Wu Tai was a little disappointed when he heard Cai Dao's words, he wanted to say something, but he held back, took the letter and left.

As a result, as soon as Wu Tai left, Cai Dao said to Cai Rao: "Send someone to keep an eye on Wu Tai, tell me clearly who he has contacted and what he has done!" ”

Cai Rao hurriedly nodded and went down to arrange this matter.

At this time, the officials who were hiding came out one after another, and an official named Liang Li asked Wu Tai about the origin. Cai Dao took a deep breath, and then said: "What Cai Dao brought was Xue Liang's letter, in which he asked me to help Zhang Shumo get rid of Zhang Yu!" ”

Everyone was puzzled and asked, "Why did the lord refuse this?" ”

Cai Dao narrowed his eyes: "The grass is too deep, don't scatter eagles if you don't see rabbits!" ”

Soon, the news of Zhang Lu's death reached Jiyuan City, although Zhang Shumo already knew that his father was more than lucky, but he couldn't help but burst into tears after hearing the real news.

After learning the news, Zhang Shumo immediately anxious about his subordinates to discuss the matter of participating in Zhang Lu's funeral.

"I think everyone knows, I have to go to my father's funeral, everyone should figure out a way for me."

"Childe, the news of Lord Zhang's death came in the form of an eight-hundred-mile expeditious, the purpose is to let you know the news as soon as possible, and then rush to Qinyang City, at this time Zhang Yu's conspiracy!" Zhang Gui couldn't help but say.

Chen Lin shook his head: "No, this is Yangmou!" If Gongzi does not go back, he will be unfilial, and Zhang Yu will definitely take the opportunity to ruin Gongzi's reputation at that time. ”

Xue Liang also nodded and said, "That's right! I still have to go back, but Gongzi needs to bring more people and horses, not directly attack Qinyang City and take Zhang Yu, I am willing to testify for Gongzi at that time. ”

When everyone heard Xue Liang's words, they couldn't help but say to Zhang Shumo together: "Childe, let's fight back!" ”

Zhang Shumo scratched his head after hearing this: "I will definitely let Zhang Yu pay for his blood debts, but the war in the south is not over, and launching a large-scale civil war will only lead to internal friction, and finally let Zheng Guo have a chance to take advantage of it." ”

Everyone fell silent when they heard this, Zhang Shumo thought for a long time, and suddenly asked Pang Yuan: "General Pang, I don't know how many people and horses are still in General Jiao Qiang's hands?" ”

"During this time, General Jiao was also actively recruiting troops, and the number of people has reached 80,000." Pang Yuan said.

Zhang Shumo narrowed his eyes, and then said: "Jiang Bin, you immediately set off to return to the northwest now, let General Jiao gather five thousand cavalry and hand them over to Zhang Yan, and let Zhang Yan lead his troops to Qinyang City quickly, and he will definitely arrive within seven days." ”

"Yes!" Jiang Bin was ordered to leave immediately.

When Chen Lin heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Childe wants to launch a sneak attack on Qinyang City?" ”

Zhang Shumo shook his head: "Zhang Yu deliberately set his father's funeral seven days later, the purpose was not to let me take the army there. It will take at least ten days to arrive in Qinyang with a large army, so if I want to catch up with my father's funeral, I can only bring some cavalry with me. ”

Xue Liang hurriedly said: "There are not many troops in Qinyang City, counting the tiger ben in Wu Yu's hands, there are no more than 20,000 at most. General Pang Yuan has 10,000 martial arts iron cavalry in his hands, plus the 5,000 cavalry that Gongzi has just borrowed, he should have the strength to fight! ”

Zhang Shumo nodded, then looked at the east: "No matter what, I can't wait!" Pang Yuan and Zhang Gui listened to the order, and immediately hurried to repair the iron horse, and we set off for Qinyang City overnight. ”

After speaking, Zhang Shumo looked at Chen Lin and Cai Zhi again: "Trouble the two gentlemen to leave early tomorrow morning to return to the northwest." If I go and don't return this time, then Zhang Yu will definitely make a move on the northwest as soon as possible, Zaiying is still in the northwest, and he can't let him succeed if he says anything. When the time comes, the two gentlemen and General Jiao Qiang will be bothered to take care of Zaiying. ”

When Chen Lin heard this, he couldn't help but hug Zhang Shumo's two arms: "Son, you must come back safely!" ”

Zhang Shumo nodded and looked at Xue Liang and Li Mo again: "Two adults, Jiyuan County will be handed over to you for the time being!" ”

Xue and Li hadn't spoken yet, and Liu on the side naturally couldn't stand it: "You go to Qinyang once, and what you say is like your last words, don't worry, as long as I am here, I won't let others touch a single hair of you, or my master's face will be lost by me." ”

Zhang Shumo couldn't help but smile slightly: "Okay! I won't say much nonsense, without further ado, everyone prepare immediately, and let's leave for Qinyang City when it's ugly tonight! ”

At the same time, Zhang Yu in Qinyang City was also making all preparations.

Zhang Yu sat on the dragon chair, listened to an official's report, and stood up suddenly: "You said that there is still a connection between Wutai and Xue Liang?" ”

"It's a little uncertain, but Cai Dao did say so, then Wu Tai and Zhang Shumo are old acquaintances, and now Xue Liang has also fled to Zhang Shumo's side, and it is possible for Wu Tai to send a letter to him! Fortunately, Cai Dao did not agree, but Cai Dao was very dissatisfied with Gongzi, and said that he would definitely overthrow Gongzi if he had the opportunity. "It was none other than Liang Li, who was in Cai Yu's house today!

Zhang Yu snorted coldly and sat down slowly: "Cai Dao, is this wise or confused?" He also knew that he was too old to toss anymore, but why did he target me? In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless! It's just the right time to take this opportunity to eradicate the people who are dissatisfied with me in Kyochu! ”

After speaking, Zhang Yu summoned all his henchmen over and told everyone about it.

Wu Ang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Cai Dao, that old thing, even if he takes refuge in Zhang Shumo, what about it?" Although Cai Dao has some prestige in the court, he has no soldiers among them, so he can't make a climate. ”

Wu Yu immediately snorted coldly: "What do you juniors know!" Cai Dao was a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and all the officials in Beijing looked up to him. If you rashly attack Cai Dao, I am afraid that most of the officials in Beijing will be rebellious, and when Zhang Shumo raises his arms again, most of those officials will take refuge under him! ”

Xu Yi hurriedly chimed in: "Lord Wuyu's words are right, so if you want to deal with Cai Dao, you must have conclusive evidence. However, what Wu Ang Gongzi said is right, Cai Dao only has 2,000 private soldiers in his hands, and as long as a team of people is arranged to watch the Cai family, it will be fine. ”

Zhang Yu nodded: "Okay!" In that case, let's take a trick! Didn't Zhang Shumo want to find someone to serve him in the city? Since Cai Wei didn't agree, it was better to let Liang Li go to Wu Tai to take the initiative to deal with this matter, and then he would be able to come up with Zhang Shumo's plan! ”。

When Wu Lei heard this, he was worried that Wu Tai would say that he would say it himself, so he hurriedly said: "Childe, this Wu Tai is very cunning, if Liang Li takes the initiative to find him, I am afraid it will arouse his suspicions, why don't you let him try?" ”

Zhang Yu frowned, and then said, "No need. Liang Li only said that he got the news from Cai Dao, and Wu Tai should not doubt it. Instead, if you go to Wu Tai, he will definitely not believe it! The general should do his best to prepare for battle. ”
