Bohai County, Nanpi City.

An uninvited guest came to the city, it was Yuan Shao's confidant Guo Tu.

As soon as Guo Tu saw Zhang He, he took out Yuan Shao's secret order: "General Zhang, the general has a military order!" ”

Zhang He glanced at the content of the military order, and his face suddenly changed: "Guo Shizhong, is this really the general's military order?" ”

Guo Tu sneered: "General Zhang, do you think that I will still deceive you?" If it weren't for the general's secret order, how could I have come to Nanpi to suffer? ”

Zhang He's eyes were still suspicious: "He doesn't understand! At this time, attacking and killing Xuande Gong's soldiers and horses, wouldn't it damage the reputation of the general? ”

Guo Tu's gaze was a little more ruthless: "General Zhang, that Liu Bei is the Qingzhou Mu of the puppet dynasty and the enemy of the general." You call Liu Bei the Duke of Xuande, aren't you still thinking about the old days? ”

Zhang He was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly defended: "Guo Shizhong misunderstood, that Xuan, that Liu Bei is the enemy of the general, and naturally he is also the enemy of He." ”

"He is just worried that the general's reputation may be damaged because of this."

Guo Tu's tone was not good: "Liu Bei, just a minister of the puppet dynasty, dared to get involved in the general's destruction of Gongsun Zhan." ”

"If it weren't for the plan to deal with Gongsun Zhan, how could the general allow Liu Bei to send troops to Jizhou?"

"This time, the general wants to let Liu Bei understand that if you mix blindly, you will die!"

"From now on, all the soldiers and horses in Nanpi City will be dispatched by me Guo Tu."

"General Zhang, don't make a mistake!"

Zhang He hurriedly bowed and lowered his posture: "Don't doubt Guo Shizhong, He's family members and relatives are all in Zhuocheng, how can they have two hearts?" ”

"It's good to know!" Guo Tu flicked his sleeves and looked arrogant: "Prepare a house for me, bring a pool, and prepare a few delicate maids for me, don't prevaricate with some pickled goods." ”

Zhang He secretly clenched his fists and agreed to Guo Tu's request.

"The general is going to kill Zhao Yun, and he has a mortal enmity with Xuande Gong." Zhang He couldn't help but sigh secretly.

The family was in Zhuocheng, and Zhang He didn't dare to disobey Yuan Shao's orders.

Thinking that he would have a mortal enmity with Liu Bei in the future, Zhang He was depressed for a while.

Before Yuan Shaogong Sun Zan supported the new emperor, Liu Bei could be said to have the grace of recommending Zhang He.

used to be the same Hanchen, Zhang He would not have any discomfort even if he was under Yuan Shao.

After all, Zhang He is capable, and he is from a wealthy family in Hejian State, and Yuan Shao will not abandon Zhang He because Zhang He has some friendship with Liu Bei.

But now it's different, the two emperors are on the same day, Zhang He and Liu Bei belong to two countries.

When Cao Cao spread rumors, although Yuan Shao ordered Zhang He to send troops to Nanpi, he asked Zhang He to move his family into Zhuocheng.

Obviously, Yuan Shao has suspicion of Zhang He!

After all, Zhang He has an old relationship with Liu Bei, and if he can't control Zhang He's family, Zhang He will vote for this accident.

Guo Tu came to Nanpi to prevent Zhang He from disobeying the military order and finding an excuse to let Zhao Yun go.

Leling City.

The flag of the sixth battalion of Qingzhou danced with the wind, and Liu Bei claimed to have stationed 30,000 elite soldiers here.

Before that, the six battalions set up their flags and bluffed, so Sun Jian's 5,000-strong military camp was really stationed in Leling City.

This information was also brought back to Zhuocheng by Xun Chen, and was unanimously recognized by Yuan Shao and his subordinate Wenwu.

Sun Jian also thinks that he is also in Leling City to bluff.

But today, Sun Jian wants to deny his previous judgment.

"Guan Junhou, General Dian, why are you two here?" Sun Jian looked at Guan Yu and Dian Wei in front of him in astonishment.

If only Dian Wei came to Leling City, Sun Jian would not be so surprised, after all, Dian Wei was only the deputy general of the Ruishi Battalion, and now there was no one to defend the side.

But when Xuzhou Mu Guan Yu came to Leling City, Sun Jian was surprised.

Guan Yu stroked his beautiful hair, and Dan Feng's eyes were as arrogant as ever: "After receiving the military order from the military division, Guan selected a thousand elite secrets to go north." ”

Dian Wei also said: "I am the same. The military advisor ordered me to lead a battalion of 1,000 sharp soldiers and secretly went north to Leling City. But I'm not called Dian Wei now, I'm called Zhang Fei now. ”

"Remember, my name is Zhang Fei now!"

"My weapons have been replaced with the Great Serpent Spear."

Dian Wei took a bite to say, and at first glance it sounded quite similar to Zhang Fei's tone.

Guan Yu came to Leling City, and Dian Wei pretended to be Zhang Fei to come to Leling City, this abnormal deployment made Sun Jian ask in surprise: "Is the military division going to fight Nanpi?" ”

Guan Yu shook his head: "The military advisor only let Guan go north to Leling City and wait for the opportunity to move, but the rest did not tell Guan." ”

Dian Wei's answer is the same: "The orders I got are the same as the second brother, they are all going north to Leling City and waiting for the opportunity to move." ”

Sun Jian frowned: "Waiting for the opportunity to move, that is, whether you can fight or not." Is it because the military advisor is so enthusiastic that he is worried that Yuan Shao will regret intercepting and killing General Zhao, so he asked me to wait to respond? ”

Dian Wei was too lazy to use his brain, and said: "This time, I also brought Mr. Zigang, and the second brother also let Mr. Yuanlong accompany the army, General Sun, is there anyone in your army who can make plans?" ”

"I'm waiting for the main general, why bother to meditate and think about it, just let a few marching military divisions discuss it."

I have to say that Dian Wei learned a lot like Zhang Fei, if Sun Jian didn't know Zhang Fei, he would probably have been convinced of the "fake Zhang Fei".

Sun Jian shook his head: "There is no marching division in our army. ”

Dian Wei's eyes widened: "Won't it?" You don't even have a military advisor in your army, and you can't even find anyone to consult with during this war? ”

Sun Jian couldn't help but sigh: "Originally, I left the post of marching military advisor to my son Sun Ce's righteous brother Zhou Yu, so I didn't let the general of Zhengbei appoint a wise man." ”

"As a result, Ah Yu went to the white-robed battalion as a marching military division."

As soon as he thought that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had gone to the White Robe Camp, Sun Jian had a toothache.

Without Sun Ce and Zhou Yu in the broken barracks, is it still called a broken barracks?

Sun Jian looked at Chen Deng and Zhang Hong, who were the marching military divisions behind Guan Yu and Dian Wei, and bowed: "The two gentlemen are here, do you know how we will act next?" ”

Zhang Hong chuckled: "Since you are waiting for the opportunity, you naturally just need to wait for the opportunity." ”

"General Sun must conceal our whereabouts, and don't leak the news so that Yuan Shaojun in Nanpi will notice something unusual."

"When the time comes, there will be a response."

Chen Deng also smiled: "I have already guessed one or two about the purpose of the conspiracy. But this is not the time to say it, as Brother Zigang said, General Sun only needs to conceal our whereabouts. ”

"The six battalions set up the flag, which is virtual and real, and it has just become a cover for us."

Sun Jian saw that Zhang Hong and Chen Deng were halfway talking, and knew that the secret was not something he could know now, so he didn't ask more, but opened up a military camp in the city alone with the two thousand new soldiers and horses.

At the same time, a large number of spies were also sent to Bohai County to inquire about intelligence.

And at this time.

Zheng Ping, who was deployed in Hebei, was on a merchant ship, listening to music and dancing.

Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun, the two young men, sat opposite each other and fought happily on the chessboard.

Da da da.

A sound of footsteps sounded, and another handsome young man arrived, it was Liu Ye of the Qingzhou boy Sanjie: "Military division, further forward is the mouth of the Juma River." The inventory was relatively strict, and the captain asked if he wanted to delay the re-entry into the river for two days. ”

Juma River originates in the depths of Taihang Mountain, in the Grand Canyon of Taihang Mountain Range, from west to east, flows through Shidu, from Yidu to the North China Plain, when the water volume is small, it enters Baiyangdian Lake, and when the water volume is large, it enters the Bohai Sea.

And the location of Zheng Ping's fleet is exactly at the mouth of the Juma River.

"Who's checking now?"

"Xu You's nephew Xu Yi."

"Give Xu Yi a boat, just say that there is a war in Youzhou recently, and it is inconvenient to sell salt, I hope Xu Yi can help find some buyers, and we will sell salt at this estuary."

"Strategist, will this movement be too big?"

Liu Ye was a little worried.

Although trade between the North and the South has not been prohibited, the situation between the North and the South has been somewhat tense lately, and the inventory of merchant ships has become stricter than in the past.

Zheng Ping shook his fan and chuckled: "Is this still called a big movement?" I didn't go directly to the west of the Juma River and enter Zhuo County, and I was already very restrained. ”

Liu Ye suddenly felt a little bad.

Strategist, do you still want to go to Zhuo County by the Juma River? It's really when Yuan Shao is blind!

Although Liu Ye accompanied the ship as Zheng Ping's assistant this time, he did not understand the purpose of Zheng Ping's northward trip.

Zheng Ping's verbal reason is very simple, take Liu Ye, Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun to see the world.

"Don't panic! We are just salt merchants, who will have trouble with money? Zheng Ping's tone was unhurried: "The dispute between the north and the south, the government is not in the people, and Yuan Shao is not stupid enough to use force against the salt merchants." ”

Although Liu Ye is talented, he is now just a young man who has not seen much of the world.

Seeing too little, this understanding naturally can't keep up with Zheng Ping's thinking.

is different from Yuan Shu, an outlier of a wealthy family, Yuan Shao's way of doing things is more inclined to the orthodox way of a wealthy family, and everything is based on interests.

If the general of Zhuocheng is replaced by Yuan Shu, in the face of the salt merchants from Qingzhou, Yuan Shu will have one word: rob!

Yuan Shao is different, Yuan Shao's way of doing things is also a benevolent way.

is different from Liu Bei's benevolence, Yuan Shao's benevolence is more reflected in tolerance and tolerance.

Forgiveness and tolerance are attached to the world.

In the face of danger, he is wise and courageous.

Shibuende, the world's corporal family benefited from it.

Therefore, even if Yuan Shao knew that it was a salt merchant from Qingzhou, he would not rob it like Yuan Shu, and he would not rather kill it than Cao Cao like Cao Cao.

Uplink and down.

Yuan Shao is like this, and the civil and military forces under Yuan Shao's command will naturally not worry, and finding buyers for the salt merchants in Qingzhou will be judged to be collaborators.

Profitability is the most important thing.

Of course, it is not excluded that some people will deliberately use this matter to fall into the ground.

Xu Yi got the benefit, and the inventory of this salt merchant fleet was not so strict.

After all, this salt merchant fleet will not enter the Juma River, but will only dock at the mouth of the Juma River near the Bohai Sea.

This kind of thing that has no risks and benefits, Xu Yi will naturally not miss it.

Soon.

Xu Yi found a buyer and booked out the salt purchase of Zheng Ping's caravan.

Shore.

Xu Yi held a banquet to entertain Zheng Ping, who called himself "Xu Ping".

"Brother Xu is heroic, it's not an honor to get to know Brother Xu!" It seems that the same surname Xu is more cordial, and Xu Yi's attitude towards Zheng Ping is very friendly.

Zheng Ping's appearance has changed a lot, not only has he had more hair, but he is also more than ten years old, so Xu Yikou, who is nearly thirty years old, calls Zheng Ping his brother.

Zheng Ping replied to Xu Yi enthusiastically: "If it weren't for the help of my virtuous brother, I would have lost all my money if I came to Youzhou to sell salt for my brother this time." ”

Xu Yi laughed: "Brother Xu is too polite. Later, as long as you report my name to Xu Yi, no one dares to stop Brother Xu's fleet. ”

While talking and laughing, Zheng Ping asked people to take a sandalwood box and carefully pushed it to Xu Yi: "Brother Xian, this is ambergris from the depths of the East China Sea." ”

"Brother Wei intends to give it to the Son of Heaven in Zhuocheng, and I also ask the virtuous brother to do it for me."

Xu Yi didn't answer, but asked meaningfully: "Brother Xu, if you send ambergris to the Son of Heaven, but not to the general, I'm afraid it's not easy to do." ”

Zheng Ping explained: "Brother Xian misunderstood. How could a general look down on ambergris of this quality? But giving it to the Son of Heaven is different. ”

"It's more or less beneficial."

Xu Yi pushed the sandalwood box back and politely refused: "Brother Xu, it's not that I don't help you, but I am not qualified to see the Son of Heaven at all, and the benefits you want will naturally not be available." ”

"Brother Xu, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, this son of heaven is a marionette, you have this heart, it's better to please the general."

"This ambergris, although the general can't look down on it, but the general's youngest son, Yuan Maigongzi, will definitely be able to look down on it."

"The general is quite doting on the little boy, if the little boy is happy, the general you want will give it to you."

Zheng Ping pretended to be happy: "Really? ”

Xu Yi's eyes were arrogant: "With the relationship between my uncle and the general, such secrets can still be discovered." If Brother Xu trusts him, how about giving this ambergris to the little boy for Brother Xu? ”

Zheng Ping pushed the sandalwood box to Xu Yi again, and said with a smile: "Brother Wei naturally trusts Brother Xian." ”

Xu Yi put the sandalwood box into his arms, and couldn't hold back the joy in his eyes, so he asked, "I don't know Brother Xu, what benefits do you want?" ”

Zheng Ping glanced around vigilantly, then approached Xu Yi and lowered his voice: "Brother Wei just wants to ask for an edict to avoid death." ”

"Edict against death?" Xu Yi narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively, "Brother Xu, do you want to be an internal response?" ”

Zheng Ping shook his head: "Brother Xian misunderstood. It's just an edict to avoid death, and this should be a brother. If the general can win, then the brother can guarantee that the salt merchants in Qingzhou will be respected by the general. ”

"But if the general loses."

Zheng Ping deliberately cut off the words, but Xu Yi also understood that the salt merchants in Qingzhou wanted to be the grass on the wall!

"Brother Xu, I understand what you mean." Xu Yi's eyes rolled: "This edict to avoid death, I can only try my best to ask for it for you." ”

Zheng Ping took out another sandalwood box and handed it to Xu Yi: "This is nature!" I heard that the virtuous brother is happy to add Lin'er, this is a thousand-year-old ginseng, and it is a small gift to Ling Lang for his brother, please smile. ”

Xu Yi's eyes straightened instantly, snatched the sandalwood box, sniffed the year of the old ginseng, and then laughed: "Brother Xu is polite, what kind of gift do the children want." ”

After Xu Yi left happily, Zheng Ping returned to the cabin, wiped his face, and returned to his normal appearance.

"Sure enough, this Xu Yi is as greedy as Xu Ziyuan."

"However, the more greedy Uncle and nephew Xu Yu are, the easier it will be for my plan to succeed."
