Xun Yu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered something,

"You mean, the master who hides in the shadows?"

"Not bad!"

Guo Jia nodded heavily.

"But the existence of this person is just our speculation. What if we guessed wrong? ”

Xi Zhicai couldn't help but question.

"Puyang and Dongjun are the foundation of the lord, how could he take such a risk?"

Guo Jia smiled confidently,

"This time is a good opportunity to prove whether our guess is correct!"

He looked at Xun Yu on the side,

"Brother Wen Ruo, this time I went to conquer the Black Mountain thieves, and Zhicai and I will go out with the lord. You stayed in Puyang, just taking this opportunity to find that person! ”

"Good!"

Xun Yu nodded.

……

After Cao Cao led the army to the battle, whether it was in the county town or the Taishou Mansion, it seemed empty.

Taishou Mansion, lobby.

Dian Wei, who is now in charge of the affairs of the whole city, carefully sits on the main seat.

At this time, Yang Ling walked in with Zhao Yun in a leisurely manner.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but tease,

"My subordinates have seen General Dian Wei!"

Zhao Yun behind him also held back a smile and saluted with a straight face.

As soon as Dian Wei looked up, he saw that it was his two sworn brothers, so he hurriedly stood up and stepped forward with a smirk.

"Big brother, third brother, aren't you laughing at me?"

"Where did we laugh at you?"

Yang Ling is serious and authentic,

"Now that you are the highest governor in the city, of course we will salute you."

"You're going too far, big brother! Before the lord left, he clearly said, let me listen to your orders! ”

Dian Wei said, and glanced at Zhao Yun.

The two of them worked together to put Yang Ling on the hall and sit down.

"Alright, alright, I'm not going to mess with you."

Yang Ling waved his hand and said seriously,

"I'm here today to give you some orders."

After all, it's troublesome.

But don't joke about defending the city.

Yang Ling hooked his hand and whispered in his ear.

Dian Wei nodded again and again.

"Remember? Second brother. ”

"Don't worry, big brother, everything is wrapped up in me, I will definitely do what you tell me."

Dian Wei patted his chest and said.

"That's good, as long as you follow my method, it will not be difficult to keep Puyang."

Yang Ling said with a smile.

While the three of them were talking, suddenly a subordinate walked into the lobby and said respectfully,

"General Qiyu, Mr. Wen Ruo is waiting outside the door."

Dian Wei was stunned and looked at Yang Ling.

Yang Ling bowed slightly.

"Quickly invite Mr. Wenruo in."

"Whoa."

The servant walked away quickly.

"Then we'll go first. Wait to be smarter, and you will say that you leaked in front of Xun Yu. ”

Yang Ling admonished.

"Big brother, don't worry!"

Dian Wei nodded heavily.

Only then did Yang Ling put his mind at ease and left with Zhao Yun.

Before the two of them left the Taishou Mansion, they happened to meet Xun Yu.

In order to avoid Xun Yu's suspicions, Yang Ling stopped and took the initiative to salute him.

"I've seen Juncheng!"

Xun Yu returned the salute, and was just about to take a step to leave, when suddenly he seemed to remember something, and turned his head,

"What's your name?"

"Back to Juncheng, in Xia Yangling."

Yang Ling said calmly, but he muttered in his heart, did he have any place to show his feet?

Actually, there's nothing wrong with him.

It's just that after Xun Yu talked to Guo Jia, anyone who looked at him along the way felt that it might be the master Guo Jia said.

He saw that Yang Ling was a little familiar, so he couldn't help but call him down and ask.

"Oh, it turned out to be you, I have the impression that you are the sworn brother of General Dian Wei, and you are responsible for transporting grain and grass."

Xun Yu patted his head and remembered Yang Ling's origin.

"Jun Cheng is really impressed."

Yang Ling said with a smile.

"Okay, it's okay, you can go back first."

Xun Yu nodded at him and continued to walk inside.

Yang Ling also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly took Zhao Yun to leave the Taishou Mansion.

Xun Yu came to the lobby, and Dian Wei in the hall arched his hand,

"I've seen the general!"

"Jun Cheng is polite."

Dian Wei hurriedly got up and said with a smile,

"I'm a general, but I'm just taking the place of the lord and temporarily guarding Puyang."

"The lord has handed over such an important responsibility to the general, and the general can't be sloppy."

Xun Yu said seriously.

"I know that."

"The Black Mountain thieves are menacing, I don't know if the general has any countermeasures?"

"Naturally, there are countermeasures, but they need the cooperation of the county."

"Although the general orders, I will do my best to cooperate!"

With Yang Ling's nudge, Dian Wei smiled confidently at the moment,

"Please help me recruit 4,000 people in the city, I need them to help defend the city."

"That's easy to say."

Xun Yu nodded in response.

"In addition, I also asked the county to help me collect the excrement of the people in the city."

Dian Wei said again.

"What?"

Xun Yu almost thought he had misheard.

In order to save troops, people are generally recruited to do some work such as transporting grain and grass and carrying the wounded.

Dian Wei asked Xun Yu to help him recruit 4,000 people, which was reasonable.

But to collect the excrement of the people in the city, Xun Yu can't understand it!

"What does the general want those things for?"

"I have my own tricks, so I don't have to worry about it, sir."

Dian Wei still remembered Yang Ling's advice and smiled.

Seeing that he was still selling Guanzi, Xun Yu had to hold back the curiosity in his heart and nodded,

"Okay, everything is under the orders of the general!"

……

And so it went on for a few more days.

Xun Yu collected the excrement of the people in the city according to Dian Wei's instructions.

The storehouse, which had been empty, was filled with jars of excrement.

It was so stinky that Xun Yu was almost stunned.

He hurriedly ordered someone to close the door, and he was a little dissatisfied with Dian Wei in his heart.

He was a scribe and did such a thing himself!

Xun Yu took a deep breath and asked the entourage on the side,

"What are you doing these days?"

"Back to the county, the army under General Dian surrounded the four gates of the county seat, and no one was allowed to approach."

"Huh? What about the four thousand people? ”

"They were also transferred to the four gates."

What is this Dian Wei going to do?

Xun Yu's brows furrowed.

He is not in the mood to find out the so-called master at all.

He was more worried about whether Puyang could withstand the attack of the Black Mountain thieves.

Just as Xun Yu was hesitating whether to see Dian Wei, suddenly a herald rode a horse and galloped from a distance.

After coming to Xun Yu, the herald turned over and dismounted, and said in a deep voice,

"Qiqi Juncheng, the army of Black Mountain thieves has approached ten miles outside the city, General Dian specially ordered me to come and invite you over!"

Xun Yu's heart sank.

I didn't expect this black mountain thief to come so quickly!

He didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said,

"I'll go over now!"

He beckoned his retinue to bring a horse and follow the herald towards the city gates!
