The fake eunuch who lurked in the palace

"I'm sorry to send you a message, Zhou Pan of the Zhou family wants to see General Dou."

At Hangu Pass, Zhou Pan clasped his fists at the guards guarding the pass.

Everyone who was in the army knew a thing or two about the Zhou family, so the guards left immediately.

Soon, a burly man wearing armor came over.

He looked at Zhou Pan, scanning up and down.

"Boy Pan, you were summoned to Jian'an by the emperor, why are you so disheartened, you look even worse than a beggar."

"Could it be that your father rebelled?!"

"This is too bad, so we can't rebel before you go to Jian'an!"

"Look at how miserable it is."

The man clicked his tongue.

Zhou Pan was speechless, "Uncle Dou..."

"Okay, I know you are here to take refuge. Just stay peacefully. I will send it to your father later."

The man's voice was rough and he waved his hands indifferently.

Li Yi raised his eyebrows. This really surprised him. Before coming to Hanguguan, Li Yi thought about Dou Wu's reaction. He might be concerned, or he might be afraid of being implicated by them.

But who knew that this girl was completely gloating about her misfortune.

Judging from his expression, he seemed to be eager for the Zhou family to rebel.

"Uncle Dou, something big happened."

"The old guy died suddenly?"

Dou Wu raised his eyebrows.

Zhou Pan stroked his forehead and took a breath, "Didn't you receive any news about the massacre in Sui'an County?"

"Why should I pay attention to a dirty place like Jian'an to make myself miserable?"

"How many were slaughtered this time?" Dou Wu asked casually.

"A whole city."

Dou Wu's pupils shrank suddenly, "Yicheng?"

"Mr. Chu is already so crazy?"

"It's not the Chu family." Zhou Pan pursed his lips and told Dou Wu in detail.

After Dou Wu was stunned for a short time, he looked at Feng Qi with a look of disgust on his face, "Why are you such a weakling?"

"Can you lift the knife?"

"Uncle Dou, that one."

Zhou Pan knew at a glance that Dou Wu had recognized the wrong person, and pointed his finger at Li Yi.

Dou Wu frowned, covered Li Yi's face with his big hand and rubbed it, his eyeballs almost touching it.

"That guy Su Ji has a very good skin, otherwise he wouldn't be able to steal my beloved girl. Why are you not like your mother at all?"

Pointing at the scar on Li Yi's forehead, Dou Wu shook his head, "It's so ferocious that I'm afraid it won't be easy to get a wife."

"I was so scared that you ran away."

"..."

Li Yi's face turned dark, he grabbed Dou Wu's hand and threw it over his shoulder.

Dou Wu quickly stabilized his position and said, "Hey, you have quite a temper!"

After a fight, Dou Wu snorted, "It looks pretty good."

"There are only three thousand soldiers at Hangu Pass. Although they are all strong and strong, the number is a bit small."

"Has your father replied to the letter?"

Dou Wu looked at Zhou Pan.

Zhou Pan looked at Li Yi.

Li Yi followed and looked to the left.

"Don't look at me, I'm not hiding."

Seeing several people staring at him, Li Yi shrugged, "It's probably because you are unreliable, and General Zhou doesn't believe what you say."

"Are you sure it was delivered?"

Zhou Pan leaned towards Li Yi.

"What do you mean?"

"If my father receives the letter, there is no way he will do nothing."

"I'm definitely not the problem."

Li Yi was categorical.

"What now?"

"Without the support of a large army, they rebelled rashly. With just a few thousand soldiers, it was not enough for them to kill them."

Zhou Pan's face turned gloomy.

The original plan was for them to raise troops at Hangu Pass to temporarily intimidate Jian'an and delay the attack.

But the premise is that the army will come to support.

Otherwise, they might kill them all before a climate is formed.

"What a coward!"

Dou Wu shouted, "Nothing is safe."

"When you are marching and fighting, it is impossible to follow the plan."

"Could it be that something unexpected happened and this battle can be stopped?"

"If you can do it, you can still take the heads of the enemy generals no matter how many troops are on the other side. If you can't do it, even if I give you a million lions, you won't be able to capture a city."

"If you delay for a moment longer, there will be an extra layer of bones underneath."

"Take down the flag!"

Dou Wu yelled at the guard.

At that time, he was also a fierce general with great military achievements. However, after seeing the fate of the Su family and other generals, Dou Wu became disheartened and asked himself to garrison Hangu Pass and did not return for ten years.

He doesn't have many soldiers, but they are all elite and can be trusted 100%.

Dou Wu's temperament is to do whatever he says.

If you want to rebel, don’t take it from your mother-in-law and mother-in-law.

"Although I don't like Su Ji, I am convinced of his ability to fight on the battlefield."

"You kid, don't be a tiger father or a dog son."

Dou Wu patted Li Yi heavily on the shoulder.

"Otherwise, I will chop off your head before the Chu family comes to kill you, so that you will not lose your mother's prestige."

"..."

"I thank you on behalf of Mrs. Su."

Li Yi rolled his eyelids and said, "How much military pay is left at Hangu Pass?"

"How do you expect to find oil and water in a place like this?"

"When I came here, there were dozens of bicycle frames. Now, all I have to do is sell the doors and windows."

"If you all put it together, you should be able to come up with a hundred taels."

"It's really a lot." Li Yi rubbed his forehead. It's no wonder that he loves money more and more. It's really in short supply!

What he brought with him was not enough to feed the guards for half a month.

Not to mention recruiting troops.

"Things seem bad."

Feng Qi frowned, "How much can you take out?" He looked at Li Yi.

"Five thousand taels at most."

Li Yining said, all his money is with Yun Niang. Water from afar cannot quench his thirst nearby. When it comes from the other side, I don’t know what the situation will become.

"From today on, you have the final say over Hangu Pass."

Dou Wu watched Li Yi speak, then patted his butt and went to eat.

Marching and fighting relied on more than just force. Dou Wu wanted to see if Li Yi could really afford an army.

In the current situation, it is certain to raise troops, but if Li Yizhi is too talented and brave, then he can only serve as a flag rather than a leader.

"I now suspect that there are people from the Right Prime Minister mixed in General Zhou's army."

Li Yi looked at Zhou Pan and said in a deep voice.

"As you said, it's impossible for General Zhou to have no reaction when he saw the letter. Then it can only be that the letter was robbed before it was delivered to him."

"Who did you ask to send it?"

Zhou Pan raised his eyes with a serious expression.

"A merchant's brother-in-law, he was a member of the forward linebackers."

"I have to go back."

Zhou Pan pursed his lips.

"Are you planning to die?"

Li Yi shook the dust off his body and said, "The ambush set up on the only way to the border is enough to kill you ten times."

"Let's eat first."

"I will try to contact him."

"General Zhou must have heard about the massacre in Sui'an County. Next, as long as the movement in Hangu Pass is big enough, he will take the initiative to come here even if he doesn't believe it."

After Li Yi finished speaking, he took the lead. Only when he was full would he have the strength to kill people.

Zhou Pan calmed down and followed Li Yi.

The few people who were devouring their food were all thinking about recruiting soldiers and completely forgot about Zhou Gui, who was waiting with his neck stretched out in the wilderness.

It was Dou Wu who mentioned it that made Zhou Pan think of Zhou Gui.
