Chapter 86 The civil unrest begins
Yang Feng had previously acted as if he was loyal to Li Jue, and now he immediately called the other party a thief. The speed of the change was really amazing. After this incident, Xu Huang truly understood that Yang Feng was actually just a snob. He didn't know if it was because he had concealed it before, or if he was blinded by a single leaf. He didn't see it anyway. However, now the other party is no longer his commander. His purpose of saving Yang Feng has been initially achieved, which can be regarded as repaying Yang Feng's past kindness. As for the others, Xu Huang no longer advised him and left Yang Feng's army with Yang Feng's handwritten letter.
After Xu Huang left, Yang Feng felt a little regretful. He agreed so rashly. If Liu He fails by then, wouldn’t he be in vain?
After thinking for a moment, Yang Feng decided to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight for the time being. On the one hand, he agreed to Liu He, and on the other hand, he did not openly break up with Li Jue. If Li Jue wins, he would help Li Jue, and if Liu He wins, he would help Liu He.
"Haha, it's still my Yang Feng who is smart. Xu Huang, you chose Liu He instead of me Yang Feng. In the future, you will know that this is a mistake. If Liu He loses, what is waiting for you is death, but I, Yang Feng, can continue to live freely and freely."
Yang Feng was very proud of his intelligence and murmured to Xu Huang's direction.
Then Yang Feng continued to live his free life, and during this period, the situation was changing.
First, after Yang Ding and Yang Feng retreated, Liu He led the main force of the army to suddenly capture Shangluo and pushed the front line forward a hundred miles away.
After hearing the news, Li Jue was furious and immediately ordered Fan Chou to lead an army of 50,000 to fight, and it was necessary to capture Shangluo within half a month.
However, unexpectedly, Ma Teng's army conquered martial arts one after another, which led to its main army being only 120 miles away from Chang'an (Hanli). So Chang'an was shocked. Li Jue had no choice but to use the army sent to deal with Liu He to deal with Ma Teng, and ordered Fan Chou, Guo Si and Li Li, the nephew of Li Jue, to lead a 50,000 army to fight against Huai Li, and to defeat Ma Teng and solve his confidant problems.
Fan Chou led the army out immediately, but in the end he really defeated Ma Teng, causing more than 10,000 people to be killed or injured. Ma Teng Han Sui had no choice but to lead the army to escape, while Fan Chou led his army to chase Chen Cang.
Seeing that this time he was doomed, Han Suiheng finally made up his mind to ask for a dialogue with Fan Chou. During the dialogue, Han Sui persuaded Fan Chou: "Things in the world are capricious and unpredictable. You and I are fellow villagers. Although they are a bit unpleasant today, they may still be able to walk together in the future. Forgive others wherever they have to be, this is also a way for themselves."
Fan Chou felt that Han Sui's words made sense, so he held each other's arms and chatted and laughed for a long time, and then ordered the withdrawal of troops.
But unexpectedly, when I arrived in Chang'an, this incident caused Fan Chou's death.
In fact, to be honest, this matter is related to Li Jue's nephew Li Li. During the attack on Han Sui and Ma Teng, Li Li was rude. Fan Chou scolded Li Li and warned Li Li not to fight hard because Li Jue is his uncle. With his relationship with Li Jue, even if Li Li was killed, Li Jue would not blame him.
Li Li held a grudge against this. When he returned to Chang'an, he told his uncle Li Jue that Han Sui let Ma Teng and Han Sui go for no reason in Chen Cang, and he also talked with Han Sui. The two talked for a long time, but they didn't know what they were saying. It seemed that Fan Chou wanted to join forces with Ma Teng and Han Sui to deal with Li Jue together.
Li Jue was naturally furious when he heard the news, but Li Jue was also a cunning person. He held a banquet and invited Fan Chou quietly, in name only to celebrate Fan Chou's merits.
Fan Chou did not know that there was a fraud and went to Li Jue's mansion to attend a banquet without any precaution. In the end, he was stabbed to death by Li Jue's nephew Hu Feng, and the other party was killed. Li Meng, the general of the Fu Army, was killed.
Later, in order to motivate Zhang Ji to fight, Li Jue ordered the troops of Fan Chou and Li Meng to Zhang Ji. However, because Zhang Ji was still fighting against Cao Cao in Hongnong, Fan Chou and Li Meng's troops were temporarily obeying Li Jue.
This was of course a method taken by Li Jue. He actually annexed Fan Chou and Li Meng's troops, but in name it was given to Zhang Ji, who was unable to accept this troops due to combat.
The incident of Li Jue killing Fan Chou caused a huge response in Chang'an.
The first one to be affected is Yang Feng!
Originally, Yang Feng wanted to be a fence-bearing man, and he would fall wherever there was wind. Even when Ma Teng was defeated, he thought about going to Li Jue to expose Liu He, but because he was worried that Liu He had the letter he wrote, he did not move.
But then Fan Chou and Li Meng were killed, which made Yang Feng feel a huge crisis. Li Jue could even kill Fan Chou, who was close to his status. He was probably even more ant-like in his hands. He did things under Li Jue's command, and he was simply a scam with a tiger.
Therefore, Yang Feng's determination has become unprecedentedly firm. Even for his own life, he must cooperate with Liu He and find ways to deal with Li Jue.
In addition to Yang Feng, some ministers within the court were also deeply touched. The counselor Zhong Shao, the counselor Ma Yu, the left general Liu Fan, and the general Dong Cheng of An Ji were all considering how to eliminate the traitors and rescue the emperor.
The bad influence of Li Jue's killing of Fan Chou was not only this, and Guo Si and Li Jue also began to become suspicious from mutual trust.
This is about talking about it, and it is related to Lu Sheng, a strategist who just joined Guo Si. It is said that this strategist named Lu Sheng is not only good-looking, but also has outstanding talent. His wisdom is not bad even compared to Li Ru, the think tank under Dong Zhuo, who was previously popular.
Such a person is naturally highly valued by Guo Si. Originally, Guo Si wanted to recommend him as a Taizhong Doctor, but he was rejected by Lu Sheng because he had too little experience to take on such a position. In addition, Lu Sheng also said that from the perspective of considering Guo Si, he would be better to hide in the dark in a low-key manner, which can not only ensure that he can see through other people's conspiracy, but also conspire to others in secret.
Although Lu Sheng did not say who that person was, since Fan Chou was killed, Guo Si gradually understood that the other person should be Li Jue, so he couldn't help but feel glad that he could recruit a wise man like Lu Sheng, who was a foresight.
But Guo Si didn't know at all that the so-called Lu Sheng was actually Lu Fan, a counselor sent by Liu He to Chang'an. Lu Fan first gained Guo Si's trust through his talents, and then found a way to alienate the relationship between Guo Si and Li Jue, and tried to cause internal conflicts between them. Before, Lu Fan racked his brains, but could not come up with a perfect solution. Now that Fan Chou was killed, he just provided him with an opportunity to take advantage of it.
