5-66 Birds are not exhausted, they hide their bows
The generals of the Ever Victorious Army were stunned by this sudden news. They looked at each other and didn't know what to do. Originally, they were relying on their military merits and being arrogant to everyone. But now they were all blinded and could only watch helplessly as the imperial guards came down and kidnapped Lan Yu away.
A fierce light flashed in Lan Xiaolong's eyes, and his hand quietly reached for the handle of the knife, but was stopped by Lan Yu's sharp eyes. He had to retract his hand angrily, and Lan Yu said in a deep voice: "No matter what happens, remember you guys."
He is a military attache of the Great Zhou Dynasty and a member of the Ever-Victorious Army. He must never do anything that is treasonous and unethical. I will go to face the Holy Spirit to fight for my innocence for myself and for you."
The imperial guards had already arrived, shaking off the rope and about to tie up Lan Yu's five-flowered flower. Lan Yu proudly said: "No need to tie him up." The soldiers looked back at Cao Shaoqin on the wall. The latter nodded slightly, and the soldiers just picked the blue flowers.
Jade's sword, take it away.
The generals watched Lan Shuai leave and suddenly felt that they had lost their backbone. Fortunately, Lan Xiaolong was a responsible man. He shouted loudly: "Open the city gate, we have to return to the camp."
Someone on the city wall replied: "You don't have to go back. Let's go to the barracks to rest until the matter is found out."
Everyone had no choice but to be escorted down to the barracks by the Royal Forest Army. At this time, their mood dropped drastically compared to when they first entered the city. They fell from the sky thousands of miles away into the ice cave.
The emperor considered himself a master at knowing and employing people, and he had always trusted Lan Yu. Even though intelligence from the internal factory showed that Lan Yu seemed to have some secret connections with the Han army, he still chose to trust him.
Since his personal expedition, what he has seen and heard has gradually made the emperor wary of Lan Yu, not because he is disloyal, but because he has a vague intention of shocking the master with his great achievements. The emperor knows very well.
In these turbulent years, having troops in hand is the last word. It is too easy for a general like Lan Yu to separatist power.
The emperor wanted to remove Lan Yu's military power immediately, but he was afraid that changing generals before the battle would be detrimental to the war situation, so he kept holding back. Fortunately, everything went well, and the rebel army collapsed under the heavy pressure of the imperial army and withdrew from the Central Plains.
, future wars will be mainly small-scale cleansing, and there will be no large-scale battles. In this case, Sapphire will no longer be needed.
Therefore, the emperor chose to seize Lan Yu's military power at this time, and also ousted all his trusted generals. Originally, the matter would have ended here, but the sudden change made the emperor suddenly make up his mind to arrest Lan Yu immediately.
This is because when the scouts of the Royal Forest Army were patrolling outside Luoyang City, they actually discovered a large group of elite Han troops with well-equipped weapons and horses. They did not look like defeated troops. Moreover, they were present from all directions. Luoyang City had been surrounded by them!
The emperor was so horrified that he actually dived into the pocket array. The first thing he thought of was that Lan Yu had set up a trap for him to get in. This Lan Yu seemed to be loyal, but in fact he was ambitious. He had really misjudged him before!
All kinds of strange things from the past came to mind, including the death of King Chu and the myth that the Han army would be defeated in every encounter, which made the emperor increasingly believe that Lan Yu was involved with the rebels.
Humph, it’s not that simple to deal with me. The emperor sneered and issued a series of instructions...
In front of the palace hall, Lan Yu was kneeling proudly, his face unchanged. He wanted to meet the emperor to clarify his grievances, but he had knelt for an hour and had not been summoned by the emperor. How did the loyal veteran know that the emperor had already sentenced him?
death penalty.
There were footsteps behind him, accompanied by heavy breathing, and suddenly Lan Yu felt a murderous aura approaching. He subconsciously turned his shoulder, and a hard wooden stick hit his shoulder, which made him grit his teeth in pain.
, and then another wooden stick came out from the diagonal thorn, the speed was extremely fast, and the angle was tricky. Although Lan Yu was a warrior, he was the kind of general on horseback who could fire a hard bow and make long swords. This kind of close combat was not good.
He was far away, and the person who attacked him was a strong martial artist, so there was no reason why he wouldn't be attacked.
Lan Yu's ribs were hit, his body tilted, and he was hit with a sap on the head. His whole body fell down softly. When he woke up, he was already in a dark and gloomy dungeon.
The former majestic Secretary of the Ministry of War and the commander-in-chief of the Western Expeditionary Army has now become a prisoner in a state of embarrassment. His shirt has long been stripped off, exposing his naked chest. Several cold-eyed men hold instruments of torture in their hands and boss them around.
Pressing Lan Yu, he asked: "Tell me, what collusion did you have with the bandit army?"
Lan Yu sneered and said nothing. He didn't even bother to talk to these low-level fans. The fans were irritated. One of them stepped forward and said: "We have dealt with many officials who are bigger than you in the capital. If you can tell the truth,
, it’s convenient for us all, if you persist in insisting on it and waste your time, don’t blame the fire chopsticks in my hand for not recognizing anyone.”
Lan Yu laughed loudly: "Come on, Lan has dozens of scars on his body, all of which were left by working hard for the emperor, so he is no worse than you guys."
When the gangsters saw that Lan Yu was indeed covered with wounds, they exchanged glances with each other and concluded that Lan Yu was a tough guy and could not say anything without severe punishment.
"Okay, I'll grant you this!" Fanzi pulled out the red-hot chopsticks from the stove and poked Lan Yu's chest. Suddenly, the smell of burnt flesh filled the dungeon.
After more than a dozen rounds of torture, Lan Yu still didn't spit out his words. The old general was already dying, but still held his unyielding head high.
The fans ran out of tricks, and several heads gathered together to murmur.
"What should we do? The old guy is so tough. If we still can't get a confession, how can we report it to Eunuch Cao?"
"That's right, the old guy doesn't have enough money and salt, and severe punishment won't do anything at all. We don't have his wife or children to threaten him, so there's really nothing we can do for a while."
"Then what should we do? If we don't confess until dawn, we will be punished."
Several people were at a loss, and suddenly someone whispered: "I have an idea, but is it possible?"
Everyone quickly asked, and the man said: "I think the emperor and Eunuch Cao just want Lan Yu to die. The confession is just an excuse. Lan Yu doesn't want to recruit, so let's help him..."
In this way, several people agreed, found paper and pen, and wrote a few hundred words eloquently. They were not good at other things in the inner factory, but they were experts at extracting confessions through torture and fabricating crimes.
Just make up what the emperor wanted, collude with the Han army, intend to rebel, embezzle military pay, act arbitrarily, you can write a lot of them casually.
After the confession was written, someone came up behind Lan Yu and knocked him unconscious with another sap. The others grabbed his hand, which had been pinched to pieces with bamboo sticks, and put a blood-red fingerprint on the confession.
The confession was handed over to Cao Shaoqin overnight. Eunuch Cao was overjoyed. He eradicated Lan Yu and strengthened his position. As for the Han troops outside the city, he was not worried at all. There were many soldiers in the imperial court. How could he be afraid of these bandits?
What.
…
Fifty miles outside Luoyang City, there is a Han army camp.
In these days, the Han army was running around under the leadership of Yuan Feng, avoiding the Zhou army's search, luring the enemy deeper, and deliberately creating discord between the enemy's monarch and his ministers. The grand strategy was formulated by Liu Ying'er, but the specific tactics
The implementation was carried out by Yuan Feng.
In order to perform this great drama, the Han troops suffered a lot of grievances, especially the Qiang troops and the Xixia Iron Kites. Every one of them was exhausted. Watching the enemy swaggering and rampaging, not only could they not fight happily, but they also deliberately made
He was fleeing, carefully avoiding the detection of the other party's scouts.
Fortunately, the Han army had a good mass base, a high ratio of mules and horses, and solid physical training of the soldiers. Therefore, after running for more than a month, no flaws were revealed.
Now that the Emperor of Zhou has arrived in Luoyang, everything is ready and all he needs is the east wind. Liu Ying'er said that as soon as the Han army appears, the emperor will chop off Lan Yu's head. This bet will soon come to an end.
Okay, how can I not make Hermione excited?
The Han army has been operating in Henan for a long time, and with the great assistance of the beggar gang, meticulous work has penetrated into every corner. The beggars are so pervasive that any maneuvers of the Zhou army cannot be hidden from their eyes. The reason why the Han army is so capable
It went so perfectly, according to the latest intelligence, the emperor gave Lan Yu's men the honorary title of the Western Expeditionary Army, and also praised Lan Yu. It seemed that Liu Ying'er was going to lose the bet this time.
But Liu Ying'er didn't take it seriously at all. She still discussed the formation of troops with Yuan Feng in the commander's tent every day. It really felt like strategizing, which made Hermione and Li Mingxue a little uncomfortable, but there was no way, they could only compete secretly.
, to see who has greater ability and can help Yuan Feng more.
…
The camp of the Ever Victorious Army was in panic everywhere. The Han army suddenly appeared and the soldiers were pressing down. But their commanders and generals were not in the camp. There were only a group of deputy generals. Commander Qian was chirping and refused to obey anyone. The officers of the Central Military Commission sent
Several groups of people went to Luoyang to invite the commander back, but they all left and never returned.
Suddenly, a group of people came outside the camp, under the banner of the Royal Forest Army. After entering the camp, the imperial edict was read out, and the troops were in an uproar. It turned out that the emperor had already stripped Commander Lan of his military power, and even the generals had also been parachuted in.
A group of generals from the Royal Forest Army system took over the victorious army.
A fire broke out in the military camp. The commander and general were suddenly changed, and a group of people without qualifications and prestige were promoted to the post. How to convince the soldiers? It would be fine in normal times, but the Western Expeditionary Army has been fighting for half a year.
His temper became more and more wild, and he suddenly started to make trouble...
…
At midnight, in a military camp in Luoyang City, the generals of the Ever Victorious Army were tossing and turning in their respective rooms, unable to sleep. Originally, they were not so convinced of Lan Yu, but in the past six months, Commander Lan has clearly distinguished rewards and punishments, and has used his troops like a god.
With prestige in mind, if people who serve the country so loyally are framed and unjustly accused, then there is really no hope for the Zhou Dynasty.
Lan Xiaolong had a problem with constipation. He squatted in the toilet for a long time at night, struggling with his large intestine and thinking about what happened today. Suddenly, a loud noise alarmed him. He hurriedly lifted up his pants and lay down on the toilet.
Looking over the wall.
The barracks where the Chang Sheng Army lived had been surrounded by people. The torches were bright and the swords and guns were dazzling. The colleagues who were not even wearing clothes were cursing and being escorted out. They were lined up outside the barracks and forced to the ground.
A soldier stood behind the man, wiping his sharp steel knife.
Lan Xiaolong only felt something sweet and sour rising up his throat. He watched intently, watching his comrades being beheaded with his own eyes.
Zhang Shicheng, your eighth generation ancestor! Lan Xiaolong cursed fiercely in his heart.
