Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 172 Dangerous Chess
After the Bingzhou Army's offensive in Julu's siege of the city and the fortified village reached the ears of Yan Liang and Xu You in Maocheng, their reactions were completely different.

Yan Liang was angry and worried, while Xu You calmly listened to the reports of his subordinates.

"Military division, Julu will be captured by the Bingzhou army sooner or later if it continues like this."

Yan Liang's angry voice echoed in the tent, while Xu You said calmly, "General Yan, don't worry, the Bingzhou army won't dare to go deep if they capture Julu."

When he said this, Xu You even pointed to Maocheng on the map, and said in a deep voice, "As long as Maocheng is in hand, Lu Bu will not dare to send troops around."

The small city of Maocheng has indeed formed a vital presence on the map like a nail.

"Maocheng is closely connected to Huguan, which threatens Shangdang. Once the lord returns to the army, it only needs an elite army to cut off the connection between Lu Bujun and Bingzhou."

"Lv Bu will never act without the conquest of Maocheng." At this time, Xu You was full of confidence, and there was a gleam in his eyes.

Hearing Xu You's words, Yan Liang slapped the table angrily, and said in a muffled voice: "Now outside the city, Lv Bu has [-] troops and there are catapults, a powerful siege weapon. How can we fight with more than [-] soldiers and horses?"

There is no reason for Yan Liang to be angry about this matter, [-] of the [-] troops are temporarily recruited civilians, how can they hold on.

If [-] elite soldiers were in hand, Yan Liang still had the confidence to defend them, but the elite were completely annihilated in a battle half a month ago, how could they fight.

At this moment, the camp tent was suddenly thrown open, and a panting and anxious messenger stepped into the tent, knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists with both hands and shouted: "The Bingzhou army has divided its troops."

In an instant, Xu You, who was calm and calm, suddenly changed his face, stood up in a fright, and exclaimed: "Divide the troops, where did the division go?"

The messenger was sweating profusely, but Yan Liang at the side snorted coldly, opened the big tent and walked out.

On the top of the city, Yan Liang and Xu You poked their heads out in panic and looked at the Bingzhou camp in the distance, where the smoke was billowing.

I saw the big flags with the character '高' and the word 'Korean' fluttering in the wind in the smoke and dust, and soldiers and horses began to leave the camp all the way.

After seeing the scene in the distance, Xu You's face was ashen, his eyes fixed on the Bingzhou camp in the distance, and he finally sighed.

"What a Lu Bu, to have such courage."

"What did the military division find?" Yan Liang who was on the side had an anxious look on his face, but he couldn't help asking anxiously after seeing Xu You's face.

Looking at the anxious Yan Liang, Xu You looked over and let out a deep breath, and sighed with a heavy expression: "Han Fu led the army to take a detour to attack other cities in the land of Zhao."

A short sentence made Yan Liang's face change drastically in an instant, he stared at Xu You in horror, and said with an expression of disbelief: "Could it be that Lu Bu is not afraid of Han Fu's self-reliance."

"That's why I say that Lu Bu is an extraordinary man."

Regardless of whether Han Fu is mediocre or not, but where is his identity as Jizhou Mu, leading the army to fight, according to the intelligence report, they are well aware of the casualties of the Bingzhou Army.

The [-] yuan army was also surrendered by Jizhou's local army. From a distance, it can be seen that the army led by Han Fu also has at least [-] people.

At this time, Lu Bu's command never had so many Bingzhou soldiers and horses, and they had to firmly nail Maocheng to death. That is to say, most of the [-] to [-] troops were local soldiers and horses from Jizhou.

Once Han Fu has a different heart, more than half of the troops under his command will definitely mutiny, and even if he let the tiger go back to the mountain, Lu Bu will not be worth the loss.

Xu You's judgment was not wrong. This time, Han Fu was the main general and Gao Shun was the deputy general. The commander had a total of [-] troops, of which [-] were surrendered.

In other words, if Han Fu wants to stand on his own, he has a great chance of success. This is a dangerous move, but it is also a dead move for them.

Han Fu will never take advantage of Yuan Shao's influence, that is, the so-called alienation has no hope of success at all.

Although Yan Liang was a military commander, he also realized the seriousness of the situation. He looked at Xu You with an ugly expression, and wanted to ask Xu You what strategy he had.

But at this moment, Xu You's face turned bright and dark. It's not that he didn't have a plan to make a comeback in his heart, but he didn't dare to use it.

He is not afraid of the defeat of the [-] army, because with the [-] army in his hands, he can recruit again. But if the territory is lost, what awaits him is Yuan Shao's punishment, even alienation and distrust.

He didn't dare to take this responsibility, and he didn't want to take it. For a moment, his heart was full of torment, and Yan Liang beside him also looked sad.

In the big camp of the Bingzhou Army, Lu Bu's face was a little gloomy after returning to the big tent, and his heart was full of fear and hesitation. No one can guarantee whether Han Fu will stand on his own this time.

Don't look at his calm and confident appearance just now, but once Han Fu leads an army to capture a large area of ​​land, there is definitely a great chance that he will be out of control.

People's hearts are the most difficult thing to grasp. Even if Han Fu didn't have such thoughts yesterday, people change with their status and rights, and their mentality will also change.

Xu You in Maocheng had a look of hesitation and apprehension. He had a monstrous plan in his heart to stop Lu Bu and the state army here, but he didn't dare to take the risk, or his identity did not allow him to take the risk.

As the night gradually fell, Xu You's face became more and more serious under the dim candle, and finally he sighed deeply, and threw the bamboo slips in his hand into the brazier cruelly.

The flames rose up and shone on Xu You's gloomy cheeks. The brand new bamboo slips were filled with fresh pen and ink, and on them were letters to his lord Yuan Shao.

It wasn't just Yuan Jun who couldn't sleep all night, it was also the same in the tent of the Bingzhou military camp. Lu Bu's face was cloudy and uncertain, trying to figure out the cowhide map spread out on the desk.

Cities and mountains appeared in his eyes. He looked at the endless mountains and rivers, but he also saw the shadows of swords and swords hidden in the mountains and rivers.

"Feng Xiao, I hope you won't disappoint the general."

Muttering to himself, Lu Bu recalled what Guo Jia said half a month ago, if he wanted to open up the situation in Jizhou before Yuan Shao returned to the army, he had to rely on Han Fu's background in Jizhou.

And it must be Han Fu who has played to the extreme. With an army of [-], it can be said that Han Fu definitely has a chance to turn the tables at this time, and even form a three-hero confrontation in Jizhou.

Dangerous chess!Absolutely risky game!
Han Fu ordered an army of [-] troops to invade Jizhou, which can be said to have driven the Yuan family to a desperate situation. At the same time, Lu Bu also stepped into the edge of a desperate situation.

Nothing else is needed, only Yuan Shao has the courage to give up a place, so that Han Fu can capture a large area of ​​land, and he will not change his mind when his mentality changes.

After all, Lu Bu attacked Jizhou in the name of Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou. If he was not careful, Lu Bu had worked so hard to attack Jizhou for so long, and all of them were wedding dresses for Han Fu.
