Ragnarok is born

Xu Ding and the others unfolded their agility, swept across the room, rushed out of the back door, and reached an open place not far from the back door of the courtyard.

When everyone arrived, they happened to see Zhao Yan, who was dressed as a scribe, fighting a man with a strong body and a beard like a steel needle, fighting to the death.

The man held an eight-faced Han sword, and several swords in succession hit the same position of the long sword in Zhao Yan's hand.

Under the opponent's fierce attack, Zhao Yan's figure retreated step by step, and the weapon in his hand suddenly let out a clear and clear cry.

When Zhao Yan retreated to the last step, he finally couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and at the same time, the weapon was broken in two blows by the majestic man.

Zhao Yan's whole body was broken, looking at the tough face of the enemy, he said in a low voice, "Unexpectedly, besides the tiger idiot Xu Chu, under Cao Cao's command, there is actually a second master of Hunyuan Ruyi, really amazing!"

The man pursed his lips slightly, and said in a trembling voice, "A certain Cao Ren Cao Zixiao!"

Xu Ding breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhao Yan collapsed on the ground, and saluted Cao Ren, "Thanks to General Zixiao, I was able to catch the traitor Zhao Yan."

"Otherwise I'm the only one, maybe I'll let him escape successfully!"

Cao Ren waved his hands, and said indifferently, "Feng Xiao has made a plan for a long time, so I will follow my orders, and you and I will join forces to catch the enemy."

"For the follow-up interrogation, there will be Brother Lao Xu. I will report to Lord Sikong first that I have caught the news of Zhao Yan!"

Xu Ding hummed lightly.

Volume 46 Dynasty Warriors Chapter [-]: Sarcasm

Dong Cheng knelt down on his knees and sat behind the desk, his eyes glazed over.

The delicacies and wines on the table suddenly became dull and unattractive at all, all because of the news brought by Captain Changshui's unexpected visit to the door not far from him.

Soon after, Yilang Wu Shuo, Yueqi school lieutenant Wang Zifu, Zhaoxin general Wu Zilan and others secretly entered the chariot general through secret means.

These people are all listed in the "Yidai Zhao" and at the same time in Xuchang City, they are dissatisfied with Cao Cao's domineering power.

They all came to Cheqi General's Mansion because Yilang Zhao Yan was suddenly arrested by Cao Cao.

赵彦

He was arrested, and the matter happened hastily, which immediately aroused extremely strong repercussions from inside and outside Xuchang City, and from the imperial court.

Even with the fermentation of time, its influence gradually expanded, and began to spread to other places little by little.

For example, Dong Cheng, the chariot general, felt that there must be some ulterior secret behind this incident.

It wasn't just because Zhao Yan stated the current policy for the emperor that he was disgusted by Cao Cao, which caused unreasonable disasters.

You know, Cao Cao had previously

Although he was domineering, he still maintained a superficial respect in front of the emperor, and did not do anything so obvious, Weiling the emperor, which made people feel abnormal.

Thoughts turned in Dong Cheng's mind, and he suddenly thought, could it be that Thief Cao has noticed that we are gathering together and plotting secretly, something that is not good for him?

He glanced uneasily at Zhongji, Wu Shuo, Wang Zifu, Wu Zilan and others who were either sitting or standing, with different expressions, but all showed expressions of grief and indignation.

Chong Ji was in a turbulent mood, facing Dong Cheng's suspicious gaze, he said indignantly, "How long will Cheqi have to wait?"

"Thieves Cao have threatened His Majesty so much, can we people just watch His Majesty be humiliated?"

Several other people cast their eyes on Dong Cheng at the same time.

Dong Cheng, as the chariot general of the current dynasty, has the right to found the mansion, and is the nephew of the late emperor's mother, the Empress Dowager Dong, and the father of the emperor's favorite concubine Dong. think.

It is precisely for this reason that he was able to secretly become the founder of the "Yi Dai Zhao" group.

The reason why Zhong Ji, Wu Shuo, Wang Zifu, Wu Zilan and others surrounded Dong Cheng was that they were preparing to fight together when they saw Cao Cao gradually revealing the face of a powerful minister; Dong Cheng's ability to directly represent the will of the emperor was also a big reason.

Facing Zhong Ji's pressing question, Dong Cheng gave a wry smile, and replied in a harsh voice, "Since Cao Bandit came to the emperor's capital Xuchang, officials were promoted, and guards were all sent out of Sikong's mansion. It was just Cao Bandit's words."

"Right now, even in various inconspicuous positions, they are all accomplices arranged by Thief Cao, so old, and controlled by his in-laws."

He sighed, and complained to everyone in front of him, "Since I took the order, I have been moving around cautiously, fearing that the news will be exposed, which will arouse the suspicion of Cao thief."

"But when you look around, you can only look around in a daze. Only a few people feel that Cao's behavior is outrageous."

"And the rest think that this is a matter of course, and there is nothing to question at all."

Wang Zifu showed hesitation on his face, and asked in confusion, "Could it be that Cheqi hasn't made up his mind until now, when will the incident happen?"

Dong Cheng shook his head and sighed, "The whole of Xuchang is Cao's eyes and ears. Even if I want to make trouble, I can't do anything about it."

"At the present time, only when the fighting in the Quartet resumes and Cao Cao leads the army to fight outside, and Xuchang's army is empty, can there be some hope."

He looked at the people in front of him, and revealed a message, "Liu Bei, the left general, has secretly escaped from Cao's control and has re-occupied Xuzhou."

"A few days ago, Liu Bei sent his general Guan Yu to infiltrate Xuchang to inform His Majesty about it. Unfortunately, those Taoist priests who gathered for no reason noticed it. The two sides fought hard, which made Cao thief wary."

Everyone recalled the unexplained collapse of the Yongning Hall in the imperial palace some time ago, and wondered if it had something to do with Guan Yu?

Wu Zilan nodded and asked, "According to Cheqi's opinion, when will Liu Bei plan to raise troops to fight against the Cao bandits?"

Just when everyone else showed anticipation, Dong Cheng curled his lips in secret, feeling extremely emotional in his heart.

Although he is not a famous general, compared with the people in front of him who only have enthusiasm, he has a few more years of military experience after all.

Naturally, with Cao Cao's strength, Liu Bei hastily revolted, so where is the chance of winning?The reason why he proposed at this time that Liu Bei's reason was just to give the people in front of him a little more confidence.

But after thinking about it, if even Liu Bei can't look forward to it, who can expect it in such a big world?

Could it be Yuan Shao who occupies the land of the four prefectures in Hebei, Yuan Benchu ​​failed?

Who doesn't know that Yuan Benchu, as early as more than ten years ago, before Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, was planning to rebel against the late emperor; he even planned secretly to welcome Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, as emperor, but in the end Liu Yu Strong opposition is helpless.

Such a careerist who is no different from Dong Zhuo, if he defeats Cao Cao, maybe the first thing he will do is to depose the emperor, right?

Then, among the Liu family's clan, find a clan who obeyed his advice without any resistance, and sit in the position of that puppet, shall we?

Wait a few more years, kick the new puppet emperor away, just like Wang Mang, stage a big show of abdication, seek power and usurp the throne and call himself emperor?

Rather than this, why not Cao Cao, who still retains a certain amount of respect for the emperor, and does not dare to reveal his ambitions?

Dong Cheng heard everyone's discussion in his ears, but his thoughts drifted to nowhere, and in the end he only felt disheartened.

Could it be that the destiny of the Great Han Dynasty could no longer continue?

**** **** ****

Guo Jia looked at Zhao Yan, who looked embarrassed and bloody, and asked puzzledly, "Why does Brother Zhao think that Yu Ji will definitely succeed in the end?"

As soon as he said this, Zhao Yan showed a horrified expression.

Xu Ding stood quietly beside Guo Jia, seeing that Zhao Yan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly changed color with just one sentence from Guo Jia, and gave a secret praise in his heart.

Zhao Yan's bones are hard, far beyond everyone's imagination.

Previously, he and the Tiger Guards under his command took turns to fight, no matter what methods they used, Zhao Yan was completely unmoved, despite their torture and clenching his teeth, he did not reveal any useful information at all.

But Guo Jia only asked a simple question, and Zhao Yan showed a look of panic like seeing a ghost.

It seems that, as rumored in the dark, Guo Jia, who controls all the information in the Lord's army, must know a lot of secret information that is little known?

Although his words of asking Zhao Yan seemed to have nothing to do with Zhao Yan, but the words hit Zhao Yan's vital point, which made Zhao Yan terrified.

But what does this have to do with Yu Ji, a Taoist Taiping who is far away in Jiangdong, preaching and healing the people at the same time?

Xu Ding's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered that Guo Jia ordered himself to publicize that he was Zhang Jiao's disciple before arresting Zhao Yan, a remnant of the Taiping Dao.

Could it be that there is really some connection between Yu Ji and Taipingdao that outsiders don't know about?

Who would have thought that Guo Jia suddenly chuckled at this moment, and said something that made Xu Ding feel dumbfounded, "Zhao Yilang is from Langya, right?"

Zhao Yan nodded indifferently.

Xu Ding secretly felt that it was strange that the origin of any court official was backed up and stored in the East View Hall.

Although because of Dong Zhuo's chaos, burning Luoyang, and moving the capital to Chang'an, the Dongguan Hall has been completely burned down.

However, under the rescue of Cai Yong and others, these important archives were finally spared and were not lost in the fire.

Through various means to find out, Zhao Yan's identity is also very clear, there is no possibility of falsification.

Zhao Yan was from Langya. In the third year of Yanxi (160), Lao Bing, a traitor from Langxie, and Uncle Sun Wuji, a traitor from Taishan, conquered the county of Langya and killed the officials. Under the command of Zongzi.

He also made plans for Zongzi, Chen "the law of solitude", pushed Dunjia, and suggested that Zongzi conscript Wuyang County soldiers as the main force to attack the bandits.

Then Zhao Yan taught to march in time, defeated the bandit army in the first battle, burned Tunwu, Xu and Yanzhou, and fell to the ground for a while.

Since then, Zhao Yan has entered the court's attention, and Zongzi recommended him as an official because he made plans for him.

It's a pity that his official career is not smooth, even after decades, he is still just a young Yilang.

Guo Jia clasped his hands behind his back and exhaled softly, "Then Yi Lang should also know that Taiping Daoist Yu Ji was also born in Langya?"

Zhao Yan showed a look of irony, and asked back, "So, in Guo Jijiu's heart, all the officials who were born in Langya are the accomplices of that Taoist Taiping, and they are all unreliable?"

He covered his lips with his hands, coughed a few times, "Although Langya is small, there are several noble families, Wang Yan and Zhuge, and some of them are officials in the court. Could it be that they are also Yu Ji's accomplices?"

"It is said that Mrs. Bian of Cao Sikong's family is also from Kaiyang County in Langya. Zhao Yan is really lucky to have such a township party..."

Xu Ding's expression was pale, he never thought that Zhao Yan would say such a thing?

Mrs. Bian's background is not very glorious. It is said that she was an advocate in her early years, performing music and singing for others, and was favored by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao made a fuss in Wancheng, and his eldest son, Cao Ang, unfortunately died in the rebellion. As a result, Mrs. Ding, the wife, fell out with Cao Cao, and the two divorced.

Mrs. Bian was favored by Cao Cao, and gave birth to several sons Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, and Cao Xiong for him one after another, so Cao Cao made Mrs. Bian his wife.

This is Mrs. Bian. When Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo and fled, she used to join Cao Cao's tribe in one fell swoop. At the same time, she also assisted Cao Cao in raising children, treated concubines well, and managed the huge harem.

It can be said that it is an extremely rare virtuous and open-minded, so that Cao Cao has no worries at all, and puts all his body and mind into the grand plan to compete for the world.

How could such a person allow Zhao Yan's slander?

Xu Ding's eyes flashed fiercely, his figure swayed for a while, and in an instant he was in front of Zhao Yan, with his palm on Zhao Yan's chest.

As long as he spits out his palm lightly, he can kill Zhao Yan under his palm.

Volume 47 Dynasty Warriors Chapter [-]: Coldness

Zhao Yan turned a blind eye to Xu Ding's big hand that could easily kill him on his chest.

Guo Jia smiled slightly, showing a calm expression, and said as if nothing had happened, "Others may have nothing to do with the Taiping Dao, but Zhao Yilang, as Yu Ji's second disciple, how can you get out of it?"

Zhao Yan was startled, with a solemn look on his face, and turned his head to look at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia's tone was full of unquestionable affirmation. Presumably, he had enough evidence to reveal his identity without any hesitation.

Zhao Yan pondered for a long time, and finally smiled wryly, "You guys are really capable, and you can find out the relationship between me and Master."

Xu Ding couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, and slowly withdrew his palm.

Guo Jia didn't seem to care about Zhao Yan's self-identity, and explained to himself, "Back then, you used the method of solitude to push the armor, defeat the Langxie thief Lao Bing, and the Taishan thief Uncle Sun Wuji. Heavy."

Zhao Yan asked lightly, "What aspects are you referring to?"

Guo Jia first stretched out five fingers towards Zhao Yan, and said slowly, "First, there is a big problem with the speed of you and Zong Ziping's rebellion."

"Why did Lao Bing and Uncle Sun Wuji attack the city and plunder the land before, and Taishan Langya and other county officials were helpless against them. Even Zongzi was unable to calm down the two bandits when they faced the two bandits."

"But after you present a few ambiguous strategies in front of Zongzi, all their fierceness before will disappear, and they will lose every time they fight?"

"Not only that, but the bandit soldiers led by Lao Bing and Uncle Sun Wuji suddenly disappeared, and Xu and Yanzhou were razed for a while?"

Zhao Yan remained silent.

Guo Jia wrung his fingers and continued, "Secondly, why waited until you and Zongzi left Langya together, then Lao Bing and Shusun Wuji immediately made a comeback and rebelled again. The prefect of the county, this really put down the rebellion between the two."

Zhao Yan had a strange look on his face when he heard this.

Guo Jia stared at Zhao Yan closely, saw him like this, and hit the rails while it was hot, "Yu Ji's eldest brother, Gong Chong, was in the period of Emperor Xiaoshun. It's crazy."

He pulled one finger down again, and said in a tone that could not be relaxed, "Yu Ji saw that the court didn't pay much attention to the Taiping Dao, and was even extremely afraid of the Taiping Dao, so he sent Gong Chong to prison, so he decided to change his strategy."

"While actively rescuing Gong Chong, he deliberately sent his second disciple to hide his identity and sneak into the court."

Guo Jia shook his head calmly and said, "According to my speculation, in fact, Lao Bing and Shusun Wuji both have a lot to do with Yu Ji."

"They all obeyed Yu Ji's command, rebelled and attacked cities and lands, so when you recommend yourself to Zongzi, follow the original plan, and when Zongzi launches an attack, pretend to be a complete defeat."

"This is the capital for you to go to Zongzi and get promoted. It's a pity that Zongzi doesn't pay much attention to you because he is not good at military affairs, and you are not from a family, so you have been wasted for decades."

Zhao Yan's eyes suddenly shrank, and instantly returned to their original state.

Guo Jia has been carefully observing Zhao Yan's expression, seeing all the changes in this moment, and has made a judgment in his heart.

He raised his fourth finger, chuckled and said, "Some time ago, Yu Ji, who had been active in Jiangdong, sneaked into Xuchang secretly, and fought with Zuo Ci, knocking down the Yongning Hall in the imperial palace. "
