Chapter 693: Lu Xun's Greeting Gift
After making a decision, Wang Xu wrote a handwritten letter to Zhou Yu of Nanhai County and Sun Jian, who was far away in Jianye, informing him of all his speculations about Cao Cao's layout.
As for believe it or not, he wasn't worried. Zhou Yu and Sun Jian are both outstanding people, and Jiangdong Nengchen is not one or two, so they will naturally explore and think.
Moreover, Cao Cao's plan this time, the most powerful, is to grasp the habit of thinking, everyone thought that he was mainly fighting for Wang Xu, fighting for Chu State, eager to eat the big cake of Jingbei, so subconsciously ignored that Huainan is also a smaller cake, so as to achieve a surprise effect.
But once it is discovered, then this law of thinking is broken, and from all kinds of intelligence to analyze and deduce, you can naturally understand its true intentions!
Subsequently, Wang Xu and Xue Zong discussed for a while, and began to arrange various affairs in the future.
After careful deliberation and careful consultation with Xue Zong on the situation of Jiaozhou, Wang Xu finally decided to recruit the Taiwei Mansion to engage in Wang Fu, go south to Jiaozhou, and serve as the Taishou of Hepu.
Deng Fang, the temple of Guanglu Temple, was transferred to Jiaozhi Taishou.
As for Cheng Bing, after Deng Fang took office, he was transferred to the Taishou of Yulin County.
Xue Zong was transferred to Jiaozhou Assassin History.
At the same time, he also ordered General Diannong Wen Ping to lead 10,000 recruits south again to replenish the Blue Dragon Legion!
Earlier, when Wenpin urgently sent supplies to the south, he left the trained 10,000 soldiers to Zhao Yun, and now it is the limit to send another 10,000, after all, the several major new battalions that Wenpin is responsible for only maintain a total of 50,000 establishments, most of them have never been trained, and selecting 20,000 relatively good ones is probably already the limit.
The appointment document was written by Wang Xu himself. The partial general Liu Yun personally sent the horse to Xiangyang!
The days that followed. Wang Xu fell into a silent wait. Waiting for a response from Koto's side.
Unexpectedly, after Zhou Yu from Nanhai County got the news, he was silent for the time being, but on the side of Jiangdong Jianye, there was no news for a long time, which made people confused about their movements.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and even Deng Fang and Wang Fu, who were ordered to take up their posts, have arrived, but there has been no news from Jiangdong. It must be known that Deng Fang and Wang Fu were in Xiangyang for several days before they set off to the south, and it was impossible to rush non-stop along the way like a messenger.
However, Jiangdong did not move, and Wang Xu had no way to force it.
On this day, he was discussing with Xue Zong in the study about the measures to govern Jiaozhou, when suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
"King Chu, Cheng Taishou arrived outside the city. also brought more than 3,000 soldiers, and He Yi, the guard on duty today, did not dare to let him enter the city. Send someone to report to the King of Chu for his decision! ”
"Deshu came back with three thousand soldiers?" Xue Zong is bizarre. "Did he take the Jiaozhi defenders away?"
"Impossible, when Deng Fang went to Jiaozhi to take up his post, I told him to take good control of the Jiaozhi defenders, and Deshu Yan could transfer the soldiers without authorization?" Wang Xu also frowned: "This king will go and see it in person!" ”
Xue Zong was actually very puzzled in his heart, but he didn't believe that Cheng Bing was plotting against him, and hurriedly persuaded: "Lord, Deshu should have another reason, he is not such a repeated person!" ”
"I understand!"
Wang Xu nodded, but didn't say much, and asked the servants to prepare the horses.
The two quickly rushed to the head of the west city, Wang Xu had just climbed the city wall, He Yi had already ushered in a big stride, and reported with his hand: "Lord, Cheng Taishou has too many soldiers and horses, and now the shape is unstable, and the last general did not dare to open the city gate, but Cheng Taishou did not ask to open the door first, but just asked his subordinates to send someone to report to the lord!" ”
"Oh?" Wang Xu was even more curious in his heart, but a smile finally appeared on his face: "Deshu really won't fail me." ”
He actually didn't know the bottom in his heart just now, and now in the period of war, no one can tell.
If Cheng Bingzhen brought the troops back without authorization, it may also mean that he wanted to defraud the city, but if according to He Yi's words, he was not in a hurry to open the city gate, but took the initiative to say that he wanted to see him first, then it means that there is another hidden situation, after all, after he comes forward, if he has bad intentions, he will definitely not be able to hide it.
Walking to the edge of the city wall, Wang Xu swept his eyes and found that the two thousand soldiers were far away from the city, while Cheng Bing was standing within the range of the crossbowmen with two strangers.
At this time, Cheng Bing also saw him, and hurriedly shouted: "Lord, those three thousand soldiers are a surprise for the lord!" ”
As he spoke, Wang Xu couldn't speak, but he already said loudly: "The lord can see, the three thousand soldiers are now in the distance, and the ministers have already marched to the city, can the lord open the city gate and let the ministers and the other three enter, and then close the city gate, in such a short time, those foot soldiers will definitely not be able to cross such a long distance!" ”
When Wang Xu heard this, he made a rough calculation in his heart, and secretly agreed with his statement, the distance was indeed very far away, and the foot soldiers couldn't catch up.
"Open the gates!" He shouted in a deep voice.
He Yi understood and quickly ordered someone to open the city gate, but the crossbowmen were also on guard, and if there was a slight change, they would immediately be able to enter the battle.
Not long after, Cheng Bing brought two strangers into the city, and nothing happened to him, and the foot soldiers in the distance were still all sitting in place to rest.
At this time, Wang Xu was completely relieved, stood with a smile, and looked at Cheng Binghe and the two others who were gradually climbing the city tower.
The two of them, one old and one young, looked twenty-three or fourteen years old, with a handsome face, a rare tall and handsome guy, with an elegant temperament when walking, quite outstanding. If you look at it from the perspective of a martial artist, you can also find that he has steady steps, steady breathing, and restrained spirit, and obviously has good martial arts.
The other person is older, with gray temples and a beard that is not short, making it difficult to identify age, but judging from his body shape and bearing, he is also unusual.
Cheng Bing was in front, the two were behind, and they quickly approached.
"Lord, the minister has a happy event to repay!" Cheng Bing looked very happy, always with a smile on his face.
"Oh? I don't know what the joy is? Wang Xu smiled, and his eyes inadvertently looked at the two behind him.
Of course, Cheng Bing knew what he meant, so he bowed down and took a step back, pointed to the two behind him and said with a smile: "Lord, today the minister wants to introduce two virtuous people!" This is the highly respected Nisan Taishou, Yu Guo, Yu Zhiren! This is Jiangdong geniuses Lu Xun and Lu Boyan! ”
In an instant, Wang Xu's pupils shrank, and he was surprised in his heart: "Deshu." Such a big deal. Why didn't you write a letter earlier? ”
Cheng Bing smiled: "Lord." It's really hard to explain the merits of the two of them, so I thought that the two of them would report to the lord in person, and besides, it would be a surprise to the lord, wouldn't it be wonderful! ”
"Hahaha......" Wang Xu laughed: "You, the Deshu, have scared the soldiers!" ”
At this time, Yu Guo and Lu Xun also bowed and saluted.
"Subordinate to the Kingdom of Yu, meet the King of Chu!"
"Grass people Lu Xun, meet the King of Chu!"
"Huh! You don't have to be polite! Wang Xu stepped forward in person. Hold one in one hand. "This king is so confused now! Boyan is far away in Jiangdong, and Zhiren is far away in Ninan, how can they all come together today? Let this king really surprise constantly! ”
Yu Guo and Lu Xun looked at each other and smiled!
Yu Guo showed a slight look, as if he didn't want to fight with Lu Xun for anything, Lu Xun smiled gratefully, but then turned around: "The king of Chu has been recruited several times, and it is difficult to be gracious, can Bo Yan'an refuse?" I just felt that coming with an empty body was not enough to repay the kindness of the King of Chu, so I thought about doing something first! ”
"Hahaha...... Bo Yan is really handsome. Extraordinary! Wang Xu smiled on the spot.
"The King of Chu has won the award!" Lu Xun smiled, and then said: "I have been called by the King of Chu several times. Contemptible people have the heart to find to serve the lord, but they are sad and have no gift to meet, those ordinary and secular things, the king of Chu is not lacking, and finally think hard, and only to take the end of the inch as a gift to repay the king of Chu's kindness! ”
At this time, Na Yu Guo finally answered with a smile: "King Chu, Lu Boyan arrived in Rinan by boat more than a month ago, and came to Taishou Mansion with his body, but he said that his subordinates were all red and ashamed, and then I thought that the people who were all too old to enter the earth under his subordinates were still tossing with the Shi family, and the King of Chu was a close minister of the first emperor, and he was personally canonized by today's son, and his subordinates were originally the Hanchen of the first emperor, so they should support the king of Chu!" ”
"Hahaha......" Wang Xu smiled heartily, shook his head and said: "Duke Yu is too humble, Your Excellency should be old and strong, how can you say that you are about to enter the ground!" According to this king, it is easy to live to be 100 years old! ”
In fact, he found that this Yu Guo is a very shrewd person, far less than what he seems, and his ability to snatch Lu Xun's words at a critical time shows that he understands people's psychology very well, because if some things are said by Lu Xun himself, there is a suspicion of showing credit, but his ridicule not only makes people feel good about him, but also makes Lu Xun not abrupt.
But he won't debunk it, and quickly beckoned, "Go, go, go!" The wind on this city wall is strong, it is better to go back to the house to talk in detail, the two of you come to the same place, the road is tiring, go back to sit and rest, and then set up a banquet for you to catch the wind and wash the dust! ”
On the way home, Cheng Bing also told the cause and effect of the incident.
It turned out that Lu Xun had the intention to make meritorious deeds first and see Wang Xu again, so he thought hard about the strategy, and finally decided to try to take down the two small border counties of Jiuzhen and Rinan as a gift for the audience.
Rinan is too shou Yu Guo, in fact, he is also Lu Xun's elder, because he and Lu Xun's grandfather Lu Xun were friends of life and death when they were young, until Yu Guo was later transferred to Ninan Taishou, because the region was too far away and the contact was inconvenient, this gradually lost contact, but when Lu Xun was a child, he also heard his father talk about it and knew something about it.
Although this Yu country does not have any great military and political talents, but its conduct and talent are also very respected, governing Ninan County for many years, known for its beneficial government, the indigenous people also admire it, and two geese like to live in the hall of Yu country, every time Yu country travels for official business, the double goose will take off and follow his frame.
After many inquiries and confirmed Yu Guo's character and personality, Lu Xun felt confident and convinced, so he went to Rinan alone, and finally succeeded in persuading Yu Guo with the general trend and many reasons, and he was willing to join the crowd.
However, when talking about these, Wang Xu obviously found that Yu Guo inadvertently showed a nostalgic smile, and he didn't even show any intention to make progress along the way, but looked at Lu Xun from time to time, quite relieved, with a little emotion.
This is not at all like the meaning of wanting to further strive for fame after being persuaded, but it is like the eyes of the elders looking at the outstanding juniors.
Wang Xu is not a hairy boy, he still has this experience, Lu Xun is very young after all, he has not suffered too much since he was a child, he has never traveled far, and he is not particularly able to understand the observation of words and feelings, but he doesn't see it at all.
Come to think of it, this Yu Guoken must not only be persuaded by Lu Xun's words, I am afraid it is a big reason, but also because he has a very deep friendship with Lu Xun's dead grandfather Lu Xun, and after he was moved by Lu Xun, he had the heart to give this credit to Lu Xun.
Otherwise, if you only have the heart to work, how can there be a reason that you don't disclose your own merits at all, but the old god is there, and you will stuff any credit into others! (To be continued......)
