Xu Du.

Xunfu.

Xun Yu, who had been busy all day, came back from Shangshutai and saw Ma Teng sitting in the hall with Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, Yan Xing, and Han Sui's second son, Han Hao.

Seeing Xun Yu coming back, everyone stood up one after another.

Ma Teng hugged Xun Yu and said, "Xun Lingjun, I'm bothered." It's really boring in Xudu, so walk around. ”

Xun Yu smiled and nodded: "General Ma can come to the cold house, and it will be shining!" ”

The servant brought tea and pastries and put them in front of Xun Yu.

Xun Yu knelt down and sat down, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and asked, "General Ma, are you here this time-"

Ma Teng smiled and said, "That's the case, Xun Lingjun, you see, we've been here for so long, and we haven't heard from the dog and the little girl for a long time." ”

"Although the dog has passed the age of the weak crown, he has never led a soldier alone before."

"The heroes in Guanzhong are all uncles and uncles."

"I'm really afraid that he will be arrogant and offend them."

"Also, the little girl is also naughty and willful."

Xun Yu laughed and put down the teacup.

Since Ma Teng and the others came to Xudu, their contact with Liangzhou has indeed been controlled, just in case.

This is why Zhong Xuan is very powerful, and he can let them come over.

If you are yourself, you may not be able to do it.

Xun Yu soothed: "General Ma, don't worry, there is no news over there for the time being, which shows that Ling Lang and Ling Ai have done a good job." Otherwise, Captain Si Li would have reported a long time ago. ”

Ma Teng snorted, took out a letter from his sleeve, respectfully handed it to Xun Yu and said: "I want to trouble Xun Lingjun for one more thing, this is a letter written by a few of us to the dog and the little girl, after all, the three dynasties were not with them last year, please trouble Xun Lingjun to help." ”

Xun Yu took the letter, hid it in his sleeve and said, "General Ma, don't worry, I will send the post station tomorrow and let the officials expedite." ”

Ma Teng was leaving.

Two figures walked outside.

A young man with a very immature face, a subordinate.

Ma Teng was about to get up and leave.

Xun Yu smiled and said: "General Ma, it's okay, they are all here to report on their work, and they will leave later." We're all here, we'll have a meal together. ”

Ma Teng sat down again and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey!" ”

The young man and his servant entered.

The two saluted in unison.

The young man said: "Li Dian has seen Xun Lingjun!" ”

Xun Yu said: "Everything at home has been arranged? How many people did you bring in? ”

Li Dian said: "Thank you Xun Lingjun for your concern, everything at home has been arranged." This time, I brought 2,000 parts, and the men in the family, from 12 to 40 years old, came. ”

Xun Yu nodded and said, "Your uncle and cousin both died in battle for the imperial court, and they are full of loyalty. ”

"Although you have always said that you don't want to be an official, your Li family must have someone to take the lead, and it must continue."

"Before Sikong set out for the official crossing of the Three Dynasties last year, he repeatedly emphasized to me that he would give your Li family the opportunity to make meritorious contributions."

"So, whether you want to accept it or not, for the sake of your Li family, you have to work hard to complete the task."

Li Dian hugged his fists and said, "On the way I came, I have already figured it out, Xie Xun Lingjun taught!" ”

Xun Yu was relieved: "It's best to figure it out." ”

"This mission is a bit difficult, that is, to transport a batch of grain from Xudu to Guandu."

"Yuan Shao's cavalry has been elusive lately, and they often run long distances, you have to pay attention."

"This batch of grain is related to the rations of the soldiers at the front, and it is extremely important, do you understand what I mean?"

Li Dian said: "Xun Lingjun rest assured, on the way I came, I had already learned the sand table from Jiangdong, and specially made a sand table from Xudu to Guandu, studied day and night, and knew the terrain well." I will be careful to transport the food and never make a mistake. ”

Xun Yu said with satisfaction: "Okay, then you go to rest, and tomorrow, you will go to the warehouse to count." ”

Li Dian saluted again and withdrew.

Ma Teng curiously glanced at Li Dian's distant figure and asked Xun Lingjun: "Xun Lingjun, this person is very young?" It's only fifteen or sixteen, right? At such a small age, take over the responsibility of the family? Moreover, Sikong personally named him? ”

Xun Yu sighed and said, "It's very young, but there is no way." ”

"His uncle and cousin were both old ministers who followed Sikong, and they were very loyal, but in the end, they all died on the battlefield."

"His generation in the family is no longer capable."

"Without him, his family may be in decline."

"Sikong doesn't want to be so loyal and brave The old minister's family has declined, so he can only forcibly name him."

Looking at Ma Teng, Xun Yu said: "General Ma, although Sikong's reputation is not very good, and he has indeed done some wrong things, Sikong has always been courteous to important ministers of the court. ”

Ma Teng hurriedly said: "I, Ma Teng and Han Sui, both support the imperial court and Sikong!" ”

Xun Yu then looked down at the lower human: "What's the matter?" ”

The subordinate stepped forward quickly, took out a bamboo tube from his sleeve, and respectfully presented it with both hands: "The urgent letter from Jiangdong Wu County has just been sent by the officials of Shangshutai. ”

Xun Yu frowned, and said angrily: "Why didn't Jiangdong Wujun say the urgent letter earlier?" Waste your efforts! ”

Hurriedly snatched the bamboo tube from the hands of the subordinates, took out the cloth strip in it, opened it, and quickly glanced at it, Xun Yu's face was so gloomy that he could drip water.

Ma Teng asked tentatively, "Xun Lingjun?" ”

Xun Yu directly threw the strip of cloth at Ma Teng.

Xun Yu has always been gentle and elegant, and it is the first time since Ma Teng came to Xudu that he has seen him lose his temper so much.

Puzzled, Ma Teng picked up the strip of cloth and glanced at it.

The next moment, he almost passed out.

Ma Tie and Ma Xiu hurriedly stepped forward, hugged him and said, "Father! ”

Ma Xiu took the strip of cloth from Ma Teng's hand, glanced at it, and said in a lost voice: "Impossible!" When pigs fly! My brother is famous for his filial piety in Liangzhou, it is impossible for him to do such a thing! ”

Yan Xing's face changed slightly, and he also stepped forward quickly, took the strip of cloth, and glanced at it.

His mouth trembled slightly.

Looking at Xun Yu, Yan Xing's breath became rapid and said, "Impossible, Xun Lingjun!" My second son and I are still in Xudu, how can my father-in-law unite with Ma Chao to rebel against the imperial court and prepare for a surprise attack on Chang'an? This is definitely a frame-up! ”

Xun Yu said with a gloomy face: "You can see clearly who wrote this letter!" It was written by Wu Hou himself! ”

Yan Xing's legs and feet were a little weak.

He is ambitious and unpaid, but now he is going to be killed by Han Sui's old thief in this Xu Capital?

In the early years, he didn't want to marry Han Sui's old thief's daughter at all, but Han Sui saw that he was very brave and forced him to marry, and said that he would pass on the family business to himself.

Now, but this one?

Yan Xing looked at Han Hao, Han Sui's second son, deadly.

Han Hao met Yan Xing's cannibalistic gaze, and also hurriedly snatched the strip of cloth and looked at it.

His hands and feet were cold.

I've always heard of someone cheating on his father, but he didn't expect that his father would clove himself!

Han Hao looked at Xun Yu, looked at the other party's gloomy face, and raised his head and screamed.

Now when I encounter this situation, I will definitely die.

Rather than waiting to be tortured and killed, it is better to judge yourself.

Han Hao shed tears and said to Xun Lingjun: "I know that no matter what I say at this moment, it will look pale. Trouble Sikong will see my father in the future, and ask for me, he is so harmful to the child, how can he meet the child when he goes to the Yellow Spring? ”

After speaking, he directly pulled out his saber and killed himself on the spot.

Xun Yu looked at Han Hao's corpse lying in a pool of blood, let out a long breath, and said, "Come on, take them all into the dungeon, lock them up, and wait for Sikong to come back and adjudicate!" ”

Ma Teng's eyes darkened, and he fell straight down.

Outside, dozens of subordinates rushed in, dragged Han Hao's body down, and then tied up Yan Xing, the unconscious Ma Teng, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie.

As he was dragged out, Matthew wailed: "My brother is definitely not this kind of person, he is famous for his filial piety, he will never betray us like this!" Please Xun Lingjun to be clear! Please Xun Lingjun to be clear! Otherwise, we will not be blind! We don't blink to death! ”

Xun Lingjun watched Ma Teng and the others being dragged down, so he asked his subordinates to take pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and quickly write down the letter, so that people could send it to Guandu in a hurry.

Wu Hou sent this letter urgently, and more than ten days have passed.

Chang'an is absolutely finished!

Now he must be alerted immediately to guard against a flanking attack from the west!

After Xun Yu asked people to deliver the letter, he kept watching his footsteps in the hall.

After a while, he stopped, and urgently wrote another letter, in which he stated the stakes between Jiangdong and the imperial court, and then asked people to send it to Xiangyang, Jingzhou, to find Zhu Zhi, the pastor of Jingzhou.

Xu Dudu was already empty, and he couldn't mobilize troops and horses to defend at all.

Now we can only hope that Jingzhou will send troops from Wancheng and block Ma Chao's soldiers and horses at Tongguan.

At the same time.

Xuzhou.

Xiapi Barracks.

Zhao Yunzheng trained soldiers and horses with Zhang Xiu, Zhang Liao, Tian Yu, Song Xian, Hou Cheng and others.

In the first battle of Xiapi last year, they captured 2,590 Yuan Shao's cavalry and 16,320 horses.

Although he sent some war horses to Lujiang Tai Shi Ci.

However, there are still 10,000 war horses left here in Xiapi.

After that, Zhao Yun incorporated these cavalry prisoners and war horses into his cavalry in Xuzhou.

Xuzhou is not as arrogant as Yuan Shao.

These cavalrymen were each equipped with only two horses.

Zhang Xiu and Lu Bu, as well as other cavalry in Xuzhou, were incorporated together, forming a total of 5,000 cavalry.

Let Zhang Xiu practice every day.

As for the expenses, they are provided by various families in Xuzhou.

Although many families complained, with Zhang Zhao as the pastor of Xuzhou to help mediate, he didn't bother to care about this.

At this time, Zhao Yun and other generals watched the five thousand cavalry advance and retreat under the command of Zhang Xiu, and their eyes lit up.

Five thousand cavalry!

10,000 horses!

What a scale!

They couldn't have thought of it before!

Zhang Liao quipped: "General Zhang Xiu really has a good junior brother, who can command so many cavalry!" ”

Zhao Yun blushed a little when he heard Zhang Liao say this.

To say that there is no partiality is false.

For Zhang Xiu, the elder brother, he regarded him as his only relative.

If there is a good thing, it is natural to share it with your loved ones.

He remembered that before setting off from Wu County, he told Wuhou Lu Yi about the formation of 5,000 cavalry, and asked Wuhou Lu Yi if he would be too nepotistic if he did this?

Wuhou Lu Yi said at the time: "If you don't appoint cronyism, then what have you done?" As long as your loved ones are really capable, then be bold and appoint! You deserve it! ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun blushed and said: "He, he is my only relative, and he has the ability, he will definitely give priority to him." ”

Zhang Liao, Tian Yu, Song Xian, Hou Cheng and others looked at each other, and then laughed.

Zhang Liao smiled: "If you have the guts, a real villain is stronger than a hypocrite, I like this!" To be honest, if I were Zhao Duwei, I would do the same! ”

At this moment, a small soldier rushed over and said, "Generals, Wu Hou has an urgent letter!" ”

Only then did everyone look nervous.

Zhao Yun stepped forward quickly, took the bamboo tube from the little soldier's hand, took out the strip of cloth, and read it.

Zhang Liao and Tian Yu's faces were ugly.

In the letter, Wuhou Lu Yi asked them to immediately send troops north: first use the port of the plain to break through, and then the cavalry will attack the rear of the plain to block the retreat of Yuan Shao's defenders on the plain, and then let Zhao Yun lead the army to break the city!

And the commanders of the defenders of this plain, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, are all old friends of Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and Tian Yu.

Zhao Yun's face was also a little ugly.

After reading the content on the cloth, Zhao Yun looked at the crowd: "What do you say?" ”

Zhang Liao let out a long breath and said, "What else can you say about the order given by Marquis Wu?" Let's do it now! Late tonight, taking advantage of the fact that there were no additional soldiers in the plain port, a surprise attack on the port, and after taking it, General Zhang Xiu led 5,000 cavalry to block the opponent's retreat. ”
