It was getting dark, and in a dim street in the south of Guangyang City, a fast horse, under the eyes of the people who were chatting leisurely after dinner, came to a house that had lived in a few days ago.

The big man dismounted and chatted with the guards guarding the door, and hurried in, and soon after, the lights flickered in the spacious courtyard, and in the midst of the chirping of insects, dim figures walked and sat on the stone piers, and the sound spread in the somewhat stuffy air.

"Liaodong Taishou...... Interesting. ”

In an intriguing tone, Gongsun Chan smiled.

As Xun Yu expected, that day he went back to Youbeiping to gather his troops and horses and prepare to go south, when the dark line reported that Liu Zheng and Yu Zhuqi had a conflict, and went to find Kebineng, Gongsun Zhan has been remotely controlling the trilogy, staying here by himself, watching the possible changes in the situation on Liu Zheng's side.

When Xun Yutuo sent him a horse with different equipment, he had no reason to leave, and let the 10,000 horses who had already arrived in Yuyang County and were about to march to Bohai County, Jizhou, camp on the spot.

"Lord, what is he Xun Wenruo going to do? Is it really Liu Zheng's absence, what does he mean? Liaodong Taishou ...... Liu Boan really dares to give it, aren't these two people really talking on paper and self-righteous? Provoke Gongsun Du...... Hmph, if Gongsun Du repairs a letter and invites you to Jixian County, this Youzhou ......"

In Yan Gang's somewhat contemptuous laughter, Gongsun Chan smiled and said, "Haven't you heard of it?" The three types of equipment for the cavalry, how much I want, how much Deran has. That is to say, there must have been more than 20,000 of these equipment. Zhang Mancheng and Yang Feng's people together are 320,000 people...... I'm conservative, and the elite counts him at 50,000...... 50,000, plus the horses with those 20,000 equipment, we may really be killed. ”

Yang Feng had 20,000 elites there to inquire clearly, at this time, Gongsun Zhan directly shrunk Zhang Mancheng's 300,000 people to 30,000, Huang Shao smiled loudly, and then thought that when he was a moth thief in the past, it seemed that there were many people, and it was really vulnerable when it was converted, and he lost interest, just thinking about Zhang Mancheng's time in Wancheng and the imperial army for a long time, after that, most of the 150,000 people in Wancheng were killed without escaping, and it should not be much of a problem to scatter and want to gather 10,000 or 20,000 people, plus after that, Qingzhou has definitely practiced, maybe... … 30,000 people really underestimated each other.

What's more, with Liu Zheng, there are only 30,000 people, and they are really a rabble?

"Then I have to wait to be captured, this Youzhou is so big, can there be no place for me to run and fight and retreat? I'm in a hurry, if I really unite with Gongsun Du's 20,000 or 30,000 people, what can I do with those dead Confucians? ”

Yan Gang was still a little disdainful, and Gongsun Chan snorted, "You brainless." In the past few days, I have been busy and running around, I have wronged you, but you are so hostile to Deran? If I don't agree to the matter of going south, can he call the shots? If I defraud him out of 20,000 sets of equipment, I will definitely be able to increase my strength, and my brothers will benefit from this, and there will be fewer deaths in battle. Just don't ...... I gave thousands of sets to Liu Bo'an, isn't this the crime of privately building weapons? Deran can't rely on me in the future...... Of course, if he really has the heart to oppose Liu Bo'an, support the army and stand on his own, or go south to seek refuge with others, I can't help him. This is something I am a little self-righteous......" He remembered Liu Bei's relationship with him.

Yan Gang was stunned, and then some generals were suspicious: "Since Xun Wenruo has asked for a position of Taishou, I'm afraid that Liu Bo'an already knows about the private weaponry, right?" It is impossible to say that Liu Bo'an, who exchanged this thing, changed his mind. Moreover, this horseshoe is a thing that benefits all people, and in real terms, it is not actually armed...... However, if Xun Wen dares to eat such fat meat by himself, he can't eat it, and Liu Boan must know about it. ”

"That's it. Whether this matter is big or small, it all depends on Liu Boan. Today, Deran's ownership is not important. The important thing is, do I wait for it to change? If Xun Wen is going to make a fuss with my talisman, if I don't give it, I won't be able to improve my combat power as soon as possible, and if he is dedicated to others, it will be unfavorable to me. But if I give the talisman, I will give him absolute command of 3,000 men...... He's forcing me to surrender my military power. As soon as 3,000 people break the ice, the hearts of the remaining 7,000 people want to melt just around the corner...... Even the foundation of my layout in Youbeiping, he can take it away, and this thistle hou should not be the same. ”

Gongsun Chan said, was silent for a moment, and laughed meaningfully, "I never thought that Deran really fell in love with a good family." Just a few words put me in a dilemma...... It's just that the teacher is still protecting De Ran, and I want to be embarrassed to take it by force......"

Huang Shao seemed to think of something, and hesitated: "Lord, since it is difficult to decide, why don't I wait to find a son to do the father......

"You can't go if you don't find me?"

Gongsun Zhan shook his head, "I think he Xun Wenruo must be planning before acting." Otherwise, his mother-in-law was held hostage by Zhao Xin at the foot of the mountain in the past, if he was really that kind of reckless personality, he wouldn't even dare to appear alone, why would he be so tough in front of me? His arrogant words, it is impossible to rely on the absurd position of Liaodong Taishou, there must be other reliance, but he should also know that I can't find a teacher to ask for a way to get these equipment. But if I go, where is the teacher now? Kebineng......"

Huang Shao was stunned for a moment, and Yan Gang also frowned and said: "Xiang Zhuang dances the sword, which is intended for Pei Gong?" ”

"But who is Pei Gong?"

Gongsun Chan asked rhetorically, was silent for a moment, and then said, "No, it should be said that he wants to borrow a knife to kill people...... Neither is it right...... It's like...... It's like we are all tigers and wolves, and this time, he is plotting to encroach on each other with Liu Bo'an, Gongsun Du, and Kebi...... This is intended to drive the tiger and the wolf...... Good strategy. ”

The voice was low and weak in the dark, and the night breeze caressed it, and the pores of Yan Gang's body couldn't help but stretch out, and there was a chill, and then he sneered: "The lord is too high to look at Xun Wenruo!" He is just a scholar, he is young and has no experience at all, even if he adds Liu Deran, Zhang Mancheng, Zhang Yan and others, how can he have such insights? How dare they underestimate us? Can you afford to play? If you anger us, aren't you afraid to play with fire**? ”

"But Xun Wenruo still has Ciming Gong behind him...... Behind Deran, there is still a teacher...... These two adults are not ordinary people. ”

Gongsun Chan said, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Forget it, my scalp is numb." If you continue to think about it like this, you will lose all your fighting spirit......"

He looked at Huang Shao and Yan Gang, "You say, follow Xun Wenruo's thoughts, or go to the teacher?" Don't even want anything, just go south...... Well, I cheated out the equipment, turned around and called all the 10,000 people stationed there, and waited for the sour jujube to help Deran promote it, so that people would remember this kindness...... Doesn't that seem like a bad thing? Best of both worlds? ”

This is somewhat a scoundrel, Yan Gang hesitated, "Then this favor ...... Also, at home in western Liaoning...... If Xunwen really sent 300,000 people into Youbeiping, he was afraid that the Lingzhi area of Liaoxi would also be able to install people. is controlled by others, or in other words, he has the opportunity to protect his family, and if he owes him a favor, it is not a good thing for the lord. ”

Huang Shao said irritably: "How do I think, how can this matter be the benefit of Xun Wenruo?" ”

Gongsun Chan waved his hand, "Look! That's it. As soon as the equipment comes out, he will definitely have the benefits, but the question is, should we take advantage of the benefits he has gathered in advance, and how can we expand the benefits we get...... Where to go, you say......"

Seeing that the two hesitated, Gongsun Zhan shook his head and said: "No, I have to contact Xun Xiuruo or Xun Youruo another day, on the day of the wedding of these two people, I and I are also in love...... You rough people, you don't have someone to make up your mind for me! ”

Huang Shao and Yan Gang laughed a few times, Huang Shao thought for a while, and said: "Lord, if you really want to find the Xun family brothers, Huang thinks, why don't you go to Shanggu?" For today's plan, I have to befriend Liu Deran, and the whereabouts of the Xun family are. I'm only going to a few hundred people, and I may not really mess with Kebineng, so I want to come...... Liu Deran wouldn't want to see us fall into trouble. ”

Yan Gang seemed to suddenly think of something, and said slightly: "Lord, Yan thought it was ...... Possible...... Uh, that's ......"

Gongsun Chan turned his head in confusion, "I have something to say." ”

Yan Gang hesitated and looked at the oil lamp in his hand, and some insects fell into the lamp oil and floated slowly motionless, "Zi Gangong is alive, you can't do anything...... If you are stained with Xun's family, you ...... Lord, since you want to make a clear distinction with Liu Deran, you don't want to owe him a favor, and you feel troublesome, why don't you send someone to cut the grass...... cough, don't worry, the lord will be clean and tidy in this matter, as soon as he dies, Xun Wenruo will naturally have to go another way, won't the lord ......"

Gongsun Zhan didn't even have time to react, so Huang Shao changed color and said: "This matter is not appropriate, how can Liu Deran be so easy to kill!" If the Assassins are captured, they are afraid of ......"

"You're afraid! You're all scared! ”

Gongsun Chan suddenly shouted.

Huang Shao and Yan Gang were suddenly silent, but they didn't know how to explain it.

The atmosphere couldn't help but fall silent, and after a long time, Gongsun Chan suddenly walked towards the courtyard gate, Huang Shao Yangang glanced at each other, and saw Gongsun Zhan's dark figure stopped at the courtyard gate, turned his head and said, "Don't you want to go with me?" ”

The two immediately followed, and they didn't ask the reason, when a guard led the horse, Gongsun Chan whispered a few words to the two, Huang Shao and Yan Gang were stunned, and Gongsun Chan had already gotten on the horse.

The whip waved, followed by a long sigh, and the white-robed and white horse, alone, headed out of the city.

……

Ever since he set up camp nearby, this grassland has been much more lively.

Wuhuan Xianbei is noisy from time to time, Liu Zheng and others persuade from time to time, Kebi Neng and Bun Dun are also urging Liu Zheng not to wait for Xun Yu to come over and make a decision quickly, one is anxious to go back to the big sacrifice, the other is not coming to see the difficult building, even the messenger goes and does not return, some are restless, and even Zhu Ming and others and the brothers under them, because they have nothing to do, they are also a little relaxed, and even some people secretly hook up with Wuhuan women, or sneak back to look for flowers and ask willows, one by one, as the weather gets hotter and hotter, they all seem upset and irritable a lot, There are also a lot of troubles and misunderstandings.

Fortunately, with Xun You by his side, with Xun You's support, Liu Zheng simply excused himself and rejected those bullshit things.

It's just that I don't know what Xun You said to Lu Zhi, after inspiring Lu Zhi and Liu Zheng about Gongsun Du that day, Lu Zhi and Liu Zheng set off with Tai Shici, Tian Chou and others the next day, but they left the Song family, Ran Lian, and Lu Yu The three women and children were left.

In the past two days, Liu Zheng "couldn't afford to be sick", and he was really accompanied by a girl's family today, watching the little girl be very sensible and take care of herself meticulously - although it was also with the Song family and Lu Yu, Liu Zheng really couldn't understand Lu Jian, this guy was able to restrain that instinct, and let such a gentle girl don't want it, just because he despises the other party's background.

What perseverance and paranoia it takes.

It's a little scary to think about, but it's even more terrifying.

Liu Zheng watched him smile more and more in the past two days, asked several times, but got no response, until the evening of the third day after Xun You came, as the last group of brothers who changed horses came back, two women entered Xun You's felt tent for a long time and were sent back, Liu Zheng just listened to Zhang Fei with a little obscene speculation, Xun You came in and said the intention of the two women, and the real reason of the matter.

It was also this evening that Liu Zhengcai suddenly realized that this guy, who had always been with light and dust in front of him, was essentially the first mastermind of Cao Cao in history...... This kind of conspiracy made Liu Zheng a little frightened.

"You...... Earnest? ”

When he knew the truth of the matter, Liu Zheng and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stayed in the felt tent at the same time, some of them were on pins and needles, especially Liu Zheng, who asked Xun Yu with a serious face for the third time.

"Everything has been done, what is serious or not serious......"

Xun You looked helpless.

"......"

Liu Zheng opened his mouth, and found that his body was trembling, looking at his outstretched hands, his face was sluggish, "Are you sure you want me to Liwei next?" ”

Xun You rolled his eyes and had nothing to say, and when he saw that Liu Zheng was staring at him, he could only say again angrily: "Eight people have fought 50,000 people, and now there may be only 10,000 or 20,000 people at most." What are you afraid of! As long as you kill them, they will be scattered, and they will be able to stop it. At that time, your reputation will completely shock Youzhou, and even shock Huaxia, why don't you think about the benefits, and I haven't thought about it......"

Liu Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, you have thought about it, when the time comes, Kebi can not help me, and the other party will also have some scruples...... You also brought me Qingyun's equipment, let Zhu Ming and Wen Renchang guard back and forth for the past two days, and when the people come to war, let them help Qingyun put on horse armor. My Armor...... Yes, the new one, you also asked someone to bring it. Real fish scale armor, armor, basin collar, helmet, ...... There's everything! ”

Liu Zheng said, his face suddenly became bitter, "Brother, why bother? Is it easy for us to recharge? This time, I'm here to pick up a leak, and if you let people know, you'll have to kill you. ”

"Then kill them."

Xun You said disapprerovantly: "Let the Hu people spend more time electing the leader, fighting for territory, and ...... by the way."

"We know. We all know that...... Is it necessary to buy time for my big man? ”

Zhang Fei was silent for a long time holding the snake spear, and his body trembled slightly at this time, "You can't change the way in a gentler way, or let me know earlier, so you can be prepared...... Killing the Dead Building...... You lunatic! He also pretended to be in the name of Badun ......"

Xun You looked out of the felt tent with some humility, "Be quiet...... Isn't it watertight? ”

"Yes, while people are suspicious, they also suspect that someone is impersonating...... But it was still us who were besieging, and it would be half a day away...... You ......"

Zhang Fei said, Guan Yu suddenly stood up, "I'll sharpen the knife......" and then walked out of the door.

Zhang Fei looked at Liu Zheng, and then at Xun You, who was still flushed with excitement, and also walked out.

Liu Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "Are you sure that the water does not leak?" ”

"Anyway, you can't blame us."

Xun You said, walked over and hugged Liu Zheng's shoulders, "Deran, make the best use of things, and make the best use of people's talents...... As you say, I just want to test the limits of you and me...... Don't shake, or ...... I'll call you in and let you relax? ”

Liu Zheng glared and said angrily: "It's better for you to lie down - wait for the cane to serve!" ”
