The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 253: Fire and Battle
Li Jue stared at Guo Si, and suspicion gradually appeared in his eyes.

And Guo Si also vaguely sensed that something was wrong from Li Jue's words.

What does "Based on Niu Fu's temper, he won't be nice to me?"

Thinking of how Niu Fu once put his sword on his shoulder, Guo Si also began to suspect Li Jue.

After returning to his tent, Guo Si told his wife what had happened today.

When Guo Si's wife heard that her husband had been stabbed by Niu Fu, she burst into tears.

"Husband, we are both sleeping together, how can I not know what you are thinking?"

"What important title of general, what power to establish a government, is this really what you want to pursue?"

"All you want is to live peacefully. Why do you want to wade into this muddy water with Li Jue and risk your life?"

"In my opinion, you are you and he is him, why do you have to get entangled with each other? Even if you lead your troops to surrender to the emperor, what will happen?"

Guo Si's wife's words also made Guo Si suddenly wake up.

Yes!

Why should I get entangled with Li Jue?

Even if they were husband and wife, they would flee separately when disaster struck, let alone Li Jue?

On the one hand, following Li Jue, the future is uncertain.

On the one hand, he could submit to the emperor... Even if the worst happened, at worst his military power would be taken away from him, and he could return to Chang'an or his hometown in Liangzhou and become a rich man.

Moreover.

Guo Si was a nostalgic person after all.

Among all the Xiliang generals, he actually had the poorest background and was just a horse thief.

Fortunately, he was appreciated by Grand Tutor Dong Zhuo, and he had the opportunity to climb up step by step from the bottom relying on his military merits and become one of the pillar generals of the Han Dynasty.

Niu Fu's previous words, "The Grand Tutor's body is still warm, yet you're plotting rebellion," finally made Guo Si's heart tremble.

In this case, it would be better for him to lead his troops to meet with Lu Bu, Niu Fu and others first, and then try to persuade Li Jue to surrender.

"Thank you ma'am, I finally understand my feelings!"

Guo Si immediately mobilized his troops, intending to break away from Li Jue and return to the court.

Li Jue was horrified when he heard the news. He immediately rode his horse to Guo Si and asked, "We are as close as brothers. Why would you betray me at this time?"

Guo Si was in a dilemma, but he still told the truth.

"I don't want to be an enemy of the imperial court! I don't want to be an enemy of my former comrades!"

"Confused!"

Li Jue shouted.

"When did I say I wanted to be an enemy of the imperial court? I just wanted the emperor to protect our wealth and honor!"

Guo Si also shook his head when he heard this: "I don't want any wealth. If Chu Ran wants it, then he can negotiate with the emperor here!"

"Chu Ran also knows that I was born in a poor family. If it weren't for the Grand Tutor's protection, I would have been arrested and hanged by the government. How could I be so powerful? The power I have now is enough for me, Guo Si. Chu Ran, please give me a way out for the sake of our past friendship."

……

Li Jue was extremely anxious at this moment.

He didn't know how things turned out like this!
Let Guo Si go?
That's obviously impossible!

After Guo Si left, Li Jue was left with only his own troops. It was simply wishful thinking for him to rely on these troops to negotiate with the emperor for the conditions he wanted!
Li Jue wanted to gain the greatest benefit for himself, so he had to keep Guo Si and make him stand with him!
"What if I don't allow it?"

There was already a hint of murderous intent in Li Jue's words.

Guo Si immediately became alert and a little surprised: "We are comrades in arms, and you want to kill me?"

"I won't kill you!"

Li Jue shouted to Guo Si and came up with a "compromise" plan:

"If you want to go back to the court, you can!"

"But you must keep the soldiers and let them accept my orders!"

Guo Si also got angry and shouted, "Li Jue! Don't go too far!"

"I'll leave all the soldiers to you? How dare you say such a thing!"

Guo Si understood that if he could bring the soldiers back with him, it would be a great achievement.

But if I go back alone, leaving all the soldiers to Li Jue, it would not be a great achievement, but a big fault!
Seeing that the other party could not reach an agreement, Li Jue waved his hand and ordered his personal soldiers to surround him and draw their swords.

"Do you really want to be my enemy?"

When Guo Si saw this scene, he felt an inexplicable anger in his heart!
"of course not."

At this moment, Li Jue saw that there seemed to be a commotion not far away, and he suddenly felt relieved.

Guo Si also looked over with his eyes bloodshot!

It’s Guo Si’s family!

Li Jue had always been a treacherous person. His direct confrontation with Guo Si just now was just a way to delay time. In fact, he had already sent people to Guo Si's tent to tie up his family members.

"Li Jue! I will kill your ancestors!!!"

Seeing that his relatives were in Li Jue's hands, Guo Si also grabbed his horse spear and wanted to charge directly. However, with his family in Li Jue's hands, Guo Si did not dare to jump on his horse and just stood there gritting his teeth.

"Right, you and I are as close as brothers, why can't we sit down and talk about it?"

When Li Jue saw Guo Si surrender, he breathed a sigh of relief and thought he had the situation under control.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the bound wife of Guo Si suddenly yelled at Li Jue: "Li Jue! I was right about you! It is really a shame for Guo Si to make friends with someone like you!"

"Not only did you corrupt Guo Si's character, but you also instigated Guo Si to betray the Grand Tutor and rebel against the court. You are truly a beast among beasts! Back then, when you were under the Grand Tutor's command, you couldn't even get a hot meal. It was Guo Si who gave you the rations I gave him!"

"You are a beast, worse than a beast, bah! You should have starved to death in the army back then, rather than causing harm to the world now!"

"..."

Mrs. Guo Si also had an old friendship with Li Jue.

She had always looked down on Li Jue, and now when she saw Li Jue tying her up to threaten Guo Si, she started cursing at Li Jue, completely forgetting that she was still under someone else's control.

"Shut up, bitch!"

The soldiers who tied up Mrs. Guo Si were Li Jue's personal soldiers after all, and they would not tolerate a woman like her insulting their commander like this.

He immediately slapped him in the face, leaving a red mark on his face.

"You dare!"

Guo Si roared angrily!
Even he had never beaten his own wife, so how dare this personal soldier do so?

"You dare to hit me?"

Mrs. Guo Si was also a little confused after being hit.

But after he reacted, he immediately pounced on the soldier, tearing and biting him.

Seeing this, the personal soldiers had to draw their swords to defend themselves. However, before Mrs. Guo Si could even see it, she was bumped into the sword.

……

broken!

When Li Jue saw that Mrs. Guo Si had died, his scalp suddenly went numb!
Although the Xiliang military leaders often mocked Guo Si for being a strict family manager, they were also envious of him in their hearts.

Just as Guo Si said, he was born in poverty and rose from humble beginnings, but his wife always stayed by his side, never leaving him and sharing the hardships with him.

The love between the two can truly be described as real gold forged from a raging fire, their love is stronger than gold!

When Guo Si saw his wife being stabbed in the abdomen, he was so angry that he vomited blood.

"Li Jue! How dare you kill my wife!"

Guo Si threw all the overall situations behind his mind at this moment, and immediately led his soldiers to kill Li Jue.

Seeing this, Li Jue knew it was impossible for him to surrender, so he quickly ordered his soldiers to charge forward and fight.

The thirty thousand most elite Xiliang soldiers finally turned against each other!
The dispute in the camps of Li Jue and Guo Si immediately awakened the two armies on both sides of Chenguan.

On the Hedong side, there are Lu Bu and Niu Fu.

When the two of them heard the noise coming from the camp, they immediately knew that something big had happened!

Without further ado, the two men immediately led their troops to Chenguan, hoping to take control of the current situation.

On the Henei side were two generals sent by Yuan Shao, Zhang He and Gao Lan, who were also two of the Four Pillars of Hebei.

This was different from Yuan Shao's unstoppable momentum in Taiyuan.

Zhang He and Gao Lan have not taken any action since they led their troops to this place.

When someone asked about this, Zhang He also said frankly: "The terrain of the Chen Pass is narrow in the middle and wide at both ends. Whoever initiates the attack will suffer losses."

"Instead of forcing an attack without caring about the lives of our soldiers, it would be better to wait until something unexpected happens inside before taking action."

Some people in the pseudo-court of Hebei believed that Zhang He was deliberately slacking off. They even reported Zhang He to Yuan Shao several times, saying that Zhang He was nurturing the enemy for his own benefit, and requested Yuan Shao to deprive Zhang He of his military power, but Zhang He remained unmoved.

It was not until today, when he saw that there seemed to be a dispute between Li Jue and Guo Si in their camp, that Zhang He said to Gao Lan with a sense of relief: "This is the opportunity I have been waiting for!"

After saying this, Zhang He ordered the entire army to march towards Chen Pass.

Zhang He led the troops and truly achieved the state of being as still as a mountain and as aggressive as fire.

The army, which had been silent all this time, suddenly rushed to Chenguan at the fastest speed and attacked the camps of Li Jue and Guo Si.

The soldiers in Li Jue and Guo Si's camps were extremely frightened by the sudden outbreak of civil strife.

In addition, Zhang He and Gao Lan suddenly led their troops to attack, which undoubtedly made them completely lose their fighting spirit and flee like crazy.

On the other side, Lu Bu and Niu Fu saw that Zhang He had arrived ahead of time and caused Li Jue and Guo Si's soldiers to flee backwards, so they could only stop.

At this time, if they continued to lead their troops forward, even the armies of Lu Bu and Niu Fu might be overwhelmed by the fleeing soldiers, resulting in a horrific defeat.

Lu Bu ordered Niu Fu to gather the fleeing soldiers in the front, while he personally led hundreds of cavalry to protect the flanks, keeping a close eye on the armies of Zhang He and Gao Lan to prevent them from charging over.

After Zhang He seized the Chenguan Pass, he wanted to take advantage of the situation to expand his victory.

But when he saw Lu Bu's well-organized flags and thought of Lu Bu's bravery, he became a little scared, so he stopped chasing and started to sweep the camps of Li Jue and Guo Si, recruiting their soldiers and food supplies.

When Niu Fu saw that Zhang He was no longer chasing him, he found a captain who had fled back and asked him a lot of questions: "What happened? Why did Li Jue and Guo Si fight? And..."

"Where are they now?"
