After Sima Yi left, Cao Cao turned his head to look at Xi Zhicai: "Zhicai, what do you think?" ”

Xi Zhicai nodded: "Wealth and danger are sought, this plan is feasible." ”

Cao Cao also bowed his head and said, "That's what I mean." Although our army now occupies Qing and Yan's two prefectures, it is weak and tired, but it cannot be compared with others. Only by coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes can they rise quickly. ”

"The Lord is wise. Ahem. Without saying a word, Xi Zhicai began to cough violently again.

Cao Cao walked over, patted him on the back, and remained silent.

Xi Zhicai's physical condition at this time is like a time bomb, and he may die at any time, but there is no good way for anyone to do this.

In order to prolong his life, he took Wushisan more frequently, and although Cao Cao knew it, he could only sigh with admiration.

After coughing for a while, Xi Zhi finally calmed down, and was about to give up his thanks, but was stopped by Cao Cao.

Xi Zhicai paused, and slowly spoke: "Lord, Zhong Da has the means and the scheming, and this time the audience is not small. Zhicai can't continue to assist the lord, and the lord must be more careful. ”

"Zhicai."

Xi Zhicai shook his head slowly and said, "I also sent someone to investigate the matter of welcoming the Son of Heaven earlier, so Sima Fang has already prepared in Chang'an, and it will definitely be successful." The lord should think about what follows. ”

Cao Cao nodded and began to think about Xi Zhicai's words.

However, Xi Zhicai didn't let Cao Cao think for too long, and then said, "Have you ever heard of Xun Yu? ”

"Xun Wenruo? Naturally, I have heard that he has been named 'Wang Zuozhicai' since he was a child, but I heard that this person has already joined Lu Bu. Saying this, Cao Cao sighed regretfully.

The relationship between Xun Yu's uncle and nephew and Cao Cao is also very good, but when Cao Cao wanted to recruit the two, Lu Bujie took the lead and asked the two to go over in the name of the Son of Heaven, which made Cao Cao depressed for a long time.

Xi Zhicai smiled and said: "Mr. Wen Ruo has great talent, and he is a hundred times better than Zhicai, and Zhicai also knows that the lord cherishes this person, so he used some small means, and it will not be long before this person will abandon Lu Bu and go, and the lord must seize the opportunity." ”

Cao Cao's eyes widened, looking at Xi Zhicai, with a look of surprise.

Xi Zhicai smiled and explained like this, and after Cao Cao listened, a strange look suddenly appeared on his face.

After a while, Cao Cao smiled and said, "It's good that you are a drama talent, and you are so calculating your husband." If Wen Ruo is again, you must look good. ”

Cao Cao naturally knew that Xi Zhicai had been looking for a successor for him, and his heart was extremely moved, the more this Xi Zhicai thought about him, the more Cao Cao felt that he owed him too much psychologically.

The two monarchs and ministers looked at each other like this, and many words did not need to be spoken, and each other could understand them immediately.

Xun Yu finally left, leaving behind a long letter, which drifted away without a trace, and left with a military general named Wu Nan.

It happened very suddenly, Lu Bu just received a letter from Xun You a few days ago, telling a rough story about the quarrel between their uncle and nephew before.

Lu Bu noticed that something was wrong at that time, and Xun Yu was loyal to the Han family until his death.

Lu Bu naturally knew about Zhen's sale of illicit salt and iron tools, and it was carried out under Lu Bu's private instructions, Xun Yu understood the reason after thinking about it.

Lu Bu's behavior has touched Xun Yu's bottom line, Lu Bu knows, Xun Yu also knows.

Therefore, it has always been done in secret before, and Lu Bu has also thought about transferring Xun Yu away from the grassland, so that he will not be able to touch these things, and it will be better.

But there was really no one available in his hands, so Lu Bu was lucky.

After Gu Yong came over, Lu Bu originally planned to send Gu Yong to replace Xun Yu after a few months of training, but he didn't expect that the matter was exposed so quickly, and Xun Yu's attitude was so resolute.

After learning that the uncle and nephew were unhappy, Xun Yu left in less than two days.

In the letters left by Xun Yu, everything on the grassland was roughly explained, regardless of size, but other than that, there was no mention of other things.

Only at the end of the letter, a few words were left: "Yu, I will be Hanchen all my life." ”

Putting down the letter, Lu Bu sighed and closed his eyes.

Tian Feng looked at the long letter, Lu Bu had already told him about the cause and effect of the incident.

At this time, he was also very sad, he was still very empathetic to Xun Yu's thoughts, he had this idea before, that time, he thought about it for a long time, and finally felt that this rotten court was powerless.

In addition, Tian Feng himself is also a person who values love and righteousness, Lu Bu treats him with sincerity, how can he not be moved, so he finally made up his mind to follow Lu Bu.

Tian Feng looked up at Lu Bu and found that Lu Bu's state was very sluggish, so he opened his mouth and persuaded him: "Lord, the matter has come to this point, please relax your mind." Although Wen Ruo left, the grassland has stabilized, and Wen Ruo's move can be regarded as a successful retirement. ”

Lu Bu nodded, Tian Feng was right, Xun Yu is still a person with a beginning and an end after all, in fact, the matter of private salt is just a fuse, as smart as Xun Yu has long seen Lu Bu's thoughts, so he has always refused to really take effect.

Now it's just a reason to leave him.

He also collected his thoughts and said, "Sir, who do you think can go and replace Wen Ruo's vacancy?" ”

After thinking for a while, Tian Feng spoke: "Zhang Shan has been following the lord for a long time, and he has had a lot of contacts with the grassland tribes, so it is appropriate to send this person there, but Zhang Shan can only be supplemented. ”

Lu Bu nodded, what Tian Feng said was not bad, as early as Lu Bu's first expedition to the grassland, Zhang Shan followed him as a guide to fight, and then he has been doing his best, although he has no great success, but he has worked hard, and it is appropriate to send this person to serve as a deputy.

Tian Feng pondered again for a long time, and then spoke: "Gongda is good at making strange strategies, and now our army is going to use troops, so this is indispensable." On the grassland side, it is necessary to send someone who can stabilize the scene. ”

After a pause, Tian Feng spoke again: "The Taishan Goat family has been honest for generations, and this person is fair and good at handling government affairs. ”

After Lu Bu heard Tian Feng's words, he didn't say anything for a long time, originally he wanted Gu Yong to take Xun Yu's place, but Tian Feng's suggestion was obviously more practical.

Yang Wei is fair and strict, honest and honest, and is indeed a good hand in handling local government affairs.

Zhang Shan was born in a businessman, he is a delicate person, and he is also familiar with dealing with Xianbei people, and with him, there is no need to worry about Zhen's small actions from the business side.

On the other hand, Gu Yongjing is good at internal affairs, and Lu Bu is really inseparable from him, so that Gu Yong can coordinate the overall situation here and be more able to play his role.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu stroked his palms and laughed: "Sir's policy is extremely appropriate, so act accordingly." ”

On the second day, Lü Bu issued an order to let Yang Wei and Zhang Shan go to the grassland to take charge of the affairs over there, and at the same time, Bai Xun You was transferred to help Zhang He attack Tongguan.

However, it was said that Zhao Yun and his entourage, after receiving Lu Bu's instructions, Xiaoxing stayed overnight and galloped all the way to Chang'an.

It was also a shame that because of Dong Zhuo's death at this time, Chang'an was in a mess, so Zhao Yun and the others were able to reach the vicinity of Chang'an, thousands of miles away, in five days.

On this day, Zhao Yun found a suitable place and ordered everyone to hide and take Dian Wei to Chang'an alone.

Although they have a contact point in Chang'an, but at this moment Chang'an is in the most chaotic moment, once their thousand-strong army appears, it is inevitable that they will not be startled, and it is the safest thing to hide outside the city.

Chang'an's liaison office is a restaurant, and the person in charge here is a wealthy middle-aged man named Zhang Yuan.

Appearance is just a disguise, and he is notoriously cold and cunning in the dark group.

It is precisely because of his excellence that Jia Xu entrusted this person with the most difficult idea of lurking in Chang'an.

In the secret room of the restaurant, Zhang Yuan, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei sat opposite each other.

At this time, Zhang Yuan put away his smiling appearance, and told Zhao Yun about the current situation in Chang'an at this moment.

The situation was even worse than everyone imagined, Li Dao and Guo Yan relied on their preemptive strike, and after killing Dong Zhuo, they quickly occupied and controlled the entire Chang'an, with more than 70,000 soldiers and horses under their command.

Dong Zhuo died, Li Ru and Niu Fu escaped from Chang'an under the desperate protection of the Flying Bear Army, but the Flying Bear Army lost more than half, and even the most elite of them, the Flying Bear Guard, was killed and injured by dozens of people.

Fortunately, Xu Rong's army rushed to the rescue, which saved Li Ru and others.

However, before they could organize troops to attack Chang'an, the 50,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Wuguan by Li Dao and Guo Yan also came to the left side of Chang'an under the leadership of Li Dao's nephew Li Li.

Li Wei asked Guo Yan to personally guard Chang'an, and he led 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city to join his nephew's 50,000 soldiers and horses, and launched a fierce battle south of Chang'an.

After occupying Chang'an, Sima Fang served as Situ, Li Wei served as Tai Lieutenant, and Guo Yan served as a general.

But when the positions of the three of them were not secured, they suddenly found that Emperor Han Xian, who should be in the deep palace, and his queen were nowhere to be found.

As a last resort, Sima Fang, Li, Guo and others had no choice but to conceal the matter, and on the one hand, they sent additional manpower to conduct a carpet search inside and outside Chang'an.

All the households in Chang'an were searched several times every day like a sieve, and they were miserable, but everyone didn't know what was going on, only that the officials and soldiers were looking for people.

Zhao Yun's face was very ugly, and he asked: "The official army is acting like this, could it be that he is looking for the Son of Heaven?" ”

Zhang Yuan nodded solemnly: "It should be so, my subordinates have been inquiring in many ways in recent days, but there has been no news of the Son of Heaven, and the palace is now even more defense-inadequate, and no news has ever been circulated." ”

After a pause, he then added: "And this incident should have happened as early as the day when Li and Guo killed Dong Zhuo. ”

Zhao Yun lightly struck each other with his fists, gritted his teeth and said: "This is terrible, our trip is to welcome the Son of Heaven, if the Son has been missing for so many days today, where will we go to find it?" ”
