The four hundred and fortieth chapters of the master plan to set up a bureau
Chapter 444: The Lord’s second plan
Two days later, Zhang Hong finally arrived in Wuwei from Chang'an. However, Liu Zhang did not meet him because he was once Cai Yong's apprentice and had a close relationship with Liu Zhang. What's more, Guo Jia and Jia Xu took care of Zhang Hong.
Hong, in which round will Liu Zhang take action? The unlucky Zhang Hong is destined to let Jiangdong bloodlett.
"The person coming is Zigang." Guo Jia and Jia Xu had been waiting at the city gate for a long time. The two of them were so respectful that Zhang Hong was stunned. Unfortunately, Zhang Hong didn't know that his appearance at the city gate was doomed for him.
A sad fate.
"May I ask who you two are?" Although he didn't know each other, since the other party dared to address him by his cousin, Zhang Hong did not dare to neglect him.
"Guo Jia's character is Filial Piety, and I have been ordered to receive Brother Zigang." Guo Jia waved his feather fan lightly, and his indifferent expression and handsome appearance made Zhang Hong feel a little ashamed of himself.
"Jia Xu, courtesy name Wenhe, was ordered to receive Zigang." Jia Xu was older, so he couldn't call him brother. He slightly cupped his hands, and a ray of light shot out from his triangular eyes, which made Zhang Hong tremble all over, as if he saw a hidden ray of light.
A poisonous snake that spits messages in the dark
"Genius, poisonous man? It's you two who came to receive me. I'm really flattered." Hearing the two of them announcing their names, Zhang Hong's scalp felt a little numb. Although he is talented, compared with Guo Jia and Jia Xu, he is not as good as Guo Jia and Jia Xu.
It is true that the jackdaw is better than the phoenix, and the light of the firefly is brighter than the bright moon.
"That means my lord values you." Jia Xu asked with a smile, "I wonder what Zigang thinks of my lord?"
"One of the rare bright masters in the world" Jiang Dong asked for help from others, and he had to flatter him. Of course Zhang Hong did not dare to say that Liu Zhang was not a bright master.
"If you are asked to surrender to the Ming Lord, would you be willing?" Jia Xu's originally gloomy face suddenly became a little gloomy.
"Mr. Jia, what do you mean by this?" Zhang Hong almost ran away in fright, but he still had important responsibilities and couldn't run away.
"My master, Corporal Li Xian, values you very much. Since you also think that my master is a wise master, why don't you abandon the dark side and join the bright side?" Jia Xu smiled slightly and said, "In this way, everyone is happy."
"This..." Zhang Hong said seriously: "It is said that a loyal minister will not serve two masters, and a loyal woman will not marry two husbands. Although Zhang Hong is not talented, he is not a person who betrays his master."
"A loyal minister will not serve the two masters, because the sword and ax have not yet been added to the body. A martyr woman will not serve the two husbands, just because no one forces her. Otherwise, no matter whether you are a loyal minister or a martyr woman, you have to serve each other." Jia Xuyue said, the brighter in his eyes.
Sheng, Zhang Hong felt that the pressure on his body was getting bigger and bigger, and he even felt a little breathless.
"Don't you hear about Boyi on Shouyang Mountain, uncle Qi?" Zhang Hong resisted the pressure and looked at Jia Xu, even though the sharp light in Jia Xu's eyes hurt his eyes.
"Death is an easy thing. The most terrifying thing is that you can't live or die." Jia Xu spat out a sentence lightly, and the smell of blood filled his body. He was in charge of intelligence for Liu Zhang, and torture and confession were commonplace. Although
There was no murderous intent in him, but the smell of blood was indispensable.
"Is this how the champion treats envoys from other countries? It's so disappointing." Zhang Hong knew that if he continued to dwell on this topic, sooner or later he would be unable to resist Jia Xu's questioning, so he had to change the subject.
"I'm rude." Jia Xu said with a smile: "I have heard about Jiangdong Erzhang for a long time, and his reputation is like thunder. When I saw him today, he was indeed well-deserved. It's a pity that I can't meet Zhang Zhao, otherwise I will have to ask for advice. However, Zigang has
One sentence was wrong.”
"Oh?" Zhang Hong asked, "May I ask, sir, which sentence did I say wrong?"
"The vastness of the world belongs to the king's land. The shores of the land belong to the king's ministers. Although Sun defends Jiangdong, he is still a minister of the Han Dynasty. How can he be said to be an envoy from another country? If he is really an envoy from another country, my lord may not be so polite.
Jia Xu glanced at Zhang Hong and said: "I think back then, the envoys of the Xiongnu, Wuwan, and Xianbei kingdoms were exposed by my lord and chopped into pieces to feed the dogs."
"Hiss..." I had always heard that Liu Zhang was ferocious, but now that he saw it, he was indeed so evil. Zhang Hong took a breath and said with a smile: "Who in the world doesn't admire the champion hero? I am under the orders of General Mu Sun of Yangzhou.
Come to the champion for help. If there is anything rude, please forgive me."
"I'd like to ask Zigang to forgive me if I offended you just now." Jia Xu stepped forward and took Zhang Hong's hand and said: "I have prepared a post house in the city. Please Zigang wash it and rest for one night. We will study it tomorrow.
"The matter of sending troops"
"This..." Zhang Hong asked: "May I ask you two, when can I see the champion?"
"Brother Zigang, to be honest, you can't see the champion." Guo Jia said with a bitter smile: "The champion has entrusted us with all important military and political affairs, including Jiangdong's request to send troops."
"What?" Zhang Hong said in shock: "I heard that the champion is smart and diligent, so why would he leave all the affairs to you? If the champion is not sincere, I will leave immediately."
"Alas, brother Zigang, you don't know. Our Lord is over three years old, but he only has one son. A few days ago, he adopted an adopted son and said he wanted to train him to become a future general." Guo Jia's words almost frightened Zhang.
Hong fell to the ground. Zhang Hong didn't believe that Liu Zhang could train a general by just accepting an adopted son. Otherwise, Liu Zhang wouldn't have to do anything and could unify the world just by accepting an adopted son.
"How old is the child?" Zhang Hong asked weakly.
"Five years old" Guo Jia said with a smile: "My Lord said he has the qualifications and is a talented man in both civil and military fields."
"Okay, I understand." Zhang Hong didn't know what to say. He smiled bitterly and said: "Speaking of the champion's ability to recognize people, who in the world doesn't admire him? Since he said that the child has qualifications, he must be good.
, let’s just wait and see what happens.”
"That's what we mean too," Guo Jia said with a smile: "Actually, this is also because our Lord has too few wives and it is difficult to have heirs. Otherwise, why would we need to adopt adopted sons and train them?"
"What do you mean by this?" Zhang Hong heard it, and there was something in Guo Jia's words.
"There are some things that need to be considered by Brother Zigang." Guo Jiashen gave Zhang Hong a mysterious look, as if to say: You understand, don't pretend to be stupid. This made Monk Zhang Hong confused. He is
Really don't understand
"Okay, what does it look like to talk at the city gate all the time? Does Zigang want others to say that my lord doesn't know how to entertain guests?" Seeing that he had said what he said, Jia Xu smiled and said: "Please also ask Zigang to come into the city to rest and wait for us.
After the discussion is complete, I will ask my lord for instructions. When the time comes, if Zigang wants to see my lord, we will introduce him to you."
"Thank you both very much." Zhang Hong bowed and was led by Guo Jia and Jia Xu to the post house. After washing, his servants delivered meals. After eating delicious food and sipping Beidi liquor, Zhang Hong
Hong felt a little dissatisfied with the food. He had been thinking about Guo Jia's words.
"What does it mean?" Zhang Hong took a mouthful of vegetables and stuffed it directly into his mouth. He chewed it for a long time without realizing that he was eating a piece of ginger.
"Xiao Liu, has your mother-in-law given birth?" At this moment, a conversation between two people came from outside. I can't blame them for being too loud. It can only be said that the sound insulation effect of the post house is too poor. Just in Zhang
When Hong was about to tell the two of them to shut up, Xiao Liu's answer made his hand push towards the door freeze.
"No, damn it, if there is a girl again this time, I will have to take a concubine." Xiao Liu said roughly: "The champion treats his servants well, I can support several servants with my monthly salary.
When there is a girl on the run, I will buy one and ask her to give birth to some big fat boys for me. Old Li Tou. I heard that the concubine you took last time gave birth to another big fat boy for you. I am so envious of me.
"
"That's right. Your family, Old Liu, is very small. How can you do it with only one son?" Old Li smiled and said, "Don't tell me, we are old and strong, better than your boy. I have three concubines and seven sons, who are my lord.
You all have to envy me. I heard that my lord also has six or seven wives, but only one son. Now he has adopted an adopted son, why doesn’t he know how to find more women?"
"Tch, you know nothing." Xiao Liu said: "People from a wealthy family say they are well-matched. Who is the lord? When the world is unified, he will be the emperor. Can the emperor's concubine be a commoner's daughter or a woman who fled from the country?"
"That makes sense," Old Li said with a smile, "Do you think there is any other girl in the world who can match the master's level?"
"There are really not many." Xiao Liu said: "My lord is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. The Liu family is definitely not qualified. If you don't get married if you have the same surname, the only ones left are the Sun family of Jiangdong and the Cao family of Yanzhou. For the time being, other aristocratic families are still qualified. My lord is not
It’s strange that they won’t marry their direct children to their lord.”
"Sun family? Cao family? God knows if they have a daughter." Old Li said with a smile: "If my lord marries Cao Cao's daughter, wouldn't he be a generation younger than Cao Cao? And I heard that Cao Cao is nearly twenty years older than my lord, even if he is the youngest
The sisters are all older than the lord, how can the lord want an old woman? As for the Sun family, I don’t know if Sun Jian has a daughter. Otherwise, it would be really good to give her to the lord as a little girl."
"It makes sense." Xiao Liu laughed loudly, and suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Keep your voice down, I heard that there is a Jiangdong envoy living in the post house, don't let him hear it. Otherwise, he will go to the lord to complain, and you and I will eat it."
No, I just walked away.”
"Afraid of being wrong? You are the only one who is timid." Lao Li said: "My lord, have you ever bullied one of your own for the sake of outsiders? Don't say you are right. Even if you are wrong, my lord will hold it high and put it down gently. Who knows?"
How can we be strong? If Jiangdong and Cao Wei unite, they will still have a chance to fight, otherwise they will definitely not be the match of the lord. I heard that Jiangdong and Cao Wei were fighting, and the Sun family was almost done, so they sent an envoy to ask for help from the lord.
When we send troops, he has offended us, and we give him little shoes to wear, but he can't do anything about it."
"Ginger is still hotter than old." Xiao Liu asked: "Tell me, what will the Lord ask Jiang Dong for this time? Money, food, or beautiful women?"
"You are stupid, but you still don't believe me. Of course it's money and food. As for the beauty, it depends on whether Jiangdong is on the road." Lao Li chuckled and said: "Money and food are necessary. How can we not give money and food when we ask for reinforcements? Even if we work part-time,
The landlord has to give him half a bushel of wheat, otherwise who will do it for him? Beautiful women cannot be forced to come. You must know that a beautiful woman worthy of the lord must have an identity and status. The lord cannot ask for it, otherwise he will be looked upon by outsiders.
He is a drunkard and a womanizer. If Jiangdong is smart, he can find a beautiful woman with status and cry and give it to the lord, so that the lord can accept her. Do you understand?"
"I don't understand," Xiao Liu said, "Are the people from Jiangdong so mean?"
"This is strength," Lao Li said. "I think back then, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty didn't always give beautiful women to the Huns. That was because the Huns were strong. Later, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty became stronger, the Huns only wanted princesses."
"Xiao Liu, your wife is about to give birth, why don't you go back quickly?" Another voice sounded, and Xiao Liu sighed, followed by a series of footsteps. Zhang Hong, who was hiding in the room and eavesdropping, sat back
in front of the table.
"No son, concubine, childbearing, identity, status, Cao Cao, Jiangdong, marriage, marriage..." Zhang Hong muttered a string of nouns in his mouth, which seemed to be connected into one thing. He picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.
He thought to himself: "Did Liu Jiyu fall in love with the young lady? This is not something I can decide. I'd better write a letter and ask my lord."
As he was told, Zhang Hong immediately called his servants and wrote two letters with his guesses and sent them to Sun Ce and Sun Quan respectively. When the Jiangdong messenger left the post house, only two postmen, an old man and a young man, came quietly.
In another room of the post house, the two of them bowed and said flatteringly to a person standing in the dark corner of the corner: "Sir, we have done what you asked us to do, and the Jiangdong messenger has also left.
"Inn"
"Well done." The man standing in the darkness came out. It was Jia Xu. He smiled slightly and said: "The money on the table is all yours. Remember, keep your mouth shut, otherwise I don't mind letting you."
You always shut up"
"Don't worry, adults. I didn't do anything or say anything today, and I will disappear here." Old Li said: "I will retire and go back to my hometown, and Xiao Liu will go home to see his wife give birth to a baby..."
"That's very good." Jia Xu waved his hand and asked the two of them to retreat. When the room was empty, he grinned and said: "My lord, didn't you mean that if Jiang Dong shamelessly gave his daughter to you?
, what do you want? This time, I will find you a wife. I heard that the Gong Yao Ji from Jiangdong is a famous beauty, but she is a bit shrewd. If you insist on letting me be the teacher of the young master, I will naturally have to take care of you.
You, aren’t you?”
The next day, a clean Zhang Hong met with Jia Xu and Guo Jia again. The three chatted and were not in a hurry to discuss sending troops. Zhang Hong even asked Guo Jia and Jia Xu to take him on a tour of Wuwei City.
During the tour, we also tasted local delicacies. Of course, tasting the delicacies is fake, but delaying time is real.
It has to be said that Zhang Hong was very good at stalling for time. He took Jia Xu and Guo Jiadong to travel east and west, and even went hunting outside the city. After receiving the report, Liu Zhang was puzzled by Zhang Hong's behavior, but he
Guo Jia and Jia Xu have already handed over the matter of entertaining Zhang Hong to Guo Jia and Jia Xu. He believes that they can handle it well. But he doesn't know that the two of them are working together to plot against him. Even if he knows, they are not afraid. Now they have
The deal is done, as long as Jiang Dong nods, even if Liu Zhang doesn't want it
