After sleeping all night, Fan Ah got up from the bed in good spirits and woke up the disciples who were with him.

"Get up, freshen up, and we'll continue to the camp."

One disciple said worriedly: "Master Fan, let's not go to the barracks, right?" ”

"Why?"

"After all, the army is not as good as the people, in case one of them is not good to give people to death, I am afraid of ......"

"You don't need to worry about this, life and death are fate, and the dignified Marquis of Zhaowu will not even understand this simple truth."

"......"

"Don't say it again, we are practicing medicine in order to practice the duty of a doctor, and the soldiers, the people, and the powerful are treated equally, if you don't understand, go home, I won't stop you."

Fan A's tone became heavier as he spoke, and the disciple didn't dare to say more, picking up something and tiptoeing behind him.

As soon as he got out of the tent where he stayed, he saw a young scribe walking towards him with a smile, Fan A was very impressed by this person, and hurriedly saluted: "I have seen Captain Guo." ”

Guo Jia feigned anger and said: "Fan Jun, you and I will be subordinates in the future, why do you have to be so angry?" In the following table, the word Fengxiao, I don't know Fan Jun......"

Fan A wondered for a while, "What does the captain mean by this?" ”

"Jia is here to congratulate Fan Jun."

"How happy is Fan?"

"Yesterday, the lord has decided to make the king his family, isn't this enough to be happy?"

Fan A's mind froze in disbelief. Xu Chu played it as the Marquis of Zhaowu? This...... I'm afraid I heard me wrong, right? Because he asked Guo Jia, "The school captain said that Xu Hou said that I am a family member?" ”

"That's right."

Fan A almost didn't stand still, but the disciples around him supported him and kept saying to him, "Congratulations to Master Fan." ”

Fan A is not very old, his four disciples are even younger, and the oldest is only the age of the weak crown. The heavens were blessed, making these five people like falling clouds, dazed and at a loss.

When he was young, he followed Hua Tuo to practice medicine, and now it has been more than ten years. Fan A, who has traveled to various states in the Central Plains and treated countless critically ill people, never imagined that he would be able to enter the house one day.

The world always respects them when they need them, but this kind of respect is more of a fear of death in Fan A's view. And today, he really felt Xu Chu's respect for him, and when he thought of this, Fan A couldn't help but bow to the north, choked up.

Guo Jia saw their reactions, and patiently waited for Fan A to slow down before stepping forward to help him up.

"Fan Jun, it's time to go to the lord's thanks."

"Please ...... Please lead the way. ”

"Jun's cousin?"

"Bo Xing."

Guo Jia smiled and nodded, "Boxing, please." ”

followed Guo Jia to the big tent of the Chinese army, but found that it seemed to be a discussion inside, Fan A knew the severity, so he took the initiative to say: "Fengxiao, please enter first, I will wait outside the tent." ”

Guo Jia glanced at Fan A appreciatively, and when he entered the tent, he saw that all the important civil and military officers were there, and after he came in, everyone's eyes were all focused on him.

Xu Chu opened his mouth and said: "Feng Xiao came just in time, there is one thing that needs your help to get an idea." ”

It was still early in the morning, and if it wasn't for an emergency, Xu Chu wouldn't have summoned the civil and military forces to the tent. After asking about the situation, Guo Jia learned that Dong Jun had made further moves.

Sun Jian, who was stationed in Liang County, and Chun Yuqiong, who was stationed in Wen County, also found out the military situation of Dong Jun's attack.

Liang County is closer, Wen County is far away, judging from the fact that the two pieces of intelligence arrived almost at the same time, Liang County may not have been in war at this time, and the war in Wen County is very likely to have started.

"My lord, has Niu Fu already left the area of Yique and Otani?"

Xu Chu pondered: "There is no specific information, but it is unlikely that Hu Zhen, Niu Fu, and Xu Rong will stay on this road at the same time, and they must have been transferred away by Dong Zhuo." ”

Everyone nodded yes when they heard this, this is not difficult to understand, Xu Rong is okay, Hu Zhen and Niu Fu are both Dong Zhuo's most trusted generals, the two are on the same road, and it is not suitable for anyone to be the leader, and since Dong Zhuo has appointed Hu Zhen as the chief protector, he let Niu Fu go back. Moreover, the effect of Niu Fu on this way has been achieved, annihilating nearly half of Sun Jian's men, and in the short term, the two passes of Yique and Otani are impregnable.

Guo Jia then said: "The sour jujube coalition will disperse, and Dong Jun will definitely let go of his hands and feet to deal with Er Yuan." Yuan Che rode in Hanoi, too far away from us, no need to think about it; But in Yuan Highway in Luyang, we should at least make a gesture. ”

Xu Chu said: "I also know this, the question is how to make a posture? ”

If you ignore Yuan Shu, you are really afraid that this 'Brother Gongzi' will be defeated by Dong Jun in a battle. It is necessary to know that Yuan Shu's Luyang is more than 300 miles away from Luoyang, and the terrain is flat on the way, and in the case of Sun Jian's troops being greatly damaged, Dong Jun is very likely to break Sun Jian first, and then break Yuan Shu for a hundred miles.

At present, Cao Cao is not there, and he can't count on it, so Xu Chu can only rely on himself, but his own troops are also limited, and he has more than enough to defend the city, and it is tight to go out of the city to fight against him, so Xu Chu is not good at making decisions.

After some discussion, everyone's opinions were roughly divided into two types. One is to send troops to Liang County to assist Sun Jian in defense, and the other is to send troops to force Yuyuan Pass to reduce Sun Jian's pressure.

There are pros and cons to both approaches.

Going to Liang County, although it can help resist the Dong army to the greatest extent, the consequences are also obvious, and there are many dead soldiers and consumables. If the pass could be broken, Xu Chu would not have made a detour from Liang County earlier.

Come to think of it, there is no way to get the best of both worlds.

At this moment, the outside of the account reported: Sun Jian is here.

Xu Chu was shocked when he heard this, and immediately took someone out of the tent to greet him. When he got out of the tent and saw Fan Azai, he said to him: "Fan Jun, I have something to do, and I can't receive you, I hope to forgive me." ”

Fan A replied respectfully: "In this case, the subordinates will go to the wounded barracks, and if the prince is sent, let someone pass it on." ”

Hearing Fan A's words, Xu Chu's hanging heart fell into his stomach, and he said with a smile: "How dare you say it, there is Lao Fan Jun." ”

After saying goodbye to Fan A, Xu Chu came to the gate.

Sun Jian was in the dust, followed by Han Dang and Huang Gai, and when he saw Xu Chu coming, he hurriedly said: "How can I Lao Zhongkang greet him personally!" ”

Xu Chu was heaved in his heart, with Sun Jian's violent temper, he was so polite when he met today, he must have something to ask for.

Sure enough, after only a few steps, Sun Jian hurriedly said: "Zhongkang, Dong Junbing has entered Liang County, and the current camp is near the Beiyang people gathering in the county. ”

Xu Chu said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Brother Wentai, before you came, I was discussing with Wenwu how to save Liang County, but there is no final case yet." ”

Sun Jian pretended to be affectionate and called himself a cousin, and Xu Chu reciprocated by calling him a cousin.

After listening to Xu Chu's words, Sun Jian's anxious expression decreased slightly, and he sighed: "Hey, I won't hide it from you, a few days ago I sent a messenger to Luyang for help, but General Yuan didn't know who he had heard, so he only sent Qiao Rui to Liang County with 3,000 people...... Liang County is an important town, and only 3,000 people are like a drop in the bucket, which is useless in the overall situation, so I asked you to come. ”

Today's Liang County seems to have become a necessary place for the Dong coalition army to go north, and Sun Jian is right to say that it is an important town. What is strange is that Sun Jian actually bluntly said that Yuan Shu only sent 3,000 people to Liang County.

Not only did Xu Chu feel strange, but as soon as Sun Jian's voice fell, Xi Zhong, who was accompanying him, also coughed, intending to remind Xu Chu not to be gullible.

Xu Chu then said: "How unwise General Yuan is! Once Liang County is lost, Luyang has no danger to defend......"

Sun Jian interrupted: "Yes, not only Luyang can't be defended, but Yingchuan County has also become a place where the enemy is attacked. ”

“......”

"At that time, Dong Jun can go south from Yuyuan Pass, and second, he can go west from Liang County, Zhongkang, let me ask, now that General Cao is not here, there are many generals in your department who have gone out of the county to recruit troops, if the east and north are in an emergency at the same time, what will you do?"

Xu Chu understood that Sun Jian was not just here to ask for help, but the meaning of coercion was even better.

From Sun Jian's words, Xu Chu got two pieces of information: one is that Kong Ling should have colluded with Yuan Shu, otherwise the movements of him and Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, who was far away in Luyang, would not have been able to know so quickly. The other is that Sun Jian is sure that he and Cao Cao are unwilling to sit back and watch him defeat, so there will be a talented rhetoric.

After hearing this, Xi Zhong, Guo Jia and the others all frowned and thought deeply, obviously thinking hard about countermeasures.

In the eyes of Xi Zhong, Guo Jia and others, Sun Jian lost his soldiers and horses before, and now he is facing a strong enemy alone, perhaps his mind to please Dong is not as high as it was at the beginning. The wonderful thing is that Xu Chu traveled from the afterlife, and Sun Jian will give up asking for Dong? Tease me.

Xu Chu shrugged his shoulders, changed his expression to an extremely scoundrel, and said: "I heard that the sour jujube coalition army is about to disperse, and according to the current situation, it seems that it has come to naught to please Dong, Brother Wentai, I advise you to return to Changsha County as soon as possible." ”

Sun Jian's eyes widened, it seemed that it was the first time he knew Xu Chu, and he seriously looked at Xu Chu from head to toe, and after a while, he sighed: "Zhongkang wants to follow the example of the princes of sour jujube and return to the county on the same day?" ”

"What can I do?"

Sun Jian laughed twice, "That's it, I can't talk about you." ”

Xi Zhong, Guo Jia and other talented people have awakened at this time, and it turns out that Sun Jian is here to deceive them. Although it was strange why Xu Chu was sure that Sun Jian was unwilling to give up courting Dong, he didn't want to ask much at the moment, so he followed Xu Chu into the military tent.

After sitting down, Sun Jian honestly expressed his intentions. Sun Jian means that Liang County is a strong city, and there are Guangcheng, Yangren, Zhucheng and other places that can be used as fortresses for deployment, and it is not difficult to drag the invading Dong army, the key is that he is afraid that Dong Jun will not attack the city, so he sends light cavalry through Liang County, wandering on the road from Luyang to Liang County to cut off its grain route, so that within a month, he will have to run out of food. Because of this, he hoped that if Dong Jun really intercepted his grain route as he expected, Xu Chu could send troops to help him solve these Dong cavalry.

When a war reaches a stalemate stage, the most important thing is often the supply of military rations. Yuan Shu was in Luyang, even if he spared no effort to transport grain and grass to Sun Jian, but because of the lack of manpower and wagons, the amount of grain and grass delivered each time was within a certain range. Once the war protracted, it had to transport grain and grass many times, which gave Dong Jun the opportunity to cut off the grain route.

Speaking of which, it was because of the excessive losses caused by the last rash advance that he took care of one thing and lost the other, and could not divide his troops at the same time to solve the guerrilla Dong Qi without losing Liang County.

Moreover, Yuan Shu is a very unreliable person, Sun Jian knows this very well, it is better to count on Yuan Shu, it is better to count on Xu Chu and Cao Cao, who have made many contributions.

This time, Xu Chu agreed without hesitation, and added: At the same time, Yingchuan will send 3,000 troops to Yangyinli, ready to rescue Liang County at any time.

Sun Jian was overjoyed.

In fact, Yuan Shu did only send his subordinate general Qiao Rui with 3,000 people to support Sun Jian, not that Yuan Shu was stingy, but that he thought that guarding Liang County was not the business of him Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, Xu Chu and Cao Cao also had to do their best, if Xu Chu Cao Cao did not contribute, he suggested that Sun Jian simply give up Liang County, and set up camp outside Luyang County, and garrison Luyang in a position.

Sun Jian refused to give up Liang County, and took the initiative to ask Ying to persuade Xu Chu, only Xu Chu helped slightly, and in his consideration, the victory or defeat of this battle should be between five and five.

After Sun Jian left, everyone unfolded the map to watch.

Guo Jia said: "Dong Zhuo let me wait to return to the county last time, and this time he sent people to attack, because he thought that after the news of the dispersal of the sour jujube coalition army spread, the righteous soldiers from all sides would return to their minds, and they would be able to sit back and relax by taking advantage of this effort to strike Er Yuan hard." ”

Xu Chu thought so, Dong Zhuo thought very thoroughly, if the expectation was good, Yuan Shao was beaten by Dong Zhuo, and at this time he may have shifted his focus to seeking Jizhou, and Yuan Shu may also put his mind on seeking Jingzhou. But Dong Zhuo calculated everything, and he couldn't count that he, Cao Cao and Sun Jian were determined to continue to go north to attack Luo.

As long as the two armies fought fiercely in Liang County, it can be clearly seen from the map that the supply line of the Dong army was lengthened, and the convenience of grain and grass transportation was lost. Therefore, if Dong Jun wants to win, it is very likely that it will be as Sun Jian said: he will make a fuss on the road from Luyang to Liangxian. As long as this grain route is safe, with Sun Jian's ability, Dong Jun may not be able to win this battle, and may also lose.

Xu Chu pointed to the location of the Father City and Jiaxian County on the map, and said: "Between victory and defeat, Father City and Jiaxian County cannot be left unguarded. Wang Yan, I ordered you to take your troops and horses to garrison Jiaxian, and Liu Bei and Guan Yu went together. In addition, the father city will be handed over to Xingba. ”

The generals commanded.

To the east of Liang County, the nearest is the Father City and Jiaxian, Xu Chu's arrangement is an old word, and everyone has no opinion.

In this war, Xu Chu was a 'bystander' for the first time, and the clouds were very breezy and breezy, and after all the arrangements were made, the first one thought of Fan A and Xun Yu's father's illness.

"There should be no big problem in the war here, Yuan Zhi, Zhicai, Yang Zhai will bother you two, I want to ask Fengxiao to go to Yingyin."

Xi Zhong nodded and said: "Wen Ruo is my old friend, if it is possible, I also want to visit Wen Ruo's father, the lord goes to Wen Ruo's house, don't forget to bring Fan A." ”

Xu Chu attaches so much importance to Fan A, firstly, the doctor is worthy of attention, and secondly, it is for the condition of Xun Yu's father, Xun Sui.

Out of the military tent, Xu Chu went straight to the wounded barracks. Fan A was treating the wounded soldiers, and when he saw Xu Chu coming, he didn't stop what he was doing, and only after the management finished the work in hand did he salute Xu Chu and said, "Let the prince wait for a long time." ”

On the way, he had learned about Fan A's words from Guo Jia's mouth, and Xu Chu said: "It is my subordinates who are being healed by Boxing, why wait for a long time...... There is a sick person right now, and if Bo Xing can cure his illness, it will be a miracle! ”
