The two had their own thoughts, until Sima Yi was brought to Xu Shu, and Xu Shu ordered someone to take off his hood, but he was not untied. looked at him condescendingly: "I really didn't expect that you are a mere scribe with such a huge energy, which can not only provoke the Shanyue barbarians, but also incite the local heroes in Jingzhou, how could Cao Thief be easily dispatched with a talent like you?"

"The advisers under the Ming public account are like clouds, and there are many capable people. What is a nobody like me? I had to be sent to a remote place like Jingzhou to do such an inconspicuous little thing!" Sima Yi didn't know whether to really praise Cao Cao or really sigh himself. In short, these words are extremely sincere, not like lies.

Xu Shu chuckled: "Yes, you deserve to be happy, aren't you afraid that I will punish you Ming Zheng? You know, you have committed a heinous crime in Wuxi, even if Ling Chi is executed, it is not excessive." ”

"I'm all standing here, what else is there to be afraid of. If you want to kill me, how can I be here?" Sima Yi said unhurriedly: "As the Xixi of Princess Yiyang, the first person under the Jingzhou pastoral account, you caught the key offender without interrogation, but you are here to talk nonsense? I am now a fish on the chopping board, is there a difference between recognizing and not recognizing?"

"It seems that I am right to bring you here, and based on what you have said and your attitude, if I put you in prison, I am afraid that the whole prison will riot. You are indeed an extremely dangerous character!" Xu Shu sighed: "However, if I don't kill you now, not only will I not kill you, but I will also create the illusion that you are courteous, and tell people outside that you are my new hir, and it is thanks to you that you have done a series of work for me in Wuxi, so that I can successfully wipe out the lawless heroes in Wuxi and those Shanyue barbarians with bad intentions, and give the people of Wuxi a stable and united living environment, do you think this is good?"

"That's great, I'm not going to be able to get along in the Hanoi family anyway. As I said just now, there are too many talents under the Ming Gong's account, if it weren't for this incident, he would have thought of using me, you are helping me by doing this, I am here to thank you. Sima Yi was still not happy or angry, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

For the children of the big family, the family is their umbrella and their foundation, they will not turn their backs on the family no matter what, Xu Shu didn't expect Sima Yi to deal with this issue so simply. But soon he reacted: "Since this is the case, then do this! Come, take him down! Treat him as a prisoner!"

Now it was Sima Yi's turn to be stunned: "You, you want to treat me as a prisoner? You don't kill me? Aren't you afraid that I will incite your soldiers to rebel?"

Xu Shu looked at him amusedly when he heard this: "I advise you to dispel this idea, if you don't believe it, you can try it, you were killed, don't blame me for not reminding you." ”

Sima Yi was quickly escorted away, Xu Shu returned to the study, thinking of Sima Yi's suspicious eyes when he turned around, he couldn't help muttering: "You want to encourage the soldiers in Jingzhou to rebel, this is purely looking for death!"

Facts have proved that Xu Shu's self-confidence is justified. Sima Yi, who did not believe in evil, really tried to "communicate" with the soldiers who guarded him. As a result, he had just started when he was rolled over by the illiterate soldier: "If you break your mouth again, be careful that I will starve you for three days and three nights...... Really, I have always felt that you captives should be allowed to eat chaff, or even to be denied food and drink, so that you will starve to death. Giving you white rice makes you talk nonsense for a long time! I'm really tired of being crooked, and I want to smoke it!"

In the face of such a soldier, Sima Yi was speechless. When he thought that not every soldier was like this, he would always meet people with less determined hearts, and as a result, ten or twenty days passed, and his incitement did him no good except in exchange for starvation and beating. But he still thought that this was deliberately arranged by Xu Shu, and he didn't believe that there really was an army that could not be instigated.

In fact, where would Xu Shu pay attention to him anymore, and he didn't pay attention to him after locking him up. It's just that the thing that wrote a notice announcing the hiring of Sima Yi was not fake, he really did it. As for the effect, it is still very satisfactory to Xu Shu, at least after that, there has never been a similar major incident in Jingzhou.

Xu Shu is now worried about the situation on the front line in Sichuan day and night, and with the deepening of the closure of the large army, the exchange of intelligence is not as smooth as it was at the beginning, and there is often no news of Liu Yan for a month. Xu Shu sometimes couldn't help but think that if Pang Tong was guarding Jingzhou at this time, and he followed her into Sichuan, where would he be now.

In his hand, there is also a map of Xichuan, and he is staring at this picture at this time. He didn't get the information on the front line as quickly as Liu Yan, but he still knew a little. The momentum of our army at the beginning made him feel a little uneasy, but he was afraid that the enemy had loosened his pockets and deliberately led us in, and when our army had penetrated deeply, he would concentrate superior forces and annihilate us in one fell swoop.

Before entering Sichuan, he, Pang Tong and Liu Yan all thought that Jingzhou's army was not a little stronger than Sichuan's army, and even if they concentrated their forces to counterattack, they were not our opponents. But now that Liu Yan is following the army deeply, he has changed his thinking, in the art of war and actual combat, there are many examples of showing strength and showing weakness as a strategy, and he also understands the truth of combining fiction and reality.

It is because I understand that I doubt it, and it is because I have doubts that I am worried, worried that the disciples will rush in and make stupid moves. If he was by her side, he might be able to restrain her, but Shi Yuan he, I'm afraid he wouldn't have so much energy. They, will something happen?

Thinking about it like this, Xu Shu's whole person is not good. Pacing back and forth in the study, fidgeting. I can't think of anything else. It wasn't until the officials outside reported that there was an urgent report of the military situation from Nanyang. Xu Shu was relieved from the disordered train of thought, took the urgent report and looked at it, his brows furrowed again, this method of attacking instead of defending, but let the enemy use it first! It seems that the matter of Wuxi is still handled a little slower, which makes the enemy think that there is a chance to take advantage of it!

The urgent report came from Li Yan. It is said that there are always Cao's cavalry near Nanyang recently, they don't kill people, they just destroy the fields and loot property, relying on the advantage of the cavalry to come and go without a trace, Li Yan has asked Zhao Yun for help, but Zhao Yun's cavalry is twisted together and has momentum, once they are scattered and defended everywhere, the weakness of the recruits is still highlighted.

On the other side of the Cao army was the tiger and leopard cavalry, which were all veterans of a hundred battles, and the quality of individual soldiers was much higher than that of these new soldiers in Jingzhou. Although Zhao Yun is not afraid of anyone, he is only one person after all, and he cannot teleport to various battlefields, so the exhausting defense makes Zhao Yun also miserable. The enemy was clearly deliberate, and not coming to attack the city was just an attack, which made Li Yan and Zhao Yun feel a lot of pressure at the same time.

Xu Shu was also furious in his heart when he got the information, not causing trouble does not mean that he is afraid of things, and if the tiger does not exert his might, you will still treat me as a sick cat! The Jingzhou cavalry has just become a formidable one-on-one fight, of course, I can't fight with you one-on-one, but why should I use my weaknesses to deal with your strengths? I'm not stupid!
