Deng Qiang wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, hesitated for a moment and said: "In the past when I came to Wancheng, I always went to find some singers to play with. Yuan Zhi, look this time, are we..."

A trace of disdain flashed in Xu Shu's eyes, but in order to make this trip correct, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Since that's the case, I'll do it this time as well. What else do you usually do?"

Deng Qiang sat down and recalled slowly.Although he is the captain of Jiyang, he has come to Wancheng too many times. Although the things he does are different each time, the general situation is similar.

Nothing more than eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling.

"It's okay, I'm still pulling some generals around Zhang Xiu to gamble or something."

"Gambling?" Xu Shu suddenly thought of something, clapped his hands and praised, "It's just gambling. Later you go out to find Zhang Xiu's subordinates to gamble. The louder the better, but don't overdo it, understand?"

When it comes to gambling, Deng Qiang became interested.It is probably an amateur to ask him to lead troops to fight, but when it comes to eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, there are not many Jingxiang nine counties who can beat him.

"It's easy to say, easy to say, I will definitely do it properly next time."

Just at night, after Jia Xu left, Zhang Xiu, who was tired all day, was about to take a good rest when he suddenly heard noises coming from the wing room outside.

"Come on."

The guards outside heard the sound and hurried over.

"It's so noisy outside, what are you doing?"

"My lord, Captain Zhang, Captain Chen, Captain Dong and Captain Deng from Jiyang are playing with money."

Now that Cao Jun is under pressure, his life is hanging by a thread, and Zhang Xiu can't sleep for several days.I wanted to have a good night's rest tonight, but I didn't expect these guys to disturb my clear dream, and they were still messing around there.

"Pass my order to the Military Judiciary Department to escort these school lieutenants who gathered for gambling."

A few guards responded, and after a while, there were dense footsteps outside, and then there was a commotion, yelling and shouting, and the noise completely destroyed the tranquility of the night.

Zhang Xiu was wearing unlined clothes and sitting quietly at the door.A few school lieutenants were escorted over with a lot of ties, and they could be seen in the firelight. Their faces were bruised and swollen. It is estimated that during the process of escorting, they had many conflicts with the soldiers of the Military Law Department.

The Military Law Department was originally composed of a gang of ruffians. Before joining the army, these people were fearless masters. It was because of their courage that they could better carry out all the military orders issued by the general.

"You guys are so brave. At what time is it now, you still dare to gather a crowd to gamble." Zhang Xiu's anger that had been pent up for several days was vented on several school captains at once.

The three captains knelt there trembling, not daring to raise their heads to look at Zhang Xiu.Just when his life was hanging by a thread, Deng Qiang walked out from the side unhurriedly.

"Brother Zhang, let's gamble for fun. Why are you so angry? I'll intercede on their behalf. Let's leave this matter alone, how about it?"

Zhang Xiu glared at Deng Qiang. The morale of the whole army was low and there was no way to deal with it. Deng Qiang took the lead in gambling.

"Where is the commander?"

"exist!"

"How about gathering people to gamble in the military?"

"Forty rods."

Zhang Xiu nodded: "A sergeant uses a staff of forty for gambling. As school captains, you know the law and break the law, and the crime is added to the crime. Now you can stick sixty in public. Do you have any complaints?"

Even though the three school lieutenants had 1 dissatisfaction in their hearts, they could only smash their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs, confessing their crimes one after another.

Deng Qiang saw it in his eyes, and was very dissatisfied in his heart. He pointed to Zhang Xiu and complained: "Well, you Zhang Xiu, you don't give me face like this. I will sue you in front of King Shenggong in the future, and let you know that I am a good person. It's amazing."

Zhang Xiu sneered and said, "Okay! I'll wait for you and execute the sentence."

Chapter 106 Jia Xu False Surrender

The news of punishing the third school lieutenant quickly spread throughout Wancheng, and the loose atmosphere in the army also subsided.But before Zhang Xiu could catch his breath, it was reported that Deng Qiang fought with others in a brothel, and finally caused three or four serious injuries to the other party.

The seriously injured person came to Zhang Xiu overnight to deal with justice, and in the end Zhang Xiu personally went out to arrest Deng Qiang and put him under house arrest in the mansion, and then he lay down with peace of mind.

Early the next morning, Jia Xu came to discuss matters, looking at Zhang Xiu's dark circles with some doubts.It's no wonder that Jia Xu has always lived in secluded places, and only returned after leaving the city yesterday, so she really didn't know what happened that night.

When Zhang Xiu told him all about Deng Qiang, Jia Xu, who was always wise, was a little confused.

Is it still human that one person can poke out so many baskets overnight?With such ability, it is estimated that only Liu He, who was abolished by the great general Huo Guang in the early Han Dynasty, has such ability.

"Sir, I can't stand this guy anymore. I can't beat him, I can't scold him, and I have to wipe his ass. I, Zhang Xiu, have been in the world for so many years. When have I ever been so useless?"

Jia Xu sighed: "My lord, be patient for a while, the spies have already been dispatched, and there must be results within three or two days."

"Three or two days? No, I can't bear it for a day."

Jia Xu also knew that what Zhang Xiu said was angry, so he stroked his beard and thought quickly.

"My lord, was Deng Qiang the same in the past?"

"This guy became the school lieutenant by relying on his nepotism. How can he be a gangster? Every time I come to finish it, he eats, drinks, whores, and gambles, but this time, it's probably because I ruined his life." The gambling game spoiled his interest, and then it was estimated that the matter would become so big." Zhang Xiu's face was full of grievances, and he couldn't deal with it, and he couldn't deal with it.A little school lieutenant actually rode on his head to shit and piss, when did he, the "Northern Gun King", live so aggrieved.

Jia Xu stroked his beard, judging the situation during the period.

According to common sense, if a person uses the strategy of feigning surrender, he will definitely not show off his power like Deng Qiang, and he will not take it seriously at all.But if it weren't for the false surrender, all this seemed too smooth.Just when you were worrying about Liangcao, Liangcao took the initiative to find you.

"Mr. is going outside the city. How is Cao Jun doing?"

"Cao's army advanced in three ways. The northern army Xiahou Dun took Luyang and approached Zhixian County; the middle army Cao Cao personally took command and took Ye County first, and the army approached Bowang; the southern army was led by Cao Anmin, and now it has been broken. Du Yang, judging by his posture, he intends to join forces with Cao Cao in Bowang."

"Cao Anmin! Is this guy here too?"

Jia Xu nodded slightly. In just one year, he had completely failed to understand the young man he had saved.

If Runan's battle with the Yellow Turban was just a small test, then Baihe Zhishui, Jianghuai's battle with Sun Ce and Liu Biao would have performed very unusually.Fortunately, this person has an old relationship with him. Even if Wancheng is breached, I believe that I and my family will not be in any danger.

"This is troublesome. Cao Cao is easy to deal with, but this is Cao Anmin. Can you do something?" Zhang Xiu's eyes kept scanning Jia Xu.Even though a year has passed, Zhang Xiu is still brooding over Jia Xu's secret release of Cao Anmin.Now that you are in trouble, I want to see if Jia Xu has any good strategies for retreating.

"Missing Luyang and other places was within our expectations. Bowangzhi County can also be discarded, but Xi'e must not be thrown to Cao Cao, otherwise we will lose the risk of Yushui, and our army will be in a much more difficult situation. .”

"But our army only has 4 people. If 4 people want to defend Yushui, it may be very difficult."

Jia Xu thought for a moment and said, "If you defeat Cao Jun, there is another plan. I wonder if my lord is willing to use it?"

"What's the plan?"

"A trick to surrender."

"What, Wen He, are you crazy? Before we feigned surrender to Cao Cao, we killed Cao Cao and defeated him. Now if we use this trick again, how can such a wise man as Cao Cao believe it?"

Jia Xu smiled and replied: "Believe it or not is not with us, but with Cao Cao. Now that the enemy is outnumbered, we can only resort to the tactic of feigning surrender and leading Cao's army into Yushui. Drown Cao's army."

Zhang Xiu thought about the feasibility of this plan, and finally shook his head: "Even if Cao Cao believes in us, the fertile water is slow, how can he drown Cao Jun. No, this plan will not work."

Jia Xu shook his head: "Cao Cao can't be drowned with the current water flow alone, but if we block the river channel and make the river water all crowded together, once the river channel is dug, even if we can't wipe out Cao Cao completely, I believe we can kill half of Cao Cao. "

Zhang Xiu was ecstatic when he heard the words, so he arranged for the soldiers to prepare for action, while Jia Xu crossed the river in plain clothes and went to see Cao Cao in person.
