In Huangsha County, Lan Yunxuan, who had spent a whole day and two nights, finally straightened out his mood, and finally agreed to meet Gu Xuan.

For this neighbor who can be said to be close at hand and lives under the same roof, in fact, Lan Yunxuan's impression of him is not good.

The first time the two met back to more than half a year ago, when Gu Xuan had just left the capital not long ago, and it was the time when he was full of ambition.

Lan Yunxuan, who was still in the Tiger Ben Army at that time, heard that the other party fought hard in order to save the villagers who were besieged by the horse bandits, fought with his life, and was finally injured by the horse bandits, and his life was in danger.

But no matter what, the reason is on the other side, in order to quickly calm down the situation, not to cause big trouble to the Youzhou Army, and then save General Zuo's nephew in Pei's house by the way, so he joined the army as a tiger army at that time, General Zuo's first strategist, took the initiative to lower his posture and came to visit, at that time, as soon as they met, the two sides failed to chat a few words, Lan Yunxuan felt that this person was scheming, not a simple person, he was even more suspicious at the time, the other party may have deliberately hit the knife edge of the horse bandit, taking the opportunity to create an incident, and using a little injury to find the Youzhou Army to claim benefits。

But at that time, look at the number of the other party's subordinates, it was really pitiful, a justifiable court county king went to the post, and he only brought a servant by his side, eating and drinking, extremely embarrassed, at that time he also understood that the other party was helpless, not fighting, just afraid that going to the fiefdom would not die, or go back to Beijing to receive the punishment, so at that time he didn't care much about anything, anyway, they said that they were neighbors, but as long as they no longer paid attention to each other, they didn't get along with each other.

Later, the two sides intersected, or because Lu Dengyun, a simple kid, was used by the other party's words, and went to the post station to make a big fuss, and almost offended the general's mansion to death, if it weren't for General Zuo taking the initiative to make amends, plus Xu Jintang's side couldn't stand up after all, otherwise Lu Dengyun, this kid, was afraid that he would not be able to escape death, and at that time, as a participant in the whole thing, Lan Yunxuan, who was very busy, was even more disgusted with this person.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and this thing is changing too fast, so fast that people don't have time to react.

Originally, according to General Zuo's intentions, he wanted to lead the army to take down the Rakshasa clan that was in the way, raid the Shu army station, repel the 500,000 Shu army, and release 300,000 Yuyang troops to rush to Yanzhou to occupy it.

In this way, it can not only preserve the name of the loyalty of the Xu family, live up to the trust of the old general, but also take real military exploits for the Youzhou army, and the whole army will be rewarded.

Lan Yunxuan then waited anxiously outside the house according to the code agreed with the old general, seeing that the big thing was not good, it was inevitable that the two of them would also be killed, and in order to preserve his strength to avenge the old general, he quickly left with Lu Dengyun.

If he wanted to report it to the imperial court, it would not work, because the old general had threatened him before, asking him to do it no matter what, as long as Xu Jintang had not really rebelled, he would never report it to the imperial court, ruining the name of the Xu family's loyalty, which was what he Lan Yunxuan swore with his life to agree to.

What's more, these people know best, with the Xu family's control over Youzhou, if they dare to leave Youzhou, no matter where they want to hide, they are afraid that they will be caught before the next day, so all they can do now is to come to Huangsha County for temporary refuge.

Then you can also borrow Yanzhou from here and go to the capital of Liangzhou, but Yanzhou is now too busy to take care of itself, the enemy army has almost mastered half of Yanzhou, run from here, if you are met by the enemy, you will also be sent to death at that time, all in all, maybe for a long time after that, both of them have to stay here.

As a guest, I have come to stay overnight for so long, and I have caused so much trouble for the master, if I haven't seen the host to make amends, I really can't say it.

Just before going to the main hall with Lu Dengyun to visit the prince, he suddenly learned a news, that is, this little prince, without saying a word, directly killed the pursuers sent by Xu Jintang to hunt down the two of them at the city gate, leaving only one person to go back to report the news, such a rampant and provocative move made Lan Yunxuan feel a deep unease.

Maybe this little prince is a bold and domineering son?

Impossible, from the first meeting between the two parties, he knew that the other party was by no means a frivolous and impulsive person, plus the other party was degraded by the court to this kind of frontier and hardship, and he came here for so long, he was really a domineering man, and he was going to be boiled alive, according to this, he should not have done such an impulsive thing, but he did it, and he did it without room for maneuver, so what was his purpose?

Or rather, what is he trying to do?

First, he and Xu Jintang already have old grudges, and this move is mostly to vent their personal anger, but this possibility is not very likely, after all, one is a prince who is far away in the capital, and the other is a general stationed in Youzhou, the two may not have met in this life, so where does the grievance come from?

If you really want to say that there is a grudge, that is, the last time Xu Jintang privately seized the materials transported to him by the imperial court, but in any case, he would never pull out a knife and kill Xu Jintang's personal guards because of this, especially in wartime, even if Xu Jintang reports to the imperial court at that time, he can detain him from a big hat that provokes infighting, not to mention that he now has hundreds of thousands of border troops, and he may retaliate against this side at any time.

Since this first point is not right, the biggest possibility is the second point, that is, to show them goodwill, and this show of favor cannot be just because of his personal relationship with Lu Dengyun, but anyone who stays in the top position all the year round, holds the life and death of his subordinates, and thinks far-reachingly, it is impossible to rashly offend a generalissimo who controls all the armies in Youzhou just because of such a little personal affection, so why did he do this?

Lan Yunxuan sighed, because he understood, the other party had taken a fancy to himself and Lu Dengyun.

Also, one is a rising star in the army, with the posture of a fierce general, and the other is a former general Zuo's think tank staff officer, arranging troops, the most proficient, but if a person has ideas about this war and ambition, it is impossible to let go of the two of them casually, if it can be included in the account, I don't know how many follow-up benefits there are, the question depends on whether he can withstand the pressure, this is a profitable business, the other party can indeed offend the general's mansion for this, after all, he still holds the title of the king of Hedong County.

Lan Yunxuan stood at the door and took a deep breath, since everyone is a smart person, there is no need to pretend to be stunned, at the moment, there is a kind of divine light in his eyes that makes people look at it, and he will only nod and say, 'This is worthy of the name of the smiling tiger', stretched out his hand and pushed the door steadily, his big sleeves fluttered, showing the demeanor of a generation of celebrities.

There were not many people sitting in the room in the main hall, and there were no servants to accompany them, so there were only Gu Xuan and Lu Yi as receptions.

Seeing that the guests who had been waiting for so long were finally willing to come in, Gu Xuan hurriedly stood up from the majestic python chair, and laughed enthusiastically while applauding: "Lan Senjun is here." ”

Lan Yunxuan's expression was calm, and he did not have the slightest fluctuation because of the other party's enthusiasm, but just flicked his sleeves, bowed down, and said loudly: "The Tiger Ben Army joins the army Lan Yunxuan, meet the prince!"

Lu Dengyun, who was wearing a light cyan shirt, also followed by and bowed his head with his fists on the side, and saluted: "Lu Dengyun, one hundred households of the Tiger Army, meet the prince!"

Gu Xuan hurriedly walked down the steps, stretched out his hand to help the two of them up, and said with a smile: "It's not the first time we've seen each other, this king and the two of them are friends who appreciate each other, why do you have to make such a big gift and stick to that unnecessary red tape?"

Lan Yunxuan just lowered his head and pursed his lips slightly, but in the end, he still didn't have the cheekiness to refute this sentence.

"Come on, come on, you haven't seen Lan join the army, this king first introduced one or two to each other, this Mr. Lu is the right-hand man of this king, this king has been here for more than half a year, fortunately not disgraced, and he has done some careers, among which Mr. Lu is a great contribution! If there is no Mr. Lu for this king, this king is here, I am afraid that he is still at a loss, how can he have today's situation!"

When Lan Yunxuan heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at Mr. Lu a few more times, to be so praised by this little prince, he must be an extremely clever person, not to mention that since the other party wanted to subdue the two of them, he didn't care whether he would resist because of this, and still called him his right-hand man, it seems that this person must be the prince's confidant.

And even Lan Yunxuan himself had to praise it, this Lu Yi's demeanor is a few points more prosperous than himself, such as seeing high mountains and green pines, he can only look up to his ears.

Gu Xuan smiled at Lu Yi again: "Mr. Lu, this is the Lan Yunxuan that this king has mentioned to you many times before, Lan joined the army, the name of joining the army, the power of Youzhou, spread far and wide, it is really a rare talent for my Da Liang, these two are wise people, they should have a lot of contacts in the future, and continue to give advice to my Da Liang!"

Lu Yi, as the master's side, was the first to bow and salute, and opened his mouth to greet him: "The last to learn Lu Yi, I have seen Lan Joins the Army! If it is said that Brother Dengyun is the courage of the Tiger Army, then the Blue Joiner Army is the wisdom of the Tiger Army, and the name of joining the army is really like thunder, and I was still a little unconvinced in my heart. ”

Stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling face, everyone has lifted themselves to the sky, Lan Yunxuan can't be indifferent, and he can only return the salute at the moment: "Mr. Lu praised it falsely, he just stole a little bit of reputation by luck, he never dared to make a noise, he was afraid of being known, he showed his cowardice, and lost the face of the tiger army, not to mention that in front of Mr. Lu, he only learned at that point, but it was just an axe in the class, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!"

The two sides touted back and forth before finally getting to the point.

Gu Xuan leaned back on the python-headed chair and asked, "I don't know what happened to Lan Senjun and Brother Lu suddenly visiting my Huangsha County? This king has always had doubts before, but seeing that Lan Senjun has been unwell, he didn't ask much, I don't know if I can tell this king today?"

Lan Yunxuan sat on the chair, quickly turned sideways first, and replied with his hand towards Gu Xuan on the main seat: "Don't dare to deceive the prince, the two of us are really forced to be helpless when we come here." ”

The guards sent by Xu Jintang to chase him have gone around in a circle, this little prince is good, he didn't ask a few words, and directly killed the other party, to say that he didn't understand this matter at all, the fool believed it, this is the first initiative to offer a generous favor, he has to take it if he doesn't take it, but what should he do after taking it, so do you need to say more?

I'm afraid that I will have to serve under his account.

Gu Xuan pretended to be puzzled and said: "Oh? This is strange, this king heard that the battle ahead is tight, the Tiger Ben Army has already stationed troops on the border, and both of them are the mainstay of the Tiger Ben Army, at this time, who will force you two to leave? Who has the ability to force you to leave?"

Lan Yunxuan has been in the border army for a long time, and he is still sassy in the army, he likes to go straight, and he doesn't want to go around in circles anymore, so he said directly: "Lord Wang, let's open the skylight and say something bright, it's Xu Jintang!"

In fact, Lu Dengyun has already had some speculations in his heart since he learned about the killing of the guards of the Great General's Mansion yesterday, and at this moment he just clasped his hands to his chest, sat aside, and said nothing.

After all, he hasn't fully figured out these things.

It's just that if he suddenly told him earlier that the generalissimo of Youzhou, who had been hereditary for four generations, had a problem and wanted to rebel, he would definitely not believe it, but the previous Huangsha County party, Lu Yi's words, had already buried a seed in his heart, and after the incident of the post station, he suddenly encountered this drastic change, and this is the time to take root.

"General Xu?" Gu Xuan nodded a little understandingly, without the slightest hint of surprise, "Indeed, the group of people who came over yesterday were the pro-soldiers who claimed to be General Xu, and they said that they were going to arrest two traitors from the Tiger Army, isn't this a joke。。。。。。? ”

Again, Lan Yunxuan had a headache when he heard it, the other party hinted at himself like this at the beginning, he wanted the Youzhou Army to give some benefits, and now he is coercing him to repay the favor like this, which is also one of the reasons why he Lan Yunxuan gave up his fame and chose to stay in the army in this life, instead of serving in the court.

Lan Yunxuan smiled bitterly: " The prince is aware of everything, this is Xu Jintang's slanderous words, it is not a secret, under the general Zuo, has long been informed of the news that Xu Jintang secretly contacted the envoys of the country, and then the two countries of Wei and Jin suddenly attacked, it should have been a good time for my Youzhou army to help, Xu Jintang suddenly sent someone to give an order, let us not move, at that time I and General Zuo already had a guess, just want to quickly take the Shu army, change the situation, never thought, Xu Jintang actually came, General Zuo sent the two of us, let me come to the prince you for a few days. ”

Before the others could speak, Lu Dengyun's eyes suddenly widened, he stood up in a panic, and interjected: "That, that, that, that big, the general sent people to hunt us down, doesn't it mean that General Zuo has been controlled by him。。。。。。? ”

Lan Yunxuan turned his head to look at Lu Dengyun who was sitting next to him, and persuaded with a gloomy expression: "Dengyun, my arms can't twist my thighs, we can't do anything about him for the time being, but General Zuo has a personal relationship with Xu Jintang's father, the old general Xu Qianzhong, for decades, Xu Jintang will not treat him as an old man, you can rest assured of this." ”

How could he bear to tell Lu Dengyun that General Zuo was afraid that something bad had happened, and with Lu Dengyun's temperament, he was afraid that it would be strange if he didn't rush back immediately and fight hard.

Lu Dengyun said with a panicked expression: "Can 。。。。。。 ”

He was really worried that Xu Jintang had already dared to send his own soldiers and forged charges to arrest them, such a heartless person, he didn't dare to think about what kind of treatment General Zuo should suffer in the face of him.

He Lu Dengyun's life is all General Zuo's, he lost his father when he was a child, and he only serves General Zuo as his biological father, how can he watch his father fall into the hands of thieves, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead?

Lu Dengyun, only the word "loyalty" cannot be forgotten in this life!

Lan Yunxuan stretched out his hand and stopped Lu Dengyun, who wanted to leave here directly and go back to the Tiger Army, and said: "It's useless, if that Xu Jintang doesn't really rebel, we don't have any way to deal with him, and I don't have any evidence in my hands that can prove that he collaborated with the enemy, if he really rebels, he will naturally be sanctioned by the imperial court, but if you run back now, it will be sent to death!"

When Lu Dengyun heard this, he just lowered his head silently, stumbled back on the chair, clenched his hands into fists, and put them on his knees, completely unsure of what to do.

This sense of powerlessness and panic, that is, when he was a child, in order not to cause trouble to his mother, quietly left home alone and wandered in the fields, that feeling of being alone and powerless was really uncomfortable.

Gu Xuan saw that the two of them had already said almost, and finally clapped his hands and pulled back the attention of the two.

In fact, the two of them don't have to be so pessimistic, he Xu Jintang wants to be opposed, and the premise is that Yanzhou can't bear the pressure. ”

"With the power of his Youzhou state, at most, he is a thief who takes advantage of the fire to rob, how can he become a person who leads the general trend of the world? Now that the war in Yanzhou is unknown, how dare he Xu Jintang act rashly?"

Lu Dengyun hung his head and said in a low voice: "The prince is good to me, I know it, but the prince killed Xu Jintang's personal guard for us, and I am afraid that I will suffer a disaster, so I don't want to stay here and cause trouble to the prince。。。。。。 ”

Gu Xuan waved his hand and smiled nonchalantly: "What is this? This king is a friend, it's nothing, not to mention that this person has been killed, what trouble are you afraid of? Brother Dengyun, you two relax and stay here, with this king here, Xu Jintang's claws dare to stretch out again, this king is just a knife to chop!"

Lu Yi said on the side: " The Youzhou Army has two such loyal people, which proves that this Youzhou Army is still the Youzhou Army of the imperial court, or the Youzhou Army of my Daliang, this is not his Xu Jintang's Youzhou Army, he has been staying in the house for many years and has not moved, and his control over the Youzhou Army is insufficient, if he insists on deposing a loyal minister like General Zuo at this time, and risking to move troops against a prince, he can't bear the consequences, he Xu Jintang is a scheming person, and he has endured it for many years, how can he do that impulsive act at this juncture? There is no need to worry about the two of you, not to mention that there is nowhere else to go at the moment, so let's stay for the time being. ”

He knew that his own prince was bound to win these two people, how could he easily let these two people go, but to let them return to their hearts, they had to plan slowly, and they must not be in a hurry, Lu Dengyun is the character of knowing how to repay kindness, but that Lan Yunxuan obviously has a trace of resistance, plus these two people, even if they accept their kindness, their sense of belonging to the Tiger Ben Army is far stronger than that of this side, how can they be completely obedient?

If Lu Yi can confirm the fact that Pei Zhengyang is dead at this time, then I am afraid that he will really applaud, General Zuo is dead, even if these two go back, it is equivalent to losing the backbone, just rootless duckweed, and then plan again, but can dig up a lot of people from the Tiger Ben Army to supplement the prince's hands.

Gu Xuan's eyes flashed, and he said loudly: "If Xu Jintang insists on rebelling, with the combat power of the Youzhou Army, it will indeed affect the entire battle situation, resulting in the complete collapse of my Daliang front, and it is said that the son of a daughter will not be able to sit down, but the reason why this king stays here and does not leave is because this king has already thought of this way to break the situation!"

Hearing this, Lan Yunxuan finally came to a little interested, if he can really break the situation, the parties that invaded Da Liang completely failed, Xu Jintang will not be able to turn back, Xu Jintang will not fight back, Da Liang will not destroy the country, and only then can his crime be controlled and truly liquidated against him, otherwise once Xu Jintang joins the enemy formation, Da Liang is destroyed, Xu Jintang is equivalent to an evil dragon, and there is no constraint, who can still seek justice for the two of them and General Zuo at that time?

Therefore, Lan Yunxuan hurriedly arched his hand and said, "I would like to hear it in detail!"

Gu Xuan slapped his python head violently, suddenly stood up, waved his big hand, and explained: "This Quartet of soldiers who attacked my Daliang, only the Rakshasa clan is the weakest party, but the sand sea is the most important dangerous place, if we can conquer the Rakshasa clan, take advantage of the sand sea, and bypass the defense line of Qilian Mountain, then even if we only lead tens of thousands of elite soldiers, we can directly take the capital of the king and turn the country upside down, how can they have the heart to continue to fight in front of them?"

Lan Yunxuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, because of this, in fact, he had already thought about it, the place of the sand sea is actually very important, because once it is conquered, the defense line will be useless, and it will inevitably be annexed by Da Liang at that time, but it is a pity that they are completely unfamiliar with the terrain, the situation in the sand sea is complicated, if there is no local aborigines as guides, the army will not be able to enter at all, but the Rakshasa clan is not civilized, arrogant and murderous, and the enemy of the Quartet, if not, I am afraid that Wei Jin has already destroyed the country.

Lu Yi continued: "Under the control of the prince, we have set up a banner in this border place, and in one fell swoop we have surrendered the six tribes of the Rakshasa clan, so that the oppressed people in the Rakshasa clan will come to vote from time to time, which can be regarded as digging through their foundation, and now we have to face nothing more than the last three tribes, this point, I guess Mr. Lan, you have already heard of it." ”

Lan Yunxuan nodded lightly, he didn't deny this, he couldn't deny this, the border army's intelligence speed for this kind of thing would not be much slower than Tianluo.

"The three major tribes are going hand in hand, but why is the ghost vulture tribe getting weaker and weaker?" Lu Yi said eloquently, "How can rootless water last long? The greedy wolf tribe took Xu Jintang's line, and the poisonous scorpion tribe took the line of defending the country, but the ghost vulture tribe, no matter what the reason, in short, they have no backing, they are already in a precarious state, and this is our opportunity!"

When Lan Yunxuan heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "The greedy wolf tribe took Xu Jintang's line?"

In the blink of an eye, he woke up.

"No wonder, no wonder, no wonder that the greedy wolf tribe only 20,000 cavalry dared to come to invade my border, no wonder General Zuo wanted to move troops, he Xu Jintang ran over!"

Gu Xuan glanced at Lu Yi below, and said with a smile: "Since everyone has the same goal for the time being, why don't we work together? This king doesn't dare to ask Lan to join the army and Brother Dengyun to do too much, I only hope that the two can help this king calm the sand sea and end the chaos in the south! At that time, this king will definitely help the two to liquidate Xu Jintang!"

Before Lan Yunxuan could figure out how to answer, Lu Dengyun, who was sitting on the side, immediately stood up, clenched his fists and said loudly: "I am willing to help the prince!"

He thought most simply and directly, after all, Xu Jintang is in the name of a hereditary pillar of the country, Emperor Taizu once said that if it is not a serious crime of the nine clans, it cannot be easily removed, and it can be used as a gold medal for exoneration afterwards, offset a sin, and keep the bloodline of the Xu family, if Xu Jintang sees that the situation is not good, there is no rebellion, or he survives by relying on the Danshu iron coupon, I am afraid that the only one who can help them is this little prince, after all, the whole Da Liang can be bigger than the Xu family, only the royal Gu family!

Taking a step back, if it is successful, even if Da Liang is saved, Xu Jintang is not opposed, and the reputation of the Youzhou Army is also preserved, the best of both worlds, even General Zuo is here, and he will let himself help him.

Lu Yi said in a deep voice: "In this way, without further ado, if Xu Jintang wants to completely control the entire Youzhou Army, I am afraid that it will take some time, otherwise the one who came to hunt down the two of you yesterday will not only be his personal guards, we must conquer the Rakshasa clan within this time and completely change the situation of the war!"
