The weather on this day was not too good, the sun was hiding behind the dark clouds, the sky was gray, and it was drizzling, which seemed a little cold.

But this did not stop Wang Xu's habit of practicing martial arts in the morning, and practicing in the rain often had miraculous effects, but when he finished his exercises, he was already wet into a soup chicken, and took a warm hot bath, so he sat in his room and read a book, waiting for Zhou Yu to arrive.

At five o'clock, Zhou Yu held an umbrella full of poems and took a leisurely step, giving alms!

Just approached the courtyard, through the window, I saw Wang Xu sitting in the middle of the house reading, looking at it for a while, and he was already smiling and chanting:

"It's raining, and the grass is green! The mediocre people watch the scenery, and the generals study hard! ”

"Lao humbles himself, not because of exaltation! The people are contending, and the virtuous ministers are dependent on each other! ”

"The rain is falling, and the grass is also related! Fengshen is like jade, wearing green clothes! ”

"Wen is better than Guan Zhong, Wu is over Xiang Yu! The body of the dragon and the tiger, the real husband! ”

Wang Xu knew that it was coming, but he didn't know that he would be able to chant a long song, and waited quietly for him to finish a song, so he laughed and got up to greet him.

"How can this general be so virtuous, how can Gong Jin praise him so much, and where does the grass come from here!"

Zhou Yu smiled and replied: "The general is too modest, but he is contemptible and truthful!" This small courtyard is decently arranged, the flowers and plants are beautifully trimmed, and the poetic drizzle is full of poetry, which has a unique scenery and deserves the name of fragrant grass. ”

"Hahaha...... Gongjin laughed! Wang Xu shook his head and smiled meaningfully: "Even so, the word dragon spirit, this general really doesn't dare to be it!" ”

"Really?" Zhou Yu asked meaningfully.

The two stared deeply. It took a long time before I burst out laughing. They are all people who understand. I couldn't point out the deep meaning, of course, I didn't say more, and turned around and entered the house.

Wang Xu didn't tell the shop to make tea, because there was everything in this independent courtyard, and he personally made tea for Zhou Yu.

"Gong Jin, do you know why you were called here today?"

Zhou Yu looked at the steaming heat and smiled: "When there is progress in the seizure of fine work!" ”

"Not bad!" Wang Xu picked up the teacup. took a sip and said leisurely: "I do have some clues now, but I judge that this matter will not be so simple, not only pointing directly to Yizhou, but some clues seem to involve Jiangdong!" ”

"Oh?" Zhou Yu's face was full of doubts, he looked dazed, and frowned: "This is absolutely impossible, it is impossible for my lord and colleagues to do such a thing, is there a misunderstanding?" ”

Wang Xu kept staring at the change in his face. Continue to deceive him: "Recently, the spy caught some people involved in the rebellion, and the preliminary investigation is from Jiangdong!" ”

"This is a big deal...... Zhou Yu stood up suddenly. His face was full of anger: "Who dares to do this?" The lord and the general are good relatives, who dares to destroy the relationship from it? General, this matter must be strictly investigated, no matter who instigates it, the person behind the scenes must be found out, if my lord learns, he will cooperate with the general to investigate, and will never let this person go. ”

As he spoke, his face showed a thick sense of melancholy, and he sighed: "In this way, the contemptible people can't leave in a short time, for the sake of the relationship between the two families now, the contemptible people must assist the general to investigate and arrest this troublemaker." If you don't check it out for a day, Gongjin won't leave Jingzhou for a day. ”

With his passionate words, Wang Xu was silent on his face, but he was beating the drum in his heart.

How can this be more imposing than himself, not only did he not have a trace of panic, he didn't even say a word about inquiring or getting out, and he also took the initiative to promise to find out before leaving, could it really have nothing to do with him, and his feelings were wrong?

He kept hesitating, but Zhou Yu frowned and thought about it, and only asked out loud after a long time: "General, those situations related to Jiangdong, the contemptible people dare not ask, but can the Yizhou side tell the contemptible people, maybe you can give the general some shallow views!" ”

Wang Xu looked at him deeply for a moment before nodding: "Yes!" ”

Then the relevant information found was slightly deleted, and Zhou Yu was briefly explained.

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Yu's eyes were already bright, and he said decisively: "General, contemptible people inferred that Yizhou will never give up after paying such a price, so even if Zhao Wei is not in Ningyuan, he must still be wandering in Jingnan." The general quickly blocked all the passages to Yizhou and launched a qiē force to arrest him! ”

"As for Qian Zhao, he must be hiding in this Ningyuan County, Ningyuan is now completely closed, where can he go, if there is no soldier on duty who is killed, so that he absconds from the city, he will definitely still be in this city, and he will definitely gain from checking door to door!"

"It's just that you can't make a big fanfare, if that Qian Zhao is a dead soldier, I'm afraid that after learning that he can't escape, he will commit suicide. It's better to make an unannounced visit, to determine its location, hit it with one blow, and let it can't escape, and then you can naturally try to force everything out of its mouth! ”

Saying that, Zhou Yu thought about it, and said with a sincere face: "General, if you find out about the affairs in Jiangdong, I hope to inform you immediately, if there is really such a traitor in Jiangdong, not only will the general be at his disposal, but the contemptible person should also testify in person, so that my lord can give the general a satisfactory explanation." I only hope that the general will see everything clearly, distinguish that this matter has nothing to do with my lord, and don't hurt the harmony of the current alliance. ”

Wang Xu is really out of shape at the moment, Zhou Yu's words, there is no problem, if it is really what he did, how can he not be so calm, and he also gives so many people who are completely to the point.

Today, I blackmailed with words for a long time, and there was no extraordinary move, I don't want to leave like that, I have to catch the real murderer, how can there be such a thief in the world? After all, no matter what, this matter will definitely be investigated to the end, and if it is really what he did, at least he will think of getting out!

With a secret sigh in his heart, Wang Xu then put down the matter and chatted with him until noon, when he was sent back to the place of house arrest.

For several days after that, he had no intention of paying attention to anything else, and was bent on waiting for the news of the spy to search for Qian Zhao.

After coming and going like this, since he left Xiangyang, he has been going south for nearly a month, and it has been more than three months since he withdrew his troops from Yanzhou.

I didn't think that Qian Zhao had not been found here, but he got the information sent by Xiangyang Shan Huai one after another.

Wei Yan defended Yangping Pass to the death, and fought fiercely with the combined forces of the Barbarian, Qiang, and clan clans in Wudu County outside the pass for three months, causing huge casualties to the other side. But it has also suffered a lot of damage. Recently, it has been getting weaker and weaker day by day. Thinking that they were powerless and just barely breathing, the coalition forces relaxed their vigilance and only stepped up their offensive during the day.

Just when they thought that the city was being broken, they didn't expect that these were all illusions deliberately created by Wei Yan, and the cavalry had already withdrawn from Yangping Pass, and Tiandang Mountain, which had been hidden in the pass, rested and waited.

and so that the coalition forces thought they were about to win. When he became more and more careless, Wei Yan suddenly transferred the cavalry back to the pass, and left Yangping Pass late at night to rob the camp.

The coalition army had been fighting for so long, and they were already tired, and they thought that Wei Yan was being beaten weakly, so they didn't arrange much defense at all, but let the soldiers rest fully, eager to take Yangping Pass as much as possible.

At this time, Wei Yan took advantage of the situation and killed him in the camp. It was impossible to organize soldiers to resist, and soon it became a mess.

Wei Yanyong can't be done. Capture the flag, and in the first round of charge, he will kill the big tent of the enemy's army and cut down the handsome flag.

Later, the coalition army was scattered and fled, with countless casualties, and Bao Long also led the soldiers of Yangping Pass to respond, assisted in the pursuit, and defeated the coalition army in one fell swoop.

In this battle, Wei Yan won more with less, completely defeated the invading foreign coalition army, captured nearly 10,000 people, and beheaded more than 30 brave coalition generals along the way, chasing out dozens of miles, and the foreign coalition army was killed and wounded everywhere, bleeding and drifting!

For a time, Wei Yan was famous, and the foreign people were terrified, and he was shocking Hanzhong!

Subsequently, Wei Yan ordered Bao Long to lead 3,000 men to stay behind, and he himself led his troops to Dingjun Mountain to support Zhao Yun and Zhou Zhi.

Since Xu Shu went to Hanzhong, he has been building yì Zhao Yun first to take a steady defense, grinding away the sharp spirit of Yizhou, and then taking the opportunity to break the enemy, during which he repeatedly saw through the conspiracy of Fazheng, although the army was weaker than Yizhou, but it was also able to deal with it, so that it could not advance an inch.

At this time, Wei Yan led the victorious army to arrive, which greatly strengthened the strength and morale, so that the offensive and defensive forms of the two sides were reversed, and the two generals of Yizhou Wu Lan and Lei Tong had already retreated.

This made Wang Xu overjoyed, and finally went to a heart disease, although Fa Zheng was in that battle, the reason why he would keep a hand is still unknown, but at least Hanzhong will not lose.

In that case, everything else can be done slowly.

In addition, Huainan Yuan Shu also made a move.

In the previous battle of Xuzhou, although he failed to take Xuzhou, he easily defeated Liu Bei, grabbed countless money, food and materials, and also incorporated many previous Xuzhou soldiers, and his strength became stronger and stronger.

At this time, Huainan spread a prophecy that "those who represent the Han should be on the high road", Yuan Shu thought that the "way" in it corresponded to his name "Shu" and the table word "highway", and felt that Yuan's ancestors originated from the Chen State in the Spring and Autumn Period, and were the descendants of Shun, Shun is Tude, yellow; Han is fire virtue, red; Replacing red with yellow is the order of operation of the five elements.

So he planned to usurp the throne, just at this time the little emperor was trapped in Cao Yang, and several powerful men who held military power competed with each other, and it had reached the point where even the ministers of the court had people starving to death.

Officials below Shang Shulang all went out to pick wild vegetables by themselves, some starved to death between the broken walls, and some were secretly killed by soldiers, which was extremely miserable and lost more and more prestige.

Therefore, Yuan Shu felt that the time had come, and he could no longer suppress his ambitions, so he summoned his subordinates to discuss the matter of becoming emperor.

Most of his subordinates did not dare to object, only the lord Bo Yanxiang persuaded him, saying that now that the Han Dynasty is not exhausted, it is not the time, and this should not be done, but it has not been adopted. Subsequently, he wrote a letter to all the princes, intending to get support, but except for Lu Bu, who replied noncommittally, Sun Jian wrote a few words of persuasion, but no one responded.

But even so, he still did not give up and began to plan for the emperor, and the matter even reached the point where everyone in the vicinity of Huainan was well known.

Fortunately, at this moment, Liu Bei of Peiguo to the north of him did not dare to care; Lu Bu in Xuzhou in the northeast has no strength to have a trachea; Cao Cao, who occupied a large area further north and northwest, did not want to care for the time being; Sun Jian, who is across the river from his territory in the south, is unintentional; Liu Miao doesn't care at all!

As for Wang Xu, who is separated by many majestic mountains such as Dabie Mountain in the west, he is too lazy to care, how much does this matter to him? Whoever loves to be the emperor is called the emperor, I wish the more chaotic the better, and the princes who are farther away, of course, are beyond the reach of the whip!

Therefore, it is rare that no one condemns his actions, so he sits alone in Huainan and is proud of his heavy troops!
