It is no exaggeration to say that now in Bingzhou, Cai Yong's influence is second only to Zhang Chao's existence. Now that he deigned to come here, Lu Su didn't dare not greet him in person.

Outside the Taishou Mansion, Lu Su introduced Cai Yong to his office with the gift of a student welcoming the teacher, "Cai Gong, if you have something to do, send someone to call me there, how can I let you come over in person." ”

"Hehe, Zijing, you are also my student, can you only allow students to see the teacher, can't the teacher come to see the student?" Cai Yong smiled, very satisfied with Lu Su's attitude towards him.

"Yes, yes, what Cai Gong said is extremely true. I just don't know what you have to teach you this time? Lu Su said cautiously. He didn't believe that Cai Yong would come without incident, presumably something important had happened. And in his opinion, everything related to this person is a big deal.

Under Lu Su's service, Cai Yong sat on the main seat, and then looked at Lu Su's face and slowly became serious, then reached into his arms, took out a letter from it and handed it over, "Zijing, you can take a look at this first." ”

"Yes, Gong Cai, please take a seat." After Lu Su took the letter, he unfolded it and looked at it. Then his face was much more serious.

After a while, after Lu Su fully understood the meaning of the letter, he turned his hand to Cai Yong and said, "Dare to ask Cai Gong, is this sent by Wang Kuang?" ”

"Yes, the old man has just received it, and the person who delivered the letter is resting in my mansion." Cai Yong nodded.

"Hmm." Lu Su nodded, and then asked with a slight raised brow: "Then I don't know what Cai Gong means." ”

Asked about his opinion, Cai Yong nodded slowly and said: "Speaking of which, I am still an old friend with this Wang Kuang, and I used to have a very close relationship, and I also recommended him to be used by the general He Jin at that time, but later because he obeyed Dong Zhuo, I stopped interacting with him." What I didn't expect was that he was facing a crisis today, and he did think of me again. Hehe, of course, our relationship is put aside for the time being, just as the situation is concerned, does Zijing think we should send troops to Hanoi to help Wang Kuang? ”

Although Cai Yong is in his sixties, he is indeed not confused. If it is beneficial to his son-in-law Zhang Chao, he will naturally do it. But if it is unfavorable, he also knows how to avoid it.

"Cai Gong is righteous." Hearing Cai Yong's words, Lu Su hurriedly bowed. Then he got up and said: "As far as interests are concerned, if Yuan Shao wins Hanoi, it will naturally be unfavorable to the lord." But now our army is under the lord to open up the road to Youzhou, if you say that you will send troops to Hanoi, you don't have such strength. ”

For others, Lu Su may be snorted and not tell the truth. But in the face of Cai Yong, he would never dare to play any tricks.

"Oh? So, you can't send troops? Cai Yong's eyes froze after hearing this. Although he is now the dean of the academy and seems to teach and educate people every day, he has always been very concerned about national affairs and has his own understanding of the situation in all aspects. He naturally knew the importance of Hanoi.

"This... It is not possible to send troops directly, but in order to defend, it is still possible to send some people over to help the momentum. Lu Su replied indirectly, and after saying this, he got up and stood up, took out a bamboo slip from his study and presented it in front of Cai Yong, "Cai Gong, please take a look at this, this is left for the ministers when the lord went to Youzhou." ”

"Is this the letter that Zhi Yuan left when he left?" Cai Yong asked as he picked up the letter, and then slowly looked at it.

At this glance, his eyebrows furrowed together, and then he put it down again and said: "If it weren't for Zhiyuan's personal handwriting, I wouldn't have believed that he would make such a decision." ”

"Yes, this is exactly what the lord meant, he said that if Yuan Shao wants to take Hanoi, he will take it. At most, send troops to the side, just to prevent it from gaining an inch. Lu Su repeated the content on Zhang Chao's bamboo slip and said: "The lord is afraid that he has his own considerations, and it is indeed not easy for us to make too many enemies now." ”

Although he was a little hesitant about Zhang Chao's words, Cai Yong still supported his son-in-law very much, from a small scholar to a prince who is now ruling one side, and he knows the hardships of the process very well. Now it seems that many of Zhang Chao's actions are very forward-looking and correct, even if this is the case, this person's ability should be credible. Even if he made such a decision, then it should be done accordingly.

"Okay, even if Zhiyuan has an idea, I won't say anything, I'll reply to the messenger, and say that I will send troops to help, so maybe I can also increase Wang Kuang's resistance and save time." After Cai Yong understood Zhang Chao's meaning, he made a decision.

"Cai Gongshen's lord's intentions, I admire." After seeing that Cai Yong had made the right decision, Lu Su bowed down again and said.

"Hehe, I'm not confused. Okay, don't delay Zijing's office, the old man is gone. Cai Yong smiled and patted Lu Su's shoulder to show encouragement, then got up and left the Taishou Mansion.

Soon after, the envoy sent by Wang Kuang left Jinyang City with a happy face. After he returned to Huaixian, Wang Kuang also strengthened his resistance after learning that Zhang Chaohui would send troops to support him, and defeated the two sieges of the Wenchou Department in succession.

Soon after, General Zhao Yun also left Jinyang City with 10,000 cavalry of the Dragon and Tiger Army and went straight to Huguan, and their actions immediately attracted the attention of Wen Chou's army.

In the big tent in the army, Wen Chou looked at Tian Feng and Frustrated, who were still pondering there, with angry eyes: "Two military advisors, you should tell me, what is this Zhang Chao going to do?" My lord has just captured Youzhou, he is going to pick up the bargain, and now we are going to attack Hanoi, does he also want to come and plug in a lever? Does he have to be our enemy? ”

Wen Chou's attacks these days have not had much effect, which has made him hold back his anger, and now when he heard that Zhang Chao was going to send troops, he was naturally even more angry.

"General Wen, don't worry, I think even if Zhang Chao has such an idea now, he doesn't have such strength. I think most of them are just disturbing the army. He was frustrated, and soon said the truth of Zhao Yun's coming.

"Disturb the army, hum! What if not? What if he suddenly came out of nowhere while we were attacking the city? Wen Chou really didn't believe it. In his opinion, if it was just to disturb the army, why send 10,000 cavalry? This is definitely not a small strength. In Yuan Shao's army, which had very few cavalry, 10,000 cavalry suddenly appeared, and the lethality was not small.

Here's a point. The world is in turmoil, the princes stand side by side, and each has its own strength, but when it comes to the establishment of cavalry, no one has such a foresight as Zhang Chao. Most of the princes were still mainly infantry.

This also has a lot to do with the need for more economic support to build cavalry. If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Chao had obtained the five hundred carts of treasure that Dong Zhuo had transported from Luoyang to Chang'an, it would have been difficult to have so many cavalry.

seems to be Yuan Shaojun, although he is from a famous family, his financial resources are also abundant. But he did not build any strong cavalry, but continued to expand the infantry, and he wanted to win by the number of troops, not by quality.

It is precisely because of this that when he heard that Zhang Chao sent 10,000 cavalry, Wen Chou paid considerable attention to it.

Hearing Wen Chou's questioning voice, Fu Zhu also stood up a little angrily and said: "If General Wen is questioning the old man, I will go to the pot and close it in person, and I will ask Xu Yuan what he is going to do until the end?" ”

Since the news came that his son Frustration was killed by the Yellow Turban thieves, Frustration has been recuperating at home for a while, and when he came out, there were some changes in people, and it was a picture of putting life and death out of the way. Now when I saw someone questioning my opinion, I immediately got up and said.

"Oh, brother can't be like this, this matter needs to be considered in the long run." Seeing that the stubborn temper of frustration came up, Tian Feng on the side hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him.

"Yuan Hao doesn't need to say more, I have a decision." He did not listen to persuasion.

Seeing that Fu Zhu had made up his mind, Tian Feng knew his character and could not be changed, so he said: "Okay, even if my brother must be like this, I think it is better to send a general to follow, so that it can be safer, General Wen, what do you say?" ”

Wen Chou saw Tian Feng's gaze at him, thinking that there were many things that still needed these military advisors to give him a plan, and it was not easy to completely offend, so he said: "Okay, even if the frustrated military division is going to be like this, I think it's better to let General Zhang He accompany him." ”

Hearing that Zhang Hexiang was with him, Tian Feng was relieved, so he saluted Wen Chou and said, "So, thank you general." ”

Frustrated with anger, accompanied by Zhang He, he led more than 100 people towards Huguan in Shangdang County. And Wen Chou continued to organize troops to attack Huai County.

Before Huguan, Xu Shu had just greeted Zhao Yun, the general of the Dragon and Tiger Army, and got the news that Yuan Shaobu and Zhang He had come to the pass with more than 100 people. "Hehe, this is here to listen to our reality, that's it, please!"

At that moment, before Huguan, Xu Huang lined up with a thousand cavalry to greet him. The neat black armor and majestic military posture make it look very powerful from a distance.

"It's murderous." Zhang He accompanied him, and after seeing this group of cavalry from a distance, he cautiously persuaded him.

"How about murderous? What about the two armies fighting each other and not cutting the history? Having said, what is the fear of death? He snorted coldly, and then rode forward fearlessly, since the death of his son, he had long since lost the mind of living, and death may be a relief.

Before the frustration and his entourage came to Huguan, Xu Shu from afar greeted him in the company of the two generals, Zhao Yun and Xu Huang, "It turned out that Mr. Frustration was there in person, and he was not far away." ”

"Xu Yuanzhi, you and I don't have to pretend when we meet, I'll ask you. What does Zhang Zhiyuan mean when he suddenly pointed at Youzhou? Fortunately, our lord was magnanimous and didn't care, but now that we are attacking Hanoi, you have sent another 10,000 cavalry, what do you mean? ”
