The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Now that this matter has been decided, Zhang Cheng began to step up his preparations.First of all, Zhuge Jin came forward to win over idle veterans, no matter with money or status, and gathered those veterans who were outside the major families as wings.

Zhang Cheng began to walk among the kings. The best way to win people over was to make a promise. If he made a promise that they could not swear by, the rest of the matter would be much easier.At the same time, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Fen began to mobilize troops towards Jianye. The troops mobilized from various critical points gathered outside Jianye City. There were more and more people.

Of course, the whole family and the Zhu family were not vegetarians either. Judging from Zhang Cheng's posture, he had already guessed that he must be dealing with himself who was their enemy.In order to stabilize the position.They also began to gather soldiers and horses, and those soldiers and horses who were loyal to them also rushed to Jianye.People from the two sides camped against each other, and it seemed that they could fight if something happened.

Naturally, the big movement in Wu country did not escape the eyes of the empire's eyeliner.The matter was quickly reported to Xiangyang, and Long Fei smiled slightly: "What is Zhang Cheng doing? Do you want to fight a civil war or become the emperor yourself?"

Xun Yu shook his head: "Although Zhang Cheng is already a powerful minister of the Wu Kingdom, he has no credit. He only relies on the credit of his ancestors to control the government. If he wants to be emperor, the entire Wu Kingdom will not agree. Zhang Cheng is not so stupid."

"Then the state of Wu is now in a precarious state, maybe he will risk the world!" Jiang Wan said: "When he was in Shatou Town, Sun Liang once recognized His Majesty as his uncle. At that time, I looked at Zhang Cheng. His complexion is not good, and the relationship between powerful ministers and the emperor will never be harmonious."

"In my opinion, Zhang Cheng is not replacing him, it is very likely that Sun Liang will be replaced!" Jia Xu's words made everyone suddenly enlightened.

"En!" Long Fei nodded: "Wen He's words make some sense. If Zhang Chengneng replaces Sun Liang, those who are attached to Sun Liang will have nothing to rely on. There will be no leader among the dragons, and Zhang Chengquan will no longer have the position of a minister." Can be shaken, unless the new emperor poses a threat again."

"If that's the case, what should we do?" Xu Shu asked.

Long Fei looked at Guo Jia, and Guo Jia coughed lightly: "Of course it is rescue! As long as Sun Liang comes to Xiangyang, we will have an excuse to recover Jiangdong. In the past two years, our empire has almost recovered. Taking Wu The country is not difficult!"

"Wen Wei, Bo Yan, what do you two think?" Fei Yi is the left minister of the political affairs department, and Lu Xun is the right minister of the military department. One provides food and grass, and the other is responsible for dispatching troops. If the two think it is feasible, then It's perfectly fine.

Fei Yi was the first to speak: "The empire has had abundant harvests year after year, the people everywhere have ample food and clothing, the treasury is full, and there are good horses outside the Great Wall. The Nanman wells produce a lot of salt, and the tax revenue has a balance of tens of millions. There should be no problem in attacking Wu."

Lu Xun also said: "General Zhang Liao's army has already marched to Lujiang, General Xu Huang is stationed in Shouchun, and naval warships are cruising outside. It will take at most half a year to break through Yecheng!"

"Okay!" Long Fei clapped his hands and applauded: "Now that everything is ready, let's do it!"

The war machine of the Tianlong Empire started again.The newly formed four-wheeled carriage supply battalion and the Yueshui Army supply battalion cooperated with each other to transport large quantities of supplies to Lujiang and Shouchun by water and land.Soldiers and horses from all over the country also began to gather.Grain, grass and ordnance are continuously exported from workshops in various places.The army began to assemble and train in Lujiang and Shouchun.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the rescue of Sun Liang is also on the agenda.Xian Yufu and Wei Yan are the most suitable candidates.They secretly sneaked into the territory of Wu State one by one, and carried out work with the cooperation of the detailed work department.

Regarding all of this, Zhang Cheng was still planning to abolish the establishment. Although Zhang Cheng also received the news, he didn't care about it.Sun Hao had already sent someone to pick him up. In order to hide himself, he temporarily stayed at Zhang Cheng's house and sent someone to protect him closely.

This morning, the atmosphere was particularly depressing.Immediately after Zhang Cheng went to the palace, an old minister, Bu Lu, stood up and said, "Everyone, I have something to ask Your Majesty!"

Sun Liang was taken aback for a moment: "Aiqing, please tell me if you have anything to say, I will listen to you all the time!"

Bu Lu cupped his hands to Sun Liang: "If you dare to ask Your Majesty, is it my Majesty Wu?"

"What does Aiqing mean?" Sun Liang frowned: "I am not the emperor of Wu, what is that?"

Bu Lu nodded: "Since your majesty knew that he was the emperor of the Wu kingdom, when he was in Shatou Town, he even recognized Long Fei as his uncle. Do you have my Wu kingdom in your heart? The Wu kingdom was established by the father and son of the former emperor through three generations. His mouth turned out to be Long Fei's nephew, what is the dignity of my country Wu? What is the face of the former emperor?"

"This...!" Sun Liang was speechless for a moment.

Bu Lu immediately said: "Your Majesty recognizes the thief as an uncle, and makes no distinction between the enemy and us, and puts our country of Wu under Long Fei. I am sorry to my ancestors, and I am sorry to the people. Is your majesty still able to sit in a high position with dignity?"

As soon as Bu Lu said this, those people who didn't know the old etiquette broke out in a cold sweat.Quan Duan immediately stood up and said: "Bold Bu Lu, to talk to His Majesty like this, is it possible that you don't want to live anymore?"

Bu Lu smiled: "Father is unkind, son goes to another country, and ruler is not upright, ministers go to foreign countries. With such a majesty, how can the officials of Wu Kingdom have the face to stand in this hall? This kind of majesty has humiliated the state, and the ministers are ashamed. Now we The country of Wu is precarious, there are powerful enemies outside, and troubles inside, because of villains like you, my country of Wu is in danger, don't you feel shameful to speak nonsense here?"

"You!" Quan Duan was scolded for no reason, and his anger rose immediately: "The old man insulted His Majesty, come on! Pull Bulu out and chop it up!"

The warrior in front of the hall turned his head to look at Zhang Cheng, Zhang Cheng was sitting upright, as if he had nothing to do with himself.The warriors in front of the hall did not dare to move.Quan Duan immediately understood that if Bu Lu dared to say such a thing in front of the emperor, there must be someone behind him to back him up, not to mention Zhang Cheng.

Quanzong pulled Quanduan and looked at Bulu: "Master Taifu, since you think His Majesty has insulted the state, who can not insult the state?" Quanzong hoped that Bulu would say the word Zhang Cheng.Even if you don't talk about Zhang Cheng, any son of Sun Quan will do, because they are always in the same group.

Bu Lu shook his head: "There are a lot of talents in my Wu royal family, and there are many people who are better than your majesty today. Anyone can be alone. King Lu and King Qi are elegant people, and even the juniors are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. People will not humiliate the national system, everyone can make their own judgments."

Sikong Xue Zong took over at this time: "King Lu is reckless, the previous emperor has made a conclusion, and King Qi is cowardly. You all know that our country of Wu has reached the brink of collapse. These two people may not be able to take on important positions. I have a candidate. Would you like to hear it?"

Sun Liang wanted to cry at this time, but he didn't expect that today's disaster would be caused by his impulsiveness.When I was in Shatou Town, I really hoped to use Long Fei's power to get rid of Zhang Cheng, so I recognized Long Fei as my uncle.It was still too naive to think that Zhang Cheng would not mind, but it is a pity that Zhang Cheng understood what he meant.I'm going to move him as soon as I get back.Sun Liang's tears fell down.

At this time, the ministers began to argue, and the fierce quarrel that hadn't been seen for a long time reappeared in the court of Wu State.The focus of the debate soon turned to who should succeed the emperor.Some people began to speculate that Zhang Cheng would take his place, but they dared not say so, so they could only quietly stand in the corner and watch.Some people knew that Zhang Cheng had taken back the matter of Sun Hao, the son of the late prince Sunhe, but Zhang Cheng didn't say anything, and they dared not say anything.

One morning, people from both parties were arguing over the matter of the new emperor Wu Guo. Only Zhang Cheng sat quietly in his seat, sipping tea, and admiring Sun Liang's frowning smiling face.

Suddenly Zhang Cheng slammed the teacup in his hand into pieces, and the quarreling crowd fell silent in an instant.Zhang Cheng got up slowly: "I think the late prince's son Wu Chenghou Sun Hao is very good, what do you think?"

As soon as Zhang Cheng's words came out, Chang Shi immediately said loudly: "By God, the emperor ordered that since I ascended the throne, I have felt powerless. I have humiliated my ancestors with Shatou town, and I have no face to face Jiangdong's elders. I am determined to abdicate and let the virtuous, so The prince's grandson and his son Wucheng Hou Sunhao, young and promising, quick-witted, are the only talents in the later stage of Wu Kingdom, and more resistant to the former emperor's descendants, I intend to pass on the throne to Sun Hao, hereby...!"

"Zhang Cheng! How dare you forge the imperial decree!" Zhu Zhi couldn't bear it any longer, and pointed at Zhang Cheng with a fierce look on his face: "Today I will replace the late emperor..."

Before the words were finished, the people in the main hall shut up with a bang.Hundreds of soldiers rushed in from behind the screen on one side of the main hall, fully armed and guarding Zhang Cheng.Zhang Xiu was dressed in military uniform and carried a sword in his hand: "Whoever hurts the general, let him die here immediately!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to move.The whole family and the Zhu family also fell silent.There were bursts of shouts of killing outside the city, and the armies that had already been stationed outside the city began to attack each other.On one side, there are those led by Zhang Fen who support the replacement of the emperor. They are large in number and well-equipped with weapons.On one side are soldiers and horses temporarily organized by the whole family and the Zhu family. These people are led by veterans and generals, and follow a group of servants to protect the courtyard.As soon as you fight up, you will stand on a high ground.

Not long after, Zhang Fen was covered in blood, and walked in with Dong Xi's head in his hand: "Brother, the traitor has already been killed by the nest! The other soldiers and horses collapsed, and I will send people to hunt down and kill not a single one!"

Zhang Chengxiao looked at the whole family and the Zhu family on the opposite side, and sighed: "You two are also the pillars of my Wu Guodong. It's really unexpected for me to rebel. Come on...!"

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute, general!" Sun Liang finally spoke about this matter, and got off the dragon chair tremblingly: "General, I have already abdicated, and I am willing to give up the throne. Please let Quanzong, Zhu Zhi and others go I thank the General again." After speaking, Shuangxi knelt down in front of Zhang Cheng.

For all this, Zhang Cheng was indifferent, and turned to look at his father-in-law Zhuge Jin.Seeing Zhuge Jin shaking his head slightly, Zhang Cheng immediately understood that letting the Zhu family and the whole family go is nothing more than letting the tiger go back to the mountain, and he doesn't know when he will come back to clean up himself.Zhang Cheng coughed: "Come on, put Quanzong and Zhu Zhi in prison, arrest the Zhu family and beat villains, etc. In addition..." Zhang Cheng glanced at Sun Liang who was kneeling on the ground, and then said: "From Starting today, Sun Liang will be relegated to Marquis of Wu Cheng, and will temporarily live in the Imperial Palace, without His Majesty's permission, he is not allowed to come or go."
