Guandu.

Patches of Cao army soldiers are sweating like rain arranging tripping ropes and horse rejection piles, and many Cao soldiers are busy building temporary barriers with stones.

The walls built by the soldiers of the Cao army were not very high, only two or three people were stacked on top of each other, but even such a height was enough to delay the onslaught launched by the Yuan army on the Cao army.

Standing behind the barrier that Cao Jun's soldiers were building, Cao Cao looked at the gradually rising barrier, but there was still a little anxiety between his eyebrows.

Although the barrier was built quickly, Yuan Shao's army had already sworn to the army, and he might come to Guandu at any time and launch a fierce attack on Cao's army.

Not only was he worried that Yuan Shao's army would come before the barrier was completely completed, Cao Cao was even more worried that Yuan Shao's army would avoid Guandu and Yanjin and land at other ferries and go straight to Xudu.

Once Xu Du is lost, Cao Cao will lose his foundation, and it will be difficult to make a comeback in the future.

In this battle, Cao Cao was completely making a gamble, betting on Yuan Shao's internal discord, so as to defeat Yuan Shao and occupy Hebei.

Looking at the soldiers who were building the barrier, Cao Cao was worried in his heart, and Guo Jia walked over from behind him.

"Cao Gong!" Behind Cao Cao, Guo Jia hugged his fists and bowed, saluted Cao Cao, and asked, "Why is Cao Gong here?" ”

"A certain leader came to Guandu, not to mention whether the soldiers could build a barrier in time, even if it was built in time, if Yuan Shao did not attack Guandu, what should he do?" Hearing Guo Jia's question, Cao Cao turned around and told Guo Jia his doubts with a little worry on his face.

"Ming Gong is too worried!" As soon as Cao Cao expressed his worries, Guo Jia smiled slightly and said to him: "Yuan Shao intends to attack Cao Gong, and his ambition is not in Xu Du, but in Cao Gong. Knowing that Cao Gong is here, he will definitely raise a large army to attack Guandu! Why should Cao Gong worry? ”

"But this barrier ......" Guo Jia's words reassured Cao Cao a lot, he raised his hand and pointed to the barrier in front of him, and then said to Guo Jia: "With such progress, how can it be built before the arrival of the Hebei army?" ”

"Guandu is easy to defend and difficult to attack!" Facing Cao Cao, Guo Jia said indifferently: "Even if you don't build a barrier, Yuan Jun won't be able to find a chance for a decisive battle for a while, so why should Cao Gong bother because of this?" ”

Turning his head to look at Guo Jia, although his explanation was very reasonable, but Yuan Shao had many soldiers and horses after all, Cao Cao still had some doubts.

"Yuan Jun's vanguard is Yan Liang, one of the four court pillars of Hebei!" From Cao Cao's expression, it was seen that he was not very confident in this battle, Guo Jia then comforted: "Yan Liang is not a brave man, Ming Gong only needs to send a fierce general, Yu Wanjun will take off his head from it, and the vanguard of the Yuan army will definitely be defeated!" ”

"Who's right?" Yan Liang's name, Cao Cao had heard of it for a long time, and when he heard that the vanguard of the Hebei army was Yan Liang, Cao Cao's worry was even more, and he hurriedly asked Guo Jia.

"Guan Yunchang!" Almost without thinking about it, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "Earlier, Guan Yunchang killed Guan Hai, the horse is fast and the knife is fast, and he was a fierce general in front of Liu Bei's account earlier, Yan Liang must not be guarded against him, Cao Gong ordered Guan Yu to go and kill Yan Liang, it is very suitable!" ”

Hearing Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly instructed the soldiers behind him: "Go and invite Guan Yunchang!" ”

The soldiers answered, turned around and ran towards the barracks in the rear.

After a while, Guan Yu, who was summoned by Cao Cao, ran quickly towards Cao Cao under the guidance of the pro-soldiers.

When Cao Cao approached, Guan Yu clasped his fists with both hands, bowed to Cao Cao and said, "Cao Gong called a certain person, can you see it?" ”

"Cloud Chief!" When Guan Yu approached, Cao Cao hurriedly stepped forward, held his hands, looked into his eyes and said, "Seeing that Yuan Jun is coming, the vanguard of Yuan Jun is Yan Liang." Yan Liang is brave and brave, everyone in the world knows, who can Yun Chang kill Yan Liang? ”

Cao Cao did not directly ask Guan Yu to fight, but the words had already been said to this point, how could Guan Yu not know Cao Cao's intentions.

Hearing Cao Cao ask him who could kill Yan Liang, Guan Yu hurriedly said: "A certain person is treated favorably by Duke Cao, and he should relieve his worries for Duke Cao." Yan Liang is just an ordinary person, and he will be killed! ”

"Good!" Guan Yu said that he was willing to kill Yan Liang for Cao Cao, Cao Cao was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly said to Guan Yu: "There is a cloud chief, why are you afraid of Yan Liang's generation?" ”

Cao Cao handed over the task of killing Yan Liang to Guan Yu, but at this time in Luoyang City, Liu Wei ushered in Tian Feng and Fu Zhu.

Worried that Yuan Shao would see the clue and send troops and horses to pursue from behind, Xu Shu led a team of Qin troops, escorted Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, and stayed overnight, almost without any delay, all the way to Luoyang.

It was only five or six days before he returned to Luoyang.

Knowing that Tian Feng and Fu Zhu were taken back to Luoyang by Xu Shu, Liu Wei did not summon them immediately, but asked them to settle down and send elite soldiers to guard them.

Entering Luoyang, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu were not imprisoned, and they were thinking about how King Qin would deal with them in order to hide people's eyes, and he was even more grateful to Liu Wei in his heart.

Instead of putting them in prison, they were placed in another place to live, and the two also knew that by doing so, Liu Wei was risking revealing his true intentions.

With the assistance of the people sent by Liu Bian, Xu Shu placed Tian Feng and Fu Zhu properly, and he didn't dare to delay too much, so he immediately went to the Qin Palace, asking to see Liu Bian.

already knew that Xu Shu would definitely come to the Qin Palace, and after Liu Wei ordered Tian Feng to be placed, he was always waiting for him in the front hall.

After entering the Qin Palace, Xu Shu walked up the stairs quickly, and when he reached the door of the front hall, he bowed down with his fists and shouted to Liu Wei, who was sitting at the head of the hall: "Your Highness, Your Excellency is fortunate to live up to your mission and bring Tian Feng and Fu Zhu to!" ”

has been waiting for Xu Shu, hearing him shouting outside the hall, Liu Wei smiled slightly, beckoned to him and said, "Yuan Zhi, enter the hall and talk!" ”

After being greeted by Liu Bian, Xu Shu strode into the hall and walked only five or six steps away from Liu Bian, he stopped, bowed down to Liu Biao and said again: "The two of them have already properly settled their residence!" ”

Nodding, Liu Wei smiled and said to Xu Shu: "Bring the two back to Luoyang, Yuan Zhi has done the king a great favor!" ”

"Your Highness!" did not take pride in his credit because of Liu Wei's praise, Xu Shu maintained a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, and said to Liu Wei: "Although the two of them have arrived in Luoyang, His Royal Highness is afraid that he will not be able to see them for a while!" ”

"The situation is urgent, and the two of them are very familiar with Hebei, and this king wants to see them earlier!" Knowing what Xu Shu was worried about, Liu Wei just lowered his eyelids, thought for a while, and then said to Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhidang arranged, this evening, this king will go to the residence of the two and meet them!" ”

Liu Wei said that he was going to meet Tian Feng and Fu Zhu in the evening, Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said to him: "In Luoyang City, although most of them are loyal to His Royal Highness, they are people who can hardly guarantee good things!" ”

"Yuan Zhi is worried that someone will go to Yuan Shao's place and tell the king of his secret?" Looking at Xu Shu, Liu Wei grinned and said to Xu Shu: "Even if this king openly recruits the two, Yuan Shao doesn't dare to say anything. However, now that Yuan Shao's army is heading south, this king does not want to make him unhappy. And it is appropriate to keep a low profile. ”

"If so, how will Your Highness go and meet the two?" Liu Wei took into account that Yuan Shao's army was heading south, and Xu Shu knew that he must want to meet Tian Feng and Fu Zhu secretly, but he still asked Liu Wei a question.

"Tonight, this king disguised himself as a guard and went to meet the two!" Looking at Xu Shu, Liu Wei said in a categorical tone: "The war is urgent now, and this king can't take care of that much, Yuan Zhi will go to inform the two of them first, and ask them to wait for this king at night!" ”

"Your Highness!" As soon as Liu Wei's words came out, Xu Shu clasped his fists and bowed to him and said: "Your Highness is so polite and virtuous, it can really make the two of them grateful, but when you leave the house at night, I'm afraid it will be ......."

"There are Wang Liu and Wang Zhen, what is this king afraid of?" Smiling slightly, Liu Wei waved his hand at Xu Shu and said: "There is only one nameless in the world, and the nameless is already unwilling to assassinate this king, as long as Wang Liu and Wang Zhen are by his side, even if this king wants to suffer some flesh and skin injuries, it is difficult for him." ”

While speaking, Liu Wei subconsciously glanced back at Wang Liu and Wang Zhen who were standing behind him.

The two sisters, who were standing straight behind him with their swords in their hands, were still like two statues after being complimented, not only did they not move, they didn't even blink their eyelids.

Maintaining a fist-hugging posture, he glanced at Wang Liu and Wang Zhen, Xu Shu knew that as long as these two daughters were beside Liu Bian, as long as they were not peerless swordsmen like Nameless, Liu Bian really wanted to be injured, and it was also difficult, so he didn't say anything more, but said to Liu Bian: "That is the case, Your Majesty will inform the two of you!" ”

After saying goodbye to Liu, Xu Shu bowed with his fists and exited the front hall.

When Xu Shu left, Wang Liu, who was standing behind Liu Wei, asked Liu Wei: "Your Highness, who is Tian Feng and Fujiao, and how can you make Your Highness pretend to be a guard to meet you?" ”

"The two of you have also seen Tian Feng, he is very intelligent, and he is a rare genius in the world!" Turning back to Wang Liu and Wang Zhen and smiling slightly, Liu Wei said to them: "As for that frustrated teacher, he is also a generous elder, but these two people are upright in nature, which will annoy Yuan Shao." This king is around him, and it is precisely this kind of outspoken person who needs it, and it is appropriate for this king to pretend to be a guard to meet him! ”

After listening to Liu Wei's words, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen glanced at each other and didn't say anything more.

The two sisters have been following Liu Wei for a long time, and they also know that Liu Wei has always paid attention to talents, even if he is a young man like Wei Yan and has never been famous, Liu Wei dares to be boldly appointed, not to mention that now there are famous people like Tian Feng and Fu Zhu in Luoyang.
