It is said that since Zhou Yu led the troops to Yingchuan three days later, Lu Bubing went out of Puyang and pointed directly at Chen Liu. If the strength of the wheel, Cao Cao is higher than Lu Bu's, but Zhou Yu's 3,000 men and horses are clamped in the south, Cao Cao did not dare to come out, but sent the general Xiahou Dun, with the Huangmen squire Xun You as the military division, leading 8,000 troops to confront Lu Bu and Puyang City 70 miles south. In addition, more than 10,000 people were left to guard in several counties around Chenliu to prevent Zhou Yu.

According to Cao Cao's thoughts, this little-known Zhou Yu didn't want to care about him at all. I think that with Guan Yan's talent, he led 5,000 soldiers, but he was still defeated by the Yellow Turban thieves in Tongqian Valley, and almost died on the spot.

This Zhou Yu was weak and weak, and Guan Yan actually put the lives of 3,000 people in his hands, which really made Cao Cao ridicule Guan Yan, and immediately decided that only a few hundred people would be stationed in their own cities and counties, and the rest of the people would enter Puyang to crusade against Lu Bu.

At this time, Xun Yu admonished: "Guan Yanying is talented, courageous and talented, far-sighted, and has extraordinary wisdom; The intention of sending troops is to seek a good opportunity to harass Chen Liu, and the general who leads the army must be the person who manages the hundred quantities, and the public should not be underestimated! ”

Cao Cao accepted Xun Yu's words, and ordered him to quote Li Dian and Yu Ban, two generals, 5,000 soldiers, and stick to Chen Liu; And Cao Cao led 10,000 troops and stationed them between the north and the south to echo.

Xun Yu was filial piety at the beginning, but later saw that the government was dark, so he abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown to hide in Yingchuan.

When Cao Cao came out of Luoyang, his friend Xun You, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, worked with him. Xun You is also a member of the Yingchuan Xun clan, although he is six years older than Xun Yu, but he is Xun Yu's nephew, Xun Yu knows his great talent, so when Cao Cao raised troops in Chenliu, he strongly recommended Xun Yu.

Cao Cao and Xun Yu talked a few words in detail, and they were shocked and sighed: "This is my son's room!" At that moment, Xun Yu was appointed as Sima of the other department.

Xun Yu sat in Chenliu, six days a day to explore horses, always paying attention to Zhou Yu's movements, Zhou Yu repeatedly tried strategies, but Xun Yu saw through, although occasionally attacked small townships and small counties, but it was really insignificant for Xun Yu. For a while, the two forces were inseparable, and Guan Yan's original goal had been achieved.

Looking at Xiaopei City in Xuzhou, Ma Teng, the newly pardoned "Xuzhou Thorn History", is dealing with official business. Xuzhou has jurisdiction over four counties and three kingdoms, Ma Teng is able to control three of the counties, strong soldiers, recruiting talents, Taishan County Cheng Zhuge and Guan Yan have a relationship with the sea building, and because of his friends Mi Zhu, Chen Qi and so on are good friends with Guan Yan, so his son Zhuge Jin Zhishi and Ma Teng under the account. Zhuge Jin is fifteen years old, but his body is pure, his virtue is especially pure, and he has the style of an elder. Ma Teng liked it very much, and made him the history of the house, one to assist Ma Teng in handling government affairs, and the other to let the anxious Ma Chao learn more from Zhuge Jin.

There is also Xu Sheng, a native of Langya Ju County, who wants to move to Wu County because of the war, and is robbed by thieves on the road, Xu Sheng holds a steel knife in his hand, and rushes into the thieves on a horse, slashing and killing dozens of people, and the rest are afraid of his bravery, and scatter as birds and beasts. This scene was seen by Ma Chao, who went out hunting, although Ma Chao was young, but he had the intention of recommending talents, and immediately said: "The strong man is very skilled, I don't know if you have the heart to join the army with me?" Xu Sheng looked at Ma Chao's appearance, thinking that it was the second ancestor, and said with a smile: "Like a child, you can hunt beasts and catch birds, I have great ambitions, how can I play with children?" ”

Ma Chao was furious, patted the horse and grabbed the battle, Xu Sheng didn't dare to slack off, and raised his knife to fight, but Sanhe, he was shot off the horse by Ma Chao. Xu Sheng was furious: "Come again!" After that, he turned over and got on the horse, clamped his feet, and rushed straight towards Ma Chao, this time Xu Sheng fought with all his might, but it was only more than ten rounds, and he was controlled by Ma Chao.

Xu Sheng looked at the dragon spear lying across his neck, unwillingly threw down the steel knife in his hand, turned his head and stopped talking.

Following Guan Yan a lot, Ma Chao also has a lot of experience in Guan Yan's style of treating people, he turned over and dismounted at the moment, threw the dragon gun in his hand to the pawn on the side, picked up the steel knife on the ground with a smile on his face, and held it up with both hands: "The strong man is offended!" ”

Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, not to mention that he is indeed inferior to others, at that moment Xu Sheng took back the steel knife, pestle it on the ground, and pressed it with both hands, waiting for Ma Chao to follow.

"In Xia Nai Hu Ben Lang, Ma Chao has offended a lot!" Ma Chao confessed first.

Speaking of which, not to mention that others are indeed still a rank of six hundred stones, hey, he has this fame at this age, and he has lived up to this martial art.

"It turned out to be Lord Ma, who was convinced by the heart of the next loss!" Xu Sheng arched his hand back.

Ma Chao recounted the idea of his supervisor Yan Qiuxian, and invited Xu Sheng to serve in Xuzhou, Xu Sheng heard it, and was overjoyed at the moment, Guan Yan was a hussar general above 10,000 people under one person in the court, and he could have the opportunity to show his strength, how could he not make Xu Sheng tempted?

Xu Sheng immediately agreed to Ma Chao's invitation and went to Xiaopei together.

After Ma Chao's introduction, Ma Teng was also a discerning person, and immediately allowed him to serve as a lieutenant.

A few days later, Sun Qian, a native of Beihai, was recommended by his teacher Zheng Xuan to join Ma Teng, Zheng Xuan was the third monarch in the world, and Guan Yan was associated with Guan Yan because of the Luoyang feast, which is known to the world. The person recommended by Zheng Xuan, Ma Teng did not dare to slack off, Xu Wei did not drive, assisted Ma Teng, and led the government affairs of Xuzhou.

With the addition of Zhuge Jin, Xu Sheng and Zhuge Jin, Ma Teng is even more handy in handling affairs. Xuzhou's roots are getting deeper and deeper.

Look at Liu Bei's side, Tao Qian is critically ill and has passed away not long ago, and he has taken the post of Xuzhou pastor, but he suffers from a weak force, half of Xuzhou is controlled by Guan Yan, but he can't do anything, as the saying goes: the side of the couch does not allow others to sleep soundly. Now that he has managed to get through, he will never allow Ma Teng to destroy it.

Liu Bei used his name of "after the king of Zhongshan Jing" to obtain the support of the clan relatives of the Chu State, the Surabaya State and the Guangling State, and the soldiers and horses of the headquarters were all tunzha and Xiapi, and there are still Langya County, Donghai County, and Linhuai County are still in the hands of Ma Teng. And with Liu Bei's strength, he doesn't dare to blatantly open the knife against these two people, which makes Liu Bei feel so irritable.

Fortunately, Liu Bei also has several talents, one surname Chen, the name Jiao, the word Ji Bi, in the early years to avoid trouble in Jiangdong, Tao Qian recommended Liu Bei on his deathbed, saying that he "is better than others", after Tao Qian's death, Liu Bei ordered to visit in person, and also allowed to take Xuzhou as a driver. There is another person, named Jian Yong, when he was young, it was convenient for Liu Bei to get acquainted, and he heard that Liu Bei was sitting in Xuzhou Mu, and he came to meet each other, Liu Bei cried and greeted him, and Xu Yizhi was in the middle.

Ma Teng and Liu Bei seem to have started an arms race, but there has never been a conflict, each governing its own place, implementing a variety of policies that benefit the people to attract the people to vote, businessmen to Jia, for a time, not only the land of Xuzhou, even the Qing, Yan, Henan, Yang four states of the displaced people have also heard to vote, this divided into two Xuzhou has not appeared for decades has not appeared "governing the world" scene, so not strange!
