Chapter 203: The Pawn That Turns Over the Clouds
The emperor is mighty.
Indeed, for the civil and military officials, there is only a vast amount left of the troubled think tank Gu Chunqiu, and the old friends who have been together for decades have no imperial authority to speak of.
He is different from the civil and military officials, a person who has produced an empire in troubled times, not to mention whether he wears the same pants as Chu Quan, the relationship between the two is by no means as simple as one person pedaling a trouser leg.
Gu Chunqiu's back did not wait for the sound of flattening, and he straightened his waist by himself, although he was straight, he still bent a little, compared with the Ninety-Five Supreme on the dragon chair, he did bend his back a lot, and the whole person was a little shorter.
The culprit in the eyes of the civil and military officials stood fixed in the place that belonged to him, but basically did not stand for a long time, put his hands on his lower abdomen, and stood there without saying a word. If it doesn't like the eye, it won't be anyone's trouble now.
100,000 soldiers and horses are coming to Luoyang City, no matter how you look at it, it is a matter of urgency, and it is much stronger than being stubborn with the old fox.
"Your Majesty, the rebellious king of the northwest is now in the city, and I hope that Your Majesty will want to retreat from the enemy. ”
"Your Majesty, I am willing to take the only remaining troops out of the city to meet the battle, and I need Your Majesty's approval. ”
"Your Majesty, what the general said is very true, if General Wang goes out of the city to resist and delay, Your Majesty will recall the eldest prince, if it is delayed until the reinforcements arrive, it will be a clever plan, and it can also relieve the trouble of besieging the city. ”
Several civil and military generals stepped forward to meet and slander, all of which were strategies to defend the city and break the enemy, and they could not see the importance of Luoyang City to them personally, and even to the clan behind them.
The Ninety-Five Supreme, who was high above, did not speak, but just looked at those people intently, without saying a word or expressing a single expression.
This gesture and insight, made the civil and military officials anxious, if the rebels did not do anything to besiege the city now, wouldn't it be to give up their own good country.
"Your Majesty, please think again. ”
The official who had come forward to ask for advice knelt on the ground and buried his head on the ground, shouting with tears of heart.
How can other officials be made of paper, and now the civil and military officials of the court have become water droplets, gradually merging together from the original discord, and forming a pool from the water droplets.
"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"
“......”
The civil and military officials knelt on the ground one after another, and the six words were just six words that had a deafening effect, hovering in the entire Jinluan Palace, floating in the palace through the solemn red wall tile roof.
Even the guards outside the door, the eunuchs and palace maids next to the carved dragon, all raised their eyes to look at the Jinluan Hall at a distance of hundreds of officials, and in their panicked eyes, they were waiting for an answer that had nothing to do with it.
Chu Quan, the king of a generation, looked at the unity of the hundred officials for the only time, and the cold and serious mold had a mood that did not match the atmosphere at this time, and he was smiling.
The kneeling civil and military officials, and the true son of heaven who didn't say a word, all gave the whole hall a very different atmosphere. Even the national teacher, who used to have a lot of intrigues and tricks, is now really like an old fox, squinting and standing aside, especially the appearance of his hands, really thinking of a hidden fox.
Chu Quan closed his eyes, and simply came out of sight and out of mind, the ministers were still kneeling, the people in the city were still panicked, and the 100,000 troops outside Luoyang City were still ready to go.
Outside Luoyang City, in a no-man's corner outside the barracks, the man hidden in the haze looked at the smoke above Luoyang City, and his vague eyes revealed a bloodthirsty light.
If he were a wolf, he would be hungry.
In the commander's barracks, in the barracks where singing and dancing are not exaggerated, Chu Lian, the king of the northwest, is still sitting on it, his fingers tapping on the wooden table without rhythm, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, there is no pattern at all.
He was waiting and thinking again, why he easily pressed the troops to Luoyang City, and why his own brother, the dead fox who knew everything like a god, had not taken action to meet the enemy so far.
"Lord Wang, give the order to attack the city. ”
General Hou opened the road in front of the tent and took the initiative to step forward and hold his fist.
The expression of eagerness to try can be seen from everyone's eyes, and the naked desire for power is naturally the biggest driving force for them to rebel and wave their troops to the north.
Now that the army is approaching the city, how can there be any reason not to attack or occupy.
Everyone has a beast of desire in their hearts, but this beast is also a cowardly beast. Many generals who crusaded against the north, where did they think about the rebellion many years ago, this kind of idea of not being too quick to lose their heads, I am afraid that if I have a few more courages, I will not dare to take it on myself.
It wasn't until Chu Lian personally came to visit, with a tea as the guide and gold as the truth, that the roundworm in their hearts was gradually lured, the worm called the desire of the powerful, from the darkest place in their hearts, was gradually lured, and finally blatantly exposed.
Chu Lian looked at the people under his command, unabashedly the ambition in his heart, the joy that had already seeped out of his body, and covered up the most basic fears on the battlefield, so he had to put down the only remaining strangeness in his heart and wave his arms.
"Siege. ”
Several generals received the order and left in a hurry.
"Whew-"
The sound of a few quick swords unsheathed resounded throughout the camp, and several generals who took the lead fell in a pool of blood in Chu Lian's eyes full of surprise.
The fatal wounds were all on the neck, and the incisions were so deep that they even exposed white bones, which were obviously fatal blows, and did not give them a chance to escape with serious injuries.
"What are you doing?" Chu Lian yelled.
The remaining generals who had not moved before did not withdraw the bloodstained long sword in their hands, and still held it diagonally in their hands, and the conspiracy that had been hidden in their eyes for a long time was revealed.
"I'm sorry Lord Wang, I'm afraid Luoyang City won't be able to attack it today. The man who wiped the blood from his face said in a deep voice.
Chu Lian quickly reacted: "You are the spies inserted by Chu Quan, I have checked your details, it is impossible to have an affair with Chu Quan." ”
"When you found us, Lord Wang, we really didn't know His Majesty at that time, but it doesn't mean that we won't look for us in the future, after all, people with high bids can naturally drive us. ”
What did he promise you?Chu Quan shouted unwillingly.
"Lord Wang, does it still matter now?"
Several people with long swords pressed forward, and the long swords in their hands emitted a cold glow.
"I think you can kill me with just a few of you, don't forget that there are 100,000 soldiers and horses outside, can you run away?"
After hearing this, several people sneered, still holding the long sword and slowly pressing in.
"Come on, take down these thieves. Chu Lian shouted loudly outside the tent.
Soon, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the tent, and many soldiers rushed into the tent with weapons, and the scene was somewhat chaotic.
Seeing that the rescuers had arrived, Chu Lian pointed to the few people holding the sword, and said sternly: "Arrest these people, I will peel them and cramp them, so that they know the price of eating inside and out." ”
The soldiers who rushed into the tent did not listen to the military orders of the king of the northwest, and they all stood in place with their troops, with a cold look on their faces, which made Chu Lian a little uncomfortable. A few people with swords sneered, looking at the prince who drove the soldiers not to move, how should the play be played next.
Chu Lian felt that the big thing was not good, but he still spoke patiently and luckily: "What are you doing, quickly take down these people." ”
The scene was still deserted, except for the old man who gave orders, everyone present looked at the poor tiger quietly.
"Don't waste your efforts, they won't listen to you. There was a response from outside the tent, and the young man in the brocade clothes and jade crown who was incompatible with the armor of the military camp slowly walked into the tent and stood behind the soldiers.
Chu Lian looked at the young man who came slowly, with an unconcealed meaning in his eyes, and it was his son, the little prince Chu Ding.
"You did it!"
Chu Ding didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "That's right, I made it to the ghost." ”
Chu Ding, who had a blatant conversation with the great enemy in this life for the first time, obviously had a hot and excited look in his eyes.
"Your original henchmen outside the tent are either removed by me, or they are rebelled, you can shout with confidence, except for the soldiers in front of the battle line, no one can save you. Chu Ding said excitedly.
"Do you know what you're doing, you rebel!" Chu Lian scolded loudly.
The rest of the people were silent, watching the father and son bite each other, they also wanted to see the old wolf and the hungry little wolf, which was more ruthless.
"Father, how can I not know what I am doing, isn't part of your current failure done by me!"
"You've always said I'm a waste! I don't know if it has disappointed you this time?
Chu Ding laughed wildly, and his laughter was mixed with countless happy meanings.
