Chapter 278: Betrayal (Five Watches Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"It's so good, remember, you don't know about this matter, after all, that Li Liang is also Sima of Liangzhou Yingyang Mansion, and he is also a colleague, this person is also loyal to the court, and he can't chill the hearts of loyal ministers." Yu Wenshi's face was much gloomy, and he said, "Remember that you haven't seen me today. Got it? After Yu Wenshi finished his instructions, he turned around and left. Ignoring Xue Ju behind him.

"Hehe, Dadu Governor, it's not me Xue Ju who wants your life, in fact, it's the people of the court who want your life. Li Liang is really lucky, let's see what you do this time? After Yu Wenshi left, Xue Ju snorted coldly. Both sides are not fools, Yuwen Shi and just want to sue Xue Ju, you can't leave any evidence when you do things, such a big thing, even if it is unnecessary, if Yu Wenshi and if he were on Li Xin's side, he would definitely help Li Xin confirm this matter, but Yu Wenshi and no, which let Xue Ju know the result that Yu Wenshi and these people wanted. As an ambitious Xue Ju, he didn't want to live this kind of life for a long time. Li Liang's arrival gave him a chance, but Yu Wenshi and it was he who tested the imperial court's thoughts on Li Xin. In his opinion, the emperor's majesty sent Yu Wenshi and to come, which was itself a distrust of Li Xin, and sure enough, after a little temptation, Yu Wenshi and he revealed his original form, and he got the answer he wanted, of course, as for the temptation, Li Liang's fate made him abandon it.

"Brother Xue, how is it?" Xue Ju quickly found the residence of Li Rail and others in Lanzhou, and it was not very difficult for him, a local snake, to find Li Rail. As soon as he entered the door, Li Liang couldn't wait to ask. Xue Ju glanced at Li Rail, but found that there were still outsiders in Li Rail's room, so he immediately stopped talking.

"Oh, wait for the junior brother and Brother Xue to introduce me, these are my fellow villagers, Cao Zhen, Guan Jin, Liang Shuo, Li Yun, An Xiuren." Li Liang saw Xue Ju's doubts, and immediately explained with a smile: "These people are friends with me in life and death. Everyone didn't like Li Xin, so they gathered together, and Brother Xue could trust them as if he believed me. ”

"Xue Ju has seen you." Xue Ju nodded, and glanced at everyone, among these people, they were either powerful and powerful, or polite, obviously either samurai or strategists, thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, Li Liang had already run this kind of Cheng in Liangzhou. The strength under his command is far above himself, he used to have Zong Luohu, and now Zong Luohu regards himself as an enemy, with the arrival of Li Xin, the strength of Xue Ju's subordinates has also fallen apart. Even Li Liang is far above himself.

"General Xue is here, presumably he has made a decision, I don't know what General Xue thinks?"

Xue Ju recognized that the other party was one of Li Liang's masterminds, called An Xiuren, and shook his head at the moment. said: "Lanzhou is different from Liangzhou, Lanzhou is where Li Xin's base camp is located, and most of the soldiers and horses under Li Jing's command are gathered here, you won't think that those mercenaries are really mercenaries!" Tell you the truth. Li Jing has long held those mercenaries firmly in his hands, even if there are occasional rebellions, but these mercenaries will definitely exceed 50,000 people, if I respond to you in Lanzhou. That's self-defeating. ”

"That's not necessary, in the final analysis, we just want Li Xin to break his foundation. Once we occupy Liangzhou, Li Xin's grain and grass will have problems. In order to open Li Xin's grain road, Li Jing will definitely gather a large army to conquer Liangzhou, hehe, General Xue, you are very prestigious among the Qiang people, even if the Qiang people can't do it, I can also go to Tuyuhun, use Tuyuhun's soldiers and horses to resist Li Jing's attack, the general can start an incident in Lanzhou, in this way, not only Li Xin's soldiers and horses will have problems, but also Li Jing, who loses the support of grain and grass, tens of thousands of troops must fall apart, so that the general can easily occupy Lanzhou. Now the court is troubled, as long as the general writes to the Son of Heaven to explain, I think the Son of Heaven will not do anything to the general? An Xiuren said with a smile.

"Not bad." Xue Ju was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect Li Liang to have this kind of plan, not only to cut off Li Xin's grain and grass, but also to completely occupy Liangzhou, what is Tuyuhun, that is the enemy of the Great Sui, Yang Guang once personally conscripted, but I didn't expect An Xiuren to propose it today, to ask Tuyuhun to make a move, but think about it carefully, only in this way can you completely occupy the entire Liangzhou and trap Li Xin in the Western Regions, and the court whip is beyond reach, and it takes a certain amount of time to deal with everyone.

"I want to congratulate General Xue! Look at today's Lanzhou, but it is a famous and rich place in the northwest! With the foundation laid by Li Xin's painstaking efforts, Brother Xue will be much easier than me in the future. Look at this inn, there is an inn, and the furnishings in it are extraordinary! Li Liang glanced around and said with a smile: "If Li Xin is stationed in Liangzhou first, and Liangzhou is run like this, I will be much easier in the future." ”

"If he didn't have the ability, how could the emperor agree to let Li Xin run the Western Regions? Even Master Pei is also his deputy. Xue Ju nodded, although he hated Li Xin very much, but he had to admit that Li Xin's policies in Lanzhou were indeed rich in the whole of Lanzhou, especially the policies such as commercial taxes, and even made a lot of silver money hidden in Lanzhou's treasury, so that all the facilities in Lanzhou have been improved, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the appearance of a prosperous era, these are all related to Li Xin, but unfortunately, such people have offended too many people and damaged too many interests.

"With General Xue's participation, I believe that our affairs will be successful." After Li Liang heard this, he said very proudly: "Come, everyone, please!" For the sake of our great cause, everyone drinks this cup to the full. ”

"Please." Xue Ju looked around, and countless thoughts turned in his heart in an instant, and finally his face showed a relaxed look, and he talked with Li Liang and others about some precautions, how to respond, how to raise troops, etc., and everyone was very happy to talk.

It's just that what they don't know is that there is a saying that the wall has ears, and what they don't know is that Li Xin's actions in Lanzhou are not as many as they seem. What I don't know is Li Xin from later generations, maybe he is not as good as these old bureaucrats in politics, but in military affairs, some things are much ahead of his time, and the importance of intelligence has reached a certain point. There is an inn that is naturally part of Jinyiwei, and local Haoqiang like Li Rail and Xue Ju are part of Jinyiwei's key monitoring, and the two have a secret conversation here, which has attracted the attention of Jinyiwei.

"What did you say?" Du Ruhui was in his own mansion, and it was Shen Jin who was kneeling in front of him, Du Ruhui looked at Shen Jin in front of him with a gloomy face and said: "Li Liang really decided to make a move on the Metropolitan Governor and cut off the grain and grass of the Metropolitan Governor?" ”

"It should be like this, it's just that the subordinates and others didn't get close to each other, and the subordinates also knew that Xue Ju had also gone in." Shen Jin didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "But whether Xue Ju is involved or not, his subordinates don't know. ”

"Xue Ju and Li Liang, one is in Lanzhou and the other is in Liangzhou, if these two people really unite, it will be a fatal blow to the Dadu Governor, especially Liangzhou. Li Liang must not stay here. Where is General Li Jing? When will you be back? Du Ruhui hurriedly said.

"General Li Jing went to burn Dangqiang, and there should be three days before he can come back." Shen Jin hurriedly said.

"Go to General Li Jing immediately and ask him to lead the army and seize Liangzhou first." Du Ruhui thought about it and said loudly. Regardless of whether Li Liang had the intention of rebelling or not, Liangzhou must fall into the hands of Li Xin, otherwise, Li Xin's back road will be cut off, and the Western Regions Protectorate will suffer heavy losses.

"My lord, Ying Yanglang said that Xue Ju had an urgent matter and asked to see my lord." At this time, outside the hall, a soldier said loudly.

Du Ruhui was stunned when he heard this, glanced at Shen Jin, asked him to hide behind, and let people ambush the sword and axe hands behind, once Xue Ju made any moves, these knife and axe hands would jump out and kill Xue Ju.

"Please." After Du Ruhui waited for the sword and axe men to ambush him, he called Xue Ju in.

"The last general, Xue Ju, greets your lord." Xue Ju dressed in a strong suit, strode in, and said to Du Ruhui: "The last general got an important news, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he came to report to the lord." ”

"Oh, what news makes General Xue so nervous?" Du Ruhui looked at Xue Ju with some curiosity and said. Xue Ju and Li Rail had a secret conversation together, and the content of the secret conversation must have been how to deal with Li Xin, but what he didn't expect was that Li Rail on the front foot discussed with him to deal with Li Xin together, and he ran out on the back foot.

"Sima Li Liang of Liangzhou is ready to plot against the governor of the capital, raise troops in Liangzhou, cut off the grain road of the governor of the capital, this person is bold, and he dares to persuade the officials as an internal response, first cause trouble in Lanzhou, and provide him with opportunities, my lord, the villain first made a false deal with him, and the last general just dealt with this person, and did not dare to slack off, and came to report to the adult." Xue Ju didn't dare to slack off, and quickly lowered his head and smiled bitterly.

"Really?" Du Ruhui's eyes flickered, looking at Xue Ju, but he didn't expect that Xue Ju was not here to deal with himself, but to inform, this guy betrayed Li Liang in a blink of an eye. But is this person sincere? Even Du Ruhui himself is not sure. He glanced at Xue Ju seriously, and finally said: "However, Li Rail is also the official of the imperial court, and this official can't do anything to Li Rail because of your words, this official will investigate clearly, if Li Rail is really like this, when the metropolitan governor comes back, he will definitely reward the general!" ”

"This last general doesn't dare, the last general is a member of the Metropolitan Protectorate, this is what the last general should do." Xue Ju shook his head and said, "The Metropolitan Governor is related to my Northwest Protectorate, and I can't afford to lose anything." The subordinates thought that Li Liang had been ordered to come to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion for questioning, no matter what, they had to occupy Liangzhou first, lest Li Rail occupy Liangzhou and have an adverse impact on the Metropolitan Protectorate. ”

Du Ruhui looked at Xue Ju seriously, finally nodded, and said: "General Xue is really loyal to the Great Sui, or not, General Xue, lead 100 elite soldiers and horses, and immediately go to an inn to arrest Li Liang, there is no mistake." (To be continued......)
