Chapter 320 Division
Two figures were sly on the tent, sitting and lying, and the sound was slowly heard.
Question: "How many people have you put in the city? Are there any of them around me?"
Leng Che replied in his voice: "Not many, except for the few people who sent the letter, no one else was arranged to enter Xia Pi. The news just came, and Hao Meng had already had a rebellion."
Another voice smiled lowly: "It's not only him, but after coming to Xuzhou, the official station also had that meaning. I didn't expect that many loyal brothers... I would turn the other way around."
"Fortunately, you have understood Zhang Yang's letter, otherwise I can't save you even if I am a god. Don't tell me about withdrawing troops. If the military front is with you, you can't help me. This time, I will pay back the matter of letting me go."
"Ha...I received the gift."
"If you insisted on encircling me, then the situation might not be like this now. Will Mr. Wen regret it?"
"Along the way, there are quite a lot of things to regret. Your thing is not worthy of... But I still have to say thank you..."
"If you want to thank you, thank Zhang Yang, if it weren't for his letter..."
"Thanks……"
"Haha..." The sitting figure stood up and laughed, "Wenhou's equestrian skills are superb. If someone else had a different appearance and body, he would definitely die today. Even if I find someone with the same appearance and body shape, people would see the authenticity... Okay, Wenhou has a good rest, and I have other things to deal with."
"Gao Shun...is he still alive?"
"Well, I'm not dead yet, let him see you tomorrow."
...
The voice of words ended here, the curtain of the tent caressed in the wind was rolled up, and a figure in military uniform walked out. It was already dark, and the camp was full of busy soldiers, and the horses were neighing and shouting that since the war had come to an end, there were not many things left. As long as the reception of Xuzhou was completed, we could go back to Xudu.
"Precaution this tent, no one except me is allowed to enter and exit at will." He reminded the soldiers guarding outside the account.
The fact that Lu Bu is not dead cannot be spread. Since reading Zhang Yang's letter that time, Gongsun Zhi knew that this was the best opportunity to pull Lu Bu back to the grassland. After secretly scheming with Li Ru many times, he had this itinerary. However, the biggest surprise he thought of was that he met Cai Zhenji, which indirectly influenced Lu Bu's wife Yan, which created this internal and external attack strategy.
But it is impossible to really conquer Lu Bu. Originally, I had to maintain my expectations, but after seeing the other party just now, I knew that it was impossible to simply make the other party willing to surrender to him. One is the issue of identity, and the other is the pride in my bones...
While walking in the camp, while thinking, a soldier came over: "Report to the Governor, Cao Sikong held a banquet to invite the Governor to come over."
"Ask a banquet at this time..." Someone frowned among the generals around him and whispered: "......Do you realize that Lu Bu is not dead?"
On the other side, Dian Wei glared and shouted, "I'm so afraid. I'll accompany my lord for a while. If Cao Cao really sees something and does something difficult, Lao Dian will slash him with a halberd."
"Don't be suspicious, this banquet should be for the next thing in Xuzhou."
As the night fell, the temperature was a little cold. Gongsun Zhi smiled indifferently with a cloak, waved his hand and patted the giant man on the shoulder, "Cao Cao's position is very different from us. Our family is located in two states in Xuzhou, and we have taken it and cannot manage it. Now that we have fought, Cao Sikong must have thought of this a long time ago, and he must have wanted to compensate in other ways...Okay, let's not let Sikong wait for a long time... and go over and take a look..."
After a brief conversation, a group of people surrounded Gongsun Zhi and left the camp above, followed the newly split army aisle to the Yanjian camp under the high slope. Along the way, the gentle night wind blew across this place. The slender trees were shaking, and the bloody smell came from the wind in the open field. After the news of Lu Bu's death spread in the afternoon, the bodies left behind the siege began to clean up.
In the city, the civilians and soldiers in the barracks who had not participated in the war dug a large pit before the dusk fell and buried the bodies of enemies or former comrades. Otherwise, the smell might be stronger. However, for the group who had walked on the battlefield for countless times, this unpleasant smell made them feel at ease.
Soon after, we arrived at the noisy Cao camp.
The bonfire was burning, and soldiers celebrating victory surrounded the flames and joked. A patrol team with weapons without taking off their armor and holding weapons walked over. Seeing Gongsun Zhi, who was of high status in the coalition, respectfully pushed the sides away and made way.
"Governor Gongsun entered the camp"
A soldier outside the tent shouted loudly, then quickly picked up the curtain. Gongsun Zhi nodded at him and only brought Dian Wei in. Cao Cao had changed into his regular clothes. Seeing Longting walking stairs, he put down his wine cup and smiled and stretched out his hand: "Gongsun is late, but he must be punished for wine."
There was a seat next to him, so Gongsun Zhi walked over and bowed: "I can't compare to Sikong's agility, I'll be there anyway." Dian Wei followed closely, and there were two brothers from the Xiahou family in the tent, Xu Huang, Le Jin, Li Dian and others. After he sat down, he raised his wine and drank it all: "Since I'm late, I'll be punished!"
"Good alcohol tolerance" Cao Cao laughed and shouted loudly.
He also drank a big sip, put down the wine cup, stroked his beard, and smiled unabated: "If Gongsun had not defeated Yuan Shu in his first attempt, the soldiers would quickly strike Xia Pi. I don't know how long this war will take. In terms of merit, Gongsun should be the first."
The tents include Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Cao Chun and others, who are already familiar with Gongsun Zhi. At this moment, when they heard the praises from the clan brothers, they all agreed. There was only one person at the end of the right seat, with eight feet in body, eight eyebrows, and two pupils. It was Xu Huang who had fought with Lu Bu for several rounds. He heard the generals making noise and did not speak out. He was originally a surrendered general from Yang Feng. If he had not fought against Lu Bu today, he would not be qualified to participate in this banquet.
Amid the noises, the two of the highest-ranking people here raised their wine and toasted each other. Gongsun Zhi shook his head: "In terms of credit, it should be the soldiers who fought hard, it is not my only one. However, there is no sword or gun on the battlefield, so that those who should have lived can die..."
The light shone on the face of the speaker. He looked at all the generals present, filled with wine, then raised it, slowly fell down from left to right.
"...... We should use the wine in our hands to sacrifice to the bones under our feet, the heroic spirits who died and the souls, and the generals in the tent, come and drink it all!"
"Drinking!!"
The shouts shook the big tent. Cao Cao laughed: "The dead soldiers are not dead. Now they are below Xuzhou. Unfortunately, Gongsun Jiye is far away in the north. Otherwise, Cao would want to divide half of Xuzhou to you, but you and I know that even if Gongsun got Xuzhou, he would not be able to manage it with peace of mind. Cao would not be pretentious. Gongsun said he wanted any compensation."
"Bingzhou cavalry and Lu Bu's family." Gongsun Zhi stretched out his finger and tapped it on the table, "Don't want any other one."
Cao Cao held the wine and was silent for a moment, then smiled again: "Lu Bu's family is just some women and children. Gongsun is interested and can take it away. But I am also jealous of the elite cavalry in Bingzhou. There are still more than 4,000 cavalry now, so why not half of them each?"
"Since Sikong wants a cavalry with rich combat experience, then half of it each." Gongsun Zhi didn't want to bargain too much on this matter. When it comes to cavalry, he never lacked it. He was able to get some, mainly because it could be used to build a new army skeleton, and it doesn't matter whether it is more or less.
Putting aside the use of Xuzhou, the use of Lu Bu, Gao Shun and two thousand Bingzhou cavalry in this trip was a big profit. If you really want to get it again, there is no longer much spoil to be included in your pocket.
"Since the matter in Xuzhou has fallen, the rest should be to return to Xudu. Sikong, don't forget Zhang Xiu from Wancheng." He swept around and most of them were silent. "Since I went south, I will handle it together. Zi Xiu's revenge will be avenged. The banquet and negotiations are almost done tonight. There are still important things in the army that need to be dealt with. Please use it slowly."
Gongsun Zhi's words were like a scattered person, and they were not too ostentatious. Although he was a guest among the Cao army, his identity was the real governor of the Northern Territory. He was also a high-ranking and powerful person in the world. No one around felt that it was inappropriate.
Cao Cao stood up and raised his hand: "I'll give you it."
Everyone knew that the two had something to say, so they didn't follow. When the two walked out, the tent suddenly became lively and the noise was gone. Cao Cao and Gongsun Zhi walked side by side in the camp, and went out all the way. On the way, neither of them spoke. When they were about to reach the gate, Cao Cao suddenly stood still, "Gongsun..."
When the figure who was on the back of the horse turned his head, he raised his hand: "Don't let him return to the Central Plains again." Wei Feng faintly passed the voice of his speech.
On the other side, the figure nodded and left with a group of guards and galloping horses. Shortly after returning to the rear camp, the convoy led by Qian Zhao finally had a second news. When he saw an unexpected name on the news, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, revealing white teeth.
"Sima Yi..."
