Liu De led the army directly in front of Yang Zichuan's camp, Yang Zichuan's army just watched coldly, and did not come out to stop it at all, and the high hearts of the generals under Liu De finally let go.

"The whole army is speeding up!" Liu De held high the order flag.

Gongsun Qi was the first to arrive at Dongfu City as the vanguard army, and the defenders of Dongfu City had already been waiting for it.

The cold arrow pointed at the cavalry led by Gongsun Qi.

Zhou Daoguo rode a horse to the city: "Zhou Daodao, the commander under the command of General Anbei, please open the city gate quickly!" ”

When the guard learned that Liu De was coming, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to tell Guo Zidong, and after Guan Yuzhu learned the news, he also hurriedly went out of the city to greet him.

"General Liu, don't come here in a few months!"

Guo Zidong saw Liu De and laughed.

"With General Lao Guo worried, everything is fine!" Liu De turned over and dismounted, which was also a return gift.

In the eyes of those who don't know, the two are like close friends, and they talk happily.

"General Liu, please go into the city for a while! I have ordered someone to prepare a banquet for General Liu. Guo Zidong stretched out his hand and invited.

"There's General Lao Guo!"

Liu De thanked and entered the city gate with everyone.

Yang Zichuan got the report, twisted his beard and said softly: "It seems that Liu De has made a decision and wants to twist all his combat power into a fist and break our army in one fell swoop." ”

"Lord, what should we do next?" Miao Zhou asked.

"Just stick to it!"

"But..."Miao Zhou thought that something was wrong, and wanted to persuade but was afraid of Yang Zichuan's scolding, so he hesitated a little.

Yang Zichuan is old and refined, how could he not see Miao Zhou's thoughts, and he was not angry, but said: "Don't say more, take orders!" ”

"The Last General's Order!"

Miao Zhou looked at Yang Zichuan, who was expressionless and his eyes were cloudy, and felt a trace of fear, so he didn't dare to say more, so he found an excuse and withdrew from the tent.

When he came outside, as soon as the cold wind blew, Miao Zhou shivered, and his back was wet with sweat.

Dongfu City Mansion.

Guo Zidong, Liu De and others have already sat down, the silk and bamboo sounded, the song and dance began, the singing voice was tactful, and the waist was graceful, as if the army displayed outside the city no longer existed at all, the world was peaceful, and the song and dance were peaceful.

Many people in the seat did not put their minds on singing and dancing, and their eyes looked at Guo Zidong on the main seat from time to time, and then turned to Liu De.

Liu De and Guo Zidong were able to calm down, one sipped wine, and the other admired the graceful waist in front of him without blinking, and the flying water sleeves.

"Smack!"

Guo Zidong slapped his palms twice, the musician heard it, the sound of silk and bamboo stopped, and they squatted down for a thousand blessings and exited the hall, leaving only the remaining fragrance floating in the air.

The generals looked at each other and knew that the next step was to discuss the most important matters at hand.

Guan Yu and the others also straightened their backs and sat upright on their seats, all looking at Liu De, who had already put down the wine cup.

Guo Zidong spoke first: "Now that the two armies of Dongfu and Dongyu have joined forces, their strength has increased greatly, but Yang Zichuan has shrunk his troops, and he can't get out of the village, and Jinyang Pass is in an emergency, so this general decided to send 10,000 horses to support Jinyang Pass, I don't know what your opinions are?" ”

"General Guo!"

Liu De turned around and asked, "I don't know if sending 10,000 horses over can defeat the Beiping army?" ”

Guo Zidong shook his head: "The Beiping Army has 100,000 horses, and the leading general is the general of the Beiping Army who is very good at attacking the city [Uncle Yang], I originally thought that with Yan He's ability and Gongye Yang's defense equipment, at least I could hold Jinyang for more than half a year, but I didn't expect that it would be a frequent emergency in just a few months, according to Yan He's letter, he can only hold on for a month now, and this 10,000 horses will only let Yan He hold on for a while longer, and he will definitely not be able to defeat the Beiping army." ”

Guo Zidong saw this very clearly.

Liu De stood up and asked loudly, "General Guo, how many soldiers and horses do we have?" How many soldiers and horses does Yang Zichuan have? ”

"Together with the troops, we have nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses! And Yang Zichuan still has 60,000 or 70,000 horses. ”

Liu De nodded, and then said: "Transferring 10,000 horses can not defeat the Beiping army, and the remaining troops are powerless against Yang Zichuan's troops, this is completely useless, and I don't believe that Yang Zichuan will easily give up attacking Dongfu, he will definitely have some premeditation!" ”

Guo Zidong's face was unswerving: "Then General Liu thinks that with us, we will be able to capture Yang Zichuan's camp within a month?" No, it should be said that there is only half a month, from Dongfu to Jinyang Pass, it will take half a month for the army to arrive at the earliest. ”

"Then half a month to break through Yang Zichuan's camp!" Liu De grasped his fist in his hand, his eyes were resolute, and his tone was quite affirmative.

"General Liu, you're still too young and vigorous!" Guo Zidong was quite unimpressed by what Liu De said, if it was so simple, Yang Zichuan would not be worthy of serving as a state pastor in Yanzhou, where the heroes rose together, for decades!

"The 10,000 men and horses supporting Jinyang Pass can completely allow Yan He to hold out for one to two more months, and Yang Zichuan's army is demoralized, the food and grass are insufficient, and there are many sergeants, I expect that he will not be able to hold out for two months, and at that time, our army can completely defeat Yang Zichuan and turn to support Jinyang Pass, and when it is winter, the enemy army will not be able to endure the severe cold, and will definitely retreat on its own."

Guo Zidong seemed full of confidence and was quite proud of his plan.

"General Guo, there is no need for Yang Zichuan to shrink his forces at all, he just wants the general to send troops to support Jinyang, this is definitely a conspiracy!" Liu De continued.

If Guo Zidong transfers 10,000 soldiers and horses, it will definitely give Yang Zichuan a chance, Liu De was suspected of having a traitor at first, but when he checked it with stunts, there was no one in the hall who was Yang Zichuan, although some people's loyalty was only more than eighty, but this person's value was not betrayal.

Or are they other low-level generals?

But even if it is found, what should be said? Guo Zidong will definitely doubt the source of his news, and at that time, there will definitely be a gap in the alliance between the two families, which will be very unfavorable to both sides.

What should I do?

"Haha, General Liu, some people are worried, the city defense of Dongfu City is impregnable, and the soldiers of our army work together, how can Yang Zichuan take Dongfu?" Sure enough, Guo Zidong didn't care about Liu De's advice and laughed loudly.

When Liu De heard this, he was a little surprised, Guo Zidong was fighting for the dominance of the two armies, the two armies were originally allies, but Guo Zidong wanted Dongyu to follow his orders, so he refuted Liu De's suggestions mercilessly, which could highlight his own status.

If he agrees with his own suggestion, doesn't he say that Guo Zidong is incompetent?

Liu De's evaluation of Guo Zidong instantly weakened by three points.

It seems that some rumors are right, and Guo Zidong's ascension may be indispensable for his wife to give him advice.

Guo Zidong wants to use Dongyu, but why isn't Dongyu using him?

Liu De stopped talking.

Guo Zidong saw that Liu De was no longer squeaking, and secretly smug, and said: "Since no one objects, Fifth Leopard, you lead the soldiers and horses of your headquarters to go out of the city tomorrow to support Jinyang Pass." ”

The fifth leopard is listed as yes.

Guo Zidong smiled and clapped his hands, and the singer who had been waiting for a long time in the back waved her water sleeves and twisted her slender waist, and came to the hall, dancing to the music.

Guo Zidong raised the wine cup and said to Liu De: "General Liu, can you drink a glass?" ”

Liu De's face was as usual, and he raised the wine cup: "To General Guo!" ”

Guo Zidong glanced at Liu De, who was silent, and secretly made a decision in his heart, but he didn't show it at all, and laughed: "General Liu, please!" ”

......

When Guo Zidong returned to Guo's mansion, his wife Ma had been waiting for a long time, and Ma instructed his subordinates to prepare a change of clothes and washing utensils for Guo Zidong.

After Guo Zidong changed into his regular clothes, he sat on the chair opposite Guo Zidong and asked, "How is it?" ”

Guo Zidong told Ma what happened in the hall in detail, and Ma sighed after hearing it: "Husband, you are in a hurry!" Liu De said that there is a certain truth, Yang Zichuan must have a plan! ”

If it was a subordinate who refuted him, he would have been scolded by Guo Zidong a long time ago, but this person is his wife, if it wasn't for Ma's, maybe Guo Zidong would have become a dry bone in a mass grave, so Guo Zidong has a lot of respect for Ma's.

"What Liu De said is not unreasonable, but it is too dangerous, how can he capture Yang Zichuan's camp in half a month, I can't think of it at all. Although a certain strategy is more dangerous, but it is definitely the safest way, if you can't capture Yang Zichuan's camp within half a month, wait until the Beiping army breaks through Jinyang, none of us can run! ”

"In that case, it's better for the husband to be careful!" Ma didn't say much more.

"Madam, please rest assured!"

"I wonder what the husband thinks of this ally of ours?" Ma asked suddenly.

"If I don't get rid of this son, I can't feel at ease!" Guo Zidong expressed his worries, and only in front of Ma would he say something that was not enough for outsiders to say.

"This son's deterrence actually shocked General Guo?" Ma covered his mouth with a handkerchief and teased.

Guo Zidong didn't pay attention to Ma's ridicule, but said: "Liu De inherited his ancestral legacy, defeated the invading Hu people twice, and the people of Yanzhou have been suffering for a long time. The generals under his command are good at fighting and are loyal, and the elite of the soldiers is even more terrifying, which is the foundation of life; There are also several strategists who plan for it. With the hearts of the people, the army, and the talents of the countrymen, how not to be feared! ”

"And Liu De's son, it seems that he doesn't know martial arts, doesn't know politics, and is mediocre, but his courage is beyond others, and he has only seen it in his life."

"A certain decision, after defeating Yang Zichuan, I tried to kill Liu De to prevent future troubles!"

Guo Zidong made a gesture to wipe his neck, and seemed to have made up his mind.

"But now that the two armies are allies, if Liu De is killed, it will be criticized by the world, and Yu Fujun's reputation is not good, and Liu De's strength is not much different from ours, and even the elite of the soldiers is far better than our army, followed by two guards, then Dian Wei's martial arts will not need to be mentioned to you more by concubines! So how does Xianggong want to kill Liu De? ”

Ma Shi showed his resourcefulness to the fullest at this moment, analyzed the matter thoroughly, and was not weaker than some top strategists, worthy of the woman who helped Guo Zidong sit on the position of city lord.

Behind every successful man there is a woman who supports him silently, and this sentence is fully reflected in Guo Zidong!

"If you want to kill Liu De, there are many ways, using assassins is the lowest means, and the so-called elite soldiers also have methods to deal with them." Guo Zidong has long had a foolproof strategy.

"Come on, beckon [Swallow] to come!"

......

And Liu De is now also in a rather huge mansion, this mansion was specially arranged by Guo Zidong for Liu De, and the maids and servants are very complete.

even arranged a housekeeper, but Liu De returned it on the grounds that it was not easy to use, but the other maids and servants Liu De stayed, after all, cleaning the house, cooking and so on still need manpower.

Liu De's daily life is generally handed over to Dian Wei and Xu Hu, and Liu De is 100% at ease with them.

"Lord, I feel that Guo Zidong is quite insidious, let's be careful!" Peng Yue said.

Xu Shu also said: "Today's matter, the minister also saw some signs, the minister thinks that before defeating Yang Zichuan, there is no need to worry too much, but after defeating Yang Zichuan, it is better for the lord to be careful." ”

"There are few Dongfu generals who have the ability, but their tone is quite big, if it weren't for General Guan to stop me, I would have to poke them in a few holes!" Zhang Fei was a little annoyed, and there were no outsiders here, so he spoke casually.

Guan Yu stroked his long hair and said to Liu De: "This general under Guo Zidong, the head of the eight great generals [Pan Jinlong] is just a reckless man; The second [Kong Hu] can only be regarded as a fierce general, and now he has been seriously injured by Dong Zhen and is unconscious; The third is [Yan He], among these eight people, the resourcefulness, political strategy, and army command are all superior, and he is a rare general; The fourth [Gongye Sheep] is in charge of the Smelting Bureau, and the others don't know too much;

The fifth defender [Tian Ape] is quite stable and good at defense, but his spirituality is insufficient; The identity of the sixth is very well hidden, and he has not appeared in front of a certain person so far, and he doesn't know what he does or what he does, which is quite mysterious. The seventh [White Wolf], a certain general has never seen it, and he is quite murderous when he hears it; The eighth's [Fifth Leopard] is just a rather impulsive hairy boy! ”

Guan Yu didn't come to Dongfu City for long, but he had a half-thorough understanding of several important generals under Guo Zidong's command.

Of course, Guo Zidong's generals had collected before this, and even Liu De praised Yan He, which was quite similar to what Guan Yu said, among these people, Yan He's ability was the most comprehensive, and even Yan He's political ability could govern a county well, reaching 74, which was higher than Liu De's attributes under some of his subordinates, and Jian Yong was only 71.

Guan Yu is arrogant, it is already very rare to get a good evaluation of Guan Yu, except for Yan He, Guan Yu's evaluation of others is relatively low, and even Pan Jinlong's evaluation is actually an unwise and reckless man, which shows Guan Yu's disdain for him.

And Zhang Fei likes to drink, and when he was in the tavern, he had a conflict with Pan Jinlong, and he was dissuaded in time, otherwise Pan Jinlong might be beaten to death by Zhang Fei.

The person Zhang Fei said with a big tone is Pan Jinlong.
