Chapter 385 Lv Bu and Zhang Miao join forces to attack Cao Cao

Chenliu City.

Jiang Gan only brought two followers in casual clothes to the prime minister's mansion.

When Liu Bian succeeded to the throne, in order to resettle Liu Xie, he appointed Liu Xie as King of Chenliu and changed Chenliu County to Chenliu State. Chenliu Prefect also automatically became the Prime Minister, and the Prefect's Mansion was established as the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Standing in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the soldier in front of the door stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing? The idle people are not allowed to stay here and leave!"

Jiang Gan said to his left entourage, "Go and tell him, just say that the envoy of the governor of Yuzhou, Lu Bu, came to visit the Prime Minister Zhang!"

The follower immediately stepped forward to tell the soldiers and asked them to enter the mansion to inform Zhang Miao.

When the soldiers guarding the gate saw that Jiang Gan and others had revealed their identity as an envoy Lu Bu, they did not dare to neglect them, so they immediately ran into the prime minister's mansion to report to Zhang Miao.

When Zhang Miao heard the report from the soldiers, he was furious and said, "In the battle of Hulao Pass, Lu Bu killed many of my soldiers, and I have always kept the account in mind! Now, the three slaves of Lu Bu dare to send envoys to die. People come to capture Lu Bu's envoys and kill them, and come to see me with their heads!"

"Yes!" The general Bao Tao agreed with his fists and hurried away with some soldiers.

When he arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Bao Tao looked at Jiang Gan and others, drew out the sword and pointed it, "Catch them all!"

Jiang Gan was startled at first, then calmed down and did not resist. He looked at Bao Tao and asked, "Do you dare to ask if you are Bao Tao, the brother of General Bao Xin?"

Bao Tao was stunned and said suspiciously, "How did you recognize Bao?"

Jiang Gan laughed and said, "Who doesn't know that General Bao Xin died to save Cao Cao. Not only did Cao Cao not be grateful, but it would be fine if he didn't repay his kindness, but he also occupied Jibei and took away the territory that originally belonged to the general? Cao Cao was so kind to repay his grudges and was here to deal with Cao Cao. I would like to ask the general to make a difference and let him meet Zhang Xiang!"

Bao Tao hesitated for a moment, waved his hand to let the soldiers go, Jiang Gan and others, and said, "Sir, since he came to deal with Cao Cao, Bao should help him, but Zhang Xiang has ordered to kill him, so it's hard for Bao to do it. Mr. Bao should leave!"

Jiang Gan was not worried at all, and said with a smile, "General, just go and report to Zhang Xiang again, and say that Jiang Gan, the son of his old friend, asked for a meeting!"

"Okay, sir, let's wait for a moment!"

Bao Tao returned to the mansion and repeated Jiang Gan's original words to Zhang Miao. When Zhang Miao heard that he was really the son of an old friend, he immediately asked Bao Tao to bring Jiang Gan in, and sent someone to call his younger brother Zhang Qianlai.

Jiang Gan followed Bao Tao to the inner hall and saw two people sitting opposite each other, which were Zhang Miao and Zhang brothers. He immediately stepped forward to greet him, "My nephew Jiang Gan greets the two uncles!"

"Get up quickly!" Zhang had the best relationship with Jiang Gan's father, so he immediately stood up and helped Jiang Gan up.

"Thank you two uncles!"

After the guest and the host and the host sat down, the maid brought tea.

Zhang Miao asked, "Nephew, you are only capable of learning, how could you go to Lu Bu for a living?"

Jiang Gan smiled and said, "Uncle, it's really not to be hiding it. My nephew is actually here to join the two uncles. Going to a job next to Lu Bu is just to find a place to live for the time being. How could Lu Bu be so reckless, let his nephew be willing to serve him? This time, my nephew is coming to bring a huge opportunity to the two uncles!"

Zhang Qiuqi said, "How do you say this?"

Jiang Gandao "The two uncles knew that Cao Cao was leading his army to attack Tao Qian in Xuzhou at this time, and there were not many troops left. If the two uncles could bring Lu Bu and jointly attack Yanzhou with him, they would definitely be able to go down in one fell swoop! Then he used a trick to eliminate Lu Bu. With Lu Bu's low wisdom, how could he be the opponent of the two uncles? Just use a small trick to kill him. If the uncle seized his troops and occupied Yanzhou, Cao Aman would become a loser! In this way, he could also avenge Cao Aman's robbery of Shanyang County when he robbed his uncle's uncle!"

The Zhang Miao and Zhang brothers looked at each other. They had actually been dissatisfied with Cao Cao for a long time, but Cao Cao was powerful and had strong strength. They had no talent for generals who could be used in their hands, so they did not dare to turn against Cao Cao casually.

Now that Jiang Gan said this, it seems to be a good opportunity, but Lu Bu is a tiger or a slave from the three surnames. Is it reliable or not? Also, if Yanzhou is taken away, Cao Aman will not return to his army and fight to the death?

Zhang Miao laughed and said to Jiang Gan, "Nephew, this is a big deal. You have to let your uncle think about it! In this way, you can stay with your uncle for the time being, and let me tell you when my uncle makes a decision, can you tell me?"

"Then I'll bother my uncle!"

Jiang Gan lived in the prime minister's mansion. Zhang Miao had no news for several days, but he came to invite him to the banquet every day.

Jiang Gan couldn't wait here for too long, so he decided to take the initiative to persuade Zhang first. After all, Cao Cao took away Zhang's Shanyang County, and Zhang should hate Cao Cao the most.

"Uncle is so leisurely!" Jiang Gan said with a smile to Zhang who was sitting by the pond fishing.

Zhang pointed to the stone bench next to him and said, "Sit!"

"Thank you uncle!" Jiang Gan sat aside after saluting.

"Uncle, please forgive me for saying that although you live here leisurely, you will inevitably feel like you are living under someone else's roof. Even though my uncle is your brother! In my nephew's opinion, you have to find a place to settle down as soon as possible. In the past, you were also a prefect and a prince, but now you have ended up in such a land, all thanks to Cao Aman. Do you hate Cao Mengde at all? Are you willing to fish here? You must know that Chenliu is probably not a long-term place. Once Cao Mengde conquered Xuzhou, his territory has been more than doubled, and with the support of Xuzhou's money and food, Chenliu will be swallowed up sooner or later! If the two uncles do not kill him, he wants to kill the two uncles. If you want to survive and establish a career in this chaotic world, you must be cruel and act first!"

Zhang was silent for a while and said, "Ziyi, my brother and I don't want to send troops to attack Cao Cao's nest. I wish Cao Aman could eat raw meat and drink blood. My uncle was worried that Lu Bu's tiger was difficult to control. If he joined forces with him, he might worry about causing wolves to enter the house. Moreover, Cao Cao has been in Yanzhou for two years and has a deep foundation. If he wants to capture it in one fell swoop, it's not easy!"

Jiang Gan had already been confident and said, "I understand my uncle's concerns! But my nephew thinks neither of these two is an obstacle. Let's talk about Lu Bu first. Will my uncle think that Cao Cao will remain indifferent after we take Yanzhou? He will definitely return to the army and fight back to the death. If he wants to deal with Cao Cao, let Lu Bu fight to the death with him. When both of them are injured, my uncle will lead his troops to clean up the mess. It can solve both Lu Bu and Cao Cao, and kill two birds with one stone!"

"Along with how to quickly capture Yanzhou, as far as my nephew knows, Cao Cao has two corpses under his command, one is named Xu Si and the other is named Wang Kai. These two are actually subordinates when General Zhu Ye was appointed as the governor of Yanzhou. They are loyal to General Zhu Ye and have long speculated that General Zhu Ye's death was related to Cao Aman. They are angry, but they are weak and dare not act rashly. If my uncle sends people to contact these two people and let them be the inner supporters, they will succeed!"

As Zhang listened, his eyes became brighter and brighter. After Jiang Gan finished speaking, he thought about it again and said, "I'll go find my eldest brother, and you are here to wait for news from my uncle!"

"promise!"

Zhang Miao was persuaded by Zhang and sent an eloquent person to secretly contact Xu Si and Wang Kai.

Jiang Gan waited in Chenliu for seven days and finally waited for good news from Zhang. Zhang sent someone to call him to the lobby. Zhang Miao said to him, "Ziyi, I have contacted Wang Kai and Xu Si. They have agreed that as long as we raise our troops to attack Yanzhou, they will act at the camera and cooperate with our army! Now you need to return to Yingchuan to tell Lu Bu, let him lead his troops to join our army, and then attack Yanzhou together!"

Jiang Gan was overjoyed and bowed, "Don't worry, two uncles, Lu Bu had this idea, and my nephew would be able to convince him to lead his army when he returns this time!"

Zhang Miao and the two brothers Zhang sent Jiang Gan to the city gate and returned.

"Brother, do you think Ziyi really took advantage of my brothers or Lu Bu's trick?" Zhang asked.

Zhang Miao smiled and said, "Do you think that Lu Bu's brain can come up with such a strategy? Whether Ziyi is sincere or false, we must be aware of it this time. This is a chaotic world that cannibalize people. If you are not careful, you will lose your life if you are not careful! If Ziyi is sincere to us brothers, we will naturally not treat him badly in the future. If you have ulterior motives, huh, what if you are the son of an old friend?"

"That's true!"

When Jiang Gan returned to Yingchuan, he first met with the contactor secretly, gave a brief report on the incident, and then went to see Lu Bu after receiving further instructions.

Lu Bu was very happy that Jiang Gan had returned from his successful mission, and ordered someone to prepare a banquet to welcome him.

"Hahahaha... Mr., I will succeed in one fell swoop! Come on, I will give you a glass!" Lu Bu said with a glass of wine to Jiang Gan with a smile.

"Thank you, General!" Jiang Gan said and drank, and asked, "General, since the agreement has been made by brother Zhang Miao, I don't know when the general will start a military campaign? This must be done. If Cao Cao conquers Xuzhou, things will be bad!"

Lu Bu drank another glass of wine and placed the cup heavily on the table and said, "The food, grass and weapons are almost ready, and you will raise an army in three days! Please ask me to go to war with me and contact and negotiate with Zhang Miao brothers to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings!"

Jiang Gan knew that this was inevitable, and he couldn't do it if he didn't want to go, so he agreed, "Yes!"

On the first day of April, Lu Bu led his army of 15,000 out of Yinchuan and marched all the way. It took only three days to enter Chenliu and four more days to join Zhang Miao's army.

After the troops of both sides gathered, they killed animals and worshiped heaven and earth, and made an alliance with blood. They reported that heaven and earth sent troops to attack Cao Cao. Then Lu Bu, Zhang Miao and Zhang led a large army from Changyuan County to attack Dongjun and attacked Puyang.

The Xi Zhicai, Man Chong, Li Dian and others who were staying in Puyang did not expect that the Zhang Miao brothers would attract Lu Bu. Before they could react, Lu Bu and Zhang Miao's army came to the city of Puyang. While Xi Zhicai and others were preparing to strengthen their defense, they were preparing to break through and retreat, and were eager to send people to report to Cao Cao who was attacking Xuzhou.
