Chapter 199 The Death of the Marquis of Xiliang

Xiliang.

Yumen Pass.

Yumen Pass is a great pass for Xiliang to resist the aliens outside the pass. Like Yanmen Pass, it is the most important barrier for the surrounding passes.

Go out from Yanmen in the north and Yumen in the west.

This is the saying about the two great passes of Northern Xinjiang and Xiliang in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

now.

With the Jade Gate closed, the war raged and the fighting continued.

At the foot of the Pass, hundreds of thousands of Xirong aliens were left with Chen soldiers.

The Xiliang army guard who had closed the Yumen gate shot away several Xirong soldiers who rushed up, and shouted at a partial general not far away: "General Wang, please quickly send someone to inform the Marquis that this Xirong attack is not a feint."

Yumen Pass, but we are serious about capturing Yumen Pass, so that the Marquis will be careful of Xirong's surprise attack."

The guard of Yumen Pass was one of the major generals of the Xiliang Army and a close confidant of the Marquis of Xiliang.

The guard also knew about the secret agreement between the Marquis of Xiliang and Xirong.

The good idea originally was that Xirong would pretend to attack Yumen Pass outside Chenbing Pass, and secretly Xirong could enter the pass through Dunhuang Pass and go south.

But the guard of Yumen Pass did not expect that the Xirong aliens did not follow what they had agreed upon before.

This is not a pretense to attack Yumen Pass, this is clearly to break through Yumen Pass at all costs.

Fortunately, the Marquis of Xiliang had made preparations before, allowing him, the chief general of the Xiliang Army, to come to Yumen Pass to take charge.

Moreover, a lot of additional troops were deployed at Yumen Pass.

The purpose is to prevent Xirong from playing any tricks secretly.

Otherwise, this Yumen Pass would be really dangerous.

However, since Xirong did not follow what they had agreed upon before, it is estimated that after Xirong entered the pass through Dunhuang, it would not be as simple as going south.

Therefore, the guard had to immediately report the situation here to the Marquis of Xiliang.

Let the Marquis of Xiliang be careful of the troops and horses of Xirong entering the pass from Dunhuang Pass.

"Yes, General."

After the general killed several foreigners from Xirong, he left and sent someone to inform the Marquis of Xiliang.

…

The Jade Gate is closed.

The commander-in-chief of the Xirong army watched their attack retreat again, with an expressionless expression on his face: "I think, after this attack, the other party has already guessed our Xirong's intention to break through."

The commander-in-chief of the Xirong army looked at Yumen Pass and said.

They attacked several times, but if the Xiliang army on the wall could not tell whether they were feinting or really wanted to break through, it would be too unjustifiable.

"Commander, should we attack with all our strength?"

"The other party has guessed our intention to break through the barrier, and will definitely report it to the Marquis of Xiliang."

"If the Marquis of Xiliang learns of our intention to break the barrier, it will not be that easy for us to break the barrier again."

A general next to him spoke.

Hearing this, the commander-in-chief of the Xirong army smiled calmly: "Even if the Marquis of Xiliang knows about it, it doesn't matter."

"As long as the Marquis of Xiliang lets us have access to Dunhuang, then the Marquis of Xiliang will be tied to us and will have to be driven by us."

"This commander has already made plans for Yumen Pass, and several tentative attacks are almost here."

The commander of the Xirong army said with twinkling eyes.

…

Xijing.

When the war at Yumen Pass was raging, the atmosphere in the Xiliang Hou Mansion was also very tense.

Because the imperial envoy has arrived at the Marquis Mansion of Xiliang.

In the meeting hall.

The Marquis of Xiliang led more than ten Xiliang army generals and welcomed Cao Zhengchun, the envoy of the imperial court, into the hall.

"Eunuch Cao, I have already heard of Eunuch Cao's name while I was far away in Xiliang."

"Today, Eunuch Cao can come to Xiliang in person, and my Xiliang Marquis Mansion will really be full of glory!"

The Marquis of Xiliang said politely to Cao Zhengchun.

The Marquis of Xiliang did not expect that Cao Zhengchun, the imperial envoy, would arrive so quickly. If they followed the normal schedule, Cao Zhengchun and the others should arrive in Xiliang in two days.

How come it's two days early?

The Marquis of Xiliang was filled with doubts.

"The Marquis has promoted the miscellaneous family."

"The Zajia is just a pawn working for His Majesty. How can the Zajia be so famous?"

Cao Zhengchun said calmly, looking at the more than ten generals of the Xiliang Army present; "When the Zajia family left Luoyang, Your Majesty asked the Zajia family to express condolences to the generals of the Xiliang Army for Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty said that the generals of the Xiliang Army guarded Xiliang and resisted the foreigners. Thank you for your hard work, the generals of the Xiliang Army."

Cao Zhengchun looked at the more than ten Xiliang Army generals present and said.

Hearing this, more than a dozen generals of the Xiliang Army spoke up and said, "I didn't expect that His Majesty is still thinking about us rough guys. After Eunuch Cao returns to the court, he must thank Your Majesty for your concern on behalf of the generals."

"Yes! Eunuch Cao told Your Majesty after he returned to the court that as long as we are here, the foreigners outside the customs will not be able to take a step into the Great Zhou Dynasty. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Cao Zhengchun nodded; "The Za family also brought a decree from His Majesty to the Marquis of Xiliang."

Cao Zhengchun said and took out an imperial edict.

"Master Hou, listen to the order!"

Cao Zhengchun glanced at the Marquis of Xiliang and said.

"I obey your orders."

The Marquis of Xiliang knelt down without hesitation to listen to the order.

The dozen or so generals also knelt on the ground following the Marquis of Xiliang.

Without saying a word, Cao Zhengchun opened the imperial edict and read it out.

"Your Majesty has decreed that the Marquis of Xiliang should return to the court immediately to report the matter without delay."

The content of the imperial edict is only such a short sentence.

After reading out the words in the imperial edict, Cao Zhengchun closed the imperial edict, looked at the Marquis of Xiliang kneeling on the ground and said, "Master Marquis, please accept the edict!"

"I accept the order."

The Marquis of Xiliang received the order, stood up, looked at Cao Zhengchun and said, "Eunuch Cao, it's not that I don't want to go back to the court to report, it's that I really can't leave."

"Don't you know, Eunuch Cao? Now hundreds of thousands of Xirong troops are outside Yumen Pass, and they may attack Yumen Pass at any time."

"If I leave and the Xirong army attacks Yumen Pass, and something goes wrong with Yumen Pass, the consequences will be disastrous."

"I also ask Eunuch Cao to return to the palace and take my place to explain something to Your Majesty."

The Marquis of Xiliang looked at Cao Zhengchun and said with a troubled expression.

Now, the Xirong army is indeed present outside Yumen Pass. This cannot be false.

The person in the palace ordered the Marquis of Xiliang to return to the court to report, so the Marquis of Xiliang just used the whole thing as an excuse to deal with Cao Zhengchun.

When Cao Zhengchun heard what the Marquis of Xiliang said, he glanced at the Marquis of Xiliang with a calm expression: "It seems that the Marquis wants to resist the decree?"

"The Xiliang Army has hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Is it possible that, except for the Marquis, they are just wine and rice sacks?"

Cao Zhengchun's voice was a little colder.

"The Marquis has twice disobeyed the Holy Will and disrespected it."

"As the saying goes, everything has to be done over and over again, not over and over again."

"The Za family might as well tell the Marquis that His Majesty has also summoned the Marquis of Zhenbei to return to the court to report."

"Unfortunately, the Marquis of Zhenbei has been executed for not respecting the Holy Order, and the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion has also been raided."

"Does the Marquis want to be like the Marquis of Zhenbei?"

Cao Zhengchun looked at the Marquis of Xiliang tenderly.

After hearing Cao Zhengchun's words, the Marquis of Xiliang felt huge waves in his heart.

Was the Marquis of Zhenbei executed?

The Zhenbei Hou Mansion was raided?

This news was like a thunder shock, and the Marquis of Xiliang was unable to react for a while.

The Marquis of Xiliang did not think that Cao Zhengchun was joking, nor did he think that Cao Zhengchun would threaten him with such a false thing.

Obviously, this is true.

The Marquis of Zhenbei was really destroyed by the imperial court.

The Marquis of Xiliang really didn't expect that the imperial court would really take action against them, and so quickly and without any scruples.

In an instant, Marquis Xiliang's eyes flashed and he stepped back.

It is impossible to return to the DPRK after receiving the order.

The Marquis of Xiliang knows better than anyone what will happen after he returns to the court.

Therefore, even if he resists the imperial edict, even if he really falls out with the imperial court, the Marquis of Xiliang will not return to the imperial court.

However, just when the Marquis of Xiliang was about to retreat, Cao Zhengchun's hand had already reached out and strangled the Marquis of Xiliang by the neck with overwhelming power.

Previously, in the Zhenbeihou Mansion in Beijiang, there was the vigilance of Zhenbeihou,

This time Cao Zhengchun had already made preparations to take action in advance.

"Bold, Cao Zhengchun, you dare to take action against the Marquis."

"Let go of Master Hou quickly."

Cao Zhengchun grabbed Xiliang Hou's neck, but it happened in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, the more than ten generals present did not react.

By the time the more than ten generals present reacted, the Marquis of Xiliang had become a prisoner in the hands of Cao Zhengchun.

More than a dozen Xiliang army generals all glared at Cao Zhengchun, their aura erupting.

At the same time, figures rushed out from all around, staring closely at Cao Zhengchun.

These are all masters of the Xiliang Hou Mansion.

Cao Zhengchun glanced at these people, looked at the Marquis of Xiliang who was holding it in his hand, and sneered: "Master Marquis, your Majesty gave you a temporary way to survive but you didn't choose it. You have to choose the path of death."

"Then don't blame the Zajia family."

"Dare to resist the decree and disrespect it, and disobey the holy will."

A cold light flashed in Cao Zhengchun's eyes.

"die."

Speak out one word.

The Marquis of Xiliang's pupils shrank, as if he felt the fear of death, and he struggled hard.

It's a pity that in the hands of Cao Zhengchun, a half-step heavenly man, how could he break free.

Cao Zhengchun exerted force on his hand.

"Click."

There was a crisp sound.

A stream of blood flowed from the corner of Xiliang Hou's mouth.

The Marquis of Xiliang's pupils were originally tightened, but gradually lost their expression.

Perhaps, the Marquis of Xiliang could not believe until his death that Cao Zhengchun dared to directly kill him, the Marquis of Xiliang.

"Master Hou..."

Seeing Cao Zhengchun kill the Marquis of Xiliang without any scruples, everyone in the hall exclaimed.

Before these people had time to react, Cao Zhengchun casually threw Marquis Xiliang to the ground, and his figure had disappeared from where he was.

Immediately afterwards.

Muffled sounds could be heard from time to time in the meeting hall, and bodies kept falling to the ground.

A few minutes later.

Everyone in the hall fell to the ground and turned into a corpse.

Only two figures were still standing upright.

One figure is naturally Cao Zhengchun, and the other figure is one of the more than ten generals.

The general glanced at the corpses on the ground all around, and his face turned pale.

In just a few minutes, all these people died in Cao Zhengchun's hands.

This made the general feel nervous and afraid of Cao Zhengchun.

"Eunuch Cao."

The general raised his hands to Cao Zhengchun and shouted, feeling a little nervous.

Fortunately, he made a wise choice before and secretly surrendered to the imperial court.

Otherwise, there would be one more corpse on the ground today.

"General Dong, Marquis Xiliang and these people are all dead. It's up to you."

Cao Zhengchun glanced at the general lightly and said.

Cao Zhengchun actually looked down upon such a treacherous villain.

However, if it weren't for this kind of person, they wouldn't have been able to successfully capture the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Xiliang.

"Don't worry, Eunuch Cao, I will act according to the plan."

After General Dong finished speaking, he immediately squatted down and took out the military symbols from the bodies of the more than ten generals.

Then, General Dong took out a tiger talisman from the body of the Marquis of Xiliang.

Taking these soldier talismans and tiger talismans, General Dong immediately left the meeting hall.

After General Dong left, Cao Zhengchun's figure immediately disappeared into the hall.

Because the situation in Northern Xinjiang was urgent when Beidi knocked at Yanmen Pass, Cao Zhengchun and Jia Xu did not make too many plans to deal with the Marquis of Xiliang this time, but acted hastily.

Therefore, Cao Zhengchun and the others must cut through the mess quickly this time, and Cao Zhengchun must continue to take action to suppress Zhenbei Hou's cronies.

…

evening.

After a turbulent day, Xijing gradually returned to calm.

The Marquis Mansion of Xiliang.

Meeting hall.

The corpses all over the ground have been cleaned up and removed, but the pungent smell of blood is still strong.

now.

Jia Xu, Cao Zhengchun, and Lu Bu were sitting in the meeting hall.

The patron kings Zhou Zhan and Zhang Liao are now in the military camp of the Xiliang Army.

With the cooperation of General Dong and the prestige and influence of the patron king Zhou Zhan, the power of the Xiliang Army was basically taken over by patron kings Zhou Zhan and Zhang Liao without much fluctuation.

But after all, the power of the Xiliang army had just been taken back, and the morale of the army was unstable.

In addition, we also need to clean up the cronies of the Marquis of Xiliang.

Therefore, in order to stabilize the morale of the army and prevent accidents, the patron kings Zhou Zhan and Zhang Liao were stationed in the military camp.

"Mr. Jia, since the Marquis of Xiliang has been captured and the Xiliang Army has successfully taken over, I will leave immediately to return to Northern Xinjiang."

Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu and said.

Northern Xinjiang is now suffering from Beidi's attack.

Lu Bu, the new commander-in-chief of the Zhenbei Army, came to Xiliang to assist Jia Xu and the others in capturing the Marquis of Xiliang and taking over the Xiliang Army.

Now, the Marquis of Xiliang has been killed, and the Xiliang army has successfully captured it.

Then the problem of Xiliang has been solved, and it is time for Lu Bu to return to Northern Xinjiang.

Jia Xu nodded when he heard Lu Bu's words: "General Lu, you should leave immediately and return to Northern Xinjiang!"

"There is news from Dongchang that His Majesty has sent a mighty marshal to Northern Xinjiang, but the war situation in Northern Xinjiang is still not optimistic."

"The foreign race is obviously well prepared this time, so you should be careful."

Jia Xu reminded Lu Bu.

"Mr. Jia, don't worry. I, Lu Bu, won't even pay attention to a mere foreigner."

"If they dare to offend me, Da Zhou, I, Lu Bu, will make sure they never come back."

Lu Bu stood up, left his proud figure behind, and left the meeting hall directly.

Lu Bu is no longer needed in Xiliang. Jia Xu, Cao Zhengchun, patron king Zhou Zhan, and Zhang Liao are enough.

On the other hand, Lu Bu from the northern Xinjiang side immediately rushed back to take control of the northern Xinjiang and wipe out the foreign tribes.
