Soldiers come to the world

During dinner, Liu Min approached Li Fu and said apologetically, "I lost my composure this afternoon, so I apologize to Second Uncle Li!"

"You are serious about what you do."

Li Fu glanced at him and said with a smile: "You just don't know how to relax yourself. If you are very nervous about doing things, you may not be able to do things well. Listen to me, of course you have to have ambitions, but you must also have good wine for women. Because he is the true character of a man."

Liu Min lowered his head for a while and said, "But I don't like prostitutes... I'd rather marry a wife and a concubine."

Li Fu patted him on the shoulder, smiled and said: "This is your true nature! I have been traveling all over the world since I was a child, and I have experienced too much, so I don't care about restrictions. Except for not betraying the lord, I can do whatever I want How to do it."

"Then how do we take Jia Xu's family away?"

"It's very simple. Just say that Jia Xu is dying of illness in Nanyang and wants to see his family for the last time. I guarantee that even his dog will go with us."

"This...isn't that good!" Liu Min muttered,

"What's wrong!"

Li Fu rubbed his chin and said with a smile: "My face looks treacherous at first glance. It's better for you, a white-faced scholar, to tell them. They will definitely believe it."

Liu Min was embarrassed, and bowed his head in silence. At this time, the shopkeeper Zhimayan walked in quickly, whispered something to Li Fu, Li Fu nodded and smiled, "Thank you very much!"

When Zhi Mayan was about to go out, Li Fu shouted again: "Don't forget, there is another woman."

"Don't worry! I won't forget it."

Only then did Li Fu smile to Liu Min: "We have found Jia Xu's house, but his wife took the grandson back to her mother's house, and she won't be back until evening, so she probably packed up her things and the city gate is closed, so I might as well take them out tomorrow morning. "

Liu Min couldn't help being surprised and delighted, was it resolved so quickly?He was still worrying about how to find Jia Xu's house!But Liu Min remembered something again, and asked in a low voice: "Is this shopkeeper reliable? Will he betray us?"

Li Fu chuckled, "Do you know Guo Tu, Duke Yuan's counselor? This innkeeper is Guo Tu's younger brother, Guo Song, who is also a talented person. He didn't want to be an official of Cao Cao, so he opened an inn to make a living. He has a relationship with me. Friendship with death."

Only then did Liu Min realize that he was Guo Tu's younger brother, but he didn't agree with this deadly friendship, and muttered in a low voice: "You have to pay for the woman yourself, so what kind of deadly friendship are you talking about?"

Li Fu was startled, and then laughed loudly, "Do you know why he is called Zhimayan? He is easy to talk about other things, but when it comes to money, his heart is as small as Zhimayan, so we all call him Zhimayan." Eye, don’t think that I asked him to do things for free, he’s more black-hearted than anyone else, he blackmailed me for 30 taels of gold, and if he lost a penny, he’d turn against me, and this meal, At least five taels of gold, ten times more expensive than outside."

Liu Min thought of seeing Sesame Eyes for the first time in the afternoon, laughing and dancing while hugging Li Fu, she was so excited that she shed tears, which made people feel warm and moved, and it turned out that it was because the God of Wealth came to the door.

After a while, Liu Min smiled wryly and said, "I have opened my eyes today."

At this moment, Zhimayan hurried in and said nervously, "I don't know why, but the city gate was suddenly closed. It should be closed at Haishi."

Liu Min also became a little nervous, "Could it be that Cao Jun knew we were coming?"

Li Fu shook his head, "Impossible, it should have nothing to do with us, if I guessed correctly, it should have something to do with the enemy's situation."

At this moment, another clerk ran over and said to the shopkeeper: "There is a message from the county government that the army will search the entire city tonight for the spies of Gongsun Kang in Liaodong, and all suspicious outsiders will be arrested."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Li Fu and Liu Min worriedly, nodded with sesame eyes, "I see, let's go!"

He explained to Li Fu and Liu Min: "I have a brother who works in the county government office and is very well informed. Since he came to report the news, then this matter is more serious."

Li Fu said decisively: "We will live directly in Jia's mansion tonight."

Li Fu entrusted the goods and mules to Zhimayan, Zhimayan had a frowning face, saying that the goods could not be sold at a good price, and he could only do his best, and if he lost money, don't blame him.

He also wanted to count the money for the mule's food, but Li Fu didn't bother to talk to him anymore, and with a dozen of his men, he got on his horse and headed directly to Jia Xu's mansion according to the address written by Zhimayan.

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Like Xuchang, Yecheng is also divided into an inner city and an outer city. The inner city is where the imperial palace, the prime minister’s mansion, and the imperial government are concentrated. The mansions of some important ministers are also located in the inner city. Soldiers are on duty in the inner city no matter morning or evening. , the defense is very tight.

In the northwest corner of the inner city, there is a mansion covering an area of ​​about [-] mu. This is the mansion of Cao Pi, the eldest son of Cao Cao. At this time, Cao Pi is not the eldest son, but he is very valued by Cao Cao. Yecheng.

Cao Pi is 21 years old this year. He is of medium build but very strong. He has practiced martial arts since elementary school.

But Cao Pi does not look like his father Cao Cao, but more like his mother, with a pointed jaw and a small nose. Because of this, Cao Cao loved Cao Zhi even more.

Even so, Cao Pi, as the eldest son, still has his irreplaceable position. This time Cao Cao conquered Wuhuan, and handed over the power of staying behind to him.

In the study, Cao Pi was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, and his eyes were full of anger. Just an hour ago, he received an urgent report from his servant Xin Pi that the spies of Gongsun Kang of Liaodong had sneaked into Yecheng. Cao Pi immediately ordered General Xia Houshang to lead the army Search the whole city.

But Cao Pi's anger was not because of Liaodong spies, but because he received a secret letter from Cao Hong in Nanyang in the afternoon, saying that Jia Xu was suspected of being secretly in touch with Jiang Xia, causing Cao Jun to be defeated and causing heavy casualties. In Yecheng, let Cao Pi secretly investigate Jia Xu's words and deeds.

Although Cao Hong spoke in a more cryptic manner and did not explicitly say that Jia Xu had betrayed Cao, he had already pointed out that he was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, which was enough to arouse Cao Pi's monstrous anger.

Cao Pi was loved by his aunt Mrs. Ding and elder brother Cao Ang since he was a child. In the second year of Jian'an, Cao Ang was killed in the Battle of Wancheng. His aunt Mrs. Ding was heartbroken and left her father.

This incident was an indelible pain in Cao Pi's life. Although his father forgave Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu with a great heart, the hatred of losing his brother and mother was engraved in Cao Pi's heart, so he never forgot.

A letter from Cao Hong today ignited the flames of his hatred again.

At this time, the door of the study opened, and Cao Pi's wife, Zhen Shi, came in with a bowl of ginseng tea. Zhen Shi was originally Yuan Xi's wife. Son, named Cao Rui.

Mrs. Zhen is beautiful and beautiful. Although she has been married to Cao Pi for three years, she is still loved by Cao Pi. When she heard that her husband was very angry today, he drew his sword and chopped off a corner of the table. She couldn't help but feel worried, so she made an excuse Send ginseng soup to visit him.

Zhen Shi put the ginseng soup on the table, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Husband doesn't seem very happy today?"

Normally, Cao Pi would definitely put his arms around Zhen Shi and have a laughing chat with her, but today is unusual, his childhood hatred has been aroused, not to mention his wife, even if his mother comes, it is difficult to persuade him.

He didn't make a sound, and said in a muffled voice after a while: "If you have nothing else to do, go back to your room first!"

Zhen's heart was even more surprised, she was just about to persuade, at this time, the guard reported at the door: "General Yang Wu Zhang has arrived, and is waiting in the outer hall!"

Cao Pi snorted coldly, "He still has the face!"

Cao Pi ignored his wife and walked outside, Zhen Shi was even more surprised, she followed out, Cao Pi had already gone far.

At this moment, Mrs. Zhen saw her husband's little book boy, Feng'er, and beckoned him up, asking, "What happened to make the general so angry?"

Feng'er didn't dare to hide it, and said in a low voice: "It seems that General Nanyang Zilian wrote a letter, saying that Jia Wenhe secretly communicated with the enemy army, so you are very angry."

Mrs. Zhen heard her husband talk about Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu and the Cao family's grievances, and she also knew that Cao Hong's business and personal affairs were unknown, which made her very worried. Mrs. Zhen hesitated for a moment, but still walked quickly to the outer living room.

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

The outer hall is not a living room for receiving guests, nor is it the main hall for holding important ceremonies, but just an auxiliary hall, where the servants of the government are usually disposed of, or some good and lowly people are received.

Therefore, Cao Pi ordered people to bring Zhang Xiu here to wait, which in itself was a great insult. Zhang Xiu was about 50 years old, and he was eight feet three in height. Tong Yuan, a famous spearman, has won the true biography of Bainiao Chaofeng Spear, and is known as the Northern Land Spear King. In terms of seniority, he is also Zhao Yun's junior nephew.

It has been eight years since Jian'an surrendered to Cao Cao in the fourth year. At first, he was also highly valued. He made great achievements in the Battle of Guandu, and was named General Yangwu, and he was rewarded generously.

But since Yecheng was conquered the year before last and the overall situation in Hebei was settled, Zhang Xiu has gradually been left out in the cold. General Yangwu is just an official name and has no real power, so Zhang Xiu is almost at home. This time Cao Cao expedition to Wuhuan, Obviously Zhang Xiu is quite famous in the north, but Cao Cao didn't take him with him either.

Zhang Xiu knew that his use value was gone, and he would spend his whole life with nothing to do. His ambition was dead, and he planned to accept the reality. However, the Cao family did not forget the hatred of the past. No matter the Cao brothers, Xiahouyuan, Xiahoudun, etc., they all hated him. He is extremely hostile.

However, although these generals hated him, they did not dare to bully him too much because of Cao Cao's face, but the juniors of the Cao family did not have any scruples, especially Cao Pi. When they met at the city gate at the beginning of the year, Cao Pi publicly insulted him, which made Zhang Xiu feel even more chilling. Yes, Cao Cao turned a deaf ear to this matter, which invisibly boosted the arrogance of Cao Pi and others.

For example, now, when Cao Pi wanted to see him, he didn't dare not to come, but he actually brought him to wait in the outer hall where the servants were received, what an insult to him!

You must know that Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao are actually in-laws. His daughter married Cao Cao's son Cao Jun. Cao Jun later adopted Cao Cao's younger brother Cao Bin, who is the father of Cao Anmin. This grievance.

In the outer hall, Cao Pi was sitting on the couch with his sword pressed. He felt the coercion of Zhang Xiu's burly figure, which made him feel even more disgusted. He looked at Zhang Xiu coldly.

Zhang Xiu's face was swollen into a pig's liver, resisting the huge sense of humiliation in his heart, he knelt down and saluted Cao Pi, "Minister Zhang Xiu, pay homage to the young master!"
