Zhao Yun immediately said: "Lord, since Cao Cao is ruthless, why should we stay here for a long time, but it will harm him, it is better for me to contact General Xu Huang and ask him to lead the troops to escort us back to Luoyang tonight." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Jia Xu also followed alongside: "Yes, lord, Cao Cao killed Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao is bound to refuse to give up, we only need to return to Luoyang, with a messenger to Hebei, explain the reason, then Yuan Shao will not be angry with us, but vent his anger on Cao Cao, Cao Cao has Yuan Shao in the north, and Sun Ce is the enemy in the south. ”

After Zhao Yue heard this, he simply lay down on the bed, looking at the top of the wooden bed, only the left side could see the harmonious environment in the house, but he didn't feel any slight warmth, and the desolation of late autumn made him have to make a decision here: there must be a trade-off between the alliance with Cao Cao.

"Zilong," Zhao Yue said softly, "You must go, but you must leave tonight, it's too urgent, let's talk about it in a few days, and, Wenhe, you go to Cao Cao's army to find out some information, and then encircle some officials, just in case of emergency." ”

When Zhao Yun and Jia Xu heard the order, they took the order and retreated, they did not return to their rooms, and served in the study on the left side of Zhao Yue's room that night, for fear that someone would assassinate Zhao Yue.

The autumn night was as cold as water, Zhao Yue could feel the wind coming through the cracks in the window, he lay on the bed with neat bedding, did not take off his clothes, did not cover the quilt, and fell asleep in a daze.

At dawn the next day, Cao Cao sent someone to inquire about Zhao Yue's situation as usual, but Zhao Yue only sent Jia Xutui to say that he had a cold from drinking last night and suffered from a cold, so it was inconvenient to meet.

In Cao Cao's mansion, most of the officials in the council hall did not arrive, and the entire hall was empty, only a few servants were polishing the floor that had been cleaned and could shine human figures.

Guo Jia sat on a cushion in the hall, closed his eyes and recuperated until Cao Cao spoke, and he did not open his eyes until Cao Cao spoke.

"Fengxiao, you and I saw Zhao Yue's attitude last night, what do you think?"

Guo Jia squinted his eyes slightly, yawned as if he was awake, and said, "Lord, today Zhao Yue said that he was sick, where is he physically sick, I am afraid that he participated in the lord's banquet last night, and he is sick in his heart." ”

Cao Cao looked at the open door of the council hall, where several guards stood in the autumn wind, and a few servants swept away the withered yellow leaves that fell in the courtyard.

"Fengxiao, I'm afraid that Zhao Yue is no longer the monarch of the emerging forces who resigned himself to me." Cao Cao nodded, as if he had some understanding.

Guo Jia smiled and said: "Lord, the minister has talked to the lord before, and I know that the lord very much wants Zhao Yue to lead his troops to attack Shouchun with us this time, but the twisted melon is not sweet, and his military power is in his hands, if he just doesn't want to go, I can't do anything about him, so I advise the lord to make other arrangements as soon as possible." ”

Cao Cao sighed and said, "What arrangement? ”

Guo Jiajin admonished: "Shouchun must be beaten, otherwise the lord will not be able to give color to Sun Ce's horseman, and Zhao Yue will not go if he doesn't go, and the lord must not put it back in Luoyang, since it is on our territory, how can there be any reason to let him go back?" ”

Cao Cao was distressed, "Although Zhao Yue is young, but he is quite a city government, and he is very sophisticated, yesterday during the banquet, I saw that he disdains dancing girls and wine and food, I am afraid that he is also a person who has no desires and no desires, so it is really difficult to control, if he is forcibly kept, I am afraid that Luoyang will make some moves, and I have just killed Yuan Shu, our army is only afraid that it will be attacked on three sides." ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "The lord is too worried, as long as I personally go out, I will ask Zhao Yue to stay here for a few more days, and I don't want to return to Luoyang, but the lord still has more soldiers and horses, appoint generals, and then go to attack Shouchun." ”

Under Guo Jia's persuasion, Cao Cao finally decided to let his younger brother Cao Ren lead 30,000 troops, and Xun Yu was the marching strategist to attack Shouchun.

At the time of the turmoil in Xuchang City.

In Luoyang, the Meng idiot is also competing with Liu Bei, who is becoming more and more powerful in the imperial court.

"Military advisor, the lord has not returned for many days, and on the side of the imperial court, the officials of all sizes who were originally close to our army have begun to favor Liu Bei, do we want to take any measures?"

Wang Jian took advantage of the fact that the idiot had just gotten up and was still sparse in the big business, so he hurried from the school yard.

The idiot methodically wiped the water on his face with a towel, and did not forget to wipe the water stains on his hands, "General Wang Qian, the lord is not here, General Cao Ping is just recovering from his injuries, Qin Feng broke his arm and went to Hongnong, our strength in Luoyang is currently very weak, the only thing to do is to lie dormant and wait to avoid a head-on conflict with the enemy." ”

Wang Jian was a little puzzled and said: "What about the war in the northwest?" It's been a long time since I've heard the news from there, and since Zhang Duan sealed King Yong, he has been recruiting troops and preparing to invade our states and counties! ”

The idiot smiled, put the towel on the edge of the copper basin, and the boy obediently took the basin away.

"Come, sit down first." The idiot walked to the main hall of the big business, pointed to a chair casually, and asked Wang Jian to sit down.

After a while, he drank morning tea and looked at the impatient majestic general in the chair, and then he spoke: "On the northwest side, fortunately, there are two forces, Ma Teng and Zhang Duan, who will contain each other. Don't worry, I noticed two days ago that there were some deficiencies in the collection of Western intelligence, and I have already sent Lu Ze to strengthen the number of reconnaissance horse sorties. Since Zhang Duan occupied Chang'an and established himself as king, he has strictly cut off our communication with Ma Teng, and it is extremely difficult for messengers to visit Ma Teng, and since I have discovered this problem, I am bound to deal with it. ”

When Wang Jian heard this, he could only listen to the words of the idiot.

At the same time, in the woods on the outskirts of Luoyang City, that is, in the woods near Zhao Yue's former military house, a group of children were exercising here in the morning.

Since Qin Feng left, Liu Xian seems to have changed as a person, a young child, even more depressed, silent all day long, like a little adult.

A few early risers were washing their faces by the stream under his leadership, just throwing off a handful of water and preparing to practice climbing trees. Liu Xian heard a child next to him who was slightly taller than him and a little older: "Brother Yi'er, I heard the sound of horses, could it be Zhao Yue's people?" ”

Because this is a group of unruly children, so they are used to calling Zhao Yue by his name, Zhao Yue has heard a little about this matter, and always wants to straighten it out, but because he didn't think of a good way, plus he was busy with other affairs, so he was negligent, he didn't know, disasters often start from Xiao Wall, from the inside.
