Zhuge Liang is now taking him wherever Cao Zhi goes, but his identity is still very special. He is neither Cao Zhi's aide nor holds any position in the court, nor is he a civilian, and he is with Cao Zhi. However, whenever Cao Zhi has important military and political affairs, he will call him to participate. Zhuge Liang is somewhat self-aware and never expresses too much insightful opinions at the meetings of Cao Zhi's ministers' discussions, as if he doesn't ask for any performance. Usually he just listens, and except for some changes in his expression, he is always very low-key. This does not arouse many disgusts from Cao Zhi's subordinates.

However, Cao Zhi's excessive emphasis on Zhuge Liang still made the civil servants and generals around Cao Zhi unable to understand it. I don't know why Cao Zhi valued such a person who had no performance and no special skills, and they really didn't see the strengths of this person.

"Lord, do we want to increase our troops in Xiakou?" Cao Chun took the lead in making an argument. He was very worried that Le Jin would lead 10,000 troops alone and would find it difficult to defend Xiakou. When they received the information, Sun Ce would go out to send troops to Jingzhou to seize food from them.

Although Cao Chun and other generals under Cao Zhi's tent have increased their importance to Sun Ce, a force dominated by young generals, with Cao Zhi's repeated caution. However, they could not stand the Jiangdong Group power led by a young man who was only 25 years old, but they knew that Sun Ce could raise 50,000 regular troops in addition to leaving behind the defensive forces necessary to defend his four major counties. If so many soldiers surrounded Xiakou, Le Jin would definitely not be able to defend that place.

Regarding Cao Chun's request, Cao Zhi casually said: "Who wants reinforcements, is Xiahou Jie here?"

"The last general is here!" A young player who was no more than twenty years old ran in from the outermost circle of the general in a circle.

"Give you a hundred people to go to Xiakou and reinforce Le Jin!"

"ah!……."

After Cao Zhi finished speaking lightly, everyone below was already exclaiming and widened their eyes. He asked a child under the age of 20 to lead a hundred people to reinforce Xiakou City, which might be surrounded by a 50,000 army. Everyone present thought they had heard it wrong, except Guo Jia.

The Xiahou Jie who was named is currently a deputy general around Cao Zhi, who is only eighteen years old. He is Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan’s nephew, which is equivalent to Cao Zhi’s nephew.

Cao Cao was originally called "Xiahou Cao", and of course Cao Zhi should be called "Xiahou Zhi". Their father Cao Song passed the house and gave Cao Teng the son of the eunuch in the court. Cao Cao was called Cao Cao, and Cao Zhi was called Cao Zhi. Therefore, the Xiahou family is Cao Zhi's own clan. Cao Song. Although Cao Cao is dead now, he can't forget his roots now, Cao Zhi, who has occupied the body of Cao Zhi for the time being. Therefore, the seven aunts and aunts of the surname "Xiahou" are controlled by Cao Zhi.

This Han Dynasty is still very popular. Is it a Chinese? From opening a small grocery store to managing a big world, I always like to operate in the form of family business. People who are knowledgeable and good at responsibilities and have modern management concepts are great, and people like Cao Zhi are not immune to the common people. Therefore, when fighting, they often bring relatives of the younger nephews like Xiahou Jie and Xiahou En around them, and give them some special care, which can be regarded as an explanation to the elders in their clan.

In fact, the surname "Xiahou" should be described as "Xiahou" in Cao Zhi's army, and it cannot be regarded as nepotism. People who do not understand the situation of the Xiahou clan usually hear that people with the surname "Xiahou" are working in the army, and they will naturally have a blind eye in their minds. There is also his younger brother, who is good at surprise attacks, quick march, and Xiahou Yuan, who has made a lot of efforts in the early stage of Cao Cao and Cao Zhi's career. Therefore, people from the descendants of these generals with the surname "Xiahou" will inevitably have the expectation of "hard war" for them.

However, there were several invincible generals in their clan, but these two Xiahou boys were not qualified to be the general. Buxiao said that these two were still young, Xiahou Jie was eighteen and Xiahou En was seventeen. And they were purely the older generation to conquer the world. They enjoyed the world, without any special skills, and because of their surnames, they often claimed to be martial arts and would never lose to their parents in battle. They were very excited to appear in battle. Now they worked under Cao Zhi because of this nepotism, and they all had certain military positions.

But what made the Xiahou brothers depressed was that Cao Zhi knew very well what these two brothers were. In order to give their parents a good explanation, he tailored the "full-time sword-carrying" position for the younger Xiahou En based on the actual situation of "no specialties, but specialties". He was responsible for carrying the "Yingtian" sword left by Cao Cao, and another sword named "Qingyan" had been given by Cao Zhi to the young general Zhao Yun who was optimistic about. After Cao Zhi got the "Qinhuang" sword from Lu Bu, he already had a sword with him, so he didn't use the "Yingtian" sword at all. This sword has always been sought to be admired by Xiahou En. So in fact, Xiahou En was just like a walking sword sheath.

But Cao Zhi has always been reluctant to give up the sword of Yitian, which cuts iron like mud, and is extremely sharp because of the plot of "Jin Yong" in his previous life, the classic line "Yi Tian does not come out, who will compete with each other" has always made him reluctant to give up this sword that he is not very good at. Although Cao Zhi also knows that this "Yi Tian" and that "Yi Tian" are not the same sword, people are sometimes so strange.

The topic turned back to Xiahou Jie. He was better than his younger brother Xiahou En, so he didn't have to be a walking swordsman. But at this time, when he heard Cao Zhi only gave him a lineup of 100 people, he still went to help. His face was so scared that he was pale and his legs were trembling gently.

"The lord means that Sun Ce will not be so stupid as to use all his troops to attack a Xiakou City!" Guo Jia couldn't help but explain the mystery first.

"Why? I wouldn't it be better for me to go back to Xiangyang and draw a soldier from Xu Huang to help him!" Dian Wei spoke. His sense of strategy has never been strong. He would rather believe in absolute strength than guessing out of thin air.

"No, I have all the troops and horses along the way from Yangzhou to Jingzhou, so don't act rashly!" Cao Zhi directly refused Dian Wei'er and asked for his order.

"After all, Xiahou Jie needs to bring some instructions!" Cao Chun fought for the final proposal.

"No, Lejin knows what to do!" Cao Zhi replied coldly.

"Brother!"

"Master!"

Just as the generals around Cao Zhi couldn't help but Cao Zhi looked down on Le Jin and Xiakou City so much and had to kneel down to ask for his orders, Zhuge Liang's carriage finally arrived.

Zhuge Liang, a scholar, could not have been able to rush around like Cao Chun, Xu Chu and others. If Cao Zhi had not ordered to stop at Changbanpo, Zhuge Liang would have been at the end of the team!

The bumps of two days and two nights were still clamoring for this young wise man. Not only did he get rid of his bones, Zhuge Liang was helped off the car by the escort who was accompanying him, not only did he walk a little stagger, but his face was also a little pale.

When he saw Cao Zhi, Cao Zhi asked Zhuge Liang to sit on Guo Jia's right side with a smiling expression.

Then Cao Zhi continued to ignore the requests from his generals and said to Zhuge Liang "Thank you for your hard work this way". With Zhuge Liang's bitter smile, suddenly, outside the woods, another messenger's messenger rushed towards the team resting on the spot and the woods.

"Report..." The messenger shouted in a long voice, rushed to Cao Zhi's Qingluo umbrella cover, jumped off his horse, knelt on one knee, and shouted: "Report to the lord, Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, controversial overnight. At Ye Hai, Zhou Yu personally led 20,000 naval troops and went out of Hanyang. Hanyang had already lost. Zhou Yu and the next day accelerated their speed and headed towards Wulin and Chibi!"

After hearing the latest enemy situation brought by the messenger, Cao Zhi's eyes shone with dazzling light in an instant: "Is this news confirmed?"

"It has been confirmed that Cheng Pu's troops and horses suddenly withdrew their troops after attacking Xiakou City on the second day, and they met with Sun Ce's follow-up troops!"

Hearing the first news, the bright light in Cao Zhi's eyes gradually dimmed, and then the bold master of the Han Empire had a dark smile on his face. Only those who were familiar with him knew that it was his signature smile when he succeeded in his plan.

The next moment, Cao Zhi first said softly, "My second trick seems to be about to fail again!", then glanced at the generals and said coldly: "Do you understand?"

As soon as Cao Zhi finished speaking, Cao Chun, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Xiahou Jie and many other generals around him sang and replied: "My wise and has already won a thousand miles of victory. We will definitely obey the lord's order in the future and will no longer dare to have any objections!"

####### When the generals under Cao Zhi's tent were convinced by Cao Zhi's arrangement, Cheng Pu was full of "disputes" about Sun Ce's sudden arrival.

"Why did I suddenly let me retreat?" Cheng Pu, who was haggard, sat on the horse, pondering all the way as the horse's back rose and fell.

"That's right, we have lost so many brothers in vain. What did the lord think?" Huang Gai couldn't help but complain.

Their battle was a little unclear. After they made a lot of sacrifices, Sun Ce, who was in Chaisang, suddenly ordered Cheng Pu to retreat immediately, and he had other arrangements.

After receiving the order, Cheng Pu had to give up Xiakou, and after leaving more than a thousand bodies, he led his troops to retreat. All this happened before Cheng Pu and Zhou Yu's urgent letter about changing the plan was sent to Chaisang, so Cheng Pu still found it difficult to clarify what medicine Sun Ce sold in the gourd along the way.

The water of the river flows to the foot of Mount Lu and meets Poyang Lake, and reaches Chaisang! Chaisang is also known as Jiujiang, Huhan Jiushui, which refers to Ganjiang River, Poshui, Yushui, Xiushui, Ganshui, Xushui, Shushui, Nanshui, Pengshui, Dajiang River flows through the waters of the Chaisang Jiujiang River. The rivers adjacent to Poyang Lake, Luling, Jianchang, Nanchang and other places gather. All rivers return to the sea, the water is vast and the river surface is magnificent.
