Chapter 373 Jia Wen and the secret words are cloudy, and Fa Xiao speaks the old things directly

The county seat of Ba County, called Jiangzhou City, is a city on the shore of a waterfront in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and is one of the largest cities in Ba County.

There is also a city called Fuling in the lower reaches of Jiangzhou.

Fuling is a small city under Ba County, the city is more than ten miles in radius, the people are about 30,000 or 40,000 people, 5,000 soldiers, and the leader is Zhang Xiu's general Hu Chi.

Dispatched by Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu led more than 15,000 of his subordinates to be stationed in Ba County.

On the bright side, Zhang Xiu was already convinced by Cao Cao and obeyed his words. Actually? He has never been able to forget his uncle's hatred, and he has always wanted to get rid of Dian Wei, the general under Cao Cao, and avenge his uncle!

However, Cao Cao has passed away, and Dian Wei is old, although he can still fight, he is far less than before!

Cao Ang ascended the throne, vigorously appeased Zhang Xiu, Yan Yan and others, and strengthened the monitoring of their families, so that the generals had to work for him.

After all, it was the second line of defense into Sichuan, and Zhang Xiu had nothing to do, so he and his strategist Jia Xu went to Fuling to play.

They also heard about the changes in Koto.

Zhang Xiu asked Jia Xu for advice: "Mr. Wenhe, Sun Quan, the lord of Jiangdong Wu, has such a far-reaching arrangement, but it is admirable!" But I don't know, why did he abandon the Confucian general Lu Xun? ”

"Lu Xun has made great achievements as a young man, conquered Jiangdong Miao Village, made many contributions, and really won the love of Lord Wu! However, the Jiangdong Lu clan has always been a thorn in Wu Hou's eyes, and he has to go! Jia Xu replied.

Hearing him say this, Zhang Xiu's heart suddenly brightened.

Jiangdong Zhujia gate valves, with the Wu family and the Lu family as the prosperity.

The rest of the families are far from being like this, so it is naturally impossible for the Wu clan gatekeeper, who is the monarch, to allow a Lu clan gate valve who can be compared to himself to be on his side.

However, located in Jiangdong, the world was in turmoil, and Wu Hou had to use the power of the Lu clan to confront the Han Dynasty.

This is the reason why Lu Xun was defeated in Qu'a but did not receive any punishment!

Sun's gate valve crossed east to the sea and abandoned the Lu gate valve, which actually pulled out this thorn!

It's really a layout that kills two birds with one stone.

"Sun Zhongmou really deserves to be a generation of heroes, and his actions are decisive and admirable!" Zhang Xiu said sincerely.

Looking at the general in front of him, who was over forty years old, Jia Xu thought of the young man who galloped on the field and was full of sharp energy, and he felt quite emotional, so he said: "Twenty years ago, the lord galloped across the field with his uncle, righteous and heroic, what a hero? However, the creation makes people, the lord thinks about it, and he can't do anything! Sun Zhongmou took over the inheritance from his father and brother, but he did not enter the film, and he was really limited by Liu Xuande! He secretly sent his subordinates to cross eastward, but in fact, he was troubled by the heart of an overlord! And the lord has no intention of hegemony! ”

The implication is that although Zhang Xiu was very heroic on the battlefield when he was a teenager, he left a lot of heroic deeds; But because of the creation of people, he didn't follow the right monarch, and in the end he didn't do anything well! Sun Quan took over the inheritance left by his father and brother, although he did not establish any merits because of Liu Bei's restrictions, but he had a heart of a tyrant to support and found a place where he could dominate.

"Yes! Sir is right! More than 20 years have passed, and the foundation left by my uncle is long gone, but there are still more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, but he has become a thug for others! Ay! When will this life end? Zhang Xiu said with emotion.

The look in Jia Xu's eyes flashed, and he smiled secretly and did not answer.

At this time, Jia Xu saw Zhang Xiu's helplessness and knew what he wanted in his heart.

However, the Central Plains has been decided, and Jiangnan has returned, leaving only Xichuan.

What will happen to Cao Ang?

The jury is still out on it.

In order to completely solve his worries, Cao Ang sent Sima Yi to lead the army south to conquer the barbarians, leaving only Deng Ai, the general of Gouba, to garrison the valley.

Han Sui guarded Tianshui, resisting the Xiliang soldiers and horses led by Ma Xiu and Ma Chao brothers, and did not dare to relax at all.

There are few soldiers in Shu, and there is not enough food and grass.

That's the status quo.

Thinking of this, Jia Xu's heart moved, but he shook his head again.

Shaking his head, Zhang Xiu asked puzzledly, "Why did Mr. shake his head?" ”

Hearing his inquiry, Jia Xu looked up at him and asked rhetorically, "Lord, the current situation is favorable to Liu Ye?" Beneficial to Cao Ye? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses and said: "Cao Ang pretended to do the Son of Heaven, although it is contrary to the principles of heaven, but he controls the military power in Sichuan, and it should not be underestimated!" If you talk about the world today, Liu Xuande has won ninety percent of the world, but it is difficult to attack Sichuan! ”

"The lord thinks that Badong Yan Yan and Zhang Ren are really subject to Cao Angye?" Jia Xu looked at the east, with an intriguing look on his face.

"Could it be that they ......" Just as he was about to ask, Hu Chi's figure appeared not far away, interrupting Zhang Xiu's questioning.

"Lord Qiqi, Badong Zhang Ren and others have been found on the horse road east of the city!" Hu Chi hurried to Zhang Xiu.

Whoever it says comes!

This guy is really chattering!

Zhang Xiu smiled, and then said to Jia Xu: "Sir, what a clever calculation!" It seems that they are really restless! ”

"I heard that Zhang Ren is a strong martial artist, and he is indeed a famous general." Jia Xu responded.

Zhang Xiu asked, "General Hu, how many people are there in Zhang Yi's party?" ”

"Hui Lord, there are more than 20 people in the group, in addition to Zhang Xiu, there is also a scribe!" Hu Chi replied.

Zhang Xiu took everyone back to Fuling and received a greeting from the post station.

After opening the post, Zhang Xiu read it, handed it to Jia Xu, and said, "What is the opinion of Mr.?" ”

After taking the post and reading it carefully, Jia Xu replied: "I'm afraid that there is nothing to do but go to the palace, and everyone who comes is interested!" Let's wait until they talk about it later! What is the Lord's will? ”

Jia Xu has always done things without leakage!

That's because he was very careful, very cautious!

No matter what, he has to plan and then act!

Following Jia Xu's advice, Zhang Xiu sent someone to send a reply and asked Zhang Ren to meet the next day.

The sender took the reply and handed it to Zhang Ren after he returned.

After reading the reply, Zhang Ren found Fa Zheng and said, "Zhang Xiu agreed to meet tomorrow." ”

"Good!" Fa said expressionlessly.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhang Ren asked: "Zhang Xiu has been stationed in Ba County for a long time, and I am waiting to come here rashly, but he didn't say a word!" Is filial piety undoubted? ”

"Zhang Xiu has a poisonous warrior next to Zhang Xiu who is not weaker than Wolong and Fengxiao, if you can't even guess that you and I are coming, then it's strange?" Fa Zheng laughed.

"Poisoner Jia Xu?" Zhang Ren didn't know much about Jia Xu.

Fa Zheng said: "Jia Xu, Ziwen He, the former strategist under Li Wei. After Dong Zhuo was eliminated by Lü Bu, the Xiliang warlords were divided into four and ruled by Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Tong and Zhang Ji. At the beginning, the four of them panicked and wanted to abandon their soldiers and horses and flee, but they were blocked by Jia Xu, which led to the later chaos of the four thieves! ”

"So it's him?!" Zhang Ren naturally heard about this matter, and then he remembered this Jia Xulai.

Fa Zheng continued: "This person has great insight and extraordinary wisdom. Later, seeing that Li Dao, Guo Yan and others couldn't do anything, they attached themselves to Zhang Ji's side, making Zhang Ji the final winner among the four! However, Zhang Ji died in battle, and he asked Zhang Xiu to surrender to Cao Cao. ”

The two had nothing to do, and discussed Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu for a long time.

The next day, Zhang Ren wore ivory hair on his head, a purple brocade robe with blue edges, a pair of carved silver wristbands tightly tied to the cuffs, a five-inch-wide gold-inlaid belt around his waist tightly tied the robe, and a gold-carved sword hanging from his right hand.

Look at Fa Zheng on the side, dressed in a blue brocade robe, wearing a square scarf on his head, tied with a belt around his waist, with those two mustaches, slightly bent over, just like a humble scribe.

The guards in front of the gate of Fuling City saw the two of them, stepped forward to stop them, and shouted, "Who is coming?" Is there a prayer post? ”

Fa Zheng handed the reply in his hand to the man.

The man apologized, and then sent someone to take the two of them in to see Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu, Hu Chi and others were all in the side hall of the mansion.

Seeing the two of them coming in, Zhang Xiu got up to greet him and said loudly: "I heard that Zizhong was coming, and Xiu was very pleased!" It coincides with the embroidery recently playing in Fuling, and it is also providence to see you here! ”

"Zirong is polite!" Zhang Ren returned the salute and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

In fact, Yu Li and Zhang Xiu are the governors of soldiers and horses. Zhang Ren should be a subordinate gift!

However, Zhang Ren refused to accept him, if he did this ceremony, he would be a weaker Yan Yan's identity. Because he came on behalf of Yan Yan, then he is Yan Yan's identity.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Xiu's face changed slightly, and he asked, "But I don't know the name of this wise man?" ”

"This is the counselor of our army, the law is upright, and the law is filial piety. Dare to ask Zirong, is this old gentleman behind him the world-famous Jia Xu Jia Wenhe? Zhang Ren asked.

"It's the old man!" Jia Xu stepped forward to greet the two.

Zhang Xiu introduced Hu Chi to the two of them, and invited them to take a seat.

After a moment of greetings, Zhang Ren said: "I have heard for a long time that Zirong is strong in martial arts, excellent marksmanship, and the gun king of the north is famous all over the world, I don't know if I will be lucky enough to see one or two?" ”

Hearing this at first glance, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but be stunned!

Why is this guy so reckless?

He was puzzled, looked back at Jia Xu, saw Jia Xu nodding slightly, and glanced at Zhang Ren with his eyes, so he said: "Zizhong praises." Xiu also heard that the public also has the reputation of the king of Xichuan guns, why don't you and me have a competition? ”

This remark was in Zhang Ren's arms, and he laughed heartily and said: "A certain is exactly what it means!" Don't delay, quickly find a venue, you and I have a competition! ”

Zhang Xiu nodded at Hu Chi, and then said to Zhang Ren: "Brother Tai, please come with me." ”

With that, he got up and walked outside.

Everyone followed Zhang Xiu to the teaching military field.

Hu Chi had already arranged for the soldiers to bring Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren's war horses and stand in the center of the field, each holding a spear in their hands. This spear did not belong to the two of them, but to the ordinary spears used by the soldiers in the army.

Seeing that Zhang Xiu was about to stop, Zhang Ren made a gesture of invitation and said, "Zirong, you are the master, you invite first!" Guests are as they please! ”

"Good! Please! Zhang Xiu was not a mother-in-law, so she strode into the field.

Zhang Ren followed.

The two took the guns from the soldier's hands and turned on their horses.

Zhang Yiyi shook the spear in his hand, pulled out twelve spear flowers, and said, "This spear is very flexible!" ”

Seeing that Zhang Yi shot twelve spear flowers, Zhang Xiu did not show weakness, and also shook out twelve spear flowers. But I heard him say: "A certain life loves guns, and most of the soldiers under his command are mainly spearmen, and all the handles of guns are personally selected!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Ren's heart couldn't help but move, and he said casually: "I've been taught!" ”
