Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Mu led his troops to Qiao County and nothing major happened.
The next morning, Mi Zhu met with Empress Zhang and returned to Xu Prefecture to prepare for her sister's marriage.
However, before he left, Zhang Mu had written him three letters. He didn't know what secrets they hid.
............
"Fengxiao, do you admit defeat?"
"In the next game, I can give you three stones.”
In the governor's office, Zhang Mu was playing chess with Guo Jia.
But this time, it was not Chinese chess, but Go.
After obtaining two special abilities that improved his brain, Zhang Mu expressed that he no longer needed to rely on chess to barely maintain his identity as a chess expert.
He was a real chess expert!
"My lord, I admit defeat."
Guo Jia put down the chess piece in his hand and shook his head with a bitter smile.
Ever since he had acknowledged him as his master three days ago, Zhang Mu had become a cheat (as if he had the help of a god) when he played chess. He could even beat him in Go, let alone Chinese chess.
He even suspected that Zhang Mu had deliberately given in to him to create a good impression of him.
This feeling of being beaten up was really uncomfortable!
"My lord, I've lost ten rounds in a row today. To make up for my broken heart, a barbecue or hotpot should be fine, right?”
Guo Jia winked.
Zhang Mu had the immortal ingredients in his hands. After adding them, it could make the roasted meat extremely delicious and make people forget to leave. It was even more rare to match it with good wine.
There was also the hotpot. It had a unique flavor even if he made it himself. If he wanted to use it in the winter, it would definitely be a great pleasure in his life with the snow.
When he had time in the future, he would definitely find Wen Ruo (Xun Yu) and Gong Da (Xun You) to taste it together and discuss the Dao.
Zhongzhi (Xin Ping), Gongze (Guo Tu), Yuantu (Feng Ji), and Zeyu (Zeshu) didn't listen to me. They were blinded by Yuan Shao's false reputation. If I have the chance to fight them in the future, I'll bring them to have a taste.
As for the word Yuan Hao (Tian Feng), it was too strictly controlled, so it was better to stay away from it.
Guo Jia's thoughts drifted for a moment.
If Zhang Mu knew what he was thinking, he would probably jump three feet high.
He wanted every single one of these things that Guo Jia had mentioned. Not only would they be able to enter the Catalog of Fate, but they would also be good at governing the world.
Unfortunately, he did not know.
"Alright, alright."
Zhang Mu rolled his eyes.
As they spent more and more time together, Guo Jia, who was originally a playboy, was influenced by some of his modern sayings, and her words became more and more flirtatious.
"My lord!"
At this moment, Xu Chu's deep voice sounded from outside the door.
"Zhongkang is here."
Zhang Mu tossed the chess piece in his hand and asked impatiently,""Did you ask the chef to cook the red braised pork?”
Eating pork became popular in the Song Dynasty. Now, only the poor people could not stand the hunger and ate it as non-staple food. Zhang Mu could return to reality and did not think of it at first.
However, Zhang Yun had been buying a fishing boat for the past few days. There was no one at home to cook, and he had to stay in Qiao County, so he wanted to make braised pork at the end of the Han Dynasty.
Who knew that Guo Jia would be disgusted after hearing about it.
He didn't agree, so he looked for Guo Jia to bet.
Coincidentally, Guo Jia wanted wine, and Zhang Mu wanted him to recommend talents, so the bet was set.
Therefore, in Zhang Mu's heart, this was not a dish of red braised pork, but a talent.
"My Lord, the chef said it would be soon. Please wait a little longer.”
Xu Chu said with an unnatural expression.
"So slow?" Zhang Mu frowned.”
It was not that troublesome when Feng County was cooking new dishes.
Qiao County's chef was not good enough.
Xu Chu's eyes became even more flustered.
Guo Jia's eyes flashed as he saw something. He said,"Commandant Xu, do you have something to report?”
"That's right!" Xu Chu looked at Guo Jia gratefully and quickly said,"My lord, Cao Bin of the Cao family has come personally with two people by his side. It is said that they are envoys sent by General Che Ji.”
Cheji General?
The Yuan Shao who had just taken over Jizhou?
Zhang Mu and Guo Jia looked at each other. This situation was beyond their expectations.
Zhang Mu's aura changed and he directly threw the matter of the Red Braised Meat to the side. He said,"Bring her in!"
"Yes!" Xu Chu bowed and retreated, heaving a sigh of relief in his heart.
After Xu Chu left, Zhang Mu immediately asked Guo Jia,"Why do you think Yuan Shao sent people over?”
"It seems that Jizhou has stabilized and wants to encroach on Yuzhou.”"Yuan Gonglu is the legitimate son of the Yuan Family. He has always looked down on Yuan Shao's illegitimate son and even called him a servant," Guo Jia analyzed seriously.”
"Due to the rules of the Imperial Court, neither of them can be the governor of Yuzhou. However, from the fact that Yuan Shu manages Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and Yuan Shao plots the land north of Jizhou, it is not difficult to see that Yuan Shu is more valued by the clan.”
"Yuan Shao has the intention to compete with Yuan Shu. Now that he has settled down in Jizhou, although he will have to face Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, it doesn't stop him from increasing his momentum and planning for Yuzhou.”
Guo Jia had a good grasp of the situation.
Zhang Mu nodded in agreement. He guessed that the two people Cao Bin brought were the two brothers Zhou Ang and Zhou Yu. They also had an older brother, Zhou Xin.
Zhou Xin should be the prefect of Danyang in Yangzhou. After Yuan Shu entered Huainan, he refused to associate with him because he did not like him. This provoked Yuan Shu to privately appoint Wu Jing as the prefect of Danyang and lead his troops to attack. Zhou Xin did not want to harm the people, so he disbanded his troops and returned to his hometown, Kuaiji, to rely on Wang Lang. In the end, he was under Sun Ce, who attacked Wang Lang.
These were Yuan Shao's men!
Zhou Ang and Zhou Yu were the governors of Yuzhou, but they were both killed by Yuan Shu.
Among them, Zhou Ang should be Jiujiang's prefect now.
"Jiujiang!"
Zhang Mu's eyes lit up as he said to Guo Jia,"Fengxiao, I might know who Yuan Shao sent. If I'm not mistaken, our plan will progress even more smoothly.”
As he spoke, Zhang Mu explained the situation of Zhou Xin and the other two.
Guo Jia listened and applauded,"My lord, this is a great opportunity!"”
" Jiujiang is safe."
