Chapter 499: Xuzhou Prepares for War

"Now I can only write a letter to Cao Yanzhou first and attribute the blame to Zhang Min." Tao Qian took a breath and continued: "If Cao Cao wants to raise troops to take revenge, he must attack my Taishan camp first, although Cao Bao has bravery, but he is not handsome, I don't know if Duke Lu is willing to go to Mount Tai to sit in the town?" ”

Lu Zhi didn't want Xu Yan to fight, and felt that it would be better for him to go to Mount Tai to mediate the matter, so he bowed his head and said, "It's okay, you can let Xuande Tun soldiers Xiaopei and the area, in case Cao Cao uses troops from now on." ”

As mentioned above, the geographical location of Xiaopei is extremely important for Xuzhou, because in ancient times, wars must rely on rivers to quickly transport grain and grass, and mastering Xiaopei suppressed many important rivers in Surabaya and Jishui, if the enemy army can not capture Pei County, it can only go Langya from Mount Tai, and then go south through a large area of mountains and hills along Yishui to Xuzhou to the East China Sea Tancheng.

Tao Qian is also a soldier who knows the soldiers, so he naturally understands Lu Zhi's intentions, and nods and says, "I will transfer Cao Hong to help Xuande." ”

Hearing that Tao Qian wanted Cao Hong to help Liu Bei, Lu Zhi couldn't help but look at Tao Qian deeply.

Cao Hong is not a great talent, and he is not proficient in martial arts, but he is his own person brought by Tao Qian from Yangzhou, so he is trusted by Tao Qian.

Tao Qian used him, and his intention was self-evident.

In Xuzhou, Liu Bei is Lu Zhi's hardcore, and he naturally has to fight for Liu Bei's interests.

"With Cao Zhizhong's help, it is naturally very good, but Cao Cao is very human, Xuande lacks soldiers and horses, and when the Pi soldiers are transferred to help."

Tao Qian nodded and said, "It's okay, I'll let Chen Deng lead three thousand soldiers and horses to help." ”

Hearing Chen Deng, Lu Zhi was satisfied.

Among the many young scholars in Xuzhou, the one that Lu Zhi values the most is this Chen Deng, although this person attaches too much importance to the interests of the family, but he has talent.

Tao Qian's military order soon spread to Liu Bei in Pengcheng with the fast horse, and Liu Bei received the military order and immediately found Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others to discuss.

Liu Bei has lived a good life in the past two years, compared with Cao Cao, who has been displaced for a year, and Yuan Shao, who was beaten by Ma Qiang and withdrew from Jizhou, he is at ease in Pengcheng.

In the past two years, he, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have all married wives, but because of their busy official duties, the three of them have slept together in the government office much more than at home.

Liu Bei, who served as the minister of Pengcheng, was not proud of being promoted to the county guard, but became more and more humble because he found his lack of ability in dealing with various affairs, not only often consulted local scholars, but also got rid of his love for American clothes, even if the conditions are good now, he still wears linen clothes every day, and he has no national appearance when talking to people, and often goes deep into the people's homes to understand the people's feelings, and has been supported by Pengcheng, and many people have come to take refuge.

The most valued by Liu Bei is Sun Qian.

Sun Qian is a native of Beihai and a disciple of Zheng Xuan, who is calm, talented, and sociable, and has made many ideas for Liu Bei to govern Pengcheng.

"I didn't expect this to happen." After listening to Liu Bei's introduction, Sun Gan shook his head and said, ""The Book of Rites: Qu Lishang" has a cloud: the enemy's hatred, Fu and the sky, Cao Cao will definitely raise troops to take revenge, Xuzhou has been peaceful for several years, but I didn't expect to suffer from the disaster of swords. ”

"Big brother, General Cao and we also have some friendship, can you mediate between them? Wait for the spring of next year, everyone will fight Dong Zhuo and hide together, what kind of strength will their own people fight. Zhang Fei muttered.

"Master Lu can't mediate, and when the eldest brother speaks, I'm afraid he Cao Cao won't listen." Guan Yu shook his head and said, "Brother, I think a big war is inevitable, Tao Envoy Jun and Lu Gong want us to send troops to Pei County, they must think the same way." ”

Liu Bei stroked his beard and said, "Yun Chang's words are reasonable, but even if there is only hope for this matter, it is still necessary to try, if it can be successful, it will save the people of the two states from suffering from swords." ”

Zhang Fei suddenly shouted, "That's right! You can let the camp owner come forward! The battalion owner is now the general of Zhenbei, holding the two states of Qingdao and Hebei, if the battalion owner speaks, he Cao Cao will not dare not listen! ”

Zhang Fei has some fascination with Ma Qiang, and he always feels that Ma Qiang can solve any problem.

At this point, Cao Ang said that I am the same.

"That's right! If it can be said that Ma Zhenbei is involved in this matter, Cao Cao will definitely worry about three points. Sun Qian also felt that Zhang Fei's idea was good.

"That's good, I sent two letters to Qingzhou and Yanzhou respectively, but we can't just hope for mediation and not prepare for war, otherwise we will suffer from Xuzhou."

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he got up and came to Yutu and said to his two brothers, "Third brother, you lead a thousand of your own soldiers as the vanguard to take Xiaopei, Yuzhou is now leaderless, you have to salute first and then soldier, it is best not to hurt people."

Yun Chang, you immediately gather the sergeants who are returning home from vacation to return to the camp, and then join me as the rear team.

Gongyou, I'm afraid I'll be in Xiaopei for the next period of time, and Pengcheng's government affairs will be handed over to you, and I will leave Fu Ren to help you. ”

"No!"

Liu Bei, who has been silent for a long time, is about to re-enter the big stage of the world, and Zhang Min, who caused all this, has rushed all the way to Jiujiang.

I have to say, he ran really fast!

Zhang Min knew that after the matter was revealed, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou could not tolerate him, and his only way to survive was to employ Yuan Highway regardless of his background.

From the perspective of employing people, Yuan Shu is the real meritocracy, in addition to Sun Jiajun, there are more generals from bandits among his subordinates, such as Mei Gan, Lei Xu, Chen Lan and others, all of whom used to be thieves in Wuthering Mountains, and naturally there is no shortage of him.

What's more, he brought a lot of gifts.

Sure enough, when he learned that Zhang Min had intercepted and killed Cao Song, and then saw several boxes of gold beads dedicated to him, Yuan Shu only felt that our old Yuan family was really happy today, so that Cao Mengde had nothing to trouble me, retribution is coming!

After being happy, Yuan Shu waved his pen and named Zhang Min as a lieutenant, leaving him to listen to it in the army.

Anyway, he is far away from Cao Cao now, even if you Cao Cao wants to trouble me, please kill Tao Qian first.

"I don't know what kind of expression Cao Mengde will have when he knows that his father was killed, oh hahahaha!" Yuan Shu looked at the north and laughed, eager to fly in front of Cao Cao now to see him.

But the one who knew faster than Cao Cao was Ma Qiang, who was far away in Jizhou.

Well... Long live the telegram!

"Xiahoudun went to pick up Cao Song? Well? Or was he robbed and killed by Zhang Min? Oh, I'm not dead yet..."Ma Qiang looked at the information sent by Guo Jia in a hurry, with a helpless expression.

I have a pretty good impression of this old lady Cao.

In these years, those who do things when they receive money are all good officials!

Still is?

Guo Jia and Jia Xu glanced at each other and hurriedly shifted their gaze.

Could it be that Ming Gong already knew that Zhang Min would rob and kill Cao Song?

Or rather... Behind this incident, is Ming Gong secretly manipulating?

Guo Jia and Jia Xu's two smart minds were immediately full of imagination.

Of course, these speculations, they didn't dare to ask Ma Qiang even if they were killed.
