Chapter 359: When a scholar meets a soldier, he can’t explain why.
Yecheng, the residence of the Zhen family.
"Ha ha ha ha…"
The sad laughter resounded throughout the main hall, and the desks and desks were filled with refreshments and fruits, as if an extremely important guest had arrived.
Of course…
This guest is Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao!
Because of Guo Jia's plan, the official seal of "Shang Cai Ling" was lost and recovered, the conspiracy between Yuan Shang and Shen Pei was solved, and the entire Zhen Mansion became extremely clear.
"Young Master Fengxiao, drink, drink..." Zhen Yi, the head of the Zhen family, personally advised Guo Jia to drink. "I heard that you are the winery manager of Youjian Villa, so you must be a good drinker. I specially brought the wine of the Zhen family for twenty years.
Good wine, Fengxiao, just drink it."
"Thank you, Uncle Zhen..." Guo Jia was not polite, picked up the wine bottle and drank it all in one gulp... The only thing in his life about wine was that he would not refuse anyone who came.
"Why don't you come over quickly and offer a bottle to Mr. Guo..." After Zhen Yi toasted, he called on several daughters to come and toast one after another. He said with emotion, "Young Master Guo has been very kind to our Zhen family..."
The three daughters stood up and walked this way...
Unexpectedly, Guo Jia waved his hands repeatedly. "Uncle Zhen, I don't deserve this great kindness. I am just a loyal person entrusted by others. If we talk about kindness, the kindness of the Zhen family will be remembered by my Yi Yi."
Brother!"
"But Yi Xiaotian, the owner of Youjian Villa?" Zhen Yi asked his name directly...
"Uncle Zhen seems to know." Guo Jia nodded. "That's right, it's him... In fact, he had anticipated the Zhen family's trouble early on and asked me to come. It was just his plan.
Get up, I'm just a pawn on his chessboard!"
Hmm... Zhen Yi nodded and waved his long sleeves. This was the second time in this period that he heard the praise of Yi Xiaotian.
The person who can make Yingchuan talent Guo Jia value so much... It must be not easy to think about. If you have the opportunity, you really need to get in touch with him.
"It doesn't matter, Mr. Yi is the benefactor of our Zhen family, and Fengxiao is also the benefactor of our Zhen family... Come on, why don't you help Mr. Fengxiao fill the bottle with wine!"
While they were talking, some of the daughters of the Zhen family were carrying wine bottles, while others were holding up wine bottles, as if they were serving Guo Jia carefully... and even had a hint of affection.
Huh... Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of sadness in his heart.
Sure enough, Brother Yi can't be bullied by me...
With this bottle of wine in your belly and a beautiful woman in your arms, it’s like a fairy life. Brother Yi’s “errand” really cannot escape the “law of true fragrance”!
Another drink…
When the third son, Zhen Yao, took the initiative to pay homage to Guo Jia, he seemed to have thought of something.
"Brother Fengxiao... It is true that this time the disaster is over, but if Yuan Shang and Shen Pei fail to succeed, they will inevitably come up with another plan. Brother Yi also mentioned that they are determined to get the Zhen family's wealth and are eager to see through it... This series of
The conspiracies are coming one after another, I'm afraid Brother Fengxiao will be unable to defeat him with just two fists!"
Zhen Yao has grown up...
He is no longer the rich young man who could lose all his money at Yujian Villa.
Now he sees things much more clearly...and understands the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace.
Even if the crisis is temporarily lifted now.
But there is no doubt that Yuan Shang and Shen Pei will not give up in the future. They are afraid that they will be overwhelmed by conspiracies and will kill one after another... What if... What if...
Every time he thinks about this, Zhen Yao's expression becomes more serious.
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Different from Zhen Yao's expression, Guo Jia seemed very calm. Of course, facing this thorny problem, he could only show his hands. "The so-called soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. With me, Guo Jia, there is no ordinary conspiracy."
I take it seriously, but... I'm also worried that Yuan Shang and Shen Pei will become completely shameless, and if they can't do it secretly, they will rob openly. When the time comes, the scholar will meet the soldier, and he can't explain it clearly?"
Guo Jia blurted out his words.
Zhen Yao looked startled.
Not only Zhen Yao, but also Zhen Rong, the fourth daughter of the Zhen family who was pouring wine for him next to Guo Jia, also became nervous.
"Mr. Guo? Then... what if Yuan Shang and Shen Ping are really shameless? What should we do...?" Zhen Rong, the fourth daughter, asked softly with her teeth pressed against her lips.
"Well..." Guo Jia rolled his eyes and waved his hand. "I don't know!"
He is quite honest...
But it’s no wonder, everyone has already snatched it, what else can you do? You can’t just roll up your sleeves and attack directly, right? You know, your arms can’t hold your thighs after all, and no matter how awesome the Zhen family is, they are still noobs in front of the Yuan family.
ah!
but…
Guo Jia rolled his eyes and continued. "Since Brother Yi asked me to come to Zhen's Mansion, he must have figured out everything. I only need soldiers to stop him. I'll leave the other... conspiracies to Brother Yi to figure out."
, I can have some leisure time here!"
Speaking of which…
"Mr. Guo, I have your letter."
But he saw Zhen Tuo, the second daughter of the Zhen family, walking in from the door. She was holding a letter in her hand, with feathers on it. It was probably news from flying pigeons!
Guo Jia took the letter and read it roughly, it was from Brother Yi...
At that moment, Guo Jia stopped smiling and became more serious.
The content on the letterhead is actually not complicated. There is only one thing. Yecheng is going to be flooded recently... Yi Xiaotian is reminding Guo Jia to take refuge in high places and prepare food and ships...
call out…
Guo Jia frowned slightly, his thoughts changing rapidly.
Then he asked urgently, "Is there a river on the edge of Yecheng? I remember it's called Zhang River? Is that right?"
Hmm... This question was made without reason, and everyone in the Zhen family was startled.
"Yes...yes..." Zhen Yi nodded. "Why does Fengxiao ask this..."
"Oh, it's nothing..." Guo Jia waved his hands gently, but his words were still calm and gentle. "Brother Yi has received a letter. He said that the water from the Zhang River will pour into Yecheng... Let us take refuge in higher places!"
what?
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned!
During Guo Jia's trip, he first lit a fire in Zhen's Mansion and did something vigorously, and then Yecheng was about to be flooded again... My dear, this is both water and fire, what on earth is it?
Routine?
Zhen Yi patted his forehead, Zhen Yao also knocked his head, and the three daughters of the Zhen family were even more puzzled...
But at this moment, Guo Jia had already walked out the door.
"Brother Guo...you...what are you going to do?" Zhen Yao asked urgently.
"Oh..." Guo Jia's footsteps did not stop at all. "I'm going to go shopping and see where there is a commanding height in Yecheng where I can avoid these parallel imports!"
Hiss...this...
Everyone was even more surprised. Could it be that just because of a letter, they had to believe that water from the Zhang River would really pour down?
It seems that... throughout ancient and modern times, the water of the Zhang River has never poured into Yecheng. This... Isn't this too incredible? Does Guo Jia believe so firmly in the words of this so-called Brother Yi?
But at this moment.
With a "bang...", Zhen Yi punched the document hard. "Immediately inform everyone in the Zhen family to move to Jiming Mountain secretly. Since Fengxiao and Mr. Yi are so determined, we can nip it in the bud.
The Zhen family should all go to higher ground to avoid the water!"
In a nutshell…
The entire Zhen Mansion fell into a panic. The young master, the young lady, and the servants all packed their packages one after another... as if a disaster was imminent.
Of course, in the eyes of the neighbors, this behavior is simply ridiculous.
Some people don't know where they got the news. The Zhen Mansion avoided disaster just because of a letter... and they said that Zhanghe River water was pouring back? This is simply making people laugh!
Just when everyone was looking forward to seeing the Zhen Mansion's joke.
Here they come...
Cao Cao led tens of thousands of elite cavalry to the vicinity of Yecheng... The one-month trip was unexpectedly shortened to ten days.
Now, setting up camp... the entire Cao camp looks like it is about to attack the city.
Through the window of the Chinese army's tent, Cao Cao stared at the sturdy gate of Ye City not far away, his thoughts changing rapidly...
After a while, he turned around and looked back at the counselors and generals around him...
"Everyone, now that we have arrived at the city, let's talk about it! How to attack Ye City? How to attack it? How many days will it take to conquer it?"
As soon as this question came out.
All the civil servants and generals in Cao's camp looked at each other, and no one doubted Cao's army's ability to capture Ye City.
But... how to attack a city to minimize losses?
For a moment, even the Yingchuan think tank that Cao Cao was proud of could not help but frown and fell into deep thought...
It seems...for now, the only way is to attack by force!
Casualties are inevitable, but if Jizhou is conquered in a battle, no matter how many casualties it takes, it seems to be worth it.
Thinking of this...
Xun You was about to speak and detail the strategy for attacking the city with four gates... But at this moment, Xu Chu hurriedly broke into the Chinese army's tent. Not only did he come, he also brought a carrier pigeon with a letter tied to its leg.
Thin and thin...
This kind of dark yellow silk is the unique material used by the Tiger Army to convey messages...
Before Xu Chu reported it, Cao Cao already knew that the pigeon came from Guanzhong.
And if the Huben Army can be responsible for the transmission and Xu Chu personally brings it, then...there is no doubt that this letter came from Brother Yi!
When he thought of this, Cao Cao stretched out his hand to stop all the counselors' discussion. He took the carrier pigeon, took off the letter, quickly unfolded it, and looked into it word by word!
precisely.
It doesn't matter what you want...
I never thought that the strategy to conquer Yecheng would lie in this thin layer of thin silk.
