The envoys from Li Jue and Guo Si came to the theater at the same time, and they all brought rich gifts. Everyone knew the purpose of coming. The envoys were a little embarrassed to meet. Long Fei hosted a banquet, and no one mentioned it during the dinner.
The matter of soldiers was just an argument about who was right and who was wrong. Long Fei, Jia Xu and others seemed to be watching a play. After the banquet, neither of the two envoys wanted to leave. It seemed that as soon as he left, Long Fei would immediately fall to others.
Which side? In that case, Long Fei thought of a way.
In a small tent next to the big tent, Long Fei met with the envoys of Li Jue and Guo Si respectively. Their attitudes were the same. He would definitely come forward to uphold justice and would never let go of those who took advantage of him. The two envoys
Went away happily.
"My lord, will they believe it?" Zhang Liao asked: "We have two heads and two sides, right..."
"Hey!" Long Fei chuckled: "Wen Yuan was surprised by what he said. This is not called a rat and a snipe, but a snipe and a clam competing for the fisherman's profit. Have you never heard of this allusion? Let me tell you about it!"
Just when Long Fei felt that everything was in order and was about to lead his troops to leave the theater to mediate, something happened in Tongguan to the east. After Fan Chou, the guard of Tongguan, learned about the civil strife in Chang'an, he felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he invited Zhang Ji to lead his troops together.
They came. Naturally, they were under the banner of mediation, but they actually had the same idea as Long Fei. The two of them joined forces, with banners fluttering and soldiers and horses galloping from Tongguan.
Long Fei was also shocked when he received the news: "These two people really know how to find the right time, and it comes so fast!"
Guo Jiadao: "Zhang Ji and Fan Chou are also considered princes. Being a prince has its own merits. Seizing the opportunity is the most basic thing. This is not surprising!"
"If they come this time, they won't even think about leaving again!" Long Fei's eyes widened, showing murderous intent.
Guo Si set up a huge formation at the east gate of Chang'an to welcome Zhang Ji and Fan Chou. Fan Chou and he were from the same hometown. With this friendship, he had many ways to tie Fan Chou to his side. With Fan Chou's help, Li Jue was doomed this time.
.
The banquet was as lively as ever. Speaking of the internal strife between Li Jue and Guo Si, Guo Si put all the blame on Li Jue and described himself as the biggest victim in the world. Li Jue's kidnapping of the emperor was a treasonous act and must be
After they were eliminated, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji looked at each other and said to Guo Si: "General, you, me, and Li Jue are all subordinates of King Yong. We ended up like this because of some trivial things. We are heartbroken, so we joined General Zhang.
Come and take a look, how about you take a step back when you listen to me?"
In the middle of the banquet, someone suddenly shouted from outside: "The imperial edict has arrived..."
Everyone in the room was startled. Zhang Ji and Fan Chou stood up quickly, but Guo Si sat still. The eunuch who delivered the order was a little eunuch. He looked around with his little eyes. Seeing that Guo Si's eyes were wrong, he hurriedly opened the imperial edict and said:
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict... to make Zhang Ji a hussar general and Fan Chou a chariot general!"
It was obvious that Li Jue took advantage of the emperor's convenience and wanted to use high-ranking officials to win over Zhang Ji and Fan Chou. Guo Si was so angry that he grabbed the imperial edict and tore it into pieces in two or two strokes. He was fierce at the young eunuch.
He kicked hard: "Go back and tell Li Jue that Generals Zhang and Fan will not accept such an edict!"
Zhang Ji and Fan Chou were a little disappointed that the newly acquired high-ranking official was ruined by Guo Si, but it was hard to say anything. After the young eunuch left, Fan Chou proposed to go to Meiwu to talk to Li Jue, hoping that the two families would stop fighting.
He, put the overall situation first and don't start any more disputes. Guo Bang didn't agree, but he didn't want to offend these two "gods", so he reluctantly agreed. However, he had a condition, that is, only Fan Chou could go. Guo Bang
He believed that if Zhang Ji and Li Jue went in, they would only help Zhou do evil, but Fan Chou was a fellow countryman and would not be disadvantageous to him.
That afternoon, Fan Chou led his troops to Meiwu. After seeing off Fan Chou, Guo Si suddenly had a bold idea. He glanced at Zhang Ji, turned around silently, and smiled and invited Zhang Ji to continue drinking.
After Fan Chou arrived at Meiwu, he unexpectedly saw Li Jue greeting him. Dong Zhuo's castle is now Li Jue's base camp, and a few soldiers were milling about at the gate. Fan Chou expressed his intention, and someone informed Li Jue inside.
Then they ran out with smiles on their faces. After greeting each other, they entered Meiwu. Fan Chou had never been here before. Although it had been looted by Jiang Qin, it was still so magnificent.
The food and drinks were quickly served. Li Jue praised Fan Chou and Zhang Ji for coming to mediate this time. When he learned that Guo Si had torn up the imperial edict, he immediately asked someone to draft a new one and handed it to Fan Chou. The two drank one cup after another, and both
A little drunk, Li Jue turned his head and winked at Wang Fang, who was accompanying him. Wang Fang picked up the wine pot and poured a glass for Fan Chou himself: "General Fan came thousands of miles to serve as our general. It's really hard work. This time I still have to pay for it."
You have to rely more on the general, come and give me a toast to the general!"
Fan Chou was so happy that he raised his neck and drank all the wine in the cup. After a while, he felt unbearable pain in his abdomen and wanted to get up to go to the toilet. As soon as he stood up, he felt that the world was spinning, his legs were weak and he fell down again. Li Jue
He looked at Fan Chou with a smile, and there was a sinister look in that smile. Only then did Fan Chou realize that something was wrong, and heard the sound of killing outside the door.
Fan Chou wanted to speak, but he was speechless. He covered his stomach with one hand and pointed at Li Jue with the other hand. Wang Fang stepped forward with his sword, looked at Fan Chou and sneered: "You still want to be big in front of my general, do you think you are?
What?" He grabbed Fan Cong's hair with one hand, and lightly slashed Fan Cong's neck with the sword, causing blood to spurt out.
Zhang Ji from Chang'an woke up with a start. I don't know why, he was frightened that night. He seemed to feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it. He was supposed to go back to the camp, but unexpectedly he agreed to stay with Guo Si. Since he couldn't sleep, he slowly
He got up and asked someone to pour him a cup of tea. Before he could take a sip, he heard movement outside the door.
Zhang Xiu was covered in blood, holding a spear in one hand, and broke into Zhang Ji's bedroom: "Uncle, it's bad, Guo Si is going to kill us!"
"Dang!" The tea bowl in Zhang Ji's hand fell to the ground. Zhang Xiu grabbed Zhang Ji and dragged him out of the door: "Uncle, come with me quickly. My nephew will protect his uncle and fight out of the city!"
Chang'an City has been tightly sealed, and Zhang Ji's army outside the city has long been bribed by Guo Si's money and senior officials. Seeing changes in the city, no one comes to rescue. Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji rush left and right, facing the boundless
The soldiers were so strong that it was difficult to break through. Hu Cheer shouted loudly and swung his ax to hit Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu hurriedly raised his gun and greeted him: "You are crazy! It's me!"
"You are the one to be killed! General Guo has promised that as long as I take the heads of your uncle and nephew, he will make me the Zhonglang General! Take your life!" Another blow from the ax came.
There are fewer and fewer of Zhang Ji's personal guards, and some have surrendered in order to survive. Zhang Xiu was furious, shouted and stabbed directly with his spear. Zhang Xiu's spear skills were as fast as lightning, and Hu Che'er's ax had already pierced through before he could block it.
He hit Hu Che'er's chest. This ungrateful man ended up dead. Zhang Ji saw that his situation was over, so he grabbed Zhang Xiu and said, "Go away quickly. No one can escape with me, uncle or nephew!"
Zhang Xiu still refused to leave. Zhang Ji flipped up his sword and placed it on his neck: "Go! Go find Long Fei and avenge me!"
Zhang Xiu had no choice but to rush out single-handedly. When he turned around to look, Zhang Ji was already surrounded by soldiers. Zhang Xiu wiped the tears on his face, activated his divine power to break through the siege, and got into the darkness.
This night was not peaceful after all. Li Jue tried his best to poison Fan Chou, and coerced Fan Chou's soldiers and horses to draw him closer to his own team. Guo Si also used the same method to take Zhang Ji's soldiers and horses for his own use.
.They all felt that the other party was not as smart as they were, so they would take the stolen troops and horses tomorrow to completely wipe out the other party. Only Long Fei, the bystander of the whole thing, could see it clearly.
"Very good! Fan Chou was killed by Li Jue, Zhang Ji was killed by Guo Si, and the two of them attacked each other! When they fight, it won't be too late for us to come forward!" Long Fei glanced at Jia Xu: "
Wen He, can you tell me now how you made these two people have the idea of killing people and seizing soldiers?"
Jia Xu smiled: "It's not difficult to say. These two are very ambitious. All they need is to send someone to give them a little warning. I have been in the Xiliang army for many years and I still have some old friends!"
"Report...! Lord, Zhang Xiu wants to see you!"
Zhang Xiu was wearing ordinary people's clothes, his hair was disheveled, and his weapons and horses were nowhere to be found. After breaking out of the siege last night and not allowed to leave the city, Zhang Xiu hid in a haystack. This morning he found some ordinary people's clothes, and then
He led the people out of the city to sneak out. When he talked about his uncle being killed by Guo Bang, the anger in Zhang Xiu's eyes could not be suppressed.
"General! Please ask the general to avenge my uncle. I, Zhang Xiu, am willing to act like an ox and a horse to repay the general!" Zhang Xiu said sincerely: "In those days, our uncle and nephew often offended the general. I hope the general will defend the enemy together at Hulao Pass.
Go ahead and avenge my uncle!"
Long Fei helped Zhang Xiu up and took off the grass clippings from his clothes: "General Zhang and I fought against the enemy together at Hulao Pass and we were brothers. General Zhang took good care of me. Now that he died tragically, I am heartbroken.
I will definitely avenge you for the general! But can the young general wait first? When the time is right, I will put Guo Bin in front of the young general!"
Zhang Xiu couldn't stand Long Fei's smooth talk in the past, and was very angry when he started fighting with him. Now that Long Fei agreed, Zhang Xiu didn't know what to say, and nodded hurriedly: "You must listen to the general, and I, Zhang Xiu, will repay you with my life."
General!"
Just as Long Fei expected, Li Jue and Guo Si got the men and couldn't wait to compete. The two sides set up a battle array on the outskirts of Xianyang. After seeing each other, they realized that they had all thought of going together.
Now they can only fight, and in this situation, it is only life and death. Although the two of them thought well, but none of the soldiers were their own, and they showed fatigue from the beginning of the war. The stalemate war started and stopped, and both sides had problems.
Deaths and injuries. These are all trivial matters. The troublesome thing is that the food and grass cannot keep up.
Li Jue sent people to plunder nearby counties, and Guo Si hurriedly followed suit. The nearby people were affected, and the soldiers' robbery of food at first quickly evolved into killing good people and taking credit for their merits. The people had no choice but to flee with their families.
Large numbers of people were displaced, and their destination was the theater city. Long Fei suddenly felt the pressure increasing and felt that it was time for him to take action.
