Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 824: Fake Defeat 2
Five days later, Gongsun Xu received Gao Shun's good news in Beihai. Because of the successful implementation of the fraudulent plan, Yuan Tan was finally fooled. The contradiction between him and Gao Lan's quality inspection form became more prominent. There was a disagreement, and Yuan Tan finally ordered Gao Lan to be dismissed, resulting in a vacancy in Chengyang's defense. Gao Shun immediately organized troops to attack Chengyang after learning the news from the spies in the city. As a result, Yuan Tan was unable to command the army and eventually led to the defeat.

However, because there were too many defenders in Chengyang, Gao Shun was unable to wipe out the enemy in a short time. Although Yuan Tan fled, Gao Lan stepped forward at a critical moment and led more than 3 veterans to fight and retreat. In the end, they successfully evacuated Chengyang. After this battle, except for the 1 people taken away by Yuan Tan, the 3 people taken away by Gao Lan, and the tens of thousands of soldiers who fled in the chaos, the remaining 2 yuan troops were all Trapped, eventually chose to surrender.

After hearing the news, Gongsun Xu was naturally overjoyed. In less than a month, he took down the entire Qingzhou, forcing Yuan Shao to have a hard time returning home, and successfully attacked Yuan Shao's strength. With such a record, Gongsun Xu naturally I like to see it, but then, if Gongsun Xu wants to continue to advance south, it will be more troublesome. Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others have deployed large troops on the border of Xuzhou in order to prevent the northern army from going south.

Cao Cao's sudden intervention disrupted Gongsun Xu's plan. After discussing with the counselors, Gongsun Xu finally gave up his plan to continue going south. Although he has enough strength to fight Cao Cao and Yuan Shao at this moment, he does not have this Necessary, he has an absolute advantage, as long as he continues to manage Qingzhou well, then he can crush all opponents with the strong economic strength of Northern Xinjiang. It is actually very unwise to fight like this now.

Cao Cao came forward to stop it, and Liu Xie also issued an imperial decree telling Gongsun Xu not to go south. Other princes in the world condemned Gongsun Xu one after another. Gongsun Xu ignored all the accusations and provocations.

Each of these princes is a fool. When Gongsun Xu stopped his pace going south, they also chose to keep their mouths shut. After all, it is not a good thing to anger Gongsun Xu.

No permanent friends, only permanent interests.Cao Cao's focus has now shifted to how to deal with Yuan Shu, who proclaimed himself emperor. Most of Xuzhou's territory is occupied by Yuan Shao. Regarding this situation, Cao Cao didn't say much. After all, he needs a buffer zone. It is best for Yuan Shao to resist the Northern Frontier Army. but.

When Liu Xie repeatedly issued edicts declaring that Yuan Shu was a traitor, the princes of the world had no choice but to respond. Gongsun Xu not only verbally supported Liu Xie this time, but also conducted a military trade with Cao Cao.It has to be said that by doing this, Gongsun Xu has begun to give up Yuan Shu as an ally.

"Power really makes a person lose himself." In Jizhou, Beijiang military camp, Gongsun Xu's big tent, at this moment Gongsun Xu is discussing matters with the generals, together with Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and others are also in the tent at the moment.

More than four months have passed since the battle in Qingzhou. Gongsun Xu has married Lu Qiling, and most of Lu Bu's military power has also been confiscated by Gongsun Xu. Apart from three thousand soldiers, Lu Bu has no other military power at this moment. Zhang Liao and others belong to Gao Shun, Guan Yu and other generals were restrained, and every time they saw Lu Bu, they would just give a military salute, and Lu Bu knew in his heart that the former subordinates were now colleagues.

"After Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, he went against the law and acted against the law. At this moment, the sky is full of anger and grievances." Gongsun Xu put down another piece of information and sighed: "Yuzhou, Yangzhou and other places that used to be rich are now full of hungry people, but Yuan Shu people don't want to repent. Blindly pursuing his own luxurious life, alas, he is completely lost."

"Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu, hehe, it's all like this." Lu Bu suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly: "At first I thought Dong Zhuo would wholeheartedly support His Majesty, but who knew that after he gained supreme power, he would have no scruples and act according to his own ideas. , For his own selfish desires, he was able to slaughter thousands of people. In order to satisfy his desires, he actually stayed in the palace overnight and raped the palace maids.

Alas, the current Yuan Shu is not much different from the original Dong Zhuo. The Xiliang army became stronger because of Dong Zhuo alone, and finally fell apart because of Dong Zhuo alone. This is fate. It is best not to touch things that do not belong to you. Otherwise, I will definitely let my head be bloodied and my body will be decapitated. "

"Power can make a person expose all his shortcomings, including his own desires." Gongsun Xu nodded and smiled: "Forget it, let's not talk about this matter for now, we must intervene in Yuan Shu's matter, Cao Cao is now entangled with Liu Bei , Liu Biao, Sun Ce and other princes besieged Yuan Shu. Among them, Sun Ce did not send troops, and Liu Bei assembled all his troops in the northern part of Yuzhou. Liu Biao provided Cao Cao with a lot of food and grass.

Everyone in the world is watching this battle now. If our northern border army does not send troops, it will definitely make people look down on us. Therefore, this time, no matter what, we cannot stand by and watch. "

"My lord, how many troops do you plan to send?" Zhao Yun cupped his hands and asked, "If our army goes south on a boat and rides north, we may not be able to adapt to the climate. It may be okay to attack Yuzhou. If we enter Yangzhou, our cavalry will definitely be difficult to deploy. I'm afraid it will suffer due to terrain restrictions."

"I've also thought of this." Gongsun Xu smiled and said, "I plan to send [-] troops, all cavalry, and you will lead the troops to the south. In addition, I plan to transfer Zhang Liao, Zang Ba and other generals to assist you. You are the general of the army. Promoted to deputy, Chen Gong will be the military adviser, and you can choose the rest of the generals yourself, prepare for it, and send troops to the south in half a month."

"No." All the generals whose names were named stepped forward to take orders. After a period of running-in, Lu Bu's generals gradually integrated into the system of the Northern Frontier Army. Gongsun Xu had no prejudice against them. Every opportunity, Gongsun Xu will give them enough opportunities.

"There is a small problem in Bingzhou." Gongsun Xu looked at the map and said with a sneer: "Oh, national integration will always cause friction, and the price of friction is blood and life. If it is not handled well now, it may affect the With the implementation of my northern Xinjiang policy, I have to go to Bingzhou.

Father-in-law, you should go back with me too. Counting the days, I haven't been back to my hometown in Bingzhou for a long time. The matter this time is not troublesome, but maybe there will be a time when you need to come forward. "

"Oh, hahahaha,,,,,," Lv Bu looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Is there anything that can be difficult for you, is it possible that you still want to use my reputation to deceive you, anyway, I will accompany you back to Bingzhou this time , I have recently learned about martial arts, and I need to retreat for a while, and going home is the best choice.

Hehe, Zilong, at most three years, at least a few months, I will come to you to compete with you when I leave the customs, I hope you will not let me down, hahahaha,,,,,, "

As soon as Lu Bu said these words, everyone was amazed. At his level, he actually had a feeling again. Wouldn't Lu Bu's strength have to be raised to another level...
