It's all abstract destiny, you're one emperor through the ages

Chapter 227

Zhang Yiping was probably indeed dead.

According to Chen Rui in Liutun, Xiping County, Zhang Yiping was assassinated by Zhang Dingguo, who had come to vote before.

Zhang Yiping is a person, he has abilities, but he really doesn't know people well.

It was like this in Jiaozhou, and it was still like this in Runan.

Zhang Dingguo was born in a wealthy family in Runan. When Zhang Yiping started the uprising, he brought 2000 people to vote.

But Zhang Dingguo's will to fight Donghu is not so firm.

It can be said that he is a speculator.

Once there is an incident, his status will be improved a lot whether it is among the Donghu people or among the big men.

But the fact is just as Zhang Dingguo thought.

For a while, the Donghu people couldn't take down the Guiyi army led by Zhang Yiping, so they decided to adopt a soft policy at the same time.

Use various high-ranking officials and generous salaries to buy the leaders of the Guiyi Army.

As one of the leaders, Zhang Dingguo was on the list as a matter of course.

Then he was moved by a high official and generous salary.

The Han army was indeed powerful, but the army was still in Jingzhou, and Jingbei did not capture it.

The Guiyi Army is deep in the hinterland of Runan, seeing that there is no reinforcements, it can't continue.

Then why not just invest in Donghu people?

Although Zhongxuan went south to ask the Han army for support, but the current situation is not clear, how could the Han army stop attacking Jingzhou, take another route, and send a large army to support the Guiyi army?

The Han army is certainly strong, and the imperial court is certainly in full swing.

But it is too far away, far less than the visible and tangible Donghu.

Ever since, Zhang Dingguo accepted the Donghu people's offer, and on the grounds that he had to discuss with Zhang Yiping alone on important matters, he met with Zhang Yiping in private, ambushed him secretly, and laid his hands on him.

Then with Zhang Yiping's head, a rebellion was launched in Xiping County, and with nearly ten thousand soldiers, they surrendered to the Donghu people.

Chen Rui's severed arm, and the desolation of Xiping County today are all because of that rebellion.

With no leader in the crowd, coupled with the rebellion of a large number of core forces, the last remaining soldiers of the Guiyi Army no longer have any fighting spirit in their hearts.

If it wasn't for Chen Rui's confidence in Zhongxuan who went south, as well as confidence in the Han court, he barely held on to the situation, and it is estimated that the Guiyi army would have dispersed by now.

But even so, under the turmoil, there are very few Guiyi troops who revolted in order to fight against Donghu.

But the traitor Zhang Dingguo, relying on the blood of his comrades-in-arms, became the guest of Donghu people.

"Zhang Dingguo"

Listening to Chen Rui's cry to Zhong Xuan, Liu Ke suddenly took out a list.

It was exactly the reward that Zhongxuan had drawn up before.

"Zhang Dingguo, General Yangwu."

"General Yangwu?"

Chen Rui was still dumbfounded, and didn't understand what was going on.

Chong Xuan was already gnashing his teeth, wishing he could ride alone, rush into Donghu's army, and tear Zhang Dingguo into pieces.

Although the emperor's rewards to many generals of the Guiyi Army were generous, they were not to the point where everyone was appointed an official, whether it was a man or a ghost.

General Yang Wu is just a miscellaneous general, but he is also a general.

There are a lot of salary and parts.

The big man now is not the big man who was short of major generals before.

For example, Shalibie, who was promoted by Yue Shaoqian in Jingnan, was able to be a general as soon as he entered the court because he had his own trilogy and was the leader of the Wuxi barbarians.

Another Jing Daorong, even if he claims to be General Lingling, his martial arts are quite good, and it is also because of his subsequent military exploits in Jiangxia County that he has won a miscellaneous general.

Therefore, no matter how much the emperor and the imperial court valued the Guiyi Army, they would not give too many rewards for the position of general.

Zhong Xuan still spent a lot of effort and thought for a long time before finalizing the list of rewards.

Including Zhang Yiping's General Returning to the Han Dynasty, there are actually only three generals with miscellaneous names.

Not even Zhongxuan himself.

But Zhang Dingguo was able to occupy a seat among them.

It is enough to see Zhang Dingguo's prestige and status in the Guiyi Army, as well as the trust of all the brothers in him.

"Who is this"

It was only at this time that Chen Rui realized that this handsome young man who had been by Zhong Xuan's side should be an official of the imperial court.

This time, he probably came with Zhongxuan, on behalf of the imperial court, to reward the Guiyi Army.

It just made him feel guilty even more.

The Guiyi army already looks like this, how can they deserve any reward?
"This is the court's lord, Brother Chen, please arrange a resting place for us first, I'm a little tired after coming all the way."

"As for other things, we will make plans after tomorrow."

Zhong Xuan deliberately concealed Liu Ke's identity.

If it had been before, when the Guiyi Army was powerful, and some high-level generals had informed the emperor that he had come to Runan in person, it would have been encouraging.

But now the Guiyi Army's situation has taken a turn for the worse, and its destruction is almost at hand.

But you can't reveal your identity at will.

And it has to be hidden deliberately, otherwise the Donghu people will find out, and they will definitely send a large army to encircle them.

Even the status of a court official is not very safe.

It would be a surprise if there was a second Zhang Dingguo among the rebels who was bought by the Donghu people and planned to take a high court official as a vote.

After arriving at the resting place, Zhong Xuan immediately advised:

"Your Majesty, please return to Jiangling as soon as possible. I'm afraid it will be difficult to return to the rebel army."

Zhongxuan feels distressed, the rebellion plan for many years has come to nothing.

But he still analyzed the situation rationally.

It is not realistic to try to support it in Runan.

The emperor's use of soldiers is unpredictable, and his bravery is the best in the world.

But it is also impossible to defeat the Donghu people with a bunch of rebels who have no morale and have not been trained.

And once the Donghu people find out and send a large army to encircle and suppress them, it will be even more difficult to escape.

The most important thing right now is to escort the emperor back safe and sound.

There was even a tinge of rejoicing in Zhong Xuan's heart.

Before, he urged the emperor to send troops to the north to support the rebels.

If at that time, the emperor and the army Zhong Wu agreed to send troops, I am afraid that something big will happen now.

Being an emperor is different, his vision is much farther than his own.

Liu Ke didn't respond, but asked rhetorically:

"Aren't you going to leave?"

Zhong Xuan slowly closed his eyes, just like Zhang Yiping.

When Zhang Yiping was thinking, he also liked to close his eyes like this.

"I want to take the Guiyi army south."

"No matter how much this belongs to the rebel army, I will take them south."

"Oh."

Liu Ke showed a meaningful smile and continued to ask:
"What about Zhang Dingguo?"

Zhong Xuan opened his eyes and said without hesitation:
"The blood of a brother, the blood of a dead righteous man, must be paid with the blood of a traitor."

His eyes were as firm as iron, and his lips were tightly pressed.

He not only wanted blood for blood, he wanted to avenge his dead brother, his dead brothers.

An explanation must also be given to the court.

The emperor personally went deep into the hinterland of Donghu with a donkey, and he did not disappoint any righteous man.

But they let the emperor down and failed the kindness.

Zhang Yiping is dead, and there are not many people in the Guiyi Army who have the right to speak.

Zhong Xuan is one of them, so he must come up with an explanation.

The emperor has always been lenient, and may not let him do this.

But for the sake of reason, he had to do something.

Zhong Xuan looked at the emperor in front of him.

This sage emperor entered the Donghu formation alone at the beginning, beheading Zuo Xianwang.

Then get out of the body.

Ever since, Zhong Xuan was inspired by this and came up with a bold idea.

He wants to break into the Donghu camp with layers of protection and rob and kill Zhang Dingguo!
"Blood for blood?"

Liu Ke suppressed his smile, looked directly at Zhong Xuan, a little aggressive:

"Zhang Dingguo was regarded as a guest of honor by the Donghu people of the Puqian tribe, and he may have even become a general. There are still a large number of soldiers of the Guiyi Army who are coerced away. The number is probably close to ten thousand."

"How do you want him to pay back?"

Zhong Xuan still did not waver, and said bluntly:
"I heard that there is nothing difficult or impossible in the world, but there are people who can do what can be done."

The implication of these words is that there is nothing in this world that cannot or cannot be done.

There is always that kind of character who can do it and will definitely do it.

"Well said."

Liu Ke felt that Zhong Xuan was talking about himself. He was naked, and he was obviously the kind of person who could do something and was sure to achieve it.

"Robbery camp?"

Zhong Xuan nodded emphatically, and fully revealed his plan:
"I am acquainted with Zhang Dingguo, the Zhong family is still in Runan, and the Donghu people have not removed my official position."

"The minister made an excuse to discuss with Zhang Dingguo. Zhang Dingguo didn't know the purpose of the minister's visit, and most likely he would meet."

"At that time, the minister suddenly launched a crisis, directly tied him up, and then used him as a threat to fight his way out."

Liu Ke asked:

"You alone?"

Zhong Xuan shook his head:

"In the rebel army, there are many people who are disheartened, but they can still pick out fifty brave people."

"50 people?"

"50 people are enough."

Zhong Xuan suddenly became proud and said:

"Zhang Dingguo brought many brothers to Donghu people, and many of them have received favors from my ministers."

"The waiter tied up Zhang Dingguo, raised his arms, and might not fail to attract tens of thousands of people to help!"

"it is good!"

Liu Ke praised him, he liked Zhong Xuan's youthful spirit.

Young people have to be vigorous.

Moreover, this Guiyi army is very important to the big man, and he doesn't want to just disappear.

Something must be done.

"Since Zhongqing is interested, I will send people back to Jiangling to gather some people for Zhongqing."

Zhong Xuan was stunned, mobilizing manpower?

Given the current situation in Runan County, how dare the imperial court send more troops?

Then suddenly, it should be to mobilize some brave people.

Like Dian Chu and Zhao Ning, if they can come to Runan, they will be able to accomplish more.

No matter how bad it is, hundreds of healthy soldiers in the army are much more reliable than the rebel army.

Even if it fails, you can protect the emperor and go back.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, first."

A few days later, Bo, a leader in the army, arrived in Xiping County on a four-wheeler.

"Chen Lu Fengfu, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Lu Fengfu hurriedly paid homage to the emperor, and seeing the bleak scene in Xiping County, he shook his head secretly.

The emperor recruited him, probably to count the war damage, right?
Count how much food and population the Guiyi Army has left, and bring them back to Jiangling in one go.

After all, with the current appearance, it is really unreliable to want to fight against the Donghu people and start an incident behind enemy lines.

It would be nice not to drag the court down, and there is no hope at all.

Zhong Xuan looked at Lu Fengfu dressed as a civil servant and riding a four-wheeled cart instead of a horse. Although he was tall and powerful, he didn't think much about it.

Should be a literati.

It's just a pity, without Dian Chu and Zhao Ning, a second-rate macho is fine!

However, it is not bad to have a civil servant to help him stabilize Xiping County and stabilize the morale of the army.

It can even be said that this is what the Guiyi Army needs most at present.

Moreover, when Zhongxuan was in Jiangling, he had heard of it.

The supervisors of the Han army were all trained by Chen Gong, who cut the thighs with stone slices.

In terms of boosting morale, he is very experienced and has exceptionally strong willpower.

Perhaps relying on his unique words, he could boost the morale of the Guiyi Army.

When the time comes to break through the blockade of the Donghu people, and let the remnants go all the way south, they will be more confident, and it can be regarded as living up to Zhang Yiping's efforts in his lifetime.

"Master Lu, I summoned you to ask for advice."

Liu Ke looked at Lu Fengfu with a smile, and with this pair of treasures, it would be difficult for Zhang Dingguo to live.

Lu Fengfu patted his chest with confidence:
"Your Majesty just ask. I have read poetry and books since I was a child, and I am quick-witted. I will definitely be able to solve your Majesty's doubts."

Liu Ke's complexion changed, apart from grief, there was also a bit of resentment:

"In the Guiyi Army, there was a man named Zhang Dingguo. Zhang Dingguo didn't want to fight against the Donghu people, but was moved by the Donghu people's security order."

Lu Fengfu dismissed it, and exhaled hot air from the tip of his nose:
"A half-hearted and half-hearted person!"

Liu Ke said again:

"Zhang Dingguo not only secretly accepted the recruitment order, but also secretly murdered Zhang Yiping, the leader of the Guiyi Army."

Lu Fengfu frowned, already a little annoyed:
"This Dingguo really deserves to die!!"

Liu Ke sighed:
"Now, with Zhang Yiping's body and a large number of rebels under his arm, he has taken refuge with the Donghu people."

There was only a clicking sound, and Lu Fengfu's joints creaked, his eyes flashed with anger, and his complexion became more and more gloomy.

His fists were clenched tightly, his knuckles were protruding, and his teeth were clenched tightly. He did not hide his inner anger at all. He was extremely angry:
"Lu Mou has always hated such unfaithful pigs and dogs!!"

The ground seemed to be dented by his stepping on it.

Even Zhong Xuan who was listening was a little stunned.

He prided himself on being brave, but in front of Lu Fengfu in front of him, he was like a kitten in the mouth of a tiger.

This is a literati? ? ?
Liu Ke remained calm and continued to ask:
"Zhang Dingguo is in the army. I'm afraid that he is eating, drinking and celebrating now. Maybe Zhang Yiping's head will be made into a skull wine cup and treasured."

"I want to avenge General Zhang and thousands of rebels, but after thinking hard, I still have no good plan."

"I don't know Master Lu, what good strategy can you teach me?"

Lu Fengfu made a gesture of beheading, and under the cross-cutting of the knife in his hand, he could hear gusts of wind:
"Lead your troops into the Donghu army, cut off the dog's head of Dingguo, and then fight out."

Clean and neat, simple and direct, in his opinion, this is the simplest and most effective trick.

Liu Ke spread his hands:

"Mr. Zhong thinks so too."

"He has prepared fifty rides, then we can set off."

"Set off?"

Zhong Xuan was still in the fog for a while, feeling a little tangled in his heart.

Looking at the situation, the emperor wanted to take Lu Fengfu with him to the Donghu army and cut Zhang Dingguo down.

The emperor's bravery is famous all over the world, and he is a saint and son of heaven, with his destiny in his body.

If he couldn't keep it together, he summoned Lei Ting, who was hacked to death by Zhang Dingguo eight hundred miles away.

Looking at Lu Fengfu's appearance, he seemed quite brave.

It is natural to be more confident in rushing like this.

But the emperor is the emperor after all, the Son of Heaven above tens of millions, with such a noble body, it is somewhat too risky to follow him to risk himself.

Zhong Xuan simply didn't want to.

Anyway, Zhang Dingguo must die.
-
"General Zhang is really a god!"

That night, in the camp of Donghu who was in charge of suppressing bandits and suppressing rebellion.

A Puqian general with a smell of sheep all over his body was holding Zhang Dingguo's hand with an excited expression.

No wonder he wasn't excited.

Pu Qianguang didn't like reading since he was a child, but only loved field hunting and martial arts. Later, because of his meritorious service in governing the region, he was promoted forever by Puqian Khan, the current Khan of the Puqian tribe.

He is proficient in the art of war, brave and good at fighting.

But even so, he was still no match for Zhang Yiping.

After all, he was a strong man who could survive Liu Ke's hands.

Therefore, Pu Qianguang was very distressed by the Guiyi Army who had been doing nothing.

Fortunately, after Dahe Chucai visited his own King Khan before, King Khan adopted his strategy and began to suppress the rebellion while recruiting security.

Zhao'an shook the morale of the Guiyi Army, and many soldiers of the Guiyi Army who were not so determined came to vote one after another.

And Zhang Dingguo is even more heavyweight.

Not only accepted the recruitment, but also directly killed the leader of the Guiyi Army, Zhang Yiping, who caused Pu Qianguang a headache, as a certificate of honor.

Zhang Yiping's body was beside him.

I can only look at the words and jokes during the banquet, and die with regret.

Beside Pu Qianguang, the Donghu generals who accompanied him, although they didn't say much.

But the astonishment on his face and the joy in his heart cannot be concealed.

Thinking about it, no matter how they beat the Guiyi army before, they couldn't hurt their muscles.

That Zhang Yiping is really capable, no matter whether it is Wen Tao or Wu Lue, he can't find any faults.

It is too difficult for such a comprehensive general to win easily, that is to say, Liu Zhi'er can win in one battle.

As a result, Pu Qianguang's army should eat and sleep every day, and then look for opportunities to see if they can fight the Guiyi army.

As a result, as soon as he woke up that day, he discovered that Zhang Dingguo had not only instigated nearly [-] soldiers of the Guiyi Army, but also beat the Guiyi Army to pieces.

It was even more miraculous, killing Zhang Yiping and bringing his head to the army.

Could there be a better situation than this?

Even if Pu Qianguang thought early on that the strategy of recruiting security might attract some big fish, he felt that he could take advantage of it.

But even so, he never expected that the Zhang Dingguo in front of him would be able to do this!

Pu Qianguang directly ordered to reward the three armies and let the soldiers have a good meal, which was extremely courteous. He led the army to join Zhang Dingguo and was directly regarded as the guest of honor.

After all, after this, the Guiyi Army is equivalent to disbanding.

Even after listening to Zhang Dingguo, there is another Zhongxuan who went south to seek support from the Dahan court, but the Dahan would definitely not send support, so there is no need to worry.

You didn't take down Jingzhou, the roads are impassable, and you still want to support Runan?

I don't even dream of doing this!
During the banquet, Zhang Dingguo's cronies gave Donghu generals a vivid description of how to destroy the Guiyi army.

Hearing this, all the generals of the Eastern Hu army were in admiration.

Niubi!

It's really rare in the world that Er Wuzi can do what you do!

Zhang Dingguo thinks it's nothing, at least his reputation is a bit ugly, but he must have status and power.

As long as you have status and power, why worry about your reputation?
Even if the big man is in full swing now, it doesn't matter.

When the Han army hits Runan and Puqian, when will it be?

In front of the Han army, there is the whole of Jingbei, Xiangyang, which is a strong city in the world, the Shi Zhouhe tribe, and the Qiyan tribe.

Where is this!

Even if the Han army really hit Runan four or fifty years later, whether Zhang Dingguo is still alive is still a question.

Even if the Han army can fight over in only two or thirty years, it is not a problem.

At that time, I will rely on the big man again, isn't it all right?
With chips in hand, there is capital to jump repeatedly.

Zhang Dingguo didn't have any psychological burden on being a second or fifth son.

And it is on the high ground behind Donghu camp.

Liu Ke, Zhong Xuan, and Lu Fengfu are spying on the camp.

Zhong Xuan took the lead in saying:
"Judging by the scale of the camp, there are probably fifty thousand soldiers and horses in this army."

The surrounding area is extremely quiet.

Never expected that there were so many enemy troops.

According to most people's thinking, Zhang Dingguo should only have about 1 people he took away.

At most, add some Donghu people who came to accept the surrender.

As long as Zhang Dingguo is killed, and then he raises his arms to let those rebellious brothers surrender again, or directly deter them, then the battle will naturally be successful.

But now there are still tens of thousands of Donghu soldiers in the front, the Donghu army!

This is not something that can be solved with a wave of arms.

Fifty riders charge fifty thousand. Throughout the ages, who would dare to do this?
The one-armed Chen Rui broke the silence in a low voice, hesitating his words, appearing very nervous:

"It looks like the camp should be celebrating."

"However, there must be soldiers patrolling the camp."

"I'm afraid that as soon as we rush in, thousands of people will come to besiege us."

Everyone was speechless for a while.

"One thing to say, indeed."

Liu Ke couldn't help but sneered:
"If you want to take the head of an enemy general among thousands of troops, you still need to consider how many troops the opponent has?"

"Whether he is tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, can we still expect them to stay still and let us kill people before running out?"

"It's nothing more than killing these people in fear and making them mess up!"

This Chen Rui was a bit courageous, with only one arm left, he dared to fight with them.

But there are only a few.

When you are really ready for battle, looking at the number of enemy troops, you will still feel timid.

It's human nature, Liu Ke expressed his understanding, and it would be nice to follow him.

The ones that really work have to be his clothes, as well as Zhong Xuan and Lu Fengfu.

"How sure are you?"

"Basically, Zhang Dingguo, a capricious villain, must die!!"

Lu Fengfu's eyes were burning.

He was really pissed off by Zhang Dingguo.

Neither Wei Chengxian nor Shi Zhouhao's A Sui went too far.

Zhang Dingguo not only turned against the water, but also chopped off his old boss as a vote of honor before turning against the water.

It's really unbearable.

He purposely took the best halberd from the Guiyi army, even if he was able to kill him, Zhang Dingguo had to save his life today.

".Fifty percent."

Zhong Xuan is quite conservative, and at the same time encouraged the brothers around him:

"This marching and fighting is a matter of seeing whether God will save face. There is nothing absolutely impossible."

"Swords have no eyes, and arrows are ruthless. Maybe we don't have to rush there. The Donghu people are eating and drinking, and the camp suddenly flooded, directly burning Zhang Dingguo to death."

After hearing this, Chen Rui and the others gained a little confidence.

But looking at the vast and endless camp, I still feel a little guilty.

Fifty against fifty thousand, the advantage is not mine!

"Eighty percent, fifty percent"

Liu Ke nodded, and said in a serious manner:

"That's [-]% sure."

"We waited for 50 people to go deep into the enemy's hinterland. We are [-]% sure that we will win the game. Now that we are [-]% sure, what else can we say?"

Not only is it not good at counting, but it is also extraordinarily frivolous.

But in the ears of Chen Rui and others, they felt that it was extremely reliable.

It is even more reliable than Zhong Xuan's well-founded analysis before.

With a full [-]% certainty, the Donghu people have a negative [-]% chance of winning!
"Thirteen percent, thirteen percent"

Fifty riders chanted like a demon.

The words just now seemed to be echoing in his ears.

Infected by that firm self-confidence, they seemed to hear the cry of victory in a trance. For some reason, their morale went up immediately.

The chest was heaving violently, and everyone's eyes were shining with excitement and determination.

Everyone is already clenching their weapons and reins, clenching their teeth, and ready to charge at any time.

Seeing that the morale was available, Liu Ke searched thousands of Baidu in the big camp, and found the easiest place to rush to the Chinese army's big tent.

Dang even raised the chessboard spear and shouted:
"Follow me!"
