Back to the Three Kingdoms

Li Su hurriedly walked into the big account, saw Guo Bang, folded his fists and bowed: "General!"

Seeing Li Su's arrival, Guo Bun asked, "Are the grain and grass all here?"

Li Su said: "General, the general's grain and grass have been transported halfway, but in the middle, he suddenly received an urgent order from the Taishi to make the general stand by."

Guo Bang was very puzzled, "What is the truth? Now that the war is tight, how can we fight the battle if there is a shortage of food and grass? Why did the Taishi give such an order?"

Li Su shook his head and said, "I don't know what the specific reason is. But, but..." Li Su looked like he wanted to say nothing.

Seeing his hesitation, Guo Ben was very anxious, and asked angrily: "But what?"

Li Su hesitated and said authentically: "The final admiral has heard of some things, and I don't know if it should be said or not?" Guo Bang yelled impatiently, "Say it!"

Li Su frowned and said: "The final general heard some rumors that the Taishi was very annoyed by the general's delay in breaking through the West County. He had been furious many times!..." Guo Ben was taken aback and quickly explained: " It's not that I deliberately neglected the war. It is because the enemy is too stubborn. Although our army has suffered a lot of losses in the day-to-day onslaught, it has never been able to break through the West County!" Then impatiently: "I have reported this matter to the Taishi. Trust me?"

Li Su said: "The Taishi must not really believe it. After all, the general has 300,000 elites, and his opponent is only more than 100,000 soldiers. The generals are several times stronger than the enemy. In the minds of the Taishi, this is the trend of Mount Tai overwhelming, and the enemy should have been eliminated long ago. The army has played a triumphant song! Moreover, some people around the Taishi are jealous of the general who have repeatedly offered slanders, and I am afraid that the Taishi has the meaning of suspecting that the general will support himself!"

Guo Biao was taken aback, Huo Chengqi, anxiously said: "Taishi is so kind to me, how dare I have such thoughts!"

Li Su sighed and said: "The Taishi is no longer the old Taishi. Since becoming Taishi, the Taishi seems to have lost the ambitions of the year, and people have become suspicious!" Guo Ben couldn't help feeling the same, wrinkled. Frowned. He immediately pleaded with Li Su: "General Li, please be sure to send me the grain, otherwise our army can only last for half a month at most. If I work for many days, I will lose everything! As long as I break through the West County as soon as possible, I believe it too. The teacher will be able to eliminate the misunderstanding of me! General Li’s kindness, I, Guo, will never forget!"

Li Su showed hesitation on his face, and nodded immediately; "The general said so, what else can the end general say? The end will bring the grain and grass immediately after he returns." Guo Bang was very grateful and bowed his fist: " Thank you General Li!" Li Su hurriedly responded, "Don't dare!" Then he said: "It shouldn't be too late, the last will leave!" Guo Bang clasped his fist and said, "I am waiting for the good news from General Li!" Li Su nodded. Went in a hurry.

Li Su left the big account, turned on his horse and galloped away. Soon after leaving the camp, someone from behind came up and shouted: "General Li walk slowly! General Li walk slowly!" Li Su stopped the horse, looked back, and saw Zhang Xiuzheng chasing the horse.

Zhang Xiu rode his horse to Li Su, strangled the horse, smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Why does General Li come and go in a hurry?"

Li Su clasped his fists and said, "It turned out to be General Zhang Xiu." Then he smiled bitterly: "I don't want to work so hard, but I don't want to be overwhelmed by things!"

Zhang Xiu asked, "I wonder when the grain and grass escorted by General Li will arrive?"

Li Su hesitated for a moment, clasped his fist and said, "General Zhang and I have always been in harmony. There is one thing that cannot be kept from General Zhang. General Zhang, you may not know it." He lowered his voice and said: "The Taishi is very suspicious of General Guo Bang now, so I temporarily suppressed the grain and grass to see General Guo Bang's reaction." Zhang Xiu was taken aback, "What happened?" Li Su said. He nodded and said: "General Guo Bang has 300,000 elites to attack West County. For such a long time, it costs a lot of money and food, but it has been unable to play triumph. The Taishi doubts whether General Guo Bang has an attempt to support himself. General Zhang, Only when I have a harmonious relationship with you tell you this, you have to do it yourself!"

Zhang Xiu clasped his fist gratefully and said, "Thank you, General Li for telling me!"

Li Su clasped his fist and said: "I shouldn't stay here for a long time and say goodbye." Zhang Xiu clasped his fist and said, "General Li is easy to go!" Li Sule turned his head and galloped away.

Zhang Xiu thought for a while, turned his horse's head and hurried back to Zhang Ji's big tent, strangled the horse, turned over, jumped down and ran in.

Zhang Ji was about to rest. Seeing his nephew Zhang Xiu rushing in, he asked inexplicably, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhang Xiu looked inside the big tent and saw that Zhang Ji was the only one. He hurriedly said, "Uncle, something big happened!" Then he said what Li Su had said to him. Zhang Ji was shocked, "Is there such a thing?!" Then he asked suspiciously: "Is what Li Su said is true?" Zhang Xiu said, "He is the grain officer appointed by the Taishi, and Li Su has always been here. Befriend me, what you say should be true!"

Zhang Ji got off the marching couch, frowning and pacing back and forth. Stopped and asked Zhang Xiu: "Did you say that Guo Bang already knew at this time?"

Zhang Xiu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be possible yet."

Zhang Ji frowned and asked, "Li Su will tell you about this, won't he tell Guo Bang about this matter?"

Zhang Xiu said: "How is this the same? Li Su's trip should be to appease Guo Bang. If I had a different relationship with him, how could he tell me about it?"

Zhang Ji paced back and forth, frowning: "Such a thing would happen! What should I do?"

Li Su hurried back to his grain transport team, and immediately led the grain transport team into Xiliang, where Xiliang ruled Wuwei. Li Su immediately found the general who was in charge of guarding Xiliang, Fan Si, and said to him anxiously: "General Fan, something has happened! I received a secret report saying that Guo Ben has the heart to support the soldiers!" Fan Si suddenly heard this. Then, she was shocked and exclaimed: "Is there such a thing?!"

Li Su said, "I was also taken aback when I received this news. Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, we can only take the authority and treat it as true, so I shipped all the food and grass to Xiliang!"

Fan Si said with anxiety: "If Guo Pan has the heart to support his own soldiers, I am afraid he will be connected with Ma Teng Han Sui. If his two forces come to attack, Xiliang will not be in danger!!"

Li Su also looked very worried, saying: "Now that things are urgent, please hold the army to Xiliang. I will immediately return to Chang'an to ask for help from the Taishi. As long as the reinforcements can arrive in time, I believe Guo Ben's plot will never succeed!" Fan Si felt that there is only this way now, and hurriedly said: "This matter is very urgent, General Li will rush back immediately!" Li Su nodded and clasped his fists: "Then I will rush back. I brought it. Thousands of soldiers and horses will be handed over to the general." Fan Silk clasped his fists gratefully; "Thank you General Li!" Li Su hurried away.

In other words, Guo Ben hoped that Li Su would be able to transport the grain and grass so that he could break through the West County so that he could explain it to the Taishi. However, a few days later, news came that Li Su had transported all the food into Xiliang, which surprised Guo Bang. Guo Bang hurriedly summoned his cronies for discussion. All the cronies were shocked when they heard that the Taishi actually had suspicions about Guo Bang, and that the grain that should have been transported entered Xiliang. General Hu Zhen frowned and said: "Our army has not enough food and grass. Now that there is no food and grass, this battle will not go on at all! It is better to retreat and return to Xiliang for the time being!" The generals agreed. Guo Bang felt that the matter had come to this point and couldn't attack anymore, so he scolded angrily: "Li Su, this bastard! The one set in person and the other set behind! I must kill him!"

Soon after, various rumors spread in the army, and the army was in turmoil. With no choice, Guo Bang led his army to withdraw from the encirclement of Xijun and return to Xiliang.

The army came to Xiliang City and yelled to open the door. Fan Silk Top Helmet and Chijia mounted the city wall with a big knife in his hand, and shouted at Guo Bin below the city: "Excuse me, the general, before the command of the Taishi, the general will not dare to open the door!"

Guo Bang was furious and shouted: "I am the commander of Xiliang appointed by the Taishi, how dare you be so rude!"

Fan Si said: "Excuse me, the general. There have been some rumors recently. The final general is terrified and really dare not open the gate of the city without authorization. Li Su has rushed back to Chang'an to ask the Taishi for instructions. I believe there will be a reply in the near future. Please general. Don't worry about it."

Guo Bin was angry, and the generals under his opponent shouted: "Kill me in!" The generals were taken aback. Hu Zhen hurriedly persuaded him: "If the city is attacked, wouldn't it be the case that the general is conspiring against it! The general is cut! Don't be impulsive!" The generals also persuaded. Guo Bang calmed down a bit, glanced at the city wall, hesitated for a moment, and ordered: "Encamp the army outside the city!" The generals led the order.

Li Su rushed back to Chang'an day and night, and immediately reported to Dong Zhuo about Guo Bian's rebellion. This surprised Dong Zhuo and others, but they were mixed about this matter and did not fully believe it. However, a few days later, another urgent report came from Xiliang, saying that Guo Bang had privately led a large army to withdraw the encirclement of Xijun and returned to the city of Xiliang, and confronted the fan silk guarding Xiliang! As soon as the news came, it undoubtedly confirmed the fact that Guo Bin supported the soldiers to rebel. Dong Zhuo really panicked, and hurriedly called all the civil servants to discuss the matter.

Lu Bu went out and held his fist and said, "Foster father, please let me be a soldier to conquer, and I will definitely dedicate Guo Bang's head to his foster father!"

Li Ru hurriedly said: "It must be!" Then he said to Dong Zhuo: "I think there is a lot of misunderstanding about this matter. If I send troops rashly, I am afraid that things will be out of hand! The subordinates thought that the Taishi should go to Xiliang to recruit and care. Guo Bang et al. I believe that most soldiers in the Xiliang army are loyal to the Taishi, and even if Guo Bang really has a bad attempt, with the prestige of the Taishi, most Xiliang soldiers will definitely be able to turn away from the dark. If Shi Guo Bang and others are still obsessed with understanding, it will be easy to deal with." Dong Zhuo didn't want to leave the comfortable nest of eyebrows, but he felt that what Li Ru said was reasonable and couldn't help nodding.
