Eight days later, half of the rations had been transported to the greater part of Xuzhou's territory and were in Cao Ren's hands. The other half had returned to the supply camp outside Chen Liu.
Chen Gong and Zhang Liao were locked up in the prison. Zhang Liao was still fine, waiting for the time to come. However, Chen Gong was different. He seemed to have gone crazy, and he was muddleheaded every day. Occasionally, he would laugh.
Zhang Miao was in a better situation than them. He was only confined to a courtyard and was not allowed to go out. No one talked to him or approached him. No one knew where his family was. There was not even a candle at night. The guards at the door naturally did not treat him well. They treated him coldly.
Chen Liu had now been replaced by a new prefect, and Cheng Yu was temporarily in charge. This was the credit Xu Zhen had given him back then. Although it was only a temporary replacement, Cheng Yu was able to display his talents and quickly settle the chaotic Chen Liu.
After Cao Cao returned to Yanzhou, he immediately went to a newly built temporary government office.
"Yixuan! Wen Ruo!"
"Yuan Rang!"
He shouted a few times. The army had already returned to Yanzhou. There were only 40,000 soldiers left in Xuzhou, and they would definitely have no problem defending the city. As for Yanzhou, there were more than 110,000 soldiers.
After all, with such a huge incident happening in the rear of Yanzhou, it would be difficult for the soldiers under them to continue fighting. Their families were all in Yanzhou, so they naturally could not rest assured.
Soon, a person came out from the inner hall. He was tall, had a beautiful beard, and had delicate features.
Cao Cao could tell at a glance that this was Cheng Yu.
"Zhong De! Are you the one who's collecting Chen Liu now?"
"That's right. My lord has finally returned. Many things have happened in Yanzhou. Let me tell you one by one.”
"Wait!" Cao Cao's face was filled with anxiety." Where's Yixuan? Where is Yixuan?"
"I heard that Lu Bu went to hunt him down, but he only has a few hundred soldiers carrying rations.？”
Cao Cao strode over to Cheng Yu, his expression incomparably anxious. Seeing that Chen Liu was fine and the other counties in Yanzhou were slowly calming down, he felt slightly relieved.
Therefore, there was only one thing that he needed to pay attention to.
That was where Xu Zhen was and whether there was any danger.
" I was just about to talk about this…" Cheng Yu asked someone to bring him a praying mat and gave the seat of honor to Cao Cao. He knelt down at the side and said casually,""Lord Xu is fine, but my lord needs to listen to me slowly.”
" Oh, oh, it's good that you're alright…" Cao Cao calmed down, but he quickly asked,""Where is he now? Is everything alright?"
"My lord, please listen to me."
Cheng Yu's heart ached. He glanced at the opera talent who had followed Cao Cao. Now, he finally understood why the military counselor was so depressed. No wonder he was so angry.
"Oh, oh, go on, go on."
Cheng Yu cleared his throat and said," Lord Xu is currently in Qiao Xi Village. That is a pilot village. He had previously killed a pig in that village. Today, he is going to make Twice-cooked Pork. Therefore, he said that if the lord comes back, he will say that he is studying pigs with Miss Cai Yan. There is no need to worry."”
"Hey!" Cao Cao's face immediately turned bitter. He thought of the good situation in Xu Prefecture and almost broke out of the situation. It was because he was worried about Xu Zhen, but in the end, he was playing with a pig when he came back!
"Are you angry at me?"
Cao Cao's heart skipped a beat.
He muttered.
"Then I don't know. Why is Master Xu angry with you?”
Cheng Yu said honestly.
Speaking of which, Cheng Yu was indeed an honest person. He would not have many schemes when he spoke or did things, nor would he be jealous of others. Even if he was jealous of Xu Zhen, it was pure jealousy.
They were so envious that they were separated from each other.
"Lord Xu has made many arrangements for the Yanzhou matter.”
Cheng Yu began to tell Cao Cao everything that had happened.
Cao Cao was stunned as he listened to the entire process.
Xi Zhicai was the same. Because of the long journey, they could not know what had happened in Yanzhou from Xuzhou. Therefore, they were extremely shocked by Xu Zhen's ability to plan so well.
"In other words, he warned you and Xun Yu. Otherwise, Yanzhou would have been taken over by Lu Bu.”Cao Cao asked in disbelief.
" Yes, that's indeed the case, and it's not just that…" Cheng Yu said with a bitter smile,""Furthermore, Lord Xu personally repelled Lu Bu and captured Lu Bu's subordinate, Zhang Liao, and the traitor Chen Gong.”
" What?!"
Cao Cao had just picked up his teacup when he heard the news.
"Yixuan…he defeated Lu Bu?!”
That was Lu Bu, the person who had rendered all eighteen vassals helpless before Tiger Cage Pass. Only Liu Bei's two brothers, Guan Yunzhang and Zhang Yide, could join forces to deal with Lu Bu.
At that time, it was said that the three heroes were fighting against Lu Bu, but Liu Bei was more angry. He was angry at the eighteen allied armies and was dissatisfied with Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao. Therefore, he had a heart for Lu Bu, so he did not kill him.
At this moment, Cao Cao was stunned.
Xi Zhicai was also stunned.
What kind of person was this?
Xi Zhicai suddenly felt his heart ache for a moment, and then he suddenly covered his hands.
"Ahem…"
He coughed a few times, and his face instantly turned pale.
"Military Advisor!"
Cao Cao quickly turned around, his face full of panic." Advisor Jun, what's wrong?!”
"Cough cough cough!"
Xi Zhicai coughed a few times again. Perhaps it was because he was anxious, or perhaps it was because he was depressed. No one knew what was going on.
" Summon the medical officer!!!"
Cao Cao frowned and was extremely nervous. Xi Zhicai was also an important adviser by his side, so he could not let anything happen to him.
"Call Yixuan back!"
