After sending Zhu Yuanying away, Zhu Zhi came to visit and asked how he considered the matter of Qinzhou's assassination, Xu You smiled and said: "I was about to invite the fourth uncle to come over to discuss, this is Yu Teng's note to the imperial court, I ordered someone to copy and engrave a copy, you see, if you have any ideas, you can tell me directly!" ”

Zhu Zhi took it, just looking at the title, he felt bad in his heart, and read softly: ""For the Imperial Court to Divide Qin Liang and Two Prefectures" ......" opened it, and the content was to ask the imperial court to divide the six states of Xiliang into Qinzhou and Liangzhou, and the reason was sprinkled, not only well-organized, but also very convincing.

After a long time, Zhu Zhi put down the song, gently rubbed his temples, and said, "What does Qilang think?" ”

Xu You smiled bitterly: "The fourth uncle also knows that there are people installed by various forces in the General's Mansion, Yu Teng is Yu Hao's own nephew, and his letter is not approved by me, and whether this is his personal political opinion, or is it instructed by the Yu family, Lu Bozhi is still investigating." To divide Xiliang into two states, the stakes are very important, and all the zaifu in Taiwan Province must still discuss, the fourth uncle should not be in a hurry, wait for the will of the imperial court......"

Zhu Zhi was silent, Xu You also stopped and didn't speak again, and the atmosphere in the room fell into an inexplicable embarrassment. Suspicion is a thousand-year-old orchid that grows in the desert, as long as a little wind and rain can survive greedily and stubbornly, it is inexhaustible and destroyed!

I don't know how long it took, Zhu Zhi sighed and said: "Xie Xiwen took the knife sent by Yu Teng, and just happened to use it against Xiliang, and the eyes of the princes of Taiwan Province were always staring at the three feet in front of them, and they couldn't see the scenery far away from the mountains and rivers. I think, there is no need to wait, the imperial court will allow Yu Teng's recital, as a courtier, he should act according to his orders, but Qilang," he paused, stood up, his eyes were deep and calm, and said: "The history of Qinzhou assassination is my last bottom line!" ”

After being fooled like this, he did not abandon his official position in anger, did not want to return to Beijing to take up his post, and still insisted on being the assassin of Qinzhou, even if the current Qinzhou was no longer the Qinzhou in his calculations......

Why, exactly?

Xu You groaned: "It's just that I wronged the fourth uncle......"

Zhu Zhi smiled and said, "It's just for the country, death is not afraid, what is the grievance?" ”

Xu You also laughed and said, "Yes, it's just for the country!" ”

Looking at the back of Zhu Zhi leaving, I know that the honeymoon period between the two since they met has completely ended, and there has been a deep estrangement between them, and it is impossible to trust each other as much as before.

This is something that Xu You can't control, although he misses the old love, but he can't accompany Zhu Zhi to stand on the edge of the cliff and dance, Guanzhong 800 miles of Qinchuan, may be Zhu Zhi's lifelong goal, but for Xu You, this is just a post station on the way, it is a short stop, his end point is north of the Yellow River, north of Pingcheng, and north of Yinshan.

To the north, to the north!

The roots of the Han people have been dug up by Rong Di for too long, so long that even the Han people in the north have forgotten the blood flowing in their bodies, Xu You has no time to be false and wronged with those who have different aspirations, and if they are on the same path, they will do goodbye!

I just hope that this difference will not become the difference between life and death when swords and soldiers meet!

He Wei walked in from the side room at the back and said: "Since I have made it clear to Zhu Zhi, I think it will be written by the General's Mansion, asking Zhu Rui to quickly lead the troops back to Chang'an, and no longer be allowed to wander around the county to eat!" If you don't shirk the blame, you miss the time, and military law will be engaged! ”

Zhu Rui led the white horse to ride out of the Meridian Road, saying that it was an attack on the rear of Xiliangda, and it did turn the land of several counties upside down, but it did not play a very important role in the war situation in the direction of Chang'an. After all, Xiliang's male soldiers gathered in Chang'an, and the grain and grass also filled Taicang, so there was no need to transfer troops and grain from other places.

After conquering Chang'an, Tan Zhuo asked Zhu Zhi about the location of Zhu Ruijun as the Sima of the General's Mansion, and asked him to return to the team as soon as possible.

This is the part that Zhu Zhi absolutely controls, and it is outside the command system of the Great General's Mansion, which is an inexplicable variable. He Wei's meaning is very clear, it was to give Zhu Zhi face before, but now the face is torn apart, so he simply ordered Zhu Rui to return to his teacher, and if he did not obey the law, he had to at least nip this variable in the bud, and then kill the chickens and monkeys, and let Zhu Zhi think carefully about the pros and cons.

Xu You is also a little strange, according to the intelligence of the secret mansion, Zhu Rui's white horse iron horse should be between Longdong County and Pingyuan County in the northwest at this time, it is said that Zhu Rui has no reason to stay and not return, there must be a demon when something goes wrong, nodded and said slightly tiredly: "Let Tan Zhuo negotiate with Zhu Zhi, within seven days, I will see Zhu Rui, by the way, there is also a white horse iron horse!" ”

Anding County, the seat of governance is in Gaoping County (now Ningxia Guyuan, not Gaoping, Shanxi), and the southeast of the county is the famous Xiaoguan. Xiaoguan relies on the Jinghe valley and built, the mountain is steep, the scenery is beautiful, according to the shoulders of the eight counties, the key to the three towns, for thousands of years, witnessed countless white bones and tears.

Wen Ziyu was in front of the Ma Pass, his green robe was splendid, his eyes were like stars, and he whispered: "The road back to the middle is dangerous, and there are many beacons in Xiao Pass." Wuying Tun Beidi, ten thousand out of the West River...... Moon marks, you see, this is the poem called the beacons, they are built in a high place, in the form of a character, can not only echo with the Guannei, but also overlook the Jinghe River Valley, inside and outside the five miles of radius, in full view. How can such a dangerous hurdle be broken? ”

"It's hard to break through, it's easy to break people's hearts!" Yueji pursed his lips and smiled: "Lang Jun has forgotten that Xiao Guanshou General Hu Jia has collected nearly one million dollars from the Stygian Butterfly Division, and even the most favored concubine around him is also the silk butterfly ...... placed by the Stygian Butterfly Division."

"Oh, yes, the Winter Solstice Master who just handed over the Stygian Butterfly Division to the Secret Mansion that is very difficult to deal with, has forgotten such an important matter." Wen Ziyou laughed, slammed the horse's belly, and said, "Let's go, enter the customs!" ”

From Xiao Guan to Gaoping, the frustrated Qu Qiangui, who had already received the news, returned to welcome out of the gate of the public mansion, knelt on his knees, and said: "I don't know that the general of the army is coming, I have missed the distance, and I am guilty of capital crime!" ”

Fuqu Qiangui is the fifth son of Fuqu Wugu, and the only son who is alive, Lu Shuihu is doing a business on horseback to beg for a living, dead people are just ordinary things, Fuqu Wugu has seven sons, two did not grow up, four died in battle, only five sons survived wave after wave of war, and became his most trusted and most important successor.

This time, Fuqu Wugu took 20,000 cavalry to Chang'an, and gave Fuqu Qiangui 3,000 men and horses to guard the stable village, Wen Ziyou helped him up, and said in a low voice: "Dismiss irrelevant people, find a hidden place, I have something to say to you!" ”

Fuqu Qiangui was stunned, waved his hand to several personal soldiers around him, and hurriedly led Wen Ziyou to the mansion, came to a secret room in the backyard, and asked, "Military advisor, what's wrong?" Is my father good in Chang'an? Some time ago, he wrote to say that the military advisor had also returned to Da Chu, and he had drunk and talked with him many times, and he was very compatible, so that I could serve him as an uncle's courtesy. ”

Wen Ziyou took out the jasper purple gold knife from his arms, solemnly handed it over to Fuqu Qiangui, and said: "Xu You is pretending to be benevolent and false, he deceived us, he can't trust the ministers of the Liang State at all, Zhang Ye Gong has been arrested by the secret mansion, and 20,000 Lu Shuihu also let the mountain sect lead the mountain sect to the valley outside the city to be slaughtered, I am fortunate that the Stygian Butterfly Division has found out the information in time, so I got away with it, but unfortunately I didn't rescue Zhang Ye Gong." However, on the night of the incident, he ordered the dead to break out of the siege and bring me this knife, saying that it was a token, and you see the knife as if you saw your father's face......"

Frustrated Qu Qiangui was furious, stroked the treasure knife in his hand, his eyes were about to split, and he roared: "Xu Youxiao'er, how dare you do this, deceive me Lu Shuihu and no one? ”

"Rabbits and dead dogs cook, not to mention the difference between Hu and Han?" Wen Ziyou struck while the iron was hot, and said: "Zhang Yegong asked me to tell you that you should immediately raise troops to rebel, divide and settle down, the bigger the noise, the safer he will be in Chang'an, if he can defeat the Chu army who came to conquer according to the danger of Xiao Pass, his life will be saved!" ”

"Huh? Why is that?" Fuqu Qiangui learned the martial arts of the Hu people, but he did not learn the cunning of his father, and looked at Wen Ziyou with a blank eye and asked him for advice.

"Why Xu You is doing it now is because he feels that Chang'an has gradually stabilized, and he no longer needs us, the subordinates of the Liang Kingdom, to help him buy people's hearts, but if he is released to the place, he is afraid that he will suffer from it, so he imprisoned Zhang Ye Gong and slaughtered Lu Shuihu, in order to prevent future troubles forever. However, you still have 3,000 soldiers and horses in Anding County, the Fuqu clan is deeply rooted, deeply loved by the people, and Xiaoguan is a barrier, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the reason why Xu You did not kill Zhang Ye Gong is to keep it just in case, as long as you set off a momentum and defeat the Chu army again, he will inevitably invite Zhang Ye Gong to surrender you......"

"Phew! it! Frustrated Qu Qiangui scolded: "I went to Nanban once, but I didn't succeed the second time?" ”

"You can't definitely descend, but you can slowly negotiate the conditions with Xu You, the more stable you are, will the other counties be willing to be ridden on the head by the southerners? I just need to let the Stygian Butterfly Division lobby around, at least I can attract seven or eight more counties to raise troops together, the more chaotic the situation, the more anxious Xu You is, and then I can find a way to save Zhang Yegong back......"

Wen Ziyou's mouth has the advantage of Su Qin and Zhang Yi, frustrated Qu Qiangui held the treasure knife in his hand, paced back and forth in the secret room, tossed and turned more than ten times, his lips were bitten out of blood, but he didn't realize it, thinking about it, only Wen Ziyou pointed to this road, stopped suddenly, and said: "Military advisor, it's not that I can't believe you, it's a big matter, I'll send someone to Chang'an to investigate, if my father is really arrested, I will immediately raise troops against him!" ”

"It's too late!" Wen Ziyou said helplessly: "Zhu Rui has already led troops to arrest you, it is estimated that you will be able to arrive at Xiao Pass in two hours, if you don't rebel, he will ask to enter the customs for repairs on the grounds of the general's order, will you let it go?" ”

"What? Zhu Rui? Isn't his white horse and iron horse still eating in Longdong County? ”

Wen Ziyou shook his head and said, "That's deceiving you!" The white horse iron horse should have passed the Wushi last night and arrived at the foot of Fanting Mountain, calculate the leg strength, and it should be here today! ”

Frustrated Qu Qiangui rushed out of the secret room and said loudly: "Come on, let Hu Jia retreat, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave." Send scouts again, and quickly find out that there are cavalry coming in the direction of Fanting Mountain! ”

An hour later, the scouts reported that sure enough, there were more than a thousand iron horsemen sneakily coming to Gaoping, taking more paths and hidden places, if it weren't for the scouts being careful, they almost missed it.

"Good thief! Good thief! Xu You, I'll join your mother! ”

Frustrated Qu Qiangui no longer had any doubts, and immediately ordered people to set up a platform to erect a flag, cut off the sheep's head and swear, and raised an army to rebel under the name of recovering the Liang country. At the same time, he accepted Wen Ziyou's suggestion and sent a messenger to send Xu Yuwen to Chang'an, so that Xu You would not dare to move the frustration of Wugu.

"I think the general still goes to Xiaoguan to sit in the town, Zhu Rui's white horse iron cavalry is the most powerful cavalry in the Chu army system, as long as it is defeated, it will greatly deter Xu You."

"Good! Listen to the military advisor! "Fuqu Qiangui fought bravely, and was not afraid of fighting, and when he heard that the words were exactly what he wanted, he immediately entrusted Gaoping City to Wen Ziyu to guard, and brought a thousand cavalry to Xiaoguan for reinforcements.

In the afternoon, the sun is dazzling, the deafening sound of horses' hooves comes from the distant horizon, and the white horses in white armor, wearing red tassels, are in the exhibition of the vermilion flag, such as white practice monstrous, surging.
