Huainan is not too close to Xiangyang, but it is not far, from Huainan County to Lujiang County, you can take a boat along the river by waterway.

About five days later, Huainan's intelligence company, along with Lu Bu's handwritten letter, was sent by the spies to the state pastor's mansion in Xiangyang, where Lu An temporarily lived and worked when he did not return to Jiangdong.

"Lu Bu wrote me a handwritten letter before he died, and asked Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Chen Gong and others to come to me together?" Sitting in the hall of the mansion, looking at the letter Huang Zhong wrote to him, Lu An's expression changed slightly.

He didn't have any opinion on Huang Zhong's way of dealing with it, but he was quite appreciative, although the two families were allies for the time being, but Cao Cao's soldiers and horses dared to cross the border at will to arrest people, so they should be given a dismount.

But what surprised Lu An was that Zhang Liao, Chen Gong, Gao Shun and other talents under Lu Bu were all sent to him because of Lu Bu's last words, which was too smooth, it was simply a good thing for pie in the sky, which made him a little unbelievable for a while.

These three people are not ordinary talents, but the top first-class talents in the world, Chen Gong is not to mention, he is the only strategist under Lu Bu who can handle it, if Lu Bu listened to Chen Gong's advice, with his brave and good fighting with the wolf riders under his command, he would not be beaten like this by Cao Cao.

Gao Shun is also good at training troops and small-scale elite combat, and can also train special infantry units to trap in the camp, known as invincible.

And Zhang Liao, who will be the first good general of Cao Wei in the future, not to mention, as a person of later generations, no one can better understand how great Zhang Liao's potential is than Lu An, and the battle of Xiaoyaojin has already been recorded in history and praised by future generations, it can be said that in the current Cao camp, except for Cao Cao himself, there is really no one who can reach the height of Zhang Liao in terms of commanding troops.

"Brother Fengxian, Brother Fengxian, you actually treat me like this, how embarrassing do I feel!" Thinking of Lu Bu who gave him these three talents, Lu An couldn't help but sigh, and for a while he was a little sad for Lu Bu, the unparalleled hero in the world fell, but before he fell, he gave him such a big gift.

Strictly speaking, his friendship with Lu Bu is really not very deep, and he doesn't even have any dealings at all, the only time the two meet is a duel under the Tiger Prison, Lu An said some compliments to the other party in order to survive at that time, even he himself doesn't remember, and I don't know if Lu Bu believes it is true, and he will let Zhang Liao and others come to him before failing.

Lu An couldn't help but open the handwritten letter that Lu Bu gave him, read it carefully, and then carefully closed it and hid it, he closed his eyes and calmed down slightly, and his heart was a little complicated for a while.

Lu Bu's letter to Lu An has very few words, and it is very simple, the general meaning is that I Lu Bu may be hanging, Zhang Liao and the three of them are talents, Lu Bu was a little wronged with me before, I will let them follow you in the future, you don't insult them, and I let them come to you, except for some feelings in the Tiger Prison (Lu Bu), the most important thing is to hope that you can remember a little kindness and help me take care of my only daughter.

To be honest, before this, it was hard for Lu An to imagine that Lu Bu, who had always been arrogant, showed such a soft side in the letter, but it was precisely because of this that Lu An had a clearer understanding of Lu Bu in his heart, who said that Lu Bu was ruthless, who said that Lu Bu was unwise.

In the letter written by Lu Bu to him, every bit is a father who took great pains to put all his generals on board as a foil in order to make his daughter live a better life in the future, and what is even more clever is that Zhang Liao and others are indeed great talents, and Lu An will definitely be reused in the future, if Lu An can't take care of Lu Bu's daughter, how can Zhang Liao and others be willing to serve him in the future.

"Brother Fengxian, you go well, as long as I, Lu Xuantong, am alive for a day, I will do my best to protect her, and I won't let her be wronged!" At this time, Lu An felt that the world was afraid that everyone in the world had only seen the surface of Lu Bu, but no one could know Lu Bu's affection hidden under arrogance and selfishness, but the deceased had passed away, and Lu An could no longer do anything about it, so he could only silently sacrifice for this unparalleled warrior in his heart.

After a slight pause in the hall, when Lu An came to his senses from this incident, he began to write a reply to Huang Zhong, and there was only one sentence on his letter, that is, Lu Lingqi and Zhang Liao's more than 200 people were sent to Jiangdong to wait for him, and they must not be lazy.

Xuchang, Caofu

Cao Cao, who had just been crowned a general by the Son of Heaven not long ago, was sulking in the conference hall at this time, his face was red and white, which was quite unsightly.

"The failure to arrest Zhang Liao this time is the incompetence of the last general, please blame the lord!" Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan brothers were half-kneeling on the ground below at this time, their faces were a little ashamed, and Xiahoudun even arched his hand and asked for sin.

"Who would have thought that Lu Xuantong would intervene in this matter? It's not your fault, get up! Cao Cao's gaze circled between the civil and military forces below, and then returned to the Xiahou brothers, and finally sighed and said softly.

No matter how angry he is, he will not deal with his two brothers who have been friends with him since childhood because of these things, and they are the most capable brothers.

But when he thought that Zhang Liao, whom he valued, ran away like this, Cao Cao couldn't help but be a little angry, this is a rare handsome talent, although there are many fierce generals under his command, but he lacks this kind of person who can lead the troops to fight alone, this damn Lu An, how could he just intervene at this time, and when did he hook up with Lu Bu, no wonder Zhang Liao and others ran to Huainan desperately, it turned out that they wanted to go to him by Lu Bu's will.

"Thank you, lord!" The two Xiahou brothers glanced at each other, stood up one after another, and walked into their own queue.

"You said before that the Huainan Taishou named Huang Zhong under Lu Xuantong defeated the two of you in a row?" Cao Cao calmed down at this time, but asked about the specific information reported by the two.

This can't help but he doesn't care, after all, Cao Cao is still very clear about the martial arts of his two brothers, he is definitely a first-class fierce general in the world, under his command it can be said that only Dian Wei Xu Chu and Xu Huang, who have just taken refuge, can compare, and only Dian Wei and Xu Chu really surpass them, that Huang Zhong can defeat the two brothers Xiahou Xuan, then he must be an unparalleled general.

"Yes, this person's strength is amazing, his internal qi is long, not only good at long knives, but also his archery skills are even more amazing, he is definitely a master in the world, in today's world, I am afraid that only Lu Bu, who has fallen, can overwhelm him!" Although he felt a little embarrassed to mention such a disgraceful thing, Xiahoudun still replied in great detail.

"When did Lu Xuantong recruit such a top master again? Why haven't you heard of it before? Cao Cao's cheeks twitched slightly, and he barely maintained a calm face and asked.

"Lord Qiqi, this person is a native of Nanyang, Jingzhou, he used to be the general of Changsha Taishou Zhang Xian, after Lu Xuantong occupied Changsha, this person surrendered to Lu Xuantong, but he has not been famous, until some time ago Lu Xuantong took Huainan, and suddenly he was named Huainan Taishou before he came out, but there has been no big achievements, so I don't know much about him." Cheng Yu, who had been in charge of intelligence gathering, stood up at this time and bowed his hand.

"Well, it seems that I was too negligent, I should have thought that Huainan County is the gateway to the Central Plains, after Lu Xuantong took it, he did not send the first general Gan Ning to guard it, nor did he send Zhou Tai and other veterans to sit in the town, but sent this Huang Zhong, which shows that this person has two brushes, and he should pay more attention to this person in the future." Cao Cao nodded slightly and spoke.

This is a wake-up call for him, Lu Xuantong has always only looked at talent and not qualifications, if he sees an unfamiliar face in an important position on the other party in the future, he must be careful, after all, in this troubled world, even allies are likely to become enemies in the future, and if you understand each other better, you are likely to be able to use it in the future.

"My subordinates know!" Cheng Yu arched his hand, hesitated slightly, and said: "Actually, if the lord still wants to arrest that Zhang Liao, his subordinates have a good plan!" ”

"Oh? Say it? Cao Cao became interested and asked.

"When we broke through Xiapi, although Zhang Liao escaped with Lu Bu's daughter, his family was still in the city, and Zhang Liao had an only son, if the lord was interested, he could write a letter to Zhang Liao and order him to come over quickly and ask for surrender, otherwise he would 、、、!" Cheng Yu said no, and didn't say any more, but everyone could hear what the next step was.

"I'm afraid that it's not appropriate, the big husband stands in the world, does something and doesn't do anything, and uses other people's relatives as a threat, and loses his bearing!" Before Cao Cao could answer, Xiahoudun jumped out and objected.

Strictly speaking, Xiahoudun is a very decent person, if the two armies face each other, it is okay to play any strategy, but in other cases, he hates this kind of small action that cannot be put on the table.

"What the eldest brother said is that this is indeed not a gentleman's doing, and when it comes out, it is not good for the reputation of the lord!" Xiahou Yuan also spoke at this time.

After all, in the late Han Dynasty, they all advocated the so-called gentleman's style, and if they couldn't catch someone, they would use other people's families as a blackmail, after all, it would be too inferior, especially for princes with a very high status like Cao Cao.

"Don't make a noise, everybody!" Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, making the crowd quiet down, and then he closed his eyes and thought for a while, then looked at Cheng Yu below: "Just do as you say, and leave this matter to you to deal with!" ”
