Chapter 254: Revenge

bluntly admonished and was beaten, so he turned from resentment to hatred and planned to find another master, and sent someone to contact him to show his heart, just waiting for the inside and outside to cooperate and let the old club pay a heavy price for beating himself. This step by step combing seems reasonable, but for some reason, Liu Xie always feels that Gao Ran's intention to surrender seems familiar, but no matter how you think about it, I just can't remember why there is such a sense of déjà vu.

"Holy Lord, I am afraid that this high view will come down to deceive." Jia Xu expressed his opinion.

Liu Xie also felt that there was something strange in this matter, and when he heard Jia Xu also say that this matter was suspicious, he hurriedly asked: "Wen He has seen a flaw in this matter?" ”

"Do you remember that Gundam once said that he was Gao Ran's own family, and that he was a brother and sister to Gao Ran?"

"Yes."

"That Gao Ran was beaten, as a brother and sister of Gundam, what should be the attitude towards Yuan Xi who beat Gao Ran?"

"Hmm...... I guess I dare not speak out. ”

"Then will he call Lord Yuan Xi?"

“…… Wenhe, are you saying that Gao Ran is here to deceive this time? Liu Xie remembered that Na Gao did refer to Yuan Xi as his lord, but it seemed a bit arbitrary to conclude that Gao Ran had surrendered based on this alone.

"That's not certain, but at least it's suspicious. And at present, our army and Yuan's army are at a standstill, and the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it will be to our army. Yuan Xi wants to solve us as soon as possible, the only way to do it is to come up with a strange plan, and it is indeed a good plan to defeat our army, if Jia Xu is not bad, this plan should be from Tian Yuanhao's hand. ”

"Smack!" Liu Xie suddenly slapped his thigh, not agreeing with Jia Xu's inference, but he suddenly remembered that during the Battle of Chibi, Huang Gai deceived Cao Cao, how similar the situation was at this time. In order to win the trust of Cao Cao, Zhou Yu also wanted to behead Huang Gai in public, and the public would intercede, and Huang Gai was only beaten with eighty canes. Unexpectedly, now there is no Battle of Chibi, no Zhou Yu to fight Huang Gai, but Tian Feng to fight Gaolan.

Damn it! Dare to deceive Lao Tzu!

Only fools will be fooled! In other words, those who are deceived are taken as fools by the liars. Liu Xie hates others to treat him as a fool the most, and I believe that no one wants to be treated as a fool. Tian Feng and Gao Lan partnered to deceive Liu Xie, but fortunately Jia Xu exposed it, and Liu Xie did not fall for evil. Don't say that there is no basis, trust is the biggest basis, Liu Xie believes in Jia Xu's judgment, and this is enough.

If you have revenge, you will not take revenge, and you are not a gentleman! Since Gao Ran came here with a bad hold, Liu Xie had no reason to be polite to him. Don't talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, you are treated as a fool, and if you don't have any means of revenge, you will really become a fool.

Jia Xu is known as a poisoner, he is not harmful, even if he accumulates virtue, and Liu Xie is also not good at stubble, and he has a bad stomach. It's just that Liu Xie will not risk bad water when he treats his own people, and for the enemy, as long as he can hit the opponent, then Liu Xie will also be unscrupulous. Gao Ran wanted to mix into the Han army under the pretense of deception so that he could be unprepared to attack him by surprise, and Jia Xu and Liu Xie decided to plan the plan, so that Gao Ran's deception would become a real deception, and the dumb man would know that he would suffer from Coptis chinensis.

……

Inside the camp of the Yuan army

Gao Ran didn't know that Tian Feng's deception had been seen through by the Han army, and after receiving the reward of Gundam, he immediately told Tian Feng about it. Gundam didn't know what Liu Xie and Jia Xu had discussed after he left, all he could say was that Liu Xie asked him to tell Gao Ran, and when Gao Lan's leader came to vote, he would send someone to answer.

The asymmetry of the message is easy to misjudge. Tian Feng and Gao Ran never thought that the Han army would conclude that Gao Ran had surrendered by fraud after Gundam left, so that when the two discussed the matter, the premise was that the Han army believed that Gao Ran's fraudulent surrender was really intended to surrender.

The follow-up plan that came up in this case is naturally a difference of 108,000 miles. It's a pity that Tian Feng and Gao Ran are not conscious, they are immersed in the joy of the success of the plan, and what they are discussing now is when to attack the Han army, when Gao Ran led the army to vote? Or after Gao Ran led the army into the Han army camp?

As the lord of Hebei, Yuan Xi of course knew about this trick, but he had been estranged from Gao Ran for many years, and the knot between them would not be able to be untied for a while, and Yuan Xi, who felt embarrassed when he saw Gao Lan, simply handed over the matter to Tian Feng, while he himself was busy contacting Karasuma King, hoping to ask him to lead troops to help him.

If you want to talk about the friendship between Badun and the Yuan family, it has been a long time, as early as when Yuan Shao was alive, Badun was a pawn of the Yuan family. It's just that compared to Lao Yuan, Xiao Yuan's appeal is obviously not as good as Lao Tzu's, and if Yuan Shao had anything to do in the past, as long as he was instructed, he had to do it. And now Yuan Xi wants to send troops to help, but he has to negotiate and measure, and he also has to promise benefits. Of course, this is also related to the fact that the power that Bun Dun has at this time is not what it used to be, Yuan Shao's time Bun Dun is just a tribal leader among the Karasuma people who is not very strong, but with the unification of the Yuan family in the north, with the support of the Yuan family, Bun Dun has also risen, and the power in his hands is getting stronger day by day, until now he has become the king of Karasuma.

There are hundreds of thousands of Karasuma people, and there are a few hundred thousand people who control the strings, because they are nomadic people, although they also learn from Han farming, but nomadism is still the main way of life. The strength of the Yuan family is strong, and there is no need to look at the face of the Yuan family to live. Although he has not fallen out with the Yuan family yet, it is impossible for the Yuan family to command at will as before he wants. In addition, there was a rumor a while ago that Tian Feng wanted to split up the Karasuma people, and Bun Dun was even more vigilant about the Yuan family.

Only when you have soldiers in your hands can you be called the king of Karasuma, and if your tribe is torn apart, your own Karasuma people will exist in name only. is related to their own practical interests, and the friendship boat between Badun and Yuan Xi is also overturned. Fortunately, Tian Feng did not take action against the Karasuma people, otherwise he would have turned against the Yuan family a long time ago. However, although the two sides have not yet turned their faces, it is not long before they turn their faces.

If you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates. The pig teammates on Yuan Xi's side are the big families in Hebei. These greedy guys are really a little blindless, and now they are at the critical juncture of the life and death of the Yuan family in Hebei, but they are still the same, continue to be drunk and dream of death, and continue to pursue the interests of their own family for personal gain.

Fortunately, they also knew that they had offended Yuan Xi because of Zhu Ling's affairs before, and they didn't dare to continue to stimulate Yuan Xi this time, but in order to pursue their so-called family interests, they set their sights on Karasuma Ren.

Previously, in order to induce Sun Quan and Liu Bei to send troops, Yuan Xi promised to give away a large number of war horses to the two families after the war. However, due to Sun Quan and Liu Bei's failure to work, Yuan Xi had already made up his mind that he would not fulfill his original promise. But regardless of whether Yuan Xi will fulfill his promise in the end, the Hebei family has already prepared to use this as an excuse to buy war horses, and has begun to put it into action.

Compared with the Han people, who mainly farmed, the nomadic Karasuma people were better at raising horses, and most of the war horses needed in Hebei were also helped by Karasuma people. Under the banner of collecting war horses, the Cui family sent someone to meet Badun. Bunton is the king of Karasuma, but the Cui family treats it as if he is a slave, and he opens his mouth to 20,000 horses.

He can ignore the Cui family's attitude towards him, but he wants to take away his 20,000 war horses with red mouth and white teeth, which is simply a fool's dream. 20,000 war horses, calculated by 100 yuan for one war horse, that is 2 million yuan, not to mention that some war horses are even more difficult to find. A good war horse, for a general, it is equivalent to another life, the Cui family wants to get millions of empty gloves for the white wolf with a mouth, isn't it a fool to say what a dream is?

He sternly rejected the Cui family's request, and he didn't take the threat of the Cui family to heart. Today, unlike in the past, with more than 100,000 horses under his command, how could he be afraid of the threat of a family. It's really annoying Lao Tzu, hack you bastards who don't know the height of the sky.

It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge; The villain takes revenge, from morning till night. The Cui family is not a gentleman, after being swept away by the barbarian Bandun, the Cui family not only did not introspect, but became angry and began to spread rumors that were unfavorable to Badun, trying to use this to motivate Yuan Xi to target Badun. But Yuan Xi did not get as angry as the Cui family wanted, but wrote a letter to Badun for confirmation first, and after knowing what had happened, he scolded the Cui family fiercely, and used this as an excuse to withdraw the county guard positions in several counties in Hebei as a warning.

Out of the knife out of the regime! Yuan Xi used to let the Cui family just to maintain the stability of Hebei, but he was not afraid of the Cui family. But the Cui family is "pampered and arrogant", thinking that they can cover the sky in Hebei with one hand, and even Yuan Xi, the lord of Hebei, is not taken into account by them.

And now, Yuan Xi gave a resounding slap in the face, which made a small part of the Cui family wake up and finally stop, but most of them are annoyed and angry. Shengmien, Dou Mi Qiu, accustomed to Yuan Xi's concessions, suddenly Yuan Xi didn't give in, and immediately made these people uncomfortable, and they clamored to give Yuan Xi a little color.

But how can Yuan Xi be the master who can be at the mercy of others. Although he has a somewhat cowardly personality, he is also the lord of Hebei and the spokesperson of the Yuan family. The fourth generation and third duke of the Yuan family are no worse than the Cui family in terms of family background. In the past, the Cui family could still pretend to be deaf and dumb when they said bad things about others, but this time the Cui family pointed the finger at Yuan Xi, and the people of the Yuan family naturally did not agree. Not to mention that the people of the Yuan family did not agree, and the trial who was responsible for staying in Yecheng would no longer be silent.

The trial is the kind of master who doesn't rub sand in his eyes, and the Cui family's killing of Zhu Ling's only son has made the trial pair extremely dissatisfied with the Cui family, but in order to take care of the overall situation, the trial can only temporarily suppress this dissatisfaction. Then the Cui family relentlessly forced the trial to agree to the appointment of the new county guard of Leling, which made this dissatisfaction worsen, until the Cui family began to target Yuan Xi, and the dissatisfaction that had been suppressed by the trial finally broke out.

Under the pretext of arresting the murderer, several principals of the Cui family who stayed in Yecheng were interrogated and invited into the government, and as the victim's family, Zhu Ling was also ordered to return to Yecheng.

The trial just wanted to use this as an excuse to beat the Cui family and warn the Cui family not to be too arrogant at this time, but not wanting Zhu Ling to come back at this time was simply "luring the wolf into the room".

Zhu Ling was almost forty years old before he got a son, in ancient times when he was generally married, he was already considered an old man, like Zhu Ling's age, some of them were grandparents, and he only had a son for a few years. I wanted to train my son to become a talent and glorify my ancestors, but I didn't want the Cui family to be so shameless that they could do this to a five-year-old child. For Zhu Ling, it is just to fight for nothing, and make the Cui family pay the price.

Before, Zhu Ling's strength was weak, and it was difficult to retaliate against the Cui family, but now it is different, Zhu Ling was ordered to return to Yecheng, he had soldiers in his hands, and he was ordered by Yuan Xi to be responsible for assisting in the trial and maintaining the stability of Yecheng, which was equivalent to sending a golden opportunity to retaliate against the Cui family to Zhu Ling.

The trial version only regarded Zhu Ling as the sufferer, but he didn't want Zhu Ling to lead his troops back to Yecheng The day after that, he first invited the trial to the Zhu family under house arrest, and then ordered the closure of the four gates to search for the Cui family's children.

A wicked man is his own hell! When Zhu Ling returned to Yecheng, the Cui family also got the news that the main members were gathering the Cui family to discuss countermeasures, but they didn't expect Zhu Ling to be so "decisive", and almost did not delay for a moment to order the closure of the city and arrest people, and the Cui family was still at home to discuss countermeasures, and the officers and soldiers who came to arrest them surrounded the Cui family.

"Zhu Ling! You want to rebel?! Cui Yan, the head of the Cui family who was taken by the officers and soldiers and sent to Zhu Ling, drank Zhu Ling angrily, but he didn't want Zhu Ling to care about Cui Yan's questioning, but after verifying his identity, he ordered left and right: "Take it down and go to death row." ”

……

Cui Yan originally thought that Zhu Ling would arrest the Cui family because of Yuan Xi's instructions, but when he entered the prison and saw the elites of the clan who were imprisoned in one place, an ominous premonition arose.

The Cui family is a big family in Hebei, and one-third of the county guards in Hebei are from the Cui family or have inextricable links with the Cui family. It was impossible for Yuan Xi to deal directly with the Cui family in Yecheng before he thought of a way to deal with those county guards, but Zhu Ling moved and wiped out the Cui family in Yecheng without letting go of any of them.

Where did he get that guts? Or is he trying to get up to something?

"What about Zhengnan? I want to see him. Cui Yan shouted at the jailer. As the head of the Cui family, if he usually greets a jailer, the jailer has to be flattered. But now, the jailer didn't seem to hear it, even if Cui Yan shouted a few times, he only glanced at Cui Yan.

And it was this glance that made Cui Yan's heart suddenly cold in half, it was the eyes of a dead man, and I am afraid that what he was worried about would come true, this Zhu Ling clearly planned to announce his personal vendetta, and I am afraid that he was either poisoned or placed under house arrest at this time.

Man is a sword, I am a fish. The taste of mermaid meat is not pleasant, Cui Yan hated Cui Lin who caused all these consequences at this time, if it weren't for him, the Cui family would not provoke Zhu Ling, a bad star who is desperate for personal revenge. But I knew why bother in the first place today, there has never been a regret medicine in this world, only retribution.

At this time, Zhu Ling was entertaining the trial at home, or he was explaining the aftermath. The trial was not a taste in his heart, looking at Zhu Ling who was bent on going his own way in front of him, even if the trial had a thousand words, he couldn't say it at this time.

"Zhengnan, you see, this is the big character that my child wrote when he was two years old, although it is not very good, but as a father, I am still very relieved to see my child write his name......" Zhu Ling seemed to have lost his mind, and pulled the items left by his son Zhu Zhi one by one to appreciate the items left by his son Zhu Zhi before his death.

"Wenbo, think twice before you act." The judge finally seized the opportunity to speak and persuaded Zhu Lingdao.

Zhu Ling put down the brush in his hand, which was made of Zhu Zhi's fetal hair, a total of six, and Zhu Ling was holding one at this time. After hearing the words of the judge, Zhu Ling carefully put the pen back in the box. looked at the judge and said: "Zhengnan, you don't have to persuade me anymore, I haven't lost my mind, and I know what the consequences will be." ”

"If you know, why can't you look at the big picture first? I promise you that when the wind and waves are calm, I will work with my lord to seek justice from the Cui family for you. The judge hurriedly assured Zhu Ling.

I didn't want Zhu Ling to shake his head and smile after hearing this, "Zhengnan, I believe in the sincerity of what you said, but I don't want to wait any longer, because I'm afraid that you and the lord will never have a chance to fulfill this promise." ”

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? The imperial court is powerful, although Hebei's initiative to provoke this time is also for the future, but how can the disparity in strength be easily reversed by manpower? Hebei will undoubtedly be defeated, and the Cui family, as long as they submit to the imperial court, do you think that the imperial court will embarrass the powerful Cui family for my Zhu Ling? ”

“…… Wenbo, you are on the front line, and you know the specific situation better than me, but you can tell me, what is the strength of the imperial court? ”

"What is there to say? Due south, you have to make it clear that it is not the main force of the imperial court that is confronting my main force in Hebei at this time, except for the pro-army of the Son of Heaven under the command of today's son, the rest are county soldiers from various counties. But even this rabble can still gain the upper hand in the battle with our main force in Hebei. You can imagine what the outcome of Hebei will be once the main force of the imperial court is dispatched to participate in the war. At present, there are 400,000 main forces of the imperial court concentrated in the grassland to deal with the Qianren, but once the Qianren are resolved, where do you say those 400,000 people will be pointed? At that time, what will Hebei rely on to resist. ”

“…… So you are not optimistic about the lord and want to take revenge yourself? ”

"If I don't take revenge now, I won't have a chance in the future. Zhengnan, you don't have to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind. ”

“…… Alas~ Since you insist on this, then I have nothing to say. But in order to take revenge, you plan to drag your family to the funeral for the Cui family? The judge sighed and asked unrelentingly.

"Since Zhi'er's tragic death, I, Zhu Ling, and my wife are almost like walking dead, what a pity for this life. Zhengnan, if you are annoyed, I will ask the lord for guilt in future generations, and I will say that I, Zhu Ling, am sorry for his trust, and I will be a cow and a horse in the next life. After Zhu Ling said this, he didn't pay any attention to the matching, and turned his head to leave.

Looking at the back of Zhu Ling leaving, the judge knew that this was the last time he saw Zhu Ling alive, and it was estimated that when the revenge was over, the Cui family would not be alive.
