Xiaoguangong

Chapter 203 My brother won't come, I'll come!
Lu Hong took Liu Xiongming and his bandits away for interrogation. For credit, he was merciless in his actions. In less than half a day, more than ten people were tortured to death.

Under all kinds of inhuman torture, the bandit leader who even sent people to win over Xiao Xiao could not stand it anymore. He cried and confessed all his crimes, even the thing about peeing on the kang when he was a child. up.

Zhugeqian copied it in time, and sent someone to send it to Chang'an on a fast horse. In the middle of the night, the military newspaper finally appeared on Cao Ren's desk.

After Cao Ren finished reading the military newspaper, he was silent for a long time with an incredulous expression on his face, and then hurriedly asked someone to invite Zhong Yao, the captain of the Sili school who had been in Guanzhong for many years.

Zhong Yao is 58 years old this year. His grandfather is Zhong Hao, one of the four elders of Yingchuan, and his family background is very prominent.

As one of the old ministers of the emperor when he was in the dust, Zhong Yao began to work for Cao Cao in the fourth year of Jian'an. , He controlled Ma Teng and Han Sui with both soft and hard methods, beat the high officials, and the Southern Huns were defeated. He can be regarded as the most prestigious figure in Guanzhong.

These days he was so busy planning battles that he didn't touch the ground. When he heard Cao Ren's call, he immediately knew that something serious had happened, so he quickly put on his clothes and rushed to Cao Ren's residence.

When Cao Ren saw Zhong Yao, he forced himself to stand up and saluted, then threw the military report he had just received into Zhong Yao's hand, and said with a smile:

"Zhong Sili, our giant eagle made a small contribution this time, and cut off the spies Ma Chao sent to the rear. I wonder if it can calm Zhong Sili's anger?"

Zhong Yao opened the letter suspiciously and looked at it, his forehead was immediately covered with beads of sweat.

At his age, he thinks that his ability to know people has been perfected. Chang Diao didn't dare to come to Chang'an before, but hid in Tongguan to drink and have fun. Disaster for the whole army.

Unexpectedly, Chang Diao would have such forbearance, easily arrest and arrest Liu Xiongming, a bandit who has been hiding in the mountains, and even investigate a case along the way...

"Huh?" Looking at the ink on the military newspaper, Zhong Yao's palm couldn't help trembling violently a few times, "How is this possible?"

According to the military newspaper, Chang Diao detected that Chen Qun was about to rebel, and wanted to take advantage of the beginning of the war to rebel with the local nobles in the Shangyong area and cut off Yunshan's return.

"How is this possible..." Zhong Yao murmured again.

He had been busy in Guanzhong before. Although he had heard about the dispute between Chen Qun and Yunshan, he thought it was just a very simple conflict, and it was easy to have Zhao Yan as the mediator.

But Chen Qun actually wants to rebel...

"Hmph, I'm telling you the truth." Cao Ren sneered, "Juying had already found out that Chen Qun was about to turn against him before, but he kept the overall situation in mind. In order to give Chen Qun a chance, he personally went to Xiangyang to persuade him to return to Yunshan Mountain. .

Hey, I didn't expect Chen Qun to think that I didn't notice, and now he wants to rebel in Shangyong. "

"Where is Shangyong? I wonder if Zhong Sili is familiar with it?"

As we all know, although the Shangyong area has no development prospects, it is close to Wuguan, one of the four gates of Chang'an.

From Wuguan to Lantian, you can quickly get behind Chang'an.

This Liu Xiongming is from Lantian. Although the bandits under his command are not too many, they are very familiar with the terrain, and they have a good reputation in the local area by playing tricks.

Coupled with Liu Xiongming's confession that Ma Chao was going to rebel and Zhong Yao's background, even Zhong Yao himself couldn't help sweating profusely, and didn't know how to explain it for a while.

"Zhong Sili is a noble character, and Cao Ren is a junior, so he shouldn't have said more.

But after Kong Rong's incident, Xun Lingjun had many quarrels with the prime minister, and now he encountered this incident again.

Hey, if it wasn't for the giant eagle's vigilance and willingness to risk its reputation at the expense of its reputation, I'm afraid there will be a catastrophe in Guanzhong this time. "

When Chang Diao was drunk day and night before, Zhong Yao still frankly said that Chang Diao was wrong. He never thought that his eyesight would be so retrograde when he was nearly [-] years old, and that this person had such scheming and means. .After this incident, I'm afraid that in the future... hey!Why did Changwen do such a stupid thing.

"What does General Zixiao want the old man to do?" Zhong Yao wisely skipped all the formalities and went straight to the point.

Cao Ren sneered:
"I trust Zhong Sili very much, so I am willing to share this matter with Zhong Sili.

Let's be smart and don't speak dark words. I want you to promise two things. "

"But it doesn't matter."

"For one thing, if the giant eagle gets sick in the future, I will blame it on the princes of Yingchuan."

Zhong Yao smiled bitterly and said:
"Mr. Chang has the ability to use his hands and eyes to reach the heavens. After this incident, who dares to say that he is wrong behind his back. I will definitely restrain my nephew. In the future, I will never dare to speak against Mr. Chang again."

Cao Ren nodded in satisfaction, and said:
"Before Xun Lingjun, Chen Changwen and others complained a lot about Kong Rong's affairs, Chen Qun had an old relationship with Liu Bei, and was bewitched by Liu Bei to rebel, causing the court to lose Nanjun.

The prime minister didn't want to argue with Xun Lingjun and Chen Changwen because of their contributions in the past, but this time he wanted to rebel and target Tanzhi.

Again and again, can it be repeated again and again?What did Zhong Sili think should be done? "

Zhong Yao was silent for a moment, then sighed:
"The matter of Changwen's rebellion is still inconclusive.

I will write to him right away, asking him not to make things difficult for Tan Zhi, and besides, the giant eagle has the ability to use hands and eyes to reach the heavens, so he will naturally understand the truth and dare not rebel. "

"Okay," Cao Ren nodded in satisfaction, "Zhong Sili, I trust you very much, now is the time to employ people, and we will flatten Zhang Lu and eliminate..."

"Report!"

Before the words were finished, harsh gongs suddenly sounded in the city of Chang'an, accompanied by the fearful calls and footsteps of Cao Ren's personal guards.

Cao Renhuo stood up, and Zhong Yao also looked ashen, and slowly got up and went out side by side with Cao Ren.

"What's the panic?"

"Ma Chao, it's Ma Chao calling!"

call……

Sure enough.

Cao Ren had long been guarding against Ma Chao's rebellion, and Zhong Yao was still confident that he could control the son of this old comrade-in-arms. Unexpectedly, Ma Chao, a dutiful son, would not even consider that his father was still in Cao Cao's hands, and would directly lead soldiers to rebel without saying a word. .

"Rebellion is rebellion. I don't believe he can take Chang'an."

Cao Ren squeezed his hands straight, and the expression on his face became more determined. He couldn't wait to compete with Ma Chao. Everyone said that Ma Chao was unstoppable, but I wanted to see what he was capable of.

He braced himself and adjusted the city defense. Hearing that Ma Chao was some distance away from Chang'an, he hurried back to sleep and prepared to fight hard tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, before he went to bed, he heard another panic report from outside.

"What's the matter? Did Ma Chao call in?"

"Well, that's not the case... But, Shen Yi and Chen Qun have plotted against Shangyong, and now, they have broken through Wuguan!"

"what?!"

·
Chen Qun had arranged for Shen Yi to say a few words and waited for the expedition, planning to cut off Guan Ping's return and let him understand how stupid it is to keep himself behind.

In the past few days, Shen Yi has been busy, and a large number of military equipment, food, grass and soldiers have begun to be dispatched quickly. The private army of 5000 people under Shen Yi's command has been mobilized and ready to go out at any time.

Chen Qun inspected Shen Yi's soldiers and horses, and frowned secretly—these men were all strong and strong, but they were not elite soldiers at all. The basic quality that should have.

Well, these people are just going to frighten Guan Ping with a strong momentum, and if they really fight, they have to rely on Shen Dan.

"Chen Canjun, we are all ready to go, and now we are waiting for your order." Shen Yi leaned beside Chen Qun, smiling flatteringly.

Chen Qun nodded:
"Where is Brother Ling?"

"Hey, my brother is in Shangyong City, unprepared."

"Huh? Isn't it going to go on an expedition? Why are you unprepared? What have you been doing for so many days?"

Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and said with a smile:
"Mr. Chen didn't know that my brother didn't want to offend Yunshan at all, and he just agreed with his lips before, but he didn't plan to send troops at all.

I am different, I am loyal to the imperial court, and I have always admired the high righteousness of the Yingchuan scholars.

My brother does not want to go to war, but I am willing to go to war for the imperial court! "

Chen Qun: ...

OK, I thank you.

Looking at the appearance of these soldiers under Shen Yi, Chen Qun shook his head:

"I agree with you. You are not Guan Ping's opponent at all. Let's discuss this matter again."

Shen Yi's complexion changed, she was extremely dissatisfied and said:

"why?"

"If you can't beat Guan Ping, don't send yourself to death." Chen Qun's face was gloomy, and his spirits faded, "Guan Ping has been in battle for a long time. He hibernated in Xiangyang for a long time before, and took out his entire family in order to attack Hanzhong. These sergeants are elite soldiers from all over the world, they are definitely not something that your soldiers can fight against.

If your brother is willing to help, that's fine, but if you don't want to help, you will die if you go. "

"Bullshit!"

Shen Yi had always been quite respectful to Chen Qun before, but this time, with a look of resentment on his face, he said sharply:
"Without Shen Dan, could it be that I can't do anything?

Let me tell you, I also grew up here, and the barbarians and nobles here will not give me some face. If I was the one who presented to the court, now I am also a member of the village, you have to bow down to me! "

Chen Qun looked at this person in a daze. He was born in a famous family and he really didn't understand the way of thinking of this kind of rural nouveau riche.

Seeing the resentment on Shen Yi's face, Chen Qun couldn't help but sneer.

"Then what are you going to do? Go fight Guan Ping? Please go ahead, I don't want to stop you.

To be honest, I put all my hopes this time on Shen Dan, without Shen Dan?You can't do anything anyway. "

Shen Yi laughed loudly:

"Chen Changwen, do you think I'm stupid? Shen Dan didn't let me raise troops under your banner before, and I don't know what he is afraid of.

I didn't want to raise my troops to do things alone from the beginning, I just took advantage of your reputation to seize Shen Dan's military power first, and then I had a fierce fight with Yunshan, and I might not lose to him. "
