"Pass to Jingzhou?!"

The corners of Guo Jia's mouth twitched slightly, he had already started scolding before, in order to slander Bowen's reputation, the southern scholar could jump very much.

That is, taking advantage of the fact that the soldiers and horses in the north have not yet marched south, and there is no threat of war for the time being, they are constantly provoking and showing their integrity.

is really a constant denunciation, ridiculing Xu Cao.

Of course, there are also many scholars who are speaking for the princes of the north, speaking in terms of the current situation of the people, but as soon as they say it, they will be ridiculed to the fullest, and gradually no one will speak out.

Now, if this matter of Bowen spreads to the south, let alone them, I want to slap him.

Guo Jia took a deep breath.

suppressed his emotions.

"Alas, how could you think of building a pavilion, I didn't expect Bowen to start enjoying it now."

Envy.

"Hmph," Cao Cao snorted coldly, said no more, and strode out of the main hall.

This matter has not yet reached the south, and it immediately spread near Xudu.

General Cao and the others also knew.

Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Zhen and others were immediately unhappy.

This time, even Cao Pi was also eating for a few people, and he had a lot of complaints about Xu Zhen.

"Alas, tell me, are we still leading troops here in Xudu? This war has not been settled, and we dare not rest, Xu Zhen has actually enjoyed it. ”

"The family's capital, the construction of the pavilion Yuyu, alas, also sent to Cai Yan alone, after the 10,000 volumes of books are not given to celebrities, they are not used to study Taixue, nor for the sake of Jizhou's future school."

"This Xu Zhen, I think he is really arrogant, but I don't dare to talk about him!"

Cao Hong was eating venison, drinking wine, and talking.

The broad shoulders were raised several times, and they hung down weakly, mainly because he had him every time he said bad things about Xu Zhen before, and then he was scolded the worst, and of course he was the most humiliating.

Xu Zhen behaved strangely every time, and he didn't know what he meant at first, but later on, there would always be miraculous achievements, and the results were naturally self-evident.

But this time......

Cao Hong felt quite comfortable in his heart, and felt that Xu Zhen was definitely too proud.

"Alas!"

Speaking of this, Cao Hong looked at several clan brothers and shook his head with a wry smile, "Seriously, I just admired him all these years. ”

"Although this Xu Zhen is ten years younger than me, he does have the ability, Liaodong can be stable, let Gongsun be a subordinate to him, and build such a spacious main road in Youzhou, as well as soldiers and horses."

"He also traded with Youzhou, and advocated the promotion of prosperity in the two places, and besides, most of the credit for the destruction of Yuan was his, and he also made it clear that he would lead the troops to follow the south, but he would never make merit."

"That's a good heart."

"But you say, who would have thought ......?"

"Oops!"

Cao Hong slapped his palm, his face was full of remorse, as if he had lost some treasure, he was heartbroken, and raised his hand to drink.

The young Cao Pi was on the throne, looking left and right, and he didn't understand why these people went to his mansion to drink.

But I can't say no.

Mainly, he originally only called Cao Zhen today.

Because Cao Ang was studying with Xu Zhen back then, there was only one adopted son Cao Zhen left among Cao's peers.

So in the process of Cao Pi's study and growth, Cao Zhen was almost always by his side, and the relationship between the two gradually narrowed, and after these few years, the natural relationship was deep.

Cao Pi has not yet been on the battlefield, but he has begun to learn the art of war, occasionally leading soldiers to drill, and accumulating prestige and experience in the army.

Cao Zhen has fought more than ten battles, almost all of them winning, so he wants to be more mature and slowly gain power.

"Uncle! Don't talk about it, just drink today, why are you talking about this in front of Zihuan? ”

"That's it!"

Xiahou Yuan hurriedly pulled Cao Hong along with these words, and said solemnly: "This Bowen is Zihuan's brother, and our sons and sons are all going to be called big brothers." ”

"Besides, Jie'er is also married to him, so it's hard to talk about it."

"Oh, you don't understand!"

Cao Hong slapped the case, his face full of resentment, "That's what I'm angry about!" You said that this Xu Bowen, if you want to please your wife in such a luxurious way, why don't you give Jie'er?! ”

"Where does this put my Cao family's face? Jie'er is his wife! Where is this reasonable, this Zixuan and Zihuan are also Jie'er's brothers! ”

"That's since childhood, our uncles and brothers have loved and grown like a pearl in the palm of their hands! This married Xu Zhen as his wife, but he still can't get such a beautiful talk? He Xu Zhen just flattered, why did he have to please the daughter of the Cai family? ”

"How did Cai Yong die? That was crying for Dong Zhuo's death, and he was condemned as Dong Zhuo's thief and party! Only then was Wang Yun imprisoned and killed! ”

"Eh, these things are recorded by historians and can be checked."

"Everyone in the world knows, what does Xu Bowen mean by currying favor with his daughter?"

As soon as Cao Pi heard this, he immediately reminded in a low voice: "Uncle Zilian, my father has great respect for Cai Yong and is his protégé......"

"Oh, oh......"

Cao Hong slapped himself lightly in the mouth.

laughed and said to Cao Pi: "Zihuan, most of this force is concentrated in Yuzhou and Yanzhou now. ”

"When we go south to get merit in the future, you will definitely go too, but you have to get some credit for us."

"As for this Xu Zhen, seriously, I got a piece of news."

Cao Hong lowered his voice, leaned a few people closer, and said: "He actually has a secret order, and the lord ordered him to capture Liucheng, so you should know it too." ”

Cao Pi remained silent, of course he also knew this news, and the henchmen of the Cao clan probably knew that some foreign generals and Korean Chinese martial arts might not know yet.

This is to prevent anyone from collaborating with the enemy, or a secret outpost in the northern part of the Central Plains.

The people of the Cao family will not secretly go to the north, so in order to make a secret order to him.

"Brother is doing this, will it be to confuse the northern Wuhuan, and then suddenly launch a surprise attack?"

Cao Pi thought about it and said, with his understanding of Xu Zhen over the years, he has become self-disciplined, and he is definitely not the kind of person who will be drunk with money.

Although Jizhou is gradually getting rich, it is far from the time to sit back and relax, and the world is undecided, how can it act like this.

"Harm," Cao Hong laughed while drinking, put down the wine bowl, and his face was full of disdain, "Not necessarily, the car ride is from Bai Ding, and I haven't enjoyed it since I was a child." ”

"However, I'm blunt, I think it's okay to enjoy riding at this time, I've won the battle for ten years, and the merit is so great, what's wrong with enjoying it?"

"You can drink and watch dances and play music to live, but he just wants to please the concubine, it doesn't matter, the main thing is whether Jie'er will be sad, or whether it will affect the war in the north and let Wuhuan have another year of looting."

"Hmmm......"

Cao Pi took a sip of wine, smiled woodenly, looked at Xiahou Yuan again, and shook his head awkwardly, "Then, then I don't know, where do I know my brother's heart." ”

"Che Qi, who has won the battle for ten years, will never let himself get to such a point."

"Besides, even if his mind changes slightly, the ministers under his command should not be so ......"

"That Zhuge Kongming, Jia Wenhe, uh...... There are also Yang Xiu and others, naturally they will speak, won't they remind their brother? I think Uncle Zilian's worries may be a little redundant. ”

Cao Pi smiled, which seemed to stabilize everyone's emotions, and they all nodded their heads.

Cao Hong held back for a while, then suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and said loudly: "That's it, don't talk about him!" ”

"Let's just wait and see, if we act like this, we will suffer sooner or later!"

"When the time comes, the north will be uneven, Xu Zhen must always be guarded, let's go south to take credit, but we are happy that no one fights! So what do I care about him?! ”

Several people looked at each other and smiled, and each nodded.

That's the truth.

Xu Bowen, this time you will die by yourself.

……

After a few days, the news gradually spread, like a boulder thrown into the lake, ripples and expansion, and the business spread to the people after dinner.

In the hinterland of the Central Plains, such news has also been learned one after another.

Wancheng.

Zhang Xiu, who was covered with a beard, saw the information sent in the main tent of the barracks, tore up the paper and threw it into the candlestick and burned it.

Leng snorted, "How is that possible." ”

"When Xu Che rode in Dingwan City, he acted secretly but he could arrange Cao Zi and the general to break through my surprise attack of the soldiers and horses, and the enemy was almost a demon, and Mr. Wenhe ran away for five years, and his reputation rose and he became more and more powerful."

"How could he follow a hopeless man who was greedy for pleasure?"

"This kind of information, you don't need to show it to me again, I'll hold Wancheng and don't make the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou move."

"Write another letter for me, express this intention to the rider, and give a gift to Mr. Wenhe."

"Whoa."

The lieutenant general glanced at the ashes on the ground and immediately turned to leave.

They have garrisoned more than 50,000 soldiers and horses in Wancheng over the years, and they have gradually become stronger, with abundant grain and grass, and the local people also know that Zhang Xiu has the ability to defend the south, and is naturally stable.

These are also due to the fact that Xu Zhen often ordered Jia Xu to secretly give advice, and sent food to migrate the displaced people south to Wancheng.

……

Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

"Hahaha!! This Xu car rides, I didn't expect it to be an elegant person! ”

Cai Zhong, Cai He, and Cai Mao's brothers laughed on the spot after learning the news and telling Liu Biao, "If you act like this, you will inevitably be disgusted by Cao Cao, and how can General Cao allow him to be so presumptuous, there will definitely be civil strife." ”

"This is an excellent opportunity for us to accumulate armaments."

"Yes, we can take the opportunity to build passes along the mountains, recruit troops and buy horses, and guard the cities and counties with heavy troops in the future, so that Cao Cao himself can have internal strife."

"Ouch, if he fights with Xu Zhen, even if he can take Xu Zhen, I'm afraid he will lose most of his troops!"

"Xu Bowen, stupid!"

"I didn't respect Confucianism and Taoism before, I was hated by scholars, and I sold ancient books, but now I use 10,000 books to please a woman! Stupid too!! ”

"In the eyes of the last general, he is no longer the petty official who adhered to self-discipline and fulfilled his duties, he is a chariot general!"

Under the discussion of these people, Liu Biao's face was solemn.

Squinting and holding up the letter to read it, he shook his head with a wry smile.

"Elegance, elegance."

Liu Biao sighed and sat back on the couch, these days, he has gradually felt powerless, and his complexion is not as good as before.

In a year or two, there may be another illness.

But he's still in his right mind.

A person who has been diligent in government and loves the people for a long time, and has never slackened off, suddenly comes out with such jokes, there must be something abnormal.

It's definitely not that simple, and now in the land of Jingzhou, these scholars are already abusing and ridiculing Xu Zhen, saying that he is a person who is old and wild in the mountains.

He is also said to be short-sighted and hypocritical.

has been scolded for more than three years, which has made Xu Zhen's reputation more and more ugly.

A lot of people ...... It's even almost believable.

But Liu Biao was still afraid in his heart.

Xu Zhen is the one who destroyed the Yuan family, how can he be such a short-sighted person.

The mind fluctuates slightly, and the construction of high-rise buildings is a joke, and after a while, you may wake up, and of course you have enough fun, of course, you must continue to manage the government and march the army.

Immediately there can be merit again.

But the scholars in Jingzhou, don't be arrogant because of this, and the most important thing is that the officials in various places don't think that Xu Zhen is in vain.

Otherwise, there will always be people who take it lightly.

What Liu Biao is afraid of is that now everyone is laughing at Xu Zhen for being rude and reckless, disrespecting Confucianism and Taoism, and greedy for pleasure like Dong Zhuo.

In the future, the people's expectations for Xu Zhen and Cao's soldiers and horses will be lowered, so they only need to use a little means to subdue the people's hearts.

Moreover, if the people of the Shangjia clan also believe this, most people will forget Xu Zhen's victories over the years, and therefore despise him.

It's not a good thing either.

Xu Zhen can thus show weakness in Jingzhou, and then attack ruthlessly.

This is the case in the art of war.

Yuan Shao was also defeated by Xu Zhen because of the light enemy.

But Yuan Shao didn't know.

Now that Liu Biao clearly knows, he can't persuade the people in the territory to despise Xu Zhen, and if he finally wants to give an order, let the scribes in the territory respect Xu Zhen and widely spread Xu Zhen's reputation, it will be even more ridiculous.

Therefore, Liu Biao was speechless, and felt more and more sad.

In this hall, can there be a clear-eyed person to let these generals of the Cai family sober up first.

At the moment, I can only hope that the celebrities in the territory can stand up and remind them.

……

"Xu Bowen! Short-sighted rats! But Erl! I thought it was really a god who came into the world, but I didn't expect it to be a vulgar person! ”

"Ten thousand books are in the cabinet! Accompanied by beautiful women! How ridiculous! Demolishing the ancestral house of the official eunuch in Jizhou, how can it not be hateful! Now doing such sensationalism again! Surely there will be chaos! ”

"The heart is insufficient!"

"The South wins! Sure to win! The North has long been a proud soldier! ”

"Even Xu Zhen and others have lost their hearts in the midst of successive victories, and so is Cao Cao! The outcome of such a confrontation is unknown! In the land of Jingzhou, there are many talents, Confucian scholars everywhere, the people are stable, and the soldiers and horses are strong!! Occupy a favorable position to welcome the proud soldiers of the north! Sure victory! ”

"Xu Zhengong is a high general, so that the Cao clan is dissatisfied for a long time, there will be chaos in the north!"

At this time, celebrities from all over Jingzhou, such as Gao Shuang, the Ma family, Kuai Yue and others, all felt this way, and the rest of the Confucian scholars scattered outside the poor family, and the celebrities who had never entered the office, all sighed and spoke wildly.

It's a joke.

Each has its own thoughts, and the daily conversation continues, and the news has not been concealed, but like an overwhelming dark cloud, it has been sent to Jingzhou, Jiangdong and other southern places.

If it weren't for the difficulty of the road, I'm afraid that the southernmost Shikun and the Southern Barbarians would know about it, although they didn't necessarily know who Xu Zhen was.

Liu Bei was terrified when he heard it in Xinye, and even the scholars here in Nanyang were despising Xu Zhen, thinking that he was a real vulgar person.

There are also a few people who are preaching that this is a matter of affection and righteousness, Cai Zhaoji scattered her family property for Xu Zhen back then, and Xu Zhen has now given her such a prosperous scene.

But the same, masked by disdain.

Inside the Shinno Government Office.

"Why is Xu Bowen like this?"

Liu Bei looked at Xu Shu puzzled.

"Sir, I did sit back and watch the rumors spread unfavorable to Xu Bowen in the territory, but I didn't convince them!"

"Xu Zhen is definitely not in vain!" Liu Bei's face was distressed, his face was full of helplessness and despair, if it went on like this, the civil and military forces in Jingzhou would think that Cao Xu was an arrogant soldier.

He just finished speaking.

Xu Shu, who was beside him, suddenly raised his head, with an unnatural smile on his face, and said lightly: "The lord is worried too much, Xu Zhen is indeed proud and complacent now, and sooner or later there will be trouble." ”

"There's no need to worry at all, Jingzhou will win, and I can't think of how to lose to the north in the future."

Liu Bei's mouth opened slightly, and he was stunned for a moment.

This......

What is this saying?!

Why do you even say that?!

"Strategist, you don't know Xu Zhen!"

"I have read all kinds of information about Xu Zhen, chased after it, and discussed him with people for six years, how can I not understand?" Xu Shu put away his smile and said solemnly: "He is now complacent, and there is nothing to be afraid of." ”
