On the grounds that he needed to supplement grain and grass, and Dongjun had been slightly accepted by the Xianbei people, he went south from Guandu to Yanzhou and "ate everywhere".

Yan Rou couldn't control it, so the Wuhuan people wantonly burned and looted in Yanzhou, burned down villages, looted men and women, and everywhere they went, they were ruined everywhere, and they no longer heard the sound of chickens and dogs barking, and there was a dead silence.

She couldn't help but snort.

Xun Yu's speech stopped very abruptly.

"What does the general mean?"

"The noodles are in a hurry," she said, "and my stomach hurts." ”

Xun Yu stared at her silently.

"The general doesn't care about the people of Yanzhou?"

"With Meng Degong here, why did Wen Ruo come to look for me?"

"My lord is at war with Liu Xuande," Xun Yu said calmly, "although Juancheng has the strength to protect itself, but can not save the people from fire and water, I know that the general has a reputation for loving the people, and he will not bear to turn hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Yanzhou into white bones, so he came to ask the general to send volunteers and break the Hulu." ”

He said it so calmly, so firmly, so naturally.

…… This superficial logic cannot be said to be wrong, everyone is a Han army, and it is one thing for the inside and another thing for the outside.

…… But the inner logic is still a simple and crude moral kidnapping, since you love the common people very much, then you can do the dirty work.

…… Yes, I know that we are still enemies, and your Lord is fighting my Lord to the death, but I can still kidnap you with this set.

…… She was tempted to say, "The Lord doesn't care."

Xun Yu came to the tent to ask for troops, but the other generals who ate noodles did not leave.

She just wanted to refuse, but suddenly Zhang Liao gave her a look.

“…… It's a big deal," she said, "and let me think again." ”

"Yanzhou's soldiers and horses are exhausted." Zhang Liao was the first to speak.

"This may be Cao Cao's plan to lead the water to the east." Zhao Yun spoke secondly.

Gao Shun didn't speak.

When she asked curiously, Gao Shun sighed, but still didn't speak.

"Gao Boxun knows that he can't do this," Zhang Liao explained for him, "He just loves to beat Hu people." ”

…… Got it.

The three generals in the tent all felt that it was not good, but before she made a judgment, she was still a little curious about what Sima Yi said.

After hearing that Cangtingjin had broken the beard, the big family Sima continued on the road, leaving only the little Sima with a particularly flexible neck.

This person is not familiar with her, and usually does not interact with many people, I heard that when I am fine, I like to fall on the couch, lie flat and pretend to be a dead dog, and now she enters the tent, this brother is actually sitting on the bed neatly dressed, and when he sees her come in, he smiles.

"When I heard that Xun Wen was coming, I knew that the general would summon him to go to the Chinese military tent."

"No," she said, "I'm full, and I'm here." ”

Sima Yi didn't care at all, "Xun Yu is here, what is the matter?" ”

"Wuhuan didn't enter Dongjun, but went south to Yanzhou," she said, "Yanzhou is empty now, and he's here for it." ”

"Gyeonggi is ruined, and there is Xingyang Pass, Wuhuan will not want to cross the river from Luoyang," Sima Yi pondered for a while, "Could it be Guandu?" ”

"I guessed quite accurately," she exclaimed, "how can I call Xiao Zhuge a sentence!" ”

The young scholar, who was about the same age as Zhuge Liang, was stunned for a while, "General, what is this saying?" ”

…… Cough.

Xun Yu came here and revealed a few pieces of news.

First, he was not controlled by Yan Rou, so he plundered and harmed the people of the Han Dynasty;

The second is that Boss Cao has taken away most of the soldiers and horses in Yanzhou, and there is no way to repel the Wuhuan people alone by relying on Xun Yu and Xiahoudun;

The third is that Xun Yu inadvertently emphasized that although they did not have enough troops to fight a decisive battle with the Wuhuan people, the cage city could still be defended, and if they wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob and capture Juancheng, it would definitely be impossible.

"Xun Wenruo said that he was not subject to Yan Rou's control," Sima Yi asked, "how did he know?" ”

"Since Cao Cao and Yuan were allies in the first place, they should naturally not plunder the territory of their own allies."

It wasn't really dark outside, and there were soldiers walking around, holding the bowls they had eaten and shouting about washing the dishes, so it made people feel that the sky outside the tent was unusually bright.

And Sima Yi lit a small lamp in the tent, and the fire was naturally no match for the sun that would be slanting to the west outside, and it would only shake occasionally, making it seem that the face that was not ugly was cold, and it was inexplicably a little scary.

Especially after listening to her thoughts, this person smiled gloomily, which was even more terrifying, and it dropped twice in the tent for no reason.

"If you are not controlled by Yan Rou, can you still not be controlled by Yuan Shao?" Sima Yi said, "The Wuhuan people are different from Xianbei, although they act aggressively, they are desperate for Yuan Shao, if Yuan Shao is bent on attacking Dongjun, how can he disobey?" ”

She thought for a moment.

"Why did the general take Dongjun?" Sima Yi asked again, "Could it be that you have taken a fancy to this piece of land that does not border Qingxu and are bent on running here?" ”

“…… But Yanzhou is Cao Cao's territory after all, how can Yuan Shao use Yanzhou as a battlefield like me? ”

The corners of Sima Yi's mouth curled, "Yuan Shao has given Cao Cao a helping hand five times, even if he is sincere, what will happen to the strategists under the account?" ”

If it is said that Yuan Gong is determined to establish a new dynasty when he goes south this time, these strategists naturally have the merit of following the dragon - what about Cao Cao? What about Cao Cao's scribes and generals?

Yuan Gong listened to Cao Mengde's words like this, asking for money and food, and soldiers for soldiers, if he became an emperor in the future, Cao Mengde would have the first credit in the sky?

She had probably figured out the thoughts of Badun and the Jizhou people behind him:

Turning Yanzhou into an outpost of the Jizhou army, it can also cut off her retreat, starting from Yanzhou, Jin Ke can launch an all-round attack on Qingxu, retreat can surround Dongjun, gradually tighten the encirclement, and completely annihilate the more than 30,000 troops in Dongjun.

"This is actually nothing of a hindrance to Xun Yu, and it is not the worst result." She said.

"Not bad." Sima Yi said with a smile, "Even if Yuan Shao defeats Liu Xuande and expells you from Qingxu, there are Liu Biao Sun Ce to the south, and Liu Zhang, Ma Teng and others to the west, it will take time for him to chase the Central Plains, but as long as he is ill and leaves the sons to fight for power, Jizhou will definitely be in chaos." ”

"At that time, Cao Cao will naturally have a chance, and even have a chance to take over Hebei completely." She said, "So for Xun Yu, there is no need to come and beg me. ”

In the previous question, they probably guessed why he was acting this way.

The next question, why did Xun Yu come to beg her to send troops?

She had a rather martial arts answer.

"Cao Cao and my lord are just attacking each other, the morale of the army is not a trivial matter, those soldiers also have families, at this time, I heard that the parents, wives and children of the family were looted and killed by the Wuhuan people, where do they have the heart to continue fighting?"

In order for the morale of the front line not to collapse, Xun Yu could not let the rear be ransacked.

Sima Yi thought about it and nodded seriously.

"What the general says is true."

She looked at him.

"Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Xiao Sima, who was inexplicably gloomy as soon as she thought about the problem, was silent for a while, and a look on her face that made her feel very unfamiliar.

is different from his often superficial, even a little deliberate etiquette and politeness, and it is also different from the ruthlessness when he sacrifices his plan to kill those humble heads.

He seemed a little dazed and a little sad, but finally looked at her very calmly.

"I just feel ......," he said, "Xun Wenruo will come to find the general, just because what he said is indeed what he thinks." ”

Is Xun Yu Cao Cao's courtier, or Han Chen?

Unlike the loyalty of the judge who resolutely only recognized Yuan Gong and did not recognize the Son of Heaven, Xun Yu's loyalty was not absolute.

He not only wanted to help Cao Gong, but also wanted to help the Han family and return the world to peace.

…… But what if these two ideas drift apart, or even go against each other?

Someone walked outside the tent, and a gust of wind was raised, and the curtain moved gently, so that the copper bean lamp in the tent also flashed.

But Xun Yu didn't move.

He sat upright in the corner of the tent, his face facing the tattered tarpaulin cover, so that not even the slightest light shone on his countenance.

He sat in silence, letting every part of his body cried out for their exhaustion and pain, and instead of relaxing himself from the pain, he immersed himself in the pain.

It was like the cold waters of a lake that drowned him in it, and made him feel a kind of spiritual happiness that was temporarily relieved from suffering and anxiety.

Chapter 404

While Xun Yu was pondering, Lu Hangyu was also pondering.

It was very stuffy in the dimly lit small tent, so although Sima Yi was very reluctant to go out and walk around, he still got up and followed Lu Hangyu out for a walk to breathe.

…… I didn't forget to ask the servants to follow behind me when I went out, and I didn't bring anything else, but I had to bring a bed.

…… In fact, it is "Maza".

"The general should indeed carefully consider the pros and cons," Sima Yi said very understandingly, "The general's army, although there are many but mixed, and the border with Yuan Shao's land is extremely long, so you must not ignore it." ”

She turned her head to look at him, "Does Zhongda think he should send troops, or should he not send troops?" ”

"Xun Yu took the initiative to ask for it, if the general wants to take Yanzhou, he should naturally send troops."

How many benefits are of sending troops, Sima Yi can give her a list of one, two, three, four or five - of course, it is impossible to save the people of Yanzhou, and Sima Yi has not considered the option of "working for nothing" at all.

All his considerations were to use Yanzhou as the second front line against Yuan Shao, where to deploy defenses, where to increase troops, and where to divide troops with Zhang Fei's Xuzhou army, or merge into one.

All in all, if you can confront Yuan Shao across the Yellow River, it will definitely be better than defending Dongjun in the back of the water now!

As soon as he spoke like this, before he knew it, the two men had led four or five soldiers and servants out of the camp and rode to a dirt slope near the Yellow River.

On the other side of the river is Yanzhou, where there is smoke curling and women standing at the entrance of the village and scolding their children loudly; There are children who are dragging the old cow who is not willing to return to the shed, and scolding the old cow loudly; There is also a dejected merchant, and when he picks it up with a flat pole, it still looks heavy.

Xun Yu wanted to save them, she thought, if it was the same her before, two or three years ago, four or five years ago, or even earlier, she might not hesitate to put on the black blade on her back and rush over to kill a special kill, anyway, when she couldn't kill, she would run away.

At that time, she was still a "lack of swords", a swordsman, a ranger, and of course, if you complimented her, she could also be called a "sword god".

But after all, she is a person who kills people single-handedly, and no one expects too much from her.

She now has soldiers and horses, has a reputation, and even has a knight, she is no longer the Qianshou Lu hanging fish who kills pigs in the market, but Ji Ting Hou Lu Lian, who eats Hanlu and has 300 households in Tianyi, so Zhang Miao will ask her to guide her in the art of war, and the Son of Heaven will take the initiative to hint that she is willing to form an alliance with her, and even Xun Yu came to ask her to save the people of Yanzhou.

So, can she save it?

If she had an infinite number of troops, she thought, if her army was not made up of living people, but was "planted" in some "base" with resources such as food, cloth, and money, she might have the courage to be the enemy of the world.
