"Open the door quickly. I am Yangwu General Fan Chou, here to convey the order of the Prime Minister. Please open the door quickly!"
Fan Chou was the general sent by Dong Zhuo to replace Wu Sangui in guarding Hangu Pass this time. At the same time, Fan Chou also received a secret order from Dong Zhuo, asking him to kill Wu Sangui immediately after taking over the military power at Hangu Pass.
Fan Chou was also an old man who followed Dong Zhuo. He was one of Dong Zhuo's first generals and was deeply trusted by Dong Zhuo. Otherwise, Dong Zhuo would not have left such an important matter in Fan Chou's hands.
Although Fan Chou is not ranked among the current generals under Dong Zhuo's command, he is still very obedient to Dong Zhuo's orders.
No, as soon as he received Dong Zhuo's order, he rushed to Hangu Pass without stopping. Obviously, Fan Chou also understood how important Hangu Pass was to the Xiliang Army.
With a heavy creaking sound, the heavy door slowly opened, and Fan Chou led the five hundred cavalry behind him to enter quickly.
When all 500 people including Fan Chou entered the gate, the city's gates were suddenly closed again. For some reason, Fan Chou always felt that there was a hint of murderous intent in the air, and he gradually had a bad premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, Fan Chou's premonition came true. The roofs of the buildings on both sides of the door were instantly filled with archers, and arrows emitting cold light were pointed at Fan Chou and others.
On both sides of the street, heavily armed soldiers appeared one after another, and instantly surrounded Fan Chou and others.
Not far away, Wu Sangui rode a big black horse and came slowly. The murderous look in his eyes could not be concealed no matter how hard he tried.
"General Wu, what do you mean by this? Do you want to rebel?"
Although the bad premonition in his heart became more and more heavy, Fan Chou had vaguely guessed something, but he finally decided to struggle, maybe he would succeed, it would be better than being trapped here!
"Hahaha, if a man can't protect a woman, how can he show his face to others!" Wu Sangui smiled unscrupulously, but there was infinite sadness in his smile, and there was endless anger hidden in his smile.
"Old thief Dong Zhuo, you humiliated my beloved concubine, killed my old father, and massacred my whole family. I will rebel today, so what can you do?" Wu Sangui roared angrily.
Fan Chou was also confused when he heard Wu Sangui's words. When he received Dong Zhuo's order, he clearly said that Wu Sangui was colluding with the princes of Guandong. Why does it seem to be different based on the current situation?
However, Fan Chou immediately understood that Dong Zhuo might have done something unethical first, which led to what happened today.
After all, looking at Wu Sangui's sad and angry look, and the fact that he, Fan Chou, is now a swordsman and I am a fish, there is no chance of a comeback. Under this situation, Wu Sangui has no need to lie to him.
"Fire the arrow!"
In great anger, Wu Sangui didn't want to talk nonsense with Fan Chou at all, and directly ordered thousands of arrows to be fired, forcibly shooting Fan Chou and his 500 cavalry into hedgehogs.
Fan Chou was very unwilling when he died. It was obvious that the old thief Dong Zhuo had done something unethical, so he sent him out in a daze, and even let him come to die in a daze.
…
"Wu Sangui, the guilty general, pays homage to the general." Inside Hangu Pass, Wu Sangui saluted Li Xiang very respectfully.
Since Wu Sangui had decided to betray Dong Zhuo, he naturally had to find someone to rely on as soon as possible.
After all, although there were 20,000 troops in Hangu Pass and a lot of food, grass and weapons stored, he could not fight Dong Zhuo with these alone.
With only one Hangu Pass, his soldiers could not be replenished at all. If one died, one would be missing. The same was true for food, grass and ordnance. Once they were used up, they would be gone. Just guarding Hangu Pass, even if Wu Sangui could resist Dong Zhuo
For a while, it was absolutely impossible to resist Dong Zhuo I. Sooner or later, Dong Zhuo's army would invade.
Therefore, Wu Sangui must find another master as soon as possible, so that he can survive and even have the possibility to seek revenge from Dong Zhuo in the future.
Moreover, given Wu Sangui's position, Li Xiang became his best choice, even though Wu Sangui didn't want this choice.
The two sides had a son-killing feud when the princes were fighting against Dong. It was Li Xiang's generals who beheaded Wu Yingxiong, Wu Sangui's only son, although that general was immediately beheaded by Lu Bu.
But it was about Wu Sangui's wealth and life. Although he felt a little resentful, Wu Sangui finally chose to join Li Xiang.
Of course, it is not impossible for Wu Sangui to seek refuge with other princes, but if he wants to seek refuge with those princes, he must pass through Li Xiang's sphere of influence. It is possible for him to disguise himself alone, but it is absolutely impossible for him to bring 20,000 Xiliang soldiers.
. But if Wu Sangui loses 20,000 Xiliang soldiers, he will not even have the last capital.
"Hahaha, General Wu abandoned the dark and turned to the light today. This is an act that has contributed to the country, the country, and the country. How can he call himself a criminal general?" After many plans, he finally won the Hangu Pass without spending a single soldier, and even more.
After earning 20,000 Xiliang soldiers, Li Xiang was in a good mood. Although his impression of Wu Sangui was not good, he still had merit as a surrendered general, and he still had to do some superficial work.
Li Xiang was very happy that everything went as he planned. This was the second time that Wu Sangui made the choice of being a beauty.
In fact, for such an iconic figure as Wu Sangui, Li Xiang had buried hidden stones around him as early as when he was born. There was even more than one hidden stone. At that time, it was just a random chess piece, without any thought.
How effective it can be.
It wasn't until Li Xiang received the news that Wu Sangui had become the guard of Hangu Pass that the chess piece he casually dropped became useful instantly, and a series of plans against Wu Sangui were put on the table.
"I can only hate the sinner for trusting others. I thought Dong Zhuo was a hero back then, but how could I have expected that Dong Zhuo would become so ambitious that he burned down Luoyang, kidnapped the emperor's officials and came to Chang'an. Now he is controlling the government and causing chaos in the country.
Killing the ministers of the court at will. Every time the guilty general thinks about it, he will feel restless. Today, he finally has the opportunity to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. There is no need to commit himself to being a thief..."
Sure enough, everyone can be said to be a movie king if necessary. If Li Xiang hadn't known all about the inside story, I might have been deceived by his performance today.
However, Li Xiang didn't try to expose him. There was no need to do such a thing. He just treated it as a piece of fun.
