The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Liu Bei's suggestion to Xu Rong was that Xu Rong should send his officials to Huayin again to see Duan Xuan in secret.

As for why Liu Bei made this suggestion, I don't need to say much.

Just saying that Xu Rong followed this suggestion, wrote a letter in his own hand, selected a competent official, and sent him to Huayin the next day.

Cheng Jia has always acted resolutely and never procrastinated. He also left Yingchuan on this day and went north to Hanoi County.

Although the two armies are fighting, they will not be killed, and Xun Zhen and Yuan Shao have not really fought. Even if they go to see Zhang Yang openly, Cheng Jia will not encounter any danger. Jia crossed the Yindi boundary in Henan, crossed the Yellow River, and after entering Hanoi County, he was still sneaking.

Cheng Jia crosses the Yellow River from the north of Xingyang. It is not far from crossing the river, about 30 to 40 miles away, that is, Huai County, the county seat of Hanoi County.

Entering the city and coming outside the county mansion, Cheng Jialing's entourage went to the mansion gate to stab him and ask to see Zhang Yang.

The name on the thorn was not Cheng Jia's real name, but the name of a friend from Bingzhou. The official reported that Zhang Yang really thought it was his old friend who came to defect to him from Bingzhou, and hurriedly invited him in, and waited in the hall by himself.

But after waiting for a while, I saw a scholar, wearing a high crown and brocade clothes, entering the courtyard under the guidance of two small officials.

Although this person is well-dressed, he looks at him, but he is short in stature and ugly in appearance. Where is his friend?

Zhang Yang wondered in his heart, and when this person came to the hall to salute, he asked, "You are not my friend, who are you?"

This person is Cheng Jia.

Cheng Jia got up in a hurry and said, "General, please retreat first."

Zhang Yang had previously been appointed by Dong Zhuo as "General Jianyi, Prefect of Hanoi", so no matter whether he was a general or a monarch, both titles were applicable to him. Zhang Yang hesitated for a while, but Cheng Jia spread out his sleeves and said with a smile, "I have no strength to tie the chicken, and I am alone in the hall, why? With the unparalleled bravery of General Ming, are you still afraid that it will not be good for the general?"

Looking at Cheng Jia's appearance, it does not look like an assassin. Even if he is an assassin, Zhang Yang started his career in Bingzhou with "Wu Meng Engagement". In terms of force, he is indeed outstanding, and he is not Zhang Yang's opponent.

Zhang Yang waved his hand and ordered to go down from the officials and servants in the servant hall.

Only Zhang Yang and Cheng Jia were left in the hall.

Cheng Jia Naicai answered Zhang Yang Shicai's question and said, "Under Cheng Jia, I don't know if the general ever had a cheap name?"

"Cheng Jia?" Zhang Yang suddenly remembered a person, combined with the appearance of the rumored person and the respectful face of the person in front of him, guessed, "Is it Cheng Junchang?"

Cheng Jia smiled and said, "I can't think of the humble name of a servant. General Ming has also heard of it, but the dirty general has heard it clearly! Junchang is just talking about the humble name."

Zhang Yang said in surprise, "Aren't you Xun Zhendong...?"

Cheng Jia said, "I don't dare to hide the general. The next time I ask to see the general, I am under the order of my main town."

Zhang Yang became more and more surprised, and couldn't help asking: "By Zhendong's order? ... Zhendong's order came to see me? This, why is this?"

Cheng Jia didn't answer him. Instead, he suddenly asked a seemingly mindless question. He asked Zhang Yang and said, "I heard that General Ming has both civil and military skills, so I dare to ask the general. Have you ever read "Warring States Policy"?"

Zhang Yang said, "I have read it."

Cheng Jia said: "Every lobbyist, before giving a speech, often makes a surprising statement, usually with 'Your Majesty is in danger' as an opening remark...General, this sentence is exactly what I want to say to the general. ."

The person I saw was not an old friend, which Zhang Yang did not expect. The visitor was actually sent by Xun Zhen, which was even more unexpected to Zhang Yang. , three unexpected surprises in a row, Zhang Yang, at this time, there is only one word to describe, that is: Zhang Er King Kong, can't figure it out.

He was stunned and said, "What do you mean by this?"

Cheng Jia said: "I heard that Yuan Benchu ​​has always treated the general very well, I wonder if this is possible?"

Zhang Yang said: "Yuan Gong really loves me very much."

This was obviously a statement against Zhang Yang's intentions, but Cheng Jia didn't pierce it, and continued: "That's quite confusing."

Zhang Yang asked, "Where do you not understand?"

Cheng Jia said: "I have heard that General Ming and Yuan Benchu ​​are not old friends, and Yuan Benchu's important personnel are either famous people with the right surname in Yuzhou, or the heroes of the crown clan in Jizhou, and the general is from Bingzhou, and he is also with them. Most of them have no friendship, and if that's the case, why did Yuan Benchu ​​treat the general so kindly?"

Zhang Yang was speechless, and after a while, he asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Cheng Jia followed his own words and said, "Yes, after thinking about it, Yuan Benchu ​​treated the general very well, and it was only for one reason."

Zhang Yang asked, "Why?"

Cheng Jia said with a smile: "Before Jizhou had a group of thieves in the west of Heishan, and there was a strong enemy Gongsun Zan in the north. Yuan Benchu ​​couldn't take care of himself, and his foothold in Jizhou was not yet stable, so he had to endure the general and win over him with kindness."

Zhang Yang frowned and said, "If you continue to talk nonsense with your feet, I will ask you to go out with your feet!"

Regardless of what he said, Cheng Jia continued: "But I don't know if the general has thought about it, last winter and this spring, Yuan Benchu ​​had already wiped out most of the thieves in Montenegro, and there are only one million people in Montenegro. Cao Mengde and Gao Gan had echoed Yuan Benchu, and they were trapped in the Taihang Valley, which was cramped between Ji and Ji, and it was no longer possible to pose a great threat to Yuan Benchu. Xianyufu and Su Puyan went south to Jizhou to ask for help, Yuan Benchu ​​had already cooperated with Yuan Benchu. They reached a covenant, Quyi has already marched into Zhuo County, and will attack Gongsun Zan. It is Gongsun Zan very much.

Dear, this chapter is not over, and there is another page ^0^ Soon, it will no longer be a threat to Yuan Benchu.

"Be bold and dare to ask General Ming, and wait until Yuan Benchu ​​destroys Gongsun Zan, and the general asks him to save him. Will Yuan Benchu ​​still endure the general and treat the general kindly? Will the soldiers of Ji and Yu under Yuan Benchu's tent still sit at the table? Does General Ming own Hanoi?"

Although it's not clear why Cheng Jia came to see him, and the opening remarks made by Cheng Jia cover his face, Cheng Jia's words were right and accurate in Zhang Yang's heart.

Zhang Yang was silent.

Cheng Jia asked with a smile, "Does General Ming still want to expel guests?"

Zhang Yang said: "What is the purpose of stepping down, please make it clear."

Cheng Jia said: "Hanoi controls the great river in the south, Guanzhong in the west, Jizhou in the north, and Yan and Henan in the east. At this time, it is a battleground for the military! It can be said to be the confidant of the Quartet! These are the most important things. , When Yuan Benchu ​​freed up his hands, I was worried, not only that General Ming could no longer occupy this place, but also the life of the general would be worried! So I just said, 'Your Majesty is in danger', this is exactly what I was thinking. The opening remarks I said to the general... are exactly what I said to General Ming."

Zhang Yang was silent for a long time and asked, "Did Zhendong tell you to tell me these words?"

Cheng Jia still refused to answer Zhang Yang directly, but instead asked a question and said with a smile, "I have another question next, dare to ask the general."

Zhang Yang said, "Please speak with your steps."

Cheng Jia stood up tall, stared openly, and said, "Dare to ask General Ming if he still has the ambition to sit in Hanoi and be a hero?"

"What do you mean by this?"

Cheng Jia said: "If the general has such a wish, he has a strategy under him, which can be enough to ensure that General Ming can realize this wish."

Zhang Yang said "oh", looked at Cheng Jia, and waited for him to continue.

But Cheng Jia's next words seemed to be off topic again, he said: "Since the start of the army, my main town has fought in the southeast and the north, and I have been invincible. Today, I am sitting in Xu, Qing, and Yan states, and outside Yuzhou. For wings, millions of elite soldiers, and thousands of generals, he has long been a giant in China, and I dare to ask the generals, do you know anything about the generals under my main account?"

Zhang Yang said, "Xun Cheng, Le Jin, and Xu Xian are all generals in Zhendong."

Cheng Jia said: "There is one more general, the general forgot."

Zhang Yang asked, "What general?"

Cheng Jia said, "Xu Rong."

Zhang Yang was taken aback and said, "Yes, Xu Rong is indeed a general."

In terms of performance alone, Xu Rong is not inferior to Xun Cheng, Le Jin, Xu Xian and others. When he defended Dong Zhuo against the Kwantung coalition, he first defeated Cao Cao and then Sun Jian. .

Cheng Jia said: "More than generals! Cao Mengde and Sun Wentai are both famous generals, but they were all defeated by General Xu! With General Xu's ability, looking at the sea, under the control of my lord, he can sweep the princes! Ji Zhijing is definitely not the enemy of General Xu, and Han Xin in ancient times is nothing more than this. Today, my lord ordered Xu Rong to lead troops to station in Yingchuan, dare to ask the general, do you know why?"

Compared to Han Xin, this is a big blow, but Zhang Yang certainly doesn't have the time to correct Cheng Jia and argue with him.

After Xu Rong arrived in Yingchuan, he exchanged letters with Zhang Ji, Duan Xun, Yang Ding, etc., and constantly dispatched meticulous works to inquire about the truth of Henan Yin and many surrounding forces, and even dispatched some troops to enter Henan Yin, adjacent to Yingchuan. County boundaries, building outposts, what does he want? Zhang Yang had already guessed the purpose of his doing these things.

However, instead of stating his guess, he asked Cheng Jia and said, "What is it for?"

Cheng Jia said, "Does General Ming really not know?"

"I would like to hear your advice."

Cheng Jia's eyes were bright, and he spit out a few words: "My main town wants to take Henan Yin!"

Speaking of this time, Zhang Yang has already guessed what Cheng Jia's purpose was to see him on Xun Zhen's order.

Seeing that he was silent again, Cheng Jia said: "I dare to ask General Ming again, with the help of Sun Bofu, what are the chances of the general thinking that Xu Rong will collect Henan Yin for my lord?"

Zhang Yang said: "There are no strong troops stationed in the Yin territory of Henan. If General Xu and Sun Bofu join forces to take it, it will not be difficult."

Cheng Jia shook his head and said, "Otherwise, it will be difficult. There are two difficulties. The first is that the generals of Zhang Ji will obstruct them, and the second is that the generals of Ming may be forced by Yuan Benchu's orders to obstruct them, but if the generals are willing to hold back, It is really easy for Xu Rong to collect Henan Yin for my lord! I came to see the general under the order of my lord Zhendong, just to ask the general, will the general prevent Xu Rong from taking Henan Yin for my lord?"

Where did Zhang Yang think that Cheng Jia would ask so directly? Unable to answer in a hurry, he shied away and said, "This is not something I can call the shots!"

Cheng Jia nodded and said: "Yes, General Ming has to obey Yuan Benchu's orders, but in my humble opinion, for other things, although General Ming can follow Yuan Benchu's orders, only this matter, generals must not follow Yuan Benchu's orders. order."

Zhang Yang said, "Really?"

Cheng Jia said: "General Ming, what I said just now, did the general forget? If the general is willing to be slaughtered, if he is willing to let him go out of Hanoi, and he is willing to hang his hands, then the original order, the general, please obey. Yes! But if the general still has great ambitions and still wants to protect Hanoi and make himself proud, then if this place orders the general to obstruct our army from taking Henan Yin, the general will not be able to follow.”

"Impossible?"

Cheng Jia said: "For example, if two tigers are fighting each other, if General Ming rashly participates in it, it will not only be unprofitable, but will inevitably suffer harm, but like General Ming who does not move, but just sits and watches, it will not only harm the general,

Dear, this chapter is not over, there is another page ^0^ And because the situation in Hanoi is very important, the general will definitely become the target of the two tigers competing to win over. By then, will the general still worry about Hanoi's failure to save his own life? Is it dangerous? "

After he finished speaking, Cheng Jia didn't look at Zhang Yang's reaction. He bowed down to the ground and said, "I'll say this, farewell!" Turned around and left the hall, walked through the courtyard in front of the hall, and walked away without looking back or going. Seeing Zhang Yang sitting in the hall in amazement, watching him leave.

After bypassing the shadow wall and exiting the gate of the county house, the servants waiting outside greeted Cheng Jia. After a distance from Huan Biao in front of the mansion, the servant asked about Cheng Jia's conversation with Zhang Yang in the hall, and became worried. One of them said, "Jun Cheng, are we leaving now?"

Cheng Jia said, "Yes."

"However, Jun has not yet received an answer from General Zhang. If he finally obeyed Yuan Shao's orders when General Xu attacked Henan Yin and sent troops to obstruct him, what should he do? How should Jun explain to Zhendong?"

Cheng Jia smiled and said, "Zhang Yang is not a mediocre person. I have said everything that he should say. He will know exactly how to choose."

Another one of the officials said, "But Liu Fujun reminded you that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Zhang Mengzhuo is now in Hanoi, will he make trouble?"

Cheng Jia said disapprovingly: "Liu Fujun's remarks are overly thoughtful, and it's not enough to care about."

"How do you say this?"

Cheng Jia said disdainfully: "Zhang Miao can't even keep his Chen Liu, so he can be said to be an incompetent man. If he lost his family's dog, he is now living in Hanoi, and Zhang Yang respects him, just to take advantage of his fame and enhance his own power, and to use It's just trying to compete against Yuan Benchu. If you want to say whether he will listen to Zhang Miao's words and obey him? It must not be! It concerns his own vital interests, and even if Zhang Miao really persuades him, he will definitely not listen.  … ...and if Zhang Miao and Yuan Benchu ​​don't deal with it, they won't necessarily speak for Yuan Benchu."

A few days later, when he returned to Yingchuan, Cheng Jia completed his mission and did not stay any longer. As he always did, he said goodbye to Liu Bei, Xu Rong, Han Ji, etc., and returned to Tan County to return to Xunzhen.

However, when Cheng Jia returned to Tan County, he had been away from Yingchuan for many days. According to Liu Bei's suggestion, Xu Rong sent the envoy to Huayin again to see Duan Yu, but he still did not return. Xu Rong didn't know if something happened, so he couldn't help worrying, so he sent officials to Huayin to inquire.

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
