Yanzhou, official road, post station.

Tai Shi Ci led more than a dozen horsemen to stop here, because of the day and night of wild running, the group was extremely tired, after handing over the horses to the pavilion post for feeding, they asked the pavilion post to prepare some food and water.

Seeing that their costumes were in the style of the officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty, which were very different from the costumes of Cao Jun, the pavilion was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to say more, for fear of angering them and ending up in personal security, but whatever Tai Shici requested, he did it one by one.

Cooked beef and a few jars of turbid wine were served, Tai Shi Ci and the others devoured it, and after a full meal of wine and food, Tai Shi Ci divided a few people with good physical strength and let them lurk around, scouting nearby movements.

Tai Shi Ci called Yi Cheng again and asked a few words, if it is really like what Kong Rong said, Lu Bu united with Chen Liu, Beihai and other places to send troops to Yanzhou, then Lu Bu should be in Yanzhou now, such a big thing, as a post station for circulating news, must know a little bit.

"Let me ask you, is Yanzhou okay recently?" Tai Shi Ci asked with his eyes staring at Yi Cheng.

Yi Cheng didn't understand what Tai Shici meant, but he still answered honestly, "Recently, there has been a lot of chaos in Yanzhou, and there are yellow turban thieves who are haunting and looting everywhere. ”

"Yellow Turban Thief?" Tai Shici snorted and said, "Isn't there any war in Yanzhou recently?" Well, Lu Bu, Lu Bu, do you know the way, have you heard that he sent troops to Yanzhou? ”

When Yi Cheng heard this, he trembled and said, "I didn't hear the news that Wen Hou sent troops from Guanzhong, but not long ago, Chen Liuzhang Miao was defeated by General Xiahou Yuan. ”

"Chen Liu was broken?" Tai Shici was taken aback, and Lu Bu's letter to Kong Rong said that he would unite counties and counties to crusade against Cao Cao. Then Chen Liu must be one of them. But now Zhang Miao has been broken. Will Lu Bu stop sending troops because of this?

Yi Cheng glanced at Tai Shi Ci weakly, and said: "General, forgive the little old man for talking too much, I heard that Wen Hou is leading a large army to attack Xiliang, how could he send troops to Yanzhou?" ”

Tai Shici nodded, let him retreat, and thought in his heart: Lu Bu is not like a person who has no purpose, Cao Cao annexed Xuzhou. Becoming bigger in the Central Plains has formed a threat to him, and he will definitely not sit idly by, since he has said it, he will send a number of soldiers and horses out of the customs to pose a certain threat to Cao Cao.

Chen Liu was defeated, Lu Bu must have been frustrated, and now it is very likely to be entrenched in the Luoyang area, waiting for the opportunity, where is Luoyang barren now. These people don't know Lu Bu, and it's understandable.

If Lu Bu is really lurking in Luoyang. Where is it so far from here, if I run to it, there will not be enough time for this day and night! Really waited for me to invite Lu Bu, Beihai must have been broken by Guan Hai.

Tai Shi Ci looked up to the sky and sighed a few times, unable to complete the task, he felt very ashamed of the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Beihai.

Just thinking about it, a team of Cao soldiers rushed into the post station in a hurry, Tai Shici and the others were shocked, thinking that Yicheng had reported them, and the two soldiers hurriedly put Yicheng's wife and son into a side room.

Tai Shi Ci looked at Yi Cheng coldly, and Yi Cheng hurriedly patted his chest and said, "They are patrol soldiers who are responsible for patrolling all over the county, and I did not betray the generals." ”

"Hmm!" Tai Shi Ci snorted coldly, stopped talking, leaned against the table and pretended to sleep.

"Hey, Yicheng has had a lot of guests lately?" The patrolman walked in and sat down, as did a dozen or so soldiers.

"Wine, meat! We ran all night last night and we're exhausted! The patrol chief picked up a puff fan and fanned it.

He rolled his eyes, looked at Tai Shici and the others, and said, "These brothers, are they from that military camp?" How different from us! ”

A soldier next to Tai Shici said: "We are from Dongping County, and we have official business to go to Puyang to deal with." ”

"Official business?" The patrol commander nodded, since they said that there was something important, then they definitely couldn't ask.

"Your costumes?" The Patrol Commander laughed.

"Oh, we don't have enough armor there, so we're still wearing the same ones as before." The man snorted and said.

The patrol commander smiled, the armor was very insufficient in that place, and it was possible that Cao Bing did not have uniform clothing.

The wine and meat were brought up, and the patrol commander lost interest in Tai Shici and the others, and the group began to gobble up, or drink and punch, so it was not lively.

"lucky. The gang of thieves didn't go to Xu County, but went to Puyang City, and it seemed that Puyang was completely burned to death. ”

A few Cao soldiers began to chat.

"That's it, Xun Junshi laid a net in Xu County, but he was busy in vain."

"What kind of thief, it was Lu Bu who led his troops to raid."

"How is that possible? Isn't Lu Bu in Guanzhong, how did he run here? ”

"I don't know, anyway, I heard what the brother over there said, Lu Bu stirred up trouble in Puyang City, and then led the army to retreat!"

"Tsk, if this is true, this Lu Bu is really terrifying, he actually ran here!"

Tai Shici was shocked when he heard Cao Bing's chatter, and he had a plan in his heart.

After a full meal, Cao Bing left satisfied.

Yi Cheng waited for Cao Bing to leave, and hurriedly begged Tai Shi Ci not to attack his family, Tai Shi Ci was a chivalrous person, so naturally he would not do anything to Yi Cheng's family, but a bit of intimidation was still indispensable.

Yi Cheng nodded again and again, patting his chest to promise not to reveal their traces.

Tai Shici and the others brought some more food and water and left quickly.

"General, what do we do now?" A cavalryman asked Tai Shi Cidao.

Tai Shi Ci said: "It is really possible that Lu Bu came to Yanzhou and attacked Puyang City, everyone immediately dispersed to investigate, and once they found news about Lu Bu, they immediately reported it!" ”

"No!" The group quickly dispersed and ran in all directions to reconnoiter the traces of Lu Bujun

Puyang City.

After a night of meticulous masterpieces, Lu Bujun made Puyang City unrecognizable, and the Taishou Mansion and the treasury of money, grain and equipment, as well as the mansions of those rich merchants and big merchants were reduced to ashes.

The rich businessmen were angry and cursed in their hearts, damn Lu Bu. %￥￥……&&…… ¥¥ You attack Puyang. It's about our birds. It burned down our industry.

There are also some people who are dissatisfied with Xun Yu and others, thinking that they are not well defended, and even encourage the gentlemen and the common people to denounce Xun Yu, in short, there is chaos in Puyang City.

Xun Yu had no choice but to send troops to maintain law and order in the city to prevent anyone from rioting under the pretext of rioting.

Yu Ban and Le Jin led the army back in despair. Several people sat together and discussed how to deal with these matters and how to report to Cao Cao.

In fact, their every move, or the wind and grass in Yanzhou, has already been reported to Cao Cao, but they don't know what to do.

"Master Xun, how should we tell the lord, Puyang was attacked, and we can't escape the blame!" Yu Ban sighed.

Xun Yu said: "It's so far. How else can I say it, tell the truth! ”

Le Jin smiled bitterly: "It's not that we are afraid of the lord's punishment. It's just that what should Lu Bu do? He suddenly appeared here, what the hell did he want to do? Want to unite the four realms and attack us? Zhang Miao was broken, Kong Rong was besieged, and no one could help him! ”

Xun Yu said: "Lu Bu uses soldiers, pays attention to the use of strange, surprises, and is unprepared, he is out of the customs this time, the plan is not small, the lord annexes Xuzhou, the strength is bigger, and the impact on him is great, so he will definitely try to destroy Yanzhou, so that the rear of the lord is on fire, and the end cannot be taken into account." ”

Le Jin said: "According to the scout's reconnaissance, he ran to Beihai, can Kong Rong still help him?" ”

Xun Yu said: "Don't consider these things for the time being, let's send a book to the lord and see what the lord says!" ”

Xuzhou.

Ji Ling's 100,000 army stopped advancing at Guangling and confronted Cao's 50,000 army.

Cao Cao repaired a book, sent someone to Shouchun, handed over Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu read Cao Cao's letter, overjoyed, in the letter, Cao Cao admired Yuan Shu very much, called it the true son of heaven, the destiny of heaven, the people's desire, if he is called the emperor, Cao Cao expressed the first support.

Yuan Shu's mind couldn't turn around, and he couldn't see Cao Cao's true intentions, just a strong music, and said that if he was called emperor, he would definitely give Cao Cao the king.

At this time, Sun Ce and his entourage arrived in Shouchun and presented the jade seal of the country, Yuan Shu jumped up happily all of a sudden, with the jade seal of the country, there were still people who supported him and called the emperor imminent.

So, he ordered Ji Ling to end his friendship with Cao Cao and began to consider the matter of becoming emperor.

Cao Cao's army was thus given time to breathe.

Inside the tent.

Cao Cao frowned and looked at the urgent report from Yanzhou, and kept knocking on the board with one hand.

"Lu Bu, I'm really anxious! Zhang Miao was broken, Kong Rong was besieged again, what did he rely on to organize a coalition army to crusade against me? ”

"That idiot Yuan Shu is now ready to be called emperor, I see what you Lu Bu should do, someone openly provokes your court, do you send troops or not?"

"Zang Ba, Liu Pi, Gong Du, these little thieves, it's time to clean up!"

Cao Cao muttered to himself, unable to see the bottom with a deep look in his eyes.

"Lord!" Guo Jia walked into the tent with a drunken body.

"Bonghyo, you're drinking again!" Cao Cao said with a frown.

Guo Jia smiled, "Life is too short!" ”

"Ugh." Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia and said, "Lu Bu appeared in Yanzhou, what should I do?" ”

"Oh, this guy is so bold, he dares to come to Yanzhou, is he alone?" Guo Jia came to be interested.

"Yes, there are about two or three thousand soldiers and horses." Cao Cao laughed.

Guo Jia sat down with a big grin and said, "Since he is here, you can't let him run away, lord, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" ”

"Huh?" Cao Cao was thoughtful.

Guo Jiadao: "Lu Bu occupies Guanzhong, west to conquer Xiliang, south to Ping Hanzhong, Xichuan, north to Bingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, east to Luoyang, Yanzhou, this is our big trouble, and we only occupy Yanzhou and Xuzhou, these four war places, very dangerous, the future can compete with the lord in the world, it must be this Lu Bu!"

I heard that Yuan Shao hated Lu Bu to the bone, often had the heart of slaughtering Lu Bu, the black mountain thief Zhang Yan was just defeated by Yuan Shao not long ago, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao continued to fight, but there were many defeats and few victories, from this point of view, Yuan Shao must have spare strength, the lord can send people to unite with Yuan Shao, block Lu Bu's retreat, and trap Lu Bu to death in Beihai.
