Alien Summoning System

Chapter 128 Seizing Power
Yanmenguan

The aura of desolation pervades all things in desolation. Zhang Yue, the guard of Yanmen, feels the tremors on the ground. In the distance, the flag representing the Houjin Banner can be vaguely seen. Thousands of horses are galloping, and black clouds are overwhelming the city. The feeling of oppression slowly came. For such a scene, for a famous frontier general who has been on the battlefield for a long time, Zhang Yue would not have made Zhang Yue nervous, but at this moment, the hand holding the saber was unconsciously sweating.

Thinking of the news that came from the capital yesterday, a trace of hesitation once again appeared in my heart.

Switch to offer the city!Afterwards, Jin's army entered the customs and approached Taiyuan.

This is unacceptable for a general who guards the border and has spent half his life resisting the invasion of Houjin and Mongolia. He knows very well that once the city is opened, the name of traitor will make him notorious for thousands of years.

However, thinking of his wife, children, and children, his originally firm heart was shaken at this moment. Not everyone can abandon their family members for the sake of the country.

"General Zhang, are you nervous?" The indifferent voice rang in his ears, causing Zhang Yue, who was suffering in his heart, to tremble subconsciously.

"No, it's just that the general has occasionally felt unwell recently, and Lord Lao is worried." Zhang Yue let out a breath slowly, adjusted his mood, and said with a smile on his face. He couldn't figure it out. Why did the new Shanxi chief envoy who took office in Taiyuan appear in Yanmen? Knowing the plan of the eunuch Cao, come here one step ahead of time?
"That's good. The enemy is already approaching the city. It's time for the general to take action." Zhuo Ao looked down at the vast Houjin army from the city wall, without any expression on his face, but Zhang Yue was impressed by his fearless demeanor in the face of danger. Facing the momentum of thousands of troops, such calmness cannot be pretended.

"Okay!" At this moment, Zhang Yue couldn't help hesitating anymore, slowly pulled out the sword from his waist, and said in a deep voice: "The three armies obey the order, open the city gate!"

The sword rested on Zhuo Ao's shoulders: "Forgive me, my lord, the last general has no other choice."

"What are you waiting for, open the city gate!" Seeing many soldiers hesitate, Zhang Yue shouted sharply.

"General Zhang, have you thought it through? If you take this step, there is no turning back." Zhuo Ao said indifferently.

"The lives of my whole family are being held by others. I have no choice." Zhang Yue shook his head. Under his order, the city gate finally opened slowly, and Hou Jin's cavalry let out a sound of excited blame. Shouting, rushing towards the city gate.

"It's a pity." Looking at Zhang Yue, Zhuo Ao's imaginary anger did not appear on his face, and his face was as calm as ever, which made people fearful.

"What a pity?" Now that the matter has been done, Zhang Yue is willing to go all out. Seeing that Jin Dajun has come to the city, he is slightly relieved. At this moment, a red figure flashed before his eyes. With more horrified eyes, he jumped directly from the three-foot-high tower.

She was always by Zhuo Ao's side, that beautiful girl, Zhang Yue had a deep impression on that gentle and playful beautiful woman, she was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen in this life, she died like this, He couldn't help but feel a little sorry.

There was a hint of coolness, as if the temperature at Yanmen closed suddenly dropped several degrees at this moment.

"Ice and snow!" Zhang Yue subconsciously turned his head to look down the city amidst a soft voice, a glare of light made him unable to open his eyes.

"General... general... general, this..." A confidant guard looked at the scene below the tower in disbelief, his voice became stammered, and he kept backing away with a hellish expression, sitting on Zhang Yue's buttocks. feet.

"Go away, useless trash!" Zhang Yue kicked his cronies aside with a dark face, and subconsciously looked down the city again, but the next moment, Zhang Yue also froze in place.

Under the city wall, the city gate was wide open. However, the post-gold iron cavalry who had just swallowed mountains and rivers, as if trying to destroy all obstacles, was frozen in the open space in front of Yanmen Pass at this moment.

The sound of shouting and killing disappeared as if frozen at a certain moment. In the world, it seemed that only the Yanmen was closed, and the breathing and heartbeat of the soldiers of Ming Dynasty were closed, and the momentum of galloping horses was still there. Freezing, people and horses were frozen into ice sculptures on the desolate battlefield, in front of Yanmen Pass, with a radius of hundreds of feet, except for the girl named Xiao Zhao, there was no one alive.

"I thought I would give you a chance to be loyal to me, but now it seems that there is no need for it." Ignoring the sword on his neck, Zhuo Ao stomped on the city wall with both hands, watching the Yanmen pass, the hundreds of meters away. Outside, the army of Hou Jin who was lingering, shook his head and sighed: "The general has no courage, and the soldiers have lost their courage. It seems that Hou Jin has no courage to enter the city again. Eunuch Cao didn't just prepare such a play, did he? That would be so disappointing.”

"Don't forget, your life is still in my hands!" Zhang Yue roared while trying to control the trembling of his body.

"That's because you read it wrong." Zhuo Ao didn't turn his head, he stretched out a big hand suddenly, Zhang Yue's burly body was picked up from the ground like a chicken at this moment.

"Is there any last words?" Zhuo Ao turned his head and looked at Zhang Yue who was powerlessly throwing away the sword in the hands of Huo Gong Toutuo, and sighed.

"My wife, children, and children are still in the hands of old thief Cao..." The situation was reversed in an instant, looking at Zhuo Ao, Zhang Yue lost all his strength.

"Leave it to me, let's go." Nodding, Zhuo Ao said indifferently.

"Thank you!" A gleam of light flashed in Zhang Yue's eyes, but as the fireworker Toutuo pressed his fingers hard, and there was a crisp sound of clicking, the gleam of light also dimmed in an instant.

"Cthulhu, this matter is entrusted to you. His wife and children will be raised by the Chief Secretary in the future." Zhuo Ao didn't look back, but said indifferently.

"Yes." Huoyun Cthulhu nodded.

"Zilong, I will hand over Yanmen Pass to you, and the military power must be in my own hands." Looking at Zhao Yun, Zhuo Ao said.

"The last general takes orders." Zhao Yun said with a bow.

Glancing at the Baizhang Ice Field under the city wall, Zhuo Ao smiled silently, the army in the world of high martial arts is actually really miserable, a martial arts master can knock down a whole group with one big move, although with Xiao Zhao's current ability, such His ultimate move can only be released once, and the number of dead is not too many compared to Hou Jin's army, but it is enough to make him terrified.

"Close the city gate!" Zhao Yun's voice sounded, although theoretically speaking, Zhuo Ao, the chief envoy, had no right to intervene in border defense, but now, at least following Zhao Yun's order, no one dared to refute or question.

"Husband, what should we do next? According to the current situation, the eunuch surnamed Cao has no sincerity at all." Xiao Zhao walked over, and the surrounding soldiers hurriedly made way for a passage.

"If you are sincere, you will be a ghost. I am looking for him, just to get a title of integrity." Shaking his head: "The chief secretary is not in a hurry to take over, but to sit here firmly, first hold the general power in his hands, and the frontier army has already started , then it will be much easier.”

Since the mission stipulated by the system didn't limit him to follow the plot, Zhuo Ao didn't bother to care about the messy things in the Jianghu. In comparison, this world is only used as a role-playing role. On the contrary, it made him more interested.

It's just that so far, Zhuo Ao has not been able to determine whether this is a secret realm with a movie as the background or a TV series as the background. If it is a TV series, he thinks of the old monster that has lived in the dark for thousands of years and existed during the Qin Shihuang period. It's a bit of a headache, but the movie world is much simpler.

Next, Zhuo Ao spent two months changing the generals of the garrison in Shanxi one by one. Except for a very small number of former generals, they were either dismissed, expelled from the army, or directly killed. For the generals, it was Zhuo Ao who found some capable generals in the army who were depressed because of background and other issues.

These people have prestige in the army, but because they have been suppressed by their superiors all year round, they cannot be reused, and they basically have no cronies and influence at the top. Now they are promoted by Zhuo Ao, they can only rely on Zhuo Ao tightly, and become Zhuo Ao's subordinates. With the help and support of Zhuo Ao, the confidants gradually pulled out the old forces in the general one by one. In two months, Zhuo Ao took control of the entire military power in Shanxi without bloodshed.

Two months later, a group of officials in Taiyuan who were ready to make things difficult for Zhuo Ao finally expected Zhuo Ao's arrival, but before they had time to perform the trick they had prepared, they watched in astonishment as the army following Zhuo Ao quickly approached Zhuo Ao. All the important places in Taiyuan were occupied, and the original defenders in Taiyuan were all disarmed and locked up in the barracks. Facing the vicious border troops, these defenders who were used to being veteran soldiers in the provincial capital really had no temper at all.

Moreover, in the city, from the high-ranking officials to the small officials in the yamen, the whole family is under the control of the army. My whole family, young and old, and all the officials in Taiyuan were completely persuaded.

Just kidding, even if they are free, those damn soldiers want to do something to kill people. In the past few days, all the officials in the city can't even sleep well. Who would dare to fight against Zhuo Ao at this time?So next, every decree of Zhuo Ao was executed with the highest efficiency.

Of course, Zhuo Ao also knew that this high-handed coercion method can be used for a while, but it cannot be used forever. During the process of governance, it is not short of looking for candidates who can take over these positions. They cleaned it thoroughly and replaced it with Zhuo Ao's people. Although it was against the law, the entire military and political power in Shanxi was owned by Zhuo Ao alone, and the sky was far above the emperor. No one could resist Zhuo Ao's strong style.
