Li Li's face was flushed when he was said, and he quickly apologized to Fan Cho, but he hated Fan Chou in his heart and decided to find an opportunity to take revenge.

During the battle a few days later, Fan Chou and Li Li fought together. Fan Chou took the lead and fought bravely, and was invincible. The morale of the soldiers of Xiliang was greatly boosted, and Han Sui and Ma Teng's army was defeated step by step. Li Li was not willing to fall behind. In order to compete for merit, he also took the initiative and led the army to chase and kill. As a result, he killed more than 10,000 Ma Teng and Han Sui's coalition forces in this battle.

Ma Teng and Han Sui couldn't bear such a big defeat. They knew that they could no longer gain a foothold in Guanzhong, so they decided to retreat to Liangzhou.

However, he did not expect that on their way back, Fan Chou actually led his army to chase and kill him.

Ma Teng and Han Sui's army had just been defeated, and their morale was low and they could not fight against him. At this time, Ma Chao, who was just seventeen, said to Ma Teng: "Father, if it really doesn't work, we will fight with him."

But Ma Teng shouted: "How old are you? How dare you speak loudly?"

Seeing that his father was angry, Ma Chao had no choice but to retreat in despair.

At this time, Han Sui said, "Actually, what the virtuous nephew said is not unreasonable. If it really doesn't work, we will concentrate our troops to fight him to the death. I want to see if Fan Chou is really determined to fight us to the death?"

Ma Teng felt that what Han Sui said was also reasonable, because in military art, the enemy should not pursue, because the enemy was afraid that the party being chased would turn over and fight to the death. As a result, the party being chased may suffer losses. Fan Chou pursued so relentlessly, but in fact he had committed a taboo in military strategists. Since that is the case, he would simply fight with him, and there would be a glimmer of hope. If they were allowed to chase him behind, they would be really dangerous.

Therefore, the back teams of the two sides changed to the front team and were ready to face the enemy.

Not long after, Fan Chou led his army to arrive, but Fan Chou had no intention of fighting and said with a loud laugh: "Brother Shoucheng, Brother Wenyou, brothers have not seen you off yet, you just left like this. I am really not friends enough. I came here for dozens of miles away to see you off."

"Hmph, you are this way of seeing off? This is unique. I, Ma Teng, remembered that if you have the chance in the future, you will definitely repay it." Ma Teng had no good feelings for Fan Chou. Among the 10,000 troops over the past year, more than 10,000 were soldiers under his command. Such heavy losses hurt him, but the other party spoke in this tone, how could it not make people disgusted?

However, Fan Chou then said, "Haha, Brother Ma's words are so serious. I'm not to hide them. This time I came to see you off sincerely. I was forced to fight before, and I had to do so. However, after all, one more friend has more ways. It is precisely because of this that I did not continue to expand the results of the battle in the last battle. Everything was the boy Li Li who ignored the overall situation in order to compete for merit."

Then Fan Chou said to Han Sui: "Brother Wenyue, we two are real fellow villagers. Although there were some minor frictions before, they may still be together in the future. I want to talk to you today. I wonder if Brother Wenyue can make me do what I want?"

Han Sui also considered that Fan Chou was now the right general and Wannianhou, and had a noble status in the court, so he would inevitably have some help in the future. In addition, he happened to ask about Yongzhou, so he agreed.

"Brother Fan, I respect you as a general in the Xiliang army. Tell me honestly, is the court going to decide to separate a Yongzhou from Liangzhou?" After agreeing to the talks, Han Sui first raised this question.

"Yes, this is Li Jue's idea. In fact, Li Ru gave him the idea before this. As you think, the purpose of his idea was to weaken your strength. In fact, I also told Li Jue about this matter, don't make such extreme actions. However, Li Jue didn't listen at all, and I had no choice. After all, he and Guo Si are the ones who are the major events in the court. Although I claim to be on an equal footing with them, in fact, hehe, it's better not to say it, so I hope Brother Han can understand all kinds of helplessness. At the same time, I promised Brother Han that he would try his best to persuade Li Jue to withdraw this decision, but I can't predict whether it can be successful..."

"Even so, thank you for your help from Brother Fan." Han Sui had the power to resist, but after this battle, he was unable to fight against the joint efforts of Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou and others, so he had no choice but to pinch his nose and accept it. However, he also secretly decided that after his strength recovered, he would lead his army to attack Yongzhou, the Shang Dynasty of Handan, and truly control the entire Liangzhou.

Then the two of them traced the past relationship in front of the two armies, and said a long time before waving goodbye.

After leaving, Ma Teng did not believe the promise made by Han Sui, for fear that Fan Chou would lead the army to chase him again, so he led the elite palace rear. As a result, Fan Chou did not chase him, so he believed Han Sui's words.

After leaving, Fan Dai felt proud of himself for secretly resolving an enemy, but he didn't know that all this had been controlled by Li Li. It turned out that Li Li had already bribed some of the soldiers around him and asked him to convey the message.

After learning all this, Li Li was ecstatic and immediately told his uncle Li Jue that he had secretly conscripted Fan Chou and had conspired with Han Sui for a long time.

Li Jue was very angry when he heard this. He was heartbroken by Fan Chou. Unexpectedly, he had other plans. In fact, he could easily guess what Fan Chou was thinking now, so he said coldly: "No need to say anything. It's obvious that this guy is inferior to me and Guo Duo, so he has to use Ma Teng and Han Sui as foreign aid to deal with me secretly. I treat him as a brother. He actually did such a thing. Fortunately, you told me about this, otherwise I don't know what's going on when my head is cut off in the future?"

"What should we do? We can't sit still and wait for death." Li Li was very happy when he saw Li Jue angry, and quickly struck while the iron was hot.

"Sit and wait for death? He is worthy?" Li Jie smiled coldly, thought for a moment, and then said to Li Li: "You go and arrange it. I will host a banquet to entertain the hero Fan Chou tonight. It is best if you don't come forward in person to avoid arousing his suspicion. Hehe, Lao Fan, Lao Fan, you are unkind first, don't blame me for being unrighteous. Today's dinner will be the last dinner in your life."

During the banquet that night, Li Jue first praised the soldiers who fought bravely against Ma Teng and Hansui, and achieved great results.

Then he suddenly raised his voice and said loudly: "However, during this battle, someone actually colluded with the rebel Ma Tenghan Sui without regard to the interests of our army. I really don't know what he is interested in? Fan Chou, how dare you admit what you did?"

"What? You, Li Jue, I didn't expect you to slander me like this!" Fan Chou was frightened and furious when he heard this.

However, Li Li then stepped forward to identify and called the personal soldier beside Fan Chou whom he had bribed, to prove what Fan Chou did at the time, and insisted that Fan Chou was colluding with foreign enemies.

Fan Chou naturally denied it, but Li Jue ignored it and ordered Fan Chou to be killed.

Then Li Jue's nephew Hu Feng stepped forward and led dozens of soldiers to siege Fan Chou.

Although Fan Chou was brave, how could he compare with dozens of people with powerful weapons under his bare hands? He was killed by random swords after just a few rounds.

When Li Jue saw Fan Chou die, he was immediately overjoyed and annexed Fan Chou's subordinates with Li Li, Hu Feng and others, and at the same time announced Fan Chou's crimes.

However, what he didn't know was that the Western Liang army had been in division since then, and their days in Chang'an had entered the countdown from then on.
