Chapter 743: The 100,000 army came out in full force
Yan Liang could feel that Lu Lingqi's fierce murderous aura and vengeful rage had been building up in her heart for too long.
Yan Liang liked her temperament.
In life, if you don't take revenge, if you don't live happily, you might as well die.
"Brother, I promise you that the entire Cao family will be handed over to you, and you can do with it whatever you want." Yan Liang happily agreed to Lu Lingqi's request.
"Really?" Lu Lingqi was overjoyed and subconsciously grabbed Yan Liang's arm with both hands.
Yan Liang smiled boldly: "I am the king of a country, so I naturally stick to my word. Since I promised you, brother, of course it is true."
"Brother Wang's great kindness, Lingqi will definitely remember it in her heart." Lu Lingqi was so grateful that she bowed to the ground.
Yan Liang quickly helped her up, smiled and comforted her.
Feeling Yan Liang's kindness, Lu Lingqi was so excited that she suddenly brought her red lips close to his face and kissed him gently.
This sudden kiss made Yan Liang startled and he couldn't help but look at Lu Lingqi.
At this time, Lu Lingqi's face, which had just recovered to be fair, suddenly became a little flushed, but she turned her face to the side, not daring to look into Yan Liang's eyes.
With her lowered eyebrows and smile, she looked like a little girl who was just starting to fall in love. There was a bit of embarrassment in her innocence.
Yan Liang could vaguely feel that Lu Lingqi's kiss was not just a moment of happiness for his sister, but also a hint of affection for him.
If it had been another woman, Yan Liang would have embraced her into his arms without hesitation at this moment. She was enjoying herself.
However, the woman in front of him was his adopted sister. A strange woman with a simple mind who only wanted revenge.
The time is not yet ripe.
Yan Liang laughed and shouted: "Come here, bring some more wine. I will have a few drinks with my adopted sister."
The soldiers outside the tent immediately brought some jars of good wine, and Yan Liang started drinking heavily.
Lu Lingqi's embarrassment quietly dissipated along with Yan Liang's arrogance, and the pride in her heart also emerged spontaneously, so she became very interested. She drank good wine with Yan Liang, her sworn brother.
In the big tent, there is great pride and joy.
A few miles away, Luokou City was lifeless. It was like an icy hell.
Cao Cao was wrapped in a robe and walked heavily on the streets of Luokou.
The ground beneath our feet has long been covered with ice, and the roofs of the houses on the left and right are also covered with a thick layer of solid ice. Countless ice edges hang down from the eaves, and some even cover the doors and windows of the houses.
Not a single soldier was seen on the street, and everyone hid in their houses, fearing that the Chu army's water dragon would fall from the sky and freeze them into ice sculptures.
Inside the house, there was a faint flickering light of fire. It flickered on and off like a will-o'-the-wisp.
As Cao Cao was walking, he suddenly tripped and almost fell to the ground. Xu Chu stepped forward and held him up.
Looking down, Cao Cao realized that what had tripped him was actually the corpse of a soldier.
The corpse was half sunk in the ice, its body was tightly bound, its eyes were still wide open, and it was staring straight at Cao Cao, his eyes frozen in a moment of extreme fear.
This was not the first corpse that Cao Cao saw. Along the way, he had encountered almost seven or eight such corpses, just freezing to death on the streets.
Since Yan Liang's water dragon cannons attacked the city, nearly ten thousand people have frozen to death, and the entire Luokou City has turned into an ice cemetery.
"Alas." Cao Cao sighed, waved his hand and said, "dig him out and bury him."
After that, Cao Cao turned around and left.
Not long after, Cao Cao arrived at the Temporary Overlord's Mansion in the center of Luokou. Since this area was far away from the city wall, it was fortunate that it was not bombarded by the Chu army's water dragon cannons, and there was still a piece of unfrozen land.
Cao Cao walked into Ba Mansion and went straight to the back hall and wing room.
Walking into the room with a roaring fire, he saw Guo Jia lying on the couch, coughing non-stop.
Cao Cao became nervous and quickly stepped forward to caress Guo Jia's back and asked with concern: "Fengxiao, how is your health?"
Guo Jia coughed for a long time, then finally took a breath, and forced a smile out of the corner of his pale mouth.
"Can Jia still hold on? Prime Minister, what are the recent movements of the Chu army?" Guo Jia asked weakly.
"The bandits have stopped attacking the city with water cannons recently. The thieves thought they were determined to defend themselves, so they gave up this strategy." Cao Cao's face showed a bit of arrogance.
Hearing this, a look of worry appeared on Guo Jia's pale face.
"That Yan thief has many tricks. Now that he has stopped the flood attack on the city for no reason, Jia is only worried that he is up to something else. The Prime Minister must be on guard."
Cao Cao looked shocked and said hurriedly: "In view of Feng Xiao, what other tricks can Thief Yan possibly pull?"
"This..." Guo Jia pondered for a moment and said, "Jia is worried that those people with evil intentions in Chang'an City may take the opportunity to cause trouble and respond to Yan Thief."
Chang'an City?
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, but he smiled disdainfully: "Fengxiao, you are worrying too much. There are indeed many people who oppose the truth in Chang'an City, but with Wen Ruo in charge, those people will not be able to stir up any trouble."
"It was precisely because Xun Wenruo was in charge that Jia felt something was wrong." Guo Jia coughed dryly.
Cao Cao looked suspicious and could not understand the meaning of Guo Jia's words from time to time.
At this moment, Liu Ye hurried out, with a look of horror on his face, and said in shock: "I'm telling you, Prime Minister, something bad is going on. There is trouble in Chang'an City!"
Cao Cao was shocked and immediately asked what the trouble was.
"At nightfall yesterday, Fu Wan gathered all the officials and suddenly launched a mutiny. The Chang'an army was leaderless. They were killed by the rebels by surprise and were forced out of the city. Chang'an City has been occupied by the rebels!"
Liu Ye told this shocking bad news with a heavy tone.
"What!" Cao Cao felt a thunderbolt falling from the blue, making him dizzy and spinning, and he almost didn't even mention it.
"Prime Minister!" Xu Chu screamed and quickly supported Cao Cao.
Guo Jia, who was on the hospital bed, was also gasping for breath in shock.
Cao Cao took a few breaths before regaining his composure, and asked in horror: "Where is Xun Wenruo? Didn't I order Xun Wenruo to be in charge of Chang'an? Why didn't he preside over the counter-rebellion and instead left the army leaderless?"
"According to those who escaped, Xun Wenruo was hijacked by Fu Wan and was threatened by him. He was unable to take charge of the overall situation. This is why the troops lost their command and were defeated by the rebels one by one."
Cao Cao was hit hard in the heart again, and he turned around to look at Guo Jia, with a horrified expression, as if he couldn't believe that Guo Jia was actually telling the truth about Chang'an's rebellion.
"Fengxiao, now...what should we do now?" Cao Cao lost his sense of control and asked Guo Jia for help in panic.
Guo Jia endured the pain and coughed and said: "Prime Minister, don't be anxious. Although the rebels have occupied Chang'an City, they are not many in number. Jia thought that the Prime Minister should immediately mobilize some troops and return to Chang'an to take advantage of the fact that the rebels have not yet stabilized their foothold."
At that time, we quickly recaptured the city of Chang'an and wiped out the rebels."
Cao Cao nodded repeatedly, but then said: "If I lead my army back to Chang'an, what will happen to Luokou if the Yan thieves take the opportunity to attack?"
"I'm afraid it will take some time for Thief Yan to receive the news of the Chang'an rebellion. I don't think he will attack the city in a short time. The prime minister only needs to put down the rebellion as soon as possible. Before Yan Thief notices it, he can quickly return to Luokou. I think he can still control it.
Live the situation."
Guo Jia's words were indeed Cao Cao's only choice at the moment. Cao Cao pondered for a long time and had no choice but to follow Guo Jia's plan.
At that moment, Cao Cao left Cao Zhen to take charge of Luokou's military affairs. He led 20,000 troops and horses, leaving Luokou City at starry night, and rushed towards Chang'an along Weikou.
…
The sky was dawning, and the sun shone into the tent through the cracks in the curtains, shining right on Yan Liang's face.
The dazzling feeling gradually woke Yan Liang up.
He yawned and opened his eyes. He subconsciously thought of sitting up, but he felt that his arm was pressed by something and he couldn't get up for a while.
Yan Liang glanced sideways and found that Lu Lingqi was pillowing his arm and clinging tightly to his side, sleeping soundly.
Yan Liang was in a daze for a moment, and then he remembered. It turned out that his brother and sister had a lot of fun last night, and at some point they were on the same couch, undressed and fell asleep together.
Yan Liang looked at Lu Lingqi's pretty face, which was calm and peaceful. No one could have imagined that such a stunning face could belong to a female general who had killed countless people.
As he watched, a strange feeling suddenly surged in Yan Liang's heart, and he stretched out his hand to gently touch that pretty face.
At this moment, Zhoucang suddenly heard shouting from outside the tent: "Your Majesty, good news has come from Chang'an City."
This cry of joy immediately woke Lu Lingqi from her sleep. When she opened her eyes, she saw Yan Liang's eyes, looking at her.
Then, she discovered that she was lying in Yan Liang's arms.
Feeling embarrassed, Lu Lingqi sat up and hurriedly arranged her clothes, looking panicked.
At this time, Zhou Cang walked into the tent excitedly and was startled when he saw that Lu Lingqi was also there.
Lu Lingqi coughed a few times, pretending to be calm and said: "General Zhou, if you have any good news, I just want to hear it."
At this time, Yan Liang also got off the bed, and his expression was much more natural than Lu Lingqi's.
Zhou Cang came to his senses and said with a smile: "That's it. Fu Wan has sent a secret report overnight, saying that their mutiny was successful and they have successfully taken control of Chang'an City."
Yan Liang's expression perked up, he pushed the information in Zhou Cang's hand over, looked at it carefully for a moment, and couldn't help laughing loudly.
"It's really good news. After hiding the old and young of the Han Dynasty, we didn't expect that a big thing was accomplished. Send an order and quickly summon the generals to discuss the matter."
Not long after, all the civil and military personnel gathered in the king's tent, and Yan Liang informed everyone about the success of the ambush and the mutiny.
This important news naturally excited all the ministers present.
Fa Zheng came out of the queue excitedly and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, Chang'an has been lost. Cao Cao's thieves heard about it and will lead their troops overnight to quell the rebellion. I believe that Luokou City must be empty now. I ask your Majesty to order immediately. We will have one hundred thousand troops.
He came out and took advantage of the situation and razed Luokou City to the ground in one fell swoop." (To be continued...)
