As soon as everyone arrived in front of Guo Jia's room pointed out by Mrs. Zhang, they saw Chen Zhi sitting in the small pavilion in the courtyard that fell red in the dusk and drinking, and the long sword that made the Jizhou military generals frightened when Chen Zhi first arrived in Jizhou was horizontal next to the wine jar on the quaint square table made of bluestone slabs in the small pavilion.

When Han Fu and the others saw the scene in front of them, they couldn't help but sink in their hearts, knowing that the way was not good, Han Fu saw that no one dared to talk to him, so he had to step forward, after all, he was the assassin of Jizhou, and it stands to reason that Chen Zhi had to give himself face no matter how angry he was. So Han Fu reluctantly lifted his spirits, and reluctantly smiled at Chen Zhi: "General Shuzhi, the old man is very worried now, I don't know what happened to Mr. Guo Jia, please tell me." ”

Chen Zhi turned his head and looked at Han Fu coldly when he heard this, Han Fu was shocked when he saw that Chen Zhi's tiger eyes were cold, as clear as a bottomless lake, without any emotion, which made Han Fu, who was already afraid of things, feel cold, and was cold from head to toe.

"Lord Thorn." Chen Zhi was unexpectedly calm, but Han Fu was taken aback by Chen Zhi's cold attitude, and couldn't help but take a step back, only to hear Chen Zhi say to himself: "Lord Assassin Shi, please send someone to Chen Liu immediately, tell my lord about Mr. Guo Jia's assassination, and ask my lord to decide!" Of course, the murderer who assassinated my military advisor must not be spared. ”

Although Han Fu had been mentally prepared, he was still frightened by the news, and it took a long time for it to be screened, and he nodded hurriedly and said, "This matter must be done." Please also ask the general to mourn the change. ”

Things have come to this point, what else is there to say? Han Fu only left the Zhen Mansion with a group of Jizhou officials, as for how to phrase it, it was Han Fu's business, after all, Han Fu couldn't let Xu Ji get angry with the entire Jizhou, after all, it seems that playing tricks and tricks Xu Ji is obviously much more powerful than Yuan Shao, and this even elimination has destroyed Yuan Shao's Jizhou, which is almost at his fingertips, and the sadness and sorrow in Han Fu's heart are even more irrepressible when he thinks of this.

Han Fu walked on the front foot, and Chen entered the room on the back foot and came to the bedside. Looking at Guo Jiadao, who was pale because of a lot of blood loss at the moment and was being bandaged by Zhang Gu, he said, "Military Division." I have already sent them according to your instructions just now, and that Han Fu was really frightened, and immediately went back to Xiangfang. I don't think it won't be long before they fall into the calculations of the military advisors. ”

Xun You, who was standing on the side at this time, looked at Guo Jia with a smile on his face. smiled: "Feng Xiao is really good at acting." It scared the hell out of me. I almost thought you had been shot in the heart by the arrow, but instead it had been shot into the tight gap between your chest and arm, and the blood was all skin wounds cut by the edge of the arrow. But it's really dangerous, otherwise a little bit is the heart. Fortunately, there is no poison on the arrow. ”

Guo Jia, who was pale, said with a smile: "I worried the two of you, when I was shot, I already had an idea, and I wanted to hide people's eyes and ears, so that the person who assassinated me thought that I was dead, so I didn't have time to discuss with the two of you, not to mention who knows if they have a second round of attacks?" Wouldn't there be less danger and trouble after I fell? But it's not too late to tell you. ”

Chen Zhi praised when he heard this: "The military advisor really deserves to be the 'ghost talent' praised by the lord, and he can actually think about all the problems in that situation, and then make a plan, it is incredible, how can others think of it." I was going crazy. ”

Guo Jia nodded in agreement, then turned his head to Xun Yu and said, "I'll fix a book later, Gongda, you will return to Xiangyi immediately with the letter, and the lord will understand what I mean when you see it." Although Xun You nodded yes, he was worried.

Chen Zhi, who was on the side, asked very curiously: "Strategist, there are no outsiders here on the left and right, why don't you tell us what is going on." The anxious request for advice was beyond words. And Guo Jia also glanced at Xun You apologetically, obviously it was Zhilu Dao Xun You had something to say, and Xun You just shook his head lightly to indicate that it didn't matter.

Guo Jia turned his head and smiled: "I know what you want to ask, then let me tell you, the people who came to assassinate me this time must be Yuan Shao's subordinates, and they are the only ones in Jizhou who have the most sufficient reasons." ”

Chen Zhi frowned and shook his head when he heard this: "I also thought about them, but I think it is unlikely, after all, Yuan Shao has suffered a big loss in Jizhou, are they not afraid that after the matter is revealed, the lord will send troops to fight with him in anger?" ”

At this time, Zhang Gu, who had bandaged the wound on the side, also echoed Chen Zhi's opinion and said: "I also think that it is unlikely that it is Yuan Shao's hand, but it is more likely that Geng Wu and Guan Chun will do it, after all, Mr. is so unceremoniously refuted the face of the two people today, not to mention that we are no longer partners now, and Geng Wu and Guan Chun are also very good reasons to do this in order to keep Jizhou." Chen Zhi also nodded in agreement.

Guo Jia glanced at the two of them appreciatively and said, "Uncle Zhi, you two think very reasonably, but there is a question that you two have to figure out, Geng Wu and Guan Chun have not noticed the change in the situation yet, so they definitely can't talk about assassinating me, and it is even more impossible for others." Only Yuan Shao is the most likely, don't forget that now Yuan Shao is in Yanzhou, the east and west of Yanzhou are not what he can plot, only Jizhou is his development space on all sides, since it is not possible to fight openly and secretly, then it is inevitable to use a little conspiracy and trickery, if I die, the lord will definitely have a tense relationship with Jizhou, at that time, maybe there will be a sword and soldiers, Yuan Shao of course has a chance, at least Yuan Tan in Youzhou will not be so dangerous, and it is also a kind of suppression of Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, What's more, in the establishment of the emperor's status, Yuan Shao originally had different opinions with the lord and Han Fu, once the lord broke with Jizhou, then wouldn't this alliance supporting the emperor be self-defeating? Assassinating the First Army Division under the command of the Lord, disrupting the relationship between the Lordship and Jizhou, and destroying the Emperor's alliance were three birds with one stone. Only a few military advisors under Yuan Benchu could have thought of such a vicious strategy. ”

After Guo Jiayi said, the two suddenly became enlightened.

Guo Jia snorted coldly: "Yuan Shao retreated, but what about Yuan Xi who was in Yecheng before? I'm afraid that Yuan Xi is still in a corner of Jizhou at this moment, right? Do you remember when I said that there was another person behind Yuan Xi? ”

Chen Zhi and Zhang Gu's thoughts were immediately expanded by Guo Jia's words. Chen also said suddenly at this time: "The military advisor means that Yuan Shao's people are secretly sabotaging in Jizhou!" ”

Guo Jia nodded. Narrowing his bright eyes, he said, "That's why I have to play dead, because only in this way can I attract these potential enemies." When the time comes, maybe you will be able to catch the important figures in Yuan Shaojun! After that, Guo Jia's eyes appeared Tian Feng's deep and stubborn face.

Zhang Gu also nodded and said: "This plan is wonderful, Mr. is really full of wisdom and plays the enemy in the palm of his hand." ”

Guo Jia glanced at Zhang Gu and said, "Flim tongue!" Do you think the enemy will be easily fooled? If I guessed correctly, the people sent by Yuan Shao must have settled in Yecheng. I can fool others by pretending to be dead, but I can't fool him. ”

Zhang Gu hadn't figured it out yet, but Chen Zhi had figured it out, and he had an epiphany: "Mr. is reasonable. ”

Zhang Gu frowned and couldn't figure it out: "I know how frustrated I am, but now what is cooperating with the Yuan family can't be other families?" Didn't they also have a good relationship with Yuan Shao? ”

Guo Jia sneered when he heard this: "The big family values interests, and they will listen to whoever can make them more powerful." Yuan Shao's strength has now been greatly reduced. Even if they don't want to submit to the lord, they won't support Yuan Shao, at best it's a wait-and-see attitude. But this man is dead-eyed. And it's a great deal of friendship. His old friend Tian Feng contributed to Yuan Shao. How can it be unreasonable to be frustrated? ”

Zhang Gu was also stunned.

At this time, Guo Jia finally found time to turn his head to look at Xun You and asked, "Gongda, what are your concerns?" ”

Xun You frowned and said, "Fengxiao, how can the lord attack Jizhou now?" How can the strength in the hands of the lord now support multi-party warfare? ”

Hearing this, Guo Jia sighed softly and said in a low voice: "Now that Yuan Shao is looming as a threat behind the lord, it is definitely impossible for the lord to continue to be trapped in Chenliu. Jizhou is bound to be the goal of the lord, but even if the lord's situation does not occupy Jizhou, it must be used as a springboard. Therefore, it is inevitable to plot to seize Jizhou. ”

Xun You sighed and nodded.

Then Guo Jia said to Chen Zhi: "You better go out of the city and ask our manpower to see if there is any way to put me in a state of suspended animation, which can deceive those who are suspicious, maybe they will use all kinds of temptations." The sooner this happens, the better. ”

Chen was about to speak, when he knocked on the door, only to hear the moving voice of Mrs. Zhang outside the door: "General Chen, please open the door." ”

Guo Jia smiled bitterly at Chen Zhi, who was stunned: "Who said that I have no last resort? I'm going to say that I'm missing someone, and I can't hide it from Mrs. Zhang if I pretend to be dead. ”

Chen Zhi was stunned when he heard this, nodded and smiled bitterly: "Mr. is right, this matter can't be hidden from her after all, if Mr. is really dead, I'm afraid that the first one to rush over is this Mrs. Zhang, right?" ”

Xun You didn't know why, he thought that Guo Jia and this Mrs. Zhang had a leg, so before he could speak, Guo Jia said lightly: "Uncle go and open the door, I have my own way to deal with her." Chen Zhi nodded and got up.

The door opened, and Mrs. Zhang's intimidating, calm and sweet voice came in: "General Chen, the slave family has come to visit Mr. Guo Jia. Is it convenient? Guo Jia and Xun You couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly when they heard this.

Chen Zhi also nodded to Mrs. Zhang and said, "Mr. has been waiting for Mrs. for a long time, but I didn't expect to work for Miss Zhen Mi." It turned out that it was a mother and daughter standing outside the door.

The footsteps started, obviously Chen Zhi let the mother and daughter into the house, and at the same time, Zhen Mi's coquettish voice was heard: "It's really rare, there are still things in this world that our Yanzhou First Army Division can't think of!" And it's me, a little woman, who surprised Mr. Guo, so shouldn't I beat gongs and drums and cry bitterly at the feast to celebrate? There was a lot of irony.

Guo Jia has been laughing and scolding Zhen Mi for a long time now, knowing that although Zhen Mi is powerful, he is actually very worried about his injury, and at this moment he heard a smile and said: "Hehe, Miss Mi'er is really unexpected, Miss Mi'er is really unexpected, I remember that Miss Mi'er said at the banquet a few days ago that Guo Jia died early!" Why do you care about the life and death of her country today, ha, I understand, Miss Mi'er is not here to care about Guo's injury, but to see if Guo's arrow wound is serious enough to be injured and not healed, if it follows Miss's wishes. And the world was at peace from then on. ”

"Taiping, you big-headed ghost!" At this time, Zhen Mi and her young mother, who seemed to be sisters, walked in, and the former stared at Guo Jia, who was leaning on the side of the bed at the moment, without the slightest hint of getting up, and said coquettishly. Mrs. Zhang glared at her daughter lovingly, and scolded lightly: "Mi Erxiu's nonsense, Mr. Guo Jia is injured after all, don't let Mr. talk too much." ”

Guo Jia glanced at Chen Zhi, who was standing behind the mother and daughter at the moment, and the latter understood the task given to him by Guo Jia, and hurriedly pulled Xun You, who had stood up just now because of the arrival of Mrs. Zhang and Zhen Mi, and was already stunned because of the worldly appearance of the two daughters. The latter reacted at this time. I couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Busy with Chen Zhi said goodbye to the three of them, and walked out of the room with Chen Zhi with a red face.

As soon as he went out, the red-faced Xun You returned to his senses, shook his head at Chen Zhi and sighed: "I have long heard of the name of Zhen Mi, the first beauty in Jizhou. I also heard that his mother is also a rare color in the world. Didn't see before. I never thought that there was such a beautiful and moving mother and daughter flower in this world, and I didn't know where I was! "I couldn't praise it again and again.

At this time, the two had already walked out of the quiet courtyard where Guo Jia lived, and Chen Zhi was about to tease Xun You. Who knew at a glance that there was a person walking quickly in the verandah not far away, the figure flashed, and then out of the moon corner gate in front of him, his expression moved, and said to Xun You: "Mr. Gongda, you still take the opportunity to leave Yecheng, the military advisor is safe and sound, tell the lord not to worry about Jizhou, by the way, can you find Le Wenqian for me outside the city, ask him if there is a way to make the military advisor pretend to be dead, and then ask him to call someone into the city to find Zhang Gu is: I have other things to do, I don't know when I can come back." If the military advisor asks at that time, Mr. Annoyance Lao will answer for me and say that I found the middle-aged scribe who followed Yuan Xi to entangle Miss Zhen Mi in the Hero Building when I came to Jizhou at the beginning of last year, and then hid backwards after seeing Geng Wu and Guan Chun, I will follow now to see what this kid is coming from! Xun You naturally heard it inexplicably, I don't know what happened to Lu Dao, and now Chen Zhi actually didn't go to do what Guo Jia handed him first, but seeing Chen Zhi's solemn look, it was obviously not a joke, and after listening to Chen Zhi's explanation, he immediately understood that the person from Yuan Xi's side appeared in the Zhen Mansion just now, which was indeed suspicious.

Xun You nodded yes, Chen Zhi also put his mind at ease, and said a few more words to Zhang Gu, who had just gone out, and chased in the direction where the middle-aged scribe had just disappeared. Xun You stood in the courtyard for a while and secretly went out of the house.

However, Guo Jia doesn't know these things now, he is now just looking at the mother and daughter in front of him with a smile on his face, and he is dealing with the condolences of the two with a smile on his face, but he is thinking about whether he should tell Xu Ji about his plot to seize Jizhou, after all, the situation in the entire Central Plains is completely different from last year, and it is undeniable that Xu Ji has now become the head of the Kwantung princes in terms of prestige and strength, and the leader of the Central Plains. Xu Ji is now eager to expand externally, and it can't be stopped at all, even if he wants to hide it from the Zhen family, he can't hide it for long, and doing so will bring a lot of disadvantages to the cooperation between the two, after all, when Xu Ji sits in Jizhou in the future, from the perspective of stabilizing Jizhou, the role of the Zhen family cannot be underestimated, not to mention that in the past year, he has developed feelings with the Zhen family, Guo Jia really does not want anything unpleasant to happen and make the Zhen family stand on the opposite side of Xu Ji, Although he has not been by Xu Ji's side for a long time, Guo Jia has clearly felt the changes in Xu Ji from Xu Ji's letters from the shadow, these letters are more and more showing a kingly temperament, Xu Ji's way of thinking and vision have become more and more practical, although he still values love and righteousness, but he is not merciful when he fights the enemy.

Because of this, Guo Jia didn't want the Zhen family to stand on the opposite side of Xu Ji, otherwise it would provoke Xu Ji's comprehensive suppression of the Zhen family, and it would be very difficult for him to be caught in it.

While thinking about it, Mrs. Zhang smiled at Guo Jia and said, "Mr. Guo, you are a smart person, you should know that the Dao slave family has other purposes here." After saying that, her beautiful eyes flowed, and she looked at Guo Jia with a smile.

Guo Jia smiled bitterly in her heart, for some reason, when facing this Mrs. Zhang, she always underestimated her intelligence in front of her, maybe this is a common problem of men, right? But that's fine, I just don't have to hide it from her, lest he suspect that he is doing something that Xu Ji is unhappy about, it will be self-defeating, so he smiled and said: "Madam, please speak, Guo Jiading should know everything, and say everything." ”

Mrs. Zhang perked up and said to Guo Jia: "Mr. today's behavior, the slave family can also guess the approximate situation, but I don't know if the gentleman's agreement between Mr. and the slave family last year still counts?" ”

Guo Jia was stunned when she heard this, and then she understood what Mrs. Zhang was worried about, it turned out that she was afraid that after Xu Ji annexed Jizhou in the future, she would coerce the Zhen family like Yuan Shao, and the most headache was to get a marriage. However, Mrs. Zhang didn't know that her worries were too much, because since Xu Ji changed his mind, his road to hegemony has been completely different from that of other princes, Xu Ji definitely does not need to use his own popularity to attract the support of the local powerful family every time he goes to a place, on the contrary, he will be more determined to eliminate the family family, so for Xu Ji, he is eager to get rid of the relationship with the family family, let alone get entangled with the family family marriage.

However, Guo Jia admired this Mrs. Zhang even more, and she could see from the fact that she was pretending to be dead that Xu Ji wanted to attack Jizhou, so she had this conversation with herself now.

Thinking of this, Guo Jia smiled and said: "Madame is too worried, what Guo and Madame said last year can be counted at any time." His tone was resolute, and there was no hint of maneuvering. (To be continued......)
