Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 267: The First Celebrity in the Three Kingdoms! (Thanks to Mu Cheng, I won’t let you rub my flesh, but I support you with the monthly ticket~)
After listening to Lu Meng's speech, everyone present was surprised.

Lu Bu also narrowed his eyes, feeling a little surprised that Lu Meng mentioned Shi Xie at the end.

But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that what the other party said did make sense.

Although Shi Xie held on to Jiaozhou, he was actually in a state of hegemony in Jiaozhou!
This is enough to show that Shi Xie actually has considerable ambitions.

However, it is not easy for Jiaozhou to expand.

In addition to being too remote and having poor economic development, its population and military strength are far less than those of other states.

So in Lu Bu's view, as long as he did not show a trend of defeat, Shi Xie would most likely not take the initiative to attack.

Therefore, whether Shi Xie is an enemy or a friend depends entirely on whether Lu Bu can withstand the attack of the "Three Lius' Allied Forces"!

In addition to Shi Xie, Lu Meng also had very sharp views on Liu Mao and Liu Bei's army.

There is no need to say much about Liu Mao.

Just talking about Liu Bei's army, as the most powerful opponent in Lu Bu's mind, Zhuge Liang has been trying to find ways to break up the relationship between him and Liu Xie.

At present, it has indeed fulfilled the other party's wish.

But under Zhuge Liang's constant instigation, Liu Bei would certainly not be truly loyal to the Han Dynasty.

Zhuge Liang would certainly take advantage of this opportunity to allow Liu Xie and his Lu Bu to deplete each other's military forces as much as possible.

Liu Bei's army gained the most benefits at the lowest cost!

Under such circumstances, Liu Bei would certainly not use his full strength to attack them.

In addition, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were eyeing the country covetously from the north.

Apart from Liu Mao, who had no worries, Liu Xie and Liu Bei would not and could not attack them with all their strength!
The attack may be fierce, but it is never as exaggerated as imagined.

After Lu Meng's explanation, the expressions of Lu Bu's men were obviously much more relaxed than before.

After calming down, my thoughts began to become clear.

Shu Zuo Yu stood up and said:

“Since we know that the enemy may launch an attack at any time, we should respond immediately.

"On Liu Mao's side, General Zhang Liao is guarding the two counties of Ba and Wuling, so it is unlikely that Liu Mao will achieve anything.

"There is also the governor Zhang Lu guarding Hanzhong, which is extremely difficult to capture. The emperor has suffered a loss here before and will not make the same mistake again.

“Therefore, the main attack targets of the imperial army should be the three counties of Chenliu, Yingchuan and Nanyang!

"Chenliu County is too deep in the enemy's territory and is attacked from three sides.

"Therefore, I suggest that General Hao Meng, who is guarding Chenliu County, immediately lead the army to withdraw from Chenliu and guard Yingchuan together with General Wei Xu!"

Lü Bu thought it made sense and was about to agree when Gong Cao Bu Zhi stood up and retorted:

“It would be a waste to withdraw from Chenliu for nothing.

"If the enemy wants to attack Chenliu, they must first cut off the adjacent land between Yingchuan and Chenliu.

“Why don’t we set up an ambush here and wait for the enemy to arrive?
"When the time comes, Yingchuan and Chenliu counties will attack the enemy from both sides and will surely cause a great defeat.

"Then we can gather the Chenliu army to Yingchuan, so that it won't be a waste."

And so it went, as more and more people expressed their opinions.

The atmosphere in the meeting hall gradually changed from heavy to lively.

Lu Bu silently wrote down the useful plans these people said, and finally summarized them to everyone:

"I have written a letter to you, forming an alliance with Yuan Shao's army to fight against the Three Lius' coalition.

"Secondly, according to what Yu Zhongxiang said, we should set up a heavy ambush on the border between Yingchuan and Chenliu Prefecture and fight back when the enemy arrives.

"Finally, since we still cannot predict the movements of Liu Bei's army, we will follow the old method and respond to all changes with the same approach!

"Stand down heavily guarded positions in the four counties of Runan, Jiujiang, Xiapi and Guangling." These four counties were the only ones Liu Bei's army could capture.

“As for who to send to guard the garrison, I have my own ideas.

"You all, please step back and take a rest."

After dismissing everyone, Lu Bu immediately wrote a letter and ordered someone to send it to Jizhou to form an alliance with Yuan Shao.

But halfway through the journey, the messenger suddenly returned and brought Yuan Shao's envoy with him, expressing his willingness to take the initiative to form an alliance with their side.

Lu Bu readily agreed and made an agreement with Yuan Shao's envoy:
If Liu Xie and Liu Bei's army goes out, we can take the opportunity to attack their rear!
Lu Bu did this to prevent Shi Xie from attacking him from behind in the future.

Zhu Huan was secretly sent to lead an army to defend the southern border of Jingzhou and Yangzhou.

Afterwards, Lu Bu transferred all the remaining troops that could be mobilized to garrison in various counties on the northern border.

In addition, Lu Bu appointed Wei Yan as the leader of the second special forces "Iron Pagoda" and Han Dang as the deputy leader.

And let the two of them train this powerful force as soon as possible and practice the specific content of the formation.

I hope that in the near future, this special forces unit can deal a fatal blow to the enemy on the front battlefield!
At the same time, the women's army recruited by Lu Lingqi had reached 500 people, gradually reaching a certain scale.

Although they are not yet fully developed, under the personal guidance of Lu Lingqi, they are much stronger than ordinary soldiers.

As a surprise force, it may have unexpected effects in the future!

Afterwards, Lu Bu sent people to visit the aristocratic families in Chenliu County and Yingchuan County to build closer relations with them.

It’s a pity that Chen Qun of the Yingchuan Chen family had already been recruited by Liu Bei.

Zhong Yao from the Zhong family was taken away by Liu Xie.

Most other well-known talents were also poached by various forces.

The remaining talents were not famous enough, so Lu Bu did not force them.

They just secretly sent people to monitor these noble families to prevent them from getting too close to hostile forces...

Of course, in addition to these aristocratic families, there is also a well-known figure whom Lu Bu decided to visit in person.

If I can convince the other party to work for me, my prestige as Lord Chu will be raised to a higher level!

Before we knew it, it was the second year of Xingping, which was January 195.

It has been two and a half years since Lu Bu traveled here.

On this day, Lu Bu led an army of 10,000 to Yangdi County, the capital of Yingchuan County.

After handing over the army to Wei Xu, he took the eloquent Huan Jie with him to the nearby Baishan Mountain to look for the most famous scholar in the Three Kingdoms!

After all, top talents such as "Wolong" and "Fengchu" were discovered and recommended to others by this famous scholar.

According to historical records, this famous scholar liked farming and raising silkworms, and most likely lived on this mountain.

However, Lu Bu, Huan Jie and a dozen elite soldiers searched the mountain for a whole day but could not find any trace of this man.

It was almost dusk.

Just when Lu Bu was about to lead everyone down the mountain and prepare to look for it again tomorrow, the cry of crows suddenly came from the sky!

Lu Bu raised his head, but did not see any birds.

Just when he thought the sound just now was just an illusion, he lowered his head and suddenly found that Huan Jie and others were gone!

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, looking at the surroundings that were both familiar and unfamiliar, and vaguely felt that something was wrong.

But soon, he calmed down.

If it's not haunted, then there must be some clues behind this incident!
Lu Bu's eyes swept through the tall hemlock trees around him.

The invincible eyesight instantly locked onto a black crow standing on a branch!
