Rebirth: I’m Lv Bu

Chapter 284: Xuzhou problem

Ai Lang asked curiously: "Old Chen, listening to what you mean, it seems that someone is making trouble?"

Chen Gong nodded, "Just two days ago, two groups of people gathered at the gate of the city to get out of the city. At that time, when the war broke out, these guys wanted to take the opportunity to escape from the city! Seeing that the situation was urgent, they ordered the officers and soldiers to take them all. They were arrested. Fortunately, the number of these two groups was only over a hundred people, and the situation was under control at once without causing any serious consequences."

Ai Lang frowned, "There are only more than a hundred people? It would be okay if thousands of people make trouble!" Chen Gong nodded and said, "Subordinates have this concern."

Ailang paced back and forth in the hall, trying to figure out a way to solve this problem, but felt a very headache. Suddenly it occurred to me that when I was advancing to the city, all the shops on the original bustling streets were closed, but it would never be like this in normal times. I couldn’t help asking: “When I entered the city, all the shops in the city seemed to be closed? I didn’t seem to be. Please take the order to close the store?" Chen Gong said, "That's it. Before the war began, the merchants who had access to the city had already left the city, but did not leave. Seeing that the situation is critical, they didn't have the heart to open the door for business."

"Where is the official store? Are they still open?"

"Return to the general, the shopkeepers of the official shops are all official bureaucrats, so after the start of the war, they were assigned to help defend the city, and the shops naturally could not be opened. Nowadays, at least nine of the ten shops in the city have been closed. Up."

Ailang frowned and shook his head and said, "That's not OK! All the shops are closed. Doesn't that make the already tense atmosphere more tense and dull? Everyone has nothing to do, and the cat is at home, why don't you worry about it? Let everything return to normal. What everyone does in ordinary times and what they still do now! Especially restaurants and brothels, not only have to reopen, but also have to engage in activities with great fanfare to make the people in the city forget about war! This should be able to do so. The problem is solved!"

Chen Gong's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but praise: "The general's idea is so good! The general's point is very reasonable! Everyone will naturally become more and more afraid if there is nothing to do! If everything is returned to normal, maybe This situation can be changed! You can bring back all the shopkeepers and buddies of all official stores, and send people door-to-door to persuade all businesses and ask them to reopen. This should be easy." After a pause, Frown and said: "But the effect will be known after we have done it." Ailang said in an angry manner: "Anyway, doing this will only benefit us and there is no harm. Let's do it first. If it doesn't work, let's think of a solution. "Yes. The general is wise." Ailang laughed loudly.

Chen Gong clasped his fist and said: "General, apart from this, there is one more thing that needs to be reported to the general. Not long ago, Wen Yuan sent a report from Shouchun, saying that Cao Jun's rangers appeared on the north bank of the Huai River with unknown intentions."

Ai Lang was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Does Cao Cao want to hit me on Huainan's idea?"

"This possibility is not ruled out. I have sent someone to Ling Wen Yuan to tell him to guard against death, and there must be no negligence."

Ai Lang nodded, feeling anxious, worried about Cao Cao's plan to attack Xuzhou's subordinates to fight Huainan. Now the Huainan area is already the strategic rear of Lu Bu. If Huainan loses, the consequences will be very serious. It can be said that if Huainan loses, Xuzhou will definitely not be able to defend it. At that time, Ailang will really lose out and only be Cao Cao. My son-in-law went.

After Ailang left the northern line and returned to Xuzhou, Cao Pi launched a round of fierce attacks on Guishan. In one of them, Cao Pi used a front to attract the defenders of Guishan, but another group of soldiers sneaked into Wenshui under Guishan and attacked Wenshui. You Laishan on the south bank almost succeeded, shocking Zang Ba in a cold sweat. Fortunately, because of a mistake Cao Jun made, Lu Bujun, who was guarding Youlaishan, noticed the arrival of Cao Jun early, so that Cao Jun's surprise attack plan fell short and missed a great opportunity to break through the Lv Bujun defense line in one fell swoop. After this defeat, Cao Pi temporarily stopped the offensive in view of the exhaustion of his officers and soldiers who had been fighting for days and nights, and ordered the troops to rest and prepare to fight again.

On this day, Cao Pi was discussing the next attack strategy with Xu You in the big account. At this time, a personal soldier rushed in to report: "Grand Prince, the envoy of the lord is here!" Cao Pi hurriedly led Xu You out to welcome the envoy of the servant into the big tent.

The messenger said to Cao Pi with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to the second son!" Everyone must be surprised to see this. Isn't Cao Pi always called the eldest son? Why did this Cao Cao's messenger call him the second son? In fact, the reason is very simple. Cao Pi is the second child. Cao Cao's second son should have been called the second son. As for Xu You and others calling him the eldest son, it is just a flattery. In formal occasions, Cao Pi is just the second son, and the eldest son is Cao Ang, currently based in Xuchang. In history, Cao Ang died tragically to rescue Cao Cao in the battle of Wancheng, but here, Cao Ang did not die. Only Cao Anmin, Cao Cao's nephew, died, and Cao Ang escaped. Cao Cao still entrusts him with a heavy responsibility, and it is evident that he will stay in Xuchang when he is out on the expedition!

Cao Pi smiled and asked, "Why did the messenger say this?"

The messenger laughed and said: "The second son led the army to take Qingzhou in one fell swoop. The prime minister was very happy, and he has already entrusted the second son as the commander of the army! Shouldn't you congratulate the second son?" Cao Pi was overjoyed, but he didn't show the slightest expression on his face. come out. The messenger took out a roll of bamboo slips and presented it to Cao Pi, "At this time, the second son of the Prime Minister's letter, please look over it!" Cao Pi quickly stretched out his hands and bowed to take it.

The messenger smiled and clasped his fists and said: "The next mission has been completed, and we are leaving here." Cao Pi quickly said: "Your envoy has come from afar. It has been a hard journey. Please take a rest with me before leaving!" The messenger smiled. He said: "Second son's good intentions are in my heart! However, there is a military order, so don't dare to delay the slightest, please forgive me!" "In that case, I don't dare to stay, I will send the envoy!" The messenger sent it out.

After sending off the messenger, Cao Pi and Xu You returned to the big account. Cao Pi unfolded Cao Cao's handwritten letter and read it again, showing excitement on his face. Upon seeing this, Xu You quickly asked, "What did the Prime Minister say in the letter?" Cao Pi failed to reach him and handed the letter to Xu You.

Xu You hurriedly took the letter and read it again, with a look of joy, and said: "The lord is very encouraging to the eldest son! Seeing the meaning of this, the lord has to entrust the eldest son with greater responsibility! This is really true. Great!" Cao Pi suppressed the joy in his heart, and said to Xu You with a serious face: "Sir, from now on you can no longer call me the eldest son! This matter can't be messed up, I am the second son of my father. , Really is the second son, understand?" Xu You naturally understood what Cao Pi meant, smiled and clasped his fists: "The subordinates must obey the second son's order!" Cao Pi glanced at Xu You and laughed. Immediately, he immediately said: "Come on, let's discuss how to break through the enemy's defense line! I want my father to know that I am the most useful one!"

He turned his eyes back to Xuzhou.

Cao Jun still launches an offensive against Xuzhou every day, but the offensive is far less violent than before. Every day, the thunder is heavy and the rain is lighter, and the officers and soldiers seem to be grinding their lives.

Ailang was very surprised when he saw this scene. Chen Gong and Tian Feng next to each other looked at each other, and Chen Gong clasped his fist and said: "General, Cao Jun's performance is quite abnormal, I'm afraid there is some conspiracy!" Tian Feng continued: "Cao Cao must attack Xuzhou for a long time, so he wanted to follow Breakthrough in other directions!"

Hearing what the two said, Ellen couldn't help feeling agitated, and hurriedly asked, "Are they trying to kill Pi again?"

Chen Gong and Tian Feng pondered for a moment, and Chen Gong shook his head and said, "It should not be. Xia Pi is not far from us. If Cao Cao were to take Pi, our scouts would not be completely unaware. Moreover, after the last failure, Cao Cao should have known. Xiapi is not easy to fight, and it is no less difficult to fight Xuzhou. Cao Cao should not want to break through Xiapi...."

Ai Lang suddenly thought of Huainan, and said, "Could it be that my dog-in-law is going to fight Huainan?" Chen Gong nodded and said, "I'm afraid it is very possible! If Huainan can be captured, the battle will be extremely for us. Not good!" "As you say so, I think I should send reinforcements to Huainan!"

But when Ailang suspected that the Cao Army divided and attacked Huainan, Huainan was a peaceful scene. Zhang Liao came to the Huaihe Ferry as usual. There is a floating bridge over the Huai River. People on both sides of the Huai River travel on the floating bridge as usual, and their lives have not been affected by the ongoing war.

Zhang Liao was on the bank of the river, looking at the Xiacai county town on the opposite bank. As soon as he entered the usual peace, he could see the people traveling in and out at the gate of the city. Zhang Liao asked the commander of the bridge guarding side: "have anything unusual happened recently?" The commander clasped his fist and said: "There is nothing unusual, the general can rest assured!" Zhang Liao thought for a while and said, "Add scouts to the Huaihe River. The North Shore patrolled and told the scouts that no matter what they found, they would report to me immediately as long as there was any movement." The leader clasped his fists and promised. Zhang Liao led his soldiers to the other side for a round of inspections before returning to the barracks on the south bank. Cao Jun is now aggressively attacking Qingzhou. In order to guard Huainan more effectively, Zhang Liao had already led 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed on the south bank of the Huai River opposite Xia Cai, ready to respond to emergencies at any time.

As soon as Zhang Liao sat down, a general came to report: "Teach General, General Xu Huang's routine summons has arrived." Then he presented a roll of bamboo slips to Zhang Liao. The so-called routine communication is not an emergency message delivered after an emergency occurs, but a situation report delivered at a certain time, so that the surrounding generals and chief officials and Ailang can keep abreast of the latest situation in various places. In fact, this is not the creation of Lu Bujun, people have done this a long time ago.

Zhang Liao took the report, read it again, and muttered thoughtfully: "Sun Jianjun has stopped attacking Jingzhou? This is not good news!"
