Lü Bu issued a decree in Xuzhou to encourage fertility and farming.

Cao Cao led the army to leave Shouchun and advance to Yijing to station.

Li Dian came to Cao Cao's tent with a bowl of water in both hands.

The personal escort of Cao Cao was Xu Chu, the commander of the Tiger Guards.

He stopped Li Dian: "General Li, what is this going to do?" ”

"I'm here to bring water to my lord." Li Dian replied: "I heard from the local people that if you don't drink the water in the well, it can be said that it is a regret in this life. ”

"What's so good to drink from the well water?" Xu Chu replied, stretched out his hand and took the bowl: "General Li, don't listen to the nonsense of the people, in case a spy poisons the well water......

He was about to pour out the well water, when Cao Cao's voice came from the tent: "Man Cheng is sending water?" Why don't you come in yet? ”

Li Dian pursed his lips at Xu Chu and took the bowl in his hand.

Xu Chu also pursed his lips and handed the bowl back to him very simply.

Holding the well water, Li Dian entered the tent.

Cao Cao sat in the tent and beckoned to him: "Man Cheng has a heart, if you don't send water over, I also plan to let the guards fight some." ”

Zhong Kang is also worried that the well water is poisonous. Putting the water in front of Cao Cao, Li Dian said with a smile: "I was almost poured by him." ”

"Zhongkang is just too careful." Cao Cao said: "Man Cheng sent water over, he must have tasted whether it was poisonous." I'm not at ease with others, am I not at ease with Mancheng either? ”

Picking up the bowl, he drank a well water and smacked his mouth twice: "The water is sweet and very refreshing!" ”

"I didn't bring water because it was sweet." Li Dian said: "There is also an allusion to this well. ”

Hearing that there was an allusion in the well, Cao Cao was interested: "Mancheng might as well talk about it." ”

Li Dian retold the allusions he had heard from the old man.

Cao Cao stroked his beard: "This allusion is good, it can be promoted." When people live in the world, they should be based on righteous words. ”

"That's what I thought, so I brought water to my lord." Li Dian said: "I think the name here is good, is the lord ......?"

"You mean to camp here, in the name of this place, to recruit Huainan heroes?" Cao Cao asked.

"Most of my thinking is not very mature, and it is still up to the Lord's decision." Li Dian lowered his head, how dare he make decisions for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao thought for a moment: "Your proposal is good, go and invite Jia Wenhe, I have something to say to him." ”

Li Dian took the order.

Walking out of the tent, he raised his eyebrows proudly at Xu Chu, who was standing outside.

The two colleagues have been around for a long time, and they have long been familiar with each other.

Xu Chu didn't bother to pay attention to him, pouted and rolled his eyes.

Li Dian was ordered to find Jia Xu, and it didn't take long for him to lead people over.

Jia Xu entered the handsome tent, and he was about to follow up, but Xu Chu grabbed him.

Leaning into Li Dian's ear, Xu Chu asked in a low voice: "The lord called Jia Wenhe to come over, are you going to do something to Lujiang?" ”

"Lujiang is just a small place, isn't it possible for the lord to fight Liu Xun at any time?" Li Dian said: "It's just to fight Lujiang, and it's not enough to specifically ask Jia Wenhe to discuss. ”

Xu Chu nodded.

Li Dian turned around to drill into the tent, but was dragged by him again: "What are you going to do?" ”

"The lord asked me to invite Jia Wenhe, I invited someone to come in and resume my life." Li Dian asked blankly, "But what are you going to do?" ”

"You also know that the lord is talking to Jia Wenhe, what are you doing in there?" Xu Chu dragged him: "Don't go in again and be blasted out, make a shame." ”

Xu Chu followed Cao Cao all day long and understood Cao Cao's thoughts best.

Li Dian thought that this was indeed the case, so he no longer insisted on following up with Shuai Account.

Sure enough, Cao Cao didn't beckon him in.

Jia Xu entered the tent, and Cao Cao picked up the water on the table: "Does Wen He know where this bowl of water came from?" ”

"The lord specially asked, it should have been dug out of the righteous well." Jia Xu replied.

"Do you know the allusion to Yoshii?" Cao Cao asked.

"I've heard of it." Jia Xu said: "This allusion can be used by the lord. ”

"I'm thinking the same way, but how can I invite Liu Xun here?" Cao Cao said: "When the army comes, Liu Xun is entrenched in Lujiang and can't come out, so he has to think of a way to succeed." ”

"I have to go to Hefei." Jia Xu replied: "The lord's garrison of Yijing is nothing more than giving me a reason to speak. ”

"What are your plans?" Cao Cao asked.

"Nothing to do." Jia Xu replied: "When I see Liu Xun, of course I will convince him, and please believe me!" ”

"It's not that I don't believe you." Cao Cao frowned slightly: "I'm just worried about ......"

"Don't worry, lord." Jia Xu replied: "My temperament lord should understand, if there is danger, I will not go easily. ”

Staring at Jia Xu, Cao Cao asked, "Why is Wenhe so confident?" ”

"General Mancheng killed Li Mao, the lord garrisoned Yijing, I don't have the confidence anymore, how can I dare to see Liu Xun?" Jia Xu said: "I thought about pretending to be a businessman to enter Hefei, and when I saw Liu Xun, I naturally had something to say to him. ”

"No matter what, Wenhe must return safely." Cao Cao got up and walked in front of Jia Xu and took his hands: "Wenhe's life and death determine the fate of Hefei, once Liu Xun dares to be unfavorable to you, I will definitely let Hefei bleed like a river, and no one will survive!" ”

"I will keep in mind the righteousness of the Lord!" Cao Cao's words made Jia Xu feel grateful.

Li Mao was killed, and the morale of Cao's army was of course high.

On the other hand, after the Battle of Yijing, Liu Xun was restless like an ant on a hot pot all day long.

In the backyard of the Hefei government, Liu Xun, who had just finished the court discussion, called several confidants to the study.

The door was shut, and the guards were ordered to keep watch and not to let anyone approach.

There are only four staff members he invited to the study, all of whom are henchmen who have followed him to take care of Lujiang over the years.

Liu Xun looked around at the four of them: "Li Mao is the first fierce general in Lujiang, and he was actually killed by Li Dian under Cao Cao." If you don't think of a way to deal with it, you and I will become prisoners sooner or later. Do you have a way to retreat from the enemy? ”

"Cao Cao is powerful, and there are countless fierce generals under his command, I'm afraid we are not opponents." One of them said with a look of embarrassment: "I think Taishou should have made plans early. ”

"What are you going to do?" The other person glared at him fiercely: "If there was no first emperor, Taishou would not be today, and now that Huainan has been taken away by Cao Cao, Your Majesty can only rely on Lujiang, is it possible that we should turn our backs on Your Majesty?" ”

This person spoke, and the other two didn't dare to say more, and the person who spoke first quickly shut up.

Their cognition is similar, and they all want to persuade Liu Xun to serve Cao Cao.

However, there was one present who was loyal to the Yuan family in Huainan.

In order to avoid trouble, the servants had to keep silent.

Finding that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Liu Xun said: "I didn't say that I wanted to serve Cao Cao, so we discussed here to protect Your Majesty from being harmed." ”
