"A desperate battle?" said the Queen Mother gloomily, "The emperor doesn't need to comfort the mourning family, if Ye Lufeng attacks in, with our people, we will have no power to resist." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Don't worry, the person Ye Lufeng wants to deal with is me, as long as the queen mother leaves the palace, Ye Lu Feng will not do anything to you. ”

"The children of the mourning family are here, the whole family of the mourning family is here, and the mourning family is not going anywhere. The Queen Mother said resolutely.

"Queen Mother!" the emperor saw that the queen mother was insistent and no longer persuaded him. But in his heart, he had already made up his mind.

"Your Majesty! "The emperor was sitting in the imperial study late at night, and there was a guard outside the door.

"Quick pass. The Emperor hurriedly cheered up.

"General Wei in the northeast, General Zuo in the south, General Ding in the southeast, and General Wang in the west led 10,000 troops to King Qin. The guard reads the letter from the border gate.

"What!" the emperor slapped his palm on the table, "Who told them to call the shots and transfer troops back to Beijing?" ”

---The guards were frightened by the emperor's reaction and were speechless for a while.

The Emperor snatched the letter from his hand.

"Qi to play the emperor, Wulin Yuan sent more than 1,000 people from the Wulin Sect under its jurisdiction to come to our station to support, we thought of the danger of the capital, made a claim, led the troops to Qinwang, and so on to repel the enemy army, and then asked for responsibility. --- paused. ”

The emperor was blindfolded when he saw the words on the letter.

Shangguan Yunrui, for the sake of my imperial power and the court, I did not hesitate to kill your junior brother, but you can still do it for me and for this court?

-------

"Alliance leader, can these more than 1,000 troops really resist those enemy troops at the border pass?" Mei Songzhu was a little puzzled by Shangguan Yunrui's order to summon the martial arts people in the border pass territory to protect the border pass.

"The alliance leader did not send the people to the battlefield to let them go to war. Lu Lingyue said on the side, "Except for Tart Xue, there is a huge disparity between the strength of several other small countries and Huachen, and they will not act rashly." The alliance leader sent these people to tell those small border countries that Huachen's rivers and lakes and the imperial court are together, and they should not think that they can compete with each other for profit. ”

Shangguan Yunrui nodded, "Brother Lu can always be deeply involved in my mind." I arranged people from various sects in the hope of giving a warning to those small countries that were about to move, Huachen was not something they could covet as easily as they thought. ”

"The most surprised by the alliance leader's move should be the emperor on the dragon chair. Lu Lingyue smiled.

"If it weren't for the fact that he was Jian Chen's own brother, and this matter was a matter of national survival, I, Shangguan Yunrui, would not have paid attention to the affairs of those people in the imperial court. Shangguan Yunrui said hatefully.

"But now we have to worry about whether those reinforcements will arrive in time. Lu Lingyue said.

"So, we have to try our best to help the emperor hold Ye Lufeng back. So that the reinforcements can arrive in time, and when the time comes, 40,000 reinforcements plus 20,000 defenders in the capital, plus some sects in the capital, can compete with Ye Lufeng's army. ”

"But don't forget that Ye Lufeng still has that difficult weapon in his hand--- Fire Dragon Car!" Mei Songzhu reminded.

Shangguan Yunrui remembered that Chen Jian almost lost his life in order to destroy these dragon cars.

"Those fire carts are really difficult to deal with, and it looks like we're going to have to find a way to break them all. Shangguan Yunrui said thoughtfully.

In Pingyang County, the streets and alleys have been filled with all kinds of short and long streams recently.

"That handsome guard of Pingyang Mansion turned out to be the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance. ”

"No wonder the martial arts are so superb. I said at the beginning, how could he just be a little guard. ”

"But I heard that he has been executed by the emperor. ”

"Executed?"

Didn't the officers and men put up a notice saying that he had committed the great crime of treason. ”

"No, didn't he always help us out when he was in Pingyang Mansion?

"I also heard that in fact--- he is actually the brother of the current emperor, because the emperor was afraid that he would affect his position, so he executed him on a charge. ”

"There's going to be such a thing, where did you hear that?"

"Aren't those nursery rhymes sung? ”

"Then if that's the case, this emperor is too cruel. ”

"Who's to say it's not, in the royal family, this kind of thing is very common. ”

"Hey, it's a pity, a guard who was so good at the beginning is gone. ”

"yes--"

Shangguan Yunrui walked in Pingyang County, and this kind of whispering could be heard everywhere.

When he first heard this, Shangguan Yunrui was overjoyed, but after calming down, he felt that this nursery rhyme was not normal.

This nursery rhyme is a bit deliberately arranged, and the timing is not right.

At this moment when the war is about to start, spreading this kind of rumor is to make the emperor lose the support of the people, and this person's ambition is obvious.

The nursery rhyme seems to have come from the border pass, and it is obvious that Ye Lufeng did it, but he is far away at the border pass, why does he know so well about the affairs of the capital?

Don't?

"Your Majesty, it's a big --- and it's not going to be good---" A soldier came running from outside.

"What's the alarm?" the Emperor was planning the new commander of the Imperial Guards at the table.

Since Yan Songhe disappeared, some of his lieutenant generals who were originally close to him were all sentenced for the crime of rebellion, and now the imperial forest army and the capital garrison of the imperial court are leaderless, and in order to deal with Ye Lufeng's army, it is necessary to find a person who knows how to march and fight.

"The four generals encountered unknown poisonous smoke on the way back to Beijing, and the 40,000-strong army was currently unable to move on the road. ”

"What!" the emperor was stunned. "Is there a loss of troops?"

"The urgent report said that the rescue was timely, and the poison had been resolved, but it was delayed, and it was estimated that it would be too late to return to Beijing. ”

When the reinforcements came, they had calculated the time day and night, but now because of this poison, the progress has been slowed down, and it must be too late.

Calculating the distance, Ye Lufeng's army will arrive in two days, and it seems that he will have to rearrange the deployment.

However, in just two days, I am afraid that there is no way to return to the sky.

The emperor sat down in his chair with a grim expression.

The same news was placed in front of Shangguan Yunrui almost at the same time.

"If we don't have reinforcements, how can we resist Yelufeng's army. "Mei Songzhu is very anxious.

Shangguan Yunrui had been pondering and did not speak.

Suddenly, he looked up.

"Perhaps, we should take a different approach, and we have been too reactive in this matter. Shangguan Yunrui said.

"What does the alliance leader mean?" Lu Lingyue asked.

"Why don't we take the initiative and find a way to get things ready for them here. ”

"The alliance leader wants to go to Ye Lufeng's base camp?" Lu Lingyue said.

"Yes, Ye Lufeng has been playing tricks to hinder our reinforcements, why don't we learn from him and drag him down?"

"This plan is very good, but Yelufeng's military camp is heavily guarded, and it is too dangerous for the alliance leader to go alone. "Mei Songzhu Road.

"It's okay, capture the thief and capture the king first, I just need to capture Ye Lufeng's guy, and I don't need to fight against his army. Shangguan Yunrui said.

"I'm going with you. Yelu Wan'er, who had been standing by the side, spoke.

Shangguan Yunrui looked at her hesitantly, "I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you to go, he is your brother after all." ”

"It's because he's my brother that I'm going. "I want to persuade him one last time." ”

Shangguan Yunrui was silent for a while, and finally nodded.

"So, let's go at once. Brother Lu," Shangguan Yunrui turned to Lu Lingyue, "The affairs of Wulin Yuan are handed over to you. You have to pay special attention to Yan Songhe in the prison, and don't let him escape. ”

"The subordinates obeyed. Lu Lingyue gave up.

At this moment, Ye Lufeng's army marched into another city.

"Your Majesty, tomorrow at sunset, we will be able to reach Pingyang County. The adjutant general came to report to Ye Lufeng, who was writing something in the tent.

"Tomorrow?" Ye Lufeng smiled, "Tomorrow will be the most glorious day in my tart snow in decades." ”

"How's the army getting in order?" asked Yelufeng.

"When the soldiers heard that Huachen Kyoto was about to be captured tomorrow, they were very excited and their morale was greatly boosted. The adjutant general's face was beaming.

"On the last night, the soldiers should not be taken lightly. Ye Lufeng said, "Also, take good care of those fire dragon cars, and never allow any mistakes." ”

"Yes, the last general commanded. The lieutenant departed.

In the camp prison, Shen Zheng and Chen Zhongliang were very worried.

"I heard that I will be able to reach Pingyang County tomorrow. Chen Zhongliang said. "Could it be that our Huachen is really going to break the country?"

"You're right!" Outside the door, Ye Lufeng strode in.

"Tonight is your last chance, if you still refuse to surrender, tomorrow when I attack Pingyang County, I will take your heads and sacrifice the flag!"

"The country is dying, what's the use of a husband?" Shen Zheng stood up and said, "When the time comes, we don't need you to do anything, we will kill ourselves and die for the country!"

Looking at Shen Zheng, who was full of righteousness, Ye Lufeng smiled.

"People say that General Shen is heroic and dry, and it seems that it is true today, a general like you who is upright and unyielding, and knows how to lead troops to fight, we really need Tart. ”

"Let me be a traitor, you don't have delusions. Shen Zheng said angrily.

"Good birds break trees and perch on trees, your emperor for his own selfish desires, regardless of brotherhood, repaying virtue with resentment, and designing to kill his own brother, such an emperor, why should you serve him?"

"Isn't the king also for his own selfish desires, using Jian Chen to eradicate dissidents, and crossing the river to demolish bridges, what qualifications do you have for me to follow you!" Chen Zhongliang also got up and said.

"It seems that we can't talk about it tonight. Ye Lufeng looked at the two who were glaring at him and shook his head.

"Tonight is your last night, enjoy your last night on earth. Captain Yelu Feng smiled and walked out of the prison door.

Shen Zheng and Chen Zhongliang looked at Ye Lufeng with sad expressions.

The night was deep, and Ye Lufeng's tent was already silent, except for the soldiers who were on the night watch, shuttling back and forth between the various battalion commanders, the other soldiers were already asleep.

And at this moment, inside Ye Lufeng's big tent, a man in black sneaked in.
