Although it was not yet dawn, there were already passers-by on the road in the early morning. I followed the crowd aimlessly. There were also a stall with cold noodles on the side. There were steamers next to the stall selling noodles, and there were small clay pots steamed inside. Inside the cans were fragrant meat patty soup, with small cuttlefish, wolfberry, and the soup was rich and full of meat flavor. I ate it with cold noodles sprayed with sesame oil. The mouth was oily.

The stall owner casually placed a few homemade thick tables and chairs on the side of the road. There were already many people with their stomachs rumbling. In front of the food, I was also a little moved, so I walked to a small stall nearby and wanted to call a bowl.

"It's so comfortable, this jelly can be comparable to Yingshangjiu noodles!" A familiar voice came.

I looked over and saw two people on the left table with me on my back. From the back, Xiang looked like Xu Shu and Liu Ye. Besides Xu Yuanzhi, who would say Ying Shangshao noodles in the south like Yuzhang?

What a good Xu Shu and Liu Ye, as a military advisor and joining the army, he did not think of good plans to fight the enemy, but he was proud and free here. I couldn't help but feel a little hatred in my heart, and even lamented for my sleepless thoughts last night.

I let my steps lightly and approached the two of them quietly. Just as I was about to speak, Liu Ye seemed to have eyes on his back and said leisurely: "The handsome guy is here, sit down together and have a bowl of cold powder!"

I stared at Liu Ye hard, looked at the hot meat pie soup and cold noodles on the table, and finally couldn't resist the temptation. I sat down opposite Xu Shu and stood up with the two of them.

"Three guests, who...?" When my stomach was full of fullness, the stall owner smiled and bowed to report the amount collected on the charge without any chance.

Xu Shu lifted his legs and lifted the scabbard around his waist as if he was not careless. He turned his eyes toward me, but Liu Ye turned a deaf ear and continued to eat. The stall owner moved his buttocks full of oil to Xu Shu, and then looked at me with a bright smile. Faced with such "passion", I had to take out my wallet unwillingly from my arms and become a surrender.

I felt even more annoyed when I had such a disappointing experience. I hurriedly took a few bites, and then returned to my residence with Xu and Liu.

As soon as he entered the tent, Xu Shu grabbed it and said, "I thought about what Chen Deng mentioned yesterday for a night, and finally thought about responding. Before he could finish his stomach, he came to plan with the coach this morning and unexpectedly met Ziyang in front of the stall..."

Liu Ye's face turned red, and Qi Ai said, "I am the same as Brother Yuanzhi!"

When I heard that Xu and Liu were good at fighting against the enemy, I was already very happy, but my face was pissed off and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Zhi, why didn't Ziyang say it earlier?"

There is a vague idea of ​​blaming the two of you for causing me to sleepless all night.

Xu Shu said: "The ancient sage said: The use of strategies is not as good as private, and private is not as good as bonds. It is not as good as bonds without gaps. It is not as good as strange, and it is not as good as strange and unstoppable. Yesterday, the favorite commander summoned everyone to discuss, so he gathered ideas to make good plans for gathering ideas and making good plans. However, if the enemy knows the plans, the things he plans will be defeated, so that everyone will undoubtedly be loyal, so how can they know whether there are unbelieving people behind the officials."

Xu Shu said that the key to using strategies is the secret. Such as sending troops to attack, the fewer people know the better.

Liu Ye continued: "Sun Tzu said: Only by knowing what you know is, you can never be defeated in a hundred battles. Knowing what you know but not knowing what you win or lose. Looking at the land where I occupy, although it covers a thousand miles of land, the north and south are long and narrow and long hanging on the line. If the enemy intercepts the enemy, our army will be in danger of being unable to take into account both the north and the south. In front of Feizhan, Luling will be launched in chaos. How can you not know that there will be future generations watching it?"

I said, "Zi Yang, is Yuan Zhi worried about the grandson of Jiangzuo?"

Xu Shu said: "It is wise to favor the general. I am concerned about the purpose of Sun Ce's attack on the north. First, it is to take a wealthy land on the Huai River, collect its people and plunder its wealth to promote its power, and then attack the east and north to strongly oppress it, and wait for an opportunity to fight with me. Even if we cannot win quickly, it is invincible. Second, it is to attract my attention and lead our army to launch an army to fight the northern expedition. In this way, Yuzhang will inevitably be empty. Sun Ce can hide his troops in the territory and attack him with one blow. At that time, our army cannot take care of the head and tail, and our army will be defeated and the Sun army can win quickly."

Liu Ye also said: "I heard that Sun Ce and Cheng Pu sent 20,000 main force across the river to attack. They seemed to be full of strength, but in fact they were reserved. Sun Ce inherited his father's courage and ruled the three counties of Jiangzuo. His subordinates, Han Dang, Dong Xi, etc., are all brave people, just Chen Yu, Yan Baihu, and Zulang, who are Sun Ce's opponents?"

I took a deep breath, and Sun Ce sent Zhang Hong to the north with the square objects and asked the Yangzhou Governor to gain political advantages; then used strong troops to capture the Jianghuai land, thus forming a situation where Yuzhang was attacked from both sides of the east and north. It seemed that Sun Ce had prepared for the next step of fighting with me. If I had no choice, the ending I was waiting for would be the same as Yuan Shu now.

At first, I also noticed that Sun Ce would not ignore me, and allowed me to use my fists and feet in Yuzhang and hindered his attack on Liu Biao in the west. Now, after listening to Xu Shu and Liu Ye's analysis, I felt a lot of pressure in my heart. The princes fought for hegemony, and they were alive and dead. It seems that it is not easy to survive in this chaotic world.

Seeing my face, my eyes were unstable, Xu Shu said: "Only the current plan is to follow the strategy of fighting far and near to attack, and to form Cao Cao in the north, send troops to the north to the north, and to open up the northern expedition. In the internal way, we should open up the territory by immigrating, accumulate food and grass, provide grace, and strengthen the hearts of the people. This is a perfect solution."

Liu Ye said: "What Yuan Zhi said is very true. Now Cao Cao takes the emperor to Xudu and is ordered to conquer Yuan Shu, Lu Bu and Sun Ce. This is a strong force and cannot face the battle. If we want to do something, we should follow Sun Ce and send someone who is good at speaking to Xudu to plan an alliance in the north. Cao Cao occupied Yan, Yu, Qingzhou and Wancheng Zhang Xiu, which was a big problem. Cao Cao had been planning for a long time, but even Zhang Xiu was defeated. If I could Xu attack Liu Biao in the south and restrain the army in Jingzhou, Cao would respond. What's more, if all the lands in Jiangdong were returned to Sun Ce, Cao would not be happy."

I was overjoyed and said, "Who can do this?"

Liu Ye said: "Based on resume and reputation, it is better to go from Ziyu North to the north."

Xu Shu also said: "It is not advisable to seek survival in troubled times. It is not advisable to blindly extort the enemy in Yangzhou. However, he was too kind and could not protect himself. Since Sun Ce asked for the governor of Yangzhou, he would cooperate with Cao Cao to launch troops to attack Jianghuai in the north and seize Yuan Shu in the south to expand his momentum. Although Shu was armed with hundreds of thousands of armor, he was attacked by Cao Cao and Lu Bu in the north, and Sun Ce also plundered the land in the south. He was also desolate and unruly, and the people complained that the people betrayed their relatives and separated. The day of defeat was not far away. If we attacked, it would be at this time. Unfortunately, our army was tired and the soldiers returned home and drove them into battle, and they were afraid that they would not have the will to fight. Moreover, the military rations in the palace were not enough. Sun Ce from Fanyang East also held troops and looked at them. He rushed to send his entire army across the river to attack Wancheng in a hurry."

At this point, I had already understood Xu Shu's meaning. I smiled and said, "Now Ziyang, Yuan Zhi, discussing the current situation, compared to the hall, capturing the generals in the house, pulling the city between Rongshu, destroying and rushing onto the seats. Su Qin and Zhang Yi were just like this. Since Yuan Shu was defeated, the rest of the people would not go to other places, and they would definitely run west to Lujiang. I can send a capable general and lead an elite army to sail on the Chaohu Lake in the Yangtze River, waiting for an opportunity to attack the people of the arts, so that they can be completely destroyed!"

As soon as I said something, a powerful and familiar figure suddenly flashed through my mind. If this person was a general, there would be no danger.

Xu Shu waved his hand and smiled, "Don't say anything about it, we and the three of us write in our hands, and it looks different."

Liu Ye hurriedly called the guards and taught him to take the pen and inkstone. He first wrote it secretly, and then handed it to Xu Shu. After Xu Shu finished writing, he finally turned it into my hand. I covered my sleeves and waved it. The three of them moved closer to each other and looked at each other, and they all laughed and fell to the ground. It turned out that Xu Shu had a character "gan" in his palm, Liu Ye had two characters "Xingba", and my palm had a character "jin".

Although the words are different, the meaning is clear. Gan Ning is the one who can take on this important task.

I said, "Since the three of us and I see the same thing, there is no doubt that we are lucky to not leak it."

Xu Shu smiled knowingly and said, "This is a major matter of survival and death. We know that there is no reason to leak it. It's just the word "People's Hand". Isn't it that Gan Ning wants to re-create the name of "Jinfan"?"

Xu Shu was meticulous, and I could not hide my thoughts from him. I smiled and said, "Yuan Zhi's wisdom is beyond the reach of the world. It is really a little bit. You can't hide it. Birds of prey are about to attack, flying low and wings, beasts are wide open, and ears are overwhelming, and the saints are moving, and they will be foolish. Yuzhang has many Sun Ce, and Liu Xun's seated and explored, if Xingba vows to fight in the north, then Liu Xun's Sun Ce will be prepared, and this will be unfavorable to the battle. There is a way that the army will never be tired of deceit. If the brocade sails reappear on the river, the boats and oars are traversing the waters of the Yangtze River and Huai River, the enemy will believe in Gan Ning and rebel again."

Xu Shu said: "The years of the year are ripe. Although the south of Yuzhang is in war, the fields are gone. However, the scenery of Fanyang and Shangliao is getting better and better in the sea. In addition, the measures for farming are effective. It is not a problem to support the army with the rich valleys of the three places. At that time, we will send troops to the northern expedition and match Gansu and will surely win."

As Xu Shu judged, although our army is short of food and cannot survive north, as long as we can successfully collect grain and grain in October, after deducting the normal expenditure, it is conservatively estimated that there will be about 200,000 hu of rice. It is no problem to maintain an elite army. The only thing that can be considered is the war in the Jianghuai River and Huai River. If there are too many refugees migrating south, it will inevitably consume precious food. If these people starve to death on the streets, they will lose their hearts.

Liu Ye said: "After this is the plan, Chen Deng is still waiting for news in the inn. You must not neglect the favor of the coach."

In mid-September, Chen Deng left Yuzhang with a satisfied and happy mood. He followed him north, including Hua Xin, who was on the mission to Xu Du and a group of Lingnan artifacts that paid tribute. Hua Xin went this time mainly to try to prevent the court from awarding Sun Ce the title of Yangzhou Governor. In response to Sun Ce's strategy of surrounding Yuzhang, Hua Xin's purpose was to go to the emperor to explain the situation of Yuzhang over the past year, and to report Chen Li's relationship to General Cao Cao of Zhendong, and put forward the intention of our army to participate in the attack on Yuan Shu.

At the end of September, during the white dew season, the mysterious birds returned and the water began to dry up. The shores of Poyang Lake were full of golden yellow and rice fragrance. In order to ensure that major events were not leaked, I did not even summon Liu Ye and Xu Shu. I walked alone in my green shirt, carrying a bag of strong wine in my hand, and went to the lake to see off Gan Ning.

On the beach on the lakeshore, there was no one else, so I sat on the ground with Gan Ning and paid for the wine.

There are cloudless clouds in the sky, and there are reeds and shengs. Not far away, the sails are waving in the wind on the lake surface. Hundreds of athletes stand naked and open their chests, with swords standing across the bow of the boat, and they are majestic. Only those who can treat athletes so well that they will sacrifice their lives and death are sweet and peaceful.

Since Jingnan returned, the relationship between Gan Ning and Taishici has returned to its old form. They are dissatisfied with each other and have been competing for favor. It seems that they are all pretending to be intimate and caring on the day they returned to the army. As a result, Gan Ning was dissatisfied with the reward I gave and believed that I favored Taishici. After many angry comments were ineffective, Gan Ning joined his old subordinates and regained his thief business to make a living on the river. Jinfan's thief ship floated on the river again.

However, all this is an illusion. It was planned in advance by Gan Ning and I, and it was also for those who spy on the information. In fact, from the bottom of my heart, I really regarded the person who lifted the wine bag and poured it into my throat as a friend, brother, and trusted partner.

From Chen to You, the time when the rise is due to the strong wine, Gan Ning is already in a wild and meticulous way. Although I had completely told Gan Ning about the intention the day before yesterday, it was really sad to let Gan Ning leave like this after taking action. Since the first encounter with Gan Ning, fire attacked Gu Zekou, hundreds of cavalry defeated Sun Ben, and thousands of miles to save Luling, these glorious deeds are vivid in my mind.

"People handsome, wait for me to dance the sword to help me enjoy the wine!" Gan Ning pulled out the sword and said loudly.

Although Gan Ning's steps were a little staggering, his skills were still extremely agile under the drunken state. He danced his sword like the wind, and turned into a cloud of cold air. It was more masculine than the singer who specialized in sword dance. I think that Xiang Zhuang Fan Kuai was just like this when facing the sword before the Hongmen Banquet.

In line with the rhythm of the sword, I shouted: "At the young man was fifteen or twenty, he grabbed the Hu horse cavalry on foot. He fought for three thousand miles, and once served as a million divisions with one sword. The Han soldiers were as fast as thunder, and the enemy cavalry collapsed and feared the thorns..."

Gan Ning laughed and said, "I went all over for three thousand miles and once became a million divisions with Yi Jian. Well said!"

...

In October of the second year of Jian'an, Cao Cao joined forces with Lu Bu and Liu Bei, and supervised Xiahou Dun. Yu Jin was the vanguard and fought with Yuan Shu's army at the corner of Shouchun. Xiahou Dun quickly went out to three groups to kill Shu's general Qiao Rui. Yuan Shu's army was defeated. Shu listened to the advice of the Chief Secretary Yang Hong, and divided his troops to retain Li Feng and Liang Gang. Le led his army to defend Shouchun, led his army to collect rare toys, and retreated to Huainan.
