The King of Liang, the feudal lords outside the town, and the generals inside

The desert is yellow sand, and the new wind is rolling.In the misty dust, huge poplar trees sway in the wind.The [-]-jin iron gate of Liangzhou, the most powerful pass in the northwest, was slowly lifted amidst the roar, and a group of cavalry galloped in.

"General, the imperial court has sent an imperial envoy to come and wait on the platform with the imperial decree."

Yan Xun got off his horse and rushed in with Chunyu Xuan and Chunyu Jing. When he saw the envoy, his expression turned cold, "Who is my imperial envoy? It turns out to be you."

The messenger was also surnamed Cen, a distant relative of the Empress Dowager, named Cen Ji.Holding the imperial decree in one hand, he said with a smile: "General, hurry up and receive the decree."

The three of Yan Xun knelt down, and Cen Ji unfolded the imperial decree and read aloud: "Yan Xun, the great general who protects the country, and his father, Yan Jun, Yongming Gong, did not have any dissent in forming cliques for private interests, and secretly gave and received with Liang Wang and Ye Luo, betrayed the country and sought glory, and sought The crimes of rebellion are too numerous to list! I will remove Yan Xun from his position as General, and immediately escort him back to Beijing to wait for his disposal."

Chunyu Xuan and Chunyu Jing froze in place.Yan Xun didn't take the order to thank you, but stood up, "Is the father and son the traitors?"

"That's right." Cen Ji looked pale, "The general doesn't need to justify himself, the evidence is solid now."

Yan Xun laughed slowly, "Okay. Since the evidence is convincing, I really can't refute anything."

Cen Ji didn't expect Yan Xun to say that, he was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "The general is quick to recognize."

Yan Xun was not in a hurry or annoyed, he just looked at Cen Ji with interest, "You want to escort me back to Beijing, how many people did you bring?"

Cen Ji said: "The forbidden army is eight hundred."

"Eight hundred." Yan Xun nodded, took the imperial decree from Cen Ji, and weighed it in his hand, "Then do you know how many soldiers and horses there are in my barracks?"

Cen Ji frowned and said, "What does the general mean by this? Do you dare to resist the order?!"

Yan Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a bit of murderous intent, "How do you say something? The general is out, and the king's life is not accepted. You can take this imperial decree to tell my soldiers and let them listen to you." If so, watch you take me away."

As soon as Yan Xun finished speaking, one of them rushed forward and kicked Cen Ji to the ground, "You bastard bastard, what kind of bullshit are you talking about! The evidence is convincing? If the general and Duke Yong Ming were traitors, there would be no loyal ministers in the court Dare to touch the general? Kill me first!"

"Lu Xing!" Chunyu Jing hurriedly grabbed him and dragged him away, "Don't be too presumptuous!"

How could Lu Xing hold back, shook off his hand, and scolded angrily: "You still have the face to read this imperial decree? Your Cen family is the biggest traitor in Dazhou! Since the queen mother, there is no good thing! Shen Xiang passed away , Your Majesty actually listened to you gang of traitors like this, you really have blind eyes and wronged Zhongliang! Great Zhou will be ruined by your hands sooner or later!"

Cen Ji's face turned purple with anger, and he said angrily, "You! Are you going to rebel?!"

Chunyu Xuan sneered and said, "That's weird, didn't you say that the general's rebellion has already been proven, why are you so surprised?"

Yan Xun stuffed the imperial decree into Chunyu's hands, patted Lu Xing who was burning with anger, turned his head and ordered lightly: "Take Cen Ji out and chop it up, and pass on the head to all the troops. Let the eight hundred forbidden troops go back, and they You can say whatever you want, don’t worry about it.”

Cen Ji yelled and was dragged out, and then fell silent for a while.

Yan Xun held back his breath and said: "Okay. Go and call Fucheng over, we should get down to business."

Chunyu Jing asked, "What's the business?"

Yan Xun said indifferently: "Destroy Nan Wu."

Chun Yuxuan smiled and said, "Have been entangled with Xiaoqu Nanwu for so long, our general should have a place to vent his anger, right?"

When Fucheng came, Chunyu Jing couldn't help asking: "However, General, if we killed Cen Ji like this, will the emperor blame him? After all, he is also an imperial envoy."

Yan Xun glanced at him, and said: "There are so many people in the court, the emperor wanted to send someone surnamed Cen, just to let me vent my anger."

Chunyujing thought for a while, and her eyes lit up, "So, the emperor didn't really believe in those people's framing, and his heart is still toward the general?"

Yan Xun nodded and said: "Firstly, it is the status of an imperial envoy, and secondly... in the past, there will be a mark on the letters and secret decrees between the emperor and me that only the two of us know, and the imperial decree just now also has it. If the emperor It really annoys me, so I won't leave that mark."

"But Duke Yong Ming was still imprisoned."

Yan Xundao: "Yan Zun is my younger brother. He personally made the first report, and he has so-called evidence. If the emperor doesn't give an explanation, it will be another storm. It's better to make a stopgap first, so that the Cen family can think of it as a trick. Succeed, so as to relax our vigilance."

Lu Xing half understood, and turned angrily: "This Yan Zun, to be able to do such a thing to his own father and brother, really has no humanity at all."

Chun Yujing followed up and said: "What else could he be doing for it, isn't it just for the King of Liang. At that time, I knew that the King of Liang would have caused discord between the general and his brothers, and would definitely cause more trouble in the future. How is it now? How many disputes have the generals been involved in..."

Chunyu Qing coughed lightly, and said, "You can't blame King Liang, he is not willing to have so many things happen."

Lu Xing asked hesitantly, "Then... is it true that the king of Liang rebelled?"

Chunyu Jue just opened his mouth, but quickly stopped looking at Yan Xun's expression, and shook his head.

Yan Xun and several generals discussed until late at night, at noon the next day, [-] infantry troops quietly left the city, and at night of the third day, more than [-] cavalry secretly marched westward.

At the time of the four drums, Yan Xun's [-] cavalrymen took off their horse bells, wrapped their horseshoes, and put the horses in their mouths. They secretly marched to the valley in front of the Nanwu garrison to ambush.

Nanwu's army was stationed on three hilltops in the shape of a pin character, forming corners of each other, separated by two or three miles, with an open valley in the middle.

At night, Yan Xun personally led Chunyujing and Fucheng to spy on the military situation.Chun Yujing said softly: "General, the mountains and plains on all sides are very low and slow. The Nanwu camp is located on a high ground. It can be quickly deployed and quickly closed. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack."

"Nanwu and Xiaoqu are nomads. They are all skilled in archery and horse since childhood. Their cavalry are the best of the best, and they are extremely brave. It's just that there are not many people here." Judging from it, he can be regarded as someone who understands the art of war, not a wine bag and a rice bag."

Yan Xun nodded and said, "Since Wuenqi Chachile, Nanwu's new chief general, Chahan, is pretty good. Compared to Xiaoqu's chief general, Ba Cangdu, he is indeed a hundred times stronger."

"In this case, why don't we attack Xiaoqu's main force first, but come to fight Nanwu?" Fucheng asked.

Yan Xun said with a smile: "This time, Xiao Qu and Nan Wu's coalition forces are at odds with each other. They both want to make the other party work harder and reap the benefits. Such a so-called alliance can be disintegrated in an instant. The battle with Nanwu last year caused them to lose a lot of soldiers and horses, so this time Xiaoqu sent more troops and Nanwu sent more food. What we have to do is to start with Nanwu first and defeat them one by one. "

Chunyujing understood, and looked around in the night, "Where are Nanwu's food and supplies?"

The camp of the Chinese army staying in Liangzhou was lit up continuously, and the faint neighing of war horses could be heard from time to time.

In the silent night, there was a sound of horseshoes, and the sergeant who guarded the gate turned around and shouted, "Stop!"

"It's me!" Gao Yi galloped forward, "Is the general there?"

The sergeant hurriedly said: "The general led his troops to leave five days ago, and now only General Chunyu is in the camp."

Gao Yi nodded, and went straight to look for Chunyu Xuan.

"Why are you back?!" Chunyu Ping stood up in shock when he saw Gao Yi, "How is King Liang?"

Gao Yi presented the gold order and said: "I was incompetent, and the King of Liang found out. It is true that the King of Liang rebelled, and I came back to tell the general."

Holding the golden order, Chun Yuzheng seemed to be in disbelief, looked left and right, checked carefully, and finally confirmed that it was the golden order made by the imperial court, and it was absolutely not faked.

"What do you mean? The general gave it to you? He asked you to monitor King Liang?" Chunyu Xuan's face was filled with disbelief.

Gao Yi paused, did not answer his question, and turned to ask: "General, is the order to assassinate King Liang really given by the General?"

Chunyu Xuan looked up at him, "Assassinate... King Liang?!"

He froze for a long while, feeling that his brain seemed to be stuck with glue, he understood every word Gao Yi said, but he really couldn't understand his words.

Gao Yiwu said to himself: "I thought about it later, the general wouldn't be so cruel to King Liang..."

Chunyu Xuan grabbed his arm violently, "Tell me the whole thing from beginning to end!"

After listening to Gao Yi's narration, Chun Yuzheng stared at Jin Biaoling for a long time, almost couldn't help but want to open Gao Yi's Tianling cover to control the water.

"Mr. Yongming asked you to monitor and even assassinate King Liang. Why do you think this is what the general meant?! He asked you to protect King Liang! Don't you understand?!"

Gao Yi was stunned for a while, speechless.

"How stupid you are!" Chunyu was so angry that he couldn't breathe freely, "Fortunately, King Liang is fine, if you really hurt him, you will kill the general!"

"Then, what should I do..." Gao Yihan almost got down.

Chunyu Xuan took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "What should I do? What else can I do? You go back now, go back to see King Liang, tell him the truth, and stay by his side to protect him. You are stupid, but your martial arts are good. "

Gao Yi was a little embarrassed, "But, but King Liang wants to rebel..."

Chunyu Xuan remained silent for a long while, stared straight at him, and repeated, "Go back."

Gao Yi nodded.

A figure suddenly flashed outside the tent.

"Who is it!" shouted a sergeant patrolling outside.

Chunyu Xuan was startled, and quickly got up to go out to check, and Gao Yi also followed.

The patrol sergeant had already pushed the man to the ground, and the man was also wearing the armor of the Great Zhou Army.Seeing Chunyu Fang coming out, the patrolling sergeant hurriedly said: "General, this man is sneaking outside the tent, I don't know what plans he has!"

Chunyu Xuan took two steps forward and asked, "Which general are you under, and what are you doing here?"

Before everyone could react, there was a loud bang that seemed to burst people's eardrums, shattered the internal organs, and the whole ground shook, and flames flew up in an instant.
