Chapter Fifty-Four: Fraudulent Surrender (Asking for Sanjiang Tickets)

On the spacious official road, you can occasionally see scattered villages like pearls inlaid between the green waters and green mountains, a cavalry is not fast or slow walking on the official road, it doesn't seem like a hurry, if it weren't for those knights one by one fierce and vicious, from afar, you can feel that the temperature in the air seems to have dropped a little, even birds and beasts dare not approach, but like a family guard who goes out.

"Lord, you said that this Hanoi can be regarded as a place of three auxiliaries, but compared to Jingzhao and Zuo Fengyi, the popularity here is really him. Mother's Wang! Passing by another village that seemed to be quite prosperous, Zhou Cang couldn't help but complain.

Lu Bu glanced at the village that had passed, and nodded, indeed, compared to the scene of thousands of miles of people in the Chang'an area, and the white bones were exposed to the wilderness, this place in Hanoi can definitely be regarded as a holy place in the world, Lu Bu came all the way from Xuzhou, and perhaps only Nanyang can be compared with it.

"Prepare to move the population." Sighing, Lu Bu knew that this migration might not be as gentle as the last time, but he had to do it, he needed the population, and the soldiers and horses in his hands at present, even if he defeated Hanoi, he would not have enough ability to extend his dominance to Hanoi.

"Huh?" Zhou Cang glared and said, "But we only have less than two thousand people now, how can we move?" And my lord, I won't be able to do that set of things under you. ”

"Don't be so troublesome, give you a thousand people, you can do what the Yellow Turban Army did at the beginning, they should have told you." Lu Bu turned his head and looked at Zhou Cangdao: "Send someone to inform Wei Yan and tell him that I don't care how he fights this battle, but I must contain Zhong Xuan's soldiers in Xinfeng for me." ”

"Whoa!" Looking at Lu Bu's serious expression, Zhou Cang nodded hurriedly, hurriedly went down to give the order, and after a while, returned to Lu Bu's side: "Lord, when will I leave?" ”

"Now." Lu Bu looked at Zhou Cang and said: "This time, I don't just want the population, but also those people from the family will arrest me, and those who dare to resist will not be left behind." ”

"Whoa!" When Zhou Cang heard this, he agreed again, ordered two soldiers and horses, and roared away.

The army shrank by half in an instant, Lu Bu looked at the sky in front of him, and let out a faint sigh, population, he wants a large number of people to fill the land of Sanfu, only with enough population as the foundation, he can complete his hegemony.

……

Baling, Wei Yan camp.

"General, just now General Gao Shun came with the news, the battle of Huaili has ended, the Xiliang army has been repelled by the lord, and we must leave Zhong Xuan's army in Xinfeng, General Gao Shun has already brought troops to join forces to annihilate the Cao army." The deputy general quickly ran into the tent and said to Wei Yan.

"I already know about this matter, but ......" Wei Yan put down another bamboo note in his hand, it was a military order from Chang'an, the rumors were raging before, Wei Yan was ready to be replaced at any time, after all, compared to others, he was just a new general, and now he is leading an army alone, which is easy to arouse people's jealousy, coupled with this rumor, Wei Yan was once disheartened, Zhong Xuan has sent people to surrender more than once in the past few days, it is undeniable that there are so many times, Wei Yan was moved.

If you stay on Lu Bu's side, all you get is suspicion, then it is better to accept Zhong Xuan's surrender, although Wei Yan knows that this matter has nothing to do with Zhong Xuan, but so what, it is the same fate that Lu Bu does not know anyone, but the order sent by Chang'an afterwards made Wei Yan completely dispel this idea.

Wei Yan is ambitious, but he also has enough brains and ability to support his ambitions, although compared to Cao Cao, Lu Bu can only be regarded as a small shrimp now, with few soldiers, but it is precisely because of this that he has the opportunity to lead an army alone, and this time Lu Bu put Guan Hai, who followed him in the early days, or Zhang Xiu, who was already a famous general, and promoted himself as the main general of the first army, which is enough to see that Lu Bu knows people and makes good use of them.

There seemed to be a flame burning in his chest, and this trust alone was enough to dispel the trace of mustard in Wei Yan's heart because of the rumors, and he made up his mind to assist Lu Bu wholeheartedly.

"Hey, General Gao Shun has already made great achievements in the Battle of Huaili, and the merits of this batch of Cao Jun can't be left to him!" Wei Yan said with a smile.

"Uh...... General, our army now only has 3,000 soldiers and horses, and Cao's army adds up to 5,000 people, and Zhong Xuan only defends these days, and does not fight with us head-on at all. The adjutant general looked at Wei Yan worriedly.

"Can't wait." Wei Yan stood up and laughed loudly: "If Zhong Xuan learns the news of the defeat of the Xiliang army, I am afraid that he will also withdraw soon, if he waits for General Gao Shun to come, I am afraid that the fighter will have been delayed, and at this time, it is the time to break the enemy." ”

"General, it's just that our army has few soldiers now, how can we break the enemy?" The adjutant said with a wry smile.

"Simple." Wei Yan said with a smile: "I have a plan, I can send someone to inform Zhong Xuan, we are willing to surrender him, and let him send someone to receive the city army." ”

"That Zhong Miao is not a stupid person, I'm afraid he won't be a cronie, even if he wants to come, he will bring a large army here." The adjutant general hesitated.

"I have my own plans, you go and send someone to inform Zhong Xuan to receive the soldiers, just say that I am dissatisfied with the lord for a long time, and I am willing to serve Cao Cao." Wei Yan looked at the deputy general: "This matter must be carried out by a reliable person, if Zhong Xuan really leads the army to come, get out as soon as possible before entering the barracks." ”

"Well, this matter will be handled by the end of the year." The adjutant nodded.

"It's a pity, if you can have more soldiers and horses, this battle will be able to wipe out Zhong Xuan." Looking at the back of the departing lieutenant, Wei Yan sighed.

At this moment, a lieutenant walked in, bowed down and said, "General, General Zhang Liao sent someone to send a thousand soldiers and horses." ”

"At the right time, do you know who is leading the way?" When Wei Yan heard this, he couldn't help but say with a light in his eyes.

"It's the two generals He Yi and He Man."

Ho Yi Ho Man?

Wei Yan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, these two people can be regarded as brave generals, but they are by no means the talents of generals, but it also shows that Zhang Liao has no other thoughts, otherwise it is not He Yi He Man who came, but Guan Hai or Zhang Liao came over in person.

"Let's go, go and meet you." Wei Yan walked towards the outside of the tent first, anyway, this is someone sent by Zhang Liao, and he needs to be respected in terms of etiquette.

"General Wei, General Wenyuan sent us to help the general, and the two of us will obey the general's orders." At the gate, He Yi and He Man bowed to Wei Yan.

"The two generals came just in time, and tonight is just the right time to help me break the Cao army." Wei Yan said with a smile.

"Oh?" He Yi and He Man glanced at each other in surprise, and said in unison: "I am willing to listen to the general's dispatch." ”

"Okay, two generals and follow me into the account." Wei Yan led his hand and asked people to settle the new 1,000 soldiers, and took the He Yi and He Man brothers into the tent.
