This is already the border of Xuzhou.

"You've really decided?" Zhang Feng leaned on the hillside and asked the jade tapir beside him.

"Hmm."

This was Jade Tapir's final decision, and he still followed Zhang Feng.

It's not that Zhang Feng is convincing, it's just that Jade Tapir knows in his heart that if he wants to avenge his mother, he can only mix with Yefeng again.

"In front is Yuan Shujun's camp." Zhang Feng pointed to the big camp not far away.

"Let's go." Jade Tapir nodded.

The task Duan Xuan gave him this time was just to figure out Yuan Shujun's movements.

But through the incident of Xiao Pei last time, Zhang Feng vaguely felt that Yuan Shu alone was not enough to deal with Lu Bu.

Driven by hatred, he decided to meet Yuan Shu.

After all, he had appeared once before, and Yuan Shu should still recognize himself.

……

"Report! There are two people outside the camp who claim to be the lord's deceased. ”

"Oh? Let him in. ”

For Yuan Shu, who is a famous family, there is no difference between "old people" and "passers-by", and there are some people who claim to be old people, and Yuan Shu is actually a little disgusted by this word.

After a while, Zhang Feng and Jade Tapir walked in, accompanied by soldiers.

"Hehe, General Yuan, don't come unharmed."

Yuan Shu looked Zhang Feng up and down. After all, Zhang Feng has changed a little, and with the lack of an arm, although Yuan Shu looks vaguely familiar, he can't remember it.

"Your Excellency is ......"

This idiot really doesn't remember! Zhang Feng scolded in his heart, but he still tried to keep a smile on his face.

"It's been too long, no wonder the general doesn't remember, when Lu Bu passed through here before, I advised the general not to take him in."

"Oh!" Yuan Shu really reacted at this time, "It turned out to be Zhang Yishi." Come on, come on, sit down and talk. ”

"General Xie." Zhang Feng arched his hand and sat down with the jade tapir.

"I don't know what Zhang Yishi has to teach this time?"

Lu Bu sent Han Yin to sever the secret alliance, and Yuan Shu was angry, so he had a good impression of Zhang Feng who had admonished him before.

"Don't dare. It's just that I heard that the general was about to crusade against Lu Bu, so he came to say more. ”

Zhang Yishi said bluntly.

"Dare to ask the general, how many soldiers and horses were used this time?"

"I command 30,000 Chinese troops, and Ji Ling, Qiao Rui and other generals are divided into four routes, each commanding 10,000 troops, a total of 70,000 horses."

"Does the general know how many soldiers and horses Lu Bu has?"

"Although the exact number is unknown, it is estimated that there are up to 10,000."

"Hehe, in fact, he doesn't even have 10,000 soldiers who can fight. Those newly recruited soldiers are no different from the common people, and they are only full of them when they go to the battlefield. ”

What does that righteous man mean...... I'm running out of troops? ”

"No, it's a pity."

"Huh? What does this mean? ”

"General Yuan, please forgive me for being rude. But to be honest, the general's combat power is slightly inferior to that of Lu Bu, and his subordinates Gao Shun's Trap Camp, Cao Xing's Divine Bow Battalion, and Wei Xuchenglian's Wolf Cavalry Battalion are all extraordinary. It is the infantry, and it is also the elite who has experienced many wars. Although the generals and soldiers are brave, they lack experience. Therefore, even if this battle is won, the general will inevitably lose 20,000 or 30,000 horses. ”

Zhang Feng didn't say anything too ugly, because he knew very well in his heart that with Chen Gong's strategy, even if the 70,000 army was victorious, the rest would not exceed 20,000 at most.

After Dinghe Shouchun, Yuan Shu basically did not experience any major battles, and the combat strength of his subordinates ...... Alas.

"Hmm......" Yuan Shu fell into thought, but he thought that when Zhang Feng calculated, he just added the factor of unfamiliarity with the terrain.

Yuan Shu has always believed that his soldiers and horses are invincible in the world, and in his opinion, this time he will not lose at most three thousand.

"What is the opinion of that righteous man?" After all, Zhang Feng had helped himself, and even if Yuan Shu was arrogant, he would give him some face.

"Does the general know that there is now a group of soldiers and horses wandering outside Xuzhou?"

"Yang Feng?" Although Yuan Shu is not strategic, he is also a prince, and he is still clear about the turmoil in his territory.

"Yes," Zhang Feng continued, "after he was defeated by Cao Cao, he wanted to enter Xuzhou to plunder, but was defeated by Lu Bu, so he has been wandering outside. If the general can accept it and make it the vanguard, and the general will lead the army later, it is the best policy. ”

"How?"

"If he wins, where the general's army is, he doesn't dare to make a mistake, then he will occupy Xuzhou and add troops and horses; Even if the general wants to withdraw the army, he can also use it as a left-behind soldier. The general only needs to supply a little food and grass, so that he can have more minions to guard the door, why not? ”

Zhang Feng didn't say that the latter was a strategy to retreat, because he was afraid of stimulating Yuan Shu's vanity.

Seeing that Yuan Shu was still thinking, Zhang Feng took a step forward and said, "If the general believes me, I am willing to persuade Yang Feng for the general." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Feng's enthusiasm surprised Yuan Shu a little, "I naturally believe in Zhang Yishi, but why is Zhang Yishi willing to help me many times?" ”

It seems that this Yuan Shu is also a bit scheming.

"Yu Gong, the Yuan family is a famous family, and he Lu Bu is just a capricious person, how can he let such chaotic ministers and thieves occupy Xuzhou. Yu privately ......" Zhang Feng smiled and touched his empty sleeve, "This is thanks to him Lu Bu, a manly man, how can he not revenge if he has a vengeance?" ”

Even though the first half of the sentence was a lie, Yuan Shu believed it. He has always been proud of his background.

"Then Yuan will thank Zhang Yishi first." Yuan Shu also laughed.

……

Zhang Feng and Jade Tapir left Yuan Shu's camp and walked a long way before stopping.

"You can go and see Yuan Shu by yourself, why do you need me to accompany you?" Jade Tapir complained a little, for him, this kind of false meeting was too uncomfortable.

"Honestly? I can't believe Yuan Shu, you should have noticed it, in fact, there have been swords and axes in ambush outside the tent. This Yuan Shu is narrow-minded, and he must be wary of anyone. ”

"Hehe, and talk about him, I think you are the same." Jade Tapir scoffed.

Zhang Feng did not deny it, maybe this is the first thing to survive in the troubled times.

"Do you know where Yang Feng's soldiers and horses are now?"

"I don't know."

"What?! Then why don't you ......" Speaking of this, the jade tapir stopped.

He finally understood why Zhang Feng wanted to let him accompany him on this journey, because if he wanted to know any news, he had to contact the members of the night blade from all over the world. But he, Zhang Feng, was afraid that the moment he showed up, he would be hacked to death with a knife.

"You want me to come because you want to be my eyes and ears." Jade Tapir looked at Zhang Feng with some disdain.

"That's just one of them. Second, I'm half a cripple now, and it's better to be protected by multiple people. ”

"Whew!"

————————————————

Xuzhou, Pengcheng.

In the inn, Huan Qi was helping Duan Xuan wipe his face, while the latter kept gritting his teeth and inhaling.

Prudent people must have negligence, Duan Xuan did not ask Ling Yuan about the dosage of this application.

As a result, his face was so swollen that he didn't even recognize Huan Qi, but fortunately, he used the token to prove his identity, otherwise Huan Qi would have drawn his sword a long time ago.

The poison that Ling Yuan gave him, although Zhang Feng used the same recipe last time, was not the same material.

When Ling Yuan finally left the main hall, he didn't bring out too much medicinal powder.

What Zhang Feng used was only the last remaining point. As for what she gave to Duan Xuan, she actually collected various materials near the deserted village and re-grinded them.

The effect of the potion made with the existing utensils is naturally uncontrollable, not to mention that some of the ingredients Ling Yuan just took similar materials.

Duan Xuan was in pain, but he felt that the hand that wiped his face trembled a little.

When he raised his head, he noticed that Huan Qi had been laughing.

Duan Xuan wanted to open his mouth to reprimand her, but this force made his face hurt hotly.

"Oops~"

"Hahahaha~" Huan Qi couldn't hold back any longer, threw the handkerchief on Duan Xuan's face, squatted down and covered his stomach and laughed.

"Alas~" The cheeks were also a little swollen, causing Duan Xuan's voice to be a little strange, "Stinky girl, is it so ridiculous?" ”

"Hahaha~" Huan Qi heard Duan Xuan's voice and laughed even louder.

"Alright, be quiet, get down to business."

"Oh." Huan Qi pulled his cheeks with his hands, trying to make himself look like he wasn't smiling.

"I will help you gain Hou Cheng's trust, and after that, I will act according to the plan."

……

After a few days of lurking, Duan Xuan probably figured out the law of the rotation of guards in the city, and Hou Cheng should go back to his residence to rest today.

So, Duan Xuan sneaked to the vicinity in advance to prepare.

The biggest thing about each time is that the spider silk has to be arranged in advance, and it has to be recycled when it is withdrawn.

Even the spider silk wall that ambushed Lu Bu last time, Duan Xuan also pulled it out before leaving.

He is proficient in this technique, and he only needs to control a key spider silk in his hand, and release this spider silk when he needs to take it back.

……

Although it was the day of replacement, Hou Cheng still came back late.

Now in this city, Zhang Liao handles government affairs, Zang Ba is responsible for patrolling, and the baggage and food are all managed by Hou Cheng.

After arranging tomorrow's affairs, Hou Cheng came back a little tired.

Although he is also a general in the city, he is not the boss after all, and naturally no one accompanies him.

When he arrived at the door of his residence, Hou Cheng suddenly noticed that there was someone behind him.

He hurriedly grasped the hilt of his sword and shifted two steps to the left, turning around at the same time.

There, there was indeed a person, but his back was to the moonlight, and he couldn't see the man's face clearly.

"Who are you?"

"How is General Hou doing recently?"

"Ahh When Hou Cheng heard this voice, he immediately understood who the enemy he was facing was - Duan Xuan.

He quickly drew his sword and rushed forward, slashing straight at the top of Duan Xuan's head.

Duan Xuan waved his hand forward, and at the same time, his body retreated.

Hou Cheng immediately realized that it was not good, so he hurriedly stopped, and retreated sharply with the force under his feet.

has fought against this person many times, and Lu Bu's entire army already knows about his spider silk.

Sure enough, although he couldn't see clearly with the naked eye, he could accurately hear something twitching the ground.

"You thief, what a poisonous plan you came to Pengcheng again!"

"Hehe, General Hou is too careful. I'm just here to take your head. ”

"Arrogance!" Hou Cheng was furious, but he did not attack recklessly, but cautiously observed Duan Xuan's actions.

Duan Xuan had to admire, the generals of Lu Bu's army were indeed experienced in a hundred battles, and it was rare for them not to panic in front of the enemy.

However, he must make Hou Cheng feel the danger in order for the next plan to go smoothly.
