Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 120: God’s Calculation and Man’s Calculation (1)

Seeing Zhou Cang stop suddenly, Zhang Ji frowned: "Wei Guo continued."

It's dangerous, but fortunately he didn't directly say the return to the capital Luoyang, then he might be doomed. "Li Jue and Guo Si's thoughts are not in the imperial court now. If they continue to fight like this, it will definitely hurt you; besides, the princes of the Kanto have been eyeing it all the time. If they know that there is chaos in Guanzhong, they will definitely form an alliance and march into Guanzhong. At that time What should you do? Why don't you leave them now and protect Shengjia, which not only has the merit of following the dragon, but also preserves your power." Zhou Cang said, "The merit of protecting the driver can't be erased anywhere."

Zhang Ji's heart skipped a beat when he said those words, and after a while he shook his head again. "Li Jue and Guo Si would not agree. Yang Feng and Yang Ding planned to coerce the emperor, but Li Jue found out about their poor plan, and ended up fleeing the mountains."

Zhou Cang said: "The general is very worried, so this matter should not be rushed, and we can't act rashly. We will make plans when we find an opportunity." Killing Zhou Cang would not reveal the conspiracy with the emperor, let alone tell The destination is Luoyang.

"Yeah," Zhang Ji nodded, "Let me think about it, what you said is not unreasonable. You go back and don't say anything about it."

After meeting Zhang Ji, Zhou Cang continued to hibernate. Every day, besides drinking and banqueting among the generals, he went to the school to practice kung fu, and occasionally went to the palace to greet Liu Xie and learn about various progresses. Li Jue and others did not treat him well. Not the slightest doubt.Jia Xu disappeared as if he had evaporated from the world, and Zhou Cang dared not intervene.

Zhang Xiu regards Zhou Cang as a confidant, and often asks about Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun, forcing Zhou Cang to be full of nonsense, saying that Xichuan Luyuan has never been to Xichuan Luyuan, and he visited Zhao Yun when he was in Youzhou but did not see him. and so on.

Zhou Cang has been asking Xu Huang and Chen Dao to continue to raise food and grass, and has Zhou Gui and Zhou Chong secretly set up several hidden places to store grain on the way to Luoyang, in case of emergencies. The food is limited, Zhou Cang has no plan Take it out and share it with everyone.He also ordered Xu Huang and Chen Dao to do a good job in soldier drill and be ready to evacuate at any time.Almost every day, Zhou Cang would go through his plan again to see if there were any negligence and omissions. He always felt that he had missed something. He was [-]% sure of leaving Chang'an, and the rest was up to God.

After another half a month, Zhou Cang entered the palace to greet him. Liu Xie excitedly said to Zhou Cang, "It's done. Zhang Ji suggested that I go to Hongnong. At first Li Jue refused, and Guo Si was still hesitant. Persuasion, Li Jue and Guo Si have agreed."

"Then did they ever say that they would send soldiers to accompany them? They would arrange food and grass along the way?" Zhou Cang asked. He didn't know why Zhang Ji launched the attack suddenly. Could it be that he had a plan, or did something happen?
"That's not true, Zhang Ji didn't say anything." The little emperor didn't think there was anything wrong at all, as long as he could leave Chang'an, it didn't matter.

"I don't know where Jia Xu is, but I want to see him." Since it's playing the piano to Niu, let's find someone who understands, Zhou Cang asked.Now Zhou Cang can justifiably ask to see Jia Xu. Firstly, he wants to chat with Jia Xu about the plans and arrangements on the road, so as to avoid any mistakes; secondly, to see if he can take the opportunity to win Jia Xu under his command.

"Jia Xu said that his fellow countryman, General Duan Yan, is currently stationed in Huayin, and Huayin is the only way to go, so he asked for orders to ask Duan Yan to meet him on the road. I have already agreed, and I have left Chang'an a few days ago. See you in Huayin. .”

Zhou Cang cursed inwardly: This old fox has a sharper nose than a dog. He ran away when he smelled bad. It seems that he missed him again.A capable person can always find a way to protect himself.But besides seeing that the real purpose of Jia Xu was to move eastward to Luoyang, what else did Jia Xu find wrong to run so fast?

Zhou Cang didn't guess what Jia Xu was thinking, so he could only ask again: "I don't know who the guards are. Has Your Majesty selected them? Who will accompany them? When will we set off?"

"I have already thought about it. This time, all the officials will return to Luoyang with me, but I only said to go to Hongnong. Only I, you, Dong Cheng and Shi Huan know about the return to Luoyang. Dong Guiren's father, General Dong Cheng, is right I have always been sincere, and the guard commander Shi Huan has been with me for many years. With these two guards at my side. Together with Zhang Ji and your soldiers, it is enough to protect the officials and their families. No matter how much Jia Xu can persuade Duan Yan , then there is nothing to worry about. I have already told Dong Cheng that you should go back and prepare without delay, and leave in five days." Liu Xie said, "I will tell the officials when I arrive at Hongnongzhen. At that time, Zhang Even if Ji repents, there is nothing he can do."

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, nights are long and dreams are many. It is hundreds of miles away to Luoyang, and all actions must be done quickly. I am afraid that I will wrong Your Majesty and the ministers. It is better to be light and simple." Zhou Cang reminded, and Liu Xie nodded in agreement. .

Zhou Cang still wants to poach Shi Huan, Shi Huan is also a talent, but now he is the commander of the bodyguards, the emperor's personal bodyguard, his official position is too low, it is difficult to persuade him, otherwise it will be bad.I don't know what kind of character the swordsman Shi A is, how it is different from martial arts novels, and what is the difference between a swordsman and a general.

After returning to the camp, Zhou Cang sent three edicts to Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Lu Bu respectively, and also sent people to Luoyang to contact Zhou Fu. It would take at least two months or as many as three months to arrive in Luoyang and ask Zhou Fu Prepare to respond, and gather boats and boatmen by the Yellow River to cross the river. When they are idle, ask soldiers to practice water skills and prepare for the establishment of a navy in the future.Then prepare enough food and grass, and carry enough food and grass to guarantee half a month with the army.

Zhou Cang suddenly thought of a serious problem: how can he escape?
Obviously, he was not included in Zhang Ji's plan, and what the emperor Liu Xie said would not work at all. If he wanted to act, he had to get Li Jue's consent.Did Zhang Ji keep himself in order to hold the two of them back, or did he treat himself as an abandoned son?There are always negligence and omissions.There is still time to remedy it now, Zhou Cang's brain is running fast to think about the strategy of retreating.

Li Jue believes in witchcraft, hehe, he believes in witchcraft.Zhou Cang called Zhou Chong to his side and asked him to buy the sorcerer again with a lot of money. He only needed to send a sentence to Li Jue before tomorrow: Zhou Quan has Zhou.

Zhou Chong was extremely reluctant, and gave away the money he got at the expense of his life, just for four words.But Zhou Chong was even more shocked by the power of money, and had a deeper understanding of tactics and changes.

When Zhou Cang went to see Li Jue, he was confused by Zhou Quan's word "Thursday". When he heard Zhou Cang coming, he was stunned: Zhou?Could it be Zhou Cang?
"It's rare for Wei Guo to take the initiative to come to the door." Li Jue joked.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the intention, Zhou Cang seems to have been hit in the head, how can he make mistakes continuously, and why he rushed to find Li Jue in such a hurry, isn't it the biggest flaw!
