Chapter 189: Action
Hearing Guo Jia's so-called plan to rob the grain, the three of them couldn't help but look at Guo Jia with a confident look in a daze, as if they wanted to see through Guo Jia's intentions, but although this strategy was risky, they had to admit that it was really a brilliant idea.
Mrs. Zhang let out a coquettish smile and said, "Mr. Guo is really clever and extraordinary!" ”
Zhen Mi snorted, still looking unconvinced, obviously she was extremely unconvinced by Guo Jia. But the shocked look in Zhen Mi's eyes did not dissipate for a long time, obviously shocked by Guo Jia.
At this time, Chen Zhi also remembered Guo Jia's plan before, so he replied in a deep voice: "Chen Zhi knows how to do it." ”
"But......" Mrs. Zhang pondered, "I'm afraid this matter can't be done by General Chen alone, right?" Presumably Mr. Guo already knew about Lord Lu Dao's assassination of Lord Shi's preparation to send troops, right? At that time, all the private soldiers of my Zhen family will be put into the defense of Yecheng, and there will be no extra manpower for General Chen to use. ”
Of course, Guo Jia knew that Mrs. Zhang had already deduced from today's banquet with Geng Wu and others that she had already known the news of the transfer of troops in Yecheng, so she replied indifferently: "Madame doesn't have to take this matter to heart, I naturally have enough manpower and strength to do this." ”
Guo Jia's self-confidence naturally comes from the new batch of phantoms trained by Shi A, these phantom members were originally engaged in intelligence spying, and their skills and minds are naturally first-class, and now they have been trained by Shi A, who is almost a first-rate swordsman in the world, and his skills have also improved, as long as he is cautious and careful, he can naturally be no different from the bandits.
And Mrs. Zhang immediately understood that Guo Jia had another person to infiltrate Jizhou. Suddenly, he said: "I see! Although Mr. Zao Zhi has the kind of mind of 'although thousands of people are going to do it' and look down on the success or failure of life and death, the concubine has always wondered how your concubine can agree to you personally take risks? Now it seems that I finally understand. It turns out that the gentleman still has a hand. ”
Guo Jia nodded when he heard this, but Chen Zhi on the side was proud in his heart. That is natural, because Xu Ji came to Jizhou to prepare for both hands, if he can't convince Han Fu in the negotiation field, then Guo Jia and Chen Zhi will disrupt Jizhou in the way of war, and they must hold on until Xu Ji gets Xuzhou before leaving.
However, as the so-called plan has not changed quickly, now it seems that Yuan Shao's appetite is a little too big, and he wants to solve Youzhou and Jizhou in one fell swoop, forcing Guo Jia to have no choice but to stand up for the Zhen family now. But that's okay, if things go well, Yuan Shao will be defeated, and at that time, even if Xu Ji can't occupy the entire territory of Jizhou, he will at least be able to get considerable benefits, not to mention the favor from the Zhen family.
Thinking of this, Guo Jia raised his eyes and looked at Mrs. Zhang and said with a smile: "Actually, this matter still needs Mrs. to help a little, the grain we have grabbed will naturally be returned to the original owner and returned to Mrs., and Mrs. had better send someone to respond." ”
Mrs. Zhang nodded and said, "What Mr. said is very true, the grain handed over to us will be transported back to Yecheng as our own stockpile." ”
Guo Jiaha said with a smile: "If it is natural, it is the best, even if Yuan Shao can guess that we did it, I can't help it." At that time, as long as Mrs. pushes it cleanly, it has nothing to do with this matter. Could it be that Yuan Shao could still go to Yecheng in person to question? After saying that, the country paused and continued: "But Madame had better think clearly about the consequences of doing so. ”
Of course, Mrs. Zhang knew what Guo Jia was referring to, because this marked the complete cooperation between the Zhen family and Xu Ji, giving up the possibility of Yuan Shao's cooperation. But this matter is about the life and death of the Zhen family. Don't think about it yourself, in fact, Mrs. Zhang is also extremely helpless, because she herself has no other better ideas.
Thinking about this section, Mrs. Zhang gritted her silver teeth. said categorically: "This matter is all up to Mr. Guo as the master of the slave family." ”
Guo Jia, who was secretly nervously looking at Mrs. Zhang in his heart, let out a long breath in his heart, knowing that he had won a big victory tonight. Not only did he win the full cooperation with the Zhen family, but also this was equivalent to taking a handle of the Zhen family into his own hands. This handle is always the best weapon to intimidate Zhen. What's more, in this way, Xu Ji is equivalent to a big extra help.
Chen Zhi, who was on the side, saw that the matter had been settled, and couldn't help but ask: "Strategist, which group of robbers should you pretend to be?" ”
Guo Jia smiled when he heard this: "Now that the Montenegrin Army is so arrogant, it is better for Uncle Zhi to pretend to be a part of the Montenegrin Army!" It doesn't matter if you can deceive Yuan Shao, as long as you can deceive the world. ”
Chen Zhi nodded his head when he heard this.
But Zhen Mi was more worried about another thing, and asked: "Mr. Guo, General Chen is quite famous in the pursuit of Dong Zhuo, isn't he worried about being known?" ”
Guo Jia teased and said: "Could it be that Miss Zhen Mi doesn't know that there is such a thing as makeup in the world, of course, a girl who is so beautiful and beautiful as Miss is so natural that she doesn't use a little powder will not understand the pain of other people's makeup." However, the purpose of men and women makeup is different, the difference is that women wear makeup to be beautiful and let others remember her, while men wear makeup to become ugly, so that others can't see him clearly, it is difficult to become beautiful, isn't it simple to be ugly? Although General Shu Zhi is a dragon and phoenix among people, he is a rare figure in the world, but as long as he covers his face with gauze or smears some black ash, everything will be fine. ”
Zhen Mi didn't expect that her kindness would attract Guo Jia's unexpected ridicule, and she almost gritted her silver teeth and said, "What are you kidding, sir?" People can wear makeup, but can martial arts and skills also wear makeup? I'm afraid that as soon as General Chen makes a move, everyone knows him. ”
Before Guo Jia could retort and ridicule him, Chen Zhi had already said seriously on the side: "Miss Zhen Mi is too worried, as long as it is not a first-level general of Lu Bu, I don't need to use real kung fu to deal with them, well, I can use other people's martial arts, as long as I have seen martial arts, I can learn a similar one." Of course, it's just a showcase. ”
When Guo Jia heard this, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and smiled at Chen Zhi: "In this case, Uncle Zhi will use that Zhang He's marksmanship, how about it?" ”
The three of them were stunned when they heard this, but Chen Zhi knew that Guo Jia had such a plan. Now it's just pretending, but Mrs. Zhang reacted first. Nodding approvingly, he said: "Mr. Guo is really quick-thinking, this is indeed a good idea to confuse Yuan Shao's vision." ”
Guo Jia smiled happily and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Mrs." ”
Chen Zhi knows Guo Jia much better than Mrs. Zhang. Naturally, I knew in my heart that Guo Jia's doing this was not as simple as Mrs. Zhang said, and Guo Jia's actions must have the idea of subduing Zhang He. But Chen Zhi thinks about it, with the further expansion of the war, judging from the number of soldiers and generals and strategists that Chen Liu's current soldiers, it is quite overstretched, this Zhang He's martial arts are good, but he is a little impulsive, probably because he is too young, right? In time, he can become a general. Such a potential stock is naturally worth Guo Jia's attention to him.
At this time, Mrs. Zhang said leisurely as if unintentionally: "Forget it." This Zhang He is also a distant relative of mine. ”
When Guo Jia heard this, he secretly said in his heart: "Wouldn't this be better?" On the surface, he pretended not to care, just stretched his waist, yawned, and said to Mrs. Zhang: "It's getting late, Guo Jia is also tired, let's rest at Mrs.'s house tonight, Mrs. doesn't object, right?" ”
Zhen Mi couldn't help but be angry when she heard Guo Jia's words, how could there be such a person? The owner didn't have the slightest intention of keeping him for the night, so how could he take the initiative to ask for it? As a result, Zhen Mi gave a definition of Guo Jia in her heart: this Guo Jia is too thick-skinned.
And Mrs. Zhang was stunned at first. Immediately understood what Guo Jia meant, and couldn't help but smile coquettishly: "Of course Mr. Guo wants to stay in the cold house tonight, not only tonight, but Mr. Guo can stay for a few days in the future." Zhen's whole family is dedicated to hospitality. Right, Mr. Guo? After that, he looked at Guo Jia with a playful face, but Guo Jia was unmoved. He just stood up and yawned, but didn't speak again. Looking at Mrs. Zhang's peerless appearance from above, there is another moving feeling. Turning his head to look at Zhen Mi, who was displeased on the side, Guo Jia couldn't help but smile and said, "There is such a hospitable host as Madame." Of course, Guo Jia had to stay a few more days. But ......" Guo Jia turned his head to look at Chen Zhi and said, "Uncle Zhi, you don't have this blessing." ”
Chen Zhi nodded and said, "Chen Zhi understands what the military advisor means, and Chen Zhi will leave the city tomorrow." ”
Seeing Chen Zhi like this, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but smile and said, "General Chen doesn't need to be in such a hurry, he must make everyone in Yecheng think that General Chen and Mr. Guo are staying in the Zhen Mansion as guests." ”
Speaking of this, the four people present couldn't help but laugh out loud.
And a big event happened in Jizhou in the next three days. A rush to buy grain began to sweep the land of Jizhou.
The panic in the hearts of the people was palpable, and they seemed extremely powerless in all this, and could only watch as the high-rollers who did not know where they came from spent money to pull away the carts of grain like flowing water, and left the city.
The only thing that reassured them was that in Jizhou, the Zhen family, which had absolute dominance over grain, announced that the price of grain would not increase. And that's the only thing that gives them a little peace of mind.
Of course, this not only relieved the people of Jizhou, but also made Han Fu put his mind at ease. Although Han Fu is old, he is not really old and confused to the point of being useless, of course he understands that if Zhen takes the opportunity to raise prices, then Jizhou will immediately be in chaos, and his Jizhou assassin history will really become precarious, and it is precisely because of Zhen's attitude of full support for him in Han Fu's opinion, that Han Fu can make Zhao Fu and others use troops abroad to base Yuan Shao.
It's just that Han Fu is still a little worried, he doesn't know how long the Zhen clan can support this, because although the people's hearts have temporarily stabilized, the trend of food rush purchase has become more and more intense, and there is no intention of stopping, which makes Han Fu feel extremely frightened.
And the most proud person now is probably Yuan Shao, right?
Xin Ming, the clan brother of Xin Ping, who was escorting grain and grass, was also very proud now.
Now the Xin family has fully cooperated with Yuan Shao, and the relationship is like a newlywed Yan'er, the food trend in Jizhou is the joint handiwork of several major families, which can not only break the status of the Zhen family in Jizhou, but also support Yuan Shao's army, after all, with military food, the army can fight. And as long as there is enough food and salary support, why can't we win the battle?
On the one hand, no one can financially break away from the Zhen family, and on the other hand, the Zhen family's academic reputation is intolerable and unbearable, so this time they can deal with the Zhen family, and these family families who are very close to the Zhen family on the surface are extremely positive. Once the Zhen family collapsed, Yuan Shao became the ruler of Jizhou. Then the power of the entire Jizhou will be reshuffled, and the clans, including the Xin family, will also come out of the shadow of the Zhen family. Reach the pinnacle of power.
In fact, Yuan Shao is indeed short of food now, so he attaches great importance to the delivery of the grain purchased this time, and now there are generals sent by Yuan Shao next to Xin Ming, and there are three thousand elite private soldiers of the Xin family accompanying him.
In another day, the grain will be in the hands of Ben Chu Gong.
Xin Ming narrowed his eyes, and couldn't help but thank Xin Ping in his heart, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, but unfortunately he has never been willing to take refuge in the object, and he knows from within the family that Yuan Shao will enter Jizhou. He knew that the opportunity for him to show his talents had finally arrived.
Hmph, at that time, whatever Zhang He and Han Meng will stand aside for me. Now Xin Ming is completely caught in a beautiful vision for the future.
At this moment, a mutation protruded.
There was a sound of bows and crossbows, arrows struck like locusts, and the sound of arrows whistling made the unprepared soldiers roll on their backs.
And just before Xin Ming could understand what was going on, thousands of unknown enemies armed with all kinds of weapons rushed towards them from the dense forest on the left. Shouting and shouting and killing, the private soldiers of the Xin family were in chaos for a moment, obviously being hit by the sudden sneak attack of the brave enemy in front of them, who were dressed in various colors and had a strong physique.
But looking at the dress, this is definitely not some kind of regular army. Rather, it should be a group of robbers, although they are all strong and strong, but they do not cooperate at all in their actions when attacking. It's just that Zhilu Dao is constantly rushing forward to kill, and this style of play can't last at all. Once your team has stabilized its position, form a formation and charge to kill. The group of robbers in front of them will surely be defeated in a situation.
This made Xin Ming and the others, who were originally very worried, put their minds at ease, and each urged their war horses to move forward to organize the Xin family's private soldiers who were a little flustered at this time.
Suddenly, a man in black blocked in front of everyone with a gun, he didn't say a word, but clearly announced that "this road is not passable". Look at the man on the other side, who is not very strong, and his face is so unkempt that people can't see his face clearly, he is lonely and immediately opposite, and a feeling of immeasurability spreads in everyone's hearts. It seems that this person is the leader of the rabble in front of him, he doesn't even have decent armor, he dares to rob the house here, and he finds his own family private soldier who has the upper hand in terms of numbers and equipment training, which is really laughing to death.
Xin Ming's originally small slender eyes narrowed into a slit at this time, and he shouted with a smile: "Who is on the other side?" After eating the bear's heart and leopard gall, he dared to rob my Xin family's supplies. Sure enough, it's not going to die? ”
The black-clothed man on the opposite side coldly held his spear and said, "You don't need to know the Dao, just remember that I am Brother Zhang Yan's subordinate." There was no emotion in his voice.
Of course, this person is Chen Dao, but at this time, Chen Zhi has already dressed up so that everyone can't see his true appearance, especially the broken appearance, which will not make people think that this person in front of him will be Chen Dao who defeated Xu Rong. What's more, Xin Ming and the others were not unfamiliar with Chen Zhi in the first place, and they only heard of his name at all, but did not see him.
Now Chen Zhi, who is sitting on the war horse, scolded in his heart, in order to pretend to be a robber to deal with the vulnerable rats in front of him, Chen Zhi has been tortured in the past two days, after all, this group of phantoms is almost a well-trained army, and they have long been accustomed to cooperating under Gao Shun's mention, and the combat method they are now good at and accustomed to is to solve the enemy with absolute superiority in the shortest time with the smallest casualties, and now they actually want them to come up like a regular army and charge into battle, And it's the kind of straggler who doesn't talk about cooperating with headless flies, which really makes them nerve-wracking. And in order to change their almost habitual mode of warfare, it also led Chen to this expert in commanding the army, a big headache.
But fortunately, Chen Zhi still thought of a not very clever method: let them imagine that there was no partner around them before the battle, there was no way out, and there was only a desperate scene of fighting alone, which made this group of Phantom members devote themselves to the state of robbers, so now the members of that group of Phantom Shadows cut people down like outlaws who gathered in the mountains and forests, so they naturally deceived Xin Ming and the others immediately.
When Xin Ming and the others heard Zhao Yun's words, they were moved, they turned out to be the subordinates of Zhang Yan, the invincible Black Mountain Army in the Central Plains, no wonder they were so bold, but this man in black was not Zhang Yan, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Xin Ming looked at the man in front of him playfully, and said with a smile: "You are a man who is a little interesting, General Ben didn't want to kill you, because there are not many people like you who are so incompetent to such an interesting extent these years, but unfortunately you provoked people who shouldn't be provoked this time, only to complain that your life is not good, I will give you some time to pray to the gods now, so that Lord Yama will bless you to be reincarnated in a rich family in the next life, so you don't have to take your life for your livelihood." ”
Behind Xin Ming's words, Yuan Shao's generals were all laughing.
But Chen Zhi spoke quietly, not loud, but very clear: "Could it be that I am praying for you?" ”
As soon as Chen Zhi said this, everyone's laughter stopped abruptly, obviously angered by what Chen Zhi said, Yuan Shao's love will Cen Bi snorted coldly, and Tima came out, and without talking, he rushed towards Zhao Yun silently, obviously wanting to give the arrogant black-clothed man in front of him a dismount, telling him what it means to have someone outside the world, of course, it is best to cut Chen Zhi under the horse in one fell swoop, then it will be a hundred.
