The Nameless of the Common Clans

The fall out between Li Jue and Guo Bang was faster than Chen Mo imagined. On the eighth day of June, after Guo Bang came out of Li Jue's house, he immediately assembled his troops and launched an attack on Li Jue's house, but Li Jue Jue had been reminded by the Taoist priest and the witch before to strengthen the protection around him. As soon as Guo Si moved, Li Jue immediately noticed it. This also corresponded to what the Taoist priest and the witch said. He immediately felt that Guo Si was like this This was planned for a long time, and he was immediately furious. He immediately gathered his troops and fought with Guo Si in Chang'an City.

On June 12, the two sides fought hard to determine the outcome in Chang'an City. Guo Si took advantage of the chaos and robbed the emperor. When Li Jue found out, the emperor had already been taken away by Guo Si. Li Jue had no choice but to rob the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. The war also spread from the city of Chang'an to the outside of the city. Guo Si led his troops to occupy Wugong and fought with Li Jue in just half a month. In just half a month, there were constant wars, large and small, and the land of Sanfu was filled with victims and blood flowed like rivers.

"General, it's time!" Xinfeng, Zhang Ji's residence, Jia Xu looked at the intelligence sent from the front line and looked at Zhang Jidao with a smile.

"Wen He said to counterattack Chang'an?" Zhang Ji stood up and looked at Jia Xu and asked.

"No, I'm talking about seizing Fan Chou's military power." Jia Xu shook his head. Chang'an can only be broken by Chen Mo. He knew Chen Mo's intentions very well. If Zhang Ji intervened at this time, Chen Mo would probably think that he wanted to seize power. This is definitely not the case. A wise move. Even if Zhang Ji joins Chen Mo in the future, he will be jealous.

"Fan Chou?" Zhang Ji frowned when he heard this. He and Fan Chou had been hypocritical for many years. It was hard to bear to do something now.

"That's right." Jia Xu nodded and said, "There are two ways for Marquis Changling to go to Chang'an. One is to take Feng Yi and cross the Jing River, and the other is to cross Xinfeng. No matter which way you choose, if you choose Fan Chou will not sit idly by when Linghou attacks Chang'an, so he thinks it is the best time to capture Fan Chou at this time."

Li Jue and Guo Bang were busy fighting among themselves and had no time to take care of him. Of the other Xiliang generals, only Hua Xiong, who was stationed in Feng Yi, had the ability to take charge of them. But Jia Xu guessed that it was hard to say who Hua Xiong was turning to at this time. I forgot that Hua Xiong and Chen Mo had a good relationship, but this time Li Guo was fighting, Hua Xiong didn't show any sign at all, which is very intriguing.

Zhang Ji nodded, looked at Jia Xu and said, "But Fan Chou has a lot of troops, how can I seize power?"

"This matter is not difficult. The general can invite Fan Chou to discuss the matter between Li and Guo, and secretly ambush the swordsman and capture him!" Jia Xu said with a smile.

Zhang Ji nodded, and immediately asked Zhang Xiu to invite Fan Chou to come for discussion. At the same time, he asked his trusted aides to hide around with fifty swordsmen and axemen. As soon as he gave his order, he rushed in and captured Fan Chou.

In the afternoon, Fan Chou was invited by Zhang Xiu. In the past two days, Fan Chou has also been a little irritable. He doesn't know whether he should continue to force Chen Mo according to the plan or lead his troops back to break up the fight. Everyone came out with the Grand Master and now controls the three In the auxiliary land, with hundreds of thousands of Xiliang soldiers in hand, they will definitely achieve something if they work together, but now that his family is struggling, Zhang Ji invited him to discuss the matter. Fan Chou also had this intention, so he agreed.

"Why do you think these two people started fighting like this?" Fan Chou sat down with Zhang Ji, drank a glass of wine first, and sighed.

"Brother Fan, I came to you today just for this matter." Zhang Ji looked at Fan Chong seriously and said.

Fan Chou was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Zhang Jida a little confused about the situation: "Isn't it just for this reason that you asked Jinrong to come to me?"

Zhang Ji said in a deep voice: "Brother Fan, since the Grand Master left, dozens of generals, large and small, of the Xiliang Army have divided the territory in Guanzhong. Although Li Jue and Guo Si controlled the court, not only did they do nothing, but now they are fighting against each other. Fighting, do you think we really have a future in this situation?"

"Junrong, what do you mean by this?" Fan Chou's face darkened and he looked at Zhang Jidao.

"It doesn't mean much, it's just that I don't want to follow them like this anymore. You also know the situation in Guanzhong. If this continues, the eight hundred miles of fertile land may become thousands of miles uninhabited." Zhang Ji said in a deep voice.

"You and I are soldiers. How to take care of it is not something we should worry about. We only care about fighting!" Fan Chou looked at Zhang Ji and frowned.

"That's good, but for whom are we fighting? But I can make the decision." Zhang Ji slowly picked up the wine glass in his hand, looked at Fan Chou and said, "You and I have known each other for ten years, Brother Fan, really want to follow Li Jue, Guo Si keeps walking?"

"It seems that Junrong has found Master Ming." Fan Chou leaned back slightly and looked at Zhang Ji with a dangerous light in his eyes.

"What do you think of Marquis Changling?" Zhang Ji looked at Fan Chou and asked.

"Chen Mo?" Fan Chou shook his head and said: "He is not from Xiliang, nor is he an old member of the Grand Master. Fan Chou has only been loyal to the Grand Master and to Xiliang in his life. Chen Mo... is not qualified enough."

Even though Fan Chou is usually easy to talk to, he has a strong sense of rural clique in his heart. Chen Mo is not from Xiliang, so he cannot get his approval.

"Then don't blame Ji for being rude!" Zhang Ji slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground, followed by the swordsman who had been waiting outside the door.

Almost at the same time, Fan Chou suddenly stood up. Before the axe-hand could approach, he had already drawn out the long sword at his waist and stabbed Zhang Ji with the sword.

Zhang Ji is also proficient in martial arts and was well prepared. When he saw Fan Chou stand up, he had already drawn his sword and crossed it with Fan Chou's long sword. However, his strength was not enough after all. The hand holding the sword trembled and was repelled by the force of Fan Chou's blow. , sat down on the mat.

Seeing this, the swordsmen and axemen around him rushed forward. Fan Chou picked up the table in front of Zhang Ji as a weapon and swung it backwards. Several swordsmen who rushed towards him were knocked out. Although this was a hall, there was no space. After all, it is limited, Fan Chou has been on the battlefield for a long time and has extraordinary physical strength. At this moment, he is holding a sword in one hand and turning the table with the other hand. Dozens of swordsmen and axe-wielders were unable to get close for a while. Instead, Fan Chou took advantage of the terrain to beat him back in confusion and even killed him. Several axemen.

"Get out!" Seeing that the swordsmen around him were forced to retreat, Fan Chou threw the table smoothly, knocking several swordsmen off their backs. However, Fan Chou did not advance but retreated, striding towards Zhang Ji, hoping to capture him.

Zhang Ji had also gotten up at this time, holding swords in both hands, and started a fierce fight with Fan Chou. Although he was also proficient in martial arts, he was not as strong as Fan Chou after all. After a few rounds, he could hardly hold the sword in his hand. Fan Chou refused to give in and struck out with his sword. He knocked the sword out of Zhang Ji's hand and reached out to capture Zhang Ji as a hostage. A silver spear suddenly shot out from behind Zhang Ji and went straight to Fan Chou's throat.

"Don't hurt my uncle!" At the critical moment, it was Zhang Ji who came with a silver spear pointed at Fan Chou's vitals.

Fan Chou had no choice but to swing his sword and fight again, but he saw that Zhang Xiu's martial arts skills were still superior to Zhang Ji's. A silver spear burst out with thorns, and there was a bit of elegance in the ferocity. He took full advantage of his advantage of being one inch long and one inch strong. Fan Chou's weapons were incompetent. Hand, there was nothing I could do for a moment.

Zhang Ji on the side also came to his senses at this moment and picked up the long sword from the ground. The uncle and nephew joined forces to force Fan Cong to retreat continuously.

"Seal the way out!" Jia Xu, who came with Zhang Xiu, saw that Fan Chong was fighting and retreating, and was about to exit the hall. He felt bad and quickly ordered the sword and axe-hand to block the door and cut off Fan Chong's retreat.

"Zhang Ji!" Seeing that his life was cut off, Fan Chou became furious and roared. He tried his best to survive Zhang Xiu's shot, but also wanted to get closer and kill Zhang Ji first. He let Zhang Xiu's silver spear pierce his shoulder, and the gun in his hand was shot. However, the long sword struck Zhang Ji with all its strength.

"Uncle, be careful!" When Zhang Xiu saw this, he quickly used the Bengzi Jue. He pressed the gun barrel and stirred the silver gun that had penetrated the opponent's shoulder armor.

No matter how fierce Fan Cou was, he couldn't help but cry out in pain. The force of the sword that struck Zhang Ji dispersed, but Zhang Ji easily blocked it and stabbed Fan Chou's chest smoothly.

"Brother Fan!" Looking at Fan Chou who was stiff, Zhang Ji couldn't bear it. After all, the two of them had known each other for more than ten years, and now they were fighting for life and death, and it was not his wish to end up in this situation.

Fan Cong grinned, but there was a fierce light in his eyes. Seeing something bad, Zhang Xiu pulled out his silver gun. In Fan Cong's angry eyes, a cold star shattered Fan Cong's throat bone. Fan Cong trembled and held the sword with one hand. He froze in place while maintaining his charged posture, and did not fall down for a long time.

"Uncle, he's dead!" Zhang Xiu stepped forward, felt Fan Chou's breath, and turned to look at Zhang Jidao.

Zhang Ji sat down on the ground slumped, looking at Fan Chou's widened eyes, all kinds of feelings surged into his heart.

Jia Xu saw that Fan Chong was still standing and did not know whether he was alive or dead. He did not come in. He hid behind a group of swordsmen and shouted: "General, don't hesitate anymore to seize his military talisman. Seize Fan Chou's military power as soon as possible. If you wait too long, things will change." !”

After all, Fan Chou was here for the banquet. If his cronies learned that Fan Chou was dead and gathered troops to take revenge, there would be a fight. They must seize the military power and kill these cronies before they take action. .

Zhang Ji sighed, stood up, looked at Fan Chou who was still dead, and gave a slight salute: "Brother Fan, don't blame me!"

Fan Chou naturally couldn't say anything else. His burly body had no support, but he slowly fell to the ground, but his body still maintained its previous posture.

"Zhang Xiu obeys the order!" Zhang Ji took a deep breath and looked at Zhang Xiu.

"The general is here!" Zhang Xiu stood up and said loudly.

"According to this list, kill everyone on the list on the spot!" Zhang Ji's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Now that he has reached this point, even if he feels guilty towards Fan Chou, he cannot keep his confidants. The two of them work together For a long time, he naturally knew who of Fan Chou's cronies had the ability to control the army.

"Here!" Zhang Xiu stepped in and saluted, then turned around and left to mobilize his troops, preparing to clear out Fan Chou's remaining party in the Xinfeng camp.

"Sir." After Zhang Xiu left, Zhang Ji looked at Jia Xu, sighed and said, "Sir, please come with me to rein in Fan Chou's troops."

"Here!" Jia Xu nodded slightly. Fan Chou's cronies were gone. It was not difficult to gather the remaining Xiliang army with Zhang Ji's prestige. He readily agreed and went out side by side with Zhang Ji.
