"Hahahaha, Shiyuan, Zijing, they will all be their own brothers in the future, and the two gentlemen don't have to be polite anymore."

Yuan Yao laughed a few times to persuade the two of them to blow each other, and then said: "Sun Bofu has already retired from the army? He has made an appointment with his husband, when will my army be dispatched? ”

Lu Su replied: "The minister left three sergeants to monitor the retreat of the Jiangdong soldiers and horses, and when the Jiangdong soldiers and horses retreat, someone will come to report, Sun Bofu and the minister agreed to let the lord send troops to Tangyi within five days, and now there are still four days." ”

Yuan Yao lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "Four days is enough, Shiyuan, you immediately send someone to send an order to Li Siye, so that he can send troops to attack Dongyang County in three days. ”

Pang Tong bowed down and said, "No, the minister will receive the order, and he will send someone to pass the order later!" ”

"Well, the army will continue to rest here for the time being, and after the news of Sun Ce's army retreating comes, then the army will send out to Tangyi!" After Yuan Yao set the date for sending troops, he turned his head to look at Lu Su and said: "Mr. has made great contributions this time, you must not be rewarded, Mr. is resourceful, unparalleled in eloquence, quick in writing and thinking, and has a chapter in export. ”

The lord is thin, and the matter of holding the paperwork is a close minister who waits for the monarch, although he is lowly, but he is extremely powerful!

Lu Su was appointed by Yuan Yao as the master as soon as he came out, and he became Yuan Yao's confidant and courtier as he wished, and he was immediately overjoyed, bowed down and said: "I don't dare to ask for ears!" Chen Lusu greets the lord! ”

……

Yuzhou, Yingchuan County, Xudu, the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Han Dynasty.

Guo Jia hurriedly walked into Cao Cao's study, Cao Cao put down the paperwork in his hand, and said, "Filial piety is in a hurry, what happened?" ”

Guo Jia bowed and said: "Back to the lord, according to the news from Xuzhou, Yuan Yao has captured the four counties of Huainan in Xiapi County, Liu Bei sent his second brother Guan Yu to lead 20,000 troops to the Huaishui line to meet Yuan Yao, Guan Yu crossed the river at night and was attacked by Yuan Yao's army half-crossing, Guan Yu's defeat could only retreat to the north bank of Huaishui, and the two armies are still facing each other on the Huaishui line!" ”

"Has Yuan Yao really sent troops yet? Unexpectedly, even Guan Yu was defeated in the hands of Yuan Yao, if this person is not controlled, he will definitely be our great enemy in the future! Cao Cao pondered for a moment and continued to ask, "What is the situation in Jiangdong?" Did Sun Ce ever send troops? ”

Guo Jia replied: "According to the news from Jiangdong, Sun Ce was furious when he heard that Yuan Yao was appointed as the pastor of Yangzhou! At present, Jiangdong is secretly gathering troops and horses, and Sun Ce should have moved his mind to use troops against Yuan Yao! ”

Cao Cao continued to ask, "Has the news been confirmed?" ”

Guo Jia hesitated for a moment and replied: "These news were all obtained through the Jiangdong Shi clan, and they should be accurate!" ”

"Good! Liu Bei relied on Guan Yu and Zhang Fei the most, and now Guan Yu led the army south to Huaishui away from the area of Xiapicheng, which was like breaking Liu Bei's arm! If Sun Ce uses troops against Yuan Yao, Yangzhou will be able to settle down, which is really good! Cao Cao said this, turned his head to look at Guo Jia, and said: "Now that the fighter plane for Xuzhou has arrived, I don't know what good plan you have for Fengxiao?" ”

Guo Jia had already thought about this problem on the road, and said: "The soldiers are fast, and the minister thinks that the lord should immediately send troops to Xuzhou to attack Xiapi!" “

Yuan Yao didn't want to use troops against Xuzhou, it was the lord who lured him with the position of Yangzhou Mu, and he had four counties of Huailing to make money, so Yuan Yao sent troops to Xuzhou to attack Liu Bei. Although this move can make him suspicious of Yuan Shao, but Yuan Yao is cunning, after he captures the four counties of Huailing, he will definitely not continue to march and fight with Liu Bei's army again! Now that Yuan Yao has entered Huailing and attracted Guan Yu's troops and horses, this is already the best fighter he can create for the lord! ”

"Liu Bei knows that people will definitely be able to guess Yuan Yao's thoughts, he will definitely try to reach an agreement with Yuan Yao, and Sun Ce is very likely to use troops against Yuan Yao immediately, Yuan Yao will immediately lead the army back when he gets the military situation, and then Guan Yu's army can withdraw to Xiapi again, and if it is late, there will be changes, and please send troops immediately!"

Cao Cao nodded slightly, and responded: "Well, Feng Xiao is very worried, Liu Bei is hypocritical and cunning, and Yuan Yao is also a cunning person, the two of them are mixed together, and it is easy to produce variables!" Now that the time has come, we must decisively send troops, and we must not give Liu Bei the slightest chance! Pass my military order, the army is ready, and tomorrow the fourth watch will be ten times the army will set off and go straight to Xiapi! ”

"No, subordinate order!"

Cao Cao gave an order, and Cao Cao's army hidden near Xudu secretly assembled, and they were ready to send troops at night.

Early the next morning, Cao Cao ordered the clan generals Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan to lead 20,000 foot cavalry as the vanguard, and he commanded 80,000 foot cavalry, a total of 100,000 Cao troops left Xudu and went straight to Xuzhou to kill, most of Cao Cao's troops and horses were iron horses, and the marching speed was extremely fast, Cao Cao's army marched for two days and two nights, and finally arrived at the border of Xuzhou at noon on the third day.

When Cao Cao's army was marching, a sergeant suddenly came to report: "Lord, General Cao Ren and General Xiahou Yuan have sent good news, the two of them have captured Pengcheng through Xiao County, and after taking Lu County, they can directly attack Xiapi!" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, laughed a few times, and said, "Hahahaha, good!" If you capture Pengcheng, you can directly attack Xiapi, Zixiao and Miaocai really lived up to my high hopes! Quickly send someone to send an order to the two of them, so that they can quickly capture Lu County and open the passage to Xiapi! ”

"No!"

The sergeant was ordered to beat the horse and leave, and Cao Cao ordered again: "The whole army is speeding up, and we will rush to Pengcheng today, and we will set up camp in Pengcheng tonight!! ”

Cao Cao gave an order, and more than a dozen horsemen shouted loudly, beating their horses and heading towards the army:

"The lord has an order, the whole army is speeding up, and it will definitely rush to Pengcheng today, and set up camp there tonight!!"

"The lord has an order, the whole army is speeding up, and it will definitely rush to Pengcheng today, and set up camp there tonight!!"

"The lord has an order, the whole army is speeding up, and it will definitely rush to Pengcheng today, and set up camp there tonight!!"

……。

Cao Cao sat on the carriage and poked his head out to look at Guo Jia, who was waiting beside the carriage, and said: "Fengxiao, our army is weak, and we can come to the city within two days, what do you say Liu Bei is thinking about now?" ”

Guo Jia stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "Most of the soldiers under Liu Bei's command are the soldiers of our army, Liu Bei has not laid many soldiers and horses in the two counties in order to prevent the soldiers from escaping, General Cao Ren and General Xiahou led 20,000 cavalry to the city, and it is inevitable that these cities will surrender to the wind, and the minister estimates that Liu Bei should not have received the news that our army has been dispatched by now, right?" ”
