An hour later, the Qingzhou fleet, which had carried out its last mission, left the dock and sailed down the river to the city of Tici at the mouth of the river.

Liu Cunhe led 5,000 elite horsemen, accompanied by Cao Hong, Xun You and others, rushed to Rencheng, 300 miles to the southeast, to meet with Cao Cao, the pastor of Yanzhou.

On the way to the march, the well-trained and well-equipped Qingzhou army once again aroused the strong shock of Cao Ren and others, all the high war horses, all the high bridge saddles and horseshoes, all the strong armor and as many as 180 military carriages, everywhere showing the strong combat effectiveness and eye-catching wealth of the Qingzhou army.

More importantly, the unique and efficient command system displayed by the Qingzhou Army during the march, as well as its integrity far above all the armies, are really impressive.

Whether marching or camping in an orderly manner, except for the cries of war horses and the sonorous sound of weapons and equipment, there was no noise from beginning to end, and even the communication between the front and back was carried out in a shocking way of changing flags, which Liu Cun explained as "flag language", but did not explain the origin and specific content of this unfathomable "flag language".

In addition, the affluence of the Qingzhou Army also made Cao Ren and others very emotional.

From the commander Liu Cun to the ordinary pawns, they were all wearing thick and warm black winter clothes under the armor on their bodies, with luxurious standard leather boots under their feet and a fiery red velvet warm scarf around their necks.

The unique rank symbols of the Qingzhou Army and the Langya Army, as well as the military merit symbols they have, are clearly inlaid on the armor on the chest of each soldier, at a glance. You know its status and military qualifications.

The only difference, I am afraid, was the two four-wheeled carriages that followed the convoy.

This seemingly ordinary sturdy carriage that requires three strong horses to pull is tall and wide. It was very conspicuous in the marching convoy, and Cao Ren and the others guessed that it was Liu Cunxinna's beauty Zhen Mi sitting in the car, and they all wanted to see the true face of this famous and beautiful Miss Zhen.

However, Liu Cun didn't mean to introduce, and no one was embarrassed to ask.

At noon on the third day, Liu Cun finally met Cao Cao and Cao Mengde, who were waiting in the snow, outside the north gate of Rencheng, and the two greeted each other almost at the same time. They shook their hands, looked excited, and greeted each other warmly. It's as touching as a long-lost confidant.

After settling down completely, the sumptuous and warm banquet began, and all the high-level officials of the Cao army, including Cao Cao's father and son, finally met Zhen Mi, the young lady of the Zhen family who followed Liu Cun in a generous way.

From the moment Zhen Mi appeared. There was silence in the lobby, which accommodated more than 100 civil and military personnel. All eyes were full of astonishment and envy, and they were all irrepressible fiery desires.

Cao Cao's son, Cao Pi, was the most out of shape, his eyes staring at the beautiful woman in front of him, stunned as if he was in the middle of a demon.

"Haha! Sure enough, heroes and beauties complement each other! Come on, come on, Zijian, just sit next to the foolish brother, Luoyang has been a few spring and autumn seasons in a blink of an eye, and you and I can only greet each other by constant correspondence. Today, I must raise a glass and drink to express my parting feelings. Ha ha! ”

Cao Cao's hearty voice broke the silence, and everyone came back to their senses quite embarrassed, and saluted Liu Cun and Zhen Mi one after another to hide the panic and shame in their hearts.

Liu Cun thanked Cao Cao again, cordially held Zhen Mi's hand, helped her sit behind him, and then motioned for Zhao Yun, who was following closely, to sit down as well.

Zhao Yun, who was still dressed in military uniform, smiled apologetically, continued to raise his head and chest, and stood majestically behind Liu Cun.

The charcoal fire in the lobby was vigorous, and the sound of silk and bamboo was faintly heard, and the atmosphere gradually became warm.

Whether it was a Wenchen who had met Liu Cun before, or a military general who met for the first time, they all toasted Liu Cun very respectfully, Liu Cun responded politely every time, and really drank the wine, and soon won everyone's unanimous favor.

Halfway through the banquet, Cao Cao raised his glass again and touched Liu Cun, and after drinking, he suddenly asked something that shocked the full hall of civil and military forces: "Brother Xian is going to Pengcheng here, how do you plan to deal with the capricious Lu Fengxian?" ”

Liu put down his wine glass and replied with a smile: "If my brother is interested, after I catch this restless guy, I will send it to my brother as a gift." ”

All the civil and military officers in the hall were stunned again, with a look of disbelief.

Cao Cao laughed, and immediately after laughing, he said something even more surprising in a tone of conviction: "Is half a month enough?" ”

Liu Cun pondered for a moment: "If you don't consider the tens of thousands of innocent people in the city, half a month is enough, but the younger brother doesn't want to see so many old and weak women and children die in vain in the fierce battle between the two armies, so I have to think of a way to let Lu Fengxian and Chen Gongtai release the innocent people in the city." ”

Tang Chinese Wu quickly understood, and looked at his lord and Liu Cun, who looked calm and calm, with great admiration.

Cao Cao thought for a moment and asked curiously: "Lu Fengxian is a brave and unscrupulous horseman, but Chen Gongtai is scheming and scheming, and under the siege of the Qingxu coalition army, which is several times his size, I am afraid that he will not easily let the people in the city survive...... If so, what is the best plan for the virtuous brother? ”

Liu Cun smiled slightly: "I'm not worried about Chen Gongtai at all, but I'm worried about Lu Fengxian, who acts recklessly regardless of the consequences, if it really doesn't work, I am willing to exchange ...... with Lu Fengxian with a war horse or weapon."

"As long as he is willing to release the nearly 30,000 innocent old and young people, women and children in the city out of the city, I don't have to worry so much, it doesn't matter if the city is destroyed, as long as the people are alive, a better Peng City can be rebuilt soon."

"Good! Sure enough, magnificent! In comparison, the foolish brother is ashamed! ”

Cao Cao sighed honestly, picked up his glass and drank it all without saluting anyone, feeling rather guilty, as if he wanted to pour into his stomach the painful memories of the massacre in Xuzhou to avenge his father.

Liu Cun knew what Cao Cao wanted to express, and he could understand what he felt and what he did, and Cao Cao's father Cao Song and Liu Cun were very familiar with each other, and they respected each other and had a good relationship, so Liu Cun didn't say anything to explain and picked up the wine glass and silently accompanied Cao Cao to drink this glass of wine.

Cao Cao was secretly moved when he saw this, and after a long sigh, he whispered his helplessness: "Brother Xian has gone all the way, he must have also seen the predicament and withering of Yanzhou, although there are not so many corpses and bones on the roadside, but the foolish brother has worked hard for more than two years, Yanzhou still has not recovered its vitality, and dozens of large and small cities destroyed in the war are still in ruins, and there are hundreds of miles of uninhabited places. ”

"If it weren't for the 200,000 stone grain generously given by Mr. Gongsun, I'm afraid that my Yanzhou soldiers would have been unable to open the pot, and I don't know what the situation will be next year, alas!"

Liu Cun comforted: "Actually, Jizhou and Yanzhou are almost the same today, but I am confident that after the beginning of spring, the people of Jizhou will no longer suffer from hunger...... If the elder brother is willing, he can send someone to Jizhou to discuss together and see how to restore people's livelihood and get out of the predicament as soon as possible. ”

"If the food is really insufficient, the Qingzhou side can also take out part of the reserve army rations and lend it to my brother to get through this difficult time in front of me."

Cao Cao was overjoyed, moved over to hold Liu Cun's hand and thanked him frequently, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and other civil and military officers all stood up and thanked Liu Cun sincerely and gratefully.

Liu Cun hurriedly got up to return the salute, but there was a dull pain in his heart, and when he lowered his head, he saw Zhen Mi behind him looking at him with reverence on his face.
