In March of Yangchun, the weather gets warmer and everything recovers.

In the streets and alleys of Ye County, there are people walking around.

The whole Ye County seemed to come alive suddenly.However, there were not many people coming and going outside the General's Mansion.Most of the people who came had certain identities.

"Roll! Roll!"

As the wheels turned, a carriage drove slowly outside the General's Mansion.

After a while, the carriage stopped, the door curtain of the carriage was rolled up, and a hale and hearty old man stepped down.He has gray temples, neatly trimmed hair and beard, and is in good spirits.This person is very neatly dressed, with a dignified bearing, more elegant than others.This person is none other than Qiao Xuan who has been living in Ye County since he came to Ye County from Jiangdong.

This time when he came to the General's Mansion, Qiao Xuan came to 'remind' Wang Lei.Ever since they arrived in Ye County, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao lived in the General's Mansion for several years.

Xiao Qiao is still a little girl, so it doesn't have much influence.Da Qiao was different, he had already passed the age of Jiji, if Wang Lei didn't give an explanation, Qiao Xuan would really take Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao to leave Ye County.

Qiao Xuan picked the right time to visit Wang Lei this time. [

It was the New Year's Eve when Wang Lei led his troops back to Ye County from Chang'an.On the one hand, Wang Lei had to deal with military and political affairs; on the other hand, he was an envoy for the New Year, so Wang Lei had a lot of things to do, and Qiao Xuan didn't want to disturb Wang Lei, so he kept procrastinating.Up to now, Zhang Ja led his troops to block Cao Cao's army on the front line of Puyang, and the front line of Qinghe Kingdom has also formed a tug of war, and the two sides are in a stalemate.

The war is at a stalemate, and there will be no major moves for the time being.

At this time, Wang Lei rarely had time.

Therefore, Qiao Xuan must seize this opportunity and remind Wang Lei to give Da Qiao a title.

Qiao Xuan walked to the door, but the soldiers guarding the door did not dare to stop him, allowing Qiao Xuan to enter.Qiao Xuan came straight to the hall, and Wang Lei rushed over immediately.

In the hall, the host and guest are seated.

Wang Lei smiled and said, "Old Qiao, how are you doing in the academy?"

After Qiao Xuan came to Ye County, he did not become an official, but taught in an academy.Qiao Xuan shook his head lightly, sighed again, and said embarrassingly: "This old man is having a hard time, and he almost loses face to see others. When he sees people in the academy, he finds it hard to face."

Wang Lei immediately asked: "What happened? Mr. Qiao said it, and I will help you vent your anger."

Qiao Xuan said: "General, you are the one who made me feel ashamed."

With a swipe, Wang Lei's complexion changed slightly, and he suddenly felt more embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, this person was actually him.

But he didn't provoke Qiao Xuan, the two sides did not cross the river.Wang Lei looked puzzled and asked, "Old Qiao, why did I make you ashamed to face others, I have been busy with government affairs all the time."

Qiao Xuan snorted and said, "General, do you know how the teachers at the academy teased me when they saw me?"

Wang Lei shook his head with an unknown expression. [

Qiao Xuan snorted, and said angrily: "When the people in the academy saw the old man, they said, 'Mr. Qiao, when will your daughter, Da Qiao Tianzi, be able to drink the wedding wine?' Listen, this What are you talking about!"

Qiao Xuan became more and more angry as he spoke, and said excitedly: "It's fine that Da Qiao lives in my house, but this girl has been living in the general's house. Until now, Da Qiao has no status, and it has been unclear." I don't know, it's inappropriate, quite inappropriate. Besides, Da Qiao has reached the age of 16, and if she drags on, she will be a big girl, please take care of Da Qiao's reputation, general, and marry Da Qiao to pass the family."

After a pause, Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "As long as the general and the general get married, the old man won't have to be ridiculed anymore, and he can talk about the affairs of the general and the general openly."

When Wang Lei heard this, he smiled embarrassingly.

Wang Lei really didn't take this matter to heart. There were too many things to deal with, and he was so busy that he was dizzy, so he didn't have time to deal with personal matters.Wang Lei nodded heavily, and said: "Old Qiao's words are reasonable, and I also agree to marry Da Qiao. Mr. Qiao went directly to the backyard to discuss with the old man, choose an auspicious day, and I will marry Da Qiao."

Qiao Xuan was overjoyed, stood up awkwardly, and said: "The general is busy with business, I don't want to disturb you, I go to the backyard to discuss with the old man."

In a short time, Qiao Xuan had disappeared in the hall.

Wang Lei shook his head lightly and went back to the study.Now is the season of March, this time is a good time for farming, and the cultivation of grain cannot be delayed.Moreover, Cao Cao's army is still stationed on the front line of Yanzhou and Qingzhou, threatening Jizhou at all times.Wang Lei has to do a good job in spring plowing and ensure that the war will not be affected. The balance must be grasped.

After processing the documents brought up, before noon, Qiao Xuan and the old man arrived hand in hand, and set the time for marrying Da Qiao as the sixteenth of June, and formally set up a banquet to marry Da Qiao.

Wang Lei directly agreed and set a time for the wedding.

It is only March now, and there is still some time before getting married.When it was time to eat lunch at noon, Wang Lei went back to the backyard and suddenly found that Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao had left.After questioning, Wang Lei learned that Qiao Xuan had taken the two daughters away, under the pretense of teaching him a lesson.

……

Yanzhou, East County.

Cao Jun's camp was stationed here, and Cao Cao also stayed in Dongjun.

Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhicai and Xun You with worry on his face in the large tent of the Chinese army, and said worriedly: "Military division, Gongda, since we fought last year, we have fought fiercely with Zhang Jaw for several months. The morale of our army has been affected to a certain extent by being unable to attack for a long time. Before, we envisioned a breakthrough from the Qinghe Kingdom, but Tian Yu, the Prime Minister of the Qinghe Kingdom, also had a good defense, which made it difficult for us to make a breakthrough. Even Tian Yu Yu's Zhang Jai in Qinghe State and Wei County echoed each other, which caused a certain amount of pressure on us. I only have Qingzhou and Yanzhou under my command. Even if we vigorously garrison fields or even adopt official garrison, we still cannot compare with Wang Lei in a war of attrition. We are the ones who are defeated in the end, and it is absolutely impossible to continue like this.”

Xi Zhicai analyzed: "My lord's analysis is reasonable. Not only is Wang Lei powerful, but now he has even controlled the little emperor, coercing the emperor to command the princes, and he has righteousness in hand. It can be said that Wang Lei is quite powerful today. Based on our It is very difficult to defeat Wang Lei."

Xun You said: "Now, we have to re-plan the strategic approach."

Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "Yes, we must reconsider."

Cao Cao said: "Military adviser, Feng Xiao, the strategy we considered before was to unite with Li Ru, but what we didn't expect was that Wang Lei quietly bought off the people around Dong Huang, and with the help of Dong Lian, the internal response, Li Ru was defeated. .Wang Lei captured Chang'an and Bingzhou, and the north became one piece. At this time, if we can't hit Wang Lei again, we can only lose."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Since my debut, I, Cao Cao, have been defeated several times, but every time, I got up and fought again. Losing is not terrible, What I am afraid of is that I will not fight again if I am defeated. I am still alive, so I can still fight until the last one. Please help me, two gentlemen, to defeat Wang Lei."

The high-spirited fighting spirit gushed out.

Poor self-confidence emanates from Cao Cao.

This confidence infected Xi Zhicai and Xun You, and there was a trace of unyielding fighting spirit on their anxious cheeks.

Why are they loyal to Cao Cao?

It is the spirit of Cao Cao that makes them loyal to them.

Xun You squinted his eyes, and said slowly: "If we want to hit Wang Lei hard, we can't rely on our strength alone. I still think that the previous strategy of joining forces with Li Ru was correct, but it's a pity that the sky failed. This time, I still I think that the rest of the princes should be united. Today's Wang Lei is like the powerful Qin in the Warring States Period, while the Lord, Liu Bei, Sun Ce and other princes are all princes in the world. The only way to restrain Wang Lei is Lianheng. Please, Lord, unite the princes from all walks of life , Crusade Wang Lei."

Xi Zhicai said: "Sun Ce established a foundation, completely separated Jiangdong, and even competed with Liu Biao. In addition, a part of Yangzhou is also in the hands of Sun Ce. Sun Ce is quite strong and can be united. I am willing to personally go to Jiangdong to unite Sun Ce."

Cao Cao thought for a while, and said: "So, it's hard work for the military division."

After a pause, Cao Cao said, "Xu Ding!"

"The end is here!"

Xu Ding strode in, clasped his fists and saluted.

Cao Cao ordered: "The military division is about to go to Jiangdong. You will lead a hundred tiger and leopard riders to escort the military division south. Remember, no matter what happens, the safety of the military division is the most important thing."

"promise!"

Xu Ding nodded, turned around and went to gather the soldiers.

Xi Zhicai continued: "My lord, apart from Jiangdong, there is also Tao Qian from Xuzhou. Before, we kept putting pressure on Xuzhou to use troops, but at this juncture, we can't think about him for the time being. We must unite with Tao Qian. Besides, There is also Liu Bei in Yuzhou, who should also be united."

Cao Cao said: "Don't worry, military adviser, I will send someone to contact Tao Qian, Liu Bei and others."

Xun You rolled his eyes and suddenly said, "My lord, I have missed a crucial point."

"Which place?" Cao Cao asked.

Xun You replied: "The princes competed for the Central Plains, and the goal was the Central Plains, but they forgot the place where Emperor Gao Liu Bang started his family-Hanzhong. This area is connected to Xiliang, and it is also close to Guanzhong. It is a very important place. Zhang Lu soldiers in Hanzhong Sufficient, abundant food and grass, if he is willing to send troops, it will be of great help to us."

While talking, Xun You got up and walked to the map, gestured, and said slowly: "Wang Lei's territory starts from Bohai County in the east, and continues all the way west to Xiliang. The battle line is very long. Wang Lei occupies a large area. Sufficient soldiers are an advantage, but a long battle line also has a great weakness, which will weaken the troops. We unite the various princes and open up multiple fronts, which will definitely weaken Wang Lei."

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he praised: "Gongda's analysis is very good, I agree."

Xun You said: "Since my lord agrees, I am willing to go to Hanzhong in person. According to the previous information, Wang Lei is busy with spring farming and has no plans to start a war for the time being. Taking advantage of the truce, I will persuade Zhang Lu."

"Xu Chu!"

It was difficult for Cao Cao to refuse Xun You's request, so he could only choose someone to accompany Xun You.

Xu Chu strode in, cupping his fists and saluting.

Cao Cao ordered: "Xu Chu, Mr. Xun is going to Hanzhong, you take a hundred tigers and leopards to protect him."

Xun You said, "My lord, you can't!"

Cao Cao flicked his sleeves, and said unquestionably: "Sir, there is no need to refuse. After Xu Chu left, I still have many strong generals. Li Dian, Yu Jin and others are all good people. Go ahead, sir. Dongjun is waiting for good news from Mr.

Xun You was moved for a while, so he had to agree.

Xu Chu went to gather soldiers, Cao Cao, Xun You, and Xi Zhicai discussed again, and Xi Zhicai and Xun You got up and left.
