In the post house and the annex of the Xuzhou Mission, both Chu Nan and Zhang Liao fell silent as Zhang Liao blurted out his guess.
Cao Cao's move was a bit rogue, but from another perspective, did it mean that Cao Cao had already anticipated Lu Bu's reaction, so after sending Wang Ze, he went directly to Nanyang.
If Chu Nan had not reminded him, and if Chu Nan was not Lu Bu's son-in-law, perhaps Lu Bu's reaction would have been as Cao Cao expected.
"What should we do now?" After a long silence, Zhang Liao looked at Chu Nan.
"First confirm whether Cao Cao is in Xuchang before making any calculations." Chu Nan thought for a moment and said, whether Cao Cao will go to Nanyang is still their guess. This matter must be confirmed first.
"If Cao Cao really sends troops, how will Ziyan prepare?" Zhang Liao asked.
"Then go to Nanyang and try to defeat Cao Cao!" Chu Nan looked at Zhang Liao.
"It's difficult!" Zhang Liao shook his head. Cao Cao had many soldiers and generals, so what could Zhang Xiu do to stop Cao Cao? So what if they were alone?
"We have to give it a try, it all depends on manpower!" Chu Nan said helplessly. Of course, according to the historical trajectory, Cao Cao's first campaign against Zhang Xiu was a failure, but now in the world of Gaowu and Three Kingdoms, will it still be like history?
What if there is a strong general like Zhang Liao in Zhang Xiu's camp? Not enough? How about adding Lu Lingqi?
Zhang Liao glanced at Chu Nan and suddenly smiled: "Zi Yan is so brave!"
"Ahem~" He said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "Of course, we are just going to take a look. If it can be done, it will be best. If not, just turn around and leave. A gentleman would not stand behind a dangerous wall."
If a fight really breaks out, I can only hide in a corner and watch Zhang Liao fight for his life.
The plan has been decided, everyone goes back to rest.
In Chu Nan's room, with his heroic wife in his arms, Chu Nan was a little ready to make a move for a moment, but thinking of the possible consequences, he had no choice but to give up.
When you go out, you shouldn't use too much energy. You should use your energy on business. Well, that's what a man should do!
"If you want it, husband, I'll try to be more restrained." Lu Lingqi watched Chu Nan turn over several times to move his hands and feet, and then turned over again, looking like a gentleman, and whispered softly in Chu Nan's ear.
road.
The cold beauty took the initiative to invite a fight. At that moment, Chu Nan almost broke through, but after thinking about the consequences, he finally had no choice but to smile and said: "Madam, for the sake of you and me, I'd better exercise restraint now, and I'll have enough time to be a husband."
When you are strong and not afraid of the burning flames, you will surely satisfy your wife!"
Seeing the righteous expression on Chu Nan's face, Lu Lingqi couldn't help but sigh softly and turned her back. She didn't like to talk much, but now she took the initiative to invite her. She had already gathered up the courage, but was rejected by Chu Nan.
Naturally, I felt unhappy, but I couldn't help but laugh when I thought of Chu Nan's embarrassed appearance when he was burned the day before.
In the end, I didn't laugh. It was a calm night, and the arrival of the Xuzhou delegation did not cause any waves for Xuchang.
Early the next morning, Chu Nan took Zhang Liao to inquire about the direction of Sikong Mansion, and went straight to visit Sikong Mansion, but was rejected as expected.
"It seems that the worst outcome is becoming more and more likely." Chu Nan looked at Zhang Liao and said helplessly.
It’s almost certain!
Zhang Liao nodded silently: "Then let's go to Nanyang?"
"We can't leave rashly, when..." Chu Nan was about to say something, but saw Zhang Liao reaching out to stop him.
"Go this way." Zhang Liao said and took Chu Nan to the other side. This was not the way to the post house. When Chu Nan saw this, he didn't ask any questions and just followed Zhang Liao.
The two of them wandered around aimlessly, but Chu Nan noticed that Zhang Liao was walking further and further to the side, until they reached a secluded place and saw no one around, and Zhang Liao's figure suddenly disappeared.
Just when Chu Nan was stunned, the next moment, Zhang Liao reappeared in front of Chu Nan carrying someone.
"Who are you?" Chu Nan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the visitor. When his eyes were focused, the visitor's information appeared in front of him. He was not even an awakened person, but just an ordinary person. This made Chu Nan frown slightly.
"I forgive you, sir. I have no ill intentions. I have been ordered to come and invite you two." The visitor was thrown away by Zhang Liao and fell to pieces. He looked at Chu Nandao with a look of horror on his face.
"Oh? Who?" Chu Nan frowned.
"He is the head of my family. The head of the house only asked me to tell you that we are old friends from the past." The other party bowed.
"Old friend?" Chu Nan looked at Zhang Liao. His activity range was in Xuzhou. He had never made friends with anyone from Xuchang in his memory. It seemed that his friends did not come here to make a living. They were more likely to be Zhang Liao's old friends.
Zhang Liao shook his head. He did not remember that he had any old friends in Xuchang.
"Why are you so sneaky?" Zhang Liao frowned.
"The head of the family has a noble status. Now there are hidden secrets all over Xuchang. It's hard to invite you two openly. I can only ask you to follow me and wait for the opportunity to invite you." The man bowed and said.
"How?" Zhang Liao looked at Chu Nan.
"It doesn't hurt to meet." Chu Nan pulled Zhang Liao calmly, took two steps back and then whispered: "If there is an ambush, can the general protect me?"
Zhang Liao glanced at Chu Nan speechlessly, nodded and said: "As long as it is not surrounded by a large army, no matter how many thieves there are, Ziyan will be safe!"
For a strong general of his level, as long as there are no soldiers and horses led by generals to besiege, if ordinary soldiers are besieging them, it will be useless no matter how many people there are. The killing will naturally be endless, but it is not difficult to leave.
Chu Nan was immediately reassured. Zhang Liao was not the kind of person who liked to talk big. He immediately looked at the man and said, "Lead the way."
"You two, please come with me!"
He took the two of them back to the downtown area, wandering around and around, and finally looked around at a wine shop before going in.
The wine shop didn't have a big front, but after entering it, it turned out to be a rather large courtyard. The man saluted the two of them and said, "Please wait a moment, I'll go and report here."
Chu Nan nodded, and then the man left.
"It's not a low status." Chu Nan looked at the house. It was obviously just a place unknown to outsiders. Even so, it was quite large and the layout and furnishings were also quite particular. At first glance, it looked like a wealthy and evil household. Immediately, Chu Nan looked to Zhang Liao aside: "Is there an ambush?"
"Not yet." Zhang Liao shook his head. It is impossible for a large army to hide in a place like this, even if the secret code reaches a high level.
After a while, the person who had just brought them here came over dressed as a servant and said to the two of them: "You two, follow me."
Chu Nan calmly moved back a little, pretending that Zhang Liao was in charge, and followed the servants into the side hall. However, he saw a middle-aged man with a big belly smiling at Zhang Liao and said, "Wen Yuan, long time no see!"
"I've met General Dong!" Seeing this man, Zhang Liao frowned and saluted him...
