Chapter 350: Changing the World's Name and Owner
The day when the first snow fell in Chang'an was very special.
Inside the palace, the Hu people drank and celebrated.
The people of He Mansion buried the dead Murong Ming in silence.
The Black Mountain Army in the suburbs of Beijing had dug through all the tunnels and secretly transported a small number of soldiers into the capital.
And the most important thing is that Dayu’s troops have gathered together!
The troops from Jiannan Road, Qianzhong Road, and Jiangnan East and West Roads all headed north to the capital and joined up with the Black Mountain Army a hundred miles south of the capital.
The dark army surged into the capital from the south like a black tide, ready to submerge the entire city at any time.
Qin Xiao and Wei Dashuan contacted their old subordinates and told them about the current situation in the capital.
Although the veterans guarding various places are not as old as Qin Xiao and Wei Dashuan, they are not young either.
After they led their army to the outskirts of the capital, what surprised them most was not the fact that the Hu people had occupied Chang'an. After all, they had heard about it several times on the way.
What surprised them was that old General Wei Fu was still alive.
So many years have passed, and everyone thought that General Wei was gone. When they received his letters, they were skeptical until they saw him in person.
Wei Dashuan explained the context of everything that happened back then.
The generals were all shocked. They had heard some rumors from the people who fled south, but they did not believe them all.
Only after Wei Dashuan said it in person did they finally believe it.
Stupid, really stupid.
He lacked the courage to give up military power over a cup of wine, but secretly killed thousands of soldiers.
How could Dayu not perish at the hands of such people?
For a time, everyone denounced Murong Yu for deserving death and mourned the injustice suffered by the Xue family army and the Pei family.
"Ahem."
Yuan Chi stood among a group of generals, suppressing the slight smugness in his heart, and cleared his throat and said:
"Ah, this is indeed shocking, but please don't get too excited. As generals, we must remain calm at all times."
Among the generals, there were those who knew Yuan Chi in his early years and knew Yuan Chi's temperament, so they said directly:
"Don't pretend, don't pretend, Old Yuan, I can tell from the looks of it that you knew it all along."
Yuan Chi: ...
The generals quarreled for a while, but then calmed down as quickly as possible.
The most urgent task is to drive the Hu people out of the border.
In order to protect the secret, Qin Xiao and Wei Dashuan finally left only three trusted generals to discuss the strategy together.
"We are numerous. I believe the Hu people in Chang'an will get the news and know that we are here by tomorrow night at the latest."
"They must be on guard."
"We have more people now. Although a strong attack is possible, it is a bad strategy."
"Then let's use the best strategy and wipe out these barbarians in one fell swoop."
"We're like this..."
Later in the discussion, someone asked:
"How strong are the Black Mountain troops led by the two seniors? We have never heard of the Lingnan Black Mountain Army."
Qin Xiao stroked his beard and asked, "What do you think of the Xue family army's combat effectiveness?"
The three generals immediately said, "Of course, he is awe-inspiring and unstoppable."
Wei Dashuan laughed: "When we go to the battlefield, you will know that the Black Mountain Army is not inferior to the Xue Family Army."
His words were so loud that several people present raised their eyebrows.
Among them, Yin Li, the nearly fifty-year-old Jiannan Road governor, frowned slightly:
"I, a junior, have fought alongside the two seniors and killed enemies together on the battlefield. I know full well that the two seniors would never maintain private armies for their own benefit."
"If the Black Mountain Army is supported by someone else, and you two seniors are just training the soldiers, I wonder who could have made you two seniors serve like this? In other words—"
Yin Li paused and lowered his voice:
"I dare to speculate that the two elders have left us here to discuss this matter in secret. To whom do you intend to persuade us to submit and become the ruler of the world?"
Qin Xiao and Wei Dashuan looked at each other.
Qin Xiao turned around and knocked lightly three times on the screen.
A figure passed by behind the screen.
A tall, handsome young man walked out from behind.
Several generals could tell at a glance that this person was of noble status, but after looking at him several times, they still couldn't recognize who he was.
They were away from home for most of the year and rarely met the royal family, and had few opportunities to see the emperor and the prince.
Yin Li guessed which prince this was.
Wei Dashuan introduced: "This is Murong Di, the King of Yue."
After hearing this, the three generals suddenly understood and said, "Greetings, His Royal Highness the King of Yue."
They thought to themselves that it was this previously unknown King of Yue who had ambitions to ascend the throne.
After lying dormant in Lingnan for several years, it has developed its own army and power, which should not be underestimated.
Yin Li thought Murong Di would say a few words to win them over, but Murong Di said nothing.
Murong Di just smiled at them humbly, then stood aside to make way for the people coming out from behind.
Amid the puzzled gazes of several generals, Hao Ren, dressed in a blue shirt, walked out.
Murong Di said:
"The world is in chaos, and countless lives are in ruins. Rather than watching the people suffer, we should step forward, establish a new ruler, and restore peace and prosperity to the world."
"It is my uncle who will be discussing important matters with the generals today."
The room where they were having their secret conversation was not very big, and there were only a few people in it.
When Murong Di first walked out, he was so handsome and his whole body was shining. Anyone would believe that he was a rare talent.
But the moment Hao Ren came out from behind the screen, he suppressed the brilliance of Murong Di.
He just stood there and became the focus of everyone's attention.
"Pei Lingyun!" the three generals said in unison.
They didn't recognize Murong Di when they saw him just now, but when they saw Pei Lingyun, they remembered him at once.
Pei Dingli's second son, Pei Lingyun.
Twenty years ago, before they were transferred from the capital to other places, they were close to the Qin Mansion, the Wei Mansion and the Xue Mansion.
The Xue Mansion is adjacent to the Pei Mansion, and they met the Pei family when they went there.
After so many years, Pei Lingyun is still alive.
Not only alive, but also...
Yin Li looked at Qin Xiao, Wei Dashuan and Murong Di again.
He understood.
The person behind the Black Mountain Army is not Murong Di, but Pei Lingyun.
The person they want to support is not Murong Di.
They want the whole world to change its name and ownership!
Yin Li was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment.
Hao Ren had a faint smile on his face:
"Ling Yun never thought that he would have the honor of meeting several generals again in his lifetime."
It was getting dark outside.
The wind and snow are getting stronger.
The north wind howled outside the window.
The candles in the house burned until dawn.
