In the third year of Jian'an, February 11.

This day, the sun is shining.

In the north of Wancheng City, on the avenue from north to south, there are many teams walking. Most of them were caravans, wagons, and strong guards.

Secondly, there are some nearby villagers, carrying flat burdens, and selling goods into the city.

However, there are some outliers.

For example, one of the teams had two wagons, but this wagon was not a baggage cart loaded with goods, but a chariot for scholars to travel.

In addition, near the carriage, there were dozens of guards.

These guards, all of whom are burly and powerful men with sharp eyes, are obviously not ordinary.

This team is the team of Guo Tu, a strategist under Yuan Shao.

After a long journey, they finally arrived at Wancheng, Nanyang County, Jingzhou, from far away Hebei.

The team continued walking for a while before stopping at the side of the road. A short time later, two men walked down from the two carriages. One of them is slender, handsome, and has an excellent temperament, which is Guo Tu.

The other person has an extraordinary appearance, especially a soft face, which gives people an extremely weak and harmless feeling.

This person's surname is Ouyang, a famous student, the word and uncle, a famous man in Hebei, and a talented debater.

is Guo Tu's best friend.

This time he went south, Guo Tu's discord was divided into two parts, respectively, aimed at the expansion of Chen Sheng's power and provoked Zhang Xiu's suspicions. And, Chen Sheng's power swelled, provoking Chen Sheng's ambitions.

This needs to be done by two people separately. Therefore, Guo Tu invited his friend Ouyang Sheng to come with him.

"This time, there is still a long way to go." After getting out of the carriage, Ouyang Sheng said with a slight solemnity.

Although Ouyang Sheng has eloquence talents, it is also the first time to be this kind of lobbyist, so he feels dignified.

"No, no." Guo Tu shook his head with a smile when he heard this, and then said: "You and I are famous people in Hebei, and now we are going south to lobby Zhang Xiu, Chen Sheng and other martial artists, and they should be able to capture them." ”

"Yes. You and I went out together, so I can't believe it, Zhang Xiu suspects Chen Sheng, and Chen Sheng's ambition is inflated. Ouyang Sheng was a little dignified, but after listening to Guo Tu's words, he was relieved and said with a smile.

"Hahaha." Guo Tu laughed when he heard this.

The faces of both of them have the pride of being a famous man in Hebei and a wise man.

"Okay, let's break up here, take one or two people with us, and go to Wancheng and Guangcheng respectively. You went to Wancheng to find Zhang Xiu, and I went to Guangcheng to find Chen Sheng. ”

Guo Tu said.

"Okay."

Ouyang Sheng nodded and said.

Immediately, Guo Tu and Ouyang Sheng led one or two people with their entourage, rode their horses to Guangcheng, and went to Wancheng.

Because Guangcheng is far away, and Wancheng is close at hand, Ouyang Sheng arrived first.

"It's a fortified city." Ouyang Sheng rode his horse and stood up, looking at the city not far ahead, and suddenly let out a sigh of admiration.

It's a pity that the people who occupy such a city are really not very talented.

With a little contempt for Zhang Xiu in his heart, Ouyang Sheng rode his horse into the city.

Putting aside the prosperity inside the city for the time being, Ouyang Sheng directly led his entourage and arrived outside the gate of General Jianzhong's mansion.

"Who dares to linger in front of the General's Palace." Ouyang Sheng rode over, which immediately attracted the attention of the guards guarding the door, and he couldn't help but scold.

"I want to meet General Jianzhong, and I also ask the sergeant to introduce him on my behalf." Ouyang Sheng turned over and dismounted, and said.

With a soft face and a gentle demeanor, Ouyang Sheng at this moment is undoubtedly favorable.

This made the guard of the gate guard go a little bit. It's just that the guards won't go in at will to report it, and said: "General Jianzhong, it's not like you can see it if you want to." Unless you're a Baume & Mercier, or you're a man of great courage. ”

"I am neither a celebrity nor a warrior." Ouyang Sheng said with a smile and raised his fist.

"So what are you doing here?" The guards didn't have a good air.

"General Jianzhong's catastrophe is coming, I'm here to mention it." Ouyang Sheng restrained his smile and said solemnly.

"Presumptuous."

"How dare you curse our general?"

Suddenly, the guards were furious and cursed one after another. If it weren't for the harsh military law, I'm afraid they would have rushed forward at this time and stabbed Ouyang Sheng to death.

"I heard that Cao Ying was about to have a catastrophe, but he didn't listen to your General Chen Sheng's words, which led to a great defeat. Do you also want your general to be defeated? In this regard, Ouyang Sheng was extremely calm and said with a smile.

Suddenly, the guards in front of the door became arrogant and suspicious.

Chen Sheng's fortune and persuasion of Cao Ying are very famous in Wancheng.

If you don't listen to people, it will lead to a big defeat.

Haven't you become a sinner for the ages?

The guards pondered for a moment and actually believed Ouyang Sheng's words.

"Wait a minute." The guard said to Ouyang Sheng very respectfully, then turned around and walked in, hurriedly going in to report.

"Huh."

Ouyang Sheng had a smile on his face.

Today, I said that I took advantage of Chen Sheng's lobbying of Cao Ying to enter the gate of General Jianzhong's mansion. Come and say, Chen Sheng, Zhang Xiuhuo, Chen Sheng was killed, it's really a great consummation.

At this moment, Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu were discussing things in the general's mansion and hall.

Spring.

Regardless of the force, spring plowing is very important. Even the Zhang Xiu forces are the same. And the only one who can handle Zhang Xiu's forces is naturally Jia Xu.

The two had been talking for an hour, and the negotiations were finally over.

"These trivial things are really a headache." After finishing, Zhang Xiu only felt a headache, couldn't help rubbing his temples, and said.

"Spring ploughing matters are related to grain production, so we have to be cautious." Jia Xu said when he heard this.

"Hmm." Zhang Xiu reluctantly cheered up, and hummed, indicating that he understood.

"Da-da-da-da."

At that moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and then a soldier entered, and it was the guard who guarded the door.

"What?" Zhang Xiu asked when he saw this.

"Back to the general, there is a person outside the door who asks to see him, claiming that the general is in trouble." The guard replied.

"Huh?" Jia Xu was very surprised when he heard this, and raised his head.

"In this period, Ziwei defeated Jiang Guang to the west and defeated Liu Bi to the east, and my power has increased greatly, and the good ones can't be better. Where did the madman come from, dare to say that I am in trouble? Beat out the sticks. Zhang Xiu was furious when she heard this, and said.

When the guard heard this mess stick hit out, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "But general, that person said that General Chen Sheng failed to persuade Cao Ying, but was beaten by Cao Ying's stick." Therefore, Cao Ying was defeated. ”

"Ugh." Suddenly, the anger in Zhang Xiu's heart dissipated, and then a wave of surprise rose.

Ziwei persuaded Cao Ying.

Thinking of this result, Zhang Xiu suddenly shuddered. After that, Zhang Xiu quickly changed his attitude, raised his hand and said: "Quick, please, good life." ”

"No."

The soldier said yes, turned and walked out.

"What is wrong with me?" After the soldier walked out, Zhang Xiu's heart still couldn't calm down, and he was very worried.

There's no way, Cao Ying's experience from the past.

Jia Xu narrowed his eyes, his eyes flickering, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
