Chapter 389

The prefect of Jiangxia was originally Huang Zu, and this guy who liked arts and elegance killed Ni Heng here. When he was the prefect, he held a banquet to entertain guests. The old decorations and layouts still had a bit of literary atmosphere. Since Xiahou took office, he has replaced all these flashy things.

Xiahou said that it had a bit of Xiahou Dun's simple style back then. There were only a few black chairs in the living room, and four floor-to-ceiling bronze lamp holders were placed in each corner, that's all. Zhang Feng and the other three took their seats, and even brought a wooden pier from outside to put tea.

"Since claiming that he has been busy with everything, the mansion is simple, I hope my uncle will forgive me." Xiahou took the seat and stared at Sima Yi curiously, guessing his relationship with Zhang Feng.

"Zhong Quan can put state affairs first and do not like extravagance, and will become a great person in the future." Zhang Feng saw that there were few young girls in the house serving him, and only a few old mothers with thick hands and feet. He thought that Xiahou's name was really a strange product, and he was born in Xiahou's family, but he was not good at women.

Even Wei Xu, who had a lame leg, had eight concubines at home.

"I wonder if my uncle is here in person today, what will happen?" Xiahou said that about the matter between Cao and Zhang Feng, he heard some mentions from his father Xiahou Yuan. He knew that Zhang Feng usually travels on weekdays and is not very diligent in doing things. When he comes to find him, he must have something to do.

"It's true that Huang Gai, the general of the Eastern Wu, sent someone to surrender. Everyone thought that this was Zhou Yu's plan, but the King of Wei... did not believe it."

Guo Jia and Sima Yi then understood the reason why Zhang Feng took them to the city. They were both smart people. After a moment of thinking, they knew Zhang Feng’s intention.

This kid's reaction was really fast. He couldn't walk one way, and he immediately thought of another way, and it was amazing.

So he smiled and tasted tea to see how Zhang Feng said the words.

Xiahou raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

Of course he heard about Huang Gai. Even at his teenage years old, he felt a little incredible. For example, will Le Jin, Li Dian and others surrender to others?

What's more, Huang Gai was a veteran of the three dynasties. The nostalgia of the ancients was not ordinary. After struggling in Jiangdong for decades, he suddenly had to change places. If it were not a last resort, the possibility of this was basically very small.

"The King of Wei did not listen to our words. It was because Huang Gai was ill-intentioned. It was a disaster for our 500,000 Cao troops in Jingzhou. Therefore, we came today to find Zhongquan to discuss the solution."

Xiahou felt a strong sense of self-esteem in his heart.

Although he is not old and has extraordinary force, he is not very famous, and has never fought any wars. Now that the great general can come to him personally, it means that he is not regarded as just a nephew, but an equal relationship with colleagues.

But where is the King of Wei...

Everyone around you knows Cao's current stubbornness. His status is getting higher and higher, more and more places to manage, and he is getting older and his time in power is getting longer and longer. These are all "magic medicines" to eliminate enterprising spirit.

Although the King of Wei is optimistic about him and Xiahou Ba, it is just because his surname is Xiahou. If you want to speak in front of the King of Wei, or even advise him to change his mind?

Xiahou smiled bitterly, I'm afraid it's unlikely that Cai Yan, the most favored one, wouldn't it be?

"I agree with what my uncle said. But my nephew said something lightly, so I am afraid that I can't say anything in front of the King of Wei..."

Xiahou said that his little face was a little red. That was because of excitement. Even the world's number one general begged him. How much did he value himself?

But I also know myself. Even a prodigal man like Guo Jia has hit a wall in front of the King of Wei. What are his abilities to call Cao himself?

Cheng Yu said that Guo Jia was unrestrained and had no sense of consciousness. After hearing this, Cao not only did not blame Guo Jia, but instead respected him more. There was no hint of favor, but it could clearly explain Cao's trust in Guo Jia.

Of course, it is precisely because of Guo Jia's seemingly arrogant behavior that Cao feels that he is only beneficial to him but not harmless. Otherwise, if someone with heavy troops in his hands will try the same thing...

Seeing that Xiahou said that even the hair on his face seemed to have a layer of golden glow, Zhang Feng smiled and shook his hand and said, "There is no need for Zhongquan to lobby the King of Wei, but to suggest to the King of Wei that you--" Zhang Feng said this, his tone became firm and decisive, "When this pioneer general who attacked Wu!"

Even if everyone doesn't understand, they still understand what Zhang Feng means.

To put it bluntly, it means saving the country in a curve. Since Cao cannot be persuaded directly, then follow his wishes and find someone who can gain Cao's trust and listen to Zhang Feng's words. Moreover, Xiahou said that he was the prefect of Jiangxia and was on the front line of Wu. Who else could he do if he wasn't?

Moreover, because of Zhang Feng's identity as the son-in-law of the Cao family, he had been in friendship with Xiahou Yuan for many years. Xiahou said that he admired him very much. This candidate couldn't be better.

Guo Jia narrowed his eyes, as if staring at Xiahou, but in fact he was thinking secretly inside.

If Huang Gai really surrendered, if Zhang Feng made a good arrangement, if Zhou Yu's conspiracy was smashed in one fell swoop and he could successfully attack Jiangnan'an...

Another young general appeared in the Cao family. It is no exaggeration to say that he is "creating a god".

Xiahou said he was excited as if he wanted to be appointed as a minister immediately. Although he was confident that he was extremely powerful, he was not a fool. Naturally, he knew what he would do if everything Zhang Feng said went smoothly. Wouldn't he be excited?

Huang Gai, I hope you are really a fraudulent surrender!

The young general didn't want Huang Gai to be truly surrendered at this moment. Even if his reputation could bring more benefits to the Cao army on the battlefield, disintegrate more people's hearts of the Wu army, and consume more combat power. At this moment, he was just a selfish boy shrouded by a promised halo.

"Why is it not Xiahou Ba, but Xiahou Zhu?"

After leaving the prefect's mansion, Guo Jia asked with a smile.

Zhang Feng was very surprised why Guo Jia asked such a brainless question.

Basically, this type of problem mostly comes from the mouths of Cao Hong and others.

So his answer was also very tart.

"Because Xiahouba... is too far away."

There is another reason. I am sorry for his historical life if he doesn’t fulfill the title of Tragedy Brother. Although he shouldn’t have the chance to know in this life.

Poor Xiahou Ba.
