"Yes, there is a way that a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, and the lord goes to Yecheng, and the environment he faces is quite complicated.

Zijia and Boyan are still a little immature. Brother Tiger and Ling Ming's bravery, we are very relieved, but if the lord wants to go to Yecheng, he needs to bring another person. If Kong Ming wants to stay and deal with government affairs, it is better for me to go with the lord and give advice. ”

Sima Yi looked excited, but Liu Chuang couldn't help laughing.

"Zhongda, aren't you afraid of being detected by Cao Cao?"

"This ......"

Sima Yi assisted Liu Chuang at the behest of Sima Fang. And Sima Fang is now in Xudu, which can be said to be a simple residence, and it is precisely to cover up Sima Yi. If Sima Yi is exposed at this time, then the Sima family will inevitably be in trouble. The most important thing is that Sima Yi is in charge of the Yellow Pavilion and has a heavy responsibility. As far as the current situation is concerned, it is indeed not suitable for some people to come out and show their heads.

Liu Chuang said: "I know Boyan's talent best.

Don't look at his tepid appearance under Zilong's tent, but in terms of means, he may not be inferior to Kong Ming and Zhongda. With him to follow, it is enough to deal with a qiē, and then there is a son family to pick up the gaps, I believe that if you go to Yecheng, even if the Yuan family brothers join forces, they will not be able to do it. ”

He didn't say a word: he couldn't take Sima Yi over this time, but Sima Yi's Huang Pavilion would become his eyes and ears in Yecheng.

Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang glanced at each other, and saw that Liu Chuang's attitude was resolute, and they didn't know what to do.

Liu Chuang smiled and said, "Kong Ming, Zhongda, don't underestimate me."

I think that at the beginning, Kong Ming followed me to fight Cao Cao in Xuzhou, that is, I had no soldiers. I was not afraid of Cao Cao. Not to mention. I now have a son's uncle. Wu Youzhong Kang Lingming...... Hehe, unless Yuan Xiansi's head is broken, he will not dare to disadvantage me.

However, Zhong Kang followed me to Yecheng, and there was still a need for someone to garrison Juzhu Mountain.

It just so happens that Xiaogong has nothing to do right now, his ability to command the army, no one can match him, and he is calm and capable. You can stay in the sentence note mountain. ”

That Taiyuan, after all, there is still a scorching touch.

Although Liu Chuang didn't take Jiao Touch in his eyes, he also had to be on guard against it, and that Jiao Touch suddenly attacked.

"That ......"

"This matter has been decided, I estimate that in the next few days, Yuan Shang will send someone here.

When the time comes, Kong Ming will come forward to entertain you, and the specific matters will be handed over to you to be responsible, and I will prepare the troops and horses during this time, and then set out on the expedition. ”

Liu Chuang made the final decision. Zhuge Liang also knew that if he persuaded at this time, it would be counterproductive.

Do the math. He has been following Liu Chuang for five or six years...... Zhuge Liang is also very clear about Liu Chuang's temperament. Although Liu Chuang is an excellent talker most of the time, he can also humbly accept advice and listen to the persuasion of others. But if he decides something, the eight cows can't pull it back. For example, when he was in Xuzhou, Liu Chuang decided to go to Xudu, and no one could persuade him.

and Sima Yi glanced at each other, Zhuge Liang bowed down to receive the order.

He will try his best to arrange things properly, and he will also try to make it as convenient as possible for Liu Chuangchuang.

Liu Chuang went to Yecheng here to plan for the future. As a courtier, it is a great shame that the lord is in danger, and he cannot help. Since this situation cannot be changed, then he, as the most trusted mastermind by Liu Chuang's side, is also the person that Liu Chuang regards as a brother, Zhuge Liang swears that no matter what the result of Yuan and Liu's cooperation against Cao this time is, he must ensure Liu Chuang's safe return.

At the same time, Sima Yi also secretly made up his mind that he would make Huang Ge pave the way for Liu Chuang......

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

That night, Liu Chuang was alone in the study, looking through the information collected by the Yellow Pavilion.

Sima Yi did his best this time, and reported all his efforts in the past year to Liu Chuang.

The situation in Yecheng is not optimistic.

Yuan Shao fought Cao Cao twice, and almost two-thirds of the elite of Yuan's army was transferred. And the separation of Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan made the power in the hands of both sides even weaker. Fortunately, Yuan Shao left a strong family foundation for the second son of the Yuan family, and the population of Jizhou was sufficient, which also made Yuan Shang's troops not overstretched. Since December, Yuan Shang has been recruiting troops and horses in Yecheng, and now there are 50,000 troops.

50,000?

Sounds great.

But most of these 50,000 people are a rabble who have never been on the battlefield and have not been trained.

In the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Cangting, Yuan Shao successively invested 200,000 soldiers and horses, but only one-fifth remained......

How can such a group of recruits be the opponents of Cao Cao's Tiger and Wolf Army?

Yecheng is currently short of grain and grass, and the ordnance is outdated. All the qiē has already shown Yuan's fatigue, and it is not easy to block Cao Cao.

Liu Chuang closed the file and closed his eyes.

He leaned on his back in a large chair and faced the sky, trying to recall how Er Yuan had fought against Cao Cao in history.

In history, after Yuan Shao's death...... The Yuan brothers fought against Cao Cao for four or five years, and Cao Cao was able to unify Hebei, and at the same time lost Guo Jia, a mastermind.

Slow down, Guo Jia?

Liu Chuang suddenly shuddered, and suddenly opened his eyes.

Guo Jia has been too low-key recently......

Liu Chuang's jealousy of Guo Jia comes from the bottom of his heart. The biggest loss in his life was Guo Jia's handiwork. That time, Liu Chuang lost Huang Shao Huang Gongmei, and it is still a pain in Liu Chuang's heart. Cao Cao's troops entered Hebei, how could Guo Jia not move?

You must know that there is more than one Guo Jia under Cao Cao's account.

He has Xun Yu, who is strategic, Xun Yu, who is full of wisdom, Cheng Yu, who is scheming, Guo Jia, who is cunning and cunning, and Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, who is used to hiding behind the scenes, but has no last resort. A ghost, a poisoner, these two people didn't even make any moves? It doesn't seem very scientific...... The more this is the case, the more vigilant Liu Chuang must be! You must know that he is now facing a Cao Cao who has reached his peak state. At the beginning, a Guo Jia almost killed Liu Chuang. And now there is another poisoner......

"Someone!"

"Whoa!"

On duty outside the study was Li Yifeng, who heard Liu Chuang's call and immediately walked into the study.

"You go to Zhongda immediately. I have important matters to counsel with him. ”

"Whoa!"

Li Yifeng took the order and left. And Liu Chuang sat in the study. Pick up the file and continue to read it.

At this moment, there was a sound of chatter outside the door.

"Who's outside the house."

Liu Chuang raised his head and sighed.

Outside the house, there was silence for a while, and a timid voice came after a while, "Husband, it's me!" ”

Liu Chuang frowned, got up and walked to the door. Pull the door open.

The temperature outside was very low, but I saw Cao Xian standing outside the door, his little face was red from the cold.

"It's so late, why don't you rest?"

Liu Chuang saw Cao Xian's thin clothes, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and hurriedly pulled her into the room.

"How can you wear such a thin layer on such a cold day?"

He took Cao Xian's little hand, only to feel that Cao Xian's little hand was cold, so he put it in the palm of his hand and took a hot breath towards Cao Xian's hand, and then gently rubbed it.

Cao Xian's little face. It's redder.

However, it wasn't because of the redness from the cold. It's because of shyness.

"Girl, is there something wrong with coming to me so late?"

Cao Xian lowered his head, and said softly after a while: "The concubine heard that the husband is ready to join forces with the Yuan family to fight against his father?" ”

"This ......"

Liu Chuang really didn't know how to explain to Cao Xian...... And this matter is impossible to hide from Cao Xian. Between him and Cao Cao, there is no room for relaxation. If Liu Chuang is alone now, the two sides may be able to ease up. But now, Liu Chuang is the hope of many people, and he has no way to retreat. Cao Xian was also very clear about this, but he didn't expect the confrontation between the two to be so early.

"Don't misunderstand, the concubine is not here to persuade the husband.

You have told your concubine that there is no personal grudge between you and your father, but justice...... How can a concubine be abolished for personal reasons? It's just that Huang Xu'er has been with me for two years, and now he is thirteen years old. The husband and his father clashed, and Huang Xu'er should not continue to stay by her husband's side...... So the concubine was brave and wanted to ask her husband to send Huang Xu'er back. After all, if he continues to stay here, he will cause a lot of trouble. ”

After speaking, Cao Xian's eyes widened and he looked at Liu Chuang pleadingly.

Although Liu Chuang and Cao Cao had grievances before, there was no head-on conflict after all......

Even in a certain way, he and Cao Cao were allies. But now, the situation has changed. Yuan Shao died, and Cao Cao had become the largest prince in the north. The balance of strength between the two sides has changed, and the relationship between this ally has also come to naught with Yuan Shao's death.

As soon as Yuan Shao died, Liu Chuang and Cao Cao became enemies.

Liu Chuang also felt helpless about this, yesterday's ally, today's enemy...... I can only sigh that the world is impermanent.

But in this way, it is indeed not suitable for Cao Zhang to stay.

After all, he is Cao Cao's son, even if he is close to Cao Xian, he will never be able to draw a line with Cao Cao like Cao Xian. If Cao Zhang continues to stay here, Cao Cao is not at ease, Liu Chuang is not at ease, Cao Xian is not at ease, and Elk is not at ease, and everyone will not be at ease.

Therefore, Cao Xian's request is reasonable.

Liu Chuang also has no intention of taking Cao Zhang as a hostage, in fact, in the face of a hero like Cao Cao, don't say that Cao Zhang is a hostage, even if Cao Cao's father comes back from the dead, I'm afraid Cao Cao will not be restrained. It's a heroic trait, ruthless. Didn't Liu Bang win the world because of this ruthlessness in history? In this case, it is even more pointless to leave Cao Zhang, it is better to send Cao Zhang back to Xudu......

Liu Chuang quickly made a decision, nodded lightly and said, "If you don't say this, I will do it too."

Huang Xu'er stayed here, it was indeed a little embarrassing...... In this case, let him stay and spend the New Year with you, and I will send him back. ”

Cao Xian shook his head, "Since you are looking back, why do you need to keep a memory?"

Huang Xu'er staying, but it will make it more difficult for the concubine to do, so it is better to let him leave earlier. ”

Liu Chuang listened, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded in agreement......

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Three days later, Liu Chuang ordered Frustrated Hu to take Cao Zhang to Liaoxi, where a ship was waiting to see Cao Zhang off.

Cao Zhang and Cao Xian were reluctant, and they burst into tears before leaving.

He likes Liaoxi, and prefers the feeling of riding a horse and galloping through the northern grasslands...... But he knew better that it was difficult to maneuver between his brother-in-law and his father, and it was not a good thing for him to stay for Liu Chuang or Cao Cao. Even if he is reluctant to Cao Xian, he must leave Youzhou.

Inside, the mood is extremely complicated.

After separating from Cao Xian, Cao Zhang rode a sweaty and bloody horse that Liu Chuang got from Daxianbei Mountain and came to Liu Chuang's horse.

"If you dare to bully the eldest sister, I will not spare you."

Looking at Cao Zhang's stubborn appearance, Liu Chuang was not annoyed, but smiled.

To tell the truth, among Cao Cao's children, Liu Chuang's favorite is not Cao Pi, the male lord who established Cao Wei, nor Cao Zhi, who is brilliant and talented. His favorite is Cao Zhang, because from Cao Zhang's body, Liu Chuang felt a heroic and heroic spirit.

"Don't worry, Huang Xu'er, if I bully Yuwa, when he meets on the field, I will definitely let you be shot."

Cao Zhang's heart was sour, and his eyes were red.

He likes Liu Chuang very much, because Liu Chuang has never had a fight, and he is also extremely kind.

That feels...... It's like a brother.

With his brother-in-law on one side and his father on the other, Cao Zhang didn't know how to choose.

He took a deep breath and arched his hand towards Liu Chuang, "Brother-in-law, if he meets on the battlefield one day, I will not show mercy to my subordinates." ”

"Hehe, if that's the case, I'm going to capture you alive and then spank your ass."

"Humph!"

Cao Zhang turned the horse's head, and accompanied by the frustrated bird, he walked away.

Seeing Cao Zhang's back disappear at the end of the official road, Cao Xian couldn't bear it anymore and cried out loud.

Liu Chuang got off the horse, walked behind Cao Xian, stretched out his hand and took her in his arms, "Yuwa don't cry, Huang Xu'er will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future." ”

"But I don't want him to be a big thing, I just want to ......"

Cao Xian was sad in his heart, and he whimpered in Liu Chuang's arms.

Cao Zhang's departure, she is really lonely...... From now on, the only people she can rely on are Liu Chuang and Xiao Hei.

How could she not cry?

Liu Chuang could only sigh: This is fate, and no one can change it!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The footsteps of the New Year are coming unconsciously.

In the seventh year of Jian'an, with a night of spring rain, it came to the world.

Yuan Shang sent an envoy to discuss the matter of joint resistance against Cao. In this regard, the two sides can be described as an instant hit...... Yuan Shang needed Liu Chuang's support to stabilize the people's hearts and boost morale; Liu Chuang needed Yuan Shang to block Cao Cao and give him plenty of respite. The purpose of both sides is the same, so it didn't take much effort. After several days of discussions, the two sides decided on an agreement to jointly resist Cao.

For this reason, Liu Chuang will stop the conquest of the state, and the soldiers and horses will not be allowed to cross the water.

The two sides made a temporary truce against Cao Cao...... General Liu Chuang led a group of soldiers and horses to Yecheng in person to discuss cooperation with Yuan Shang.

After the two sides reached an agreement, they immediately took action.

Xu Chu had already arrived at Puyin with three thousand old men to prepare to join Liu Chuang.

And Liu Chuang was also ready, got out of the gentle township, and took Lu Yu, Pang De, Wu Anguo, Li Yifeng and eight hundred flying Xiongwei to embark on the journey to Jizhou.

Before leaving, Zhuge Liang took Liu Chuang's hand.

He took out three bags and handed them to Liu Chuang, "If my brother is in trouble, you can open the bags, maybe you can help ......."

Tips?

Liu Chuang looked at the bag marked with one, two, three marks in his hand, and couldn't help but smile.

This Kong Ming still likes this kind of tune...... Tricks? In this way, we have to see what Zhuge Kongming's calculations are. (To be continued......)
