Guo Quan started with such a few words, which made Shi Sheng's face full of excitement. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info is like a person who has suffered from a serious illness and has been ineffective for a long time, and occasionally hears others say that this disease may still be saved, and the heart that is dying is of course stirred again. Shi Sheng couldn't help but drag the seat closer, and urged Guo Quan to come quickly.

"Don't talk about it, just look at the difference between Jinshang and Shihu first, and treat people and things differently. Shi Hu, before he usurped the throne, he had the intention of harming people, but he coaxed with false words such as sealing the official and entering the knighthood, although he was suspicious, but he was not vigilant enough, so didn't King Changping just throw himself into the net and was finally killed? In the previous crusade against Cao Wei, Shi Hu also deceived Cao Wei and said that as long as he surrendered, he would not be blamed for the past, but Cao Wei was cut down with a knife as soon as he surrendered. He is a person who does not achieve his goal by unscrupulous means, and is cruel and very harmful. If the eldest brother is meeting Shi Hu right now, he will definitely say that he doesn't mind, and summon you back to Beijing with various benefits, and then the eldest brother will cut the meat on the chopping board with him. But now there is a clear distinction between love and hate, like is like, and if you don't like it, you will never go around the bend. For example, I heard that his old department Li Bao rebelled, and Jinshang showed his resolute attitude of getting rid of Li Bao from the very beginning, and later Li Bao took refuge in Sima Bao, and now he is invincible, and he has never let go in the most difficult time, he disdains rhetoric. ”

"So, according to the younger brother's speculation, if he had decided to do something to the eldest brother today, it would not be the current situation. He will surely tell the world that he will openly denounce you as a traitor, and then send a large army to fight against you openly. But now, big brother, you see, the three-way army is just encircling but not suppressing, and it has no clear intention to crusade against us. This shows that although the emperor has doubts, he has only taken regular precautions against you, eldest brother, and has not really made up his mind, and things should still turn around. ”

Shi Sheng nodded slowly, thoughtfully. Guo Quan paused, stood up and walked to the door, opened the curtain and looked at it for a while, said a few words to the soldiers outside the door, then came back and sat down, and said in a low voice: "But the younger brother should really ask the eldest brother, what is the real thought in the eldest brother's heart?" Can the rumors be taken seriously? ”

Shi Sheng's face was a little unnatural, and his gaze wandered. After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "Since he married Jin Lan with his brother, the foolish brother should tell the truth." I am the nephew of the first emperor, and I am also outstanding in the clan, and I have no thoughts about the position of heir to the throne at the beginning. And people like Shi Hu can sit in a big position, where am I inferior to him! It's just that all kinds of bad luck later, and I feel that I have no destiny, and I have stumbled to today's situation, and my heart has long been cold. ”

"Besides, when I had no way out, the emperor took me in regardless of his past suspicions. Over the years, it is true that there has been no mistreatment. Now that I have a firm foothold, I have to oppose him again, don't say how the world scolds me from now on, I can't pass the hurdle in my heart alone, at least I can't be like Shi Hu, I don't have a conscience! ”

"In reality, the Taobao coup failed, and Shi Hu is not dead now, how can I go back and be the Emperor of Great Zhao! And when I attacked Yanzhou before, many of the old brothers in the past were killed in battle, and it was the strong support of the imperial court that supplemented the soldiers' food and salaries in a timely manner, so that I could take the entire Yanzhou with a force that was not superior. At present, I only have 10,000 horses at my disposal, and if there is a rebellion, as soon as the logistics are cut off, I will immediately become a lonely army, and most of the soldiers will not obey orders. When the time comes, Zhao Guo will not be able to return, and then will be attacked by several armies together, and forward, Xu Niche will most likely fall into the ground, and want to take us to the emperor to ask for merit and guilt, at that time, either the people's hearts will be in chaos, or the army will mutinier and persecute us. Hehe, it's good that we can keep the first level, which one is the opposite! It's just that now that I'm being persecuted from all sides, even rabbits will bite, and if I have to, I will definitely resist, and I will never be caught! ”

"Well, in public and private, since the eldest brother has no intention of rebelling and being self-reliant, this can be regarded as having a clear conscience." After Guo Quan figured out Shi Sheng's true thoughts, he secretly thought better, "Our current strength, fighting against the imperial army, there is really no chance of victory, big brother must not be rash." According to the younger brother's intentions, it is better to do this, the eldest brother will analyze the heartfelt words of the emperor again, and then immediately open and attack Qingzhou according to the original plan. ”

Shi Sheng blinked his eyes and said, "Folded and analyzed, this is nothing to say." But at this time, is it more inappropriate to go to Qingzhou? ”

Guo Quan shook his head and said: "The eldest brother is in the middle of the game, and he is messing around. If you want me to say, there are at least two benefits to fighting Qingzhou. First, the imperial court has not issued an edict to stop the army at present, and the eldest brother has stayed like this, as if he is full of resentment or has a ghost in his heart. We are now facing the emperor on the one hand, and continuing to march to Qingzhou on the other hand, not only to follow orders, but also to show a bright and honest heart, and it is expected that the emperor should have some understanding. Two," Guo Quan turned his head and glanced out the door, lowering his voice a little more.

"Second, if there is disharmony, the emperor will finally attack the eldest brother and fight Qingzhou, which is equivalent to leaving a way out for us. If he can beat it at that time, the eldest brother will be the king in Qingzhou; If we can't beat it, we will simply go to the ocean by boat, go north to Goguryeo, or go south to the Ryukyu area, and from then on stay away from the Central Plains to be independent, be an overseas emperor and enjoy the blessings, regardless of whether he is Qin or Zhao! ”

Shi Sheng hung his head slightly, but Guo Quan saw his eyes quickly turning back and forth, obviously in his mind was the battle between heaven and man. At the end, Shi Sheng slapped his thigh suddenly, stood up on the ground, and said loudly: "God bless me, but with Bo Tao's help!" ”

Yecheng has been besieged for more than two years. However, firstly, the city walls were indeed exceptionally tall and strong, and secondly, because there was no shortage of supplies, although there were only 20,000 defenders left, there was no panic in the city. Under the premise of solid defensive strength, most of the common people believed that the Qin army outside the city could only return in vain in the end.

But recently, rumors have spread in the city that the secret grain and grass base of the Zhao army was burned and looted by the Qin army, and now the imperial court is very anxious, but for a while it can no longer take out food to supply the front line. Therefore, Yecheng is about to sit on the empty mountain, and it is only a matter of time before it falls. These words were spread so vividly that not only the inhabitants of the city gradually became frightened, but also among the soldiers of the defenders, who often whispered and hesitated. The city lord Liang Wang Shiting personally came forward to refute the rumors, tried his best to deny it and said that it was nonsense, so that people's hearts could be calmed a little.

On this day, Gui Yong, the defender of Beicheng and the general of Yokono, had already taken leave and hurried back before he was on duty. Along the way, there were familiar colleagues in the army, and they greeted each other from afar, but they didn't see any response from Gui Yong, so they just hurried away with their eyebrows locked and their heads stuffed, which made people inexplicable.

The meteor rushed home, still silent. The subordinates and attendants were surprised to find that General Gui's complexion was really unprecedentedly ugly, and they only threw down the sentence "If anyone visits, bring it immediately, and whoever delays will be severely punished", and then slipped into the study, and then closed the door. Everyone was secretly surprised, but no one dared to say more.

But it was said that Gui Yong was sitting in a lonely room and thinking messily, and gradually became restless. His wife, a devout believer, went to the Buddhist temple in the east of the city with her young son to burn incense and pray for blessings the other day, but she did not return until the evening. Rao is Gui Yong's military affairs are busy, and he also senses that something is wrong, so he sends his servants to the Buddhist temple and the surrounding area to search carefully, but finds nothing. It was when he was sweating and decided to tell his boss to search the city, when he suddenly found a small note next to the case, which made him immediately happy, angry and worried - "Ling Zheng and Ling Lang are safe and sound." Three days later, he came to visit. If you want to report to the official for investigation, your relatives may have accidents. ”

So Gui Yong naturally tightened his tone, and announced to the public that his wife and children had secretly sneaked out of the city and went to live temporarily at his father-in-law's house in the countryside. It was easy to survive to this day, he took leave early and returned home, his heart was full of anger and anxiety, he couldn't wait to see what kind of thief he dared to kidnap the military family. But from the afternoon until the early days of the lanterns, he himself ran to the door to look several times, but he did not see a man and a woman coming, which was really anxious.

When the patience was about to be exhausted, the soldiers ran to him and said, "General! A man from outside the door asked to see him, saying that he had made an appointment with the general......"

Before the soldiers finished speaking, Gui Yong had already jumped up and urged as if he had been burned by fire: "Quick! Hurry! Bring it in! ”

After a while, a person came in from outside the study. Gui Yong hurriedly took a look: a thin face, high cheekbones, usual appearance, looking like a little squire and the like.

Gui Yong told his soldiers that there should be no disturbance without orders, and ordered them to go out quickly. As soon as the door was closed, Gui Yong could no longer suppress the anxiety and anger in his heart, stepped forward and grabbed the neck of the visitor, and hissed with spittle: "Who are you?" Where are my wife and son now? …… If you hurt half of their hair, Lao Tzu will tear you apart with his own hands and feed it to the dogs! ”

The man couldn't help but have no fear, but said with a strange smile: "The contemptible surname is Niu, General Gui don't worry!" Mrs. Zun and Ling Lang, the contemptible people have already explained to their subordinates and placed them in a good place, without worrying about food and clothing, but for the sake of safety, they are a little more careful in their actions. ”

Mr. Niu slowly pushed away Gui Yong's hand, dusted off his crumpled placket, and said slowly: "Of course, when it comes to safety, it also depends on whether General Gui is willing to cooperate with us!" If General Gui resolutely refuses to cooperate, then your family ...... Hehe. ”

Gui Yongqiang resisted the urge to fight each other, gritted his teeth and roared: "You say! What do you want me to cooperate? ”
