Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 169 The big man is so kind, filial piety comes first

above the hall.

The three men in black clothes were ushered into the main hall by Su Wei, and they looked surprised at Xu Zhen.

Put your fists together and salute.

They had heard that this accomplished prince was not very old, but they did not expect to be so young.

It looks like 25 six.

He didn't even grow a beard, only a short thick thick circle on the lower part of his cheeks, which looked mature and stable, rather serious.

Actually Xu Zhen is already 28.

Since following Cao Cao, it has been a full six years this year, and it was just a while ago that his life span had just increased.

Now 81 years of life expectancy, the corresponding also looks younger.

"See the prince."

"He Tong next time." The thinner man's voice was slightly sharp, and he stood on the left.

The one on the right is stronger, with very dark skin and particularly thick arms. It can be seen that he has been exercising regularly, which makes his hands strong.

It may also be a person with a blunt weapon, or someone who is extremely good at archery.

"Under the Zhao Festival."

As for the short, stocky one in the middle, Xu Zhen already knew him.

repair year.

Even when he wasn't smiling, he looked a little funny, Xu Zhen would think of Xiu Nian every time.

The hair is more like a tie.

"Your Majesty!" Lu Yan's mood was obviously much lighter when he came this time, and the injuries on his face were almost healed.

Cleaned up a little bit.

To Xu Zhen, he was full of admiration and gratitude in his heart. Although Xu Zhen tortured him all night, he was able to return to Wu County.

If not, I don't know where he would have been killed by Sun Ce's pursuers now.

"This time, what's the matter?"

Xu Zhen asked concisely and immediately.

It was almost July now, and there was not much time left for him.

At the end of September, it is estimated that the march will return.

Even if you can procrastinate, it will come out in October at most.

If he was not in Jiujiang, other officials could not decide on many things, and it would be quite troublesome to send letters to Lujiang.

"Junhou, these two disciples are under the command of my family's captain, and they are very respected people."

"This time, I brought the captain's message to discuss with Junhou, and I have something to say to Junhou."

Thinking of this, Xiu Nian walked a little closer, of course he didn't dare to get too close, he was afraid that Xu Zhen would slap him into the floor again and he wouldn't be able to pick it out.

With a happy smile, "My Captain also brought a lot of presents."

"It's all on the caravan. He knows that you don't like to accept gifts, so it's all on the caravan, and there are many promises from the gentry."

"The iron-copper ore you need can be exchanged for wood and grain... If you want gold and silver, you can also get preferential access."

"Have a heart."

Xu Zhen nodded.

Although he had long thought that his coming this time might bring such news, he still felt peace deep in his heart.

Perhaps, luck is really good.

When something is in short supply, there will naturally be someone to help.

Help those who have attained the Tao.

Sooner or later, I will become a fairy.

"So, what does Xu Gong need?"

Xu Zhen asked calmly, his posture was correct, and his face had been serious for a long time.

"Sun Ce attacked Wu Jing and Wang Lang, and they all went down. His bravery was just like Xiang Ji's style back then, and he was extremely ruthless, and his style was straightforward."

"That's why my captain can only go to Xu Zhao's place with Yan Baihu."

"If it weren't for you and the prince in Jiujiang, I am afraid that when you have nowhere to go, you will have to go to Shixie to save yourself."

"Not really."

Xu Zhen waved his hand immediately, and Shi Xie finally joined the Sun family, so he was killed if he went there.

"Your Majesty, let's go down to my family's captain first, just ask for a place to stay."

"Like Wang Lang and others, they are also seeking the help of the emperor in the north to resist Sun Ce's atrocities. If you are not here, we can only go to Liu Biao in Jingzhou."

"But if this is the case, Sun Ce and Liu Biao had a grudge with him, so if he defected like this, his family might not be safe and they would all be killed by him."

Xu Zhen became silent at this moment, and did not rush to answer.

He was subconsciously waiting. Judging from the people he had been in contact with over the years, if he waited a little longer, maybe they would be even more anxious.

When talking, if you have the upper hand, then there is no need to agree immediately.

Of course, this doesn't have to be the case with friends.

However, Xu Gong, the master of Xiu Nian, has many good intentions, but he is not yet his friend.

"Your Majesty!" Lu Yan was really anxious.

Standing on his left and right He Tong and Zhao Jie also clasped their fists, He Tong should be better at talking, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, if there is a place for shelter, our two thousand soldiers will be used by you."

"The wealth of the captain and his family can also be used to subsidize the princes, so as to strengthen the army of the princes and princes."

"If you can make meritorious service in the future, you don't need any wealth and glory. As long as I am a captain, I can return to my original post and protect my family."

As long as two thousand stone.

Xu Zhen can seal it now.

Although Xu Gong secretly harmed Sun Ce's name and did something shady, but this was his plan and it was nothing at all.

If you give him back the two thousand stones, it will benefit the people without any worries, and it is unknown whether he has great ambitions in his heart.

"In addition, my captain also wants to ask... What is your plan? Can you get rid of Sun Ce."

"If it can be removed, it will be beneficial to the prince in the future!"

Xu Zhen smiled and said, "Then tell me, what's the benefit?"

He Tong bowed down and raised his head with a solemn expression, "Jiangdong is in the danger of the Yangtze River, and the river can run smoothly, and the warship can travel nimbly, and Zhou Yu is well versed in this."

"Sun Jian also left behind the old army, and got the bandit leader to join him. The armor is mainly excellent, and the strategy is stable. Therefore, the longer he entrenches in Jiangdong, the more troops he hoards, and the stronger the army will naturally be."

"Whether there is no gentry in Jiangdong in the future, talented people will naturally belong to them. They will focus on their bravery and occupy Jiangdong. If the princes want to conquer Jiangdong, they must fight."

"As for Sun Ce, since he entered Jiangdong, he has a heroic spirit and must be guarded against."

It's still the same letter I wrote to Cao Cao, and the same words.

Sun Ce has great ambitions and must be suppressed.

"Then let me ask you, how do I compare with Sun Ce?"

Xu Zhen asked with a smile.

This question overwhelmed He Tong and immediately froze in place.

I wipe, send a proposition.

You still have to ask, if you ask me, I will definitely say hello.

I really need you...

You can't say that Sun Ce is great, can you?
"Junhou's literary and martial arts are all above Sun Ce's."

He Tong replied holding back.

Xu Zhen immediately smiled even wider, "Then why am I afraid of him?"

"I……"

"Your Majesty, don't take it lightly. Sun Ce has gradually won the hearts of the people in Jiangdong, and the people all support him. He has made great achievements in eliminating thieves."

"No," Xu Zhen immediately raised his hand. Now that he had thought about what to say, he said with a smile, "I have been with Sun Bofu for a while. Although it is not long, I can see through him."

"You may not believe it," Xu Zhen stood up slowly, and said in a mysterious and leisurely manner, "In addition to the ingenious thinking of martial arts and military arts, I actually have another ability. I can judge Yin and Yang, and I can judge my future achievements by looking at my face."

"I call this method, one eye to determine the truth."

We don't believe it.

The three people in the hall suddenly shook their heads bitterly, but they didn't dare to refute and smile, so they could only pretend to be stupid, and listened carefully with a funny heart.

This gentleman is too confident in himself.

There is no such person in the world.

You said it yourself, martial arts, martial arts, art of war, ingenuity, etc., which one does not require a lot of time to study and think, and then you can get strategic ideas.

Under such circumstances, can one still learn metaphysics?
A glance to break yin and yang?

There is no such reason for refusal.

If you don't dare, just say you don't dare!

At this moment, Xiu Nian suddenly realized that the letter to Cao Cao had to be put away and he dared not send it out.

It turned out that he was afraid of Sun Ce's prestige, and he was also reluctant to part with the prosperity of Jiangdong's opening up and business.

"Don't believe me? How about we make a bet?"

The corners of Xu Zhen's mouth turned up, quite confident.

The three of them looked at each other, but they still didn't believe it.

Although the expression didn't change, everyone could see it from the twitching of the face that almost didn't tense.

She pursed her lips again and turned around, nodding to Xu Zhen.

"Your Majesty, please tell me."

"Sun Ce will soon lose the hearts of the people and be rebelled by the gentry in the territory. Even the generals and scribes under his command will have suspicions."

"This is impossible."

Sun Ce is now very popular, and he celebrates with him all day long.

"He, he is about to get married, and his younger brother, Quan, has been walking with the gentry, and he is also deeply supported. How can this be?"

Xiu Nian is puzzling.

Xu Zhen folded his hands behind his back and said, "The blessing of the misfortune rests on it, and the blessing of the misfortune rests on it."

"Fortune and misfortune depend on each other," Xu Zhen's words shocked several people, and they felt emotional.

"Okay, then let's wait for the captain to make this bet with Junhou. If what Junhou said is not true, how about it?"

Xu Zhen immediately said in a deep voice: "I promise you, Lord, to protect the safety of his family."

It is nothing more than a matter of one sentence, the people I want to protect, it is estimated that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu will never attack and kill rashly now.

They will only secretly create false appearances and assassinate them.

Lie about an accident.

"Then, what if what the Lord said is correct?"

Xiu Nian asked again.

Xu Zhen chuckled, "Oh, then I want you to support Xu Gong's family property, lead the line of the nobles, and build a bridge of secret communication."

After he said this, Xiu Nian who was standing below was stunned for a while, then he came back to his senses as if he had been abducted by someone, and when he looked at Xu Zhen again, he felt that what he said might be true ?

Then he said a few words, "It should be, it should be."

If all of these are accurate, then it is the real Tongxuan, what is the difference between this and a monster, of course it should be funded by the whole family.

The ability of this prince is so great that Xiang Ji is no longer comparable, and Sun Bofu is only like Xiang Ji.

"Your Majesty, is it possible for the villain and the two guests to enjoy the same treatment as last time? After all, those delicacies, wines and wines, as well as the souvenirs you selected, are quite nostalgic..."

Xiu Nian was sweating profusely, but he still tried his best to wink at Xu Zhen.

At first, Xu Zhen really didn't understand, thinking that this person is really a good friend, and he didn't have enough mouthfuls after eating all night.

Today, I brought two people to eat together.

But when I looked at it, I understood instantly.

He must have let it go, and told Xu Gong that he ate delicious food and drank good wine at my place before going back.

That's why today Xu Gong sent so many chariots and horses to Jiujiang as a merchant.

It can also be regarded as solving some urgent needs.

Xu Zhen immediately smiled proudly: "That's natural. It's a pleasure to have friends come from afar, even though it's far away."

"Kong Ming, take them to Zixiuna and treat them well!"

Zhuge Liang tilted his head and stared at Xu Zhen. He couldn't learn such a bearing.

Master is a real dog.

……

Zhuge Liang personally took him to meet Cao Ang.

Talk about a bet.

Although Cao Ang didn't understand why Xu Zhen had such confidence, he still planned to believe him.

So these people were brought to the mansion to entertain them personally, and the fine wine in the cellar was opened.

The wine stored by Cao Ang has indeed been precious for a long time. There are no green ants as residues, and the brewing process is complicated.

It has been more than ten years now, and when it is opened, the fragrance is everywhere, which makes Lu Yan and others full of surprises.

"Okay, good wine..."

"This is really, we can't drink such good wine in the water town, it's rich and mellow..."

Zhao Jie and He Tong were almost drooling, and they kept looking at Lu Yan while speaking, with expressions of reverence.

It's not a lie, it seems that Xiu Nian was treated by distinguished guests last time, and this time it's the same as last time.

Really envious.

"Hey, look, am I right?"

Xiu Nian immediately patted his chest, put his hands in front of his chest, and toasted Cao Ang. For some reason, there were tears in the corner of his eyes, probably because he remembered what happened last time, and thought that it would be great if he walked into Xu Ying standing up.

Xu Jun and Hou Cheng do not deceive me, standing up and coming in is really a guest.

……

When Xu Zhen arrived at the post house, he was already hearing who it was when he came, and there were indeed many old friends on the Lujiang River.

It might be the old man Qiao Xuan, or it might be some young scholars from the Lu family. The little Lu Xun of the Lu family still lives in Lujiang.

If he wants to go to Jiangdong in the future, he will go to Jiangdong. If he wants to call Xu Zhen uncle, Xu Zhen will not refuse.

Their Lu family has industrial families in the two counties, and already has elders following Sun Ce.

So it could be them too.

But after listening to the description, it was an old man with a bad temper and a cold woman, who kept telling Xu Bowen to come out to settle accounts.

So Xu Bowen probably guessed who it was.

After rushing to the post house, the old man inside the door was sitting on the stone couch in the courtyard.

Next to him was a young man around fourteen serving him tea, water, melons and fruit snacks, his movements were very familiar.

Hua Tuo.

Sure enough, it was Hua Tuo.

Xu Zhen smiled at the door.

When I saw him again, I still felt like a fairy, and the wrinkles were much less, but the white beard on the chin had grown again, so I tied it up for easy care.

At this time, Hua Tuo also raised his eyes, and immediately snorted coldly when he saw Xu Zhen, "Boy Xu, it's time to settle the score."

"I was going to Xudu to meet the prime minister, but I didn't expect to be stopped by you halfway, and I somehow got you a military doctor, and then I somehow saved you for a year."

"Now Huang Xu'er is in good health, the cold poison has dissipated, but the organs of the internal organs have been damaged. In the future, he will only be able to eat fine clothes and fine food, and it is difficult to eat coarse grains. The old man can't afford it."

Xu Zhen looked at the young man beside him.

The paleness at that time was gone, and his figure was slender and straight, with strong limbs, thick eyebrows and big eyes.

A handsome young man with fair complexion, bright eyes, red lips and white teeth, it is a pity that he was born in the old Huang's family.

Huang Zhong probably didn't have much money.

Coincidentally, I don't have any money.

With rich clothes and fine food, I can only find Zixiu.

Huang Xu waited for Hua Tuo to finish speaking, and then hurriedly came to Xu Zhen, lifted the hem of his robe and knelt on his knees, bowed deeply, and kowtowed in front of Xu Zhen.

"Xu'er thanks the Lord for saving his life."

"Now that I have recovered, it's not what the master said that I need fine clothes and food, but I still want to follow the junhou, be taught by the junhou, and share the worries for the junhou."

Xu Zhen felt that his shoulders were getting heavier again, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"You, are you really well fed?"

Xu Zhen just asked such a strange question.

But Huang Xu frowned, then kowtowed and said loudly: "I don't want rich clothes and good food, I don't want a bright future, I don't want to climb the clouds! I just want to return the kindness of the king and be with my father until the end of my life!"

These impassioned words made Xu Zhen look a lot better, not because he was determined to show well, but mainly because the child still pretended to be filial piety in his heart.

And he's smart, he can actually hear what I mean when I ask about support.

Just make a living.

After all, I'm just a prince. In this way, you are only subservient to foreign ministers, and you can't be three princes and nine ministers.

The big man is so kind, filial piety comes first.
