Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 394 Praying Mantis and Spider

When Xu Chu heard the word 'lord', a trace of fear flickered in the eyes of this violent and handsome man from Yuzhou.

He glanced at Guo Jia beside him in disbelief, as if he was asking whether he had made a mistake.And when Guo Jia nodded slightly, he immediately sat down on the ground: "Isn't all of this your previous plan?"

"Our plan?" Cheng Yu's mouth twitched with disdain, and he sarcastically said: "Our plan is to let you secretly control Caicheng in your hands, and completely kill the Han army after they enter the urn. But What have you done? You have repeatedly told you that Tai Shici is the general of the cloud platform that the emperor claims, but your eldest brother is still eager to seek merit and reveals his identity without waiting for my order. And you killed your brother without hesitation to avenge your brother As a result, hundreds of people died in battle for nothing!"

Cheng Yu became more and more angry as he spoke, and finally got up and paced around, and shouted to Xu Chuduan, "If you were in the Lord's army, people like you who don't obey the command of the commander would have been punished by our military law long ago! You still have the face to blame us ?”

After Cheng Yu yelled at him angrily, Xu Chu's previous aura had long since disappeared.Recalling that Cheng Yu's words were true, he immediately fell to his knees and said, "It was I who disobeyed the military order and ruined the plan of the two military advisers. I am willing to punish you!"

"Punishment?" Cheng Yu looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and the murderous look on his ruthless face became even more intense: "What's the use of punishing you? You know, the lord is still a courtier in name of a big man after all, It is illegal to enter Yuzhou under the name of Yanzhou Mu, and now you have ruined it completely! If killing you is useful, do you think I will wait until now?"

"Military Master, I am indeed wrong about this matter, but I just didn't expect that the Han army would have three hundred elite cavalrymen." Xu Chu was forced by Cheng Yu to start to use his brain, and after a moment of contemplation, he opened his mouth and said: "Our Xu family's dead man was born as an assassin, and he is the best at assassination. Now that we know the strength of the Han army, as long as we attack at night, we will surely kill the Han army!"

"You still want to seek revenge from the Han army?" Cheng Yu saw that Xu Chu had regretted it, and after all, he had to rely on the Xu family's boss in the Yuzhou border, so he couldn't help softening his tone, but he still remained angry and said: "If you wiped out the Han army in Caicheng, then what you killed was just a group of resurgent Yellow Turban thieves. But if you go out again now, it will be against the Han dynasty. Do you think the two are the same in nature? "

Facing Cheng Yu's aggressiveness, Xu Chu was so crushed that he was sweating coldly, and he didn't even dare to vent his breath.Just when he didn't know what to do, Guo Jia on the side said slowly: "Zhongde's words are wrong. On the border of Yuzhou, we are Xu Jiayong, and the Han army can only be yellow scarf bandits. You Look at that Jia Xu, when did he openly admit his identity?"

After hearing Guo Jia's words, Cheng Yu's figure immediately became fixed, he stroked his beard and meditated for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "That's right, what Feng Xiao said is very true, in the border of Yuzhou, we are Xu Jiayong, and the Han army is just The Yellow Turban Bandit! Xu Jiajia's bravery can wipe out the remnants of the Yellow Turban to ensure the safety of the party, but the Yellow Turban Bandit can only win all the way, not a single defeat!"

"Yes..." Guo Jia leisurely poured himself another glass of wine, but suddenly coughed again and again.Cheng Yu rushed forward to give Guo Jia a pat on the back, and after a blush appeared on Guo Jia's face, he took out a colorful pill from his bosom, swallowed it with wine, and said with a sigh: "And, Jia Xu has never been someone who likes to lose. I think, at this time, he should make a move..."

"What action?" Xu Chu couldn't understand what the two were saying at all. The only thing he wanted at the moment was a chance for him to attack the Han army again.

At this time, a villager suddenly broke into the back hall, kowtowed and said: "Sovereign, a large group of people appeared outside the dock, all wearing filial piety. They have more than a thousand soldiers, and they are aggressive. They threaten to avenge their leader, step on Ping Xujiawu!"

Hearing this man's words, Xu Chu's face brightened immediately, and he got up suddenly: "Tai Shici is dead?! They came just in time, and I was worried that I didn't know how to deal with them. They dared to come to our Wubao to die. Really, there is something in the sky. Eye!" After saying this, even though Xu Chudang wanted to fight the Han army with a weapon, he suddenly remembered that he had disobeyed orders, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Cheng Yu and Guo Jia.

But at this moment, the faces of these two people were very strange.Cheng Yu pulled his beard solemnly, while Guo Jia gently tapped his forehead with his chicken claw-like hand.Although the movements of the two are different, the puzzled expressions on their faces are generally the same.

"It shouldn't be, did the old man Jia Xu take the wrong medicine?" Guo Jia tapped his fingers on his forehead faster and faster, as if he couldn't figure it out: "As early as when Liu Pi conquered the bandits in Runan, each The forces on all sides are already on alert. The battle of Caicheng, everyone knows that this is already the key point of the plan, and the forces of all parties are ready to move. In addition, Tai Shici, a general, is dead... He is not an old man who is acting on his own will But it would be even more ridiculous to say that he can't suppress those yellow turban thieves."

"There is a severe drought in Guanzhong, and the court's relief is already stretched. Even if you count the emperor's several conquests and return with full rewards, it is still impossible to brazenly use force in Yuzhou at this time..." Cheng Yu took Guo Jia's words, and he was also puzzled: "Does Jia Wenhe think that he can dominate the land of Yuzhou with only his three thousand yellow scarf thieves?"

The two said one after another, and couldn't help but look at each other.Suddenly, Cheng Yu tore off one of his beards, and Guo Jia suddenly stopped beating his forehead, and the two said in unison: "Fishing in troubled waters!"

As soon as these words came out, both of them showed a look of sudden realization.Cheng Yu started to walk back and forth excitedly, rubbing his hands together and said, "Jia Xu is called the ghost fox of Liangzhou in vain. I never imagined that he would only come up with such a crude plan now. This time he came at the right time. , the previous arrangement was finally not in vain, and it will be of great use!"

Guo Jia also smiled at the moment, but just as he was about to order Xu Chu to enter the army, he suddenly saw Xu Chu suddenly shrug.Guo Jia blinked, first waved Xu Chu to calm down, and then clapped his hands cautiously.

The next moment, a slender woman slowly walked into the back hall.Xu Chu took a closer look and found that it was the simple-minded Mei Ji just now.The only difference is that at this moment, Mei Ji's face is completely cold, and her figure still maintains a posture of jumping all the time - she is actually a master with unique skills!
Xu Chu couldn't help thinking, if he hadn't held back before, and attacked Guo Jia under the paralysis of Meiji's fading appearance, but she took advantage of the situation and violently attacked, would he be able to retreat safely?

Think carefully.At this moment, Xu Chu looked at Guo Jia and Cheng Yu again, with a trace of caution in his eyes.

However, Xu Chu did not expect that when Guo Jia took a letter from Na Meiji and read it, his expression suddenly became more serious than his own.He handed the letter to Cheng Yu, and he was silent for a while, then he showed a innocent smile like a young man who didn't know his worries, and said to Xu Chu: "General Xu, this is your last chance for revenge. You have to take good care of it.”

Xu Chu clasped his fists and was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Guo Jia waved his hand to stop him. After looking at the silent Cheng Yu, he said, "This time, the general only needs to kill the enemy with all his strength, and he doesn't have to worry about other things. Some things need to be moved." We have already arranged everything for the general."

After saying this, Guo Jia cast a questioning look at that Meiji, but that Meiji didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

"Okay, if that's the case." Guo Jia seemed a little tired at last, got up and clapped his hands and said, "Let's see, Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe, what a Liangzhou ghost fox, he is really capable of!" When he said this, Guo Jia was like a praying mantis that had been dormant for a long time. When the time finally came, he suddenly popped out his scythe, and his strike was sharp without being muddy at all.

However, Guo Jia didn't know that in Caicheng, Jia Xu, who was sipping a cup of tea with a smile, was also asking a mysterious person, "Is everything arranged?"

"Everything is arranged according to the master's instructions." The chubby Duanmu Zhengshuo returned respectfully.

Then, Jia Xu, who was sitting still, stopped talking, and his calm and contented posture was like a sleek and sophisticated spider, showing no trace in the dark and leisurely laying out in the silent place.He waited until his opponent was startled, and found that he was already deeply trapped in the net, and he couldn't break free no matter what.

A young praying mantis, to an old spider...
