"Lord, Yuan Shu is still a little honest, and now he has begun to mobilize some troops to march in the direction of Huainan, and he only moved the gold, silver and copper coins, but the grain in the granary was not moved. The sergeant of the Jinyi battalion is now watching Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu is waiting for us to give him the jade seal before he can withdraw all his troops from Nanyang. Lu Su knelt in front of Lu Bu and reported the news of Nanyang to Lu Bu one by one.

Lu Bu nodded and said, "This trip to Nanyang, I have paid tribute to my hard work. Next, we will start to prepare for the handover of Nanyang and the attack on Yanzhou, Zijing will go to Yuan Hao and tell them, not only the army's grain, grass and ordnance must begin to prepare, but even the officials who take over the government affairs of Nanyang counties must also be prepared.

The soldiers were very fast, and we set off for Nanyang at the latest. At most, we will have to travel long distances through the boundaries of Yuzhou, although Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling is not a climate, but after all, there are more than 100,000 miscellaneous soldiers guarding Yuzhou, even if we try to avoid fighting with a large force of troops in Yuzhou along the way, but it is inevitable to encounter some unsightly miscellaneous pieces, so if we want to complete the plan to attack Yanzhou within half a month, then we must set off as early as possible. ”

"Don't worry, my subordinates will go and prepare for the expedition with Mr. Yuan Hao." Lu Su clenched his fists and promised, got up and walked to Tian Feng.

Lu Bu sat there alone for a while, and took out a delicate brocade box from his arms. Lu Bu carefully opened the box and took out a jade seal inlaid with gold from inside, but it was a priceless treasure containing a mysterious atmosphere - the heirloom jade seal!!

This jade seal has only been carried on his body for less than a year, but his cultivation that has been stagnant for many years has already shown faint signs of breaking through. But at this time, I want to hand over this heirloom jade seal, I am really unwilling' Lu Bu carefully played with the jade seal in his hand, and his eyes revealed a look of reluctance.

"Hiss~~Huh~~" Lu Bu took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled. It's as if I'm going to spit out all the stuffiness in my chest.

'I can't bear the child can't trap the wolf, Yuan Shu is just a dry bone in the grave, even if he takes the jade seal of the country, it can't be a big deal. Hmph, even if he asks him to temporarily keep the jade seal for a few years. After I killed Cao Ying and killed Yuan Shao, and pacified the Central Plains and Hebei in one fell swoop, didn't just one Yuan Shu be captured? Lu Bu thought secretly, and the reluctance in his eyes turned into firmness.

On the second day, Lu Bu took more than ten Confucian scholars who were arranged to Nanyang to deal with government affairs, as well as 20,000 iron horsemen in Luoyang City and 5,000 soldiers from the camp, and marched in the direction of Wuguan in a grand manner.

Before leaving, Lu Bu explained to Xu Huang, the defender of Luoyang: "Although the city wall of Luoyang is deep, there are still more than 100,000 Xiliang troops in the city who are being reorganized and trained, and the tens of thousands of troops in the city must not be easily mobilized. This attack on Yanzhou was a surprise attack, and there was no need to attack such a natural danger as Tiger Prison Pass.

Anyway, most of the sergeants in the Tiger Prison Pass are infantry soldiers, even if some of them are trained into cavalry with the Xiliang war horses left in the pass, there is no threat to the Bingzhou army that has experienced countless cavalry battles. Gongming, as long as you defend Luoyang Town, this time it will be a great credit, and the rest will be handed over to me! ”

Xiahou Yuan had already sent Xizuo to monitor Luoyang's every move, and after receiving the reward of Xizuo, Lu Bu led 20,000 troops out of Luoyang to surrender to Wuguan, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed. This is a dead Taoist friend who does not die and a poor way, and Yuan Shujun is not distressed when he dies in Dona, so Xiahou Yuan also specially summoned several Cao army generals in the Tiger Prison Pass, and celebrated a little with wine and meat

"Lord, the one in front of me wearing silver armor is Yuan Shu." Lu Su, who was in charge of the handover of the jade seal, pointed to the silver-armored man who was surrounded by the army on the opposite side.

"Hahaha, his brother Yuan Shao likes to wear gold armor, but he likes to wear silver armor, these two brothers are very interesting." Lu Bu waved his hand behind him and motioned for one of his guards to step forward.

"Go and give this brocade box to the man in silver armor, and tell him that what I, Lu Bu, promised has been completed, and the rest is up to him. I hope that we will not let our two soldiers waste precious time here, Xuzhou is in danger. Well, that's all, there you go. Lu Bu took out the brocade box that had passed through the jade seal from his arms and handed it to the guard beside him.

Lu Bu's personal guard respectfully took the brocade box handed to him by Lu Bu, instigated the horses to come to Yuan Shu's array, inserted the spear in his hand into the soil, and threw the sword on the ground. Holding the brocade box in both hands, he walked towards Yuan Shu step by step.

"Let him come over, I, Yuan Shu, am not afraid of an unarmed person." Yuan Shu waved his hand to stop Ji Ling, who was about to step forward to stop the sergeant, Yuan Shu's pair of triangular eyes stared at the brocade box held by the sergeant in the hand, and he didn't even blink his eyelids!

"My lord asked me to hand over this thing to you, and I have a few more words to tell you, what my lord promised has been completed, and the rest is up to you. And now that Xuzhou is in danger, please don't waste the time of your and my second army. The guard sergeant held his head high and relayed Lu Bu's words to Yuan Shu in a loud tone.

Yuan Shu didn't answer the sergeant's words at all, but took the delicate-shaped red lacquer brocade box from the sergeant's hands with some excitement. Swallowed a mouthful of saliva, carefully opened the lid of the brocade box, and a jade seal inlaid with a corner of gold was particularly eye-catching under the sun!

"Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity! The jade loses a corner, and it is inlaid with gold! Hahahaha, it's true, it's true!! Hahaha!! After Yuan Shu carefully checked it, he finally affirmed that what he was holding in his hand was indeed the legendary heirloom jade seal!

"Ahem, lord, that Lu Bu's envoy is still there, and there are many people here, so don't be too Zhang Yang." Ji Ling reminded Yuan Shu in a low voice.

Yuan Shu came back to his senses at this time, hurriedly closed the brocade box in his hand again, and said to Lu Bu's personal guard: "Your lord is an honest person, and I, Yuan Shu, am not a broken word. This Nanyang, all the sergeants are already here, I will lead the army back to Shouchun later, you can lead the army into the city now, but don't forget, you must attack Yanzhou as soon as possible, otherwise Cao Ying in Xuzhou will not come back, then you will break the contract first, and you will be responsible for all the consequences. ”

The sergeant saluted Yuan Shu, then returned to the place where his spear was inserted, picked up his sword, turned over his horse, pulled out his spear, and returned to Lu Bu, and returned Yuan Shu's words to Lu Bu.

"This Yuan Shu is also a character, a huge Nanyang, and if he said that he would drop it, he would really drop it like this. I thought that even if the jade seal was traded this time, Yuan Shu might have to make some other demands before he let go of Nanyang, or Yuan Shu would simply turn his face and not recognize anyone after getting the jade seal and directly engage our army. Lu Su exhaled a breath of turbidity and wiped the cold sweat that flowed out of his forehead because of nervousness.

Lu Bu secretly sighed and thought to himself, "You don't know how much the jade seal of the country is tempting Yuan Shu. Historically, Sun Ce captured Lujiang County that Yuan Shu had not captured for many years in a few days, when Yuan Shu cherished Sun Ce's talent, and even vaguely proposed to recognize Sun Ce as his righteous son, Yuan Shu's attention to Sun Ce can be seen! On the premise of knowing how talented Sun Ce was, when Sun Ce proposed to exchange the jade seal for Yuan Shu's thousands of soldiers and horses, as well as the three generals under his command, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Cheng Pu, Yuan Shu agreed without hesitation!!

You must know that in ancient times, almost everyone knew that a thousand armies were easy to obtain and a general was hard to find. And Yuan Shu was willing to give up Sun Ce, the son of Sun Jian, who had proven his talent, and the three fierce generals Huang, Han, and Cheng for the sake of a jade seal, which is simply incredible!

And if Yuan Shu didn't care about Sun Ce and the others at all, it would be impossible to appoint him to capture Lujiang County, and it would be impossible to propose to recognize Sun Ce as his righteous son. And after Sun Ce thought about it, he used the jade seal that his father's life was exchanged for as collateral, which was obviously a helpless move after all conventional means were exhausted.

So the only explanation is the allure of the jade seal of the country, the sentence 'ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity' just aroused the 'emperor dream' that Yuan Shu has always dared to think but dare not do! Yuan Shu faced the opportunity to fulfill his long-cherished wish, and he didn't care about any talent at all, as long as he became the emperor blessed by the destiny of his hand, what talent would not be overwhelming? This is also the reason why Yuan Shu handed over Nanyang so happily now.

"Order, bypass Yuan Shu's army and directly enter Nanyang. In addition, people were sent to contact Wen Yuan and Zilong's South Route Army and East Route Army, so that they all came to Nanyang to assemble. We must concentrate our forces in order to put pressure on Cao Ying, otherwise we will not be able to pull Cao Ying back by just harassing him. Lu Bu twisted his somewhat sore neck and issued a military order to recall Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun

Yingchuan County, Yuzhou.

Today is a clear weather after the autumn, because of the rain a few days ago caused by the rain that did not have time to harvest the grain and grass, taking advantage of today's good weather can be harvested.

"Old grandson, your daughter hasn't married yet? I think I'm a little wronged, it's better to let my boy marry your daughter than to let your girl become an old girl and not be able to marry. "The harvest time is boring, and an old farmer is stooping down to harvest corn while laughing and making half-truths and half-truths with an old farmer he knows well.

"Whew! Wang Er Mazi, you don't know about my grandson yet? Don't go to the neighbors and ask, how cute is my daughter? How many of the thresholds of my family have been broken by the old wife of the matchmaker, although the kid in your family is hardworking and resentful, but he can't say half a sentence when he sees my daughter in too honest and plain words, won't my daughter marry a stuffy gourd every day? Hmph, I advise you to die of that heart as soon as possible, my daughter will marry no one to marry that kid in your family. The man surnamed Sun scoffed at Wang Er Mazi's proposal.

"Hey, hey, since your grandson thinks that my kid is too honest, then I'm going to reveal a little news. Ahem, it was said that the night before yesterday, huh? What was that? Wang Er Mazi was just about to break some news to the man surnamed Sun, when suddenly there was a tremor from the earth, and a sound like thunder gradually came from afar.

"Boom!!" In front of the two men who were harvesting corn, a group of countless knights, dressed in black clothes and black armor, rode on extremely strong horses, like a black torrent, speeding along the spacious avenue of Xu County, and the whole scene lasted for half an hour!!

As the last of the cavalry departed, the two men who had harvested corn were covered with some damp dirt raised by the horses' hooves, but they trembled and did not say a word for a long time.

For a long time, the man surnamed Sun had weak legs, and he didn't care about how much black and dirty wet mud there was underground, so he sat on the ground and covered his heart and gasped for breath, looking very painful.

Don't look at the Wang Er Mazi and the man surnamed Sun who just quarreled over the affairs of their children, but the two of them are actually friends who have played since childhood. Seeing the man surnamed Sun slumped to the ground, Wang Er Mazi didn't care about the shock that still remained in his heart, and quickly rushed to the side of the man surnamed Sun, and saw the trembling man surnamed Sun helping him up and asking, "Is my heart hurting again?" ”

The man surnamed Sun shook his head a little tiredly and said, "It's much better." ”

Wang Er Mazi picked up the man surnamed Sun, and said as he walked towards the village: "Let's go and ask Xu Langzhong to take a look." ”

The man surnamed Sun looked at the direction in which the large group of cavalry with terrifying momentum left, and asked with some concern: "They are going in the direction of Xu County, is this going to war again?" I didn't know that the group of people just now was the army of that prince. ”

Wang Er Mazi's mood was a little low: "Whether it is the army of the princes, once the war starts, it is not us who will suffer?" After I send you back, I'll go and call the kid who wants to dance with a knife and a gun all day long to help, even if I call my sister-in-law, I must finish it today, otherwise if I am robbed by those people, I am afraid that I will not even have anything to fill my stomach this winter. ”

The man surnamed Sun sighed a little helplessly, and suddenly said after half a ring: "Erya, she really should get married, but you also know that she has had this heartache like me since she was a child, and she refused to agree to your family before, because she was afraid of hurting your kid." Since your kid likes Erya so much, let Erya enter the door of your Wang family when you find an auspicious one. ”

Wang Er Mazi suddenly laughed: "Hey, hey, you've figured it out." Hehe, in fact, I'm afraid that you will always refuse to agree to this marriage, so let my kid go to the village with your two girls last night to have a private meeting and cook raw rice into rice. ”

"What!! You Wang Er Mazi, it's really"

The two men gradually forgot the fright they had just received, and began to fight again along the way

Xu County, Yuzhou.

Kong Ling asked with some surprise: "Then, those Bingzhou troops really went in the direction of Yanzhou?" They're not coming back, are they? ”

Kong Ling suddenly got the news just now, a force of nearly 100,000 or so cavalry is galloping through Xu County, judging from the armor on the clothes and armor of those knights, it is the wolf cavalry of Lu Bu, the first prince of the world who is now in the limelight! Only Lu Bu, who occupied Bingzhou and defeated hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops, could organize such a huge number of elite cavalry!!

The thunderous sound of horses' hooves made the sergeants standing on the wall of Xu County all tremble and wonder what would happen if they faced these cavalry head-on again.

Fortunately, those cavalry did not seem to be targeting the counties of Yuzhou. Except for a few Yuzhou sergeants who blocked the route of the cavalry and were trampled into flesh, there was no news of an attack from the counties of Yuzhou.

But even so, Kong Ling, who had seen the terrifying power of those Xiliang cavalry and Bingzhou cavalry in Hugao Pass, was still shocked and sent a large number of scouts to check the traces of those Bingzhou troops, and finally got the news that the terrible number of cavalry left the territory of Yuzhou and rushed into Yanzhou, Kong Ling let out a breath of turbidity.
