Chapter 121: Meeting the Messenger
"Big brother, you don't need to say it, I understand everything, these guys actually did such a big thing behind my back, look at how I clean them up!" After saying that, Wang Sen got up and was about to go to find his general, but Cao Cao on the side immediately grabbed his hand and said with a wry smile: "Brother Sen, don't be impulsive first!" Originally, your generals had prejudices against me, and now if you teach them such a lesson, then everyone must think that I am speaking ill of them behind my back, and the relationship will be even more difficult to ease..."
"And the people of the two sides are also in control of the contest between the governments, and now the Cao Mansion has written to me, just to report the recent situation, let me prepare, and did not let us come forward to stop, it seems that they still have a way, and they have to fight in private.

"Let's leave this matter of Brother Sen alone for the time being, let them divide the high and low, and save us trouble later." "It's just a pity that Chen Liu, we built it so well, and now it has become a place for the two governments to compete, what a loser!"
"Big brother, don't calculate this now, as long as you can make them discourage, let alone one Chen Liu, even ten Chen Liu, there is no problem."
"It's a big deal to destroy it, but what I'm most worried about is, to what extent do they have to compare to distinguish between high and low?" Wang Sen asked puzzled.
Cao Cao also had a headache about this matter, he thought about it and said: "That's it, Brother Sen, when the battle of Xuzhou is over, it will be the time to divide the victory and defeat." β
"When we return to Chenliu, we will pull out all the people from the two prefectures, let everyone sit together and have a good chat, and resolve all grievances." "At the same time, you must also confess to them, you are not allowed to fight privately in the future, if you commit it again, how about not sparing it?"
It seems that there is only this way now, Wang Sen nodded, and agreed to it...
While Wang Sen and Cao Cao were discussing countermeasures, the generals under the palace were not idle, and everyone gathered in Jia Xu's tent.
Cao Cao guessed correctly, everything that happened to Chen Liunei now was planned by Jia Xu.
Before leaving, he told Zhou Yu to send a letter to Qiao Guolao, which predicted what Cao Fu would do and countermeasures after Wang Sen left, and Qiao Guolao also implemented it secretly.
Judging from the recent correspondence between the two parties, the effect is really good, and Jia Xu is also very satisfied with this.
And today's siege plan is also Jia Xu's intention, which is to see how Cao Fu solves this matter.
At the same time, he is also observing Wang Sen's attitude, if Wang Sen has not stepped forward to stop it, it means that Cao Fu has not admitted defeat and will continue, so he doesn't mind continuing to make moves...
"Gong Jin, judging from today's battle meeting, Lord Cao and Lord Cao don't seem to know about Chen Liu, so what are we going to do next?" Zhao Yun asked on behalf of the others.
"Zilong doesn't need to worry, we also received the letter this morning, I believe that in less than a day, Lord Cao and Lord Cao will know about this, and then we will make a decision on whether to continue to make moves."
"And now it's time for you to perform, Lu Bu is a fierce general in the world, if you can capture a few of his subordinates alive, wouldn't it be an exciting thing?"
"As for Liu Bei's Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they are also rare generals when they hear Lord Wang, if you don't meet with them for a while, I believe you won't be convinced."
"Let the Battle of Xuzhou become the stone ladder for our palace to become famous, and let the whole world tremble for us! Will the generals dare to fight? β
The soldiers under the palace became excited one by one, and shouted: "Willing to fight." β
Seeing everyone's excitement, Jia Xu waved his hand and let everyone go out according to the previous arrangement...
This expedition was divided into two armies, the eastern army, Huang Zhong as the main army, Liu Ye and Kuai Yue as the auxiliary, plus Xu Chu, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and Su Fei, besieged Xiapi and blocked Liu Bei.
The Western Army was dominated by Zhao Yun, supplemented by Zhou Yu and Guo Tu, plus Dian Wei, Gan Ning, Xu Huang, Gao Lan, Zhou Cang, besieged Xuzhou, and blocked LΓΌ Bu.
As for Wang Sen and Cao Cao, Jia Xu and Zhang Hu remained in the main army and were responsible for overall command.
In this way, early the next morning, the two armies arrived at Xuzhou and Xiapi, and at the same time completed the siege, and Lu Bu and Liu Bei also sent envoys as soon as possible...
I saw that in the camp of the Eastern Army, Huang Zhong was on the throne, looking at Liu Bei's envoy Jian Yongxun below and asked, "What did Liu Bei call you to do?" β
"Back to the general, my lord has always been with Lord Wang's well water and does not interfere with river water."
"And Lord Wang is a member of the Princess's Mansion, and my family is a loyal relative of the Han family, so why do you want to attack each other?" Jian Yongxun asked.
Huang Zhong frowned and said: "The whole world is not the king's land, now Princess Liu Ming sent my family to recover Xuzhou, we are ordered to come, what's wrong?" β
"Even if you are loyal to the Han family, I haven't heard of it, who knows if you are talking nonsense?"
"Go back and tell your lord, don't say more, when I step through Xiapi, what do I have to say to the emperor and princess!"
"Alright, you can go back!" After speaking, Huang Zhong waved his hand and asked the herald to drive people away.
Jian Yong was stunned on the spot, although it seemed that Liu Bei and Lu Bu supported each other, but Liu Bei knew that this was not a long-term solution, and he also had other plans in his heart.
That is to compete with Wang Sen a few times, let Wang Sen know his history, and then show his identity as a loyal relative of the Han family, in exchange for the opportunity to negotiate peace, so he successfully entered the princess's mansion on behalf of his soldiers and horses, paving the way for future development.
And Jian Yong's coming this time was also intentional by Liu Bei, that is, he wanted to inform Wang Sen of the matter, so that everyone could have a degree during the competition, and would not lose too much, and at the same time, it was also to prepare for peace talks.
But who would have thought that Wang Sen's men would ignore it, and look at this posture and have to fight to the end, which made Jian Yong a little overwhelmed...
He immediately shouted, "General, my family is really a loyal relative of the Han family, and there is evidence, I don't dare to talk nonsense, and I hope that my lord will listen to me, otherwise it will be a big mistake." β
"Your Excellency... My lord..."At this time, Jian Yong had already been entrusted by the herald.
Looking at Jian Yong's figure being held down, all the people in the tent laughed, and Huang Zhong also said to Liu Ye and Kuai Yue: "Ziyang, Xenodu, your trick is too bad, now this Liu Xuande is not right, his words are not good, you have blocked his way, this time the two armies are fighting, I think Liu Xuande can play any tricks?" β
Everyone laughed, and Liu Ye glanced at Kuai Yue and replied: "Lord Wang told us before he came to Xuzhou that this Liu Xuande got to this day by virtue of his identity as a loyal relative of the Han family, and he can be regarded as a character. β
"But when I meet us, it's not easy, I just want to attack the shield of the son with the spear of the son, make him embarrassed at both ends, take the initiative, and see what else he can do in the future?"
"That's right, now the initiative is in our hands, let's play for him!" As soon as Kuai Yue's words were finished, everyone nodded unconsciously.
β¦β¦β¦.
At this time, in the camp of the Western Army, Chen Gong, the envoy of Lu Bu, saw Zhao Yun and said: "General, my lord attacked Xuzhou on the orders of Lord Cao, and everyone in the world knows that Lord Wang and Lord Cao are friends of eight worships, so we are also our own people, why do you want to attack us, is Lord Cao really going back on his word, doesn't this make the world laugh?" β
Zhao Yun also knew about this, when Cao Cao sent troops to Qingzhou, Yuan Shao made a plan, and cooperated inside and outside, one of the ways was that Lu Bu attacked Zhang Xiu, and finally Wang Sen gave Lu Bu a proper identity in the name of Cao Cao, and at the same time asked him to attack Tao Qian, who borrowed the road to Yuan Shu, but he didn't expect Tao Qian to give away the state to Liu Bei, who claimed to be a loyal relative of the Han family, and this is what is happening today.
Zhao Yun smiled slightly, "Chen Gong, let me ask you, how long ago did Lord Cao let you recover Xuzhou?" β
Chen Gong thought for a while and replied, "A year ago"
"That's right, it was a year ago, when Tao Qian was still the Taishou, and a year has passed in a blink of an eye, how long do you have to prepare to fight?"
"This....this...."Chen Gong already understood what Zhao Yun meant, that is, the opportunity has been given to you, but you didn't grasp it, even if you can't take back Xuzhou, then I'll do it.
"General, you can't talk about it, although the battle of Xuzhou has been a little long, but there is no way to do it."
"Liu Bei is indeed a capable person, it is really difficult to deal with, and we have tried our best to force him to Xiapi, please give us some more time, and we can master Xuzhou." Chen Gong explained.
Although what Chen Gong said was true, everyone could also hear that Chen Gong was complaining that Wang Sen sent troops at this time and took care of his good deeds.
Zhao Yun suddenly lost his temper, "Chen Gong, you still dare to take care of this matter, let me ask you, do you know that Liu Bei is a loyal relative of the Han family, you attack Liu Bei like this, do you want to be the same as before, but you can't do it?" β
At this time, Chen Gong was anxious, this trick was too yin, when you used Lu Bu at the beginning, you gave Lu Bu a positive body, but now you don't need it, just mention the past, and make a loyal relative of the Han family, Lu Bu and Liu Bei have been fighting for a year, what did you do earlier?
However, these words can only be complained in his heart, and he must not say them, and Chen Gong has no choice but to change his strategy and pretend not to know.
"General, the court has not announced this matter today, my lord really doesn't know, I hope you understand!" Chen Gong also defended.
Zhao Yun also pretended to be suddenly enlightened, "Oh, it seems that I misunderstood General Lu, if this is the case, then let General Lu hand over the military power, go back to Chenliu with me to meet Emperor Xian, and explain the matter clearly in person." β
Hearing this, Chen Gong finally understood, what kind of handover is this, is it clearly for Lu Bu's life!
If you think about it, you know that Lu Bu helped Dong Zhuo do a lot of bad things back then, and followed Wang Sen back to Chenliu, how could Lu Bu still have his life?
Moreover, Wang Sen is from the princess's mansion again, it seems that there is no chance to save Lu Bu!
At this time, Chen Gong also began to pave the way for himself, after all, Chen Gong at this time was not the Chen Gong who betrayed Cao Cao in history, so there are countless possibilities for his future...
"May I ask the general, if Lu Bu really hands over the military power, what will the others arrange?"
Before, he kept saying that it was 'my father-in-law', but now that Chen Gong changed his words, he actually called Lu Bu, Zhao Yun's eyes lit up, and he secretly sighed that Chen Gong was smart, it seemed that he understood, and Zhao Yun immediately explained.
"Lu Bu's matter is naturally handled by Emperor Xian and Cao Mansion together, and other personnel are also placed by Cao Mansion, but there are some talents, our Princess Mansion will also take the initiative to stay, this time you understand!"
Zhao Yun said it so clearly, how could Chen Gong not understand, although the foreign war was under the management of the Cao Mansion, but the Cao Mansion was resettled, this was clearly an excuse.
Emperor Xian and the people of Cao Mansion will definitely kill Lu Bu for the sake of the overall situation, and how could Lu Bu's entourage be mixed in Cao Mansion before, there is only one way to go in the Princess Mansion, after thinking about everything, Chen Gong nodded.
"General, I understand, I'll go back and reply, so that everyone can make plans early."
Zhao Yun immediately shook his head, "Lord Chen is not in a hurry, we have time, or let General Lu think it through..."
"And I heard that General Lu has countless capable people, and the soldiers of our palace also want to meet the heroes of the world, is it better to fight two games a day?"
Chen Gong frowned, thought about it for a long time, and finally had a hint of inspiration, is it difficult that the Cao Mansion and the Princess Mansion are not compatible? He immediately said tentatively: "General, I understand, by the way, although we are now in a hostile relationship, many of my colleagues and I admire Lord Wang's personality very much, and I hope that the general can do a good job for your lordship..."
Zhao Yun smiled kindly,
"Don't worry, my concern will be transferred to the adults, and the adults will not forget you!"
Seeing Zhao Yun's appearance, Chen Gong finally affirmed his thoughts, and at the same time showed a hint of a smile, "My lord, then I'll leave in the future!" With that, he left the tent.
Looking at the back of Chen Gong leaving, Zhao Yun turned his head to look at Zhou Yu and said, "Gong Jin, it seems that Chen Ying has understood what we mean, and I believe that he will choose the right path." β
"Look, isn't it time to report back to the top?"
Of course, Zhou Yu understood what this meant, and then called the herald soldiers, Zhou Yu said to his face: "The herald soldiers listen to the order, and quickly go to inform Lord Cao and Lord Wang that our army has besieged Xuzhou City, and Lu Bu cannot hold out, please prepare for a protracted battle." After speaking, Zhou Yu took out another letter and handed it to the leading soldiers, and then said: "You give this letter to Master Jia in private, tell him that everything is in the plan, go!" β
The herald replied 'yes' and retreated.
β¦β¦β¦..
Two hours later, the heralds of the Western Army finally came to the main army tent, and when Cao Cao and Wang Sen saw it, they immediately asked: "What is the current situation of the Western Army, won't it also be ready for a protracted war?" β
The herald was also stunned for a moment, and he didn't expect the two adults to really guess correctly, and he also replied truthfully: "My lord, the Western Army has successfully arrived and surrounded Xuzhou City, and Lu Bu can't hold out, so Lord Zhou just asked me to inform everyone to prepare for a protracted war." β
Wang Sen glanced at Cao Cao and immediately smiled bitterly, this matter really made Brother Cao guess correctly, the Eastern and Western armies actually answered the same, they were all ready for a protracted war.
Wang Sen thought for a while and said, "Big brother, are they really playing tricks, or we will personally go out to sit in the two armies, so they won't dare!" β
"Brother Sen, you don't understand military affairs, even if you go, it's in vain, and I'm not easy to come forward, this method really doesn't work, now I can only look at one step at a time!"
