Chapter 21

A few days later,

Shinno General's Office,

Jia Xu hurriedly came, but before he could speak, he rushed over and said loudly with his fists clenched.

"Report, Qi Yu Lord, Xuzhou War Report."

"Say,"

"Lu Bu colluded with Cao Bao and led the army to take Xuzhou lightly, and now Liu Bei's army was defeated and fled to Guangling, Guangling was too guarded to secretly surrender to Yuan Shu, and the door was closed, and now Liu Bei's army has been dispersed, and now he is in Haixi."

After the soldier finished speaking, Jia Xu's eyes froze.

This... How is this possible? The lord actually expected this matter more than ten days ago, and Jia Xu just thought it was possible, but now he found that he was getting more and more unable to see through Zhang Xiu.

What is the enemy thousands of miles away, I am afraid there is nothing more than this.

"Well, stand down!" Zhang Xiu waved his hand to repulse, and turned to look at Jia Xu, who was in a hurry, "Wenhe, what's the matter with such a hurry?" ”

"Lord, there is a great drought in Hedong, and the rice is worth 100,000 yuan, and everyone cannibalism. Now the emperor has returned to Luoyang, issued the order of the Son of Heaven, and edicted the king of Qin. Jia Xu came back to his senses and said quickly.

Zhang Xiu was not surprised, if he remembered well, Yuan Shao was afraid that the Son of Heaven would be hindered, so he did not go to welcome the Son of Heaven, Liu Biao sent people to send food and money, and Cao Cao led the army to go, and welcomed the Son of Heaven to Xuchang in August, and from then on coerced the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate.

Seeing that Zhang Xiu was not shocked, Jia Xu was shocked and said: "Lord, you have expected this matter a long time ago." ”

Zhang Xiu smiled and said nothing, and asked in a different way: "Wenhe, do you guess Cao Cao received the edict of the Son of Heaven, what will happen to him next?" ”

"Cao Cao?" Jia Xu's eyebrows condensed slightly, and he fell into deep thought, Zhang Xiu would not tell him about it for no reason.

After a few breaths, his pupils tightened, and he said hurriedly: "Is the lord saying that Cao Cao will go north to Luoyang and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes?" ”

"That's right, not only that, Cao Cao will definitely lead the army this time.

First, to deter Yang Feng, and secondly, he wanted to give the civil and military officials a dismount, show the courage of his soldiers, and then move the Son of Heaven to Xuchang, so as to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. ”

Zhang Xiu said solemnly.

Jia Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, moving the capital to Xuchang? He vaguely recalled that three months ago, Zhang Xiu said the first sentence of Haotian God's dream, Emperor Luo and Xuchang!!

Thinking of this, Jia Xu took a deep breath,

It seems that there is really providence in the dark!

In this regard, Jia Xu didn't dare to slack off, and said in a deep voice: "Lord, don't you want to take advantage of the situation and attack Yuzhou?" ”

"Not exactly." Zhang Xiu shook his head and chuckled,

"But my lord, even if Yuzhou is empty, but I, Nanyang, except for the new pawns, there are only thousands of people who dare to fight, with these horses alone, I'm afraid..."

As he spoke, Jia Xu seemed to think of something and fell into deep thought.

For a long time, his deep pupils trembled, and he said in disbelief: "Lord, you showed favor to Lu Bu earlier, did you want to attack Cao Cao from afar?" ”

Jia Xu was shocked in his heart, if this was the case, how terrible was Zhang Xiu?

Zhang Xiu smiled gently, although she did not answer, but she did not deny it.

Jia Xu swallowed his saliva and said urgently: "But the lord, Lu Bu has taken Xuzhou, and at this time, Xuzhou is worried about foreign troubles, how can he send troops to help?" ”

"If Liu Bei is afraid that it will be more difficult, but if it is Lu Bu, then I am nine points sure that he will send troops. What's more, it's just a matter of letting it out of a partial division. Zhang Xiu replied.

It's not that he looks down on Lu Bu, it's just that Lu Bu is greedy, and if he has milk, he is a mother, and he has done too many things like this.

Jia Xu's frowns gradually loosened, as if he knew Zhang Xiu's intentions, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The lord is far-sighted, and he can't tell it!" ”

"Wen He is too modest." Zhang Xiu was quite embarrassed, waved his hand and said: "Wenhe, you immediately send someone to Xuzhou with your daughter to meet Lu Bu." ”

"As long as he made a big show in early July, he led the three armies out of Peiguo and approached Liang and Chenliu. There is no need to attack the city and plunder the land, just need to garrison the troops with this, and afterwards I will give it 100,000 Hu. ”

"One hundred thousand Hu? Lord, is this too much? Jia Xu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.

"Haha, Wenhe, 100,000 is not much. What's more, it is a long way to Xuzhou, and it is inevitable to be robbed. The corners of Zhang Xiu's mouth hooked up a sneer.

Jia Xu is also cunning and cunning, and the two look at each other and smile, tacitly.

"In addition, you go to Shouchun in person, and first go to meet Changshi Yanxiang,

Tell the pros and cons, let him persuade Yuan Shu to send troops to fight Cao, introduce this person, and then go to see Yuan Shu, otherwise this matter will not be successful. Zhang Xiu said in particular.

"Yuan Shu? Does the lord want to take advantage of Cao Cao to go north and cut down Cao in three ways? Jia Xu was frightened, how could ordinary people dare to seize such a fighter, and there was intrigue among the princes, how could they enter lightly without benefits.

Zhang Xiu shook his head helplessly and said: "Instead of sitting still, it is better to take the initiative to attack, even if you can't move its foundation, you must let Cao Cao hurt his muscles and bones, so as not to make the disparity in strength too big in the future." ”

Jia Xu nodded approvingly, now that Cao Cao is sitting on the two states of Yan and Henan, if he is allowed to pass this weak period, he will definitely lead the army to attack in the coming year, how will he fight at that time?

"Don't worry, my lord, arrange the trivial matters, and I will leave for Shouchun." Jia Xu said solemnly,

"Oh yes, Liu Biao heard the edict, and wanted to offer 100,000 yuan of grain, more than 10 million dollars, and countless jewels and agate, and shipped them to Luoyang to help the Son of Heaven, Liu Biao wanted to let the lord cooperate to prevent Nanyang from being plundered."

"Oh~? Anti-thief, is it? ”

Zhang Xiu raised his eyebrows, but the corners of his eyes were slightly narrowed, revealing a hint of yin and evil, this is what he is good at!

"I know, Wen and you can go with peace of mind."

With Jia Xu leaving, the house was empty, Zhang Xiu was sad, Jia Xu left and he didn't even have anyone to talk to, sad!

Jia Xu is good at everything, but he has no family power, let alone a circle of scholars. Now that I think about it, Cao Cao was thanks to Xun Yu in the early stage, and Xun Yu recommended countless talents to him.

"Hey, no background, no connections! Think of Yuan Shao, holding high the banner of righteousness, and coming from all directions. No matter how bad Boss Cao is, although the background is poor, the Cao Xiahou family is prosperous.

In this battle, we must make a name for ourselves, so that the world knows Nanyang Zhang Xiu, so that good generals and virtuous ministers can come to vote. Zhang Xiu clenched her fingers and shouted secretly in her heart.

However, the top priority is to deal with the government affairs at hand, and find a way to bring people to eat Liu Biao's offerings, after all, don't do it in vain, as long as you don't get discovered.

After handling government affairs, it was already noon.

Government affairs are not too difficult, but they are more cumbersome and laborious, but Zhang Xiu's knowledge is quite profound, and he can deal with it in a county.

Stretching his waist, Zhang Xiu walked along Xinye.

Most of the new city has been built, and the area of the city will more than double by then.

Walking on the streets, businessmen gathered.

Looking at the increasingly prosperous Xinye, Zhang Xiu faintly had a sense of accomplishment in his heart, especially these people were in awe of him, which made Zhang Xiu's sense of accomplishment soar.

After walking around, Zhang Xiu was also hungry.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, there was no lunch, and the sun rose and sunset, and usually only the wealthy would eat lunch.

Go straight back to the mansion,

In the backyard, the crepe family wore a cyan dress to show everyone's beautiful state, and the beautiful and fair apricot face made people can't take their eyes off, and she is also busy!

Stone table.

The stone table is recessed, and there is a large cauldron on it, and in the cauldron is stewed a river fish, which is very fat.

I saw that the crepe's slender jade hand was holding the dead dough cake and sticking it on the cauldron.

The gurgling soup ended in an instant.

However, in the late Han Dynasty, there was no such thing as steamed bread, and wheat was not ground into flour and eaten, but steamed and eaten like rice. In this regard, Zhang Xiu specially arranged for someone to grind some noodles, although it was a little yellow, but it was better than the throaty wheat.

As for the craft of crepe, it was also taught by Zhang Xiu.

"I'm back," Crepe said with a gentle smile as he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

After getting along for three months, the crepe family has gone from being forced to be forced at the beginning to being full of red light now.

She experienced the joy of life and the joy that a woman should have. He treats himself very well, unlike other men who treat her as a plaything, but respects her.

Perhaps, this is the life she wants most.

"My wife sits at home, and I don't feel solid if I don't come back." Zhang Xiu grabbed the crepe's willow waist, sat on the stone bench, and joked with a smile

The crepe clan glanced at Zhang Xiu fiercely, and said coquettishly: "You are my nephew, where can you put your hands in broad daylight?" ”

Although it was said, the crepe did not move it away, but leaned over to take the dishes and chopsticks, and fed a piece of fish meat to Zhang Xiu, his face was full of happiness.

It seems that she has regarded herself as a woman embroidered by Zhang Xiu, no matter what happens in the future, her heart is the same.
