Chapter 2789: Hate deepens, Guo Jia’s plan
Chapter 2786: The hatred deepens, Guo Jia’s plan
After the Battle of Dunqiu, Lan Yu led his army to Puyang. After all, he fought with Jia Fu''s army and the Flying Tiger Army one after another. The Wei Ming coalition was also very tired and needed to rest to restore his combat power.
But after arriving in Puyang, Lan Yu politely declined Le Cheng''s request to enter the city. There are three reasons:
First, after encountering Jia Fu''s fierce attack, Puyang''s defense has not yet recovered.
Second, Lan Yu is not very familiar with these situations, how much food and grass is there in Puyang City and whether the materials are sufficient to defend the city.
Third, and the most important point, Jia Fu was seriously injured, and the person who could replace Jia Futong and lead the Qin army in Dunqiu must be Li Cunxiao.
In the battle of Dunqiu, Li Cunxiao easily defeated Niu Kui, the most powerful general in the Central Plains, and blocked the fierce attack of the 50,000 Wei Ming coalition with the three thousand flying tiger army. The power of his most powerful general in the world was fully demonstrated, and the Qin army led by him was obviously stronger than Jia Fu.
Lan Yu was worried that Li Cunxiao would start war immediately after taking over the military power. If the Ming army was in Puyang City, it would be blocked by Li Cunxiao in the city, thus losing its initiative and mobility, and could only huddle in the city and be beaten passively.
Lan Yuning took some risks and was unwilling to fall into a passive position, so she refused Le Cheng''s request to enter the city to recuperate, and only asked Le Cheng to provide food and weapons to the Ming army.
At this time, in the Ming army camp, Lan Yu looked at the map of Dongjun and frowned involuntarily.
"Bai Qi and Huang Feihu both headed straight for the white horse, but Li Cunxiao did not respond. What was he waiting for?"
Lan Yu couldn''t help but murmured to himself, and also found that Li Cunxiao was different from the information.
In the information of the Wei, Song and Ming dynasties, Li Cunxiao''s description is undoubtedly impulsive and reckless. After all, if he is not reckless, how could he do such a thing as a matter of breaking through the Grandmaster and burning his internal strength to fight against Li Tang and his country alone?
But after Lan Yu fought with Li Cunxiao, she found that Li Cunxiao was not as stated in the information.
In the battle between Dunqiu, Li Cunxiao appeared at the most critical moment and left at the most suitable time.
Li Cunxiao chose the opportunity to retreat, just as the Flying Tiger Army rushed to the scene. After expending 60% to 70% of the physical strength, he still had enough energy to break through.
If this opportunity is missed and the Flying Tiger Army consumes severe physical strength, its combat power will definitely drop significantly. Even if it can eventually break through the siege, it will definitely suffer heavy losses.
It is precisely because of this that Lan Yu feels that Li Cunxiao is not reckless. After all, he has a good grasp of the fighter. He is neither greedy for me nor fond of fighting. He doesn''t look like a reckless man.
Although Li Cunxiao doesn’t have many troops now, coupled with the powerful Flying Tiger Army, Lan Yu is still very afraid, so he has been paying attention to the movements of the Dunqiu Qin Army.
"Grandmaster, it''s not good, General Niu Ruyi, he..."
After hearing the guards'' words, Lan Yu suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart and asked quickly, "How is General Niu Ruyi?"
"General Niu Ruyi''s injury relapsed."
"What?"
Lan Yu suddenly exclaimed and rushed to the ward without saying a word. After all, Niu Ruyi is also the top five general under his command. His death will obviously have an impact on the Ming army''s combat power.
When Lan Yu arrived, Niu Ruyi''s ward was already full of people, and the one around the bed was his brother Niu Kui''s family.
Seeing Lan Yu coming, everyone present tacitly gave up a way, which made Lan Yu meet Niu Ruyi who had lost her breath.
Lan Yu''s face showed a hint of sadness, but she was more puzzled, so she asked, "Brother Niu, what''s going on? Although General Ruyi''s injury was severe, it was not fatal. How could he suddenly relapse and die?"
Lan Yu subconsciously felt that Niu Ruyi''s death had hidden dangers. After all, how could a grand master suddenly die if his injuries were not fatal? There is obviously a problem here.
Niu Mowang was still immersed in the sadness of his brother''s death, so he didn''t hear Lan Yu''s words. Niu Hong on the side replied: "Uncle II and I both used a drug that quickly recovered from our injuries but avoided alcohol. However, Uncle II was greedy for drinking during his recovery period. As a result, the wound burst out due to alcohol, and he died suddenly after the injury was added to the injury."
Hearing this, Lan Yu was completely speechless.
If it were other generals, he would not believe that the other party would dare to drink during the period of drinking, and he would even drink himself to death.
But if it were Niu Ruyi, Lan Yu would be a little confused. After all, Niu Ruyi was extremely addicted to alcohol and was a complete drunkard.
For an alcoholic like Niu Ruyi, it is extremely tormenting to not get drunk for more than ten days. After he became addicted to alcohol, he might just want to satisfy his craving, but he didn''t expect that he accidentally drank too much and then died suddenly after the wound collapsed.
Lan Yu felt that this might be the truth, but she still asked Niu Ruyi''s attending physician and the conclusion he came to was the same as he thought, and the doctor who examined the autopsy did not find any toxins from the body.
"Wait, it''s not right. Where did the wine come from in the military camp?"
Lan Yu suddenly frowned and pointed out the key point of the problem, that is, there is no wine in the army, where did Niu Ruyi get the wine?
The military rules of the Ming Dynasty''s army clearly stipulate that drinking alcohol is strictly prohibited during the war and storing alcohol is prohibited. If it violates the law, military law will be imposed.
As a senior general, Niu Ruyi naturally did not know that he would break the law. Every time he became addicted to alcohol and wanted to drink, he would leave the camp to buy it himself, and would not bring the wine back to the military camp after drinking.
Niu Ruyi is still recovering from his injuries. Even if he wants to drink, he can''t buy wine by himself. Someone must have bought it for him. So who is the person who bought wine for him?
After listening to Lan Yu''s analysis, everyone present changed their faces. After all, if someone really bought the wine for Niu Ruyi, then this person knew that the law had violated the law and indirectly caused Niu Ruyi''s death.
Niu Mowang''s face also became extremely ugly. He clearly told his younger brother not to drink alcohol during his recovery period, and also ordered his younger brother''s personal guards to never buy alcohol for his younger brother. However, he did not expect that someone would dare to disobey his orders, which was simply seeking death.
Niu Mowang immediately ordered a thorough investigation of Niu Ruyi''s personal guards to see who knew the wine he bought for his younger brother after breaking the law. As a result, less than an hour later, he found out who was the one who bought the wine. He was indeed one of Niu Ruyi''s personal guards, but the personal guard seemed to know that he would definitely die, so he hanged himself in fear of his crime and left a letter to explain the cause and effect.
In the guard''s suicide note, he said that he didn''t want to buy wine for Niu Ruyi, but Niu Ruyi was addicted to alcohol and insisted on forcing him to buy it, otherwise he would have to look good. He dared not go against Niu Ruyi''s order and was forced to buy wine. However, he did not expect Niu Ruyi to drink himself to death. He also knew that he was very guilty, so he took the initiative to die, just asking the general to let his family go.
After reading the letter, Lan Yu sighed and handed the letter to Niu Mowang, and Niu Mowang''s face turned ashen after reading it, it was obvious that it was difficult to accept such a result.
If he really follows what the guard said, it wouldn''t be blamed for him to secretly buy wine. After all, Niu Ruyi forced him to buy it, but he drank himself to death, which was a joke.
Not only Niu Mowang could not accept it, but the young Niu Hong couldn''t accept it, and shouted with anger:
"No, it was not the wine that killed my second uncle, but Li Cunxiao. If Li Cunxiao hadn''t injured his second uncle, how could he die because of drinking? Li Cunxiao was the real murderer who killed his second uncle."
Hearing his son say this, Niu Mowang was stunned, while Ming Tiefan on the side scolded: "Stop talking, with Li Cunxiao''s strength, it''s easy to kill you and your second uncle.
Li Cunxiao has already shown mercy. Now your second uncle died of greed, but you blamed all your mistakes on Li Cunxiao. What is the reason? Do you think the whole world owe you the Niu family? ”
Niu Mowang had a hatred for Li Cunxiao because of his brother''s death. After all, what his son said was right. If Li Cunxiao hadn''t seriously injured Niu Ruyi, he wouldn''t have drunk himself to death because of drinking.
But when he heard his wife say this, Niu Mowang couldn''t help but realize it.
Yes, Li Cunxiao has shown mercy, otherwise his son and brother would die. Now his brother''s death has nothing to do with Li Cunxiao. What qualifications does he have to blame Li Cunxiao?
Niu Mowang naturally understands such a simple truth, but Niu Hong doesn’t.
Within the same day, I first learned that my mother was assassinated by Hei Bingtai, and the second uncle died of relapse of his injury due to drinking. This made Niu Hong completely lose his anger and just wanted to vent, so he couldn''t control that much. Besides, he himself was not of the rational personality.
So, after hearing his mother''s scolding, Niu Hong was extremely angry and roared at his biological mother: "Mom, why do you want to talk to your enemy?
Even if the second uncle was wrong to drink without permission, it was Li Cunxiao who injured his second uncle first. Now the two sides have formed a great hatred. Instead of standing on the side of the child, you are talking to your enemies. What is the reason? ”
Ming Tiefan felt very wronged when he saw his son who had always been well-behaved, and now he dared to yell at her in public. She felt very wronged and sad. She just didn''t want the hatred between the two sides to intensify, so she just talked about the matter, but she didn''t expect that her son would be unreasonable at all.
"That''s right, but you have to be reasonable. Hong''er, don''t be blinded by anger, but don''t be separated..."
Before Ming Tiefan could finish his words, he was interrupted by Niu Hong.
"Home is a place that talks about feelings, not a place that talks about reason."
"You, you..."
Ming Tiefan was speechless by his son. He pointed at his son angrily for a long time, but couldn''t say a word. Finally, he said angrily: "You should do it yourself, I won''t care about you anymore." Then he left angrily.
The quarrel between Niu Hong and Ming Tiefan and his son. As a father, Niu Mowang just looked at it but didn''t say a word. His heart was also entangled by the quarrel between them.
On the other hand, Ye Dingzhi was eating melons throughout the whole process, but he didn''t say a word either. It was not that he didn''t want to say it, but that he knew that Niu Hong had lost his mind and would not listen to anything he said now.
Ye Dingzhi''s determination of Niu Ruyi''s death is definitely not as simple as it seems. After all, Niu Ruyi died just after they arrived in Puyang, which is a coincidence.
In addition, the evidence link of Niu Ruyi''s death was too complete, and he died in the Ming army camp under the protection of thousands of troops. Even Ye Dingzhi could not find any fault, but this was exactly the biggest problem.
Ye Dingzhi now believes what Li Xiaoyao said. Some people in the Three Kingdoms Alliance want to provoke discord and thus lead the Demon Sect to fight against Daqin. The previous goal was himself, but now it is Niu Mowang and Niu Hong and his son.
Ye Dingzhi believed that if he told his uncle about his suspicion, it would definitely arouse the alertness of Niu Mowang, the old world, but he was powerless to do anything about Niu Hong, his cousin.
In Ye Dingzhi''s observation, Niu Hong only showed resentment and not much sadness towards the death of Niu Ruyi, the second uncle. He did not even shed a single tear.
Niu Hong was already blinded by anger, full of desire to take revenge and vent his anger, and he would not consider the consequences at all. His various reactions could no longer be described as unreasonable. He was simply paranoid enough to be stubborn.
Niu Hong believed that it was Niu Ruyi who killed Li Cunxiao, and also Ming Tiefan assassinated by the Black Ice Platform of Daqin. He didn''t even listen to his own father and mother''s words. How could he listen to his cousin? So Ye Dingzhi rationally chose to shut up because he knew that nothing was useful.
Ye Dingzhi followed Ming Tiefan, but before leaving, he talked to Niu Mowang alone and looked at Niu Hong deeply.
Ye Dingzhi hopes that Niu Hong can be more rational and that the trouble is so unsuccessful, but don’t blame yourself for destroying your relatives for justice.
"Go back to Mount Tai." Ye Dingzhi said coldly.

Yingchuan, Yangdi.
"Sir, the news was sent back from the Hei Bingtai in Dongjun that Ye Dingzhi and Ming Tiefan have returned to Mount Tai, but they were unable to take Niu Hong away." Duanlanghui reported.
"well…"
Guo Jia couldn''t help but sigh and said with a headache: "Cao Wei has indeed set his sights on Niu Hong and wants to use this stupid boy to provoke and disagree, so as to pull the demons into the water."
"Sir, since that''s the case, then let''s just tell the Demon Sect directly. Why send someone to ambush Ye Dingzhi while sending someone to protect Ye Dingzhi? Is it so troublesome?"
?Princess Iron Fan’s surname has been changed. It was previously named Luo. Later, the author checked and found that there is actually a surname Ming in China, so he changed his surname Ming.
