Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 797
Xu Shu said shamelessly: "To be honest, the general guarding Neiguan is not a general of His Majesty's direct line, but a student who graduated from Liaozhou College. As far as I know, after Liu An ascended the throne, he immediately expressed his allegiance to Liu An. They belong to Liu An, and you know, General Long, that Neiguan is the lifeline connecting Youzhou and Liaozhou, so how could this important military land fall into Liu An's hands!"

"You mean to take Neiguan by force?"

Long Jian looked at Xu Shu in surprise.

"What are you talking about, robbery? General Long, you have lived enough, but I still want to live!"

Xu Shu said dissatisfied.

"Then what do you mean? If you don't snatch it, can he still take the initiative to give you the Neiguan?"

Long Jian was also dissatisfied, pouted and asked.

"Hey, General Long, use your brain, outsmart, we want to outsmart!"

Xu Shu only wrote in his own head and said.

"Don't play charades, okay? You can just say, how can I help you, I will do my best, but you have to promise me that this matter cannot be discovered by Liu An, otherwise it will not only be the brains of you and me. Bao, even our family members will lose their heads!"

"General Long, don't worry, the guard of the Neiguan is named Chu Ning, I have figured out his weaknesses, listen to me and tell you slowly!"

Sitting beside Long Jian, Xu Shu said slowly: "This Chu Ning was born in a large family in Liaozhou, but he is a collateral lineage, not a direct lineage, so he attaches great importance to fame and fame, which is why he immediately showed his favor to Liu An after Liu An ascended the throne. s reason!"

"Does this have anything to do with his weakness?"

Long Jian asked back.

"Listen to what I have to say!"

Xu Shu rolled his eyes at Long Jian, and then continued: "Although this Chu Ning's family background is not very good, his parents are still there, and he is very filial. , we will go to Neiguan this time to divide our troops into two groups. The two of us will go to Neiguan to find him. As General Long, he will definitely receive him personally. On the other side, we will send someone to put his parents under house arrest. Let him hand over Neiguan's Tiger Talisman, put him under house arrest, and control Neiguan!"

"good idea!"

Long Jian praised.

"It's not too late, let's go to Neiguan immediately!"

Before Xu Shu was in a hurry to leave, Long Jian couldn't wait, stood up and pulled Xu Shu to go out.

"Ah, ah, slow down, my old bones can't bear to be torn like this!"

Xu Shu was almost dragged by Long Jian.

"move!"

Long Jian didn't care so much, he asked his groom to carry two horses, pushed Xu Shu onto the horse's back, drove the horse out of the city, went to the barracks and ordered [-] skilled convincing troops, and went straight to Neiguan. go.

Xu Shu was so tossed by Long Jian that he almost lost his temper, and immediately scolded Long Jian: "You reckless man, the old man's wrist is red by you, look at it, look at it!"

"Oh, Mr. Xu, those who make big things don't care about small things, just bear with it. After this incident, I will make amends to you. I will set up two tables for you in the best restaurant in Xiangping. I will kowtow to make amends for you!"

Long Jian was originally a very patient and patient person, but after being with Liu Wei for a long time, his temper has become anxious, especially now that he has to do this kind of thing that will lose his head if he doesn't pay attention, he is even more afraid of delaying it. change.

"Humph!"

Xu Shu snorted coldly, turned his head aside, and didn't look at Long Jian.

"hey-hey!"

Long Jian smiled and scratched his head in embarrassment, but he scratched on the helmet instead.

Xu Shu was exhausted after a day's rapid march, but Long Jian continued to march, which made Xu Shu very angry.

"Long Jian, you really want my life, if you want to go, go, I won't go without saying anything!"

Xu Shu jumped off the horse and sat on the ground, unable to get up.

"Since Mr. Xu is tired, let's set up camp here and deal with it for one night!"

Long Jian also knew that he couldn't go too far, he would regret it if he made Xu Shu sick.

"You still have some conscience!"

After Xu Shu snorted, he wrapped himself in a woolen blanket and sat on the ground. When the soldiers set up the tent, Xu Shu went right inside and fell asleep.

"Oh, he's old too!"

Looking at Xu Shu's tired figure, Long Jian muttered to himself.

That's right, more than 30 years have passed in a flash, and Xu Shu has changed from the suave and handsome man to a bad old man.

I don't know if Liu Wei can rule the world in his lifetime. Also, if Liu An usurps the throne, if Liu Wei fights back, even if he can spare his life, it is absolutely impossible to make him the crown prince again, but all of Liu Wei's sons Among them, only Liu An is the most outstanding, and who Liu Wei will make as the crown prince is still unknown.

Thinking of these things, Long Jian also fell asleep.

The next day, after another day of rapid marching, Long Jian and Xu Shu arrived outside the Neiguan before the sun set at noon.

Before the guards could ask questions, Long Jian raised his badge and shouted, "Xiangping Tiefutu Garrison General Long Jian is here to check the gate, quickly open the gate!"

"General Long, please wait a moment, I will report to General Chu right away!"

The soldiers who closed the gate trotted all the way, and informed Chu Ning when they entered the customs.

After Chu Ning learned that Long Jian had come in person, he hurried out of the customs to greet him.

"The last general, Chu Ning, pay respects to General Long!"

"Free gift!"

"Here!"

After the ceremony, Chu Ning got up and asked: "General Long came to my Neiguan suddenly, but is there something urgent?"

Long Jian had already thought up his speech, and said, "Your Majesty's blood change in the army has caused panic among the sergeants and soldiers, and many unruly people have mixed into the army. Neiguan is the throat connecting Youzhou and Liaozhou. I came here this time to check the military situation in Neiguan!"

"So that's it, Lord Long, please enter the customs!"

After learning about Long Jian's intentions, Chu Ning stretched out his hand and invited Long Jian to enter.

"It's getting late today, let's talk about the investigation tomorrow! The general is a little tired, take me to eat something first!"

After entering the city, Xu Shu made a gesture to Long Jian. Long Jian understood the meaning and asked Chu Ning to take him to dinner.

"Here!"

Chu Ning was stunned by Long Jian's words. What are the meanings? If he didn't check the post and asked him to take it to dinner, could it be that he wanted to bribe him, but although this Neiguan is rich, it is not enough for Long Jian to run away by himself. Come to ask for money.

"General Long, this way please!"

Chu Ning couldn't guess what Long Jian was thinking, so he had to take Long Jian to dinner first.

"It's enough for me to go with you, and it's enough for my brothers to eat by themselves!"

As soon as Long Jian waved his hand, the soldiers brought by Xu Shu and Long Jian turned around and left. Just as Chu Ning was about to stop him, he found that Long Jian was staring at him. He nodded and bowed hastily and said, "Okay, General Long, this way please!"

"Well, let's go!"

Long Jian followed Chu Ning with a dozen guards.

On the other side, Xu Shu led his soldiers to Chu Ning's house.
