Chapter 181: Zhen (5)

Although Geng Wu and Guan Chun are not real womanizers, since they saw Zhen Mi, they have been quite unable to walk, and their brains are not as flexible as usual, and they have long forgotten their original intentions. At this time, after hearing Guo Jia's reminder, the two realized that they had lost some of their temper at this time, so they hurriedly said goodbye to Liu Liang and Zhen Mi.

And the reason why Guo Jia refused to leave the two of them here is also very simple, these two old boys are already dizzy by Zhen Mi's peerless beauty, if you let these two guys sit here for even a while, they may forget what their father's surname is, if Zhen Mi investigates again, it is difficult to guarantee that Zhen Mi will not be asked by Zhen Mi, who is surprisingly thoughtful, it will be worth the loss.

But it was Liu Liang who closed his eyes and nodded slightly, which was regarded as greeting the two. Guo Jia could also see that this person obviously had no interest in Geng Wu and Guan Chun.

Just when Guo Jia turned around, Zhen Mi said with a smile: "If Mr. Guo is in good spirits tonight, you might as well come to my Zhen Mansion to sit down, I think it will definitely make the slave family's cheap birthday shine." This invitation made Guo Jia a little unexpected, obviously Zhen Mi had already set his sights on him. Guo Jia hadn't thought about it clearly and hadn't agreed yet, but he heard Geng Wu take the lead and say: "Of course, how can you not go to Miss's birthday?" I can pack a ticket, Mr. Guo will definitely go. ”

Hearing Geng Wu's words, Guo Jia couldn't help but scold Geng Wu in his heart for being self-righteous, when would he pack tickets for himself? Today, I am afraid of all the people and things in Zhen, how can I have any leisure to attend Zhen Mi's birthday party? But now that Geng Wu's words have been spoken, I am afraid that he will no longer be able to refuse. Otherwise, it is tantamount to refuting other people's face, so that he will lose a person who can be used in Jizhou. So in desperation. Guo Jia had no choice but to nod in agreement.

However, as long as you think about it, you can know that Lu Dao's banquet tonight will not be easy, and the Zhen family and all the forces in Jizhou are inextricably linked. Tonight's banquet must be a situation where Jizhou dignitaries and nobles gather, plus a Yuan Xi, and himself, a bad-hearted envoy of Chen Liu, this play can be watched. Guo Jia doesn't take most of the local people in Jizhou in his eyes, the only thing to worry about is that he doesn't know Zhen's true intentions at this time, so being used as a gun and fighting with people always gives Guo Jia a feeling of being played like a monkey, and this is obviously not a good thing. What's more, with Guo Jia's arrogance and arrogance, where can he accept these things? However, at this time, Guo Jia could only take one step at a time, and almost everything after arriving in Yecheng was out of his expectations, which also meant that he had to understand the situation in Yecheng from the beginning in order to make the next arrangements.

And Zhen Mi saw Guo Jia's reluctant look. But what is surprising is that she did not look displeased in the slightest, and it can be seen that Zhen Mi obviously thinks Guo Jia is quite interesting. But this made Guo Jia more and more unable to understand Zhen Mi's thoughts, of course, it also made Guo Jia even more displeased, this little girl's thoughts are really infuriating.

In the blink of an eye, only Liu Liang and Zhen Mi were left in this "Tianyi Pavilion".

After a long time, Liu Liang, who had his eyes closed, suddenly said, "Mi'er, what do you think of that young man named Guo Jia?" ”

"It's funny." Zhen Mi's beautiful eyes that can make all the men in the world surrender to the ground flashed with brilliance that could eclipsate the stars in the sky.

Liu Liang obviously didn't expect Zhen Mi to have such an evaluation of Guo Jia, and opened his eyes. The stunned look in his eyes was not concealed at all, he looked at Zhen Mi, but after seeing Zhen Mi's cute expression that made him feel like a chess opponent because of Guo Jia, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Obviously, this Guo Jia was favored by the girl in front of him, but Liu Liang was also curious about how far Guo Jia could go?

At this time, Guo Jia naturally couldn't hear the conversation between the two, and he now felt a sense of pleasure as if he had been amnesty. Now he desperately needed to be still. In order to think clearly about the complex situation in front of us. Only by understanding these things can you arrange your next plan, and of course, now your goal is obviously changing. Now that the situation in Yecheng is complicated, it is a bit of a headache, and Guo Jia must be cautious to ensure that he will not make mistakes. Otherwise, there is a danger of losing one's life.

When a few people came to the residence of the apartment that had been prepared for Guo Jia and Chen Zhi, it had already been cleaned.

What made Guo Jia a little laughable was that the two bureaucrats, Geng Wu and Guan Chun, also took the trouble to inspect twice to express their concern for Guo Jia and Chen to their residence, and then said goodbye, and before leaving, they also told Guo Jiaqian to tell him, and these two were naturally so worried about it to tell him that he must attend Zhen Mi's birthday banquet tonight, and the two of them did not leave with confidence until Guo Jia repeatedly agreed.

Guo Jia and Chen Zhi looked at the backs of the two of them gradually moving away, and couldn't help but look at each other with a wry smile and shook their heads and sighed, they all felt that the response in Yecheng in the past few days was simply more laborious than making suggestions on the battlefield or charging into battle.

The two of them entered a hut, and after retreating from the beautiful maid who came up to serve fragrant tea, Chen Zhi changed his previous indifference and said with a solemn expression: "Sir, the matter in Yecheng is far more complicated than we imagined, and now, I am afraid it is even more troublesome. ”

Guo Jia nodded and said: "Now the first task of you and me is to find out the details of the Zhen family, if you can use your strength for my use, it is the best, otherwise we will be defeated in Yecheng, and if we can't get it to the worst, we will have to fight each other." And at that time, you and I were afraid that it would be difficult to save our lives. ”

Chen Zhinai is a person who can lead an army alone or even Xu Jiyi as a heavy general, he is naturally a smart and wise person, and of course he has long known the importance of the Zhen family, which is not in the scope of the shadow's attention, in this battle for Jizhou. And now his lord Xu Ji is obviously impossible to be confined to the land of Chenliu County, so it is natural to need a larger territory, although Jizhou is the land of the four wars, Xu Ji will not occupy it, but if he can get a lot of benefits from it, it is obviously definitely good news for Xu Ji, and he came with Guo Jia with many elites, Chen Liu's garrison is already extremely weak, once his party can not achieve results in Jizhou, I am afraid that he will have to face Yuan Shao's revenge, At that time, Xu Ji may not have enough dispatched soldiers. But although Guo Jiahe himself brought a lot of elites. It's just that I want to control the situation in the entire Jizhou, but I still can't do it, and I have to do it as a last resort. Chen Zhi didn't want to really implement the so-called "guerrilla attack on Jizhou and disturb Yuan Shao" tactic that Guo Jia told him on the way.

As Xu Ji has always adhered to: be able to outwit. Why bother?

At this time, Guo Jia's eyes flashed with a hint of Limang and said: "We are outsiders after all, there are many things that we don't know, and it is inconvenient to do it, if we want to completely understand the situation in Yecheng, we have to start from Zhang Gu after all." ”

Chen Zhi was slightly stunned and then nodded in agreement. Then Chen Zhi frowned again and asked, "Strategist, how do we arrange the people we brought?" ”

Guo Jia smiled when he heard this: "This thing is the easiest, with the foundation laid by this kid Zhang Gu here, as long as it is done skillfully, we don't want as many people as we want to enter Yecheng, but how many people can enter Yecheng?" But we don't necessarily need to do that. Although our previous plan to rob grain has been suspended, it is still necessary to carry it out. But my concern is that if we can do this, will it be so hard that others won't do it? ”

When Chen Zhi heard this, his face immediately changed and said: "It's still a thoughtful military advisor, this matter is very likely." The Gao Ran who came out for Yuan Xi today should be the general under Yuan Shao, looking at his appearance, not only is his martial arts strong, but it is not difficult to see from his words and deeds that this guy's experience in leading troops should also be extremely rich. Although I was not close to him, I could still smell the bloodthirsty killing aura that he would still have after a long battle, and it was indeed a bit daunting. ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he teased with a smile in his eyes: "Uncle Zhi seems to have met an opponent." ”

Chen Zhi also smiled slightly when he heard this: "Military advisor, it is definitely not an arrogant uncle, but I haven't taken it seriously because of this Gao Yan alone." If Zihe is here, it is enough to kill this fang. Of course, it's true that Zihe is afraid that it will take some trouble. ”

Guo Jia remembered Gao Shun, who was stationed in Yu County at the moment, and couldn't help but see the fearsome military formation of the trapped camp in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a little envious in his heart, and sighed and said, "I want to come." It's time for the lord to move, right? The previous plan on the Xuzhou side, is the lord going to start too? And Chang'an's side ......"

Chen Zhi said "um", and said with a solemn face: "I'm quite worried." Tao Qian is an old fox, a person who can take down Xuzhou alone. I'm afraid it must be a tricky one. As for Chang'an, although the lord's plan is quite huge, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed. It's just that the identity of the master mother is like this after all, and the lord is afraid that he is also extremely helpless, right? ”

Of course, Guo Jia agrees with Chen Zhi's opinion, but he can't help now, he can only put his hope on Shi A, with the identity of Wang Yue's apprentice, it shouldn't be too difficult to get close to the current young emperor Liu Xie, I just hope that everything can go well, otherwise it will be worth the loss. At that time, Xu Ji may be facing a situation of multi-party attack, and Xu Ji's forced use of his current strength to carry out multi-party planning is actually an extremely risky thing, but Guo Jia can't stop him, Xu Ji started too late, and now every step can only be risky, otherwise it will definitely be the fate of being swallowed up.

Thinking of this, Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh, although these things are in a hurry, but now there is no way to make a decision if he is in such a hurry. Now what I am most afraid of is what kind of conspiracy Yuan Shao has, Tian Feng and the others are not weak, if they want to deliberately deal with anyone, they are really unguardable, for example, Yuan Xi's arrival was completely unexpected. Chang'an can only be controlled by Xu Ji himself, of course, Guo Jia does not believe in Xu Ji's ability, but Xu Ji is a person after all, but Li Ru and others under Dong Zhuo are already quite tricky, not to mention that another noteworthy person has also been found from the intelligence of the shadow, and that one is probably the real enemy, although I don't know why Xu Ji doesn't seem to have much to deal with this person, but Guo Jia is extremely worried.

But Guo Jiazhi said that those things were a little too far away from him, and his current problem was that until now, he still didn't know where Yuan Shao's confidence came from, and what tricks and means could make Zhen obediently and achieve the purpose of his marriage?

However, Guo Jia didn't want to think about it at this time, his war of words with Frustrated Professor in the Yecheng Council Hall today had already consumed most of his energy, and if he didn't rest at this time, he might not be able to cope with the birthday banquet of Zhen Mi who was surging in the evening tonight.

At the beginning of the lanterns, Guo Jia woke up from his dream of becoming famous and returning to Yuxian in triumph, only to feel sore. But the spirit is much better, and after washing my face, I am even more refreshed. I feel like I can handle all the problems on my own.

After Guo Jia changed into a new set of clothes, Zhao Yun pushed the door in.

Guo Jia looked at Chen Dao in amazement. Obviously, he didn't understand why Chen Zhi was so anxious, and before Guo Jia could open his mouth to ask, he saw Chen Zhi explain helplessly: "It seems that our Lord Geng Wu and Master Guan Chun really take care of us!" Now come and pick us up in a carriage and invite us to come along. Strategist, do you say I can still say no to these two? ”

A wry smile on his face.

Guo Jia was not surprised when he heard this, stood up and said casually while sorting out his clothes: "What's so strange about this? Now Geng Wu and Guan Chun occupy a high position in the officialdom of Jizhou, but after all, they are alone, and now they invite us to go to the Zhen Mansion together, just to show others that the two of us are on their side. ”

Hearing this, Chen Zhi smiled and said: "This uncle naturally understands, but it is inevitably too obvious, right?" Since they walked around Yecheng with us today, they have been taking us through the market. Such a statement must be enough, right? ”

Guo Jia looked at Chen Zhi and said, "Uncle Zhi, why don't you want to go further?" Geng Wu and Guan Chun are so eager to show that they are standing with us, doesn't it mean that they still have no better choice? ”

Chen Zhi was stunned at first when he heard this, and then smiled: "The lesson of the military advisor is that Shu Zhi is not long-term enough. But after saying this, Chen Zhi immediately frowned and said, "But isn't this a dangerous move?" Now that the strength of the lord is strong, the power is very small, these two people may not have the vision to see the arrangements and plans of the lord in the future, right? ”

Guo Jia walked to Chen Zhi's side, stood on tiptoe and patted Chen Zhi's broad shoulder and said, "Uncle Zhi thinks too highly of them, it's not that they are too smart, but helpless." How could they think of anything else now? Asking Liu Yu for help is actually far from quenching thirst, so it's better to put all the bets on us! Chen Zhi also smiled bitterly when he heard this, obviously I did think too much of these two people. And when they arrived at the door of the post house, they saw that Geng Wu and Guan Chun were already waiting on the horse. To Guo Jia's helplessness, Geng Wu was more enthusiastic than in the afternoon, and after greeting him first, he immediately said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, do you know who the people who came to the banquet today?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head, where did he know this after sleeping all afternoon. However, looking at the appearance of these two people, you know that there must be something "good" happening. But Guo Jia didn't think so, in short, it was impossible to change the status quo, so what difference does it make who comes and who doesn't?

After Geng Wu finished speaking, Guan Chun smiled and said, "I really can't think of it." Before we could ask Lord Liu Yu for help, Lord Liu Yu sent a messenger instead. It can be seen that we can achieve great things! ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he suddenly became interested, and asked with a smile: "I don't know who the person sent by Lord Liu Yu is?" ”

Geng Wu said triumphantly: "It's Lord Dongcao Peng Wei Yu who came." ”

Guo Jia had heard of this person. Nodding his head, he said, "It's Lord Wei You, it's the best, it seems that if it goes well, Lord Han Fu can sleep well." Geng Wu and Guan Chun naturally nodded happily when they heard Guo Jia's words.

But after all, Guo Jia felt that this matter was not so simple, Liu Yu was a good hand in internal affairs, but other talents were overestimated, and I am afraid that sending people this time may not really be able to help, but in this way, he has a greater chance of profiting from it.

As for the relationship between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, it is even more ambiguous, so Guo Jia is far less optimistic about Wei You's arrival. For today's plan, only one step at a time. At this time, Geng Wu smiled again: "And this afternoon, Yuan Xi, who doesn't know how to advance or retreat, will also attend the banquet." Ha Luha, there is a good show to watch again. Guan Chun also clapped his hands and said: "What Brother Geng said is extremely true! Yuan Xi will only show his ugliness in front of Miss Zhen Mi, let's wait to see the joke! ”

Looking at the gloating smiles of these two people, Guo Jia smiled noncommittally, his heart was far from being as easy as these two people, how could this matter be as simple and easy as they imagined? As long as he thought about the hidden strategist behind Yuan Xi today, Guo Jia knew that Yuan Xi would inevitably take another action tonight. What's more, the situation tonight is different from this afternoon, after all, the host of tonight's banquet is Zhen Mi's mother, Mrs. Zhang, this decisive, shrewd and capable, after the death of her husband, what will Mrs. Zhang plan to do is the key, if Mrs. Zhang is forced to show up for some reason, then she has no way. After all, for Mrs. Zhang, the interests of the family come first, and as for the rest, of course, they can all be sacrificed, which naturally includes the so-called Zhen Mi, whose life is indescribable.

Of course, if Zhen Mi, the peerless beauty, would unfortunately fall into the hands of Yuan Xi, Guo Jia would naturally regret it, but that has nothing to do with the overall situation, and at that time, Guo Jia's mind may be how to disturb Jizhou.

Just as a few people were talking, Geng Wu, who was sitting on the horse, looked at him, and saw that he had already arrived in front of the Zhen family's mansion, only to hear Geng Wu smile and say: "It's better to talk faster, I didn't expect to arrive so soon." ”

The four of them dismounted separately, and there was already a small servant outside the Zhen family's mansion who came up to lead the horses for them, Guo Jia looked at it and saw that Zhen's huge mansion appeared in front of him, and its style was not much better than that of the Assassin's Mansion.

The eight gates of Zhen's Mansion were all wide open, and lanterns were lit inside and outside the doors, which was brilliant. Looking inward, I saw that the corridor leading to the hall was often crowded with guests, all of whom came to celebrate their birthdays. They were greeted by the Zhen family standing at the door.

These family members are tall, handsome, and well-spoken, and warm to people, giving people a sense of home.

When Guo Jia was looking, he heard a cold snort behind him.

The four of them turned around, and it turned out that Yuan Xi had arrived on the front and back feet. (To be continued......)
