The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Vol 10 Chapter 189: Huangfu welcomes the army to report the thief's situation (3)

Speaking of which, Xun Zhen's account is now the most suitable person to sneak into Chang'an on behalf of Xun Zhen, get in touch with all the officials in the court, and guard Liu Xie's comprehensiveness, none other than Chen Ji. But Chen Ji was old and weak; second, the risk factor of sneaking to Chang'an was very high, and Xun Zhen couldn't let Chen Ji take this risk. Among the rest of the subordinate officials, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia are also very suitable, but Xi and Guo are the masterminds of Xun Zhen. , It is also overkill, slaughtering chickens with a knife.

The person Xun Zhen looked at was short and thin, with an unremarkable appearance, and it was Cheng Jia.

But although Cheng Jia is thin and daring, he has the style of seeking for wealth and wealth in the Warring States Period. The greater the risk and the greater the benefit, the more he dares to do it. Hearing Xun Zhen's words, he knew that this was going to Chang'an, it was a wolf's den and a tiger's den. If he didn't make it right, his head would fall. However, he was overjoyed and eager to try, without the slightest delay. He said, "Don't worry, Duke Ming. When Jia is going to Chang'an, he will definitely get in touch with Duke Ming and all the princes in the court and protect the emperor! Jia is in Chang'an, waiting for the righteous teacher of Ming."

Seeing him being so heroic, Xun Zhen couldn't help but admire him for a while, and said to the officials in the tent, "Jun Chang is a brave man!" He went down to the tent, took Cheng Jia's hand, and said, "Jun Chang, please go to Chang'an. You don't need to worry about the safety matters on the road and after arriving in Chang'an. I will order Dian Wei and Xu Chu to choose my personal soldiers to protect you. You should go down and prepare first. When you are ready, come see me again. I have something else to tell you. ."

Cheng Jia bowed and saluted, and turned to leave the tent.

Watching his back leave, it was Chen Ji who was dissatisfied with him before, and his expression at this moment was quite admirable.

...

Cheng Jia returned to his tent, ordered his servants to pack up, and said that he would go to Chang'an.

Hearing this, his servant immediately turned pale in horror, and said, "Everyone, even though the villain is a slave, he knows that Li Jue and Guo Si are rampant in Chang'an, and they have been fighting with each other for a long time. Isn't it dangerous to go at this time? Everyone is confused, why did they accept this order from Zhendong!"

Cheng Jia stood with a short body, looked at his beloved servant, sighed and said, "I thought you were humble, but you are similar to me, and I think highly of you. Ah, now that I look at it, I respect you. After all, there is a difference between the humble, and it is difficult to mix with the upper class!"

Cheng Jia's servant and Cheng Jia's temperaments are quite similar in some respects. Even Xun Zhen knew that Cheng Jia loved his servant, so Cheng Jia took him from Jizhou to Xuzhou and then to Changyi. He followed Xun Xun Zhenqin, the king of Chang'an, and took him by his side. After hearing what Cheng Jia said, the servant muttered, "Everyone, the villain is worried that you will be harmed by Li and Guo thieves!"

Cheng Jia had a strong attitude and said: "Don't you hear 'not eating for five cauldrons, but cooking for five cauldrons'? This is the words of the great sages in the early Han Dynasty. Even though I am not talented, how can I make people unique and beautiful! He said to his beloved servant, "If you are not afraid, come with me to Chang'an, and I will show you the scene. If you are afraid, stay in the camp."

His beloved servant received his provocation, and shouted sharply: "Everyone is not afraid, the humble body of the villain, why should you be afraid! I wish everyone to go to Chang'an thief's cave."

Cheng Jia smiled and said, "Okay, okay, this is my servant of Cheng Jia. The general is waiting for me in the tent, don't delay, do some cleaning up quickly."

In fact, there is nothing to pack, just bring a few changes of clothes and prepare some dry food.

After packing up, Cheng Jia came to see Xun Zhen again.

Taking advantage of this time, Xun Zhen had already written several letters by hand, and handed them all to Cheng Jia, saying: "After you arrive in Chang'an, don't see others first, think of a way first, see Yuan Chang in secret, and write all my letters. Hand it over to him, he knows what to do. Yuan Chang, a native of my hometown, although I haven't seen him for many years, we had a deep friendship in the early years. Believe it. You can fully trust Yuan Chang when you see him; he is familiar with the DPRK and Li Guo, and you can discuss everything with him."

Cheng Jia agreed.

That afternoon, Cheng Jia took his beloved servant and Xun Zhen to personally select them, and escorted his dozen or so tiger soldiers out of the camp, along the official road westward, to Chang'an. ——The dozen or so tiger warriors selected by Xun Zhen

All of them are brave, and the person who leads the team is Xu Chu's brother Xu Ding, needless to say.

After walking for half a day, sleeping in the open for one night, the next day, everyone continued to move forward.

In the afternoon, we entered the boundary of Huxian County, and then we went to Huayin County, and there were several people on the road.

Xun Zhen was now in Hongnong County, Zhang Ji and Duan Xun led their troops to flee to Huayin. At the same time, the soldiers and horses of Xun Zhen’s army were strictly disciplined, and they did not harass the people. But first, only the defeated soldiers under Zhang Ji and Duan Xun passed; At that time, the common people would definitely panic and fear, because Cheng Jia rarely encountered pedestrians on the road since he left Hongnong County. They all wore commoner clothes, like ordinary villagers, but the people who came before them were arrogant, and everyone who accompanied them also had their backs. It was obvious at a glance that they were not ordinary people.

Cheng Jia couldn't help but stare at him again and again.

Cheng Jia looked at the people on the opposite side with suspicion, and the people on the other side looked at Cheng Jia with suspicion. Cheng Jia and Qi fell down, and the soldiers who were protecting Xun Zhen were all strong and burly, with a stern aura overflowing, and they were not ordinary people no matter how they looked at them.

The two groups of people walking opposite each other are close to each other, and they are full of vigilance. They both put their hands on the saber and stare at each other closely. It will probably be up in the blink of an eye.

One of the two teams walked north by the road, and the other by the road south. The closer they got, the slower the pace of the two sides. Just when there were only a few dozen steps left on the two sides to meet, Cheng Jia suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "Are you a thief? ?"

Among the people who came across from the other side, the one with extraordinary equipment at the head did not speak, and one of the followers behind him shouted and asked, "Who are you waiting for?"

Cheng Jia could hear the voice clearly. This man spoke with a Liangzhou accent, and his heart was tense. He didn't need to tell him. Xu Ding waited for the tiger soldiers or the avant-garde, or formed a formation on both sides, and the result was a small formation, clang clang pumping. Knife in hand, bow and arrow. A few people on the opposite side jumped, hurriedly backed a few steps, and they all took out their weapons, and watched as a blood fight was about to unfold on both sides. Don't do it, hit Cheng Jia up and down again, and said, "I hear the accent, but is it from Jizhou?"

——Actually, whether it was Cheng Jia’s question just now, or the question from this group of people and the servant just now, as well as this person’s question at this time, they all spoke in Luoyang Mandarin, but Cheng Jia is also good, the opposite This group of people is good, they are not natives of Luoyang, and they have not stayed in Luoyang for a long time before, so the Luoyang mandarin they speak will inevitably carry their own strong local accents.

Cheng Jia didn't answer, but just pulled away the beloved servant who was standing next to him, and looked at him carefully, with a suspicious look on his face.

On the opposite side, the person who was headed by the dignified and arrogant said again: "Dare to ask the steps, but Jizhou Cheng Junchang?"

Cheng Jia was surprised, asked the person, and said, "Who is under your feet?"

Although Cheng Jia's words were not a positive answer, the man on the other side knew from Cheng Jia's rhetorical question that he had guessed correctly. He relaxed and smiled. He returned the sword in his hand to its sheath and took two steps forward. , bowed down and saluted, and said, "My servant stabilizes Huangfu Li."

Anding County, Huangfu Li?

Cheng Jia suddenly remembered one person, and said in surprise, "The one who is the son of the old chariot general Huangfu Gongcong...?"

"Huangfu justice is subordinate to the father."

This person was indeed Huangfu Li, the son of Huangfu Song.

However, he said, why did Huangfu Li suddenly appear here?

It turned out that Huangfu Li said that day that he could not get along with Li Jue, but was arrested by Li Jue's palace envoy Hu Ben Wang Chang and wanted to kill him, but Wang Chang did not kill him. , he heard that Zhang Ji and others sent people to Chang'an to ask for help from Li Jue and Guo Si, and that Xun Zhen's troops and horses had already entered Hongnong County. When Xun Zhen asked for the yellow turban, he had obeyed Huangfu Song. At that time, Huangfu Li was also in the army of Huangfu Song.

However, the two of them were old acquaintances. Both their father was Xunzhen's former senior official, and they had the experience of being a colleague. So he made a decision to come out of Chang'an to join Xunzhen. After traveling for many days, I am here today.

But this Huangfu Li didn't know Cheng Jiasu, how could he guess that the person he met was Cheng Jia?

This is because Huangfu Li knew that Zhong Yao was from Xun Zhen’s hometown and had a very close relationship with Xun Zhen. Before leaving Chang’an, he secretly met with Zhong Yao. Of course, Zhong Yao agreed with him to join Xun Zhen. In order to help him meet Xun Zhen smoothly and get an appointment under Xun Zhen's account smoothly, he told Huangfu Li the names, appearance and temperament of some important generals and civil servants under Xun Zhen's account. ——Zhong Yao and Cheng Jia have never met, but Cheng Jia is one of Xun Zhen's most effective lobbyists, and Zhong Yao knows this person.

Therefore, Huangfu guessed that he was probably Cheng Jia from Cheng Jia's rare appearance and Jizhou accent.

As a result, Huangfu Li guessed correctly.

Hearing Huangfu Li briefly explain the ins and outs of why he was here, Cheng Jia ordered Xu Ding and others to put away their weapons, stepped forward, and greeted Huangfu Li.

The two finished.

Cheng Jia smiled and said: "The flood washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family almost didn't know the family. It was a good thing that I guessed my name with a single step, so that misunderstanding was avoided."

Huangfu Li asked: "You are in a hurry, dare to ask, where do you want to go?"

Cheng Jia pondered for a while and thought, "Since he is here to join the general, I don't need to hide it from him; and he only came from Chang'an, so he might be able to help me." Order, go to Chang'an."

Huangfu Li was already suspicious of whether he was going to Chang'an. After hearing this, he confirmed his doubts and said, "So it is." Looking at the tiger soldiers behind Cheng Jia, he asked, "I don't know if I have been to Chang'an before. No? Recognizable or not? Going forward is Huayin, I just passed Huayin, and when I passed Huayin, Zhang Ji, Duan Xun and other thieves have already fled to the city, but they don't know how they plan to pass through Huayin?"

How could Xun Zhen ignore the matter of being a guide? Among the followers who followed Cheng Jia, in addition to Xu Ding and other tiger soldiers, there was one person recommended to Xun Zhen by a scholar from Hongnong County. He was a local nobleman and was familiar with the road from Hongnong County to Chang'an.

Cheng Jia answered Huangfu Li with this.

Huangfu Li thought for a while, and said, "The servants have just left from Chang'an and have just passed Huayin County. There are so many servants who are not only familiar with the road to Chang'an~www.wuxiamtl.com~ but also know how to get around Huayin County. Yin County, and is also very familiar with the situation inside and outside Chang'an, and inside and outside the walls of Li Jue's camp, or else, would the servant send him to his steps alone, and ask him to be a guide for his steps?"

This is of course the best, Cheng Jia will definitely not refuse, because he readily agreed, he thanked Huangfu Li, and said to Huangfu Li: "Zhendong is now in Hongnong County, if you step up to speed, so far tomorrow, you will be I can see Zhendong."

Huangfu Li said, "The Holy One is so anxious to see Zhendong Qin and Wang Bing's anticipation that he wants to see Zhendong sooner." Lu, it was convenient for Cheng Jia to say goodbye, and said, "I met you on the road. Although I have heard your name for a long time, I want to hear more orders, but you are under the command of Zhendongjun, and your servant is also entrusted by your servant Zhongjun. It is a big event. The important thing is, I won't talk about it with your step. Let's wait until Zhendong enters Chang'an, kill all the thieves, and after the saint escapes, I will have a drink with you!"

Huangfu Li's crisp demeanor was very much in line with Cheng Jia's intention. Cheng Jia returned the salute and said with a smile, "Okay! Then wait for the soldiers from Zhendong to arrive in Chang'an and save the emperor. You and I will have a good time together!"

The two met in a hurry, parted in a hurry, and then said goodbye on the road.

Guided by the servants of Xu Ding and Aipu, the nobles of Hongnong and the servant given to him by Huangfu Li, Cheng Jia continued to go to Chang'an; Huangfu Li then took the servants to Hongnong County.

...

The next afternoon, Huangfu Li arrived in Hongnong County and inquired that Xun Zhen was not in the county, but in the barracks in the south of the county, so he went outside to ask for an interview.

Hearing that Huangfu Li suddenly came to ask for an interview, Xun Zhen was very happy and went out to greet him in person. Click to download this site APP, massive novels, free to read!
