Zhang Lang sneered and said: "Play this kind of trick with me..." Jia Xu said: "So our army doesn't have to take action." Zhang Lang nodded.

…

Cao Pi led the army and marched slowly towards Xuchang. Suddenly a herald came galloping up, ran to Cao Pi's side, reined in his horse, clasped his fists and said, "Your lord, the envoy to Xianbei has returned a letter." He then untied it and put it on his back. He poured out a wooden stick sealed with clay from a large bamboo tube and presented it to Cao Pi. Cao Pi took the wooden stick, pinched off the sealing mud, opened it, read it over, and frowned. He turned to Sima Yi beside him and said, "Xianbei Something happened over there..."

Sima Yi asked calmly: "Are Kebineng and Bu Dugen suspicious of each other again or even fighting..."

Cao Pi showed surprise, "How did you guess that, sir?"

Sima Yi smiled and said: "This has been expected for a long time."

Cao Pi asked in confusion: "What do you mean, sir?"

Sima Yi squinted his eyes and looked ahead, and said: "Jia Xu and others around Lu Bu are all people with deep knowledge as the sea. How could they not guess our intention to take advantage of the Xianbei people?..."

Cao Pi frowned, "If that's the case, why did you ask me to do this before?"

Sima Yi said: "Because we need these things to cover up our real trump card..." Looking at Cao Pi, "Not only the Xianbei people, but also Sun Jian, Lu Bu has obviously expected it. Huang Zhong and Ma Chao's two cavalry regiments have been greatly expanded." He won, but why didn't he launch a fierce attack on Yuzhou? Obviously Lu Bu regarded these two legions as strategic reserves, firstly to provide support to Xuchang, and secondly, and the most important intention, to guard against Sun Jian in the south... Humph, Sun Jian was just playing Those little tricks can't be hidden from Lu Bu's advisers..."

Cao Pi frowned and thought: "So, sir, you are using these things to cover up the actions of our navy?"

Sima Yi nodded.

Cao Pi frowned and said, "Sir, you just said that Lu Bu's men are uniquely resourceful. Don't they see your trump card?"

Sima Yi said: "Our navy has been training at sea and has never participated in any major wars. It did not even participate in the previous war against the Xianbei people, so Lu Bu may not be aware of it. But this is not necessarily the case. They may think that in this matter, we are gambling... In any war, no matter how resourceful a person is, it is impossible to predict everything, unless he is not a human being... Therefore, we have a chance. Just in case , that’s why I suggested appointing Zhang Jiao as a general. Zhang He is cautious, and will withdraw his troops immediately if something goes wrong..."

Cao Pi nodded, glanced at Sima Yi, and said with some emotion: "It's only now that I fully understand your master's plan..."

Sima Yi quickly clasped his fists and said, "I did not show my gaze to my lord, so please forgive me."

Cao Pi laughed and patted Sima Yi on the shoulder, "Sir, why did you say this? I'm lucky that you can think about it so carefully..." Sima Yi said nothing.

Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi, narrowed his eyes and asked, "You suggest a full mobilization of various places, but do not allow them to go to the front line. You must be preparing for the worst possible situation, right?" Sima Yi quickly said: "My lord is wise, That’s exactly it…”

Cao Pi nodded and said nothing more.

Zhang Lang inspected the military camp, cheered up the soldiers, and talked some nonsense, then came to the hall of the Xuchang Administration. When he saw Jia Xu burying his head in looking at something, he was curious and walked over to Jia Xu. Beside him, he looked at the thing in his hand. It was a report that had just been sent. It was a routine report sent by Hao Meng, the guard of Hulao Gate. There was not much delay in it, but it just said that everything on the river was normal. .

Zhang Lang asked in confusion: "Why do you ask Hulao Pass to pay attention to the river?"

Only then did Jia Xu realize that his lord had arrived. He was startled and quickly stood up to salute. Zhang Lang held him down, sat down cross-legged, and pointed to the official document in his hand, "What's going on? "

Jia Xu reported back: "My subordinates were worried that Cao Jun would raid Luoyang with his navy, so early in the morning he ordered the garrison at Hulao Pass to pay close attention to every move on the river."

Zhang Lang said: "Isn't this impossible?"

Jia Xu said: "It's better to be careful."

Zhang Lang smiled and nodded, "With you here, I don't have to worry about anything..." Jia Xu said modestly: "My lord is so flattering... I just try not to make mistakes as much as possible."

Dong Ying rushed in, saw Zhang Lang, and said angrily: "I've been looking for you everywhere, but I didn't expect you to say that Mr. is here..." Zhang Lang teased: "Miss me?" Dong Ying's face turned red and she said fiercely. He glared at Zhang Lang fiercely. Jia Xu pretended not to hear, stood up, and bowed seriously: "I have met the second lady."

Dong Ying said: "Sir, there is no need to be polite." "Thank you, Madam." Jia Xu sat back and continued to read his official documents.

Zhang Lang stood up, walked to Dong Ying, held her hands, and asked with a smile: "You are so anxious, can't you really do it because you miss me?" Dong Ying snorted, "I'm here. Let me tell you, all the medical officers under Hua Tuo have arrived." Zhang Lang was overjoyed and hurriedly walked outside, followed closely by Dong Ying. They met the Huben guards outside and a large group of people rushed towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When they arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, they heard that Hua Tuo and the others had already gone to the barbarian army camp, so the group immediately turned back to the barbarian army camp.

…

A few days later, Cao Pi's army arrived near Xuchang and set up camp. Zhang Lang immediately led his army to challenge the opponent's camp, but his opponent refused to come out. This happened for two consecutive days, and Zhang Lang was too lazy to go out and challenge.

That morning, Zhang Lang, Jia Xu and others stood on the city gate tower and looked at the Cao army camp stretching for more than ten miles in the distance. Zhang Lang said angrily: "These guys seem to be waiting for Xianbei and Sun Jian with peace of mind." Come to attack... Huh, it's a pity that their plan has failed..." Jia Xu looked thoughtful and asked Zhang Lang: "Has the lord sent all the scouts?" Zhang Lang nodded, "Of course...according to Mr. I suggest that I take pictures of all the scouts. If there is any trouble with Cao Jun, we will know it immediately." Jia Xu nodded.

Dong Ying asked: "What should we do if Cao Jun starts to retreat when he sees no opportunity? Should we just watch helplessly?"

Jia Xu smiled and said: "If that's the case, then let them go." Dong Ying huffed and said angrily: "Sir, this is not like your 'poisonous' style..." Jia Xu laughed and said : "Second Madam made fun of..."

Seeing that there was no movement from Cao's army, Zhang Lang left and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Dong Ying came forward to take off Zhang Lang's armor, but Wang Yi suddenly rushed in and reported: "General, the princess wants to see you..."
