Night falls, and the night is pitched.

The light rain is dripping, and the moisturizing things are silent.

Wuwei City, on the official road to the south of the Yangtze River.

Tao Ce, Sun Xun, led seventy or eighty thousand elite soldiers forward.

At this time, their faces were gloomy and cold, and they looked at the dejected soldiers, and their anger grew.

"General Sun, you and I came to Xiliang in high spirits, and it was thankless to fight hard for more than a month, are you willing?

As they marched together, Tao Cesenhan's face showed murderous aura and asked in a low voice.

In the past, he followed Zhao Rui to fight in the south and the north, with many losses and few gains.

Today, I had the opportunity to lead the army to conquer Wuwei City and grab the emperor and the jade seal of the country, but I was forced by Zhao Rui.

missed the opportunity to seize the city, and he was even injured by Zhao Rui.

Assist the Qin army to defeat the Flying Bear Army, and when capturing the prisoners, the capture was all for the Qin army to snatch.

After one day of killing, the elite of the department lost thousands of people, and in the end, the bamboo basket was empty.

The jade seal of the country is still in Wuwei City, and it is too much to lead the army to return empty-handed.

Hearing the sound, Sun Xun looked at the prime minister, and his face was full of surprise.

Aggrieved!

He didn't want to leave.

However, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the Qin army is allied, and they call themselves two factions, and they can't be tolerated!

In addition, Jiangnan is far away from Xiliang Road, and the consumption of grain and grass is too fast, and it is difficult to transport it.

Unable to obtain rich benefits, he could not put his troops in Xiliang.

Hearing what Tao Ce said, the other party seemed to have a good plan and asked, "General Tao, what plan do you have?" ”

"General Sun, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is a strong force, if you get it, you will definitely be able to help you and me expand our power. You and I can unite with Zhao Rui to expand our territory, why can't we unite with Lu Boning? Tao Ce's tone raised a few points, and he said coldly: "You and I led the army to Wuwei City quietly, and persuaded Lu Boning to lead the army to attack the Qin army, and the coalition army can reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”

Complicit with Lu Boning?

Sun Xun looked shocked and said cautiously: "General Tao, the generals of Xiliang are tigers, wolves and bears, insidious and cunning, and if you unite with them, there will be no bones left for them to eat." ”

Lu Boning, Guo gradually leaving, Zhao Shaoqing, some people are good at fighting, some people are good at strategy, and they are not fools.

Jia also asked, how could they let their plan succeed.

Since Dong Chang ruled the country, the princes from all walks of life have fought against Dong and killed the generals of Xiliang on the battlefield, and they have long buried deep hatred and hatred between each other.

"General Sun, what you are worried about is true, but Lu Boning wants to eradicate the Qin army, the coalition army, you and I also want to eradicate the other party. Everyone has the same goal and believes in Lu Boning, Jia asked, understand the truth that the opportunity is fleeting? Tautzer said.

He raised his eyelids, glanced at Sun Xun, and said sharply: "If General Sun has any scruples, please lead the army to return south, and Tao will lead the troops to Wuwei City." ”

Tao Ce and Sun Xun are both princes from Jiangnan, but the Sun family has been operating in Jiangnan for two generations and is deeply rooted, and Tao Ce's territory and power are relatively weak.

Sun Xun's heart is like a mirror, they led the army to fight against Dong, and their interests were the same, but sooner or later there would be a war.

At this time, there are gains and losses.

Not only did he want to quickly lead his troops back to Jiangnan and grab Tao Ce's territory, but he was also afraid that Tao Ce's plan would succeed and get a large number of elite cavalry, which would threaten him in the future.

Not to mention the labor expedition, he didn't want to go home empty-handed.

If the Qin army and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry are killed, he will profit from it and will return with a full load.

When he hesitated, he smiled: "General Tao, you and I are both from Jiangnan, and our interests are the same, since General Tao is willing to fight in Xiliang, how can Sun abandon the general and ignore it?" ”

With the same interests and like-minded interests, Tao Ce nodded with satisfaction: "Send a scout as soon as possible and send a message to Lu Boning, you and I will lead the army close to Wuwei City first, and then try to provoke a war." ”

"Good!"

Before the laughter fell, a scout rode out and headed for Wuwei City.

The night was long, and the drizzle was getting heavier and heavier.

Hou Mansion.

In the hall, Lu Boning, Guo Yanli, Zhao Shaoqing, Jia Wenwen, Wang Zhao and others gathered to study the letter sent by Zhao Rui.

At dusk, Zhao Rui sent scouts to come, and a sharp arrow was shot at the head of the city.

Lu Boning got the letter and skimmed it quickly.

The content of the letter is simple, with only a few lines, Tao Ce, Sun Xun surrendered, and wanted to kill Hou Ye and seize Wuwei City.

After thinking for a while, Lu Boning was a little puzzled, and couldn't guess what Zhao Rui meant.

Even if Tao Ce and Sun Xun wanted to lead the army to attack Wuwei City, as a mortal enemy, Zhao Rui not only should not have sent the message, but supported Tao Ce, Sun Xun.

Puzzled, he had to gather everyone to discuss.

When he didn't get the result, Gao Changxun strode into the hall, bowed to salute, and Lu Boning said: "Lord Hou, not long ago, Tao Ce sent scouts to come and send a letter, claiming that he was willing to abandon his previous suspicions and unite with Hou Ye, General Guo, and General Zhao to counterattack the coalition army and the Qin army. ”

"Oh?"

Lu Boning looked shocked.

Guo gradually left, Zhao Shaoqing, Jia asked, Wang Zhao, and suddenly became puzzled.

Zhao Rui, Tao Ce, what are you doing?

Why all of a sudden, they rushed to show favor to Lu Boning,

Lu Boning took the letter and browsed it, frowned slightly, and sent the letter to Guo Yanli.

After all the generals read the letters, Lu Boning asked with a serious face: "Zhao Rui, Tao Ce, suddenly show favor to Ben Hou, what do you think?" ”

According to their speculation, if Zhao Rui did not lie and deliberately showed goodwill, most likely hoped to release the emperor as a way to express his sincerity.

Tao Ce really led the troops to come.

However, in Tao Ce's letter, he claimed that he was willing to abandon his previous suspicions with the generals of Xiliang, kill the Qin army, and join forces.

Lu Boning was puzzled, not knowing whether to believe Zhao Rui or Tao Ce.

At noon, Tao Ce and Sun Xun led their troops to storm Wuwei City, led the army to leave, and inflicted heavy losses on the Flying Bear Army.

Ambitious, they are definitely their mortal enemies.

The soldiers who came here to take refuge must have come to take refuge.

"General Gao, Tao Ce, Sun Xun, where are you?" Guo gradually asked with a pale face.

is worried that there is no way to take revenge, Tao Ce, Sun Xun still dares to throw himself into the net.

"General Yu, they have evaded the surveillance of the coalition forces, and they have made a detour of more than ten miles, and they are thirty miles southeast of Wuwei City!" Gao Changxun replied.

"There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, it takes no effort to get them, these two dog thieves, dare to lead the army to come, Lao Tzu went to slaughter them!" Guo gradually left the murderous aura, the green muscles skyrocketed, and said with murderous energy.

Without hesitation, he turned and walked out of the hall.

The Flying Bear Army was heavily damaged by the Qin Army, and Tao Ce and Sun Xun were one of the culprits.

At this time, I was alone, and I happened to take revenge.

"General Guo, don't be impatient, Tao Ce, Sun Xun may really take refuge!" Wang Zhao stopped Guo from leaving.

"Wang Sikong, what do you say?" Guo gradually stopped and asked unhappily.

"The general didn't know, at noon, when Zhao Rui was outside the city, he almost shot Tao Ce with a bow, Sun Xun, they turned against each other, which was expected." Wang Zhao said.

"Well, I heard Meng Zang talk about it, maybe they did turn against each other, and they want to use us to eradicate each other!" Lu Boning agreed.

Guo gradually didn't believe Lu Boning, Wang Zhao clasped his fists and saluted Jia Wen, and asked hurriedly: "Taishi, what do you think?" ”
