The sky was bright, and in the corridor of the Yanzhou Thorn Mansion, there was a scribe in Tsing Yi walking quickly.

His delicate and elegant face couldn't hide a trace of heavy worry, and everywhere he passed, the guards and subordinates in the palace kept bowing down and calling: "Mr. Xun! On a normal day, he would have slowed down and returned a friendly smile. However, at this time, he walked all the way as if he had never heard of it, leaving behind him with stunned faces.

Just turned around a courtyard gate, and a person came briskly in front of him, and the two almost collided, and couldn't help but cry out at the same time.

"My lord! You've found you! A hint of joy flashed on Mr. Xun's face, and he grabbed the hand of the person opposite with some almost gaffe, and shouted: "Yu Zheng has a military plane to do something!" ”

"It turned out to be Wen Ruo!" The lord is seven feet long, with thin eyes and long hair, and a fierce face, it is Cao Cao and Cao Mengde, the assassins of Yanzhou. He grabbed Mr. Xun's arm and smiled, "Okay, good!" You and I coincide! Let's go with me to see a thing, and then it's not too late to talk about the military aircraft! ”

That Xun Wenruo is Cao Cao's first strategist Xun Yu, he is known for his calm and meticulous on weekdays, but today I don't know why it is abnormal, under Cao Cao's drag, he kept saying: "Alas, my lord....... at the moment of major events, what do you want to call Yu to see...... Okay, don't drag ....... lord, it's better to be Rong Yu and tell me how to ....... my mother, what is this! ”

His babbling came to an abrupt halt, because as Cao Cao pushed open the door of a house with his own hands, something he had never seen before appeared in front of him.

On top of the huge hall, a square wooden platform with a length and width of more than one foot is almost occupied. And on the wooden platform, there is a geographical map of mountains and rivers with chiseled stones as peaks, pinched soil as cities, and mercury as rivers.

"Oh my God!" Xun Yu walked to the front of the stage in disbelief, gently touched the mountain peak city, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that his art was ingenious, and the shape was extremely realistic, and he couldn't help but say stupidly: "The lord can make such a strange thing in the world unconsciously in our mind!" It's impressive! ”

"Hey, hey!" Cao Cao let out a burst of smug laughter: "Ben will send hundreds of painters and scouts to various places to draw maps by hand first, and then summarize and compare, which has lasted a year; Then, Liu Ye led 50 master craftsmen to select materials and start work secretly, which took another year. But it has been hidden from all of you! ”

"However, when my subordinates look at this map, it doesn't seem to be complete!" Xun Yu leaned over to take a closer look, and soon found a flaw: "This map does not cover the entire picture of the thirteen states of my Han Dynasty, and there are still several states that are not among them!" ”

"Wen Ruo's eyes are like torches!" Cao Cao was slightly embarrassed and said: "Because Liangzhou, Yizhou and Jiaozhou are too remote, the terrain is extremely complex, and there are not too many old maps for reference, so they have not been included yet....... but the people sent by Ben will have gone deep into their places, and I believe that there will be gains in a few years!" ”

"Even so, it can be regarded as a great innovation of this dynasty!" Xun Yu finally returned to his composure, and his mouth was full of admiration: "Taking this as a test, our army will definitely take the lead in the future war, okay!" All right! ”

He suddenly saw that Cao Cao's face was not very happy, but even more embarrassed, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Lord, do you have anything else to say?" ”

"Haha! What ....... this" Cao Cao twisted slightly, and then said calmly: "Ming people don't do dark things, this kind of physical map is not created by this general, but copied from General Yingyang Zhonglang....... when he presided over the battle against Dong that day, this general was fortunate to be present in a secret military meeting of the Bohai Navy, and then he saw this kind of good thing called sand table!" ”

"It's Eagle Yang Zhonglang again! Saying that he had used this method in warfare years or even longer, it was no wonder that he was invincible! Xun Yu couldn't help but be shocked, and then paused and said: "Lord, Yu Shicai said that there is a military aircraft major event, and it has a great relationship with Yingyang Zhonglang!" ”

"Oh?" Cao Cao stretched out his hand to support the side of the sand table, his eyes wandered, and he said casually: "Why don't you say it?" ”

"My lord, Yu thought that ....... Bohai Navy seemed to be sending charcoal in the snow, but in fact, the motive was not pure!" Xun Yu's exit was straight to the point, and he pointed to the plate: "According to the strategy originally agreed between the Bohai Navy and our army, after its 45,000 army enters Yanzhou, it will launch a surprise attack on Yuan Shu's army from behind our army, defeat its main force in one fell swoop, and then divide into two ways with our army, pointing directly at Huainan, where Yuan Shu is entrenched!" ”

"But now!" He was a little worried: "The operation of the Bohai Navy has been completed beyond our imagination. They suddenly divided their troops in Yanzhou, Gao Shun led 30,000 troops to attack Yuan Shu, and Yingyang Zhonglang himself personally led 15,000 elite soldiers to Yuzhou, and there was news that its vanguard had captured several cities of Zhangji at the junction of Jingyu and Henan! ”

"I've just learned about this, is there anything else?" Cao Cao didn't raise his head.

"Yes......." Xun Yu was slightly stunned, and immediately said: "Last night, there was a report from northern Hebei, Li Jin, the commander of the Bohai Navy, personally led 5,000 cavalry, directly took Yuan Shaotun's grain heavy land Lunu, and after robbing more than half of the grain and grass, he calmly returned to the territorial Hejian....... Yuan Shao's attack on Gongsun Zhan's Yi Jing had already gained the upper hand, but after this battle, he was no longer able to launch an offensive due to poor logistics, and the two armies became a confrontation again! ”

"Lunu?" Cao Cao's body trembled, and he finally turned around and exclaimed: "There is an important transit base for Yuan Shao's attack on Gongsun Zhan, and almost all of Yuan Shaojun's soldiers, horses, money and grain are transported to the direction of Yijing from here!" I heard that there has been a group of more than 20,000 elite soldiers stationed there for a long time, and there are high walls and deep pools as a basis, although Li Jin is brave and the Bohai Navy is strong, how can he overcome it with a cavalry that runs long distances? ”

"It's all about one person!" Xun Yu's eyes flashed, and he sighed deeply: "Lu Nu's guard is Chun Yuqiong, he first transferred most of the soldiers and horses in the city under the pretext, and then opened the city to meet Li Jin....... Li Jin's five thousand soldiers and horses did not fire a single arrow, so he took Lu Nu lightly!" ”

"It turned out to be Zhong Jian!" Cao Cao said: "He is really a chess piece that Han Yang laid down beside Yuan Shao....... I have always wondered, Zhong Jian has always been a close minister of the first emperor, and he has a life-and-death friendship with Han Yang, how could he vote for Yuan Shao?" No wonder, no wonder! ”

"It's so hidden!" He suddenly said: "The Bohai Navy's espionage ability is the best in the world, and even arranging undercover agents is rare in the world!" It's really a surprise! ”

Xun Yu's heart jumped, and he knew that Cao Cao must have remembered the matter of Xi Zhicai again, so he had to change the topic and said: "Not only that, but there was still a report last night: in the direction of Qingzhou, a Bohai Navy is moving towards several military points in Xuzhou in a roundabout way, and has defeated the Xuzhou army that has gone to block it in many ways. Tao Qian has become a frightened bird, and in a panic, he hurriedly transferred troops and horses from all over Xuzhou to defend, and even the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses who invaded my Yanzhou also retreated to the border! ”

"The Bohai Navy is in full attack!" Cao Cao exclaimed: "Who is leading this army of soldiers and horses? ”

"It's Zang Ba, the leader of the original Taishan group of thieves, but we don't know the details about this person!" Xun Yu frowned and said, "I heard that he just joined the Bohai Navy not long ago!" ”

"Just attached? Fool it! Cao Cao smiled coldly: "If it is really a bandit rogue who has just been attached, can it have such a great ability to defeat the Xuzhou army of many routes?" Can Nan Hanyang rest assured that he can lead an army by himself and stand alone? This must be another dark move laid out by Han Yang many years ago! ”

"Eagle Yang Zhonglang will ......." Xun Yu also stayed on the spot, and said quietly for a while: "In this way, he helped me Yanzhou this time, and it was really because of the situation and the trend!" ”

"Hey, hey! We're fools this time! Cao Cao suddenly laughed: "People used us to play a big game of chess, and we have to be grateful to them." The most ridiculous thing is that to this day, we still don't know anything about the ultimate military purpose of the Bohai Navy......."

"It doesn't feel good to be played like a monkey!" He slapped the wooden platform suddenly, and looked directly at Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, you are now the first wise man in our army!" Since you came to look for me in a hurry this time, have you found any clues? Don't disappoint me .......! ”

"Don't worry, lord!" Xun Yu was moved in his heart, and said confidently: "Yu was originally at a loss, but after searching all the old war files of the Bohai Navy in recent years, and then thinking hard about the night, I finally have some clues!" ”

"Since the Battle of Dong, the Bohai Navy has hardly launched a major war, and the largest one is to attack Qingzhou and Xuzhou, but only 20,000 people have been dispatched! However, we all know that in the territory of the Bohai Navy, there is at least a standing army of 50,000 people....... and at this time, we know that the Bohai Navy is far more than 50,000 people, because they only have a total military strength of 60,000 after the division of troops into four routes, not to mention the soldiers and horses they left behind in their territories! Xun Yushang fully showed his talent in front of Cao Cao for the first time, and quickly entered the state, talking all the way: "Judging from the consistent strong combat power of the Bohai Navy, if they concentrate all their soldiers and horses to attack only one place, whether it is Yuan Shao or Gongsun Zhan, they will all be defeated, and even if the two of them join forces, it will be a tie at most!" So, what is the reason why Ling Ying Yang Zhonglang deliberately showed weakness to the enemy, a famous general who has always been strong, and has been holding back? ”

He saw that Cao Cao couldn't take his eyes off what he heard, and his mouth was even more gushing: "Can we make a bold guess....... although the Bohai Navy is unique in the world in terms of military strength, it has been harboring greater schemes, so that they do not dare to show their edge in such a chaotic situation of division of princes, and they have become the target of public criticism." It is necessary to wait for a good opportunity for the princes to fight and have no time to take care of anything else, and then they will come out of the nest to accomplish their ultimate goal! ”

"If Nan Hanyang can give up the good strategy of steady development, and do this risky move, their plan will inevitably shake the world!" Cao Cao was shocked and said, "What is it? Keep talking! ”

"It's easy!" Xun Yu said word by word: "Connect things and cross the world!" ”

"What?" Cao Cao lost his voice and said: "Isn't this a stretch of defense and self-chaos?" I don't believe that with the power of the Southern Han Yang, he will follow this path of self-destruction! What basis do you have? ”

"Lord, let's take a look at the route after the Bohai Navy sends troops!" Xun Yu's finger pointed all the way down the sand table: "Since the two of us signed an offensive and defensive alliance, the Bohai Navy has entered through the Qinghe River and has established a stronghold in the northeast of Yanzhou. Because this small area is located at the confluence of Yanzhou, Hebei and Qingdao, in fact, Yanzhou in Dongwuyang and Yangping, north of the Yellow River, has fallen into the actual control of the Bohai Navy, so far, the Bohai Navy can use a powerful naval army to patrol the upper reaches of the Yellow River to the middle reaches, and even reach Luoyang ........"

"So what?" Cao Cao was a little disappreciative and said: "Luoyang is still in ruins!" Because of the war, except for some areas of Sanfu, the entire division is about to become a frontier with thousands of miles of uninhabited, so what is the use of his Nanying even if he controls it.......

"That's not right!" When he said this, he was suddenly startled, and habitually narrowed his slender eyes: "Could it be that Nanying wants to raid Chang'an and regain the Son of Heaven after attacking Li Guo?" ”

"If Nanying wants to recapture the Son of Heaven, he will bring the Son of Heaven back to Bohai after attacking and killing Dong Zhuo that day, who would dare to stop him? As for Fei, is it such a big deal? Xun Yu cried and laughed and said: "According to the analysis of various signs, Nanying has other plans!" ”

"Does the lord still remember the strategy of Nanying to attack and kill Dong Zhuo that day?" Xun Yu pointed to a point west of "Chang'an" on the sand table: "Originally, with the strength of the Bohai Navy, it was impossible to capture Chang'an. However, on the eve of the Southern Eagle's large-scale launch, a force of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared in Yiwu, attracting Chang'an to divide troops to help, and finally under Lu Bu's rebellion, Chang'an City was easily conquered! ”

"You want to say?" Cao Cao's heart jumped: "This army of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses is also the Bohai Navy?" This is impossible, at most it is just a temporary borrowed soldier and horse from Nanying! ”

"But they finally raised the Eagle Banner!" Xun Yu's words almost made Cao Cao jump in shock.

Cao ** stared at Xun Yu: "The outside world knows that the soldiers and horses quickly disappeared after annihilating the vanguard of Li Dao's army, and Li Dao has been hiding this matter, and he has never revealed the origin of that soldier and horse!" But how do you know that? ”

"Don't hide it from the lord, right now there is a clansman in my Xun family who works in Chang'an!" Xun Yu said calmly: "He is the master of Li Dao, and by chance I heard Li Dao confide after he was drunk!" ”

"I see!" Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, but looked at Xun Yu with a smile: "Speaking of which, your Xun family's children are really all over the world, I heard that your clan brother Xun Chen is working as a strategist under Yuan Shao's tent, and your clan nephew Xun Yu ........"

He paused, and then said, "It seems to be on Nanying's side, right?" ”

"My lord is right!" Xun Yu thought of Xi Zhicai again, and couldn't help but feel apprehensive in his heart, and said with a forced smile: "The world is chaotic, each seeking a way out, this is the admonition of the elders in the family!" ”

"Good one to find a way out!" Cao Cao thought for a while before sighing: "The Xun family is indeed good!" I think that at the beginning, Mr. Xun Shuang also had a year-old friendship with Ben Jiang, which benefited Ben a lot....... but it was a pity that Shuang Gong had already driven to the west! ”

Xun Yushang heard Cao Cao mention Xun Shuang in front of him for the first time, and immediately remembered the secret news of the sexagenary branch that was rumored for a while, and couldn't help but bang in his heart, and his mouth was even more dry....... Xun family regarded himself as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, if the evidence that Xun Shuang had participated in the sexagenary branch was confirmed from Cao Cao's mouth, then it would be a devastating blow to the reputation of the Xun family.

"It's all in the past, it's unbearable!" Fortunately, Cao Cao had no intention of reminiscing about the past, he waved his hand and said, "Back to the topic!" Wen Ruo, according to what you said, the soldiers and horses that transferred the main force of Chang'an's Dong Army were actually subordinates of the Bohai Navy, so how did they hide their eyes and ears and drive thousands of miles? ”

"You don't have to hide people's eyes and ears, and you don't have to drive thousands of miles!" Xun Yu calmed down and said slowly: "Because, they have been stationed near Chang'an for a long time!" ”

"Impossible!" Cao Cao's eyes finally became flustered, and he glanced back and forth on the sand table: "Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses!" Where are they stationed? ”

"Lord, don't look any further!" Xun Yu smiled bitterly: "It can only be Hanzhong!" If it weren't for this, how could the first emperor meet Nanhan Yang in Yiyang? If it weren't for this, how could a little-known Hanzhong Taishou resist Liu Yan for several years? Looking back at the war in Hanzhong for more than ten years, the battle to pacify the Heavenly Master Dao in the first month of the day is full of doubts! ”

"Got it!" Cao Cao's face turned pale: "Hanzhong is the origin of Southern Han Yang....... he took so much trouble this time to connect the two territories in the east and west!" In this way, there are at least more than 100,000 elites under Nanhan Yang! ”

"Trouble!" He was dripping in a cold sweat, and couldn't help pacing in the room repeatedly: "With the strength in front of us, how can we fight against it?" Do you really want to take refuge in .......?"

"Lord, you're too worried!" Xun Yu finally couldn't help but speak: "Although the subordinates of Southern Han Yang are numerous, there are more enemies, whether it is Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zhan, or Ma Teng, Han Sui, Tao Qian, Liu Yan, Liu Biao and others, they have all regarded the Bohai Navy as the number one enemy, which is also the fundamental reason why the Bohai Navy has been holding back!" No matter how strong he is, at least in front of him, he is definitely not the enemy of all families! ”

"What's more!" He smiled calmly: "What the lord is worried about at this moment should not be how to fight against the Bohai Navy, but to take advantage of the strong rise of the Bohai Navy, and take advantage of the fact that the two of us are allies, and do that rising tide!" ”

"Huh?" Cao Cao's eyes were slightly confused, obviously not grasping the key to the matter for a while.

"It's simple!" Xun Yu said lightly: "The Bohai Navy has used our hands to disturb a pool of water, why can't we take advantage of the chaos?" At this time, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were attacking each other, and the eyes of Li Dao, Guo Yan, Han Sui, Ma Teng, Liu Yan and others were all focused on Nanying. And our great enemy Yuan Shu has become a rout, as long as Yuan Shu is quickly defeated, then Liu Bei of Yuzhou, Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Tao Qian of Xuzhou, who are closer to us, can become the stepping stone of the lord's next step! ”

"Time is running out! The only way to do this is to go all out to attack the surrounding areas and quickly expand your strength! Xun Yu's eyes were blazing, and his words revealed strong confidence: "Forgive Yu for offending, if you don't want to forge ahead and still hold the conservative way, you will end up hating!" ”

"Yu Bucai!" He took a long time to the ground: "I am willing to follow the lord to overcome thorns and thorns, make meritorious contributions, and return my great man to Lang Lang, and from now on we will be famous in history!" ”

"Well said!" Cao Cao stepped forward suddenly, holding Xun Yu's hand, and his eyes were slightly moist: "If it weren't for Wen Ruo's stripping of the cocoon, I would still be in a dream!" You are truly my son! ”

"Lord!" Xun Yu's heart was also excited. As a strategist, what regret is it that he can be evaluated by the lord like this?

"Hey, hey! Today's harvest is really exciting! Wen Ruo's words are certainly like a dusk drum and morning bell, and Nan Hanyang is also a mentor and friend! Suddenly, Cao Cao seemed to be reborn, his mind was extraordinarily clear, he lay on the side of the sand table, and in an instant, his thoughts flowed: "A long-distance attack, coupled with the combination of the inside and the outside, cut off Yuan's original grain channel, and just stifled the progress of the attack on Gongsun Zhan, so that the two families could not move, this hand must be good to learn....... and this trick to divide the east and west, it is also very powerful, and it can control the general trend of the world of thousands of miles of territory at the same time, in other words, I can also arrange Hanzhong Taishou to pretend to join the hostile forces and grasp the intelligence....... Speaking of intelligence, the clansman of your Xun family beside Li Dao is very important....... right! ”

He suddenly raised his head and winked at Xun Yu: "You say, can Xun Yu beside Nan Hanyang be used by us?" ”

Xun Yu was speechless by the astonishing changes in Cao Cao's body, and was stunned when he heard this: "Xun Yu? His subordinates have also sent letters to him several times, but there has been no reply, perhaps, he is under the close surveillance of Nanying! Therefore, please forgive your subordinates for not being able to answer this question at this time! ”

"Is that so?" Cao Cao said with some regret: "Then if you have Lao Wenruo continue to pay attention, I will report to me as soon as there is news!" ”

"Oh! After a while, I still have to introduce Wen Ruo to an excellent member of our Cao clan! He looked at the stunned Xun Yu, and smiled proudly: "This person is still unknown to the outside world, but he has been secretly training for this general for a long time, in order to train a powerful cavalry army that is not inferior to the Bohai Cavalry!" Now, since our army is determined to expand strongly, we can no longer hide them, Wen Ruo, let's see, which city should we take first......."

He couldn't hide his complacency, and he said that he would go all the way, and he couldn't wait to show his strength immediately, but he didn't notice that Xun Yu was already in a hurry for a while: Gongda, Gongda, where are you at this moment?

"Gongda! Gongda? What are you in a daze! Thousands of miles away, among the mountains, a group of light horsemen was slowly passing along the hidden paths in the mountains, and a young general with black hair and shoulders could not hide his excitement, and he kept talking to a scribe who was dizzying at him: "Do you know what this place is? Stunned, right? Ha ha! It's been so many years, and I'm finally going home again! ”

"Look! It's home! Suddenly, the young general shouted, and his finger loomed in front of him to reveal the tall city among the green hills and green trees. The cavalry behind him also cheered together, and one of the cavalrymen shook his arm, and with a "flutter", a majestic eagle flapped its wings and flew towards the mountain city in the distance.

The young general suddenly calmed down, looked back at the stunned scribe and smiled, "Remember the two-year covenant between you and me?" Two years, in a flash! And what is about to be presented in front of your eyes is the last secret of Ben....... wait for you to watch, go and listen! ”
