After the meeting, everyone dispersed, as for Jia Xu's suggestion, someone will naturally implement it, of course, in the name of Wang Yun, the regent, issued the appointment of Cao Bao, of course, the words are full of caution, just to say that Xuzhou can not be left without an owner for a day, Cao Bao is a virtuous man in Xuzhou, can temporarily assassinate the history of Xuzhou, take care of Xuzhou affairs, and wait until Xu Ji comes back to hand over Xuzhou's local affairs to Xu Ji to manage.

And Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu were left behind by Wang Yun, the purpose of course was to discuss the attack on Hanzhong and Yizhou, including Lu Bu.

When Xu Ji came to the study where Xu Ji peeked at Wang Yun and his baby daughter on that day, the four of them sat down, Wang Yun pondered for a while, and said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, you are about to send troops, how sure are Hanzhong and Yizhou that they can be taken." ”

Jia Xu said indifferently: "Lord Situ can wait for good news, and I have my own arrangements for the affairs of Hanzhong and Yizhou." In time, adults will see the results. ”

Wang Yun sighed when he heard this and said: "I'm not worried about anything else, I naturally know Wen He's skills, but Liu Yan's power relationship is too complicated, I'm just afraid that Wen and you will inevitably have trouble when they send troops outside......"

Jia Xu interrupted: "I know what Lord Situ is thinking, but in fact, we can only wait and see what happens about Lord Yang Biao. ”

Wang Yun didn't expect Jia Xu to talk about his own affairs all of a sudden, and he couldn't help but be stunned, Lu Bu was simple-minded, of course he couldn't think about it so much, so he couldn't help but ask: "Lord Yang Biao?" What does Lord Yang Biao have to do with Mr. Wenhe's attack on Liu Yan? ”

Jia Xu glanced at Lu Bu and said indifferently: "Although Wenhou is brave and brave, he still doesn't know much about this kind of thing in the political arena. In Chang'an, Lord Yang Biao is an important minister on the same level as Lord Situ. has a wide range of contacts, although Yuan Shu is a thief. But the Runan Yuan family is his family, and during the Chang'an Rebellion, Ma Teng came to Chang'an after listening to his orders. And Ma Teng and Han Sui are Liu Yan's good friends......"

When Lu Bu heard this, he suddenly said, "I see. Only then did I understand what Jia Xu was referring to.

However, Jia Xu knew what Wang Yun was really worried about, and said with a smile: "If it were in normal times, Lord Situ would not be so worried, but now it is naturally a little different." ”

Lu Bu opened his mouth to ask, but Wang Yun coughed and diverted the topic, and began to ask Zhang Xiu about other things. After a little more talking, they all dispersed. But Jia Xu knew that Dao had achieved his goal. That further increased the contradiction between Wang Yun and Yang Biao.

Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu and Lu Bu rode out of the streets of Wang Yun's Situ Mansion, turned into Chang'an Avenue, crossed the palace wall and moat, and were lined with the majestic mansions of princes and generals. At this time, Chang'an, which has experienced many ups and downs, is gradually recovering its vitality, and the population on the streets is gradually increasing, at least the people have smiles on their faces. It was no longer the slightest disturbance that the people on the streets fled home. It can be seen that Wang Yun still has a certain ability to govern the locality, otherwise Chang'an would not be in this situation now.

But even so, Jia Xu still doesn't believe that Wang Yun is a talent who sweeps away the troubled times, let alone compared with Xu Ji. is far from Cao Cao, who is now quite down, and even Shao Yuan Shao is much stronger than him. The current Chang'an seems to be stable, but in fact it is nothing more than a false peace. Because Wang Yun simply did not have the armed strength to rely on to protect Chang'an, he and Zhang Xiuwan had already joined Xu Ji. And he is already a person who is about to go on an expedition, and there is only one Lu Bu in Chang'an City who can rely on the military. But this Lu Bu is really not worthy of the trust of others, how can he be reassured? Even if these are put aside, Lu Bu himself is not good at commanding troops, and is longer than charging into battle. And now Wang Yun already has this feeling about Lu Bu, judging from the hesitant attitude of appointing Cao Bao as the assassin of Xuzhou just now, he knows that Wang Yun is also guarding against Lu Bu, and Wang Yun does not want the powerful Lu Bu to be too powerful. Although Lu Bu is stubborn, he is not a fool, and after a long time, he will of course notice it, so the breakdown of the relationship between Lu Bu and Wang Yun is expected.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Lu Bu will not break up with Wang Yun, Lu Bu is definitely not a person who can rely on protecting Chang'an, this person's stubbornness and self-use caused him to attach too much importance to his martial arts, but he didn't care about strategy, so it was easy to be fooled. Therefore, only from the perspective of safety, Chang'an is full of hidden dangers, not to mention that Chang'an has a Yang Biao who Wang Yun is now very guarded against?

Thinking of this, Jia Xu sighed.

Lu Bu, who had been talking and laughing with Zhang Xiu, turned his head and said to Jia Xu: "Mr. Wenhe, I still don't know one thing, I hope Mr. Wenhe will tell me." ”

Jia Xu said indifferently: "I know what Marquis Wen wants to ask, in fact, it is a very normal thing for there to be a conflict between Lord Wang Yun and Lord Yang Biao, and this matter has to start with the establishment of the regent." When Chang'an was in turmoil, in fact, the person who planned the entire Chang'an plan was not only Lord Wang Yun, but Lord Yang Biao, it can be said that the two adults are pillars of the country, and the merits of the two are inseparable from each other, but in the proposal of the regent proposed by Yanzhou, Pian Pian only mentioned Lord Wang Yun, as for Lord Yang Biao, he didn't mention it at all, of course, this matter has nothing to do with Lord Wang Yun, but if anyone stands in the position of Lord Yang Biao, how can he not be angry? ”

Lu Bu was silent for a long time before he said: "Mr. Wenhe is reasonable, if this matter is changed to me, I will not be able to be so free and easy, and deal with this matter calmly." ”

Jia Xu sighed and said: "It is this truth, and at this time, the incident between Liu Yan and Yuan Shu happened, and it is reasonable for Lord Wang Yun to suspect that Lord Yang Biao is dissatisfied with him." ”

Zhang Xiu picked up a sentence on the side: "Wen Hou, you and I are all confidants of Lord Wang Yun, so naturally we can say everything, speaking from the heart, although our Lord Wang Yun is a hero, but sometimes he is too stubborn, in fact, all kinds of contradictions between him and Lord Yang Biao are easy to solve, but we just can't interject." ”

Of course, Lu Bu also discovered this characteristic of Wang Yun, and sighed quietly: "Zhang Xiu, what you said is right. Lord Situ is sometimes not very broad-minded and is too protective of others. He turned his head to look at Jia Xu and said, "So I don't know if I want to thank Mr. Wenhe now." It's better to complain about Mr. Wenhe. ”

Of course, Jia Xu knew what Lu Bu was referring to, and immediately pretended to be very interested. Slowing down the horse, he pretended to be surprised: "Oh? I don't know what Wenhou refers to? ”

Lu Bu smiled: "Of course, it is Cao Bao who served as the assassin of Xuzhou. You also know the character of Lord Wang Yun. But you suggested that Cao Bao should be appointed as the assassin of Xuzhou, isn't this harmful to me? ”

Jia Xu pretended to say suddenly: "It turns out that Wen Hou is referring to this matter, I see that Wen Hou has thought a lot, and my proposal to appoint Cao Bao as the assassin of Xuzhou is out of consideration for the overall strategic situation of our Chang'an, and it is not to curry favor with Wen Hou." Although Lord Wang Yun is very protective of people, this matter is very beneficial to him, and Lord Wang Yun has no reason to oppose it. It doesn't matter if Lord Wang Yun is a little unhappy now, after all, time will tell, don't make Lord Wang Yun and Lord Yang Biao in this situation. Originally, they were all people who had meritorious service to the country. ”

Lu Bu sighed and stopped talking, but Jia Xu was amused in his heart, knowing that the contradiction between Lu Bu and Wang Yun did not start today, and the matter of Xuzhou Que Xuan was the fuse for the crack in the harmonious relationship between the two. His words just now were to provoke Lu Bu's dissatisfaction, indeed, he was also contributing to the country, why was Wang Yun now in power and could ignore the existence of everyone?

This kind of thought once arose in Lu Bu's mind. It will definitely not disappear again, but will take root and sprout in Lu Bu's mind like a seed, and sooner or later Lu Bu will burst out. It's not bad to lay this foreshadowing before leaving Chang'an. As for Yang Biao, he doesn't have to go by himself, and now the contradiction between Yang Biao and Wang Yun is already obvious.

I'm thinking about it. Lu Bu sighed and said, "I'll talk about this later, in short, it's useless to think too much, right." Wenhe, when are you leaving? ”

Zhang Xiucai was about to open her mouth to answer. didn't expect to be pulled by Jia Xu beside him, and immediately closed his mouth. I only heard Jia Xu laugh on the side: "It's probably next month, but there are some things that are quite troublesome, and they still give me a headache, and we still need to prepare a thing or two." ”

"Oh?" Lu Bu was concerned and confused, turned his head to look at Zhang Xiu, and asked with concern: "If there is any difficulty, just say it, as long as I, Lu Bu, can help with a certain amount of power." ”

Zhang Xiunian was uncomfortable being stared at by Lu Bu, and his heart was even more inexplicable, he didn't know what his unfathomable military advisor was talking about, and he couldn't bear it: "Let's say Wenhe, I really can't open my mouth." ”

Jia Xu shouted in his heart, but frowned on the surface and said: "Actually, this matter is very simple, we lack generals who can fight now. This has been a matter of time for us. ”

Lu Buha laughed and said, "What kind of joke is Mr. Wenhe making? Zhang Xiu, this kid has good martial arts, I know that you are worried about Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who followed Zhang Ren back to Yizhou, right? Hum! The martial arts of these two people are indeed good, but Zhang Xiu's spear is not vegetarian, except for the fact that the strength is slightly inferior, I think Zhang Xiu's martial arts are not much different from theirs. ”

Jia Xu secretly scolded the puppet, this Lu Bu really only knows how to fight and kill, what is the use of martial arts alone? Could it be that Xu Ji has today's position and achievements because of Xu Ji's strong martial arts? However, it happened that Lu Bu thought so, so Jia Xu shook his head and said: "Wen Hou's words are wrong, the young general is the commander of the army, and if he wants to command the three armies, how can he charge into battle from time to time?" It's a pity that among the generals under the major general, only Hu Che'er can barely be regarded as a talent, and the others are not people who can be cultivated. Lu Bu nodded, knowing that what Jia Xu said was the actual situation of Zhang Xiu's army.

"But," Jia Xu smiled; "If Wen Hou can endure the pain of love, this problem will be solved." Lu Bu smiled: "You might as well talk about it." ”

Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "I think Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan under Wen Hou are a talent, if Wen Hou can lend me this person, it will solve my big problem." I don't know what Wen Hou wants? As soon as Jia Xu's words came out, Zhang Xiu's heart jumped on the side, it turned out that Jia Xu was for Zhang Liao! It's really unexpected, but that Zhang Liao is really powerful, and his martial arts are almost the same as himself.

Where did Lu Bu want to get Jia Xu's intentions, and said happily when he heard the words: "It turns out that you mean Zhang Liao, there is no problem, although I don't like this person, but this Zhang Liao's martial arts are really good, and he is an expert in charging into battle." And there is also a set of leading soldiers. Okay, when I go back, I'll send Zhang Liao to you, Mr. Wenhe. The army obeyed the dispatch of Zhang Xiu and Mr. Wenhe, how. ”

Zhang Xiu was overjoyed and said: "This is the best." Jia Xu showed a slight joy just right. Don't let Lu Bu have any suspicions. The simple-minded Lu Bu really didn't have him.

Looking at the military camp in the distance, Jia Xu felt surprisingly relaxed in his heart: the situation in Chang'an was beginning to develop according to his wishes. The next step is to lay down Hanzhong and Yizhou for Xu Ji.

Whoever wins the pass wins the world!

The next day, in the name of Wang Yun, the regent, announced to the world the appointment of the Xuzhou Assassin History: Cao Bao of the Xuzhou wealthy family and the Cao family temporarily acted as the Xuzhou Assassin until Xu Ji returned safely. This result greatly surprised the people who paid attention to this matter in the world, and even Cao Bao himself couldn't believe it. But he immediately stood on his toes.

Guo Jia had already obtained Xu Ji's letter at this time, and continued to stay in Xuzhou at this time and did not leave, the reason was that the principal behind Que Xuan had not yet fallen into the legal net. And Xun Yu just cooperated with Guo Jia's actions and formally asked Guo Jia to return to the army in the name of the Yanzhou government, but the result was, of course, Guo Jia's "categorical refusal". As a result, in the eyes of outsiders, the situation in Xuzhou has become more tense. At this time, even the most stupid person could see that there was something wrong with Yanzhou, and the battle between Guo Jia and Xun Yu, the two right-hand men who were also Xu Ji's best friends, began to become fierce. Such an illusion has made all ambitious people in the world eyeing Yanzhou, hoping to benefit from the civil strife in Yanzhou.

In particular, Yuan Shao, who had been silently recovering his vision in Runan, was even more excited about this matter, which proved that Guo Tu's analysis of him was completely correct, and Xu Ji was really not in Yanzhou. Take more active action, as long as Yanzhou is in chaos. Yuan Shu's troops are being taken over by themselves, and they can completely make a comeback.

And at this time, Yuan Min's letter from Jiangxia County, Jingzhou, had also arrived, saying that Xu Ji had been encountered in Jiangxia. But because of the accident, Xu Ji escaped, and Yuan Min was also injured. Recuperation.

Yuan Shao was shocked, and he didn't know who could hurt Yuan Min. Could it be that Xu Ji did it alone? After questioning, he learned from the subordinate who sent the letter that Lu Dao was originally injured by a master sent by Jingzhou, and obviously they did not know the name of Lu Dao Huang Zhong.

Of course, Yuan Shao's injury made Yuan Shao very worried. But Yuan Shao was even happier that he finally confirmed that Xu Ji was indeed in Jingzhou.

Subsequently, a letter came from Yingyin in Yanzhou, this letter was of course written by Zhao Hui, to the effect that Yuan Hui and Yuan Ba had successfully robbed Xu Ji's mother, and were rowing a boat through Qingzhou to enter the sea in Liaodong to meet Gongsun Zan in Liaodong. Because of the internal instability in Yanzhou now, Xun Yu and others were only angry when they learned about this matter, and sent people to look for it, but they did not dare to make a noise, for fear of causing greater shock.

Yuan Shao was overjoyed and hurriedly wrote to Gongsun Zhan, saying that things in Yanzhou were going very well and asked Gongsun Chan to rest assured.

Yuan Shao didn't know that this letter was forged by Yanzhou, and Yuan Ba and Yuan Hui had already died, and now the people who went to Liaodong by boat were a group of impostors.

At the same time, Gao Shun's army finally arrived at the border between Jizhou and Yanzhou, preparing to have a "big fight" with Zhang Yan to show Yuan Shu.

Just when everyone's eyes were focused on Yanzhou, the Gaoshun army of Bingzhou suddenly advanced southward, and in the name of encircling and suppressing Zhang Yang, they began to attack Zhang Yang's army that was repairing in the southern part of Shangdang County. In just one battle, Zhang Yang's army, which had suffered a great loss of vitality, was immediately defeated, and Zhang Yang led his men to the south to take their lives and run wildly, going deep into Sizhou, and hoping to transfer to Hedong County and join his old partner Wang Kuang's army. It was at this time that Gao Shun's army began to wave its army south, garrisoning Sizhou, and in the name of encircling and suppressing Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang.

However, the behavior of Gao Shun's army immediately aroused doubts from all sides, Zhang Ji of course was bluffing to make a defensive posture, but Zhang Yun's army in Jingzhou did not move, and sure enough, as Xu Ji expected, Zhang Yun couldn't think of any reason for the other party to attack him. But Yuan Shu didn't dare to be careless, all along, Yuan Shu thought that Yu Fuluo's actions in the state were cooperating with him, but now Yu Fuluo has completely lost contact, because of the war, and was controlled by the shadow along the way, Yuan Shu didn't know what was going on in Lu Dao and Zhou.

According to Yuan Shu's letter to Yu Fuluo, he wanted Yu Fuluo to take the opportunity to attack Gao Shun's army, who knew that now Zhang Yan's army and Wang Kuang's army have been defeated and withdrawn from the state, while Gao Shun's army is alive and kicking behind, don't think that Yu Fuluo must be more auspicious, Yuan Shu is even more guessing that Gao Shun's army has already known the agreement between himself and Yu Fuluo, maybe Gao Shun's army is going south to attack himself in Yanzhou with the trapped camp. Therefore, he hurriedly ordered the two armies that were preparing to penetrate into the territory of Yanzhou to turn around and rush to the junction of Yuzhou and Sizhou, and be ready for battle, just in case.

Gao Shun's army was unmoved in the face of this situation, and continued to advance southward, entering Hedong County, and the target was of course Wang Kuang. Everyone thought that this was a revenge battle, but they didn't know that the leader behind Lu Dao was not Gao Shun but Xu Ji.

After Wang Kuang was ambushed by Yu Fuluo, he fled all the way to Hedong County, relying on his prestige in this place and the support of many families, so his strength was quickly restored, and he soon gathered a lot of soldiers and horses, stationed troops in Wenxi and Anyi, and at the same time sent people to guard Xinjiang in the north of Wenxi and Pishi in the northwest, as well as Xia County in the southeast of Anyi, in a vain attempt to rely on the geographical conditions of mountains and rivers to prepare to defend to the death. And the defeated remnants of the flamboyant army are rushing to Wen Xi at this time.

Gao Shun's army then marched into Hedong County in Sizhou. (To be continued......)
