(Author's note: Today's fourth update, please stay tuned...) "Sili?" Cao Ren said in surprise, "Sili became a land without an owner two years ago because Luoyang was reduced to ruins. Why did Lu Bu go to Sili?
?”
Man Chong thought for a moment and said slowly: "Is it because of the jade seal that the heroes fought for two years ago but has no whereabouts?"
Cao Ren frowned and said hurriedly: "According to reports from the scouts, Ma Teng's subordinates Zhang Ji and Fan Chou are also preparing to move around Hongnong. There are suspicions that soldiers are targeting Luoyang. Is it possible that they are also passing on the national jade seal there?"
"The Jade Seal of the Kingdom? I heard that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are the final contenders. The Jade Seal of the Kingdom is not in the hands of Yuan Shao but in the hands of Yuan Shu. How can there be a Jade Seal of the Kingdom in Luoyang?" Cao Chun said disdainfully.
Man Chong stroked the green beard above his chin, and his wise eyes exuded a little light, and said slowly: "Two years ago, in order to fight for the jade seal of the country, heroes fought around Luoyang, and the corpses piled up like mountains, making Luoshui...
cut off the flow,
The entire Luoshui River was dyed red with blood, which can be described as a tragic situation in the world. After the melee, many heroes died in Luoyang, and the smart ones stayed away from them. Until the end, only Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Gongsun Zan were left.
power……"
Cao Ren immediately interrupted Man Chong and continued: "Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan attacked and defended the alliance to deal with Yuan Shu together. Yuan Shu could not withstand the offensive of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, so he set a fire in anger and directly
Luoyang City was burned to the ground, and finally Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were forced to retreat to Henan City, while Yuan Shu retreated to Nanyang. As for whose hand the national jade seal is, it seems to have become a permanent mystery..."
"Isn't it obvious? Yuan Shao must have taken it away. Otherwise, why would Yuan Shu set fire to Luoyang?" Cao Chun interrupted Cao Ren and expressed his speculation.
Man Chong shook his head and said, "I can't see..."
"Why not?" Cao Chun asked a little unconvinced.
Man Chong said: "If it was really taken away by Yuan Shao, Ye City has been conquered by Lu Bu and Gao Fei, and Ye City has become an empty city. I heard that Lu Bu even dug out the treasures buried by Yuan Shao, and even Ye City
city
The surrounding graves were also dug out. This method of digging three feet into the ground. If Yuan Shao had a jade seal to pass down the country, then why did Lu Bu and Gao Fei not mention it at all? Why did Lu Bu want to cross the river and go south to attack Si?
scribe?"
Cao Chun muttered: "This...this...maybe it's a cover-up?"
Cao Ren smiled and said: "I don't think so. Lu Bu is marching so eagerly because he is obviously afraid that others will occupy Luoyang. Is the imperial seal really buried among the ruins of Luoyang City?"
Man Chong said: "That's not necessarily the case, and maybe it won't be possible in Yuan Shu's hands. Maybe the fire two years ago was just a cover-up deliberately made by Yuan Shu. In order to cover up, he obtained the Imperial Seal..."
"Shouldn't be right. With Yuan Shu's character, if he got something important like that, he would publicize it?" Cao Ren said suspiciously.
Man Chong smiled and said: "Perhaps this is the brilliance of Yuan Shu, because his strength was greatly reduced after a melee at that time. If he announced that he had obtained the Jade Seal of the State, wouldn't it lead others to attack him? He and Liu Biao
The battle for Nanyang was not fought, and we were forced to go to Yuzhou. After occupying Yuzhou, there was a slight improvement. After these two years,
With its development, it can be regarded as having more soldiers and generals. It has been recently heard that Yuan Shu has occupied Huainan and has formed a sworn enemy with Sun Jian, who occupies six counties in Jiangdong. He also intends to attack Xuzhou. This man is very ambitious and it is obvious. But, if he
If we know that the Imperial Seal is in Luoyang, we will definitely lead troops into Luoyang to fight for it again. We should wait and see what happens now."
Cao Ren smiled yinly and said: "This matter is of great importance and must be reported to the lord...Cao Chun, you secretly led troops to the Yuzhou area to spread the news and spread the word that the Jade Seal of the State is in Luoyang, and Ma Teng and Lu Bu are rushing to spread the Jade Seal of the State.
Go
, if Yuan Shu really does not have the national jade seal, he will definitely fight for it, and for our army, it can also keep the unstable Xuzhou. If he does, he probably will not go. This way we will know that he
Is there any?"
Cao Chun cupped his fists and said, "Promise! The general will understand!"
Cao Ren turned his head and said to Man Chong: "Join the army, could you please go to Changyi personally and be sure to tell the lord about this matter. Everything is decided by the lord. It is time for our Wei army to expand outwards. Otherwise, we can only rely on Yanzhou to defeat the enemy."
The land cannot make up for the food and fodder payment of our army."
Man Chong said: "General, don't worry. I will go to Changyi now. However, Lu Bu also asked the general to send scouts to monitor closely. Although Lu Bu's tiger and wolf men have few soldiers, they are also tiger and wolf troops. Our army must be strong."
It’s better to be careful.”
Cao Ren nodded, cupped his hands towards Man Chong and said, "I have arranged everything myself. Please don't worry about joining the army."
"Then... I'll take my leave now. General, please take care of yourself!" Man Chong said, cupping his fists.
"Please take care of yourself when you join the army!" Cao Ren said in return.
…
Jizhou, Xindu City.
Gao Fei, who had just returned from Dunqiu, didn't even have time to rest. As soon as he entered Xindu City, he immediately arrived at the Prefect's Mansion.
In the prefect's mansion, Jia Xu, Xun You, Xun Chen, and Ouyang Yinying were all there. When they saw Gao Fei coming, they all greeted him and said, "See you, my lord!"
Gao Fei, dusty, dusty and slightly unkempt, entered the hall, sat down at the top and asked loudly: "Military advisor, why are you so flustered?"
Jia Xu hurriedly said: "My Lord, Zhang Liao of the Jin Army led his troops to Shuofang, and Wen Chou led his troops from Yecheng to the west to attack Hanoi. The Jin Army's military advisor and Prime Minister Chen Gong stayed in Handan City in Zhao County. Hou
Cheng and Song Xian were transferred to Julu County by Chen Gong at the same time, while Lu
Bu Geng led his troops across the Yellow River from Liyang south, attacking Baima first, and then Chenliu. In just a few days, the Jin army's mobilization changed so dramatically, so his subordinates felt that our army had an opportunity, so they had to attack first
Please return to my lord and discuss strategies on how to encroach on Bingzhou."
Gao Fei said: "You are all the think tanks of our Yan Army. What do you think?"
Xun Chen first said: "My lord, my subordinates believe that our army has just defeated Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, and has just occupied Jizhou. The people's sentiment is not yet stable. Bohai, Hejian, Qinghe, Anping, Pingyuan and other places have all been newly occupied."
, except for the prefects, the officials in various places have not been properly appointed, the people have not yet been appeased, and the soldiers are a little tired, so it is not appropriate to move the army. We should take a short rest before marching to Tulubu."
Ouyang Yinying retorted: "Mr.
And this is also an excellent opportunity. Guo Fengxiao has successfully sneaked in.
Among Lü Bu's troops, the reason why Lü Bu's Jin army had such a big change should be Guo Fengxiao's masterpiece. I think we should strike while the iron is hot, attack Lü Bu quickly, and occupy the north of the Yellow River with lightning speed, and then stick to each pass.
, ferry, and then it’s not too late to have a unified rest and recuperation.”
Xun You said: "My subordinates also agree to launch a quick attack. Now our army has only occupied half of Jizhou. That half is equivalent to what our army gave up to the Jin army in vain. The Jin army has insufficient strength and is too scattered. If we really take action, it will be
It is easy to deal with. Now there are 40,000 in Bingzhou, 20,000 in Jizhou, 10,000 in Hanoi, and Lu Bu leads 10,000. The real elites are all in Lu Bu and Hanoi
In the hands of Wen Chou, although the wolf cavalry of the Jin army are brave and good at fighting, to put it bluntly, they are all Huns. The Huns betrayed and joined the Jin army because they were afraid of Lu Bu's force and fought for Lu Bu. If the lord can show his bravery, it will be enough.
If we intimidate the Huns who have merged with the state, and then use gold and silver to win them over, we will definitely be able to gain the support of the Huns, and the state can be easily obtained!"
"My lord, Zhang He has already gone to Xianbei Shanyuting. I believe it won't be long before Zhang He comes back. By then, the Xianbei people will take the lead in going south to attack Bingzhou, and our army will have an excuse. In this month, no matter how tired the soldiers are,
It’s time to rest, and Guo Fengxiao
We will also take action within this month. I believe that Guo Fengxiao will definitely transfer the soldiers and horses from Jizhou and Bingzhou to Sili. By then, our army will be able to march straight in without any effort. The whole of Hebei will also be at our fingertips.
!" Jia Xu also expressed his opinion.
When Xun Chen heard that Ouyang Yinying, Xun You, and Jia Xu all advocated sending troops, he stopped saying anything and stood there quietly.
Gao Fei saw Xun Chen's disappointment and said loudly: "I'm very pleased that you all can express your opinions. Whether it's the main battle or the advocacy of self-cultivation, it's all for the sake of our army. However, I still feel that we must complete the exorcism as soon as possible.
The wolf's plan cannot be delayed for too long. Aren't all the preparations we have made before to gain the entire Hebei?"
"My lord is wise!" Everyone worshiped together.
Gao Fei smiled and said: "I'm not very wise, but I know what the current situation is! Where is Xu You?"
Jia Xu said: "Xu You has been suffering from cold these days and is ill at home..."
"Sick? I think it's a mental illness. Come on, I'd better go to him personally and really let him go about forming an alliance with Cao Cao!" Gao Fei stood up from his seat and slowly walked down the stairs.
.
After hearing this, Jia Xu, Xun You, Xun Chen, and Ouyang Yinying asked in unison: "My lord, do you want to form an alliance with Cao Cao?"
Gao Fei stopped and said with a smile: "Yes, we have to form an alliance with Cao Cao. Moreover, the alliance will take a long time. After occupying Hebei, without five years of rest and recuperation, Hebei will not be able to be stabilized. When will the Central Plains be stabilized?"
Anyone can aspire to the championship, but before aspiration, one must
We must first stabilize our rear. The method of governing Youzhou can be promoted to the entire Hebei. It is imperative to build water conservancy projects, build new roads, encourage population growth, and develop agriculture and industry throughout Hebei. I want to
Make Hebei a paradise."
After hearing this, Jia Xu, Xun You, Xun Chen, and Ouyang Yinying all felt that Gao Fei was very ambitious, and they all worshiped together: "We will definitely do our best to assist the lord in becoming a king."
Gao Fei smiled and said: "Okay, everyone has dispersed. I'm going to meet Xu You!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Fei walked straight out of the hall of the prefect's mansion, mounted his horse, and headed towards Xu You's official residence.
