After beheading Sima Ju, the three most unstable generals in the Taiping Army, Sima Ju, Xu He, Zhang Baiqi, only the latter two remained, if the three of them have the heart of disobedience and gather people to rebel, Guo Jia is afraid that he will fall into a place of no return, but Badong County is now taken over by Zhou Tai, with 20,000 troops, which happens to be able to deter Fuling County, which is adjacent to the south of Badong County, Zhang Baiqi is a conscription, at best, there are 20,000 people.

Zhang Baiqi of Fuling County is leisurely enjoying the dance in his own courtyard, there is always a faint smile on his rough face, and the warbler and swallow dance lightly in the courtyard, Zhang Baiqi looks at it with relish and is intoxicated.

The next person walked directly through the courtyard dancer crowd, and even stepped on the dance skirt of a dancer, bringing down a few people, and the pleasing dance was destroyed in an instant, and the chaos in the field made Zhang Baiqi furious, and he was just about to scold the man for not walking for a long time, plus he didn't understand the rules.

How hard is it to take a detour? Do you have to walk in the middle of the courtyard to destroy it?

But before he could scold angrily, his subordinates said to him in a panic: "General, the general was defeated in Jingzhou, and after withdrawing his troops back to Badong County, he killed General Sima!" ”

As if his head had exploded, Zhang Baiqi was dizzy, took two steps back in a hurry and helped the stone table in the hospital, stabilized his mind, waved his big hand, and motioned for those dancing girls to retreat. How many casualties? Why did you kill Sima Ju? ”

The subordinate shook his head and said, "I don't know the details, but the person who came to report the news confirmed that the general had indeed beheaded Sima Ju." ”

His mouth was dry, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he suddenly asked in a deep voice: "Is the person who reported the news Sima Ju's subordinate or the lord's man?" ”

The subordinate was stunned for a moment, and said blankly: "This, I don't know." ”

"Find out who the messenger is! Did Sima Ju's people escape from Padang County to report the news, or did the lord deliberately send someone to report the news! ”

Zhang Baiqi sat down on the stone bench, picked up the teacup and wanted to moisten his throat and suppress the shock, but his face turned hideous and he slammed the teacup on the ground.

If Sima Ju came down to report the news, then the matter would probably have been so bad that it would be difficult to protect itself.

If Guo Jia's people come to report the news, then the biggest possibility is a temptation.

At this moment, life hangs by a thread!

After the next person came back and showed that the person who came to report the news was a person who went out of Chengdu with Xu Shu, Zhang Baiqi breathed a sigh of relief, and then his face changed again, and he shouted to his subordinates with a hideous expression: "Return all the gifts received in the house to me!" Qin Wu's sister, Lao Tzu won't marry! Divorce! Then send someone to the barracks to recruit generals to come to the discussion! ”

Soon, Zhang Baiqi of Fuling County drew a clear line with the Yizhou Shi clan, and released the 3,000 recruits who had just been recruited, and even though he lived a comfortable life in Fuling County, he did not condone his subordinates to do evil, but he did not govern the army as hard as before.

In Jiangyang County, southeast of Chengdu, only separated by a Qianwei county from Chengdu, Xu He was furious when he learned of Guo Jia's defeat in Jingzhou and Sima Ju's death.

"Ahh Guo Jia child! Sima Ju and I went out of the same sect and made great contributions to your entry into Yizhou, and you can't kill anyone else! ”

In the Taishou Mansion of Jiangyang City, Xu He held a long knife and slashed and waved it indiscriminately, and the house that was still in order before was already in a mess.

Xu and his subordinates, who were born and died with him, were waiting for dispatch outside the Taishou Mansion, and the young man in front of the queue suddenly asked another richly dressed young man beside him, "Qin Wu, why did you say that the general wanted to kill General Sima?" ”

Qin Wu, Qin Mi's cousin, Qin Ye's second son.

Facing the question of Xu and his son, Qin Wu, who was pure and pure, said loudly: "The general made two mistakes, first, the general wanted to eradicate dissidents, but he didn't see clearly who was loyal and who was annihilated, Sima Ju and General Xu were loyal to the general, and made a decisive contribution to the general's foundation today, which can be said to be a sacrifice of life and death, this merit and loyalty, but the general turned a blind eye!" Second, the general failed to attack Jingzhou and returned home, and there must be a difficult anger in his heart, but he was reluctant to take Xu Chu Dianwei and other generals out of anger, but he killed General Sima, which shows that the general has a deep prejudice against General Sima and General Xu, and even to the point of killing heroes in vain! ”

After saying this, Qin Wu bowed his hand to the main hall of the Taishou Mansion and said aloud: "General Xu, you should immediately hand over the military power and let Chengdu send another general to guard Jiangyang, so that maybe General Xu and your family can still die well." ”

Xu He, who had already put on his armor, walked out of the lobby with firm steps, his face was grim, and Xu He, who had a frosty face, raised the big knife in his hand, and roared angrily at the soldiers in the courtyard: "Guo Jia is ungrateful!" He forgot who allowed him to get out of Taihang Mountain! He forgot who helped him defeat Yizhou! The great sage and mentor asked me Xu He to take refuge in Guo Jia, that was in the hope that Guo Jia could let the people of Taiping Dao live a peaceful and happy life, but Sima Ju was killed by Guo Jia, will it be me Xu He next? The generals listened to the order, returned to the camp and gathered troops and horses, day and night, and followed me into Chengdu! ”

The generals clenched their fists neatly to receive their orders, Xu He walked out with steps, stopped when he passed by Qin Wu, turned around and looked at Qin Wu, and said sharply: "Qin Wu!" If I capture Chengdu and embrace your Qin family as the new lord of Yizhou, can the Qin family treat the Yellow Turban soldiers well? ”

Qin Wu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How can I be in the Qin family?" How can you be the master of Yizhou? ”

A trace of contempt flashed in Xu He's eyes, but he continued to ask, "Then your Qin family is willing to help me?" ”

At this time, Qin Wu calmed down and said calmly: "The wealthy clans in Jiangyang County are the only ones who are looking forward to the general's horse, but they can raise volunteers to follow the general to crusade against the traitor Guo Jia, and the general will send troops from Jiangyang, I will immediately send someone to inform the elders in the family, the Guanghan clan will definitely be willing to help the general, and when the time comes, the north and south will attack, and the defenders of Chengdu will be less than 10,000 people, and the general will be able to succeed immediately. ”

Xu He stared at Qin Wu for a long time, staring at those sincere eyes, and couldn't see a trace of evasion, Xu He retracted his gaze and walked away.

Just behind Xu He, Qin Wu showed a hint of an intriguing smile.

Guanghan County north of Chengdu also quickly got the news, before and after Guo Jiadong's expedition to Jingzhou, the Qin family has been paying attention to the development of the situation, for the Qin family, they actually hope that Guo Jia will take Jingzhou, because once Jingzhou is included in Guo Jia's territory of power, it will inevitably confront the Kwantung princes head-on, at that time, the Qin family can contact the noble clans of various places to welcome foreign princes to replace Guo Jia, but they do not know Guo Jia's strategic intentions of this expedition, just to defeat Xiangyang and Jiangxia, and there is no intention of defending the two places, As long as the Kwantung princes raise troops to attack, Guo Jia will definitely retreat back to Yizhou, but instead use Jingzhou as a bait to provoke the Kwantung princes to fight each other, but people are not as good as heaven, Guo Jia returned home, and the Qin family did not expect that Guo Jia would not be able to take an ownerless Jingzhou, but Guo Jia did something that surprised them.

"Big brother, Wu'er sent a secret report that Guo Jia killed Sima Ju of Badong County on the way to withdraw his troops, and now Xu He of Jiangyang County is already on his way to Chengdu! Let's also hurry up and gather the Guanghan clan and go south to Chengdu! ”

Qin Cheng held the secret report sent by Qin Wu, and ran to his eldest brother Qin Ye with an excited face, Qin Ye closed his eyes and stroked his beard and thought for a long time, then suddenly opened his eyes and said gloomily: "Okay! Immediately lead the clan Xiangyong and attack Chengdu with Xu and the north and south! In addition, let people incite Zhang Baiqi of Fuling County to chase and kill Guo Jia on the way back to Chengdu! The clans of the other counties, you also have to send someone to contact quickly, we will put Guo Jia to death in one fell swoop!" ”

The Guanghan clan began to act, informing the wealthy clans, contacting the village Yong, and raising volunteers together, intending to overthrow Guo Jia in one fell swoop.

And Qin Mi's father also wanted to respond to the eldest brother and second brother at the first time, but was stopped by Qin Mi.

"Father, please, child, don't go! This is self-defeating! ”

Qin Mi's father didn't understand, and when he saw Qin Mi's worried and earnest look, he asked in wonder: "At this time, there is a God-given opportunity, Guo Jia's generals have all rebelled, plus the clans in various places headed by my Qin family, and the defenders of less than 10,000 people in Chengdu, can't they succeed?" ”

Holding his father's arm, he didn't let him go out to follow the rebellion, Qin Mi earnestly persuaded: "Father, if you can't capture Chengdu, everyone who rebels will definitely die!" This is not as simple as the last confrontation with Guo Jia in Guanghan, this is a rebellion, according to the law, it is to raze the three clans! After conquering Chengdu, who will rule Yizhou? Will Guo Jia's generals tolerate the Qin family? Okay, even if my Qin family becomes the new lord of Yizhou, can I convince the public? The noble clans of all over the country respect my Qin family, and that is all superficial, but as long as it is about interests, they will not have a trace of awe for the Qin family. ”

Seeing the hesitation on his father's face, Qin Mi struck while the iron was hot.

"Father, think about it again, to the north of Guanghan, Gan Ning led 30,000 Jin Fan troops to repair and expand the Sword Pavilion Road, if he leads the army to rescue Chengdu, can we stop it? Further north, will Zhang Liao and his 50,000-strong army in Hanzhong sit idly by and watch Chengdu fall? Taking 10,000 steps back, Guo Jia is dead, and his generals support their own troops and sit back and watch the victory or defeat in Chengdu, but so what? Sun Jian killed Jingzhou Mu and several counties Taishou, Jingzhou fell into turmoil, the thieves made a rebellion, now said that if Yizhou becomes a borderless land, the wealthy clans around the country must take the opportunity to seek personal gain, at that time, the first to bear the brunt of the suffering is the people of Yizhou, and then, it is the Yizhou Shi clan, on the private soldiers and family slaves, the Shi clan is far from the local tyrants and the people, this rebellion, success and failure, the Qin family is heavy and exterminated, and it is also a big injury to the vitality, why bother? ”

Qin Mi's father drooped his head and followed Qin Mi back to the house, closed the door of the mansion, and refused to see guests, no matter how the other clans made trouble, Qin Mi always refused to participate in it, and there was another reason in his heart that he did not say.

If he guessed correctly, Guo Jia wanted the Yizhou Shi clan to give him a reason to wield the butcher knife.

Lure the snake out of the hole!
