Hearing the arrangement, Zhang Qiaoqiao got up and began to pack her luggage. She said that it was only a few pieces of clothes, and she retreated in a hurry, so there was no time to take away the rest.

Zhang Liao looked into his eyes and didn't say much, because even if he said it, it was just empty talk.

Early the next morning, Lu Bu and others led his men to Chenliu, leaving behind Cheng Lian and a hundred elite guards to guard his family.

Feeling uneasy all the way, Lu Bu and others finally came to the city of Chenliu, and saw a guard of honor at the gate of the city to welcome them.

Lu Bu was overjoyed and wanted to slap the red rabbit horse and run forward, but his thought was stopped suddenly.

"Feng first go slowly, Rong Wenyuan will go to explore first."

Hearing Zhang Liao's voice, Lu Bulema slowed down and replied, "Okay, then there is Lao Wenyuan."

Zhang Liao got the reply, and galloped towards the city gate on the belly of his horse.

When he came to the city gate, Zhang Liao glanced quickly, then landed on the man in the middle, clasped his fists on the horse's back and saluted, and said, "Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan sees the prefect Zhang."

Seeing that it wasn't Lu Bu, Zhang Miao felt a little displeased, but he still smiled politely and said, "General Zhang, you don't need to be polite, the eunuch has been waiting for you for a long time."

And Lu Bu who was behind saw Zhang Liao chatting with people at the city gate, couldn't bear the agitation in his heart, and galloped to him on the belly of a horse.

Hearing the rapid sound of horseshoes, Zhang Miao looked up and saw a fiery red war horse galloping fast, so he quickly gave up Zhang Liao and went up to meet him.

"Fengxian is finally here, I've been waiting for a long time!..." Zhang Miao smiled and greeted Lu Bu who had stopped his horse.

Ever since he left Chang'an, Lu Bu had never heard such pleasant words, and suddenly his previous majesty reappeared in his mind, he got off his horse, and politely replied:

"Brother Zhongde, you are welcome. Bu is here this time, and he is willing to follow Zhongde to win Yanzhou and achieve great things."

Why Zhang Miao was in a hurry to take Yanzhou, we have to start with Yuan Shao.

It is said that the two have always disliked each other, and when the princes defeated Dong, the two had become intolerable.

So Yuan Shao sent people to notify Cao Cao repeatedly, asking him to get rid of Zhang Miao, otherwise, he would send troops to attack.

Although Cao Cao was threatened by Yuan Shao, he didn't take it seriously, and still regarded Zhang Miao as a friend.

However, his life was always in the hands of others, and Zhang Miao was always uneasy, so under the advice of his subordinates and others, he decided to invite Lu Bu to plan Yanzhou together.

Hearing Lu Bu's words, Zhang Miao quickly said, "Feng Xian is brave and invincible, how can he be inferior to Miao, it is better to divide Yanzhou with Miao."

"Well, it's very good, very good, thank you, Brother Zhong De." Lu Bu was already overwhelmed with joy, and agreed immediately.

Looking into Zhang Miao's eyes, he was also very happy in his heart. He likes people who have no intentions, otherwise he will be careful to guard against someone who is cunning.

Amidst the cheers and laughter, Zhang Miao welcomed Lu Bu and others into the city, and prepared a rich banquet to welcome them.

At the banquet, Lu Bu was anxious to occupy a safe place, so he drank a few glasses and said impatiently:

"Brother Meng Zhuo, Bu has been treated so favorably by his elder brother, but he has nothing to offer, and he is so ashamed that he can't swallow it. Please arrange it as soon as possible so that Bu can make some contributions."

Zhang Miao is also an old fox, how could he not understand the truth, but he had other plans in his heart, so he smiled and said comfortingly:

"Wen Hou came from a long way, why not rest for a few days, and then lead the army to occupy Yanzhou in one fell swoop."

When Lu Bu heard this, his face darkened. He picked up a glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp. Then he sat sullenly and said nothing.

Looking into his eyes, Zhang Miao winked at the person on the lower right, signaling for him to come out and make a speech.

It is said that the man's name was Liu Yi Zixiang. Seeing Zhang Miao looking at him, he stood up unhurriedly, bowed to Zhang Miao and Lu Bu, and then said:

"Wen Hou's words are reasonable, but if the army is dispatched, Xun Yu, who is staying behind Cao Cao, will be suspicious, so why not ask him for some food and grass first, to reassure himself, and then catch him unexpectedly, it will surely get twice the result with half the effort."

"This statement is reasonable, so let Zixiang go to Juancheng, and say that when Wen Hou comes, he just wants some food and grass, and he will withdraw." Zhang Miao rushed to Lu Bu, and agreed quickly, fearing that Lu Bu would object.

Liu Yi saluted, turned around and left the banquet, and went to prepare.

Seeing this, Zhang Miao said to the sullen Lv Bu, "Don't worry, Fengxian. Tomorrow Miao will send people to the counties to say surrender, and the day after tomorrow, we will reorganize an army of [-] and march straight to Jiyin County."

When Lu Bu heard this, although he was eager to win Yanzhou, but now he was under the control of others, so he couldn't say much, so he had no choice but to agree.

……

…………

And as early as when Lu Bu and others entered the city, one rider had already left the city gate and headed for Jiyin County on a galloping horse.

Two days later.

In the prefect's mansion of Juancheng, Jiyin County, Xun Yu frowned, walked back and forth, and suddenly stopped and asked, "This news is too important, are you sure you read it correctly?"

Kneeling down, the man replied, "My lord, I will never be wrong when I see Zhang Miao welcome Lu Bu and others into the city with my own eyes."

"En." Xun Yu reconfirmed that he had a general idea in mind, so he said to the man, "In that case, then go to Dongjun quickly and let General Xiahou Dun lead the troops back to the defense. Go quickly."

"Yes!" The man got the order and hurriedly got up and left.

Xun Yu thought for a while in the house alone, then hurried to the barracks, and ordered the [-] defenders in the city to guard against death. No matter who led the troops, they would all refuse to stay outside the city and wait for his order.

Then he sent people to the Xuzhou battlefield to inform Cao Cao to return to defense, so as not to be attacked by Lu Bu in the rear.

Chapter 296 History Reappears

After everything was arranged, Xun Yu went to Cheng Yu's place, ready to have a good discussion with him.

Cheng Yu was also shocked when he learned that Zhang Miao had welcomed Lv Bu to Chenliu, but he felt much more at ease when he learned of Xun Yu's series of arrangements.

Cheng Yu thought for a while and said, "Wen Ruo's arrangement is very good, but there are two cities in Dongjun that cannot be lost. Otherwise, relying on Juancheng alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it alone."

"Oh, let's hear if Zhong De has a good plan." Hearing this, Xun Yu knew that Cheng Yu had a good plan, so he hurriedly asked.

"There is no good solution, but blocking Lu Bu and other rebels is a good strategy." Cheng Yu was humble at first, and then formally entered the topic and said:

"Dong'a County and Fan County happen to be the two gates of Juan City, so if we send troops to guard here, it will definitely make it difficult for Lu Bu and others to get off for a while, and delay until the Lord returns."

"Well, yes, but now there are very few soldiers and horses, and I'm afraid it's not appropriate to divide the troops." Xun Yu asked with a little worry. After all, this time is of great importance. If there is a slight mistake, Cao Cao may lose his foundation.

Cheng Yu shook his head and retorted: "These two cities must be defended. You don't need many troops, just a few thousand. You just need to be unable to defend them. If Lu Bu gives up attacking the two cities and goes straight to Juancheng, the soldiers and horses in the two cities will all be defeated." If you come out, it will definitely make him difficult to care about."

"Okay, since Zhong De insists, the old man will risk his life to accompany you." Xun Yu replied proudly, then thought for a while and said:

"There are 2000 soldiers in the city now. Zhong De led [-] people to garrison the two cities first. After General Xiahou returns, he will raise [-] soldiers and horses. Do you think it is feasible?"

Cheng Yu thought for a while, and said, "Okay, it's not too late. We should act as soon as possible, so as not to be taken advantage of by the rebels."

"Well, then there is Lao Zhongde." Bing is expensive and fast, and Xun Yu naturally understands this, so he agrees immediately.

Xia Houdun, the prefect of Dongjun, was shocked when he received Xun Yu's order to retreat. Even if Lu Bu, Zhang Miao and others really wanted to annex Yanzhou, they could not retreat without a fight.
