Chapter Twenty-Five: Jia Xu's Scheme

Nanyang, Wancheng. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the key point of the north and south, Nanyang is close to Wuguan in the west, Luoyang in the north, Jingxiang in the south, and Yingchuan and Runan in the east, which is a place that the soldiers must occupy, but in the same way, most of the caravans coming and going from the south to the north also have to pass through this place, and over time, it has also formed the prosperity of Nanyang.

More than 10 years have passed since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, although the world is constantly strife, but Nanyang because of its special geographical location, but gradually recovered a little bit of vitality, Zhang Xiu is not a too ambitious person, so after occupying Nanyang, did not overexploit the people, but also Nanyang attracted a lot of refugees to settle here, if it were not for Cao Cao's attack a year ago, so that Nanyang people panic, Nanyang may be more prosperous than now.

Wancheng, as the county of Nanyang, is naturally the most prosperous and the most heavily guarded place, even if Zhang Xiu has no ambition, but in troubled times, he does not dare to take it lightly, and a large number of people are stationed in Wancheng.

At the gate of the city, a group of heavily armed and angry soldiers headed towards the southeast under the leadership of a general, and the passers-by who were about to enter the city around avoided them with a little awe.

"It's the eighth batch." In the crowd, Chen Gong, who was dressed in a Confucian robe, frowned and looked at the troops galloping away, and muttered to himself.

"Sir, what's the eighth batch?" Xiong Kuohai was looking at the excitement, and turned his head to look at Chen Gong suspiciously.

"Let's go, let's go into town." Chen Gong shook his head, did not answer Xiong Kuohai's words, looked at the pedestrians around him who had begun to line up to enter the city again, and also took Xiong Kuohai and Zhou Cang, and walked in the direction of the city gate.

"Stop, what are you doing?" The defenders at the door suddenly stopped Chen Gong, frowned and looked at the three of Chen Gong, Chen Gong was dressed in a Confucian robe, with an elegant demeanor, but it was nothing, but the majestic sea and Zhou Cang who followed behind him had a murderous look on their faces, and they couldn't hide it, but their eyes swept over, which made these soldiers defending the city tremble in their hearts, and the generals guarding the city couldn't help but be suspicious.

Holding down the plate axe on his waist by holding down Xiong Kuohai, Chen Gong shook his head, and said with a bit of arrogance: "Xuzhou, Chen Yu of the Chen family in Sheyang, why did you stop me?" ”

Chen Yu is Chen Xing's uncle, the word Bo Su, is a famous man in Guangling, when Sun Ce captured Sheyang, in a fit of anger, he beheaded the Chen family, and shot the Chen family, except for Chen Xing, no one was spared, Chen Yu is the identity that Chen Gong and Lu Bu thought about in advance, even if they know and have Chen Xing's help, they can't see the flaws.

The city gate official frowned, the arrogance unique to celebrities and gentlemen on Chen Gong can't really be learned by ordinary people, not because of insufficient acting skills, but because of insufficient background, not only because of family background, but also because of what he learned in his chest.

Although there is some disdain in his heart, for celebrities, let alone him, even if Nanyang advocates embroidery, he does not dare to slack off, so he can only respectfully say: "These two, are they Mr.'s entourage?" ”

"Not bad." Chen Gong nodded coldly: "Can we go in?" ”

"Yes, you can." The city gate official nodded helplessly, people are divided into three, six, nine and so on, this kind of character, it's not something he can offend, let's let the top have a headache.

After watching Chen Gong enter, the city gate official thought for a while, beckoned his subordinates and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on these three people, you continue to watch, and I will go and report to the lord." ”

……

"Sir, someone is following us, do you want to find a remote place to kill them?" Xiong Kuohai followed Chen Gong's side, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"No, in this way, it will alarm the high-level Wancheng, we just need to be like ordinary celebrities." Chen Gong shook his head quietly, this is Wancheng, those people must have been sent by the city gate official before, if they are killed, they will attract the attention of the high-level Wancheng.

"But......" Xiong Kuohai scratched his head: "What do celebrities usually do?" ”

Chen Gong glared at him angrily: "Don't talk, learn from Zhou Cang, just like an ordinary guard, you will do whatever I ask you to do, understand?" ”

I don't understand.

Xiong Kuohai glanced at Chen Gong, and silently swallowed the words that came to his mouth, or learn from Zhou Cang.

Chen Gong was also a little helpless, he didn't expect to be targeted by people just after entering Wancheng, although Lu Bu had some kindness and let Xiong Kuohai protect himself, but this thing stood in the crowd, and it was too eye-catching, especially the pair of plate axes on his waist, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like bandits more than guards, and it was difficult not to be noticed.

Since you want to be a Baume & Mercier, then you can be a Baume & Mercier.

After making up his mind, Chen Gong gave up the plan of finding an inconspicuous inn or a courtyard, and asked someone to inquire about the famous people in this Wancheng, so he took the majestic sea and Zhou Cang, and swaggered towards the most prosperous street in Wancheng.

It took three days, Chen Gong can be regarded as beating out Chen Yu's fame, for the peddlers and pawns in Wancheng, there is no change, but for the upper circle of Wancheng, they basically know that a famous man from Xuzhou has come recently, Sheyang Chen Boshu, the family was slaughtered by Sun Ce, with family wealth, these days almost all over Wancheng wealth, it seems that they want to settle in Wancheng and rebuild the Chen family.

In Wancheng, the old house of a down-and-out scholar was recruited with great fanfare in the past two days, Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu heard the report of the city gate official, paid attention to it, and after asking a few wealthy families, they no longer paid attention to it.

Recently, Cao Cao dealt with Yuan Shu in Runan, and the victory has been clear, both Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu are very clear, after sweeping Yuan Shu, the next target, I'm afraid it will be Nanyang, whether it is a battle or a surrender, it depends on Cao Cao's attitude, but the preparations must be made, otherwise if Cao Cao comes to the city by then, there is no preparation at all, but it will be over.

As for one more celebrity, whether it is Zhang Xiu or Jia Xu, they didn't pay too much attention to these, Chen Gong even came to visit Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu, but both of them were too busy during this time and shirked it, but for the timing of Chen Gong's arrival, Jia Xu had some doubts, and sent someone to inquire about the affairs of Xuzhou, and found that it was indeed as Chen Gong said, so he didn't pay attention to it, except for Cao Cao, in fact, he was more worried about Lu Bu.

Wancheng, too guarded mansion.

"Mr. Wenhe is here." Hu Che'er, who was discussing military affairs with Zhang Xiu, saw Jia Xu, quickly stood up, bowed down and smiled.

"My lord, General Hu." Jia Xu smiled and nodded to the two, knelt on the seat next to him, looked at Zhang Xiu and said, "My lord, has there been any news from Lu Bu recently?" ”

"Not really." Zhang Xiu said worriedly: "Sir, it is not a way for the people sent by Lu Bu to be imprisoned that day, then Lu Bu and I have never intersected, if you count it, it was also a robe in the past, he wants to borrow the road to lend him it, it's a big deal, we close the city gate, and then fund him some grain and grass, why set up this strong enemy for no reason?" ”

"It's too naΓ―ve for adults to think." Jia Xu shook his head and said: "Lu Bu, tiger wolf, looking at this period of time, passing through Guangling, Lujiang, Runan, these three places have the opportunity to gain a foothold, but they do not stay, in the past, I am afraid it is biased, this person is very ambitious, and quite decisive, if he is allowed to pass here, he will become a danger to the henchmen of adults one day." ”

"What's the explanation?" Zhang Xiu looked at Jia Xu puzzled, what does this matter to him?

"Your Excellency!" Jia Xu looked at Zhang Xiu with a wry smile, he didn't know how to explain it, he could see the purpose of Lu Bu's trip, and he could see that Lu Bu really liked Guanzhong because the Guanzhong family withered, that is to say, this person not only knew what he needed, but also could see himself, and he didn't have to seek a moment in Runan, Lujiang and other places.

Taking a step back, even if Zhang Xiu chooses to surrender to Cao, if he can trap Lu Bu here, he will also be a great achievement, and he will be able to eliminate some of the barriers between him and Cao Cao, in Jia Xu's view, the battle of Runan will end soon, and when the time comes, Cao Cao will inevitably solve the misfortune of Wancheng, and when the time comes, if Zhang Xiu chooses to resist, this Lu Bu will also be a big help, which is why he detained Lu Bu's people, but did not harm them, but hospitalized them.

Just looking at Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu didn't know what to say, about Lu Bu's matter, he almost thought of all possibilities, but in recent days, he suddenly lost Lu Bu's trace, which made Jia Xu feel that things were a little out of control.

"If you can trust it, you will allocate some men to it." In the end, Jia Xu could only say this.

"Sir's words are serious, General Hu, mobilize a battalion of men and horses for Mr. Wenhe, and wait for Mr. Wenhe's dispatch." Zhang Xiu hurriedly smiled.

"Thank you, sir." Jia Xu is a little helpless, Zhang Xiu is willing to listen to people, and can trust himself unreservedly, for a strategist, such a lord, it is difficult to find a lantern, the only pity is that there is no ambition, there is such a prosperous place as Nanyang, but there is no courage to swallow the world, which is regrettable, but it is precisely because of this that Jia Xu dares to assist without reservation, if Zhang Xiu really has such a great ability, with Jia Xu's temperament, it is estimated that he will choose a more stable road.
