Since he agreed to Mo Shuyan's request, Zhou Yu had nothing to stay here, so early in the morning, he resigned and left Chang'an and returned to Changsha County.

After Zhou Yu left, Mo Shuyan went to report the matter to Xu Zisheng, saying that Zhou Yu had promised to convey the marriage to Sun Jian.

Xu Zisheng didn't suspect anything, he was very happy to order Jia Xu to prepare early, and he could marry Jiangdong at any time, this day, for Xu Zisheng, the sooner the better, now his forces and Cao Cao's forces, there is a gap, there is no chance to fight back, and after forming an alliance with Jiangdong, they can work together to get rid of Cao Cao.

However, everything was not as easy as Xu Zisheng imagined, taking advantage of this when Lu Bu led the army out to guard the various counties, Yuan Shu actually led the army up the river, led the army across the river, and had bypassed Hangu Pass and arrived at the land of Tongguan, which had the intention of taking Chang'an directly.

Tongguan was originally located in a remote corner, and there was natural danger on the side, and did not send too many soldiers and horses to garrison, now Yuan Shu's soldiers are making dangerous moves, I am afraid that Tongguan can not stop Yuan Shu's army for too long, the crisis has come, Xu Zisheng hurriedly called Mo Shuyan and Jia Xu to discuss together.

"As soon as Tongguan is broken, Huayin County, Weiyu County and Tongguan are the same, and there are not too many troops stationed there, and it is estimated that Yuan Shu can be stopped for seven days at most." Jia Xu bowed.

"Seven days."

Xu Zisheng's face was extremely ugly, and he roared and said: "Now that Lu Bu has led the army to Mianchi County to garrison, even if it is day and night, it will take at least ten days to catch back." ”

"We must hold out for three days." Jia Xu said in a deep voice.

On the third day, Mo Shuyan couldn't help muttering in his heart, just the current strength of Chang'an City, it is not easy to hold on for three days, you must know that ninety percent of the soldiers and horses have been sent out, I thought that Chang'an was in the mountains, as long as it was closed outside the pass, there would be no worries, who would have thought, Yuan Shu was so scheming, going up the river, so that Xu Zisheng was caught off guard.

Xu Zisheng naturally knew that three days would not be easy, turned his head to look at Mo Shuyan, who was speechless, and couldn't help asking, "Shuyan, what do you think?" ”

"Instead of approaching the city, it is better to take the initiative to attack and base the enemy in the area of Weiyu and Huayin." Mo Shuyan replied without hesitation.

"Never."

Jia Xu directly denied this approach and questioned: "If we lose in Weiyu and Huayin, we will completely lose hope, this approach is too risky, not to mention that there are no generals available in the city, how can we stop the menacing Yuan Shu." ”

"Who said there are no generals available, but you don't need to."

Mo Shuyan had a deep meaning, and vaguely mentioned Ti Linzhou, wanting Lin Zhou to regain control of the military and prove himself.

"You mean, Linzhou?" Xu Zisheng stared at Mo Shuyan and asked.

"Exactly."

"He's not asking about these things for a long time, I'm afraid he won't agree."

"I'm willing to go and invite it myself." Mo Shuyan said immediately.

Suddenly, Xu Zisheng's face looked a little better, and then he ordered: "If Lin Zhou is willing to lead the troops, do what Shuyan said, instead of letting them come to the city, it is better to take the initiative to attack and catch them off guard." ”

"Okay."

Mo Shuyan took the order and left directly.

Subsequently, Xu Zisheng instructed Jia Xu: "Immediately send a message to Lu Bu and order him to return to Chang'an, there must be no mistake, in addition, send Xu Zhu to lead a large army, cut off Yuan's postoperative road, dare to come and pay the price!" ”

"No."

............

Tongguan.

It has been reduced to a land of ruins.

The battle lasted only three hours, and the soldiers guarding Tongguan were slaughtered and left alive.

Riding his horse on the ruins, Yuan Shu said with a cruel smile: "What Cao Mengde can't do, let me do it." ”

"The lord is a great talent, and he deserves to own the world." Yang Hong said approvingly.

"Don't keep talking this nonsense, has the news that you went to investigate ever been detected?" Yuan Shu asked in a condensed voice.

The biggest factor why Yuan Shu dared to make dangerous moves was because Lu Bu was not in Chang'an, and he couldn't come back in a short time, so Yuan Shu dared to act like this.

"Lu Bu is still stationed in Mianchi County, and there is no movement, and I hope the lord will be relieved." Yang Hong bowed.

"That's good."

Yuan Shu, who was a little relieved, looked at the ruins around him, and without too much hesitation, he directly ordered: "Pass my order, immediately set off towards Huayin County, and kill Chang'an City as soon as possible!" ”

"No."

...............

In a wine shop in Chang'an City.

Mo Shuyan looked at Lin Zhou, who was drunk in front of him, a little helplessly, and didn't know what to do.

Seeing that Lin Zhou was about to lift the wine beside him and drink it, Mo Shuyan hurriedly grabbed it, and then stuffed a pot of tea into Lin Zhou's hand.

Lin Zhou, who was already drunk and couldn't tell the difference, lifted the tea and drank it bitterly, and after only a few sips, he was so angry that he threw the teapot over again, and scolded angrily: "What kind of wine to fool me, there is no smell of alcohol at all, don't I give you money?" Bring the wine. ”

In normal times, Linzhou is so noisy, the shopkeeper has already come to fetch the wine, but today there is Mo Shuyan here, and he doesn't dare to come over, he only dares to watch from afar, after all, Linzhou's shouting is not as useful as what Mo Shuyan, Xu Zisheng's henchman, said.

"Didn't you hear..... Belch..... Bring me the wine...."

"Bang."

Lin Zhou, who was so angry that he couldn't get a response, lost his temper and smashed the empty wine jar on the table everywhere, which really startled the shopkeeper and the other diners.

"I'll pay for today's losses, let them go." Mo Shuyan frowned slightly and said.

If Lin Zhou continues like this, it will not be good to hurt other diners.

As soon as he heard that Mo Shuyan was fully responsible, there was something unhappy about the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper, so he hurriedly invited all the diners out, leaving only Mo Shuyan and the crazy Lin Zhou to stay in the restaurant, and even the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper went out to avoid the limelight for a while.

"Don't go, don't go, I want wine, bring wine!"

Seeing that everyone had left here, Lin Zhou immediately got up and wanted to chase out, Mo Shuyan quickly pulled Lin Zhou back, picked up the teapot and splashed a pot of tea on Lin Zhou's face, in an instant, Lin Zhou stopped making a fuss, shook his head a few times from time to time, and his eyes gradually became a little clearer.

Seeing this, Mo Shuyan didn't know, this was the credit of the tea that Lin Zhou poured down just now, or the credit of the tea that was poured on his face, in short, Lin Zhou, he was finally sober, in that state just now, Mo Shuyan really didn't know how to talk to Lin Zhou.

Because Lin Zhou came to his senses and was happy, Mo Shuyan felt a little guilty, if it weren't for Qiao Wan and him, how could Lin Zhou become like this?
