Chapter 159 Liu Bei: I'm ready, just say this?
After learning the thoughts of Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, Xi Yu naturally did not have the slightest opinion on the expansion of the baggage camp.
From the establishment of the baggage camp to the present, it is indeed time to expand.
The baggage battalion of 3,000 people is indeed a little less than the entire Cao army today.
However, there is no hurry to expand the baggage camp.
The next day, the Han Dynasty meeting.
After the court meeting was over, after coming out of the main hall, Xi Yu walked side by side with Cao Cao.
"Fengyi is free today!"
For things like court discussions, Xi Yu basically doesn't participate in them on weekdays.
Seeing Xi Yu above the court today, Cao Cao was a little surprised.
I thought that the other party would have something to say in the hall, but who would have thought that he had been looking forward to it for a long time but did not see the slightest movement from Fengyi.
Until the end of the court meeting, Xi Yu acted like no one was fine.
In this situation, it really seems that he is extremely bored and comes to participate in the court meeting.
Cao Cao was a little curious, and the two of them were able to leave the palace gate, so Cao Cao couldn't help but ask Xi Yu.
Hearing this, he just smiled.
"Brother smiled, what did Yu say, he is also the imperial historian and the great Sinong of the imperial court, if he doesn't go to court for a long time, it is easy to cause criticism!"
It seems that Dong Cheng and those people have long criticized the fact that Xi Yu has not been in court for a long time.
However, Xi Yu didn't pay any attention to this.
Participating in the court meeting today is just a matter of excitement.
By the way, I just happened to talk to Lao Cao about expanding the baggage camp.
"Criticism, in my opinion, Fengyi doesn't care about these things."
Lao Cao still has some understanding of Xi Yu, and the criticism of those old ministers of the Han family, in Cao Cao's opinion, Xi Yu will not take it to heart at all.
However, Cao Cao was still quite happy that Xi Yu could come to participate in the court meeting.
Today, in the court, except for some miscellaneous things, there is no major event.
However, Zhang Xiu's guy is still a thorn in Cao Cao's heart after all.
Since the defeat of the westward advance, Zhang Xiu has captured some towns in Henan in the blink of an eye.
And Cao Hong was anxious about the other party, and he fought several times without success!
Without Wancheng, the existence of Zhang Xiu and others in Nanyang and other places is still a thorn in Cao Jun's thorn.
Just because of the idea of resting because of the defeat of the westward advance, this kung fu Cao Cao was born again.
The two walked side by side, and when they finally saw Xi Yu today, Cao Cao couldn't help but want to ask the other party's opinion on Zhang Xiu.
Because of the previous defeat, if he was mentioning the matter of conscripting Zhang Xiu now, he was worried that Xun Yu and others, including Xi Yu, would not agree.
Cao Cao hesitated, and the two of them went all the way out of the palace gate.
"Is Fengyi going to the government office this time?"
There are not many things that can be said at the court meeting, and all decisions about Cao Jun are actually discussed within the government office.
Cao Cao asked Xi Yu, who immediately understood.
nodded: "Yes!" ”
Not only do you have something to ask the other person, but the other person also seems to have something to ask you.
After a pause, Xi Yu looked not far behind him, and Xun Yu and the others also followed slowly.
Everyone went to the Xuchang government office together, and after entering the government office, the group of people walked directly into the main hall.
As soon as he sat down, Cao Cao couldn't help but look at Xi Yu and the others.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if the situation today has changed a lot, it is my fault that I lost the previous westward expansion!"
"However, this time Zhang embroidered the thief, to my Cao Jun, it is like a fish in the throat, I have the heart to pull out this thorn!"
Zhang Xiu's activities in Nanyang and other places were unbearable for Cao Jun and Cao Cao after all.
This time it was put on the bright side, just because Cao Cao had secretly asked Xun You and others for their opinions before.
And Xun You and others basically agree with him.
Now, the rest is the opinions of Xi Yu, Xun Yu and others.
Because of this, after seeing Xi Yu at today's court, Cao Cao eagerly wanted to pull the other party to the government office to ask.
After saying this, Xun Yu on the side didn't have too many opinions.
Cao Jun would not tolerate someone moving under his nose, not to mention, this person is still Zhang Xiu.
Coupled with the previous Wancheng incident, Cao Cao has endured it for more than a month, and he can't help it.
He can't let Zhang Xiu act like this under his nose because of Wancheng's defeat.
This matter, not only Cao Cao couldn't bear it, but even the generals with Cao Ying couldn't bear it.
And Xun Yu didn't have much opinion on this.
It is naturally possible to fight Zhang Xiu, and Cao Hong was sent to deal with Zhang Xiu before, which is the case.
It's just that in the past two months, Cao Hong has not made any achievements.
Cao Cao then raised the idea of leading his troops to attack again.
After listening to Lao Cao's words, Xi Yu suddenly understood.
Regarding Cao Cao's desire to lead troops to attack Zhang Xiu again, Xi Yu actually has no opinion.
The matter of Wancheng has passed.
Lao Cao's kung fu can be said to remember the last defeat vividly.
He must have been thinking about it in his heart for a long time.
Cao Cao must attach great importance to this expedition.
"Feasible!"
Seeing Lao Cao looking at him with an inquiring look in his eyes, Xi Yu smiled and nodded.
At present, although the time he said has not yet appeared, some subtle things will not affect the general trend of the world at all.
In two months, Li Daogui couldn't shrink out of the sky, and he was already interested in making friends with the Xuchang court.
And Guo Yan died, and Zhang Yang gave up the Sili area.
Now there are dozens of commanders west of Luoyang who can't be named, and these people are insignificant to Cao Cao.
Yuan Shao in the north, this kung fu is holding his breath and wants to annex Lu Bu in one fell swoop and take the entire Bingzhou region.
Confirm his position as the general of the land of the four continents.
On the other side, Yuan Shu was busy commanding Sun Ce to capture the southern counties, and he intended to march into Xuzhou, but the land of Xuzhou was held by Cao Ren, which was quite stable.
The matter of Wancheng has passed after all.
Lao Cao can directly open his mouth to propose, and in the face of the past defeat, he has already made up his mind.
Xi Yu naturally didn't have the slightest intention of blocking it.
Seeing that Xi Yu actually nodded in agreement, Cao Cao was a little surprised.
He thought that if he mentioned the conquest of Zhang Xiu again, Xi Yu and others would more or less stand up to stop it.
I never thought that as soon as I said this, not only Xun Yu, but also Xi Yu and others did not have the slightest opinion.
Cao Cao was pleasantly surprised, and even couldn't help but raise his voice a little.
"That being the case, tomorrow I will play Your Majesty and talk about the conquest of Zhang Xiu!"
Cao Cao is in a good mood, of course, the so-called playing the Son of Heaven is just a matter of opening his mouth for Cao Cao.
Now the court hall in Xuchang has become Cao Cao's hall of words.
"Since my brother wants to ask for Zhang Xiu, Yu just has something to talk to my brother!"
Seeing that Cao Cao was in a good mood, Xi Yu took the opportunity to talk about the expansion of the baggage camp.
Hearing the joke speak, Cao Cao grinned: "Oh, Fengyi can be blunt!" ”
"Brother, the power of our army is very different from when it was in Yanzhou."
"My subordinates told me that it is not easy for the current baggage battalion to take on the food and grass of hundreds of thousands of people!"
"I told my brother this time, I want to tell my brother that I intend to expand the baggage camp!"
Expanding the baggage camp?
After hearing the meaning of Xi Yu, Cao Cao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Cao Cao has long been greedy for Xi Yu's baggage battalion, this is an iron army that is stronger than his tiger and leopard battalion.
In Wancheng a few days ago, if he was followed by the soldiers of the 3,000 baggage battalions, I am afraid that the situation that night would be a different scene.
And now the entire army has already begun to learn the training method of the baggage battalion, but compared with the baggage battalion of Xi Yu, there is still a slight gap.
It's just that the baggage camp has always been under the control of Xi Yu, even if he is greedy, there is nothing he can do.
Now hearing Xi Yu's idea of expanding the baggage camp, Cao Cao couldn't help but be a little excited.
Perhaps, it could be done another way?
"There is nothing you can't do, Fengyi can recruit by himself!"
Cao Cao agreed with a smile, followed by a look on his face that was a little moved.
At present, Xi Yu wants to expand the baggage camp, so the new generals in the camp will inevitably need to be retrained.
Perhaps, he can take this opportunity to let the Haw Par battalion under his command train with the soldiers of the baggage battalion.
In this way, the generals of the Haw Par Battalion will inevitably be much different from the baggage battalion in the future.
I didn't know that Lao Cao's kung fu had already used himself to recruit soldiers and retrain his kung fu, and he trained together.
After receiving Lao Cao's promise, he nodded.
"In this case, the matter of recruiting baggage battalions still needs the generals, so it is convenient!"
Turning his head, Xi Yu said a word to the generals of Cao Ying.
As soon as these words were spoken, the generals did not have much opinion.
Everyone casually agreed, saying that except for the more important personal guards under their hands, the rest of the soldiers were all at the mercy of Xi Yu.
This kung fu, after solving the matter of the baggage camp, Xi Yu has nothing else important.
Cao Cao began to discuss the conquest of Zhang Xiu.
Xi Yu listened to it on the side for a while, and Xun You and others helped Cao Cao specify the combat strategy.
The whole process went extremely smoothly.
After all, the gap between Cao Cao's personal expedition and Cao Hong's leading troops to the expedition is still extremely obvious.
The previous defeat in Wancheng was just an accident after all.
Lao Cao Zheng'er went to deal with Zhang Xiu, which is not too difficult in itself.
What's more, this time, Jia Xu, who had been following Zhang Xiu's side to give advice, had been taken away by him in advance.
Without Jia Xu's Zhang Xiu, he is now just a blind tiger.
Although it has some power, it is only a little bit of power.
……
After leaving the Xuchang Bureau, Xi Yu went straight to the baggage camp.
In this kung fu, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yunzheng took the soldiers of the baggage battalion to complete this basic training every day.
After seeing Xi Yu coming, the two stopped training and followed Xi Yu into the camp.
"I have communicated with Sikong, and from tomorrow, Zilong, Lao Huang, and Er can recruit soldiers within the Cao Army!"
"Let's increase the number of people by another 3,000 this time!"
After informing the two of them of the results in the government office, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong couldn't help but nodded.
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Xi Yu was about to return to his house.
This kung fu Huang Zhong suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly shouted to stop Xi Yu.
"Sir, Sikong agrees with you to recruit soldiers from the baggage battalion in the entire Cao army, I don't know if the guards in the city are okay?"
Huang Zhong heard that he could recruit within the entire Cao camp.
He couldn't help but think of the guards he met when he first came to Xuchang that day.
Those people were willing to lend him money just by his words, and Huang Zhong has always kept this kindness in his heart.
Although he returned the money to them the next day with the help of his husband, a favor is a favor.
Huang Zhong also saw that those guards were extremely yearning for Mr. and the baggage camp under his command.
If he could, he would like to recruit a few guards to come to the baggage camp.
"Oh, Lao Huang, what do you mean?"
Xi Yu was a little curious, and he saw that Huang Zhong meant something, so he asked directly.
Immediately after, Huang Zhong did not hesitate and directly said what he thought in his heart.
He said that he wanted to recruit the guards who had helped him before to the baggage camp.
Hearing this, Xi Yu didn't have any opinions.
It's nothing more than a few guards!
However, he seemed to remember that the guards Huang Zhong said seemed to have been sent by Cao Cao to protect Liu Bei.
It's not a big deal!
After all, for Liu Bei, those guards were responsible for monitoring him after all.
For Cao Cao, it was nothing more than sending a new team of guards.
In short, Huang Zhong's idea is just an insignificant matter.
And for Huang Zhong's kung fu to have such a proposal, Xi Yu still has some approval in his heart.
Huang Zhong can keep the previous insignificant kindness in his heart, which shows his character.
Who can not love such a subordinate who values love and righteousness?
"Yes, this expansion of the baggage camp is up to the two of you!"
"Within the entire army, choose with the two of you!"
said a word to the two, and Xi Yu didn't take the matter to heart.
As for how the newly recruited baggage battalion soldiers should be trained, Zhao Yun was already extremely familiar with this matter, and there was no need to worry about it.
After getting the nod from Xi Yu, Huang Zhong was in a good mood.
Immediately, Huang Zhong said a word to Xi Yu, and hurriedly wanted to go straight to Liu Bei's mansion.
Seeing Huang Zhong in such a hurry, although Xi Yu was a little surprised, he was also happy to see it.
It just so happened that he was going back, so he followed the other party all the way.
This kung fu is time-to-unitary.
The entire canopy began to turn from bright to dark, and Xi Yu took Huang Zhong out of the baggage camp, and soon arrived in front of Liu Bei's mansion.
The scale of Liu Bei's mansion in Xuchang is okay, and it is worthy of the identity of the other party's current imperial uncle.
This kung fu, the door of Liu's mansion was closed.
And above the court today, Liu Bei rarely did not go to court.
Regarding Liu Bei's actions in recent days, Xi Yu didn't take it to heart.
At this time, when he arrived at the gate, Huang Zhong took the initiative to knock on the door after looking at it.
In a short time, the door opened.
What came out was the guard beside Liu Bei.
When the visitor saw that it was Huang Zhong, his expression was obviously a little excited, and after seeing Xi Yu again, he hurriedly took the initiative to salute.
"I've seen sir!"
"You're welcome, I'm looking for Uncle Huang to have something, I'm tired of reporting it!"
After saying a word to the guard, Xi Yu smiled, and this time he helped Huang Zhong ask for the guard in front of Liu Bei, and no matter how he said it, he had to say hello to Liu Bei.
When the guard heard this, he nodded and returned to the house.
After a while, Xi Yu saw inside the gate, and Liu Bei hurriedly trotted out of the door with a happy face.
Looking carefully, Liu Bei at this moment doesn't seem to be wearing shoes at his feet.
I don't know if it's on purpose, or if I'm really in a hurry and even forgot to put on my shoes.
Xi Yu's eyebrows were only slightly raised, but Huang Zhong's expression was unharmed.
Liu Bei was a little excited!
Just now I learned from the guards that Xi Yu was coming to visit, and his whole heartbeat began to speed up for a while.
Since meeting Yu Yu Yu a few months ago, Liu Bei has not seen Xi Yu for a long time.
Cao Cao led his troops westward before, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to visit each other, but it happened that Xi Yu took Huang Zhong to Wancheng.
After Wancheng, Cao Cao returned, and Liu Bei temporarily dispelled the thoughts in his heart.
Now he is trapped in Xuchang.
Although he has the name of the emperor's uncle, he has no freedom.
Cao Cao is powerful, and the entire Xuchang is the eyeliner of the other party, and his every move seems to be under the control of the other party.
has been making friends with scholars before, and Liu Bei just wants to find a way to leave Xuchang.
But he couldn't meet a well-liked mastermind.
Now that he heard that Xi Yu came to visit him, Liu Bei naturally had some expectations in his heart.
Because of this, after he got the joke, he jumped off the bed as soon as he could, and he didn't even bother to wear shoes.
After arriving outside the door, the excitement on Liu Bei's face seemed to overflow.
Xi Yu raised his eyes and looked at the other party, his eyes fell on Liu Bei's bare feet, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Uncle Huang came out on his feet, so hospitable, it made Yu quite flattered!"
He and Liu Bei are also familiar, and casual jokes are harmless.
Hearing this, Liu Bei didn't care at all on his face, and wanted to drag Xi Yu to the mansion.
"Fengyi came, and he was overjoyed!"
"I forgot to put on boots when I was excited, but I was abruptly righteous!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Xi Yu slightly avoided Liu Bei's idea of stepping forward and planning to enter with his arms.
In this era, the relationship between the two is good, and it is normal to hold arms.
But such a habit, Xi Yu is still a little uncomfortable now.
took Huang Zhong and followed Liu Bei into the gate, and after a short time, Liu Bei invited Xi Yu to sit in the main hall.
After sitting down, Liu Bei looked at Xi Yu with burning eyes, quite excited.
Xi Yu knew that the other party probably misunderstood.
He glanced at Huang Zhong, but he didn't hesitate, and spoke directly.
"Don't hide it from Xuan Dejun, this time I came here for the guards around you!"
"I intend to expand the baggage battalion under my command, and Sikong allows me to recruit soldiers in the army!"
"However, my subordinate is a person who values love and righteousness, and the guards around Xuandejun were kind to him before, and he plans to repay the favor this time!"
"Now that I'm here to visit, I want to ask you for those people!"
Well?
After the joke fell, Liu Bei's expression was somewhat stagnant.
He thought that Xi Yu was rushing to visit him, and he had already prepared a basket of words in his belly just now.
Now that they have the meaning, those words are stuck in their throats.
