( ) This explanation is reasonable, and it can be seen that Chen Yan's reaction is indeed good, but although he explains it in this way, Jia Xu still feels that Chen Yan's expression is different.

Jia Xu's eyes were sharp, and he could naturally see that Chen Yan's face had changed drastically when he heard Queen Fu give birth to the dragon son, he was silent on the surface, but the center of his mind was turning and he had already understood something.

Chen Yan must have a ghost in his heart, otherwise Queen Fu gave birth to a prince, why was Chen Yan shocked?

However, Jia Xu is a smart person, he knows what to ask, what not to ask, what to know, and what not to know, so his eyes that are a little weather-stained are only half-open, and he smiled in a low voice.

Chen Yan was naturally not willing to spend more effort on this topic, and saw that Wang Dan was still standing aside, and hurriedly said: "By the way, inform General Xu Rong of Xiaopei and ask him to tidy up, let's march in two ways and go to Puyang." ”

When Wang Shan heard this, he knew that Chen Yan and Cao Cao's last stop in Yanzhou was about to start, and he was excited, so he hurriedly "took the order" and quickly retreated.

……

Chen Yan took the three cities of Dongjun, rested for a total of five days, five days later, the army was pulled out, and the four generals under the command of Huang Zhong, Yu Poison, Bai Rao, and Xu Chu were the first to open the way, Zhang Liao swept the formation, Chen Yan personally commanded the Chinese army, and the military division was assisted by Jia Xu, Chen Gong, and Sima Yi, leaving Guo Jia to recuperate in Dongjun, and the rest of the people marched towards Puyang.

After leaving Donggun, the heavy snow was not as severe as in the east, after all, it was just early winter, and the weather was not so cold, so there was no snow.

Chen Yan's sleigh was naturally transformed back into a horse-drawn carriage and ox cart, and he did not need this means of transportation at this time, and Chen Yan did not want Cao Cao to see his secret invention.

After all, Cao Cao was scheming, and when he saw the catapult, he was already able to paint the cat and the tiger, and although the power was slightly inferior, it was still very similar to the catapult. The strength of Cao Thief Cottage is really not to be underestimated!

After three days of marching, Chen Yan's army gradually arrived at Liyang. Chen Yan was riding on a horse at this time, looking into the distance through the flag, only to see a big river rolling eastward, the momentum was huge, quite shocking.

At this time, it was daytime, and the sun shone on the water, just reflecting the daylight on Chen Yanjun, and looking at it from a distance, he only felt that the river was sparkling and very bright.

Chen Yan saw it in his eyes, turned his head to the side of Chen Gong and asked, "Mr. Gongtai, is this the Yellow River?" ”

Chen Gong is a native of Yanzhou, and he can be said to know Yanzhou well, because Chen Yan feels that this big river is magnificent, and it is an inevitable natural danger in the battle, so he must ask clearly.

And this big river is so wide, I am afraid that only the Yellow River has such a magnificence.

Chen Gong listened to Chen Yan's question, raised his eyebrows, seemed a little strange, and replied, "The Yellow River? Could it be that the lord said that it was a big river? It's rare to hear the name of the Yellow River......"

Chen Yan listened to Chen Gong's answer, and only then did he react, there was no "Yellow River" and "Yangtze River" in ancient times, the Yellow River is "River", and the Yangtze River is "River", as for the Yellow River, the Yangtze River is a common name that gradually became common in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but looking at Chen Gong's reaction just now, it is obvious that he also knows what this "Yellow River" refers to, it seems that the name of the Yellow River has been used at this time, but it is not so commonly used.

Chen Yan was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, I mean the big river, I don't know if this river is a big river?" ”

After hearing this, Chen Gong smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "No, my lord, although this water is magnificent, it is not as wanton as the big river, it is not a big river, but Wei Shui." ”

"Wei Shui?" Chen Yan felt strange in his heart, he didn't seem to have heard of such a river.

Chen Gong smiled slightly, but he didn't care, Chen Yan was not from Yanzhou, if it wasn't for Chen Gong's erudition and knowledge, naturally he didn't know, Chen Yan didn't know, naturally it was not surprising.

He coughed lightly and slowly explained: "This water is not a tributary of a large river, so the water is not turbulent, and there are few floods, but it is a beloved water, and is often regarded by the locals as a symbol of abundance; In addition to Liyang, this water also flows through Montenegro, and General Zhang Yan under the command of the lord once settled in the grass in Montenegro, so he naturally knows this river well. ”

When Chen Yan heard this, he realized that this Weishui was not a tributary of the Yellow River, and it was also inextricably linked with the Black Mountain thief Zhang Yan. It's a pity that Zhang Yan is still stationed in Chenliu County at this time, so he can't come over to explain, but the two living treasures under his command, Yu Poison and Bai Rao, are here, if you are free for a while, you can ask the two of them.

However, Chen Yan couldn't help but have a headache when he thought of these two people messing around, and he really didn't want to talk to them too much.

Chen Gong also saw the doubts in Chen Yan's heart, those two living treasures were really noisy, thinking of this, he shook his head with a wry smile and was silent.

Gradually, Chen Yan and the others arrived fifty miles outside Liyang City, which was not only far away from Liyang City, but also separated by a guard water, saying that it was not easy to attack the past.

Considering that most of the soldiers were tired, Chen Yan immediately decided to set up camp for the time being, and then let the spies go to Liyang to find out the news.

In the blink of an eye, the first batch of spies has returned, and the military camp of Chen Yan's army has taken shape for the time being, but if you want to rest, you still need a lot of work.

Chen Yan handed over the construction project to Zhang Liao and Sima Yi, and immediately brought Jia Xu and Chen Gong to meet the spies.

The two spies are both young people, one is from Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army, and the other is a cavalryman from the Yue Cavalry Battalion in Chang'an City, both of whom are trustworthy people of Chen Yan.

After some briefing, Chen Yan roughly knew that there were about 50,000 Cao troops stationed in Liyang at this time, and 50,000 was not a small number, and at present, it probably accounted for more than 40% of Cao Cao's total military strength, and it could be seen that Cao Cao was very concerned about Liyang.

Chen Yan frowned, since the garrison in Liyang City is so strong, then needless to say, the person stationed in Liyang must be a strong general, not only the guard is a strong general, I am afraid that the strategist who assists him is definitely not a weak hand.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan couldn't help but ask, "Can you find out who is stationed here?" ”

Among them, the little cavalry from the Yue cavalry battalion spoke with a thick Chang'an accent, and quickly replied: "Returning to the lord, it is Xiahoudun!" ”

"Xiahoudun!"

Hearing this, Chen Gong couldn't help but gasp, Chen Yan naturally showed surprise on his face, only Jia Xu was still calm, his eyes were still open and closed, and he didn't suppress his eyes at all.

Chen Gong's brows were tightly locked, and he seemed to be a little anxious, Chen Yan looked at Jia Xu with an old monk's settled appearance, and asked, "Mr. Jia Xu, why do you think this Cao Cao asked Xiahou to come to garrison Liyang?" Isn't it a bit tricky for us to be such a fierce general? ”

Unexpectedly, Jia Xu's eyes were still half-closed, and the expression on his face was not arrogant or impatient, and he said slowly: "It was expected." ”
