"Just asking, I don't like this person," Zhang Miao said indifferently, of course, he said in his heart that I don't like anyone who is raised by the so-called meritocracy.

This road is actually Cao Mengde crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

Zhang Miao smiled and said: "You originally promoted Cao Cao as the assassin of history, led the counties to quell the chaos, and used your fame and favor to run for him, why do you want to rebel now?" Could it be that Cao Mengde never promised you a high-ranking official and a bright future, so he was jealous? ”

mentioned Zhang Han, in fact, it also has something to do with Chen Gong, Zhang Miao always believes that with Chen Gong's original efforts to override public opinion, the incomprehensible efforts of the family, and the regret of celebrities, the position of Xizhong should be his, or Xun Yu's position.

But he was transferred to Shoudong County, which is intriguing, Cao Cao in addition to the idea of "meritocracy", but also known as "suspicious people do not need, use people without suspicion", in order to take on a foreign surname, show his mind.

There seems to be only one explanation for this arrangement: Cao Cao didn't believe him.

"I just recognize his ability to use soldiers, but he has the ambition of a thief, but he did harm Bian Gong."

"If it is harmful, it has been wept and mourned, but it is absolutely impossible to be decadent and wasted, and this tiger has entered because of me, and it should be expelled because of me."

Chen Gong was a young man who made friends with famous people all over the world, and his family had a relationship, and he elected Cao Cao in his early years to solve the chaos in Yanzhou, but he was heart-turned.

After hearing the idea of "meritocracy", the Confucian scholars who mainly made Bian Rang felt insulted, and their early praise for Chen Gong's wisdom turned into blame.

There's another stakeholder here.

Bian Rang is also a teacher and a friend for Chen Gong, and also has the grace of recommendation, this kindness is greater than the grace of the Emperor of Heaven at the moment, and there can be no slackness, Cao Cao killed Bian Rang, and he was destined to be hated by Yanzhou Rulin, which was incompatible.

Chen Gong thought about it, and habitually cheated.

And he is very talented, at a glance he can see that this is the best time, the soldiers and horses of Benzhou are marching eastward, and the territory is empty, only the important town of Puyang is covered with Xiahoudun soldiers and horses, and it is okay to defend the city. But it is impossible to block Zhang Miao and Lu Bu.

Zhang Miao pondered for a long time, thought about these words, and said slowly: "Actually, it's not your fault, you don't have such ability, and the public station doesn't have to take full responsibility on yourself." ”

"What gave Cao Cao a foothold in Yanzhou was the former East County Taishou Qiao Mao, the former Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao, and the Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin."

Chen Gong: "......"

He didn't refute, but everyone had a pole in their hearts, although he Chen Gong had some family resources, manpower, literary name and martial arts, but his role was not as good as Yuan, Qiao, Bao and others, and he also recognized it.

But at that time, he also did everything he could, tried his best to run for foreign cooperation, and appeased the opposition of many people, so that Cao Cao quickly ascended to the throne safely and was able to send troops to quell the thieves.

But as long as he was a little passive and slack at that time, he would not blame himself so much after Bian Rang's death.

Because the butcher's knife that killed Bian Rang seemed to have his part.

"Ming Gong, with your ability, you shouldn't be buried like this."

"I know," Zhang Miao smiled, "don't provoke me, I know this is the best time." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, hit it off, and decided to lead Lu Bu into Yanzhou, and at the same time lead him away from Zhang Yang, he can get a place, he is a martial artist, his personality is not deceitful, and he should be obedient to Wenchen.

At this time, the crisis and chaos in Yanzhou have just been decided, so he is the best candidate, maybe with him, he can get the opportunity to really dominate the industry.

Chen Gonglai's military strategy is very much in line with his mind no matter where it is, and there is only one point that is untrue: Zhang Miao does not have 100,000 soldiers.

Cao Cao abducted more than 3,000 villagers in Chenliujuntun for March, and only a few hundred Xinding entered the camp last year, not to mention those who abandoned Cao Cao and turned their heads......

Yi Dian Wei was the most impressive. That wine bag and rice bag can actually protect Cao Cao now.

……

Juancheng.

Under the dark night, a corner of the courtyard of Xunfu was lit high, and there were candles in it close to a case.

Xun Yu looked closely at the map in front of him, his expression was very serious, and his eyes shook slightly, obviously surprised by the dense annotations and simple explanations on the map.

Small arrows are also drawn, and as for the mountains, they are replaced by triangles, and the water is wavy, and the path drawn is even clearer.

He was shocked by the skill of this drawing, so shocked that he didn't know whether to scold or praise, except for Zhang Bochang, he couldn't think of anyone else who could come from this kind of thing.

Sitting in front of him was Cheng Yu, a gray-robed Confucian student, with a slightly fluttering beard and a fierce gaze, quietly waiting for Xun Yu's response.

"These maps are all given to you by Uncle Zhang?"

"That's right," Cheng Yu nodded, and said solemnly: "To be exact, when we were in Chen Liujuntun, we stayed for several months, and Bo Chang sometimes took the cavalry of the guard and the vanguard battalion of the army out to explore the way. ”

I've also been moved that I've been hiding it for him.

I didn't expect him to really do things outside of his duties, Bo Chang really worked hard for his merits, and he deserved to be so favored.

Xun Yu nodded and said indifferently: "Bo Chang is indeed different from ordinary people, and it is precisely because of this that getting along with him is more exciting, there are always surprises." ”

"For example, now," he raised his head and smiled, "the lord left three generals in Yanzhou, one is to secretly order the general to guard Puyang, and he has already prepared a secret guard against it, and has hoarded 30,000 stone grain and grass. ”

"The second is the son Cao Ang, when he swore to send troops, he announced that only 5,000 remnant soldiers and veterans were left for him to defend the city, but in fact there were 2,000 tigers and leopards to ride, and 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers were still in Dongjun."

"The third is, the soldiers and horses in Dong'e and Fan counties, there are Cao Xiu, Mao Jue and the foot, as for how many you can have, it depends on you."

Cheng Yu grabbed his chin and fluttering beard, and said, "Raise your family's wealth, call your friends, and thousands of people will follow." This is also due to the benevolent government that has always been implemented, as well as the meritocracy. ”

Xun Yu smiled: "In this case, these maps can come in handy, maybe this is the opportunity that Bo Chang left you to make meritorious contributions." ”

Cheng Yu's expression moved slightly, and he felt a little in his heart, and at the same time, a wave of spirit also surged from his heart.

……

In mid-March, soldiers and horses appeared outside Puyang, and the sentinels who were far away from the border immediately transmitted the news back to the city.

Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan brothers led 8,000 elite soldiers to guard, and the cavalry was only a few hundred, which was not good at field warfare, so they immediately built a high city wall and prepared heavy equipment to defend the city.

At night, Han Hao hurriedly walked in from outside the city gate, he was tall and long-armed, walked in the wind, wore a full helmet and clasped his hands into fists, and said in a deep voice: "Taishou, the news is correct, it is indeed going straight to Puyang, the outpost checkpoint has been released, and Lu Bu's army has arrived in the territory, and he has not returned since he left the city yesterday." ”

He paused for a moment and said, "His family is still in the city." ”

Xiahoudun raised his head and looked at each other, his eyes showed a stern look, and he sighed and said: "Send people to surround his mansion, treat his wife and children well, don't be contemptuous, and wait for Meng De to come back." ”

"Yes."

Han Hao nodded, and then said: "I should go to Lu Bu, and then the pass will be released, and ten flying horses have been sent to Xuzhou to inform the lord." ”

Xiahoudun chuckled, got up with a steady breath and ordered: "Order my troops to lie on the city wall, withdraw their defenses, and wait for them to shoot a salvo under Puyang City." ”

"Foot on the tower of the city and wait."

"The sandbags of the city and river were withdrawn after his army crossed the drawbridge, and the river was flooded with water, and the first battle caused the defeat of Lu Bu's army."

"Where's the pursuer?" Han Hao asked expectantly, that is the flying general Lu Bu, if he can chase and return, at least he can be famous in southern Hebei, Yan, Henan and some parts of central China!

"There are no pursuers," Xiahoudun's face turned pale, "We are only responsible for defending Puyang, and we must not go out on any errands." ”

He still remembered that before Cao Cao set out on the expedition, he reminded him three times not to be greedy for merit, never to lose the city and chase after him, and never give Lu Bu any chance.

"Yes!"

Han Hao clenched his fists and left immediately.

……

"Drive!"

"Drink!"

"Noisy!"

"!"

Outside the city gate, the cavalry that passed three passes in a row rushed to Puyang, led by the body riding a red horse, and the uneven cheers sounded under the moon, and the horse's hooves rolled like a drum.

Lu Bu was majestic and mighty, with powerful arms, wearing a dark robe, with cold armor on his body, a golden crown on his head, and a cold but powerful face.

Not long ago, when he was able to overlook the corner of Puyang City, Lu Bu ordered to stop, gasping slightly and showing an arrogant smile at the same time, "The foothold is tonight." ”

"The public platform came to me according to his words, and he is really a person who believes in his word."

After passing three levels in a row and entering the territory of Puyang, Lu Bu had already trusted Chen Gong to lay out everything, and then according to his strategy, he asked Zhang Miao to win over officials from all over the country.

On Lu Bu's side, a black-robed Confucian came on horseback and gasped: "Wen Hou, at this time, there are only a few thousand defenders in Puyang City, and Xiahou Dun has not noticed it. ”

"Good! Set Puyang today! Take this first win. Lu Bu was in high spirits, his eyes were slightly bright, this was the closest he had ever gotten to the foundation of the Great Cause, and he had to consider whether this was the only chance in his life.
