Wei Yan walked up to Xu You and said, "Sir, I know that you have a great friendship with Cao Cao, but now it is different from the past, he is the Marquis of Wei, and naturally he has the majesty of the Marquis......

Xu You said with a smile: "What do you know, he is not that kind of person at all, maybe he is playing somewhere at this time." After entering the city, you are not allowed to interject casually, and you will listen to me at every opportunity. ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu You looked at Le Jin in front of him, and said loudly: "Since Meng De is not coming, I will not enter either, you go to tell him, if you want Taishan County to return to the embrace of Yanzhou, please come and pick me up." ”

Lejin didn't know what the relationship between Xu You and Cao Cao was, but he was a little annoyed when he saw Xu You so uninhabited. He didn't say anything, turned around and left, ignoring Xu Yu anymore.

At this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves from the city, Cao Cao galloped out of the city gate in a strong suit, turned his head to look at Xu You and Wei Yan who were surrounded by soldiers, didn't pay too much attention, and quickly galloped forward with Dian Wei, Xu Chu and more than 100 relatives with the cavalry behind him.

"A-...... Ah Hide, Cao Ah Hide......" Xu You suddenly shouted loudly, and kept screaming.

Hearing someone call his milk name, Cao Cao hurriedly reined in the horse, turned his head to look at Xu You, a familiar figure jumped out of his mind, he was surprised, pointed at Xu You and said, "You? ”

Xu You cleared his throat and saw that Cao Cao recognized him, so he respectfully bowed his hand and said, "Haha, it's me Xu You!" Ahu, how is your wife? ”

Wei Yan was confused for a while after hearing this, and he didn't know why Xu Yu asked Hou Cao Cao's wife first.

Cao Cao turned his horse's head, and when he saw that Xu You and Wei Yan were surrounded, he raised his hand and said to Le Jin, who was standing there: "Wen Qian, withdraw the troops, Xu You is my old friend." Don't treat it that way. ”

Le Jin said "no" and withdrew the soldiers.

Cao Cao turned over and dismounted, and walked straight towards Xu You, Wei Hou's identity didn't care anymore, he walked forward with a smile on his face, and hugged Xu You. Haha laughed and said, "I really didn't expect to see you here." Madame, she's very good, you don't need to worry about it. ”

Xu You's heart was a little relieved, because Xu You and Cao Cao fell in love with a woman when they were young, who was Cao Cao's current original wife, and the woman they peeked at taking a bath back then. Later, the woman married Cao Cao, who had a good family background, and Xu Youcai gradually became estranged from Cao Cao, and lived in Luoyang officialdom for many years. also became a diner of Yuan Shao, who was also small.

At this time, when Xu You saw Cao Cao, his rival in the past, he was most concerned not about Cao Cao, but about his first love, so he greeted Mrs. Cao Cao when he opened his mouth.

Cao Cao is not surprised, anyway, he has more than one wife now, and he was young and frivolous back then, and he was also a strong man, for fear that the woman he liked would be robbed by Xu You. So he married the woman straight back home. Now that I think about it, in fact, it was just a competitive back then. And he rarely cares about his original wife now, so he doesn't care about Xu You's questioning.

Xu You was a little uncomfortable being held by Cao Cao, pushed Cao Cao away, and said directly: "Meng De, I came this time for something important......

"No matter how big things are, we have to wait until after drinking, let's go. I will hold a banquet to entertain you in the Weihou Mansion, we haven't seen each other for many years, and it's time to catch up on the old days. Cao Cao didn't wait for Xu You to finish speaking, he interrupted Xu You's words, and pulled Xu You into the city while pulling.

Wei Yan saw that the relationship between Xu You and Cao Cao was indeed extraordinary. followed Xu Yu and went in together, remembering the matter in his heart.

In the Wei Marquis Mansion in Changyi City, Cao Cao set up a banquet and specially invited Xu You, a friend he hadn't seen for many years.

After three rounds of drinking, Cao Cao changed his uninhibited habits in the past, looked at Xu You, and asked slowly: "Isn't Ziyuan in Yanhou, why did he come to Yanzhou thousands of miles away?" ”

Xu You had already guessed that Cao Cao would ask like this, he laughed twice, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said loudly: "Doesn't Meng De know yet?" Now that Jizhou is in turmoil, the armies of Yan and Zhao are fighting in the Julu area......"

Cao Cao stopped when he saw that Xu Yu was only halfway through his words, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for Brother Ziyuan's coming, I wouldn't have been able to learn the news, could it be that Brother Ziyuan had taken refuge with me?" ”

Xu You said: "Definitely." I came this time, but for the sake of Mengde's interests, my lord and you are close friends, and sent me to send a congratulatory gift to express friendship. ”

"Congratulatory gifts? What congratulatory gift? Cao Cao said curiously.

"My lord heard that Meng De has a daughter, on the one hand, he sent me to congratulate him, and on the other hand, he also wanted to form an alliance with you to deal with Yuan Shao together. Now looking at the world, the only person who can hold more than 200,000 soldiers and horses is Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao is in Jizhou, not only occupying Qingzhou, but also preparing to attack Youzhou. My father-in-law preemptively killed Gongsun Zhan, who was Yuan Shao's wing, but Yuan Shao has many generals and is really a tricky character. Therefore, I was specially sent to ask Meng De for help, and wanted to ask Meng De to send troops to attack Yuan Shao together, and all the land of Qingzhou in the south of the river belonged to Wei, which was a great congratulatory gift from my lord. Xu Yu spoke eloquently.

Cao Cao remained silent after hearing this, just sat there quietly, touched his beard, and put on a thoughtful look.

Xu You eats what he should eat, drinks what he should drink, and there is no appearance of appearance, and Wei Yan is sitting next to Xu You, he is not as calm as Xu You. After he saw Cao Cao, he has been very careful and has been observing, he wants to see what kind of charm this Cao Cao, who is not good-looking and has a short figure, can actually sit in Yanzhou and Xuzhou.

There were only a few people in the hall, Dian Wei and Xu Chu stood behind Cao Cao, Xu You and Wei Yan were invited to the banquet as guests, and Cao Cao, as the host, did not speak, and the hall was silent.

After a while, I saw a middle-aged man with a thin figure come in from outside the tent, the man had a sallow complexion, and his hands would tremble unconsciously with every step forward, and his eye sockets were deep-set, and his eyes were gray, and he looked like a dying man. The robe he was wearing looked light when he walked, he didn't go through anyone's briefing, he went directly into the hall, and when he saw Cao Cao, he only paused slightly, and then said in a very weak voice: "Lord, I just received an urgent report from Jizhou, the Yan and Zhao armies started a big battle in the area of Juluze, and both sides suffered heavy casualties, and now the two armies have temporarily entered the confrontation stage. Yan Hou was in Gaunt Tao City, Zhao Hou retreated to Yecheng, Yuan Tan of Qingzhou wanted to lead his troops north, but he was blocked by the Yan army Zang Ba's department of Gaotang Port, Yuan Tan could not cross the river, and stayed in Qingzhou temporarily. ”

After Cao Cao listened. He glanced at Xu You, and saw that Xu You was eating wine and meat unscrupulously, so he believed Xu You's words, and at the same time felt that his opportunity had come. He squinted at Wei Yan beside Xu You, and saw that Wei Yan was not bad-looking, although he was wearing extremely ordinary clothes, he could still show a kind of aura on his body, and praised in his heart: "This person is mighty and extraordinary, and he must be a general under Lin Nan." It seems that Lin Nan wants him to spy on my truth......"

"Well, I know, please sit down, it just so happens that I have something to ask you!" Cao Cao motioned for the man to sit down.

The man said "no", sat down on a seat on the right, glanced at Xu You and Wei Yan who were sitting opposite, lowered his eyes, and began to close his eyes to recuperate.

Xu You was very curious about this person. He stopped eating and drinking, and looked at the person sitting in front of him who was called a "military advisor" by Cao Cao. He wanted to know who this man was. Curious, Xu You wiped the oil stains on his hands, and arched his hand to Cao Cao: "Meng De, this gentleman is ......"

"This is my military advisor, Yingchuan drama Zhicai."

Xi Zhicai began to follow Cao Cao early in the morning, earlier than Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye and others under Cao Cao. But he was not eye-catching, and he gave more advice to Cao Cao, but he didn't show up much, mainly because this person's physical condition was too poor, and he was just a medicine jar at all. Drink pills all day long. Cao Cao also visited famous doctors all over the place, but unfortunately he could not cure the stubborn disease on Xi Zhicai, so that Xi Zhicai became what he is today.

After Xu You listened, he only said "oh" softly, and there was no follow-up. He turned his eyes, looked at Xi Zhicai's appearance, and secretly thought in his heart: "Xi Zhicai is already terminally ill, and it is estimated that he will not have a few years to live, although Cao Apu is full of talents here, but there are very few people who are good at military strategy, since entering the Wei State, the scene he has seen along the way is a stable scene, and now Apu has occupied Yanzhou and Xuzhou, if he captures Qingzhou again, then he will become the overlord of the Central Plains, and the future is limitless." Although Lin Nan is a hero, it is a pity that there are too few opportunities to use my strategy, and I hope that a strategic and resourceful military advisor cannot be wasted like this, and should find a place where I can give full play to my strengths. If I take refuge in him, I can not only become the mastermind of Apu in one fell swoop, but also see her every day......"

After carefully thinking about it in his heart, a strange smile appeared on Xu You's face, but this strange smile was fleeting, and no one noticed it. He squinted at Wei Yan beside him, and saw that Wei Yan was like a fart, so he thought again in his heart: "Wei Yan is inseparable from me, even if I go to the thatched house, if I choose to take refuge in Cao Cao at this time, it will inevitably attract his murderous intentions, and when the time comes, I won't be able to draw my life." And Ah Pu seems to have a lot of trust in Xi Zhicai, if Xi Zhicai doesn't die for a day, I Xu You can't be the mastermind, I have to wait until the time is ripe before I can take refuge in Ah Pu, and I also have to find a way to transport the clan out of Jicheng, otherwise with Lin Nan's character, he will definitely not let go of my ......"

Cao Cao saw that Xu Yu didn't speak, and looked thoughtful, so he said: "Ziyuan, what do you want, so into a god?" ”

"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing, I'm just wondering if Meng De will send troops to attack Qingzhou." Xu Yu hurriedly replied.

Cao Cao laughed and said: "If I want to take Qingzhou, it's as easy as a hand, and I don't need to send any congratulatory gifts from others." Lin Nan just wanted me to contain Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses in Qingzhou......"

"But don't forget it, if my lord doesn't attack Jizhou, even if you lead all the soldiers and horses to attack Qingzhou, you may not be able to get Qingzhou. My father-in-law needs you to contain Qingzhou, and why don't you want my father-in-law to contain Jizhou? Since it is a mutually beneficial matter, what is there to argue. Align or not, just by your word. Wei Yan couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly shouted loudly.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu behind Cao Cao both glared at Wei Yan at the same time, and their fierce gaze was enough to kill Wei Yan a hundred times, but the two of them didn't have Cao Cao's order, and no one dared to move, just stood left and right.

Wei Yan's newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, he once fought with Lu Bu, and after he was lucky not to die, his courage became bigger, and he would not be afraid when he saw anyone. He saw Dian Wei and Xu Chu glaring at him. also stared at Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and the hall immediately became a battlefield for eye fighting.

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Xi Zhicai slowly opened his eyes, coughed lightly a few times, and arched his hand towards Cao Cao: "Lord, since Yanhou is sincere, I hope that the lord will not refuse." ”

After Cao Cao listened to Xi Zhicai's words. nodded and replied to Xu You bluntly: "After you go back, you can tell Lin Nan, just say that I am Cao Cao, and I agreed to him to form an alliance." However, after defeating Yuan Shao, the two of them could only meet in person. ”

Xu You nodded and did not speak.

Wei Yan saw that Cao Cao agreed, and did not speak. Instead, he continued to fight with Dian Wei and Xu Chu with his eyes.

After sitting for a while, it was basically Cao Cao and Xu You catching up, and the banquet gradually dispersed.

After watching Xu You and Wei Yan walk out of the hall, Xu Chu stood up and said loudly: "Lord, that Xu You's follower is too hateful, please allow me to kill him......"

"Unwise! The two countries fight each other, and they do not kill them. After Cao Cao said this. turned his head to the side and looked at Xi Zhicai. He asked, "Strategist, why did you agree so quickly?" ”

Xi Zhicai said: "When the judgment continues, it will be chaotic." Lin Nan took the initiative to form an alliance with the lord this time, and our army could not give up this opportunity. Although Yanzhou was stable, the problem in Xuzhou was never solved, and the lord slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou. This kind of hatred cannot be eliminated without a few years of hard work. And Yuan Shu has also made abnormal moves recently, and the pioneer general Ji Ling has broken into Huainan, which means that he will not strengthen the governance of Xuzhou. It is very likely to be used by Yuan Shu. On the surface, we sit on the land of two states, but in fact, Xuzhou makes the lord fall into a quagmire and cannot extricate himself, and most of the troops are used to defend Xuzhou, and there are no extra troops to attack Qingzhou. Compared with Xuzhou, the prestige of the lord in Qingzhou is far higher than that of Xuzhou, and the lord is based on the Qingzhou soldiers, so it is urgent to seize Qingzhou. ”

After Cao Cao listened to Xi Zhicai's analysis, he said: "You are right, as long as Qingzhou is occupied, our army can continue to expand its strength, and the food problem that has plagued me for a long time can be solved temporarily, and now it is time to counterattack Yuan Shao." ”

"The lord is wise." Xi Zhicai praised.

Cao Cao turned his head to Xu Chu and said: "Pass the order, let Le Jin, Li Dian, Yu Ban, and Cao Hong lead three thousand tigers and leopards to ride and twenty thousand Qingzhou soldiers to attack Qingzhou with me." ”

"No!" Xu Chu pulled out his legs and left.

Xi Zhicai stood up and arched his hand: "Lord, the subordinates of this battle will also go together, the battle of Qingzhou must be resolved quickly, otherwise Yuan Shu in Yuzhou will get the news and will attack Changyi." ”

Cao Cao asked with concern, "Strategist, your body ...... Can you still afford it? ”

Xi Zhicai laughed and said: "It's just a handful of dry bones, and sooner or later it will die, don't worry about the lord, the subordinates just want to do more for the lord." ”

Cao Cao said: "Okay, then let's go together." Dian Wei, you go and tell the post station, prepare 500 gold for Xu You, let him go back to his life, I won't go to say goodbye to him. ”

"No!"

After Cao Cao gave the order, the soldiers and horses in Changyi City immediately gathered, mobilized Cao Hong, Yu Ban, Li Dian, and Le Jin, and took Xi Zhicai as the military advisor, and began to rush towards Taishan County with an army of 23,000 people.

Along the way, Cao Cao kept moving, giving people the illusion of internal troop mobilization.

The army marched eastward, and after walking less than a hundred miles, Cao Cao saw a small group of soldiers and horses staying on the official road to the east. But he knew in his heart that under his Yanzhou rule, there would never be a zài liukou, and even if there were, it was pretended by Yuan Shao's Zhao Jun.

Cao Cao's brows furrowed, and while instructing the cavalry behind him to increase their vigilance, he quickly raised his horse and whipped.

When he got closer, Cao Cao was a little dumbfounded, the appearance of the three knights led by him was too familiar to him, one had big ears, one had a red face and long hair, and the other was a black face and beard. He hurriedly reined in his horses and ordered all the troops to stop, accompanied by Dian Wei and Xu Chu, he rode his horse forward two steps, and shouted loudly: "Liu Bei, do you want to block my way?" ”

Those three people were none other than Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei who had retreated from the Jizhou battlefield, and behind the three of them were Mi Fang, Tian Yu, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, Jian Yong and others, more than 200 cavalry, more than 300 foot soldiers, vehicles and everything were incomplete, and everyone had a trace of fatigue on their faces. It's even more rogue than a rogue.

Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Cao Cao, turned over and dismounted. Liu Bei bowed respectfully to Cao Cao and said, "Liu Bei, the general of the defeated army, has come to pay homage to the Marquis of Wei." ”

Dian Wei and Xu Chu rode their horses in front of Cao Cao, glaring at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fiercely, and the hands holding the weapons were always vigilant, as long as they found any abnormal behavior. will kill it.

Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and gently stroked the long hair with the other hand, Danfeng's eyes seemed to be closed, and seemed to be open, giving people a hazy feeling, and also giving people an extremely arrogant atmosphere, as if he disdained to meet Dian Wei and Xu Chu.

Zhang Fei hugged his arms, and the Zhangba snake spear in his hand was also tightly clenched, staring at the pair of ringed eyes. The eyeballs seemed to be about to burst out, and the gaze was ten times more fierce than Dian Wei and Xu Chu, showing a very strong momentum.

Cao Cao glanced at Liu Bei through the gap between the shoulders of Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and saw that Liu Bei no longer had the breath he had when he fought in Xuzhou, but showed a low voice. He sneered and asked loudly, "Liu Bei, aren't you there for Yuan Shao, why did you appear here?" You come to me. But what's the matter? ”

Liu Bei sighed and said with a little sadness: "I'm ashamed." On that day, I was an enemy of Wei Hou, but only to repay Tao Qian's kindness to me, although I belonged to Yuan Shao, but unfortunately Yuan Shao listened to the slander and wanted to kill me indiscriminately, in desperation, I could only lead my troops to break away from Jizhou. came to Yanzhou to take refuge in Wei Hou's account, and hoped that Wei Hou would take him in. ”

Cao Cao ignored Liu Bei after hearing this, but glanced at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, during the Xuzhou War, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under his account each fought more than 100 rounds of the war is still vivid. He is a man who cherishes talents. Seeing fierce generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei following Liu Bei, I felt uncomfortable, and I couldn't figure out what magic Liu Bei had to control Guan Yu and Zhang Fei firmly.

After looking at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Cao Cao sneered and asked, "Liu Bei, are you planning to come to me?" ”

Liu Bei said: "Exactly." And I also brought Wei Hou a heavy secret that could help Wei Hou capture Qingzhou. ”

"Oh?" Cao Cao became a little interested and asked, "What secret?" ”

Now Lin Nan and Yuan Shao are fighting in Jizhou, both of them have suffered heavy casualties, especially Yuan Shao, the 130,000 army killed more than 60,000 people in only one day and night of fierce fighting, which made Yuan Shao's vitality greatly injured and obediently retreated to Yecheng. In addition, Zang Ba's subordinate under Lin Nan's account has occupied Pingyuan County in Qingzhou and blocked the ferry port of Beidu, so that Yuan Tan in Qingzhou could not lead troops to help, and Yuan Tan also stationed soldiers and horses on the bank of the Yellow River, and was building a ferry to prepare to cross the Yellow River. In this way, the troops in the various passes of Qingzhou are empty, and it is the moment when the Marquis of Wei seizes Taishan County and the entire Qingzhou. Liu Bei talked eloquently.

Cao Cao was expressionless when he heard this, and looked at Liu Bei with a pair of small eyes, as well as the five hundred remnant horse infantry behind Liu Bei, and said, "Just these people of yours?" ”

Liu Bei said: "My second brother Guan Yu and third brother Zhang Fei all have the courage of ten thousand people, and I have an old relationship with Kong Rong, the prime minister of Beihai State, although Kong Rong is attached to Yuan Shao, but he is not convinced, Hou Ye can give me a soldier and horse, I and Hou Ye's soldiers are divided into two ways, Hou Ye goes to attack Yuan Tan's main force, I am responsible for persuading Kong Rong to surrender, as long as Kong Rong surrenders, with Kong Rong's prestige in Qingzhou, it will inevitably be able to make most of Qingzhou all attached to Hou Ye's account." ”

Cao Cao listened to what Liu Bei said, did not say no, nor did he say yes, and said to Liu Bei lightly: "Take your men and horses, follow behind my team, and temporarily return to Lejin for dispatch, and when I capture Taishan County, it will not be too late to give you soldiers and horses." ”

Liu Bei hurriedly bowed: "Thank you Lord Hou for taking me in." ”

Cao Cao spurred his horse, and galloped forward with Dian Wei and Xu Chu, followed closely by Xi Zhicai and other soldiers.

Liu Bei took Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others to stand on the side of the road, and when Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were all gone, they began to follow, following Cao Cao all the way to Mount Tai.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were angry, and said in unison: "Big brother, then Cao Cao clearly has no intention of taking us in, why should we follow with shame?" It's better to get out of here and go somewhere else. ”

Liu Bei had his own plans, and said slowly: "Looking at the world, the heroes rise together, Cao Cao sits on the land of Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and Yanzhou is well governed by him. Rather than go to the other princes who are still fighting, it is better to stay under Cao Cao's hands for the time being. Once Cao Cao captured Qingzhou, he would become the overlord of the Central Plains. By the time Lin Nan seized Jizhou, the lands under the jurisdiction of these two men would be bordered, and as long as I created the slightest dispute, Lin Nan and Cao Cao would definitely have a fight. At that time, no matter who wins or loses, it will be beneficial to us, and as long as we concentrate on development now and secretly recruit troops, we will certainly be able to do a vigorous and great cause. ”

After listening to Liu Bei's confident explanation, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were a little relieved, so they stopped asking.

Cao Cao walked at the front of the line, Dian Wei and Xu Chu followed closely behind, and Xi Zhicai also caught up. and Cao Cao walked side by side.

"Lord, do you really plan to take Liu Bei in?" Xi Zhicai asked.

Cao Cao smiled but did not answer.

Xu Chu said: "Lord, Liu Bei's kid is the most untrustworthy, when the Xuzhou War was over, he wrote a letter to the lord, saying that it was a decisive battle, but the day came, but Liu Bei's kid ran away without a trace." There is no faithfulness like this. What does the person who can only run away want him to do, it is better to kill him with a knife. ”

Dian Wei said: "And...... Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't seem to be convinced by the lord. Instead of raising tigers for trouble, it is better to strike first, with me and Xu Fatzi, after restraining Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei and others are equivalent to meat on the chopping board, aren't they slaughtered at will? ”

Xi Zhicai continued: "Liu Bei is not really taking refuge. It's just that he is lonely, and God knows if he ran away secretly because he was afraid of Yuan Shao's punishment because he lost the battle in Jizhou. Moreover, Liu Bei is full of benevolence and morality, and a few rhetoric can deceive many people, and when he attacked Xuzhou, if it wasn't for Liu Bei to encourage the people. Those people will not stand in front of the army at all, and the lord who will not harm him has fallen into the infamy of slaughtering the people, which makes the people of Xuzhou still hate the lord to the core. Liu Bei is ambitious, and the city government is also very deep, so he can't help but guard against it. ”

Dian Wei and Xu Chu said: "The military advisor is very right, the lord only needs to give an order, and our brother will go to bring Liu Bei's head." ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Liu Bei came to me alone, if I kill him, then who will dare to come to me in the future?" What's more, he and Kong Rong do have a lot of relationship, if he can persuade Kong Rong to surrender, most of Qingzhou will surrender without a fight. After Liu Bei helped me capture Qingzhou, I naturally had a way to deal with this big ear. Okay, this matter is over, send an order to the whole army, speed up, must arrive at Taishan County tomorrow morning, and attack Taishan County with lightning speed, I have endured this evil breath for a long time. ”

Xi Zhicai, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu said: "No! ”

……

Xu You and Wei Yan completed the mission entrusted by Lin Nan, successfully let Cao Cao send troops to attack Qingzhou, and after accepting the five hundred gold and two war horses sent by Cao Cao, they began to embark on the road back.

On the other hand, the scouts in charge of liaison with Lu Bu had also arrived in Jinyang.

In Jinyang City, Lu Bu led the generals to practice in the martial arts field, and he was very satisfied when he saw his soldiers alive.

"Lord ......" Chen Gong walked straight from outside the martial arts arena with Yan Jun's scouts, shouting as he walked.

Lu Bu turned his head and saw that it was Chen Gong, so he greeted him and asked, "It's Gongtai, is there anything wrong?" ”

Chen Gong bowed and said: "Lord, this is a scout sent by Yanhou, saying that Yanhou has a letter to give to the lord, and ask the lord to see it himself." ”

"Oh? Lin Nan actually wrote to me? Show me! ”

The scout is lean and smart, he is a first-class scout trained by Bian Xi, and his ability to spy on news and military intelligence is far higher than that of ordinary scouts. This time the matter is very important, Bian Xi's injury has not healed, and Lin Nan can only send him.

This scout is called Lin Chu, and there is no end to the right Beiping. After he took out Lin Nan's letter, he handed it to Lu Bu, and at the same time bowed: "Please take a look at the Marquis of Jin!" ”

Lu Bu took the letter, and after reading it in a hurry, great joy immediately appeared on his face, and he said loudly: "Lin Nan should have done this a long time ago, Gongtai, quickly assemble a large army and prepare to attack Jizhou!" ”

"Attack Jizhou?" Chen Gong hurriedly took Lin Nan's letter from Lu Bu's hand, and after reading it in a hurry, he saw that Lin Nan wrote on the letter that he invited Lu Bu to "hunt in Jizhou", and also promised Changshan, Zhao County, and Wei County, and his brows furrowed.

Chen Gong threw the letter into a ball, threw it on the ground, and said to Lu Bu: "Lord, if our army wants to attack the city, we can go and get it." Why should others give alms? This Lin Nan is extremely treacherous in his heart, I don't know what tricks he is planning in his heart, from the perspective of his subordinates, he can kill him, break with Lin Nan, and take advantage of Lin Nan and Yuan Shao to confront each other in Jizhou. The lord led the elite Jin army to sweep Youzhou and Jizhou, which could pacify Jizhou in one fell swoop. ”

As soon as Lin Chu heard Chen Gong's vicious language, instead of changing color, he seemed very calm, glanced at Lu Bu, and saw a trace of murderous intent on Lu Bu's face, so he sneered: "If the Hou Ye wants to do this, the little one has nothing to say, and the little one is willing to use this head to witness the Hou Ye's injustice." My father-in-law kindly invited the Hou Ye to attack Jizhou. When the time comes, Yuan Shao will be destroyed, and the benefits of Hou Ye will naturally be indispensable. If Hou Ye wants to sneak attack our army, then just come, the people and soldiers of our Yan Kingdom will resist desperately, and no matter how powerful Hou Ye's army is, it will be impossible to kill all the millions of people in the entire Yan Kingdom, right? ”

Chen Gong's face was gloomy, and he hurriedly said to Lu Bu: "Lord, this is an excellent time. As long as the lord's army marches eastward, it can destroy Yan and Zhao. And become the overlord of Jizhou in one fell swoop, those untouchables are afraid of the strength of our army, and they will not dare to stop it, as long as they are quickly drawn with cavalry, within two months, the entire Jizhou and Youzhou will be under the control of the lord. ”

Lin Chu laughed and said, "It's too naïve to think about it." My lord has already made arrangements, Youzhou is no longer the Youzhou of the year, and now the territory of Youzhou includes Dongyi, Wuhuan and others, as well as a small number of Xianbei people, Wuhuan people are close to 400,000. Men and women, young and old, can ride horses and shoot arrows, and only the group of Wuhuan people is enough for you to fight for a year or two. Want to raid Youzhou quickly? Dream! ”

Chen Gong wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lu Bu. Lu Bu glanced at Lin Chu and asked, "What you said is enough for me to kill you, haven't you thought about it?" ”

Lin Chu snorted coldly: "My life has already been handed over to my lord, although I have no regrets in death!" ”

"Zhang Liao!" Lu Bu turned his head and shouted loudly at the school field behind him.

On the school field, Zhang Liao rode a war horse, held a big bow, galloped in a circle, and shot the arrow secretly held in his hand to the bull's-eye, which attracted a burst of cheers from the onlookers.

Lu Bu's shout, like a phone ringing at midnight, stimulated everyone's ears, very sharp, pierced through the cheers of everyone onlookers, and went straight to Zhang Liao's ears and eyes.

When Zhang Liao heard the shout, he immediately rode his horse and galloped towards Lu Bu, the horse's hooves rolled up a cloud of dust, and he ran to Lu Bu's side as soon as he slipped through the smoke, turned over and dismounted, and hugged his fists: "What do you want the lord to call me?" ”

Lu Bu pointed to the paper thrown on the ground by Chen Gong, and said to Zhang Liao: "This is a letter written to me by Yanhou Lin Nan, let me hunt in Jizhou with him and attack Yuan Shao, you can pick it up and take a look first." ”

"No!"

Zhang Liao bent down and picked up the letter on the ground, opened it and read it, and then arched his hand and said: "Lord, this is a good thing, my subordinates think they can agree." ”

Chen Gong blew his beard angrily and glared, and hurriedly said: "No, at this time, it was a good opportunity to send troops to destroy Lin Nan and Yuan Shao, let them fight first, and our army would reap the benefits of the fishermen, then the entire Jizhou would be equivalent to the lord's." ”

Zhang Liao shook his head and said slowly: "My lord, my subordinates think that this move of the military division is too dangerous, and the population of the state is sparse, and our army is insufficient, 50,000 cavalry, 30,000 infantry is already the limit. And in the past two years, the Xianbei people have been inseparable, the cavalry are used to fighting outside the fortress, Youzhou and Jizhou have plains, mountains, and cities, and it is extremely time-consuming and laborious to attack the city, which is different from the Xianbei people outside the fortress. Even if our army can really defeat Youzhou and Jizhou, it is estimated that it will have become the end of the crossbow at that time, the Xianbei people outside the plug, the surrounding princes will be ready to move, rather than taking such a risk to offend the two princes, it is better to be invited to attack one of them, not to mention that our army only needs to support, there will be no loss, but it can occupy Changshan, Zhao County, Wei County without much effort, why not? ”

After hearing this, Lu Bu laughed and said, "What Wen Yuan said is very true, okay, it's settled." ”

Turning his head, Lu Bu said to Lin Chu: "You go back and tell Yan Hou, just say that I, Lu Bu, will lead the Hezhou Iron Cavalry to the city of Yecheng in a few days, and work with him to flank Yuan Shao." However, after the deed is completed, I will add another place, hoping that he will give me Zhongshan as a gift. In this way, with Julu County as the dividing line, the east of Julu belongs to the Yan Kingdom, and the west belongs to my Jin Kingdom, everyone is mutually beneficial, why not? ”

Lin Chu saw that Lu Bu was insatiable, although he was angry in his heart, but he did not have a seizure on his face, but just arched his hand towards Lu Bu and bowed: "The little one will leave, and I will definitely tell the lord of my family what the Hou Ye said." ”

Lu Budao: "Don't send it!" ”

Lin Chu turned around and left, and when he left, he didn't forget to glance at the soldiers who were training in the Jin army, and saw that those burly men were all like wolves and tigers, so he secretly thought in his heart: "The strength of the Jin army is far above the Zhao army......"

When Lu Bu saw Lin Chu leaving, he smiled and said, "Strategist, this strategy of yours is really too beautiful, in my opinion, Lin Nan will definitely send Zhongshan up." ”

Chen Gong sneered: "Zhao Yun was originally stationed in Dai County, but suddenly changed to Gai Xun, and there are still 30,000 Wuhuan Raiders stationed there, I have already estimated that Dao Lin Nan will take action." Coupled with the news that Xizuo brought back from Jizhou, our army only needs to wait for good news. Lin Nan was worried that we would sneak up on him, so he would definitely try his best to invite him, no, it finally came true. ”

Lu Bu laughed and said: "The strategy of the military advisor is really high, what he said just now is also impassioned, Wen Yuan's expression is also very good, and the rest of the things are much simpler." ”

Chen Gong nodded, and arched his hand: "Lord, you can send troops tomorrow, beat gongs and drums along the way, create momentum, Zhang Yang can be responsible for guarding and annexing the state, the lord can personally lead the strong army into Changshan, and then send the generals to occupy Zhongshan first, and then go all the way south, capture the cities of Zhao County and Wei County, and when they reach the city of Yecheng, they can only feint, not fight, and hand over the hard bone of Yuan Shao to Lin Nan to gnaw!" ”

Lu Budao: "Zhang Liao, go and send a message to Gao Shun, let him bring all the cavalry to assemble at the school field, this trip to Jizhou, I will not stop until I occupy half of Jizhou!" ”

Zhang Liao said "no", turned around and left, leaving Chen Gong and Lu Bu there with a sneer.

……

"Is that really what Lu Bu said?" Lin Nan, who was sitting in the gall pottery city, personally met with Lin Chu, who had returned from the mission, and asked expressionlessly.

Lin Chu nodded heavily, and said to Lin Nan: "Lord, they are all Chen Gong's servants, and they insist on persuading Lu Bu to attack the rear of our army. And Lu Bu was also insatiable, and he insisted on adding Zhongshan before he would give up. ”

After hearing this, Jia Xu, Xun You, Guo Jia and others present all looked at each other, and no one spoke.

Lin Nan waved his hand and said to Lin Chu: "Okay, you go down and have a good rest." ”

"No, my subordinates retire!"

After Lin Chu walked out of the hall, Lin Nan said slowly: "Bring the map!" ”

The guards sent the map, and after Lin Nan opened it, he looked through it carefully, and said, "I am going to send Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhaojun, Weijun, and Julu to Lu Bu together, what do you think?" ”

Jia Xu, Xun You, and Guo Jia were very surprised when they heard this, they all knew that Lu Bu was insatiable, but when they heard that Lin Nan took the initiative to give Julu County to Lu Bu, they couldn't figure out what this was for. The three of them stood up together and arched their hands: "Lord, Lu Bu is a jackal who can't be fed, he insists on Zhongshan, just to surround Daijun with Yanmen County, if you want to send him Julu County again?"
