Taishou Mansion, lobby.

Oil lamps were lit on the walls of the wall lamps, and the strategists and civil servants chatted and drank at the same time.

Yang Hong, Yan Xiang, Xu Shu and others are all talking and laughing, Qin Feng sits on the main seat and stirs up topics from time to time, only Jia Xu is sullen, just because his identity is a little embarrassing.

Although Yang Hong and Yan Xiang were also captured, they had already surrendered and had already recognized Qin Feng as the master in their subjective will, and their loyalty was the same, but Jia Xu's situation was different, he did not now express his allegiance to Qin Feng, and Qin Feng did not express his intention to recruit and accept him.

Jia Xu thinks that although his intelligence is not one of the best today, he can definitely rank among the top few, just by virtue of these few times to defeat Cao Cao for Qin Feng, Qin Feng should take the initiative to recruit him, but Qin Feng didn't, did he forget, or did he do it on purpose?

Compared with ordinary captives, Jia Xu's treatment is undoubtedly much better, but he is neither an official under Qin Feng, nor a free man, and he is accompanied by a few battle-hardened armor soldiers all the time, in the final analysis, his identity is still a prisoner, just an unusual captive, a captive who can participate in military meetings, and must also make plans, otherwise, Qin Feng will not give him any good fruit to eat.

"Lord, lord, happy event, happy event!" Before the people arrived, Yan Xiang's voice came in from outside.

Qin Feng saw Yan Xiang walk in, and greeted with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, I have ordered someone to prepare a table for you, it's not too late to eat a glass of wine!" ”

"Thank you, my lord!"

After Yan Xiang saluted, he knelt down at an empty seat, drank a glass of wine, and said to Qin Feng and the others: "Lord, Liu Bei has agreed to send troops to Runan, but the specific details still need to be discussed by both sides!" ”

Qin Feng was very happy, picked up the wine glass and said to Yan Xiang: "Mr. Yan is really a success, come, drink another glass, everyone drink together!" ”

Everyone drank a cup together, and Qin Feng said to Yan Xiang again: "Mr. Yan, the matter of discussing with Liu Bei, Mr. has to continue to follow up on this matter, did he say where to discuss?" ”

Yan Xiang said: "Liu Bei mentioned it, and said that he asked the lord to send someone to Sui County for detailed discussion, and he will send a staff member to take charge of this matter!" ”

Yang Hong got up and said to Qin Feng: "Lord, Liu Bei's advisers are mainly Jian Yong, Sun Qian, and Mi Zhu, and they should be one of the three of them, or they should all be involved in this matter!" ”

Qin Feng nodded and said to Yan Xiang: "Since this is the case, please ask Mr. Yan and Liu Bei to go to Qixian County, and agree on the time to send troops as soon as possible, how the two sides will cooperate and support, how to deliver grain, grass and ordnance, and so on!" ”

"No!" Yan Xiang agreed.

Qin Feng asked the other strategists, "Do you have anything to add?" ”

None of the advisors said anything, and it seemed that they had nothing to add.

Qin Feng looked at Jia Xu, "Mr. Wenhe, don't you have anything to add?" ”

Jia Xu hesitated for a moment, but still stood up, saluted and said: "General, if you send someone to contact Yuan Shao first, let him send troops to attract Cao Jun's attention first, transfer Cao Jun to Hebei, and Liu Bei will send troops here, maybe it will be better!" ”

Qin Feng thought about it, Jia Xu's suggestion is beneficial, after Liu Bei sent troops, because Cao Cao's troops were all transferred to the north, and they could not be called back in a short time, Liu Bei had more time to attack Runan, prepare grain and grass materials, and recruit troops, but there was a problem in this.

"Mr. Wenhe, there is a leak in Yuan Shao's army, if Yuan Shao is allowed to send troops first, I am afraid that someone on Yuan Shao's side will leak the news, if Cao Cao gets the news in advance and learns that Yuan Shao is just playing tricks, I am afraid that it will be calculated, and our operation will fall short, right?"

Jia Xu said: "General, if Cao Cao doesn't pay attention to Yuan Shao's troops, or only uses a small number of troops to stick to the north, he can let Yuan Shao fake it, and he can also find out the inner ghosts around him by the way, but this matter is confidential, and the person who is sent can only be Yuan Shao alone, and he can't tell Yuan Shao about the general's overall plan, if he knows the general's overall plan, he won't be too willing to cooperate!" ”

When Qin Feng heard this, he felt that he couldn't tell Yuan Shao the whole plan, and could only tell him part of it, because Yuan Shao himself had a great prejudice against Liu Bei, and if he knew that the purpose of this military operation was to get Liu Bei to Runan, he was afraid that there would be extraneous branches.

Qin Feng admired Xiao Qiao's plan to get Liu Bei to Runan again, which not only resolved the conspiracy of Cao Cao and Liu Biao, but also avoided the friction and war that might occur between him and Liu Bei in the future, and after Liu Bei arrived in Runan, he put aside Liu Biao, the old man, Cao Cao was actually in a situation of embattlement, and several of the most powerful princes in the world who were hostile to Cao Cao surrounded him in the middle.

Yuan Shao in the north and east, Sun Quan in Jiangdong in the southeast, Liu Bei in the south, Qin Feng in the southwest, Ma Teng and the warlords in the northwest in the west, as long as someone can contact and organize these warlords, no matter how powerful Cao Cao is, he will be defeated, but this is very difficult, no one has the ability and prestige to unite these princes with different aspirations into a rope.

Even if there were, Cao Cao was not a dry eater, and he and his advisers would do everything they could to prevent such an alliance from being born, and even if it did, they would do everything in their power to divide, divide, and sow discord among the members of the alliance, and break up the alliance.

Qin Feng immediately sent Yan Xiang to Sui County to consult with Liu Bei and his advisers, and sent someone to call Zhong Du.

Zhong Du has been to Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao before, and he has been to Jingzhou several times, and he also has quite a wealth of experience in envoys, his talent is quick, and his eloquence is quite good, and it is even more rare that he has been painstakingly studying the art of vertical and horizontal in the past few months, and he has a lot of experience, and Qin Feng has high hopes for him.

"See the lord!"

Qin Feng got up and beckoned: "Mr. Zhong, come on, come on, sit down and talk!" ”

"Thank you, my lord!" Zhong Du saluted and sat down on the low side.

Qin Feng then told Zhong Du about the tasks and details of the envoy Yuan Shao, and finally emphasized: "Especially the last thing, you can only tell Yuan Shao alone, and you can't let others know!" In addition, you have to convince Yuan Shao that the purpose of letting him cooperate with the troops this time is that I will send troops straight to Xudu City, as long as he attracts the main force of Cao's army, my side will have the opportunity to raid Xudu and break the city! ”

"The subordinates understand what the lord means, go back and prepare, and leave for Yecheng within three days!"

A few days later, Zhong Du and his entourage disguised themselves as a merchant traveler and went north to Luoyang City, passed through the ruined Luoyang City, crossed the river from Mengjin into Hanoi, and then went up in the northeast direction, which lasted more than half a month before arriving in Yecheng.
