When the Qiao sisters and Dong Yun were still intoxicated with the happy dream of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu Yong had already said goodbye to Qiao Xuan, and set off for Xuzhou with Zhou Cang and others in the starry night. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info When the Qiao sisters had to know the news, Liu Yong had already left for a long time.

Xiao Qiao saw that Dong Yun was crying silently, and Da Qiao was also secretly sad, and he was not angry, seeing that Dong Yun was not there, he pulled his sister to find Qiao Gong to reason.

"Daddy, Brother Liu is my sister's future husband, even if I have to leave early, Daddy should inform my sister, how can I let Brother Liu leave quietly like this?"

Qiao Xuan was shocked when he heard this, and said in amazement: "How do you know about this?" He shook his head again and said, "No." What nonsense are you talking about? What sister's future husband? When did Daddy promise your sister to Liu Gongzi? ”

Xiao Qiao said triumphantly: "Daddy said it in front of Sun Ce that day, I can hear it clearly." ”

Qiao Xuan paused and said: "That's because Daddy knew that Ying'er didn't like to marry that Sun Ce, and the original plan couldn't work, so Daddy made a temporary decision and deceived them." ”

"It turns out that ......" Da Qiao was like five thunderbolts, and suddenly his heart was like a knife, tears were like rain, and he was happy for a long time, but it turned out to be a dream.

Qiao Xuan was also sad when he looked at Da Qiao's appearance, but he hardened his heart: "Ying'er, don't blame Daddy, Daddy is also a last resort." Let's take a long-term view. ”

Da Qiao's face was pale, but Xiao Qiao said angrily: "What is the long-term plan? Daddy, you're so confused! Have you ever thought that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu originally came to ask for marriage, but they returned empty-handed, others will definitely ask the reason, and soon the matter of my sister Xu marrying Brother Liu will be known all over the city. With the reputation of our Qiao family, can Daddy still deny it? Where else can I think of it? ”

Qiao Xuan let out an "ah", slapped his forehead, shook his head again and again, and said, "Why didn't I think of this layer, how is this good?" ”

Da Qiao suddenly saw a bright light in the dark, and suddenly turned his worries into joy, his face was flushed, and he said softly: "What Daddy said in front of them, everyone will soon know, how can you marry someone else in the future." ”

Qiao Xuan sighed and said, "Ying'er, Qian'er, your mother died early, and she has been dependent on her father since she was a child. How can a father not love his children, doesn't his father want you to marry a good man? ”

"Daddy!" Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao Jiao snorted, threw themselves into Qiao Xuan's arms, and cried, Qiao Xuan gently stroked his daughter's long hair, and said lovingly: "Ying'er, do you think that Daddy doesn't know that you like Liu Gongzi?" ”

Da Qiao raised his head, there were still a few tears in the corners of his eyes, and he exclaimed, "Daddy! But his face was shy and happy, as bright as the morning glow.

Qiao Xuan pulled up the corner of his clothes and gently wiped away the tears on Da Qiao's face, and said, "Actually, Daddy doesn't like Liu Gongzi." Not only is Liu Gongzi kind to our whole family, but my father knows that my baby daughter will be happy with him. ”

Da Qiao said happily: "Daddy really thinks so? ”

Qiao Xuan said pitifully: "How could Daddy lie to you." It's just that Liu Gongzi often serves in the army, has no fixed place, and is full of dangers. The most important ......" Qiao Xuan paused and said with a wry smile: "The most important thing is Miss Dong." Everyone knows that Liu Gongzi and her will be husband and wife sooner or later, how can Ying'er get along if she marries? ”

Da Qiao's expression darkened, and he lowered his head, silent. Indeed, this is the most realistic problem, for thousands of years marriage has been practiced in polyandry, there will only be one wife, and the others can only be concubines. With the prestige of the Qiao family, how could a young lady be a concubine?

Qiao Xuan sighed deeply and said, "That's it." You go back first, and then discuss this matter when Liu Gongzi comes back. ”

Second, Qiao Shi came out. Da Qiao's face was red and white, and his eyes were uncertain. Seeing that there was no one around, Da Qiao pulled Xiao Qiao's sleeve and said, "Qian'er, if Yun'er knew that her sister also liked Brother Liu, would you think she would hate her sister?" ”

Xiao Qiao saw that Da Qiao's face was worried, so he comforted: "Sister." Sister Yun is like brothers and sisters with us, and she is so simple and kind, I think she will agree. ”

Da Qiao was ashamed and ashamed: "Yun'er is my own sister, but I ......"

"Sister doesn't want to snatch Brother Liu from Sister Yun and take it for herself. Besides, do you think that Brother Liu will only marry Yun'er? If you marry another woman, why don't you marry your sister? Little Joe was relieved.

Da Qiao's expression was a little fixed, and Xiao Qiao reminded again: "Sister, I thought that I still had to tell Sister Yun about this as soon as possible, sooner rather than later." ”

Da Qiao hesitated for a while and stammered, "But...... But how did my sister open her mouth? What if Yun'er doesn't want to? Xiao Qiao saw Da Qiao's panic, and was about to speak, but saw Da Qiao stomp his feet lightly, as if he had made up his mind, and said in a small but categorical voice: "I...... I...... I'm going to beg Yun'er. Yun'er is a wife, I am a concubine, if it doesn't work, you can ask me to be a girl. ”

Xiao Qiao comforted beside him: "Sister, don't worry, there is still a sister." I think Sister Yun will agree. Da Qiao's heart was moved, and he took Xiao Qiao's hand, and tears fell again.

"But...... But is Brother Liu really so good? Would my sister rather not marry Sun Ce as his wife, but also marry Brother Liu as a concubine? In terms of talent and fame, Sun Ce is much more outstanding than Brother Liu. ”

Da Qiao sighed and said, "Sister, I also know that General Sun is good. But Brother Liu is the first man who makes my heart move, he is so gentle, so considerate, so understanding, with him, I am happy every day. The most important thing is that I know that even if I look old and Shaohua is no longer there, Brother Liu will still take care of me and take care of me as always. As a woman, what else is there to ask for? ”

Xiao Qiao pursed his lips, thinking about Da Qiao's words, and then smiled: "I understand." Sister, sister bless you! ”

The two sisters turned the moon gate hand in hand, and saw a woman standing next to her, her face was as calm as water, who was it not Dong Yun? When Da Qiao saw it, his face turned red, and his mouth trembled: "Yun'er, didn't you hear it?" ”

Let's say that Liu Yong and others galloped under the stars and finally arrived in Xuzhou in time. Liu Bei was overjoyed to see Liu Yong, and said with a smile: "I don't want me to be able to regain Xuzhou, Chongru is really a god." ”

Liu Yong smiled slightly and said, "Congratulations to Uncle Huang." How can the last general He De dare to take this credit, the emperor's uncle is a nobleman of the imperial family, and he has the blessing of God. ”

Liu Bei's battle was completely carried out in accordance with Liu Yong's plan. Yuan Shuzhong betrayed his relatives and left, and he became a street rat early, with nowhere to stay, so he had to switch to Yuan Shao. Liu Yong immediately told Liu Bei when he learned the news as soon as he learned the news in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Liu Bei took the initiative to ask Cao Cao to lead his troops to intercept him. Cao Cao didn't know which string was wrong, and his mind was short-circuited, so he not only agreed, but also gave Liu Bei 50,000 soldiers and horses. By the time Guo Jia and the other strategists returned to Xudu and found that something was wrong and suggested to Cao Cao, Liu Bei was already hundreds of miles away. At this time, Yuan Shu had already become a lonely man, and he had no heart to fight, and was intercepted and killed by Liu Bei's army, and suddenly collapsed into an army and fled in all directions. Yuan Shu fled to Jiangting, filled with grief and indignation, and soon vomited blood and died. Subsequently, Yuan Shu's subordinate Xu Xuan rebelled, killed Yuan Shuzhi's subordinate brother Yuan Yin, took the jade seal, and presented it to Cao Cao.

Liu Bei knew that Yuan Shu was dead, so he ordered Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao to return to Xudu, and he took the 50,000 soldiers and horses to stay in Xuzhou. Cao Cao was furious when he heard this, and wanted to come to Xuzhou to crusade in person, but at this time, Zhang Xiu and Liu Yong sent an envoy to Xiangyang and did not return, and Yuan Shao was eyeing him and did not dare to move lightly, so he took Xun Yu's plan, repaired the book and Xuzhou Assassin Shi Che Xuan, and asked him to design to get rid of it. Originally, this matter was planned to be extremely secret, but Che Xuan thought he was smart and went to Chen Deng to discuss. As everyone knows, Liu Bei and Chen Qi have a deep friendship with their father and son, and Che Zhou is killing himself. Chen Deng used a little trick to let Guan Yu pretend to be Cao Jun, earn the city gate, and kill Che Zhou instead. Now Liu Bei occupies several cities such as Xiapi, Xuzhou and Xiaopei, on the one hand, he is on the court and on the other hand, he is on the list of the people.

Liu Yong saw Liu Bei's look of hesitation, and couldn't help but remind: "Does Uncle Huang know that a major event has happened in the capital of Xu?" ”

Liu Bei was stunned and said, "What happened?" ”

Liu Yong sighed in his heart, people at this time did not pay much attention to the importance of intelligence, no wonder Ma Teng in history was killed by Cao Cao into Xu Du. Liu Yong said solemnly: "Uncle Huang, according to Liu Yong's informant, five people, including the general Dong Cheng of the chariot cavalry, the prince of the partial general, the captain of the Yue cavalry, Wu Shuo, and the general Wu Zilan of Zhaoxin, and the whole family, have been beheaded by Cao Cao, and there are about 700 dead. ”

Liu Bei's head buzzed, and there seemed to be a thunder explosion above his head, his body was weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he said in a trembling voice: "Chongru, is this news true?" ”

"It's true!"

"Do you know why Cao Cao wanted to kill this uncle?"

"I heard it was for an edict. Can Uncle Huang know more? ”

Liu Bei sighed and said to Liu Yong: "It seems that it can't be hidden." Chongru, this is an edict written by today's son to fight Cao Cao. Liu Bei no longer concealed it, and told Liu Yong in detail about the causes and consequences of this matter. In the end, Liu Bei said: "Chongru, it's not that I don't tell you, it's just that this matter is too confidential, and the less people know, the safer it is." ”

Liu Yong nodded yes. Although Liu Bei has been defeated repeatedly, he never sighs and complains, he is a hero who can afford to let go, which is why Cao Cao values him. Listening to Liu Bei's deep voice: "Since this is the case, Cao Cao must have known Liu Bei's original intention." Chongru, in your opinion, how should I deal with it? ”

Liu Yong saw Liu Bei's face as usual for a moment, and secretly admired, it is indeed not simple, no wonder Cao Cao said, "Today's hero, only the king and the ear!" He said: "With Cao Cao's strength, it may be difficult for Uncle Huang to resist him." According to Liu Yong's humble opinion, the emperor's uncle should immediately send someone to reconcile with Yuan Shao and fight Cao Cao together. If Yuan Gong sent troops south, Cao Cao would not dare to divide his troops, so as to ensure that Xuzhou was safe. ”

"Sure enough, the hero saw it." Liu Bei praised, "I have listened to Chen Deng's plan, and I have made friends with Yuan Shao. Now Yuan Shao is the commander of the army with trial and matching, Feng Ji, Tian Feng, Gou Chen, and Xu You as strategists, leading 300,000 elite soldiers, and sending troops to Liyang. There was news that Cao Cao did not dare to despise it, and had personally led the army to Guandu. ”

Liu Yong said with a straight face: "Uncle Huang, that Yuan Shaozhi is big and talented, wide on the outside and jealous on the inside, rigid and suspicious, although he has sent troops now, he is afraid of Cao Cao's plan, and he will not dare to move lightly." Cao Cao saw Yuan Shao confronting each other and looked at each other, and did not dare to enter the army, if he set up suspicious soldiers and waited for the opportunity to withdraw and raid Xuzhou, how would the imperial uncle respond? According to the following opinion, the emperor should make a plan as soon as possible to protect everything. ”

Liu Bei said disapprovingly: "Yuan Benchu had millions of soldiers, thousands of generals, and many ministers, and he had already sent troops to Liyang, Cao Cao dared not to guard against it. If Cao Cao divides his troops to attack Xuzhou, Guandu will inevitably be empty. Yuan Gong only needs to wave his army to the south, and he can only take Xu Du directly and block his way back. If this is the case, Cao Cao will not be able to seize Xuzhou before, and he will not be able to return to Xudu later, and he will be in chaos without a fight. The importance of this, with Cao Cao's strategy, how can you not know? I expect that Cao Cao will not dare to attack Xuzhou. ”

Liu Yong sighed secretly, and said in his heart, but you don't know that when Cao Cao sent troops to Xuzhou, Yuan Shao would not come to save you. But this could not be said, and Liu Yong was in a dilemma and had to retire temporarily.

"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, Fang will not be defeated in a hundred battles", this experience of more than a year has made Liu Yong more and more aware of the importance of intelligence. The sooner information is detected and received, the greater the room for manoeuvre. But at this time, I "made amends", and I don't know if it was "not too late". Liu Yong no longer hesitated, and immediately discussed with Mi Zhu to reveal his ideas and ideas. And Mi Zhu had already had this intention, and the two sides hit it off and planned to establish a situation network.

There are two important points here, one is the collection of intelligence. On the basis of the shops distributed in various places provided by Mi Zhu, an intelligence network will be set up to collect political, military, economic, scientific and technological, cultural and other information, so as to provide a basis for formulating corresponding countermeasures in the next step; The second is the timely transmission of the situation. At this time, the king pigeon who came to Xuzhou from Fuyi had arrived, and Liu Yong immediately sent people to various places to establish situation stations at all levels with Mi Zhu's tokens.

Liu Yong's plan is extremely ambitious. With Fuyi as the base camp, Jingzhou was set up in the early stage, and it has jurisdiction over seven counties of Nanyang, Nanjun, Jiangxia, Lingling, Guiyang, Wuling and Changsha; Yuzhou, with jurisdiction over Yingchuan (Xudu), Runan, Liang, Pei, Chen, and Lu counties; Xuzhou, with jurisdiction over the East China Sea, Langxie, Pengcheng, Guangling, and Xiapi counties; Qingzhou, with jurisdiction over Jinan, Pingyuan, Le'an, Beihai, Donglai, and Qi two counties and four countries; Jizhou, under the jurisdiction of Wei County, Julu, Bohai, Changshan, Anping, Hejian, Qinghe, Zhaoguo, Zhongshan three counties six countries. Except for Jingzhou, which was established the earliest, the rest are the focus of the next battlefield, and they need to be laid out first. In the later period, it was extended to Sili (including Chang'an, Luoyang), Yizhou, Yanzhou, Yangzhou, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Jiaozhou and other places. Each state has a department, and each county below has a branch, and the points are mainly contacted by carrier pigeons, if it is a person, it must be a single line of contact, and the states do not contact each other, do not intersect with each other, forming a dense network, comprehensive information collection, and fast transmission.

What Liu Yong feared most finally happened. Soon after, Cao Cao ignored Yuan Shao and personally led 200,000 soldiers to attack Xuzhou. (To be continued.) )
