Chapter 70: Changes in the Central Plains, Gu Family Members Move

It seemed that because he knew how brave Lu Bu was, Yuan Shao spent a lot of money this time.

It is under this circumstance.

Xu You even chose to take the risk and go to visit Lu Bu in person.

Lu Bu's mood has indeed improved a lot recently.

The successive attacks allowed him to vent all the resentment he had accumulated over this period of time.

When he saw Xu You, he looked confident and said with a faint smile: "Why? The traitor Yuan Shao knows that he is no match for me."

"Are you sending an envoy to ask for peace?"

He had a haughty look on his face.

Hearing this, Xu You's expression remained calm. He smiled faintly and said, "The general's courage is unparalleled in the world."

"My lord knows he is no match for the general, but where did this traitor come up with this?"

"Where did you get it from?" Lü Bu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, smirking. "Does the envoy need me to repeat Lord Lu's order to suppress the bandits in Qingzhou?"

Xu You still didn't care at all, but smiled faintly.

"General, this is absurd."

In an instant, Lu Bu's brows furrowed.

Xu You remained calm and continued to speak with a confident look, saying calmly, "Lord Lu said my master was a thief, but when has my master ever done anything rebellious?"

"Since the time of Emperor Ling, the world has been in chaos."

"First, Zhang Jiao started a rebellion. The flames of war spread across the Nine Provinces. It was then that Lord Gu intervened, and this is how the heroes of the Nine Provinces gradually gained fame."

"Does the general really think that the young emperor can truly stabilize the country in such a situation?"

"My Lord Yuan, for the peace and prosperity of the Han Dynasty."

"That's why they chose to make the oldest member of the royal family the emperor. This move is being called a treasonous act. General, don't you find it ridiculous?"

Xu You's expression always looked relaxed and contented.

Lu Bu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and when he looked at Xu You in front of him, anger suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Is this the reason the envoy came here today to tell this to this general?"

He was getting impatient.

For someone like him, he was too lazy to consider the many implications involved.

"General, please be patient. I have come here to convey a decree from the imperial court on behalf of my lord."

Xu You smiled, bowed to Lu Bu, and said, "The court knows that you are brave and valiant, and we do not want you to follow the rebels again."

"I would like to appoint the general as governor of Bingzhou."

Before Xu You could finish his words, Lu Bu's eyes lit up in an instant.

Xu You noticed this in detail, and he felt more confident in his heart, and his smile became even wider. "General, this time my master also asked me to bring some treasures."

He waved his hand, and the people behind him immediately ran out.

After a while.

Several soldiers slowly came in carrying boxes of treasures and opened them in front of Lu Bu.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly changed.

Lu Bu stared at the boxes of treasures with his eyes wide open.

Xu You saw all this very clearly, and the smile on his face became more and more relaxed as he continued to guide her patiently.

"With such courage as the general, why is he sitting with a mere lieutenant?"

"As long as the general can abandon the dark and join the light."

"My lord, Lord Yuan, can ensure that the general becomes the governor of a state and be respected throughout the state."

Lu Bu's expression became more complicated.

What Xu You said completely touched his heart.

Why was he fighting so hard on the battlefield?
Is it just for Ding Yuan’s praise?
The dissatisfaction that had been in my heart for a long time suddenly surged up in my heart.

Lü Bu slowly turned his gaze towards Xu You and asked in a deep voice, "What does Lord Yuan want me to do?"

Although he did not directly agree, the title had already changed from "traitor Yuan Shao" to "Yuan Gong."

Hearing this, the smile on Xu You's face became even more intense.

He glanced around first, then lowered his voice slightly and said, "That depends on how great a feat you want to achieve, General."

As he spoke, Xu You lowered his voice even more and whispered a few words directly into Lu Bu's ear.

In an instant, Lu Bu's expression suddenly became interesting.

"Please think twice, General."

Xu You lowered his head and bowed to Lu Bu again.

He immediately ordered his men to put down the boxes of treasures and head out of the camp.

Lu Bu stood there in a daze.

Looking at Xu You's back, and then looking at the boxes of treasures on the ground, his eyes became more complicated.

"A true man, living between heaven and earth, how can he remain depressed and inferior to others for long?"

He murmured something.

After saying that, he picked up the liquor beside him and drank it again.

That very night, Lu Bu led several personal guards back to the central army.

At this time, Ding Yuan was reading battle reports from various places in the camp by the dim candlelight.

When three parties attacked Ji, we couldn’t just look at the success or failure of his side.

Yecheng is an important town in Jizhou.

Moreover, Yuan Shao now has countless generals under his command, and it is impossible for him to capture the city with just his limited troops.

Although Lu Bu was brave, it was impossible for him to capture the city alone.

At this time, hurried footsteps were heard.

Ding Yuan subconsciously raised his head and saw Lu Bu walking in with a red face.

In the light of the candle, Lu Bu's already red face looked even more creepy.

Seeing this, Ding Yuan frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong, my son?"

"How can I, a man of honor, be willing to be your adopted son?"

Lu Bu stared at Ding Yuan and shouted angrily.

In an instant, Ding Yuan was stunned and stood up subconsciously: "Why did Fengxian change his mind?"

"Humph!"

Without any nonsense, Lu Bu instantly drew the sword from his waist and slashed directly at Ding Yuan.

"Pfft" sound.

Ding Yuan didn't have time to react at all, and he suddenly fell to the ground.
——The situation changed suddenly!
After killing Ding Yuan, he immediately mobilized the Bingzhou troops and killed all those who were dissatisfied with him.

He already had a very high reputation in the Bingzhou army.

Although Ding Yuan did not give Lu Bu any material rewards, he also gave him unlimited trust.

And Lu Bu is really too brave.

These days, his performance on the battlefield has been witnessed by everyone.

Under such circumstances, the entire Bingzhou army actually followed Lu Bu and surrendered to Yuan Shao.

Yecheng.

Even Yuan Shao had not expected that the situation, which was already a desperate situation, would take a turn for the better.

Now more than just one threat has been resolved.

Even his strength has been greatly enhanced.

Compared with Ding Yuan, Yuan Shao was not stingy with his rewards at all. He directly promoted Lu Bu to replace Gongsun Zan as the General Zhenbei, and Zhang Liao and others were also rewarded.

This move instantly won Lu Bu's heart.

Yecheng.

"I have been wandering around for half my life, and I only regret that I have never met a wise master."

"Mr. Yuan is very kind."

"Bu, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Lu Bu knelt in front of Yuan Shao with an excited look on his face, his tone extremely sonorous.

"it is good!"

Yuan Shao laughed heartily, his face also bright red: "To have you, General, is like sweet dew to a drought-stricken seedling!"

As he spoke, Yuan Shao stood up and tried to help Lu Bu up.

He had already witnessed Lu Bu's bravery.

How could he not be excited to get such a powerful general?
But Lu Bu simply waved his hand, stood up, helped him back to his seat, and bowed to Yuan Shao again.

"I will never forget the kindness of Yuan Gong."

"Surrendering now is not enough to show my sincerity." "I have heard that Gongsun Zan is still wreaking havoc in Zhongshan and invading Lord Yuan's territory. If Lord Yuan trusts me, I am willing to be the vanguard and go to fight Gongsun Zan!"

Lu Bu is a person with this kind of personality.

As long as you give him a satisfactory reward, he is willing to fight hard.

Now Lu Bu wants to strive for the position of Bingzhou Mu.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao's expression suddenly became serious. He stared at Lu Bu closely, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.

The strongest force under Gongsun Zan's command was the Three Thousand White Horse Volunteers.

These three thousand men are the elite among the elite cavalry.

The frontal charge is unparalleled in the world.

But thinking of Lu Bu's heroic appearance on the battlefield, Yuan Shao suddenly felt that the White Horse Volunteers were not so invincible.

He was silent for a moment, then nodded immediately: "Okay!"

"Since Fengxian has the ambition to achieve great things, how can I stop him?"

"Don't worry, Fengxian."

"If you can defeat Gongsun Zan, there will be a great reward!"

Hearing this, Lu Bu was overjoyed. He just liked the feeling of being able to achieve great things at any time.

Without any hesitation, he bowed to Yuan Shao again.

"Here!"

This sudden change was beyond everyone's expectations.

Yuan Shao personally led the army, with Lu Bu as the vanguard, and went to Zhongshan again to fight Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan was indeed too confident.

The successive great victories have made him completely lose his sense of awe.

Even though he had received news of the Bingzhou mutiny, he didn't care at all.

It is under this circumstance.

——August, the fourth year of the Hanxing period.

The two sides fought again in Zhongshan.

But this time the result was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

Although the White Horse Volunteers were brave, they could not stop Lu Bu at all.

In this kind of frontal cavalry charge, Lu Bu was like a god of death, making it difficult for anyone to get close to him.

He did it almost single-handedly.

He directly broke through Gongsun Zan's formation and cut off the banner of Gongsun Zan's army among thousands of troops, causing chaos within Gongsun Zan's army.

This one battle wiped out all of Gongsun Zan's previous advantages.

The situation in Zhongshan was completely stabilized.

Afterwards, Yuan Shao took advantage of Gongsun Zan's military uncertainty and launched a counterattack.

——End of August.

The two sides fought again in Lunu.

Gongsun Zan was originally defending the city, but because he could not bear the humiliation, he was enraged by Yuan Shao and led his troops to fight him again.

Another big defeat.

The important town of Lunu was recaptured by Yuan Shao.

The front line shrank again, Yuan Shao recaptured several cities one after another and continued to advance.

——September 15th.

The two sides fought fiercely again, and Gongsun Zan tried his best to defend the city.

However, the two major defeats eventually affected the morale of the army, and the city was captured by Yuan Shao.

The entire Gongsun Zan army was directly pushed back into Youzhou.

How could Yuan Shao miss such an opportunity?
Without any hesitation, he immediately led his army to attack Youzhou, intending to completely destroy Gongsun Zan.

The situation has completely changed.

Yuan Shao, who was originally in a critical situation, turned the situation around within just a few months and once again showed his potential as a tiger swallowing up the world.

The news spread rapidly in all directions like a tide.

Whether it is Lu Zhi and Liu Bei in Qingzhou, or Cao Cao in Yanzhou.

This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.

The situation in the entire Central Plains became even more confusing from this day on.

Liangzhou, Wudu County.

Go to Bencheng.

Shouts rang out everywhere.

The city's general, Qin Yang, holding a long sword, looked at the indifferent Gu Chen across from him and angrily shouted, "Young man, how dare you be so arrogant?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Gu Chen was too lazy to say anything more. Without any hesitation, he rode his horse and charged forward.

Zheng! !

The sound of weapons clashing rang out instantly.

The next moment, Qin Yang, who looked very strong, was shot down by Gu Chen.

The shouts suddenly stopped at this moment.

Everyone stared at this scene in amazement, seeming to find it hard to believe.

But after a moment of silence, the soldiers following Gu Chen burst into thunderous cheers again.

"The General is invincible!!!"

"The General is invincible!!!"

The shouts are breathtaking.

On the other hand, the expressions of the defenders in the city changed drastically, and their eyes were full of fear when they looked at Gu Chen.

"kill!"

Gu Chen didn't say anything. He pointed the spear in his hand, and the army behind him rushed directly towards the huge city in front of them.

After completely stabilizing the situation in Hanzhong and spreading the news of the jade seal.

He led his army directly to Liangzhou to help Huangfu Song pacify Liangzhou.

This was a strategy he and Xun Yu had discussed together, using the power of Hanzhong and Liangzhou to target Si and Bingzhou.

The current situation in the Central Plains is in complete chaos, and this is their best opportunity for development.

In fact, according to Gu Chen's idea, Huangfu Song should have pacified Liangzhou long ago.

He originally wanted to go straight to Sizhou to kill.

But no matter how much we imagine, the reality is that Huangfu Song’s situation in the entire Liang Province is extremely difficult.

This has nothing to do with Huangfu Song's strength.

Liangzhou was already a chaotic place, and the chaos was exacerbated after the return of Dong Zhuo's remnants.

Originally, Gu Wei wanted to make his way by relying on the reputation of the Gu family.

After all, Gu Xi's reputation has always been spread among the Qiang tribe.

But he never expected that a young general named "Ma Chao" would suddenly appear.

This man was not only extremely brave, but also had a great reputation in the entire Qiang tribe and was called "the mighty general".

This naturally affected Huangfu Song's offensive.

It’s not that Huangfu Song hasn’t thought about recruiting him, but he is not Gu Xi after all. How can he possibly make everyone submit to him?
It is precisely because of this.

Huangfu Song had only occupied Hanyang County in the entire Liangzhou area so far, so he had no choice but to let Gu Chen rush to Liangzhou to help him.

The whole city was in chaos.

The death of the general defending the city had a fatal impact on morale.

In less than half a day, the situation was completely settled.

Gu Chen rode his horse directly into the city, and then immediately sent someone to deliver the message to Gu Wei.

Gu Yi has been keeping an eye on Gu Chen.

According to his judgment, even if Gu Chen cannot compare with those top generals now, the gap will not be too far.

And the most important thing is that Gu Chen is still a hexagonal warrior.

Whether in terms of intelligence or command of troops, the current Gu Chen has no obvious shortcomings.

In terms of comprehensive strength, the current Gu Chen is definitely the top commander.

And this is not his limit!

Gu Yi also didn't know how much progress someone like Gu Chen could make in this chaotic world.

But he was certain that if he wanted to accomplish the reforms that Gu Xi envisioned, Gu Chen was the right person to do it.
