In the city of Xuzhou, the latest news finally came from Huang County.

Since Zhang Fei evacuated Huang County, the work of the internal guards in Huang County has become extremely difficult, especially when transmitting information, they must be extra careful, so as not to be caught in a net. But from the ground to the underground, this was originally the environment for the internal guard battalion to practice often, and the news finally came back to Xuzhou, and Liu Lan, who received the letter, called Shiyi and Xu Shu to discuss the military situation.

At this time, Liu Lan was most worried that Wen Chou would go south, but from the battle of letters, Liu Lan got the news that Wen Chou had not gone south for the time being, and these 50,000 or 60,000 people stayed in Huang County, which was really a little incomprehensible.

Is it because of the money, or is it afraid that Zhang Fei will come south again?

Liu Lan didn't know the situation of Hou Qian, so he could only guess, unlike Wen Chou, who knew in his heart that Hou Qian was in Donglai, but where he was hiding, few people knew, and he really couldn't get the exact news of him from Hou Fang, and Ding Changshou knew very little.

But he is not retreating now, which also shows that Qingzhou is their weak link now, and Wen Chou must ensure the stability of Qingzhou before he dares to really go south, otherwise after the troops go south, someone will definitely attack this weak point again.

Since Wen Chou does not move, then the next thing will become simple, you can follow Shiyi's plan, rush to Shouchun, as long as Lu Su's side can succeed, once Zhang Xun retreats, then the Yuan Cao coalition army will collapse without a fight, and with the collapse of the Yuan Cao coalition army, only the Jizhou army will remain, and it is difficult to support it alone, even if Cao Cao does not retreat, and still wants to knock on the door with Yuan Shao, it is not worth mentioning.

Therefore, under the premise of Lu Su's attack on Shouchun, the situation on the Peixian side, the three of them agreed that continuing to let Zhao Yun stare at Cao Cao's grain and grass is considered a hindsight, regardless of whether Zhao Yun can continue to succeed, but at least it can disgust Cao Cao, of course, this is also an option for Lu Su after he cannot achieve the desired results.

If there is no success on Lu Su's side, but Zhao Yun's side still has a chance, if he can destroy the grain and grass of the coalition army again, then he believes that the coalition army will also collapse without a fight.

This kind of thinking is the best choice to deal with Pei County now, and it can even be said to be the right medicine, after all, everyone in the world knows that Cao Cao is short of food, this is not a secret, why the battle of Guandu Tian Feng and Zhu suggested that Yuan Shao Xu Xu Nantu was to consume Cao Cao to death, but Yuan Shao fought directly with Cao Cao with many soldiers, and was finally defeated by him in a battle.

Therefore, with Cao Cao Liu Lan is still not willing to fight with him, killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, the gains outweigh the losses, just force him back, or just do it like this, Liu Lan can afford it, but he is unlikely to spend too long, although Li Tong helps him control Zhang Xiu, but don't forget that he still has Zhang Ning's backhand, now the Yellow Turban Army is going to stir Yanzhou upside down, he doesn't believe that Cao Cao is not clear, he is now nothing more than riding a tiger is difficult, withdraw unwillingly, if you don't withdraw, you will see that Houfang is being harassed by various attacks.

Under such a stalemate, Yuan Shu's order to withdraw troops was transmitted to Pei County, this is Yuan Shu's second withdrawal order, and it is also the second time that he was forced to withdraw because of Shouchun, but this time it is fundamentally different from the previous one, the second battle of Xuzhou, Zhang Xun knew that this was Liu Lan's plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, so he was disobeying orders and retreating slowly, hoping to take advantage of it.

But this time, Shouchun is situation is really dangerous, although he also understands that it is unlikely that the 5,000 people in Lusu will become a climate, but after all, there are disasters and refugees, and whatever happens at that time is possible.

It can be said that this time is exactly the same as the previous situation, you knew that you would fall for Liu Lan's trick when you withdrew your troops and went back, but you had to withdraw your troops because of the occurrence of various situations in Shouchun.

Moreover, after the withdrawal of troops back this time, he knew that he had less than 50,000 people under his account, and at least he had to dismiss the ordinary people to return to his hometown.

Zhang Xun and Yang Hong came to see Cao Cao together, and he said goodbye, there was no room for maneuver, Cao Cao also gave his own understanding and helplessness, and then the two of them said goodbye, and soon the Shouchun army camp in Pei County was demolished, and it became a wilderness in less than an hour.

There was only Cao Cao's 50,000-strong army left outside Pei County, and this news was detected by Zhao Yun's scouts, who passed through Zhao Yun as soon as possible, and Zhao Yun reported the news to Liu Lan.

Liu Lan, who had been discussing with Lu Su for an afternoon, left the two to eat and eat, and when the meal was just finished and they were about to leave one after another, Liu Lan's personal soldiers appeared and handed the letter to Xu Chu, and then Xu Chu reported to the lord.

It has only been a month since he sent Lu Su to send troops, and in his expectations, even if there is a result, it will take at least half a month, but he didn't expect that it was just the winter solstice, and he harvested such an exciting piece of good news.

For Lu Su, Liu Lan knows his ability too well, he just needs a chance to prove himself through military exploits now, and now that he has done it, he believes that no one will question Lu Su in the future, and because Zhang Fei has great respect for him, it will be no problem to rise to the top in the army in the future.

Moreover, Lu Su is the kind of Confucian general that Liu Lan has been longing for, and now he Zang Xia's martial arts figures, other generals, are all new high and strange masters, but Lu Su is very humble, this kind of person looks like a harmless person to humans and animals, but when it comes to the battlefield, it may be more terrifying than Guan Zhang.

In fact, Lu is such a person, after all, what kind of good man who goes to the meeting alone is just a portrayal in the romance, and there is a big difference from himself.

When Liu Lan showed Zhao Yun's documents to the two, both of them sat down quietly, and Xu Shu was the first to speak: "Lu Su has always been convinced that he will succeed in his humble position, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. ”

"Haha, there are also people who look away, so tell me, what kind of person Lu Su is in your heart." Liu Lan asked with a smile, it's not that he doesn't want to ask Shiyi, it's really that Lu Su is too unfamiliar with Shiyi, or there are many people under Liu Lan's account who can say their names, but none of them are familiar with each other, so he is completely a spectator at the moment, just listen to the conversation between the two quietly, after all, even if he wants to interject, there is no possibility, he doesn't understand at all, even if he understands, it's just some hearsay.

Xu Shu thought for a while and said with a smile: "The humble position has always believed that Lu Su's literary attainments are quite profound, even if he can't be a great Confucian in the world, but he should also be able to be the same as Chen Yuanlong, not a traditional pedantic literati, although the humble position has had a lot of contact with him, but the humble position found that this person is not as arrogant as Chen Yuanlong, maybe this is the reason for his family, after all, the Chen family is the four major families in Xuzhou, and the Lu Su family only has some reputation in the Xiapi country."

Therefore, Lu Su is not as ambitious as Chen Yuanlong, this ambition can be understood as the pursuit of power, Chen Yuanlong wants to become a person under the lord alone, and Lu Su has never had this kind of performance, so he feels that he is more indifferent to fame and fortune.

"Not necessarily." Liu Lan shook his head, laughed, and said, "It seems that Yuan will still look away when he looks at people." Liu Lan didn't know why Xu Shu said this, whether he wanted to elevate Lu Su so much, or take the opportunity to suppress Chen Deng, although Chen Deng has now been suspended by him to recuperate, but Xu Shu's words are really a bit of a soft knife to kill, if it really leaves him with the impression that this person is ambitious, even if Chen Deng is well in the future, I am afraid that he will not dare to reuse him.

But if Xu Shu only analyzes it based on what he sees, it means that Lu Su is more scheming, and he can make people like Xu Shu say good things for him, and he can also see the impression that this person leaves on people, just like a saint.

And it is precisely because of this that Liu Lan will directly deny Xu Shu, because Lu Su is not a saint, nor is he a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, if he is indifferent to fame and fortune, he will not be outstanding, if he is indifferent to fame and fortune, he will not offer himself a couch strategy, and advocate avoiding the grassland to seize Jingzhou.

Therefore, Lu Su is not only not indifferent to fame and fortune, but attaches great importance to fame and fortune, even if he does not value profit, he also attaches great importance to fame, whether it is a pro-year or an old man, fame is more important than profit, and the world knows it in one fell swoop, and no one in the world knows the king, which is what the literati of this era are pursuing.

And just like Xu Shu said, if Lu Su is really such a person, then Liu Lan really doesn't dare to use him, because he doesn't ask for anything, such a person is the most terrible person, because you don't know what he wants, or what he really wants, has been hidden by him, this kind of person, how dare Liu Lan use him, but it is not as pure as Chen Deng.

Hypocrites and real villains.

Therefore, it is estimated that Xu Shu said this because of Xu Shu's lack of understanding of Lu Su.

Liu Lan, who had been discussing with Lu Su for an afternoon, left the two to eat and eat, and when the meal was just finished and they were about to leave one after another, Liu Lan's personal soldiers appeared and handed the letter to Xu Chu, and then Xu Chu reported to the lord.
