The five hundred and twentieth chapters military coup (six)

On the 15th of February, in the Luoyang Military Office, Zhang Xing sat alone behind his commander's case. Under the dim candlelight, he was holding an emergency military report that had just come from the outer city.

Zhang Xing would have a copy of the military information that was transmitted to Wu'an Institute. When he learned that there was a chaotic life in the outer city, he did not make any move immediately, nor did he go to Wu'an Institute or the Eastern Palace, but just sat in the original place and looked at it for a long time.

Zhang Xing knew very well that as the highest commander of Luoyang's defense, he shouldn't have reacted like this when he encountered this kind of situation, but after hearing Kuang Shaoyue's words, some of his previous thoughts were also a little shaken. At this time, he would rather sit for a while and figure things out.

At this time, a man hurried into the hall. When he put down his hat, he saw that Zhang Xing was still sitting there, so he came forward in a hurry and said impatiently: "Why are the general still here?"

"If it's not here, where is it?" Zhang Xing looked at the visitor and said coldly, "Shaoyue, you can take a look for it yourself."

As he said that, Zhang Xing handed over the military information report in his hand to the person in front of him. Kuang Shaoyue said a lot of things he had said to him before, but Kuang Shaoyue didn't even read it. He put down the report directly and said, "General, it's time to make achievements."

Zhang Xing smiled bitterly and said, "It's really something to do with you. I thought it was strange. Lan Xiening was responsible for the defense in Linshui. You have a close relationship with Lan Xiening. You can't not know what he wants to cause, but you didn't expect that you are so bold and dare to have trouble in Luoyang City."

Kuang Shaoyue said with his chest straight: "If the general wants to kill me, just order the swordsman to come in. Or is the general weak and dare not do anything to the Eastern King, so... he is willing to be the turtle that shrank and wait here to be punished by the Eastern King?"

Zhang Xing fell silent for a moment.

From receiving the war report, he guessed that the matter might have been done by Kuang Shaoyue and Lan Xiening. He was decisive but he was a little in a dilemma. If he sent troops to suppress the situation, the situation would soon calm down, but he would also be implicated. Just as Kuang Shaoyue said, Lin Zhan's position in the Eastern Palace became more stable, and no one could shake his position. His future prospects would be unpredictable.

But if he just let it go and ignore it, he would not end up well. Perhaps he would become an accomplice afterwards. After all, just a few people under Lan Xiening's command, what kind of climate can it be? Even if he doesn't take action, the people who rebel slowly will be suppressed.

Kuang Shaofu saw Zhang Xing silent, and he knew he had a chance. If it were Zhang Xing, the previous words he had said before, would have caused others to fall into the ground. The reason why Zhang Xing did not occur was because Zhang Xing agreed with what he said. And he no longer had the same heart for the Eastern Palace.

"General, when will he stay still? Not long after, the news will reach the East King. How can the general have another foothold?" Kuang Shaoyue began to say bitterly again.

Zhang Xing looked up slightly, looked at Kuang Shaoyue and said, "Move? How to move? Are you asking me to help the evildoer and send troops to rebel against the court?"

Kuang Shaoyue smiled and said, "General, I don't know that those who have accomplished great things since ancient times are all those who dare to do it. Now Luoyang's defense is entirely entrusted to the general. Who can stop the general? Since the Eastern King is unkind to the general, why should the general give righteousness? Some of my people are willing to help the general accomplish great things, and they go through fire and water without hesitation!"

As he said that, Kuang Shaoyue took out a piece of paper from his arms and opened it, with several names grinning inside.

Zhang Xing was very frightened when he saw that the people among them were any of the people who had disappeared before and were said to have been dispatched by Han Jian. They were either close to each other or belonged to the same army. This also shows that the Dongwang Mansion had long noticed that there might be changes in the army and had already made some reactions in advance.

"You..." Zhang Xing looked at Kuang Shaoyue and shouted, "I ask you, what is the relationship between the people who have disappeared without reason in the army before?"

Kuang Shaoyue sighed, "Why is the general so stubborn? Can you protect his country for a mere young man? Dong Wang's son is just a mere boy. He can't do martial arts, but he can take charge of the foundation of the Dong Wang Mansion. If the general is not there to assist him, he has such skills?"

Zhang Xing smiled bitterly. What Kuang Shaoyue said was completely different from what he said in the afternoon.

Before, Kuang Shaoyue tried his best to provoke, and while saying that the King of Dong was capable, he helped Lin Xiaosu's brother, Lin Zhan, to take the throne. Now he said that the King of Dong was not capable, and while inconsistent, he also realized that he might have fallen into Kuang Shaoyue's way.

Zhang Xing felt that he had no way out, and even killing Kuang Shaoyue would be useless.

"You dare to protect these people without any intention?" Zhang Xing did not drag his mind and asked Shaoyue directly.

“No problem!”

Kuang Shaoyue said, and said, "Now, as long as the general gives orders, these people will just rely on the general's order. Tomorrow, the general will be the lord of Luoyang."

Zhang Xing looked very embarrassed. In just one day, he had gone from a loyal minister in the Eastern Palace to become a traitor, and even he himself could not accept this change.

But now the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. If he hesitates for a while and asks the East Prince's Mansion to react first, his fate will be in danger.

"Okay, I will give you a warrant to mobilize troops into the inner city!"

Zhang Xing said, taking out the order talisman from his arms. This is the order talisman for the Luoyang inner city. As long as it is in his hands, the soldiers and horses outside can enter the Luoyang inner city without any obstacles. In other words, the riots in the outer city are about to spread to the inner city.

"General, I will never let the general down!" Kuang Shaoyue said, and then left with the order talisman.

As soon as Kuang Shaoyue left, Zhang Xing felt that he was in a state of great trouble. Before, he had only had a small riot in the city. He only needed to rectify the chaos and resolve it. With his friendship with the Eastern Prince's Mansion, he would never be confiscated and exterminated. But now he was putting himself in danger. The result of failure would not only die, but also ruin himself.

For a general, statements are sometimes more important than life.

Zhang Xing still felt that it was a bit arbitrary. Leaving everything to Kuang Shaoyue to do is equivalent to handing over the initiative to others. He still had little doubts about Kuang Shaoyue, after all, he was a fellow villager and a relative, and he could have been said to be a fellow comrade in the military camp.

"Come here. Summon all the generals to come here to discuss matters!" Zhang Xing shouted.

Zhang Xing felt that it was time for him to take action, and he could not let Kuang Shaoyue take risks outside. The situation in Luoyang may have a conclusion before dawn, but at this time, he needed to be more calm and raise the possibility of success to the highest level.

What Zhang Xing thought was that all the generals of Luoyang’s defense are under his command now, and as long as he controls these people, the East King would have no choice.

But when he shouted this sound and had not received a response for a long time, he himself was also a little surprised.

When Zhang Xing came to the door, he saw that the entire military yard was deserted and there was no one in his sight. He felt a sense of desolation, as if there was no one around him to help him.

"General..." A messenger came in a hurry and was about to say something in front of Zhang Xing. Suddenly, several people came up behind the man and chopped the messenger to the ground.

Zhang Xing immediately became nervous and pulled out his sword. Before he could move, he saw the people in front of him coming forward. There were more than a dozen people. When he looked closely, he could see clearly that the person behind the crowd was Dong Wang himself.

"Young Master?" Zhang Xing felt discouraged. King Dong came, did he know the whole story and came to ask him for guilt?

"Old Zhang, is it you?" Han Jian walked up and said, "It's good to see you. I thought you had an accident. Several generals in the army were killed for no reason, and someone reported this to me. I was planning to come over and take a look, but then I heard that there was some chaos in the city and there was no one in Wu'an, so I could only come to you to ask about the situation."

Zhang Xing's expression was a little stiff, and he didn't expect the King of Dong to come so soon.

He probably didn't believe what the Eastern King said. If he wanted the Eastern King to come over and ask about the situation, would he kill the messenger without saying anything?

At this moment, several soldiers came over at the door, as if they were panic and came with some news. Before they could get close, they were already taken away by the people around Han Jian and pushed in together.

"What's the matter?" Han Jian looked at the people and said.

These people were Jiang Ke and others who had just assassinated several generals in the army.

"We are here to report military information to the general." Jiang Ke acted innocently and knelt down quickly, "I don't know that the young master is here..."

"Oh. If you have anything, just say it." Han Jian said.

Jiang Ke pretended to be panicked and said, "General Zuo Jun was killed, the murderer escaped, and someone was following him."

"This is a big deal." Han Jian glanced at Jiang Ke and said, "Old Zhang, go inside and say, it's cold and it's inconvenient to speak outside."

Zhang Xing's face turned pale. Liu Hua, the general of the Left Army, was the person he had met on Kuang Shaoyue's list before. He was killed so quickly. He always felt that he had not seen things so much, or that the one who killed people was the King of Dong.

Han Jian came, but Zhang Xing did not dare to act rashly, so he had to enter the hall with Han Jian. Then several soldiers lit up all the candlesticks in the hall, and the hall also became brighter.

At this time, only a few generals came over, but they were all confused. They were obviously awakened by the person who sent the order from their sleep, and they still didn't know what was going on in the city.

When the visitor saw Zhang Xing, before he could salute, he found that the King of Dong was also there, and they all became nervous.

After arriving in Luoyang, the King of Dong had never come to the military office in person at night. If something big happened, how could the King of Dong have come in person?

People came to Han Jian to greet Han Jian. Instead of sitting behind the Shuai Case, Han Jian pointed to the Shuai Case position and said to Zhang Xing: "Old Zhang, this is your territory. You don't need to be too polite."

Zhang Xing hurriedly saluted and said, "How dare I?"

"What's there to dare? Do you want me to go up and help you sit?" Han Jian said with a smile.

Zhang Xing sat down in front of his handsome case, but saw two people standing beside Han Jian. He didn't think anything at all. After all, there were always many fans behind the King of Dong came out. But when he vaguely recognized the two of them as familiar, he thought about it carefully and sat down, but immediately stood up again.

Among the two people after Han Jian's exercise, there was the second lady of the Southern Princess, who was the East Princess, and he himself dared not believe the other one. Wouldn't it be the current queen?

When Zhang Xing gave Kuang Shaoyue the talisman before, he naturally knew that Kuang Shaoyue's purpose of mobilizing troops into the inner city this time was obviously not just to create riots in the city, but more importantly to enter the palace. Now, the queen stood in front of him. If it was an opportunity, it was also an opportunity. It was almost tentacles to kill the queen, but now the Eastern King is also here. If there was no complete preparation, the Queen dared to come with the Eastern King?

Zhang Xing was about to go forward to salute, but saw Han Jian pressing his hands down and said, "Sit down, I am just here to ask about the situation today, so there is no need to be too polite. Just sit and talk."

When Zhang Xing heard this, he felt a little suspicious about what he had originally believed in.

If the Eastern King is really the current queen behind him, why would the Eastern King sit and the Emperor stand?

At this time, more generals came in, but they were not as frightened as Zhang Xing, because most people didn't know what was going on, and naturally they didn't know that the riots in the city were getting worse and worse.

"Your Highness, are you?" Su Tingxia came over relatively late. When he saw Han Jian, he came forward to salute, looking very respectful.

Although Su Tingxia came a little late, she was the first person to dare to come forward and face Han Jian directly.

For a moment, the whole hall looked at Han Jian. After all, the questions asked by Su Tingxia were also what they wanted to know.

"Let's not talk about this for now." Han Jian looked at Zhang Xingdao, "Old Zhang, the right envoy of the army is here. Where is the left envoy of the army now?"

Zhang Xing didn't know how to answer for a moment. Could it be that he told Han Jian that he had sent him to rebel?

"I... I don't know much..." Zhang Xing replied.

"Forget it if you don't come, there is a little commotion in the city. I have sent someone to calm it down. It is estimated that it will be resolved after a while." Han Jian said to everyone present, "At the same time, there is another thing. I will tell you later. Let's relax first, don't be too reserved, just wait for the news together."

The people present looked at each other. There was a riot in Luoyang City, and no matter how small it was, they would not be small. They knew this very clearly. They all thought to themselves that although the King of Dong said it easily now, it would be possible that anyone would be unlucky if they pursued it later.

Han Jian sat there, but kept looking at Zhang Xing with a smile. In winter, Zhang Xing's forehead was covered with sweat.

After waiting for half an hour, Han Jian still stopped him from sitting and talking. At this time, many generals had already noticed something was wrong. More people recognized the identities of the two "body guards" standing behind Han Jian's exercise, but no one dared to point them out.

Time passed quickly, and it was already the middle of the night. Suddenly, there was noisy outside, but several soldiers were escorting one in. When they arrived in the hall, many people exclaimed, and even Zhang Xing stood up and looked at the person being escorted, wanting to see if it was Kuang Shaoyue.

After careful reading, Zhang Xing confirmed that it was not Kuang Shaoyue. He was holding his heart but still didn't let go. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
