In hindsight, no matter how you analyze it, the military action launched by Zhao Guang, the Right Houwei General of the Wei Dynasty, into Xuzhou City in the early morning of April 22nd had no chance of winning.

The reason is very simple. It doesn't matter whether Zhao Guang and his party raised the banner of King Qi or shouted slogans targeting only the Sima brothers, because everyone knows that Zhao Guang just wants to repay the kindness of the late emperor Cao Che.

, just because he was dissatisfied with the Sima family's oppression of the Wei royal family, this hero who was ranked third on the short-lived list wanted to carry out a reaction against the Jiangdu military coup... From this perspective, Zhao Guang was no different from the general.

He threw himself on the opposite side of the entire Jiangdu military coup subject.

So who was the subject of the Jiangdu military coup?

The answer is the entire Custodes! Everyone who wants to go home!

Zhao Xingmi played the role of the early mastermind in the previous military coup in Jiangdu. He said that if you want to achieve a military coup, you don't have to kill too many of your friends, but you must kill a few of your enemies.

...and Zhao Guang made a big mistake on this most critical issue from the beginning.

With just a thousand of his men, plus Qian Ying, Mai Jicai only had a few hundred people. Even though he made a prompt decision and used a double strategy to attack the east and west, he was essentially relying on Qian Ying, his old brother, to make the pills invisible to others.

It was just a combination of poor information and his own cultivation that led to an assassination attempt.

Therefore, when the new Prime Minister Sima Huada was alert in advance, left the general manager's office, and went directly to the other troops, it was entirely possible for Emperor Bai to say afterwards that Zhao Guang's action had failed; and when Qian Ying arrived

After the General Manager found that he was unable to hit the target with one blow, even from the perspective of the parties involved on Zhao Guang's side, the operation had failed.

However, those who witnessed Zhao Guang's final performance in Xuzhou City that morning probably would not think so.

"What's up with him?"

In Xuzhou City, where it started to rain again, Sima Huada, who was standing on the street, was a little confused... He had just learned that the general manager's office was defeated by Zhao Guang's Rangers. Knowing that the overall situation was determined, he used this as an excuse to easily mobilize Sima De.

Ke and others sent troops to surround and kill Zhao Guang and others... As soon as they arrived at the street with the main force, before they could stand still, they saw a golden roc rising into the sky, and they couldn't help but be shocked.

This is a "real" roc bird, with golden light all over its body. The true energy escapes from both sides of the shoulders for more than ten feet, like a pair of golden wings. In its hand is a three-pointed and two-edged Qimen spear with barbs.

, looking from a distance, it looks like the sharp claws of a roc reaching out to grab its prey.

However, the response to Prime Minister Sima was just a few heavy gasps, a burst of laughter that almost came from far away, and of course, different colors of infuriating light that instantly lit up in front of and behind him, and a golden light from top to bottom in front of him.

huge figure!

Astonishingly, it was the Moyun Golden-winged Dapeng that had just taken flight.

The golden light of the Dapeng was shining, and it came straight towards him. Sima Huada was surrounded by seven or eight elixir-forming and elixir-condensing masters. He only felt a flash of golden light in front of him, and then there was a loud noise, followed by a burst of energy.

The strong wind swept everything around, and the broken bricks, rubble, branches, leaves, and rain all flew up. It was like a hurricane or an earthquake.

"The pill is broken!" After the other party failed to hit him and walked away, Sima Huada, who was well-informed after all, reacted immediately, and then wiped the blood sprayed by someone on his face and muttered to himself. "He came to see me.

So, knowing that this time the attack was in vain, he actually broke the pill? A person cannot break the pill unless he is extremely angry, but he actually broke the pill?"

The faces of the people around him, starting from Zuopu Shesima Deke and down, looked uglier than the last.

"Why bother? Why bother?" Sima Huada, whose helmet was knocked crooked, was speechless and asked the people around him. "It's okay to run away. We will let him live. Why should we sacrifice our lives for a fool like Cao Che?"

? Or is it that once you become the emperor, you are so powerful that you will make people willing to fight for him? "

The people around him held their breath and concentrated on defense, and no one paid any attention to him.

The next moment, the roc bird flew again, and this time, the prepared masters exerted their strength at the same time under the unified command of Smadek. The true energy flowed and took shape impressively, forming a formation with the glow of true energy as the background.

The small military formation was like a small sun rising out of thin air on the ground. Linghu Xing waved his saber and took advantage of the military formation's breath to leap up several feet and attack Zhao Guang with all his strength.

When the two collided, there was a huge gap in strength. The golden roc bird in the air seemed to have had half of its wings cut off, and it dimmed instantly, while the remaining main part flew out at the same time and landed on the street, almost destroying half of it.

The brick building was smashed.

But that's all. In almost an instant, a roc bird with wings and feet flew out again covered in golden light. It no longer clung to the Zhenqi Army Formation, but instead pounced on the other Forbidden Army units that were surrounding them.

.

Wherever it went, it was really like an eagle attacking a rabbit, and it was almost smashed to pieces. What's more, it was directly rolled up by the three-pointed two-edged hook gun's dancing energy, lifted into the air and then dropped... This kind of

The killing method was actually more efficient when the surrounding sergeants were generally wearing armor, not to mention the chaos and panic caused by these people's begging in the air and wailing after landing, which made Zhao Guang take action more calmly.

Seeing his subordinates being slaughtered in this way, three Ningdan generals immediately left the formation and jumped up to stop the attack. They were shocked to find that this Zhao Guang was indeed a roc bird second only to Dragon and Phoenix among the heroes of the year. He was extremely fast.

After breaking the pill, he became even more unscrupulous. He was laughing wildly and killing people, but he couldn't stop him at all. There were even pill-condensing masters who were not strong enough and were knocked down and injured by him several times.

"It won't be a problem if this goes on!" During the chaotic battle, Sima Jinda, whose hair had become disheveled at some point, was once again slapped from the air. After landing, there was a bloody gash on his face. Knowing that this could not be done, he simply became embarrassed.

After breaking away from the battle group and coming to his brother, he was stunned when he saw the slight golden light on his shoulders. Then he suppressed many chaotic thoughts in his heart and tried his best to speak. "Brother, we can't wait for him to run out of energy.

How many people would die like that?"

"Then what should we do? I don't have the Fulong Seal!" Sima Huada was speechless and still spread his hands.

"The Seventh General means to ask for reinforcements!" Zhao Xingmi shouted from behind. "Either call a few more Chengdan masters to come and trap him with nets on all sides, or ask Duke Niu to take action!"

Sima Huada woke up, but quickly had an idea: "Invite them all! Send the following officers to invite other soldiers outside the city, and tell them that Zhao Guang wants to avenge Cao Che, and now he has gone crazy and wants to return to the west.

Everyone, come here! Then, Lao Qi, go to Cangcheng in person and ask Duke Niu to come! Explain your interests and tell him, if he doesn’t come, I will tell the imperial army that all the servants are colluding with Zhao Guang to prevent everyone from returning to the east capital.

!”

When Sima Jinda heard this, regardless of the fact that he had been disfigured, he did not stop for a moment, directly greeted his subordinates, and divided his own troops into two groups, heading outside the city and Cangcheng respectively.

Not to mention the road outside the city, when the right servant Sima Jinda arrived at Cangcheng, Mai Jicai was already trapped in a narrow gap in the wall outside Cangcheng by Yuan Li who was ambushing him here.

Tomoshiro Wanghou himself wore iron armor and a red cloak, held a knife and led the crowd from Cangcheng to attack.

But Sima Jinda ignored him at all, and jumped through the air with his hair disheveled, holding a sword, and then shouted from the air: "Niu Du Gong! Where is Niu Du Gong? Now the army is saying that you colluded with Zhao Guang, and the intention was

To prevent the entire army from returning to the Eastern Capital, yes or no?!"

After asking this question for the second time, Sima Jinda suddenly felt his feet sink when he was about to land on the roof. He fell from the roof and was dragged into another room with the bricks, tiles and wood.

When he got up in embarrassment, he saw Duke Niu looking at him coldly, and behind him were dozens of servants standing with sticks.

Sima Jinda did not feel timid at all after being subjected to the Grand Master's tactics. Instead, he straightened up his sword and scolded: "Mr. Niu, it's all because of you that things have reached this point today! Everyone wanted to return home, but as the only Grand Master, why did you do it instead?

Taking the lead in causing chaos?!"

"We had an agreement beforehand. Even though we were traveling together, I was only responsible for the safety of the palace and would not interfere with each other. However, you brought chaos into this place. I haven't even asked for the crime. How can you accuse me of causing chaos?" Ushikawa asked coldly.

"The country is in chaos, and we are all wandering outside. There are traitors inside and powerful enemies outside. As the sole master of the Central Committee, if you don't help the Prime Minister maintain people's hearts, it is equivalent to causing chaos!" Sima Jinda kept yelling loudly. "Today's matter,

You think you are disturbed, but we have to deal with the rebels and be wary of you at the same time... How can we treat you as one of our own by doing this?"

Duke Niu didn't panic at all: "Don't insist on making false threats. You just said, are you going to break the contract?"

"What a fart, you broke the contract!" Sima Jinda's eyes were red, as if he had lost his composure. "For you alone, we have repeatedly made compromises, wasting our efforts, but you are always ambiguous! Ushikawa, you must make it clear today, what do you want from us?

, or from Zhao Guang and those thieves?"

"What if I follow you? What if I follow Zhao Guang?" Niu Dugong finally became angry. The immortal energy condensed out of thin air in the room, like a blue python as thick as a bowl, and then it automatically circled around in the air.

The opponent circled.

Sima Jinda Lin was so powerful that he always stood up with his sword without fear: "If you follow us, you must obey the Prime Minister's order and kill Zhao Guang immediately! This guy is now breaking the pill and killing his brothers in the army and the people in the city without restraint. He can't wait for a moment."

! And if you want to die with him, we will kill Zhao Guang and then kill you! Fighting for the lives of several generals and hundreds of soldiers, exhausting your true energy, will always make it impossible for you to gain a foothold!"

Ushikawa was already laughing in anger when he heard it, because he already knew what the other party was planning.

Besides, Zhao Guang has already shattered the pill, does he still have a choice? Now to help a man who is about to die? In other words, everyone is in the same boat, does he want to sit back and watch a lunatic who breaks the pill wantonly slaughter the sergeants?

But if we try to stop Zhao Guang in this way, it is equivalent to following Sima's theory.

However, this does not seem to be Sima Jinda's method, but Sima Huada's style... Sima Jinda looked like this. It was obvious that he had been beaten, suffered a loss, and was angry in his heart. Only then did he treat himself, who could have prevented him from suffering a loss.

People showed a fierce attitude.

After thinking this, Ushikawa calmed down.

To be fair, Duke Niu is not a man who is good at politics, nor is he a man who has a strong desire for power. Otherwise, with his unique cultivation among the chamberlains, even if he travels with the imperial chariot on a daily basis, it would be easy to control the interior of Beiya.

How could Gao Jiang, Wang Zhuo, Yu Wei and other father-in-laws decentralize power one by one and even take over Beiya?

But this does not mean that Duke Niu is a person who knows nothing about this... He just knows nothing about it. After experiencing so many people and so many things, he should have learned a lot... This kind of person at least knows what it means to recognize the situation clearly.

Otherwise, where would it be that the people in Jiangdu City were wise enough to protect themselves?

The current situation is that the Forbidden Army is still leading the entire migration team, and it is the Sima brothers who have the absolute political advantage among the Forbidden Army. As for Zhao Guang, the idea of ​​this roc trying to avenge the emperor is ridiculous...

If others don't know, doesn't he, Ushikawa, know? When it comes to revenge, countless people in this world would hate the emperor for dying so easily.

Not to mention, Zhao Guang has already broken the pill, so why let him continue to suffer and commit murder at the same time?

"I'll go with you." Niu Dugong suddenly smiled, and the big blue python disappeared.

Sima Jinda was stunned. The sword in his hand also lost its vitality, and he became a little panicked.

"But I am not going with you to bow down to your eldest brother... If you arrive in Dongdu safely and meet Sima Erlang, it may not be necessary to bow to the Sima family. As for your eldest brother, he served as the late emperor's bodyguard in his early years. We have been for decades

We know each other, but we don't know that he only knows how to sniff up and down, fight for power and gain, but there is nothing honest about it. Sima Qilang, say it yourself, how can such a person achieve great things?" Ushikawa spoke sincerely. "Today.

The reason for this trip is that Zhao Guang Sui Dan begged for death and did not want him to hurt innocent people."

When Sima Jinda heard this, he was a little embarrassed: "It's the boy Meng Lang today."

Ushikawa shook his head: "How can I talk about a brat?"

With that said, he rolled up the other party and flew to the roof. When he came outside, Niu He pointed towards the battlefield outside the gate of Cang City. Just as he was about to ask, Sima Jinda suddenly asked in a low voice: "Master Niu, my eldest brother's mansion."

What happened to that concubine?"
To be continued...
