Chapter 142: The Mystery of the Path

Wang Chong and Tai Shici entered the lobby, and the first thing that caught their eyes was Zhang Xiu, who was sitting on the main seat.

Zhang Xiunian is about thirty-five or six, the long Kong Wu is powerful, it is said that when he was a teenager, he had a tiger head golden gun in the north to kill the Quartet, and was given the title of "the king of guns in the north" by the local people, in the previous life of the folk commentary, he was called the big disciple of the gun prodigy Yuan, Zhao Yun's elder brother, one hand "a hundred birds towards the phoenix gun" made the gods, there is the courage of ten thousand invincibles.

Wang Chong didn't know if Zhang Xiu's marksmanship was as mysterious as rumored, if it was really so good, he really wanted to see it.

At first glance, it doesn't seem to be anything special, but it's such an ordinary-looking old guy, but it gives Wang Chong a creepy strong sense of crisis, no special reason, just because this person is full of scheming and unsparing 'poison' Jia Xu, it is enough to make Wang Chong a hundred times more wary of him.

"General Annan is engaged in Zhang Ling, and I have seen General Jianzhong!"

Wang Chong didn't dare to reveal his true identity in front of Jia Xu, because it was a very dangerous thing, so he temporarily pretended to be the name of the dead Zhang Ling, which was also a way back for him, but unfortunately, he still underestimated Jia Xu.

"Are you sure your name is Zhang Ling, not Wang Chong?" A plain but old voice came from one side, causing a dense layer of cold sweat to ooze from Wang Chong's back instantly, but fortunately, with the cover of camouflage skills, he would not lose his temper in front of Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu.

"This must be Mr. Wenhe, right?" Wang Chong turned sideways and hugged his fist at Jia Xu, and said with a smile, "I just don't know why Mr. Wenhe recognized Ling as my father-in-law?" ”

The corners of Jia Xu's mouth squeezed out a stiff smile: "Oh, it's nothing, it's just a casual question!" ”

"This old fox!" Wang Chong scolded secretly in his heart, but on the surface, his face did not change, "I see, but then again, my lord really wants to come to Wancheng to visit General Zhang and Mr. Wenhe in person, but it's a pity that Huainan is busy with affairs and can't get away for a while, no, before Ling set off, my lord also specially explained to Ling, after arriving in Wancheng, he must convey his apologies to General Zhang and Mr. Wenhe!" ”

Wang Chong's words gave Zhang Xiu enough face, Zhang Xiu's impression of Wang Chong in his heart was suddenly very good, and he waved his hand and said heartily: "Eh, General Annan is too polite, if you really want to talk about this matter, it should be that you will go to Huainan to visit General Annan, today Zhang Zhi came from afar, please take a seat quickly!" ”

"Thank you, General!" Wang Chong was not polite to Zhang Xiu, and came directly to Jia Xu and sat down, while Tai Shici was like a stone Buddha, still protecting Wang Chong with an expressionless face.

After Wang Chong sat down, Zhang Xiu opened his mouth and asked, "This time, General Annan sent Zhang Zhi to visit my Wancheng, I don't know what happened?" ”

Wang Chong smiled and said, "My lord calculated that the general would be in great trouble soon, so he sent Ling to help the general!" ”

Zhang Xiu's face stiffened when she heard this, but she didn't get angry: "Please also ask Zhang to advise!" ”

Wang Chong pretended to be surprised: "Hasn't the general received the news yet?" Cao Cao had personally led an army of 50,000 to conquer Wancheng at this time, and the day after tomorrow at the latest, Cao's army would come to the city! ”

Zhang Xiu's color changed: "Zhang is doing this seriously!?" ”

Wang Chong nodded and said, "It's true! ”

Wang Chong's words are not to coax Zhang Xiu, this news, he also inadvertently learned from a caravan from Yingchuan County south, after careful analysis, Wang Chong does not think that the news is fake, although the specific time is not clear, but Wang Chong remembered that in history, Cao Cao did send troops to recruit Zhang Xiu before the battle of Guandu, but before the battle started, Zhang Xiu followed Jia Xu's proposal to take refuge in Cao Cao.

And at this moment, Wang Chong's words had just fallen, and a soldier outside the door coincidentally rushed in: "Lord Qi, there is an urgent military situation in the northeast!" ”

Zhang Xiuhuo Ran stood up from his position, and his uneasiness became more and more intense: "Come on!" ”

The soldier said: "Back to the lord, Cao Cao has led an army of 50,000 to Yexian, look at its movements, its target should be my Wancheng!" ”

"It's true!?" Zhang Xiuru was struck by lightning, and the whole person fell back to his position in a daze, and looked at Jia Xu with blank eyes, "Wenhe, now that Cao Cao's army is pressing, what should I do?" ”

Jia Xu's eyes inadvertently glanced at Wang Chong, and replied lightly: "The matter has come to this, is the lord still unwilling to surrender to Cao?" ”

"This ......"

Wang Chong looked at Jia Xu coldly: "Mr. Wenhe, do you want to put General Zhang to death?" ”

Jia Xu drooped his eyelids, and the cloudy pupils were filled with cold light: "What does Zhang mean by this?" ”

Wang Chong did not answer Jia Xu's question, but instead faced Zhang Xiu and asked with a smile: "Dare to ask the general, how did Mr. Wenhe persuade the general to surrender to Cao before?" ”

Zhang Xiu saw that Wang Chong and Jia Xu were quite competitive, and he didn't think much about it, so he repeated Jia Xu's previous remarks to Wang Chong, after all, deep down, he actually wanted to see if there were really any loopholes in Jia Xu's words.

"Hah!" As soon as Zhang Xiu finished repeating, Wang Chong couldn't help laughing, and looked at Jia Xu with a playful expression, "Mr. Wenhe, if you want to vote for Cao Cao, you can just go yourself, but why do you want to drag General Zhang into the abyss from which you will never recover?" ”

Jia Xu sneered: "Oh? I wonder what General Annan has in mind? ”

Wang Chong shrugged his shoulders, in fact, from the moment Jia Xu tested himself, he knew that it was difficult for him to hide from the other party, so when his identity was revealed by Jia Xu, Wang Chong, who had already been mentally prepared, did not show too many emotional fluctuations: "I just want to ask Mr. Wenhe, maybe Cao Cao can indeed put aside his personal grievances and accept General Zhang's invitation to surrender for the sake of the great cause, but can Mr. Wenhe guarantee that Cao Cao's heirs, and the civil and military under his account can not hold a grudge against General Zhang?" ”

"......" Jia Xu's face finally became solemn, Wang Chong's words, directly said the biggest flaw in his words, because once Zhang Xiu defected to Cao Cao, this problem is a dead knot that can never be untied, even if Cao Cao is protected, Zhang Xiu will not escape the fate of being excluded, if Cao Cao's heirs have another fierce and ruthless generation, Zhang Xiu may be played to death by the other party.

Zhang Xiu is not a fool, hearing Wang Chong say this, he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and his face instantly became gloomy: "Wenhe, what else do you have to say?" ”

Jia Xu shook his head gloomily: "There is nothing to say!" ”

Jia Xu, who felt guilty about Zhang Xiu, didn't want to explain more, because any more explanation was just quibbling, in the final analysis, although Jia Xu's tricks were vicious, he himself was not a ruthless and unrighteous person.

"You...... You've disappointed me so much! Zhang Xiu slapped the table case and said bitterly.

At this time, Wang Chong interjected and asked: "Actually, the general would like to know, why is Mr. Wenhe so optimistic about Cao Cao?" ”
