Chapter 275: Rebellion

; After receiving this good news from Guanglin, Shangguan Xiu read it from beginning to end, and then held the letter paper between his fingers, shook it to the people around him, and said: "Let's take a look, General Guanglin has taken down Taizhou, the county seat of Shuangtai County, and now controls the entire territory of Shuangtai County. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info/To see the latest chapters, please move to the novel//Mobile phone user access/" As he spoke, he handed the letter to Xiao Jue and asked him to hand it over to everyone to circulate.
Then he stood up, walked over to the long row of wooden boxes that lay on the ground, and casually kicked open the lid of one of the wooden boxes, which contained a severed head sprinkled with lime, white flowers, and grinning teeth.
Seeing this hateful-looking severed head, everyone present frowned. Wu Nian took the letter, and after reading it, he casually threw it to Dongzhe beside him. After everyone circulated it through, Wu Nian sneered and said, "My lord, what does Guanglin mean by this? He first promised Sun Tong that as long as he surrendered, he would not kill him, but on the night that Sun Tong led the army to surrender, he killed Sun Tong by fraud, and also sent Sun Tong's head to the adult to ask for merit, isn't this deliberately framing the adult for injustice?"
Kong Di said slowly: "The infamy is borne by the adults, and the benefits are taken by him Guanglin, this is really shrewd, and it is calculated to the bones." ”
"How can this be reasonable!" After Wu Nian and Kong Di's analysis, the generals present finally understood what Guanglin's intentions were. Originally, everyone thought that Guanglin was good, and as soon as he defeated Xijing, he took Shuangtai County in one fell swoop, but now that he thinks about it carefully, it is not like that at all.
Luo Ren took the case and said angrily to Shangguan Xiu: "Brother Xiu, Guanglin is extremely hateful, he is capricious and untrustworthy, and he blames Brother Xiu for the crime, whether it is tolerable or unbearable, this matter can't be left like this." ”
Kong Di said quietly: "The problem is that Guanglin is no longer what it used to be, in Shuangtai County, he has absorbed a lot of rebels, especially in Taizhou, and has brought all the more than 10,000 cavalry that Sun Tong has worked hard for many years under his command, and this more than 10,000 cavalry has been on the battlefield for a long time, has rich experience, and its strength should not be underestimated. ”
When the Zhenxi army marched into Xijing, it suffered the loss of Sun Tong's cavalry, and a grain transportation team of nearly 2,000 people was completely wiped out by this cavalry, leaving no one alive, which shows the strong combat power of Sun Tong's cavalry.
Shangguan Xiu is not a fool, how can he not see what Guanglin has in his heart. But for a while, he had no way to take Guanglin, the strength of Guanglin was not to be underestimated, and now he has received Sun Tong's cavalry, and his strength is even stronger, if he turns against Guanglin, I am afraid that he can only end up losing both.
He kicked open the wooden boxes on the ground one by one with his toes, looking at the severed heads inside, Shangguan Xiu's eyes were also rolling. At this moment, a soldier ran in from outside, intervened with Shangguan Xiu, and said, "Report to your lord, Jiang Lian and Di Qing from Zhendong have sent envoys, and they are now outside the county guard's mansion. ”
Shangguan Xiu blinked, pondered for a moment, and said, "Bring him in." ”
"Yes, sir!" replied the messenger, turned and hurried out. As soon as the soldiers left, Luo Ren said in a deep voice: "Brother Xiu, let's do it, if we don't do it, we will really become a tiger breeder, and the strength of Guanglin will only get stronger and stronger!"
"Yes, Brother Xiu, this matter cannot be delayed, now Guanglin has occupied Nanling and Shuangtai counties, these two counties are large grain-producing counties in Zhen County, once the power of Guanglin is bigger in Nanling and Shuangtai, in the future, we will suffer from it. Zhan Xiong, who had already returned triumphantly from Tailai County, got up and said.
An Yifu also nodded his head, agreeing with Luo Ren and Zhan Xiong's opinions, he said with a straight face: "Do it now, at best, it will cut the meat, it will only cause labor pain, and if you do it again, it will hurt your muscles and bones if you don't do it well, please think twice." ”
The opinions of the three deputy marshals of the Zhenxi Army were surprisingly unanimous, and they all wanted to eradicate Guanglin, the black sheep, immediately. Shangguan Xiu looked at the three of them, waved his hand to the soldiers on both sides, and motioned for them to put away the wooden boxes on the ground.
Watching the soldiers take away the wooden box, Shangguan Xiu slowly sat back in the chair, smiled at Wu Nian, and said, "Mr. Wu Nian." ”
"Yes, the villain is. "Wait a minute, you write a reply to General Guanglin in my name, this time our army can capture Shuangtai County, he is indispensable, and he needs to be commended!"
"Brother Xiu!" Luo Ren and Zhan Xiong were anxious when they heard this, and they both said with red faces: "Guanglin's treachery has been revealed, can't Brother Xiu still see it?
Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei frowned together, if others said this about Shangguan Xiu, the two of them would have stood up and reprimanded them, but now the people who said this were Luo Ren and Zhan Xiong, and they could only hold back.
Shangguan Xiu smiled and said, "You said that General Guanglin has rebellious intentions, but that's just your speculation, and General Guanglin seems to have never said anything about wanting to break with the Zhenxi Army." ”
Zhan Xiong was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and said, "Brother Xiu, by the time he says this, it will be too late." ”
"Okay, since General Guanglin didn't say that he wanted to break with the Zhenxi Army, then he is still our brother now, fratricidal and fratricidal, this is a big taboo, and in the future, don't mention it again. Shangguan Xiu waved his hand to Luo Ren and Zhan Xiong, motioning for them both to sit down.
Luo Ren and Zhan Xiong were unwilling, and the two of them were still talking, but suddenly, they heard a crisp click, and the cup in Shangguan Xiu's hand was broken, and the tea spilled on his hand.
Everyone present was startled, and they all stood up in unison, and Luo Ren and Zhan Xiong swallowed their words when they reached their mouths.
Shangguan Xiu's face was full of embarrassment, and he waved to everyone on the left and right, indicating that it was okay, and he muttered in a low voice: "This cup is too unstrong, you can save other money, but you don't have to save a small amount of money like buying tea utensils!"
Xiao Jue hurriedly responded: "These cups were left by Shi Kevin, and I will send someone to buy some new ones tomorrow." ”
"Hmm. Shangguan Xiu nodded with a smile, Wu Yufei took out a handkerchief, helped him wipe the tea stains on his hands, and then asked him to replace it with a new teacup.
Everyone present sat down one after another, and the people were silent, and no one dared to speak again. Everyone knows in their hearts, a person like Shi Kewen who can enjoy it, how can the tea set he uses be defective, since it will not be defective, it is impossible for the cup to be broken for no reason, this is only one explanation, it was crushed by Shangguan Xiu, and it can also be seen from this that he has been angry to what extent, but it is not shown on his face.
When the envoys sent by Jiang Lian and Di Qing entered the hall, the hall was in this lifeless atmosphere, and the air inside seemed to be condensed, making people feel like they couldn't breathe, even the generals and strategists of the Zhenxi Army who were present did not dare to breathe, and they sat upright on the chairs one by one, not moving, only Shangguan Xiu was slowly drinking tea.
The envoy swallowed cautiously, he took a few steps inside, bowed to Shangguan Xiu, and said, "Villain Chen Bin, see Lord Shangguan'......"
Before he could speak, Xiao Jue, who was standing behind Shangguan Xiu, shouted in a deep voice: "Kneel!"
The heart of the envoy was already hanging in his throat, and with Xiao Jue's sudden throat, the body of the envoy was shocked, and he immediately knelt on the ground, looking at Shangguan Xiu who was drinking tea blankly, and beads of sweat flowed down his forehead.
Shangguan Xiu gently put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the envoy, and asked, "Jiang Lian and Di Qing sent you?"
"Positive...... It's ......," Chen Bin stammered.
Shangguan Xiu raised his head and said, "You get up!" "Thank you...... Thank you, Lord Shangguan. "What is the purpose of the two of them sending you to me?" "The two adults have admired Lord Shangguan for a long time, and they want to lead the army to join the Zhenxi Army, I don't know what Lord Shangguan thinks?"
After a pause, Chen Bin said again: "The two adults have said that as long as Lord Shangguan is willing to take them in, the two adults are willing to send troops to attack the rebels of Zhendong and dedicate the entire Zhendong to Lord Shangguan." ”
"Are Jiang Lian and Di Qing telling me the conditions?" Shangguan Xiu asked softly with a smile.
Chen Bin's body was shocked, and he shook his head hurriedly and said, "No, no, no, the two adults are really taking refuge, and they still hope to ...... I also hope that Lord Shangguan can accept us regardless of his past suspicions. ”
The Zhenxi Army now controls Zhenxi and Zhendong, and seven of the 10 counties in Zhenxian County are already under the control of the Zhenxi Army, so how long can only the three counties of Zhendong be supported?
The corners of Shangguan Xiu's mouth raised, smiled indifferently, and said: "Previously, Jiang Lian and Di Qing had written to me, expressing their willingness to defect to our army, and I had already agreed to this matter in my reply, and now I will naturally not break my promise, you go back and tell Jiang Lian and Di Qing that if you really want to defect to our army, it is best to be faster, the current situation does not wait for anyone, if it is delayed when my Zhenxi Army sends troops to Zhendong, they want to come and defect, but it will be too late." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, the villain can go back to Zhendong and convey the meaning of Lord Shangguan to the two adults, but it's just ...... Just ......"
"Just what?"
"It's just that the two adults hope that Lord Shangguan can make a note that after we defect to the Zhenxi Army, they will never harm us......
"Presumptuous!" Zhan Xiong was so angry that he got up, pointed at Chen Bin's nose and shouted: "What are you, just a group of rebels, and you still want Brother Xiu to set up a note for you, it's just a matter of not knowing the sky! Do you think that now our Zhenxi Army is begging you to come to take refuge? Do you love to come, and when our army sends troops to Zhendong, the rebels such as you and others will all be wiped out!"
Chen Bin shivered, and the cold sweat dripping down his forehead was even more, the purpose of his trip was only one, that is, to Shangguan Xiu's promise not to kill, this was also to reassure Jiang Lian and Di Qing, if Shangguan Xiu refused to make a promise, he would not be able to go back.
