The Nameless of the Common Clans

"What does General Cui want from me?" At night, Zhu Sheng, Huang Li and others were summoned by Cui Geng to the hall for discussion.

"What's the matter?" Cui Geng motioned for everyone to sit down, shook his head and sighed: "You and I are not new soldiers. General Zhu, if you have any dissatisfaction with me, you can just say it. It's not good to use the safety of Wancheng against me like this. It’s too much.”

Zhu Sheng glared at several generals fiercely. He naturally knew what Cui Geng was talking about. He had never planned to do so. He looked at Cui Geng again and said, "I will tell everyone about this matter, but General Ye Qing and Cui Geng Don't use these unflattering tricks again, otherwise, even I won't be able to suppress this military spirit!"

"What do you mean?" Cui Geng frowned when he heard this.

Next to Zhu Sheng, a general sneered: "General Cui, the matter has come to this, why do you need to be so pretentious?"

"Although Cui is not a hero, he has a clear conscience about what he has done!" Cui Geng said coldly.

"Really? Then what's the point of asking Cui Quan to lobby for us to join your army?" The general said coldly, regardless of Zhu Sheng's obstruction.

"Uncle?" Cui Geng frowned when he heard this and turned to look at Cui Quan beside him.

"This..." Upon seeing this, Cui Quan's expression changed and he laughed dryly: "I thought... that was what Bo Lun meant."

Cui Geng frowned and looked at Cui Quan. After a moment of silence, he turned to Zhu Sheng and said, "General Zhu, this is a family matter of my Cui family. Can you let me handle it? In addition, since this matter has happened, Cui has no shame in continuing to be in charge of Wancheng." After sealing the seal, the general will temporarily guard the city, and everything will be done with the overall situation in mind. As for this matter, Cui will definitely give you an explanation, how about it? "

With that said, Cui Geng directly handed over his general seal, looked at Zhu Sheng and said: "Now that the Jingzhou army is approaching the city, if we have internal strife at this time, our relatives will suffer and our enemies will be angry. Wancheng cannot allow any loss!"

Zhu Sheng was startled and looked at the General Seal handed over by Cui Geng. He did not expect Cui Geng to give up his rights so happily. He hesitated for a moment and looked at Cui Geng and said: "General, you don't have to be like this..."

"If I don't hand over the general's seal, all the generals will have a grudge after all. And in the final analysis, this matter has something to do with me. I am not suitable to continue to take over the general's seal, both publicly and privately." Cui Geng shook his head. After delivering the seal to Zhu Sheng, Su Rong said: "This matter started because of me, and it will end on my own. General, please temporarily take charge of this seal for me. I will investigate this matter and give you an explanation." Before this, I just ask you to put aside all the past grudges and defend Wancheng. Liu Bei has newly captured Jingzhou. The Jingzhou army is not yet committed and its foundation is not stable. As long as it can hold for a few days, Liu Bei will have no choice but to retreat when General Wen Yuan returns. "

Zhu Sheng looked at Cui Geng for a long time, then nodded silently and said: "That's fine, I will temporarily take over the military affairs for the general, and I will ensure that Wancheng is not lost!"

Cui Geng nodded, looked at the other generals, and bowed deeply: "This matter is all caused by me. Now that Cui has given up his general seal, he also hopes that you can put aside your past grudges and focus on defending against the enemy!"

Cui Geng's actions have dissipated a lot of the resentment that the generals had for the previous incident. Now that they saw Cui Geng saluting them, they all clasped their fists at Cui Geng, and then they left under the leadership of Zhu Sheng.

"Geng Jin!" After the generals left, Cui Geng ignored Cui Quan, who looked uncertain, and shouted to the door.

"The last general is here!" A guard general came in. This person was one of the four guards who followed Cui Geng after Yuyang broke out. Because of his good ability, he was temporarily promoted to a guard general by Cui Geng. .

"Go..." Cui Geng called him to his side. After whispering, he looked at him and said, "Hurry!"

"Here!" Geng Jin glanced at Cui Quan, turned around and left.

"My dear nephew, why are you looking at me like this?" After Geng Jin left, only Cui Geng and Cui Quan's uncle and nephew were left in the hall. Cui Geng didn't speak, he just knelt down on the mat and looked at Cui Quan with a frown. Cui Quan felt scared when he saw it, and asked with a sneer.

"Who taught you about this?" Cui Geng no longer addressed him as uncle, but looked at him and asked lightly.

"Who taught me what?" Cui Quan said with a somewhat unnatural look on his face.

"Now that I think about it, there are many things that cannot be explained." Cui Geng tapped the table with his index finger unhurriedly, looked up at Cui Quan and said: "You left Yuyang long before the war in Yuyang, and I broke through to the south. Even if the news of the war in Yuyang comes quickly, you should not arrive at that time unless you are nearby and there are those strong men brought from Nanjuju. They are strong men, but they are all well-trained. Even though there are often bandits in this place, there is a difference between soldiers and ordinary country warriors. "

This is also where Cui Geng becomes suspicious. Those people don't look like ordinary men. He has been suspicious since he met Cui Quan. There are just some things that he doesn't want to think about in detail. He prefers to believe that Cui is really willing. Do yourself a favor.

"And!" Seeing Cui Quan wanted to argue something, he waved his hand and said: "Before Nanjiuju, the Jingzhou Army was chasing me and waiting for me, but after passing Nanjiuju, I rarely saw the Jingzhou Army again. Chasing soldiers, uncle, I can believe that Liu Bei is not afraid of me returning to Wancheng, but what you have done since entering the city..."

"I'm helping you!" Cui Quan couldn't help but said angrily.

"The city was almost destroyed today, so you're helping me?" Cui Geng looked at Cui Quan and sighed: "Do you know that what my lord hates most is people who have liaisons with foreign enemies. Luoyang Yushi Zhongcheng and others colluded with Cao Jun. The intention was to conquer Luoyang, and in the end, hundreds of families in Luoyang were wiped out overnight. If I were to lose here today, I believe that my two sons would have no worries about food and clothing in their lives, and in the future, as long as they are not too bad, they can enter the official career, but Cui clan, if my lord learns that you are collaborating with the enemy, do you know what will happen? Although Liu Bei has won Jingzhou, his foundation is unstable. If you dedicate Nanyang to this man, I don't know what benefits Liu Bei will give you, but I can guarantee that the fate of the Cui family will never be too good. My lord just cares about me and will not hold the whole family accountable, but uncle, I am afraid that you will not be so lucky. "

His own family knows his own affairs. People like Cui Quan use his name to be good at eating and dealing. However, Cui Quan cannot think of, let alone do, things like helping him seize power without his own authorization. Now that Cui Quan has done it, there must be someone behind it.

Who is this person? If Liu Bei is okay, if someone in Wancheng is secretly manipulating all this, that would be a bad thing. At this time, the most feared thing is that someone is causing trouble internally. This is why Cui Geng handed over military power so simply. Wancheng cannot Lost, let alone in his own hands, otherwise even if he died in battle, he would not have the face to see Chen Mo.

When Cui Quan heard this, his face turned pale, his eyes were wandering, and he did not dare to look at Cui Geng.

Seeing him like this, Cui Geng was already convinced that someone was helping him behind the scenes. It was probably Liu Bei. He patted the table and cursed: "Confused! You are going to put me, Mrs. Cui, on the fire!" "

Cui Quan was also angry and cursed: "If you hadn't been willing to support the Cui family, how could I have thought of this method!?"

"Do you think that if you help Liu Bei, Liu Bei will support Cui?" Cui Geng shouted.

"Why not? It's better than relying on an immoral person like you!" Cui Quanben said.

"You really had an affair with Liu Bei!?" Cui Geng's eyes turned cold and he stared at him coldly.

Cui Quan's face turned pale, he looked at Cui Geng, opened his mouth and said: "Bo Lun, the Cui family raised you and raised you, you..."

"Brother Zhu, come in." Cui Geng sighed and shouted to the door.

Cui Quan turned around and saw the gloomy-looking Zhu Sheng, Huang Li and other generals coming in, looking at him with unkind eyes. However, it was Cui Geng who ordered Geng Jin to go out and quietly invite these people back. At the same time, he sent some generals to follow him back. The thirty strong men in the city were under control.

"This is my family background and should not be known to you, but it is related to the safety of Wancheng and makes you laugh." Cui Geng cupped his fists at Zhu Sheng and others.

"Brother Cui is selfless, I admire him." Zhu Sheng and others nodded, frowned and looked at Cui Quan and said, "But how should we deal with this person?"

After all, he was a member of Cui Geng's clan, and he was also the leader of the Cui clan. He didn't know Cui Geng's attitude.

"I am not suitable to handle this matter." Cui Geng sighed helplessly, sat down on his knees and said, "Brother Zhu is the current leader of the three armies, so it is up to Brother Zhu to resolve this matter."

When Cui Quan heard this, his face turned pale. He grabbed Cui Geng and said, "Bo Lun, you can't ignore me! It's fine if you don't help my Cui family. How can you push Cui family into the abyss?"

"I am protecting the Cui family. If you continue to behave like this, the Cui family will be exterminated soon!" Cui Geng threw Cui Quan away and yelled angrily.

"So...offended." Zhu Sheng saluted Cui Geng.

Cui Geng nodded and sat down on his knees.

Zhu Sheng looked at Cui Quan, frowned and said: "Cui Quan, you have liaison with foreign enemies and conspired to cholera the three armies. According to the laws of our army, you will kill the three tribes!"

Cui Quan looked at Cui Geng with a pale face: "Bo Lun..."

Zhu Sheng waved his hand and said: "Don't ask for help urgently. Please tell Liu Bei's plan. If you can be punished and make meritorious service, I can exonerate you from the crime to the court, at least the family will not be exterminated."

"Then Liu Bei only asked me to join Bo Lun and help Bo Lun seize power. As for the rest, he said that someone would contact me when the time comes." Cui Quan shook his head. Chen Gong originally only asked him to bring people to join Cui Geng. , trying to sneak into Wancheng, and then help Cui Geng seize power. As for the next step, he was not told.

When Zhu Sheng heard this, he frowned and looked at Cui Geng: "General, what does Liu Bei mean by this plan?"

Cui Geng shook his head, frowned and looked at Cui Quan and said: "Uncle, if you want to save yourself, you'd better tell Liu Bei's plan in detail now, otherwise, I won't be able to save you."

"It's true!" Cui Quan wailed, "Then Chen Gong told me like this, I'm also very surprised."

Cui Geng and Zhu Sheng looked at each other and looked at each other, confused. What did Liu Bei mean? Help Cui Geng seize power?

"Is it possible that there are still fine works in the city?" Zhu Sheng frowned.

"Those people he brought will be arrested and interrogated strictly. Maybe they can find out something, but the top priority is to defend the city." Cui Geng shook his head and said.

"Well, what General Cui said is absolutely true. Then this general seal..." Zhu Sheng took out the general seal in his hand and wanted to return it to Cui Geng.

"Let's wait until General Wenyuan comes back." Cui Geng shook his head.
