Chapter 85: Xi Yu?Just tongue-in-cheek

days ago.

Zhang Miao and others who were in Chenliu were still waiting for Xun Yu to take the initiative to help Lu Bu deliver food and grass!

However, the three of them waited left and right, waiting for nothing from Xun Yu to deliver food, grass and military supplies.

What's more, Zhang Miao wrote several letters to Xun Yu in a row, but he didn't see any reply.

It wasn't until now that Chen Gong realized that he and the others might be tricked by Xun Yu and the others.

"Damn it, that Xun Yu pretended to be a modest gentleman, but he did this!"

Zhang Miao, who also realized that something was wrong, couldn't help but cursed in the mansion.

At this time, Chen Gong's face turned dark.

"Meng Zhuo, I think Xun Yu is afraid to realize something!"

He said that with Xun Yu's intelligence, how could he not realize this, not to mention that Xi Yu was also in Juancheng.

He thought it was a little too simple!

"Now, what should I do?"

After realizing that he was being tricked, Zhang Miao felt a little helpless, and could only look at Chen Gong unwillingly.

Lu Bu beside him also turned black.

Seemingly realizing that his plan to seize Yanzhou was not going well, Lu Bu was obviously annoyed.

"For the current plan, we can only act according to the previous plan!"

"General Lu can lead troops to attack directly this time!"

"Meng Zhuo and I informed the Yanzhou gentry to respond to the general together!"

Chen Gong arranged the plan casually, and Lu Bu beside him could only nod his head at this moment.

Immediately, the three of them had no extra words and started to act separately.

After leaving Chenliu, the first thing Lu Bu did when he returned to the camp was to summon his generals.

A few days later, Lu Bu led Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others all the way to Juancheng.

The first town that Lu Bu visited was Puyang.

At that time, Xiahou Dun had already been transferred here by Xun Yu.

At this moment, with Lu Bu leading the cavalry, Xiahou Dun, who had originally planned to go out of the city to fight, suddenly changed his mind.

"Lu Bu, why is it Lu Bu?"

Lu Bu's name has long been spread all over the world, and Xiahou Dun naturally knows how much he is.

Asking him to fight Lu Bu is no different from sending him to death.

It wasn't until this time that Xiahou Dun realized why Xun Yu ordered him to be stationed here.

That Lu Bu actually appeared in Yanzhou.

……

It's approaching May.

The signs of warming weather are becoming more and more obvious.

Xi Yu and the others naturally reacted to the matter of Chen Gong and Zhang Miao traveling around Yanzhou.

It's just that most of the Yanzhou army has been led by Cao Cao now, and now it is impossible for the three of Xun Yu to completely control the entire Yanzhou.

Under such circumstances, Xun Yu couldn't stop Chen Gong's plan.

This is a conspiracy, there is nothing to do.

For the current plan, only Cao Jun's army returns.

But in the past few months, in the battle of Xuzhou ahead, Cao Jun has fallen into a stalemate.

It is impossible to withdraw troops and return to Yanzhou for a period of time.

……

Xuzhou, Cao Jun Camp.

Cao Cao, who received Xun Yu's letter, was somewhat in a daze.

Zhang Miao and Chen Gong welcomed Lv Bu into Yanzhou and acted rebelliously?

how can that be?

It was he, Chen Gong, who planned for him and settled in Yanzhou. Why is he rebelling now?
Could it be because he has neglected Chen Gong now?
Zhang Miao, this person is a close friend worthy of entrusting his family and relatives, how could he betray him.

Cao Cao, who received the news for the first time, thought it was Xun Yu who was joking with him.

He even thought that the letters from the two had been exchanged.

However, when Xun Yu's second and third letters came, Cao Cao had to believe it.

Yanzhou, something has indeed happened!

Cao Cao is like mourning his concubine.

Now that the battle in Xuzhou is raging, and something like this happened in Yanzhou in the rear, it is not a big blow to him.

Xi Zhicai on the side was quite emotional.

Sure enough, what my brother said was true.

Sure enough, Zhang Miao and others had different intentions, but after verifying this matter now, Xi Zhicai couldn't be happy at all.

Logically speaking, his younger brother is so good at predicting things, he should be excited.

But, this is not a good thing!

"My lord, don't worry, Fengyi has predicted it before!"

Seeing Cao Cao's current state, Xi Zhicai felt that he still couldn't let Cao Cao be lost like this.

Then he told him what Xi Yu had reminded him earlier.

Hearing this, Cao Cao was a little surprised.

"Is what Zhicai said true?"

"Fengyi predicted this before it happened?"

These words sounded a little unbelievable. Xi Yu had already expected Zhang Miao and others before they rebelled?
How can it be?

"How dare Zhong make a joke?"

Xi Zhicai smiled helplessly, and then told Cao Cao everything Xi Yu and himself had said about the whole process.

After hearing the whole process, Cao Cao was a little dazed.

Did Xi Yu not take the initiative to bring this up to him because he thought it was because of his friendship with Zhang Miao?
That's right, if Xi Yu had told him such a thing before, he would not have believed it based on his trust in Zhang Miao.

On the contrary, this matter may even cause a gap between him and Xi Yu.

Xi Yu did the right thing.

However, learning about such things now still makes Cao Cao feel a little bit worried.

He trusted Zhang Miao so much, how could the other party do such a thing?

Really hateful!
"My lord, Fengyi has already expected it before, and he already has a backup, so I don't have to worry about it for now!"

Xi Zhicai gave Cao Cao a sigh of relief after thinking about it.

Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded accordingly.

To be honest, it would be somewhat uncomfortable for him to withdraw to Yanzhou now.

Although the battle of Xuzhou is now in a stalemate, he is confident that he can annex the entire Xuzhou if the war drags on.

However, Yanzhou is the place where he made his fortune, and it is absolutely impossible for him to give up.

However, if he withdrew to Yanzhou this time, he might not be able to control the cities and towns of Xuzhou that he captured before.

At that time, if Xuzhou is allowed to breathe again, then the crusade against Xuzhou will probably be more difficult than these two times.

but!

With Xi Yu and Xun Yu behind him now, he felt more at ease.

"According to the days, our army's food and grass can't last for a month, so it's about time for the food and grass of the supply camp?"

After heaving a sigh of relief, Cao Cao suddenly thought that it was time for the army to deliver food and grass again.

Now it is Xi Yu who is responsible for transporting the grain and grass.

In a few days, he would be able to ask Xi Yu himself if he wanted to.

……

Yanzhou, Juancheng!
The new food, grass and military supplies have been loaded into the trucks by the supply battalion.

Xi Yu turned his head and looked at Xun Yu and Cheng Yu in front of him.

"Two, this time Yanzhou entrusts two of you!"

The matter of food and grass ahead cannot be delayed. The grain and grass that has been confiscated right now has already been loaded into the truck. As the chief of the supply battalion, Xi Yu naturally has to set off with the supply battalion.

Nowadays, all parts of Yanzhou are unstable, and the matter of food and grass is the top priority.

Although the current situation in Yanzhou seems a bit unfavorable, unexpectedly, Xiahou Dun of Puyang actually blocked Lu Bu.

"Follow righteousness and transport food with peace of mind, I guarantee nothing will go wrong in Juancheng and other places!"

Xun Yu nodded, at the moment, whether Xi Yu stays or not doesn't actually affect the overall situation.

The rebellion in Yanzhou could not be stopped by Xi Yu alone.

Now, they only need to stick to the town they are controlling now, and wait for a while until Cao Cao withdraws his hand.

The dilemma can be solved!

"Fairness and peace of mind, as long as I wait here, nothing will happen to Juancheng!"

Cheng Yu beside him also nodded.

Now, the entire family members of Cao Ying basically live in Juancheng, even if the whole of Yanzhou falls, they must also ensure that Juancheng is safe and sound.

Xi Yu naturally understood what the two of them meant.

Whether he stays or not, the effect he can play is minimal.

Even though he is outstanding in force, under the entire Yanzhou rebellion, perhaps the only thing he can guarantee is that nothing will happen to his family!

With Xun Yu and Cheng Yu there, it is not difficult to hold on to a few towns, and there is Xiahou Dun's garrison, at worst, they will stick to Juancheng in the end!
"That's good!"

Nodding towards the two of them, Xi Yu sent Dian Wei to lead the supply battalion to set off slowly, and then returned to Xi Jia to give Gan Mei a few words.

At sunset, he caught up with the supply camp that was escorting food and grass ahead.

……

When Xi Yu led the supply battalion to suppress the military supplies needed by Cao Jun and headed towards Xuzhou again.

On the other side, Lu Bu, who could not capture Puyang, had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

At this moment, in Lu Bu's camp.

Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong beside him with a dark face, without saying a word.

That Xiahou Dun stuck to the town and couldn't shrink back, while most of Lu Bu were iron cavalry from Xiliang, not soldiers who were good at capturing towns.

It is not easy to win Xiahou Dun this time.

And that Xiahoudun seemed to have learned of his coming, and had no intention of going out to fight in the tortoise city for days.

"Your Majesty, for the current plan, we will move to other towns in Yanzhou!"

Chen Gong remonstrated with Lu Bu, and now, he and Zhang Miao have communicated with those Yanzhou gentry.

Once the important towns on Lv Bu's side, all parts of Yanzhou would surrender to Lv Bu, but he never thought that Lv Bu would run into Xiahou Dun as soon as he came up.

If it were another defender, perhaps the town had already been captured by now.

"Hmph, that person will only hide in the town. If he fights with me in the field, I will behead him within three minutes!"

Lu Bu was a little disdainful.

Chen Gong and others at the side did not refute when they heard this, as Lu Bu's force is well known throughout the world.

Because of this, the opponent would not be so stupid as to confront Lu Bu head-on.

Chen Gong was a little helpless, after all, his plan failed this time, and he was even tricked by Xun Yu.

If Lu Bu had launched a surprise attack earlier, Xun Yu would not have had time to settle all this.

However, Cao Jun is currently in Xuzhou, and the time is with me.

"By the way, I heard the spies report that Cao Jun's grain and grass are already on their way to Xuzhou?"

As if thinking of something, Lu Bu suddenly raised his head and asked Chen Gong.

Hearing this, Chen Gong frowned while thinking, then subconsciously nodded.

"That's right, the grain and grass collected by Yanzhou a few days ago have been transported from Juancheng to Xuzhou, and they have just set off not long ago!"

"forage!"

Lu Bu gritted his teeth and bit the two words very hard.

Now, he led the troops from Hanoi to Yanzhou, and the army was consuming a lot of food and grass every day.

Zhang Yang's side will no longer support him with any food.

And Zhang Miao's Chenliu is only a mere place, and the time that can provide him can't last too long.

"Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to capture a place, and the worry of food and grass can be easily solved!"

Chen Gong made a sound.

Lu Bu only needs to casually collect the grain and grass in those towns in Yanzhou, or ask for it from those Yanzhou gentry.

There will never be a shortage of food and grass.

Hearing this, Lu Bu just frowned.

trouble!

"Hasn't Cao Jun's food and grass already collected? Wouldn't it be easier for me to take Cao Jun's food and grass directly!"

Lu Bu curled his lips and chuckled lightly.

Now they have received the news that Cao Jun's grain and grass have just set off, and his subordinates are all Xiliang iron cavalry, chasing him day and night.

It took less than two days to catch up with Cao Jun's grain transport team.

With his ability, wouldn't it be easy to seize Cao Jun's food and grass?
Where do you need to capture any towns.

For Lu Bu, what he is most in short supply right now is food and grass.

It would be a waste of time to wait until the town was captured and then whether it was local collection or asking for it from the gentry.

It would not be easier to directly snatch the food and grass that Cao Jun had prepared.

With this move, one can solve his current food and grass needs.

It is even possible to take this opportunity to hit Cao Jun on the front line of Xuzhou hard.

This can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Lu Bu only felt that his thoughts suddenly became clear at this moment. After saying this, he couldn't help but look at Chen Gong in front of him.

The latter froze for a moment, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to have such an opinion.

"Your Majesty's words are true, this move is a brilliant move!"

In just a moment, Chen Gong already figured out how much damage this move would cause to Cao Cao.

Without these food and grass, Cao Cao on Xuzhou's side must have to withdraw his troops at that time, and Lu Bu had already occupied the entire Yanzhou at that time.

At that time, Cao Cao could not capture Xuzhou when he entered, and could not save Yanzhou when he retreated.

There is no way to advance or retreat.

Wonderful, really wonderful!

"Do you know which road Cao Jun's grain road is, and who is in charge of supervising the grain transportation team?"

After deciding to seize the grain and grass, Lu Bu casually asked Chen Gong.

Hearing this, Chen Gong immediately called the spies in.

After some questioning, Lu Bu and the others soon knew where Cao Jun's grain road was, and even knew that Xi Yu was in charge of supervising the grain.

"Xi Yu?"

Lu Bu seemed to have heard of this name before, and it seemed familiar.

He subconsciously opened his mouth to say a few words, and Zhang Liao who was next to him couldn't help reminding him aloud.

"Your Majesty, this person is the Taicang Ling who was awarded by the previous imperial court!"

Zhang Liao made a reminder, and then thought of the rumors about Xi Yu some time ago, he subconsciously glanced at Lu Bu.

It is rumored that when Cao Cao fought against Xuzhou in the past, Cao Liu and Cao Cao made an appointment to bet against the generals before the battle.

And the key person among them is Xi Yu.

I heard that when this person was fighting for generals that day, he overwhelmed Guan Zhang and others, defeating Liu Bei in one fell swoop.

After that, Xi Yu's reputation began to spread throughout Dahan.

"Taicang order?"

Lu Bu frowned, in charge of the granary?
"Your Majesty, this is the man who became famous when Cao Liu was fighting general!"

"It is rumored that this person suppressed Guan Zhang by force, and is not inferior to you!"

Zhang Liao said something brightly.

For such rumors, Zhang Liao couldn't imagine. He was very clear about how powerful Lu Bu's force was.

It was precisely because he was aware of Lu Bu's tyranny that Zhang Liao knew that such a fierce general was simply too rare to come by.

It is extremely difficult to have a character like Lu Bu in the world.

How could another one come out?

"Oh?"

"It's him!"

Some time ago, there was an uproar in the outside world, and Lu Bu naturally heard about it, but he didn't take it to heart at all.

He has never met anyone in the world whose military force can match his.

The force of the two of Guan and Zhang can be regarded as somewhat recognized by him, and their ability surpasses that of Guan Zhang, but they are also a bit strong!

However, if you want to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, hehe!

"I'm a little interested in it, since he happens to be escorting food and grass, it's perfect!"

The corner of Lu Bu's mouth chuckled, and when his eyebrows were raised, there was a hint of interest in his eyes.

A person who was rumored to be able to compete with him in force, this really inspired his fighting spirit a bit!
If it's just robbing food and grass, it will seem a bit boring.

But if he could compete with a general who was rumored to be on par with him, it would be a pleasure.

"Your Majesty, Meng Zhuo has met Xi Yu before!"

"I heard that he is just a counselor, not a peerless general at all!"

"That's just a false name that Cao Cao used to pass on!"

Speaking of Xi Yu, Chen Gong casually commented directly.

In his opinion, Xi Yu's prestige was just something Cao Cao took the opportunity to publicize, in name only.

Zhang Miao on the side also nodded at this time.

He had met Xi Yu before, and seeing that Lu Bu seemed to be interested in him, he then added something.

"What Gongtai said is good, I have met Xi Yu before!"

"Although his figure is similar to Junhou's, his figure is not as majestic as Junhou's, but he looks a little weak!"

Zhang Miao looked at Lu Bu in front of him.

The person in front of him had a majestic physique, and just standing in front of him gave him a hint of power.

His waist is like a pillar, and his arms are like a beam.

On the other hand, Xi Yu, when he saw him, was just a man of tongue-in-cheek!

Although his figure is tall, his figure is not like that of Lu Bu.

Zhang Miao couldn't help feeling a little relieved when he thought that Xi Yu would meet someone as fierce as Lu Bu.

His perception of Xi Yu was not good.

If he can be beheaded by Lu Bu, or humiliated by Lu Bu, it will make him happy.

"Oh?"

"Is it just a strategist?"

Lu Bu frowned slightly.

He was a little interested just now, but if he really had the ability to overwhelm Guan Zhang, he would be interested in fighting the opponent.

However, if he is just a penniless counselor, then he will not be interested in it at all.

A Wenruo counselor can be easily crushed with his hands.

Zhang Liao on the side didn't have much opinion.

For Lu Bu, they have absolute confidence.

As for the rumored Xi Yu, maybe it was really just a rumor.

Rumors like this are the most unbelievable.

After putting aside his impression of Xi Yu, Lu Bu laughed.

Following him without any hesitation, he ordered his generals immediately.

That afternoon, Lu Bu led a thousand Xiliang cavalry under his command, and began to chase towards Xuzhou that day.
