Chapter 171: Secretly Surrendered
I heard that it was Li Chi of the Li family in Luoyang who asked to see him, and Kui Huan really met him.
Li Chi's father, Li Zhong, and Kui Huan are world friends.
The Li family has been in business for generations and has a rich family background.
When Kui Huan was in Liangzhou, Li Zhong did not donate money and food.
After Kui Huan dominated Liangzhou, he also reciprocated Li Zhong and gave the Li family a lot of convenience, making the Li family's business bigger and bigger.
After Li Chi saw Kui Huan, he cried a handful of snot and tears, saying that he and his little sister stayed in the old house, but they were looted by the mob, and the food at home was robbed.
After hearing what happened to Li Chi and Li Chunyue's brothers and sisters, Kui Huan frowned and said, "Now that Luoyang is fighting, what are you and your sister still doing in Luoyang?"
Go back and get your sister out of town!" β
Li Chi shook his head again and again, and said: "Wang, my little sister and I can't go, my father doesn't like me and my little sister in the first place, if I and my little sister sneak out of the old house again, and when my father comes back, my brother and sister will have no way to live!" β
Kui Huan sighed, he also had a lot of complaints about Li Zhong's approach, they were both his own children, so why treat them so differently.
He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll have someone give you a few stones of grain later, and you can take it back to the city." β
Li Chi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "King, it's too much. β
"Oh?"
I'll give you a few stones of grain for nothing, are you too much?
Li Chi said: "Although there is no closure of LΓΌyang now, but in and out of LΓΌyang, there are thieves searching, a few stones of grain, once found by the thief army, they have to be snatched away!" β
As soon as he said this, Kui Huan immediately remembered, it was indeed the case, the Han army was very strict with the grain, and many grain merchants in Luoyang wanted to transport the grain out of the city, but they were all intercepted and snatched away by the Han army.
He slapped the table and said, "These thieves are a swarm of locusts!" β
After a pause, he looked at Li Chi's eyes and softened a little, and said, "That...... You can bring less food back to the city, and when you can't wait enough, come to me to get it again!" β
"Thank you, King!"
Li Chi's face was full of excitement, and he bowed to Kui Huan.
Kui Huan asked Li Chi to prepare some wine and food and let him go down to eat.
Li Chi was led by the soldiers to a camp tent, where the food was already arranged, there were no delicacies from the mountains and seas, it was just a very ordinary coarse tea and light rice.
However, as a rich son, Li Chi lived like a starving ghost, shook off his cheeks, and ate a whole table of meals this time, and even the vegetable soup was eager to add light.
During this period, Kui Huan also came over to see Li Chi, and seeing his gobbling up and windswept appearance, Kui Huan was even more convinced of Li Chi's statement.
After eating and drinking, Li Chi walked out of the camp tent and asked the officers and soldiers outside about Wang Zun's residence, saying that he was going to visit him.
Kui Huan was good to Li Chi, and now Li Chi was going to see Wang Zun, but the soldiers did not dare to stop him, and the soldiers who would come to the scene took the initiative to lead him to Wang Zun's camp.
Hearing that there was a person named Li Chi who wanted to see him, Wang Zun was at a loss, he didn't know Li Chi at all, and was about to say no, when the soldier who reported the news whispered: "General, this Li Chi is the king's guest." β
Wang Zun was stunned, thought about it, nodded his head, and asked the soldiers to bring Li Chi in.
Li Chi entered the camp tent, and when he saw Wang Zun, he immediately reported to his home.
Wang Zun didn't know Li Chi, but he knew Li Zhong, and he didn't have a deep friendship, but they also had a few drinks together.
Wang Zun casually exchanged a few words with Li Chi and asked, "Li Xian's nephew came to see me, but is there something?" β
"This ......" As he spoke, Li Chi looked left and right.
Wang Zun stared at Li Chi for a moment, waved his hand outward, and said, "All retreat first!" β
The soldiers present bowed down one after another and withdrew from the camp.
When only he and Wang Zun were left in the tent, Li Chi hurriedly stepped forward.
Wang Zun was taken aback, subconsciously held the saber under his ribs, and asked coldly, "What are you going to do?" β
Li Chi waved his hand and said, "Don't misunderstand, general, the villain has no malicious intent. β
As he spoke, he quickly lifted the placket of his robe, took out a roll of silk silk from his boots, handed it to Wang Zun respectfully, and said in a low voice: "General, this is sent by His Majesty to the villain." β
Your Majesty?
Wang Zun subconsciously took the silk cloth and did not unfold it immediately, but stared at Li Chi intently.
Which Majesty?
Is it Your Majesty in Chengdu or Your Majesty in Luoyang?
He had a stomach full of questions, but he didn't speak, just looked at Li Chi for a moment.
Li Chi swallowed his saliva, leaned forward again, lowered his voice, and said, "It's the son of heaven of the big man, and I asked the villain to send this silk silk!" β
Wang Zun's body shook suddenly, and the hand holding the silk silk trembled involuntarily.
However, his gaze still fell on Li Chi's face, and it became sharper and sharper.
Li Chi knew that this matter was very important, and even decided Wang Zun's life and death, he whispered: "The villain can guarantee the life of the whole family, and everything he says is true!" β
Looking at his firm and open eyes, I don't know how long it took for Wang Zun to retract his gaze, look at the silk in his hand, and slowly unfold it little by little.
This piece of silk is a long strip, and there are not many words in the scene - Shun Tiandao, return to the right path.
The signing is a 'show' word.
Don't look at just a few words, but the meaning that Liu Xiu wants to express is very clear, inviting Wang Zun to turn his back on Kui Huan and take refuge in the Han family.
After Wang Zun saw it, he didn't say a word, but immediately found the fire fold, blew it, and then lit the silk silk.
Until this piece of silk turned to ashes, Wang Zun's heart was beating rapidly.
He slowly raised his head, tried his best to suppress his excitement, and asked, "Li Chi, is this written by His Majesty himself?" β
"Exactly! It was written by His Majesty in front of the villain! β
Wang Zun's body trembled even more, and his eyes couldn't help but flush.
Wang Zun is different from Kui Huan, he follows Kui Huan, rises up, fights in the south and the north, and conquers the territory, with one purpose, to assist the Han family.
At the beginning, Kui Huan decided to return to Luoyang, Wang Zun was excited for several days and couldn't sleep, and then Kui Huan betrayed Luoyang and took refuge in Chengdu.
It can be said that as early as the day when Kui Huan decided to respect Gongsun Shu as the Son of Heaven, Wang Zun had already separated from Kui Huan.
It's just that he wanted to tell the old man to return to his hometown, but Kui Huan disagreed, Wang Yuan, Wang Meng and others also disagreed, Wang Zun couldn't refuse, so he could only continue to stay by Kui Huan's side.
Now that Liu Xiu personally repaired the book and invited him to return to the Han Dynasty, Wang Zun could not be excited, could he not be excited?
He tried not to let his excitement show on his face, and asked slowly: "Li Chi, ...... you" Li Chi was very shrewd, knowing what Wang Zun was worried about, he said with a straight face: "The villain sent this letter to the general, he is risking his life!" The villain is to His Majesty, and he will not give up! β
"Good! I believe in you! β
Wang Zun pondered for a moment and said: "You take me to send a message to Your Majesty: The Han family is the orthodoxy of the world, and all people of insight are proud of supporting the Han family.
The Wang family has been deeply blessed by the Han family, and the glory of the ancestors has not dared to forget it for a moment.
If Your Majesty does not give up, you will saddle your Majesty before and after the horse, and you will never give up! β
Wang Zun's grandfather and father were both Han officials.
After speaking, Wang Zun reached into his arms, took out a piece of jade pendant, handed it to Li Chi, and said, "This pendant can be used as a token of Zun." β
Such an important reply, and a reply to the Son of Heaven, should be written with a pen.
But Wang Zun didn't dare, and wrote these words with a pen, that is, the ironclad evidence was like a mountain, and if it fell into the hands of Kui Huan, he couldn't keep ten heads.
To be on the safe side, he could only verbally state his mind.
Even if Li Chi is meticulous and goes to Kui Huan to complain, it is only his side of the story, and he still has to defend himself, as for this jade pendant, it cannot be used as ironclad evidence, he can say that Li Chi stole it from him.
With his status and status, as long as there is no ironclad evidence in the hands of others, even Kui Huan will not be able to move him easily.
After listening to Wang Zun's words, Li Chi was very excited, nodded again and again, and said: "Don't worry, the general, the villain will definitely bring the general's words." β
As he spoke, he stuffed the jade pendant that Wang Zun had given him into his boots.
Wang Zun grinned, this was the ancestral token of his Wang family, and it was put into the shoe shell by Li Chi...... He cleared his throat and reminded, "Li Chi, don't trample on the jade pendant." β
Li Chi nodded again and again, patted his shoes happily, and said, "Don't worry, general, it's safest to put it here." β
"Hmm......" Wang Zun laughed dryly, didn't say anything more, just swept his eyes up to Li Chi's shoes.
Li Chi left the camp and took with him a large package of dry food.
Then, he returned the same way, followed the east city gate, and returned to the city of Luoyang.
When he entered the Li Mansion, he saw Luo You and told Luo You about Wang Zun's jade pendant and the message that Wang Zun entrusted him.
After Luo You heard this, he immediately left the Li Mansion and went to see Liu Xiu.
Barracks, middle military tents.
After listening to Luo You's retelling, Liu Xiu and the generals under his command were overjoyed.
Wang Zun agreed to take refuge in himself, which was a great joy.
Cho Qi said with a smile: "Wang Zun is a great general of Kui Huan, and he is one of the first henchmen to follow Kui Huan, Wang Zun defected, which is not a small blow to the morale of the Long army!" β
Sai Zun also nodded again and again, and said: "This is the best of the other, now Kui Huan wants to defeat Luoyang, but it is even more difficult!" β
Lai Xi rolled his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that he can let Wang Zun stay in Longjun temporarily." β
Liu Xiu looked at Lai Shi in confusion and asked, "What does this mean?" β
Lai Shu Zhengse said: "Wang Zun defected, and he was only the one who took refuge in him, if Wang Zun can persuade Niu Han to defect, then the one who took refuge in him is no longer a person, but an army of more than 100,000!" β
Seeing that Liu Xiu's eyes lit up, Cho Period and Sai Zun also looked at him with bright eyes, and Lai Xi continued: "Wang Zun and Niu Han have been friends for a long time, and others may not succeed in persuading Niu Han to defect, if Wang Zun goes to persuade, Weichen estimates that things are nine times out of ten. β
Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, he took the jade pendant sent by Wang Zun, rubbed his thumb back and forth on the jade pendant, and muttered: "It seems that in two days, I have to let Li Chi go to Kui Huan to 'borrow grain'!" β
When everyone present heard this, they all laughed.
Not to mention, this Li Chi is indeed a person who can do things.
After two days, the camp of the Kui Huan Army, which had not moved, finally came out to attack LΓΌyang again.
This time, Kui Huan did not divide his troops, but let the Long army and the Shu army merge together to attack the western city of Luoyang.
It is said that the two armies are one, but in fact, when the attack was launched, the Long army formation and the Shu army formation were still distinct, with the Long army on the right and the Shu army on the left, advancing together.
The siege of the 80,000-strong army was huge, the momentum was like a rainbow, and it looked very scary, but when attacking, the two armies still made the old mistake, and they were unwilling to attack with all their strength.
Stop-and-stop, the day's time is spent in this unhurried rhythm.
The army of 80,000 couldn't defeat Luoyang, which was only garrisoned by 20,000 people, and after returning to the camp, Kui Huan was naturally furious again, and scolded all the generals under his command, along with Li Yu and Tian Yi of the Shu army.
Li Yu and Tian Yi lowered their heads and didn't squeak, anyway, no matter how you scold, I'm like this, you want me to fight with the Han army, you sit back and enjoy it, that's impossible! In today's words, this Li Yu and Tian Yi are hob meat, and their faces are so thick that they can't get blood out of an awl.
Gongsun Shu sent these two hob meat to lead troops to reinforce Kui Huan, and it is not difficult to see how sincere Gongsun Shu is to Kui Huan.
