Liu Xin paused and said, "I think it should be called Phantom."
Seeing that Liu Xin had already decided, Jushou didn't say anything anymore. After all, it was just a code name, so he turned the topic to specific work and said, "Then I will report to the Lord about what Phantom has done recently."
It turned out that Jushou didn't know which aspect of the work the secret spy organization should focus on. Now the biggest thing in the entire Han Dynasty is the suppression of the Yellow Turban bandits. Jushou also shifted the focus of Phantom's work to this direction.
Jushou continued: "At present, the focus of the imperial court's suppression is obviously on Yingchuan. However, Huang Jinbo and Sun Xia have joined forces. After months of fierce fighting, the combat effectiveness of these thief parties has been greatly improved. Zhu Jun and Huangfu couldn't win the battle for a long time. The court appointed Cao Cao as a waiter and led the army to reinforce."
"Cao Cao?" Liu Xin thought of the scene of him molesting Ma Yun. He couldn't help but feel angry. Then he thought that Bian Yu was already his own woman. Then he calmed down and said, "Well, you continue."
Jushou said: "Another Sun Jian, a righteous man from the lower Pirates, summoned the courage to go to Yingchuan to join Zhu Jun's army. At present, the power of the officers and the army is so great that the Yingchuan Yellow Turban may not last longer."
Liu Xin was not surprised by the appearance of Cao Cao and Sun Jian. These did not differ much from the original history. It was only because of his own lightning attack that the Nanyang Yellow Turban was instantly wiped out, which enabled the Yingchuan Yellow Turban to strengthen its strength and deal with the officers and the army to this day.
Jushou continued: "Because the imperial court's focus is on Yingchuan, Jizhou has fewer troops. Both Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo have been defeated by Zhang Jiao many times. The situation in Jizhou is not optimistic."
He was originally from Jizhou, and he was particularly worried about the Yellow Turban riots in his hometown.
Liu Xin knew in his heart that it was now in the autumn. Before long, Zhang Jiao would die of illness. When the time came, the Yellow Turban Uprising would soon be suppressed. He couldn't help thinking of what he wrote at the beginning of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Taoyuan came to justice and asked, "Gongyou, have the Phantom people ever heard of a person named Liu Bei?"
Jushou thought for a while and said, "It seems that there is such a person. He seems to be a student of Lu Zhi. He has recruited dozens of people to help Lu Zhi. This man is also ordinary in martial arts, but there is a red-faced man with a strong martial arts next to him. The Jizhou Yellow Turban leaders Guan Hai and Cheng Yuanzhi died in the hands of this big man. After Dong Zhuo took over the military power, Liu Bei has disappeared."
Liu Xin thought secretly, the red-faced person was naturally Guan Yu. He took Zhang Fei away by himself, and Liu Bei could still earn him under his command. This big-eared thief is really not easy. No wonder Cao Cao regarded him as an adversary, but he just didn’t know Cao Cao. How will you evaluate me in the future
Jushou suggested: "Lord, do you see if we can send troops to help Zhu Jun and Huangfusong to clear the Yellow Turban in Yingchuan, so that we can open up the road to the north and drive Moxiangzhai to Luoyang."
At this time, Moxiangzhai has opened all over the nine counties of Jingxiang and Xiangxiang, and has gradually developed to Yang and Xuzhou. Those who entered and exited Moxiangzhai were all upper-class figures of the noble family, and they had heard many news, but they had not had time to analyze it carefully. However, as the exclusive operator of Xiangzhi, coupled with some new-style stationery newly developed by the research institute, Moxiangzhai's income is increasing day by day, and Jushou can't wait to promote Moxiangzhai to the whole country.
Liu Xin shook his head and said, "Gongyou, without the court's order, we'd better not send troops without authorization. Don't worry, in my opinion, the Yellow Turban will not last long, and the situation will change drastically before the end of the year. From now on. The focus of the phantom investigation should be on the three people Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian. It is necessary to understand the situation of these three people and their subordinates in detail, including family members, personal preferences, and skills and expertise. The more detailed the better."
Jushou didn't understand why Liu Xin valued these three people so much. They were just small characters. Is it worth his effort? But Jushou has the advantage that as long as it is the order that Liu Xin decides, he will complete it without compromise and will not bargain.
At this time, a Huwei soldier walked in and handed Liu Xin a letter, which was just sent by Nanxiang Zhang Xi.
Liu Xin's heart tensed, she hurriedly opened her face, suddenly laughed, and said to Jushou, "Gongyou, let me go to Wang's house."
When Wang Zhen started organizing caravans to Nanyang and Nanxiang two counties, he was not too willing. After making a lot of money, now he doesn't need to say that Liu Xin, he also started business with peace of mind. So Wang Yan stayed in Zhangling and managed the Wang family's business in Nanxiang.
Wang Yan and Zhang Yun didn't look very pleasing to each other. Wang Yan thinks that Zhang Yun talks too little, and he has a big air. Especially on the way to Nanxiang, he actually used Wang Yan's caravan as a bait. For this, Wang Yan hated Zhang Yun, but he didn't take Zhang Yun. Method. However, because of Wang Yan's proposal to kill the yellow turban Yu Dang who had surrendered, Zhang Yun felt that this beautiful woman was too cruel and didn't like her.
However, since Wang Yan wanted to do business in Nanxiang, he had to deal with the government. At the place of Nanxiang prefect Zhang Yun, she had to run in two or three days. Zhang Xun would rebuild Nanxiang County without the support of these businessmen. After going back and forth, the two people got in touch with each other a lot, the original gap gradually disappeared, and the perception of each other gradually changed. I don't know when they started to have some good feelings with each other.
Originally the two met each other often, and the relationship slowly developed, so there was no need to worry. Unexpectedly, Wang Yan's second brother, Wang Yun, spent many days in Nanyang and was very optimistic about Xu Huang. He wrote to his father several times and said many good things about Xu Huang. The Wang family is now the third largest family in Xiangyang. Wang Zhen has always been looking for a stable backer. He has quietly asked about it. Liu Xin now has only one wife and one concubine. Based on her daughter’s beauty, marry him as a concubine. Still very promising, but never found a chance to speak. Now that Wang Yun proposed to marry his daughter to Xu Huang, Wang Zhen was a little tempted. After all, Xu Huang is now the prefect of Nanyang, and his daughter is the prefect’s wife when she marries him, and Xu Huang is still Liu Xin’s second brother. Therefore, Wang Zhen repaired a book and asked Wang Yan to rush back to Xiangyang as soon as possible.
Wang Yan got her father's letter and saw that it meant to marry him, she couldn't help but feel anxious, so she came to discuss with Zhang Xi. Zhang Xi knew that there was nothing to worry about about marriage, the orders of his parents, and the words of the matchmaker. However, if Wang Zhen had betrothed his daughter to someone else, it would be a little difficult to do so, so he had to write a seal. Letter, please help Liu Xin go to Wang's house to propose marriage.
Jushou couldn't help laughing when he learned the whole story, "Lord, it seems that we will have a wedding wine to eat soon."
Liu Xin said: "I don't know anything about etiquette. You have to do more about this matter. Without further ado, I will go to Wang's house first. You prepare gifts and applications, and then come."
When the letter was delivered to Liu Xin, Wang Yan had already returned to Xiangyang, and was frustrated with Wang Zhen about this at home. No matter what Wang Zhen said, Wang Yan would not agree to marry Xu Huang. At this time, the servant came to report that Master Mu Liu from Jingzhou came to visit in person.
When Wang Zhen heard that Liu Xin was coming, he hurriedly greeted him: "My lord, why are you here? Just ask the people below to give an order if you have something."
Liu Xin smiled and said, "Congratulations. Congratulations. Outside Wang, I heard that you have a beautiful and dignified daughter. Liu came here today to propose a marriage to you."
Wang Zhen was overjoyed when he heard the words, and threw Xu Huang behind his head long ago and said, "Oh, if an adult is interested in the little girl, just ask someone to say it. The villain will arrange the sedan and send the little girl to the house. "
Liu Xin was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly laughed: "The staff misunderstood. Liu came here to help my brother to propose a marriage. My brother is a literary and military talent and is now the prefect of a county. He will never insult his daughter."
At this time, Ju Shou also rushed over and took the conversation and said: "Outside the staff, the lord and I will be the matchmaker. You can't shirk this marriage."
Wang Zhen was greatly surprised. It turned out that Xu Huang had first approached Liu Xin as a matchmaker, which made him a little embarrassed, and said, "Since he is the brother of the grown-up, the villain is also a high climber. Let's not hide it from the grown-up, the villain was still doing this just now. The matter persuades the little girl and prepares to betroth her to your brother."
In Wang Zhen’s letter to his daughter, there was no mention of whom to marry her, so at first Wang Yan and Zhang Yun didn’t know that Xu Huang’s stuff was in it, and Liu Xin didn’t even know it. This is strange. It stands to reason that Zhang Xi and Wang Yan should be in agreement. How can they be persuaded, so they said: "Outside the staff, how can this matter be strong? Why not ask the young lady to ask Liu what she means in person."
As soon as Wang Yan heard Liu Xin tell her to go out, he understood three points. He must have received Zhang Yun's letter, so he walked out happily and said to Liu Xin a blessing: "Men's daughter has seen Master Liu."
Liu Xin said: "Girls don't need to be polite. I'll ask you, would you like to marry my brother."
Wang Yan, who had heard Zhang Xun tell the story of the Seven Brothers Juyi, now knows about Xu Huang, glanced at Dian Wei who was standing next to Liu Xin, smiled slyly, and said, "I heard that there are six good brothers. The one on the side must be the brother of the adult, I don’t know which one the adult is talking about?"
Dian Wei is a carefree character, but he doesn't take it seriously. He said: "Dian Wei knows she is ugly. Of course the girl doesn't like me, so you can't make fun of me. My eldest brother is here to help the fourth brother propose marriage. The girl can't answer. Promise, be quick, just a word, my elder brother is very busy, you can't delay my elder brother's effort."
Wang Yan knew that Zhang Yun was ranked fourth, but when he said that, he became ashamed, her pretty face blushed, her head lowered and her hands closed the corners of her clothes, but she didn't speak.
Liu Xin is a person who came here. How could she not understand what she meant, but said pretendingly: "Since the girl is unwilling, Liu can't force her, so let's say goodbye."
Wang Yan was anxious and said hurriedly: "Don't, I promised."
Everyone laughed, but Wang Zhen was stunned, not knowing which one was singing.
