Chapter 142: Ingenious Stratagems and Tigers Fight

In Chang'an City, in a luxurious mansion, a young man came to the bedroom and said to a middle-aged man with a frosty face: "Father, the news came. Li Jue really killed Fan Chou today. The child had already inquired. Now all the generals in the Xiliang army are in danger. Even Guo Si is a little dissatisfied with Li Jue's behavior of killing Fan Chou without authorization."

The middle-aged man sneered and said, "I have said a long time ago that Li Jue and Guo Si are both young masters, Fan Chou is a mediocre person, without any other long-term vision, and there is still hostility between each other, there will definitely be internal strife. We only need to take the opportunity to get things done, and big things will be accomplished. What I worry about is Li Ru'er. Now that Li Ru is stabbed, there is no wise man in the Xiliang army. I just need to use a little trick to make them kill each other. It's a pity that Zhong Fu, Ma Yu and Liu Fan and others accidentally did things, exposed their identities, and were killed by Fan Chou, and Zhang Chao also left with Pei Qing. It is said that he has become an important counselor under Pei Qing's command and is highly valued. Xu Yu does not know where to go. Otherwise, with the more than 2,000 soldiers under Zhang Chao, we will have greater achievements..."

Of course, this middle-aged man is Zhu Jun, a famous general at the end of the Han Dynasty. The reason why he chose to cooperate with Li Jue and Guo Si was actually just a vain and then took the opportunity to get things done. However, he did not expect that neither Zhang Chao nor Xu Yu would understand his intentions. He was extremely disappointed with him and they all defected to the wise leader. Even Zheng Hun followed Zhang Chao to join Pei Qing, which made Zhu Jun feel very bitter. However, no matter what, his loyalty to the Han Dynasty was never shaken. In his opinion, for the sake of the Han Dynasty, some losses were nothing. When everything was revealed in the future, I believe everyone would understand their loyalty.

At this moment, I heard a servant outside the door report that it was Jia Gong, the nephew of the Shizhong Jia Xu, who asked for a meeting.

Zhu Jun was surprised when he heard this and said to himself: "What are he here to do?"

The young man next to Zhu Jun was his son Zhu Hao. After hearing this, he immediately said, "It must be on behalf of Jia Xu."

"This is naturally. Jia Xu is extraordinary. This person knows the way to advance and retreat. After breaking Chang'an, Li Jue and Guo Si wanted to make him the Shangshu Ling, but Jia Xu insisted not to do so, so he became the Shizhong. Even so, Jia Xu was different from the ordinary Shizhong. Even the Shangshu Ling Pei Mao did not dare to underestimate Jia Xu, especially his son Pei Qian is still in Pei Qing's camp, and many things are actually impossible to decide. Since Jia Xu is from the Xiliang Army, sending his nephew to visit at this time must have a deep meaning, so we must be careful."

When Zhu Jun said this, he was no longer as full of energy as before, with a look of contempt and vigilance.

However, although Zhu Jun has been appointed as the Grand Marshal, he cannot refuse. After all, Jia Xu represents the generals of the Western Liang army, and now it is not the time to compete with the other party.

So Zhu Jun asked Zhu Hao to go to the door to greet him.

A moment later, Jia Gong came to the hall and saluted Zhu Jun. After the greetings, Zhu Jun asked, "I wonder what kind of expensive things are there for my nephew to come to my mansion?"

Jia Gong hurriedly bowed and said, "The reason why the lower magistrate came here was mainly because he was ordered to report the murder of Zhong Fu and others. After Zhong Fu, Ma Yu and Liu Fan were killed, Fan Chou took his body back to Chang'an for public display, and his family was also killed. Now Fan Chou has been executed, but they have not been posthumously awarded positions. What does this mean? No one should say? However, when the lower magistrate was ordered to investigate the masterminds who informed Ma Teng about the news, he found that these people had frequently appeared in the Taiwei's mansion. Moreover, after investigation, the lower magistrate found that they were originally disciples and former officials, who were originally Taiwei's disciples. If the two generals Li and Guo knew about this, would they suspect Taiwei?"

"This, hum, this is simply a slander. They did go in and out of my mansion, and they also said that they wanted me to take the lead in dealing with the two generals Li and Guo, but I firmly refused. What they did after that is not something I can know." Zhu Jun quickly defended himself when he heard this, and secretly broke out in a cold sweat. He really didn't expect that the other party would investigate so carefully. When he issued orders to Zhong Fu and others, he was always late at night. He didn't expect that this was touched by someone. This shows that Jia Gong's ability is extraordinary, and Jia Xu is even more terrifying, because he could think of finding a breakthrough here.

"It seems that I still underestimate this Jia Xu. Although he is low-key, his vision is fierce and his ability to plot is no worse than that of Li Ru. I originally thought that without Li Ru in the Xiliang army, I could do whatever it takes to do, but I didn't expect there were experts here. However, since he came to the door on his own initiative, it proves that he did not intend to tell the secret, but just used it to threaten himself."

However, although as the saying goes, the snake hits seven inches, Zhu Jun now feels like a snake. He could have done everything, but now his seven inches is exposed to Jia Xu, putting himself in danger.

Sure enough, Jia Gong spread his hands and said, "Taiwei, you don't seem to be useful to explain these to the officials. You need to believe them, General Li and Guo."

This sentence undoubtedly threw out the last trump card, which made Zhu Jun unbearable at all. So Zhu Jun snorted and asked in a deep voice: "What do you want?"

Jia Gong didn't go around in circles and said with a chuckle: "Taiwei, don't get angry, the lower lord has no other intentions. The lower lord just informed the Taiwei. Such a matter has been suppressed. The investigation results will definitely make other statements. However, if the generals of Xiliang fail in the future, please give us a high priority."

Zhu Jun was relieved when he heard this. It seemed that Jia Xu was also loyal and righteous, and he also saw through his plan. This time, he came here to warn him not to think that there are no capable people in the Xiliang army, and to make a deal with him. As long as you are willing to forgive me in the future, then I will not expose your plan, otherwise, everyone will be killed by the death.

For Zhu Jun, the most harmful to the country were Li Jue and Guo Si. Jia Xu did not have much harm in this, and it would be impossible to save his life.

So Zhu Jun immediately said, "I don't worry about this, I know that you, Wuwei Jia family, are all important officials, but they are forced to helplessly, and they are ruthless with the thief. This is actually no different from me. We are all serving the country. In the future, you will not only have no mistakes, but will have achievements. If there is any mistake, I am willing to bear it with all my strength."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhu," Jia Gong was overjoyed and immediately thanked him. Then he said, "The subordinate has a plan that can help Mr. Zhu with one arm. Now that Li Jue killed Fan Chou, Guo Si must be suspicious. Mr. Zhu suggested that Li Jue give it to Guo Si's concubine to calm his heart. Guo Si's wife is jealous and will create conflicts and further increase his differences. In this way, the Western Liang army will be completely divided, and Mr. Zhu will definitely achieve great things. The subordinate officials have other things to deal with, so he will say he will say goodbye."
