Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2790 Hatred deepens, Guo Jia's plan

Chapter 2786: The deepening hatred, Guo Jia's plan

After the Battle of Dunqiu ended, Lan Yu led his army back to Puyang. After all, the Wei and Ming coalition forces were exhausted after successive battles with Jia Fujun and Feihu Army, and they also needed to recuperate to recover their combat power.

But after arriving in Puyang, Lan Yu declined Le Cheng's request to enter the city for three reasons:
One is that after encountering Jia Fu's onslaught, Puyang's defense has not yet recovered.

Second, Lan Yu didn't know much about how much food and grass there was in Puyang City and whether the materials for defending the city were sufficient.

Third, and most importantly, Jia Fu was seriously injured, and the person who could succeed Jia Futong and lead Dunqiu Qin's army must be Li Cunxiao.

In the Battle of Dunqiu, Li Cunxiao easily defeated Niu Kui, the most powerful general in the Central Plains, and blocked the onslaught of [-] Wei and Ming coalition forces with [-] flying tiger troops. Obviously stronger than Jia Fu.

Lan Yu was worried that Li Cunxiao would go to war immediately after taking over the military power. If the Ming army were in Puyang City by then, Li Cunxiao would be blocked in the city, thus losing initiative and mobility, and could only hide in the city and be beaten passively. Well.

Lan Yuning took some risks and was unwilling to be passive, so he rejected Le Cheng's request to go to the city to recuperate, and only asked Le Cheng to provide food, grass and ordnance to the Ming army.

At this time, in the Ming army camp, Lan Yu looked at the map of Dongjun and frowned involuntarily.

"Both Bai Qi and Huang Feihu headed straight for the white horse, but Li Cunxiao didn't respond. What the hell is he waiting for?"

Lan Yu couldn't help muttering to herself, and at the same time found that Li Cunxiao was different from what was reported in the information.

In the intelligence of Wei, Song, Ming and Three Kingdoms, the description of Li Cunxiao is undoubtedly not impulsive and reckless. After all, if he is not reckless, how can he do such a thing as breaking through the great master and single-handedly singled out Li Tang Yiguo by burning internal energy?

But after Lan Yu fought against Li Cunxiao, she found that Li Cunxiao was not what the intelligence said.

In the battle of Dunqiu, Li Cunxiao appeared at the most critical time and left at the most suitable time.

The timing Li Cunxiao chose to retreat coincided with the time when the Flying Tigers charged and killed them. After [-] to [-]% of their physical strength was exhausted, they still had enough physical strength to break through.

If this opportunity is missed, the Flying Tiger Army's physical strength will be severely exhausted, and its combat power will definitely drop significantly. Even if it can finally break through the encirclement, it will definitely suffer heavy losses.

It was precisely because of this that Lan Yu felt that Li Cunxiao was not reckless. After all, he had a good grasp of the fighting opportunity, and he was neither greedy for merit nor fond of fighting. He did not look like a reckless man.

Although Li Cunxiao's current military strength is not many, but coupled with the mighty Flying Tiger Army, Lan Yu is still very afraid, so he has been paying attention to the movements of Dunqiu Qin Army.

"Governor, it's not good, General Niu Ruyi, he, he..."

After hearing the guard's words, Lan Yu suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, and asked quickly, "How is General Niu Ruyi?"

"General Niu Ruyi, his injury relapsed and died."

"what?"

Lan Yu suddenly exclaimed, and rushed directly to the ward without saying a word. After all, Niu Ruyi was also one of the top five fighters under his command, and his death would obviously affect the Ming army's combat power.

When Lan Yu arrived, Niu Ruyi's ward was already full of people, and those surrounding the bed were his brother Niu Kui's family.

Seeing Lan Yu coming, everyone present gave way tacitly, and only then did Lan Yu see Niu Ruyi who had lost her breath.

Sapphire showed a look of sadness on her face, but she was still more puzzled, so she asked, "Brother Niu, what's going on? Although General Ruyi's injury is serious, it's not fatal. How could he suddenly relapse and die?" death?"

Lan Yu subconsciously felt that Niu Ruyi's death had something hidden behind it. After all, how could a dignified master-level master die suddenly when his injuries were not fatal?There is obviously a problem here.

Niu Mowang was still immersed in the grief of his younger brother's death, so he didn't hear Lan Yu's words, but Niu Hong who was on the side replied: "My second uncle and I both used a medicine that can quickly recover from injuries but avoid alcohol. Second Uncle, he drank too much while recuperating, and as a result, the alcohol caused the wound to burst, and he died suddenly after the injury was compounded."

Hearing this, Sapphire was completely speechless.

If it was other generals, he didn't believe that the other party dared to drink during the alcohol prohibition period, and even drank himself to death.

But if it was Niu Ruyi, Sapphire was a little uncertain. After all, Niu Ruyi was extremely addicted to alcohol and was a full-fledged alcoholic.

For an alcoholic like Niu Ruyi, not drinking alcohol for more than ten days is extremely tormenting. After the alcohol addiction, he may just want to relieve his cravings, but he did not expect to drink too much by accident, and then the wound burst. Will die suddenly.

Lan Yu felt that this might be the truth, but she still asked Niu Ruyi's attending physician, and the conclusion he reached was the same as he thought, and the autopsy doctor did not find any toxins from the corpse.

"Wait, that's not right, where did the wine come from in the barracks?"

Lan Yu suddenly frowned, and pointed to the crux of the problem, that is, there is no wine in the army, where did Niu Ruyi get the wine?
The military regulations of the Ming army clearly stipulated that drinking and possession of alcohol was strictly prohibited during the war, and military laws would be imposed if violations were made.

As a high-ranking general, Niu Ruyi naturally would not know the law and break the law, and every time he was addicted to alcohol and wanted to drink, he would leave the camp to buy it himself, and he would not bring the wine back to the military camp after drinking.

Now that Niu Ruyi is still recovering from his injuries, even if he wants to drink, he can't buy it by himself. Someone must have bought it for him, so who is this person who bought him wine?

After listening to Sapphire's analysis, everyone's expressions changed drastically. After all, if someone really bought the wine for Niu Ruyi, then this person knew the law and indirectly caused Niu Ruyi's death.

Niu Mowang's expression also became extremely ugly. He had clearly told his younger brother that he must not drink alcohol while he was recovering from his injuries, and he had also ordered his personal guards not to buy alcohol for his younger brother, but he never expected that someone would dare to disobey his order. court death.

Niu Mowang immediately ordered a thorough investigation of Niu Ruyi's personal guards to find out who knew the law and broke the law to buy wine for his younger brother. As a result, it took less than an hour to find out who bought the wine.

It was indeed one of Niu Ruyi's personal guards, but that guard seemed to know that he was bound to die, so he hanged himself in fear of sin, and left a letter explaining the cause and effect.

In the suicide note of the guard, he said that he did not want to buy wine for Niu Ruyi, but after Niu Ruyi became addicted to alcohol, he had to be forced to buy it, otherwise he would have to look good. However, Niu Ruyi drank himself to death. He also knew that his crime was serious, so he took the initiative to die, and only asked the general to let his family go.

After reading the letter, Sapphire sighed, and handed the letter to Niu Mowang, and Niu Mowang's face turned livid after reading it, obviously unacceptable to such a result.

If what the guard said was true, then he really didn't blame him for secretly buying wine. After all, Niu Ruyi forced him to buy it, but in the end he drank himself to death, which is simply ridiculous.

Not only Niu Mowang couldn't accept it, but the young Niu Hong couldn't accept it even more, and shouted angrily:
"No, it wasn't the wine that killed my second uncle, but Li Cunxiao. If Li Cunxiao hadn't injured my second uncle, how could he have died of drinking? Li Cunxiao was the real culprit who killed my second uncle."

Hearing what his son said, Niu Mowang was stunned for a moment, while Ming Tie Fan reprimanded him: "Shut up, with Li Cunxiao's strength, it's easy to kill you and your second uncle.

Li Cunxiao has shown mercy, now your second uncle died because of drinking too much, but you put all the blame on Li Cunxiao, what is the reason for this?Do you think the whole world owes you Niu's family? "

Niu Mowang originally had hatred for Li Cunxiao because of his younger brother's death. After all, what his son said was right, if Li Cunxiao hadn't seriously injured Niu Ruyi, he wouldn't have drunk himself to death because of drinking.

But after hearing what his wife said, Niu Mowang couldn't help but suddenly realized.

Yes, Li Cunxiao has shown mercy, otherwise his son and younger brother would die, and now his younger brother's death has nothing to do with Li Cunxiao, so what right does he have to blame Li Cunxiao?
Niu Mowang naturally understood such a simple truth, but Niu Hong did not.

In the same day, he first learned that his mother was assassinated by the Black Ice Terrace, and then his second uncle died of a recurrence of his drinking injury. This made Niu Hong completely overwhelmed by anger. He himself is not the kind of reasonable character.

Therefore, after hearing his mother's reprimand, Niu Hong was so angry that he yelled at his biological mother: "Mother, why do you want to speak for the enemy?

Even if the second uncle was at fault for drinking privately, it was Li Cunxiao who injured the second uncle first. Now that the two sides have formed a big enmity, you don't stand by the boy, but speak for the enemy instead. What's the reason? "

When Ming Tiefan saw that his son, who had always been well-behaved, dared to yell at her in public, she felt wronged and sad. She just didn't want the hatred between the two sides to intensify, so she just talked about the matter, but she didn't expect her son to be unreasonable at all.

"It's true to say so, but you must always be reasonable, Hong'er, don't let your anger get carried away and you're not able to tell right from wrong..."

Before Ming Tiefan could finish speaking, Niu Hong interrupted him directly.

"Home is a place for emotion, not reason."

"you you……"

Ming Tie Fan was directly stunned by his son and was speechless. He pointed at his son "you" angrily for a long time, but he couldn't say a word. Finally, he said angrily: "You can do it yourself, mother will never care about you again. It's gone." He walked away angrily.

As the father, Niu Mowang just watched the quarrel between Niu Hong and Ming Tieshan's mother and son, but didn't say a word, and his heart was also entangled because of the quarrel between the two.

On the other hand, Ye Dingzhi was eating melons the whole time, but he also didn't say a word, not because he didn't want to say it, but because he knew that Niu Hong had lost his mind, and now he wouldn't listen to whatever he said.

Ye Dingzhi's confirmation of Niu Ruyi's death was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface. After all, they had just arrived in Puyang, and Niu Ruyi died, which was too much of a coincidence.

In addition, the chain of evidence for Niu Ruyi's death is too complete, and he died in the camp of the Ming army under the protection of Wanjun. Even Ye Dingzhi couldn't find any faults, but this is precisely the biggest problem. .

Ye Dingzhi now believed what Li Xiaoyao said. Someone in the Three Kingdoms Alliance wanted to sow dissension, so as to pull the devil into the water to fight Daqin. The previous target was himself, but now it is Niu Mowang and Niu Hong and his son.

Ye Dingzhi believed that once he told his uncle his doubts, it would surely arouse the vigilance of Niu Mowang, an old Jiang Hu, but he was powerless to deal with his cousin Niu Hong.

According to Ye Dingzhi's observation, Niu Hong only expressed resentment for the death of his second uncle, Niu Ruyi, but not much sadness. He didn't even shed a tear.

Niu Hong has been dazzled by anger, he just wants revenge and vents his anger, and he doesn't think about the consequences at all, and his various reactions can no longer be described as unreasonable, they are paranoid to the point of nonsense.

Niu Hong believed that it was Niu Ruyi who was killed by Li Cunxiao, and also the Ming Iron Fan who was assassinated by Daqin Heibingtai, and he didn't even listen to his parents, so how could he listen to his cousin? He rationally chose to shut up, because he knew that no matter what he said, it was useless.

Ye Dingzhi left with Ming Tie Fan, but before leaving, he had a private conversation with Niu Mowang, and took a deep look at Niu Hong.

Ye Dingzhi hoped that Niu Hong would be more rational, since the trouble really got to the point where it couldn't end, but don't blame him for killing his relatives righteously.

"Go back to Mount Tai." Ye Dingzhi said coldly.

--------

Yingchuan, Yangdi.

"My lord, news came back from the Black Ice Terrace in the Eastern Commandery that Ye Dingzhi and Ming Tiefan have returned to Mount Tai, but they failed to take Niu Hong away." Duanlanghui reported.

"Ugh……"

Guo Jia couldn't help sighing, and said to himself with some headaches: "Cao Wei really has his eye on Niu Hong, and he wants to use this silly boy to sow discord, so as to pull the devil into trouble."

"My lord, if that's the case, let's just tell the Demon Sect directly. Why bother sending people to ambush Ye Dingzhi while sending people to protect Ye Dingzhi?"

　Princess Iron Fan’s surname has been changed. She used to be named Luo. Later, the author checked and found that China really has the surname Ming, so she changed her surname to Ming.
