The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 289 Success depends on what he says

What Xu You said, he hesitated to say what Feng Ji said.

He has never thought highly of Lu Bu, thinking that the most powerful general in the world at that time is just a bereaved dog attached to Cao Cao.

The Yuan family in Hebei still has a long way to go in their future struggle for hegemony.

In Feng Ji's view, the only opponent they faced was Cao Cao who was entrenched in Henan.

As long as Cao Cao is defeated, and then send troops to attack Lu Bu, it should not cost much money and manpower.

But what Xu You said made Feng Ji hesitate.

He asked Xu You suspiciously, "What Ziyuan means is that if we attack Cao Cao, Lu Bu and Cao Cao will fight against Hebei together?"

"Exactly." Xu You replied: "Lv Bu has had a hard time these years, especially after the First World War in Xiapi. It is not easy for him to have a place to stay. He has occupied Xuzhou, of course he wants to keep it. If the lord is really To crusade against Cao Cao, Lu Bu will definitely raise troops to fight against Hebei. After all, in her opinion, Hebei is still far stronger than Cao Cao's place."

Staring at Xu You without blinking, Feng Ji's face was even uglier than before.

He asked Xu You again: "If we decide to attack Lv Bu, wouldn't Hebei be more troublesome if Cao Cao came from behind to attack us?"

"So when talking with Guo Fengxiao, we need to use some strategies." Xu You said: "They sent people over to ask for alliances. Of course we can propose, and they send troops to attack Xuzhou first. If Cao Mengde refuses, we just wait and see and find a suitable one. When the time comes, send troops south and defeat Cao Mengde in one fell swoop. Taking Lu Bu at that time will be much better than declaring war on Cao Mengde directly and letting Lu Bu send troops to cause chaos behind us."

Holding his chin, Feng Ji thought for a moment before asking Xu You: "What you said sounds reasonable, but I always feel that something is not quite right."

"What's wrong is that Cao Mengde is strong now, while Lu Bu is relatively weak." Xu You said: "Yuan Tu must think that it is more likely to win by defeating the strong side first, and then attacking the weaker side."

Fengji nodded: "Ziyuan still understands me."

"But I think that if the plan is really based on Yuan Tu, Hebei will be in danger." Xu You said: "We all know that the strong side is relatively difficult to attack. When we crusade against the Cao family, Lu Bu didn't need to do too much. If there are too many things, he only needs to send some troops to rob food and grass on the way, and it will not take long for our army to be short of food."

When Xu You was talking, Feng Ji didn't interrupt, but just listened silently, thinking about what to do in order to maximize the interests of the Yuan family.

Feng Ji is not the same as Xu You.

Although he has an almost obsessive pursuit of power, he never exchanges power for money.

So when Xu You came to meet Feng Ji, he didn't bring any gifts.

If he really brought a gift, he might even throw people out of the house along with the gift.

The best way to convince Fengji is to make him feel that sticking to the original view will be extremely detrimental to the Yuan family.

Feng Ji frowned and did not speak.

Xu You went on to say: "Yuan Tu and I are both people who have led soldiers, and we both know what food and grass mean to soldiers. When we were attacking Cao Mengde, if Lu Bu took the opportunity to cut off our army's food supply, this battle But it’s bound to fail.”

"I'm still worried that when we attack Lu Bu, Cao Mengde will attack our army from behind." Feng Ji said, "You know, the real trouble for Hebei now comes from Henan."

"If Cao Mengde wanted to attack from behind, he would not have dared to let Guo Fengxiao come here." Xu You replied, "Guo Fengxiao came to Yecheng because of Cao Cao's sincerity."

Staring at Xu You for a while, Feng Ji asked, "Tell me the truth, Ziyuan, did you see Guo Fengxiao, and he convinced you?"

"I see, but he can't convince me." Xu You smiled, and said to Feng Ji: "Actually, I have long believed that the crusade against Lv Bu was imperative, and it was only because Yuan Tu strongly advocated the crusade against Cao Cao that he did not join the court. Present my opinion at the meeting."

"It seems that I owe you a favor." Feng Ji said to Xu You: "Go and tell Guo Fengxiao that I know he is not sick, but I was worried that he would not get any benefits from me, so I found a Pretend to be sick and disappear. If he intends to join forces with the Yuan family to attack Lu Bu, I will wait for him at home tonight. If he is not sincere, please just lie down in the building."

"Yuan Tu also agrees that Lu Bu should be attacked first?" Xu You didn't answer immediately, but asked Feng Ji.

"You have already stated the pros and cons, so I still can't see the situation clearly?" Feng Ji said, "I invited him here just to ask how much benefit we can gain in Hebei after defeating Lu Bu."

"Since Yuan Tu is interested in negotiating with him, I'll go and invite him here." Feng Ji let go, and Xu You immediately went down to invite Guo Jia.

At this moment, Guo Jia was also talking with Xu Chu in the library building about what would happen in the near future.

Sitting opposite Guo Jia, after listening to his analysis, Xu Chu asked in surprise: "Feng Xiao is so sure that Feng Ji will invite you over overnight? You know, I fell on the steps at that time, but there will be no mistakes at all. .”

"When we came to Hebei, we didn't face any fools." Guo Jia said, "If Feng Ji didn't have some real skills, how could he gain a firm foothold in Hebei? I pretended to be sick, how could he not see it?" ?”

"Since we know that Fengji can see it, why does Fengxiao do that?" Xu Chu said with a blank face, "Wouldn't this be causing unnecessary trouble for myself?"

"If I don't pretend to be sick, there will definitely be a debate when I go to see him." Guo Jia said: "Whether you win or lose, it will not be a good thing for the lord. I suddenly fell to the ground in front of Fengji's house, and the news spread to Fengji. , he will definitely guess that I will find someone to be a lobbyist. Whether you can persuade Fengji, the important thing is not you and me, but who the lobbyist we invite is. "

"I think that Xu You is just a villain who is greedy for money." Xu Chu shook his head and said with contempt on his face: "A character like this is probably an embarrassment."

"Zhongkang underestimated Xu Ziyuan too much." Guo Jia said with a smile: "Although he is greedy for money and profit, he is by no means incapable. The reason why I gave him a generous gift is because I believe he can handle things well."

Xu Chu still didn't quite believe Guo Jia's words, since the moment he met Xu You, he had never had the slightest liking for him.

He was thinking about what to say, when the guard outside the door reported: "Sign up to Duke Guo, Duke Xu of Hebei is asking to see you outside."

"Here we come." Guo Jia smiled slightly at Xu Chu: "Success or failure depends on what he says when he comes in."
