Chapter 198: The Northern War

Zhang Gen was silent, he was about to speak again, but was stopped by Kong Liang, he quietly covered his sleeves and said: "No need to say more, you quickly invite King Chen Liu to come to greet Your Majesty!" ”

"My lord, I have been invited several times in the morning, but Chen Liuwang said that he was sick and it was inconvenient to come..."

"Please! Kong Liang had a worried face, and finally made up his mind and said: "I want to give His Royal Highness to a certain frame..."This Cao Cao has already had murderous intentions, and the little emperor is also quite unkind to this brother, if he is caught at this moment and treated for a disrespectful crime, this Chen Liuwang's life is afraid that it is in danger!

"It's... Be! Zhang Gen replied with a fist clenched.

Kong Liang looked up at the sky, and muttered to himself with an extremely resolute expression: "Your Majesty, you have the grace of knowing a certain family, and you have to protect your highness's life to protect the bloodline of the Han family!" ”

At the same time that Cao Cao moved the capital, Yuan Shaojun continued to attack in the north, giving Cao Jun great pressure, and this was the third letter that Cao Cao received from Xun Yu to urgently ask for help for 800 li.

In the early morning, the sky was slightly bright, and Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Hua King and others were waiting outside the imperial study early. A rush of footsteps came from the inner court, and soon, a tired Cao Cao appeared in front of them: "The three high-ranking talents, you must know the purpose of Lone's summoning of you: now that Cai County is lost, the north is in an emergency, Yuan Shao's three-way soldiers and horses are advancing together, Xun Wen is afraid that he will not be able to hold Xu County, whether to fight or retreat, he needs Lone to give him an idea." ”

"Although Yuan Jun is fierce, he is the light of rice grains, and he dares to compete for the sun and the moon! Lord, no matter what, Xu Dushi is the capital of our army, and the psychological hints of the soldiers are extremely strong, and retreating from the army must be the next step! The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth! ASRock stepped forward and arched his hand: "Compared with Yuan Jun, our army still has fewer generals!" The defenders north of Xu County are even weaker, even if the soldiers are equal, they are not the opponents of Yan Liang and Zhang Jaw! He couldn't understand Cao Cao's attitude towards Xiahoudun, so he didn't recommend the general easily, but only emphasized the meaning of not retreating.

Cheng Yu is also a bachelor, they know that Cao Cao summoned himself and other Wenchen to come to the imperial study at this time, that is, to recommend the general, he stroked his goatee and said directly: "I think that the Xiahou brothers have been absent from the battle formation for a long time, and the desire to fight is very high, can you send Cai Xuchang to try!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes lit up, but he looked at Guo Jia who was smiling to the side, "Fengxiao, Zhongde recommended the Xiahou brothers to go on the expedition, do you have a different opinion?!" ”

"My lord, the minister has another candidate to recommend!" Guo Jia said confidently: "At present, the situation in Jingzhou is slowing down, and the north has become the main battlefield for the lord to unify the world. Then Uncle Liu's generals are already idle, why not give it a try..."

That's right! This uncle and brother of his own harbor evil intentions, but he can't let him sit in Jingzhou, Cao Cao nodded suddenly. Don't say it, you really ignored Liu Bei and the monsters under him. Although this Yan Liang and Zhang Jaw are brave, I am afraid that they are not the opponents of those fierce men. It is the best strategy for them to fight to the death, to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, a good plan! It's a genius of ghosts and gods! He smiled and nodded at Guo Jia and said, "Fengxiao, it makes sense." Pass the order of the orphan, let Liu Xuande come to receive the order quickly! ”

"Slow! Lord! Guo Jia took a step forward and said: "My lord, my subordinates have the courage to take over this rescue task, and they only need to borrow the three generals Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Huang Zhong under Xuande Gong!" ”

Cao Cao instantly understood Guo Jia's deep meaning, wouldn't this be the best opportunity to divide Liu Bei's camp, you must know that the biggest official position of the general under Liu Bei's account is Guan Yu's Liupin Battalion Captain. Thinking of this, he nodded hurriedly: "The military division is out, this battle will be safe, I will give you 50,000 elite soldiers, Liu Xuande's three generals, rest for half a day, and set off at noon tomorrow!" ”

"Yes, my lord!"

Cheng Yu glanced at Guo Jia expressionlessly, but the waves were rolling in his heart, and he was also a first-class strategist under Cao Cao's account, but whether it was Xun Yu or Guo Jia, they were like mountains that he couldn't overcome. The day before yesterday, in the battle of Cai County, he was completely defeated under Xun Yu, and at this moment, Guo Jia, who returned from "defection", was more trusted by Cao Cao than himself, how sad his heart was, this was not an era for him Cheng Yu, he could only shake his head and leave.

Liu Bei also slandered Cao Cao for a long time when he received Cao Cao's order, but he pretended to smile and accept the order. Before parting, Liu Fatzi held the big hands of Guan Yu and others and cried, unwilling to let go, he knew that his posture should be sufficient at this time. After the Northern War, these powerful brothers of their own will inevitably usher in a peak in their careers, and this is precisely the time when they are most likely to abandon themselves.

Guan Yu and the others were also moved, saying that even if the emperor asked them to be their son-in-law, they would not leave Liu Bei's camp Yunyun, which is actually, not to mention that the little emperor will be 8 years old this year, where will the daughter be rewarded! Moreover, these generals have no war in Xiangfan, and they have been suppressed for a long time, and after hearing that they are going to fight Yan Liang, Zhang Jaw and other northern generals, they have long been eager to try their hearts and minds, you must know that this is a good opportunity to make yourself famous in the world, as a martial artist, who will give up? cough, cough, as long as Liu Bei's camp is big enough, it will naturally not leave.

Only Zhang Fei muttered a word, which made Liu Beiqi's seven orifices smoke, this guy obviously ignored Liu Da'er's sharpness, and said in a low voice: Big brother howled but no tears came out, can you fake it a little more!

His words diluted the whole parting emotion, Guan Yu and the others shook their heads helplessly, this third brother is a muddy person, not to mention Liu Bei, how can anyone in this world have a way to take him! To worry about him is to be uncomfortable with yourself! After figuring this out, Liu Bei's distant figure was a little less trembling, and he looked much coquettish.

After Guo Jia led a group of men and horses to join Guan Yu's troops, he completed the rectification at Tiger Prison Pass and quickly reinforced the front line.

In less than two days, the army had arrived near Xu County. Xun Yu heard the news and personally went out of the city thirty miles to greet him. As soon as he saw the elite soldier who couldn't see his head, he couldn't help laughing: "As soon as Feng Xiao comes, the gray hair on my head will fade a lot." ”

Guo Jia got out of the carriage and hurried to meet him, and Lao Yuan hugged his fists and said with a smile: "Brother Wen Ruo has raised a certain family, you and my brother have joined forces, I am afraid that Yan Liang Xiao'er will know the difficulties and retreat, so that the general under my account will not be able to play his role!" ”

"Don't worry, there will be a fight!" Xun Yu held Guo Jia's hand and said affectionately. He glanced at Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong behind Guo Jia, and nodded appreciatively: "I have heard that there are many good talents under the Xuande public account, and when I see the rank today, I know that what I said is true. Having three people help each other is a blessing for my great man. ”

When they first heard this, Guan Yu and Huang Zhong were fine, and they both smiled and bowed their heads.

Only that Zhang Fei couldn't help laughing: "That's right, that's right, you kid really knows the goods!" We're here, you just wait to use Yan Liang'er's head as a night pot! ”

"Third brother, don't be rude!" Guan Yu scolded softly, of course, he was also smiling and calmly accepted Xun Yu's praise. In his mind, Zhang Fei's words are all right, but he has to say them in a more restrained context.

Fang entered the city, and the scout hurriedly came to report! "Report! Strategist! Yan Liang's generals Qi Xuan are fighting outside! It has reached twenty miles outside the city of Xu County. ”

Zhang Fei laughed, slapped the table in front of him excitedly with his big hand, and only heard a loud "bang". "Well done! Wu Na Bird Commander, let someone go and bring some night pots! ”

Xun Yu and Guo Jia both have black lines on their faces, this guy is too presumptuous, what is a bird military division? Liu Xuande, you who have no king and no father, really taught a group of good brothers, here Guo Jia coughed lightly, and ordered: "This battle cannot be lost, Yun Chang, you are the main general, and General Huang is the vanguard, we will meet these northern nephews!" Remember, our army is tired of traveling and traveling, and without a certain military order, you are not allowed to go out without authorization! ”

"No!"

"Peng." Zhang Fei slapped the table table violently, "Grandma, you all have something to do, what is Lao Tzu doing?" ”

Xun Yu sat at the table, his head swayed, looking drowsy, seeing that Guo Jia did not respond for a long time, he hurriedly added: "The day before yesterday, our army suffered a secret loss from the Yuan army, and the grain road between Xu County and Cai County was blocked.

Rush to repair the grain road! Nima, what a good errand! Zhang Fei's face was swollen and red when he heard this, and he was slandered in his heart. Knowing that he was suffering a loss that he would lose if he said a lot, he suddenly felt a faint sense of loss. Although he has always been troubled by the lack of opportunities to make meritorious deeds, he is still a little uncomfortable if these achievements need to be obtained by slapping horses. Watching Guan Yu and Huang Zhong lead the army with triumph, the corners of his eyes twitched violently, Xun Yu looked funny, but he didn't continue to tease him, but gently patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, as long as you have the ability, there will be no stage... If this stage is not given to you by filial piety, it will be given to you! ”

Zhang Fei nodded silently, and arched his hand towards Xun Yu very seriously.

"Dudu, the princess is menacing, and she doesn't look at it well, do you think you want to avoid it?" Although Tai Shi Ci lowered Zhou Yu, he still had a trace of inextricable complexes for the Sun family in Jiangdong, and Zhou Yu's face was uncertain here, lest he be unfavorable to Sun Ren, and hurriedly spoke. Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gan Ning, Gan Ning really had good intentions, what is the relationship between Zhou Yu and Sun Ren, others don't know, how can he, as Zhou Yu's sworn brother, not know, Zhou Yu escaped from the framing of the Sun brothers several times and was not this baby princess to help. At this moment, Sun Quan is gone, but this princess is reluctantly coming to ask for the second brother, but in fact, she is here to have a private meeting with her lover! This is too Shi Ziyi to come out of the way, it's really boring for himself.

Zhou Yu frowned and secretly thought that Yu Linglong had defected to Yuan Shao, and he should not have spread the news of Sun Quan's suicide to Jiangdong, otherwise with Sun Ren's personality, where would he report his own troops, and he would have killed one person and one sword a long time ago. It's a pity that Sun Quan is also a resolute person and is unwilling to surrender. Well, I'll leave her a thought. Zhou Yu raised his eyes and looked at the sky in the distance, the sky was covered with smoke, and the sky had become gray, which was Zhou Yu's mood at this moment.

Here, Tai Shi Ci didn't dare to ask him questions when he saw Zhou Yu's poor face, turned to Gan Ning and asked, "Where is the second son buried, Xingba?" ”

Gan Ning glanced at Zhou Yu, and before he could speak, Zhou Yu's soft voice was already echoing in Tai Shici's ears: "Who said that the second son is gone?" It's just that I'm seriously injured, and when I heard the news that Zhang Taishou was traveling to Ercheng, I have quickly asked Xingba to send him to Ercheng for treatment! ”
