Li Dao offered rotten food and stinky meat to the emperor, and the emperor was angry in his heart, and couldn't help but scold: "How dare the traitors deceive each other like this!" ”

Yang Qi hurriedly said: "Cruel, the situation is so far, Your Majesty can bear it, and you can't take it." ”

Di Nai bowed his head and was speechless, tears filled the sleeves of his robe, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

said that after Li Dao humiliated Emperor Xian, he felt a little better in his heart.

He thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "If it weren't for Fan Chou's fornication with Bingzhou and the exchange of grain and grass, how would I end up like this today?" ”

The more Li Wei thought about it, the more angry he became, and his nephew Li Li fanned the flames on the side: "Fan Chou has two ambitions, if he doesn't plan early, there will be endless troubles!" ”

Li Wei thought so, but after thinking of Fan Chou's powerful power, he couldn't help but say sadly: "Although I have the heart to kill this fang, Fan Chou has tens of thousands of soldiers, and it is not easy to deal with it." ”

Li Li rolled his eyes and offered a plan: "Uncle might as well invite Fan Chou to come to eat and drink, and when he is drunk, he will be cut again!" ”

He shook his head and said, "Fan Chou has always been wary of me, if you invite him to come for a drink, he may not be willing to come." ”

Li Li laughed out loud and said, "What's so difficult about this? Only invited Fan Chou, and he might not come. If General Zhang Ji is invited again, Fan Chou will definitely not have any doubts in his heart. ”

Li Wei was overjoyed when he heard this, looked at Li Li and said, "It's really my family's thousand-mile horse!" ”

However, it was said that there was a famine in Chang'an, and the people could not survive, so many people took risks and became robbers and plundered everywhere. For a time, the entire Chang'an City became chaotic.

In order to quell the rebellion, Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Fan Chou occupied three places in Chang'an, and each sent elite troops to hunt down and kill bandits.

Rao is like this, the bandits in Chang'an City are still inexhaustible.

At this time, Fan Chou was staying at home, and he was annoyed in his heart: "If it weren't for me exchanging weapons and armor with Bingzhou, I'm afraid the famine wouldn't be so serious, right?" ”

"Could it be that in Bingzhou, there are people who actually expected the great drought this year?"

Thinking of this, Fan Chou couldn't help but feel a little frightened in his heart.

If he really has such unpredictable abilities in the territory of the merger state, how should he compete with the merger state in the future?

After thinking about it, Fan Chou has been uneasy in his heart, but he can't figure out a clue, he can't help but sigh secretly: "It's a pity that there are many people under my account who can fight well, but there is no one with outstanding talent." ”

"There is almost no grain and grass harvest this year, how can my sons and daughters survive until next year?"

Fan Chou was worried about the matter of grain and grass, and suddenly there was a report from left and right, saying that Li Dao had invited him to the banquet.

"To a feast?"

Fan Chou's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Now the famine in Guanzhong is serious, and even the Xiliang army can't eat enough. Fan Chou cherished the lives of his soldiers, but if he had wine and meat, he distributed it.

Because of this, he didn't know the taste of wine and meat for a long time!

After Fan Chou heard that Li Dao invited him to the banquet, he immediately moved his index finger and wanted to have a full meal. After all, Li Wei's life is much better than his.

He was just about to go over, and suddenly remembered what Jia Xu said to him before leaving.

After thinking about it for a while, Fan Chou felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he asked Li Wei's envoy, "I wonder if General Li just invited me, or if he invited more other people?" ”

Li Ji's envoy said flatteringly: "There is also General Zhang Ji, who has also been invited by the lord. ”

Fan Chou was a little relieved when he heard that Zhang Ji would also pass, and he thought in his heart: "Could it be that Li Ji wants to win over me and Zhang Ji so that he can deal with Guo Yan?" ”

After thinking about it for a while, Fan Chou felt that this guess was very likely, so he said to Li Wei's envoy: "You go back for the time being, and I will naturally go to the banquet in the evening." ”

That night, Fan Chou took dozens of personal soldiers and wanted to go to the banquet.

As soon as he walked out of the gate, a man rushed directly towards him, and Fan Chou's own soldiers thought that the man was an assassin, so they immediately drew their weapons and surrounded the man.

The man was not afraid, he whispered to Fan Chou: "I am entrusted by the general's deceased to inform the general: There is no good banquet, if you don't prepare, you will be harmed!" ”

When he had finished speaking, the man turned and was about to leave.

Those pro-soldiers wanted to step forward to stop them, but they were scolded by Fan Chou, whose face was uncertain, and they had to let the man go.

After wandering at the door for a while, Fan Chou finally turned around and went back, and then summoned his confidants and generals to discuss secretly.

It didn't take long for Fan Chou to wear heavy armor, wear soft armor inside, and hang a sharp blade at his waist, and then went to the banquet with hundreds of elite soldiers.

In the territory of Bingzhou, a fast horse galloped on the official road, shouting loudly: "Emergency war report, pedestrians avoid the road!" ”

The soldiers guarding the gate of Jinyang City knew that this person was a herald, and they did not dare to stop him, so they directly let him into the city. The man ignored the prohibition of riding horses in the city, and rode directly to the governor's mansion.

Chen Xu was staying in the mansion to deal with affairs, and suddenly Hao Zhao came to report: "Lord, there is a war report from the south, eight hundred miles urgent!" ”

Chen Xu's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly said, "Quickly let the messenger in." ”

There was excitement on his face that couldn't be hidden.

Before that, Chen Xu asked people to pay close attention to the situation in Guanzhong, and if there was any change, he should be notified as soon as possible.

Now that the 800-mile rush war report has come from the south, it must be a change in the pass.

Chen Xu got up, summoned another personal soldier, and said, "You go and gather all the civil and military forces in Bingzhou, and say that I have something important to discuss." ”

As soon as the soldiers left, Hao Zhao led the messenger in. When the messenger saw Chen Xu, he hurriedly knelt down and presented the secret report with both hands.

Chen Xu opened the secret letter and learned the cause and effect.

It turned out that Li Wei invited Fan Chou to the banquet, but Chen Xu's subordinates sent out early were in accordance with Chen Xu's order to remind Fan Chou that 'there is no good banquet'.

Later, Fan Chou went to the banquet and pretended to be drunk, and Li Wei ordered his nephew Li Li to kill him with a cane. But he didn't want to, Fan Chou burst out and killed, slashed Li Li with a sword, and then killed Li Dao.

If it weren't for Li Dao's nephew Hu Feng, who desperately blocked a sword for Li Dao, I'm afraid that Li Dao would have been killed by Fan Chou, who suddenly burst out.

In the blink of an eye, his nephew Li Li and nephew Hu Feng were all killed, and Li Wei was furious.

He ordered the knife and axe men to come forward and kill Fan Chou, but he didn't want Fan Chou to be prepared, so hundreds of his own soldiers entered the mansion and kept Fan Chou and Zhang Ji back to the camp.

At the same time, Fan Chou's cronies suddenly attacked Li Dao's camp, killing Li Dao's younger brother Li Ying, Li Dao's brother's second son Li Xian, and Li Dao's son Li Shi.

Zhang Ji thought that Li Dao was holding a banquet this time and wanted to kill him together, so he joined forces with Fan Chou, and the two of them jointly attacked and attacked Li Dao.

Li Dao's army was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties, so Li Dao had to ask Guo Yan for help, preparing Fan Chou and Zhang Ji to rebel and want to rob the Son of Heaven.

Guo Yan had long been suspicious of Fan Chou, and when he saw Li Wei's letter asking for help, he immediately raised troops to attack Fan Chou and Zhang Ji.

Fan Chou and Zhang Ji snatched the Son of Heaven, Li Dao and Guo Yan robbed hundreds of officials, and the four of them fought endlessly in Chang'an.

History, it's so similar.

Even because of Chen Xu, many things have changed a lot.

For example, Fan Chou was not dead, Li Dao and Guo Yan, who should have turned against each other, were united. Moreover, Zhang Ji, who has been staying out of the matter, was also involved in this dispute.

Of course, this war, which was supposed to take place in the second year of Xingping, was a full year ahead of schedule.

Chen Xu was silent for a long time after reading the report in his hand. Dian Wei stood behind him like an iron tower, holding a pair of iron halberds.

"Lord, but there is an urgent report in the pass?"

Chen Gong was the first to come to the State Pastoral Mansion, he looked at Chen Xu and asked excitedly.

He is Chen Xu's clan father, if the power of the state can grow, Chen Gong will naturally be happy in his heart.

Guanzhong is the land of Longxing, and the strategy of annexing the state is to take Guanzhong and look at the world. The sooner the state captures Guanzhong, the faster it will be able to develop and expand its own forces.

Now Cao Cao sits on the two states of Qing and Xu; Yuan Shao sits on the two states of Youyou and Hebei; Yuan Shu sits on the land of Yang, Yu and Yan.

Although the rule of the three of them is not stable, the territory of these three princes has exceeded the current merger state.

Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. If the state can't catch up, it will eventually be eliminated by this troubled world.

Chen Xu was also excited in his heart, he didn't speak, just nodded emphatically.

After reading the letter handed over by Chen Xu, Chen Xu laughed twice and said: "If you don't take it, you will be blamed." In the land of Guanzhong, we are bound to win! ”

After Chen Xu announced the news of sending troops to Guanzhong, all the generals were gearing up and preparing to do a big job.

Even many scribes in the annexed states were excited.

Open up the territory and expand the territory, and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. As long as they participated in this battle, whether it was good or notorious, it would definitely be passed down for centuries.

The autumn wind blows, the war drums beat, and the big flag hunts.

Chen Xu took Lü Bu as the vanguard and led 5,000 Hun cavalry to attack Yong'an in Hedong County. Chen Xu personally led 10,000 cavalry and 50,000 elite infantry to rush to Hedong County in the starry night.

This time, Chen Xu learned the lesson of the last time, and instead of dispersing his forces, he gathered the army together and prepared to take Guanzhong in one go.

The last time the army on the middle route of the annexation of the state was to go south from Tongtian Mountain, pass through Puzi, and then enter Hedong County. After that battle, the Xiliang army laid down a heavy army in Puzibu.

If Chen Xu led his troops to attack Puzi, it would not only be difficult to overcome, but also some of the gains outweighed the losses.

This time, the Bingzhou army, which has a naval division, has no need to attack Puzi first.

Long before the decision to send troops, Chen Xu issued an order to Gan Ning of Zhao Yuze, telling him to go upstream with the Fenshui River and be ready to seize Yong'an at any time.

Yongan is located at the junction of Taiyuan County and Hedong County. The mountains here are high and the roads are dangerous, and it is difficult for foot soldiers to pass, and only one Fenshui can pass.

Jia Xu and Li Ru were both born in the Xiliang Army, and they knew the deployment of Li Dao and others well.

They knew that Li Dao and the others did not attach importance to Yong'an, and only stationed 2,000 men here.

If it was the naval army led by Gan Ning, in the event of a surprise, it would not be impossible to quickly capture Yong'an.
