In Changshan County, which is adjacent to Jizhou and Bingzhou, there are now two legions fighting, one is the army led by Zhang Hegaolan, and the other is the army of Xu Shu on the defending side. Because of the continuous war, Changshan County seems to be very depressed.

Even on the street at this moment, the crowd of people walking is bustling, there are not few, but around a huge house, it presents a different scene, there are two sentries standing guard in front of the door of this house, it looks quite energetic, if ordinary people pass by, they must think that this is estimated to be the residence of a dignitary, and there are still people standing guard.

However, there were many people like this in the feudal period. Nothing is unusual. However, if these people stop and observe carefully, they will find that there seems to be something really different about this house, not only are there two guards standing at the door, but there are even many people on the big trees and corners next to them, paying attention to the situation here, even a few beggars on the side of the street seem to be begging, but their eyes are always staring at this big mansion, as if there is something remarkable in this big mansion.

And at this moment, in this big mansion, there seem to be a lot of people walking, but it seems unusually quiet, even quiet is a little scary, these people who are coming and going, they are all holding the rice paper made by Cao Xing, they are constantly coming and going in each room, their expressions are unusually solemn, it is obvious that they are specially trained soldiers.

And at the moment. In the middle of this courtyard, that is, in the largest house, a middle-aged man about forty years old was sitting upright on the main seat, and he was watching the people below busy, while drinking tea lightly.

At this moment, a person who looked like an officer walked into it, and then came to the middle-aged man's front and reported: "Lord Commander, according to your instructions, we have sent people to harass Cao Xuan many times in order to distract Cao Xing's attention, but in the last assassination, Cao Xuan was too cautious, and we still haven't succeeded!" ”

Xu You gently tapped his chair with his hand, and said lightly while drinking tea: "I have specifically understood Cao Xing, who was born in a humble manner, rose in Qianmo, has no power and no power in this world, but can do tens of thousands of mercenaries, master and merge states, this person should not be underestimated, and if he just relies on this little trick, it is enough to kill him, and it is estimated that he will not be able to go today!" ”

After listening to Xu You's words, the general was silent for a moment, and then asked again: "Your Excellency, what should we do with that soldier's family?" Suicide or release! ”

Xu You raised his eyebrows, and then said: "The rest is only his brother-in-law, his sister, and his little nephew, what kind of waves can these three people make, let them go, so as not to say that I Xu You killed innocents indiscriminately, and when the time comes, this account is estimated to be recorded on the head of the lord, indeed hehe......" Xu You didn't continue to say this, just took a sip of tea.

And the general asked again: "Lord Commander, now that the Lord has sent us here, it is just to deal with Cao Xing, but Cao Xuan is now about to enter his realm, what should we do next!" ”

Xu You put down the teacup in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Fighting in front of us is not our profession, we just need to sit in the rear, constantly harass Cao Xing, and cause a series of difficulties for him, as for whether this war is won or not, it is not something we can manage!" ”

After hearing this, the general seemed to be a little hesitant, he glanced at Xu You, and then said: "Lord Commander, this seems to be a little bad, the lord specially explained to us before he came, he has been very angry with Cao Xing, and the task he gave us is to assist General Zhang Hegaolan, give Cao Xuan a hard blow, and seize his city if he has the opportunity, so that Cao Xing can have a good long memory, so that he can ......"

However, before the general finished speaking, he remembered with a snap, and directly interrupted the general's words, only to see Xu Yu on the main seat, and there was some anger in his eyes at the moment.

"The lord, the lord, the lord is absolutely right, I told him a long time ago, Gongsun Chan controls Youzhou, the time is too long, and there is the support of the family, his power in Youzhou can be said to be deep-rooted, all the families support him, and this Gongsun Chan is also a ruthless man, perennial in the north and Karasuma fighting, practiced the ability to lead troops, I have long warned the lord, if it is a hard confrontation with it, will not get much benefit, the best way is to lure the enemy out, as long as he is killed, The Youzhou army has no leader, and everything will be solved when the time comes! ”

"However, for my suggestion, the lord hesitated again and again, and finally listened to the advice of Guo Tu Fengji's two bastards, what kind of troops to arrange, what kind of formation, and the result was like this in one fight!"

"It is precisely because of the tight war ahead, so Cao Xing's guy dares to drive in with soldiers and horses to harass everywhere, if this matter spreads, it will be a joke, a big joke, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses are rampant in my Jizhou, what is this called!"

Seeing that Xu You was already angry at the moment, the general also stood at the bottom and didn't dare to squeak, and finally waited for Xu You to vent and feel a little better, and then the general dared to speak again.

"Lord Commander, although we say so, we can't let the current situation go unpunished!"

What the general said was also reasonable, at least out of public intentions, so after pondering for a while, Xu You finally said: "Don't worry, I will give the lord a letter later, Chen Ming is very powerful, let the lord directly take my suggestion, and arrest that guy from Gongsun Zhan, and this matter is indispensable, so it must be successful in one blow!" ”

"As for Cao Xing's side, I have made it very clear before, although General Zhang Hegaolan has some hardships in the front, but they are bitter, and Cao Xing is definitely not much better, because he has no breakthrough point at all, you will send someone to tell them the two generals later, let them fight steadily, and Cao Xing will be consumed in front of them, so that Cao Xing will not advance an inch, and I will launch some harassment on Cao Xing from time to time, so that Cao Xing will be difficult to take care of, but you also have to tell the two generals, let them remember, If you don't have a good fighter, you must not rush in easily, and even if you do, you must notify me! After all, I have also observed that the young man named Xu Shu is quite difficult to deal with, and I am worried that the two generals will fall for his scheme! ”

Xu You's plan can also be said to be very thoughtful, and after listening to it, the general retreated.

And at this moment, Cao Xuan and the others finally passed through the territory of Jizhou and came to Bingzhou, Cao Xing immediately stepped into Yanmen County, because under Yanmen County is Changshan County, and now Xu Shu's army is stationed here.

In the past month and a half, Cao Xing's walk can be described as a bump, after all, Xu You's guy has caused him a lot of trouble.

Perhaps a little fortunate is that after a month and a half, Zhang Ji has been constantly mixing potions for Cao Xing, so now the injury on Cao Xing's leg has improved greatly, at least now he can walk on crutches.

When he came to Cao Xuan in Yanmen County, he immediately made peace with Xu Shu, and Cao Xuan entered Xu Shu's military camp. And Xu Shu saw Cao Xing, it was also very emotional, Cao Shu patted Xu Shu on the shoulder, Xu Shu had no experience in commanding troops before, but Cao Shu tried his best to let him lead the army, although Xu Shu fought a few beautiful big victories, but then again. After all, Xu Shu is still young, and leading the army is also tired, so the two most obvious characteristics of Xu Shu today are that he is dark and thin.

"Yuan Zhi, this time has really worked hard for you!"

Xu Shu smiled bitterly: "Lord, I'm a lot more relaxed when you come, after all, Zhang Hegao and the two of them are by no means ordinary people, and I fought with them, and I also had a headache!" ”

"Lord, I have prepared a banquet in the big tent, let me pick up the wind and wash the dust for you!" Xu Shu looked at Cao Xing and Chen Hu and the others and said.

However, Cao Xing waved his hand: "The war ahead is tight, so there is no need to be so extravagant and wasteful, I am here to fight, not to play, so these etiquettes will be waived!" ”

Cao Xing's spirit of hard work and simplicity made Xu Shu, Chen Hu and others feel a lot in their hearts.

Since Cao Xuan is like this, then Xu Shu has nothing to say, Cao Xuan wants to fight, so you can start now, Xu Shu led Cao Xuan and Chen Hu into the big tent in the army, and a huge sand table has been placed in the middle.

The sand table has been filled with countless flags, all of which are arranged by our and the enemy's forces.

Xu Shu pointed to the sand table and introduced Cao Xing and the others one by one: "Our army is stationed on the border line between Yanmen County and Changshan County, and the military camp of Zhang Hegaolan is completely opposite, and now the lord you have brought more than 10,000 people, and the available force in our hands is about 23,000 people, and the troops brought by Zhang Hegaolan on the other side are about 30,000 people!" ”

"When I first fought with the two of them, I used Zhang He and Gao Lan's carelessness to smash the two of them and win a battle, but since then, the two of them have gradually become cautious, I can't find a favorable fighter, and our two sides have basically been tentative exchanges during this time, and there have been no large-scale battles, so there is some stalemate on the battlefield at the moment!"

Xu Shu's information and analysis are all in place, and Cao Xing Chen Hu nodded after hearing it. The current situation is that others can't get in, but Cao Xing can't beat them either. If it was placed in the past, Cao Xing felt that it didn't matter, but now it is different from the past.
