.    Chapter 340: Rumors are terrible

    Originally, General Zhang Fei had been waiting for the soldiers and horses from Guangling to arrive, but there was no movement day by day, and the spies sent to Guangling also sent back news that there had been no changes in the soldiers and horses stationed there, and they were still training every day.  It seemed as if he didn't know something happened in Tancheng.  Rainbow*wen£¤ihong didn't come when he was expected, but ten days later another army of soldiers and horses appeared outside the north gate of Tancheng.

    Zhang Fei and others had known about the Cao family's invasion of the border a few days ago, but the situation in Xuzhou was unclear and they did not send troops to stop the enemy at the border intersection of Xu, Yu, and Yanzhou. This left Xiahou Dun without any hindrance.  They came to the seat of Xuzhou Prefecture.

    Standing on the top of the city and looking down, the appearance of several generals of the Cao family came into view. Whether it was Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong, or Le Jin, they all looked like generals. Taishi Ci sneered and said, Cao Cao's generals are not marching very slowly, let's wait.  Listen to what he says"

    Just as Taishi Ci whispered to the people around him, Xiahou Dun also raised his head and looked towards the city. He took a few steps forward from his horse, swung his weapon horizontally, and shouted coldly to the city guard. Listen, this is Xiahou Dun, the general of Yanzhou.  I came here to rescue the pottery merchant on the order of my lord.  What you are doing to rob Xuzhou is really an act of banditry. Get out of the city quickly and die."

    Xiahou Dun¡¯s words may have been ordinary, but these words took advantage of the great righteousness. After all, he was leading the troops in the name of the leader of the Tao family.  Zhang Fei and the others on the city wall were angry after hearing this, and they were all thinking about how to teach the invading enemy in front of them.

    Although Zhang Fei wanted to fight, he was stopped by Tai Shi Ci, who slowly shook his head and whispered that Cao's army had just arrived with great momentum, so he should avoid his sharp edge today and worry about it tomorrow.  "Zhao Yun, who was standing on the right, was not there. He was just looking straight at the infantry at the foot of the city, seeming to be thinking about how to win when his white horse cavalry faced the enemy.

    After so many years of battlefield experience, Zhang Fei's bad temper has improved a lot. After being stopped by Tai Shi Ci, he gave up the idea of ??leaving the city immediately. He stood still and sneered at Xia Houdun.  The whole city knows that he died without mourning.  You conspired with it, but you found a target."

    "Stop talking nonsense, attack the city with the whole army." Xiahou Dun saw that the generals at the top of the city had no intention of coming out, so he solemnly ordered an attack.  Teams of soldiers rushed forward carrying ladders, and the carriages were also pushed out.

    The soldiers under the city attacked hard, but Tai Shici laughed. He waved his big hand and all the crossbowmen under his command stood still. Nearly two thousand crossbowmen opened their bows and fired, and their arrows rushed towards the enemy soldiers a hundred steps away from the city.

    "Raise your shields and move forward." The bows and arrows from the top of the city were fired. Xiahou Dun was already prepared. The groups of shield soldiers following the siege soldiers quickly raised their strong shields high to block the soldiers beside them.  An attack on the top of the head.

    Since Xiahou Dun ordered to attack the city, he naturally relied on it. His soldiers were blocked from advancing forward, but he waved his right hand again and led to more than ten trebuchets.  In a battlefield without thermal weapons, the threat of trebuchets to city sieges is undoubtedly huge.  Seeing such a sharp weapon under the city, even the confident Taishi Ci couldn't help but frown.

    ¡®Whoosh!¡¯ A boulder weighing ten kilograms flew towards the city. Although no soldiers were lost due to lack of accuracy when they first entered the battlefield, the soldiers guarding the city, especially the Xuzhou soldiers, were frightened.  When a stone fell into the city, it brought up countless stone and wood chips. Many soldiers couldn't help but think about what would happen if the stone hit them.

    "The momentum was suppressed by the soldiers and horses under the city." Zhang Fei and the other three are famous generals who have been remembered for centuries, and their battlefield reading skills are not bad.  The moment the catapults appeared, trouble came to Ziyi. You and Zilong are here to defend the city. I will go out and destroy those catapults, otherwise the morale of the soldiers at the top of the city will be dissipated.  "

    Zhao Yun nodded slowly on the side, but Taishi Ci shook his head and chuckled at such a trivial matter. He Laoyide personally took action to see Yuan Rong's power.  "In response to Zhang Fei simply, Taishi Ci passed the order to the hundreds of Yuanrong crossbowmen around him. After receiving the order, all the soldiers fired their crossbows one after another, aimed at the trebuchet and pulled the trigger repeatedly.

    Being able to stand out among the soldiers under Zhen Yao's command, the Yuanrong Crossbows are not only because of the good equipment in their hands, but their own strength cannot be ignored.  As the crossbows flew, the soldiers of the Cao family guarding the trebuchets were killed one by one. Even the soldiers controlling the trebuchets were killed or injured, which caused half of the trebuchets to go silent for a moment.

    "Okay, good shot." Yuan Rong's crossbowmen showed off their power, and the soldiers on the top of the city also breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhang Fei even clapped his hands and applauded Xiahou Dun. You want to attack this strong city with such despicable means?  It¡¯s better to retreat obediently, lest you die at the hands of our soldiers.¡±

    The catapult was a hundred and fifty steps away from the city head. Such a far distance was already the farthest distance for the catapult to attack the city head, but he did not expect that there was such an accurate shooting hand on the city head. He could point almost anywhere.  After all, even an ordinary and kind-hearted small school is nothing more than this.

    Although the catapult failed to achieve any success, it finally attracted many soldiers on the city wall.This force also gave the infantry charging forward a chance. After quickly approaching the city, they erected the ladder and began to climb up.

    "You and I each take one place, and we must keep these soldiers outside the city." After Zhang Fei gave instructions to Tai Shici in a deep voice, he raised his spear and stepped forward. The snake spear thrust toward the outside of the city and brought up  With a flash of scarlet color, a soldier who had just climbed to the top of the ladder fell powerlessly from the city wall.

    There were three generals guarding the top of the city. The effect of this extravagant act was quickly seen on the top of the city. In the next hour, even if the siege soldiers fought desperately, no one could touch the stone bricks on the top of the city.  Even more foolishly, he stood still at the top of the city.

    In the blink of an eye, the sun has climbed above everyone's heads, and noon has arrived.  Xiahou Dun had issued successive orders since the beginning of the war, but had not made any changes since then. This morning, apart from a lot of corpses piled up outside the city, very little was gained. He and Le Jin looked at each other and waited.  After the latter nodded slowly, he coldly uttered the words "withdraw troops"

    The soldiers outside the city gradually retreated. Zhang Fei wiped the sweat from his face, and finally a smile appeared on his face. The soldiers at the top of the city also cheered in unison. After all, they won this battle, and they defeated the invading enemies outside the city.  Return.

    Hearing the bursts of laughter coming from behind, Xiahou Dun was furious, and veins popped out in his right hand holding the big knife, showing the anger in his heart at this moment.  No matter how angry he was, it was useless. The fact that the siege failed could not change.

    "Let's go." Zhang Fei laughed a few times. Zhang Fei was quite satisfied with this short battle. There were still many troops on his side that had not been dispatched, leaving these Yanzhou soldiers at a loss. It seems that holding Xuzhou securely was not what he imagined.  So difficult.

    Zhen Yao, who was in Wuji at the moment, naturally didn't know that Zhang Fei had already had a confrontation with the general of the Cao family. He was still immersed in many political affairs in Wuji.  And what troubled him the most in the past few days was the rumors that were getting worse.

    Chen Lin frowned and told the news about her lord. There were many unscrupulous people in the city. She said that after several great victories, her lord's temperament changed drastically. He was addicted to his wife and was no longer the prefect.  .  "The eyebrows are quite worried, and people's words are scary. Although these rumors cannot hurt Zhen Yao at all, they are sharper than the attack of a sword.

    Zhen Yao was not deaf, so the rumors in the city became more and more evil during this period. At first, they were just gossips. Zhen Yao was not alert at that time. He just thought that the soul of gossip was burning in ordinary people's leisure time, so he just laughed it off.  Accept.

    Who would have known that in a few days, the news would become even more outrageous, with some saying that they only care about their wives and children regardless of government affairs, and some saying that they only care about hooking up with wives and concubines at home to have fun. Some people have even pointed the finger at whether Jizhou can still be safe now.

    When this series of things happened, no matter how stupid Zhen Yao was, he knew that someone was secretly against him.  No, Chen Lin was asked to collect these unfavorable words, and all the scribes under his command came.  After looking at his subordinates, Zhen Yao asked what you all thought of this matter.  It's all in vain, who on earth would use such despicable means to deal with me?  "

    Xu You frowned, bowed and said, Lord, now is not the time to investigate the person behind this.  Wuji is the place where the lord started his business, but now there are rumors everywhere. Although most of the people don't believe his words, every family is talking about it.  As for Wuji, you can imagine the governance of the other counties in Jizhou.  The most important thing now is to dispel this rumor and prevent it from spreading anymore.  "

    After Xu You finished speaking, Chen Lin also agreed. If this rumor spreads for one more day, the impact on Zhen Yao would be immeasurable, so she had to say with a dark face: "In your opinion, how should you refute the rumor?"  "

    Hearing this, Guo Jia stepped forward to report back to his lord. The top priority now is to send out his subordinates to catch the unscrupulous people spreading rumors in each city, so as to eliminate the source of the rumors. Secondly, the lord can go out for inspections in the city. Right now is the time.  During the busy season in the farmland, if the Lord takes action personally, the rumors will be disproven and the people will respect the Lord even more.  "

    "Thirdly, with this rumor, the lord has an excuse to launch troops. In Jia's view, the war in Xuzhou cannot be quelled by Zhang Fei and others alone. After all, the lord will need to go there in person. When the rumors in Jizhou subside, the lord  Then you can personally lead the troops and horses to Xuzhou."

    Guo Jia is indeed a conspirator. A difficult matter that has already affected Zhen Yao's reputation and reputation seems to have become a trivial matter between him.  Three simple things could not only reverse Zhen Yao's unfavorable situation, but also bring greater benefits to Zhen Yao. This may not have been expected by the person behind the rumors.

    After Xu You saw Guo Jia finished speaking, he added that the Lord might be able to take advantage of this rumor to clean up Jizhou again.  The lord ordered you to clean up the gentry and gentry in Jizhou, but there are still some that have not been dealt with, so we just take this opportunity to rectify them.  "

    Zhen Yao nodded after hearing this. The impatience on his face receded, but a little smile appeared on his face. Saying this, Yao has to thank this person.?Are you secretly dealing with my guy?  Without him, none of these things would be possible.  " These words resonated with everyone in the city, and everyone looked at each other and laughed.

    With a solution to the problem, Zhen Yao did not need to take action for the remaining operations, so Zhen Yao hurried back home with some relief.  I have been quite upset by the rumors these days, and now I can finally have a good dinner.

    After returning to the house, Zhen Yao quickly walked back to the small courtyard after telling his worried second brother that the matter had been resolved.  Zhang Ying and his daughters were resting in the courtyard at the moment. When they saw their husband, they quickly got up and came forward. Her husband's demeanor had improved quite a bit today, but the matter had already been revealed?  "

    Zhen Yao was attacked by rumors. Apart from his subordinate Wen Wu who was most concerned about this matter, Zhang Ying and his daughters were also very concerned about it.  They, Zhen Yao, had not looked good in the past few days, but now he could actually laugh. It was obviously that things had changed, and the women couldn't help but feel happy for Zhen Yao in their hearts.

    "Yes, this matter can't trouble me Zhen Yao after all." Zhen Yao shamelessly took the credit for Guo Jia's work, and Zhen Yao told the solution to the matter one by one.  The girl was also a rare witty person, and she immediately understood that there was finally a solution to this verbal attack.

    Zhen Yao felt relieved, and the mood of Zhang Ying and his daughters also improved. In the past few days, they had been worried about Zhen Yao's troubles.  Although the matter has not been solved now, at least a solution has come out. He stepped forward and took Zhen Yao's arm and smiled. "Now you can eat in peace." The concubine will have the food delivered to the hospital.  "

    "What happened this time, husband, you have to restrain yourself." Everyone's mood improved, but Diao Chan made a joke about Zhen Yao. Don't let anyone see you going to the fence place again, otherwise you won't be able to clean it.  Lost.  "

    "Humph, you are still making fun of me," Zhen Yao pretended to be angry, stretched out his right hand and pulled Diao Chan into his arms, and then said, "Let's see how my husband will enforce the family law to punish you." After saying this, he lowered his head.  Go down and touch Diaochan's cheek, kissing her heavily.

    "Don't~~wuwu~~" Diao Chan still wanted to resist, but before she could say anything, Zhen Yao sealed her lips tyrannically. After that, Beiqi's defense was also broken, and her smooth tongue was immediately caught by him.  , simply squinted his eyes and started enjoying it.

    "Husband, stop fooling around, the children are all here." Although they are an old couple, Zhang Ying and his wife still blush easily. Seeing Zhen Yao and Diao Chan making out, they quickly said to Hao'er and the others are still young, so don't teach them.  Break them¡±

    Hearing this, Zhen Yao angrily let go of his beloved wife in his arms and glanced at the little ones. He saw Zhen Hao pulling Zhen Tian and Zhen Yi to look at Diao Chan. His bright eyes were wide open, filled with  A vivid sense of curiosity and confusion.  After waving to the little ones, Zhen Tian shouted "Daddy" angrily and walked away.

    Holding the two little ones in his arms, Zhen Yao turned to look at Zhang Ying. Where was Anger?  No sign of him?  "

    Zhang Ying smiled and said that Ang'er was playing with his two little aunts in the side hall, and he would probably do it after dinner.  My husband just said that he was going on a trip in a few days, why not take us with him?  We can also refute rumors for your husband."

    "You guys are going too?" Zhen Yao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but when he saw the expectant looks of Zhang Ying and his wife, he thought that these lovely wives had been neglected in the past few days due to rumors, so he could only nod his head and said, "Let's call more people together."  Go ahead and treat it as a spring trip.  "

    Seeing that Zhen Yao agreed, the girls were naturally very happy. Naturally, the night was full of entertainment and passion, and Zhen Yao almost couldn't get up the next morning.

    Xu You and others acted very quickly, and soon many suspicious persons were taken into Wuji's cell. After these people were arrested, there were obviously fewer rumors in the city.  The other prefectures and counties also received the order and began to dispatch outposts to search out the secrets hidden in various places.

    After ten months, the news that Zhen Yao was traveling with his beautiful family spread like wildfire. However, to everyone's expectation, Zhen Yao's trip was not for fun, but for work in the city. Even the inspection location was unknown.  It is farmland and cultivated land in various places.

    The north is not as good as the south, but cultivating dry fields requires more energy. On the first day of Zhen Yao's patrol, his hands and feet were numb from exhaustion.  As the sun went down in the west, many farmers also left the fields. Zhen Yao threw away the farming tools in his hands and took a deep breath regardless of his appearance. He wondered if he had neglected to exercise now. After half a day of farming, he was exhausted. Even if he had sex recently, he was exhausted.  It is difficult for one to defeat three.

    "As a prince of the Han Dynasty, why does he have to do the farming himself?" The beautiful eyes of Da Qiao, who was resting by the field not far away, fell on Zhen Yao from time to time. In his heart, he couldn't help but think about the people of Jizhou with such a diligent and caring Zhou Mu.  What a blessing.  "

    "My lord, let's rest in front today." Guo Jia left at this time. Although he also wanted to work with Zhen Yao, his small body might not be able to walk after carrying the farming tools.He could hide aside and watch. Now that the day's farming work was over, he stepped forward and said that the guards had secured the camp, and there was no danger as the soldiers patrolled around.  "

    "Then let's rest here," Zhen Yao stood up with the handle of the big hoe in his hand. Looking at the muddy appearance, he couldn't help but chuckle and said that he had not farmed for a while, but he didn't want to be too rusty in his craftsmanship.  You can have your meal first and then go and wash yourself.  "

    Walking out of the farmland, Zhang Ying and Diao Chan stepped forward to help their husband's left and right arms. Seeing this, Zhen Yao waved his hands slightly. He was dressed in filth. If they were allowed to be next to each other, they would not be able to change. Such a wild woman would not be allowed to change.  But it was very inconvenient, so he immediately stretched out his arms and walked with everyone to the camp not far away with a smile.

    Zhen Yao took a bath very quickly, but within a short time he had changed into clothes and appeared in front of the big tent. Looking at the bonfire rising in front of the tent, he could smell the hot roux fragrance in it, and his appetite immediately whetted his appetite.  Who made the soup? It smells so good.  "

    After Zhen Yao finished speaking, he saw several women looking at Da Qiao, but Xiao Qiao proudly raised her nose. This is soup made by herself, which is helpful for restoring strength. Hum, usually even  I rarely cook, and even I rarely get to drink soup made by myself.¡±

    Zhen Yao¡¯s eyes lit up. Just now he was wondering if Zhang Ying¡¯s cooking skills had improved, but he didn¡¯t expect that it was Da Qiao who cooked it.  But none of this mattered to Zhen Yao. Anyway, he was exhausted after a day of farm work. He stepped forward and ignored the coldness of the soup. He picked up the spoon and poured a ladle into his mouth.
