Chapter 476: Suspicious

It is said that Chen Long and the others were trapped in the underground mausoleum under the palace, and their hearts were extremely heavy when they saw the mysterious army under the black pressure carnival in the square under the palace not far away. Chen Long thought to himself, it was not too late to make amends, and ordered people to quickly return to the city along the tunnel to inform Zhuge Liang and others of the existence of this army, do a good job in the defense of the gates of Chang'an, especially the north gate, and make all preparations for battle.

Chen Long continued to stay in the mausoleum to investigate, secretly observing the situation from the hole smashed open by the thieves. In the flames of a bonfire, shining on several sparse and fallen halls, the eaves are phantom like a ghost domain, but under the arch of the cornices are a group of demons dancing. In one of the large halls, the cleaning was not clean, but there was a makeshift military bed, next to the brazier brought a strong warm spring feeling, a person on the bed was naked, and the strong chest muscles reflected the firelight, which was pressing on a white sheep-like woman to vent. This person is none other than Li Dao, the northwest marshal who was swept away from Chang'an by Chen Long's Qinglong Army in the past.

At the same time, suddenly the copper nails of the door made a loud noise, and Li Wei suddenly let out a sigh of relief, lying motionless on the woman's body. I only heard a shout outside the door: "Marshal, the military situation is urgent, I, Li Ru, have come in!" ”

When Li Ru heard that it was Li Ru, he couldn't help but be angry, and he snorted and was about to get up, but Li Ru had already kicked open the door with a bang, and the sound of footsteps sounded, and he was already approaching. Li Dao was wearing half pants and scolded his mother loudly: "Wen You, what kind of bullshit military information?" Has the emperor arrived? ”

Li Dao was quite jealous of this military division, Li Ru and Li Wenyou. thinks that Li Ru was Dong Zhuo's confidant back then, and his official position was above Li Dao and Guo Yan, Dong Zhuo could be described as obedient to Li Ru, and had the power of life, death, appointment and dismissal. Moreover, Li Ru is extremely intelligent, ruthless, and looks like a scholar, but he does things by unscrupulous means, which makes people shudder. After Dong Zhuo Luoyang was destroyed, he Li Ru was able to escape in hiding, which shows his high ability to hide. After going around and around, Li Ru finally found the troops of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and after Jia Xu, he deigned to become the army division of Li Dao and Guo Yan's Northwest Army. Relying on Li Ru's intelligence, Li Dao and Guo Yan lived a fairly good life, not only gaining a firm foothold between the Gobi Desert and the prairie in the northwest, but also having a small scale of grain and livestock production in addition to plundering the towns and towns for food, which was all related to Li Ru's internal affairs ability, and prevented this group of northwest soldiers from becoming a northwest beggar gang or a blind stream.

Recently, Li Ru actually got in touch with the current saint again, and actually got the emperor's official appointment of Li Dao and Guo Yan, on the condition that he lead the troops to Chang'an to Qinhuang to confront and sweep away the Qinglong Army forces in Chang'an, which is really a big pie in the sky. Li Dao and Guo Yan rose up proudly, and with the only remaining 30,000 elite Xiliang cavalry, they rushed from the Hetao area, and just arrived at the abandoned Qiqi Palace today to spend the night.

Li Ru saw that Li Dao was wearing pants and was about to speak up, when he suddenly heard a grunt behind him, it turned out to be Guo Yan Seeing the beautiful woman with white flowers on the bed, he couldn't help but swallow a big mouthful. Li Ru was angry in his heart, and couldn't help but roll his eyes, the generals he assisted, what kind of rotten people are these!

Li Wei laughed out loud and said, "General Yang Lie likes it, just take it away!" It turned out that the emperor's edict this time named Li Dao as General Yangwu and Guo Yan as General Yanglie to be in charge of the military in the northwest.

Guo Yan suddenly remembered that when Li Wei was here* just now, he was staying up all night to reconnoiter on a war horse that was extremely bumpy in the dark night, and at this time, his words sounded like cool words, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Li Ru knew that Li Dao and Guo Yan had a disagreement, and it was not easy to reconcile, but it was far from being as united as they were under Dong Zhuo back then. After the defeat of the Northwest Army Chang'an, the remnants of the army entered the Hetao area, and the resources were quite scarce. Li Dao and others are vying for power and profit, and the contradictions are becoming more and more intense. Li Wei often held a banquet at his house to invite Guo Yan, and sometimes left Guo Yan to stay at his own home. Guo Yan's wife was afraid that Li Wei would send a concubine to Guo Yan and take away her love, so she wanted to provoke their relationship. Once, Li Wei sent wine and food to Guo Yan, Guo Yan's wife said that the tempeh in the dish was poison, and before Guo Yan ate it, Guo Wei's wife picked out the black bean sauce to show Guo Yan, and said a lot of bad things about Li Wei, which made Guo Yan suspicious. A few days later, Li Wei invited Guo Yan to a banquet again, and drunk Guo Yan, Guo Yan suspected that Li Wei wanted to poison him, so he quickly drank feces to induce vomiting and relieve hangover. So they turned against each other, led their troops to attack, fought for months, and killed tens of thousands.

Until Li Ru arrived, he persuaded Li Dao and Guo Yan to negotiate peace, and wanted to exchange their sons as hostages, but Li Dao's wife loved her son very much and was unwilling to exchange, and the peace plan was undecided. After Li Wei finally agreed to exchange their daughters as hostages, the two sides were able to reconcile, Guo Yan nominally respected Li Dao as the commander of the Northwest Army, himself as the deputy marshal, Li Ru as the army division, and stationed troops in the area of Sanfeng County and Woye County in Shuofang County, and agreed to conspire with the world.

After a few people exchanged a few white glances, their eyes finally moved away from the woman, Li Ru narrowed his eyes and said: "I have been in contact with Situ Wang Yun, and the envoys all entered and exited from the west gate, avoiding the north gate guarded by Xun You of the Qinglong Army. Yesterday, I asked the envoy to pass the news of our army's arrival in the area of the palace into Kyoto, but the messenger just rushed back, but said that the city gate was not opened during the day and could not enter, and I heard the people in the suburbs next to me say that there seemed to be an army in and out of the dispatch, and last night there was a sound of shouting and killing, Chang'an is afraid of an incident! ”

Although Li Dao is a reckless man, he has been a commander for a long time, how can he have no military common sense, and after hearing this, he was surprised: "Could it be that the Qinglong Army is going to rebel?" ”

When Guo Yan heard this, he was also shocked: "Just now I personally led people to reconnoiter near the north gate, which was the focus of our army's promise of Wang Yun's on-time attack. But I saw that there were also troops in and out of the north gate, and there was a fence outside the city, I don't know how many soldiers, it seemed that there was a military alert, so I hurried back to report, could it be that Wang Yun leaked the news, so that the Qinglong Army launched a counterattack in advance? ”

Li Ru's thin eyebrows were locked, and it was very likely that Li Dao and Guo Yan said it, but the details were unknown. Li Ru pondered and said, "If the Qinglong Army wants to rebel, why wait until today? Moreover, Chen Long has always had a good relationship with the Empress Dowager He, and I heard that there is still a secret adultery, Chang'an is protected by the Qinglong Army on the surface, how could he suddenly use troops against the emperor? Doesn't this give the world a handle? I look at Chen Long, this person, I will not be so unwise. Moreover, Wang Yun's conspiracy against the Qinglong Army was all secret contact, and the people employed were all his son Wang Gai and other cronies, but I don't know how it was leaked? It seems that something must have gone wrong. ”

Li Wei hesitated when he heard this: "Commander, in that case, what should we do?" Guo Yan said: "Since Chang'an has changed, if we want to act safely, we had better return the same way so that we don't stand under the dangerous wall." ”

Li Ru nodded slightly, if you talk about the cautious use of troops, Guo Yan's approach is a prudent plan. Although nothing was achieved on this march, it was only the loss of some military rations. However, this time it was a golden opportunity to become the secretary of the court, so could he give it up so easily?

Obviously, Li Dao also thought of this problem, and said with an itch: "Military advisor, it's just some clues, is it possible to give up the imperial court edict and turn back?" Those who know say that we are cautious in using soldiers, and those who don't know say that we are suspicious, and saying it makes people laugh to death, and I am afraid that the world will laugh at it. ”

Li Ru shook his head and said: "The strength of the army has been preserved, as long as the emperor still wants to turn over, the edict will come again." It's just that we don't know what happened in Chang'an, and whether it is dangerous for the army to be stationed here. But it's a pity to give up, it's better to prepare for both, so that it is suitable for both advances and retreats. ”

Li Wei nodded and asked, "The military advisor is resourceful, but there is a good strategy?" ”
