Wang Xu thought for a moment, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and chattered to himself: "Impossible, impossible!" For most of the day, when the soldiers were also tired, how could it be possible to take Guangchang? As far as I know, Liu Miao has 3,000 people stationed in Guangchang, all of whom are made of tofu? Shattered at the touch of a button? ”

Shan Huai was silent, unable to answer the question.

After a long while, the contemplative Wang Xu raised his head, and suddenly sighed a little weakly: "Hey, send someone to inform Yuzhang Taishou Lai Gong, and tell him to pay attention to Yuzhang's defense in the future, and the main goal of Yuzhang County in the future is to shift from internal affairs to military affairs. ”

"Lord, this is ......" Shan Huai heard something from his words and asked hesitantly.

Wang Xu waved his hand and said categorically: "No, that, Liu Jian can't stand it this time, although Sun Jian can't completely destroy his power, but at least Poyang County is finished, relying only on Jian'an and Luling County, he will be even more difficult to resist in the future, and the general trend has gone." ”

"Think about it, how can it be possible to capture Guangchang in half a day with tired soldiers, I remember what you said was to fight down, not to deceive, he Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are not gods, at most they attack the city with light hooks and ladders, even if they attack at night, it is impossible to take it down in half a day, and the cavalry of Liu Xuan's border battalion can arrive for reinforcements within half a day."

"So, if there is no accident, it must be that there is an internal thief in Guangchang, and now that they have hit the Poyang County Government, but they are still not exposed, it can be seen that this internal thief is very secretive and very skillful, and Sun Ce and others also intend to continue to hide it for a while, so, what do you think will happen?"

Shan Huai pondered for a moment as he was guided. Instantly realized what was wrong. "The lord means. Is the thief still in Liu Xuan's army? ”

"Not bad! That person should have followed the defeat of Guangchang. Then he returned to the Poyang County Government, and now it should be in the city, wait and see, it won't be long before the Poyang County Government will be lost, I speculate that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu should want to subdue Tai Shici! ”

As he spoke, Wang Xu suddenly paused and asked, "Who is the county guard of Guangchang County?" ”

"Yu flipped. The word Zhongxiang, the son of the late Ninan Taishou Yu Xin, was previously the Huiji Taishou Wang Langgong Cao. After Wang Lang was defeated by Sun Jian and fled to the north, he defected to Liu Xuan, who trusted him and asked him to guard the important land of Guangchang. Shan Huai replied.

"Hey! That's right! Wang Xu sighed.

This Yu is an important minister of the Sun family in history, and now I am afraid that he has not run away, and he is still under his command.

But now it's too late to say anything, I thought about it. The spokesman said: "Shan Huai, wait for Sun Jian to take Poyang County." It borders on our Jingzhou, and we need to be careful in the future, although judging from the shape shì that it does not dare to come, but it is better to be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, or to prepare early. You spy shadows should also pay close attention to their actions, increase the intensity of investigation, and never slacken, and report any disturbances in a timely manner, and treat them as Cao Cao. ”

"No!" Shan Huai did not dare to doubt his judgment and bowed down to answer the order.

Then he looked at Wang Xu's face, and then continued: "Lord, Cao Cao really personally led his troops to Sili, and he will arrive in Luoyang in ten days at most!" ”

Wang Xu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What about Yuan Shao?" ”

Shan Huai replied indifferently: "There is still no information coming, and I have specially greeted Hebei in this regard, so it should be that Yuan Shao has not moved!" ”

"Huh! Yuan Benchu! Yuan Benchu! I really don't know what to say about you. Wang Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head, for this matter, now he can't do anything, and he can't stop it if he wants to.

"Shan Huai, you send someone to inform Liu Pan and Yang Ling's second general in Wuguan, let them strengthen their vigilance, and report anything in time, but don't get involved in the affairs of Si Li's side, no matter what kind of doubts, in short, you must not take a step out of Wuguan, and you must not let a soldier enter Wuguan. Remember, this is a death command, no matter which one, no matter what the circumstances, if you violate it, regardless of merit or demerit, you will be beheaded. ”

"Yes!" Shan Huai bowed, looked at Wang Xu's tired face, didn't say anything more, and said respectfully: "Lord, that subordinate has retired first!" ”

"Go ahead!"

Wang Xu waved his hand, ignored it, and closed his eyes quietly.

In the following days, Jingzhou was still in full swing preparing for war, Wang Xu was cheered up with the support of medicine, and only led the main affairs, while Xu Shu also began to take over a large number of military and political affairs to share the pressure for him.

Fortunately, its reputation is not low, and it has not been resisted too much, and with the strong support and assistance of the highest-level civil and military generals in Jingzhou, it is logical to complete the excess.

In his spare days, Wang Xu spends more time with his family.

His father, mother and two aunts often come to the General's Mansion, I don't know if they feel something, they are suddenly a little worried, and often ask him about his body openly and secretly, but Wang Xu has been hiding it.

But after all, it is a family member, and it is extremely difficult to conceal it, Wang Xu takes medicine every day, Cai Yan, Diao Chan, and Zhao Yu have all found out, and at the beginning there were all kinds of excuses, saying that they were recuperating their bodies, but with long-term medication, they all felt wrong.

On this day, Wang Xu was feeding the fish in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and Diao Chan and Cai Yan suddenly came over with sobs.

"Husband!"

"Hmm!" Wang Xu turned around and saw the sad appearance of the two, so he couldn't help but smile and quipped: "What's wrong with the two little beauties?" Crying? ”

Diao Chan just kept whimpering and couldn't speak, Cai Yan held his already bulging belly, his eyes were hazy with tears, and he didn't speak, but spread his hands out, holding the herbs equipped with anti-poison pills in his palms, and spread them out in front of his eyes.

Wang Xu trembled in an instant, waved his hand to slap the herbs off her hand, and said hurriedly: "Yan'er, what are you going to do with these medicines?" Didn't you say you wouldn't be allowed to touch it? How to be disobedient? ”

The reason why he was anxious was that many of those herbs were poisonous, and he was worried about causing accidents, especially now that Cai Yan and Diao Chan were pregnant.

Cai Yan didn't care so much, a pair of beautiful and crystal eyes, soaked in tears, full of sadness: "Husband, these are all poisonous weeds, poisonous weeds!" You eat these poisonous weeds every day! “

Wang Xu's face softened, and he stepped forward to take Diao Chan and Cai Yan into his arms, and said with a smile: "Poisonous herbs can also be used for medicinal purposes, don't make a fuss about you two." Still crying and crying. It's not pretty! ”

Diao Chan doesn't know much about this. Tearfully asked, "Really?" ”

"Well, really!" Wang Xu nodded cheekily, in fact, he was already extremely uncomfortable.

"Liar! You liar, deceive, deceive! Cai Yan was instantly excited and couldn't control herself, constantly patting Wang Xu's chest, tears welling up. Although Yan'er is not proficient in pharmacology, she also loves to read. How much do you know, many of these are things that hurt the body, and there are a few poisonous weeds, how can the world use poisonous weeds to nourish the body? I've only heard of the use of poisonous weeds to cure diseases! ”

"Yes...... But ......" Speaking of this, Cai Yan had already choked up, and said intermittently: "Can ...... Is it the husband who takes these medicines...... How long has it been? Since Jing Nan came back, he has ...... I just kept eating it, and I don't ...... until now Not only is it not good, but the medicinal herbs are getting more and more ...... The more you pile up, the more you ...... Clearly it is to protect ...... Stay alive...... Still...... And lie to us. ”

Seeing Cai Yan crying so sadly. Wang Xu was silent, what else could he say now. There was no point in explaining, and he hugged the two peerless beauties tighter in his arms, his chin rubbing his black hair, and he was speechless for a long time.

"Brother Xu!" Suddenly, Diao Chan called out this title that had not been called for a long time, and her voice was weak and helpless, as desolate and lonely as the little girl back then. "Sue Sù Chang'er, okay?"

"Chang'er ......" Wang Xu chattered to himself, this is Diao Chan's early name, Ren Hongchang.

Facing the sad gazes of the two peerless beauties, he understood that he couldn't hide it, and finally sighed lightly, took a deep breath, and said word by word: "If there is no antidote, I can only live for less than two years, I'm sorry!" ”

"Two years?" Diao Chan only felt that his eyes were dark, and his whole body softened, but fortunately, Wang Xu hugged him tightly.

Although Cai Yan was also soft, he still gritted his teeth and asked, "Is there a way to save it?" ”

"There is a chance, but it is small, still trying!" Wang Xu said bluntly.

Suddenly, Diao Chan and Cai Yan didn't know what to say, they just buried themselves in Wang Xu's chest and cried, and the surging tears soaked their clothes.

"Boom!" There was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground in the distance.

Wang Xu looked at it from afar, and instantly saw Zhao Yu fainting on the ground, and the leaves were flying, obviously falling from the tree, and he was in a hurry. "Rain!"

Diao Chan and Cai Yan also reacted, their faces full of panic.

Wang Xu and Diao Chan hurriedly rushed over, and although Cai Yan held his stomach a little inconvenient, he also sped up his pace.

"Rain, rain!"

called twice, and seeing that Zhao Yu did not answer, Wang Xu hurriedly picked him up and hurried back to the room. "Cicada, bring the medicine kit quickly!"

"Hmm!"

After a while, when Wang Xu was bandaging his wounds, Zhao Yu suddenly woke up, and the moment he saw him, he suddenly hugged his neck tightly and cried bitterly: "Brother Xu, you won't die, you won't die, right?" Isn't that right? ”

"Yu'er, don't move, I'll help you bandage your wounds first!" Wang Xu frowned.

Zhao Yu cried stubbornly: "No, you sue me first, you won't die, otherwise I won't take it, it's all death anyway, I'll die with Brother Xu!" ”

"Okay, I'm not going to die, wrap up the wound first!" Wang Xu was helpless, so he had to coax first.

didn't think that as soon as these words came out, Zhao Yu cried even more fiercely. "No! You lied to me, I heard it just now, woo woo woo ......"

Wang Xu had no choice but to break his hand and press her to bandage her.

But Zhao Yu's crying instantly hooked up the sorrow of Cai Yan and Diao Chan, and then tears poured out, and he cried in a moment, and for a while, Wang Xu only felt that his head had become as big as two.

In fact, he was also very painful, even more painful than anyone else, he was reluctant to them, reluctant to have all the qiē, and the pressure was greater, at this time, hearing the cry, feeling that annoying sense of powerlessness, made him very annoyed, and the love became more and more difficult to control, but after a moment, it finally broke out suddenly.

"I'm not dead, why are you crying? Crying and mourning? As he spoke, he also felt a wave of sadness welling up in his heart, and tears swirled in his eyes.

But then she is a peerless beauty, and she is also a woman after all, and the three beautiful women were yelled at by him like this, and their sadness was even worse, and they cried even more fiercely.

Looking at their appearance, he was both painful and distressed, but he couldn't help it, when he was anxious, Xu Shu's gentle and sad voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Husband, you go and be quiet, I'll comfort them." ”

"Hey! It's good. Wang Xu nodded, then looked at the three beauties who were crying, and said apologetically: "I didn't mean to be angry with you just now, I actually don't want to see you sad!" ”

After speaking, he didn't know how to explain it, so he suddenly waved his sleeves and strode out of the door.

But as soon as he walked into the courtyard, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a small figure squatting in the corner, lonely and weak.

"Yingying, why are you here?" Wang Xu asked.

When the little girl heard this, she didn't say a word, she rushed over directly, took his hand and ran towards the small lake.

Wang Xu strode forward and asked suspiciously, "Yingying, what is this going to do?" ”

Xiao Yingying still didn't speak, just bit her lower lip, tears swirling in her eyes, until she walked to the lake, then pulled Wang Xu to sit down, pointed to the lake and said: "Brother, sit, my sister said before she died, there is a river god in the water, as long as you pray sincerely, you can be blessed." ”

Wang Xu smiled, touched her head, and did not deny it. "Really? If only there was a God! ”

"Yes, there must be! My sister said that after she died, she went to the river god, and she would always look at me and bless me, and it was my sister who blessed me with meeting my brother, and now I also asked my sister to bless my brother, so that my brother would not die. Xiao Yingying's face was full of tears, and she bit her lip and said.

At this moment, Xiao Yingying seemed so lonely, so weak, so desolate, and so pathetic, for the young her, her sister's lie before her death was probably the only motivation for her to survive hard.

But did she really believe it? Or do you have to convince yourself? Or is it an escape in itself?

Wang Xu didn't know, and of course he wouldn't refute it, he gently took her into his arms and said with a smile: "Yingying, I don't believe in the river god, but I believe in you, if you think there is, then there must be!" ”

"Hmmm! There must be. ”

Xiao Yingying showed a smile, she couldn't tell what kind of taste it was, whether it was sadness, hope, or stupidity!

"In the future, Yingying prays for her brother here every day, and the river god and sister will definitely bless her brother, so that my brother will not die!"

"Well, then it's up to Yingying!" Wang Xu nodded with a smile and said gently: "Brother really doesn't want to die, I want to watch Ying Ying grow into a beautiful woman, and watch Ying Ying get married!" ”

"When you get married, do you have beautiful new clothes to wear?" Children come and go quickly, find hope, and soon be happy, even if that hope is simply illusory.

Wang Xu scratched the bridge of her small nose and said with a smile: "Silly girl, of course there is, very beautiful and beautiful new clothes, the most beautiful clothes in your life!" ”

Xiao Yingying looked forward to it for a while, and suddenly asked, "Then can you let Yingying wear it first?" ”

"Of course not, you can only wear it when you get married!"

"Why?"

"This ...... There is no reason, in short, I can only wear it at that time! ”

"But can't you wear it now? What if Yingying dies before she gets married? My sister didn't get married, so she went to the river god and didn't wear beautiful clothes! ”

"What did the little girl say? You won't die, won't your sister bless you! ”

"Oh! yes, but my sister didn't wear the best clothes! ”

"Hahahaha...... Don't worry, your sister will have a lot of beautiful clothes to wear at the river god, don't worry. ”

"Hmmm......"

The two of them sat quietly on the edge of the lake, pulling some things that couldn't be beaten with eight poles, and gradually showed a heartfelt smile...... (To be continued......)
