Being shouted by Cao Cao at such a close distance, Liu Bei finally came back to his senses, and hurriedly said with a bit of guilt: "Bei couldn't rest well last night, so I am a little lacking in energy today, and I ask Cao Gong to forgive me!" ”

"Xuande is an indispensable general in the crusade against Lu Bu, but you have to pay more attention to your body!" Cao Cao was full of concern. But he was a little happy in his heart, Liu Bei used to call him Lord Cao, but now he has become Cao Gong, which seems to be a good signal, it seems that Liu Bei is not far from completely returning to his heart.

"Thank you Cao Gong for your concern, you must help Cao Gong defeat Lu Bu completely!" Liu Bei seemed to be a little moved, and said very respectfully.

"Xuande has this heart, I am very relieved!" The corners of Cao Cao's mouth hooked slightly, and he moved the map to Liu Bei's side: "Xuande, do you think we should march into the East China Sea or Xiapi next?" ”

"Hmm!" Liu Bei thought for a moment, then said: "Bei thinks that it is a good strategy to divide the troops to attack!" ”

"Oh? Can you elaborate on Xuande? Cao Cao was slightly surprised and asked.

"Lu Bu in Cao Gong's attack under the defeat and retreat, but the army under his command is not much damage, now its heavy troops in addition to most of the town to guard the base camp in addition to Pi, there is also a small part of the garrison in the East China Sea by his first general Zhang Liao to guard, no matter which side Cao Gong to, these two sides can support each other at any time, according to the safest way, Cao Gong slowly marched slowly to destroy the most secure, but now Yuan Shao may go south at any time, in order to gain time, it is better to divide the troops on both sides, send a light army to the thunder to break Zhang Liao first, Then the whole army will besiege Lu Bu, so that the situation can be decided! Liu Bei explained.

"Hmmm! Xuande's method is somewhat feasible, but that Zhang Liao is not easy to get along, not only is his martial arts excellent, but his ability to command the army is also very powerful, if he doesn't press the main army, it is not easy to break him! Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and said.

After fighting with Lu Bu for so long, Cao Cao has almost touched the skills of the generals under Lu Bu, in Lu Bu's camp, in addition to Lu Bu himself is a benchmark that no one can surpass, the most powerful is this Zhang Liao, which can be described as both civil and military, which made Cao Jun suffer a little, so Cao Cao did not have the idea of dividing troops to attack before, for fear that a bad one would lose the soldiers and horses in Zhang Liao's hands.

"If Cao Gong doesn't give up, Bei is willing to help Cao Gong to defeat Zhang Liao, even if it is not good, it will definitely drag Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses, so that Cao Gong can march into Xiapi to deal with Lu Bu with peace of mind!" Liu Bei revealed his purpose at this time and bowed.

"Xuande, are you willing to personally lead your troops to drag Zhang Liao?" Cao Cao's expression was solemn, and he instinctively had some doubts, but after thinking about it, he felt that he might have thought too much, Liu Bei now has nothing but less than 10,000 soldiers and horses that he brought from Xiaopei, where can he go? It's impossible to vote for Lu Bu, who has a hatred as deep as the sea!

"All along, I have been taken care of by Cao Gong, and I, Liu Bei, should also make some meritorious contributions to Cao Gong!" Liu Bei said with a very calm expression.

"Okay, since Xuande is interested, then I, Cao, will naturally agree, Lu Bu has nearly 30,000 troops in the East China Sea, Xuande, since you are going to attack the East China Sea, then in addition to your own headquarters soldiers and horses, I will allocate you another 40,000 troops, and then send my clan brothers Cao Ren and Cao Hong to help you!" Cao Cao thought for a moment, but nodded in agreement. Anyway, as long as he sends two Cao family members to watch the point, even if there is any accident, there will be no chaos.

"Thank you Cao Gong!" Liu Bei didn't seem to sense Cao Cao's other intentions, and bowed down and nodded.

The two talked about some details of the troops, and Liu Bei withdrew from Cao Cao's temporary mansion and returned to the place where he lived, and he was like a different person at this time, his expression was full of a kind of expectation and a different kind of yearning, which was completely different from the kind of caution in Cao Cao's mansion.

Liu Bei hurriedly found his two righteous brothers and shared his joy with them: "Two virtuous brothers, good news, Cao Cao didn't invite those two virtuous people from Jingzhou, we should be ready to break away from Cao Cao!" ”

"Hehe, it's finally time for this day, my old Zhang didn't want to work for him Cao Cao for a long time, anyway, he Cao Cao has a few good people, and it's enough for Lu Bu to drink a pot to deal with Lu Bu!" When Zhang Fei heard this, he grinned and laughed.

"Big brother, our every move is now under Cao Cao's nose, and with Cao Cao's old scheming, it is difficult to get out in front of him!" Because the three brothers had planned it a long time ago, Guan Yu didn't feel particularly surprised, but frowned and said worriedly.

"It's okay, Brother Wei has persuaded Cao Cao to send us to the East China Sea to attack Zhang Liao, although there will be Cao Ren and Cao Hong accompanying us to monitor us during the performance, but these two are martial artists, and it is not difficult for us to find a reason to get rid of these two people when we play." Liu Bei said with a faint look on his face. If he had been under Cao Cao's nose, to be honest, it would have been really difficult to take advantage of the loopholes and leave, but Cao Ren and Cao Hong, it would definitely not be difficult for him Liu Beizhi to escape.

"Now that the eldest brother is sure in his heart, the foolish brother won't say much!" Guan Yu nodded and didn't say anything more. Cao Ren and Cao Hong are just that, if his three brothers can't even play these two people, then what kind of ambition can they talk about.

In the governor's mansion in Jiangdong, Lu An was sitting in his private study and was busy, and on the table in front of him were a bunch of important official documents collected from various counties.

"It's boring and exhausting!" Standing up and moving his muscles, Lu An swept over the affairs that had just been handled, and couldn't help but glance at his lips.

Approaching the end of the year, all the people are happily idle to have a stable year, but he, the leading boss, has become more and more busy, sometimes think about it, this fucking prince is actually similar to being a small white-collar worker in later generations, and he always has to face some boring documents every day, but the white-collar workers deal with some small things, and there is nothing wrong, and the things he deals with are related to the people's livelihood, and if it is not good, some people will suffer, so Lu An is conscientious every time he deals with these public affairs and documents, I'm afraid something went wrong.

"Someone, send these officials and documents to the front hall!" Lu An clapped his hands and asked the guards to take away these public and documents, and after he finished dealing with these things, they would all have to be returned to the officials of each county through the errands, so that the entire Jiangdong could follow the general direction of his plan.

After the guards carefully took the public and Wen away, Lu An also walked out of the study and returned to his inner courtyard, in the last few days of the year, he also wanted to spend a little more time with his father and wife and concubine.

"Lord, the girl who stopped you in Nuwa Temple a few days ago came and said that she had an agreement with you and wanted to see you!" As soon as I arrived in the backyard, the guard who had carried Gong and Wen away came back and brought a piece of news.

"Sun Shangxiang? You let her in! Lu An was slightly stunned, and then asked the guards to let the other party in.

After a short time, Sun Shangxiang followed the guards to the backyard of the state pastoral mansion, she was a big grinning person, looking around inside, not at all restrained.

"Miss Shangxiang, I don't remember having an agreement with you!" When Sun Shangxiang came to the front, Lu An deliberately teased her.

"If I don't say that, the guards at the door won't inform me!" Sun Shangxiang said confidently. After that, she also looked left and right leisurely: "Your mansion is so big, dozens of times that of my family, and it is not the same before and after, it seems to have a layer!" ”

Lu An was a little speechless, is it good for him to be a state pastor's mansion, if he doesn't build a bigger one, it's still like words, as for the difference between the front and back, it is divided into the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard, the outer courtyard is for the office of the officials, the backyard is for his family to live, and the house of Sun Ce's family is a reward from him, although it is not small, but how can the two be compared.

"What are you looking for from me?" Lu An naturally didn't have the kind of leisure time to explain so many things to the little girl, so he asked directly.

"Oh, I'm here to apologize to you, you were right, my eldest brother really doesn't want to come out to be an official!" Sun Shangxiang stuck out her little tongue as she spoke, as if she felt very embarrassed. She got Lu An's promise a few days ago, and went back to talk to her eldest brother with joy, but she was really rejected by her eldest brother, she thought about it at home for a few days, and decided to come to the door to talk to Lu An.

"That's it? Then you don't have to take it to heart, it's already in my expectation! Lu An nodded lightly and didn't take it to heart.

One Sun Ce, one more is not more, one less is not less, if you don't come out, you won't come out, after all, it's been so long, if it weren't for Sun Shangxiang's grinding, he wouldn't have given a promise of a military captain, this is a real power that can be in charge of five thousand soldiers, Huang Zhong originally voted over, and he has been a captain for several years, of course, this has something to do with Lu An is just a Yangzhou pastor, if he can serve the Son of Heaven like Cao Cao, then the people under his command will have to be promoted several levels.

"There's one more thing I want to discuss with you!" Sun Shangxiang's big black eyes rolled and spoke again.

"Say!"

"My eldest brother doesn't want to be a celebrity, so can you give me the lieutenant of the military academy who promised to give me my eldest brother!" Sun Shangxiang hesitated for a moment, but still said it.

"Poof!" Lu An almost didn't have a mouthful of salt soda squirting out, he forcibly calmed down, and then said seriously: "Are you child's play when I am Jiangdong Army?" Do you know what kind of officer a military captain is? Your second brother is just the main secretary now, and you want to lead the soldiers and horses of a girl's family! ”

"What's wrong with girls, who says women are inferior to men? Like my second brother, I can fight a few! Sun Shangxiang seemed to be told the sore spot, jumped to his feet and argued.

"Well, I must admit this, you are a man among women, and ordinary men really can't compare to you!" Lu An not only did not object, but nodded approvingly. In the future, the woman who can scare Liu Bei and other heroes who dare not enter the cave room is indeed so strong that she can't do it.
