Lu Zhi was in the study, after freshening up, he swept away the fatigue of many days, and was shaking his spirit and was flipping through the books, outside the door, the guards happened to bring Chen Liutaishou to the front of the house.

"General, Xiahou Taishou has arrived."

"Well~~~ Come in, there's no one else ~~~~~ here" Lu Zhi's voice came out, old and majestic, this is Lu Zhi's style as an official, in front of his subordinates, he must always maintain a kind of prestige.

Pushing the door in, the young scribe gave a deep salute and said, "I have seen the general, in Xia Xiahou Lian, he is the acting Taishou here, and the general has any instructions, and his subordinates will try their best to handle them."

Lu Zhi looked at the young man in front of him, groaned and asked, "Why did the former Taishou pass away?" ”。

"Alas~~~ The old lady who took office was already frail and sickly, the yellow scarf was messy, and the fright was excessive, and the serious illness caused by it did not heal, thanks to the fast arrival of the general's army, otherwise this Chen Liu would probably be wiped out like the old lady Shou" Xiahou Lian was affectionate and beautiful, and Lu Zhi nodded again and again when he listened.

"Well~~~ Since that's the case, then you can act as an agent first, and after the war subsides, I will report to the imperial court to officially canonize you, you should be a member of the Xiahou family here, right? I heard that your Xiahou family is a foreign clan of the Cao family, and it can be regarded as a famous family, so this is too much to keep a position and not insult you."

Xiahou Lian bowed down and said, "Exactly, but although my Xiahou family is a foreign clan of the Cao family, they are not close, and now there is no intersection between the various places, and the general can value my Xiahou family so much, I am grateful."

"Hehehehe~~~~ Your ancestors are also a generation of famous generals, how can I not know it, you tell me about the situation in the city, and report the troops and grain to me in detail."

"Yes, Chen Liucheng's establishment has been around 30,000, but due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, most of them have been damaged in a few months, and there are only 134 people left at this time, but the grain and grass are quite sufficient, and the grain in the warehouse is 2,200 stones, and there is a secret warehouse outside the city, which also has a thousand stones of grain and grass, which is enough for the general's army, and the weapons and armor are also neat, and the casualties and soldiers are also repaired and used as much as possible, and the general can be requisitioned at any time."

"Okay~~~~ The most important thing at the moment is grain and grass, as long as the army has food, there are more Yellow Turban thieves and Kou, what is there to fear, the grain of the secret warehouse does not need to be moved for the time being, the grain and grass in the city are strictly guarded, and I will be requisitioned at any time."

Xiahou Lian received the order and said, "Yes, his subordinates must order people to take strict care of them, and there will never be a mistake in the middle, the general can rest assured."

Coming out of the City Lord's Mansion, Xiahou Lian went straight to the house, and as soon as he stepped into the door, he heard an exclamation in the house, and even the two brothers, who had always been calm, sighed continuously.

Xiahou Lian couldn't help asking, "Brothers, why is this?" Lu Zhi was just appeased by me, why did you start sighing so long again."

Cao Cao shook his head helplessly and said, "You don't know~~~~~ I just came back from Liu Xuande's house, this time I can be regarded as a long insight, and today I know what a real master is."

"Oh, what kind of person can make me so impressed by Brother Meng De?" Xiahou Lian asked curiously.

"Have you heard of Peach Blossom Valley, this person is the lord of Peach Blossom Valley, and now he is Liu Bei's sworn brother, his martial arts are unfathomable, I'm afraid that even if we join forces, I can't help it~~~."

"Peach Blossom Valley!! Are the rumors true? Xiahou Lian was also shocked in his heart.

Xun You on the side pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "The birth of Peach Blossom Valley indicates that the world is about to be chaotic, and the Yellow Turban Turmoil has hurt its roots, except for a few important towns, most of the people in the city have suffered heavy casualties, and the villages and towns in remote places are even more empty, even if this fluctuation is suppressed, I am afraid that the vitality of the Han Dynasty will not be able to recover for a while."

Xiahoudun frowned and said, "What Gongda said is very true, in my opinion, we should also prepare early, didn't Meng De say it, his Yuan family has moved back to his hometown, I think they have long had a heart of disobedience, and now they are secretly accumulating strength and waiting for the time."

"That's all for later, even if the world is in chaos, what can you and I do? He wants you and me to be on the head, but I'm afraid that if I come tonight, I will hang up in the city tomorrow morning, how can you and I be able to compete with such a master" Cao Cao waved his hand to interrupt everyone's discussion and said depressedly.

"Meng De, don't be presumptuous, although I haven't seen any Peach Blossom Valley Lord, but I am still very confident in my martial arts, I don't believe that he dares to break through thousands of troops alone, and the battlefield is not a stage for one person" Xiahou said dissatisfiedly, his brother will not be frightened.

Xun You was also shocked when he heard this, and nodded in response, "Yuan Rang is reasonable, Meng De, you and I are just forced by his momentum, and we are just confused for a while, now think about it, you and I may not have the power of self-preservation, his Peach Blossom Valley Lord is powerful, isn't it also the power of one person."

"Having said that, but with this person, I always feel uneasy in my heart, and if there is an incident in the future, this person must be a big trouble, is there no way to restrain it?" Cao Cao was still a little worried in his heart, and in the face of a master he couldn't compete with, he always wanted to find some means of self-preservation.

Xiahou Lian on the side thought for a while and said, "If Brother Meng De is not at ease, I can recommend someone, as long as you have the help of this person, no matter how powerful the master is, you will not be able to get close."

"And such people? Can this person be in Chenliuzhong? Cao Cao hurriedly asked.

Xiahou Lian shook his head and said, "No, but it's not too far, Brother Meng De has heard of Chivalrous Villa?" ”。

"Chivalrous Villa~~~~~ is called chivalry, but in fact it is a bandit, but what Gonglian said is this den of thieves?" Xun You's heart tightened, and he asked nervously.

Xiahou Lian nodded, "That's right, it's this chivalrous villa, but this owner is indeed a good man, and his martial arts are superb, I don't know how the martial arts of the lord of Peach Blossom Valley are, but among the people I have seen, this owner can be regarded as a master second to none."

Cao Cao pondered for a while and asked, "I have also heard of this chivalrous villa in Luoyang, but why should he help me?" ”。

Xiahou Lian smiled and said, "Others may have no choice, but I know a secret of their villa, as long as Meng De does this, he will definitely come out of the mountain to help."

"How can we do the fact that the people of Chivalrous Villa are stumped?" Cao Cao said anxiously.

"It's not difficult, this owner has a brother who met an enemy when he traveled in his early years, and this person is a distant relative of the Yuan family, as long as Meng De dares to get rid of this person and take his head to ask for it, I expect that this owner will never refuse."

"Why don't you dare, even if those stupid men of his Yuan family die, they won't be in the way, who are you talking about, where are you?"

"Taifu Yuan Kui has a wife and brother, who is now living in the Dongjun area, and is also a bully, this person's surname is Gao Minghong, according to my inquiry, he has now responded to Yuan Kui, and he has done his best to help the soldiers in the clan, if he wants to do it, he must do it as soon as possible, otherwise he will have no chance to meet with the Yuan family."

Cao Cao responded, "Okay, I'll leave now, I will definitely take the chivalrous villa for my own use."

Xiahou Yuan, who was sitting on the side, smiled slightly, got up and said, "Do you still need Brother Meng De to go in person for such a trivial matter, just hand it over to the brother, and he will return within five days."

That night, Cao Cao watched Xiahou Yuan gallop away with more than a dozen cronies, each with two fast horses, without stopping along the way, and went straight to Dongjun.

"Meng De rest assured, you can't believe in Miaocai's ability, and you will definitely take the head" Xiahoudun smiled, extremely confident.

Five days later, when Lu Zhi was still reorganizing his armaments, Cao Cao had already carried Gao Hong's head to the foot of the Chivalrous Villa.

"Miaocai is so fast, coming and going like the wind, I'm still worried that Lu Zhi's old thing will send troops in advance" Cao Cao stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the treacherous mountains, but he didn't hear the slightest fear in his mouth, and he was still praising Xiahou Yuan again and again.

"This is a quick method, these sergeants are all trained by me for many years, even if they can sleep on a horse, but after all, such people are a minority, I have practiced hard for many years, and I have trained these more than 500 people" Xiahou Yuan looked at the cavalry generals behind him and said proudly.

"Enough, Miaocai's manpower, will be used in the future, let's finish the things in front of us first, the terrain of this chivalrous villa is really treacherous, no wonder no one dares to come, I am afraid that thousands of troops and horses will be difficult to attack" Cao Cao looked up and looked into the distance, only to see that among the mountains and mountains, tall arrow towers were lined up, and if he wanted to rush in, I am afraid that the first thing to pass is this pass.

When everyone was talking, I saw a sentry of men and horses rushing out of the mountain, the first one, wearing a strong suit, a ribbon around his waist, and fast boots, dressed in a capable outfit, looking heroic.

"Well~~~ The chivalrous villa is really a good man, this person is by no means ordinary" Xun You nodded again and again on one side, and this young martial artist praised everyone repeatedly.

When Cao Cao and the others were admiring, the young man shouted loudly, "Who are you, this is the sphere of influence of the Chivalrous Villa, if there is something important, hand over the handbook, and let me ask the owner of the village to pass."

"This hero, I am the imperial court cavalry captain, I was ordered to exterminate the Yellow Turban thieves, I heard the prestige of the chivalrous villa, I came to visit, this is my meeting gift, please give it to the owner of the village to see" Cao Cao handed over a box and replied loudly.

"Well~~~~ people from the imperial court? Please wait a moment, I'll go Ming" The young man nodded, took the wooden box and turned away.

"This person didn't even check what was in the box, so he took it back and reported it, in case it was poisonous, what if it was poison."

"Hahaha~~~ It seems that he is very knowledgeable, and he is well-versed in the world, and this person's future is limitless" Cao Cao said with satisfaction, not to mention the owner of this place, it is the young man in front of him, which also makes him admired, if he can use it, it is not a big help.

Soon after, I heard the sound of gongs and drums in the mountains, and with the sound, a group of men and horses rushed out, led by a tall and strong man, with a big square face and heavy hair, which looked like a black bear from a distance.

When he came closer, Cao Cao and the others who were even more amazed in their hearts, with a figure two meters away, coupled with his appearance, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fierce god who came to the world.

The crowd was amazed, only to hear him open his mouth and exclaim, "Who sent this box?" Please also go up the mountain and talk ~~~~".
