The generals gathered together, and after learning Yang Xiu's information, they immediately fell into a discussion, some advocated retreating to Yanzhou, ceding strategic depth, and dividing troops to support Jingzhou and Yuzhou, and some advocated making peace with Cao Cao, so that they could free up their hands and solve the trouble of their henchmen.

Everyone had their own opinions, and the discussion for a morning was fruitless.

At ten o'clock at noon, when Lu Bu and the others were still worried about how to solve the dangerous situation of Zhou Yu and Liu Bei, they suddenly received an urgent rush from Anyi.

Lu Bu hurriedly opened the letter, and when he saw the content of the letter, he couldn't help but take a cool breath.

The content of the letter is more sinister than everyone knows the military situation, not to mention Liu Bei and Zhou Yu who are ready to move, even Ma Chao in Chang'an, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, Wuhuan in the north, and Nanyue in the south.

The generals circulated the letter and learned of the current crisis, all of them were shocked and changed, only Tian Feng said calmly: "The princes of the Quartet are ready to move, and they will never be untargeted, someone must be secretly jointly operating, otherwise it would be so coincidental that they all chose this time to deploy troops." Since the princes were only temporary, they would not have been well prepared, and they came in such a hurry, thinking that most of them were just bluffing, and their intention was just to contain the prince's army and not dare to act rashly, and they could not attack the city and capture the land as they wanted. ”

Lu Budao: "Does the military advisor have a good strategy to break the enemy? ”

Tian Feng said: "Although the princes look aggressive, but they have their own difficulties, although Chang'an Ma Chao is strong, but he is just a warlike reckless man, the people under his rule are not living in ten rooms and nine empty, all the year round for next year's rations, he has already exhausted his sharp energy, he also has to rely on the annual grain and grass relief of the princes, how can he raise troops to attack?" Even if he comes, it will only be rootless water, so there is nothing to worry about. ”

"Although Liu Bei of Nanjun occupies the southern part of Jingzhou, the population is rich, and the grain and grass are abundant, but he has just taken the old land of Liu Biao, and his foothold is not stable, and he is afraid of Liu Qi and others to seize power and counterattack, and now it seems that the army is busy, but they are only going back and forth on the southern line of the Yangtze River, and they dare not lead the army out of the nest at all, and Jingzhou is prosperous, and he has long been coveted by Sun Quan of Jiangdong, how can he Liu Bei be unguarded?"

"After years of dormancy, Jiangdong Sun Quan is the most potential candidate among the many princes to become the opponent of the prince, but the Jiangdong soldiers are known for their water battles, and land warfare is not what Jiangdong soldiers are good at.

"Hanzhong Zhang Lu is just Liu Zhang's watchdog in Yizhou, Liu Zhang is mediocre and incompetent, and he is still flawless for self-preservation, how can Zhang Lu have the spare strength to make waves!"

"As for the Wuhuan and Nanyue and the like, they are just uncivilized barbarians, and it may be feasible to sneak attack a few small border towns, let them enter in a big way, and give them ten dares, they will not dare, and it will be difficult to do it."

"Therefore, although the princes seem to be menacing, they are nothing more than a rabble. The so-called bustle of the world is all for profit, these people just look at the opportunity to take advantage of, want to get a piece of the soup in the mouth of the elephant, the prince only needs a little profit, will be able to attract them to flock to it, the so-called siege on all sides, what a way! ”

Tian Feng's tirade made a long speech, which made the generals dumbfounded, and this seemingly dangerous situation became unworthy in his mouth.

Only Yang Xiu praised: "Wonderful, the prince has the Son of Heaven warrant, when Ma Chao can be allowed to capture Hanzhong and give him grain and grass, Ma Chao has an old friendship with the prince, he will be grateful to Dade, this is a plan to move the water eastward." After many years of operation by the Sun family, Jiangdong is already an iron plate, and is thinking of expanding outward, the prince can pass a decree to Sun Quan to seal the marquis fiefdom, so that he will be famous and expand to the south. When Zhou Yu uses troops to the south, it is inevitable that he will have a quarrel with Liu Bei, and the southern army will retreat without a fight, which is a plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf. Without these two strong enemy attacks, the Wuhuan in the north and the South in the south should not be worried. ”

Gongsun Kang said generously when he heard this: "Prime Minister rest assured, there is my Youzhou son in the north, and I will never let the Wuhuan rats set foot in the territory of my Han Dynasty for half a step." ”

Lu Bu nodded in approval, pondered for a moment and said: "The strategy of the military advisor is exquisite, but we must not stand under the dangerous wall, put our life and death in the hands of others, at this moment, when the two-pronged approach, you can pass on the holy decree, so that they can attack each other, and you can't delay the fighter in front of you, only by eliminating Cao Cao, the princes of the Quartet will be afraid, and the crisis will eliminate itself without a fight, and our army can also advance and retreat, and there will be no worries." As soon as Shouchun was broken, Jianye was in front of him, Zhou Yu's army was far away in Chaisang, and Sun Quan didn't dare to attack my henchmen again. ”

Everyone made a plan, summoned the Quartet at the moment, and acted according to the plan, and Lu Bu personally replied to Anyi, asking Sima Lang and others to pay close attention to Ma Chao's movements in Chang'an, and be sure to strictly abide by Hongnong and not give Ma Chao a chance. He also ordered Fancheng, Xinye and other places to guard Wang Ling, Cai Mao and others to strengthen the city defense and train soldiers in case of change.

In the face of the menacing army of Lu Bu, Cao Cao could not sleep day and night, and later Xun Yu offered a plan to unite the princes to attack Lu Bu, which was regarded as the only light by Cao Cao.

It's just that this kind of strategy takes time to plan, and it is by no means an overnight success, so Cao Cao set up a major army to block it in Xiyang and Xia Cai along the line, just to buy time for the joint plan to succeed.

But what he didn't expect was that Lu Bu captured more than a dozen counties on the north bank of the Huai River such as Xiyang and Xia Cai in just two days, leaving Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops left on the north bank of the Huai River to block the enemy.

Cao Cao knew that with only his remaining tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it would be impossible to block Lü Bu on the north bank of the Huai River, so he eagerly sent Dong Zhao to Lü Bu's camp, one was to find out whether Lü Bu's army had the strength to cross the river and attack the city, and the other was to deceive peace, in order to buy time for the united princes.

After days of worry, Cao Cao's head disease recurred, and he couldn't be at peace for two days.

On this day, Cao Cao had a strong headache, and suddenly heard that Dong Zhao, who had gone to Xia Cai to inquire about the truth, returned safely, and Cao Cao hurriedly announced him into the mansion and met him with illness.

Dong Zhao saw Cao Cao with a cold cotton towel wrapped around his head, to calm his headache, his face was haggard, where was there still a little bit of the former dominating bearing, and a common saying suddenly jumped out of his mind: The twilight of a strong man, the end of a hero.

Cao Cao endured his headache and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything to be gained from Gongren's visit?" ”

Dong Zhao turned around from his contemplation and said respectfully: "General Qiyu, Dong Zhao has failed to say and succeed in this trip, Lu Bu doesn't seem to care about his lost son, and he even said wildly, my army may inevitably fight." ”

Cao Cao gritted his teeth, took a few long breaths and said: "If it becomes a big thing, how can you care about these small sections, I didn't think that I would be able to say and succeed." How prepared are you going to find out in Lu Bu's army? ”

Dong Zhao said: "Lu Bu ran thousands of miles to attack, and most of the soldiers were cavalry, and it was extremely difficult to succeed in forcibly crossing the Huai River, and as far as I know, Lu Bu built ships for days, but only caused hundreds of simple rafts, which were not vulnerable to attack in front of our army's elite sailors." ”

At this time, Xun You, Xun Yu and others who rushed to hear the news entered the hall one after another.

Xun Yu sighed: "Although the Huai River is long, but it can only block Lu Bu for a while, when Lu Bu is ready, he will requisition civilian ships along the line for his own use, although our army has an elite naval army, but the number is too small, most of the generals are the same as Lu Bu's army, all are infantry cavalry from the north, in the face of the huge number of people, this advantage can almost be erased, Gongren is too conceited." ”

Cao Cao smashed his forehead hard, and said, "Do the princes have any response?" ”

Xun You said: "Although Liu Bei, Zhou Yu, Ma Chao and others agreed, they only dispatched troops in their respective stations, and they had no intention of sending troops to attack Lu Bu, they were all waiting for Ming Gong to move first, so they could take the opportunity to take advantage of it." ”

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and sneered a few times: "These rat-eyed people want to achieve great things, but they are afraid of wolves and tigers, and they just want to sit back and enjoy their success, I am really ashamed to be with them." ”

Xun You sighed: "This is also to blame others, their strength is not enough to fight against Lu Bu, naturally with Ming Gong as the head of the horse, Ming Gong does not move, how dare they move, as long as the war is together, those rats will naturally attack in groups, the so-called evil dogs smell the smell of minced meat, when they will not fall behind." ”

When the words fell, I saw that Cao Cao did not respond, only holding his head with both hands, slamming his forehead on the edge of the bed, and screaming in his mouth: "Give me a knife quickly, how different is this pain from hell!" ”

Everyone knew Cao Cao's stubborn illness, but they didn't dare to get close to appease, Cao Cao never forbade others to approach, especially when there was no resistance at all, countless attendants had already lost their lives because of concern.

It's just that Cao Cao's illness this time is even worse than in the past, the tragic situation is shocking, several attendants trembling forward, but they were kicked away by Cao Cao, who fell into madness, one after another, and even choked one person by the throat, pressed to the head of the bed, and hissed: "You want to kill my life!" ”

The attendant struggled for a long time, and gradually lost his breath, Cao Cao fell on the bed in despair, sweating profusely, panting and said: "Back then, Lu Bu's arrow caused me to have no peace for half of my life, and I will not be a person if I don't swear to avenge this revenge." ”

At this time, Cao Zhen, Cao Ren and others entered, and Cao Zhen bowed in front of Cao Cao and said: "Father, rest assured, my son has set up a heavy defense on the Huai River, and will never let Lu Bu set foot in Shouchun for half a step." Just now, I also caught a Lu Bu spy who came with Mr. Dong, and I came to ask my father to send him. ”

Cao Cao's pain subsided slightly, and his sanity regained a little clearer, and he said coldly: "Since you are a spy, you can kill it, and you will come to ask me what I have done." ”

Cao Zhen said: "This spy said that he was here to offer advice to his father, and the son didn't dare to be specialized, so he came to ask if his father had summoned him." ”

Cao Cao snorted coldly and said, "This is just a means used by Lu Bu to confuse our army, so shoddy, how can you be deceived by it?" dragged down and cut off the sacrificial flag. ”

Dong Zhao said on the side: "Why didn't the general summon this person, I went to Lu Bu's camp and found that Lu Bu's army was not monolithic, and the discord was just not known to outsiders." General Lu Bu saw Lu Bu as if he was a ghost, and Lu Bu was even more moody, and he couldn't say that this spy would bring us a little turnaround. ”

Xun Youqi said: "Why did Gongren say this? ”

Dong Zhao reported in detail what he had seen and heard in the Lu Bu Palace, saying how Lu Bu embarrassed the generals, and even almost beat Ding Xu, a close general, to death, and talked about the fear of the generals of Lu Bu, which made Cao Cao and others amazed again and again.

Cao Cao sat up with a strong spirit, leaned against the head of the bed and said, "Then I will send this spy in, I want to see what he has to say." ”

Not long after, a young man dressed as Cao Jun was escorted in by several guards, and the young man was tied up with five flowers, and as soon as he entered the house, he was pressed and knelt on the ground by the guards.

Cao Cao said in a loud voice: "Whoever comes, report the name." ”

The young man struggled hard, but after all, he couldn't get rid of the escort of the guards, so he could only half-lie on the ground, and said loudly: "I am Fu Yunzhong, the captain of the vanguard battalion of the Bingzhou Army, and I am subordinate to General Ding Xu's subordinates who have come to offer advice to General Cao, but why do you want to treat me like this." ”

Xun You sneered: "Offer? I think you're here to make a plan, right? ”

Fu Yunzhong said loudly: "My general Ding Xu followed Lu Bu to fight in the south and the north, and made countless achievements, he was one of the only three hundred cavalry left in the battle of Dong Zhuo in Luoyang City. This southern expedition was even more deliberately difficult for our general, so that he could build 1,000 warships in ten days. With such a military order, it is difficult for immortals to complete it, let alone mortals. My general was almost killed by Lu Bu because of this, and I am afraid that he will be even more feared by Lu Bu in the future. General Ding had long heard that General Cao was eager for talent, and was willing to command the only hundreds of warships and 8,000 sailors in Lü Bu's army to return to General Shun in order to escape Lü Bu's persecution. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he felt that the blood and qi in his brain were surging, and the previous headache disappeared without a trace, and he couldn't help but feel good, and said with a smile: "The erector has no plan, he wants to deceive Ben Shuai with a bitter plan, how dare Lu Bu despise me so much?" ”

Fu Yunzhong said loudly: "It turns out that General Cao is just a waste of fame, General Ding only has 8,000 sailors to surrender, the prime minister has tens of thousands of soldiers, and the generals are like clouds, are you afraid that we will not be able to surrender thousands of troops." ”

Cao Cao said angrily: "Presumptuous, drag this arrogant man full of lies down and behead him." ”

Xu Chu was outside the palace early, and when he heard the news, he immediately entered the palace, and he wanted to snatch Fu Yunzhong from the guards and go to execute him personally.

Dong Zhao suddenly asked: "You said that you came to surrender, and there is no basis for empty words, but there is a basis for trust?" ”

Fu Yunzhong said loudly: "I have a blood book written by General Ding himself in my arms, and there are also the handprints of my eight thousand sailors, if the general doesn't believe it, you can take it down and check it." ”

Under Cao Cao's nod, Xu Chu personally took out a roll of brocade cloth from Fu Yunzhong's arms, which was stained with blood and written with countless big characters, the meaning of which was consistent with Fu Yunzhong's words. In the blank space, there are even densely packed countless finger blood marks, which unfold and exude a strong bloody atmosphere.

In the letter, it was agreed that three days later, Ding Xu would personally lead 8,000 sailors and hundreds of Lu Bu's only warships to surrender, hoping that Cao Cao would be able to accept the surrender of everyone in Anfengjin.

Cao Cao's eyes flowed with brilliance, he walked to Fu Yunzhong's side, personally untied his body for him, and said in a deep voice: "In three days, I will personally lead the army to welcome General Ding's surrender in Anfengjin, I only hope that you will not disappoint me." ”

Fu Yunzhong said goodbye with joy.

Cao Cao looked at Fu Yunzhong's distant back, but Wen Xunyu said anxiously: "Why is Ming Gong gullible, this is obviously Lu Bu's bitter plan, if they are allowed to surrender, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles." ”

Cao Cao didn't look back, and said coldly: "Of course I know, the road is one foot high and the demon is one foot high, and I just want to plan and eat Lu Bu's eight thousand sailors first." ”
