Three Kingdoms King of the North

"When our soldiers and horses from Jizhou captured Meiwu, this man was captured by our troops in the scuffle." Meng Dai smiled and said to Zhang Xiu: "My General Zhao and Mr. Guo heard that this man had an enmity with Zhang Cheqi, so they immediately I ordered this person to be escorted to Hongnong and handed over to General Cheqi himself."

Zhang Xiu is also a smart person. Knowing that Jizhou soldiers and horses could not give such a big gift to his uncle and nephew for no reason, he asked politely and distantly: "Dare to ask Lieutenant Meng, my uncle and nephew and General Zhao , Mr. Guo has never met, why did you give us such a big gift."

"General Jianzhong, I am also following orders." Meng Dai said vaguely, "As long as this person is sent to Hongnong, my job will be over. As for what purpose, I don't know."

Zhang Xiu thought for a while, and then said to Meng Dai: "Lieutenant Meng, please go back and tell General Zhao and Mr. Guo that their kindness has been appreciated by my nephew and uncle, and I will repay you when I have the opportunity. I don't know." Can you hand over this person to Zhang, and let Zhang escort him back to Hongnong?"

"No," but Meng Dai shook his head after hearing this, and said firmly: "General Zhao and Mr. Guo have an order to send this person to Hongnong in person and hand it over to Zhang Cheqi. Don't dare lie to General Jianzhong." Seeing that Meng Dai refused to hand over Hu Feng to him, Zhang Xiu had no choice but to give up, and marched towards Hongnong with Meng Dai's troops.

Seeing Zhang Xiu's gloomy look, Meng Dai had nothing to say: "General Jianzhong, my General Zhao and you are still from the same school."

Hearing what Meng Dai said, Zhang Xiu couldn't help showing a surprised expression on his face: "What, your General Zhao and I came from the same school?"

"That's right." Meng Dai nodded and said, "General Zhao came from Tong Yuan, a famous martial arts master. It seems that General Jian Zhong is also an apprentice of Master Tong Yuan."

Zhang Xiu shook his head, and said very unexpectedly: "It's true that Zhang is from Tong Yuan's sect, but I didn't expect General Zhao to be my fellow apprentice."

After Zhang Ji listened to the soldiers and horses exploring the horses, he also looked puzzled: "What kind of gift will it be for me?"

Seeing that her uncle was so troubled, Zhang Xiu hurriedly came out and said, "Uncle, my nephew is willing to go and find out, please allow me uncle."

Tan Ma didn't ask what the gift the Jizhou Army wanted to give him was, which made Zhang Ji's heart itch.If Li Jue hadn't been in the city and had to deal with him, Zhang Ji would have gone out of the city to meet Meng Dai and the others.Seeing that Zhang Xiu took the initiative to invite Ying at this moment, she couldn't help being overjoyed: "Youwei, since you have such filial piety, then you can go on behalf of my uncle and go to the Jizhou military camp to find out what kind of gift they are going to give to my uncle." Zhang Xiu With a promise, he turned and left the meeting hall, and left Hongnong with a dozen cavalrymen, heading in the direction where the Jizhou army came.

After noon, Zhang Xiu and others met Jizhou soldiers and horses who were walking slowly.He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Are the soldiers and horses of Jizhou ahead?"

"It's the soldiers and horses of Jizhou!" The one who answered was a military commander. He saw that the person who came was dressed as a general, but he didn't know him, so he asked politely, "I don't know what your name is?"

"I'm Zhang Xiu, the nephew of General Zhang Ji." Zhang Xiu didn't show off his power just because the opponent's rank was lower than his own. Hongnong Zhangxiu has something to ask to see."

Seeing that Zhang Xiu spoke so politely, the Marquis Jun immediately took a liking to him, and quickly said, "Young General Zhang, please wait here a moment, and I'll go report to Captain Meng."

The Marquis rode his horse to the Central Army, and reported to Meng Dai who was riding on the horse: "Qi report to the captain, there is a person blocking the way ahead, claiming to be Zhang Xiu, nephew of the chariot general Zhang Ji."

Seeing that Zhang Xiu spoke so politely, the Marquis Jun immediately took a liking to him, and quickly said, "Young General Zhang, please wait here a moment, and I'll go report to Captain Meng."

The Marquis rode his horse to the Central Army, and reported to Meng Dai who was riding on the horse: "Qi report to the captain, there is a person blocking the way ahead, claiming to be Zhang Xiu, nephew of the chariot general Zhang Ji."

Chapter 317 Li Jue Li Hongnong

After Meng Dai returned to Meiwu, he immediately reported to Zhao Yun and Guo Jia that both Jia Xu and Li Jue were in Hongnong.Zhao Yun and Guo Jia had long guessed that Jia Xu might be in Hongnong, but now they only got confirmation from Meng Dai.But Li Jue was in Hongnong, which was a bit unexpected for the two of them. They thought Li Jue had fled back to Xiliang long ago.

Knowing Li Jue's whereabouts, the two began to discuss how to deal with him.It is obviously inappropriate to send someone to assassinate. Anyway, Zhang Ji is now on the same level as himself. If he kills Li Jue on his territory, he will definitely turn against him.

But it doesn't seem right to let it go.After all, Li Jue once maintained the government, and there are still many people who are willing to obey his orders.It would be a headache if he ascended the heights one day and gathered an army of more than [-] in Chang'an.

When the two were worried about Li Jue's matter, suddenly a team leader came in outside and reported to Zhao Yun: "General Qi, the Lord's messenger has arrived outside."

"Hurry up please!"

A moment later, a messenger followed the team leader and walked in from the outside.He came in front of Zhao Yun and Guo Jia, bowed and saluted: "Mo Quan has met General Zhao and Mr. Guo!"

Zhao Yun recognized at a glance that he was a confidant of Jushou's subordinates, and was full of curiosity about Han Zhan's appointment of him as a messenger.However, he was eager to know what Han Zhan's letter said, so he couldn't wait to ask, "I don't know where the master's letter is?"

Mo Quan quickly took out Han Zhan's letter from his pocket, and handed it to Zhao Yun respectfully.Zhao Yun unfolded the letter and glanced at it for a few moments before showing a shocked expression on his face. After he finished reading the letter, he handed it to Guo Jia and said, "Mr. Feng Xiao, take a look at this letter from the lord." .”

Seeing that Zhao Yun lost his composure, Guo Jia glanced at him in surprise, and then took Han Zhan's letter.But when he finished reading the above content, he couldn't help but turn pale with shock.He looked up at Mo Quan and asked, "Mo Quan, let me ask you, where is the nearest person, my lord?"

Mo Quan didn't know why Guo Jia asked such a question, but he still answered truthfully, "In Ye City!"

"My lord is in Yecheng." Guo Jia was obviously dissatisfied with Mo Quan's answer, and he continued to ask, "Did you see it with your own eyes, or did you hear it from others?"

Mo Quan was confused by Guo Jia's question, and he replied instinctively: "The villain has been following Gong and Mr. in Yecheng to build palaces for His Majesty. You can often see my lord taking General Dian Ziman to inspect the construction site, so I know that my lord In Yecheng, rather than listening to what others say."

"Mo Quan, you are exhausted all the way, go down and rest first." After Guo Jia found out that Han Zhan hadn't moved in Yecheng, he thought that what he said to Zhao Yun next was not suitable for outsiders to hear, so he dismissed him. Moquan went to rest: "Come here, send Moquan to rest."

After Mo Quan left the big tent, Guo Jia looked at Zhao Yun and asked: "Zilong, this matter is really strange. My lord is in Yecheng, and the messenger we sent should not have arrived in Yecheng yet. How did he know about Guo Yun?" Did Si die at the hands of Wu Xi?"

"Yeah, that's really weird." The reason why Zhao Yun was so surprised when he saw Han Zhan's letter was because Han Zhan told him that if Li Jue and Guo Si escaped during the capture of Meiwu, there was no need to send them out. people to search.Before long, Li Jue will die at the hands of Duan Yan, and Guo Si will also be eliminated by his general Wu Xi. "Guo Si has already died at the hands of Wu Xi. It is unbelievable that Li Jue will die at the hands of Duan Yan next."

Guo Jia waved his feather fan and said puzzledly, "When Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang'an, he sent Duan Yan to station his troops in Huayin, and he had nothing to do with Li Jue at all. The two had no grievances in the past, and now they have no enmity. How could he kill Li Jue?"

"Mr. Feng Xiao." Seeing that Guo Jia, who is always resourceful, was disturbed by Han Zhan's letter, Zhao Yun said with a smile, "my lord is always predictable. When Wang Yun got rid of Dong Zhuo , isn’t it also he who sent Ju Gong to fuel the flames? From someone’s point of view, since he said that Li Jue would die at the hands of Duan Yan, it must be correct, and we don’t have to worry about how to deal with Li Jue anymore. These two days The people in Meiwu have almost migrated, do you think we will rush to Chang'an as soon as possible?"

"There are less than [-] people in the city." Guo Jia nodded and said, "Let them return to Chang'an with our army tomorrow."

Just when Zhao Yun and Guo Jia gave up their plan to get rid of Li Jue, there was an uproar in Hongnong City.Zhang Xiu took Hu Feng's head back to the city and handed it over to Zhang Ji.After Zhang Ji learned that this was Zhao Yun's gift to him, he nodded and said, "Youwei, remember Zhao Zilong's friendship, if you have a chance in the future, you must repay him."

"What about the head?" Zhang Xiu asked tentatively, "Will it be hung on the city gate for public display?"

"Youwei can't be so reckless." Regarding Zhang Xiu's proposal, Zhang Ji immediately objected: "Li Jue is still in the city, if the heads of his confidantes are shown to the public, it will definitely arouse his dissatisfaction."

"If you are dissatisfied, you will be dissatisfied." Zhang Xiu said with some disdain: "There are only a few dozen people around him. Even if we see Hu Feng's head being displayed to the public, there will be no trouble."

As Li Jue's former subordinate, Zhang Ji said with great concern: "No matter what, Uncle Wei was his subordinate. If we turn against him, it will have an impact on Uncle Wei's reputation."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu could only let out a long sigh, and walked out of the meeting hall with the wooden box containing Hu Feng's head.One of the subordinates waiting outside saw Zhang Xiu coming out, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the box in his hand, and asked for instructions: "Young General, can you show this head to the city gate?"

Zhang Xiu snorted, and then said: "Forget it, uncle won't allow this, so we don't need to make trouble. Throw it out and feed it to the dogs." The subordinate agreed, and came outside the mansion with the box in his hands, and found a wild dog Hu Feng's head was thrown out.

Coincidentally, not long after Zhang Xiu and his subordinates left, the captain of Li Jue's personal army happened to pass by here, and saw a group of wild dogs looting something, so he went forward curiously to see what happened.After seeing a head clearly, he hurriedly drove away the wild dogs and looked at the head with a wooden stick.Although the head night scene was bitten beyond recognition by wild dogs, he still recognized Hu Feng's head immediately.

The captain of the personal army took off his battle robe, wrapped his head, and returned to Li Jue's residence in his arms.He came to Li Jue, put the things on the ground, and reported: "Speak to Da Sima, the little one found something in the back street, please take a look at it." After finishing speaking, he folded the cloth layer by layer It was untied, revealing the head inside.

Seeing that it was an unrecognizable human head, Li Jue asked with some displeasure, "Why did you bring this object here, why don't you throw it out quickly."

"Great Sima, please calm down." Seeing that Li Jue was showing signs of getting angry, the captain of the guard said quickly, "Please take a closer look at whose head this is?"

Hearing what the captain of the guard said, Li Jue couldn't help shaking: "Could it be Guo Aduo's head?" He tilted his head and looked for a while. Although he looked familiar, it wasn't Guo Si.He looked carefully for a long time, and finally recognized that it was Hu Feng, the captain of cavalry under him.

After Meng Dai returned to Meiwu, he immediately reported to Zhao Yun and Guo Jia that both Jia Xu and Li Jue were in Hongnong.Zhao Yun and Guo Jia had long guessed that Jia Xu might be in Hongnong, but now they only got confirmation from Meng Dai.But Li Jue was in Hongnong, which was a bit unexpected for the two of them.
