27. The operation begins, codename: Yu Gong
Now the relationship between Yuan Shujun and Cao Cao's army can be regarded as a short-handed battle, which not only did the two sides fight happily in the southern part of Jibei, but also seemed to have launched a long-term confrontation in the border area between Chen County and Chen Liuguo.
Although this is the case, since the combined army formed by the Bingzhou army and Cao Cao's army reached the county seat of Jiwu County, Chenliu County, it seems to have stopped there, as if waiting for Yuan Shu's army to converge and attack it. Moreover, the Sizhou general Lu Yi, who is located in Sizhou, does not seem to have any signs of mobilization - neither did he transfer troops to meet Liu Biao, who increased his troops in Nanyang, nor did he ignore the Ji Ling headquarters of Yuan Shujun, who transferred troops from Runan to Yingchuan, so that Ji Ling's long-distance "training" turned into real training.
What exactly is the commander of this combined army, Li Shushi, thinking?
Because Jiwu is closer to Liang than Chenjun, even if the war drums are beating inside and outside Chenjun, the various commercial activities here do not seem to be completely affected, and they can still see business travelers who are not afraid of death coming and going between Yanzhou and Yuzhou from time to time, and for these caravans with the strong support of local families behind them, even Yuan Shujun and Cao Caojun do not dare to make it too difficult for them, after all, unless there is conclusive evidence, they have to abide by some unspoken rules between each other.
"Yo~ Isn't this the Xie family's 'Zaifu', why, this time the business is so big that you have to work hard?"
Yangxia City is a county seat located in the north of Chen County, located in the vortex (in fact, the Han Dynasty should not be called this name, but the word found on the map is a rare word, anyway, we can't type the combination of "ζ°΅" and "Guo".) If the Old Chinese Fang is willing to give us a lesson, we will be grateful.
Well, taking into account the word "yang" in the place name, according to the explanation of Shannan Shuibei, I am afraid that this vortex should have been in the south of Yangxia County, but for Yangxia County in the Yellow Flood Area, the river diversion or something is not too ordinary, maybe I don't know when the river around it will roll to where to cause what kind of tragicomedy, anyway, now this river is in the north of Yangxia County, except for a few ferries, if you want to cross this river, you still need to find a ferry.
Of course. This qiΔ doesn't have much to do with our story today.
The city gate commander at the gate of Yangxia City laughed at the young man who was in the car. But it was limited to that, neither extorting the entry tax, nor checking the vehicles carrying the goods behind him, but just casually touching and going through the motions. With a wave of his hand, he put the convoy into the city. I don't care if there will be contraband in the other person's car.
No. Maybe even if there is really contraband, the captain of the city gate will not care, and even hopes that there are really some "not suitable for appearing" things in it, because it is very likely to make the other party pay more "filial piety money" in order to close his mouth.
Of course. These things will not be delivered on the surface, and the other party's family, which has been rooted here for hundreds of years, naturally has a set of skills to deal with the local government, and how to make this kind of thing beautiful and complete is the only way for the family to survive.
"A few distinguished guests can come out, and when we get here, this is our place, and no one will disturb you."
Guided by hospitable young men, hundreds of people descended from the vast convoy, some from the richly decorated carriages, others from piles of hay and goods, but the latter left some marks on their bodies.
However, such "traces" are nothing to them, and some of the training subjects given to them by an unscrupulous leader are much more troublesome than such small things, and some of them can even be called black history that cannot be looked back on.
However, if you think about it from another angle, they are also very strong in being able to complete those inhuman subjects.
Well, at least under Li Shushi's command, the conversion rate of the Xiliang cavalry can exceed eighty percent even without Li Shushi's cheating methods, and with Li Shushi's "help", who can't get through guΓ² is really a joke in this army.
However, when this army wanted to hide its aura, even the most astute birds and beasts could not detect themβwell, including the humanoid beast beside him, the immortal Xiaoqiang.
"Ahem, Shushi, is it appropriate to hand over all the soldiers to Zhongde and the commander in chief? I don't think these two will defect or anything, but do these two have any experience in fighting, it's so interesting, no, it's exciting to have me alone. β
Let's not talk about whether or not you will mess up with your IQ and go behind enemy lines, but it's very questionable to say that you came here with such a mentality, but I just said "interesting", although I immediately changed my words, but I said it anyway!
Under Li Shushi's powerful eye dart attack, Xiaoqiang finally shook the two large "dumb hairs" on the top of his head.
Well, it is really a very correct thing to let Xiaoqiang regard the three-pronged purple and gold crown as a standing equipment, and it is not in vain that Li Shushi and Su Xiaololi have worked together for so long, and even Su Xiaololi needs to use a little bit (really only a little) of violence.
But the effect is really good.
Although I wasn't used to it at first, if you look at it now, Xiaoqiang has learned to use the two huge "antenna dumb hairs" on the top of his head to express his inner activities, and I believe that over time, he will definitely be able to become the ancestor of the Teletubbies.
"Zhongde and Gonghe are both characters who can get in and out of each other, Gonghe doesn't mention it for the time being, Zhongde also commanded the war against the Xianbei people with us back then, and he also has Cao Zixiao by his side, it's just Yuan Shu, we don't need to worry."
"So, you were going to put me in the first place, did you plan to overkill it~~~!"
Although it is Xiaoqiang, although it is only a little higher than (9), it is unexpectedly sharp in some places.
"Hafnium clam...... What's that, Gongzi Xie, let's not stand here, let's find a place to rest quickly. β
"My lord, but I have orders, and I dare not obey them. The place is ready. Please follow me. β
Although this kind of twist on the topic was really stiff enough, the young man surnamed Xie turned around as if he hadn't heard anything, with an elegant smile on his face, completely ignoring a certain little strong creature standing behind him glaring at him.
Although this family is not famous, the demeanor of the young man in front of him is really impressive.
"Well, I'm afraid it's only slightly inferior to Wen Ruolai. It's a pity that I don't know how much I can do with Wen Ruo. β
Just when Li Shushi was thinking so, a familiar voice with a bit of laziness and uninhibition came from his ears.
"No matter what your ability is, if you can be consistent with the inside and outside, and integrate this calm and elegant into your blood. Even in the third generation, there are no outstanding talents. As long as this family does not encounter annihilation, there will always be a day when it will rise. β
"It's a pity that Jia and the lord probably can't see it, and the lord said that 'the wind god is beautiful, and he is full of Hongji'."
"Perhaps. However, an era has an era of merry people. We are dazzled by the wonderful people of this era. For those unpredictable descendants, let's not bother to do it anymore. β
"I always feel that the lord is joking at Yu Jia. However, there are a lot of Jia people, so it is better not to blame the lord. It's just that when it comes to this contemporary romantic figure and all kinds of wonderful people, doesn't the lord think that this Yuan Highway can also become a 'wonderful person'? β
"Hmph~ It's just dry bones in the mound. It's just a good background. When I was young, I was a little chivalrous, but now, my mind is full of those nonsense things, which are not beneficial to the country and the people, and I am just a guy who makes the world chaotic. β
"Originally, the lord said this, and Jia probably didn't believe it for a minute and a half. However, along the way, I really feel that letting such people continue to shepherd one side is harmful to the world and not beneficial. However, if it weren't for that, I am afraid that it would not be easy for us to be so easy. It's just that I don't know what kind of expression Cao Mengde will have when he learns about the lord's plan. β
"Although I think well, I don't know what the final result will be, after all, my homeland is hard to leave......
After a little expression of his feelings, Li Shushi raised his heel and rushed to the front Xiao Qiang, who seemed to be planning to theorize with the young man surnamed Xie - it was not that he was worried about what Xiao Qiang would do that Xiao Qiang, who was attributed to Xiao Qiang, would do something angry, how to say that Xiao Qiang was just Xiao Qiang, and it was not true (9), even if he could shout "I am the strongest", he would not find a person who neither provoked himself nor was a martial arts wizard or a martial arts name to show his muscles.
That's not a strong person, but a comic comparison, a comic comparison that even Xiaoqiang despises very much.
As for Guo Jia, who was still standing in place, he had a somewhat weird smile on his face, and carefully looked at the surrounding environment.
Anyway, his role in this operation is not obvious, and he has rich time, so it should be regarded as a rare vacation.
After all, when he returns to Jinyang, the things he needs to face will be unprecedentedly complicated, just like his understanding of Jia Xu, the other party also knows himself very well, and many things are already tacitly understood by both parties.
The Xie family's mansion in Chen County covers a considerable area, even if the scale of the entire street is enough to make people staggering when viewed from the outside, not to mention that the Xie family has also built this street into a fortress-like building, which can almost be called a city within a city in Yangxia City. From this, it can also be seen that the Xie family's status in Yangxia is by no means idle.
Of course, according to the words of the young man surnamed Xie, the scale of a mansion like the Xie family is nothing, and in Fule City, not far from Yangxia, the Yuan family house of Chen County has been expanded for several generations, and the scale is more than double that of the Xie family.
In other words, although it may not be as loud as the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family in Runan in terms of prestige, as a family of gate valves from the same source, the Yuan family of Chenjun is also talented, but because it is not as good as the Yuan family of Runan, it is not so high-profile.
Even so, Yuan Peng, the representative of the previous generation of the Yuan clan of Chen County, once lived in Situ, one of the three dukes. And Yuan Peng's son Yuan Lian has served under Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, Lu Bu and others in the history of another plane, but in the Cao Wei regime, he is still prosperous, if he didn't die a little early, maybe he can also achieve the position of the third duke.
Although the Chenjun Xie family's house is large, it is not a powerful gate valve in this era. In terms of influence, it may not be as good as Cao Teng's revived Cao clan in Qian County, even if it can be called a prominent surname in Yangxia, but it is already a little insufficient to put it in a county, not to mention a state or even a country, especially next to Yingchuan, which is full of talents, it is even worse.
But for Li Shushi, the title of Chenjun Xie is like thunder.
Well, let's declare first, Li Shushi is definitely not because he read a certain novel and is interested in the pair of peerless Shuangjiao in it, "Yongxu Xie Daoyun, Burial Flower Lu Weirui", that he will understand the Chen Jun Xie family, a family with great influence in the early Eastern Jin Dynasty. Definitely not!
In fact, I knew that this family was first because of Liu Yuxi's "Wuyi Lane" in the "Old Wang Xie Tang Qianyan", although at that ignorant age, I couldn't understand what "Wang Xie" meant. Even the magnificent Battle of Weishui in the history books still failed to connect the two. On the contrary, I only felt that Xie Anshuai, who was sitting high in the house while listening to the battle report and playing chess with others, was stunned! It can be scraped with Guan Gong to cure poison and called the highest level of playing Go!
In order to play chess (fog), one of them has to go to war (fog), and the other can't even take care of the pain (fog), so it is said that a person works hard to get to this kind of process in order to play Go. It must have been the best of that era.
All right. At that time, it was influenced by my father's generation. I was obsessed with Go for a while, but then the years passed, and many things became black history that must be sealed. The board and pieces of Go have not been moved for a long time.
There is no mood to play chess, and there is no longer a person who can accompany him to play chess......
Ahem, it seems to be far away.
The young man who received Li Shushi was named Xie Bi, a young man who the Xie family focused on cultivating, and it was said that there was a great possibility of becoming the future patriarch of the Xie clan in Chen County - whether this news was accurate or not is not for the time being, but the Xie family took out this person to receive Li Shushi, although it cannot be said to be full of sincerity, but at least it can be regarded as enough attention, at least Li Shushi feels that the other party's first impression of him is not bad.
As for being ridiculed as "Xie Jia Zaifu" at the city gate before, it was also because of this Xie Bi's character Wenfu, whether it was his name or words, it sounded very atmospheric, but this Xie Bi refused Yuan Shu's newly appointed Chen Jun Taishou to recommend filial piety, and naturally declined the other party's request. Although it is not possible to take Xie Bi for the time being, he will not be harshly criticized for taking the opportunity to make a few jokes.
"I've seen the lord." Γ2γ
Entering the courtyard arranged by Xie Bi for everyone, as soon as Li Shushi entered the door, he saw two young people with familiar figures standing in the center of the courtyard, bowing their heads to salute themselves, and they were Xiao Yang Fu and a certain little dead ant that he hadn't seen for many days.
"You two have worked hard these days, I have read the report, and you have done a good job, which is worthy of praise. So this time I decided to plan the plan of action with the two of you as the main focus, we are all pawns in the hands of the two of you, and you can do whatever you want to do boldly. β
smiled and patted the shoulders of the two little guys, making the two little guys' bodies tremble in unison, and the indifferent and solemn expressions that were originally hidden between the sleeves also disappeared without a trace in the moment of slightly baring their teeth, and there was a little more vitality belonging to the teenager on his body.
Let the two of you pretend to be little adults in front of us, and after eating our family's mastery "Heart-Eater" soul searcher, you can still pretend to be powerful.
Although Li Shushi's martial potential is still worrying, he is already a gentleman in his twenties who is physically and mentally healthy (fog), a "big man" with a height of more than eight feet, and he uses his strength to bully the two bodies that have not fully opened, and the most important thing is that these two are not talented "children", Li Shushi feels that he has only used eight points of strength.
Well, yes, it took eight points of strength or something to beat people to a stumbling side, and sure enough, the force potential is too low or something is the original sin......
Although I don't know why the lord who was still smiling just now appeared in the corner of the wall in a blink of an eye and seemed to be interested in a few ants walking between the corners, these two are not strangers, and Li Shushi's black history is not all known, and he has heard a lot about it on weekdays, so he naturally treats his lord as air.
After all, compared to Li Shushi, although the other one has not appeared until the present of this chapter, these two young people will definitely not ignore her sense of existence, especially in this situation where Li Shushi is cute and Xiaoqiang is stupid.
"Don't look at me all the time, rest. Rest first, eat if you want to eat, and sleep if you want to sleep. But don't bother me~ From now on, it's the girls' private ~ private ~ time ~ time ~ ! β
As for what a certain Lori wants to do to Zhen Xiao Lori and Qiao Lori who are following behind her, everyone is reluctant to think deeply.
Just like the murderous Lori hinted at, if you want to peek at something you shouldn't peep into, it's definitely a dead end.
So when Li Shushi, who had recovered to normal not long after, pulled Xiaoqiang and Guo Jia with the two teenagers to prepare for a "man's conversation", Su Xiaololi couldn't be found around, but he felt that the smell in the air seemed to be a little weird.
Because it was not the first time he had smelled similar feelings, Li Shushi wisely decided to cherish life and chose to hold a "men's meeting".
"Yishan. Zhongda. What did you two think about and choose the original location in this Yangxia City? β
Li Shushi's attitude was not so much an inquiry, but more like a feeling of asking for advice, probably because he was extremely satisfied with the actions of the two little guys this time. So let them show their abilities in front of several high-level leaders of the state army.
It's just that although these two can't be said to be two and three nothing. But they are all the kind of people who are extremely calm in the face of things-Yang Fu has probably been used to his cousin Jiang Xu. So he can stay calm at all times, after all, if he doesn't do this, it is estimated that the pits dug for him by his cousin alone will cause this young man from Hanyang to die due to a ruptured blood vessel.
As for a certain dead ant, under Su Xiaololi's training for many years. It is absolutely possible to call it "Mount Tai collapsed in front and the color remains unchanged", after all, no matter how shocking the news is, it seems so ordinary compared to the various "educations" he received from Su Xiaololi, if you feel that one is not enough, there is also a small friendship gift from Tuoba Li, which is connected to the same fate, double the stimulation and double the enjoyment.
So even if it's a pseudo-three-nothing, but with Li Shushi's skill tree, if you want to make these two people show the expressions he wants on their faces, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary high difficulty - maybe they will be slandered by the two little guys in their hearts for "limited level of mancai".
"Back to the lord. After the discussion between Fu and Zhongda, we thought that there were three advantages to choosing Yangxia. β
Raising three fingers, Yang Fu's face was still calm, and he didn't show an excited expression, and he couldn't even see expressions such as confidence, which made Li Shushi a little suspicious that the young man in front of him was possessed by Yan Rou's soul.
In other words, Jiang Xu, how much pit do you have to be in order to pit your cousin into this kind of magical existence like Yan Rou, which makes people feel cold behind their backs when they look at it.
"First, Yangxia is very close to our army, no matter what happens, as long as it can cause a commotion, then our army can support it as quickly as possible.
Second, in order to support the princes in their crusade against Dong Zhuo, Chen Wangzhong moved his dormitory from Chen County to Yangxia, and reorganized his army in Yangxia to strengthen the city defense. Even if he later returned to Chen County, he still often returned to Yangxia to inspect, so the city defense here is quite complete, and it can even be said that it is the most complete city in Chen County. If we launch it elsewhere, even if the light cavalry can bypass Yangxia for a while, Yangxia will eventually become a problem for our army. Rather than expend a lot of manpower and material resources to attack the enemy who is holding on to the fortified city at that time, it is better to take the city from the beginning.
Third, because Chen Wangpet and Chen Guoxiangjun often come here, there are also some subordinates here, most of whom hid in the people after Chen Wangzhong's death. Therefore, the people here will not only support our actions, but also many of the loyal subordinates who previously belonged to Chen Wangzhong to help us in our actions. For example, the Xie family sheltered the three lieutenants under Chen Wangzhong and Chen Xiangjun's Facao. β
"Doesn't Zhongda have anything to add?" Li Shushi didn't make any comments, but looked at Sima Yi.
"Without the permission of the lord, Yishan and I have made some contact with some Chen Jun families in private, and I have not made any promises to each other, but even so, there are many families who are very interested in our TiyΓ¬. Although His Majesty is in Puyang, there are still many people who are not very optimistic about Cao Mengde, and they also don't like Yuan Highway. If the lord allows it, they should do something. β
Li Shushi still did not comment, but only encouraged the two young people and asked them to continue to work hard.
It's just that when the two young men left the house, the atmosphere in the house suddenly became oppressive. (To be continued......)
