Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 231 Jian Huqi Corrects and Confesses Zang Ba Qingzhou Shepherd
"My lord, if Zang Ba succeeds, wouldn't we have another enemy?" Yang Wu asked.

Xu Shu, Cao Bao, Xu Chu and others nodded, indicating that they were asking the same question as Yang Wu.

Feng Yaodao: "There is no need to worry about this at all. I guess Zang Ba only has the heart of a prince, not the heart of an emperor!! Besides, even if Zang Ba intends to fight for the world, the best way out is to go north to attack Yuan Shao. Only by occupying the land of Hebei can we have the foundation !"

"My lord's plan is great! No matter what Zang Ba plans, it will not pose a threat to the Central Plains for the time being! With this barrier, and Marquis Wen guarding the key points of Yanzhou! Our army can attack Jingzhou with all our strength!" Xu Shuxi said.

"I also think this plan seems absurd, but it's really great! It's just that under the guise of the court, will it be seen through, and it will be regarded as a serious crime of conspiracy and rebellion?" Cao Bao looked worried.

"That's right! Eunuch Cao is right!" Yang Wu said.

The generals started to discuss, and Xu Shu said, "My lord, I think this plan is feasible. First, we are fighting in the name of Da Sima, not in the name of the emperor. It is not treason! Carrying it out secretly, sending confidantes to pretend to be under the command of Da Sima! Even if it is found out in the future, there will be no direct evidence!"

Feng Yao nodded and said: "What Yuan Zhi said is exactly what I want! This matter is settled like this!"

Then Feng Yao raised his left hand, signaling the generals to be quiet.

"There is no need to argue about this matter anymore, I have made up my mind!"

"Meng Jian! You have dealt with Li Jue many times, so you should be familiar with his tone. You should immediately draft an appointment document!" Feng Yao said.

Meng Jianli responded immediately!After finding a pen and paper, he finished writing in a short while. Feng Yao took a look and was very satisfied and praised. Then he ordered Liu Shun to find someone to engrave it, and fetch the official document of Li Jue that he had received before. , imitating its seal to make a fake Da Sima seal and a Qingzhou state pastoral seal.

Liu Shun resigned immediately, and went to find the person who engraved it according to Feng Yao's order.

Feng Yao breathed a sigh of relief, this major matter has been resolved, but there is another matter, which is about the 230 three war horses.

"Zhongkang, our army has added more than 200 new horses. I want to select a group of loyal and brave men from the Tiger Guards and form a light cavalry. Do you think it is feasible?"

Xu Chu said happily after hearing the words: "This is great, my lord! The Tiger Guards have always been unable to exert their maximum combat power due to lack of horses. This time with horses, the strength of the Tiger Guards will be improved to a higher level!"

"Okay, since you agree, then I will give you all the 230 horses to form a tiger guard cavalry!!" Feng Yao nodded.

"Obey! My lord!"

The next day, Liu Shun brought the two engraved seals to Feng Yao.

"My lord, this is the seal you want! Please take a look!"

Feng Yao took the seal and looked at it. The seal was very well done. One was a silver seal with the five characters "Qingzhou Zhou Mu Yin" engraved on it, and the other was a gold seal with the four words "Da Sima Seal" engraved on it. I took the ink pads and tried each of them. The printed prints are almost identical to the real ones. If the two are not put together at the same time, it is difficult to see the flaws.

"Okay! Liu Shun, you have made a great contribution to this matter!! With this seal, Zang Ba will definitely attack Qingzhou!" Feng Yaoxi said.

As he said that, Feng Yao took the appointment document, stamped it with the "Great Sima Seal", held the seal in his hand, glanced at it, and sighed: "You should melt this golden seal secretly, don't let outsiders If you see it, the gold you get will be your reward!"

"Yes, my lord!" Liu Shun said.

Feng Yao nodded, took the silver seal and the sealed appointment document, and handed them to Liu Shun.
"Liu Shun, you secretly choose a reliable dead man, and order him to deliver this seal to Langya Zangba overnight. Remember, this matter is of great importance, and you must strictly keep it a secret!" Feng Yao's face was serious, and he repeatedly urged.

After Liu Shun received the seal letter, his hands trembled slightly, and he knelt down and said loudly: "My lord, I will definitely supervise this matter personally. If there are any mistakes or omissions, I will die to keep the secret!"

"What about the person who engraved the seal?" Feng Yao asked a little worried.

Liu Shun immediately shed tears and said: "My lord, the person who carved the seal knew very well that this matter is of great importance. After the engraving, he entrusted all the family members to the young one, and then he drew his sword and killed himself!"

Feng Yao shook his head and sighed: "Actually, that's not necessary. Bring him into the army, and he can be used by us in the future! It's a pity! I must find a way to make up for his family! You can live with his family Where can you tell me!"

……

In Xiapi City, in an alley paved with bluestone, there are low houses on both sides.

This is the place Liu Shun mentioned, Feng Yao never expected to be in such a dilapidated place.

At this time, Feng Yao was disguised as a merchant, accompanied only by Xu Chu, who pretended to be a fat servant. The two seemed to be strolling around, but they were actually looking for Xu Qing's family. According to what Liu Shun said The address should be this alley.

"My lord, you can leave this kind of matter to your subordinates. Why do you have to come here in person?" Xu Chu asked a little puzzled.

"Zhongkang, keep your voice down, you will call me master in a while!" Feng Yao said softly.

"Yes, master!" Xu Chu said.

"Tomorrow we have to lead the army. This is the last afternoon. To be able to see his family before that can be regarded as a reward for him!" Feng Yao said.

At this time, a middle-aged civilian man came from the opposite side with half a bag of beans on his back, and Feng Yao quickly signaled to Xu Chu.

Xu Chu understood, walked forward with a smile, and said, "Brother, are you a local?"

The civilian middle-aged man nodded.

"Then do you know a craftsman named Xu Mingqing who can carve seals? My master wants to carve a private seal. I heard that he lives here." Xu Chu asked.

There was a strange look in the eyes of the ordinary man, and he looked Feng Yao and Xu Chu up and down, "You must have come here to do business from other places, right? Well, go a hundred steps forward, and the crying house is his house." , but you are late, I heard that Xu Qing suddenly fell ill and died last night, alas!" The civilian man shook his head, sighed, and continued on his way.

"Hey, wait a minute." Xu Chu shouted.

"Is there anything else? I'm rushing to deliver beans to the old Wang's family!" said the common man, struggling to straighten the bag on his back.

"It's okay, I just saw that your bag is crooked, so help you lift it up, and..., here, you accept these, this is your reward from my master!" Xu Chu lifted up the bag on the civilian man's back. After slamming it down, he took out another handful of copper coins, but he didn't count them, there were probably dozens of them, and they stuffed them directly into the arms of the common man.

"This..., this is so embarrassing, hehe, thank you! Thank you!..." The civilian man's eyes almost popped out with joy, he thanked him repeatedly, walked a few steps, turned around, and smiled from time to time.

Feng Yao led Xu Chu forward for about a hundred steps, and sure enough, from a door next to him, a woman's intermittent mournful sobs could be heard.

"It must be here!" Xu Chu quickly stepped forward.

Pat pat, lifted the brass ring on the door, and tapped on the door three times.

After a while, the small door opened with a creak, and a young man about fourteen years old, with a filial piety on his head, poked his head out, with a trace of sadness on his face, and his eyes were dull.

"Are the two guests here to express their condolences?"
