Gan Ning and Zhou Tai sailed west in warships, heading north on the Tuojiang River, a tributary of the Yangtze River, and finally arriving in Chengdu.

When the two arrived in Chengdu, they were in a state of flux, and their spirits were a little sluggish, and they were both worried when they got the news that Cao Cao united the princes of the world to attack Yizhou.

Although Yizhou has natural dangers to resist, the princes are powerful and should not be underestimated.

After Gan Ning and Zhou Tai arrived in the city by car, they immediately rushed to Xun You's mansion to meet Xun You.

In the hall, Xun You, Gan Ning, and Zhou Taibin sat down.

He looked at Gan Ning, with a puzzled look on his face, and asked, "Xingba, why did you suddenly return to Chengdu with the sailors of the Yangtze River, do you have something important to visit the lord?" Xun You knew that Gan Ning was dormant and on the Yangtze River, but he didn't know Zhou Tai, because after Zhou Tai joined the navy, he didn't meet Xun You, Cheng Yu and others.

Gan Ning looked anxious and said, "Mr. Xun, something is wrong! When I was patrolling the river, I caught Cao Cao's envoy, who was ordered by Cao Cao to go to Jiangdong to persuade Sun Jian to let Sun Jian attack the lord. Not only that, Cao Cao also sent people to meet Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu and others, and invited the princes of the world to attack Yizhou, the situation is very serious! ”

After finishing speaking, Gan Ning carefully talked about all the things that he had found when he met Zhang Hao and interrogated Zhang Hao, and did not miss anything.

"Huh??"

Xun You exclaimed violently, and his face changed greatly.

After a pause, Xun You said in a deep voice: "Xingba, this matter is not trivial, are you sure this is true?" ”

For a while, Xun You was also a little surprised. Cao Cao and Wang Can were at war, and they had just suffered a defeat, and they even invited the princes of the world to attack Yizhou, which was really powerful! In fact, this is also the reason why Wang Can is too famous, and Wang Can has enmity with Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, and Yuan Shao is ambitious, so Cao Cao can easily facilitate this matter.

Gan Ning saw that Xun You didn't believe it, and took out a letter from his cuff.

This letter was written by Cao Cao to Sun Jian, wanting Sun Jian to attack Wang Can from the south.

Gan Ning said: "The matter has been very clear, Cao Cao's invitation to the princes to attack Yizhou is true, and Cao Cao's envoy Zhang Hao I also brought it, but there is no need to see Zhang Hao, hurry up and think of how to deal with it." ”

Xun You saw that Gan Ning said solemnly, and knew that what he said was true.

He forced himself to calm down, shouting, "Come on! ”

The voice fell, and an attendant quickly ran in from outside the hall and saluted Xun You. Xun You ordered loudly: "Immediately send someone to invite Shi A and Zhongde Gong to come to the mansion, and say that there is something important to discuss." Remember, no matter what they're doing, let them put down what they're doing and come to the house right away. ”

"No!"

The squire replied and turned to carry out the order.

Xun You stroked his forehead with his hand and felt a big headache.

He thought about it carefully and continued: "Xingba, Sun Nut rejected Cao Cao's request and was unwilling to send troops to attack Yizhou, which is a good thing. In this way, we don't have to think about Jiangdong's affairs, and the pressure has been reduced a lot, you return to Chengdu this time, you don't have to go back for the time being, stay and help the lord defend against foreign enemies. ”

"No!"

Gan Ning and Zhou Tai agreed, with excited expressions on their faces.

Xun You said again: "However, although you stay, you must also send a reply to the navy army, and ask them to strictly monitor the movements of Sun Jian's army, so as not to prevent Sun Jian from suddenly attacking and catching us by surprise." If you don't return to the naval army, you have to let the naval army under your command monitor the movements of Jiangdong, and you can't ignore it. ”

Gan Ning hugged his fists and said: "Mr. Xun rest assured, Ning understands!" ”

At this time, Xun You said worriedly: "Cao Cao invited the princes of the world, and there was Liu Biao among them. In the past two years, the lord and Liu Biao have formed an alliance and become allies of each other, I don't know what Liu Biao's attitude is now? If Liu Biao can maintain an alliance with the lord, the danger of the lord will be much smaller, and if Liu Biao can get involved, the east of Yizhou will be very dangerous. ”

Zhou Tai smiled and said: "Mr. Xun is too worried, Liu Biao is as timid as a mouse, and he doesn't dare to send troops." ”

Because Gan Ning and Zhou Tai traveled along the river in a warship, and the rowing soldiers took turns to rest and row alternately, so the warship kept hurrying all the time and arrived in Chengdu earlier than the envoy sent by Liu Biao, so Xun You did not know that Liu Biao had killed Sun Yi, the envoy sent by Cao Cao, and also sent someone to Chengdu with news.

Xun You saw Zhou Tai interject and asked, "Xingba, is he?" ”

Without waiting for Gan Ning's introduction, Zhou Tai hugged his fists and said: "Mr. Xun, my surname is Zhou, my name is Tai, my name is Youping, and I am the deputy governor of the navy." ”

Zhou Tai also only said that he served as the deputy governor of the water, but did not say about the military rank and other official positions.

After hearing this, Xun You immediately understood that Zhou Tai must be a great general, not an entourage brought by Gan Ning, after all, being able to serve as the deputy governor of the navy is already a great official position under Wang Can. Holding such an important position, his ability must be outstanding, and Xun Yu saw that Zhou Tai was like a tiger, with a round waist and broad shoulders, and he was even more impressed.

"Step! Trample! ……”

Outside the hall, there was a rush of footsteps.

Shi Ah was dressed in a black robe, with a black iron sword hanging from his waist, and walked forward. He is not tall, but he is very strong, and he has a faint smile on his face, giving people the feeling of spring breeze. However, Shi A's eyes are bright, making people feel like they are facing an eagle falcon.

Xun You's martial arts are not proficient, so he doesn't have such a feeling.

However, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai were superb in martial arts, and when they saw Shi A, Shi A's gaze also swept over the two, and their eyes collided, making the two feel a sense of danger.

Shi Ah grinned and smiled.

In an instant, the feeling of danger disappeared again.

He walked into the hall and bowed to Xun You: "Mr. Xun, what happened to make you so anxious?" When Xun You sent someone, Shi A was dealing with the matter of the Hero Building, and when he heard the person sent by Xun You say that no matter what, he had to let go of everything, and Shi A immediately had a bad premonition, so that Xun You could be like this, something big must have happened.

When Xun Yu heard this, he immediately told the matter again.

After hearing this, Shi A was stunned and said, "Isn't this situation the same as when the princes begged Dong?" ”

Xun You nodded and said, "Although the scale is the same, the final outcome will definitely be Cao Cao's defeat!" When these words were spoken, they were categorical and firm.

Xun You paused, and then said: "The lord stayed in Chang'an with Fengxiao, Wen He, Wen You and others, and he didn't know Cao Cao's conspiracy yet, we must pass the news to the lord as soon as possible, so that the lord can be prepared." ”

Shi A Zhengse said: "Mr. Xun, don't worry, the teacher asked me to find carrier pigeons a few months ago to pass on the news. After months of training and experimentation, carrier pigeons can already come in handy. I would have people ride horses and whip up the news to the north, and at the same time let the carrier pigeon deliver the news, so that the news could be delivered safely. ”

In June, Wang Can led his troops to attack Meridian Valley, and had the idea of training carrier pigeons to carry messages.

In private, Wang Can and Wang Yue mentioned it.

Wang Can didn't take it to heart, but Wang Yue remembered it.

He sent people back to Chengdu to deliver the news, and asked Shi A to train carrier pigeons to deliver the news. In fact, during the Chu-Han War, Liu Bang had used carrier pigeons, but it was not used on a large scale at that time, and it was not popularized.

Shi Ah knew that the matter was urgent, so he didn't linger, so he got up directly and saluted Xun You, and turned to leave.

As soon as he stepped out of the hall, Cheng Yu had already walked in.

As for the reason, I will explain that there are a lot of things encountered during the National Day, Xiaodong can only guarantee the bottom of the four watches, it is really powerless, people are tired and panicked, and the spirit is not good, sorry, I hope you understand.
