"Third General, please tell me that Cheng Yu will definitely go and see you."
"promise."
Zhang Fei, who had just sat down, stood up again and took a deep breath.
"Li Dian, tell your military advisor that our military advisor Cheng Yu will definitely go and see you."
Zhang Fei's voice exploded like thunder, causing the entire tent to tremble. Even Li Dian in the distance was startled when he heard the voice.
"Sure enough, Zhang Fei is really fierce."
Li Dian shook his head. Since Cheng Yu has agreed, his mission has been accomplished.
He turned the horse's head, click, click, click, and returned to Xun Yu in Jishui.
As time passed, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu came to a neutral area as promised. Cheng Yu was leading Zhang Fei, while Xun Yu was accompanied by Li Dian and Xiahou Dun.
"Xun Wenruo, we meet again."
Cheng Yu looked at Xun Yu in front of him, and the corners of his mouth curved.
"Cheng Zhongde, we meet again."
Xun Yu looked at Cheng Yu and also smiled slightly.
"What do you want from me?"
Cheng Yu opened his mouth to ask Xun Yu.
"Cheng Zhongde, since you can come to see me, you must know why I am here. Now that you understand, don't pretend to be confused."
Xun Yu couldn't help but shook his head when he heard Cheng Yu's words.
"Haha, if that's the case then don't talk nonsense. What do you want to do?"
Cheng Yu also shook his head. He could think of everything he could think of about Xun Yu. There was no point in going round and round.
"Together, we will benefit both sides, and to divide, we will suffer two harms. Let's temporarily suspend our troops. You will consolidate your Dongping Kingdom, and I will station in my Jibei Kingdom. As for Yanzhou, we will wait for the lords to return safely, each according to his own ability."
"Agree, then we will suspend the army temporarily and wait until the lord comes back."
Cheng Yu had no objection to Xun Yu's words. The scene Ju Yu wanted to see must be the two of them fighting each other, but what the enemy wanted to see was what they didn't want to do, so a truce was inevitable.
"That being the case, Xun Mou takes his leave."
Conversations between highly intelligent people don't take long, and they will never talk too much about things that can be explained clearly in a few words. Now that both parties have reached an agreement, Xun Yu directly glared at Cheng Yu, and then led his troops to leave.
"I didn't expect that Tangtang Xun Wenruo would be even more irritable than me. Really, let's go too."
Cheng Yu smiled slightly, he saw a lot of things in Xun Yu's eyes,
There is hatred, irritability and even a hint of unwillingness. These are enough to show that although Xun Yu was very reluctant to cease the war, he had to do it because of the overall situation.
Now that he had read it, there was nothing to hesitate about, so he turned around and took Zhang Fei back to Pingyin Ferry.
"Military advisor, why are you so irritable today?"
Le Jin walked out of the soldiers and looked at Xun Yu in confusion.
In order to guard against Cheng Yu, Xun Yu even brought Le Jin over.
"Cheng Yu's thoughts are hard to fathom. If I didn't act more impatient, how could he believe that we really wanted to call off the troops and lead the troops back to Dongping Country?"
Xun Yu was good at making plans, and he was also good at recruiting people. After a brief contact with Cheng Yu, he had roughly figured out the other person's character.
Cheng Yu, like his lord Cao Cao, is suspicious and scheming. If he doesn't show weakness, he may make this negotiation a failure in name only.
"The military advisor is resourceful, I admire him, I admire him."
After hearing Xun Yu's words, Li Dian, Xiahou Dun and Le Jin were all stunned. They did not expect that Xun Yu's random actions would contain such profound meanings. To borrow a famous saying, it means that the strong men of the sect are so terrifying.
Xu Huang returned to Qingzhou with the Yellow Turbans, Xun Yu led his troops into Lu County, and Cheng Yu also led his troops back to Dongping Kingdom as agreed. On the surface, Yanzhou also returned to a brief period of calm, but there was an undercurrent surging unseen.
The waves are strange and strange.
Three days later, Jushu finally received the military report from Xu Huang. When he learned that he had led nearly 170,000 Yellow Turbans and hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans, old and young, back to Qingzhou, his anxious heart finally dropped into his stomach.
"Summon Yan Liang and Wen Chou to my office to discuss matters."
"promise."
When Ju Shou spoke, his bodyguards were ordered to go to the place where the two men were stationed to deliver the message. That night they met and came to Ju Shou's presence.
"Military advisor, Yan Liang is here."
"Military advisor, Wen Chou is here too."
Yan Liang, Wen Chou and each other clasped their fists in greeting to Ju Shou.
"Two generals, come quickly, come quickly."
Jushou kindly pulled the two of them into the house, and then took their seats.
"Military advisor, you have called us here so urgently, but there are changes in Yanzhou?"
Yan Liang looked at Ju Shou, Xun Yu had called him over so urgently, something must have happened, and the only major issue now was the battle situation in Yanzhou.
"That's right, this is the military report just sent by Xu Huang, please take a look at it, two generals."
After Jushou said this, he handed Xu Huang's military report into Yan Liang's hands.
"Well done to Xu Huang for bringing back so many yellow scarves."
After reading what Xu Huang wrote in the letter, Yan Liang's eyes were full of excitement, thinking about what would happen if these hundreds of thousands of people fell into the hands of Cao Cao or Liu Bei, but now they are all brought back by Xu Huang.
"Well, Xu Huang did a good job and had the style of a general."
Jushou nodded and praised Xu Huang without words.
"Military advisor, what should we do next?"
Wen Chou didn't care at all about other people's achievements. He was only worried about whether he had any battles to fight.
"The next step is easy. Prepare the army for war and prepare to besiege Licheng."
Jushou's words made Yan Liang stunned, this shouldn't be the case.
"Military advisor, are you besieging Licheng so early?"
Jushou looked at Yan Liang, a light flashed in his eyes.
"Gong Ji, I know what you are thinking. It happened to be that Xu Huang was pretending to be the Yellow Turban to capture the entire Qingzhou, and then we surrendered it. Wouldn't it take no effort to get it? That's right."
After listening to Ju Shou's words, Yan Liang realized that he was being abrupt. How could Ju Shou not see things that he could see.
"But do you know why I didn't choose to do that?"
Yan Liang and Wen Chou shook their heads together, they really didn't understand.
"Paper can't stop the fire. Xu Huang's affairs will always be known to others. If he just pretended to surrender to the Yellow Turbans and then brought the Yellow Turbans with him, it wouldn't be a big problem.
Once he leads the Yellow Turbans to capture the city, and if someone exposes him like that, it will be difficult for the Lord to gain a foothold in Qingzhou.
Because this will offend not only the aristocratic families, but also the working people will resent the lord. Water can carry a boat but it can also capsize it."
Jushou's words were like thunder in the hearts of Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Their original thoughts were too simple. If they really did that, they would harm their lord.
"Two generals, please remember that your words and deeds represent not only yourself, but also the master. As the saying goes, those who have gained the right will get more help, and those who have lost the right will have less help. People's hearts are the most important at all times.
Why does the lord always insist on light corvee and low taxes? It is not to make the people live a better life. Only when the people live and work in peace and contentment can their hearts turn to the lord."
"The military advisor taught Yan Liang to remember it."
"The military advisor taught Wen Chou to remember it."
Ju Shou saw what he wanted to see in the eyes of the two of them. If they could accept the teaching with an open mind, it would be a good thing for him to say this.
