General Essence Sticky Essence

He Yun walked outside the Jialan Temple alone, and unexpectedly found that there were many pilgrims here, coming and going in an endless stream.

People say, ask for food when you are not full, ask for money when you are full, ask for health when you are sick, ask for marriage when you are alone, and ask for children when you are married. Absolute wish.He Yun lived a stable life since he was a child. He didn't have these wishes, and he never thought that so many people in the world would come to offer incense for this pious person.

Jialan Temple seems to have a kind of magical power. Seeing the monks in plain clothes, the smoky hall, and devout pilgrims, He Yun's heart suddenly calmed down.There was a monk standing outside the main hall, welcoming the pilgrims. He Yun walked over, put his palms together and asked, "Master, you are polite. Have you ever seen a female pilgrim wearing a light orange cloth coat with a dark green agate on her head?" The hairpin is about the same height." He Yun gestured at his chin, "it's about this high. It should come here three times in a row every morning."

The monk smiled slightly and said, "What the benefactor said is a female benefactor named Chen?"

He Yun said: "Yes, where is she now?"

The monk did not answer, but said: "This benefactor, would you like to have a chat with the poor monk."

He Yun wanted to agree, but he glanced suddenly and saw Chen Xiu walking out from the side hall.He subconsciously turned his body sideways, using the pillars beside him to block himself.Obviously he came here to find someone, but now he felt guilty.

The monk smiled when he saw this, and said: "It seems that today is not a coincidence, the benefactor might as well come again some other day."

He Yun said: "I'm sorry, Master, I will come to visit some other day."

Chen Xiu walked towards the gate of the temple, it seemed that she was about to return home, He Yun quietly followed behind her from a distance.

At the same time, a letter came from the northwest frontier and was delivered directly to Xie Xuan who was in the general's mansion.Ding Yong said in the letter that there seems to be a change in the Changlan family.

Just as He Yun guessed, where did the Zhang party get the money to raise private soldiers?Where are the private soldiers raised?The Central Plains is so big, and the forces on the left and right are all under the command of the general, how can we hide it?There is only one answer, the private soldiers are kept outside the pass, the Zhang party may have colluded with the foreign race.

Xie Xuan earlier sent Ding Yong to keep an eye on the various ethnic groups in the Western Regions, but now he really noticed the change.There are nine kingdoms in the northwest, among which the Donghu, Changlan and Louyuan tribes have the largest population and the strongest power.In recent years, the Donghu and Louyuan clans in the northwest region have had some troubles, big and small, but the Changlan clan has been living in peace with the Great Wei.Now, according to the observation of Ding Yong's informants, Changlan actually sent a group of soldiers to march towards the Central Plains intentionally since last night.From what it looked like, there were at least [-] to [-] troops.

Xie Xuan squinted his eyes, [-] to [-] troops?Adding up all of Changlan's troops, I'm afraid it would be difficult to make up this number. Where did so many people come from?

After He Yun followed Chen Xiu to the downtown area, he found a small path and entered the mansion.Xie Xuan hurriedly greeted him, and said: "Mingxian, there may be some progress in the matter of private soldiers."

"Is it true that you have communicated with foreign enemies?"

"Nine times out of ten, Ding Yong sent a letter saying that there seems to be a change in Changlan, and there are [-] to [-] troops coming to the Central Plains."

He Yun opened his eyes wide: "Seventy to eighty thousand?"

Xie Xuan nodded and said: "I have to go to the northwest, this way, can you?"

In the uncle's mansion, Zhang Siyuan was sitting on the side seat of the hall, and above the main seat was the current King Zheng, Xie Chu.Zhang Siyuan said: "Our soldiers and horses are coming from the northwest. If there is no accident, we will reach Pinggu Pass tomorrow, and we will definitely reach Jinyang the day after tomorrow."

King Zheng twitched the corners of his mouth and asked, "Uncle, if this is accomplished, you will be the greatest contributor."

Zhang Siyuan frowned and said: "Your Highness, you must not take it lightly. Xie Xuan must have thought about the matter of private soldiers. The northwest is full of Xie Xuan's soldiers. I'm afraid we can't hide it from him. We must hurry at this time to avoid long nights and dreams."

King Zheng snorted quite nonchalantly: "Even if the regent is aware of it, so what, if there is no silver tiger talisman in the northwest, we can't mobilize troops, and if we don't mobilize troops, we can't deal with an army of [-]. We have the help of the Changlan clan. When Xuan reacted, the army was already under pressure, so they couldn't help but admit defeat."

Their plan was good, the northwest garrison obeyed the order of the silver tiger symbol, but now Xie Xuanren is in Beijing, Ding Yong can't mobilize troops to deal with the [-] army.It will take time for the news to reach Jinyang, enough to catch Xie Xuan and He Yun off guard. At that time, they only need to hold the emperor hostage, and the overall situation will be in their hands.

But the scheming Uncle Zhang Guo couldn't let go of his mind. He always felt that whether it was Xie Xuan or He Yun, there were too many variables in his body, and he might not be so easy to deal with.

When Xie Xuan received the news, he didn't even eat lunch, so he rushed to the northwest alone.He Yun immediately went to the camp of the Central Army, took out the golden tiger amulet, and slapped it on the table blankly. Several lieutenants said without saying a word that they obeyed the general's orders.

Their actions were all carried out in a low-key manner, Xie Xuan didn't even report to the emperor, in order to hide it from Zhang Dang's eyeliner.

In the early morning of the next day, Xie Xuanfeng arrived at Pinggu Pass in a hurry. Three horses died of exhaustion on the way, which shortened the two-day journey by half.As soon as he entered the pass, he quickly arrived at the station of Pinggu Pass, where Ding Yong was already waiting for him.

Xie Xuan cut to the chase and said, "Can the enemy army come?"

Ding Yong hurriedly poured him a bowl of warm wine, and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I haven't arrived yet."

Xie Xuan drank the bowl of wine in one gulp, only to feel the energy of the wine rushing to his head in an instant, and his whole body shivered, extremely sober.He nodded, no matter how fast the march is, there are tens of thousands of soldiers, horses and food, which is no match for Xie Xuan with one man and one horse.Now that he had reached Pinggu Pass, the situation was already under control.

Xie Xuan immediately sent an order: "All the soldiers in the northwest region, except the border garrison, are all dispatched to Pinggu Pass. Let the [-] wild troops be buried here today. Remember, completely block the news, don't let a single bird Fly out." There are [-]% of the troops stationed on the sidelines, and they must defend other countries and cannot move.

Ding Yong got his order and set off immediately.

Xie Xuan changed to a fast horse and immediately went to the Donghu base camp alone.Yang Tamuzhuo greeted him with some surprise, and said, "Why is the prince here?"

Xie Xuan said: "Mu Zhuo annexed the Huajue and Turan kingdoms a while ago, but is it still manageable?"

Yang Tamuzhuo was a little puzzled, but he still answered honestly: "There are not many people in these two small tribes, so there is nothing we can't control."

Xie Xuan smiled and said: "That's good. I'll give you [-]% of the troops as a guarantee. Are you willing to let Changlan become the territory of Donghu?"

It was night, Jinyang City was still so bustling and bustling, and the people lived a stable life no different from usual, unaware that a terrifying conspiracy was about to be staged.

Xie Xuan complained of illness and did not go to court for a day, making Zhang Siyuan worried.What does it mean that the regent is sick at this time?I'm afraid that the illness is false, maybe I found something troublesome?

The army arrived in the evening, and at this time they were quietly stationed on the open hills outside the city. To avoid attracting attention, the soldiers on the two hills did not even dare to light the lights.Zhang Siyuan's informant got the accurate information and immediately reported it to Uncle Guo's mansion, Zhang Siyuan was relieved, it seemed that there was nothing wrong.

Uncle Zhang Guo changed into court clothes, entered the palace late at night, and met His Majesty in the imperial study with His Royal Highness Zheng Wang.

The young emperor was still reviewing the memorial late at night, looking diligent and caring for the people.

He smiled and said, "The emperor and uncle came here late at night, why?"

Zheng Wangdao: "It's nothing, just to see how the emperor manages the government, so that the ministers can learn a lot."

The emperor's smile froze for a moment, and he continued: "You two are busy with the government, if you have nothing to do, go back and rest, I have to go to bed too."

King Zheng twitched the corner of his mouth, walked over, roughly pulled out the writing brush from the emperor's hand, and said: "If the emperor feels tired, you might as well ask the younger brother to share his worries."

The emperor's eyes widened instantly: "You!"

"This throne belongs to my younger brother, right?" Zheng Wang threw away the writing brush, and sat down on the emperor's desk rudely: "I borrowed you to sit for a few days, shouldn't I pay it back?"

The emperor was so angry that he was almost out of breath: "Xie Chu, when I ascended the throne that day, Gu Quan's brotherhood treated you with courtesy and made you a prince, but now you want to avenge your kindness! And you! Uncle Zhang Guo, I asked myself what happened after I ascended the throne. Treat you well, do you have to be a traitor!"

Zhang Siyuan said directly: "Now there are nearly [-] troops approaching the palace, please step aside."

At the same time, there was a huge noise outside the palace gate, and a signal bomb quickly flew into the air, making a bang explosion.King Zheng and Zhang Siyuan showed joy, and said: "The army has arrived, your majesty, please write the edict yourself, don't make it too ugly."

Unexpectedly, the emperor who was originally ashen-faced suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, and said, "My lord, come out?"

Xie Xuan's unhurried voice came from behind the screen: "It's not at the level of a large army, but a group of Wu Jia from the Central Army's battalion came here, just to win the attention of Uncle Guo."

King Zheng was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart, he almost fell off the table, but he reacted quickly and drew out the Shangfang sword at the side, trying to hold the emperor hostage.As soon as Xie Xuan moved, he quickly dodged in front of the emperor, raised his hand and slapped Zheng Wang's wrist easily, took Shang Fang's sword firmly, and inserted it into the scabbard.

King Zheng dislocated his wrist and cried out in pain: "Thank you Xuan for your courage!"

"Dare? As a prince, why don't I dare? Besides, His Royal Highness, isn't this about to become a prisoner?"

Zhang Siyuan's mind turned quickly, and he couldn't help thinking: "Dajun?"

Xie Xuan said leisurely: "It's a pity that His Royal Highness King Zheng and Uncle Guo's private soldiers were all lost at Pinggu Pass."

Zhang Siyuan immediately understood that the game was over.
