The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 318

Fengji's people shouted a few times on the bank, and two small boats came from the other bank.

Among them was a general of Xuzhou standing on a small boat.

The general was not very old, and when the boat docked, he asked, "Who is Feng Yuantu?"

Feng Ji stepped forward to greet him: "I am Feng Ji, how dare I ask General Gao's name?"

"I am Ling Cao under the command of the Marquis of Chu." General Xuzhou replied, "I was ordered by General Zhou to come here to meet Duke Feng."

"There is General Lao Ling." Feng Ji thanked him, and jumped into a small boat under the guidance of Ling Cao.

The boat was not big, and it was impossible for all the attendants he brought to board the boat, only six or seven people accompanied him on two small boats, and Ling Cao didn't seem to have any intention of letting anyone else board the boat.

"General Ling." Looking at the entourage still on the shore, Feng Ji asked Ling Cao: "Not all of my entourage have boarded the ship yet."

"The ship is so big, let them wait here." Ling Cao replied flatly.

Feng Ji said with some embarrassment: "They are all people around me. Since I want to cross the river to see General Zhou, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to keep them here."

"Why is it inappropriate?" Ling Cao asked, "Could it be that the person who wants to meet General Zhou is not Feng Gong, but your entourage?"

Ling Cao's tone was not very good, Feng Ji hurriedly explained: "General Ling is worrying too much, of course I asked to see General Zhou."

"Since it is Fenggong asking to see General Zhou, what can you do if your entourage can't get on the boat?" Ling Cao replied, "If Fenggong is willing to cross the river, I will take you there. If you don't plan to cross the river, then stay Here, I won't force it."

Looking at the group of followers who were still on the bank, knowing that Ling Cao would not be able to cross the river to pick them up again, Feng Ji shouted: "You guys wait here on the bank of the river, when I see General Zhou, I will be back in two days .”

Feng Ji had already boarded the boat, and Ling Cao also ordered the rowing soldiers to go across the river bank. Although the attendants on the bank were worried, they could only watch him leave.

The Yanjin Ferry is not very wide, so Ling Cao took Feng Ji to the opposite side of the river by boat.

When the boat approached the river bank, he stepped off the boat first, stood on the bank and said to Feng Ji: "You can get off the boat, Mr. Feng."

Feng Ji agreed and jumped onto the river bank.

After landing, he asked Ling Cao, "May I ask General Ling, when will General Zhou plan to see me?"

"General Zhou is very busy. Of course, I'll see you today if I'm free, and tomorrow if I'm free." Ling Cao said, "If Mr. Feng is worried about the entourage on the other side, he can send someone to the other side every day and tell them that you are here." Very good."

"Is General Zhou not free to see me today?" Feng Ji asked Ling Cao with some disappointment.

"I don't know." Ling Cao replied indifferently: "Feng Gong first went to the camp to rest. When General Zhou can see you, of course he will send someone to invite you."

Since receiving Fengji, Ling Cao has given him the feeling that it is difficult to get close to him.

Feng Ji was quite knowledgeable, and was not annoyed by Ling Cao's attitude. Ling Cao's tone was not good, but he was more respectful.

"Feng Gong, please come with me." Ling Cao greeted Feng Ji when the few attendants who followed Feng Ji across the river got off the boat.

After thanking Ling Cao, Feng Ji followed him towards the barracks.

After entering the barracks, Ling Cao personally put him in a tent, and before leaving, he said: "This is a barracks, please don't wander around. I know the history of Fenggong, and most of the soldiers They don’t even know. They found strangers in the camp, and if it’s not good for the public, they’re afraid that the guild will suffer a lot.”

What Ling Cao said was nothing more than to tell Feng Ji not to run around in the barracks, otherwise he would definitely encounter trouble.

Of course Feng Ji knew that this was the barracks of the Xuzhou Army.

If he ran around, he would inevitably be suspected of spying on the military situation.

Immediately agreed to Ling Cao, Feng Ji said: "Thank you General, please also send a message to General Zhou when you see General Zhou. Let me just say that I have indeed brought benefits to General Zhou by coming here."

"I'll pass on your words to General Zhou." Ling Cao replied, "General Zhou didn't invite Mr. Feng to come over, so please behave yourself."

He bowed his hands and turned to leave.

Feng Ji stayed in the tent, feeling restless for a while.

When I came to the south bank of the Yellow River, I thought I could meet Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu never gave him a chance to meet him, and instead put him under house arrest in a tent.

Although the followers who followed were all in the nearby tent, they were surrounded by the Xuzhou army.

It is impossible for the generals of the Xuzhou Army not to know their identities.

If he wandered around in the barracks, there might be Xuzhou army officers and soldiers coming to make trouble.

After all, when Ling Cao was about to leave, the words left for him were not very good.

After picking up Fengji and crossing the river, Ling Cao went to report to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu stood beside the sand table, still fiddling with the small flag on the sand table.

Every few moments, he would change the position of the small flag. Thinking about it, it seemed that there were not many, so he changed the position and inserted it again.

"General Zhou." Ling Cao came outside the tent: "I have already brought Feng Ji over."

Zhou Yu didn't raise his head, and asked plainly, "How many followers did he bring?"

"I brought a lot of entourage, and I left them on the other side of the river bank. Only seven people followed." Ling Cao replied.

"Come in and tell." Ling Cao finally waited until Zhou Yu asked him to enter the account.

Entering the handsome tent, he stood facing Zhou Yu with his fists folded.

Zhou Yu still didn't raise his head, but asked in a very flat voice, "Did Feng Ji not say anything when you did this?"

"He didn't say anything." Ling Cao replied, "I settled him down and reminded him not to wander around in the barracks, and he agreed."

"Feng Ji has a good eye." Zhou Yu smiled lightly, "No wonder Yuan Shao asked him to come here to meet me. If it were someone else, he might have turned against you."

"I feel the same way." Ling Cao replied, "Feng Ji is quite well-known in Hebei, but he is not annoyed when I treat him like this, but he can still hold his breath. It is really puzzling."

"It's nothing that I can't understand." Zhou Yu said: "If he doesn't know some things about the world, how can he have such a high popularity in Hebei? How can Yuan Shao reuse him? He can call the wind and call the rain in Hebei, but this is not them after all. The territory of Yanjin. It is our people who guard Yanjin."

Ling Cao didn't say anything more, Zhou Yu told him: "You go, invite the two old generals Huang Gai and Cheng Pu, and tell them that I have something important to discuss with them."

After receiving the order, Ling Cao withdrew from the command post.

Zhou Yu continued to stand beside the sand table and fiddle with the small flag on it.

Not long after, Huang Gai and Cheng Pu arrived.

The two walked into the tent, and Cheng Pu asked Zhou Yu, "Gong Jin wants us to come here, why is there such a hurry?"

"Actually, it's not an important matter." Zhou Yu greeted them first, and then asked them: "I want to ask the two old generals, you met Yuan Shao when you followed General Sun, what kind of man is he?" What kind of person?"

Cheng Pu and Huang Gai glanced at each other, and Cheng Pu replied: "Since Gong Jin asked, I can only talk about Yuan Shao based on my past impressions. He is a man of great success and self-willed. Back then, the fourteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo. , the old general led us to kill Huaxiong first, and then broke through Hulao Pass. However, Yuan Shao and more than ten other princes had no news of sending troops to help. They just drank and had fun every day, talking about how loyal they were to the Han Dynasty, but He has been reluctant to raise troops for a long time. It was said that the fourteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo, but in fact the only ones who really fought against Dong Zhuo were our General Sun Lai and Cao Cao."

"So Cao Cao is more reliable than Yuan Shao?" Zhou Yu asked the two with a slight smile.

Cheng Pu and Huang Gai were taken aback by his question.

Cheng Pu asked, "Why does Gong Jin ask these questions?"

"Actually, it's nothing. I just want to know more about Yuan Shao." Zhou Yu said, "Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles. Yuan Shao knows us a little bit. Although he doesn't know much, after all, he has inquired about it. But we are completely indifferent to her. Unfamiliar, his temperament, and how many soldiers and horses he has under his command, I can only analyze some of them from the report. But no matter how I analyze it, after all, I don’t understand it very well. I heard from two old generals Yes, it's far more straightforward than I thought."

"What's the use of Gong Jin knowing Yuan Shao?" Cheng Pu said, "Maybe it's because I don't know how to use troops. I think Gong Jin should be busy training soldiers and making deployments, and just wait for the messenger sent to Dangshan to come back." , and then decide how to deal with Fengji. It’s not asking us how Yuan Shao is.”

"Old General Cheng is biased when he says that." Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said to Cheng Pu: "Although I don't know Yuan Shao well, I can get to know him through other methods. I can let the painter do his voice and appearance." Take out the portrait and put it in the account all day to watch. Second, his character determines how he will use his troops next. If I fail to judge his character clearly, I may suffer a lot if I encounter him on the battlefield in the future. loss."

Cheng Pu and Huang Gai looked at each other again.

Huang Gai asked, "Did Gong Jin think of how to deal with Yuan Shao?"

"There are more than 100 ways to deal with Yuan Shao. What I have to do is not to consider whether there is a way, but which of these ways is usable and which one is definitely not to be used." Zhou Yu said: "Through the two people just now, General to my soldiers, I think that when Yuan Shao comes to Yanjin, he will not launch an attack immediately, but will choose the opposite bank to station first, and wait for the time he thinks is appropriate."

"That is to say, Gong Jin has no specific way to deal with it yet?" Huang Gai asked again.

"Old General Huang said that, but it's inappropriate." Zhou Yu chuckled, and Huang Gai said, "Of course I have a way to deal with it, but I can't make a final judgment yet. We don't know that Yuan Shao went to the North Bank. Where will he choose to be stationed, how long will he be stationed there, and what time does he think is the most suitable time?"

Looking at the two old generals Cheng Pu and Huang Ai, Zhou Yu said: "My strategy will not be decided until Yuan Shao arrives. It is useless to say more now."

Speaking of Zhexi, Zhou Yu said to Huang Gai and Cheng Pu: "Please come over here, actually I have something important to do for you."

"If Gongjin needs us to do anything, just ask us to do it." Cheng Pu replied: "Although we are the generals of the old general, we still know some military etiquette. Since Gongjin is the chief general, no matter how we arrange Whatever we do, we will do our best.”

"Ling Cao brought Feng Ji over." Zhou Yu said to the two of them.

Both Huang Gai and Cheng Pu were taken aback, and Cheng Pu asked, "Feng Ji has come to the army?"

"It's already here." Zhou Yu replied: "Ling Cao settled him down, and only said that I was busy with military affairs and didn't have time to take care of him. But I felt that since the guests came, there must be two prestigious people. Seeing him can make him relax his vigilance and say everything that needs to be said."

Cheng Pu and Huang Gai didn't quite understand what Zhou Yu meant, and they looked at him blankly.

Zhou Yu went on to say: "I would like to invite the two generals to meet Feng Ji one after another. But they can't go together, they have to go separately."

"If Gong Jin has any plan, just say it, and we will act accordingly." Zhou Yu didn't say all the words, and Cheng Pu couldn't help urging him to continue talking anxiously.

"General Cheng, please meet Feng Ji first." Zhou Yu said, "Don't be polite to him, just ask him why he came to see me. I don't think he will admit that he is here to persuade me to surrender, but will only say that he is here. Fix it. When the time comes, General Cheng will reprimand him to make him understand that not everyone in the army agrees with my surrender."

"That is to say, I want me to give Feng Ji a good look, so that he will no longer have expectations for coming to the South Bank this time." Cheng Pu nodded, indicating that he had understood Zhou Yu's meaning.

He understood, so Zhou Yu stopped talking to him, but looked at Huang Gai and said, "When General Huang goes to see Feng Ji, you can't contradict him like General Cheng, but you have to coax him and say that you can't do anything. It’s not good to follow the Marquis of Chu.”

"I don't think there's anything wrong with following the Marquis of Chu." Huang Gai replied, "If you have to tell me, I really don't know how to say it."

"Old General Huang doesn't have to care about what he thinks of Marquis Chu, as long as you can tell whether or not Marquis Chu is right in front of Feng Ji." Zhou Yu said, "You have to let Feng Ji know that life in the army was very unpleasant. .If Fengji intends to use you, you are willing to lead your troops to surrender to Yuan Shao."

"What's the point of doing this?" Huang Gai didn't want to understand the meaning of Zhou Yu's plan, so he couldn't help asking him.

"The meaning is that if he thinks it's a good thing to come here, even if he can't persuade Zhou Yu to surrender, at least he has found an internal response to cooperate with the outside." Zhou Yu said to Huang Gai: "The old general has always been honest, you go to see Feng Ji, He shouldn't notice anything."

"I understand what Gong Jin means." Huang Gai asked again, "When should I go to see Feng Ji?"

"General Cheng can go now, and General Huang, please go back and rest first, and then go to see Fengji in the middle of the night." Zhou Yu specifically explained: "The two generals are going to see Fengji, so don't follow too closely. Especially Huang General, if you can't go during the day, then wait until night. The more you ask for a meeting at night, the more Feng Ji will believe in General Huang's sincerity."
