Great Military Division

Chapter 326 The Dian Mother Generously Goes to Righteousness: Traitor!Traitor!Thief!Take your life!

hiss-!
Liu Bian was startled, staring like a bell, and said in disbelief: "Guangling Governor Zhang Chao?"

Although Zhang Miao died at the hands of Huang Zhong, he and Zhang Chao had a mortal enmity, and Zhang Chao had absolutely sufficient reasons for killing him, but even so, Liu Bian was deeply shocked.

Guo Jia analyzed extremely calmly: "Your Majesty, I have focused my attention on Yuan Kai and Dong Zhuo before, ignoring Zhang Miao's younger brother Zhang Chao, who also has the motive to assassinate His Majesty."

"After Zhang Miao died in battle, Liu Dai, governor of Yanzhou, took the opportunity to attack Chenliu. Zhang Chao, Zang Hong and others have since disappeared without a trace. It is very likely that they fled to Chang'an and joined Dong Zhuo."

Have to admit.

There is indeed such a possibility.

Liu Bian frowned: "Go ahead!"

"His Majesty."

Guo Jiayi bowed, and blurted out the previous analysis and judgment: "According to the long-term contact, I found that since Ye Xiao entered Nanyang, the assassination in the direction of Chang'an has completely entered silence, dormant and waiting."

"If Ye Xiao was sent by Dong Zhuo and wanted to take root in Nanyang for a long time, he would definitely not act like this. After all, this is an excellent time for them to explore the secrets of Nanyang."

On this point, Liu Bian very much agrees.

After all, the heavy snow is freezing, and the work is basically at a standstill.

Even the smelting and casting workshops are in a semi-shutdown state, because there is not much demand for labor.

At this time, due to the relatively scattered personnel and the increased difficulty of supervision, it is very conducive to the assassination of Chang'an, so as to obtain information on some key equipment.

But at this time, the other party has entered the dormant standby state, which is obviously unreasonable, especially for the newly appointed leader of assassination, how can he give up the excellent opportunity to make contributions.

even if
Killing oneself is the greatest contribution.

However, the possibility of stopping the Nanyang assassination operation is still very small.

Dong Zhuo would not agree to this matter, and Li Ru would not agree.

Ye Xiao's purpose, from the very beginning, was only one, and that was the Winter Festival Festival.

From this point of view, the relationship between Ye Xiao and Dong Zhuo is indeed not that great.

"also!"

Seeing that His Majesty did not object, Guo Jia continued to analyze: "A large part of the caravan that brought assassins into Nanyang this time is merchants from the Ruying area, and only a small part comes from Nanyang."

"Although the sources of the merchants are quite complicated, it just proves the strength of the other side. According to the feedback from the minister and Zijing, the black hand behind the scenes is most likely the Yuan family."

Yuan family?

The Yuan family resurfaced again!

Liu Bian's nerves tensed all of a sudden: "Among these merchants, are there merchants from the Yuan family?"

Guo Jia shook his head: "I haven't found it yet."

"kindness."

Liu Bian nodded: "That's it. Such behavior is in line with Yuan Kai's style of work. No matter what is risky, he will always pick himself clean."

If there were merchants from the Yuan family, it would make Liu Bian wonder if Guo Jia's analysis was wrong. Now that there are no merchants from the Yuan family, it just makes the Yuan family more suspicious.

"But."

Liu Bian frowned, and asked back, "Even so, how do you conclude that Ye Xiao is Zhang Chao?"

Guo Jia hurriedly handed over the information sent by the pawns: "Just this morning, the school affairs office was responsible for monitoring the affairs of Dian Wei's family, and sent information through the pawns. Dian Wei's mother, wife and children were taken to the Chiyun Taoist Temple by strangers. .”

"Dian Wei?"

"Red Cloud Taoist Temple?"

Liu Bian was stunned for a moment.

How could he not know that Dian Wei was Zhang Miao's subordinate, and Zhang Miao treated Dian Wei very well, and he gave him a house, money, and servants, so he successfully brought Dian Wei under his command.

And he is still in the test period of submitting to the imperial court. He is currently serving in Tang Mao's executive Jinwu.

If at this time, Ye Xiao had kidnapped Dian Wei's mother, wife and children, and forced him to attack His Majesty the Emperor, and Dian Wei, who had not returned his heart, might really turn against him and help Ye Xiao back.

Liu Bian anxiously asked, "What's the current situation of Dian Wei?"

Guo Jiayi bowed: "I am under surveillance, and I don't know about his mother, wife and children, but if you think about it, you will know soon, isn't your majesty wanting to include him in the Huben Army?"

"If Dian Wei can pass this test, then I will not object, but if he can't pass the test, I hope that your Majesty will put aside his love for talents and stop when he decides."

Although Liu Bian was a little bit reluctant, he still nodded affirmatively: "Yes! This is indeed a good opportunity, and I will leave this matter to Feng Xiao."

For those in high positions, loyalty comes first, and ability always comes second. No matter how strong the ability is, if it is not loyal enough, it cannot be used even if it is killed.

Guo Jia cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, don't worry, before the winter festival, this villain will be uprooted."

Liu Bian nodded: "Yes."

Just as Guo Jia bowed and was about to leave.

The voice of the military division alliance sounded impressively: "Master Bian, tell Guo Jia to capture Ye Xiao alive. If he is really Zhang Chao, the governor of Guangling County, he may be able to unlock the secret of the crusade against Dong Zhuo."

"Wait a minute!"

Liu Bian hastily waved his hand to stop Guo Jia.

"Does Your Majesty have any orders?"

Guo Jia stopped, turned and came back.

"Catch Night Owl alive!"

Liu Bian didn't talk nonsense, and gave the order clang.

"Here."

Guo Jia nodded.

Actually.

He wanted to capture this person alive more than His Majesty the Emperor.

After all, Ye Xiao had most of Dong Zhuo's assassination information in Nanyang. As long as Ye Xiao was caught, he would be able to pull out the gang of assassins and completely stabilize the interior.

When Guo Jia and the others left Nuan Pavilion, Liu Bian had a thought and asked, "Teacher, haven't the experts already interpreted everything about the crusade against Dong Zhuo?"

"It has been read."

The voice of the military division alliance followed: "However, most of the process is just the reasoning and analysis of experts based on historical data, not direct historical evidence."

"In academia, this kind of situation is called a conspiracy theory. Even if the analysis is reasonable, it is still a castle in the air, and there is no actual evidence to support it."

Liu Bian suddenly realized: "So the experts want to capture Zhang Chao alive, and then find out whether they are really related to the Yuan family when they go north to challenge Dong, right?"

"That's just one of them."

"Oh?"

Liu Bian frowned: "What is the second?"

The Alliance of Military Advisors followed: "Secondly, since the Yuan family is involved in this matter, if we can find concrete evidence instead of reasoning, Lord Bian can attack the Yuan family in Runan for the crime of treason."

"Just like the Kong family at the beginning of the year, as long as there are sufficient reasons and solid evidence, it will not cause too much reaction and will not break the rules of the family's game circle."

"This will be of great benefit to Xixian, Sima Lang and others to start their work in Yuzhou. After all, the cultivated land of the Yuan family in Runan is by no means comparable to that of the Kong family."

"If the imperial court can take back the Yuan family's cultivated land and other resources, it will be able to wrestle with the rest of the family in Runan. At least it can save more than a year of transitional period for accumulating cultivated land resources."

When Liu Bian returned to Nanyang, it was precisely because he had the resources of the Kong family that Liu Bian was able to quickly complete the bottom line of the Nanyang wealthy family, thus laying the groundwork for the private transfer of farming land to public ownership, and successfully took this difficult first step .

And the starting point of all this is because Liu Bian has a certain amount of resources in his hands. If he does not have sufficient resources at hand, it will be difficult to have a drastic effect on the Nanyang wealthy family.

The same thing!
To successfully replicate Nanyang's road, the key lies in how to let Xi Zhicai and other county guards have a certain amount of farming resources in their hands. On the contrary, they can only follow the road of Yingchuan County Governor Li Min.

But Runan is definitely not Yingchuan. Although Yingchuan has a lot of aristocratic families, their resources are similar and within a healthy and controllable range, but Runan, like Nanyang, has giants.

Runan Yuan, Chen ≥ Nanyang Deng, Yin

Their existence will threaten the imperial court's control in Runan, so Liu Bian must weaken the Yuan family and Chen family just like weakening the Deng family and Yin family.

If Liu Bian can use Zhang Chao to find out the mastermind behind the Yuan family, he will be able to exterminate the family for the crime of treason and nationalize its resources, which will not only deter the aristocratic families in Yuzhou, but even step over the transitional period of accumulating farmland resources.

"Defense Lord."

The military division alliance said softly: "This time Yuan Kai took the initiative to hand over the knife, we must not give up, we must investigate to the end, and use real evidence to prove the crime of the Yuan family's treason."

The fighting spirit in Liu Bian's heart burned fiercely: "Teacher, don't worry, since this opportunity is under our noses, we must not give up easily. With Guo Jia and Man Chong around, we will definitely be able to prove the crimes against the Yuan family."

Military division alliance: "Okay, then let's wait for the result."

Liu Bian nodded, "Yes."

*****
"Brother Dian, are you ready to go home?"

"Well, go home."

"The year-end reward has been distributed today, aren't you planning to go to the Hongbin Building for a reunion? All my brothers are going to have a drink."

"Is that so?"

Dian Wei thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, let me go home first, and then come to Hongbin Building, we won't go home until we're drunk."

The fellow soldiers cupped their hands one after another: "Since that's the case, at the end of Youshi and the beginning of Xushi, let's meet in Hongbinlou."

Dian Wei was overjoyed: "Good!"

After bidding farewell to everyone, Dian Wei went straight to the butcher shop and bought some meat. After the winter festival ceremony was over, he could go home and have a good meal. Then he went to the cloth shop and cut five feet of flower cloth. Wife and children add new clothes.

but
Dian Wei had just left the city, and before he had gone far, a Taoist priest in Taoist robes came up to him, "May I ask if your step is Dian Wei, is it General Dian?"

"You are."

Dian Wei frowned, looking him up and down.

He was sure and sure that he and the other party had never met each other.

Although the other party is wearing a Taoist robe, his hands have calluses, which is obviously a hand that has been holding a sword all year round, and the Taoist robe on his body seems to be a bit ill-fitting, and his shoulders are slightly wider, which looks a bit slumped.

From Dian Wei's puzzled eyes, the Taoist felt that the other party didn't trust him, so he hurriedly saluted and explained:
"It's like this. Your Madam prayed for the general's practice at the Chiyun Taoist Temple. It may end later. Therefore, the master sent the poor Taoist to invite you to the Taoist temple. After the ceremony is over, bring your wife home together."

Dojo praying?

No one in their family believes this!
Dian Wei was even more suspicious, staring at the Taoist priest with a frown, and at the same time turned the flesh of his right hand to his left, leaving one hand free, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

The Taoist hurriedly took out a hairpin from his sleeve: "Look at my memory, Mrs. Madam was afraid that the general would not believe it, so she specially gave this hairpin to the poor Taoist, saying that the general would believe it when she saw the hairpin."

It's really my wife's hairpin!

Dian Wei was taken aback.

However, he didn't believe it, but was even more worried.

The life of fleeing has been much better, and other skills have not improved much, but the sensitivity to danger is far beyond ordinary people.

If it was his wife's true wish, he could definitely let his son come over, so why bother with a hypocrite?

There must be something strange in this!
If it wasn't for the fact that his mother, wife and children were in the hands of the other party, Dian Wei really wished he could kill him right now.

"Okay, let's go."

Dian Wei temporarily agreed, and followed the Taoist priest to Chiyun Taoist Temple.

Soon.

Then came to Chiyun Taoist Temple.

Walking through the corridor and courtyard, we finally came to a side hall.

Squeak-!
The Taoist priest pushed the door open and said, "Please come in."

Dian Wei stepped into the hall, looked around and saw no one there: "Where's my wife and children?"

"General Dian!"

As soon as the words fell, a familiar voice sounded.

Dian Wei turned his head to look.

However, I saw a man in black clothes turning out from behind the screen: "General Dian, don't come here without any problems!"

Dian Wei was surprised, with an expression of disbelief: "Zhang Menggao? Why are you here?"

Zhang Chao sighed, "Of course I'm here for revenge."

"revenge?"

Dian Wei seemed to realize something: "Could it be."

Zhang Chao nodded: "That's right! I'm going to kill the Demon Emperor at the Winter Festival Ceremony. I don't know General Dian, would you like to help me?"

"Where are my wife, children and mother?"

"If you agree, you can see it naturally."

"What if I refuse?"

"reject?"

Zhang Chao frowned, and said in disbelief: "General Dian, my elder brother treats you well, you wouldn't forget him so quickly, right? If it wasn't for my elder brother, you would have been able to be the commander of the personal guard army? "

Dian Wei did not deny it: "Mr. Zhang was really kind to me, so until the last moment, I, Dian Wei, tried my best to protect him. I, Dian Wei, have already repaid this kindness."

"but now"

Without the slightest hesitation, Dian Wei said sonorously: "I, Dian Wei, am loyal to His Majesty the Emperor Nanyang, and I am a military lord under the Jinwu Tang Mao tent, and I have nothing to do with you."

"A word of advice to you all, if we meet each other on the battlefield in the future, I, Dian Wei, will still not show mercy, because His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang is the chosen one and the orthodox of the Han Dynasty!"

Zhang Chao has long been prepared to deal with it: "Could it be, are you willing to sacrifice your wife, children, and children for the demon emperor? Don't forget, the Lingtang, the respected wife, and the son are all in my hands!"

Whoops!

At that moment, dozens of knives rushed out from both sides of the inner hall, and at least two rows of crossbows aimed at Dian Wei.

At the same time, the Taoist priest beside Dian Wei also drew his sword in his hand and pointed at him angrily: "General Dian, I know you are very powerful, but you are only one person, no matter how strong you are, what can you do to me?"

"A word of advice to you, it's best to be obedient and match well. Your wife and son can still live. If you dare to play tricks, I can guarantee that your wife and son will die in an ugly way!"

Dian Wei didn't panic at all, but said coldly: "I want to make sure they are still alive."

Zhang Chao winked at the Taoist beside him: "Bring it up!"

The Taoist promised, then turned and left.

Soon.

They brought Dianwei's wife, children, and mother to the side hall:

"Son—!"

"Husband!"

"father-!"

The three spoke almost in unison.

Dian Wei took a deep breath and suppressed his anger as much as possible: "Mom, are you alright?"

The old mother nodded with difficulty, with tears in her eyes: "Mother is fine, but my son, Your Majesty is a good emperor who can feed the common people, you can't do stupid things!"

"Old stuff!"

Zhang Chao was furious, with a clang, he drew his sword in his hand, and immediately snapped back angrily: "What are you talking about! If you dare to speak nonsense again, I will kill you!"

The old mother stared at the other party: "I am 57 this year, I have lived enough in this life, you will kill me if you have the guts, and see what you threaten my son with!"

"grandmother-!"

"mother!"

The two people around hurriedly tugged at each other, but they were protected by the old mother like a hen guarding its chicks: "You traitors! Traitors! Evil thieves! This old man will do justice for the heavens today!"

"ah-!"

The mother-in-law flicked vigorously, pushed her daughter-in-law and grandson to the back, and then slammed into Zhang Chao, but she was pierced through the heart and lungs by the long sword in his hand, and died on the spot!
"mother-!!!"

This roar.

It was like a thunderclap, more like a raging wave crashing on the shore.

The anger in Dian Wei's heart was completely ignited, he shook his body, and struck out with an iron fist, only hearing the sound of cracking bones, before the Taoist priest beside him could react, Dian Wei punched his face down, flying upside down like a cannonball go out.

And the moment the Taoist flew out, Dian Wei took his long sword and immediately threw it forward. The edge of the cold sword shone with a cold light, and with a thunderous momentum, it hit the thief closest to his wife in an instant:

"Man'er—!"

"Protect your mother!"

As soon as the words fell, Dian Wei flew forward, like a flash of light, and dodged all the arrows whizzing from both sides. When he got up, Dian Wei grabbed the enemy's neck with one hand and grabbed his knife-holding wrist with the other.

Click!

His neck was broken and he died at the scene.

Dian Wei poured all his strength into his arms, threw the enemy in his hand, knocked down a group of fierce soldiers, rushed forward with arrows, swung his backhand, killed another person, took his weapon away, and became a pair of swords.

At the same time, Dianman, Dianwei's son, followed the kung fu his father taught him, and punched the soldier next to him in the stomach. The pain made the opponent howl, and he kicked him to the ground.

"Mom, let's go!"

Although Dianman is not very old, Dianwei was afraid of accidents at home when he was not around, so he began to teach his son martial arts since he was a child, and it has been three years since then.

Although it didn't last long, but fortunately, he had good genetic inheritance. Dianman was born with supernatural power, and when he swung his small fists, his lethality was astonishing. Not only did he have a certain ability to protect himself, but he could even take care of his own mother.

now.

He grabbed his mother's arms with his small hands, walked behind the screen, and made a gesture to rush towards the inner courtyard. Zhang Chao grinned his teeth in anger and cursed sharply:

"Quick! Grab that little calf, or we'll all die here!"

Zhang Chao knew Dian Wei's combat power too well. If they couldn't kill with one blow, it would be impossible for them to stop this tiger with their strength.

Therefore, he did not lead people to besiege Dian Wei, but rushed straight to the inner courtyard at the first moment, he must catch this kid Dian Man, otherwise what awaited him would be a dead end!
"Damn!"

Zhang Chao chewed it up.

He couldn't believe it, in just over two months, his elder brother's old subordinates had completely turned to King Hongnong, even ignoring the lives of his wife and children.

You must know that Zhang Chao never thought of failing in Dianwei's link from the beginning to the end. Firstly, it was because of the kindness of his brother, and secondly, because of Dian's mother, wife and children as hostages.

But who would have thought!
It happened that something went wrong in this link. If Dian Wei could not be killed secretly tonight, then the actions of the winter festival sacrifice to heaven would inevitably have a fatal impact.

But it didn't matter that he walked, it immediately touched Dian Wei's inner restraint, he walked faster, the two knives in his hands were like life-seeking ropes, he killed one person with one step, and the broken limbs and arms flew around with the blood, the scene was extremely terrifying.

Dian Wei pumped up all his strength, and the momentum was extraordinary. He slashed Huashan Mountain with his head and face, and directly exploded the heads of the soldiers in front of him like watermelons. Red, yellow, and white brains splattered everywhere!
"Those who stand in my way die—!"

Accompanied by the sound waves, the surging murderous aura rushed outward in a substantial way. Nearly a hundred soldiers in the side hall were all captured by Dian Wei's terrifying aura, and they were so frightened that they dared not go forward easily.

And what about Dian Wei?

He walked like flying, and his swords spattered blood.

Leng went directly to the screen from the entrance of the hall, leaving corpses all over the floor.

"Zhang Chao is a thief, don't hurt my son!"

*****
now.

The front hall of Chiyun Taoist Temple.

The county magistrate Man Chong rushed in with a team, and shouted at the top of his voice: "According to reliable information, the Chiyun Taoist temple is secretly hiding important criminals, and anyone who dares to resist will be shot!"

All the county soldiers shouted in unison: "Here."

Immediately.

Wu Yangyang broke into the Taoist temple and launched a crazy attack.

Guo Jia who came in after him said softly: "Bo Ning, don't forget His Majesty's will, you must capture Ye Xiao alive and don't hurt his life, understand?"

Man Chong nodded: "Don't worry, I have already explained it before leaving! However, if Dian Wei takes refuge in Zhang Chao, I'm afraid we will be hard-pressed to resist."

"don’t worry."

How could Guo Jia not know Dian Wei's strong fighting power: "Chen Wang and Liu Chong are already on the way to lead troops, but they have a god kite and a crossbow in their hands, so there is no guarantee that there will be no problems."

"So good."

Man Chong then nodded reassuringly.

"Report—!"

At this moment, there was a leisurely report from the direction of the inner courtyard.

Man Chong looked up.

But seeing, his own soldiers rushed over in a hurry, bowed their bodies and cupped their hands and said: "Xianzun, there are fighting sounds coming from the direction of the inner courtyard from time to time, there may be people fighting inside."

"Oh?"

Man Chong was pleasantly surprised, with an expression of disbelief: "Could it be that Dian Wei didn't take refuge in Zhang Chao?"

Guo Jia nodded and nodded: "Very likely!"

"quick!"

Man Chong made a decisive decision and ordered clang: "Quick rescue, there must be no mistakes."

The soldier cupped his hands: "Here."

"Brothers, follow me to the rescue!"

"kill-!"
