After Han Sui finished speaking, his lieutenant immediately said: "Since the general has this idea, I think only two brothers, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, are the most suitable."
"How about we take a look at General Ma's reply tomorrow and make a decision?"
"This also avoids hurting the brotherhood between the general and General Ma."
When Han Sui heard that his lieutenant was thinking so thoughtfully, he said, "Okay, I will do as you say!"
"If tomorrow he tells me that he still insists on having his own way, then don't blame me."
"After all, a good bird chooses its tree to rest. No matter what, I have to find a way out for my brothers."
"I, Han Sui, have had enough of staying in this borderland that is always bitterly cold!"
These words were not only the true thoughts of Han Sui himself, but also the true thoughts of all the border soldiers.
If you beat those foreigners, there is almost no room for advancement. What's more, the soldiers are fighting for their own survival, and now they have such an opportunity before them.
If he were to work for the already-extinct Han Dynasty, those brothers would have no idea how much they would complain.
They can stay in this bitter and cold borderland for another lifetime, but they don't want their children to be like them.
At this moment, Li Jue and Guo Si in Gongyang were living and drinking, relying on the soldiers and horses in their hands to act recklessly. None of the officials dared to resist them, for no other reason.
It's just that the Han Dynasty has perished. If they are officials, who are they serving as officials?
To the people? It’s a pity that the people don’t recognize them. Should it be given to the Han Dynasty? But now the Han Dynasty has perished, and there is no more Han Dynasty.
After drinking for three rounds, Li Jue said to Guo Si: "You said, the two of us have searched the place where Dong Zhuo once lived in Gongyang several times."
"But I haven't seen the Imperial Seal. Do you think it could be that our brothers have hidden it?"
"Otherwise, we can also experience what it's like to be an emperor."
After Li Jue finished speaking, he burst out laughing. But there was no joy in his voice, instead it was full of depression.
How could Guo Bang not know Li Jue's plan? He simply thought that he had hidden the so-called imperial seal.
But it is true that I have never seen the Imperial Seal, and I have even looked through the city lord's mansion many times.
But the imperial seal was still not found, and the only ones who left Gongyang at that time were Lu Bu and his Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.
They had never seen Lu Bu enter Dong Zhuo's home before leaving, so they all thought that Lu Bu would not have time to steal the imperial seal.
So it was natural to suspect the other party, which is why this scene happened.
Guo Bang: "Is it possible that you and I have worked together for more than ten years, and now you, Li Jue, want to suspect me, Guo Bang, of hiding the imperial seal?"
"Or are you, Li Jue, thinking that I have aspirations of becoming emperor? That's why you hid the imperial seal?"
It has to be said that Guo Si was still very angry after being suspected by Li Jue. After all, although he himself had suspected that Li Jue was hiding, he would not question the other party like this.
What's more, this guy Li Jue has been too out of touch during this period. He was afraid that the world would not know that the Imperial Seal was lost, and Li Jue himself did not think about what would happen if the Imperial Seal was in their hands.
At that time, the princes of the world will surely attack.
Who would have known that after Guo Si finished speaking, Li Jue laughed sinisterly and said, "I didn't say that General Guo hid himself, but General Guo was actually so excited."
"Is it the imperial seal or are you really hiding it?"
Li Jue's last words were obviously filled with murderous intent. He stared at Guo Bang, but his hand had already touched the sword at his waist.
It looked like they were about to start fighting at any time, which made those ordinary people feel great pressure.
However, when Guo Si saw Li Jue's appearance, he concluded that Li Jue had bitten him to death.
No matter whether he got the imperial seal or not, he would not leave the scene peacefully in the end. Thinking of this, Guo Bang became more and more angry.
Then he drew his knife and pointed it at Li Jue and said, "Li Jue, it was I, the general, who hid the imperial seal."
"But now, how are you doing?"
Now Guo Si was so angry that he wanted to fight Li Jue to decide the outcome.
Because he really couldn't stand such anger, he clearly didn't hide the imperial seal. But Li Jue became more and more pushy, not only doubting him but also letting him go.
He still wanted to attack himself without evidence, or it could be said that Li Jue's target was never the Chuanguo Jade Seal, but Guo Bang.
After all, as long as Li Jue kills him, he can completely own an army of 100,000. No one can resist such a temptation!
Moreover, Guo Si himself had such an idea, but Li Jue was just one step ahead of him. Therefore, the two people now just fell out in advance.
However, when Li Jue heard what Guo Si said, he said directly: "Well, Guo Si, I didn't expect you to actually hide the imperial seal."
"I, Li Jue, really underestimate you, Guo Si."
"In that case, for the sake of us being brothers in the past, let's come to the school field to show off. If you lose, take hundreds of people and get out. I won't harm your life."
"But if you don't dare to accept the challenge, just hand over the jade seal you have hidden. That way you and I will still be brothers."
Li Jue completely regarded Guo Si as a fool. He was just afraid that Guo Si would jump over the wall if he lost.
If Guo Bang himself does not take the initiative to hand over the imperial seal, even if he kills Guo Bang now, he will not be able to achieve his desired goal.
That's why he came up with this strategy, and besides, Guo Si couldn't beat the current Li Jue. Otherwise, Li Jue would not be so relieved, as he would have believed that he had killed Guo Si.
Guo Si himself was very clear about Li Jue's thoughts. He knew that Li Jue would not let him go no matter what.
Everything he said now was just to trick himself into handing over the Imperial Seal, but he didn't know where the Imperial Seal was.
He also really wanted to know how Li Jue felt after knowing the truth, but unfortunately he didn't have the chance to see it.
Now that he is surrounded by swordsmen and axemen arranged by Li Jue, even if he wants to find soldiers to fight, he has no chance.
He could only blame himself. He knew that Li Jue was such an ambitious person but didn't take precautions. He naively believed that as long as he had soldiers and horses in his hands, Li Jue would not dare to touch him, so he was asking for trouble when he ended up like this.
But now, Guo Si is disgusted with Li Jue no matter what. Even if he died, Li Jue would regret it greatly in the future. If he didn't know where the imperial seal was, couldn't he make one up?
Thinking of this, Guo Bang said: "If you dare not, you and I will fight to the death!"
"If you, Li Jue, win, I will tell you the hiding place of the Imperial Seal without saying a word!"
After saying that, he strode outside in a hurry.
Li Jue: You still have some backbone. You know clearly that you can't beat me, but you still dare to fight to the death with me.
He is indeed a man. In this case, the general will grant him his wish.
Then Li Jue followed him out, but what Li Jue didn't know was that Guo Si didn't even know where the imperial seal was.
If they knew that the Imperial Seal was given to Li Ru as a dowry, they might be so angry that they would vomit blood.
At this moment, Guo Si, holding a sword, was waiting for Li Jue on the school grounds for a long time.
When Li Jue arrived, Guo Bang had not forgotten to taunt him: "I thought you didn't dare to come. Now that you are here, it is destined that only one of you and I can leave here today."
"Choose your weapon!"
Li Jue stood opposite Guo Bang and said: "In view of our past friendship, as long as you tell me where the imperial seal is hidden."
"Then I will give you a way out and give you enough gold, silver and jewels to go home and become a rich man."
"While the battle hasn't started yet, there is still room for maneuver."
Guo Bang looked at Li's face and felt very disgusted. I didn't expect that he would still be so hypocritical until now.
No wonder Dong Zhuo was never reused when he was here. He turned out to be such a person.
Guo Bang clenched the long sword in his hand and said: "No need, life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are in heaven!"
"Guo Si is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Today you and I fight, even if I am not as good as others and die in your hands, I will not complain at all."
I have to say that Guo Bang was still very tough at this moment.
He refused Li Jue's charity and went to die without hesitation.
Li Jue did not continue to speak, but also drew out the long sword in his hand and prepared to attack. The soldiers around him were all Li Jue's men.
Even Guo Si's most trusted lieutenant became Li Jue's man. This was the real reason for Guo Si's failure.
Both of them are first-class military generals, although they are not yet at the top. But Dong Zhuo's men also relied on their illustrious military exploits to achieve success.
A gust of wind blew by, and the two people moved their hands at the same time. The sound of swords sounded, and the two fought for more than ten rounds in a short period of time.
Guo Bang shouted: "Come again!"
He was so determined that even when facing death, he would stand and die.
The two collided again, and after dozens of rounds of fighting, both sides suffered some skin injuries.
Although it looked like he was covered in blood, the damage was not serious.
Li Jue gasped and said, "Guo Si, admit defeat!"
"As long as you are willing to tell me where the jade seal is hidden, I will let you go home and become a rich man as promised. What do you think?"
To be honest, the difference in strength between the two of them is indeed not very big. If Li Jue wanted to kill Guo Bang one-on-one, it would not be an easy thing to do, so Li Jue was willing to settle for the second best.
But these words were so ironic and ridiculous in Guo Bang's ears.
It was already halfway through the life-and-death fight between the two people, but it was at this time that Li Jue said such words.
From this point, it can be seen that Li Jue is definitely not qualified to be emperor. Even if he really knows the hiding place of the Imperial Seal, Li Jue cannot keep it.
But Guo Bang still said jokingly: "What? Are you scared, Li Jue?"
"However, I really have no interest in rich men."
"After all, I, Guo Si, have no one to rely on and no worries, so naturally I have nothing to worry about."
"Let us fight to our heart's content!"
It's hard to believe that Guo Si can still say these words in such a state. After hundreds of rounds of fighting, the damage he suffered was obviously heavier than Li Jue's.
After all, he never used a sword when he went to the city, but was accustomed to using a spear. Besides, he had been fighting for so long now, and he was already exhausted.
What he wants next is not a fight, but a process of actively seeking death.
He knew that Li Jue was cautious now because he was afraid of accidentally killing him. After all, if he died, no one would tell Li Jue where the imperial seal was hidden.
Li Jue himself couldn't do anything about Guo Si's stubborn character. After all, although his strength was slightly stronger than Guo Si's, he couldn't crush him.
Otherwise, you can defeat Guo Si without worrying about accidentally killing Guo Si.
Li Jue had no choice but to fight Guo Si again. When the two were fighting with all their strength, Guo Si's strength suddenly became much weaker.
As a result, Li Jue's spike stabbed directly into Guo Bang's chest. When the black blood flowing out of Guo Bang's mouth dropped into Li Jue's hand.
Only then did Li Jue react. He hurriedly stepped forward to support Guo Bang and said, "Guo Bang, tell me quickly, where did you hide the Jade Seal of the Kingdom?"
"Speak quickly, or it will be too late!"
Guo Bang looked at Li Jue's panic, and he didn't know how happy he was in his heart. Although he was about to die, he still weakly said to Li Jue: "Jade Seal, I hide it, hide it..."
Li Jue became anxious when he saw Guo Si mid-sentence and asked quickly: "Where are you hiding?"
Guo Bang vomited a large mouthful of blood on Li Jue and continued to imitate: "Zang... is here, Dong... Zhuo..."
Before he finished speaking, he took his last breath. His hands also dropped to the ground. The most uncomfortable thing was Li Jue.
From his perspective, what Guo Si originally wanted to tell himself was even halfway through. But dying suddenly was too uncomfortable for him.
Fortunately, there are some clues in what Guo Si said, but he only said the word Dong Zhuo. There was nothing else, which troubled Li Jue very much.
After putting Guo Si's body down, Li Jue said, "Come here, put General Guo's body away."
"Find a good place to bury him and let him rest in peace!"
For the sake of past feelings, Li Jue still planned to let Guo Bang's body be laid to rest.
As for himself, he was sitting aside and thinking about what was behind the word Dong Zhuo that Guo Si said, but he himself had no clue.
Perhaps, even if Li Jue is beaten to death, he will not believe that Guo Si even performed a Li Jue act when he was about to die.
After a while, Li Jue stood up again and said to the deputy general beside him: "Leave now and go immediately to comfort General Guo's subordinates and gather them together."
"Rewards should be given, don't be so stingy."
"Then I asked Guo Si's bodyguards to wait for me at the City Lord's Mansion. I have something to ask them!"
Lieutenant General: "No, my subordinates will do it immediately!"
After thinking about it for a while, Li Jue decided to ask the people closest to Guo Si during his lifetime. There might be some clues, after all, he believed that Guo Bangdou was about to die.
It's not as if he was lying to himself. After all, Guo Bang had always been a man of his word, so he was deeply favored by Dong Zhuo.
