Xuzhou.

Guo Pu hurriedly broke into the Jiedu Envoy's mansion, went straight to the place where Gao Yu was staying, grabbed the military captain Wu who was guarding outside the courtyard and hurriedly said: "I have something important to ask to see King Wu, please report it quickly!"

Gao Biao's personal guard commander saw that it was Guo Pu, and knew the intelligence of this outstanding Confucian scholar in the army, so he didn't dare to slack off, and replied Mr. Later, he quickly turned around and walked into the courtyard.

It was not early, the sun was about to set, Gao Biao had just finished dealing with military and political affairs at this time, and was ordering to recruit a few waiters, and at the same time ordered tea and pastries, intending to relax. Hearing the anxious voice of the commander of the guard, Gao Biao's heart suddenly felt a little impatient, and he said in a stiff tone: "Come in." ”

After the commander of the guards entered the house, he immediately hugged his fists and said, "Mr. Guo came in a hurry, saying that there is something important and needs to be presented to His Highness." ”

"Guo Pu, what is the important thing he needs to come over at this time?" Gao Yu frowned slightly.

Now that the Wu army has captured the entire territory of Xuzhou, and is deploying troops to Bianzhou and Gunzhou, Xuzhou is also occupied by Wang Jian, and half of the Central Plains is about to fall into his hands.

Isn't it Li Maozhen's actions?

However, the routine report the day before yesterday also said that the Guanzhong army was still stationed in Tongguan and showed no signs of rushing into the Central Plains. It's not like in just two days, Li Maozhen's soldiers and horses have arrived in Bianzhou, right?

If it weren't for this kind of military intelligence, what could not wait until tomorrow?

Gao Yu, who had just won a big victory, couldn't help but be a little proud and slack, and thought to himself: "These Confucian scholars, all of them like to advertise themselves as loyal and honest people, conscientious ministers who worry about the country, and they also like to talk about big things all night, so that I don't even have time to rest, which is really hateful!"

"Let's just say that the Lone King has been busy all day today, and he is too tired, and he has rested, let him come back tomorrow!" Gao Biao said coldly.

He made up his mind that he couldn't continue to spoil these scholars, lest the other party's temper would rise day by day - the general trend of the world was unclear before, and he had to pay seven respects to Confucianism, but now that the general trend of the Central Plains has been decided, it is time to rectify the words and deeds of these scholars, so that they know what Wang Wei is supreme.

Hearing this, the Commander of the Guards changed his eyes slightly, and before he could speak, several handsomes with good looks and fresh makeup had already entered the house under the leadership of King Wu's attendants, and the Commander of the Guards knew that the other party was indeed planning to rest.

"Yes, the last general will go back. "The commander of the guards led the order.

Guo Pu waited outside the gate of the courtyard for half a ring, and when he saw the commander of the guards coming out, he immediately walked up the steps and was about to enter the courtyard. In Guo Pu's opinion, Gao Biao must have allowed him to come in, after all, the other party had never turned him away in the past.

"Mr. Guo, please stay!"

To Guo Pu's surprise, the commander of the personal guard stood in front of him this time.

"What are you doing in my way?" Guo Pu was puzzled.

The commander of the guards clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness is tired today, please come back tomorrow." ”

"What?" Guo Pu was stunned, "You didn't say I came with an emergency military situation?"

You only said that it was important, but you didn't say that it was an emergency...... The corners of the guard's mouth twitched slightly, remembering Gao Yu's attitude just now, he wisely felt that he couldn't go in and disturb again, otherwise he would definitely be scolded, "I said." ”

"So His Highness won't let me in?"

"Yes......"

"That's unreasonable!" Guo Pu was furious, pushed away the commander of the guard, and strode into the courtyard.

"Mr. Guo!" The commander of the guards didn't expect the other party to dare to break through, but he didn't expect it for a while, the other party had already arrived in the courtyard, and then he realized that the other party's cultivation was no worse than his own. It was too late to stop him, but he still followed, "Mr. Guo, stay quickly!"

Where would Guo Pu pay attention to him, and he didn't report it when he got to the door, so he directly pushed the door open.

At this time, the monks who were guarding Gao Pu's safety on the left and right appeared strangely from everywhere, and in the blink of an eye, they had already arrived beside Guo Pu and surrounded him. Seeing that they were not kind with their blades in their hands, they were obviously ready to make a move.

Pushing open the door and seeing the scene in the house, Guo Pu couldn't help but be angry.

Gao Xiao, who said that he was tired and resting, was sitting on the low floor casually at this time, several beauties were rubbing his shoulders and beating his legs, and the elegant and plump female Ji was kneeling on the side to make tea, looking relaxed and enjoying herself.

"King Wu!" Guo Pu opened his mouth in a heartbroken tone, but when the words full of anger came out, he paused first, probably because he didn't think about what to say next, or the predetermined rhetoric was not useful.

Startled by the movement of him opening the door and shouting, Gao Biao instantly sat up straight, and when he saw that it was Guo Pu outside, he was also angry for a moment.

Guo Pu reprimanded: "The world is undecided, the people of Li are hanging upside down, the soldiers are fighting bloodily, and the officials are fighting hard, and King Wu has actually begun to covet pleasure?!"

"Guo Pu!" Gao Biao stood up suddenly, pointing at Guo Pu's nose and was about to scold, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.

Holding back his anger, Gao Biao waved his hand and said to the beauty beside him and the monk with Guo Pu outside the door: "Go down!"

As soon as Guo Pu came up, he buttoned a big hat on him, so that he couldn't pull down his face and scold the other party angrily, otherwise the image of the benevolent, righteous and virtuous king he had always maintained would be ruined, and if this matter spread, it would be very detrimental to his reputation.

When the waiters and guards retreated, Gao Yu sat back and stared at Guo Pu coldly, "Without the permission of the Lone King, trespassing into the Lone King's residence, I don't know what is important to Mr. Guo, worthy of such rudeness?"

If it were a normal time, Guo Pu would definitely have to reason with the other party for a while, but at this moment, he didn't have the leisure to do so, because the military situation was too urgent, "I received reliable news that Li Maozhen, the king of Qi, has united with King An's old department, and there are nearly a million soldiers on both sides, and they have gone to Luoyang day and night!"

Gao Biao was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but laugh and said: "Li Maozhen's soldiers and horses, united with Li Ye's old troops, and went to Luoyang day and night? Mr. Guo, what kind of news are you, isn't it that some bold person has cheated you out of money?"

It is not a new thing for some people to go to the government to make alarmist and false reports about the military situation in order to deceive rewards.

When Guo Pu heard this, he only felt that he had been greatly insulted, and said coldly: "The news is that the lowly subordinates have traveled several places and risked their lives to send them back! You might as well tell Your Highness that this is still the news a few days ago, and now the army of King Qi and King An's old army may have been at war with Wang Jian!"

Gao Yu fell silent.

After a long time, he raised his head, still feeling unrealistic, "Is this really the case? How could King An's old ministry unite with Li Maozhen? This is impossible.....

"How could it be impossible? King Wu and King Shu intend to annex the Central Plains, and it is logical for King An's old department to unite with the excluded King Qi in order to keep his own city!"

"Then it's impossible for them to take the initiative to attack Luoyang......, right? So meticulous?"

Guo Pu snorted coldly, "If it weren't for careful action, how could we not have noticed it before? This is exactly what the humble duty wants to remind King Wu to pay attention to, and it is also what the humble duty wants to discuss with King Wu!"

In the face of the big right and wrong, Gao Biao couldn't care about it, "Where is the person who sent the news back now?"

When he sent back the news, he fainted from exhaustion...... However, King Wu can rest assured that his humble position has made his masters pour out of the nest and inquire about the situation in various feudal towns around, and before dawn tomorrow, accurate news will be sent back!"

"Yes, sir, you are really wise!"

"King Wu should also send a True Human Realm master to dispatch and go everywhere to respond!"

"What the gentleman said is...... Someone!"

......

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, the meeting hall of the Xuzhou Jiedu Envoy's Mansion was full of people, and people came in one after another.

In the corridor outside the hall, Guo Pu and Zhang Zhongsheng were standing together, receiving and exchanging the latest information that was constantly coming back. This information was exchanged for the lives of many real realm masters, and it was bloody and shocking.

As the news gathered, the faces of the two became more and more ugly.

"Before the discussion, this matter must be reported to King Wu!"

"That's exactly how it should be!"

Soon, Gao Biao got a report from Guo Pu and Zhang Zhongsheng.

"What?!The Shu army has been defeated?Wang Jian has withdrawn to the territory of Dengzhou?!" Gao Biao was having breakfast, and when he heard this, he was startled, and the dishes and chopsticks fell directly to the ground and shattered.

"That's true!" Guo Pu grimaced.

"This ...... The Lone King didn't even receive any news! Wang Jian's family didn't even send anyone over to inform the Lone King? He had hundreds of thousands of troops, how could he be defeated so quickly! Li Maozhen's soldiers and horses were so brave? This is impossible!" Gao Biao lost his mind for a moment, and he looked quite flustered.

Zhang Zhongsheng said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, Li Maozhen is assisted by soldiers, and it is certain that the army is strong, but if he can defeat Wang Jian so quickly, he must have the help of King An's old subordinates...... Although I don't know what method Li Maozhen used, there are all kinds of signs that he can now move King An's old department freely!"

Gao Biao sat on the round stool all of a sudden, his eyes lost for a while, and then he immediately became angry, and slammed his fist on the table, "Bastard! Li Maozhen, this bird, can actually do something, it's really ...... There is really no hero in the time, and the air makes the erection reckless!"

Guo Pu and Zhang Zhongsheng glanced at each other, and their hearts were a little settled. Fang Cai Gao Yu angrily slammed the table, but did not smash the table, obviously controlling the power, which showed that the other party had regained his sanity and calm.

The monk found out that the elite cavalry of the Guanzhong Army and the Pinglu Army were rushing from Xuzhou to Xuzhou, and there were also signs of a large number of troops in the direction of Gunzhou. Obviously, after Li Maozhen solves Wang Jian, he wants to use the method of dealing with the Shu army to give us a surprise blow!"

Guo Pu said solemnly, "The situation is critical, and a vicious battle is inevitable, please make plans as soon as possible." Fortunately, we have already detected the other party's intentions in time, so that we will not be like the Shu army, when we are killed by the enemy and only find out that the situation is wrong, and we don't even have time to respond. ”

Gao Yu nodded: "What Mr. said is that the Pinglu Army, which is closest to us, is still a few days away, as long as we arrange it properly, we don't need to panic, if we can plan it, it will be enough to turn the situation around!"

Speaking of this, he got up and left his seat, came to Guo Pu, and made a big salute: "Thanks to Mr. and Confucianism this time, the lonely king can avoid great disasters, and it was the lonely king who was slacking off before, please forgive me." ”

Guo Pu was relieved, a smile appeared on his face, and he hurriedly returned the salute, "This is a humble duty." As long as King Wu can achieve great things, save the difficulties, and benefit the common people, I and other Confucian scholars are willing to sink their hearts and brains. ”
