Before the banquet was over, Wei Yu, the leader of the intelligence organization under Wei Yan's command, walked into the banquet hall. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Wei Yan saw that Wei Yu's face was full of solemnity, and hurriedly beckoned him to move forward quickly.

Wei Yu said in Wei Yan's ear: "The eldest lady of the Huang family sent someone to pass the book from Xiangyang Pegasus, as early as three days ago, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun led an army of 30,000 to reinforce the lord to resist Cao, and marched in the direction of Yiyang!" ”

Wei Yan was taken aback, but he didn't show the slightest expression on his face, and smiled faintly: "Good thing!" Meddlesome! Yuan Zhi, Shu Zhi, Zhongye, Yuan Jian...... Please come with me, there is something important to discuss! ”

The banquet continued, and Wei Yan ordered several major generals to the conference hall to discuss the military situation.

Wei Yan asked Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi, in your opinion, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun really came to help me resist Cao this time?" ”

Xu Shu sneered: "If Liu Biao really took the lord as an ally, he would not have planned to worship the lord as the Taishou of Runan and usher in the Cao army to attack the lord. ”

Wei Yan nodded: "What Yuan Zhi said is extremely true!" From the very beginning, Liu Biao, Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and others are jealous of me, everywhere guarded, everywhere restricted, in the past few months, Yiyang counties are thriving, thriving, but also aroused their coveting and jealousy, especially when my "Artemisia Lixing" and "Compassion Nong" two introduced to Xiangyang, Liu Biao has regarded me as a thorn in the flesh, even if Cao Jun can't defeat me, they will send troops to come! ”

……

Liu Biao's attitude towards Zhang Xiu and Wei Yan's two allies was completely different.

In Liu Biao's view, Zhang Xiunai is a Xiliang martial artist, with a short eye of a mouse, a stealing peace, not enterprising, and being a guardian dog is qualified, and he is not worried that he will bite himself.

Wei Yan is different, in the past six months, Wei Yan's power has developed too fast, and the news of defeating Xiahou Yuan's 5,000 cavalry before reached Xiangyang, which made Liu Biao even more jealous.

What's more, Wei Yan is too good at buying people's hearts, a few poems and various policies to benefit the people, so that people all over the world are eager to run to Wei Yan's territory, including the people in the hinterland of Jingzhou.

In addition, Wei Yan showed his ability to recognize people as the master, and there are more and more talents under his command, which can be described as a group of heroes, in comparison, Zhang Xiu, who only has Jia Xu and Hu Che'er under his command, is really not worth mentioning.

Liu Biao is not a fool, he can see that Wei Yan is not a thing in the pool after all, and once Wei Yan is full-fledged, where will he fight, Cao Cao He doesn't dare to provoke, Huainan has many disasters, then Wei Yan will definitely bite himself in the end.

At this time, Kuai Yue accidentally learned that his brother Kuai Qi had been hurt by Wei Yan, and now Pingchun County's affairs are all in charge of the county Cheng Deng Zhi, and then he found out that Wang Cang and Wen Ping are all in Wei Yan's heart.

Kuai Yue was shocked and hurriedly reported the matter to Liu Biao, who quickly summoned Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others to come to the discussion.

Zhang Yun has always hated Wei Yan for killing Zhang Chi, cutting off one of their Zhang family's arms, and has been instigating Liu Biao to send troops to attack Wei Yan, Liu Biao has been worried before, and now Zhang Yun finally encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it is even more obvious that Wei Yan will have a full-fledged harm in the future, and continue to persuade Liu Biao to take the opportunity to attack Wei Yan.

Cai Mao was also soberly aware that he was very naïve to want to entrap Wei Yan as the lackey of the Cai family, with Wei Yan's ability, how could he be willing to drive him, he also died of the idea of encircling Wei Yan, and also tried his best to persuade Cao Hong and Yu Ban to stab Wei Yan in the back when 20,000 horses and horses were killed, and strangled Wei Yan's power in the bud.

The three important ministers under his command all agreed on the same opinion, wanting to take the opportunity to strangle Wei Yan, Liu Biao finally no longer hesitated, and decided to send Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to lead 30,000 horses and horses to Yiyang New Town.

At this time, a person in the hall arched his hand and said: "Lord, now Wei Yan is still nominally a subordinate of the lord, and the lord is now attacking him, for fear of provoking the world's discussions, and even more afraid of Zhang Xiutu's death and sorrow, and his heart is suspicious and afraid." ”

Everyone looked at it, it was Yanzhou Shanyang Yi Jibo, this person is Liu Biao's fellow villager, he was attached to Liu Biao when he was young, this person has eloquence, Liu Biao is very trustworthy to him.

Liu Biao said: "Uncle Ji is reasonable, it is not difficult to defeat Wei Yan'er, but I am afraid of provoking the world's discussions, besides, Zhang Xiu and Wei Yan have a brotherly alliance, if our army attacks Wei Yan, Zhang Xiu will have a strange move, a different degree, what can I do?" ”

Kuai Yue thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Lord, since Wei Yan is nominally a subordinate of the Lord, the Lord will send General Cai and General Zhang to Yiyang in the name of assisting Wei Yan in resisting Cao. When he arrived in Yiyang, if he could take it skillfully, he would take it skillfully, and if he couldn't take it skillfully, he would attack it in the name of Wei Yancun's rebellious will.

Although Wei Yan's "Artemisia Lixing" and "Compassion for Nong" won the hearts of the poor and lowly grass people, they also made the princes and families of the world look sideways, no matter what kind of crime the lord is placed in Wei Yan, the princes and families of the world all applaud!

The subordinates heard that Wei Yan had already transferred all the men and horses of the three counties of Yiyang under his command in order to fight against the Cao army, and now the three counties of Yiyang were empty, and now, taking advantage of the good opportunity of Wei Yan and the Cao army, General Cai and General Zhang will be able to sweep the three counties.

As for Zhang Xiu, Ji Bo went to Wancheng for a trip, and only needed to inform Zhang Xiu that half of the captured grain and grass would be distributed to him afterwards, and he would officially worship him as Nanyang Taishou.

By the way, I also want to go to Wei Yan's place for a trip, and lie to deceive him. ”

Liu Biao stroked his beard and laughed: "The words of the different degrees are wonderful!" Uncle Ji, you will go to Zhang Xiu and Wei Yan. ”

Yi Ji hesitated and said: "What Kuai Junshi said is that he thinks that Wei Yan will definitely be defeated by Cao Hong and Yu Ban, or he will be defeated by Cao Hong and Yu Ban, but what if Wei Yan quickly defeats Cao Hong and Yu Ban and quickly moves south?" You must know that Caiyang's 10,000 horses and Xiahou Yuan's 5,000 cavalry were all defeated by Wei Yan. ”

Kuai Yue laughed contemptuously and said: "Cai Yang is a brave and unscrupulous person, and his command is all old and weak soldiers, Xiahou Yuan is rash, lone and deep, and it is very easy to defeat miserably, not to mention him, it is Sun Jian in the past, and he is not shot by Lu Gong, a partial general under Huang Taishou." And Cao Hong and Yu Ban are both veterans of Cao Cao's soldiers, and they are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, as long as they are in the camp step by step, they can do nothing with Wei Yancao's men and horses for several months. ”

Yi always felt that Wei Yan was not so simple, but seeing that Liu Biao, Kuai Yue, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others were full of confidence, it was inconvenient for him to say anything, so he set off for Wancheng.

……

Wei Yan, Xu Shu and others analyzed that Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others were extremely unkind when they came this time, and decided to fight back.

But now after the battle, the soldiers are tired, especially the infantry, and Cao Jun fought fiercely for a day, with more than 30% of the casualties, and they are about to enter the battle, and their combat strength is worrying.

The people will be worried.

Wei Yanlang laughed loudly: "Why use infantry, we can defeat Cai Mao and Zhang Yun with a light horse!" ”
