"Hunting?"

Everyone was stunned, and then they were a little angry.

They just waited, but when Zi was waiting today, Zhang Xiu didn't know the etiquette of the king and his subjects and went to hunt, and really didn't take the emperor seriously.

"Hmph, Prime Minister Zhang is so powerful! He has made His Majesty wait for his husband all day, but in the end he did not win the truth for such a bad reason. I'm afraid he is arrogant!"

Dong Cheng frowned and said in a deep voice.

After Dong Cheng finished speaking, many civil servants whispered in a low voice, a little dissatisfied, but they did not dare to express it so blatantly.

After Dong Cheng finished speaking, he left dissatisfied with the fact that he shook his sleeves.

Everyone parted in disagreement, and some ministers even planned to get sick tomorrow. They didn't want to be teased like this by Zhang Xiu.

......

In a blink of an eye, a few days later.

In the past few days, Jia Xu delayed with various reasons. All the court officials were tired, and countless meticulous works were not surprised by the fact that they had not seen anyone day by day.

So much so that except for the officials of the Zhang Xiu Sect, all the others were sick.

The many sluts who were originally shocked were also active again while waiting for several days. There were too many forces within Jingzhou to collude with Yuan Shao.

If this group of aristocratic families could be killed casually, Jia Xu probably had ordered to slaughter countless times, but he could not touch these people for no reason.

Even if the secret forces tried their best to investigate, they were still a drop in the bucket and could not win a few people.

......

Xiangyang, Kuai's backyard.

Many aristocratic families gathered together and looked radiant.

How long did they wait until Yuan Shao captured Youzhou? In this case, Yuan Shao probably won't be long before he could lead his army south.

"Brother Kuai, what did Jia Xu mean? It's the fifth day, and Zhang Xiu is still missing. Could he be playing tricks on the world?"

"Haha, it's just a strategy to slow down the army!" Kuai Liang sneered. He had not gone to the past two days of flattery. He had dared to assert that Zhang Xiu would not come back for the time being.

"The reason why that old guy Jia Xu said that Zhang Xiu returned in triumphantly was simply that he wanted us to be afraid of the rats and make all the princes afraid of it."

Kuai Liang talked about it broadly.

"Hmph, I'll just say, when is it now? How could Zhang Xiu go hunting? It's really ridiculous. I'm afraid Jia Xu believes it."

"Haha, Jia Xu, that old fox, I really think that everyone in the world is as stupid as him. I'm afraid Zhang Xiu will not be able to come back for a while."

"That's true. Zhang Xiu only brought ten thousand people southwards. It is naturally unlikely to pacify Jiaozhou in a short time."

"Haha, the scholars have been running Jiaozhi for generations, so it is so easy to capture. Not to mention that Zhang Xiu only brought 10,000 people, even if he had 100,000, it would probably not be able to take Jiaozhou in less than a year or two.

For a moment, everyone was talking and talking.

There was a little more laughter, especially when they thought that Zhang Xiu might not be able to come back, they were even happier.

"Brother Kuai, what did Yuan Shao say? Is there a reply?"

After saying that, everyone looked at Kuai Liang together.

When Yuan Shao took down Gongsun Zan, they contacted Yuan Shao's people more frequently.

"Xu You, the humerus next to Yuan Gong, replied that Yuan Shao would go south soon, and wanted us to report all the news about Jingzhou and make Jingzhou even more chaotic."

Kuai Liang's eyes were slightly condensed and he said.

"Make Jingzhou more chaotic?" Everyone showed a embarrassed expression. If Yuan Shao went south and they could cooperate inside and outside, but if Jingzhou was even more chaotic, it would be difficult to deal with it.

There is no way, Zhang Xiu might come back at any time, and the military power of Jingzhou is completely under the Zhang Xiu group. Even if they assemble the dead soldiers, they will find it difficult to compete with one ten thousandth of them.

The main reason is that Zhang Xiu's remaining power is still there, and they dare not be arrogant.

"Brother Kuai, Jingzhou is now undercurrents. It is time for Duke Yuan to go south. As for the chaos, I am afraid that the old guy Jia Xu will not be willing."

"Yes, Jing Yang's 200,000 troops were waiting for the armor. If we acted rashly, we might be able to crush us into powder in the blink of an eye."

Everyone hesitated and said, a little worried.

What they mainly thought was that Yuan Shao went south to serve as the main attacker. In this way, Jingzhou's troops were empty, so it would not be difficult for them to assemble some dead soldiers to do some movements.

Kuai Liang nodded and said solemnly: "I have already told Xu You about these things, but he has not replied to me. I guess Yuan Shao wants to worry about going south as soon as possible or rest as possible."

"In this way, you have asked the following families to create some disputes in counties in various places to increase the tension in Jingzhou. In addition, people were sent to spread rumors, saying that Zhang Xiu was defeated in Jiaozhou and had no idea of ​​his life or death."

"In this way, everyone in Jingzhou will inevitably be in danger." Kuai Liang pinched his chin and showed a vicious look.

"Haha, Brother Kuai's plan is very good. In this way, it is equivalent to urging Yuan Shao to send troops in disguise. Moreover, if Zhang Xiu, who was believed by the people in Jingzhou, died, he would inevitably be in chaos."

"What preparations do we need to make in the near future?"

"Constrain the people below, and train the soldiers of the dead, and it will probably not take long to use them." Kuai Liang reminded him.

Everyone nodded in approval,

If you want to be able to speak in front of Yuan Shao, you still need to show some strength, and they all know this.

"Okay, Jia Xu's eyeliner has been around my mansion recently. It's not advisable to stay for a long time. Let's go down and prepare!" Kuai Liang waved his hand and said.

"Goodbye!" Everyone stood up and clasped their fists.

......

South of Xiangyang City, a hundred miles away.

Zhang Xiu looked at the letter in his hand and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Jia Xu's letter told the situation over the past few days, and at the same time explained the current internal worries within Jingzhou. Gongsun Zan had been defeated and Jingzhou was the first to be affected.

Even if Zhang Xiu does not appoint the people, his aristocratic families will definitely collude secretly, but it is just more intense now.

What Jia Xu wrote in his letter was very serious, and he felt that there was a riot in Jingzhou.

"Lord, the military advisor urged us to return to the army?" Zhao Fan said in a deep voice, holding the sword.

"Not only did we not let us return to the army openly, but we would let me sneak into the city quietly." Zhang Xiu explained, and he really couldn't understand what Jia Xu was selling.

On the one hand, Jia Xu wanted the aristocratic families in the city to know that they were back, but when he returned soon, he actually asked himself to sneak back again, trying to let these aristocratic families show their strength?

Or, to lure Yuan Shao into an offense?

Zhang Xiu smiled bitterly, Jia Xu's pussy had not explained clearly, so he was quite annoying.

"In this way, I will go back according to the intention of the text and see the situation. As for this, I will leave it to Zhongye. It is best not to let people find out, so as not to fail."

Zhang Xiu pondered for a moment, but decided to go over and see Jia Xu's intentions.

"No!" Wen Pin nodded and agreed.

Immediately, Zhang Xiu disguised himself and took Hu Cheer and dozens of horses straight towards Xiangyang. At the speed of the war horse, it was estimated that he would arrive at noon.

......

At noon, the north gate.

The south gate of Xiangyang is still waiting for Zhang Xiu to succeed. As for the north gate, most of them are merchants traveling with each other, and many people traveling from south to north, most of them are more familiar with each other.

The air in spring is still slightly cold, and Zhang Xiu was wrapped tightly. Looking at the long-lost Jingzhou City, Zhang Xiu felt a little moved. It has been three or four months since he left.

The main reason is that Jiaozhi is too far away and the journey takes too much time.

When entering the city, Zhang Xiu could hear various comments from time to time, most of which were related to Yuan Shao's journey south, and some were related to whether he had returned.

And everyone's views were surprisingly consistent.

Not many people think that Zhang Xiu can win, and even the prosperity in the city has weakened a lot. Perhaps it was just beginning of spring, but Zhang Xiu felt that most merchants were worried about the war in Jingzhou.

Therefore, trade with Jingzhou was reduced.

Stream all the way, the back door of Zhang's mansion.

The back door is usually left by servants, and there are usually no one.

When he entered the mansion, Zhang Xiu went to the backyard for a silent walk and found that none of his wives and concubines were present, which made Zhang Xiu very depressed.

At this time, Zhang Xiu had just withdrawn from a room.

"Who? What are you doing sneakily?" At this moment, a delicate voice sounded, but this voice was a bit familiar to Zhang Xiu.

Turning his head, Zhang Xiu looked over happily.

Just like, more than ten steps away, the beautiful and exquisite face was revealed. After not seeing each other for many days, my aunt seemed to be even more charming and attractive!

Due to various reasons, the distance between him and Zou has been widened a lot, of course, it only refers to the distance between him and his wife and concubine in the backyard is not there, so why isn't he...

Zhang Xiu slowly took off his cloak, revealing his sunny and handsome face, with joy on his face.

Zou was stunned and a little stunned.

The face was so familiar that she was a little unfamiliar with her. She never expected that this person was Zhang Xiu. And didn’t Zhang Xiu go to Jiaozhou? How could he suddenly appear in the mansion?

"Youwei, is it you?" Zou said in a trembling voice.

Her beautiful eyes were a little unbelievable, and Zhang Xiu's wives and concubines were all going to greet him. Why did this person come back secretly?
To be continued...
