Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

But Zhang Fei always had some worries in his heart, "It's too quiet...it's even weird!" Zhang Fei walked back and forth in his room, and besides him, there were Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and Jian Yong in the room. three people.

These three are already Liu Bei's best civil servants and advisers.

They are all graceful and dignified people, and if they are allowed to go out to brag and connect with each other, it must be done properly, but if they are allowed to serve as aides and discuss important military affairs, it will really embarrass them.

The only Chen Deng who is proficient in military affairs, Liu Bei had to exclude him from the inner circle because he paid more attention to the interests of the family than the group.

Like Boss Cao in the early days, although Liu Bei is now Xuzhou Mu, this does not make him popular with those famous families.For the children of the family like Chen Gui and Chen Deng, it doesn't matter who will be Xuzhou Mu, as long as it is in the interests of their family.

"General Zhang, don't shake it back and forth, it makes me dizzy!" Jian Yong waved his hands and said to Zhang Fei.

"Xianhe, Zizhong, Gongyou, you are making up my mind for me!" Zhang Fei came to the three of them and said.

"Judging from the information collected so far, although Cao Bao and others are secretly dissatisfied with the lord becoming Xuzhou Mu, there is no clear sign of rebellion?" Sun Qian asked suspiciously.

"The Cao family has been making frequent business moves recently, but I can't see what they really are doing." Mi Zhu also mentioned some unusual situations from his own news channel.

Zhang Fei felt that the matter was not that simple. With his own ability, he really couldn't figure out the key point.

After a while, Zhang Fei let out a helpless hey and said, "That grandson of Cao Bao can really bear it. I humiliated him in front of so many officials, but he didn't even show his feet."

"General Zhang, you're still a little reckless." Jian Yong made a small criticism at the right time.

But Zhang Fei smiled indifferently, and said, "Xianhe, you are so cowardly. Cao Bao is just an idiot. What can he do with the one or two thousand birds under his command?"

Jian Yong shook his head and stopped talking. After thinking for a while, Mi Zhu suggested:

"General Zhang, I believe that we should remain unchanged in response to all changes.

At the same time, it is necessary to send someone to report the situation in Xuzhou to the lord so that the lord can secretly preserve his strength. "

After hearing Mi Zhu's words, Jian Yong couldn't help but agree: "Yes, just put on a show, there's no need to fight Yuan Shu to the death for Cao Cao, right?"

Zhang Fei felt that what they said was reasonable, so he said: "Then do as you said first, and I will write a letter to my brother right now!"

Zhang Fei did as soon as he thought of it, and he quickly took out the high-end new paper bought at a high price from a dealer in N Road from the cabinet, and spread it on the table.

Picking up the pen, Zhang Fei was thinking about what to write with his eldest brother Liu Bei, when there was a sudden noise outside his mansion.

"What's going on? Why is it so noisy outside?"

Zhang Fei put down his pen and opened the door of the house to see what happened.

Just in time, a panic-stricken personal guard ran over outside the mansion.

After seeing Zhang Fei's figure, the personal guard scrambled to the front, pointed to the outside and said: "General Zhang is not good! Cao Bao rebelled!!!"

"What?!!" Zhang Fei glared angrily when he heard the words.

He knew something was wrong with Cao Bao, but he didn't expect Cao Bao to rebel so decisively.

"No, the grandson has only 2000 people. How can he have the courage and confidence to rebel?" Zhang Fei thought about it, and felt that something was wrong. He grabbed the soldier's arm, pulled him in front of him and asked: " Say, how many people under Cao Bao's men?"

The soldier was so painfully pinched by Zhang Fei, he kept pointing at his arm and said, "It's broken..."

Seeing this, Zhang Fei quickly let go of his palm and urged, "Say it quickly!"

The soldiers rubbed their arms and replied: "The small ones can't see very clearly, but the soldiers led by Cao Bao outside the city are densely packed, at least 3 to [-] thousand!"

"3 to 2 people???" Zhang Fei was taken aback when he heard the words, and said to himself, "The defenders in Xuzhou are only [-] people in total. Where did Cao Bao get so many soldiers?"

They are all old brothers who have followed since the crusade against the Yellow Turban. Zhang Fei didn't think that the guards would lie about this kind of thing. He asked, "Which gate did Cao Bao attack from?"

"North gate! Our defenders at the north gate are only 1000 people. It is estimated that the city gate has already fallen!"

Although Xuzhou has 1 defenders, at least half of them need to be stationed in various places, and there are less than [-] defenders left behind in Xiapi City.

The four city gates all need people to be stationed, and with the addition of soldiers on duty, a city gate will not retain too many people when there is no fighting on weekdays.

1000 people, how can this withstand the sneak attack of Cao Bao's tens of thousands of people?

"Damn it!" Zhang Fei cursed, turned around and rushed back into the room, and said to the three nervous-looking scribes in the room: "Three gentlemen, Cao Bao has rebelled, and he has [-] to [-] soldiers under his command. It is estimated that it will not be able to defend under the attack.

Before they enter the city, I will lead my personal guards to escort you and your elder brother's family to leave first. "

Knowing the urgency of the situation, Mi Zhu, Jian Yong, and Sun Qian did not dare to hesitate, and followed Zhang Fei to leave his mansion.

"Whoever catches Zhang Fei will be promoted to two ranks, and the reward will be [-]!"

"Catch Zhang Fei alive!"

"Catch Zhang Fei alive!"

"kill!"

Zhang Fei wanted to go to Liu Bei's mansion to look for Liu Bei's family members, but just after he left the mansion, there were countless enemy troops rushing towards them!

Jian Yong was shocked and said: "Ah! Was the city gate breached so quickly?"

"There must be Cao Bao's internal support in this city. He doesn't need to storm the gate at all!" Mi Zhu forced himself to calm down and asked Zhang Fei, "Three generals, what should we do?"

There were only two hundred personal guards around Zhang Fei, he stepped on the black horse led by his guards, turned his head and said to Jian Yong and the others: "Follow me and kill!"

After finishing speaking, before the three of Jian Yong complained, Zhang Fei rushed out with a cry of "Drive!"

There are eighteen special people in Zhang Fei's personal guard, named "Eighteen Horsemen of Yanyun".

Holding a Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand and a black horse in his crotch, Zhang Fei is followed by Eighteen Swallow Generals riding ahead to open the way.

There is no doubt about Zhang Fei's combat power. Where Zhang Ba Snake Spear passed, the enemy's soldiers and horses were smashed, and Cao Bao's "borrowed" soldiers from Qingzhou were frightened!

Jian Yong, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and other officials and soldiers who came together on the road followed Zhang Fei and others and quickly fled towards the nearest east gate.

Chapter 75 Chen Gong's plan

The north gate of Xiapi City.

Cao Bao, Zang Ba, and Song Xian and Wei Xu, who came all the way from Qingzhou, have led the army slowly into Xiapi City.

Although all the recruits from the Qingzhou Army had just joined the army, they were led by two experienced generals, Song Xian and Wei Xu, and it was not too difficult to defeat the soldiers who stayed behind in Xuzhou.

What's more, there are inner city gates that should be opened in Xiapi city, which makes Song Xian and Wei Xu feel that the battle of Xiapi is boring and wants to make people doze off...

Cao Bao had a total of more than 1 people, of which [-] were the Qingzhou Army led by Song Xian and Wei Xu.

Of the remaining 7000 people, [-] are soldiers from Cao Bao's headquarters, and the other [-] are guards borrowed from his own family and other aristocratic gentry.

As Mi Zhu said, Cao's family has been operating in Xiapi City for many years, and he has already deployed an internal response in secret, and he will open the gate of Xiapi City only when the army arrives.

Zhang Fei tried to force Cao Bao to show his feet without fully grasping the situation, but after all, he was a little too impatient.

The lack of a counselor with an overall view and comprehensive planning is the main reason why the three Liu Bei brothers failed repeatedly in the early years.

Zhang Fei's response was quite timely.

Although Xuzhou was lost, at least he took most of the officials loyal to Liu Bei and nearly [-] soldiers gathered on the road, and went to Xuyi to vote for Liu Bei's camp.

It's just that Liu Bei's family members were all trapped in Xiapi City.

In Xuyi, Liu Bei has been confronting Ji Ling for almost half a month.

Today, suddenly from the direction of Xuzhou, a group of extremely down-and-out soldiers and officials came.

In the big tent of the Chinese army,

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei, who was covered in bruises and looked depressed. After all, he just sighed lightly and didn't open his mouth to blame him.

However, after Guan Yu counted the defeated army and civil and military officials, he hurried into the tent of the Chinese army, came to Zhang Fei and asked, "Third brother, why don't you see the eldest brother's family?"

Zhang Fei raised his head with difficulty, his face was ashen,

"I...I was about to lead the troops to the eldest brother's mansion, but Cao Bao's soldiers had already blocked our way."

When Guan Yu heard that Zhang Fei not only lost Xuzhou, but also trapped Liu Bei's family in the city, he couldn't help scolding him loudly, blaming him for being too reckless and not considering the consequences.

Zhang Fei was so scolded by Guan Yu that he didn't dare to speak back, his gray face gradually turned red.

Zhang Fei, who was ashamed, lowered his head, but happened to see the double-strand sword hanging from Liu Bei's waist.

Zhang Fei, who was extremely ashamed in his heart, suddenly reached out and pulled out the long sword from Liu Bei's waist, and was about to wipe his neck on the spot and kill himself!

Fortunately, Liu Bei reacted quickly, and quickly pressed the hilt of the sword and Zhang Fei's big hand,

Seeing this, Mi Zhu, Jian Yong, Sun Qian and others around him stepped forward to stop Zhang Fei who wanted to commit suicide.

Liu Bei comforted Zhang Fei, Guan Yu also apologized to Zhang Fei and persuaded Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei slowly calmed down.

"It's impossible for Cao Bao to have so many soldiers. Where did those soldiers come from?" Liu Bei asked everyone's doubts.

"Since there are no such soldiers in Xuzhou, could they be from other places?"

"Other places? You mean other princes?"

Sun Qian frowned, and said the three most likely origins, "Cao Cao? Yuan Shao? Lu Bu?"

Liu Bei suddenly seemed to grasp something in his mind, so he said: "Could it be that Cao Cao transferred me away from Xuzhou under the guise of the emperor's edict, and then secretly colluded with Cao Bao to invade my Xuzhou?"

Mi Zhu shook his head, and said: "What Cao Cao did in Yanzhou made the local aristocratic families in Xuzhou reject him. It is impossible for them to cooperate with Cao Jun."

Liu Bei felt that what Mi Zhu said was very reasonable, nodded slightly and said, "It's because I didn't think carefully."

"Brother, I think Qingzhou Lu Bu is the most likely one!" Zhang Fei frowned and said after thinking for a moment.

"Is there any evidence?" Liu Bei turned to look at Zhang Fei and asked.

"I have sent many spies to monitor Cao Bao's movements. Although Cao Bao himself did not do anything, the Cao family had many business contacts with Qingzhou some time ago." Mi Zhu told him this news.

When Zhang Fei said this, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself hard, saying:

"It's all my fault. I didn't think about the movement of Cao's family behind Cao Bao beforehand. The Qingzhou soldiers might have quietly come to Xuzhou at that time."

"Chen Gong is a well-known scholar in Yanzhou, and has great prestige among famous families.

When he withdrew from Yanzhou, there were a large number of Yanzhou gentry and gentry accompanying him.

If it was Chen Gong who made the move, the Xuzhou family might really reach a cooperation with him. "The more Mi Zhu thought about it, the more he felt that Lv Bu of Qingzhou was probably doing something.

Everyone was silent, no matter who made the move, the result is a foregone conclusion, and now it will not help to find out who is responsible.

Liu Bei discussed with everyone, now that Xuzhou is lost, if Ji Ling and Cao Bao attack back and forth, it may be difficult to resist.

So Liu Beijun took advantage of Ji Ling's unaware of the changes in Xuzhou, so he pulled out his camp overnight and went to the small town of Guangling.

Cao Bao successfully controlled Xiapi, and he sent someone to lock up Liu Bei's family members.

However, Liu Bei's second wife, Mi Zhen, is Mi Zhu's younger sister, and the Mi family has a lot of connections in Xuzhou, Cao Bao dare not do anything to them for the time being.

Sitting on his knees in his remote cabin, Wang Xiu had just finished writing what happened in Xiapi City today.

"Cao Bao has successfully expelled Zhang Fei and occupied Xiapi. Except for the Mi family and the Chen family who have not made a clear statement, the other aristocratic families in Xuzhou are willing to join Marquis Wen. So far, the military division's plan in Xuzhou has been completed."

After writing this, Wang Xiu's mouth suddenly showed a mocking arc: "Cao Bao's prestige is not enough to become the lord of Xuzhou, he wants to ask the lord to give him more support and help."

After finishing writing, Wang Xiu picked up the letter paper, and after the ink was dry, he packed the letter and handed it to his subordinates, and said: "Be sure to deliver it to the military adviser as quickly as possible!"

"Here!"

......

The news from Xuzhou Wang Xiu was delivered to Chen Gong within a day and a night.

Holding the letter in his hand, Chen Gong walked briskly to Lu Bu's mansion with joy in his heart.

Since all of Lu Bu's family members fell to Puyang, Lu Bu rarely smiled.

But when Chen Gong saw Lu Bu in the gazebo in the backyard, he found that Lu Bu was a child who was reading something and smiling silly.

After walking in, Chen Gong saw a stack of letters in Lu Bu's hand.

Chen Gong guessed that these were probably sent from Chen Liu, and only Lu Lingqi, Diao Chan and Yan Shi could make Lu Bu smile from the bottom of his heart.

As for Cao Bao's daughter, Lu Bu hardly paid any attention to her.

He agreed to marry her only because of political needs, and she is actually a poor person.

"Ahem!" Chen Gong coughed heavily a few meters away.

After hearing Chen Gong's voice, Lu Bu put away the letter in his hand, stood up and asked Chen Gong, "Sir, is there something important to do here?"

"Marquis Wen, our plan in Xuzhou has succeeded!" Chen Gong smiled brightly.

Lu Bu didn't know why Chen Gong was so happy, so he asked curiously: "Military divisions have always been impeccable in their plans and rarely fail, shouldn't they lose their composure?"

Chen Gong chuckled and said, "Haha! I still can't hide it from you, Feng Xian!!"

"Military division, but please speak clearly!"
