Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao assassinated Dong, and I was abandoned

Only Cheng Lian and Guo Yan are left as generals, how can we fight this battle?

"Gongtai, how many soldiers and horses do we have?" Lu Bu asked coldly.

Chen Gong's expression changed in surprise, and he hurriedly asked, "Marquis Wen, what are you going to do?"

"Let's attack Jizhou!"

"No!" Jia Kui and Chen Gong urged hurriedly.

"How can we not report the shame and humiliation!"

Lu Bu no longer listened to the dissuasion of the two military advisers, and roared: "Cheng Lian, go and count the [-] troops, stationed in Shangdang County, and follow my orders at any time."

Cheng Lian looked at Chen Gong and Jia Kui in embarrassment, Chen Gong nodded at him, Cheng Lian had no choice but to go to the barracks to order soldiers.

Lu Bu was in a fit of anger, Chen Gong knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he could only let Lu Bu's temper go, and make other plans after he calmed down.

It will take time to count the [-] troops. After all, they have less than [-] troops left. The defense of Taiyuan County still needs a large army to garrison, otherwise it will be embarrassing if someone steals the house.

Lu Bu gradually regained his composure, but Chen Gong and Jia Kui looked at each other, got up and left.

"Gongtai, Liang Dao, don't you guys give me some advice?" Lu Bu glared at the backs of the two of them angrily.

Chen Gong stopped in his tracks and said helplessly: "Our army only has [-] people. This Taiyuan County is extremely important to our army. I am afraid that after Wen Hou leads the army to leave, Taiyuan will be attacked by surprise and our family will fall into the trap." In the hands of the enemy, I'd better throw it elsewhere."

Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong in disbelief and asked, "Gongtai, are you going to abandon me?"

"Marquis Wen has repeatedly refused to listen to my advice. I feel helpless. I should find a lord who can listen to my advice."

Chen Gong walked straight out of the hall and let Lu Bu shout without stopping.

Lu Bu's face was livid with anger, if Chen Gong left him, then he would really be a loner now.

Guo Yan hastily persuaded: "Master, Chen Junshi and Jia Junshi are great talents in the world. If we let them leave, our army will lose its arms. I'm afraid we won't be able to gain a foothold in Bingzhou."

"you……"

Lu Bu looked at Guo Yan angrily, but he didn't expect him to be on his side either.

"The lord should find the two military advisers as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late for regret."

After Guo Yan finished speaking, he also left the hall. Now Lu Bu needs to calm down.

Lv Bu returned to the backyard angrily. Seeing Lv Bu's face was extremely ugly, Yan asked, "Husband, why is this so?"

Since Lu Lingqi left, the number of times Lu Bu came to her place can be counted on two hands.

"Hey!"

Lu Bu sighed!

He grabbed a jar of wine and drank it straight away.

Chapter 253 There are a hundred new houses built in the backyard, but there are no vacancies?

"Husband, I have something to discuss with you!"

Zhuge Liang's elder sister, Zhuge Qian, came to Cao Shuo with a smile on her face, knelt down in front of Cao Shuo and poured him a glass of water.

"What is it?" Cao Shuo looked at her suspiciously.

Zhuge Qian said cautiously: "Little sister Zhuge Lan came to Jizhou, and according to my father's wishes, I want my younger sister to marry my husband."

Cao Shuo said depressedly: "This is a good thing, kissing and kissing, why do you look sad? Are you too ugly?"

Cao Shuo hugged her into his lap and stroked her face.

Zhuge Qian laughed and said, "How can I be ugly? Husband despises my ugliness?"

"Then what are you worried about?"

"Husband, there is no place in the backyard!"

"What?" Cao Shuo looked horrified, didn't he just build a hundred rooms?Why is there no place so soon?I haven't recruited new people recently.

Zhuge Qian explained: "Sister Lu Wen recruited nearly [-] female guards for the safety of the backyard. The newly built houses in the backyard are already full of people."

Cao Shuo was extremely embarrassed, was it worth having so many female guards?Including the original number, there may be 500 people.

"Jizhou is just our temporary residence. You can make it up for a while and let her live with you, which happens to be a good exchange of experience."

"Exchange experience? Exchange what?" Zhuge Qian looked at Cao Shuo suspiciously.

Cao Shuo asked, "Where is the man?"

"In my room!"

Then let's go and have a look, it just so happens that it's not too early today.

Cao Shuo dragged Zhuge Qian to the door and saw Wang Ling patrolling the front yard, so he called him over and told him, "Yan Yun, go and inform Zhicai to take our captives Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Yue , Gongsun Fan, Gongsun Xu, Zhang Liao, Zhang Yang, Hao Meng, Pang De, Wei Yue and others gathered together and obeyed the arrangement at any time."

"promise!"

Just as Cao Shuo entered the backyard, suddenly a guard ran over.

"Report, report to my lord, Guan Yu asks to see you!"

Cao Shuo was speechless, what is there to see at this time, isn't it just to let him wait a few days in Xindu, what can he do if he returns a few days later, Liu Bei can't die in Jingzhou for the time being, is there any battle to fight in Jingzhou.

"Let him meet me in my study at noon tomorrow!"

"promise!"

When Cao Shuo came to Zhugeqian's residence, he saw a beautiful girl who looked somewhat similar to her, sitting by the bed and looking around nervously.

When she saw Cao Shuo coming in, she stood up in a panic, lowered her head shyly, and said softly, "My concubine, Zhuge Lan, has seen Marquis Wei!"

"Well, you don't have to be polite, Xiaolan, sit down and talk!"

Cao Shuo was also polite, took Zhuge Lan's slender and boneless hand, and sat down on the couch.

Zhuge Qian went to the kitchen to ask the servants to prepare meals for the two of them, and there were only the two of them left here. Zhuge Lan nervously looked at the table in front of him, not daring to look up at Cao Shuo.

Cao Shuo held her hand and asked softly, "How is your father-in-law in Taishan County recently?"

"Father is very busy every day, and there are many affairs in the county."

Cao Shuo asked again: "I heard that you have an uncle named Zhuge Xuan, where is he now?"

Zhuge Lan thought for a while and said, "Second uncle is in Jingzhou, and he is currently Liu Biao's guest."

"Hey, what a pity!"

Cao Shuo sighed, such a great virtuous person has taken advantage of Liu Biao.

"My second uncle didn't know that my father had become the magistrate of Taishan County, and wrote to him many times, asking him to take refuge in Jingzhou."

"Huh?" Cao Shuo's expression darkened.

Zhuge Lan felt that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly said: "The concubine has nothing to hide, I hope my husband will forgive me."

"Excuse me, I didn't blame you!"

Cao Shuo felt that this was not a small problem, and he must put some pressure on Zhuge Gui to help him recruit Zhuge Xuan.

It's only for me to poach other people's corners, so there's no reason for others to poach their own corners.

"Xiao Lan, does your uncle have any children?"

"Second uncle, he got married relatively late. He had a son four years ago, but unfortunately he died young. Recently, he heard that he had another daughter. He wrote to his father, asking him to come to Jingzhou as a guest!"

"Xiao Lan, have you ever been to Jingzhou?"

"I went there once two years ago."

Zhuge Lan looked puzzled, not knowing what Cao Shuo meant by asking this.

"Do you think Jizhou is better now, or Jingzhou back then?"

Zhuge Lan wondered: "This..."

Cao Shuo patted her hand and encouraged, "Say it straight, we are all family now."

"Jingzhou has fertile land, a large population, and is less affected by the war in the Central Plains. Therefore, it is a place that many talented hermits yearn for. However, although I have been in Jizhou for less than two days, I can feel that the people here are happier than those in Jingzhou. .”

Zhuge Lan is not flattering, but sincerely speaking, Jizhou may not be the safest state in the Han Dynasty, but the living standard of the people here is definitely comparable to that of the other twelve states in the Han Dynasty. Luoyang, the former imperial capital, is even worse. Not the current Chang'an.

"For your words, I will reward you with some drinks tonight!"

"What to drink?" Zhuge Lan looked at Cao Shuo suspiciously.

"Cough cough!"

At this moment, Zhuge Qian walked in and gave Cao Shuo a reproachful look. You have just entered the door and before you figured out the way, you started to instill evil thoughts in her.

"Husband, little sister, it's time to eat. A spring night is worth a thousand dollars. Don't waste this hard-won good time."

Chapter 254 Conditions for Leaving Jizhou

"Husband, you can't eat a lot of salt recently, why is it so salty?"

"Sister, can this be eaten?"

One night, the two girls drank no less than two bowls of chicken soup. In the early morning of the next day, before Zhuge Lan woke up, Cao Shuo called him up.

"Xiao Lan, I still have something to do today, get up quickly!"

"Sister, do all the newcomers in the backyard work so hard?"

Zhuge Lan looked at Zhuge Qian with a tired face, Zhuge Qian pretended to sleep with her head covered as if she didn't hear.

Seeing Zhuge Qian ignoring her, Zhuge Lan looked at Cao Shuo for help, "Husband, why do you want me to wake up so early?"

Cao Shuo patted her buttocks and said, "There are two days left before Dong Zhuo proclaims himself emperor. We have to rush to Luoyang. If you don't want to follow, then you can continue to sleep."

"Ah, go to Luoyang?" Zhuge Qian sat up in embarrassment.

At noon, the council hall of the state capital was full of people.

Xun Yu, Xun You, Ju Shou, Xi Zhicai, Shen Pei, Xun Chen, Zhuge Jin, and Sima Yi are eight advisers, big and small.

Ju Yi, Xu Rong, Wang Ling, Han Hao, Wang Chen, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Guan Yu are eight generals.

Cao Shuo looked at Guan Yu who was standing aside, and asked, "Is Yun Chang satisfied with my Jizhou?"

Guan Yu looked puzzled, these days Cao Shuo sent people to offer good wine and meat, and he wanted to see Cao Shuo again and again, but he just didn't see him.

Guan Yu also knew that Cao Shuo wanted to keep him in Jizhou, but his loyalty to Liu Bei was unquestionable. As long as Liu Bei was still alive, as long as he was not dead, he would not be able to serve others.

"Wei Hou, my elder brother Liu Bei is still waiting for me to go back in Jingzhou. I am very grateful to Wei Hou for helping me out of the siege, and even more grateful for Wei Hou's concern for me, but..."

Before Guan Yu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cao Shuo.

"Yun Chang misunderstood. There have been a lot of things recently, and I have taken care of Yun Chang flawlessly. I also know Yun Chang is loyal, so I escorted General Huang's family and let Yun Chang take charge. Yun Chang has done a very good job."

Cao Shuo paused, then continued: "If I keep Yun Chang, you will definitely be in a dilemma, how about this, my army is going to Luoyang, and it will be easy for you to open a road to Nanyang, but you need to do it for me. one thing."

"What's the matter?" Guan Yu looked at Cao Shuo eagerly.

As long as he can go back, he can agree to ten things.

"My army is going to Luoyang, fearing that Yuan Shao will attack Bohai and Jibei. If Yun Chang can help me remove the head of General Yuan Shao Wen Chou, I will send you to Luoyang, and then let you return to Nanyang County, how about it?"

After Yan Liang was captured by him, he has been imprisoned in the dungeon in Taishan County. Yuan Shao has no extra money and food to redeem him and Xu You.

"This..." Guan Yu looked puzzled.

He didn't know Wen Chou, and he didn't know his martial arts skills. If Cao Shuo didn't give soldiers and horses, and let himself lead his more than 1000 old subordinates, he might not be able to succeed.

"If Yun Chang has any difficulties, just tell me."

Guan Yu explained: "Wei Hou, Yuan Shao's troops are not small, and I, a thousand veteran subordinates, may not be able to help Wei Hou complete the task."

"That's not a problem. I'll give you [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, and Hua Xiong, the guard of Bohai County, and Zhang He, the guard of Jibei Kingdom, will help you."

"I don't know how literary and ugly martial arts are?"

This is what Guan Yu is most concerned about. It is definitely not an ordinary person who can make Cao Shuo kill someone with a knife.

Zhao Yun had defeated Wen Chou before. At that time, Zhao Yun had just debuted, and his martial arts had not yet reached the point of perfection.

If the current Guan Yu is made to be ugly to the above, the result may be seen within fifty strokes.

As for the second...he would never borrow the red rabbit horse.
