Chapter 544 Hulao Gate Loophole!
"Prime Minister, the guard at Hulao Pass is the prime minister's close minister!"
"If the prime minister sent someone to deliver the letter quickly, then Jiang Chen definitely didn't run far!"
"The speed of the waterway is slow, send someone eight hundred miles to rush to notify General Xiahou Dun, I think Jiang Chen can be intercepted and brought back to Xuchang!"
Xun Yu suggested.
"Master Xun's words are very true, and my ministers agree!"
Jia Xu also nodded.
Even if Jiang Chen had already set off a day earlier, with the slow speed of the waterway, he could travel three or four hundred miles a day at most, and they would definitely be able to stop Jiang Chen by sending him eight hundred miles to rush.
After all, it has only been two days since Xu Shu was buried until today.
It is impossible for Jiang Chen to grow wings and fly.
"Very good, come and send this secret letter to General Xiahou of Hulaoguan immediately within [-] miles..."
Cao Cao nodded. At this moment, he has returned to his study. After writing a secret letter, Cao Cao handed it to a soldier and ordered.
"Yes, Prime Minister, I promise to complete the task!"
The soldier took the secret report with both hands and ran out quickly.
In a short while, it has disappeared from the sight of Cao Cao and others.
"Then Jiang Chen is really too scary!"
"Entering my Xuchang City is like entering the land of no one!"
"It seems that I wanted to rent an abandoned ferry in Guandu before, just to deceive people and make arrangements in advance for today's rescue!"
"I was a little careless at the time, and didn't look carefully!"
Cao Cao sighed, now that Jiang Chen entered Xuchang City, he didn't even see Jiang Chen's face, let people walk in ostentatiously, and then ostentatiously left with a dangerous counselor.
This made Cao Cao feel the burning pain on his face, which was really terrible.
"Prime Minister, Jiang Chen is too cunning, should he simply seal up those leased lands!"
"In order not to be taken advantage of by him again!"
Jia Xu suggested.
"Prime Minister, I think it's not appropriate to have a too tense relationship with Jiang Chen now!"
"Besides, there is no one worthy of Jiang Chen's poaching now, and the ministers are all loyal to the prime minister! There is absolutely no possibility of betrayal!"
"Presumably that Jiang Chen is also very clear!"
"If the leased land is seized, it will definitely give Jiang Chen an excuse to collect debts from the prime minister, then the Sun and Liu families definitely don't mind joining in the fun together!"
"At that time, three against one, even if the prime minister has a strong army, it will be difficult to stop the power of the three families!"
Xun Yu next to him reminded.
"Wen Ruozhi's worries are very reasonable!"
"Then Jiang Chen is a person who doesn't play cards according to common sense!"
"His move seems random, maybe he just wanted to anger the truth, and then took the opportunity to attack the truth!"
"The truth can't be impulsive, the leased land will be kept temporarily, but we must strengthen the supervision on them, and we must not let them do any illegal activities!"
Cao Cao nodded, agreeing with Ge Yu's opinion.
Sealing up the rented place is indeed a momentary pleasure, but it may also pay a huge price, after all Cao Cao did not sign any peace agreement with Jiang Chen.
If Jiang Chen had an excuse, he would definitely not mind biting him. Thinking of this, Cao Cao felt a little scared.
Now he is not ready to fight Jiang Chen, so he has to be patient.
"Yes, Prime Minister!"
Outside the Hulao Pass, the [-]-mile rush did come here very quickly.
Xiahou Dun also received the secret letter immediately.
Hulaoguan opened the gates, and all passing ships must be strictly inspected.
In one day, there is no gain.
The soldiers in Hulaoguan took advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. Those people wanted to spend money to eliminate the disaster. Anyway, as long as they didn't let go of the people the prime minister wanted to arrest, there would be no problem.
"General Xiahou, the merchant ship from Hanzhong is back, and that steward Zhang wants to meet the general!"
The next day, when Xiahou Dun was directing the soldiers to conduct inspections, a soldier came to Xiahou Dun and reported to him.
"Guard Zhang?"
"It can't be that the person the prime minister wants to find is on it?"
Hearing the reports from the soldiers, Xiahou Dun felt his heart tighten.
"Send a few people to follow Ben, and Ben will search carefully!"
Xiahou Dun ordered.
"Yes, General!"
Soon, more than a dozen soldiers armed to the teeth came to Xiahou Dun's side and obeyed his orders.
"Follow the future!"
Soon, Xiahoudun arrived at the merchant ship where Jiang Chen was in by Mengchong. Jiang Chen was still the same, when he saw Xiahoudun and the others coming, he immediately cupped his hands and said:
"General Xiahou, please stay safe!"
"We meet again!"
Jiang Chen cupped his hands towards Xiahou Dun and said.
"Guard Zhang, isn't your business too casual?"
"How can anyone run so frequently in both ends of a business? I don't know what kind of business Zhang Guanshi is doing?"
"It's not something illegal, is it?"
Xiahou Dun looked at Jiang Chen scrutinizingly.
If he hadn't received Cao Cao's secret letter, Xiahou Dun might not have such doubts, but now, he has some doubts that Jiang Chen might have ulterior motives.
Perhaps, there is someone the prime minister wants hidden in this merchant ship.
If he can be caught, the prime minister will definitely trust him more.
"General Xiahou was joking!"
"This steward is doing a serious business, and now the boat is empty, without anything!"
Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Empty ship? Why are you returning so anxiously?"
"Could it be that Guanshi Zhang is also willing to do this loss-making business?"
Xiahoudun felt more and more that there was something wrong with Jiang Chen, how could he do business like this, at least he should bring some local specialties back, so he could make a profit at least.
It is not a wise move to bring nothing now, and it is not in line with the principle of businessmen's interests first.
"General Xiahou's words are serious!"
"There is nothing I can do about it. General Xiahou must also understand that there is a severe drought everywhere, and your prime minister can't solve the food needs of the people!"
"The steward must go back and collect more food, so that the people can trust the reputation of the steward, and they will grow the crops I provide!"
"In this way, everyone benefits. If the manager doesn't bring the food, the people can't get the food, and the food problem can't be solved. How can they plant with peace of mind?"
"At that time, I'm afraid General Xiahou will be busy dealing with the rebellion everywhere!"
Jiang Chen sighed uncontrollably.
"makes sense!"
"If Manager Zhang doesn't mind, can I have this general inspect your merchant ship!"
"After all, you have also seen that the entire Hulao Pass is now under inspection. The Prime Minister has an important prisoner who has escaped. If I let him escape, I will definitely not be able to bear the Prime Minister's anger!"
"I hope Guanshi Zhang can forgive me!"
Xiahou Dun looked at Jiang Chen with a smile on his face, with a tone that must be searched.
