Qin Shuang is Xiongba's eldest disciple. His rebellion caused the Liang army to suffer great losses. As the master, Xiongba must bear some responsibility.
But after all, Xiongba has been based in the Liang Army for many years and has made great achievements. He even brought back new grains for the Liang Army. Therefore, although Qin Shuang's rebellion will cause him to be severely punished, he will not die immediately.
.
But if all three of Xiong Ba's disciples rebelled, then Xiong Ba's crime would be even more serious, and it was very likely that Dong Zhuo would be defeated and executed directly.
Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun had always dreamed of killing Xiong Ba, but now that a great opportunity was in front of them, they were surprisingly calm.
Seeing this, Qin Shuang couldn't help but have a flash of disappointment in his eyes. He knew that although these two junior brothers hated Xiong Ba deeply, they respected Dong Zhuo immensely. Hatred alone obviously could not make them betray their loyalty.
"Elder brother, you were the one who said at the beginning that although Dong Gong seemed to be acting violently, he was actually working for the benefit of the people and was one of the wise men who could be followed. But now you have taken the initiative to betray Dong Gong."
At this point, Bu Jingyun's eyes were full of struggle, and he asked in a deep voice: "Elder brother, is that really what you are saying? Or have you always been just lying to us?"
Qin Shuang couldn't help being silent for a while after hearing this, and then said in a deep voice: "Junior Brother Feng, Junior Brother Yun, even if we are each our own masters in the future, you will always be my good brothers, Qin Shuang."
After hearing this, Feng Yun looked at each other in tacit understanding, but they both saw sadness in each other's eyes, and then shouted: "Kill."
Fengyun rushed towards Qin Shuang together, but when Mo Ya and Bai Feng saw this, they immediately joined forces to stop Nie Feng, while Qin Shuang fought with Bu Jingyun with fists.
Although Bu Jingyun's level was higher than Qin Shuang's, Qin Shuang's Tianshuang Fist was unable to overcome the Paiyun Palm, so the two sides fought dozens of moves without making a single move.
Seeing this, Bu Jingyun showed no mercy. He mobilized all his inner strength to his right hand, then slammed out a palm and shouted: "Pailing Cloud Palm, the clouds are gloomy."
Seeing Bu Jingyun use the last move of Paiyun Palm, Qin Shuang's eyes flashed with solemnity. He immediately crossed his hands into fists and danced across the sky, shouting: "Tian Shuang Fist, Aoxue Ling Shuang."
The fists and palms collided, causing a wave of air to rise immediately. The chests of both of them could not help but roll, and then they were knocked back by the huge recoil force at the same time.
Bu Jingyun took five steps back before releasing all his strength. He looked at Qin Shuang in disbelief and said in shock: "Ancestral Dragon Jue? Are you from the Qin family?"
As one of the leaders of the Liang Guard, Bu Jingyun had naturally fought against members of the Jinyi Guard, and among them were many young disciples of the Qin family, so of course he recognized the Qin family's signature technique, Zulong Jue.
It's just that the people Bu Jingyun met before were not of high level, and the Ancestral Dragon Art he practiced was obviously incomplete, far from as powerful as what Qin Shuang used, so Bu Jingyun guessed Qin Shuang's origin.
Qin Shuang took six steps back and then said in a deep voice: "Junior Brother Yun, your guess is correct."
After hearing Qin Shuang's affirmative answer, Bu Jingyun finally understood why his senior brother rebelled. He was a spy sent by the Qin family to infiltrate the Liang army.
Bu Jingyun's eyes were full of anger after being deceived, and he said bitterly: "You have been lying to us from the beginning, telling us what conspiracy you have."
"Junior Brother Yun, I have my own reasons, but I am sincere to you and Junior Brother Feng!"
But Bu Jingyun couldn't listen at all and said angrily: "If you don't tell me, I'll beat you until you tell me."
After saying that, Bu Jingyun pushed his palm towards Qin Shuang again, but Qin Shuang also clenched his fist and fought without fear.
Although Qin Shuang's cultivation level is not as good as Bu Jingyun's, the Ancestral Dragon Art is the most top-notch technique in the world, and its level is still higher than Xiongba's three-point returning vitality. And relying on the Ancestral Dragon Art and Tianshuang's ability to restrain the Cloud Dispelling Palm
Qin Shuang actually fought to a draw with Bu Jingyun, who had reached the half-step master level.
Outside the north gate, Yuan Shu sent Lian Po and additional troops to continue the fierce attack after Zhao Kuangyin entered the city.
To say who among the princes is most eager for credit, it is not Yuan Shao or Qin Hao, but Yuan Shu who has been making fools of himself since he only joined the coalition.
Since joining the alliance, Yuan Shu has suffered heavy casualties, but not only has he not reaped any benefits, but his reputation has been damaged.
If he didn't make contributions to make up for this, then his trip to the alliance would really be in vain, so Yuan Shu was eager to make contributions.
When he learned that Zhao Kuangyin had invaded the city, Yuan Shu immediately danced with excitement. In his opinion, his brother-in-law's contribution was his own.
Taking the first step in conquering Luoyang would not only make up for his previous debt, but also enhance his reputation, so Yuan Shu naturally worked harder.
Seeing that although soldiers and horses continued to pour into the city, they still failed to completely capture the north gate, Yuan Shu knew that there must be a stalemate in the city. After all, the Liang army had a lot of troops at the north gate.
If the fight continued like this, it would become a war of attrition. Yuan Shu controlled most of Yuzhou. Although he was rich and powerful, he was not stupid and generous, so he immediately sent someone to ask Qin Hao for reinforcements.
"Report, Runan Governor Zhao Kuangyin has invaded the north gate of Luoyang and is currently fighting with the Liang army in the city. Yuzhou Mu requested the leader of the alliance to send Yuan Junbo to support."
This news exploded like statistical thunder among the princes. No one expected that Yuan Shu could attack Luoyang alone and even opened the gate of the North City.
Seeing Yuan Shu's shameless attack on the entire army without any mention of Qin Shuang's contribution, although Qin Hao knew the reason, he did not directly point it out in public. After all, he still expected Yuan Shu to continue to contribute.
"Li Cunxiao, you lead 10,000 Jingzhou troops, 10,000 Yanzhou troops, and 10,000 Yangzhou troops, a total of 30,000 troops to support the North Gate."
As soon as Qin Hao finished speaking, Li Cunxiao stood up excitedly, cupped his fists and said, "No."
Yuan Shu already had an army of 40,000, but now Qin Hao has added 30,000 to him, for a total of 70,000. There is also Li Cunxiao, a peerless general. Even a war of attrition is enough to bring down the Liang army.
Liu Xiu stood up at this moment and said: "Leader, since the north gate has been breached, can we withdraw the troops from the other three gates so that we can concentrate our efforts on attacking the north gate?"
Qin Hao glanced at him and said with a faint smile: "Although the North Gate has been breached, it has not been completely occupied, and the Liang Army still has sufficient strength. They will definitely take back the North Gate at all costs, and the next step is the real battle.
fighting.
Therefore, not only can the remaining three gates not be withdrawn, but they must increase their troops, so as to contain the coalition defenders at the three gates, so that the Liang army cannot allocate more troops to support the north gate, and Luoyang will be defeated sooner or later."
Liu Xiu thought about it for a moment and found that there were no loopholes. He could only say, "The alliance leader is wise." However, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Qin Hao's consideration of the problem was really flawless.
