Just when several people were competing with each other, Liu Qi suddenly heard a report from his own soldiers, saying that Fanqin was escorting the grain, grass, ordnance and 10,000 reinforcements brought from Jiangling County.

Liu Qi was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly greeted Fanqin with Xu Shu and others.

"Haha, Huber, you've worked hard these days, if you didn't go back and forth, our army wouldn't be able to support it until now, especially Wen Ze and Xingba, the reason why the two of their armies were able to gain a firm foothold in Yuannan was all because of the grain and grass you transported back and forth, and you were also a great contributor to protecting my Yuannan."

Liu Qi took Fanqin's hand, looked at Fanqin's weathered face, and said with emotion.

Fanqin said respectfully: "This is what the last general should do, the general is fighting bloodily on the front line, and it is really not easy to fight to the death." Alas, it's just a pity that there is a bunch of people, alas. After Fanqin finished speaking, he shook his head slowly, and he didn't want to say anything.

"Oh? Huber's words seem to mean something, so you might as well say it and listen to it. Liu Qi blinked his eyes and said strangely.

"No." Fanqin respectfully agreed, and then said helplessly: "The general doesn't know, this time the last general went to Jiangling to transport materials, that General Zhang Yun deliberately made things difficult, and only gave half of the grain and grass to the last general, and the weapons and ordnance were only sixty percent. By the way, the last general also heard that the assassination of the general in Huarong Road and the robber Zhang Hu he met later when crossing the river were all at the behest of Zhang Yun, and I heard that Zhang Yun also sent a reinforcement general, in the name of supporting the general, in fact, to assassinate the general. ”

A gleam flashed in Liu Qi's eyes, and he asked in a deep voice, "Does Uncle Hubert have any evidence to prove that Zhang Yun sent someone to assassinate the general in Huarong Dao?" ”

Fanqin pulled Liu Qi to the side, stuffed a ribbon in Liu Qi's hand, and whispered: "The last general stole a unique green silk ribbon from a personal soldier in Zhang Yunjun's army, and there was a small character 'Zhang' engraved on it, which is exactly the same as the assassin found by the general on Huarong Road before, so it can be seen that the assassin is Zhang Yun's cronies." ”

"In addition," Fanqin took a breath, took out a piece of silk book from his arms, and said to Liu Qi: "The last general also used a lot of money to bribe a secretary of Zhang Yunjun's army, and got this secret letter from him, which was a secret order for Zhang Yun to secretly mobilize Zhang Hu to the river to intercept and kill the general, it turned out that this thief had already been secretly bought by Zhang Yun, and supported him to continue to rob the passing merchants, and then shared the interests with him equally, in order to protect his own interests, that Zhang Yun sent a letter to Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu, asking him not to interfere in Zhang Hu's affairs, Huang Zu's brother Huang Chengyan is related to Cai Mao, so he naturally knows that Zhang Yun is Cai Mao's party, so he turns a blind eye to Zhang Hu. ”

"It turns out that there is such a thing, I said, how did Zhang Tiger Thief know that Ben General was crossing the river at that time? And that Zhang Yun and Huang Zu didn't even care about Zhang Hu, it turned out that they were a raccoon dog, hum, Zhang Yun, you have repeatedly framed me, do you really think that I, Liu Qi, am easy to bully? After the attack on Changsha, I will immediately order someone to pacify Zhang Hu and thief, capture him alive, and force him to confess to you Zhang Yun, and see what else you have to say at that time? ”

Liu Qi's eyes flashed with a thick murderous intent, and he said hatefully.

Liu Qi paused for a moment, and then asked, "Uncle Hugh, do you have any evidence for Zhang Yunke's detention of our army's food and grass equipment?" ”

I only heard Fanqin say: "Here are the documents for the last general to hand over the grain and grass with Cangcao, and the last general knew that the matter was big, so he didn't abandon it casually." ”

After finishing speaking, he gave the pile of silk books to Liu Qi.

Liu Qi patted Fanqin's shoulder and said: "Huber did a good job, you go down and rest, every one will be dealt with, hum, Zhang Yun dares to do this, I'm afraid he is not far from death." ”

After Fanqin went to rest, Liu Qi immediately found Xu Shu and asked Xu Shu to help come up with ideas to disrupt the 10,000 reinforcements sent by Zhang Yun, so as to save them from making trouble for themselves at a critical moment.

Xu Shu thought for a while, and said softly: "According to what the general said before, Zhang Yun can send 10,000 reinforcements, among which there will be his henchmen and soldiers, who want to be unfavorable to the general, the general only needs to take strict precautions against these military officials, naturally there is nothing to do, it just so happens that the enemy army has sent two military horses, five military marquis, and a hundred Du Bo, those Du Bo basically don't need to be considered, as long as we control the two military horses and five military marquis in the place, we can completely control the entire army, and now the most important thing is that as long as we select one or two of them to be promoted, And then show affection for them, and they will inevitably fight among themselves because of mutual suspicion, so that the situation is completely under our control. ”

"Hehe, the military advisor has a clever plan, I will gather these seven senior military officials."

After Liu Qi finished speaking, he ordered Liu Shi to summon the two military horses and five military marquis in the army.

After a while, I saw seven young generals in the tent, and they bowed respectfully to Liu Qi, and then said, "Meet the eldest prince." ”

But Liu Qi clearly heard that there were two people who were called differently, and what they said was: "Meet the general." ”

Liu Qi pointed to the two and said, "What are the surnames of the two of you?" Who are they? ”

I saw one of the fair-faced military officials say: "General Qiyu, the last general's name is Chen Zhen, the word filial piety, a native of Nanyang." ”

And the sturdy military official with a slightly dark face said: "The last general's name is Deng Zhi, the word Bo Miao, and the new savage of Nanyang. ”

"What? Chen Zhen, Deng Zhi? Liu Qi was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect Zhang Yun to send 10,000 reinforcements casually, and there were two important ministers in the history of Shu Han in them, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart, but he still suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked flatly: "Just now others said that they would be the eldest prince, but why are the two of you alone called the general?" ”

But I saw that the two of them said in unison: "Now it is in the army, not in Xiangyang County, and the last general is naturally called a general according to the rules of the army." ”

"Okay, the two of you have a clear distinction between public and private, you are really good people, Chen Zhen obeys orders, and I will worship you as the captain of the thief; Deng Zhi obeyed the order, this will worship you as the captain of the police and thieves, and order your commander General Zhang sent this 10,000 army to fight in Changsha with this general, I don't know if the two of you can have the confidence to pacify Zhang Xian's thieves and return the peaceful life of the people of Jingzhou? ”

Chen Zhen and Deng Zhi glanced at each other, and immediately bowed: "The last general is willing to pacify the thieves for the general and settle my Jingzhou." ”

"Okay, please come with me, both of you. By the way, the five of you will be divided into two groups in the future, and they will obey the orders of Chen Duwei and Deng Duwei respectively, and after the capture of Changsha, you will be rewarded according to the meritorious service. You go back and rest first, and you are going to arrange for the generals to celebrate with the two new captains, and then tomorrow you will gather the army and attack the city together. ”

Liu Qi ordered someone to send the two military horses and the three military marquis away, but he pulled Deng Zhi and Chen Zhen to the front, ordered someone to buy wine, and instructed Liu Shi to invite all the other generals to celebrate the two.

After Liu Shi left, Liu Qi retreated from the crowd again, leaving only Liu Qi, Deng Zhi and Chen Zhen in the tent, and then suddenly said: "What do you two say, did you come to assassinate the general on the order of Zhang Yun?" ”

Chen Zhen and Deng Zhi glanced at each other, then bowed to the ground, and said calmly: "The general's expectation is good, the last general is indeed on the order of General Zhang, but after the two generals came to Jingnan, they saw that the general's army was strict and orderly, and the discipline of the three armies was strict, and they admired it in their hearts, and they did not dare to have a bad heart. ”

Liu Qi picked up the second general and said with a smile: "The general knows that the two are loyal and righteous people, how can they kill the talents of the pillars of the country because of trivial things?" The two of them are invited, as long as the two of them will follow the general in the future, protect the world, and make immortal contributions, this will definitely be rewarded, so that the two will not only be crowned wives and sons, but also able to leave a name in history. ”

Chen Zhen and Deng Zhi immediately said respectfully: "The general treats the last general so leniently, how dare the last general not do his best to assist the general?" ”

"Hahaha, I have to be filial to Bo Miao, why worry about the great cause? However, when the two go back this time, the other people will definitely be dissatisfied, and may even cause chaos because of this, and the two need to cooperate with the general to perform a good play. Now that the siege of the city is imminent, the general cannot miss the national affairs because of a few people. ”

Chen Zhen and Deng Zhi glanced at each other, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Please also ask the general for guidance, and the general will obey the order." ”

"Okay, you wait until you go back, just do this and that, I will definitely cooperate with you to perform this play." Liu Qi smiled and said a few words into the ear of the second general.

The second general nodded when he heard this, and said solemnly: "Please rest assured that the general will definitely live up to his mission." After that, he saw Deng Zhi hesitate for a moment, and then said: "It's just that Du Bo Xiang Chong under the account of Sima Zhang Shun of the Left Army was confused by Zhang Yun, he is Xiang Lang's younger brother, and his brother Xiang Lang studied under Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui, and also has a friendship with Mr. Xu, hoping that the general will spare his life when he is still young." ”

Liu Qi smiled and said: "It turned out to be Xiang Juda's brother, Ben Jiang promised you yes, but you have to stabilize this person in advance, the sword has no eyes, in case he doesn't know the current affairs and is injured by our soldiers, even if Xiang Juda comes in person, Ben General is helpless." ”

Deng Zhi was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you general, please rest assured, the general will definitely arrange Xiang Chong and never let him make trouble." ”

Liu Qi saw that things were arranged, and saw that Wei Yan, Xu Shu, Gan Ning, Yu Ban, Wang Cang, Fanqin and others also came to the outside of the tent, so he ordered a banquet, Liu Qi first introduced Chen Zhen and Deng Zhi to the generals, and then everyone accepted each other, and for a while, they were staggered and lively.

Since Chen Zhen and Deng Zhi were both civil and military, they were quite able to chat with both literati and military generals, and everyone had a good drink until midnight before they were let go.

But it was said that Chen Zhen and Deng Zhi returned to the tent, and suddenly saw Sima Zhang Shun of the Left Army, Sima Zhang Yu of the Right Army, and other military marquis Liu Can, Niu Chu, and Wang Heng, who came to Changsha with him, all looked at them coldly. Now that the two adults have become the favorite generals under the command of the eldest prince, they have already thrown our general's entrustment to Jiaozhi, right? ”
