"Have you checked it out?"

"Reporting to my lord, I found out that it was the enemy's spies who infiltrated the common people and instigated the people to fight against our army. It was also the black hand of the enemy's spies, some bewitched civilians then did it."

"Have you caught the murderer?"

"Here, the three spies ran away. The people who were instigated took the initiative to cover them, and even created chaos, and took the initiative to attack our soldiers. The situation was chaotic at that time. After the soldiers subdued these people, the spies disappeared."

After listening to his subordinate's report, Chen Feng nodded. It's not surprising that Liu Bei dispatched secret agents to infiltrate the common people.However, Liu Bei was so cunning that he actually encouraged the people to fight against the Northern Frontier Army, which made Chen Feng unacceptable.

"It is the law of heaven to pay debts and kill people. The soldiers under my command are all heroes who have gone to the grasslands and killed the barbarians. Now they are tired of my orders and lost their lives here.

As their lord, I shall uphold justice for them.Come, give me an order to select all the enemy spies who have infiltrated the common people. Once they are found out, they will be killed immediately.

However, anyone who acts as a cover for the enemy's spies or colludes with the enemy will be regarded as a traitor and will be killed without mercy.I, Chen Feng, have a great reputation in the north, so I should bring it to the south. "

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Chen Feng's eyes. Originally, he wanted to use palliative means to persuade the people in Xinye, but he didn't want Liu Bei to be so good at taking advantage of loopholes.

"Slow down, my lord, I'm afraid this move is inappropriate. Liu Bei is treacherous, and sent secret agents to infiltrate the people to stir up the people. Isn't it just to anger the lord and intensify the conflict between our army and the local people.

If the lord did this, wouldn't he have fallen into the opponent's trap.Besides, those people who were encouraged must not understand the key point. If all the lords are killed, it may be very unfavorable for our army to occupy Xinye. "

Both Pang Tong and Mu Fu felt that their lord was a little impulsive. After they glanced at each other, Pang Tong quickly persuaded them. After all, now is the best time to occupy Xinye and attack the Jingzhou army. Any order from Chen Feng will affect the whole country. war situation.

"That being said, should the lives of our soldiers be so despicable?"

"Of course not, my lord, my subordinates have a better way. I will definitely tell Liu Bei to shoot himself in the foot, and let him eat Coptis chinensis dumb. He can't tell the pain."

Hearing the looseness in Chen Feng's tone, Pang Tong quickly persuaded him.Chen Feng's biggest advantage is that he can listen to persuasion, so Pang Tong and Mu Fu dared to speak at this juncture.

Glancing at the two young counselors under his command, Chen Feng nodded. It might be good to leave this matter to these two young men.

"Hey, that's all, you must deal with it well, and don't let the soldiers feel cold. By the way, when will Wen He arrive? I always feel uneasy without him in this battle going south."

In the previous series of wars, Jia Xu has not been able to participate in the military and people's livelihood in Xiliang, Hetao, Sanfu and other places because of his health and because he had to sit in Chang'an to be in charge of the military and people's livelihood in Xiliang, Hetao, Sanfu and other places.

In addition, Chen Feng acted according to the plan left by Li Ru at that time, so he had to separate from Jia Xu, so as not to be taken seriously by Cao Cao, so it had an unexpected effect.

Now that Cao Cao is gone, there is no one who can really make Chen Feng fearful.But in the southward battle, Chen Feng had to face the combination of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and he was always a little uneasy.

At this time, it is natural to need your own mastermind by your side. Pang Tong and Mufu are really smart, and Lu Xun who stayed in Xuzhou, they are all excellent, but compared to Jia Xu, they are not as good as they are.

"According to the itinerary, the military division should be arriving in Wancheng soon. If it rains heavily today and the roads are impassable, the military division may arrive a few days later than originally planned."

Mu Fu replied quickly, they all understood Jia Xu's position in Chen Feng's heart, and also understood that their lord asked about Jia Xu's news at this time, more because they couldn't really be alone.

"Send more scouts to keep an eye on the enemy, you two will have to work harder."

"How dare you speak bitterly about what you are doing..."

A day later, those people who participated in the riot after being interrogated by Pang Tong and Mu Fu were all released. As for those secret workers, they received special preferential treatment from the two.

Those people who were released told their relatives and friends about their experiences in the first time, and also explained to them how they were bewitched and used by Liu Bei, and finally used as a tool to provoke the Northern Xinjiang Army.

Fortunately, Hussar General Chen Feng was kind and wise, and was not deceived by Liu Bei's little trick, so they could come back safe and sound.

In addition to these common people, there are many more people who promote Liu Bei's insidiousness, cunning, hypocrisy, and praise Chen Feng's benevolence and kindness at the same time. As a result, Liu Bei's reputation has gradually become bad.

Ever since, the people in Xinye who were intercepted were discussing every day who is the master of Chen Feng and Liu Bei, and who is the real unparalleled benevolence and righteousness.

Some vacillating civilians voluntarily surrendered to the Northern Frontier Army, and then reported on the secret operations of the enemy army hiding around them. As a result, many secret operations were uncovered, and Chen Feng rewarded those civilians for their meritorious deeds.

The reputation of General Hussars as unparalleled in kindness and clear in rewards and punishments gradually spread.

Chapter 742

At the north gate of Wancheng, a group of elite ghost-faced soldiers escorted a carriage into the city gate. This is Jia Xu's convoy. Due to a delay on the road, they only arrived at Wancheng now, two days later than originally planned.

Jia Xu could understand why Chen Feng was in such a hurry to summon him to the south. He was afraid of arousing Cao Cao's suspicion and attention, and he wanted to keep him in Chang'an, so Chen Feng had to put aside such a schemer as him.

In addition, Li Ru planned for a long time for the war in the north. Chen Feng and Jia Xu were both chess players who manipulated the game, so they had to move east and west at the same time.

Now, Chen Feng not only has to face Liu Bei and his Jingzhou Army, but if the battle goes well, Jiangdong Sun Quan is very likely to join the battle.

At the beginning, Chen Feng was worried that he would encounter the cooperation of Jingzhou Army and Jiangdong Army, so he wrote to Jia Xu many times, asking him to pay more attention to the situation in Jiangdong.

In fact, Chen Feng's worries were not wrong.Since Liu Bei took Jingzhou, he sent people to Jiangdong many times to make contact. His mastermind, Zhuge Liang, even recruited many aristocratic families in Jiangdong.

What surprised Jia Xu the most was that Liu Bei actually proposed marriage to Sun Quan and wanted to marry Sun Quan's younger sister. I am afraid that Liu Bei's thick skin can do such a messy matter. You know, Sun Quan's younger sister is a year younger than him. round.

These things seem absurd, but Jia Xu can smell a hint of danger from them.If the Beijiang army goes south strongly, it will inevitably lead to Sun Liu joining forces, and this will plunge the Beijiang army into the quagmire of war.

Therefore, he, Jia Xu, had to go south and go to the front line in person to be responsible for all the intelligence work.After being delayed on the road for two days, Jia Xu felt a little uneasy. He always felt that something was going to happen.

"My God, I don't know when the rain will stop."

Looking at the sky outside, Jia Xu had a wry smile on his face. It had been raining for days and the roads were muddy. It was impossible for him to speed up, and roads were even washed away by mudslides in many places.

"Heavy rain is pouring, heavy rain is pouring, this rain seems a bit unusual..."

In the bedroom, Jia Xu looked at the sky outside the window, and gradually fell into deep thought. The soldiers of the ghost-faced army outside the house strictly guarded their posts, and Chen Feng explained that their task was to protect Jia Xu every step of the way.

"Not good, water and fire are ruthless, the lord is in trouble, come, come quickly."

Suddenly, there was an exclamation in the house, and Jia Xu ran out of the house in a hurry, and then ordered the Ghost Mask Army to send an urgent letter to the front line immediately, as if something big was about to happen.

No one can understand Jia Xu's behavior, and no one can guess what he sensed.

In the northern part of Xinye, the army led by Zhang Liao was still besieging Guan Yu's camp. In these days of fighting, the northern border army led by Zhang Liao attacked against the rain, and the morale of the enemy troops plummeted.

Guan Yu originally had [-] soldiers and horses, but as the battle progressed, he realized that a larger number does not necessarily mean an advantage. After losing more than a thousand soldiers, he began to shrink his defense line, as if he was waiting for something.

"Report, report, I am a personal soldier under the lord's account, and the military commander ordered me to send a letter to General Zhang Liao..."

In the evening, two ghost-faced army soldiers covered in mud rushed to the camp gate of Zhang Liao's camp. They happened to meet Yan Cheng who was inspecting the house. Soon, the news that Jia Xu wanted them to bring reached Zhang Liao and Yan Cheng.

"Damn it, how dare Liu Bei do this, isn't he afraid of being punished by heaven?"

Inside the big tent, Zhang Liao was extremely angry. If Jia Xu's guess was true, then Liu Bei could really be described as an unforgivable crime, but now, Zhang Liao only cared about Chen Feng's safety.

"Guan Yu's army is blocking our army's supply road, and we can only move forward if we deal with them first. Come here, and quickly send someone to send a message to the lord, asking them to pay attention."

After some thought, Zhang Liao knew that his responsibility now was to defend the northern part of Xinye. If his lord suffered a failure ahead, then this was the only way to retreat.

"Commander, my subordinates believe that our army should immediately build rafts and bamboo rafts in case of emergencies."

Yan Cheng seemed to have thought of something, so he quickly persuaded him that after so many days of heavy rain, the water in many rivers has skyrocketed, and some places may even burst their embankments.

"Okay, General Yan, go and handle this matter quickly, and act quickly."
