Walking side by side with Cao Cao, hearing Cao Cao's questions to him, Jia Xu withdrew his gaze from the side of the road, turned his head to look at Cao Cao, and said with a slight smile: "Xia Guan came here this time to give Ming Gong a benefit!" ”

"Benefits?" Looking at Jia Xu, Cao Cao had a smile on his face, moved his head closer to Jia Xu, lowered his voice, and asked him a little mysteriously: "The benefits that Zhonglang said are in Chang'an?" ”

Cao Cao has a lot of capable people around him, and he will guess that the benefit is in Chang'an, and Jia Xu is not surprised. When Cao Cao said the word "Chang'an", Jia Xu nodded with a smile, lowered his voice and said to Cao Cao: "If the Duke of Ming goes to Chang'an, with the might of the Yanzhou army, Li Dao and Guo Yan are just chickens and dogs, and if they can save His Majesty today, wouldn't the Duke of Ming be ......?"

Having said this, Jia Xu didn't continue, but kept a smile on his face and looked at Cao Cao.

Touching Jia Xu's eyes, Cao Cao didn't speak, and also looked at Jia Xu with a smile on his face.

The two knew in each other's hearts what the other wanted to say, but they didn't break each other's words, and they looked at each other with a smile on their faces for a moment, and then continued to walk along the street towards the Puyang Mansion.

was about to walk to the door of the Puyang official mansion, when Jia Xu suddenly heard a shout from in front of him: "Get out of the way, I want to see Cao Gong!" ”

Following the shout, looking forward, what appeared in Jia Xu's sight was a young man in a snow-white suit. The young man was much taller than ordinary people, and he was stopped by several Yanzhou soldiers, and he was almost a head taller than those Yanzhou soldiers.

Because the young man is very tall, people will be impressed at a glance, although they are far away, Jia Xu can still see that the young man's face is very resolute.

Glancing at the young man, Jia Xu turned his head and looked at Cao Cao with a surprised face.

"This man is the son of Ma Teng!" Seeing Jia Xu looking at him, Cao Cao walked forward slowly, smiled slightly, and said to him: "When I came to Puyang yesterday, what I did was just like Zhonglang......

It was Ma Chao who was stopped by several Yanzhou soldiers. As soon as he mentioned the purpose of Ma Chao's coming to Puyang, Cao Cao didn't say any more, just looked at Jia Xu with a somewhat playful smile.

Looking at Cao Cao's smile, Jia Xu suddenly felt a sense of foreboding in his heart. This smile is too playful, just from this smile, Jia Xu can see that if he wants Cao Cao to send troops, I am afraid that Liu Wei will have to pay more price.

"You're so bold!" Approaching Ma Chao a little closer, Cao Cao frowned slightly, and shouted at the Yanzhou soldiers who stopped Ma Chao: "Why stop the little general?" ”

Several Yanzhou soldiers heard Cao Cao's question, and hurriedly bowed to the side, one by one, their hands clenched into fists and their waists were deeply bent, and they didn't even dare to say a word.

Ma Chao is young after all, seeing several Yanzhou soldiers retreating to the side, he strode towards Cao Cao, and when Cao Cao approached, he clasped his fists with both hands and bowed to Cao Cao, but said with a little resentment in his tone: "The last general came from afar, imploring Cao Gong to send troops to Qin Wang, Cao Gong is a Han minister, and he is a Han Lu, why is he unwilling to reply?" ”

"Little general, don't worry!" Raising his hand to Ma Chaoxu, Cao Cao smiled, turned his head to look at Jia Xu beside him, and said to Ma Chao: "This is Jia Zhonglang in front of the Luoyang king's tent......

"Really?" Knowing that it was Zhonglang in front of Liu Biao who was standing next to Cao Cao, Ma Chao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly raised his head, saluted Jia Xu with a fist, and said to Jia Xu: "My father knew that although the King of Luoyang was in Youzhou, he would never sit back and watch the court be controlled by traitors. ”

"Your Highness cares about the imperial court, and you will not sit idly by!" Jia Xu clenched his fists, gave Ma Chao a salute back, turned his head to look at Cao Cao, and asked with a smile: "The lower officials and the little general came to send troops for Ming Gong, and I think Ming Gong will definitely not refuse......

"Zhonglang has a point!" Jia Xu's words were the head-on general Cao Cao's army, Cao Cao smiled slightly, did not answer the question directly, but responded, and made a gesture of invitation to Jia Xu and Ma Chao and said: "The banquet has been prepared, the two of you are seated, and the dispatch of troops is very important, we must discuss it carefully before it is appropriate!" ”

Regarding Cao Cao's reaction, Jia Xu didn't feel anything, just smiled slightly and nodded slowly. But Ma Chao, who was born as a military general, heard the overtones in his words, his brows furrowed suddenly, and a look of anger suddenly appeared on his face.

Feeling that Ma Chao's expression was a little wrong, Jia Xu had a smile on his face, made a gesture to Ma Chao and said, "The little general's father and son are diligent for the country, the little general, please!" ”

was glaring at Cao Cao with an angry face, and was called by Jia Xu, Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly made a gesture to Jia Xu and said, "Zhonglang first, please!" ”

Xiang Ma Chao nodded slowly, and Jia Xu then made a gesture of invitation to Cao Cao and said, "Ming Gong, please!" ”

"Please, two of you!" Cao Cao didn't say anything polite to Jia Xu, gave Jia Xu a salute back, greeted the two of them again, and walked into the official mansion with his feet raised.

When Jia Xu and Ma Chao also followed into the official mansion, a group of Yanzhou officials followed in.

Ma Chao had an angry look on his face before, and many Yanzhou officials behind him saw it seriously. As soon as he entered the mansion, a very burly general stared at Ma Chao's back and spat to the side.

As soon as the general spat on his mouth, Xiahoudun on the side reached out and pulled the corner of his clothes and shook his head slowly.

Turning his head to look at Xiahou Xuan, the spitting general lowered his voice and said: "Straight lady thief, dare to stare at Ming Gong like that, if it weren't for Ming Gong's eyes, a certain knife would have chopped him." ”

"Wonderful!" Listening to the general's words, Xiahoudun glared at him again, lowered his voice very low, and said to him with a bit of reproach in his tone: "Don't make trouble for Ming Gong!" ”

The spitting general is born with broad shoulders and a round waist, needless to say, his most prominent feature is his hairy beard.

The hairy beard on his cheeks is very different from the beard of ordinary people. The beards on both sides are like two brushes dipped in ink and written vertically, which lie across the cheeks, thick and heavy.

"Yes!" glared back at Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Yuan replied angrily.

Seeing that Xiahou Yuan's face was not retreating, Xiahou Yuan was still quite worried in his heart, for fear that at the banquet, Xiahou Yuan would not be able to see Ma Chao and would make trouble on the spot.

Jia Xu entered Puyang and was attending a banquet in the Puyang official mansion, and Liu Wei at this time led the Luoyang army to break through the last city of Dai County.

The Luoyang army attacked the city all the way, invincible, and the fighting will of the Jizhou defenders who were defeated and retreated was on the verge of collapse, and when the city defenders had almost no decent resistance, the defending officers decided to open the city to surrender to Liu.

Standing on the wall of the city, Liu Wei straightened up and looked into the distance. His brow furrowed slightly, as if he was pondering something.

Guan Qing stood behind him, straightening up like him. The two had been standing on the city wall for a long time, and neither had spoken to each other, but had silently stared into the distance.

"Call the general who guards the city!" I don't know how long he stood on the city wall, Liu Wei didn't reply, and gave a faint order behind him.

A Yu Linwei, who was standing two steps behind Guan Qing, heard Liu Wei's order, hurriedly answered, turned around and ran under the city wall.

After a while, that Yu Lin Wei took a person who was still wearing the armor of the Jizhou army and ran quickly to the city wall.

When he arrived behind Liu Bian, the man wearing the armor of the Jizhou army general bowed with his fists and bowed deeply, and bowed deeply to Liu Bian, not even daring to straighten his waist, and said in a panic: "The last general will knock on His Highness!" ”

"Hmm!" With his back to the general, Liu Wei nodded, raised his hand and pointed forward, and asked the general: "After that, how far is it from Yuyang?" ”

"Back to Your Highness!" Liu Wei asked about the distance to Yuyang, and General Pi hurriedly replied: "This place is far from Yuyang, and after the city, it is not far from the boundary of Shanggu County." There are far more garrisons in the upper valley than in the Daijun, and if His Highness enters the upper valley, he must be careful. Especially in Zhuolu and Juyong, it is a heavy garrison ......"

Listening to the general's description, Liu Wei never looked back. Before the city was breached, the scouts had reported to him, and after the city they were about to enter the Upper Valley.

Shanggu is adjacent to Yuyang, and as the most rearmost line of defense on the west side of Yuyang, the Jizhou garrison will not be too small. It's just that the scouts haven't yet found out how many garrisons there are in Shanggu, so Liu Wei will summon the general to the front and ask him for information ahead.

With his back to the general, Liu Wei didn't speak again, and the general who was standing not far behind him with his fists in his fist didn't dare to move much, and cold sweat broke out on his nervous forehead.

If he hadn't been wearing heavy armor, I'm afraid he would have been able to clearly see that the clothes on his back had already been soaked with sweat.

"Your Highness!" Liu Wei was looking in the direction of the upper valley, and a personal soldier quickly ran up from the city, bowed with his fists and looked very flustered and said to Liu Bian: "There is a fight in the city!" ”

"Who fought?" After listening to the report of the pro-soldier, Liu Wei turned around, first waved his hand to the general on the side, and waited until the general retired and left, and then asked the pro-soldier who reported the news.

"Dragoon Guard and Feather Forest Guard!" The pro-soldier looked very flustered, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, first turned his head to look at several Yu Linwei standing on the spot, and then said to Liu Wei: "When the two groups of people broke through Handan, they had already formed a grudge, and they had always been pressed by General Deng, so they did not make trouble. Now that General Deng has not returned for many days, they ......"

"Say no more!" Without waiting for the soldier to finish speaking, Liu Wei waved his hand at him, and said with a little unhappiness in his tone: "My own brothers are fighting, or the dragoon guards and Yulin guards around this king, if it is spread out, what kind of system will it become?" ”

"Pass the order, let the Tiger Benwei go and arrest the troublesome Dragoon Guards and Yulin Guards!" Furrowing his brows, Liu Wei waved his hand at the personal soldier who reported the news, and said to him: "Tell Hu Benwei that this king wants them to seal all the nearby streets and alleys before they start, and don't let one person escape!" ”

"No!" The soldier responded with a fist, took two steps back, then turned around and ran down the city wall as fast as he could.

"Qing'er will go with this king to have a look!" When the pro-soldier left, Liu Wei greeted Guan Qing on the side, and walked towards the steps of the city wall first.

Several Yu Linwei standing behind Guan Qing knew that it was their brother who caused trouble, and when Liu Wei left, they looked at each other one by one, until Liu Wei and Guan Qing had already walked to the edge of the stairs, and several people hurriedly followed.
