On July 18, the first year of Taiping, the third day after Ningcheng City was destroyed.

Due to the lag in message transmission, from this day on Changshe began to receive one bad news after another.

First, Ningcheng City was broken, Lu Junyi died in a very sad battle, Lu Zhishen and other Liangshan generals rebelled against the enemy, and more than 100,000 Song troops were destroyed.

Zhao Kuangyin had not yet reacted to this bad news. Immediately afterwards, news came from the Great Sui, Great Chu and Ming dynasties.

The three parties encountered an accident almost at the same time. The troops sent by the Sui and Da Chu to assist were better, but they were unable to arrive in Yuzhou in time because they encountered some troubles. According to the time they estimated, based on the current situation, it would take at least half a month for them to enter Yuzhou.

And the Ming Dynasty was even worse. After leaving Xuzhou, the Ming army was ambushed immediately.

After an ambush, the 200,000 Ming army lost nearly half of the food and supplies and was completely burned during the battle. They had no choice but to return. It is hard to say when they can provide assistance.

In other words, within half a month, the Song Dynasty will not be able to find any assistance.

These two news alone have been a considerable blow to the Song Dynasty today.

What Zhao Kuangyin didn't expect was that soon, news came from Huang Chao that he wanted to kill that bastard with his own hands.

After taking down Ningcheng, Huang Chao immediately began to massacre inhumanely.

After taking down Ningcheng, Huang Chao really let his troops let go of his hands to kill him. In the past three days, the area of ​​Ningcheng was really blood flowing into a river, turning into a purgatory on earth.

In just three days, the entire Ningcheng, including a radius of hundreds of miles outside Ningcheng, was affected, and their massacre was constantly spreading towards Changshe.

Conservatively estimated that during these three days, at least millions of people were killed, millions of people were displaced, and hundreds of thousands of people joined Huang Chao's riot army, greatly strengthening the power of Huang Chao's army.

All Huang Chao killed was his Zhao Kuangyin's people. You said, after hearing such news, how could Zhao Kuangyin not be angry, let alone the Huang Chao's riot army obviously improved its strength in the killing, becoming more dangerous and terrifying. If they continue like this, waiting for a legion to reach Changshe, their army would probably be able to reach two million or even more!

Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin asked Di Qing's army to stop on the spot and gave Di Qing an order, no matter whether there were reinforcements or not, no matter what, the chaos army must be suppressed, and this tragedy must not be allowed to happen again.

...

Sili, Luoyang!

While the Song Dynasty was full of bad news and Zhao Kuangyin went wild, Cao An was not having a good time at this time.

People who have seen Cao An will have a deep impression of him. Although his figure is a little short and his facial features are also a bit sarcastic. This makes people subconsciously target him with a ruthless label when they see this at first sight.

However, few people know that Cao An’s heart is not cruel, even soft, so soft that he burst into tears when he heard the news of Huang Chao’s massacre in Yuzhou.

The reason why he cried was because all of this was planned by him.

It was he who used Huang Chao to attract the villain forces in the White Lotus Chamber of Commerce to appear, and it was him who used Huang Chao and others to drag down the elites of the Song Dynasty.

Everything was basically done according to his plan. The villain of the White Lotus Chamber of Commerce appeared, and the elite of the Song Dynasty were indeed pulled over.

Ningcheng Sect was destroyed and Lu Junyi died. Even Di Qing, who was about to arrive at Changshe, had to go back to resist Huang Chao's army.

However, Cao An missed a little. He overestimated his control over the White Lotus Chamber of Commerce and did not see clearly Huang Chao's cruelty. He had no idea that Huang Chao would launch a massacre after taking Ningcheng.

So when the news came, he would lock himself in the study and cry loudly.

What Cao An didn't know was that when he locked himself in the study and cried loudly, there were two people standing outside his study.

One of these two people is Cao An's right-hand man Xun Yu, and the other is a pale young scholar with a hint of frivolity on his body.

"I never understood before that he was just an ordinary person. His wisdom, experience and even his ideals were borrowed, and they were all incomplete. Why did you choose to assist him?" The young young man sighed and turned his head to look at Xun Yu's face.

"Now I understand that I have inherited those experiences and ideals that are incomplete and have no excessive ambitions, but he is still kind and soft, perfectly conforms to the image in your heart."

"But what I want to say is that you may have forgotten one thing: he is fake, everything he has is fake, everything he has borrowed, no matter what, fake is fake, it cannot be real, sooner or later, he will disappear one day, what you are doing now is holding a fake doll and having the most false and crazy dream.

One day he will disappear, and your dreams and he will be broken, and then you will be crushed to pieces!"

After the young man finished speaking, he looked at Xun Yu who still had no intention of responding to his own intention, shook his head, covered his mouth that could not help but cough, and left directly.

On Xun Yu's side, Xun Yu had never looked at the young man from beginning to end. His eyes were in the study room from beginning to end, and he was waiting for the person in the study room to come out.

Cao An did not let him wait for a long time. Ten minutes later, the crying sounds in the study room were heard. Twenty minutes later, the door of the study room was opened and Cao An walked out of the study room.

At this time, Cao An had already cleaned up his emotions. At least on his body, there was no trace of his crying after releasing animals.

Cao An saw Xun Yu who was waiting for him outside the study without any embarrassment on his face, and even showed a bright smile: "Let's go and deal with what we should deal with."

As he said that, Cao An strode out of the study, and Xun Yu automatically followed Cao An's back at the moment Cao An walked out.

Compared to Cao An, Xun Yu is much taller and looks much more handsome. However, when these two people walk together, they always give people a feeling of extreme harmony, as if this person should be together.

"By the way, after our plan is over, let's add another plan to get rid of Huang Chao. Sure enough, even to revive the Great Zhou, I still can't stand being with such people."
