Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 272
Zheng Chu looked at Fei Qian who was going away, the smile on his face froze a little bit, and he murmured in a low voice: "Cai Zhonglang, instead of being angry, I will seek my own death! Alas! Don't blame me..."

After pondering for a while, Zheng Cui shouted loudly: "Tell Li Junhou to come!" Another servant was called, and after a few words, the servant took orders and left in a hurry.

After a while, Li Junhou came, entered the hall, saluted Zheng Cui respectfully, and then lowered his hands to wait for Zheng Cui's words.

The news of Guo Pu's failure was a heavy blow to these Xiliang soldiers who stayed in Hangu Pass, especially those like Li Junhou, who used to rely on Guo Pu's name, and some of them pretended to be powerful, so they hurriedly behaved with their tails between their legs.

Zheng Cui looked at Li Junhou, and kept silent.This guy who had been indifferent to him before, now stands cautiously at the bottom, feeling a little pleased in his heart.

The silence spreading in the hall was a kind of enjoyment for Zheng Chu, but it was a kind of torment for Li Junhou. After a while, Li Junhou's temples were soaked with sweat.

Zheng Cui spoke slowly, word by word, as if to make Li Junhou, who was illiterate, fully understand: "Li Junhou, Captain Guo, did you really receive the military order from Guo Zhonglang?"

"...Here," a bead of sweat dripped from Li Junhou's forehead to the ground, he hesitated, and said, "Reporting to the Customs Order, I'm not very clear about this matter..."

"Oh?" Zheng Cui couldn't deny it, and flicked his robe lightly, as if flicking away a bug, "Li Junhou, let me ask, Guo Duwei transferred three hundred soldiers under you, Using Tiger Talisman, Scepter, Yiwen, or something else?"

Li Junhou was in charge of [-] cavalry, and this time he followed Guo Duwei for [-], leaving only [-] in the city.Although Zheng Cui's voice was not loud, it shook Li Junhou slightly like a thunder, and a few beads of sweat trickled down his cheeks.

Li Junhou didn't even care to wipe it off, he hesitated and said: "...Yes, it's a tiger charm..."

The most formal way to deploy troops in the Han Dynasty was to use tiger charms.

However, because of the poor flexibility of the Tiger Talisman, sometimes some temporary incidents happen to the local prefects and governors, such as bandits and water thieves, etc. Most of them have been repaired after the disaster, and in most cases, they have lost their timeliness and have no effect.

So in the later period, it became the scepter of the local prefect and important court officials, and troops can also be dispatched to carry out some military operations, but they must be reported to the court afterwards and evaluated according to the results. If it is out of necessity and there are positive results Yes, most of them will be exempted from punishment, but if it leads to the defeat of the army, they must also bear certain responsibilities.

However, there is only one scepter for the local prefect and important officials of the imperial court. If it is necessary to mobilize multiple troops, it will inevitably be insufficient. Therefore, Yiwen appeared, and the seal was stamped in the form of a document to prove that the person who dispatched the troops and the use.When Sun Jian left Changsha, he also falsely claimed that Zhang Wen had transferred the book...

"Tiger Talisman?" Zheng Chu repeated, chuckled, and said, "Whose Tiger Talisman did you use? Guo Zhonglang's? Or...Guo Duwei's?"

Li Junhou swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and said in a hoarse voice: "...Yes, yes, it belongs to Captain Guo..."

"Oh..." Zheng Cui nodded, then said nothing, and stared at Li Junhou closely. After a while, he suddenly slapped the table and shouted: "Li Junhou! You are playing tricks on me!" ?! There is neither Guo Zhonglang's tiger talisman scepter nor Yiwen, how dare you claim to be ordered by Zhonglang?"

Li Junhou trembled all over, and quickly distinguished: "Guan Ling is a clear lesson! It is... it is what Guo Duwei said. There is Zhonglang's order, and I am under its jurisdiction. How can I question the military order?"

Zheng Kui slapped the table again and said: "Nonsense! You lead the soldiers of the imperial court, privately entrusting troops to the front, cunning and arguing behind, ignoring the laws and regulations of the country! Come on! Take it down quickly! "

Immediately, more than a dozen soldiers poured in from outside the hall, and surrounded Li Junhou, who repeatedly complained but did not dare to resist, pushed his shoulders, folded his back, and tied up Li Junhou. solid.

Seeing that Li Junhou had been tied up, Zheng Cui breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Your words are true and false, and we will confront him after we find Captain Guo...put him in prison first."

Hearing this, Li Junhou couldn't tell the difference, so he was pushed away dejectedly.

In the hall, Zheng Cui touched the seal ribbon he took out from Li Junhou's body, called Chen Junhou, then handed Li Junhou's seal ribbon to him, and gave him some instructions in a low voice.

Chen Junhou took the order and left in a hurry...

Fei Qian is unwilling to turn back, not because he has confidence in Zheng Chu, but because he has confidence in Hangu Pass. After so many years in the Han Dynasty, those who volunteered to offer the city are not counted. Hangu Pass has never been attacked and taken down a few times. of.

Therefore, it is better to wait for the road to clear in Hangu Pass before moving forward than to go back and forth in vain.

Otherwise, maybe I just returned to Luoyang, only to hear that the yellow turban bandits in Xin'an had been eliminated and the roads were clear again. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to die at that time?
But Zheng Cui's attitude seemed a little weird, especially when he said he was going to stay in Hangu Pass and wait, that expression was smiling, but it made Fei Qian feel that there was an indescribable feeling, It's complicated anyway...

To be on the safe side, Fei Qian called Huang Cheng and asked him to make arrangements. From now on, the soldiers under him would take turns to rest in case of accidents.

Huang Cheng took the order to leave, but Fei Qian's uneasiness still didn't decrease much. After walking around the post house twice, he still couldn't sit still, so he planned to go out for a walk again, even if it was to get some air.

But when Fei Qian just walked to the gate of the post station, he heard a commotion on the west side of the city, and the people on the road were running around like headless chickens...

Fei Qian stopped a person to ask, but got a shocking news——

The Yellow Turban Bandits actually appeared in the west of the city, and they are about to attack the city!

This!
How can this be?

The most unexpected thing happened to Fei Qian.

Could it be that the Yellow Turban Thieves really swelled their confidence to such an extent that they even wanted to attack such a powerful pass as Hangu Pass?

This is incredible!
What's more, Hangu Pass is not a huge granary. Although it does store some grain and grass to be transported westward from Luoyang, it is obviously not worth the candle!

In particular, what's the point of having the Yellow Turban Bandits occupy Hangu Pass?
Is it really impossible to go east and attack Luoyang City?
If not for these reasons, then what is the purpose of the Yellow Turban Bandit Chen Hangu Pass?
　In Longzhong, Shutong asked Zhuge: "Why does Uncle Liu want to see you again and again?"

　　Zhuge replied: "Xuande panicked!"

　　After three visits, Zhuge was finally driven by Liu Bei...
