The night was dark, and the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near.

Before the envoy on the horse reached the high white marble steps in front of the main hall of the Shuaifu, he turned over and dismounted, and without bothering to wipe off the dust and sweat beads on his face, he untied the skin on his chest and handed it to the two captains on duty, and collapsed to the ground immediately after swaying and reporting it.

The two captains hurriedly picked up the messenger, summoned the guards, and immediately entered the lobby when they were finished, and handed over the special leather bags for the delivery of urgent items to Liu Cun with both hands.

Liu Cun was writing a proclamation, hurriedly put down the brush in his hand, took the leather bag with a series of red marks inlaid on the seal and was taken aback, and immediately stood up without asking, opened the leather bag and took out the letter in it, and approached the candlestick to read it quickly under the worried eyes of Zhao Yun and the guards.

After reading it three times, Liu Cun ordered loudly: "Invite Mr. Min Chun and General Taishi immediately!" ”

The two captains turned around and left, Liu Cun, who was frowning his eyebrows, sat down slowly, and muttered for a while before he saw Zhao Yun, who was full of worry, standing solemnly in front of the side, so he made a gesture of approaching and called Zhao Yun over:

"The battle situation in Xuzhou is not optimistic...... Four days ago, the 30,000 Langya army led by General Shoushan and the 60,000 Xuzhou army led by the Mi brothers joined forces, and was defeated by more than 50,000 men and horses led by Zang Ba……”

"Alas! It's really fucking weird, Pengcheng should have been recaptured by our army and the soldiers of the Xuzhou army. It was sent by the devil and the gods. fell into the hands of Lu Fengxian, who was beaten by Yanzhou Mu Cao Mengde. Look at what this is all about...... Fortunately, Mr. Gongsun rushed to Xuzhou in time to control the overall situation, otherwise Xuzhou, which is related to the safety of my Qingzhou and affects the overall situation, will never want to take it back. ”

Zhao Yun was dumbfounded when he heard this, and asked in a low voice after a while: "How could Lu Fengxian take Pengcheng under the noses of hundreds of thousands of troops?" Isn't he worried that Cao Jun or our army will clean him up? ”

Liu Cun sighed helplessly: "At this time, he is not afraid...... You think, to the west and north are the more than 100,000 troops of Cao Cao and Zang Ba, and to the east and south are the more than 100,000 combined troops of Qingzhou and Xuzhou. ”

"Lu Feng took Pengcheng by surprise first. It is safe to be in the middle of our army and Cao's army, at this time, whether it is our army or Cao's army, in a wonderful balance, no one dares to act rashly, if it is not for Mr. Gongsun to rush over in time, the consequences are unimaginable! ”

Zhao Yun wanted to say that General Wang Qi and Mr. Mi Da were there, but when the words came to his mouth, he immediately understood, coughed lightly to hide his rashness, and only after a while did he blush and humbly ask: "How does the lord think the situation in Xuzhou will evolve in the end?" ”

Liu Cun thought for a moment: "It shouldn't continue to deteriorate, and Mr. Gongsun will come out." How can the ambitious Cao Mengde rein in his edge...... I guess you don't know that Cao Mengde's henchmen Xun Yu, Xun You and others have a deep personal relationship with Mr. Gongsun. Speaking of which, Mr. Gongsun is still the master of these people, Cao Mengde's most important in recent years, the world's most famous genius Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao, and the military general Han Hao, who is responsible for Cao Jun's supervision of grain, and others, have to obediently lie down and call Uncle Gongsun when they see Mr. Gongsun, in such a situation, it is estimated that no one can tear face. ”

"Secondly, the four divisions of our army and the 60,000 Xuzhou Army of General Mi Zhu and Mi Fang have been connected, posing a huge threat to Pengcheng and Cao's army, a division of General Zhang Rao who is guarding Juping in the north, and a division of General Qin Yi who is stationed in Zhu'a, has also slowly approached Cao Cao's rear, plus the news of our army's occupation of Yecheng will soon spread, at that time, no matter how ambitious Cao Cao is, he will not dare to take risks for Pengcheng, and the final result is likely to be to take the initiative to withdraw, allowing our army and Lu Fengxian, who occupies Pengcheng, to fight hard."

"Alas! My headache now is how to deal with the relationship with Lu Fengxian, to put it mildly, if Mr. Gongsun decides to attack Pengcheng, he must completely beat Lu Bu down, otherwise there will be endless troubles! ”

Zhao Yun's hands hanging on the side of his legs clenched into fists unconsciously, and his bright eyes flashed with irrepressible battle intent.

Liu Cun was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Zilong, don't worry that there is no chance to make meritorious contributions, the next thing is a battle, and the day after tomorrow at the latest, we will order all the men and horses to go north quickly, if my speculation is correct, Yuan Benchu is likely to have adopted the strategy of breaking the wrist of a strong man, leaving one or two generals to lead two to thirty thousand troops to break the rear, and make every effort to stop the entanglement of General Zhang He and General Fu Min, and lead the main army to rush back to Yecheng day and night." ”

Zhao Yun nodded with some regret, and suddenly remembered the fierce general of the Yuan army, Lu Yi, who had not heard from the fierce general of the Yuan army since the Xianbei cavalry entered the upper valley: "My lord, will Lu Yi and the Xianbei cavalry have already gone south at this time and joined Yuan Benchu's main army?" ”

"Lu Yi is not so fast, General Gongsun's ability should be very clear, Lu Yi not only angered General Gongsun this time, but also committed the taboo of colluding with foreign clans, and was forced to leave the battlefield and turn north General Gongsun and 100,000 Youzhou soldiers will never let him go easily."

"Even if the famous generals Xian Yufu, who has always supported Lord Liu Yu and fought endlessly with General Gongsun, and Yan Rou's department and Lu Yi united, they can't defeat the 100,000 elites of General Gongsun who are well-equipped and morale-strong, and the final result can only be ......"

"Oh yes, thanks to your reminder, I immediately wrote a letter to Zhang He and Fu Min, reminding them to pay close attention to the movements of Youzhou, once Lu Yi led his troops south, immediately launched a merciless attack, Lu Yi this person is capricious, and his nature is brutal and harms countless people, such a scourge must not be left."

After Liu Cun finished speaking, he lifted the brush again, and Zhao Yun stood aside silently, putting aside the Xuzhou battlefield thousands of miles away, and began to think about the upcoming battle with Yuan Shao's army.

After Liu Cun finished writing the secret letter to Zhang He and Fu Min, Tai Shici, Min Chun, and Zhao Li arrived at the same time, Liu Cun handed over the secret letter to the herald, instructed everyone to sit down and report the battle situation in Xuzhou in detail, and finally made clear requests to Min Chun and Tai Shici:

"With Mr. Gongsun in command, the situation in Xuzhou should not deteriorate, the top priority is that we must stabilize the situation in Yecheng as soon as possible, pacify those who should be pacified, kill those who should be killed as soon as possible, and there must be no turmoil after the main force of our army goes north! Please, Mr. Bodian! ”

Min Chun hurriedly got up and saluted: "Lord, please rest assured, tonight's liquidation operation is very successful, I believe that Yecheng will not be chaotic again, the only concern of the subordinates is that after the lord leads the main force to the north, Yecheng's troops may be insufficient, after all, the surrounding counties have not yet been pacified, and the breach in the east city wall needs to be guarded and repaired, and the subordinates are ...... in their hands."

"The Ninth Division is left to you, and the 1st Brigade of Li Zao and the 1st Brigade of Xu Sheng's infantry stationed in the south of the city are also left behind for your dispatch, is this enough?" Liu Cun asked.

Min Chun suddenly put his mind at ease: "Enough, enough!" Thank you for your compassion! As long as the Ninth Division can stay, with the prestige of General Geng Wu, it will definitely be able to select 20,000 people from among the 20,000 soldiers and 50,000 people who have nowhere to go to form a new army to attack the surrounding counties, so that the safety of Yecheng will be completely worry-free. ”

Liu Cun turned to Tai Shici: "What is the change in Taihang Mountain in the west?" ”

"The elite of the scout battalion of our army and the five squads of the tiger and leopard battalion have been lurking at the western foot of Taihang Mountain to observe closely, and so far no abnormalities have been found, and the Yellow Turban of Montenegro would not have thought that our army would take Yecheng so quickly, and it is likely that as we speculated before, it has been attracted by the battle of Hedong that was first launched. It is estimated that at this time, Brother Guan Hai and the military advisor are going to have a headache. Tai Shi Cile replied haha.

Liu Cun was also happy: "The military advisor may have a headache, Guan Hai is absolutely fine, many generals in the Yellow Turban of Montenegro and Guan Hai were brothers of the same origin before, and they have long been familiar with each other, maybe Guan Hai can give us some surprise after meeting them, but it is really not good to give them some food, support them with some weapons, and let them go to fight Yufuluo who is entrenched in Taiyuan." ”

Everyone laughed, and Tai Shici rushed back to convey Liu Cun's order after laughing, but Min Chun and Zhao Li stayed. (To be continued......)
