Dear Grand Master:

"Everything must be planned before taking action", I have learned again.

I thought carefully and finally figured out that from the moment they arrived in Longxi, Cao Cao's advisers had already started planning this chess game.

This is nothing. What amazed me was Xun's patience. He waited for nearly half a year without sabotaging any of my actions. It was not until Fengxian and I went to Wuwei to convince Ma Chao that everyone relaxed.

After releasing the news about Ma Teng, he sent someone to contact Wang Yun and started planning.

Wuwei is just a bait.

I campaigned in Wuwei, and Han Sui attacked Longxi. Xun and Guo Jia expected everything, including Chen Gong and I turning south and marching to Jincheng. They sacrificed Han Sui, all they wanted was time - Cao Jun entered Hangu Pass and captured

The time it takes to walk between Fengxian and Diaochan.

For this reason, Guo Jia even personally led his troops to the north. Fortunately, there was God's will, otherwise after working hard for so long, he would have been completely destroyed overnight.

Whether Lu Bu is killed in battle, surrenders, or is put under house arrest by Cao Cao, the 40,000 Bingzhou Army will fall into a long-term slump, and no one can lead them, not even me.

Zhang Liao said that Lu Bu originally wanted me to take over and avenge him. The second idiot also knew his subordinate's thoughts very well. He had no other choice but to take revenge as the only goal of fighting.

Thank God, Fengxian is okay, otherwise all my previous efforts will be in vain, and I must now reflect on my intelligence strategy.

In this melee, Cai Wenji, Jia Xu, Zhang Liao, Chen Gong... no matter which team is missing, the consequences will be disastrous.

Lu Bu's injury was not serious, but he seemed very tired. He was sleeping along the way. Gan Ning was the first to return to Longxi. I was really relieved when I saw Cai Wenji standing on the tower.

You didn't see the scene at that time, it was really wonderful.

When Wen Yuan and I returned to Longxi, it was the third day after rescuing Lu Bu. The battle was entering a fierce stage. Han Sui planned to withdraw his troops, but Gan Ning blocked his way out.

Jia Xu opened the city gate, and the two sides attacked inside and outside the city. They defeated Han Sui's army and fled south, preparing to withdraw their troops back to Jincheng.

Jia Xu lived up to his reputation as a poisonous counselor. He had already made preparations during the battle to defend the city and sent people to Jincheng to deliver a letter to Chen Gong.

Chen Gong seized the best time and sent Gao Shun to ambush on both sides of the canyon where Han Sui must pass through, and created an avalanche, which dealt a devastating blow to Han Sui's remaining troops.

It is said that Han Sui escaped from Hangu Pass and ran towards the Central Plains.

They are truly god-like teammates. How consistent and tacit understanding is required to be able to trust each other thousands of miles away, guess each other's combat strategies, and then cooperate with each other?

They do not interfere with each other and fight independently, but they can achieve a clever fit and perfectly destroy the armed forces of Jincheng and Wuwei at once. Being able to work with them as colleagues, strategy is an art and a pleasure!

Now we have three cities, enough food and grass, and are ready to celebrate the New Year. Zhang Liao said that if Feng Xian took a medicine called Wangyousan, he would gradually forget the past. He said it vividly and was very scary.

Dear, omnipotent Grand Master, please feel free to grab some antidote pills and throw them over when you reply next time, or a small bottle of Uncle Haoran’s blood.

What was said in the previous letter does not count. The past Marquis Wen died the moment Diao Chan left.

I will continue to work hard, please bless me.

I will always love you: Xiaohei.

It was freezing and snowy, the twelfth lunar month was cold, the courtyard was covered with snow, and the room was steaming with heat. In a large wooden barrel, Qilin was taking a bath. Chen Gong had returned from Jincheng, reading a book, and discussing with Qilin from time to time.

"Add some hot water." Qilin ordered in the room.

Chen Gong asked: "I heard there are monsters in the house?"

Qilin replied casually: "Really? Why haven't I heard about it? You must be talking about Diao Chan. Everyone is gone. Don't make irresponsible remarks about her behind her back."

Chen Gong couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Why don't you bring Diao Chan back too?"

Qilin: "The people sent by Cao Cao were watching from the side. As soon as I turned around to rescue Fengxian, someone behind me took Diao Chan away. Let her go. It's not a good idea to marry anyone else. I have to come to Longxi to squeeze in a seat."

"

The servants poured the hot water into the big bucket. Qilin frowned and said, "I just don't understand. Why is Wang Yun doing all this when he is already in his seventies?"

Chen Gong said casually: "No matter how old you are, power and money are inseparable..."

Qilin smiled and said: "Who said that Jia Xu doesn't ask for these things? He just wants to protect himself and keep his family safe. I'm stupid. I can't even take care of myself after being around for so long. I have to learn from him in the future.

.”

Chen Gong raised his eyes and said: "If you hadn't interfered with it at the beginning, it was Mr. Wang Situ who was in charge of the third division of Yi Bi. In the final analysis, it was the root of the disaster that was laid in the past. You cut the grass without eradicating the root, and what we have today is

Disaster, who can you blame?"

Qilin said: "You also have a share."

Chen Gong waved his hand: "Since the serial scheme has been discovered and Fengxian does not favor his daughter, how can you teach him how to swallow this breath?"

Qilin nodded and remained silent.

Chen Gong finished counting the names, stood up, took a long breath, and said slowly: "A beauty is a disaster, most likely she was taken away by Cao Mengde and put into the harem."

Qilin said leisurely: "Cao Cao is cruel to others, but he is still kind to his wife. If you really follow him, it won't be considered a grievance..."

Chen Gong mocked: "I'm afraid that Wang Yun still won't give up and wants to rely on his daughter to make another comeback... That's all. It's useless to say more. Is my lord awake?"

Qilin said: "He was originally a second child. After being poisoned, he is now a second child. Let's wait until some time later and I get the antidote. Have they all come back?"

After Qilin took a bath, he got up and dressed, lowered his head to tie his belt. Chen Gong smiled outside the room and said: "The generals are all here. They are waiting for the announcement after the Lord is healed. I was very anxious at first. I said it's okay.

, and sent them back to their hometown to rest."

Qilin nodded and said, "You have worked hard too. Go back and rest. In a few days, let's all have a drink and get together. This year's affairs are finally over."

Chen Gong said goodbye and left the Hou Mansion, and went to manage the city guards and troops in Jincheng and Wuwei, and mobilized remaining grain and grass to support Longxi's winter needs.

The city had just gone through a battle and was in a mess. Qilin's hair was wet and looked like a hedgehog. Walking along the corridor, the road was full of soldiers repairing repairs.

"My lord, are you awake?" Qilin asked, taking the name list from the new soldier captain.

"I just woke up not long ago." The captain said, "This place was ordered by the military advisor to re-select the servants of the mansion."

Qilin nodded, glanced at it casually, handed it back to him, and said: "I will take office in the afternoon. I will check the people Diao Chan brought and let them go home. Those who live in the Central Plains and don't want to leave can go find them by themselves."

Brothers in the army, choose the right one to marry, Lu Fengxian?"

Lu Bu responded in the room.

Qilin pushed the door open and went in. The gauze curtain had been changed and the room had been cleaned. Lu Bu sat on the edge of the couch, dumbfounded and didn't know what to think.

Qilin stepped forward and asked, "Are you awake? How do you feel?"

Lu Bu seemed a little dizzy and shook his head, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.

Lu Bu was almost naked, only wearing a pair of underpants. There were injuries on his thighs, chest, and shoulders, wrapped in white bandages. Qilin took ointment, untied Lu Bu's bandages, and changed his dressing.

"Qilin." Lu Bu suddenly said.

Qilin smiled and said: "Very good, you still remember me. I didn't work for you in vain. Are you still dizzy?"

Lu Bu thought for a while and said, "I'm a little dizzy. Your name is Qilin."

Qilin hummed indifferently, and Lu Bu asked again: "Isn't the Marquis drinking?"

Qilin said: "You were poisoned by Diao Chan..." Then he explained to Lu Bu in detail what Zhang Liao said, from the expedition to Wuwei to Diao Chan's night run.

Lu Bu was confused and reluctantly nodded.

Qilin changed the medicine, then touched Lu Bu's head and said, "Take a rest if you feel sleepy. Don't think too much. I'll find some medicine for you in a while, and you won't feel faint after eating it."

Lu Bu was very obedient. He lay down on the bed and stared at the ceiling in trance.

"Your name is Qilin..." Lu Bu murmured, "I remember you."

Qilin joked: "I will make cows and horses for you. If you don't remember me, I will leave."

Lu Bu didn't answer and was very quiet. Qilin looked at him for a while and felt that it was very funny. Lu Bu seemed to be a different person, his eyes were looking at the height of the shelf seriously, his expression looked calm and reliable.

"What are you thinking about?" Qilin asked curiously.

Lu Bu replied: "I miss my mother."

Qilin followed his gaze and saw a box on the shelf, so he stood up and took it down.

The box was unlocked. Lu Bu sat cross-legged on the couch and called Qilin: "Come here."

Lu Bu opened the box, and inside was a tattered ball of paper. Qilin asked curiously: "It's actually this, and it was brought to Longxi from Chang'an. What is it?"

Lu Bu carefully held the bamboo stick, took out the ball of paper, put it aside, and explained: "When I was a child, my mother gave me paste-up kites."

Relic, Qilin understood.

"Where are your parents?" Lu Bu asked.

Qilin said: "When I was very young and not very sensible, my mother died."

Lu Bu nodded in understanding.

There were a few children's things at the bottom of the box, including a small dragon sewn in cloth. Lu Bu asked again: "I am a dragon, what are you?"

Qilin didn't know who he was. When he was born, there were no zodiac signs or celestial branches. He didn't know his age, so he had to answer: "I don't know, what is this?"

There was a talisman bag tied around the dragon's neck. Qilin opened the talisman bag and pulled out a piece of yellowed paper. Lu Bu said: "When I was seven years old, my mother asked me for a fortune-telling sign, saying that I would not live to be twenty-eight.

"

Qilin: "..."

Qilin unfolded the paper, and it turned out to be Lu Bu's destiny. He took a look at it, rubbed it up, threw it into the brazier, and said with a smile: "You only have one month left, and you will be twenty-nine. It shows that destiny cannot be trusted.
To be continued...
