Chapter 479: The robe is bloody, and the bones are hateful
Three days later, a piece of news that surprised Lin Yu and Xu Ming at the same time came over.
Liang Cheng, the former commander of Hanguguan, led an army of 150,000 under his command, surrendered to Xia Guogong, and was temporarily named the general of Pinglu, serving under his account!
In Zhengzhou City, almost all the soldiers expressed their unacceptability to this sudden thing. The demon whose hands were covered with the blood of their robed brothers a few days ago turned out to be the brother they would live and die together in the blink of an eye. No one else can accept such a funny thing.
Zhongmu City is very close to Zhengzhou City, so many families have relatives there. Although they don't usually come and go, no matter how close they are, they are all slaughtered now. Naturally, we have to react a little, otherwise, how is it different from a beast?
So when Xia Guogong and his army came to Zhengzhou City, the city gate was crowded with demonstrators, all shouting at the top of their voices: Kill Liang Cheng, a beast, and swear not to let him enter the city. Many people still have eggs and rotten greens in their hands.
Seeing this scene, Xia Guogong was furious, and shouted: "Get out of the way for me, do you want to rebel?"
Seeing this scene, Liang Cheng couldn't help but feel a little weak in his heart, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "Guogong, why don't I stay outside the city first, so as not to cause you some unnecessary trouble." ”
Xia Guogong snorted angrily, waved his hand, and shouted: "No, a group of Diao people, and they can't be turned against them!"
After finishing speaking, Xia Guogong roared loudly, "Where is Xia Xiongwei, the captain of the pro-soldiers?"
Before Xia Guogong's voice fell, a middle-aged man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist walked out with a giant axe, and responded respectfully: "The last general!"
Xia Guogong pointed to the people gathered at the city gate, and shouted angrily: "If anyone dares to block the road of this prison army, they will be dealt with according to the rebels, and there will be no mercy!"
"Yes, the last general obeys!" Xia Xiongwei hurriedly responded.
Hearing the captain's order, hundreds of personal soldiers immediately stepped forward and stood in a row, all of them showing their bright weapons, and even the archers were ready.
Seeing this scene, Liang Cheng couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, it seemed that he had defected to Xia Guogong, which was really a correct choice. However, just when he thought he was proud, several familiar figures appeared in his sight, making him shiver all over.
At this time, the people who were still bustling at the city gate automatically flashed a path in the middle. Lin Hao and a group of more than 30 people came out of it.
Lin Hao stepped forward and bowed slightly to Xia Guogong and said, "Xia Guogong is polite." ”
Xia Guogong also replied lightly, then pointed to the people gathered, and said with a straight face: "Lin Gong, I don't know what this means?"
As soon as Yan Yun next to him saw Liang Cheng, his black eyes began to flash a cold light. If the eyes can kill, I'm afraid that even if Liang Cheng has ten chrysanthemums, he will have to bloom in the sky.
"Why should Xia Guogong ask more, these people are all relatives or friends of the people who died in Zhongmu City, and they gathered here today, just to get justice for the victims!" Yan Yun didn't care about anything at this time, his expression was like frost, and he responded angrily.
"Presumptuous, who are you, how dare you be so rude to the Lord of the Prison Army!" Xia Xiongwei immediately raised his giant axe and shouted angrily.
Seeing this scene, Ah Feng was afraid that this big man would hurt Yan Yun, so he glanced at him disdainfully, and sneered: "I said friend, you are a middle-aged man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and you treat a junior who is only seventeen or eighteen like this, don't you know how to write the two words "Lu Dao and shame?"
Xia Xiongwei has always been a crab, and he has always walked sideways. Now that he was so humiliated in front of his master, he was furious for a while, and after screaming a few times angrily, he swung a giant axe and slashed at Ah Feng.
However, before Xia Xiongwei could react to what was going on, he only heard a "bang", and the giant axe in his hand was already flying in the air.
And he hasn't even seen how this unremarkable young man in black drew his knife!
Thinking of these, Xia Xiongwei couldn't help but secretly take a breath of cool air, he didn't expect that he would meet such a tricky person when he wanted to be majestic.
Xia Guogong's personal soldiers saw that their captain had suffered a loss, and they all raised their bright weapons one after another, pointing at Ah Feng and Yan Yun.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yu had a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "I said Captain Xia, it's just a matter of learning martial arts, so it's not like this." This is a joke for everyone. ”
Immediately, Lin Yu turned to Xia Guogong again and asked, "Xia Guogong, do you say this is the reason?"
Lin Yu's identity at this time is the commander of the three armies, and he is the supreme commander here, and even a figure like Xia Guogong has to give him a little thin face.
Xia Guogong glared at Xia Xiongwei angrily, and shouted: "Useless things will be embarrassing, and you won't give me a retreat!"
With Xia Guogong's shout, Xia Xiongwei and those personal soldiers took three or five steps back.
Lin Yu took two steps forward at this time, showed a cold smile at Liang Cheng, and said, "Brother Yi, don't come unharmed, I didn't expect us to meet again here!"
When Liang Cheng saw Lin Yu, his heart was shrouded in thousands of rolling dark clouds, and he couldn't help but tremble, and his voice trembled slightly: "Lin Yu...... Brother...... Don't come...... Unharmed......"
"Presumptuous, can the name of this handsome be called directly? Come on, drag Liang Cheng down for me, and punish me with fifty canes, to set an example!" Lin Yu suddenly put away the cold smile on the corner of his mouth and replaced it with a solemn expression.
"This ...... Xia Guogong ......" Liang Cheng didn't expect Lin Yu to turn his face on the spot, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he hurriedly turned his attention to Xia Guogong for help.
Yan Yun had long wanted to kill Liang Cheng to avenge his hatred, but now he was even more like a chicken blood, excitedly beckoning a few pro-soldiers to step forward, planning to tie Liang Cheng up directly.
Seeing this scene, Xia Guogong's expression was full of cold anger, and then he shifted his gaze to Lin Yu and Lin Hao, and said: "Marshal Lin, Lin Gong, Liang Cheng is a first-time offender, give me a face, how about exempting the cane punishment?"
Lin Hao smiled and yawned, and said, "Xia Guogong's words are serious, Marshal Lin is just joking with Liang Cheng!"
Hearing Lin Hao call Lin Yu Marshal Lin, Liang Cheng's heart trembled even more, and he didn't know how to deal with it.
Lin Yu's clear eyes flashed with a gleam, stared at Liang Cheng, and said, "Brother Yi, I haven't seen you for a long time, just kidding, don't be surprised!"
Hearing Lin Yu say this, Liang Cheng couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief in his heart. Not to mention the fifty cane punishment, even five cane punishment, you can also beat your rotten chrysanthemums like the dregs and cabbage that have been gnawed by pigs.
Lin ...... Forest...... Marshal...... ......Liang Cheng originally wanted to call Lin Yu, but before the word "Yu" could be spit out, he hurriedly changed his words and responded in a trembling voice.
After nearly half an hour of stalemate, under the influence of Zheng Anliang, the prefect of Zhengzhou, Liang Cheng finally entered the city.
But as soon as he stepped into the city gate, he regretted entering it a little. At this time, whether it was the soldiers under Lin Yu who looked at him with murderous intent, even the unarmed people, those eyes were eager to twitch his tendons, pick his skin, drink his blood, and eat his flesh to relieve his anger. If it weren't for so many guards escorting, I'm afraid I would have been stoned to death by rotten eggs and rotten vegetables.
In order to weaken Lin Yu's strength, before lunch, Xia Guogong directly read out the holy decree and asked Lin Hao to return to Beijing immediately.
After Lin Hao and Lin Yu briefly explained a few words, in order to avoid causing some unnecessary trouble, they didn't even eat lunch, and were directly escorted back to Beijing by a team of 100 personal soldiers.
"Brother Lin, Liang Cheng is the devil who slaughtered 100,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of unarmed people in Zhongmu City, we won't really have to fight side by side with him in the future, right?" After separating from Xia Guogong and the others, Yan Yun said a little as if he was crazy.
Ah Feng also felt very awkward, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Lin, do you want me to assassinate him directly?"
Lin Yu paused for a moment, shook his head, and said, "No, this will leave a false pretext for Xia Guogong and them, and it will do us a hundred harms but no good for our counterinsurgency!"
Before Lin Yu's words fell, Yan Yun began to roar again: "Brother Lin, if you are worried that you will cause unnecessary trouble because of the assassination of Liang Cheng? Then my brother-in-law and I will go and kill him, we will leave directly, no matter how powerful he is in Xia Guogong, he can't help us." ”
Lin Yu's expression was slightly solemn, and he said: "No, since Liang Cheng can come up with such a legal way to take refuge, then we will use the other way to repay the other and let him eat the bitter fruit." ”
After Ah Feng and Yan Yun heard this, their expressions were shocked, and they asked in unison, "Brother Lin, have you thought of a way to kill Liang Cheng?"
Lin Yu nodded slightly, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said coldly: "Well, borrow a knife to kill!"
Yan Yun was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Borrowing a knife to kill someone, who is borrowing a knife?"
Ah Feng took over and responded: "Who else can there be, it's either Xu Ming or Xia Guogong!"
Lin Yu smiled coldly, and pretended to be mysterious: "Don't guess, you will know the Tao in a few days." ”
In the next few days, Lin Yu has been preparing for the army's food and grass supplies, as well as mobilizing troops from all over the world, saying that he is preparing to attack Luoyang City.
Although Xia Guogong and Lin Yu have different political views, their goals at this time are also the same. After all, his precious son is still locked up in the prison at this time! Although King Fu, Jinyiwei and Dongchang all said that they would help take care of it, so that he could rest assured. But in prison, he was never reassured.
So at this time, he also wanted to recover Luoyang City as soon as possible and completely defeat the rebels. Therefore, although he didn't give much support to what Lin Yu wanted to do, he didn't make trouble.
Lin Yu and Xia Guogong are safe, and Liang Cheng's life is a little difficult. The chrysanthemums are rotten like the dregs and cabbage that have been gnawed by pigs, and the doctor is still worried that Lin Yu and others are doing ghosts in it. If you don't ask for a doctor, it's really painful, and I'm humming and moaning in pain all day long.
Ten days later, an order came to Liang Cheng, who had just shown signs of healing, to burst and bloom again.
Counterinsurgency Marshal Lin Yu gathered 200,000 infantry, 50,000 auxiliaries, 50,000 cavalry, plus others, a total of 330,000 troops, and set out to go to the Tiger Prison Pass to attack Luoyang City!
It was Lin Yu himself who served as the general vanguard, but Lin Yu specified that he wanted him to be a deputy general, saying that he had been in Hangu Pass near Luoyang City and was more familiar with the terrain. And there is also Ah Feng, who can be called a killing god, and Yan Yun, who hates him to the bone.
What made him even more angry was that this was obviously Lin Yu's deliberate trick, and Xia Guogong actually agreed to it. Of course, in order to prevent Lin Yu from secretly cheating, Xia Guogong did not take any precautions. It's just that he just sent one, named Pan Shiyong, to accompany him.
However, in Liang Cheng's eyes, this Pan Shiyong is simply a chicken rib. Not to mention that Lin Yu wanted to kill himself, even if Yan Yun and Ah Feng wanted to kill themselves, he couldn't stop them at all. It seems that if you want to survive, you have to find another way!
Thinking of this, Liang Cheng couldn't help but let out a long sigh, his black eyes were a little gloomy, and he stared at the direction of Luoyang City for a long time......
