Liangzhou, Weiwu County, in a wine shop in the east of the city.
The wine in the wine shop is famous far and wide, and businessmen and people passing by like to drink and chat in the wine shop.
"Have you heard? After Wang Yun took control of the government, he has ordered the disbandment of the Xiliang Army and let everyone disarm and return to their fields." The speaker was a middle-aged man with a rough face and a beard under his chin. He picked up a
After pouring down the bowl of wine, he placed the bowl heavily on the desk and said, "If the Xiliang Army is disbanded, we ordinary people may also suffer."
"Pfft!"
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, a chuckle immediately sounded next to him.
A young man wearing a Confucian robe with an arrogant look curled his lips and said: "Wang Situ has long said that Dong Zhuo deserves death, but the generals and soldiers of the Xiliang Army are not guilty and will not be held accountable. Wang Yun was a great Confucian in the world.
, after all, he is also a Situ in the dynasty and ranks among the three nobles. How can it be possible to change what he said easily? I think your words are pure rumors."
The young man shook his head, obviously not believing what the middle-aged man said.
Moreover, he also suspected that the middle-aged man had evil intentions and deceived the people.
After hearing this, the middle-aged man stood up suddenly and shouted: "I just rushed back to Liangzhou from Chang'an. I know what happened in Chang'an. How can my news be false? Humph, Wang Yun is still ranked third.
What people say is like farting. The order issued in the morning has been changed in the evening. The little emperor has such ministers, he is not as good as Dong Zhuo, who was born in the Xiliang army. Although Dong Zhuo is overbearing, he treats us Xiliang people
Okay, what do you think?"
"yes!"
"That's right, Dong Zhuo is better."
"Hey, it's a pity that Dong Zhuo is dead."
…
In the wine shop, the middle-aged man's words won the approval of everyone. The young man wearing a Confucian robe listened to the words around him, his face turned red with embarrassment, and his face was very ugly.
He stood up, glanced at the middle-aged man, flicked his sleeves, and walked away.
After the young man walked away, a man in a linen robe who looked like a green-skinned scoundrel came over and sat down. He didn't care about anything else, he first picked up a wine bowl and poured it into his stomach, then leaned forward slightly and said mysteriously
: "What you got is not the latest news. I just know the latest news from Chang'an."
He glanced around at the merchants and people around him, enjoying the feeling of his eyes falling on him, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Yun's order has changed again. He is no longer prepared to pardon all the Xiliang army's crimes, but to punish Dong Zhuo.
The generals and the Xiliang army under Dong Zhuo's command were all captured and killed."
One sentence is like a huge stone falling into the water, causing the noisy wine shop to roar.
"It's impossible. The total number of Xiliang troops is tens of thousands. It's absolutely impossible for Wang Yun to kill all the soldiers." A middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe said calmly at the wine table next to him.
The middle-aged man is a businessman and has a lot of brains.
Hearing this, the green-skinned scoundrel rolled his eyes and said, "Hey, you don't know what's going on inside. What Wang Yun wants to kill are Dong Zhuo's direct descendants, all the generals and soldiers who are loyal to Dong Zhuo. Don't you know that the people in the court are being killed?"
Have all the people promoted by Dong Zhuo been reviled or killed? Besides, the Xiliang army led by Zhang Ji, Li Meng and Fan Chou has tens of thousands of people. If these soldiers are not killed, Wang Yun will sleep
It’s not stable.”
At this time, another person said: "You are all wrong. I heard that Wang Yun is very cruel and wants to implicate all the people who have anything to do with Dong Zhuo. Anyone who is involved with Dong Zhuo will be killed. Then Dong Zhuo is from Xiliang There are many people involved. If they are traced, many Xiliang people will be killed. These soldiers are red-blooded. No matter whether you are related to Dong Zhuo or not, they will kill you first. In this way, the people may also be killed. A lot of people are going to be killed."
“Alarmist!”
An old man in brocade clothes said something and left in a hurry.
However, after other people heard this, their hearts sank.
Perhaps, the news that Wang Yun killed the people in Xiliang who were related to Dong Zhuo was unreliable, but the people didn't know the real thing, and they didn't think about it carefully. They just told other people about the news and let others refer to it for details. In this way As soon as the news spread, the more people knew about it, the more the news gradually changed, becoming more and more terrifying.
Among them, some of the news can be understood to be false if you think about it carefully, but some people still believe it.
In the end, the news evolved that Wang Yun wanted to kill all the people in Xiliang to vent his hatred.
What's more, it is said that Wang Yun was furious and wanted to send a large army to sweep Xiliang and turn Xiliang into a barren land. In short, all kinds of news were flying all over the sky, and the people of Xiliang were confused and panicked. Xiliang was in chaos. , Wang Yun, who lived in Chang'an, had no idea that he was still planning to reduce the military power of the Xiliang Army.
…
In the north of the city, there is a house.
In the hall, there sat a middle-aged man wearing a green scarf and a black robe.
The middle-aged man is sitting upright, looking neither sad nor happy, with no expression on his face. However, just sitting like this, the middle-aged man also gives people a sinister feeling, making people feel that he is facing a poisonous snake spitting out information. Very dangerous. This person is none other than Li Ru who came from Chang'an.
He took several warriors in black and spent half a month arriving at Weiwu County. After Li Ru arrived at Weiwu County, he did not go directly to visit Li Meng, Fan Chou and others, but stayed in the house to prepare.
By now, Li Ru has completed the layout.
"Tap! Tread!"
Outside the hall, steady footsteps came closer and closer.
A warrior in black quickly came to the hall. This warrior in black was a swordsman trained by Shi A. He was specially sent to protect Li Ru's safety and help Li Ru collect and inquire about information. Of course, Shi A sent People following Li Ru also have another meaning, which is to monitor Li Ru through the black warriors to prevent Li Ru from doing anything detrimental to Wang Can.
Li Ru saw the warrior in black approaching and asked, "How is the situation?"
The black-clothed warrior cupped his hands and said: "Reply to Sir, I have recruited dozens of green-skinned scoundrels from my humble position, distributed money to them, and asked them to spread the news that Wang Yun wanted to kill all the Xiliang troops, and even the people of Xiliang. .Up to now, the people in the city are panic-stricken, and the military morale is unstable. They are all afraid that Wang Yun will kill everyone."
Li Ru smiled and said: "Rumors stop at the wise. It's a pity that Xiliang is barren, the people are fierce, and there are not many people who are literate. Otherwise, there would be no such panic."
He seemed to be talking to himself, completely ignoring the black-clothed warrior standing in front of him.
After a moment of silence, Li Ru waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's go down. Now you try to find people, let them continue to confuse the soldiers, and make the soldiers responsible for defense in the city panic. In this way, we can start from the outside and let the people and the soldiers, and even the generals of the Xiliang Army were panicked and frightened."
"promise!"
The warrior in black replied, turned and left.
The black-clothed warrior glanced at Li Ru and felt a chill in his heart.
Wang Yun's order was originally very simple and had little impact, but after the 'Mr. Li' in front of him added fuel to the fire and secretly sent people to incite the people, Wang Yun's order was greatly changed and turned into all kinds of news. What is it now?
The news is spreading, and it's all alarmist.
Li Ru sat in the room, looked at the blue sky outside the hall, and murmured to himself: "It's not enough, it's not hot enough. We have to wait a few more days. Only Li Meng, Fan Chou and others were scared and tried to persuade them.
Only after a while can they send troops."
…
Weiwu County, County Sheriff's Mansion.
In the hall, three Xiliang army generals, Li Meng, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji, were sitting.
After Dong Zhuo's death, because Li Ru disappeared, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu became the boss of the Xiliang army. However, Niu Fu was not a commander-in-chief and had no brains. Although he led the army to defeat the general Zhu Jun sent by the imperial court,
(jun), but because of suspicion, he killed Dong Yue, Dong Zhuo's general who came to defect to him.
After Niu Fu killed someone, he was afraid that Dong Yue's soldiers would rebel, so he hurriedly led his soldiers to escape back to Xiliang. However, he did not expect that he was killed by his soldiers on the way and took away his money.
.
After Niu Fu's death, only Zhang Ji, Li Meng, Fan Chou, Duan Xuan and Xu Rong remained among Dong Zhuo's generals.
Among them, Duan Xuan and Xu Rong surrendered to the imperial court.
Among the five high-ranking generals, only Li Meng, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou were still dissatisfied with the imperial court and unwilling to submit to Lu Bu. The three of them wanted to continue to occupy Xiliang and live a free and easy life. However, the good times did not last long.
More and more news is being spread, and news that is not good for them is flying all over the place, all with the intention of killing them.
Fan Chou, Li Meng, Zhang Ji and others did not believe the news that Wang Yun wanted to kill the people of Xiliang.
Because they knew that Wang Yun did not have the courage or strength.
However, Wang Yun could kill the three commanders of the Xiliang Army. This was clear to the three of them, and they were all thinking about how to protect themselves without being killed by Wang Yun.
Li Meng pondered for a while and then said first: "The situation is now turbulent and the morale of the army is unstable. If we lead the troops to attack, we will definitely not be able to defeat Lu Bu. Anyway, we have enough money, so we might as well disband the army and escape back to our hometown to live in anonymity."
Among the three people, Li Meng showed his timidity before fighting.
Fan Chou was tall and tall, with a strong physique and rough face like a Xiliang man.
Hearing Li Meng's words, his face was uncertain. After a while, he also said: "Li Meng is right. We all have great wealth. Even if we remain anonymous, we can still live a comfortable life. I agree to disband the army."
.”
Zhang Ji is quite outstanding in martial arts. He has a lovely wife at home and a lot of ambition. How can he live in anonymity? He stood up suddenly and said loudly: "Although Duan Xuan and Xu Rong betrayed us, the three of us still have a lot of hope."
There are thousands of Xiliang elites and tens of thousands of ordinary Xiliang soldiers. As long as the flag is raised, other Xiliang soldiers will definitely come to join us. We will stay in Xiliang and wait for Lu Bu to fight. Who will win when the time comes?
You will know in one battle.”
When Fan Chou and Li Meng heard this, they shook their heads repeatedly and were unwilling to agree.
The two of them kept persuading Zhang Ji with each other. In the end, Zhang Ji was persuaded by the two of them and wanted to disband the army and live an anonymous life with his wealth.
At this moment, a soldier ran into the hall and reported: "Report, Mr. Jia is here to visit."
Mr. Jia is naturally Jia Xu.
After Fan Chou heard this, he hurriedly asked the soldiers to bring Jia Xu in.
Outside the hall, the sound of slow footsteps came. Jia Xu entered the hall step by step. He was wearing a navy blue robe and a long crown. He was tall and had a generous and ordinary face with Chinese characters on his face.
He has a faint smile and three long beards under his chin, giving him a harmless feeling.
In a crowd of people, Jia Xu definitely doesn't stand out.
However, his slightly narrowed eyes shone with wisdom, which should not be underestimated. Jia Xu slowly walked into the hall, immediately attracting the attention of Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and Li Meng.
Fan Chou was from Xiliang and knew that Jia Xu was a man with great ideas, so he hurriedly asked: "Mr. Jia, you came just in time. The three of us discussed it carefully and found that it was difficult to resist the imperial army. We wanted to disband the army and return home."
How does Mr. Jia feel about going to their respective villages to hide their names and not be interested in worldly affairs from now on?"
