"Guo Zhenyue was a bandit first and harmed Hedong."
"Another major breach of integrity has led to the entry of foreign thieves."
"Pass my order to dismember the body and send it to all the cities in Hedong!"
"By the way, keep the head and marinate it!"
"yes!"
After Zhou Che issued this order, the smart Jia Dao did not make any statement.
On the contrary, Zhou Che himself was silent.
"Are you suffering from the current situation?" Jia Dao asked.
"That's not true." Zhou Che shook his head and pointed with his horsewhip at the kneeling crowd in front of him: "Although there are many defeated troops and the situation is chaotic, it is not difficult to wipe out all the major enemies."
"When we open a new mine, we are most in need of labor. How can we think there are too many people?"
Jia Dao nodded, his eyes flashing: "Are you considering returning to the DPRK?"
"That's right." Zhou Che nodded: "I'm wondering if I can take him away with the evidence provided by Li Shi if I take the credit."
Jia Dao rolled his eyes and said, "When you say carry him away, do you want him to be crippled, or just..."
He did not say any more, but made a gesture on his neck with the knife.
"I'm a person who always pays attention to doing things in one step. The most important thing is to avoid resurgence." Zhou Che smiled: "If you can be crippled, don't be intact. If you can kill, don't be able to breathe. Do you still care about showing mercy to the enemy?"
Jia Dao chuckled, seemingly satisfied with Zhou Che's answer, and then said seriously: "Then I don't think you can kill him like this."
Zhou Che raised his eyebrows: "Why?"
"If you return to the court immediately and confess to the world that you are Zhou Jiao and Zhou Ming's collaborators with the enemy, it will definitely cause a great shock in the world."
"As the emperor's heir, you deigned to take risks and quell the rebellion, which can be called a miracle... But the emperors in the past have done many great things, and the ministers and common people have never heard of it."
"But the fact that the fifth prince collaborated with the enemy will definitely be a huge scandal for the royal family, and the whole royal family will lose face!"
Hearing this, Zhou Che said subconsciously: "So my father will kill him with one knife to thank the world, right?"
"No." Jia Dao shook his head, his eyes cunning: "Because the emperor has a better way to prevent the royal family from being stained by this stain."
"Huh?!" Zhou Che was stunned for a moment and then reacted: "Let someone take the blame?"
"Yes, let people take the blame, let Li take the blame!" Jia Dao coughed: "The Li family clung to the royal family, but acted as a savior in Hedong, and framed the royal family. Isn't it too much to blame the nine other clans?"
"Due to the loss of his wife's family, the fifth prince will inevitably withdraw from the fight for the heir, but the emperor will definitely save his life to prove that the fifth prince's wife's family is at fault and he is not guilty of collaborating with the enemy."
"As for you who confessed all this, even though you have extraordinary achievements, you may not not be hated by the emperor. You are just hiding it and not revealing it."
The last sentence made Zhou Che's heart tremble slightly.
Those who are hated by the emperor will definitely not be able to become successors!
On the contrary, the emperor will definitely find an opportunity to kill this person and clear the way for his chosen successor.
Unless, my own strength is strong enough to overwhelm the emperor...
"To make the emperor disgusted, to make the Li family extinct, to make Zhou Ming immortal..." Zhou Che suddenly laughed angrily: "According to you, I have such a great achievement, but it only has disadvantages and no benefits?"
"Of course not!" Jia Dao shook his head repeatedly, and then affirmed: "Such a wonderful skill must be of great use. As long as you use it properly, you can use it to establish an heir, establish a firm foothold, and eliminate stubborn enemies."
"I have a plan to steal all his wealth, cut off his wings, and eliminate his hope of survival. Finally, I will secretly provide evidence of his guilt and make him die in fear of despair."
"In this way, you can not only take care of the emperor's face, but also keep Li for your use, and even let him die..."
Jia Dao's plan can be summarized as three steps: first deceive, then rob, and then threaten.
Finally, the veteran concluded: "Your Highness, court is different from the battlefield. Drawing a sword directly is scary, but the blade in the dark is the most deadly!"
"Old guy, you are really bad!"
Zhou Che suddenly laughed, which made Jia Dao feel awkward and shook his head to explain something.
Zhou Che patted him on the shoulder again, and then let out a sinister laugh: "But, I like bad ones."
"If you can't kill others, you will be killed by others."
"Kill others and everything will be mine."
"Do as you say!"
Jia Dao looked happy and quickly raised his hand: "Your Highness is wise!"
Although they didn't get along for long, Jia Dao, who considered himself to be very discerning, felt that Zhou Che was much better than Guo Zhenyue.
Courageous, decisive in doing things, ruthless but not ruthless, evil but not kind... Moreover, he can listen to others' advice at a young age!
——Outside Zhenbeiguan——
Hu Nu's cavalry was approaching rapidly.
The so-called Hu Nu, or Beinu, is a contemptuous name for the nomadic people in the north of the Han people.
The Hunu are composed of many tribes, and great dynasties have risen frequently, such as the Xiongnu, Xianbei and other tribes that have collapsed in history.
Two hundred years ago, another large tribe emerged, and the original name was Jianguo. Later, it was conquered by the Han people and split into two tribes, the west and the east.
The head of the Xiyuan Kingdom was weak and had no heirs. After his early death, his wife Xiao took over the power and took the title of Queen. She was called Empress Xiao, which was no different from the empress.
"Although there is an internal response, we still have to move faster to prevent things from changing!"
The speaker was a young man named Liang Yizhen, the current prince and heir of Xiyuan.
Naturally, I came here to make meritorious deeds.
Therefore, as a young man, his eyes burned with a fierce fighting spirit.
"The Han people are very deceitful. I'll go ahead and you can take care of me from behind."
A cold voice sounded, coming from the woman beside him.
The woman is extremely tall, with two straight long legs on the thin armor tightly locked on the horse's back.
She has light blond hair and blue eyes. Not only is she Han, she also looks very different from the Xiyuan people around her.
Xiao Yanzhi, the niece of Empress Xiao's mother's family.
Hearing this, Liang Yizhen glanced sideways at her: "You look down on me?"
Xiao Yanzhi looked indifferent: "It's just safe."
"Safety? So men have to hide behind women? Are the men in Ohara really worthless!?"
He sneered, indicating what he meant. Then he put his horse on his back and hurried forward: "Guard, follow me and break the gate!"
"yes!"
In the distance, Zhenbeiguan is vaguely visible.
"The barbarians are coming!"
Upstairs, the guard with a weathered look narrowed his eyes.
His thick, calloused palms kept slapping against the wall, seeming to be caught in some kind of struggle.
Liu Zhenhan was a veteran of Zhenbeiguan. After the Hedong Rebellion, he gradually took charge of the army. Because he integrated into the circle of thieves, he stayed in Zhenbeiguan permanently.
Seeing the general's mood, Sima beside him whispered: "General, I have received the order from Duke Guo earlier. He said..."
"He said he wanted to cooperate with Hu Nu?" Liu Zhenhan looked at Jun Sima.
"yes."
"What if I don't listen?"
"General, this is absolutely not possible." Sima panicked upon hearing this and said quickly: "If you ruin Duke Guo's plan, he will definitely not let you go!"
"Come here!" Liu Zhenhan said.
Sima looked timid, but still approached him.
Liu Zhenhan suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the opponent's crotch, and then snorted: "Damn it, isn't the basket still there? Why are you so cowardly?"
"You're afraid that Mr. Guo will settle a score with you, but aren't you afraid that the folks from Hedong will dig into your ancestral graves?"
"You are afraid that Zhou Jiao will overthrow Duke Guo, but you are not afraid that the barbarians will kill your brothers and heirs and use your wife, daughter and mother as dogs to ride on!?"
Sima's face was red with embarrassment, and Nono lowered his head.
After a while, Liang Yizhen led the vanguard and pushed to the gate downstairs. Someone stepped out and shouted:
"In response to the request of Lord Guo of Hedong, our court promised the two families to cooperate and sent troops to assist."
"Open the door quickly!"
Liu Zhenhan walked to the middle and shouted coldly: "Fuck your mother!"
"Between Han and Hu, you are the only one who kills my men and I sleep with your women. How can you cooperate with me?"
"If you are willing to send your mother-in-law up, I can consider it and work with her on it!"
Liang Yizhen's face showed anger: "Guo Zhenyue broke his promise?"
"Yes, Mr. Guo deliberately tricked you bastards to kill you!" Liu Zhenhan pulled out his saber, pointed at Liang Yizhen and said to the garrison on the Guan Tower: "Brothers, take aim and shoot for me. Whoever can bring down a bastard will be killed." Give him a pussy!”
As soon as these words were said, the people who supported Liu Zhenhan in Guanlou immediately fired like a rain of arrows.
Liang Yizhen was unprepared, and dozens of riders in the front were knocked down instantly.
Although he was attacked, Liang Yizhen did not retreat directly.
Because he found that some people in Guanlou did not obey Liu Zhenhan's instructions.
Guo Zhenyue most likely did not deceive his own side, but the enemy was divided during execution.
"Prince, what should we do?"
He quickly moved towards him with his shield from left and right.
Liang Yizhen pressed his hand: "Wait a moment."
"Bah! Hugo!"
Liu Zhenhan smiled ferociously and spit at Guan downstairs.
At this moment, a man hurriedly went upstairs: "General, Xiao E is here!"
"Xiao E?" Liu Zhenhan frowned.
"That's the barbarian next to Mr. Guo," the visitor said.
Hearing this, Liu Zhenhan's expression changed: "He must be here to help the wild dogs outside the pass!"
After a brief thought, he put on his saber and called dozens of close sergeants, saying to them: "Follow me down to see the barbarian. Something is wrong. Take him down immediately...or hack him to death!" "
"yes!"
As the group was walking downstairs, Xiao E's enthusiastic voice came from downstairs: "Is Brother Liu here?"
Liu Zhenhan leaned forward and said coldly: "Are you here to turn on the switch?"
Xiao E immediately shook his head: "No, the situation has changed, Duke Guo has defeated Zhou Jiao..."
After hearing the first half of the sentence, Liu Zhenhan relaxed and felt a little strange in his heart, when Xiao E suddenly raised his hand.
"not good!"
Years of military service made Liu Zhenhan alert. When he tried his best to dodge, he was still hit in the face by this arrow.
"Guo Gong has an order to quickly open Zhenbeiguan and welcome friendly troops to enter the pass."
"Liu Zhenhan disobeyed Duke Guo's order, the troops will kill him quickly!"
Xiao E scolded sternly.
There was an uproar in the Guanlou building, and it was immediately divided.
Liu Zhenhan has been working here for many years, and he has followers who follow him, some of whom draw swords in anger;
Those who had the intention to follow Guo Zhenyue, or simply be confused with the barbarians, and saw that Liu Zhenhan himself was hit by an arrow, boldly betrayed him;
What about the vast majority of people?
Neither of them dared to offend, and they just watched the show in the middle.
puff!
After a while, a human head was thrown off the building.
Liu Zhenhan still had arrows on his face, pointing the bloody knife horizontally at Xiao E below and shouting: "Go! Kill this wild dog and stop him from opening and closing the door!"
"Life is pretty tough!" Xiao E sneered.
He brought a small number of troops, only four teams of 200 people. He immediately divided into three teams to block the steps and prevent Liu Zhenhan's people from coming down; the remaining team opened the door to allow Liang Yizhen to enter the customs.
Up and down the steps, fighting broke out.
With a loud bang, the door was closed.
Liang Yizhen saw the situation and immediately rushed his troops in.
But Liu Zhenhan's people were still blocked on the steps!
"Damn it!"
Liu Zhenhan rushed to the halfway point, held the handrail of the steps with one hand, jumped over the wall, and fell into the enemy group alone.
Xiao E's men surrounded him, and their swords fell randomly.
Liu Zhenhan roared, swung his knife in the crowd, and killed several people in a row, leaving them covered in blood.
The man was leaning against the city wall, looking up, with blood flowing like a waterfall on his face, and his voice was like crying: "Brothers watching the show, even if you don't pity the dying Liu Zhenhan, you should also pity the family behind the pass!"
Upstairs, everyone who saw it was moved.
Keng! ! !
Xiao E heard the sound of drawing swords.
Immediately afterwards, figures one after another jumped off the city wall.
"Brothers, the survival of the ethnic group is at stake, how can we just sit back and watch!"
"Xiao E is a bad dog! Do you want to listen to a bad dog?"
"The one who controls Beiguan is a wild dog!"
Xiao E's expression changed drastically, and he immediately shouted: "Hurry! Don't delay!"
These words were urging Liang Yizhen to kill him.
And himself.
He clearly knew that the ethnic consciousness of the Han people had been awakened.
This is an extremely terrifying force with the ability to rapidly infect and spread.
Once all the nearby Han people reach a consensus, they are likely to put aside their original camp concepts, and they, as Xiyuan people, will definitely be torn into pieces!
"They are indeed fighting among themselves, and our people are here to help!"
Liang Yizhen had a smile on his face and shouted: "Speed up!"
"Faster!"
Xiao E sweated on his forehead anxiously, raised his saber, and stared at Guanxia.
Liu Zhenhan, covered with injuries, rushed to the door with a dozen people and tried to close it.
boom!
Success was imminent, and Liang Yizhen stepped in.
Liu Zhenhan never turned his head to the side, he just shouted: "Block him!"
"yes!"
——Puff!
After a hasty reply, hot blood was splashed on his face.
Liang Yizhen's bleeding blade swept straight towards Liu Zhenhan himself.
Liu Zhenhan covered his knife and barely blocked the blow.
"Some skills."
Liang Yizhen smiled contemptuously, already swung the head of the spear, and simply swung the tail of the spear and swiped it at Liu Zhenhan.
Liu Zhenhan heard a "thumping" sound. It should be that his sternum or ribs were broken.
Then the person flew up in the air and fell to the ground.
He struggled to open his eyes and saw a ferocious smiling face.
"Cut him." Liang Yizhen ordered casually.
"As you command!"
Xiao E replied respectfully, and then swung his sword.
boom!
His body suddenly slumped and he fell off the horse.
Behind him, an armored young man appeared: handsome, extremely young, hanging a gun and a pot, holding a magic bow in his flat hand.
"The archery skills are good, who is next?"
Liang Yizhen asked, but when the other party didn't reply, he pressed his hand and said, "Take it off!"
"yes!"
The cavalry spread out along both sides of his body, then cut through the crowd and pounced on the intruder.
The man sat upright on the horse, holding the bow in his left hand without moving, and taking the arrow in his right hand. When the arrow was stringed, the arrow tip turned slightly, and there was a sound of wind, and then one man fell off the horse.
In this way, nineteen arrows were fired in succession, and no one of the nineteen people fell off their horses. No one was spared. Everyone who saw it was horrified. Some stopped their horses in fear, some fell on their backs, or some trembled with their shields raised.
Liang Yi was really stunned.
