Zhang Ji's words frightened Niu Fu, and the deep-seated terror buried in his heart slowly rose to his heart.

It is no small matter to rob the nobles of the county... Although the Xiliang army did this in Luoyang at the beginning, it was Dong Zhuo who took the lead at that time, and all the consequences were borne by the Prime Minister.

But now Niu Fu is on his own. Most of these Nanyang County magistrates are local gangsters with profound backgrounds and huge influence. If he rashly attacks them, Niu Fu may not be able to bear the consequences.

Once he takes action against Nanyang County Wang, he is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the world's scholars.

Niu Fu looked at Zhang Ji with concern and said: "Brother Zhang, you need to be cautious about this matter, and you must not make any mistakes."

Zhang Ji smiled bitterly and said: "I also know that this matter is extremely difficult to handle, but for our army right now, the order of the Prime Minister is the most important! If we can't find enough wealth in Nanyang to build Yinwu

, I’m afraid that the Prime Minister will think that we have selfish motives. If we are really blamed, how can you and I bear the blame..."

Zhang Ji didn't say anything, but Niu Fu naturally understood what he meant.

Dong Xiangguo was very angry, and the consequences were serious.

Zhang Xiu cupped his hands and said: "General Zhonglang, although I am young and have only been in the army for a short time, I also know that if you know yourself and your enemy, you can win a hundred battles. When we were in Nanyang County for more than a month, I also sent my trusted people to fight in Nanyang County."

During the visit, I learned that the people of Qi and Guizhou in the thirty-seven counties of Nanyang have been expropriated by Yuan Shu in recent years. Hundreds of thousands of hungry people have gone south to Nanjun and Jiangdong. I am afraid that most of the wealth has been squeezed out by Yuan Shu. If the Prime Minister allows

If we increase the number of people who are imprisoned, what should we bring back to the Prime Minister?"

Niu Fu's expression was not as happy as when he first learned that troops could be stationed in Wancheng.

What started as joy has now turned into full sadness.

Niu Fu paced back and forth, like a tiger trapped in a cage. After walking around for a long time, he heard him ask: "What if I want to make suggestions to the Prime Minister? Let's report to the Prime Minister that Nanyang County does not have a large amount of wealth."

We can search him, how about telling the truth?"

Zhang Ji smiled bitterly and said: "It's okay to tell the truth truthfully. The problem is...he has to believe the Prime Minister."

"Alas!" Niu Fu slammed the table with his fist and said angrily: "This is really annoying... You go back first and wait until Niu thinks about it carefully before making plans."

Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew immediately stood up and left.

Niu Fu nodded and suddenly said to Zhang Xiu: "My nephew is thoughtful and well-planned. He is so far-sighted at such a young age. He deserves to be the queen of the mighty Zhang family. I will definitely use my nephew in the future."

"

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Sure enough, my decision to report first was the right one!

Although he did not solve the problem for Niu Fu, he at least raised the problem in front of Niu Fu, which can be said to make Niu and Zhang treat him differently.

After Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew left, Niu Fu immediately sent people to Jia Xu's military camp and called Jia Xu back.

This is also a reasonable thing. When Niu Fu encounters a problem that cannot be solved, the first person he thinks of is Jia Xu, and he has developed a habit of doing so.

He already has a certain degree of dependence on Jia Xu.

Not long after, Jia Xu, who had just left the commander's tent, returned.

He first bowed respectfully to Niu Fu, and then asked with a puzzled look on his face: "I wonder why Zhonglang will come back to find Jia? Jia is currently drafting the articles of association for taking over Wancheng, and has not yet finished it.

, please don’t act too hastily, Mr. Zhonglang.”

Niu Fu shook his huge head and said: "Wenhe, this is not the time to talk about the charter. After we took over Wancheng, we have a big trouble! You need to help Niu solve it, otherwise he will be afraid

A certain future is uncertain."

Jia Xu sneered inwardly.

Sure enough, he was right about that boy Zhang Xiu... As expected, the young man came to Niu Fu to show off and take credit.

He is young and energetic, eager to make a name for himself, but his wealth and experience are still too shallow after all.

Compared to Liu Boyu of the same age... he is not at the same level at all.

Jia Xu looked confused and pretended to be confused: "What is the trouble that General Zhonglang mentioned?"

Niu Fu then recounted to Jia Xu everything that happened in the tent after Zhang Xiu arrived.

After hearing this, Jia Xu's face showed a heavy look.

"The Prime Minister is a powerful man in the world, and he is very strict with his subordinates. If this matter is not handled well, it will really easily arouse the Prime Minister's suspicion... If the Prime Minister uses this to think that Zhong Lang has different intentions, it would be too dangerous."

Niu Fu rubbed his hands and sighed: "Just now, Zhang Gonggong told me that he asked me to hijack the belongings of Nanyang Commandery and use them to help Guanzhong to solve the urgent needs of the Prime Minister. But... it's just that Nanyang is the land of Longxing.

, the county magistrates here are all people respected by the scholars in the world, if you kill them, I am afraid they will be tolerated by the scholars in the world, the consequences will be really serious!"

Jia Xu didn't say anything after hearing this, but gently smoothed his beard, as if he was thinking about something.

Niu Fu saw that Jia Xu was distracted and asked: Wen He, did you hear me?"

Jia Xu woke up suddenly, as if he had just woken up from a big dream, and hurriedly rushed to Niu Fu and said, "Forgive me, General Zhonglang. Jia was so distracted just now that he was thinking about something. He was in a daze and did not hear what General Zhonglang said. Please ask me."

I will forgive you."

Niu Fu asked curiously: "What was Wen He Shicai thinking about?"

Jia Xu sighed: "Jia was just thinking about the promotion and appointment of party members when the Prime Minister first came to Luoyang, such as Xun Shuang, Zhou Bi, Wu Qiong, Liu Biao, Zheng Gongye, He Ting, Han Fu, Kong Min and others.

."

After saying this, Niu Fu suddenly trembled all over.

This is right to the point!

When Dong Zhuo first arrived in Luoyang, he vigorously promoted members of the gentry party, hoping to win over and establish a group of political camps of his own, but what was the result?

Almost all the party members who were promoted by him rebelled against him, putting Dong Zhuo in the spotlight.

They, the Xiliang warlords, have long been incompetent among the gentry in the world, let alone the princes of aristocratic families?

Even if I don't snatch those Nanyang County Princes, will they think of me?

Won't!

They will definitely plot against themselves at every turn, secretly stumbling upon themselves, using cunning tricks, wishing they could put themselves to death and then be quick.

The Xiliang warlords and the gentry of the world are fundamentally not on the same line at the moment. Whether you fight or kill them, you will not ease your relationship with them!

Seeing Niu Fu's expression gloomy and uncertain, the old poisonous man finally said something that was enough to kill someone.

"General Zhonglang can't bear to hurt others, but he doesn't know that some people want to let Xiang Guo and General Zhonglang die without a burial place."

Saying this sentence basically determines the future of Nanyang Commandery Wang.

Use the blood of all Nanyang commanders to exchange for the peace of Jia Xu and his family in Jingzhou.

Is this worth it for Jia Xu?

Of course it couldn't be worth more.

What does it have to do with him whether they die or not?

Niu Fu took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said, "If it hadn't been for Mr.'s guidance, Niu Fu would have almost made a mistake and ruined a big thing... not only could he not win over the local people, but he also offended the Prime Minister."

Jia Xu said lightly: "Yes, it is impossible for a person to be perfect in every aspect of his life. He can only grasp one aspect."

Niu Fu nodded, finally making up his mind.

…

In the winter of December of the second year of Chuping, except for the fierce battle between the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and the Yanzhou warlords, the wars in other states and counties were basically over. All parties stopped fighting and returned to their borders to recuperate.
