The wind and thunder suddenly stopped, the killing sound solidified, and everything seemed to be still in the bright golden light. When the dazzling golden light dissipated, the figures of Qin Yang and Guo Jia had long disappeared into the wind and sand. On the ground with crisscrossed ravines, nearly
Tens of thousands of broken corpses still stood there, maintaining various attack movements, which looked shocking.
On the road leading to Ruyin City, more than a dozen war horses were galloping against the wind and sand. Being carried by a knight on the horse, it took Guo Jia a long time to make his face no longer look so pale.
"Your Highness, you are not..."
"Well, I have repelled the enemy troops that sneaked into Ruyin. I don't trust you, so I came to take a look." Qin Yang galloped his horse and said calmly.
This simple sentence made Guo Jia's heart warm. This time he went to battle, and there were not many Yellow Turban troops left to garrison in Ruyin City. However, Qin Yang personally led the troops immediately after repelling the coalition's sneak attack.
More than a dozen people went to the front line to look for him. This friendship went far beyond the feelings of a master towards his ministers. It was obvious that Qin Yang had regarded Guo Jia as his friend.
"If you want to be moved, it's best not to disgust me in front of me when I'm not around." Qin Yang seemed to feel something, and turned to Guo Jia with a teasing smile.
"Your Highness, you are taking too many risks..."
"Haha? You're so cheap, so good, aren't you? I know that your Guo Banxian's skill at pretending to be dead is top-notch, but what if they buried you out of kindness, or some pervert wants to whip you to death? I'm afraid you're here
You can't even cry when you're in suspended animation, right? Besides, I have a kingly aura about me. Who can keep me?"
Guo Jia forced a smile and said nothing. As Qin Yang said, if that happens, his incredible "pretending to be dead" skill may directly turn into a real suicide. But even if Qin Yang has
Wang Qi, if once he is surrounded by a large enemy army, he may not be able to escape...
"Three years after the founding of the Han Empire, the demonic chaos first subsided, but then the world was in turmoil again. The three major princes of the Han Empire, Cao Cao, the imperial uncle Liu Bei, and the Marquis of Wu in Jiangdong, Sun Quan, quickly formed an alliance to attack the Yellow Turban King Ming, who showed his demonic body. The Yellow Turban Army was in great disarray.
Under this situation, King Qin Yang of the Ming Dynasty had to lead more than 100,000 remaining soldiers to retreat to the small city of Ruyin. Soon after, the three major princes personally led a coalition of 750,000 troops, claiming that a million-strong army surrounded Ruyin to eliminate demons and defend the way." - "Three Kingdoms"
"Biography of Qizhi"
In the north of Yingshang Plain, there is Ruyin City.
Although not long ago, the Yellow Turban Army faced off against the "Devil-Slaying Alliance Army". But after all, the numerical comparison was far different. In desperation, Qin Yang had no choice but to order to stick to Ruyin to wait for the change. Fortunately, with Guo Jia's help,
At this time, there are still more than ten days of food and grass in Ruyin City. And the more than 700,000 allied troops are only besieging but not attacking. Therefore, one of the two sides is inside the city, and the other is outside the city. Except for the occasional encounter between the scouts of both sides, they have been outside the city for several days.
Apart from several confrontations, there was no major battle, but it was quite peaceful.
In Ruyin City, there is a large golden-domed tent. The Yellow Turban Army has been trapped here for seven days. Faced with the strategy of Zhuge Liang and others to surround them with an army several times larger than theirs, Qin Yang and others were helpless.
"These bastards are really hateful! His Highness relied on them so much back then that he even granted them the title of vassal. Unexpectedly, now that my Yellow Turban Army is in trouble, they will not only refuse to save them, but also lead their troops to leave! If I get the chance, I will definitely kill them.
Stop these ungrateful people!"
"Okay, General, what's the point of talking about this? Now everyone in the world thinks His Highness is another demon lord, how dare they openly make enemies of the world..." Guo Jia sighed and persuaded.
The Guan Hai language refers to, of course, Gongsun Zan of Yuzhou, Zhang Xiu of Wancheng, Li Jue of Chang'an, Guo Si, and Ma Teng of Xiliang who quietly led troops away from the Yellow Turban Army camp after the Battle of Yingshang. The armies of these people
Although not as capable as Qin Yang's Yellow Turban Army Headquarters, they are still powerful in battle. However, Qin Yang's Yellow Turban Army Headquarters suffered heavy losses in the battle of Lujiang City, and their departure was like draining fuel from the bottom of the cauldron.
"Your Highness, please allow the general to break out of the siege and rush to Xiliang! Even if the general is willing to die, he must let my father lead the Xiliang army back to your command!" Ma Chao finally couldn't sit still. Ma Teng is his.
Father, at this moment, Guan Hai mentioned this matter again, which undoubtedly made Ma Chao feel uncomfortable.
"General Ma, don't think too much, Guan Hai is just talking openly..." Qin Yang, who was sitting in the chair, smiled at Ma Chao, glared at Guan Hai, and said lightly: "Actually, General Ma Teng is not to blame for this matter.
, if it were me, I would have led the troops away at that time... But the Xiliang army did not fight back, which is already a sign of nostalgia for me, Qin Yang. After all, the demon lord's killing power has already caused the world to
Gods and men are outraged..."
"But Your Highness..." Ma Chao felt bitter in his heart and wanted to speak.
"Stop talking about it... This matter started because of me, so naturally I have to step in to solve it. Now that the three princes have millions of troops, even if the Xiliang army arrives at this time, what's the use?" Qin Yang smiled lightly,
But he couldn't hide the dejection on his face.
"Military advisor, is there any news from Hanzhong recently?" Qin Yang spoke again after a moment and looked at Guo Jia.
In a frontal battle, the Yellow Turban Army has absolutely no chance of winning. The three major princes' coalition forces are full of talents, far from the Imperial Guards commanded by He Jin in the past. And there is absolutely no chance that Ruyin City here will become the second Xiangcheng. Qin
The only hope in Yang's heart at this time was news from Hanzhong.
Hanzhong is the foundation of the Yellow Turban Army. After Qin Yang's painstaking management and cultivation over the past few years, Hanzhong has become extremely rich. The military service of the Yellow Turban Army is not very heavy, and all the prisoners taken from several campaigns are all
Arrangements were made for farming in Hanzhong. If Hanzhong really issued a conscription order at this time, it would surely be possible to recruit dozens or even hundreds of thousands of troops in a few days.
In the general trend of the world, only the strong will have the right to speak, and only when the momentum of the Yellow Turban Army surges again, will the princes of the world support Qin Yang again. Only then can Qin Yang have the possibility of turning defeat into victory.
"Reporting to Your Highness, there has been no movement in Hanzhong so far. I'm afraid..." At this point, Guo Jia seemed to be hesitant.
"You mean there has been a change in Hanzhong?" Qin Yang's heart moved. In fact, he had an ominous premonition a few days ago. After all, if Hanzhong was preparing to send troops, the messenger who came to convey the message should have arrived at you by now.
It's cloudy.
"This is just my guess. Hanzhong General Zhang Baiqi and Military Advisor Ma Yuanyi are loyal to His Highness, and there is no reason why they will not fail to send troops to rescue. It's just..."
"Pang Tong!" Qin Yang said the answer for Guo Jia. Even he himself felt a little uneasy in the past few days. However, he has never been able to find out the reason why he was like this. Now Guo Jia's words just reminded him.
Immediately, a sharp flash flashed through Qin Yang's mind. Thinking of the important responsibility he had entrusted to Pang Tong, cold sweat instantly soaked his vest.
"Your Highness Ming Jian... Mr. Feng Chu is a famous person in the world, and he must always keep his word. But... Your Highness, apart from Zhuge Liang, who in the world today can prove that that person is Pang Tong?" Guo Jia hesitated and finally said.
to relieve the worries in my heart.
All this time, Qin Yang has never made any mistakes in employing people. This is simply an unimaginable miracle, whether it is the heroes of the world today or the first emperors in history, they can employ people so accurately.
, almost never happened. And only Qin Yang himself knows that this is entirely due to his own shrewdness and his understanding of this period of history.
However, this kind of smooth sailing has caused Qin Yang's mentality to change unconsciously. From self-confidence to arrogance, this is definitely a change that can make people irreversible! The way of heaven is impermanent, who can guarantee that he will never be the same?
Made a mistake? Small mistakes can be made up for, but if a mistake is made at a critical moment, the result will be fatal...
In a daze, Qin Yang seemed to see Zhuge Liang and "Pang Tong" sitting opposite each other in a secret room. Facing "Pang Tong"'s concern about Qin Yang, Zhuge Liang had a sneer on his lips: "Don't make mistakes.
, does not mean that he will not make mistakes. If he has not made mistakes in the past, it does not mean that he will not make mistakes in the future. No one is a sage, the key is to see when he made the mistake. What we have to do is to let Qin Yang
A fatal mistake was made at the worst time!..."
Cold sweat flowed down his forehead. But Qin Yang seemed unaware. He murmured: "Impossible, if he is not Pang Tong, who would he be? If he is not Pang Tong, how can the great array of heaven and earth be able to operate?
!”
Guo Jia sighed softly and said in a low voice: "The fact that the Great Formation of Heaven and Earth can operate can only mean that the holder of the divine scroll, that is, the real Mr. Fengchu is also in the army. But whether it is this Mr. Pang Tong, then
At once……"
"However, when Pang Tong came to our army's Anfengjin camp, I did feel the unique aura of the Heavenly Book and Divine Scroll..." Qin Yang's mind was racing, trying desperately to find a reason for himself.
Guo Jiadao: "If Zhuge Liang is really calculating and can make the real Mr. Fengchu join the Tiandi ** formation. If he wants two Pang Tong to arrive in front of our military camp at the same time, it will not be difficult...could it be?
Has His Highness forgotten the scene when Jiangdong Governor Zhou Yu asked Mr. Feng Chu to demonstrate the power of the divine scroll in the camp?"
On that day, Zhou Yu wanted to see "Pang Tong"'s power of the Heavenly Book and Divine Scroll in the golden dome tent. But "Pang Tong" ignored it and diverted everyone's attention elsewhere. While blocking the demon army in the Huaihe River
When advancing, there was no one around Pang Tong. To be precise, everyone present at that time has now turned into a pile of bones.
Although everything that happened seemed to prove that Mr. Feng Chu who came to the army was "Pang Tong", if we think about it carefully, none of it is enough to prove that "Pang Tong" is Pang Tong! Among them, the most powerful one
The only evidence is Zhuge Liang, who has now become an enemy!
"Your Highness, these are just my speculations... After all, the situation is still unclear. I hope Your Highness will not be impatient..." Seeing that Qin Yang seemed to be distracted, Guo Jia couldn't help but offer words of comfort.
In fact, not to mention Qin Yang, even Guo Jia had no doubts when Pang Tong arrived at the beginning. It was not until Qin Yang was fighting against the demon lord that Pang Tong suddenly shot away the boulder that hit Zhuge Liang that he felt something in his heart.
There was a trace of doubt. You know, after Qin Yang absorbed the power of the five volumes of heavenly books for the second time, even Guo Jia himself did not have the power to fly away boulders with one hand, but Pang Tong, who also absorbed the power, did it.
!
However, the suspicion at that moment was just fleeting. Guo Jia, who suddenly encountered various changes, did not think about it further. Until recently, there was no news from Hanzhong, which made Guo Jia think about it.
Questioning Pang Tong’s identity.
"Send a carrier pigeon to send a message to Hanzhong. Regardless of whether he is really Pang Tong or not, all military power in Hanzhong will be handed over to General Zhang Baiqi!" Qin Yang suddenly raised his head. He had woken up from the initial panic and quickly made a decision.
Decide.
After hearing Qin Yang's order, Guo Jia did not move. He just smiled bitterly and said, "Have you forgotten, Your Highness? Since the allied forces of the princes besieged Ruyin, the west side of Ruyin City has been covered with clouds, thunder and lightning, and the sky has been extremely violent.
Abnormal. In this state, the carrier pigeon will definitely lose its way. The chance of successfully reaching Hanzhong is absolutely slim. This must be Zhuge Liang's method to cut off our connection with Hanzhong..."
"Zhuge Liang...it's Zhuge Liang again!" Qin Yang finally couldn't help but exploded! The army was surrounded, he was accused by thousands of people in the world, and there was no news from Hanzhong! All this was Zhuge Liang's plan! He has always claimed to understand the Three Kingdoms
Qin Yang, who was every hero and every general in the era, finally met the most powerful opponent he had ever seen in his life! In front of Zhuge Liang, whether it was strategies, military use, or even taking advantage of the hearts of the world, Qin Yang felt everything
Extremely powerless. Could it be that this is the legendary Zhuge Liang who is so wise that he is almost a demon?!
"Your Highness, what happened?" All the Yellow Turban generals in the camp looked at Qin Yang who was furious. In their impression, Qin Yang, who had always been calm and composed, had never had such a violent reaction.
No matter when he was besieged in Xiangcheng or during the war in Hanzhong, King Huangjin Ming was always so calm.
However, how could they know what a huge responsibility Qin Yang had entrusted to Pang Tong at this time! In order to be absolutely foolproof, Qin Yang had no one else in the Yellow Turban Army except Guo Jia when it came to subduing "Pang Tong" and entrusting him with important tasks.
Even his close confidants Guan Hai and Zhao Yun didn't know. Now, Qin Yang is even more miserable.
"Your Highness, isn't it Pang Tong? If you rebel, just rebel! When our Hanzhong reinforcements arrive, I, Guan Hai, will be the first to chop that guy down so that His Highness can vent his anger!" Guan Hai said loudly.
"Yes, Your Highness, it's just Pang Tong. Please take care of yourself, Your Highness..." The generals all echoed and expressed consolation, and some even geared up and cursed "Pang Tong" for his disloyalty.
"Shut up! I'm just unhappy today..." Qin Yang ignored the generals' consolation, barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and said lightly. At this moment, he was not in the mood to explain the ins and outs of the matter to everyone, of course it was more important.
The reason is that he does not want to disrupt the already unstable military morale due to this matter.
Guo Jia pondered for a moment, then hesitantly came to Qin Yang and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, at this point, we can only prepare for the worst. If we use...",
"You mean..." Qin Yang's eyes lit up after hearing Guo Jia's words, but then he hesitated: "I'm afraid now is not the time, after all, they don't have the strength to subvert..."
Guo Jia sighed: "But now that we are approaching the city and surrounded by enemies, we no longer have any trump cards..."
Qin Yang pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head again and said: "Let me think about it again. I will be here today. Everyone should disperse. Go back and strengthen defenses and strictly guard the city. Guo Jia, you can go down too. I
There is a lot of chaos now... Pass on the order, no one is allowed to enter the Golden Dome Tent without my order!"
"Bang!" After Guo Jia and all the generals had retreated, Qin Yang raised his hand fiercely and smashed the table in front of him into pieces with one punch. As the anger in his heart continued to rise, he even wanted to throw everything in front of him.
Everything you see is destroyed!
Ten years of hard work are now about to be wasted. It has always been him, the Yellow Turban Ming King, who has always been invincible, and he has always used counter-insurgency calculations to plot against his enemies. At this moment, he did not expect that he would stumble in what he is best at. Moreover,
This somersault will probably make you never get up!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!..." The roar continued from the golden-domed tent, and even the people guarding in front of the tent were silent. Even standing outside the tent, they could feel the huge sound coming from the tent.
The awe-inspiring murderous aura and deep anger came from the tent. If Qin Yang had not always enforced orders and prohibitions, they would have already sounded the alarm and rushed into the tent to protect King Ming.
"Damn Zhuge Liang! Do you think I don't have the power to kill you?!" After venting his anger, Qin Yang stood among the broken wood, his eyes were red, his teeth were clenched, and he held the hand on his wrist tightly with one hand.
The simple bracelet seemed like he was going to crush it with all his strength.
"No..." A cry of surprise suddenly came from the tent door.
"Bastard! Those who broke into the military tent without permission..." Qin Yang turned around angrily. He wanted to see who dared to disobey his military orders and enter the golden-domed tent without permission.
However, Qin Yang's voice stopped abruptly when he saw the beautiful figure at the tent door, "Ning'er, why..."
The only one who dared to enter the Golden Summit tent at this time was Zhang Ning. When Zhang Ning saw Qin Yang's sudden murderous intention, she already knew what Qin Yang wanted to do.
Looking at the mess on the ground, Zhang Ning sighed softly and walked slowly to Qin Yang: "Do you really want to become like Master? Even if you really kill that Zhuge Liang, how can you change?"
what?"
Zhang Ning's voice flowed in Qin Yang's heart like a clear spring. For some reason, Qin Yang always had a strange feeling. Whenever Zhang Ning came to his side, the hostility in his heart seemed to be dissolved.
Generally, that inexplicable irritability gradually goes away from oneself.
"You... know everything?" Qin Yang gently hugged the woman in front of him, and slowly and feebly sat down next to a pillar.
"Well..." Zhang Ning nodded. In fact, after Guo Jia left the Golden Summit tent, he had already found her and told Zhang Ning what happened.
"I'm useless. Apart from this, I really can't think of any other way..." Qin Yang smiled dejectedly and laughed at himself.
"Why not? I think if you really did that, it would be the stupidest choice. Back then, Master almost destroyed the entire Yellow Turban Army because of this." Zhang Ning leaned on Qin Yang's chest.
Youyou said.
"But……"
"I know you are not willing to give in, but things are fickle, so how can it always be smooth sailing? You and I are like this, and which emperors, generals and ministers in the past have not been like this? Taking a step back does not mean admitting defeat. When the sea and the sky are brighter, wouldn't it be possible for you to make a comeback?
Is there any chance? You are my man and the only person I love. I believe in you!" Zhang Ning's eyes instantly became extremely clear, and her words made the depressed Qin Yang's heart beat.
"If you take a step back, the sky will be brighter..." Qin Yang's eyes gradually lit up.
