Zhou Lang Zhou Lang

Li Mu smiled lightly: "Who said that I must send troops to Cao Cao to fight?"

Seeing that Zhao Yun was shocked when he heard the words, he suddenly looked up at her, while Gao Shun was thoughtful.She also didn't want to be too tight-lipped, because Tai Shici stopped Yuan Shu and was about to come back, not to mention Tai Shici couldn't leave her alone in Xuzhou, so the matter of sending Yuan Shu north would naturally fall on Gao Shun. There was a shortage of manpower, and since Zhao Yun had successfully broken out, she naturally wanted to make the best use of him, and she would not let him go back and fight to the death.

"The day before yesterday, Gongjin had an army report that Yuan Shu was losing the battle. He also heard that Cao Cao's army was under pressure. He had abandoned the city and fled to the north. Now he is going along the Huai River to Xuzhou. If Cao Cao is easy to talk, I will let Yuan Shu go to Qingzhou and join Yuan Shao. Otherwise, I will bother you." General Gao leads the army, not for war, just drag Cao Jun in Xuzhou immediately." She paused, raised her hand to salute Zhao Yun, "I don't know if General Zhao is willing to take a trip to Cao Ying for me, and carry this sentence with me. To Cao Cao?"

Gongsun Zan was dead, and Yuan Shao had completely freed up his hands while his power had greatly increased. The battle of Guandu was about to start.Cao Cao used tiger and leopard cavalry this time, presumably he also saw that Yuan Shao was going to trouble him, and if he wanted a quick victory, how could he stand the delay?

Although there are no counselors to offer advice, Li Mu at least knows the general direction of history, and also knows the characters of the two men standing in front of her. Countless counselors have made thousands of calculations just to use the right people to do the right thing at the right time. Among the three correctness, Li Mu was able to get two. As for whether the final result is correct, it all depends on what people think in their hearts.To achieve the desired purpose is naturally to do the right thing.

Zhao Yun understood that Li Mu wanted him to go to Cao Ying as an envoy, but he didn't understand why sending Yuan Shu to Qingzhou became a condition for negotiating with Cao Cao.

"General Zhao knows that not all brothers in the world can go on a blind date, and the marriage was broken because of the brother's funeral." Recalling the situation that day when Zhao Yun asked if he had married a wife, and Zhao Yun came back because of his brother's funeral, Li Muyi was puzzled. Pointingly smiled, he explained, "In the Yuan clan of four generations and three lords, Yuan Shu is the son-in-law, and Yuan Shao is the concubine. How can a man live his life in the light of his concubine's face? And the Yuan Shao brothers are fighting, isn't Cao Cao the happiest?"

As soon as these words came out, both Gao Shun and Zhao Yun showed expressions that were okay.They are all brave generals on the battlefield, who are good at setting up battles against the enemy, but they have never set their sights on the back house, let alone thought that this seems to be a dispute between the concubine and concubine in the eyes of the back house woman. It can also affect the battle situation!

However, this kind of gossip is the repertoire of later generations at eight o'clock.What's more, Li Mu vaguely remembered that after Yuan Shao's death, it seemed that his sons alone had divided the land and fought for power. If Yuan Shu was added, wouldn't it be more lively?I believe Cao Cao must be happy to watch this bloody drama with her.

I also believe that as soon as Cao Cao heard that she used Yuan Shu as a bargaining chip to negotiate, even if he didn't think of this level for a while, as Yuan Shao's old opponent, he would immediately understand.

Just when Yuan Shu was "invited" by Tai Shici to enter the barracks, Zhao Yun took the 50-member team that Li Mu ordered to him and galloped all the way to Cao Ying.

Yuan Shu and his party consisted of more than 20 people. In addition to his family members and children, there was also a tall and tall young man in white clothes. Li Mu couldn't help taking another look at Lanzhi's demeanor.

Yuan Shu's expression was tired, and the soaring crown on his head was a little askew, but these did not detract from his arrogance and nobleness. When he saw Li Mu, he just said, "You are Sun Quan?"

Although Li Mu lived in Shouchun for a few months, on the one hand, Tai Shici kept her hidden from the public, and Yuan Shu never came to visit her, so naturally he couldn't recognize her.

Li Mu nodded with a smile on his face. The young man opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something to her, but Li Mu had already turned his head and told the guards beside him, "Please enter the tent to rest, so that you can settle down."

Not to mention how Yuan Shu, who was half-arrested and half-delivered to a large tent, was furious at Li Mu's "rudeness". He fell hard to the ground, and cursed bitterly: "If it wasn't for Liu Bei, how could I allow Zhou Lang to beat me!"

It was the news that Shouchun was breached by Zhou Yu.

Frightened by Cao Cao's thunderous fury, the little school who sent the military report knelt down on the ground and did not dare to raise his head. Cao Chun on one side bowed and clasped his fists very calmly to challenge: "Zhou Lang quietly sent his troops out of Shouchun, and the troops he brought There must not be many, after breaking Xiapi, Chun led the tiger and leopard cavalry to Shouchun overnight, and he will surely catch Zhou Lang by surprise."

This young tiger and leopard cavalry commander is slender, with a white face and beardless, and his appearance is extremely gentle. If it weren't for the muscles on his shoulders and arms stretching his thin shirt tightly when he arched his hands, it would be impossible to compare him with the bow and jump. Ma's rude samurai linked together.

Cao Cao attached great importance to his younger brother, and his anger gradually calmed down with his words, and his mind became sober. With sharp eyes, he thought about the current battle situation in Xiapi for a moment, and asked slowly: Said: "If I order Zihe to attack the city with all my strength, how long will it take to take down Xiapi?"

Cao Chun obviously thought about this question a long time ago, and smiled lightly: "Before sunrise tomorrow, please ask my lord to climb up the Xiapi tower."

"Okay!" Cao Cao clapped his hands and smiled, "I'm just..."

Just as he was about to give an order, the soldiers outside the tent came rushing to report: "My lord, the general who broke out from Xiapi asked for an audience outside the camp, saying that he wanted to bring a word to the lord for Sun Quan."

As soon as this remark came out, Cao Cao immediately became interested.Earlier, he took advantage of Xiaopei's victory and besieged Xiapi with all his strength. He was about to break through the city in one fell swoop, but the suspension bridge in front of the city gate was suddenly lowered. The group, tore a bloody path among his thousands of soldiers and horses.Cao Cao saw clearly from the heights of the Central Army, knowing that this must be the person Liu Bei sent out to ask for help, but he didn't know when Liu Bei had such a strong general again.

He knew that Li Mu was stationed in Guangling, so he also knew that the person Liu Bei asked for help was probably Li Mu.However, his situation is much stronger than that of Liu Bei, and Li Mu is not Sun Ce. Although he is somewhat famous, he has not yet reached the point where he can be afraid, so he generously cherishes his talents and orders the generals not to If you shoot arrows, you can't fight to the death. In this way, Zhao Yun can't be stopped.

Cao Cao originally wanted to inquire about this person after he captured Xiapi, but he sent him to the door himself, and after saying a few words "please come in", he suddenly realized the second part of the soldiers' words...

Speak for Sun Quan?Isn't this person Liu Bei's general?Ask Sun Quan for help, if Sun Quan does not save him, he should tell Liu Bei, why come to him instead?And if Sun Quan had something to bring to him, he could just send envoys to Cao Ying. Although the land of Wu was not as talented as the Central Plains, it would not be short of envoys, so why did Liu Bei's troops send the message?

Is this person from Liu Bei or Sun Quan?

Before he knew it, Cao Cao's subconscious suspicion made him subconsciously follow Li Mu's established route.

Of course, Li Mu has no shortage of envoys, and Zhao Yun was asked to pass on the message, of course because this courageous general would never be frightened in front of the battle, but the deeper reason is just to let Liu Bei have the same thoughts as Cao Cao at this moment. .

Liu Bei can let Zhao Yun break through alone, so he should trust his loyalty.You don't even have this little trust and you still have to work hard for you. Let Zhao Yun see this clearly earlier. Li Mu used this thought without feeling guilty.

It's just that she didn't expect that, in this way, Cao Cao, who didn't pay attention to her before, became interested in her because of Zhao Yun's performance this time.

Zhao Yun cupped his fists at him without being humble or overbearing, and presented Li Mu's proposals on Yuan Shu one by one.Cao Cao was indeed puzzled for a moment, but then he understood immediately. His sharp eyes flashed through his slender eyes, and he suddenly laughed loudly: "My son Sun Quan wants you to send a message. Could it be that he wants to use my hand to get rid of Liu Xuande's subordinates?" Are you a general?" He came out from behind the military case and stood in front of Zhao Yun with his hands behind his back.

Cao Chun's eyes froze, and he also took a step forward, stood behind Zhao Yun, and slowly withdrew his sword from his waist.

Cao Cao was too close to Zhao Yun. This person broke through alone, with superb martial arts skills, and a life-threatening bravery. If he assassinated by sending a message, this is his best chance.

The commander of tiger and leopard cavalry seems to have also turned into a tiger and leopard, his eyes fixed on Zhao Yun's shoulders, like a beast staring at its prey, as long as Zhao Yun makes a slight movement, or Cao Cao gives an order, the sword in his hand will They will immediately stab him from behind.

Zhao Yun met his gaze without blinking or avoiding, without any fear, he replied calmly: "Mr. Quan has left his camp and went north to Huaiyin."

"Oh?" Cao Cao couldn't help being slightly surprised.

To him, Li Mu was just Sun Ce's younger brother, even though this young man who seemed to be inferior to the weak crown had gained fame in the past year, he didn't take it seriously.But at this time, perhaps Zhao Yun's expression was too calm when he said this, or maybe he heard that Sun Jun clearly did not want to fight, but he still left Guangling, which is the closest to Jiangkou, and went north to Huaiyin. Or maybe Zhao Yun's stature like a gun, and his unhesitating attitude when speaking of "Mr. Quan", somehow made him vaguely uneasy.

After lowering his eyes and meditating for a moment, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly stopped on the military newspaper he threw on the ground, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Zihe, quickly send scouts along the Huaihe River to Shouchun to find out the news and see where Zhou Lang is now?"

However, as if to confirm the suspicion in his heart, Cao Chun hadn't had time to say yes when a horn blared outside the tent.

This is the sound of discovering the enemy's tracks and warning the whole army.

Cao Cao's face changed, and he walked quickly to the tent door, and sternly asked the little principal in front of the tent, "What's going on?"

"Report to Sikong, hundreds of warships have been found in the upper reaches of the Huaihe River, and they are heading here!"

Cao Chun also realized: "Is that Zhou Yu's warship?"

The upper reaches of the Huaihe River and Huaiyin are in the west and east of Caoying, and the two sides meet to form horns, like two sharp knives against the back of Caoying.No matter how short a sharp knife is, it is still a sharp edge. Even if he can break through the city gate of Xiapi tonight, these two sharp knives can block him in the city.

Even if it won't last long, Yuan Shao in the north may fight Gongsun Zan at any time with the momentum of a big victory.He could ignore the Sun family of Wu, but if Yuan Shao took the opportunity to cut off his retreat...

"Little Sun Lang," Cao Cao let out a long breath, turned around and squinted his eyes to look at Zhao Yun again, "I underestimated him!"
