Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 940 Chaos

  Below the city of Xinfeng County, Xiliang’s big camp has set up a large area under the city. Although the fighting is still strict and the whistle is strict, the morale and morale of the army seem to be very different from when Chang’an was just taken down.

  The army is still the same army, and the soldiers are still these soldiers, but the form in front of them is quite different. In the past, inside and outside Chang'an City, showing off its power in front of the two palaces of Weiyang and Changle, seems to be the last glory of this Xiliang warrior...

First, Sucheng suffered a complete defeat, and then the Tongguan Pass fell, and now it is quite besieged. If Li Jue was not still there, for the current Xiliang soldiers, I am afraid that they would have packed up their parcels and left Chang'an Sanyuan far away. Fu, planning to go back to Xiliang.

I don't know when it started, the Qiang people under Xiliang have already started to have some rumors, saying that in fact, Wuzhang Plain in the west has already lost, and Ma Teng and Han Sui have to clean up, and they are even more powerless to resist up. As soon as this remark came out, even the original Xiliang veterans were a little uneasy. Although they were somewhat loyal to Li Jue, they couldn't resist the attack from three sides. What is the way out? What should I do with the floating wealth I looted in Chang'an? Not to mention how long the banner of Xiliang can fly after losing its current foundation?

   For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the army, and the spirit and energy that they had just set off from Chang'an were gone, and everyone was downcast. If it weren't for Li Jue's prestige, he might have been on the verge of disintegration.

  As these rumors spread, the soldiers inside and outside Xinfeng City became even more flustered. Everyone was paying attention to Li Jue, and they were all waiting for Li Jue to come up with some countermeasures...

However, Li Jue has only patrolled the city back and forth these two days, and has no specific layout plan, let alone dispatching troops. However, when he inspects the west side of Xinfeng City, Li Jue often stops for a long time , looking up, as if waiting for something.

  However, today, in the west of Xinfeng City, a group of scouts appeared. The horseshoes rolled up a row of yellow sand and came straight to Xinfeng! Immediately, a group of cruising sentries rushed out from the camp under Xinfeng City. After stopping the scouts who came from afar, they checked for a while, and then led them to the head of the city where Li Jue was.

  The scouts came to Li Jue, fell to the ground, took out a small bamboo tube sealed with wax from the breastplate, and offered it with both hands.

  Li Jue inspected the wax for a while, then broke open the bamboo tube impatiently, took out the towel, unfolded it, and after scanning a few lines, his brows loosened a lot, and a smile appeared on his face...

  Li Jue put away the scarf and silk, then suddenly shook his cloak, turned around and walked down the city, saying, "Beat the drums! Send orders! Raise the account!"

  The sound of the rumbling drums sounded, and the officers and men of Li Jue's army gathered from all over the place and arrived at Li Jue's big tent.

Li Jue looked at the people in the tent with a smile. These people were also his confidantes, and even a large part of them were his clansmen. Do you think someone has no heart to fight now?"

   "..." Everyone suddenly looked up at Li Jue.

  Li Jue didn't wait for anyone to answer, but continued directly: "Do you all think that the current situation is irreversible?"

  People in the big tent looked around, not knowing how to answer.

  Li Jue raised his head and laughed loudly, pointed at Dongfang, and said loudly: "Why don't you dare to speak out? Not only you, I'm afraid they will think that XX has no intention of fighting!"

After laughing for a while, the smile on Li Jue's face gradually narrowed, and there was a coldness between his eyebrows and eyes, and words burst out from between his teeth: "Chang'an is ours! No one can take it away! Don't give these things to us!" If you guys teach me a lesson, you **** think we are easy to bully! How many years have you been in the bitter cold frontier? Haven’t you had enough? Now you’re going to hand over Chang’an City and go back to that place where no shit, you guys Damn, I am willing? Even if I really take everyone away with money and raise a banner elsewhere, how long can I live? How strong are the talents in Shandong now, do you think that someone is timid? A joke! Is it true that after so many years in the battlefield, Lao Tzu has all been mixed up?"

Li Jueteng stood up suddenly, looked around the crowd viciously, and said: "If you want to live well, you can only rely on strength! If you don't win this battle, no matter where we go, it will be a dead end! Only by defeating these guys can we gain a foothold." Just relying on the land of Sanfu, it will not be thousands of times better than Xiliang! This is my city, this is our land, no one can take it away from us! Who the **** dares to stretch out his claws , tell me what to do?"

   "Chop his mother!" Everyone replied habitually without thinking.

   Regardless of whether Li Jue's previous words sounded realistic or targeted, at least in the eyes of everyone in the big tent, Li Jue was still as majestic as before, and everyone was refreshed.

  General Li Jue did not lose heart, as long as the breath is still there, and the waist is still not collapsed, then the morale will not be bad, and there will be more fights in this battle! This general trend, maybe there is still something to do! It's just, how did General Li Jue's confidence come from, and how can he find a way to victory in this terrible situation in front of him?

  Li Jue smiled, and said with a relaxed expression: "You are all my confidantes who have been with me for many years, and it is time to greet you first... If something is right, the opportunity for this big change should be in the next few days..."

  As soon as Li Jue finished speaking, everyone in the big tent straightened their backs, and some of them were more straightforward, so they couldn't help but ask first: "General, what is the opportunity for a big change?"

Li Jue laughed, pointed to his feet, and said, "This place, according to those guys who dropped their book bags, is called... well, the place of the Fourth World War! It is definitely a place that is not suitable for defense! But there is a certainty Two, this place is difficult for us to defend, hahaha, it is equally difficult for them to defend!"

   "The reason why we are aggrieved these days is because our cavalry has to stay in Wuzhangyuan! As a result, we don't have enough strength at hand to impress these guys! But now, hahahaha, the situation has changed!"

  Some people in the big tent reacted quickly and already guessed what it was, and couldn't help but said: "Could it be that we won the battle in Wuzhangyuan?"

Li Jue twitched his lips, glanced at the guy, and continued: "It's better than winning! General Ma has agreed to join hands with someone to fight together, and now he has led three thousand cavalry troops. Days, we can come here! Not only that, the brothers who were originally in Wuzhangyuan will also come one after another, so that our troops will be superior!"

  Everyone in the big tent was quiet for a while, as if they had digested the news, and then exploded instantly, everyone was overjoyed.

Li Jue sneered and said, "These people in Shandong are crazy about wanting Chang'an! The emperor wants it too, civil servants and military generals want it too, and even us Xiliang soldiers want his mother's! It sounds good, what about helping the community and the righteousness of the family and the country are actually all about getting promoted and making a fortune! Sucheng and Tongguan have fallen one after another. If these guys work together, they should now advance hand in hand along the Weishui River from north to south! Haha, what happened now? It’s a dilemma in Baishuigou, and the other is still in Zheng County! Can’t you see this mutual restraint?”

   "They all want to take advantage of it, and they all want others to take the lead. Hahaha, these people from Shandong are nothing more than that... But that's okay, they gave us an excellent opportunity!"

Li Jue slammed on the table and made a loud bang, saying, "What are you afraid of such a discordant army? They want to fight, so let's fight! We'll be right here, waiting for them! The flat land is their burial place! When we Xiliang veterans were licking blood, these guys didn’t know where they were! Could it be that you are afraid of a group of peasants who just put down their hoes?!”

  The officers and officers in the big tent stood up abruptly and slapped their chests with their fists. The sound of armor leaves colliding was loud and loud, and the excited crowd expressed their disdain for the so-called peasants and soldiers.

When Li Jue saw this, he didn't stop immediately, but nodded, and when everyone had said something, he pointed to the east and said sharply: "People in Shandong will think that we are easy to attack here, and they think I have nowhere to go. They have no intention of fighting anymore! So under the urging of their commanding generals, they will hastily come to a decisive battle with us in order to **** Chang'an as soon as possible! And now is our best chance! On this flat land, we Who are the Xiliang cavalry afraid of?! If these Shandong people dare to rush to fight, that is when we will wipe them out and kill them all! Are you still afraid that you will not be able to win such a battle?!"

  Li Jue's tone was sharp, his eyes were like lightning, he just looked at his confidant military academy non-commissioned officers fiercely, these days Li Jue was also full of suffocation, and today he finally felt a little better. Everyone in the big tent seemed to have been pricked by needles, their hairs stood on end, and they stood up straight. The worry and depression they had had had been swept away long ago. Everyone looked excited and greeted everyone. Looking into Li Jue's eyes, they said in unison: "I'm not afraid of waiting! Please give me an order from the general!"

Li Jue nodded in satisfaction, and then extended his gaze to the far east. Amidst the chaotic voices of everyone calling for battle, he said in a deep voice: "I have taken care of the horses for the past two days! All the preparations are ready! Wait for the horses As soon as the general's troops arrive, they will set off immediately! When the time comes, that one will be slowed down and the military law will be used, don't blame me for not recognizing the old relationship!"

   "Follow the general's order!" Everyone in the big tent responded loudly.

   Leaving aside Xinfeng's ready-to-use Li Jue general, in the Baishuigou camp at this time, Fei Qian was holding Fei Min's letter, frowning and reading it carefully.

"...Nowadays, there is a small virtue, and I have been greatly favored. How will I repay it? Be cautious and respectful, and respect will lead to merit, and merit will bring blessings. If you are wise, you should not be in the middle of the world. If you are too arrogant and extravagant, you will suffer disaster. It was once said, "The one who congratulates is at the door, and the one who hangs at the house" is also the same reason. At the beginning of Qi Qinggong, he took advantage of the power of hegemony to lightly insult arrogance, laughed at the arrogance, but was saddled, escaped and died. Now you are good at raising troops, harassing the court, and refusing to go up, the mistake is serious, and you are in danger, and you have failed the holy grace, and the time is not right, and you sigh. Only respect the old man, keep the frontier, and caress him diligently , with the order of the king, Fang Zeng Jueyi, spread the Qing name..."

The writing is good, but a little confusing. It seems that Fei Min who wrote this letter is in a restless mood, but the meaning is probably understandable. It's just that this letter is not a simple letter from home. It means that Fei Min, Fei Qian's uncle, is now in the hands of Li Jue...

  After reading it, Fei Qian silently put the letter of Fei Min aside, and then asked the envoy sent by Li Jue who was standing at the bottom: "This letter... has been read, do you have any other explanations?"

  The envoy sent by Li Jue arched his hands and said: "Marquis Chiyang also knows that Marquis Fei is loyal to the country, but he is afraid of being deceived by Xiaoxiao, so I ask the Taizhong doctor to write a letter to report, and there is no other intention..."

   Fei Qian didn't speak, because he knew that what the envoy just said were some clichés, and the focus was not on this at all. Sure enough, after uttering some high-sounding words, the envoy's words changed.

"... Now the doctor of the Taizhong is in danger, and thanks to the grace, he leads the army to station in Xinfeng to prevent minor disturbances... Wang Feihou is sympathetic to the common people, and temporarily rests his swordsmanship. He will grant everything he asks..." The envoy's mouth is naturally to choose It's neat, but it's annoying if it's too neat. There are a lot of long-winded words, and only two sentences are the main points.

   Feiqian was silent for a moment, and said: "Someone knows about this matter, please step back and rest for a while."

  The envoy bowed his hands, bowed, and then retreated with a few soldiers without mentioning it.

   Fei Qian had some headaches, more of an accident, he didn't expect Li Jue to do this, what does this mean?

Not to mention in the Han Dynasty, even in the later generations, there were still many fathers and sons fighting for power and profit. Even if etiquette is the most important thing, you must declare war before starting a war, and you must first salute when you go to the battlefield. Father's is not uncommon, not to mention Er Yuan is standing in front of the thunder...

  Fei Qian handed the letter to Xu Shu who was beside him, and said, "What does Yuan Zhi think about this matter?"

  In fact, Xu Shu is also more difficult to deal with this matter, because after all, Fei Qian's family is involved, and if something is not handled properly, there will be some ties to it.

  Xu Shu thought more than Fei Qian.

  Does Li Jue mean a real truce, or is it a disguised temptation?

   Of course it is not the temptation of some high-ranking officials and rich salary, but to lure Fei Qian to attack Xinfeng?

   After all, sending troops to rescue Uncle is reasonable both in reason and emotion, but at the same time, it seems to be a delaying strategy, threatening him in the name of Uncle Fei Qian, influencing Fei Qian to make him hesitate?

  Xu Shu talked about the aspects he had considered, and then asked: "I don't know what the king thinks?"

   Feiqian nodded, shook his head again, stretched out a few fingers and tapped lightly on the table, wondering what he was thinking...
