Remember [ ] in a second to provide you with wonderful novel reading.

The cavalry's marching speed was very fast, and it was within the territory of the state, so there was no need to bring too much baggage, so two days later, Xun Zhen led his troops to Hexiang.

Hexiang is adjacent to the State of Lu to the north, and the State of Lu still has the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. Therefore, Xun Chang chose a group of soldiers and horses to stay there before heading west to Rencheng. When he arrived at Hexiang, Xunzhen called the chief of Hexiang County and Qu Junhou of this song to see him and asked about the recent situation around Hexiang.

The chief officer of Hexiang and the Marquis of Qu Jun reported that none of the Yellow Turbans in the State of Lu has been intruding southward recently. According to the report, the main force of the Yellow Turbans in Lu seems to have gone north to Jibei and reconciled with the Jibei Yellow Turbans.

After Xun Zhen listened, Gu said to the left and right: "Qingyan and Yellow Turbans are of the same spirit. The Yellow Turbans from the State of Lu went north to support them. It seems that they want to fight a tough battle with Wenqian and Zilong in Jibei." The official of the shogunate, "Is there a military report from Jibei today?"

The servant replied, "Not yet."

Xun Zhen pondered for a while, and then ordered: "You can tell Wen Qian to tell him not to fight in waves, but to be cautious, and be careful that the Yellow Turbans from Jibei set up an ambush for him." Then he asked, "Where is Zilong?"

The servant replied, "General Zhao has already led his troops to Jibei, and they can join forces with General Le in Feicheng at the latest tonight."

"Okay." Xun Zhen nodded, touched the short moustache under her chin, briefly considered it, and said, "After passing on Wenqian, after joining forces with Zilong, you can go south and test Sheqiu and Gangxian. Wait for the Yellow Turbans in Jibei to see if they will make any changes."

The northern part of Lu State borders the southern part of Jibei, and the Yellow Turban of Lu State can only meet with the Jibei Yellow Turban in Sheqiu, Gangxian and other places, so if there is a big battle, it is very likely to happen in the southern part of Jibei. , In this case, you can temporarily change the plan of "mainly attacking Lu County, besieging the city and fighting for aid", pretending to go south, and first try the truth of the Yellow Turbans in Snake Hill and other places.

After all, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles. Although fighting is better than bravery, you must also be careful and careful at the same time.

The officials agreed to the promise, and someone drafted the letter and sent it to Le Jin and Zhao Yun.

The Yellow Turbans in the State of Lu and the battle in Jibei, although important, were not the reason why Xun Zhen came to Hexiang.

Xun Zhen personally led troops to Hexiang for Cao Cao.

Therefore, after simply understanding the situation in Xialu and Jibei, and giving Le Jin and Zhao Yun an order to adapt to the situation, Xun Zhen sent away the chief officials of Hexiang and the Marquis of Qu Jun, and turned the focus to Rencheng County. battlefield.

Xun Zhen asked, "Meng De brought me a book, what do you think of the others?"

When he was about to arrive at Hexiang, it was probably Cao Cao who knew about Xun Zhen's movements. He sent someone to send a private letter to Xun Zhen. In this personal letter, Cao Cao greeted Xun Zhen warmly and greeted Xun Zhen. After briefly recounting the long-term nostalgia, he asked Xun Zhen to meet at the junction of Shanyang County and Pei and Lu.

Whether it was Cao Cao's request or expectation, the advisors and ministers under Xun Zhen's account had their own opinions, but one thing was roughly the same, that is, most of them did not think it was necessary to meet Cao Cao.

Some people think that this is Cao Cao's plan to delay troops. Cao Cao wants to buy more time for himself so that he can organize and mobilize more troops, such as asking for troops from various counties in Yanzhou, or recruiting on the spot, etc. , in order to have a greater certainty to capture Rencheng.

Some people think that this is Cao Cao's ambush plan. Cao Cao may have ambushed elite soldiers at the place where Xun Zhen met, in order to take the opportunity to take Xun Zhen down and "catch the thief first and capture the king", thus ending the war.

Including Xi Zhicai and Xun You, they also did not recommend Xun Zhen to "accept the appointment". They did not think that Cao Cao would set up an ambush, but thought that there was no need for this.

Only Cheng Jia had a different opinion.

Cheng Jia believed that since Cao Cao proposed to meet, he would meet him. If he didn't, he would appear cowardly. The news spread, which might improve the morale of Yanzhou soldiers.

Cheng Jia's point of view is somewhat correct.

If Xun Zhen didn't make the appointment, Cao Cao's side might indeed publicize it, saying that Xun Zhen's "unnecessary" meeting was regarded as Xun Zhen's "afraid" of seeing him.

Cheng Jia is very happy with his achievements. Because of his short stature and ugly face, his inner inferiority complex leads to his outwardly competitive performance, so he has this opinion. After Xun You and others heard Cheng Jia's opinion, they all felt that it was quite reasonable.

Xun Zhen is inclined to see, but his starting point is different from Cheng Jia.

He thought to himself: "What Junchang said can't be wrong. With Mengde's wisdom, this possibility is indeed possible." He said, "I know Mengde and Junchang's concerns, although they are reasonable, must not be Mengde. original desire."

Xi Zhicai asked, "However, in the general's opinion, what does Caodong County mean?"

It has been some time since Cao Cao was listed as the prefect of Yanzhou by Yuan Shao, but in Xuzhou, from top to bottom, whether it is a civil servant or a military general, he is still called "Cao Dongjun", or "Cao Fenwu", or "General Cao". ", no one is called "Yanzhou", there is no other reason for this, but to show that they do not recognize the legal status of Cao Cao, the "Yanzhou prefect".

Xun Zhen sued the case and sighed, and said, "Human feelings, human feelings, and human beings, how can they be ruthless? Meng Dezhi's meeting was only because of human feelings." He took off the sack around his waist, showed it to everyone, and said, "This scorpion The bag, which was given by Meng De, I have used it to this day, although it is old and worn out, I do not want to give it up. Now the royal family is late, there are disputes at home, and groups of heroes are rising together, such as Yuan and Liu Jingzhou in the north and the south, and they are all in the hope of the Quartet, which can be called The hero of the state and the county, you can say that the only person who can be my confidant is Mengde. I think Mengde is like this, and I expect Mengde to see me the same."

"The general's meaning ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ is to make an appointment?"

"I'll meet him."

Someone said worriedly: "General Kuanren, because of old feelings, but if Cao Dongjun doesn't think like the general, what if he really sets up an ambush?"

Xun Zhen looked at Xin Ai who was sitting on the upper seat, then pointed to Dian Wei who was standing at the entrance of the tent, and said with a smile, "I have Yulang and Awei, Meng De is really setting up an ambush, who can be with him under the tent? Than? What can he do to me?"

That's settled.

From Hexiang to the place where Cao Cao met, the distance is not far, fifty or sixty miles away, if the horse is fast, it can be reached in half a day. Immediately, Xun Zhen wrote back to Cao Cao, agreed to his request, and agreed to meet tomorrow afternoon.

Xun Zhen's reply letter was delivered to Cao Cao that night.

After Cao Cao looked at it, he smiled at Xiahou Dun and the others and said, "I went to book Zhenzhi, and when I asked him to meet, Qing and others thought that Zhenzhi would not respond, so what? Did he respond to my request as I expected? An appointment? Zhenzhi and me, friends, Feiqing, etc. can know." Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
