Chapter 78
General Dong didn't introduce himself, but Chu Nan guessed that he should be the father of Dong Guiren, Dong Cheng.

In the past, he was a subordinate general of Niu Fu's tent, and he was regarded as Dong Zhuo's lineage. one of the biggest beneficiaries.

It should be him. In Xuchang City, apart from Dong Cheng, Chu Nan couldn't think of any general surnamed Dong who was old with Zhang Liao.

"It's a farewell in the past, and I don't want to see each other again. It's so embarrassing." Dong Cheng sighed with emotion. In Chu Nan's view, it was somewhat showing off.

After all, Dong Cheng used to be a general of Niu Fu's department, and his rank was similar to that of Zhang Liao. Now, in terms of status, Zhang Liao is just a general under the command of the princes, while Dong Cheng has been appointed as a general of chariots and cavalry, and he is the father-in-law of the emperor. Zhang Liao, who was about the same in the past, was far superior. Seeing Zhang Liao now, it was inevitable that he would show off and look down.

"I don't know why the general invited me to wait this time?" Zhang Liao glanced at Chu Nan, seeing that he didn't mean to speak, he asked Dong Cheng.

"I'm here to remind Wen Yuan that Mr. Cao is no longer in Xuchang. He sent troops to Nanyang a few days ago. I'm afraid he's already in Nanyang at this time." Dong Cheng looked at Zhang Liao, the complacency on his face subsided a little, Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "I see you are going to visit Cao Gong, and I can't bear to wait for you to waste time here, so I tell you."

Zhang Liao frowned slightly. Although he had guessed for a long time, but now that the guess was confirmed, he still felt a little gloomy in his heart. This meant that the purpose of their trip might not be answered.

"Thank you, Mr. Dong, for letting me know. If it wasn't for the general, I would have been kept in the dark." Chu Nan smiled at Dong Cheng.

"Fengxian and I worked together in the past after all, and I really can't bear to be teased like this." Dong Cheng sighed, then looked at Chu Nan and said, "This is..."

"I'm under Chu Nan, and now I'm listening to it under Marquis Wen's tent." Chu Nan smiled.

"The surname Chu is also a common surname." Dong Cheng nodded. He couldn't remember which family the Chu surname in Xuzhou. It doesn't help anymore, let's go back and make plans earlier, this is my letterhead from Fengxian, please pass it on."

Chu Nan took the bamboo slips with both hands, and agreed, "What else can Dong Gong ask?"

Dong Cheng shook his head.

Chu Nan and Zhang Liao saluted, and left with the bamboo slips given by Dong Cheng.

Leaving Dong Cheng's restaurant, Zhang Liao frowned slightly, wondering why Dong Cheng was looking for them?It was nothing more than sending a bamboo slip, and it was so mysterious. Turning to look at the thoughtful Chu Nan, Zhang Liao asked, "Ziyan, what do you think?"

"Dong Cheng and Cao Cao are not of the same mind. Although I don't know what is written in this letter, I think they want to invite father-in-law as foreign aid." Chu Nan put the bamboo slips into his arms and said casually.

He remembered that Dong Cheng was the initiator of the Yidai Zhao later, but he forgot the exact time, and Dong Cheng didn't mention it just now. To do something.

In Xuchang City, this can be regarded as strength that can be borrowed.

"Anyway, Cao Cao has already set out to conquer Nanyang, so it's meaningless to stay here. I'll leave Xuchang immediately!" Chu Nan said, looking at Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao nodded. He also had the same idea. It really doesn't make much sense to stay in Xuchang now. It's better to go to Nanyang to try his luck.

Back at the post house, I told Lu Lingqi about the general situation. Lu Lingqi had no opinion on Chu Nan's decision, or she didn't care about it at all.

At that moment, a group of people packed their bags and left the city with six personal guards.

"Your Majesty hasn't summoned the envoy to go back like this?" Che Zhou came to stop him after hearing the news, and frowned at Chu Nan and his party.

"Since Mr. Cao has already set out to fight, what use is it for me to stay here?" Chu Nan snorted coldly, and said angrily, "I will definitely tell Marquis Wen the truth about this matter!"

Hearing this, Che Zhou frowned and said: "But everyone just left like this, the court side, the end will be difficult to explain!"

"What's the matter? You still want to force me to wait?" Zhang Liao's eyes turned cold, and he looked at Che Zhou.

"At least you need to meet the Son of Heaven!" Che Zhou stopped them.

"If I want to leave, you might stop me?" Chu Nan asked back.

"Sir, don't embarrass the last general." Che Zhou looked at Chu Nan with displeasure on his face.

"Well said, I just want to make things difficult for you, what do you do?" Chu Nan walked straight forward after finishing speaking.

Che Zhou reached out to stop him, but saw the monster ant lying on Chu Nan's shoulder suddenly fly up, under Che Zhou's astonished gaze, instantly transformed into a fighting form, and punched Che Zhou in the face.

Under the huge force, Che Zhou was beaten and flew upside down, flew several somersaults in a row, and hit a wall, looking at the little guy who turned into a flying ant and landed on Chu Nan's shoulder with a dazed expression.

"Pay attention to your identity!" Chu Nan snorted coldly, and led the crowd straight out of the city gate. The soldiers who came with Che Zhou wanted to stop him, but seeing the six guards staring at him, he was intimidated by his aura for a while, and dared not stop him , watching helplessly as the other party left the city gate.

Che Zhou shook his head, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He glanced at the direction where everyone left, got up with a muffled grunt, and staggered towards the city.

"Leave?" Shang Shufu, Xun Yu glanced at the red and swollen Che Zhou, not too surprised, it was planned to anger Lu Bu's envoy, and it was worthwhile to suffer some grievances.

"Well, that Chu Nan is quite rude." Che Zhou nodded and said resentfully, "Xun Shangshu, will Lu Bu take advantage of the situation to attack?"

"Lü Bu is never so decisive. Moreover, the lord has sent a secret letter, Zhang Xiu has surrendered, and Nanyang has been settled. At this time, Lv Bu's attack may be in line with the lord's intention."

Cao Cao originally wanted to plot Lu Bu first, but because of Zhang Xiu's incident, he chose to appease Lu Bu and pacify Zhang Xiu first. Now that Zhang Xiu has made a decision, if Lu Bu invades at this time, it is in line with Cao Cao's wishes. Cao Cao can attack Lu Bu logically.

Xun Yu turned around, glanced at Che Zhou and said with a smile: "The general is tired, let's go to rest, the day of attacking Xuzhou may not be far away."

"Here, I will take my leave!" Che Zhou didn't dare to ask again, and bowed to leave after bowing to Xun Yu.

After Che Zhou left, Xun Yu came to a huge map in the room. After observing it for a long time, he nodded silently: If Xuzhou goes down, the encirclement of Yuan Shu will be completed. If Yuan Shu is eaten, there will be a battle with Yuan Shao The strength of confrontation!

But why hasn't the lord come back?
Xun Yu suddenly frowned and thought that it had been a few days since the news of Zhang Xiu's surrender came back. It is said that after Cao Cao stabilized Nanyang, he should have come back. Why has there been no news of the return of the army so far?
Now that Lu Bu's envoy has returned to Xuzhou in anger, the next step is to deal with Lu Bu!

Xun Yu felt that he had to be urged, and immediately he went to Nanyang to urge Cao Cao to return...
