In March, the weather gets warmer and everything revives. The streets and alleys of Ye County are full of people walking around. The whole Ye County seemed to have suddenly come alive. However, there were not many people coming and going outside the general's mansion. Most of the people who come here have a certain status. "The wheel! The wheel!" The wheels turned, and a carriage drove slowly outside the general's mansion. After a while, the carriage stopped, the carriage door curtain was rolled up, and an energetic old man stepped out. He has gray hair on his temples, his hair and beard are neatly trimmed, and he is in good spirits. This person is very neatly dressed and has a very elegant demeanor. This person is none other than Qiao Xuan, who has been living in Ye County since he came to Ye County from Jiangdong. This time when he came to the General¡¯s Mansion, Qiao Xuan came to ¡®remind¡¯ Wang Lei. After arriving in Ye County, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao lived in the General's Mansion for several years. "Xiao Qiao is still a little girl, so it won't have much influence. Da Qiao was different, he was already in his prime years. If Wang Lei didn't give an explanation, Qiao Xuan would really leave Ye County with Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao. Qiao Xuan chose the right time to visit Wang Lei this time. When Wang Lei led his troops to withdraw from Chang'an to Ye County, it was the New Year's Eve. On the one hand, Wang Lei had to deal with military and political affairs; on the other hand, he was also a New Year envoy, so Wang Lei had a lot of things to do. Qiao Xuan didn't want to disturb Wang Lei, so he kept putting it off. So far, Zhang Jaw has led his troops to block Cao Cao's army on the Puyang front line, and the Qinghe Kingdom's front line has also formed a tug-of-war, and the two sides are in a stalemate. The war is at a stalemate, and there will be no major moves for the time being. At this time, Wang Lei rarely has time. Therefore, Qiao Xuan must seize this opportunity and remind Wang Lei to give Da Qiao a status. Qiao Xuan walked to the door, but the soldiers guarding the door did not dare to stop him and allowed Qiao Xuan to enter. Qiao Xuan came straight to the hall, and Wang Lei rushed over immediately. In the hall, the guests and hosts were seated. Wang Lei smiled and said, "Mr. Qiao, how are you doing in the academy?" After Qiao Xuan came to Ye County, he did not become an official, but taught in the academy. Qiao Xuan shook his head gently, sighed again, and said in embarrassment: "I'm having a very bad life, and I'm almost embarrassed to see people. When I see people in the academy, I find it difficult to face them." Wang Lei immediately asked: "What happened? What's going on? Tell me, Mr. Qiao, and I'll help you vent your anger." Qiao Xuandao: "General, you are the one who made me embarrassed." Wang Lei's face changed slightly, and he suddenly felt extremely embarrassed. Unexpectedly, this person was actually him. But he didn¡¯t provoke Qiao Xuan. The two sides were in conflict with each other. Wang Lei looked puzzled and asked: "Mr. Qiao, why have I made you so embarrassed to see people? I've been busy with government affairs." Qiao Xuan said angrily: "General, you know what's going on in the academy? How can the teacher tease me when he sees me?" Wang Lei shook his head with an unknown expression. Qiao Xuan snorted and said angrily: "When the people from the academy saw me, they said, 'Mr. Qiao, your daughter Da Qiao is so beautiful and beautiful, when will she be able to drink the wedding wine?' Listen, what are these words?" Ah!¡± Qiao Xuan became more and more angry and said excitedly: ¡°It¡¯s okay for Da Qiao to live in my house, but this girl has been living in the general¡¯s house. Until now, Da Qiao has no status. It's not clear. This is inappropriate, quite inappropriate. Besides, if Da Qiao is over 16 years old, she will become a eldest girl if she continues. Please take care of Da Qiao's reputation and marry Da Qiao. " After a pause, Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "As long as the general and Da Qiao get married, I won't have to be teased anymore, and I can talk about Da Qiao and the general openly. " Wang Lei smiled sarcastically when he heard this. Wang Lei really didn¡¯t take this matter to heart. He really had too many things to deal with, and he was so busy that he had no time to deal with personal matters. Wang Lei nodded heavily and said: "What Mr. Qiao said makes sense, and I also agree to marry Da Qiao. Mr. Qiao went directly to the backyard to discuss with the old man, and picked an auspicious day, and I will marry Da Qiao." Qiao Xuan was overjoyed and stood up. He said: "The general is busy with business, so I won't interrupt him. I will go to the backyard to discuss it with the old man." In a blink of an eye, Qiao Xuan had disappeared into the hall. Wang Lei shook his head gently and went back to the study. It is now March, and this period is a great time for farming, so we cannot delay the cultivation of food. Moreover, Cao Cao's army is still stationed on the front line of Yanzhou and Qingzhou, threatening Jizhou at all times. Wang Lei has to do a good job in spring plowing, but also ensure that the war is not affected. The balance between this must be grasped. Processing the documents brought up, before noon, Qiao Xuan and the old manThey came hand in hand, and set the time for marrying Da Qiao to June 16, and officially served wine to marry Da Qiao. Wang Lei agreed directly and set a time for the wedding. It¡¯s only March now, and there¡¯s still some time before we get married. When it was time for lunch, Wang Lei returned to the backyard and suddenly found that Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao had left. After questioning, Wang Lei learned that Qiao Xuan took the two girls away under the pretext that he wanted to teach them. ¡ ¡ Yanzhou, Dongjun. Cao Cao¡¯s army camp was stationed here, and Cao Cao also stayed in Dongjun. In the main tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhicai and Xun You with a worried look on his face, and said worriedly: "Military advisor, Gongda, since the battle last year, we have been fighting fiercely with Zhang Jaw for several months, and we have been unable to capture it for a long time. The morale of the army has been affected to a certain extent. Previously, the idea was to make a breakthrough from Qinghe State, but Tian Yu, the Prime Minister of Qinghe State, also had a good defense, which made it difficult for us to achieve a breakthrough. Wei Jun's open jaws echoed each other, which put a certain amount of pressure on us. I only had Qingzhou and Yanzhou under my command. Even if we vigorously promoted farming and even adopted official villages, we still couldn't compete with Wang Lei in a war of attrition, and we were defeated in the end. We absolutely can't go on like this." Xi Zhicai analyzed: "My lord's analysis is reasonable. Wang Lei not only has the strength, but now he has control over the little emperor and holds the emperor as his lord. It can be said that now he has great righteousness. Wang Lei is quite powerful. With our strength, it is difficult to defeat Wang Lei." Xun You said, "Now, we have to re-plan our strategy." Fengxiao, the strategy we considered before was to unite with Li Ru, but what we didn't expect was that Wang Lei quietly bribed the people around Dong Huang, and with the help of Dong Lian, Li Ru was defeated and Wang Lei captured Chang'an and Bingzhou. The north is connected. At this time, if we can't hit Wang Lei again, we can only lose." At this point, Cao Cao clenched his fists and said solemnly: "Since my debut, I, Cao Cao, have been defeated several times, but every time. Once, I got up and fought again. The fear of defeat is not that I dare not fight again. I am still alive, so I can fight to the end. Please two gentlemen. Help me to defeat Wang Lei." High-spirited fighting spirit burst out. Infinite self-confidence radiated from Cao Cao. This confidence infected Xi Zhicai and Xun You, and there was a hint of fighting spirit not to admit defeat on their anxious cheeks. Why are they loyal to Cao Cao? It was this spirit of Cao Cao that made them loyal to him without hesitation. Xun You squinted his eyes and said slowly: "To seriously injure Wang Lei, our strength alone is not enough. I still think that the previous strategy of joining forces with Li Ru was correct, but it is a pity that God did not fulfill his wishes. This time, I still think I think that we must unite the other princes. Today's Wang Lei is like the powerful Qin in the Warring States Period, and the princes such as Liu Bei and Sun Ce are all princes in the world. The only way to contain Wang Lei is to unite the princes. , to attack Wang Lei. " Xi Zhicai said: "Sun Ce established the foundation and completely separated Jiangdong, and even competed with Liu Biao. In addition, Sun Ce is also very powerful and can join forces personally. Go to Jiangdong and join forces with Sun Ce." Cao Cao thought about it and said, "Thanks for your hard work." Cao Cao paused and said, "Xu Ding is here!" Xu Ding strode in with fists in his hands. salute. Cao Cao ordered: "The military advisor is about to go to Jiangdong. You will lead a hundred tiger and leopard cavalry to escort the military advisor south. Remember, no matter what happens, the military advisor's safety is the top priority." "Promise!" Xu Ding nodded and turned around. Mobilize soldiers. Xi Zhicai continued: "My lord, in addition to Jiangdong, there is also Tao Qian from Xuzhou. Before, we kept putting pressure on Xuzhou to use troops, but at this juncture, we can't have any thoughts about him for the time being. We must unite with Tao Qian. In addition, There is also Liu Bei in Yuzhou, who is also someone to unite with." Cao Cao said, "Don't worry, military advisor, I will send someone to contact Tao Qian, Liu Bei and others." Xun You rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "My Lord, I have missed a key. "Where?" Cao Cao asked. Xun You replied: "The princes are fighting for the Central Plains, and their goal is the Central Plains, but they have forgotten the place where Emperor Liu Bang started - Hanzhong. This area is connected to Xiliang and close to Guanzhong. It is a very important place. Hanzhong Zhang Lu soldiers There is plenty of food and grass. If he is willing to send troops, it will be of great help to us." As he spoke, Xun You stood up and walked to the map.He drew a few strokes and said slowly: "Wang Lei's territory starts from Bohai County in the east and extends all the way to Xiliang in the west. The battle line is very long. Wang Lei occupies a large area and has sufficient soldiers. This is an advantage, but the battle line Lengthening also has great weaknesses, which will weaken the troops. If we unite the various princes and open up multiple fronts, we will definitely weaken Wang Lei." Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he praised: "Gongda's analysis is very good, I agree. " Xu Chu!" Cao Cao could not refuse Xun You's request, so he could only choose the people to accompany Xun You. Xu Chu strode in and saluted with clasped fists. Cao Cao ordered: "Xu Chu, Mr. Xun is going to Hanzhong. You take a hundred tigers and leopards to protect him." After leaving, there are many strong generals around me. Li Dian, Yu Jin and others are all good people. Just go, sir. I will be waiting for the good news from you in Dongjun." Xun You felt moved and had to agree. Xu Chu went to mobilize the soldiers. Cao Cao, Xun You and Xi Zhicai discussed it some more, and then Xi Zhicai and Xun You got up and left.
