The Nameless of the Common Clans

Xinfeng, Zhang Ji looked at the letter in his hand and looked at the young man in front of him with an ugly expression: "You..."

"I'm Tang Yuan." Tang Yuan smiled and nodded.

Tang Yuan? Never heard of it.

Zhang Ji nodded and read the letter again: "The things mentioned in this letter..."

"It was an old friend of our lord in Chang'an who accidentally learned about it." Tang Yuan said with a smile: "General, you should know that my lord also has many old friends in Chang'an, but he is not in the imperial court's important position. I happened to see Li Shi entangled with his wife that day."

Zhang Ji looked a little ugly. Li Shi was Li Jue's son. Li Jue was usually quite doting on him and was lawless. Especially after Dong Zhuo's death and the Xiliang army captured Chang'an, he became even more unscrupulous. However, Zhang Ji did not expect that Li Shi would dare to Bully yourself.

After a while, Zhang Ji suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Tang Yuando and said, "Why did Marquis Changling tell me about this?"

"My lord has always admired the general's prowess, and he is quite disgusted with the matter of promiscuous women. In fact, someone has suggested that we should facilitate this matter and then let the general know about it, or we can directly call the general and Li Jue It's just that... my lord is unwilling to do this. Although it is very likely that the general will turn against Li Jue, the general's family will be separated. Although the lord is confronting the general now, this is a business matter and the family members should not be implicated. Come in." Tang Yuan said with a smile.

"I admire the righteousness of the Marquis of Changling!" Zhang Ji sighed with emotion and looked at Tang Yuandao: "But the Marquis of Changling asked you to come here, I'm afraid it's not just for this matter, right?"

"If the general is willing to endure this tone, Tang Yuan is here just for this matter." Tang Yuan said with a smile.

If you can endure this tone, then there is no need to say anything more about the next thing. After all, women are nothing in these days. For the sake of harmony and stability within the Xiliang Army, Zhang Ji must endure this tone. , Chen Mo can completely understand.

Zhang Ji was silent, can you bear it? I felt unhappy and couldn't bear it. In fact, just like what Tang Yuan said, Li Shi just teased her a little and it didn't lead to any negative consequences. Now he was flipping the table with Li Jue and others, which seemed to be making a fuss. After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Ji looked at Tang Yuandao: "Sir, you have been running all the way. Why don't you go and rest for a while? This matter is of great importance. Please allow me to discuss it with others."

Tang Yuan nodded and did not bother. He stood up and bowed. Zhang Ji arranged for someone to send Tang Yuan to rest. It was not until Tang Yuan left that Zhang Ji called his bodyguard and said, "Go and invite Mr. Jinrong and Wenhe."

"Here!"

Soon, a young man and a fat scribe came in and saluted Zhang Ji.

"Sir, please come quickly." Zhang Ji smiled quickly when he saw the fat scribe. This scribe was Jia Xu. When Dong Zhuo died, the Xiliang generals wanted to be pardoned but Wang Yun refused. Jia Xu was also among the people to be killed at that time. , in order to protect himself, Jia Xu first joined forces with his fellow countrymen Duan Xuan and Zhang Ji to persuade Li Jue and Guo Si to send troops to counterattack Chang'an.

Later, Jia Xu attached himself to Duan Xu, but although Duan Xu treated Jia Xu well, he was quite defensive. It happened that Zhang Ji was short of counselors, so he invited Jia Xu over.

The two were from the same hometown, and Zhang Ji was not a person who liked calculations very much, so he got along well with Jia Xu. Even after losing Hongnong, Jia Xu never left. He just wanted Zhang Ji to get a place as soon as possible. Find a home and leave dangerous places like Chang'an.

"Uncle, what's the matter?" Zhang Xiu sat down and looked at Zhang Jidao curiously.

Zhang Ji didn't say anything and handed the letter to the two of them to read.

"This Li Shi is getting more and more arrogant. He dares to tease aunt!?" After reading this, Zhang Xiu looked a little ugly. He slapped the table and said, "Uncle, let me go back and kill that Li Shi!"

"Mr. I made you laugh." Zhang Ji looked at Jia Xu and apologized.

"What are you going to do, general?" Jia Xu asked with a smile.

Zhang Ji was speechless for a moment. Raising troops? It was a bit over the top, after all, nothing really happened, but if he pretended that nothing happened, he couldn't swallow the politeness.

Jia Xu took the bamboo slip from Zhang Xiu and looked at it carefully.

Zhang Xiu on the side asked curiously: "Sir, what's so good about this letter?"

"I'm reading this word." Jia Xu smiled.

"What's so strange about this word? Is there any mystery behind it?" Zhang Xiu asked puzzledly. The content above is clear at a glance. Is there anything worth studying?

"If I read it correctly, this word should have been written by Marquis Changling." Jia Xu held the bamboo slip in his hand and looked at Zhang Jidao with a smile.

"Then..." Zhang Xiu suddenly realized that this thing was a letter, written by Marquis Changling. Wasn't it written by Chen Mo to his uncle? He looked straight at Zhang Ji, swallowed and said, "Uncle?"

Zhang Ji nodded silently, looked at Jia Xu and said with a wry smile: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you sir."

"This..." Zhang Xiu frowned. They came to Xinfeng this time to fight Chen Mo. Does this count as collaboration with the enemy? But thinking about what was in the letter, Zhang Xiu felt a little sick.

"The Marquis of Changling is an unparalleled talent. His calligraphy and painting skills are extremely high. He was highly praised by Duke Lu and Duke Bozhe. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to imitate him." Jia Xu said with a smile: "It is not difficult to recognize him."

Chen Mo's calligraphy and paintings are valuable for collection. It is true that the world is in chaos now. If it were a prosperous age, with Chen Mo's current age and his accomplishments in calligraphy and painting, these two alone would be enough for Chen Mo to live a prosperous life.

Zhang Ji nodded silently, thought for a while and said: "I don't know what to do now, so I came to ask sir for advice."

Jia Xu nodded and said: "If we investigate, the matter is actually not serious. It seems that the general is stingy. But if we don't investigate, it will be hard to swallow."

Zhang Ji nodded and said, "Sir, you have a keen eye. I wonder what you think?"

"I'm sorry for the disrespect, but that's not the key to this matter!" Jia Xu said with a smile. Whether Zou was teased or not is not the key at all. Although it is inappropriate to say this, Jia Xu believed that Zhang Ji could understand.

"If this is not the case, then what is the key?" Zhang Xiu, although he was already over twenty, was in the heat of passion and said with some dissatisfaction when he heard this.

"Sir, please clarify!" Zhang Ji hesitated for a moment, then bowed to Jia Xu.

"I dare to ask, General, have you ever thought about clearing the world and establishing unparalleled achievements?" Jia Xu looked at Zhang Ji with a smile and asked gently.

Zhang Ji shook his head when he heard this. He had passed the age of youth and passion. His family knew his own affairs, so he might not know this material. Then he asked doubtfully: "Why do you ask this, sir?"

"If the general has such ambitions, then the Marquis of Changling is a formidable enemy. The general can use Li Guo's help to fight against him. The general can fake a defeat and retreat to Longxi to watch the fierce battle between Li Guo and the Marquis of Changling. , to make profits from it, although Li Guo and Li Guo have brave strategies, in terms of skill, they are by no means the opponents of Changlinghou. Just look at the situation in Guanzhong now under the rule of Changlinghou. The general should have understood it, so watching the fierce battle between the two sides, The general takes the opportunity to accumulate strength in Longxi, and when the time is right, he can take advantage of the opportunity to seize Chang'an and secure Dingguanzhong." Jia Xu said with a smile.

"I'm afraid I'm not up to the task." Zhang Ji shook his head, wondering if he didn't have Chen Mo's skills.

"If you don't have this intention, the general should choose a Ming master as soon as possible to surrender." Jia Xu said with a smile.

"Marquis Changling?" Zhang Ji looked at Jia Xu and asked.

Jia Xu nodded and said: "Xu Guan, the Marquis of Changling is acting now. I am afraid that he intends to invade Guanzhong and serve the emperor to defeat his enemies. Since Changling Marquis entered Hedong, he has conquered Baibo, settled Taiyuan, revived Yunzhong, and managed the river." Luo, regardless of his ability, skill, and military strategy, few people can match his current situation. If he can seize Guanzhong now, he will be able to establish the foundation of his hegemony. At this time, when his hidden dragon emerges from the abyss and the trapped dragon ascends to the sky, if Now that the general is willing to help, why worry about the family being unhappy?"

"Sir, are you so optimistic about him?" Zhang Xiu on the side said unconvinced. If he voted for Chen Mo, wouldn't he have to call someone younger than himself his lord?

"If we win Guanzhong, we can expect hegemony!" Jia Xu nodded.

"What if you can't get it?" Zhang Xiu asked.

"If the general can capture Guanzhong and block Chen Mo, then Chen Mo will be sandwiched between the general, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao. The four battles will not last long!" Jia Xu looked at Zhang Ji and said with a smile, "General, there is no need to take the initiative to fight with him. The enemy only needs to defend Guanzhong, and he will be trapped to death in less than ten years. Of course, during this period, the general needs to get rid of Li Jue, Guo Si, Duan Xuan, Fan Chou, Li Meng and even Ma Teng and Han Sui. Otherwise, he will be killed! Chen Mo's ability will definitely start with these people, just like sending letters today, to sow discord between the generals in Xiliang and make them fight with each other, so as to profit from it. "

Just listening to it made me a little confused. Not to mention that Li Jue and Guo Si were far more powerful than me, but Duan Xuan, Li Meng, and Fan Chou were no worse or even higher than me.

After a long time, Zhang Jifang smiled bitterly and said: "Sir said so, but in fact he only gave me the next path!"

There are many obstacles just to solve Guanzhong, and you have to face Chen Mo, let alone clearing the world. From the beginning, Jia Xu's suggestion was to let him defect to Chen Mo.

"Of course, if the general is unwilling to choose either, he can lead his troops and his family to leave Guanzhong and find a place to stand and watch the changes in the world." Jia Xu gave a compromise.

"I wonder where you think you can stand?" Zhang Ji asked quickly.

"From here on out to the southeast is Nanyang. If the general can capture Nanyang, he can ally with Liu Biao to observe the changes in the world. He can also go south to attack Jingzhou. If he is not willing, he can defend himself based on the terrain of Nanyang and observe the changes in the world. Change." Jia Xu pondered.

Zhang Ji pondered and paced back and forth. He looked at Jia Xu for a long time and said, "Sir, do you think I should vote for Chen Mo or go to Nanyang to wait and see?"

"The Marquis of Changling has the ability to accomplish something, but it's just that we haven't conquered Guanzhong yet, so we don't know yet. If the general defectes at this time, he will naturally be taken more seriously than if he defected later after he has accomplished something." Jia Xu said with a smile: "After all, Xu Guan Therefore, the generals in Guanzhong are afraid that no one is the enemy of Changlinghou. If the general defectes at this time, the outcome will be clearer. "

Zhang Ji nodded and said, "This matter is of great importance. Let Rong Ji think about it."

"That's fine." Jia Xu nodded and stood up, "Xu will say goodbye first."

"Sir, walk slowly."
