Zhao Yan suddenly sweated on his forehead, but he didn't expect that this thief was not easy to fool, he hurriedly said: "You can send a letter to Xu Du to present the prime minister, if the prime minister adopts it, the general will soar; If the prime minister doesn't adopt it, the general has no loss, so why not? ”

Qin Feng touched his chin and nodded: "You say so, it's right, then ask Zhao County Ling to write a letter of recommendation here!" ”

"Now?" Zhao Yan suddenly felt bad.

"Naturally, after writing the letter of recommendation, I asked this Li Zhuangshi to send it to Xu Du to Cao Cao, and also asked Zhao County Commander to stay here for a few more days, waiting for the envoy sent by the prime minister to send the official document and official seal of the imperial court! Come on, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are waiting! ”

As Qin Feng shouted, a small official immediately sent the four treasures of the study.

Qin Feng doesn't know much about Zhao Yan, but he still remembers some of the memories he brought from his previous life, Zhao Yan was later in the Wei State as the Great Si Nong, Hussar General, Sikong, is one of the four famous men of Yingchuan in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the other three are Chen Qun, Du Xi, and Xin Bi.

After the older generation of Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, and Jia Xu hiccuped, they were the ones who pointed out the country on the political stage of Wei, and these people also had nicknames after death, and their honor after death was no less than Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia and others, but their reputation in history was slightly inferior.

Zhao Yan knew that he was going to be detained and placed under house arrest as a hostage, and he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, this thing had not been done yet, but he didn't expect to put himself in prison.

Helpless, he could only write a letter of recommendation.

When he finished writing, Yang Hong suddenly proposed: "Zhao County Order, I don't know if I can let you look at it next?" ”

Zhao Yan presented it with both hands: "Please also ask Mr. to straighten the axe!" ”

Yang Hong took it and watched it, and couldn't help but praise after reading it: "Zhao County's order is good and beautiful, good words!" ”

Then Zhao Yan handed over the packed letter to Li Tong, "I also ask Brother Li to go to Xu Du to face the prime minister, and I am here to wait for Brother Li's good news!" ”

Faced with this situation, Li Tong also had no way, if his identity was discovered by Qin Feng and others, I was afraid that both of them would be trapped here!

"Rest assured, the county will personally hand over the letter to the prime minister!"

While Qin Feng was unremittingly practicing martial arts, practicing archery and arrows, and training soldiers and horses, Yuan Li also quickly rushed back to Pingyu City.

In the hall of Pingyu County, Liu Bei was checking the roster records of recruiting troops and horses in the city in the past two days, and the situation was not optimistic, and it took two days to recruit 200 people, which made him very disappointed.

"Lord, Yuan Li is here!" Jian Yong hurriedly walked in and handed over his hand.

Liu Bei raised his head and hurriedly said, "Please!" ”

Yuan Li was quickly invited in, and after greeting Liu Bei, he was invited to the side to take a seat.

"I don't know what happened when Duke Yuan went to Xincai to see Qin Feng, is he willing to send troops to attack Xu Du with us?" Liu Bei asked.

Yuan Li said: "General Qin is willing to send troops, but he must solve his worries first!" In Yang'an County, there is a team of about 5,000 people deployed by Cao Cao, and the leader of the troops is Li Tong, the commander of Yang'an, who was named General Pi and the Marquis of Meritorious Service by the imperial court. ”

"Oh?" Liu Bei's brows furrowed after hearing this, this is indeed a trouble.

Jian Yong said at this time: "I have heard of Li Tong, this person is quite talented in leading troops, he has 5,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, if he sticks to the city, even if we gather tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, we will be helpless!" ”

Liu Bei felt that he was thinking about things too simply, and Yuan Shao was also thinking about things too simply, and it was really not enough to rely on the little people in his hands to make big waves on the territory of Runan.

If you want to move Li Tong first, you must take Yang'an City as quickly as possible, the longer the time drags on, the more time Cao Cao will have enough time to deploy troops, but how can you solve Li Tong in the fastest time? His 5,000 men are not made of paper!

It seems like a dead end ahead, and there is no way out!

Liu Bei thought for a while and said to Yuan Li: "Yuan Gong, I have to think about this matter, and we will discuss it tomorrow, how about it?" ”

Yuan Li didn't urge, this matter is indeed not a trivial matter, it needs to be considered, he immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll come back tomorrow!" ”

As soon as Yuan Li left, Liu Bei began to discuss with Jian Yong.

"Xianhe, how do you see the current situation?"

Jian Yong pondered: "Lord, this trip is only afraid of not being able to do, I have few soldiers, and if I want to make a difference, I can't do it, so I can't do it, and I launch it rashly, not only can I not achieve my goal, but I will expose my intentions, so why don't I return to Hebei first and then make plans!" ”

Liu Bei couldn't help but think of his two sworn brothers, and sighed: "But with one of Yun Chang and Yide here, we won't be helpless, and I don't know where the two of them are now, whether they are still alive!" ”

Jian Yong knew that talking more would only increase his sadness, so he could only comfort: "The lord and rest assured, the two generals of Guan Zhang are brave and brave, and the three brothers of the lord will meet each other!" ”

At this time, Liu Bei had a whim, "Xianhe, I want to go and see Qin Wuyi, what do you think?" ”

Jian Yong knew that Liu Bei's old mistake had been made again, and now that this lord was really unavailable, he wanted to use the old way to see if he could accept Qin Feng for his own use.

He hurriedly said, "The lord can't! ”

"Why?" Liu Bei asked.

Jian Yong reminded: "Don't forget, the lord has a grudge against Qin Feng, this Qin Wuyi is Zhang Min's general, the lord still remembers the big battle between our army and Zhang Min when he fought against Yuan Shu, they only escaped with more than 1,000 people, how did the lord know that Qin Feng didn't care about the enemy's hatred that day?" If the lord rushes to go, the consequences are unpredictable! ”

"This ······" Liu Bei was in a dilemma.

After thinking about it, Liu Bei finally decided to adopt Jian Yong's suggestion, and asked Liu Pi and Gong to give up Pingyu City, hide in the mountains and forests with their subordinates, and come back to meet when the time is ripe in the future.

The next day, Liu Bei and Jian Yong ignored Yuan Li's retention, and Liu Pi escorted back to Hebei with more than 100 men and horses, and the remaining more than 3,000 minions were led by Gong Du to leave Pingyu and hide in the nearby mountains and forests.

Xudu, Sikong House.

Cao Cao looked at Li Tong who came to deliver the letter, and was quite displeased, "If you come to deliver the letter, who will lead the five thousand men and horses in Yang'an City?" If Jingzhou Liu Biaoxing soldiers come to attack, what should it be? Have you ever thought about it? ”

Li Tong hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "Cai Taishou is now in Yang'an, I have handed over the affairs of soldiers and horses to Cai Taishou before I came, please rest assured!" ”

Cao Cao opened Zhao Yan's letter and read it carefully, he got up and thought about it with his hands behind his back, stopped and looked back and asked, "You have seen Qin Feng, how is this person?" ”

Li Tong said: "This person is extremely strong, quite talented, the people under the rule of life are peaceful, the last general in Xincai a few days, found that his people are Chinese to govern the army and train soldiers, and the sergeants under his command and the people have not committed any crimes!" ”

"How does it compare to you?" Cao Cao asked again.

Li Tong said truthfully: "The end is better than more!" ”

Cao Cao thought for a moment and said, "You will return to the pavilion to rest first, I have my own plans!" ”
