Chapter 32 The prelude to the Battle of Xuchang begins!

When Cao Ying attacked Xuzhou, what was Jiang Zhe doing?

Oh, he's accusing Li Ru, or rather, he's confronting Li Ru......

"What?" Jiang Zhe glared, pointed at Li Ru who was standing in front of him and said, "Xianzhang, you threaten those people? ”

Li Ru shook his head, looked at Jiang Zhe Zhengse and said, "Sir, if I don't bring them back to Xuchang, then it won't be a threat, as soon as Lu Bu arrives, if there is no food in the army, in order to harvest rice and grain, Mr. thinks those people can live?" Now they're a little frightened, but they're still alive, aren't they? ”

"You ......" Jiang Zhe said in a hurry, if Lu Bu's army really ran out of food, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not do anything to kill people and take food, but ......

"Then can't you just talk to them?"

When Li Ru heard this, he was immediately happy, shook his head and smiled, "Sir, you said that I was a threat in the first place?" I have also tried to persuade them, but if they don't listen, what can I do? I had to ask the soldiers to expel him from ......"

"Eviction, expulsion?" Jiang Zhe's face changed slightly.

"No, no, I just ordered the sergeant to pull out his sword and show it, and then said to them gently, 'If you don't wait to move to Xuchang, there may be big trouble,' and they came with me...... W-Isn't that a threat? ”

"Don't learn from me!" Jiang Zhe said angrily, Cao Ren is like this, Brother Xiahou is like this, and even you are like this! Is what I'm saying that funny? Is it worth learning from me one by one?

"If you have time to blame me, sir, you might as well think about how to settle these people who have just moved into Xuchang City......" Li Ru said with a smile.

"It's not you yet! Still laughing! Jiang Zhe tilted his head and sat down in his seat, frowned and said, "How many people are there?" ”

"Well...... Thirty or forty thousand, ......"

"Holy!" Jiang Zhe scolded secretly, now the housing in Xuchang is more tense than Shanghai in later generations, not to mention the west of the city, which has become a 'commercial district', even the east of the city is also overcrowded, and in ancient times, unlike later generations, they all lived in high-rise residences!

"Uh......" Jiang Zhe snorted and said to Li Ru, "Look at this, let the newly moved people temporarily live in the houses of residents in the city for a while, and then we will step up to build a batch of simple houses for them to live in......"

"It's just that after Lu Bu retreats, I've burned all the trees nearby......"

Secretly glancing at Li Ru, Jiang Zhe hesitated and said, "In this way, I'll wait for the surname to compensate the local residents with some money and food, and let them take in the newly moved people, and then we will ...... Until Lu Bu retreats! ”

"Yes! This method is feasible, and in less than two months, the tax can be compared to the tax for half a year last year......"

"Of course!" Jiang Zhe smiled.

"Then ......" Li Ru showed a helpless smile on his face, hitting Jiang Zhe's self-confidence, "Does that gentleman have a plan to retreat Lu Bu's soldiers and horses?" ”

"Nope!" Jiang Zhe said calmly, looked at the roof, sighed and said, "Let's take one step at a time!" ”

"......" Li Ru glanced at Jiang Zhe deeply, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then said with a straight face, "I should do my best to help Mr. ......"

"Huh?" Listening to Li Ru's words, Jiang Zhe suddenly felt a little inexplicable, and was about to speak, when suddenly a herald hurriedly ran in, "Urgent!" My lord! Lu Bu led his army only twenty miles away from Xuchang! ”

Jiang Zhe took a deep breath, put everything aside, straightened his clothes, and said lightly, "Go!" Xianzhang, let's meet Lu Bu! ”

"I ...... I'm going too? Li Ru's face was hesitant, and he seemed a little reluctant to go to the city gate with Jiang Zhe.

Also, Li Ru is now under the pseudonyms Li Xian and Li Xianzhang, and he holds a position under Jiang Zhe, although it can be regarded as doing things for Cao Ying, but he does not take Cao Yingyue, he can only be said to contribute to Jiang Zhe.

Every time he urged Jiang Zhe to devote himself to government affairs, or chatted with Jiang Zhe, Jiang Zhe's thinking and knowledge beyond ordinary people made Li Ru feel refreshed.

In addition, although Li Ru volunteered to be a guest under Jiang Zhe, Jiang Zhe only regarded him as a friend, and also gave Li Ru military power a few days ago, all of which made Li Ru determined to give up everything before.

It's just that now that Lu Bu is here, this is a little troublesome, Jiang Zhe has never seen Li Ru, so Lu Bu is often seen, if Lu Bu recognizes Li Ru, what kind of reaction will Jiang Zhe have?

This is exactly what Li Ru is worried about......

"Sir, let me change my clothes......"

"Oh, that's right, the weather outside is getting colder and colder now......" Jiang Zhe complained while agreeing, and then seemed to remember something, and said, "Wear more, don't feel it...... Don't get sick! I also have to go home, so let's go together, well, let's go faster. ”

Originally, Cao Ying wanted to give Jiang Zhe a carriage, and the carriage was very good, but Jiang Zhe suddenly thought that raising a horse and hiring a groom would make the price unbelievable......

So Jiang Zhe said to Cao Ying, "Meng De, your good intentions have been understood...... Why don't you convert the carriage into money and food with me......"

Cao Ying choked up and didn't come up, and in the end, the matter was settled.

So the two walked to Jiang Zhe's mansion, not far from the Xuchang Thorn Mansion, which was specially given to Jiang Zhe by Cao Ying, and was named: "Close to me!" ”

"I'm back!" Jiang Zhe's servants and the like in the mansion, it's not that Cao Ying doesn't agree, but Jiang Zhe always feels wrong, looking at the groveling appearance of those subordinates, Jiang Zhe has a wordless sour feeling in his heart. So now in a huge Jiang Mansion, there is only one old man guarding the door, or Jiang Zhe saw that he actually had nowhere to go......

As usual, Jiang Zhe smiled and nodded to the old man Wang who opened the door, and then shouted, "I'm back!" ”

Li Ru shook his head and went back to his house, he had seen this kind of scene too much......

"Husband is back?" In the hall, Xiu'er seemed to be making clothes for Jiang Zhe with a needle and thread, and Cai Yan sat next to her and watched quietly, seeing Jiang Zhe coming back, she blushed slightly, but she didn't lower her head as usual, just looked at Jiang Zhe a little shyly.

"Well, I'll come back when I have something, and I'll go out later."

Hey, why didn't Zhao Ji play with the piano today? Jiang Zhe was a little strange, walked over and said, "Zhaoji, don't play the piano today?" ”

“…… The husband is disgusted...... Dislike the concubine and can't do housework? Cai Yan's eyes were red, and tears came as soon as he said it.

Obediently, it's terrible, Jiang Zhe hurriedly flattered, "No, no, where do I mean that, I mean...... You play the piano very well, I love listening to ......it."

"Really?" Cai Yan raised his head and looked at Jiang Zhe with teary eyes.

"When...... Of course it's true......" Cai Yan's eyes were joyful and shy, and there was also a little resentment against Jiang Zhe for not marrying her for a long time, which suddenly made Jiang Zhe a little unbearable.

"After the concubine's body, she said that she would listen to her husband ......"

"Good...... Good ......"

Xiu'er pouted, watching Fang Cai Jiang Zhe wipe away Cai Yan's tears, in the past, it was a strong love from her husband that only she could enjoy......

But no matter what, she is her husband's wife, Xiu'er smiled in her heart, and said to Jiang Zhe, "Husband, you just said that you have something to come back?" What is it? ”

"Oh!" Jiang Zhe suddenly remembered the purpose of this trip, and said to the two daughters, especially Xiu'er, "Lu Bu is here to attack Xuchang, and your husband is now waiting for the position of Meng De's assassination, and his responsibilities are ......."

"Feng ......" Xiu'er was shocked in her heart, and then suddenly found that her words were wrong, and quickly changed her words and said, "Lu Feng came to attack Xuchang first?" ”

Looking at Xiu'er's ashamed eyes, Jiang Zhe gently stroked her hair and said, "Well, so you stay at home obediently, you know?" ”

Xiu'er felt the love of her husband, but when she thought of Na Lu Bu in her heart, her face changed, and she said, "The concubine will go with her husband!" ”

"No way!" Jiang Zhe frowned and said, "You stay and take care of Zhao Ji, you can do it...... Be a sister's ......"

One sentence made the two daughters have different expressions, Xiu'er pouted, obviously a little dissatisfied, Cai Yan's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she secretly glanced at Jiang Zhe and lowered her head.

"Let's let the concubine go with her husband, the concubine is worried about ......"

"Disobedient?" Jiang Zhe made a tiger face, remembered the past in Xuzhou before, and warned in advance, "If you dare to be disobedient, see how I clean you up when I come back!" As he spoke, Jiang Zhe deliberately raised his right hand.

Xiu'er's face suddenly turned crimson, and she secretly said with disgust, this bad guy, someone is here!

In desperation, Xiu'er had no choice but to say, "That husband should be careful and leave more guards by his side......"

"Good!"

"Hmm...... Remember not to go into battle in person, Fujun is now an important town in Xuchang, don't be as ...... as when you fought the Yellow Turban with Xuzhou"

"Eun!"

"And ...... It's windy outside, and the concubine sewed a long gown for her husband, so let's put it on and go again......"

"Well...... Anything else? ”

“…… The husband is nagging for a concubine? Xiu'er held the freshly made shirt and looked at Jiang Zhe aggrievedly.

Smiling and shaking his head, Jiang Zhe hugged Xiu'er in his arms, "Xiu'er, take care of the house, if the situation is urgent, maybe I won't be able to come back for several days......"

Xiu'er closed her eyes and tore in Jiang Zhe's arms, and said softly, "Husband, don't worry, the concubine is ...... The concubine and her sister waited for her husband to come back......" then opened her eyes, looked at Jiang Zhe and smiled slightly, slowly closed her eyes, and raised her head......

Yikes! Cai Yan's face turned red, and he hurriedly covered his eyes, but there was still a slight gap between his fingers.

Xiu'er gasped slightly, pursed her red lips, and gently pushed Jiang Zhe generously, looking at Cai Yan.

This one...... This one......

Jiang Zhe walked to Cai Yan's side with his head disturbed, and looked at Cai Yan who was biting his lip and covering his eyes, and seemed a little embarrassed.

Kindness! Listen to your wife and have food! Jiang Zhe took a deep breath and kissed Cai Yan's face hard.

"Hmm......" Cai Yan's exclamation was suddenly eaten by Jiang Zhe.

"Then I'm leaving!" Looking at Xiu'er's strange smile, Jiang Zhe hurried away in embarrassment, Xiu'er's lips were cold, and Zhaoji's lips were a little sweet...... Ahem!

"Husband, clothes!" Xiu'er hurriedly caught up, gently put on the clothes for Jiang Zhe, and then tapped her chest with her slender fingers, and then tapped Jiang Zhe's chest again.

She taught her this by herself...... Jiang Zhe's heart was warm, and Cai Yan next to him whispered faintly, "Husband, don't miss home, concubine and sister wait for husband ......to come back."

Jiang Zhe was arrogant all his life, nodded and strode out, "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold...... Ahh ”
