Jiujiang, Shouchun.

It is under the control of Yangzhou, located north of the Yangtze River, and is the location of later Anhui Province.

Jiujiang is located between the Jianghuai River and Huai River, and is a home of fish and rice. The people are rich and fertile, and the people under their rule are very simple.

However, when Yuan Shu arrived, he fled for bribery and indulged his soldiers to plunder. For a time, the people of Jiujiang counties were in great distress, which also made the originally rich and prosperous land sparsely populated.

In Shouchun City, in Yan Mansion.

After listening to the servants' words, Yan Xiang raised her white eyebrows slightly and said in surprise: "Jia Xu? What are he here to do?"

"Forget it, call him in." Yan Xiang waved his hand and didn't think about it.

Not long after, it is located in the side hall.

Although Jia Xu was over fifty years old, his eyes were cunning and insidious.

"Xu has met Changshi Yan." Jia Xu bowed respectfully and shouted.

"Wow, Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe, everyone calls you a poisonous man. I wonder what advice would you give to me when you are in a humble house today?" Yan Xiang snorted coldly, raised her eyebrows and asked.

"Yan Changshi, don't want to break the evil spirit. Xu's strategy is not as good as Changshi, so how dare you be able to afford the word "two advice" Jia Xu apologized and then changed his words: "But Xu has something to do with your life, Changshi."

"Oh~, let's talk about it!" Yan Xiang smiled curiously.

"Sir, what do you think Cao Cao is like?" Jia Xu asked back.

"Cao Cao?" Yan Xiang said with contempt, and then snorted softly: "After the eunuch, I was so pickled."

"But this person has some courage and ambitions, expelling Lu Bu, pacifying Yuzhou, and greed for Xuzhou, and being called a hero."

Jia Xu smiled cheerfully, "Yes, although Cao Cao was not as old as Yuan Gong, he was ambitious, brave and resourceful, able to know people and use them well, and there were countless good generals under his command.

If Xu guessed correctly, he would definitely send troops to attack our Lord or Duke Yuan to pacify the rear.

If our Lord and Mr. Yuan do nothing, they will be defeated one by one, and they will die without a place to bury them."

Yan Xiang narrowed his eyes. How could he not know about this? But he mentioned to Yuan Shu many times that Yuan Shu was greedy for pleasure and was broken by Cao Cao and did not dare to send troops. This was heartbreaking.

"You are right. Cao Cao's confidant enemy is the noble lord and my lord." Yan Xiang was frank and sighed softly: "I'm not satisfied with you. My lord was scared by Cao Cao and didn't dare to fight with him at all."

"Although you have good intentions, I can't do anything about it. Please come back!"

"Hehe, Changshi Yan, even if Mr. Yuan is timid, can you even be timid?" Jia Xu shouted loudly.

"You...how dares the madman insult me?" Yan Xiang glared at her beard and shouted angrily.

"Before Xu came, my lord boasted that Yan Changshi had great talent. Before he was appointed as Yuan Gong, he must first worship Yan Changshi. This matter can be accomplished. But when he saw him today, he was just a false reputation. Say goodbye!" Jia Xu said sarcastically and wanted to leave after saying that.

"Stop it!" Yan Xiang frowned and hesitated for a long time and said, "What is your opinion? I might as well listen. If this is possible, I will definitely give you advice."

Jia Xu curled a smile of success at the corner of his mouth, turned around and fisted and said, "Chang Shi Gaoyi. My lord said that he would bow down and recognize Mr. Yuan as his lord, and form a meaning of lips and teeth, and fight against the Cao thief."

"Also, at this time, Cao Cao had already led his army north to Luoyang and plundered the emperor to order the princes.

At this time, Xuchang was empty, and our lord now joined forces with Lu Bu and wanted to attack Cao in three directions. The matter was completed. Runan returned to the noble army. I don’t know what this plan is. Can the Chief Secretary persuade Gong Yuan to send troops to attack Cao?"

"Cao Cao went north? Is this matter serious?" Yan Xiang's eyes condensed and she said anxiously.

"Natural." Jia Xu pinched his beard and said frankly, "Xuchang is empty. In this battle, only your army and the army will send 8,000 troops at the end of the month, claiming to be 100,000. Going out of Jiujiang to capture Runan. At that time, the Runan clans will definitely respond one after another and can be easily captured."

"Just that's it?" Yan Xiang raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.

"That's enough, let the rest be left to our Lord." Jia Xu said confidently.

Yan Xiang narrowed his eyes and looked at Jia Xu for a moment, and said loudly: "It's up to me to leave this matter. At the end of the month, my lord will send troops to help you. I hope your army will not want to play with you."

"How dare you?" Jia Xu waved his hand to apologize.

Immediately, the two discussed some details, and Jia Xu left, and he did not even visit Yuan Shu in person.

......

Xuzhou,

In Xiapi City.

On the pavilion, Lu Bu was drinking happily while holding a wine bottle, holding a woman in his arms, feeling so happy.

Seeing Chen Gong coming quickly, Lu Bu laughed and shouted, "Public platform, see what this is."

"Gold? Where does so much gold come from?" Chen Gong frowned and pointed at the boxes of horseshoe gold and asked.

"Hey~, don't be excited at the office. These golds were sent by Zhang Xiu's servant. They were together under Dong Zhuo's tent in the early years. What a pity!" Lu Bu smiled while drinking and looking very proud.

"Zhang Xiu? Why did he send someone to send gold?" Chen Gong became alert in an instant.

"He was worried that Cao Cao would attack him next year, so he wanted to invite me to attack Cao's army while Cao Cao's foothold was not stable." Lu Bu said quite proudly.

"Don't you, Fengxian, are you confused!" Chen Gong blushed and shouted angrily.

Lu Bu was immediately dissatisfied and slapped the wine bottle on the wooden table, leaving nodding.

"Fengxian, who is Cao Cao? This man has advisers and military generals like rain. Have you forgotten the battle in Puyang? And now he is in full control of Yan and Yu. If he offends him, we may be the one who will suffer in the coming year!" Chen Gongyu said earnestly.

"What's more, Xuzhou has just decided to set an end. How to draw troops to attack Cao Cao? Our army should rest and recuperate now, and when will the fighter's opportunity be able to fight."

Chen Gong's face turned red and his ears were equatorial.

"The Gongtai, Xuzhou is adjacent to Cao Cao. Even if we endure it, Cao Cao will never let us ignore it. What's more, Zhang Xiu is the main attack in this battle, so I only need to send a side army to respond to it."

"And Zhang Xiu also promised that after the matter was completed, he would send him 100,000 hu of corn."

Lu Bu said cheerfully.

"What did you say? Zhang Xiu is the main attacker?"

Chen Gong frowned and asked angrily: "Zhang Ji died only three months ago. Why is Zhang Xiu responsible for Cao Cao? It's really a nonsense."

"Public Bureau, please relieve the fire first. I have agreed to the messenger for this matter, it is difficult to change it." Lu Bu stepped forward and pulled Chen Gong over and said with a good voice. He still had to rely on Chen Gong.

"When the time comes, I will send Zhang Liao to lead 8,000 troops, and it will be echoed with it.

If he can win, our army will take advantage of the victory and pursue Liang, Chenliu and other places. If he cannot win, our army will avoid fighting, neither lose anything, nor get a great benefit. Why not do it?"

After listening to Lu Bu's words, Chen Gong frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Well, I will follow what Fengxian said. However, Cao's thief has many advisers. This trip must be done with caution and must not take the enemy's approach."

"Don't worry, Wen Yuan is meticulous and will definitely be fine." Lu Bu said with a generous smile.

"Oh, Fengxian, except for Guangling County, the six counties in Xuzhou, who were surrendered to Yuan Shu, all the counties and counties heard the news. The lord should tell the people to calm the hearts of the people."

Chen Gong recalled the important matter and immediately said.

"Hey~, this is the way to deal with such small matters." Lu Bu was quite impatient when he heard that the government affairs officer was so angry that he waved his hand, and turned to drink and laughed with the beautiful woman in his arms.
