Chapter 280

A follower of Xu Shu heard the sound outside and quickly walked into Xu Shu's room and asked him for instructions: Sir, listen to the movement outside, the entire capital seems to be in chaos. Do you think we can find a way to get out of the city?

Going out of the city? Hearing the follower say this, Xu Shu couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: Don't say that the four gates are closed at this moment, even if we leave the post station area, we will inevitably bring disaster to ourselves.

After hearing what Xu Shu said, the entourage couldn't help but panic. He asked nervously: Sir, if Li Jue's troops came over, wouldn't we sit and wait for death?

Be calm and restless, there will be no trouble here. Xu Shu had noticed the strange calm outside the inn. He waved his hand to the entourage and said: If Li Jue had to attack us, he would have sent people to the inn. What puzzled Xu was why Li Jue not only did not send troops into the inn, but also sent people to work on duty in the streets and alleys. This is puzzling.

Just as he couldn't figure out the reason, the postman hurried in from outside and said to Xu Shu: Mr. Xu, there is General Yang Ding, anxi outside, asking for a meeting!

General Yang Ding of Anxi? Xu Shu repeated the words of the postman, and secretly recalled Yang Ding's character in his heart. When Li Jue and Guo Si were in chaos in the past, Wang Yun sent Yang Ding to lead his troops to support him. Unexpectedly, after Yang Ding left Chang'an, he not only did not help Lu Bu, but hid aside and secretly expanded his strength. After Li Jue and Guo Si and others killed Wang Yun and occupied Chang'an, he couldn't wait to join Li Guo and Guo. At this moment, he was visiting late at night and must have entered the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble, so Xu Shu quickly stood up and said to the postman: Please welcome!

His kung fu was not very good, so Yang Ding followed the postman with more than a dozen personal soldiers, walked in from outside the postman with great strides, and headed towards the room where Xu Shu lived.

As General Anxi, Yang Ding had a higher official position than Han Zhan, who was named a marquis. Xu Shu, as an envoy of Jizhou, dared not be entrusted and stood outside the house and waited. When he saw Yang Ding coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute: Xu Shu in Yingchuan, met General Anxi!

Mr. Xu was exempted from the gift. Yang Ding hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to support Xu Shu, and said with a smile: Mr. He has been in the capital for several months. I am busy with everything and never came to visit him. Please forgive me.

The courtesy must be something for others. Xu Shu thought of this sentence in his mind and guessed that Yang Ding had made such a low attitude, and he must have something to ask for him. But on the surface, he still pretended to be flattered and said repeatedly: What is the general saying? It should be a villain who came to visit him.

The two of them came to the reception room with laughter and laughter. Without waiting for Xu Shu's orders, the postman immediately sent someone to bring wine and food to the two. Seeing that the wine and food were all set, the postman bowed to the two and said: The wine and food are ready, please ask General Anxi and Mr. Xu to use it slowly. The villain was just waiting outside. If there was anything, he would call in immediately!

After the postman left, Xu Shu bowed to Yang Ding in his seat and asked politely: I don’t know if the general is visiting late at night, but what can I do to teach you?

Yang Ding saw that there were only him and Xu Shu in the house, and the group of personal soldiers he brought were guarding outside the door at this moment, and the idle people could not enter the house easily. Hearing Xu Shu's question, he quickly stood up, bowed to Xu Shu, and said: I'm not to hide it, now that the troops in Jizhou are at the city, the capital is in danger. In order to avoid the destruction of the city, he came to visit the teacher, hoping that the teacher could speak to the Jizhou Mu.

Seeing that Yang Ding had something to ask for, Xu Shu asked calmly: I wonder what the general intends to ask Xu to say to my lord?

When Yang Ding heard Xu Shu's tone of speaking, he seemed to have guessed his origin for a long time, so he said bluntly: Mr. Hope told Jizhou's master that although Li Jue was in the city, his loyal followers were not right. If Jizhou's master could be magnanimous and let everyone know, I believe that many people would turn against each other.

From Yang Ding's words, Xu Shu heard that the other party seemed to have the intention of surrendering, so he asked tentatively: General's words, Xu can convey them to my lord. However, now the city is under high security, and it is probably not easy to leave the city.

Mr. Don’t worry about this. Seeing that Xu Shu was willing to help, Yang Ding’s heart had fallen to the ground. He said to Xu Shu: The general’s troops gathered in the south of the city. I dare not say anything else, but it is still no problem to let one or two people out of the city.

Just as the two were discussing the details, the postman suddenly stumbled and ran in from outside, with a very panic expression. Seeing his expression, Yang Ding asked unhappily: Postman, what happened to you, making you so panic?

When he returned to General Anxi's words, the postman replied respectfully: There was a cavalry commander Wang Chang outside asking for a meeting. After he said this, he couldn't help but look at Xu Shu, as if waiting for him to make an idea.

What, Wang Chang is visiting? When Yang Ding heard the postman say this, the muscles on his face twitched violently. He knew that Wang Chang was one of Li Jue's confidants. If he reported to Li Jue about his arrival at the postman late at night, he would not be able to take it away.

Thinking of this, he also turned his head and looked at Xu Shu, and asked in a panic: Mr. Xu, Wang Chang is Li Jue's confidant. He came to visit late at night, probably because he was instructed by Li Jue. What should we do?

Seeing that a general Anxi was so scared by a cavalry commander under Li Jue, Xu Shu couldn't help but look down on the other party fiercely. However, considering that the other party could still be used for it, he said politely on the surface: General Anxi is too worried. If the captain of the cavalry commander came with Li Jue's order, he would not be so respectful to stay outside the inn waiting for the notification, but rushed in with his troops. Since he came to visit late at night, there must be something important. I think he should invite him in and ask what the matter is.

Hearing Xu Shu say this, Yang Ding took a deep breath, calmed down, and said to the postman standing in front of him: Postman, you haven't heard Mr. Xu's words, why are you still standing here? Why don't you invite the captain Wang Qi in quickly!

After the postman left, Yang Ding, who was always a little nervous, asked Xu Shu in a panic: Mr. Xu, is it really okay to see Wang Chang?

It shouldn't be. Xu Shu shook his head and said: Since Wang Chang was visiting late at night, it seems that he has lost confidence in Li Jue. Instead of burying Li Jue and others with him, it is better to choose another wise master.

As the two were talking, the postman had already taken Wang Chang into the living room. Seeing the personal soldiers standing at the door and Yang Ding who was already sitting in the living room having a banquet with Xu Shu, Wang Chang couldn't help but frown, and then asked coldly: It turns out that General Anxi is also here, is it a coincidence that the general came!

Although Wang Chang agreed to the Sima of the Army to defect to Guo Si, today he saw Li and Guo's soldiers and horses, facing the Jizhou army that had come from afar, they were vulnerable. In less than an hour, the two soldiers were defeated by the Jizhou army. If Li Jue had not run fast, he would have either died in the chaos or been captured alive by the Jizhou army.

In this case, whether it is to continue to stay under Li Jue's command or to join Guo Si, it is not a wise choice. Therefore, after repeated ideological struggles, Wang Chang decided to come to the inn to meet Xu Shu to see if there is any possibility of joining Jizhou. When he saw Yang Ding here, he felt that he was one step late.

As soon as Wang Chang came in, Xu Shu had been observing the other party's expression. But when he saw Wang Chang's surprise expression on his face when he saw Yang Ding, he immediately understood that this person also wanted to go to Jizhou, so he came to him late at night to ask for directions.

He quickly got up to meet him, held Wang Chang's arm, pulled him into it, and said, "It's such a coincidence that I'm drinking with General Anxi. If the Cavalry Commander doesn't dislike it, you might as well sit down and have a drink together."

Wang Chang was not a stupid person. When he heard Xu Shu say this, he immediately guessed that Yang Ding was sitting in the hall, perhaps with his origin. After thinking about this, he suddenly became much more open-minded. After sitting down in the position arranged for him by Xu Shu, he smiled and said: So, I'll beg Mr. Xu.

After the wine and food came up, Xu Shu picked up the wine bottle in front of him, signaled to the two of them, and said: General Anxi, Cavalry Commander, please! After that, he raised his head and drank the wine in the bottle.

After drinking the wine in the bottle, he looked at the two of them with the wine bottle. After they finished drinking, he spoke: Xu knew the origin of the two. Xu could also convey his thoughts to the Jizhou Mu.

When they heard Xu Shu say this, both of them showed joyful expressions on their faces. Xu Shu continued to say: Judging from the current situation, it is only a matter of time before the war in Jizhou breaks the city. I wonder how you two plan to assist our war in Jizhou to obtain this city?

The two people who were still full of joy were silent after hearing Xu Shu's words. Yang Ding looked up at the beams of the roof, as if there was something that attracted him; while Wang Chang lowered his head and looked at the empty wine bottle in front of him. It seemed that after looking at it for a while, fine wine could emerge from the empty space.

Seeing that the two of them didn't say anything, Xu Shu stood up and said: If you don't want to help me with the soldiers in Jizhou, how can Xu say good things to you in front of the lord after breaking the city in the future?

Xu Shu didn't speak loudly, but it was like a heavy hammer hitting the two of them. The two of them were all over and turned their eyes to Xu Shu again, and at the same time they thought seriously in their hearts: What should I do to help the Jizhou army seize the capital?

After a while, Wang Chang stood up and said to Xu Shu: Mr. Xu, I am responsible for the defense of the west of the city. To be honest, Guo Si sent someone to the camp to persuade me to surrender. An hour ago, he also sent someone to the city to find me, saying that as long as I open the city gate, I will be able to protect my glory and wealth and worry-free for the rest of my life.

After Wang Chang finished speaking, Xu Shu asked with a smile: I wonder how the Cavalry Commander considered it. Should he open the city gate and welcome Guo Si's troops into the city?

Wang Chang shook his head and said: If the Jizhou army defeated Li and Guo, maybe the lower side would listen to Guo Aduo's words and open the city gate in the dark to welcome his troops into the city. But now, unless the Jizhou army is outside the city, the lower side would never open the city gate.

Seeing Wang Chang's statement, Yang Ding hurriedly said: That's right, this general also considered this. If it weren't for the fact that there were many former subordinates of Li Jue in the south of the city, maybe this general would have opened the city gate and welcomed the Jizhou army into the city when Guo Si's army was defeated.

Although Xu Shu has been staying in the inn, he still understands clearly through special channels that the Jizhou army has been attacking the east side, defeating Li Jue outside the north gate, and defeating Guo Si outside the south side. Now the main force of Jizhou is stationed in the east direction, Zhao Yun is in the north side, Huang Zhong is in the south of the city, and only the west direction of the city has no soldiers and horses.

Now that Yang Ding and Wang Chang expressed their willingness to surrender to Jizhou, Xu Shu couldn't help but think in his heart. But now the east and north direction of the city is very cautious, and it is harder to send letters than to climb the sky. Although Yang Ding's troops are in the south of the city, they are monitored by soldiers loyal to Li Jue, and sending messengers out of the city from the south gate is not acceptable. The only option now is to send messengers from the Ximen controlled by Wang Chang to contact Han Zhan and ask him to send troops into the city from the Ximen.

After making up his mind, Xu Shu immediately asked someone to bring the four treasures of the study, and wrote a letter to Han Zhan in front of them, writing about Yang Ding and Wang Chang's intention to join, and discussing how to seize the city in the letter. After writing the letter, in order to prevent the two from being suspicious, he also handed the letter to them for review.

After reading the letter written by Xu Shu, Yang Ding and Wang Chang looked at each other and saw a relieved expression in each other's eyes. Wang Chang said first: Mr. Xu, if you want to send someone to deliver the letter, you will inevitably go out of the city from the Ximen who is controlled by the lower house. I promise you that there will be no danger at all.

Xu really had this intention. When Xu Shu heard Wang Chang say this, he smiled and replied: At that time, he would like to ask the Cavalry Commander to send two personal soldiers to escort Xu's messenger to the camp east of the city.

This is a matter of duty, Mr. Xu doesn't have to worry. Wang Chang said, glanced at the dark sky outside, and then said: It's getting late, will Mr. send a messenger immediately?

Xu Shu understood that Wang Chang was worried that the night was long and dreaming, so he quickly called a follower and handed the letter he had written to the other party, and ordered the follower to leave the city overnight and deliver his letter to the camp.

After Wang Chang finished speaking, he hurriedly said: Mr. Xu, let the messenger go with me. I want to find two trustworthy people to escort him to the camp of the Jizhou Army.

Looking at Wang Chang and the messenger leaving, Xu Shu thought to himself: Wang Chang is Li Jue's confidant. Now even he has a betrayal. It can be seen how unpopular Li Jue is now that he is betrayal of his relatives. However, in this way, the capital will become the treasure of my lord. At most one or two days, the troops in Jizhou can drive into the city.
