A few days ago.

Zhang Miao and the others, who were in Chenliu, were still waiting for Xun Yu to take the initiative to help Lu Bu send grain and grass!

However, the three of Lu Bu waited left and right, and they couldn't wait for Xun Yu to have any movement to send grain and grass to the army.

Even, Zhang Miao sent several letters to Xun Yu in a row, but there was no reply.

It was not until this moment that Chen Gong realized that he and the others were afraid that they would be tricked by Xun Yu and others.

"Damn, that Xun Yuming pretended to be a humble gentleman on his face, and actually did this!"

Zhang Miao, who also realized that something was wrong, couldn't help but scold in the house.

At this time, Chen Gong's face was already a little dark.

"Meng Zhuo, I want to come to Xun Yu and realize something!"

He said that with Xun Yu's intelligence, how could he not realize this, not to mention that Xi Yu was also in Juancheng.

It's that he thinks it's a little simpler!

"What should we do now?"

After realizing that he had been tricked, Zhang Miao was a little helpless, so he could only look at Chen Gong unwillingly.

Lu Bu on the side also had a dark face.

As if realizing that his plan to seize Yanzhou was not going well, Lu Bu's face was obviously a little annoyed.

"For the sake of today, we can only act according to the previous plan!"

"General Lu can lead his troops to attack directly this time!"

"Meng Zhuo and I will inform the Yanzhou Shi clan to respond to the general together!"

Chen Gong casually arranged the plan, and Lu Bu on the side could only nod his head.

Immediately, the three of them did not have any extra words, and began to act separately.

After leaving Chenliu, the first thing Lu Bu did when he returned to the camp was to gather his generals.

A few days later, Lu Bu led Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others all the way to Juancheng.

The first town where Lu Bu traveled was Puyang.

At that time, Xiahoudun had already been ordered by Xun Yu to do this.

At this moment, as Lu Bu led the cavalry to come, Xiahou Dun, who had originally planned to go out of the city to face the battle, changed his attention in an instant.

"Lu Bu, why is Lu Bu?"

Lu Bu's name has long been spread all over the world, and Xiahoudun naturally knows how many catties and taels he has.

Let him go to face Lu Bu, what is the difference between that and sending him to death.

It was only at this time that Xiahoudun realized why Xun Yu ordered him to be stationed here.

That Lu Bu actually appeared in Yanzhou.

……

Approaching May.

The signs of warming weather are becoming more apparent.

Chen Gong and Zhang Miao ran around Yanzhou, and Xi Yu and others naturally reacted.

It's just that now most of the Yanzhou army has been led by Cao Cao, and now it is impossible for Xun Yu and the three of them to completely control the entire Yanzhou.

Under such circumstances, Xun Yu had no way to stop Chen Gong's plan.

This is a conspiratorial strategy, and there is nothing to be done.

For today's plan, only Cao's army will return.

But in the past few months, in the battle of Xuzhou ahead, Cao's army has reached a stalemate.

For a period of time, it was impossible to withdraw troops and return to Yanzhou.

……

Xuzhou, Cao Jun's camp.

Cao Cao, who received Xun Yu's letter, was somewhat in a trance.

Zhang Miao and Chen Gong welcomed Lu Bu into Yanzhou and rebelled?

This, how is this possible?

It was he Chen Gong who planned for him and settled in Yanzhou, why do he rebel now?

Could it be because he has snubbed Chen Gong now?

Zhang Miao, this person is his best friend who is worthy of entrusting his family and relatives, how could he betray him.

Cao Cao, who received the news for the first time, thought that Xun Yu was joking with him.

Even, he thought that the letter from the two had been changed.

However, when Xun Yu's second and third letters came, Cao Cao had to believe it.

Yanzhou, something is indeed happening!

Cao Cao was like a mourner.

Now that the war in Xuzhou is scorching, and such a thing has happened in Yanzhou in the rear, it is not a big blow to him.

The drama on the side was quite emotional.

Sure enough, what his brother said was really right.

Zhang Miao and the others really have different intentions, but now that this matter has been verified, Xi Zhicai is not happy at all.

It stands to reason that his younger brother should be excited to see things like a god.

But, that's not a good thing!

"Don't worry, my lord, Fengyi expected it before!"

Looking at Cao Cao like this now, Xi Zhi felt that he still couldn't let Cao Cao be lost like this.

Immediately, he told him what Xi Yu had reminded him of earlier.

Hearing this, Cao Cao was a little stunned.

"Is what Zhicai said true?"

"Fengyi expected this before it happened?"

This sounds a bit unbelievable, Xi Yu had already expected it when Zhang Miao and the others had not yet rebelled?

How can it be?

"How dare you joke?"

Xi Zhicai laughed helplessly, and then told Cao Cao the entire process of what Xi Yu and himself had said before.

After hearing the whole process, Cao Cao was slightly stunned.

Because of his friendship with Zhang Miao, didn't Xi Yu take the initiative to mention this matter to him?

That's right, if Xi Yu told him such a thing before, with his trust in Zhang Miao, he wouldn't believe it.

On the contrary, this matter may even cause a rift between him and Xi Yu.

Xi Yu did the right thing.

However, learning about such a thing now still makes Cao Cao a little heartbroken.

He trusts Zhang Miao so much, how can the other party do such a thing?

It's hateful!

"Lord, Fengyi had expected it before, and I think it already has a backhand, so I don't have to worry about it for the time being!"

Xi Zhicai thought about it and relieved Cao Cao.

Hearing this, Cao Cao also nodded.

To be honest, it was a little uncomfortable for him to withdraw to Yanzhou now.

Although the battle of Xuzhou is now in a stalemate, if the war drags on, he is confident that he will annex the entire Xuzhou.

However, Yanzhou is the place where he made his fortune, and it is absolutely impossible for him to give up.

It's just that if he retreats to Yanzhou this time, it will be the Xuzhou towns that he captured before, and I'm afraid he won't be able to control it.

At that time, if Xuzhou is allowed to breathe again, it will be more difficult to crusade against Xuzhou at that time.

But!

Now that Xi Yu and Xun Yu are behind, he is more stable.

"Count the days, our army's grain and grass can't last for a month, it's time for the grain and grass of the baggage battalion to come, right?"

After breathing a sigh of relief, Cao Cao suddenly thought that it was time for the army to transport grain and grass again.

Now it is Xi Yu who is responsible for transporting grain and grass.

After a while, he will be able to ask Xi Yu in person.

……

Yanzhou, Juancheng!

New rations and forage have been loaded into wagons by the baggage battalions.

Xi Yu turned his head and looked at Xun Yu and Cheng Yu in front of him.

"Two, this time Yanzhou will entrust the two!"

The matter of grain and grass ahead cannot be delayed, and now that the grain and grass collected have been loaded, Xi Yu, as the commander of the baggage battalion, naturally has to set off with the baggage battalion.

Nowadays, Yanzhou is unstable, and the matter of grain and grass is the most important.

Although the current situation in Yanzhou looks a little unfavorable, unexpectedly, Xiahoudun of Puyang actually blocked Lu Bu.

"Fengyi and peace of mind to transport grain, Juancheng and other places I guarantee foolproof!"

Xun Yu nodded, at the moment, whether to stay or not to stay does not affect the overall situation.

The rebellions in various parts of Yanzhou could not be stopped by just relying on Xi Yu.

Now, they only need to stick to the town they now control, and so on for a while, until Cao Cao's side pulls out.

The dilemma can be solved!

"Fengyi and peace of mind, as long as I am safe, I will not let anything happen to Juancheng!"

Cheng Yu on the side also nodded.

Nowadays, the entire Cao Ying's family members basically live in Juancheng, even if the entire Yanzhou falls, they must also ensure that Juancheng is safe and sound.

Xi Yu naturally understood what the two meant.

Whether he stays or not, he can play a very small role.

Even if he is outstanding in force, under the rebellion of the entire Yanzhou, the only thing he can guarantee is that his family will not have an accident!

And with Xun Yu and Cheng Yu located, it is not difficult to hold on to a few towns, and there is also the location of Xiahoudun's garrison, so it's a big deal to stick to Juancheng in the end!

"That's it!"

Nodding to the two of them, Xi Yu sent Dian Wei to lead the baggage camp to set off slowly, and then returned to the opera to say a few words to Gan Mei.

At sunset, he caught up with the baggage camp in front of him carrying grain and grass.

……

When Xi Yu led the baggage battalion to suppress the military supplies needed by Cao's army, he marched towards Xuzhou again.

On the other side, Lu Bu, who could not capture Puyang, had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

At this moment, inside Lu Bu's camp.

Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong on the side with a dark face and said nothing.

That Xiahou was stubborn in the town and couldn't shrink out, while most of Lu Bu were Xiliang iron cavalry, not soldiers who were good at capturing towns.

It is not easy to win Xiahoudun this time.

And that Xiahoudun seemed to know that he was coming, and there was no intention of fighting on the top of the city for days.

"Jun Hou, for today's plan, we should move to the rest of the towns in Yanzhou!"

Chen Gong said a word to Lu Bu, and now, he and Zhang Miao have communicated with those Yanzhou scholars.

Once those important towns on Lu Bu's side, all parts of Yanzhou will return to Lu Bu, but I never thought that Lu Bu would run into Xiahoudun as soon as he came up.

If it were another defender, the town might have been captured by now.

"Hmph, that person will only shrink into the town, if he fights in my field, I will cut off his head within my Sanhe!"

Lu Bu was a little disdainful.

Chen Gong and the others on the side did not refute when they heard this, and Lu Bu's force was known to the world.

Because of this, the other party will not be stupid enough to have a hard time with Lu Bu.

Chen Gong was a little helpless, this time he finally failed his calculations, and was even scolded by Xun Yuyin.

If Lu Bu had launched a surprise attack earlier, Xun Yu would not have had time to settle all this.

However, at the moment, Cao Jun is dragging in Xuzhou, and the time is in me.

"By the way, I heard a report from the spies that Cao Jun's grain and grass are already on the way to Xuzhou?"

As if thinking of something, Lu Bu suddenly raised his head and asked Chen Gong.

Hearing this, Chen Gong frowned and thought about it, and subconsciously nodded.

"That's right, the grain and grass collected by Yanzhou some time ago have been transported from Juancheng to Xuzhou, and now it has just set off!"

"Grain and grass!"

Lu Bu gritted his teeth and bit the two words very hard.

Now, he led his troops from Hanoi to Yanzhou, and the army consumed a lot of grain and grass every day.

Zhang Yang's side will no longer provide him with any food and grass.

And Zhang Miao's Chen Liu, but only one place, can provide him for too long.

"Jun Hou, the top priority is to capture a place, and the worries of grain and grass can be solved!"

Chen Gong spoke up.

Lu Bu only needed to take a few towns in Yanzhou, whether it was to collect grain and grass on the spot, or to ask for it from those Yanzhou scholars.

There will never be a shortage of food and grass.

Hearing this, Lu Bu just frowned.

Troublesome!

"Isn't Cao Jun's grain and grass already requisitioned, wouldn't it be easier for me to directly take Cao Jun's grain and grass!"

Lu Bu pursed his lips and chuckled.

Now they have received the news that Cao Jun's grain and grass have just set off, and all his subordinates are Xiliang iron horsemen, chasing day and night.

Within two days, they were able to catch up with Cao's grain transport team.

With his ability, wouldn't it be easy to seize Cao Jun's grain and grass?

Where else is it necessary to capture what towns.

For Lu Bu, what he is most lacking at the moment is grain and grass.

It would be a waste of time to capture the town and then collect it locally or ask for it from those nobles.

It is not easier to directly snatch the grain and grass that Cao Jun has prepared.

This move can solve his current needs for food and grass.

He was able to take this opportunity to hit the Cao army on the front line in Xuzhou.

It's a great thing to kill two birds with one stone.

Lu Bu only felt that his thoughts suddenly opened up at this moment, and after saying this, he couldn't help but look at Chen Gong in front of him.

The latter was stunned, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to have such an opinion.

"What Jun Hou said is very true, this move is a clever move!"

In just an instant, Chen Gong had already figured out how much damage this move would cause to Cao Cao's side.

Without these grains and grasses, Cao Cao on the Xuzhou side would inevitably have to withdraw his troops at that time, and Lu Bu had already occupied the entire Yanzhou at that time.

At that time, Cao Cao could not capture Xuzhou, and retreat could not protect Yanzhou.

There is no way to advance or retreat.

Wonderful, wonderful!

"Do you know which road Cao Jun's grain road is, and who is responsible for supervising the grain transportation team?"

After deciding to seize the grain and grass, Lu Bu casually asked Chen Gong.

Hearing this, Chen Gong immediately summoned the spies in.

After some inquiry, Lu Bu and the others soon knew where Cao Jun's grain road was, and even knew that it was Xi Yu who was responsible for supervising the grain and grass at the moment.

"Xiyu?"

This name Lu Bu seems to have heard of it before, and it is somewhat familiar.

He subconsciously opened his mouth to mutter a few words, and Zhang Liao, who was on the side of this kung fu, couldn't help but remind him aloud.

"Jun Hou, this person is the Taicang Order rewarded by the imperial court before!"

Zhang Liao reminded him, and then thought of the rumors about Xi Yu some time ago, and he subconsciously glanced at Lu Bu.

It is rumored that when Cao Cao fought in Xuzhou before, Cao and Liu had made an appointment with the battle before.

And the key character is the person who plays Yu.

I heard that when this person was fighting that day, he overwhelmed Guan Zhang and others and defeated Liu Bei in one fell swoop.

After that, Xi Yu's reputation began to spread throughout the Han Dynasty.

"Taicang Order?"

Lu Bu frowned, in charge of the granary?

"Jun Hou, when Cao Liu fought the generals before, it was this person who became famous!"

"It is rumored that this person is under you by force!"

Zhang Liao said a little brightly.

Regarding such rumors, Zhang Liao also couldn't imagine that he was extremely clear about how strong Lu Bu's force was.

It was precisely because he knew Lu Bu's arrogance that Zhang Liao knew that such a fierce general was simply too rare.

It is already extremely difficult to have such a character as Lu Bu in the world.

How is it possible to come out with another one?

"Oh?"

"That's him!"

Some time ago, there was a lot of rumors from the outside world, and Lu Bu naturally heard about it, but he didn't take it to heart at all.

The force in the world can match him, and he has never met it until now.

The strength of Guan Zhang and the two can be regarded as somewhat recognized by him, and their ability to suppress Guan Zhang is also a little strong!

However, if you want to compete with him, hehe!

"I'm interested in it, and since he happens to be escorting grain and grass, it's just the right time!"

The corners of Lu Bu's mouth chuckled, and when his eyebrows rose, there was obviously a trace of interest in his eyes.

A person who is rumored to be able to match him in force, this really stimulates his fighting spirit!

If it's just snatching grain and grass, it's a bit boring.

But if you can compete with a military general who is rumored to be on par with you, it will not be painful.

"Jun Hou, this person Meng Zhuo has seen it before!"

"I heard that it's just a strategist, not a peerless general at all!"

"That's just a false name that Cao Cao passed on through this!"

Speaking of drama, Chen Gong casually commented directly.

In his opinion, Xi Yu's prestige is just Cao Cao's opportunity to promote, and it is in name only.

Zhang Miao on the side also nodded at this time.

He had seen Xi Yu, and seeing that Lu Bu seemed to be interested in it, he added a sentence after this effort.

"What the public platform said is good, I've seen this person!"

"Although his body shape is similar to that of Jun Hou, his body is not as majestic as Jun Hou, but it looks a little weak!"

Zhang Miao looked at Lu Bu in front of him.

The person in front of him is majestic, and he is faintly powerful just by standing in front of him.

His waist is like a pillar, and his arms are like beams.

It's that play, when he first saw it, it was just a man of tongue!

Although his body is tall, his body shape is not like Lu Bu's.

Thinking that Xi Yu would meet a fierce person like Lu Bu, Zhang Miao's heart couldn't help but feel a little comfortable.

His perception of the drama is not good.

If he can be killed by Lu Bu, or humiliated by Lu Bu, it will make him feel comfortable.

"Oh?"

"Is it just a strategist?"

Lu Bu's brows furrowed slightly.

He was still a little interested just now, if he really had the ability to overwhelm Guan Zhang and the others, he would be interested in fighting the other party.

However, if he was just a strategist, then he would not be interested in the slightest.

A strategist, he can easily crush it with his hands.

Zhang Liao on the side didn't have much opinion.

For Lu Bu, they have absolute confidence.

As for the rumored drama, maybe it's really just a rumor.

And rumors of this kind of thing are the most implausible.

After putting aside his impression of Xi Yu, Lu Bu laughed.

followed him without the slightest hesitation, and ordered his generals as soon as possible.

In the afternoon of the same day, Lu Bu led a thousand Xiliang cavalry under his command, and began to pursue in the direction of Xuzhou that day.
