Chen arrived at the main tent of the army in Xingyuan.

In the midst of intense preparations for the war, not only Lu Bu's camp was established, but there was also a camp, that of General Chen Dao.

In his large tent of the Chinese army, Chen Dao, who did not have any lieutenants, was alone in front of the map, meditating. Chen Kaige walked in from the outside, then bowed and saluted: "General, the soldiers of Yuan Shao who returned from the Yellow River reported this

, Yuan Shao's main force is not in Yecheng, but on the border between Jizhou and Youzhou, along the Baoding line."

Chen Kaige knelt down and showed Chen Dao instructions on the map.

Chen Dao was silent, and he began to have a desire in his heart to ask the King of Chu for instructions to attack in the direction of Youzhou instead of Yecheng, but he did not say a word.

Chen Kaige continued to remind: "In other words, Yuan Shao's main force in Jizhou is in front of General Lu Bu. Do you think you should report this situation to the king?"

Chen Dao stood up with some concern, then immediately turned around and said: "Your Majesty has decided that I will cross the Yellow River and attack from Yecheng. General Lu Bu will leave Youzhou eastward. Both armies have already moved in. If we make adjustments..."

Chen Kaige reminded him without hesitation: "General, the order given to you by the king is to attack from a long distance and hit the heart of Yuan Shao's main force in Jizhou. What's more, the equipment and elite level of both armies are so good that it is more advantageous for me to attack the main force of Yuan Shao and Jizhou. So.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime battle for the sake of fame, and a general does not have to be a humble gentleman!"

After Chen Dao heard these words, he held the military commander's fist, paused for a moment and gritted his teeth and replied: "Okay, compile the original confession of that Yuan Jun and submit it to the king. It is up to the king to decide!"

In the side hall of Chu Palace.

In the main hall, a map is spread all over the floor, and the lights in the main hall are also so bright.

Nie Zefeng now sat directly on the ground and sat on the map. Nie Zefeng just sat on the ground and read Chen Dao's report and threw it aside. Then he climbed over, lightly drew a circle on the map with a pen, and then said

He looked at the map and said: "Send the order to General Lu Bu's troops and send Chen to his troops. I will instead order Chen to go out of Youzhou to the east and advance towards Youzhou. Let General Lu Bu cross the Yellow River and attack in the direction of Yecheng."

Ma Liang, who was accompanying him on the side, heard Nie Zefeng issue this order and reminded him: "Do I need to explain to the generals that the two armies have changed their combat directions?"

Nie Zefeng waved his sleeves expressionlessly and replied: "No need, it's obvious, I just want to use the most elite troops to fight Yuan Shao!"

After Nie Zefeng finished speaking, with Ma Liang's support, he slowly stood up. After the civil servant next to him recorded the order, he began to order the messenger to be sent forward.

These messengers run on the roads of military operations.

In just a few days, both Lu Bu and Chen Dao received orders from the King of Chu. Lu Bu finally reluctantly carried out the orders of the King of Chu. Lu Bu just wanted to say "no regrets!"

After receiving the order, Lu Bu immediately mounted his horse and personally urged all the troops to change the direction of the battle.

General Lu Bu immediately stood on the roadside and looked at the army changing direction and marching around him.

Zang Ba rode over and asked in confusion: "Brother, no, General, why did you suddenly change direction to Yecheng? My outpost has already reached Xingzhou (today's Xingtai)!"

General Lu Bu replied sternly: "If I ask you to change it, you can change it for me. Where is the nonsense! You Zang Ba committed a crime and performed meritorious service. Last time, we almost lost everything. Our entire Xiliang Army was almost killed. Please do well."

Give me a fight, if you can't fight well, go back and continue to fight for me on the gate, and you won't be allowed to retire!"

After Zang Ba heard these words, he was immediately startled, saluted without saying a word, and turned his horse to run away.

Zhang Bao, who was beside him, was joking. At the same time, he changed the topic and adjusted Lu Bu's mood by saying, "Fortunately, Xingzhou and Yecheng are close to each other, otherwise it would be a bit chaotic."

Lu Bu looked back at Zhang Bao behind him, then reined in his horse, and said: "You are wrong Zhang Bao, the king has a clearer mind than you and I. This kind of adjustment is just a small episode, a little close, but it can inspire

The desire to win on both sides!”

Just after Lu Bu finished speaking, Huang Zhong galloped over and slapped his horse with his whip.

Huang Zhong shouted from a distance: "General, general, the troops suddenly moved, and I, the vanguard general, became the rear general!"

General Lu Bu also said sternly: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, General Huang should be able to adapt."

Huang Zhong shouted a little unconvinced: "The position of my vanguard general was personally arranged by the king. I hope the general will take it into consideration."

General Lu Bu was a little impatient, but also a little scolding and said: "My eastward departure from Youzhou was also arranged by the king in advance. But now the order is: attack from Yecheng. You, General Huang, don't care about it?"

Huang Zhong then asked: "General, do you really want to modify my vanguard general position?"

General Lu Bu looked at the sky in front of him, and then said in a lesson-oriented tone: "Your Majesty uses troops, and if you treat diseases well, the diseases will change, and the medicine will also change -"

In an instant, Huang Zhong's face turned pale and he fiercely pulled out the sword in his hand.

General Lu Bu's face was turned towards Zhang Bao, and he ordered: "Send the order to the entire army to strictly implement the edict, maintain a calm mind, and not engage in any disobedient behavior. The officers and men, no matter whether they are as fierce as a tiger, as stubborn as a sheep, or as ruthless as a wolf, will not listen.

Those who give the order will be beheaded!"

After listening to Lu Bu's order, Huang Zhong's eyes were filled with despair. The sword he held tightly in his hand was sheathed.

In the palace of the King of Chu, Nie Zefeng began to feel a little restless because of the war these days, so Nie Zefeng wandered back and forth in the palace in the past few days. Nie Zefeng, who had not been in the backyard for a long time, suddenly found that the entire palace was somewhat peaceful.

The Chu Palace was originally the Prime Minister's Palace, but Cao Cao was a master who had many wives and concubines and a golden house to hide his beauties. Of course, there were also many beauties left in the palace.

In order to ease Nie Zefeng's mood, Princess Cao Jie organized a banquet. Of course, this banquet was also attended by people elected from the palace.

At this time, the sheng and chimes were blowing, and the musicians were playing.

Before the feast, Nie Zefeng was surrounded by many beautiful women, chatting and laughing.

Nie Zefeng looked around and suddenly made a discovery and asked, "Why, all the beauties in the palace have hostas in their heads? They are all the same!"

The beauties around me looked at each other, and sure enough, everyone had a hosta in their head, and they all pursed their lips and smiled without saying a word.

Of course, Nie Zefeng's mood relaxed a lot at this time, then he leaned back and sighed and said: "There are thousands of beautiful flowers, why do people only have one way of dressing up? It's so boring."

A woman next to him boldly replied: "Your Majesty, you don't know. That time, you took a hairpin from a maid's head to scratch it, and everyone in the palace spread the praise. The sisters were afraid that your Majesty might be itchy again.

From then on, everyone had jade hairpins inserted into their heads, causing the price of jade in the capital to skyrocket."

After hearing this, Nie Zefeng was silent for a long time, and then joked to himself with a hint of irony: "The King of Chu is so thin, so many people in the palace will starve to death. Quick, get all your hostas..."

After Chu King Nie Zefeng ordered them to hand it over, many hostas were pulled out from their heads and handed over.

Nie Zefeng casually picked out this hosta and scratched his ears, then switched to another one to scratch his hair, waited for a short while, and then used another one to scratch the back of his neck, which caused the women to laugh happily.

Nie Zefeng also laughed, and then said: "Look at you smiling like a flock of sheep. I am also a shepherd."

This sentence, of course, caused all the beauties to laugh again.

Nie Zefeng stepped forward to hold the case, and then continued to smile and said: "Since you are so happy, I will simply make you happy today. Guard, go, go to the royal stables and bring some horses, so that I can have some sheep."

'Let's meet my 'God of the Army'!"

After hearing Nie Zefeng's order, the guard went down to deliver the order.

After receiving praise from Nie Zefeng, the prostitutes played harder and harder.

Nie Zefeng, who was in high spirits, naturally became a little more excited after hearing this piece of music. Nie Zefeng's interest greatly increased, which of course also caused the beauties next to him to be happy and excited.

Yi Ji on the side whispered to himself: "The battle on the front line is about to begin. It is really rare for the king to be so relaxed." After Ma Liang heard Yi Ji's words, he reminded Yi Ji: "The king's nervousness has always been manifested by relaxation.

It’s also loose on the outside and tight on the inside.”

After a while, seventeen or eight horse servants, each leading a horse, lined up and passed through the front of the hall to be inspected by Nie Zefeng.

Seeing such a majestic war horse, all the women exclaimed.

When the horsemen passed by, they all secretly peeked at the beauties on both sides, who were as beautiful as flowers and jade. Of course, these beauties only looked at the horses or King Nie Zefeng of Chu. They never praised these humble servants.

Nie Zefeng was observing the horses and the grooms at the same time.

Yuan Mai was also among the grooms, but he was the only one holding the horse and raising his head without squinting at the beauties, who were as beautiful as flowers. Therefore, Yuan Mai stood out.

At this time, Nie Zefeng noticed Yuan Mai.

Nie Zefeng pointed to the ground, and then asked softly: "You, it's you, I have something to ask you..."

Yuan Buying held the horse in his hand, exuding a noble temperament. He bowed respectfully and obeyed orders.

Nie Zefeng asked: "Are you from Jizhou?"

After Yuan Mai heard Nie Zefeng's question, he replied: "Back to your Majesty, this servant is from Jizhou and Hebei."

Nie Zefeng looked at his war horse, and then asked: "You are feeding my 'Juechen', how could they choose you to feed it?"

Yuan Mai explained: "Back to your Majesty, this horse has a habit of kicking people. I like real horses, so the horse supervisor sent my servant to feed it."

Nie Zefeng continued to ask: "Is it still kicking you now?"

Yuan Mai then bowed and saluted and said: "I can forgive it...a horse always has a temper."
