    "Husband, hurry up and eat. This is a meal cooked by me and sister Hoy. Please try it and see if it suits your taste?"

    Cai Yan whispered softly in Wenhan's ear. Wenhan had not seen Cai Yan for nearly a year, and his wife, whom he missed every day, looked particularly beautiful at this time.

    "With you here, Yan'er, simple meals are the best delicacies."

    Wenhan whispered something in Cai Yan's ear, and then started to move his hands.  Zhou Long and Lin saw Wenhan start to eat. After the two couples looked at each other and smiled, they also started eating.

    As for Zhao Yun and Zhou Cang, due to their status, according to etiquette, they should not eat at the same table as Wen Han.  However, under the strong request of Zhou Long and Cai Yan, they no longer pushed back.  Seeing that Zhao Yun was a little restrained, Zhou Yuhan gave Zhao Yun a piece of chicken.  This made the horse tamer stare, saying that this girl Zhou Yuhan was partial.  The horse tamer is Wenhan's nominal grandfather. If calculated in terms of seniority, his seniority is frighteningly high.  Zhou Yuhan is considerate and has always been loved by horse trainers.  When the horse tamer said this, Zhou Yuhan's face suddenly turned red like an attractive apple.  Zhao Yun also blushed and seemed at a loss for a moment, like a little boy who was just in love.

    This made everyone at the dinner table laugh.

    Sometimes a simple meal can soothe a tired, angry, and messy soul.  And a meal with family can make people feel extremely happy.

    At this moment, Wenhan no longer had any negative emotions in his heart. He was enjoying the happy moment in front of him.

    An hour later, after the horse trainer and the three old men Tong Yuan and Zuo Ci had finished their meal, they patted their butts and left. It seemed that these three old men must have been drunk again and went to a restaurant to drink.  As for Zhao Yun and Zhou Yuhan, they both left at some unknown time. They were affectionate and had a good impression of each other. Zhou Long and Wen Han also intended to promote this golden couple and were happy to do so.  As for Cai Yan, Diao Chan and Lin went to take care of Guan Yu.

    So at this time, only Wen Han, Zhou Long, and Zhou Cang were left in the main hall.  Wen Han calmed down and closed his eyes for a while, then asked about the battle situation in Anyi. Zhou Long and Zhou Cang immediately told them one by one about the battle situation in Anyi.

    "Hmph! Lu Fengxian was seriously injured, and there are less than 4,000 remaining soldiers around him. If he really chooses to evacuate from Juan County and Pingyin, he will definitely die!"

    After hearing this, Wenhan smiled coldly and shouted loudly.  Zhou Long and Zhou Cang both looked startled and looked at each other, neither of them understood why Wen Han said this.

    Seeing the doubts on Zhou Long and Zhou Cang's faces, Wenhan explained.

    "Brother, Duke Ding, you know that six days ago, Zhicai and his fourth brother had laid numerous ambushes in Juan County and Pingyin!!"

    "Ah~! If this is the case, Lu Bu is already at the end of his battle, and his subordinates are all defeated soldiers, with no fighting spirit or morale. Once he encounters an ambush from his military advisor and his fourth brother, then!!"

    "It must be a place of death without burial! Hahahaha! The lord and the military advisor are really talented, but Lu Fengxian did not underestimate his own capabilities and dared to attack Hedong, but he didn't know that he brought himself into the place of death!"

    Zhou Cang laughed loudly, as if he had seen Lu Bu being extinguished by thousands of arrows and rolling stones.  Wenhan also narrowed his eyes and gave rise to waves of scalp-numbing sneers.

    But did things really develop as Wenhan expected?

    A few days later, Zhang Liao and a group of remnant soldiers protected Lu Bu, who was seriously injured and still unconscious. They secretly ran all night. They originally wanted to rush to Yanshi, but unexpectedly they were discovered by Hedong soldiers and horses from surrounding counties on the way.  After the magistrates of the three cities and counties exchanged news, they were about to gather troops to entangle Zhang Liao.  Unexpectedly, Zhang Liao separated two troops and used one as bait to lure them away. Then Zhang Liao finally met up with Chen Gong's troops in Changling.

    When Chen Gong saw that the soldiers who came back were all poorly equipped, he knew that the attack on Anyi must have failed.  Chen Gong quickly led his troops down to the city gate to greet him, and was shocked when he saw Lu Bu fainting.  His lord is Lu Fengxian, who is unparalleled in the world. Even in the face of thousands of troops, he can calmly fight his way out of a tight siege.  What kind of unexpected situation did Lu Bu and Zhang Liao encounter in Anyi that caused Lu Bu to be so seriously injured?

    After Chen Gong settled L¨¹ Bu, he quickly called all the doctors in the city to treat him. When Chen Gong heard from these doctors that L¨¹ Bu was fine, he felt relieved and asked Zhang Liao about the situation in Anyi.  Zhang Liao told the story of the battle in Anyi in detail. Chen Gong listened with rapt attention. Later, he felt a little pity when he heard that the conspiracy of the suspected soldiers was defeated.  Zhang Liao's strategy was not wrong, but it was slightly unsound. He did not take into account that those pretending to be ordinary people who had not been on the battlefield could easily reveal their flaws.

    Furthermore, before deciding to attack Hedong, Chen Gong did all the intelligence and knew that the only general available in Anyi City was Guan Yu, and Zhou Long was the key to breaking through Anyi City.  That's why Lu Bu and Zhang Liao were asked to separate two armies and attack at the same time.  But it was unexpected??, Tong Yuan, Zuo Ci, and the horse tamer unexpectedly appeared in Anyi City.  If it weren't for the three of them, Zhang Liao might have succeeded long ago.

    Plans cannot keep up with changes.  Chen Gong sighed helplessly.

    "Hey, we can't stay in the land east of Hedong for long now. Tonight, I will immediately send General Cheng to inform General Song of Yanshi and lead the troops to Changling. By the time the two armies are united together, the Lord's injury should have improved.  We will withdraw from Hedong then. General Zhang, you must be exhausted from fighting and fleeing for many days, so you should calm down and have a good rest for a few days."

    "In this case, everything depends on the military advisor."

    At this time, Zhang Liao's face was horribly pale, his body was crumbling, and he seemed to be completely powerless.  Chen Gong felt sad when he saw it, and at the same time he was moved by Zhang Liao's loyalty to Lu Bu. In these troubled times, there are very few iron-blooded tough men who are so loyal.

    After receiving the order from Chen Gong, Song Xian did not hesitate at all and immediately led 8,000 infantrymen to Changling. He joined forces with Changling's troops five days later.  At this time, the Hedong Army in the area around Yanshi and Changling discovered that Yanshi and Changling had been lost, and quickly reported it to Wenhan in Anyi.  However, when Wenhan received the notification, Wenhan knew that Anyi's army could not catch up. By the time he led his troops to Yanshi and Changling, Lu Bu had already fled.

    "Lu Fengxian was brave and reckless, and would never have thought of such a complete retreat arrangement. There must be an expert around him to give guidance. This expert expected that I would lay a dragnet in Juan County and Pingyin, so I specially sent two troops before coming.  Attack Yanshi and Changling first so that Lu Bu and Zhang Liao can escape safely! Who is this master!

    Wenhan¡¯s eyes were filled with blazing flames, as if the meat in his mouth had flown away, with anger and unwillingness.

    "Third brother, I have heard that Lu Fengxian was surrounded many times by Zhang Ji and Fan Chou's troops a year ago, and Shangluo was almost lost. Later, after Lu Bu became a military adviser, he worshiped a counselor named Chen Gong, and made a series of clever tricks.  , not only solved the siege of Shangluo City, but also used some unknown strategies to defeat Zhang Ji and Fan Chou's troops, wiping out nearly 20,000 soldiers. From this point of view, the master must be Chen Gong.  , This person has great talent and should not be underestimated. "

    "Chen Gong? Chen Gongtai!!!"

    Wenhan slapped his forehead heavily, blaming himself for forgetting about Chen Gong.  Although Wenhan knew that Lu Bu and Chen Gong would meet sooner or later, the historical trajectory at this time had already undergone many changes.  Wenhan also didn't know when Chen Gong would become Lu Bu's military advisor.  In recent years, all of Wenhan's thoughts have been devoted to Bingzhou, and he has no spare energy to take care of Lu Bu.

    "That's all. It seems that Lu Fengxian's order should not be rejected. And with Chen Gongtai by his side, he can't act rashly until Zhicai comes. Brother, you immediately send two troops to notify Zhicai and Si in Juan County and Pingyin.  Brother, tell them that Lu Bu has escaped from Yanshi or Changling, and let them lead the army back to Anyi."

    "My subordinates take orders!"

    Zhou Long stood up and bowed to receive the order, then quickly walked out to make arrangements.  Wenhan's eyes kept narrowing, and he rubbed his sore temples with one hand, hesitating in his heart.  He wanted to take advantage of the victory and lead an army to attack Shangluo, but Bingzhou had just been stabilized for less than a year. After the implementation of the farming, it was not the harvest season yet. This was the critical moment. If other princes took advantage of this to attack Bingzhou, Wenhan would  A year's hard work was all in vain.  However, if we did not take advantage of this moment when Lu Bu was seriously injured and his troops were tired and their morale was low, to attack with an army, and then attack again after Lu Bu recovered from his injuries and his troops regained their morale, it would undoubtedly be very difficult.  Especially at this time, Lu Bu already had a super strategist named Chen Gongtai by his side.

    Wenhan was undecided and could only wait for Xilong to come back before discussing the matter.  After thinking about it, Wenhan calmed down and waited quietly for Xilong's return.

    Time flies, and soon three days have passed again.  As soon as Xilong returned to Anyi, Wenhan had been waiting at the city gate. The moment he saw Xilong, Wenhan's originally worried heart truly stabilized.  Xilong looked at Wenhan for a while, as if he was reading all of Wenhan's thoughts, and then smiled at Wenhan.

    "It seems that my lord, you must have missed me day and night these past few days, almost without food or tea."

    Xilong's joking brought a smile to Wenhan's tense face. Wenhan shook his head helplessly and cast a look at Xilong, indicating that Xilong had something urgent to discuss with him.  Xi Long tightened his expression and followed Wen Han back to the county government hall in Anyi.

    "My lord, it is not appropriate to send troops to attack Lu Bu right now. Even if my lord is really eager for revenge, he will have to wait a few months for the harvest in Bingzhou and everything to be stable before sending out troops to attack."

    Not long after Wenhan sat down, Xilong opened his mouth to admonish him.  Wenhan frowned, Lu Bu touched his back repeatedly, and Wenhan became determined to kill him.

    Xilong also seems to understand Wenhan¡¯s"Thinking," he said again.

    "I hope my lord will focus on the overall situation. My lord has just acquired Bingzhou. Unlike Hedong, which only has one county, Bingzhou has an area eight times that of Hedong. Its management is several times more difficult than that of Hedong. Although Bingzhou currently has Zhangzhou  Hong and Han Song are in charge, but no matter how talented they are, they cannot perfectly handle all the trivial matters of Bingzhou. Fortunately, the wealthy families of Bingzhou have almost moved away, so it is not too difficult for the Lord to stabilize Bingzhou.  It is necessary to recruit a large number of internal affairs talents to assist Zhang Hong and Han Song in managing Bingzhou. Only when the internal affairs are comforted can they send out troops for war.

    "The Lord also needs to pay attention to the giant Yuan Benchu ??in the north.  Yuan Benchu ??has already captured Ji and Qingzhou, and he is afraid that Youzhou will also fall into his hands soon.  By then, Yuan Benchu ??will be in control of the three states and will have huge power. His next step will definitely be to focus on Bing and Yanzhou.  Compared with Yuan Benchu, Lu Bu was just a lost dog with sharp claws, and Yuan Benchu ??was the real man-eating beast.  If my lord does not stabilize the state first, and then really goes to war with Yuan Benchu, I'm afraid"

    What Xilong didn't say was self-evident. Wenhan's expression suddenly became solemn, and he thought about Xilong's words carefully. Later, he thought that Xilong had mentioned Yanzhou, and unconsciously he thought of his best friend.

    "Zhicai, what you mean is that you want me to join forces with Meng De to attack Yuan Benzhu together?!"

    Xilong pondered for a while, then quickly shook his head.

    "My lord, you have misunderstood me."

    "Huh? Do you think that if Meng De and I join forces, we will not be Yuan Benchu's opponent?"

    Xilong¡¯s face was extremely solemn and he shook his head again.
