Greeted the Mishe and the others, and when they approached, Liu Wei smiled slightly, put his hands behind his back, and asked Mishe: "Didn't Mr. say that it would take three months to send the baby elephant to Luoyang, why did he come early?" ”

"Your Highness!" Seeing Liu Wei coming over, Mishe and the two southern barbarian men who followed him hurriedly pressed their right hand on the left heart and bowed to Liu Wei.

"Xiaomin returned to the south, coinciding with the birth of a baby elephant, so he purchased a batch and sent it to His Highness!" After saluting Liu Bian, Misha said to Liu Bian: "It takes time to domesticate baby elephants, and the sooner Your Highness domesticates them, the sooner the baby elephant can go to the battlefield to make contributions to Your Highness." ”

"Hmm!" Nodding his head, Liu Wei stretched out his head and glanced behind Misher and the others, but he didn't see the baby elephant brought by Mishe, and asked, "Where is the baby elephant?" ”

"All waiting outside the palace gate!" Bowing slightly, Misher replied. "Check it out!" Knowing that the little elephant was outside the gate of the palace, Liu Wei waved to Mishe and walked quickly towards the front door of the palace.

Before he reached the door, Liu Wei heard a chaotic cry of a baby elephant outside the door.

The cries came and went, and when I heard it, I knew that there were many small elephants outside the door.

Walking to the door, as soon as he glanced out, Liu Wei was stunned for a moment.

Although there is not much difference between two hundred baby elephants and two hundred war horses, the small elephants are crowded together in one place, and the color is all gray, which is much better than a group of war horses squeezed into one place.

The streets outside the palace gate were crowded with baby elephants, and on the road on both sides of the baby elephants, many curious Luoyang people were stretching their necks and looking at the group of baby elephants that kept calling.

Every onlooker in Luoyang had curiosity and puzzlement on their faces, and they couldn't understand why the king of Luoyang would let people come over with so many strange animals.

However, because Misha had shouted on the street that baby elephants would eat children, the residents of Luoyang believed it, and although they watched from afar, no one dared to get too close.

Seeing the baby elephant outside the door, Liu Wei strode out of the palace, went straight to the nearest baby elephant to him, reached out and stroked the head of the baby elephant, and carefully looked at the baby elephant in front of him.

The height of this little elephant is only to Liu Bian's chest, looking at the honest little appearance, Liu Biao feels that he likes it very much.

However, he also knew very well that the arrival of these baby elephants was not to let him be domesticated as pets, but to domesticate them into killing weapons that could cross the battlefield.

Stroking the head of the baby elephant in front of him, Liu Wei glanced up at the elephant herd, nodded, and asked Misher, "Have you checked them all, are all these baby elephants healthy?" ”

"Back to Your Highness!" Standing behind Liu Bian, he made a southern barbarian salute to Liu Bian, and Misha said to Liu Bian: "The little elephants are all healthy. ”

"How many heads?" Without looking back at the house, Liu Wei's eyes were still wandering around the elephant herd, as if he said casually: "It's not like there are only two hundred." ”

"Your Highness's eyesight is really like a god!" Losing no time in patting Liu Bian's ass, Misha said to Liu Bian: "A total of two hundred and sixteen, sixteen more, but the small people are worried that there will be baby elephants dying on the road, so they specially added them." I don't want this road to be quite smooth, but I haven't even lost a baby elephant......"

"That means that these sixteen heads are all given to the king?" Turning his head to look at Mishe, the corners of Liu Wei's mouth pulled up a faint arc, and said to Mishe: "In this way, this king has thanked him first!" ”

As he spoke, Liu Wei strode towards the palace, and as he walked, he said to Mishe: "And send the baby elephants to the stables of the palace, and the king of tomorrow will order the creation of an elephant garden and place them!" ”

"No!" I didn't expect Liu Wei to say that the sixteen extra baby elephants were given as a gift as soon as he opened his mouth, Mishe was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to deny it, so he had to respond and let the southern barbarians drive the baby elephants into the front yard of the palace.

After entering the front yard, Liu Wei didn't take a few steps before he stopped and beckoned to Mishe.

Seeing Liu Wei waving to him, Misha hurriedly followed.

"Southern elephant soldiers, what is the general establishment?" When the Misher followed, Liu Wei asked the Misher as he walked up the stairs to the front hall.

"Ordinary elephant soldiers, two people on each head!" Following behind Liu Bian, Misha said to Liu Bian: "Every two elephants are a group, every twenty elephants is a pawn, and if Your Highness has two hundred baby elephants, if it takes time, they can be trained into ten pawn war elephants!" ”

"Ten pawns!" His mouth pursed slightly, his brows furrowed, and he pondered for a moment before he said to Mishe: "If there are only 200 war elephants on the battlefield, is it difficult to achieve the effect of breaking through the enemy's barriers? ”

"What His Highness said is extremely true!" Following behind Liu Bian, Misha then said to Liu Bian: "However, most of the war elephants in the south are owned by tribes, and the tribes do not have much financial resources to domesticate them, so there are only a dozen or so in each department, and the most is only a hundred or ten. Like His Highness, domesticating two hundred heads is already a huge army! ”

"The Luoyang Army is invincible, it is a mighty army, how can it be compared with the tribe!" Ascending the stairs, Liu Wei waved his hand and said to Misha who was following him: "You go to Nanban again and prepare eight bald-headed baby elephants for this king, but this time, you have to leave two mahouts to teach the soldiers under this king's command to domesticate war elephants!" ”

Originally thought that this business was last night, and there would be no business in the future, but when I heard that Liu Wei also wanted 800 baby elephants, Mishe was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness rest assured, but 800 baby elephants are not a small number, and the small people return to the south, and every 200 heads are gathered, they will be sent to Your Highness, Your Highness sees, is this good?" ”

"Good!" Nodding, Liu Wei agreed to Mishe's proposal and strode towards the front hall.

In order to celebrate the entry of the first batch of war elephants into Luoyang, Liu Wei left Mishe and others, and did not mention the daily banquet in Luoyang, only saying that Lu Bu entered Xuzhou.

In order to defeat Xiahoudun's department, Liu Bei ordered Mi Zhu to lead 20,000 Xuzhou soldiers to go to Fenggao to relieve the siege.

And Lü Bu was placed in Xiaopei by Liu Bei, but when he went to Xiaopei, he happened to pass through Fenggao, so Lü Bu undertook the task of assisting Mi Zhu to defeat Cao's army.

Leading an army of thousands of people, following Mi Zhu's army, Lu Bu frowned and pondered what this was as he walked.

"Warm wait!" When he was thinking about something, Chen Gong rode a horse to his side, hugged his fist at him, and asked in a low voice, "Wen Hou is worried about how to fight against Cao Jun?" ”

"Exactly!" Hearing Chen Gong's inquiry, Lu Bu nodded and said to Chen Gong: "Cao's army is powerful, the Xuzhou army is only 20,000 people, and our army is only a few thousand, and the equipment is not complete. The armor promised by the king of Luoyang has not yet arrived, how to fight with Cao's army? ”

"Why did Wen Hou want to fight with Cao Jun?" As soon as Lu Bu's words fell, Chen Gong smiled slightly and asked him a rhetorical question.

"Then Liu Bei......" Turning his head to look at Chen Gong, Lu Bu blinked his eyes twice, first subconsciously replied with a blank face, and then suddenly seemed to understand something, and asked Chen Gong: "The meaning of the public platform, is it ......?" ”

Chen Gong nodded, and whispered to Lu Bu: "Then Liu Bei pretended to give up Xuzhou, but he was afraid of Wen Hou, and now he will settle Wen Hou with Pei County, how can Xiao Pei County accommodate the army?" Wen Houdang took the opportunity to turn around halfway, went straight to Pei County, and waited for the Luoyang Wang Bingjia to be delivered. ”

"Gongtai believes in the king of Luoyang so much?" After listening to Chen Gong's words, Lu Bu frowned slightly and asked Chen Gong.

"The king of Luoyang must be gentle and temperate Cao Cao, and he will help him with all his might!" Whispered to Lu Bu, Chen Gong then said to Lu Bu: "At present, Wen Hou only needs to wait for the opportunity, this Xuzhou will enter the hands of Wen Hou sooner or later." ”

"If you agree to Liu Bei and lead the army to cooperate with Mi Zhu, if you leave before you fight, how will you explain to Liu Bei in the future?" After listening to Chen Gong's words, Lu Bu asked again with some hesitation.

"Wen Hou only needs to inform Mi Zhu that our army will take a detour, and it will be convenient to return to Cao's army!" Lowering his voice, Chen Gong said to Lu Bu: "Don't say that Mi Zhu only led 20,000 soldiers and horses, even if he gave him 50,000 soldiers and horses, he is not an opponent of Xiahoudun and Guo Jia. The subordinates expected that once the two armies took over the station, within five days, Mi Zhu would definitely be defeated, and even if Liu Bei was unhappy in his heart, what could he say? ”

"What a clever plan!" After listening to Chen Gong's words, Lu Bu praised and shouted to a personal soldier behind him: "Catch up with Mi Zhu and tell him that General Ben will lead the soldiers and horses, detour to the rear of the Cao army, and attack the Cao army behind the flank!" ”

"No!" Although he was very close to Lu Bu, Chen Gong kept his voice very low when he spoke, and the personal soldiers did not hear what Chen Gong said, so they got Lu Bu's order, and hurriedly responded, and rode their horses to chase after the army led by Mi Zhu.

Leading 20,000 soldiers and horses, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang brothers were riding side by side, and they rode up on a fast horse.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves behind him, Mi Fang turned her head and glanced behind her.

When he saw that it was a cavalry of Lu Bu's army who had caught up, his brows twisted slightly, and he said to Mi Zhu: "Then Lu Bu doesn't know what to do." ”

When Mi Fang spoke, Mi Zhu also glanced back, and when he saw the cavalry rushing towards them, Mi Zhu pursed his lips and said to Mi Fang: "As long as Lu Bu is not in Xuzhou, he will do anything." We just have to assist Uncle Liu Huang wholeheartedly! ”

Mi Fang didn't speak, just nodded silently.

While the two were talking, the soldiers of the Lu Bu army had already caught up.

When the Mi brothers approached, the soldier clasped his fists with both hands, saluted the two brothers, and said to them: "Two generals, Wen Hou let the villain inform the two of them, Cao thief is powerful, our army is less than Cao Jun, if you meet the enemy head-on, it is difficult to determine the outcome of the victory." Wen Hou decided to lead the army in a roundabout way and attack from behind Cao's army! ”

When the soldier finished speaking, the corners of Mi Zhu's mouth twitched, revealing a smile, and said to the soldier: "Tell Wen Hou to ask him to march as soon as possible, don't wait until we break through Cao's army before leading the army to appear, it will not be his credit at that time!" ”
