Chapter One Hundred and Sixteen
Zhangye Duke Mansion.
Juqu Wugu got the exact news from Xu You in the day. The memorials of Qin and Liang prefectures have been submitted to Jinling. After approval by Taiwan Province, he will be appointed as the newly planned governor of Liangzhou, and allow him to select 10,000 sharp soldiers from Lu Shuihu's 20,000 cavalry to be included in the sequence of Liangzhou town soldiers, which means that half of these temporary recruited private soldiers will be transferred to regular positions. The court allocates military salaries to support them, how much financial and material resources can it save?
This is Xu You's trust and reuse. Ju Quwugu felt in his heart. People like him who are repetitive will either abandon them as if they are worn out and will kill them forever to avoid future troubles, or they will limit them everywhere to prevent accidents. However, Xu You's ability to measure his talents and does not despise him for any contempt or guard against the past. This kind of kindness, even though he is cold-hearted, he feels a little moved.
Of course, Juqu Wugu knew that Xu You was not an innocent child, but had absolute confidence. He believed that he could control Lu Shuihu's life and death without fear of being backfired.
In fact, no one wants to be the slave of the three surnames who are despised by the world, but Lu Shuihu is too weak after all. If you want to survive in the cracks, you must avoid harm and seek profit and judge the situation so that you can barely maintain the bloodline of your ancestors.
Look at the dozens of other Hu people who died in Guanzhong. Who else knows that they once existed?
Now that he is backed by the towering tree of Chu, he is appreciated by General Xu You. Hu occupied Liangzhou and became a prince. Lu Shuihu's existence is guaranteed. Whoever is willing to go back and forth? Anyway, Juquwugu is respectful and afraid of Xu You, and he made up his mind that as long as the general gains power for a day, Lu Shuihu will not rebel!
After returning to the mansion, Juqu Wugu was very excited. He held a banquet, summoned the singer and drank with his subordinates for drinking and having fun. He tossed until the sky was slightly dawn, and then he returned to the bedroom to rest. Just as he closed his eyes, he suddenly heard someone outside the window scolding: "Who is sneaky, come out!"
Then there were a few muffled groans. Juqu Wugu turned over and sat up, leaning against the head of the bed, not panic, because he knew that Yu Shegui, the young master who was secretly offering in the mansion, would never leave Zuo Jin. With his cultivation level, the assassin was not worth mentioning at all.
The door creaked open, and Yu Shegui stood at the door, wearing a coarse linen and a clear appearance. He was less than forty years old, but his eyes seemed to feel the oppression of the huge waves. He threw the man in black in and said lightly: "This person said there was something important to tell Lord Huang that I have sealed his meridians. Lord Huang can ask with confidence, it's okay."
Juqu Wugu knew that Yu Shegui had a strange temper. He had been by his side for nearly five years and had almost never had contact with anyone. He usually only practiced martial arts and meditated. If it were not necessary, he would not even say more. Not only did he not show anger on his face because of his rudeness, he smiled kindly: "Thank you for your hard work, sir!"
Yu Shegui turned around and left.
Several guards heard the movement and hurried over, drew their swords and put them on the neck of the man in black. Juquwugu put on his clothes and went to the assassin and said, "Tell me, what's wrong with me when I entered the mansion late at night?"
"Zhangye Duke, I am from Mingdiesi. I have followed the military advisor and general before and have met him several times."
Juqu Wugu looked closely and knew that he knew that he was Wen Ziyou's confidant. He hurriedly ordered the guard to help him up and sit in the chair, but the meridians sealed by Yu Shegui could not be untied. However, now is not the time to worry about this, and asked, "Does the military advisor have something to explain?"
"When the military advisor and general left Chang'an, he told us to pay more attention to the Duke's Mansion. If there is a big disaster, he will help him regardless of everything..."
"There is a big disaster?"
Juqu Wugu was suddenly shocked, and he didn't care about thanking Wen Ziyou for his affection and righteousness, and said, "What happened?"
"The major general believed in the slander of Hu and Peng, rebelled in Gaoping County, swore to establish himself, issued a proclamation to fight against Xu, and sent envoys to send an edict to Chang'an. Now the entire Anle County is in chaos, some are waiting and watching, some followers, and some are opposed..."
"Go back, are you back?"
After asking three times in a row, he confirmed that he had heard it correctly. Juquwu was so angry that his hands and feet trembled. He paced back and forth in the room, scolding Juqugangui as a stupid pig, but no matter how much he scolded him, he was his only son, and his blood was connected and he could not escape.
what to do?
Bound your hands and ask the general to apologize?
Or should I take the opportunity to escape from Chang'an and enter Lu Shuihu's station outside the north gate, and then find good ideas?
"Mingdie Division was only half a step earlier than the Secretariat, so I quickly came to inform Zhangye Duke, but I only got the opportunity for a moment. Zhangye Duke still made a decision early. If it was too late, there might be an unexpected disaster..."
Juqu Wugu gritted his teeth. His wealth and life could not be hoped for Xu You's compassion. He had to find a way to return to the garrison first. With 20,000 cavalry in his hands, he had confidence in his heart, and then quickly find out the truth about the Gaoping Incident. If Juqu returns to the real rebellion, everything will be over. He can only lead his troops back to Gaoping, rely on Xiaoguan to defend Anding County, and then negotiate conditions with Xu You. If there is no way to survive, at most he will go north to surrender to Wei State. If he is not good enough, he can allocate a county to save Lu Shui and Hu.
I had decided not to be a villain again before, but I was thrown away in a flash. How could a real man follow the views of a corrupt scholar?
Benevolence, righteousness and morality?
In troubled times, living is the greatest benevolence, righteousness and morality!
"Let's go! Just now the curfew has just passed and the city gates are wide open, and you're just going to get out of the city!"
Juqu Wugu made a quick decision and took Yu Shegui and more than a hundred guards out of the city. In order to avoid arousing Xu You's suspicion, all his belongings and hundreds of concubines were kept in the dark and left in the mansion and became a victim of abandonment.
Shortly after leaving, Xu You received a tip from the Secretariat about the Gaoping Incident. He was worried that Juquwugu would be frightened and suspicious after hearing the news. He was impulsive and made an irreparable mistake. He hurriedly ordered Tan Zhuo to go to the Duke's Mansion to comfort him. He did not expect that the house would be empty, so he went to Lu Shuihu's camp early in the morning.
"General, should you prepare for Cuiyu Army and Youdu Army to be dispatched?" Tan Zhuo said with a little worry.
Cuiyu Army is stationed on the right wing of Lushuihu. Youdu Army can block the Weishui and Jingshui rivers and block the road to the north of Lushuihu. This is to prevent problems before they happen. But once the two armies move, Juquwu Gu will have to rebel, and the gain will not be worth the loss!
Xu You didn't expect that Juqu Gan would rebel, and he didn't expect that Juqu Wugu would get news earlier than the Secret Mansion. He keenly realized that there was a conspiracy here. Since it was a conspiracy, he could not act according to the other party's script.
"There is no need to make a big fight. Juqu Wugu should not have any intention of rebelling... I will go to the camp alone to meet him and talk to him!"
"General, think carefully!"
"No!"
From Tan Zhuo down, a large number of knelt down in the hall. Lu Bo's mind was full of energy, and he pulled the guards over and whispered: "Go and invite He Jiji to drink quickly. The Zuo Governor and the governor Qi come!"
The guards took the order and Lu Bozhi knelt down and advised: "The son of a thousand gold medal cannot sit in the hall. The general is in charge of the general. Not only do he have the lives of hundreds of thousands of divisions, but also the hopes of the court and the people. How can he take risks alone?"
Yu Teng also said: "Lu Shuihu is capricious, and it is too dangerous for the general to go alone. I hope that on behalf of the general, I will persuade Zhangye Gong to stop his horse. If it fails, I will come and see you!"
Xu You was determined and said, "The reason why Juqu Wugu did not lead his troops back to Anding County immediately was waiting for me to give him a satisfactory reply. I have known all my loyalty, but I have to do this by myself..."
Everyone begged hard, and Yu Teng even went up to hug Xu You's legs and refused to let go. Xu You couldn't help laughing and crying: "After all, you are a famous family, how can you behave like this?"
Yu Teng said angrily: "The general is stubborn and self-righteous. The Guanzhong plan is about to be destroyed, so what kind of morality is needed?"
Xu You was speechless for a moment.
While the trouble was happening, He Ru, Zuo Qi and others hurried in and joined the army of persuasion. Looking at the crowd of people kneeling down in the hall, Xu You knew that he could no longer be as willful as he went to the meeting alone to persuade Bu Tian to surrender, so he had to settle for the second best and let Yu Teng, as the plenipotentiary representative, go to Lushuihu Camp to meet Juqu Wugu.
Lu Shuihu's garrison was full of the unique style of Xiliang Hu, which was very different from the Han people. After entering the Central Army's tent, Yu Teng was surrounded by iron armor, swords and guns around him, and his face remained unchanged, sighing: "Zhangye Duke, you have made a big mistake!"
When Juqu Wugu saw Yu Teng, he was a little impressed. He heard that this person had entered Cangyuan alone and fought with Wei general Mu Fan without falling behind. He was a little brave. He began to cry bitterly regardless of his face, angrily accusing Juqu Qiangui of being unfaithful and unfilial, and expressed his willingness to lead troops to quell the rebellion, and took his son's head with his own hands to apologize to Xu You.
Yu Teng reposted Xu You's words, and there were many doubts about Juquqiangui's rebellion, but he believed that this matter had nothing to do with Juquwugu, so he asked him to write a letter from his family and persuade Juquqiangui to surrender, and then sent a department to Anding to find out the whole story and then deal with it as appropriate. As for Juquwugu, if he was worried, he could temporarily stay in the Lushui Hu Camp and wait until the truth was revealed before returning to the city.
Xu You's conditions were so kind that Juqu Wugu was not a real fool. It could be heard that Xu You really didn't want to break up with Lu Shuihu, so he immediately went down and wrote a letter with only three sentences: Your father is not dead yet, the bastard surrendered quickly, tied his hands and waited for Chang'an to send someone to investigate.
Yu Teng took the letter and completed the task successfully. Juqu Wugu personally sent it outside the camp gate and said, "I'm sorry to Cao Duo's words, and I have no intention of rebelling under the rituals. I can only respect and serve the general."
Yu Teng comforted a few more words, rode back to the city, reported the meeting, and told his own opinions. Juquwugu did not seem to have planned, and he was not strong in his intentions, so he should be able to resolve the incident peacefully. Everyone was at a great peace. At this time, the proclamation for Xu from Anding County also arrived in Chang'an. Xu You didn't even bother to read it. He directly ordered the foreign soldiers and Cao to be the envoy, and took Juquwugu's handwritten letter and took more than a hundred elite troops to Anding to surrender Juquqian.
Suddenly, a guard rushed into the hall and said, "Report to the general that 20,000 cavalrymen from Lu Shuihu scattered out, as if they were breaking through the siege and heading north!"
Everyone in the hall was shocked!
