Zhiyu, the young master of the Zhi family, with an army of more than 40,000 people, concentrated in Qinzhou, which is the gateway north of the Yellow River. It's not that Zhiyu doesn't want to hold the territory south of the Yellow River, but it is really time-consuming and laborious to cross the Yellow River to support.

Instead of deploying the army south of the Yellow River, the border has Lu Zhan in the south and the Zhao family in the east, which is a place of four wars, unless there are heavy guards, the army will be consumed little by little south of the Yellow River.

It is better to take the initiative to withdraw from these lands and let Lu Zhan and the Zhao family fight for these areas.

Zhiyu's strategy can be called a clear strategy, and he directly threw a piece of meat in front of the two hungry wolves, and how this is distributed depends on who will move faster between Lu Zhan and Zhao He.

"My lord, this Zhi family has withdrawn its troops from the border south of the Yellow River, let's quickly send soldiers and horses to occupy it, otherwise the people of the Zhao family will take the lead."

After Chen Zhuang got the news, he immediately rushed to the government office and found him like an old cadre, drinking tea and reading the documents in his hand. "What's the panic, I don't have the wind of a general at all, I live like a shrew who cares about a few pennies in the market."

Lu Zhan actually got the news a little earlier than Chen Zhuang, and Lu Zhan was there at Luo Yuechan when the news that the agents who were lurking there had transferred the army to the north came over.

At the beginning, Lu Zhan was also preparing to roar and prepare to mobilize light cavalry to seize the important place before, and what Lu Zhan said to Chen Zhuang just now was what Luo Yuechan said to him before.

"Why don't you let me go with my soldiers and horses to occupy those low-hanging fruit, if I go late, it will all be occupied by the Zhao family." Chen Zhuang was still surprised by Lu Zhan's reluctance to send troops, this was obviously a cheap not to make money, isn't this a fool.

"Let me analyze and analyze with you, the territory south of the Yellow River in this Yellow River Zhijia is either surnamed Lu or Zhao. If we fall out with the Zhao family because of these territories, the last one to gain benefits is the Zhi family, so I guess this Zhao He will definitely send someone to negotiate with me about the division of the territory, if his Zhao family wants to monopolize the territory of the Zhi family south of the Yellow River, he will lose the ally in the south is us, and the ally in the northwest is my cousin, so Zhao He will never give up two powerful allies for these lands south of the Yellow River. ”

After Chen Zhuang heard Lu Zhan talk so much, he couldn't help but praise his lord again for being really far-sighted.

And Lu Zhan sighed that his female Zhuge could come up with such a complete plan in such a short time, and such a person was fortunately discovered by himself.

"Then let's wait for the Zhao family to send someone over? When can we do it to Zhijia. ”

Hearing that there is no battle to fight in his hands now, this Chen Zhuang is a little itchy both in his hands and in his heart. Charging into battle, commanding tens of thousands of people to attack back and forth, that is a pleasure.

"Don't worry, when the envoy of the Zhao family arrives, we can do it to the Zhi family, this north doesn't know who is the overlord."

It is the Zhi family who is at the end of the strong crossbow but the tiger is still there, or the Zhao family, who has been fighting for many years, or the Zhongli family, who is inferior in strength but also a big force.

"Report that there is an envoy claiming to be the Zhao family outside the main door." A small official walked to the bottom of the hall and said to the two.

"It's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived. General Chen, look at the people who have come to negotiate, let's go and meet them. In order to show solemnity, Lu Zhan was ready to greet the envoy in person, if he didn't give enough face to others, maybe things would not be easy to handle in the future. The lessons of history tell Lu Zhan that giving face to others is to make it convenient for himself.

"Wait a minute, lord."

"What's wrong?"

"Who did you just say Cao Cao, I have never heard of this character since I was a child." Chen Zhuang suddenly shouted to Lu Zhan, who was about to go out.

It's not good, this Boss Cao is a figure in his own historical trajectory, and it is impossible for Chen Zhuang to know about it.

After pretending to be calm, Lu Zhan forced a smile, "I met this person when I was in Shuozhou, and local legend says that as soon as his name is mentioned, he will come to you." ”

After forcibly explaining, Chen Zhuang also went with Lu Zhan to greet the messenger who had already gone outside.

"It turned out to be Lord Lu who greeted him personally, how embarrassed Dong was." Dong Zhen was also frightened when he saw that it was Lu Zhan who came to greet him in person, he was terrified on the surface, but he was happy in his heart.

This dignified Viscount of Yanzhou, Lu Zhan, greeted him personally, and Dong Zhen could also brag to his colleagues after he went back, and Dong Zhen also did a lot of etiquette in the face of Lu Zhan, who gave himself face.

"Presumably, with Lord Lu's ingenuity, I have already guessed the purpose of the envoy's coming, so I will get straight to the point. The land south of the Yellow River is divided between our two families. How about the surname Lu in the west of Peng County and the surname Zhao in the east? ”

It seems that the conditions for this partition are still very good, and it is not a loss to get so much territory at once and then send troops north.

"Zhao Jiaken wants to let it so much, Lu naturally has no problem here. Mr. Dong must have something else to do when he came this time. Lu Zhan specially brought Dong Zhen to a place to entertain guests.

And Dong Zhen thought it was a place to meet ordinary visitors, but he didn't expect that the venue of this land exhibition would be chosen in such a chic place.

And Dong Zhen has never received such courtesy in the Zhao family, and he had confessed that it was three or seven points of land before the envoy, but this Dong Zhen suddenly faced such a courtesy and showed the hole card two or eight points.

"Oh, it's good to talk to a smart person like the lord, after taking the Zhi family south of the Yellow River, I hope that the lord can immediately cross the Yellow River and go north to attack Qinzhou, where Zhiyu is located." Dong Zhen began to say the second purpose of the trip.

This Qinzhou is the gateway to the south of the family, but the main forces of the Zhao family and the Zhongli family are deployed in the north to face off against the old master of the Zhi family. Although Zhiyu in the south is not dealing with his father, when it comes to the critical moment of life and death, this Zhiyu will definitely take the soldiers and horses from the south to the north to reinforce his father.

There are still 3,000 nails in the broken ship, and this wise man also has good military strength. Moreover, if you defend, you can recruit a lot of militia to fight, and the Zhi family, who has the advantage of fighting at home, is still a strong opponent of the Zhao family and the Zhongli family.

"This dispatch of troops is naturally a matter of duty, but the three of you are fighting in the Jin Dynasty, and I, an outsider, are not only unknown, but also what to do with the land north of the Yellow River."

The core issue that Lu Zhan cares about is still interests, if the land he has worked so hard to win is given to the Zhao family or the Zhongli family for nothing, it will be too much of a loss.

Dong Zhen has also been prepared for a long time, "This fight is as much as it takes, but after the war, we still have to negotiate, and we can exchange some of the land they need." ”
