The fire in Luoyang seemed to be the most heart-wrenching worry in Yang Kuang's eyes in the distance. He could no longer wait. The soldiers had been resting for a long time, so he decided to attack in advance.

So he immediately summoned Nie Chenxi and Zhang Yizhi to discuss the matter. Even if he wanted to go ahead, he could not do anything arbitrary.

"I want to send troops in advance, what do you think?" Yang Kuang asked with a nervous attitude. He also understood that in advance would disrupt many plans and had a premonition that they would resist this idea.

But the result was not as difficult as he thought. Instead, the two nodded without any objection. Yang Kuang thought they hadn't heard it clearly and asked, "Don't you advise me to think more?"

Nie Chenxi shook his head and said, "The reason why the last general agreed is that the time is ripe and it will not take long before dawn. At this time, the attack is not harmful. Furthermore, the Yanzhou army has reached it, and they should be able to attract the attention of the defenders. If the defenders still have no movement during this period, then it will be the same no matter how long we wait."

"The subordinates and Commander Nie have the same opinion. The lord let go. Yang Hu sets a big fire, which means that he may have great movements and proves that there are still people in Luoyang City resisting. He cannot know that we are nearby, and rule out the possibility of playing for us." Zhang Yizhi's analysis has always been clear and reasonable.

Yang Kuang then calmed down and finally something that satisfies him. Yes, Yang Hu set fire in the city, so there must be something to deal with. The direction should be the palace, which is also what he is worried about. If there are people he cares about in the palace, he must do his best to rescue them.

"Wait a minute, how did you know that the Yanzhou army has arrived?"

"Lord, don't blame me. A Gu Yin person came to Yanzhou. He had just arrived and had not had time to report to him." Zhang Yizhi said as he waved to the back, and then saw Yinhu coming up with someone.

The man was like Tiexu. Yang Kuang, who was once defeated by the wildfire in Luoyang, basically believed in the arrival of the Yanzhou army when he saw him, because Tiexu still had a good status in Gu Yin's side, and his arrival was also an expression of sincerity.

"See Your Highness Wucheng!"

"No need to be polite," Yang Kuang waved his hand, "Tell me how much the Yanzhou army has dispatched and what are we doing now?"

Yang Kuang's words seemed a little panicked, Tiexuo replied without any hesitation: "The Lord Mu of Yanzhou personally led 20,000 Yanzhou troops to the city of Luoyang. He is now attracting the attention of the defenders and has successfully led 10,000 defenders out of the city to investigate."

“How is the situation?”

"As expected, some of the defenders were drawn out, about tens of thousands, and there were still 20,000 still on the city wall. As expected, Lord Mu of Yanzhou was leading the army to lure the enemy into the depths."

Yang Kuang nodded, good news came again. Sure enough, with the help of the Yanzhou army, he felt much easier, but there were still less than 20,000 defenders still guarding the city wall. This was still a big trouble. How can we break through the city gate as quickly as possible?

"General, now we don't have time to plan a siege. Let's attack the city wall at night according to the original method." Nie Chenxi suggested, "The remaining 20,000 defenders cannot be concentrated in one city gate. Luoyang has three city gates east and west, and we will attack from the weakest city gates and take advantage of the night to raid. The probability of success will be high."

The defenders naturally would not be concentrated in one place, which is also the best and safest way at present. Without further ado, Yang Kuang immediately ordered all the soldiers who were sleeping and ordered the officers to restore them to their awakeness and best state as quickly as possible, and prepare to attack Luoyang City at night.

After giving the order, he did not forget to look back at the fire in the city. The fire undoubtedly burned to his heart. There had been no chaos in the imperial city for many years, and he did not know the safety of his father and others. He was worried from the bottom of his heart, worried about those who he cared about.

Zhang Yizhi also looked at the fire, and seemed to see a melee in his eyes, murmured: "In a few years, this is Guangyang, I will put down a bigger fire."

Yang Kuang frowned and looked at him. Zhang Yizhi bowed and said, "Lord, forgive me, my subordinates have lost their words."

"I didn't mean that." Yang Kuang had a slight fearful thought just now. He saw Zhang Yizhi's violent indifference. He just said in person that he would set fire to Guangyang, asking him not to care, "Forget it, you go and prepare too, I have something to say to Tiexuo."

"As for your order, lord." Zhang Yizhi answered lightly and stepped down.

The iron lock left behind was a little at a loss. He thought that after reporting to Yang Kuang, he would let him go back to help the battle, but he did not expect to keep him.

"Iron Suo, we are always in love, and we are not more concerned about the past grudges. I will ask you again. Have you heard of the news about Luoyang City?" Yang Kuang turned his back to Tiexu and asked more profoundly.

"Your Highness has said it, how dare you be resentful?" Tiesuo was sweating profusely. Even though Gu Yin had never said he wanted to keep Yang Kuang secret, he was a little hesitant.

Yinhu couldn't stand this kind of expression that he wanted to speak but stopped the most, and said at the top of his voice: "You are still not a man. If you can say it, you can say it directly. If you can't say it, you are so squeamish that you are like a woman, just disgusting."

Tiexu glared at Yinhu, noticed Yang Kuang's back move, and immediately shivered like a frightened rabbit. He replied without hesitation: "I'm just heard that I've heard that I've been brave enough to ask Your Highness not to blame him."

"Say it, I forgive you for not guilty."

"I heard that Your Majesty has... passed away."

The back in front of him moved again, Tiexu's heartbeat so fast that he could even listen to it himself

I knew it clearly, my legs were shaking tightly, and I didn't dare to breathe.

"Okay, I understand, you can leave." Yang Kuang's cold voice came slowly, Tiexu was as if he had received amnesty and quickly retreated, while Yinhu on the side looked at Yang Kuang in shock: "Master..."

"You retreat, too."

"Yes." Yinhu's eyes were full of worry, but he had to obey the order and left, so he could only look reluctantly and turn around and leave.

Yang Kuang, who was standing alone on the high ground, collapsed a lot in an instant. He finally couldn't help but sit on the ground, unable to speak for a long time, without tears, expression, and only the heaviness in his heart.

What happened to his father? Did he die as rumored, or was he still alive? It was related to his father, how could Yang Kuang not care? He was so concerned about Tiesuo that he knew about his father's illness. He also knew that the sequelae left behind by the war eleven years ago had always troubled his father.

Will the chaos in Luoyang be related to his father? Yang Kuang still remembers that he did not forgive him every time he faced his father, but he had already let go of his mother's affairs. When it was a real critical moment, he didn't know whether he was worried or something else.

He was extremely complicated but extremely uncomfortable. He couldn't cry. He used to hate the boy who could only cry, but now he wanted to become that boy. At that time, he knew how to cry, but now? How do you cry?

Eleven years ago, he hid all his emotions, no matter his family, love and friendship, they were all shrouded in his heart, and even his instincts were wiped out. Along the way, how many people died and how many people benefited. His original purpose was to protect, but who did he protect now?

His father was also the one he wanted to protect, but after hearing such rumors, he began to question his abilities.

If you want to walk on the path of the emperor, you must not have any concerns.

Chen Long's words seemed to be still echoing in his ears, and his thoughts returned to the fire in front of him again. Why did he reach this point today? It was to have the strength to protect everything he wanted to protect, including the whole world. Even if Yang Hu was standing in front of him, he would do his best.

King Wucheng and the general of the Northern Polu were not him. His name was Yang Kuang, who was a real man with the heart of the world. He stood up and held the wheel-turning sword at his waist tightly. The sword given to him by his father was his determination, representing the foundation and hope of the Da Shang Dynasty, and all he had given to him.

......

......

Cui Wen passed the secret passage in the palace and successfully lurked to the defenders. He held the forged military talisman in his hand, which was almost real, but it did not mean that he could just hold the military talisman. The soldiers followed the dispatch of the officers, and the officers followed the commander of the side generals, and the side generals followed the generals. Only by finding the generals here and cooperating with the reasonable arguments can one achieve success.

There is only one chance. Once the judgment is wrong or the omissions are apart, all the previous efforts will be wasted. Cui Wen held the military talisman tightly and remembered the picture of the old tutor handing it to him at that time. It was still clear and profound and indelible.

The old tutor may not have been defended by Yang Hu, but it may have been prepared for Yang Kuang, but it is not important now. Yang Hu has become the leader of the rebel army and endangered the country of the Da Shang Dynasty. This is completely in line with the original intention of the old tutor.

It is hard to believe that such a prestigious person would forge military talismans during his lifetime. This is just a surprise. Perhaps the old tutor's intention was to surprise him, so this forged military talisman should be used in extremely critical moments.

If it is handed over to him, Cui Wen, it must not be wasted easily, so his eyes carefully scanned the defenders' camp, looking for the tent of the highest general, and preparing to sneak in.

The reason for infiltration is because if he goes in openly, there may be Yang Hu's people monitoring him. The Anxiang Pavilion's intelligence network also perfectly covers every corner of the city. Once he is discovered, he will not even have the chance to speak.

Cui Yunyi finally found the camp that suited the temperament of a general, and sneaked over it. It was a bit funny to say that he, who was once the right prime minister, would do such a miserable thing, but Cui Wen had already given up his figure. For the sake of the Da Shang Dynasty, what is this?

He came outside the camp and walked in with a sharp bullet. The candlelight inside was bright, and two generals were discussing something on the sand table. When he saw the uninvited guest who suddenly broke in, he was stunned.

Before they could react, Cui Wen took out the forged military talisman and held it in front of them and said, "The military orders of the King of Jiujiang, you all must obey the orders of our officials."

The two generals were still in shock. Finally, one of them took the lead and took the military talisman and checked it carefully. After repeatedly confirming, they identified the authenticity of the military talisman. They nodded at the other general, indicating that the military talisman was real.

Another general came to his senses and said, "Who are you? Why have I never seen you?"

"Hmm? You seem to be that... you are Cui Wen!" the general exclaimed.

There are always people who recognize him in the Luoyang defenders, and Cui Wen simply said frankly: "That's right, this official is Cui Wen, and he has joined the prince's command."

He has considered this statement for a long time, and it is reasonable to surrender to Yang Hu as a criminal. Now basically, the rebels know that the enemy is Yang Kuang, and the Cui family group is Yang Kuang's enemy, so this excuse is very good.

The two generals did not have any suspicion. After all, it was reasonable and there were military talismans as evidence. They must have no objection, so they all lowered their heads and said, "The last general will obey the orders of the Lord."

Cui Wen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he was successful. It was really hard to go through the dangerous chess.

It was exciting, and I couldn't help but think of the dangerous chess that Yang Kuang used to play against them, and for some reason I had the urge to laugh.

At this time, another emergencies also broke in. When a messenger saw the strange Cui Wen, he was a little confused about whether he should speak.

"Tell me, this is the prince's man." The general has now believed Cui Wen without any doubt and put down all his guards.

After hearing this, the soldiers quickly reported: "A army came from outside the city and was rushing towards the south gate of our army at full speed!"

"Aren't Yanzhou troops all on the Ximen side? Why did another army come to the south?"

"The subordinates couldn't see their flags clearly, and they could only see dense figures."

When the general was confused and worried, Cui Wen discovered an opportunity from it. The Yanzhou army must be Yang Hu's enemy. At this time, another army came, which must be Yang Hu's enemy. Then the enemy's enemy is an ally. No matter what, he must try to put this army into the city.

So just when the two generals were upset, he said, "The two generals need not panic. I came for this matter. In order to deal with the Yanzhou army, the prince specially transferred reinforcements from other states. I came to open the city gate and let them in with the military talisman."

"Well? Take this seriously? Why has the general never listened to the prince's order?"

"Yes, I haven't heard of it."

Both generals expressed doubts about this, and Cui Wen also thought of a remark: "The incident happened urgently. Although there were few Yanzhou troops, the prince was still worried that they had extraordinary combat power. If they dared to kill with 20,000 people, they would definitely have confidence. To be on the safe side, the prince could only urgently dispatch reinforcements."

"So that's it." The two generals were also confused, but since they believed Cui Wen, the rest would not be suspicious, so they ordered the soldiers to open the city gate and welcome the troops according to Cui Wen's request.

Cui Wen was nervous, hoping that this group of troops could turn the tide. After all, the situation in the palace is now in a hurry.

......

......

Zhang Zhiyan rode a horse in the night and was about to arrive in Luoyang. She walked along the way and found no trace of Yang Kuang, nor did she know what the situation was. But her intuition told her that she would definitely see Yang Kuang when she went to Luoyang. She knew the man she loved. He would never slow down the speed at all, and would definitely do her best to come to Luoyang.

So she followed this pace and came here. On the way, she saw the fire in Luoyang from afar and felt even more anxious. This kind of fire must have caught fire in the city, but after that, she found that the fire was dimmed until she could no longer see it.

The strange situation and the brighter sky made her heart feel more and more uneasy. Yang Kuang must be here, and she believed it without a doubt.

Just as she was about to speed up, a person suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her way, causing her to clench her fists nervously and become alert.

"The little girl is riding so fast, she is going to Luoyang." A thick voice said, and a middle-aged man slowly walked to Zhang Zhiyan's horse that stopped and looked at her and said, "Luoyang is not peaceful, you'd better not go."

"Who are you?"

"I'm going to go to Hong Zhi." Unexpectedly, the person who suddenly appeared on the road was Hong Zhi, who disappeared since the fire in Yongcheng.

"I have to go over, what do you want to do?"

"The little girl's words are full of hostility. Don't be so obvious, it's not good for you." Hong Zhi smiled and said, "I just advised you not to go, and I didn't want to stop you. If you insist on going, then I'll give me a message to the person you are looking for."

Zhang Zhiyan frowned and said, "Why should I help you, a person with unknown origin?"

"Isn't it a fate that I met on the night road? I'm not waiting for you specifically. Can I still guess your route?" Hong Zhi still smiled and said, "But I happen to recognize you again. You are Yang Kuang's junior sister, right?"

"What are your intentions?" Zhang Zhiyan, who was exposed to her identity, was extremely alert and did not dare to relax at all.

Hong Zhi said with a headache: "I really have no malice. I am not your opponent, I just ask you to tell me why I have to take action."

Zhang Zhiyan was still hostile, and Hong Zhi had no choice but to say a long story: "What happened in Luoyang City has nothing to do with me, but Yang Hu and Yang Kuang are both related to it. Please bring a word to your senior brother, just one sentence, is it okay? Are you still afraid that my words will harm others?"

Zhang Zhiyan was embarrassed by this explanation and agreed helplessly: "Okay, I'll tell you something, hurry up, I have something to do... Wait a minute! How did you know that my senior brother will be in Luoyang City?!" The other party actually knew something that she didn't even know.

Hong Zhi then put away his smile and said solemnly: "This is not something you should care about. Remember what I said and tell Yang Kuang that he will not kill Yang Hu. He has a great effect. Please be sure to believe it."

Zhang Zhiyan remembered it clearly without missing a word and wanted to leave, but in the end she was stopped by Hong Zhi. She said impatiently: "So what's wrong?"

"Girl, the place you are going is no longer the place you know, and the person you are looking for is not that person anymore. You should take care of yourself." After saying that, Hong Zhi left silently without waiting for the other party to be impatient, leaving Zhang Zhiyan with a confused look on his face.
