"What's wrong with this person?" Cheng Yu asked in surprise.

"Oh, no, no." Jiang Zhe said curtly.

Sima Lang, Sima "I don't know if he has anything to do with Sima Yi?" That Sima Yi is a character comparable to Zhuge Liang,,

Jiang Zhe was a little moved.

"Shouyi?" Seeing that Jiang Zhe's soul was not guarding, Cheng Yu woke him up with a smile and said, "Shouyi, dare to ask where did you know about this thing?" ”

"On the corpse of Ma Shoucheng" was learned when the soldiers collected his corpse after the war. Therefore, it is presented to me as follows..."Jiang Zhe explained.

"I see" Cheng Yu smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "It seems that the Son of Heaven has already secretly communicated with Ma Teng, no wonder when Xu Tian was in time, that Ma Teng would lead his three thousand accompanying iron horsemen to offend!" ”

"Not necessarily!" Jiang Zhe stretched out his hand to take the jade plate in Cheng Yu's hand, and said lightly, "Or is someone plotting behind it?" ”

"Righteousness means

Glancing at Cheng Yu, Jiang Zhe sneered, "The death of the Son of Heaven, the matter of Xu Tian, and the subsequent Chang'an Baibo Yellow Turban Quasi-Ma Teng borrowed the way. These things are extremely strange, if you just look at it, I'm afraid I don't know the end, if it's connected, hehe, it seems that someone wants to punish me

"What?" Cheng Yu exclaimed, causing Cao Cao to turn his head and ask in surprise, "Why is Zhongde surprised."

"Nothing to do, Zhezheng and Zhongde are talking and laughing, if Meng De doesn't give up, how about making a table with me?" Jiang Zhe said with a smile.

"You!" Cao Cao smiled brightly, got up and walked to sit down opposite Jiang Zhe, and said with a big smile in his mouth, "Come, tell me what you said and Zhong De together, and let me see what makes my subordinates amazed!" ”

Cheng Yu glanced at Jiang Zhe. Seeing him nodding, he whispered everything he had just said to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's complexion suddenly changed suddenly, he reached out and took the jade plate in Jiang Zhe's hand and looked at it carefully, gritted his teeth and whispered hatefully, "Good thief, you actually plotted against me as a minister!" ”

"Meng Demo wants to startle the snake!" Jiang Zhe raised his glass and said quietly.

"Shouyi means" Cao Cao turned his head in his heart for a few years, and then suddenly said, "I said why I only transferred the Luoyang soldiers and horses on the front foot, and Zhang Baiqi, who had not seen movement for a long time, sent troops to attack Luoyang" I see! After saying a word of hatred, Cao Cao immediately thought of something, looked at Jiang Zhe very strangely, and laughed in a low voice, "Shouyi told me not to startle the snake, but I chose to take out this thing at this moment."

Playing with the jade card in his hand, Cao Cao whispered, "I'm afraid Shouyi is throwing stones to ask for directions."

"Oh, really?" Jiang Zhe asked in surprise. whispered. "A discerning person can see at a glance that the stakes are so high. Why didn't the guards inquire about it later? But choose to take this thing out at this moment, in front of everyone? It's nothing more than knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, trying to make that villain mess up his own position."

"Hey!" Jiang Zhe is not helpless. I promised the family members to go back early, where is the leisure time later? Besides, how could it be so easy for that man to be so scheming and cunning and interlocking in his scheming that he must be a scheming man?

"Okay, good, you're right!"

"Hey, don't admit it yet!" Cao Cao smiled and handed the jade plate in his hand to Cheng Yu, and said in a low voice, "Quickly find out who handled this thing, I remember that Ma Teng has never faced the saint alone, so, someone must have handed this thing to Ma Teng, Zhong De, I order you to go and find out quickly, it is better to kill by mistake than to let go!" The last two sentences were extremely cold.

Jiang Zhe frowned when he heard this, shook his head and said, "The matter has come to this point, even if we find out the person, how can we make up for our losses, if we take the lives of innocent people for this person and damage Meng Dexian's name, wouldn't it be worthless?" I expect that this person is now afraid that he will know that his plot has been exposed, and he will not dare to make another attempt at this moment. Let him have room for relaxation, lest his dog jump over the wall in a hurry", I don't believe that he will not show flaws when he is anxious! ”

"I understand" Cheng Yu suddenly realized, nodded and said, "Shouyi means "to make that person mess up first." I want to cover it in the back, so that I will see it at a glance, only

"Wonderful!" Cao Cao stroked his palms and laughed. The head of the jaw said, "In this way, Zhongde might as well make a big deal about it, tomorrow you take this thing to ask the palace guards first, ask them if they have seen this thing, whether it is a gift from the Son of Heaven to others, and who it is for, ask them one by one!" I'll wait and see what happens."

"What did the lord say?" Guo Jia, who was drinking with Xi Zhicai, saw that Cao Cao, Jiang Zhe and others had been muttering something there, and he was puzzled in his heart, and asked.

"It's a long story, tomorrow you will know, I will wait today and watch the drinking and having fun!" Lang Lang smiled, Cao Cao got up and took the wine cup and chopsticks from his seat, sat opposite Jiang Zhe, and said with a smile, "Shouyi, I just listened to you." Your lady is happy."

"Ah yes, didn't you hear it just now" Wait a minute" halfway through, Jiang Zhe suddenly woke up, looked at Cao Cao suspiciously, and said with a strange face, "You don't want to think again"

"Hehe" Cao Cao smiled, holding chopsticks and pestle and whispered, "My daughter is over two years old,"

"You wait" stretched out his hand to stop Cao Cao, Jiang Zhe's face was extremely strange, and he said hesitantly, "Didn't you say that you would marry your daughter to my eldest son?" ”

Cao Cao chuckled lightly and explained, "It was the eldest daughter's day that was promised to give you your eldest son, I just said that my second daughter Xian, your eldest son is now over one year old, and my daughter is already more than three years old, I will take her to your house another day to ask you to see, how can my daughter of Cao Mengde be inferior to his family?" In the future, it will be a peerless style! ”

A three-year-old baby, can you still see that it will be a peerless generation in the future? I'm sorry for you! Shaking his head, Jiang Zhe said with a wry smile, "Yes, whatever you want, but as for the child in Zhaoji's womb, it hasn't been born yet, so Meng De doesn't have to worry about it." Let's talk about it later" Look, Zhongde smiled,"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, and I ask the lord to forgive me," Cheng Yu wanted to laugh in his heart when he saw Cao Cao and Jiang Zhe talking endlessly about the marriage of their children. But while laughing, he was indeed a little surprised: the lord treats righteousness, how gracious and respectful,

"In that case, this matter will be discussed later." In fact, Cao Cao just said that, jokingly.

After saying goodbye to Cao Cao, Jiang Zhe put on a brocade robe and walked out of the door of the General's Mansion, blown by the cold wind in winter, but he woke up from wine, looked at the sky and sighed.

The current situation is not like in history, "then the battle of Yuan Cao, the battle of Guandu, or Yuan Shu", this damn Yuan Shu, the emperor should not be called the emperor" trouble!

Suddenly. Jiang Zhe's eyes froze, and he pointed to the person who walked by the side of the set and shouted, "The one in front of you stays!" ”

I saw the person in front of him stop, glanced behind him in surprise, and saw that it was Jiang Zhe who called him, so he hurriedly walked forward and said. "I don't know if Situ is calling, but there is something important" No, no, no, please show Situ! ”

"Don't be restrained" Jiang Zhe smiled slightly, and asked softly, "Dare to ask the adult, but the surname is Sima?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, Xia Guan is indeed surnamed Sima, the name Lang, the word Boda, now living in the General's Mansion to engage in the post of writing Cao, Situ can call Xia Guan Boda

"Oh. Okay" Jiang Zhe nodded, and suddenly asked, "Do you have any brothers in your family?" ”

Sima Lang's heart suddenly chuckled, as early as the banquet, he saw Jiang Zhe take out the jade plaque and it was already bad, because after he looked at it carefully, he could almost assert it. It must have been given to him by the Son of Heaven in the first place. Although it was later taken by the second brother Sima Yi, as for why it was in the hands of Jiang Zhe, although Sima Lang did not know the details, he also guessed a few points.

I think the second brother is using this Son of Heaven to make Ma Teng enter the army!

Now that Ma Teng is dead, this jade plate will naturally fall into Jiang Zhe's hands, "What should I do?"

"Boda?" Jiang Zhe called out in surprise.

"Oh" "Oh" Sima Lang came back to his senses, forced himself to press down his heart and said respectfully, "Xia Guan has seven brothers, except for Xia Guan, the seven brothers have not yet reached the crown, and even more, they are young children who are waiting to be assisted, but I don't know why Situ has this question?" ”

"Seven?" Jiang Zhe nodded, then asked hesitantly, "Among your brothers, is there one person named Yi?" ”

Sima Lang's heart jumped suddenly, and the hands in his sleeves trembled a little.

No way? According to Zhongda, although he and Jiang Zhe have never met, how can Jiang Zhe know Zhongda's name? Isn't it?"

Thinking of the terrible place, Sima Lang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Didn't you?" That is a character comparable to Zhuge Liang, Jiang Zhe secretly said that it was a pity, but he never found Sima Lang's outstanding state.

"In that case, go back to your house and rest, and I will not leave you here

"Congratulations to Situ!" Sima Lang said with his hand.

"Okay, okay, no need to be polite!" Jiang Zhe waved his hand with a smile and walked towards his own mansion opposite.

Slowly getting up and looking at Jiang Zhe's departing back, Sima Lang was extremely shocked and difficult to calm down.

Jiang Zhe, "Is it a ghost? No, you should inform Zhongda as soon as possible!

Think about it. Sima Lang immediately hurried towards his official residence.

And when Sima Lang hurried back to his home mansion. His younger brother Sima Yi was drinking and watching the snow in Zhuozhong.

Seeing his brother coming back, Sima Yi got up to greet him, and saw that Si Qilang's clothes were covered with snow and frost, and stepped forward to leave. He laughed and said, "How can my brother be so embarrassed? Why don't you wait for the snow to stop before heading home? Come on. Brother let's drink a cup of hot wine to cool off,"

Ignoring the wine cup handed by Sima Yi, Xun Malang glanced around and said in a low voice, "Follow me to the house, I have something to tell you!" ”

"Huh?" Sima Yi was puzzled in his heart, and asked in surprise, "What's the matter with my brother?" ”

At this time, a subordinate walked over and filled a few pieces of firewood into the fire, and Sima Lang glanced at his brother intently. Strode to his room.

I saw Sima Lang's eyes glazed, his eyebrows frowning tightly, he hesitated to take a sip of the wine in the glass in his hand, and then threw the wine cup on the table and went away with his brother.

The two came to the secret room, drank left and right, Sima Lang closed the door, turned to Sima Yi and said, "Zhongda." Jiang Zhe is back! ”

Shaking his head slightly, Sima Lang sneered, "I know about this. Xu Du, who arrived around yesterday, "Tsk, I never thought that Ma Teng's strange soldiers would let him kill them one by one without much effort." Ma Teng's entire army was wiped out, not to mention, and even he died in the hands of Jiang Zhe, "Jiang Zhe, Jiang Zhe, I underestimate you too much."

"I advised you in the first place!" Sima Lang snorted, frowned and said, "Jiang Zhe is a person who is far-sighted, the city government is very deep, and he is also a powerful strategist under the lord's account, don't hurt him."

"Isn't that not a bad deal with him yet?" Sima Yi smiled slightly, walked to the table with a calm expression, Gu Zi got a cup of tea, and said lightly, "Brother, don't worry, I, Sima Zhongda, have always acted without leakage, and I don't expect him Jiang Zhe to find out!" ”

"Can't find out?" Sima Lang shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid it's going to be soon."

"What?" Sima Yi turned around sharply when he heard this, and said in surprise, "What do you mean by this, brother?"

"I'll ask you something" Walking quickly in front of Sima Yi, Sima Lang asked in a condensed voice, "At the beginning, the Son of Heaven gave him a jade plate for his brother, thinking it was glorious, and then it was taken away by Zhong Da, let me ask you, did you give this jade brand that Xiliang Ma Teng?" ”

I saw a little doubt on Sima Yi's face, frowned and said, "How does my brother know?" ”

"Woe to you!" Sima Lang sighed and said with a wry smile, "The Lord of Fang Cai set up a banquet to wash the dust for the meritorious ministers of the east and west, during the banquet, Jiang Zhe took out this jade plate from his arms and whispered to Cheng Yu, presumably asking about the origin of this thing, "Zhongda, you will be bitter for your brother."

"That's it?" Sima Yi laughed when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Brother, don't worry, this matter was already half a year ago, I had already planned, I dare to predict that even if Jiang Zhe and Cheng Yu rummaged through the entire Xu Capital City, they would not be able to find anyone who knew who the Son of Heaven had given this thing to!" Jiang Zhe's move is nothing more than knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger. With me and others suspicious and chaotic, brother don't care. Tell that Jiang Zhe to check it! ”

"You" Sima Lang was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise. "Half a year ago, you calculated that this jade plate would be taken by others?"

"No, no, no, the younger brother thought that Jiang Zhe would be killed by Ma Teng, how could he have expected today's events? Still. The younger brother has always been cautious, just in case. The people in the know were removed one after another, even if Cheng Yu traced it, it was just a few corpses, so why be afraid? ”… With it, he leaned over and picked up the tea belt and poured it for himself, his face was self-conscious, "But Jiang Zhe already knows Zhongda!" Sima Lang shouted anxiously in a low voice.

"Smack". Sima Yi's face was shocked, and the tea cup in his hand accidentally fell over the ground and turned into pieces.

"Brother", did my brother just say okay? Brother Carrying Didn't Hear Clearly"

"I said that Jiang Zhe. I already know Zhongda! ”

"It can't be". Sima Yi's face turned blue and shouted in a low voice.

"Silence!" Sima Lang scolded lightly, walked to the door of the house and listened to the movement outside the house, then turned around and whispered, "Just after the banquet, when my brother was about to return to the house, I was called by Na Jiang Zhe and asked me if I would return to the surname Sima." Wei brother replied "yes", and then he asked me if there were any brothers in the family, and Wei brother secretly said in his heart at that time. However, at this moment, there is only one way to answer truthfully. Therefore, the brother said, "In addition to me, there are seven brothers in the family", but Jiang Zhe immediately asked for his brother, there is one of the brothers named Yi. Yi! Isn't that what Zhongda is talking about? ”

Sima Yi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "How does my brother answer him?" ”

With a wry smile, Sima Lang shook his head and said, "At that time, my brother's heart was so shocked that he was confused, how to answer?!" ”

"What?. Sima Yi's brows furrowed, and he said in shock, "Didn't my brother answer to that Jiang Zhe?" He, "And he let you go?" ”

Sima Lang smiled wryly. Hesitantly nodded.

"Brother misunderstood me! Brother misunderstands me! Sima Yi's face was in a hurry, it had been several months since his brother entered and exited his brother's mansion, how could others not know? Brother's move really wants to cover up, but it will cause disaster! After Jiang Zhe went back, he only needed to ask, and he could learn that it was indeed "my brother's move made Jiang Zhe suspicious!" Brother really, alas! ”

"This". Sima Lang's face froze, and he frowned and said, "At that time, Jiang Zhe asked like that, his brother was so confused, how did he think so much? Chung Tat what should we do now? ”

"Huhu" exhaled heavily, Sima Yi closed his eyes and thought, and after half a cup of tea, he opened his eyes again. said in a deep voice, "If you make a mistake, you will lose all the games" Now I can only resign myself to fate" If Jiang Zhe really knows the details of this matter, he will come to take me tonight, if so, my brother will say that you don't know anything about this matter, and you may be exempted from responsibility

"How does this work?" Sima Lang's face was shocked, and he said eagerly, "For the sake of his life, he doesn't care about his compatriots, how can he be such a person for his brother?!" By all means, before Jiang Zhe sent someone to come, Zhong Da might as well escape from Xu Capital now

"Such a brother and all the younger brothers, it is inevitable that they will die,"

"Zhongda's talent. For my brother, it is difficult to hope that you will carry your neck, and whoever prospers my Sima family must be Zhongda! For this reason, even if you give up this body for a brother, why not? Zhong Da hurry up! ”

Looking at his brother's determined eyes, Sima Yi opened his mouth, turned around and wiped the moistness in his eyes without moving, turned around and smiled, "Don't worry, the little brother hasn't finished speaking." Maybe there is a turning point in this matter! ”

"What's the turnaround? Sima Lang asked urgently.

With a deep groan, Sima Yi paced a few steps and said contemplatively, "If I escape from Xudu now, although I can be repaid for a while if I have the protection of my brother, but after that, although the world is big. There is no place for the Sima family, which is really unwise! In that case, it's better to be restless. Watching Jiang Zhe's movements, if he doesn't send someone to get me tonight, it means that he may have some suspicions in his heart, but he has no evidence." Too benevolent and righteous, when he was in charge of Xu Du, it was only after the evidence of the crime was conclusive that he sent someone to arrest the criminal, at that time I still laughed at this person for being pedantic, but now I have to rely on this person's pedantic life "Brother, don't worry, I have thought about it repeatedly, I have not left any trace of my sister, if Jiang Zhe deals with this matter, the younger brother will not worry about his life"

is worthy of being compared to Zhuge Liang's character, even if he was shocked by this, Sima Yi settled down after a while and calmly made a decision.

"But" It is Cheng Yu and Cheng Zhongde who can deal with this matter, this person is in charge of criminal detention, and he is ruthless, if Zhongda is by him" Sima Lang couldn't say it anymore, it seems that Cheng Yu's reputation in Xu Du is indeed not so good,

"Cheng Zhongde is a little troublesome" Tapped his forehead with his hand, Sima Yi groaned, suddenly his eyes lit up, he raised his head and said, "Yes, if you are safe tonight, I will go to Situ Jiang Mansion tomorrow to meet that Jiang Zhe,"

"What" what? Sima Lang's face was stunned, and he said in surprise, "You" Zhongda, do you want to see that Jiang Zhe? Isn't this self-defeating? ”

"No, no, no, this is the best countermeasure Sima Yi smiled coldly and said lightly, "Even if Jiang Zhe is suspicious of his junior brother, but if such a gentleman has no evidence, he will definitely not say anything, I just need to move his heart with his talent, what can Cheng Yu do to me?" ”

What does Zhong Da mean "to find a position under Jiang Zhe?" This, now you should be Taoguang and obscure, how,"

"Brother doesn't know. If it is for the younger brother of others, it is necessary to cultivate obscurity at the moment, but for Jiang Zhe, the younger brother not only has to show his talent, but even more, it is not necessary to show his sharpness, for such a strategist. The opposite should be done! Moreover, tomorrow I will go to his house to meet him, and I can also explore this person's style, observe words and feelings, and know oneself and know the other, so that I can not be defeated in a hundred battles! ”

Zhong Da Mo Fei still thought

"Hehe" Sima Yi smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "God won't help me, let's save my life now, the future will be long."

"So very good, so very good" Sima Lang breathed a sigh of relief, and then seemed to remember something, and said in surprise, "Then, I'll just wait like this?" Until dawn? ”

"What else?" Sima Yi smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "If my brother thinks that the night is long, why don't you call someone to serve wine, how about I sit and drink for a night?" ”

"Alas, that's the only way," Sima Lang sighed heavily.

However, when the two of them were worried, Jiang Zhe had already fallen asleep with his beloved wife Xiu'er in his arms

At dawn the next day, when Jiang Zhe was still asleep, Cao Cao sent someone to summon Jiang Zhe to discuss the university

"Husband" shook Jiang Zhe's arm, and Xiu'er called softly, "Gong Cao sent someone to invite Husband Jun to discuss matters, Husband, get up quickly, don't be lazy." ”

"Ahh What time is it? Jiang Zhe closed his eyes, yes

"It's already Chenjun," Xiu'er said, shaking Jiang Zhe's arm.

"This Meng De is really,, early in the morning,"

"In the old days, when I was in Xuzhou, my husband got up when he was young

"It's not one time or another,"

Xiu'er listened. glanced at her husband on the couch and smiled. pretended to complain, "Is the husband also for the concubine at this time and at that time?" I remember that when the concubine called her husband to get up, her husband always agreed, but now her husband is the third duke, but the concubine's words are"

"Okay, I'll get up!" Jiang Zhe opened his eyes suddenly, sat up on the couch and looked at Xiu'er speechlessly, stretched out his hand and scraped the bridge of her nose and said depressedly, "Xiu'er's plan has been tried many times!" ”

"Hehe, the husband is proficient in strategy, and the concubine is a woman, where can I hide it from the husband" Xiu'er saw that Jiang Zhe cared about herself so much, and her heart was naturally very satisfied.

Sometimes. She misses her old life in Xuzhou very much. His husband is talented but not known to the world. Every morning and evening, although life is bland, but it is very stable, is it like now, although his husband is the third prince of the imperial court, and there is nothing lacking in food, clothing, housing and transportation at home, but once the war breaks out, how can Cao Gong, who is good at using soldiers such as his husband, not use it? And once the husband receives the order, it will be at least a year and a half. It's more than two or three years, and it's hard to see each other during the period."

Not to mention the danger of the war, the husband is not familiar with martial arts, every time the husband leads the troops outside, he is often frightened, lest the husband have a "bah!

Seeing Xiu'er looking at herself in a daze, Jiang Zhe asked in surprise, "What's wrong." Xiu'er? ”

"Huh? Nothing to do, the concubine is distracted, husband, wait for the concubine to wait for the husband to change clothes"

"Oh, that's right" While enjoying Xiu'er's service, Jiang Zhe asked, "Xiu'er, how is Zhaoji's condition?"

"I really didn't expect that Sister Zhaoji was smiling lightly, Xiu'er raised her head and said, "The imperial doctor came to see it yesterday, and sure enough, as the husband said, my sister is happy, but" As she spoke, she was a little worried on the road, and said hesitantly, "It's just that my sister's body is too weak, and she has been worried for days." I'm tired, and if I want to recover, I'm afraid there will be some time."

"What did the doctor say? Ah no, I mean what did the Imperial Doctor say? ”

"The imperial doctor said that you only need to recuperate carefully, and the husband should not worry

"Hmm" Jiang Zhe nodded, and said intently, "Xiu'er, I ask you to go and see Zhao Ji first, and then go to Zhao Ji's room when you return from the deliberations of your husband."

"This is the duty of a concubine" Xiu'er nodded, helped Jiang Zhe tie the jade pendant around her waist, and then took a step back, biting her lip and looking at Jiang Zhe stupidly.

Jiang Zhe naturally saw the affection in Xiu'er's eyes, stepped forward and smiled, "How is it, isn't your husband very handsome?"

"Handsome?" Xiu'er tilted her head and was quite puzzled, then saw the smile in Jiang Zhe's eyes, and said angrily, "It's not too early, the husband is still going to the General's Mansion, don't tell Cao Gong and everyone to wait for a long time,"

"Yes" Jiang Zhe clenched his fists solemnly and said in a condensed voice, "Jiang Zhe takes the order!" ”

"Hee-hee

Jiang Zhe went to the General's Mansion, and there was no need to report it.

nets into the courtyard. Jiang Zhe saw Cao Ang waiting here.

Cao Ang was dressed in a military uniform, saw Jiang Zhe, stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "Uncle, my father is waiting here with my little nephew."

Jiang Zhe smiled slightly. Looking up and down Cao Ang, he smiled and said, "Zi Qi already has a bit of a general's demeanor,"

"Uncle, don't make fun of the little nephew," Cao Ang was overjoyed, and said embarrassedly, "Compared to my uncle and my uncles." The little nephew is still far away, uncle, please! ”

"Please!"

When the two of them arrived at the lobby of Cao Cao's mansion, Jiang Zhe had not yet entered the door, when he heard Guo Jia laugh inside, "Shouyi." I came so late, but I couldn't eat the good tea of the lord."

"If you can't eat it, I'll rob you of wine!" Jiang Zhe said viciously.

"Haha" everyone laughed, Cao Cao took a few steps forward and laughed. "It's just a weekday, but today I am discussing major matters, but I have to clear Shouyi, don't blame me for dragging Shouyi out of the gentle township Oh Saying, he turned to Cao Ang and said, "Ziqi." Tell your subordinates to bring a few more pots of tea."

"Yes, boy, go now!"

"Shouyi, please!" Cao Cao raised his hand and said.

"Please!"

After bowing to everyone in the hall, Jiang Zhe walked to the left hand chief and sat down, looked left and right, and saw that Cao Cao's henchmen and military generals were all there, and he knew that today's deliberation was probably to discuss the strategic policy for the future.

"Everyone!" Sitting on the main seat, Cao Cao glanced around at the people in the hall and said in a deep voice, "If you are today, the west." Han Sui occupied the western Liang of Ma Teng, and fought with Chang'an Baibo and Yellow Turbans in Qinchuan; To the south, Liu Biao, Yuan Shu, and Sun Ce all fought against each other, fighting constantly; In the north, after our eastern and western armies were drawn, Yuan Shao had 200,000 troops stationed in Hanoi, and his ambition was clearly revealed! Hearing that Shouyi won the victory class, Yuan Benchu hastily withdrew more than 200,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Hanoi and other places, and wrote to me, falsely claiming that he was suppressing thieves in Hanoi, hehe, ridiculous! If it weren't for the righteousness and the timely battle to dismiss the class teacher, I'm afraid this Yuan Benchu wouldn't be able to sit still! ”

"If the enemy is strong, he will defend, and if the enemy is weak, he will attack, does the lord still expect Yuan Shao to take care of the old feelings?" Xun Yu said with a smile.

"Alas, I never thought that this is the situation now," Cao Cao shook his head and sighed. "If I hadn't mobilized nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses from Chong, Henan, and even Luoyang to consolidate the border defense, then Yuan Benchu might have sent troops early" However, for this reason, we lost Luoyang, which is really a pity! ”

The generals glanced at each other, and among them, Xiahoudun took the lead in getting up, clasping his fists and saying, "My lord, I only need to have 30,000 soldiers and horses with the last general." The last general took the head of the white wave and yellow turban Kou's first white horse! ”

"My lord. The last general only needs 20,000 elite soldiers! General Cao Ren said with his fists clenched.

"My lord. The last general only needs 10,000 elite soldiers

"Eight thousand!"

"Alright. Cao Cao shouted, frowned, and said, "If you continue to say it, you can take the head of the white horse without a single soldier?" I risked gathering you here, but I didn't listen to your nonsense! Sit down! ”

The generals looked at each other and sat down.

Shake your head. Cao Cao turned to look at the strategist and said intently. "What do you think? Shouyi, you speak first! ”

Depend on! It's not good to sit in the first place!

Muttering secretly, Yuekoubo frowned. He said, "Half a year! In such a dangerous situation before, it is better to just lose all the land than to lose all the territories

"That's right!" Cao Cao smiled and said loudly. "Half a year ago, the princes from all walks of life raised troops to attack me, and the momentum was so strong. Now, we have not lost the roots, but they are fighting each other, fighting constantly, ridiculous, ridiculous! ”

chuckle. Jiang Zhe continued, "Now Luoyang is no longer owned by Meng De, and the Tiger Prison Pass has become a lonely pass, with white waves and yellow scarves in front of it. Later, there is Yuan Shao of Hebei, it is not easy to guard, it is better to ask Lord Zhong to retreat to remember the water pass. The terrain of this pass is dangerous, there is a danger to defend, and there is nothing to do, as for the Tiger Prison Pass, let the white wave and yellow scarf fight with Yuan Shao

"Huh?" Cao Cao was a little stunned for a while.

"Wonderful!" Xun Yu thought about it carefully, nodded and agreed, "The lord doesn't have to hesitate, this plan is very good, if Luoyang is still here." The Tiger Prison Pass cannot be abandoned, this is the northern barrier; However, now that Luoyang has been taken away by the white wave and yellow scarf, I am afraid that living at this pass will attract Zhang Baiqi and Yuan Shao to covet it, and they will make trouble with the others. It's better to back down first, and let the two of them fight for each other, no matter which side loses its troops because of it. It's all good for the lord! ”

"The Art of War" Xi Zhicai shook his head and interjected, "If you want to play tricks, you must give them first, and keep righteousness and conspire." The essence of the art of war! ”

Where is Jiang Zhe humble.

"What do you mean," Cao Cao lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then raised his head and said in surprise, "You want to rule across the river from Yuan Shao?" ”

Spider can only be like this today," Xun You sighed slightly, sat up and arched his hand and said, "The lord and you must not know, I was ordered to supervise the food and ordnance war horses, and fought for many years, not to mention the lack of food and grass and military salaries, and there was also a shortage of ordnance in the army, and the war horses were even more "one less if one is lost!" ”

"Huh" Cao Cao exhaled deeply, frowned and said, "How many soldiers and horses do I have waiting for now?" ”

Xiahoudun immediately got up. Clenched his fists and said. "My lord. Dongjun Tun has 60,000 soldiers, 50,000 infantry troops, and 10,000 bows and crossbows; Baimatun has 5,000 infantry troops and 4,000 bows and crossbows, and Yanjin Tun has 6,000 infantry troops and 2,000 bows and crossbows. Pingqiutun has 12,000 infantry troops. Five thousand crossbows! ”

Cao Ren also got up and said. "Lord Qiqi, Chen Liutun has 42,000 soldiers and horses, 35,000 infantry troops, 6,000 bows and crossbows, and 1,000 cavalry troops; Guandutun has 22,000 infantry troops and 8,000 bows and crossbows! ”

Xiahou Yuan also got up and hugged his fists. "Yechengtun has 8,000 infantry troops and 3,000 bows and crossbows; Caichengtun has 10,000 infantry troops, 2,000 bows and crossbows, and no cavalry! ”

"Lord" Xun Yu also got up and said, "Now there are more than 200,000 soldiers and horses in Chongzhou, more than 100,000 in Yuzhou, and more than 80,000 in Xuzhou, but excluding the soldiers for garrison, I am afraid that the available soldiers are less than 100,000."

One hundred thousand Cao Cao muttered, then shook his head and sneered, "But that Yuan Shao, just in Hanoi, has stationed more than 200,000 soldiers, just as Shouyi said, peep into my tiger prison!" Huh, it's hard! ”

Guo Jia saw this. got up and said with a smile, "Lord, Yuan Shao has a lot of soldiers and horses. However, our army is superior to the elite soldiers, even if it is with Yuan Shao, we are not afraid, to deal with a mere Zhang Yan, Yuan Shao used 300,000 horses, which shows his incompetence! ”

"No!" Xun Yu immediately interrupted Guo Jia's words, and Zhengse said, "Our army has been fighting for years and is trying to recuperate. If you can not fight with Yuan Shao, then it is better not to fight! ”

"The lord, the minister seconded!" Xun You got up and agreed.

"Lord" Xi Zhicai frowned and said, "Now I am waiting for the east and west to win a big victory, the world is shocked, and the soldiers are newly victorious, morale is high, recently I heard the news that Yuan Shao led the army north to conquer Karasuma, Yizhou is empty, why not take this opportunity to wave the army north!" Yuan Shao sits on the four states of Yi, and, Qing, and You, while we only have half of Chongzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou, if we rest and recuperate, although it is conducive to the long-term plan of our army, but it is more beneficial to Yuan Shao! If Yuan Shao is to take Karasuma, take his war horse and fill the army. Yuan Shao's strength will be even stronger, and at that time, it will be difficult to figure it out! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Cheng Yu and Guo Jia got up and clasped their fists and said.

"I'm afraid what Master Xi said is inappropriate," Cao Cao joined the army and got up and said. "Although we are at the forefront of the army. However, the enemy Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses in the four states are still a little weak, and besides, the lord and Yuan Shao have an alliance with each other. If you start a war for no reason, I am afraid that you will be laughed at by the people of the world

"Pedantic opinion!" Xi Zhicai snorted and said in a deep voice, "The lord and Yuan Shao are old friends, and this matter is true; We have an alliance with Yuan Shaonai, and this matter is not false; However, you watched Yuan Shao's movements, that day we were attacked by the princes of the world, this person stationed 200,000 troops in Hanoi, with ill intentions, rather than waiting for Yuan Shao to lead the army to attack me, it is better for us to strike first, take advantage of its unpreparedness, first take Yizhou, and then take Qingzhou! ”

"The Lord is willing to be the vanguard!" Cao Cao's general Xu Chu got up and hugged his fists.

"You dare to rob me?" Xiahoudun immediately shouted, got up and hugged his fists and said, "Lord, Yu will have 30,000 soldiers and horses." Within three months. Decide to dedicate the Wing State to the Lord! ”

"No!" Xun Yu hurriedly got up and said, "Lord, Yuan Shao has four doors and three dukes, and the world's students and celebrities are half out of his door." If we are not completely sure, we still don't want to have a bad relationship with Yuan Shao and recuperate. Consolidate the border defense and wait for the fighters! ”

"The lord, the minister seconded!" Chen Qun, the secretary of the imperial history, got up and echoed.

The rest of the Wenchen are a little difficult to choose, I feel that Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai both have a point, Yuan Shao and the lord Cao Cao, there must be a battle, it is nothing more than sooner or later, rather than waiting for Yuan Shao to come to attack with a large army in the future, it is better to take advantage of the emptiness of Yizhou to raise troops to seize it!

"Hmm" Cao Cao nodded, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Jiang Zhe, seeing that although Jiang Zhe was sitting upright, but his head was constantly nodding, he couldn't smile bitterly in his heart, and said, "I don't know what is the high opinion of Shouyi?" ”

I was so tired last night. Jiang Zhe, who was a little drowsy at this moment, suddenly felt as if there were countless eyes looking at him. especially

"Yuan Rang, what are you staring at me?" Jiang Zhe frowned and said.

Xiahou smiled wryly. hugged his fists and sat down, and Xu Chu also sat down at the same time.

Look around and around. Jiang Zhe smiled and said, "What you are worried about must be to see that Yuan Shao sits on four states, has a vast land and many people, and has strong soldiers and horses. I'm afraid it will happen in the future

"What Shouyi said is extremely true!" Xi Zhicai said, "Instead of waiting for Yuan Shao to make trouble, it is better for us to take this opportunity to go north with the victorious army!" Xun Yu drank and stopped the drama Zhicai. turned to Jiang Zhe and said, "Shouyi, you are also fine." Familiar with the art of war, the art of war, the three armies have not moved. Grain and grass go first, but we wait, now that the grain and grass are not paid, and there is a shortage of ordnance in the army, how can we fight? ”

"If the army rises at this moment, Yuan Shao will be defenseless, and our army will be able to capture Yizhou in a few days, so why do we need a lot of grain and grass?" Xi Zhicai said in a condensed voice.

Seeing that the two groups of people began to argue. Jiang Zhe got up, arched his hand and said, "Let's go, please listen to me, what you are worried about is nothing more than that there are four states under Yuan Shao's rule, and we are only two and a half states, but you must not forget." Great. What's the use? The first thing is people, and people are the people! And, the two states, although the terrain is extremely wide. However, the sparsely populated people are combined in one place, how can they be compared to the places of Chongzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou? ”

"This" Xi Zhicai frowned. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, "This is reasonable!" ”

Xun Yu smiled slightly, sat down, raised his hand and said, "Please keep righteous!" ”

"Then there are the soldiers and horses. We now have two states and a half of the territory, and there are nearly 400,000 soldiers, but of these 400,000, there are only about 100,000 usable soldiers, and the rest have to participate in the defense of the city. What about Yuan Shao? It governs twice as much land as we do. In other words, he needed 600,000 soldiers and horses to defend, even if Yuan Shao had more than 700,000 soldiers and horses under his command. There are only 100,000 soldiers and horses available, and what is the difference with our army

"Hey!" Guo Jia shook the wine gourd and said with a smile, "The righteous remarks are novel, since ancient times, there has never been such a remark about the strength and weakness of the enemy and us, novelty, novelty, but what if Yuan Shao comes to attack?" ”

Jiang Zhe smiled slightly, sat back and said, "The soldiers are fine but not many, and the generals are planning but not there."

"This is a great word, like thunder!" Full Pet smiled.

Xi Zhicai frowned and pondered for a while, and said hesitantly, "Such a God-given opportunity, missing it can really be used against us..."

"Then strive to become stronger than Yuan Shao in these two years!" Jiang Zhe said in detail.

Everyone laughed.

"Good!" Cao Cao Lang laughed, got up and shouted, "Listen to the order!" ”

The Chinese military generals stood up one after another.

"Xiahoudun!"

Xiahoudun was out of the ranks. Knocking on the ground and clenching his fists, he shouted, "The end will be!" ”

"You continue to guard the East County. Monitor Yuan Shao's every move! During the period of affairs, you decide together. Go ahead! ”

"Yes! The end will be retired! Xiahoudun responded to the order and hugged his fists at everyone in the hall. Strode out of the hall and went to Dong County.

"Cao Ren!"

"The last general!" Cao Ren is on the list. said.

"You continue to guard Chen Liu. On the one hand, Yuan Shao is monitored, and on the other hand, the white wave and yellow scarf are monitored, and Zhong is not allowed to delay the water pass! Go ahead! ”

"Yes! The last will take his leave! Cao Ren responded to the order, and also hugged his fists at everyone in the hall, strode out of the hall, and Ben Chen stayed.

"Xiahou Yuan listens to orders!"

"The last general!"

"Order you to guard Xiangcheng, Lushan, and Ye Sancheng to prevent Zhang Baiqi, Liu Biao, and Yuan Shu from leading troops

"Yes, the last general will retire!"

"Li Tong!"

"The last general!"

"You continue to guard Yingchuan. Assist Xiahou Yuan to consolidate the western realm! ”

"Yes! The end will be retired! ”

"Zhang Liao!"

"Huh?" Zhang Liao, who was almost sitting at the end of the general's side, was a little stunned for a while.

"Zhang Liao!"

The "end" will be the end! Hurriedly out of the ranks, Zhang Liao said with his fists clenched.

Except for the shortage of state generals. I want you to make Tun Xiaopei, assist Dongjun on the left, support Xuzhou on the right, and resist Yuan Shu in the south. How, would you like to? ”

"The lord's kindness, the end will not be repaid, only the liver and brain are smeared to repay the lord's great kindness, and the end will be willing to go!"

"Okay, Bu Pei has 2,000 soldiers and horses. I'll give you another 5,000, Dian Wei, and take Zhang Liao to the camp to deliver the soldiers and horses! ”

"Yes!" Dian Wei nodded and strode to Zhang Liao's side. He said in a humble voice, "General Zhang."

Don't dare, don't dare" Zhang Liao bowed to Cao Cao, was grateful in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Lord, the last general will retire." If Xiao Pei is lost. The last will come and see you! ”

"This doesn't have to be, go ahead!" Cao Cao said with a smile.

"Yes!"

"Yu Ban, Li Dian!"

"The last general!"

"Order the two to step up the training of soldiers and horses, there must be no mistakes!"

"Yes, the last general commands!"

Seeing that there are fewer and fewer generals in the hall. There are not a few people left, Jiang Zhe thought that Cao Cao was almost appointed, and was about to get up, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to stop him and say, "Shouyi, it's not over yet, only."

Oh, then you continue" Jiang Zhe was a little embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao smiled. He shouted in a deep voice, "Jiang Zhe listens to the order!" ”

"Huh?"

"From now on, I will order you to lead the people's livelihood, civil affairs, criminal affairs, and governance affairs in the three prefectures of Chong, Henan, and Xuzhou. ”

"This" Jiang Zhe opened his mouth, and he couldn't turn around for a while.

Seeing this, Cao Cao laughed secretly. continued, "Xun Yu, Xun Yu! ”

"In!"

"Xun Yu. I ordered you to command the grain, grass, salary, and ordnance of the three states, and be sure that when Yuan Shao raised the army, we would not lack food and ordnance. Xun Yu assists! ”

"Yes!"

"Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai!"

"In!"

"You two are proficient in the military formation, I order you to assist Yu Ban and Li Dian in training, you must train a strong army, I will use him to deal with Yuan Shao!"

"Yes!"

"Chen Qun, Man Pet, Cheng Yu!"

"In!"

"From now on, you will help Shouyi take care of the land of Sanzhou!"

"Yes!"

"Wait a minute" Seeing that Cao Cao had finished ordering the people in the hall one by one, Jiang Zhe asked with a strange face, "Meng De, you divide all these things, so what are you doing?" ”

Cao Cao smiled and said mysteriously. "I want to recharge my energy and wait for a decisive battle with Yuan Shao in the coming day!" This sentence is sonorous and powerful.

In the beginning, although the world was big, it was not enough for the two of us."

You must also know that there will be a fierce battle between you and me!

It's not bad than the New Romance of the Three Kingdoms."
