Chapter 451: Messenger (2)

『Zhao Zhang's envoy, Zhang Ji...』

Chen Xu nodded with a smile, but in fact he was secretly observing the man named Zhang Ji in front of him.

According to his observation, this man named Zhang Ji was stable and strong in the lower plate. He could tell at a glance that he was a person with solid martial arts skills.

What is commendable is that, unlike ordinary warriors, this man looks very steady.

He smiled and said, "Brother Zhang Ji is not an ordinary person."

"Shishou Chen is too proud." Zhang Ji looked calm and did not show any joy because he received Chen Xu's praise, which made Chen Xu secretly amazed.

Of course, it is not the time to be curious about an envoy. Chen Xu wanted to know more about the reason. Cheng Zhou, the commander of Qu in Yuzhang and Zhao Zhang, the commander of Qu in Jiangdong, both sent envoys to them.

Guan Shuo was also deeply confused about this.

He ordered the soldiers to bring in two wooden stools and invite Huang Yun and Zhang Ji to sit at the table, and said with a smile: "The camp was first built, and it is simple and simple. Don't be surprised by it."

"Guan Shuaiyan is serious." Huang Yun smiled and waved his hand, and sat down on the wooden stool without any mind.

The same is true for Zhang Ji from the side.

At this time, Guan Shuo and Chen Xu also sat down on the wooden stool next to the table. After looking at each other, Guan Shuo asked Huang Yun: "Zimei, is it because you two have come here this time that something happened in Jiangdong?"

The Zimei in his mouth is Huang Yun's face.

"misfortune?"

Huang Yun was stunned for a moment, then seemed to have thought of something, and said with a smile: "No, no, Shuai Guan misunderstood, everything goes well in Jiangdong..."

After saying that, when he saw Guan Shuo and Chen Xu, he faintly showed an incredible look, and then said with some pride: "The two Qu generals don't know that since my cousin led his army to Xia Pi last year and joined forces with Zhao Qu general, my charity army has killed all directions and led countless county towns. It's ridiculous that Han Xu was called the "Five Tigers of Chenmen". He was defeated repeatedly in front of my charity army... Before the winter of last year, my charity army had captured Pengjun, and the surrounding counties such as Lu, Liu, Jing, and Wu were all taken into their bags."

Guan Shuo and Chen Xu were amazed at the sight.

To be fair, they didn't really know the Qu Zhang, the general in Jiangdong. They only knew that this person was once a county magistrate of Xiapi County. For some reason, they suddenly rebeled against Jin State and turned to his righteous army.

At that time, there were originally the righteous troops in the Jiangdong area of ​​Danyang and Wujun. However, compared with Jingchu and Jiangzhong areas, the righteous troops in the Jiangdong area were originally weak. Not only were they unable to advance to Jiujiang and Guangling, they were sometimes attacked by the Jin army of these two counties.

Until Zhao Zhang raised the banner of anti-Jin, the situation in Jiangdong immediately changed.

Guan Shuo and Chen Xu once heard that when Zhao Zhang killed the Xia Pi County Magistrate and raised the banner of anti-Jin, there were only a few thousand soldiers around him.

But it was with these thousands of soldiers that Zhao Zhang conquered Sihuai all the way, and finally joined forces with Danyang Yishi and Wujun Yishi in Guangling, and captured Guangling County in one breath, causing the Jin court to shake.

Of course, the most talked about by the world is that Zhao Zhang defeated the general stationed in Jiangxia Han Cheng.

As Han Xu's old opponent, Chen Xu knew very well how powerful this "tiger general" was. He said without blushing that he had won fewer victories and more defeats in front of Han Xu. Therefore, when he learned that Han Xu had sent troops to the Xia Pi area to suppress Zhao Zhang's rebellion, Chen Xu was also somewhat worried about the newly enlisted fellow disciple.

But who would have thought that after Zhao Zhang fought Guangling County, he turned the gun and cleanly removed Han Cheng, defeating the famous "Five Tigers of Chenmen" in one fell swoop.

It was this victory that completely set off a wave of uprisings among the charity troops in various counties in Jiangdong, and also helped to increase the enthusiasm and confidence of the charity troops in Jingchu and Jiangzhong to raise troops to overthrow Jin.

To be fair, if it weren't for the facts in front of him, Chen Xu would never believe that Han Cheng, who he was extremely afraid of, would have been defeated repeatedly in the hands of Zhao Zhang.

Just as Chen Xu was feeling, Huang Yun said again: "This year, my brother and Zhao Shuai were preparing to attack Yuzhou, but according to reports, Zhang Jing, the general stationed in Jinan, had suppressed the righteous army in Mount Tai last year and rushed south to Jining before winter. This was obviously to suppress my righteous army... Mr. Gongyang believed that since he could not escape, he would fight head-on, defeat Zhang Jing first, and then go north... When I set off, my righteous army had already gone north to Jining."

“…”

Guan Shuo and Chen Xu looked at each other when they heard this.

Of course they knew that Zhang Jing was also the adopted son of Grand Master Chen, Han Qing's righteous brother, and the "Tiger General of Jin" who was also known as the Five Tigers of Chen's Party.

What Mr. Gongyang dares to boast that "be defeated Zhang Jing first, and then go north"?

Guan Shuo asked tentatively: "Zimei, the Mr. Gongyang you are talking about is..."

"It's the military advisor and general next to Zhao Qushuai." Huang Yun said in a respectful tone: "The two Qushuai may not know that Mr. Gongyang is really a god. He expects the enemy to be the first and make plans. In front of Mr. Gongyang, Han Xu is like a child."

“…”

Guan Shuo turned his head and looked at Chen Xu. Seeing that Chen Xu's expression was strange, he coughed and said, "Guan is also eager to see such a wise man. I wonder what Mr. Gongyang calls him?"

"this……"

Huang Yun was stunned, twisted his beautiful beard and said, "I don't know. The righteous master all called Mr. Gongyang..."

After saying that, he turned to look at Zhang Ji and asked, "Brother Zhang Ji should know Mr. Gongyang's name, right?"

Zhang Ji said tactfully: "Mr. Gongyang once said that his helping the righteous army to raise an army was damaged by the name of his ancestors, so he did not dare to use his real name."

"Oh." Huang Yun suddenly realized, then shook his head and said, "A scholar like Mr. Gongyang, who was well-educated, could he be so pedantic. My righteous teacher was in accordance with the decree of heaven. How could he humiliate his ancestors?"

Zhang Ji smiled and said nothing.

From the side, Chen Xu felt strange and couldn't help asking: "Brother Zhang Ji, are you familiar with that Mr. Gongyang?"

Zhang Ji's eyes flashed slightly. Before he could answer, Huang Yun smiled and said, "Brother Zhang Ji is the guard of Mr. Bohu, and Mr. Gongyang is the teacher of Mr. Bohu, so he is naturally familiar with each other."

"Young Master Bo Hu?" Chen Xu was stunned again.

Seeing this, Huang Yun smiled and explained, "He is Zhao Qushuai's nephew, Zhao Bohu, and the righteous master are all called Prince Bohu... My cousin once said that although Prince Bohu is young, he is both civil and military, and has extraordinary dignity and courage. With time, his future is limitless."

『It is so popular in Cheng Zhou?』

Chen Xu was secretly surprised.

At this time, Zhang Ji whispered to Huang Yun: "Brother Zimei, let's talk about the serious business first."

"Oh, yes, yes."

After Zhang Ji reminded him, Huang Yun reacted and said seriously to Guan Shuo and Chen Xu, "Two Qu generals, I came here this time to 'meet in Liangcheng, the southern capital'. Mr. Gongyang said that my righteous army advanced together, the western and middle roads were narrow, but the eastern roads were the widest. He had to take care of Shandong and the two and Jingchu righteous army met in Liangcheng, the southern capital. Moreover, after defeating Zhang Jing, the garrison of the Shandong Jin army was empty, so..."

He licked his lips and said with a little embarrassment: "I don't hide it from you. Mr. Gongyang suggests taking Jining and Jiyin first, and then Jinan, and then depending on the situation, either attacking Liangcheng west or advancing Shandong east."

Guan Shuo's expression changed slightly, and his expression was a little weird, "Does it depend on the situation? Does it depend on the progress of the righteous teacher of Jing Chu and the progress of my righteous teacher in Jiangzhong?"

"Uh..." Huang Yun looked embarrassed and did not dare to look directly at Guan Shuo.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xu sighed secretly.

He felt that his various righteous masters were like a pile of loose sand, but now they are the best portrayal - Jiangdong righteous master obviously did not intend to attack Liangcheng.

Of course, it may also be that they blamed them for being "progressing too slowly" and urging them in disguise.

All in all, not a friendly attitude.

Shuoping his hand to signal Guan Shuo to calm down, Chen Xu asked tentatively: "I wonder if you can discuss this with the Jiangdongqu envoy?"

"Well……"

Huang Yun's expression became even more awkward, licking his lips and said strangely: "The envoy sent by Jingchu is very high in his opinion. He has repeatedly disagree with Zhao Qushuai and Mr. Gongyang. He was expelled by Zhao Qushuai in winter last year..."

“…”

Not to mention Chen Xu, even Guan Shuo, who was suppressing his anger at the moment, was stunned.

Exit the canal?

The Qu envoy was an envoy sent by Jingchu, which was equivalent to a military supervisor. So did Zhao Zhang expel the military supervisor?

"Is this going to start your own business?"

Chen Xu frowned deeply.

Although he didn't know what happened between Jiangdong and Jingchu, he felt keenly that behind this matter was probably not that simple.

After all, Zhao Zhang is now full of wings, and he is no longer the same as before.

After thinking for a while, Chen Xu tentatively said, "Zimei, Guan Shuai and I, your brother, and you have known each other for many years. Are you seeing each other now? Please tell me the truth, what are Jiangdong's plans?"

Huang Yun showed a little hesitation on his face. Then, he glanced at Zhang Ji, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay... The two Qu generals, Mr. Gongyang said that a centipede worm will die without being stiff. Although Jin State is declining, its foundation is still there and cannot be replaced overnight. Therefore, after conquering Jiyin, Jinan, Taishan, and Shandong, Mr. Gongyang suggested that the Taishan and Jishui were barriers in the north, and Jining, Nanbeihu and Pengcheng were barriers in the west, and prepare for war and rest. During this period, the Jin State was declining in the north and took Yuzhou in the west. After the stalemate for several years, the Jin State was declining, and then he wanted to cross the river and advance north. As for the southern capital Liangcheng..."

He shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Gongyang thinks this is a useless rib. Even if he spends a lot of effort to capture it, the righteous master still has to face the great river and the natural trench, which is useless to obtain it."

Hearing these words, Chen Xu realized that Jiangdong Yishi was most likely going to set up his own business. At least, they had completely abandoned Jing Chu's orders.

Of course, this does not mean that Mr. Yang was unscrupulous. On the contrary, Mr. Yang’s advice was very clever, but the problem is that this suggestion is only the most beneficial to the Jiangdong Yishi.

After a while of silence, Chen Xu suddenly asked, "Zimei, who is instructing you to come here?"

"It was Zhao Qushuai and my brother to discuss and decide." Huang Yun replied.

"Where is that Mr. Gongyang? Did he not object?" Chen Xu said with a smile: "I suspect that in the eyes of Mr. Gongyang, whether it is Jingchu or I, Jiangzhong, are probably people who are 'not enough to be conspiring'?"

"Where does Chen Shuai start..." Huang Yun laughed awkwardly.

"I'm underestimated...
