Lin Ze's Jueying Ma traveled thousands of miles and asked everyone to wait. He was going to Xi County to ask what was going on with Ma Wu.
But how dare Huang Zhong and Wei Yan leave their lord alone, and they followed Cao Ang from afar.
He quickly came to Xi County. Ma Wu was about to order 50,000 troops to go to the Shouchun area to annihilate Zhang Ji. When he saw Lin Ze coming, he panicked. The 200,000-strong general looked like a criminal when he saw Lin Ze. Wrong child.
Lin Ze turned over and dismounted, took a riding crop and gave him twenty lashes on the chest. He was wearing armor and could not feel the pain, but he could feel Lin Ze's anger.
A group of generals and counselors were all silent. It was rare to see the lord lose his temper with his own people. He must have been very angry today.
"Ma Wu, I dealt with you through military law. Now I'm going to chop you into pieces with a knife. Do you feel aggrieved or not?"
Lin Ze's anger made these battle-experienced generals tremble all over. Ma Wu lowered his head and said: "My lord, even if you remove me as the commander of the Langya Group Army, I still feel that I will not be wronged. "
Ma Wu answered this, and Lin Ze became even more angry. He continued to crack the whip on Ma Wu's armor, and the whip broke. He kicked him to the ground and said: "Ma Wu, the Langya Group Army, the Langya Group is My first regiment, you guys fought a lot of tough battles with me, how amazing is that? Arrogant soldiers and crazy generals, with 200,000 troops, I don’t know what you believe anymore? I want you to start cooperating with the Thor Group Army Damn, how did Zhang Ji get in? I'll chop you up right now!"
Lin Ze was about to draw his sword immediately. Huang Zhong and Wei Yan rushed over and held Lin Ze down. Wei Yan said: "My lord, please don't do anything. This is not General Ma Wu's fault."
Lin Ze said: "Don't pull me, the Langya Group Army is widely rumored all over the world. In addition to my Yi Cong troops, Langya is the best in the world. A bunch of deaf and blind people. Zhang Ji's 60,000 people have all arrived in Nanyang. This news needs Cao Cao." Report to me, they have all arrived at the door of the house. Now Zhang Ji has other ideas. What if they go all out and massacre the 20 million people in my jurisdiction? We are all three or five-year-old children here. Can you, Ma Wu, bear this responsibility? Even if I chop you off, do you have the face to see our brothers who died fighting for us under the Nine Springs? Tell me! Maybe Zhang Ji is thanking you right now, thank you Ma Wu The grace of not killing!"
Ma Wu's face turned red and white after being scolded, and he lowered his head and did not dare to speak. When he knew that his wife had an encounter with Zhang Ji's army, he became anxious immediately. If it had been some other soft-footed shrimp, he would have wiped his neck and committed suicide. , but his skills were all taught by Lin Ze. Lin Ze is like his father. He must take up this responsibility and kill Zhang Ji.
Ma Wu said: "Lord, please stop scolding me! Within ten days, I will deliver Zhang Ji's head to you with my own hands!"
Lin Ze's eyes turned cold and he said, "Ten days? Zhang Ji should have died long ago!"
Ma Wu said: "Three days! Within three days, I will chop off Zhang Ji's head!"
Lin Zedao: "As you said, I'm waiting for you here. If you can't defeat Zhang Jilai, you can raise pigs for me in the Langya Army!"
Ma Wu did not dare to look into Lin Ze's eyes, so he turned back and mounted his horse, shouting: "The scouts go first, let me find out Zhang Ji's location, the whole army, follow me to the battlefield within a day!"
Ma Wu only brought 50,000 soldiers and horses, which was just the right number. If there were less, it would be difficult to fight, but if there were too many, it would limit the mobility. Ma Wu is handsome and he knows how to fight best.
Fifty thousand horses galloped away, leaving a trail of smoke and dust.
After walking far away, a smile that no one could see appeared at the corner of Lin Ze's mouth.
Zhang Ji had indeed died a long time ago. His historical trajectory was that he died at the hands of Liu Biao. Liu Biao was killed by himself, so he lived for a few more days. But for people like this who live longer because of Lin Ze, They will all become trouble for Lin Ze.
Lin Ze would not take Zhang Ji seriously. If he hadn't run so fast, he would have been killed by him, but now he can beat him a hundred times.
To kill him, all he had to do was give an order to Zhao Qi or Ma Wu. This trip was really to give Cao Cao some face. Secondly, he knew about Cao Cao's killing of the three sages in Wancheng. It didn't matter if others died. Dian Wei is his big brother, he cannot die.
He was afraid that Heaven would be ruthless and would really spare Zhang Xiu's life and go to Wancheng, so he wanted to watch it personally.
There is another important reason. Zhang Ji has Jia Xu next to him. Jia Xu is called a poisonous man by later generations. His methods are dark and ruthless. If he doesn't keep an eye on him personally, he might cause some trouble.
Few people can guess this idea.
Liu Jin'er, who arrived in Lujiang, soon learned about Lin Ze's outburst in Xi County. Xu Mao felt aggrieved for Ma Wu and said: "A wise man will make mistakes every time he thinks about it. You don't need a heavy hammer to play a drum. Just say a few words." I received more than fifty lashes."
Liu Jin'er was not at all as gentle as when she was at home or around Lin Ze. She was tainted with Lin Ze's unruffled domineering attitude and said, "How can you guess my lord's thoughts? If you say such words again, Be careful you get whipped too! I’ll pretend I didn’t hear what you said today. If it happens again, I won’t spare you!”
Xu Mao immediately didn't dare to say anything. In fact, he regretted it as soon as he said it. He felt aggrieved for Ma Wu. How could he say it in front of his wife and military advisor?
Xu Mao felt this way because he put himself in someone else's shoes and thought that whoever was in Xixian County would not notice an enemy sneaking in quietly and doing no evil.
Liu Jin'er looked at Guo Jia and said, "Sir, I am here personally to ask about Xiao Qiao. What is her condition now?"
Guo Jiadao: "Whoever has a knife in his hand can say it, and it's okay to rob people, but I'm afraid Zhou Yu will make a big statement here. My lord raped people's daughters in Lujiang River. My lord said that the people are like water, and the king is like a boat. Water is like a boat." He can carry a boat but he can also capsize it, so we cannot let my lord have such a bad name."
Liu Jin'er thought for a while and said: "This kind of thing is really embarrassing, sir, but in the eyes of us women, it's easy. We are afraid of people saying anything about men and women, and spreading the news to the outside world. Xiao Qiao and our husband." After a song of love, Duke Qiao was afraid of Zhou Yu's nobles and wanted to beat the mandarin ducks. Even so, my lord has no use in forcing him. Sir, you have written a good article and let the people of Lujiang and even Jiangdong spread it word of mouth."
Guo Jia thought briefly and said: "Madam, it's a good plan. With this incident as a foreshadowing, we will use Lu Kang's incident to completely ruin the reputation of the Zhou family and the Sun family. My lord is really miraculous. For thousands of years, he can Among the monarchs who know how to take advantage of the people, my lord is the first."
Liu Jin'er said: "In the words of my husband, this is called a war of public opinion."
Xu Jiaojiao saw that Liu Jin'er looked a little tired and said: "Military advisor, general, my wife is tired from traveling and traveling, and she is intercepted by thieves. Let's rest first. We will discuss the matter of Xiao Qiao with everyone tomorrow."
Xu Jiaojiao helped Liu Jin'er to the house prepared for Lin Ze. Li Zimu personally led the guard. Protecting Liu Jin'er was the only mission of Li Zimu's 20,000 troops.
After Liu Jin'er left, Guo Jiacai said to Xu Mao: "How can you pry into my lord's mind? Let me tell you, among all the generals, only Ma Wu is the most handsome, and the second is Ling Yun. You are the most talented in civil and martial arts." Third, of course, you don’t need a heavy hammer to beat the drum, but do you know that the lord is just beating the ma five and didn’t warn all the generals to guard against arrogance and impetuosity?”
After Xu Mao heard this, he understood that it was actually an unintentional mistake to be fidgety, but he didn't expect it to be such a big stupid thing.
Guo Jiayu said earnestly: "Xu Mao, don't be too simple. As a minister, you should be loyal to serve the king and wise to protect yourself.
In the past, Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty used the power to conquer the world, so it was not the power of one person, but Xiao He, Han Xin, and Zhang Lianggai were among them. The world is established, but it is not free from doubts. So Zhang Liang used gods to support himself; Xiao He used caution to protect himself; Han Xin used unparalleled achievements to advance or retreat without knowing anything.
In today's world, no one can compare to our lord in terms of ingenuity and great achievements, and no one can surpass him in merits. However, our lord is a man of good temper. If you have something to say, you can say it to his face, and any comments behind his back will reach his ears. In China, there will inevitably be gaps between monarchs and ministers. "
Xu Mao was panicked and said, "What if Madam told the Lord?"
Guo Jiadao: "Don't worry, Madam is an open-minded person. She handled this matter well, but remember, a person can speak clearly in three years, but it takes a lifetime to learn to shut up. Wait for me to write What a great fate between Xiao Qiao and my lord, you take it back and make sure to spread this poignant story in Lujiang City."
After doing these things, Guo Jia also began to pay attention to Zhang Ji who had wandered near Shouchun.
Zhang Ji is nothing. The scary thing is that after Zhang Ji and Li Jue parted ways, Jia Xu didn't despise what Li Jue did and followed Zhang Ji. Zhang Ji was not very capable, but Zhang Xiu was Tong Yuan's apprentice and was extremely powerful. .
Ma Wu may have met his opponent this time.
How fierce Jia Xu is, the world's most label for him is a poisonous person. He is more than just a poison, he is simply full of tricks. Lin Ze saw Chen Shou in "Three Kingdoms" and even compared him with Zhang Liang and Chen Ping.
Jia Xu also wrote books and established theories, including a volume called "Chao Sunzi's Art of War" and annotated "Wu Qi's Art of War".
Zhang Ji wanted to come to Lin Ze for revenge, but Jia Xu was against it because he knew who he was and what he knew. He was not sure he could deal with Guo Jia, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and Chen Gong. It was difficult for him to deal with them. In addition, he had a strange vision of the situation. Lin Ze, no one has ever been able to take advantage of him, and Zhang Ji is looking for death.
When he met Liu Jin'er, Jia Xu thought it was an opportunity, but when Li Zimu's 20,000 soldiers and horses suddenly appeared, Jia Xu knew that there was no hope. If he didn't leave, he would be eaten.
He couldn't persuade Zhang Ji, but he had to think of a way out, give Zhang Ji advice, go deep into the tiger's den, and have no worries. Zhang Ji's family members were too much in the way, so they should be taken to a safe place and protected by Zhang Xiu. That's safe.
So Zhang Ji divided his troops into two groups. Zhang Ji continued to lead 30,000 people around here, while Jia Xuze and Zhang Xiu continued to retreat to Nanyang and tried to find a way to retreat to the vicinity of Luoyang. In this way, the two armies were like horns and became even more powerful. safe.
In fact, this is Jia Xu's escape route. Zhang Ji must die. His escape route is to persuade Zhang Xiu to surrender to Cao Cao.
Li Jue abandoned it when he said it was abandoned, and sold it when Zhang Ji said it was sold. This is evident of Jia Xu's poison...
