In the summer of Shudi, there is a restless atmosphere in the smoked wind.

The sky was already dark, and there was no light in the Wu courtyard outside the city, but I saw three tall, short, fat and thin figures standing or sitting in the courtyard, or still or moving.

And after a long time, one of the people who had been standing stiff for a long time finally spoke, but it was Chen Liuwu Yi, who was said to have a noble sister, "Since I have been found on the door, why don't I want to come from the north?" ”

Zhang Ziqiao, who was short in stature, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

To tell the truth, Zhang Song was really frightened by Xu Shu just now, and when the two came to Wu Yi's house, they immediately aroused the latter's vigilance, because Zhang Song's hatred for Dongzhou Shi was undoubted, but since he visited, it was not good to take the liberty of driving away the guests. However, the two sides were reluctant to salute each other, and came to the courtyard together, and before they could sit down in the dormitory, Xu Yuanzhi suddenly grabbed Wu Yi's side with his sword, and got straight to the point, asking if the other party was willing to respond to the north.

That's what Wu Yi said just now.

Zhang Ziqiao was almost sure in his heart that if Wu Yi didn't agree just now, then the next moment Xu Yuanzhi would go in with a white knife and come out with a red knife.

Of course, after coming back to his senses, Zhang Song also woke up a little in his heart, that is, Wu Yi clearly knew his political position and noticed Xu Yuanzhi's accent, but he still introduced the two of himself into the house at such a sensitive time, which was actually a sign of vacillation.

At this time, Xu Shu's single knife seems to be reckless, but in fact, he saves some tongue with a coercive attitude...... At this moment, Zhang Song admired Xu Shu even more.

Since the two sides reached an agreement, they did not enter the house, but spread a mat in the courtyard, and then drove away the family members and servants, and directly discussed major matters.

said that it was a discussion, but in fact, Wu Yi said the information from the perspective of Dongzhou Shi, and then listened to Xu Shu's opinion.

"In this way, although I have been out of office for most of the time, and I have no money, food, and power, let alone military power, there are still four or five hundred henchmen in the military camp in the city who will listen to your command, and I will never doubt it." After listening to the introduction, Xu Yuanzhi did not rush to make a conclusion, but was a little surprised by one of the things. "Why is that?"

Zhang Song and Wu Yi looked at each other, but Zhang Song opened his mouth to explain slightly, "Because those soldiers and horses are all old and vassals of their own clan of their Wu clan, the so-called trilogy and the like, which are originally attached to the Wu clan to Shu." And now, although General Wu has left his post, Liu Yan still regards Wu Ban, the younger brother of General Wu, as the Sima of other departments, and continues to have the old Wu family...... These people, whose net worth and lives belong to the Wu family, naturally have to listen to General Wu's first. ”

Xu Shu suddenly thought for a while: "Here in Shudi, it is only four or five thousand Mianzhu City, and the defenders of Mianzhu City are actually the big clan tribal system?" ”

Wu Yi and Zhang Song looked at each other more and more, but they didn't say anything.

Because they vaguely have a strange emotion that is inexplicable, but obviously mixed with unease...... Listening to Xu Yuanzhi's words, you can know that Mo said Yan Guo, I am afraid that Cao Cao and Liu Bei had before, and the military system under the so-called comprehensive personal dependency system was already rare.

This not only means that they will need to adapt to Yan in the future, but what is even more terrifying is that Shu has only been closed for eight or nine years, and they have a sense of absurdity abandoned by the times.

And just in a trance of a son of the Shu clan and a powerful leader in exile, Xu Shu, who had also been silent for a while, suddenly laughed, "In this case, I have a comprehensive plan, and I may not have to do five steps of blood spare...... As the saying goes, if you can stab the country, why do you need to stab people? Wouldn't you put the cart before the horse? ”

The other two became more and more solemn, and Zhang Song was even more puzzled for a while, and took the initiative to ask, "Please Xu Jun make it clear." ”

"Why do you have to say it explicitly?" Xu Shu looked at each other and smiled. "Since Ziqiao is doing this, he is gambling his net worth and life, right?"

"It's nature."

"In this case, it is nothing more than a struggle, if you can trust me, just listen to my command, why bother asking?" Xu Shu is still calm. "As the saying goes, stabbing the country is like stabbing people, find the key point, don't do superfluous things, just stab hard, what about anything else?"

Zhang Song was sweating profusely, wanting to speak and stopping, but in the end he was heavily bowed.

In comparison, it may be because he led the army, or it may be because he witnessed his father's participation in the turmoil when he was in Luoyang, but Wu Yi is obviously much calmer, and after a little thought, he also calmly said, "As Xu Jun said, the matter has come to this point, it is nothing more than the life of the family, and Yi is willing to take a step." ”

"In addition to the three of us, there is actually one important person missing." Seeing this, Xu Shu continued to speak calmly. "But you don't necessarily need to let him know what happened...... Don't hide it from the two of you, in my plan, no matter what, I want to separate the Liu family and his son, and it is best to let Liu Fan stay away from Mianzhu at that time, do you know who can persuade Liu Fan to leave the city for a while? ”

Under the smoky wind of the summer night, in the glimmer of the Milky Way, Zhang Song and Wu Yi looked at each other again, but they said in unison, "This matter is simple!" ”

Xu Shu was stunned.

Of course, the matter is simple, only three days later, Liu Fan was personally summoned by his father, but the latter asked his eldest son to go to the north of the city on the second day, and fasted and bathed in the sacrificial place in the north of the city for three days, in order to pray for the war on the north and south fronts, and it can be regarded as making up for the regret that the last sacrifice was not successful.

Liu Fan promised to do so, but after coming out of the Texas Pastoral Mansion, he did not prepare directly after returning to his county guard's mansion, but waited a little.

And sure enough, after a while, Pang Xi took the initiative to report it...... It turned out that this matter was done by Wu Yi, the brother-in-law of his third brother Liu Mao, who took out his family funds and bribed a group of wizards and monks in his father's mansion, and asked these monks to speak on his behalf, and promoted this sacrifice with the theory of blessing and misfortune.

As a result, since Liu Mao lost power, this group of monks were all snobs, and after using Liu Yan's own knot that could not be achieved in the last sacrifice to promote the matter of compensating for the sacrifice, he did not recommend Liu Mao to replace his father with his son, but divided into two factions, one group recommended Liu Yan's second son Liu Dan, and the other group recommended Liu Fan.

In the end, in the end, Liu Fan has become such a climate, and there are inevitably fewer people who burn Liu Dan's cold stove, which has become today's result.

And after understanding the whole story, Liu Fan no longer had doubts...... After all, the sacrifice of the son instead of his father in this year has great political significance in itself, and now the war between the north and the south is in a stalemate, Liu Fan's previous plan to let his father go to Shu was extinguished by his own father, and he also has the heart to do something.

What's more important is that Liu Yan is now old and stubborn, since he has been told by the monks, it is just a sacrificial matter, and it must not be changed, if he Liu Fan does not go, I am afraid that Liu Dan and Liu Mao will really seize the opportunity.

So, on the morning of the second day, Liu Fan, the Taishou of Guanghan, officially went out of the city to the north, preparing to go to the north of the city to see Pixiu for three consecutive days of fasting and bathing, and then sacrifice to the Black Emperor in the north to compensate for the previous interruption of the sacrificial activities. At the same time, Liu Yan, the lord of Yizhou, showed his love and recognition for his eldest son, and he actually allocated ten luxury cars made by the Son of Heaven for the eldest son to ride.

This is truly unprecedented!

This time, no car fell apart halfway, no one blocked the road to persuade him to surrender, and there was no 'Yizhou dogs are not available'...... Anyway, in the strange eyes of some people, the lord of a county, the undoubted heir of Shu Land, left the fortified Mianzhu City so easily because of the words of a group of monks.

even took away a large number of loyal guests, subordinates, and 800 armor soldiers from Pang Xi's headquarters, so that the military camp in the city was only less than 4,000 soldiers and horses, which was inevitably a lot weaker.

There was nothing to say that night, and on the evening of the second day, that is, the night of the first day when Liu Fan officially began to fast and bathe in the north of the city, the weather became more and more smoky. And it was in this situation that Wu Yi, who is now a little down, but is still one of the leaders of the standard Dongzhou scholars, brought twenty-one warriors into the barracks calmly to meet his old tribe and clan brothers.

In the evening, the former pawn farmer invited his colleagues to come over for a drink at the location where his brother was stationed. In this regard, most of the officers in the battalion went, after all, Wu Yi was an old boss no matter what he said, and he lost power at this time...... If you go, you may be scrupled by Pang Xi, but if you don't go, you will inevitably gossip about who is a person without virtue.

So, in the end, plus those who arrived intermittently, the main officers in the battalion actually came, and they were really all Central Plains accents.

One more thing must be said here.

The so-called Dongzhou Shi is a bit of a well-dressed Nandu flavor, and it is a group of strange fugitive groups that have both worldly and powerful families, but the vast majority of them are homeless people...... On the way to escape and settle down, in order to maintain order and reduce internal friction, the lower-class refugees, who had already lost all means of production, took the initiative to attach themselves to these clans, heroes, and even ordinary virtuous people, and automatically formed a relationship of personal dependence.

This phenomenon is not only Dongzhou Shi, but also a similar phenomenon when Yingchuan and Nanyang people fled to Jingzhou, even if Gongsun Xun first collected the displaced people in Tuntian, it was essentially the same, but as an object to be attached, Gongsun Xun obviously had uniqueness and higher authority.

In all fairness, at this time, this kind of personal attachment is not to be derogatory, but should be morally praised, because it 'can live'!

However, unlike other places, after arriving in Shudi, this group of displaced people was not properly resettled, reclaimed wasteland, and was not dispersed and integrated with the locals, but started from the top, attached to Liu Yan layer by layer, and forcibly gained a foothold in Shu by means of collective robbery and occupation, forming a persistent and deep-rooted opposition model with the locals, thus evolving into a special political group.

You must know that forcibly dividing political groups within a political entity according to their place of origin and class is actually a very low-end way, and it is generally only short-lived in the early stage of the formation of a political entity...... Conversely, whether bloody or urbane, historically successful political entities have always been able to divide and absorb such opposing blocs.

For example, Gongsun Xun, as a local snake, plus the help of the Amway to collect the homeless, also caused a serious contradiction between the Turks, but after killing Xian Yufu and Yan Rou, didn't he catch up with the torrent of Dong in time? Since then, what kind of contradiction between the Turks and guests in Youzhou, in the case of Gongsun Xun's increasing power, where has it been on the table?

In fact, as Gongsun Xun fought against the Central Plains and Lianghuai, Sanfu and Hebei, who had been beaten in the Keju field in the past, had a taste of the same hatred.

However, in Shudi, here in Liu Yan, these things are so naked in front of them, unchanged.

In this situation, it is no wonder that after Gongsun Xun's soldiers pressed the border, Liu Yan would say such crazy things; It is no wonder that Pang Tong felt that Shu had no value at all; It's no wonder that Guo Jia felt that he could solve the problem of Shu by assassination; It is also no wonder that after Xu Shu came to Mianzhu, he immediately made a judgment that he could simply use the more high-end way of assassinating the country to directly take over Shu and end the war.

You have to know that if you have to find one common characteristic of these people, it is that they are either very intelligent or experienced.

"Calling you over today, in fact, there is something I want to tell you, the contemptible people want to ask Liu Yizhou to abdicate and let Mao Gongzi replace him, so that it will be better for Yizhou and for those of us who have betrayed the well." After three rounds of drinking, in the slight uproar, Wu Yi didn't even create an atmosphere, so he directly raised his voice and saw the dagger.

In other words, this trick is still used by him and Xu Shu on his side, after all, since he can come to the banquet, he can't be Liu Fan's diehard.

The barracks in the permanent barracks are not tents, but serious houses, because there are too many people, so the banquet is simply set up in the open space in front of a row of houses, at this time Wu Yi suddenly spoke, most people are a little confused, many people have a glass of wine, continue to laugh with the people next to them, and then begin to think about the meaning of this.

Then, suddenly, the commotion stopped.

And for some reason, after a long time, no one even spoke...... No one stood up and drew his sword and said, 'Is my sword not good?' in disapproval, nor did anyone applaud and say, 'I will endure the old thief for a long time,' in approval.

In this regard, Xu Shu continued to laugh out loud, but he barely suppressed his expression, and just tried to look at Wu Yi while sitting in a precarious position.

Wu Ziyuan (the same word as Xu You) understood, but he directly raised his hand and pointed to a young general "Yuanxiong" on his side...... What do you think? ”

The so-called Yuanxiong, that is, Wu Kuang's parent, Wu Yi's younger brother Wu Ban, couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "Where did my brother say, our brothers left their hometowns here, just like Zhuangzi said, it's just a matter of foaming in the mess...... I don't know why you are like this, but what you want to be, I naturally want to be, why ask me? ”

At the end of his words, he suddenly waved his hand, but he ordered a low-ranking officer beside him with a blank expression, "Jiang Junhou, don't look at it, quickly transfer your department and surround this place!" ”

When the Marqu heard this, he left, and there was a slight sensation in the banquet, but he seemed to be worried that there would be danger at this time, so no one drove away for a while.

An elderly officer was finally pushed out by everyone with tentative gazes, and then took the initiative to speak in the middle of the table, "General Wu." ”

"Li Sima." Wu Yi calmly surrendered.

"I'm sorry to be blunt." This military Sima named Li Yi is opposite. "Regardless of Liu Yizhou, below Liu Yizhou, he has his eldest son Liu Fujun as his successor, and he can't be the turn of Mao Gongzi anyway, right? Your behavior is unknown, I'm afraid it's not completely selfish, right? Why drag us to the funeral? ”

"Definitely." Wu Yi replied proudly, but pointed to Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi, who had not spoken at his side. "Before Tianzhou Mu came to this place, the son of Mao did the Yizhou affairs on behalf of this person, so how can he talk about the unknown teacher?"

The generals were stunned.

And at this moment, as the Marquis surnamed Jiang led two hundred soldiers out of the house in a hurry and returned to the periphery of the banquet, Xu Shu also suddenly got up, came directly to the open space in the banquet, and pulled out the sword at his waist in public.

Then many officers in the audience went to hold their weapons.

"This sword was given by Duke Yan himself! Xu was not talented, and only used this sword to cut the head of Zhou Gongjin, the governor of Xuzhou...... It is said that a marquis will be arranged! Xu Yuanzhi didn't care about the reaction of the others, but as he spoke, he took two steps forward and pushed the long sword to a foot in front of that Li Sima, under the torch, the sword light flowed like autumn water, then Li Sima originally wanted to look for weapons, but suddenly stopped after saying this.

Not only that, including Wu Yi, all the Dongzhou martial artists were stunned as if they had been immobilized, and they were speechless on the spot.

"I don't know where I come from?" Xu Shu looked at the other party and continued to ask slowly.

"Luoyang ......, Henan" This Li Yi was hot and dry for a while, and sweat was like rain.

"It turns out that he is a fellow villager with Pang Xi, no wonder he wants to come out." Xu Shu sighed for a while. "You can know that before the contemptible people came to participate in the destruction of Shu, Duke Yan had already asked people to start repairing the old capital of Luoyang."

"Yes, yes?"

"Fifteen from the army, eighty years to return." Xu Shu still held his sword still, but suddenly recited a famous poem. "Daofeng villagers, who is there in the family? From afar, it is the Jun family, and there are many pine and cypress mounds...... The world will be unified, and after eight or nine years away from home, have you ever thought that one day you will return to your hometown and tidy up the graves of your ancestors? ”

The full seat was still silent, and Xu Yuanzhi continued to hold his sword, only staring at Li Yi with a relaxed expression

"Please see, in the past, Yan Gong's order, across the long Shu Road, you can still pretend not to have heard it, and you can still deceive yourself, waiting to go with the flow. But now that I have come here, the current situation, I can either listen to the order of this sword, support the prince of Mao with me, and sacrifice Yizhou, or I can only use the sword to oppose this sword...... However, it is easy to kill a scribe in my life, but don't think about returning to my homeland in my lifetime! Where to go, please don't hesitate, because in order to survive, you will not hesitate. ”

The rest of the people in the banquet had already heard and watched in a daze, and this Li Yi's throat trembled more than once, but when the sword in front of him was about to move forward, he suddenly spoke, "Since the will of Duke Yan, it is natural to be obedient and disobedient, and I am willing to listen to this sword!" ”

Xu Shu retreated slightly, and did not directly put away his sword, but raised his sword and turned to the next person.

But at this moment, without waiting for the person to speak, the previous Li Yi and Li Sima got up directly, and pressed the knife on the colleague beside him, "On the order of the Duke of Yan, the prince of Mao will act as the Yizhou affair, what doubts do you have?!" ”

The Wu Yi brothers didn't dare to slack off, and they all got up, holding their knives and asking, "What are your doubts?!" ”

Although the surrounding soldiers were at a loss, they saw their masters asking questions together, and they also drew their swords and vibrated their armor together under the leadership of the military marquis surnamed Jiang.

The banquet was in a panic, but under the leadership of a few bold people, they forced themselves to be calm, and they bowed down in the banquet one after another, claiming to receive orders.

"That's so!" Xu Yuanzhi calmly commanded. "Please show your loyalty...... From the left side of Yan Gong, from the right side of Yizhou! ”

After speaking, the man removed his left sleeve to expose his shoulder, and then cut off the sleeve of his left arm with a single sword.

The Dongzhou scholars did not dare to slack off, and from Wu Yi downwards, they followed suit.

And since the left side was completed, Xu Shu did not let people go back to lead the troops, but directly ordered Wu Ban to lead the troops in front, and personally took twenty warriors to hold these officers hostage, shouting and gathering troops along the way, and attacked Liu Yan's mansion next door to the barracks! However, in the barracks, he fought with some die-hard elements, which aroused the vigilance of the henchmen and guards stationed in Liu Yan's mansion, and then caused turmoil in various official offices, military camps, and treasury around the inner city, which were basically equivalent to the inner city.

At this time, Zhang Ziqiao, who had already been restless, also forcibly pressed the excitement in his heart, turned over his horse, and took more than 200 Zhang clan servants directly to the street with weapons, and also shouted along the way, while letting the people rest in peace and not go out, while announcing the so-called Yan Gong's will, and began to try to gather and coerce officials from all over the city, and took these dazed people to the direction of the inner city.

Some people don't want to participate in this kind of chaos, but they are directly threatened by Zhang Ziqiao to set fire to the house, so they can only pinch their noses and comply; Someone took the initiative to clamo for his entourage, seemingly to grab credit, but Zhang Ziqiao shouted for command and deliberately assigned some tasks such as occupying empty street entrances...... For a while, the city was also lively in an instant.

However, just when Zhang Ziqiao was crisscrossing the outer city and was so happy that he got carried away, the so-called inner city was actually between the military camp and the state governor's mansion, but a group of rabble on the left side suffered a serious setback.

Very simply, these hundreds of soldiers and horses who were temporarily clamoring for a while, although under the command of the Wu brothers, broke through the blockade of the ordinary soldiers in the barracks who lost their heads, but because they had no means to attack the fortifications, they were blocked in the governor's mansion!

It can only be said that although Liu Yan is luxurious and superstitious, he is also famous for his selfishness and fear of death, and his mansion is tall and large, and the hastily assembled rebels will not be able to attack it for a while and a half without special equipment.

And this kind of rabble, whether it is a coup d'état, a surprise attack or a beheading, once it does not go well, it will definitely collapse quickly.

"I remember how far away Liu Yan's mansion is from the surrounding houses?" Xu Shu, who was shirtless and holding a long sword, was still not in a hurry, which made Wu Yi, who was a little flustered next to him, really admire.

In fact, Xu Yuanzhi is really not pretending...... He has fought all the decisive battles in the Central Plains, and he has also seen forty or fifty thousand defeated soldiers, who is afraid of this? Not to mention, his people have always taken Guo Fengxiao as a benchmark and wanted to do something, and how calmly did Guo Fengxiao kill Chang Feng that day?

"Not bad." Wu Yi immediately bowed his head.

"That's easy to do," Xu Yuanzhi continued to calmly make a decision. "There is only a slight wind today, why not set fire to the state governor's mansion?"

When Wu Yi heard this, he was about to give an order, but he suddenly turned around, "Since there is no wind, you need enough things to ignite fire, where did you get so many combustible things in the barracks?" ”

"Isn't this a ready-made chopping wood?" Xu Yuan was puzzled when he heard this, but he casually pointed to the middle of the barracks under a shack with a huge area.

Wu Yi became more and more stunned, but he didn't move, but Li Yi, who was shirtless next to him, couldn't help but say to him, "Xu Jun, that is a thousand cars that Liu Yizhou spent many years to make, almost emptying the treasury of Shudi, they are all treasures......"

"It's all rubbish." Xu Shu turned around and scolded calmly. "The car made by the Son of Heaven is considered illegal for Yan Gong to use...... In Shuzhong, those who have livestock dare not use it, and those who do not have livestock are not as convenient as pushing a wheelbarrow. As for sending it out of Shuzhong, on the road of Jianmen Road, it is better to build it directly outside! Dare to ask the two, now that even Liu Yan is about to abdicate, these things are not used to burn, what other uses can they have? ”

Wu and Li looked at each other, but they did not hesitate, but immediately shouted, letting the soldiers transport the car to set the fire and prepare to attack Liu Yan's mansion.

It is said that before the fire ignited from the side of the Yizhou Mu Mansion, Liu Junlang, who was already dying, was already supported by his second son Liu Dan and walked up to the attic of the mansion to watch the situation.

At that time, his people listened to the foreign accent full of 'on the orders of Yan Gong', and watched the Dongzhou sergeant camp in chaos, but in fact, it was already crumbling...... After all, even if he was already vigilant in his heart, he could take Dongzhou Shi as the foundation of his rule, how could he not be shaken in the face of this sudden rebellion from his heart?

And when he saw with his own eyes that the Son of Heaven, who was almost regarded as his spiritual sustenance, was used as chopping wood and ignited half of the outer wall of the mansion, he suddenly collapsed and cried out directly in the attic.

"Just because I didn't help him kill Zhang Jiao back then, Gongsun Xun is jealous to this day!" Liu Junlang cried a lot, but he held his second son's hands with tears in his eyes and said angrily. "And Lu Bu, he didn't go to see him after he joined me, so he will definitely kill people...... What Yan Gong? What Destiny? Is this kind of narrow-minded person also worthy of the son of heaven? ”

At the end of the cry, the people wailed loudly, like shrews, but they were so shocked that the attendant samurai were stunned.

And the firelight Linlin, Liu Dan, who was holding his hands, also wanted to speak for a while, where did he not understand? His father was struck by this blow, but it was as if he had been pierced through the chest and abdomen with a sword...... Although he is still alive, he is completely useless.

The firewood was sufficient, the fire was rising, and before it could burn through the outer wall of the mansion, it had already caused the guards of Liu Yan's mansion to get out of control, and the young Wu Ban seized the fighter plane, with bare arms, and personally led more than ten people to detour through the shadows behind the mansion and hang in, but he successfully opened the door of the mansion and led a group of people from the left to enter.

So far, the so-called assassination of the country in Shu has turned out to be eight points!

It can only be said that Liu Yan's father and son are unpopular, and they deserve Xu Shu's miraculous feat!

However, it is worth mentioning that seeing that the overall situation is about to be decided, Li Yi and Li Sima, who are particularly outstanding tonight, also led several people to break through, but unfortunately died in the chaos and never returned to Luoyang's hometown to tidy up the graves of their ancestors.

It's a shame.

————I am the dividing line that unfortunately died in battle————

"When Taizu went to Yingchuan, he was happy to see Guo Jia and Xu Shu, and he gave the sword with gold to encourage. Later, the decisive battle of Guandu, Cao Cao died, and the sword that he carried was lost in the wild, and Jiacha Liqi contributed to Xu, Taizu sighed, "The ancient sword is said to be a famous sword in the sky, and the long dragon can be killed, and the filial piety is lonely and the sky is also." 'It's a service, Shu also cut Zhou Yu on the ridge on the acre, but the name is not shown, and next year, I will cut down Shu in the Sword Pavilion, its negative sword into Shu, drive Wu Zhang Er's clan and Liu Yan father and son, it happened, Taizu heard again, and finally sighed 'I don't mean to kill the dragon with a sword!' 'As the world has said, leaning on the sky and slaying the dragon will eventually become a famous sword in the world. —"Shilin Miscellaneous", recorded by Yan Anonymous
