Not only Dong Zhuo, but even Li Ru's face changed slightly.

Last night, Zhang Xiu reminded him first. If Zhang Xiu didn't remind him, they would really be suspicious. Unexpectedly, it was Li Jue and Guo Si who caused the slander.

Li Jue and Guo Si were very different. They saw Dong Zhuo's expressions suddenly changed. Li Jue hurriedly bowed and said, "Lord, what we said is true. We did not harm Zhang Xiu."

"It's... lord. We don't mean to harm Zhang Xiu." Guo Si also said from the side.

Dong Zhuo sneered, his eyes shone fiercely. After looking around the two of them, he said, "I will tell you. Last night, Ma Teng and Han Sui gave Zhang Xiu a few thousand golds worth of money and promised a county land. Zhang Xiu gave it to me casually. And told me that Ma Teng and Han Sui must have spread rumors in the army, but someone slandered them. But you two jumped out at this time. How much benefit did you accept Ma Teng and Han Sui?"

Dong Zhuo was really angry this time. These two people have followed him for many years. It would be fine if they were bothered, but this juncture was dragging him down.

It really disappointed him.

Li Jue and Guo Si were shocked when they heard this, and then scolded Ma Teng and Han Sui in their hearts. They didn't even tell them about this.

And he gave Zhang Xiu a wealth worth thousands of gold and a county land. These wealth was used to buy us, so we did it, bastards.

However, the two of them also knew that Ma Teng and Han Sui could not afford this price to buy them. Only Li Jue was brave, but they could not kill Ma Teng and Han Sui in the last battle.

That is, the cost performance is not as good as Zhang Xiu.

Li Jue responded a little slower, and Guo Si reacted quickly. He pointed his right hand at his heart and said, "Lord. We have followed you for many years. How could we collect money from Ma Teng and Han Sui and slander it? We only heard about this and made suggestions to our lord. Please check it out."

After Guo Si finished speaking, he sat up and came to Dong Zhuo and knelt down, kowtowed and bleeding, and cried.

"General Guo said that we will never betray the lord." Li Jue also stood up, knelt beside Guo Si, and kowtowed.

"I will believe you? Maybe you have sold me." Dong Zhuo was angry and widened his eyes angrily, saying, "Now the person I rely on is Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu is there, so Ma Teng, and Han Sui is not afraid. You help Ma Teng, and Han Sui kill Zhang Xiu and rebel against me again. Wouldn't I die without a place to bury me?"

"Come here. drag them out and kill them." Dong Zhuo yelled angrily outside the door.

"promise."

The soldiers outside the door agreed and immediately entered the hall, planning to drag Li Jue and Guo Si out.

Li Jue and Guo Si's hair stood upside down. This time it was not the last time. This time Dong Zhuo really had the intention to kill.

The two of them looked at each other in a vague way, and were about to start a sudden attack, so they simply intercepted Dong Zhuo.

These two people also came out of the sea of ​​swords and fires. At the critical moment, they were also incredible and could do anything.

But at this moment, Li Ru made a smooth move. Li Ru stood up and said quickly: "Lord, lord, General Li, General Guo was confused for a moment, and he just wanted to harm Zhang Xiu. After all, they had a grudge with the Zhang family. They didn't necessarily want to sell the lord. Please forgive me and let them make meritorious service."

Even Li Ru believed that Li Jue and Guo Si would not sell Dong Zhuo. But there must be contacts with Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Anyway, you cannot kill the generals in the lead, otherwise what should you do if the army collapses?

Li Ru's words were still very effective, and Dong Zhuo's murderous intentions were restrained. He looked at the two of them angrily and said, "The crime of death can be avoided, but the crime of living cannot be escaped. People come, drag them out to have a stick of 30 military sticks."

"promise."

The soldiers who entered the hall immediately responded and dragged Li Jue and Guo Si out. Seeing this, Li Jue and Guo Si stopped resisting.

"Da da da da!!!"

Then in the vestibule, under the witness of many Dong Zhuo's armored soldiers, servants and officials, Li Jue and Guo Si were stripped off their clothes, revealing their white butts, and were slapped by the armored soldiers. Since Dong Zhuo had the order, they did not dare to let it go easily.

The stick reaches the flesh, the skin becomes blooming.

If it weren't for Li Jue and Guo Si were all generals who were in charge of military leadership and had thick skin and flesh, they would probably have killed them with 30 military sticks.

After Li Jue and Guo Si were beaten by the stick, they were sent out of Dong Zhuo's mansion by armored soldiers. The personal soldiers brought by the two were taken back.

This matter soon spread throughout the city, the army. The rumors about Zhang Xiu's rebellion in the city stopped and no one dared to mention this matter again.

Of course, the news also came to Zhang Xiu's ears.

In the general's tent, Zhang Xiu sat upright on the general's seat, and Xi Zhicai sat on the side. Zhang Xiu laughed at Xi Zhicai and said, "If someone slandered me as Zhicai said, and it happened to be Li Jue and Guo Si. These two people were afraid of my bravery and planned to get rid of me by Gong Dong, but they were stole chickens but lost their rice. They were beaten with 30 military sticks and lost their face."

"What the general said is very much. These two people fear the general's bravery and narrow-mindedness. How could they not slander behind their backs?" Xi Zhicai's complexion was better today, with a rosy look on his face and said with a smile. But after pondering for a while, he said, "But Mr. Dong is also tough and kills Li Jue, Guo Si. There are no future troubles without punishment. But in front of everyone, he blames the two people. These two people are narrow-minded, and I am afraid there will be future troubles."

Zhang Xiu's smile on his face was restrained when he heard this. This was not impossible. If Li Jue and Guo Si rebelled?

These two people are narrow-minded and it is really possible.

But if such a thing really happens, it will be beneficial to me or not?

First of all, we must ensure that Dong Zhuo is at least unbeaten in this battle against the rebels of Xiliang, and it is best to win. According to the historical context, send Dong Zhuo to Luoyang and destroy the Han family.

If Li Jue and Guo Sizhen betrayed Dong Zhuo as Xi Zhicai were concerned, then the forces of both sides would continue to expand.

But on the other hand, without Li Jue and Guo Si, his status in Dong Zhuo's heart would increase greatly and the benefits would be even greater.

Moreover, he and Xi Zhicai have a plan to ramp up Liangzhou. If Li Jue and Guo Si betray Dong Zhuo, the situation will be very critical. At that time, he will stand up and implement the plan to ramp up Liangzhou. Wouldn't it be a timely help?

Moreover, if Li Jue and Guo Si betrayed Dong Zhuo, then there will be no trouble to killing the two, and it will also avenge Zhang Ji.

He and Dong Zhuo were not the same as one. They only talked about their own interests, but ignored Dong Zhuo's interests. After some thought, Zhang Xiu smiled at Xi Zhicai and said, "It shouldn't be. The two of them followed Mr. Dong for many years and would not betray Mr. Dong."

Xi Zhicai learned some tricks, so he smiled and didn't say much.

............

Li Jue and Guo Si were taken back by their personal soldiers in a carriage without any face. The two of them lay in a carriage with carriages together.

As the wheels rotate, they tremble from time to time, making their butts hurt.

"General Li. We have followed Dong Zhuo for many years, and we have worked hard without any credit. The day before yesterday, it was because of Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops. If we save Zhang Ji, we may be deeply trapped in it. Only then did we die and refuse to save him. Now Zhang Xiu is brave and Dong Zhuo loves him very much."

"The stronger he is, the more dangerous we are. That day, you were almost killed by Zhang Xiu by Zhang in front of Dong Zhuo's door."

Guo Si's eyes showed a gloomy look and he whispered to Li Jue next to him.

"What does General Guo mean?" Li Jue's eyes shot out of horror, but he noticed Guo Si's intentions, then gritted his teeth and asked.

"It's better for us to rebel against Dong Zhuo. Go and join Ma Teng and Han Sui, and seize the territory of a county and be free." Guo Si whispered.

"How to rebel?" Li Jue also whispered.

"This matter is not easy to slow down, and the action will be tonight. We are all injured now and it is difficult to fight. So we lead our elite soldiers and directly join Ma Teng and Han Sui. If we are not injured, we will directly attack Dong Zhuo's camp outside the city and achieve great success."

Guo Si gritted his teeth and said, "If they were not injured."

"Okay." Li Jie thought for a while and agreed to Guo Si's plan.

It was Zhang Xiu who was causing trouble. The two of them who were not in harmony in the past were very co-starring at this moment.

.............

Eve!

Ma Teng and Han Sui sent Chen Ai and Zhao Wang to contact Zhang Xiu and Li Jue respectively. Chen Ai and Zhao Wang all completed their tasks smoothly and returned to Ma Teng and Han Sui camp.

In the big tent, the lights were brightly lit.

Ma Teng is on the right and Han Sui is on the left. The two of them sit north and south together, waiting for the situation.

After the soldiers came to report that Chen Ai came back, Ma Teng immediately asked the soldiers to invite Chen Ai in.

"How is the situation?" Ma Teng raised his head and asked Chen Ai.

"Report to the lord. After Zhang Xiu collected another cart of gold, he promised to raise an army tomorrow night and lead 20,000 men and women and 5,000 elite soldiers to join us."

Chen Ai said with a little smile on her face.

"Okay, okay, it's great. Zhang Xiu is brave. With his help, our Liangzhou people are not worried about the big things being done." Ma Teng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, he stood up and paced back and forth.

Han Sui also chuckled and nodded slightly.

Although it was a pity that I gave out a beautiful concubine and too much gold, silver and wealth. But it was really worth it to exchange for Zhang Xiu’s return.

"But Zhang Xiu was really unexpected. He had to be careful," Han Sui suddenly stopped smiling and said seriously.

"What do you mean by brother?" Ma Teng's heart moved and he looked up and asked.

"Brother, have you forgotten, why did Zhang Ji die?" Han Sui's face was slightly cold.

"If Zhang Xiu pretends to surrender!!!" Ma Teng's heart jumped, and the chill swept across his body.

"We must make good arrangements. If Zhang Xiu really surrenders, we will hold a big banquet. If it is fake." Ma Teng gritted his teeth and said with a stern look.

"That's right. I have to be careful." Han Sui said with a heavy emphasis.

The two of them made a decision and made a decision to surrender Zhang Xiu. They felt that it was foolproof and then they broke up.
