Outside Chang'an City, far away, I saw the smoke and dust raised in the sky turned into an earth dragon in the air, rushing towards this side, getting closer, only to find that it was actually a cavalry, although the number is not much, but in the Xiliang Army, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry can also be regarded as elite, the first big banner hunting in the wind, let people know the identity of the person, is the Xiliang Army, the status is second only to Li Dao, Guo Yan Another general, Fan Chou "It's General Fan, go and report to the lord" A captain of the city gate saw the banner of the comer, and while leading the people out of the city to meet Fan Chou's team, he sent someone to inform Li Dao.
Fan Chou had a little dust on his face, because of Li Li's matter, the recent voice from the court made him panic, Li Dao Guo Yan is powerful, and although he is known as the third warlord under Li Dao and Guo Yan, but in fact, the army under his control is more than twice as bad as either Li Dao and Guo Yan, and Li Meng seems to be a little wrong recently, which made him hurriedly entrust the army to Zhang Ji and rush back to Chang'an, wanting to explain this matter clearly, at least, this black cauldron can't be carried by himself.
He knew Li Dao's temper, so he didn't go to Li Dao, but went straight to Guo Yan's mansion after entering the city, this matter in his opinion, he still needs Guo Yan to maneuver around, lest Li Dao turn his face and deny people, and really count the accounts on his head, although he is not afraid, but among the three parties, he is indeed the weakest party.
The news came to the Guo Mansion first, and at this moment Li Wei was discussing things with Guo Yan in the Guo Mansion, although because of Yang Biao before, there was a mustard between the two, but it was not to tear face, and now they are gathered together, but it is for Cao Cao's business.
Is the reason, since the beginning of the year, the remnants of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Party plundered Yanzhou, attacked and killed Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, and then Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, and others saw that Cao Cao was powerful, and welcomed Cao Cao as the pastor of Yanzhou, but this title was not correct after all, Cao Cao originally wanted to ask Yuan Shao for the name of Yanzhou Mu, but Yuan Shao was not allowed, therefore, Cao Cao is now rectifying the soldiers and horses to deal with the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, while secretly sending messengers to Chang'an, willing to belong to the Chang'an court.
Although it is called Guifu, it is actually just a name, but for the Chang'an court, it is not a trivial matter, after all, this is the first Kwantung prince in the Central Plains who is willing to declare his allegiance to the Chang'an court, and as long as Cao Cao is appointed by the Chang'an court, it is equivalent to breaking away from Yuan Shao's power.
Now that the second Yuan is dominating the north and south, looking at Chang'an, for Li Dao and Guo Yan, the pressure is not small, if Cao Cao is willing to surrender to the imperial court, whether he is sincere or not, it is equivalent to turning his face with Yuan Shao, and he can also help Guanzhong contain Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
"You mean it's not enough to promise him a history of assassination, Yanzhou Mu, it's a little big" Looking at Guo Yan, Li Dao frowned and said, Zhou Mu and Thorn History are not the same concept, Thorn History has no local military power, at least nominally, but Zhou Mu is the general leader of the military and political power of a state, almost equivalent to the general of the soil emperor, according to Li Dao's meaning, the position of Thorn History was given to Cao Cao, and then sent his henchmen to Yanzhou to master the military power, in this way, Yanzhou and Yingchuan are all theirs, even if the two Yuan join forces, they may not have the power to fight.
"Don't give it, do you think Cao Cao will let go" Guo Yan shook his head, when Dong Zhuo was at the height of his power, he also failed to control the military power in various places.
"What we want now is Cao Cao to help us contain Yuan Shao, we don't have military power, how can we contain it?"
Li Dao nodded, but he was always a little unhappy at the thought of giving up the place that belonged to him.
"Newspaper" Just as the two were discussing, a general came in, bowed down and said, "Lord Qi, General Fan Chou has returned to the city and is asking to see him outside the door." ” "Fan Chou" Guo Yan raised his eyebrows, but Li Wei frowned and said: "How many people did he bring into the city?"
"There were only 300 relatives with him, and he never brought back the army."
The family will bow down.
"Hey, looking for death" Li Dao smiled and stood up: "Look at me, I'm going to behead him to comfort my nephew's soul in the sky" "Wait," Guo Yan hurriedly grabbed Li Dao.
"Why didn't you agree" Li Wei turned his head and looked at Guo Yan and said dissatisfiedly.
"Don't be in a hurry, although it is not difficult to kill Fan Chou, don't forget, there are still 30,000 of his soldiers and horses over there" Guo Yan shook his head and said.
"Then how can you forgive that Zhang Ji, don't dare to go against us," Li Wei snorted coldly.
"Be careful" Guo Yan shook his head and said: "And stabilize him first, I ordered someone to rush to Anding in the starry night, and secretly ordered Li Meng to wait for the opportunity to kill that Zhang Ji and seize his military power, tomorrow I will set up a banquet to invite the two of you to come over, called persuasion and peace, in fact, we will take the opportunity to kill him" When Li Wei heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he nodded: "You still have a lot of ideas, hehe, that Zhang Ji's mother-in-law has wanted to taste it for a long time, but now she is just catching her."
"Be careful, don't startle the snake," Guo Yan frowned.
"Don't worry, in this Chang'an City, who dares to fart" Li Dao waved his hand indifferently, and wanted to leave with an excited face, but was stopped by Guo Yan.
"How" Li Dao looked at Guo Yan dissatisfied.
"Go through the back door, don't be noticed by Fan Chou," Guo Yan smiled bitterly.
"You are suspicious, alas" Li Wei shook his head, he always felt that Guo Yan was making a big fuss, even if he let Fan Chou know, what could he do didn't go to Guo Yan because of this matter, and took a few generals to go straight to the back door of Guo's mansion, but he didn't go home, but went directly in the direction of Zhang Ji's mansion.
On the other side, Guo Yan ushered in Fan Chou, the two had not seen each other for several months, and they were embarrassed, and after a moment of reminiscence, Fan Chou couldn't help but pull the topic to Li Li's death.
"Ado, I am also sad about Li Li's death, but as the commander-in-chief, although I have had it, it is not out of my original intention, it is actually that Li Li is greedy for merit and broke off the connection with the Chinese army, which caused the ambush of Ma Chao, I think this matter was a scam from the beginning."
Fan Chou explained the cause and effect, and looked at Guo Yan with a wry smile: "But I don't know how to explain my childish temper to him, I will go back to the city today, and come to you first, you can help me explain more clearly to him, they are all brothers who fought together, and I really don't want to misunderstand with the childish sword soldiers." ” "Brother Fan, don't worry, I have also heard about this matter, but he is not a person who does not know the truth, but that Li Li is sad and depressed, I don't think it is as good as this, tomorrow I will hold a banquet at home, you two come to my house, I will personally resolve this misunderstanding for the two of you, what do you think" Guo Yan patted Fan Chou's shoulder and smiled.
"If you're willing to help, that's great," Fan Chou couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly nodded his head and thanked him.
"Whether it will be successful or not is still unknown, so there is no need to rush to say thank you" Guo Yan hurriedly supported Fan Chou.
"Then I'll go back to the camp to make arrangements first, and I will definitely come to the appointment tomorrow" Fan Chou got Guo Yan's promise, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and got up to say goodbye immediately.
"Okay" Guo Yan got up, sent Fan Chou out of the door, looked at Fan Chou's back, a sneer flashed in his eyes, in this way, just wait for Li Meng to kill Zhang Ji, but this Fan Chou's military power will belong to himself. t1706231537:
