Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 116 Movie Emperor
After all the preparations were done, Zhou Cang no longer kept a low profile, and first sent someone to Chang'an to report to Li Jue and others: General Zhou Cang paid homage to the emperor and paid his respects to the emperor.Then he showed his flag of General Dangkou, and slowly marched towards Chang'an City.

On the way, Zhou Cang asked Liu Li to bribe Li Jue's sorcerers with a lot of money, so that he would just say one word when he next fortune-telling: if there is old help, it can be foreign aid.Then Liu Li was asked to leave Guanzhong and go to Woniugang on the way, and Zhou Fu was asked to take all the soldiers to Luoyang to meet up in Luoyang in three months. Zhou Cang also asked Zhou Gui and Zhou Chong to buy grain and grass from big households along the way for storage.

Li Jue is very upset now, Guo Si and Fan Chou are too restless and always want to challenge his elder brother's status.After Fan Chou's death, his own strength increased greatly, but why did Guo Si insist on fighting against him? It's hard for him to still treat him as a brother. Originally, his own power was greater than Guo Si, and the two armies could still gain the upper hand in a confrontation.The two brothers Yang Ding and Yang Feng actually rebelled after eating inside and outside, and their own strength was greatly damaged, so that they could not defeat Guo Si.This Guo Bang is also really hateful, seeing the emperor in his camp, he detained all the officials of the court, and made it clear that he would fight Li Jue to the end.There is also Zhang Ji, who used to be respectful in front of me. When he saw me fighting with Guo Bang, he led troops from Shaanxi to mediate, and he was clearly bullying me. Now that there are few soldiers.Speaking of the small number of soldiers, there are really not many. After several fights, there are only 3 men left, and only [-] cavalry can really fight.

The more Li Jue thought about it, the more hateful he became, and the more he thought about it, the more troubled he became. When he counterattacked Chang'an, he had 10 people under his command alone. How could there be only [-] people left after taking Chang'an?He recruited a sorcerer for divination, and the sorcerer pretended to be a ghost for a while, and found a tortoise shell and yarrow, and came up with a sentence: if there is old people to help, it can be foreign aid.Li Jue was both happy and puzzled, did someone come to help him?Who could it be?

Within two days, his subordinates came to report: Zhou Cang, the general of the bandits in Xuzhou, came to pay homage to the emperor. He had passed Wuguan and entered Lantian, and he will arrive in Chang'an soon.First send someone to inform Da Sima.

Zhou Cang?Li Jue did know him, he had fought together in Xiliang, and his impression was not bad, he was a fierce general, and quite strategic.It's just that Zhou Cang has always been in close contact with Niu Fu, but not with others. "Old people help each other, but foreign aid" Is it him who is talking about?

Li Jue asked, "Did he ever have soldiers and horses?"

"About 2000 people, including about [-] cavalry."

Li Jue murmured in his heart: There are not many soldiers, so we can't make any troubles.However, what is he doing here at this time?A few days ago, I received letters from Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, both of whom recommended Zhou Cang as the prefect of Guangling. It seems that Zhou Cang is very popular with the princes and is the object of competition.But when I received the seal, I didn't think too much about it, and I didn't pay attention to it. It seems that it is not simple. Guangling is under the rule of Xuzhou. They recommended Guangling prefect. Could it be that they want to play Xuzhou's idea?Let them fight, the more chaotic the better, the more chaotic they are, the more secure the pass will be.

Back then, I was taken care of under Niu Fu's command. With this relationship, I might as well win over Zhou Cang and keep it for my use.Li Jue made up his mind and sent his nephew Li Xian out of Chang'an to pick up Zhou Cang, but Zhou Cang's soldiers and horses were not allowed to enter the city, waiting for his order, and then he did not forget to reward the sorcerers.

Two days later, Li Siam reported that Zhou Cang had camped outside the city, and Li Jue made an appointment to meet in Bashang.Bashang, a place where Hongmen Banquet is the easiest place to think of first, a good place for negotiation and murder.

On that day, Zhou Cang only brought Chen Dao and two or three attendants to meet Li Jue, and Li Jue held Zhou Cang's hand and said, "The country of Wei will not come here without any harm."

Zhou Cang replied: "It's been nearly six years since we left Xiliang, and Da Sima still has the same demeanor, but he has more domineering spirit."

Well said, Li Jue laughed heartily, and after the two sat down, Li Jue said: "General Niu Fu also praised you for your bravery and strategy when he was there, but it is a pity that he cannot be reused under Tao Qian's command, but you still feel grateful for his kindness .”

Zhou Cang said sadly: "Oh, General Niu Fu has taken care of me so much, recruited soldiers and horses for me, and provided for my military funds. Even I, a general who is a bandit, was recommended by him. I didn't expect that now two lives away, I can't tolerate it." I will repay his kindness, Zhou Cang is ashamed."

When Li Jue heard this, he thought to himself that Zhou Cang was also nostalgic this week, and he still remembered Niu Fu's kindness. "Does Weiguo have other intentions in coming to pay homage this time?"

Zhou Cang said: "Back then I was also in conflict. Master Tao had the grace to reinvent me, and General Niu had the righteousness to support and support me. I was in a dilemma. Later, I also felt that General Niu was appreciated by Mr. Dong, and Master Sima was by his side. Zhou Cang was insignificant. And Mr. Tao is old and lacks manpower, so he went to Xuzhou with Mr. Tao. There are so many changes in the future, and every time I think about it, I feel ashamed."

Zhou Cang said again: "Since arriving in Xuzhou, Master Tao has mostly used Xuzhou gentry, sent the last general to station in Pengcheng, and gradually alienated him. Seeing that the princes of the Guandong conquered each other, Master Tao is old and his time is numbered. You will lose your place of shelter. Now the Kwantung princes also try to win over the last general, but the last general is a general of the Han Dynasty, he should obey the king's order, so he came to Chang'an to pay homage to the emperor."

Li Jue was blinded by Zhou Cang's superb acting skills. After all, Zhou Cang said that nine points are true and only one point is false.Hehe, if you say that you are a Han general, you probably want to increase your status.

"There is no need to worry about Wei Guo, I will introduce you." Li Jue only thought that Zhou Cang was frustrated in Xuzhou and worried about his future. People and horses can overwhelm Guo Bang again. "Weiguo will stay in Beijing and serve under my command. I will protect you as a high-ranking official."

"Thank you, Lord Sima." Zhou Cang said gratefully, "To tell the truth, Sima, Zhou Cang has only brought more than 2000 soldiers, and there are [-] elite soldiers in Pengcheng. The food and grass accumulated for several years are only because of Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and others. The princes blocked the way and could not come."

Hearing this, Li Jue's eyes turned green. Now there is a shortage of soldiers, horses, food and grass. With so many soldiers, horses, food and grass, who is he afraid of in Guanzhong?I hate Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, the two vicious dogs. Have you ever heard that a good dog doesn't block the way?However, what if Zhoucang brings people, horses, food and grass without his control.Zhou Cang watched Li Jue contemplating, and felt happy in his heart: I just spotted your little belly.

Li Jue hesitated for a while and said: "We will discuss this matter later, and you will worship the emperor with me tomorrow. There are still Guo Si and Zhang Ji in the city. These two are not good people. You should be careful and stay away from them, otherwise I can't save you either. Then there are the ministers who are far away from the court, those people are very dark, and they look friendly on the surface, one by one, stabbing people in the back, don't blame me for not reminding you."

This can be regarded as a blatant threat and warning, Zhou Cang nodded and said: "Some of them are under the command of Da Sima."
