At night, in a makeshift tent set up in Guandu, Cao Shuang studied the map by candlelight. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Qi Fei sat on the side, and from time to time someone sent information from all over the place into the tent. Cao Shuang's right hand kept drawing on the map, constantly calculating, trying to find out the specific route of Xu Shu's advance.

"Childe, take a break." Qi Fei poured out the tea that had cooled in Cao Shuang's teacup, replaced it with hot tea, and said with concern.

Cao Shuang, who was very engaged, didn't hear what Qi Fei said, and when Qi Fei turned around and wanted to add hot water to the teapot, Cao Shuang suddenly opened his mouth, "If you were Xu Shu, how would you choose a route?" ”

Qi Fei poured hot water into the teapot and said without thinking, "Of course, it's the one that hinders the least." ”

"By land, there will be no shortage of obstacles." Cao Shuang smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"When this Xu Shu came from Liu Bei, he said very little. Later, he disappeared in Guanzhong, but he didn't expect such a big thing to happen? Qi Fei put the teapot on the table and sat back in his seat.

"There are few obstacles, waterways, Liu Bei." Hearing Qi Fei's words, Cao Shuang suddenly remembered that Xu Shu was originally worshiped by Liu Bei as a military advisor, and was later designed by Cheng Yu to Xuchang, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

"Will Xu Shu take the Son of Heaven to Liu Bei?" Cao Shuang's fingers tapped lightly on the map and spoke.

Qi Fei smiled, "How come?" Liu Bei is in Jingzhou, if Xu Shu defects to Liu Bei, how can he go north? As such, he walked towards Sun Quan, and then turned to Liu Bei. ”

"It's a good plan to kill two birds with one stone." Before Qi Fei could finish his words, he was interrupted by Cao Shuang slapping the table.

"Sound from east to west? Kill two birds with one stone? Qi Fei was completely stunned by Cao Shuang, and asked very puzzled.

"Come, look." Cao Shuang pulled Qi Fei down in front of the map and pointed it out to Qi Fei, "From Xuchang to the north to meet Xianbei, you have to pass through Yanzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou, the road is far away, and I don't know how many officers and soldiers will block you along the way." It would be much simpler if they turned to the east here. We were all drawn to the banks of the Yellow River, and on the way to Xuzhou and Qingzhou, there was no precaution, and there were fewer obstacles for them. ”

Qi Fei shook his head and disagreed, "Whether it is Xuzhou or Qingzhou, they are close to the sea, do they want to jump into the sea?" ”

"This is where Xu Shu excels, arriving in Xuzhou or Qingzhou, taking a boat to the sea, and then going south. From Jiangdong into the Yangtze River, you can go upriver to Jingjiang, where the public security is there, but you can reach Liu Bei's territory. Cao Shuang's fingers kept pointing at several place names on the map, telling all his guesses. The Son of Heaven fled, and Xuchang was in civil strife. Sun Quan has always been eyeing the north, he will definitely take the opportunity to go north, when Jiangdong's mind is going north, who will care about a ship going against the current? ”

"The person who left me to deliver the letter in Chen is Xu Shu's person, and he is the one who led us to Guandu." At this time, their faces were full of worry, and they were led by Xu Shu from the beginning.

Cao Shuang shook his head, "Although the person who sent the letter did not report his identity, he already stated in the letter that he came for Jia Xu. I'm afraid that Jia Xu also fell for Xu Shu's plan. ”

"It's amazing." Qi Fei didn't know whether to praise Cao Shuang or Xu Shu.

"Let's go to Linzi." Cao Shuang pulled the cloak, got out of the big tent, and ran to his horse.

Qi Fei followed behind, hurriedly ordered someone to pack up his things, and followed closely behind Cao Shuang, "Childe, will Xu Shu definitely go to sea through Linzi?" ”

Cao Shuang turned over and got on the horse, pulled the reins of the horse and said to Qi Fei, "Xuzhou has been guarding against Jiangdong Sun Quan, and the people who come and go are very strict. Qingzhou has not had a war for many years, and it is inevitable that there will be some relaxation. ”

After listening to Cao Shuang's words, Qi Fei turned over and followed Cao Shuang towards Qingzhou.

The martial law order along the Yellow River was not lifted, and according to Cao Shuang's meaning, this was to confuse Xu Shu. Through the bad guys, Cao Shuang informed Xuzhou and Xiangyang and Fancheng to guard against the attack of Sun Quan and Jingzhou. Cao Shuang also ordered Qingzhou to impose martial law and find Xu Shu's convoy, but directly ordered the unscrupulous people in Linzi to secretly investigate, and the boats and fishermen who were able to go to sea.

The convoy of the Son of Heaven waved the banner of Cao Zi and ran wildly on the official road in the direction of Qingzhou, but no one stepped forward to stop it. Within a few days, they rushed to the territory of Taishan County. As soon as it entered the territory of Mount Tai, the convoy resumed its previous way of traveling, and went out day and night. At each point, several wagons left the convoy and headed in other directions.

Cao Shuang also discovered this situation, Cao Shuang sat on the horse, and Qi Fei led a few bad people to check the traces left by Xu Shu's convoy.

"The traces of leaving the convoy in front of us are only a small number of carriages, the number of carriages of Xu Shu's convoy is decreasing, after entering Taishan County, the convoy is not rushing day and night, it is day and night." Qi Fei reported to Cao Shuang the situation of the survey of the traces of the convoy just now, and when he encountered the traces of carriages in different directions, Qi Fei suggested sending someone to check, but Cao Shuang vetoed them. Looking at it now, it was all used by Xu Shu to confuse people.

"It's foolproof." The corners of Cao Shuang's mouth went up slightly, and then he continued to hurry with the bad guys.

"It's foolproof." The same words came out of Jia Xu's mouth, and Jia Xu leaned back on the wall of the carriage and muttered.

"Aren't you worried at all?" Xun Yu's voice was very hoarse, and his face was very haggard.

Jia Xu smiled, "What are you worried about? It is rumored in the world that Liu Bei has always been benevolent, and it shouldn't be difficult for us to get an official and a half-job. ”

"Wen Ruo also believes it?" Xun Yu looked at Jia Xu and sneered, for a hero like Liu Bei, how can he say benevolence, but it is just a trick to buy people's hearts.

"Believe it or not, anyway, the old man didn't set up a plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf to harm Liu Bei." Jia Xu stroked the white beard under his chin and quipped. Tao Qian gave Xuzhou to Liu Bei before he was critically ill, and Lu Bu was defeated by Cao Cao and went to defect. Cao Cao was afraid that Liu and Lu would join forces. So Xun Yu offered an edict to Liu Bei to kill Lu Bu, but Liu Bei refused. Xun Yu offered another plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and sent someone to tell Yuan Shu that Liu Bei was going to attack him, Yuan Shu raised troops to go to the crusade, and at this time he ordered Liu Bei to crusade against Yuan Shu, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to attack Liu Bei in the back.

When Xun Yu heard this, he smiled bitterly, and his mood improved slightly.

At this time, Jianye, Sun Quan's study, Sun Quan and Lu Su and Zhang Zhao talked secretly.

"Zibu, what do you think of going north?" Sun Quan sat on the throne and asked.

Zhang Zhao shook his head and hugged his fists and said, "The old minister thinks it's inappropriate. ”

"Zijing, what do you think of going north?" Sun Quan didn't say anything else, but turned sideways to ask Lu Su.

Lu Su respectfully saluted Sun Quan and said, "But it is up to the lord to make the decision, and he will not dishonor his life." "Lu Su is a real person, but he is not a fool, he can see that Sun Quan wants the Northern Expedition. His position as governor was recommended by Zhou Yu, unlike Zhang Zhao's seniority, Sun Quan had no way to take Zhang Zhao, but it was easy to replace him. Although Lu Su covets people from time to time, it is really difficult to realize Zhou Yu's ambitions without this position.
