Hiss... Qiao Rui gasped.

"According to Yunqi's train of thought, there is really some truth, go on..."

Long Xiang nodded and continued to add: "Your Majesty asked the army to arrive in Zhongli on the fifth day, indicating that it can be fastened, but since entering the Xuzhou territory, it only stops for twenty miles a day, don't you think it's very contradictory?" ”

"I also doubted..."

"And this march, the flags are waving and the momentum is huge, as if the whereabouts are deliberately exposed to anyone..."

"Stop beating around the bush and state your conclusions."

Long Xiang spread his hands and replied awkwardly: "Your Majesty's true intentions, the last general really can't guess, but it may be that the sound is attacking the west, and the target from the beginning is not Guangling." ”

"Not Guangling? Where could that be? I haven't heard of the division of troops elsewhere..."Qiao Rui's mind was chaotic.

Long Xiang shook his head and added: "I don't know the specifics, but the last general guesses that he won't wait too long, after all, the army consumes a lot every day, and we can't eat food here and wave the flag, so Chen Yu will take the initiative to come down, right?" ”

"The analysis is quite reasonable, then I will persuade General Zhang to wait." Qiao Rui nodded solemnly.

Long Xiang was originally guessing, but it turned out to be a prophecy.

At dusk the next day, Yuan Shu suddenly ordered the army to turn around, march northward with a cessation of flags, and cross the Huaishui into Yuzhou at night, leaving only more than 1,000 people in Huailing, continuing to bluff.

It wasn't until the army marched to the vicinity of Qi County that Yuan Shu made his true intentions public.

Yuan Shu was in Huailing for four or five days, waiting for news from the direction of Chen Guo, and when Zhang Min successfully completed the assassination mission, he decisively led his army to cross the river.

An army of 50,000 marched day and night to invade and occupy the chaotic state of Chen.

After Yuan Shu succeeded, he ordered someone to open the treasury to reward the three armies, and the soldiers were rewarded without using a knife or a shot, and everyone had a smile on their faces, but Long Xiang's expression was extremely solemn.

"Yunqi, why are you so serious? This time, we are bloodless, and we have won some military merits for nothing, and no one will say anything, right? ”

At the celebration banquet of each battalion headquarters, Tang Yu picked up his wine glass and deliberately joked.

Long Xiang shook his head lightly and did not speak, and the official Cao Xingwu sighed to himself.

"It turns out that Your Majesty is strategizing, if he was in command of the last battle of Xuzhou, he may not lose to Lu Bu..."

"If there is no failure in Xuzhou, we will not sit together, there was no wine for you in Shouchun in the past, and we will make up for you today."

Tang Yu raised his wine glass and expressed kindness to Cao Xing.

Cao Xing has never been married in six out of twenty, and he is also alone with Tang Yu, and he has been low-key in the past few months, and Tang Yu slowly accepted him.

"The last will honor you." Cao Xing took the initiative to stand up.

Tang Yu was about to drink a toast, when he suddenly heard Long Xiang talking to himself.

"Woe to you..."

"Huh? What did you say? Tang Yu put down his wine glass and asked.

Long Xiang raised his head, his face worried.

"This place is two hundred miles away from Xudu, and His Majesty's 50,000 troops are here, what do you think Cao Cao thinks? Then the emperor of the Han Dynasty is in Xudu. ”

"Yunqi, you mean..."Tang Yu swallowed violently.

Long Xiang frowned and asked, "This war has just begun, can we beat Cao Cao?" ”

"I'm afraid I can't..."

Tang Yu's head shook like a rattle, and then reminded: "Yunqi's guess has always been very accurate, you go and tell General Qiao." ”

Long Xiang nodded and stood up, and instructed with a serious face: "Let the soldiers stay on high alert, and be ready to evacuate at any time if there is a change." ”

"I'll arrange it." Tang Yu clenched his fists and took his life.

When Long Xiang strode away, Cao Xuan whispered to Tang Yu for advice.

"Chief Tang, Cao Jun doesn't even have a shadow, and Qu Hou is ready to retreat? If General Qiao knew about it, wouldn't he be punished for the crime of cowardice? ”

Tang Yu shook his head and explained: "According to Yunqi, this is our combat style, we will go all out when we fight, but we are just ready to retreat at any time..."

"I don't understand it, but I'm shocked," Cao smiled awkwardly.

After being reminded by Long Xiang, Qiao Rui thought so, and he broke into the palace overnight regardless of etiquette.

At this time, Liu Chong's palace concubine had been occupied by the newly arrived Yuan Shu and was sleeping in the gentle countryside.

Yuan Shu was interested in winning Chen Guo, and he got drunk at the celebration banquet.

When there was a knock on the door, he thought that an enemy was coming, so he took his sword from the room and rushed out, only to find that it was the general Hashirui.

"Qiao Rui, are you going to rebel?"

At this time, Yuan Shu had already woken up, his sweet dreams and good mood were destroyed, and he looked at Qiao Rui in the moonlight, and his face was full of anger.

"Your Majesty forgives your sins, and there will be something important to start at the end."

Qiao Rui immediately threw away his saber and knelt down on one knee to plead guilty to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu raised his eyes and looked at Qiao Rui playfully.

"Something important? No matter how important it is, can you break into my dormitory? Let me tell you about it, but if you don't say it well, don't blame the widow for your crimes. ”

"Chen is two hundred miles away from Xudu, Your Majesty leads 50,000 troops here, Cao Cao will lead troops to attack when he knows the news, most of our army are new soldiers, I am afraid we can't fight with it, it is better to take advantage of Cao Cao's arrival, and directly move away the grain and property in Chen Guo's treasury..."

"Cao Cao is coming? You've drunk too much, haven't you? At the beginning of the year, Wancheng was defeated, but Zhang Xiu took Wuyang and other counties, and his troubles on the western front have not been resolved, and I did not intend to provoke him, and Cao Thief did not have the strength to manage Chen Guo. ”

"Your Majesty, the 50,000-strong army is only two hundred miles away from Xudu, isn't this a provocation? Can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch? ”

"Huh? Can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch? General Qiao can say such a witty word, it seems that you are secretly reading again? I forgive you for your innocence tonight, go back to sleep, Cao Cao won't come, and he won't come so soon. ”

Qiao Rui left King Chen's palace with regret.

On the road, he sighed that Yuan Shu took Long Xiang's words as a punchline, but he didn't know how to connect with reality, and he was afraid that a big war would be inevitable.

Yuan Shu was sure that Cao Cao would not come because he didn't know enough about Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's background was not worthy of his careful study.

Yuan Shu mistakenly thought that Zhang Xiu posed a threat to the southwest of Xudu, and Cao Cao would not venture to come to Chen to find him, but he didn't know that Cao Cao was the most adventurous among the princes.

Xingyang chased Dong Zhuo, Puyang met Lu Bu, Guandu fought Yuan Shao...

Cao Cao spent almost the first half of his life on adventures, but fate favored this adventurer.

The sentinel brought the news of Chen back to Xudu, and Cao Cao decided to send troops almost without thinking, and immediately summoned generals and advisers to deploy combat matters.

"This Yuan Shu is really a fool, let go of Sun Ce, who was betrayed by Jiangdong, and he just suffered a defeat in the hands of Lu Bu, and he actually secretly came to Xu Du? How can Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao be of the same heart as him? It seems that the memory of four years ago is not deep enough. ”

Cao Cao's opening was a teasing.

Guo Jia and Xun Yu glanced at each other, and said first: "My lord, I think that Yuan Shu captured Chen State, and he may not have the intention of wanting to make the capital. ”

"Oh? What is Bonghyo's opinion? ”

Cao Cao nodded and looked at Guo Jia appreciatively.

Guo Jia bowed his hand and replied: "According to the news sent back by Huainan Xizuo, Yuan Shu initially sent troops under the slogan of attacking Guangling, but he stayed in Huailing for a few days, and the army suddenly appeared in the territory of Chen State. ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "What Feng Xiao said is reasonable, the dry bones in this mound will actually use schemes, and I don't know if there are masters in Huainan, or Yuan Shuchang has a brain..."
