If Zhang You knew that Cao Cao wanted to give such a special gift when he got married, he would definitely be moved, and then prepare a thick gift to return the gift.

Zhang You, who grew up under the influence of the state of etiquette, has always known what it means to be courteous.

Unfortunately, he didn't know about it.

Zhang You is very busy, although the marrying of a woman is not as particular as the literati, Rao is so, and it is far more troublesome than later generations.

The three books and six rituals alone are enough for Zhang You to drink a pot, not to mention that it is just an appetizer.

There is good news. After a few days of inhuman training, he finally entered the gravel realm, and the improvement of his strength did not bring him too much joy, after all, the big guys around him were around, and there was only a gravel realm, which was really a little difficult to take, but he was able to feel the strength of others in the dark, and he still had a lot of fun.

In the future, when he recruited military generals, at least he didn't need to rely entirely on the history books of later generations.

In Zhang You's view, he was written by the victor after all. It is inevitable to have some subjective emotions, and besides, a person does not have the opportunity to experience all events, and most of the records are only hearsay, and there may be eighty percent truths, but there are also many doubts, and there is no truth that has been seen with one's own eyes.

I have to say that the quality of his fifty-man cavalry team is really good. The martial artists of the Gravel Realm are already qualified to be a junior general, and among these fifty people, there are several warriors of the Gravel Realm.

Speaking of the cavalry team, Zhang Yiyi and his party finally engraved all the words.

Mi Zhu's book does have more than 30,000 words. However, there are always a lot of repetitive words in the article, and in fact, there are only a few more than a thousand engraved words.

That's why. In just five or six days, the first step was successfully completed. Then there's the typography. I believe that a few finished books will appear in a few days.

This is much faster than Zhang You imagined, but now that the thousand horses have not arrived, this is not in a hurry.

Another thing is that Xu Sheng came, and his mother died.

It's not that he died of illness, the culprit is the shopkeeper who caused the trouble before.

He spent two days avenging his mother, and another three days to bury him, and after doing all this, he came to Zhang You.

He was ready to fulfill his promise, but neither of them expected that this time would come so early.

"If I remember correctly, the shopkeeper should have been taken away by Uncle Song, right?"

According to Zhang You's understanding of this era, if he offended him, even if Song Xian showed mercy and didn't kill him, he would have to torture him for a few days. The fact that he was able to come out unscathed is an intriguing thing.

"He didn't go to jail at all."

Xu Sheng's voice was a little cold, although he was famous for his martial arts, he was not a tendon, and his own intelligence level was not low.

He continued: "If it weren't for the fact that there were many brothers in the city, I wouldn't have been able to catch him so quickly, I tortured him before I died, and the previous general didn't lock him up at all, just told him not to appear in front of you. He didn't dare to look for you, but he hated me so much. According to him, he wants to leave Xiapi anyway, and he doesn't want me to feel better. ”

Song Xian and the shopkeeper have a personal relationship, Zhang You doesn't believe it, they belong to two people who are not in the same world at all. Then, Song Xianken let him go, and there can only be one explanation.

As the saying goes, beating a dog to see the master, dare to risk offending Zhang You for a mere house slave, presumably his relationship with the Zhao family is not just good.

It's not good news that a foreign warlord is involved with a local family.

Xu Sheng's words were still a lot more tactful. Since the shopkeeper still dared to kill someone, he must still have confidence in his heart.

Where does the confidence come from?

Zhang You felt more and more that his foundation was too shallow, and he only had a rough understanding of Xiapi City, and a little deeper, it could be said that he didn't know anything.

This can't blame him, he has only been in Xiapi for six or seven days.

Fortunately, Xu Sheng's appearance gave him the opportunity to make up for this shortcoming.

Not only did he come alone, but he also brought his little brother who was in Xiapi with two hundred, saying that he wanted Zhang You to eat.

In this regard, Zhang You naturally would not refuse, and gave Xu Sheng some gold and silver for him to settle down.

Xu Sheng's efficiency was not low, and at noon, he came to Zhang You's side again.

Zhang You turned to Xu Sheng and asked, "Wen Xiang, you also know that I will not be in Xiapi for a short time, so tell me about Xiapi." ”

Xu Sheng pondered for a while, and then said: "Xiapi is where the Xuzhou system is located, originally under the rule of Taozhou Mu, he broke the Xuzhou Yellow Turban, and implemented Tuntian, resumed production, and Xuzhou also prospered for a while. ”

It can be seen that Xu Sheng admires Tao Qian very much, Zhang You nodded, and motioned for him to continue.

"Then Cao Cao invaded the border, and the state pastor died of illness under the worry, and let Xuzhou and Liu Bei go three before he died."

"Is there really a three-way thing?"

Although this is a famous scene in later generations, Zhang You still has doubts.

Xu Sheng thought for a while and replied: "Probably not, I have a friend who served in the state pastor before, according to what he said, there is no three ways to say, even if the state pastor dies in the end, there is only Mi Beijia by his side." ”

"You mean?"

"I don't dare to make a conclusion, but soon after Liu Bei took over Xuzhou, he married a woman from the Mi family."

Although Xu Sheng didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was obvious, and it should be a little greasy. Whether Tao Qian said such a thing before he died, perhaps only Mi Zhu, who was a different driver at that time, knew it.

Zhang You didn't care if Tao Qian had said this, he cared about Mrs. Mi.

He really didn't expect this. He always thought that Mrs. Mi was not married at this time.

"The line between Liu Bei and the Mi family seems to be much stronger than I imagined." Zhang You sighed secretly in his heart.

In-laws, placed in the late Han Dynasty, can be said to be a very magical relationship, you can say that it is very iron, after all, in case it falls to the point of being raided, this relationship can still save lives, and once one party soars, the other party can always be more or less stained with some light.

The magic of it is that this relationship can also become worthless.

Take the Mi family and Liu Bei as an example, the Mi family is rich, if Liu Bei gains power, the Mi family can still mix around Liu Bei by virtue of their money and this relationship, if Liu Bei loses power, he can also step on it in order to please someone.

In the final analysis, it is just an exchange of interests.

Fortunately, Liu Bei is currently losing power, which has not brought any irreparable damage to his decision-making, so just pay more attention to it in the future.

"Maybe it's because of this that Liu Bei can't be recognized by the Xuzhou family, the Mi family has been excluded by the Xu family, and now with the help of Liu Bei's power standing above their heads, they naturally don't want to, so there is a drama that later welcomes Wen and waits for Xiapi."

Seeing Xu Sheng's hesitation, Zhang You asked, "Wen Xiang, what is unspeakable?" ”

"Sheng has a piece of news, I don't know if I should tell it or not."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Zhang... Does the lord know who is the leader of the family that welcomes Wen Hou? ”

Xu Sheng originally wanted to call Zhang You Brother Zhang, but when he thought that he had taken refuge at this time, he also changed his name.

"Cao Bao."

This point, Zhang You read from the history books, at that time, Cao Bao's position was the next minister, and he had been operating in Xuzhou for many years, and he had the qualifications to take the lead, so presumably this historical material should not be wrong.

"Yes, but Cao Bao himself died the day after Wen Hou entered the city."

"Didn't he die on the battlefield?"

Zhang You had the impression that Cao Bao was killed by Zhang Fei, but since Xu Sheng brought it out alone to say this, it must not be simple.

History books cannot be trusted.

Xu Sheng opened his mouth and replied: "That's not the case, he died on the belly of the woman, and the woman also disappeared mysteriously." ”

Someone in Xiapi wants to kill Cao Bao. And it was the day after he welcomed Lu Bu into the city, which was undoubtedly a great provocation to Lu Bu's majesty.

"How did Uncle Lu do it?"

"The whole city is strictly forbidden, nothing is found, and nothing is done."

Xu Sheng used three words to describe Lu Bu's actions. In short, this game, he lost.

Obviously, there is an invisible force in Xiapi City, and they don't want Lu Bu to sit in this position.

Zhang You nodded and motioned for Xu Sheng to continue.

Xu Sheng understood, and then said: "Later, Chen Deng, the son of Peixiang Chen Jue, came forward to appease the Xiapi family, and he himself successfully entered the state pastoral mansion. ”

At that time, Cao Cao did not have a large army to suppress the border, and Chen Deng went to Xudu in the name of Wen Hou, wanting to sit in the position of Shizhou pastor. As a result, the lord must have known that there was no appointment from Xuzhou Mu, but Chen Deng took advantage of this to rise to the top and became the Taishou of Guangling. ”

To be honest, Zhang You is still a little disdainful of Chen Deng's approach, since it is a business trip, it is no problem for you to do some private work, so you can finish the official work first, so forget the official because of personal reasons, if it is Zhang You's subordinate, you must let him know why the flowers are so red.

What Zhang You didn't know was that Chen Deng was not only forgetting his official duties because of his personal interests, but Cao Cao's dispatch of troops this time was more or less related to what he said to Cao Cao when he sent Xu Du.

"What about the Cao family?" Zhang You asked. He thought of something very important.

The Cao family he is talking about is not Cao Cao, but Cao Bao.

Xu Sheng obviously also knew what Zhang You meant, and replied: "It's gone, it's only been two years of hard work, and now in Picheng, I'm afraid that a single Cao family member is gone." ”

Zhang You frowned, this was a signal, and Lu Bu obviously didn't notice this.

If Cao Bao was killed, it happened suddenly, and Lu Bu did not have much responsibility. Then, he should never have allowed his family to fall.

Thousands of dollars buy horse bones! He must do it to everyone in Xuzhou, help me Lu Bu, and I will make his family prosperous.

Instead of today's people taking tea and cooling.

The tea is cold, and everyone sees it.

Besides, there are a lot of secret means to make the Cao family completely decline in just two years.

This is a dangerous signal, it wants to isolate Lu Bu, it is warning everyone that the people who help Lu Bu will not end well.

Zhang You sighed, Xiapi, it was really not as simple as he imagined.

At the same time, he still had doubts in his heart, this matter, even if Lu Bu didn't know the powerful relationship, how could Chen Gong not know?

Why didn't he come out to stop it?

Zhang You shook his head, this was obviously not the time to think about this problem.

The forces in Xiapi City are very mixed, aside from Lu Bu's forces, in a corner of the shadows, there is still a pair of eyes staring at Lu Bu, just from the tip of the iceberg it exposes It can be seen that its energy in Xiapi is not small.

These hands are not Mi family.

It is true that the Mi family has a motive to do it, and he also has a reason to hate Cao Bao.

Don't forget, he is a businessman, he is incompatible with the local family in Xuzhou, Liu Bei's failure has made him understand that the family in Xuzhou will not let him stand on his head, he can only choose to hibernate instead of making waves.

In this way, the only ones who can have the strength to do this big hand are those local families in Xuzhou.

Zhang You is sure that even at the beginning, there were not many families involved in Cao Bao's matter.

But after this incident, those neutral families who saw Lu Bu's attitude, and even those who were already close to Lu Bu, would definitely stand on the side of the big hand.

It can be said that almost all the families in the entire Xiapi are now standing on the opposite side of Lu Bu.

This is the belly and back of the enemy!

What's worse is that even Song Xian, the general under Lu Bu, is close to those families.

"Tell me about the family of Xiapi."

It seems that Lü Bu's enemies are not just Cao Cao outside the city.

Hopefully, the two are not related.

Xu Sheng obviously did his homework, so he did not hesitate to answer: "There are many Xiapi families, and the Chen family has been the most before, and now the family has gone to Yuzhou, and the Zhao family is in power, that is, the Zhao family before, in addition, there are also the Qian family, the Li family, and the Wang family, these four families can be called the four families of Xiapi." There are more than a dozen smaller ones. Most of them are headed by these four. ”

Even Xu Sheng, when arranging the family, also threw the Mi family out, which shows that the status of the Mi family is really embarrassing.

"How many people do they have?"

"There are about a thousand of them together, and as for whether there is hidden in the shadows, Sheng really doesn't know."

Well, now that the traitor has not been found, Xiapi has another unstable factor with obvious ill intentions.

And Mi Zhu is far more difficult to recruit than he imagined.

In this way, it was a good thing that Lu Bu suppressed Liu Bei at the beginning, otherwise the ghost knows if he would persuade Mi Zhu to come and govern him in the same way.

Zhang You's face was serious, and after a deep groan, he still said: "Presumably, Wen Xiang also knows in his heart that Uncle Jia is now in danger. ”

After this conversation, Zhang You already understood in his heart that Xu Sheng and Xu Shu were almost the same, and they could be regarded as people with both civil and military skills.

It's just that compared to Xu Shu, Xu Sheng's force value is higher and his intelligence value is lower.

This is only lower than Xu Shu, and in front of ordinary people, he is also a proper high-IQ person.

This is also the reason why Zhang You opened his mouth to say this, as Zhang You said, Xu Sheng has no reason not to see this, even so, he still wants to join Lu Bu, to be precise, Zhang You is a broken ship, Zhang You needs a reason that can convince him.

"Now, Wen Hou is the only person in the entire Xuzhou who can have a chance to resist Cao Cao."

In this sentence, Xu Sheng said very sincerely.

He hated Cao Cao very much.

Zhang You nodded, he believed Xu Sheng's reason.
