Chapter 18 Infernal Affairs at the end of the Han Dynasty
"Be serious?" Li Jue stood up in Li Jue's temporary county government office, frowned at Zhu Ci in front of him: "This matter cannot be joked about."
"It's true, it's what Li Ru said in person." Zhu Ci nodded seriously.
"Then why didn't you arrest Li Ru and Hua Xiong?" Li Jie said with a somewhat ugly expression.
"I think we can use this trick!" Zhu Ci said excitedly: "When Ye Zhao contacted me, we would ambush the ambush soldiers secretly. When Yang Ding and Ye Zhao secretly communicated, all the ambush soldiers would be released. Even if we could not kill Ye Zhao, we would still be able to severely hurt him!"
"It's reasonable!" Li Jue nodded and said, "You go back first. If Ye Zhao contacts you, let me know as soon as possible!"
"Okay!" Zhu Ci nodded, stood up and said goodbye. Li Jue sent Zhu Ci to the door, and his face became gloomy.
"Who is lying to them?" Guo Si walked out slowly behind the screen, looking at Li Jue and asked.
An hour ago, Yang Ding also came, and what he said was similar to Zhu Ci, but the protagonist was replaced by Zhu Ci.
"I can't say it." Li Jue was a little irritable. He was suspicious by nature. Now, the generals from various Guanzhong led their troops to support him. This was a good thing, but the main men of the two groups said that the other party had surrendered to Ye Zhao, which made Li Jue unable to tell for a moment.
"Will both of them say true?" Guo Si looked at Li Jue and said another possibility: "Then Li Ru was as cunning as a fox, deliberately revealing this matter, allowing the two to guard against each other for trap?"
"It's possible!" Li Jie became even more annoyed. If he didn't lie, it would be fine, but if someone lies...
"Lord, Duan Wei is asking for a meeting!" A personal guard came in, bowed to the two of them, and said to Li Jue.
Li Jue and Guo Si looked at each other, and Li Jue sighed and said, "Let him come in."
Soon, Duan Wei came in, bowed to Li Jue and Guo Si and said, "I have met the second master."
"Why did Zhongming come here?" Li Jue looked at Duan Wei and said.
Duan Wei hesitated a little, looked at the two of them for a while and sighed, "I have met Li Ru in the way I come."
"Oh?" Li Jue was already numb.
Duan Wei looked at Li Jue and hesitated for a moment: "I have never agreed, but I have not made any difficulties considering the friendship of the past. However, according to his words, there may be someone in our army who secretly surrendered to Ye Zhao, so we must be careful!"
"Who isn't said?" Guo Si looked at Duan Wei and said.
"Then Li Ru is like a traitor or a ghost. If he doesn't surrender, how can I ask?" Duan Wei said with a wry smile.
Li Jue and Guo Si were stunned at the same time and looked at each other. Yes, with Li Ru's curved intestines, if it were something he didn't want to say, who could pull it out of his mouth, at least it would be impossible with Yang Ding and Zhu Ci.
Li Jue's expression suddenly became even more gloomy, and he nodded and said, "I already know this. Zhongming is exhausted all the way, so go and rest first."
Duan Wei said nothing, and said goodbye and left, leaving Li Jue and Guo Si.
"Now it seems that if these two people were not deceived by Li Ru, someone would have lie, but one thing is certain that some of them must have secretly communicated with Ye Zhao." Li Jie said with a ugly expression.
Li Ru would never be so stupid. He knew that the two would come to report the secrets, but he would deliberately reveal them to them... It seems that it is not right. Li Jue felt that his mind was not enough.
"To avoid these two people's bad things, it's better..." Guo Si looked at Li Jue, and a cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "Eliminating all these two people will be less trouble!"
"That part of simmer..." Li Jue nodded. This was also the safest way, and then looked at Guo Si and said.
"It's unlikely that he." Guo Si shook his head and said, "You forgot that he and Yang Ding joined the emperor together, but were slandered by Yang Ding, and eventually almost died in Huayin. This person is a little pedantic and such a big revenge. If he had malicious intentions at this time, Yang Ding and Ye Zhao had a secret relationship. It was when Yang Ding was eliminated, but he had not done so. This time, you and I can't blame the good people wrongly."
Li Jue nodded silently after Guo Si said this: "Since that's the case, how can you remove Yang Ding and Zhu Ci?"
"I have a plan!" Guo Si said: "You can send someone to tell the two of you separately. In order to avoid the long and long nights, it is better to remove the other party early. He will lead him to the army and use a knife and axe driver. When the two of you enter the camp, he will kill him in a row! In addition, he will send someone to take the opportunity to annex his troops!"
"But!" Li Jue nodded when he heard this, then looked at Guo Si and said, "But who will go to annex his troops?"
"This..." Guo Si frowned slightly. This is not a simple question. Yang Ding and Zhu Ci had a total of 20,000 troops. Whether he or Li Jue annexed them, their strength was far greater than the other side. In this fist, the hard truth is that in this troubled times, whoever has more soldiers will have the right to speak. No matter who it is, obviously, will not give up.
After thinking for a while, Guo Si said, "These two men have similar forces, how about you and I swallow one?"
"Good!" Li Jue nodded. He also knew that it was definitely not the time to break up with Guo Si. Their common enemy is Ye Zhao. If they had a break up with Guo Si at this time, there would be no need to defend this county.
Ye Zhao's army had arrived a few days ago. Li Jue sent troops out of the city to test it once, but was almost attacked by Ye Zhao's army. The combat effectiveness of the Shu army was so strong that it was heartbreaking. Therefore, Li Jue has been resisting the city and defending for these days and dared not start a complete war with Ye Zhao.
To annex Yang Ding and Zhu Ci's troops, we must make good arrangements. It is best to accept the two people's deployments while minimizing losses. Therefore, in the next two days, Li Jue and Guo Si were secretly making arrangements.
On the third day, Li Jue invited the two of them to have a banquet and told them to design to kill each other and ask them to come forward to testify, so that everyone should not let everyone say that he killed someone for no reason.
Yang Ding and Zhu Ci were not clear about it, and each agreed. Yu Wu was only given a personal guard and came to the town of Mei County. Almost after the two entered Mei County, Li Jue and Guo Si's men surrounded their camp.
"General, what does this mean?" After entering Li Jue's mansion, the personal guards brought by the two were killed by the sword and axe drivers who suddenly came out. Yang Ding and Zhu Ci's expressions changed drastically, and they looked at Li Jue and said loudly.
"What's the point?" Li Jue smiled, shook his head and looked at the two of them and said, "You are secretly hiding Ye Zhao, do you think I don't know?"
"I haven't had an affair with Ye Zhao, he is the one who has an affair with Ye Zhao..." The two of them shouted in unison almost in unison, but before they finished speaking, they looked at each other in shock, and their faces turned pale in an instant. At this moment, the two finally understood what had happened.
"General, it's wronged. This is Li Ru's trick!" Yang Ding and Zhu Ci burst into tears and shouted at Li Jue.
"Kill!" Li Jue would not hear the two of them quibbling at this moment. He sneered, waved his hand and rushed forward with a knife and axe hand.
Seeing this, Yang Ding and Zhu Ci didn't care about it anymore. They pulled out their weapons and roared at the swordsman and axe. They were also generals who had been through the battlefield for a long time. At this moment, they saw that they had no way to survive, and they both tried their best to kill Li Jue.
Youdao is a man who works hard, but no one can stop him! At this moment, when the two knew that they had no way to live, they just wanted to pull Li Jie on their backs. For a moment, they killed a lot of people.
Seeing this, Li Jue snorted coldly, grabbed a bow, and shot an arrow at Yang Ding. Yang Ding couldn't dodge and was shot through his heart and lungs by the cold arrows. He roared unwillingly and cursed: "Li Ru, you must die a good death!!!"
When he was dying, he did not scold Li Jue, but Li Ru was scolding him. This roar suddenly made Li Jue's heart sank.
"General, you will regret it!" Zhu Ci was panicked when he saw Yang Ding die. He was chopped to the ground by two swords and axesmen. He looked up at Li Jue and gritted his teeth.
Li Jue's bad feelings became clearer and clearer. He felt that he seemed to have been fooled, but now that things have come to this point, everyone has been killed. What's the use of these? He immediately calmed down and led his troops to accept Yang Ding's troops. During the discussion with Guo Si, Yang Ding's troops were his own, and Zhu Ci's troops were close to martial arts and belonged to Guo Si.
With such a big noise here, the news soon reached Duan Wei.
"Just say one thing, and let Li Jue and Guo Si kill the two?" Duan Wei still looked at Li Ru sitting opposite him in disbelief. In order to facilitate planning, since Duan Wei led his army to the area of Mei County, Li Ru secretly sneaked into Duan Wei's camp.
"Of course it's not as simple as one sentence. The two of them should have met Li Jue and Guo Si before, which made Li Guo and Guo suspicious. You went there at that time. Those words were to clear your suspicion. At the same time, they also made Li Guo and Guo confirm that some of them had a secret relationship with their lord. Li Jue was suspicious and Guo Si was cautious, but they were not smart enough. In order to be safe, they would rather be in vain than to let go!" Li Jue said with a sassy smile.
Duan Wei felt a chill behind his back. Although he wanted to avenge his original revenge, he never thought that Yang Ding and Zhu Ci would be so easily killed by Li Ru. From beginning to end, Li Ru just walked around their military camp and talked. He killed the two without moving a soldier. This ability and scheming were really...
"Why don't I let me subdue the two men's troops?" Duan Wei then looked at Li Ru with some dissatisfaction. If Li Ru made arrangements in advance, he might not be able to take this opportunity to surrender the two men's troops. At that time, even if he is not as many soldiers as Li Jue and Guo Si, he is not the object that the two can easily knead.
"Hastyness will not be achieved. If you take action, it will only make the two of you suspicious of you!" Li Ru said calmly.
In fact, even with this opportunity, Li Ru would not let Duan Wei surrender his crowd. What Ye Zhao wanted was a complete Guanzhong, but he was not prepared to have others standing under his command.
"What should I do now? Although I killed two people, Li Jue and Guo Si annexed their troops, and their strength did not lose any loss!" Duan Wei frowned and looked at Li Ru.
