Luoyang, North Palace.

"How can it be!"

When Li Wei read the letter sent by Luo Zheng's reprimand, he was immediately furious, and tore the book cover to smash it casually, before he scolded angrily: "Luo Zheng, this husband is really too deceitful, and he even threatens this general, hum!" ”

Brother Li Heng hurriedly said: "Brother, I don't know what Luo Zheng said?" ”

Li Wei said in a dark voice: "That guy captured more than 200,000 people from Yanzhou, and wanted to transport them back to Guanzhong by water, so he wrote a letter to threaten General Ben, saying that if General Ben dared to attack the Xiliang Water Army, that guy would send a letter to Guguan, and even jointly sent troops with Cao Cao to seize the general's subordinates. How can this be true, it is simply unreasonable! ”

"This ......"

Li Heng said in a loud voice: "This guy really dares to do it, more than 200,000 people, he also dares to rob, he is not afraid of being held to death!" ”

Li Wei snorted coldly: "Luo Zheng was originally a robber, what dare you not do." ”

Li Heng asked, "Brother then, should we send troops to attack the Xiliang Water Army and give him some color?" ”

Li Dao was a little irritable, got up and paced in the hall for a while, and then said depressedly: "Our army plundered Chen Liu and Yingchuan, and has torn Cao Cao's face. Cao Apu is not a good bird, and most of them can't swallow this breath. If Luo Zheng really sent troops from Hangu Pass, our army would suffer from the enemy on its back, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to resist. ”

Li Heng said awe-inspiringly: "Then forget it, anyway, we won't get any benefit from attacking the Ganning Navy." ”

Li Dao said unwillingly: "If you have to deal with Cao Agui, how can this general be afraid of Luo Zheng's house, so that he can't even transport a single person to Guanzhong." But this matter is not so easy, you go and send someone to sue Sù Luo Zheng, and let General Ben let his navy army go, but General Ben is now short of food, so let him lend General Ben 50,000 stone of military rations, this matter is easy to say. ”

Li Heng hesitated: "Lord, how can Luo Zheng's guy be coerced by us?" ”

Li Wei said irritably: "Send someone to try it first, the autumn grain has not yet fallen to the ground, and there is almost grain and grass in the army. ”

"Okay!"

Li Heng had no choice but to agree, and he had to go down to make arrangements.

Li Dao asked again: "What has Cao Apu been doing recently?" ”

Li Heng replied: "Cao Cao has led the army back to Xuchang, but Luo Zheng plundered in Yanzhou, I heard that Cao Cao has personally led 20,000 troops north to Guandu to pursue Luo Zheng, and ordered Xiahoudun to lead 15,000 troops out of Yang Zhai to repel our army. ”

"Cao Cao went to Guandu?"

Li Wei was puzzled: "The Xiliang Water Army has hundreds of warships, Luo Zheng has captured all the people of Baima, Puyang, Lihu and other counties to Hebei, what is Cao Cao doing when he goes to Guandu, Hebei is Yuan Shao's territory, is he going to cross the river to pursue?" Moreover, although the Xiliang Water Army is vulnerable, it is no problem to block the river, and whether Cao Cao's army can cross the river is a problem. ”

Li Heng shook his head and said, "I don't know about this." ”

Li Wei thought for a long time before he said, "How much grain did Li Ying raise?" ”

Li Heng perked up and replied: "There are 80,000 stones of grain and no less than 10 million stones of money and silver, all of which have been transported to the Tiger Prison Pass. ”

Li Wei also returned his spirits, nodded again and again, and said, "The harvest is very good, if it weren't for the emptiness of Xuchang's troops, Cao Ren and his 8,000 army were wiped out by Luo Zheng again, it would be impossible for our army to get so much grain and grass." ”

Li Heng also nodded again and again: "Yes, Luo Zheng's fight wiped out Cao Ren and his 8,000 army, but it really did us a great favor, otherwise how could our army raise so much money and food." Hehe, Luo Zheng will actually do good deeds! ”

Li Wei thought for a while and said: "Let Li Ying come back, don't loot anymore, Cao Cao is scheming, Yuan Shu has been yin by him a few times, and now even Yuzhou has been lost, it is better to be careful, lest the boat capsize in the gutter." ”

Li Heng agreed, and seeing that Li Dao had no other instructions, he got up and retreated.

Guandu.

Luo Zheng has been anxious recently, and he really has a feeling that he doesn't know how difficult it is to be a father without having children.

The forcible capture of more than 200,000 people to Hebei is simply a time bomb, not to mention eating, drinking, and Lazar, these people have grievances, and if one is not good, they will make trouble, and 5,000 cavalry are busy fighting fires every day.

It wasn't until he was angry and killed a group of guys with ulterior motives that he shocked these people.

Jia Xu, the old fox, had the most sensitive sense of smell, and immediately sensed that something was wrong, and said to Luo Zheng: "Lord, it will take several months to transport these people to Guanzhong at the earliest, and such a long time is enough for some people with ulterior motives to take the opportunity to do something." Moreover, it is suspected that those who provoke trouble may be Cao Jun's meticulous work, and it may even be someone sent by Yuan Shao to make trouble. Our army caused trouble for Cao Cao, although Yuan Shao was the beneficiary, but it did not exclude the possibility that Yuan Shao's house would create some trouble for our army, so that our army would consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and it would also be beneficial to Yuan Shao in the long run. ”

Luo Zheng said awe-inspiringly: "Wenhe is extremely true, there is really this possibility." ”

Jia Xu said: "Not to mention this matter, Guo Tu Na is quite cooperative in other aspects, up to now, our army has collected more than 500 large and small fishing boats from both sides of the river, and General Gan Ning is seizing the time to transform these fishing boats." ”

Luo Zheng said: "When will the first people set off? ”

Jia Xu said: "The first batch of people to be transported away are all old and young women and children, and they can set off yesterday." ”

"Let Gan Ning hurry up!"

Luo Zheng frowned, very dissatisfied with the efficiency.

At this moment, a small school not far away rushed over.

"Lord, there is news in Luoyang."

The little colonel said half a sentence, his mouth moved for a long time, and the rest of the sentence was not spoken.

Luo Zheng said in a deep voice: "Say, why are you spitting? ”

The little colonel hurriedly said: "Li Dao sent someone to blackmail the lord, saying that he has been short of grain and grass in the army recently, as long as the lord lends him 50,000 stone of military rations, let the navy cross the river under his rule, otherwise he will send troops to attack and disturb the navy." ”

"Dare to blackmail General Ben?"

Luo Zheng smiled cruelly: "Anyone can blackmail General Ben, but Li Dao is not qualified to sit on the ground and raise the price with General Ben." Go, send the messenger sent by Li Dao to General Ben, and then send someone to tell Li Dao, and General Ben will not give him a grain of grain. ”

"Yes!"

Xiao Xiao hurriedly took the order and ran away.

Jia Xu didn't know what the considerations were, so he didn't dissuade Luo Zheng's obviously personal grudge approach, until the junior colonel was far away, and then said: "Li Wei's guy is too underestimated by the lord, if he doesn't send someone to take the opportunity to blackmail, the lord is afraid that he will have a headache." However, this guy dared to send someone to threaten him, obviously because he was a thief, and he was really afraid that our army would send a letter to Gu Dong. Hehe, the lord is eloquent, how can this kind of little trick be hidden from the lord, Li Dao is too naïve. ”

Luo Zheng couldn't help but glance at Jia Xu, he couldn't hide anything from this old fox.

However, this sycophant is really comfortable to listen to.

Cheng Ying also often makes a little bit of a fart, but the water army is much worse than Jia Xu, the old fox.

At this moment, the scout colonel rushed over from afar.

"Lord, military advisor!"

The scout colonel ran to the front and saluted the two of them before saying, "Our scouts have discovered Cao Cao's army. ”

"Cao Cao's army?"

Luo Zheng was stunned and said in a deep voice: "Where is Cao Cao's army?" ”

The scout replied: "Cao Cao personally led an army of 20,000 to Kaifeng and came to Guandu. ”

"What?"

Luo Zheng was taken aback, and then said in a deep voice: "Cao A's relatives led the army to Guandu? ”

The scout colonel hurriedly said: "Exactly! ”

Luo Zheng and Jia Xu glanced at each other, waved their hands, and the scout colonel hurriedly retreated.

"Lord, the plan has changed!"

Jia Xu said in a condensed voice: "Since Cao Cao personally led the army to Guandu, it is time for our army to withdraw to Hebei." Anyway, almost all the surnames on the south bank have been captured in Hebei, and there is no need to stay in Guandu. ”

Luo Zheng frowned and was silent, and only said after a while: "Didn't Wen He think Cao Cao came a little suddenly?" ”

Jia Xu's expression froze, and he said, "The lord is saying that Cao Cao personally led the army north to Guandu on vacation?" ”

Luo Zheng glanced at the busy crowd on the dock, retracted his gaze and said: "Almost all the people nearby have been captured by us to the north bank, what is Cao Cao doing at this time, killing into Hebei and snatching the people back?" ”

Jia Xu nodded and said: "That's right, as long as Cao Cao's army crosses the river, no matter what the reason, it will be to provoke Yuan Shao." Moreover, there is a naval army blocking the river, and Cao Cao's army may not be able to cross the river. If Cao Cao wanted to break the lord's 5,000 cavalry, this was even more impossible. As long as our army retreats to Hebei, Cao Cao will definitely not cross the river to pursue, unless he wants to start a war with Yuan Shao. ”

Luo Zheng said: "So, Cao Cao led the army to the north is a bit strange. ”

Jia Xu stroked his willow beard and thought for a long time, and said: "Li Wei took advantage of the fire to rob this time, and the arson plundered the area of Chenliu and Yingchuan. Yingchuan and Chen Liu are no better than the north, which is the hinterland under Cao Cao's rule, and this overturn was sacked by Li Daoxi's Liang rebellion, and the blow to Cao Cao is bound to be not small. If the lord is changed, the first thing to do at this time is to drive Li Dao's Xiliang Rebellion out of Yingchuan, and then give Li Dao a lesson that will never be forgotten, and then appease the people, instead of leading the army north. ”

Luo Zheng thought it was true and said: "The text and analysis are correct, in this way, Cao Apu led the army north to actually be a sparkling, in fact, he was fighting tigers and assassinating wild boars, and he wanted to take the opportunity to clean up Li Dao?" ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Eight or nine is not far from ten, and ...... Not good! ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something, and his face suddenly changed greatly, and he exclaimed.

Luo Zheng's eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice: "What did Wen He think of?" ”

Jia Xu's face became extremely solemn, and he said: "Xu suddenly thought of a possibility, if Cao Cao captures the Tiger Prison Pass, what should he do?" ”

"Tiger Prison?"

Luo Zheng's face changed, and he shouted, "Bring the map!" ”

"Yes!"

Xu Chu agreed, and immediately ordered his soldiers to bring a military topographic map and spread it on the ground.

Luo Zheng went to the Tiger Prison Pass, and still had a vague impression of the geographical appearance of the Tiger Prison Pass, staring at the terrain around the Tiger Prison Pass for a long time, his face gradually changed, and he became extremely dignified. R1152
