Originally, it was the spring plowing season, and the farm work was busy, but Zhang Xiu chose to use troops at this time, which was really a big taboo.

But Zhang Xiu's Wancheng can't grow food, the population under his rule is already thin, and it has already been ten rooms and nine empty after years of war, and now it is not a tax, and even the land endowment can't be collected much.

After the strength of Wancheng rose sharply, it was impossible for Liu Biao to increase supplies, so as not to raise tigers, so there was only one road in front of Zhang Xiu, and the Liangzhou army at this time was actually no different from the Black Mountain thieves.

"Lord Changshi, General Hua asks to see you!"

"Please come in."

Hua Xiong's armor was rattling, after a year of recuperation, burly, vigorous and strong, holding a letter in one hand and a helmet in the other, he soon came to Chen Gong.

"Lord Changshi, this is a letter sent by Zhang Xiu secretly, Hua has thought about it again and again, and now he is under the command of Bingzhou, when he is cut off from the old department, he will hand over this letter to the adult for review!"

Chen Gong was a little stunned when he heard this, and reached out to take the envelope, the vermilion paint was not opened, and at a glance, he knew that Hua Xiong had not checked it privately. Chen Gong was about to tear it open to see, but he still resisted the impulse.

"This is a general's private matter, and it is inconvenient for the public station to interfere!"

With that, Chen Gong handed the letter back to Hua Xiong. But Hua Xiong knelt on one knee and didn't dare to pick it up, and his heart was even more up and down, not knowing what he was thinking, and he couldn't even bend over.

"Please be aware of it! Hua promised General Huangfu that he would serve for ten years, and he had no two hearts! ”

Chen Gong got up and helped Hua Xiong, kind words and relief, clearly said that there was no intention of temptation, the lord had made arrangements before leaving, and specially told Hua Xiong and Zhang Xiu to avoid evil as much as possible.

"General Hua doesn't need to be like this, the lord has already instructed before leaving, General Yan and Zhang Xiu are old friends, if the soldiers are harmonious, if it is not a last resort, there is no need for the general to go into battle to fight, and the public platform is remembered, how can he open the general's letter?"

Hua Xiong was moved when he heard this, and he couldn't imagine that Huangfu Biao took such good care of him, and he was still thinking about taking care of his old feelings in his busy schedule. Then he took the letter and opened it himself, but it was Jia Xu's own handwriting, first mentioning how Dong Zhuo valued him, then scolding Lu Bu for being ungrateful, and finally mentioning that he should help each other.

"Lord Changshi, Zhang Xiu intends to capture Luoyang, and Zhaohua is the internal response."

Chen Gong looked at Hua Xiong with a calm face, knowing that he had also anticipated the contents of the letter in advance, so he was not surprised, but felt a little ridiculous.

"Expected!"

Chen Gong was even calmer, and after hearing this, he was not interested at all, and even yawned, arranging military defense in the past few days is very energy-consuming.

"If the adult can trust Hua, can he do a trick of deception?"

Hua Xiong saw that Huangfu Biao treated him so well, and he also had the heart to reciprocate, so he took the initiative to ask Ying, wanting to take refuge in a fake and go to Zhang Xiu's army to act, which can be said to be putting life and death out of the way.

Chen Gong's eyes lit up, he was very moved, if he could take the opportunity to burn Zhang Xiu's grain, most of the 100,000 troops in Wancheng would be dispersed, and the danger of Luoyang could be eliminated immediately.

"No!"

A majestic voice came from outside the door, but it was Lu Zhilai, followed by Guo Jia, who looked like the leader sent by Huangfu Biao to Luoyang.

"I've seen Lord Shangshu!!"

Chen Hua and the others saluted one after another, politely sat down, Lu Zhi was not polite, and sat down as soon as he lifted his robe, Guo Jia put his hands in his sleeves, and stood behind him with a smile.

"My lord, if General Hua can secretly burn Zhang Xiu's grain and grass, he can avoid a big war, why not?"

Chen Gong asked eagerly, in his opinion, this plan is very feasible, Huaxiong is the old department, he will be able to win the trust, act in secret, if he can exchange the least price for the stability of Luoyang, why not do it.

"My apprentice once used Jia Xu as a military advisor, saying that he is the first poisoner in the world, with the talent of Chen Ping and Zhang Liang, if General Hua goes, I am afraid he will not be able to hide it."

Chen Gong knew that the apprentice Lu Zhi was talking about was his lord Fu Biao, who had the ability to know people, and if he could be called a poisoner, he was afraid that he would be a vain man under his reputation.

"Thanks to Lord Shangshu for mentioning it!"

Chen Gong also realized that he was a little greedy and reckless, and almost made a big mistake.

"It doesn't matter! The public is a little anxious, he was like this when he was young, and it will get better slowly! ”

"Yes!"

Chen Gong's merits and hard work have also been seen by the imperial court, although they do not agree with his deceitful plan, they must also calm their anxious emotions, after all, they are also rare talents.

As soon as Lu Zhi came, the backbone of Luoyang was there, and with the old commander in charge, he would neither blindly stick to it, nor be greedy for merit, and his subordinates could be invincible.
