Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Afterwards, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and a group of Jiangdong noble families discussed for nearly half an hour before they finished the discussion and quietly left through the deserted back door of Zhang Hong's mansion.

However, what Zhang Hong didn't know was that a quarter of an hour after everyone was sent away from the mansion, the back door of the mansion, which had been closed, was quietly opened a crack.

A piece of cloth was thrown out from the gap, and then a figure hiding in the dark corner outside the door looked around to see if there was anyone around, then rushed forward and took the piece of cloth away.

The figure circled around and soon arrived at the back door of the Wujun government office, then put the piece of cloth in a secret place.

A moment later, the piece of cloth was delivered to Jia Xu by Xiahou Bo himself.

Jia Xu spread out the cloth and began to read it. It was covered with tiny handwriting, which recorded the conversation between Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and a group of Jiangdong noble families.

The content is so detailed that it seems as if someone is listening and taking notes in the room.

After reading it carefully from beginning to end, Jia Xu put the cloth in his hand aside. The gentle and harmless smile on his face did not change at all, and he smiled and said.

"I usually treat people with kindness, so it is my blessing that my colleagues from the Jiangdong family look down on me."

Xiahou Bo said nothing, just listened silently.

However, although Jia Xu seemed nonchalant, he was actually quite surprised.

The practice of spies has existed since ancient times.

Jia Xu had always been aware that Liu Bei had a spy organization under his command, but what Jia Xu had not expected was that they could actually probe into the secret discussions of Zhang Zhao and others in such detail.

Immediately, Jia Xu took a sip of the fragrant tea slowly and said with some emotion.

"It seems that Zikun has long been on guard against Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and the other Jiangdong noble families, and has placed so many spies in their houses. It's a pity that they still think they are thorough, but they didn't expect that everything was done under the noses of the lord and Zikun."

However, Xiahou Bo's still silent attitude made Jia Xu slightly startled.

In addition to the apparent feeling that Zhang Zhao and the others were acting like a Maluo, these words secretly contained two layers of temptation.

This was to test Xiahou Bo's plan to plant spies in the residences of Zhang Zhao and others, and to confirm whether only the residences of Zhang Zhao and others were filled with spies, or whether everyone's residences were like a sieve.

In addition to this, there is another point, which is to use Xiahou Bo's attitude and answer to verify whether this spy organization is also controlled by Li Ji.

"Why didn't Ji Chang say anything?" Jia Xu asked.

Xiahou Bo was silent for a while before he answered.

"Mr. Zikun reminded me not to talk to Jia Changshi unless necessary, so as not to interfere with Jia Changshi's judgment."

……

Jia Xu.

At this moment, Jia Xu felt like his eyes almost went dark.

"I am so angry. What does Zikun mean by this? Are you on guard against even gentlemen?"

Jia Xu said a few words indignantly, and could only say that Li Ji was really good at judging people...

Not only did Li Ji know Jia Xu's abilities and character very well, he was also aware that Xiahou Bo would make mistakes if he talked too much, and he would be caught off guard when talking to Jia Xu.

I'm afraid that in just a few words, Jia Xu will have found out all the things that he shouldn't know.

However, seeing that Xiahou Bo didn't even respond to this sentence, Jia Xu suddenly felt frustrated.

Faced with Xiahou Bo's constant silence, Jia Xu, who could only test him with words, really felt like "a eunuch facing Pan Jinlian - helpless".

Immediately, Jia Xu also put away some of his thoughts of using Xiahou Bo's mouth to find out Li Ji's background while Li Ji was away, and said seriously.

"Ji Chang, are you sure Yuan Tan didn't go to Zhang Zigang's residence?"

"No, after leaving the government office, County Magistrate Gu went straight back home and never went out again. He also did not send any letters to the outside world." Xiahou Bo answered affirmatively.

"It's not in vain that Zikun spent some time teaching Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan has realized that the water in the pool in front of him is muddy. This can save a lot of trouble." There was a hint of relief in Jia Xu's tone.

However, Xiahou Bo did not know whether Jia Xu's relief came from Gu Yong's reaction or whether Jia Xu simply felt that it could avoid some trouble.

Unlike the vast majority of officials in Wujun who thought Jia Xu was a gentle gentleman, Xiahou Bo, who was in charge of the Jinyi Division, knew all the secrets hidden in Wujun.

Jia Xu is a man of talent and wisdom whom Mr. Zikun never dares to let go of in the slightest.

It was precisely for this reason that Xiahou Bo did not dare to say a single meaningless word to Jia Xu, for fear that many secrets that should be completely eliminated with his life would be leaked unconsciously.

Immediately, Jia Xu put down the tea set in his hand and asked.

"Ji Chang, didn't Zi Kun mention that there is something that can help me further attract the Jiangdong family? And he will hand it to me when necessary."

"Mr. Zikun did instruct Jia Changshi to do so. Does he want it now?" Xiahou Bo confirmed again.

"I want it now." Jia Xu answered again.

In Jia Xu's opinion, perhaps Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and a number of Jiangdong noble families are now blinded by power and interests, but... there is still a little difference.

Not to mention the aristocratic families of Wu County and Kuaiji County under Liu Bei's rule, the other aristocratic families of Jiangdong, or the other county governors of Yangzhou County, they were all very clear about this fact.

With the coming of troubled times, Liu Bei gradually became the dominant force in Yangzhou.

As long as there are no major accidents during Liu Bei's campaign against Dong Zhuo, then when Liu Bei returns to Wujun, he will inevitably begin to take steps to dominate Jiangdong.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and a number of Jiangdong families are so eager to take action, knowing that this is undoubtedly the last and best opportunity for them.

If nothing can be done now, then Liu Bei will unify Jiangdong.

With the support of Ren De Academy, officials from aristocratic families such as Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong could only be clerks under Li Ji, and the other aristocratic families in Jiangdong would never have the opportunity to eat at the table.

"But it's still not crazy enough, it's still not enough..."

Jia Xu maintained a smile with a gleam of light in his eyes as he calculated secretly.

The ones who are really anxious right now are only the Jiangdong noble families who have already bet a lot on Liu Bei, but among the many Jiangdong noble families outside Wujun and Kuaiji counties, undoubtedly a considerable number of them are maintaining a wait-and-see attitude.

As for aristocratic families, they are never ones who would easily place all their bets on something.

For Wu County, which was short of military forces, this bait was enough to arouse a lot of greed, but it was not enough to attract all the Jiangdong families to join in.

Therefore, Jia Xu was quite curious about what Li Ji had prepared for him, thinking that he could lure all the Jiangdong noble families into fishing gear and make them all take the bait.

After getting Jia Xu's affirmation, Xiahou Bo took a few steps back, kept a few steps away from Jia Xu, and then closed the door.

Then, as Jia Xu's expression gradually became stiff, Xiahou Bo lifted his belt with both hands and quickly took off his official robe and other clothes.

"and many more……"

Just as Jia Xu was watching Xiahou Bo's muscular chest muscles gradually revealing and instinctively wanted to speak out to stop Xiahou Bo, he saw Xiahou Bo take out a palm-sized paper object from his underwear.

"Ok?"

Looking at Xiahou Bo's somewhat puzzled eyes, Jia Xu felt that he had completely lost face today.

Jia Xu's expression twitched slightly. He lowered his head and drank tea while saying.

"It's okay. I mean it's cold at night. Ji Chang, put your clothes back on quickly."

Xiahou Bo still did not say a word in response to this non-official topic. Instead, he quickly put on his clothes again and placed the paper item that he had kept close to him in front of Jia Xu.

Jia Xu, who had been drinking tea to relieve his embarrassment, originally thought that Li Ji had written some clever plan on the paper, but after taking another look, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and quickly put down the tea set and held the paper in his hands.
