Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 1931: Huang Chao's killing, Meng Tian's attack on the heart, the noble family's forcing the emperor to abdicate
"Your Majesty, according to my observation today, the five families of Wang, Li, Zhao, etc. may have some ulterior motives!"

On the way back to the palace, Huang Chao walked up to Huangfu Guhan and spoke in a low voice.

"I know, my dear minister, please keep a close eye on these companies!" Huangfu Guhan nodded.

He roared like that on the city wall just to observe the reactions of his ministers.

At that time, not only Chen Qun and Huang Chao were observing the many court officials while shouting, but Huangfu Guhan was also observing the many court officials.

"But please rest assured, Your Majesty. As long as I am here, any rebels will be killed!" Huang Chao assured in a firm tone.

In the history of Blue Star, Huang Chao's existence is not only the buryer of a dynasty, but his life experience has shaped him into a demon.

However, with different experiences, the future paths will naturally be completely different.

In the history of Blue Star, he was a failed candidate in the imperial examination, a failed candidate who wanted to join the bureaucratic class but failed.

But it is different in Tianqi. Although he was born in a commoner family, he was appreciated by Huangfu Guhan. Now, his status in the Dongcang court is among the top ones.

Huangfu Guhan's kindness in recognizing his talent may not necessarily make him completely devoted to him, but his loyalty is definitely above the passing level.

………………

"General Meng, our army is in high spirits. Shouldn't we take this opportunity to attack the city?" Deng Jiugong asked doubtfully outside Lin'an City.

"Not urgent!"

"Judging from the news from Luowang in the past few days, it won't be that easy for Yang Su to come back!"

"Our army still has some time!" Meng Tian looked at the tall city wall in front of him and said thoughtfully.

With Yang Su's military talent, if he wanted to leave, it would be difficult for Han Xin to keep him. After all, Yang Su was also a top military strategist, and the troops under his command were not much less than those under Han Xin.

However, facing an enemy like Han Xin, Yang Su needed enough time to create opportunities if he wanted to escape unscathed. He couldn't just leave whenever he wanted. While leaving, he had to make sure that Han Xin wouldn't catch him, so this took time.

"What's more, our army has already been invincible!" Meng Tian smiled again.

It is impossible to pull all of Yang Su's 100,000 troops here! Unless they don't want their Zhushan front anymore.

Therefore, even if the enemy's reinforcements really arrived, the worst result would be that Meng Tian would not be able to capture Lin'an.

However, if Yang Su returned to Lin'an with less than a certain number of troops, it would not be enough. But if more troops were withdrawn, the defense of the Zhushan front would be a problem! How long could they resist Han Xin?

Therefore, in this battle, the final victory is still in the hands of the Han people, it just depends on how they will win.

"Having said that, it is still better for us to capture Lin'an City!" Deng Jiugong said with a slight change of expression.

This is the truth!
But if Han Xin arrived, the credit for destroying the country would probably fall into the hands of the enemy!
"Don't worry, General Deng!"

"This city will not be peaceful for long!" Meng Tian comforted Deng Jiugong.

Of course he couldn't let others take over the credit for destroying the country!
He was not in a hurry to fight, he was just waiting for the other party to cause trouble.

Attacking the heart is better than attacking the city!
What he did today will more or less shake the humanity of some people in the city. Even if no one has any problems, will the people who miss you think that there are problems with other people around them? Especially those who are extremely suspicious!

Unfortunately, suspicion is naturally high among humans as a group.

The more he didn't move at this time, the more some people would feel that he was sure to win, and the more they would suspect that Meng Tian thought he had a trump card behind me! Naturally, he would suspect other people around him, but it was just a matter of more or less!

Not to mention, even if the enemy's reinforcements arrived, Meng Tian would still not be afraid. It's just that he was not confident enough to capture Lin'an before Han Xin arrived.

After all, that was Han Xin!

Meng Tian could not guarantee how long Han Xin could be stopped if the troops of the Zhushan defense line were dispersed, especially if Yang Su, a famous general, was likely to leave!

If Han Xin came to kill him in a short time, the credit for destroying the country would really be gone from him. Therefore, for a general, the safest and most reliable strategy he could think of was actually the one that would most likely make him lose this credit.

Furthermore, Meng Tian knew very well that those people in Lin'an would not remain calm either. He had just entered the plain when he sent a message to tell them what to do, so they should also take action at this time.

As the capital of Dongcang, this kind of place has always been a place where organizations like Luowang have invested heavily. Generally, Luowang will send important people to station in places like this.

Yes, just as Meng Tian expected, in such an important place, there must be important people in Luowang. And the person in charge of Luowang in Lin'an City was Shi Guanyin, the governor of the capital.

In the Luowang system, Zhao Gao, as the highest person in charge of Luowang, served as the commander-in-chief, ranked third grade, and was in charge of all Luowang affairs.

Mu Dao Ren, who controls the killing of heaven and earth, and Chen Pingping, who controls ghosts and monsters, were given the position of deputy commanders to assist the commander Zhao Gao.

After this, in each of the seven dynasties and the four barbarians, a general manager was appointed as the pacification envoy, who was ranked fourth and was in charge of the affairs of their corresponding places.

Under each pacification envoy, there are two deputy pacification envoys, one to control the heavenly killers and the other to control the evil spirits.

Below the pacification envoy is the level of the chief pacification envoy and the capital pacification envoy. In the Han Dynasty, the former is ranked fifth rank, and the latter is junior fifth rank.

Luowang, according to their different division of labor, is divided into the organizational structure of Tianshadijue, Chimeiwangliang, and the general Fushi can control all the Tianshadijue, or Chimeiwangliang within his command. Or they themselves are Tianshadijue, or a member of Chimeiwangliang.

As for the Dufushi, their power is smaller and they can only command the corresponding part within their jurisdiction. For example, Shi Guanyin herself is a spirit among the demons and monsters, so as a Dufushi, she can also be in charge of all the spirits within her jurisdiction.

However, ghosts and monsters are mainly responsible for intelligence, and although the ghosts are not like the ghosts, they are mainly undercover officials at the level of various countries, who can obtain a large amount of high-level intelligence. They are actors, musicians, craftsmen, and civilians with uncertain identities. As the most basic ears and eyes, they have always been numerous and powerful.

Therefore, although Shi Guanyin lacked those important chess pieces that could make the final decision, her manpower was widely distributed, and most of the noble families had people under her.

However, they were all of low status, even just servants, so it was difficult for them to play any practical role. But this time, Shi Guanyin took the initiative to act, and she didn't need to reveal any flaws to attract Huang Chao's attention.

Huangfu Guhan has been on his own for twenty or thirty years, so he naturally has no shortage of spies and minions around him.

Although his investment in this area is far less than that of Wang Yu, Wang Yu has invested more, but he has invested in the seven dynasties and even the four barbarians as a whole, but Huangfu Guhan only targets one Da Cang.

Not to mention, they are now inside the enemy's lair. It would be strange if the enemy couldn't catch their tail at all!

Previously, they had kept the web spiders they had found and had not taken action. The reason was that these people were too low-level. Even if they were caught, it would be useless. It would be better to keep them. After all, exposed spies were no different from dead people!

However, since Shi Guanyin had mobilized these people and taken the initiative to contact some of the aristocratic families in the city, it was natural and inevitable that the actions of some of them would fall into Huang Chao's eyes and ears.

Huang Chao himself also had an extraordinary intelligence. It was not the case that he was completely unaware of the problem.

However, he noticed it, but he didn't care.

Firstly, now that the enemy is at the gates, he has no time to sort out which of these people have truly betrayed Dongcang, and which ones are just smokescreens thrown by the other side!
Secondly, many of these people were the key targets discovered by him and Chen Qun during the day, and they were the key points that everyone needed to be on guard against.

Thirdly, as a grassroots figure who was born and raised in the lower class, Huang Chao himself was hostile to these aristocratic families.

Huangfu Guhan was indeed kind to him and gave him a stage and opportunity to show his talents. However, in Dongcang, where the aristocratic families were the dominant force, he had always been regarded as an outlier as he rose from the grassroots and was often suppressed by his colleagues.

After all, in the entire Dongcang government, there are very few people like him who have risen from the grassroots, and there are simply not many of them.

He was the only one who had made it to this point in Dongcang. The others, like Yang Su and Chen Qun, were all representatives of great families.
Especially Yang Su, who is one of the six great families!

Even if it was the demon Taoist Wen Ren Ruohai, his birth in Daqian was not so prominent, but it was definitely not low. His senior brother Chu Yixiao was the national teacher of Daqian, so how bad could his family background be?

Due to all these reasons, Huang Chao's character was cruel and ruthless, so eight noble families including Wang, Du, Zhao were massacred overnight, and he did it without reporting to the emperor later?
Especially the Wang family, the entire family was killed, leaving no one alive.

After all, if you really think about it, the Lin'an Wang family and the Yanbei Wang family are also one family, but this lineage has been separated for more than two hundred years, and no one knows how far this bloodline has disappeared.

As a result, early the next morning, people who wanted to impeach Huang Chao were everywhere. Hundreds of people gathered outside Huangfu Guhan's palace early in the morning.

"Is there any movement from Minister Yang?" Huangfu Guhan did not pay attention to the people waiting outside the palace, but asked Chen Qun beside him.

The Minister Yang he was talking about was none other than the Minister of Personnel Yang Ti, who was from the Qingbei Yang family, one of the six great families in Da Cang.

In the Dongcang court, the Yang family not only had a famous general like Yang Su who had great prestige in the army, but also a Yang Ti who served as the head of the six ministries.

It can be seen that the Yang family is very powerful in the Dongcang court.

“No!”

"Those people outside the palace went to visit Minister Yang this morning, but were directly rejected by him!" Chen Qun answered decisively.

After hearing Chen Qun's answer, Huangfu Guhan simply stopped taking those people outside to heart. He only made a symbolic verbal statement about Huang Chao and fined him a few years' salary.

At this time, the best way to solve the problem would be to push Huang Chao out to take the blame.

However, allowing the power of the aristocratic families to dominate in Dongcang was a helpless move for Huangfu Guhan at the time. After all, at that time, it was indeed the fastest way for him to quickly expand his power.

However, that does not mean he was willing to do so. Therefore, he kept promoting Huang Chao, hoping that he could become a chess piece to check and balance him, or even a knife in the future.

Besides, Huang Chao was also the disciple of Zhang Churang, the most powerful general in Dongcang. Zhang Churang's outstanding performance on the battlefield made Huangfu Guhan pay more attention to him.

Huangfu Guhan knew Zhang Churang very well. Although he was loyal to Dongcang to a certain extent, his loyalty was limited.

The reason why he is wholeheartedly helping Dongcang to fight is that, firstly, this big man has killed his son.

Secondly, it was because he had a disciple and a son, both of whom were now in Dongcang, and these two concerns tied him down.

"Although what Minister Huang did last night was inappropriate, it was indeed a wise move!"

Chen Qun also didn't care about those people outside, they were just some small characters. No one who really needed their attention jumped out. Especially Yang Ti, if this person didn't show up, then they didn't need to compromise on this matter.

Chen Qun, who always defended the interests of the aristocratic families, instinctively hated Huang Chao's actions last night. Chen Qun even had no good feelings towards Huang Chao as a person.

However, it must be said that, putting aside their hatred for Huang Chao, Chen Qun and even Huangfu Guhan had to say that it was a good killing.

First of all, it directly eliminated some of their hidden dangers.

Secondly, like Meng Tian, ​​this is also a deterrent. It also tells them that betrayal is okay, but the consequences of failure are also heavy!
Of course, there are hidden dangers as well!
Such wanton killing will inevitably create a rift with those aristocratic families.

Perhaps, this is what the enemy wants to see most!

"But, my lord, the food and grass in the city can only last less than a month!" When Chen Qun said this, his face was full of bitterness.

All the food and fodder for the army was transported to the front line. After all, in their current situation, it was very difficult to maintain the food and fodder supply to the front line, and it could not be effectively maintained for a long time.

There was even a food shortage in the capital.

Moreover, it was less than a month, and this was all calculated by Chen Qun according to the minimum supply ratio. For example, the food and grass in the city were fully used to support the military, and as for the people in the city, they were just given some porridge to keep them alive.

If not, with the food and grass in their city, they might not be able to supply them for even half a month, let alone less than a month.

"My Lord, at this point, I think I have guessed why the Han army sent these noble families here?"

Thinking about their food and grass situation, Chen Qun showed a look of sudden enlightenment.
