As soon as these words came out, I saw Diao Chan's little face flushed, and he hurriedly nodded his head apologetically:

"Oh, it's a slave and a maid who is confused, and it's not strange to look at the husband and the husband."

After finishing speaking, there was no follow-up, obviously disturbed by the "husband" just now.

Seeing this scene, Dong Bai, who was sitting on the side, only sighed secretly.

It seems that if she wants to get the truth out of the big devil's mouth, she can only rely on herself.

"Big devil, don't try to prevaricate us with this method, I, Dong Bai, am not so easy to fool! Tell me, why the hell are you avoiding it? ”

"I—I really don't!" Hua Xing said innocently.

"Still don't admit it? Good! If you don't, I won't leave today! I'll follow you wherever you go in the future, and I'll see how much military affairs you have to be busy! ”

Seeing that Dong Bai was in a posture of breaking the casserole and asking to the end, Huaxing knew that he would definitely not be able to cope with it just by playing tricks, so he had to start the second plan:

"Alas! Well, let's be honest with you. The reason why I have been leaving early and returning late during this time is because...... There is a war about to break out! ”

"What?" Dong Bai said suspiciously: "There is another war?" ”

"That's right! This was supposed to be a military secret and should not have been told to you. But now, in order not to misunderstand the two of you, I can only tell you quietly. ”

Speaking of this, I heard Huaxing deliberately lower his volume and said with a serious face:

"In a few days, a terrible war will break out in Sizhou. With any luck, we might survive. But if you're unlucky, the entire village could be destroyed! ”

Hearing that the consequences were so serious, Dong Bai and Diao Chan were stunned on the spot, obviously frightened by this disappearance.

But after a short period of thought, Dong Bai quickly found the problem and asked with a suspicious face:

"Wait a minute! I said, big devil, you don't deliberately find an excuse to scare us, do you? I remember very well that we signed a non-aggression pact with the imperial court and became an ally with Cao Jun. Who in this state will be against us? ”

Not to mention, Dong Bai's little head is really not bad, she remembers these important military aircraft very clearly.

"Hehe, Madam is right, in Sizhou, we really don't have any enemies."

At this point, Huaxing had nothing to deny, and immediately nodded his head.

But then, I listened to his voice and said:

"But as far as I know, there will soon be people who will be unfavorable to Cao Jun. As allies, we will inevitably be implicated in the incident. So during this time, I have been busy with armaments, and I really didn't mean to avoid the two ladies. ”

"Huh? You mean...... Someone is going to attack Xuchang? ”

As soon as these words came out, I saw Dong Bai raise his eyebrows, and he didn't seem to believe Huaxing's words:

"When? Why did you know in advance? ”

"This, this......"

Just when Huaxing was hesitant and didn't know how to explain, a soldier's voice suddenly came from outside the door of the command room:

"General Qiyu, there is a Xuchang envoy who asks for a meeting, saying that there is an urgent military consultation, I wonder if the general has summoned him?"

Huaxing really didn't expect that the Xuchang envoy would come so coincidentally!

Just when he was speechless, he appeared outside the door, as if tailor-made for him.

After clearing his throat, Huaxing immediately had an idea. With a solemn face, he said to the second daughter in front of him:

"Two ladies, this should be Cao Jun's messenger for help. Otherwise, when the messenger is summoned, you two will be here to listen. I'm sure you'll know if I'm lying after listening to this man's words. ”

After that, without waiting for the second daughter to react, Huaxing rushed out of the door and issued an order to summon him.

It wasn't long before the door to the command room was pushed open.

An elegant man in his thirties, dressed in court clothes, walked into the room with a wisp of fragrance.

After seeing Dong Bai and Diao Chan sitting on the side, this person was stunned for a moment, not understanding why there was a woman in this meeting hall.

But soon, he turned his attention back to Hua Xing's body, stood in the hall and clenched his fists and said:

"In Xia Xunyu, I am specially ordered by the lord of my family to come to meet the general!"

"Oh? It turned out to be Xun Sima? Hehe, please take a seat. ”

After Xun Yu took a seat, Hua Xing pointed to the second daughter on the side and introduced:

"These two are my ladies, and we were discussing something important. Let them stay here, adults don't mind, right? ”

As soon as he heard that it was Huaxing's wife, Xun Yu hurriedly got up to pay respects, and then shook his head and said:

"If Wen Ruo's visit is abrupt, how dare you mind Madame? The general was overwhelmed. ”

"Oh, that's good, that's good." After smiling and nodding, he listened to Huaxing's words:

"I wonder why you came here this time?"

"I came to ask the general for help on the orders of the lord!"

Speaking of the word for help, Xun Yu stood up from the chair with a pleading face, and bowed deeply to Huaxing.

"Asking for help?"

Huaxing pretended to be surprised and said:

"What's wrong? Is it General Cao's disadvantage to conquer Yanzhou? ”

"Definitely! After making an alliance with the general, my lord rushed to Yanzhou in person. In less than two months, all the Yellow Turban thieves who occupied Yanzhou were exterminated. not only captured more than 300,000 soldiers, but was also named Yanzhou Mu by the saint. ”

"Oh! It turned out to be a big victory, huh? That's a great way to congratulate! ”

After nodding and smiling, he listened to Huaxing and asked puzzledly:

"Where do you start with the call for help?"

"Alas! About half a month ago, for some reason, Yuan Shao, who was in Hebei, suddenly led his troops south and went straight to Xuchang, obviously to disadvantage the other party's army. After discovering this, the lord ordered me to come to the general for help, and hoped that the general would quickly lead his troops to Xuchang. ”

In order to show his sincerity, Xun Yu had been standing in the hall when he spoke, and after speaking, he did not forget to bow deeply to Huaxing.

"Oh? Yuan Shao actually had the kung fu to come to Sizhou? Isn't he at war with Gongsun Chan? Hua Xing said with a puzzled expression.

"It was before. But it seems that someone has mediated it, and the two sides have reached an armistice two months ago. ”

I heard that someone had mediated, and it was exactly two months ago.

Huaxing didn't have to guess to know that this must have been secretly operated by Lu Pu.

As for Yuan Shao's military horses, although he didn't know what means the other party used, he must have been mobilized by Lu Pu.

"Oh, I see...... How many soldiers and horses did Yuan Shao bring this time? He just ended the war, so he shouldn't be able to send too much, right? ”

Xun Yu nodded and replied:

"According to the spies' report, Yuan Shao did not pour out his pockets, but the troops sent ...... It's not a small one, a total of more than 100,000 people! ”

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, 100,000 troops were already a lot!

Looking at the world, there are few warlords who can casually transfer an army of 100,000.

So after hearing the number, Huaxing immediately frowned:

"Huh? So many people? That's really not easy...... Ay? I remember that you just said that General Cao captured 300,000 soldiers in Yanzhou? Wouldn't it be foolproof to bring them to use? ”
