Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 200 Serious nonsense
Xu County near Luoyang City.

It took more than ten days before Cao Jun's second battalion arrived here. Under Xun Yu's overall planning and Yu Jin and Le Jin's all-out efforts, part of the palace was also built.

However, now they encountered a problem.

"Hey... what's the matter! People say that it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. Now, there are no stones and trees? How can I continue to build palaces!"

No wonder Le Jin complained so much.

All the stones and trees around Xu County were collected, but... How can it be so easy to build a palace, even if it is one size smaller?

"Alas..." Le Jin sighed helplessly, the palace could not be built anymore.

"Xun Sima? You have the most ideas, now... what should we do?" Yu Jin asked Xun Yu.

Contrary to Le Jin's and Yu Jin's helplessness, Xun Yu seemed to be in a good mood, and he was reading a letter in his hand. This was a letter from Chenliu County in Yanzhou, written by Lu Yu himself.

There is a piece of information written on it, an important piece of information!

"Have the scouts been dispatched for a few days?" Xun Yu asked...

Scout... Scout?
Both Le Jin and Yu Jin are a bit confused...

It is true that Xun Sima sent a large number of scouts to inquire about the surrounding situation, but...the most urgent thing is not to inquire from the outside. The stones in Xu County have bottomed out. How can Xun Sima still have the time to worry about scouts?

"Xun Sima...you...also..." Le Jin scratched his head and wanted to sigh, Xun Sima, your heart is really big!
at this time…

"Report..."

Several scouts hurried back.

They quickly walked to Xun Yu, Le Jin, and Yu Jin. "Xun Sima, the two generals... Soldiers and horses from Jingzhou were found fifty miles east of Xu County."

Well.

The soldiers and horses of Jingzhou, as soon as these five words came out, the eyes of Yu Jin and Le Jin froze, and they wondered in their hearts, could it be that Duke Cao’s plan to welcome the emperor was seen through by Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, and he also... also went north to meet the emperor Bar?

According to the current soldiers and horses in Jingzhou... If they send troops, then Cao Gong will be in danger, and the plan to welcome the emperor will be in danger!

The backs of Le Jin and Yu Jin were subconsciously sweating...

On the contrary, it was Xun Yu, his eyes opened in vain, and his tone was exceptionally calm. "How many Jingzhou soldiers?"

"Five...five hundred!"

Wow... As soon as these words came out, Le Jin and Yu Jin let out a long breath, five hundred... what is five hundred enough for?

and many more…

They suddenly realized a serious problem, five hundred Jingzhou soldiers going north?What are you doing?Give away the head?

Before Le Jin and Yu Jin could speak.

The words of the scout continued to spread. "They... They are escorting a large amount of stone and wood to Luoyang. It seems... It seems that they are ordered to prepare stone and wood for the construction of the palace in Luoyang City!"

Well…

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Le Jin and Yu Jin burst into light at the same time.

"Haha..." Xun Yu smiled and nodded. He picked up the letter in his hand again. Lu Yu wrote clearly in this bamboo slip that Jingzhou Mu Liubiao will send the materials needed for the palace.

Of course, Xun Yu was actually surprised...

Was Liu Biao's brain kicked by a donkey?According to the contents of Lu Yu's letter, the emperor will issue an edict to him, asking him to provide the stone materials and funds needed to build the palace...

With such a god-given opportunity, why didn't Liu Biao go north to meet the emperor?

Just send stones and coins to Luoyang so simply and purely?

It's not just stupid, it's just stupid and cute, Xun Yu really can't think of any other words to describe Liu Biao's coquettish operation.

"Cough cough..."

With a light cough, Xun Yu faced Yu Jin and Le Jin. "Two generals, no, is our stone here?"

Come?coming…

Yu Jin suddenly realized it, but Le Jin paused and added a sentence. "Military division... If we want to rob, isn't it... unethical?"

Morality?This question made Xun Yu stupid...

He claims to be a gentleman!

"Cough cough..."

With another cough, Xun Yu turned around and stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky. "Did I say that we were going to rob? We are building a palace for the emperor. Can this be called robbing? This is taking... people who study, it is taking, not robbing, you can figure it out!"

Ha ha…

Xun Yu blurted out this, Yu Jin and Le Jin laughed, they really liked listening to Xun Yu's serious nonsense!

The two looked at each other, grabbed...ah no, take it, don't shudder!

"Xun Sima, I'll go get those stones later, take my leave, take my leave!" Yu Jin bowed his hands and said goodbye...

"Farewell! Hahahaha..." Le Jin also cupped his hands, laughing while talking.

Xun Yu suddenly thought of something and hurriedly called to stop. "wait…"

what…

The two turned their heads, coughing... After coughing lightly, Xun Yu finally ordered: "Although it's not robbing, it's 'taking', but this face is still needed, change clothes!"

Oh...oh!

Yu Jin and Le Jin nodded in agreement, Xun Sima was thoughtful.

You act in plain clothes, this Sili is not peaceful, there are thieves and rogues everywhere, who knows who robbed the stones, trees and coins?

"Hahaha..." Yu Jin laughed and said, "Xun Sima is still thoughtful!"

Le Jin nodded, without saying a word, but muttered in his heart. "The honest man is shameless, then these soldiers and bandits really have nothing to do with them!"

...

that day.

A group of "rogue bandits" ransacked the Jingzhou convoy. The Jingzhou soldiers followed the strategy of non-resistance.

This is in line with the style of Jingzhou soldiers.

Moreover, from Lu Yu's point of view... this matter, Liu Biao will definitely make a big deal into a small matter, and if the trivial matter is turned into a small matter, let it go!
In the final analysis, Lu Yu understands this "Three Kingdoms Symposium No. 1" Liu Zhoumu too well.

The reason why Liu Biao wanted to provide these supplies to the emperor was just for the sake of face, the clan members of the Han family have received the favor of the emperor for the world, and if the emperor is in trouble, how could he not lend a helping hand!
But...if this batch of stones is really sent to Luoyang, what if...the Son of Heaven opens his mouth and continues?Doesn't Liu Biao still have to give it?
It's better to send less soldiers and let the robbers take away these stones.

In this way, it's not that Liu Biao didn't help the emperor, but there were too many bandits and bandits between Jingzhou and Sili, and Liu Biao couldn't deliver the supplies!Even Liu Biao couldn't do it!
It's like, some iron rice bowl jobs, if you do the job well, the leader will always use you, the so-called whipping fast cow!
But if you don't do your job well, and it shows that it's not that you don't want to do a good job, but your ability is limited.

Next time, the leader will not dare to use you, for fear that you will drop your job to the ground.

In this way, the latter is more relaxed at work.

But the former worked hard, and finally made exactly the same money. This is the so-called iron rice bowl.

Liu Biao is well versed in this...

Due to his reputation, he has to help, but he can't fully help... He must show that it's not that I don't help, but that my ability is limited.

It can be said that Yu Jin and Le Jin did him a big favor this time by looting!

In any case, this large amount of stone materials fell into the hands of Cao Jun. Now, the palace can continue to be built in Xudu. It is really another village!
"Hey, I didn't expect... this Liu Biao is quite fat!"

Looking at the carts of stones in front of him, Le Jin couldn't help but sigh with emotion...

"Hahaha..." Yu Jin, with a strand of beard, smiled and said, "I finally know why Xun Sima sent scouts to investigate. It turns out...it's because of this, Xun Sima can see farther! These stones, I am afraid that we will dig them for half a year. Can't make it out."

"Hey..." Hearing this, Le Jin waved his hand. "Wen Ze? Do you remember when Xun Sima started sending out scouts?"

"When?" Yu Jin paused, quite curious.

Le Jin's expression became serious. "Just after reading the letter from Yanzhou, I heard that this letter was written by Lu Gongcao himself!"

Uh...Lu Gongcao?

As soon as this remark came out, Yu Jin's eyes froze, and he was obedient... Has this legendary Lu Gongcao made his words come true again?
But...why didn't you feel surprised this time?

It seems... this is already his routine operation, right?

Thanks to them, now... the "threshold" of surprise for these generals has become a little higher.

...

...

Five days later!
"Da da da…"

On the Mangdang Mountain Road, Cao Cao led thousands of cavalry galloping.

Walking to a high slope, overlooking the entire dilapidated Luoyang City from the high slope.

Cao Cao is only one step away from Luoyang City.

And got the news that the emperor has entered the border of Luoyang, this time is just right!

"Get it..."

The Jueying horse neighed, Cao Cao stopped the horse, and the entire cavalry team stopped in an instant.

"Happy, happy, you see, we climbed Mount Mangdang together with the sun."

Cao Cao sighed...

"Mr. Cao..." Mao Jie was panting heavily as he rode the horse. "We have traveled more than 600 miles in three days for the last section of the road. This man is not tired, but our horses are too. Let's rest!"

"Okay..." Cao Cao got off his horse. "Then rest for a while... wait for the sun to rise, and continue to set off!"

Sitting on a stone step, Cao Cao did not forget to ask. "Is there any movement from Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao?"

Mao Jie turned over and dismounted, also panting for a long time. "According to the scouts from Jizhou, Huainan, and Jingzhou, the emperor issued three edicts to invite Yuan Shao to escort him, but Yuan Shao did not obey the edicts! Yuan Shu was having a lively fight with Lu Bu and Liu Bei, and he had no time to look around! It is a pity that It belongs to Liu Biao..."

Speaking of this, Mao Jie paused, still a little out of breath. As a civil servant, he accompanied Cao Cao on a march of more than 1000 miles westward to Luoyang, and his health was a little too much!

call…

After taking a long breath, Mao Jie continued: "The emperor issued an edict to let Liu Biao cooperate with Dong Cheng to build the palace in Luoyang. I never thought that Liu Biao only sent five hundred soldiers to Luoyang to send some stone materials, and he did not lead the army personally. Welcome to the Son of Heaven!"

Uh... stone?
Cao Cao paused for a moment, and he immediately understood what Liu Biao was thinking.

This is not sending stones to the emperor, it is clearly sending stones to bandits and bandits along the way!

This clan member of the Han family has ghosts in his heart!

However, such a heaven-sent opportunity...Liu Biao did not go north to meet the emperor, as Yuer said, he was just a panelist.

"Haha!" Cao Cao said with a smile, "Yuan Shao and Liu Biao are so close to Mangdang Mountain, but they didn't come. People are so stupid. I really like it! Hahaha..."

After laughing, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes. "It seems that the Son of Heaven is none other than me."

ah... ah...

Mao Jie was taken aback, this...

"Ahem..." Cao Cao coughed lightly, realizing that he had slipped his words. "I mean, it seems that Cao Cao is the only one who can save the Son of Heaven!"

The voice just fell...

"Da da da..." Another group of vigorous hooves sounded.

"Brother, you're finally here..." It was Xia Houyuan who spoke. He and Cao Chun led the tiger and leopard riders to arrive here one step ahead, and had already sent scouts to find out the location of the specific emperor.

"Have you found the emperor?" Cao Cao asked urgently...

Xia Houyuan didn't get off his horse and answered directly. "We found ruts at the foot of the mountain!"

"How wide is the space between the wheels?" Cao Cao then asked...

"The size between the wheels is six feet six!" Xia Houyuan blurted out.

As soon as this remark came out... Cao Cao was taken aback. He studied the subject of Baigong in Taixue, and his final graduation project was a carriage built with Zhang Miao and Hu Muban. People are more familiar than him.

Six feet six, this is a specification that only the emperor's chariot has.

"Not good!" Cao Cao frowned. "The emperor's car has already passed...Let's set off immediately, and catch up with all our strength!"

This…

Xia Houyuan paused and hurriedly reminded. "Judging from the ruts, this car has passed for a long time. What if we can't catch up?"

"Can't catch up?" Cao Cao became excited. "Even if you chase me to Luoyang City, to Changle Palace, to heaven and earth, you will chase the Son of Heaven!"

talking room...

Cao Cao didn't hesitate any longer, and directly whipped Xia Houyuan's horse...

Immediately, the tiger and leopard cavalry led by Xia Houyuan and Cao Chun galloped away.

And Cao Cao at this moment, his eyes are also extremely anxious and hot...

"Mr. Cao..." Mao Jie reminded. "General Xiahou has already left, let's... let's rest for a while before leaving? Just now... Cao Gong also ordered that we start when the sun is three poles!"

"It's been three poles!" Cao Cao immediately got on his horse...

Uh... Mao Jie paused.

"But... in my opinion, it seems to be less than two rods!"

"I said three poles are three poles! You say it's useless... let's go..." While speaking, Cao Cao was about to whip the horse.

at this time.

"Report..." Another scout galloped over. "Mr. Cao, the troops of General Dun and General Hong were traveling from Xu County to Luoyang City. They just ran into Li Jue's troops who were chasing the holy driver...the two generals only had more than 5000 people, but... Li Jue had more than [-] troops. Cool cavalry!"

Huo…

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly narrowed.

What a guy... Li Jue has brought [-] Xiliang iron cavalry to chase after him, if he can't retreat the enemy?How to welcome the emperor?
call…

With a long breath, Cao Cao was nervous. Both Yuan Rang and Zi Lian were more than brave but not resourceful... Now it is not good to meet Xiliang cavalry who are several times our army...

"The whole army listens to the order, go to Chiyuan Yuanrang first! You! Lead the way!"

In a word, the scout turned his horse's head, and nearly [-] riders followed the scout's hooves and roared towards the west side of Luoyang City.

seem…

This will be the first head-on collision between Cao Jun and Li Jue's army!

...

...

Yanzhou, Chenliu County, Caifu.

"Miss Cai! Where's Lu Gongcao? I have something urgent to do here!"

Early in the morning, Cao Ren rushed into the Cai Mansion with an extremely nervous expression on his face...

Cai Zhaoji was slightly taken aback...

In my impression, General Cao Ren's temperament was calm, even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, he would not move like a mountain. It was the first time he saw him so flustered.

"Brother Yu...Brother Yu is in the study...I...I'll take General Cao there."

Cai Zhaoji hurriedly led the way.

While talking, the two turned around the corridor and came to the study.

At this time, Dian Wei stood aside outside the study, looking around cautiously, because his mother entrusted him with the important task of protecting Mr. Lu, he did not dare to relax for a moment!

"Please trouble Diandu to tell Brother Yu that General Cao is here..." Cai Zhaoji said.

"Since it's Miss Cai Yan and General Cao, there's no need to report, the two of you can just enter." Dian Wei stepped aside and motioned for them to enter.

crunch...

The door was pushed open, and unlike Cao Ren's anxious expression, Lu Yu was actually dozing off!
Looking at it like this, you can tell that you must have fought another [-] rounds with that house-filling maid last night, and you're all sluggish today!
"Brother Yu, wake up, General Cao is here..."

yawn~~
Lu Yu yawned greatly, and immediately... rubbed his sleepy eyes, and when he opened them, he saw Cao Ren's burning eyes.

"General Cao? What's the matter...why is your expression so ecstatic?" Lu Yu asked back...

"Something went wrong!" Cao Ren said loudly. "According to the letter sent from the front line, Yuan Rang and Zi Lian discovered Li Jue's [-] troops three days ago. They did not choose to retreat, but went directly to meet them! I am afraid that today...the two armies have already collided."

Speaking of this, Cao Ren felt panicked...

How can you not panic?

Clan brothers Xiahou Dun and Clan brother Cao Hong only have a few thousand soldiers, and most of them are infantry. Facing Xiliang iron cavalry, how can there be any reason to go up to them?Isn't this giving away people's heads!

From Cao Ren's point of view, it must be that the recklessness of these two clan brothers and clan brothers has come up again.

Rather…

This incident happened, and Cao Ren had no one around him to discuss it with. How to remedy this?
"Oh..." Lu Yu yawned again...

seems unconcerned...

Be good, Cao Ren's eyes are about to show sparks, he thinks it's a big deal, dare you... that's it?Is this also a matter?
"Calm down, calm down..." Lu Yu stood up slowly... "Nothing big will happen, besides, isn't Military Adviser Xun You still here?"

"Hey..."

Cao Ren was still a little dejected and stomped his feet.

"The location from Xu County to Luoyang is on the west side of Luoyang, where there is an endless plain. On such a plain, no matter how clever the Xun army division is, these [-] infantry are no match for [-] cavalry!"

Cao Ren's speech speed became faster and faster, and his voice became more urgent...

"Calm down, calm down!" Lu Yu tried to appease him... "General Cao, if I say... General Xiahou defeated the enemy with [-] soldiers without bloodshed? Do you believe it or not?"

ah... ah...

[-] infantry retreating [-] cavalry?

Why?
Cao Ren felt a little dazed, this was completely out of common sense, Li Jue must have chased here to take back the emperor, how could it be possible for Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong and the others to retreat without bloodshed?

Unless Li Jue's head was kicked by a donkey, otherwise...not possible!
"Lu Gongcao, why don't you half-talk? Why don't you talk about it, Yuan Rang and Zi Lian, the five thousand foot soldiers... how did they retreat the enemy without bloodshed?"

Hiss... this one.

Lu Yu's eyes must be. "General Cao's words start with a letter I wrote to my elder brother ten days ago!"

Huo…

a letter?

Cao Ren wanted to put his ear to Lu Yu's mouth, could it be a letter?Will it have such a great power?
Of course, the letter was still the one made of bamboo.

The credible content is worth a hundred thousand troops.
