The chair sounded softly, and Zhao Tong stood up and bowed, "King, since the edict is clear, the king naturally cannot sit and wait for death. At present, although it is not certain that this is Your Majesty's intention, there are still some who forge the edict and some who want to be unfavorable to the king,

There is no doubt. For the sake of the country, the governor dared to use the position of military supervision to write a letter to the king to complain about the wrongs, and at the same time asked the king to make a quick decision and immediately rectify the army in case of an accident."

As soon as Zhao Tong said the words, he received a response immediately. Fei Yi stood up and shouted: "In the name of the emperor's edict, assassination of the pillars of the country, all people and things are crazy. Yi dared to use the Great Emperor's Lunar

The post is attached to the Zhao Military Supervisor’s Proposal.”

Zhao Fei and the other two were the most suspicious. However, Zhao Tong fought with the spear and was injured, and made indelible contributions to protecting Wei Ba. At this moment, naturally no one would doubt his intentions anymore.

Although Fei Yi also had doubts, he had made famous for Wei Ba in Chengdu and created public opinion. If he supports Wei Ba at this moment, he can certainly clear his suspicion.

Zhao Tong said it very implicitly, but the meaning inside is already very clear. Regardless of whether the emperor has a share or not, the prime minister will definitely not be able to escape from this matter. The assassin is a dead soldier in Liangzhou, and Jiang Wei cannot escape it. Qingjun side

The banner of the king was firmly in the hands of Wei Ba. If Wei Ba was willing and confirmed that this matter was from the emperor's original intention, then Wei Ba could be openly independent and declare his separation from the Shu Han court.

He has this strength and this reason. It is because the court cannot tolerate him, not because he wants to rebel against the court. He is the victim. You can say that he is not a true loyal minister, but you can't say that he has rebelled.

After all, this edict was issued by the court, and the court had to attack him first.

With Zhao Fei and his two men's initiative, the silence was immediately broken, and one general after another stood up and announced his support for Wei Ba, and even asked to raise troops to face the west immediately.

The lobby was filled with excitement and the calls for a fight were heard.

Wei Ba raised his hands and gently pressed down. The noisy lobby suddenly became silent. Everyone turned their eyes to him and raised their ears, for fear of missing a word.

"Whether the emperor or the prime minister want my life, I'm afraid I won't just arrange the assassin, nor will I just look here." Wei Ba pointed at the table with his finger. "In extraordinary times, use extraordinary times.

The means are inconvenient. I hope you will support it."

"I hope only the king's order will follow." Everyone responded with a loud bang.

"Thank you all." Wei Ba stood up, bowed and clasped his fists.

Everyone quickly returned the gift.

"The closest to us is the headquarters of General Zhendong." Wei Ba turned his face and looked at Zhao Yun: "Senior brother, please let me go."

Zhao Tong bowed and accepted the order: "Here."

"Official gift."

Sun Shao stood up and bowed with his fists.

"I'm please come with my senior brother and take the position of General Zhendong."

"Here."

...

Wei Ba dispatched troops and generals, and the generals took the order one by one. After arranging everything, Wei Ba said to Fei Yi: "Jun Fei, the situation has changed, and the negotiations with Cao Wei must also be adjusted. You and Guo Li said

With a word, I am going to make some changes to the conditions and have to interview him."

Fei Yi understood and took the order and left.

...

On the 30th day of the first lunar month, Pengcheng.

Accompanied by Sun Shao, Zhao Tong strode into Ma Zhong's lobby.

Someone had long informed Ma Zhong about their arrival. Ma Zhong was wearing armor and swords, and the guards stood in a circle under the corridor and were ready for battle. The atmosphere in the lobby was tense, which made people very depressed.

Zhao Tong stood in front of Ma Zhong, frowned slightly: "General Zhendong, something happened."

Ma Zhong tightened his heart and said in a cold voice: "What happened?"

"Someone assassinated the General of the Carriage."

Ma Zhong was mentally prepared for this. He knew that Zhao Tong came, and must have been for this matter, but he didn't know whether Wei Ba was injured or dead now. He felt a little uneasy that Zhao Tong should be in charge of military affairs in Linzi as a military supervisor.

, How could he run to Pengcheng?

"That carriage general..."

"General Cheqi and Cavalry are safe." Zhao Tong suddenly laughed. As he spoke, he had already pressed Ma Zhong's arm: "Everything is fine in Linzi, so let him ask me to come here to see if there is something unusual.

”

Ma Zhong's face changed drastically. He took a breath of air and involuntarily held the knife onto the hilt. A cold light burst out in his eyes, staring at Zhao Tong: "Zhao Jianjun, you..."

"I will temporarily remove your military power as a military supervisor and take you back to Linzi to report military affairs to His Highness King Jin." Zhao Tong said slowly: "Are you going with me quietly? Or are you ready to go with me quietly?

Kill one?"

Ma Zhong looked at Sun Shao who was pressing his hand on the hilt of the knife, smiling grimly, waiting to pull out his sword to chop people, then looked at Zhao Tong with a gentle smile, and his heart sank to the bottom. He can now fight hard, maybe he can kill him

Zhao Tong, but what's next? Sun Shao is outside the city, and Wei Ba's army will probably arrive soon. Can he win? What awaits him will be dead and destruction.

Whether the Prime Minister’s plan can be successful depends on whether he can kill Wei Ba. Since Wei Ba is not dead, the plan will naturally fail. Is it meaningful to be buried with a failed plan?

Ma Zhong let go of his hand, slowly pulled out the battle knife, threw it on the ground, took off the seal at his waist, and stuffed it into Zhao Tong's hand, and smiled sadly: "The disaster is not as good as his family. Please ask General Zhao for a few good words."

"Your Highness of King Jin is not a person who is easy to kill." Zhao Tong smiled: "Where is the edict?"

Ma Zhong lowered his head and said dejectedly: "I'll give it to you now."

...

On the third day of the second month, Yingchuan.

Zhuge Ke and Zhuge Rong walked into the central army's tent and were suddenly stunned.

Lu Xun sat in the middle of the tent, and more than a dozen fully armed soldiers stood aside. As soon as they entered the door, soldiers rushed over from behind, blocking their retreat, and at the same time pulled up the door of the tent.

.

Zhuge Rong subconsciously removed the sword on his waist, "Crack!" The sound of drawing the sword sounded, and dozens of swords were unsheathed, pointing at Zhuge Ke's brothers. Zhuge Ke quickly pressed and held Zhuge Rong down.

A light was lit in the big tent, and Lu Xun's face flickered under the light, flickering and dark, making people confused.

"General Zhenbei... is healed?"

"You don't have to say it, listen to me." Lu Xun raised his hand and interrupted Zhuge Ke. "I came back to take over the military power on the order of General of the Chariot and Cavalry. From now on, you will be removed from military power and wait for disposal."

"Why?" Zhuge Ke roared, turned around and was about to break out. With a light sound, four sharp swords were placed on their brothers' necks. Before they could come back to their senses, the swords on their waists had already been stolen by others.

Drawn away.

"If you move around again, I will kill you now." Lu Xun stroked his finger leisurely, his tone as if he was walking on the spring and watching willows.

"You don't have this right!" Zhuge Ke roared: "You dare to kill me. The Prime Minister can't spare you."

"Prime Minister?" Lu Xun couldn't help laughing: "Prime Minister will be replaced soon. Kong Ming couldn't take care of himself and could not save you."

Zhuge Ke was panting like a cow, and he had an ominous premonition. Lu Xun suddenly returned to the camp and seized his military power so roughly. It would never be as simple as the intention was to do it for a moment.

"Why?"

"Someone took advantage of the opportunity of proclaiming an imperial edict to assassinate the general of the chariot and cavalry. He made a mistake." Lu Xun stood up, walked to Zhuge Ke, and gently pulled off the seal on Zhuge Ke's waist. "You don't know anything about it, right?

With your intelligence, you can guess this result even if you guess."

Zhuge Ke was sweating like rain and his face was ashes. He knew that the scene he didn't want to see the least finally came true.

"Do you take the initiative to hand over the orders given to you by the Prime Minister, or will I send someone to search?"

"I'll give it to you." Zhuge Ke lowered his head in frustration.

...

On the fourth day of the second month, Dongting.

Zhuge Dan hurried to Baqiu with a few guards. He had just received the order when Guan Xing inspected and came to Baqiu and summoned him to report his duties.

Zhuge Dan originally wanted to bring more people, but he knew that it was an extraordinary time, and something big would happen in Qingzhou soon, and the situation would change drastically. He shouldered heavy responsibilities and should be vigilant. But he thought about it and followed

Time calculations show that Liu Min and others have just arrived in Linzi for only four or five days. No matter how successful or failure they are, Guan Xing will never receive the news.

Guan Xing's arrival may only be a routine inspection, which is no different from the last inspection. If he brought too many people, Guan Xing would be suspicious, alert the enemy, and miss the big thing.

Therefore, as usual, he only brought a few personal guards.

Everything was as usual, Guan Xing smiled and laughed as soon as he saw him: "Public rest, it's coming so fast."

"Why dare not stop being summoned?" Zhuge Dan smiled and said, "Why don't you go to my navy camp? I can also ask you to taste the fresh fish from Dongting Lake."

"I'm afraid that what is waiting for me is not fresh fish, but steel knives." Guan Xing's face smiled like a flower, but there was no smile in his eyes. On the contrary, there was a little sarcastic. Zhuge Dan was shocked and subconsciously held it tightly.

The scabbard smiled and said, "What does the general mean?"

"Public rest, why do you have to say so clearly?" Guan Xing reached out and held Zhuge Dan's knife ring, and the smile on his face dissipated, "General Cheqi and Cavalry are not bad to you, why don't you know how to repay your gratitude and even fight with the Prime Minister.

Don’t know what secret decree is going on? Don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”

Zhuge Dan was shocked and subconsciously reached out and drew his sword. As soon as his hand moved, he was hit in the back of his head. His eyes suddenly turned black and he fell softly to the ground.

In the hall, dozens of halberd guards attacked at the same time, surrounding several guards led by Zhuge Dan in the center. Before those guards could react, they were killed on the spot, and blood splattered five steps.

Guan Xing took Zhuge Dan's seal from a personal guard, weighed it, and sneered in disgust: "At least, I will die as far as I can. The person who comes, drag it out and beheaded and reported."

A moment later, Zhuge Dan's head was sent up. His eyes were closed and his face was filled with regret.

...

On the fifth day of the second month, Chang'an, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhuge Liang suddenly opened his eyes and was frightened. Zhuge Pan, who was looking after him, was startled and quickly put down the books in his hand, came to him, and asked in a low voice: "Dafather, do you want to drink water?"

Zhuge Liang said in a hoarse voice: "Pan'er, please come to the eldest mother."

Zhuge Pan blinked in confusion, but turned around and ran out. Not long after, Huang Yueying rushed over. She held the door frame and looked at Zhuge Liang who had already sat up. She couldn't help but burst into tears and burst into tears.

"Madam, help me clean, I... have a guest to see you."

Before Huang Yueying could answer, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the door. An old slave ran over panting and stood in front of the door: "Chief... Prime Minister, Madam, someone calls himself Peng Xian's son, and is asking for a meeting outside the door.
