Jiyin City, summer is scorching.

The cicadas on the branches of the trees were surprisingly not annoying. There are very few pedestrians on the streets, after all, where would anyone casually go on the streets during the war?

After Xu Shu and Shi A said goodbye to Xu Ji and others, they left Juye City and came to Zhang Yan's temporary mansion here.

When he walked inside, Xu Shu saw Shi Ahu's eyes full of divine light, murderous aura, I don't know what happened to Lu Dao, and hurriedly asked in a low voice What is the matter, Shi A glanced at the person leading the way in front of him, and saw that he was completely unaware, so he said slowly in a low voice: "From the moment I came to the street where Zhang Yan's mansion is located, I felt that someone was watching us." ”

Xu Shu knew that masters like Dao Shi A were naturally keen, far better than ordinary people, and said in shock: "What's the matter? Shi A said slowly: "Wait and see, but I think this matter should have nothing to do with Zhang Yan, those people look like someone sent here to spy on Zhang Yan." Those people were just sneaky lookouts, and my feeling of being watched only came after entering this street. ”

When Xu Shu heard this, his eyes flashed with surprise, and he smiled in a low voice: "If that's the case, I know who Lu Dao is." Shi A looked at Xu Shu in amazement, but the latter looked mysterious.

The two entered the conference hall, but saw Zhang Yan was holding a letter to read, frowned, heard the sound of footsteps, raised his head to look, saw that it was the two, overjoyed, jumped up, Da Lu smiled and welcomed the two into the conference hall, after the three of them sat down, naturally there were relatives and soldiers to serve fragrant tea.

Zhang Yan looked at Xu Shu, who was in a hurry to drink the hot tea because he was thirsty. Concerned asked, "Mr. Yuanzhi, how is the lord doing?" ”

Xu Shu shouted: "The sky and the earth are big. Drink the most water, and it's not too late until I've drunk it. ”

Zhang Yan laughed at it. Although Zhang Yan has not joined the Yanzhou Army for a long time, he knows that the military advisors of the Yanzhou Army are all veritable monsters, although this Xu Shu has served Xu Ji very early, but he has been absent from Yanzhou for a long time with Xi Zhong, and Xu Ji is planning in Chang'an, but the name of being free and easy has been circulated under Xu Ji as early as possible, which shows that Xi Zhong is also a good person, but now Zhang Yan sees it, and it really lives up to his name.

Turning his head to look at Shi A, who was sitting there indifferently and silently. Strangely said: "Mr. Shi, aren't you thirsty?" ”

Shi A smiled slightly, and did not speak, Zhang Yan knew that his status was noble, but he was a great Han swordsman, and he could be said to be the number one master of land warfare in the world, and it was normal for him to be a little arrogant, so he didn't think anything about Shi A's attitude, in fact. Shi Ah was already very polite when he smiled at him. Although Zhang Yan is good at kung fu right away, and becoming famous is also a matter of general, his land combat kung fu is even more powerful, otherwise he would not have the name of Feiyan. It was his name that made Shi Ah smile at him a little.

Xu Shu had already drunk tea at this time. With a boost of energy, he smiled at Zhang Yan and said, "You don't have to pay attention to Mr. Shi A, Mr. Shi A's cultivation is extremely high." I think I'm afraid that I have already reached the realm of the so-called Bigu in Taoism, even if I don't eat or drink for ten days and a half, there is no problem. ”

Zhang Yan glanced at Shi A in awe. There was a look of respect in his face. Xu Shu said to Zhang Yan: "The lord asked me to greet you and ask you to take care of everything." Yanzhou strategy has reached the most critical juncture, the lord doesn't want you to have the slightest mistake, the lord said that none of the ten Yuan Shu Zhang Yan is important, the so-called 'gold is easy to get, good will be hard to find'. The lord hopes that he and you will be able to chat and drink tea in Runan, Yuzhou soon. Zhang Yan's eyes flashed with gratitude, but he said with a big smile: "I, Zhang Yan, will definitely not live up to the lord's hope for me." ”

Xu Shu nodded, glanced at the letter on the table, and said indifferently: "What, Zhang Yan, are you in trouble?" Zhang Yan was about to open his mouth to answer, but saw Xu Shu smile and said, "Let me guess,...... Ha! It can't be the matter of Zhen Mi, the eldest lady of the Zhen family, right? ”

Zhang Yan's eyes showed a look of shock, looking at the seemingly unserious guy in front of him, but this eyesight and mind were really a little scary, Zhang Yan realized that Xu Shu was not a waste of fame, and really lived up to the name of a wise man. Shi A also glanced at Xu Shu in surprise, and only then did he understand who Xu Shu's answer was referring to in the person who was monitoring them.

Xu Shu glanced at Zhang Yan, and knew that he had said what Zhang Yan was thinking, so he said to himself: "If someone Xu didn't say anything wrong, then I know what General Zhang Yan is worried about, you must be hesitating whether you should deceive the despicable bandits who kidnapped Miss Zhen Mi into Jiyin City, and then catch them all, but in this way, your identity will be exposed." ”

Zhang Yan said bitterly: "That's right, this letter is a letter from Chen Gong, the new military advisor of Zhang Xun, the commander of Chen's left-behind army, and this letter asks me to pick up the people who were supposed to be kidnapped by Yuan Shu on the other side of the river in Jiyin City. He also said that he would cross the river tonight, and asked me to be ready, and said that he had sent men to the river, and as soon as he received Miss Zhen Mi, he would take Chen Liu to meet Zhang Miao. And I'm only responsible for dealing with the pursuers who might come at me. ”

Xu Shu's eyes flashed, and he snorted coldly: "It's Chen Gong?" Shi A glanced at Xu Shu, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: Fighting wits and fighting power are the same, if you can't meet your opponent in chess, then there will be a lot of fun in this world. I can't help but think of my mortal enemy, the god of war Lu Bu, and I don't know if this unparalleled person in the world can be okay in Chang'an now?

Lu Bu, before I kill you myself, you have to do it yourself!

Xu Shu didn't know what was going on in Dao Shi'a's mind, and sneered at Zhang Yan: "It seems that Chen Gong is suspicious of you!" ”

Zhang Yan smiled bitterly and said: "I can also see this, otherwise what is Chen Gong doing when Yuan Shu kidnaps Miss Zhen Mi and puts me to cross the river?" Since he has a way to cross the river in Jiyin, then he has a way to cross the river on the other side of Chenliu, anyway, this area is under the control of Mr. Liang Xi, which clearly means that he wants to test me. ”

Xu Shu pondered for a long time, and said to Zhang Yan: "I heard the lord say that this Chen Palace's overall view is very powerful, and it is not comparable to the group of idiots under Yuan Shu's hands. Now Yuan Shu has suffered a big loss in Yanzhou, and our Yanzhou army has calculated every step to the top. So far, although your Zhang Yan's army has been fighting with Gao Shun's army and Liang Xi's army on the surface, it has been very lively. However, it did not hurt his muscles and bones, and Yuan Shu had already lost a third of his troops. No matter how slow Chen Gong is, it is normal to suspect you. ”

Zhang Yan smiled bitterly: "But what now? If this Chen Gong suspects me, of course I can stand still, or pretend to cooperate fully, after all, the lord has already sent a shadow to follow behind, and at the last moment, they will naturally make a move, Miss Zhen Mi is of course not in danger, but Chen Gong is suspicious of me. The situation in Chen Liu's battle situation is complicated. ”

Xu Shu smiled and said: "I understand what you mean, if Chen Gong suspects you, all the information he reveals to you in the future may be false, and the so-called flaws are very likely to become a trap against our army." Zhang Yan patted his thigh and said, "That's right." I'm worried about this matter, and I'm thinking about it too much, but fortunately, Mr. Xu Shu is here, I'm relieved. ”

Xu Shu scolded with a smile: "You're a good Zhang Yan, but you'll be lazy." Zhang Yan said with a smile: "Those who can work harder, Mr. Yuanzhi should take care of one or two more." ”

Shi A, who had been silent, said at this time: "If Chen Gong suspects Zhang Yan, you are the same. Yuan and I went straight to your mansion, and I am afraid that this matter is also under the watchful eye of Chen Palace. So he told Zhang Yan about himself and Xu Shu being monitored after entering the city, and the latter's face changed, and he shouted lucky, and said with palpitations: "I'm restless about this matter." I want to send someone to cross the river to General Liang Xi for advice! Fortunately, no order has been given. Otherwise, it will definitely fall into the calculations of the Chen Palace. Turning his head to look at Xu Shu, he said worriedly: "But in this case, Mr. Yuanzhi and Mr. Shi A will be in trouble if they want to leave here." Mr. Shi Ah is a master. Of course, you can leave here without knowing the ghost, but it is difficult for Mr. Xu Shu. Shi Ah nodded slowly.

Xu Shu smiled incomprehensibly and said, "Who said I was going to leave immediately?" Shi A and Zhang Yan were shocked when they heard this. looked at Xu Shu.

Xu Shu said in a deep voice: "Since Chen Gong has already suspected Zhang Yan of you, will it be true that you said that Miss Zhen Mi crossed the river here with you?" Zhang Yan's eyes lit up when she heard this.

Xu Shu snorted coldly: "Don't forget." For Yuan Shu, Miss Zhen Mi is very important, the jade seal is already in his hands, if Miss Zhen Mi, who has the queen's order, is also in his hands, it will be a great help to his reputation. Such an important person, will Chen Gong use her as a test to test Zhang Yan's loyalty? Even if Chen Gong has this heart, how can people in Yuan Shu sit idly by? ”

Zhang Yan nodded, and Xu Shu sneered: "So this matter is most likely to be the fog of Chen Gong's old cloth, Zhang Yan, you don't have to take it to heart at all." What we have to do now is that Chen Gong will not be suspicious of you, because even if you fully cooperate with Chen Gong this time, he will not be half at ease with you. ”

After a pause, Xu Shu snorted coldly: "As for the whereabouts of me and Mr. Shi A, it is not a problem at all, there were no such people when we set off from you to Juye City a few days ago, and now that we are back, as long as we don't cross the river, Chen Gong will never suspect that we are people from Liang Xi's side." ”

Zhang Yan was stunned and said, "Mr. Xu Shu doesn't cross the river? So how do you get in touch with Lord Liang Xi? ”

Xu Shuha said with a smile: "Of course, Mingli and both of us stayed here, but secretly it was Mr. Shi A who contacted on our behalf, so why not?" If Mr. Shi Ah deliberately hides, can there be anyone in the world who can find out Mr. Shi A's whereabouts? Hum! Anyway, if I want to recapture Chen Liu and deal with Chen Palace, what is the difference between my Xu Shu staying here and staying with Mr. Liang Xi? ”

Zhang Yan patted his head, shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm confused." Xu Shu smiled at Shi A and said, "Mr. Shi A, then I'm going to trouble you these days." Shi Ah nodded and said, "Of course." ”

Xu Shu's eyes flashed, and he snorted coldly: "Since Chen Gong wants to make a fuss about Zhen Mi, and he is suspicious of Zhang Yan, then I will accompany you to the end and see who can fight whom!" ”

Shi A frowned and said, "Yuanzhi, what do you want to do?" Don't think it's a big deal for a woman to ruin the lord! ”

Xu Shu smiled: "How can that be? My idea is to turn two things into one thing to solve, Chen Gong left Chen like an iron bucket, and he is suspicious of Zhang Yan, how can we act rashly? However, Zhen Mi's matter is a very good breakthrough, hmph, if the timing of Zhen Mi's crossing the river to Chenliu becomes the timing of our army launching an attack on Chenliu, it will be very ideal. ”

After a pause, he said to Shi Ah in a deep voice: "So I hope that Mr. Shi Ah will personally take charge of this matter after sneaking across the river." I need a full set of information from Yuan Shu's people to contact Chen Gong. ”

Shi Ah nodded, stood up and said proudly: "I'll do this matter." I'm here to go! Listening to Zhang Yan's heart, he was heartbroken.

Xu Shu grabbed Shi A and smiled: "Mr. Shi A, what are you anxious about?" Before that, let's first discard Chen Gong's eyeliner that Zhang Yan put here. ”

Shi Ah said with a murderous look in his eyes: "Kill them all?" Wouldn't that be revealing? Xu Shu shook his head and said, "Of course not." We need to know the specific whereabouts of all the people here from the Chen Gong faction, if I were Chen Gong, I would definitely arrange for Zhang Yan's men to be monitored in the city, and then go out of the city at a specific time every day to contact the same party outside the city, so as to repay you for any troubles here every day, such as the two of us entering the mansion today. If we rashly do away with the spies in the city, once the comrades outside the city can't see their comrades out of the city within the appointed time, they will definitely report back to the Chen Palace in Chenliu immediately. In addition, Chen Gong will definitely send people to keep an eye on the river, so that Zhang Yan can be monitored, and you will send people to report to him. We must have full control of the whereabouts of these people. ”

Shi A and Zhang Yan glanced at each other. Nodding slowly, he knew that Xu Shu was reasonable. Shi Ah asked, "So, when will I cross the river to meet Mr. Liang Xi and clean up those rabbit cubs?" ”

Xu Shu stood up, looked at the sun outside the window, shook his head and smiled: "Mr. Shi, what are you anxious about?" I think it's not too late for you to go and find out their details after we finish lunch, as for crossing the river, isn't our General Zhang Yan going to pick up Miss Zhen Mi tonight? At that time, all the people of Chen Palace will surface. At that point, it's not too late for you to take the opportunity to cross the river. ”

Shi A nodded, but Xu Shu smiled at Zhang Yan: "I'm hungry." I don't know what kind of food General Zhang Yan cooked for me, a Yanzhou spy? Zhang Yan smiled.

After lunch, Shi Ah drifted out of the mansion and easily counter-monitored those suspicious people outside Zhang Yan's mansion, as Xu Shu expected. At dusk in the evening, some of them hurried out of the city disguised as old peasants, followed by Shi A. I followed him until he reached a dense forest outside the West Gate, where he saw a lot of people. Shi Ah eavesdropped, and it was indeed someone from Chen Palace.

The man who sneaked out of the city reported to one of the long-faced men what he had observed outside Zhang Yan's mansion today. Of course, this includes Shi A and Xu Shu's entry into the mansion.

This incident aroused great concern among this group of people, and the result of the discussion was that it was uncertain and that the comrades in the city should be strictly monitored. Shi A sneered, knowing that everything was in Xu Shu's expectations. Knowing that there was nothing valuable about the Dao, he quietly left here and went back to his life.

And Zhang Yan here in accordance with the agreement in Chen Gong's letter, with a large group of men and horses to the Yellow River outside Jiyin City, posing waiting for the answer, the result of waiting is of course nothing, Zhang Yan stood on the edge of the river and concentrated until dawn, and then scolded, and said that he would write to Chen Gong to explain this matter, but if it was really not possible, he would go to Yuan Shu to find an explanation.

Of course, these words were heard word for word by the men of Chen Gong, who was ambushed by the river, and then Zhang Yan led the army back to the camp.

Soon after Zhang Yan went back, the men of Chen Palace, who had been in ambush in the grass by the river all night, stood up one after another to move their muscles, but they didn't know that all this had already been seen by Shi A, who was hiding by the river, and it didn't take long for all the people of Chen Palace to be exposed.

Shi A, who had already figured out everything, went back to explain everything to Zhang Yan and Xu Shu, and then crossed the river in an unsupervised section of the river and went to Liang Xi to resume his life.

Of course, no one knows about Xu Shu's secret fight with Chen Gongming here, but some big things have happened in the world. It's getting more and more incomprehensible.

The men sent by Yuan Shu to Sun Ce brought news that Sun Ce had retreated after receiving Yuan Shu's orders, but in Yangzhou, the fierce battle between Cao Cao, Liu Xuan, and Sun Ce had long since stopped. Both armies held the city and did not fight.

The reaction of claiming to have withdrawn Sun Ce's army was extremely strange, and only one army was divided to retreat to the Lujiang River, while the other army ran to the area of Poyang Lake, and then proposed to repair and stopped.

The reaction of Cao Cao's army was even more strange, completely ignoring the possible surprise attack on the rear brought about by Sun Ce's army's crossing of the river, but not long after Sun Ce's army launched its operation, it began to conquer the strength of the large and small places in the south of the Yangtze River in the name of Liu Xuan, which was called to maintain the dignity of Liu Xuan's Yangzhou assassin history.

At the same time, Yu Ban's army and Zhang Yun's army began a tug-of-war, and Zhang Yun kept in mind Kuai Yue's entrustment of "not admitting it to death", and flatly denied the fact that Jingzhou pursued and killed Chen Zhi's fake Xu Ji.

Yu Ban was naturally happy to pretend to be "furious", and ordered Dian Wei to invite the battle, killing nine generals in Zhang Yun's army in a row, and shocking the Jingzhou army.

Subsequently, Li Yan and Wei Yan, who were escorting grain and grass, arrived.

The arrogant Wei Yan fought against Dian Wei, and fought viciously until thirty rounds, but he was defeated and returned to the battle, but Dian Wei shouted happily.

Although Wei Yan was defeated, he became a famous general in Jingzhou because of this.

Subsequently, Li Yan went to war.

Dian Wei was overjoyed when he saw Li Yan, he had seen this son when he was in the suburbs of Chang'an, and he wanted to fight with Li Yan at that time, but unfortunately he was in a hurry, the time was too short, of course he would not be polite this time. Li Yan also put all his spirit together to deal with Dian Wei, although the two are obviously one party, but at this time, they are going all out, and they will definitely divide the winner and loser.

The two fought viciously for more than 60 rounds, and it was difficult to distinguish between them. After the end, the two sides called in gold. Of course, Dian Wei is left after all, the kung fu moves under his hands are all killing moves, Li Yan is Xu Ji is optimistic about Lu's future after all, and Dian Wei does not dare to do his best, so the two fought a draw, but Li Yan himself knows that even if Dian Wei does not make a killing move and fights again, he will inevitably be exhausted in twenty rounds, and at that time he will be in the palm of Dian Wei's hand.

But after this battle, Li Yan got the name and said: Flower Gun! (To be continued......)
