Chapter 224: There are many spies

It is said that Chen Long successively defeated Zhang Xiu with internal strength, and then defeated Chen Zhi with marksmanship, except for Zhou Cang's injury, the battle of Wancheng ended perfectly. And the heavy responsibility of taking over the defense of Wancheng was handed over to Zhou Cang, who was injured and difficult to walk.

Chen Long thought about it again and again, and decided to take the risk of switching the defense of Wancheng, and Zhao Yun and Fu Zhi's army, which was guarding Xiangyang, was the closest distance, and it was obviously the first choice to replace Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu. However, the position of Xiangyang was too important, and there was no suitable person to replace Zhao Yun for a while, so Chen Long decided to take the risk and talk to Chen to Chen Shuzhi in detail.

Zhang Xiu made a fool of himself and was injured in the competition, and he was closed for a while, Jia Xu, as a military advisor, hurriedly rushed back to the city from Shili Temple to preside over the daily life. Although Jia Xu is a wise man, his prestige is insufficient, and he sees that Wancheng is about to fall apart.

At this time, Wancheng began to emerge with many spy shadows. Yuan Shu has the most spy personnel, as early as a few years ago, he set up Wanluo Xing, which specializes in land transportation in Wancheng, with hundreds of people, and has an inextricable relationship with Zhang Xiu's military personnel. At this moment, Yuan Shu heard that Wancheng was attacked by Chen Long in advance, and he was anxious, but the heavy troops were gathered at the Tiger Prison Pass to deal with the northern coalition forces, so he had to instruct the Wancheng spy personnel to quickly carry out Zhang Xiu's general rebellion.

Cao Cao intends to run Xudu, and it is also imperative to Wancheng, which is close at hand, so he has already sent spy personnel to lurk in the well of Wancheng, incarnated as the innkeeper and Xiao Er, who is responsible for transmitting information, and the host's surname is Lu Mingqian Zike. This person is brave and strategic, when Cao Cao was in Yanzhou, he appointed him to be engaged in it, and led his family to garrison Hulu. Later, he was promoted to Taishan Taishou and worked with Xiahou Yuan to suppress the Yellow Turban Army in Jinan and other places. Later, he was promoted to Xiucai, and was appointed as a cavalry lieutenant, and he was Cao Cao's trusted confidant. Lü Qian delivered the news to Cao Cao, and he also received instructions to divide and rebel.

At the same time, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou and even Yangzhou around Wancheng all had spy reports haunting Wancheng, and they all learned the news that Zhang Xiu was about to surrender to Chen Long, and the whole country was shaken for a while, and they were deeply worried about Chen Long's sudden recovery of Wancheng. After all, Wancheng is very close to the two capitals, the geographical location is too important, and it goes deep into the Central Plains, and suddenly pulls Chen Long's Qinglong Army into the Central Plains War. After all, it is one thing for the Qinglong Army to occupy the south of the Yangtze River and Jingzhou, but the symbolism of the occupation of Wancheng is very different. The most important thing, the connection between the Han court in Chang'an and Long Chen suddenly became closer, who can guarantee that Long Chen will not come to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes?

The chaos of the situation in Wancheng also prompted Chen Long to make up his mind and have a long talk with Chen Zhi. Three days after the school competition, Chen Zhi appeared at Chen Long's inn in civilian clothes, and saw that Chen Long's guards were all tidying up their bags, and said slightly strangely: "Lord, Wancheng is undecided, are you going to leave so soon?"

Chen Long let go of his chaotic thoughts, led Chen Zhi to the study, and said in a deep voice: "I have something to do to rush to Chang'an." Shu Zhi is a loyal and righteous person, but Wancheng is about to come in a storm, if I don't talk to Shu Zhi, who else can I talk to?"

Chen Zhi was moved in his heart, and arched his hand: "Lord, I will naturally assist General Zhou Cang and suppress the traitors who are about to move in Wancheng." Chen Long nodded and said, "Uncle Zhi can help me, what else do I have to worry about." In the past few days, Jia Xu has also been doing Zhang Xiu's work, hoping that Zhang Xiu can also surrender with all his heart. I don't know how many people can be in the army loyal to Shuzhi?"

Chen Zhixin said, it turns out that Jia Xu's military division is also the lord's person, and people's hearts are really unfathomable. He replied: "There are 5,000 soldiers and horses in the headquarters, all of whom are children of their hometown, and the troops I have formed with my own hands can be trusted. ”

Chen Longxi said: "Very good, I don't know which areas of Wancheng to control?"

"The soldiers and horses camp is in the northwest of Wancheng, and the west gate is under control. Duan Xuan, the guard of the north gate, is Mr. Jia Xu's person. Chen Long saw that Chen Zhi's words were sincere, knowing that he was surrendering with all his heart, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said: "Uncle Zhi, since this is the case, tomorrow I will publicly announce that Zhou Cang will be the temporary commander of Wancheng, with Jia Xu as the military advisor, Zhang Xiu and Shu Zhi as the deputy commanders, stationed in Wancheng. And Uncle Zhi should secretly supervise the movements of Wancheng for me and destroy the people who are ready to move. If you don't know anything, you can consult Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe. Chen nodded in agreement.

The next day, although there were many grassroots generals who were not convinced, and there were espionage personnel divided, after all, Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu, Chen Zhi and other senior generals all accepted Chen Long's appointment on the surface. Chen Long has no reorganization plan in the short term, but the change of defense with Zhao Yun's First Army is already in full swing, and the key to it is Jia Xu and Chen Zhi to stabilize the morale of the Wancheng army.

Zhang Xiu has always claimed that he is seriously injured, hiding in the mansion and being ashamed to see people, and only meets with a few generals with the best relationship such as Jia Xu and Hu Che'er every day, and Jia Xu is not in a hurry to put pressure, as long as he gradually does his job. Zhang Xiuben obeyed Jia Xu's words, and gradually became firmer, realizing that Chen Long was his backer in the future, and personally sent Zou to Chen Long's inn a few days later. Just when Wancheng gradually settled down, Chen Long remembered that Cai Yan was about to give birth, so he didn't delay any longer, and took the newlywed Zou and Tong Feifei with Yan'er, and the group except Zhou Cang stayed in Wancheng, and Lu Chang and others rushed to Chang'an with Chen Long.

The cavalry walked along the edge of Shangluo Mountain, walked for 15 days, and saw the outline of Chang'an, the city of Xiongcheng, and it was still magnificent in the sunset. Zhong Miao got the news in advance and waited secretly at the city gate, Chen Long didn't want to alarm the other forces in Chang'an, so he ordered Huang Gai, Xu Shu and others not to come to greet him. After Chen Long finishes Cai Wenji's affairs, it is not too late to study the situation in Chang'an.

The group stayed at the Zhong Family Inn, settled Zou and Feifei, Chen Long incarnated as a Confucian student, and took the makeup followers Lu Chang and Tong Feifei to Cai Mansion the next day.

It is said that it is Caifu, but it is actually a temporary Liuhe compound, with only a dozen family members and servants, all of whom are old people brought from Luoyang. Cai Yong knew that crying Dong was guilty, and he closed the door every day, and after Cai Yan returned, he was separated from Chen Long, and his heart was like ashes, and Cai's house was dead and silent, and there were many people, which could be described as unpopular. Since the death of his wife, Cai Yong locked himself in the study every day, indulging in poetry and painting, knowing that Cai Yan's belly was as big as a day, because he was ashamed of being a descendant of the Huns, he also let Cai Yan live and die, and never paid attention to it. Only a few of Cai Yan's companions of the old servant women cared about the days of childbirth, and the days were very bleak.

Chen Long listened to Zhong Xuan's report on Cai Yan's current situation, and felt sad, so he went to the gate of Cai's mansion and knocked on the knocker in person. After a while, the dilapidated gate finally cracked a crack, revealing an old dragon clock's head and asked, "Who is it?"

Chen Long didn't wait for the old man to ask, he had already squeezed in, and saw that the courtyard was very simple, and he could see a few tiled houses behind him at a glance. The old man scratched his head and asked, "This official, but when you visit the master, the master will not see any guests, please forgive me." Then he muttered, "No one has been here for months." ”

Chen Long asked Lu Chang to help the old man and asked, "How is your young lady?"

The old man's eyes showed a strange look, and he said in a dumb voice: "My young lady....... I didn't see any guests, and I asked the officials to tell me my identity, or I asked you to go back. Chen Long saw that the old man was very stubborn, so he simply gave Lu Chang a look, Lu Chang understood, hugged the old man with both hands and said, "Old man! The official of my family is the closest relative of your young lady and the savior of your master, so why ask so many questions, they just go to meet by themselves. ”

Chen Long pulled Feifei and walked inside, the old man was hugged by Lu Chang, couldn't move, couldn't even shout out his voice, had to give up, and asked Lu Chang: "You let go, this official in your family seems to be familiar, who is it?"

Chen Long and Feifei saw that the courtyard was simply separated, and a few servant women came in and out behind a circle door on the left, so they walked towards this side, and those servant women saw the living people and stood one after another. Tong Feifei stepped forward and asked, "Where is Sister Cai Yan?"

Seeing that Tong Feifei was dressed in men's clothes, she was beautiful and beautiful, and her voice was also a girl, so they pointed to the room and asked, "Who is our Miss Cai?"

Before the words fell, Long Chen had already walked in front of Cai Yan's house, and several old servants who were bluffing hurriedly shouted: "Where did you come from, don't hurt the young lady's fetal gas!" ”

The people in the house heard a commotion in the outer courtyard, squeaked and pushed open the row of windows, and a clear woman's voice came, asking, "What's the matter?"

The row of windows was pushed open, and the people in and outside the window were stunned at the same time, under the dazzling sunlight outside the window, a tall and handsome, sword-eyed and star-eyed, righteous and awe-inspiring, not Chen Long who he thought about day and night, but who was it? Could it be that we met in a dream?
