When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 394 Yan Liang: I think Fengxian is also a very wise man ()

"Let me stay behind to guard Hulao Pass?"

After receiving Huang Zhong's military order, Cao Ren inexplicably felt a little short of breath. It was not out of resentment or complaint. After all, Huang Zhong asked him to stay at Hulao Pass, which showed Huang Zhong's trust in him. The importance of Hulao Pass was naturally self-evident.

But he always felt that something bad was going to happen.

For example, water?
water?
Why did he think of water?

Cao Ren's mind was in a mess and he couldn't help but look towards the north. Hulao Pass was located in the mountains and rivers, guarding a narrow passage between the northern foot of Mount Song and the Yellow River. This was the only way to get from east to west.

And the direction he was looking to the north was the Yellow River waterway.

"Sima Cao, Sima Cao! There's something strange! There's something strange! Look at the surface of the Yellow River! Thousands of sails are racing! Thousands of sails are racing!!!"

The shout of the soldier standing beside him holding a binoculars instantly brought Cao Ren's thoughts back to the present. His body trembled, and the answer seemed to be about to emerge. Why did he feel bad? The answer was right on the water!
"Hand me the telescope immediately!"

"promise."

Cao Ren, who got the telescope from the soldier, did not waste any time and could not wait to raise the telescope and put it in front of his eyes. Through the telescope, he was able to see clearly what the soldier said "a thousand sails competing"!
What caught the eye was ship after ship, including many tower ships and countless warships. They marched in a line, cutting through the water like a knife, throwing large amounts of river water into the sky. The white sails of the ships were connected into one piece, as if there was only this dazzling white between heaven and earth.

Of course, one thousand is an exaggeration.

Who is at the helm of these sails?

Not only Cao Ren, but even the soldiers beside him could guess the answer to this question. The person at the helm must be...
"Hey, comrades, do you know how many large ships I saw? Do you know who is commanding these ships?" The soldier who had just used the telescope held up ten fingers and said excitedly, "One thousand ships! A full one thousand ships! It must be the Tower Ship General Guan Yu!"

"One thousand ships?" The soldiers were all surprised. "Who are they going to attack?!"

"I do not know."

"Silence!" Just as several people were talking to each other, Cao Ren interrupted them with a stern tone.

The soldiers all shut their mouths, but one of them stepped forward and asked, "Sima Cao, what should we do now? Should we notify General Huang first?"

"Of course we have to go to see General Huang. But today we are on patrol, so we should go to the dock." Even though Cao Ren didn't want to see Guan Yu, a general should perform his duties conscientiously, and he couldn't use reluctance as an excuse. So he made up his mind, first pointed at a few people to report to Huang Zhong, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Welcome General Guan. Follow me to the dock to welcome General Guan."

shore
"General, this ship is really good, really wonderful. My previous ship is worthless compared to yours!" Gan Ning, who had tied the ship to the shore, could not help but admire the tall ship. The more he looked at it, the happier he was. He even walked forward quickly, put his face close to the hull, and gently stroked it with his hand.
"Tsk." Seeing this situation, even Guan Yu couldn't help but look strange.

Fortunately, at this moment, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

"General Guanguan"

"Ok?"

Guan Yu turned around and saw the man's figure clearly. "It turns out to be Zixiao. What's the matter?"

"I wonder why the general is here?"

"I am in charge of the transportation of food and supplies. They are all on these ships. Zixiao, don't you believe it?" As he said this, Guan Yu was about to take out the imperial edict.

Cao Ren shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, no, how could I not trust you, General? Please do as you please, General, please do as you please."

Before he could even say a few words, Cao Ren was like a rat with greased feet, and in the blink of an eye he led his soldiers away.

This made Gan Ning feel strange, "General, what did you do to make that man so scared?"

"What did you do?" Guan Yu stroked his beard and asked in confusion, "I didn't do anything? Come on, where is the military advisor?"

"Military Advisor? General, are you talking about Military Advisor Xu? The Military Advisor is busy transporting goods not far away!"

"Xingba, you and I will go help too."

"promise."

The two of them hadn't been busy for long when Guan Yu saw a familiar old friend. He was so happy that he didn't even stroke his beard, "General Huang!"

"General Guan!" Huang Zhong responded with a smile and clasped his fists.

The soldiers who followed Cao Ren in his escape did not know how long they had been running. They only stopped when they could no longer see the sails. The soldiers asked in confusion, "Sir Cao, why are we running?"

However, Cao Ren did not answer. He lowered his head, thinking about Huang Zhong’s military order today, and said to himself, "It's bad."

After all, since he was stationed at Hulao Pass, he could not avoid greeting Guan Yu.

It turns out that this is what I was worried and anxious about.
For some reason, Cao Ren, who had thought it through, calmed down. He thought to himself: When Miaocai met General Huang, he also felt a chill down his spine, but now he has overcome it, hasn't he? Miaocai can do it, so why can't I?

Cao Ren's expression gradually became firm, and he said to the soldiers: "Let's go, we will turn back."

"Ah?" The soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment.

A few days later.

"General Huang, it's been a long time since we last met. You are still as majestic as ever!"

"Majestic. How can I be so majestic? General Three, please stop teasing me."

After seeing Guan Yu off, Huang Zhong began to look forward to waiting for Zhang Fei, but no one expected that Zhang Fei would say such words when they met, which made the corners of his mouth twitch uncontrollably.

Xiahou Yuan, who was standing aside, shuddered suddenly. His right eyelid twitched wildly and his neck felt inexplicably cold. Wasn't the third general afraid that General Huang would use force?
But it was obvious that Xiahou Yuan was worrying too much. Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong gave each other a bear hug and then laughed, as if it was just a joke between good friends.

"Alas!" Zhang Fei slapped his head, grabbed Huang Zhong's arm and walked in a certain direction, "Look at my brain, come on, General Huang, I'll introduce someone to you."

"People? Who is it?" Zhang Fei's mysterious look really made Huang Zhong curious. Huang Zhong was dragged to the army by Zhang Fei, and then he realized that the person Zhang Fei was talking about was named Xun You.

The name sounds unfamiliar, but it was Jia Xu's arrangement, and Liu Bei nodded, so he simply decided to let Xun You serve as military advisor.

Until Zhang Fei pulled Huang Zhong to the corner of the wall, he lowered his voice and said, "General Huang, although Xun You is the adopted son of Xun Yu, do you know who Xun You is when I saw him in the fairyland?" "Third General, if you have something to say, just say it directly, don't keep me in suspense, I am really anxious to death!"

"Hey, General Huang, this man is Cao Mengde's strategist!"

"The mastermind."

Huang Zhong looked at Cao Cao in surprise.

Cao Cao, who was talking happily with Xun You, suddenly felt uncomfortable. He looked around and happened to see Huang Zhong's passing eyes. He was confused. Why did General Huang look at me like that? Why was the look so complicated?
However, before he could ask, Zhang Fei, with a serious expression, asked Huang Zhong, Jia Xu, Cao Cao, Xun You, Chen Gong and others to gather together.

"Right now, if we want to rush to Xuzhou, we have to go around Yan Liang in Bingzhou. Mr. Wenhe, planning the entire army, finalizing the tactics, and checking for loopholes and filling in the gaps will be left to you, Gongtai and Gongda."

"Good!" Jia Xu gently waved his feather fan and nodded slowly.

This calm look always reminded Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong of a familiar figure.

Zhang Fei shook his head and stopped thinking about it. With the war imminent, he could still tell the difference between the important and the unimportant. He looked at Huang Zhong and said, "General Huang."

Huang Zhong immediately understood. He nodded and stood up and said, "Don't worry, General Three. Hulao Pass is guarded by Cao Zixiao, and the food and supplies are transported by Xiahou Miaocai. Don't worry."

Filial son? Talented?
Cao Cao was a little surprised at Huang Zhong's arrangement. It seemed that General Huang valued Zixiao particularly. But why was Miaocai in charge of food and supplies?
After all, Cao Cao did not express his doubts. Huang Zhong had many years of experience in the army and had made military achievements in Liang Province. When it came to military matters, he was definitely far inferior to him. In this case, there was naturally no need to mention it.

Soon, Jia Xu, Xun You and Chen Gong decided on the general direction and tactics. Jia Xu was the leader among the three and spoke slowly, "Generals three, General Huang, although Yan Liang won a great victory and gained Bingzhou, he seemed to be in high spirits, but in fact he was just a paper tiger. Many of the Bingzhou soldiers who surrendered were former subordinates of Dong. We learned through spies that Li Jue and Guo Si often disturbed Bingzhou. Yan Liang pursued these two while treating Xu Rong as a guest of honor."

A spy?!
Except for Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Xun You and Chen Gong, everyone present widened their eyes in disbelief.

There were spies among Yan Liang's troops? If so, wouldn't Yan Liang and his men's every move be visible?
The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more his scalp tingled. He could no longer suppress his curiosity. He moved closer to Chen Gong and asked in a low voice, "Gongtai, when you discussed this with Military Advisor Jia just now, did Military Advisor Jia tell you who was behind this? Could it be Military Advisor Jia?!"

"Military Advisor Jia never said it explicitly, but I think only Military Advisor Jia can do this." Chen Gong responded in a low voice, his tone was particularly complicated. He originally thought that in terms of talent alone, he should be on par with Jia Xu. The only difference was that he joined Liu Bei a little late. Fortunately, he entered Liu Bei's court. With hard work, he should be able to catch up with Jia Wenhe, right?

Who could have thought that the gap would inexplicably widen? When Jia Xu served as Jingzhao Yin, unlike the busy Xun Yu, Jia Xu did not stay in the government office for long every day, but his official duties were carried out in an orderly manner without any mistakes. In addition, Jia Xu even had the leisure to practice boxing and visit people. Even he did not know how Jia Xu arranged the spies, which really frustrated his pride as a scholar.

Cao Cao nodded and thought: As expected of you, this is Gongtai, gentlemen think alike.

After getting the answer, Cao Cao stopped asking questions. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully to Jia Xu's arrangements.

"While Yan Liang is lax, my fellow soldiers, we cannot delay any longer and should send out troops immediately. We will send out 100,000 troops, 50,000 of which will be led by General Huang Lao to cut off his food supplies. The remaining 50,000 will attack Yan Liang and his men by surprise with lightning speed! In this way, we can win this battle and keep Bingzhou safe!"

"Good!" Zhang Fei clapped his hands without thinking twice.

Everyone looked at each other, nodded, and uttered the word "good".

Bing province
晋阳
Yan Liang, who was sitting in the main seat, saw the servant step over the threshold and enter the hall, he hurriedly stood up. Even though the chair in the main seat was very comfortable, he did not stay for a moment. It was not because the servant had a special identity, but that the person this servant served was not ordinary!
"How is it! Is General Xu willing to surrender?!" Yan Liang's eyes were full of expectation. You know, when they were attacking Huguan, Xu Rong really made him suffer a lot. He was forced to retreat after many attacks. Xu Rong even ambushed a surprise force? !

This surprise force appeared at the most critical moment and made him lose his composure. It was really a headache. To be honest, he had no confidence in taking Huguan if it were not for Zhang He's unexpected victory and exceeding the strategic goal.

How could he have the heart to kill such a powerful person and not let Xu Rong be used by Yuan Shao? He was really unworthy of Yuan Shao's appreciation of him!
The servant lowered his head, not daring to look up at Yan Liang, and said with a hint of fear, "General, General Xu still said nothing."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Yan Liang not only did not reprimand, but burst into laughter. His laughter was so loud that it hurt the servant's ears and frightened him so much that he trembled.

Yan Liang didn't care about the servant's reaction. He paced back and forth, saying good things over and over again.

"Good! Good! General Xu is such a righteous man. If he can't be used by Governor Yuan, it will be a great pity for the world!"

Yan Liang muttered something to himself. He suddenly stopped and pointed at the servant and said, "Make sure you take good care of General Xu. If General Xu is dissatisfied with anything, I will hold you responsible!"

“Nono.”

"Now that you understand, please step back!" Yan Liang waved his hand.

The servant trembled and bowed and retreated.

"Military Advisor Tiantian!" As the servant walked out of the house, he saw Tian Feng walking towards him quickly.

Tian Feng said nothing, and passed the servant by as if he did not see him.

When Yan Liang saw Tian Feng walking towards him quickly, he thought: Does Military Advisor Tian have some urgent matter?

So he gave up the idea of ​​sitting in the main seat, walked up quickly, and asked with a smile, "Military Advisor Tian, ​​what's the matter that has you in such a hurry?"

"General." Tian Feng said sternly, "General, we can't stay in Bingzhou any longer!"

Yan Liang's smile froze, and he asked, "Why is that?"

"What do you think of Bingzhou, General?"

"Bingzhou? Bingzhou is a good place for sheep and horses." Yan Liang thought about it seriously, and this was the first thing he could think of.

Tian Feng nodded, "Yes, Bingzhou has only one advantage, which is horse breeding. However, it has many disadvantages. Foreign tribes often invade. The local population is insufficient, food and grass are scarce, and there are few wealthy cities. What's more, the court is using us to take back Bingzhou. It's an open conspiracy! We can't defend Bingzhou! It's better to make plans early, relocate the population, and return to Jizhou!"

"This" Yan Liang was a little hesitant. He had promised Lu Bu from the beginning to help Lu Bu defeat Li Jue and Guo Si, so that Lu Bu would remember his kindness and return to Yuan Shao. With the addition of Xu Rong, Huang Zhong and Chen Dao, they didn't seem so scary.
Thinking of this, Yan Liang asked tentatively: "Yuan Hao, can you stay for a few more days?"

"General!!!" Tian Feng raised his voice several tones, puffed his beard and glared, obviously angry.

So Yan Liang had no choice but to agree, "Yuan Hao, Yuan Hao, don't be angry, I, I, I promise you!"

Tian Feng's expression gradually eased. After seeing Tian Feng off, Yan Liang paced back and forth in worry. He regretted it again.

That's it, that's it.

Yan Liang picked up the wine pot and thought to himself: I might as well ask Fengxian for his opinion. Fengxian endures humiliation and bears heavy burdens, so I think he is a very wise man.

Besides, is the situation not as serious as Yuan Hao said?
