"When will the prime minister reply?"

Lu Yao stood at the ferry, looking at the rolling river, and asked without looking back. Behind Xu Huang and Le Jin, the two looked at each other with a helpless face.

Since returning to Yanjin, Li Dian personally rushed to Xuzhou to inform Cao Cao of this important military situation that Lu Yao wanted to join forces. But it's only been a few days, and Lu Yao has asked this question more than once.

"Back to the prince, the prime minister is far away in Xuzhou, I'm afraid it will take some time." Xu Huang smiled helplessly.

"Well, this king will wait a few more days." Lu Yao turned around and smiled, and then said that he wanted to visit a few more Cao Jun camps.

Xu Huang and Le Jin glanced at each other, and they both saw vigilance in each other's eyes. How Cao Jun deploys defense is a military aircraft, how can he give you an outsider to inspect. Why are you so uninteresting?

"Afraid that this king will spy on the military planes here?" Lu Yao looked at the two of them with a smile.

"The last general will not dare to doubt the prince." Le Jin laughed with him, and he wanted to stop talking.

"Please also ask the prince not to make it difficult for the last general, and bear with me." Xu Huang couldn't help it for a while, and pointed out slightly.

"Well, this king will go back to the water village to wait for the prime minister's good news." Lu Yao smiled and was about to return to the water village.

Xu Huang and Le Jin glanced at each other, inexplicably frightened. I'm just waiting here. Letting you go back to the water village, isn't it equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain?

The Xanadu Water Master came to Yanjin, and naturally there was a water village to settle in. But the water village is on the edge of the Yellow River, Lu Yao went back this time, if there was something different, how could he stop it? As soon as the boat opened, it reached the river, and when the time came, it was impossible to catch up.

"The prince stays." Xu Huang hurriedly stopped Lu Yao.

"Is General Xu still in trouble?" Lu Yao stopped.

"This ......" Xu Huang's scalp was numb, and he was speechless on the spot. Yanjin is an important ferry port, a military important place, and if you want scenery, you can't do anything to keep Lu Yao. At this time, it is also the time when the two sides join forces, and they cannot use force.

"If the prince is fine, he might as well go to Xuchang to see the Son of Heaven. I think the prime minister will also return to Xuchang first. Le Jin was a little anxious, and immediately spoke for Xu Huang.

"What about the king's subordinates?" Lu Yao hesitated.

Xu Huang was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "The last general will not dare to treat the prince's subordinates badly." ”

Le Jin also hurriedly persuaded: "The northerners are not good at water, and the prince's subordinates stay in Yanjin, who dares to bully?" ”

"Well, this king is indeed idle, so according to what you and others, I will go to Xuchang to see the Son of Heaven." Lu Yao smiled faintly and readily agreed.

Xu Huang and the others were immediately relieved. After sending away this plague god, I can finally rest assured. Otherwise, if they really insisted on patrolling all parts of Yanjin, they really couldn't think of an excuse to stop it.

Back at the residence, Lu Yao sent Xu Huang and the others away on the pretext of packing up, and then flashed in with Zhang Jaw. He motioned for Zhang Jaw to close the door, and then lowered his voice and confessed: "If Baima is in an emergency, he will definitely ask Yanjin to rush to the aid of the waterway and cut off the retreat of Yuan's army." ”

Zhang Jaw comprehended, and then responded in a low voice: "The last general understands that he will never send a single soldier. ”

Lu Yao shook his head and said, "No, troops must be dispatched, the sooner the better." ”

Zhang Jaw looked confused.

Lu Yao smiled and patiently explained: "Cao Yuan is fighting, Baima, Yanjin is the key. Yuan Shao must be allowed to occupy the white horse in order to make him make up his mind to go south with heavy troops and fight Cao Cao to the death. The white horse is in a hurry, you can lead the army to pretend to be, just say that the Yuan army is invincible and can only retreat. ”

When Zhang Jaw heard this, he was suddenly stunned.

If Hakuba really asks for help from Yeonjin. The most suitable person for the attack and aid here in Yanjin is only the Xanadu Water Master. If I insist on not sending troops, it will be tantamount to telling people that I have a conspiracy. When you leave Yanjin, how to fight, whether you can beat it or not, it's all up to your own will. If you can't beat it, you can't beat it, so what?

Zhang Jaw drew inferences, and immediately understood another meaning in Lu Yao's words. The Xanadu Water Army must find an opportunity to get out of Cao Jun's sight.

This is not difficult to understand. After following Lu Yao for so long, he also understands something. It can be said that Lu Yao's biggest advantage at present is that he has such a sailor who is proficient in water warfare and can completely control the Yellow River. It is not easy to train the navy, and if Cao Jun takes the opportunity to suppress it, it will be a big loss.

Lu Yao saw that Zhang Jaw understood his intentions, smiled with relief, and explained in a low voice: "Lu Zhan regards you as the commander. The water war is led by Gan Ning. ”

"The end will be saved." Open your jaw and receive the order in a deep voice.

Gan Ning can be regarded as one of the generals that Lu Yao deliberately hidden. Since arriving in Xuzhou, Gan Ning has been hidden behind the scenes and has never appeared in front of people. He also really served Lu Yao, only to find out that there was such a general in the fleet who was not inferior to him at all.

As a newcomer, Zhang Jaw knew better that Gan Ning could be entrusted by Lu Yao with the important task of taking charge of the water division, which in itself was a proof that it was definitely not something that he, a newcomer, could command.

Fortunately, Lu Yao also took care of his feelings, and promised that he would be in charge of the land battle, and Gan Ning would be in charge of the water battle. For this, he has nothing but gratitude. If it weren't for Lu Yao, he probably wouldn't have many opportunities to make contributions on the battlefield. Yuan Shaoke is a narrow-minded villain, and he is not as magnanimous as Cao Cao.

"Go ahead." Lu Yao waved back his jaw, packed up his clothes and went out.

At this time, Xu Huang and Le Jin had already ordered a thousand soldiers and horses, as Lu Yao's support for this trip to Xuchang to meet the Son of Heaven, or to escort him. The two didn't dare to let Lu Yao run to Xuchang with a team of personal soldiers. In case of an outbreak, there will not be enough heads to cut off at that time.

"The two generals have been waiting for a long time, and this king is ashamed." Lu Yao laughed loudly, with an apologetic face.

"The last general will not dare." Xu Huang and the others hurriedly returned the salute.

The two quickly glanced at each other, helpless in their hearts. This thing is really a nuisance, it can't be moved, and you have to be careful. I'm so tired, I want to go home.

"Lord Wang, please." Le Jin threw a wry smile at Xu Huang, then turned over and hugged his fist at Lu Yao, indicating that he would leave immediately.

Lu Yao arched his hand, took the reins of the horse handed by Zhang Jaw, turned over and rode on the snow treadmill, and embarked on the journey to Xuchang under the escort of Lejin.

……

Zhang Jaw returned to the water village and got on one of the building boats. Entering the cabin, a shirtless strong man was eating and drinking, and when he saw him coming, he smiled and beckoned.

"General Zhang, please, you and I will drink hard." Gan Ning grabbed a sea bowl and poured a bowl full of wine.

Zhang Jaw was not polite, stepped forward and grabbed the sea bowl and drank it all. As a newcomer, you have to show something, and you can't be arrogant. What's more, Gan Ning is also a general who is not inferior to him, especially when he is in charge of such an elite sailor.

After the two of them drank a few bowls, Gan Ning lowered his voice and asked, "Does the prince have an explanation before leaving?" ”

Zhang Jaw said truthfully, then put down the sea bowl, and said: "According to the prince's speculation, the Yuan army is about to go south to attack Baima. General Gan should not drink again, so as not to miss the prince's important affairs. ”

Gan Ning was not angry, and said with a smile: "This is nature." Don't hide it from General Zhang, the prince has already confessed, if he is not there, he is not allowed to drink alcohol in the army. Today is the last drunk. When you are young, you take the drinks from the boat. ”

Zhang Jaw was shocked: "The prince has already calculated that he will go to Xuchang?" ”

Gan Ning smiled, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence, and then poured another bowl: "This bowl, a certain general." I wish you and I to kill the enemy and make miraculous achievements. ”

"!"
