Three Kingdoms: before lying flat, dragging Zhao Yun to defect to Cao

"Zhen Yao, don't think that your Zhen family is in Jizhou, and my lord can't control you."

"Yuan Benchu ​​is currently fighting fiercely with Gongsun Bogui, and the emperor is also in Xuchang. He has recently been given the title of great general."

"If you don't agree to the marriage proposal, I will tell Yuan Benchu ​​about it on behalf of my lord, and he will definitely agree."

"When the time comes, I'm afraid they will help send soldiers to your Zhen's house and send Zhen Mi to Xuchang."

The envoy is so arrogant because he has confidence in his heart.

No matter how rich the Zhen family is, they are just merchants.

Recently Yuan Shao got the position of General, and he wanted to deal with Gongsun Zan wholeheartedly, so naturally he would not offend Cao Cao.

On the contrary, after taking the position of general, Yuan Shao should have owed Cao Cao a favor.

Although Zhen Yao has supported Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao will definitely not cover Zhen Yao with these funds alone.

On the contrary, it is very possible to send troops to send Zhen Mi to Xuchang to repay Cao Cao's favor.

Therefore, in the eyes of the envoy, Zhen Yao had to agree if he didn't agree!

Otherwise, you will have to pay for it.

Just when Zhen Yao was in a dilemma, a voice came from behind the screen:

"Yao'er, please agree with Messenger."

..........

Chapter 136 Buy One Get One Free, Against Cai Mao's Strategy

That voice Zhen Yao couldn't be more familiar with, it came from his mother, Mrs. Zhang.

"Mother, isn't this too..."

"You don't need to say too much, Master Messenger, our Zhen family not only agrees to this marriage, but also wants to marry Mi Er off in a grand manner!"

Zhang said firmly.

Hearing this, the messenger couldn't help laughing.

"You are a girl, can you be the master?"

Hearing the voice of questioning, Zhen Yao, who was standing aside, said with a slightly embarrassed expression:

"To tell you the truth, my lord, my mother is the real head of the Zhen family, and I'm just the head of the family on the surface."

messenger:"………"

Now the envoy understood why the lord insisted on proposing marriage to the Zhen family on behalf of his military advisor.

Really different.

Unexpectedly, Zhen Yao turned out to be only the head of the family on the surface, and the real caller - turned out to be his mother.

Thinking of this, a strange idea suddenly popped up in the messenger's mind.

Zhen Yao's father, Zhen Yi, passed away a few years ago, and the eldest son, Zhen Yao, was only a weakling.

Therefore, Zhen Yao's mother should not be very old, but only in her 30s.

In other words, Zhen Yao's mother still has a charming charm, and she is the person whose serious husband died7.

This...isn't it very suitable for my protagonist?

This time, the envoys of Zhen's family were clever since they were young, and they were known as "great cleverness" in the Xuchang area, and they knew how to share worries with others.

Military Master Changping married Zhen Yao's sister, and the lord married Zhen Yao's mother, isn't it too much?

Although the seniority is a bit messy, the Changping military division is still the sworn brother of the lord's father, so it's good to have different seniority.

The protagonist and Mr. Changping naturally won't be too rigid about such small details.

As soon as the idea of ​​"marry Zhen Mi and give away Zhang" appeared in the messenger's mind, it began to spread wildly and take shape rapidly.

Soon he made up his mind and said:

"Madam, Zhen Mi is still young, you should personally escort her when she gets married."

"Why don't you go to Xuchang with Zhen Mi."

"Otherwise, the eldest brother is like a father, so Patriarch Zhen Yao can only personally escort him."

The messenger's words were threatening.

Zhen Yao is the head of the Zhen family on the face of it, if he is not around, there will be no one to handle many businesses in the family.

And once he went to Xuchang in person, if Cao Cao didn't let him go, the Zhen family would have nothing to do.

So it is obvious that Zhen Yao cannot go to Xuchang at will at this time.

And what about Zhang?

Regardless of whether she is the real head of the Zhen family or not, as Zhen Mi's mother, her daughter is married, so she should send her off in a grand manner.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the words of the messenger.

After all, the arms can't twist the thighs.

Zhen Yao discussed with Zhang for a while, and soon agreed.

"Mother, I'm going to Xuchang. The mountains are high and the road is far away. I hope you will take care of yourself."

When parting, Zhen Yao paid homage to his mother.

"Yao'er, don't worry, mother will return soon after sending your sister to Xuchang, don't worry."

Zhang was able to control the power of the Zhen family for many years after Zhen Yi's death, so she was naturally not a weak woman, but a proper strong woman.

However, no matter how strong this strong woman is, there will be times when she is lonely.

Boss Cao, on the other hand, has the least resistance to such people whose husbands have died.

Therefore, Mrs. Zhang and Boss Cao are destined to collide with each other.

What Zhen Yao didn't know was that when he saw his mother and sister again, he didn't know when it would be...

Zhen's car followed the envoy slowly towards Xuchang.

In fact, Wuji County is not too far away from Xuchang, but there is a section in the middle that needs to cross the Yellow River, which consumes energy.

After about 20 days, Zhen's car finally arrived in Xuchang.

However, when they arrived in Xuchang, they realized that both Cao Cao and Tong Fei were not in Xuchang.

"what!"

"Half a month ago, Cao Sikong went to Runan?"

Mrs. Zhang heard the news as soon as she entered Xuchang City.

It turned out that more than 20 days ago, Yuan Shu suddenly ordered Liu Bei, Lu Bu, and Ji Ling to lead [-] troops each to attack Runan from three directions, and must take back the old nest of Yuzhou.

Ten days ago, after an army of 15 went out, Yuan Shu swore an oath in Shouchun and personally led an army of [-] as a follow-up, vowing to defeat Cao Cao!

Runan is the southern center of Yuzhou, not far from Xuchang, so it can be called a barrier.

Therefore, if there is a loss in Runan, Xuchang will be in danger.

Yuan Shu can be said to be proud of himself now.

Lu Bu, Liu Bei, Sun Ce, and Ji Ling, the four heavenly kings under his command, can give him to the bull!

Before that, Yuan Shu had been suffering from the weakness of his generals, which led to the low combat effectiveness of the army.

But now, there is Lu Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Rider first.

Later, Liu Bei led the remnants of the Yellow Turban who followed him in the north and south to join in, and Yuan Shu's strength rose instantly!

Even Liu Biao of Jingzhou sent envoys to make friends with Yuan Shu immediately after hearing the news.

In order to show his support for Yuan Shu, Liu Biao also dispatched Cai Mao to lead [-] soldiers and horses to station at the border of Jingzhou, echoing Yuan Shu.

The two forces add up to nearly 30 troops, and the momentum resounds throughout the Central Plains!

Faced with this situation, Boss Cao naturally can no longer sit still.

In order to calm the morale of the army, he personally led an army of [-] troops and marched towards Runan.

Because of the gap in military strength, Cao Cao sent reinforcements to Chen Deng and Mi Zhu in Xuzhou, and marched into Runan from the direction of Peiguo.

At the same time, Zang Ba was ordered to lead the army to attack Huainan in order to prevent Shouchun from reinforcing Runan again.

With such an arrangement, within the three states, Cao Jun's available troops were basically mobilized.

There is no doubt that this war will be a battle to determine the hegemony of the Central Plains, and there is no room for sloppiness.

In Cao Yingli, Tong Fei, Guo Jia, and Xun You became the combat army divisions.

Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, and Cheng Yu stayed in Xuchang to take charge of government affairs.

As for the generals, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, and Li Dian were in charge of staying behind, and almost all the remaining generals of the Cao army participated in the battle.

Including Cao Ang also followed to participate in this battle, which is regarded as the first battle.

Hearing the news that Cao Jun came out in full force, Zhen Mi's mother, Mrs. Zhang, had no choice but to temporarily stay in Xuchang with the envoy and wait and see the opportunity.

The envoy of great wisdom also looked annoyed. If he hadn't been stuck at this point in time, he would have been rewarded by Boss Cao.

It's a pity now, we can only wait for Boss Cao to come back in victory.

If he returns in a big defeat, there is no doubt that his reward will also disappear.

.........

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Boss Cao started the rush march mode and arrived at Runan City before Yuan Shu's army.

However, when he arrived in Runan, another piece of bad news came.

Liu Biao of Jingzhou may be greedy for the land, or he may not want to offend Yuan Shu, so he ordered Cai Mao to set off from the border of Jingzhou and direct his troops to guide Yang!

Nanyang is the junction of Yuzhou and Jingzhou.

Since ancient times, it has been unclear whether this land belongs to Jingzhou or Yuzhou.

(It’s hard to tell. For example, in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, this land belonged to Jingzhou in name, but it was never in the hands of Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou. Instead, it belonged to Yuan Shu and Cao Cao successively.)

Nanyang happened to be another county with vast land.

With Nanyang, there is no doubt that Liu Biao's power will be greatly increased.

Therefore, it is necessary to send people to guard Nanyang to block Cai Mao's army!

Usually at this time, our general Zixiao should appear on the stage.

but……

This time he stayed in Xuchang and did not go out with the army.

Boss Cao is very anxious now, he has a bunch of generals who are good at attacking.

But if you want to command a large-scale defensive operation, it must be Cao Zixiao with an iron wall and an iron wall!

Furthermore, Zhao Yun is also a person who can attack and defend.

But Zhao Yun is the commander-in-chief of Cao Jun's cavalry, and he will be needed in the next battle against Lu Bu.

Yu Jin was also a good choice. He was strict in running the army and was an upright person, but in order to meet the reinforcements from Xuzhou, Yu Jin led his army to Peiguo to welcome them.

I can't make it back anytime soon.

The military situation is extremely urgent again!

Scanning the remaining generals of Cao Ying, Xia Houyuan, Le Jin, Cao Hong, Xu Rong, Xu Huang, Lu Qian, Li Tong, Ju Yi.

The offense became fiercer and the temper became more violent. In short, there was no one who could command a large-scale defensive battle.

Boss Cao was very worried about this, and he couldn't change a general suitable for defensive warfare to resist Cai Mao in a while.

However, in the dead of night, Cao Ang suddenly came to Cao Cao's camp and asked to lead troops to resist Cai Mao.

"Zixiu, are you joking?"

Cao Cao stared at Cao Ang in surprise.
