Chapter 104: Striking the West

readx;?“ Childe, what's going on? Seeing Cao Shuang's brows furrowed, Qi Fei stepped forward and asked in a low voice. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Cao Shuang sighed softly and handed the letter in his hand to Qi Fei, "All this is from Xu Shu's hand, he wants to take the Son of Heaven north and join Xianbei." ”

"So what should we do?" Qi Fei quickly finished reading the letter in his hand and looked at Cao Shuang in surprise.

"Order the unscrupulous people along the Yellow River to temporarily detain the boats along the river. Mobilize troops and horses from various states and counties to tightly control the coast. Cao Shuang patted the dust off his body, and then turned over and got on the horse.

Qi Fei stood in place, hesitating.

"What's wrong?" Cao Shuang saw Qi Fei's hesitation and embarrassment, and asked.

"It's easy to order bad people everywhere, but isn't it overstepping your authority to order the states and counties to mobilize troops and horses?" Qi Fei hugged his fist at Cao Shuang and said, very embarrassed. The transfer of troops and horses in various states and counties, except for Cao Cao, is the governor of each state and county, and bad people have no right to interfere.

Cao Shuang patted his forehead, then took out a pile of white paper from his arms, took out a few and handed them to Qi Fei, "Write the order ordering the mobilization of soldiers and horses on it, and it will be forwarded by bad people from all over the country." ”

"What is this?" Qi Fei took the blank paper in Cao Shuang's hand, and after reading it, his face was full of surprise. I saw that on the white paper, not a word was written, but it was covered with the seal of the Prime Minister's Mansion. In other words, all Cao Shuang's orders now are Cao Cao's orders.

Cao Shuang and his entourage left Puyang City and headed north.

"Strategist, this is the information I just received." An attendant half-knelt behind Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang turned around to take the cloth in the soldier's hand.

Zhuge Liang waved his hand, and the attendant retreated.

"Yuan Zhi (Xu Shu table), such a big hand, you hide it from me so hard." Zhuge Liang finished reading the content on the cloth, a trace of unhappiness flashed on his face, and he put the cloth on the oil lamp and lit it, until the cloth turned into ashes, Zhuge Liang did not leave the study.

Hurrying all the way, Cao Shuang and his party rushed to Guandu in advance. Guandu is the hub of communication with HBHN and is also one of the largest ferries on the Yellow River. Cao Shuang took Guandu as the center, controlled all the ships upstream and downstream of Guandu, and if the convoy of the Son of Heaven was going to Youzhou, he had to cross the Yellow River.

When the convoy of the Son of Heaven was still a hundred miles away from Guandu, Xu Shu suddenly ordered to stop advancing. Jia Xu and Xun Yu were invited to get out of the car, Xun Wu came to the two of them and arched his hand and said, "Two, my master asked me to come to pass the word, and there will be a good show for the two of you to watch." ”

Jia Xu smiled faintly and did not speak. Xun Yu didn't want to see Xun Wu very much, and turned around not to look at him.

I saw that Xu Shu's men were waiting for the battle, as if they were facing a great enemy. Jia Xu squinted his eyes, thinking in his heart, could it be that someone from Xuchang intercepted it, but it was not like it.

"Shoot the arrows!" With Scarface's order, one hundred and ten archers fired their arrows together, targeting the canopy of the trees around the convoy. Jia Xu secretly screamed that it was not good, this was because Xu Shu had found the man in black who was following them. From time to time, someone falls from the canopy, and even if he is not killed by a bow and arrow, it is more than good luck to fall from such a high canopy.

After a round of arrow rain, Xu Shu's subordinates put away the longbow in their hands, drew their blades from their waists and walked towards the man in black. Scarface tossed the axe in his hand, only to hear a pop, and a man in black slipped down a tree.

The hand axe slashed right into the chest of the man in black, and blood was gushing. Through the face towel, blood continued to ooze from the mouth of the black-clothed man. The man in black held a dagger and fought with Xu Shu's men, fierce and fierce, although he was injured, he had the upper hand.

When the man in black stabbed the dagger into the throat of one of Xu Shu's men, a man with a spear came to the man in black from behind Scarface. Without saying a word, the gunman stabbed at the man in black, and the spear flew up and down like a poisonous snake spitting letters. The man in black screamed so quickly, and withdrew his dagger to resist the spear, but he was still a step too slow, and the spear had already pierced into his chest.

Scarface stepped forward to retrieve the hand axe, wiped the blood on the man in black, then put the hand axe back into the axe bag, and said lightly, "After following for so many days, it's time to rest and rest." ”

When Jia Xu saw this, the muscles on his face kept trembling, and he tried his best to restrain himself. Xun Yu faintly saw that the corners of Jia Xu's eyes were moist. Although I don't know who these black-clothed people are Jia Xu, they must have something to do with Jia Xu.

Xu Shu rode his horse to Jia Xu and Xun Yu's side, sat on the horse and bowed his hand to the two, "Mr. Jia, I have offended a lot, forgive me." Please get in the car, we're on our way. ”

Xun Yu helped Jia Xu to get on the car, only to see Xu Shu's subordinates enclosing all the carriages with black cloth, and the big banner with the word Cao on a black and red background was hung on both sides of the carriage and fluttered in the wind. The direction of the convoy has also changed, from north to east. On the side of the convoy, the driver rattled the whip in his hand, and the horse was in pain, and the speed was more than doubled.

Jia Xu wiped the corners of his eyes to calm himself down, and his voice became even hoarse, "We all underestimated Xu Shu." ”

"What do you mean?" Xun Yu's mind is very chaotic now, and he can't think normally at all.

From the beginning, Xu Shu knew that someone was following him, and he used the old man to pass the fake news to Xuchang that he was going north to meet Xianbei. At this time, I am afraid that Cao Shuang has already laid a net in the Guandu area. Then Xu Shu did not go north, but south. Jia Xu sorted out the clues in his mind and said them unhurriedly, just like the two of them just now.

"To the south? Where to? Xun Yu looked at Jia Xu puzzled and asked.

"Jingzhou, Liu Bei." Jia Xu tapped twice with the cane in his hand and looked south.

"You mean?" Xun Yu clicked through Jia Xu, and in an instant, he suddenly opened his mouth, and he understood everything.

Jia Xu looked at Xun Yu's eyes and nodded, "Yes, go to sea from Qingzhou, go upstream in Jiangdong, and go directly to Jingzhou." ”

From the very beginning, everything was Xu Shu's trick. instigated Xianbei and other foreigners to disturb Youzhou, and then used Xun Yu to take the Son of Heaven to escape, passed the false news to Xuchang through Jia Xu, and then changed the route of progress, took a boat from Qingzhou to the sea, entered the Yangtze River from Jiangdong, and went upstream to Jingzhou. Bringing the Son of Heaven into Liu Bei's hands increased Liu Bei's political strength. When the Son of Heaven leaves, Xuchang will be in chaos, Sun Quan has been eyeing the north, and Guan Yu of Jingzhou has always wanted to go north.

"It's a good one to kill two birds with one stone, and the sound is striking the west." Xun Yu figured out the joints, and was very worried about Cao's situation at this time.

"The Son of Heaven is just a chess piece." Jia Xu said thoughtfully.

Xun Yu spit out a mouthful of thick turbidity and bowed his head silently.
