Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 135
Chapter 130 Five

"Of course, I, Guo Bang, was ordered by the General to guard Yongzhou. Naturally, I wanted to keep Yongzhou safe. How could I let Ma Teng and Han Sui succeed?" Seeing that Niu Fu was also speaking for himself, Guo Bang patted his chest and said.

"Hahaha, with the general's words, the pressure on our western expeditionary army will be reduced a lot. After I go back, I will let the [-] troops responsible for fortifying the walls and clearing the fields go to Tianshui." Lu Bu laughed and agreed with Niu Fu and Guo. In Si's opinion, since these two people are willing to take on Yongzhou's strong walls and clear fields, Lu Bu is naturally happy to take it easy.

"This matter is over. General Lu Bu will stay in Chang'an for a few more days, and learn about the customs and customs of Chang'an, how about it?" Seeing that the matter had been properly arranged, Niu Fu tried to persuade Lu Bu to stay.

"Um, the battle is urgent on the front line. The commander-in-chief just sits in the rear. His subordinates are generals. Naturally, he should go to the battlefield in person and fight the enemy. There is no delay here." Lu Bu smiled, and did not agree to Niu Fu's request to stay.

"Hahaha, General Lu Bu is too polite. The so-called war on the front line must be just your guesswork. As a general, it is natural to plan things first, but since everything has been arranged, of course you don't have to care about it for a while. The general just needs to be familiar with it in Chang'an." Familiar with geography and human relations, it will not be too late to go when definite news from the front comes, so why rush." ​​Niu Fu laughed earnestly.

"Since the commander-in-chief said so, the general will follow the order. The general who came to Chang'an for the first time really wants to take a good look at the customs and customs of Chang'an." Lu Bu didn't want to stay in Chang'an, but suddenly thought that someone might be in Chang'an, so he After agreeing to Niu Fu's invitation, the person Lu Bu thought of was naturally the famous "poisoner" Jia Xu in history.

"Is that right, general? If I have a chance, let me introduce you to many of our Xiliang generals. We all serve as officials in the same dynasty, so naturally we should get closer." Niu Fu laughed and slapped him.

"My lords, I have something to do in the army, so I will leave first, and I will come to see my lords again when I have a chance." Lu Bu was busy going back to deal with some matters, so he naturally didn't want to stay here any longer, so he hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

"Okay, please go ahead, General Lu, and I won't see you off soon." Seeing that Lu Bu was about to leave, Niu Fu and Guo Si also stood up and said goodbye.

"Brother Niu Fu, why should you be so polite to Lu Bu? Leave him in Chang'an?" Seeing Lu Bu go away, Guo Si asked Niu Fu in confusion.

"Now that Lu Bu is in a hurry to go to Tianshui, he definitely wants to hold the Western Expedition Army firmly in his hands. And I kept him in Chang'an just to test how far he has controlled the Western Expedition Army. If I can Within a few days, I will control the [-] troops sent by Lu Bu. Naturally, I will compete with Lu Bu for control of the Western Expedition Army. If the Western Expedition Army is really under Lu Bu's complete control and cannot intervene, then let him Go to Xiliang and have sex with Ma Teng and Han Sui." Niu Fu revealed his plan with a gloomy smile.

"Brother Niu Fu is really clever. No wonder the general is willing to marry his daughter to his elder brother. The elder brother's resourcefulness and calculations are really amazing." Hearing Niu Fu's calculations, Guo Bang couldn't help but marvel.

"Hahaha, General Guo praised me so much, I'll go outside the city and personally welcome these 1 people to live in Chang'an." Niu Fu laughed and walked outside.

"Old fox," seeing Niu Fu walking out, Guo Bang scolded, and then said, "It seems that I should get ready too." After saying that, he got up and walked out.

At the same time, Lu Bu had already left the gate of the Governor's Mansion, but he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he beckoned for two smart guards and said, "You two put on ordinary people's clothes, and help me keep an eye on Niu Fu and Niu Fu. Guo Si, see what they have done, and then report to me."

After speaking, Lu Bu jumped on the red rabbit horse, took Ma Yunlu and the rest of the guards, and drove away.

"General, why do you want people to stare at Niu Fu and Guo Bang?" Ma Yunlu asked suddenly at this time.

"Hahaha, this general has my own magical effect on this matter. Don't worry about it, Yun'er. Girls don't care about so many things." Lu Bu said to Ma Yunlu with a smile.

In fact, Lu Bu made people stare at Guo Si and Niu Fu for the simple purpose of finding out Jia Xu's whereabouts.Lu Bu was not familiar with Chang'an's place of life, so if he searched for Jia Xu with great fanfare, it would definitely draw people's attention and cause unnecessary trouble.But since Jia Xu is related to Guo Bang, let's start with him. If Jia Xu lives in Chang'an, I believe Guo Bang will definitely ask Jia Xu for advice when he encounters such a thing today.

Lu Bu believed that Guo Si would be able to obtain Yongzhou smoothly, and he must have the help of an expert to gain a firm foothold. Otherwise, with Guo Si's ability and knowledge, it would be impossible to control Yongzhou, and the expert behind the scenes was Fei Jia. Pride is none other than.

Sure enough, not long after Lu Bu left, Niu Fu and Guo Si left the Governor's Mansion one after another.

Niu Fu's goal was directly outside the city, to welcome the [-] soldiers led by Hou Cheng into the city.

Guo Bang, on the other hand, was a light car, twisting and turning in Chang'an City, came to a quiet courtyard gate, and stopped.

"Please report to Mr. Guo Si to see you." Guo Si came to the door, knocked lightly a few times, and then said to the boy who came out to open the door.

"My husband is tasting tea, sir, please come with me." Seeing that it was Guo Bang, the boy brought Guo Bang to the inner hall without further questioning.

In the inner hall, the furnishings are exquisite and elegant, and a touch of sandalwood comes from a tripod incense burner, giving people a refreshing feeling.An old man with gray beard and hair was really sitting on a rattan chair reading a book.This person is really Jia Xu.

"Hahaha, Mister is indeed a fairy among the gods. This kind of carefree life really makes me, a rough man, very envious." Seeing Jia Xu reading a book, Guo Si didn't see him, and said directly.

"Hahaha, it turns out that the general is here. The general is always busy with military affairs. I don't know what kind of wind is blowing the general to this old man?" Jia Xu laughed, but directly asked Guo Bang's reason for coming.

"The thing is like this, the general sent Lu Bu here to wipe out Xiliang, but according to Lu Bu, there has been a change in Xiliang, and it may go south to Chang'an. I am not sure what to do, so I came here to ask sir. "Guo Bang was direct when the time came, and told all the news he had heard.

"So that's the case, so what does the general want?" After listening to Guo Bang's introduction, Jia Xu asked Guo Bang back, wanting to know what Guo Bang's purpose was.

"I'm guarding Yongzhou now, so I naturally don't want others to intervene. However, the Western Expeditionary Army is strong and strong, and its combat effectiveness is stronger than my [-] army. But if Lu Bu is right, Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang In addition, the Qiang soldiers are really scary, and I am really not sure about this." Guo Si expressed his doubts.

"I see. Among the Qiang soldiers, the strongest is Xian Ling Qiang, with more than [-] mercenaries. If Xian Ling Qiang invades, its strength is stronger than that of Ma Teng and Han Sui combined. Ma Teng and Han Sui are of course unwilling to face such an enemy, not to mention that Ma Teng and Han Sui's enemies are not only the Qiang people, but also us. So for Ma Teng and Han Sui, the best way is to divert the disaster to the east and let the Qiang people go south Then sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman. Therefore, the old man feels that the Qiang people's southward migration is not groundless." Speaking of this, Jia Xu took a sip of tea, and then said: "As for the dispute between Lu Bu and Niu Fu, it is nothing more than a small profit. An army is easy to get, but a general is hard to find. The Bingzhou Army and Lu Bu have the same source, so it is difficult for Niu Fu to intervene. Although the Northern Army is elite, it has rarely passed the test of war. Even if Niu Fu tries his best, he can only get Bei However, it is difficult to control the Bingzhou Army. The Northern Army is nothing more than a weak point to the general. Besides, since the Qiang people and Ma Teng and Han Sui both intend to go south, after such a war, the Northern Army can stay It's still unknown how much you want to play, it's not worth it to fight on it, and it will cause unnecessary trouble."

"Then what should I do now, sir?" Guo Si asked worriedly.

"May I ask, general, do you have the confidence to fight Qiang soldiers and Ma Teng and Han Sui?" Jia Xu suddenly asked Guo Si.

"This? When we were in Xiliang, the general led us to fight against Ma Teng and Han Sui many times, but it was always just a situation of fighting against each other." Guo Si didn't answer clearly, but Jia Xu had already seen that Guo Si was very concerned about the situation. It is not optimistic to play against Ma Teng and Han Sui.

"Then I would like to ask the general, how does the general's [-] troops compare with the Qiang soldiers and Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops?" Jia Xu then asked about the situation of Guo Si's army.

"This? The Qiang soldiers are nomads, and they have been skilled in bowing and horses since childhood. The Xiliang soldiers under Ma Teng are also Xiliang's elite, and although I have an army of one hundred thousand, it is nothing more than a few ordinary people. Naturally it’s not as good as it is.” Speaking of this, Guo Si couldn’t help but sigh.

"Then general? Ma Teng and Han came together with the Qiang soldiers, how is the general going to resist?" Jia Xu once asked Guo Si.

"This? Isn't there Niu Fu and Lu Bu standing in front?" Guo Bang was startled, and thought of Niu Fu and Lu Bu.

"The general is right. If Niu Fu and Lu Bu can stop it, the general will be happy, but the general thinks that with the current state of Niu Fu and Lu Bu, can they resist it?" Jia Xu took another sip of tea, asked unhurriedly.

"This? What should I do with such a general? Please teach me, sir." Guo Bang was shocked by Jia Xu's words, and asked again with his hands clasped to Jia Xu.

"General, with one hundred thousand soldiers, why don't you get all the best of them into the city of Chang'an, and then use Chang'an as a stronghold to fortify the walls and clear the wilderness, so that even if the Qiang soldiers and Ma Teng and Han Sui come, facing the high city, deep pools, and Chang'an city, which is full of fine soldiers and food You can look at the city and talk, but you can't attack. The general can allocate all the other soldiers and horses to Niu Fu except the elite, and let him fight the enemy. Asking for help, the general can also shirk. The war is tight and Chang'an needs to be guarded. The general has no soldiers to send. At that time, the general only needs to defend Chang'an. The credit is indispensable. What does the general think of doing this?" Jia Xu slowly came up with a plan that could protect himself and remain invincible.
