Xu Shu and Shi Tao were both stunned after listening to the detailed report. They never dreamed that the development of things would almost always develop according to what Han Zhan wrote in his letters.

It took a while for Shi Tao to wake up from his shock. He stood aside regardless of the details, and said to Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi, the lord is really like a god, and everything is within his expectations." Shi was really impressed. ”

Regarding Shi Tao's statement, Xu Shu just smiled faintly, and then asked Xizuo: "Have you ever sent someone to monitor outside the General's Mansion?" ”

"In reply to Mr. Xu's words," replied Hosaku respectfully, "my subordinates have left two men at the front and rear doors, and if there is any trouble, they will come and report to me immediately." ”

"Yuanzhi, what are you going to do?" Shi Tao and Xu Shu have been old friends for many years, and when they saw him ask such a question, they guessed that he must have any other plans, so they asked directly.

Who knew that Xu Shu did not answer him immediately, but waved his hand at the fine and said, "You are also tired from a day's work, go down and rest first, and then report to me when there is news." ”

After Xizuo left, Xu Shu said to Shi Tao: "Guangyuan, now that Guo Yan has gathered his henchmen in the military camp to discuss matters in the general's mansion, it is estimated that he is planning to attack Li Dao, I think we should go and report to Li Dao." ”

"What, Yuan Zhi, what did you say?" When Shi Tao heard Xu Shu say this, he immediately jumped up, and couldn't help but say with round eyes: "Let Li Guo and the others kill each other, it's not a plan that the lord has already set, we just need to watch from the wall, why do we want to report to Li Wei and let him get ready?" ”

Regarding Shi Tao's question, Xu Shu smiled and didn't say anything, just looked up at him. Shi Tao is also a smart person, and after a while, he understood Xu Shu's purpose for doing this. He said with a look of sudden realization: "Yuan Zhi, you said that you went to ventilate and report the news, because you were worried that Li Dao was unprepared and was caught off guard by Guo Yan......

"That's right, that's what it means." Xu Shu didn't wait for Shi Tao to finish speaking, and then continued: "If Li Wei is eliminated by Guo Yan in the shortest possible time, then his soldiers and horses will inevitably be absorbed by Guo Yan, and in this way, Guo Yan's strength will be greatly increased." But if we report to Li Wei and let him prepare in advance, then even if we cause Guo Yan's attack, we will not suffer heavy losses. As long as the two of them are inseparable, the strength of both sides will be weakened, and then the lord will lead his troops to Chang'an, and the two will be destroyed. ”

"Yuan Zhi, you say, when will we send someone to inform Li Dao?"

"This time can't be too early, if it's too early, Li Dao won't believe it;" Xu Shu said thoughtfully: "If it's too late, Li Wei has already been caught off guard by Guo Yan, even if he wants to do something, he is a little powerless." Therefore, the choice of timing is quite important. ”

Shi Tao knew that his old friend had always been resourceful, so he humbly asked him for advice: "Then when do you think is the best time?" ”

"When Guo Yan's men leave the General's Mansion and return to the barracks, we can do it." Xu Shu said to Shi Tao: "Once the spies we left outside the General's Mansion come back with any information, we can send someone to warn Li Wei, lest he be caught off guard by Guo Yan's killing." ”

Almost an hour later, the spies who stayed outside the General's Mansion came back to report that Guo Yan's henchmen had left the General's Mansion and had returned to their own barracks.

Xu Shu nodded after hearing this, and then found the steady detail. saw a letter written on the cloth and handed it to him, and repeatedly advised: "You must find a way to hand over this letter to Li Dao as soon as possible, otherwise you will miss a big mistake." ”

Xizuo took the letter in Xu Shu's hand, and rushed to Li Dao's Da Sima Mansion with a few subordinates, preparing to hand over the warning letter to Li Dao.

Looking at the backs of several people leaving, Shi Tao asked with some worry: "Yuan Zhi, can this matter be done?" ”

"I see that ** can be done." Xu Shu nodded and said, "When Li Wei receives the letter from us and sends someone to check it in the barracks, he will know that what he said in his heart is true, and he will definitely be furious and fight with Guo Yan with all his troops and horses." ”

With his men, he stopped at a distance of about fifty paces from the Great Sima Mansion, and then several people began to discuss how to send the letter to Li Dao without attracting the attention of others. He looked at Ding Si, who he trusted the most, and asked, "Ding Si, if I ask you to do this, what are you going to do?" ”

"Big brother," said the spy known as Ding Si to Hosaku, "if we go directly to the gate and tell the soldiers guarding the gate that Guo Yan is going to lead his troops to attack here, they will definitely be cut into flesh with their knives." In my opinion, it is better to tie this letter to the shaft of an arrow and shoot the letter at it. ”

"That's a good idea." Regarding Ding Si's proposal, he nodded and said, "Then let's do it." I'll tie the letter to the shaft of the arrow later, and you'll take care of the archery. ”

A moment later, Xu Shu's warning letter was tied to the shaft of the arrow, and Ding Si opened his bow and shot an arrow towards the Great Sima Mansion. Arrows flew over the heads of the gatekeepers and nailed them to the pillars, startling them. After shouting for a while, they found an arrow nailed to the pillar.

The team in charge took the arrow off the pillar, tied a letter to it, and dared to slack off, and hurriedly trotted all the way into the mansion, and went directly to the living room to see Li Dao.

Li Wei, who was a little drunk, was lying on the couch and drowsy at the moment, when he suddenly heard someone shouting loudly: "Qi Qi Da Sikong, the little one picked up a letter outside the mansion and handed it to the general." ”

An official named Zuo Ling was sitting on the side at the moment. Li Dao said to him: "Go over and see, what is written in the letter?" ”

Zuo Ling walked in front of the team leader, took the letter in his hand, and after unfolding it, he only looked at it a few times, and couldn't help but be shocked. He hurriedly came to Li Dao and said to him, "General Zhiran, something is wrong. ”

"Out of ...... Out of the ...... What's the big ...... What's the big deal? Li Wei asked a little slurred.

"Someone told us in my heart that Guo Yan was gathering a large army and preparing to come and attack us." Zuo Ling said to Li Dao in a little flustered: "Please also ask Da Sima to prepare early." ”

Zuo Ling's words startled Li Wei into a cold sweat, and he was so frightened that he woke up at that time. A look of disbelief appeared on his face, "Why did Addo raise an army against me?" As everyone knows, I have always treated him well. ”

Zuo Ling shook his head and said to Li Wei: "Da Sima, my subordinates think that the origin of this letter is suspicious, and they should not be gullible or distrustful. ”

"Zuo Ling, in your opinion, what should we do?"

"If General Guo really wants to raise troops to attack you, he must be deploying troops in his military camp at this moment." Zuo Ling suggested to Li Dao: "Da Sima might as well send someone to spy in the barracks, if we are really preparing for war, then we should take precautions as soon as possible." ”

After Li Wei killed Fan Chou a few days ago, he has been unsteady in his heart, and he is deeply afraid that someone will come to avenge Fan Chou. At this moment, I heard that Guo Yan was mobilizing troops and horses, preparing to deal with him. Thinking of this, he hurriedly called a few of his own soldiers and ordered them to rush to Guo Yan's military camp immediately to see if there was any movement in the camp.

One of the soldiers sent returned in less than half an hour. He knelt down in front of Li Dao and said: "Back to the Great Sima, the general's military camp is very lively at this moment, and the generals everywhere are transferring troops and sending generals, according to small guesses, I am afraid that they are planning to attack somewhere." ”

Li Wei waved his hand at his own soldiers, and after sending him away, he said to Zuo Ling: "Zuo Ling, if Guo Yan really leads troops to attack, how should I deal with it?" ”

"Da Sima," Zuo Ling thought that he was on Li Wei's side, if Guo Yan really wanted to do something about counterattacking, he would not be able to escape death, so he could only fight to the death: "Since Guo Yan is already mobilizing troops, we must not sit idly by." In the opinion of our subordinates, we also dispatched troops and horses to the Great Sima Mansion as soon as possible, in case Guo Yan directly led his troops to attack the mansion. ”

Regarding Zuo Ling's proposal, Li Dao nodded and agreed: "This is very good, I will give an order to the deployment in the military camp, let them immediately lead the soldiers and horses into the city, and come here to join us." ”

There were originally 500 soldiers and horses in the Great Sima Mansion, and after Li Wei learned that Guo Yan was going to lead troops to attack, in a hurry, he dispatched another 2,500 people to defend his mansion so as not to be attacked by Guo Yan.

On the fourth watch, just as the soldiers on guard in the Li Mansion were all drowsy, they suddenly heard neat footsteps on the street outside, and then heard someone shouting: "Quickly surround the Great Sima Mansion, don't leave the dog thief of Li Dao." ”

When he saw the guards outside the Great Sima Mansion and saw the men and horses he brought, he immediately retracted back into the mansion, thinking that the other party was afraid of him, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to attack the Great Sima Mansion. As soon as they rushed to the front of the house, they were met with a flurry of arrows, and the dozen or so soldiers who rushed to the front were shot into hedgehogs.

Seeing that the mansion had already been prepared, his henchmen sent people to continue to besiege the Great Sima Mansion, and at the same time sent people to report to Guo Yan, saying that his soldiers and horses had surrounded the Great Sima Mansion, so he asked the general to come over and preside over the overall situation.

The team in charge took the arrow off the pillar, tied a letter to it, and dared to slack off, and hurriedly trotted all the way into the mansion, and went directly to the living room to see Li Dao.
