Since the last time he expressed his dissatisfaction with some of Yuan Jun's actions in front of Ji Ling and others, Lei Bo has been almost isolated by Ji Ling and others.
Everyone has followed Yuan Shu for so long, what kind of trouble do you want to make by singing the opposite tune now?
After being isolated, even Ji Ling, who guarded Shouchun City during the First Battle, did not arrange for Lei Bo to go up the city wall. Instead, he asked Lei Bo to stay in the city and dispatch the civilians and reserve troops.
Although it was said to be a central dispatch, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Ji Ling was monitoring and guarding against Lei Bo.
This led Lei Bo to become more and more resentful towards Ji Ling and even Yuan Shu.
After the battle to defend the city, Lei Bo once again had a big quarrel with Ji Ling and others because of the treatment of injuries. In the end, Lei Bo, extremely dissatisfied, slammed the door angrily and walked out. His anger was becoming increasingly difficult to suppress!
Looking at the people in Shouchun City who were like walking corpses, looking at the group of Pao Ze who were thrown in the corner and silently waiting to die, Lei Bo felt his conscience aching.
After returning to his residence, Lei Bo sat quietly for a while and decided to summon his confidants to plot his way out behind closed doors.
After listening to Lei Bo's description of today's encounter, some people couldn't help but cursed: "My mother, Yuan Shu Ji Ling treated us and the people like this, why should we go against human nature and sacrifice our lives for him?"
Another person echoed: "Yuan Shu sought his own death and harmed the people. We can't bear to help him do this, so why not find another way out?"
"Where can we go? There shouldn't be any princes willing to take us in..." someone asked. Following Yuan Shu to rebel would be a serious crime and everyone would be executed. Who would take us in?
"If no one accepts it, then we can seize the mountain and become the king. Let us brothers go live a happy life!"
At this moment, a soldier suddenly came to report outside the door, "General! A man came outside just now and handed me a letter. He said that the things in it can save your life and that of your brothers. I hope you can
Think carefully!”
"Save us???" Lei Bo and his confidants looked at each other.
After Lei Bo thought for a moment, he asked, "Can you clearly see the face of the person coming?"
"He was wearing clothes like a beggar, and his face was covered in dirt, so he couldn't see clearly at all."
Lei Bo thought that he had no friends in this city, so who might want to save his life?
"Where's the letter? Give it to me quickly!" Lei Bo asked.
The guard held the letter with both hands, "Here it is!"
Lei Bo tore open the envelope and unfolded the soft but tough high-quality white paper. Just after taking a look, he closed the letter abruptly, suppressed his voice and said sternly to the bodyguard who delivered the letter: "Go and call a few reliable brothers to check the surrounding area."
Martial law, no one is allowed near this room!"
"Here!" Seeing Lei Bo's serious expression, the bodyguard did not dare to neglect, and immediately turned around and ran out.
"General, what does the letter say?" A confidant couldn't help but asked out of curiosity.
Lei Bo glared at him and replied in a low voice: "What's the rush? I haven't finished reading it yet."
"..."
After a long cup of tea, Lei Bo finally finished reading a few letters. Perhaps the content in the letters was so shocking that he was still a little stunned.
"General...how are you doing?" Someone else said impatiently.
Lei Bo didn't say anything else this time. He handed the letter over and said, "Read it yourself."
The confidant took the letter and a circle of people cheered around him.
The confidants, who were squeezed and out of breath, couldn't help shouting: "How crowded is it? Do you know how to read?"
"..."
"Li Ergou, who is so stubborn, is it amazing that he can recognize a few words?"
"How about you become a military commander?" Li Ergou asked, glaring at the tall and thick man.
"Forget it, I'm better at fighting..."
"Li Sima, why don't you read it to everyone?" someone suggested.
Li Ergou was surrounded by five or six big men. He looked at Lei Bo, and after getting Lei Bo's consent, he whispered softly, "A certain general is known to be dissatisfied with what Yuan Shu did..."
"Wow!!!"
"Who is this person? How does he know... Wuwu..." After the man said it, someone suddenly covered his mouth. Gu Qi
"Shut up and listen!"
Then Li Ergou continued to read: "If the general helps me capture Shouchun City, the emperor..."
"Hiss!!!" When they heard the word "Emperor", the people around them almost understood, "It's a letter from Cao Cao!"
"But how did he know that we were dissatisfied with Yuan Shu?"
Li Ergou didn't wait for Lei Bo to speak, and directly lit the fire and burned the letter, saying in a solemn tone: "Cao Cao's strength is unfathomable. The person who sent the letter has been lurking in Shouchun City for who knows how long..."
Lei Bo looked at the letter that was quickly reduced to ashes in the flames, took a deep breath, and then asked: "Everyone, what do you think?"
"General, since we are not trusted by Yuan Shu and Ji Ling is taking every possible precaution against us, why don't we just go against it!"
"Yes, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Let's help Cao Cao win Shouchun, and we can legitimately return to the Han Dynasty in the future!"
"General, do it!"
"Done!"
Confidants expressed the hope that Lei Bo would rebel against Yuan Shu.
"But the identity of that person is unknown. What if he is sent by Ji Ling to test the general?" Someone else asked worriedly.
Li Ergou shook his head and said: "The paper is made of high-quality new paper, and the price in Shouchun is extremely high. It is impossible for him, Ji Ling, to use such expensive paper to test it."
"That's right... Army Sima's brains are better!"
"Stop talking nonsense, let's wait for the general's decision!"
Lei Bo saw everyone looking at him and thought of his current gloomy situation. He finally calmed down and said:
"Yuan Shu was unkind and harmed the people. I, Lei Bo, will never be able to follow him and do evil.
Brothers, rebel!"
"Reverse!!!"
"General, let's make preparations in advance!" Li Ergou temporarily acted as Lei Bo's dog-headed military advisor.
"Yes!" Lei Bo nodded in agreement, and then called the guard who delivered the letter and asked, "Did the person who sent you the letter tell you how to reply to the letter?"
"He said that if the general is interested, he can go to the bookstore in Xicheng at midnight tonight to discuss it in detail."
"Sure enough, it's a bookstore! Only bookstores opened by the United Chamber of Commerce can use that kind of precious white paper to send messages!" Lei Bo's suspicion was confirmed, and his trust in this matter suddenly increased.
...
Let us say that after Xun You, Cheng Yu, and Jia Xu worked out a complete plan over and over again, they were troubled by the fact that they could not pass the news to Lei Bo in Shouchun City.
After the three people proposed and rejected many ideas, Cheng Yu suddenly had an idea in his mind and said: "We have no way, but one person may have it!"
Xun You leaned forward and asked, "Who?"
Even Jia Xu showed a slightly serious look. He really couldn't imagine anyone who could be so capable of passing the news to Lei Bo without letting anyone find out.
You know, Shouchun City is under complete martial law at the moment. Not to mention the people, even flies have to peel off a layer of skin before they fly in!
When Cheng Yu saw Xun You and Jia Xu looking at him, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Lu Changsheng!"
"Lu Qiaoqi?!" Xun You was a little surprised, "Can he fly in without anyone noticing?"
"What are you thinking about?" Cheng Yu rolled his eyes at Xun You and explained: "Chang Sheng and Feng Xiao have a special organization called Shadow, which is a place that specializes in cultivating and training spies and shadow guards!"
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Why haven't we heard of it?" Xun You and Jia Xu looked at each other in surprise.
"That's because your relationship with him is not strong enough!" Cheng Yu was somewhat showing off, but he was indeed one of the elders who followed Cao Cao.
Jia Xu asked: "Zhongde, do you mean that there may be an immortal shadow guard in Shouchun City?"
"It's not possible, it's certain!" Cheng Yu said with certainty.
