Chapter 68 Chang'an Ambition
The Hulao Pass in the past has become a vast ocean, with oil and debris floating on the water surface, floating and sinking.
A flag with the Yellow Turban Army logo slowly sank in the water, and seemed to be still unwilling to be the fate of the Yellow Turban Army. When a wave hit him, it disappeared completely.
Zhao Zilong and I stood on the shore, overlooking the vast ocean, and our hearts were surging.
This is the first time in many years that humans have achieved victory over robots. But they are utilizing the most primitive power - the power of nature.
In the face of the surging flood, even the most arrogant Yellow Turban Army had to wait for death.
I asked Zhao Zilong: "Aren't there a flying robot? In addition, there should be a robot that can move on the water, right?"
Zhao Zilong replied: "Relatively speaking, there are not many robots. This flood came quickly and did not give the Yellow Turban Army time to prepare. In addition to robots that can take off and land vertically, most of the flying robots are submerged on the runway, while robots that can move in the water are facing searches for warships and submarines."
A buzzing roar came from above my head. It was an early warning aircraft with the body of Chang'an logo.
"Where did the three giants of the Yellow Turban Army go?"
"Are you talking about Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang, Zhang Bao?" Zhao Zilong pointed to a small dot in the distance: "It is said that they and a small group of Yellow Turban Army were trapped at the city of Hulao Pass. Ding Jianyang's mobile base bombed them with a Fangtian Huaji. The losses were heavy. The three Zhang brothers had been seriously injured. They were captured by Ding Jianyang and brought back to the base."
"According to this, the Yellow Turban Army should be gone, right?"
Zhao Zilong nodded: "Zhang Jiao has the command core of the Yellow Turban Army. After Zhang Jiao was captured, the entire Yellow Turban Army had collapsed. Only a few robots in a crazy state are still fighting against humans. However, the elites like the Ice Flame Legion have completely disappeared."
"As a matter of this, humans won?" I was a little unbelievable.
"Indeed, I won." Zhao Zilong nodded, with a confused expression on his face. To be honest, we have all spent too long in the war. Once peace comes, we will all show confusion.
But no matter what, this is a great news!
Zhao Zilong and I left the shore and advanced towards Lu Zigan's camp.
Lu Zigan and the others were gathering for a meeting. When they saw us coming, they waved from afar.
"Come and sit down, there will be a new battle report."
Zhao Zilongxun and I looked at each other. At this time, there was still a battle? Didn’t it mean that the main force of the Yellow Turban Army had been completely wiped out, the three Zhang brothers had been captured, and the robots in the world were gone?
After we sat down, Lu Zigan read the battle report: "The remnants of the Yellow Turban Army have been separated into large and small troops, but these troops did not immediately lose their combat effectiveness as we expected. Zhang Jiao may have issued them the order of "resistance to the end" in some way. Some of the Yellow Turban Army has undergone simple rectification and restored its combat capabilities. Currently, two troops are rushing towards us. The Ma Teng troops, who are in charge of the left wing, have already blocked them."
"What are we going to do?" Yongliang asked.
"Enter Chang'an!"
We were all quite surprised. Seeing that the enemy was coming, why didn’t we stop the enemy, but march into Chang'an?
Lu Zigan explained: "Chang'an City has been attacked by the Yellow Turban Army in turn. The Chang'an defenders are already trapped and need someone to take over the post. We currently lack heavy equipment to fight directly with robots. If we enter Chang'an, the arsenal there can just fill the gap in this regard. In addition, General He from Chang'an also issued a transfer order to us and urgently transferred us over." He looked at Zhao Zilong and I intentionally or unintentionally, "It is said that General He has a bright eye for some of our people here, and he doesn't know whether it is true or false."
Zhao Zilong and I were both shocked. I thought what Ding Jianyang said to us had passed, but I didn't expect that General He wanted to summon us.
Lu Zigan arranged for everyone to make an advance, and then called Zhao Zilong and me over.
"Xuande, the Chang'an transfer order additionally states that you and Zhao Zilong must be transferred. This is what General He asked."
I looked into Lu Zi's eyes and said, "Do you think it's good or bad if we go?"
Lu Zigan sighed softly: "In Chang'an, although it seems to be a solid piece of iron, I can't see through politics. General He is a big man, but Chang'an hides dragons and slums, and the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door. He is more than the only one... Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Cheng Kuang, Xia Yun, Guo Sheng... These people are all important and are incompatible with General He. If you go, be careful of these people."
"But we have refused before..."
Lu Zi waved his hand: "The fact that you captured Dong Zhongying has spread a long time ago. I know it. Now General He intends to promote you and Zhao Zilong as heroes. In the future, you will be celebrities in Chang'an. Promotion and wealth are just around the corner. He has two more help in his hands." He paused and said in a joking tone: "I have achieved it in the future, don't forget to recommend me."
I hurriedly said, "You're so flirting with me!"
Lu Zigan handed me the transfer order: "The following is clearly written. As a reward, you were awarded the rank of major, and Zhao Zilong was arranged to enter Chang'an Research Institute..."
"Chang'an Research Institute?!" Zhao Zilong's face showed joy: "That's where I have always wanted to go. I have long since I didn't want to fight and kill. Just be a researcher and study my star marrow quietly."
"It's not that simple. You were arranged to be a special commissioner to supervise the research of the new weapon of Chang'an." Lu Zigan smiled bitterly and said, "Don't think about it if you are quiet. The world is still in troubled times, and the chaos caused by the Yellow Turban Army cannot be restored in a year or two. I heard that with the aftermath of the Yellow Turban Army's rebellion, someone has already planned to rebel."
"Who are there?!" Zhao Zilong asked alertly.
"The Dong Zhongying you arrested is one. One of his troops has already gone to the research center of the Golden Army to seize the technology of the Yellow Turban Army. Since no one has shown the intentions of this troops in advance, they may have succeeded now. In addition, every time his troops pass by, they robbed the star marrow ore there. I suspect he is working on some secret weapon related to star marrow. But he has no real evidence. Now that you have arrested him, you can take the opportunity to try it out."
After a night of rest, the troops began to march again. Since Hulao Pass had been submerged, hundreds of kilometers had become a vast ocean, and only warships sent from Chang'an could be transported.
The warship sailed for about two days and two nights, and a snow-white city appeared in front of us.
From a distance, Chang'an seems to be a snow-capped mountain. All the buildings are built on the mountain. They are white and look extremely holy.
After driving for a few more hours, Zhang Yide, who was standing at the bow of the boat, exclaimed: "How come this city... is floating in the air?!"
That's right, the lower part of the snow-capped mountain is separated from the water surface.
Chang'an is a city floating in the sky!
