Chapter 400 The Final Decision
A hundred thousand troops gathered at the city. Although the Qilin Legion was mainly naval troops, it was still neatly decorated when walking on land, and it was worthy of the name of elite soldiers.
A carriage slowly ran out from Cangzhou City and drove towards the endless military camp for dozens of miles.
Around the carriage, there were more than a hundred elite soldiers, all of whom were fully armed, with light splashing in their eyes, and they obviously had excellent cultivation.
In the south, in the military camp, a pair of elite soldiers were also met.
The first person, about fifty years old, looked calm and indifferent. Judging from his appearance, he was almost a white-faced scholar.
However, behind him were more than a hundred elite soldiers. Their eyes were full of respect when they looked at the scholar, which was respect from the heart, and there was absolutely no falsehood.
This person is the only royal relative of the five major legions of the Han Dynasty, Tan Hongda, the commander of the Qilin Legion.
His eyes were profound and unpredictable, but his face was filled with a passionate smile.
The carriage finally stopped, the curtain was lifted, revealing Lu Dingsheng's old face.
"Uncle Ding, okay." Tan Hongda formally gave a formal salute and said respectfully.
"Oh..." Lu Dingsheng sighed and said, "You haven't seen each other for more than ten years. You have achieved something and... you are old."
The old man's tone was a bit sighing, which contained a kind of helplessness that had gone through vicissitudes.
Tan Hongda's face darkened and said, "Yes, Uncle Ding, I've been together for more than ten years. However, the changes in recent years have been too great."
After a while of silence, Lu Dingsheng suddenly asked, "What are you looking for me to do?"
"It's not my nephew, but your highness wants to meet General Dingtian who was loyal and righteous back then." Tan Hongda suddenly said loudly.
"General Dingtian?" murmured, Lu Dingsheng's gaze gradually became confused.
Under the command of Tan Hongda, the carriage rushed into the camp smoothly.
Lu Dingsheng looked up, but the corners of his eyes jumped, and his eyes stared at someone.
The man was wearing a royal robe with four-clawed dragon embroidered on it. He was His Royal Highness Liu Zhengqi, the last prince of the Han Dynasty.
He stepped forward a few steps, bowed deeply to Lu Dingsheng, and said, "The old general is here, he is so rude."
Lu Dingsheng slowly stood up, and the slightly old body was a little hunched at this time.
His eyes kept staring at Liu Zhengqi's face, with some nostalgia, some surprise, and even more sad and helpless.
"Your Highness is really similar to the late emperor..." The old general seemed to be talking to himself.
"Huh?" Liu Zhengqi was stunned, but he smiled politely, but in his heart, he became more and more surprised.
Could this old man really be confused? Among his father's many children, if we look at his appearance, he is the one who is the least similar.
However, at this time, he had requests from others, so he naturally did not want any extraneous things to happen. Therefore, no one could see any inappropriateness on his face.
However, Lu Dingsheng's eyes were so old. He could see what Liu Zhengqi thought in his heart in just one glance, and couldn't help but sigh: "The veteran said not His Majesty Emperor Xian, but His Majesty Emperor Hui."
Everyone around him was stunned. It turned out that what the old man said was not Emperor Xian of Han, but the father of Emperor Xian of Han, the supreme Han Hui of the Han Dynasty of the previous generation.
"Sixty years ago..." Lu Dingsheng's voice also brought a sense of vicissitudes. He whispered: "Lu Dingsheng back then was just an unknown disciple of a declining family in the northwest. After joining the army, the Southern Barbarians were in chaos and went to war with the army, making repeated military achievements. It's just..."
He smiled and his voice became deeper and deeper: "But, he offended his immediate superior, not only did he not have any achievements, but he was charged with being afraid of the enemy and fearless, and was about to be executed in public. Fortunately, the brothers under my husband's command were righteous and directly exposed this unjust case."
The old general's eyes stared at Liu Zhengqi's face again and said, "Emperor Hui was furious and personally tried the case. Finally, I had to be innocent. Since then, my career has been prosperous all the way, and no one has deliberately made things difficult for me. These are all thanks to Emperor Hui."
Tan Hongda and Liu Zhengqi looked at each other, and a hint of joy flashed in their eyes at the same time. Tan Hongda suddenly smiled and said, "Uncle Ding, I didn't expect that you have such a connection with Emperor Hui."
Lu Dingsheng was suddenly shocked and smiled bitterly: "I'm old, when I see something, I can't help but talk a little more."
Tan Hongda smiled and was about to persuade him.
But the old man waved his hand and asked, "Hongda, why do you want me to come?"
Tan Hongda smiled and said, "You are old and tired, so why don't you ask to go into the tent to rest for a while."
A trace of clarity suddenly flashed in Lu Dingsheng's eyes, and he sighed: "Hongda, I know some things if you don't tell me."
Tan Hongda was shocked and looked up at the old face, as if he had seen some decision from it.
"you……"
"Give me a glass of wine."
Although Tan Hongda didn't understand why, he still handed a cup as he said.
Lu Dingsheng drank it all, sighed, shook his head, and said, "Hongda, believe me, you are not Jiang Kongming's opponent."
"Uncle Ding." Tan Hongda's tone was also firm: "How can a traitor and traitor steal the court forever?"
"Are you a traitor? But this world was fought by them."
"Uncle Ding, since ancient times, there have been differences between the monarch and the ministers. If we only judge the military achievements, the Han Dynasty may not be the best person in this person after hundreds of years."
Lu Dingsheng smiled slightly and said, "It's like, is Dong Zinrui, the former brother Dong?"
Liu Zhengqi and Tan Hongda's faces suddenly changed. Dong Zinrui, who is this? Others may not know, but they all understand the truth.
"Are you old?"
Lu Dingsheng suddenly took a step back, and there was a ray of decision in his voice: "Hongda, Your Highness, if you can listen to me, then go back to the south. Within a few years, Xu Haifeng and Jiang Kongming will definitely be unable to move south."
After saying that, he glanced at everyone, turned around and left.
Liu Zhengqi's face suddenly became extremely embarrassing. He bit his lower lip and said, "Elder General, do you deserve the previous emperor?"
Lu Dingsheng's steps suddenly stopped and said, "Yes, I'm sorry to the late emperor, but I'm worthy of all the Han people."
Liu Zhengqi's hand slowly pressed on the sword handle around his waist, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes. However, a big hand blocked him. At the same time, Tan Hongda's voice came softly: "No..."
The simple carriage slowly rode into Cangzhou City, where Zhang Jinzhong and Xu Lihu had been waiting for a long time.
"Elder General." Xu Lihu shouted loudly, but he immediately realized something was wrong. A heavy breathing sound suddenly came from the car. It was so rapid that it was definitely not ordinary.
The knights guarding the carriage looked at each other and one person boldly lifted the curtain.
Lu Dingsheng lay on his side in the carriage, and there were faint bloodshots flowing from his mouth and nose.
"The Old General..."
Dozens of people shouted loudly at the same time, their voices filled with panic.
"Wine...there is poisonous in the wine." Lu Dingsheng gasped and said bitterly.
"Ah..." The guards beside him suddenly cried and cursed loudly. The wine was poisonous, and Tan Hongda and others had planned it.
"It's outrageous, it's really... incredible..." Xu Lihu roared and turned around and left. After a while, the sound of horns in the city sounded loudly, which was the order gathered in the army.
Zhang Jin was shocked in the center, knowing that no one except this highly favored Xu Lihu had ever felt so overwhelmed. He was about to go to stop him, but he saw Lu Dingsheng raising his hand and summoning him with difficulty.
He immediately flew into the carriage, but saw Lu Dingsheng's gaze glanced out slightly. Zhang Jinzhong's eyebrows shook and said, "I have something to say with the old general, you can retreat."
Including those guards of Lu Dingsheng, it was the time when the six gods were in power. He immediately stepped back and left a large area of open space.
Zhang Jinzhong bent down and whispered to General Liu: "Why do you do this?"
Lu Dingsheng's mouth was filled with a bitter smile: "Because, I don't want to be a sinner of the Lu family."
"What?"
"Jiang Kongming..."
Zhang Jinzhong was stunned. What did this have to do with Jiang Kongming?
"The Liu family has been exhausted. Although the lord is kind, Jiang Kongming is definitely not a good person. The danger in Cangzhou must be solved before their army returns." The old general's speech suddenly became clever, and his eyes were full of helplessness: "General Zhang, after this battle, you should retreat sooner."
Zhang Jinzhong's body was shocked and he couldn't speak for a moment.
"Our era is over." Lu Dingsheng laughed bitterly, his voice getting lower and lower, and at the end, he actually felt a little choked.
Zhang Jinzhong slowly stood up, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
General Dingtian, who was once powerful in the world, has now learned such despicable means. He was forced to do so, so who is going to be the turn of the next one?
A chill surged in Zhang Jinzhong's heart. The heads of the four major legions, except himself, had changed hands several times. So what about him?
He suddenly understood the meaning of the old general's words. Whether he wanted to or not, he had to make a choice for himself, or in other words, his career had ended here.
"General..."
Flashes of wailing sound came from around him, and the soldiers of Lu Dingsheng surrounded the carriage and shouted sadly.
"Please ask the best doctor in the city to heal the poison of the old general and tell them that if the old general has any accidents, this general will kill him and other nine clans." Zhang Jinzhong said sternly.
"Yes..." With a promise, someone naturally left quickly.
"General, what should I do?"
A deputy general stepped forward and said something beside him.
