The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 72 Xi Yu: I'm Just a Scholar

After Xi Yu repelled Guan and Zhang, Cao Cao immediately ordered people to support him.

At this moment, Guan and Zhang, who watched Xi Yu bring Zhao Yun back to Cao Ying, had no choice but to return to their own army formation.

"Hahaha, it's Fengyi!"

Glancing at Zhao Yun, Cao Cao didn't take it seriously, opened his mouth to praise Xi Yu, and couldn't help laughing immediately afterward.

Xi Yu's expression didn't change much, he glanced towards the center.

After Guan and Zhang retreated, Dian Wei naturally rode his horse back.

When Dian Wei arrived, Xi Yu handed Zhao Yun to Dian Wei: "A Wei, take him, let's go!"

At this time, he didn't want to pay attention to Cao Cao.

The rest is Cao Cao's own business.

Cao Cao didn't care about Xi Yu's attitude of leaving on his own initiative, he was in a good mood at the moment.

The soldiers in the entire army were even more motivated by Xi Yu's brave performance before.

And the other side.

At this time, Liu Bei was a little bit scratchy!
what's the situation?
Zilong was actually defeated, and was captured so easily.

He didn't believe it at first, but after seeing his second and third brothers being repelled, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Brother, Zilong!"

After returning to the army formation, Guan Yu opened his mouth and didn't know how to speak.

Zhang Fei next to him seemed a little dejected.

Being hit with a weapon and flying a weapon, this kind of thing happened when he faced Lu Bu back then.

At that time, his force was far less tyrannical than it is now.

Moreover, when he played against Lu Bu, no matter how he said it, he fought against the opponent for dozens of rounds before being picked up.

But now, it was just an understatement, which made Zhang Fei feel a little dazed.

After a while, Liu Bei finally came back to his senses.

lost!

Even the generals have been captured, and this battle will be regarded as a failure.

Originally, he thought that relying on his second younger brother and third disciple Long to be by his side, he would be safe in the fight.

However, what he didn't expect was that Xi Yu would be so powerful.

Was he really just a scribe?
He believed that he was another Lu Bu.

Liu Bei was a little upset, but at this time, Cao Jun had already led the army forward to suppress him.

"Xuande, you are defeated!"

Cao Cao shouted with a smile, the voice was a little harsh in Liu Bei's ears.

Cao Bao beside him turned dark.

He didn't expect to become like this, subconsciously he looked at Liu Bei, and the latter seemed to notice his eyes.

"General, we can only withdraw our troops this time!"

"This time I made a mistake, I will tell the envoy myself!"

Liu Bei was a little helpless, the promise had been made, so he could only keep the promise at this time.

Cao Bao beside him didn't say much, just sighed.

He also didn't expect that the rumored Xi Yu would have the bravery of Lu Bu. Such a situation was too frightening.

This matter must be notified to the envoy as soon as possible.

Cao Bao didn't have any opinions, and Tian Kai on the other side naturally didn't have any opinions either, he was originally there to help out.

He didn't care about Xuzhou's victory or defeat.

However, Tian Kai had to take the fact that Xi Yu was so powerful.

Such a person must tell the lord.

Liu Bei, who had calmed down again, glanced at Cao Cao in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, he took a deep breath and rode out again.

"Meng De, you won, but can you let General Zhao go!"

Liu Bei planned to ask Cao Cao to release Zhao Yun, but that was a talent he managed to recruit under his command.

Zhao Yun's force is no worse than Guan Zhang's. It doesn't matter if he loses to Cao Cao now, but if he loses Zhao Yun, it will make his heart ache.

Hearing what Liu Bei said, Cao Cao didn't have any objections.

It's just a young general in white robe.

"Xuande said that the white-robed young general? He was brought back by Feng Yi just now, and now I have no way to hand him over to you!"

Cao Cao responded casually.

Hearing this, Liu Bei took a look at Cao Cao, seeing that the other party didn't seem to be cheating, but he was not in a hurry.

After nodding his head, Liu Bei began to order the entire army to withdraw.

And as Liu Bei withdrew his troops, the entire Tancheng was emptied in front of Cao Jun in an instant.

……

mid-November.

Since the end of the battle between Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Tancheng, in just seven days, Cao Jun has successively captured several cities in Xuzhou.

Half of Xuzhou is now occupied by Cao Cao.

At that time, Liu Bei took responsibility for himself when he was fighting for generals. Tao Qian had no choice but to let Liu Bei guard Xiapi.

At the same time, the situation of this battle began to spread to the ears of the princes like wind.

Jizhou, Yecheng.

Inside Yuan Shao's mansion.

"Xi Yu, is that Xi Yu who was awarded as Taicang order by the emperor?"

Yuan Shao was a little surprised. The news sent back told him that Xi Yu had defeated Liu Bei brothers by himself, and that Guan and Zhang were not his opponents.

Such news is somewhat surprising.

"Isn't Xi Yu a scribe?"

Yuan Shao was a little strange. According to what he had heard before, Xi Yu was obviously just a counselor under Cao Cao's account.

Now it is said that the opponent has defeated fierce generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

This sounds really unbelievable.

When the princes met at the time of the alliance, Guan Yu warmed wine and killed Hua Xiong, and became famous in the first battle. He followed Liu Bei's three brothers to defeat Lu Bu, and became famous.

People in the world have some idea of ​​the force of Guan and Zhang.

However, the news at the moment is still a bit surprising.

"That brat Cao Cao, isn't it the fake news that was released?"

Yuan Shao didn't believe it, but then shook his head, and he glanced at Yan Liangwenchou beside him.

He has Yan Liang and Wen Chou, but he is not much worse than Guan Zhang.

What's more, this news sounds a bit unreal after all.

"Yan Liang, what do you think of Xi Yu?"

"My lord, I'm just a mere scribe. It's just a joke to spread my fame all over the world!"

Wen Chou beside him also nodded in agreement.

In their view, scribes are scribes, and warriors are basically two concepts.

If you want to say that it is not a problem to be able to be both civil and military, there is a limit to being able to be both civil and military.

Both Guan and Zhang are peerless fierce generals. If you want to defeat these two, you have to be a character like Lu Bu. How can a scribe do it.

Regardless of whether it was Yan Liang, Wen Chou, or a group of counselors under Yuan Shao's account, they all just smiled at such news.

On the other hand, Yuan Shu in Huainan didn't care about such news at all.

In his opinion, it was Cao Cao's bluff again.

On the other hand, Sun Ce, who is temporarily living under Yuan Shu's command, is quite interested in such news.

When the princes attacked Dong Zhuo, he missed Lv Bu, and he didn't fight Guan Zhang much.

However, according to my father's words when he was alive, both Guan and Zhang are fierce generals.

Sun Ce has always been somewhat dissatisfied with this point.

But right now, a person suddenly appeared and defeated Guan and Zhang. Sun Ce naturally noticed the news.

"Xi Yu, interesting!"

……

Yanzhou, Chen Liu!
The news of Cao Cao's successive victories in Xuzhou made Chen Gong and Zhang Miao unable to sit still for a long time.

If the timing is not right, they will still attack Yanzhou with their engines.

At this time, Chen Gong was visiting Zhang Yang's mansion in Hanoi, and Lu Bu was also on the invitation list.

When the news from Xuzhou came, everyone subconsciously glanced at Lu Bu.

The one who can easily defeat Guanzhang is Lu Bu back then.

But now, Xi Yu suddenly appeared.

This is simply, somewhat appalling.

"Gongtai, who is Xi Yu, who is really like what Cao Cao said?"

As the owner of this place, Zhang Yang asked subconsciously.

Hearing this, Lu Bu, who was holding a wine cup beside him, also listened attentively.

Chen Gong smiled: "Xi Yu is also from Yingchuan, his brother is a loyal and ambitious talent, and both of them have served Cao Cao not long ago."

"However, that Xi Yu seems to be a scribe!"

Chen Gong once took a look at Xi Yu from a distance. When the other party implemented the strategy of farming, he traveled all over the land of Yanzhou.

Chen Gong, who was in Chenliu, had also seen Xi Yu.

However, in Chen Gong's impression, that Xi Yu was a gentle scholar, what kind of general was there.

What's more, he was the fierce general who defeated Guan and Zhang.

"Scribe?"

Zhang Yang was a little surprised, and then he was a little puzzled: "Then what exactly is Cao Mengde's move?"

What is the significance of promoting a scribe as a fierce general who defeated Guan and Zhang?
Just for fame?

It's just a reputation that doesn't match the truth, but it's not a good reputation!
"What do you think of Wen Hou?"

Zhang Yang smiled at Lu Bu, and upon hearing the sound, Lu Bu picked up the wine cup and took a sip into his mouth.

"It's just a joke!"

Lu Bu and Guan Zhang fought against each other. Although these two are inferior to him, they are still people who can be recognized by him.

The only person in the world who can easily defeat these two is Lu Bu.

What drama?
Just a joke.

Lu Bu took it as a joke, but Zhang Yang and others beside him didn't say anything.

The person in front of him was Lu Bu after all, and the other party was qualified to say such things.

At this moment, Chen Gong glanced at Lu Bu.

The strategy in his heart to capture Yanzhou must be Lu Bu.

But, if Xi Yu is really as rumored!

Do not!
As Lu Bu said, it is rare to have someone like Lu Bu in this world, and there is no other.

What's more, that Xi Yu is indeed a counselor.

He has more or less seen the other party's strategies for farming and some strategies.

Such a talent cannot be achieved without a full study of the scriptures.

And practicing martial arts is a long-term matter, how can it be so easy to have both.

Even those who have both can't achieve as good a force as Lu Bu.

The Battle of Xuzhou completely spread Xi Yu's reputation.

However, more people regard it as a joke.

As for Xi Yu himself, he didn't care about such a reputation at all.

Xuzhou, within Dongping City.

As a temporary town, Xi Yu originally planned to bring Dian Wei back after delivering the grain and grass.

However, after participating in a battle of generals by accident, Zhao Yun was finally brought back.

At this moment, in the courtyard of the temporary residence, Xi Yu and Zhao Yun were sitting opposite each other, with a chessboard in front of them.

"General, you..."

Looking at Xi Yu who had completely changed his appearance in front of him, Zhao Yun couldn't help but sighed and spoke first.

At this time, he seemed to be taken as a hostage. As a prisoner, he was quite conscious.

However, what does it mean that the opponent is pulling him to play chess now?
As soon as Zhao Yun opened his mouth, Xi Yu smiled helplessly at Zhao Yun.

"Zilong, don't call me a general, I'm just a scribe!"

This was said with a smile, but just after Xi Yu finished speaking, Zhao Yun's face turned red, and his eyes stared straight at Xi Yu.

What do you mean, you are just a strategist.

Zhao Yun has never been so mad in his heart.

The person in front of him made him a little annoyed, the person who could easily capture him said that he was just a counselor.

What is your own party?
A low-level miscellaneous soldier?

"Hey, boy Zhao, let me tell you, my husband doesn't like being called a general, so you can just call him sir!"

Dian Wei saw Zhao Yun's embarrassment, and explained it casually.

Hearing this, Zhao Yun's complexion improved a bit.

"Mr. Xi, how do you plan to deal with Zhao this time?"

After calming down, Zhao Yun asked again.

Hearing this, Xi Yu looked up at the other party.

"Is Zilong uncomfortable living here?"

Zhao Yun shook his head: "Yun has become a prisoner, sir treats Yun so politely, it's not because he is uncomfortable!"

"Is there Zilong who wants to return to Liu Xuande's command?"

Xi Yu raised the chess piece in his hand and placed it on the chessboard.

Zhao Yun didn't open his mouth, he already admitted it in his heart.

He could more or less guess that Xi Yu's purpose in treating him like this was nothing more than to make himself turn to Cao Ying!
However, in the previous days, Liu Bei had always treated him well.

He is still more nostalgic in his heart, and he already had the idea of ​​recognizing Liu Bei as the master.

This time switching to others, he can't do it no matter what.

Seeing that Zhao Yun didn't speak, Xi Yu understood.

For a character like Zhao Yun, if two or three sentences can make the other party turn to him, it would be a bit unrealistic.

However, Xi Yu was not in a hurry.

Talent is not something that can be gathered casually with just a few words.

"Zilong stay at ease, there are some things, let's talk about them later!"

Being dragged by Cao Cao right now, he can't return to Yanzhou for the time being, Dian Wei is practicing martial arts besides practicing martial arts.

He's boring by himself.

Seeing that Xi Yu didn't answer what he meant, Zhao Yun wasn't in a hurry either.

He has made up his mind, since he is a prisoner right now, he should do what a prisoner should do.

"Sir, I lost!"

After just a moment of effort, Zhao Yun sighed as he looked at the pieces on the chessboard that had already been defeated.

Xi Yu nodded, and when he was about to play another game, Dian Wei who was beside him came over.

"The one surnamed Zhao, do you want to fight me twice!"

When fighting generals before, Dian Wei and Guan Yu played against each other, which was considered to be a hearty battle. However, because of the immediate battle, he was still somewhat at a disadvantage.

However, Dian Wei also had a good time.

Now that Zhao Yun is finally here, he suddenly feels itchy.

Of course, there was Xi Yu by his side, but Dian Wei didn't want to fight Xi Yu at all.

In Dian Wei's view, Mr. himself is not a human being!

Hearing that Dian Wei invited him to fight, Zhao Yun subconsciously glanced at Xi Yu.

With a strong man like Xi Yu here, his self-confidence has already been rubbed a little.

"Did Zilong lose confidence?"

"If that's the case, I'll underestimate you!"

Seeing Zhao Yun's hesitation, Xi Yu finally realized that he didn't seem to have seen Zhao Yun practice martial arts in the past few days.

Could it be because he had beaten the opponent until he lost his faith.

Hearing this, the corners of Zhao Yun's mouth twitched, and Dian Wei beside him was urging him.

"it is good!"

Watching Zhao Yun get up and start to compete with Dian Wei on the school field.

Xi Yu happily watched the battle from the sidelines.

The ranking of the warriors of this era in later generations has always been a matter of debate.

Xi Yu was also a little curious as to who was stronger.

However, he doesn't care, because no matter how strong these people are, they are not as strong as him!
After the fight was over, because of his physique, his force seemed to have broken through again. At this time, Xi Yu no longer knew how strong he was.

In short, even if the rumored Lu Bu was in front of him, he would not take him seriously.

on the school field.

Zhao Yun danced with a gentian and a silver spear, and soon fought with Dian Wei.

The two fought each other, and in just a moment, the fighting intent between them began to burst out.

The gentian bright silver spear danced in the arena impenetrably, and suppressed Dianwei in an instant.

The double halberds in Dian Wei's hands were wide open and closed, but they were far inferior to Zhao Yun's marksmanship.

Although his strength is not weak, Zhao Yun is not much weaker.

Dian Wei wanted to defeat Zhao Yun in ten games like Xi Yu did, but he couldn't do it.

The battle between the two became fiercer and fiercer, and the fighting spirit between the two became more and more surging.

Xi Yu was watching from the sidelines, and he had seen Zhao Yun's marksmanship clearly, and nodded his head from time to time.

And at this time, a figure suddenly came in from outside the courtyard.

Sensing someone coming in, Xi Yu turned his head and glanced at him lightly.

"Fengyi is leisurely!"

It was Cao Cao who came here. Cao Jun now controls more than half of Xuzhou, and he is not in a hurry to lead the army to continue the attack!
More importantly, although he now controls most of Xuzhou, it will be difficult to annex the remaining towns in one go.

The aristocratic families in Xuzhou have united at this time, although Liu Bei did not appear in front of Cao Jun.

But these aristocratic families have become the biggest trouble in front of him.

Most of the entire Xuzhou is controlled by these aristocratic families, and now these people and Tao Qian have completely come together.

Cao Jun has been delayed this time.

More importantly, the New Year's Eve is not far away, and the morale of soldiers is no longer what it used to be.

If it continues to drag on, it's not a problem, but because of Cao Jun's policy in Xuzhou, the cost of food and grass for the army will be huge after all.

Such procrastination is somewhat detrimental to the development of Yanzhou.

Now occupying half of Xuzhou, it is already an excellent situation for Cao Jun.

Continuing on would not be of much benefit to Cao Cao.

On the contrary, because of the policy, it may even bring Cao Jun down.

Cao Cao knew well that Xi Yu's previous analysis was indeed correct, but if he just gave up like this, he would be somewhat unwilling.
