The letter was crushed tightly by Pu Chen's arm.Tang Yu didn't give up, with a little luck, as soon as he tried hard, he heard Pu Chen say: "Don't be presumptuous."

Tang Yu quickly stopped, Pu Chen raised his head, his eyes were black and blue, obviously he hadn't slept much, and the stubble that came out made him look a bit vicissitudes.Seeing that Tang Yu's eyes fell on the letter, Pu Chen didn't explain, quickly sealed it, and handed it to him: "Use the fastest horse to let the scouts send it out without delay."

Tang Yu said "Oh" obediently, and just about to try to ask, he was stared at by Pu Chen, so he had to hold back the great curiosity and handed the letter to the scout.From then on, Tang Yu noticed that Pu Chen went to the scouts every day to inquire about military newspapers and letters.Tang Yu slandered, it was obvious that the military newspapers were sent over immediately, and the owner of his family didn't know when he was so concerned about the scout's errand.

It has been a while since Liangzhou surrendered to Beiyan, Beiyan's grand dan Yu Haril came to Liangzhou city in person, set up the town of Liangzhou, set up walls to clear the fields, and took very careful precautions.Tang Yu saw that Puchen's anxiety was increasing day by day, and Puchen's brows were furrowed when discussing matters with Mr. Wei and the generals every day.Many generals in the tent requested to lead troops to fight, but Pu Chen rejected them all.

The discussion continued until late at night, and in the end only Pu Chen, Mr. Wei and Xiang Hu were left.Xiang Hu returned to Wuchang from Jiankang with Pu Chen, and was promoted to Zhonglang General at this time.

"Liangzhou City is located on a plateau and is very dangerous. It would be futile to attack it head-on. What's more, Haril is already in Liangzhou City. Only after they are completely tamed will they start their actions. If they can't hold on, we will only demoralize us if we lead our troops." Pu Chen said.

"Then are we just going to hand over Liangzhou to Beiyan? Liangzhou still has 2 people from our Pu family. Is the Patriarch going to abandon them?" Xiang Hu was annoyed.

Mr. Wei explained: "The person who surrendered to Beiyan was Gao You, the prefect of Liangzhou. He was originally a party member of the Qi family. Because the Qi family was killed, he turned to Beiyan. The head of the family is now leading the governor of Liangzhou. Originally in charge of the military power in Liangzhou, if Gao You hadn’t secretly communicated with Beiyan, quickly surrendered Haril, and Haril would personally lead the troops to sit in Liangzhou City, trapping our 2 people in Liangzhou, how could we be like this? passive?"

Xiang Hu said: "That Gao You was originally a literati, how could our brothers listen to his orders? Lei Xiong, the captain of Liangzhou, was originally one of our people, and he was also in charge of the [-] soldiers and horses in Liangzhou. There is no possibility of surrender. Let us lead our troops forward and cooperate with him internally and externally, and Liangzhou will definitely be able to take it down!"

Pu Chen shook his head: "Lei Xiong must be under control. Since he refuses to surrender, it is impossible for Khalil to let him continue to lead the army."

"Not good, could Lei Xiong have been killed by Khalil?" Xiang Hu and Lei Xiong had always speculated, but thinking of this episode, their faces changed.

Pu Chen said: "Khalil dare not kill him. If he kills him, the 2 people in Liangzhou will be out of control. As far as Khalil is concerned, the best policy must be to persuade Lei Xiong to surrender. 2 of them were incorporated into Beiyan's army and stationed in Liangzhou for Beiyan."

"Bah! This barbarian has a good idea, and wants our brother to guard Liangzhou for him!" Xiang Hu spat, and then said worriedly, "So, we shouldn't attack directly, so what should we do?"

"A trick." Pu Chen said, "Khalil can't stay in Liangzhou forever." He lowered his voice and whispered a plan to the two of them.

After Xiang Hu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he was eager to try, but Mr. Wei said hesitantly: "This plan is ingenious, but it is too risky, and the owner should not take risks."

Pu Chen said: "This plan is only suitable for me. Besides, after the plan is completed, someone needs to preside over the overall situation in Liangzhou. This person must be me."

Mr. Wei was still hesitating, but Pu Chen said: "This time I will take Xiang Hu and some personal guards with me. Since Xiang Hu is here, sir, please rest assured."

When Xiang Hu heard that Pu Chen would take him with him, he excitedly said: "Please don't worry, sir, Xiang will definitely protect the Patriarch well!"

In the next few days, Pu Chen quickly counted a small group of people and made preparations for Liangzhou.This strategy was very secretive. Apart from Mr. Wei and Xiang Hu, Pu Chen didn't explain it to anyone, not even Tang Yu.It's just that Tang Yu noticed that Pu Chen seemed to have something on his mind these days. Even Mr. Wei asked Pu Chen what he was not ready for. Tang Yu called over.

"Has he not replied yet?" This time, Pu Chen was straightforward, and Tang Yu didn't have to guess, this "he" was naturally Wen Tao.

"No." Tang Yu shook his head.

Pu Chen seemed to sigh lightly, and tapped his fingers on the desk unconsciously.

"Does the owner want to take him to Liangzhou this time?" Tang Yu probed.

Pu Chen got up with a "huh", as if he was a little angry: "It's not necessary to take him with me."

Tang Yu looked confused.

Pu Chen seemed to have made a decision: "Forget it, don't wait, I'll leave tomorrow."

"Then I'll go with the Patriarch." Tang Yu said.

"Just stay in Wuchang." Pu Chen accidentally didn't take Tang Yu with him this time.Seeing Tang Yu's slightly disappointed expression, Pu Chen said, "If he comes, take good care of him and don't let him go to Liangzhou."

Tang Yu was even more confused at this time: "The owner wanted to take him to Liangzhou just now, why doesn't he let him go to Liangzhou now?"

Pu Chen glanced at him: "It's safe for him to follow me. If he goes by himself, Liangzhou is dangerous, and at the hands of Beiyan people, how can he easily risk it?"

Tang Yu said "Oh" and muttered, "The owner of the family himself has been in danger."

Pu Chen glared, and Tang Yu shut his mouth knowingly.

"After I leave, you take care of Taotao...that civet cat." Pu Chen ordered again.

Tang Yu smiled happily when he heard it, so he ran over to hug the cat, but the cat probably understood their conversation, and was depressed at this time. Seeing Tang Yu coming to hug him, he scratched him impatiently.

"Patriarch, it caught me!" Tang Yu was wronged.

Pu Chen came over patiently, held the cat in his arms and comforted him softly.Tang Yu couldn't quite hear what Pu Chen said to the cat. Anyway, after being comforted by Pu Chen, the civet cat treated Tang Yu a lot better. Tang Yu was sad in his heart, and his status was not as good as a cat.

On the second day, Pu Chen set off early in the morning with Xiang Hu and a team of personal guards.Because the strategy this time was very dangerous, the news of Pu Chen's going to Liangzhou was strictly concealed, and even the garrison and generals in Wuchang City knew nothing about it. rest.On the contrary, Tang Yu's life is leisurely.Since Da Sima "occasionally feels the wind and cold", he has to serve on the side as a personal guard, and he doesn't have to go to the barracks to practice martial arts. He just needs to sleep until the sun rises every day and stay with the civet cat in Pu Chen's room.

Unexpectedly, this peaceful day was suddenly broken.

On this day, Tang Yu was stroking the cat in Pu Chen's room, when someone suddenly asked to see Pu Sima.Tang Yu said according to Mr. Wei's instructions: "Just say that Da Sima has been sick for the past two days and rested, and he has not seen any guests."

"The man said that his surname is Wen, and Da Sima will not miss him." The servant said.

"What?" Tang Yu stood up, "Is that man a good-looking son?"

The servant nodded and said like pounding garlic: "You look good, you have never seen such a good-looking young master."

Yo, Wen Tao is really here!Tang Yu's scalp tingled.Pu Chen had waited in Wuchang for more than ten days before there was no reply from Wen Tao. Tang Yu thought that Wen Tao would never show up, but he didn't reply and came to Wuchang directly!He was full of thoughts at the moment, how could he explain this to Wen Tao?While thinking, he hurriedly followed his servant to see Wen Tao.

In the front hall, a young man in a turquoise shirt was standing with his hands behind his back. Hearing footsteps, the young man turned his head, and it was Wen Tao.I haven't seen him for a few months, and he seems to have lost some weight. His complexion has also darkened a little due to the travel and dust, but his eyes are still as bright as a spot of paint, and that radiant face seems to illuminate the entire hall.

"Tang Yu." Wen Tao called him.

Although he is already very familiar with Wen Tao, when he suddenly saw him, the first sentence that popped out of Tang Yu's mind was "It's so good."

"Where's the young master?" Wen Tao asked.

Little Lord?Tang Yu was in a trance for a while, no one called "Young Master" here for a long time, he reacted for a while before saying, "Oh, you are talking about the Patriarch, come with me."

"Patriarch?" Wen Tao followed Tang Yu's footsteps, and suddenly realized, yes, now Pu Chen is the Patriarch of the Pu family, not the young master.

"Tang Yu, is the Patriarch sick?" Wen Tao asked all the way.

There were some soldiers and servants around, and Tang Yu was inconvenient to answer, so he just said a vague "hmm."

Seeing his ambiguous appearance, Wen Tao felt hesitant, so he silently followed Tang Yu all the way to Pu Chen's room.As soon as he entered the door, Tang Yu put the door bolt in place, and Wen Tao had already glanced at it. Sure enough, as he expected, there was no one in the room. The so-called "Puchen is sick" had hidden meanings.

"Tang Yu, where did he go?" Wen Tao said.

Tang Yuzheng didn't know how to answer, a civet cat ran over quickly, called Wen Tao affectionately, and rubbed his tail against him.

Wen Tao picked up the cat, but still stared at Tang Yu and said, "Where is he?"

"The owner said, don't let you know." Tang Yu was in a dilemma.

"He wrote a letter to ask me to help him, so why didn't he let me know?" Wen Tao looked at Tang Yu's expression, and tentatively said, "Since he is not in Wuchang, and he asked you not to tell me where he went, then His whereabouts this time must be hidden." Wen Taolue thought for a while, and he had an answer, "Did he go to Liangzhou first, but he didn't want people to know that he went to Liangzhou, so let you unanimously declare that Da Sima "sick"?"

"Oh, you're so smart
