Xiahoudun was speechless when asked by Chen Gong.

He has led troops for many years, and of course he knows the benefits of issuing military orders quickly.

Lu Bu deployed the Qingzhou army to take a trip from him.

It's okay if the war is not tight.

Once the war is tense, the deployment of a large army in this way is nothing more than pushing the tide of the war in the direction of defeat.

Xiahoudun's face showed confusion.

Chen Gong smiled indifferently: "I think General Xiahou hasn't thought about it yet, please go back first, maybe Wen Hou will think of other ways." ”

"I still don't believe that he can think of anything to go to Qingzhou." Xiahoudun was no longer angry when he spoke: "If you delay for a few more days, Huainan will fall into the hands of Liu Biao in Jingzhou." ”

"What else can I do?" Chen Gong sighed helplessly: "Xuzhou has few soldiers, and there is a shortage of food and money, how can it be possible to take Huainan?" ”

"If I hand over the Qingzhou army to Fengxian, he will be able to take Huainan?" Xiahoudun suddenly asked.

"Perhaps." Chen Gong's answer was very unconfident: "What the Qingzhou Army is like, the general should know better than me." It is better to say that they are soldiers than to say that they are thieves. On the battlefield, they should be more energetic than killing the enemy. I still don't understand, what does Wen Hou want them to do? ”

"No matter how you say it, it's 30,000 people, how many people are there in the Huainan army?" Of course, Xiahoudun knew what kind of virtue the Qingzhou Army was, but Chen Gong's unabashed statement still made him feel very unhappy.

"There is no military discipline, let alone 30,000, even if it is 300,000, what can it be?" Chen Gong didn't seem to see that Xiahoudun was already unhappy: "When Wen Hou comes back, I have to persuade him." I really can't fight, just explain the difficulties to Cao Gong. ”

Chen Gong had a great position in front of Lu Bu, and of course Xiahoudun knew that his words had weight.

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate for the public station to do this, right?" Xiahoudun said: "The crusade against Huainan was promised by Cao Gong ...... first."

"Wen Hou thought that Huainan was scattered at the time, but our army probed the horses and reported that Yang Hong and Zhang Xun were in charge of the government and the main army, not only did they not have the slightest chaos, but they were more orderly than Yuan Shu alive." Chen Gong asked: "If General Xiahou is invited to lead the troops to fight, I don't know what chance of victory?" ”

Xiahoudun was asked again.

The days of coming to Xuzhou are not short, and he knows very well how many soldiers and horses there are.

With such a few people crusading against Huainan, it is indeed a fool's dream.

"Wen Hou borrowed the Qingzhou Army from the general, and he also had the determination to die to do things for Cao Gong." Chen Gong said again: "If the general refuses to give it, forget it, he still has to block it from it, and make a second order." ”

He smiled and shook his head: "It's useless for General Xiahou to tell me so much, it's better to wait for Wen Hou to return to Xuzhou to discuss with him." ”

"Seeing that the return deadline given to me by Cao Gong is approaching, Feng Xian has not heard from him yet, how can I wait for him?" Xiahou said with annoyance: "Gong Cao has only one meaning, please send troops as soon as possible, and take advantage of Liu Biao's action to calm Huainan!" After the deadline, he was to blame. ”

"As I have already said, if Cao Gongqiang is difficult, there is nothing to justify." Chen Gong's face turned cold: "Come on, send General Xiahou off." ”

Two guards pushed the door open and entered the house.

Xiahoudun glanced at them, stood up and thought for a moment.

Then he seemed to have made a great determination, took out half of the tiger talisman from his arms, walked to Chen Gongmian and went to his table and patted it: "The Qingzhou Army Tiger Talisman is here, I borrowed the soldiers, and it depends on Fengxian whether to beat Huainan or not." ”

"General Xiahou...... This ......" Xiahoudun turned around and left, Chen Gong grabbed the tiger talisman and stood up.

Xiahoudun, who turned to leave, didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and walked out accompanied by two guards.

The hand holding the tiger talisman slowly clenched, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of Chen Gong's mouth.

Find a piece of silk and wrap the tiger talisman layer by layer.

Chen Gong stuffed it into the bamboo tube containing the letter again.

Sealing the bamboo tube, he beckoned to the door: "Someone! ”

A guard came into the house.

He handed the bamboo tube to the guard: "This letter is very important, it must be handed over to Wen Hou, and no one else should be asked to pass it on his behalf." ”

The guard took the bamboo tube with both hands.

The tiger talisman was sent out, and Chen Gong breathed a sigh of relief.

Only by getting the Tiger Talisman can Lu Bu master the Qingzhou Army.

Once the 30,000 Qingzhou army arrives, it will not be returned to Xiahou in the future, at least temporarily, it can improve Lu Bu's strength.

In order to wait for the families of the newly commissioned soldiers, Lu Bu stayed in Qingzhou for more than ten days.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there were no high-speed railways, airplanes and other rapid transportation.

After years of war, most civilians do not have even decent livestock at home, let alone horses.

After waiting for more than ten days, the families of the soldiers who came here did not even have a CD out of ten.

Although people came every day, Lu Bu felt more and more that he couldn't wait here for long.

Xiapi still has a lot of things to do for him.

The most important thing is that Xiahoudun has been hanging for a long time, and if he doesn't go back to solve it, good things are likely to turn bad.

Please Zang Ba and Sun Guan into the tent.

After the two of them sat down, Lu Bu said: "Two generals, I have stayed in Qingzhou for too long, and I planned to return to Xuzhou with all the soldiers' families, but it seems that I can only leave this matter to Yigao." ”

Lu Bu handed over the task of escorting the soldiers' families to Zang Ba, and the two generals were a little puzzled.

"Wen Hou is going somewhere else?" Zang Ba asked.

"There are still many things in Xiapi that I need to take care of personally." Lu Bu said: "Yigao escorted the soldiers' families to Xuzhou and went directly to Pengcheng without sending them to Xiapi. ”

"Now that Wen Hou is in Xiapi, how can you escort people to Pengcheng?" The two of them were even more puzzled by Lu Bu's decision, and Sun Guan couldn't help but blurt out a question.

"Pengcheng used to be the former capital of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, where the city is high and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as it is managed properly, it is far better than Xiapi a hundred times." Lu Bu smiled indifferently: "I have also heard of the overlord bravery, but it's a pity that he was born hundreds of years earlier than me, otherwise I really want to have a fight with him." ”

Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, is a martial god who has been praised through the ages.

Although after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, there were various criticisms and smears, his story is still widely circulated among the people.

Zang Ba and Sun Guan also have great admiration for this hero hundreds of years ago.

They didn't expect that Lu Bu would actually think of moving the governance office to Pengcheng, where Xiang Yu once set the capital.

Most of the 20,000 newly commissioned soldiers, as long as they still have their families, are dragging their families.

On average, there are three to five people in each household, and there are 100,000 people who have migrated to Pengcheng.

For the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the population was declining sharply, this migration was undoubtedly on a grand scale.

Lu Bu assigned tasks to the two generals, and the guards outside the tent reported: "Qi Yu is waiting, Chen Gong sent someone to ask for a meeting." ”

Chen Gong knew that Lu Bu had come to Qingzhou, and he would definitely not send someone over easily for something that was not particularly important.

"Let him in!" Lu Bu commanded outside the tent.
