After the banquet begins, all kinds of delicacies come up.

Cao Cao's civil and military officers all ate with relish. Push the cup and change the lamp, so lively.

However, for Lu Bu, Xu Shu, and Liu Bowen, they couldn't arouse any interest, because when they were in Shouchun, they had already tasted the food of the times, and now these are too backward.

The three of them looked disgusted, and they casually dealt with two bites, and then didn't eat any more.

Next.

As soon as the sky was bright, Lu Bu was still lying in the quilt, hugging Mu Guiying, enjoying the best moment of his life.

Cao Cao sent someone to the school and asked Lu Bu to discuss the matter.

"General Lü, there is news from Che Xuan that there are 50,000 Turkic cavalry entering the territory of Hanyang. The prime minister wants to send troops to the rescue, so he asks the general to come over to the palace to discuss matters. Xun You stood outside the tent and said.

"Gongda, are you mistaken, it's not dawn yet, let Cao Cao decide for himself." Lu Bu was impatient.

"General Lu..."

Lu Bu shouted: "Is there a guard outside who is keeping vigil to pull Xun You away." ”

"Let's go...!" There were four soldiers who were keeping vigil outside the tent, and after hearing Lu Bu's order, they unceremoniously drove Xun You away.

Xun You had no choice but to retreat.

"Why doesn't the husband go to the meeting?" Mu Guiying woke up.

Lu Budao: "Cao Cao is afraid that he has forgotten that the condition for me to come to Xiliang to help in the war is that the two armies are fighting separately, he doesn't have to listen to me, and I don't have to listen to him." In that case, what else is being discussed? Could it be that Hanyang is in danger and wants me to send troops to rescue it? What a joke. ”

Mu Guiying smiled: "If the husband doesn't participate in the deliberations, won't Cao Cao be angry?" ”

"He's angry? I'm still angry! ”

"According to me, I'd better send someone there..."

"There's no need." Lu Budao: "If I send someone, Cao Cao will definitely invite me to garrison Hanyang, what should I do?" Is it a promise? Or don't say yes? What annoys me the most is to fight in a step-by-step manner, and when the enemy attacks, do I have to defend the city? Besides, Hanyang is not my city, why should I defend it? Therefore, the matter of guarding Hanyang should be handed over to Cao Cao, let's rest well, discuss the strategy of marching, and inflict heavy losses on foreign clans. ”

"Okay, listen to my husband." Mu Guiying no longer persuaded him.

The two hugged each other and slept back...

Xun You returned to the Wannian County Government and reported to Cao Cao: "Lu Bu refused to attend the meeting. ”

"I expected that..."

Cao Cao lost his mind for a while, raised his head and said, "Gongda, please sit down, let's discuss first, and then tell Lu Bu the result after the discussion." ”

"No."

Xun You sat next to Guo Jia.

There are also Cao Ren, Xu Chu, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun and so on.

Cao Cao said: "The situation in Xiliang is very critical now. Jincheng, Longxi, and Wuwei fell one after another, and the entire Xiliang was left with Hanyang County. The leader of the Southern Turks, Ashina Tugu, personally led 50,000 iron horsemen to kill Hanyang. If we want to hold Hanyang, we will have to send a large army to help, but our soldiers and horses, all of whom have just been recruited and have not yet completed their training, can we defeat 50,000 Turkic cavalry? ”

Cao Cao had no bottom in his heart.

Xun You said: "The surname Ashina is the most honorable surname of the Southern and Northern Turks, not only in the Southern Turks, with absolute military power, but also in the Northern Turks, it also has a high prestige. If we fail to defeat the Southern Turks, or if the war is stalemate, the Northern Turks will definitely join the war. The situation will be more critical then. Therefore, the battle with Ashina Sudden Bone must be completely won. ”

"Gongda's words are exactly what I want. If you don't fight, you will win! Guo Jia said.

Cao Cao also understood this truth, but the problem was that the 200,000 recruits in Chang'an lacked the ability to fight in the field, and the tiger and leopard cavalry, dragon battalion, and tiger guards brought from Xu Du were small in number, and they were embarrassed by the heavy task.

In this case, how can he defeat the 50,000 iron horsemen of Ashina's sudden bones?

Cao Cao asked: "Gongda, Fengxiao, can there be a strategy to defend against the enemy?" ”

"The minister suggested that he immediately open and go to Hanyang County, relying on the terrain to lure him into annihilation. Even if you can't win quickly, you must rush to get ahead of the enemy's reinforcements and inflict heavy damage on the iron cavalry of Ashina's bones. After Xun You finished speaking, he hugged his fists and said: "The minister is willing to lead 100,000 troops to go, please ask the prime minister for permission." ”

The generals in the hall all asked for battle.

As the commander of the 200,000-strong army, Cao Ren was not far behind, and hugged his fists and said: "The last general is willing to go with Mr. Gongda." ”

Cao Cao stood up and looked at the map behind him.

Judging from the topography of Hanyang County, it is indeed suitable for ambushes, and if the mountain is used properly, it is likely to defeat the Ashina Tubone. But Xun You and Cao Ren went, and Cao Cao was very uneasy.

"Prime Minister, what do you think?"

"How could I not be involved in such an important battle?"

Cao Cao cast a look at Guo Jia, and after Guo Jia nodded, he replied: "I have decided to personally lead the army to Hanyang County and fight to the death with Ashina's sudden bones." No matter how powerful Ashina's cavalry is, you must make up your mind to destroy him at all costs! ”

"The specific battle plan will be formulated after the Hanyang County is governed, and now the three armies will be ordered, tomorrow the third watch will make rice, and the fifth watch will set off and go straight to Hanyang!"

"No."

The congregation will answer.

"Prime Minister, do you need to tell Lu Bu to act with us?" Xun You asked.

"Lu Bu has long said that when fighting against foreign races, the two armies fight separately. Even if he was told the strategic intentions of our army, he might not be willing to act together. Cao Cao hesitated for a moment and said, "Gongda, you should go back to Lu Bu's army, and convey the combat intentions of our army to avoid the two armies from making conflicts." The second is to monitor and report to me on the situation of Lu Jun. ”

"Obedience."

Xun You replied.

Early the next morning.

Cao Cao personally led 230,000 troops to Hanyang.

Guo Jia, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, and Le Jin accompanied the expedition.

Yu Ban was stationed in Chang'an.

Xun You found Lu Bu and explained why he wanted to stay in Lu Bu's army.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "What Cao Cao means... Let you spy on me? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare. The prime minister's purpose in calling me here is to convey our army's operational intentions and prevent conflicting decisions. Xun Yu replied.

"Is it to convey Cao Jun's combat intentions? Or to convey the operational intentions of our army? ”

Hearing Lu Bu's question, Xun You was very puzzled and said, "This... Is there any difference? ”

Lu Budao: "Of course it's different. If you give me Cao Cao's combat intentions, I will gladly accept it. But you will never be allowed to pass on the combat intentions of our army to Cao Cao. Otherwise, it's a spy. Do you know what happened to the spies? ”

"It's... Isn't it normal for the two militaries to cooperate and exchange information? Xun You was a little confused.

Xu Shu and Liu Bowen both laughed.

Xu Shu said: "Lord, don't scare Gongda, there's nothing wrong with exchanging news." ”

"yes."

Xun You hurriedly nodded.

Lu Bu said: "I'm not scaring him. It's about getting down to business! ”

"Gongda, I'll tell you again. If you want to stay in our army, you can't do it. But you are not allowed to divulge any secrets, otherwise I will be caught, and I will not be lightly coquettish. All you have to do is witness how I defeated the aliens. Tell Cao Cao again, prepare the food and salary, don't delay it again and again. If I run out of food, I might go back and beat him. ”

The corners of Xun You's mouth twitched, and he responded: "Yes, there will never be no food." ”
