The sun has not yet risen, with the sound of birds chirping in the breeze blowing together, and there is a slight coolness, Jing Xiang has appeared outside a courtyard in Wuyi City, the soldiers on duty at the door have obviously been instructed, and before Jing Xiang can speak, he has already stepped forward and pushed open the gate.

Jing Xiang smiled and nodded at them, walked up the steps, crossed the high threshold, walked into the door, turned the wall, and saw a figure punching in the courtyard.

The boxer was one of the targets of his visit, Zhu Wen's ally, Cao Xuan, the commander of the Tianping Army. Seeing Cao Xuan's shouting and vigorous boxing technique, Jing Xiang couldn't help but applaud lightly.

Cao Xuan turned around, saw Jing Xiang, and nodded slightly: "Master Jingjun, are you here?" ”

"I thought you'd suffer a lot, but it looks pretty good." Jing Xiang walked over with a smile: "Cao Shuai, I suffered." ”

"The general of the defeated army is ashamed and has no land." Cao Xuan shook his head ashamedly and said, "It's a big thing to ruin Zhu Shuai." When they escorted me here a few days ago, they said that Jingjun had arrived in Wuyi, and Zhu Shuai had taken thousands of people in exchange for me and Youzhen, which made me even more ashamed! ”

"Where is Cao Shuai talking about, those people are worthless to us, but Cao Shuai is indispensable to us, no matter how you calculate it, it's a good deal!" Jing Xiang said with a smile.

Cao Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "You say that, my heart is much better." ”

"Why don't you see Yuzhen? Didn't Gongsun Changming, that old man, say that the two of you are together? Jing Xiang looked left and right, saw Zhu Youzhen's figure, and asked.

Cao Xuan sighed, pointed to the wing room on the right, shook his head and said: "After I was captured, I still had the most basic treatment, except for the restriction of freedom of movement, I didn't suffer any other hardships, Youzhen is different." He suffered greatly. Now the body is seriously injured, the spirit is not very normal, it is difficult to sleep at night, often yelling, last night and tossed in the middle of the night, before you came, just rested. ”

Jing Xiang said in horror: "How can this be? ”

"The matter of the kettle." Cao Xuan said: "Didn't Youzhen send some assassins in order to save the defeat?" Li Ze's mother died in this incident. ”

Jing Xiang frowned and said, "It was an accident. Li Ze wouldn't be so narrow-minded, right? ”

"Li Ze is not, but Liu Ruyan is not. I guess this incident is probably someone was instructed by Liu Ruyan. Cao Huan shook his head and said: "Youzhen was intercepted by Liu Ruyan when he broke through, and he was shot in the thigh. If you come any later, I'm afraid he won't even be able to save his life, but even so, one of his legs will be ruined, and he will not be able to walk well in the future, that's for sure. ”

Jing Xiang stayed for a moment before muttering: "Only women and villains are difficult to raise." ”

"It's useless to say this, you can only try to take revenge in the future." Cao Xuan said: "Sit in the house, since you can come here, probably I will soon be able to regain my freedom." ”

"Today, I'm here to pick you up and go to the post house to meet us, and after meeting Li Ze, we can go back." The two walked into the house, Jing Xiang said.

Sitting in the room, two guards dressed in the uniforms of Tianping soldiers served teacups to the two, and seeing Jing Xiang's eyes falling on these two people, Cao Xuan said: "When I was captured, there was no one around, and Wuwei Jun found these two soldiers to take care of me, Jing Junshi, these days, I don't know anything about the outside, how is my Tianping Army now?" At that time, there should have been a lot of routs, and no more than one-third of those who were captured and killed on the spot should have been killed. ”

"Except for you, the rest of the people have been sent out of their mouths." Jing Xiang said. "These two soldiers were lucky that they didn't go to Mozhou to do hard labor."

Cao Xuan's teeth were gritted, but there was nothing he could do.

"Can you find a way to let Wuwei release them too?"

"Unlikely." Jing Xiang said: "The officer may work hard to see what conditions the other party will propose, ordinary soldiers don't think about it, Wu Wei is building a large-scale tuntian in the direction of Mozhou, building towns and fortresses, and preparing to fight against Pingzhou for a long time, how can it be possible to let these people come back?" ”

"It's okay to be able to put the officers back, as long as these officers are still there, it can't rebuild an army, and you also know that most of these officers under my command are from wealthy families in my jurisdiction, and it is still very important to bring these people back to get the support of these people." Cao Xuan said.

"When I see Li Ze, I will bring this up." Jing Xiang said.

"Very good, military advisor, tell me the situation outside, it's been a few months, I've become deaf and blind, and I'm very uneasy!" Cao Xuan said.

It took more than an hour, Jing Xiang explained everything that happened during this period of time to Cao Xuan one by one, and when he heard Zhaoyi and Wei Bo, they all fell into the hands of Li Ze, and Cao Xuan was even more remorseful.

"Tian Yue is really a waste, I think too highly of him, I think he has the ability to control the situation, which ultimately led to this big defeat, if I plan for the worst from the time I send out the troops, at least, we can still hold Weizhou and share the Zhaoyi area with Li Ze."

"Speaking of which, this matter is not entirely Tian Yue's problem, Tian Ping is Tian Chenghe's son after all, Tian Yue took over not long ago, he can't completely control it, and he doesn't dare to kill Tian Ping first, which itself has buried hidden dangers." Jing Xiang shook his head and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about it, although the loss of Luzhou is a hidden danger for us, but it does not shake our foundation after all." ”

"But where Wei Bo is, he can pose a direct threat to my scales." Cao Xuan said.

"So we need you to go back even more, and only you can restore order to the now chaotic scales in a short period of time." Jing Xiang said.

Cao Xuan nodded, and was about to speak, but suddenly there was a terrible roar and the movement of tables, chairs and benches toppling over, Cao Xuan stood up and said, "Wake up, it's another seizure." I really don't know what happened to him in these days. ”

The two hurriedly walked out of the door, came to the right wing, pushed open the door, and saw a scene that made Jing Xiang angry and sad.

The former dignified seven-foot strong man, a brave soldier on the battlefield, now fell under the bed, and shrank in the corner of the bed like a child, pulling the curtain to cover himself, and when he heard the sound of the door opening, he tilted his head to one side and roared.

Cao Xuan waved his hand, and the two guards hurriedly walked over, got Zhu Youzhen out of the bed, pressed him on the bed, and looked at Zhu Youzhen who kept writhing and struggling on the bed, Jing Xiang punched the door hard, and with a loud bang, he turned around and walked out. Zhu Xuan sighed and followed.

"Wu Jian, you go to Gongsun Changming and tell him that you will immediately send the best doctor to treat Youzhen, and if you want the best, you want Jin Yuan to come in person. You told him that if you don't cure Youzhen, then he prayed that no one would fall into our hands in the future, and that we would do the same thing as we would treat others in the way of others. Jing Xiang roared.

Wu Jian also had fire in his eyes, agreed, turned around and walked away.

Zhu Youzhen's current situation is indeed miserable.

Generally speaking, when it comes to Zhu Youzhen's status, even if the army is defeated, even if it falls into the hands of the opponent, it will not be humiliated too much.

Like Cao Xuan, in addition to being restricted in his freedom, he also deliberately found his two fellow countrymen in the past to take care of him, which is the norm.

That's why Jing Xiang was so angry when he saw Zhu Youzhen's appearance.

The two returned to the house, and Zhu Xuan said: "Mrs. Wang's death made Liu Ruyan extremely embarrassed, maybe Li Ze will also blame Liu Ruyan for this, you also know that although Liu Ruyan is the wife of the main room, Li Ze's wife Xia He is not an ordinary person, Liu Ruyan is angry and deliberately retaliates because of this, so he will torture Youzhen so much." With her hints, there is no reason why the people below are not working hard. ”

"I don't care about Liu Ruyan, I only talk to Li Ze." Jing Xiang said with a dark face. "After all, he wants to give me an explanation. A soldier can be killed, not humiliated, defeated and captured, he wants to kill or chop, we have nothing to say, but what is the reason for such humiliation? ”

After being angry for a while, Jing Xiang finally calmed down, brought the edict of the small court of Zhenzhou on political reform that he carried with him, and handed it to Cao Huan, "Look at Li Ze's next big move." ”

After reading it carefully, Cao Xuan exclaimed: "Li Ze is going to completely erect the Son of Heaven and monopolize power!" Strategist, the article here is huge! Ha, is Li Ze going to be the enemy of the world's powerful and famous families? That's a great thing for us! ”

"A good thing indeed." Jing Xiang said: "Before leaving Chang'an, Zhu Shuai and I made a strategy, choosing a Li Tang clan to establish the world, and on the grounds that Li Yan was immoral and unreasonable, and I declared martial arts to hang the people and fight against the small court of Zhenzhou. ”

"This is the right reason, since then, we have the name to discuss with the south to crusade against Li Ze, the wealthy families in the south have seen this edict, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to sleep, right?"

"Naturally, Li Ze is digging up their lifeblood, if Li Ze wins, won't they die without a place to be buried!" Jing Xiang sneered: "Li Ze is too naïve, this world, but it is still in the hands of Haoqiang and the family, does he think that the policies that are effective in Wuwei can be feasible in the world?" How old is Wu Weicai? How big is the world? ”
