Rebirth of Lu Bu, the tyrant of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 243, Wen Ruo's plan, the chaos in Yanzhou
In Luoyang City, Cao Cao occupies the land of Si Li, owns five counties including Hedong County, Pingyang County, Jianxing County, Hanoi County, Hongnong County, Henan Yin County and one county, governs 61 counties, and supports 20 soldiers.

It is even more that the emperor used the command of the princes, the official worshiped the prime minister, and was assisted by Xun Yu, with the help of the queen mother behind him, so powerful that no princes in the four directions dared to contend with him.

The land of Yanzhou also began to turbulent.

Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, was a clan member of the Han Dynasty, the son of Liu Yu, and the brother of Liu Yao, but his power was weak and he had no strong soldiers in his hands.

Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, and Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, both stood on their own and refused to accept Liu Dai's command.

Cao Cao showed a hint of arrogance on his face, "Wen Ruo, right now our Sizhou army is strong, with 20 soldiers, and there is no clear master in Yanzhou. We can march into Yanzhou and seize Liu Dai's six counties and two countries. , to expand our military power."

Xun Yu said, "My lord, Yanzhou is naturally to be taken. My lord is currently occupying the land of Sizhou, and there are many powerful soldiers and powerful generals. You can take Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou first. The world is ten, and we have already occupied half of it.

But at present Chenliu's prefect Zhang Miao and Dongjun's prefect Qiao Mao are self-reliant, with tens of thousands of troops, attacking at this time, relying on the might of the generals, will naturally be able to dominate the land of Yanzhou.

However, our army will also be damaged. If the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, Zhang Miao and Qiao Mao become allies, but it will be disadvantageous to our army. Let me use a small trick to cause chaos in Yanzhou and let them kill each other. profit".

Cao Cao was overjoyed, "Wen Ruo deserves to be called Wang Zuo's talent, like the son of the great ancestor in the past, I, Cao Cao, can get help from Xun Yu, I am really lucky for my life."

Xun Yu said, "I have a plan in mind right now, but I just need the help of my lord."

Cao Cao caressed his miscellaneous beard, and said sharply, "Wen Ruo, please tell me."

"Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. He has been in charge of Yanzhou for dozens of years. His emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and he has tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands. My lord, you can ask the emperor to draw up an imperial edict, ordering him to conquer Zhang Miao, Qiao Mao, and conquer them. The land of Yanzhou.

Even if Liu Dai is unwilling, he will obey, and let them fight between tigers and wolves."

Cao Cao nodded lightly, "This matter is simple. When I enter the palace at night, let Empress Dowager He urge the young emperor to issue an imperial edict overnight."

Xun Yu paused, then continued, "I have a nephew named Xun You, styled Gongda, who was imprisoned for plotting to assassinate Dong Zhuo. Fortunately, the lord defeated Dong Zhuo, and my nephew was able to escape from prison. Xun You is good at flexibility. Changing enemy tactics and military strategies, I am looking for a master, and I recommend it to the lord."

Cao Cao was overjoyed, "Haha, I have heard the name of Gongda for a long time, and I wish I could recruit him into my arms. I don't know where he is at this time."

Xun Yu said, "My nephew believes that the lord is the master of the Ming Dynasty, who will surely establish an eternal hegemony in the troubled times, and is already waiting outside the door."

Cao Cao then went to greet him in person, and with the help of his counselor Xun You, he was even more powerful.

In Yanzhou, Liu Dai received an imperial edict from his father-in-law, ordering him to send troops to attack Zhang Miao and Qiao Mao, and conquer the land of Yanzhou.

Naturally, I was also very depressed.

Liu Dai immediately called Wang Yu, Xu Si, Wang Kai, Wang Gong, Xu Xi, Mao Hui and others to discuss.

Wang Yu said, "This is the imperial decree of the emperor, and my lord is a relative of the Han family. If you openly disobey the order, you will definitely be regarded as a traitor of the Han family. This battle must be fought.

Not Zhang Miao, Qiao Mao and the others have accumulated power for a long time, and they have a lot of powerful soldiers in their hands. Our army has only [-] troops, so I am afraid that they are not their opponents."

Mao Hui continued, "Brother Wang Yu is right, this battle must be fought, and must be won, so that my lord can firmly sit on the position of governor of Yanzhou.

As far as I know, compared with Zhang Miao and Qiao Mao, Zhang Miao is more powerful. He has Zhang Chao, Wei Zi, Zang Hong, Liu Yi, Dong Fang, Chen Rong and other powerful generals under his command, and his strength is far beyond the On top of our army, we can send troops to attack Qiaomao first, seize its generals, integrate the troops, expand the power, and then attack Zhang Miao with all our strength.

If you lose, you can still ask the court for help."

Everyone nodded slightly, and Wang Yu continued, "At the moment, we have no name in the army, the morale of the army is low, and the princes of all parties think that we want to expand our strength, and they will definitely take precautions against us.

According to the usual practice, all states and counties also have to pay taxes, food and salaries to the governor every month.

However, Zhang Miao and Qiao Mao have not paid taxes, food and salaries for nearly half a year.

We can ask Qiao Mao for military rations, if he is willing to hand over the rations, then we have to discuss, if he is not willing, we have a reason to attack him."

Mao Hui said, "Brother Wang Yu is worthy of being the lord's confidant. It's really true. But according to Qiao Mao's character, he will definitely not hand over the rations to our army. It is better to prepare food, supplies, and train soldiers in advance. , Let's get ready for war."

Liu Dai nodded with a serious expression, "Xu Si, Wang Kai, Wang Gong, and Xu Xi, order you four generals to train your armor day and night, prepare your army for battle, and attack Qiaomao."

"promise!"

The four generals bowed.

At this time, Wang Kai stood up and said, "My lord, although our army has [-] generals, but it has been a long time since we have fought, and our weapons and armor have already been damaged. If we attack Qiaomao with the current equipment, we will definitely suffer a big loss." .

Liu Dai never cared about military affairs, so naturally he didn't know about it.

More and more headaches.

"The battle is imminent now, what can you do to save it?"

Wang Yu said, "Weapons and armor are very important to soldiers. To be invincible, weapons and armor are indispensable. If it is reforged and polished now, it will definitely consume a lot of time.

I heard that after Lu Wenhou occupied Xuzhou, he opened an arsenal in Xuzhou City, mining iron ore and forging armor.

I have some friendship with Tao Qian's son, Tao Shang, why don't we use him as an intermediary to buy a batch of weapons and armor from Lu Bu's army.

I heard that the steel knife forged by Lu Wenhou's army can split the enemy's armor with one knife.

Lu Wenhou also relied on this to win all the way, and he has never been defeated."

Hearing what Wang Yu said, Liu Dai's heart became more and more eager to move. He has managed Yanzhou for decades and naturally accumulated a lot of money.

"That's very good, then I will trouble Lord Wang Yu to take a walk," Liu Dai said.

Wang Yu rushed to Xuzhou overnight, set up a line with a pottery merchant, and met Lu Su.

At first Lu Su naturally didn't want to agree, but Wang Yu begged hard, and with the potter's help, Lu Su agreed.

Thinking about it, this is also a good thing.

Not only can he get money and food, but also let Liu Dai's army consume the combat power of other armies. For himself, there is no loss.

So he sold [-] sets of soldiers and armors at a high price.

Moreover, Lu Su only received a small deposit from Wang Yu.

Lu Su seems to have not thought carefully, but in fact he is planning to plot Yanzhou in his heart.

Right now, the 25 Black Mountain Army's battle swords are being sharpened. If Liu Dai sends money and food as agreed, Lu Su will have to consider other plans.

If they dared to default on money and food, Lu Su would have a reason to send troops.

The sword points to Yanzhou, and the horse steps on Liu Dai.
