Zhang Lang sneered: "Play this trick with me!" Jia Xu said: "Therefore, our army does not have to move. Zhang Lang nodded.

……

Cao Pi led a large army to march slowly to Xuchang. Suddenly, a herald galloped over, ran to Cao Pi's side and restrained his horse, hugged his fists and said: "Lord Qi, the messenger who went to Xianbei has sent back a letter. Then he untied the big bamboo tube on his back, poured out a wooden tie sealed with cement, and presented it to Cao Pi. Cao Pi took the wooden tie, pinched off the sealing mud, opened it, looked at it again, and frowned. Turning his head to Sima Yi beside him, he said, "There has been an accident over there in Xianbei. ……”

Sima Yi asked lightly: "Is it possible that Kebi and Bu Dugen are suspicious of each other and even fight!" ”

Cao Pi showed surprise, "How did Mr. guess?" ”

Sima Yi smiled: "This has long been in my expectation. ”

Cao Pi asked puzzledly, "What does Mr. mean by this?" ”

Sima Yi squinted his eyes and looked ahead, and said, "Jia Xu and the others around Lu Bu are all as wise as the sea, how can they not guess our attempt to use the Xianbei people?" ……”

Cao Pi frowned, "In that case, why did Mr. ask me to do this before?" ”

Sima Yi said: "Because we need these things to cover up our real killer features!" Looking at Cao Pi, "It's not just Xianbei people, but also Sun Jian, Lu Bu has obviously expected it a long time ago." Huang Zhong and Ma Chao's two cavalry corps had already won a big victory, but why didn't they launch a fierce attack on Yuzhou? Obviously, Lu Bu regarded these two legions as strategic reserves, firstly, to deal with Xuchang's side, and secondly, the most important intention, to guard against Sun Jian in the south! Hmph, those little tricks that Sun Jian played couldn't hide from those strategists under Lu Bu at all! ”

Cao Pi frowned and thought: "So, Mr. is using these things to cover up the actions of our navy?" ”

Sima Yi nodded.

Cao Pi frowned and said, "Mr. also said just now that Lu Bu's subordinates are unique and resourceful, can't they see Mr.'s killer skills?" ”

Sima Yi said: "Our navy has been training at sea for a long time, and has never participated in any major wars, not even the previous war against the Xianbei people, so Lu Bu may not be aware of it. But it's not necessarily, they may think that in this matter, we are gambling! In any war, no matter how resourceful a man is, he cannot anticipate everything, unless he is not a man! So we have a chance. Just in case, I appointed Zhang Jaw as the general. Zhang He is cautious, as long as the cash back is wrong, he will withdraw immediately! ”

Cao Pi nodded, glanced at Sima Yi, and said with some emotion: "Only at this moment did I fully understand Mr.'s plan!" ”

Sima Yi hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "The subordinates did not show their eyes to the lord, and asked the lord to forgive him." ”

Cao Pi laughed and patted Sima Yi on the shoulder, "Why did Mr. say this?" I'm lucky that you've thought it so through! Sima Yi didn't speak.

Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi and narrowed his eyes. "You are preparing for the worst-case scenario by setting up a general mobilization in various places without letting them go to the front?" Sima Yi hurriedly said: "The lord is wise, that's exactly the case!" ”

Cao Pi nodded and didn't say anything more.

……

Zhang Lang inspected the barracks, cheered up the soldiers, and after some nonsense, he came to the hall of the Xuchang Governance Office. Seeing that Jia Xu was looking at something, he was curious, walked to Jia Xu's side, and looked at the thing in his hand. It was a report that had just been sent, a routine report sent by the Tiger Prison guard to Hao Meng, and there was not much delay on it, just that the river was normal.

Zhang Lang asked puzzledly: "Why do you let the Tiger Prison Pass pay attention to the river?" ”

Jia Xu found out that the lord had come to his side, and he was taken aback, and he hurriedly got up to salute. Zhang Lang held him down, sat down cross-legged, and pointed to the official document in his hand, "What's going on?" ”

Jia Xu replied: "The subordinates were worried that the Cao army would raid Luoyang with a naval army, so they ordered the defenders of Hujiao Pass to pay close attention to every move on the river early in the morning. ”

Zhang Lang said: "This is unlikely, right? ”

Jia Xu said: "It's better to be careful." ”

Zhang Lang smiled and nodded, "With you, I don't have to worry about anything!" Jia Xu humbly said: "The lord praises it!" The subordinates just try not to make mistakes as much as possible. ”

Dong Ying rushed in, saw Zhang Lang, and said angrily: "I was looking for you everywhere, but I didn't expect you to come here, Mr. Dao!" Zhang Lang teased: "Miss me? Dong Ying's face turned red and glared at Zhang Lang fiercely. Jia Xu pretended not to hear, stood up, and bowed with a serious expression: "My subordinates have seen the second lady." ”

Dong Ying said: "Sir, you don't have to be polite. "Mrs. Xie." Jia Xu sat back and continued to read his official documents.

Zhang Lang stood up, walked up to Dong Ying, held her hands, and asked with a smile: "You look so anxious, can't it really be because you miss me?" Dong Ying snorted, "I'm here to tell you that Hua Tuo has led all the medical officers under him." Zhang Lang was overjoyed and hurriedly walked outside, followed by Dong Ying. Outside, they met all the tiger guards, and a large group of people rushed towards the prime minister's mansion.

When they arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, they heard that Hua Tuo and the others had gone to the barbarian barracks, so the group immediately turned to the barbarian barracks.

……

A few days later, Cao Pi's army arrived near Xuchang and set up camp. Zhang Lang immediately led the military road to challenge in front of the opponent's camp, but the opponent just didn't come out. This has been the case for two consecutive days, and Zhang Lang is too lazy to go out to challenge.

On this morning, Zhang Lang, Jia Xu and others stood on the city gate tower and looked at the Cao military camp that stretched for more than ten miles in the distance. Zhang Lang was a little annoyed: "These guys seem to be waiting for Xianbei and Sun Jian to attack first!" Hmph, it's a pity that their calculation has failed! Jia Xu looked thoughtful and asked Zhang Lang: "Can the lord send all the scouts?" Zhang Lang nodded, "Of course!" According to Mr.'s advice, I photographed all the scouts, and as long as there was a little wind and grass on the part of Cao Jun, we would know immediately. Jia Xu nodded.

Dong Ying asked, "If Cao Jun sees that there is no opportunity to start retreating, what should we do?" Do you also watch it? ”

Jia Xu smiled: "If that's the case, then let them go." Dong Ying snorted, and said angrily: "Sir, this is not like your 'poisoner' style!" Jia Xu laughed and said, "The second lady made fun of it!" ”

Zhang Lang saw that Cao Jun did not move, so he left and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Dong Ying stepped forward to take off his armor robe for Zhang Lang, Wang Yi suddenly rushed in and reported: "General, the princess asks to see!" ”
