Almost as soon as Li Xian finished the order, Chen Dao understood that Li Xian's goal had never been the two cities of Jiangxia and Jiangling, but his fundamental goal was the 100,000 Wu troops and led the white-eared soldiers by himself. The purpose of boarding the ship with Li Xian's eight thousand Euphorbia soldiers and attacking Yidu County was to cut off the southward return route of the one hundred thousand Wu army. Once the entrance of Qutang Gorge was blocked, it would be no different from Han Xin's ten Facing the strategy of ambush, I felt my blood surge.

Before boarding the ship, Li Xian ordered all the sergeants to receive a small bottle of Yunnan Baiyao, and told them to apply it to their temples immediately if they felt any discomfort. This way, there seemed to be very few cases of seasickness along the way.

Inside the cabin of the Qilin.

"Han Xing, how long have you been planning this plan?" Chen Dao asked with interest.

Li Xian said expressionlessly: "Probably after receiving the general's order to attack Soochow."

Chen Dao just shook his head and said: "Han Xing, your plan is too bold and too risky. If the defenders of Yidu find out, I'm afraid all their previous efforts will be in vain!"

"That's why I brought my uncle here," Li Xian responded. "The purpose of this raid on Yidu is to catch them off guard. Even if they don't succeed, they can still disrupt the morale of the Wu army."

Chen Daoyan said: "Then the governor left the city in person, who will be responsible for Yongan? What if Yongan fails?"

"Li Yan is here to take charge, so don't worry, uncle." Li Xian said slowly.

"Zhengfang? Didn't he take a leave of absence for a while?" Chen Dao looked at Li Xian in disbelief.

Li Xian just smiled and said: "What is virtual is real, what is real is virtual, and soldiers are deceitful. Uncle Master, what you see may not be true, just like what we see may not be true." .”

...

In Yong'an City, Li Yan's Mansion.

"Uncle, today Li Xian's army is out of the city to fight. Why not take this opportunity to dedicate Yong'an City to the Wu army. By then, with my uncle's prestige in Sichuan, he will be like Liu Bei!" Gou An said sonorously.

Li Yan was shocked when he heard this: "Why do you have such an idea! How could the late emperor ever treat me badly, Li Yan? Even if I am under Li Xian today, it is still the arbitrary decision of His Majesty's Holy Grace. How can I allow you to make irresponsible remarks here!"

Gou An seemed to be very confident and said bluntly: "Uncle! Don't blame Gou An for being rude!" Immediately, he shouted a greeting and saw hundreds of soldiers rushing in outside Li Yan's house. They immediately suppressed the unarmed Li Yan from left to right. .

"You...you want to rebel?"

Gou An spat: "Uncle! Who are Zhuge Liang and Li Xian? They looted the middle of Sichuan and killed the officials. Today, I will let Li Xian experience the loss of Guan Yunchang in the past!"

"An'er, look back! You are by no means Li Xian's enemy. If you don't wake up today, I'm afraid it will be too late one day!" Li Yan didn't know whether it was heartache or despair, but he could only see two lines of tears falling down.

"Don't worry, uncle, I have arranged for someone to write a secret report on Li Xian's rebellion in the tone of uncle Wada Dali. It is estimated that he should be on His Majesty's leading case at this moment. Even if Li Xian becomes a fish in the river today, he will only He will be known as a traitor and traitor, and no one will rehabilitate him, hahaha!" Gou An smiled coldly, "Zhuge owes me those fifty military sticks, and I will let Li Xian pay for it with his life today. !" Gou An burst out laughing again.

"Turn back!" Li Yan still shouted.

"Stop his mouth!" Gou An ordered, "Go and change all the flags on the city head and tell Commander Quan Cong that Gou An surrendered the city and General Zhengfang held a banquet to celebrate Commander Quan Cong!"

"Yes!" Several of Gou An's soldiers stepped forward and accepted the order. Just as they were about to leave the gate of Li Yan's mansion, suddenly arrows shot straight from outside the house, hitting one of the soldiers in the throat.

Gou An was shocked: "What's going on!"

"Gou An! You have fallen into the trap of our Chief Governor! Why don't you surrender quickly!" Gou An was shocked when he heard that the door of Li Yan's house had been blasted open, but he saw Xu Zhenyi leading a group of people who looked like ordinary people and rushed towards him. Come in.

Gou An was still surprised just now, but when he saw these sergeants dressed up, he couldn't help laughing: "I thought that Li Xian would have many soldiers waiting for me, but I didn't expect that they were all bastards! Hahaha! When I surrounded them, they all had no armor. Chop it up for me!”

"yes!"

Gou An's soldiers were like a pack of wolves after hearing the order, and they rushed forward to fight. However, they never expected that Xu Zhen sighed and slowly chanted like a mantra: " The pearly color tonight will bloom with the full moon. I didn’t expect that the secret order of the Grand Governor would be so poetic. The Night Owl Camp obeys the order! Gou An is extremely close to his own soldiers, leaving no one behind!"

"yes!"

The dead soldier of the Night Owl Battalion sneered, took out the hook lock from his arms, and threw it straight forward. As if he had set his position, he directly caught the front row of Gou An's soldiers, and dragged him to his own formation in just an instant. In the middle, he stabbed wildly. This time, it was Gou An's turn to be shocked again. He felt that his eyes were black, his legs were weak, and he could no longer stand up. The small Li Yan's house was instantly soaked with blood, and the white walls on all sides, They couldn't find a clean place, which frightened the female members of Li Yan's family into crying and howling.

Not long after, all of Gou An's hundreds of soldiers were strangled to death.

"Gou'an! What else do you have to say now that things have happened?" Xu Zhenyi stepped forward and asked sternly.

Gou An smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "I just want to know when Li Xian found out?"

But Xu Zhen stepped forward and raised the knife, followed by Gou An's head flying out. He didn't even have time to close his eyes, and shouted sternly: "You deserve to call the governor by his name! Let me tell you, from the moment you get there, As soon as you pick up the military stick, someone will be watching you!"

As soon as Xu Zhen killed Gou An, he immediately stepped forward and untied Li Yan's restraints. He cupped his hands and said, "The governor ordered me to apologize to the general. I was offended by my words the day before, but now Yong'an City relies on the general."

Li Yan nodded with a wry smile and said: "The day before yesterday, I sang a double recital with the governor in order to lure out the traitor in the city, but I never expected that it turned out to be An'er. That's all. Hey, I raised him too. He is so old, and I have never been willing to hit him since I was a child, so let me collect his body today."

Xu Zhen nodded and said: "The Governor has ordered that as long as the general can protect Yong's safety, I can agree to any conditions."

Li Yan covered his face and cried, and soon he let out a long sigh and said: "It's okay, bury him in Baidi City, I'm afraid the late emperor will blame me. The late emperor loves loyal ministers and good generals the most, so bury him by the river." "

.......

In the city of Chengdu, above the main hall of Shu.

"Your Majesty, these secret troops are absolutely untrustworthy! If the commander-in-chief is changed before the battle, and Yong'an is lost, and the door in central Sichuan is opened, our country will be in danger of subjugation!" Guo Youzhi had already kowtowed and said.

"But the letter written above is true, saying that Li Xian conspired to rebel and drove Tian Dali to death, and Tian Dali was really dead. How can this be false?" Liu Chan asked with some confusion.

"Your Majesty, I feel that Li Xian dared to kill a doctor without permission. As for rebellion, it is not impossible. I think it must have been your Majesty's kindness and honor that made him increasingly arrogant. Such a traitor and traitor must be killed!" Yizhou! Doctor Qin Mi stepped forward and said.

Guo Youzhi knocked his head heavily on the ground: "Your Majesty, Li Xian is a general appointed by the Prime Minister. If he wants to rebel, why didn't he defect to the Wei Dynasty and surrender to Soochow instead?"

"Does the Prime Minister judge people accurately? If the Prime Minister judges people accurately, will there be any mistakes like the street pavilion Ma Su? As for the argument of turning against Soochow, it must be that Soochow offered him a high-ranking official with a generous salary." Qin Mi immediately stepped forward. retorted.

"Your Majesty, I can't say anything to Doctor Qin, but there is no way that Li Xian will defect to Wu. If your Majesty insists on recalling Li Xian, I will..." Then Guo Youzhi took off his high mountain official hat and said, "I will He hit his head and died in this hall!" His sonorous words shocked all the officials in the hall.

"Guo Aiqing, why bother?" Liu Chan said helplessly, "Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, what do you two think?"

Hearing this, Jiang Wan stood up for himself, raised the guard board, and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the key to Li Xian's rebellion currently lies in this letter, and we only need to identify the authenticity of these letters. Determine whether Li Xian is treasonous or not."

Fei Yi stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "I think what Mr. Jiang said is true!"

"According to what you see, how to identify the authenticity?" Liu Chan asked.

Jiang Wan cupped his hands and said, "As long as you find someone with extremely high attainments in calligraphy, you will be able to find the flaws."

Liu Chan heard this and quickly asked: "Who is extremely accomplished in calligraphy?"

"In the past, General Yide's calligraphy was unparalleled in the world. His second son, Zhang Shao, has the legacy of General Yide. He can be ordered to observe it and be able to distinguish the authenticity." Jiang Wan said.

"Hurry and tell Zhang Shao to enter the palace! Also, please put in Zhengfang's daily letters, as well as Tian Dali's."

Fei Yi stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, General Zhengfang has many ink marks, but Tian Dali's ink mark is really difficult to find. I only heard that his grandfather ran a crutch craftsmanship in Chengdu, but he is getting older, so I'm afraid he can't remember it. , or may not be able to withstand the blow of his grandson’s death, and I’m afraid it will be even harder to obtain evidence by then.”

This awakened Liu Chan: "By the way, Tian Dali didn't get married a few months ago. Why did he forget about it today? I went to call Tian Dali's wife and just said I needed Tian Dali's writing."

"yes!"

.......

Within the Wu Kingdom Heavenly Prison.

Sun Quan, dressed in plain clothes, sat on the ground with Lu Xun. Sun Quan was the first to speak, "Bo Yan, do you know why I want to put you in prison?"

Lu Xun shook his head coldly and said, "Your Majesty, I really don't know. Please let your Majesty know."

"You should never threaten me." Sun Quan said lightly.

Lu Xun could only smile bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, I have never meant to threaten, let alone use my troops to respect myself, it's just..."

"Just what?" Sun Quan asked.

"It's just that, Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is the orthodoxy of the dynasty. Even if Lu Xun died today, and there are still Gu Yong, Zhang Zhao, and Buzhi, hasn't Your Majesty thought about the defeat of Yuan Benchu ​​and Liu Jingsheng in the past? If you abolish the elder and establish the younger, I A great disaster for Wu is not far away!" Lu Xun kowtowed.

"Enough! This is my family matter! Do you allow you to worry about it?" Sun Quan shouted angrily.

"Your Majesty, I have no intention of colluding with the prince. This is basically a national plan. The emperor has no family affairs!" Lu Xun said sincerely again.

Sun Quan stood up suddenly, his face obviously getting more and more ugly, and he said slowly: "You have an army outside today, and you can still control the prince. If the prince succeeds to the throne in the future, who can control you!"

The words struck Lu Xun like a bolt from the blue, and he immediately collapsed in the corner. In the past, this was not the same His Majesty Wu who was chatting and laughing with him after the Battle of Yiling, but more like a different person. His words shocked him. I was speechless for a while.

"Bo Yan, if future generations talk about it, then I have failed you, but I will never allow people like Cao Cao and Wang Mang to appear in my country of Wu. Maybe you are not today, but once you ascend to that position, your Ambition and your desires are like uncontrolled beasts. They will make you feel itchy and unbearable. They will force you to move forward and forward again, like a ghost, leaving you unable to eat or sleep." Sun Quan said. road.

When Lu Xun heard this, he burst into tears, but had no way to argue, so he could only say: "Your Majesty..."

"I don't believe it. My prince-in-law will be worse than my royal brother's prince-in-law!" After saying that, he left with a flutter of sleeves, leaving only a desperate Lu Xun huddled against the wall.
