The two of them heard Chen Gong's words. They were all puzzled, and Chen Gong didn't explain much. only looked at Jia Xu a little. Jia Xu understood, nodded and ordered: "Let's go to Gongtai's house and invite its housekeeper." ”

Half a quarter of an hour later, I saw the soldier bring in a middle-aged man who was nearly forty years old, and although he was named a butler, he was wearing unusual clothes, and although he was not as luxurious as the family, he was not comparable to ordinary people. There are housekeepers in the family among all the people here, even if they are Zhang Xiu and Zhong Feng, the two most powerful people in Xiaochang'an City, the housekeepers at home are far from being dressed like this. Not to mention the thrifty people like Jia Xu and Zhao Yun.

In addition to dressing up, this person has a fair face and delicate hands, obviously not a person who works often, even Jia Xu, Yang Zhuo, Chen Gong and others also practice some self-defense martial arts in their spare time, and there are calluses on their hands in many places.

I saw that this person half-bowed his head, came to the hall and saluted Jia Xu, Zhong La and others, and said, "I have seen Lord Jia, Lord Zhong, and General Zhao in Xia Chen."

After Chen Ying saluted one by one. Jia Xu swept his gaze to Chen Gong and said, "Gongtai, people have come." ”

When Chen Ying heard Jia Xu's words, his body shook, and then he turned his eyes to Chen Gong and said, "Sir."

I saw Chen Gong wave his hand, sighed and said: "Now the situation is different, this place is not Xuzhou, why should the prince be incognito." Just say who you are. With the name of your father, whether it is the lord, Jia Changshi, or Lord Zhong, you will be rich and noble. ”

Chen Ying sighed and said, "Sir, Ying was young and didn't do anything more, a few years have passed, and I shouldn't want to repeat the overthrow of the year." Now I read at my husband's house every day, take care of the flowers and plants in my spare time, no one knows the identity and name, and no one disturbs me, how can my husband bear to break the ordinary life of Ying. ”

Chen Gong sighed and said: "This place is Chang'an, not Xuzhou, even if the identity of the son is known to everyone, it will not be the same as in Xuzhou." Childe can also read every day. Take care of the flowers and plants, and as a son. You can also go to the Chang'an School Palace to listen to the lectures of Confucianism, why not. ”

Chen Ying didn't know how to agree, so he could only smile bitterly.

Everyone listened to Chen Gong and Chen Ying's answers, but they were puzzled, Zhao Yun was more concerned about Liu Bei's affairs. Then he asked, "Mr. Gongtai, who is this incognito son?" What does it have to do with Liu Xuande? ”

Everyone obviously saw that Chen Ying's body trembled when he heard Zhao Yun say the three words "Liu Xuande". After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he smiled bitterly at Chen Gong and said, "It turns out that Mr. should say this is this." However, it should be assumed. This matter is not clear, and it is not clear, which is right and which is wrong. I can't tell the difference today. ”

Chen Gong shook his head and said, "Gong only wants Gongzi to tell Liu Bei's true face. He is not a true gentleman. After hearing this, Chen Ying sighed, nodded helplessly, and agreed.

Here, Chen Gong arched his hand to everyone and said, "The son's surname is not Chen, but his surname is Tao." It is the youngest son of the late Xuzhou Mu Tao Gong. Because he had a lot of things in Xuzhou, he was later rescued by the palace. Under the arrangement of the palace, the surname Yi became a housekeeper in the palace family, and the second son of Tao knew best how Liu Xuande behaved. ”

The crowd heard. The expressions are different, Jia Xu is the most calm, silent, and doesn't even blink his eyes. Zhong Cai's eyebrows raised slightly, and Yang Fu showed an interested expression. Ma and Pang De were holding small porcelain cups, looking like they were watching a play, only Zhao Yun had a concerned look on his face. Chen Gong saw all the expressions of the crowd, turned his head to Tao Ying and said, "Second son Tao." Let's talk about Liu Bei's seizure of Xuzhou, as well as your subsequent situation. ”

Tao Ying sighed. said: "Mr. Meng has always taken care of him, and he should bring Chang'an to escape the war, and I should be grateful." Since the gentleman asked, he should tell everything about the past. I'm afraid you've all heard of Xuzhou. But the world has different opinions. Some people say that the father is confused, and some people say that Liu Xuande is cunning. Deceive Xuzhou. What is the inside story of this matter, I'm afraid only Ying knows best, and even the eldest brother doesn't know. ”

I saw Tao Ying's eyes a little confused, as if he was reminiscing about the events of the year, and then sighed and said: "On that day, Cao Thief led his troops to attack Xuzhou, killing tens of thousands of people in Xuzhou, and slaughtering them every time he went to a city. Originally, we all thought that Xuzhou would not be able to hold it, but how did we know that Liu Xuande came to help, and his two brothers were brave and good at fighting, and Cao Cao was forced to retreat in the first battle. Later, Wenhou attacked and seized Chongzhou. Cao Thief retreated, and before Liu Xuande entered the city, his father called the eldest brother and Ying to talk. My father's health was not very good at that time, especially when Cao thief slaughtered Xuzhou, he was really exhausted, but at that time, he and his eldest brother were all little things, and he was a famous son of Xuzhou. The father called Ying and the eldest brother, in fact, he wanted the eldest brother to reuse Liu Xuande after taking over Xuzhou in the future. You should help your eldest brother well. At that time, Liu Xuande was not the current uncle of the Han Emperor, he was only born in poverty, and the eldest brother naturally looked down on him, so he fell out with his father and left. Ying persuaded his father for a while, but to no avail. Unexpectedly, after Liu Xuande entered the city, my father wanted to give Xuzhou to Liu Xuande at the banquet, but this matter was completely out of our expectations. ”

After a pause, Tao Ying continued: "After Liu Xuande didn't pick it up, my father arranged it in Xiaopeitun. The eldest brother was very angry with his father's actions at that time, and when he returned home to quarrel with his father, he should have sided with the eldest brother this time. Later, Liu Xuande knew about this and came to meet him. He said that there was a way to persuade his father to hand over Xuzhou to his eldest brother, so he and Ying went to see his father together. At that time, it should have been beside them, and Liu Xuande was indeed persuading his father. However, he was more talking about the people of Xuzhou. At that time, I should have thought that Liu Xuande was sincerely helping his eldest brother. ”

Speaking of this, Tao Ying changed his words. The mood was no longer as calm as Fang Cai, but became excited, only to hear him continue: "Liu Xuande has actually figured out his father's mind a long time ago. And I know that the eldest brother and Ying are both talented. And my father always felt that it was because of him that the people of Xuzhou were slaughtered by Cao thieves. Liu Xuande persuaded his father to put the people first in current affairs, clearly saying that only the eldest brother took over Xuzhou in order to stabilize Xuzhou and appease the people after his father's death, in fact, he already knew that if the eldest brother took over Xuzhou, Xuzhou would be in chaos, and his father also knew this in his heart. In addition, although he is a small soldier, he often visits the major families in Xuzhou, and his purpose is naturally to get the help of the Xuzhou family to secretly seize Xuzhou, but unfortunately his father was sick at that time. I've only heard a little about it.

Speaking of which, Tao Ying's emotional skills turned into avoidance. Just listen to him! Later, Liu Xuande came to make a difference, Zhou Ying said a lot, and at that time, he should feel that it was indeed better for Liu Xuande to take over Xuzhou than his eldest brother. Later, Liu Xuande secretly met his father once, and that time should have been seen by accident, and he talked a lot to his father. Ying only listened to a few, but to the effect that the eldest brother and Ying were not suitable to take over Xuzhou

Speaking of this, Tao Ying sighed and said, "Liu Xuande is indeed powerful, in just a few months. In a few words, it affected his father's decision, and finally entrusted Xuzhou to his hands. However, as Liu Xuande said, Xuzhou has indeed recovered a lot under his governance, and the people also support him

Speaking of this, Tao Ying's eyes were a little frightened. Continued: "If so. Although Liu Xuande is cunning, he is also a good official, at least he thinks about the people, if he is only like this, he should not blame him, only blame him for being born in troubled times, and his ability is insufficient. But he's not, he's not just cunning, he's vicious. Later, the eldest brother secretly gathered soldiers to prepare to deal with Liu Bei under the instigation of some families who were dissatisfied with Liu Bei, but as if he knew it early on, he arranged for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to deal with the eldest brother, and the eldest brother was ambushed by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei before he made a move. The eldest brother was killed by Guan Yu himself. Ying left in time under the reminder of his friend, and at that time, Wenhou entered Xuzhou, and should have been rescued by Mr. Gongtai at that time. When Ying returned to Xuzhou, our Tao family had been killed by Liu Bei, and later Ying's friends found out that the family that encouraged the eldest brother to raise troops that day was actually instructed by Liu Bei behind the scenes, and his real intention was to destroy our Tao family. ”

Speaking of which, in the end. Tao Ying sighed in his heart: "Liu Bei Liu Xuande, Ying really doesn't know what he is. What kind of people treat the people kindly, but why should I kill the Tao family. Liu Bei's ruthlessness is by no means inferior to Cao Cao, especially in cutting grass and eradicating roots, which is better than Cao Cao. Wang yes? Thief? I'm afraid that no one in the world can see his true face. ”

After listening to Tao Ying's words, only Jia Xu's expression remained unchanged. Ma and Pound were surprised, but they also made indifferent looks. Zhong Garlic and Yang Zhuo looked serious, especially Zhong Xuan, with a hint of clarity in their eyes. Only Zhao Yun, with a shocked face, muttered the sentence in his mouth: "Wang Ye? Thief? ”

Jia Xu glanced at Zhao Yun, and suddenly said: "In the troubled times, there is no king and thief, there is only the winner!" The winner is king, and the loser is coward! As for right and wrong, whether it is a king or a thief, there are comments from posterity! Liu Bei, Xiaoxiong, thought that this time it should be as the public platform said, and troops must be sent to get rid of it. Otherwise, letting his dragon return to the sea in the future will be a big trouble for the lord's henchmen! The first half of Jia Xu's words was said to Zhao Yun, and the latter was to express his position, and Zhao Yun was silent after listening to it.

This Zhong Feng suddenly said: "Actually, you don't have to talk much about Liu Bei's affairs, the lord has already left a letter to arrange this matter, and after speaking, Shi Shiran took out a letter from his arms, opened it and circulated it to everyone.

Looking at the crowd circulating, Zhong Chuan said: "The lord's letter has a word, if Liu Bei raises troops in Runan. It must be exterminated by sending troops, and it must not be allowed to flee to Jingzhou, otherwise there will be endless troubles

Everyone heard what Zhong Qi said, and saw Zhang Xiu's handwriting: "Liu Bei fled to Jingzhou? ”

Chen Gong and Tao Ying glanced at each other after listening. Tao Ying muttered: "He will, he will definitely take Jingzhou away like Xuzhou." In the end, the voice was extremely loud, and everyone in the hall could hear it clearly.

Chen Gong looked at the empty throne in amazement, and he had a feeling that there were some things that Zhang Xiu seemed to know for a long time. After all, Runan is the place of the Yuan family, and it is indeed surprising that Liu Bei, a new refugeist, was able to gain Yuan Shao's trust to raise troops and command Runan.

And Liu Bei went to Runan, and everyone was still discussing the matter of sending troops, so Zhang Xiu left a letter to send troops. And Liu Bei must not be allowed to flee to Jingzhou, which makes Chen Gong even more surprised.

However, Jia Xu's face was still calm, as if he was used to it, and he embroidered Zhang: "Since the lord has an order, then the generals will send troops."

After a pause, Jia Xu said: "Yuan Caozhi's victory is not scored, our army must leave some soldiers and horses in Chang'an, wait and see the changes, and immediately send troops to attack Hanoi when the situation reverses." Therefore, it is not too much to send troops from Chang'an to deal with Liu Bei, and it is thought that it is better to take Gongming's Nanyang Corps as the main force to send troops to Runan this time, and Chang'an will cooperate with the dispatch of 10,000 cavalry, and then reply to Cao Cao to ask him to send troops together. With Cao Cao's ability, he must have seen Liu Bei's extraordinary, otherwise he would not have borrowed the edict of the Son of Heaven to let our army crusade against Liu Bei

After Jia Xu finished speaking, everyone nodded together. At this time, Yang Fu asked: "Liu Bei's subordinates Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are brave and good at fighting, if it is only General Gongming, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat Guan Zhang Zhiyong, so Zhuo thinks that it is necessary to send generals to help." ”

After Yang Fu finished speaking, Ma laughed and said: "Deal with Liu Bei, just leave it to you, last time I was in the Tiger Prison Pass, I had long seen that the little ring-eyed thief was not used to it, and this time it was just the right time to let him get the result."

After Ma finished speaking, Pang De next to him also spoke: "Wen Hou once said that Guan Yunchang's sword technique is above virtue, and this time it is just right to divide the victory and defeat." ”

Yang Fu heard this, nodded and said, "There are General Meng Qi and General Ling Ming, plus General Gongming." This time, Liu Xuande was difficult to fly. ”

Chen Gong opened his mouth at this time and said, "Jia Changshi, Gong wants to go out with the army this time. Liu Bei is as cunning as a fox. If he really fled to Jingzhou, he was afraid that he would really become a big trouble for the lord

Jia Xu looked at Zhao Yun and then at Zhong La, the three of them are now the principals of Chang'an. Therefore, Jia Xu should take a look at their opinions.

Zhao Yun nodded first and said, "With Meng Qi and Ling Ming making a move, it doesn't matter."

Meng Qi led 10,000 Qianghu cavalry in his headquarters. Let Gongming send out 20,000 foot soldiers of the Nanyang Corps, and completely annihilate Liu Bei's 10,000 rabble in Runan, there should be no problem Since Zhang Xiu has already ordered to deal with Liu Bei, Zhao Yun will naturally obey the order and will not be soft.

Zhong Luo also nodded and said: "There is no problem with the grain and grass, you can rest assured that you can go on the expedition." ”

Jia Xu finally nodded and said: "In this case, Meng Qi and Ling Ming led 10,000 Qiang Hu cavalry to Wancheng to join Gongming first, and then set out together to conquer Runan. Gongtai is a military division with the army, supplemented by Pang Rou, Wang Chang, and Huo Du, and there must be no mistakes! As for Cao Cao's side, it's up to Yishan to deal with it.
