Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 277 Liu Biao, Inspector of Jingzhou
Chapter 270 Seven

At this moment, a man and a horse came towards him, but Lu Bu recognized this man. It was Zhang Ji who was in charge of protecting Dong Zhuo. Behind Zhang Ji, a group of soldiers and horses were chasing after him, led by the two brothers Bao Xin and Bao Tao. The soldiers came after him.

"What's going on here? Could it be that something happened to the prime minister?" Seeing Zhang Ji running away in a panic, Li Su was the first to be surprised, and suddenly said the possibility that everyone thought of but didn't say it.

"It can't be." Looking at Zhang Ji in front of him, Hua Xiong also said with some doubts.

"Everyone, don't worry, just go up and have a look and you'll find out." Lu Bu stretched out his hand to stop everyone's speculation. Now that they haven't got any definite news, saying anything is superfluous.

"What's going on here, how did you make it like this?" Seeing Zhang Ji rushing over, Hua Xiong couldn't help asking.

"I chased Bao Xin all the way, but I didn't expect to meet his younger brother on the way. I was defeated by two of them. Fortunately, I met you and saved me from danger." Seeing everyone, Zhang Ji said excitedly. Obviously, he was also killed by Bao Xin's brother. I'm chasing after him.

"Aren't you protecting the prime minister? How is your lord prime minister?" Lu Bu couldn't help asking when he saw that Zhang Ji didn't talk about the main point.

"This? I think the Prime Minister should have arrived in Xingyang." Zhang Ji said with some doubts.

"So that's how it is." After hearing Zhang Ji's words, everyone finally realized that they were supercilious.

At the moment when Zhang Ji and the others were reconciling, Brother Bao Xin who was behind also saw Lu Bu and the others, they were shocked and stopped, not daring to move forward.

"Brother, look at that person, isn't that Hua Xiong?" Seeing Hua Xiong in front of him, Bao Tao first became uncomfortable. Out of Huaxiong.

"What is Hua Xiong? Have you seen the man on the red horse? Over there is Lu Bu. Zhang Ji is lucky to meet Lu Bu. Let's retreat." Bao Tao rode his horse and fled.

"General Lu Bu, brother Bao Xin is about to escape, why don't we go after them and kill them, those two chased me just now." Seeing that Brother Bao Xin was about to flee, Zhang Ji couldn't help but said, wanting to please Lu Bu and others felt ashamed of themselves.

"Brothers Bao Xin are just clowns, let them go. As for your hatred, it is the right way to seek revenge from them if you have a chance in the future." Zhang Ji Lu Bu, who looked a little anxious, said lightly. Lu Bu wasn't very interested, but what Lu Bu was thinking about was Dong Zhuo's situation. If Dong Zhuo died, then Lu Bu would have other plans.Thinking of this, Lu Bu gave instructions to all the generals: "All generals, follow me to Xingyang." After speaking, Lu Bu rode off on his horse and went straight to Xingyang.

At the same time, the battle outside Chenliu City was drawing to a close.

"How is Cao Cao's current situation?" Yuan Shao asked, looking at Cao Cao in front of him.

"Leader, although Dong Zhuo's army is coming fiercely this time, their strength does not have any advantage. Even if they capture the surrounding cities, as long as Chen Liu is still in our hands, the victory can only belong to us." Cao Cao said confidently.

"Oh? How do you say that? Do you have any good news?" Seeing the smile on Cao Cao's face, Yuan Shao asked.

"The leader said yes. We just received the news that Zhongmu City has been captured. As a result, Dong Zhuo's army who attacked our city has been surrounded by our army. I believe it will not be long before they will be completely defeated. But now Dong Zhuo We have already escaped from Zhongmou, so we should dispatch an elite group to attack and kill Dong Zhuo, as long as Dong Zhuo dies, there is hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty." Cao Cao said, and at the same time asked Yuan Shao to send troops to attack and kill Dong Zhuo.

"Although Dong Zhuo was defeated, the centipede is dead but not stiff. I'm afraid it won't be cheap to send troops like this. In my opinion, it's better to call a group of princes to discuss this matter in a long-term way." Regarding Cao Cao's desire to organize troops immediately Yuan Shao is obviously not optimistic about pursuing Dong Zhuo's suggestion.

"Yuan Gong, Dong Zhuo's new defeat is just a time when people are panicking. Our army will take advantage of the victory and pursue it, just to expand the results of the battle and wipe out Dong Zhuo's forces. If Yuan Gong loses this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I am afraid that he will want to destroy Dong Zhuo in the future. It will be very difficult." Cao Cao tried to persuade him again.

"Hey, Meng De, you also know that although I am the leader of the coalition of princes, but at this time, the princes have just experienced a war and suffered heavy losses. I am afraid that no one will agree to summon the elite forces of the princes at this time." Yuan Shao He sighed, obviously not supporting Cao Cao's plan.

"You, you are as timid as you are, how can you kill Dong Zhuo, Zhongxing Dahan? Since you don't want to send troops to chase and kill Dong Zhuo, then I, Cao Cao, will risk my life and lead people to chase after me. The Cao family has been favored by the emperor for generations. , let me, Cao Cao, do my best for the world of the great man today." As he spoke, Cao Cao swung his cloak and turned his head away.

"Hehehe, Cao Cao's temper really hasn't changed at all." Just as Cao Cao left, a person walked out from behind and said to Yuan Shao with a smile.

"That's right, Cao Cao is still the same Cao Cao as before. Didn't he see that the Great Han Dynasty is dying, and no matter how hard he tries, it can't be saved?" Yuan Shao said calmly to the direction where Cao Cao was leaving.

"Congratulations to Duke Yuan, you have defeated Dong Zhuo this time. In this way, Duke Yuan's power will be as high as the sky, and people all over the world will only look up to Duke Yuan's prestige." Xu You congratulated Yuan Shao with a bow.

"Hehe, this matter has come to an end. Next, we should use the position of the leader to gain some benefits for ourselves." Yuan Shao said calmly, rolling his eyes.

"My lord, I just have something I want to ask the lord of the alliance. There is a message from Yuan Shu, saying that Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, has been beheaded by the forward Sun Jian to prevent the army from attacking Wancheng. At this time, the post of governor of Jingzhou is vacant. Appoint people to take over." As he spoke, Xu You took out a volume of documents and said to Yuan Shao.

"What? Sun Jian killed Wang Rui? This Sun Jian is just a little prefect, and he committed suicide without authorization. Does he really think that lawlessness is a thing?" Yuan Shao said in surprise when he heard the news suddenly.

"My lord, don't worry, there is something hidden in this. As far as my subordinates know, not only Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, was killed this time, but also Zhang Zi, the prefect of Nanyang. However, Yuan Shu only talked about Wang Rui's affairs, not about Wang Rui. There seems to be something strange about Zhang Zi's matter." Xu You reminded.

"Nanyang? I know this. My younger brother has been coveting Nanyang, and this time he finally seized the opportunity." Yuan Shao said lightly, but immediately came to his senses and continued: "No, Nanyang prefect Zhang Zi is impossible. Is there any conflict with Sun Jian, could it be that kid Yuan Shu instigated it?" Yuan Shao felt suddenly cleared up when he thought about it, and couldn't help frowning.

"What the lord said is very true. This is what my subordinates are worried about. Originally, Yuan Shu is not weak. Now if he annexes Nanyang and then takes over Jingzhou, we are afraid that our strength will not be able to compete with him at that time. .” Xu You reminded worriedly.

"Your worry is very reasonable. It's just that besides Sun Jian, who else can compete with Yuan Shu? Our power is far away in Jizhou, and we are far away from the affairs of Yuzhou and Jingzhou, and Sun Jian doesn't seem to be able to resist. "Yuan Shao also knew about Dong Zhuo's canonization of Sun Jian as governor of Yuzhou last time, but even though Sun Jian accepted the imperial decree, he didn't dare to really contend with Yuan Shu.

"Hehe, didn't the lord Yuan Shu give us a good chance this time?" Looking at the document in his hand, Xu You suddenly said with a smile.

"Haha, if you have any ideas, feel free to speak up. Although we are beyond our reach in Jingzhou, we can't take advantage of Yuan Shu." Seeing Xu You's confident look, Yuan Shao also said with a smile.

"My lord, do you remember that there is a man named Liu Biao Liu Jingsheng. This man is a member of the imperial family. He has been famous all over the world for his talent since he was a child. He is also one of the eight steeds in the world. He is well-known in the country. If the lord sends this person to Jingzhou, he will definitely be welcomed by the nobles of Jingzhou. He must be supported, as he is a member of the royal family, I believe that Jingzhou can be rectified in a short time, even if Yuan Shu is greedy for Jingzhou, he can only look at the ocean and sigh, but he has no way to start." Xu You recommended to Yuan Shao.

"Well, if this person can replace Wang Rui and sit in Jingzhou, it will be enough to intimidate the local people. It's just that this person is from the royal family, and he is arrogant. I'm afraid he won't be used by me, and he will become a trouble in the future." Yuan Shao felt that Liu Biao had done it. The governor of Jingzhou can stop Yuan Shu, but he is also afraid that Liu Biao will be difficult to control when he becomes stronger.

"Hehe, my lord is worrying too much. Although Liu Biao is a royal family, he is also a man who knows how to advance and retreat. Today, even if the emperor of yesterday is in turmoil, it will be precarious. What's more, a royal family without power. Now my lord let Liu Biao become a prince. He Besides, Jingzhou is far away from Jizhou. As long as Liu Biao can prevent Yuan Shu from taking over Jingzhou, the lord will only need to pass through the north in the future, and then lead the northern elite to go south with the momentum of Mount Tai. At this time, the southern princes are still waiting. I'm afraid that Yuan Shu will take Yuzhou first and then Jingzhou, and get half of the Han Dynasty, so it will be too big to deal with." Xu You persuaded again.

"Since that is the case, I will leave this matter to you. Let Liu Biao go to Jingzhou to take over as governor of Jingzhou." Yuan Shao no longer hesitated, and issued an edict in the name of the leader of the coalition of princes, asking Liu Biao to take over as governor of Jingzhou.

Just as the war on Chen Liu's side had just come to an end, the war also started thousands of miles away in Wancheng.

"General, Yuan Shu is unkind and unrighteous. He annexed Zhang Zi and Wang Rui's troops, but he didn't benefit the general at all. Could it be that the general wants to attack Wancheng and die for that Yuan Shu?" Seeing that Sun Jian had already arrived, he made a gesture. To attack Wancheng, Huang Gai said a little depressed.
