On this day, Tiger Roar City was very good, because in addition to the army of Qian, the soldiers and horses of Wu also rushed to Tiger Roaring City.

The leader of the troops was not someone else, it was Zhao Zhan, the old king of Huainan in the former Xia Kingdom.

In order to wash the dust for Zhao Zhan, Ye Zhichu specially held a banquet in the main hall of Tiger Roaring City.

There were not many people in the banquet, except for Ye Zhichu and Sun Yixiao, only Zhao Zhan was left.

In the hall, the three of them drank a cup of each other, and Ye Zhichu was the first to break the silence and said:

"Prince Zhao has come all the way, and it is really hard along the way, no, this Tiger Roaring City is barren, and he can only entertain the prince with these vulgar things, and I hope the prince will forgive me."

Looking at the rich meat and wine on the wine table, Zhao Zhan waved his hand lightly and said: "Marshal Ye is polite, we are all people in the army, and we don't pay attention to those who enjoy anything, and being able to have these things already shows that the marshal attaches great importance to the soldiers and horses of my Wu State." ”

Ye Zhichu smiled slightly, and suddenly said meaningfully: "Didn't I hear that your Wu General Leng Changfeng would personally preside over this operation?" How? Could it be that my message was wrong this time? ”

Zhao Zhan shook his head and said: "The marshal is really well-informed, and I admit that what the marshal said is not wrong, this operation, General Leng will indeed personally guide this operation, but at the moment, General Leng has something to delay, so I was specially ordered to come to Qianguo instead of the general." ”

"It's not a coincidence."

Looking at Zhao Zhan's guilty look, Ye Zhichu and Sun Yixiao glanced at each other, and a hint of banter flashed in their eyes.

Slowly putting down the wine glass, Ye Zhichu chuckled and said: "This operation is the first cooperation between my Qian State and Wu State, I am very curious, what can be more important than this matter, Sheng Sheng is to delay General Leng Changfeng." ”

Zhao Zhan was stunned, feeling the scrutinizing gazes of Sun Yixiao and Ye Zhichu, and suddenly laughed and said:

"The marshal said with a smile, I said that I was a prince in Wu State, and if I didn't sound good, I was a general, a dog who guarded the door for Wu State, what General Leng Changfeng was going to do, what he was going to do, or what he was doing, how could I be clear?"

"Hahahaha!" Hearing this, Sun Yixiao and Ye Zhichu laughed together.

Sun Yixiao raised his glass and shook his head and said, "Brother Zhao Zhan, you are really modest, who doesn't know, Brother Zhao Zhan is one of the six famous generals in the world." You and me, I remember meeting on the battlefield. ”

"It's just that that time you are still the general of the Xia Kingdom, and I am the general of the Qian Kingdom, and we will each be our own masters. But this time, although our camps are still different, we are still on the same side. ”

"Such fate, you and I should drink one!"

Zhao Zhan nodded heavily and said, "Brother Sun has said this, then we should indeed drink one!" ”

The hall was in full swing, and suddenly a guard walked into the main hall quickly and bowed:

"Marshal Qiyu, General Qiyu, General Xuntuo are asking to see you outside!"

"Shuntuo?" Ye Zhichu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "What is he doing here, don't you know that I am meeting with distinguished guests?" ”

The guard shook his head and said, "I don't know, but ...... General Xun Tuo also brought a person with him on this trip. ”

"Who?"

Glancing at Zhao Zhan with some scruples, the guard walked quickly to Ye Zhichu and muttered in his ear.

After a while, Ye Zhichu's face instantly became much more gloomy.

"He's it?"

After pondering for a moment, Ye Zhichu said: "Since he has found Xun Tuo, let me see what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd, you go and give an order, and let Xun Tuo bring him to see me." ”

"Yes!" The guards bowed and bowed, not leaving.

In the hall, Zhao Zhan took a deep look at the guards who bowed and left, got up and arched his hand: "If the marshal still has something to deal with, then the king will retire first." ”

"No, no, no!" Ye Zhichu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The prince doesn't have to see outside, this matter is a long story, but there is nothing unpleasant, if the prince is not afraid of watching the excitement, you might as well staff for me?" ”

Zhao Zhan was slightly stunned, then nodded with a smile and said, "In this way, then I'm welcome." ”

After a short time, Xun Tuo walked into the main hall with a man.

The man is not an outsider, it is Cao Chi, who has sought cooperation with Ye Zhichu two days ago.

Seeing Zhao Zhan and Sun Yi in the hall, Xun Tuo arched his hand slightly and said:

"Marshal, general, the last general does not know that there are distinguished guests today, and if he is offended, he hopes that the marshal will be guilty."

Ye Zhichu smiled slightly, ignored Xun Tuo, who bowed his hand, but looked at Cao Chi on the side and said, "His Royal Highness King Zhen'an, let's meet again." ”

Cao Chi, who heard this, smiled dumbly, waved his hand and said: "Don't make fun of me, the marshal doesn't make fun of me, Cao Chi is a lost dog, a defeated general under Bai Qi, and he can be called a prince, besides, I am now General Xun Tuo's staff." ”

"Oh? And this kind of thing? Ye Zhichu showed a look of surprise on his face, and turned his head to look coldly at Xun Tuo, who was still in an arched posture.

Feeling the coldness on Ye Zhichu's body, Xun Tuo couldn't help but press his body lower.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Xun Tuo plucked up the courage to say: "The marshal also knows that I, Xun Tuo, is a rough man, but this battle is very important, and I have to be cautious, so I invited Cao Chi to be my staff!" I ......"

"That's it!" Waving his hand to interrupt Xun Tuo's words, Ye Zhichu raised his head and looked at Cao Chi with a smile and said, "I think that the prince Cao Chi was also the famous prince of Wei State, and with him by your side, I am naturally more relieved." Now that you have decided to let the prince be your staff, it can be regarded as your blessing. ”

Hearing this, Xun Tuo's heart felt like a heavy stone had fallen, and he nodded again and again: "Thank you Marshal, thank you Marshal." ”

Cao Chi on the side also lightly arched his hand towards Ye Zhichu.

Ye Zhichu smiled back, and then waved his hand and said: "I already know about this matter, you can go down first, I still have some important things to discuss with Lord Zhao." ”

"Yes!" The two of them walked away.

It wasn't until the two of them walked away that Zhao Zhan looked at Ye Zhichu on the main seat and said, "Marshal, this is ......"

Sun Yixiao on the side also gave Ye Zhichu a puzzled look, and he didn't know about this matter either.

Ye Zhichu shook his head when he heard this: "Don't hide it from the two of you, in fact, just before Cao Chi found Shang Xuntuo, Cao Chi had asked me for cooperation. It's just that I didn't agree at the time. ”

On the side, Sun Yixiao's eyes narrowed slightly: "In the fifteenth year of Tianhong, my Qianguo once launched an attack on Wei, I remember, that time Wei was in charge of the army, it was this Cao Chi, right?" ”

Ye Zhichu nodded and said: "The general has a good memory, this person is not an outsider, he is the younger brother of the former emperor of Wei, and he is also the commander of the Wei State in the fifteenth year of Tianhong." ”

"Originally, Cao Chi defeated the army of our Qianguo and made great military achievements, just when everyone thought that the former emperor of Wei would make Cao Chi the crown prince, but it was unexpectedly reported that Cao Chi was appointed to be the king of Zhen'an and stationed at the border."

"Later, the first emperor of Wei died of illness and was succeeded by Cao Xun."

"But a nerd Cao Xun, where can he suppress Bai Qi, who has made great achievements, as expected, Bai Qi put Cao Xun under house arrest, and the imperial power of Wei has declined."

"I learned that Cao Chi led his troops into Beijing at this time, intending to inherit the canon, but how could he have a few soldiers and few generals, and he was not Bai Qi's opponent at all."

"In the first battle of Kyoto, Cao Chi did not know whether he was alive or dead."

"I don't know how he did it, he actually appeared in the military camp of my Qianguo today, and it was really a bit of a trick."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhan shook his head slightly and said: "Although I don't know much about this Cao Chi, I can hear from the marshal's narration that this person is not simple, in my opinion, he is afraid that it will be profitable for him to take refuge in the Qianguo." ”

"To put it mildly, I'm afraid that even today's meeting was planned by this Prince Cao Chi."

Sun Yixiao on the side also nodded and agreed: "I used to fight with this Cao Chi at the beginning, this son has a tough heart, and the city is very deep, he was originally a member of the royal family of Wei State, and now he is cooperating with my Qianguo, I am worried that he has ulterior motives." ”

Ye Zhichu smiled slightly when he heard this: "I know the scruples of the two of you in my heart, so I didn't agree to join forces with him at the beginning." ”

"However, now that he is still in the shadows and has found Shang Xuntuo, I am a little curious about what purpose this Cao Chi is hiding. simply, let him go with the army. Besides, people like this don't come under our own noses, and I don't feel at ease. ”

……

Yong'an Palace.

Linghu Chu quietly listened to the news from the front, and his face was a little heavy.

"General, just today, our spies just heard that the army of Wu State has also arrived in Tiger Roar City, and now there are at least 200,000 troops stationed in Tiger Roar City."

"Since the beginning of the prince's Northern Expedition, most of my main forces in Yongan have been transferred, and now Yongan only has 100,000 soldiers."

"If the 200,000 army is attacking the city with all its might, I am afraid that Yong'an will be in danger."

"The last general is thinking, should I write a letter to the prince and ask him to send troops back to help?"

Hearing this, Ling Hu Chu's eyes shrank slightly, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No!" ”

"The prince is in full swing at the moment, and he can take down Bai Qi in one go. At this juncture, remember not to disturb the prince. ”

The soldier said in a deep voice: "Then what should we do now?" ”

Standing up, Ling Hu Chu paced back and forth, a look of contemplation on his face.

After a long time, Ling Hu Chu spoke up: "Order, go down, strengthen the city wall overnight, and double the guards on the white wall." ”

"In a word, no matter when he Wu and Guizhou come to attack, we must defend Yong'an."

"Defending Yong'an is the greatest help to the prince, as long as the prince calms down and Bai Qi leads the army back to help, then we will win."

"Yes!" The guard bowed and walked away.

Knowing that the guards were going away, Ling Hu Chu beckoned to the old man named Xu Lao, and said with a heavy face:

"Old Xu, it was inconvenient for me to say that the soldiers were in the past, but now, in my name, you immediately lead some henchmen who originally followed me to send the young lady back to Manshenzhou, and once you hear the news of the loss of Yong'an, you will send the young lady to the prince."

Hearing this, Xu Lao said with a worried look on his face: "Then you ......"

Waving his hand, Ling Hu Chu said in a deep voice: "Just do it!" ”

"......" let out a long sigh, and Xu Lao walked out of the hall!

Some people died, but not completely......
