Shunyang County, where Yuan Shu is located.

When the news of Wang Lei's attack on the county came back, Yuan Shu couldn't sit still anymore. For the first time, Wang Lei ostensibly attacked the county, but he killed Hao Ku, the county commander of the county, and swept away the horses and equipment of the county; The second time, Wang Lei made a gesture of going south to Jingzhou in Xinye, but he turned back halfway and captured the county unexpectedly.

Two consecutive raids have stirred up unrest in Nanyang, and if it continues to develop, Nanyang will definitely become a mess.

At this time, the little school sent by Liu Bei came to the post house again.

In the hall, the little colonel's expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and he said loudly: "Yuan Taishou, my family asks Yuan Taishou to gather the troops of Nanyang County and encircle the county, so as not to let Wang Lei escape." ”

Yuan Shu snorted and said dissatisfiedly: "Liu Bei is incompetent, but he let this official take action, what is the reason?" ”

The little colonel didn't care so much, and said: "My lord said that if Yuan Taishou does not send troops, the adults will withdraw their troops immediately." ”

Yuan Shu was even more angry, Liu Bei was a naked-naked-naked threat.

In fact, the county and the county were captured, and Yuan Shu was already planning to send troops. Liu Bei's tough words made Yuan Shu's heart very unhappy. Similarly, Liu Bei was actually very unhappy with Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu failed to work three times and twice, which led to the development of things to the point where they are now, so that there are resentments on both sides.

Yuan Shu wanted to refuse Liu Bei's request, but the matter had come to this point, and Wang Lei couldn't be allowed to get away, Yuan Shu said with a cold face: "Go back and tell Liu Bei and let him bite Wang Lei's tail." Keep your eyes open, don't keep in the air, I'll gather an army to encircle. ”

"Thank you! Leave. ”

The small school came and went in a hurry, and soon left the post house.

Yuan Shu immediately found Changshi Yang Hong, sent an order to go down, and mobilized a large army to encircle the county.

……

County, twenty-eight miles northeast.

Wang Lei led his troops to withdraw and rushed in the direction of Sui County. More than 1,000 war horses are rushing, mighty and magnificent. Lu Bu was happy in his heart, and said loudly: "Brother Xian, Yuan Shu mobilized the army to surround the county, and planned to trap us in the county, the idea is good." ”

Wang Lei asked with a smile: "Does my brother think Yuan Shu can trap us?" ”

Lu Bu said proudly: "How can ants trap the tigers, they are here to send them to death." ”

In his tone, there was disdain.

I think that back then, when Lu Bu led his troops to attack Xianbei in Bingzhou, he encountered countless Xianbei cavalry surrounding, and he was not afraid. Now, Yuan Shao is just a small taishou, sending soldiers to surround him, but Lu Bu didn't pay attention to it at all.

Wang Lei patted the horse's back and said, "Brother is right, go, kill Runan, see who can stop us?" ”

"Okay, kill him for a pass."

Lu Bu laughed loudly, and the red rabbit horse was like a spirit in the fire, galloping quickly.

……

Chaoyang County, where Liu Bei's army was stationed.

The news that Wang Lei led his troops to kill Xiang Xian County soon reached Liu Bei's ears. This time, Liu Bei became cautious. did not immediately take the army to chase after him, so as not to be teased by Wang Lei again. Liu Bei's army stayed in Chaoyang County, constantly sending scouts to inquire about the news, biting Wang Lei to the death, and determining the direction of Wang Lei's march.

Now that Yuan Shu has dispatched a large army to surround him from all sides, even if Wang Lei wants to break through, it will not be easy.

Chen Zhi came to Liu Bei's camp and suggested: "Lord, Yuan Shu dispatched troops to surround Wang Lei, and it is difficult for Wang Lei to hide his whereabouts. I think that the strategy of waiting for the rabbit has lost its effect, and I can keep up with Wang Lei and wait for the opportunity. ”

Liu Bei was teased continuously, shook his head and said: "I can't judge Wang Lei's movements yet, so I won't move for the time being." ”

Chen Zhi said: "At this time, at that time, the situation has changed, and we must also make corresponding adjustments. If you sit idly by, it will be even more difficult for Wang Lei to win. ”

Liu Bei flicked his sleeves and said, "I have my own plans, so I don't need to persuade me anymore." ”

Chen Zhi had no choice but to withdraw from the camp.

……

Chang'an, dock.

Dong Zhuo sat in the middle of the hall, and below, sat Situ Wang Yun. Wang Yun looked angry and said, "Xiangguo, Lu Bu and Wang Lei sent their relatives south, and were attacked by Yuan Shu in Nanyang. So far, Lu Bu and Wang Lei have been chased and intercepted. The situation of the two is not good, and Xiangguo's daughter also does not know whether she is alive or dead, so please send troops to Xiangguo and take down Yuan Shu. ”

Dong Zhuo snorted, very unhappy in his heart.

Yuan Shu is too rampant. His daughter got married, and it was Yuan Shu's blessing to pass through Nanyang. Yuan Shu was not good at reception, but led troops to attack, which was clearly to do it.

However, Dong Zhuo had already received the news that Wang Lei had divided his troops to escort Dong Yu, and he was not worried.

Dong Zhuo thought for a while and said, "Wang Situ rest assured, this matter, the prime minister will definitely ask for an explanation." ”

As soon as he heard this, Wang Yun's heart was half cold.

Ask for an explanation? It means that there will be no troops, which makes Wang Yun sigh in his heart.

Wang Yun didn't dare in his heart, and said: "Xiangguo, Sun Ce asks for Xiangguo's daughter, although this is Xiangguo's daughter, but it is also in the name of the Son of Heaven. Yuan Shu openly attacked the team that sent his relatives, which was contempt for the Son of Heaven and contempt for Xiangguo. If this matter is not resolved, I am afraid that it will affect the majesty of the Xiangguo, and it will definitely be even more difficult to order the princes in the future. ”

Dong Zhuo's face sank like water, and he shouted: "Someone! ”

Soon, a soldier walked in quickly.

Dong Zhuo instructed: "Order the generals stationed in Wuguan to lead troops to feint to attack Nanyang." and ordered Yuan Shu to immediately stop encircling and suppressing Wang Lei and give Benxiang an explanation. If Yuan Shu does not withdraw his troops, he will attack Nanyang again. ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers retreated, Dong Zhuo looked at Wang Yun and said, "Situ, are you satisfied now?" ”

Wang Yun nodded and said, "Xiangguo's arrangement must be good." Wang Yun was not satisfied with such an arrangement. The feint attack on Nanyang was just to put pressure on Yuan Shu, and there was no actual action. Wang Yun knew very well that Dong Zhuo had experienced the battle of Tiger Prison Pass, and he no longer had the intention of dominating the world, he just wanted to hold the court and three points of land, and he didn't want to start a war with the princes, so he just feint.

After Wang Yun left the dock, he prayed in his heart that Wang Lei could withdraw from Nanyang safely.

……

Yanzhou, Changyi County.

Governor's Mansion!

Cao Cao is in charge of Yanzhou, in a high position, and his bearing is even more extraordinary. He wore a loose robe and sat casually in his study. Opposite Cao Cao, there was also a military advisor Xi Zhicai. The two of them drank tea and talked about things at the same time, very casually. Compared with the status of Man Chong, Yu Ban and others, Xi Zhishen has a special status, and Cao Cao is both a monarch and a friend, with a special status.

Xi Zhicai took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Under the drastic reform of the lord, everything in Yanzhou is on the right track and developing in a good direction. As long as it takes one or two years of accumulation, Yanzhou can have a good foundation. ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Yes, we must lay a solid foundation." During Liu Dai's tenure as the state pastor, the people were displaced and plagued by bandits, leaving us with a mess. It is necessary to settle the internal troubles before they can expand outward. ”

After a pause, Cao Cao asked, "By the way, how is the great poet and calligrapher Wang Lei?" ”

Wang Lei's poems, as well as fonts, Cao Cao has also witnessed.

Xi Zhicai replied: "Wang Lei is good at dancing in Chang'an with long sleeves, and he is very popular. However, he also had a lot of fun fighting with Li Ru in Chang'an. Li Ru took advantage of Sun Ce's marriage and asked Wang Lei to serve as the deputy envoy of the mission to Jiangdong. I don't know what Wang Lei thought, but he agreed, and now he is trapped in Nanyang and is being chased and killed by Yuan Shu. ”

Cao Cao's eyes couldn't help but show a look of admiration, and said: "Not to mention, Wang Lei's poems and words are very good, admirable!" Speaking of this, Cao Cao laughed again and said, "Wherever Wang Lei goes, there will be no peace." Yuan Shu wanted to deal with Wang Lei, it was not easy. Let's watch from the wall and enhance our strength is the king. ”

Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "The lord is reasonable!" ”

Cao Cao picked up the teacup, smelled the tea, and a look of intoxication appeared on his face.
