The game starts with Cao Cao as the main character, and the beauty sheds countless tears.

Chapter 379 Jia Xu never deceives people! Feng Ji voluntarily enters the Minister's residence?

"General Zhang, I, Jia, have always been an honest man, unlike the likes of Guo Fengxiao, who love to cheat and swindle."

“Jia would never lie or deceive anyone.”

"If you are willing to join my army, I promise you that all the people in the Taihang Mountains will be properly resettled."

"This……"

Zhang Yan looked hesitant.

Firstly, it's widely rumored in the circle that none of Cao Cao's strategists are good people!

Unless Zhang Yan is an idiot, he certainly wouldn't believe such nonsense as "Jia Xu is an honest man".

But if Jia Xu really had a way to settle the families of the Black Mountain bandits in the Taihang Mountains, Zhang Yan would be willing to surrender.

after all.

In a fight to the death, he, not Cao Cao, would definitely lose.

"General Zhang, Jia has already written down the arrangements on this piece of paper."

After saying this, Jia Xu took out a slip of paper from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Yan.

After reading it, Zhang Yan's eyes widened, and she remained speechless for a long time.

“Mr. Jia, if all the people could have land to cultivate.”

"Then who would still want to go up the mountain and become an outlaw?"

"Zhang can hardly be described as a person with lofty ambitions."

"I only hope that Mr. Jia can really do as written on this note and distribute those uncultivated lands to the people in the Taihang Mountains."

Jia Xu laughed and said:

"That's the way it is."

"General Zhang must have heard the news that my lord had incorporated nearly 300,000 Yellow Turban rebels from Qingzhou."

"At that time, my lord's territory was only half of Yanzhou, yet he was confident that he could take in 300,000 Yellow Turban rebels from Qingzhou!"

"Today, my lord is about to become the ruler of the North."

"Even if your Black Mountain has a million people, my lord can still take them in!"

Zhang Yan was deeply moved.

If Jia Xu was just engaging in empty talk, Zhang Yan would definitely think that Jia Xu might be deceiving him.

However, Cao Cao's camp did have a successful case of receiving a large number of civilians!

This undoubtedly gave Zhang Yan a lot of confidence.

but.

Zhang Yan was able to remain in the Taihang Mountains for many years by relying on his cunning and treachery.

He cautiously said to Jia Xu:

"Mr. Jia, I trust your character."

"But this matter is of great importance and concerns the livelihoods of millions of people."

"Zhang's idea is to first send a portion of the people away from the Taihang Mountains and resettle them in batches, what do you think?"

Jia Xu nodded and said:

"The departure of a million people from the Taihang Mountains at once was indeed too chaotic."

"General Zhang's suggestion is excellent."

"How about setting the number of the first batch of people at 100,000?"

"After the resettlement is completed, we will continue to determine the number of people to be released from the mountains in each batch."

Zhang Yan was overjoyed and pulled Jia Xu aside to invite him for a drink.

But when he thought that Jia Xu was a scholar and might not be used to the turbid wine here, he decided to give up.

But the next moment, Jia Xu opened the wine pot on his own and drank it all in one gulp.

"I am from Liangzhou."

"General Zhang, don't let my somewhat hunched appearance fool you."

"But if he were twenty years younger, he could be someone who could fight his way in and out of the battlefield twice!"

Zhang Yan gave an awkward smile.

Yes, you're no longer on the battlefield.

But with one of your strategies, tens of thousands of troops were wiped out!

Suddenly, Zhang Yan seemed to remember something.

This implies that the guards nearby have pulled someone out of the crowd!

"let me go!"

"Zhang Yan! What are you doing?"

Feng Ji was dumbfounded.

You bastard, if you make me face to face with Jia Xu, how am I supposed to survive?

Ignoring Feng Ji's struggles, Zhang Yan cupped his hands towards Jia Xu and said:

"Mr. Jia, this fellow is called Feng Ji, and he is a subordinate of Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi!"

"Hey, isn't this Feng Yuantu?"

"Long time no see. Still hanging around with Yuan Shang?"

Jia Xu gently lifted Feng Ji's chin with his hand.

Previously, when Liu Biao, Kuai Yue, and others attempted to win over Zhang Xiu, Feng Ji was sent as an envoy to Liu Biao.

Feng Ji considered Jia Xu's kidnapping by Kuai Qi as a secondary plot. (See Chapter 244 for details)

Therefore, the two were not strangers.

Not only have I seen it, but I also harbor resentment!

"Wenhe is joking."

"I... just happened to be passing by..."

Before Feng Ji could finish speaking, Jia Xu said quietly:

"Don't worry, I won't kill you."

"Give you two choices."

"First, go and carry out a secret mission with Guo Tu!"

"Second, take up a post in the Ministry of Personnel."

"Um???"

Feng Ji was a little confused.

Feng Ji already knew about Guo Tu's defection to Cao Cao before he was sent as an envoy to Zhang Yan.

After all, Guo Tu's move to send Yuan Tan a thousand miles to their deaths was simply too outrageous.

As a former colleague, Feng Ji laughed heartily at this.

Following Guo Tu on a secret mission looks very dangerous!

He wouldn't choose Feng Ji!

Conversely, the Ministry of Personnel is the core department of Cao Cao's camp!

I've heard that those who can enter the Minister's residence are all outstanding individuals.

After Xun Chen joined Cao Cao's forces, he was able to take a position in the Ministry of Personnel only because of his "brotherly relationship" with Xun Yu.

Damn it!

Am I really that popular?

How could someone with no connection to Cao Cao's camp directly enter a core department like the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat?

Poor Feng Ji, he actually fell for him!

This is because he didn't pay attention to gathering intelligence on a regular basis.

A seasoned opportunist like Wang Ling had long known the "true nature" of the Minister's mansion.

But someone like Feng Ji was completely clueless, thinking the Minister's residence was a good place.

"I, Feng, choose to enter the Minister's residence!"

Feng Ji made a choice that he would regret for the rest of his life.

Years later, when Guo Tu had risen to the highest rank of marquis, Feng Ji was still working as a servant in the Ministry of Personnel.

Therefore, in many cases, choice is more important than effort.

Jia Xu was indeed an honest and kind person.

If it were Su Yu and Guo Jia, those two old guys, here instead.

It seems they'll only offer the option of the Minister's Office!

……

Fifty li east of Wuji

A branch of the Taihang Mountains

At the residence of the poisoner

Upon learning that Zhang had rejected him, Yu Du was furious and immediately mustered his troops to attack Wuji.

"Commander, should we inform King Zhang about the matter of sending troops?"

Yu Du asked a trusted guard beside him.

Yu Du snorted coldly, rubbed the wooden stick against his back a couple of times, and smiled disdainfully:

"Give him face and call him King Zhang."

"If I, Yu Du, hadn't arrived so late, the position of king should have fallen to me!"

Yu Du looked down on Zhang Yan.

They think Zhang Yan, who owns a million-dollar mountain of black sand, just spends all her time hiding in the Taihang Mountains, and is utterly unambitious!

Yu Du often outwardly complied with Zhang Yan's transfer orders but inwardly defied them.

At this moment, he did not want to send someone to inform Zhang Yan, mainly because he was unwilling to share resources with her.

Otherwise, if Zhang Yan insists on taking a share, Yu Du's profits will be much less.

soon.

Yu Du's more than 10,000 troops were ready.

The Black Mountain bandits have over 100,000 able-bodied men, with Yu Du making up one-tenth of them, making them a formidable fighting force.

but.

At this moment, Yu Du was unaware that he had offended someone he should never have messed with!

……

Promise

With their bags packed, all members of the Zhen family were about to embark on their journey to Ye City.

suddenly.

A servant rushed in to report:

"Madam, Yu Du, enraged and humiliated, has gathered his troops and is preparing to attack Wuji!"

The appearance of Zhen's mother, Zhang, changed drastically.

Although the Zhen family is about to leave Wuji.

But Wuji is, after all, the place where the Zhen family has been rooted for many years.

If Yu Du's more than 10,000 troops were to disregard everything and launch a massacre against Wu Ji, it is conceivable that this place would become a river of blood!

"Bastard!"

"Just like Zhang Yan's style, leaving not a single blade of grass behind."

Zhang Ning was furious because he already harbored a grudge against Zhang Yan over the killing of Taiping Dao followers.

Now that they hear that Zhang Yan's commander is about to attack Wuji, they are directly blaming Zhang Yan for this!

Old Yan, thief, was unaware that he had become the scapegoat.

Of course, you get used to taking the blame after a while.

At this moment, the only people present who remained calm were Su Yu, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and dozens of intelligence guards.

"Interesting, I didn't expect anyone to be so eager to throw their life away!"

Su Yu smiled.

At first glance, it seems that the enemy outnumbers us in this battle!

But in reality, Su Yu already had a way to deal with Yu Du.

I just don't know if this has anything to do with Zhang Yan.

If Zhang Yan secretly instigated this, then they will definitely have to pay a price!

(Zhang Yan: I'm more wronged than Dou E!)
