The night was silent until dawn.
When Li Mu was dressed properly and pushed open the door, an uninvited guest had been sitting quietly for a long time.
"Xianmou, did you sleep well last night?" A refined voice sounded.
Li Mu took a closer look and couldn't help but smile.""So it's Sima Xun. Guo Gong retreated?”
"Yes, we set up camp overnight yesterday and set up camp on the other side of the gourd river.”Xun Yu stood up and stared at Li Mu with his wise eyes.
Li Mu clapped his hands and praised," Sima Xun's eloquence is unparalleled. He retreated ten thousand soldiers alone. No one can compare to him in the history of strategists!"”
Xun Yu's stern face was a stark contrast to Li Mu's unruliness.
"You attended a banquet in Guo Gong's camp yesterday?”
"On the way, I couldn't stand the hunger and visited Guo Gong.”
"You're going to Ohno Marsh today?”
"I have nothing to do, so I'm going on a boat."
"I've already ordered that before the lord returns to Juan City, no one is allowed to leave without permission.”Xun Yu's tone was slightly cunning.
Li Mu's expression changed." Sima Xun, I'm the magistrate of Puyang. I can't stay in Juancheng for long."”
"It's fine," said Xun Yu seriously."I've already ordered General Han to return to Puyang. There are county magistrate Jin Wen and General Han here, enough to guard Puyang.”
"Fan County Magistrate Jin Yun has sent Si Ni's head. Lu Bu has been tricked by you into going to Xiaopei, and Guo Gong has retreated.”
"As long as we wait for the lord's return, we will be able to counterattack Zhang Miao and Chen Gong and completely pacify Yanzhou.”
"Xianmou, bear with it for a few days. When the lord comes back, I will allow you to take a vacation to Ohno Marsh.”
Hmph, he actually told Xiahou Dun that even if I, Xun Yu, blocked his way, he would still kill him.
I only impeached you once, and you want Xiahou Dun to kill me?
Under Xun Yu's serious expression, there was a hidden black-bellied look.
"Xun Sima, you are using your position to take revenge!”
"This is Juancheng's temporary war preparation law, which was implemented five days ago. I can't bend the law for personal gain.”
"State your conditions!"
Li Mu interrupted Xun Yu's lie.
What temporary combat readiness order was just an excuse.
Xun Yu had a sly look in his eyes." I caught a cold. Before my lord returned, Juancheng-"
"I know a little about medicine! Coincidentally, I just caught a cold the day before yesterday, but I only used one dose of medicine and my illness was cured. Xun Sima, don't worry, I'm not a quack!”Li Mu fanned himself with an expression that said," We're all strategists, stop pretending."
After staring at him for a long time, Xun Yu was finally defeated.
"Alright then! I'm too tired these few days. Defend the city for me for a day.”Xun Yu sighed.
Ever since Zhang Miao and Chen Gong started the army, Xun Yu had not slept much and was relying on his Qi to hold on.
"Why didn't you say that earlier? Why did you have to beat around the bush with me?”
"If I don't agree, will you order the city gates to be opened?”
"I won't!"
"Do I have a choice?"
After Xun Yu left, Cai Wenji, who had been standing there for a long time, finally arrived for breakfast.
"Lang, there's not a single word of truth in your mouth.”Cai Wenji carefully placed the breakfast on the stone table.
Smelling the fragrance of the corn porridge, Li Mu blew on the hot air and drank the big bowl of corn porridge as if it was drinking water. He chuckled and said,""Wenji, why don't I tell the truth?”
"Are you really going to go boating in Ohno Marsh?" Cai Wenji pursed her lips and smiled.”
Li Mu tapped Cai Wenji's forehead with his index finger.""You're smart."
"Lang, be gentle. It hurts.”Cai Wenji pouted. Her voice was soft and tender, making Li Mu unable to resist the urge to pick it.
Li Mu waved his fan and smiled." The chaos in Yanzhou has not been settled yet. Why should I go to Daye Marsh?" Staying in Juancheng was relaxing and comfortable, so why not?”
"It's just that Cao Gong's courtyard is too simple and crude. Not only are the mosquitoes buzzing all night, but it's also very hot. Compared to the Clear Spring Villa, it's much worse.”
"I'll go to Juan City to take a look later and see if there's a small courtyard suitable for transforming into a small spring house.”
Boating?
If he wanted to sail, he had to wait until the chaos in Yanzhou was settled!
..
Li Mu was relaxed in Juan City, but Chen Gong, who had been defeated by Cheng Yu in Cang Ting Jin, felt much worse.
He thought that Si Yi had taken down Fan County, but he did not expect that Si Yi had already been killed by Fan County Magistrate Jin Yun!
Jin Yun smiled like a tiger. If Chen Gong had not been alert, he would have been ambushed and killed by Jin Yun like Si Ni.
"Damn it!"
"Ever since the army came, everything has been going wrong!”
"With my intelligence, Li Mu defeated me, Cheng Yu defeated me, and now, even a mere Fan County Magistrate almost captured me alive!”
Chen Gong stationed his troops in Yuncheng, northwest of Daye Marsh, and sent people to inquire about the situation in Juancheng.、
Chen Gong was scared out of his wits.
"Guo Gong retreated?"
"Why would Guo Gong retreat?"
"How dare Guo Gong retreat?"
The scout did not dare to answer his three questions and delivered another piece of information that made Chen Gong fly into a rage.
"Governor Zhang said that Wen Hou's troops left Ji Yin County and went straight to Xiao Pei through Shan Yang County. They didn't go to Mount Tai Road at all!”
Chen Gong estimated that Cao Cao's retreat route was through Tancheng, through the Sishui waterway, into Taishan County, and towards Dongping Country. This was the fastest route back to Juancheng.
If they went through Xiaopei, they would need to travel by land through Shanyang County and Jiyin County, and the time would be more than doubled.
Therefore, he had no choice.
When Lu Bu adopted Li Mu's plan and sent a message to Chen Gong to ambush Cao Cao at the entrance of Mount Tai, Chen Gong believed it.
However, Chen Gong had never expected that Lu Bu would not even put on an act and go straight to Xiao Pei!
An ambush at the entrance of Mount Tai?
Lu Bu had eaten too much, so he took a detour to the entrance of Mount Tai.
"This must be Li Mu's evil plan!" Chen Gong thought for a long time and finally understood. He was shocked and furious."Pass down my order. Return to Puyang. I'm going to kill that bastard Li Mu!”
