Chapter 205: Capture the Throne (4)
However, it was precisely when he heard this that Chen Zhi realized that the person he was following was actually a member of the Xin family, and it seemed that he was the same generation as Xin Ping and Xin Ming, but this made Chen Zhi feel strange, he didn't understand why the person from the Xin family in front of him still threw himself at Yuan Shao when Xin Ping had now expressed his estrangement from Yuan Shao, could it be that the Xin family was a two-headed snake, making a wall grass, and falling to the strongest side? Of course, Chen Zhi was not surprised at all that Guo Tu associated the robbery of grain with himself, if he couldn't even think of this, then he was not worthy of being Yuan Shao's adviser.
I only heard a frustrated sigh at this time: "That Zhang He is indeed a talent, but unfortunately he can't be used by me, and now he is drinking all day long because of the suppression and exclusion of others, which is really a sigh." ”
Tian Feng was silent for a long time, and said with a smile: "It is not difficult to subdue Zhang He, after all, Zhang He has been neglected in the past year, if we show favor to Zhang He now, then Zhang He will definitely be grateful, why worry that he will not defect to Ben Chu Gong at that time?" ”
Hearing Tian Feng's words, Chen Zhi, who was lying on the roof, couldn't help but sneer: You only think of Zhang He now, but I'm afraid it's too late. Guo Tu also smiled at this time: "We'll talk about this later, now we have to find out whether Guo Jia is dead or not." ”
Frustratedly said: "Actually, no matter whether Guo Jia dies or not, I think the Zhen family will definitely set up a mourning hall tomorrow, and I will know when I try it." After a pause, he said: "Note, you are a member of the Xin family, and you have been working in the Zhen Mansion for more than half a year, no one should doubt you, it is best for you to handle this matter, you should have the opportunity to get close to Guo Jia's body," the person who turned his back to Chen Zhi responded after hearing this.
I only heard Guo Tu smile and said, "Everyone." Now we know that if Guo Jia pretends to be dead. He is nothing more than trying to lure us into appearing, or to create a false appearance for the primordial prince through us. Then use our misjudgment to deal with Ben Chugong, you must know that we assassinated Guo Jia in the original hope of destroying the relationship between Xu Ji and Han Fu, if Guo Jia is not dead, it is very likely that this matter in front of us will be Xu Ji, or the bureau jointly arranged by Guo Jia and Han Fu. But have you ever thought about what if this Guo Jia is really dead? So how will the angry Xu Ji react? As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Tian Feng said: "Can the public rule be clear? Guo Tu smiled coldly and said: "If Guo Jia is really dead today, then everything is easy to say, but if Guo Jia is not dead." I'm going to turn Guo Jia into a dead man, too. After a pause, he said: "If Guo Jia pretends to be dead, he will definitely take some measures in order to get through the confusion in a public occasion like the mourning hall, such as taking medicine and faking death, this kind of medicine Guo knows that there are many ways, after taking the medicine, the body can become cold for a certain period of time, the heartbeat slows down and the blood flow slows down, even if you use your hand to check the pulse, it will not be obvious, and if others don't pay attention, it will be the same as a dead person." If Guo Jia pretends to be a dead man, this method is a shortcut. The crowd was speechless. Apparently intimidated by Guo Tu's extensive knowledge. Even Chen Zhi, who was eavesdropping, nodded unconsciously.
At this time, Guo Tu sneered again: "I have a needle here, which is coated with venom, which can be said to seal the throat with blood." It is indicated that Tian might as well use this needle to stab the heart part of Guo Jia's body, if Guo Jia is really dead, it will be the best. If Guo Jia was not dead but was pretending to be dead, he would be stabbed by this poisonous needle. Guo Jia will die immediately, and from the outside. I can't see that the person who was pricked by the needle was poisoned and died, hum, I want Xu Ji to eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, and I can't say if I have suffering. turned Guo Jia's fake death into a real death, and he had to be angry with Han Fu at the end, and then Xu Ji and Han Fu had a bad relationship, and a big war was inevitable, and Ben Chu Gong had a chance to take advantage of it. If Han Fu really offended Xu Ji, I am afraid that there is no one in the Central Plains who can, and no one will be willing to help him, so at the end of the day, Han Fu, who has no way to ask for help, has to come to ask Ben Chu Gong to join the army in Jizhou. ”
The man who was followed by Chen Zhi said, "The key to the problem is how Xu Ji can completely vent his anger on Han Fu. Frustrated Zhu said with a smile: "Note, in my opinion, this is not a big problem, after all, the crossbow arrows used to shoot Guo Jia are specially made in the Jizhou army, and the crossbow arrows are now completely managed by Zhao Fu and Cheng Jian in Jizhou, without the consent of the two people, the crossbow arrows are completely impossible to leak, these two people are Geng Wu Guanchun's sworn friends, and now that Guo Jia has been assassinated, the two of them can't say clearly, and this in itself is a good excuse to provoke the relationship between Xu Ji and Han Fu." "The crowd said yes.
After the frustration was finished, Guo Tu said coldly again: "If it is possible, we can also rectify the Zhen family by the way, hum!" actually didn't give Ben Chu Gong face, laughed at Yuan Xi Gongzi in public, and openly confronted Ben Chu Gong, playing the trick of pretending to be a robber and robbing grain, I really don't know whether to live or die! ”
Hearing this, Fu Zhi also spoke: "As long as Xu Ji starts to deal with Han Fu, we will win this game of chess." At that time, the Zhen family will not be able to look at Ben Chugong's face and behave as a person? Everyone laughed when they heard this.
At this time, Chen Zhi, who was eavesdropping on the room, was dumbfounded, his back was covered with cold sweat, and even his night clothes were soaked, and he was blown by the wind, only then did he realize that he was already sweating. As Guo Jia said, none of these people in the house are easy to match, especially Tian Feng, Guo Tu and Fu Zhu's strategies are all vicious, and Rao is Chen Zhi is also a talented person, but for a while, he doesn't know how to resolve it.
After listening for a long time, Chen Zhi had no news worth referring to, except for knowing that the person he was following was Xin Ping's younger brother Xin Bi and his brother were out of harmony, so he hurriedly and quietly jumped out of the Fu Mansion and went straight to the Zhen Mansion. Now he must inform Guo Jia of the information he has received to deal with it, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
On the third watch of the month, in Guo Jia's hut in Zhen Mansion, Mrs. Zhang's mother and daughter had of course left a long time ago, and at this time, Guo Jia, Zhang Gu and Chen Zhi were sitting in the house, and Guo Jia and Zhang Gu listened to Chen Zhi's reconnaissance together. And Xun You left long before the gate of Yecheng was closed, and he was also anxious to report the specific situation of Yecheng to Xu Ji.
When Guo Jia listened to Chen Zhi's report without omitting at all, his eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "He is worthy of being the first general under the command of the lord." Uncle Zhi, you did a good job, I didn't expect things to go so fast. ”
Chen Zhi was stunned when he heard this. Unexpectedly, Guo Jia not only did not feel a headache because of the situation in front of him, but enjoyed it so much. However, Chen Zhi, who already knew Guo Jia's character very well, also reacted quickly, obviously the first army division under the scheming horse tent in front of him had already thought of a countermeasure. I couldn't help but look at Guo Jia expectantly with Zhang Gu, who had already arranged for Xun You to come back from the city and received the method of fake death sent by Fan Tao.
Seeing that the two of them were looking at him, Guo Jia smiled indifferently, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "We will plan it, let's start with this Xinbi first!" ”
Seeing the puzzled look on the faces of the two people in front of him, Guo Jia narrowed his bright eyes, and his pale face was outlined in a thick and dignified manner under the cover of the light. He slowly explained: "This Xin Bi is indeed a ruthless footman, who has been hiding incognito for so long inside the Zhen family without being discovered. But guess Xin Bi contributed so much to Yuan Shao, does the Xin family know about Lu Dao? ”
Chen Zhi frowned when he heard this: "I think Xin Bi is doing this behind the back of the entire Xin family, otherwise there will definitely be Xin Ping among the people present today." If you consider it from the perspective of family status, Xin Bi has no way to compare with Xin Ping at all. Even if the Xin family was still supporting Yuan Shao, it would not be Xin Bi's turn to speak. ”
Guo Jia also smiled after hearing Chen Zhi's answer and said: "Uncle Zhi, your thinking is becoming more and more thoughtful, in my opinion, this Xin Bi is completely used by Tian Feng and others. Once Xin Bi's help to Yuan Shao was discovered, then the Xin family had no other way out but to fully support Yuan Shao. In other words. This idiot is being used without knowing it! ”
But at this time, Zhang Gu, who was present, still didn't know why, and he asked suspiciously: "Xin Bi's helping Yuan Shao is his own behavior, what does it have to do with the entire Xin family?" The Xin family can completely abandon Xinbi's. ”
Chen Zhi glanced at Zhang Gu and explained indifferently: "It is the lord's practice to harm others, but other places are different from those under the lord's rule. If one person makes a mistake, it is very likely that the entire clan will be uprooted, and the Xin family does not know the rules of the lord of the Dao. If they knew that Xin Bi was still helping Yuan Shao, they were afraid that they would immediately force the Xin family to throw themselves into Yuan Shao again. ”
Zhang Gu finally came to his senses when he heard this.
At this time, Guo Jia touched his chin. If he thought about it, he said: "So this stupid person Xin Bi doesn't understand the use of Tian Feng and others against him at all. I thought I was really taken seriously! Hum! If I pretend to be dead tomorrow and lie on the spiritual bed and be stabbed by this Xin Bi with the poisonous needle that Guo Tu gave him, Tian Feng and the others can completely threaten Xin Ping that in the future, once the lord tracks down the real murderer who killed me. As soon as I heard that it was Xin Bi's own hand, the entire Xin family would be slaughtered, how can you say that Xin Ping still has a choice? ”
Looking at the two people who were thinking about their words, Guo Jia immediately smiled dumbly and said, "Why don't I let Xin Bi prick a needle tomorrow?" ”
When Zhang Gu heard this, he immediately changed color and said, "How can this be? General Shuzhi said that the poison on Guo Tu's needle can seal his throat with blood, and he can kill people in an instant, and there will be no painful signs of struggle, how can Mr. do this? ”
Hearing this, Chen Zhi patted Zhang Gu's shoulder and said with a big smile: "You guy is really worrying about the sky, don't you know the military advisor?" ”
Guo Jia looked at Zhang Gu with an anxious face, and warmth swelled in his heart, but at the moment he was still calm and said: "You don't have to worry, tomorrow I will put a piece of meat on my entire chest, even if Xin Bi stabs me with a poisonous needle, it will only stab the flesh, wearing clothes, who can see the subtlety in it?" ”
Zhang Gu finally relieved himself when he heard this.
At this time, Guo Jia said in a deep voice again: "I said that Uncle has made a great contribution so far, because after Uncle's reconnaissance so far, the situation has been reversed, and the most advantageous thing now is that we have fully understood the other party's strategy, but the other party does not know our next move at all, but still thinks that it is all in their hands. ”
After a pause, Guo Jia continued: "If I am not mistaken, once Xin Bi performs the task given to him by Guo Tu, I am afraid that Tian Feng and others will immediately go to Xin Ping to threaten him to take refuge in Yuan Shao, we might as well talk to Xin Ping after Tian Feng has found Xin Ping, and tell him that all Yuan Shao's plans are in our hands, and if we follow Yuan Shao, we will definitely die, otherwise, if we take refuge in the lord, then the Xin family can be preserved." Ha, if you win him over. It will be very beneficial for us. And in the future, it will be much easier for the lord to implement the set of things he left in Chen in Jizhou, after all, the Xin family is second only to the Zhen family and the Xun family in Jizhou. As long as the handle of the Xin family falls into our hands, why don't we let it go? And the Xun family. Soon it will have to be used by the Lord."
Chen Zhi suddenly said: "It turns out that the military advisor wants to win over Xin Ping and then make Xin Ping pretend to join Yuan Shao, so that he can cooperate with us inside and outside, but the trouble is how to make Xin Ping believe us?" ”
Guo Jiaha said with a smile: "If Xin Ping defects to Yuan Shao, then the reason must be because I died in the hands of Xin Bi, if I, a person who will die in the eyes of others, suddenly appears in front of Xin Ping, how do you say Xin Ping will react?" ”
Chen Zhi was stunned when he heard this, and then he laughed and said, "That must be half scared to death, and I'm afraid that I will immediately dispel the idea of throwing myself at Yuan Shao." ”
Guo Jia nodded and said, "That's exactly, but just in case, I will also tell him that Tian Feng has our people." If he dares to play any tricks, he will not die well! ”
Chen Zhi and Zhang Gu were stunned when they heard this, obviously feeling extremely inexplicable about the "own person" in Tian Feng that Guo Jia was referring to.
Chen Zhi simply asked, "Could it be that the military advisor wants to bluff and stabilize Xin Ping?" ”
Guo Jia shook his head and said, "How could I take such a risk? I'm referring to Zhang He. ”
Hearing this explanation, Zhang Gu and Chen Zhi also suddenly realized, and immediately admired Guo Jia, and Zhang Gu even exclaimed: "I see! Mr. is right, since Tian Feng and the others want to win over General Zhang He so much, then we might as well turn General Zhang He into Tian Feng's undercover agent, and see that Tian Feng and they are not dead this time! ”
Chen Zhi looked at Guo Jia when he heard this: "So the military advisor wants Zhang He to spy on Xin Ping?" ”
Guo Jia nodded. smiled at Chen Zhi and said: "You send a message to Zhang He, tell him that Tian Feng and others want to win him over and ask us to be an undercover agent, and tell him not to agree immediately, it is best to push and do it halfway." Well, it's best to bring out a trace of dissatisfaction with Yuan Shao because Yuan Shao doesn't trust him, so that it can be realistic. ”
Chen Zhi smiled understandingly when he heard this, and then said cheerfully: "Chen Zhi knows." ”
And Guo Jia smiled at Chen Zhi at this time and added: "You go and tell Zhang He." I invited his guests and let him continue drinking in the Heroes Building. The more you drink, the better, and keep going drunk. As long as you're not really drunk. ”
Chen Zhi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then immediately understood Guo Jia's intentions, and smiled at Guo Jia: "I will definitely let Zhang He play a good trick, ha, a down-and-out hero, and finally meet the master, Tian Feng is no matter how clever he is, he is afraid that he will not escape the calculations of the military division!" ”
Guo Jia nodded and said: "Be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, none of Tian Feng, Guo Tu and others are easy to mess with." A bad one will be exposed in front of them. By the way, Zhang Gu, you arrange a room for Zhang He to be easy for us to eavesdrop. The same is true for that Tian Feng and Xin Ping. ”
Zhang Gu said strangely when he heard this: "How did Mr. know that the secret conversation between Dao Tian Feng and Xin Ping will definitely be in the Hero Building?" ”
Guo Jia glanced at Zhang Gu and smiled: "The question is, do they have anything more suitable?" ”
Zhang Gu lowered his head and thought about it, so he smiled embarrassedly.
I saw Guo Jia's eyes flashing with terrifying brilliance, and said to Chen Zhi and Zhang Gu: "The last thing we have to deal with is Han Fu, Han Fu has not known that I am pretending to be dead until now, but Tian Feng and others are right, if I really die, the lord will definitely be furious, and he will directly send troops to deal with Han Fu, plus Tian Feng and others are deliberately provoking behind their backs, in this case, Han Fu can only ask Yuan Shao for help, if so, why don't we do it?" ”
Chen Zhi and Zhang Gu immediately thought that Tian Feng and others said that the crossbow arrows used to assassinate Guo Jia were controlled by Zhao Fu and Cheng Lian, and now that Han Fu had died under the crossbow arrows for Guo Jia, how could they not be flustered? As long as Fu Zhu and the others provoke the timid and fearful Han Fu a little, Han Fu will immediately throw himself at Yuan Shao.
At this time, Guo Jia continued: "Once Han Fu throws himself to Yuan Shao, Tian Feng and the others will definitely ask Han Fu to use a strategy to stabilize the army to the lord, and on the other hand, open the border to welcome Yuan Shao to lead the army into Jizhou. And the first person they have to deal with is the Zhen family. ”
Chen Zhi obviously had a certain relationship with the Zhen family because of his long-term relationship, and when he heard this, his eyes flashed sharply and said: "Yuan Shao is wishful thinking, but I'm afraid that it won't sound!" ”
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Uncle Zhidon't be able to hold his breath, we still have the elite foot of the shadow in our hands outside Yecheng City, and the Zhen family still has at least 50,000 family soldiers to use, and it is not easy for Yuan Shao to move the Zhen family." ”
Chen Zhi snorted coldly when he heard this: "Now the family soldiers of the Zhen family are assisting Han Fu in the defense of Yecheng, and it can be said that the entire Yecheng is under the control of the Zhen family. Yuan Shao's strength has been greatly reduced now, what qualifications does he have to talk about cleaning up the Zhen family? ”
But Guo Jia's face did not show the meaning of agreement, he just changed his posture slightly and then looked at the candle flame on the desk, his eyes showed a dazzling light, obviously thinking of something. (To be continued......)
