Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 15 Thunder Strike (Two in One)

The task of sending Shen Tianzi as an envoy honorably fell on Liu Yizhen's chief secretary, Du Ji.

In order to keep it secret and prevent Shen Tianzi from discovering it, Liu Yizhen did not tell Du Ji the whole process of the plan.

But even so, Du Ji also felt his little heart beating.

What is a "secret discussion" with Shen Tianzi?
Could it be that Duke Guiyang wants to join hands with Shen Tianzi to attack Wang Sima?
Du Ji shuddered, feeling that the weather in Guanzhong was about to change.

And Shen Tianzi's department, which retreated because of "defeat" before, is stationed in Liu Huibao.

At this time, Shen Tianzi was also full of apprehension.

Will the plan succeed?

Will Wang Zhen'e come?

After killing Wang Zhen'e, can he really control the situation in Guanzhong?

Shen Tianzi is like a gambler. He walks on a tightrope, and if he is not careful, he will fall into the abyss.

In the past two days, he didn't even sleep well, he didn't think about eating and drinking, he was depressed, and he waited and waited for the news of Chang'an.

"General! Governor of Yongzhou, Du Ji, asks to see you."

Du Ji?

The people of Duke Guiyang!
What is he doing here?
Seeing that it was not Wang Zhen'e but Liu Yizhen who was waiting, the sweat on Shen Tianzi's palms became denser.

"Let him in."

No matter what the other party's purpose was, Shen Tianzi still didn't dare to reject Liu Yizhen openly.

It's just that around Shen Tianzi's tent, the number of troops stationed is obviously a little more.

"Master Du Ji has seen General Shen."

Du Jichang is a talented person, and he treats others with a feeling of spring breeze.

"General Shen, Lord Guiyang learned that General Shen was frustrated in his expedition, so he specially ordered Ji to come to condolences to the soldiers."

Hearing Du Ji's reason for coming, Shen Tianzi was three points annoyed and seven points relieved.

After all, Liu Yizhen sent someone to prove that he should not have been exposed yet.

However, Liu Yizhen's meddling in this kick made it possible that Wang Zhen'e might not come. So, wouldn't Shen Tianzi's previous arrangements be in vain?

But soon Shen Tianzi knew it was not for nothing!

After Du Ji talked about the scene for a long time, Du Ji finally found the opportunity to insert the topic.

"Duke Guiyang and Wang Changshi know that General Shen has been wronged these days, and it's all because Wang Zhen'e is too domineering!"

Du Ji's words pierced Shen Tianzi's heart.

When Shen Tianzi first heard that he had a "confidant", a sense of grievance rose in his heart.

"Who said no?"

After the two chatted for a long time, Du Ji finally took out a secret letter from his bosom.

"General Shen."

Du Ji presented the secret letter in his hand, but there was a lot of blank space in his words, and he left it to Shen Tianzi to make up for himself.

Shen Tianzi asked his confidant Shen Jingren, who was also a member of his clan, to take the secret letter and examine it carefully.

The secret was sealed tightly with wax, and there was no trace of opening it.

And there was no word on the envelope.

There is only one big seal of Liu Yizhen, Lord Guiyang.

Shen Tianzi looked suspiciously at Du Ji, then at Shen Jingren.

Finally, he opened the letter.

"hiss!"

Looking at the letter, Shen Tianzi felt as if his blood was soaked in liquid nitrogen.

I saw Shen Tianzi's breathing became more and more rapid, and finally stood up in shock.

He looked at Du Ji with a sincere tone: "Master Du! Is this written by Duke Guiyang himself?"

"Uh-huh!"

Du Ji didn't tell Shen Tianzi, because Liu Yizhen felt tired of writing, so Liu Yizhen dictated beside him, and then asked Du Ji to write it for him.

Fortunately, Shen Tianzi had never seen Liu Yizhen's own handwriting. Seeing Du Ji's confession, a stone in Shen Tianzi's heart fell to the ground with a bang.

"Good! Good! Hahahahahaha!"

After saying a few good words one after another, Shen Tianzi actually burst out laughing.

"Those who have gained the Tao will be helped a lot, but those who have lost the way will be given little help!"

Wang Zhen is evil, Wang Zhen is evil!

You have today too!
Shen Tianzi put the letter in his sleeve, and told Shen Jingren who was beside him: "Prepare the horse, I'm going to Chang'an to meet Duke Guiyang!"

Shen Jingren was dumbfounded when he heard the words.

He knew Shen Tianzi's plan.

Understand that this is the most dangerous time!
How can the general go out of the camp alone and go to the meeting alone!
I could see Shen Jingren's worry, but because Du Ji was at the side, Shen Tianzi couldn't say it clearly, he could only hint: "Duke Guiyang and I have an important matter to discuss, if this matter comes to fruition, there will be no worries."

Saying that, Shen Tianzi blinked at Shen Jingren.

But at this time, his attitude towards Du Ji was different. The one on the left was kind and gave Du Ji a lot of gifts.

Finding an opportunity to temporarily distract Du Ji, Shen Tianzi hugged Shen Jingren overjoyed.

"Brother! The event is over!"

With that said, Shen Tianzi told Shen Jingren about Liu Yizhen's plan in the letter to join him in taking down Wang Zhen's evil military power.

But Shen Jingren didn't feel suspicious about the pillow that was brought to him just as he was about to doze off.

"Brother! This matter is certainly gratifying, but you still cannot be put in danger yourself!"

Shen Tianzi was still very relaxed: "Since Mr. Guiyang is so sincere, then I won't be petty."

"It's a big deal, I'll go carefully and don't let Wang Zhen'e find out. And you will do the military affairs for me!"

Seeing Shen Tianzi like this, Shen Jingren didn't want to persuade him anymore, but he was more thoughtful and asked Shen Tianzi to bring more dead men to go with him.

And Shen Jingren himself, as Shen Tianzi's confidant, stayed behind in the barracks, taking charge of Shen Tianzi.

Soon, Du Ji and Shen Tianzi took the same car and went to Chang'an in secret. On the way, Shen Tianzi tested Du Ji several times, and found that the other party really had no other intentions, and they were even more happy in their hearts.

At this time, he had imagined that he would trample Wang Zhen'e under his feet like Long Aotian, whipping Wang Zhen'e constantly with a small leather whip.

"It's best to take this opportunity and find a way to get Duke Guiyang to kill Wang Zhen'e! From now on, I won't be blamed for this!"

The closer Shen Tianzi was to Chang'an, the more obvious the pleasure in his heart became.

at last!

Finally waiting for this moment!
Wang Zhen evil!I'll let you know right away who is truly invincible!

The carriage drove into Chang'an, and the road seemed extremely long.

"Master Du, why haven't you arrived yet?"

"Come on, come on."

What the two of them didn't know was——

Immediately after the two of them crossed the Wei River, an army of thousands of people detoured from Chang'an to Xianyang and headed straight for Liu Huibao.

"General, this is Liu Huibao's defense!"

This army is exactly the direct line of soldiers and horses led by Wang Zhen'e himself!

At this time, Wang Zhen'e was wearing bright light armor, with a dignified expression.

Seeing that his younger brother Wang Kang, who is his adjutant, took out the defense map of Liu Huibao, Wang Zhen'e hated iron and steel: "How can this thing be useful? Not to mention that we have to take down Shen Tianzi's soldiers without bloodshed this time. If you want to fight, will this thing be useful? Shen Tianzi won't rearrange the layout?"

"The art of war is deceitful. Don't use one strategy to fight all directions. That guy Tan Daoji was compiling a set of military books. I read it and thought it was pretty good. You can go back to Jiankang and ask someone to borrow it to see how you can learn it."

Wang Zhen'e said so about Wang Kang, but in his heart he was Liu Yi's true self.

There are many generals who can fight, but very few have the ability to write their own military books. They are all handsome talents that are rare in a century.

And Tan Daoji can definitely be counted as one. The military book he wrote is not only simple and easy to understand, but also has detailed cases.This is very suitable for beginners like Liu Yizhen.

After returning to Jiankang, it would be good to find a way to snatch the book of war and show it to Lord Guiyang.

"woo"

Wang Kang didn't know that his elder brother was thinking of someone else, but he lowered his head in shame.

"In front is Liu Huibao!"

No longer chatting nonsense, Wang Zhen'e walked in the front on his pony, and secretly touched something in his arms.

"Duke Guiyang handed this to me. If I can't suppress Shen Tianzi's department, then it would be a shame!"

When Wang Zhen's evil army arrived in front of Liuhui Fort, they could clearly see the mess of Shen Tianzi stationed in Liuhui Fort, as if they were panicking about why an army suddenly appeared.

"I am King Sima of Anxi to suppress evil, and I am here to join forces with you under the order of General Anxi!"

Wang Zhen'e's Guanzhong accent was exceptionally loud, and even Liu Hui's soldiers in the castle could hear his voice clearly.

"What? Wang Zhen'e came to join forces?"

"It's no wonder, after all, General Shen lost before."

"Hey! By the way, it was rumored a while ago that Wang Zhen'e wanted to kill all the troops from the Central South to separatize Guanzhong, have you heard?"

"And so on!"

"."

The arrival of Wang Zhen'e made the soldiers of Shen Tianzi's troops panic.

It wasn't the soldiers who panicked the most, but Shen Jingren who guarded the army on behalf of Shen Tianzi.

At this time, Shen Jingren's heart was like ten thousand alpacas running past.

It's over!

As soon as Shen Tianzi left, Wang Zhen'e sent troops to come. If there was no story in it, he wouldn't believe it!

But that's not what he should be thinking about right now.

But what should I do now?
Don't resist, don't be reconciled.

Resist.
Shen Jingren is still clear about how much he weighs, he doesn't have the ability to command troops like Shen Tianzi.What's more, he can still control this army if his reputation is not right.

The most important thing is Wang Zhen'e!

Even Shen Tianzi would not dare to say that he can resist the king's evil, let alone Shen Jingren?
The most terrible thing is that many of Shen Tianzi's adjutants and aides came to find Shen Tianzi.

When they learned that Shen Tianzi was not in the barracks, they were all ashamed.

"How to do?"

Without Shen Tianzi, this gang of Shen Tianzi seems to have lost their backbone.

"Damn! I spelled it with the one surnamed Wang!"

"Why don't we join forces? After all, we haven't lost our face yet."

Shen Jingren, who had two different voices, was in a trance.

"enough!"

Shen Jingren, as Shen Tianzi's fellow clan, is also Shen Tianzi's confidant, so his existence is still very influential.

"Open the gate of Wubao and let Wang Zhen'e come in!"

Shen Jingren wanted to fight once.

"In addition, mobilize the dark men in the army and let them act!"

"if only."

As long as it can trigger a bombing camp.

If Wang Zhen'e dares to come, he will die without life!
This plan is called cheating the sky and crossing the sea!

Let Wang Zhen'e die here!

Die in the bombing camp!

Only in this way can Shen Tianzi, himself and others have a chance!
After thinking up to this point, fierceness flashed in Shen Jingren's eyes!

come on!

Meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!

----------

In Chang'an City, it seemed to be extremely quiet today.

After entering Chang'an, the carriage from outside the city headed west, and finally stopped in a wilderness.

Du Ji and Shen Tianzi got out of the carriage together, only to find that they had already arrived in the Chang'an Palace.

"Doesn't this mean that Duke Guiyang has moved out of the palace?"

At this moment, Shen Tianzi finally had a doubt in his heart.

But Du Ji actually didn't know what the situation was, but he still calmed down and said: "Maybe it's because people outside have too many eyes and it's hard to discuss important matters. Let me go to the palace to check."

After all, Du Ji patted his buttocks and walked into a palace first.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

It was as if it had been rehearsed beforehand.

Just when Du Ji pushed open the palace gate on one of the four sides, the palace gates in four directions opened at the same time, revealing the crossbow machine shining with cold light inside.

I saw a few crossbows placed at the entrance of each palace, and behind the crossbows were piled up soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding swords and shields.

When Shen Tianzi saw this scene, a chill poured from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet.

"withdraw!"

But before Shen Tianzi gave the order, the densely packed crossbow arrows in the crossbow machine had already shot at Shen Tianzi and his party.

"Puff puff!"

This is the sound of crossbow arrows passing through the body smoothly, without any sense of stagnation.

In fact, throughout the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the mainstream configuration of long-range weapons has always been the crossbow.

At the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, China's crossbow machine technology had reached its peak!
It’s just that later, because of the need to fight against nomads who ran more and more casually during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, the slightly cumbersome old weapon of the crossbow was eliminated and replaced by a lighter bow.

But that doesn't mean crossbows are really useless.

In a closed battlefield, this weapon unleashes powerful firepower!

In an instant, even the sky was several degrees dark, and the flying crossbow arrows were really like a sky!
This is the best medicine for lack of firepower phobia!
After only firing three rounds, there was no one standing in the field.

At this time, a soldier stepped forward to check, but was pierced through the abdomen with a long knife.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

I saw a man burst out from the mass of flesh wrapped in crossbow arrows in the middle, piercing through the soldiers who came forward.

This person is Shen Tianzi!
Shen Tianzi's eyes were blood red, his hair was disheveled, he pulled out a long knife covered in blood, and shouted loudly.

"Beasts! You beasts! I'm going to kill you!"

If it weren't for the surrounding cronies who protected Shen Tianzi with their bodies just now, Shen Tianzi would still have a few holes in his body now.

And the price is that almost none of the dead men he cultivated in the early years around him died.

"Wang Zhen evil! Wang Zhen evil!"

Shen Tianzi looked around and roared loudly.

"The villain still bows his head?"

At this moment, a voice full of spirit overwhelmed Shen Tianzi's roar.

I saw a veteran come out of the house with a big knife in his hand.

With the roundness of the big saber wheel, the blade floated in front of Shen Tianzi ecstatically. It was originally a fine iron sword, but at this moment it was as soft as catkins.

"Chong!"

Although the knife was weird, Shen Tianzi still caught it.

But when Shen Tianzi saw who was coming, his anger increased by three points: "Mao Dezu! It's you!"

The person who came was Mao Dezu!
I saw Mao Dezu pressed down a little more: "It's the old man! Shen Tianzi you, a villain, can you catch him without letting go?"

"Ah!"

Shen Tianzi spat on Mao Dezu's knife: "I broke through the pass, and my military achievements are above yours! What evidence do you have that I am a traitor?"

At this time, another long voice came.

But it was Liu Yizhen and Wang Xiu.

Liu Yizhen stared at Shen Tianzi with a complicated expression.

"As a general, dereliction of duty and false defeat are the same crime."

"As a colleague, intentional murder is the second crime."

"As a subordinate, if you intend to kill him, you will commit three crimes."

"Shen Tianzi."

"The crime you committed. No amount of military exploits can save you!"
