Chapter 217: The Central Plains Shakes
"Really?" Zhang Wei was taken aback, and then shook his head and said with a smile: "Gongzi Hugh wants to bully me, among the children of your clan, Cao Pi, Xiahou Ba, etc. are all leaders, each practicing literature and martial arts, and is ready to serve the country, but Gongzi is drunk and fascinated here, making profits for fun, how can Prime Minister Cao Cheng be entrusted with important tasks?" ”
"You know ......" Xiahou Nan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "If I have the Prime Minister's secret order and serve the country, what should you do?" ”
Zhang Wei pondered for a moment and asked, "If I really make meritorious contributions, can I meet Prime Minister Cao Cheng?" ”
Seeing that Zhang Wei dared to take the initiative to see Cao Cao, Xiahou Nan became more and more convinced, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as you have merit, the prime minister will be rewarded, and in the future, you will be promoted to a knighthood, and you will be glorious." ”
Zhang Wei hugged his fists this time and said: "Dare to ask Gongzi what position he is doing, what do you want?" ”
Xiahou Nan coughed lightly, signaled to the left and right to retreat, and told Cao Cao that he had asked him to secretly investigate Jingzhou's intelligence in the name of business.
Xiangyang Courtyard can't find any valuable information now, Xiahou Nan is worried that no one is available, if Zhang Wei is willing to obey orders, he will be reused in the future.
Zhang Wei was overjoyed when he heard this, and said again: "The son is really in Bole, if he is willing to appoint it, he should do his best." ”
Xiahou Yan said: "Do you know the responsibilities of the detailed work, can you find out the military situation in Jingzhou?" ”
Zhang Wei nodded and said: "The land of Jingzhou, I am most familiar with it, and I also have many old friends, and it is easy to find out the news, otherwise it would have been held by Liu Qi." ”
Xiahou Nan almost jumped up with excitement when he heard this, clapped his hands and laughed: "God really helps me!" ”
Zhang Wei said angrily: "In fact, in this Ye County, there are also a few people among the officers and soldiers who have met Zai Xia and met them a few times in the casino, but they are just depressed and shameless. ”
"What's so hard about that?" Xiahou Nan waved his hand arrogantly, "From today on, I will subsidize you with 3,000, not 5,000, or 10,000 yuan every day, and you can spend no time." Half a month is limited, if you can really find out important news, you will take credit. ”
"Thank you, Childe!" Zhang Wei bowed and saluted: "If you can help the prime minister take Jingzhou, you will not hesitate to go to the soup and fight the fire." ”
Xiahou Nan was secretly proud, and immediately held a banquet for Zhang Wei to catch the wind, and the two discussed how to find out the news and establish an intelligence organization.
Early the next morning, Zhang Wei changed into a silk shirt and turned into a handsome son, extremely elegant.
"Sure enough, people rely on clothes and horses!" Xiahou Nan was greatly appreciative, and ordered someone to fetch the package and hand it to Zhang Wei, "I'll wait for your good news." ”
Zhang Wei went out with the package, and Xiahou Nan ordered someone to follow, if this kid dared to run away with money, he would be killed directly.
After breakfast, I went to Hanyuan Qianzhuang, and found out that the shopkeeper was actually Liu Qi's brother-in-law Xi Ze, who originally ran an industry in Changsha, and was transferred to Yexian County to open a money village, and became more and more sure that Liu Qi would not use troops here.
Coming out of the money village in the afternoon, Xiahou Nan's brain was buzzing, and he was still shocked by the money tickets and deposits, Liu Qi's method of making money was unheard of, but it was reasonable.
But Liu Qi is the master of one party, and he is just a white body, although he is Cao Cao's son-in-law, he may not be able to persuade Cao Cao to do the same.
Seeing that another money-making plan was about to fail, Xiahou Nan was even more like a hundred claws scratching his heart, sighing all the way, wondering whether to pull Cao Pi and open a private bank in the name of his eldest son, following Liu Qi's example?
Back in the village, the next person came to report that Zhang Wei lost all 10,000 yuan in the casino in the morning, and a small part of the remaining one found a restaurant to live in, and he was drunk and fell asleep.
The housekeeper was furious when he heard this, and he was about to go to Zhang Wei to settle the account, but Xiahou Nan stopped him, since he gave Zhang Wei half a month, he had to keep his word, and the hundreds of thousands of dollars were just a drop in the bucket for him.
For three days in a row, Xiahou Nan did not go out of the gate, and the second gate did not step, all thinking about how to open a money bank, and found a fatal problem: those money tickets were stricter than official documents, not only the paper quality was extremely high, but also the handwriting was not handwritten, he couldn't do it at all.
When he was annoyed, he saw Zhang Weixing rushing over, and he was stunned when he saw Xiahou Nan: "I haven't seen him for a few days, why is the son so haggard?" ”
When they met again, the situation of the two seemed to have been reversed, only to see Xiahou Nan's eyes bloodshot, his eyelids puffy, his hair scattered, and even a little sluggish.
Xiahou Nan sighed, glanced at Zhang Wei, and said in amazement: "Who are you?" ”
Zhang Wei touched his smooth cheeks and sighed: "Although I escaped from Jingzhou, Liu Qi didn't care, but just in case, I still shave my beard and change my appearance, and I should use this as an inscription!" ”
Xiahou Nan came back to his senses and said: "The body is skinned, and it is subject to the parents, Mr. endures the humiliation and burden, I will not forget it, I don't know what I have gained in the past few days?" ”
Zhang Wei said in a low voice: "I have already investigated clearly, Liu Qi's deployment of troops in Nanyang is just a bluff, but in fact, he wants to secretly take Hanzhong, and the people may have already set off." ”
"What?" Xiahou Nan was shocked, "Is the news accurate?" ”
Zhang Wei patted his chest and promised: "I lost the tens of thousands of dollars to the officers and soldiers, so I asked for the news, and I dare to vouch for my head!" ”
"Hehe, as I expected!" Xiahou Nan suddenly sneered, nodded and said, "Count your great merit, I will write it down and tell the prime minister on the same day." ”
Zhang Wei hurriedly said: "Before the current identity is special and unsuccessful, you must not disclose it, otherwise how can you find out the news again?" ”
"Yes, yes, what Mr. said is very true!" Xiahou Nan patted his forehead and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your identity is only known to God, you know me, and the cost will be the same in the future." On the day of success, I personally introduced it to the prime minister. ”
Zhang Wei thanked him and left, and Xiahou Nan also breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered the housekeeper to buy more goods from Jingzhou, while the goods from the north were being sold, and they had to hoard a lot of money, taking advantage of the instability of people's hearts to make a lot of money.
Then he personally wrote three secret letters and sent them to Kunyang, Xuchang and Chang'an, Xiahou Yuan, the second uncle, has always looked down on him, and this time he will definitely be impressed!
……
Liu Qi asked Guan Yu to train troops in Nanyang, made a big noise, and secretly planned to take Hanzhong directly.
coincided with Kuai Yue's resignation from illness, so he ordered Liu Xian to govern the middle, and Zhuge Liang concurrently served as the other driver, leading Jingzhou affairs, and set up four counties in Jingnan as Xiangzhou, with Deng Zhi as the governor.
In addition to Liu Pan and Huang Zhong, there are also two generals Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi, plus Kou Feng and Liu Xian, and those generals who deal with Zhang Lu are enough.
A second master placed in Wancheng will shake the Central Plains, and Cao Jun's mentality towards Jingzhou will also change, from offensive to defensive, and he has been invincible psychologically.
The current situation is also in line with Zhuge Liang's plan for Liu Bei in history, if Pang Tong did not rush into death when he took Yizhou, Zhuge Liang did not need to go into Sichuan to help, and stayed in Jingzhou with Guan Yu, how could there be anything to Lu Meng?
Now the cards in his hand are better than Liu Bei, and the situation is clearer.
