Xi Zhicai's voice blew lightly into the boy's ears.
"how?
Did he reject you?"
Hearing Xi Zhicai's words, the boy couldn't help but be stunned.
"I didn't explicitly reject it, but I can already feel the momentum from the words."
Xi Zhicai's words were a little low, and it was obvious that he was a little angry now.
"Then why do we have to go back to the inn? Wouldn't it be better to go directly back to Wu County?"
Now that Xi Zhicai has made a decision, he is basically inseparable. But what Xiaosi doesn't understand is, knowing that Chen Wen will be his opposite, why he continues to stay at the inn. It would not be good to go back early and let Cao Cao send troops.
?
"It is precisely because Chen Wen has decided to oppose us that we cannot return to Wu County and have to go to the inn."
Although Xi Zhicai was in the car, he couldn't help but shook his head.
"Why?
Dongzhi doesn’t understand,”
Hearing Xi Zhicai's words, the boy immediately became stupid. What kind of situation was this? He knew that he couldn't do anything but did something. This was not Xi Zhicai's style.
"Don't understand, I have my own arrangements when I get back to the inn."
Xi Zhicai didn't want to say anything more now. In fact, he had already made a plan in his mind, but all this could not be implemented until he returned to the inn.
"promise."
The boy stopped asking questions and drove the carriage back to the inn in a hurry.
"Dongzhi, there is a task for you now."
After returning to the inn, Xi Zhicai called the boy into his room, with a heavy look in his eyes.
"Sir, please clarify."
Hearing Xi Zhicai's words, the boy couldn't help but feel solemn.
"When you came back, did you also ask me why I didn't go back to Wu County now but went back to the inn?"
Looking at Xi Zhicai, the boy couldn't help but nodded. He had indeed asked this question.
"If we return to Wu County now, it will be like telling Chen Wen that we already know what he means, so that he will be prepared.
So I decided that you would rest at the post station instead of me, and I would leave the post station under the cover of darkness at night and return to Wu County.
In this way, the lord can prepare to send troops as soon as possible, and Chen Wen will not be suspicious when he finds that we are still at the inn. After all, he has stabilized me with his words.
This way we can catch him off guard, and I believe this battle will be easy."
A flash of light flashed in Xi Zhicai's eyes. Since Chen Wen wants to play tricks on him, he can only retaliate with others. If Chen Wen is stabilized here, troops can be arranged as soon as possible.
"Sir, I can't pretend to be yours. If Chen Wen comes to visit, it might be self-defeating."
Hearing that he was asked to pretend to be Xi Zhicai, the boy's heart sank for a while.
"It doesn't matter, you just need to eat tea and drink at the inn like I did before. Chen Wen is now hoping that I won't look for him, so naturally he won't come to the inn to look for me."
Xi Zhicai didn't take it seriously. Now he and Chen Wen were competing in a battle of wits and courage. Let's see who can have the last laugh.
"In that case, I understand. I hope you, sir, will pay attention to your safety here."
Xi Zhicai had said so, and the boy had no other ideas. Although he might be in danger after Chen Wen found out that he was not Xi Zhicai, his life was saved by Xi Zhicai, even if he paid for it
It doesn't matter.
"Don't worry, it doesn't matter even if Chen Wen finds out. He definitely doesn't dare to hurt your life."
After looking at the boy's expression, Xi Zhicai smiled slightly. He had already guessed that the boy must be thinking that there was danger here.
"Dongzhi knows."
The young man rushed to Xi Zhicai and clasped his fists slightly, saying so, but Chen Wen was really in a hurry and killed himself to sacrifice the flag, so there was nothing he could do.
"Well, then let's exchange clothes."
"promise."
Taking advantage of the vast darkness of the night, Xi Zhicai walked out of the inn in a swaggering way, wearing the clothes of a servant. He waited until no one was around before running towards the place where he hid his troops.
Before entering Shouchun, Xi Zhicai had thought of all the possible outcomes, so he divided Cao Cao's escort escort into two parts, with one half following him into the city and the other half hiding in a mountain col twenty miles away.
among.
It took only an hour and a half to travel these twenty miles.
"who?"
The soldiers and horses in the mountain col were very vigilant, and there were still people stationed outside even in the middle of the night.
"I am Xi Zhicai."
Xi Zhicai coughed twice. His body was already a little weak, and walking the twenty miles almost cost him half his life.
"Sir, why are you here late at night?
Could it be that Chen Wen has evil intentions?"
Hearing Xi Zhicai's voice, the guards quickly rode up to him, dismounted and knelt down to salute him.
"Stop talking nonsense and follow me back to Wu County immediately."
Xi Zhi took a deep breath and waved his hand towards the cavalryman.
"promise."
The cavalryman heard Xi Zhicai's words without hesitation, directly helped him mount his horse, and then ran towards the col with him.
After entering the mountain col, turning around the soldiers and horses inside, they ran directly towards Wu Commandery under the moonlight.
Song Xian kept running wildly and finally reunited with Lu Bu.
"Lord, I'm back."
Song Xian entered the military camp and ran directly to Lu Bu's main tent.
"Song Xian is back?
What's Chen Wen's answer?
Have you agreed?"
Seeing Song Xian's return, Lu Bu immediately became energetic.
"Lord, Chen Wen has agreed for us to enter Yangzhou."
Song Xian's eyes were shining brightly.
"Okay, okay, okay,"
Facing Song Xian, Lu Bu said three good words in a row.
"Lord, I feel that the reason why Chen Wen agreed so easily to me entering Yangzhou is that he probably felt threatened by Cao Cao, so we must be prepared to start a war with Cao Cao when we enter Yangzhou."
Although Chen Wen agreed to their entry into Yangzhou, the existence of Cao Cao was also a big problem.
"Why should I, Lu Bu, be afraid of Cao Mengde?"
When he heard that Cao Cao was threatening, Lu Bu stood up suddenly, his eyes filled with disdain.
"My lord thinks so, I feel relieved."
Seeing the re-energized Lu Bu, Song Xian's eyes flashed with admiration. This was the Lu Bu in his heart, the invincible general who looked down upon the princes of the world.
"Haha, order the whole army to rest tonight and march towards Yangzhou at full speed tomorrow."
"promise."
The situation in Yangzhou has become a bit confusing now. Originally there were Chen Wen and Cao Cao, but now Lu Bu has been added. The three-legged alliance does not know what kind of changes it will bring to Yangzhou.
Dian Wei Yanliang and Xu Huang led the army and pushed all the way, and finally arrived outside Chenliu City.
"Report to the general, Chenliu City is still the same. The city gates are wide open and there are no defensive measures."
The scouts rushed over, their eyes full of excitement.
"What did you say?
The gates of Chenliucheng are wide open without any protective measures?"
Hearing what the scout said, Yan Liang and the other three were all dumbfounded. What is going on?
What kind of trick is this?
Could it be that Lu Bu didn't get the news that he was attacking Chen Liu?
This is impossible?
Lu Bu is not a fool. He knows that they will not let Chenliu County go, so there is no way he would not plant spies at the border.
"Gongming?
What do you think this Lu Bu wants to do?"
Yan Liang knew that asking Dian Wei was useless, so he directly aimed his gaze at Xu Huang on the other side.
