"Don't ask your people to continue to die!" Zhang Qian pressed the sword blade down, with a noticeable tremor in his command. His wrist was slightly too strong, and he immediately pressed a thin bloody hole into Guo Yuanzhen's neck.

He had not received professional training, neither he nor Wang Han nor Wang Zhihuan were qualified assassins. When things came to an end, he was inevitably so nervous that he was out of control. Fortunately, Guo Yuanzhen was too arrogant and held a "Hongmen Banquet" to plot against his own people, and was too upright, so the three of them seized the opportunity and captured the old guy in one fell swoop.

"Don't come in, everyone must not act rashly!" What a good Guo Yuanzhen, he is absolutely "bachelor" in doing things. Without waiting for Zhang Qian to give him a second order, he opened his voice and shouted loudly.

This decision saved many lives.

The dead soldiers who were originally lying ambushed around the main hall of the general manager and waiting to throw the cup as a sign, then entered the trap to capture and kill Zhang Qian no longer had to rush into the hall at the risk of being blown to pieces. They had just recovered from the shock and were about to take the opportunity to regain their commander from Zhang Qian, and they also stopped moving, holding swords and standing on the spot.

"The surname is Zhang, please let my grandfather go!" Only the young commander Guo Hong was confused when he was concerned. He didn't listen to Guo Yuanzhen's orders and held a sword to fight to Zhang Qian.

Wang Han decisively raised his sword to seal his way, but Wang Zhihuan leaned the third iron lump of twister against the candle without hesitation. The blade in Zhang Qian's hand also pressed down again, and the red blood beads immediately slid down along the blade.

"Stop, stop, do you want to kill me?" Guo Yuanzhen didn't care about the pain and spoke again. He whispered loudly at his son. His muscles twitched, and the anger in his eyes changed like a fake.

"Grandma..." Guo Hong made a cold war with a trembling heart. The sword in his hand lost control and was directly lifted onto the roof by Wang Han. The latter simply went to his side without stopping, and pressed the shaking sword blade towards his neck and carotid artery.

"Don't kill him!" Guo Yuanzhen screamed in anxiety, desperate to save his son. However, Zhang Qian hit the back of the head with the hilt of the sword and sat down softly.

"Grandma!" Guo Hong shouted in grief and anger, but was forced by Wang Han with his sword and could not resist. In an instant, tears flowed all over his face.

"Zhang did not come for murder!" Unexpectedly, the general of the Jinshan Army who was present took the risk, Zhang Qian pressed Guo Yuanzhen's neck with his sword and emphasized again. The voice still sounded trembling, but it was much smoother than before. "Mr. Guo, you should understand."

"Stop, everyone stop! Don't act rashly, otherwise, military law will be carried out!" Guo Yuanzhen did not want to suffer any more, and decisively opened his throat to order, but the arrogance on his face did not decrease at all.

As soon as he finished speaking, several muffled thunder suddenly sounded outside the main hall of the central army headquarters, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Then, screams were endless.

"Don't panic when you use Zhao, I'll wait here!" Before the Jinshan Army in the room could figure out what was going on outside, Luo Huaizu had already appeared at the door with blood. Behind him, more than 20 Zhang Qian's personal soldiers were all stained with blood, and the horizontal sword in his hands was shining.

"As Luo expected, this old thief was holding a Hongmen Banquet!" Found that Zhang Qian had controlled Guo Yuanzhen and his son, Luo Huaizu handed the iron lump in his hand to Ren Liu, and pulled off the outer robe that had been moistened by blood on his body.

"Shaoguan, someone tried to disarm us, so the brothers fought with them to the death!" Ren Wu was not as violent as Luo Huaizu. He arched his hand holding the iron lump and the horizontal knife to Zhang Qian, and explained loudly, "I have no choice but to wait, three brothers died in battle, and the rest are all here."

"Control the doors and windows of the house!" Seeing this, Zhang Qian was even more sure that Guo Yuanzhen had no intention of letting himself go tonight. He gritted his teeth and whispered instructions.

"Yes!" Ren Wu's personal soldiers agreed and divided them into six groups to close the front door, back door and side window of the main hall of the Xingyuan Hall. Although the number of people was small, the murderous aura was no less than that of thousands of troops.

In the room, the young generals were blushing and bowed their heads, not willing to contact Zhang Qian anymore. Several of their confidant generals who had followed Guo Yuanzhen for many years all had gray faces and cold sweats on their foreheads.

In order to ensure that the operation tonight was foolproof, they arranged at least one brigade (one hundred people) to deal with the more than 20 personal soldiers brought by Zhang Qian. However, even if they were killed, they could not have taken down the personal soldiers by four times, but instead rushed into the main hall by the other party.

"Thorn" Someone disliked the blood-stained burqa, pulled it off and threw it on the ground. The bright iron vest was immediately exposed. Under the candlelight, the marks of the knife and gun stabbing on it were particularly eye-catching.

"Master General, does Zhang have a grudge against you? It would be fine if you arrange a Hongmen Banquet, but you actually want to wipe out Zhang's personal soldiers?!" Seeing everyone's expressions in the room, Zhang Qian's nervousness was quickly replaced by anger. The sword blade in his hand pressed down and asked in a deep voice.

"No!" Guo Yuanzhen lowered his head with the flow to avoid being cut by the sword blade again. "However, in order for the war in the Western Regions to be quelled as soon as possible, Guo must imprison you so that you will not continue to disrupt the situation!"

"How to calm down? Let Soge seize my Tang city, kill my Tang people, and then give him a big official?" Since he had already torn his face, there was no need for Zhang Qian to be polite and continued to question with a sneer, "It's true that I have to go to Zhou Yiti, Niu Shi Award three, and the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians are not as good as a cover in your eyes. Manager Guo, are you the general manager of the Tang Dynasty or the general manager of Tuqishi? What benefits can you get if you consider Soge so considerately?"

In the room, more generals of Jinshan Army lowered their heads. However, Guo Yuanzhen himself did not feel guilty at all. He smiled and responded loudly, "There is nothing wrong in the four towns of Anxi. Zhou Yiti forced Soge to rebel, and he will not redeem it for a hundred deaths. And you and Niu Shizhao should not come. After coming, you can't beat the Zhazi, so how can you blame others? As for me, in order to quell the war in the Western Regions as soon as possible, I can pay any price!"

"So, Zhang, Niu Shizhuo, Zhou Yiti, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Anxi are the price in your eyes?!" Anger rolled in Zhang Qian's heart, and the blade in his hand trembled slightly again. "If Soge wants you to die, you will also give him your head? If Soge proposes that all the four towns in Anxi belong to him, he will be willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Didn't you also give Shule to him?!"

"My father and son are in your hands at this moment, so of course you can say whatever you want!" Guo Yuanzhen was asked in a slight manner, but he refused to give in. He curled his lips and responded angrily, "But, Young Master Zhang, don't forget that Guo is the chief general of Jinshan Road, the court's entrustment. What you do today will inevitably cause harm to the nine clans."

This obviously changed the topic. Zhang Qian was so angry that he curled his lips and laughed, but his voice immediately calmed down, "The chief supervisor is a court-listed teacher. Could it be that Zhang's fourth-rank young prison position is a fake? When you ambush the dead soldier and prepare to throw a cup as a quotation, you didn't expect that it would cause trouble to the nine clans?!"

"Hmph!" Guo Yuanzhen did not deny it, but just curled his lips and snorted coldly.

Zhang Qian was so angry that his eyes were getting angry, and his emotions became more and more stable. He shook his head and added in a deep voice: "The chief executive wanted to kill me, but he was not afraid of the disaster of the imperial court to the nine tribes. He was simply relying on his soldiers and generals, and was thousands of miles away from Chang'an. When Soge had rebelled, even if the imperial court was not satisfied with you, he could only listen to your explanations casually, so as not to force you to rebel and completely lose Anxi!"

"Hmph!" Guo Yuanzhen snorted coldly again, disdaining Zhang Qian's accusations.

The young coach Guo Hong was once again embarrassed and blushed. He slowly lowered his head, unwilling to look at his father again.

"Have you ever thought about it? If Zhang killed you today and replaced it. In order to protect Anxi, the court would treat Zhang!" When people were completely disappointed, they would become extremely rational. Zhang Qian was like this now. He hooked a shorter table with his feet, and he sat down with a golden sword, and the blade continued to ask along Guo Yuanzhen's neck.

"Brothers, you won't go with you. If you kill me, you will definitely not be able to leave the Central Army Headquarters alive!" Guo Yuanzhen's face changed, but his voice was still very stable.

The generals present followed him for more than five years at least. It cannot be said that everyone is willing to die for him, at least half of them are willing to advance and retreat with him. However, Zhang Qian and Zhang Qian's personal soldiers were brave and good at fighting, and held secret treasures, but there were not more than thirty. If they lost him as a hostage, they would be destined to be chopped into meat paste by the angry Jinshan Army soldiers.

"Are you sure?" Zhang Qian smiled and increased his strength to press down.

"Yeah!" Guo Yuanzhen let out a muffled groan in pain, gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously. More than half of the Jinshan Army generals around him quickly raised their heads and glared at Zhang Qian. However, a small half continued to lower their heads without any reaction.

"The chief manager forgot one thing, all your men are Han people! You are swaying and moving around the Western Regions, and you are free to advance and retreat because you are leaning against the Tang Dynasty!" Withstanding the urge to behead the general Guo Yuanzhen directly, Zhang Qian raised his hand gently and continued to add in a deep voice, "If the Tang Dynasty defeated all the battles, those chiefs will give you Guo Yuanzhen a face? If you rely on your three-inch tongue, you can guarantee that the war will not prosper. Why should the court raise hundreds of thousands of government soldiers?"

"Yeah!" Guo Yuanzhen was too lazy to debate with Zhang Qian and continued to snort coldly. Among the Jinshan Army generals around him, more people lowered their heads and pondered silently.

Zhang Qian breathed a sigh and continued to shake his head gently, "Master Guo can be in charge of Shule, so that the strong enemy dare not attack. He can fight against all the heroes and let the enemy chiefs let the enemy commander be driven by the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty behind you is the Tang Dynasty betrayed by Zhang, and Zhang does not believe it, the heroes here will be willing to follow you? If Zhang kills you today, and then the secret agreement between you and Soge is made public. If Zhang does not believe it, who is a shameless man who will take a knife to avenge you?"

"Nonsense, I don't have it. There is no secret agreement between me and Soge!" Guo Yuanzhen finally lost his composure and retorted loudly, "If you want to kill, kill me, don't swear!"

"There is a confession from Zhang's hand." Zhang Qian shook his head and sneered in a low voice, "The route and time of Zhang's arrival from Khotan to Shule, no more than ten people know about it. The Grand Chief is one of them. In order to regain Zhe's life, the Grand Chief Secretary does not hesitate to arrange an ambush to take Zhang's life. You said, you have no secret agreement with you, Soge, who believes?"

"I didn't, no!" Guo Yuanzhen exerted force on his legs and tried to stand up, but another severe pain came from behind his neck. Zhang Qian pressed his sword and lay down.

"I didn't, I didn't collude with Soge! You slander! Guo's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty is a testament! He has no bones to cover up his master. What do you force him to admit? What will he admit naturally?" Regardless of the blood dripping from his neck, he red eyes and defended himself loudly. Every sentence was tried to make everyone present hear clearly.

"Then why did you try to kill Zhang? Do you dare to say, who instructed you?" Zhang Qian's voice was much lower than him, but it shocked all the Jinshan Army generals present. Everyone looked at Guo Yuanzhen, hoping that he could give a clear answer.

The young generals, including Guo Hong, were unaware of Guo Yuanzhen's case from beginning to end. Some of the confidant veterans only vaguely knew that Guo Yuanzhen's move was to leave room, and fortunately he would clean up the mess in the future, or contain some selfish intentions to compete for merit. However, no one thought that Guo Yuanzhen would collude with Soge and betray the Tang Dynasty!

What disappointed everyone was that Guo Yuanzhen, who was originally defending himself loudly, suddenly drooped his head and failed to give any explanation for a long time.

However, the young commander Guo Hong, regardless of Wang Han's threat, shouted loudly, and every sentence was filled with a crying voice, "No, my grandfather is loyal to the Tang Dynasty. He definitely did not collude with Soge, no! You can't wrongly accuse him! Zhang Shaojian, you have won, you have the final say, you can't humiliate our Guo family like this!"

"The one who humiliated your Guo family has never been Zhang. Today, Zhang has been begging General Guo to send troops, and he has not planned to use any strength at all! You have witnessed it with your own eyes just now." Zhang Qian sighed and responded in a low voice. Then, he turned his eyes to Guo Yuanzhen and asked in a deep voice: "General Manager, who instructed you to kill Zhang, Zhang doesn't want to know. Zhang doesn't want to know whether you collude with Soge. You don't want to be disgraced, and Zhang doesn't want to die. Let's take a step back, what do you think?"

"You have the final say in your hand!" Guo Yuanzhen became a completely defeated rooster, and nodded without thinking.

He knew that he had not colluded with Soge, and he also knew that Zhang Qian could not bring down his confession by blocking his own. But he could not, nor did he have the courage to make it public that person who instructed him to deal with Zhang Qian.

Without giving away Princess Taiping's name, he would not be able to explain to his soldiers why he tried to get rid of Zhang Qian! He would not be able to dispel the soldiers' suspicion of his collusion with Sage! In that case, if Zhang Qian really killed him in the name of collusion with Sage, he would replace him. The soldiers would probably have a handful of soldiers who were willing to avenge him at all costs!

"Five thousand soldiers and horses, together with these five thousand brothers' supplies for three months, prepare for me. I will take my brothers out of the city tonight!" Seeing that Guo Yuanzhen had surrendered, Zhang Qian was not very good at it, and smiled and made his conditions public loudly. "Leave it to you, are you willing to use him to threaten Soge, or are you willing to treat him as a guest of honor, and Zhang doesn't care."

"Five thousand brothers are easy to summon, but the food and grass that can be used for five thousand soldiers for three months is not a small amount. Guo has no time to take it out for you in two or three days!" Guo Yuanzhen thought for a while and responded very seriously.

"Then three thousand soldiers and two months of food and supplies. I will prepare for you overnight. I will set off again tomorrow morning. Tonight, my personal soldiers will enter the headquarters of the General Administration, and all your personal soldiers will be withdrawn!" Zhang Qian and Niu Shimao learned to use troops all the way, so they knew that Guo Yuanzhen did not tell any lies, so they thought about it and took the initiative to make concessions. "But the son needs to walk with me."

"I'm just such a son!" Guo Yuanzhen was furious and protested with wide eyes.

"I'll follow you, don't make things difficult for my grandfather!" Guo Hong suddenly raised his head and made a promise.

His actions were a little beyond Zhang Qian's expectations. The latter thought about it and nodded gently again, "Okay, since the young marshal is willing to go to rescue Kucha with Zhang, Zhang will certainly be unsuccessful. The young marshal is very capable, and one is counted as ten. Three thousand soldiers and Mali, all the lieutenants can withdraw. Zhang only leads brothers below the brigade and brigade. In this way, the Jinshan Army can fill up these three thousand gaps at any time, and its combat power will not be affected at all!"

"Well! You have the final say!" Guo Yuanzhen glanced at his son with a look of shame and anger, then looked at the generals around him, and nodded slowly.

"Then you give the order, send Mr. Xun to summon three thousand elite troops to prepare food and supplies. I will let my personal soldiers follow him." Zhang Qian was worried that Ye Changmeng would not talk nonsense to Guo Yuanzhen, and put the sword away from Guo Yuanzhen's neck and gave a deep command.

Wang Zhihuan did not hesitate to approach the candle and was ready to light it at any time. Luo Huaizu quickly stepped forward to replace Zhang Qian, pointing at Guo Yuanzhen's back with a horizontal knife. Guo Yuanzhen completely gave up the idea of ​​fighting to the death. From the small hall inside the main hall, he found the arrow and paper and pen, quickly wrote a hand-in-hand, and handed it to the secretary Xun Yingda with the arrow.

"Uncle Luo, take two brothers and accompany Secretary Xun!" Zhang Qian was worried and decisively pointed out Luo Huaizu's general. Then, while holding a sword to monitor Guo Yuanzhen, he ordered Ren Wu, "Ren Lu led the signal and called on brothers to gather here. Those who dared to stop along the way will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!" Ren Wu agreed and rushed out of the door quickly. He took out a bamboo tube from his arms, went to the lamp to light it, and then lifted it high above his head.

"Bang!" A crisp sound came from the bamboo tube in his hand. A little spark rushed into the air at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then, another "bang" sound turned into a large group of bright fallen flowers and fell from the sky with white snow.

Beauty is not ordinary beauty, although short, it is dazzling. If it weren't for the hostility of each other, many generals of the Jinshan Army would have wanted to ask what kind of magic Ren Lusheng released. However, seeing the gray-faced appearance of his coach, they sighed and bowed their heads.

Even if they don’t help their parents, they feel that they can’t raise their heads.

The coach was dissatisfied with the court's arrangement of Zhou Yiti as the Anxi governor, and they refused to send troops to wipe Zhou Yiti's butt. They could understand. The coach was a guest doctor from the host and guest, and was good at making friends with various chiefs. He was not good at leading troops to fight. They could understand. The coach was greedy for me and wanted to snatch Zhe from Zhang Qian's hands to leave room and continue to interact with Soge in the future. They gritted their teeth and understood. However, the coach revealed Zhang Qian's whereabouts to Zhe in advance, and was ordered by a mysterious figure to kill Zhang Qian and then quickly, which really exceeded their understanding ability!

After following Guo Yuanzhen for so many years, they were unwilling to believe that Guo Yuanzhen colluded with Soge and was preparing to gain troops in the Western Regions to respect themselves. But apart from this explanation, they couldn't understand what other reasons did Guo Yuanzhen not only refuse to send troops to rescue Kucha, but also prepare to kill Zhang Qian who came to ask for help.

If Guo Yuanzhen really wants to rebel... Suddenly, someone shivered and shivered. Then he looked up at Zhang Qian, and there was no resentment in his eyes. He even vaguely felt a little grateful.

However, Zhang Qian did not have the energy to pay attention to what the Jinshan Army generals were thinking. He was in the pit of tigers and wolves, so he did not dare to be careless at all. While waiting for Guo Jing to come to the headquarters to join, he kept asking Guo Yuanzhen about the military information and geographical knowledge of the Western Regions, for fear that this person's brain would be free and then there would be some troubles.

With Guo Yuanzhen's intelligence, how could he have thought that Zhang Qian would deliberately divide his god? However, he was unwilling to cause trouble for himself again. So, whenever Zhang Qian asked, he would speak out and say everything. If it weren't for the wound on his neck, he had been slowly bleeding, it would be easy for people to mistakenly think that he and Zhang Qian were a pair of masters and apprentices with a harmonious relationship.

Time passed quickly during the conversation. It seemed that in a blink of an eye, Guo Jing led his personal soldiers to the headquarters of the central army. The unlucky guy who came with everyone's weapons, baggage, mounts, carriages, and the unlucky guy.

Seeing Guo Yuanzhen being held by Zhang Qian with a horizontal knife and sitting next to a pile of leftovers, the unlucky man was stunned at first, then he lay on the ground and began to cry out loud: "Uncle Shi, I am dragging you down. After I die, even if the body turns into ashes, it will be difficult to redeem this sin!"

"Huh?" The Jinshan Army generals, who were originally skeptical about Guo Yuanzhen's speculation about Soge's collusion with Soge, were once again embarrassed and blushed. They all lowered their heads again, unwilling to let people see the embarrassment on their faces at this moment.

"What are you talking nonsense? I, when will it be your uncle in the world?" Guo Yuanzhen was so angry that he smoked his orifices, and his fingers covered his hands and cursed, "It's true that I have a friendship with Lingzun, but Lingzun is loyal to the Tang Dynasty. And you two evil deeds have betrayed the Tang Dynasty, but they have gone to attack Kucha! I have long been with you brothers, and have no grace and righteousness!"

As the person who knows best whether Guo Yuanzhen and Soge colluded, Zhang Qian did not stop him, but just smiled and looked lively. It was not until Zhu's servant was scolded by Guo Yuanzhen so hard that he dared not speak that he ordered people to tie the person to the pillar with an iron chain, and then blocked the person's mouth with a rag again.

After all this trouble, Guo Yuanzhen knew that it would be difficult for him to incite any generals to deal with Zhang Qian, so he simply admitted his mistake. He closed his eyes and sat on the ground and started to sleep. Seeing that he no longer tried to turn the tables, Zhang Qian was too lazy to continue to make things difficult for him. He first asked his personal soldiers to bandage the wounds on the man, and then ordered people to search the entire headquarters of the Central Army with the young commander Guo Hong, and drove all the personal soldiers of the Guo family out of the gate. Finally, he found a relatively large room inside the headquarters and invited all the generals of the Jinshan Army who attended the banquet tonight, and completely cut off contact with the Guo family's father and son.

When everything was busy, it was already early in the morning. I roughly ordered my brothers to take a shift, and Zhang Qian took the lead in searching for a room in the headquarters and fell asleep one after another. Although the conditions were simple, they were much more luxurious than at any time along the way.

"Young Master Zhang should do it yourself. I am waiting for your good news." The next morning, Guo Yuanzhen, who had been whiter all over the place, suddenly smiled and wished him a blessing.

"The chief manager is also good at taking care of himself!" Zhang Qian knew that there was something in this person's words, but he smiled and clasped his fists, "Everyone thinks he is a chess player, be careful to become someone else's abandoned son."

After saying that, he didn't care how stupid Guo Yuanzhen was, shaking the reins, and walked away with three thousand borrowed soldiers! Six out of the sky, quickly blocking his figure.
Chapter completed!
