Great Military Division

Chapter 382 Ma Teng and Han Sui: Celebration Banquet?

In the dark, damp prison full of decay, Yuan Di was lying on a couch covered with hay, with his hands on his pillow, and turned his head to glance at the dark prison not far away:

"Brother, although you can't speak, it's actually quite happy to hear you hum a few words. After so many days, I feel that you are quite a nice person."

"Woooooo!"

In the prison not far away, there was a humming response.

Yuan Di naturally understood what the other party meant, smiled, and continued: "I really don't know how a person like you was arrested by the school affairs office, and what mistakes did he make?"

"To be honest, I used to be really curious, but every time you came back, you were covered in wounds and beaten to death, so I'm not curious anymore, anyway, you can't tell."

"woo woo woo woo-"

Li Ru responded to Yuan Di in various ways.

After such a long time of communication, the other party has been able to understand what he means.

"You want to ask sister?"

"Woooo!"

"it is good!"

Yuan Di promised, turned sideways, and faced the dark prison not far away: "Today I will talk to you about my sister, she is a famous and strange woman in Guangling."

"I think back then, when I was only 20 years old, I met my elder sister. At that time, she should have just been sold to a brothel, and her piano skills are truly outstanding."

"More than half of the men in Guangling City go to the brothel to listen to her music. Of course I am one of them, and I am also a very famous one."

"but."

"."

During the several months of contact with Yuan Di, Li Ru found that Yuan Di would always mention a woman from a brothel, whom he affectionately called "Sister", who was supposed to be slightly older than him in terms of age.

This is very strange.

After all, in Yuan Di's current situation, he didn't think about his parents, relatives, or even his children, but was only interested in a brothel girl, which is really incredible.

Hence.
Li Ru induced Yuan Di in various ways to talk about this woman's situation, and then regularly passed the news to Guo Jia in order to find the relevant flaws of this person.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

"Are you asking where she is?"

"Woooo!"

"I don't know where she is. Anyway, as long as she can live, we can raise our children together. Anyway, she has enough food and clothing, and she can't spend her lifetimes."

"Woooooo?"

"Why can't I have a child? It's also fortunate that I gave birth to a child with my elder sister. Otherwise, if the dog emperor destroys my Guangling Chen family this time, why not kill my child too?"

"Woooo!"

"I'm already content. Anyway, there is still a son in this world. At least there is no heir. Even if he dies, he is willing to die without any scruples."

"."

Just as the two were chatting in this way.

Squeak-!
The prison door opened, and two jailers entered from the outside as usual.

Yuan Di turned over and sat up suddenly, and opened his mouth to curse at the two guards: "Aren't you still human? You are already dumb, and you want to torture him? There is something that comes at me and kills me, come on!" "

Whoa-!
It's a pity that the jailer ignored Yuan Di at all, opened the prison door directly, dragged Li Ru out of the prison by force, until he disappeared into the darkness.

out of jail.

Li Ru immediately cheered up, brushed aside the messy bun, and asked softly, "Where is Guo Jijiu? I have very important information today, and I want to tell him."

"rest assured."

The jailer gave a bow, and replied calmly: "Today, Guo Jijiu came here in person. If there is anything, you can talk slowly, and no one will bother you."

"it is good."

Li Ru waved his hand: "In that case, let's go."

Follow the jailer all the way forward.

Soon.

Then came to the interrogation room.

Guo Jia waved his hand to signal Li Ru to sit aside for a while, and the food and wine were already prepared: "Wenyou, have you gained anything recently? Especially that sister, maybe it will be the hope of breaking Yuan Di."

"Have!"

Li Ru hurriedly sat down, sipped wine, moistened his throat, and said, "Although Yuan Di didn't reveal the whereabouts of the woman, it's likely to be a widow with a child."

"Oh?"

Guo Jia frowned: "Yuan Di's child?"

Li Ru nodded: "Well, Yuan Di and sister's child."

Guo Jia immediately searched for information in his mind.
Guangling!

Broth!

widow!

child!

rich!

All kinds of information are mixed together, and the scope is rapidly shrinking.

Even Guo Jia himself had some clues, and nodded slowly: "Very well, I will send someone to Guangling to investigate immediately, and I believe there will be results soon."

"Oh, right."

Speaking of this, Guo Jia seemed to think of something, and said softly: "I forgot to tell you that the imperial court has already captured the east of the river, shattering Yuan Kai's fantasy of opening up Bingzhou and Jizhou."

"According to the current intelligence, Yuan Wei is bound to make a final struggle. We must obtain evidence of Yuan Wei's crime before launching a general attack."

Li Ru asked anxiously: "Where is the "Yuan Shilu", have you found it?"

If you don’t mention this, let’s just let it go. When mentioning this, Guo Jia became angry: "Your friend Wei Zhan was killed, and the "Yuan Shilu" was divided into two. Now the first half volume is in Yuan Kai’s hands, and the second half volume In the hands of a woman named Ali."

"And this Ali has already fled to Hanzhong. I heard that he is now in Shu County and has become Lu Yue's personal servant. Liu Yan is very strict with Lu Yue's protection, and we have no way to do anything."

Li Ru was surprised: "There is such a thing?"

"Ah."

Guo Jia nodded and nodded: "Your Majesty also knows about this matter. He has written a personal letter to Liu Yan, hoping that he can send "Yuan Shilu" back to the court. Anyway, this kind of thing cannot be concealed."

"As for whether Liu Yan will agree?"

Guo Jia pondered for a moment, then breathed out: "This old guy has always been ambitious, and he also wanted to be the emperor, but unfortunately he has been living in Yizhou for several years, and his development is not as fast as Nanyang in the past two years. How face is the emperor."

"I hope he will have self-knowledge and turn to the light as soon as possible. Otherwise, the imperial court will have various methods to let him die. This is what His Majesty said personally."

Li Ru frowned: "Is that so?"

From the slightly disappointed eyes of the other party, Guo Jia noticed something strange: "Why, Wen You thinks there is something wrong?"

Li Ru shook his head, and said softly: "There is nothing wrong, just a little impatient. If you get the second half of "Yuan Shilu", you can quickly arrest people, and you can avenge your vengeance."

Guo Jia said with great certainty: "Don't worry, Yuan Kai will die, and even gods can't save him!"

Li Ruyi bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for me."

Guo Jia nodded: "Okay, I will definitely tell His Majesty."

Li Ru got up: "In that case, I'm leaving."

"Don't you want to eat some? Prison food is not good."

"no appetite!"

"Ok."

******
Yizhou, Shu County.

State Shepherd House.

A slightly thin man with deep eye sockets was holding two letters of paper in his hands at the moment, frowning: "Ah Yue, you really gave me a problem."

That's right!

These two letters in Liu Yan's hands.

One from Nanyang;
One from Chang'an;
Now, the two forces are fighting like a raging fire, and it is difficult to distinguish who is superior, but they all sent letters to Liu Yan, asking him to hand over the half volume of books in A Li's hand.

Although Liu Yan had long had the ambition of being an emperor, after he learned that Liu Bian had escaped from the palace, even defeated Dong Zhuo, and created a foundation in Nanyang, he knew that the future of the great man would inevitably be between Liu Xie and Liu Bian. middle.

and himself
Although the ability is there, it is far behind Hongnong King Liu Bian.

Whether he can really become the emperor in the future still needs to continue to be steady and observe.

At such a moment, he was unwilling to provoke Liu Bian and Liu Xie, so as to save himself trouble.

"What did the envoy say, how could Ayue give the envoy a problem."

However, Lu Yue has different views on this kind of thing, even quite different: "This is obviously a beautiful thing, the key depends on how you operate, Shijun."

"Oh?"

Liu Yan frowned, and couldn't help being curious: "What does Ah Yue mean?"

Lu Yue took the two letters from Liu Yan, and said softly: "Don't forget, sir, now Chang'an and Nanyang are begging you, we can safely and boldly raise conditions."

"for example."

Speaking of this, Lu Yue held up Yuan Kai's letter, and said with a sweet smile: "You can take this half volume of books in exchange for your son Zhang'er, and return to Yizhou. I think Yuan Kai will not refuse."

Back then, when Liu Yan and Liu Yu became state shepherds, they all put their sons as hostages in the imperial court. Liu Yu's current embarrassing situation was caused by his sons being hostages in Chang'an.

Liu Yan is naturally aware of this point. Although he is not as affectionate as Liu Yu, if Changan really uses his son as a threat, he will also be more passive.

Liu Yan's eyes brightened, he took Yuan Kai's letterhead, nodded and said, "That's right, now is the time to negotiate terms with Yuan Kai, let him take my son in exchange for this half volume of books."

"but."

When the subject changed, Liu Yan frowned, and asked again: "Given the half volume of the book to Chang'an, wouldn't you offend Nanyang? Although Yuan Kai has great ambitions, the one in Nanyang is not a weak master."

"At present, these two are competing in Hedong. I believe there will be a result soon. If Chang'an wins, it's fine. But if Nanyang wins, didn't we make a wrong bet?"

Although Liu Yan lives in a corner and has been nesting in Yizhou for many years, this does not mean that he does not care about the outside world. In fact, it is just the opposite. He cares about things outside even more than Yizhou.

Whether it was Liu Bian who escaped from the palace, entered Nanyang, and called on the princes in the Ruying area to join the crusade against Dong Zhuo;

None of these things escaped Liu Yan's eyes.

Liu Yan is quite afraid of His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang, even a little afraid.

After all, I didn't participate in Dong Zhuo at the beginning, and I didn't take the initiative to respond to Nanyang, from the direction of Yizhou, to conquer Guanzhong. Once I settle accounts in the future, I'm afraid I won't have a good time.

"Why are you so confused."

Lu Yue was full of confidence and smiled.

"Oh?"

Liu Yan was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly asked: "Could it be that Ah Yue has a way to get the best of both worlds?"

Lu Yue said softly: "My lord, Chang'an and Nanyang only want the half volume of the book. Let's send someone to copy another copy. Both families will give it. Neither family will be offended, and both families will benefit from it." , wouldn't it be wonderful?"

hiss-!
Surprised, Liu Yan gasped.

He nodded slowly, as if enlightened: "Yes! Just copy one copy, anyway, there is no explicit statement in the letter, you can only give it to yourself, not to the other party."

"Hahahaha!"

Liu Yan looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, and hugged Lu Yue into his arms: "Ah Yue, you are really my blessing. I can think of such a plan. I will give you a credit first."

Lu Yue snuggled into Liu Yan's arms: "Then what does the envoy want to reward Yue'er?"

Liu Yan caressed Lu Yue's black hair: "Whatever Ayue wants, just ask, I, Liu Yan, will definitely accept it, and I will never refuse it, so don't worry."

"That's it."

Lu Yue stood up slowly.

She is not an ordinary woman, knowing that the more she is like this, the more she will win Liu Yan's favor: "Master, let's think carefully about what you want from Nanyang."

"this."

Liu Yan frowned, pondered for a moment, and a flash of light flashed in his mind: "Yes! I want soldiers and horses from Nanyang, and they will never set foot in our Yizhou."

"Huh? This"

Lu Yue's eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she was very surprised: "His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang, will you agree?"

Liu Yan pinched a strand of beard under his jaw: "A large part of the people recorded in this book are people directly related to Yuan Kai, and it seems to involve some secrets."

"Now, the decisive battle between Nanyang and Chang'an is imminent. I think the emperor of Nanyang must rush to find the evidence of Yuan Wei's crimes before then, so that the Yuan family can be truly killed."

"so."

Liu Yan nodded slowly according to his own speculation: "Anyway, let's try, in case Nanyang agrees, in this way, I, Liu Yan, can be regarded as an emperor in Yizhou."

"And you!"

Liu Yan stared at Lu Yue with piercing eyes: "It is my queen!"

When Lu Yue heard this, Xia Fei's cheeks suddenly became embarrassing: "I hate it, someone will be your queen."

Liu Yan looked at Lu Yue with a smirk on his face: "Being a queen is the dream of every woman in the world, don't you want it?"

Lu Yue smiled lightly: "Whether you are the emperor or not, I am willing to be with you."

*****
Long County.

Ma Teng and Han Sui barracks.

Chinese army tent.

Ma Teng looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Oh? Really? Chao'er defeated the enemy general, and the court wants to celebrate the two of them? This is a good thing, and we will definitely go."

"That's right!"

Han Sui nodded affirmatively: "Don't worry, General Yang. We will definitely rush to Chang'an to attend the celebration banquet. You can send a messenger here. Why do you have to go there yourself?"

"Two generals."

Yang Zan bowed his body and cupped his hands, smiling all over his face: "This is what Yuan Taifu personally ordered, how dare the general delay, let's go now, after we arrive in Chang'an, your son and son-in-law should come back."

"Leave now?"

Ma Teng was slightly taken aback, frowned, and said in disbelief: "Are you in such a hurry?"

Han Sui on the side was also puzzled: "It's just a celebration banquet, there's no need to be so impatient, right?"

"Of course I'm in a hurry!"

Yang Zan pinched a strand of beard under his chin, and replied according to what Yuan Kai taught him: "To be honest, your son and son-in-law have made great contributions to the court, and they will probably be entrusted with important tasks in the future."

"It's only one day to go to Chang'an to attend the celebration banquet. It is very likely that you will go to Luoyang next time. If you go late, I'm afraid you won't see your son or son-in-law in a short time."

"Impossible"

Yang Zan glanced at the two of them, and asked back, "Don't you want to see them?"

Without hesitation, Ma Teng said with absolute certainty, "Of course! It's just too urgent. There are still important matters in the army that have not been dealt with."

"Whoa!"

Yang Zan didn't take it seriously at all, and waved his hand: "How many things can you have in the army, just let it go for a day, and how many things can be delayed."

"This is the celebration banquet appointed by His Majesty. Is it possible that you are going to resist the order? This is the glory of your whole family. How many people want to come but can't come!"

"Don't blame me for not reminding you."

Yang Zan lowered his voice, and said with great interest: "Your Majesty will always keep in mind the great kindness you have shown your son and son-in-law to survive. Although this time is a celebration banquet for everyone, your son and son-in-law will definitely reward you!"

"This"

Although Ma Teng did not suspect him, Han Sui always felt that something was wrong.

Even if the emperor wants to hold a celebration banquet, they will not be allowed to participate as family members. That is the children's own business.

I'm afraid that it's not just about Ma Chao and Yan Xing, but also about them.

Hard to do.
Will it be forcing your own team?
However, if Chang'an wins in Hedong, it's okay to bet now.

Ma Teng glanced at Han Sui: "Brother Wen Yue, let's go."

Han Sui waved his hand and said, "Since it's His Majesty's order, we should go."

Ma Teng smiled lightly: "Well, it should be so, you can't disobey the order, right, General Yang?"

Yang Zan nodded, "That's right, that's right."

"As it is"

Speaking of this, Yang Zan waved his hand and made an invitation letter: "Two generals, follow me to Chang'an, okay?"

Both of them cupped their hands in unison: "I will stick to my wish, but I dare not invite you."

Yang Zan was overjoyed: "Let's go!"

******
now.

Sili, Chang'an.

Xun You's mansion.

study.

Honglu literature is not a good thing, and Xun You is studying for it.

At this moment, the outside of the study hurriedly turned to the peak, closed the door, stepped forward, with a worried expression: "Gongda, there is a situation."

Xun You couldn't help being curious, put down the scroll, and said softly, "Shiju, don't worry, tell me slowly, what happened?"

Gao Feng frowned and sighed: "I just heard that the palace is holding a banquet. His Majesty the Emperor is going to invite meritorious officials, and Yang Zan has already gone to Long County to invite Ma Teng and Han Sui to the banquet."

"Gongda!"

Even Gao Feng himself could see something was wrong: "The news of Hedong's defeat was blocked by Yuan Kai, and he invited Ma Teng and Han Sui to come over at this time, making it clear that he wanted to attack them."

"you say."

Gao Feng's throat rolled, feeling uneasy: "Will these two people come?"

Xun You suddenly became nervous: "It will definitely come!"

Gao Feng was surprised: "Ah? Why is Gongda so sure?"

"It's simple."

Xun You frowned, and let out a long breath: "Before, Ma Teng and Han Sui had been waiting for the price, waiting for the result of the Battle of Hedong. Now, to entertain the heroes, is to tell Ma Teng and Han Sui that Chang'an has won."

"In this way, the two of them will naturally bet on Chang'an, accept the reward from His Majesty the Emperor Chang'an, and thus completely become members of the Chang'an Han Court. How can they not come!"

Gao Feng nodded approvingly: "If this is the case, what should we do? If Ma Teng and Han Sui die, the [-] elite cavalry in Long County will be recruited in full and become Chang'an's soldiers and horses."

"and"

At this moment, Gao Feng had already thought of other things: "I am afraid that Ma Chao and Yan Xing of Hangu Pass will also be murdered, and Yuan Kai will never let them go."

Xun You is very clear about this.

But
Xun You also has his own difficulties: "We are currently being targeted by Yuan Kai. If we make any further moves at this time, I am afraid that we will be completely exposed."

"If Ma Teng and Han Sui would believe us, it would be fine, but once they persist in their obsession, we will be considered a complete failure, and we will never be able to save them."

"Damn!"

Xun You cursed secretly, and gritted his teeth: "Yuan Kai, this old fox, is really embarrassing for me."

Gao Feng naturally understood Xun You's situation. Ever since Yuan Kai's plan to incorporate Ma Teng and Han Sui was ruined last time, Yuan Kai had been monitoring the high-ranking officials who had been conscripted into the court some time ago.

It was a coincidence that because Xun You was an official of the Jiuqing, he was also under surveillance, but they kept silent recently, which did not arouse suspicion.

But who would have thought.
Just at this time, Yuan Kai played this trick again.

This old fox is forcing himself to do it!

Gao Feng asked anxiously, "Gongda, what should we do next? To save this time, or not?"

Xun You hardly hesitated, and nodded affirmatively: "Save, we must save, otherwise all the efforts we have made before will be in vain?"

"But."

Gao Feng kindly reminded: "Once we take this step, we may be exposed."

Xun You took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm: "We are lurking in Chang'an. The most important thing is to eliminate Yuan Kai. Now the battle of Hedong has been won by the imperial court, which can be said to have established the overall situation."

"The road from Chang'an to Bingzhou has almost been blocked. This place has become a dead place. The significance of our lurking is not as great as before. If we can keep Ma Teng and Han Sui, it will be a great achievement."

Gao Feng nodded humbly: "Okay, I understand. Don't worry, Gongda, we will do our best. Just give the order, and we will do what you tell us to do."

"Don't worry."

Xun You sat aside calmly, with his eyes slightly closed: "Let me think about it, what should I do to minimize casualties!"

"it is good."

Gao Feng nodded.

Since then, he has stepped back and waited for news from Xun You.

About an hour later, Xun You took out a piece of paper from the side, and drew on it. I don't know what he was thinking about. About twenty sheets of paper were wasted, and he took a deep breath:
"Shiju."

Xun You said hello.

"exist."

Gao Feng rushed up to meet him: "Gongda, do you have an order?"

Xun You nodded and sighed lightly: "The victory or defeat depends on one action, let's move on."

"Miaozai, it's really wonderful."

"You go and arrange it. Once there is news, report it immediately, and there must be no mistakes."

"Here."
