The night sky in early summer is very pure, and the stars overhead are so bright that you can almost reach for them.

The starlight was like a veil, shining on the tall bodies of the cavalry. They reflected their shadows on the rocks, on the trees, and quickly left, everyone was trying their best to hurry, and under this bright starry sky, almost everyone lost the peace they deserved.

"General Wenchang, what now? You've got to get an idea! Li Shiyi rode after Wei Yan's side, lowered his voice, and asked hurriedly.

"What to do? Cold! Wei Yan rolled his eyes, and his tone was full of depression.

"That Zhang Yang is really a waste, the lord has long told him to do what he can, if he really can't control the situation, he will withdraw to Chaoge or Dongjun, but he refuses, and he stubbornly guards Huaixian without moving, like a hibernating bear. It's good now, the lord is no longer in Yanzhou, he suddenly made a fuss again, thinking**, isn't this a fool! What did you do earlier? ”

"Wen Chang! Be quiet, be quiet, and don't let anyone hear you. The night was silent, the voice spread far away, Wei Yan had resentment in his heart, and his voice was originally loud, this shouting immediately alarmed many people, and scared Li Shiyi to stop him.

"I heard it, I heard it, and so-and-so was right." Wei Yan muttered unconvinced, but after all, he also understood that it was a big deal, and his voice suddenly lowered: "What can Zhang Yang save?" Rescue him, isn't he a waste? What's more, how do you think about this matter, it can't be some conspiracy and tricks played by Cao **, right? ”

Li Shiyi was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Conspiracy? What kind of conspiracy? ”

"Isn't that clear?" Wei Yan's surname is inherently kind, tolerant, on the contrary, he is a complete conspiracy theorist, speculating on people's hearts from the worst angle, which is what he is best at.

"Zhang Yang had a battle with Ziyi and Zilong in Hebei, and they were defeated and lost, and most of the soldiers and horses under his descendants were lost.

It was precisely because he saw through the essence of Zhang Yang that the lord sent several messages to Hanoi, asking him to give up Hanoi as soon as possible, and not to wait until the situation got out of control before he regretted it. It doesn't matter if Hanoi falls into the hands of poison, as long as it is the best time, it can be under the banner of Zhang Yang, then it will get twice the result with half the effort. As a result, this guy refused to leave. ”

"A certain person has dealt with Zhang Yang in Hanoi, although he is not a hero, but he is not a fool, it is impossible for him not to know the good intentions of the lord. So, I suspect that Zhang Yang may have been controlled a long time ago, well, Bacheng is that Dong Zhao, it is said that this person often goes to Luoyang, think about it, this back and forth, isn't it normal to hook up with Annihilation? ”

Li Shi nodded, although he also knew that Wei Yan's surname was dark, but in troubled times, this way of treating people with the heart of a villain was often more accurate than the so-called gentleman's style.

If Cao ** saw through the relationship between Lu Bu and Zhang Yang very early, laid out through Dong Zhao, and suddenly plotted at a critical moment, it is really very possible. Cao ** has such foresight and intelligence, Dong Zhao also has the conditions to conspire with Cao **, and Yu Poison and Zhenggu do not agree with Zhang Yan, and they also have a grudge with Qingzhou, so it is reasonable for Dong Zhao to thread the needle and hook up with Cao **.

As for Zhang Yang's role in Lu Bu, as long as you see that after Lu Bu got the letter, he immediately rushed out desperately. If Cao ** really planned like this, then Li Shiyi would only be shocked and admired.

"No wonder the lord always says that Cao ** is the biggest obstacle to our army's unification of the world, if Wen Chang is not bad, then this person's wisdom can simply be dominated in the world, and those who can stand out from the right, including the lord, I am afraid that there are only three or four people."

"Ahem, Brother Eleven, if you say that, you are raising the morale of others and destroying your own prestige." Wei Yan was very unhappy when he heard this, coughed lightly, pointed to his nose and said: "Don't say that the lord has expected it, and wants to send Wen Hou to lead his troops north to help in the war, just say I, didn't I also see through Cao Thief's plan to annihilate the thief?" ”

"That's right." Li Shiyi nodded kindly, and asked, "Does Wen Chang have a good plan to break the situation?" ”

"This ......" Wei Yan was stuck. What could he do?

The letter was sent by Zhang Yang's confidants, and the handwriting was also Zhang Yang's own handwriting. The letter said that in order to respond to the Qingzhou Army, Zhang Yang gathered his cronies on the sixth day of the fourth month, that is, two days ago, and carried out the ** operation. His goal is to kill Yu Poison and Zhenggu, and to capture the king first, and then control the overall situation in Hanoi, and then cross the river to launch an offensive against Luoyang.

The result ended in failure.

Zhang Yang fought a chaotic battle in Huai County, and finally escaped with hundreds of personal guards, while Yu Poison and Zhenggu chased after him. fled all the way east, and finally Zhang Yang was blocked in Xiao Xiuwu between Xiuwu City and Huojia City. Hundreds of remnants of the army were surrounded by tens of thousands of legions that were poisonous and stubborn, if it weren't for the high walls of Xiaoxiu Wucheng and the extremely good defense, maybe Zhang Yang wouldn't even have a chance to ask for help.

Lu Bu and Zhang Yang have a life-and-death relationship, and they are deeply righteous, and it is impossible to persuade Lu Bu to turn back when the latter is in danger. What's more, Wang Yu is not here, with Lu Bu's arrogance, if Jia Xu or someone strictly forbids him to attack, it may not be possible to turn his face.

Wei Yan fought side by side with Lu Bu during this time and had a certain friendship, but it was far from reaching the point where he could persuade Lu Bu to give up the rescue.

In fact, when Lu Bu left Lihu City, Wei Yan had already persuaded him once. Lu Bu's answer is also reasonable.

Xiao Xiuwu's location is between Huaixian and Chaoge, which is a blank area. If the Qingzhou army wants to rescue, the most convenient way is to send troops from Wei County, but Wei County now has no soldiers, only local troops and militia, and the defense is more than enough, and the attack is weak.

In addition to Wei Jun, it is Yu Ban's Department of Fengqiu that is the closest, but Yu Ban is confronting Cao **, and it is impossible to free up his hands to go to Hanoi to save Zhang Yang.

Therefore, the most suitable for sending troops is Lu Bujun.

It is only less than 200 miles away from Xiao Xiuwu from the fox, and at the speed of the wolf riding and trapping the camp in the state, it only takes two days to reach the destination. Yu Poison and Zhenggu, who besieged Zhang Yang, were just a group of rabble, although there were 10,000 people, they would definitely not be able to stop the thunderous blow of Lu Bujun's army.

Lu Bu assured that after rescuing Zhang Yang, he would not fall in love with the battle, and would evacuate directly in the direction of Chaoge. If nothing else, counting the siege relief operation, it will only take four to five days in total, which is enough to complete the rescue and retreat into the territory under your control. No matter what Cao ** does next, as long as Lu Bujun rests for a day and a half, he can quickly enter the battle without any risk of making a mistake.

In the face of Lu Bu, who was full of words, Wei Yan was also lackluster. If you want to say it, you can only take out his conspiracy theories.

However, not everyone is as modest and cautious as Li Shiyi, and can listen to conspiracy theories without any guilt. Wei Yan thought to himself, if he told Lu Bu this set of rhetoric, it would be bad if he would be regarded as a villain who sowed discord.

Therefore, Li Shiyi asked him, and he could only answer with 'cold salad'.

After being relatively speechless for a while, Li Shiyi suddenly thought of something and proposed, "Why don't you ask General Gao for help?" ”

"Xunyi," Wei Yan smacked his lips as if he had a toothache and shook his head: "Xunyi, that guy is a stuffy gourd, in fact, before the army started, he also came to persuade him, but Wen Hou refused to listen." ”

"Is there such a thing?" Li Shiyi exclaimed in surprise: "Why didn't I see it? ”

"Time is too short, if you don't pay attention, you will miss it all at once." Wei Yan replied with a strange expression: "Xunyi is to walk in front of Wen Hou and say: The situation is unknown, don't enter lightly." Then Wen Hou replied: I have my own plans. Then, Xunyi left. ”

"Huh?" Li Shiyi's mouth was wide open, and his chin almost fell into the saddle. He had long heard that Gao Shun was a taciturn person, but he never imagined that this person would be so silent. Knowing that the situation is unclear and you can't enter lightly, how can the lord just say that he has his own plans and keep silent?

"So, it would be nice if Wen Yuan was here." Wei Yan sighed with affection: "In the past, it was also proposed by Yiyi, Wen Yuan expanded the discussion, and advised Wen Hou together, and dissuaded Wen Hou many times from going his own way, but now, what ......?"

"There's no way around it." Li Shiyi also sighed, and suddenly, his words changed, and his expression became solemn: "However, Wen Chang, should our Hidden Mist Army be ......?"

He didn't finish his words, but what kind of person was Wei Yan, how could he not hear the sound outside the words? Due to the limited number of people, the pure combat power of the Hidden Mist Army is not very high, but it can often play a major role in other aspects, achieving the effect of greatly increasing the combat power of friendly forces, or greatly weakening enemy forces.

Lu Bu insisted on going his own way, and he couldn't control him for the time being. In this case, it's better to simply break up the gang first, you can't leave your tens of thousands of robes behind and take the fire for others, right?

Wei Yan actually had such thoughts faintly, but after pondering for a moment, he still shook his head: "The lord's order is to let us fight with Wen Hou, we can't give up halfway, right?" Even if you want to adjust, you have to wait for Puyang to have news. The military advisor and his wife are both in Puyang, and after they are believed, a new charter will definitely be made, and it is only right that you and I should take this as the standard. ”

Li Shiyi could think that Wei Yan and Gao Shun, Cao and others were quite like-minded, so they couldn't bear to abandon them. However, what Wei Yan said also makes sense, if the shogunate in Puyang responds quickly enough, the latest instructions will arrive tomorrow, even if they have to leave, it will not be a moment.

So, he nodded and reached an agreement with Wei Yan.

Lu Bu marched in the starry night, walked out of nearly 100 miles in one go, and only stopped until he reached the south bank of Yanjin, rested for a while, and prepared to cross the river. Puyang's messenger, arriving just before the army crossed the river, made contact with Wei Yan.

When Li Shiyi heard the news and rushed to arrive, Wei Yan was reading the letter, he walked quickly to Wei Yan's side, and asked softly, "How is it?" ”

Wei Yan handed over the letter casually, shaking his head, as if he was a little confused.

"The military advisor told us to continue to follow, there is no need to join the battle, and the main thing is vigilance, eleven, you say, what does this mean?" (To be continued.) )
