Liangzhou, Wuwei.

"Lord, the Liang army withdrew from the Yu Pavilion, and the imperial court also sent an envoy to reward us with the gift of ten carts."

Xu He brought the information from the front to Zhu Zi, but there was no joy on his face.

This study is not large, but the items placed are very elegant. In the painting, there are mountains and rivers, and a small bridge courtyard. The handwriting in the book is crazy and smooth.

Few people can enter Zhu Zi's study, and few people know that Zhu Zi, the great master of the army, has mountains and rivers in addition to killing and conquest.

"Take it!"

Zhu Zi held the book in one hand and the preserved fruit in the other, but he just said these three words lightly, and there was no follow-up.

In the battle of Liang and Shu, Zhu Zi, who was an ally of Shu, was motionless, and he had no intention of recovering the lost territory. But after the Battle of Sanshiyuan, the Liang army took the initiative to withdraw and sent a reward from the imperial court.

After that, rumors spread in Liangzhou that Qin Yuan wanted to throw himself into Yang Xian, which caused panic.

Xu He believed in Qin Yuan's loyalty. Even if he was the opposite, it would be impossible for Qin Yuan to betray Zhu Zi. But the power of this rumor lies in the truth and falsehood.

Qin Feng did bring three thousand horsemen into Shu, but the problem was that those three thousand horsemen were Qin's subordinates, but they were also Liangzhou's army. Without Zhu Zi's order, but to help Yang Xian, as soon as this case is opened, there will be chaos in Liangzhou after that.

Once this problem is magnified, then it is Zhu Zi, and it is impossible to ignore it.

However, at the moment, Liangzhou is very quiet, at least on the surface. This matter is related to the entanglement between Zhu Zi and Qin Yuan, the No. 1 and No. 2 people in the Liangzhou Army, and no one dares to interfere.

"Lord, the Liang army has retreated, what should we do next?"

Zhu Zi seemed to be in high spirits, and his hand holding the preserved fruit stopped halfway, and when he heard Xu He's words, he raised his head.

"At this moment, there is a rumor circulating in Liangzhou, do you think Qin Yuan will betray me?"

"General Qin Yuan shouldn't be like this."

Xu He's back was suddenly covered with a layer of cold sweat, and Zhu Zi's words were asked very casually, but this was definitely not a casual thing. Xu He cherishes words like gold, because he understands that the less he says on this issue, the safer.

Zhu Zi smiled and put down the book in his hand.

"Back then, Zhao Ye, a strategist under Huan Wu, used a trick to kill Chen Shi, and today he Huan Wu is afraid that he will repeat the same trick. What a pity! I'm not Chen Shi, and Qin Yuan can't be! ”

Xu He raised his head in surprise and looked at Zhu Zi, who was smiling. The night was quiet, but there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the general's mansion.

After a while, Qin Yuan walked in wearing a broken armor, and his body was covered with blood. Xu He's heart was shocked, and at that moment, his heart was so shaken that he could barely stand firmly.

is so disrespectful, is Qin Yuan really the opposite? Is this a forced palace?

It was only soon that Xu He put this ridiculous idea behind him. He looked at Zhu Zi, but saw that he was still smiling.

"On the orders of the lord, he led five thousand iron cavalry, and after the Liang army retreated, he followed the attack and won a big victory! Lord, our army killed ten Liang generals, and even got countless burdens. ”

Qin Yuan looked happy and half-knelt down. Zhu Zi raised his hand slightly, allowing him to stand up.

"Huan Wu is insidious, Yang Xian is cunning. Although these two people are enemies of life and death, they cherish each other. Their means are to make my Liangzhou monarchs and ministers discordant, so that they can reap the benefits of the fisherman. These two people are in the world, and it really makes people sigh and hate! ”

Xu He seemed to understand a little, Yang Xian first asked Qin Feng to borrow three thousand iron horses, not only to defeat the Liang army, but also to cause a conflict between Zhu Zi and Qin Yuan.

Huan Wu sensed Yang Xian's intentions, so he then let people spread rumors and play a divisive strategy. Yang Xian is for the Qin clan's subordinates, while Huan Wu is for himself to buy time.

But Zhu Zi noticed it early and deliberately let Yang Xian borrow three thousand horses. When the Liang army was most lax, he gave them a blow and won a complete victory.

Xu He smiled and arched his hand: "These two people are indeed rare heroes, but after all, they are still superior in the main skills. General Qin Yuan's victory not only made the rumors circulating in Liangzhou self-defeating, but also greatly swept Huan Wu's face. At this point, Liang Shu no longer dared to despise my Liangzhou army. ”

Zhu Zi chuckled and said, "They want to fight to the death, so let them fight!" I'm in Wuwei City, so I want to take a good look. ”

Field farmhouse.

Zhao Ye took a bowl of coarse tea and drank it leisurely on the old elm table. And beside him, Fang Yuting was also waiting.

A black shadow broke into the house, and also broke into the field of vision of the two, with a little urgency in his voice, and handed the letter in his hand to Zhao Ye.

"My lord, General Huan Zilu has sent information. Our army retreated, and Qin Yuan led the army to attack and kill behind, resulting in heavy losses for our army. At this moment, Qin Yuan only led a dozen horsemen back to Wuwei City. ”

This result undoubtedly announced Zhao Ye's failure. But his complexion remained the same, and he was even in the mood to taste this bowl of coarse tea.

"The treasures in the tea are elegant and light, and the three products still have a lingering fragrance. This coarse tea is different, the taste is thick and strong, and it is tasteless after a taste, but it is indeed very refreshing. Speaking of this, Zhao Ye smiled, "I thought that Zhu Zi was just a bowl of coarse tea, and there was no need to taste it carefully." Now it seems that I underestimated him. ”

"Lord Zhao Ye, we all thought that Zhu Wuxiao was just a reckless man, but I didn't expect him to do what he planned. This time it's a bit underestimated. ”

Fang Yuting's words had a bit of meaning to save face for Zhao Ye.

Because of Zhu Zi's blow, Zhao Ye's discordant plan failed, and it failed miserably. However, to Fang Yuting's surprise, Zhao Ye did not see a little shame on his face, but was a little unfathomable.

"Then you underestimate Zhu Wuxiao too much!"

"What does Lord Zhao Ye mean?"

"It's too urgent!" Zhao Ye spread the information on the old elm table. This information recorded the detailed battle situation, but Zhao Ye shook his head, "If Zhu Wuxiao really noticed it, then our army's losses would not be only like this." ”

"Really?"

Fang Yuting's complexion changed, but he could see that Zhao Ye's eyes were like sharp blades, exuding a terrifying cold light.

"The water in Liangzhou is muddy!"

Che Riding General's Mansion, Zhu Zi's study.

"Our army has won a great victory, and the next thing is to count the goods and reward the sergeants, and the minister will retire first."

Xu He's figure slowly disappeared from the field of vision of the two, but the atmosphere in the study suddenly became cold.

Qin Yuan's blood-stained face was originally a warm and happy smile, and he knelt down on his legs and pleaded guilty.

"My lord, the last general let Qin Feng, a rebel, leave with three thousand horsemen without the consent of the lord, which is really a big crime, please punish the lord."

Zhu Zi still sat in his original position, holding the book, and looked at it carefully, motionless. And Qin Yuan also knelt in front of his desk and said no more.

The night is three watches, and the moon is far away. I don't know how long it took, Zhu Zi said slowly.

"Get up!"
