The marching route of the Qingzhou Army was Beihai - Chen County - Jinan County, and Jinan County could be reached within two days under the rapid march.

Along the way, the people sent water and food, and Shi Xin either thanked him in person, or sent the general An Min, and the soldiers and civilians were close to each other wherever he went.

Qingzhou in the previous life was the place where the Yellow Turban Rebellion was the most harmful. In this world, due to its special geographical location, it has avoided all wars, so it has been the state of Tai Min'an, which is the first battle. This is due to the great reputation of Kong Rong and the Holy Sect, but no matter how good the reputation is, if the military is weak, it can only be eaten by mermaids, and Shi Xin's arrival is just in time.

Riding on a horse, Shi Xin looked at the great mountains and rivers of Qingzhou, the generals under his command were full of talents, and the soldiers were full of fighting spirit, and he couldn't help but be full of pride in his heart.

After marching for a few hours, Shi Xin summoned Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang and Chen Gong to him, "Three, the enemy army is more than twice as large as ours, and there are countless generals. This battle is destined to be difficult to fight, but is there a good way to retreat from the enemy?"

Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang were silent, and they all set their eyes on Chen Gong.

Chen Gong pouted at them angrily and said, "What do you think I have done? ”

Among the three military advisors, Jia Xu Mingzhe protects himself, and he will not take the lead if he is not named, and even if he is named, he will have reservations, unless Shi Xin is pressed. Zhuge Liang is cautious, and he is the youngest, and he has always been respectful in front of his predecessors, of course, he did not dare to speak first. Since neither of them wanted to say it first, Shi Xin had no choice but to look at Chen Gong as well, hoping that he would throw bricks and lead the jade and say something first.

Seeing that the three of them were looking at him intently, Chen Gong smiled bitterly, "In my opinion, the most important breakthrough point is on Cao Cao. ”

After saying this, Chen Gong's eyes widened and he also closed his mouth.

Shi Xin couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to name Zhuge Liang to speak. Now that Chen Gong has spoken, Zhuge Liang is no longer clumsy, and arches his hand: "Gongtai is right, we should start with Cao Cao." The lord can think about it quietly, if we Qingzhou is really captured by them, who will benefit the most, and who should be the most afraid next?"

"Yuan Shao is powerful, and he should have more territory than Cao Cao, and he has benefited the most. The two families are divided into Qingzhou, and the bordering places are larger and wider. Sima Yi has the emperor in hand, and no one dares to take the lead in moving him, so Yuan Shao's next target must be Cao Cao. Cao Cao has Liu Bei in the south, Sima in the west, and Yuan Shao in the northeast. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "What the lord said is extremely true. What we can think of, Cao Cao can also think of, and Yuan Shao has the assistance of Tian Feng, so he can naturally think of it. Therefore, their coalition is not stable and must be watching out for each other. They didn't dare to act alone, they were afraid that the other party would stab them in the back, so they formed such a seemingly inseparable alliance. The lord only needs to send a sharp lobbyist to Cao Ying, and he will reap the rewards. ”

Shi Xin agreed, then frowned again, "Who should I send?"

Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said: "Liang is willing to go." ”

Shi Xin hurriedly grabbed Zhuge Liang's hand and exclaimed, "No! Kong Ming, as a military advisor, is my left arm and right arm." Our army needs your help all the time, so how can we let you put your life at risk and go to the enemy camp to be a lobbyist? I would rather fight the other side than agree. ”

Zhuge Liang saw Shi Xin's sincere feelings, his heart was moved, and he said movingly: "Thank you for your love." However, if you have a bright mind, you will definitely be fine. Even if Cao Cao wanted to keep me, it would not be so easy. ”

Shi Xin shook his head vigorously, saying that he didn't agree with anything. Zhuge Liang had no choice but to turn to Jia Xu and Chen Gong for help.

Jia Xu closed his eyes and thought about it, and it was difficult to make a choice for a while. If you want to say that there are people in the world who he can't guess, Cao Cao is one.

Chen Gong, who didn't want to be late, reacted the fastest, and said while thinking: "According to the opinion of his subordinates...... Kong Ming's plan may work, you can give it a try. ”

"Gongtai, even you say that?" Shi Xin exclaimed again, Chen Gong, who had always been calm and old-fashioned, actually agreed with this risky approach.

"Of course, Cao Cao is a notoriously traitorous male, and it is not easy to guess his mind. Every time I think of him, I unconsciously feel a deep hatred in my heart, which I can't get away with for a long time, as if I were a natural enemy. But somehow, this time I had a gut feeling that he was hesitating at the moment, and that he wanted to form an alliance with us. Chen Gong shook his head and smiled bitterly, but his eyes became brighter and brighter, "I've never been so sure." ”

Shi Xin suddenly woke up, Chen Gong has an exclusive talent "Cao Cao who is jealous of evil", due to the relationship in his previous life, Chen Gong naturally dislikes Cao Cao, and every time he plays against him, maybe his intuition is the most objective.

At this time, Jia Xu also added: "Kong Ming is also an eighth-rank pulse master now, and the two armies are not killed, I believe Cao Cao still has that bearing." Therefore, Kong Ming is at least eighty percent sure that he can get out of this line, and whether he can convince Cao Cao depends on Kong Ming's eloquence. ”

Zhuge Liang had already shook the feather fan and said with a smile: "My eloquence has always been good, hehe." ”

Shi Xin remembered that Zhuge Liang had an ordinary talent of "eloquence", and at a glance, his attributes had risen to 150, the grandmaster level. That at least gave Shi Xin some confidence.

Since everyone agreed, he was finally convinced, and before Zhuge Liang left, he asked if he needed to bring Zhao Yun and Zhou Tai.

Zhuge Liang smiled confidently: "I'm enough alone, listen to my good news!" As soon as the horses were driven, they were gone.

Shi Xin supervised the soldiers and horses, led the army to look at Jinan, and did not show it for the time being.

Zhuge Liang hurried up, day and night, and soon arrived in Jinan. First, find the brother of the Eagle Department and ask about the enemy's situation.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao camped separately, two miles apart, and they were still stationed in Changqing. Originally, they wanted to raid Jinan, but Xu Rong's fortifications were well done, and they were obviously prepared. Cao Yuan and Yuan both had their own selfish intentions, and both wanted the other party to consume first, so no one moved, and set up camp steadily, just waiting for Shi Xin's army to come.

Since the enemy was not in a hurry, Zhuge Liang also became leisurely, first found an inn to sleep, bathed and changed clothes, and recuperated enough before leaving for Cao Ying.

In order not to alarm Yuan Jun, he chose to arrive at the right time. Tonight is starry and the temperature in early spring is still a little cold, but it is particularly exciting.

Zhuge Liang looked up at the sky and pinched his fingers, "In the purple micro wall, the five stars of the North Pole are dim, indicating the weakness of the royal family. The stars on the left and right sides of Ziwei are shining, even stronger than the North Star, and they should be the auxiliary ministers of the princes and Sima Yi's camp. And the most noteworthy is the Taizun Star, which is dazzling and has a tendency to enter the palace. Taizun Xing refers to the emperor's relatives and relatives, and there is only one lord who thinks about it. ”

He suddenly smiled, "As a subordinate of the lord, this trip will definitely be good." ”

This is Zhuge Liang's habit, watching the sky at night, speculating on yin and yang, and figuring out the way of heaven. I don't see how he sees the road, he walks on the seven stars under his feet, moving forward quickly, like a leisurely walk in the dark, and even the wild flowers and weeds can't step on half of it.

It only took half an hour for him to come outside Cao's camp.

"Annoying, Shangguan informed Cao Gong that a distinguished guest was visiting. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled in confusion, called himself a "distinguished guest", and said hello to the camp guards.

He was already handsome, but after cleaning up, he was more personable and dazzling, and he had cultivated an undoubted majesty in a high position for a long time, so that the guard unconsciously had a feeling of self-shame, and asked politely: "I don't know the name of the gentleman, so I can report it to the lord." ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, smiled and shook his head, "Just go inside and report, Cao Gong will know as soon as he hears it." ”

If it was in normal times, the doorman would not bother to pay attention to him. But somehow, under the gaze of this man, his heart became swaying, and he only felt in a daze that it was good to believe in him, and walked into the barracks.

Cao Cao was raising the account.

Under him, Guo Jia, Xun You, Yang Xiu, Xiahou Brothers, Cao Ren, Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, Xu Chu sat down, which can be described as elite. In addition, there were two people sitting at the back of the generals, who turned out to be Cao Cao's sons, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi.

And Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Yu Ban Le Jin and the other four stayed in Yuzhou to watch out for Liu Bei.

Seeing that there were many talents under the account, Cao Cao was quite complacent. It was at this time that the guards reported that someone outside the camp had asked to see him.
