Three Kingdoms King of the North

"If we send our people, it will definitely not work." Han Zhan said to the two with a smile: "But we can contact the ministers in the court through Yuan Zhi and Guang Yuan, and let them use this countermeasure."

"If too many people know about this matter, it will definitely leak." Even Guo Jia is not optimistic about Han Zhan's statement. It may be bad for us to use countermeasures against them."

"Yes," Xun You nodded, agreeing with Guo Jia's statement: "At that time, in the name of the imperial court, they will contact various princes to attack us. I'm afraid our situation will be very dangerous."

On the way back to his study, Han Zhan had carefully recalled the details of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty sent people to provoke Li Jue and Guo Si to confront each other.Seeing that the two counselors under him were trying their best to oppose his proposal, he went on to say: "Ben Hou thought again and again, and felt that there are still reliable officials in the court, such as Taiwei Yang Biao and Da Sinong Zhu Jun. He is the best candidate for counterintuitive tricks."

After Han Zhan finished speaking, the study fell into silence.After a while, Guo Jia said, "My lord, if Yang Biao and Zhu Jun carry out this plan, we have at least a [-]% chance of winning."

"Since my lord believes that Yang Biao and Zhu Jun can take on this important task, then you might as well tell Yuanzhi and Guangyuan through letters." Xun You used to be an official in the court and knew the relationship between Yang Biao and Zhu Jun How is the person, so Han Zhan proposed the candidate: "Let the two of them contact Yang Biao and Zhu Jun in private, and ask the two adults to come out and implement this countermeasure."

"My lord's countermeasures are really wonderful." Just when Han Zhan thought that the three of them could reach an agreement, Guo Jia suddenly said: "Now that Ma Teng and Han Sui are approaching the city, the two thieves Li and Guo are in the same boat. At this time, if you use a plan at this time, the effect will be greatly reduced."

Xun You looked at Guo Jia and asked, "According to the view of filial piety, when is the best time for us to use this countermeasure?"

"At least wait for Ma Teng and Han Sui to retreat, and then we will send people to Chang'an to contact Yang Biao and Zhu Jun." Guo Jia said with confidence: "At that time, they will implement this strategy, and they will definitely succeed. See miracles."

"Feng Xiao, wait a minute, I just forgot to consider the other two people." Xun You first glanced at Guo Jia, then at Han Zhan, and said, "If the two thieves, Li and Guo, turned against each other, and Zhang Ji and Fan Chou The two came out to mediate, how should we deal with it?"

"Brother Gongda is worrying too much." Facing Xun You's worries, Han Zhan said with a smile, "Even though the four generals are under Dong Thief's subordinates, the four of them are not on the same page. For example, Li Jue and Guo Si He has a good personal relationship with Zhang Ji, but he hates Fan Chou deeply. According to Ben Hou's estimate, once Ma Teng and Han Sui retreat, Li Jue may find an opportunity to kill Fan Chou. If Fan Chou dies, Zhang Ji In order to avoid the goods, we must go to other places. In this way, only Li Jue and Guo Si are left in Chang'an, and we can get twice the result with half the effort if we use countermeasures at that time."

Xun You was dubious about Han Zhan's statement: "Why is my lord so sure that after Ma Teng and Han Sui retreated, Li Jue would find a reason to kill Fan Chou?"

Naturally, Han Zhan would not tell Xun You that Li Jue killed Fan Chou because when Ma Teng and Han Sui retreated, Fan Chou's soldiers and horses had already caught up with Han Sui, and Han Sui could be captured alive with a single command.However, Han Sui and Fan Choupan had a friendship, and the latter let Han Sui go on impulse.

However, Li Jue has never liked the reckless Fan Cong. When he learned about Fan Cong's release of Han Sui from his nephew Li Bie, he took the opportunity to ambush Fan Cong at the banquet and chopped Fan Cong into meat sauce. , and justifiably annexed the opponent's soldiers and horses.Zhang Ji was so frightened that he had to stay away from the capital in order to protect himself.

After Han Zhan greeted the two to sit down, he said to them, "I have a plan. I can lead the two thieves Li Jue and Guo Si to kill each other, and then I will lead the troops to the capital to wipe out the bandits and secure the country."

Regarding Han Zhan's general statement, Guo Jia asked with some disapproval: "I don't know what the master plans to do?"

Han Zhan smiled lightly, and then said: "This Marquis knows that Guo Si's wife is the most jealous, but you can ask people to go to Guo Si's wife and use countermeasures to make the two thieves kill each other."

"My lord, although Guo Bang's wife is jealous, we don't have anyone close to her at all." Xun You said with some embarrassment, "If we can't get close to her, how can we use countermeasures?"

"If we send our people, it will definitely not work." Han Zhan said to the two with a smile: "But we can contact the ministers in the court through Yuan Zhi and Guang Yuan, and let them use this countermeasure."

"If too many people know about this matter, it will definitely leak." Even Guo Jia is not optimistic about Han Zhan's statement. It may be bad for us to use countermeasures against them."

Chapter 259

Just when Han Zhan and others discussed sending people to the capital to make countermeasures against Li Jue, Guo Si and others, Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops had already surrounded Chang'an City.Facing the tens of thousands of Xiliang troops outside the city, Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou gathered in the court hall to discuss countermeasures.

Zhang Ji was cautious. He first spoke to Li Jue and said: "General, the morale of Ma Teng and Han Sui's soldiers and horses is high. We need to hold on to the city to avoid their attack. When their food and grass are exhausted, we are leading our troops to chase them. They will surely be captured."

Before Li Jue could speak, Li Meng and Wang Fang came out of the queue and said loudly: "General, the last general is willing to lead ten thousand elite soldiers to go out of the city to fight Ma Teng and Han Sui in blood. The head of a person is dedicated to the general hall."

"Mr. He." Li Jue knew that Jia Xu contributed a great deal to the reason why he was able to enter Chang'an, so he humbly asked him for advice at this moment: "I don't know whether we should fight or defend?"

When Jia Xu heard Li Jue asking him for advice, he quickly replied, "If you fight today, you will definitely suffer defeat."

Li Meng and Wang Fang became impatient when they heard what Jia Xu said, they yelled: "If we lose, I would rather beheaded; if I win, you will lose the head and me."

Seeing that the two were eager to fight, and that Li Jue and Guo Si seemed to agree to go out to meet the enemy, Jia Xu could only sigh, and retreated to the queue without making any further remarks.

Seeing that no one objected to sending troops, Li Jue took out a command arrow from the command box on the table and said loudly: "Li Meng, Wang Fang obeys orders!"

"Your subordinate is here!" The two of them agreed loudly when they heard Li Jue calling out to them.

"I will give you [-] soldiers and horses to go out of the city to meet Ma Teng and Han Sui."

Li Meng took a step forward and took the command arrow from Li Jue's hand, and then both of them replied in unison: "I obey!"

The two left the palace, and after only two sticks of incense, a soldier rushed in with a panicked expression.Reported to Li Jue: "General Qi, Li Meng and Wang Fang went out to fight Ma Teng and Han Sui. As a result, a young general was very brave. First he shot General Wang Fang, and then captured General Li Meng alive. , right now they are fighting in the city.”

What the soldier said made Li Jue break out in a cold sweat.He looked around the crowd and asked, "I don't know which general is willing to lead troops to meet the enemy."

The generals present all knew that Li Meng and Wang Fang were skilled in martial arts, they went out to meet the enemy, only met each other a few times, either they were captured or killed, if they went out by themselves, they would just follow in their footsteps.So everyone kept silent, as if they didn't hear Li Jue's question at all.

Of course, there are those who can't hold back, for example, Li Bie, Li Jue's nephew, is one.Seeing that no one was talking in the hall, he hurried out of the queue and saluted Li Jue, "Uncle, my nephew is not talented, and I would like to lead the army to meet the enemy."

"No." As soon as he said it, Li Jue rejected it.Li Jue still remembers that when he led the troops to attack Chang'an, the defeat that Li Bie fought, not to mention the casualties, almost cost his own life.Therefore, he decisively rejected Li Bie's proposal, and continued to ask: "Which general is willing to lead troops to meet the enemy?"

After asking several times in a row, the class didn't say anything.Seeing that everyone was unwilling to fight, Li Jue realized how stupid it was for him to reject Jia Xu's advice just now.He looked sideways at Jia Xu, and said with some embarrassment: "He, it seems that you are right. The morale of Ma Teng and Han Sui's soldiers and horses is high, and we can't hold on to avoid their edge."

Afterwards, Li Jue stood up and said to all the warriors in the hall: "The general's orders are passed on, and the four gates are closed. If there is no order from this general, whoever dares to fight without authorization will be punished!"

The generals standing under the hall couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief when they heard that there was no need to go out of the city to fight again, and quickly said in unison: "I will obey the general's order."

When the waiter Ma Yu heard the news of Li Jue's defeat, he couldn't help clapping his hands and applauding. He hurriedly called his butler and said, "Hurry up and invite Zuo Zhonglang, Liu Fan, and the admonishing doctor, Zhong Shao, to the mansion. There is something important to discuss with them!"

Hearing his lord's order, the butler didn't dare to neglect, left his mansion hastily, and went to invite Liu Fan and Zhong Shao to come and visit him.

Not long after, Liu Fan and Zhong Shao came to Ma Yu's mansion.After seeing the ceremony, Liu Fan asked: "I don't know if Ma Shizhong sent someone to invite us to come, what's the important thing to discuss?"

"Today, Li Meng and Wang Fang under Li Jue led troops to fight." Ma Yu said with some pride: "As a result, Wang Fang was killed by Ma Teng's young general, and Li Meng was also captured alive. The soldiers came to report that Ma Teng had beheaded the captured Li Meng and hung his head on the gate."

"When Li Meng and Wang Fang die, it's like breaking an arm of Li Guo and other thieves." Zhong Shao couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this, and he quickly said: "Ma Shizhong, I don't know what we should do?"

Ma Yu looked at the two, sighed and said, "But we are all ministers, and we don't have any troops to mobilize. Otherwise, we just need to take advantage of the darkness to kill the defenders of the city gate and open the gate to welcome Xiliang's army into the city. Eliminate Li Guo and other thieves."

Knowing that Ma Yu wanted to be an internal response, Zhong Shao said cautiously: "Ma Shizhong, this matter is no small matter, you have to think carefully about it. Once the matter is leaked, it will bring you and me to death."

"That's right, this matter needs to be discussed in the long term." Liu Fan, who was a little excited after hearing Ma Yu's plan, became cautious: "I think we should secretly send someone to contact Ma Teng and Han Sui, Discuss with them the time and method of breaking the city. Ma Shizhong, what do you think?"

"This is a good idea." Regarding Liu Fan's proposal, Ma Yu immediately nodded in agreement: "Let's write a letter to Ma Teng and Han Sui first, and make an appointment with them. At the same time, we will find a way to buy Cheng Gatekeeper, when the time is right, immediately open the city gate and welcome the Xiliang army into the city."
