Chapter 560: Zhong Xuan's Means

Chang'an Sili School Captain's Mansion, is now the most magnificent building in Chang'an, the original Chang'an City Palace because of the rebellion of Li Dao Guo Yan, destroyed eight or nine out of ten, this Sili School Captain's Mansion, is re-established in those ruins and ruins.

The name of this division lieutenant is a school captain, but in fact, the grade is equivalent to the history of the assassin, the state pastor, and even the power and responsibility of supervising the Chinese military officials of the dynasty, just because the former capital is located in Chang'an, Luoyang and other places, so the official position in charge of this state naturally cannot be called a pastor, but is called a division lieutenant.

Today's court was moved to Dingtao, the capital of Jiyin County, as early as Cao Cao's control, so Zhong Xuan, the captain of the Si Li, has become the most powerful person in Si Li.

This Zhong Xuan is handsome, although he is nearly fifty years old, but he has more elegant and wise demeanor, and a few short strands of short beard on his chin are very beautiful, and he is especially fond of calligraphy, and he is a generation of calligraphers.

"This Xu Rong is a feudal official, guarding one side, but this handwriting is really unsightly, he has long been instructed to practice more, but it is still so terrifying, the whole letter is like a group of demons dancing, hey! Unsightly, unsightly! ”

A few people next to him couldn't help laughing, but they couldn't laugh out loud.

Pei Mao, as Zhong Xuan's current deputy, avoided this question at the right time, and said with a smile: "Captain Zhong, this General Xu has found traces of Wang Ziyang nearby, so how to deal with it now?" The lord strictly ordered that he must be intercepted and sent to the imperial court. ”

Zhong Xuan's face was calm, and he gently put Xu Rong's letter on the table, looking far away, for a long time. Only then did he smile and ask sideways: "Zhong Yu." What do you think? How can we catch him now? ”

Beside him stood a handsome young man. His face was quite like a scribe, but he was covered in armor, and it was Zhong Xuan's eldest son, who heard his father's inquiry, and said after bowing his hand slightly: "Father, the child thinks that now we should immediately issue an order to blockade the banks of the Yellow River and ban all ships. Ordered all ports to be strictly checked, and the Yellow River should also send ships to patrol, so as to prevent it from crossing the river to the north, and then, let General Cao Ren of Luoyang block all roads in Luoyang, and then send sergeants to search intensively in the Hongnong area, when it can be captured. ”

After listening carefully, Zhong Xuan's short beard was short, but he smiled and said: "The idea is good, but I can't catch anyone." ”

"Huh?" Zhong Yu was puzzled. He bowed down and asked, "I hope my father will make it clear." ”

Zhong Xuan smiled and said, "First of all, you should know who Wang Xu is?" Its people are resourceful. If this is the case, it will find a flaw in our search. You need to know that any means and methods of disposal, no matter how tightly sealed, are all loopholes, and if we deploy them like that, we will put ourselves in the open place, and it will be difficult to make a difference. ”

"So ......" Zhong Yu realized slightly.

"So we have to take the initiative to give him a loophole and let him drill into it, as the master of this place, we have the initiative in the overall situation, and no matter how good he is, he can only see a point, or a surface, understand?"

"Got it!" Zhong Yu immediately replied.

"Then it's up to you to coordinate and dispatch this matter, if it succeeds, it will be a great achievement!"

"The child must do his best!"

"Hmm!" Zhong Xuan nodded, didn't say anything more, and waved his hand: "Then you can go down first!" ”

"No!"

As Zhong Yu left, Zhong Yu didn't talk much about Wang Xu's matter, but instead looked at Pei Mao, frowning slightly: "Juguang, have you ever found out the reason for the recent changes in Xiliang?" ”

"It hasn't been found out yet, but according to the spies, there are already some clues." As he spoke, Pei Mao paused slightly, and then said: "This change should be caused by Ma Teng's eldest son, Ma Yi, this thief is extremely ambitious, and he doesn't want to occupy this place all the time. ”

"Hmmm! Over the years, Xiliang has been fighting for the two heroes from the melee, and his strength has indeed become more and more powerful, and there are quite a few talents under his command, and entering Guanzhong must be what they want. However, Han Sui and Ma Teng are inseparable after all, and they are both heroes, as long as such a tug-of-war situation is not destroyed, I can sit back and relax. Now all it takes is an idea, which once again makes Han Sui and Ma Teng suspicious. ”

Pei Mao nodded and said, "This matter, the subordinates have already let Zhang Ji be in charge of handling it." ”

"Zhang Ji? But Zhang Derong? Zhong Xuan asked.

"Exactly!"

Zhong Xuan was relieved and said with confidence: "Then it will be fine, with Derong's quick wit and eloquence, it is enough to force Han Sui not to dare to sincerely unite with Ma Teng!" ”

When his words fell, Pei Mao thought about it, but said with some concern: "But this situation, I don't know how long it can last, Ma Teng's strength has expanded far beyond Han Sui over the years, and there are many fierce generals among the descendants of the Ma family, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, etc., and the Xiliang warriors who defected are too numerous to mention, and the most terrifying thing is that Ma Yi's child is not as eccentric as in his early years, and now he is gradually maturing, scheming, and very good at winning people's hearts." On the other hand, Han Sui is a little weak, although his power is still expanding, but in the hearts of Xiliang people, he has gradually lost as much prestige as Ma Teng. ”

After listening carefully to his words, Zhong Xuan's face did not change, and he was still calm. "Juguang, although the Ma family's strength is inflated and there are many talents, it is difficult to become an atmosphere, and they have missed the opportunity."

"What do you mean by that?" Pei Mao was a little puzzled.

Zhong Xuan explained with a smile: "In the early years, Ma Teng failed to unify Xiliang in the melee, and now no matter how hard he exerts his strength, it is difficult to seize the land of Guanzhong. You should know, first, the Xiliang army is regarded as a tiger and leopard by the people of the world, and there are many materials that are poor, if he really marches into Guanzhong, not only us, but even other princes will not give resources, so its stamina is insufficient. ”

"Second, now that our army is stationed here, with the strong support of the lord and the imperial court, it is solid."

"Third, Si Li first had Dong Zhuo as a disaster, and then Li Dao, Guo Yan and other generals of the Xiliang Army made a rebellion, and the people hated it to the core, and they would never tolerate the Xiliang soldiers to re-enter this place, so we have the people as a strong backing."

"Fourth, although Ma Teng's strength is gradually overpowering Han Sui and occupying a strong advantage, we will never tolerate him exterminating Han Sui, and at a critical moment, it is completely possible to form an alliance with Han Sui to resist, as long as it is so vertical, it will be difficult for Ma Teng to do anything."

As Zhong Xuan analyzed the stakes, Pei Mao suddenly had an epiphany, thought for a moment from Ma Teng's point of view, and then exclaimed: "But the people of Liangzhou are fierce, and the people are all warriors. ”

"Hahaha......" Zhong Xuan couldn't stop laughing, and said funny: "Why does Juguang come from such worries, Liangzhou is located in the border area, people of all ethnic groups live together, brave and brave, it is not the land of the king, although the heroes there are powerful, but after all, they can only be a strong party, how can they achieve great things, unless they ......"

"Unless something ......," Pei Mao asked.

"Unless someone tames the foreign clan and uses the power of other strong clans to completely invade my Han, but if this is the case, it is no longer a dispute between the princes of the world, but an invasion of foreign enemies, and the survival of the race, and the princes of all sides of my Han will inevitably join forces to deal with it and compete with it, but that is already another situation, with the current situation, it is unlikely, don't talk about it!"

After speaking, Zhong Xuan didn't seem to want to say any more, waved his hand and said: "In short, at present, you only need to provoke Han Sui and Ma Teng to suppress Xiliang's strength, you pay more attention to the situation over there, if there is any change, you must report it quickly, I will also go to the court the next day, and order Han Sui to be the pastor of Liangzhou, and Ma Teng to be the general of the expedition to the west, so that Xiliang will be worry-free for the time being." ”

"No!"

Zhong Xuan is now sitting in Chang'an, although the situation is very different from the historical record, but he also used the technique of vertical and horizontal, with super political and military skills, vertical and horizontal, for the rapid recovery of the Sili area, making a historic contribution.

At this time, Wang Xu, of course, didn't have the heart to think about Zhong Xuan, he and Zhang Ning, Huang Xu and others were running along the Yellow River, unable to enter, unable to retreat, walking day and night, using mountains as shelters, avoiding investigation, it was really miserable.

On this day, Wang Xu and the others hid in the dense forest, resting listlessly by the trunk of the tree.

The sound of hurried footsteps alerted them instantly, but they quickly relented, because they could hear that it was Huang Xu.

After a short time, Huang Xu came out of the bushes, took a slight breath, and came straight to Wang Xu, who was still moving.

"Childe!"

"Hmm!" Wang Xu still fiddled with the weeds in his hand and asked indifferently, "How is it?" Is there anything missing? ”

"No, the entire Yellow River has been controlled, I heard from the people, there are still many military ships patrolling the river, and you can't cross the river without a pass, so I'm afraid it's really not possible to take the waterway."

Wang Xu had already prepared in his heart, and he was not too surprised when he heard this, so he sighed and said: "I guess that Zhong Xuan will also strengthen the control of the riverbank, after all, there are too many changes in the waterway, and it should be impossible to leave us any loopholes." ”

"Boss, what now?" Half-squinting, Zhou Zhi, who was recuperating beside him, spoke.

"We can only go eastward, and there is no cover on the surface of the Yellow River, and this kind of strict control will not give us a chance at all, and once the position is exposed, we can't run away." Wang Xu said in a deep voice.

"You can go east from our current position, but you have to pass through Hangu Pass, can you go there?" Ling Wanqing said worriedly.

"Our group of people are all good, let's climb over the mountains!"

"This ......"

It is not an ordinary difficulty to climb over the mountains, and the beasts are not afraid, but the danger is very high when you climb the rock and climb the wall.

At this time, Huang Xu took over and said: "I think this method is feasible, and I have also heard from the people that now there are soldiers everywhere to guard it, and the Yellow River cannot be crossed." The checkpoints on the main roads and small roads are also strictly controlled, although we have all been changed by the lord, but Cao Jun seems to have thought of this layer, at this time, the interrogation will check the face and neck, as long as you meet the sentry post, you will still be recognized. ”

"The people also talked about it, only the mountains that are inaccessible and don't even have paths, don't seem to be controlled by Cao Jun."

Hearing this, Wang Xu did not hesitate any longer, and decisively got up and patted the soil on his body. "Then go, go east from the mountains, no matter how long it takes, at least it's better than waiting here to be caught." (To be continued......)
