The clang of iron armor alarmed the city of Luoyang.

On both sides of the street outside the Changhemen of the imperial city, there are bronze camels, bronze horses, bronze dragons, bronze turtles, auspicious signs such as warding off evil spirits, unicorns, and Tianlu.

This street is the famous Tongtuo Street.

This pair of bronze camels was also built by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to commemorate the opening of the Western Regions. In order to decorate Luoyang, Emperor Ming sent all the golden figures, bronze camels, dew-bearing trays and other objects from Chang'an to Luoyang. Most of them were destroyed along the way, and only a few arrived at Luoyang.

.

However, today, these copper-cast auspicious signs have lost their former luster.

Because the soldiers' armor and spears shone brighter than them.

General Cao Shuang, General Cao Xun of the Martial Guard, Cao Yan, the Cavalry Chang Shi, plus Deng Yang, He Yan, Ding Mi, Li Sheng and others entered the palace with great momentum.

The maids, eunuchs, and concubines were trembling.

Some old palace officials vaguely recalled the scene when Emperor Wen took over the Han Dynasty.

The palace gates were opened wide open as Deng Dang waited for the eunuchs to greet him.

It seems to be welcoming a new owner.

In the main palace, Queen Mother Guo and Wei Emperor Cao Fang looked outside the palace gate in horror.

The footsteps got closer and closer, but stopped outside the palace gate.

"Your Majesty Cao Shuang begs the Queen Mother to move to Yongning Palace!" Cao Shuang's breathless voice sounded outside the city.

"The late emperor always regarded the general as his sibling. How can the general do this today as a favor to the late emperor?" Empress Dowager Guo scolded.

There was silence outside the hall.

But soon Deng Yang's deep voice sounded, "The general has no other intentions. Yongning Palace is quiet and elegant, which is perfect for the Queen Mother to rest."

"What if I don't want to go?" Queen Mother Guo's voice became distant in the palace.

Outside the palace, Cao Shuang became increasingly frustrated and said, "Please Queen Mother, put the great Wei State first."

But Deng Yang, He Yan, Ding Mi and others around them were all impatient, and turned their attention to Cao Xun, Cao Yan and other Cao brothers.

Cao Xun waved his hand, and thousands of forbidden troops shouted in unison: "Please put the country first!"

After a long silence in the palace, Queen Mother Guo laughed, "It turns out that the general knows about Sheji, so let me see how you ruin the Sheji of Wei!"

Smiling and laughing, he wept across from the sixteen-year-old Emperor Cao Fang.

South of the imperial palace, Sima Mansion.

Taifu Sima Yi looked north.

His eyes were rarely cloudy.

"The general has taken action." Jiang Ji said expressionlessly.

"The late emperor maintained the imperial court with his father, Cao Shuang, and the Queen Mother. Today, the balance has been broken. Cao Shuang is in charge of the government alone, and the world has been troubled since then." Sima Shi said quietly.

Sima Yi said: "There will never be enough affairs in the world. The general wants to seize power, so just give it to him. Success or failure depends on the form, and safety and danger also depend on the situation. The situation is constantly changing, and the general is mediocre. How can An know all about it?"

"

Jiang Jidao: "Will the general take action against the Taifu?"

A cold light flashed in Master Sima's eyes.

But Sima Yi smiled lightly and said, "Zitong is overly worried. The general and I have no sworn hatred. The general only wants superficial power, so what can I do if I give it to him? I have fought for the Wei Dynasty for so many years.

In the Northern War, there was no merit but hard work. The general has a gentle temperament and can tolerate me, an old man like me. Tomorrow, I will report my illness."

Jiang Ji glanced at Master Sima again.

There was no expression on Master Sima's face.

In the eighth year of the reign of Emperor Zhengshi of the Wei Dynasty, General Cao Shuang used the plan of Deng Yang, He Yan, Ding Mi and others to move the Queen Mother Guo to Yongning Palace.

The power of the imperial court fell into the hands of Cao Shuang's brothers.

Cao Shuang reciprocated the favor, and Deng Yang, He Yan, Bi Gui, Ding Mi, Li Sheng and others were either ministers or ministers and had complete control over the minister's desk.

Taifu Sima Yi claimed to be ill and could not leave home from then on.

Luoyang quickly returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

However, the balanced pattern set by Emperor Ming has been broken, and the undercurrent will only become more turbulent.

Night shrouded Linqiang City.

The fire was burning in the west of Linqiang City.

"Report to Zhang Sima, Zhong Qiang is besieging Lu Shuihu and Yuezhi Hu!" The scout came to report with great excitement.

But Zhang Te remained unmoved.

"Zhang Sima, the enemy is in internal strife. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Captain Zhou Fang expressed joy.

"Captain Zhou, do you think this is an opportunity?" Zhang Te stood up and looked to the west, where there were bursts of fire and people shouting.

It does seem to be an opportunity.

Zhou Fang was stunned, "Is it a scam? It doesn't look like it?"

Zhang Te shook his head and said: "Soldiers are deceitful. The enemy's internal strife is real, and it is also real to lure our troops out of the city! Look to the south, all the lights are out, which is very different from usual. I'm afraid the fans are waiting for us."

Zhou Fang said angrily: "What a cunning thief!"

Zhou Fang was not very convinced of Zhang Te at first, but after so many days, Zhang Te could predict the enemy every time. Wherever there was danger in the city, he would be there.

He killed no less than thirty enemy soldiers with his own hands, and his armor was full of wounds.

Gradually he won the respect of the military and civilians.

Linqiang City is therefore impregnable.

"It's a pity that we can only watch the excitement in the city." Zhou Fang said disappointedly.

"Now is the time when the enemy's strength is at its lowest. What a pity to miss such a good opportunity!"

"Sima is leaving the city?"

"yes!"

"west?"

"Xiangnan! If you try to lure me with bait, you won't expect me to go straight to the camp!"

Zhou Fang looked at Zhou Te blankly, shocked by this bold plan.

"I have been watching the enemy army for many days, but I have lost all my energy. The Qiang people are not good at fighting for a long time. Now I must work hard and take the leader of the enemy to repay the general's kindness!" Zhang Te seemed to have some unique temperament in what he said.

, it’s hard for others not to believe it.

A scholar dies for a confidant!

A wave of warm blood surged up and down in Zhou Fang's chest.

Zhang Te walked to the inside of the city wall and shouted towards the darkness below: "Tonight, you will fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!" roared from the darkness.

Zhou Fang was shocked.

Under the firelight, two thousand soldiers raised their fists.

Zhang Te got off the city wall, mounted his war horse with two thousand soldiers, and said to Zhou Fang: "You can lead a thousand soldiers out of the west city to make a loud noise, go around the north city, and attract the enemy's ambush. If the ambush does not come out, a certain

If they don't come out, if the ambush comes out, then someone will hit their camp with the force of thunder!"

"Take your orders!"

A moment later, the west gate of Linqiang City suddenly opened wide, with bright fires and a roar of people, heading straight towards the battlefield of the Qiang-Hu internal strife.

It looked like a long dragon swimming in the night.

The whole battlefield was shocked.

When in front of Zhang Te, Zhou Fang had no doubts, but after he actually implemented it, he inevitably had a doubt in his heart.

What if the enemy doesn't have an ambush?

What if the enemy attacks Linqiang City first?

What if the enemy bites you to death?

…

But now that the matter has come to this, Zhou Fang has fulfilled his duties as a subordinate very well and obeyed orders.

A thousand young men shouted desperately, each holding two torches.

Less than two miles out of the city, thousands of troops and horses suddenly emerged from the darkness in the south. A Qiang general looked up to the sky and howled: "Wei thieves fell into the trap of my king!"

The unique howl of the Qiang people shook the mountains and fields.

Like a pack of wolves running.

Zhou Fang was stunned for a moment, his admiration was beyond words. Looking back at Linqiang City, he looked like a giant beast dormant in the wilderness at night.
