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

Chapter 75 Zhang Miao: Can you return General Dian to me

It is less than one month before the end of the new year, and the whole Yanzhou is singing and dancing.

This year, Yanzhou had a bumper harvest, and new policies were implemented, and there was a thriving scene in Yanzhou.

The news of Liu Yu's death did not cause much disturbance.

For Cao Ying, Gongsun Zan's occupation of Youzhou was a breath of relief.

Boss Cao doesn't have to worry that Yuan Shao will take the opportunity to suppress Yanzhou. Under such circumstances, the time for Yanzhou to develop steadily has been lengthened.

As the end of the new year is approaching, it is logical for Xi Yu to start practicing Huo Mu.

Except for being disturbed once by Cao Cao because of Liu Yu's death, during the rest of the time, few opera artists came to visit.

"Alang, what are you thinking?"

In Xi's courtyard, when Xi Yu was looking up at the snow on the eaves, Gan Mei behind her gently put the newly made cloak on Xi Yu's body.

Feeling the warmth coming from behind, Xi Yu turned his head and lowered his body, reaching out to take the cloak from Gan Mei's hand.

"Isn't there already a cloak, why did you make another one?"

Looking at the brand new cloak in his hand, Xi Yu raised his brows slightly and couldn't help asking softly.

Ganmei's expression, which caught her eyes, was a little more moving than before.

Hearing Xi Yu's question, Gan Mei smiled as it should.

"The previous cloak needs to be washed!"

Xi Yu couldn't help being moved by the concern in Gan Mei's words.

It has been more than 20 years since we came to this era in the blink of an eye.

At the beginning, Xi Yu was also full of pride and ambition. For this reason, he made many friends around the world.

Unfortunately, with the erosion of time, his pride has gradually faded a lot.

It wasn't until the end that he chose to follow Xi Zhi and join Cao Ying.

In a blink of an eye, more than a year has passed.

In this year, the history he knows has not changed much.

However, these things don't matter to him now.

These days are not bad.

……

Yanzhou, Chen Liu!
Inside the prefect's mansion.

"Is Xi Yu really as brave as Lu Bu?"

The history of the Battle of Xuzhou has already spread throughout the Han world.

The gambling between Cao Cao and Liu Bei is also rumored.

Among them, the most dazzling thing is the presence of Xi Yu in the whole process.

With his own strength, there are no generals under Liu Bei's command who can compete for the front.

As for Liu Bei's Guan Yu, he was well-known all over the world early on.

The three brothers were on equal footing with Lu Bu at Hulao Pass.

And the appearance of Xi Yu is a bit unimaginable to the princes of the world.

Such rumors are naturally extremely worrying for Zhang Miao who is in Chenliu.

Xi Yu's strategy and political talents should not be underestimated. If this person has the courage of Lu Bu, will their plan to seize Yanzhou be effective?
Zhang Miao felt a little worried, and Chen Gong beside him also frowned slightly.

The stove in front of the two of them was burning very hotly, and the temperature in the lobby was obviously a bit hot, but at this moment, the hearts of both of them were a bit cold.

"People like Lu Bu are rare in the world. This move is probably Cao Mengde wanting to take this opportunity to make Xi Yu famous!"

From Chen Gong's point of view, people like Lu Bu are extremely rare.

Suddenly, he told him that besides Lu Bu, there is Xi Yu who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

How can this be?

As for the rumors of the Battle of Xuzhou?
I'm afraid it's not what the rumors say.

As for why Liu Bei and others didn't deny it, after all, they lost the bet.
"To make a name for Xi Yu?"

Zhang Miao was a little puzzled, did Cao Cao need to do this?
"I heard that Xi Yu was the one who saved Mrs. Cao. It's normal for Cao Cao to do this!"

As Chen Gong said, Zhang Miao who was beside him was still a little worried.

"Meng Zhuo doesn't have to worry, my plan is safe, and now Cao Cao doesn't suspect us."

"This time the battle of Xuzhou was a big victory. I expected that Cao Cao would take advantage of the situation to attack Xuzhou again after the beginning of spring. It will be the time for you and me to seize Yanzhou!"

After saying this, Chen Gong looked at Zhang Miao again.

"Meng Zhuo, now that the New Year's Eve is approaching, there are definitely not a few people visiting Cao Cao's mansion. This time you should also prepare to leave!"

Zhang Miao nodded, Chen Gong was right.

Right now, the relationship between him and Cao Cao is very good on the surface. If he doesn't visit at the end of the year, Cao Cao will definitely think something!

The next day, Zhang Miao set off for Juancheng with a group of entourage and congratulatory gifts.

The north wind was bitter, and Xi Yu, who stayed at home with Gan Mei for a long time, was finally retreated by Yu Rener.

Although these days eat the marrow and know the taste, some people can't bear it.

Xi Yu was a little helpless, he had no choice but to drag Dian Wei in a big cloak and start wandering in Juancheng.

"Sir, this year's Yanzhou is much more lively than before!"

Dian Wei Weng made a comment with a happy face. Hearing this, Xi Yu turned his head and glanced at the other party.

It's really rare for someone as big-hearted as Dian Wei to be able to notice the changes in Yanzhou.

With the implementation of the new policy, the situation in Yanzhou is naturally somewhat different from other states in Dahan.

On the entire street, you can see some small merchants and hawkers everywhere, and there are no fewer merchants and the like.

The prosperity of Juancheng is visible to the naked eye.

The two hadn't been walking on the street for long. Coincidentally, they ran into Cao Cao and Xun Yu who were coming back from outside.

Seeing Xi Yu's figure, Cao Cao waved his hands in greeting.

"Fong Yi, Feng Yi!"

When he got close, Cao Cao grinned and couldn't help but smile when he saw Xi Yu in front of him: "It's rare, Feng Yi actually came out of the mansion?"

Xun Yu beside him also smiled.

The last time he went to the theater house, Xi Yu's face full of resistance was still fresh in his memory.

Now that Cao Cao said this, the ridicule on his face was extremely obvious.

Xi Yu didn't bother to talk to Cao Cao, but just bowed his hands, which was regarded as a salute.

"This is the two brothers?"

"Oh, it's not just being idle. Wen Ruo and I are just going to have a look in the city, and we'll discuss what's going to happen next year along the way!"

"Fengyi, you came just in time. After the heavy snow this year, spring plowing next year will be another important task!"

"The matter of spring plowing is particularly important. I can't think of anyone who can replace Fengyi for such an important task!"

Hearing Xi Yu's question, Cao Cao explained casually.

Looking at the current scene in Juancheng, Cao Cao was quite emotional.

More than a year ago, he never thought that there would be such a situation, but now, everything has become a reality.

"Spring plowing?"

Xi Yu whispered at the corner of his mouth.

He didn't have any resistance, as long as Lao Cao didn't let him go to battle and take charge of spring plowing, it wouldn't be a big deal.

"Let's go, Wen Ruozheng and I are planning to go to the city wall to take a look, and Feng Yi will go together?"

Seeing that Xi Yu had no resistance to Chun Geng, Cao Cao smiled and stepped forward to take Xi Yu's arm and invited him to walk with him.

Xi Yu didn't say anything about it.

Right now, he is fine, so he went to the city wall to have a look, but it's not a big deal.

It's just that just after everyone arrived at the city gate and before they climbed the city wall, a motorcade came outside the gate of Juancheng.

Cao Cao, the leader, knew each other, and when he saw the other party approaching, Cao Cao had a bit of joy on his face.

"It's Meng Zhuo!"

"I didn't expect him to come!"

Cao Cao explained something to Xi Yu, and the next moment he stopped climbing the wall, and took the initiative to lead the three of them to meet Zhang Miao.

At this time, Zhang Miao, who had just arrived, naturally also saw Cao Cao.

Seeing that Cao Cao was waiting for him at the gate of the city, Zhang Miao couldn't help but felt a sudden feeling of guilt.

"Munde!"

"Meng Zhuo, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you haven't changed much!"

Cao Cao greeted Zhang Miao enthusiastically, and the latter also had a faint joy on his face.

"Why did Meng Zhuo come to Juancheng this time?" Cao Cao casually asked Zhang Miao.

The latter grinned: "How can I not come when the New Year is approaching?"

"This victory in the Xuzhou battle, I haven't had time to congratulate Meng De yet!"

Zhang Miao, who had finished greeting Cao Cao at this time, first glanced over Xun Yu, and then fell on Xi Yu.

"Could this person be Meng De's Xi Yu, playing Fengyi?"

Zhang Miao's tone was very normal, but after careful consideration, there was something wrong with what he said.

Today's Xi Yu is the Taicang order of the great Han Dynasty, and it is not under Cao Cao's command to be precise.

Xi Yu didn't care about it, no matter whether Zhang Miao's words meant to sow discord, he didn't care.

What's more, right now he is indeed under Cao Cao's command, and Zhang Miao said that there is nothing wrong with Cao Cao's command.

As for Zhang Miao's first meeting?

To be precise, he and Zhang Miao had met before.

This time when he and the other party were begging for Dian Wei, the two had already met.

At this time, Zhang Miao said that the two met for the first time. Obviously, the other party probably didn't take him seriously at that time!
Now that he is famous, Zhang Miao only noticed him at this time. It can only be said that in this era, reputation is too important.

At this time, Cao Cao heard this and took the initiative to explain.

"Meng Zhuo is wrong, Fengyi is not under my command, we are all colleagues of the big man!"

Cao Cao only thought that Zhang Miao was outspoken. He valued this friend very much. In Cao Cao's view, the other party could trust his family.

Zhang Miao nodded, then looked at Xi Yu again.

"I don't know why, but when I see Taicang Ling, I always feel familiar."

"The eunuch forgot. At the beginning of the spring plowing this year, I went to Chenliu to meet the eunuch. Dian Wei was the eunuch's gift to me!"

Xi Yu explained indifferently.

What familiarity, I really don't remember, or is it a deliberate test?
Xi Yu didn't care. If it wasn't for Cao Cao's face, he wouldn't bother talking to Zhang Miao.

It's a pity that what Cao Cao didn't know was that this friend in front of him was planning to seize his Yanzhou at some point in his heart!
If he knew, Boss Cao would be able to poke a few holes in the opponent's body if he turned around!

"Ok?"

"Oh, so it turns out that I have seen Taicang Ling before!"

"It's my fault!"

Zhang Miao apologized repeatedly, but his attitude did not seem to be fake, Xi Yu just smiled.

At this time, Zhang Miao's eyes fell on Dian Wei.

Since the news of Xuzhou fighting generals spread throughout the world, Dian Wei's reputation has also increased a lot.

What Zhang Miao never imagined was that there would be a warrior like Dian Wei under his account that he had never paid attention to before.

He can compete with Guan Zhang and his ilk, and he is already a rare fierce general in the world.

Seeing Dian Wei again this time, Zhang Miao felt somewhat regretful.

Subconsciously, he turned his head and looked at Xi Yu in front of him.

"Taicang Order, I seconded General Dian Wei to you before, can you return General Dian to me now?"

As soon as Zhang Miao said this, the atmosphere around him couldn't help but become a little bit colder.

Cao Cao was a little surprised, why did Zhang Miao ask Xi Yu for Dian Wei at this time?

You know, it was useless for him to ask Xi Yu for Dian Wei back then.

And Zhang Miao seemed a little unwise to ask for it at this time.

Cao Cao didn't speak, but just looked at the two people beside him quietly.

Xun Yu next to him also remained silent.

Xi Yu looked up at Zhang Miao in surprise.

Ask for Dian Wei?

Can Zhang Miao say such a thing?

"Zhang Taishou's words are quite biased!"

"Dian Wei was under the prefect's command before, but he was not subordinate to the prefect. What's more, Dian Wei was only a small sergeant at that time. It is an exaggeration to say that he is seconded!"

Xi Yu's tone was flat, but the meaning in the words did not have the slightest intention to return Dian Wei.

Zhang Miao smiled: "Taicang Order is joking, it is my subordinate, naturally it is subordinate to me, and it is reasonable to return it to me!"

"Return your sister!"

???

Xi Yu stopped being polite to the other party, and the quintessence of the country that he casually burst out directly stunned the few people around him.

Even Cao Cao seemed to have misheard, and looked at Xi Yu abruptly with his eyes open.

Did he hear correctly just now, did he scold others out of righteousness?

Xun Yu was also a little dumbfounded, what he said was good, but Xi Yu could say such a thing.

As for Dian Wei on one side, he was already dumbfounded.

From the time Zhang Miao talked about him, he was in full swing.

He was naturally unwilling to let him follow Zhang Miao.

Before joining the army, he was under Zhang Miao's command. At that time, he was just a sergeant, and Sima Zhao Chong valued him, and had nothing to do with Zhang Miao.

There is no kindness between him and Zhang Miao.

"What did the Taicang Order say?"

Zhang Miao stared. What Xi Yu said casually just now made him unable to react for a while.

At this time, after subconsciously asking again, I saw that Xi Yu in front of me suddenly seemed to be a different person.

"I said return your sister!"

Xi Yu quietly looked at Zhang Miao in front of him, and the words he spit out were somewhat cold.

He has figured it out now.

He can give Boss Cao face, but it also depends on what it is.

Zhang Miao in front of him couldn't recognize his own sense of proportion, so he naturally didn't need to give the other party a good look.

What's more, he knew that Zhang Miao was going to conspire with Chen Gong to take over Xuzhou sooner or later, so what if he broke his face now?
Of course, if Cao Cao changed because of Zhang Miao, he wouldn't take it to heart.

"You, Meng De, this!"

Zhang Miao's face became a little angry, and he raised his finger to point at Xi Yu, not knowing how to respond for a while.

Isn't the other party flaunting a literati, how can he say such vulgar words.

Cao Cao's face was a little stiff.

He didn't expect that it would become like this now, Zhang Miao was his good friend, and Xi Yu was his most valued arm.

There was a contradiction between the two sides, and he felt a little uncomfortable being caught in the middle.

Speaking of which, he also wants Dian Wei!
However, compared to Zhang Miao, Cao Cao still values ​​Xi Yu more.

Not to mention Xi Yu's help to him, more importantly, Dian Wei himself is willing to follow Xi Yu.

At this time, Dian Wei was right next to him, but the person involved didn't say a word!

"Meng Zhuo, Feng Yi, Dian Wei is nearby, why don't you listen to what he has to say?"

Said, Cao Cao looked at Dian Wei beside him.

"I listen to sir!"

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Dian Wei who was beside him quickly responded.

As soon as these words were spoken, Xi Yu's expression was unharmed.

After all, after this year, the relationship between him and Dian Wei has become much closer.

Zhang Miao on the side opened his mouth and directly chose to win over Dian Wei.

"General Dian, I can grant you the post of captain!"

Zhang Miao hurriedly promised Dian Wei a reward, but Dian Wei didn't have much expression on his face, and Xi Yu just sneered.

The corner of Cao Cao's mouth twitched.

If Dian Wei could follow him with a random reward, Dian Wei would have followed him a long time ago, why do you need Zhang Miao to come out at this time?

For Zhang Miao's actions this time, Cao Cao can only say that the other party is really unwise.

Seeing that Dian Wei was indifferent, Zhang Miao planned to make another promise.

However, at this moment, the guards on the city wall suddenly started waving their command flags, followed by a notification from their subordinates that unknown cavalrymen were approaching Juancheng not far from the city.

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed instantly.

Now that the New Year is approaching, there are cavalrymen outside Juancheng City, which is not good news.

Cao Cao no longer cared about discussing Dianwei's ownership, glanced at Xun Yu and Xi Yu beside him, and quickly climbed up the city wall first.

At the same time, Xi Yu also frowned.

Logically speaking, at this point in time, it is impossible for cavalry to appear outside the city, not to mention that Juancheng is still the hinterland of Yanzhou.

If there were really cavalry coming towards Juancheng, they should have received such news early on.

Unless, these cavalry are not threatening.

Thinking like this, Xi Yu also climbed up the city wall.

Once on the city wall, Xi Yu raised his eyes to look in the distance along the direction outside the city wall. In his line of sight, there was indeed a black shadow of a galloping horse in the distance, which was especially obvious in the snow.

"The end of the year is approaching, who will come to Juancheng?"

Cao Cao was a little puzzled, and Xun Yu beside him also frowned.

Xi Yu looked into the distance, then smiled softly.

"Brother, don't panic, I don't think you are an enemy!"

Several people were talking, and within a quarter of an hour, the horse team in the distance gradually appeared outside the city wall.

At this time, everyone looked out of the city with their eyes.

To the eye, these so-called cavalrymen looked like they were dressed as ordinary brave men, not soldiers.

After the leader arrived at the base of the city, he quickly ordered all the townspeople nearby to slow down.

At this time, Cao Cao asked questions on the city wall.

"Who is coming?"
