Lu Bu came the fastest, and followed Zhang Liao. Lu Xiaohuan jumped to meet him and showed Lu Bu the ivory arrow ring (finger ring) he had just obtained. In addition to providing food, wine and meat, the Guyang family's salary army also contributed a lot of rare things. Lu Xiaohuan took a fancy to this ivory arrow ring at a glance, and he never put it down after picking it up, so the emperor had to give her a reward.

He originally planned to keep it for himself. The battle is about to happen, so he also wants to try his skills. After following Chen Wangxi to shoot for so many years, his shooting skills are also very outstanding, not inferior to Lu Xiaohuan. However, Lu Xiaohuan likes it, so he can't compete with her, so he has to be more generous.

Lu Xiaohuan is twenty years old this year. He has been practicing martial arts for many years and is agile and heroic. He has inherited the genes of Lu Bu. He is a beauty. The only regret is that he has never been pregnant. The imperial physician in the palace said that this may be related to Lu Xiaohuan's love of riding horses. However, the emperor was not in a hurry. Concubine Fu had given birth to a prince, and several other conceited and had children. He now does not lack children, and he is not inferior to Lu Xiaohuan. What's more, Lu Bu has a great influence in the army. If Lu Xiaohuan really wants to give birth to a prince, there will inevitably be a dispute over the elders and the younger generation in the future.

Of course, the delay in giving birth also made Lu Xiaohuan a little anxious. In order to comfort and compensate Lu Xiaohuan, he also favored her relatively. It was also beneficial for Lu Xiaohuan to not have a child. It had a good figure, good physical strength, and was even more relaxed, unlike many etiquettes like Concubine Fu. He was very happy every time with her.

Seeing the twenty-year-old Lu Xiaohuan sticking to Lu Bu like a child, the emperor showed a doting smile.

Lu Bu quickly walked to the emperor and bowed to salute. Before the emperor could speak, he smelled the strong smell of wine. It seemed that Lu Bu had drunk a lot. He smelled it carefully. In addition to the smell of wine, he seemed to have a powdery smell on his body. Looking at his slightly hasty armor, it seemed that he had just entered the gentle place.

"Wen Hou, although the wine in the Central Plains is good, it can corrupt the bones of heroes."

"Uh..." Lu Bu responded awkwardly and smiled embarrassedly: "The people of Yanzhou are hard to stop their enthusiasm, so they drank a few drinks."

"The people of Yanzhou are enthusiastic because Sun Ce wants to seize their property. They hope that Wen Hou can kill the generals and flags, defeat Sun Ce, and save their homes. If Wen Hou can't do it, they will not be so enthusiastic next time."

"I will follow Your Majesty and defeat Sun Ce."

"Wen Hou is very brave, but his soldiers are in good health. Can he still fight?"

"Of course." Lu Bu patted his chest and said carelessly: "Your Majesty, I don't drink much, so I can go to fight now..."

Liu Ye heard the emperor's voice was wrong, and he quickly coughed and said, "Why, can Wen Hou still see things at night now?" While saying that, he winked at Lu Bu. Then Lu Bu realized and said, "It's natural that it's not possible at this night. Your Majesty, our army is just here, and the terrain is not familiar, so it's not suitable to fight at night. Let's wait until dawn before talking."

Zhang Liao also said: "Your Majesty, Jiangdong soldiers are so strong that they can show off their courage and fight. Night attacks and kicking camps are their favorite way of fighting. I heard from Zhang Fei that Gan Ning had attacked Guan Yu at night in Quanzhou not long ago, burned Guan Yu's baggage camp, and wanted to attack Guan Yu's camp at night. Fortunately, Guan Yu was harsh, so he did not fall into the trap."

The emperor touched his nose and said nothing. Lu Bu and Zhang Liao both opposed night battles, so there was nothing to discuss. He could only follow Liu Ye's advice and rest here for a night to recover his strength.

"Sit down, we will fight nightly today, just a few soldiers under the moon." The emperor waved his hand, and a tiger brought Hu Zuo, each of them sat around the bonfire, and said some gossip first. Not long after, Ma Chao and Zhao Yun came, and greeted the emperor, Lu Bu and others. Dong Yue finally arrived, rushed over, sued, took a Hu Zuo, and sat in the corner.

Seeing that everyone was here, the emperor signaled Liu Ye to express his opinion first. Liu Ye was not humble, so he drew a sketch on the ground on the bonfire, picked up a few pieces of soil, and placed it in different positions, and then clapped his hands.

"Your Majesty, lords, this is the situation in Yanzhou. Dong Zhao was trapped in Changyi. Zhu Huan led Ji Ling, Lu Fan and the Yuzhou soldiers led by Man Chong to attack head-on. Lu Su was the left wing, Xu Kun and Shen You were the right wing. According to the original plan, Gan Ning led the navy into the Yellow River and cut off Dong Zhao's retreat route. This was a method of encirclement. It was just that the great Han Dynasty was blessed and Sun Ce did not let Sun Ce do it. Dong Zhao defeated Ji Ling in Jinxiang Mountain and killed more than 10,000. Although Ji Ling quickly replenished the Yuzhou soldiers, he lost the opportunity to fight. The Yellow River was shallow, and Gan Ning had to withdraw from the Yellow River. There was a gap in the surround. However, you must not be careless. Even without the help of the navy, Lu Su, Xu Kun and Shen You may be able to encircle the two wings and cut off our retreat route."

The generals nodded repeatedly and agreed with Liu Ye's analysis. The emperor's eyes flashed, and he also felt that Liu Ye's worries were reasonable. Shen You and Xu Kun might not be that easy, but Lu Su was completely possible. He not only had infantrymen, but also warships. Once the warships led by Xu Sheng arrived in Puyang, he could still cut off his retreat.

"Weapons are important to unite, not to divide. If we unite, we will be strong, and if we divide, we will be weak. Zhu Huan, Lu Su and others are not in line with each other. They are different from Dingtao and Changyi, and are mainly infantry. This is a good opportunity for our army to defeat each other." Liu Ye pointed to the designated Tao position. "Our army attacked Zhu Huan fiercely. Lu Su may advance eastward along the river, cut off our retreat, or follow the water to east to reinforce Zhu Huan. No matter how he chooses, it will have a journey of nearly a thousand miles, which will take at least ten days. Xu Kun and Shen You are from Qingzhou, and the journey is even longer, and Yuan Tan is also in a yin ravage, which will take half a month at the earliest. The gap between these five and six days is the opportunity for our army."

Liu Ye paused for a moment, and when everyone's eyes were focused on his face, he said word by word: "If you defeat Lu Su, Xu Kun, Shen You, Zhu Huan, the only one who can still count on is Sun Ce himself. If Zhu Huan asks Sun Ce for help now and Sun Ce immediately sends reinforcements, he should be able to arrive in about a month."

Liu Ye turned to the emperor. "Your Majesty, we must first solve the food and fodder for more than a month before we have the opportunity to fight against Sun Ce. Since the Zhongping, Yanzhou has fought for years, and people's livelihood has declined and household registration has been lost. The only way is to use war to support the war and feed the enemy. This requires us to win consecutive battles and not have any mistakes, otherwise we will collapse without fighting. In this regard, defeating the Lusu tribe first and ensuring that the northern part of Yanzhou is not harmed by it is also the key to this battle, and it is not just a plan behind the scenes."

The emperor suddenly realized and felt a little ashamed. It turned out that Liu Ye had arranged such a big game of chess, no wonder he was so cautious. It was really simple to just think about fighting hard. It seemed brave to burn both jade and stone, but in fact he gave up. He had already given up psychologically. He just wanted to have a clear conscience, but he was not as good as Liu Ye. He knew that the situation was not good, but he was still unyielding and did not miss any opportunity.

The emperor looked around and saw that Lu Bu was a little confused, as if he was drunk, and he couldn't hold on anymore. Dong Yue was unsteady and didn't know what he was thinking. When he saw him looking over, he nodded habitually. Ma Chao curled his lips, looking like he had nothing to do with me. Only Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun had a bright eyes, focused eyes, and listened very seriously.

These two people are of great use. The emperor coughed and said, "If you have any doubts or suggestions, you might as well say it directly. Since you are seeking victory in danger, you should be one of the king and the ministers, and work together. I would like to be sincere in your heart in your stomach, and I hope that you will treat me with your heart and defeat Sun Ce together."

"Yes!" The generals bowed and replied, but their spirits were very different.

The emperor looked at Zhao Yun and smiled and said, "Zilong, you have stolen it from the King of Zhongshan after hearing the recommendation of Mr. Wen. The King of Zhongshan values ​​you very much. If it weren't for the noble title and the title of his ancestors, I really wouldn't bear to part with you. I want to hear your opinions, just say it bluntly, don't worry."

Zhao Yun bowed and bowed again. "Your Majesty is wrong, and I am grateful to you. What you said is a strange plan. But Yun has two doubts, and I hope you will make it clear."

Liu Ye has a great impression of Zhao Yun. "Please speak Zilong."

"What I just said just now seems to be using the cavalry's commanders to attack. But as far as we know, Zhu Huan also had six or seven thousand cavalry beside him. Although the number was slightly insufficient, his combat power was not weak. How could they sit and watch us when we attacked the army? Lu Su and others were all mainly infantry and their troops were limited, but only tens of thousands of people. With the baggage plan they carried for a month, even if the grains were not lost, it would only last four or five days for our army. If we couldn't get it together, wouldn't our army have to lose food?"

Liu Ye smiled with his palm. "Your Majesty, Zhao Yun is meticulous and can be a general for thousands of people."

The emperor smiled and nodded. "I think Zilong can be compared with Marquis Wen, governing ten thousand cavalry and being the minions of the court."

Zhao Yun said he didn't dare. Ma Chao's eyes moved slightly, and his expression was a little unhappy. Zhao Yun is now in charge of the Yulin Cavalry like him, and is the General of the Right and Right Army. Emperor, Liu Ye praised Zhao Yun, but did not mention him, which was naturally a response to his previous claim that he would not fight against Sun Ce. If the emperor wins this time, Zhao Yun will be promoted, but he may be neglected and faceless.

Ma Chao coughed lightly: "Your Majesty is wise, and you will make the wise man wise. Marquis Wen and General Zhao are brave. It is indeed rare and good news is expected. However, Chao has a retort and honest advice, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice. If there is any offense, please give up your crime."

The emperor was secretly happy. Among these people, the person who knew Yan Xing's strength was Ma Chao. He and Liu Ye praised Zhao Yun in unison, just to stimulate Ma Chao and learn more about the situation from his mouth. Ma Chao really couldn't hold back and had to speak up.

"Ma Qing said frankly, the person who spoke is not guilty."

Ma Chao glanced at Lu Bu, but Lu Bu was so drunk that he couldn't open his eyes and had no reaction. Instead, Lu Xiaohuan was dissatisfied and glared back fiercely. Ma Chao ignored her and said lightly: "Your Majesty, if I remember it well, when Your Majesty went west, the Yulin Cavalry had only a thousand people, but his military achievements were comparable to the more than three thousand cavalry led by Wen Hou. I did not mention this matter. I am just reminding Your Majesty and Lingjun that the Yulin Cavalry has such combat power, although it is inseparable from Your Majesty's wiseness and wisdom, it is also related to the weapons owned by the Yulin Cavalry. However, Yan Xing and Chen Dao not only had the best weapons, but also the number of armored cavalry. In terms of military strength, they may be inferior, but in terms of combat power..."

Ma Chao looked at the emperor, then looked at Liu Ye, waited quietly for a moment, and said word by word: "I think the outcome is unpredictable."
