In the Chang'an General's Mansion, two people were slowly wandering by the lotus pond in the back garden. Dian Wei, who had a majestic face on his face, followed closely behind, and the fierce iron wall guards with his waist and swords were scattered not far away.

"Shoucheng, in the future, you will have trouble with the several counties west of Xiliang!"

"The lord's words are so strong! I should guard the Xiliang branch in the lower place!"

"Meng Qi will stay by my side in the future. In the future, he will definitely be able to use his skills to march into the Central Plains and even conquer the foreign lands!"

"It is a blessing for a child to be favored by the lord!"

While the two were talking, a graceful figure ran over. As soon as Dian Wei saw her, his face immediately turned aside and went to the side.

When the graceful figure saw Dian Wei, his eyes lit up, as if a child saw his beloved toy.

"Big Boy Bear, let's compete later!", his tone was very excited. Dian Wei looked very sad.

"Yun Lu, how dare you be rude in front of your lord! Why don't you apologize to your lord quickly!" Ma Teng frowned and scolded.

Chen Chu smiled indifferently, "It's rare for Miss Ma to be straightforward and lively. Shoucheng doesn't need to be scolded!"

Ma Yunlu bowed in front of the two and said, "Yunlu has met her father and lord!"

Ma Teng frowned. When Ma Yunlu bowed, he placed him in front of Chen Chu. This was very rude. Just as he was about to scold him, Chen Chu smiled and said, "Miss Ma, don't have to be too polite, get up."

Ma Yunlu stood up and was excited to speak to Ma Teng. He seemed to suddenly remember something. His cunning eyes turned and then said to Chen Chu: "Lord, Yunlu has something to ask for!"

Chen Chu smiled and glanced at Ma Teng. Ma Teng smiled awkwardly. "If you have anything, just say it."

Ma Yunlu glanced at her father and said, "Yunlu is very close to her sisters and wants to stay with her sisters for a while!"

What a ghost! Chen Chu couldn't help but smile in his heart. Looking at Ma Teng, Chen Chu asked, "Shoucheng, what do you mean?"

Ma Teng quickly clasped his fists at Chen Chu and said, "Everything is up to the lord's will!"

Chen Chu nodded, then smiled and said to Ma Yunlu, "Then you stay. The room you live in now will be your room in the future."

Ma Yunlu jumped up with a cheer, and she looked so cute. "Lord, father, I won't bother you anymore. I'll go find my sisters!" As she said that, she ran away excitedly.

Ma Teng accused him in embarrassment: "The little girl is arrogant, please forgive me!"

Chen Chu patted Ma Teng on the shoulder and smiled, "Miss Ma is straightforward and cute. I like it so tightly, so how can I blame him?"

Ma Teng was stunned for a moment, and a thought suddenly came out.

At this time, Chen Chu looked at Dian Wei with a strange look. Dian Wei was uncomfortable all over when Chen Chu saw him, but he did not dare to object. He seemed very restless.

After a while, Chen Chu asked, "I'm very surprised when I'm evil! You seem to be afraid of Miss Ma?"

When Chen Chu mentioned Ma Yunlu, Dian Wei's rude face showed an expression of unbearable look back. This appearance on Dian Wei, a magnificent general, was really funny.

Chen Chu couldn't bear it and laughed. "Come on evil, what are you doing?"

Dian Wei sighed, with a painful memory on his face and said, "Miss Ma always clamors for me to compete in martial arts! If I don't compete with her, I will be in peace. If I compete with her, I am afraid of hurting her! It's so painful! My wife won't bother me like this!"

Chen Chu was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that Ma Yunlu was a female hero with good martial arts skills. Looking at Dian Wei with a bitter face, Chen Chu couldn't help but laugh.

Ma Teng, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but feel ashamed and quickly apologized to Dian Wei: "The little girl is willful, I hope the general will forgive me!"

Dian Wei waved his big palm generously, "Nothing tolerate or not. Miss Ma will be the wife sooner or later."

Chen Chu and Ma Teng were both stunned for a moment. Ma Teng's expression became a little strange, and Chen Chu scolded: "What are you saying when you are evil? You are not allowed to say this in the future!"

Dian Wei immediately responded, but his face...

But he looked confused. Obviously he didn't understand why Chen Chu said that.

Chen Chu and Ma Teng continued walking by the lotus pond. Chen Chu explained some things to Ma Teng, and then chatted with Ma Teng.

About two quarters of an hour later, Ma Teng left.

Chen Chu walked slowly towards the independent courtyard where the girls lived. As he approached, he heard bursts of cheerful silver bell-like laughter coming from the courtyard. Chen Chu couldn't help but smile knowingly.

After a pause, he continued to walk in. Dian Wei stopped at the door and did not follow in.

At this moment, an iron guard hurriedly ran over from outside.

"Lord, there is an emergency military situation!" The guard ran to Chen Chu and knelt down and reported.

Chen Chu couldn't help but sigh, turned around and left the courtyard, Dian Wei followed closely behind as usual.

When they arrived at the inner hall, Jia Xu and other strategists, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Ma Chao and other generals were already waiting. Jia Xu and other strategists stood on the left, while Zhang Liao and other military generals stood on the right. When Chen Chu came in, everyone was talking in a low voice. Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun and Ma Teng returned to Chang'an to report their duties, so the three of them would appear here.

Chen Chu was shocked when he saw this scene. Usually, only counselors were present when discussing matters, but today all the important generals in Chang'an came, which only means that something big happened.

Chen Chu sat down on the main seat, and everyone bowed together, "Go to the lord."

"No need to be polite to everyone!"

Then he looked at Jia Xu and asked, "Mr. Wenhe, what are the urgent military information?"

Jia Xu replied: "Just receiving the emergency military information from Lu Zijing, Yuan Shao's 300,000 troops were defeated by Cao Cao in Dingtao. Now Cao's army is in great momentum, and General Zhang He has retreated back to Huguan to avoid the attack."

"What?!" Chen Chu almost thought he had heard it wrong.

Then he frowned and began to ponder. Everyone did not speak and stared at Chen Chu.

What a Cao Cao! It's true that he is worthy of being the number one hero in the Three Kingdoms! He defeated Yuan Shao's 300,000 elite troops in just a few months! Now Yuan Shao is afraid he is already a frightened bird. Cao Cao, what are you going to do next? Should you go south to Xuzhou or north to Jizhou? I will never let your plan succeed!

Chen Chu's eyes narrowed, and a terrifying aura appeared inadvertently in his expression. Everyone was shocked when they saw this.

"Wenhe, what is Cao Cao's next step? Should he go south to Xuzhou or north to Jizhou?" Chen Chu asked in a deep voice.

Jia Xu immediately replied: "Yuan Shao was defeated, and I am afraid that he would not dare to enter the east again in a short period of time! Cao Cao, who had freed up his hand, would definitely choose to go south to Xuzhou!"

Chen Chu showed a thoughtful look and asked, "Why did Wenhe think so?"

"If you go north to Jizhou, it will inevitably arouse Yuan Shao to fight against Cao Cao! At present, Cao Cao cannot cope with such a situation! Therefore, with the cleverness of Cao Cao and the counselors around him, he would never choose to go north to Jizhou! If you go south to Xuzhou, the situation will be different. If you operate well, you will most likely sweep several counties in Xuzhou within one month!"

Chen Chu felt a little nervous and asked, "What do you mean?"

Jia Xu paused and continued, "If I were on Cao Cao's side, I would suggest Cao Cao send someone to connect with Yuan Shu in Huainan to lure Yuan Shu to launch an attack in the south. When the main force of the Xuzhou army moves south, then concentrate the main force to move south with lightning speed, we will definitely fight to Xuzhou!"

Chen Chu frowned and said in his heart: Guo Jia, who is beside Cao Cao, is not inferior to Jia Xu, and Cao Cao will definitely adopt this strategy!

Thinking of this, I felt more and more urgent.

"Wenhe, how many troops can our army gather in a short period of time, exit Huguan and attack Yanzhou?" Chen Chu seemed to want to use all his strength to fight Cao Cao.

Jia Xu thought for a while and replied: "Our military food and grass were consumed too much during the Northern Expedition to the Xianbei some time ago! There was not much food in stock, and the cost of appeaseing the people of Xiliang a few days ago, the food in stock in the warehouse is now very high! Fortunately, with the wheat entering the warehouse one after another during this period, the problem of military food has been greatly alleviated!"

"If we raise an army within one month, our army can use 200,000 to fight. If we raise an army within two months, we can use 350,000 troops to fight...

Confirmation.”

Chen Chu thought in his mind that to cause a powerful blow to Yanzhou, he would have to have a large army of 300,000. However, two months were too long! But if the troops were sent within one month, the 200,000 army would seem a little stretched! What should I do?

The inner hall was extremely quiet, and everyone's face showed a look of distress.

After a while, Jia Xu spoke, "Lord, if we attack Yecheng after Cao's army sent troops to Xuzhou, it would be possible that we would succeed!"

Chen Chu paused for a while before sighing, "That will be an extremely fierce battle!" Even if Cao Cao went south to Xuzhou, he would definitely deploy a large amount of defensive forces in Yecheng. If the Northern Expedition Army wants to break through in a short period of time, he will undoubtedly pay a heavy price.

"Is there no other way?" Chen Chu asked.

Jia Xu shook his head, "If we could notify Xuzhou earlier, we could think of other solutions. But this is obviously impossible!"
