Chen Cheng said with a smile: "Wen He is really a person with extraordinary intelligence, and it is true that someone from Yanzhou has secretly contacted me. ”

While he was talking, Yan Zhong also arrived. After Yan Bodao came in, he wrinkled his nose first, looked at the wooden box on the table, and asked, "Whose head is this?" ”

Although it has been pickled, the disgusting stench cannot be concealed.

Chen Cheng sighed and told him what had happened and his own decision to send troops. Yan Zhong frowned and asked, "Has the situation in Xuzhou deteriorated to such an extent?" Even Gao Shun was killed in battle? There are only three months left before the autumn harvest, can't Liu Bei support it for another three months? Or do we buy more grain and grass from Yangzhou and Jingzhou and send it to Xuzhou? ”

"It's not enough, it's far from enough," Chen Cheng handed Liu Bei's letter to Yan Zhong and said, "Bo Dao, you can see it yourself." ”

Yan Zhong took the letter, read it at a glance, and said with some disapproval: "You can't raise troops out of anger, the people of Xuzhou are very miserable, but the prince can't change his original plan because of this!" A small number of soldiers is not enough to defeat Cao Cao, and there is no way to supply if there are many soldiers, so do you want to learn from Cao Mengde and transfer it locally in Yanzhou? ”

Chen Cheng said: "This time, I only plan to take 10,000 people out of Tongguan, plus the 10,000 people in Xu Rong's hands, 20,000 people are enough." ”

"Twenty thousand people .......", Yan Zhong thought for a moment and asked, "Too little, right?" ”

"What if you add the local scholars in Yanzhou, and Zang Ba and others who are entrenched in Mount Tai?"

"Cao Mengde's unprecedentedly strict land breaking law in Yanzhou will indeed cause dissatisfaction among the locals, but do they really have the courage to rebel? Zang Ba was defeated by Cao Cao several times, and he may not be able to send troops. Yan Zhong looked at Jia Xu on the side, then turned around and said to Chen Cheng: "I think Liu Bei is exaggerating the difficulties and wants to use this to force the lord to send troops!" ”

Chen Cheng shook his head and said: "Xuzhou is really about to be unable to hold on, once Xiapi is broken, there will be no stronger city that can be compared to it." If the people of Xuzhou could not see the hope of victory and surrendered to Yanzhou, then Cao Cao would have crossed Xu Yan. With the wealth of Xuzhou and the ferocity of Cao Jun, it is even more difficult to deal with. ”

He knew that Liu Bei was an indomitable hero, and Chen Deng's father and son were also rare heroes in the world, but others in Xuzhou might not be able to face death unwaveringly. Even if there is a deep feud in the sea of blood, in the face of life and death, the position may change. As far as Chen Cheng knows, there are many such things.

Yan Zhong pondered it in his heart, and then asked, "How sure are you that the prince is going?" ”

Chen Cheng said: "I dare not say that I am completely sure, there are always six or seven percent." ”

"Among the Yanzhou people who have contacted the prince, who is the leader?"

Chen Cheng looked left and right, and said a name in a low voice.

"Is it him?"

Yan Zhong's face showed a look of disbelief, "He's Cao Mengde's henchman!" ”

Jia Xu has always been moody, and at this time there was a surprised expression on his face. If what Chen Cheng said is true, where is there only six or seven percent certainty? At least one of the eight or nine percent is right.

But could this be true?

Not only did Jia Xu think of this problem in a blink of mind, but Yan Zhong also had the same worry, "The timing is too coincidental!" Could it be that there is fraud in it? ”

Now that the main forces of the Cao army are trapped in Xuzhou, Yanzhou's defense is extremely empty, if this person really throws himself to the imperial court, it is tantamount to a salary from the bottom of the kettle. Not to mention 20,000 people, even if there are only 10,000 people, Cao Cao can be killed!

Jia Xu and Yan Zhong both expressed doubts about this matter, but Chen Cheng believed in it. Because this incident also happened in the original history, he heard about Bian Rang being killed and his family property confiscated, so he had no doubt about the authenticity of the matter.

"It stands to reason that what Cao Cao is most afraid of now is that we will suddenly send troops. Even if he likes to deceive, he will never provoke us at this time. Chen Cheng said: "I decided to lead the troops to the east the day after tomorrow, but this matter must be kept secret and not let outsiders know." ”

Yan Zhong felt that even if he couldn't successfully defeat Cao Cao, he would never do any harm. Even if Yanzhou can't be successfully annexed, isn't it a big deal to return it? Although the grain and grass near Luoyang will be consumed, Yanzhou will only suffer greater losses if it is attacked.

But...... Yan Zhong asked, "The tooth soldiers have not all returned, which soldiers and horses does the prince want to bring to Yanzhou?" ”

Chen Cheng said: "There are 3,000 people in the camp plus the flying bear hussars, and then 3,000 Xiliang troops and 3,000 Guanzhong soldiers and horses, in addition to some sappers and baggage soldiers, just 10,000 people." Let the household department and the military department prepare overnight, and the required weapons, armor, war horses, and horses must be prepared within two days. ”

"Okay, I'll go to Shangshu Province to urge them to start preparing."

The large-scale transfer of troops, horses, and materials could not hide from the eyes of those who cared about it, but because the news of the troops was blocked at the top level, even if outsiders could detect it, it would be a few days later. Moreover, these days, there are constantly tooth soldiers returning to Chang'an from Bingzhou, and there are constantly soldiers and horses going to Bingzhou, even if there are spies lurking in Chang'an City, they will not be able to figure out the true movements of the imperial court's soldiers and horses.

After the release, Chen Cheng returned to the General's Mansion. Before I even entered the door, I heard the sound of the girls laughing. Liu Qian was talking to Zi Jia'er when she heard the sound of footsteps outside, and immediately got up and rushed out, threw herself into Chen Cheng's arms, and said crisply: "Master, you're back!" ”

She looked up and asked, "Why did you come back so early today?" ”

Chen Cheng lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Liu Qian reached out and hooked his neck and kissed him on the lips. Chen Cheng kissed her and said, "Okay, there are others on the side." ”

Liu Qian's nostrils made a "uh-huh" sound, sweet and authentic; "Zi Jia'er is no one else."

After a while, Chen Cheng took Princess Wannian off her body and said, "I won't go to Weiyang Palace tomorrow, just watch the song and dance at home." ”

Zi Jia'er bowed down on the side and said, "I've seen the general!" ”

Chen Cheng asked Liu Qian to help Zi Jia'er up and said, "You are the princess's best friend, and you can come to the house often in the next few months." ”

Liu Qian tilted her head and asked, "Master, are you going to take the troops out to fight again?" ”

Chen Cheng touched his chin and said, "Is what I said so obvious?" ”

"yes, it's that obvious."

"Then it seems that I have to pay attention to the way I speak in the future," Chen Cheng shook his head and said, "Otherwise, everything will be seen through by you." ”

Liu Qian said with a smile: "Go out to fight and take me with you, I can charge with you during the day, and I can also help you warm the bed at night." ”

Zi Jia'er was blushing when she heard it on the side, and hurriedly said, "The general and the princess have something to say, so the slave family will retire first." ”

With that, she lowered her head and hurriedly retreated from the lobby.

Chen Cheng also felt that taking Liu Qian with him would be beneficial to the war. Well, the good thing here doesn't refer to the warm bed. But he still shook his head and said, "Guanzhong is our foundation, I need you to help me watch some here." ”

"Aren't there Yan Zhong and Jia Xu?"

"Bo Dao is bold and careful, but he doesn't have enough energy. Jia Xu is very intelligent, but he is a top priority to protect himself with wisdom, they all have one or another shortcoming, and they are okay under normal circumstances. If something unexpected happens, I'm afraid Bodao will take the opportunity to kill. ”

Chen Cheng said: "If that happens, Jia Xu will not stop it." Others did not have the qualifications and prestige of Bo Dao, and their official positions could not be compared with Bo Dao, so they were afraid that those court ministers would be killed. ”

"Then appoint a Shangshu Order or a Zhongshu Order, and divide Yan Zhong's rights in half?"

"I've thought so, but there's no right person."

Liu Qian was wearing a red skirt today, with a red headband tied on her head, looking playful and cute, she supported one cheek with her hand, and said: "My prestige and qualifications are not enough, even if I stay, I can't care about Shangshuling and Zhongshuling, it's better to go to war with you!" ”

"You are the younger sister of today's son, the princess of Wannian in the imperial court, and the wife of the general, who dares not to listen to you?"

Liu Qian said with a smile: "I always feel that the title of Mrs. General is a bit weird." ”

"Then I think it's weird for you to call me master."

"But when I call you master.........."

Ahem, Chen Cheng stretched out his hand to cover Liu Qian's lips and said, "Let's still get down to business, I will give an order to the provincial ministry and let you act as the general during the period when I lead the troops to the battle." ”

"I'm a general?" Liu Qian thought for a moment, with an excited look in her eyes, "Sounds interesting!" ”

"Hey, let you temporarily take over the position of the general, just let you watch the family, not let you make any big news!"

When I was in Liangzhou before, there was "Yinchuan Daily". After arriving in Guanzhong, there was "Chang'an Daily", so Liu Qian knew what the news meant, and she was a little dissatisfied; "Am I the kind of person who likes to have nothing to do?"

"Well......... It's hard to say. ”

Liu Qian pretended to be angry, but suddenly thought of something, so he put his head on his lap and asked, "Hasn't Bingzhou already been defeated?" Master, where are you going to fight? Is it the Xianbei people in Mobei? ”

"Yanzhou," Chen Cheng said, "The person to deal with this time is Cao Cao." ”

"Emperor Wu of Wei Cao Mengde?" Liu Qian sat up and said in surprise: "Didn't you say that you will only send troops to Yanzhou after the autumn?" ”

"There's no way, Xuzhou can't support it anymore. Cao Cao dug up Surabaya and flooded the city of Pi. If it weren't for Gao Shun and his troops, I am afraid that even Second Brother Guan would not be spared. "Chen Cheng has calmed down a lot now when he talks about this matter," Cao Cao also sent Gao Shun's head over. If we don't send troops again, I'm afraid that the next time we send it, we won't know whose head it is. ”

"Gao Shun is dead?" Liu Qian said with some pity: "His skills in training and fighting are very good. ”

But then she said: "In this way, there is no one left of Lu Bu's old department." ”
