Chapter 52: Death
"It's just a milky doll that hasn't dried up, and I didn't want to meet him in general."
Guo Jia nodded, and said generously, "Since the lord has made it public, then this gambling contract will be revealed, and it will be enough to spare his life when the time comes." ”
"It's just ......"
Guo Jia stopped at this point, and suddenly paused, "Although this son is talented and learned, he is too arrogant and disobedient to discipline. If you don't take advantage of this matter to knock it, I'm afraid that it won't be used by the prime minister in the future! ”
"Well...... this"
Cao Cao pondered for a moment, finally nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, you can do whatever you want." But remember, there's still room for it. ”
Speaking of this, Cao Cao got up and lifted the car window, looked at the street scene outside calmly, and muttered: "You are right, this jade is not cut, it is not a weapon!" ”
"Don't worry! Jia does not fail in its mission. ”
Guo Jia suddenly straightened his waist, and couldn't help but show a smug smile on his face.
Huangkou Xiaoer, do you still want to compete with me Guo Jia?
Since the lord has taken a fancy to you, he will spare you a life.
But against me Guo Jia, I have to let you know what is called means!
Just saying these two sentences, Guo Jia's mind has flashed through thousands of ways to repair people.
Unconsciously, the carriage drove to the Shangshutai Office, Xun Yu got off the car first and entered Shangshutai directly.
Just over an hour later, a fast horse came out of the east gate of Xuchang, all the way south, and went straight to Jiangdong.
……
Yangzhou, Wu County.
General's Palace.
"Cao Cao agreed to make me the Great Sima, but he asked me to go to Xuchang to receive the title in person!"
Sun Ce sat on the main seat, his sharp eyes swept over the edict spread out on the case, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a sneer, "Ah Ce didn't deceive me when I was young?" ”
"Cao Cao's move is nothing more than being afraid of my Jiangdong soldiers and horses, crossing the river to attack other prefectures and counties!" A handsome young man came out of the crowd, with an elegant smile on his face, and said lightly.
"He agreed to the general's request, just to put pressure on my Jiangdong in the name of the Son of Heaven. As long as the general refuses to go to Xuchang to accept the title, he can convict the general of rebellion and call on the world's heroes to ask for it! ”
"As long as my Jiangdong is in chaos, he Cao Cao can concentrate on the decisive battle with Yuan Shao!"
"Huh...... It's really calculating......" Zhou Yu had a noncommittal smile on his face.
"This is a conspirator!" Sun Ce smiled, his face was full of arrogance and confidence, "It's just that he doesn't know that the six counties in Jiangdong are all my humerus, who dares to make trouble?" Who will make trouble? ”
"Ziyi! How is Danyang's new army doing now? ”
Sun Ce's eyes flashed, he looked at an eight-foot-tall man in the military general column, and asked in a deep voice.
"My lord! The 8,000 new army in Danyang has been training for more than three months, and has been suppressing bandits in Shanyue for another month, and its combat effectiveness is already complete, and it can go north to attack Guangling at any time! Tai Shi Ci flashed out of the queue and intervened.
"Ziyi! Good job! Turn them all back to Qua. Sun Ce stroked his palms and laughed, "There is a spies who have reported that Yuan Shao has increased more than 100,000 troops to Yanjin, and the striker has penetrated deep into Yanzhou and reached Guandu. ”
"At most, Cao Cao will have to be forced to fight! When the time comes, we will directly cross the river to capture Guangling, and then go straight to Yuzhou, only take Xudu, and welcome the Son of Heaven! ”
The more Sun Ce spoke, the more excited he became, as if he had seen the grand scene of the army attacking Xudu.
"General!"
Zhou Yu suddenly spoke, interrupting Sun Ce's fantasy at once, "If you want to go outside, you must first settle inside, and before sending troops, we should eliminate some hidden dangers." ”
"Hidden dangers?" Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, and then there was a sense of anger in his eyes, "Gong Jin, do you mean that there is a spy around us?" ”
"Not bad!" Zhou Yu nodded, and took out a letter from his arms, "This is a letter intercepted at the Dantu Ferry the day before yesterday, and it was sent to Xuchang, I will read it to you." ”
"Sun Ce Xiaoxiong, similar to Xiang Ji, should be added to the noble pet and recalled Jingyi. If it is edicted and has to be returned, if it is put outside, it will be a disaster for the world......"
"Enough!"
Before Zhou Yu finished reading, Sun Ce slapped the table directly and suddenly got up, "Who is this who actually colluded with Cao Yu and plotted to kill me, what a big boldness!" ”
"According to the confession of the captured messenger, the person who delivered the letter was Wu County Taishou Xu Gong!" Zhou Yu put away the letter and said slowly.
"Xu Gong! What a thief! ”
Sun Ce's eyes widened instantly, as if he was breathing fire outward, "I didn't kill him when he murdered Sheng Xian, and I didn't kill him if he colluded with Yan Baihu." Now it seems that leaving him alone will only be a disaster! ”
"Ziyi! Go get his head and see him! ”
"Whoa!" Tai Shi Ci did not hesitate at all, immediately agreed, turned around and walked out.
There were a lot of civil and military people in the hall, just watching Tai Shici leave, and no one dared to stand up and say a word. Only a thin young man in the civil service column had a strange color in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
The county watchman's house.
Xu Gong paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, looking extremely anxious.
And in front of Xu Gong, there were three middle-aged men, tall, short, fat and thin, the only similarity was that everyone's temples were high and bulging, and at first glance they were Lian Jiazi.
Seeing that Xu Gong was so anxious, the man at the head couldn't help but speak: "Why should Ming Gong be in a hurry? The person who sent the letter was my junior brother, and his bones were very hard, even if Zhou Gongjin tortured him, he would never confess to Ming Gongjin! ”
"That's right!" Another man also said, "As long as my junior brother doesn't say it, who knows that this letter is from the hand of Ming Gong?" Besides, even if Ming Gong is traced, what can Zhou Gongjin do? ”
"Senior brother is right!" The last man nodded and said, "Ming Gong! The three of my brothers have been practicing hard for more than 20 years, and their martial arts are no longer under Na Lu Bu. ”
"Don't say that his grandson is called the little overlord, even if the overlord Xiang Yu is here in person, our three brothers are not afraid!"
"If he really dares to do something to you, our three brothers will definitely protect you and fight your way out, even if his Sun Bofu comes in person, we will cut him down!"
"The third junior brother is right!"
"That's right! Minggong can rest assured! ”
The three of them slapped their chests with a crackle, showing extremely strong confidence.
What Sun Ce Zhou Yu, in the eyes of their brothers, how is it different from ants?
Xu Gong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his mood stabilized a little, he looked at the three people in front of him with longing, and said in a deep voice: "He Tong! Guo Jia! Zhao Jie! Can I really trust you? Can you really take me out if it happens? ”
"Where did Ming Gong come from?"
He Tong continued to pat his chest, completely righteous and awe-inspiring, "The three of us brothers follow Yu Rang's example on weekdays. ”
"Ming Gong has the grace of knowing us, and we naturally want to die for Ming Gong!"
