So why do you need to ask Lu Lian in person, "Are you leaving?"

Besides, as long as she is a person who understands, she will know that Lu Lian will definitely leave, and the difference is only in whether she goes north or south.

Cao Cao really wanted her to go north, and he even considered many ways to induce her to go north.

As long as she has the intention of attacking Ye, this former old opponent is confident that she will leave her remaining soldiers and horses in Jizhou forever, and she is even more confident that she will also benefit from this encirclement and suppression of Lu Lian, and even regain her strength;

But he also had to take into account other possibilities, such as Lu Lian's sudden attack on Puyang, cutting off Yuan Shao's back road, so that the Jizhou army could not continue, so he had to divide his troops to help, Guo Jia also wrote a letter for this, and prepared Lu Lian to write to Puyang as soon as he started;

Of course, the most troublesome one is that Lu Lian gave up Jizhou, and after solving Chun Yuqiong's Western Route Army, he waved his troops south and surrounded Yuan Shao with Liu Bei.

As he thought so, a scout came running back from outside.

"My lord! Lu Lian has a front army of 3,000, and he has left White Horse City and is heading south! ”

The little commander let out a sound of annoyance.

But he quickly adjusted his mood.

"Bring the generals, and tell them that our army will also go south," he cried as if self-deprecating, "and she crosses the river, and I will cross the river!" ”

When the soldiers inside and outside Liyang City began to pack their luggage in a hurry, the woman in the back house had just received the news, and her husband had come to tell her in person.

These women have lively temperaments and quiet temperaments, but the unified characteristics are that they are all well-behaved and obedient, and probably those who are not obedient will not be able to stay in Cao Cao's back house, for example, Mrs. Ding, who is very temperamental, reconciled with Cao Cao because of the matter of her eldest son Cao Ang, and now Mrs. Bian, who is in charge of the feed, has a much softer temperament.

Although it was very gentle, the lady immediately panicked when she heard her husband's command.

"What do you want?" She exclaimed, "I haven't had time to send someone to deliver Gorou's winter coat yet." ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, "Wulang was captured by Lu Lian, how do you send it?" ”

"Naturally, it was sent to Lu Lianjun," the lady casually brought over a burqa that the maidservant girl was about to pack, and showed it to her husband, "There is also this one, this one is for her, and thank her for being polite to our Wulang." ”

Her husband tilted his head, crossed his waist, and stood there looking up and down at the gorgeous burqa with white flowers on a red background, his face changed from face to place, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, and finally choked back.

"Don't be busy," he said in a strange voice in his throat, "and we'll find a chance to thank her." ”

Chapter 535

The sky was overcast, and it hadn't snowed yet, but the wind was already very hard, and it blew on my face and hands, and in a few moments, I scraped many tiny cracks like knives.

In such gloomy weather, no matter what patterns were embroidered on the flag, what words were written, or what colors were dyed, there was no way to make people angry.

Sima Yi looked at the shadows of the mountains around him, like evil spirits swaying back from the netherworld, they followed the team not far away, staring at it with gloomy eyes, talking about it in a frozen whisper, and when he was not paying attention, a scarlet and slender hand quietly approached.

That "hand" is another team.

It is not far from this army, and it is extremely patient.

Lu Lian walked slowly, and even stopped, it walked slowly, and then gradually stopped.

Lu Lian ordered to go faster, it was not tempted at all, and still walked unhurriedly.

In this way, Lu Lian will be able to get rid of it.

But the homeless people can't be left behind.

They would cry in panic, leave their belongings, food, rice and clothes, and even throw a few crying children on the side of the road, desperately trying to catch up with General Xiaolu's team.

When they caught up, some of them had even lost their shoes in the snow, barefoot and bare-eyed, looking desperately at those who had bought their snacks and used their dry wood and hot water.

Those people followed Lu Lian, and they also gave birth to soft hearts, and when they saw the embarrassed appearance of these homeless people, they would also have red circles in their eyes, and their lips trembled and they couldn't speak.

So Lu Lian stopped again, and turned the team, ready to cut off the "hand".

It immediately retreated into the cold, dark shadows of the mountains.

The people were able to return to the dirt road, weeping and laughing, rummaging through the snow and dirt for their belongings and their children, and then holding it in their arms, kissing and kissing, tears flowing. There are even people who kiss their broken straw sandals in such a gaffe, and then wear them on their feet indifferently in the mocking words of others.

The sun went down quickly, and they were able to erect a shack out of their belongings that would not freeze to death. The shack was leaning against the perimeter of the camp, and General Xiao Lu would send a team of soldiers to maintain order and patrol the vicinity.

After such a terrible day, they fell asleep exhausted after eating the barnyard rice boiled in the snow, and in their sleep there were children who could not stop burping, perhaps caused by eating too quickly, or perhaps by crying too much.

The soldiers, too, were so tired that they slept in their tents, which were not very warm, so that the humble camp had only the sound of torches and the footsteps of the patrolling soldiers, and it was silent in this very cold and dark night.

Wind blew through the tents.

The mountains were hidden in the night, and in the distance, watching the camp.

Behold, behold, the voice of the cold wind was sharp and sharp, and the scarlet hand was stretched out again!

Someone who heard the shrill laughter suddenly woke up from his dream, and when he lifted the hay from the hut and looked out, he suddenly screamed in fright!

"Look!" The outcasts cried, "Here they are again! ”

Where the morning sun had not even risen, at the junction of sky and night, where the foggy shadows were deepest and thickest, the slender and thin "hand" was once again quietly stretched out towards them.

Lu Hangyu has been annoyed by that hand for a day, and this is the first day.

When her whole army turned around, the rear army changed to the front army, and was about to pounce on it, the opposite side ran very fast, and it was not as fast as she fled in a panic, but as fast as she was prepared.

He didn't leave a single piece of armor or a blade, and even if there were homeless people behind him who didn't give up looking in the snow where the soldiers and horses walked, they only found a few copper coins.

The other party's rabbit generally escaped ten miles, and he didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with giving her 20,000 troops to walk around.

…… Those copper coins are still trimmed.

…… It's really shameless.

…… Considering that such a shameless person is Boss Cao, the whole thing is even more black humor and more troublesome.

Cao Cao's troops were not much, only 5,000 people, but he was able to make up 3500 cavalry, although there were fewer pack horses, but it was already very remarkable.

Obviously, it is rumored that Cao Cao was hit by Yuan Shao and Xu You's set of "Dispatch and Allocation of Longyou", and only more than 1,000 veterans of Qian County remained, and it has only been a few days!

She couldn't imagine how Cao Cao communicated with the Jizhou Shi clan to come to these horses, it was a negotiation skill that her 5 charming dogs couldn't reach. But in any case, he regained a lot of strength and followed her with great patience, which became a problem.

Because the road she went from Baima to Zhecheng overlapped with Yuan Shao's supply line, which meant that there were only towns and roads heavily guarded by Yuan Shao along the way, and she was at risk before and after this way, and she couldn't withstand the addition of a patient Boss Cao who followed behind.

Now there are still ten miles away from Changyuan, and in front of it is the city controlled by Yuan Shao, and if she doesn't think about disposing of Cao Cao, she will have to risk being besieged by the defenders of Changyuan and Cao Cao together.

"Let's set up an ambush for him and break it in one fell swoop, how about it?" Tai Shici put forward an idea.

Sima Yi immediately perfected this idea, "Maybe you can also set up an ambush to lure him in, if he doesn't enter, we can also set up ambushes frequently......"

"Then we'll march more slowly." She reminded.

Sima Yi's eyes moved quickly, but his whole face didn't seem to change at all.

"It's a poor thought out." He apologized softly.

…… Is this ill-conceived, or does she just want Yuan Shao and Liu Bei to fight for a while, so that she can go over to the fisherman to benefit?

She couldn't hold back, "I have a friend who is like-minded with you, and I must introduce you to you another day." ”

Sima Yi was stunned for a moment, "Who is the name of the general's friend, and where is it now?" ”

The name is a bit strange and can't be said, but now it's in her baggage, this one is certain.

"Cao Cao is suspicious, if we set up an ambush, I'm afraid he won't be fooled," Zhang Liao said, "It's better to do the opposite, assuming an ambush and making it stay here, we can calmly go south." ”

The proposal was unanimously approved by everyone, they looked at her, she looked at them.

"Then let's try."

Lu Lian's soldiers and horses are close to Changyuan.

It is said that there was a minister named Chang Hui in the former Han Dynasty who went to the Western Regions several times, and defeated the Xiongnu and made great contributions, so he was named the Marquis of Changluo, and Changyuan was his fief.

But after Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, the Marquis of Changluo was removed, and Changyuan gradually became an inconspicuous small place. Until Xu You went south, adhering to the principle of "the boss's money is not money", he ordered the military generals stationed here to repair the city, so the small city that was not more than a foot high also had a bit of a heavily guarded temperament.

There weren't many defenders here, and it was only used as a transit point for transporting food, so it would only be a fortification if the soldiers who came with it were stationed in the city...... But Lu Lian won't know about this kind of thing.

Her scout hurried over, looked at him at a distance, and then came close enough for the defenders to shoot him two arrows, and return with the arrows from his armor.

In this way, Lu Lian is likely to make a wrong judgment, such as that she needs to deal with the soldiers and horses that follow here.

"Lure me into battle?"

"Xu is to lure Ming Gong to fight," Xun You said, "Lu Lian's soldiers are well fed, and there are fierce generals like Zhang Liaotai Shi Ci, she can set up an ambush on the road, and when Ming Gong approaches, she has already entered the middle of the army." ”

He held out a finger and lightly drew a circle in a blur on the map.

"There is a mountain here, named Yangshan," Xun Yu nodded on a long ink mark, "There is Daze water flowing into the Yellow River." ”

Together, several of them cast their eyes on the perfect place for an ambush, and some of them offered several ideas, suggestions, and questions.

"If Lu Lian has already seen through the fact that Changyuan has no defenders, what will happen?"

Xun You touched his beard, "She can't see through it." ”

Why can't he see through it, Xun You refused to explain more, and only continued to talk about his thoughts.

In Xun You's opinion, they don't need to pursue winning more with less at all and fighting a decisive battle with Lu Lian.

As long as they maintain this posture of being an enemy of Lu Lian, the scholars in Jizhou will naturally be generous, and Yuan Shao will also have to make great concessions and ask this old friend who has been let down by himself to help him again.

In this way, the money, food and base areas will be easily solved, as long as the lord survives the most dangerous moment in the early days, and can prove to the Yanzhou people that he will continue to stay in the Central Plains, those Yanzhou families at both ends of the snake and mouse will be difficult to do.

…… They may have to become snake rats at the trio.

Based on this starting point, Xun You thought that they could bluff in Changyuan, confront Lu Lian's ambush for a while, and make the illusion that the defenders of Changyuan would also go out of the city to encircle and suppress, so that Lu Lian would flee in fear.

Of course, Lu Lian, as a famous general in the world, may really jump out and prepare for a decisive battle with them to maintain his undefeated reputation, but who will really fight her?

Ming Gong's soldiers and horses will definitely run far away when she arrives, if she wants to fight, she will go to fight Yuan Benchu's Changyuan! It's not their city anyway, just fight!

"Nope." Cao Cao suddenly said, "Lu Lian is very different from the others. ”

Several strategists and generals looked at the lord of the upper place together.

It's not that he doesn't have a chance to win at all, it's just that now that his strength is reversed, he needs to cherish every attack he makes, and he can't use his forces like he did when he attacked Xu Zhou.

"We've got to figure out a way to give her a try." He said.

Xiahoudun frowned and asked puzzledly, "How to try?" ”

"I have a young son, who was lost in the chaos of the army, and he was gained by Lu Lian, and this son is very much loved by me," he said, "and what if I send an envoy to Lu Lian's army with a gift?" ”

Although it was not a glorious thing to say, Cao Cao looked extremely calm, even with a slight smile.

He stretched out his hand, which was neither slender nor thin, and gently grasped the red lacquer cup, so that the hand was also stained with a scarlet halo.
