemy had entered the city.
