Han Shimou

Chapter 420 Li Cui's Suspicion

But at this moment, Ma Chao had already reached the point of death, and stabbed Xu Rong's throat with his spear.Xu Rong didn't care about face, and rolled away again. Ma Chao rode his horse around him and stabbed him five or six times, all of which were almost hit.Later, when the Liangzhou sergeant saw that Xu Rong was in danger, the Qing cavalry team in front rode wildly to rescue him. Ma Chao was besieged, and he only killed for a while before killing the Qing cavalry team back.However, if this is the case, Xu Rong also won the time to escape and was rescued by several sergeants.

Ma Chao killed two generals and defeated Xu Rong.The soldiers in Liangzhou were all overwhelmed by its power, so they charged much slower without realizing it.Ma Chao led the army and killed the Liangzhou cavalry in front for a while. Seeing that Ma Teng had led the army to escape, he led the army back.Xu Rong saw that Ma Chao was so powerful, Ma Teng also escaped, and it was useless to pursue him, so he had to withdraw his troops and return to the city.

In another place, Han Sui's rear army was besieged and killed by Zhang Ji's army.Seeing this, Ma Chao didn't go back to the battle, but the leader of the army attacked Zhang Ji's soldiers and horses again.The soldiers on Zhang Ji's side didn't know Ma Chao's bravery. Several generals bullied him when he was young, and came to attack him. Ma Chao swung his spear and stabbed him violently. , were all killed by Ma Chao.Ma Chaoyue became more aggressive in killing, and charged towards Zhang Ji again.

Zhang Ji secretly saw Ma Chao's bravery, and knew that he was no match for him, so he hurriedly fled on his horse, and at the same time ordered the surrounding soldiers to block Ma Chao's advance.In Liangzhou's army, Ma Chao killed seven in and seven out. Wherever he passed, there must be a bloody storm. A single horse just killed Zhang Jun's army into chaos.

At this point, Han Sui's rear army got a buffer time and fled desperately.Ma Chao waited for Han Sui's rear army to flee away, and left again.

Afterwards, when Zhang Ji and Xu Rong mentioned Ma Chao, they all looked ugly and shocked.At the same time, Ma Chao's ghostly figure is deeply imprinted in the hearts of every Liangzhou soldier who fought with him.

The Xiliang army retreated, and Li Cui's pressure dropped sharply. A few days later, Li Cui was discussing with Guo Si, Li Ru and others about the crusade against Lu Bu.But Zhang Ji and Fan Chou both marched first and went back to Jingzhao and Hongnong to prepare for the battle with Lu Bu.At this moment, Li Bie, Li Cui's nephew, suddenly came and said that he had something important to report to Li Cui.

Li Cui frowned. His nephew was unlearned and incompetent, but he was a family member after all, so Li Cui decided to meet his nephew.After apologizing to Li Ru and Guo Si, he walked out of the hall.Li Bie was waiting outside the main hall, when he saw Li Cui approaching, his expression tightened, before Li Cui could speak, he said a few words quickly in Li Cui's ear.What he said was so shocking that Li Cui's face turned livid.

It turned out that Li Bie saw that Lu Bu let Fan Chou go away, and when he came back, he saw that there were foreign enemies in Chang'an, so he didn't say anything.And Li Bie is Li Cui's eyeliner next to Fan Chou.Li urged to listen to what Li Bie said was true, and thought that he was his nephew, so he believed it immediately.Then Li Cui thought that Fan Chou and Zhang Ji were deceived by the fake secret letter and were ambushed by Lu Bu, there were many doubts.Suspicion towards Fan Chou suddenly became a little more subconsciously, and he even thought that this was a good show by Fan Chou and Lu Bu in collusion!

Li urged to suppress his anger and asked Li Bie to go to his mansion to receive the reward, and then went back to the main hall.After Li Ru and Guo Si saw Li Cui coming back, their faces were angry and dark. After Guo Si and Li Ru looked at each other, Li Ru opened his mouth to ask Li Cui.Li Cui's expression changed first, and he glanced at Guo Bang.Guo Bang and Fan Chou were friends, and although Guo Bang obeyed him on the surface, he always had a lot of words to him in secret.Li Cui casually said one thing to evade, and later he had no intention of discussing the matter of conquering Lv Bu, and then said that he was tired and wanted to rest, Guo Si left first, Li Ru deliberately walked a few steps slower, and after walking out of the hall, after a while Turn back again.

Li Ru was very thoughtful, just now he had eye contact with Li Cui several times, and he knew that Li Cui had something to discuss with him, but it was inconvenient to say it because Guo Si was here at the time.

Seeing Li Ru turn back, Li Cui secretly thought that dealing with smart people is easy.Then his demeanor changed, he believed in Li Ru deeply, and without hiding anything, he immediately expressed his doubts about Fan Chou, and wanted to send troops to fight against Fan Chou.

Li Ru felt that there were many things that were unclear, and advised Li Cui to wait and see for a while before making any plans.However, Li Cui said that Fan Chou had a heavy army in his hand, and he was about to fight Lv Bu in a decisive battle. If Fan Chou turned against him at that time, he would be doomed.So he insisted on getting rid of Fan Chou.Li Ru couldn't persuade Li Cui, so he had to make a plan.

"At present, people's hearts are not at peace, and Fan Chou rebelled, but his soldiers have the same heart. If the two armies fight, it will only allow Lu Bu to gain the advantage of the fisherman. If you don't hold a banquet, invite Zhang Ji and Fan Chou to celebrate their achievements, and then capture Fan Chou and kill him during the banquet. Effortless."

After Li reminded, he was overjoyed, and immediately acted according to the plan, and sent a letter to inform Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, ordering them to come to Chang'an.Although Zhang Ji and Fan Chou didn't know what kind of medicine Li Cui was selling in the gourd, Li Cui was their lord at this time, and they dared not disobey.After Zhang Ji and Fan Chou came, Li Cui hosted a banquet for Zhang Ji and Fan Chou.The second general went to the banquet with Xin Ran.

Halfway through the wine, Li Jue suddenly changed color and shouted.

"Fan Chou, I give you a lot of power and trust in you. Why do you communicate with Lu Bu and plot rebellion?!"

Fan Chou was startled. It turned out that this was a banquet for a Hong family. He secretly thought that my life was over, but I didn't have time to reply.Seeing the swordsman rushing out, he beheaded Fan Cong and put him on the case. Zhang Ji was so frightened that he fell to the ground and begged Li to spare his life.

Li Jue's face was splattered with several bloods, and he looked a little ferocious. He helped Zhang Ji up and said coldly.

"Fan Chou conspired against me, so I punished him. You are my confidant, why should you be afraid? As long as you are loyal to me and don't disagree, I will never harm you!"

Zhang Ji hurriedly raised his hand and made an oath that if he had two intentions, he would die a terrible death.After listening to Li's reminder, his complexion improved a little, and he comforted Zhang Ji a few more words, and sent Fan Chou's army under Zhang Ji's command.

Li Cui's suspiciousness and moodiness made Zhang Ji uneasy, and Zhang Ji didn't know when Li Cui would have murderous intentions towards him. After staying in Chang'an for a few days, he made up a random excuse and went back to Hongnong.At the same time, soldiers and horses were sent to take over, fan Chou's soldiers and horses in Jingzhao.

After the news that Fan Chou communicated with Lu Bu and was urged to kill by Li, the entire Chang'an City seemed to be covered with a storm.Many Liangzhou generals were worried, especially the friendship between Guo Si and Fan Chou, which was well known.If Li Cui wanted to kill Fan Chou, if he didn't discuss it with him beforehand, he must have become suspicious of him. Even if he didn't, it also showed that Li Cui didn't trust him, Guo Si.

Guo Si is not a person who just sits and waits to die, he is afraid that Li Cui will also kill him, so he immediately found his confidant and began to discuss how to guard against Li Cui.

So far, Li Cui and Guo Si are on the same page on the surface, but they are on guard against each other secretly.However, Li Cui and Guo Si have almost the same military strength in Chang'an, so they are equal in power and power.Therefore, once there is a rift between the two, it will definitely bring about a huge storm in the future.

And because of the rift between the two, the conquest of Lu Bu was temporarily shelved.In this regard, Li Ru, Xu Rong and other civil and military officials who wanted to avenge Dong Zhuo were helpless.Li Ru wanted to repair the relationship between Li Cui and Guo Si, but they didn't listen to his advice.After Li Ru had no choice but to discuss with Xu Rong, he decided to win people's hearts secretly and gather a group of soldiers. If Li Cui and Guo Si really turned against each other, they would have made arrangements earlier, and they would not have suffered and died because of it.

A few days later, in Shangluo County.

Lu Bu heard that Fan Chou had been killed, Li Cui and Guo Si did not send troops to attack Shangluo in the past few months, his face was filled with joy, and he admired Chen Gong beside him even more.

"Gongtai's estrangement plan is indeed ingenious. Fan Chou was killed without any effort. Moreover, Fan Chou and Guo Si had a good relationship. When Fan Chou was killed, Guo Si must have become jealous of Li Cui. And Li Cui would also Because of Fan Chou's incident, he became suspicious of Guo Bang, so the day when the two turned against each other is not far away."

"One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, let alone humans. Humans are sometimes more terrifying than beasts and giant birds. My lord, you should prepare early and rest your troops. Once Li Cui and Guo Bang fight, Chang'an will be in chaos.

In this way, the lord can take advantage of this to send troops to rescue the current emperor, help the world with loyalty, and restore the Han Dynasty.In this way, the lord's reputation will be revived, and the world's heroes will flock to vote. At that time, the lord will gather more troops to fight for disobedience.The lord occupies righteousness and has unparalleled courage. Who else in the world can resist the lord's edge! "

Chen Gong suddenly opened his mouth, and his whole body was devoid of righteousness.However, Lu Bu was not affected by his bold words and ambitions. In Lu Bu's heart, the Han Dynasty had already existed in name only.

"Gongtai, this is a big matter, let me think about it for now. And I received information that Bingzhou has fallen into Wen Bufan's hands. At this time, Bingzhou has just been established, and Wen Bufan's soldiers and horses in Bingzhou are exhausted. Wen Bufan Bufan hoarded a huge amount of food in the east of the river, and the people in the east of the river are rich, and at this time, the troops in the east of the river are empty, if I get the east of the river, why worry about the uncertainty of the world?!"

Chen Gong's eyes changed suddenly, he pressed towards Lu Bu fiercely, and shouted in a concentrated voice.

"No!! Absolutely not!!! Wen Bufan has newly acquired Bingzhou, and has recruited a large number of Baibo thieves and Bingzhou officials. There are [-] to [-] soldiers in Bingzhou. Moreover, Wen Bufan repelled Qianghu a few months ago, and his momentum was shocking. My God, I am praised by scholars all over the world. If my lord sneaks into Hedong at this time, I will definitely gain more notoriety!"

"How can a man only care about his reputation when he has a foothold in the world. As long as he has food and wealth, he can create a heroic army. In the current troubled times, if he wants to achieve hegemony, soldiers are the king!"

"My lord! In the past Dong thief stole an unknown amount of gold and silver from Luoyang, all of which were placed in Chang'an. Now my lord, just wait for Li Cui and Guo Si to bite each other, send troops to calm down, and rescue the current sage. Not only can we win all Reputation, you can get endless gold and silver! Why do you have to settle for the next best thing and attack Hedong!"

"Enough! I, Lu Fengxian, have made a decision, so no further discussion is allowed!"

Lu Bu slapped the table case, almost shattering the table case. There was a loud bang, which made the guards in front of the hall tremble.But Chen Gong had no fear, looked directly at Lu Bu, and shouted unrelentingly.

"My lord!!!!"

"Chen Gongtai!! I am your lord!!! You are so disrespectful and disobedient to me, do you want to rebel!!"

Chen Gong seemed to have seen through all of Lu Bu's thoughts, stepped up step by step, and walked into Lu Bu.

"My lord, you are so obsessed with Hedong because you are only a woman. For this reason, you don't hesitate to ignore the current emperor and the great cause of the society. This rare opportunity in the millennium is missed, no matter how rare it is. In this way, you and the past Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu, is so different!"

"Chen!! Public!! Taiwan!!

Lu Bu knew that he wanted to send troops to Hedong, and he couldn't hide it from Chen Gong, but he didn't expect Chen Gong to tell it to his face.Lu Bu was angry and annoyed, and the blood in his whole body was rushing violently.But in Chen Gong's eyes, the tragedy and generosity made Lu Bu really unable to show his heart.And when Shangluo was besieged back then, if Chen Gong hadn't come up with a plan, Lu Fengxian wouldn't be as glamorous as he is today. He might have already been defeated and the city would have been defeated, leading dozens of defeated soldiers to linger somewhere.

Lu Bu took a few deep breaths of air to suppress the exuberant anger.Lu Bu, who is unparalleled in this world, actually had a bit of hurt on his face at this time.
