I'm not Murong Chong

Kui Ye, Hou Qin Xiao cavalry general Wu Zhong was still wearing armor, looking down at the man kneeling at his feet: "When I entered our barracks, did anyone else see me?" With a dusty look on his face, he skillfully saluted Wu Zhong, and immediately responded: "Don't worry, General, the last general has been pretending to be a refugee from the chaos since he retreated from Shiping City, and no one has seen the late general come in. "Wu Zhong knew that the school lieutenant had always been meticulous in his work, and he could be regarded as one of his confidantes for many years, so he nodded slightly and said: "If it weren't for your prudence, I wouldn't dare to teach you how to do this. "Yao Shuode is such a thorny head that he doesn't like oil and salt and doesn't eat hard and soft. He doesn't want to and can't afford to provoke him, but he didn't expect Yao Song to be able to get rid of Yin Wei, who is an eye-catching stumbling block. "Young master, do you have a letter? "

The captain stretched his hands into his bosom, took out a fold of warm silk from his close body, and offered it with both hands, but couldn't help but said: "It's too risky for you to call us this time, young master! It is not enough for soldiers of the Wu army to instigate rebellion against the rogues and thieves who have already surrendered. We have to put on the armor of the rebels as chasers and be led all the way to Yao Shuode's army-there are dozens of brothers, but none of them came back !" He felt sorry for his siblings—before accepting the mission, he had been in close contact with Yao Song once, and that was the first time he had seen such a beautiful man, with a pair of peach blossom eyes looking forward, but the words he uttered were very strange. He is vicious and cold, he thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Young master is really as beautiful as a flower, and as poisonous as a scorpion!"

Wu Zhong had finished reading the letter at this time, and he held it gently in his palm: "You must have worked hard this journey——Little Master, have you opened this letter?!" Immediately swearing, "How dare the general look at it!" Wu Zhong nodded lightly, got up, walked past him and put his hand on his shoulder: "You are right. Yao Song is as beautiful as a flower, but as poisonous as a scorpion."

As soon as the school lieutenant turned his head in confusion, Wu Zhong raised his right hand and thrust the dagger in his sleeve into his throat!

The man staggered a few steps in disbelief, and finally fell heavily to the ground.Wu Zhong stared at the corpse condescendingly for a moment, feeling a little regretful, and said to himself: "...that little fox is still considerate, only the dead can keep secrets for the living forever, and take responsibility for this terrible relationship." It's just a pity for a talented and loyal person who can do things - but Yao Song has really impressed him so far.

How can such a person who can ruthlessly calculate his own life--in order to achieve great things, close relatives be killed--how can such a person be subdued for a long time?

In the city of Chang'an in the former Qin Dynasty

Dou Chong tore and kneaded the only pancakes he had before the case, and the concubine who was waiting on the side couldn't help but swallowed her saliva. Dou Chong glanced at her coldly, and immediately made people tremble with fear. leave.Seeing this, several staff members around him sighed and said: "The famine in Chang'an City is getting worse and worse. The soldiers' calves are trembling when they go up the tower. How long?" Dou Chong swallowed silently, and listened to others: "In fact, Chang'an City has been dilapidated after these battles. If you can protect the king and escape, it may be a way to survive."

"If the king of heaven is willing to leave, he would have left long ago. His Majesty has been wise and powerful all his life, but he is too strong and stubborn..."

"That's not necessarily—" someone among them lowered their voices and whispered: "I heard from some of the little yellow gates in front of the imperial palace that Zhang Tianshi came out with a proverb that the heavenly king must leave Chang'an to avoid this difficulty—you all know that the heavenly king People who believe in heavenly masters, when the Fu family was originally surnamed Pu at the beginning of the founding of the country, Zhang Tianshi predicted that "Caofu should be the king", and the first emperor Fu Hong accidentally noticed the "Caofu" birthmark on the heavenly king's back, so the heavenly king had to sit in the world for 20 years. Years, from now on, isn’t the Heavenly Master a living god?” “How did I hear that the Heavenly King still refused to leave, and only said that he would send the prince out of Chang’an—this is also to preserve the last bit of Fu’s bloodline. It’s just that there are Murong and Empress With Yao Shi, where can he escape?"

"No matter where you go, it's better than being trapped in a dead city! As long as the banner of the Fu family does not fall, there will always be a day when the new king ascends the throne, and the general must follow him at that time. Great meritorious minister!"

Dou Chong suddenly wiped his mouth, slapped the wooden case, stood up and said coldly: "Your father is still here, but you don't know how to hide it anymore. When did the king of heaven say that he would withdraw from Chang'an? This is a rumor! It can be dealt with by military law in an emergency of!"

Everyone immediately fell silent and looked at each other in blank dismay. Everyone knew what the situation in Chang'an was like, they were at the end of the road, and they were dragging on for a while!Fu Jian still refused to leave at this time, because he really wanted to live and die with Chang'an. Would it be impossible to let his only surviving son be buried with all civil and military officials?

Dou Chong saw that those people were buzzing around and didn't have any good ideas, so he drove them all away in one breath, and sat in front of the case to think hard.He has been with Fu Jian for nearly 20 years, how could he not know what kind of temperament he is?Gan Gang insists on going forward arbitrarily and never listens to persuasion. He is not afraid of death in battle, and would rather the emperor guard the gate of the country and the king die in the country—but if the king really dies in battle, and the prince ascends the throne, he has always hated him for being "tyrannical and domineering". Why does he have a good face?Even if he can really summon the old department and make a comeback, it has nothing to do with him!

So he sent troops to "invite" Zhang Tianshi from the top of Huashan Mountain.

Fu Jian firmly believed in Xuandao Shenzong, but he was not. Some kind of extraterrestrial expert, who had attained the Dao Sanxian, had a sword and a neck, so he obediently went down the mountain because he dared not come out of the ground.

Dou Chongyou remembered that he unfolded the map in the dark room and said to the old Taoist who was tied up by five flowers: "Chang'an can no longer be defended. Sooner or later, we will withdraw from Guanzhong and return to Longxi to summon the old Di people to make a comeback. Please advise your majesty to leave Chang'an as soon as possible." Zhang Jia was unwilling at first, and Dou Chong didn't talk nonsense. A soldier stepped forward and covered his face with a piece of wet kraft paper, and then added another one. Zhang Jia's eyes went dark, and he felt short of breath immediately. Ann, he has practiced Taoism for decades, how has he ever received such treatment, he struggled and shouted: "Dou Chong, how dare you!? What are you doing!?" Dou Chong's gloomy voice floated from afar: "I want to see the sky Is it just the immortal golden body of the master? In the troubled times, it is the fortune of the heavenly master to be able to emerge as a fairy without any injuries."

Zhang Jia struggled and resisted in the suddenly intensified suffocation until he finally succumbed, so there were such adverbs as "Jia Bing Enters the City", "Fish and Sheep Cannibal", "Emperor Out of Five Generals, Long Long", etc., every word and every sentence is pointed at Fu Jian. In my mind——probably, the old-fashioned old-fashioned people of all dynasties are not bad at catching wind, pretending to be ghosts, and making up nonsense.

But now we can't let the wind leak out, even a little rumor will become the last straw that breaks the camel's back, causing Chang'an City to collapse without a fight!And if the Qin army is defeated and retreats, it will be overtaken by the Xianbei army within a short distance, so it is necessary to find a way to hold the Xianbei army in Chang'an City as much as possible.

Tie Furen stepped into the room, saluted Dou Chong after finishing his military service, and then said: "A hundred crossbow arrows have been completed, please accept them, general!"

Dou Chong is so preoccupied at the moment, he doesn't have time to deal with such a small matter, and it's not the first time Ren Zhi has done it, and there is nothing wrong with it after checking it a few times before.Then he waved his hand and said, "Let's all carry it up to the tower." After a pause, he looked up at Renzhi: "... I didn't expect you to be quite talented in fortifications and agencies, so you're just stuck in a horse pit. Where did the Lianzhu bow and arrow come from? If it weren’t for this set of fortifications for defense, I’m afraid the city wall of Chang’an, which is riddled with holes, would have collapsed.” He was talking about another round of siege launched by the Yan army three days ago , Yang Dingxin practiced the cavalry formation, specially designed to overcome this horse pit - change the old way of heavy armor collision, light cavalry, carry a shield, fill in the pit, and one or two will fall into the pit because of its lightness. Leaped out again, and with well-trained advances and retreats, under the leadership of Yang Ding, he even once attacked the city gate. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the sound of crossbow arrows turning came from the four sides of the urn city. The clusters of arrows were approaching in front of his eyes—the speed was too fast!Yang Ding hurriedly signaled to retreat, but the unarmored knights and horses were all swept by the swift arrows that seemed to never stop, and fell to the ground one by one!

At that time, Ren Zhi accompanied Dou Chong and Li Bian and all the generals stood on the tower, looking down at Yang Ding's seldom retreated in embarrassment, and said softly: "This is the Lianzhu crossbow just modified by the last general. Zhang Gong can shoot ten bursts with one strike, and it is very lethal. Shengfan Arrows——Yang Ding is going to break through the horse pit, so he can only go into battle lightly, but the light cavalry is bound to be unable to break through the continuous arrow array that follows, and the combination of the two will at least eliminate Yang Ding's big trouble."

Thinking back to the present, Dou Chong continued to praise Yun Guan calmly, while thinking to himself, this little Hun boy is really not simple, if he is allowed to continue to climb up, the king of heaven will use him again sooner or later, but he has to guard against it.However, if this person stays in Chang'an, he can hold back for a while.

When Renzhi heard that Dou Chong was going to make him a former general, he was a little surprised—this meant that he would be on an equal footing with veteran general Li Bian, and Fu Jian could even allow such an official post. It is not correct, but it is still deeply trusted by Fu Jian.Dou Chong smiled and said again: "Afterwards, you will be responsible for the defense of Xuanping Gate. If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded, but there is one thing to know - you are here if the city is alive, and you are dead when the city is broken!" The tone of the second half of the sentence turned straight Down below, the chilly place was a little threatening, and Ren Zhi hurriedly bowed and clasped his fists and shouted yes.

The moment he lowered his head, he caught a glimpse of Dou Chong’s transfer order document that had already been added before the case—an urgent transfer of kerosene and nitrate powder throughout the city to be stored in the Weiyang Palace warehouse—the Xuanpingmen, where the competition was fiercest, and the kerosene was not enough for the rest The same is true for the four gates, the whole city is guarded and collected, and even people's homes are not allowed to open fire, so what is Dou Chong doing suddenly wanting to store so much kerosene powder in the palace?

Ren Zhenle rode in the formation, with the gold-encrusted banner behind him curled up and relaxed by the wind blowing in late autumn, drooping listlessly on the flagpole.

Gao Gai was still standing with him, and said at this time: "General Yang is afraid that he will fail again when he passes through the pass today—" Ren Zhen glanced at him slowly, "You are also like Han Yanduan, thinking that Chang'an will not be defeated? "When the two generals saw Zhenzhang's battle, they pushed it to Yang Ding, and they robbed Wubao to sweep up the army and scrambled to do it. There were still many rumors in the army led by the two, all saying that Zhang Tianshi of Huashan came out to help the former Qin Dynasty. , although Chang'an is already on the verge of collapse, it often turns the corner to safety. It seems that Qin's luck is endless.

Ren Zhen heard it by accident, and scoffed at the military law to deal with the Yan soldiers who spread the rumors—since he was born, he never believed in these strange theories.If there is such a thing as luck, changing dynasties and establishing a country will not require endless blood and countless lives in exchange for such a knife and a gun.

At this moment, there was the sound of gold ringing, and when Ren Zhen came back to his senses, he saw smoke and dust in the distance, horseshoes were flying, and Yang Ding, who was soaked in blood, had jumped to the front of the formation with his halberd and rolled off the saddle in an instant.Ren Zhen also hurriedly got off his horse and went up to meet him. Seeing Yang Ding's expression, he knew it was a failure. "Are you injured?" Ren Zhen knew that Yang Ding boasted that his skin was rough and fleshy, and he refused to say when he was injured, so he stretched out his hands and touched his whole body. Some blushed: "No, no. Today I was just exploring the camp. After a little testing, I withdrew. The cavalry did not suffer much damage. Eighteen died and more than twenty were injured."

Compared with the storm attack a few days ago, there were fewer casualties. Ren Zhen nodded, and ordered someone to help the wounded to rest. He saw a seriously wounded man with two arrows piercing his chest, and the entire front of his clothes was covered in blood. He was dyed red, fearing that it would be difficult to save him, he still said angrily with distress: "Where did the Qin army get such a powerful weapon - usually a bow and an arrow have to be changed every time, and the ten crossbows are chained, so they can't kill them." No matter how fast the cavalry is, it is difficult to escape its range! Ren Zhen frowned suddenly, and signaled the military doctor to take down the two arrows. As soon as he took them, he turned the arrow feathers over and was stunned, and then wiped them vigorously. Wiping the blood-stained arrow tails was like being shocked by an electric shock!

The wooden shaft of the arrow tail is smooth and brand new, obviously newly made, but the small "Ping" character is engraved on it!In ancient times, craftsmen often had the habit of engraving name stamps on weapons, which is not surprising at all, but this flat character should never be recognized by him, it is a simplified Chinese character that is so smooth and simple!

Seeing that Ren Zhen's expression was very different, Yang Ding hurried over, but he couldn't understand the totem on the arrow, so he just asked, "What's the meaning of that?" Covering his mouth, his whole body trembled slightly - Yang Ding was stunned, he blinked his eyes, suspecting that he saw the flash of light in Murong Chong's eyes.

Ren Zhen held the arrow shaft firmly in his palm, and sighed softly, "It's really Murong Yong." The blood-stained jade huang was wearing next to his body at the moment, with four childish words engraved on it: "Ren Zhen is safe!" ".

Yang Ding looked carefully at every arrow shot by the former Qin Dynasty. He could see that it was intentional. He couldn't help but wonder: "If it's really Murong Yong, how could he serve the former Qin Dynasty under Dou Chong's command?"

Ren Zhen paused for a moment, the Makeng and the Lianzhu crossbow were both written by Murong Yong, that is to say, these two caused countless casualties and setbacks to the Yan army, and made Chang'an city linger until now.

...Murong Yong betrayed?

impossible.He specially used the arrow to convey the message—Ren Zhen pinched the shaft of the arrow thoughtfully and pondered over it—the carving of the flat characters was not meticulous, with different shades, and it was obviously done in a hurry, but the flat characters were painted with black lacquer. The recesses of the characters are half blacked out.Naturally, this superfluous move is not for the sake of beauty, Ren Zhen suddenly raised his head and asked: "Our army has been attacking the city for three consecutive days with these arrows. Except for this morning, did you engrave this word a few days ago?" Yang Ding was busy. People checked, and finally found that only today's arrow has this mark. Ren Zhen pursed his lips and said softly: "I understand." Pointing to the black and white flat characters, he said: "This word has a deeper meaning besides indicating identity— - Yinshi! Yinshi is also called Pingdan, it is the time when day and night alternate from black to white, and what Murong Yong means is to surprise Chang'an at Yinshi tonight!"

Yang Ding was startled, but it seems quite reasonable to think about it carefully. The Yan army has been attacking the city every day around Maoshisi in the morning, and it has not been easy to please. The Qin army must relax its vigilance in the quiet night before Yinshi. It is not hopeless to break the city in one fell swoop if you really get an internal response.

Ren Zhen turned around abruptly, and said anxiously: "Call the generals for the military tent ceremony, and send troops to attack the city at Yinshi tonight!" Yang Ding suddenly grabbed Ren Zhen's wrist behind him, and Ren Zhen turned his head to look at him inexplicably, Yang Ding was silent for a while and then said: "Murong Yong has been lurking in the Qin army, why didn't he send the news in advance? The two armies are fighting for life and death...Beware of fraud."

After he finished speaking, he was a little bit embarrassed - because he always regarded himself as an upright gentleman, but now he was repeatedly suspicious here, for fear that Murong Chong would think that he had the intention of provoking.

Ren Zhen raised the corners of his lips: "He must have his considerations or difficulties. He risked his life to spread the news at this time—" He suddenly approached him with an arrow, and his lips brushed away like a kiss, " I trusted him unreservedly."

Yang Ding was slightly startled, and involuntarily let go of his hand, staring blankly at Murong Chong's back in a hurry.

Born in troubled times, lies and betrayals are everywhere, for the throne and the country, father and son brothers are fighting to the death, who dares to choose trust with all their wealth like him? !
