Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are Liu Bei's sworn brothers, but they don't know anything about such a confidential matter, seeing this person standing in front of them, the two of them suddenly feel that Liu Bei's city is very deep, so deep that neither of them can predict it. The two of them thought about it slowly, and remembered that Tian Yu suddenly stopped them from killing themselves unusually, and after the truth was revealed, the two of them knew that Tian Yu was the only insider who knew that Liu Bei had cheated to death.

Mi Fang is Liu Bei's brother-in-law, his brother Mi Zhu married his sister to Liu Bei, no matter how they say they are relatives, seeing that his brother-in-law used a trick to deceive death, but he didn't know it, there was a trace of not being trusted by Liu Bei in his heart, and he glanced at Tian Yu, who often stayed by Liu Bei's side, and felt jealous.

Liu Bei took off his battle armor and saw that everyone had been relieved from their grief, so he personally helped Guan Yu and Zhang Fei up, and said to the others at the same time: "Everyone get up, I will not die today, and there will be blessings in the future." You are all people who share weal and sorrow with me at a critical juncture, from today on, I Liu Bei swear to the sky, I will not disappoint your expectations of me, and I will definitely have a piece of heaven and earth that belongs to my Liu Bei. Now that Yan and Zhao are fighting each other, the situation in Jizhou is unstable, and I have no place to stand, it is better to leave here temporarily and develop to the south. Yanzhou Cao Cao is recruiting, I am ready to lead you to join Cao Cao, those who are willing to follow me will follow me, and those who are not willing to follow me can choose to go elsewhere, I Liu Bei will not be strong! ”

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Mi Fang, Tian Yu and others all said in unison: "We will swear to follow the lord to the death!" ”

Liu Bei was moved in his heart after hearing this, as the so-called adversity sees the truth, he looked up at the sky, but saw the white clouds in the sky, blue and deep, his heart once again ignited the fighting spirit. vowed to make a world of his own. Lowering his head, Liu Bei bowed deeply to everyone: "I, Liu Bei, am not talented, I don't have any big strategy, but I can have a group of loyal people like you to follow, why can't I Liu Bei show my ambitions and wait for the time to come." I, Liu Bei, will inevitably become a blockbuster and become the only one in the world who supports this great man. ”

After the excited words were finished, Liu Bei looked northwest at the gall Tao City not far from them, and then looked at the southwest in the direction of Yecheng, the land of Yan Zhao was no longer a place where he had stayed for a long time, he turned over and took his double-strand sword from Tian Yu's hand, the unyielding will in his heart has been driving him, and he made a move. He shouted loudly: "Get on the horse, leave Jizhou, and go to Yanzhou!" ”

Although Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others did not know why Liu Bei had to take refuge in Cao Cao, who drove them away from Xuzhou, they would not refuse Liu Bei's meaning, and they firmly believed that this big ear, who had led them to wander everywhere, would sooner or later realize the wish in their hearts and become the only one in the world who could support the Han family. and will lead them to stand proudly between heaven and earth.

More than 300 cavalry followed Liu Bei and marched south along the edge of Juluze. And try to walk in a sparsely populated area, for fear of encountering either side of the Yan and Zhao armies.

The sky was bright, the golden sun was shining on the earth, Juluze was lifeless within a radius of 100 miles, there were soldiers and horses killed in battle everywhere, and the corpses were lying in the area of Nanluan County in the east of Juluze. Dozens of miles have passed, and no one can imagine how fierce yesterday's battle was.

Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei for less than ten miles, and his face became more and more gloomy, he turned his head to look in the direction of Gall Tao City, and thought silently in his heart: "Lin Nan." I've paid off what I owe you, and the next time we meet, I hope we won't be enemies again......"

Liu Bei knew very well in his heart that there was no benefit for him to be sandwiched between Yuan Shao and Lin Nan, and his two sworn brothers were also affectionate and righteous people, and there was a trace of fetters between the two of them and Lin Nan, and he must ruthlessly cut off this fetters, and this time his fake death was enough to prove that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's hearts were still towards him.

He silently read in his heart: "Lin Nan in Nanpi City let go of the third brother, in order to invisibly break up our three brothers, if I didn't see some doorways in time, maybe I would really be dead." Lin Nan, we will meet on the battlefield sooner or later, and I will definitely have a duel with you as a hegemon at that time, you wait, I, Liu Bei, will kill you with my own hands sooner or later. ”

"Big brother......" Zhang Fei turned his head and suddenly shouted with a sad face.

Liu Bei didn't look back, but asked softly, "Third brother, is there something wrong?" ”

Zhang Fei said: "Big brother, I'm sorry for you, I almost killed you...... Lin Nan...... Lin Nan will personally kill my eldest brother in the future. ”

Liu Bei didn't say anything, and when he saw Zhang Fei suddenly say this, he suddenly felt a sense of comfort in his heart, turned his head to look at Zhang Fei, and showed a bright smile that he had never seen before.

Guan Yu also showed a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but he knew in his heart that although Zhang Fei said so, he might not be able to really do it, in his opinion, the bond between Zhang Fei and Lin Nan has never really been lifted, but because of the interaction again and again, it is gradually deepening. He thought silently in his heart: "Third brother, Lin Nan is so terrible that he almost broke up the three of us brothers......"

……

Gall Pottery City.

Yesterday's fierce battle made the soldiers tired, although Lin Nan returned to the city of Gauntlet, but the mood has never been better, he has been very self-blaming and guilty, and at the same time recalling the whole incident.

Lin Nan sat alone in the hall, holding a jar of fine wine in his hand, and after taking two sips, he smashed the wine to pieces angrily, and his eyes showed a great fierce light.

Jia Xu came from outside, and when he saw the wine that was smashed to pieces on the ground, he didn't say anything, but turned around and left.

"If you're here, why are you leaving?" When Lin Nan saw Jia Xu turn around and leave, he shouted loudly.

Jia Xu turned around again, walked straight to Lin Nan's side, and arched his hand: "My subordinates are afraid of disturbing the lord." ”

Lin Nan sneered: "Strategist, I have a sentence I want to ask you, I don't know if you can answer the question in my heart?" ”

Jia Xu's eyes turned, his eyes flickered, he didn't dare to look directly at Lin Nan, leaned over and said: "If the lord has any questions, just ask, his subordinates will definitely try their best to answer the questions in the lord's heart." ”

Lin Nan raised his hand and motioned for Jia Xu to sit down, and said slowly: "Military Division." Did the plan of the father and son ever deceive you? ”

Jia Xu felt a shock in his heart, but his face still did not rise and fall a little, and he asked, "Why did the lord say this?" ”

Lin Nan stood up and slowly walked in front of Jia Xu, his two sharp eyes staring closely at Jia Xu's slightly sinister old face, looking at a trace of sweat oozing from Jia Xu's forehead. And his deep gaze began to dodge a little, so he stretched out his hand and grabbed the back of Jia Xu's neck, and with a little force, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Jia Xu was already frightened, and a large amount of sweat began to appear on his forehead, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down from his forehead and flowed to the tip of his nose, gathering into a point. was dripping down drop by drop, and the back of his neck that was tightly grasped by Lin Nan also began to ache faintly. His forehead was pressed against Lin Nan's forehead, and those femme fatale-like eyes were raging in his eyes, as if they wanted to peek into his heart through his deep eyes.

At this moment, the hall was unusually quiet, and neither of Lin Nan and Jia Xu spoke, they kept that posture, and their eyes looked at each other.

A moment later. Jia Xu's hanging hands began to tremble slightly, and a subtle twitch began to appear on his face. The fear in his heart occupied all his senses, causing him to feel a sense of oppression that he had never felt in front of Lin Nan in front of him, those eyes stared at his heart, and those eyes that were deeper than him reflected the stiff reflection of his face, but all he could see was the darkness and boundless depth.

Lin Nan sneered and let go of the hand that grabbed the back of Jia Xu's neck. The tiny scar on his face began to crumple and appear, making him look hideous. He turned around, walked straight back to his seat, and after sitting down, he said loudly, "Strategist." I, Lin Nan, am not thin on you, right? ”

Jia Xu had realized the severity of the matter, hurriedly stood up, walked to the center of the hall, knelt on the ground with a plop, bowed his head and kowtowed, his whole body trembled, sweat like rain, and his mouth trembled and said: "The lord has always been very good to his subordinates, better than anyone else......"

"Why did you do such a thing, if you know that?" Lin Nan suddenly shouted.

Jia Xu's whole person didn't dare to speak anymore, his whole body trembled, and it was the first time he felt a sense of fear that he had never felt from Lin Nan's body.

"Guo Jia and Ouyang Yinying are still young and lack experience, so they may really fail to see the clues. Xun You's strategy is mostly military, even if he can see a clue, he may be deceived by the frustrated plan. Compared with you, these three people are not vicious and ruthless enough, you have rich experience and wisdom, when you are above frustration, I don't believe you can't see a clue. Jia Xu! You must give me an explanation today, why on earth are you doing this? After Lin Nan returned to Gaunt Tao City, he carefully recalled some things in the past two days and found that Jia Xu's behavior was a little strange.

Jia Xu didn't expect Lin Nan to see his heart, and he didn't expect Lin Nan to be so terrible, he has been following Lin Nan's side for several years, starting from Liangzhou, he has followed him unswervingly, and he is the one who makes suggestions, and he is also used to Lin Nan's life of discussing everything with him, so that his heart reflects the existence of self-worth.

However, when Lin Nan's resourcefulness gradually increased, his value gradually became weaker, although he has been firmly in the first position in the think tank, and has also become a military general, but when he heard that Lin Nan was still involved in frustration, he felt that his value was further weakened, and at the same time, he felt that he should let Lin Nan make some changes, so he made an abnormal decision, and he was stunned not to break Frustration's strategy.

Jia Xu couldn't stop kowtowing, his forehead had already been broken, and he said loudly: "Please punish the lord, please punish the lord!" ”

Lin Nan stood up again, walked straight to Jia Xu, saw that the ground had been knocked out of blood, his brows furrowed, and directly stretched out a foot, blocking Jia Xu's forehead that was about to contact the ground, and then squatted down, lifted Jia Xu's back, stared at Jia Xu's face carefully, and asked coldly: "Strategist, since you followed me, I have taken you as a teacher and a friend, this relationship between teachers and friends can be described as extraordinary." You're not lustful, you're not greedy for money, and I can't figure out what you're doing it for. Strategist, I just want you to tell me in person, what is it that made you make this cruel decision? ”

Jia Xu swallowed a mouthful of saliva. What he sees in his eyes is no longer the Lin Nan he was at the beginning, and now Lin Nan exudes all the conditions of a male lord, perseverance, viciousness, insidiousness, and cunning seem to be seen in Lin Nan's body, but what makes people feel different is that Lin Nan often appears in front of the people with a positive image, which makes people's hearts converge. The people wanted, and he felt glad for himself.

He saw Lin Nan's hot gaze staring at his face, and a trace of incomprehension flashed in Lin Nan's deep gaze, he also decided to tell the secret hidden in his heart, and said slowly: "Lord, my subordinates have indeed seen the plan of the frustrated master......

Lin Nan let go of Jia Xu, stood up, looked at Jia Xu who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "I really didn't guess wrong." If I'm not mistaken. Before I decided to send troops to Xindu City, you asked me at the time, did Juluze have to go, and at that time, did you already see through the plan of the frustrated people? ”

Jia Xu nodded heavily and didn't say anything.

"Why? Why do you do this, you obviously see through the ploy of the frustrated professor. Why don't you just sue me? Do you know that our army lost more than 20,000 soldiers in this battle? Did you know that my elite soldiers were wiped out in one of your words? Lin Nan really couldn't figure out why Jia Xu did this, and shouted angrily.

Jia Xu crouched on the ground. raised his head and looked at Lin Nan, and said directly: "Now that the matter has come to this, I, Jia Xu, have told the lord frankly, and there are only two reasons why I made this decision." One is for myself, and the other is for my lord. I started from Liangzhou to follow the lord. I have long regarded the Lord as the only person I serve, and the Lord is a very wonderful person to me, and he is also very kind to me. But people are selfish, and I am no exception. I don't care how many advisors the lord has, but all I care is. Does the lord put me first......"

"I made you a military general, as my second lieutenant, you can also handle all the military and political powers, isn't this enough to satisfy you?" Lin Nan interrupted Jia Xu's words.

Jia Xu sneered: "Lord, it seems that you haven't figured out what I Jia Xu wants, what I want is not power, I only care about whether I am the first in the heart of the lord." The lord has recruited a lot of talents in the past two years, and I am also happy for the lord, and I recommend capable people to the lord at any time, but the lord has forgotten the agreement he made with me, and the opportunity to ask me first after encountering things is becoming less and less......"

Lin Nan finally understood what Jia Xu meant, he did have such an agreement with Jia Xu, no matter how many strategists there were in the future, he would be the first to ask Jia Xu when he encountered something, but as his strategists increased, his chances to ask Jia Xu became less and less. He didn't move, but continued to ask, "What did you mean when you said it was for me?" ”

Jia Xu said: "What you can't get is always the best, probably the lord thinks so in his heart." At the beginning, the lord did not persuade the lord to take refuge, and at this time, he knew that the frustration was arrested, and there would definitely be some stumbling in his heart, although the frustration was a great talent, but he was always Yuan Shao's person, if he really wanted to follow the lord, he had left with the lord three years ago, so why wait until now? Xun You is the Huangmen squire, Xun Chen is the Yilang, Zhong Xuan is the Zhongsan doctor, these people are all people who have official positions in the court, but they have given up their original official positions in order to follow the lord, especially Xun You, when the lord was still poor and white, he never gave up on the lord. However, the lord snubbed the hearts of his own soldiers for the sake of someone who couldn't get it. If the price of more than 20,000 soldiers is exchanged for the trust of the lord in his family in the future, his subordinates think it is worth it. The subordinates have already made estimates, with the combat strength of our army, even if they fall into the trap of frustration, they will definitely not be wiped out, let alone defeated, and more than 20,000 people are also estimated, which was already expected by me. ”

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Lin Nan knew that Jia Xu had good intentions, he calmed the anger in his heart, pulled Jia Xu up with his own hands, bowed deeply and said: "The military advisor is above, please accept my Lin Nan's worship!" ”

Jia Xu hurriedly said: "This can't be helped, the lord is now a golden body, as long as the lord can understand the good intentions of his subordinates." In fact, the subordinates' trick was really vicious, and they buried more than 20,000 of their own soldiers and horses at once, and even their subordinates felt a little regretful. But if you don't let the lord experience it himself, the lord can't understand it. The world is big, and there are countless talents. If you can't let the lord suffer a loss now, then maybe the lord guild will suffer an even bigger loss in talent in the future. ”

Lin Nan breathed a sigh of relief, and before he could speak, he saw Lin Yang walk in outside the door, hugged his fists and said, "Lord Qiqi, Guan Hai, Zhang He, Chen Dao, and Chu Yan are all back." And brought back the bodies of all the fallen soldiers from the battlefield, among which General Anton Hu Yu ......"

"What's wrong with Hu Yu?" Lin Nan hurriedly asked.

Lin Yang sighed and said, "Hu Yu has already died......

Hearing the news of Hu Yu's death, Lin Nan's heart was sad, he squinted at Jia Xu, and there was an indescribable look in his eyes, both anger and regret, and a trace of respect for Jia Xu.

Jia Xu was a little uncomfortable stared at by Lin Nan's gaze. Twisting his face, he hurriedly said to Lin Yang: "Report the list of all the fallen soldiers, and give three times the military salary to all those who died in battle to appease the families of the fallen soldiers." ”

Lin Yang glanced at Lin Nan, and when he saw Lin Nan nodding lightly, he hugged his fists and said, "No!" ”

When Jia Xu saw Lin Yang withdraw from the hall, he arched his hand to Lin Nan and said, "Lord, your subordinates are guilty." This position of general can no longer be held, and the lord is asked to remove all his subordinate positions. As a punishment, his subordinates were also willing to give all their family property to the families of the fallen soldiers. ”

Lin Nan sighed and said slowly: "That's it! Only you know about this matter, so bury this matter forever, this black cauldron, I will carry it. Go and draw up a guilty plea for me. In addition, together with Xun You, Guo Jia and others, a martyr's monument was erected in the east of the city of Gauntao, engraved with the names of all the fallen soldiers, and then the whole army wore filial piety, lowered the flag at half-mast, and mourned for the dead. And began to prepare a memorial service to pay tribute to the souls who died in this battle! ”

Jia Xu frowned, he didn't seem to understand what kind of monuments, memorial services, flags were lowered at half-mast, silence and the like, but he didn't dare to ask Lin Nan, after all, he was the one who lost this battle. He didn't say anything, looked at the sadness on Lin Nan's face, and arched his hand and said: "Please mourn on the Lord's Day, and your subordinates will retire!" ”

When Lin Nan saw Jia Xu turn around, he said loudly: "Call Xun You, Guo Jia, and Ouyang Yinying!" ”

"No!"

After Jia Xu exited the hall, Lin Nan called someone to come in and clean the broken wine jar on the ground, and not long after, Xun You, Guo Jia, and Ouyang Yinying entered the hall.

"See the lord!" Xun You, Guo Jia, and Ouyang Yinying said in unison.

Lin Nan waved his hand and said, "No courtesy, sit!" ”

After the three of them sat down, Lin Nan went straight to the point and said: "Hu Yu died heroically in order to cover the retreat of the main force of our army, as the best candidate to defend Dongyi, once he dies, the land of Dongyi will be unguarded." The situation in Dongyi is complicated, there must be a person who is familiar with the customs and folklore of Dongyi to go to the town, I haven't thought of a suitable candidate for a while, do you have any suitable candidates in your hearts? ”

Guo Jia arched his hand and said: "The four generals under Hu Yu's account, Wang Wenjun, Bai Yu, Shi Jie, and Li Yulin, are all people who have been waiting for Dongyi for a long time, and the lord should be selected from these four people." ”

Xun You said: "Lord, now is the time to employ people, Wang Wenjun, Bai Yu, Shi Jie, and Li Yulin all have their own strengths, and Dongyi is temporarily managed by Yiyimo, so there should be no big problems." Now the top priority is how to seize Jizhou, as for the person who chooses to guard Dongyi, his subordinates think that Zhong Limu can be in charge. Zhong Limu is Hu Yu's nephew, and he has been in Lelang County with Hu Yu for a long time, and I also heard that Hu Yu once wrote a book on the customs and customs of Dongyi, which recorded the customs and habits of the entire Dongyi. It is better for Zhong Limu and Yiyimo to jointly take charge of Dongyi, and the lord will set up Dongyi Captain, let Zhonglimu be in charge of the soldiers, and let Yiyimo be in charge, with these two people, Dongyi should be safe. ”

After hearing this, Lin Nan nodded lightly: "Okay, that's it." Fengxiao, if you draw up a letter of appointment, let Zhong Limu be the captain of Dongyi, let Yiyimo serve as the governor, and let the two of them guard Dongyi for me. ”

"No!"

Ouyang Yinying arched his hand and said: "Lord, our army has lost a lot of soldiers in this battle, and the edge has gradually weakened. ”

"This is the second purpose of my call you here, although our army has suffered heavy losses this time, but Yuan Shao's Zhao army has also lost most of it, according to this situation, our army will inevitably form a confrontation with Yuan Shao's Zhao army, Nanpi has 20,000 surrendered troops, Zang Ba led 13,000 people to capture the plain county of Qingzhou, there are also 30,000 surrendered troops in the city of Gaunt, and the main force of our army still has 50,000 people, from the perspective of strength alone. Our army has already had Yuan Shao's Zhao army. According to my calculations, Yuan Shao's stealing of chickens and rice this time will not be successful, causing more than half of the army to be damaged, and he will inevitably retreat to Yecheng and stick to the city. Yecheng has been developed by Yuan Shao into the largest city in Jizhou, which is a fortified city. If you want to capture this city, it will definitely take a long time......" Lin Nan paused here and sat there thoughtfully.

Guo Jia hurriedly said: "My lord, if it drags on for a long time, it will be very detrimental to our army. In the past two years, under the leadership of Lu Bu, Bingzhou has grown significantly, often succumbing to the outside of the Saiwai, crisscrossing the grassland and the desert, and the Xianbei people gave him the title of "Flying General". Courteously stand. In the past two years, our army has had some friction with the Jin army in the Daijun area, although it was resolved one by one by General Zhao Yun at that time, but once Lu Bu learned that the rear of our army was empty, it was very likely that he would lead his troops to attack our army. ”

Xun You added: "Although Daijun has Gai Xun as the Taishou and the 30,000 Wuhuan Raid Cavalry of Qiu Liju, Nanlou, and Wuliden to defend, it may be slightly insufficient in the face of Lu Bu. Our army can't fight on two fronts now, and the only way is to try to get Lu Bu to switch the target of the attack to other directions. ”

After Lin Nan listened, he said, "Your scruples are also my scruples. The blitzkrieg of our army only worked on Gongsun Zhan, and Yuan Shao's soldiers were many generals. After breaking into Jizhou, it will inevitably fall into a siege war, and it will also be delayed. So, in your opinion, how to deal with the potential threat of Lu Bu? ”

"Lu Bu is a lustful and greedy man, as long as the lord can lure him to his advantage, let Lu Bu lead the army to attack Yuan Shao with our army. Lu Bu is belligerent and will surely accept it gladly. Ouyang Yinying also learned about Lu Bu from many places in the past two days, and immediately replied.

Lin Nan thought for a while and said to Xun You: "Immediately repair a book and send someone to Jinyang." Ask Lu Bu to bring troops to Jizhou and attack Yuan Shao with our army, and after the matter is completed, Changshan County, Zhao County, and Wei County will be given to him as a gift of thanks. ”

After hearing this, Xun You, Guo Jia, and Ouyang Yinying were all stunned, and it took a long time to react, and said in unison: "The lord thinks twice, our army attacked Yuan Shao in order to seize Jizhou, and now the lord has given the three counties to Lu Bu, which is equivalent to luring the wolf into the house and dividing Jizhou into two." ”

Lin Nan smiled hesitantly and said loudly: "If you want to take it, you must give it first." I'm going to start putting a long line now, catching big fish, and I'll exchange the land of the three counties for the entire annexation of Lu Bu, which is more important, can't you still see it? ”

When Xun You heard Lin Nan say this, his brain hurriedly moved, quickly turned around several times, thought about it, then brushed the green beard on his chin, and smiled knowingly.

Lin Nan saw Xun You smiling, so he said to Xun You: "Since you have already understood how to join the army, let's hurry up and repair the book, at the latest two years, I will firmly control the entire north of the Yellow River in my own hands." ”

Guo Jia and Ouyang Yinying didn't quite understand it, and the two young men and women looked at Lin Nan and Xun You, who had never experienced major events, and immediately asked, "Lord, can you show me?" ”

Lin Nan smiled but did not answer, turned around and left the hall.

When Xun You saw Lin Nan leaving, he gave a thumbs up and praised: "The lord is a person who sees the world, if this strategy is successful, he will inevitably become the hero of Jizhou." ”

Guo Jia and Ouyang Yinying looked at each other and asked, "What is the strategy?" ”

"Qu Wolf!" Xun You replied.

"Qu Wolf?" Guo Jia and Ouyang Yinying asked in unison.

Xun You saw that the two of them didn't quite understand, so he explained: "I already have a general understanding of the lord's meaning, let Lu Bu attack Jizhou, in order not to let him attack Youzhou, and to lure him to his advantage, Lu Bu will definitely accept it gladly." However, the Jin army is a brave and ruthless wolf, and although the military strength of the state has increased a lot under the control of Lu Bu in the past two years, it has made the people miserable in internal affairs, otherwise, they will not go out of the fortress many times to rob the cattle and sheep of the Xianbei people. Once Lu Bu entered Jizhou with the Jin army, even if he was given the land of the three counties, he would not make good use of it, but would arouse the disgust of the people of Jizhou. At that time, as long as the lord instigates Lü Bu to occupy Sili again, once Lü Bu is far away from Jizhou and the army of Bingzhou is empty, our army only needs to block the various ferries along the Yellow River and prevent Lü Bu from returning north, with the prestige of the lord in Jizhou and the popularity of the people in the hearts of the people, he only needs to send a partial army into Bingzhou, and Bingzhou will naturally fall into the hands of the lord. ”

After Guo Jia and Ouyang Yinying heard this, they were all excited, and immediately said: "The lord is wise and martial, and he is really a rare male lord in the world." ”

Xun You smiled, walked out of the hall, and secretly thought in his heart: "Lord." I guess you can't be wrong. It seems that the day of winning the Central Plains is not far away. ”

After Lin Nan returned to his residence, he received a report from the scout, saying that Liu Bei had deceived the Yan and Zhao armies by deceiving death, and was taking Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others to Yanzhou. After listening to it, he had to sigh at Liu Bei's obscurity. The vitality is so tenacious.

In the next two days, the whole army in the city of Ghotao wore filial piety, and the military flag was also halfway through, when the monument was completed and erected day and night, Hu Yu and the heroic souls of the 23,617 Yan soldiers were comforted by all the Yan army, and they unanimously mourned for three minutes, creating a precedent for chasing down the dead, and also making the death a kind of glory.

Zhong Limu left Jizhou with the letter of appointment and the book written by Hu Yu and rushed to Dongyi to take office. And the scouts who carried the letter to Jinyang were also running non-stop, and Zang Ba also came with good news, he had captured Pingyuan County and blocked the Gaotang Ferry, making it impossible for Yuan Tan on the south bank to cross the river.

Lin Nan temporarily entered the recuperation stage of the army, waiting for a response from Cao Cao of Yanzhou and Lü Bu of Bingzhou, while Yuan Shao also withdrew from Juluze. The turtle retreated to Yecheng, and the Yan and Zhao armies formed a confrontation in Jizhou.

Yanzhou.

Outside the north gate of Changyi City. There was a constant stream of pedestrians, and on the wide avenue, stood two grizzled men, one of whom was in his thirties, thin and thin, wearing a long robe. Zheng gasped for breath, looking up at the big flags with the words "Cao" and "Wei" hanging on the city wall of Changyi fluttering in the wind, a trace of joy appeared on his face, he sighed, and said slowly: "It's finally ......."

This man is none other than him. It was Yan Hou Lin Nan's adviser Xu You. There was also a burly man standing next to Xu You, who was also tired, but he was not panting like Xu You, his chest was undulating, there were only beads of sweat on his forehead, and he was carrying two burdens on his back, looking at the huge Changyi City in front of him, without any expression.

Xu You straightened his waist and turned his head to the people beside him: "Wen Chang, we have gone through a lot of hardships, and we have finally arrived in Changyi today, after entering the city, I must have a good night's sleep, a good meal, and a good ......."

The person standing next to Xu You was Wei Yan, and he didn't wait for Xu You to finish speaking, so he directly interrupted Xu You's words: "Where did we get the money?" The entanglement is gone, what will you eat and drink after entering the city? ”

"Hmph, it's not all your fault, who let you gamble for money, we have to sleep all the way from Puyang, and finally have to sell the horses, you have to take full responsibility for this matter!" Xu Yu said to Wei Yan angrily.

Wei Yan's eyes widened, and he opened his mouth and said, "Blame me? It's all on my head, you gambled first, you lost the money, I just gambled. ”

"Don't blame you for whom, don't gamble if you don't understand, go up and bet all the plates, pay attention to the gambling table and leave your hand, the result is good, you lose more than I lost in a day. If I hadn't seen you take good care of me along the way, I would have strangled you to death when I woke up at night. Xu You was angry when he remembered what happened when he just arrived in Puyang City that day, and he couldn't wait to peel off three layers of Wei Yan's skin.

Wei Yan scratched his head, his confidence was slightly insufficient, and he squeaked: "This...... You can't blame me for this, I see that you always win money, I thought it was easy, but I knew that it was my turn, and I lost it all. But then I didn't ask them, why did you stop me? ”

"Willing to gamble and lose, don't you understand this truth? What's more, the place where we are located is the Wei State, in case things get bigger, how can we be worthy of the trust of the lord? ”

"Uh...... Then let's not fight now, anyway, there is no less tossing along the way, since we have arrived in Changyi City, we should hurry up and do the right thing, and when the business is done, we will go back quickly. Wei Yan didn't want to argue anymore, anyway, staying with Xu You along the way didn't suffer less.

Xu You let out a "hmm", slapped the dust on his body, tidied up his clothes, and walked straight towards the city gate, ignoring Wei Yan.

Wei Yan was not as particular as Xu You, and followed directly, anyway, he came to monitor Xu You along the way, and on the surface, he was a follower, but he actually wanted to know if Xu You had any abnormal behavior, because Xu You and Cao Cao were small, Lin Nan was worried that Xu You would switch to Cao Cao, and tell some secrets of the Yan Army.

Xu You went straight to the gate of the city, walked to a soldier guarding the gate, and said loudly: "Please go and tell Cao Mengde quickly, just say that Nanyang Xu You is here, let him come out to pick me up......"

"What did you say?" The soldier suddenly grabbed Xu You's shirt and shouted, "Is the name of my lord also called by you casually?" ”

The soldier raised his fist and was about to fight, Wei Yan saw it, hurriedly jumped over with an arrow step, grabbed the soldier's fist, squeezed it hard, the soldier who pinched it was in pain, screamed, raised his hand and kicked the soldier's abdomen, directly kicking the soldier away.

"There are spies...... There are spies ......" the soldiers around them began to shout.

The pedestrians near the city gate immediately flashed to the side, and a small group of soldiers poured out of the door hole of the city gate, and quickly surrounded Xu You and Wei Yan under the leadership of a tun commander.

Wei Yan raised his eyebrows angrily, looked around, and was not moved by these Wei soldiers at all, only blocking Xu Yu behind him.

"What's going on?" The commotion at the gate of the city attracted the attention of the guards on the castle tower, and when the guards saw that there was a commotion in Changyi City, which had always been very safe, they hurriedly poked their heads out of the city walls and shouted.

The soldier who was knocked down by Wei Yan got up from the ground and shouted, "General Qiyu, these two people despise the lord, and that man even started beating me, they must be spies sent by the enemy." ”

The guard was wearing a helmet and armor, and he glanced at Wei Yan, and saw that Wei Yan was burly and good-looking, so he said, "Wait, don't move, I'll come down." ”

In a short time, the guard came out of the doorway, his face was angular, and under the two heavy eyebrows were a pair of bright eyes, and his face had a short beard, and he was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, not burly, but he looked very strong. In his left hand, he held the hilt of his sword hanging from his waist and strode over.

After squeezing out of the crowd, he carefully looked at Wei Yan and Xu You, then beckoned to the beaten soldier and asked, "How did they despise the lord?" ”

The soldier pointed at Xu Yu and said, "That man called the lord by his name, and he was ashamed to let the lord come out to meet him......

The guard's eyes were sharp, his face was resolute, and he couldn't see any expression on his face, but he moved his lips, hugged his fists and asked, "In Xia Lejin, may I ask the names of the two people?" ”

As soon as Xu You heard that the other party's name was Le Jin, he walked out directly from behind Wei Yan, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "I have heard the name of General Le Jin under Meng De's account for a long time, Xu You in Xia Nanyang, this is ...... My servant, I was so offended. I just want to see Cao Mengde now, and I also ask General Le to report it, and say that I, Nanyang Xu You, are here, and let Mengde come out to meet me in person. ”

Le Jin secretly shouted in his heart: "Why did the strategists of the Yan Kingdom come here, is there something wrong with Jizhou?" ”

Thinking of this, Le Jin said: "Mr. Xu, I'm really sorry, my lord is entangled in official business, very busy, and he can't leave the Hou Mansion for a moment. In this way, how about I lead my husband to the Hou Mansion to meet my father-in-law? ”

Xu You's face was displeased, thinking that he and Cao Cao had played since childhood, such a relationship between the general horns and horns was by no means ordinary, since he came, Cao Cao should treat each other politely. He didn't answer, just stood there proudly, with a lot of unhappiness in his heart. (To be continued......)
