Linzi, Yuan Tan's official residence.

"Lord!"

Xin Ping hurriedly entered the inner hall and bowed his hand to Yuan Tan.

"Come on, come on, Nakaji sit down and say!"

Yuan Tan hurriedly got up and asked Xin Ping to take a seat.

Xin Ping saw that Yuan Tan was very polite to him, and he was very useful, so he stepped sideways. After Yuan Tan sat down again, he hurriedly asked, "I don't know if the lord has anything important to arrange when he comes down?" ”

Yuan Tan said: "That's the case, a few days ago, Cao Cao sent people to ask for help, saying that Luo Zheng wanted to invade Xuzhou on a large scale, and invited me to jointly send troops to retreat from Luo Zheng. ”

"Oh?"

Xin commented: "I don't know if this is true or false? ”

Yuan Tan said: "The scout has sent back the news that Luo Zheng has indeed sent troops to Xuzhou. ”

"This ......"

Xin Ping stroked his willow whiskers and groaned: "Luo Zheng is as fierce as a wolf, and now he occupies the two states of Yanyu, if the first lord is strong, he is not afraid of Luo Zheng's murderer, but now the lord only has a county in Qingzhou, and the soldiers are only 20,000. ”

Yuan Tan said: "But I heard that Yuan Shang sent a judge to Guanzhong to marry Luo Zheng. ”

Xin commented: "I also heard about this matter below, but Luo Zheng did not agree to marry his daughter Yuan Shang. ”

Yuan Tan pondered for a long time and said, "Luo Zheng is a tiger and a wolf,?" If Cao Cao is defeated, it is estimated that it will not be long before he will plot against Hebei, as the so-called cold lips will die. Besides, now that I and Cao Cao have become allies again, if I don't save them when I see death, I can't help it. I intend to fulfill the duty of an ally in the south of the army, what does Nakaji think? ”

"This ......"

Xin Ping said bitterly: "Lord, Luo Zheng can't be provoked!" ”

Yuan Tan's face was a little uncertain. I thought that Xin Ping would approve of sending troops to himself, but he didn't want to strongly oppose it. But Cao Cao had already promised him. After repelling Luo Zheng, he sent troops to help him attack Yuan Shang, and sent a daughter over. It can be seen that the sincerity of the alliance.

On the contrary, Luo Zheng, although he also sent people to form an alliance with him, he really did not have much sincerity.

More importantly, Luo Zheng's momentum is large, if Cao Cao is defeated, Luo Zheng's next target will inevitably be Hebei.

Because of this, Yuan Tan chose to form an alliance with Cao Cao regardless of his previous suspicions.

Although Yuan Tan doesn't have any skills, he still knows the truth of cold lips and teeth.

Although he was defeated by Cao Cao. But between countries, there is no eternal hatred, only interests.

Yuan Tan got up and paced back and forth in the hall for a while, hesitated for a long time before he made up his mind, and said: "I have made up my mind, I will raise troops to the south tomorrow, Zhongzhi does not need to be persuased, you can quickly collect information." ”

Xin couldn't persuade him. I had to sigh, got up and said yes and walked out of the inner hall.

Kaiyang, Luo Zheng big tent.

It was late at night, and the torches were burning.

More than 30 commanders and generals above the rank of captain were sitting in danger. One by one, they were ashamed.

Luo Zheng had an angry face on his face, and he paced back and forth under the tent irritably, and swept the generals under the tent with a sharp gaze. The generals who were swept by his gaze hurriedly looked away, not daring to look at him. I was even more nervous.

In recent years, with the increasing power, Luo Zheng's majesty has also increased day by day.

Once Luo Zheng got angry. There is not a single lieutenant general or colonel who is not frightened.

Luo Zheng paced for a while before he paused, pointed to a group of generals and scolded: "Tens of thousands of troops can't capture a Kaiyang City with only 8,000 soldiers and horses, tell me yourself, what else does King Gu want you to do, a group of foodies!" ”

All the generals were ashamed, their faces were black and red, and they wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, but they didn't dare to say anything, and they drooped their heads one by one, and they were all about to stuff their heads into their crotches.

Jia Xu and Cheng Ying sat at the bottom of the main seat, and the two old foxes had half-closed eyes, as if they were about to fall asleep.

"Get out!"

Luo Zheng casually smashed the wine bottle on Yang Qiu's head, "Get out of the lonely king." ”

The generals didn't dare to talk nonsense, so they quickly got up and out of the king's tent.

Luo Zheng was a little angry at this time, looked at Jia Xu who closed his eyes and recuperated, and said in a deep voice: "Wenhe, where is the Ganning Navy?" ”

Jia Xu replied: "General Gan Ning's 25,000 naval troops have arrived near Gaotang and can be ordered to go north at any time. ”

Luo Zheng walked to the screen and stared at the military topographic map for a long time before he nodded and asked, "Will Yuan Tan send troops?" ”

Jia Xu stroked his beard and groaned for a long time, then shook his head and said, "This is really hard to say!" ”

Luo Zheng pondered for a long time, and then said: "That's it, let's break through Kaiyang first!" ”

At this moment, a junior colonel suddenly rushed in and said in a loud voice: "Lord, Yuan Tan has sent troops." ”

"Oh, is that true?"

Luo Zheng's eyes suddenly froze, and Jia Xu and Cheng Ying also turned their heads to look over.

The junior colonel said excitedly: "It's true, Yuan Tan has led an army of 20,000 to Anqiu, and it will be possible to reach Kaiyang in ten days at most!" ”

"Oh, yes, that's good!"

Luo Zheng nodded again and again, and then said with a cruel smile: "Yuan Tan, this idiot, really dares to come to the flood, he really doesn't know whether he is alive or dead!" ”

Jia Xu said: "My lord, Yuan Tan has few soldiers, this time the army of 20,000 is going south, Linzi will inevitably have an empty army, such a good opportunity must not be missed, it is time for General Gan Ning's army to go north." ”

"Hmm!"

Luo Zheng said: "Command Gan Ning, rate the naval army to the north, and attack Qingzhou from Gaotang." ”

"Yes."

The officer on duty hurriedly answered the order and quickly ran out.

Luo Zheng looked at Jia Xu again and said, "Wenhe, I'll leave it to you here." ”

Jia Xu said: "Obey the order!" ”

Luo Zheng said: "Cao Apu is trapped in Xuzhou, and he is weak to return to the sky, this time he sent troops, according to Wenhe's opinion, besieged the city and destroyed the aids, first broke the reinforcements invited by Cao Apu, and finally concentrated his forces to clean up Cao Apu, Wen He must not let go of Xiahoudun." ”

Jia Xu arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, the lord will take care of it!" ”

Luo Zheng nodded, waved his hand, and shouted, "Quickly summon Yan Xing to come." ”

"Yes."

Some of the soldiers hurriedly received the order and quickly rushed out of the tent.

After a while, Yan Xing hurriedly came, strode into the tent, and arched his hand: "See the lord!" ”

Luo Zheng said: "Quickly gather all the cavalry and follow the lonely king north to meet the enemy." ”

Yan Xing's face was surprised, but he didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly arched his hand and said loudly: "The last general is ordered!" ”

Shouchun, Wu army camp.

Lu Su hurriedly entered the big tent of the Chinese army and waved his hand to Sun Ce, "I've seen the lord." ”

Sun Ce waved his hand and said, "Zi respects and exempts!" ”

Lu Su said: "I don't know if the lord is summoned to come down, what important things do you command?" ”

Sun Ce rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Zijing sit down and talk about it!" ”

Lu Su arched his hand again before turning around and taking his seat.

Sun Ce thought about it and said: "This time Luo Zheng went to the Central Plains, he will inevitably defeat Cao Cao and go to Xuzhou in one fell swoop. As the saying goes, if the lips are cold, the teeth will die, and the lonely king can't sit back and watch Cao Cao fall, otherwise, if Luo Zheng is allowed to completely pacify the Central Plains, how can the three brothers of the Yuan family be Luo Zheng's opponents, and within a few years, the north will inevitably be owned by Luo Zheng, and the lonely king can only be in a corner of Jiangdong.
