Just after the end of the year, the weather began to warm up.

The inner courtyard of the Qianwang Mansion was full of laughter and laughter, and the music was also harmonious.

Luo Zheng has been in a good mood these days, and he actually accompanied a few daughters to build a snowman in the yard for the first time, but he even forgot about his own mother when he was so happy that his daughters were happy, and as for the servants and maids of the palace and the iron guards, they lost their eyes.

Gan Qian and her wives and concubines were also interested in helping on the side, enjoying this life very much.

Houmen is as deep as the sea, and the women in the palace usually live a very boring life, and there is not much entertainment at all.

In the eyes of many wives and concubines and children, Luo Zheng, the husband or father, spends most of the year fighting abroad, and even if he returns to the palace, there are few things to consider and arrange, and there is no time to accompany his wife and concubines and children.

When I take a break occasionally, it's more severe than communicative.

Luo Zheng was suddenly in the mood to build a snowman in the inner courtyard with his wife, concubines and daughters, but everyone was overjoyed.

The guards and servants stood from afar, and were ordered not to come forward to disturb them.

A few little girls were wearing thick coats, and their little faces were red from the cold, but they were still having fun.

In the study, Luo Cheng was absentmindedly copying books, while sighing from time to time.

The whole palace was lively, and he was the only one who was punished for copying books in the study.

"Stinky Daddy!"

Luo Cheng muttered quietly, a little doubtful that he had picked it up.

Otherwise, why does my dad smile when he sees a few younger sisters, and as long as he sees himself, he picks his nose and eyes, and he doesn't like it when he looks at himself, and it makes people angry when he thinks about it.

When it was almost noon, a servant and maid came forward to report, "Lord Wang, madam, lunch is ready." ”

Luo Zheng waved his hand, but the maid didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly retreated.

was having fun, and not far away, Jia Xu came over again.

Seeing Luo Zheng building a snowman with his wife and concubine and daughter, his face was a little stunned.

touched his beard and pondered, then pulled Xu Chu to sit in a pavilion and talked, but did not come.

Luo Zheng saw Jia Xu early, but he finally accompanied his wife and daughter to mess around, and it was rare to relax, so he ignored it, until he built the last snowman, and then hugged Luo Ying, the youngest girl riding on his neck, and handed it to Xiao Qiao next to him.

"Okay, Daddy has something to do, you guys play."

Luo Zheng wiped the snow off his hands, kissed his daughter's face, and walked towards the pavilion.

Jia Xu has been paying attention to this side, and when he saw Luo Zheng coming, he hurriedly stood up with Xu Chu.

"Lord!"

The two bowed their hands.

Luo Zheng waved his hand, and while walking to the front yard, he asked, "Wen He is here to go out for an accident, right?" ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "The first batch of grain and grass has been transported, and it is time for the lord to leave." ”

Luo Zheng sighed deeply, then cheered up and said, "Gather everyone to come to the palace to discuss matters." ”

Jia Xu hurriedly said: "The lord has not eaten yet......"

Luo Zheng interrupted and ordered, "Bring the food to the council room!" ”

"Yes!"

Xu Chu hurriedly responded and ordered his soldiers to fetch food.

Xiang County, Gaoshun Daying.

A small colonel hurriedly entered the big tent of the Chinese army and bowed his hand to Gao Shun: "General, Mr. Fazheng asks to see you." ”

"Fazheng?"

Gao Shun was stunned, what did Fa Zheng do when he came to Xiangxian County?

After a while, he waved his hand and said, "Let him in." ”

The little colonel hurriedly agreed and immediately left the account.

Not long after, Fa Zheng, who was wearing a felt hat on his head, followed the little colonel into the big tent.

"I've seen General Gao Shun!"

Fa Zheng casually took off the felt hat on his head and arched his hand to Gao Shun.

Gao Shun said with a solemn hand: "Lord Fazheng, don't be polite, please sit down and talk!" ”

Fa Zheng waved his hand again before sitting down next to him.

Gao Shun asked, "I don't know if Lord Fazheng has something important to do when he comes to Xiangxian?" ”

Fa Zheng replied: "Don't hide it from General Gao Shun, the lord has already led the army to the camp in Lu County. ”

Gao Shun's eyes froze, and he thought for a moment before he said, "I don't know if the lord has a military order to pass down?" ”

Fa Zheng took out the arrow order and presented it, and then dictated Luo Zheng's plan and military order, "As early as last winter, the lord had already decided to use troops against Xuzhou after the beginning of spring to defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop. This dispatch was intended to be unexpected, and the lord led 30,000 cavalry to march day and night, and at most five days could reach Lu County. At that time, the main guild will send a surprise army from Fei to attack Kaiyang, and General Gao Shun can send troops to attack Pengcheng at the same time as the lord, contain Cao Hui's main force, and make it difficult to take care of it! ”

Gao Shun said: "When will the troops be dispatched?" ”

Fa Zhengdao: "February 15. ”

"I see."

Gao Shun put away the arrow order and asked again, "Does Lord Fazheng go to the lord's camp, or stay in a certain camp?" ”

Fa Zhengdao: "If you are in the next place, you will stay in the general camp to staff the military." ”

Gao Shun nodded, didn't ask more, and instructed the soldiers under the tent: "Prepare a military tent for Lord Fazheng!" ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers agreed and hurriedly ran out.

Pengcheng, Xuzhou, Cao Cao's official residence.

"Gongda, have there been any signs of Gaoshun's army being mobilized recently?"

Cao Cao put down the military report, turned his head and asked Xun Yu below.

Xun You muttered: "The Xiliang army in the three large camps of Lu County, Xiang County, and Lingbi has no signs of mobilization. ”

Cao Cao asked again, "What about Guanzhong, can there be troops and horses." ”

Xun You replied: "There is no mobilization of the art of war. ”

Cao Cao nodded, rubbing his eyebrows and thinking.

Xun You hesitated and said, "Although the Xiliang Army has no troops and horses to move, I always feel that something is wrong. After Yuan Shao died of illness, the three sons all raised troops to attack. Last year, the Xiliang Army only stationed troops to defend itself, and there has been no major military action, because Luo Zheng's expedition to the Western Regions has not returned. Now that Luo Zheng has returned, there is no reason not to take this opportunity to plot against Hebei. ”

Liu Ye also said: "I feel the same way below, Guanzhong is so calm, it's really a bit abnormal!" ”

Cao Cao said: "Gongda and Ziyang thought that Luo Zheng would send troops to Hebei? ”

Xun You and Liu Ye nodded, but they were not very sure, and they always felt that something was wrong.

Cheng Yu frowned and thought for a long time, then his face suddenly changed, and he said in a condensed voice: "It's not good, Luo Zheng is afraid that he intends to be in Xuzhou." ”

"Huh?"

Cao Cao's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "How can Zhongde say this?" ”

Xun You and Liu Ye also pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

Cheng Yu said: "My lord, please think about it, the main force of Luo Zheng's army has been stationed in the Central Plains, and if you send troops to Hebei, you can only cross the Yellow River from Hetao to attack and annex the state." However, there was no sign of the transfer of Gao Shun's army, which shows that Luo Zheng had no intention of sending troops to Hebei. ”

Cao Cao thought deeply and said: "What Zhong De said is extremely true, if Luo Zheng sends troops to Hebei, there is no need to hide it? ”

Xun You and Liu Ye's faces changed at the same time, and they immediately understood the key.

"If Luo Zheng intends to be in Xuzhou, he will definitely go to the Central Plains!"

Xun Yu said in a condensed voice: "Could it be that Luo Zheng has secretly come to the Central Plains? ”

Liu Ye groaned: "According to the news that Xizuo sent back from Chang'an, Luo Zheng has been in Chang'an recently, and has never left, and he will take his wife and daughter out of the city to play when he is free. ”R1152
