Chapter 138: Jizhou's Affair

After that, Chen Xi and Ju Shou chatted casually about things not related to the military situation. For Chen Xi's thinkin Ju Shou was always a little difficult to understand, but in the end he habitually went with the point of his previous thinking-young & frivolous.

When the sun was about to go down, Chen Xi looked at the clouds in the sky and smiled. After all, their Taishan soldiers are protected by a city, and no matter how good the military camps are, there will definitely be places they can't take care of, such as now.

"Rumble~" A loud thunderous noise sounded, and the thunder and lightning coiled on the dark cloud. Chen Xi used a black cloud to push the cumulonimbus towards the enemy side, but the electric discharge started when he pushed it. It is estimated that it will rain heavily before the thunder comes down.

Fortunately, Chen Xi did it fast enough. Before the heavy rain poured down, he dragged the cloud over, and then the classic half-sun and half-rain appeared. The huge military camp in the west of Nanpi city was directly pouring rain, and the entire Nanpi Ccty had only a few raindrops that fell with the wind.

"Well, it would be very troublesome for you to sneak an attack like this. If you can still attack the city on rainy night, I admire you!" Chen Xi clapped his hands with a smile on his face while looking at the group of Jizhou soldiers panicking in the rain and said jokingly.

After that, as Chen Xi thought, there was no adviser who could disperse the cumulonimbus in that group of military camps. Chen Xi set the cloud there alone. After the heavy rain fell all night, the west of Nanpi city basically became a mud country. Chen Xi felt that it was impossible to attack the city anymore, since the ground became muddy...

Taishi Ci arrived the next day at dawn by forcibly marching overnight. Although dozens of people were left behind, relative to the number of 20,000 people, Chen Xi is already very satisfied. After all, this is the period of the Three Kingdoms, not the period of the Republic of China. These soldiers can already be called tough veterans.

"It seems I was lucky. I didn't encounter any bad luck along the way. Hahaha, Ju Shou was really cautious." Chen Xi said with a smile on his face while standing at the south gate of Nanpi with Ju Shou.

Ju Shou's face was dark as the bottom of the pot after hearing Chen Xi's words. At this time, it would be strange if he didn't know that he had been subjected to Chen Xi's calculations!

"Well, well, it's Chen Xi who is unparalleled in wisdom and planning everything according to my mind!" Ju Shou said. He suppressed the annoyance in his heart and looked at Chen Xi angrily. He did not expect that although he did not know Chen Xi deeply, Chen Xi would have such a deep understanding of his own character.

"I blamed my mouth." Chen Xi's folding fan covered his mouth with a helpless look on his face and said. Then Chen Xi thought about it and said to the guard behind him. "Take good care of Ju Shou, and don't let Ju Shou cause trouble."

After speaking, Chen Xi walked down the city wall. He didn't have the fighting power of Lu Bu and could not jumped directly from the city wall.

"Well, Taishi Ci has arrived. First order the soldiers to rest. We will have a full meal, and then we will move. Jizhou is good at this point. It is very law-abiding. Now the letter asking Yuan Shao ​​has probably arrived in Yuan Shao's hands. But, after Yuan Shao ​​give the order to the prefect of Hejian, we will probably have left the border. To not have the power to make an immediate decision is terrible!" Chen Xi despised Yuan Shao while thinking about many things. This incident will definitely give Liu Bei a shock. A decision must be made on the spot!

The quality of the Taishan soldiers can only said to be average. There are a few who obviously have a wife, but they have gone into other people's homes. Alas, it's really helpless.

"Taishi Ci, Zhao Yun, watch this group of people. They dare to go to other people's homes, don't be polite, give them ten sticks and let them have a little memory. Of course, if the woman is alone and widow, the sergeant will marry her." Chen Xi warned Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci, while signaling them to open their eyes and close their eyes. As long as they don't go too far, let them go. Anyway, we are here to grab food and money. Can the winner not do something bad?

Chen Xi placed a desk on the south gate of Nanpi city and cook tea. Ju Shou, whose face is almost as dark as the bottom of the pot, is feeling the cool breeze from the north, while drinking herbal tea to soothe the mood. Celebrities, even if there is such a huge army, have the demeanor to drink herbal tea at the gate of the city.

"Chen Xi, are you done! Except for the big family and ordinary people, the entire treasury of Nanpi city has been emptied by you. What do you want to do?" Ju Shou said angrily, but he was reluctant to put down the white porcelain cup in his hand.

"Well, if there was more time, I would definitely summon the people, equalize the land, and then exempt them of tax for three years. See how good this is." Chen Xi said nonchalantly and Ju Shou was already sweating coldly.

This kind of method is a proper method of causing chaos. In ancient China, only land is the most important thing to the people. The land that is handed over will never be let go. A piece of land is the lifeblood of the people who eat from the soil. If Chen Xi does as he said, the whole Nanpi will definitely not be peaceful!

"Okay, Ju Shou you will follow me. When we get to my place, we will naturally let you go back. Nanpi is yours, and I express my sincere apologies on behalf of Liu Bei. We don't have any thoughts to intervene in Jizhou's affairs. I also ask Ju Shou to give me a way to survive." Chen Xi's smile was as gentle as a spring breeze, but he was not sincere at all.

The coachman drove Chen Xi and Ju Shou in the carriage. As for Zhang He, who was stunned by Zhang Fei because he wanted to escape, he was now under Zhang Fei's armpit. He was also to be release at the same time as Ju Shou. As for Gao Lan, he was stunned in the dungeon. He won't wake up for a long time.

To be honest, Chen Xi very much wanted to persuade these three people, but this period is Yuan Shao's ascending period. These three people will never surrender, and they cannot be killed or arrested. Otherwise, it is almost equivalent to formally intervening in Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan's battle. This is completely different from the stable development that Chen Xi thought about, hoarding food and troops. You must know that the locust plague and drought are not far away.

Once involved in the war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan at this time, Yuan Shao, who was originally arrogant, might see that the situation is not good, and therefore mobilize his allies to fight together. The ensuing war is almost equivalent to the Central Plains War!

This has no benefits for Liu Bei, who is now weak in foundation. If he wins and is disabled, the benefits will be swallowed up by the other boss. What's the point of fighting like this? It is better to control the inside war as much as possible within the scope of the situation. It is good for everyone. Um, it is really good for everyone, and for the people's livelihood the war should also be controlled.

Seeing the Taishan army marching slowly, Chen Xi was in a good mood. Sure enough, it was not suitable for him to do this kind of thing. Squatting at home and stretching out his clothes to reach for food to put in his mouth was his favorite life. He had so much food from the Lu family exchanging books for food. Although it is hard to feed more than one million Yellow Turbans, but fortunately, he can catch up with the summer planting, and it is almost enough to carry them for three months.

Thinking about the good life in the future, a smile appeared on Chen Xi's face. If he goes back, he should get married. Chen Lan can be considered a concubine.
