Chapter 56 The Rebellion between Guo and Zhang

Outside Chang'an City

A dense crowd of human heads emerged from below the mound, passing through the vast rain curtain, and gradually revealed their figures.

This is an army of about 40,000 to 50,000 people. No flags have been hung in the army. Most of the soldiers are wearing ordinary crimson military uniforms, with few armors. There are only a few men carrying banners, holding naked flagpoles, standing behind the general.

.

It makes it difficult to identify the army's affiliation.

"Bah!" Guo Si spit out the mud in his mouth, wiped the rain off his face with all his strength, with a gloomy face, raised his hand to signal the army to stop marching: "This rain really comes at an untimely time. We have been planning for many days, and the location and people are favorable, but unexpectedly it will destroy

In heaven’s time!”

"Wen He, we have missed the appointment, and we don't know how the battle between Lu Bu and Zhang Ji and Fan Chou in Chang'an City went?"

Guo Si casually sat astride a stone. Along the way, the closer he got to Chang'an, the fewer trees there were, and he couldn't find a hiding place. Guo Si was helpless, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Chang'an was changing with each passing day.

I remember that when the Grand Master was here, although many trees around Chang'an were cut down when building Xiwu, it was only about thirty miles outside Chang'an City and did not appear to be out of place.

At that time, the terrain outside Chang'an City was flat and suitable for rapid marches, but now... outside the city there are dense pits and mounds, and those who didn't know better thought Chang'an City was being rebuilt!

In order to hide the convenience and efficiency of the army's march, Guo Si planned the route based on the memory in his mind along the way, and sent scouts one after another to investigate, without making any mistakes.

Until he got close to the outside of the city, Guo Si was still fully convinced that Lu Bu would not return to the city without fighting Zhang Ji and Fan Chou who were besieging the city, so he ordered his scouts not to rush in and just explore nearby.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a real trap for him. Now he had nowhere to hide, so he could only attack the army naked. With Lu Bu on both sides of the city as an internal response, even if the best strategy was not available, the middle and lower strategy would be enough.

Although it is a pity, as long as Chang'an is captured in advance, Li Jue will have thousands of means, but he can't help himself.

Since Guo Bang asked a question, even though Jia Xu didn't want to delay him in the rain, he had to respond respectfully.

He first lifted up his sleeves and wiped the water stains on his forehead. He used to look at Guo Bang's expression through his sleeves for a few times. He probably knew how to speak in order to win the other person's favor without harming himself.

"General, I believe that the key to success lies with Marquis Wen. If Marquis Wen succeeds, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou will not have anything to worry about. We can control Chang'an as soon as the city gates are opened."

Jia Xu was worried for a moment whether Lu Bu would betray Guo Si, but he thought that with his previous methods, Lu Bu would never betray Guo Si unless he lost his mind.

But if there is someone in the city who can defeat his plan... No, it's impossible.

Jia Xu quickly went through everyone in the city in his mind, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. There was no one who could see through his plan and would still be willing to break the situation for Lu Bu.

Guo Bang never considered that Lu Bu would backstab him. After all, the two of them "were sworn on the mountain and made an alliance through blood." In today's world, an oath is a witness to heaven and earth, and it is still very binding on people.

As for Zhang Ji and Fan Chou in Jia Xu's words... using Lu Bu to deal with these two people is really killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.

Guo Si was not worried at all about what might happen to Lu Bu. He squeezed out his wet clothes and felt that he was invincible.

I don't know whether it was in response to his mood at this time, but the rain abated. The heavy rain now turned into a boundless rain of silk, interweaving the sky and the earth, finer than a spider's web, binding all living beings.

"We will camp here and wait until Lu Bu's flag is exchanged on the city wall for us to enter the city!"

Guo Bang and Jia Xu were talking about what was going to happen after entering the city. They were completely unaware of the slight swaying of the new shrubs in the grass not far away. One of them held his breath, moved his body slightly, and crawled deeper into the branches and leaves.

After getting out of the thick grass, the man calmed down and ran straight to Zhang Xiu's tent without daring to delay.

"What?!" Zhang Xiu stood up suddenly, sweat dripping from his palms, and looked at the scout who came to report in disbelief.

"You said that Mr. Wenhe is by General Guo's side, and he is also offering advice to General Guo?!"

Zhang Xiu held on to the spear and was in a trance. He was confused for a moment and didn't know what to do.

What a difficult situation this is!

No wonder Zhang Xiu was desperate. He only had a thousand men under his command, but Lu Bu had already taken control of the city gates in Chang'an City. Counting the number of people who could surrender, he had nearly 40,000 people in his hands, as well as Guo Si's 40,000 people, and even Jia Xu.

He also made suggestions...

No matter how you look at it, there is no chance for me to resist. My uncle is still in dire straits in the city, so how can I abandon my uncle?

The meaning of kindness is greater than heaven. General Li, Xiu has no choice but to temporarily seek refuge with Guo Si. When his uncle is rescued, Xiu will find a way to escape and return to your side. He will hold the whip and stirrup, and no one dares to refuse.

As the saying goes, when I think of Tou Guo, I suddenly feel that the world is vast.

Zhang Xiu made up his mind to defect to Guo Si first and borrow Guo Si's troops to rescue Zhang Ji. He calmed down a little and whispered: "Take my order to find General Guo. I just said that we will wait for the first army to come here."

Test whether Fan Chou is rebellious, and don’t mention the rest."

"Yes." The scout remembered Zhang Xiu's words in his heart and understood that this was a change of commander. He heard the implication of Zhang Xiu's words, that he did not sincerely seek refuge with Guo Si.

He couldn't help but waver for a moment and wanted to betray Zhang Xiu in exchange for Guo Si's appreciation.

Zhang Xiu took out the seal from his arms, looked at the scout coldly, shook his right hand, and the seal was thrown up high. Almost instantly, the white dot on his left side flashed, and the red tassel spurted out like blood from his neck.

He came out, the slightly condensed spear tip picked up the ant-sized ribbon knot on the seal, and stabbed it right in front of the scout's eyes.

A drop of sweat broke out from the scout's nose, and he felt that his whole body was locked by the tip of Zhang Xiu's spear, and he could not escape no matter what.

"Why, you don't dare to take it?" Zhang Xiu shook the tip of his gun.

The scout couldn't help but stare at the cold light. It took him a long time to react, reached out to take the seal, and Nuonuo stepped back.

After leaving the camp, the scout stupidly held the seal and tried to put it in his arms, only to find a few drops of blood on the ribbon.

After realizing it, he touched his face and found that his hands were full of blood. At this time, he felt a stinging pain between his eyes. After rubbing it, he suddenly realized that the tip of the spear had penetrated into his skin and left behind

A scar as wide as a fingernail.

The scout was frightened for a moment. He didn't even notice it, and he didn't remember that Zhang Xiu's gun had ever stabbed him between the eyebrows.

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, and hurried to Guo Bang's place, for fear that if he was a step too late, he would be found dead here.

Inside Chang'an City

Weiyang Palace

Zhang Ji, who was thinking about Zhang Xiu, stood up and knelt down calmly below Liu Xie.

"Zhang Qing, I have always known Zhang Qing's loyal heart. He wore armor and entered the palace. He must have gone to the palace to fight for the country's calamity. But I don't know who the 'thief' Zhang Qing mentioned is?"

Liu Xie sat on the jade mat, his spine as straight as a ruler, and his words were graceful and graceful. Although he was young, he already had the embryonic form of an emperor. The pressure caused by leaning forward with a look of disdain made even Zhang Ji inevitably lower his head.

Avoid its sharp edges.

It’s not that he really didn’t know who the “thief” Zhang Ji called out was… He could say such words as “Master Dong’s Minister of Sheji”, so it was clear who he was targeting.

The long veil covered Liu Xie's eagerness to move in his eyes, and the inadvertent glance he cast at Wang Yun, and his hands in the wide sleeves tightened little by little.

Trading Wang Yun for Zhang Ji is like using owl chess to attack the opponent's scattered chess pieces (similar to pawns). It is definitely not a wise move, but is it really so?

Liu Xie closed his eyes.

At this time, he seemed to be the only one left in the hall, and there was a Shuanglu game on his lap. The four corners were yin, the four sides were yang, Tai Chi was born in the center, and the black and white Pisces were huddled together in Tai Chi.

He took three of each of the six chess pieces and placed them flat in the two corners of the chessboard that represented his own side. With a move of his fingertips, he pushed out the owl chess piece and slid it to one corner. The counter was then thrown from the opposite side of the chessboard, and the originally clean chess surface was scattered by the counter chips.

The ninth day of the lunar month: Panhuan, Li Juzhen, Li Jianhou.

Xiang said: Although he is a powerful person, his ambition and conduct are righteous. Using the noble and the humble will greatly win the people.

As firm as rocks and wooden pillars, it is conducive to maintaining the right path and is suitable for establishing the prestige of princes.

Xiangci said: Although it is difficult to move forward when you are wandering, your desire to move forward is in line with the right path. By approaching lowly people with a noble status and being approachable, you can gain widespread support from the people.

The chess pieces were scattered all over the floor.

As if reincarnation was happening again, Liu Xie once again got the words that he had originally replied to Dong Zhuo's insult by saying, "If a ruler wants to rule the world peacefully and gain fame, he must respect the virtuous and the humble."

He opened his eyes extremely slowly, as if his eyeballs were stimulated by the water vapor outside the hall. His eyelashes trembled, and his upper and lower eyelids collided for a moment, and then quickly separated again.

Righteous way... Yes, as the emperor, everything I do will be right way! Why should I hesitate? As for "the noble and the lowly", when I come to power, I can implement the policies of Wenjing and hide wealth among the powerful, and then all the hearts of the world will return to the Han Dynasty.

I can be the lord of three prosperity!

"Zhang Qing said it's okay." Liu Xie's eyes were sharp, his hands broke free from the restraints of his big sleeves, pressed them on his knees, and leaned forward to ask.

Above the court, all the officials had different expressions. Almost as soon as Liu Xie said these words, all the old foxes had a taste of what the little emperor was thinking. At this time, either overtly or covertly, most of them turned their eyes to closed eyes.

Rest your mind, Wang Yun looks like an old god.

Zhang Ji walked forward on his knees, fell to the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, it is extremely disrespectful for me to enter the palace with swords and axes. If I had not served your Majesty with my whole heart and blood, and put an end to the evil in the government, Ji would not dare to do such a thing in the Qingming Dynasty!"

"Please also ask Your Majesty to remember that we, the Xiliang sergeants, are dedicated to getting rid of thieves and are only trying to rehabilitate the country. We entrust the ministers with the power to punish evildoers. How dare we not be so heartless and then die?"

This is to put the deal on the bright side. Liu Xie gave Zhang Ji military power and asked Zhang Ji to kill Wang Yun and establish his authority to enter the core of the court. Zhang Ji handed over the Xiliang army, including his own decisive support for the imperial power.

Yang Biao's three strands of extremely neat and beautiful beard were floating on his chest. The hand in his sleeve almost wanted to lift up to stroke his beard, but he restrained himself.

Zhang Ji was obviously a martial artist from Xiliang, and he was not from a wealthy scholar family. How could he say such neat words about literature and science?

The words are loyal, and the words are bloody. It is actually a dead point that holds His Majesty's anxiety and disagree with Situ. How can you be unknown?

Yang Biao only felt that Zhang Ji was weird everywhere, but if this person only wanted to enter the court to fight for power, he could not try to win.

"Oh, Zhang Qing means?"

Liu Xie was puzzled, and even if he had chosen to give up Wang Yun in his heart, he couldn't show a slightest one.

Zhang Ji seemed to have foreseen Liu Xie's response. He put away tears on his face, wipe out the soil gray that did not exist on the clothes, straight up the upper body, first arched, and then nine worship.
