Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 966
Today's morning in Chang'an is still calm.

As the birds above the treetops chirped against the rising sun, Zhong Shao sat in the hall in formal attire, with lowered eyebrows and a serious face.

In life, good news is often like a black cat sheriff, who pulls out a gun at every turn, type four big characters "see you next time", and then disappears forever, while bad news is like a gourd baby, the boss comes , and the second child, the third child, and the fourth child...

Well, that's pretty much it anyway.

Except for Europe.

Although Zhong Shao's face is quite white, white and round, with a very attractive appearance, but he still can't get rid of the fate of the gourd baby, um, the fate of bad news, not long after he got the critical news of Meiyang, I also received news about the defeat of Huangfusong in the east of Xinfeng City, and this is not counted. The officials sent by Zhong Shao to the surrounding counties to raise money and food for soldiers again encountered a lot of obstacles and delays in the open and in the dark. ...

Because Li Jue and Ma Teng led the troops to the east, the counties to the east of Chang'an were basically under the control of Li Jue and others. After the news that Zhong Shao and others took control of the court reached these areas, for example Like Xinfeng, Yinban and other county towns, they sent people to secretly report the movements of Li Jue and others to Chang'an.

At this time, Zhong Shaofang felt a little terrified.

How to do?
Xia Mou in the west is defending Wugong County. Although there are reports of the defeat of the Xiliang camp, Meiyang on the flank is worrying. Even if Xia Mou of martial arts is called to support Meiyang, it may not be able to protect Meiyang... …

After thinking about it all night, Zhong Shao, who hadn't slept all night, finally came up with some ideas, so he sent someone to invite Liu Fan.

Liu Fan also came very quickly. After all, Chang'an City is quite big and small, not to mention that some things are even more worrying now, so naturally they pay close attention to them.

"I've met Mr. Zhong." Liu Fan looked at Zhong Shao, saw his calm expression, and felt a little settled in his heart.

"Please sit down." Zhong Shao nodded and said, and then ordered his servants to prepare tea. After chatting for a while, he entered the topic.

"Mr. Zhong, how about ordering Xia Tingwei to lead the troops back to Beijing..." Liu Fan suggested after being silent for a while.

In fact, what Liu Fan wanted to say was to order Fei Qian to be recalled, so that Fei Qian could rush back from Sucheng to assist. After all, it only took three or four days for Kuaima to travel from Sucheng to Chang'an, which was completely in time.

But after all, you can’t speak directly. If you really do this, it’s almost tantamount to slapping Zhong Shao in the face. After all, it was Zhong Shao who decided before that he would not grant Fei Qian the important task...

Chong Shao's eyelids fluttered, he paused for a moment, shook his head and said: "You must first defeat the enemy in the west of the city before you can return to the east... Under Li Bandit, there are many cavalry. If Xia Tingwei returns to the army, Li Bandit Gather together with Han Fan and other thieves..."

The current situation is that most of Xiliang's cavalry are in the east of Chang'an, while most of Xiliang's soldiers in the west are infantry. It is okay to separate them now. Once Xiliang's cavalry and infantry unite, then It's not as simple as one plus one equals two.

"..." Liu Fan looked at Zhong Shao, but didn't say anything further.

Chong Shao said decisively: "Although Thief Li has cavalry, it is not good for the city. Therefore, as long as Han Fan is defeated, his troops will be defeated!"

"The seedling...does he have a plan?"

Chong Shao nodded, and then said: "A certain person wants to go to the court, and Feng Han's thief Xin Fenghou also..."

"Wonderful..." Liu Fan understood immediately. He first praised him, and then said, "...but it's a straightforward plan, and Fan Fan may not believe it easily..."

Zhong Shao smiled slightly, stared at Liu Fan, and said: "...What my nephew said is true, this plan needs to be successful, and I still need my nephew's help..."

******************
Meiyang City is already in a mess.

After Fan Chou attacked the city, he didn't have any nature to manage and appease the people. He carried the little girl who was brought up by his subordinates to the government office, and of course the Xiliang soldiers under him were like It was like a wild horse that had let go of the rein, scattered everywhere, looting everywhere in Meiyang City.

Although Han Sui felt that something was wrong, but seeing the situation, not to mention seeing Fan Chou's soldiers eating and playing so happily that they would die, it was unreasonable for him to restrict his men, so he just waved his hand and let him go. go...

Therefore, the people in Meiyang are basically completely abolished.

Not to mention the city of Meiyang, but no matter how small the county is, there are still two big households.Fan Chou stayed in the Meiyang government office, and Han Sui didn't bother to stay with this guy, so he went to the city and found a big family and stayed there.

The big family's surname is Luo, and it seems that he also served as the commander of that county before, so he is also called Mr. Luo Ling. As for the name...

Han Sui didn't bother to ask, and didn't even bother to remember what this person looked like.

Like Fan Chou, Han Sui looked down upon him to some extent, and used force for everything, so what is the difference between him and the Qiang Hu people?
If you want to eat something, just say it, and the Luo family will naturally send it up. If you want to play something, just throw a look in the past, and the old Luo with a wrinkled face and a smile like a chrysanthemum, of course, also rushed to deliver it to him. in front of you.

A group of warriors who only know how to use knives to rob, how can they know the beauty of what they are doing now?
Moreover, in order to keep his own food, Lao Luotou sold some of the relatively large households in the surrounding area who had relatively more savings. quite a few...

Therefore, when Han Sui faced Lao Luotou, he smiled more and more cordially, and under the flattery of Lao Luotou, he spent two comfortable days.

However, the happy time is always short, and Han Sui's leisurely life was soon broken.

"Ha ha……"

Han Sui turned over the seal ribbon of Marquis Xinfeng that he had delivered to him. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, he still couldn't hide the lack of joy in his heart.

Now he is also Lord Hou!
Liehou!
I skipped the Marquis of Guannei in one fell swoop, and went straight to the Marquis of Lie...

The Han family now also has a Marquis!Han Sui really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh, but he managed to control his excitement so as not to be too excited.

"General Fan is here!"

There was a sound of notification from his soldiers outside the courtyard, but before he could make any response, Fan Chou had strode in from the outside.

The faint smile on Han Sui's face was suppressed immediately, and then bloomed again. He gently placed the seal ribbon in his hand on the table, and then greeted him: "Ah, General Fan, why are you here today?" Did you come to Brother Yu?"

Fan Chou let out a hey, and then walked into the hall, saw the seal on the table at a glance, grinned at the corner of his mouth, grabbed the gold seal with his hand, threw it up and down twice, and said: " Ha! It’s still true! I didn’t expect General Han to become Lord Marquis... Will I call you Lord Han from now on?”

"Haha, you're welcome, guest..." Han Sui couldn't help subconsciously responding when he heard the three words "Han Houye", and immediately saw Fan Chou's face, and instantly put away the smile that had just climbed up the corner of his mouth, and looked straight at him. Said, "...what is the Hou Ye not the Hou Ye, a mere lieutenant, so-and-so doesn't pay attention at all... and he is called a general..."

"Oh?" Fan Chou squinted at Han Sui, half-believing, then threw the golden seal of Marquis Xinfengting on the table with a bang, and walked around to sit down.

Han Sui's eyes followed the newly released, still glamorous golden seal of Marquis Xinfengting rolling on the table, watching the golden seal smashed on the table, as if the corners were knocked a little bit, The corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily, then he turned his eyes away.

"I heard that the imperial court is planning to make General Fan a marquis, maybe the angel is on his way..." Han Sui laughed, and then sat down with Fan Chou.

"Hmph!" Fan Chou said dismissively, "Cut... I killed so many high officials in the court, and I still give him the title of Marquis? Why, the more you kill, the higher the title? What if you kill that little emperor?" Now, I can be the emperor?!"

"..." Han Sui was speechless.

Fan Chou rolled his eyelids, and said with a half-smile, "Why, Lord Han, do you want to go to the capital to take up the post? If you need my younger brother to prepare some Cheng Yi, just ask for it, and my younger brother will help Lord Han!"

The flesh on the side of Han Sui's cheek twitched, and he said with a smile: "How could it be! This is clearly a trick of the Chang'an people, how could someone be fooled!"

"Oh?!" Fan Chou sat upright, looked up and down at Han Sui, and said, "What do you say?"

"To be honest, Brother Yu couldn't see it at first... After all, he is a prince, isn't he? How many people want it but can't get it. Brother Yu was naturally confused for a while, but..." Han Sui twirled his beard slightly , paused for a while, rolled his eyeballs slightly left and right a few times, and then said, "...This is a plan to alienate and slow down the army. How can we hide it from someone?"

"...Divorce," Han Sui said with a serious face, "...Naturally, it is to separate the feelings between you and my brothers. If you are suspicious, you will inevitably have a little discord during the march. It gave the side martial arts army an opportunity to take advantage of...Think about it, brother, if you and I really fell out over such a so-called false name, wouldn't those guys in Chang'an be so happy?"

Fan Chou smacked his mouth twice, tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded, and said, "What brother Han said seems to be the truth..."

"...That's right... Brother, think again, where is Xinfeng? It's to the east of Chang'an, far away from here!" Han Sui slapped his hands and continued, "In this way, those guys in Chang'an Isn't the meaning very clear? If a certain heart is moved, and he really goes to Xinfeng to become a marquis, then wouldn't he have to separate from his brother, and once you and I separate, the army will definitely decrease a lot. Come on, you and I can only end up being defeated one by one! Brother! You know, now if you and I work together, we will win, and if we divide, we will lose! Don't fall into the tricks of the people in Chang'an easily! "

When Fan Chou heard this, he suddenly realized that he slapped the table with a "bang", and said angrily, "These gutless guys only know how to play tricks!"

Han Sui nodded with a smile.

"By the way, brother Han just said that there is a delay..." Fan Chou looked at Han Sui, leaning forward slightly, and said.

"Ah? Oh..." Han Sui nodded, "...Yeah, there is still a way to delay the attack... Brother, look, if you and I are here, we will argue about this empty name, or let someone have some problems. Slacking off, delaying the timing of the march, and then giving the people of Chang'an a chance to breathe, let them raise more troops to surround you and me, so..."

The more Han Sui spoke, the more solemn his face became.

Fan Chou stood up abruptly, turned around twice, and suddenly turned around and said, "Brother Han can see clearly! Maybe the people from Chang'an are attacking Brother Li, so this trick is used to delay you and me!"

Han Sui was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, then nodded, and said solemnly: "...There is indeed a possibility..."

"Send troops now! March into Chang'an!" Fan Chou jumped up when he heard the words, "Brother Han, what do you mean?"

After you've said all this, what do you mean by asking me again?
Although Han Sui thought so in his heart, he still nodded and said, "That's exactly what I mean."

"Okay!" Fan Chou responded, turned around and walked out, shouting as he walked, "Come on! Play the trumpet and tell those bastards, no matter what the **** are doing, I will get ready in an hour! Send troops to Chang'an!"

Han Sui watched Fan Chou leave, stood silently for a while, then took the golden seal of Marquis Xinfengting and rubbed it in his hand, wiped the scratched place with his thumb, and then slowly took it away In the sac, and then hung on the side of his belt...

"Come here." Han Sui ordered lightly, "Send the order down, pack up the food, grass and equipment, and prepare to leave."

A soldier outside the hall answered loudly, turned around and went out to deliver the order

Han Sui walked slowly outside the courtyard with his hands behind his back, and when he saw the old Luo head beside him, he smiled slightly and waved to him.

Old Luo walked over nodding and bowing, his wrinkled face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile: "General, ah, Lord Hou, I don't know what to order, the little old man will do it for Lord Hou right away!"

Han Sui laughed, and said, "I said, old Luo, well, I have been nagging you for the past two days, and it has caused you a lot of trouble..."

"Master Hou is polite, please be polite..." Old Luo smiled, "...It is our Luo family's honor that Master Hou can come to the house, as long as Master Hou is happy, happy..."

"Hmm... happy, happy, I feel a little reluctant to leave..." Han Sui twisted his neck and made a rattling sound, and then he didn't look at Lao Luo again, and walked forward slowly, walking side by side. Said, "You're welcome, you're welcome, I am a person who knows how to repay kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge, otherwise wouldn't I become a villain? How about this, I have been honored by the emperor and granted the title of Marquis of Xinfengting. Isn’t there a shortage of manpower? So, Lao Luo, you and your family, just follow me, to be honest, give me a chance to thank you, right?”

The chrysanthemums all over Lao Luo's face immediately scattered, his eyes widened and he hesitated and said: "...Ah! Lord Hou... Master Hou is kind, the little old man understands, understands...but the homeland is hard to leave, little I'm used to it here in Meiyang..."

Han Sui stopped, turned around slowly, looked at old Luo and said, "Oh?! Is Mr. Luo Ling unwilling to go with someone?"

The old Luo fell to his knees with a plop, kowtowed and said, "Master Hou! For the sake of the little old man's hard work these past few days, let the little old man stay here. It's really hard to leave the homeland... Hou Grandpa..."

"It's hard to leave my homeland...yes, it's hard to leave my homeland..." Han Sui sighed slightly, then nodded and said, "...Well, a certain person is also a person who left his homeland, so he can understand it. Since Mr. Luo Ling doesn't May, then... stay here, and be a companion with other..."

"Ah! Thank you, Lord Hou! Thank you, Lord Hou!" Lao Luo didn't hear clearly the pronoun that Han Sui muttered after "others", but he was overjoyed when he heard that he could stay here. After a few strokes, when I looked up again, I realized that Han Sui had gone far.

"Huh..." Old Luo Tou let out a long breath, and just about to stand up, he suddenly found a lot of Xiliang soldiers coming outside the courtyard...

"You...what are you going to do?" Lao Luo shouted loudly, "This...here is...this is the residence of General Han, Lord Han! What are you going to do?"

"General Han is here?" A dozen or so Xiliang soldiers laughed, "Then who did we meet just now? Can General Han still be a double? Hahaha..."

"Okay!" a long-looking Xiliang soldier shouted, "Move faster! If you miss the time, the whip will not recognize anyone!"

"You! You..." Lao Luo was still waiting to stop him, but he was kicked to the ground by a Xiliang soldier in the chest, and then he was kicked hard on the head and hit the bluestone on the ground , Amid the sound of bone cracking, blood flowed from the head immediately, less air was drawn in and more air was released.

Blood flowed down from the top of his head along the wrinkles on Lao Luo's face, as if every wrinkle was soaked in blood, and his eyes turned blood red.Lao Luo tried his best to raise his head, trembling, and weakly wanted to get up again, but he couldn't turn over. In the end, he could only slump on the ground, and only heard waves of laughter from Xiliang soldiers in the yard. , mixed with the angry shouts and screams of the familiar family members...

"Oh my god..." Lao Luo raised his head and stared at the blood-red sky, spitting out a few blood bubbles, "Oh my god, open your eyes..."
