Under Han Cheng's special order, the intelligence battalion paid special attention to the news of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan.

At this time, Liu Bei was leading the army to be stationed in Xiaopei in Xuzhou, and had a very close relationship with the family in Xuzhou, and faintly plotted against Xuzhou.

The intelligence battalion passed this news to Li Ru and Han Cheng, and the two reached a consensus in an instant.

Liu Bei's occupation of Xuzhou was very beneficial to the annexation of Xuzhou, so he tacitly expressed his support for his plot against Xuzhou.

At this time, Sun Quan was only eleven years old and was far away in Yangzhou.

Sun Quan's father, Sun Jian, was shot dead by Liu Biao's subordinate Huang Zu in 192 in Xianshan, Jingzhou, and Sun Quan followed his brother Sun Ce to guard his father's filial piety for two years.

Two years later, Sun Ce returned to Yuan Shu's tent and conquered the city for Yuan Shu.

Under Sun Ce's arrangement, Sun Quan first lived in Qu'a County for a period of time, and then lived in Liyang County and Fuling County for a period of time due to the war.

The soldiers of the intelligence battalion lurking around Sun Quan constantly passed on Sun Quan's specific news to his boss Bai Hua, but he often muttered in his heart: "So many princes don't pay attention, but pay attention to an eleven-year-old child, what do the people above think?" ”

Bai Hua is meticulous in his work, no matter whether the news is important or not, as long as it is asked by Li Ru and Han Cheng, it will be carefully sorted out and personally sent to Li Ru or Han Cheng.

Li Ru was also very confused by Han Cheng's special attention to Sun Quan's behavior, and tentatively asked Han Cheng:

"Lord, although Sun Quan's son is extraordinary, he is still young, so he can't have much success for the time being, right? Isn't it a bit big to spend so much manpower paying attention to him now? ”

Han Cheng knew that this kind of behavior would definitely puzzle the soldiers of the intelligence battalion, but he couldn't say that he came from the next generation and knew how powerful Sun Quan was.

I could only pretend to be mysterious and say: "Wenyou! In my opinion, Sun Quan's achievements will definitely be above Yuan Shao in the future, so you should pay attention to it first, and remember not to be careless. ”

Li Ru has always believed in Han Cheng's words, and seeing that Han Cheng said it so seriously, it made his subordinates pay more attention to Sun Quan.

At this time, Cao Cao was at a low point in his life, and his newly stabilized 'base area', Yanzhou, was captured by Lu Bu, Zhang Miao and other rebels.

The news quickly reached Han Cheng's hands.

After Han Cheng received this news, he was overjoyed.

At this time, if you take the opportunity to add fire, you are simply sorry for yourself.

Han Cheng thought for a moment, and then ordered someone to summon Zhang Yang.

Since Zhang Yang surrendered to Han Cheng, he knew that his identity was special.

Therefore, he has been trembling and cautious in doing things, for fear that he will accidentally offend Han Cheng and be killed by Han Cheng with an excuse.

When he heard Han Cheng's summons today, he hurried to the state governor's mansion to wait for the dispatch.

When Han Cheng saw Zhang Yang coming, he was not very polite, and said solemnly: "Uncle Zhi, do you still have contact with Lu Bu now?" ”

When Zhang Yang heard Han Cheng's question, he was shocked: "Is this to find an excuse to kill yourself?" ”

Without saying a word, he immediately knelt down.

While kowtowing, he said quickly: "Back to the lord, I have long lost contact with Lu Bu.

I've been staying in the house honestly, and no one has ever been contacted. ”

Seeing Zhang Yang's demeanor, and the fact that he had already received the information about the intelligence battalion's monitoring of Zhang Yang, Han Cheng said to Zhang Yang in a soft tone:

"Uncle Zhi, don't panic. I have called you here because I have something to do with you. I have something important to discuss with Lu Bu now, and I need Uncle Zhi to go to Yanzhou. ”

Zhang Yang was still uneasy in his heart, and said secretly: "Is this a temptation? Ay! No matter what, as long as he doesn't let go and shows a very loyal appearance, Han Chengcheng will definitely not find an excuse to kill himself. ”

Thinking about this, Zhang Yang resolutely replied: "Please believe in the lord's subordinates, the subordinates really have no contact with Lu Bu, if the lord really has something important, his subordinates are willing to go to Yanzhou for the lord." ”

Han Cheng saw Zhang Yang's posture and said in his heart: "No wonder Zhang Yang occupied Shangdang County and Hanoi County for eight years, and in the end, he didn't gain anything except for the result of the betrayal of his subordinates. It has a lot to do with his guts. ”

He continued to say to Zhang Yang: "Uncle Zhi, don't worry, this time it's really serious."

After you go to Yanzhou, tell your friend Lu Bu that I, Han Cheng, have admired his superb martial arts for a long time, and hope to reach an alliance with him and share the world. When this is done, I am willing to share the world with him.

I hope that General Lu will immediately send troops to occupy Ha Duong County, Huai County and other places in the northeast of Hanoi County, and I will also immediately send troops from Shangdang County to occupy Shanyang County, Wen County and other places in the northeast of Hanoi County.

Open up the access between Yanzhou and Merge States, and when the time is right, we can also support each other. ”

Zhang Yang saw that Han Cheng had even told him about the next battle plan, and knew that what Han Cheng said must be true.

Then he said: "The subordinates will leave for Yanzhou, meet Lu Bu, and convey the lord's intention to him." ”

After Zhang Yang left, Li Ru came out of the side hall and asked Han Cheng with a smile: "Lord, aren't you afraid that Zhang Yang will never return?" ”

After listening to Li Ru's words, Han Cheng said with a look of hope: "If Zhang Yang doesn't come back, it's too late for me to be happy." ”

Li Ru looked at Han Cheng's demeanor, listened to what Han Cheng said, and said in his heart: "No, Zhang Yang is back, and he still doesn't know how to settle it?"

If the placement is high, I am afraid that he will not die of a thief and start the stove again; The placement is low, and I am afraid that the hearts of the converts will be cold.

Wouldn't it be appropriate not to come back? ”

......

Li Dao, Guo Yan and others held great power in Chang'an.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and his courtiers were naturally angry, but because they had no troops in their hands, they could only dare to be angry and did not dare to speak.

At this time, the Xiliang warlord Ma Teng and Li Dao and others led troops to attack each other due to personal matters, and the courtiers Chong Shao, Ma Yu, Liu Fan and others did not want to miss this 'God-given opportunity', so they secretly contacted Ma Teng, willing to be Ma Teng's internal response, and get rid of Li Dao and others together.

However, due to the poor secrecy work, the matter was exposed, and many courtiers involved in the matter could only flee to Huaili.

Li Dao has been in Xiliang for a long time and knows a truth - there are no soldiers, and only when there are soldiers can there be ideas.

If you want the courtiers to be honest and obedient, you can only defeat the army of Ma Teng and Han Sui and others first.

So, Li Wei sat in Chang'an, and let Fan Chou, Guo Yan and his nephew Li Li lead the army against Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Fan Chou, Guo Yan was the one who attacked Chang'an with Li Dao, and he has always been on an equal footing with Li Dao.

And Li Li is Li Wei's nephew, obviously a generation younger than Fan Chou and Guo Yan, so Fan Chou despises Li Li very much and does not treat him as a general.

After a battle, because the army led by Li Li was ineffective, Fan Chou did not show Li Li mercy at all, and loudly reprimanded Li Li in front of all the sergeants in the army:

"Everyone has led troops to kill your whole family, and you dare to be so lax when you fight, do you think that you are Li Dao's nephew, so I don't dare to kill you?"

Li Li felt that he had been greatly insulted, but because Fan Chou fought bravely and had great prestige in the army, he did not dare to attack, so he could only leave it for later.

A few months later, Ma Teng and Han Sui were defeated by Fan Chou, Guo Yan, Li Li and others, and retreated in the direction of Liangzhou, where Fan Chou led his army in pursuit.

Han Sui had a little friendship with Fan Chou before, so he said to Fan Chou: "Things in the world are unpredictable and unpredictable. You and I are fellow countrymen, and we should help each other.

Although there is some small friction now because of small things, we will still come together in the future, so it is better to let us go now, and we will see each other in the future. ”

Fan Chou felt that what Han Sui said was very reasonable, so he let Han Sui go, and let Han Sui lead the army to withdraw unharmed.

After returning to Chang'an, Li Li secretly told Li Wei: "When Fan Chou led the army to pursue Han Sui, he rode horses and laughed with Han Sui for a long time, and then let Han Sui's army leave.

Because the distance is too far, I can't hear what they are talking about, and I can only see that they are very close. ”

After Li Wei heard this, his face was cold, and he became suspicious of Fan Chou.

Li Li saw Li Dao's face and knew that his uncle was angry. I was happy in my heart: "Hmph! Fan Chou! If you dare to be so rude to me, this time I will take revenge, and I will let you die without a place to bury. ”

At this time, Fan Chou didn't feel that there was anything wrong with talking to Han Sui, and he still didn't have any defense against Li Wei, and he was dashing somewhere in Chang'an.

A year later, Fan Chou prepared to lead his army out of Guguan to fight, wanting Li Dao to increase his troops.

Because Li Wei believed Li Li's words, he became suspicious of Fan Chou; and because Fan Chou's prestige in the army is higher than himself.

When Fan Chou wanted to increase the army, Li Wei said in his heart: "Could it be that Fan Chou wants to send a letter to Guguan and establish himself as the king?" It's better to start first. ”

So, Li Wei set up a banquet in the General's Mansion to see Fan Chou off, but Fan Chou was defenseless and went to the banquet safely.

Halfway through the banquet, Li Wei had his nephew Hu Feng stab Fan Chou to death and annexed Fan Chou's subordinates.

After Fan Chou's death, Li Dao and other generals who occupied Chang'an became even more suspicious of each other.

One day, Li Wei hosted a banquet for Guo Yan in the General's Mansion and drunk Guo Yan.

Guo Yan was worried that Li Dao wanted to take the opportunity to kill him, so he hurriedly drank fecal juice to induce vomiting and relieve hangover.

After this banquet, the more Guo Yan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and Guo Yan's wife didn't like Li Dao, and slandered Li Dao many times in front of Guo Yan, so Guo Yan made up his mind to lead the army and attack Li Dao's troops.

Li Wei was attacked by Guo Yan, felt that he had suffered a loss, and did not send anyone to understand the situation with Guo Yan, so he led the army to attack Guo Yan's troops.

The two fought in Chang'an for several months, and the people and soldiers were killed and wounded.

Zhang Ji, who was an ally of Guo Yan and Li Dao, heard the news and hurried from Shaanxi County to persuade peace.

Li Dao and Guo Yan also felt that if they continued to fight like this, they would do too much damage to their forces, and they were also ready to negotiate peace.

As a result, Li Dao and Guo Yan exchanged their daughters as hostages, and the two sides reconciled.
