Li Yi saw Dian Wei holding a volume of documents in his hand.

"Who's?" Li Yi asked.

"General Zilong's urgent letter." Tai Shi Ci replied, "The fast horse sent it seems to be urgent. ”

"What? Something went wrong with the grain and grass again? Or is the war on the other side of the country unfavorable? Li Yi said as he took the bamboo slips handed by Dian Wei.

Because the five counties in the west of Youzhou were invaded by the Xianbei army, the road to Liaodong to transport grain and grass has been completely interrupted. Now there are more than 100,000 troops, and they can only collect grain and grass on the spot in Liaodong. This is really not easy for Liaodong, which has a small population.

Li Yi was thinking that in the coming year, he must form a navy and transport grain and grass to Liaodong by sea. In this way, not only can the raids of the Xianbei and Wuhuan people be avoided, but also a lot of consumption can be reduced.

After all, today's ships are all sailboats, and there is no need for horses to pull cattle and camels, and even the number of transport troops can be reduced several times.

The war between the five western counties and the invading Xianbei people was relatively smooth before, Guan Yu, Yue Fei and Kou Zhun all withstood the onslaught of the Xianbei people, and did not let the Xianbei people break through the border and enter the interior to plunder.

Up to now, Li Yi was worried that Liu Ding and Gongsun Zan in the east would not be able to contain it, so the Xianbei people broke through the defense line. If that's the case, the problem is more serious. Because the defense force of the inner line of the five western counties of Youzhou is extremely weak, once the Xianbei people break through the defense line of the Youzhou army, the damage caused to the five western counties will be very serious.

Tian Yu hurriedly walked over and quickly lit the torch in his hand.

Li Yi lit the fire, and after reading it hastily, his expression suddenly became a little annoyed.

"Lord, what's wrong?" Tai Shi Ci asked.

Li Yi casually threw the book to him and walked to the river alone.

"Ziyi, what's wrong? The lord seemed unhappy. Tian Yu held the torch, looked at Li Yi's back, and asked in a low voice.

Tai Shi Ci and Dian Wei hurriedly looked at it. They all looked a little nervous.

"Guorang, Your Majesty has sent someone to reward and comfort us." Tai Shi Ci said slowly.

Tian Yu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is this a good thing?" Why is the lord unhappy? ”

"It's not a good thing to come to the army at this time." Tai Shici glanced at Tian Yu and said, "The situation in Liaodong is very bad now, according to the current situation, we can block the rebels in Liaodong by the end of the year and ensure that the five western counties are not lost, which is already the best result." But His Majesty was certainly not satisfied with this result. The adults pacified Liaodong. Offending the bureaucrats of the DPRK and China, this is a good opportunity to fall into the ground, how can they let it go? ”

Tian Yu nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Who is here?" Is it a eunuch? If it's a eunuch, things are much easier. ”

Tai Shi Ci looked at Tian Yu strangely.

Tian Yu smiled mysteriously at him and did not speak.

Dian Wei glared at the machete and said, "There are four people here, and only one is a eunuch. ”

………………

Li Yi felt that Liu Hong's old boy sent someone to reward the army at this time, obviously because he didn't trust himself. Although he said that he was not well-intentioned. But now he is indeed working hard for the Han Dynasty. As a result, at the critical moment, the old boy actually sent someone to Liaodong to inspect himself, and his purpose was self-evident.

"Lord, let's go back to the Xiangping camp immediately, right?" Dian Wei walked to Li Yi's side. "At present, the situation in Liaodong is very difficult, and it is difficult for us to reverse the situation in a short period of time. You see......"

"Lord, at this time, it is better for you to sit in the camp yourself." Tai Shici also said, "The rebels have plenty of food and grass. It was difficult for us to find an opportunity to attack. If it is going around here, it is better to go back and prepare for the attack as soon as possible. Fan Cheng ......"

He hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "It is estimated that it is difficult for Fanhan City to have a chance to solve the predicament. ”

Li Yi shook his head and said, "I don't like to deal with people in the court, and I don't like to deal with eunuchs, so I won't go back." ”

He pointed to Tai Shi Ci and Dian Wei and said, "You write a letter to Xu Junshi and Zilong, saying that I am looking for a fighter plane and cannot go back in the short term, and everything is handled at their discretion." ”

………………

Gongsun Zhang was in a particularly good mood today.

Jin Yang is Gongsun Yu's sworn brother, and he was ordered by Gongsun Yu to bring a can of delicious beef bone soup to Fang County. Gongsun Zhang is good to drink this. Gongsun Zhang, under the service of his wife, drank half a jar in one go. Then he took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and drank the other half jar.

Gongsun Zhang's sons Gongsun Yan and Jin Yang were very excited when they saw that Gongsun Zhang was in good spirits. The two rushed to talk to Gongsun Zhang.

Gongsun Zhang said he wanted to go out and bask in the sun.

The two of them agreed in unison, and carried Gongsun Zhang to the courtyard along with the recliner.

Gongsun Zhang lay comfortably in the sun, holding his wife's hand and whispering gossip.

After a while, Gongsun Zhang closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Gongsun Zhang's wife held his hand tightly, and suddenly burst into tears.

Gongsun Yu looked at Jin Yang, who had a sad face, and was silent for a long time, before asking, "Has he drunk it all?" ”

Jin Yang nodded and said, "He drank it in two parts." He thanked you and said he remembered the events of his childhood again. ”

Gongsun Yu sighed miserably, his face was gloomy, and he turned his head and said to Gongsun Wen: "Fourth brother, order the whole army to suspend the siege of the city. ”

Gongsun Wen looked sad and nodded in agreement. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Do we want to go back to Fang County overnight?" ”

Gongsun Yu thought for a moment and said, "We owe the third brother too much, we should go back to see him." Leave the matter here to the eldest brother. ”

"The eldest prince has left Daying and returned to Fang County." Jin Yang said, "Gongsun Yan came back with me. When the eldest prince heard that the second prince had passed away, he didn't say anything, rushed out of the big tent, got on his horse and left. ”

"Then leave it to Lao Jiu." Gongsun Yu waved his hand and said, "Let's leave for Fang County immediately." ”

………………

Although he knew that the second brother would die sooner or later, when it came to this day, Gongsun Han still couldn't bear the pain in his heart.

He knelt on Gongsun Zhang's mourning hall and wept bitterly.

But he was immediately stunned by the more cruel news, Gongsun Zhang was poisoned, and the entire Fang County was rumored that Gongsun Zhang was poisoned by Gongsun Han.

Gongsun Han couldn't accept this fact for a while, and the whole person was like being in an evil spirit, standing in the courtyard stupidly, as if a clay sculpture.

Yang Hao is the father of Gongsun Han's daughter-in-law, and Gongsun Han is in-law. His other daughter was married to Gongsun Yan, the son of Gongsun Zhang.

Yang Hao slapped Gongsun Han hard and said angrily: "Bo Ming, what are you hesitating about? Gongsun Yu, that mongrel, can't change the temper of the Xianbei people, he even wants to kill Shuwen, who is going to die, let alone you. Kill him quickly to prevent future troubles, or you will be the next to die! ”

Gongsun Han's eyes were blank, his mind was in chaos, and a voice seemed to be telling him that things were not so simple.

He tried to sort out the mess, but grief and anger swept through him like a flood, making it impossible for him to breathe, to think, or to move.

Yang Hao saw that Gongsun Han looked grief-stricken and delirious, and turned a deaf ear to what he said, and couldn't help but be very anxious, he urged again: "Bo Ming, don't miss the opportunity, don't come again, take advantage of their return to the city to mourn, you quickly kill them, otherwise, you will be the next one to die." ”

Gongsun Han shook his head and said bitterly: "No, I want to ask him, our brother for decades, why did he do this?" Why? ”

Yang Hao looked at him helplessly, reached out and patted him on the shoulder with great sympathy, and said, "It's not all because you and Shuwen blocked their attempt to occupy the entire Liaodong. Not to kill you? If you don't kill you, who will you kill? Who are you killing? ”

Gongsun Han suddenly woke up.

He thought about it for a long time, then looked at Yang Hao, and it took a lot of effort to squeeze out two words from his mouth: "Kill." ”

………………

Gongsun Yu looked at Gongsun Wen who was lying in a pool of blood, then looked down at the long sword piercing his chest, and smiled sadly.

He remembered what the fourth brother had said to him this spring: If you continue to treat them as brothers, one day you will die at their hands. It seems that the fourth brother is right.

Gongsun Yu turned around and said to Gongsun Yan, who was standing behind him holding the hilt of the sword, "You take your hand away, I will kowtow to the third brother." ”

Gongsun Yan was shocked by his momentum, and let go of his grip on the hilt of the sword in shock.

Gongsun Yu carried a long sword that pierced his chest and abdomen, and slowly walked to the front of the mourning hall. He knelt down slowly, kowtowed respectfully, then straightened up, looked at Gongsun Zhang lying in the coffin, and sighed softly.

Gongsun Wen saw Gongsun Han and saw Gongsun Han with an indifferent face. He used all his strength, squeezed out a disdainful smile, and asked, "Why did you kill the third child?" He's your brother, your best brother......"

Before he finished speaking, Gongsun Wen was already angry, but his eyes were wide open, and he couldn't bat at death.

Gongsun Han suddenly changed color.

By this time, he didn't know where he had been taken advantage of and killed his two brothers.

This fact was really difficult for the conceited and intelligent Gongsun Han to accept, he looked at Gongsun Yu, who was looking at Gongsun Zhang in the coffin, and asked unwillingly: "Old Five, tell me, did you kill the third child?" Yes and no?! ”

Gongsun Yu smiled, with disdain on his face, and said, "My smartest eldest brother, haven't you seen the truth of the matter clearly until now?" How long are you going to deceive yourself? Hehe, you are so smart, the second child died because of your calculations, and now the third brother is also dead, the fourth brother and I are also dead, and our subordinate Gongsun family is about to die, this is all caused by you, the smartest person in our subordinate Gongsun family, hehehe...... Hehe......"

Gongsun Yu didn't make a sound again, he fell on Gongsun Zhang's coffin and closed his eyes. (To be continued.) )
