Xun You felt that something was wrong with this matter from the beginning, that is, the Liangzhou Army in Chang'an City was too quiet.
If nothing else, there is no doubt that Han Sui's methods were very destructive.
Liu Bei and Fu Xie were manipulated by him. The most important thing was that it was the first time they faced this style of play alone. To be honest, after they lost the initiative, they were really led by his nose.
After all, neither of them had anyone who could compare with him in terms of scheming.
This is Han Sui's strength, but also their vulnerability.
But Chang'an should not be like this, especially this time it was clear that Han Sui intended to use the Xiliang army in Chang'an.
But the reaction of the Xiliang Army was too strange.
Li Jue and Guo Si didn't say a word, and didn't even have the intention to send troops. However, they were defeated twice by Han Sui, and Fan Chong lost a clean face.
At this time, he was squatting under Chang'an City. Several chases were happening not far in front of him, but Fan Chou had no intention of interfering at all.
If it were placed on others, perhaps Xun You would also say that military orders are like mountains, and Fan Chou restrained his anger in order to protect Chang'an City, etc.
But this is the Xiliang Army.
When did the Xiliang Army still have military discipline and military orders?
If they had this thing, Dong Zhuo would not be scolded like that by the people in Luoyang City.
The Xiliang army was famous for its impulsiveness, factionalism, disobedience to discipline, and the barbarism of the Qiang and Hu Xiongnu.
Xun You was a minister in the Luoyang Dynasty back then, and he had a deep understanding of the Xiliang army.
In Xun You's view, the wars in the Yongliang land have almost never stopped in these years. Dong Zhuo has led them from the era of old general Zhang Huan to the present.
It makes them so strong that they are somewhat unsightly, and can even transcend the scope of the art of war.
No matter what we face, the army just needs to press forward.
Therefore, the army in Xiliang was not defeated by the princes of Guandong, nor was it defeated by the famous families in the world. These guys were completely killed by themselves.
Therefore, in Fan Chou's case, it was obvious that someone forcibly ordered him not to do anything and to stay calmly.
After entering Chang'an, Xun You became more certain about this matter. He immediately looked for Li Ru, but found that Li Ru was not in Chang'an city.
And after he visited Li Jue, after careful testing, Xun You also got a surprising result.
Li Jue is indeed very afraid of Liu Bei now and is very careful about his attitude, but he doesn't know why he should be so careful about Liu Bei.
To put it bluntly, there was a person whom he respected extremely, who repeatedly asked and even ordered him to be cautious when facing Liu Bei.
Combined with Fan Chou, it is self-evident who this person is.
In Li Ru's view, Han Sui's method was definitely not a clever plan. What he did at this time must be because he wanted to take advantage of this incident.
It can even be said that he and Han Sui had already made a deal on this matter from the beginning.
Until now, it is still unknown whether everything that happened to Han Sui was part of Li Ru's calculations or whether it was part of Li Ru's plan.
But Xun You knew that there was only one reason that could force Li Ru to take action now, and that was the existence of that person.
"Why."
Xun You couldn't help but sigh, but Li Jue did not restrict any of his actions. Even if he wanted to leave the city, there was no problem.
But now he can't change the facts no matter where he goes. He doesn't know whether Li Ru will succeed, but he has to be prepared for the next step, just in case if he does succeed, Liu Bei will be beaten by him without the ability to fight back.
After all, we are here to help, and even if it is not perfect, we must try to save as much room as possible.
"I have to prepare my court uniform again and go to meet His Majesty."
Xun You muttered to himself as he prepared the imperial uniform from his luggage. This was what the imperial court had prepared for him when he was recruited again.
It's just that he originally planned to never wear it again, but now he has to go to see His Majesty. It's fate.
And when he took out the bottom court dress, he also saw the letter and silk that he had pressed under the court dress.
This was a letter sent to him by his uncle Xun Yu, and the content in it really moved his heart. However, he was just waiting for the letter from his family and Yanzhou.
Now that he saw this letter again, Xun You was stunned for a moment, and finally shook his head with a wry smile.
"It's not the time yet. Let's talk about it after we finish the things here."
He pressed the letter with a lot of clothes and then carefully protected it. Xun You dressed neatly and walked slowly towards the palace.
At this time, somewhere in Liangzhou, a large army was quietly gathering. Their composition was quite mixed, with less than half of the Qiang Hu, 30% of the Northland Xiongnu, and some Hexi Xianbei. The remaining Han people were also His face was full of ferocity.
The leader had his hair tied up in a black scarf, wore leather armor, and held a blood-stained ring-headed knife. His face was a little ferocious and a little excited.
Next to him was a middle-aged scribe with a smile on his face. It was Li Ru, the military advisor of the Xiliang Army whom Xun You was looking for.
And the person leading this was the same fierce bandit who had the same cholera in Yongliang that year, and finally managed to escape with his life. Heshou Ohan giant bandit, Song Jian.
Song Jian was also a giant invader in Liangzhou, a member of the cholera side. He relied on his reputation in the Heshou generation and was very familiar with the terrain there. He had a very friendly relationship with the Qiang, Hu, Xianbei and even the Xiongnu.
He is domineering and has always been regarded as a local bully.
When Yongliang was in chaos, Song Jian seemed to have seen an opportunity and wanted to get a share of the pie and get more benefits.
It's just that he met Yongliang Tiantuan, Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei, and even Sun Jian, Tao Qian and others.
Taking this lineup as an example, let alone the Song Jianhe Kingdom, if you send any prince in the world over, he will instantly turn into the second fool in the village and run away.
In addition, Han Sui, the troublemaker, was involved in the process.
So it was no surprise that when the kingdom died, Song Jian escaped quickly with his quick eyes and hands. After returning to Panhan, he said he would never come out to interfere with Yongliang's affairs again.
There are no benefits, but staying alive is better than anything else.
Until Li Ru came to him some time ago.
Li Ru is just a doctor from the Han Dynasty and does not have any actual power. This makes many people puzzled, after all, given Li Ru's identity and status.
Even if the current emperor doesn't give him a reward, Dong Zhongying shouldn't let him just have this status.
But this is the fact, and no one can say anything.
However, official position could not change Li Ru's ability, let alone Li Ru's status. As a native of Liangzhou, Song Jian was very aware of this person's ability and status, so he gave him full respect.
Li Ru did not treat him badly and gave him a deal.
That is, taking advantage of the ongoing fighting between Han Sui and Liu Bei and Fu Xie, let Song Jian send troops from Panhan and directly use the land in Hexi as a cover to surprise Jincheng County.
Li Ru's request was very simple. He wanted Song Jian to massacre the city and massacre the entire Yunwu County without leaving a single person alive.
As a reward, Li Ru would give Song Jian the title of Protector Qiang Zhonglang General and the title of Hou Hanhou.
For Song Jian, this deal was simply a blessing from God. He was a huge bandit, and he had done massacres not once or twice.
This is tantamount to letting him continue to plunder Jincheng County. As for massacring the city, in his eyes, it is not even cruel.
Song Jian had not thought about Li Ru's purpose of doing this, but Li Ru just told him a few words to dispel his doubts.
"I and Liu Bei are destined not to get together, and of course I can't get together with Fu Xie, so you don't have to worry that I will join forces with Liu Bei and Fu Xie to harm you."
This was the first sentence. Song Jian had no doubts about Li Ru's words, because based on Li Ru's current reputation and character, he was naturally hostile to Liu Bei, the man from Jincheng County who was known for his elderlike demeanor.
When these two people come together, it's no different from dreaming.
This has to be like a nightmare.
Li Ru said the second sentence immediately after.
"Liu Bei's character is not suitable for Yongliang, and he is not suitable to be stationed in Yongliang all the time. Li Jue and Guo Si in Chang'an City may not be his opponent.
Once they lose the support of Yongliang, the foundation of the Xiliang army will be broken.
People without long-term worries must have immediate worries. Those people in Guandong are constantly fighting each other. I won't pay much attention to it, but Liu Bei in this land of Yongliang is a big hidden danger.
If we really let him become a bad guy, it will be too late for me to regret it.
I don't have much time left, so I want to do something for the Xiliang army before I leave, that's all. "
Song Jian didn't want to know whether Li Ru was playing some trick with him here, or if it was really not going to work.
But Li Ru's second reason really moved him.
Liu Bei's existence is simply an anomaly in Yongliang. He is fierce but also virtuous. You must know that this is Yongliang, with Qiang Hu and Xiongnu Xianbei everywhere.
Not to mention virtue, kindness is considered a luxury here.
Although Gongsun Zhu had been decisive in taking charge of Jincheng County in recent years, Liu Bei had to forcefully establish his reputation as the "elder's style" here.
Now that he has officially taken over Yongliang, it is even more extraordinary, as if his reputation for kindness will be completely spread out.
Now who of the people in Yongliang does not envy those in Jincheng County? If it were not for the fact that there is really no room in Jincheng County, I am afraid that more people from Yongliang would migrate to Jincheng County.
I want to live a more stable life.
If Liu Bei is really given a few more years, or Liu Bei is allowed to kill Han Sui, then the land of Yongliang will have nothing to do with his Xiliang army, let alone himself.
Xiliang Army Xiliang Army, without the support of Yongliang, what would they be called Xiliang Army?
Li Ru was right. Everyone was fascinated by the disputes in the Central Plains, but they had forgotten that there was already such a force in the Yongliang land, which was about to cut off the roots of their Xiliang army.
"Brothers, I have been ordered to massacre the city for three days!"
