Chapter two hundred and sixty-six talk on horseback

"The way of doing things is unparalleled among others, and it is an extraordinary weapon that cannot be caught by Ru Cao." [Book of the Sui Dynasty·Yang Su Zhuan]

As a close confidant of Han Sui, Yan Xing had better access to secrets than Jiang Shi and others. He had previously received the news that Zhang Jicai led more than 10,000 troops to move from Xiangwu to Shouyang, and Shouyang County was still separated from Xianghan.

Several counties, including Didao and Daxia, had heavy troops sent by the prefect Li Shen to monitor Han Sui's military activities in Longxi. They could not arrive quietly.

Li Shen has always been deep and wise, and has never trusted others. Even Han Sui, a former ally, was on guard. How could he not be on guard against Zhang Ji, who was eyeing him on the other side? Unless Li Shen had already secretly communicated with Zhang Ji, between the two

Cooperation has been reached between them to jointly target Han Sui.

If this is the case, then Han Sui will be in danger. His total wealth at the moment is only 50,000 to 60,000 people, and Zhang Ji has 10,000 veterans left by Dong Zhuo, and the army in the south has 20,000 to 30,000 Shu soldiers. Hanyang,

There are soldiers stationed in Anding and other places as reserves. There is sufficient food and grass. If the Qiang and Hu soldiers under Li Shen are added to the army, Han Sui may not be able to deal with it calmly once a war breaks out.

Therefore, Yan Xing came here on Han Sui's order to find out how Jiang Jiong and the other Yulin Cavalry came, and where Zhang Ji was behind them.

Jiang Jiran smiled brightly and said straightforwardly: "General Anji led his troops through Daxia City yesterday, and now he is joining forces with Li Gong, the governor of Longxi. We are just one step ahead."

"What?" Yan Xing was suddenly startled, his face turned pale, and he said with a dry smile: "It's so sudden, why didn't you send an envoy to tell me in advance?"

"Sent." Jiang Ji pointed to the slope far away and said confidently: "The son of Duke Zhou of Shuiheng Commandery, Zhou Yu, the Yulin Lang in front of the palace, is the envoy sent by General Anji to report the details this time.

"

Asked here, Yan Xing didn't know what to say, so he had to turn around and look at Han Sui in the military formation. After receiving Yan Xing's message, Han Sui thought for a moment and immediately decided to see the so-called 'messenger' Zhou Yu.

one side.

So he first withdrew all the cavalry down the slope, and Zhou Yu and others led the Yulin cavalry down slowly. From a distance, Han Sui saw this handsome young man with a very leadership temperament in his movements.

A calm and confident look cannot be sustained without a wealth of knowledge and wisdom.

Is it possible that only Guandong can have such outstanding people?

Han Sui secretly sighed. When Zhou Yu came to him, he came back to his senses, stroked his beard and said: "The Zhou family in Lujiang has been famous officials for generations, and they have contributed to the country. I have always respected them. Today I finally got what I wanted.

When I met the young descendants of the Zhou family, I saw that Gong Jin was outstanding in appearance and was indeed extraordinary."

"I don't dare, kid. It's just because of my family background. Mr. Han is the pillar of my great nation in the west, whom the world relies on." Zhou Yu held his fists and said with a faint smile.

From a distance, Han Sui felt that Zhou Yu's appearance was extraordinary. When he got closer, he felt that he was a dragon and a phoenix among people. Even Yan Xing and other Liangzhou people with their stern eyebrows looked a bit tacky. Han Sui watched intently.

Zhou Yu, after exchanging pleasantries, said: "Song Jian was rampant and lawless, so the imperial court ordered me to attack with troops. Now that we have conquered it in one battle, it is time to achieve full success. However, Gong Jin came without warning. Although we are both serving the imperial court,

But doing so would be a bit rude."

In fact, Zhou Yu didn't do any "oriole behind" thing. He, Jiang Jiong and others did come to Panhan as a vanguard to spy on the situation. In the past two months, Han Sui had been saying that the city of Panhan could not be attacked repeatedly.

However, they sent people to cut off the road and no one was allowed to inquire from the front. Therefore, not only the imperial court, but also Zhang Ji and others nearby did not know what was going on in the city.

So they brought a small number of soldiers and horses in order to approach the city of Pouhan as unnoticed as possible, and the identity of the Yu Linqi could ensure that they would not encounter any mishaps when they met Han Sui. Who knew that they could also collide head-on with this?

The last great achievement, although in the eyes of others it was a bit unethical, it was still an unexpected surprise.

"Mr. Han's words are serious!" Zhou Yu reached out and patted the side of the saddle. There was a head of Song Jian tied there. He said generously: "The crusade against Song Jian is the imperial edict given to Mr. Han. Such a great achievement, boy.

I don't dare to be good at it." After saying that, he made a show of removing his head and handed it back to Han Sui: "We are here only to report the military situation, not for this reason. I also ask Han Gong to accept it.

Please congratulate me, it’s my sincere thanks.”

Jiang Shi watched with excitement. Song Jian's head could be exchanged for the title of Marquis, but now that Zhou Yu was so young, he was willing to give up the opportunity of becoming a Marquis. This really shocked him.

Han Sui frowned and glanced at the head. When he saw the familiar head of his old friend, his face was ashen, and the incision on his neck was still dripping with blood, he immediately looked away involuntarily. Han Sui's face was cold.

After a moment, he then smiled and said: "Great achievements naturally belong to those who are capable. How can I take away others' achievements? Since Gong Jin is young and brave and has captured the head of a thief, I will express my love for this and report it to him."

The imperial court, you should have nothing to worry about."

After hearing this guarantee, Zhou Yu suddenly laughed, as if one of his longings had finally been answered. Han Sui was a little confused, but Zhou Yu approached him and said softly: "This head, Mr. Han is not

You are willing to give it up, but you dare not ask for it, right?"

Han Sui was startled, and immediately looked at Zhou Yu unkindly. Yan Xing and others also noticed the difference in the atmosphere, and quietly reached out to touch the hilts of their respective swords.

"Mr. Han, I have to tell you the truth, don't be offended." Zhou Yu seemed not to notice the murderous intent hidden in Han Sui's eyes and the rising murderous intent around him, but he still looked cool and calm. Zhou Yu was sure that Han Sui would never

Dare to murder him at this time, but he could take advantage of Han Sui's mood swings and use words to influence him: "Nothing in this world is simple and easy to obtain. Often you think everything is carefree, but in fact it is all Han Sui's fault behind it."

There are countless difficulties that the public cannot see."

After saying that, Zhou Yu led Jiang Ji and others to rein in their horses, turned around, exposed their backs to Han Sui calmly and fearlessly, and rode away in the direction they came from: "I'll be leaving soon, Mr. Han doesn't have to see me off!"

Yan Xing felt that Zhou Yu's behavior of leaving without saying goodbye was very rude, and he planned to ask for orders to pursue him, but Han Sui stopped him.

"Let them go!" Han Sui stared at the direction Zhou Yu was riding away with a look of confusion on his face.

At this time, Cheng Gongying, who was left behind in Panhan to take charge of the overall situation, came on horseback and said to Han Sui: "The people of Jincheng, Wuwei and other counties have rebelled, and some Qiang and Di have also raised their troops to make trouble."

"What?" Han Sui was shaken. Jincheng and other counties were his rear and the foundation. He couldn't be disturbed no matter what. He hurriedly asked: "What's going on?"

"This year there was a severe drought in Yongliang and there was a shortage of water. Villagers were fighting for water and neighboring villages were fighting each other. The situation got serious and involved the nearby Qiang and Hu civilians, so the trouble got out of hand." Cheng Gongying paused.

After a pause, he added: "This matter must not be that simple. My lord has worked hard in the past few years to greatly ease the relationship between Han and Qiang. It is really strange that it has suddenly caused such a big fuss."

"Are you worried that someone is behind the scenes?" Han Sui's eyes showed a cold light. He knew that although he had always been authoritative in Yongliang, not everyone obeyed him. He secretly took advantage of the tense relationship between himself and the court to

Trying to cause trouble is not unexpected.

But things are far from that: "The He family of Zhangye, the Huang family of Jiuquan, the Yan family of Wuwei, the Wang family and other powerful people seemed to have the intention to take the opportunity to cause trouble when they saw the civil unrest."

Han Sui shouted: "How many times have I told you that making trouble now is tantamount to throwing yourself into the fire!"

Cheng Gongying also said helplessly: "Wei, they don't want to take care of their own states and counties one day. They have already had this intention, but they cannot be persuaded the next time. They have to be convinced by the Lord's relatives."

Han Sui seemed to understand the meaning of Zhou Yu's words. He looked fiercely into the distance. At this time, in the distance, where was the shadow of Zhou Yu and the others?
