The soldiers on the city wall came directly to Lu Bu's place and reported to him Xi Zhicai's intention.
"Cao Cao came to envoy and asked to see His Majesty?
Song Xian, do you know what he wants to do?"
Lu Bu was stunned when he heard what the soldiers said. What kind of trick did Cao Cao want to do? He was not thinking well, so Lu Bu looked at Song Xian who was aside.
"My lord, Cao Cao has two reasons for sending people here now. The first is to persuade us to surrender. The second is that he no longer wants to fight and wants to negotiate peace with us."
Song Xian didn't go back stupidly after he had his last awakening. When he heard that Cao Cao had sent an envoy, he gave Lu Bu two answers.
"So what do we do now?
Has the messenger been seen or not?"
Facing the wise Song Xian, Lu Bu now agrees 100%.
"We don't need to meet. Meeting Cao Cao's envoy privately may cause trouble. Besides, he is looking for the Han Emperor, not us. He can just send him to Shouchun and let Mr. Chen Wen scratch his head."
Song Xian shook his head. Now he saw that if Cao Cao's envoy was magnified by someone who wanted to do it, he would probably be accused of colluding with Cao Cao. By then, Yangzhou's good situation might be ruined. So Song Xian gave
The suggestion is to send the person directly to Shouchun to avoid trouble.
"Well, then you send a team of troops to escort them to Shouchun."
Lu Bu nodded.
"promise."
Song Xian clasped his fists at Cheng Nuo, then turned around and left Lu Bu's house.
"The general has an order to welcome the envoy of Grand Administrator Cao to Shouchun."
Song Xian came to the top of the city, and immediately the gate opened, and a team of 500 cavalry escorted Xi Zhicai's motorcade towards Shouchun.
"This Lu Bu has some wisdom now, but he doesn't even see us?"
Looking at Song Xian on the top of the city, Xi Zhicai couldn't help but smile.
"Military advisor, what do you mean?"
Hearing Xi Zhicai's words, the boy driving the car was confused.
"Haha, Lu Bu may have a problem when he meets us now, because the two families have not yet decided to unite. If we meet now, we will be secretly enemies. This matter can be big or small.
If Chen Wen is stabbed by someone with intentions, there will definitely be a gap between the two of them.
Because what Chen Wen is most afraid of now is that Lu Bu surrenders to us, then his Yangzhou will definitely not be able to hold on. I actually had this idea when I came from Jurong County.
If the other party does not agree to the alliance, then I will spread false news, saying that Lu Bu has decided to defect to the lord, so as to drive a wedge between Lu Bu and Chen Wen.
But he won’t meet with us at all, so this stratagem will not work.”
A glimmer of light flashed in Xi Zhicai's eyes. If he could really drive a wedge between Lu Bu and Chen Wen and turn them against each other, then there would be no need for him to unite with the Han Emperor. He could just take advantage of the opportunity for their rebellion to win over Lu Bu.
Come here, and then push all the way to Shouchun. Even if Yuan Shu sends an army, he will be confident that Yangzhou can be defended, but now he has no choice but to accept Lu Bu's move.
"Then what should we do now?
Do you want to go directly to Lu Bu's place and meet him?"
When the young man heard what Xi Zhicai said, he understood that his husband was still unwilling to take the second path from the bottom of his heart. After all, there could only be one voice in Yangzhou, and only in this way could he block the coming Yuan Shu.
"It's not necessary. If Lu Bu insists on not seeing us, we won't be able to see him. Let them protect us to Shouchun."
Xi Zhicai shook his head, he had no choice but to go to Shouchun now because he didn't give him a chance.
"promise."
The convoy of 100 people, escorted by 500 cavalry, crossed Jurong County and ran straight towards Shouchun.
Time passed day by day, Chen Gong did not move with the large army, but went directly to Xiapi City in Xuzhou under the escort of a hundred cavalry.
"Sir, Chen Gong is here."
When Chen Gong entered the city, someone naturally spread the news to Zhang Zhao.
"Chen Gong is here?
This must be sent by the lord to deal with the situation in Yangzhou, please follow me out to greet them."
Hearing Chen Gong's arrival, Zhang Zhao immediately realized that his lord might be going to launch an attack on Yangzhou.
After all, the Han Emperor's entry into Yangzhou may cause great changes, and if Cao Cao takes Yangzhou and then holds the Han Emperor in his hands, it is definitely not what the lord wants to see, so Chen Gong's arrival must have been authorized by the lord to take the front line.
.
Zhang Zhao took Xuzhou Wenwu directly to greet Chen Gong's arrival.
"Welcome Mr. Gongtai."
Seeing Zhang Zhao bringing people to greet him, Chen Gong did not dare to neglect and immediately got off the carriage.
"Zi Bu, how can you deserve Chen Gong?"
Chen Gong came to Zhang Zhao and helped him up.
"Haha, you bet, Zhang Zhao worships not you but the master. If you don't worship, you will be disrespecting the master."
Zhang Zhao was also helped up by Chen Gong and smiled at Chen Gong. Indeed, as he said, he was not worshiping Chen Gong, but Yuan Shu who was behind Chen Gong. If he didn't worship and was asked to read another book, he would
But I can't stand it.
"Okay, let's talk about it after entering the house."
There is no need to worry about these. The most important thing now is to get Xuzhou into action immediately. The Lord is rushing here, and they must complete all preparations before the Lord arrives.
"Um."
The group of people surrounded Chen Gong and went directly into the meeting hall of the Prefecture Mufu.
"Gongtai, why are you up? Is it because of Yangzhou's affairs?"
Everyone sat down, Zhang Zhao looked at Chen Gong and asked him directly.
"Since you asked the question, I won't be wordy. My lord has ordered that Xuzhou has entered a state of war readiness. We cannot sit idly by and ignore the incident in Yangzhou. We will never allow Cao Cao to capture Yanzhou and hold the Han Emperor in his hands.
Yanzhou has dispatched the Hengye Army, the Trap Army, the Huwei Army and the Huns Cavalry to Xuzhou. At the same time, I have been appointed as the military advisor for this operation. I also hope that you will work together. We must make all preparations before the Lord arrives.
Can't waste any time."
Chen Gong's words not only confirmed Yuan Shu's attitude towards Yangzhou, but also established his own identity, so that the civil and military forces of Xuzhou would not know whose command they should follow.
"Zhang Zhao will obey the Lord's order and fully support the military advisor's actions."
After hearing Chen Gong's words, Zhang Zhao was the first to stand up and support Chen Gong. After he spoke, Xuzhou civil and military officials did not hesitate and all stood up and followed Yuan Shu's order.
"Okay, then let's take action. Zibu, you continue to sit in Xiapi and command. I will lead people directly to Guangling County. After Xu Huang and others arrive with their troops, you must arrange for them to go to Guangling County with me as soon as possible."
Since there are no problems here, Chen Gong doesn't want to waste time here. He wants to go to Guangling County as soon as possible. It is the frontline position and requires him to arrange more things than here. Moreover, Zhang Zhao is in charge here.
He was very relieved.
"Okay, there will be no problem with me here. I will arrange food supplies immediately to ensure that the battle in Yangzhou will not drag on. Then Guangling will be left to you."
