"No."

Xun You returned to the outside of the city.

Convey Cao Cao's meaning.

Xiang Yu and Gao Shun were puzzled: "Why wait for five days?" ”

"Because King Wei had a head attack and needed to recuperate. When the king of Wei woke up, he immediately replied to the two generals. Xun Yu was in a hurry and thought of a reason.

Everyone in the world knows that Cao Cao has a head disease and may have an attack at any time.

Xun You used this as a reason, but it is reasonable.

Gao Shun glanced at Xiang Yu, reached a consensus with Xiang Yu, and said, "Since King Wei is in poor health, I will talk about this matter another day." Our army is stationed five miles away, waiting for your reply. ”

"Okay..."

Xun You saw Gao Shun and Xiang Yu leave, and he was really relieved.

At this time, it was in Yangzhou Shouchun.

Military Aircraft Division.

Lü Bu met with Hua Xin, an envoy sent by Cao Cao.

Hua Xin handed over Cao Cao's handwritten letter and said: "Before, our people negotiated with the Lord of the Ministry of Rites and used 10,000 stone of grain to redeem Sima Yi, the son of the Sima family in Hanoi County. It was later learned that General Lü did not agree and sent a large army to chase after him. The king of Wei sent his ministers down to explain to General Lü that Sima Yi was a person valued by General Lü and that the court would never fight for it. The 10,000 stone of grain does not need to be returned, it should be to make amends to General Lu. ”

Hua Xin's posture was very low, just like Lu Bu's subordinates.

After reading the letter, Lu Bu smiled and said, "I am really pleased that Cao Mengde can focus on the overall situation. Please go back and tell him that Sima Yi is useful to me and cannot be given to him. After seeing Sima Yi, be sure to send it to Shouchun City. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty will definitely convey it."

Hua Xin glanced at Lu Bu and said, "General Lu, there is one more trivial matter..." ”

"Huada, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Lu Bu put down the letter.

Hua Xin said: "The soldiers and horses of General Xiang Yu and General Gao Shun are stationed outside the city of Xudu. While there's nothing wrong with that, but... I am afraid that our troops will be close to each other, and some unpleasant things will happen that will affect the relations between the two sides. Please ask General Lu to give an order to transfer them out of Xudu. ”

"This..."

Lu Bu pretended to think about it and said in embarrassment: "Huada people don't know anything. will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected. Xiang Yu and Gao Shun are thousands of miles away, and I am afraid that they will not obey my dispatch. ”

"General Lu said with a smile, how could they..."

"Huada."

Lu Bu stood up and said, "I still have some things, so I won't accompany you." Leave it to yourself. ”

"General Lu, General Lu... What about the withdrawal? Hua Xin hurriedly stepped forward.

Lu Bu ignored him and quickly left the main hall.

Hua Xin wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Li Junxian: "Master Hua, please go back." ”

"Yes..."

Hua Xin glanced at the back of Lu Bu leaving, and saw that the soldiers were blocking the way, so he had to retreat first, and said to Li Junxian: "Please tell General Lu that I will wait in the post house for three days." If General Lu changes his mind, Wanwang will summon me. ”

"Okay."

Li Junxian answered and ordered the soldiers to send Hua Xin away.

"Why didn't the lord recall Xiang Yu and Gao Shun? Let them continue to stay in Xudu, for fear that they will provoke a war and be detrimental to the overall situation. In the back room, Chen Gong and Jia Xu sat upright to deal with official business.

Lu Bu found a place to sit down and chuckled, "Because before Hua Xin came, I received a message from the shadows. Xiang Yu and Gao Shun are blackmailing Cao Cao. Cao Cao did not dare to be my enemy, and repeatedly retreated. ”

"I guess... When Xiang Yu and Gao Shun come back, they can bring back tens of thousands of stone grains. ”

"What? Blackmail Cao Cao?! ”

Chen Gong and Jia Xu were dumbfounded together.

"yes, I didn't expect that, right?" Lu Brown laughed.

Chen Gong reacted and said with a solemn expression: "Lord, Cao Cao is not a good bully, if you let Xiang Yu and Gao Shun go deep into the enemy territory, you are not afraid of being wiped out by Cao Cao?" Let's call them back. ”

"Does Cao Cao have that guts?"

Lu Bu said with a disdainful expression: "His army is all in Hanzhong, inside and outside the Guan, and there are less than 100,000 troops in the Central Plains. Dare to fight Xiang Yu and Gao Shun? Besides, it's not that Cao Cao doesn't know my temper, if he really dares to treat Xiang Yu and Gao Shun, how can I spare him? ”

"This..."

Chen Gong still felt that it was too dangerous.

Lu Bu interrupted him and said, "There is another most important reason. Cao Cao dug people's ancestral graves everywhere, and although he was notorious, he did make a fortune. My eyes were red. Gotta get him to spit it out... ”

Lu Bu was determined to blackmail Cao Cao.

Chen Gong and Jia Xu couldn't persuade anymore, so they had to pray in their hearts that nothing big would happen.

Hua Xin waited in the post house for three days, but was not summoned by Lu Bu.

He left a letter and left in a hurry.

Yanzhou.

Xu Du.

Xiang Yu and Gao Shun already knew that Cao Cao's intention was to delay time and wait for Lu Bu to transfer them away.

I have to say that the strategy is very clever.

If Lu Bu really orders to come, let them return to Yangzhou. Then even if they don't want to, they have to carry out the order. The 30,000 stone of grain that had been promised before could no longer be asked for from Cao Cao.

Xiang Yu discussed with Gao Shun and decided to give Cao Cao a play.

What kind of play?

According to the drama of Dong Zhuo when he entered Beijing, the troops were insufficient, and he repeatedly entered and exited Luoyang City. Cao Cao mistakenly thought that the enemy troops outside the city had increased, felt fear, and then attacked the city with great fanfare.

forced Cao Cao to obediently hand over 30,000 stone of grain.

In the darkness of the night.

Wang Ren, the deputy general under Gao Shun, led 20,000 light horsemen (not horses, on foot) along the woods on the left side of the camp, quietly advancing.

I walked more than sixty miles to the southeast.

Stay early the next morning.

Wang Ren led another 20,000 men and returned the same way.

But this time, it was not sneaky, but with great fanfare, so that Cao Jun along the way could see that Gao Shun's follow-up troops were here again. And in the queue, there are also flags of trapped camps.

Soon arrived outside the city of Xudu.

Not far from the big camp of Xiang Yu and Gao Shun, another camp was set up.

In the account.

Gao Shun said: "Dong Zhuo has used this plan, and everyone in the world knows it, I'm afraid it can't be hidden from Cao Cao." There are also strategists like Guo Jia and Xun Yu, who are extremely wise, and they must be able to see that we are bluffing. ”

"Hahaha..."

"What are you laughing at?"

Xiang Yu picked up the wine bottle, took a sip, and said, "I laughed at you for being smart and confused for a while." It doesn't matter whether this plan can succeed in hiding Cao Cao, or whether it is Cao Cao's advisor. Because what they really worry about is the attitude of the lord. ”

"Wait for the lord to send an order, and we will delay for two days before leaving. Cao Cao also understood that we would never give up without getting food. ”

Gao Shun nodded and said, "Then it depends on how Cao Cao decides." ”
