The Nameless of the Common Clans

Chapter 421: Blinded by greed

Lanchi, Wuyi camp.

"General, we just received news that thieves have invaded Huangbaicheng!" Liang Xing quickly came to Wuyi's tent and bowed to Wuyi, who was holding a volume of military books in his hand and looking through them.

"Oh?" Wu Yi raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Where did the Huangbaicheng bandits come from?"

Opening the map, Wu Yi looked at it carefully. Although Huangbaicheng was built on the mountains, the mountains here were not steep. It had been six years since Chen Mo had governed Guanzhong. Although there was no great rule, it had already been settled. The thieves and bandits are all petty. This is the first time in six years that they dare to attack the city under Chen Mo's rule. And if they dare to attack the city, they must have a lot of manpower. With so many bandits appearing out of nowhere, there is naturally a problem.

Wu Yi is now nearly 20 years old and has a son and two daughters. As Chen Mo's confidant general for many years, Wu Yi participated in every battle of Chen Mo and led the troops alone. He learned military training under Gao Shun and Xu Rong. Regardless of how good he is at leading troops, he has never made any mistakes in so many years of fighting in the north and south, and his character is quite stable. This time Chen Mo went to attack Yuan Shao and entrusted the safety of the rear to Wu Yi, which shows that Chen Mo values ​​Wu Yi .

"This... I don't know what will happen." Liang Xing shook his head and lowered his head. He was somewhat panicked when doing such a thing.

"Send someone to investigate the thief first." Wu Yi frowned. He had followed Chen Mo for a long time, and Wu Yi was used to putting information first.

"Well." Liang Xing could only agree, and then wanted to persuade him again: "But Huangbaicheng is in a hurry. If we don't send troops here, Huangbaicheng will be captured..."

"Report~" At this moment, a personal guard rushed in and handed a roll of silk to Wu Yi and said: "General, there is an urgent message from Jingzhao Yin!"

Wu Yi took the silk cloth and opened it. There were many words. Liang Xing came up and wanted to read them together, but Wu Yi stopped him with his eyes. Wu Yi inherited Gao Shun's approach to military management. Military laws were strict and no oversteps were allowed.

Liang Xing could only retreat angrily.

Wu Yi then lowered his head to read the letter sent by Zang Hong, and his brows gradually furrowed.

"General, what happened?" Liang Xing felt something was wrong and bowed and asked.

"Chen Cang and Wu are in a hurry. Zhang Lu in Hanzhong has gone crazy and suddenly led his troops to attack." Wu Yi put the silk cloth directly into his arms, stood up and said: "The thieves in Huangbaicheng are not a small problem, they are nothing to you." Thousands of soldiers and horses will be put down as soon as possible. I will lead the army to Chencang to fight against the Hanzhong soldiers and horses. "

"Three...three thousand!?" Liang Xing looked at Wu Yi in shock. There were 30,000 troops in the Lanchi camp. Wu Yi only gave him three thousand, and the rest of the troops had to be taken away? This is different from the plan. What he wants is the military power of the entire Lanchi Camp.

"Not enough?" Wu Yi frowned and looked at Liang Xing.

Ordinary thieves and three thousand soldiers and horses are all looking up to each other. Liang Xing's momentum suddenly weakened when he saw this, and he nodded and said: "That's enough. It's just that the attack in Hanzhong is unpredictable, so the general must be careful."

"Don't worry." Wu Yi nodded and immediately ordered Lanchi's army to assemble. The food and grass will be ready in the counties along the way. No preparation is needed, and the troops will be sent out that day.

"Huangkou boy, you are brave but not wise, how can you be better than me!?" Looking at the direction of the army leaving, Liang Xing looked at the three thousand soldiers and horses Wu Yi left for him, and gritted his teeth.

When he was under Guo Bin, he was a general and could stand alone. Later, he was demoted to Chen Mo. Chen Mo treated him well. His official position and salary were only much higher than before, but he was serving as deputy general for Wu Yi. Liang Xing was already nearly fifty years old. A veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time now has to serve as a lieutenant for a young man and listen to his orders. This gap is also the reason why Liang Xing chose to betray Chen Mo without hesitation. Xu Rong and Hua Xiong, the dignified generals of Xiliang, can take charge of their own affairs. How could he endure being given the position of deputy general by someone who could be his son or even his grandson?

Wu Yi's army left, but Liang Xing did not immediately mobilize troops to leave the camp. Instead, he sent people to inquire about Wu Yi. It was not until the third day that Wu Yi passed through Chang'an and did not stay. After replenishing food and grass, he continued westward. At the same time, there was also news from Chang'an. When news arrived, Zhang Lu indeed sent General Yang Ren out of Yangping Pass. Chencang and Wudu were in a hurry. Liang Xing was relieved at this time.

Although there are not many soldiers and horses left behind, Wu Yi will not be able to come back in a short time. In addition, Han Xian has 20,000 elite soldiers, and the soldiers in Chang'an can also gather thousands of troops. As long as they can capture Chang'an, they will The cities of the soldiers and their families are in their hands. At that time, not only Wu Yi's soldiers and horses will be instantly disintegrated, but also Chen Mo's army fighting Yuan Shao on the front line will probably fall apart, and Chen Mo will also be completely removed from the princes.

After confirming that Wu Yi had not returned to Chang'an, Liang Xing quickly sent people to Huangbaicheng to inform Han Xian, bypassed Huangbaicheng and headed for Chang'an.

At this time, the city of Chang'an was calm. Zang Hong was sitting on his knees in his office, drinking some wine and playing chess with Li Tai with a smile: "Brother Nian Geng doesn't seem to be here."

"Zi Yuan was joking." Li Tai shook his head and looked at the chess game in front of him seriously, but he was still thinking about the situation. After a moment, he looked at Zang Hong and said, "Zi Yuan, why is Zi Yuan not worried at all about Zhang Lu's invasion?"

"Gao Gao has already led his troops. I have watched this man grow up. He has gone through hardships and has a tough mind. Although he is not as talented as the master, he is willing to work hard. Now he has experienced hardships and the pain of battles, and he has the air of a general. "Zhang Lu's attack this time is nothing more than testing the strength of our army. As long as he responds in time, Zhang Lu will not dare to go too far." Zang Hong shook his head. Gao was his nickname for Wu Yi, and he had been with Chen Mo since he was a child. , he is also a enterprising type, and now he has the air of a general, so he is naturally not worried, and believes that Wu Yi can understand the meaning of his letter.

"But I'm too worried." Li Tai nodded and said no more.

"Many things in the world shouldn't happen in the first place. It's just because people are too greedy and want more things that they don't have in the first place. That's why the world is constantly warring. Does Brother Nian Geng think so?" Zang Hong asked with a smile while making a move. .

"I admire what Ziyuan has learned." Li Tai nodded.

"Brother Nian Geng..." Zang Hong suddenly raised his head, looking at Li Tai with deep eyes that made his heart tingle.

"Why is Ziyuan looking at me like this?" Li Tai was a little flustered and asked reluctantly pretending to be calm.

"You lose." Zang Hong's stone fell, leaving a white piece on the chessboard empty.

Li Tai was slightly startled, looked down at the chessboard, shook his head with a wry smile, and admitted defeat: "I can't compare to Ziyuan's chess skills."

"Brother Nian Geng has too many distracting thoughts in his mind. He is in the middle of the chess game but refuses to jump out and watch, so it will be difficult to win." Zang Hong shook his head while collecting his pieces and sighed: "If brother Nian Geng is willing to let go of his mind and concentrate on playing chess, he may not be able to win." Will lose so quickly."

"If you lose, you lose. There are still some things to do in the house, so I'll leave first." Li Tai stood up and smiled at Zang Hong, holding his hands in front of him.

"I'll see Brother Nian Geng off." Zang Hong stood up.

"No need."

"I want it."

While the two were being polite to each other, Zang Hong sent Li Tai out of the government office. It wasn't until he got on his carriage that Li Tai breathed a sigh of relief, and his upright figure became a little stooped. A gust of cold wind hit him from the window, and Li Tai breathed a sigh of relief. Tai felt a chill on his back and couldn't help but shudder, but the clothes on his back had been soaked by Han water at some point.

Looking back at the direction of the government office, Li Tai always felt that there was something hidden in Zang Hong's words just now, and he meant something, but he couldn't figure out what he meant.

He thought about his plan carefully, and then thought about the current situation. There was no possibility of failure for him. He immediately dismissed these distracting thoughts in his mind and snorted: "Mysterious!"

Now urging the coachman to drive away, what if he is good at chess? You are a person with a false reputation! Insufficiency and conspiracy!

Zang Hong watched the carriage drive away slowly. Yang Mao and Yang Qing's father and son walked out from behind him. They looked at the leaving carriage and bowed, saying, "Sir, why don't you take the opportunity to capture this person?"

"Not enough!" Zang Hong shook his head.

"What do you mean, sir?" Yang Mao asked confused.

"One Li Tai is not enough." Zang Hong said with a smile: "There are many people in Guanzhong who think like Li Tai. Killing just one Li Tai is not enough to scare everyone. I want to find out all those who participated in this." !”

Yang Mao nodded when he heard this. Although killing may not eliminate all hidden dangers, as long as the killing is ruthless enough, it will be enough to make those who are careful not to show their fangs. In this way, at least it will be guaranteed before the decisive battle between Chen Mo and Yuan Shao. , the rear is stable. As long as Chen Mo wins this battle, these hidden instability will also be stabilized.

Zang Hong believed that his disciples would definitely be able to defeat Yuan Shao!

"In the past few days, there has been chaos in Chang'an. In these places, the Supreme Society has been leaving soldiers and horses along the way. General Yang, take this order and go to receive it. Let Yang Qing secretly bring the soldiers and horses back to Chang'an!" Zang Hong will The order arrow was handed to Yang Mao. This was left to him by Chen Mo, specifically for use against Lanchi's army. In the absence of Chen Mo and Wu Yi, the person holding this order was respected.

"Here!" Yang Mao bowed, took the order arrow, and left the government office with Yang Qing.

Zang Hong glanced at the direction Li Tai was leaving again and shook his head: "It's really a shame. Under the support of Chen Mo's policies, the Li family had signs of catching up with the Huangfu family. As long as Li Tai manages carefully and catches up with the Huangfu family, Becoming a member of the Guanlong clan is not It's impossible. It's a pity that Li Tai wants more and has no sense of loyalty and gratitude. In this case, Chen Mo can make his family stronger, and naturally he has the ability to make his family fall into the dust. This time, as long as Li Tai takes action, the Li family will be wiped out. The clan has no choice but to run away.

It's not that Chen Mo or Zang Hong are cruel, but that the most intolerable thing for any monarch is this kind of betrayal. Moreover, as the biggest beneficiary of Chen Mo's policies, Li Tai chose to dig into Chen Mo's roots at this time. The Li family may Because of this, Chen Mo, who gave the Li family a chance to rise, will be completely wiped out if Li Tai succeeds. Even Chen Mo's family will perish. How can we not be cruel to such a person?

It’s your own fault!

Zang Hong shook his head, shook his sleeves, turned around and went straight back to the office. I am afraid he will be very busy in the next few days.

Well, it’s the third update today, that’s what I said
