Xuzhou is a large state in the Central Plains, with a million household registrations, Liu Bei jumped among the princes of the Central Plains because he got Xuzhou, but Xuzhou is a plain on all sides, easy to attack and difficult to defend, Liu Bei got Xuzhou and did not be able to hold on to the special geographical environment of Xuzhou has a close relationship.

Pengcheng is the state seat of Xuzhou, after Xiang Yu destroyed Qin, he gave up the rich and dangerous Guanzhong area, and built the capital here, which was criticized by the people of the world, leaving the laughing stock of the monkey and the crown, the main reason is that Pengcheng has no dangerous terrain in this place, and it is really not suitable as a long-term city.

Cao Cao defeated Liu Bei, after occupying Xuzhou, ordered the general Zhang Liao to garrison, after the two Huai returned to Shun, Zhang Liao in order to strengthen the defense of Huainan, the army was stationed in Hefei, Huainan, after the Red Cliff War, Cao's army was weak, the Wu army marched north, and Cao's army carried out many large-scale tragic battles on the front line of the two Huai, Cao Cao was afraid, and ordered the general Cao Xiu to lead more than 10,000 troops into Xuzhou, thinking that Zhang Liao was the backup, and at the same time building a strategic defense depth, which can be described as far-reaching.

Wu army is not good at attacking the city, the battle of Xiaoyaojin, the Wu army was defeated by Zhang Liao, Sun Quan also almost lost his life, since then, the Wu army did not dare to invade the north for several years, Xuzhou's defensive layout has become a chicken rib, Cao Liu Xiangfan carried out, the Shu army repeatedly invaded the Central Plains, Cao Cao in order to block the Shangyong Han army, accepted the advice of the strategist, combined with the three roads of the Central Plains garrison, marched to Shangyong, the Xuzhou garrison without war for many years became the first army to be transferred eastward, which also caused the situation of Xuzhou empty. Originally, Zhang Liao was stationed in Hefei, and Xuzhou, which was far away from the front line, was no problem, but no one thought that the Shu army would ride deep into the Central Plains, and under the pursuit of the Cao army, it entered the territory of Xuzhou.

Avoiding Zhang Liao's pursuit, the Shu army wore the uniform of the Cao army, and entered Xuzhou unimpeded, and the young master Zhuge led thousands of cavalry as the vanguard, bypassing the cities and towns along the way, and went straight to Pengcheng.

"Childe, the secret guard is coming, there are more than 3,000 defenders in Pengcheng City, and the guard is Cao Xiu's deputy general, named Xiahou Yuan, who is in his thirties, and recently fell in love with the daughter of a gentry in the city. Xiao Bai rode on a horse and reported the information from the Xuzhou secret guard to Young Master Zhuge and made his own analysis.

When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he nodded with a smile and said, "Since it's a happy event, how can you not give a big gift?" ”

Xiaobai nodded and said with a smile: "My subordinates understand, I'll go in person!" After speaking, he raised his horsewhip and walked away.

At this time, in Pengcheng, the lanterns were colorful, Xiahou Yuan was Cao Xiu's henchman, he was in a high position in the Xuzhou garrison, he married, the generals in the army and the gentry in the city all came to congratulate, and the banquet set up more than 100 tables, so lively.

The deputy general's mansion is located in the west of the city, which was sent by the gentry of Pengcheng, and most of the family members of the generals of Cao Jun are in Xu Du or Cao Cao's fiefdom Wei County, and they cannot bring their families to be stationed in the local area, so there is naturally no need to buy land and land, but this cannot prevent the local gentry from sending money and houses to women in order to have a good relationship with the high-level of the garrison.

The mansion in the west of the city is now very annoying, dozens of soldiers are in the realm around the house, at the gate, a person who looks like a clerk sits upright, sketches at the desk, records the gifts given by the guests, boxes of gifts are carried into the courtyard, and several housekeeper-like guys stand at the door to greet the guests, and keep thanking the guests, and greeting the visitors.

In the courtyard, the deputy general was dressed in a bright brocade robe, sitting high in the hall, and his old friends who came to celebrate around him, bragging and talking nonsense in the middle of the army, and his eyebrows were dancing, so unhappy.

At this time, in a corner of the courtyard, a son dressed in brocade and white shook a feather fan, and talked cordially with several generals of the Cao Army beside him. While talking, the man in white glanced out of the door from time to time, and at this moment, several men in general clothes strode into the courtyard, led by a man with sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, and his might was abnormal.

When the man in white saw someone enter the courtyard, he smiled slightly, and asked the general next to him in a low voice: "This person is Zhang Han!" ”

When the general Cao Jun heard this, he nodded, and said: "Yes, this person is Zhang Han, Zhang Han is a general under Cao Xiu, good at riding and shooting, armed force, brave and brave, and Xiahou Yuan was regarded as an arm by Cao Xiu, and he is a rare tiger general in the Xuzhou army." ”

When the man in white heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "Hearing you say this, I would like to meet him for a while!" ”

When General Cao Jun heard the meaning of the white-clothed boy, it seemed that he wanted to test his martial arts with Zhang Han, and he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly persuaded in a low voice: "Director, the army of the prince is less than a hundred miles according to this, if the grass startles the snake, the consequences will be unimaginable!" "This general is called the director of the department is none other than Xiaobai, the deputy director of the secret guard who has just infiltrated Xuzhou. And talking to him, the secret guard is embedded in the middle and high-level spy report lurking in Cao Xiujun's army, codenamed "Chijiao".

Seeing that Chi Jiao was nervous, Xiao Bai smiled slightly and said, "Chi Jiao, why are you so nervous?" I'm just joking, am I the kind of person who is unreliable? ”

When Chi Jiao heard this, he smiled and said, "No...... That's weird! ”

Xiaobai nodded with satisfaction when he heard the first half of the sentence, but was vomited blood by Chi Jiao in the second half of the sentence, patted Chi Jiao's head, and said angrily: "You kid is getting bigger and smaller, even Lao Tzu dares to tease!" ”

Chi Jiao smiled, hurriedly smiled, and just wanted to say something, but saw Xiahou Yuan walking over with Zhang Han, and hurriedly greeted him. Xiahou Yuan smiled and pointed at Chijiao and said: "Li Huai, I said where did your kid go, Zhang Han also said that you must have slept in Yihong Mansion and didn't wake up again, I said no, if you don't dare to come to Lao Tzu's wedding banquet, see if I don't cut your little cock, hahaha!" "Li Huai is Chijiao's pseudonym, and Chijiao's real name is only known to Young Master Zhuge and other high-ranking officials of the secret guard.

Li Huai is a lieutenant in Cao Xiu's army, because of his good martial arts, righteousness, and bold personality, he is very temperamental to Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Han and others, and he usually has a good relationship, and often laughs together. Li Huai also hurriedly smiled and arched his hand: "Brother don't dare to do this, you have married seven or eight people, but my brother is still a bachelor, if this is cut, I am sorry for my ancestors!" ”

When Zhang Han heard this, he said with a smile: "That's right, cocks are very important!" But you are also a brother, and you are not too young, and you don't know how to marry a room, you see who in the army has not married a daughter-in-law like you and me? Don't be too ambitious! ”

When Li Huai heard this, he sighed and said: "Hey, I am different from the two elder brothers, the two elder brothers are from a big family, and they hold important positions in the army, so the matchmaker who says that she is close to her will naturally break through the threshold!" But look at my little brother again, I was born poor, my family doesn't have much wealth, I've been in the army for so long, and I'm just a small captain, where can anyone take a fancy to me? Saying that, he made a depressed look, and he didn't feel sad to see others.

When Xiahou Yuan heard this, he frowned, waved his big hand, and said loudly: "Don't be sad, brother, you and I are friends of life and death, since ancient times, how can there be a reason for an elder brother to marry a daughter-in-law and let his younger brother be single, don't worry, wait a few days, Lao Tzu will personally help you handle this matter, if you like it, talk to your brother, and promise to help you get it!" ”

When Zhang Han heard this, he laughed, patted Li Huai's shoulder and said, "See, a brother is a brother, your eldest brother Xiahou is interesting enough!" Then he turned to Xiahou Yuan and said, "I also lack a daughter-in-law, why don't you help me get a few?" ”

When Xiahou Yuan heard this, he punched it over, and scolded with a smile: "Fuck you, you have married seven or eight aunts, and you are not fucking satisfied, so you can leave a few for the brothers in the army!" After saying that, everyone laughed.
