Chapter 36: Cao Cao's Troubles

Runan, Cao Jun's camp. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Cao Cao leaned on the brocade cushion, holding a bamboo note in his hand, reading carefully, when he sat down, Guo Jia held the wine jug, from time to time to add a glass for himself, with an intoxicated expression, Xun You sat next to Guo Jia, the table was full of bamboo notes, and reviewed the file at a very fast speed.

"Lord, Liu Bei has broken through Shouchun with yesterday, and now he is guarding Shouchun, but he does not have the slightest intention of returning to the dynasty, and now he has sent Zhang Feitun troops to Wufang, Guan Yu has led the army to return to Xuzhou yesterday under the greeting of Xuzhou fathers and seniors, and sit in Xiapi." Cheng Yu walked in quickly with a few wisps of cold wind and said in a deep voice.

"Hmm." There was a light snort in his nose, Cao Cao was obviously mentally prepared for Liu Bei's betrayal, his eyes did not leave the bamboo note, but asked lightly: "What is the reaction of the Chen family?" ”

"Chen Deng sits in Guangling, and he neither opposes nor supports Guan Yu's entry into Xiapi." Cheng Yu said helplessly: "Chen Qi said that he had been sick for a long time, after Guan Yu entered Xiapi, he went to the mansion to pay a visit, but Chen Qi did not come out, and now the internal affairs of Xuzhou are presided over by Liu Bei's staff Sun Gan. ”

"Sun Qian?" When Cao Cao heard this, a touch of mockery flashed in his eyes, and he put down the bamboo note in his hand and said, "Send someone to send me some mountain ginseng to Chen Jue, so that he can recuperate." ”

"Yes." Cheng Yu nodded.

Guo Jia took a sip of wine, squinted his eyes half-drunk and half-awakened, and thought: "I am not too worried about the father and son of the Chen family, but Liu Bei still needs to be removed as soon as possible. ”

Cheng Yu agreed: "The lord can send a general to lead the army to garrison Wu Fang, and the main force of our army will directly take Liu Bei, if Zhang Fei sends troops, there is no need to pursue, just take Wu Fang, then Liu Bei will become a lone army, our army can gather and annihilate it, and then turn to Xuzhou, then the overall situation can be determined." ”

"Who can be the general?" Cao Cao nodded, this is a good strategy, but thinking of Zhang Fei's violent force, Cao Cao asked with a headache, although he has fierce generals like clouds, but the only person who can compete with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in terms of force is Xu Chu, but Xu Chu is not the material for commanding the three armies.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "The two armies are facing each other, and it is not a one-on-one confrontation, Xu Gongming is calm and resolute, and he can be the main general." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded and said: "The public can clearly take on this important task, pass on my military order, order Xu Huang to be the main general, command 5,000 troops, go to Wufang to contain Zhang Fei, the three armies and the three watches will be eaten, and the five guards will pull out the camp and march to Shouchun." ”

"Yes." Cheng Yu was ordered to retire.

"My lord." Xun You was holding a piece of bamboo paper, and his face suddenly became solemn.

"What?" Cao Cao looked at Xun You in surprise, there were not many things that could make Xun You have such an expression.

"Something happened to Nanyang." Xun You handed the file to Cao Cao and said in a deep voice.

……

Carriages and horses Xiao Xiao, millions of people from Nanyang Wancheng to the unrelated area set off, dragging the family with the mouth, helping the old and the young, gradually gathered into a stretch of hundreds of miles of people, mighty towards Wuguan, a team of sabers on their waists, carrying bows and arrows of the soldiers from the huge team by, deterring those who want to escape.

Lu Bu's plan can not be described as imperfect, but the homeland is difficult to leave, and there are not a few people who are unwilling to follow Lu Bu to move to Guanzhong, if it is not deterred, it is not easy to move all the millions of people in Nanyang into Guanzhong, and along the way, heart-rending cries can be heard from time to time.

Lu Bu took the Xiliang Iron Horse, standing on a hill, looking at all this with an indifferent face, a group of people walked through the post road under their feet like refugees, under the leadership and supervision of the leaders elected by them, there are not many cases of falling behind, these leaders, for their own future, although there are also a lot of passive sabotage, but most of them are doing their best to help Lu Bu migrate the displaced people.

"Send people to record along the way, settle the settlement every three days, and replace those who are passive and incompetent." Lu Bu sat on the back of the horse and said in a deep voice.

Just as Jia Xu speculated, Lu Bu came up with this immigration strategy, of course, in order to improve the efficiency of migration, but also to discover some potential talents, for their future team and foundation, naturally it is impossible to simply arrange the task and then leave it alone, before he and Chen Gong have sorted out a set of corresponding methods to record meritorious deeds, from the speed of the migration of people to the number of people left behind and the degree of public grievances, these combined, the best performance, Lu Bu will reuse, of course, these people may not have any great talent, But it can be a good role model.

"Yes!" A flag officer quickly waved the flag in his hand to give orders.

"Lord, the people closest to Wuguan have passed Wuguan, and according to today's itinerary, it is expected that they will arrive in Shangluo in five days." Chen Gong smiled.

"Does Zhang Lu have any reaction?" Lu Bu frowned and said, such a large-scale population migration, if Zhang Lu didn't have any thoughts, Lu Bu didn't believe it.

"I have sent someone to monitor Zhang Lu's movements day and night, as soon as there is a move, we will get the news as soon as possible, but compared to it, I am more worried about Cao Cao, he will not let us easily transfer the people, yesterday I have received the news of Yuan Shu's defeat." Chen Gong said worriedly.

Cao Cao is not better than Zhang Lu, although Zhang Lu is divided from Hanzhong, but there is no good general under his command, and there is no elite, it is okay to refuse the city and defend it, but if it is to send troops to the field, it is to send out the soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, relying on the terrain, in the face of Lu Bu can only be defeated and lost, but Cao Cao is different, the fierce generals under his command are like clouds, if he sends a large army to stop, it is impossible to say, Lu Bu also has to give up some people to exchange time for population.

"It's possible to send people to harass you, but Cao Cao is afraid that he won't be able to send any army now." Lu Bu shook his head, for Cao Cao, he was not worried, Liu Bei is now more powerful than this period in history, occupying most of the place in Runan, Xuzhou has also obtained Xiapi, Pengcheng, Donghai and other counties, although the foundation is unstable, but the victory is big enough in the territory, Cao Cao's current focus is to clear the rear, although he took away a million people, but it is equivalent to helping Cao Cao clear the south, and now the focus is on fighting Liu Bei instead of running to find trouble for himself.

Chen Gong thought about it carefully and did not refute, he had been staying in Wancheng during this time, and he was not clear about the situation in Runan, and Lu Bu had been paying attention to the war in Runan these days, especially the development of Liu Bei, when he knew that Guan Yu led the army to reoccupy Xiapi, he knew that Liu Bei was really a good teammate and had won enough time for himself, and now he only needed to guard against a small group of Cao Jun's troops coming to attack and harass, and he didn't have to worry about Cao Cao's troubles.

……

"Sending troops?" Looking at Xun You, Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Gongda, where are there any soldiers?" Xuzhou and Runan have to use troops, Yingchuan can send troops, but the opponent is Lu Bu, 500 people thousands of miles to fight, on the way to defeat Liu Xun, Sun Ce these princes, Man Boning is indeed talented, but when it comes to fighting, you let him fight Lu Bu? ”

Xun You couldn't help but be silent when he heard this, Cao Cao really can't draw enough troops to fight Lu Bu now, and the most important thing is that almost all of Cao Cao's heavy generals are now gathered in Runan, even if there are enough troops and no outstanding generals in the past, it will only make Lu Bu's brilliant record fill in a heavy stroke.

"Millions of people, can't you give it to Lu Bu like this?" Xun You smiled bitterly, although Cao Cao now has no shortage of population under his command, but the million population is not a small number, if it can fall into the hands of Cao Cao, Cao Cao's power and potential will be further enhanced, on the contrary, if it falls into the hands of Lu Bu, it is enough for the lonely Lu Bu to have a stable foundation, of course, the premise is that Lu Bu can really stabilize the hearts of the people.

"A million people is small, I think that what should really be paid attention to is Lu Bu!" The country's face was rare and solemn, and he looked at Cao Cao and said: "Since Lu Bu left Xiapi, passing through Haixi, Sheyang, Guangling, Lujiang, Runan and even today's Nanyang, Lu Bu has had more than one opportunity to gain a foothold, but judging from the news he received later, every time, he went very decisively, that is to say, from the beginning, he targeted Chang'an, although I don't know when Lu Bu had this courage, but this person is already worthy of the attention of the lord." ”

"Hmm." Cao Cao nodded heavily, deeply agreeing with Guo Jia's words, during this time, Cao Cao was also surprised by Lu Bu's performance: "It's a pity, time is not waiting for me, Lu Bu, can only be left to solve it in the future, the top priority is to attack Liu Bei, and then turn to the back, this period of time is almost unbearable." ”

Thinking of another enemy, Cao Cao felt a headache, and Liu Bei was just that, when did Lu Bu have this courage?
