The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 164
We can only continue to observe Mi Fang in secret. It is not yet the time to act. Once we act, we must deal with it with thunder, otherwise it will only lead to future troubles.

"Zhicai, Xuzhou and Yuzhou have been relatively peaceful recently, have not suffered war, and have developed very well with your great help." Li Yuan suddenly changed the subject, "So I intend to be able to do so before the end of the year, that is, half a month. After marrying Erqiao, what do you think?"

"Then congratulate the lord first." Guo Jia smiled. He knew that Li Yuan would definitely marry Er Qiao, otherwise he would not have spent so much time attacking Lu Bu to rescue Er Qiao. As a subordinate, he could only congratulate. Those who can't say anything can only offend people, and he won't do this kind of thing.

"That's good, you help invite the prefects from all over the world to come to celebrate together, especially Huang Zhong and Chen Qun, you must let them come, if they evade it on business, I will go to them in person." The reason why Li Yuan was so stubborn in inviting Huang Zhong and Chen Qun is because That's because these two people have followed him for a long time, and Li Yuan no longer regards them as subordinates, but as friends.

Xi Zhicai quickly wrote a letter and sent it to the prefects in various places. Li Yuan only planned to invite officials in the power to celebrate the wedding, but the news spread to various places soon.

In Beiping, Gongsun Zan is discussing with his subordinates how to deal with Yuan Shao. In recent years, he has been at war with Yuan Shao. At first, he started to attack and defend each other. But recently, Yuan Shao has gradually suppressed him, making him lose more than he wins. He has realized that he may not be Yuan Shao's opponent. The generals under his command didn't have a good strategy to deal with it. When he was upset, a soldier walked in and said a letter from a spy from Yanzhou.

When Gongsun Zan heard the words, he asked the soldier to come up, and the soldier handed the letter to Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan opened it to read, his face was first surprised, then happy, and then sighed.

"Father, what happened in Yanzhou?" Gongsun Zan's son, Gongsun Xu, asked. In fact, not only him, but also the generals under his command were all curious, wondering why Gongsun Zan's expression changed so quickly.

"Lu Bu is dead." Gongsun Zan only said four words, but all the officials and generals under his command were extremely surprised. Who is Lu Bu? The princes suffered a lot, and they would not have been able to invade Luoyang without Li Yuan, but such a fierce man died, so they couldn't help but be surprised.

"Father, how did Lu Bu die?" Gongsun Xu continued to ask. At such a young age, he naturally admired force, and Lu Bu's martial arts skills are the best in the world, so he was very curious about who could defeat Lu Bu.

"Being personally killed by Li Yuan on the battlefield, Chen Gong and Zhang Miao took advantage of Cao Cao's attack on Beihai to meet Lv Bu. Most of Yanzhou fell. When Cao Cao went back to suppress the rebellion, he joined forces with Li Yuan. Li Yuan used tricks to lure Lv Bu out of the city. In addition, in the outer suburbs of Puyang, there was a battle with Lv Bu's Bingzhou iron cavalry, and in the end Lv Bu was defeated and Zhang Liao was captured." Gongsun Zan gave a general account of the situation in the letter, and since it was an inquiry, he didn't say too much detailed.

"So it was Li Yuan who made the move, and Lu Bu deservedly lost." Tian Yu was not so surprised when he heard that it was Li Yuan who defeated Lu Bu.

"Why did General Tian say that? Could it be that Li Yuan is really so powerful?" Gongsun Xu asked puzzled.

Tian Yu nodded, "Li Yuan is really powerful. On the day when the princes' alliance attacked Hulao Pass, Li Yuan defeated Lu Bu twice. His martial arts and ability to lead the army are rare in the world. Li Yuan and Lu Bu are hard to resist, let alone Said to add Cao Cao."

Because Gongsun Xu was still young, he didn't know Li Yuan well, not to mention him, even the people present didn't know Li Yuan very well. Only Tian Yu and Gongsun Zan were deeply impressed by Li Yuan, because they participated in the competition with Li Yuan at the beginning The battle against Lu Bu, but Tian Yu was just an unknown soldier at that time, and now he has gradually grown into Gongsun Zan's right-hand man.

"Li Yuan had already shown the majesty of a hero at the beginning, and now it seems that it is true. In recent years, he has been invincible and invincible. He has defeated Tao Qian, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu one after another. Xuzhou and Lujiang have also fallen into his hands. I can't wait to catch up with the record."

Gongsun Zan sighed, thinking back then that Li Yuan had only a few thousand soldiers in his hands, and he gave the thousand white horses as a gift, but now that Li Yuan has already occupied Yuzhou and Xuzhou, he has at least six to seventy thousand soldiers under his command. There are countless generals who are good at fighting. On the other hand, he has been competing with Yuan Shao in the past few years, but the territory and troops are getting smaller and smaller, which makes him feel ashamed.

"Father, I heard that you once joined hands with Li Yuan to attack Lu Bu, and you gave him a thousand white horse Yicong afterwards. I wonder if there is such a thing?" Gongsun Xu asked.

"It's true." Gongsun Zan had a very good relationship with Li Yuan at the beginning. He admired Li Yuan's talent very much. In fact, he was already impressed by Li Yuan's martial arts and ability to command troops. At that time, who dared to use infantry to resist Lu Bu? Bingzhou iron cavalry, but Li Yuan did it.

"Since Li Yuan is so powerful, and my father has been kind to him and has a good relationship with him, why don't I send someone to ask Li Yuan for help and ask him to help send troops to attack Yuan Shao, so that we can attack Yuan Shao together with our army." Gongsun Gongsun continued to suggest.

Gongsun Zan couldn't help shaking his head when he heard the words, thinking that Gongsun Xu was still too young to see clearly the current situation, and said, "It's impossible for Li Yuan to send troops to help."

"Why didn't you send troops to help?" Gongsun Xu asked.

"Xu'er, you have to know that Xuzhou is not close to Hebei, and there is Cao Cao between Yuan Shao and Li Yuan. If Li Yuan wants to come to Hebei, he must ask Cao Cao for a way, and then cross the river from Puyang or Jibei, but Cao Cao He would easily agree to let Li Yuan cross the river." Gongsun Zan patiently explained that it would be fine if Puyang and Jibei were Li Yuan's territories, but they were Cao Cao's territories, so how could Li Yuan live by.

Gongsun Xu thought about it and it was true, but he still didn't give up and said: "Father, Li Yuan just teamed up with Cao Cao to defeat Lu Bu not long ago, so their relationship should be very close. Excuse me, and I heard that Li Yuan is a very affectionate and righteous person, based on the friendship between father and him, I think he is still very likely to send troops to help."

Gongsun Zan was stunned for a moment, feeling that what Gongsun Xu said had some truth, he turned to Tian Yu and asked, "Guorang, what do you think of Xu'er's words?"

"Although what Gongsun Gongzi said is unlikely to happen, it's okay for us to try." Although Tian Yu felt that it was unlikely that Li Yuan would send troops, they were already at a disadvantage in fighting Yuan Shao. Not to mention whether the invitation to Li Yuan would be successful, try to always It is possible, and if it is really successful, it will definitely be a big help.
