Chapter 667: Expedition to the Lujiang River

Ni Heng couldn't stand someone being better than him, so he immediately refuted that this suggestion was not good. He suggested that Cao Zhi should first take the weakest Xu Gong, Zuo Rong to take the opportunity to annex Wu County and Yuzhang County.

Ni Heng's surgery on a soft persimmon immediately attracted the support of a group of people, bullying the weak and fearing the tough is a common problem for people!

Only Lu Su listened to Ni Heng's suggestion and stood up and said, "Your strategy can see benefits quickly, but Zijing thinks this is not a good strategy. Zijing thinks what Mr. Jia said makes sense. Taking down Lujiang, whether it is defeating Sun Ce or Lu Kang, can shock the counties of Yangzhou. The lord should not focus on expansion when he first led Yangzhou, but on establishing authority as the first priority!"

Lu Su's words not only made Cao Zhi nod, but Jia Xu's eyes lit up, thinking to himself: "This seemingly honest young man has some insights! It seems that this Cao Er's subordinate is still a bit capable!"

Ni Heng and Lu Su had a gap. Lu Su was still standing opposite him at this time, so he became even more angry. When he was about to refute, Deng Ai, who was calm and neutral, spoke first: "Then, Zijing, tell me, which side should we go to Lujiang to help? How to deal with him when we meet Liu Yao?"

Deng Ai's two questions made Lu Su shut up. He really didn't know who to send troops to Lujiang. He just thought Jia Xu's general direction was good.

Just when Lu Su didn't know how to answer Deng Ai's two questions, Jia Xu sighed inwardly and decided to come out to help this seemingly honest young man.

Jia Xu continued to speak in shock, and walked forward a few steps forward, and spoke confidently: "The two families do not help. The subordinates suggest that they take down Ruxuwu first and then advance to Wancheng. Both families must be destroyed. Of course, it is best to make them both lose money. Liu Yao must characterize him as a 'rebel' and must disappear from others. The resistance troops encountered by the lord will be classified as rebels!"

Jia Xu's bold suggestion finally made the hall quiet, and for a moment, a needle fell in the hall was clearly heard. Everyone was stunned. What was Jia Xu thinking? Even the orthodox governor of Yangzhou wanted to kill him!

Lu Su widened his round eyes, and the eyebrows of both silkworms stood up. He was not familiar with Jia Xu. He had only heard that he had followed Li Jue from the Western Liang Army and controlled the government affairs for a period of time, but he did not expect to be so ruthless.

Deng Aibi Lusu knew more about Jia Xu, and he shook his head and sighed secretly: "This poisonous man is really as his name!"

Ni Heng began to think about how to increase the information about the several strategists and generals brought back by Cao Zhixin. These people didn't seem simple.

For a moment when everyone had their own thoughts, Cao Zhi took a cold breath and frowned and asked Jia Xu: "Mr. I don't object to me, but Liu Yao was the governor of Yangzhou after all. I heard that this person was also a very insightful person when he was in Chang'an. He did not commit any heinous crimes when he came to Yangzhou. If I force him to kill him, would he...?"

Cao Zhi just wanted to use Jia Xu as a cannon to cause a controversy, but he didn't expect that this guy would come up with his plan to be a "poison warrior", and he was very cruel!

"My lord, please listen to Jia Xu's words. It's just a temporary one. Unlike the governor, the governor is the main job. I believe that there is no need for Jia Xu to say clearly. The lord and all the adults understand. The lord is now getting favors, so why not take advantage of this opportunity to raise his own flag among the powerful. This will not only motivate the world, increase the influence of the Cao family in China, but also truly own Yangzhou. Why not do it! And these things will be done sooner or later, unless the lord is like Wenhe, not enterprising..."

Jia Xu once again spoke generously, and after saying that, he was stunned and said, "Why did I teach him so much? He doesn't look like he has the talents of emperors and generals?"

But after saying it, Jia Xu smiled mockingly, and in a state of uneasiness, he felt a strange feeling in his heart. He also said that he could not hold back and made an impulsive mistake, and it was not enough to watch Cao Zhi's reaction.

In the end, Cao Zhi's performance and decision disappointed Jia Xu. With the persuasion and suggestions of many advisers and generals, Cao Zhi was finally unable to bear the heart and decided to send troops to Lujiang first. However, the opinion proposed by Jia Xu to characterize Liu Yao as a rebel was not adopted. In the manifesto and announcement, he only removed Liu Yao's position as the governor of Yangzhou, leaving Liu Yao a way out for retreat.

After the meeting, Jia Xu walked out of the conference hall staggeringly and was about to rush back to the residence that Ni Heng arranged for him and his family, Xun Chen hurriedly caught up with Jia Xu, and kindly pulled Jia Xu to ask him what he thought about Cao Zhi's excessive "cowardice" behavior today.

When Jia Xu heard Xun Chen's words, his little eyes flashed and he looked at Xun Chen. Until he felt aroused in his heart when Xun Chen looked at him, Xun Chen also knew the benefits of the little eyes for the first time and gathered!

Xun Chen was about to explain that this was purely his personal confusion, which did not mean that anyone was not helping Cao Zhi test Jia Xu. It was just because he was a newcomer to Cao Zhi's team, just like to share his views.

Without waiting for Xun Chen to explain, Jia Xu smiled and said, "I think that our lord is not bad even though he is a little young and impulsive!"

"But... for an irrelevant Liu Yao, I'll leave a great opportunity..."

Before Xun Chen could finish his words, Jia Xu suddenly interrupted Xun Chen again and asked: "Mr. Xun... I would like to ask you a question. If... if our lord is the kind of person who can be cruel, ruthless, and use any means to sacrifice anyone for the sake of success? If he was such a person, would you still be so willing to follow him like now?"

Xun Chen: "Uh..." After a long time, he couldn't answer Jia Xu's question.

Jia Xu looked at Xun Chen, a smile flashed in his eyes. He walked over, gently flicked his little finger, pulled Xun Chen's sleeve, and smiled and said, "Okay, I'm a good person anyway, I've done all the bad guys, and I'm a little angry, it's so good. Anyway, I'm not like you who think about a bright future. I just want to have a place to make tricks for a while. I can't stay here anymore, so I'll go somewhere else. Don't be like me, do it well, Lao Xun!" After saying that, Jia Xu patted Xun Chen's shoulder meaningfully, passed by, and continued to walk away leisurely.

The sunset is setting, and the sky is filled with red clouds, which makes the originally cool evening look a little red, as if full of fairy spirit.

After listening to Xun Chen's report patiently, Cao Zhi nodded and asked Gong without looking back, Xun Chen stood on the side: "Are these things Li Ru asked you to do?"

"Report to the lord, it's... Military Advisor Li, too..." Xun Chen did not expect that Cao Zhi would reveal the source of his surveillance Jia Xu's orders at one glance, so he quickly wanted to explain to Li Ru.

"I understand, thank you for your hard work, it's okay, go and rest!"

Cao Zhi didn't understand that he was also bold and cunning, and he still trained these tricks by himself! He also understood that Li Ru was for his own good. It was normal for Li Ru to have some reservations for him like Jia Xu, who was two-faced and three-sword and only wanted to be stable. It was normal for Li Ru to have some reservations about him. How good is Cao Zhi's style of life. Cao Zhi interrupted Xun Chen's explanation. After Xun Chen stepped out, he looked at the sunset and muttered to himself: "Jia Xu, you don't know that no emperor or general is born. It's just a legend. They all rely on acquired cultivation and opportunities. I don't know that my opportunities are in front of you. Don't think about going there anymore, stay with me honestly..."

After retiring Xun Chen, Ni Heng and Deng Ai joined forces. Ni Heng reported to Cao Zhihui with a happy look: "It has been found that the old prefect of Wu County Sheng Xian was hidden by Gao Dai in his friend's house. He is not dead yet, but they have no intention of seeking the lord, and have not sent anyone to contact him until now. According to Cha Shengxian and others, they are actively contacting Zhu Zhi, the newly appointed commander of Wu County, and want to use him to move to Xugong and take over Wu County to regain Wu County. This is not important. What is important is that Zhu Zhi is an old subordinate of Sun Jian in the past. I think even if he moves to Xugong, he will not make Sheng Xian the prefect. We are worried that he will welcome Sun Ce into Wu County."

"Well, this Zhu Zhi is interesting, that Sheng Xian is even more interesting, and he wants to be the prefect of Wu County! Haha... Let them go and have a hard time. Isn't the only one in Wu County who wants to be the prefect, right?" Cao Zhi asked with a calm expression.

When Deng Ai saw Cao Zhi ask, he bowed and replied, "Yes, the lord is a wise plan. He has sent people to the Yangcheng Lake county in Wujun to rebel those who intend to make their own decisions. Several hairy crabs have been sent to the Yangcheng Lake area of ​​Wujun. Yan Baihu, Zou Tuo, Qian Tong, and Wang Sheng all intend to form an alliance with the lord to deal with Xu Gong together. However, these people have a mixed composition. Yan Baihu is a local tyrant, and has gathered some troops and is preparing to revive. But he and Zou Tuo, Qian Tong, and Wang Sheng are not on the same journey. His request is not to be the prefect of Wujun, but to ask the lord to agree to him that after the extermination of Xu Gong, the two counties of Yuhang and Wucheng in Yangcheng Lake will be assigned to him!"

When Cao Zhi heard that Yan Baihu wanted territory, he sneered, glared and cursed: "He probably had a problem with his brain. It's a joke to ask me to admit that he had a private territory under my Yangzhou administration!" After Cao Zhi laughed at Yan Baihu, his smile stopped, and then turned around and asked: "Then, what did Wang Sheng, the former prefect of Hepu (Guangxi), say?"

Ni Heng gave a remark to his face and immediately replied: "He hopes that his lord will support him to become the new prefect of Wujun!"

"Oh, this retired bureaucrat who has retired and returned home is quite active!" Cao Zhi's expression became cold and turned to Ni Heng. Deng Ai said: "Promise them, whether it is Yan Baihu or Wang Sheng, tell them that if they want to get what they want, they must first kill Zhu Zhi and Xu Gong!"

"yes!"

"Abide by the order!"

Ni Heng and Deng Ai had not seen Cao Zhi for a while, and suddenly they were indifferent to him and felt a little unfamiliar with their behavior, which made them feel a little cold in their spine. This was probably the change that powerful officials should have.
