After making up his mind, Yuan Yao immediately sent a letter to Liu Bi and Gong Du, stating that he would lead his troops to join them in the land of Runan within a few days, so that Liu Pi and Gong Du would be ready to meet them.

After receiving Yuan Yao's reply, Liu Bi was overjoyed and immediately sent the Yellow Turban pawn and Pegasus to Pengcheng to inform the pottery merchant of Yuan Yao's movements.

……

Pengcheng, Council Chamber.

"Great!" The potter slapped the table case heavily, and said happily: "The son of Yuan Shu really can't stand it in Huainan, he went to Runan County and Liu Bi and Gong Du this time, he must want to use their soldiers and horses and channels to enter the land of three rivers into Hebei and defect to Yuan Shao, so that it will be a big deal." ”

Zhuge Liang swayed the feather fan below, and said: "But Yuan Yao and the others never imagined that Liu Pi and Gong Du had already taken refuge in the teacher, and this time he is probably not going to Hebei, but Xuzhou!" ”

Sima Yi also played with the pu kui fan in his hand, and said with emotion: "I heard that Yuan Shu has a very beautiful concubine, called Feng's, and she is a great beauty who is not born in the world...... I really want to see it. ”

When the potter heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

At a young age, you actually started to take a good bite of this?

What a stinky problem! It's really a lack of pick-up.

Tao, Zhuge and Sima were all excited, and the three of them were beaming, but only Guo Jia was unusual, frowning and pondering something.

Seeing Guo Jia's gloomy look, the potter knew that he must have something in his heart.

He instructed Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi: "Liangliang, Xiaoyi, I have given an order to appoint the two of you as the county commanders of our county and Chaoqiu County respectively, and the two of you will go to these two places to take office from now on, these two counties are our counties in Xuzhou on the western border, after the two of you arrive, you will be fully responsible for the military affairs in the county, and you must always pay attention to the contact with Liu Pi and others, and be ready to meet them at any time, you must cooperate with them to lead Yuan Yao and others into Xuzhou, and in the follow-up, Tao will send a large army to support you." ”

The two of them got up separately and arched their hands together: "No! ”

After the two boys left the main hall, Guo Jia looked up at the potter, and said suspiciously: "These two children are not bad in qualifications, and they have strategies, if they stay by their side and train carefully, they will definitely have a big future after a long time, why do you want to release them suddenly?" ”

A smile appeared on the potter's face: "The reason is very simple, one is to deal with the matter of deceiving Yuan Yao and others into Xuzhou this time, and it is necessary to make proper arrangements at the western border to avoid mistakes; The second is that these two children are good seedlings, and it will definitely be beneficial for them to go out to practice, but they just blindly stay by my side to listen to the training, and I am afraid that they will not be able to take charge of themselves in the future, which will be a bit of a waste. ”

Guo Jia suddenly realized when he heard this.

"It turns out that following you is a ruined life? That Guo has been ruined by you for four or five years, Taifu! When will you let me go out for a while? ”

The potter looked at him with a smile and said, "Brother God, who is the dragon and phoenix among people, can be described as a horn that comes out of the mud and is not stained...... You'd better continue to be ruined by me. ”

Guo Jia lowered his head in disappointment.

"Brother Fengxiao, I talked to Liang Liang and Xiaoyi about Yuan Yao and the others going north, but you bowed your head there and pondered and didn't answer a word, this is really not your character...... I wonder what you think? Or do you think of something big? ”

Guo Jia's face turned from sunny to ***: "Actually, there is nothing wrong, but Guo always feels that something is wrong." ”

Hearing this, the potter raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong?" Huainan over there? ”

Guo Jia pondered carefully for a while, and then said, "It's not Huainan!" It's the Central Plains...... Shouchun came out of such a big thing, Cao Cao, who was in Yuzhou, didn't make any big moves, except for sending Cao Ren to occupy Lu'an, in order to seek a strategic advantage in the south, there was no other move! This is not like Cao Cao's style, even if Cao Cao can't think of it...... Xun Yu, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, and Xi Zhong, those bastards will also resolutely admonish! Guo always felt that something was wrong with this. ”

The potter touched his chin, thought carefully for a while, and said: "You may be too worried, this matter is not impossible, didn't the school of the school affairs come to report some time ago, Cao Cao has been using his way to recruit Dong Zhuo's old generals since he recruited Zhang Ji?" At present, it is estimated that there is no time to look south about Cao's preparations. ”

In the battle for the holy car in Guanzhong, Ma Teng and Han Sui were beaten into dogs by Cao Cao, and they also lost Pang De and Yan Xing, retreated to Jincheng, and other princes in Liangzhou were side by side, and now the small princes of Guanxi were subdued by Zhong Xuan of Luoyang with political skills, and they were very well-behaved, and among Dong Zhuo's old generals, Niu Fu was dead, and Lu Bu, who was in charge of the Bingzhou army, joined forces with Sun Ce to conquer the land of Huainan.

Among the rest of the old generals of the Western Liang Army, Zhang Ji led a part of the Western Liang soldiers to submit to Cao Cao, while the remaining Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou and others are still leading the former Western Liang soldiers and a small number of Luoyang Northern and Southern Army Central Plains wandering.

Some time ago, the school government sent back a message that Cao Cao was planning to use Zhang Ji's relationship to recruit those Liangzhou generals.

Now Li Dao and Guo Yan and others are different from the situation in history, although they have been fighting Dong Zhuo for many years, they have not killed Wang Yun and imprisoned the Son of Heaven, but they only belong to Dong Zhuo's accomplices, so to a certain extent, they belong to the category that can be accepted by the Kwantung princes.

And the person who felt the most hungry and thirsty for the soldiers in their hands, and the person who was also the most convenient geographically, was Cao Cao, who occupied the Central Plains.

According to the potter's understanding, Cao Cao is doing this right now.

"That's not right!" Guo Jia shook his head and said: "There is a problem with this matter, Cao Cao, Guo secretly sent someone to observe him for a long time, this person is not under Yuan Shao in terms of mind, ability, and courage. The soldiers of the Xiliang generals under Dong Zhuo's command will be strong, but after all, they are already like a lost dog, and they are still in charge, if they can really be recruited by Zhang Ji, there is no need for Cao Cao to spend so much energy to personally watch this matter...... According to Guo's judgment, for Cao Cao, the descendants of the Yuan clan in Huainan are more important than Dong Zhuo's relics...... Therefore, Guo suspects that this matter is not as simple as it seems, and behind Cao Cao, there may be a master to guide him. ”

The pottery merchant was silent for a while when he heard this, and then said slowly: "Brother Feng Xiao's meaning, is it suspected that Cao Cao is also eyeing Yuan Yao and others?" Now there is no action, but it is just hiding people's eyes? ”

Guo Jia said with certainty: "If there is a movement of troops in Yuzhou, maybe Guo will not mind so much, but for the land of Huainan, Cao Cao's side is inevitably too calm, which is worrying...... Guo had a hunch that Cao Cao would make a big move this time, so this time, it had to be Taifu himself. ”

……

Yuzhou, Xuchang.

Last month, Cao Cao changed the name of Xuxian County, where he now lives, to Xuchang, and the power of the command of the troops and horses of the various ministries will be tilted from Yanzhou to Xuchang from this year.

"How's the situation on Zhang Ji's side?" Cao Cao was alone with Xun Yu at this time, and the two were plotting an unsightly plan.

Xun Yu said to Cao Cao: "Zhang Ji sent someone to send back the news, Fan Chou has promised to return to Shun, and is now returning to Xuchang with him, as for Li Ji and Guo Yan, they are also interested in Zhang Ji's persuasion - Yu Yi, you might as well send Man Chong to bring gold leaf gifts, move it to benefit, know it with reason, and let them be obedient." ”

"Xiliang soldiers...... Flying Heroes...... The rest of the north and south. ”

Cao Cao's eyes showed brilliance that was difficult to describe in words, and said: "Li Dao and Guo Yan and others are insignificant, but the remnants of the soldiers and horses left behind by Dong Zhuo are all the elite of the elite in Luoyang City back then, even if they are down, but their combat power is also extremely strong, if they can be recruited to join, it is far better than recruiting new troops in the Central Plains!" If this matter is successful, Cao will have the capital to compete with Yuan Shao, and this matter must not be neglected...... Let the full pet go! Hurry up! ”

"No." Xun Yu responded: "Yu will arrange it immediately." ”

"Yan Xing is in Runan, is there any news coming back?" Cao Cao suddenly asked Xun Yu again: "Liu Bi and Gong Du are rebellious, but they have already provoked Yuan Yao and others to come over?" ”

Xun Yu said with a smile: "There is already news that Yuan Yao abandoned Shouchun and went to the boundary of Runan, Yan Xing only waited for the order of the Air Force, and then he would intercept and kill the people of Huainan according to the plan, and then Liu Xunli should join forces." ”

Cao Cao pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Don't worry, this time, I have one more thing, I want Yan Xing to understand for me, but I don't know if he can do it." ”

Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao suspiciously.

Everything seems to have been arranged, what other special things do you have to explain to Yan Xing?

Facing Xun Yu's puzzled gaze, Cao Cao couldn't help but blush, coughed lightly twice, and said, "Wen Ruo, you go back first, and we'll discuss it when we have something to do." ”

Xun Yu knew that Cao Cao had confidential things to do by himself, so he didn't let himself see it, so he quit Cao Cao's study with interest.

After Xun Yu withdrew from releasing the arrows, Cao Cao stood up, impatiently came to a wooden box, and opened the wooden box.

In that wooden box, there are scrolls of slips, led by a scroll with the four big characters of "Dow" written on it.

Cao Cao stroked the scroll with emotion, and said with emotion: "Good book, good book...... It's a pity that it was written by a little mongrel. ”

After sighing, Cao Cao took out the volume of "Qunfang Spectrum" written by the potter himself from the box, which recorded the gorgeous and charming women of this era.

Cao Cao flipped through the Qunfang spectrum, looked at each name, and finally set his eyes on the name of Zhang Ji's wife 'Zou'.

After a long silence, Cao Cao returned to the shore of the table, opened a scroll of slips, and began to write a secret letter to Yan Xing.

The content of the letter is not an outsider, but the letterhead to Yan Xing, the first few big words are impressive.

"Ren Zhang Ji is the lieutenant general of the auxiliary army, appointed as the deputy vanguard, and obeys the orders of Yan Xing's account......"
