Dongjun, Puyang.

Cao Ying stood in front of the window, looking into the distance. Xu You and Chen Gong accompanied each other.

The three of them looked at the heavy rain outside the window, and they all didn't say a word, reflecting the sound of the rain, which seemed extraordinarily quiet.

After a long time, Cao Ying looked back and sighed: "Liangzhou fell into the hands of Liu Zihong, and Mobei also fought. ”

"Isn't this a good opportunity?"

Chen Gong glanced at Xu Yu and said: "The Battle of Mobei has restrained most of Liu Yuan's energy in Youzhou, but it is giving the lord a chance to develop and grow. ”

Cao Ying glanced at Chen Gong and said lightly: "It's a pity that Cao has only one county under his jurisdiction."

"Hehehe, lord, don't you see the fat right in front of you?" Chen Gong smiled leisurely and said, "Yanzhou Mu Kong is ambitious and talented, and has no courage and no strategy, how can He De occupy the entire Yanzhou?" If the Lord takes it, it is a great blessing for the people of Yanzhou! ”

"Yanzhou, I can do whatever I want!"

Cao Ying made no secret of it, but said: "It's a pity that I have no name and no reason, how can I take down the land of Yanzhou?" ”

"Haha, lord, this thing is a trivial matter for the lord. As for the reason, hehe, there is no reason, we can't find a reason, we can't make a reason? Chen Gong said with a smile.

"Oh?"

Cao Ying's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Does the public station have a clever plan to teach me?" ”

"I don't dare to do it." Chen Gong said with a smile: "I heard that Yanzhou Mu Kong Ling's wife and uncle are quite ambitious, why don't you provoke him to get rid of Kong Ling, and then the lord will take over Yanzhou in the name of cutting off the rebellion, and then ask for a name." ”

Cao Ying thought for a while, nodded immediately, and laughed: "But it's a good plan!" However, this matter still needs a person who knows Kong Ling's wife and uncle to do it, I don't know if the public station has any plans? ”

"This matter is easy!" Chen Gong said with a smile: "Your Majesty met Kong Ling's wife and uncle in his early years, but now he hasn't seen him for many years, and he is about to visit. ”

"Good!" Cao Ying immediately made a decision and said with a smile: "This matter will be handed over to the public station to do it!" ”

"Good news for your lord!"

Chen Gong gave a salute and turned to leave.

Cao Ying and Xu You watched Chen Gong's back disappear all the time, and then they looked at each other and smiled.

Xu You finished laughing, but pondered for a moment and said, "The lord has a plan, why don't you make it clear to the public platform?" I am afraid that such a calculation is not good for him. ”

"Don't I know?" Cao Ying sighed and said, "I have long had a dislike with Gongtai. Half a year ago, I assassinated Dong Zhuo, escaped from Luoyang alone, and was rescued by the public platform, but I accidentally killed my father's best friend Lu Bohao's family, and the public platform left me. Now that I have suppressed the Dongjun family, I have touched his bottom line. These two things have made me feel estranged from the public platform. ”

Saying that, Cao Ying grinned and said, "Let's talk about today's matter, but it is a public platform's independent petition, how can I calculate it against him?" Hahaha"

Jiujiang County, Taishou Mansion.

Sun Jian also stood in front of the window, and Sun Ce accompanied him.

"This rain in the middle of winter is rare." Sun Jian held a book in his hand, looked at Sun Ce with a sideways face, and said: "Bo Fu, now that the Han family is in decline, and there is a chaotic war in the northwest, the Central Plains is calm, for my father and Jiujiang Taishou, where should I go?" ”

There is a sigh between the words, and there is also the meaning of testing Sun Ce.

Sun Strategy, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes and a tiger's waist, pondered for a moment and said: "Father, the child thinks that under the calm water surface of the Central Plains, there is an undercurrent! ”

"Oh?" Sun Jian smiled slightly and said, "What? ”

"The Han family is declining, while the princes are growing. And today, Liu Yuan's family alone in Youzhou is dominant, shocking the world, and the princes dare not move. However, the chaotic war in the northwest restrained a large part of Liu Yuan's energy, and also gave the Central Plains princes a chance to develop. The child concluded that the present calm was the eve of the storm! Sun Ce's eyes flashed with wisdom.

"Well said!"

Sun Jian praised: "My son has grown up! ”

"My father just received an order from Yuzhou Mu Yuan Shu, and asked me to lead the army to attack Liu Biao in Jingzhou, hey, the world is really going to be chaotic!"

"Yuan Shu, hum." Sun Ce smiled disdainfully and said: "Zhida and talented people, how can He De be above his father!" Why don't you lead the army to attack and kill Yuan Shu, and let his father be the pastor of Yuzhou! ”

"Confused!" Sun Jian glared and shouted, "Just now I said that you have some insight, but now you are reckless again!" That Yuan Shu was born in the fourth world and the third duke, and there were hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, and there were thousands of civil and military forces? My Sun Jian is only tens of thousands of people, only one county, how can he compete with Yuan Shu? ”

Sun Ce was indignant and kept silent

Yongzhou, Chang'an.

Fan Chou was covered in blood and stood at the head of the city with a knife.

Looking at Yuan Shao's army receding like a tide, his heart was extremely bitter.

When Guo and Li Dao left Chang'an, they took most of the army with them, leaving only 30,000 horses and horses to defend Chang'an.

Now that Zang Hong is carrying the will of the Son of Heaven, and 100,000 soldiers are on the scene, Fan Chou wants to guard against the renegade of the family in the city on the one hand, and defends the city to the death on the other, but he is exhausted.

"It seems that Chang'an can't hold it, it's better to plan early!"

Fan Chou thought.

It wasn't that he didn't think about surrendering to Yuan Shao, but he knew that Yuan Shao would never accept it. Even if Yuan Shao had the intention of accepting, he didn't dare to risk the world's condemnation! Just because Fan Chou is Dong Zhuo's old department!

"It seems that you can only abandon the city and go to Liangzhou, perhaps, the two generals Li and Guo Yan have already taken Liangzhou, and it is not known"

Juyan.

Liu Yuan led six generals, including Dian Wei, Ma Chao, Pang De, Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie, and personally guarded 2,000 troops, with an army of 30,000.

In the big tent of the military camp, Liu Yuan sat on the main seat, Dian Weili was beside him, and the rest of the generals sat in order according to their status and official positions.

"Justice, how has the situation in Mobei changed now?"

Liu Yuan sat there, and there was more and more a high-minded, surrendering aura, and with his words, he rushed to his face.

Huang Chang groaned slightly, clenched his fists and said: "My lord, General Xu of the Shanggu Army has completely entered a state of war, and its vanguard Lu Bu has occupied Heyun and confronted the Xiongnu, Hujie, Jiankun and Ding Ling's army. As for the Wusun people, they have already reached the city of Yiwu along the Silk Road, which is no more than 300 miles away from Juyan. ”

"En" There was a whisper in the air in Liu Yuan's ears, Liu Yuan couldn't help frowning, and the air in the tent couldn't help but condense.

"There is news from the dark department, saying that the north of Longcheng has also discovered the Ding Ling 100,000 army, why does Heyun also have a Ding Ling army?"

"Well, my subordinates don't know, the lord forgives the sins." Huang Chang replied honestly.

"Alas," Liu Yuan sighed and waved his hand, "It's not your fault. Although my dark department is all over the Han world, this Ding Ling is in the extreme north, and it is common to not know much about it. However, as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other, now I don't know the other, but it adds variables. ”

For Liu Yuan, this feeling of not being in control has not been seen for a long time.

"Lord!"

At this time, Ma Chao clenched his fists and said: "If you want to talk about Ding Ling, the last general may have some understanding." ”

"Oh?" Liu Yuan's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Meng Qi and said." ”

"The ancestral home of the last general is Liangzhou, Liangzhou is mixed, and there are often merchants who sell horses. The last general once heard from a horse dealer that this Ding Ling was actually divided into two parts: east and west. The eastern Dingling was nomadic in Beihai, while the western Dingling was north of the Jiankun Kingdom in the Western Regions. Thinking about it, these two Ding Ling armies belong to the east and west. ”

Ma Chao said carefully.

When the generals heard this, they suddenly realized.

"It seems so." Liu Yuan nodded and said, "Although it was a little unexpected, it didn't matter. As for Wusun, there are only 50,000 people, and they want to attack Juyan, but it is delusional. However, this king never likes to respond to the war passively, and should reject the enemy from the country! ”

"Ma Chao!"

Ma Chao was stunned when he heard this, and knew that the order was coming, so he immediately stood up, clenched his fists and shouted: "The end will be!" ”

"This king appointed you as the commander of the conquest of Wusun, led 30,000 Xiliang elites, strangled the Wusun army, shocked the countries of the Western Regions, and subdued the Wusun Kingdom, made it a vassal, and regained face for my Han Dynasty!"

"The last general commands!"

When Ma Chao heard this, he replied sonorously!

"Ma Dai, Pound!"

"The last general!"

"Order the two of you to assist Ma Chao and conquer Wusun!"

"No!"

These people did not hesitate to accept the order because of the disparity in strength, which made Liu Yuan very happy, and said, "Come on, serve blood wine!" ”

Hearing the sound, some soldiers brought in three jars of blood wine from outside the tent.

"This blood wine has the effect of condensing the body, enhancing the flesh, and exercising martial arts. and the other three of them went forward to receive an altar each. ”

When the three of them heard this, they saw that several generals under Huang Chang's command showed envy, and knew that this wine was a treasure, so they immediately stepped forward to receive a jar each, and then withdrew from the tent to lead the army without mentioning it.

After Ma Chao and Ma Dai Pang De left, Liu Yuan said again: "The 450,000 Xiongnu and other coalition forces have gathered in Heyun, do you have a strategy to quickly break the enemy?" ”

Huang Chang took the lead and said: "My lord, the last general thinks that only 100,000 troops of Gongming are enough to destroy the Xiongnu coalition army, but if you want to break the enemy army as soon as possible, you have to use some extraordinary means. ”

"Oh?" Liu Yuan smiled and said, "What is the means?" ”

Huang Chang's face turned red, and he replied stubbornly: "The 30,000 elites stationed here will be led by the last general, bypassing the river and clouds, and killing into the hinterland of the Xiongnu and other countries. ”

Huang Chang still remembers the massacre method used by Liu Yuan to defeat Xianbei at the beginning.

"Hahaha well said!" Liu Yuan laughed a few times, raised his eyebrows, and said with murderous intent: "For foreign races, it should be like this!" One word, kill! Killing him is cold, and killing him is right! Huns? Hey, let this king complete the unfinished business of Emperor Xiaowu! ”

"Huang Chang!"

"The last general!"

"Let you lead a large army into the hinterland of the enemy country, and kill anyone you see! Kill, kill, kill! ”

A few killing words, the hearts of those who listen to it are shocked!

"Ma Xiu, Ma Tie Fuzhi, don't let this king down!"

"The last general obeys!"

After sending a group of subordinates, Liu Yuan sat in the tent and pondered, with only Dian Wei by his side.

"Lao Dian, how about we go to Heyun?"

"Where the young master says to go, I'll go!"

Liu Yuan grinned, immediately stood up, and walked out of the big tent

River Cloud Fortress.

This small fortress is now almost stained with blood.

The combined forces of the Xiongnu, Hujie, Jiankun, and Ding Ling attacked fiercely, wave after wave, hitting like a tide, but without any loss.

Although there are only 5,000 people stationed in the fortress, because the fortress is not large, the defense line is not long, and the city is high and thick, 5,000 people are more than enough to garrison. In addition, the Xiongnu and other allied armies are all peoples on horseback, although they are good at field warfare, but they have not made much achievements in siege warfare.

Moreover, outside the fortress, Lu Bujun wandered around and harassed, making a mess of high-level people who were helpless.
