The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

The addition of the monthly pass is in the afternoon.レm♠思♥Road♣客レ

—

Xun Zhen left Wu's house, and Dian Wei led the way to the hall where Xun Cheng was waiting.

Xun Cheng looked at Xun Zhen with a strange look.

Xun Zhen coughed, pretending not to see him, sat on the seat, stroked his beard, and asked, "Is there any news from Fan Shang?"

"The person I sent to Zhao County came back, but I couldn't find him. No one was alive, no dead body, and no one knows his whereabouts. I have sent someone to Yingchuan."

"How are Du Mai, Li Xiang, and others?"

"I'm here just for his business."

"Oh?"

"The person monitoring Du Mai said that these two Du Mai sighed and seemed to have something on their minds."

The good-natured person suddenly has something on his mind. Could it be that he is fighting an ideological struggle over whether or not to betray Xun Zhen? It's been a month since Zhao Ran, Li Hu bought Du Mai, Li Xiang and others, and it's almost time for Zhao Ran to "take the net", maybe Zhao Ran However, the person sent to Du Mai and Fan Tan confided their intention to recruit, so Du Mai hesitated and contradicted?

Xun Zhen took the suspicion in her heart and said calmly, "Where's Fan Tan?"

"Fan Tan and Du Mai often argue with Du Mai, and the person monitoring them said that they quarreled until the middle of the night last night."

"Why are you arguing?"

"They were arguing in the house, across the yard, I couldn't hear clearly."

Du Mai was restless, and he quarreled with Fan Tan for two days in a row. Last night, he quarreled until the middle of the night. All kinds of abnormal signs could not help but make people suspicious. Xun Zhen thought: "Are they arguing about whether or not to betray me? If so, since these two people are arguing, it is obvious that they have different opinions, and I don't know who is unwilling to betray me and who wants to betray me. of?"

He guessed and said, "Last year, when Fan Tan contracted typhoid fever, it was I who diagnosed and treated Yanyi and saved his life. I have the grace to save his life; Du Mai came to vote for me, and I appointed him as Lieutenant Shi at that time. , give him generous support, and it is not a bad treatment for him. If these two people are arguing about whether or not to betray me, then who doesn't want to betray me, and who wants to betray me? "

It is said to have saved Fan Tan's life, and it may be Fan Tan who does not want to betray him, but Xun Zhen knows Fan Tan and Fan Shang very well, and knows that both his brothers are selfish people. Last year, Fan Tan contracted typhoid fever. If it were Fan Shang who contracted typhoid fever, Fan Tan would be the same as Fan Shang treated him. For the sake of self-protection, he would abandon Fan Shang, and he would still be so cold to his brothers of the same birth, let alone Xun Zhen?

Thinking of it this way, it's more likely that Du Mai wouldn't betray him. But Du bought this person, Xun Zhen also knew his xìng, this person is famous and famous, or he would not have known that he had offended Xun Zhen before and ran thousands of miles to defect to Xun Zhen, although Xun Zhen appointed him as Lieutenant Shi at that time, It’s not a bad treatment, but after coming to Wei County, Xun Zhen was unwilling to hire someone who was incompetent like Du Mai for the time being, in order to avoid bad comments from the county, so Du Mai is currently without a job, as at this time , Will Du Mai betray him after being promised by Zhao Ran for Li Lu's future?

After pondering for a long time, Xun Zhen was unsure of both of them, and could not tell who was going to betray him and who didn't want to betray him.

If he couldn't judge, he put it down for the time being, and he asked Xun Cheng, "How about Li Xiang and He Yi?"

"He Yi's side, there has never been any suspicious person. Li Xiang's side..." Xun Cheng's face became solemn.

"how?"

Xun Cheng glanced outside the hall.

Seeing him being so cautious, Xun Zhen's heart suddenly sank, and he called Dian Wei to approach and instructed: "Keep the hall door and don't allow anyone to approach."

Dian Wei Weng answered his promise, raised his halberd and tiger in front of the hall, and stared at the porch far and near, and the courtyard in front.

Xun Cheng moved to Xun Zhen's seat and said in a low voice, "Just before I came here, I received an urgent report. Yesterday, Li Hu sent an assistant to Fanyang to see Li Xiang in secret."

"Li Hu sent an assistant?"

"Yes."

It was Zhao Ran's client who had been in contact with Li Xiang all the time, but why did Li Hu suddenly send an assistant to see Li Xiang in secret?

Xun Zhen quickly guessed the reason. It might be that Zhao Ran's client had confided Zhao Ran's bribe to Li Xiang, and Li Xiang might have agreed. In this case, Zhao Ran would definitely have to send someone competent. I met with Li Xiang for a detailed discussion, but Zhao Ran’s trusted cronies were well-informed. In order to avoid being discovered, Li Hu instead sent a cronified assistant representative of Zhao Ran and Li Hu to meet with Li Xiang.

"Have you met Li Xiang?"

"I see. The person monitoring Li Xiang reported that the person Li Hu sent was the door of Li Xiang's house that entered at dusk yesterday, and he was leaving this morning."

"Rì twilight", that is to go to Li Xiang before night, this is clearly to avoid attracting other people's attention. It was suspicious that Li Hu sent someone to contact Li Xiang, but the person Li Hu sent was so cautious and even more suspicious that it could be concluded that this person must have a secret mission.

And this person stayed at Li Xiang's house all night, so even if Li Xiang didn't talk to him for the whole night, let's talk about it in the middle of the night. What did they talk about? And what is the "mission" that requires Li Hu's assistant to be so cautious?

Xun Zhen looked outside the hall, no one passed by, only the majestic back of Dian Wei standing with a halberd.

Xun Cheng waited for a while, and seeing that Xun Zhen was speechless, he opened his mouth again and said, "Your Majesty, you must stop and let go of the chaos!"

Xun Zhen thought that the emperor was merciful, even women and enemies like Wu Concubine could be "influenced" by him, but Li Xiang and others finally showed the intention of betraying him! Xun Zhen closed her eyes and let out a long breath.

Du Mai and Fan Tan are just that Du Mai seems to have something on their mind, and the two of them have an argument. There is no solid evidence that they want to betray Xun Zhen, but Li Xiang is almost certainly going to betray, Li Hu is Zhao Ran's The lackeys, Xun Zhen and Zhao Ran fought fiercely. As a person who was used by Xun Zhen, Li Xiang had no intention of betraying Xun Zhen, and would definitely not accept Li Hu's messenger to get started and talk with him secretly.

Recalling Li Xiang's various performances since he joined him, recalling the various credit promotions he had given to him, Xun Zhen felt sad.

At the battle of Cangting in Dongjun, Li Xiang was captured by Xin Ai, Liu Deng, and Dian Wei, and Xunzhen was surrendered.

Li Xiang saw that Xunzhen was heroic, shrewd and adept at fighting, and there were Confucian scholars under the tent. Zhong recommended and Xun Zhen, Xun Zhen then hired him.

Xun Zhen was the lieutenant of Zhao County, and ordered Xu Zhong to attack Zuo Xu, while Li Xiang was under Jiang Qin's command. Jiang Qin saw that the bandit flag was dusty, and thought that the bandits were too numerous to attack, so Li Xiang spoke up, and Jiang Qin attacked. After the war, because of Xu Zhong's orders, Jiang Qin recklessly reported Li Xiang's achievements to Xun Zhen. Xun Zhen summoned Li Xiang. Li Xiang knew that Xunzhen was a descendant of the famous clan, and he compared his words with words. His appearance was mighty, but his words were elegant. Xun Zhen was curious about him. Be very affectionate, call him "Qing". Li Xiang was a good ranger, but Xìng took off lightly, but Xun Zhen still remembered how happy he was about to lose his temper when he was called "Qing" by himself.

Julu attacked Zhang Feiyan, Li Xiang was the vanguard, and made many contributions. Xun Zhen hosted a banquet to entertain the generals, and in front of the people at the banquet, he called Li Xiang to the front of the table, brought him wine in person, and gave him a sword. I was so grateful at the time.

After he came to Wei County, Xun Zhen appointed him as Shou Fan Yang Cheng. At the same time, most of the Shou Cheng and Wei were Xun Zhen's old friends from Xixiang, such as Li Bo, Gao Su and Jiang Hu. Xun Zhen had already made him. Put it on the same level as Gao Su and others.

With the past vivid in his mind, Xun Zhen opened his eyes and let out a long sigh.

Xun Zhen was not as discriminatory towards the generals and soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army as the vast number of scholars, and he knew that the world was going to be in chaos, and he was thirsty for talents. He could also be given a fair appointment. He treated Li Xiang well, but he was still betrayed by Li Xiang after all.

Xun Zhen thought: "Li Boqin, Li Boqin, you can refuse Zhao Ran's guests once or twice, but why can't you refuse the third time?" This incident also woke Xun Zhen, no matter what, once it opens If you have a hole, you will probably get out of control. You have to "prevent micro-prevention" for yourself, and "prevent micro-prevention" for your subordinates. Be lenient where you should be lenient, and never be lenient where you shouldn't.

Xun Cheng said: "Although Li Xiang has surrendered to the monarchs and lords, the thief will not change. I heard that he first learned the "Yi" in his hometown in the past, but not long ago, he abandoned it, changed to the art of war, abandoned it again, and learned to ride the lance. , it can be seen that his personality is uncertain, and I have heard that he often claims to have great ambitions. Self-professed ambitions are changeable, so it is not surprising that he betrayed the prince and joined the Zhao family. For nothing, why should the prince be sentimental?"

"Since he has surrendered, he is my subject, so how can he be surrendered to captives? My brother used to act respectfully and cautiously at home, but why is he doing the opposite in the army now?"

Li Xiang betrayed Xun Zhen. There are reasons why Xun Cheng analyzed him, and there are also reasons why the generals of Yi Cong looked down on Li Xiang and regarded him as a captive, especially after Jiang Qin and him were at odds, the generals of Yi Cong looked down on him. People from Lixi Township rejected him even more, and sometimes insulted him.

Although Xun Cheng had some unrefined hobbies, such as collecting tile dang, he was born in a noble family, and he had the habit of being a scholar, not to mention Li Xiang and other thieves, but Xu Zhong, Jiang Qin, etc. People also lacked the respect from the heart, but because they knew that these people were Xun Zhen's claws of prey and tigers and leopards in the army, rì could often treat them with courtesy. It's okay to treat Xu Zhong and Jiang Qin with courtesy, but he really despises Li Xiang and other thieves.

After Xun Zhen's criticism, Xun Cheng disapproved.

Xun Zhen saw that he didn't listen to what he said, and said, "Do you know why I put you in the righteousness?"

"In order to hold the military power, so as not to fall by the wayside."

"Quiet and deep, with prestige, my brother figured it out, who is with Junqing? Rushing the camp, beheading generals and capturing the flag, brother, who is self-conceived, which is with A-Deng? With A Bao? Courageous and brave, leading the troops with his own body, my brother guessed it, who will be with Chen Shu? Awei is a tiger minister, Zilong is loyal and strong, Xiahoulan knows the military law, and Chen Wu is firm and comprehensible. The length of a person is something that my brother can predict by himself. How about it? Also, Gao Zixiu, Gao Jia, Gao Bing, Su Ze, Su Zheng and others also have their own lengths. In terms of art and literature, Gao Zixiu is far inferior to his elder brother, but if he is better than his elder brother, the elder brother can predict it, so what?

Xun Cheng was dumbfounded.

"In the past, Gaozu asked the ministers how to gain the world, and the ministers answered all of them unsatisfactory. He said to himself: 'It is not as good as Zhang Liang to strategize strategies, not as good as Xiao He in controlling the country and the people, and not as good as Han Xin in defeating and attacking, and these three are all for my use, so The world is like this. It is the same in winning the battlefield. Everyone has their own shortcomings and their own strengths. If the generals can use their strengths and avoid their own weaknesses, then there are thousands of cities and a hundred battles. Worrying too much? Han Xin's generals and soldiers, the more the better, but for the emperor to capture, why? Han Xin is good at generals and soldiers, and Gaozu is good at generals. Brother, Gongda is not good at cavalry, and the only ones who can command soldiers are brother and Yulang, Yulang is straightforward and natural It's hard to go against the sky, and I can rely on him to be the only one in the army who is Taishan! The brother must be diligent and gracious, and he must be gracious and righteous. Uncle Zhi people, if you don’t follow my words, you are like arrogant people, you are arrogant, you despise others, and if your life changes, you and I, Gongda, are not in Yingchuan, hanging thousands of miles away alone, without caring. Pro, call without party, how about Nai?"

Xun Cheng was horrified and said, "What the prince taught, Cheng must remember."

Li Xiang's betrayal is an important matter that needs to be resolved immediately, but righteousness is the foundation of Xun Zhen's current and future existence. Therefore, when Xun Cheng repeatedly showed contempt for Li Xiang, Xun Zhen immediately pointed out, Ask him to correct his attitude toward the generals of righteousness.

When he heard Xun Zhen's questions, Xun Cheng already felt that his contempt for Xu Zhong and others was a bit wrong, and when he heard Xun Zhen's last sentence, "If life changes, Gongda and you will be far away from Ying. Chuan, hangs thousands of miles away, cares about no relatives, calls and has no party, how can he be?" After just imagining it for a while, he broke out in a cold sweat and realized what he had done before.

After accepting Xun Zhen's criticism, he picked up what he had just said, and said to Xun Zhen: "What I did in the past was wrong, but Li Xiang is going to rebel now, lord, don't have the kindness of women."

This is the first time Xun Zhen has faced the betrayal of his subordinates, and the one who betrayed him was someone he held high regard for. Although he knew that Zhao Ran was bribing Li Xiang for a long time, when things came to an end, the most worrying result appeared. There will inevitably be mood swings. He has fought on the battlefield for many years, and after many battles, he is by no means a woman with benevolence, but who has no feelings? The more you invest your feelings, the more you will struggle when it comes to making a decision. This struggle is not about whether you should make a decision or not, but a painful struggle knowing that you must make a decision.

He closed his eyes for a while, and felt deeply that he had experienced Zhuge Liang's emotions when he beheaded Ma Su with tears. Although Li Xiang couldn't compare to Ma Su, this was the first subordinate who betrayed him and would be killed by his order. He opened his eyes and looked outside the lookout hall again. This time he looked at the sky, the blue sky and white clouds. The early winter sun shone down on the earth. It was early after the hottest afternoon when the wind blew through the treetops and made a whistle-like sound.

He thought bitterly: "Is Li Boqin's festival better than a woman?" He said to Xun Cheng, "Wait a day, if Li Xiang doesn't come to see me, you will send someone to Fanyang the day after tomorrow, be sure to choose a close friend. Reliable people can't show a little bit of wind."

He handwritten a secret letter, sealed it, gave it to Xun Cheng, and then said: "You send this letter to Fanyang to the person who is monitoring Li Xiang, and tell him that you should take care of Li Xiang today and tomorrow, such as leaving the county. You can use this letter to find Shuye to transfer troops and stop him."

Although Li Xiang met Li Hu's disciples, maybe he would report to Xun Zhen like Cheng Jia? If there is no news from him until tomorrow night, then there is no need to hold any hope for him, and it can be concluded that he is going to betray Xun Zhen.

As for Li Xiang today and tomorrow, it is to prevent him from being connected to Zhao's house by Zhao Ran. The current Chief Shou Fanyang is Xuan Kang, he can be trusted completely, and he has never heard that Zhao Ran sent someone to approach him. As long as Xun Zhen's letter is shown to him, he will obey the order.

Xun Cheng replied, "No." He asked Xun Zhen, "Where are Du Mai and Fan Tan?"

Li Xiang was in contact with Li Hu's people, and Du Mai and Fan Tan have no conclusive evidence. Xun Zhen called Dian Wei in and ordered, "Send someone to get Du Mai and Fan Tan."

Dian Wei was ordered to go out and sent people to find the two.

Xun Cheng asked, "Why did Junhou call them here? I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to do it in the manor."

"I'm not trying to kill the two of them in the house."

"That is?"

"I want to ask them both in person. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

Xun Cheng knew in his heart that this must be because Li Xiang's incident had stimulated Xun Zhen, and that's why he made this move.

Xun Cheng guessed right, indeed. Xun Zhen treats people with kindness and righteousness, but the other party repays them with betrayal.

Du Mai and Fan Tan had no soldiers and no power, so Xun Zhen called them into the mansion, and they couldn't get into trouble. Xun Cheng didn't need to persuade Xun Zhen about this, but just to be cautious, he said to Xun Zhen: "My lord and I Hou asked the two of them face to face together, how?"

"No, you go back to the camp now, and send someone to send me a letter to Fanyang."

This is a big event, and it cannot be delayed. Xun Cheng agreed to his promise, left the hall, left the hall, looked back at Xun Zhen who was sitting alone in the hall, summoned Dian Wei, and said to him, "Wait for Du Mai and Fan Tan to come over. , you have to be more vigilant."

Dian Wei was loyal and Xun Zhen trusted him very much. He was the only one who knew about Li Xiang, Du Mai and others except Xun Cheng and Xun You.

He nodded in agreement.
