Zhang Liao looked at Bao Xin: "Old Bao, you and Ah Pu are really good friends." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"What is a good friend?" Bao Xin was stunned for a moment, and his intuition told him that what Zhang Liao said was not a good thing, so he asked more: "But a good friend?" ”

Zhang Liao turned his head: "Hmm? It's good friends who eat peaches together and sleep together. ”

"Eat peaches?" Bao Xin was still a little dazed.

Zhang Liao shook his head and said seriously: "Have you heard of Mi Zi and Long Yangjun?" ”

"Zhang Wenyuan!" Bao Xin's face darkened suddenly.

Seeing that Bao Xin was about to go away in anger, Zhang Liao couldn't help but burst into laughter in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Old Bao Mo wants to be impulsive, let's talk about Yanzhou." ”

Bao Xin heard that Zhang Liao finally mentioned the matter, so he snorted: "How is the matter in Yanzhou?" ”

Zhang Liao sneered and said: "Lao Cao is stupid this time, when he attacked Xuzhou for the first time, I wrote a letter to dissuade him, stating the interests and disadvantages, and saying that there will be a catastrophe this year, this guy's brain is in the water and does not listen, it can be said that the war in Yanzhou is caused by his insistence on crusading against Xuzhou, and it is also the Yanzhou family dissatisfied with Cao Cao and secretly colluded to provoke it, since they provoked it, then someone must bear the consequences." ”

Bao Xin was silent for a moment and said: "This result is too disastrous, I don't know how many people will die in Yanzhou." ”

Zhang Liao snorted: "Not only that, Lao Cao can be said to be self-defeating this time, what is the use of transferring your soldiers and horses first, and there are only less than a thousand soldiers and horses left in Jibei Kingdom?" has already been picked by Zhang Chao against most of them, Lao Cao also colluded with Yuan Shao, and now Yuan Shao sent his eldest son Yuan Tan to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to the west of Qingzhou, eyeing the tiger, and colluding with Gongsun Zhan, the pseudo-Yanzhou assassin Shi Shan through the troops of Bohai County and the north of Qingzhou, I can't transfer many soldiers and horses at all, if it wasn't for saving you, I wouldn't have left Qingzhou. ”

"Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan colluded to plot against Qingzhou?" Bao Xin was shocked.

Zhang Liao said disdainfully: "It's not a good thing that Lao Cao did, otherwise how could he go to Xuzhou with peace of mind." ”

Bao Xin was speechless.

Zhang Liao said: "Qingzhou is now in ruins, since March, the drought has lasted for two months, and it will continue, I must be responsible for the people of Qingzhou, Yanzhou has nothing to do with the death of those who started the death, but the people are innocent after all, I will take two counties in Yanzhou as a place for the people to settle down, if Yuncheng has the heart, help me." ”

"The two counties?" Bao Xin looked at Zhang Liao.

"Taishan County and Jibei Kingdom." Zhang Liao said: "Jibei still depends on you, Taishan County I ordered Langya Zang to occupy it, he is originally a Taishan person, he can get twice the result with half the effort." ”

"Zang Ba?" Bao Xin exclaimed: "Zang Ba actually belonged to you? ”

He is a native of Taishan, so he naturally knows that Zang Ba is a hero, and he has a great influence in Taishan and Langya, and even Tao Qian can't be adjusted, but he didn't expect to listen to Zhang Liao's orders.

Zhang Liao looked at Bao Xin: "Is there any difficulty in stabilizing the northern country?" Remember, this time you are not allowed to participate in the war between Cao Cao and Lu Bu, and go all out to protect the peace of Jibei and Mount Tai, this natural disaster is likely to last for several years, and you need to recuperate. ”

"For years?" Bao Xin was shocked: "With such a natural disaster and man-made disaster, wouldn't Yanzhou have to kill half of the population?" ”

Zhang Liao sighed: "How do you know that Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Jizhou, and Guanzhong will all be affected, so they must recuperate, and it is likely that a large number of refugees will migrate at that time." ”

Bao Xin nodded solemnly: "If this is the case, I will persuade Meng De to make a temporary truce." ”

Zhang Liao shook his head: "Lao Cao is resisting, and it is the local forces of Yanzhou that are ravaging him, and no one can stop him." ”

Bao Xin was silent.

……

Cao Cao sent Cao Hong to Dongping to collect grain and grass, and he himself led the army through the Kangfu Road, passing through Shanyang County and Jiyin County, along the way those counties have closed the city, Cao Cao has no time to take care of it, and when he arrived at Jiyin County, Cao Cao's army rested a little.

At this time, someone came to report: "Bao Tao of the rear army has been rescued." ”

Although Cao Cao was still in an anxious mood at this time, his anger had been suppressed, and when he heard that Bao Tao was rescued, his face flashed fiercely, suspecting that it was Bao Xin's hand.

Thinking of Bao Xin's help to save him several times in the past, Cao Cao couldn't help but be silent, if his relationship with Zhang Miao was small, then Bao Xin only had kindness to him.

If Bao Xin also betrayed, then he should think about his own problems.

The soldiers were eating and taking a short break, Cao Cao looked at the map and pondered, for a long time, looked up at Xi Zhicai, and sighed: "In the past, the yellow scarves raged in Yanzhou, Chen Gong welcomed me as Yanzhou Mu, this person is quite resourceful, but I am afraid that this person is too famous and powerful in Yanzhou, so I have not let him enter the state capital, and I have stayed in Dongjun, I don't want Chen Palace to abandon me today, and welcome Lu Bu as Yanzhou Mu, it is really a Chen Palace, a loss is also Chen Palace, it is easy to gain, it is easy to lose, and this is also my fault." ”

Xi Zhicai sighed: "After all, the lord's foundation in Yanzhou is too shallow, and after several expeditions, he has not been able to stabilize the place, so there is chaos. ”

Cao Cao said angrily: "My first crusade against Xuzhou, Zhang Wenyuan had a letter to persuade me, I was thinking about Xuzhou at the time, did not think much about it, now I think about it, he has been reminded in the letter, this person really has foresight, he once said that there is a disaster this year, I tried to snicker, but now it has not rained for two months...... Could it be that there is a catastrophe? ”

Xi Zhicai muttered: "I have explored Zhang Wenyuan's past deeds, this person has never acted in order, but it can be seen that he is a person who loves the people and values righteousness, when he was in Xuzhou before, if the lord did not order the slaughter of the city, Zhang Wenyuan might not send troops." ”

Cao Cao was silent for a long time, he couldn't help but regret it in his heart, but it was not for the slaughter of the city, but for the previous underestimation of Zhang Liao, and he could only sigh at this time: "But I don't know if Zhang Wenyuan participated in this Lu Bu rebellion?" If he were involved, the battle would be difficult. ”

Xi Zhicai said: "Judging from the information obtained so far, Zhang Wenyuan did not participate, and the lord previously ordered Yuan Shao to contain Qingzhou, presumably he has no time to take care of him." ”

Cao Cao nodded, with a worried face: "This time Zhang Miao and Chen Gong rebelled, Yanzhou counties and counties were all subordinate, and the cities and cities that we passed through were all tightly closed, and I am afraid that when I arrived in Juancheng, I would fall into a situation of being caught between the front and back." ”

Xi Zhicai pondered for a moment and said: "Captain Li Gan is a member of the Li clan of the Cheng clan, and there are thousands of tribes in his clan, why not leave him here, not only to gather troops for the lord, but also to stabilize the place." ”

Cao Cao groaned and said, "That's feasible. ”

Immediately, Cao Cao ordered Li Gan to stay, taking Chengshi County as the second rear, and he personally led the army to continue to march towards Juancheng.

Outside Juancheng, Chen Gong and Zhang Miao's soldiers and horses did not arrive as scheduled, and Lü Bu, who was attacking Juancheng alone, heard that Cao Cao had returned to the army, and was afraid of falling into the dilemma of being caught in the front and back, so he immediately withdrew to Puyang.

After Cao Cao arrived in Juancheng, he immediately expressed Cheng Yu as the prime minister of Dongcheng and guarded Fan County, while he led his troops to Puyang immediately and started a big battle with Lu Bu.
