Chapter 643: As long as Tao Qian is dead
Outside the city of Xuzhou, in a village less than 100 miles.
Lu Bu sat in the main house of a family facing the door, staring at Jia Xu who was sitting opposite him with a pair of eyes.
On the left side of the house, Chen Gong was also sitting on a straw mat, his eyes wandering over Lu Bu and Jia Xu from time to time.
"Zhonglang can't play Yu?" His eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of Lu Bu's mouth pulled up a strange smile, and he said to Jia Xu in a very cold tone: "That day, the king of Luoyang captured us, and we were almost poisoned by the king of Luoyang......"
"Warm wait!" Before Lu Bu's words were finished, Jia Xu dragged his tone, interrupted his words, and said to him: "Wen Hou said this, I think it's a little inappropriate. On the day of the Luoyang Rebellion, Wen Hou suddenly led the army into the palace the day before His Royal Highness's wedding. If the guards resist desperately, His Highness may be more than lucky. ”
was told by Jia Xu about the events of the day, Lu Bu's face became even more gloomy, and when he looked at Jia Xu, his brows were always tightly wrung up.
Jia Xu didn't stop talking because of Lu Bu's unkind look, and then said to Lu Bu: "Wen Hou even entered the back garden of the palace that day, if it wasn't for General Zilong arriving in time, I'm afraid Luoyang has become a borderless land at this moment." Even so, His Royal Highness still remembered the past relationship with Wen Hou and his wife, and couldn't bear to be a killer, Wen Hou could say such words, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous? ”
"Enough!" was counted by Jia Xu, Lu Bu frowned tightly, pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand, sat up with a long body, stared at Jia Xu with round eyes, and shouted: "Could it be that Zhonglang is not afraid to kill you today!" ”
"A certain person is doing things for the king of Luoyang, and he is open-minded. If Wen Hou really wants to kill, then kill so-and-so! Glaring back at Lu Bu, Jia Xu also sat up straight, and said without giving in for half a step: "I'm afraid of killing someone, there is no place in this world!" ”
Jia Xu's hardness angered Lu Bu.
As soon as he drew his long sword, Lu Bu was about to stand up as soon as he owed.
Chen Gong, who was kneeling on the side, saw that the two of them were making trouble, so he hurriedly got up, rushed between the two of them quickly, spread his arms, blocked in front of Lu Bu, and said to Lu Bu: "Wen Hou is angry, although Jia Zhonglang's words are not listened to, but they are the words of his own family, if Wen Hou really kills Zhonglang, I am afraid that it is really as Zhonglang said, and there is no place for Wen Hou in the world." ”
was stopped by Chen Gong, Lu Bu's anger had not subsided, but Chen Gong's words made him a little more reasonable.
Inserting the long sword back into the sheath, and when the long sword fell into the sheath, Lu Bu pushed the hilt of the sword hard, and pushed the long sword with a "snap", and then asked Jia Xu in a cold voice: "Zhonglang is here, what is the matter, come quickly!" ”
"Coming for the life of your family!" Lu Bu asked him why he came here, and Jia Xu said to him without any subtlety: "Liu Bei arrived in Xuzhou, and Tao Qian treated him like a guest. If Wen Hou also goes to Xuzhou, I am afraid that Tao Qian will be like a great enemy. In such a situation, how can Wen Hou gain a foothold in the world? ”
Jia Xu's words were indeed ugly, but every word made sense, even though Lu Bu was full of displeasure when he heard it, he couldn't say anything, so he could only wrinkle his brows tightly and sit there with a look of resentment.
"Since Zhonglang is here, he must have a clever plan!" Although Lu Bu didn't speak, Chen Gong, who was standing between the two, turned around, clasped his fists and saluted Jia Xu, and said to Jia Xu: "I wish to hear the details!" ”
Glancing at Lu Bu, Jia Xu stretched out his hand to stroke the beard on his chin, groaned slightly, and said to Chen Gong: "That Tao Qian has always had a weak body, and he must be protected by medicinal materials every day to be like an ordinary person. If I wait for the person who buys the medicine and delivers it, I will add a flavor or two to him......"
Having said this, Jia Xu didn't speak again, but a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes squinted at Chen Gong.
Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, and then stroked his palm and said with a smile: "I yearn for someone to say that Zhonglang is a poisoner, and I still don't believe it, but today I heard Zhonglang's words, and I believed it." Good plan, just a little poison! ”
"No poison, no husband!" With a smile on his face, Jia Xu maintained a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and didn't say much, just threw out such a sentence lightly.
"Good!" Nodding, Chen Gong raised his fists again, bowed to Jia Xu, and said to Jia Xu: "Wen Hou and I can't enter Xuzhou City, but Zhonglang is in the name of the king of Luoyang, but he can get in." If you buy the person who delivers the medicine, you will ask Zhonglang to do it, can you? ”
"Yes!" Jia Xu didn't shirk at all, nodded his head, responded to Chen Gong's request, and then stood up, arched his fist towards Chen Gong and said, "In this way, I will enter Xuzhou first and wait in the city." Brought to Wenhou to occupy Xuzhou, His Royal Highness will send blades, grain and grass! ”
may still have a deep prejudice against Liu Wei, when Jia Xu said this, Lu Bu never said anything.
It wasn't until Jia Xu left the house and strode out of the house that Lu Bu raised his head, looked at Chen Gong, and asked Chen Gong, "What does Jia Xu mean?" ”
"It's a serial plan!" Hearing Lu Bu's question, Chen Gong smiled slightly and said to him: "If Tao Qian dies, this Xuzhou will be obtained by Liu Bei." Wen Hou will go to Liu Bei at that time, Liu Bei must pretend to give Xuzhou to Wen Hou, Wen Hou does not need to seize Xuzhou, just need to borrow Xiao Pei from Liu Bei first, wait until the whole army is ready, take advantage of Liu Bei's unintentionally take Xuzhou in one fell swoop, and since then Xuzhou has entered the hands of Wen Hou! ”
"Could it be that Jia Xu really didn't laugh at Yu!" After listening to Chen Gong's words, Lu Bu nodded suddenly, as if he was talking to himself.
"I'm too worried!" Raising his hand and brushing the beard on his chin, Chen Gong's face was full of smiles, and he said to Lu Bu: "If Jia Xu had the heart to laugh, he would not have made a special trip from Luoyang to Xuzhou. This time, Jia Xu came in response to the intention of the king of Luoyang. ”
"Could it be that the king of Luoyang really has some affection for a certain person?" Thinking of betraying Liu Wei at the beginning, and now accepting Liu Wei's support, Lu Bu felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and subconsciously asked Chen Gong.
As soon as Jia Xu arrived here, Chen Gong had already seen that Liu Wei wanted to use Lu Bu's strength to drag Cao Cao, originally he didn't plan to help Jia Xu facilitate this matter, but after thinking about it, now Lu Bu has already become a slave with three surnames, and no one dares to take him in in the world, and I am afraid that the only way out is to seize Xuzhou.
After Lu Bu asked this, he just raised his fists and bowed deeply to Lu Bu, which was regarded as an answer.
Jia Xu's action was meaningful, but Lu Bu didn't see the clues.
After a slight sigh, Lu Bu nodded, sighed lightly, and said to Chen Gong: "That's it, he betrayed the king of Luoyang that day, but he didn't kill so-and-so, which can be regarded as a favor to so-and-so." Today, it's such a foil, even if it's really used for it, a certain one will admit it! ”
Lu Bu's words were very helpless, and Chen Gong, who was standing in front of him, was very unhappy in his heart when he heard such words.
But Chen Gong knew very well that at this time, he must not tell Liu Wei's true intentions, at least until Lu Bu really occupied Xuzhou and stabilized his foundation, there were some things that he could not say to Lu Bu.
Liu Bei entered Xuzhou City, and Lu Bu had also come to Xuzhou City, Shouchun City in Huainan at this time.
Yuan Shu, who had just come to Shouchun from Yangzhou, stood on the city wall and looked at the verdant Xiangling in the distance.
The tomb is in a north-south direction, spanning the east of Shouchun.
The undulating mountains are not very towering, but they also have a graceful beauty.
In the Western Han Dynasty, this place was named Bagong Mountain because there were eight warlocks in this alchemy.
The water and the tomb are criss-crossed, which can be described as a place of beautiful mountains and rivers.
The trees are full of branches and leaves, and the verdant greenery gives a little bit of heat to the hot summer.
On the city wall of Shouchun, the soldiers of the Huainan Army who are stubborn and stubborn stand straight and stand like sculptures.
With his hands behind his back, wearing a crimson brocade robe, Yuan Shu stood on the city wall, looked out of the city, his eyes narrowed slightly, and asked the officials behind him: "Before Bo Fu returned to Jiangdong, he gave the jade seal of the country to a certain person, and the jade seal was in his hand, should he send it to the king of Luoyang, or should it be sent to Xuchang and returned to His Majesty today?" ”
"Yuan Gong!" As soon as Yuan Shu's words fell, a person behind him stood up, clenched his fists, and said to Yuan Shu: "Now the Han Society is declining, like the sunset. There is a way to be reincarnated in heaven, and the great Han spirit has been exhausted, why did Yuan Gong return the jade seal to the Han family? ”
Hearing the person behind him speak like this, Yuan Shu turned his head and glanced at him.
The person who spoke was none other than Li Feng, who had always instigated Yuan Shu to become emperor.
From Li Feng's words, Yuan Shu seemed to hear something, although he didn't speak, the joy on his face was difficult to hide.
Seeing that Yuan Shu's face was happy, Li Feng hugged his fists and bowed, and hurriedly continued: "Yuan Gong sits in Huainan, which is where the spirit of the people is located, the rivers and rivers in the territory are vertical and horizontal, the wind and rain are smooth in all seasons, and the north and south are guarded, and it has always been a place for soldiers to fight. And the Huainan army is brave and famous, and Yuan Gong ......"
"Could it be that Master Li wants to trap Duke Yuan for injustice?" Before Li Feng's words were finished, Yuan Shu's face just had a smug look, and another voice poured a basin of cold water on Yuan Shu's head at this moment: "The Han Dynasty has not been completely destroyed, and the king of Luoyang guards Luoyang, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command." Crusade against Dong Zhuo, exterminate Gongsun Zhan, and conquer the Xiongnu in the north, how could the king of Luoyang be defeated? ”
"Yuan Gong!" first refuted Li Feng's words, and then Yuan Jian picked up his fists, bowed to Yuan Shu and said: "Master Li's instigation of Yuan Gong to leave the Han family is nothing more than to seek more benefits for his family. Once Duke Yuan is proclaimed emperor, he can be named his wife and son and be the founder of the country. But Yuan Gong has never thought that if the heroes rise up today, the king of Luoyang is a Miao descendant of the Han family, and it is difficult to gather the heroes, Yuan Gong is called the emperor, who is willing to obey? ”
