Arriving at the door of the house, Wu Liang had already finished conveying his thoughts to Cao Chen.

When Cao Zhen saw Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, he asked accordingly: "Uncle Wen Ruo, now my uncle's family has gone to Juancheng for temporary refuge. With Uncle Wen Ruo and Magistrate Cheng stationed here, there is no need to worry. It's just that I wonder how the battle is going on the front line, uncle, is everything going well?"

“Naturally it goes smoothly!”

Hearing this question, Xun Yu immediately became energetic and said in a high-spirited voice, "The emperor has captured Tancheng half a month ago. Tao Qian led the remaining troops to retreat to Ling County. The emperor took advantage of the victory to pursue him. Now he has taken down Donghai and Langxie. Until now, most of Xuzhou has fallen into the hands of the envoy. Now the envoy is about to return his army and push southward. If he can capture Pi and Guangling before the weather freezes, Xuzhou will all fall into the hands of the envoy. In your hands."

I'm afraid...that's the end of it.

After hearing Xun Yu's description, Wu Liang had already made a rough judgment.

Langye in the north is connected to Qingzhou. Although Tian Kai and Liu Bei, the governor of Qingzhou, failed to rescue Tao Qian, they still have a lot of troops stationed here. They must defend it to the death. In addition, there are also Kong Rong and Tian Kai from Beihai. Liu Bei's lips are dying and his teeth are cold. We must send troops to help, and this battle will definitely not be finished in a short time.

What's more, even if they can fight, Yuan Shao from the north is still watching eagerly from the sidelines, and he will definitely not sit back and watch Boss Cao easily take Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou into his own pocket.

Boss Cao and Xi Zhicai, the counselor who accompanied the army, must have known this, so they returned to the south after capturing Langxie.

But Xiapi and Guangling may not go well, especially Guangling County.

It should be noted that the governor of Guangling County at this time was Zhang Miao's younger brother Zhang Chao. Historically, he was also one of the key figures who welcomed Lu Bu into Yan and rebelled against Cao Cao.

At this time, Zhang Miao's rebellion was a foregone conclusion, and it should be very soon, so Zhang Chao would not only not open the city gate to welcome Boss Cao, but would also brazenly send troops to delay Boss Cao's return to the rescue while Zhang Miao was rebelling.

As for Tao Qian.

According to historical records, after this guy was defeated by Boss Cao, his first idea was to escape south and return to his hometown in Danyang.

But this is no longer important. Even if Boss Cao can't kill him this time, he will die of illness in less than a year at most.

"It went so well? My uncle is really brave and brave!"

Cao Chen said excitedly.

Then I heard Wu Liang behind him suddenly ask an irrelevant question: "The envoy did not massacre the city during his expedition to Xuzhou, right?"

"Why did the envoy want to massacre the city?"

Xun Yu looked over in confusion, frowned and asked, "Your Majesty is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. Not only did he not burn or kill people when he conquered the city recently, he also once gave porridge to the poor people in the city. Therefore, when he attacked Xuzhou, every city he visited was full of people." The people came out of the city to greet the envoy. Sometimes when the city guards heard that the envoy was coming, they even opened the gates and surrendered the city. They were willing to be used by the envoy. The envoy's reputation was unparalleled for a while, so how could they do such a great thing that risks the disapproval of the world? ?”

Is this the main reason why Cao Cao was able to capture Donghai and Langxie in such a short period of time?

My boss Cao is amazing.

There is a way to play with money, and there is a way to play without money.

It should be noted that the attack on Xuzhou failed this time in history, and we will send troops again next summer.

I don't know whether it was because he was angry that his father's revenge had not been avenged many times, or because he was afraid of being short of food and salary, so he ordered his subordinates to kill and plunder all the way, "all the chickens and dogs were gone, and no one left the ruins".

It is said that in Pengcheng alone, Cao's army drove tens of thousands of people into the Sishui River and drowned them alive. Their corpses blocked the river, preventing the river from flowing.

But this time, having obtained the gold from the tomb of King Liang Xiao in advance, Boss Cao's crusade against Tao Qian was obviously much smoother.

Not only do I feel happy, but I also have no worries about food and salary.

Unexpectedly, he would use such a tactic of "attacking the heart with gentleness", subduing the enemy's troops without fighting, and gaining both fame and land?

Emmm…

Wu Liang suddenly felt that he was indeed indispensable. If he had not arrived here in time and helped Boss Cao steal the tomb of King Liang Xiao, the people of Xuzhou might not have been able to escape the fate of a river of blood next summer.

Quietly give yourself a thumbs up and be a quiet unknown savior.

When the matter is over, he brushes off his clothes and goes away, hiding his merit and fame.

This feels pretty good!

With this thought in his mind, Wu Liang smiled and said without conscience: "What Xun Sima said is true. Your Majesty has always been kind-hearted, and our army is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. How could you do such a cruel thing? I'm talking nonsense."

Already."

Xun Yu finally stopped mentioning the matter, and frowned and looked at Cao Chen: "It's just that Chen Liu... Anmin, you said that Chen Liu was afraid of something bad happening, so you ordered your personal guards to escort the Jun family members to Juancheng at night.

, where did you hear this rumor?”

"this……"

Cao Zhen glanced at Wu Liang subconsciously.

"I said."

Wu Liang took the words and said, now it's time to grab the credit, who else should I do?

"Then Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, is a close friend of the envoy. Even if he secretly meets with Lu Bu, we can't conclude that he has the intention to rebel. Maybe he is just trying to win over Lu Bu for the envoy. How can you dare to say so?"

Xun Yu asked.

"As I said just now, my ancestors are descended from the same line of ji children, and they cannot get up from ji children on weekdays..."

Wu Liang decisively used this all-purpose excuse again.

But seeing that Cao Zhen, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu all had expressions of "Okay, okay, we already know, you don't need to say anything anymore", they simply skipped the next words, paused and said directly: "This time

Before leaving Chenliu, I got up inexplicably and had a premonition of this, so I gave advance warning."

"How sure are you?"

Through Cheng Yu's incident, Xun Yu also had some trust in Wu Liang's "Qi Ji" ability at this moment, but it was related to important military matters and he did not dare to use it as a basis.

"Ten percent."

Wu Liang simply patted his chest and laughed, then added, "No matter whether Xun Sima and County Magistrate Cheng are convinced or not, it is always right to take precautions before things happen."

"To be honest, our army has brought back a batch of gold this time. Although it is not too much, it should be enough for Xun Sima to strengthen the city defense and recruit soldiers and horses in the shortest possible time, so that he can be fully prepared."

"If Zhang Miao really rebels, Xun Sima can advance, retreat, or defend. He will not fall into a passive situation and end up unable to defend his home."

"If Zhang Miao had not rebelled and the envoy returned in triumph, Xun Sima would hand over the soldiers and horses he had recruited to the envoy. This would not be regarded as misappropriation of military pay. Not only would it be a fault, but it would be meritorious."

"Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

According to Wu Liangzhong's plan, his mission has come to an end.

As long as Boss Cao knows that it was him who gave the warning in advance, it is already a great achievement and no one can steal this limelight.

As for dangerous matters such as recruiting troops and fighting the enemy, he will never participate in it, and he will never even offer suggestions.

After all, if you lose, you will not only be blamed by Boss Cao, but you may also be killed by the enemy;

After winning the battle, if Boss Cao thinks that he has the talent of a general and insists on taking him to fight in the north and south, then his leisurely and comfortable life of tomb robbing will be completely ruined.

After saying that, Wu Liang looked at Cheng Yu again and said with a smile: "Moreover... Magistrate Cheng had just made up for the missed days, and these things happened one after another. This is not a signal, and the opportunity cannot be missed."
