Treacherous ministers have deep routines

dead...

"what!?"

Sima Bogui was the first to rush out, saying, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Zhao Dian looked very bad, looked at Sima Bogui, and said, "General Sima, it's true... General Sima, please, send me condolences."

It wasn't just Sima Bogui, everyone was surprised, Chen Ji's withdrawal was fake, Sima Bogui just delivered the good news yesterday, today Zhaodian brought the news of Chen Ji's surprise attack on Luzhou, and killed a carbine.

After Sima Bogui left Luzhou, Chen Ji immediately came back with a surprise attack. Wu Wentai and others sent troops to resist. Sima Yue stayed at the Luzhou government office because he was too weak to go to the battlefield.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ji's team came in a conflict and wanted to rush into the city to plunder, Sima Yue immediately ordered Sima Bogui's White Horse Yicong, rushed to stop him, unfortunately lost his body and died...

Zhao Dian told everyone what he had heard, and God also seemed to want to verify the authenticity of this matter, when he heard the sound of "tapping", it was the sound of horseshoes.

A white horse rushed directly into the mansion of General Hussars. The white horse was covered with a silver saddle and galloped all the way.

It was Sima Bogui who personally selected the martyrs, and formed the Baima Yicong, all under the command of Sima Bogui's confidantes.

The soldier knelt on the ground, with a look of grief on his face, and said, "Master... Major General..."

The soldier didn't need to say anything, Sima Bogui already knew about it, "Boom—" With a sound like a bolt from the blue, Sima Bogui was split in half.

His younger brother who was so precious and protected never dared to let him suffer the slightest grievance, but now, after Sima Bogui left, he was killed in battle in Luzhou, and his body was lost, and his body disappeared in the chaos .

Sima Bogui stood there with a blank face, unable to recover for a long time.

When Lin Rang heard the news, he was also very surprised. In order to treat Sima Yue, Lin Rang always took Sima Yue with him. Sima Yue was like his little fanboy, enthusiastic and simple. In this chaotic vat of dyeing, there is a rare kindness in his heart.

And now...

Sima Bogui stood where he was, suddenly clenched his hands into fists, his joints made a "crack!" sound, and roared hoarsely: "Chen Ji!!!!"

As he spoke, he was about to rush out, but Bai Ma Yicong hurriedly stopped Sima Bogui, saying, "My lord! My lord!"

The soldiers couldn't stop Sima Bogui at all, his strength was astonishing, he was about to throw off the soldiers with a flick, and wanted to rush out to fight Chen Ji desperately.

Wei Man and Zhao Dian held down Sima Bogui on one left and one on the right.

Wei Man sternly said: "Bogui! Listen to Gu, even if you go to Chen Ji now, he has already made arrangements, and he will never let you take advantage of it!"

Sima Bogui's eyes were red, his whole body seemed to be burning, he was panting heavily, his reason had been wiped out, his whole body was like a ghost, only resentment and anger remained, and he muttered: "Chen Ji... ...Chen Ji...I want him to pay for his life!"

Lin Rang walked up to Sima Bogui, his face still very calm, as if he had not heard the news of Sima Yue's death, but with a slightly hoarse voice, he said: "General Sima, you think you can go out alone, or rely on your white horse army to be able to go out?" Can you defeat Chen Ji? The Major General didn't die in vain!"

Sima Bogui was shocked when he heard Lin Rang's words, his eyes changed from angry to dull.

His movements calmed down little by little, Wei Man and Zhao Dian exchanged glances, and then let go of Sima Bogui.

Sima Bogui was not impulsive anymore, his throat rolled several times, and his eyes immediately turned red, not because of anger, but because of sadness.

His eyes were full of sadness, as if he was remembering...

Sima Bogui was born in a famous family, but because of his humble mother, Sima Bogui was born as an inferior member of the family.

When he was young, he used to be very resentful and resentful towards Sima Yue. That high-ranking son, like a little snowball, eats the best and uses the best, but he is a coward, panting for breath every time he runs. What kind of son-in-law?

Sima Bogui always likes to bully Sima Yue. It seems that he seeks psychological comfort from bullying Sima Yue, but Sima Yue never fights back. After Sima Bogui was punished, he secretly brought delicious food to Sima Bogui. Kyu, don't make him hungry.

Since Sima Yue was very young, he chased after Sima Bogui like a little bean bag, and kept shouting: "Brother! Brother! Brother..."

After shouting for so many years, after Sima Bogui became famous, he took him to his side and took care of his "heart disease" carefully, hoping that one day Sima would get better.

never expected...

Sima Bogui slowly bent down, stretched out his hands to support his knees, and lowered his head slightly. Everyone couldn't see his face, and they didn't know what his expression was at this moment, but no one explored it, because Sima Bogui looked too sad at this moment.

Lin Rang narrowed his eyes and said, "Who is it that attacked the city of Luzhou?"

That Baima Yicong immediately said: "It's a general under Chen Ji, and he has been detained now."

When Sima Bogui heard this, he immediately raised his head. His eyeballs were red, as if he had just eaten human flesh, and the veins on his forehead were furious. He said, "Where is the man?! Send him to the capital immediately, and I want to meet him face to face!"

Wei Man happened to also want to meet the soldier who attacked the city, and said: "Send the capital to the capital immediately. With this man, we can sue Chen Ji severely in front of the owner and make him a target of public criticism!"

Chen Ji's subordinates had already been captured. Because he went deep into Luzhou, Sima Yue led his troops to fight and trapped those people.

Chen Ji's subordinates were quickly transferred to the capital.

Wei Man heard about this and said, "Call Bogui, we'll go there immediately."

Lin Rang and Wei Man had just left the door of the house, and before walking a few steps, they saw Sima Bogui. It turned out that Sima Bogui also heard that the soldier had been escorted to the capital, so he came to ask for interrogation.

The three of them went to the cell together, and the jailer opened the door of the cell and walked in from the outside.

The inside was dark, a little dim, exuding a wave of dampness and haze, and I saw a prison cell filled with black chains, and a tall and strong man with a wooden shackle around his neck was sitting in the cell.

As soon as Sima Bogui saw the man, he rushed over immediately, "Boom!!" With a loud noise, the general in the cell was startled and turned his head to look.

After seeing it clearly, the general laughed loudly and said, "Is this General Sima? Not like, not like! Your younger brother was born with a delicate face, pampered like a son-in-law, but General Sima himself is very heroic. No wonder General Sima was like a thunderbolt, but the young general was shot to death by two arrows?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The general said that's all, and laughed for a while, but before his laughter fell, Sima Bogui's eyes were already red, he stretched out his hand, grabbed the chain on the general's body, and pulled it forward fiercely.

"Oh!"

The general was not prepared at all. Sima Bogui's movements were as ferocious as a beast. Because of the shackles on his neck, the general failed to hit the fence of the cell, but the shackles knocked on the fence and stuck the general's neck. asphyxia.

In an instant, the general's face turned red, his eyeballs were bloodshot, and he was struggling with a "crash and clatter", the iron chain shook and made a struggling sound of breaking. The sound of the chain became more and more urgent, but the swing became smaller and smaller. The general will soon fail.

Wei Man wanted to stop him, for fear that Sima Bogui would kill the general.

But Lin Rang raised his hand and said, "You must let General Sima vent your anger, otherwise you will be depressed and suffer from heart disease."

Wei Man didn't move. The guards next to him looked terrified. They were afraid that General Sima might accidentally strangle the prisoner to death in the cell. Is it the guard's business?

Just when the general was barely moving, Sima Bogui let go of his hand with a "crash!", and the iron chain made a violent sound and fell to the ground suddenly. At the same time, with a "Boom!", the general fell back He leaned back and fell to the ground, coughing non-stop, breathing deeply, and making a "ho-ho-ho-" breathing sound.

Wei Man walked over slowly, stood with his hands behind his back, and said, "If I ask you something, you can answer it. If I don't ask you, don't say too much. You also know that our general Sima has a bad temper."

The general fell on the ground, panting deeply.

Wei Man squinted his eyes and said, "How did Chen Ji send you to attack Luzhou, please tell me clearly."

The general gasped on the ground, and after a while, he said, "No... I wasn't sent by Chen Ji, it was Chen Zhonglu!"

Lin Rang frowned and said, "Chen Zhonglu?"

Everyone was a little surprised, the general's complexion improved slightly, he slowly got up from the ground, and said solemnly: "It's Chen Zhonglu! I was sent by Chen Zhonglu, you lead the troops to fight Chen Zhonglu!"

This general's tone was not right at first glance, Lin Rang also checked before, Bai Ma Yicong and Zhao Dian both said that Chen Ji attacked Luzhou by surprise and killed a carbine, but this general claimed to be from Chen Zhonglu.

The general was indeed under Chen Zhonglu's command before, but later because of some unpleasant things happened with Chen Zhonglu, he defected from Chen Zhonglu's command and joined Chen Zhonglu's sworn enemy, that is, Chen Ji.

Now the general identified Chen Zhonglu, perhaps because he wanted to take revenge on Chen Zhonglu.

The general laughed and said, "It's Chen Zhonglu! Go and catch him! Let the emperor order to kill him! Siege him! What are you waiting for?!"

Lin Rang said lightly: "Do you think we are as stupid as you?"

The general stared at Lin Rang and said, "What do you know?!"

Lin Rang sneered, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but the sneer was also very insincere, fleeting, and said: "Chen Ji asked you to attack Luzhou, and then framed Chen Zhonglu, do you think you can escape by doing this? What's even more ridiculous is , You still don’t know that Chen Ji has already regarded you as an abandoned son, and a stray dog ​​is still barking for the master who abandoned you, you are really loyal enough, it’s really epic.”

"What did you say?! Who is the lost dog!?"

The general stood up frantically and rushed towards Lin Rang. There was a fence in front of Lin Rang, and the general was wearing shackles around his neck. I won't be fooled, I am under Chen Zhonglu's command, and the one I obey is Chen Zhonglu!"

Lin Rang said lightly: "Why, haven't you seen it? Chen Ji used you. If you don't go to jail, how can he plant it on Chen Zhonglu? So you are a lost dog from the beginning to the end. It's really pitiful." Son."

Wei Man sneered, and said: "I confessed as soon as possible, and testified against Chen Ji in front of the master in the hall, so that I can consider it, so that you will not die."

"Hahaha!"

When the general heard this, he suddenly laughed again, like a crazy person, and said: "You kill me!! Kill me! I am from Chen Zhonglu! I am from Chen Zhonglu! I am serving Chen Zhonglu order, to attack Luzhou!"

The general was very stubborn and made up his mind, as if he wanted to "live and die together" with Chen Zhonglu.

When Wei Man heard this, he sneered and said, "Okay, you have a tough mouth, I'll have to see how tough your mouth can be!"

As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Sima Bogui, and said, "General Sima, it's a pleasure to entertain him."

Sima Bogui's face was throbbing with blue veins, he squinted and said, "Yes, my lord."

Wei Man took a look and signaled to Lin Rang that he could leave, and the two of them went out, while Sima Bogui stayed alone, preparing to entertain the stubborn general.

Wei Man and Lin Rang turned over to the door of the old house, got on their horses, and were about to leave when a soldier happened to escort a prisoner to the cell.

"Wei Gong! Wei Gong!"

"The governor!"

The prisoner called Wei Man, then went to call Lin Rang, yelled, kept struggling, and looked at Lin Rang's horse's hooves. If the shadowless horse hadn't reacted quickly and quickly stopped the hoof, the prisoner might have been trampled to pieces. up.

Wei Man and Lin Rang took a closer look and found that the mastermind was far away.

Youyuan was tied up by five flowers, looking very embarrassed, with a disheveled face, when he saw Wei Man and Lin Rang, he rushed over and shouted: "Wei Gong! Governor! Save the villain! Save the villain!"

Chen Ji suddenly killed a carbine in Luzhou, and Sima Yue died in battle. This matter has spread to the capital, and the mastermind, You Yuan, as the envoy for peace, has been sold out by Chen Ji.

Chen Ji was not in the capital, but Youyuan hadn't left in the capital yet, so he was caught and there was no way he could escape.

Youyuan was escorted all the way to the cell, and kept yelling to see Wei Man, and even the owner, but no one paid any attention to him.

Youyuan saw Wei Man and Lin Rang, as if he saw relatives, "Gudong!" He knelt on the ground and shouted: "Wei Gong, Wei Gong, please forgive me—the villain really doesn't know, and the villain was also killed by Chen. Ji is insidious, if the villain knows that Chen Ji is going to take back Luzhou, how can he go to Beijing to be an envoy? Isn't this self-defeating?! Wei Gongming!"

Wei Man sneered, and said, "It's another lost dog, but...it's useless to say too much. If you work hard for Chen Ji, you should know that sooner or later there will be a day when no one will persecute you."

"Forgive me!" You Yuan yelled: "Although it is so, but...but the villain begged Wei Gong to give the villain a way to redeem his crime!"

Youyuan kowtowed vigorously, and said: "Duke Wei, listen to the villain, Mr. Wei, the general who was detained today was originally under Chen Zhonglu's command, so this is Chen Ji's poisonous plan. He wants to frame this matter to Chen Zhonglu. , if the teacher of the master is unknown, then according to the prestige of Chen Jizu, many people will definitely attack the master, and it will be very unfavorable to the public opinion of Duke Wei and the governor. In my humble opinion, I may help a little..."

Youyuan was afraid that Wei Man would not allow him to continue, so he quickly kowtowed and said, "Wei Gong, since Chen Ji doesn't admit that he did it, it's easy to handle, please issue an order from the owner, and follow the same method, just like Wei Gong at that time. Then he said that Chen Ji had meritorious service in escorting him, but he was defeated and retreated to Guofan, so the owner intends to reward Chen Ji and ask him to come to Beijing to receive a seal of gratitude."

That's how the little emperor invited Wei Man to Beijing to thank him, and now You Yuan wants to do the same.

Youyuan said again: "As long as Chen Ji can let go of his military power and enter the capital, then whether Chen Ji killed Luzhou or not, whether he admits it or not, isn't it all in your hands, Mr. Wei? If he doesn't go to Beijing... that's disobedience and disrespect! When the time comes, the Lord will respond to one order, and there will be fewer people to attack Chen Ji?"

Wei Man squinted his eyes. Youyuan's method is indeed a method, and it is very insidious. Regardless of whether Chen Chengji admits to attacking Luzhou, he will die if he enters Beijing, or he will die if he does not enter Beijing. Let's see what method he is going to choose. son!

Youyuan was afraid that Wei Man would disagree, so he quickly kowtowed and said, "Wei Gongmingjian, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as the owner writes an edict, he will say that Chen Ji will be made a general of chariots, and he is going to praise Chen Ji and let Chen Ji After relinquishing the military power and entering the capital to be enfeoffed, Duke Wei, what are you still hesitating about?!"

What Wei Man hesitated was not this idea, but You Yuan.

Wei Man didn't speak immediately, but urged his horse to come to Lin Rang, and said in a low voice, "Lin Rang, how about You Yuan?"

Wei Man and You Yuan are old acquaintances. They used to drink together when it was still peaceful.

Because of Wei Man's noble background and wealthy family background, no one dared to look down on Wei Man's family background as an eunuch, and they all scrambled to be friends with Wei Man.

Back then, Wei Man, Chen Ji, You Yuan, and Yang Yue's elder brother were all very good wine and meat friends. They spent a lot of time drinking and drinking, scattered money to help others, and made a lot of fame.

Wei Man knew that Youyuan was talented and thoughtful, but he was greedy for money and power, and he liked to be jealous of others. Make a fuss.

Therefore, Wei Man hesitated.

Knowing that Lin Rang was a "prophet", Wei Man planned to hear what Lin Rang meant.

Lin Rang narrowed his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Youyuan is talented and scheming, but he is arrogant and easy to be proud of his talents. Now that he is willing to submit to the lord, he will not be killed immediately. He can be used."

When Wei Man heard this, he felt relieved.

That's true, Youyuan can be used, and he is of great use value, but later, because Youyuan feels that he has repeatedly made military exploits, he becomes domineering, and even the lord Wei Man dares to charge, often in front of everyone. In front of him, relying on some friendship with Wei Man, he directly called Wei Man by name, and said that without him, Wei Man could not win the battle, and said in front of the people in the whole city that without him, Wei Man could not enter the city gate.

What kind of person is Wei Man?At that time, Wei Man's financial resources and military power were constantly expanding, and he defeated Chen Ji, so his arrogance was naturally extraordinary. How could he tolerate a counselor who judged himself, or in front of his courtiers and the common people.

In the end, Youyuan angered Wei Man, but he still couldn't escape the death penalty.

But these are all things to say later, Lin Rang thought, since he can use it, why not use it?

Hearing Lin Rang's words, Wei Man took a reassurance, and said to You Yuan: "Okay, I will spare your life today."

When Youyuan heard this, he opened his eyes wide, and looked at Wei Man in surprise, and then he realized that it was not Wei Man who spared his life, but Lin Rang who spared his life.

Youyuan talked a lot in a long way, but it was not enough for Wei Man to ask Lin Rang a word.

Youyuan quickly knelt down, kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Duke Wei! Thank you, Inspector! Thank you, Lord Inspector! Thank you, thank you..."

Youyuan kowtowed to Lin Rang, knowing that only by praising Lin Rang submissively could he please Wei Man and gain a chance of survival.

Wei Man said: "Yuyuan, you were under Chen Ji's command in the past. You can avoid capital punishment, but life is inevitable. You will draft the edict calling Chen Ji to Beijing and present it to the Lord for review."

"Yes! Yes, the villain obeys! The villain obeys!"

You Yuan hurriedly kowtowed, Wei Man waved his hands, and the guards rushed up to untie the rope for You Yuan, and quickly untied him.

Youyuan's imperial edict was quickly drafted, and handed over to the little emperor for review, he said that Chen Ji had meritorious service in escorting him, and the little emperor was going to reward Chen Ji for his meritorious service, summon Chen Ji to Beijing, and confer the title of general of chariots and cavalry.

At that time, Chen Ji did go to the capital to fight against the Guofan rebels, but it was only the fifth day after he found out about the incident, and when he arrived in the capital, he didn't enter the door, so he was driven back by Wei Man.

Therefore, what you say about rewarding merit and deeds is false at first glance.

How could Chen Ji believe such a fake thing? After all, he is a cautious person, even if it is true news, he usually does not believe it, let alone this?

Entering the capital and being entrusted, the military power must be cut off. Chen Ji always felt uneasy without soldiers and horses, and Wei Man was in the capital. Chen Jigang killed Sima Bogui's younger brother. The hatred was settled, so it was Give Chen Ji 120 guts, and Chen Ji will not enter Beijing.

If Chen Ji didn't go to Beijing, he would be disrespecting the imperial edict.

Forbidden Court Hall.

In the main hall, the lord ascended to his seat, and all the ministers saluted, the little emperor waved his hands, stretched out his sleeves and sat down, and said in a loud voice: "I think you all have heard that I rewarded Chen Ji for meritorious service, and called Chen Ji to the capital. It is really unreasonable to make him General Hussars, and Chen Ji, how did Chen Ji reply!"

"Oh!"

As the little emperor spoke, he slapped the table fiercely, looking decent, as if a thunderbolt was enraged.

"The lord, calm down! The lord, calm down!"

The officials quickly bowed down again.

The little emperor said: "Chen Ji's mercenary in Yanzhou, relying on himself as the Sangong, has become less and less respectful of me. The Chen family is full of loyalty. How can there be such an unfaithful and unfilial person like Chen Ji!?"

Wei Man was the first to stand up, and Ying He said: "I have heard that people who can't even tolerate brothers must be narrow-minded. Not a good kind!"

The little emperor sang with Wei Man and said: "That's right, what Duke Wei said is very true. Now Chen Ji doesn't take me seriously and doesn't respect the destiny. It's really abominable. I'm going to send troops to attack Chen Ji. What do you think? "

When the ministers heard the little emperor and Wei Man singing together, they knew something was wrong. Now that the little emperor said his intentions, everyone started whispering.

"The emperor wants to beat Chen Ji..."

"It seems to be an excuse."

"What excuse does he have? Chen Ji has too many troops, he should have been beaten long ago."

"Yes, it's just that no one is willing to stand out on weekdays. If the emperor orders it now, I'm afraid he can form a coalition army to attack Chen Ji."

"The most important thing is to learn from the teacher."

That's right, the teacher is famous!

The little emperor had already handed the knife to him. All he needed was for someone to take the knife and cut it directly on Chen Ji's neck. Why not do such a simple thing?

Wei Man's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses is already very bluffing, but Chen Ji has more soldiers and horses, not only that, he also has prestige and popular support.

Don't look at Chen Ji's superficial plan, like a hypocrite, but relying on the reputation of his ancestors and his own prestige, he loves the people very much, and is commonly known as being very good at showing off. That is very supportive.

Therefore, in the face of such a local force with strong soldiers, strong horses, well-equipped supplies, and loved by the people, the other prefects and state shepherds did not dare to fight, and their teachers were unknown.

Now that she has finally gained a reputation, can everyone not be ready to move?

Seeing everyone's appearance, Wei Man couldn't help but sneered, stood up and said, "My lord, Wei Man begs!"

"it is good!"

The little emperor said in a loud voice: "Duke Wei is so loyal and shared my worries, he is really the pillar of our country!"

The others were already ready to move, but now that Wei Man responded, the others also began to respond, gearing up one after another.

"The minister is willing to share the worries of the Lord!"

"I am willing to share my worries!"

"I beg you!"

Lin Rang couldn't help smiling when he heard the voices coming and going in the court hall. It seemed that Chen Ji was in serious trouble this time.

The little emperor immediately ordered that General Hussars be in charge of the crusade against Chen Ji, and part of the military pay would be distributed by the imperial court. Soon, the crusade was also issued. As a result, the prefects and herdsmen of the prefectures all over the country were ready to move after hearing the news.

For a time, the troops assembled to attack Chen Ji reached as high as [-] units, which had already caught up with the number used to attack Tong Gao back then.

And over the years, everyone has understood the importance of population. Therefore, when the prefects governed the local area, they encouraged births, recruited strong men, and continued to expand their population and military strength. So now eighteen troops are gathered together. The 10,000+ army that attacked Tong Gao back then was so small.

Not long after, 30 troops have been assembled!

Among these crusade troops, there is even Wude.

Speaking of Wu De, Wei Man almost forgot about this kid.

Wu De was imprisoned in Luzhou's cell at that time. When the imperial decree of the little emperor Tween came, everyone divided some soldiers and horses. The other generals absolutely did not want them. They vowed to follow Wei Man to the death, but Wu De took over his own. Three thousand soldiers and horses, after ordering the soldiers and horses...

ran again.

Today's Wude has assembled almost five thousand troops under his command. Hearing that the crusade against Chen Ji is very powerful, he also participated in the crusade, accepted the call for crusade, and reported five thousand soldiers.

When Wei Man saw the summary documents reported to him, he laughed angrily, and said, "Wu De? Why is it this old boy again!"

Wu De is now in his thirties, older than Wei Man and the others, but he has been doing nothing and always running away, so Wei Man obviously looks down on him.

Lin Rang heard Wei Man talking about "Wu De", so he walked over, picked up the document and looked at it, and sure enough, he frowned when he saw the number of soldiers and horses reported by Wu De.

Seeing him frowning, Wei Man asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Rang sat down, flipped through the documents slowly, and said, "Duke Wei, don't underestimate Wu De."

Wei Man didn't take it seriously, and said, "What? He's still a great person?"

Lin Rang looked at Wei Man and nodded.

Wei Man was checking the amount of grain and grass, and when he saw Lin Rang nodding, he paused his brush and almost punched a fork in the playbook, saying, "Wonderful virtue?"

Lin Rang said lightly: "Didn't Rang tell Wei Gong?"

Wei Man looked confused and said, "What did you say?"

Lin Rang said lightly: "In the future, whoever will share the world with Duke Wei will have a share of martial virtue."

"what!?"

Wei Man was taken aback, and suddenly stood up, and said in shock: "That old boy Wu De?!"

Today's Wude looks a bit down and out, with three thousand soldiers and horses running away, even if new refugees are recruited, the total is only five thousand soldiers and horses, which is not enough for Wei Man to snap his fingers, but in the future he will fight three times with himself Divide the world.

Wei Man thought for a while, raised his hand, and said, "Three?"

There should be another one, so he said, "Who is the other one?"

Lin Rang raised his eyebrows and said, "He's the younger brother of General Wu Yan."

Wei Man was taken aback again, Wu Yan's younger brother?That little hairy boy, who hasn't grown up yet, wants to share the world with him.

Wei Man immediately said to Lin Rang: "Lin Rang, you can't turn your elbows away. If you think Lu Jinyu is handsome, help them Wu."

Lin Rang raised his hand, gestured twice, and said, "Strange, my lord, can this elbow be turned inward?"

Wei Man: "..."

Everyone assembled a large army, and everyone sent troops generously, but what surprised Wei Man was that Chen Zhonglu was the only one who didn't send troops.

Logically speaking, Chen Zhonglu and Chen Jinai are mortal enemies, and they will never give up when they meet without being jealous.

But Chen Zhonglu didn't make any movement this time. Facing such a golden opportunity, Chen Zhonglu should be the first to hit him when he is down.

Wei Man waited for a long time, and Chen Zhonglu's transfer book was the last one to arrive in the capital. It was even more strange to unfold it.

Seeing that Wei Man frowned, Lin Rang took the book and read it for himself. After reading it, he handed it to Wei Man, and said flatly, "I don't understand."

Wei Man: "..."

Wei Man almost laughed out loud, but he didn't blame Lin Rang either. The letter written by Chen Zhonglu was full of uncommon characters, so Lin Rang couldn't understand it.

Wei Man said: "Chen Zhonglu said that he is sick these days, so it is not easy to send troops, and when he recovers, he will definitely catch up with the troops."

Lin Rang narrowed his eyes and said, "Chen Zhonglu is tricky."

Wei Man nodded and said, "Indeed."

The two were talking, and over there Sima Bogui, dressed in black armor, had already walked in from the outside, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, governor, the soldiers and horses have been fired and are ready to go at any time."

Today is the day to send troops, Wei Man's troops are going to leave the capital, come to Luzhou to join the army, and then join the coalition forces to attack Chen Ji together.

Wei Man walked over, patted Sima Bogui on the shoulder lightly, and said, "Bogui, even though you may not listen to what you say, but when fighting Chen Ji, remember to stay calm and don't get angry."

Sima Bogui's expression was very indifferent and calm, as if he had not received the news of Sima Yue's death, he looked at Wei Man quietly, clasped his fists and said, "The humble general knows."

Looking at Sima Bogui's appearance, Wei Man knew that he didn't listen at all. He knew Sima Bogui's temperament, and the reason why he treated Sima Yue so well was because Sima Yue was his "thought".

Once a person loses his thoughts, it is like a puppet on a string is broken.

After Sima Bogui finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. Lin Rang suddenly said indifferently, "Young General, I certainly don't want to see General Sima like this."

Sima Bogui paused for a moment before withdrawing, without speaking or looking back, he quickly walked out of the lobby.

Wei Man's army set off in a mighty way, and marched quickly all the way to Luzhou.

Just when he was about to reach Luzhou, by coincidence, he met Wu De who came to respond to the crusade.

Wu De led his [-] soldiers and horses, which can be said to be "dispatched in full force", and they happened to collide with Wei Man.

Logically speaking, Wu De escaped twice, and when he saw Wei Man again, he should be embarrassed. However, Wu De did not show any embarrassment. !"

Ever since Wei Man heard Lin Rang say that Wu De was the one who was equal to himself, he couldn't help but look at Wu De a little more.

But then again, Wu De is a man with a deep scheming mind, talking nonsense when he sees people, and talking nonsense when he sees ghosts, and he seems to have no skills, a refined and honest person, easy to bully, in fact?

In the hinterland, he is the only "thief and bad guy".

In this way, if it is said that martial arts can achieve some achievements in the future, it is reasonable to say that it is a late bloomer.

Wu De stepped forward to "strike up a conversation" with Wei Man, who knew that Wei Man's eyes were a little strange, looking him up and down, as if he was a piece of fat waiting to be slaughtered, Wu De felt numb all over.

Wu De thought that he had offended Wei Man a few days ago, so Wei Man had a grudge against him, so he said very sincerely: "Wei Gong, there seems to be some misunderstanding between Li De and Wei Gong in the past, but today Wei Gong and De serve as the master. It is my order to attack Chen Ji, and I ask Duke Wei to ignore the previous suspicions."

Wei Man smiled "hehe" and said, "General Wu, you have misunderstood. Gu sees General Wu's face radiant today and looks like a general. How can there be misunderstandings and gaps?"

Wu De felt strange, Wei Man's eyes clearly seemed to be skinned, there was no radiance in his face, no one would believe him when he said it.

Wu De hurriedly agreed, and said: "Yes, it's rare that Duke Wei camps here too. How about our tents being together, Duke Wei?"

When Wei Man heard it, he understood, this Wu De was really cheap to use himself, Wu De only had 5000 people, and they were all refugees, and Wei Man's team was very rich in terms of number and baggage, Wu De thought To camp together is to seek the protection of Wei Man.

Wei Man turned a blind eye and closed his eyes, let it go, and in the future he will attack Chen Ji together, this idea can still be a small advantage, lest people see that he, the general of Hussars, is not brave enough.

Wei Man readily agreed and said, "What's the matter? It's good."

Wu De was flattered by the answer, and hurriedly ordered soldiers to camp next to Wei Man's camp, connecting the camp together.

Now he is close to Luzhou, but he has not yet arrived in Luzhou. When Chen Ji heard that the coalition forces were coming to attack him, he had already evacuated Luzhou and hid back to his own land, Yanzhou.

But Wei Man was worried, he was afraid that Chen Ji would send someone to attack the camp, so he specially sent Sima Bogui to search around, not to relax his vigilance.

Silent night.

There was almost no sound in the camp, only the footsteps of patrolling around. It was already past midsummer, and the weather was getting cooler. The barren autumn colors reflected the magnificent military camp, showing a desolate and tragic atmosphere.

Both Wei Man and Lin Rang couldn't sleep, so they got out of the camp, ready to walk around and check whether the patrol and defense were lax.

Wei Man sighed, Lin Rang turned his head and said, "Mr. Wei has something on his mind?"

Wei Man smiled, but it wasn't the usual frivolous smile, but rather bitter and helpless, and said, "Yeah, I'm thinking about Sima Yue..."

Wei Man said that's all, sighed again, he thought of a lot, Sima Yue has stayed in Weiying all these years, on the one hand, to treat illnesses, and of course, on the other hand, to thank Lin Rang for his kindness back then.

And his elder brother, Sima Bogui, also stayed in Wei Manying because of Sima Yue.

Now that Sima Yue is gone, it is absolutely impossible for Wei Man to say that he does not feel distressed. After all, we have been together for five years, and we are good brothers who have lived and died together. We have experienced many times of life and death together.

But Wei Man sighed, there is another aspect, Sima Bogui is a wild wolf
