Cao Cao naturally knew the intentions of Lin Sen and Lao Gen in his heart, and said righteously: "The meritorious Son of Heaven will definitely have a reward, and the foolish brother will truthfully show the Son of Heaven and ask for merit for you." ”

The corners of Lin Sen's mouth smiled slightly, deliberately pretending not to know, and asked, "I don't know why Brother Meng De came this time?" But the traitor Yuan Shu was killed by his brother? ”

Cao Cao said solemnly: "There are two things that need to be asked of the two virtuous brothers this time. ”

"Brother Mengde, but please come."

"Zhong's usurpation, the indignation of heaven and people, the edict of the Son of Heaven ordered the foolish brother to lead the world to discuss Yuan Shu, and now it has been several months and has not succeeded, the foolish brother is ashamed, so this time I came to invite the two virtuous brothers to lead the troops to the south together, stationed in Guangling County, Xuzhou, and looked at Shouchun."

Lin Sen and Lao Gen glanced at each other and asked, "What about the second one?" ”

Cao Cao continued: "As for the second one, I wonder if the virtuous brother can return Xuande is wife and daughter, and make peace with Xuande? ”

"Now that Yuan Shu has not been eliminated and the world has not been decided, there should really be no more civil strife, which will give the traitors an opportunity to take advantage of and cause greater damage to the people of the world, what do the two virtuous brothers think?"

"Hahaha." Lin Sen smiled contemptuously: "Brother Meng De is really an understatement, since the usurpation of the Zhong family, my Jizhou and Sili armies have received the edict of the Son of Heaven, without the slightest hesitation, immediately for the imperial court to rebel, since October, the southern and northern wars, the first soldier, hundreds of thousands of loyal souls bloodstained on the battlefield, from Peiguo to Xuzhou, not to seek merit, but to be worthy of the people of the world, the right emperor's holy grace, but how did he Liu Xuande treat me, if it wasn't for my surprise attack on Xiapi, forced Lu Bu back. I'm afraid that you would have died under Lu Bu's halberd a long time ago, and would you still have the opportunity to besiege and kill me at the banquet? The guy who will take revenge still wants me to make peace with you. Can our hundreds of thousands of loyal souls agree, it's a ridiculous thing in the world! ”

"General Lin, this ......"

Lao Gen took over the words and continued: "Brother Meng De, don't say it, today we and the soldiers of the three armies have been chilled, and they are unable to rebel for the imperial court. As for the matter of suppressing thieves, Brother Meng De still appoints those loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty to do it. Leave! ”

After speaking, Lao Gen got up and was about to leave, but Cao Cao hurriedly got up and stopped him, saying, "General Lao Gen stays!" General Lao Gen and General Wang Geng are the pillars of my Han Dynasty, and the Son of Heaven also knows the contributions made by the two generals to the imperial court, but at present, the **** usurped the rebellion, and the two are people who are sensible and righteous. Please also be considerate of the court's distress. ”

Lin Sen got up and said: "Be considerate and considerate, we must be considerate, we are ministers, how dare we disobey!" This is a note written by the last general. General Lao played the Son of Heaven on his behalf, and our brother still has something to do, so he will leave. ”

Walk to the front of Liu Zheng. Lin Sen smiled and said, "Liu Xuande, your wife and daughter are all in Xiaopei City. No one has touched it, if you still want to go and get it yourself. Remember that it's best to bring your family with you next time you run for your life, it's not easy to marry two daughters-in-law, Mrs. Gan is okay, Mrs. Mi is your newlywed wife, and everyone is beautiful, it's not easy to pick it up if you throw it away, besides, how do you explain to Mi Zhu, people promise to marry their sister to you as a daughter-in-law, but you throw it everywhere, right Mi Zhu? ”

Before leaving, Lin Sen didn't forget to make up a knife, and then turned around and left with Lao Gen, he didn't forget to sneak a glance, Liu Bei's face completely turned purple, and Cao Cao's face changed.

In fact, Cao Cao came this time to solve Liu Bei's affairs, he wanted to recruit Liu Bei to work under his account, and the second most important point was to open a breakthrough from Xuzhou and march into Yangzhou.

Cao Cao didn't say it himself, Lin Sen didn't pay attention to it recently, in fact, the Huaishui War was very unsmooth, at first, Liu Biao only sent a partial division to support Cao Cao, there were dozens of warships, and the commander was also an unknown person.

Liu Biao was furious, and then sent the general Wen Ping to lead a naval division to help again, the number of warships reached 300, who knew that the Taiwan Associated Press also increased its troops, they fought with the Jinfan Sailor Division undefeated, and even had a slight upper hand, after the Jinsail Sailor Division withdrew to the north, they went upriver from the Huaishui.

The most terrifying thing is that they only came with 500 ships, and the remaining 500 ships, together with the bright stars, Jiaozhou at the end of the world, the three sides sent another army and horses directly to Jingzhou, and accompanied by several generals with more than second-rate history.

In this way, Liu Biao could no longer aid Cao ****, Cao Cao was shelved on the north bank of Huaishui, looking at the river and sighing, and the war was held on to each other.

Now that Cao Cao led 200,000 soldiers and horses to come, he really wanted to open up the situation from Xuzhou, but he didn't expect Lin Sen and Lao Gen to be so decisive.

Things have developed so far, Cao Cao resents Liu Bei in his heart, this does not involve the problem of recruiting talents, if he does not defeat Yuan Shu, the emperor and the court in his hands are worthless, this is the most important thing.

Now there is some taste of rowing the river and governing, the Yangtze River and Huaishui north obey the Han family in his hands, and the south of the Jianghuai River is mostly the Yuan Shu camp, and the north has been dominated by cavalry, and when it comes to the southern water network, water warfare is particularly important, and many times it determines his status in the local area, but Cao Cao does not even have a warship.

In fact, it is also because Cao Cao has occupied Yanzhou for a short time, and Yanzhou is not a rich place, unlike Lin Sen, who has occupied Jizhou for more than ten years, and there are two states, Cao Cao wants to develop a water division and does not have such a large water system, he is not close to the sea, and there is no big inland lake, mainly because there is not so much money.

The sailor is a symbol of big industry, a warship is worth 10,000 gold, in contrast, Cao Cao really does not have that ability, Liu Biao is very lucky, he is also later, but Jingzhou has its own sailor, he is inherited from the shadow of his predecessors.

Lin Sen didn't agree, Cao Cao had to find someone else, Xuzhou was a territory he had always dreamed of, but Lin Sen didn't leave, and he couldn't show his desire to occupy Xuzhou at the moment.

At the banquet, after learning of Lin Sen and Lao Gen's thoughts, Cao Cao seemed to have changed his initial idea slightly, Lu Bu died, Liu Bei also became a loner, except for Guan Zhang's second general, there was no soldier, who else in Xuzhou could be his opponent, and when Lin Sen and Lao Gen left, was this the best time for him to seize Xuzhou.

However, we can't be in a hurry, we still need to be cautious, when we first arrived in Xuzhou, the situation has not yet been clarified, and rashly entering the army may backfire.

When he was alone, Cao Cao took out the music table that Lin Sen handed him, and after opening it, he was surprised, Lin Sen's music table said that Yuan Shao had committed other states and counties, and that Yuan Shao was attached to Yuan Shu, and that he had committed other states and counties at this time, in fact, in response to Yuan Shu.

"Brother Benchu, Brother Benchu, you're in big trouble this time, but thank you for helping me, hahaha."

Sure enough, the next day, Lin Sen and Lao Gen left at the same time, and they walked completely, Lin Sen borrowed it to the north, and Lao Gen went directly to the west, seeing that the route was to go straight to the Tiger Prison Pass, and return to Chang'an through Luoyang.

The harvest of Lao Gen in this battle is still quite large, and Chen Gong alone is better than anything else; In addition to weapons and equipment, Lin Sen only gained plot merits, and the biggest gain was that Yuan Shao took the initiative to send troops, giving him plenty of reasons to exterminate Yuan Shao and pacify Qingzhou.

Before leaving, Xiapi and Pengcheng were occupied by Zang Ba, Hua Shao and others, fortunately Lin Sen provided the news quickly, otherwise Xiapi would really be taken away by Yuan Shu's subordinate Zhang Xun, Zang Ba and the others occupied Xiapi first, and defeated Zhang Xun, which is also the last block that Lin Sen filled for Cao Cao before leaving, I hope it will have some effect.

I hope that Lu Bu's death will not bring too many changes to Xuzhou......
