Zhu Nao
Chapter 126 General Tianwei
In a mansion in Lingtai County.
With his left arm around a beautiful woman and his right around a girl, Xu Datou sat on a bench in the tiger skin shop, with a group of women sitting around his feet.On the table in front of everyone were several plates of delicacies such as beef, mutton and pork, as well as several jugs of fine wine. Xu Datou was already drunk.
"... Those soldiers and officers and soldiers who were killed by us were shit, turned around and ran away. I led people to catch up, those who were too late to run, dropped their weapons on the spot and knelt at my feet and called grandpa, begging me to spare them Fate. Haha! It's a pity that you didn't see my majestic appearance. Otherwise, you would have to rush to call me Grandpa!"
The women looked at each other.
Xu Datou waited for a while, but no one responded, so he stared and said, "Why don't you talk?"
The women became even more silent, holding their breath and not daring to move.
Xu Datou looked annoyed, and the atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point.Finally the witty woman came to her senses and said flatteringly, "General Tianwei is really powerful."
Only then did Xu Datou smile, let go of the woman in his arms, bent over and raised the chin of the clever woman, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, easy to say. The general will let you see how powerful the general is tonight."
The woman's expression immediately froze, terrified but afraid to speak.
Xu Datou is a rebel general with four to five thousand soldiers, entrenched in Lingtai County, Jingzhou.Those in the house were all young and beautiful women he had kidnapped from nearby.Ever since he occupied the county seat, he has proclaimed himself the title of "General Tianwei", but in fact he is like a land tycoon of the locality.
Xu Datou was happy, and continued to brag, talking about how he defeated the army and civilians here, how he surrendered the bandits, and expanded the army.In fact, the woman who has been captured by him for a long time has heard him brag about it several times.After all, there are only so many glorious and mighty deeds in Xu Datou's life, of course, saying it a hundred times is not enough.
He was drinking and bragging when suddenly a soldier broke in from outside: "General Tianwei, it's not good!"
Xu Datou was disturbed by someone, and put down his glass in displeasure: "What's the matter?"
The soldiers said: "I heard that the Jingzhao Mansion has given Xie Wuji a garrison within a radius of a hundred li, and Xie's army will come soon!"
"What?!" Xu Datou couldn't help being taken aback, he was five minutes sober from the wine.
Soon.
Xu Datou hurried to another house, the house was already full of people, all of them were officers from his army.
Xu Datou patted his dazed head, and asked straight to the point: "Xie Wuji is coming to garrison? Is it true? How many people did he bring? When will he come? Where will he be stationed?"
No one can explain all of his series of questions clearly.These rebels are entrenched here, but they don't have the eyeliner in Jingzhao Mansion, so they can't know what Xie Wuji and Jingzhao Mansion are talking about.As for this news, it was spread all the way from the people here, and finally reached their ears.There are various folk rumors, and there is no one accurate statement.
"Damn!" Xu Datou was furious, "Hurry up and send someone to investigate for me! Be sure to investigate!"
All the people in the house prayed silently in their hearts: I hope this rumor is just a rumor.If this is true, their life will be difficult...
……
After a few days, Xu Datou and others finally got more news.
One is that the army in Yanzhou has already moved and is approaching Guanzhong.However, they still don't know exactly how many people were dispatched. Second, the Jingzhao Mansion has issued a notice to relocate the people to make room for Xie's army.And the place written on the notice includes Lingtai County where Xu Datou and the others are located.
In this way, the fact that Xie Wuji came to garrison here is already a certainty.
The rebel generals immediately fell into gloom.
"Those smelly and shameless dog officers!" A certain officer yelled, "How dare you transfer our territory to Xie Wuji, I'm so impatient!"
Another person said: "They want to use Xie Wuji's hand to deal with us. Since they don't want us to stay in Lingtai County, then let's simply break into Jingzhao Mansion, raid their government office, and kill those dog officials. Cut off the head and fill it with wine!"
"Well said, if we are in a hurry, we will really call!"
The rebel officers cursed and gritted their teeth at Jingzhaofu's plan to kill people with a knife.However, attacking Jingzhao Mansion was just a slap in the face. With their abilities, it was okay to defend Lingtai County, but it was not so easy to fight them out.
After scolding officials and uttering harsh words, everyone's anger was almost vented, and they began to coax.
"General Tianwei," an officer suggested, "before Xie Wuji comes, let's leave Jingzhou quickly? Find another rich place to settle down..."
Unexpectedly, Xu Datou stared at him, and said angrily: "Why should we leave? Give Xie Wuji a place?"
The officer who made the suggestion was taken aback.Does Xu Datou still want to stay and fight Xie Wuji?
It's not that Xu Datou doesn't have such thoughts.His ancestral home is from Lingtai County. After serving as a soldier for so many years, he finally had the opportunity to return to his hometown, and he became a mighty land king. Those wealthy landlords who bullied him back then had to come to kowtow to him every day.He was really reluctant to let him leave here.But it is impossible to say that he is not afraid of Xie Wuji.
Xu Datou couldn't help gnashing his teeth, hesitating.
There are a group of people in the army who were promoted by Xu Datou from his hometown, and they don't want to leave their hometown.Seeing Xu Datou hesitated, he quickly said: "General Tianwei, so what if Xie Wuji is famous, we really don't need to be afraid of him. We are locals, and we are very familiar with the terrain of Jingzhou. How much do you understand? As long as we guard the pass and ambush them, won’t we be able to drive them away?”
Someone objected: "Xie Wuji has an army of [-], how can we be their opponents!"
The man said: "3 is his total force. It is impossible for him to bring all 4000 troops. It would be good if he could bring a few thousand. We also have [-] or [-] troops. Why are we not their opponents?"
Another person said: "Xie Wuji is famous outside, how can you underestimate him?"
The local officer said: "Isn't our General Tianwei famous? Can we underestimate him?"
The two sides couldn't argue.
Xu Datou didn't want to leave at all, so naturally he could listen to his words of support.In addition, he has been a local king for a while, and he is flattered every day. The government also sent officers and soldiers to suppress him several times. floating in the air.
Think about it too, so what if Xie Wuji is famous?I have an advantage in terms of terrain; so what if Xie Wuji has more troops, the number of troops he really brought may not be as many as him.
Xu Datou was a little timid at first, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had nothing to be afraid of.And now the world is chaotic, if he leaves Jingzhou, he can't think of any place to go.There are dangerous valleys and rivers near Jingzhou to defend. It is easier for him to defend his own territory than to grab someone else's territory, right?
After making up his mind, Xu Datou slapped the table and said: "I will not leave Lingtai County! Send someone to monitor Xie Jiajun's movements and report to me at all times. I am waiting for him here. If he dares to come, I will kill him." It is impossible to take his head!"
……
a few days later.
Two men dressed as farmers were walking on the road when one stopped suddenly.
"Look ahead, is the army coming!"
The other person hurriedly stretched his neck to look around, and saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and a large group of people approaching.
These two farmers were actually sent out by Xu Datou to inquire about the news, and they hurriedly hid in the grass by the roadside.
Soon, the army walked across the avenue in front of them.
Seeing Xie Jiajun's appearance clearly, the two spies couldn't help but look at each other, and started talking in low voices while hiding in the grass.
"This is the Xie family army?? Isn't it rumored that they have [-] lions and are invincible?? These people seem too weak??"
"Yeah, look at all of them, they're not as strong as I am. How do they win battles?"
I saw that these soldiers were all yellow and thin, hunchbacked and rickety, and their formation was scattered. They didn't look well-trained at all.Apart from wearing military uniforms, they are no different from ordinary farmers—even sicker and weaker than ordinary farmers.
But the flag they raised did have the word "Thank you" written on it, so it seemed that it was undoubtedly Xie Jiajun.
The two spies were really angry and funny.With this kind of army, how can it spread so well?Aren't they all made up to deceive people?
One person suddenly said: "Hey, look over there, isn't the one on the horse Xie Wuji? Tsk tsk, he's tall and big, but his face is uglier than our General Tianwei's."
The other person hurriedly looked in the direction the person pointed, and saw a person riding a horse from a distance, surrounded by guards.Even though the distance is far, one can see that the man's face is dark and sunken, isn't he ugly?
He couldn't help being amused: "Hahahaha, don't ugly people become generals?"
"Maybe that's true. Well, it seems that we are not so lucky!"
"puff……"
The two spies tried to figure out how many people there were in this army, but unfortunately, because the team was scattered and there were a lot of carriages and horses in the middle, they really couldn't count them.
After finally waiting for the team to finish, the two got out of the grass and looked at the team going away.
"Have you counted them? How many are there?"
"Ask me? Did you count it?"
"……No."
"Look, the line is quite long...maybe...4000 people?"
"Is four thousand a little little?"
"The five thousand?"
"Probably about..."
The two spies made a rough estimate, and quickly took a shortcut back to Lingtai County to report.
……
"Four to 5000 people?" Xu Datou heard the news sent by the spies, and muttered, "There are really not many people."
The other officers quickly asked, "Is Xie's army strong and strong?"
The two spies looked subtle: "No. Most of them are weak and weak, and the army is not neat."
"What?!" All the officers were taken aback, "How is this possible?!"
The two spies described what they had seen and heard in detail, and repeatedly assured that what they said was true.
After hearing this, the officers were all lost in confusion.
The invincible Xie family army in the legend turned out to be a group of old and weak soldiers?So how did they win the battle in the past?
Soon, everyone thought of a suitable reason.
"That's right. Xie Wuji has recruited a lot of rebels and bandits in the past two years. Those rebels and bandits fell into grass because they couldn't eat. Shouldn't they become thinner and weaker?"
"That's right. Besides, Xie Wuji raised so many people. He had heard that there was not enough food in the army. His soldiers must not have enough to eat. It was because of the lack of food that they came to Guanzhong."
"And they are constantly fighting, and there are many wounded soldiers..."
"Then what happened to their victory?"
"Then don't you understand? Xie's army has always been fighting against the rebels and bandits, a bunch of mobs, but if he knows a little bit about the art of war, it's not easy to win a battle? We have never been defeated when we fight against officers and soldiers and bandits!"
"This is also..."
When Xu Datou first rebelled, he fought with Xiang soldiers and officers and soldiers. Later, in order to grab territory, he also fought with nearby bandits and bandits several times, and they were all victorious.In fact, it's not that they are so powerful, but that their opponents are too weak.The soldiers and officers and soldiers had no morale at all, and they fled as soon as they fought; the bandits and bandits were not many in number, and their combat power was not strong, so they could win with a little bit of skill, they speculated on their own terms—oh, Isn't Xie Wuji's reputation as the ever-victorious general just a false name!
The more Xu Datou thought about it, the more confident he became, and he said happily: "Quickly, send someone to investigate and see how much they advance every day. If you are sure that what these two people said is true, immediately inform the whole army of the news to boost the morale of the brothers!" "
Recently, the army knew that they might have to fight Xie's army, and the hearts of the people were very turbulent.But if you know that Xie Jiajun is not worthy of the name, and not as good as them, you don't have to worry about morale!
Xu Datou thought that if he could defeat Xie Wuji, would he still be famous all over the world?He didn't want the title of General Tianwei anymore, he simply proclaimed himself a Heavenly General, and he wanted to erect a monument and build a temple in the county for future generations to enshrine...
Beautiful, beautiful!
=====
Two flowers bloom, one branch each.
At this moment, Xie Wuji had just brought his army to station near a mountain forest, and the scouts he sent out to inquire about the news came back.
"General, the spies are here to report!"
Xie Wuji laid out the thatch for sleeping at night, and said: "Call."
The spies came over soon: "General, I have found out the number of enemy generals and enemy troops."
Xie Wuji said: "Say."
The spies said: "The enemy general's name is Xu Datou, a native of Lingtai County, Jingzhou. He was rebelled into the army at the age of 15 for raping a woman. He served in the army for 3000 years and served as a deputy lieutenant in the Zhangyi garrison. Lacking food and collapsing, Xu Datou led more than a thousand people back to Lingtai County, occupied the county government office, drove away the soldiers, and proclaimed himself General Tianwei. Now he has expanded the rebel army to more than [-] by recruiting bandits and recruiting civilians. "
He added: "Lingtai County has now learned that our army is approaching. Some stragglers have fled. Xu Datou is still in Lingtai County and is continuing to recruit civilians to fight against our army."
Xie Wuji nodded, noncommittal.
When the spies reported, Cheng Jingzhe was standing beside Xie Wuji.
Xie Wuji kept his promise, and after bringing Cheng Jingzhe back to the army, he took Cheng Jingzhe by his side most of the time except for some secret matters.He didn't specifically teach Cheng Jingzhe, everything was up to Cheng Jingzhe himself to understand, what he understood was man-made, and if he couldn't understand it, it had nothing to do with him.
And in just a few days, Cheng Jingzhe has actually benefited a lot.
When he returned to the army with Xie Wuji, although the time was very tight, Xie Wuji did not dispatch the army immediately, the first thing he did was to send several scouts out to find out the news.Then he allocated a few battalions of troops and let those battalions set off first.
When Cheng Jingzhe saw the vanguards selected by Xie Wuji, he was also a little surprised - this group of troops was weak and mentally weak, and they were very different from the well-trained soldiers of the other battalions.After asking, it turns out that this team is the rebel army that Xie Wuji just recruited two months ago, and they haven't trained much at all.
Xie Wuji sent these battalions ahead, and the total number of these battalions was only about 500 people. The reason why Xu Datou's spies regarded them as three to 4000 people was because Xie Wuji deliberately asked this team to bring a lot of luggage and horses. , making the team appear larger.In addition, Xie Wuji ordered them to add cooking stoves every night when they were stationed, which was also a way to confuse the enemy army and make them look crowded.
This frail army marched to Guanzhong for a day on the main road, while Xie Wuji himself led the army to approach Jingzhou quietly from a remote and difficult path.
After the spies reported all the information they found, Xie Wuji said: "Thanks for your hard work." Then he said: "Go and investigate again and find out where they want to deploy their defenses to stop our army."
The spy said: "Yes!" Then he left.
After the spies left, Xie Wuji turned around and glanced at Cheng Jingzhe.Cheng Jingzhe also laid out a straw mat for sleeping at night, sat on the straw mat and gnawed on the cake.Xie Wuji didn't say anything, and continued to pack his things.
After a while, Wu Cong came again.
"General," Wu Conghui reported, "the entire army has rested, and the patrol team has been properly arranged."
Xie Wuji nodded: "Okay."
After Wu Cong finished his report, he turned his head and saw Cheng Jingzhe sitting on the side eating hard fried pancakes, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "You can get used to it."
When Cheng Jingzhe first arrived, Wu Cong thought he was a delicate attendant next to a noble official.You must know that the attendants around high-ranking officials are often of good backgrounds. After all, if you work next to high-ranking officials, you will always have the opportunity to make a fortune.On weekdays, there is no chance to suffer.So Wu Cong thought Cheng Jingzhe would cry for his father and mother in a few days.
You must know that life in the army is very difficult.Especially in the past few days, in order to hide their whereabouts, they have been walking the rugged paths in the barren mountains and mountains, and they do not set up camp at night, but sleep on the ground.Diet can not afford a stove, drink cold water, eat cold food.However, Cheng Jingzhe got used to everything.This made Wu Cong look at him with admiration.
Cheng Jingzhe swallowed a mouthful of the hard-to-chew fried pancakes, and said calmly: "I used to be a refugee from a disaster, and I have lived a life worse than this."
"Huh?" Wu Cong was taken aback, "Are you a disaster victim?"
So, Jing Zhe's background is not high?Then he works beside "Jia Yizhen" and looks highly regarded by "Jia Yizhen". Could it be that "Jia Yizhen"'s official position is not very high?
Wu Cong couldn't help but said: "Your son has already entered Sichuan. What is his identity, should you tell me?"
When Jing Zhe first came back with them, she still refused to reveal her master's identity, as if she was afraid that they would send someone to hunt him down.However, after so many days, no matter who the young master is, he has returned to his territory.Jing Zhe has no reason to hide anymore.
Xie Wuji also turned his attention to Cheng Jingzhe when he heard Wu Cong's question.When Jing Zhe knew his identity, he didn't show any surprise, instead he had an expression of "as expected", which he remembered till now.
Jing Zhe swallowed another mouthful of fried pancakes, because he was choked, he quickly unscrewed the water bag and took a few mouthfuls of cold water, finally swallowing the stuff from his throat, he let out a long sigh of relief.Then, with two expectant eyes, he said unhurriedly: "My son is the Governor of Chengdu."
Xie Wuji: "..."
Wu Cong: "........."
Wu Cong thought that Jingzhe was joking, and stared at him for a long time, but Cheng Jingzhe never changed his mind.Wu Cong's expression changed suddenly: "Chengdu governor??? Zhu Nao????" The last two words broke the sound.
Jing Zhe said with a straight face: "Don't call my young master by his name directly."
Wu Cong: "!!!"
He still can't believe it.Zhu Nao's personal appearance and Xie Wuji's personal appearance are totally different things.Xie Wuji rode his horse back and forth, but only a few days.Zhu Nao had to cross a Daba mountain when he left Shu.Moreover, Xie Wuji was forced to be helpless and could not afford to make mistakes, so he had no choice but to come forward.Zhu Nao is in charge of a vast land of abundance, living a leisurely and rich life, yet he dares to risk himself!This, this, this is incredible!
Xie Wuji has already believed it.With complicated eyes, he was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said in a low voice, "It's worthy of the name..."
Chapter 127 Zhu Nao smiled and said: "As long as there is business to do, I must not let me miss it."
Xie Wuji in this room was eating pancakes that were as hard as wax paper, while spring was already blooming in Chengdu Mansion in that room.
……
With the arrival of early spring and the warmer weather, farmers who have rested for a winter are gradually returning to work in the fields.
Every spring is the time for the government to count the population and arable land, and to prepare for the taxation in summer and autumn, so things in the government gradually increase.
Xu Yu finished approving a stack of official documents, rubbed her stiff neck, and turned her head to look out the window.Today's weather is very good, the sun is shining, the flowers in the yard have already bloomed, and they are yellow and pink, which is really beautiful.However, Xu Yu's mood was not as clear as the weather.
As long as Zhu Nao doesn't come back for a day, his heart will be hanging on for a day.What if Zhu Nao is in danger in Jingzhao Mansion?What if I can't come back?The people's livelihood in Shuzhong has just started to improve, and a lot of things are still waiting!Alas, if I knew that I should have tried my best to dissuade Zhu Nao from taking that risk...
While he was worried, an official rushed in: "Young Yin, Fu Yin, he is back, he is back!"
Xu Yu was taken aback for a moment, his brows were beaming with joy, and he hurriedly greeted him out in person.
Sure enough, Zhu Nao had already entered the gate of the official residence and was walking in.The two met in the middle of the road, and Xu Yu went up excitedly: "Fu Yin, you are back! Is the journey going smoothly?"
"Successful." Zhu Nao asked, "How is the Chengdu Mansion in the past two months? Is it still peaceful?"
Xu Yu followed Zhu Nao and walked in: "Winter is quite peaceful, and these days have begun to get busy. Everyone is making books and fields, and there have been some small lawsuits, but nothing major happened." Some things that happened were roughly reported to Zhu Nao, and only later did he realize that there was no one beside Zhu Nao, so he quickly asked, "Hey, Fu Yin, where did Jing Zhe go?"
"Jingzhe?" Zhu Nao said, "He went back with Xie Wuji."
Xu Yu: "..." Who? ?Who did you go back with? ? ?
Zhu Nao laughed and said: "I went to Jingzhao Mansion this time, I settled the matter with Jingzhao Mansion, and also formed an alliance with Xie Wuji by the way. So I let Jing Zhe go to Xie's army to practice."
Xu Yu: "!!!"
……
……
After a while, Xu Yu listened to Zhu Nao's general account of what happened in Guanzhong, and also figured out the conditions for Zhu Nao to talk with Jingzhaofu and Xie Wuji.Can't help but feel deeply.
In this way, Zhu Nao really did not make this trip in vain.He settled the Jingzhao Mansion again, and won over Xie Jiajun, so he didn't have to worry about the passage out of Shu, and even the cultivation of generals was settled.Moreover, Shu merchants also got a lot of opportunities. You must know that once the road in Guanzhong is connected, Shu merchants will be able to go to all directions to operate in Shu in the future, which saves a lot of management fees.This is really a good thing that kills three birds with one stone!
After Xu Yu finished feeling, he quickly said: "By the way, Fu Yin, speaking of Xie Wuji, I happen to have something to report to Fu Yin."
Zhu Nao asked, "What's the matter?"
Xu Yu said: "Not long ago, the Wanzhou government reported an incident, saying that a few people were intercepted at the ferry in Wanzhou. Those people lost the certificate for customs clearance, so they were detained by the government. It should be the Xie family from Huizhou, they came to Wanzhou by water, and they wanted to borrow the way from Wanzhou to go north to find Xie Wuji."
Zhu Nao didn't expect this kind of thing to happen when he was away, and suddenly became interested: "Thank you family? Go from Huizhou to Yanzhou, and use Wanzhou as an excuse?" This road is not impossible, but the circle is really not small .
Xu Yu said: "Yes. According to them, they traveled from Wanzhou because Shu is peaceful, there is no war, and there are few bandits. If they go directly north, they are worried that they will be disturbed by bandits along the way."
This statement is actually reasonable.The road is a bit detoured, but it is indeed the safest road in this year.As for whether those people have other ideas about detours from the middle of Shu, only they know.
Zhu Nao asked, "Are you sure they are the Xie family?"
Xu Yu nodded: "There should be no problem after the investigation." Those people were only detained because they lacked a certificate when they passed by, and they were not deceived, and they couldn't commit false identities.
Zhu Nao said, "Oh... where is he? Are you gone?"
Xu Yu's face was still calm, but his tone could not help revealing some small pride in asking for credit: "No. After the Wanzhou government reported the matter, because the governor was not there that day, I could only make my own decisions. I asked the Wanzhou government to send those People have been sent to the Chengdu Mansion, and they have been making excuses not to give them approval. Now those Xie family members are still detained in the city, waiting for the Governor to come back and release them."
Zhu Nao raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but nodded in praise: "Very good. You have a heart."
Xu Yu was praised by Zhu Nao.A smile appeared on his face.
The reason why he detained those Xie family members was not because he had any enmity with the Xie family members in Huizhou. He did this for the sake of Zhu Nao and Shuzhong.
The Xie family in Huizhou is a big wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River.Many of the Xie family's children are officials in the capital, and they are also powerful in various places. For example, Xie Wuji is a big face of the Xie family.And those Xie family children are also going to find Xie Wuji this time.
Xu Yu asked the officials to ask them the purpose of going to Xie Wuji, but those people only said that they were visiting relatives, and refused to say anything else.Of course Xu Yu didn't believe that their purpose would be so simple.
In fact, since they don't say it, it's not hard to guess.Now that the imperial court is delegating power, people from all walks of life are seizing power.In some places, officials sit on the throne, in some places, local tyrants sit on the throne, and in some places, officials and tyrants collude with each other.Since the Xie family is a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, they will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to develop vigorously.They went north to look for Xie Wuji, either they planned to support Xie Wuji's development in the north, or they planned to let Xie Wuji go back to the south to support their development.
You must know that Jiangnan is very rich, and the Xie family is even richer in Jiangnan.Isn't Xie Wuji short of food in the army?If he went home to ask for land and food, let alone 3 people, even if there were 2 more people, he would not be afraid of starvation.The reason why he is living a hard life now is only because the distance from Huizhou to Yanzhou is long and it is difficult to transport food.
And it would definitely not be a good thing for Zhu Nao that the Xie family and Xie Wuji got online.
If Zhu Nao and Xie Wuji are enemies, the Huizhou Xie family will give Xie Wuji support, which will make Zhu Nao's enemy stronger; even if Zhu Nao and Xie Wuji are an alliance, the Huizhou Xie family will intervene, and this alliance will become precarious—— ——With the help of his own family, Xie Wuji still needs Zhu Nao?He joined hands with the Shu people just to make the best of the situation, how can there be any trust?
That's why Xu Yu detained people with excuses, not wanting them to go north.Moreover, Xu Yu deliberately handled this matter in a low-key manner without letting a few people know.In this way, if Zhu Nao intends to get rid of these Xie family members, he will be able to hide it without anyone noticing, and he is not afraid that it will be heard by the Xie family and Xie Wuji.
Don't ask to completely sever the connection between Xie's family and Xie Wuji, at least delay some time, delay some things, it will be beneficial to Zhu Nao, right?
Xu Yu asked: "Fu Yin, what should we do with those people?"
Zhu Nao didn't say anything immediately, just looked at Xu Yu and smiled gently.
Xu Yu was puzzled: "Fu Yin?"
Zhu Nao spoke, still a compliment: "You did a good job, I will remember this achievement."
Xu Yu was taken aback, feeling something was wrong.
Zhu Nao said calmly, "Prepare a few luxurious chariots, and send a team of officers and soldiers to escort them northward, and go to Guanzhong to find Xie Wuji."
Xu Yu was completely stunned.
He couldn't believe Junao's decision would be like this.Do nothing, just send people away like this?
He hesitated to speak for a long time, but finally couldn't help but said: "Doesn't Fu Yin even interrogate them?" At least knowing what their intentions are when they go to Xie Wuji, Zhu Nao can make corresponding preparations, right?
Zhu Nao said, "Didn't you already have an interrogation?"
Xu Yu was silent.After all, it was the Xie family in Huizhou. He didn't dare to go too far without Zhu Nao's instruction.He sent people to ask directly, and also asked around, but unfortunately they couldn't find anything.If they really want to use means to interrogate... But even if they ask something, they can't be sure whether what those people said is true or not.Probably because of this, Junao simply saved him the trouble of asking.
But, they really do nothing?Could it be that it was superfluous for him to detain him?
Zhu Nao seemed to see through Xu Yu's loss, and said, "Xu Shaoyin, it's definitely not your meddling. It's great to detain them. It's also very convenient for me."
Xu Yu stared at Zhu Nao blankly.convenient?
Zhu Nao said: "Arrange some articulate people to take care of those Xie family children along the way, and ask them about Jiangnan's affairs."
He added: "Ask them about other businesses in Huizhou besides land property. Those businesses are the most profitable. Also, what do the people in Huizhou like and what are they lacking? What specialties and minerals are there... Oh, and, don’t forget about water transportation! Jiangnan’s shipbuilding is the best, ask them who controls the shipbuilding industry now, and whether they can get in touch..."
Xu Yu: "..."
He is most concerned and thinks that the most important thing is why Xie's family is looking for Xie Wuji.But I didn't expect that Zhu Nao didn't mention this from the beginning to the end.Is it because Jun Nao has already guessed the purpose of the Xie family?Or is he sure that no matter what the Xie family's purpose is, it will not harm him?
Either way, Xu Yu couldn't say anything to refute.
He said blankly, "Then I...will arrange it now?"
"No rush." Zhu Nao said, "Let me think about it carefully and make a list for you."
Xu Yu: "..."
Zhu Nao said with a smile: "As long as there is business to do, I must not let me miss it."
Xu Yu: "..."
With his left arm around a beautiful woman and his right around a girl, Xu Datou sat on a bench in the tiger skin shop, with a group of women sitting around his feet.On the table in front of everyone were several plates of delicacies such as beef, mutton and pork, as well as several jugs of fine wine. Xu Datou was already drunk.
"... Those soldiers and officers and soldiers who were killed by us were shit, turned around and ran away. I led people to catch up, those who were too late to run, dropped their weapons on the spot and knelt at my feet and called grandpa, begging me to spare them Fate. Haha! It's a pity that you didn't see my majestic appearance. Otherwise, you would have to rush to call me Grandpa!"
The women looked at each other.
Xu Datou waited for a while, but no one responded, so he stared and said, "Why don't you talk?"
The women became even more silent, holding their breath and not daring to move.
Xu Datou looked annoyed, and the atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point.Finally the witty woman came to her senses and said flatteringly, "General Tianwei is really powerful."
Only then did Xu Datou smile, let go of the woman in his arms, bent over and raised the chin of the clever woman, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, easy to say. The general will let you see how powerful the general is tonight."
The woman's expression immediately froze, terrified but afraid to speak.
Xu Datou is a rebel general with four to five thousand soldiers, entrenched in Lingtai County, Jingzhou.Those in the house were all young and beautiful women he had kidnapped from nearby.Ever since he occupied the county seat, he has proclaimed himself the title of "General Tianwei", but in fact he is like a land tycoon of the locality.
Xu Datou was happy, and continued to brag, talking about how he defeated the army and civilians here, how he surrendered the bandits, and expanded the army.In fact, the woman who has been captured by him for a long time has heard him brag about it several times.After all, there are only so many glorious and mighty deeds in Xu Datou's life, of course, saying it a hundred times is not enough.
He was drinking and bragging when suddenly a soldier broke in from outside: "General Tianwei, it's not good!"
Xu Datou was disturbed by someone, and put down his glass in displeasure: "What's the matter?"
The soldiers said: "I heard that the Jingzhao Mansion has given Xie Wuji a garrison within a radius of a hundred li, and Xie's army will come soon!"
"What?!" Xu Datou couldn't help being taken aback, he was five minutes sober from the wine.
Soon.
Xu Datou hurried to another house, the house was already full of people, all of them were officers from his army.
Xu Datou patted his dazed head, and asked straight to the point: "Xie Wuji is coming to garrison? Is it true? How many people did he bring? When will he come? Where will he be stationed?"
No one can explain all of his series of questions clearly.These rebels are entrenched here, but they don't have the eyeliner in Jingzhao Mansion, so they can't know what Xie Wuji and Jingzhao Mansion are talking about.As for this news, it was spread all the way from the people here, and finally reached their ears.There are various folk rumors, and there is no one accurate statement.
"Damn!" Xu Datou was furious, "Hurry up and send someone to investigate for me! Be sure to investigate!"
All the people in the house prayed silently in their hearts: I hope this rumor is just a rumor.If this is true, their life will be difficult...
……
After a few days, Xu Datou and others finally got more news.
One is that the army in Yanzhou has already moved and is approaching Guanzhong.However, they still don't know exactly how many people were dispatched. Second, the Jingzhao Mansion has issued a notice to relocate the people to make room for Xie's army.And the place written on the notice includes Lingtai County where Xu Datou and the others are located.
In this way, the fact that Xie Wuji came to garrison here is already a certainty.
The rebel generals immediately fell into gloom.
"Those smelly and shameless dog officers!" A certain officer yelled, "How dare you transfer our territory to Xie Wuji, I'm so impatient!"
Another person said: "They want to use Xie Wuji's hand to deal with us. Since they don't want us to stay in Lingtai County, then let's simply break into Jingzhao Mansion, raid their government office, and kill those dog officials. Cut off the head and fill it with wine!"
"Well said, if we are in a hurry, we will really call!"
The rebel officers cursed and gritted their teeth at Jingzhaofu's plan to kill people with a knife.However, attacking Jingzhao Mansion was just a slap in the face. With their abilities, it was okay to defend Lingtai County, but it was not so easy to fight them out.
After scolding officials and uttering harsh words, everyone's anger was almost vented, and they began to coax.
"General Tianwei," an officer suggested, "before Xie Wuji comes, let's leave Jingzhou quickly? Find another rich place to settle down..."
Unexpectedly, Xu Datou stared at him, and said angrily: "Why should we leave? Give Xie Wuji a place?"
The officer who made the suggestion was taken aback.Does Xu Datou still want to stay and fight Xie Wuji?
It's not that Xu Datou doesn't have such thoughts.His ancestral home is from Lingtai County. After serving as a soldier for so many years, he finally had the opportunity to return to his hometown, and he became a mighty land king. Those wealthy landlords who bullied him back then had to come to kowtow to him every day.He was really reluctant to let him leave here.But it is impossible to say that he is not afraid of Xie Wuji.
Xu Datou couldn't help gnashing his teeth, hesitating.
There are a group of people in the army who were promoted by Xu Datou from his hometown, and they don't want to leave their hometown.Seeing Xu Datou hesitated, he quickly said: "General Tianwei, so what if Xie Wuji is famous, we really don't need to be afraid of him. We are locals, and we are very familiar with the terrain of Jingzhou. How much do you understand? As long as we guard the pass and ambush them, won’t we be able to drive them away?”
Someone objected: "Xie Wuji has an army of [-], how can we be their opponents!"
The man said: "3 is his total force. It is impossible for him to bring all 4000 troops. It would be good if he could bring a few thousand. We also have [-] or [-] troops. Why are we not their opponents?"
Another person said: "Xie Wuji is famous outside, how can you underestimate him?"
The local officer said: "Isn't our General Tianwei famous? Can we underestimate him?"
The two sides couldn't argue.
Xu Datou didn't want to leave at all, so naturally he could listen to his words of support.In addition, he has been a local king for a while, and he is flattered every day. The government also sent officers and soldiers to suppress him several times. floating in the air.
Think about it too, so what if Xie Wuji is famous?I have an advantage in terms of terrain; so what if Xie Wuji has more troops, the number of troops he really brought may not be as many as him.
Xu Datou was a little timid at first, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had nothing to be afraid of.And now the world is chaotic, if he leaves Jingzhou, he can't think of any place to go.There are dangerous valleys and rivers near Jingzhou to defend. It is easier for him to defend his own territory than to grab someone else's territory, right?
After making up his mind, Xu Datou slapped the table and said: "I will not leave Lingtai County! Send someone to monitor Xie Jiajun's movements and report to me at all times. I am waiting for him here. If he dares to come, I will kill him." It is impossible to take his head!"
……
a few days later.
Two men dressed as farmers were walking on the road when one stopped suddenly.
"Look ahead, is the army coming!"
The other person hurriedly stretched his neck to look around, and saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and a large group of people approaching.
These two farmers were actually sent out by Xu Datou to inquire about the news, and they hurriedly hid in the grass by the roadside.
Soon, the army walked across the avenue in front of them.
Seeing Xie Jiajun's appearance clearly, the two spies couldn't help but look at each other, and started talking in low voices while hiding in the grass.
"This is the Xie family army?? Isn't it rumored that they have [-] lions and are invincible?? These people seem too weak??"
"Yeah, look at all of them, they're not as strong as I am. How do they win battles?"
I saw that these soldiers were all yellow and thin, hunchbacked and rickety, and their formation was scattered. They didn't look well-trained at all.Apart from wearing military uniforms, they are no different from ordinary farmers—even sicker and weaker than ordinary farmers.
But the flag they raised did have the word "Thank you" written on it, so it seemed that it was undoubtedly Xie Jiajun.
The two spies were really angry and funny.With this kind of army, how can it spread so well?Aren't they all made up to deceive people?
One person suddenly said: "Hey, look over there, isn't the one on the horse Xie Wuji? Tsk tsk, he's tall and big, but his face is uglier than our General Tianwei's."
The other person hurriedly looked in the direction the person pointed, and saw a person riding a horse from a distance, surrounded by guards.Even though the distance is far, one can see that the man's face is dark and sunken, isn't he ugly?
He couldn't help being amused: "Hahahaha, don't ugly people become generals?"
"Maybe that's true. Well, it seems that we are not so lucky!"
"puff……"
The two spies tried to figure out how many people there were in this army, but unfortunately, because the team was scattered and there were a lot of carriages and horses in the middle, they really couldn't count them.
After finally waiting for the team to finish, the two got out of the grass and looked at the team going away.
"Have you counted them? How many are there?"
"Ask me? Did you count it?"
"……No."
"Look, the line is quite long...maybe...4000 people?"
"Is four thousand a little little?"
"The five thousand?"
"Probably about..."
The two spies made a rough estimate, and quickly took a shortcut back to Lingtai County to report.
……
"Four to 5000 people?" Xu Datou heard the news sent by the spies, and muttered, "There are really not many people."
The other officers quickly asked, "Is Xie's army strong and strong?"
The two spies looked subtle: "No. Most of them are weak and weak, and the army is not neat."
"What?!" All the officers were taken aback, "How is this possible?!"
The two spies described what they had seen and heard in detail, and repeatedly assured that what they said was true.
After hearing this, the officers were all lost in confusion.
The invincible Xie family army in the legend turned out to be a group of old and weak soldiers?So how did they win the battle in the past?
Soon, everyone thought of a suitable reason.
"That's right. Xie Wuji has recruited a lot of rebels and bandits in the past two years. Those rebels and bandits fell into grass because they couldn't eat. Shouldn't they become thinner and weaker?"
"That's right. Besides, Xie Wuji raised so many people. He had heard that there was not enough food in the army. His soldiers must not have enough to eat. It was because of the lack of food that they came to Guanzhong."
"And they are constantly fighting, and there are many wounded soldiers..."
"Then what happened to their victory?"
"Then don't you understand? Xie's army has always been fighting against the rebels and bandits, a bunch of mobs, but if he knows a little bit about the art of war, it's not easy to win a battle? We have never been defeated when we fight against officers and soldiers and bandits!"
"This is also..."
When Xu Datou first rebelled, he fought with Xiang soldiers and officers and soldiers. Later, in order to grab territory, he also fought with nearby bandits and bandits several times, and they were all victorious.In fact, it's not that they are so powerful, but that their opponents are too weak.The soldiers and officers and soldiers had no morale at all, and they fled as soon as they fought; the bandits and bandits were not many in number, and their combat power was not strong, so they could win with a little bit of skill, they speculated on their own terms—oh, Isn't Xie Wuji's reputation as the ever-victorious general just a false name!
The more Xu Datou thought about it, the more confident he became, and he said happily: "Quickly, send someone to investigate and see how much they advance every day. If you are sure that what these two people said is true, immediately inform the whole army of the news to boost the morale of the brothers!" "
Recently, the army knew that they might have to fight Xie's army, and the hearts of the people were very turbulent.But if you know that Xie Jiajun is not worthy of the name, and not as good as them, you don't have to worry about morale!
Xu Datou thought that if he could defeat Xie Wuji, would he still be famous all over the world?He didn't want the title of General Tianwei anymore, he simply proclaimed himself a Heavenly General, and he wanted to erect a monument and build a temple in the county for future generations to enshrine...
Beautiful, beautiful!
=====
Two flowers bloom, one branch each.
At this moment, Xie Wuji had just brought his army to station near a mountain forest, and the scouts he sent out to inquire about the news came back.
"General, the spies are here to report!"
Xie Wuji laid out the thatch for sleeping at night, and said: "Call."
The spies came over soon: "General, I have found out the number of enemy generals and enemy troops."
Xie Wuji said: "Say."
The spies said: "The enemy general's name is Xu Datou, a native of Lingtai County, Jingzhou. He was rebelled into the army at the age of 15 for raping a woman. He served in the army for 3000 years and served as a deputy lieutenant in the Zhangyi garrison. Lacking food and collapsing, Xu Datou led more than a thousand people back to Lingtai County, occupied the county government office, drove away the soldiers, and proclaimed himself General Tianwei. Now he has expanded the rebel army to more than [-] by recruiting bandits and recruiting civilians. "
He added: "Lingtai County has now learned that our army is approaching. Some stragglers have fled. Xu Datou is still in Lingtai County and is continuing to recruit civilians to fight against our army."
Xie Wuji nodded, noncommittal.
When the spies reported, Cheng Jingzhe was standing beside Xie Wuji.
Xie Wuji kept his promise, and after bringing Cheng Jingzhe back to the army, he took Cheng Jingzhe by his side most of the time except for some secret matters.He didn't specifically teach Cheng Jingzhe, everything was up to Cheng Jingzhe himself to understand, what he understood was man-made, and if he couldn't understand it, it had nothing to do with him.
And in just a few days, Cheng Jingzhe has actually benefited a lot.
When he returned to the army with Xie Wuji, although the time was very tight, Xie Wuji did not dispatch the army immediately, the first thing he did was to send several scouts out to find out the news.Then he allocated a few battalions of troops and let those battalions set off first.
When Cheng Jingzhe saw the vanguards selected by Xie Wuji, he was also a little surprised - this group of troops was weak and mentally weak, and they were very different from the well-trained soldiers of the other battalions.After asking, it turns out that this team is the rebel army that Xie Wuji just recruited two months ago, and they haven't trained much at all.
Xie Wuji sent these battalions ahead, and the total number of these battalions was only about 500 people. The reason why Xu Datou's spies regarded them as three to 4000 people was because Xie Wuji deliberately asked this team to bring a lot of luggage and horses. , making the team appear larger.In addition, Xie Wuji ordered them to add cooking stoves every night when they were stationed, which was also a way to confuse the enemy army and make them look crowded.
This frail army marched to Guanzhong for a day on the main road, while Xie Wuji himself led the army to approach Jingzhou quietly from a remote and difficult path.
After the spies reported all the information they found, Xie Wuji said: "Thanks for your hard work." Then he said: "Go and investigate again and find out where they want to deploy their defenses to stop our army."
The spy said: "Yes!" Then he left.
After the spies left, Xie Wuji turned around and glanced at Cheng Jingzhe.Cheng Jingzhe also laid out a straw mat for sleeping at night, sat on the straw mat and gnawed on the cake.Xie Wuji didn't say anything, and continued to pack his things.
After a while, Wu Cong came again.
"General," Wu Conghui reported, "the entire army has rested, and the patrol team has been properly arranged."
Xie Wuji nodded: "Okay."
After Wu Cong finished his report, he turned his head and saw Cheng Jingzhe sitting on the side eating hard fried pancakes, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "You can get used to it."
When Cheng Jingzhe first arrived, Wu Cong thought he was a delicate attendant next to a noble official.You must know that the attendants around high-ranking officials are often of good backgrounds. After all, if you work next to high-ranking officials, you will always have the opportunity to make a fortune.On weekdays, there is no chance to suffer.So Wu Cong thought Cheng Jingzhe would cry for his father and mother in a few days.
You must know that life in the army is very difficult.Especially in the past few days, in order to hide their whereabouts, they have been walking the rugged paths in the barren mountains and mountains, and they do not set up camp at night, but sleep on the ground.Diet can not afford a stove, drink cold water, eat cold food.However, Cheng Jingzhe got used to everything.This made Wu Cong look at him with admiration.
Cheng Jingzhe swallowed a mouthful of the hard-to-chew fried pancakes, and said calmly: "I used to be a refugee from a disaster, and I have lived a life worse than this."
"Huh?" Wu Cong was taken aback, "Are you a disaster victim?"
So, Jing Zhe's background is not high?Then he works beside "Jia Yizhen" and looks highly regarded by "Jia Yizhen". Could it be that "Jia Yizhen"'s official position is not very high?
Wu Cong couldn't help but said: "Your son has already entered Sichuan. What is his identity, should you tell me?"
When Jing Zhe first came back with them, she still refused to reveal her master's identity, as if she was afraid that they would send someone to hunt him down.However, after so many days, no matter who the young master is, he has returned to his territory.Jing Zhe has no reason to hide anymore.
Xie Wuji also turned his attention to Cheng Jingzhe when he heard Wu Cong's question.When Jing Zhe knew his identity, he didn't show any surprise, instead he had an expression of "as expected", which he remembered till now.
Jing Zhe swallowed another mouthful of fried pancakes, because he was choked, he quickly unscrewed the water bag and took a few mouthfuls of cold water, finally swallowing the stuff from his throat, he let out a long sigh of relief.Then, with two expectant eyes, he said unhurriedly: "My son is the Governor of Chengdu."
Xie Wuji: "..."
Wu Cong: "........."
Wu Cong thought that Jingzhe was joking, and stared at him for a long time, but Cheng Jingzhe never changed his mind.Wu Cong's expression changed suddenly: "Chengdu governor??? Zhu Nao????" The last two words broke the sound.
Jing Zhe said with a straight face: "Don't call my young master by his name directly."
Wu Cong: "!!!"
He still can't believe it.Zhu Nao's personal appearance and Xie Wuji's personal appearance are totally different things.Xie Wuji rode his horse back and forth, but only a few days.Zhu Nao had to cross a Daba mountain when he left Shu.Moreover, Xie Wuji was forced to be helpless and could not afford to make mistakes, so he had no choice but to come forward.Zhu Nao is in charge of a vast land of abundance, living a leisurely and rich life, yet he dares to risk himself!This, this, this is incredible!
Xie Wuji has already believed it.With complicated eyes, he was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said in a low voice, "It's worthy of the name..."
Chapter 127 Zhu Nao smiled and said: "As long as there is business to do, I must not let me miss it."
Xie Wuji in this room was eating pancakes that were as hard as wax paper, while spring was already blooming in Chengdu Mansion in that room.
……
With the arrival of early spring and the warmer weather, farmers who have rested for a winter are gradually returning to work in the fields.
Every spring is the time for the government to count the population and arable land, and to prepare for the taxation in summer and autumn, so things in the government gradually increase.
Xu Yu finished approving a stack of official documents, rubbed her stiff neck, and turned her head to look out the window.Today's weather is very good, the sun is shining, the flowers in the yard have already bloomed, and they are yellow and pink, which is really beautiful.However, Xu Yu's mood was not as clear as the weather.
As long as Zhu Nao doesn't come back for a day, his heart will be hanging on for a day.What if Zhu Nao is in danger in Jingzhao Mansion?What if I can't come back?The people's livelihood in Shuzhong has just started to improve, and a lot of things are still waiting!Alas, if I knew that I should have tried my best to dissuade Zhu Nao from taking that risk...
While he was worried, an official rushed in: "Young Yin, Fu Yin, he is back, he is back!"
Xu Yu was taken aback for a moment, his brows were beaming with joy, and he hurriedly greeted him out in person.
Sure enough, Zhu Nao had already entered the gate of the official residence and was walking in.The two met in the middle of the road, and Xu Yu went up excitedly: "Fu Yin, you are back! Is the journey going smoothly?"
"Successful." Zhu Nao asked, "How is the Chengdu Mansion in the past two months? Is it still peaceful?"
Xu Yu followed Zhu Nao and walked in: "Winter is quite peaceful, and these days have begun to get busy. Everyone is making books and fields, and there have been some small lawsuits, but nothing major happened." Some things that happened were roughly reported to Zhu Nao, and only later did he realize that there was no one beside Zhu Nao, so he quickly asked, "Hey, Fu Yin, where did Jing Zhe go?"
"Jingzhe?" Zhu Nao said, "He went back with Xie Wuji."
Xu Yu: "..." Who? ?Who did you go back with? ? ?
Zhu Nao laughed and said: "I went to Jingzhao Mansion this time, I settled the matter with Jingzhao Mansion, and also formed an alliance with Xie Wuji by the way. So I let Jing Zhe go to Xie's army to practice."
Xu Yu: "!!!"
……
……
After a while, Xu Yu listened to Zhu Nao's general account of what happened in Guanzhong, and also figured out the conditions for Zhu Nao to talk with Jingzhaofu and Xie Wuji.Can't help but feel deeply.
In this way, Zhu Nao really did not make this trip in vain.He settled the Jingzhao Mansion again, and won over Xie Jiajun, so he didn't have to worry about the passage out of Shu, and even the cultivation of generals was settled.Moreover, Shu merchants also got a lot of opportunities. You must know that once the road in Guanzhong is connected, Shu merchants will be able to go to all directions to operate in Shu in the future, which saves a lot of management fees.This is really a good thing that kills three birds with one stone!
After Xu Yu finished feeling, he quickly said: "By the way, Fu Yin, speaking of Xie Wuji, I happen to have something to report to Fu Yin."
Zhu Nao asked, "What's the matter?"
Xu Yu said: "Not long ago, the Wanzhou government reported an incident, saying that a few people were intercepted at the ferry in Wanzhou. Those people lost the certificate for customs clearance, so they were detained by the government. It should be the Xie family from Huizhou, they came to Wanzhou by water, and they wanted to borrow the way from Wanzhou to go north to find Xie Wuji."
Zhu Nao didn't expect this kind of thing to happen when he was away, and suddenly became interested: "Thank you family? Go from Huizhou to Yanzhou, and use Wanzhou as an excuse?" This road is not impossible, but the circle is really not small .
Xu Yu said: "Yes. According to them, they traveled from Wanzhou because Shu is peaceful, there is no war, and there are few bandits. If they go directly north, they are worried that they will be disturbed by bandits along the way."
This statement is actually reasonable.The road is a bit detoured, but it is indeed the safest road in this year.As for whether those people have other ideas about detours from the middle of Shu, only they know.
Zhu Nao asked, "Are you sure they are the Xie family?"
Xu Yu nodded: "There should be no problem after the investigation." Those people were only detained because they lacked a certificate when they passed by, and they were not deceived, and they couldn't commit false identities.
Zhu Nao said, "Oh... where is he? Are you gone?"
Xu Yu's face was still calm, but his tone could not help revealing some small pride in asking for credit: "No. After the Wanzhou government reported the matter, because the governor was not there that day, I could only make my own decisions. I asked the Wanzhou government to send those People have been sent to the Chengdu Mansion, and they have been making excuses not to give them approval. Now those Xie family members are still detained in the city, waiting for the Governor to come back and release them."
Zhu Nao raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but nodded in praise: "Very good. You have a heart."
Xu Yu was praised by Zhu Nao.A smile appeared on his face.
The reason why he detained those Xie family members was not because he had any enmity with the Xie family members in Huizhou. He did this for the sake of Zhu Nao and Shuzhong.
The Xie family in Huizhou is a big wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River.Many of the Xie family's children are officials in the capital, and they are also powerful in various places. For example, Xie Wuji is a big face of the Xie family.And those Xie family children are also going to find Xie Wuji this time.
Xu Yu asked the officials to ask them the purpose of going to Xie Wuji, but those people only said that they were visiting relatives, and refused to say anything else.Of course Xu Yu didn't believe that their purpose would be so simple.
In fact, since they don't say it, it's not hard to guess.Now that the imperial court is delegating power, people from all walks of life are seizing power.In some places, officials sit on the throne, in some places, local tyrants sit on the throne, and in some places, officials and tyrants collude with each other.Since the Xie family is a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, they will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to develop vigorously.They went north to look for Xie Wuji, either they planned to support Xie Wuji's development in the north, or they planned to let Xie Wuji go back to the south to support their development.
You must know that Jiangnan is very rich, and the Xie family is even richer in Jiangnan.Isn't Xie Wuji short of food in the army?If he went home to ask for land and food, let alone 3 people, even if there were 2 more people, he would not be afraid of starvation.The reason why he is living a hard life now is only because the distance from Huizhou to Yanzhou is long and it is difficult to transport food.
And it would definitely not be a good thing for Zhu Nao that the Xie family and Xie Wuji got online.
If Zhu Nao and Xie Wuji are enemies, the Huizhou Xie family will give Xie Wuji support, which will make Zhu Nao's enemy stronger; even if Zhu Nao and Xie Wuji are an alliance, the Huizhou Xie family will intervene, and this alliance will become precarious—— ——With the help of his own family, Xie Wuji still needs Zhu Nao?He joined hands with the Shu people just to make the best of the situation, how can there be any trust?
That's why Xu Yu detained people with excuses, not wanting them to go north.Moreover, Xu Yu deliberately handled this matter in a low-key manner without letting a few people know.In this way, if Zhu Nao intends to get rid of these Xie family members, he will be able to hide it without anyone noticing, and he is not afraid that it will be heard by the Xie family and Xie Wuji.
Don't ask to completely sever the connection between Xie's family and Xie Wuji, at least delay some time, delay some things, it will be beneficial to Zhu Nao, right?
Xu Yu asked: "Fu Yin, what should we do with those people?"
Zhu Nao didn't say anything immediately, just looked at Xu Yu and smiled gently.
Xu Yu was puzzled: "Fu Yin?"
Zhu Nao spoke, still a compliment: "You did a good job, I will remember this achievement."
Xu Yu was taken aback, feeling something was wrong.
Zhu Nao said calmly, "Prepare a few luxurious chariots, and send a team of officers and soldiers to escort them northward, and go to Guanzhong to find Xie Wuji."
Xu Yu was completely stunned.
He couldn't believe Junao's decision would be like this.Do nothing, just send people away like this?
He hesitated to speak for a long time, but finally couldn't help but said: "Doesn't Fu Yin even interrogate them?" At least knowing what their intentions are when they go to Xie Wuji, Zhu Nao can make corresponding preparations, right?
Zhu Nao said, "Didn't you already have an interrogation?"
Xu Yu was silent.After all, it was the Xie family in Huizhou. He didn't dare to go too far without Zhu Nao's instruction.He sent people to ask directly, and also asked around, but unfortunately they couldn't find anything.If they really want to use means to interrogate... But even if they ask something, they can't be sure whether what those people said is true or not.Probably because of this, Junao simply saved him the trouble of asking.
But, they really do nothing?Could it be that it was superfluous for him to detain him?
Zhu Nao seemed to see through Xu Yu's loss, and said, "Xu Shaoyin, it's definitely not your meddling. It's great to detain them. It's also very convenient for me."
Xu Yu stared at Zhu Nao blankly.convenient?
Zhu Nao said: "Arrange some articulate people to take care of those Xie family children along the way, and ask them about Jiangnan's affairs."
He added: "Ask them about other businesses in Huizhou besides land property. Those businesses are the most profitable. Also, what do the people in Huizhou like and what are they lacking? What specialties and minerals are there... Oh, and, don’t forget about water transportation! Jiangnan’s shipbuilding is the best, ask them who controls the shipbuilding industry now, and whether they can get in touch..."
Xu Yu: "..."
He is most concerned and thinks that the most important thing is why Xie's family is looking for Xie Wuji.But I didn't expect that Zhu Nao didn't mention this from the beginning to the end.Is it because Jun Nao has already guessed the purpose of the Xie family?Or is he sure that no matter what the Xie family's purpose is, it will not harm him?
Either way, Xu Yu couldn't say anything to refute.
He said blankly, "Then I...will arrange it now?"
"No rush." Zhu Nao said, "Let me think about it carefully and make a list for you."
Xu Yu: "..."
Zhu Nao said with a smile: "As long as there is business to do, I must not let me miss it."
Xu Yu: "..."
