"How are Lu Bu's soldiers and horses?" Xun Yu began to ask about the things he cared about.

Speaking of this, Xiahoudun turned around and asked for an arrow, handed it to Xun Yu, Xun Yu took it and looked at it, and immediately returned the arrow to Xiahoudun and said, "You can't tell anyone about this!" ”

Cao Ang looked at Xun Yu strangely.

Xun Yu let out a long breath and said slowly, "It's Red Star Iron!" ”

Red Star Iron, specifically refers to the iron produced by the Red Star Iron and Steel Plant, said to be iron, but in fact it is steel, because of the advanced technology, it is very popular with all parties, and there are many in the Cao army, and therefore, Xun Yu, a military general like Xiahoudun and Xun Yu, who is almost full of internal affairs points, are very familiar with this kind of iron, and they recognize it just by looking at it.

There was Red Star Iron in Lü Bu's army, which also explains the source of ordnance in Lü Bu's army.

Cao Ang's face was full of disbelief and disappointment.

"Ma Zhengbei just sold Lu Bu some ordnance, before Lu Bu attacked us, there was nothing wrong, didn't we also buy a lot of their ordnance." Xun Yu said with a smile, looking indifferent.

"Newspaper!! A troop of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared outside the city, numbering tens of thousands of people! ”

What the?

Could it be Lu Bu and Zhang Miao??

Xun Yu looked at Xiahoudun, and Xiahoudun said with a dark face, "We have been running for a day and a night, and entering the city to kill the enemy has consumed the last breath of the soldiers, and now there is no way to meet the enemy, and half of my soldiers and horses have been lost." ”

After a day and night of rapid marching, many people couldn't stand being left behind, and now the soldiers and horses in Xiahoudun's hands were more than 4,000 people, plus the soldiers and horses in the city, but only six or seven thousand.

"Let's go to the city and have a look."

A group of people came to the city, and Xun Yu and the others took out their binoculars and looked into the distance.

A big flag with the character of Guo fluttered in the air, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

It's not like Lu Bu.

But Guo... Who will it be?

Xun Yu thought for a while, shook his head and sighed, "Chen Gong is a good method, so it seems that the south of Juancheng has rebelled." ”

"Could it be that ... This person is Guo Gong? Xiahoudun blinked, a little incredulous.

Guo Gong is also the assassin of Yuzhou, sent by Chang'an, he arrived in Yuzhou and found that it was like a pot of porridge, and finally used all means to take root in Liang State, which is a small prince.

also because he had the appointment of Chang'an, Cao Cao had some scruples and did not move him, Liu Bei on the side had no reason to beat him, and Yuan Shu in the south was still recovering his anger, but let him live a good life for a few days.

But in the eyes of Xiahoudun and others, this person is like a dry bone in the well, how could they never imagine that they would dare to lead the army to fight the Yanzhou Prefecture!

But look at the soldiers and horses outside the city, at least 10,000 or 20,000 people, it seems that they are really qualified to fight.

"This is really a tiger falling in Pingyang being bullied by dogs! What cats and dogs dare to come to our Yanzhou wilderness! Xiahou was angry, and he also knew that he couldn't win outside the city now, so he could only get over his mouth.

At this time, he walked out of Guo Gong's army and came to the city and shouted, "My envoy invites Xun Gong to go out of the city to see him!" ”

Xun Yu looked at Guo Gong who was in the middle of the army in the distance, took a breath, and shouted, "Since it is an old man who is visiting, I naturally want to see it!" ”

"No!" Xiahou said urgently, "Mr. is the barrier of Yanzhou, if you go, it will definitely be dangerous, you must not go!" ”

Cao Ang also said, "Yes, if the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, the gentleman can't go!" ”

Listen, whether it is Xiahoudun or Cao Ang, one is Cao Cao's first general, and the other is Cao Cao's eldest son, they all default to Xun Yu being the backbone of Yanzhou today, Xun Yu's status in Cao's army, and Zhuge Liang's status in Liu Bei's army is almost indistinguishable, and it can even be said to be higher.

"Guo Gong has no contact with Zhang Miao and Chen Gong, he came here just to see if there is a chance, now that the rebellion in our city has been quelled, he doesn't know the truth, as long as I say good words, it is not difficult to retreat him!"

Xun Yu, who was just in his early thirties, stroked his beard and chuckled, his face was full of confidence, Xiahoudun and Cao Ang were helpless when they saw this, so they could only let Xun Yu out of the city.

Xun Yu sat in an ox cart to show that he would never run away, and slowly entered Guo Gong's army under the leadership of the sergeant.

One minute, two minutes.

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour.

Just when Xiahoudun couldn't wait, he saw Guo Gong's army begin to retreat, Xun Yu and Guo Gong came to the city together with a smile, and then parted reluctantly.

Xiahoudun and the others at the head of the city were almost stupid.

"Sir... Why did Guo Gong withdraw? ”

"It's very simple, even if Guo Gong takes our Juancheng, will Lu Bu and the others admit it? When the time comes, it's just a praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches in the back, making wedding dresses for others, I told him that now Yuzhou is empty, Liu Bei has been defeated by Cao Gong, instead of wading through this muddy water in Yanzhou, it is better to attack Peiguo, be a veritable Yuzhou assassin history, or be a Yuzhou pastor.

What I said is reasonable, he is also a smart man, so he naturally withdrew his troops, and he also left some grain and grass, General Xiahou, you sent troops to pick it up, just to defend the city. ”

Xun Yu's operation, what made Xiahoudun and others admire was that the five bodies threw themselves to the ground, and they went to the outside of the city to receive grain and grass with a smile.

Xun Yu and Cao Ang returned to the state mansion while secretly thinking about Chen Gong's next move.

I can see that the key to Yanzhou is in Juancheng, Dong'e, and Fanxian, and Chen Gong must also be able to see it.

Dong'e won't have a problem, it's up to Fan County, Zhongde, everything is up to you!

And Qingzhou... Will that iron-faced state pastor take the opportunity to send troops to Yanzhou...

Cao Gong, come back quickly, if you don't come back, we will be ready to wander.

Just as Xun Yu thought, Chen Gong also knew where Yanzhou's key points were, and he was ready to lead the army to capture Dong'e with Lu Bu, and sent his troops to capture Fanxian, hoping to completely pacify Yanzhou before Cao Cao returned.

- Fan County

Cheng Yu took the cavalry to the city of Fanxian and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was still a Cao Jun flag on the head of Fanxian County.

The county commander of Fan County was Jin Yun, a native of Yuzhou, and a talent obtained by Cao Cao when he attacked Yuzhou.

When he learned that Cheng Yu was coming, he came out to greet him crying, still holding a letter in his hand.

Cheng Yu sighed in his heart and knew that something was wrong.

"Why is Jin County Ling crying?"

"Cheng Gong, you came just in time, what happened now? Why did Chen Gongtai arrest my mother and my wife and little brother? ”

？？？

Cheng Yu took the letter and found that it was indeed written by Chen Gong, saying that Jin Yun's family had already stayed in Chen, and hoped that Jin Yun would think about his family, abandon the darkness and turn his back on Cao Cao, raise the banner of righteousness, and said that he would send soldiers and horses to take over Fan County.

Cheng Yu took a breath, looked at Jin Yun and said, "Chen Gong and Zhang Miao betrayed Ming Gong and Yanzhou for their own selfishness, and let us Yanzhou fall into the sword war again, such a person, do you want to serve?"

I heard that being a courtier should have the ability to choose a king, Lu Bu is just a horseman, Zhang Miao, Chen Gong, and Lu Bu are suspicious of each other, but they are scattered, and there is no righteousness, and what about Ming Gong? The young hero, who opposed Dong Shouyi, and saved our Yanzhou from danger, this is the master.

If you forget the righteousness for the sake of filial piety, I don't blame you, I just hope that Qingshi will open up to you. ”
