Chapter 73: The two sides move their troops
Gao Ming saw that Fan Silk was dead, and shouted at the Xuanmiwei assassin, "Withdraw!"
Gao Ming knew very well that if Fan Silk hadn't brought weapons and the slightest preparation, today's assassination would not have been so easy to succeed.
And Fan Silk's pro-army saw that Fan Silk was dead, and Fan Silk's previous words, they didn't know what to do for a while, so they could only let the assassin leave, after all, they couldn't stop it.
At this time, Li Ji and Zhang Ji were talking, and at this time, Zhang Ji's subordinates hurriedly ran in, and when they saw that Li Ji was also there, their faces showed panic.
However, this general was very smart, and hurriedly found Zhang Ji's nephew, the disciple of the spear prodigy Yuan, Zhang Xiu, who was known as the gun king of the North.
Zhang Xiu saw that this person was so anxious, and he also listened to his words patiently, and after listening to it, he was furious, and walked directly to the middle of Li Dao and Zhang Ji, and said: "Oh no, General Fan Su is dead!"
"What?"
When Li Ji and Zhang Ji heard this, their faces changed greatly, and they made a sound in surprise.
Zhang Ji hurriedly asked, "Xiu'er, what is this all about?"
After all, Chang'an City is now guarded by the Xiliang army, no matter how influential the family is, they don't dare to kill the Xiliang generals, so how could Fan Silk be assassinated and killed.
Zhang Xiu had been among the two of them, and when he heard a lot of Li Dao's sincere words, he felt that Li Dao should not send assassins, so he looked at Li Dao.
When Li Dao saw Zhang Xiu looking at him, his eyelids jumped a few times in a row, feeling that things might not be good for him.
"Now Fan Silk's pro-army said that Uncle Li sent assassins to kill General Fan Silk, and now all the soldiers under General Fan Silk are under the command of Li Huan and other Uncle Li's soldiers and horses."
"No way, how could I do that."
Hearing Zhang Xiu's words, Li Dao was shocked and said angrily.
Then he looked at Zhang Ji decisively and said, "This must be someone framing me, you have to believe me."
Zhang Ji couldn't pay attention to it at this time, but he knew that Zhang Xiu could tell this matter in front of Li Dao, which showed that Zhang Xiu believed in Li Dao, and he had always been very satisfied with this nephew, hoping that he could inherit his soldiers and horses.
"Would you like to hear from me?"
At this time, a young Confucian came slowly in the house, and this person was Jia Xu.
"Mr. Wenhe."
Li Ji and Zhang Ji shouted in surprise when they saw Jia Xu coming over.
Since Zhang Ji and Jia Xu are both fellow villagers, plus Jia Xu's plan before, they counterattacked Chang'an City and let the Xiliang Army regain Sili.
In order to repay Jia Xu and want to win over Jia Xu, Zhang Ji deliberately let him enter and leave Zhang's mansion, and now he is naturally very happy to see him coming.
When Jia Xu saw them like this, he was also satisfied, and felt that he should make a plan for them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to my analysis."
Li Ji is also very happy, as long as Zhang Ji believes in himself, the other Xiliang generals don't care, if they are lucky, maybe they can really master their soldiers and horses.
"Not long ago, a lot of rumors spread in Chang'an City, first General Li was named the Great Sima, and then General Li wanted to kill all the Xiliang generals as a condition."
Jia Xu began to sneer on his face, these strategies were only able to hide from the Xiliang generals.
Then, as soon as General Fan Silk died, all the soldiers under General Fan Silk joined General Li's command, and General Li became the biggest beneficiary. This is probably a ploy against the generals of Xiliang. ”
When Li Wei heard Jia Xu say this, his eyes showed a gleam, and he sneered: "Could it be that the family is trying to kill us all?"
Zhang Ji also felt that this should be set up by the family in order to get rid of them, and he was also angry in his heart.
Jia Xu smiled and didn't say anything, he, like Li Ru, didn't have any good feelings for the family, and the reason why he came to help Zhang Ji was to weaken the family's power.
Zhang Xiu also noticed something, and when she heard Jia Xu's words, she had a yearning for Jia Xu in her heart, and secretly made up her mind to befriend Jia Xu.
Li Wei also smiled, and his eyes rolled, and he took the opportunity to say: "Now that it looks like the conspiracy of the family, it is better to gather you and my soldiers and horses in Chang'an City and see how the family reacts."
Zhang Ji also replied decisively: "It's okay, my 30,000 soldiers and horses in Hongnong County, Xiu'er, you go in person, bring all of them over, and obey your Uncle Li's orders."
Zhang Xiu's face was full of excitement, this time he was alone in leading 30,000 soldiers and horses, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "No."
When Li Ji heard Zhang Ji say that he obeyed his orders, his face was also full of ruddy, and he sighed in his heart: Life is really impermanent, and I was worried and scared not long ago, but now I am proud of the spring breeze, and I have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in my hands.
As long as Zhang Xiu's 30,000 soldiers and horses arrive, plus Li Huan and others' 30,000 soldiers and horses, then Li Wei will have 60,000 soldiers and horses in Chang'an City, and even if Guo Yan's all the soldiers and horses are in Chang'an City, there will only be 70,000.
In this way, even if Li Dao confirms the rumors, it is not impossible, but Li Dao also knows that although Guo Wei is fighting for an official position with him, they also have a common enemy - the Guanzhong family.
So Li Dao won't really do anything about Guo Yan, but other Xiliang generals, Li Dao will have to think about it.
…………
As soon as Fan Silk died, not only Li Dao, Zhang Ji and others received the information, but Guo Yan, Li Meng and other Xiliang generals also received the information.
Now the generals of Xiliang are all worried and afraid, after all, if it is really Li Dao, he has the most soldiers and horses under his command, and he can't beat him at all.
However, the Xiliang generals gathered their soldiers and horses from all over the country to Chang'an to prevent war and protect themselves.
When Guo Yan heard the news, his face was also shocked, sweat kept breaking out on his forehead, and he walked around the courtyard, hoping to come up with some good way to know if it was Li Dao's doing.
At this time, Wang, who was sitting on the side, said loudly: "What are you going to go, isn't this what Li Dao's guy did, even Fan Silk's soldiers and horses are all under his command."
Guo Yan's face was shocked at this time, walked up to Wang's side, and asked, "Then what should I do now?"
The Wang family is also a think tank for Guo Yan, Wang pondered for a long time, looked at Guo Yan and said: "Now, I can only gather all the soldiers and horses under your command to Chang'an City to ensure your safety, so that even if Li Wei really wants to kill you, you must consider your tens of thousands of troops."
When Guo Yan heard this, he asked in a lost voice: "If all the soldiers and horses come to Chang'an, what if there are no soldiers and horses in other places?" Xiliang Mateng has already sent troops to us. ”
Wang looked like he hated iron but not steel, and said: "Confused, if you can't even save your life, what else do you care!" And Chang'an City is our home turf. ”
Guo Yan thought about it carefully, nodded, and said hatefully: "Li Wei, you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust, I am also here to live."
Guo Yan knew that Li Wei's nephew, Li Li, was leading an army of 40,000 to confront Ma Teng at Changpingguan, fifty miles west of Chang'an.
Once, he withdrew his troops and horses to Chang'an, it was very likely to cause Li Li to fail, but if he really fought with Li Dao, he could also weaken Li Dao's power.
