A few days ago, Gao Mi and Cheng Gongying said to Liyi: "According to the scouts, recently, there have been repeated thieves in Beihai counties, and the number of them is more or less, robbing the people of the villages, and the counties have nothing to do!" ”

After hearing this, Lu Yi frowned slightly, and said puzzledly: "Although Beihai is not peaceful, I have never heard of so many thieves, could it be because of the deserters who defeated Tian Kai last time?" ”

Cheng Gongying shook his head and replied: "There have been thieves in several counties one after another, and the number of people is not small, and it is roughly estimated that there are thousands of people, and it seems that this number is definitely not a deserter!" ”

After hearing this, Lu Yi nodded in agreement, and asked Cheng Gongying, "What does my brother think?" ”

Cheng Gongying thought for a moment and replied: "This matter is strange, I am afraid that someone did it on purpose, as for the purpose, I am afraid that it is the general!" ”

Koji Yi didn't care, even if he really came for himself, how much storm could he make, so he replied: "Now that I have a heavy army, am I afraid of thousands of thieves?" ”

Cheng Gongying saw that Lu Yi was unimpressed, and frowned slightly and said, "Why doesn't the general understand?" ”

After hearing this, Lu Yi was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand what Cheng Gongying meant, and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Cheng Gongying slowly explained: "Today, the general is about to plan Xuzhou, and all parties are preparing one after another, like an arrow on the string, but at this time, there are unknown thieves in Beihai who are in chaos, isn't it strange?"

If we let it go, wait for the general to lead troops to fight Cao Cao's enemy, and the thieves will kill from the rear, how can our army have a reason to win?

There are thousands of thieves, and their identities are unknown, which is not a trivial matter, and it is necessary to guard against it! ”

After hearing this, Koji Yi suddenly realized, everything has been going well recently, and he is indeed a little carried away, so that he relaxed his vigilance, fortunately Cheng Gongying reminded him in time, otherwise he may cause a catastrophe!

As soon as Lu Yi thought of this, he hurriedly bowed to Cheng Gongying and said: "Get carried away, if it weren't for my brother, I would make a big mistake, and I would be ashamed!" ”

Cheng Gongying saw that Lu Yi understood, nodded with a smile, and replied: "This is human nature, correct it immediately, but remember not to do it again!" ”

Lu Yi was preached by Cheng Gongying, and he was not angry at all, and asked, "Has my brother ever guessed the identity of the thief?" ”

Cheng Gongying replied slowly: "Although I don't know who it is, I can guess it!"

Now the rise of the general has caused all parties to be jealous, but they are in high density, except for Xuzhou, they are not neighbors, and the most unlikely of them is Xuzhou.

Tao Fujun is similar to Kong Beihai, both are the lords of the city, and they have no ambitions, so they are excluded.

Cao Cao was based in Yanzhou and looked at Xuzhou, and he must have guessed that the general was also interested in Xuzhou, and it was possible to send people to Beihai to secretly cause trouble and think that it would be contained.

However, this possibility is very small, after all, thousands of men and horses are not a small number, the slightest carelessness will be wiped out, although Cao Cao fought with the Black Mountain bandits, and captured a large number of prisoners, but he did not dare to take this risk and lose his strength!

I think about it, the most likely person is Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao secretly contacted Kong Rong before, persuaded him to attack Gaomi, was rejected by Kong Rong, and must not die in his heart, if the expectation is good, this thief is the person Yuan Shao secretly contacted, and use the trouble in the North Sea to prevent the general from growing! ”

After listening to this, he pondered for a long time, and asked, "Why is my brother sure that this thief is Yuan Shao's contact, not Cao Caoye?" ”

Cheng Gongying smiled: "Simple, prestige!"

Cao Cao's strength increased greatly because of his occupation of Yanzhou, but his fame was still limited, and Yuan Shao was different, and his reputation as the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family was extremely loud, and everyone knew it.

The general imagined that even after the loss of Yecheng, there were thieves who took the initiative to protect his family, and his reputation can be seen.

That's why I said that this thief must be Yuan Shao's contact, not Cao Cao! ”

After hearing this, Lu Yi stroked his palms and smiled and said: "My brother's thoughtfulness is really terrifying, I have my brother's help, why worry about big things!" ”

Koji Yi was laughing, Koji Yan walked in quickly, and said: "General Yu, scout urgent report, a large number of thieves were found near Yan Pingshou, the number of people is no less than 5,000, and they are heading to the drama county!" ”

After hearing this, Lu Yi looked at Cheng Gongying and said, "Doesn't the thief want to attack Beihaihu?" ”

Cheng Gongying's eyes narrowed slightly, and he replied: "The thief is quite scheming, he knows that there are few soldiers in the county, and Kong Rong is not good at military affairs.

When our army leaves, it will come back again, and the momentum of containment will be achieved! ”

Lu Yi was shocked after hearing this, now is the critical moment to seize Xuzhou, if he is contained here, even if he only contains a part of the troops, the impact on himself will be huge, after all, the next enemy to face is Cao Cao, there is no distraction.

Ko Yi hurriedly asked, "Brother does he have a way to crack it?" ”

Cheng Gongying smiled when he heard this, and said confidently: "I expect that in order to grasp the general's movements, the thieves will send scouts to keep an eye on Gaomi, and once the troops are raised, they will report immediately, and then withdraw quickly!"

Before watching the thieves, the terrain was a disaster, except for Gaomi, only Jiaoxian County was not damaged, and I expected that the thieves' nest should be in Jiaoxian.

At that time, our army came out from the south, and the thieves would flee eastward, pass through Jimo, and return with strong forces.

However, although the thief's calculation is good, there are omissions, Guangxian is very close to the drama county, and Xu Shengzheng led 3,000 troops to guard Guangxian.

The general can secretly send someone to order Xu Sheng, ordering him to lead 2,000 troops between Juxian and Jimo, wait for the enemy soldiers to retreat, and suddenly kill, but they can be captured in a battle! ”

After hearing this, Koji slapped his thigh and praised: "Brother's plan is unpredictable, it can be said that it is foolproof, and the thief will die!" ”

After speaking, Lu Yi immediately put up a letter in a hurry, and then handed it over to Lu Yan, ordering him to send someone to send it to Xu Sheng secretly.

……

Outside the city of Xixian County, Guan Cheng sat in the tent with a group of henchmen, only to hear the henchmen say: "Chenggong, the defenders of Xiguan County are not abundant, and there is fear, why not attack the city directly?" ”

Guan Cheng changed his arrogance in the city before, and replied: "Our trip is mainly to contain Kojiyi, as for whether we can break through the drama county, it doesn't matter!"

The grain given by Yuan Shao has arrived, and he has looted from various counties before, so he does not have to worry about his burden, and he should preserve his strength and do not have to really attack.

The siege of the city hurts the strength the most, you think that if my strength is greatly damaged, Yuan Shao will still pay attention to it?

Hmph, these princes have the most unbearable faces, they have honey and belly swords, they call them brothers and sisters when they are useful, and stab them in the back when they are useless, and do everything they can! ”

After hearing this, the henchman looked puzzled and asked, "In this case, why did Chenggong answer Yuan Shaoye?" ”

"Alas!" Guan Cheng sighed and replied: "You follow me, cut your liver and drain your gall, how can I not think about your future generations?"

In today's troubled times, we can still make a living by looting and be at ease, but there will be a time in the troubled times, and at that time, everyone will inevitably shout and kill in our capacity, and it will affect our children and grandchildren, which is not advisable!

That's why I chose to attach myself to Yuan Shao, gambling that he could achieve great things, correct my identity, and benefit future generations! ”

After hearing this, all the henchmen were solemn, and they stood up and bowed: "We will swear allegiance to the public, if we violate this oath, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Guan Cheng laughed out loud after listening to it!
