Pang Tong fell silent and sat aside to look at Xia Hua. He looked like he was thinking about the universe, like a potato! He was motionless. Don’t get me wrong, saying he is like a potato is not to belittle him, but to praise him.< /p>

At this time, potatoes were a precious food that had not yet been fully promoted. Although there was a bumper harvest in Xuzhou, only a few were willing to eat them, and most of them were kept as food seeds.

In today's world, describing a person like a potato is definitely a compliment.

Sima Hui didn't criticize it and went back to the front yard to teach students.

This Pang Tong is a source of resentment, and his bad mouth has offended many people. He is scolded everywhere, and Sima Hui is not much better, because he has broken some inherent family status and thresholds, and now people everywhere have written letters to scold him. I don’t know how many.

What's more, some people describe him as a nuisance to the family.

Sima Hui was very calm and never defended himself. Since Confucius, the decline of knowledge has been a necessary process. In the future, there will be more poor scholars, and the rise of more poor families is an inevitable trend.

And those who stick to the old rules will not even be able to keep a name in the future.

What Sima Hui did will not be judged by them in the end, but by future generations.

Liu Qi went to Jia Xu's mansion, and Yuan Yao was already there. Not only Yuan Yao was there, but also Chen Gong, Chen Gui, including Yan Xiang and other original counselors from Yuan's camp.

When Liu Qi came in, he was startled. Chen Gong smiled and said: "During this period, Mr. Liu has been wronged. These are all nonsense. Please don't take it to heart, Mr. Liu."

"Yes." Liu Qi was very convinced. The emperor failed to get his wish for a concubine. Thinking about it this way, Liu Qi was slandered, so it was nothing. So he said: "This is a small matter, but it alarmed Prime Minister Chen. How can it be worth it?" Such a solemn apology?!"

"It's a small matter in Xuzhou, but it's a big matter in terms of reputation for the young master," Chen Gong said: "When the young master returns, I will personally apologize."

The slight discomfort in Liu Qi's heart was gone, and he said: "How dare you?! Compared with this matter, there is another thing that makes Qi feel uneasy..."

"Zhuge's matter?!" Jia Xu said with a smile: "Young master, don't worry, everything is safe."

Liu Qi was startled for a moment when he said what he said, and then he thought about it. Xuzhou is his hometown. Even if he acquiesces to letting Zhuge go, it is impossible not to deal with it.

Jia Xu has been keeping an eye on Zhuge, and with the people in the dark, Jia Xu would be really stupid if he didn't expect Zhuge's plan.

It's just that this person has always been very secretive, so he can prepare things secretly.

He is such an extremely low-key person, and Liu Qi is worried too much. How could he not be prepared?!

Liu Qi felt relieved immediately.

"Moreover, Sima Zhongda is here. Let's take this opportunity to see what Zhongda is capable of," Chen Gong said with a smile.

Chen Gui twirled his beard and said nothing, looking scheming.

Yuan Yao laughed when he heard this.

Yan Xiang was also very emotional and said: "You three actually trust Sima Zhongda? If he refuses to do his best, or stabs the lord in the back, everything will be over!"

"No," Jia Xu said with a smile: "Sima Yi is not a reckless person."

Yan Xiang couldn't stop laughing when he saw how confident they were. He didn't know where they got their confidence, and they even dared to bet on Lu Bu's safety.

Yuan Yao, Liu Qi and others returned first.

"It seems that this time my lord suddenly said that he wanted to go to Xiapi City, which is strange," Chen Gui said with a smile.

"When Shouchun was decided, Yuan Jiujiu passed away in a hurry, and the young master put aside the matter of the people who surrendered in Pi City," Chen Gong said: "My lord has always been worried about it, I'm afraid someone mentioned it.

After two sentences, he became interested. Now that he has remembered the Lord's temperament, he must go. Now that he thinks about it, I'm afraid someone has chosen him."

This Zhuge really has good intentions. He still wants to provoke a rebellion by the Yuan family's rebels in Xiapi City, and wants to ambush Lu Bu?!

It's a pity that Yuan Yao and all the generals under Yuan Shu are here. No matter how many people there are, it's not enough. They couldn't accomplish anything at first, let alone now.

It's also a good time for Sima Yi to get familiar with the dangers of Xuzhou, the dangers of being around Lu Bu, and practice his skills. Don't be lazy and don't try to hide. You can also take advantage of this to solve the troubles that you couldn't solve in the first place.

"General Hao Meng, are you still loyal?! Can you be traitorous?!" Chen Gui said.

"Although Hao Meng has different intentions, he once turned against Yuan Shu. However, since Yuan Shu is dead, he will definitely go to Xuzhou. Moreover, with the restraint of the female master and the kindness, he will not rebel." Chen Gong said: "It's just the rebellion in Xiapi City.

He may not be able to surrender the army. If Hao Meng is captured early in the city, things will be bad. Now that he has led the lord forward, how can there be no ambush?!"

"It doesn't matter. Besides, the purpose of this matter may not be Xiapi." Jia Xu felt that with Sima Yi here, there is really no need to worry. Even without Sima Yi, a mere Xiapi city would not be able to trouble Lu Bu.

If we take advantage of it now, we will be able to solve the previous problems. However, if Zhuge's purpose is just to go to Pi, then that would be really simple.

"I'm more worried about the situation of the young master. Something is not going well," Jia Xu said, "Let's add more troops to help."

Chen Gui and Chen Gong both nodded. At that moment, the three prime ministers issued a military order, summoned Song Xian, and ordered him to secretly lead his troops to pursue Gao Shun quickly and escort the young master back to Xuzhou.

Song Xian ordered his troops and horses overnight and went out at night.

"The city of Xuzhou is empty," Jia Xu smiled and said, "If there was a rebellion, it would be now."

Then Zhuge, could it be possible that he still has something up his sleeve?!

Now, no external enemy has time to attack the empty Xuzhou, so it may be defeated from within.

However, neither Yuan Yao nor Liu Qi fell into his trap, so he miscalculated after all.

"You still have to be careful," Chen Gong said: "Yuan Yao cannot restrain all the old generals of the Yuan family. If there are people who have dissatisfaction, they should do it now."

"This is a real opportunity," Chen Gui said with a chuckle: "If there is anyone who refuses to obey and causes chaos, in special circumstances, you can punish them!"

Jia Xu chuckled lightly, saying that Xuzhou was empty and had no generals. However, there were many unknown heroes who were promoted to capable generals. They just failed to become generals because they had no military exploits.

Xuzhou is not really empty.

In other words, this is just a spider web. If there is still something that can't be figured out, and they have to rush in at this time and die, they will not be lenient.

Anyone who takes advantage of the emptiness to cause chaos will be punished by death and extermination of the clan.

Otherwise, it will not be enough to calm people's hearts and frighten them into dissatisfaction.

However, Jia Xu always feels that in Xuzhou today, it is inevitable that some people will have small thoughts, but it is impossible to cause a big chaos.

If he didn't even have this little bit of self-confidence, he and Chen Gong would have stayed in their hometown of Xuzhou in vain.

Just as he was talking, the soldiers came to report and said: "Master Wang Kai has returned to the city."

The three of them were overjoyed and said: "Please come in quickly."

Wang Kai had come in with Xu Nu a long time ago. As soon as he came in, he prostrated himself. He burst into tears and was so emotional. He really thought he was going to die in Jiangdong in this life, or be imprisoned for the rest of his life and suffer the consequences.
p>

I didn’t expect that I would be able to come back.

For a moment, he was filled with emotion and said: "Kaifeng is in Jiangdong. Thanks to all of you, Kaicai will be able to return. Thank you for your efforts in this matter."

Chen Gongdao: "If you want to thank, thank Chen Yuanlong. He has done a lot of good."

Wang Kai said: "In the past, Kaixiao misunderstood Yuanlong Aowu, but unexpectedly he is also a good person. This time, thanks to him..."

"My lord is in Jiangdong, and everyone in Xuzhou is worried. Although we are for you, we are also for Xuzhou, and what you do is also for Xuzhou," Chen Gong said.

Wang Kai cried for a while, then smiled again and said: "Han Yu, thank you very much."

Chen Gui smiled and said: "You have done a great job, so I should thank you. Why did you thank me? You should tell him about Yuanlong when he comes back."

Wang Kai then laughed, Xuzhou was really different when he came back this time.

He felt mixed emotions and was inexplicably happy.

"I have learned a lot from my trip to Jiangdong. Everyone at Sun Bofu was too polite and enthusiastic. They tried to keep him and not let him go. There is really no way." Wang Kai said with a smile. For diplomatic reasons, this matter of being trapped is

You can't admit that you were detained, otherwise this matter will be unpleasant and escalate. Even if this is the case, you still have to whitewash it and say that the retention is all out of friendship.

Anyway, I absolutely cannot admit that I was detained and almost killed.

This is the routine of princes’ diplomacy, and the routine is very different even in modern times.

Some things can only be done underwater and cannot be put on the table because they are too ugly.

Everyone is an old strategist. Although their talents may be different, they still know the basic routines and have a tacit understanding. Of course, except for a few weirdos who don't play according to common sense, such as Pang Tong.

"When I meet my lord, I will definitely give you a reward. This is a very great achievement," Chen Gong said.

Wang Kai said: "I wanted to go to see my lord, but when I entered the city, I heard that my lord had left Xuzhou again?! I don't know where he was going?!"

"If we go to Xiaopei, we have to go to Xiapi City," Chen Gong explained the incident.

"I see," Wang Kai said with a smile, "Since the Lord is not here, Kai can rest for two days."

Chen Gong said with a smile: "Xuzhou has changed a lot. You can rest for two days and see the changes before you come back to the Yamen to take charge of various matters. Now is a busy time, so you can't be lazy."

Wang Kai laughed loudly and said: "It's just right, let Kai also take a closer look at the changes in Xuzhou."

Jia Xu arranged for him to join the Foreign Affairs Office. Most of the counselors were from the Foreign Affairs Office, because they often had to go on envoys and other matters. He told him to come back in three days and invited him to drink in the evening.

Wang Kai responded one by one and introduced Xu Nu to everyone, saying: "This general must be reused."

Wang Kai left these words and went home. He didn't return for a long time. He was eager to return and missed everyone in his family.

Chen Gong looked at Xu Nu and said with a smile: "You have also made a contribution this time. When the young master returns, he will be rewarded as well."

Xunu smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Chen."

Chen Gong smiled and said to Chen Gui and Jia Xu: "There are more heroes than teenagers. Our generation will eventually grow old. In the future, it will be their time..."

This is a good thing, it is a happy event that there is a person to take care of your life. Otherwise, if you don't take care of your life, it would be really ominous.

The three of them laughed, and Chen Gong said: "General Song Xian has just left. Please go find Mrs. Guo, listen to her instructions, and arrange the defense of Xuzhou together!"
