162 The infighting of the Western Liang Army (I)
The conversation between Lu Bu and Xu Shu has always been quite open and honest, and after the upper and lower names are determined, the content of the discussion is even more unscrupulous.
What Xu Shu asked was the text that Yuan Shao questioned the bloodline of today's son Liu Xie, and the rumors that the Queen Mother and King Hongnong were poisoned afterwards.
Lu Bu replied without hesitation: "When this matter was in Luoyang, he had many discussions with Wang Situ and his staff Min Gong, and later with Mr. Jia, and it is basically certain that Yuan Shao's move was intended to use the hands of the hussar general Li Dao to get rid of the Empress Dowager He and King Hongnong, which could arouse the public anger in the world; Second, to facilitate his support for the establishment of the Great Sima Liu Yu......"
"Huh?! Yuan Benchu still has such intentions? ”
Lu Bu was not surprised by this, Yuan Shao had the dazzling halo of the fourth and third princes on his head, and he was well-known at home and abroad, and his reputation was extremely high.
Just a little tidying up his thoughts, Lu Bu immediately talked about the content, which was not only secret, but also the credible part after bold speculation and careful verification, and the part of pure speculation.
Of course, Xu Shu is a wise man in the world, with outstanding intelligence, but he has never been out of office, and all he can know are some rumors that have been circulated among the people, from different sources, and when you pass on me and I pass on you, there are many omissions and additions, so it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and Lu Bu said many personal experiences, or from other people's personal experiences, naturally not the same.
The night breeze blew unhurriedly, bringing the fragrance into the distance, and Lu Bu and Xu Shu talked while eating and drinking, which can be described as talking about everything, saying everything, and not noticing the new moon sinking in the west.
The open-air banquet here is harmonious, and the grand feast in the Luoyang Hussar General's Mansion is held. At this moment, the atmosphere is gradually becoming solemn.
The hussar general Li Dao resigned himself to the main seat, his face was gloomy at the moment, his angry face appeared, on the left and right, respectively, the general Guo Tai of the cavalry and the general of Zhengdong Guo Yan, and the left and right sides were lined up, all of them were the generals in the Xiliang army.
The first place on the left is Fan Chou, who led the army to garrison Mengjin, and his face is quite ugly at the moment, and he looks a little angry. First place on the right. It was Hua Xiong, who led the army to garrison the Tiger Pass, but he looked calm, as if the solemn atmosphere in the banquet had nothing to do with him.
The rest is Duan Xuan. Hu Zhen, Han Xian. Yang Feng. Yang Ding, Wang Fang's generals, and some of the newly promoted people were mostly relatives of the hussar general Li Dao and the Zhengdong general Guo Yan, Li Dao's nephew Hu Feng, and his eldest son Li Shi. nephews Li Li and Li Xian, younger brothers Li Ying and Li Heng; Guo Yan's younger brother Guo Zheng, general Wu Xi, etc.
Because of this, the generals of Xiliang are quite unwelcome to see these people. Especially Fan Chou and Hu Zhen, who were under the account of Taiwei Dong Zhuo back then, both in terms of official positions and status, were above Li Dao Guo Yan, but now they are not only far away from Li Dao Guo Yan, but also inferior to the newly emerging Hu Feng, Guo Zheng and others.
What makes them even more unbearable is the treatment of the various departments, there is a difference between inside and outside, the various departments stationed in the passes around Luoyang, most of the years ago in the Great War of the Kwantung Coalition Army, finally in place after the New Year, it was originally a good thing, but compared with the departments stationed in Luoyang, a good thing has become a bad thing.
Fang Cai, it was Fan Chou who took the lead in making trouble, and when he mentioned this matter, he made the hussar general Li Dao furious.
In the hall, there was a dead silence, and the atmosphere became more and more solemn.
Hua Xiong'an sat behind the desk, looking nothing, but he really felt some emotion in his heart, when Lu Bu, the general of the expedition to the north, led the army back to the north, someone sent him a secret letter, saying that there were many internal contradictions in the Xiliang army, so that once Luoyang could not stay for a long time, he would go north to Taiyuan to find him.
Now it seems that only a few months have passed, and the contradictions within the Xiliang Army have really intensified to such a semi-open level.
At this time, what Hua Xiong was thinking about in his heart was whether he should really seriously consider Luoyang now, and if he stayed, there was really no future.
Just when Hua Xiong was pondering, he heard the voice of the chariot general Guo Tai sounded: "Hussar generals, everyone, and dissipate the gas first, if the imperial treasury is full, all the food and salary can be paid in full, but now, the new cast plant money has just been put in, and the progress is not good, so the food and salary of all departments must be considerate of the difficulties of the imperial court......"
Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Guo just paused for a moment, and Hu Zhen interjected first: "The court has difficulties, and we can understand it, but now that the food and salary of various departments are insufficient, and the soldiers are clamoring day by day, the court should also understand our difficulties." ”
"Exactly!" Fan Chou's loud voice was together, and in the entire hall, only his voice could be heard, and his eyes seemed to sweep over the faces of Hu Feng, Li Xian and others intentionally or unintentionally, echoing the voice, "When the imperial court can't defend the pass and resist the enemy, it only thinks of us, and when the food is paid, it can't remember me ......waiting."
"Presumptuous!"
Everyone was stunned, and it was not the hussar general Li Dao who reprimanded him, but the cavalry commander Hu Feng.
Even the hussar general Li Dao was slightly stunned on his face, but it disappeared in a flash, and he nodded slightly to Hu Feng imperceptibly to show his praise and appreciation.
Seeing this, Hu Feng became more courageous, stood up suddenly, condescendingly, and continued to reprimand: "East out of the Tiger Prison Pass, to resist the rebellion in the Kwantung region, it is the hussar general who personally led the army, tossed and turned, and successively defeated Sun Jian, Yuan Shu, Li Min, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others, this is the peace of the court today, on merit, the hussar general is great, but the court's reward has not been awarded so far, that is, the hussar general thinks that the imperial treasury is empty, and first takes into account the rewards and food needs of the ministry. ”
Speaking of this, Hu Feng's fingers trembled a little, and he didn't leave Fan Chou and Hu Zhen, and his voice rose sharply, and he said: "It's just that you don't care for the imperial court, so dare to be so arrogant, under the pretext that the soldiers are clamoring, coercing the hussar generals, the chariot generals, and the Zhengdong generals!" But do you intend to start a mutiny? ”
Hu Feng said these words righteously, and the charges were extremely serious.
At any time, in any army, mutiny is a capital crime without forgiveness, once the accusation is established, not to mention Fan Chou and Hu Zhen, even the two lieutenant generals and colonels, as well as the two people here, must also be careful.
Sure enough, not only Fan Chou and Hu Zhen's faces changed immediately, but even Duan Xuan, Yang Ding and Wang Fang, old generals of Xiliang, also changed their faces greatly, even Hua Xiong was suddenly moved.
Guy realized that Hu Feng had such courage to openly accuse Fan Chou and Hu Zhen, but he could accuse Fan Chou and Hu Zhen of intending to mutiny, without the instruction of the hussar general Li Wei, or hinting at it in his daily words and deeds, Hu Feng categorically did not dare to make such a blatant accusation.
After Hu Feng finished speaking, he still stood there, while Fan Chou and Hu Zhen were so angry that they turned to stare at him directly, and did not make a sound to argue.
Hua Xiong sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that if Hu Feng accused him, he would probably not get up to refute it at this time, except for being angry.
After a long while, Fan Chou slowly got up, turned to Li Dao and the three of them, and said with dignity: "Hussar General, Che Cavalry General, Zhengdong General, Fan has been loyal and diligent since he served under Dong Gong's account, and now, he has been so slandered by Hu Duwei, who can bear it and who can't bear it, today Fan Mou doesn't please the court A statement, he can no longer lead the troops with peace of mind!" ”
Not only Fan Chou, but Hu Zhen was also angry, together with the others, looked at the hussar general Li Dao and the three, but never thought that at this moment, Hu Feng's yin and yang strange voice sounded again: "The court's statement, but General Fan should give the court an explanation!" ”
"You!" Fan Chou was furious, turned around suddenly, pointed his finger at Hu Feng, and said angrily: "When Fan was under the account of Dong Gong, he served Dong Gong with the hussar general and the general of Zhengdong, you were not even a small colonel, and you dared to be so ...... today."
"Presumptuous!"
I never thought that Hu Feng's voice was louder than Fan Chou's, and his momentum was even stronger than him, his fingers pointed more arrogantly, and he scolded: "Dong Zhuo is dead, and now he is in charge of the hussar general, you keep saying Dong Gong Dong Gong, what's the matter, but do you want to use Dong Zhuo to suppress the hussar general!" ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Fan Chou and Hu Zhen laughed angrily, but Hua Xiong and others showed their angry faces, even Guo Yan, the general of Zhengdong, and Li Dao, the hussar general, also had a bad face.
Anyway, Dong Zhuo was also the commander of the generals of Xiliang here, even if Dong Zhuo is dead now, the people of the world are also condemning Dong Zhuo, but after all, he is the commander of everyone, the former boss, how can Hu Feng be so disrespectful.
Fan Chou turned around, looked at Li Dao and the three of them again, and laughed angrily: "Hu Feng is so rampant, Fan has never seen it before......"
"Be careful!"
Before Fan Chou finished speaking, he heard someone exclaim, and before he realized it, he suddenly heard a gust of wind behind him, his back was like a mang, and even the cold hair stood up suddenly, just because he felt that the danger was approaching.
But this is the Hussar General's Mansion, and everyone is a general of the Xiliang Army, so where is the danger.
Although Fan Chou thought so, the reaction under his hand was only slightly stagnant, that is, it returned to normal, not low at all, and when he turned around, he wanted to raise his leg to cross the desk, but when he jumped in the air, his waist suddenly hurt, and he couldn't help but let out a long scream, twisted his waist, successfully stepped over the desk, and landed on the open ground.
As soon as he turned around, he caught a glimpse of Hu Feng holding a sharp blade, following him, and rushing into his arms like a gust of wind, and the sharp blade also fluttered and pierced into his chest.
From beginning to end, he didn't expect that Hu Feng would dare to make a bold move, and when he entered the Hussar General's Mansion, the blades carried by everyone were not allowed to be brought in, so where did the sharp blades in Hu Feng's hands come from?
It's just that as soon as Fan Chou's heart had such a thought, his consciousness began to blur, and even the sharp pain in his chest and waist seemed to be unfelt at the moment, but he slowly raised his head and stared at Hu Feng's face that was close at hand, and he couldn't tell who it was and what the expression on his face was.
Rumble!
As Hu Feng let go, Fan Chou's majestic body fell back and fell heavily on the ground. At this time, there was a real dead silence in the hall, and everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.
After a long time, there was a loud bang, Hua Xiong turned his head, and saw the hussar general Li Dao shooting the case, he was furious, and he was stunned: "What will the hussar general do with Hu Feng?" (To be continued......)
