The so-called heroes must have some well-known hobbies. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

For example, Cao Cao likes wives, Liu Bei likes to sleep with his brothers, and Yan Shao's hobbies are also famous, but he doesn't like to drink. He has only drunk a handful of times since the crossing, which is almost a miracle in this era. After all, people who don't like to drink in this era are too rare. And his hobby is also famous because of this, and even Xuzhou knows it very well.

As soon as Yan Shao took his seat, Tao Qian had already asked his subordinates to serve the brewed tea.

However, after hearing Lu Bu's name, Tao Qian and Mi Zhu and the others next to him were still stunned for a moment. "Lu Bu?"

"Not bad..."Yan Shao showed a subtle expression. It's Lu Bu..."

Saying that, Yan Shao's body leaned forward slightly, facing a few people. "My advisor just told me the news that after Lu Bu was driven out of Chang'an by Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, he defected to the Yuan brothers, first to Yuan Shu and then to Yuan Shao, but neither of these two people could accommodate him, and now Lu Bu is near Yanzhou. I have dealt with this person in the past, and I know that this person is powerful, if I can say that this person can attack Yanzhou, are you still afraid that Cao Cao will not return to his lair? ”

After listening to Yan Shao's analysis, Tao Qian and the others opened their mouths slightly, revealing a sudden expression.

"What a wonderful thing Fu Xian said..."

Tao Qian stroked his palm and smiled.

"But..."Mi Zhu raised a different opinion next to him. How can I say that Lu Bu will attack Yanzhou? ”

After all, this is an offending thing, Lu Bu and Cao Cao had no enmity before, if this attack on Yanzhou, it would be tantamount to a deep hatred.

"This is Zizhong, you didn't expect it..."Yan Shao explained with a smile. Think about it, how could a heroic man like Lu Bu want to wander all the time and not even have a place to return? If he is given a chance, now that Yanzhou is empty, how can he not have any thoughts at all? Besides, as long as you promise benefits, are you still worried about not moving Lu Bu? ”

"Benefits?" Tao Qian and the others looked at each other.

"Benefits, Lu Bu forgets his righteousness when he sees profits, if there is no benefit, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to move this person, but as long as the benefits are given, and there is Yanzhou in front of him, how can he not be tempted?"

"This..."Tao Qian and Mi Zhu were a little moved.

If it is something else, maybe Xuzhou can't afford it, but if it's just money and grain, there is no problem. There are not many others in Xuzhou, but there is more money and food. If they could use money and food, something outside of their bodies, to say that Lu Bu would attack Cao Cao's back, it would still be worth it for them.

"If the rear is attacked, Cao Cao's army will be in chaos, and we will take advantage of the situation to attack again, and we will definitely be able to defeat Cao Cao, and then it will be easy to recover the entire territory of Xuzhou?" Yan Shao continued to bewitch.

Cao Cao was not an easy opponent to deal with, and as a monarch, Yan Shao would definitely want a way to defeat Cao Cao at the lowest cost. Anyway, it wasn't him who paid in the end, so what did he have to worry about?

"It's just that I don't know how much food I should give before I can say that Lu Bu can be moved?" Mi Zhu was indeed a little tempted, but he still glanced at Yan Shao. In order to mobilize Yan Shao to send troops before, Xuzhou has sent out almost 500,000 grains, which is not a small amount.

500,000 grains can almost supply nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses for a year's expenses. Fuzhou is rich, but it is also astronomical. After spending so much food, it is almost impossible to expect Xuzhou to spend the same amount.

Yan Shao shook his head and smiled. "Zizhong rest assured, now that Lu Bu is down, how can he open his mouth, I think as long as 100,000 grains can make him obediently send troops..."

Hearing this number, Mi Zhu and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although 100,000 Hu grain is not a small amount, it is still much stronger than 500,000 Hu. Over the years, Xuzhou has hoarded a lot of grain, and gritting his teeth may not be able to squeeze out the 100,000 hu.

In fact, in the process of transporting food, we also need to consider the loss of transportation. You don't go in a car, whether it's the horses that haul the grain or the coachman who drives the car, including the soldiers who escort it, they are consuming the food along the way. In addition, this kind of work is still a manual work, and when the food is delivered to the place, the food lost is definitely not a small number.

But since it's been decided, there's no way around it...

"I just don't know how to contact Lu Bu?"

"This is simple, according to the information I have gotten, Lu Bu is now located near Yanzhou, it is easy to find..."

"Then, will Lu Bu be Cao Cao's opponent?" Tao Qian asked with some concern.

Lu Bu did leave a deep impression on him, before the Tiger Prison Pass, almost no one could do it, and in the end, it was the two brave generals under Yan Shao's account who joined forces to fight a draw with him. The problem is that Cao Cao is also very powerful, especially during the attack on Xuzhou, which caused a great psychological shadow to Tao Qian. To be reasonable, he really had some doubts that Lu Bu would be Cao Cao's opponent.

"This is even better..."Yan Shao laughed. I'm just waiting for Cao Cao to withdraw his troops, as for whether Lu Bu is Cao Cao's opponent, what does this have to do with us? ”

Tao Qian and the others thought about it, but Lu Bu was not related to them, why did they think about Lu Bu?

Even if there is nowhere to hide at the end of the earth where Lu Bu is hunted down by Cao Cao in the future, they can't be blamed, after all, they are paid.

Thinking of this, Mi Zhu and the others were relieved, it was just 100,000 grains, and the official treasury might be almost empty, and they could still make it up if they got together.

Tao Qian and the others accepted their plan, and Yan Shao was also very happy.

"But the most important thing at the moment is to give Cao Cao some power first, and attract his attention by the way, if you continue to let him besiege the city like this, it will not be easy for people to go out and contact Lu Bu..." As the prince said, let's go out of the city to meet the enemy, give Cao Cao some colors first, and let him not be too presumptuous..."

"In this way, please return to the first..."Hearing Yan Shao's agreement, Tao Qian said with some excitement.

Yan Shao hurriedly hugged him and smiled modestly. "Why should the prince be like this..."

Regarding Yan Shao's demeanor, Mi Zhu and the others next to him also nodded secretly, and Mi Zhu himself was a little regretful, why is Yan Shao not from Xuzhou?

If he is from Xuzhou, they will support him as Tao Qian's successor. However, Yan Shao is a person from Qingzhou, an outsider, if he is made Tao Qian's successor, you can imagine how much the local gate valve in Xuzhou will be affected, and it may even be robbed of a lot of benefits by the family gate valve in Qingzhou, which is why Mi Zhu admires Yan Shao so much, but does not support him to take over Tao Qian's position—————— Tao Qian does treat him well, but this does not mean that Tao Qian is his lord.

Or today's Mi Zhu, like Chen Deng, is ownerless, but Tao Qian is the state pastor of Xuzhou, and the two of them need to represent their own interests in Xuzhou, so they will serve under Tao Qian's account, and by the way, they will make profits for their own family.

———————————— Dividing Line——————————

In fact, the Xuzhou soldiers and horses are not really unusable, at least the Danyang soldiers and horses are still very good. It is a pity that the Danyang soldiers did not have qualified generals to use them, which led to the defeat of the Xuzhou soldiers and horses in the battle against the Cao army. In the end, even the courage to go out of the city to fight was gone.

But now...

This time, Yan Shao brought few soldiers and horses, but Xuzhou has...

And the problem of the lack of generals in Xuzhou is not a big deal for Yan Shao...

When the two are added together, it's not 1+1=2...

In Cao's camp, Cao Cao and his generals were still discussing how to break through Xiapi City.

No matter from which point of view, with Yan Shao's support, Pi will become more difficult to break. And the generals of the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan are even more worried, Xiahou was seriously injured in the first battle yesterday, and now his life is in danger. The doctors in the camp did their best, but they only kept him from dying on the spot, and as for whether he could survive it, it still depended on Xiahoudun's luck.

Considering Xiahoudun's current situation, what mood can these people from the Cao family and the Xiahou family still have?

The other generals couldn't understand their feelings, but the atmosphere in the camp was such that they couldn't act as if they were in a particularly good mood.

At this time, news came from outside the camp that the soldiers and horses in Xiapi City seemed to have moved.

"What do you say? Tao Qian, that old horseman, actually dared to go out of the city? Hearing the news, Cao Hong said in disbelief.

Unlike Xiahoudun, although Cao Hong also suffered a lot of injuries, most of them were just some skin injuries, not very serious. So when Xiahoudun was still lying on the hospital bed, receiving the full care of the doctors, he could still stand here alive.

It's not just him, it's Lejin too. Xiahou Yuan's injuries were relatively serious, but that was all.

"It's not surprising that Tao Qian's old horseman now has Yan Shao's support, and it is common for him to want to go out of the city to fight..."

At this time, there was one less person among Cao Cao's advisers, Xun Yu.

After Yan Shao came, Xun Yu, Cao Cao and others judged that the battle might not end in a short time. In this way, the requirements for grain and grass will also be much higher. At present, Yanzhou's convenient troops are empty, and Cao Cao has not left too many men to sit there, if there is not enough food and grass, I am afraid that the soldiers and horses in front will be hungry.

So after thinking about it, Cao Cao sent Xun Yu back to Yanzhou to be responsible for the allocation of grain and grass. Right now, Xun Yu has just set off, and he may not have traveled too far. However, considering that Cao Cao still has two people by his side, Xi Zhicai and Xun You, it is enough.

It's just that whether it's Xun You or Xi Zhicai, the expressions of the two of them are not very good-looking.

There are not a lot of soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, but there is just a lack of people to use them, and now that Yan Shao is here, the situation has become much more complicated in an instant.

"The only good news now is that the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou and Qingzhou have not cooperated in the past, and the tacit understanding between them is very problematic, otherwise, this battle is worrying..."

"Not bad..."

Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu were discussing there, and Cao Cao also made his own decision.

"Fight!"

All of a sudden, the war drums beat, and the Cao army camp, which was originally quite silent, suddenly became lively.

Countless sergeants came out of the battalion, lined up in neat arrays. The iron spear pointed straight to the sky, like a forest of iron formed by a spear. After a while, I saw Cao Cao and others in military uniforms riding out of the army, looking at Xiapi City, which was slowly opening the city gate.

"Tao Qian, Yan Shao...", gently chanting these two names, a trace of gloom flashed in Cao Cao's eyes.

—————————— Dividing Line——————————

"Cao Cao..."Looking at the soldiers and horses in the distance, Yan Shao also sneered.

He knew very well from a long time ago who his great enemy would be, but what he didn't expect was that the speed at which the two would meet each other would be so fast. Even before he had sorted out his hometown, he had already met Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

But there is no way, many things are not something he can choose, at least Yuan Shao did not give him a chance to choose.

If he could, Yan Shao really wanted to solve Cao Cao's hidden danger in this battle, but unfortunately he knew very well that the possibility of doing so was very low.

But if you just give Cao Cao some trouble, it doesn't seem to be a very difficult thing to do...

"Lord, I'll fight this time!"

Next to Yan Shao, Gan Ning took the lead in hugging fists.

As a major general under Yan Shao, Gan Ning has never had many opportunities to make meritorious contributions, but this time he wants to grasp the following opportunities. And Yan Shao treats him like a national soldier, if he doesn't show something, he will feel a little embarrassed.

"Oh?" Yan Shao was a little surprised. "If you don't want Xingba to be so eager to fight, it's okay, then it's up to you to fight."

"Yes!"

Receiving Yan Shao's promise, Gan Ning also seemed a little excited, and immediately rode up.

Just looking at Gan Ning's back, Tao Qian and the others, who had been beside him, were a little worried. "Fu Xian, why don't you let General Zhao Yun go into battle? This person's words..."

It's no wonder that Zhao Yun became famous in a battle before the Tiger Prison Pass, which is not comparable to Gan Ning.

And how Zhao Yun's martial arts are, Tao Qian has witnessed it with his own eyes, compared to Gan Ning's words...

As a well-known local tyrant in Xuzhou, Mi Zhu had heard of Gan Ning's reputation when he arrived, and knew that he was one of the most famous water thieves in Jingzhou's waters. And it is very likely to be one of the strongest water thieves in the waters of the Yangtze River, the problem is that Gan Ning is just a water thief after all, even if he is powerful, what can he do?

The Cao army on the opposite side is extremely brave, and if he doesn't do it well, he is afraid that he will lose Gan Ning's life...

However, looking at Tao Qian, Yan Shao smiled slightly. "Fu Jun rest assured, Xingba is one of the strongest generals in martial arts under my account, and he will definitely not be inferior to Zilong, against the Cao army on the opposite side, even if he can't win, at least he won't lose..."

In this regard, not only Yan Shao, but even Zhao Yun and others next to him also bowed slightly.

The strongest martial artist under Yan Shao's account is none other than Huang Zhong. Huang Zhongsheng is superior in martial arts, and has enough experience, etc., it can be said that he is the only general under Yan Shao's account who can compete with Lu Bu in this period—————— of course, if it is really right, I am afraid it will be slightly inferior, after all, considering the experience in the battle formation, as well as riding skills, etc., Lu Bu is obviously stronger than Huang Zhong.

But against the generals under Yan Shao's account, Huang Zhong had an overwhelming advantage.

Even if it is Zhao Yun, it is difficult to compete with Huang Zhong now, so if the generals under Yan Shao's account are simply ranked by martial arts, the first must undoubtedly be Huang Zhong, the second is Zhao Yun, and the third is Gan Ning. As for Tai Shici, although he is also an extraordinary martial artist, and he is also the highest-ranking general under Yan Shao's account, he can only be relegated to the fourth position.

The fifth is to compete with Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, Wu Anguo, etc., well, the last place must be Sun Guan...

Although Yan Shao also used Sun Guan very much, and even asked him to lead the Dare to First Army, the most elite cavalry under Yan Shao's account, but if you only look at martial arts, Sun Guan is indeed the weakest one.

To be reasonable, Yan Shao's eyes are not one or two, especially Gan Ning, who has been looking at the position of the commander of the Dare First Army for a long time. It's just that Gan Ning's skills are certainly above Sun Guan, but the time he has followed Yan Shao is still too short, and the most important thing is that Yan Shao has other uses for him.

It can even be said that if it weren't for the sudden need to conquer Xuzhou this time, I am afraid that Yan Shao would have already begun to consider arranging Gan Ning in the position of commander of the naval army—————— of course, it was only part-time.

After all, in a short period of time, it is difficult for the navy to come in handy, and if a fierce general like Gan Ning has been placed in the position of the navy but cannot be used, it is also a very wasteful thing.

—————————— Dividing Line——————————

Hearing that Yan Shao and the others had such confidence in Gan Ning, Tao Qian and the others could only temporarily put aside the worries in their hearts and quietly watched the situation in the formation.

At the same time, seeing that it was not Zhao Yun who he was most worried about, Cao Cao also breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, hearing Gan Ning report his name before the battle, Cao Cao asked left and right. "Who is this?"

"This..."

This time, even Xun You, Xi Zhicai and others were looking at each other, not knowing how to answer Cao Cao's question.

It is no wonder that Gan Ning is indeed very famous in Jingzhou, but this is not Jingzhou, but the Central Plains. The so-called trolls are of no use here at all. If it was in Jingzhou, Gan Ning's reputation might be able to make people stop crying, but when he came here, he would have become a nobody, and even Sun Guan and others under Yan Shao's account were probably much stronger than Gan Ning.

Seeing that no one under his account knew who was on the other side, Cao Cao was also a little helpless.

"In this case, who dares to fight?"

"I'll go!" I saw a young general jumping out from the side and going straight to Gan Ning.

Next to Yu Ban reported. "This is my subordinate general, Sun Yue..."

I saw Sun Yue holding a spear in his hand, going straight to Gan Ning, and then...

was slashed by Gan Ning under the horse...

"Who else?!" The horizontal knife was immediately, and Gan Ning said proudly.
