There was silence.

Like the endless surface of the water, lonely like waves, but with the fall of a stone, it stirs up more than a thousand waves. The restlessness is like a wave of tide, which immediately detonates the atmosphere of the audience.

What is the purpose of being a soldier, what is the purpose of abandoning one's family and business, in Youzhou and other border counties to be knighted and rewarded, but like the people here in Xuzhou, and like such a troubled era now, the people are soldiers just to have a full meal and some military salaries to support their families, since they want to mix military salaries, then they will naturally value military merits, and in Liu Lan's army, meritorious service is the top priority, there are no exceptions, it is like the main general Guan Yu, why is it not from a pawn, Bai Chang a little bit through military merits to have today's glory, Therefore, as soon as Guan Yu's words came out, they immediately ignited the expectations in their hearts, letting them know that the future of all officers and soldiers in the Xuzhou Army was never dark, but full of light, and he, Guan Yu, was like a guiding light in the voyage, and when he saw him, he seemed to have found a new direction.

Guan Yu's cheers rang out as scheduled: "We joined the army because we were homeless, but it doesn't mean that we don't want to go home, but if there is chaos today, where is there a home?" What we have to do is not only to return the world to Langlang, but also to get more military merits for ourselves, and to be able to return to our hometown after the world is peaceful!

Perhaps some of us will unfortunately die, but what survives is not the sustenance between the robes, since we have left our homeland, since we know the bitterness, then we should pick up the swords and guns in our hands, and use the swords and guns in our hands to end this chaotic world.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The high morale of the Xuzhou army made the defenders of Huaiyin City instantly become like earth, and when they saw this scene in front of them at the head of the city, the Huaiyin defenders had already begun to pack their bags and escape, such a force was too terrifying. Moreover, his garrison of less than 5,000 people could not hold Huaiyin City no matter what, and the city was destroyed. It's better to get out sooner.

The guard general immediately went down the tower to escape before the Xuzhou army besieged the city again, and at the moment when he agreed to go down the tower. The Xuzhou scout scout came to Guan Yu at a gallop, and flew off the horse and said, "General, there are reinforcements rushing to Huaiyin!" ”

Guan Yu's heart sank, first of all, he didn't expect the reinforcements to come so quickly, and secondly, because he called back all the troops who deployed reinforcements yesterday, but the reinforcements came at this time, which not only disrupted his deployment, but also had an unexpected effect, which made Guan Yu not change his face!

"Damn it!" Guan Yu scolded. Then he asked, "Tell me quickly, how many Danyang troops are here!" ”

The scout was taken aback by the momentum emanating from Guan Yu, trembled, his tongue knotted, and said, "Come and ...... Combine...... It's not the Danyang Army, it's ...... It's ......"

"And what!"

"It's the Yangzhou Army!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Is it Yuan Shu?"

"No, it's Liu Xuan!"

Liu Lan, who rushed to Huaiyin overnight, snorted heavily after listening to Guan Yu's latest report, and said, "What is this Liu Miao going to do." What do you want to do, do you also want to come to Xuzhou to wade into troubled waters? Liu Lan, who was far away in Xuzhou City, just heard that Guan Yu had detained Cao Bao and others and came in the starry night, but he never thought that the real trouble was Cao Bao, and now he was dealing with Zhenrong at such a critical moment. What did Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou who was driven to Jiangdong by Yuan Shao, send troops to Guangling to intervene in this kick?

"Lord, there is one more thing, it is Ziyi who brought the troops this time!"

"Tai Shi Ci?" Hearing that it would be Tai Shi Ci, Liu Lan smiled bitterly. He never imagined that he would one day meet him in battle.

Guan Yu also smiled reluctantly and said: "My brother has already met him in private, and Zhen Rong has already joined Liu Xuan after retreating to Guangling. After hearing that the lord sent troops to Kaiyang, Zhenrong immediately offered Guangling to Liu Xuan. And later, if it weren't for Taishi Ziyi's words, Liu Miao would have already led a large army into Xu.

"And such a thing?"

"yes. If it weren't for the overseer he sent to Wu Jing to go south, Liu Miao would not have dispelled the idea of going north, and even had to send generals Fan Neng, Yu Mi, Zhang Ying, etc. to guard the Hengjiang River, when Likou, even he himself personally led the troops to guard Qu'a, but the strange thing is that he actually appointed Zhenrong, who retreated to Moling, as the Taishou of Guangling, and Xue Li guarded Jiangdu County. And this time we came with a large army, because Liu Xuan didn't dare to completely tear the skin with the lord, but he didn't want to lose Guangling, the springboard to the north, so he sent Tai Shici, who had an old relationship with the lord, hoping to protect Guangling, and this is also the reason why the last general did not dare to act rashly, after all, the matter is big, without the order of the lord, the last general will not dare to do it! ”

This matter is indeed a little difficult to do, don't say it's Liu Lan, it's Zhang Fei, Zhang Jaw, Xu Chu Zhen Yan and Zhang Zhao who came with him were also worried for a while.

If the war provokes, then it is the soldiers of the two major states to meet, and even Yuan Shu will come to intervene, with Yuan Shu's current strength, dealing with Liu Miao with him is definitely fighting with the tiger to gain more than it loses, and more importantly, he has just entered Xuzhou, and the people's hearts are unstable, at this time, the battle is too big to gain more than it loses, but if the Guangling problem is not solved, then the matter in Xuzhou will become more complicated, and no one can guarantee that Liu Miao will not come north with a large army, so now the situation in Xuzhou has become quite serious, Whether it is fought or not, it is not good for Liu Lan now!

"Lord, according to me, it doesn't matter if the other side is Ziyi or not, but now the situation is grim, that is, if we don't fight Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan may not fight us in the future, rather than being controlled by others, it is better to be controlled by others!" Zhang Fei scolded and said.

Zhen Yan got up and said: "If it's just more than 10,000 people and horses, it's easy to solve, but what we have to face is the Yangzhou army, although there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses of Ziyi in front of us, but if we move, then Moling will send troops in a steady stream, and more importantly, Yuan Shu, will he intervene sideways or sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?" Whether it is the former or the latter, it is a big trouble to fight, and the so-called not thinking about victory, thinking about defeat first, will not mention Yuan Shu. Let's just say that once the battle with Liu Miao is defeated, what should I do? If this battle reaches a stalemate, will it be used by those who have a heart? Even if it wins. Xuzhou will also hurt the muscles and bones, so Zhongzheng feels that today's situation. It's better not to move! ”

Liu Lan's heart immediately sank to the bottom. If this is the case, and the foundation of Xuzhou that was finally chosen is lost, then won't the efforts made this year or even the past few years become useless? When all the achievements are put into water, where can this world be their own place.

"Don't move?"

Guan Yu, who was beside him, was very dissatisfied with Zhen Yan's answer: "The army has spent a lot of money and food, is it just being consumed here?" As Yide said, even if we don't want to take the initiative to provoke now, Liu Miao will inevitably go north in the future, and I think I still agree with Yide's suggestion in this matter, since Liu Miao has been bullied to the doorstep. There's no reason why we shouldn't fight back! ”

Liu Lan was dizzy for a while, rubbing his temples to find a way, and Xu Chu, who had been listening, spoke out in a timely manner, saying: "The best way now is to turn the fight with Liu Miao into a jade silk, although this matter is too whimsical, but don't forget that Liu Xuan's biggest enemy now is not us but Yuan Shu, but now we don't have the same bargaining chips as Guangling to persuade Liu Xuan to withdraw his troops!" ”

Wake up the dreamer with a word, Liu Lan stood up and laughed. Said: "What Zhong Kang said is good, it doesn't matter if there are chips of the same value, as long as Jian Xianhe has a long and short technique, Liu Xian may not quit the army!" ”

"My lord. In fact, this matter is very simple, I don't think Jian Xianhe needs to come forward! ”

Liu Lan looked at Zhang Zhao, who had not spoken, and in the eyes of everyone, he was like an insurmountable mountain. It seemed like a small ditch that came out of his mouth, and his words immediately made the faces of everyone in the tent colorful. They are all disdainful and shameful.

"I wonder what Zibu's plan is?" Liu Lan came interested in this kind of occasion. There will be no one who has no purpose, and no one will be so stupid that they spit out nonsense without splendor.

"It's just a matter of taking advantage of the situation!" Zhang Zhao was confident and swore that he said.

"Excuse me?" Everyone was chanting these two words in their hearts, but they didn't know where to borrow this momentum for a while!

Zhang Zhao smiled and said: "Since Zhenrong borrowed Liu Xuan's matter, why didn't the lord borrow Yuan Shu's power?" This world is a child's festival with Yuan Shu and Liu Xuan, since Liu Xuan was driven to Moling by Yuan Shu, then Yuan Shu will watch Liu Xuan sit up step by step? Besides, although the lord and Yuan Shu are inseparable, after all, they are still in the southern forces, even if they take advantage of Yuan Shu, it is okay, and Liu Miao will not be able to obediently withdraw from the army at that time? ”

Liu Lan thought about it, but finally shook his head and said: "Zhong Zheng has mentioned just now, our real concern is not Liu Xuan, but Yuan Shu, this is a real tiger, if we go to war with Liu Xuan, or even join forces with him to fight with Liu Xuan, then the result will definitely be to help him cross the river, then the next one to be destroyed is us, rather than Yuan Shu who will not be able to defeat in the future, I would prefer to face Liu Xuan!" ”

Liu Lan has a clear understanding of Yuan Shu, although Yuan Shu was destroyed by Cao Cao during the Battle of Jizhou, and was beaten back to Shouchun, which has since dispelled the ambition of going north, but Yuan Shu, who turned his attention to the south, must not be underestimated, if it were not for the fact that he finally claimed that the emperor lost the hearts of the people in another time and space, he would not have died so quickly, even so, Cao Cao was able to destroy him in the end, not through the tripartite forces of Sun Ce, Lu Bu and Liu Bei?

Although Liu Lan only expressed his concerns, Zhang Zhao saw more content, the lord would never stay in Xuzhou alone, and from what he said just now, it was clear that Yuan Shu was regarded as an opponent, what does this mean, it shows that Liu Lan and Yuan Shu will tear their faces sooner or later and meet each other, since this is the case, then the opportunity will not succeed, and the situation will not be able to resolve the current crisis?

Zhang Zhao looked at him with scorching eyes and said, "Since the lord doesn't take advantage of Yuan Shu's power, why not form an alliance with Liu Xuan?" To force Liu Miao to give up Guangling, wouldn't it be the best policy! ”

"It's easier said than done!" Liu Lan didn't come back to his senses for a while, and said: "Abandoning Zhen Rong will only damage Liu Xuan's reputation, how can he agree!" ”

Zhang Zhaolang laughed and said, "Have you ever thought about it, what is the purpose of Yuan Shu's attack on Wu Jing of the Lujiang faction?" It is likely to be Xia Jiangdong, Liu Miao is worried that Yuan Shu crossed the river to send troops to guard the Hengjiang River and be a mouth, but at the same time, Liu Miao and my Xuzhou provoked, with his Jiangdong soldiers can fight with the two sides? In addition, I am for the Southern Alliance, when the two armies go together, Liu Miao will definitely die, if the lord can send an envoy to the state, the statement is powerful, I think Liu Miao will judge the situation and form a joint alliance with the lord! ”

"Unite with Liu Xuan to deal with Yuan Shu?" For a while, there was a lot of discussion, first weak and then strong, the ancient truth, how can there be a strong first and then weak, and the strong is still an ally, isn't this treacherous? And although Yuan Shu had the idea of Xuzhou, and Tao Qian was even more self-proclaimed Xuzhou Bo in the midst of Tao Qian's health, but since Liu Lan entered Xuzhou, he pointed the finger at Lujiang, and the lord just said that he was going to Jiangdong, at this time, he didn't unite with Yuan Shu to beat Liu Xuan, revenge him for collecting an arrow of revenge, and form an alliance with him, which is too incredible!

But everyone soon smelled other meanings, just now the lord said, I don't want to see Yuan Shu sit big, then limiting the growth of Yuan Shu has become the top priority, and for the ruined Yanyu and the barbaric Jiangdong, Shouchun Huainan is of great significance, and the lord wants to develop outward, a battle with Yuan Shu is inevitable, and an alliance with Liu Shu is particularly important.

"Just according to Zibu's words!" Liu Lan thought about it for a long time, and finally made a decision. Of course, the more important point is that he knows that Yuan Shu will not go down to Jiangdong at all, and the reason why he fought Lujiang is more to ease the hostility with him, and even to confuse himself, when he mistakenly thinks that Yuan Shu has no hostility, then he will suddenly give himself a fatal blow, compared to the rich Xuzhou, the tired Jiangdong is obviously not Yuan Shu's dish.

And if you can form an alliance with Liu Shu, it can be regarded as a good event, not only to prevent the Sun brothers from going to Jiangdong, but also to get foreign aid when fighting with Yuan Shu.

As for whether Di Rong will go to Moling again, it is not something that Liu Lan cares about, as long as Guangling is recovered, such a large source of grain is much more important than Di Rong's life or death.

Even if Zhen Rong gets in the way and destroys the two alliances, Liu Lan will not care, unless Yuan Shu is completely defeated, otherwise Liu Miao will definitely only have to ask for himself, and even the little overlord who is about to defeat Lujiang will not give Liu Miao any courage to tear the paper alliance with him.

Guan Yu on the side suddenly said: "Lord, since this matter has been decided, then it is time to send a person who can speak well to Moling, but Monk Xian is in Xiaopei, but I don't know who is suitable for this candidate?" ”

Liu Lan nodded, then looked around at everyone, and when he saw Zhang Zhao, he saw him stepping out of the ranks and said, "Zibu is willing to persuade Liu Zhao!" ”

"Zibu?" Liu Lan looked at him with some uncertainty, but it could be seen that he had a burning gaze, and immediately clapped his decision, and said, "Okay, then Mr. Lao Zibu will go away in person!" ”

Zhang Zhao retreated, and Liu Lan asked about the integration of the Danyang Army, although it deviated from the established plan, but this way in front of him was the best result.

"But what should the three of Cao Bao do?" This is Guan Yu's biggest headache, he asked in his letter to Liu Lan, whether the three of them will be executed secretly to prevent future troubles, but the answer he got is not to deal with it for the time being, which makes Guan Yu unable to understand the lord for a while, and when he ordered to kill the Danyang army, he decisively disappeared, is there something wrong with this?

Liu Lan said with a smile: "It seems that the conspiracy has been played too much, and even the mind has become narrow-minded, or that sentence is good, there is no room for people, how can it tolerate the world?" The three of them don't even have the power to fight in their hands, what kind of waves can they turn up? It's just to change the perspective, although the Danyang Army has been integrated, if you hear that the three of him were killed, it will inevitably lead to the death of the rabbit and the fox, but if I even keep these three people, then the world will only say that I Liu Lan is magnanimous, isn't it? ”

Even Cao Cao can not kill Zhang Xiu, how can I not even tolerate a little Cao Leopard? (To be continued.) )
