Chapter Eighty-Four: Zhang Miao: The Clown Is Actually Myself?
"If that's the case, then we have to guard against it!"
Listening to the news provided by Cheng Yu, Xun Yu's original worries vaguely seemed to be about to become a reality.
At present, there is no movement on the part of Zhang Miao and others, and they still have time.
When the three of them planned how to deal with the hidden dangers in Yanzhou.
At the same time, at this time, Chen Liunei.
Zhang Miao and Chen Gong had already received the situation of Cao's army in Xuzhou.
Within Zhang's house.
"Cao Mengde is really trapped in Xuzhou this time, and this is the time for us to plan Yanzhou!"
With a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Chen Gong was in an extremely good mood.
Zhang Miao, who was opposite, nodded, and his mood was also a little agitated.
If the plan succeeds, the entire Yanzhou will be under the control of him and Chen Gong at that time.
As for Lu Bu, it's just a pawn they used this time!
With the reputation of Lu Buqi, it can be regarded as being able to suppress those wealthy families in Yanzhou.
"When will that guy Lu Bu lead the troops?"
Zhang Miao raised his head and glanced at Chen Gong, he was somewhat impatient at this time.
Hearing this, Chen Gong was not in a hurry.
"No hurry!"
Chen Gong shook his head slightly: "Although the timing is good right now, Xun Yu, who stayed in Yanzhou, is not a simple character!" ”
"If I let Lu Bu lead the troops here this time, it will inevitably cause Xun Yu's jealousy."
"If it attracts Xun Yu's attention, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble for me and others to seize Yanzhou!"
For Xun Yu, Chen Gong has never underestimated.
The Xun family is not a simple family, and Xun Yu was famous in his early years.
Cao Cao was able to pacify Yanzhou so easily this time, although the role of Xi Yu in it was not small, but Xun Yu's role in it should not be underestimated.
If you really don't take Xun Yu seriously, I'm afraid it will cause even bigger problems.
"Xun Yu?"
Zhang Miao heard Chen Gong mention Xun Yu, and his brows wrinkled subconsciously.
"The people of the Xun clan really can't be underestimated!"
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but murmur, Zhang Miao raised his head and looked at Chen Gong in front of him.
Immediately, his eyes looked at the teacup in front of him with some contemplation.
"What are you going to do?"
Chen Gong narrowed his eyes and chuckled at the corners of his mouth.
"I think Xun Yu should be defenseless against you this time!"
Maybe because of his previous conflict with Cao Cao, Xun Yu will be wary of him, but he wants to rely on the relationship between Zhang Miao and Cao Cao.
Xun Yu shouldn't be able to guard against Zhang Miao.
"This time, Meng Zhuo can go to that Xun Wenruo to probe the wind!"
"Why don't you take the initiative to inform you that you plan to take Lu Bu, saying that you can persuade Lu Bu to help Yanzhou, and even help Cao Cao attack Xuzhou!"
"I expected that when I heard such a request, a fierce general like Lu Bu, Xun Yu would naturally not ignore it!"
"If you can get him to agree, then let Lu Bu lead the troops here, and you will be fine!"
Chen Gong chuckled.
In just an instant, he already had a plan in mind.
Ruoshui can really make Xun Yu let down his guard, so that Lu Bu can smoothly enter Yanzhou and even Juancheng.
At that time, as long as Lu Bu defects, the entire Yanzhou will change hands in an instant!
Even if Cao Cao led hundreds of thousands of troops back, it is difficult to change the fait accompli!
At that time, as long as he held on to the town, and Lu Bu was stationed, even Cao Cao would not help.
"That's a brilliant plan!"
Hearing what Chen Gong said, Zhang Miao couldn't help but nod secretly.
As Chen Gong said, if you can get Lu Bu to enter Yanzhou without much effort, and even win Xun Yu's trust.
When the time comes, it will be even easier to seize the whole of Yanzhou.
"According to what the public platform said, let's go and talk to Lu Bu, and I'll meet the Xun family talent for a while!"
……
Early April.
Since Xun Yu and Xi Yu saw Cheng Yu, the three of them followed closely and returned to Juancheng Governance Office together.
Cheng Yu was busy investigating the Yanzhou wealthy families who had been close to Chen Gong in recent days, and Xun Yu and Xi Yu were the same as usual.
After noticing that there was not much movement on Zhang Miao's side for the time being, Xun Yu sent a letter to Xiahoudun to garrison Puyang.
Xi Yu returned to the usual situation.
While continuing to arrange the training of the baggage camp, he also visited various places to check the current situation of spring ploughing!
After early spring, although the weather is good today, it is clear that this year's spring rain seems to be a little less than usual.
If you wait until the summer, I am afraid that there will be a great drought.
And if Xi Yu is not mistaken, at the beginning of the first year of Xingping, there will be a major drought in the entire Han Dynasty.
At that time, the entire north and the Guanzhong region will be affected.
Nowadays, a lot of waterwheels have been built between the acres of fields in Yanzhou, and there is no need to worry about irrigation for the time being.
However, if the rain continues to decrease in the spring, the summer season will cause the riverbed to bare and the river to dry up.
If it really gets to that point, even if there is a waterwheel, I am afraid that it will be a little weak.
……
"Sir, it's raining!"
The spring rain came quietly, and for the spring ploughing that had just ended, this rain came very timely.
When Dian Weixing rushed over to inform, Xi Yu was standing in front of the window and watching the raindrops slipping on the eaves.
"It's a pity that the rain is a little light!"
Calculating the rainfall of this spring rain, Xi Yu couldn't help but shake his head.
This rain didn't last long, but it was only a short period of time, and the sky cleared.
Dian Wei was excited: "Sir, you have been talking about it for the past two days, and now it is raining after all!" ”
"It's not a bad thing!"
"Yes!"
Xi Yu nodded: "I hope there will be more rain in a few days!" ”
"What, something?"
Seeing Dian Wei standing in front of the door in a daze, Xi Yu subconsciously asked the other party.
This kung fu Dian Wei seemed to come back to his senses: "I watched this rain just now, but I forgot about the important thing!" ”
"Just now, Mr. Wen Ruo asked someone to inform me, saying that Zhang Miao is here!"
Dian Wei scratched his head, because of the rain, he almost seemed to delay the matter.
Fortunately, Xi Yu reminded him, otherwise he would have almost forgotten.
Regarding Xi Yu's defense of Zhang Miao, Dian Wei has been following the other party, and naturally he has heard some things.
And Xi Yu has never shied away from Dian Wei.
This kung fu Xun Yu informed Zhang Miao that he was coming, and Dian Wei naturally knew that this was an extremely important matter.
Zhang Miao is here?
Hearing the news, Xi Yu was a little surprised.
He originally thought that Zhang Miao and Chen Gong should have already begun to plan how to meet Lu Bu to seize Yanzhou.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhang Miao would take the initiative to find Xun Yu.
But he didn't understand it!
However, since Xun Yu informed him, it didn't hurt for him to go over and take a look.
No matter what Zhang Miao and the others have planned, after all, it's just that the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth!
"Let's go, follow me to the government office!"
said a word to Dian Wei, and Xi Yu decisively led Dian Wei straight to the Juancheng Office.
The rain had just stopped, and the air still smelled of earth.
When Xi Yu and the two arrived at the Juancheng Government Office, Xun Yu was entertaining Zhang Miao alone.
"Fengyi is here!"
In the main hall of the government office, Xun Yu greeted him with a smile on his face after seeing Xi Yu appear.
At this time, Zhang Miao, who was sitting in the guest seat, couldn't help frowning.
Since he arrived in Juancheng, he had planned to discuss Lu Bu's affairs with Xun Yu, but before he could speak, Xun Yu kept asking him about his recent situation.
After some concern, he couldn't even interject a little.
Right now, when he was about to open his mouth to the other party, this kung fu drama actually came.
For Xi Yu, Zhang Miao is disgusted at the moment.
Previously, because of Dian Wei's matter, the two of them had already had a bad relationship.
Seeing the arrival of the drama, Zhang Miao planned to leave directly, but thinking of Lu Bu's matter, he still endured to sit in place.
It's just that he doesn't have a good face at all for Xi Yu.
Of course, Xi Yu didn't pay attention to Zhang Miao, and after arching his hand towards Xun Yu, he entered the main hall and found a desk and sat down.
The atmosphere in the main hall of the government office began to become a little strange with the appearance of Xi Yu.
Zhang Miao couldn't help it after all.
"Wen Ruo, I heard that Meng De's war in Xuzhou seems to have reached a stalemate, and I am very worried."
Zhang Miao opened his mouth and directly talked about Cao Cao's impasse in Xuzhou.
Xun Yu in front of him raised his head and glanced at the other party, with a worry on his face.
"As Taishou said, it is indeed not easy for the lord to crusade against Xuzhou this time!"
"I don't know what Taishou means by that?"
Xun Yu asked Zhang Miao with a normal face.
That look didn't seem to be fake, to be precise, Xun Yu at this moment didn't know what Zhang Miao meant by coming.
Hearing Xun Yu's question, Zhang Miao chuckled.
"I have a person who can help Meng De crusade against Xuzhou!"
"Who?"
Xun Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and as Zhang Miao opened his mouth, Xun Yu had more or less realized what the other party wanted to say.
Although he was a little surprised in his heart, his face was unaware and curious.
Xi Yu on the other side also looked over.
Zhang Miao didn't know that the two people in front of him already knew what he would say, and when he saw Xun Yu asking curiously, he hurriedly followed lightly.
"Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian!"
"Lu Bu?"
Xun Yu frowned slightly: "I have heard of this person, wasn't he under Yuan Shao before?" ”
Regarding Lu Bu's situation, Xun Yu was naturally clear, but he didn't say it directly at the moment.
Even he had already guessed what Zhang Miao meant.
What invited Lu Bu to come to help, but it was just an excuse!
"Lu Bu, the lost dog?"
The drama on the side also opened his mouth and laughed.
Zhang Miao was about to brag about Lu Bu's awesomeness, when he suddenly heard the ridicule of Xi Yu, and the whole person was a little bad.
"Foolishly, Lu Bu has been famous for a long time!"
"This time Mengde's war in Xuzhou is restricted, I can persuade Lu Bu to help Mengde, if I can get this person's help, it will be of great benefit to Mengde!"
Zhang Miao spoke softly, looking like he was holding a wisdom bead.
Xi Yu sneered and did not respond.
Xun Yu in front of him was still frowning.
"Can Taishou say that Lu Bu?"
Xun Yu looked up at Zhang Miao, who nodded decisively when he heard this.
Seeing this situation, Xun Yu responded with a smile.
"That's it, thank you for being too guarded!"
"However, this time the lord is not in Yanzhou, this matter is very important, I will send a letter to the lord to ask!"
"Very good!"
Zhang Miao left, and after getting Xun Yu's more vague answer, he left with great satisfaction.
However, turning his head, Xun Yu had no intention of sending a letter to Cao Cao at all.
Zhang Miao's intention to invite Lu Bu was too obvious.
Even if there is no reminder from Xi Yu, hearing this kind of thing, Xun Yu will not agree.
At the moment when Cao's army is conquering Xuzhou, at such an important time, how can he let a foreign general enter Yanzhou.
How is this different from luring a wolf into the house?
"It seems that Chen Gong and the others are ready to plan to do it!"
Zhang Miao's move made Xun Yu a little worried.
"What is the situation of the defenders everywhere?"
Xi Yu raised his head and looked at Xun Yu and Cheng Yu in front of him.
"Except for the important towns in Yanzhou, we don't have time to take care of the rest of the realms at the moment!"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on this time!"
Xun Yu sighed!
In the end, we still have to wait until Cao Cao's army returns!
At present, this kind of thing can be delayed for as long as it lasts!
It's mid-April in a blink of an eye.
Zhang Miao visited Juancheng for the second time, and this time Xi Yu didn't pay attention to Zhang Miao's affairs anymore.
It was still Xun Yu who greeted Zhang Miao.
As soon as they met, Zhang Miao took the initiative to ask Xun Yu about the last discussion.
"Wen Ruo, what did Meng De say?"
Seeing Xun Yu looking at him with a smile on his face, Zhang Miao asked Xun Yu very politely.
When he asked this, Zhang Miao's expression was unharmed, as if he really just wanted to do something for Cao Cao.
"The lord has already replied, if you can have a person like General Lu to help, it will be a great good!"
Xun Yu replied in a tone that Cao Cao had already promised.
And Zhang Miao, who heard this, suddenly rejoiced in his heart.
"In this case, I will notify General Lu to come to help!"
……
Zhang Miao, who received the reply, returned to Chen Liu with satisfaction, and directly sent a letter to invite Lu Bu to come.
At this moment, Chen Liuya's office.
Zhang Miao sat in the first place, Lu Bu sat firmly on the left, and Chen Gong sat on the opposite side.
"Two, if this matter is successful, in the future, in this land of Yanzhou, I, Lu Bu, will be in charge with the two!"
After sitting down, Lu Bu held the wine cup and toasted to Chen Gong and Zhang Miao.
Seeing Lu Bu behaving like this, Zhang Miao also smiled.
"General Lu, rest assured, Xun Yu has already responded to this matter, and in a few days, General Lu will be able to lead his soldiers to settle in Yanzhou!"
Chen Gong also nodded.
Before, he thought that Xun Yu had discovered something, but he never thought that now Xun Yu had agreed.
In that case, there's nothing to worry about.
"It's simple, I'll just go back and say hello to the boys!"
Lu Bu nodded, and then seemed to think of something, and hurriedly looked at Zhang Miao and Chen Gong again.
"By the way, I don't have much grain and grass under my command this time, so Xun Yu doesn't know what to say about grain and grass?"
"The general is at ease, since Xun Yu has promised to let the general help, I think this person should prepare food and grass for the general!"
"I'll just help the general ask."
……
"Zhang Miao asked me to ask for the grain and grass materials that Lu Bu needed!"
In the Juancheng Government Office, looking at the letterhead sent by Zhang Miao's fast horse, Xun Yu raised his eyes and looked at Xi Yu and Cheng Yu on the side.
Hearing this, Cheng Yu sneered.
"Grain and grass, now Yanzhou's grain and grass materials are all the first to supply Xuzhou, how can there be excess grain and grass for him!"
"Zhongde is in love!"
Xi Yu couldn't help but laugh.
Not to mention that Yanzhou's military resources and material needs are already extremely scarce now, even if there is surplus grain and grass materials, how can they choose the enemy!
Xun Yu also nodded.
"Don't bother with it, just drag it in!"
Crumpled the letterhead sent by Zhang Miao casually, and Xun Yu didn't plan to reply at all.
How long can Zhang Miao and the others drag on.
But thinking about it, with Chen Gong's intelligence, this time should not be too long.
When the time comes, Zhang Miao and others will inevitably be aware.
Thinking like this, Xun Yu couldn't help but think of Xiahoudun.
"This time it's time to tell General Xiahou to be cautious!"
……
Yanzhou, Puyang.
"What does that guy Xun Yu mean?"
"What is there to pay attention to in this Puyang!"
Xiahoudun, who was in charge of keeping his hands in Yanzhou, was a little speechless, although he was a little unclear about Xun Yu's intentions, but some time ago he still obeyed Xun Yu's dispatch and led part of the army to Puyang.
Originally, in this battle of Xuzhou, Cao Cao did not take him with him, and Xiahoudun was already a little unhappy in his heart.
At the moment, Xun Yu also asked him to lead troops to be stationed in a place like Puyang, which really made Xiahoudun a little incomprehensible.
Now that nearly a month has passed, there has not been the slightest favorable battle on the Xuzhou side.
Xiahou thought that Cao Cao would transfer him to Xuzhou, but he sent several letters to Cao Cao, and the reply he received was still to let him be stationed in Yanzhou honestly.
"That guy Miaocai is too wasteful, for so long, he can't even take a town in Xuzhou, if he changes me, at least three cities will fall now!"
Xiahoudun casually boasted to the little colonel on the side, and the latter was also very cooperative in touting the other party.
"Forget it, go back to camp!"
After a hasty tour of the outside of the city, Xiahoudun prepared to return to the camp with his people as usual.
At this moment, there was suddenly a report from the Malays.
"General, a small group of cavalry was found ten miles outside the city!"
"Cavalry?"
Xiahoudun, who received the news, suddenly changed his face, and when his brows furrowed, he hurriedly continued to let the spies start to check the news.
Not long after, news came back from the prospecting horses.
"General, there is not one out of ten scouts released by our army!"
"Enemy troops?"
Where did this kung fu come from, and the enemy army is still cavalry?
Xiahoudun only felt a little surprised, but he couldn't help but feel a little excited when he followed him.
He couldn't participate in the war in Xuzhou over there, so he could only watch a group of colleagues conquer the city in Xuzhou and earn credit.
But now, he was told that there were enemy troops in Yanzhou.
It made him look extremely excited.
I'm idle and have nothing to do, is this a pillow delivered to the door when I'm sleepy?
Well done!
"Send more spies and let me see who dares to come to Yanzhou to make trouble?"
Xiahoudun was a little excited, he had already lifted his spear and planned to personally lead the troops to meet the enemy who would attack in a while.
It's just that this excitement didn't take long for him, and when he really saw the enemy figure that appeared outside, his whole body was numb.
"Lu Lubu?"
