"Husband, Jingzhou Thorn Shi Wang Rui has an urgent report!" Xu Shu hurriedly walked into the study with a silk silk.

"Huh! After waiting for so many days, it's finally here! Hearing this, Wang Xu couldn't help but slowly put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Xu Shu with a smile on his face.

Since Hetian Feng decided to deal with Nanban and the local family, Wang Xu turned all his attention to the imperial court and Guiyang. There was nothing special happening in the imperial court, relying on his sister to make a fortune as a butcher, the general He Jin always maintained a delicate relationship with the eunuchs, both wanting to win over the scholar group and the eunuchs to fight for power, but he was unwilling to completely tear his face with the eunuchs. The other ministers formed groups and fought in the court, but unfortunately most of them had no real power and could hardly do anything.

And Guiyang is more lively here, and Wang Rui seems to know that he can't survive this winter, so he is eager to fight with Ou Xing. It's a pity that he was used by Ou Xing instead, and he suffered several defeats, and the form was even more unfavorable. There had been an urgent report before, hoping that Sun Jian and Wang Xu would send troops, but unfortunately the two of them almost simultaneously "euphemistically" said their difficulties and reasons for not being able to send troops.

Seeing the smile on Wang Xu's face, Xu Shu couldn't help but be happy and walked to his side happily. "Husband, what do you think Wang Rui wants you to do?"

"What else can be written? It's nothing more than asking me to give me food, grass and supplies. Wang Xu pursed his lips, not showing any interest in the silk silk in Xu Shu's hand.

"Huh! Then you don't watch it? Xu Shu suddenly smiled.

"Now that you know the content, what use does it seem to be?" Waving his hand, Wang Xu instead took Xu Shu into his arms and said softly: "Sun Jian and I don't send troops to help, nor do we give food and grass supplies, Wang Rui won't last long." Wait, I estimate that it won't be long before someone from Guiyang County will issue a distress order on behalf of the county government! ”

"And when are you going to send troops?"

"Of course, after the beginning of spring, it is not suitable to fight in winter now, and I also need a little buffer time in Lingling County." Saying that, Wang Xu smiled slightly, hugged Xu Shu's hand tightly, and then asked, "Good wife, how are the handmade products you have been tinkering with recently?" ”

Hearing Wang Xu ask about this, Xu Shu suddenly became excited. "It's good, I opened a handicraft workshop in my father's name, which not only solved the livelihood problems of many displaced people, but also developed very well! Chairs, women's dresses, delicate trinkets and wooden tables are very popular among the people. I'm going to send people to the surrounding counties in two months to add some more workshops, and maybe we can earn subsidy funds for us!"

"Huh! Play as you please. Anyway, you're idle now! After speaking, Wang Xu thought about it, and couldn't help but smile: "However, a workshop like yours can also be used as one of the intelligence sites." ”

"Hmm!" Nodding, Xu Shu didn't seem to want to talk about this anymore, looked at the sky outside the window, and suddenly said coquettishly: "Husband, you don't have anything to do now anyway, go out with me!" ”

"This ......" Hearing this, Wang Xu suddenly said with some hesitation: "This is not good!" Many of the people in this county know you and me, and it seems very inappropriate for us to wander the streets at this time. ”

"Oops! What's so hard about that, you can go outside the city! Although the weather is a little cold, but today's weather is good, let's go outside the city to play, just take a break! ”

"Alright then!" After thinking for a while, Wang Xu finally couldn't bear to refuse, and nodded with a smile.

"It's better to be a husband!" Xu Shu was overjoyed when she heard this, and kissed Wang Xu on the face.

Wang Xu, who was suddenly attacked, suddenly stood up, smiled "hehe", and hugged Xu Shu horizontally. In his coquettish scolding, he laughed and walked out of the study!

The two had just walked to the garden outside playfully, and before Wang Xu could put Xu Shu down, he heard Zhou Zhi's laughing voice from a distance: "Boss! It turns out that you and your sister-in-law are having a good time here, but we are tired to death. ”

As long as Zhou Zhi's living treasure appears, don't think about peace. Hearing this, Wang Xu immediately glanced at Xu Shu extremely helplessly, and slowly put her down. "Zhou Zhi, why are you here, haven't you gone to the camp to audit the officials in the past two days?"

"Hey, hey! Boss, although I disturbed the good things of you and your sister-in-law, this was definitely not my intention. You don't want to declare a personal vendetta, I'll just say a few words, I'll leave after that, you can go on! After speaking, Zhou Zhi smiled obscenely, and without waiting for Wang Xu to answer, his face changed, and he solemnly continued: "Boss, although I personally don't object to this, because of your current special status, you should still worry about it!" This kind of opening up a 'field battlefield' in a big public is definitely a mistake! You can ...... back if you need to"

It's a pity that he hasn't finished speaking, and seeing that Wang Xu, who has a maid passing by, has directly kicked over, making him swallow the words in his stomach. Tie blushed and said, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Seeing this, Zhou Zhi, who had dodged the wolf, couldn't help but laugh dryly, looked at Wang Xu, and then at Xu Shu. However, he didn't continue to make trouble, and soon said seriously: "Boss, I rushed back in a hurry because I learned about two major events when I was auditing officials in Yingdao County. ”

"Oh? Which two? ”

"I already know who the two most authoritative and leading people in Guilin County are at the moment."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Xu suddenly glanced at Xu Shu in surprise, and then hurriedly asked, "Tell me, who is it?" ”

"Guiyang County Commander Zhang Xian, Guiyang County Facial Officials Peng Liu Du." Zhou Zhi was not ambiguous when it came to business, and immediately opened his mouth to reply.

But Wang Xu, who heard these two names, was taken aback, and recently recalled a lot of things about the four counties of Jingnan in history, how could he not be surprised when he heard these two names at this moment!

Isn't Zhang Xian the Changsha Taishou who broke away from Liu Biao's control and wanted to take refuge in Cao Cao under the construction of the Huan Ladder? He once served as a county magistrate in many places in Lingling, Guiyang, Changsha and other counties, and he was well governed, and was very respected by the people in Xiaoxiang. It's a pity that he chose the wrong time, Cao Cao was entangled in Guandu at that time, and he didn't come to Jingzhou at all, and he was directly killed by Liu Biao, who was in the prime of life.

And Liu Du, Wang Xu has only one impression, that is, the later Lingling Taishou. When Liu Bei conquered the four counties of Jingnan, he surrendered, and had a son, Liu Xian, known as one of the Five Tigers of Jingnan. It's just that these Jingnan Five Tigers are nothing in the entire Three Kingdoms era, and if they are in good condition, they can walk through more than ten or twenty times in the hands of super-first-class generals.

After thinking about this quickly, Wang Xu's brows also wrinkled. "Zhou Zhi, where did you get the information, is it reliable? As far as I got, isn't there another county in Guiyang County? How could it be the turn of the five senses and a county order to call the shots? ”

"Boss, it's true!" Seeing that Wang Xu hesitated, Zhou Zhi immediately continued: "I learned this information from Fan Yun, the new county commander of Yingdao County, their Fan family is a big family in Guiyang, although it has declined because the world has not been peaceful over the years, but it also knows a lot of things. ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu finally nodded solemnly, and slowly pointed to the gazebo next to him and said, "Let's go, go over and sit and talk!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhou Zhi responded, followed Wang Xu and Xu Shu to the pavilion and sat down, and then said: "Boss, according to the information I heard from Fan Yun's mouth, that Guiyang County has been an empty shelf since the death of the former Taishou. Because he was originally a foreigner, and he came here with his predecessor Guiyang Taishou, and after the former Guiyang Taishou died because of incompetence, he completely lost all his rights. On the contrary, the Zhang family and the Liu family were very important because of their reputation, power, and prestige, so they quickly received the support of Guiyang officials. At present, almost all the affairs in Guiyang are discussed by these two families, and the county is just a decoration specially responsible for stamping the seal. ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu couldn't help but say: "Then you mean that Zhang Xian and Liu Du are the principals of the two families?" ”

"Hmm!" Zhou Zhi immediately nodded again and again.

Seeing this, Wang Xu couldn't help but fall into deep thought. As soon as the winter is over, the troops will enter Guiyang, if it is a plate of loose sand, of course, it is easy to do, but now there are two local families involved. If you rely on them, then you will not be able to lose the tail in the future, and it will completely contradict your own plan to suppress and weaken the local family. But if you don't rely on them, how can you logically make the officials of Guiyang County submit to you?

Just when Wang Xu was immersed in contemplation, and Zhou Zhi looked at Wang Xu quietly, Xu Shu, who was silent on the side, suddenly interjected: "Husband, don't you think it's strange?" How come there are so many powerful Liu families in Jingnan? Liu Xian and Liu Qian once said that there are two big families surnamed Liu in Jingnan, and the ancestral family is in our Lingling County. One is Liu Xian's family, and the other is the current Jiangxia Taishou Liu Xiang's family, since this is the case, what is going on with the Liu family in Guiyang County? Since they can manipulate a county, the power must be not small. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Zhi suddenly looked at Xu Shu strangely. "Sister-in-law, do you mean to say that this Guiyang Liu family may be related to my two Liu families in Lingling County?"

"Well, it's possible!" Without waiting for Xu Shu to answer, Wang Xu had already spoken: "But it's useless to say this now, no matter what, anyway, the next plan must be to recover and suppress the two families of Zhang and Liu in Guiyang, but you can talk to Liu Xian and Liu Qian in advance." But what happened to the Fan family? I wonder what the situation is in Gyeyang? Maybe there is a place where it can be used. ”

Zhou Zhi hesitated for a moment before he hesitated: "This...... I don't know very well, but from Fan Yun's words, this Fan family is not bad. ”

"Hmmm! Then I'll summon Fan Yun another day to inquire and see if I can get any useful information. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Zhi didn't say anything more, looked at Wang Xu, and suddenly showed that playful look on his face: "Boss, is there anything else?" If it's okay, I'll go back to rest, and you and your sister-in-law can continue! ”

"Following your size, ......" Hearing this, Xu Shu suddenly took a sip.

"Hey, hey!" Zhou Zhi was really thick-skinned, he didn't care at all, he smiled at Wang Xu shyly, then stood up and walked out.

Looking at Zhou Zhiyuan's back, Xu Shu suddenly smiled helplessly: "I really don't know where he got such a good spirit all day long, hee-hee is not serious." ”

"Huh! That's a good thing for him! Saying that, Wang Xu smiled slightly, and then turned around and said, "Let's go, don't you want me to accompany you to see the scenery?" If you keep grinding, time is running out! ”

"Ahh yes, I almost forgot, let's go! Xu Shu exclaimed, stood up suddenly, took Wang Xu's hand and ran......
