Cao Cao went to attack Xuzhou and took most of his soldiers and horses with him. At this time, there were only more than 10,000 people in Juancheng. If it is really a division of troops, then Juancheng is really in danger. It is impossible for Zhang Miao to see this clearly, but he is still urging Juancheng to send troops, grain and grass and armaments, which can only prove one point, that is, Zhang Miao must want to transfer Juancheng's city defense forces, causing Zhencheng to be empty.

Moreover, Cao Cao killed the famous scholar Bian Rang, and when he went to Xuzhou to conquer Xuzhou, he caused the dissatisfaction of many Yanzhou scholars. Although Xun Yu didn't expect these people to rebel, he was still a little wary of them. Now that there is turmoil in Yanzhou, it is also reminiscent of Zhang Miao's purpose for doing this, which makes Xun Yu believe that Zhang Miao must be trying to plot Juancheng.

I'm afraid that in Juancheng at this moment, I don't know how many people want to rebel. It seems that there is no danger in Juancheng for the time being, but there is an undercurrent surging in private.

Xun Yu appeased everyone on the one hand, making others think that he Xun Yu had listened to Liu Yi's words, and wanted to send grain, grass and armaments to Chenliu, but on the other hand, he strengthened the defense of Juancheng, and then urgently summoned the troops to return in Puyang's Dongjun Taishou Xiahoudun.

As Xun Yu guessed, Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao was persuaded by Xu Yan and Chen Gong to betray Cao Cao after experiencing a choice of inner suffering. And let Liu Yi go to ask Xun Yu for help, that is the first step! The second step was to immediately let Chen Gong persuade those soldiers and horses in Dongjun to rise up against Cao! The third step is to come to Juancheng, and then with the help of Neiying, capture Juancheng in one fell swoop. And once this strategy succeeds, Dongjun and Juancheng will be lost, and Yanzhou will be the general trend! At that time, even if Cao Cao returned to his teacher, he was helpless.

It's just a pity that Zhang Miao thought things too simply! With Xun Yu's talent, how could he not see through his little strategy? When Liu Yi went to Juancheng, Lu Bu didn't expect much from him.

After knowing that Liu Yi was gone, Lu Bu almost wanted to point his nose at Zhang Miao, who was too guarded by Chen Liu, next to him! That's good! He asked Liu Yi to go to Juancheng, not to let Xun Yu get into the scheme, but obviously to tell Xun Yu that he was in danger in Juancheng and reminded Xun Yu.

"The only way to do this is to march into Juancheng immediately! If we can reach Juancheng quickly, we will be able to capture Juancheng before Xun Yu solves the internal troubles in Juancheng! ”

Guo Jia immediately advised.

After Zhang Miao let everyone talk about it, he also realized that he seemed to have made a wrong decision, and at this time, in the face of Guo Jia's advice, he also nodded in agreement, and also sighed, "Hey, I'm confused for a while!" If this Xun Gong is someone, how can he let me be deceived by a small calculation! I asked Liu Yi to go to Juancheng, but I may have harmed Wang Kai and others in the city. ”

"It's so far, it's useless to say more."

Lu Bu immediately ordered, "We will immediately set off for Juancheng now, and maybe we may even capture Juancheng." ”

"Good!"

Zhang Miao replied, "I still have 5,000 soldiers and horses in my headquarters, so let's go with the prince and the prince to conquer Juancheng!" ”

"No!"

As soon as Zhang Miao finished speaking, his younger brother Zhang Chao immediately stopped him, "This Chen Liu still needs his brother to guard it!" If the elder brother goes to conquer Juancheng, who will this Chen stay hand over? ”

"After I leave, this Chen Liu will be guarded by you, Bogao!"

Zhang Miao sighed, "Yongqiu City is strong and has enough food, you can garrison troops there, if anything unfavorable happens, it is enough to defend it." ”

"If you don't let me go to conquer Juancheng, wouldn't it be better for my brother to sit in charge of the overall situation here?"

Zhang Chao advised.

But Zhang Miao flatly refused, "Otherwise, you have been the Taishou of Guangling for a long time, and you don't have many old officials in Yanzhou." In this Juancheng, I have many old officials who know the old people in the city, and if I go, they will definitely believe in me and open the gates of Juancheng for me. ”

"Brother—"

Zhang Chao let out another sad cry.

And this Zhang Miao also had a sad face, and he didn't know that he thought the two were parting by life and death. Looking at the sad expressions of the two, Lu Bu said in a loud voice, "Zhang Taishou, this is just going with me to attack Zhencheng, and it is not a life and death parting, why is the woman's posture?" captured Juancheng and took Yanzhou, it was not too late to cry at that time, now it is better to send troops as soon as possible! Don't delay any longer! ”

"The prince smiled!"

Zhang Miao wiped his tears with his sleeve, and then said, "It's really when the battle is coming, but there are a lot of words!" For the time being, please wait for a while, I will tell Bo Gao and a few words, and then we will immediately send troops to Juancheng! ”

Lu Bu looked at Zhang Chao, then at Zhang Miao, and retreated silently, while Guo Jia, Li Ru, Dong Zhao and others followed him and retreated.

Walking out of the secret room, Lu Bu looked at the pavilions and rockeries outside, and suddenly realized the feelings of Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao. In this troubled world, a person from a humble background like Lu Bu needs to fight for his life, relying on life and death battles again and again, to be able to have his current power and status. But for people like Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao, they don't have to pay so much hardship, and they can have that kind of power and status. If it was a peaceful period, the two brothers would be able to rely on their family background and fame to be their two thousand stone guards in peace.

But now, this troubled era is coming, so they can only fight for their lives in order to protect themselves! If you win, it's nothing, and if you lose, you lose the lives of your whole family and your whole family! Who would want to take such a gamble unless it was absolutely necessary?

Of course, in the end, it's their lives that are precious!

If they were also people from humble backgrounds like Lu Bu, then they wouldn't have so many cares! Why? Because Lu Bu's lives are worthless! If they don't use their lives to fight for a wealth, then they will be just lowly people for the rest of their lives, and they may lose their lives at any time. It's still the kind of one that no one cares about when it's dead. It is true that if a famous person dies in this world, it will make many people sigh, but if a subordinate dies, how many people will talk about it?

In the troubled times, I don't know how many people died in the war, but in the records of history, these people are just a string of numbers.

The two Zhang Miao brothers in the secret room did not negotiate for long, anyway, Zhang Chao finally listened to his brother's words, stationed troops in Yongqiu, and sent Zhang Miao's family to Yongqiu, apparently in response to his brother Zhang Miao's entrustment and took care of his family.

And after solving his worries, Zhang Miao was also decisive, and immediately gathered 5,000 soldiers and horses, and went to Juancheng with Lu Bu's two thousand elite horsemen.
