Chapter 294: Returning the Lives of Others in the Way of Others
In the Han Dynasty, people believed in benevolence and filial piety, and valued righteousness, Zhang Liao had already received Cao Cao's letter, but because of Lu An's kindness, it was not good to leave directly, but dragged Lu An back and asked Lu An to let him go.
Hearing Zhang Liao's distress, Lu An frowned at first, but then his expression soothed, as long as it is not Zhang Liao's own problem, it will be easy to solve, Cao Cao, this guy has no bottom line, using such a subordinate method, but he is obviously the wrong object, he Lu An can eat anything, but he can't suffer, how can it be so easy to snatch people from him.
However, Lu An was a little fortunate at this time, fortunately, Zhang Liao had a good character and did not sneak away in advance, otherwise, this general of the army would really miss him.
Thinking about it in his heart, Lu An showed a faint smile on his face, and said: "If Wen Yuan is afraid that Cao Cao will be unfavorable to your family, then it is not necessary, I will send a letter to Cao Cao and ask him to send your family to Jiangdong!" ”
Listening to Lu An's understated words, Zhang Liao was stunned at first, and then said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid this matter is extremely difficult, then Cao Cao is a person who does not compromise means in order to achieve the goal, if I don't go to Yanzhou, how can he let my family go?" ”
"Huh!"
Lu An smiled lightly, but said with a bit of playfulness: "He Cao Cao can not sell other people's face, he must give me my face, not only Wenyuan's family, but also Bo Ming and Gongtai's family, I will let him send it to me obediently!" ”
"This?" Seeing that Lu An was extremely confident, Zhang Liao hesitated suddenly, not knowing whether to believe Lu An's words, it stands to reason that Lu An's identity should not be able to speak, but where can Cao Cao be so good at talking?
"Don't worry, Wenyuan, if Cao Cao insists on refusing to let your family return, then it's not too late for you to go to Yanzhou again, I won't stop you, what do you think?" Lu An saw Zhang Liao's hesitation, so he smiled lightly and spoke.
"Thank you General Lu, you are so obedient to General Lu!" Having said that, what else can Zhang Liao say, and Zhang Liao himself has a very good impression of Lu An, he really hopes that Lu An can help him bring his family back, so that he can stay in Jiangdong without any worries and do a little bit for the other party.
"In that case, then go down and rest, and then appoint you to your position after I have brought in all your dependents?" Lu An nodded, and then spoke.
"Thank you (General)!" Zhang Liao and the others naturally had no opinion, and thanked them all in unison.
"Arrange a better yard for each of the three of them!" Lu An smiled slightly, and thought that several of them still lived in the same mansion, and Lu Lingqi would live in her own state mansion in the future, but if there was no accident in the family of Zhang Liao, they would be sent over by Cao Cao immediately, and it would be very inconvenient at that time, so he asked the guards around him to rearrange their residences.
After Zhang Liao and a few people left, Lu An spread out a blank paper on the table and began to write letters to Cao Cao, and when the small white paper was filled, Lu An stopped the pen, and when the ink was dry, he folded it slightly, called Niu Wa, and asked him to send someone to Xuchang quickly.
"Brother Meng De, Brother Meng De, Zhang Liao is a talent, I can't just give it to you, don't blame me!" Seeing Niu Wa carefully carrying the letter, a slight smile appeared on Lu An's face, and he suddenly looked forward to Cao Cao's appearance when he saw this letter, which must be very exciting.

Xuchang, the General's Mansion
After Cao Cao asked Cheng Yu to write a letter to Zhang Liao in a threatening tone, he has been busy with his military affairs, and Yuan Shao has been preparing for war at the border recently. However, occasionally thinking of this in his spare time, Cao Cao would faintly look forward to it, thinking that Zhang Liao would take the initiative to vote for him, but after waiting for nearly a month, Zhang Liao's people did not wait, but waited for a letter sent to him by Lu An.
"What is Lu Xuantong sending me a letter at this time?" Looking at the letter presented below, Cao Cao had a bad premonition, but he still took it and opened it, with a few lines of small characters written inside.
"Congratulations to Brother Meng De for defeating Lu Bu and becoming the overlord of the Central Plains, An is here to congratulate Brother Meng De, but An heard that Yuan Shao is already preparing grain and grass and military supplies, and may be going south in the near future, Brother Meng De still has to be careful, after all, Yuan Shao has a strong army and is a strong enemy, but Brother Meng De can rest assured, if Yuan Shao really goes south, Brother Meng De can also deal with him as much as he wants, An will help Brother Meng De guard the rear in Yangzhou and Jingzhou, and will definitely not let people take advantage of the situation. Lu Bu's subordinates, Zhang Liao Gaoshun and Chen Gong, have now entered my Jiangdong and become my subordinates, but their families are still in Xuzhou, and I hope that Brother Meng De can do a little favor and send their family members to Huainan. ”
"The shaft actually deceived me like this!" After reading the short letter completely, Cao Cao's face turned pale with anger, and then he took out his Yitian Sword from the weapon rack on the side, and slashed it on the table in front of him, even the letter with the table case was directly split in two, even so, he still couldn't understand the hatred and slashed to the ground, venting his anger.
This letter, if it seems to people who don't know, they still think how close the relationship between the two is, but Cao Cao saw full of malice from it, he knew that Lu An was threatening him, if he didn't send Zhang Liao and the family members of Zhang Liao and others over, I was afraid that the day Yuan Shao went south would be the day when the other party fell into the well.
"My lord? What's wrong with you? Hearing the sound of swords in the house, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who were guards, hurriedly ran into the hall, but found that it was Cao Cao who made the movement himself, so he was stunned for a moment, and then Dian Wei asked cautiously.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Cao Cao took a long breath, endured the anger in his heart, and then spoke: "Go and send someone to call Cheng Yu over to me!" ”
"Yes!" Looking at Cao Cao's iron-green face, Dian Wei was a little worried, but he still arched his hand and quickly went down to call someone to summon him.
"Lord!" After a while, Cheng Yu hurried over, and when he saw that there was some mess in the hall, his face jumped, but he didn't say anything, and saluted respectfully.
"How's Yuan Shao's movement going on there lately?" Cao Cao asked.
"He is still preparing for food and grass and military supplies, and his soldiers and horses have also begun to be frequently transferred, according to his humble opinion, I am afraid that Yuan Shao is very likely to use troops against our army in the near future!" Cheng Yu arched his hand and replied.
"Damn, Lu Xuantong is really good at catching the time!" Cao Cao listened, his cheeks jumped unconsciously, but there was a little more bitterness in his heart, and it seemed that he was going to admit it again this time.
"Lu Xuantong?" Cheng Yu is a little unclear, so it's obvious that Yuan Shao wants to move troops, what does it have to do with Lu Xuantong?
"Just now he sent me a letter from Jiangdong, asking me to send Zhang Liao's family members to Huainan, otherwise when Yuan Shao does it, he will have to play tricks!" Looking at Cheng Yu's old face, Cao Cao said angrily. It's all this guy's bad idea, not to mention the benefits, and it made him lose his reputation in vain and become a villain.
"This, Yuan Shao is powerful, our army is weak, and Lu Xuantong is also a hero, so he shouldn't do such an unwise thing for one!" Cheng Yu said with a shocked face.
For example, although it is still in a state of separation, but in fact, the situation has gradually become clear, with Yuan Cao and Lu are the most powerful, and the rest such as Liu Zhang or Ma Teng are basically in the position of soy sauce, and among the three parties, Yuan Shao's strength is the strongest, occupying the four states of Hebei, with nearly 500,000 troops, Cao Cao is second, occupying Sili and several states in the Central Plains, with more than 200,000 troops, and although Lu'an only has two states, Jingzhou and Yangzhou are the two richest states and counties in the Han Dynasty, and their strength is not worse than Cao Cao.
At present, Yuan Cao has to fight sooner or later, according to common sense, for the sake of his own interests, even if Lu An does not help Cao Cao, he can't take advantage of the fire to rob, otherwise Yuan Shao will annex Cao Cao at once, and the rest of Lu An will naturally not be happy, so the group of strategists under Cao Cao has already discussed this, and feels that even if Yuan Cao fights a decisive battle, Lu An will definitely be a spectator, and he may help a little, and he will definitely not stab Cao Cao in the back at this time, but what is unexpected is that Lu An still dares to send a letter to threaten this matter.
"Whether he does it or not, but the problem now is that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, and we must not fight against Lu Xuantong at this time!" Cao Cao was also depressed, he knew that Lu An should not be so unwise to attack him with Yuan Shao, but did he dare to bet? He was not sure about the duel with Yuan Shao, in case he really added a Lu An to come in, under the attack of the north and the south, then he could surrender directly, and he would be beaten.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao felt aggrieved in his heart, so he deliberately glanced at Cheng Yu and asked: "Zhongde, it was you who proposed to let me threaten Zhang Liao at the beginning, and now that I have fallen into this situation, do you still have a way to let me not be humiliated by Lu Xuantong?" ”
"Below, below," Cheng Yu was sweating profusely, but he couldn't say a word, when he first offered the plan, Yuan Shao had actually shown signs of going south, but he didn't expect that Lu Xuantong would use this matter as a threat, and come to repay his body in the way of others, and now Cao Cao is not a person inside and out, it is really his fault.
"Forget it, this is the general trend, this dumb man is determined by me, you go and let Xiahou Dun lead five hundred soldiers to send all the families of Zhang Liao, Chen Gong and Gao Shun to Huainan, and he must deliver it safely!" Seeing that Cheng Yu was very embarrassed, Cao Cao didn't want to embarrass him too much after all, shook his head slightly, and sighed.
"Well, I'll do it next!" Cheng Yu was like being amnestied and left quickly.
