Three days later, the strong general Lin Guanqin led 5,000 soldiers and horses to the outside of Jianzhou City. He set up a stronghold on the left side next to Huo Yunsheng's stronghold, and sent someone to invite Huo Yunsheng to come over to meet him. Huo Yunsheng was pleased to hear that Lin Guanqin sent someone to invite him.

Go. The two discussed the current battle situation, and both agreed upon the idea of ​​asking the men and horses lurking in the city to cooperate, open the city gate, and rush in. As long as some of the soldiers and horses entered the city, Jianzhou would be at their fingertips.

Lin Guanqin was as tall as Huo Yunsheng, but Huo Yunsheng's face was much paler than his. Lin Guanqin invited Huo Yunsheng to drink. During the dinner, Lin Guanqin drunkenly said: "General Huo, when I came this time, Master Niu had an order to let Huo Yunsheng drink."

You hand over your army and horses, I will be the commander in chief, and you will be the deputy general to cooperate with me."

Huo Yunsheng was furious when he heard this. He stretched out his hand and asked: "Since it is Master Niu's order, is there any official document? Let me see it!"

Lin Guanqin smiled and said: "General Huo, what you said is hurtful! Lord Niu only asked you to cooperate with me, but he didn't give me any official documents. Can I still ask for official documents from Lord Niu? You want official documents

, you can go ask Master Niu yourself!"

Huo Yunsheng couldn't bear it any longer, so he stood up suddenly, pulled out the sword hanging from his waist, swung the sword to chop off a corner of the table, and scolded loudly: "Before I went on the expedition, Lord Niu gave me the sword and gave it to me to do things easily.

If there is anyone in the army who disobeys the restraints of his power, he can use this sword to kill him! Mr. Lin, do you want to stick out your neck and try it to see if this sword is sharp?"

Lin Guanqin was furious and stood up. He also drew his sword in his hand and shouted: "Huo, your sword can kill people, can't I, Lin's sword, not kill people? Your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief, has an order,

I ask you to hand over your military power to me, why don’t you accept it?”

Huo Yunsheng kicked the overturned table and spilled soup and wine all over the floor. Huo Yunsheng sneered and said: "I have a sword in my hand given by Master Niu. I can kill it first and then show off. Do you have it? Since you said Master Niu asked you to remove my military power,

Then you have to come up with evidence! You can't just ask me to hand over my military power with just a word, right? The command and deployment of troops is the top priority in the army, how can it be such a child's play? If you have the documents, bring them, and if you don't, just shut up!"

Lin Guanqin was filled with anger. Before he came, Niu Mandi actually said such a sentence to let him take away the command, but he did not write an official document to him. Niu Mandi actually wanted to take this opportunity to see Huo Yunsheng's reaction. Now

Niu Mandi no longer believed Huo Yunsheng. He even suspected that Lin Beihe's death was intentional by Huo Yunsheng. Otherwise, how could he explain that Tang Jiusheng sent people to sneak into the military camp and killed the captain Qiu Zhengli, but only shaved Huo Yunsheng's head.

The banquet broke up unhappily. Huo Yunsheng rushed back to the camp angrily. Still angry, he called Hu Qiuren, the captain of the Zhongyi Camp, to drink tea and chat with him. Huo Yunsheng had regarded Hu Qiuren as a confidant and told everything about what had just happened.

Asked: "Brother Qiuren, what do you think I should do now?

I don’t know if it’s Master Niu’s intention, or if this Lin Guanqin is deliberately trying to overpower me?”

Hu Qiuren thought for a while, then raised his hands and said: "General, since the general regards Hu as a confidant and asks about such confidential matters, then Hu Qiuren will tell you his own opinion. As a general commanding troops abroad, he is suspected by the superiors.

This is very dangerous. If the master suspects the minister, he will be killed. If the minister doubts the master, he will rebel. If the master doubts the minister and does not punish him, the minister will rebel. If the minister doubts the master and does not rebel, the master will kill him. I can only say that you are in danger now, general. Where should you go, general?

Decide for yourself!”

Huo Yunsheng pondered for a long time, with a troubled look on his face, "Brother Qiuren, Lin Beihe died in the hands of He Changhu a few days ago. This must be the reason why Lord Niu resents me. And I killed He Changhu and made a grudge against the city.

King Wei, King Wei will definitely not tolerate me. It is impossible to go back to Master Niu, and I cannot go to King Wei. Am I not in a dilemma now?"

Hu Qiuren smiled and said: "General, two armies are facing each other, each defending his own master. It doesn't matter if he kills the other's generals. I heard that the King of Wei is very generous and broad-minded. If you want to surrender him, he will definitely not do it when he is employing people.

It will embarrass you. Besides, He Changhu is also a surrendered general and not a member of King Wei's army. He may not hate you to the core just because of He Changhu. Since Mr. Niu doubts the general, he really can't stay here."

Huo Yunsheng asked again: "I am a fan of those involved, so I want to ask you, a bystander. If I capture Jianzhou now and win this battle, will Mr. Niu still blame me? Or can the past feud be settled?"

Hu Qiuren shook his head and said: "It's hard to say that this is a humble job, but Lin Beihe is Mr. Niu's brother-in-law. Mrs. Niu must hate you. As long as she blows your mind, General, it will be difficult for you to protect yourself."

Huo Yunsheng was very remorseful. He looked up to the sky and sighed: "I didn't expect that I, Mr. Huo, was jealous of a woman and was in a desperate situation! My children are all in Luye City. If I just went to Jianzhou and surrendered to King Wei, I would be the whole family.

My life will be gone! If I stay here, I’m afraid of being harmed by villains. It’s really hard to be loyal, but it’s also hard to be filial!”

Hu Qiuren whispered: "General, keep your voice down, be careful that there are ears through the wall. I am here to analyze the situation for the general, but the general can make his own decision. Lord Niu first sent Hou Jingxian with 3,000 men and horses to reinforce Jianzhou, and then sent the general with more than 10,000 men to Jianzhou.

At this time, Lin Guanqin and 5,000 troops were sent here. After all, Luye City has sent nearly 20,000 troops. How many more troops can there be? The city must be empty at this time!"

Huo Yunsheng's eyes lit up and he asked in a low voice: "You mean, let me send people to pick up the family members quickly? Or should I just fight back to Luye City and capture all the cattle?"

Hu Qiuren shook his head and said: "General, it is a bad idea to fight back to Luye City. Lin Guanqin must have noticed the general's move. How could he not send a letter to Luye City? If Mr. Niu knew that the general was leading his army back to attack Luye, how could he not do anything?

Be prepared? When the time comes, Master Niu will be angry,

I’m afraid the lives of the general and his family may not be safe!”

Huo Yunsheng asked again: "Since I'm afraid that Lin Guanqin will leak the news, why don't I get rid of Lin Guanqin here first?"

Hu Qiuren shook his head again and said: "General, please think about it, since Lin Guanqin has said that he has been ordered to take over the troops and horses under the Lord, how can he not make any preparations? He has five thousand troops and horses under his command, and we only have more than four thousand outside the east gate.

People, once the plan is not secret and the enemy is alerted, then Lin Guanqin will make the first move, and may even produce Lord Niu's handwriting in public. Even if the handwriting is false, it is enough to shake the general's prestige in the army. What will you do at that time, general?"

Huo Yunsheng smiled and said: "This matter is easy to handle. At worst, I will withdraw all the soldiers and horses from the four gates. I don't believe that the more than 10,000 people under our command can't defeat his 5,000 soldiers!"

Hu Qiuren still shook his head, "I'm afraid that the news will be leaked during the process of transferring troops back. Besides, ten thousand versus five thousand is not a guaranteed victory. After all, Lin Guanqin may have some handwriting or something like that."

It can shake the general's prestige. Maybe he has already written something, tied it to a carrier pigeon and let it fly. What will happen to the general and his family? So it is not appropriate to attack him."

Huo Yunsheng wondered: "But I am empty-handed now. I can't go to see King Wei like this. How can he trust me? Besides, my whole family is in someone else's hands. Even if I don't surrender to anyone, I will lead a team."

If you are the king of a mountain, what soldier wants to become a bandit? Then I can only think of ways to rescue the whole family, and then think of other ways!"

Hu Qiuren smiled and said: "Even if the general rescues a whole family, Master Niu will still doubt you. I think the general's future is already slim on Master Niu's side. We can only see what happens to King Wei by then. In short, first of all,

The best thing to do is to save your family. The general is ill and has been staying in his tent for the past few days. I will leave the outside affairs to my loyal camp. I only hold your sword and block the entrance of the camp with a dark face. No matter who comes, I will not see you.

!”

Huo Yunsheng was overjoyed, stood up, stepped forward, took Hu Qiuren's hand and said with a smile: "Old angel, I got you at this time, it's really the heaven that will never destroy me!"

Hu Qiuren also bowed and said: "It is a great honor to be promoted by the general in a humble position. The general is Mr. Hu's boss! Mr. Hu must be loyal to the general!"

Huo Yunsheng took off his sword, which was all over the place, and gave it to Hu Qiuren with both hands, "Brother Hu, please take care of the outside matters!"

Hu Qiuren smiled slightly and said, "General, I am willing to serve you! It is my honor to do my best for the general. As for Lin Guanqin, bah, who is he? How could I, Mr. Hu, treat him like this?

Do you take the villain seriously?"
