He leaned against the parapet and looked at the retreating team under the city tower, feeling suddenly solemn. Especially Lu Meng, Dianman and Huang Xu were deep into danger, and the situation was unknown. Wang Can didn't know what they would face. However,
, all Wang Can can do is prepare a celebration banquet for the three of them and wait for their return.
Behind Wang Can, Dian Wei and Huang Zhong stood upright and looked solemn.
When the two of them had just learned that Dianman and Huang Xu were following Lu Meng as an envoy, they were quite happy and even went to have a drink.
However, when the two of them watched Huang Xu and Dianman leave, they must have been very worried, but when they were worried, they also had expectations. All over the world, every parent hopes that their sons will become great and their daughters will become phoenixes, and they hope that their children will have a good future.
The same is true for Dian Wei and Huang Zhong, who expected their sons to make great achievements.
However, when Huang Xu and Dian Man were in danger, they were also worried that something had happened to them. This was the complicated mood of Huang Zhong and Dian Wei at this time, as if they had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, which was hard to explain.
After a long time, the team that Lu Meng took away had turned into a small black spot.
Guo Jia advised: "My lord, you have gone far, go back."
Wang Can shook his head, but said nothing. He was still looking at a black spot in the distance, waiting for the black spot to disappear. A group of people stood behind Wang Can, also in silence.
Lu Meng's departure almost determined the future direction.
The situation in this world and what it will be like in the future all depend on whether Lu Meng can complete his mission.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
On the tower, the autumn wind howled.
A gust of cold wind blew, making people shrink back. Wang Can felt the slightly cold breeze, and suddenly it had been almost half a year since he led his troops to leave Chengdu. It was already October, and the weather was about to enter winter.
.From midsummer to early autumn and late autumn, I wonder how my wife and children are doing at home? How is my teacher Cai Yong doing?
Wang Can felt a little depressed, turned around and left, never looking outside the city again.
Not knowing why, everyone turned around and walked down the tower and returned to the city.
During this period, Wang Can did not station his troops in Chang'an, because Wang Can only occupied the city of Chang'an and did not occupy the surrounding areas. Therefore, Wang Can began to send troops to expand from Chang'an, preparing to occupy the land in Guanzhong.
Wang Can cannot settle down in a corner, he will eventually compete in the Central Plains.
By sending troops from Yizhou, on the one hand, you can send troops south to Jiangdong, and then lead troops north to conquer the Central Plains; the other way is to send troops out of Jingzhou, and if you capture Jingzhou, you will have the road to conquer the Central Plains. But the two of them are
Alliance, so Wang Can has no plans to take this path; another plan is to occupy Guanzhong and master the key points of conquering the Central Plains.
Therefore, when Wang Can sent Lu Meng, he still did not stop.
Wang Can's strength is still slowly expanding.
…
Lü Meng left with his troops, bringing with him forty ordinary soldiers and ten soldiers from the Langya Camp.
He was wearing an ordinary black robe, a scarf on his head, and a white jade belt around his waist. At this time, Lu Meng had a trace of heroism and a trace of elegance, which made people's eyes brighten.
Huang Xu changed his outfit, also wearing a black robe, and did not hold a big knife.
As for Norimitsu, he was wearing a warrior robe and followed behind the two men. He did not carry a hammer and followed the soldiers on the road.
After the group left Chang'an, Lu Meng asked Huang Xu and Dianman to behave well and not attract attention. After listening to what Jia Xu, Li Ru and Guo Jia said, he went back and thought about it carefully for a long time, and finally used two words.
This summed up the instructions of the three people, which is to "hide one's clumsiness", to hide one's abilities and at the same time complete the task.
The group traveled lightly and rode horses quickly.
At night, Lu Meng also did not let anyone rest. Instead, he would stop and rest for a while when he was tired. He never rested for a whole night.
Lu Meng rushed on the road very fast because they had to catch up with Cao Cao. They could not let Cao Cao return to Yanzhou and catch up again. By then they would enter Cao Cao's territory and it would be even more difficult to do anything.
On the second day, Lu Meng and his party met Zhao Yun.
The team stopped, and Lu Meng rode his horse and ran towards Zhao Yun, bowing his hands and bowing.
Zhao Yun asked: "Amen, what are you doing?"
At that moment, Lu Meng briefly explained the matter, but Lu Meng did not finish it in front of everyone. After all, coercing Cao Cao to kill Liu Xie was not a small matter. If word spread, it would definitely have a negative impact on Wang Can. It was unfavorable, so Lu Meng only said that he would send an envoy to Cao Ying, but did not explain the specific mission clearly.
After hearing this, Zhao Yun frowned.
After a long while, he said: "Let's do this. I will lead the 400 Po Army Camps to escort you, and the other soldiers from the Po Army Camps will return to Chang'an and send a message back to the Lord."
After hearing this, Lu Meng shook his head and said: "No, I took people to see Cao Cao, and I deliberately used an inconspicuous person like me to go there. If you go, maybe Cao Cao will detain you, and then the teacher's plan will be inevitable We are affected. We are going deep into Cao’s camp. You’d better not go and report the news quickly!”
Seeing Lu Meng's insistence, Zhao Yun did not continue to speak and led his troops back directly.
After a short interlude, Lu Meng led the troops and continued on their way.
…
After Cao Cao's army rested for two days, the young emperor Liu Xie did not insist on stopping. He followed Cao Cao's army and set off for Hangu Pass. However, the closer they got to Hangu Pass, the more panicked the little emperor felt, because Cao Cao would definitely not go to Luoyang. , instead he would lead his troops back to Yanzhou, which for Liu Xie was like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
If he went to Luoyang and was not at Cao Cao's base camp, Liu Xie could still have something to plan.
Once he went to Yanzhou, he couldn't afford to make any waves.
During this period, Liu Xie often talked to Cao Cao to persuade him, hoping that Cao Cao could go to Luoyang. But who was Cao Cao? He was determined and thoughtful, and could not shake his determination.
Therefore, Liu Xie often summoned the ministers of the DPRK and China to have private discussions without knowing what to say.
Although Cao Cao knew that Liu Xie had convened courtiers to conspire, he did not act rashly, but waited quietly to see what would happen. As long as he had control of the military and Xu Chu protected his safety, he did not need to worry about Liu Xie.
The army was on its way, but because Liu Xie and the important officials in the court were riding in horse-drawn carriages, their journey was very slow.
This speed was simply unbearable for Cao Cao.
But the little emperor was the prerequisite for his great righteousness, and Cao Cao still endured it.
In the evening, the army stopped and began to rest. The soldiers buried pots to make rice. The camp was filled with the fragrant smell of meat. Tents were set up one after another for the little emperor and others to rest. Cao Cao was sitting in his tent, lying down He closed his eyes and meditated on the bed. At this time, the curtain of the camp tent was opened, Xu Chu walked in, and whispered: "My lord, something big has happened."
When Cao Cao heard this, he woke up with a start and asked, "Has something happened to the little emperor?"
His first reaction was that something was wrong with Liu Xie, otherwise it wouldn't be a big deal.
Xu Chu shook his head and said: "My lord, a cavalryman from the Yizhou Army just rushed to the camp on horseback. He said that he was an envoy from Wang Can who came to see my lord and that he had important matters to discuss!"
"Is this happening?"
When Cao Cao heard this, he stood up and asked, "How far are they from the camp?"
Xu Chu reported back: "About fifteen miles!"
Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "Send for Zhicai immediately. If Wang Can's envoy arrives at the camp with his people, receive him well. You must not show any slightest care, and you are not allowed to provoke anyone to attack. When you protect them,
And we have to put them aside and leave them in the camp for a while to dry out for a while."
"promise!"
When Xu Chu heard this, he left immediately.
