Chapter 919: Meritorious Town Lord
The mood fluctuations of the generals were soon transmitted to Tian Xu's ears, and the person who complained to Tian Xu was his brother Tian Hua, after he withdrew his troops from Huaizhou and returned to Yuancheng, instead of being punished, he was praised by the military advisor Xu Shi for having a sense of the overall situation, good at judging the situation, and strongly recommended him to Tian Xu to serve as the defense envoy of Yuancheng.
Tian Xu was indeed moved by Xu Shize's words, and canonized his brother Tian Hua as the defense envoy of Yuancheng, but Tian Hua's inaction in defending the city made Tian Xu very uneasy, and under the recommendation of Hu Cao, Tian Xu finally decided to replace Tian Hua's position as commander with Fu Luan, and Tian Hua was reappointed as the supervisor of the army.
The duty of the supervising army is to observe the morale of the army, check whether the generals are loyal, and supervise whether the generals are corrupt, etc., so as a supervising army, when there is a commotion among the army generals, Tian Hua immediately reports to the lord Tian Xu.
Tian Xu's face was very ugly, he hid this matter very deeply, he sent his henchman to kill Tian Yue's wife, children and mother halfway, how could the news spread? Is there a fish that slips through the net?
What annoyed Tian Xu even more was Fu Xuan's attitude, what is it called, 'I'll talk about this later?' Does he want to settle accounts with himself in the future?
Tian Xu was distraught and paced back and forth in the lobby with his hands in his hands, at this time, Tian Hua said cautiously: "If Your Highness can't make up your mind, you might as well ask Xu Junshi." ”
Tian Hua and Xu Shize have become allies, with the help of Xu Shize, he went from sitting on the cold bench for more than 20 years to taking power step by step, which is completely the credit of Xu Shize, at this time Xu Shize was left out in the cold, how could he stand by and watch.
Tian Xu also thought of Xu Shize's various benefits, and more importantly, he now has no pressure from the soldiers in the city, and he has begun to think about people, and Xu Shize is a master in this regard.
Tian Xu nodded, and then ordered: "Go and ask Xu Junshi to come and see me!" ”
When the soldiers went, Tian Xu said to his brother Tian Hua: "I need a list, who are the people who want to settle accounts with me?" You must get it to me as soon as possible. ”
Tian Hua pondered and said, "Fu Xuan should be the first. ”
"You can put him on the list, but I want the whole list, understand?"
Tian Hua nodded, said goodbye and walked first, just arrived at the gate of the mansion, but met Xu Shi in a hurry.
Tian Hua hurriedly pulled him aside and said in a low voice: "Fu Luan's generals want to liquidate the murder of Tian Yue's wife, children, and mother." ”
Of course, Xu Shi knew what was going on, and Zhang Guangji appropriately leaked the news of the killing of Tian Yue's wife and children, which aroused the indignation of the military.
"What is Fu Luan's attitude?" Xu Shi asked quietly.
"He said that he should focus on the overall situation, and this matter will be discussed later."
Xu Shi sneered, Fu Xuan was going to find death when he said this, but the weight was not enough.
"What is the attitude of King Wei?" Xu Shi asked again.
"The king of Wei wants to collect the list and sort out the list of all the generals who oppose him."
Xu Shi nodded, and said a few words to Tian Hua, Tian Hua was a little worried and asked, "Is this possible?" ”
Xu Shi poked his chest with his fingers, "Once it happens, none of your Tian family will survive, including me, if you don't accept it, I will leave Taiyuan tonight, I don't want to die!" ”
Tian Hua was shocked, and hurriedly nodded: "I understand, I will monitor it closely!" ”
Tian Hua left, Xu Shi came to the back hall quickly, he knew Tian Xu's attitude from Tian Hua, in fact, from Tian Xu summoned himself, he guessed the subtle changes in Tian Xu's mood.
Xu Shi knows Tian Xu very well, Tian Xu is very suspicious, if it is not a last resort, he will never use veterans like Fu Lan and Zhao Lun, now that Zhu Jun has withdrawn from the army, there is no worry about the siege, Tian Xu began to worry about Fu Luan holding military power.
When he came to the back hall, he saw Tian Xu pacing back and forth in the hall with his hands in his hands, and Xu Shi hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "See the prince!" ”
"The military advisor is here, please take a seat!"
Tian Xu's attitude was very kind, and he didn't feel guilty about snubbing Xu Shize, as if nothing had happened.
Xu Shi sat down, pretended not to know and asked, "Your Highness, what happened?" ”
Tian Xu sighed, and then told Xu Shize Tian Hua's report, he was a little annoyed and said: "I really don't understand, who leaked this matter?" ”
Xu Shi groaned and said: "There should be a fish that slipped through the net, I don't mean that the prince's people deliberately let it go, such as sending an entourage to buy food, or going to the front to arrange accommodation, etc., generally speaking, there will be a housekeeper in front of various arrangements, and the assassin ignores this person." ”
Xu Shize's explanation was very reasonable, and he suddenly made sense of the doubts in Tian Xu's heart, and he suddenly said with hatred in his heart: "In the end, these bastards are still ineffective!" ”
"Lord Wang, things have happened, and there is no point in blaming them, the key is how to solve these two crises?"
Tian Xu was stunned and asked puzzledly: "Why are there two crises?" ”
"Didn't Your Highness think of it? One is the crisis of the middle and lower generals, and the other is the crisis of Fu Xuan. ”
"Aren't these two crises one crisis?"
Xu Shi shook his head, "The middle and lower-level generals just want an explanation, but Fu Xuan is probably uncertain." ”
Tian Xu was taken aback and asked urgently, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"Lord Wang, the lowly position means that you want to do as much power as you want to do, and the middle and lower-level generals are dissatisfied, but at most they can only make noise, because they have limited power in their hands, and the power does not allow them to do bigger things, but Fu Lan is different, he holds military power, as long as he wants to do it, he is fully capable of doing bigger things, for example, establishing his own domain."
Xu Shize's last sentence made Tian Xudeng's face pale, and after a while, he swallowed and said, "He...... Will it? ”
"I don't know if he will be or not, but Li Wujun, Li Xilie, Wu Shaocheng, Li Zhengji and even Zhu Jun, everyone once praised them for their loyalty, but what is the result? Your Royal Highness, now is the era of feudal town secession, and even a famous minister like Han Rong who is loyal to the Tang Dynasty has seized Jiangnan, can Fu Luan's loyalty to His Royal Highness exceed that of Han Rong? ”
Xu Shize's words were heart-wrenching, beating in Tian Xu's heart like a morning bell and a dusk drum, and Tian Xu thought of what Fu Xuan had said, "Focus on the overall situation now, and talk about this matter later!" A hint of murder flashed in his eyes.
Tian Xu finally made up his mind, and he muttered, "Then what should I do now?" He has military power in his hands, and I am afraid that if he makes the slightest move, he will strike first. ”
Xu Shi had already had a case, and said unhurriedly: "The prince can take out wine and meat to reward the three armies tonight, let the generals get drunk, and then clean them up one by one, as for Fu Lan and Zhao Lun, when the three armies are rewarded, invite them to come to the palace to discuss the military situation, and then kill them in the palace, together with their personal soldiers and entourage, so that nothing goes wrong!" ”
Tian Xu nodded slowly, this plan is really good!
..........
In the evening of the same day, Tian Xu took out a large amount of wine and meat to reward the soldiers, and tens of thousands of soldiers were overjoyed, eating meat and drinking happily.
The two veterans, Fu Luan, the chief general, and Zhao Lun, the logistics general, came to the palace of the king of Wei, and the king of Wei asked the two of them to discuss the military situation and clarify the personnel arrangements and troop deployment for the next step.
The two of them didn't feel the difference, this is indeed a problem they urgently need to solve, once Zhu Jun retreats, Guo Song's Jin army will inevitably go south, and their next defense will be against the Jin army.
The two of them each brought more than a dozen personal guards to the Wei Palace, and Tian Xu's personal soldier Li Ying was already waiting for the two of them at the gate of the mansion.
Fu Xuan turned over and dismounted and asked, "Is the Hu military division here?" ”
"I'm already here, I'm discussing the military situation with the prince in the middle hall, and I'm waiting for the two generals."
Fu Xuan nodded, turned back to the pro-soldier and said, "Just wait outside!" ”
Li Ying hurriedly smiled and said, "Today, the palace is also rewarding the sergeants, and the prince has also arranged for them to dine together, let the brothers in!" ”
Fu Xuan thought about it and agreed, "Then let's go and eat casually." ”
Fu Lan and Zhao Lun entered the palace with a group of personal soldiers, and Li Ying smiled and said: "I'll take my brothers to dinner, the prince is waiting in the middle hall, the two old generals please!" ”
Fu Lan and Zhao Lun are very familiar with the palace, they walked directly through the gate of the atrium and walked towards the central hall, but when they walked into the courtyard, both of them were stunned, the middle hall was dark, where was the prince waiting for them?
The two looked at each other, not knowing what it meant?
At this moment, a scream faintly came, "Not good! Fu Lan and Zhao Lun suddenly woke up to the fact that they had been tricked.
The two of them pulled out their swords at the same time and rushed out, at this time, the door of the atrium was slammed shut, on the eaves, under the corridor, and in the rooms on both sides, a large number of black-clothed people appeared, there were more than 1,000 people, they held crossbows, and fired arrows at the two together, the arrows were like rain, and the poor two veterans were loyal to the Wei State, and they did not die under the enemy's arrows, but they were shot into hedgehogs by their own people, and the two were killed immediately.
