Two days later, General Li Tong, who was guarding Runan, received a letter from Xun Yu, telling him to pay attention to the situation in the county. Li Tong immediately recruited the township soldiers and concentrated the elite near Runan City.

Unfortunately, before his deployment was completed, chaos occurred. Liu Pi, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, gathered tens of thousands of old parties and suddenly launched a large-scale rebellion near Runan. Fortunately, Li Tong prepared in time and firmly held Runan, but he did not dare to attack easily. A standoff ensued between the two sides, with the rebels taking the opportunity to loot near Runan.

After the news reached Xu Du, a difficult problem was placed in front of Xun Yu.

Cao Cao's main force was on the way to Guandu, Lejin and Yu Ban guarded Laiwu, Taishan, Cao Hong and Xiahoudun guarded Yingchuan Changshe and Fanchang counties, in case the Ma family attacked, and the only mobile corps that could rescue Runan was only in Cao Ren's department in Xudu.

If you don't save it, Runan will be in danger; If you save, you will be empty. To save or not to save has become the focus of controversy. Cao Ren himself swore an oath, patted his chest and said that the siege of Runan would be relieved within ten days, but Xun Yu did not allow it, and only asked him to fight hard and prepare to go on the expedition at any time.

Just when the plan to send troops was not yet finalized, a strange rumor suddenly appeared in Xudu City, which made the already very complicated situation even worse:

"Lujiang Sun Ce intends to attack Xu!"

After three years of hard work, the Jiangdong lion cub has eaten the land of Dongwu and has become another emerging prince in this troubled era. After last year, Sun Ce saw that the expansion of the territory had reached a bottleneck, so he began to recuperate and recruit talents, and it seemed that his ambition was not small. But I didn't expect that the first roar of the lion this year would be so earth-shattering.

Attacking Xudu from the Lujiang River in Huainan, a long way away. Moreover, it sounds like an extremely ridiculous idea to pass through Yuan Shu's territory on the way. But when the thought of the mastermind being Sun Ce made no one laugh. In the past few years, that Jiangdong madman has brought too many surprises to the people of the world, and no one dares to guarantee that he will never do this.

What's more, this rumor also pointed out that Sun Ce sent troops in order to cooperate with Yuan Shao. One south and one north joined forces to move, and the attack was a feint, but it was actually a response to Hebei. Many people think that Runan was originally Yuan Shao's hometown, full of protégés and former officials, and Sun Ce's choice to send troops at this time meant even more.

One bad news after another came, which made Xu Du fall into a confused anxiety. Xun Yu had no choice but to urgently order Cao Ren's headquarters to move to the vicinity of Xiang County to cut off the passage from the southeast to Xudu. As a precaution, he also strengthened the city defense preparations of Xu Du, announcing that the four gates were closed and no orders were opened.

At the same time, Xi Zhicai walked into Xun Yu's mansion again, and after sitting down, he said very calmly: "The storm in Xudu is about to start, and I also smell an uneasy smell." ”

"You're talking about those people in the Taichang Mansion, right?" Xun Yu didn't raise his head, and continued to work on the copywriting.

"Well, I didn't expect that behind all this, it turned out to be the old fox who had been hidden for many years. If it weren't for the birds returning to the nest, he couldn't have imagined that he would still have contact with the Ma family. Moreover, in just a few days, so many incidents have been made. ”

"The shadow of the Ma family, the energy is really huge. After all, it is the first secret department established in this era, which brings a lot of pressure to your Jing Ancao, right? Hearing this, Xun Yu finally put down his pen.

"Yes, the shadow of the Ma family integrates all the means under the surface, such as assassination, infiltration, internal communication, and anti-intermediary, and the division of labor is clear and the system is rigorous. Compared with Jing'an Cao, both in terms of coverage and depth of means, it is far inferior. ”

Xi Zhicai sighed leisurely towards the west, he wanted to know why the Ma family also spread the conspiracy in Kanto when they made a big move in Hanzhong. Could it be that that family has always been obsessed with sending troops to Kanto?

"It seems that we will have to be more careful about the Ma family in the future. Perhaps, it's time to talk to the lord in detail and consider the matter of reconciling with the Ma family. Otherwise, facing such a big hand in the shadows every day will really make people live a few years less. Leaving these words, Xi Zhi got up and left slowly.

Xun Yu, on the other hand, smiled and continued to write a letter to Cao Cao, the clear and mellow font ink on it had not dried, and it was clear that there was 'the minister and the lord, as soon as possible, the disaster was led to the east, and Yuan Shao's soldiers pointed to the Ma family, and then fought against Yuan Shao with the Ma family, which was a good strategy for the development of the Cao family. This sentence.......

At this time, in the Che Cavalry General's Mansion, there were also a few people sitting on it, their faces excited, listening to Dong Cheng's mobilization.

"If Xun Wen thinks that he can prevent external forces, he can rest assured, but he doesn't know how to change elbows and armpits. He closed the gate of Xudu City and forbade us to enter or exit, but it was convenient for us to act. Dong Cheng raised his wine glass, and his tone was full of ambition, "The time has come, it depends on whether you can fall into the city in a battle and take the fate of Xu Du and the Han family in your hands." ”

Wu Shuo, Chong Ji and others showed admiration on their faces. In Xuzhou, Runan, and Jiangdong, Dong Cheng landed in these three places, either real or virtual, and suddenly emptied the defense forces of Xudu. Moreover, Liu Bei of Xuzhou also secretly replied at the same time, promising to fight against Cao on the same day!

Now that Cao Cao was tripped in Guandu, Li Tong was trapped in Runan, and Cao Ren rushed to Xiang County, Xu Du fell into an unprecedented emptiness. The city's softest belly was exposed, and the sharp spears were in place. With just a slight stab, the Han family will be reborn here. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"After stepping out of the room tonight, see you in the court tomorrow morning!"

Dong Cheng glanced at his colleagues around him, and each of them showed a fanatical expression. It's a kind of excitement that comes from nervousness, but also an intoxication that is about to be accomplished. He slammed the glass to the ground and held aloft the edict with the Han Emperor's Mobao.

"For the revival of the Han family!" He raised his arms and shouted.

"For the revival of the Han family!" The people below raised their glasses, drank them all, and swore by swearing.

It is no surprise that there is still a meeting in Taichang Mansion that outsiders don't know about.

"Elder Yang, it's time for us to prepare for the evacuation." Mu Yuanfeng bowed and clenched his fists, and said with a solemn face: "In order to complete your deployment, we have used a lot of shadows, presumably, after this time, Jing Ancao has already found Yang Lao. ”

"It's okay, you can sneak back to your original place, anyway, this fire in Xu Duli has already been lit." Yang Biao took a sip of hot tea leisurely, without the slightest panic: "I have completed your lord's explanation, and the favor owed to him to take in the dog when Chang'an was in Chang'an has also been paid off." ”

"Elder Yang, Jing Ancao has already discovered you!" Tang Xiaomi was a little anxious, although the contact time was not much, but this scheming and quite kind old man really made her a little reluctant: "Don't worry, although we may have exposed our identities, we can still create some chaos and send you to Chang'an." ”

"Don't be so troublesome, you don't understand politics." Yang Biao seemed to be very good to Tang Xiaomi, and couldn't help but explain a few more sentences: "Cao Cao here, he needs someone who can talk to the Ma family, and that person is none other than me." So, I'm not in half a bit of danger. ”

"This? ......." Qin Shou looked at Yang Biao's indifferent and determined expression, knowing that Yang Biao had already left a way back for himself. After glancing at Mu Yuanfeng and Tang Xiaomi, the three of them bowed down at the same time and said, "In this case, then we are going to go where we should go." Yang Lao take care of yourself, there will be a period later. ”

"Don't worry, my old bones are reluctant to die." Yang Biao smiled, waved his hand to signal the three of them to step back, looked at the afterimage of the sky outside the door, and couldn't help but say to himself: "I won't die easily, this troubled world hasn't ended yet, how can I be willing to close my eyes?" ”

Three plots, three minds. The only thing they all agree on is that tomorrow will be the most unquiet day in Xudu.
