I don't know how many explosives this Zheng De made, and all the walls of the entire palace collapsed all at once.

Fortunately, Gao Shun was not too close to the city wall because the gentry set fire to it.But the bricks and stones from the explosion killed Gao Shun's soldiers to death. There were also shock waves and loud noises, and Gao Shun was immediately deaf.

This is considered lucky, because Gao Shun is commanding from the back of the trapped camp.None of the more than 200 people in front did not pass out, and some even died directly.

If Zheng De can detonate in advance, at the time when the two sides are killing each other at the gate of the city, it is estimated that more than half of the trapped camp will not survive.Now because of the strong fire wine, there are not many people here at the city gate.

And most of the living people are more than 200 meters away from the gate of the city. Many Xiliang soldiers and servants have fled, and only a small number of people are at the gate of the city.This includes Yang Xiu, because he is now ready to die together.

Amid the loud explosion, Yang Xiu's body was swept away like a rag, part of his body flew more than 20 meters, and his head landed in the yard in front of Zheng De.

The house on Zheng De's side and the buildings within more than 20 meters near the palace all collapsed.If Zheng De hadn't been pulled by Hao Meng, he would have been buried by a huge explosion.

Zheng De was really frightened, and he didn't expect this thing to be so powerful.It is usually heard that this is used to blow up the city gate, so he directly put the explosives under the city gate and the city wall.

Basically put all the explosives that Zheng De had accumulated in the last one or two years into it. I never expected this thing to be so powerful.If he knew how powerful this thing was, Zheng De would never have gotten so close.

The same is true for Mi Zhu next to him, with a cut in his head and blood all over his face.The soldier at the door was already dead. If Hao Meng hadn't just come in at this time, he would have died too.

A few people ran outside trembling. As for the person in the house who was brought down by Jiang Qingqing, they didn't care... Who knows if the house will collapse.

Jiang Qingqing originally planned to stop those people, but just after she jumped out of the window, she was affected by the shock wave of the explosion.She was already thin and small and bumped into a room next door. Although Jiang Qingqing covered her head with her hands to hide, she still felt a little sweet in her mouth.

"Fuck, how much medicine did this guy take?!" Jiang Qingqing didn't intend to leave, she felt that her bones were hurting, so she touched a bed next to her and climbed up to rest.

And the most shocked one was Liu Bian. The huge explosion even caused a corner of the palace to collapse. Jian Shuo reacted very quickly and rushed up to block Liu Bian under him.

The shaking lasted for more than ten seconds before it stopped, and Liu Bian was so frightened that he was sweating.He was calm because everything was under his control, but this big bang was definitely not.

Although Liu Bian also knew about the other party's planting of explosives through Jin Yiwei, but Jiang Qingqing went to deal with it earlier, why did it still explode? !

"Hurry up and send someone out to see what happened!" Liu Bian shouted at Jian Shuo.At this moment, Liu Bian was afraid that something might go wrong.

Soon Jian Shuo went out to check the situation, and Jian Shuo was also very frightened when he saw that half of the trapped camp was gone.The city gate and the not-so-big city wall disappeared immediately, and two oval-shaped pits with a diameter of less than seven or eight feet were seen at the original position of the city gate.

There were bursts of green smoke coming out of it, and a pungent sulfur or other smell permeated the entire area.A large area of ​​the streets and houses outside disappeared, and there was not even a single person.

"What happened?" Jian Shuo was naturally confused.Perhaps this mutiny will be dubbed the world's first large-scale use of explosives in the future, but it has caused many people to collapse now.

The Xiongnu people, Xiliang people, Youzhou people, Fuyu people who were still fighting with each other... more than half of them knelt down.This thing is almost like a miracle, but this is at night... Many people seem to have seen the sun.

The plain has not been invaded by the enemy for many years, or it has been fighting and war.But tonight is indeed a night of bloodshed. The soldiers don't care whether you are a civilian or not, especially those Xiongnu and Xiliang people.

It’s okay to honestly hide in the house, but if you want to go out to see what’s going on, most of those people won’t be able to go back.Moreover, some rebels even went to the civilian areas to rape and loot. It is conservatively estimated that the casualties of civilians must be four to five thousand.

Especially the last round of explosions basically completely destroyed some buildings outside the palace.Although there are no civilian facilities here, it has the largest inn in the plain.

When order was restored in the city the next day, more than a hundred people were killed or injured in this inn.After taking a break, Jiang Qingqing went to report the situation to Liu Bian.

Yang Xiu was killed in the explosion, and in the end only some residual limbs and severed arms were found.Ma Xiu of the Ma family died in the rebellion, and Ma Tie was captured alive by the Qingzhou Army.As for the power of the gentry, it was completely emptied, because most of the gentry were uprooted.

Jia Xu is actually similar to Zhi Yuan, if he does it, he will not give the enemy a chance to fight back.The descendants of those gentry who were quietly transferred away were also killed by Jia Xu and Jiang Qingqing's spies.

Jia Xu will definitely not cause trouble for himself in the future if he cuts the weeds and eradicates the roots.The businessmen Zheng De and Mi Zhu were also detained and controlled.These people are a bit difficult to deal with, because many people are also from the Zhiyuan school.

It's just that the Zhiyuan faction was divided into two parts, and even Jia Xu didn't dare to do anything to Zheng De.In the end, they could only put these people and Zhen Ji in the cell together, and wait for Zhi Yuan to come back to make a decision.

It's no wonder that Liu Bian was afraid of Zhiyuan, because the next day after cleaning up the corpses and appeasing the civilians.The rest of the entire court were all Zhiyuan people, and the other forces were swept away.

Even last night, Zhiyuan lost a lot of people because of the gentry and the business alliance.But now the entire court, after reducing the number of people by half, finally all the remaining people are Zhiyuan's subordinates.

Can Liu Bian not be afraid?It would be like this for any emperor.Some of Zhiyuan's subordinates are very happy, because they can control the court.The other part, or the high-level, is worried.

Zhiyuan will never become emperor, Jia Xu and Xi Zhicai have a deep understanding of Zhiyuan's character.I'm afraid that if the world is settled, the lord himself will retire and run away.So even though they are all from the Zhiyuan faction, they might be cleaned up by Zhiyuan themselves.

But the emperor didn't know, that's why Jia Xu and Xi Zhicai didn't deal with the business alliance.The two sides had a very tacit understanding and did not mention those people. Instead, they listed countless crimes against the gentry.

And because two of the Sangongs had already died, Jia Xu directly proposed official reform.Take out the system of three lives and six departments, and the imperial examination system.And to suppress the gentry, or in other words, to guard against the gentry.

Jia Xu directly affirmed that the emperor used Jinyiwei to monitor all the literati, as long as he leaked some intentions to dare to resist the big man, he would be directly imprisoned for trial...

As a result, Jia Xu pushed out a Han Dynasty version of the literary inquisition.

Chapter 530 Three: Fate ([-])

Zang Ba was fine in the end, because he did not take refuge in the gentry anyway, and he also captured the leader of the gentry, Chen Qun, alive.

But the guard work of the palace, that is, Habayashi Qi, will never be managed by Zang Ba.Finally, the emperor thought about it and asked Zang Ba to manage the prisoners first, and dig coal here in Qingzhou.

Zang Ba also readily agreed, although this is definitely not a good job, but at least his official career has been saved.As long as they use money to win over some high-level officials in the future, it is not that there is no chance of returning to Pingyuan to be an official.

On the contrary, because Gao Shun was on the right team from the beginning, Liu Bian directly asked him to manage all the Habayashi cavalry, and the number of this team was controlled at [-].

After the Zhiyuan faction became dominant, Liu Bian found that Gao Shun was the only one he could control.

Although Xu Huang also obeyed his orders, he was sent to Jingzhou by the emperor after all.Jingzhou is rich... This can be regarded as a main source of money for the emperor's private house.After all, the Son of Heaven must have his own influence, and he cannot rely on Zhiyuan for everything.

The Zhiyuan faction also admitted their mistakes and wanted to execute Wang Juyi.Because what this guy did was to betray the interests of the Zhiyuan faction, or in other words, the interests of the country.

And because of monopolizing the labor market, it also caused a lot of oppression of civilians, and he can do such things as forcing good people into prostitution.After the coup failed, Xi Zhicai ransacked his home that night, and found more than 5000 million copper coins in his home.

Naturally, there were countless gold, silver and cloth items, and there were even more than 30 young and beautiful women who were occupied by him.

What is the difference between this kind of behavior and the gentry? The Zhiyuan faction, which thinks it is the opposite of the gentry, naturally wants to draw a line with him.With Jin Yiwei's investigation, more and more problems emerged, and many officials were involved.

Xi Zhicai made a deadly move again, and all officials who found out the problem will be sentenced according to the law of the big man.If execution is required, the execution will be carried out after the trial together with some gentry.

In the end, when things subsided completely, the two sides suffered more than 300 casualties in this conflict, and many people in important departments were killed and injured.Coupled with the fact that more than [-] people have been sentenced, in order to relieve the pressure on the court, the emperor is preparing to conduct the first imperial examination for the big man.

Anyone can participate, and the topics were discussed by the emperor with Xi Zhicai and others.The news broke out very quickly, as long as anyone who is literate in the country can participate.

Each state has different exam papers, and those who pass the first batch of exam papers can go to Beijing to take the second exam.These examination papers were escorted by Jin Yiwei to ensure relative fairness.

On average, a person has to take the exam three times, one in the local state, and the township exam is too time-consuming, and the exams are taken in several counties in the state at the same time.

Jinyiwei supervises the whole process, and those who cheat will not be admitted for life.If a local official violates the regulations, he will be directly dismissed and not allowed to be an official for life.This harshest punishment decision made this first imperial examination the fairest.

Moreover, Jia Xu wrote a letter hoping that the emperor would personally meet and promote those candidates, that is to say, let these people form their own school to become the emperor.Liu Bian couldn't help but sigh, the officials brought out by Zhi Yuan are still for the country.

On the night of the coup d'état, the sky was also full of wind and snow in the desert of Bingzhou.And Lu Bu finally led people to catch up. Lu Bu Ma Chao had no less than [-] cavalry, and this time he really tried his best.

In Lu Bu's mind, it was as if someone had ordered him to kill Tang Zhiyuan here, and everything in this world would return to normal.

So Lv Bu didn't care about the dissuasion of his subordinates, including the Hun Liu Bao, and led his people to catch up with the kite in the desert of Bingzhou as desperately as possible.Because it is winter now, coupled with the heavy snow, it is really not suitable for fighting.

Especially now that the ground is covered with heavy snow, daytime is not suitable for fighting at all, but today because of the heavy snow and no strong sunlight, Lu Bu directly ordered all the cavalry to press up and fight with Zhiyuan's soldiers.

Zhiyuan has been chased here for four or five days, and the soldiers under him are naturally very upset.One must know that they fought most of the Han Dynasty with Zhiyuan, and there were not many chances of being chased by people like this.

So when Zhiyuan planned to have a fight with Lu Bu, she basically held her breath up and down.Although Cao Cao is also chasing Zhi Yuan, most of the troops in front are Lu Bu and Ma Chao's troops, so it is not impossible for Zhi Yuan to defeat them.

Compared with Cao Cao's group of advisers, straightforward people like Lu Bu and Ma Chao are really much easier to deal with.What the Qingzhou Army is most afraid of is head-to-head confrontation. Whether it is equipment or quality, the Qingzhou Army dares to call it the strongest.

The desert stretches as far as the eye can see, and it is all white. The surrounding wind mixed with blizzard blows on the kite's face that is red from the cold. "Ma De, did Lu Bu take the wrong medicine?"

"Zhao Yun, you are in charge of holding Lu Bu down. Wei Yan goes to the cavalry side to support him, and be careful of the opponent's Ma Chao. Chen Dao is still strong...I will lead the infantry to defeat them from the front."

Zhi Yuan was cursing at Lu Bu, although she did want to kill Lu Bu, but using infantry to fight cavalry... Even if she wins, her side's losses will not be small, Zhi Yuan's heart is still her own subordinates.

But now people don't care about it, they have to force themselves to fight, Zhiyuan is not really afraid of the opponent, since the opponent wants to fight, Zhiyuan will definitely accompany her.

Because there were many people on Zhiyuan's side, the road they walked was already relatively smooth, so the cavalry on Lu Bu's side could also charge.The only problem is that the snow must be very slippery, and it is not necessarily easy to stop after rushing.

But once you rush into the kite's camp, wouldn't it be better not to stop?A fine horse weighs several hundred pounds, so what if Zhiyuan has an iron shield.This was also Zhi Yuan's helplessness, and soon under the opponent's collision, gaps appeared in Zhi Yuan's infantry phalanx.

Lu Bu took advantage of the chaos and rushed in, taking the paper kite first.But at this time, Zhao Yun, who was in silver armor, stood in front of Lu Bu.

This time, no one needed rescue, Zhao Yun smiled at Lu Bu, "This time we'll have a good fight!"

"Only by you?" Lu Bu was very arrogant, the weapons of the two collided directly, and a series of sparks appeared.

Zhiyuan led people to the front and ordered his subordinates to quickly block the gaps in the defensive formation.She herself led the guards and hunted down nearby cavalry with javelins.

Since the battle started, the two sides have basically fallen into a melee, even if Zhi Yuan's military discipline is good, it is useless, the wind and snow are really too big.

And on the snow-capped ground, the continuous bursts of blood in the shape of plum blossoms are the key to this decisive battle.

Chapter 530 Four: Fate ([-])

The wind and snow were getting bigger and bigger, and many soldiers couldn't open their eyes.Even if the face is covered with cloth, it's useless, the wind and snow hit the face like a knife cut.

The Xiliang and Bingzhou cavalry had a bit of a local advantage. After all, they had also experienced the blizzard, so they could barely kill.

Many Qingzhou soldiers couldn't open their eyes, so they could only stab forward with their weapons. It was obvious that they had begun to be confused.Where is there such a heavy snow in Qingzhou, which caused Zhiyuan's combat effectiveness to plummet.

Zhiyuan could barely see the situation around her, and she was also a little anxious because there were fewer and fewer people on her side.After all, the number of enemies is twice as many as theirs now, and the opponents are all cavalry. They will suffer even more when they are divided and surrounded.

Zhiyuan looked at the weather and could only use a plug-in.She took a deep breath and muttered something.And a trace of cyan power emanated from his body, and this power spread in the air.

Soon...with the kite as the center, the wind and snow weakened significantly, and spread to about ten miles nearby. "Order all the soldiers to assemble and use the phalanx to resist the cavalry."

Zhi Yuan ordered Chen Dao to take her down, but she herself felt that the power in her body was draining rapidly.

This is not the end of the previous release of Taoism, this time it is continuous control.The kite can't fundamentally change this kind of weather, she doesn't have the ability to change the sky yet.

So the weakening of the nearby wind and snow was only maintained by the kite with its own strength.This kind of consumption is a lot, but Zhiyuan can only use this method to regroup her soldiers from a scattered state.

The cavalry on Lu Bu's side had already lost their initial speed, and Zhiyuan's side would have the advantage after the infantry lined up.So Zhiyuan could only persevere a little longer, trying to buy more time for her subordinates.

But just after Zhiyuan used the power of Taoism, the bloody power in Lu Bu's eyes became stronger.Just a few minutes after the paper kite spell acted. "Kill!" Lu Bu yelled looking at Zhi Yuan's direction, actually pushing Zhao Yun and his horse back a few steps.

Zhao Yun's hands were numb from Lu Bu's sudden outburst. This is simply not the power a human should have.

And Lu Bu, who forced Zhao Yun away, rushed towards Zhi Yuan immediately.The distance between the two sides was only about 200 meters, which was just over ten seconds.

When Zhiyuan cast the spell, she felt locked on by a strong killing intent.And there seemed to be an unknown energy in that killing intent, which made Zhiyuan feel terrified.

Suddenly Zhi Yuan thought of something, Yu Ji told her back then that the Dao of Heaven appointed the Son of Destiny, could it be Lu Bu? !The current Lu Bu is definitely not like a normal person.

Zhiyuan had no choice but to stop casting the spell, otherwise she would have to explain here.The spell lasted only a few minutes, and now Zhiyuan's subordinates had just calmed down and prepared to gather.

"Gaolu, take me to the north!" Zhiyuan shouted to Yuan Shu who was riding a horse behind her.

Lu Bu's target was himself, and the Xiliang army or the Huns were, to put it bluntly, forced to fight here by his power.As long as you lure Lu Bu away from your subordinates and lead them from Chen to Wei Yan, defeating the opponent is not a problem.

So Zhiyuan said to a messenger: "Let Wei Yan and Chen Dao defeat them, and then go north to find me!"

Zhiyuan turned over and jumped onto Yuan Shu's horse, Yuan Shu gritted his teeth and left with Zhiyuan.And nearly a hundred guards left with Zhi Yuan, while Shuai Qi was left where he was.

Lu Bu's expression seemed to be controlled by his own mind, he didn't care about Shuai Qi at all, but went directly after Zhi Yuan.When Lu Bu was running north, he suddenly saw the Hun King Liu Bao, and he shouted directly at Liu Bao: "Come with me!"

What the hell is Liu Bao?They got nothing and suffered heavy casualties.

But Lu Bu was getting more and more terrifying, so that Liu Bao and the other Huns didn't have any desire to resist.He had no choice but to follow Lu Bu with a few hundred people and chase them out.

Behind them was Zhao Yun, and Zhi Yuan had to keep it even though he knew he might not be Lu Bu's opponent.So about 800 people left the battlefield, and even in the chaotic battlefield, many people didn't know what happened here.

A group of people rode to the north, but the speed was not fast.The speed of the heavy snow horses is really limited, and because of the strong wind, the physical strength of a group of people, whether they are humans or horses, declines very quickly.

Zhiyuan hugged Yuan Shu's waist behind his horse: "I said...then Lu Bu is getting closer and closer, maybe we will die here today, do you regret it?"

Yuan Shu laughed loudly and said, "No! The thing I, Yuan Gonglu, has never regretted is having a woman like you."

Zhiyuan smiled sweetly, not caring what the other soldiers around him thought.What's wrong?She is almost thirty and still can't find someone to date and marry?As for whether to abuse or not, it's other people's shit.

Well... But it was also because of running for a day, it seemed that the two horses who sat down couldn't stand being abused, and the hoofs in front of them were tilted, and the two people fell off the horse.

Yuan Shu's mount was also a good horse, but even the best horse dragged two men in heavy armor after running for a day, it was indeed a bit unbearable.

But now there is at least seven or eight inches of snow, so even if two people are thrown on the snow, they are not actually injured.Some of the cavalry on the side immediately gave up the extra horses. You must know that except for Zhi Yuan and the others, all the cavalry under him were on two horses.

Zhiyuan took a look at the horses, which were obviously a bit sluggish, and then looked around...and found that there seemed to be a hill not far away, so she immediately said: "Let's go to that hill to avoid the wind and snow, or else we will go to the hill tonight." They'll all freeze to death."

They did run out, but they didn't bring out any food, grass or baggage.A group of people didn't even have anything to keep warm except for some dry food they carried with them.

Now that it was late in the evening, if they didn't find a place to rest, they might be frozen to death at night.So they ran towards the mountain with the fastest speed, and reached the foot of the mountain after half an hour.

After arriving here, Zhiyuan was slightly taken aback, because there are not only mountains here, but also a small deep valley. The place where the deep valley and the cliff connect is a steep cliff, but Zhiyuan knows that this is definitely a shelter from the wind.

Zhiyuan looked behind her, and to be honest, she couldn't see anyone because of the heavy snow.But Zhiyuan knew in her heart that Lu Bu was right behind them.

"Don't go, go there first, I see that there seems to be a big cave in the valley. Everyone go to rest and eat some dry food..."

"If Lu Bu comes over at this time, they must have a lot of physical strength, it depends on who can recover faster!" Zhi Yuan thought about it.

These cavalrymen had bows and crossbows with them, and Lu Bu had been running for a whole day. She couldn't believe that the other party dared to charge into the cave they had arranged in advance.

As for tomorrow, it would be best if they froze to death outside.
