Chapter 902 Deployment
"Gongtai, tell me about the next battle plan and arrangement."

Sitting on the seat, Lu Bu flexed his shoulders twice, and said calmly with his eyes.

Chen Gong nodded, and continued to say: "In the past few days, I have discussed with the lord many times, and after many adjustments, I have made the following arrangements."

All the generals in the hall immediately held their breath and listened intently.

"Among them, Qu Yi is the general of Beizhong Lang, and Zhenwu Xiaowei Zhang He is the deputy, responsible for blocking Yuan Shao in the Dongjun area." Chen Gong finished the first deployment, but no one in the hall responded.

Yan Liang's vanguard army had already approached the border of Yanzhou, and Qu Yi was busy digging and building fortifications in Fanyang, so he was not present for today's discussion.Lu Bu didn't blame him for this, he sent a letter early to convey the matter to the Fanyang camp.

"Zhang Liao is the general of Nanzhong Lang, and Xu Shu is in the military, leading an army of [-]. Your strategic stronghold is the Mausoleum south of Chenliu, and is responsible for resisting Zhang Xiu from Nanyang."

"The last general takes orders!"

Zhang Liao and Xu Shu went out to hold fists at the same time, counting from the time when they were young commanders in the army, they cooperated tacitly with each other many times, so they could be regarded as old partners.

Xu Shu also changed from a young man who was obsessed with kendo to a calm, wise and calm young man.

"Ma Chao is the general of Dongzhong Lang, Pang Ji is in the military, and Pang De is the deputy. He leads an army of [-]. From Dan County to Shansang, a fortification is built to block Yuan Shu's Huainan army."

"The last general takes orders!"

Ma Chao and Pound responded in earnest, and Pang Ji nodded accordingly.

"General Gao Shun, you will lead your troops to defend the Jingzhou army from the south in the Jianping-Taiqiu area."

"Order!"

Gao Shun's tone was dull, but it gave people a particularly reassuring sense of security.

"The other generals who have not received the order will all follow the lord to march eastward, confront Cao, Liu, and Gongsun Zan from the front, and wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop!"

"Here!"

The generals roared with enthusiasm and high morale.

In addition to these deployments just now, Lu Bu also asked Sima Yi to go to Bingzhou with his autographed letter, ordering the new Bingzhou shepherd Liu Yu to gather the soldiers of Bingzhou from now on and station them in the northern part of Montenegro, and wait for the right time to attack Youzhou.

Without Gongsun Zan sitting in Yijing, with the prestige Liu Yu had accumulated in Youzhou before, regaining Youzhou would not be easy, at least not too difficult.

Then Lv Bu sent people to Hanzhong and asked Zhang Lu to send troops. After Hanzhong passed Shangyong, he could go straight to Nanyang.

In the end, Lü Bu sent people to Jiangdong and ordered Huwei General Sun Ce to send troops to attack Huainan. If Yuan Shu couldn't resist, he would definitely withdraw his troops and come back for rescue.In this way, Yuan Shu's bandit army was also defeated.

The only place that was relatively tight in the early stage may be the northern part of Dongjun where Qu Yi is located. If he can persist until Liu Yu breaks through Youzhou, Yuan Shao will definitely have to send troops back to prevent Liu Yu from invading Jizhou southward.

In this way, several forces disintegrated, and Lu Bu could just deal with the Cao-Liu coalition forces in the east with peace of mind.

"My lord is wise!"

All the generals were convinced after listening.

…………

A few days later, Pengcheng.

The three armies of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Gongsun Zan converged here, as did the leader Liu Bian.

In the huge meeting hall, there are only a few people.

Liu Bian is in the middle, Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan are on the left, and Cao Cao is on the right.

Liu Bei, who has always been approachable, had a rare gloomy expression today, tightly clutching the seized document in his hand, and the raised veins on the back of his hand were visible to the naked eye.

In the call-to-action, the emperor scolded them for being wolf-hearted and in vain as ministers of the Han Dynasty, but they acted against the imperial court, and defined them all as rebels, calling on the people of the world to attack them together.

Among them, only Liu Bei cares about fame the most.

"Xuande, don't be angry. Look at Liu Jingsheng, who has been removed from the clan. Do you think he said anything?" Cao Cao, who was sitting opposite, comforted him.

In Cao Cao's eyes, Liu Bei is a person who has perseverance, ambition, and is a person who can do great things, but his courage is a little bit weak, and his heart is not cruel enough.Therefore, I often feel very melancholy because of my reputation.

No, Xuzhou has been a herdsman for several years, but he still hasn't completely subdued those local local families.

Even if Xuzhou suffered from military disasters in previous years and the population loss was severe, 10,000+ soldiers and horses can still be gathered together.As a result, Liu Bei spent all his money and brought in [-] soldiers.

To put it bluntly, I still don't want to tear myself apart with those big families.

If it were me, it would probably take half a month at the most to gather all the soldiers and horses, and make these aristocratic families dare not put one in the ass.

Cao Cao thought so, but it is a pity that Xuzhou is not owned by him, and Liu Bei is also very popular in Xuzhou.

"Xuande, what Cao Mengde said is correct. As long as this battle can be won, why are you still worried about the identity of the clan of the Han family?" Gongsun Zan patted Liu Bei's shoulder and said with a square face.

Originally, Gongsun Zan didn't intend to come to this muddy water, but Liu Bian went to Yijing to look for him, and told him that his cousin Gongsun Fan died in Bohai Sea, and it was Lu Bu who secretly ordered someone to do it, in order to separate Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao. make them consume each other.

Gongsun Zan was fierce by nature, and when he heard about this, he thought about it, and it seemed that this was really the case.

When this happened, Li Ru tried to persuade himself, but Gongsun Zan was angry at that time, and with Chang Shi Guan Jing adding fuel and jealousy, Gongsun Zan could not listen to it.

Now thinking about Liu Bian's words, the more Gongsun Zan thought about it, the more he felt that Liu Bian was right, and ninety-nine percent of this matter was set up by Lu Bu.

Therefore, after negotiating peace with Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan led his cavalry southward to seek an explanation from Lu Bu.

In fact, Liu Bian has no definite evidence to prove that Gongsun Fan was killed by Lu Bu, and it is not impossible to say that Cao Cao, the shepherd of Yanzhou at that time, sent people to do it.

But in order to win over Gongsun Zan to deal with Lv Bu, Liu Bian put the matter on Lv Bu as a matter of course, and finally persuaded Gongsun Zan to send troops.

After hearing Gongsun Zan's words, Liu Bei also found a way for himself, and his mood gradually stabilized: "This edict is not what the emperor wanted, it must be Lu Bu who coerced the emperor and forced him to do this!"

"What Xuzhou Mu said is even true."

Liu Bian nodded, and said seriously: "So what we want to attack is not the imperial court, but Lu Bu!"

"As for Lu Bu's proclamation, I also ordered people to write a new letter to punish the thieves, denouncing Lv Bu for coercing the emperor, and asking the righteous people in the world to join us in punishing the country's thieves!"

Anyway, Liu Bian also has a jade seal in his hand. He claimed to the outside world that he had obeyed the emperor's secret edict, and no one could find fault with him.

The two sides began to scold each other. Lu Bu said that Liu Bian was a traitor, while Liu Bian said that Lu Bu threatened the emperor and wanted to change the dynasty.

It's like you say 'loyal ministers don't serve two masters', but I say 'good ministers choose masters and serve', each has its own reasons, and no one can judge clearly.

In the end, it still depends on whose fist is hard enough.
