Chapter 6 The War Begins

...

Jian Yong and Lin Zhe discussed for nearly two hours. Most of the time, Lin Zhe was talking and Jian Yong was listening.

At this moment, Jian Yong, who was standing with his hands tied, seemed to be reminded of how he was studying in the past.

At that time, just like now, when the gentleman was speaking, he stood aside and did not dare to answer the question at all.

In other words...I can't answer the conversation at all!

After all, anyone can lie, but knowledge cannot, because...if you can't, you can't.

It's been two hours, and he hasn't even solved the arithmetic problem at the beginning...

...

There were few stars at night, and the cold wind howled by.

The cold moonlight shone on the street, printing a slender figure.

Jian Yong walked out of Lin Zhe's house in a state of despair, with mixed emotions in his heart. He couldn't tell what he felt like.

He had actually made preparations before coming. He planned to humiliate Lin Zhe first and let him know the depth, and then give him a favor and allow him to study with him.

With a big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other, he can not only win over a talented young man, but also scare others.

Best of both worlds!

However, now I realize that it is me who is sitting in the well and looking at the sky!

Are the things Lin Zhe said really something a fifteen-year-old boy can know?

He really can't figure it out!

Just when he was lost in thought, a familiar voice called him.

"Xianhe stays!"

Hearing the sound, Jian Yong stopped, looked forward along the sound, and found a carriage parked on the side of the road.

I saw Chen Denshi stepping down from the carriage calmly, bowing to Jian Yong with clasped fists, and said: "What a coincidence. I planned to visit Xianhe on the way, but I never expected to meet him here first.

,Xianhe just came out from little brother Lin?"

Jian Yong's lips twisted into a smile with difficulty, and he returned the salute to Chen Deng.

He knew what Chen Deng wanted to do. In the final analysis, they all came here for the same purpose.

Jian Yong's temperament has always been simple and straightforward. He clasped his fists and made his words clear.

"Yuanlong, Yong has indeed just come out of the Xianyun Mansion. The purpose of Yong coming here this time is to test his depth. If possible, it would be best to teach him a lesson!"

"After all, a teenage boy has no power and no foundation. He has just come to seek refuge with the lord and is now in a high position. This is unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally!"

"Yuan Long must have thought so too!"

Jian Yong was so straightforward. Chen Deng obviously didn't adapt. He was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing. Then he looked at Jian Yong attentively and asked, "What's the result of I don't know Xianhe's test?"

"Result?!" Jian Yong shook his head.

"I can only say... I, Jian Xianhe, am convinced. If possible, I would be willing to lead his horse and ride on it!"

"Destiny lies with Han!"

"Destiny lies with my lord..."

After saying that, Jian Yong left without looking back, not even saying goodbye to Chen Deng.

After Jian Yong left, another person walked out from behind the carriage. He was dressed in green clothes and a crown with elegant appearance. Although he was dressed as a scholar, he had a hint of a businessman.

He came to Chen Deng's side and stood there, then asked: "What do Yuan Long think?!"

This person was none other than Mi Zhu, the largest merchant in Xuzhou. He had been hiding behind the carriage and did not show up until Jian Yong left, and then he came out.

After hearing Mi Zhu's question, Chen Deng looked in the direction where Jian Yong left and frowned.

"Although Jian Xianhe is not very wise, he is always good at eloquence. He never gives in to others. Even in front of the lord, he sits cross-legged and ignores the dignity. How have you ever praised someone like he did today?!"

"Leading a horse and riding it down...that's not a low opinion!"

Mi Zhu nodded, knowing that Chen Deng was right. If it was like what Jian Yong said, he would also want to get to know Lin Zhe again.

When Lin Zhe was mentioned, Mi Zhu seemed to have thought of something. He changed the topic and asked: "No matter whether Lin Zhe is a great talent or not, if he establishes a firm foothold and really tempts his lord to abandon Xuzhou and go to Jingzhou...

What did Yuan Long plan?!"

"Intend?!"

Chen Deng hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand, with a hint of depth in his eyes.

"There is no rush in this matter, my lord will probably not agree..."

Chen Deng didn't intend to make a decision immediately. He was different from Mi Zhu.

His great-grandfather was Chen Qi, the prefect of Guanghan, his eldest grandson was Chen Qiu, the prefect, and his father was Chen Gui, the prime minister of Pei. He was also the nephew of Chen Yu, the prefect of the Wu army, and Chen Cong, the prefect of Ruyin.

It can be said that he is a descendant of a serious official family and his roots are in Xuzhou. How could he leave so easily?

As for Mi Zhu?

Even though he is rich and wealthy, with thousands of servants and customers, he is still a merchant after all.

The current situation is turbulent. No matter how rich a merchant is, it is of no use. One day, some prince who is short of food may find an excuse to ransack his home.

Therefore, Mi Zhu could only choose to seek refuge in one party and seek protection.

As for myself... I still need to think about it...

...

...

Early the next morning.

In the main hall of the city lord's palace, all Xuzhou civil and military officials were present, and Liu Bei announced the battle plan at this time.

When Yuan Shu attacked this time, he sent 100,000 troops from Yinling, passed through Huailing, and went straight between Xiapi and Guangling. It was obvious that they were heading towards Guangling.

Therefore, after discussion, most of Liu Bei and Guan Yu's troops will be deployed in Xuyi and Huaiyin.

As for Xuzhou, Zhang Fei and Chen Deng were in charge; Lin Zhe and Jian Yong led 3,000 troops and were stationed around Xiaopei, always on guard against Lu Bu's rebellion.

Everything has been arranged and the war is about to break out!

However, just when Liu Bei was about to give the order to set off, Lin Zhe stood up, saluted Liu Bei, and then looked at Zhang Fei.

"My lord, Zhe has something to tell General Zhang!"

Jian Yong, Chen Deng, Mi Zhu and others had originally decided to go down, but when they heard Lin Zhe's words, they stopped again.

"Whatever the military advisor wants to tell me, just say it. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it!"

Lin Zhe took a deep breath, looked at Zhang Fei attentively, and said: "Xiapi is the foundation of my lord's business. As long as Xiapi is not lost, even if my lord and I have no achievements in this expedition, we can still return to Xiapi and borrow money."

Its location is favorable to resist foreign enemies!"

"If Xiapi is lost, we will no longer have a place in Xuzhou!"

Zhang Fei waved his hand, showing an impatient expression.

"I know, I know...it's these words again, what do I think? The military advisor is really verbose!"

"Xiapi City is high and the pond is deep, can I still lose it? Just don't worry!"

Ever since Lin Zhe took refuge with his elder brother, he had to tell himself this almost every day.

Now in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, Lin Zhe specifically gave instructions, clearly showing his distrust in his ability.

Lin Zhe ignored Zhang Fei's impatient mood. Instead, he took a step forward and said bluntly in front of everyone: "General Zhang has always been good at drinking, and he is strong after drinking. He is more likely to whip the soldiers. In addition, he acts recklessly and cannot listen."

Human words!”

"What if during the defense of the city, the general gathered a crowd to drink, and someone happened to bump into the general at the banquet."

"If the general ordered the soldiers to be whipped, and the soldiers who were beaten were resentful, they collaborated with foreign enemies and took the opportunity to join forces with foreign enemies to attack Xiapi in a surprise attack. What would the general do?!"
