The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 158 The chessboard, check!

In October, the wind of late autumn caressed the mountains and fields.

On the winding official road, the jingling of horse bells spread over, and a horse team of hundreds of people slowly stopped in the middle of the road. There are ripples in circles.

"It's winter."

Looking at the bleak eyes, he murmured softly. There were few farmers' voices on the side of the road or in the fields. In the harvested fields, one or two peasant women and sparrows could occasionally be seen grabbing the grains in the mud. Or pull out a few wild vegetables and put them in the basket.

"... Another year is going to pass."

Shang Rang said again, the general who had been at the front line, but now he has become a captain, has become sentimental, and his eyes have also become slightly depressed.

Not only does he have to deal with complicated official duties every day after he is in an important position, but also in the court, regarding the speculation about His Majesty, he has basically proved that King Huang is under house arrest and control, but internal stability is urgently needed at the moment. Well, the foundation that was finally laid down may be destroyed once, and become a rebel army running around again.

At that time, how many generals who have enjoyed the prosperity of Chang'an are willing to be with him?

'If that Geng Qing just wants to be a powerful minister, he can bear it for a while and take it slowly. '

He looked into the distance and thought, raised his whip and was about to slap it, when the hand under his command suddenly slowed down and stopped in mid-air. A dirt road came out of the room.

Under the sun and white clouds, a fast horse is speeding up, and it looks like it is going to Chang'an.

As a general, Shang Rang is extremely sensitive to some things.

"Ride a few rides over and stop that person."

Several personal guards clasped their hands, cracked their whips, shouted "drive" in their mouths, and galloped along the official road, amidst the dust and smoke, they went straight to the direction of the lone rider in the distance.

Far away, Shang Rang couldn't hear the voice over there, and vaguely heard a few violent shouts, as well as the collision of swords and swords. He ran, turned around and ran back to the hills. Three people chased after him on horseback, and the rest of them jumped off their horses as if picking something up, and rode back after a while.

"Taiwei, brothers fought with that man, it fell from his arms."

What was presented under the horse's head was a letter.

Shang Rang drew the knife and picked the letter into his hand, tore open the lacquer mouth, and unfolded it in his hand. His eyes wandered, and he quickly scanned it from right to left. Finally, the inscription at the end had a small square seal - Shu Zhong Shu system.

The surrounding guards and close lieutenants saw their Taiwei's expression gradually serious, and they all stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Taiwei, what happened?"

"What was written in the letter?"

"But those surrendered ministers in Chang'an cheated on the old master?"

"I think it is, the direction of the fast horse coming is not only the side of the Shu land? Sure enough, this group of surrenders are all out of the way. Seeing that they can't beat us, they hugged us and started to welcome the old master. Please, Your Majesty, kill all these people, and it will be clean!"

While chattering, Shang Rang, who was sitting on a horse over there, tore up the letter, and the shredded paper was blown to the side of the road by the wind.

"It's not those surrenders. We can't wait any longer, or something big will happen!"

Looking in the direction of the hills, he pulled the reins and turned the horse's head around, slammed the horse's belly, and shouted violently: "Follow me back to camp—"

After finishing speaking, he rode his horse through the middle of the team and galloped out. The guards and lieutenants on both sides looked at each other, and they all rode their horses to follow.

Day camp in the western suburbs of Chang'an in the early morning.

In the usual patrolling camp, amidst the sound of rumbling horseshoes, the soldiers in the sentry tower watched their Taiwei return, and quickly asked someone to open the gate.

The team came back like a long dragon, and soon, the order to assemble spread throughout the army, and figures came out of the tents, looking for their own centurions to gather at the school grounds.

Shang Rang was dressed in armor and dragged his cloak onto the high platform. In the sight of countless people intertwined, he pulled out the treasured sword from his waist.

"Chang'an has enjoyed peace for a long time, do you still remember King Huang?! Think of me, brothers in the Yi army, looking at all directions from north to south, but today the Japanese Taiwei intercepted a secret letter. Among my brothers, there are some people who are cheating and colluding with the enemy. , put His Majesty under house arrest in the palace, and we can't wait any longer!"

A high-pitched voice shouted from his mouth, the wind blew, and the cloak fluttered slightly, Shang Rang walked to the front of the stage, his voice was like a bell: "Send troops today, follow me into the city to serve the king, save your majesty's deep palace, kill Zhu Wen to warn the rest of the people with ulterior motives -"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The shouts of tens of thousands of people gathered at one place, and the overlapping sound waves resounded above the camp. These are all descendants of Shang Rang, and they never disobeyed orders. After the order was passed down, the rear team became the front team and protruded from the gate.

On the official road extending to Chang'an, business travelers and pedestrians scattered in panic. On this day, under the sky of Chang'an, the atmosphere became a little different.

The white clouds in late autumn drifted across Chang'an, the dense streets below, pedestrians going back and forth, and in a courtyard of Yong'an Square, old trees swayed their branches and leaves gently.

The light spots in the shade were shaking on the chessboard, someone pinched a chess piece with his fingertips and dropped it to the grid, the handsome scholar with a short beard raised his face, "It may not be a good thing to scare the snake, Brother Ji Chang, I'm a little anxious. "

"Staying deadlocked is not an option."

Geng Qing looked at the chessboard, pushed the pieces lightly, and crossed the river border with a 'pawn', "Deng Tianwang and Meng Juehai were just misled by me. After a long time, it will not be a good thing after all. Right now they are resettling refugees. If you think too much about things, the best time is now, when you can’t use your strategy, it’s time to fight with swords and guns.”

"Stubborn."

The scholar named Xie Tong smiled, and also raised his hand to send a piece, eating the pawn who crossed the river, and then Geng Qing took another piece.

"Look at the right time, you have to do it when it's time to do it, anyway, the yellow thief should let him out to get some air."

"Let him out, aren't you afraid to kill him here?"

"He will definitely come, but he will have that time to make it. From what I know about him, he will only leave the city first." Geng Qing smiled, raised a piece and dropped it to the corner of the chessboard, and shouted loudly :"Will!"

It caused the rest of the people who spoke in the courtyard to look at it.

When Xie Tong narrowed his eyes slightly, Geng Qing raised his face with a smile and met his gaze, only uttered cold words.

"Out of the city, the Great Qi has been passed down for more than a year and the country will perish."

The sky shines across the bustling capital city.

The order's fast riders rushed along the road crazily. In the Weiqiao barracks, Zhu Wen sat in the tent and molested two women. Hearing the news from outside the tent, he spilled the wine in his hand.

He pushed the two women to the ground and was dragged out.

Looking at the treasured sword on the weapon rack, he cursed: "Your mother."

At a certain moment, he walked out of the big tent, and his army had assembled. Zhu Wen put on his armor and mounted his horse with a spear, and his confidant urged Wang Yanzhang to come over and clasped his fists.

The most skilled soldiers and horses have lined up in front.

"Brothers, the Tang Dynasty has stood for hundreds of years without falling, and there is a reason for it. However, I have been with the rebel army for five years and have never enjoyed a good day. Waiting for the brothers to be in the same robe, but the king has no way, drive us like pigs and dogs, and still be slaughtered, it is better to kill Chang'an—”

Zhu Wen rode his horse galloping, and the spears passed through the hands of the soldiers in front of the formation and struck shields one after another. The voice resounded like thunder: "——Go to Chang'an, capture the faint king, and welcome the emperor of the Li family back to the court!"

The murderous aura spread, and groups of soldiers toppled down the gates and walls of the village, and rushed to Chang'an.

In the vast wilderness that cannot be seen in full view, a group of cavalry galloped, and many people were still in the dark, not knowing what happened.

Soon, the war broke out.

　Get here first today, Ruhu should be finished tomorrow.

　　Then, it's time to update this book with all my strength.
