"According to what you say, is Gong Yuan reliable?"

Hearing that the county order would report the truth, Chen Qun thought for a moment and asked.

Hearing this, Bixian County Commander did not hesitate, and arched his hand and said: "Sir, the lower officials dare not fully guarantee that Gong Yuan is sincere in submitting to our army, but I am eighty percent sure, this should not be a fraud." ”

"Tell me what you think!"

At this time, Chen Qun frowned and said slowly.

Seeing this, Bixian Ling's face became more and more intense, knowing that as long as he behaved well in front of Chen Qun this time, when this battle was over, he would definitely promote himself when he returned to the court.

In this way, promotion is inevitable!

After having the belief, Bixian Ling was also full of thoughts, so he organized the following language and analyzed: "Sir, one is that Xia Guan has been in contact with Gong Yuan for several months, and judging from the information revealed in the letter, he is extremely dissatisfied with Liu Bei who abandoned them and led the people south to Jingzhou alone. ”

"From this, I conclude that Gong Yuan will never really be attached to the Jingzhou army."

"Second, in the past few days, General Xiahou has repeatedly defeated the Jingzhou army, causing Guan Ping to have to hold on, which must have a great impact on the morale of the army, and the water thieves are newly surrendered."

"Now the Jingzhou army is unable to suppress our army, but has fallen into passivity under the offensive of General Xiahou, and the water thieves are not at peace, Gong Yuan took the opportunity to retract, intending to unite our army, and the lower officials thought it was credible."

"Third, and most importantly, when General Xiahou and Mr. Xiahou had not yet led the army, Gong Yuan sent me a letter saying that he could lead some of the water thieves to surrender."

"At that time, the army had not arrived, and the strength in the city was limited, so I was afraid that the water thieves would be hastily surrendered, and the lower officials would not be able to control it, and secondly, I also hoped that the water thieves could be completely annihilated, so I temporarily let Gong Yuan continue to lurk and wait for our army to come to discuss."

"It's just that I didn't expect the Jingzhou army to take the lead and subdue the water thieves first."

When the words fell, the county commander of Bixian paused and muttered: "Sir, the suggestion of the lower official is that Gong Yuan is worth believing, but the specific battle is still based on the plan of Mr. and General Xiahou!" ”

Looking at the county order of Bixian County, Chen Qun's face couldn't help but move, and he secretly pondered: "Talking extraordinary, but also knowing how to advance and retreat, this person has the talent to defend the county, and when I return to the court after this battle, I must recommend it to the King of Wei." ”

"How long have you been in charge of the county order?"

Hearing this, although the county magistrate of Bixian County showed a look of doubt, he immediately gave up his hand and said: "Mr. Qiyu, the lower official has been appointed as the magistrate of Biyang County since King Wei destroyed the rebel Yuan Shu that year. ”

"So far, there have been more than 20 years!"

When the words fell, seeing that Biyang County Ling's eyes were full of depressed eyes, Chen Qun understood and said secretly: "For more than 20 years, he has not been promoted, and such a talent has been buried?" ”

"This time the Jingzhou army is coming, you have made good contributions, the war is over, and there will be a reward!"

"Xiaguan first thanks Mr. for his attention."

At this moment, the county commander of Biyang County was suddenly overjoyed, and solemnly bowed his hand and thanked him.

Chen Qun's words are in his words, to put it bluntly, you continue to perform, and return to Xudu after this battle, I will definitely show merit for you and recommend you.

For Biyang Ling, who is already over forty years old, what temptation can compare to promotion?

After thinking for a while, Chen Qun said: "If there is nothing else, you can go back and rest first, but remember not to reveal the conversation we are waiting for tonight." ”

"Especially General Xiahou!"

"No, the lower official obeys the order."

Seeing that Chen Qun's tone was so solemn, Biyang County Ling did not dare to slack off, and immediately responded firmly, and then left slowly.

Waiting for Biyang Ling to leave, Chen Quncai looked at the letter on the desk, staring at it for a long time, and his mind was also full of thoughts.

"Should we respond or not?"

"It's better than what Yang Ling said, as long as Gong Yuan sincerely responds to the water thieves and is willing to cooperate with the inside and outside, it will be easy to break the Jingzhou army."

"Just, is it worth the risk?"

After thinking about it a lot, all of a sudden, the rest of his thoughts came to his mind, and he muttered to himself: "No, now with the fierce battle between our army and the Jingzhou army, the thief armies in other places are also watching each other. ”

"This can be completely closed and dragged down the Jingzhou army, so that the situation can be easily stabilized."

"Although in response to the water thieves, there is a chance to annihilate the Jingzhou army, but it will also take a great risk, once this is indeed Guan Ping's trick, then our army will be in danger!"

After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Qun also vetoed the strategy of responding to Gong Yuan and breaking the Jingzhou army with the inside and outside, and continued to implement the strategy of stubbornness.

After all, Biyang's strategic location is too important, once it is lost, it will definitely affect the safety of Xu Du, and Chen Qun does not dare to take risks easily.

"Guan Ping look, since you are willing to spend time, then let's spend it, and see who can have the last laugh."

At this time, Chen Qun's face was gloomy and he said coldly.

"However, this letter must also be carefully guarded and not let the general know, otherwise with his record of breaking the Jingzhou army in the past few days, he will inevitably choose this strategy to annihilate the Jingzhou army."

Now, Chen Qun has secretly made up his mind in his heart to hide the matter of the letter, so that Xiahou Nan can't get the slightest rumor.

The next day, the shore water village

"Liu Jia, if the letter is sent, the enemy can reply?"

At this time, Guan Ping looked calm, glanced at him, and said slowly.

Hearing this, Liu Jia told truthfully: "Major General Qiyu, Cao Jun has not yet had the slightest news. ”

"Oh?"

"It seems that this letter was not delivered to Xiahou Nan, and it should have been cut off halfway."

"Otherwise, with our army showing such weakness, Xiahou Nan has won several games in a row, and if he learns that there are people in the army who have attached to him, he will definitely reply a letter a long time ago."

When the words fell, Guan Ping was only slightly surprised, and then slowly guessed.

"So, young general, what's next?"

"Don't worry, let Ben think!"

After a pause, Guan Ping said: "You continue to write letters and continue to contact each other every day." ”

"No!"

The order was handed down, and Liu Jia promised to retreat.

At this moment, Guan Pingcai slowly walked out of the village, looked at the water with his eyes, and muttered secretly: "It seems that the person who assists Xiahou Nan should not be underestimated!" ”

"Who is this person?"

Due to the lack of intelligence, the Jingzhou army at this time knew that Xiahou Nan was appointed by Cao Pi as the general of Annan and ordered to go south to patrol various regions, but they still did not know who assisted him!

After several days, every day Liu Jia would write a letter and secretly hand it over to the Cao Jun scouts outside the city to bring it back, but each time the letter disappeared and there was no response.

………

Biyang City, on the street.

At this time, on the long street, Xiahou Nan swirled his sword around his waist, and more than 100 guards around him escorted him, heading towards another mansion in the city.

During this time, every day, Xiahou Nan had to personally visit a wealthy family, and then use his power for personal gain and hoard family wealth.

Today, nature is no exception!

After walking for a long time, suddenly several Cao army scouts on the street rushed on their backs and galloped towards the barracks.

At this moment, when Xiahou Nan saw this, he couldn't help frowning, and said secretly: "Isn't this a fine work placed outside the city, what are they doing in a hurry to enter the city in a wild way?" ”

With a look of suspicion, Xiahou Nan slowly stepped forward and stood on the place where the scouts must pass forward, waiting.

"I've seen General Xiahou later!"

Hearing this, Xiahou Nan's face couldn't help but sink, and he said coldly: "What do you want to do when you wait outside the city to monitor the Jingzhou army and listen to the truth and truth, and enter the city in such a hurry?" ”

"General, the villains intercepted important military information outside the city, and now they are going to the barracks and handed over to Chen to join the army."

"Military intelligence, what military intelligence?"

"Take it out and take a look at it with Ben."

Seeing Xiahou Nan's look of anticipation, the scout captain led by him couldn't help but say, "General Xiahou, Coco... But there is an order to join the army, and this military information can only be reported to him. ”

"Please also ask the general to forgive the sin, the villain can't take it out!"

As soon as the words fell, the scout captain beckoned the rest of the scouts to apologize to Xiahou Nan, and then bypassed him and left directly.

At this time, Xiahou Nan became angry and shouted: "Listen to the order, follow the general to the barracks." ”

When the order was passed, the guards immediately changed their route and surrounded Xiahou Nan towards the barracks.

At this moment, Xiahou Nan's face was extremely gloomy, he was really angry, he never expected that everything in the army would be controlled by Chen Qun alone.

And he, General Annan, has become an ornament, and even the scouts only know Chen Qun's orders.
