Chapter 81

Lu Bu stared majestically at Guan Chun and Geng Wu, his aura made them very uncomfortable and worried.

There is a slight murderous look in the majesty, this is Lu Bu who wants to test Guan Chun and Geng Wu again to see if they have any conspiracy.

It was less than a dozen seconds, but to Geng Wu and Guan Chun, it seemed like centuries.

Only then did Lu Bu speak, and said, "Both of you, I, Lu Fengxian, am willing to cooperate with the Governor of Jizhou, and this matter has been decided like this!"

"I just don't know how long it will take for the horses from Bingzhou to reach Gaotang. I can send troops in advance to check and balance Cao's army in Taishan County."

Chen Gong remained silent, he had already told Lu Bu all his plans and intentions.

Lu Bu is acting according to plan now, he only wants to get the two thousand horses, and he can listen to Chen Gong for other matters.

Guan Chun smiled slightly, calmed down and said: "Marquis Wen is really bold, since this is the case, we still need to return to Jizhou to discuss this matter with the governor."

"After all, it is not easy to calculate the time to transport the war horses from Bingzhou. When I go back, I will definitely have a letter to reply."

"If Marquis Wen has agreed to this matter, then I will take my leave and return first."

As soon as Guan Chun finished speaking, Lu Bu smiled and said, "Guan Biejia should stay in Pengcheng, let me, Lu Fengxian, do my best as a landlord!"

"General Wenwei can return to Jizhou first, and when our transaction is successfully concluded, Lu Fengxian will personally escort Mr. Guan Chun to Gaotang."

Lu Bu's tone was very calm, and there was no threat in his attitude, but the meaning in his words was obvious.

Lu Bu was worried about Guan Chun and Geng Wu, so he wanted to stay alone in Pengcheng as a hostage.

What he was worried about was that if Han Fu repented, it would be a great loss to him, Lu Bu.

Geng Wu and Guan Chun looked at each other, they hesitated for a few seconds, and then made a decision.

Geng Wu clasped his fists in salute to Lu Bu: "Then thank you Marquis Wen for your hospitality. I will return to Jizhou first to report this matter."

Geng Wu bid farewell to Lu Bu and Chen Gong, he turned around and walked out of the general's mansion without anyone stopping him.

Seeing that Geng Wuguan was not nervous at all, Lu Bu believed these two even more.

Chen Gong saw that the matter was very clear, and he also nodded politely to Guan Chun: "Guan Biejia, please don't drive to the inner court for a small gathering, I will prepare a banquet for Guan Biejia."

"Today, if Guan Biejia doesn't have a good drink with Fengxian, he probably won't agree to Mr. Biejia leaving the banquet."

Chen Gong's smile looked real, but Guan Chun knew that it was a smile staged by Chen Gong.

Being polite to guests, Chen Gong's smile made Guan Chun not seem annoying, but he understood that Chen Gong was not easy.

Guan Chun was also very courteous, and he laughed loudly and replied: "Okay! Since Marquis Wen invited me to a banquet in person, then I will not refuse, Marquis Wen please!"

"Mr. Guan, please!"

Lu Bu stood up, and he took Guan Chun to the general's mansion, ready to take Guan Chun to the table.

The other strong generals under Lu Bu were in charge of guarding the city, while Zhang Liao counted the troops and escorted Guan Chun's men to Gaotang and back to Jizhou according to the military order.

Jizhou Zhongshan County County City
Qu Yi walked in the tent, he kept thinking about some recent battles, and at the same time stood still and looked at the topographic maps of Zhongshan County and Zhuozhou.

A scout leader came in from outside the tent, knelt down on one knee in front of Qu Yi, and reported the situation.

"General, Gongsun Zan's Baima Yicong divided up his troops, and the [-] Baima Yicong returned to Yuyang County. It seems that they are going north to resist the grassland aliens in Youzhou."

Hearing the scout leader's report, Qu Yi nodded slightly, and waved his hand to make the scout leader back down.

Qu Yi continued to look at the map, and after a few minutes, he shouted: "All the lieutenants come in, let the lieutenant who boarded the camp first, Sun Li, also come here."

Sun Li, courtesy name Deda.

Although he was still a young general, he was valued by Qu Yi because of his steady feet and deep knowledge of the art of war.

Starting from a young general, Sun Li's combat exploits gradually accumulated, and Qu Yi promoted him to be the first lieutenant general to enter the camp.

The main reason is that Sun Li never made mistakes, even if he failed to make meritorious deeds, he was never negligent.

All the lieutenants walked in, and Sun Li stood closest to Qu Yi.

None of the lieutenants were dissatisfied with this, because Qu Yi was clearly rewarded and punished, and the other lieutenants respected Qu Yi very much.

Moreover, Sun Li's combat exploits made the other lieutenants very envious, so he naturally thought that Sun Li deserved to be at the forefront.

Seeing that all the lieutenants had arrived, Qu Yi said, "This time, I will send troops to counterattack Gongsun Zan! We have always defended, and this time I will attack."

"However, the premise of fighting out is to ensure that Zhongshan County will not fall, otherwise we will have no face to go back to see Mr. Han Wu!"

"So, Sun Deda is guarding Zhongshan County. With you guarding the rear, I can attack Gongsun Zan with peace of mind."

When Sun Li heard that General Qu Yi trusted him to guard Zhongshan County, he immediately embraced his command, his armor clinking.

"Wang San, Li Hu, you take orders from Sun Li. When I'm not in Zhongshan County, you have full authority to follow his orders!"

"Tomorrow morning, I will personally lead the [-] first camp and [-] infantry to attack Daijun, and the other lieutenants will fight with me."

Qu Yi gave orders to all the lieutenants, and they all took orders immediately, gearing up.

Qu Yi's subordinates have been guarding Zhongshan County for a long time, almost always on the defensive, and rarely take the initiative to attack.

After defending for a long time, everyone will feel tired, and being able to counterattack is naturally a joyful thing.

All the lieutenants went to prepare for the battle one after another, and they all wanted to defeat Yan Gang, the guard general of Daijun, and win Daijun in one fell swoop.

In the afternoon of the same day, Yan Gang in Dai County received a report from the frontline spies and knew in advance that Qu Yi was going to lead troops to attack Dai County.

Yan Gang frowned.

He knew very well how powerful Qu Yi was. After all, even if Gongsun Zan personally led the troops to attack Zhongshan County, it would be useless.

Now Qu Yi took advantage of his lord's withdrawal and immediately sent troops to attack Daijun, which made Yan Gang very worried.

He has not many troops, and Daijun is mainly recruited. It is really difficult to defend Daijun.

What's more, Qu Yi chose Dai County, which is the weakest. This is the least lucrative county, even if it is conquered, it will be very weak.

Not only did they need to send troops to guard, but they also needed to travel long distances. Yan Gang didn't know why Qu Yi had to clean up himself first.

Yan Gang called all the lieutenants and gave an order: "We will try our best to guard Daijun. If Qu Yi forces to attack, we will abandon this place."

"Daijun is easy to attack and difficult to defend. Even if you give up, it's okay. As long as the lord returns with his troops, Qu Yi may not be able to defend this Daijun."

Yan Gang's lieutenants took orders one after another, and immediately went down to make arrangements for defending the city and evacuating.

Yan Gang squinted his eyes, he planned to avoid the edge, not to compete with Qu Yi's army.
