Chapter 387

Gao Lan was afraid of death, but he was not afraid of death either.Generals are meant to fight on the battlefield, and death on the battlefield is inevitable.Gao Lan is naturally not afraid of being killed if his skills are inferior to others on the battlefield.But now because of being involved in Yingmeng Xianchen's affairs, Gao Lan is afraid if his death is unclear. He doesn't want to die, and a desire to survive fills Gao Lan's heart.

"Don't kill me, I say I say!" Xue Rengui's foot stepped on Gao Lan's heart, and Gao Lan felt a burst of difficulty breathing, and immediately begged for mercy.

"Tell me everything you know, and if you dare to lie, I will never forgive you!" Xue Rengui said coldly.

"At that time, Zhang Shigui came to find Ju Yi, and I was taken there. I was already awake at the time. To save my life, I deliberately pretended to be unconscious, so I heard everything they said!"

Xue Rengui sharpened his eyes and said, "What did the two of them say?"

"It turned out that Zhang Shigui was sent by Le Jin to monitor Ju Yi. At that time, they..." Gao Lan told Xue Rengui all the conversations between Zhang Shigui and Ju Yi at that time.

"So I'm Ying Meng's virtuous minister, not Ying Meng's rebellious minister? Did he want to use me to help him? At the beginning, I only told him about my identity as Xue Rengui. Unexpectedly, he took advantage of the loophole and wasted a year of time. This villain is really hateful!" Xue Rengui said angrily.

A villain has harmed me, but I am still grateful to him. One year is enough for me to do too many things, and there is still a woman in my family who is in a difficult situation.Thinking of this, Xue Rengui clenched his iron fist tightly, and his bones gurgled.

"Xue Rengui and the others framed you, what else do you have to go back to Youzhou, Youzhou can't be used to its full potential, it's a bunch of villains, why don't you come back to Jizhou with me!" Gao Lan was unwilling and continued to seduce Xue Rengui.

"Youzhou can't make the best use of everyone? They are all villains? You forgot that Ju Yi ran over from Jizhou? If it wasn't for him, I would have ended up in this situation?" Xue Rengui said coldly.

Gao Lan's face was stunned, and he forgot that Ju Yi was the scum who ran over to Jizhou.But Gao Lan continued: "Even if you were framed by Ju Yi, so what? Zhang Shigui colluded with Ju Yi. So what if you return to Zhuo County, there are thousands of them, and you are with me again. If they say you colluded with me, You can't argue with a hundred words, and you can't escape death!"

Xue Rengui's eyes changed for a while, and finally his expression became firm: "I believe Zhang Shigui will help me. I want to go back to Zhuo County. Even if I die, I will have no regrets."

"If you want to go back to Zhuo County, let me go. I won't die with you!" Gao Lan shouted immediately.

"With you, I still have a glimmer of life. Without you, I really can't argue!" Xue Rengui snorted coldly, squatted down, and hit Gao Lan on the back of the neck with a palm knife. It was inevitable that something happened to Gao Lan, but Xue Rengui directly Gao Lan was knocked out.

It was dark now, it was already dark, Xue Rengui sat down and took out the dry food on his body and started to eat.After filling his stomach, Xue Rengui thought about it: "Zhang Shigui should really help me. No matter whether he is a minister who should be a good minister or a minister who should be a rebel, I must go back to Zhuo County. If Liu Yu treats me unfairly, I will kill him." Chong Wai will go to Luoyang in person!"

"Heaven will send a great mission to the servants. They must first suffer from their minds, exhaust their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and do what they do! So move your heart and patience, and increase what you can't do! I, Xue Rengui, have experienced this. After this ordeal, we must be cautious in the future and learn to know people!" Xue Rengui secretly warned himself while reading the old saying of Mencius.

"Big brother!"

"Brother, where are you?"

At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes from the south, and Xue Rengui heard a cry vaguely. Xue Rengui raised his eyebrows and immediately shouted: "Zhou Qing, I am here!"

Zhou Qing and others rode their horses to come, Zhou Qing hurriedly asked: "Brother, what's going on, Ju Yi said that you colluded with Gao Lan to assassinate, our brothers didn't believe it, so we chased after him."

When Xue Rengui told the four of them, Zhou Qing and the others were filled with righteous indignation: "Brother, since Zhang Sima is helping you, we are willing to accompany you back to Zhuo County to meet Lord Liu Yu. This villain, Ju Yi, actually framed Brother like this!"

"Okay, with a few brothers to accompany me, Xue Rengui will die without regrets in my life! Let's go!" Xue Rengui got on his horse, and the group headed north.Since all the boats around Yishui were collected by Le Jin, Xue Rengui and others had to detour for more than ten miles before finding a few fishing boats, and they went to Zhuo County overnight.

Early the next morning, when they boarded the camp first, the cavalry rushed to report: "It's not good, General, Yan Liang's army is heading north toward Yishui."

"Going to Yishui? They want to cross Yishui and attack Zhuo County?" Ju Yi raised his eyebrows.

"That's right, they cut down trees along the way to cross the river, and there are cavalry patrolling around to guard against us, but they are moving forward lightly, with [-] soldiers and horses guarding the food and supplies!" The scout clasped his hands.

"What? They actually gave up food and supplies and moved forward lightly?" Ju Yi said in shock.

"Oops, they have seen through our plan and imitated us to fight lightly. In this way, our tactics will not work against them!" Zhang Shigui frowned.

Ju Yi's face turned livid, he thought up this tactic, but now it's only three days, so it won't work?

Ju Yi had lost his mind at this moment and quickly asked Zhang Shigui: "What should I do now?"

"Can the soldiers and horses they left behind to guard the luggage be guarded by cavalry?" Zhang Shigui asked the scouts.

"There are no cavalry, only ten thousand infantry!" replied the scout.

"Yan Liang is determined to capture Zhuo County. General Le Jin will definitely return to assist Zhuo County when he learns that his troops are marching lightly. In this way, you will return to Zhuo County with the trapped camp!" Zhang Shigui thought.

"how about you?"

"They have [-] soldiers and horses staying to guard the supplies. They will not just wait like this. What if they plunder Yi Nan? So I will lead the cavalry to guard against them. If they send troops to plunder, I will Take the opportunity to attack and find an opportunity to cut off their retreat!" Zhang Shigui said in a deep voice.

"Okay, I'll take the lead and go back to Zhuo County!" Ju Yi nodded.

On the other side, by the Yishui River.

On the Yishui River, boats spread all over the river, covering the sky and covering the land for several miles.Most of the soldiers and horses are stationed on the boats to rest, and there are cavalry patrolling on the river bank.

Le Jin was resting on a boat when suddenly a few cavalry rushed forward and reported to Le Jin Bing: "General, Yan Liang's army has arrived a few miles behind them and they are going forward lightly. They will build logs along the way. It is estimated that they will be able to finish in half an hour. We've arrived at Yishui."

"Go to the camp first? Why didn't you make a surprise attack?" Le Jin asked in a deep voice.

"They don't have food and supplies, and the surrounding cavalry is strictly guarded. They can't make a surprise attack if they go to the camp first! But there are only about [-] soldiers and horses!"

"Are they going to attack Zhuo County with all their heart? Then the situation will be very serious. We can't delay their marching lightly. Now that Zhuo County soldiers have not assembled yet, let's go back to Zhuo County!" Le Jin immediately ordered to return to assist Zhuo County.

Twenty thousand soldiers and horses immediately crossed Yishui. After crossing the river, Le Jin ordered the ships to be cut down and burned.Take the soldiers and horses and rush back to Zhuo County.

Two hours later, Yan Liang's army also built ships for logging, crossed Yishui, leaving 500 men to guard the ships, and 4 horses went straight to Zhuo County.Not long after, Ju Yi also found a narrow river, collected boats and crossed the river.

This is the case with war, with endless schemes, ever-changing, and no trace.Ju Yi's plan to go out of the city to fight and delay Yan Liang's troops still failed, and the battlefield still had to start in Zhuo County.

Xue Rengui rushed back to Zhuo County first, but it was already ten o'clock in the evening of the second day.At this time, Zhuo County was facing a big enemy, and the soldiers from the surrounding counties rushed back to Zhuo County to garrison, and Liu Yu commanded from the tower.

Xue Rengui rushed back suddenly, and Liu Yu summoned several people to ask: "Xue Li, you didn't fight in Ju Yi's army, why did you return to Zhuo County? Did you just run away?"

"My lord, the villain's name is not Xue Li, but Xue Rengui!" Xue Rengui said seriously.

"Xue Rengui?" Liu Yu said with a cold face: "Many generals and academies in the army know about your Majesty's virtuous minister Ying Meng. I don't know when it will be leaked to let you know. Why, you also want to take this opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step. ?”

During this period of time, there were quite a few people pretending to be Xue Rengui, but Liu Yu saw through them all, because his talent was too rubbish to pass the exam.Liu Yu already had a bad impression of Xue Rengui, but when Xue Rengui said this, Liu Yu became even more disgusted.

"You are obviously Xue Li, how dare you pretend to be a worthy minister of Ying Meng?" Liu Yu said angrily.

"At the beginning when the villain came to deliver the letter, he didn't want the letter to be a big secret. The villain was worried that you would kill me and harm his wife and children, so he called himself Xue Li. But the messenger didn't say who he was going to send the letter to and unfortunately died. It is also helpless for the villain to open the secret by mistake. The villain is willing to take the risk of beheading and still insists on delivering the letter to the envoy. Isn’t it loyal? Please don’t lose money when I opened the letter Virtue while ignoring my own loyalty!" After thinking for a long time, Xue Rengui finally figured out why Liu Yu couldn't understand him, and he also complained about Liu Yu, bowing down and bowing down, saying neither humble nor overbearing.

Liu Yu raised his eyebrows. At the beginning, he really thought that Xue Rengui was a villain who lacked virtue and opportunistic because of Xue Rengui's act of breaking the letter.Therefore, Liu Bian's second letter said that Xue Rengui was the one who sent the letter, and he automatically ruled out the possibility of the person in front of him.

Although Liu Yu was old-fashioned, he was not arrogant. After listening to Xue Rengui's words, he also fell into thinking. If he really lacked virtue, how could he take such a big risk to deliver the letter?After all, it is possible to get huge benefits, or it is possible to be killed.

"Many people in the army know about the search for Xue Rengui. Why did you come to my officer today to explain? Is this a critical moment in the war?" Liu Yu asked suspiciously.

"Your Excellency, Rong Bing!" Xue Rengui arched his hands, and told Liu Yu how Ju Yi deceived him, captured Gao Lan, injured Yan Liang with an arrow, and how Zhang Shigui helped him when Ju Yi wanted to kill him yesterday. .

"This Ju Yi, I kindly took him in. Who would have thought that he would dare to hide from me the matter of Ying Meng Xianchen, and even wanted to harm you!" Liu Yu said angrily.

"Xue was deceived by Ju Yi at the beginning, and every day he only wanted to be able to make meritorious deeds, so as to avoid the charge of Ying Meng's rebellion. Xue was loyal to the big man and His Majesty, and please learn from him!" Xue Rengui bowed to Liu Yu.

Seeing Xue Rengui's sincerity, Liu Yu hurriedly supported Xue Rengui, cupped his hands and said, "At the beginning, I didn't like you because you mistakenly dismantled the secret, and this matter is my fault!"

Liu Yu paused and said: "However, the battle is urgent now, and you came with Gao Lan again, so I can't trust you completely! In this way, you should stay in the mansion first, and don't move around. When Ju Yi comes back, I will How about the officer asking you to confront him face to face?"

Xue Rengui nodded when he heard this, and cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency, it is normal to listen to my words now, but you cannot believe me. Even if you put me in prison, I am convinced. However, Yi Nan's war is urgent, and there were many loopholes in Ju Yi's strategy back then. If Yan Liang's soldiers and horses also abandon their luggage, they will definitely not be able to delay them. I am afraid that within two days, Yan Liang's army will surely come to the city! My lord does not believe me. There is nothing wrong with me, but Xue has a plan, and my lord must listen to it, otherwise Yan Liang's army will rush to Zhuo County, everywhere The people will suffer!"
