Xuchang, in the palace of King Wei of Ugong Zhaolie. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There was a letter on the desk of Ugong Zhaolie, which was written by Yuan Qi before the expedition, but it was deliberately delayed for half a month and sent over, and the person who sent the letter was Tian Feng, who was now waiting outside the Wei Palace.

Originally, before receiving this letter, Ugong Zhaolie was ready to start a war, taking advantage of Yuan Qi's time in the Yizhou battlefield, to launch an attack on Jizhou, Ugong Zhaolie is a peerless hero, he is not willing to sit still, once Mount Tai is eliminated, then between the world, there will only be him Ugong Zhaolie and Sun Ce two independent armed groups, but Sun Ce and Yuan Qi are in a group, still in Jiangdong, with the Yangtze River natural danger, he can't do anything to Sun Ce, but Sun Ce can attack himself at any time, who let his subordinates have no water army that can dominate the worldAnd this is exactly what Jiangdong Army is good at.

In the state of preparation for war on the outside and tight on the inside, the 300,000 troops of the Wei State have been assembled, and if Tian Feng came one day later, maybe Ugong Zhaolie would have led his troops to the expedition, but Tian Feng came just right, just like beating a snake and hitting seven inches, and his grasp of the timing was extremely accurate. On the one hand, he wanted to send troops as soon as possible to grab a few counties in Jizhou to expand his territory and enrich his strength; on the other hand, although Yuan Qi attacked Yizhou in a big way, Jizhou did leave a large number of troops and famous generals to defend, and once the war started, there would be no room for maneuver.

Therefore, Unomiya Terulie is very conflicted now, looking up at the people around him. I hope they can help them make a decision: "Let's talk about it, Yuan Qi sent someone to show goodwill and sent gifts, what should we do?"

Cheng Yu and Xun You stood up at the same time, Cheng Yu said first: "King, Yuan Qi is now powerful, once Yizhou Taishan is destroyed, it will be more abundant, if we want to survive, we must seize this opportunity and strive to take Jizhou over." Otherwise, when Mount Tai is extinguished, Yuan Qi turns the gun to deal with us, and we will have nothing to deal with!"

Xun You added: "That's right, Yuan Qi went to Yizhou this time and took away many famous generals and ministers. The four elites under his command are exhausted, it is a good time for our army to attack Jizhou, the king must not be suspicious and miss the opportunity!"

Listening to Cheng Yu and Xun You's words, Ugong Zhaolie was noncommittal, and just said, "Well, it makes sense. Do you have any other opinions?"

On the opposite side of Cheng Yu and Xun Yu, Yugong Ren and Xiahou brothers, the three of them stood up together, indicating that they and Cheng Yu had the same position, and asked Ugong Zhaolie to ignore Yuanqi's envoy Tian Feng and set out for Jizhou as soon as possible. Ugong Terulie was also noncommittal about the words of this group of henchmen, and continued to solicit the opinions of others.

When all the officials expressed their opinions one after another, Xi Zhicai had already seen that Ugong Terulie's heart had been shaken at this moment. Xu Wei and Zhang Zong, who stayed in Jizhou, are all famous generals in the world, and there are also wise men like Xu Shu who give advice from the side, but it is not so easy to break the defense line of Jizhou.

Thinking of this, Xi Zhicai sighed secretly in his heart, in fact, in his heart, he also agreed to send troops, no matter how difficult Jizhou is, after all, now Yuan Qi and many of his famous generals and ministers are not in the territory, now is the best time to launch an attack, if you wait for Yuan Qi's victorious class to return to Yanjing, and then want to attack Jizhou, the difficulty will increase tenfold! Besides, let Yuan Qi develop and grow, for Ugong Wei, it is to sit back and wait, and when the strength is strong enough, sooner or later it will swing a fatal knife to Ugong Jun, it is better to fight to the death than to be killed, this truth, presumably Ugong Terulie himself knows it very well, but now Ugong Terulie was bluffed by Yuan Qi's tough attitude, and he can't make up his mind, if Guo Jia is still there, it would be good if Ugong Terulie was still there, with Ugong Terulie's weight to Guo Jia, he would definitely be able to persuade Ugong Terulie to strengthen his determination and lead the army to the battle, but unfortunately, Guo Jia is now terminally ill, and the medicine stone is ineffective, so he can only lie in bed every day, waiting for death to approach day by day。

Thinking of Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai suddenly had a plan, stood up and said: "King, today's situation, in fact, someone has already expected it, that is Guo Fengxiao." In the past, Fengxiao had been loyal to the word, Yuan Qi is getting full-fledged, sooner or later it is my confidant, rather than sit and wait to die, it is better to give it a go, Zhong wants to petition for Guo Fengxiao on the sickbed today, please ask the king to go to Jizhou!"

Hearing Xi Zhicai mention Guo Jia's name, Ugong Zhaolie's heart sank, he didn't need to say anything about Guo Jia's importance, and when he thought of Guo Jia working hard for state affairs, he fell ill and died in bed, Ugong Zhaolie's heart was like a knife.

Li Jin and Yue Xi, the two generals who had recently joined the command of Ugong Zhaolie, stood up just right, and said in unison: "Please go to Jizhou, two people are willing to be the vanguard of the army!"

Under the persuasion of a group of civil and military personnel, Ugong Zhaolie finally decided to go to Jizhou, but the date of the expedition was set three days later, because he wanted to meet Tian Feng and tell him the illusion that he was going to die down, so that Xu Zhuan, Zhang Zong and others who were guarding Jizhou would relax their vigilance. Immediately, Tian Feng was brought into the Wei Palace, and had a two-hour conversation with Ugong Zhaolie, in which there was no murderous intent in Ugong Zhaolie's words, and Tian Feng talked and laughed freely.

In the end, the conversation ended in a joyful atmosphere, and Unomiya Terulie personally sent Tian Feng to the door of the hall, which showed the depth of courtesy.

Tian Feng returned to the post house, and a middle-aged man dressed as a servant came over and asked, "My lord, do you have any instructions?" Tian Feng glanced at the servant, his eyes obviously showed a little surprise, but he quickly disappeared, pretending to be casual and said, "Go and bring boiling water to my room." ”

A moment later, the middle-aged servant walked into Tian Feng's room with a pot of boiling water, and after closing the door, he stood up straight, and his lofty bearing was revealed from his body, where was there still the slightest servant?

Tian Feng turned his head to look at the middle-aged man, and said in a low voice: "Wen Wei! You are so bold, you dare to come to Xuchang in disguise! The hidden dragon under your command has just killed many of Unomiya Terulie's spies, causing Unomiya Terulie to lose the first move, in case you are recognized by his subordinates, you will die!"

Li Ruman smiled nonchalantly: "Don't talk about Ugong Zhaolie's waste subordinates, even Ugong Zhaolie passed me in person, and he may not be able to recognize who I am, don't forget, the hidden dragon is mercury, pervasive, this disguise makeup technique, if we think that the hidden dragon is the second in the world, who can be the first?"

Tian Feng was stunned when he heard this, and shook his head helplessly and said: "Even so, you shouldn't take risks lightly, you are different from me, I am a messenger, the two countries will not fight and not kill, Ugong Terulie will not do anything to me, but you ......"

Li Ru waved his hand to interrupt Tian Feng's words, sat down beside Tian Feng, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I came this time, it was the orders of the two Xiangguo, they were afraid that you would be too strong in temper and not be able to handle this matter, so they asked me to come over to assist you, you also know, now the old guys in the court are either guarding all over the place, or following the king of Yan to go on the expedition, only I, an idler, can take out, except for me, there is no other candidate." Getting back to business, what's going on, what is Unomiya Terulie thinking now?"

Hearing that it was Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong who asked Li Ru to come, Tian Feng didn't say anything anymore, thought about it, and replied: "In my opinion, most of the Ugong Zhaolie still have to send troops, and the illusion that the Ugong army is dying is mostly deliberately made to show us. ”

When Li Ru heard this, the expression on his face froze, and he said in a low voice: "This is not good news, if Ugong Zhaolie sends troops, it will definitely cause a shocking change, we are now insufficient in strength, we can only defend passively, and wait for King Yan to destroy Mount Tai before we can have the power to counterattack, no, we have to think of a way to delay the time for Ugong Zhaolie to send troops, and buy some time for Xu Xu and Zhang Zong." ”

Tian Feng nodded and said, "That's right, I hope to delay Unomiya Terulie for a few days." ”

"That's not enough, I still have to give Ugong Zhaolie some fierce information in secret, and mess with his army's morale......" Li Ru slowly stood up and muttered.
