Farmer of Shu Han

It was already nightfall when Mrs. You returned from the palace to the Protectorate of the Central Capital.

Moreover, the Habayashi Army guarding the palace personally escorted them back.

Because at this time, Chang'an City has entered the curfew time.

No one can walk on the street without a night pass.

In a certain hall of Zhongdu Protector's Mansion, the lamps and candles were bright, illuminating the whole hall as if it were daytime.

As soon as Zhang Xiaosi came in, he saw General Guan sitting on his seat with a calm face, as quiet as a sculpture.

General Guan, who was motionless, raised his head slightly and looked over: "You're back?"

Zhang Xiaosi didn't seem surprised that General Guan was waiting for him here.

She nodded, with a little tiredness on her face:

"Well, I'm back."

"how?"

"The palace has sent a fast horse to Shangdang."

"That's good."

After saying this, General Guan fell silent.

Zhang Xiaosi walked to the side, picked up the teacup and just wanted to drink it.

"Don't drink tea when you're thirsty, lest you can't sleep at night, drink plain water."

General Guan suddenly said another sentence.

"Oh." The weather was too hot, probably because he was really thirsty, but he didn't notice it for a while, so Zhang Xiaosi changed another cup.

It was only then that he drank it all up.

General Guan just looked at her quietly.

Zhang Xiaosi drank the water, pursed his lips, and said:

"If Guo Xun really did it carefully, then this time, Wu people are very likely to be involved."

"Um?!"

When General Guan heard this, his eyes flickered, and his already straight body became even more upright, "What do you say?"

"The timing was perfect."

Zhang Xiaosi leaned all his body on the chair, regardless of his posture, looking a little tired:

"It all happened so coincidentally, as if it had been arranged long ago."

She leaned on the back of the chair and let out a sigh of relief: "This is the conclusion that my sister, um, and the queen have discussed."

Having said that, she added, "Well, of course, and Your Majesty."

"If Guo Xun really did it carefully, nine times out of ten it was carefully arranged by the Wei thief, and the picture will not be small."

Weaving nine parts of the real and one part of the false identity and experience, not only did it hide the rough people like Wei Yan.

Even the Central Capital Protectorate, who deliberately sent people to investigate, almost ignored the past.

Guo Xun pinched the turbulent period of power redistribution after the death of the prime minister with incomparable precision.

He took refuge in Wei Yan, whom people were unwilling to associate with at the time, and thus became the confidant of General Zuo Hussar of the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Xiaosi closed his eyes, with a bitter tone:

"Now we can only hope that Guo Xun is not the work of Wei thief."

"Don't hope!" General Guan directly interrupted her, "When you went to the palace, I thought about it carefully."

"What? My sister has discovered something new?"

General Guan sneered:

"It's not a new discovery, but just like what you said just now, everything is really a coincidence. Don't forget, Wei thief's change in Zhiguan a few days ago."

"In the past, we thought they were trying to contain the forces of Hedong, so that Hedong could not go to support Wei Wenchang to attack Gaodu."

"Now it seems that we thought the culprit was too simple. The culprit was simply a preparation for attacking Shangdang!"

Logically speaking, knowing that the southern army was stationed in Hedong, the thieves should stick to the pass.

In this way, we can maximize our strengths and avoid our weaknesses.

After all, the prestige of the great Han iron cavalry has spread throughout the world.

If the thieves really dare to enter the flat land like Hedong, how can they resist the iron cavalry of the big man?

But the bandit army at Zhiguan made a gesture of wanting to leave Zhiguan.

It doesn't make sense at all.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaosi's face instantly turned pale:

"So, isn't Guo Xun the second Yinfan?"

"Yinfan?" General Guan felt that the name was familiar, but couldn't remember it for a while.

"Ten years ago, the espionage that was sent to the state of Wu by the Wei thieves finally caused turmoil in the court of the state of Wu."

Zhang Xiaosi explained, "At that time, my sister and A Lang were in Xiaoguan, fighting Cao Zhen for life and death, so it's normal that I can't remember it for a while."

Yinbo, who was in the state of Wu back then, hastily launched a rebellion after his identity was exposed.

Although the rebellion was quickly suppressed, many important ministers of the state of Wu were implicated, and some were even forced to commit suicide.

Even Sun Quan's son-in-law, Zhu Ju, was not spared.

He was dismissed from office and confined at home for four full years. It was not until Wu Guo sent people to the big man to learn the method of riding and fighting that he was reinstated.

After listening to Zhang Xiaosi's explanation, General Guan finally remembered this matter.

Seeing that her complexion finally changed drastically, she suddenly said:

"If Guo Xun is really a secret agent sent by the Wei thief, this person's harm may be much greater than that of Yinbo!"

Zhang Xiaosi smiled wryly: "Who said it wasn't?"

Although Yinbo caused turmoil in the court of Wu State, but at any rate they did not succeed in rebelling.

At this time, Guo Xun was quite different from Yinfan.

Wei Yan not only believed in Guo Xun, but also sent him to guard Huguan.

Once this person raises troops to cause chaos, the Shangdang will be in danger!

At that time, the harm it will cause to the Great Han Dynasty Hall is simply unimaginable.

Wei Yan is an important minister in the court and a general in the army, and even leads an army alone!

It's really getting out of hand, and it's inevitable that the North Korean army will have to go through some cleaning.

Because if you don't do that, it's not enough to deter newcomers from Guanzhong and Bingzhou.

Otherwise, the aristocratic family that was finally tidied up will definitely start to have a bad heart again.

But cleaning is never a good thing, it only creates a situation where everyone is in danger.

The peaceful and peaceful political situation of Dahan these years will be seriously damaged.

General Guan snorted, glared at Zhang Xiaosi angrily, and strode out the door without looking back.

Zhang Xiaosi had a bitter expression on his face, he didn't dare to look at General Guan squarely, and even looked away deliberately, feeling a little guilty.

Because she knew that General Guan was not angry with herself.

It's my elder sister, the queen's own elder sister.

It is true that the emperor of the Han Dynasty was surnamed Liu, but the country of the Han Dynasty was brought down by countless loyal people who sacrificed their lives.

I don't know how many people's wealth and lives are tied to the Han Dynasty.

So this country doesn't just belong to the Liu family.

If not, why did Emperor Gaozu make an oath with many heroes to kill the white horse?

How did the former Han and the later Han die?

It's nothing more than the words "people's hearts turn against each other".

That night, I don't know how many people couldn't sleep all night, and at the same time they prayed in their hearts that Shangdang was safe.

It's just a matter of the world, and nine out of ten people don't know it.

There are some things, the more afraid of what will come, the more it will come.

However, in just a few days, the traffic between Hedong and Chang'an suddenly increased sharply.

Smoke and dust billowed on the official road, all of them were cavaliers carrying command flags and galloping wildly on their horses.

"Report! The Hedong Army's situation is urgent!"

Another Chuanqi rushed to the gate of Zhongdu Protector's Mansion like crazy.

"Plop!"

Again, before the horse stopped, the man rolled off the horse's back.

Only this time, Chuanqi was much worse than the last one.

There were streaks of blood on the scorched lips, and the blood vessels on the exposed hands and neck had burst purple.

Three people rushed out from the gate of Zhongdu Hufu, one went to rein, and the other two went to help Chuanqi.

"Urgent, hurry..."

Before Chuan Qi could finish speaking, he had already passed out.

The guards groped Chuanqi's body for a while, and quickly found the urgent letter and the military amulet to prove his identity.

The chicken feathers on the letter had been glued together, and somewhere in the envelope, which represented an emergency, was as red as blood, which seemed to remind the urgency of the letter.

General Guan's heart sank when he heard that the Red Army came to report the time from Hedong!

After reading the contents of the letter, General Guan, who was always calm, was furious on the spot.

She slapped the table with her palm and cursed angrily:

"Old man Wei Yan, you should be killed!"

"Wow!"

The case table withstood General Guan's palm, but the utensils placed on the case table jumped up from the shock.

Some fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

I have never seen General Guan such a servant who lost his composure, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to vent his breath.

Zhang Xiaosi who got the news hurried over and saw General Guan like this.

I don't know whether I was frightened or had a premonition, my legs were a little weak, I stopped on the threshold, held the door, and asked in a trembling voice:

"Sister?"

General Guan looked at Zhang Xiaosi, took a long breath, forcibly suppressed the jumping anger in his eyes, and said word by word:

"Guo Xun led the thieves into Huguan, and the Wei thieves have taken over the eldest son, cutting off Wei Yan's retreat."

"What?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaosi felt her eyes darken, and her body shook, as if she wanted to fall down.

But her eyes fell on the letter paper in General Guan's hand, and suddenly she hurried forward and snatched the letter.

The letter was sent by Zhang Bao from Hedong.

To be precise, it was delivered by Wei Yan through Zhang Bao's hand.

There is usually not only one copy of such important military affairs.

In order to prevent getting lost on the road, several groups of people will be sent out to send them out.

And these groups of people will eventually be divided into two groups.

One was sent directly to the palace, and the other was sent to the Zhongdu Hufu.

Wei Yan was not under the jurisdiction of the Central Capital Protectorate, so the military newspaper he sent was naturally the first one.

But such a major matter, he certainly can't hide it.

Therefore, Zhang Bao didn't dare to delay for a moment after knowing the details of the Shangdang matter, and immediately sent Chuanqi to Chang'an.

The Palace and the Central Capital Protectorate received the news almost at the same time.

After Zhang Xiaosi finished reading, he could no longer stand still, his knees softened, and he sat down on the ground:

"how so?"

"The situation is even worse than we expected!" General Guan gritted his teeth and said, "The thieves have planned this long ago!"

If the thieves hadn't made preparations, the situation in Shangdang would definitely not have deteriorated to this point in a short period of time.

Even Lu Xun's invitation to Alang to go to Wuguan to attack Wei's bandits together may be a part of the game's design!

"what should we do?"

Zhang Xiaosi, who has always been as cunning as a little fox, has become confused at this time: "Ah Lang, Ah Lang is not at the house..."

General Guan's expression was also extremely ugly:

"That's right, Alang is not in the house at this time, how can he manage the overall situation?"

On weekdays, I feel that Alang is doing nothing all day long.

But now that the sky is falling, the first thing they think of is A Lang who seems to be hanging around the house all the time.

Without him at this time, the family seemed to have lost their backbone.

General Guan took two steps back and forth, and then remembered something:

"I'm going to the Qianfu to gather the staff!"

She had just stepped out of the threshold when suddenly another female guard trotted over in a hurry:

"Ma'am, there is a gentleman in the front yard who sent someone back, saying that he has an urgent letter to hand over to you."

What the female guard said made General Guan feel like a man who was dying of thirst when he suddenly encountered rain from the sky.

"Your Majesty?"

"Exactly!"

"Quick, let's go!"

General Guan walked towards the front yard like the wind was blowing under his feet.

Sitting paralyzed in the room, Secretary Zhang heard the words outside the room, and his eyes, which were originally somewhat dark, suddenly burst into light.

The strength in her whole body seemed to come back all at once, and she got up in a jerk, and ran outside the house to have a look.

General Guan's figure was about to disappear beyond the arch, and the guards behind him couldn't even trot to keep up.

Secretary Zhang quickly lifted her skirt and followed.

Of the guards sent by Feng Duhu from Caoqiao Pass, only three of them could rush to Zhongduhu's mansion at this time.

The rest of the people all fell on the road.

They either exhausted their strength or gave up all their horses to their comrades.

And the three people who were able to go back to the house were also in a terrible state of distress, not to mention their bodies were full of mud and dust, and they looked worse than refugees.

"Where's the letter from the lord?"

Mrs. Zuo just appeared at the door, before waiting for a few people to salute, she asked impatiently.

The captain of the personal guard hurriedly took out the tarpaulin from his arms, and before he could speak, Mrs. Zuo hurried forward and snatched it away.

With a shaking of his hand, he pulled the oilcloth, took a careful look at the mud seal, and tore it apart after making sure it was intact.

Feng Duhu's letter was not long, only a few short sentences.

Mrs. Zuo scanned ten lines at a glance, her face was a little pale, and she said to the three of them:

"You go down and rest first."

At the same time, he put away the letter on hand, turned around and left in a hurry.

Madam You, who was following behind, ran out of breath, without even seeing a word, Madam Zuo had already passed by her in another gust of wind.

Madam You patted her chest, wanting to take a breath for herself, but after taking a breath, she felt a stench rushing straight into her lungs, making her want to vomit.

Mrs. You, who was already anxious, couldn't suppress her anger immediately, and was furious:

"Where did it come from..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw three people dressed as personal guards coming out of the house.

When the three of them saw Madam You, they hurriedly saluted again:

"I've seen Mrs...."

Madam You subconsciously wanted to cover her mouth and nose, but realized something was wrong, she quickly put her hands down, and tried her best to look solemn:

"Get up. You are tired all the way, go to rest quickly, don't be too polite."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand to make them retreat, then turned around and chased after Mrs. Zuo.

After finally returning to the inner courtyard, I found out the location of Mrs. Zuo from the mouth of the servants, only to find out that Mrs. Zuo had gone to the Zhendong General's Mansion next door.

This is the first time that Mrs. You dislikes the fact that her house occupies too much land.

When she was out of breath and found Mrs. Zuo, General Guan had already tied a man's hair in a bun and put on the Wubian crown.

At this time, she was stretching her arms, asking the maidservant to serve her in formal clothes.

Seeing General Guan's appearance, Secretary Zhang was taken aback: "Sister, you are..."

General Guan glanced at Secretary Zhang, his eyes were dark and his face was calm:

"Enter the palace, please see Your Majesty."
