Chapter 191 Xi Yu: I don’t think so
As for Liu Bei not appearing in Xiapi City, Xi Yu immediately asked the Xuzhou officials.
At this moment, someone stood up and explained to Xi Yu.
"Uncle Liu Huang wrote a letter the day before yesterday. He has already led a large army to camp in Xiaopei, hoping to form an angle with Xiapi to fight against the armies of Lu Bu and Yuan Shu!"
Hearing this explanation, Xi Yu was not too surprised.
He knew that once Liu Bei left Xuchang, he would never give Cao Cao a chance to restrain himself. It was normal for this situation to happen now.
It is impossible for Liu Bei to bring a large army to Xiapi and be restrained by Cao Jun.
Xiaopei is just a choice on the surface!
Xi Yu didn't care about what Liu Bei would do in the future. Now that he had come to Xuchang, even if Xia Houyuan didn't want to see him.
But Xuzhou affairs cannot be discussed without him.
That day, Cheng Yu and Xi Yu led the army after a brief reorganization.
This was his original plan before he plotted Yanzhou.
Although he failed in the night attack, so what? Wasn't there nothing that Fengyi could do about it?
"Fell into that Ji Ling's plan!"
Seeing Chen Gong again, Lu Bu couldn't help but feel excited.
After a few years of passing away, the opponent's martial arts must have not improved at all.
The other party is just like that.
After hearing this, Xia Houyuan also looked at Xi Yu. Since you said that night attack is not possible, I would also like to hear what good ideas you have.
Xia Houyuan raised his head, his eyes blazing, but he almost didn't say that there were spies of the other side in the army.
"Does the Lieutenant have any clever ideas?"
In this troubled world, it may be difficult to change the world today, but everything Xi Fengyi has done before has made him somewhat interested.
However, compared to Lu Bu's excitement, Chen Gong in front of him was much calmer.
The first point the other party mentioned was that Lu Bu had also heard people persuade him that he naturally did not want to be complicit with Yuan Shu when he became emperor.
"Did Xia Houyuan lead an army to attack Ji Ling at night?"
When Cheng Yu heard this, he felt a little helpless.
"I thought this night attack was foolproof, but I never thought that this person had already planned it, as if he already knew that I was going to lead an army in a night attack!"
It’s nothing more than making the other person happy!
That night, Xia Houyuan quietly led thousands of soldiers out of Xiapi City Gate and rushed straight to the camp where Ji Ling was stationed.
Xi Yu is not in a hurry right now, but Xia Houyuan on the other side has already made up his mind.
Xia Houyuan seemed a little sarcastic.
Um?
Hearing that Chen Gong was leaving, Lu Bu's expression obviously changed.
A quiet night.
Although Lu Bu was enthusiastic in front of him, Chen Gong still noticed that this enthusiasm might just be a little impulsive because of the situation in front of Lu Bu.
Chen Gong admonished him, and he had already said what needed to be said. These words were said out of respect for the fact that he had some friendship with Lu Bu before.
Cheng Yu admonished him. After hearing this, Xia Houyuan thought about it and nodded.
After the discussion was over, Xia Houyuan went to find Cheng Yu again.
Just waiting for you to attack the camp?
Cheng Yu wanted to refute Xia Houyuan's words, but at this time he was not in a hurry to speak, and just looked at Xi Yu on the other side.
Previously, in his eyes, Lu Bu was nothing more than an extremely sharp knife.
"What do you think, Lieutenant?"
Lu Bu was very excited that Chen Gong could find him at such a time.
Seeing Xi Yu coming at this time, Cheng Yu greeted Xi Yu extremely politely.
"I've seen the captain!"
The Xiahou brothers were in charge of matters in Xuzhou. Now that Xiahou Dun was seriously injured, it was not a bad idea for Xiahou Yuan to preside over the discussion.
If only you, Xia Houyuan, had changed your position, you would have been so prepared at night!
After all, the enemy army has support. As a general, you should still be on guard!
I thought you had some clever tricks up your sleeve!
In terms of feelings, even I am not as good as me. I at least proposed the method of night attack, but when I asked you, you could only say nothing.
If you want to attack at night, then go ahead on your own. I don't have any objections anyway.
Probably because his plan was rejected by Xi Yu, I originally thought that Xi Yu would have some unexpected plan.
Now that we know that there is a large army coming to support, why don't we take precautions in this situation?
Around Si Shi, Xia Houyuan sent someone to invite a group of people to the Xiapi Yamen Office to discuss matters.
Xia Houyuan was not polite at all when he heard this.
As for Naxi Fengyi, he has not heard any news about the other party participating in any wars in the past few years.
On the one hand, their army had just arrived in Xuzhou, and most of the soldiers did not know much about the terrain of Xuzhou.
Lu Bu's temperament was somewhat clear to him.
That's it?
After leaving Yanzhou, Lu Bu met Chen Gong again.
Perhaps he felt that Xi Yu still had some self-awareness.
Xia Houyuan's face turned dark when he heard Cheng Yu's question from the side of the aisle.
Nowadays, Chen Gong's purpose has changed.
It's better to turn around and pick a soft persimmon. Ji Ling is just a mediocre person, just following Lu Bu to gain some prestige!
Instead of turning around and dealing with Ji Ling directly, it would be a good choice.
Therefore, after he went to Bingzhou, he became increasingly depressed.
Looking at the expression on Lu Bu's face, Chen Gong knew to some extent that the other party might not have listened to his words at all.
Inside Xiapi Yamen.
At this time, when he saw Xi Yu sitting down, Xia Houyuan couldn't help but chuckle.
Originally he still had some pressure, but as armies from all walks of life came to support him, Lu Bu and others were no longer enough to watch in front of him.
"This time, I have something to say. Please listen to me!"
Unless Ji Ling is a fool, it would be strange for him to be able to sleep peacefully at night with the support of such a large army.
"Your style remains the same!"
"Is the general okay?"
Lu Bu asked directly. After hearing this, Chen Gong shook his head very calmly: "That's not the case!"
"In my opinion, now that the army has arrived, we can take advantage of this opportunity to attack Yuan Shu's army at night. I think it will be effective."
After hearing this, Xia Houyuan opened his mouth and couldn't help but sneered.
"Furthermore, Xi Fengyi has also arrived in Xuzhou with his army!"
After hearing these words, Chen Gong understood in his heart that Lu Bu did not want to let him leave this time.
At the same time, Cheng Yu, who was standing outside the city gate to greet Xia Houyuan, looked a little helpless.
The joy on Lu Bu's face visibly faded.
When he got it, Xia Houyuan actually led the army to attack the camp. Regarding this situation, Xi Yu just chuckled.
However, he was not in a hurry at the moment.
At this moment, Cheng Yu glanced at Xia Houyuan.
Xia Houyuan, on the other hand, was a little neither salty nor bland.
Seeing that Xi Yu didn't respond at all, Cheng Yu thought for a while before speaking.
Seeing Cheng Yu looking at Xi Yu, Xia Houyuan felt a little unhappy, but he still looked at Xi Yu with his face.
Xiyu opened his mouth to deny it!
Xia Houyuan spoke to himself.
He didn't care at all and spoke his thoughts directly.
The two informed Liu Bei that after receiving the news that Liu Bei had now led troops to station in Xiaopei, the two men were now rushing towards Liu Bei with their men and horses at night.
But after observing this time, to Chen Gong, Lu Bu seems to be the same Lu Bu as before.
Xi Yu directly denied Xia Houyuan's idea. As soon as he said this, Xia Houyuan's face darkened in an instant.
"Gongtai, we haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't we stay a little longer? We can take this opportunity to talk about our old feelings!"
As soon as Chen Gong finished speaking, he heard that the other party was not here to serve him, but to give him advice.
Now that the outcome is clear, there is no need to continue to mix things up.
"Secondly, although the Lord's attack on Xuzhou is effective, it is difficult to take control of Xuzhou!"
It was only now that he realized how important it was to have someone by his side who could make suggestions.
I thought that Lu Bu had at least changed a lot in the past two years.
No longer planning for one continent or one place, but looking at the entire world.
"Since the general has made a decision, I can do whatever I want!"
As for himself, his opinions were pretty much the same, but when Xi Yu had already denied it, he didn't speak, and he never thought that Xia Houyuan would come to him again.
You are already in this situation, what else can you do to get better?
He still regrets his decision to attack at night last night. However, regret is regret, but Xia Houyuan still doesn't care about Xi Fengyi.
I never thought that there was none.
"This time, I would like to advise you to find another way out as soon as possible!"
"Oh, Brother Gongtai, do you have any suggestions?"
It was precisely because of the other party that Lu Bu's self-confidence was hit immediately.
"Yu is so excited to come here. He doesn't know much about the affairs in Xuzhou. I wonder what the general's decision will be?"
After hearing Chen Gong's advice, Lu Bu's face couldn't help but sink.
He came here not to serve Lu Bu.
He knew that Xia Houyuan would not listen to his advice, but he never thought that as a leading general, he would not be able to distinguish such things clearly.
There is not much meaning in calculating those gains and losses.
Only the other party persuaded him to give up Xuzhou and find another way.
"Brother Gongtai came here this time, are you here to help me?"
Xia Houyuan didn't want to fight Lu Bu, after meeting Lu Bu before.
"Brother Gongtai!"
"The palace came here this time just to give you a suggestion for the sake of my friendship with you before!"
When Xi Yu, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and others arrived at the government office, Xia Houyuan and Cheng Yu were already among them, and they seemed to be discussing something.
However, now that several years have passed, Lu Bu's military power has once again returned to its peak.
When he met Xi Fengyi before, it was precisely because of the fight that Lu Bu realized that there was someone stronger than him in terms of force in this world.
Although he had already expected it, he did not expect that Xia Houyuan and his army would be in such a panic during this night attack.
Not all times are suitable for night attacks. Now that their army has come to support them, Ji Ling and Lu Bu naturally know something about it.
Night attacks are correct, but night attacks also depend on timing.
…
Perhaps, this time is his chance to take revenge for the previous time.
Seeing Cheng Yu staring at him, Xia Houyuan clenched his fist.
Chen Gong responded with a smile. After sitting down with Lu Bu, Chen Gong heard Lu Bu speak eagerly in front of him.
Discussions were held in the Xiapi Yamen Office, but no useful strategies were discussed.
It's night.
When Cheng Yu saw this situation, he immediately asked Xi Yu.
Although Cheng Yu wanted to deny this, seeing Xia Houyuan's eyes shining brightly, he nodded helplessly.
"Now that we are all here, let's discuss how to deal with Lu Bu and Yuan Shu's army!"
Logically speaking, Xiahou Dun, who was originally in charge of Xiapi affairs, could not attend the meeting at the Xiapi Yamen Office. Xi Yu should have been sitting at the head of the meeting.
When Xia Houyuan led his men to attack the camp, Xi Yu immediately arranged for Zhao Yun to take his men from the Suwei camp to explore the terrain of the battlefield and the garrison situation of the troops in all directions.
If we can work together with Naxi Fengyi to change the long-standing situation of this big man, maybe this time in this world will not be in vain.
Xia Houyuan asked aloud, his tone slightly impatient.
He didn't show the slightest courtesy to the other party: "How do I feel?"
The current situation is nothing more than being trapped in Xiapi City by Lu Bu, Ji Ling and others.
Attacking the camp at night may not have much effect.
Anyway, even if nothing happens, nothing big will happen to Xia Houyuan.
Today's night attack was a strategy only a fool could come up with.
If Xia Houyuan wanted to attack at night, it was Xia Houyuan's own business. Cheng Yu had almost expected that this night attack would not have much effect.
Xiyu smiled softly.
As for attacking Xuzhou together with the other party, it is also a helpless move.
While Chen Gong and Lu Bu were reminiscing about old times, Xi Yu also received news that Xia Houyuan was leading an army to attack Ji Ling's camp at night.
However, Xi Yu didn't bother to worry about this. After leading the people to sit at the second table, he wanted to hear what the audience thought.
He just wanted to give Lu Bu some advice out of friendship.
"Since the Lord said so, I might as well stay here for a few more days!"
Xia Houyuan asked Cheng Yu.
at the same time.
When the latter heard this, he was a little helpless. Xi Yu had already denied the matter during this discussion.
"I have no other plan this time!"
Now that the night attack has failed, we need to be prepared for Lu Bu and Ji Ling's army to take the opportunity to come.
The other party really made Lu Bu a little afraid.
In today's world, apart from the Xuzhou in front of him, where else could Lu Bu be placed?
As for the final scene, Fengyi.
Xiahou Dun proposed a night attack on Ji Ling's army. In Cheng Yu's opinion, such a proposal was not actually a good choice.
After bringing Xia Houyuan into the city, Cheng Yu couldn't help but opened his mouth to ask questions.
"Oh, the lieutenant actually has no other plan!"
Fame and wealth are nothing but clouds in the end, and a life of only a few decades is nothing but dust in the end.
Lu Bu asked back, his tone no longer as eager as before.
well?
"Mr. Zhongde, I intend to lead troops to attack Ji Ling's army tonight. What do you think, sir?"
Xia Houyuan reluctantly sent an envoy to invite Xi Yu to the Xiapi Yamen Office to discuss political affairs against Lu Bu and Yuan Shu.
Under such circumstances, Xia Houyuan naturally couldn't help but laugh.
Hearing Xiahou Dun's suggestion, Cheng Yu frowned slightly.
"First of all, you must not have a close friendship with Yuan Shu. This time Yuan Shu has rebelled and proclaimed himself emperor, and he is on the verge of death. If you get too close to him, you may be dragging yourself down!"
In the early morning of the next day, when a few fish-belly white colors appeared on the sky, Xia Houyuan returned in embarrassment with his army from the direction of the south city of Xiapi.
At this time, the original enthusiasm seemed to cool down in an instant.
To be honest, I had just arrived in Xuzhou this time, and the current battlefield situation was still unclear. Naturally, Xi Yu didn't have any good suggestions.
Xiyu was not surprised at all when he received the news.
Discussions still need to be discussed.
Lu Bu asked to stay.
However, after hearing Cheng Yu's question, Xi Yu immediately shook his head.
After witnessing the defeat of the army and seeing Xiahou Dun blinded by an arrow, Xiahou Yuan no longer wanted to face Lu Bu.
If Xia Houyuan wanted to go by himself, he could just let him go.
"General, although this night attack failed, it is not serious. Please ask the general to summon the generals to discuss the matter again!"
Cheng Yu opened his mouth and asked the question to Xia Houyuan.
It's just because the two had a slight friendship before because of the Yanzhou incident, and after Lu Bu attacked Xuzhou, Chen Gong met Lu Bu.
Not only on Liu Bei's side, but also on the other side in the county where Lu Bu lived.
"Um?"
If you think about Ji Ling, you will definitely deploy manpower to guard it to the death.
Xi Yu frowned and did not speak, and Guo Jia and others naturally had no intention of expressing their opinions.
Only later, after meeting Xi Yu, did he see more things clearly.
He wanted to open his mouth to retort, but he couldn't say anything at the time, so he could only snort.
On the other hand, Ji Lingzai is also Yuan Shu's top general. How can he not even understand military strength?
At the same time, Liu Bei, who was in Xiaopei, had also received replies from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Xi Yu didn't pay attention. After nodding towards the two of them, he took his seat in the field.
This night attack, it is obvious that you are mentally ill!
Do you really think everyone else is a fool?
Although Cheng Yu thought so, he didn't say anything after all.
Chen Gong arrived at Lu Bu's tent yesterday.
However, now that Xia Houyuan has led the army out, Xi Yu doesn't have much thought.
Thinking like this, Chen Gong bowed his hands towards Lu Bu: "Your Majesty, I have already said what you need to say, Gong, I will stay here soon!"
"I don't think so!"
Lu Bu thought to himself that he had not listened to a single word of Chen Gong's advice at this time.
Chen Gong didn't care about this. Since he was already here, he wouldn't care about this situation.
Xiyu is among them.
Inside Xiapi Yamen.
When Xi Yu arrived, he saw Xia Houyuan with a dark face and a bit of embarrassment in his attire. It seemed that the other party had summoned everyone to discuss the matter before he had time to clean up.
Seeing this situation, Xi Yu didn't care at all. After sitting at the same table as yesterday, Xia Houyuan spoke.
"A certain person failed in his night attack last night. I never thought that Ji Ling would have been prepared..."
