Chapter 776

When Yang Guang went to Jiangdu, Yuwen Chengdu was just sick and had no friends. Yang Guang appointed Yuwen Chengdu as the General of the Left Guard and ordered him to stay in Luoyang to protect the King of Yue.

After Yu Wen and launched a mutiny in Jiangdu, King Yang Tong of Yue was supported by all the officials in Luoyang and ascended the throne. He was called Emperor Huangtai. Emperor Huangtai was granted a great meritorious official and was also granted Yuwen Chengdu as Duke Xu and General Zuotun Guard. Xu Guozheng was the title of Yuwen Shu at that time, and was re-granted to Yuwen Chengdu by Emperor Huangtai.

However, after Wang Shichong used a knife to kill Wei Jin, the Minister of War, everyone in Luoyang was in danger. Due to the situation, several neutral generals, including Yuwen Chengdu, the General of Zuo Tun Guard, Zhang Zhenzhou, the General of Right Guard, and others had to submit to Wang Shichong to support him as King Zheng in order to protect themselves.

In this battle with the Tang army, Yuwen Chengdu, the beloved war horse demon beast who had been following him for many years, was unfortunately killed in an arrow. Yuwen Chengdu was both sad and distressed. The sadness was that the war horse followed him for many years, just like his brother. The love horse was shot in the head, which made Yuwen Chengdu heartbroken. He hugged the love horse and stayed in the tent all night, watching the love horse die in his arms.

The trouble is that Yuwen Chengdu is majestic and weighs nearly 200 kilograms. With his 240 kilograms of phoenix wings, no war horse can carry him except the Demonic Beast. Unless he can no longer use weapons, there is no weapon, and the eagle has no wings. Yuwen Chengdu cannot accept such a result.

Just when he was very distressed, Zhang Xuan sent someone to send a top-quality Dayuan horse treasured by the emperor Yang Guang, which made Yuwen Chengdu overjoyed. The Dayuan horse was as black as charcoal, eight feet tall, one or two feet long, and four hooves were as thick as a tree trunk, and could run fast with a load of thousands of pounds.

What satisfied Yuwen Chengdu even more was that this Dayuan horse was like his Demon Infinite Beast, with a very long mane, very much like a Western magic horse. The war horse was originally called Heiyue, but Yuwen Chengdu changed its name to Demon Infinite Beast without hesitation to commemorate his lost war horse.

But Yuwen Chengdu didn't know that his acquisition of this war horse had already aroused Wang Shichong's strong dissatisfaction with him.

In the afternoon, Yuwen Chengdu had just returned from walking his horse outside, but saw General Zhang Zhenzhou standing outside his tent and talking to his personal soldiers. Yuwen Chengdu laughed, "When did Brother Zhang come to Xiangguo County?"

Yuwen Chengdu is extremely arrogant and there are few people who are respected by him, and Zhang Zhenzhou is one of them.

Zhang Zhen was about forty years old and was also a former general of the Sui army's navy. In the early years of Daye, he went out to sea with Zhu Kuan to expedition the Ryukyu Kingdom. On his way back, he discovered Gaohua Island, which is the ******* of later generations. After Emperor Tai ascended the throne, he appointed Zhang Zhenzhou as the general of the Right Guard. Like Yuwen Chengdu, he was forced to support him as King Zheng due to Wang Shichong's power.

This time, Wang Shichong attacked the Wagang Army. Zhang Zhen Zhou and Qiu Huaiyi led their troops to station in Chenliu County and intercepted the Wagang Army to flee north. After the Tang army marched eastward, Zhang Zhen Zhou was transferred back to Luoyang to be responsible for the governor's food and grass.

Zhang Zhenzhou bowed and smiled, "I escorted a batch of food and grass to Xiangguo County. I heard that my brother got a BMW, so I'll take a look!"

Yuwen Chengdu turned over and dismounted the horse and threw the reins to his personal soldiers. "It's it, Brother Zhang might as well watch it!"

Zhang Zhenzhou looked carefully for a moment and couldn't help but wonder, "Isn't this my brother's Demonic Beast?"

"It's true, but it's still different. Its head is slightly smaller than that of the Demon Infinite Beast, its mane is not long enough, and its weight-bearing ability is stronger than that of the Demon Infinite Beast."

"It seems that only I know the best about my love horse. It is difficult for us outsiders to distinguish, but I have seen this war horse before."

Yuwen Chengdu gently stroked his beloved horse, "It is the fourth-ranked Black Moon among the twelve BMWs of the late emperors, and the other Black King Kong, which is no less than it. I heard that it was obtained by Luo Shixin."

Zhang Zhenzhou nodded, "I have something else to look for my brother."

Yuwen Chengdu waved his hand and said, "Please sit in the account!"

The two walked into the tent and sat down. Yuwen Chengdu asked his personal soldiers to serve tea again. Seeing that Zhang Zhenzhou seemed a little worried, he asked in a low voice: "What happened?"

"Actually, there is nothing big. This time I went south to the palace to pay homage to the emperor and tell him about the process of this Three Kingdoms War."

"What did the Lord say?"

"The Emperor is very happy. He said that the North and South Sui were brothers. He was very pleased that the brothers were united and resisted foreign aggression. Although the brothers separated, there was still a day of reintegration. He hoped that this day would come soon."

Yuwen Chengdu smiled bitterly and shook his head. The Northern Sui Dynasty was clearly Zhang Xuan's dynasty. What did it have to do with the Great Sui Dynasty? The emperor is still too simple.

Zhang Zhenzhou understood the meaning of Yuwen Chengdu’s wry smile, and he sighed: “After all, the emperor is young and cannot understand the complexity of people’s hearts. In fact, the biggest threat to him was not the Northern Sui Dynasty, but by his side.”

Of course, Yuwen Chengdu understood who Zhang Zhenzhou was referring to, but this topic was more sensitive. He was silent for a moment. At this time, Zhang Zhenzhou said again: "The Lord has given me something, let me do as much as possible!"

"What's up?"

Zhang Zhenzhou took a sip of tea, stared at the tea cup in his hand and asked, "Why do you think Wang Shichong must accept Zhu Jie's surrender?"

"Is the matter given to you by the Lord about Zhu Jie?"

Zhang Zhenzhou nodded, "The emperor hates Zhu Jie's cruelty very much, saying that he will never accept the man-cannibal devil king as his minister. He hopes that I will persuade Wang Shichong to kill this person and not let the country be defiled."

"Then why didn't the emperor directly issue an order to kill Zhu Jie?"

Zhang Zhenzhou sneered, "Do you think the emperor's will can leave the palace?"

Yuwen Chengdu was silent. Wang Shichong appointed his son Wang Xuanying as the Minister of the Inner History to control the emperor's talisman seal. All emperor's edicts or imperial edicts must be stamped by Wang Xuanying before they can be issued. In fact, everyone knows that most of the emperor's edicts have been tampered with by Wang Shichong.

Yuwen Chengdu sighed, "I guess it's difficult. Wang Shichong wants to use Zhu Jie to control Jing Xiang. At this time, he will never kill Zhu Jie, but will use him more."

"But killing Zhu Jie wouldn't it win the hearts of Jingxiang even more?"

Yuwen Chengdu still shook his head, "Don't you understand Wang Shichong? He condoned the Huainan army to burn, kill and loot, and in Jiangnan he massacred and surrendered tens of thousands of people. When did he care about the people's hearts? What he wanted was majesty. Jingxiang was very afraid of Zhu Jie. When Zhu Jie arrived, all counties and counties surrendered in a hurry. Who dared to resist at all, Wang Shichong took this eye on this."

"But don't you feel ashamed of you and me as a mate with such people?"

Yuwen Chengdu was silent and asked after a moment, "What do Brother Zhang want me to do?"

Zhang Zhenzhou took out a joint letter asking for the killing of Zhu Jie, "This is a joint letter I initiated. More than a dozen ministers have signed it. I ask Wang Shichong to kill the demon king Zhu Jie, and my brother will sign it too!"

Yuwen Chengdu looked at it and there were more than a dozen people including the inner historian Ling Yuan Wendu, the Minister of War Huangfu Wuyi, the left and right guard general Fei Yao and Tian Yang who guarded the palace, the Henan Prefecture Chief Yao Junsu and others. Yuwen Chengdu smiled bitterly in his heart. Isn’t this a list of opposition to Wang Shichong? But Wang Shichong knew these lists very well, and it didn’t matter if he handed them over.

Yuwen Chengdu pondered for a moment, and signed his name on it, Yuwen Chengdu, the general of Zuotun Guard.

Zhang Zhenzhou was very happy, "I will go to Nanyang County to see Wang Shichong. Whether he is happy or unhappy, he must force him to kill Zhu Jie. We and Zhu Jie are not in common with each other, and we must not let this person defile the reputation of the court."

Wang Shichong is currently inspecting Nanyang County. Since the Tang army retreated westward, Wang Shichong has expanded southward rapidly. According to his agreement with Zhang Xuan, he occupied six counties including Xiyang, Nanyang, Xiangyang, Jingyang, Huai'an, Xiangguo, etc. In addition to the Hongnong County, Henan Prefecture and Xingyang County he controlled, Wang Shichong controlled the entire western part of the Central Plains and the northern part of Jingzhou.

In the morning, Wang Shichong, surrounded by dozens of generals, inspected the autumn harvest in Xinye County. Xinye planted rice like Xiangyang. It was the harvest season. The rice waves were rolling, and at first glance it looked like endless golden yellow. Countless farmers were busy in the world.

Wang Shichong was extremely excited and pointed at the rice fields with a horse whip and smiled at the generals and said, "Look at my country?"

The generals were stunned. Zhu Jie was extremely clever and immediately smiled flatteringly: "Your Majesty is like a painting, and the people in the world have your Majesty as the king and father, and it is a blessing for the people!"

This flattery made Wang Shichong feel excited and smiled: "The Lone King is just a joke, don't take it seriously!"

At this time, a soldier came forward to report: "Your Majesty, Luoyang's food and grass have been taken over!"

"The food comes just right, let's take a look!"
