Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 428 Attacking Wan City
"What? Lu Bu's army went south to Wancheng?" Yuan Shu was startled when he heard the soldiers' report. Although Yuan Shu was shocked by the news that Lu Buyuan had invaded Sizhou, Yuan Shu was not afraid. The strength is strong. In addition to owning Yuzhou, Yuan Shu also owns part of Yangzhou and Jingzhou. In this way, he is not inferior to Lu Bu in strength. Moreover, the place occupied by Yuan Shu has not experienced as many wars as the place occupied by Lu Bu. The damage was serious. In terms of military strength, Yuan Shu was even stronger than Lu Bu. What's more, if Lu Bu wanted to take over the Central Plains, he would have to face more enemies than Yuan Shu. After some time, Yuan Shu was not surprised to hear the news that Lu Bu's army had gone south to Wancheng.

"Lü Bu is here, how do you guys think we should deal with it?" After a while Yuan Shu woke up from the shock and asked the generals and advisers.

"Lv Bu is in Yongliang and Liangzhou, and his army is strong. He must be uneasy and good-hearted. He wants to take advantage of our army and the Jingzhou army to attack the city. The general must make quick plans. Jingzhou Liu Biao is just the king of the city. The general can send troops at any time if he wants to take Jingzhou, but Lu Bu is a tiger and wolf, the general should join forces with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and send troops from three directions to take this opportunity to destroy Lu Bu is the right way." Seeing that Yuan Shu didn't pay attention for a while, he asked all the ministers for advice, Wei Zhongdao quickly stood up and urged.Originally, Yuan Shu had no intention of fighting with Lu Bu, and Wei Zhongdao was a little disappointed, but at this time he got an opportunity by accident, and Wei Zhongdao of course wanted to seize it.

"This?" Hearing Wei Zhongdao's words, Yuan Shu hesitated. Yuan Shu was originally a stern person, so he was very happy to take advantage of things, but if he wanted to fight Lu Bu with real swords, Yuan Shu would He was a little hesitant. Lu Bu must have experienced too many battles these years. It can be said that he crawled out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood, and Yuan Shu only had the power of today through the old Yuan's family. "Yang Hong, what do you think about this matter?" After a while, Yuan Shu glanced at his long history Yang Hong and asked.

"Lü Bu's army is powerful. Since Xiliang raised troops, Lv Bu's army has never been defeated. This kind of army is not only superior in combat power, but also ambitious. The general is fighting alone, and the gains are obviously not worth the losses. What's more, Cao Cao in Yanzhou is not Ordinary people, if Lu Bu fights with our army, Cao Cao will definitely be ready to make a move. We know this, and Lu Bu will naturally not understand. Thinking that Lu Bu was planned by Xun Yu, he would not do such a thing, so the ministers thought that the most urgent thing is to Find out what Lu Bujun's true intentions are, and then find a way to deal with it." Seeing Yuan Shu asking, Yang Hong stood up, saluted Yuan Shu, and then said eloquently.

"Your Majesty Yang Hong is just joking. Lu Bu's army is coming aggressively to attack the city and pull out the stronghold. Besides, is it possible that they are still here to make friends with us?" Hearing what Yang Hong said, Wei Zhongdao couldn't help but sneered. "The whole world has always been blocked by soldiers and covered by water and earth. I have never heard of the fact that when the enemy came to the door, he had to ask why the enemy came to the door." Wei Zhongdao obviously dismissed Yang Hong's statement. .

"General, my subordinates would like to be the vanguard and lead the troops to Wancheng to meet Lu Bu's army." Hearing Wei Zhongdao's ridicule, Ji Ling stepped forward and said, thinking of Yuan Shu.

"Okay, it's up to you to lead the troops to meet Lu Bu's army first, but you have to remember, don't fight with Lu Bu's army lightly, first find out the situation of Lu Bu's army, and then ask me to repay you." Yuan Shu nodded in agreement. After Ji Ling's suggestion, Lu Bu's army was bound to attack, but Yuan Shu had to send troops to stop it. However, Yuan Shu had no idea how to fight against Lu Bu's army. He must have fought against Lu Bu in the past. Yuan Shu still didn't forget it, and he was still a little scared when he thought about it.

"General, Lv Bu is cunning and changeable. General Ji Ling may not be able to resist." Seeing Ji Ling leave, Yang Hong cupped his hands to Yuan Shu and said.According to the past situation, it can be said that Ji Ling and Lu Bu's war talents are not at the same level at all, so as soon as Ji Ling left, Yang Hong said to Yuan Shu with some worry.

"So, what should I do?" Originally facing Lu Bu, Yuan Shu didn't have much confidence, but now hearing Yang Hong's words, Yuan Shu became more worried and asked hastily.

"The general should first send envoys to form an alliance with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. Once Lu Bu's army attacks Wancheng, if we can get their help to deal with Lu Bu together, our army will have no worries." Yang Hong said hastily.

"Actually, there is a better way." Just when Yang Hong had just finished speaking, defender Zhongdao suddenly interjected.

"Oh? Is there any other way?" Yuan Shu asked quickly when he heard that there was still a way.

"Didn't Master Yang Hong just say that he wanted to find out the real reason why Lu Bu's army approached Wancheng? If that's the case, why didn't Master Yang Hong go to see Lu Bu in person? Anyway, Lu Bu has recently become a captain. It is reasonable for people to go to congratulate. If Master Yang Hong can persuade Lu Bu to form an alliance with our army with his three-inch tongue, it is natural that our army has such a powerful ally. There's nothing to worry about." Hearing Yuan Shu's question, Wei Zhongdao's eyelids twitched, and he came up with an idea that surprised everyone, but although this idea sounded a bit unbelievable, everyone had to admit that this idea was true. Can completely resolve the immediate crisis.

"Hehe, Yang Hong's matter is up to you. If you can achieve this point, I will definitely lead all the ministers to celebrate for you." Although Yang Hong was full of reluctance when he heard Wei Zhongdao's idea, Yuan Shu was obviously concerned about this matter. He was very enthusiastic about the matter, so he hurriedly said to Yang Hong.

"This time there will be Mr. Lao, and I wish you success here." Hearing Yuan Shu's words, Wei Zhongdao turned around and saluted Yang Hong.He was happy in his heart, he must be not someone to be fooled by Lu Bu, and Yang Hong must have gone this time, the chances of coming back may not be great, and this is exactly what Wei Zhongdao wanted, without Yang Hong With Yuan Shu by his side, Wei Zhongdao will have more room to play. When the time comes to unite Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Wei Zhongdao believes that even if Lu Bu's strength is not what it used to be, he may not be able to fight against these three forces.

So the next day, Yang Hong took Yuan Shu's autographed letter and headed towards Sizhou. At the same time, Yuan Shu's army, who came to Xinye City in a mighty way, tried to capture the entire Jingzhou, also left silently at this time.

At the same time, thousands of miles away, in the northern part of Wancheng, an army of 2 people is slowly moving forward, the flags are flying, and the first person is Hua Xiong.

"General, since we are going to attack Wancheng, why are we moving so slowly? We must know that soldiers are very fast, so we should rush to Wancheng quickly and take him down later." Hua Xiong looked at the people who were walking slowly beside him. The army asked Zhang Liao, who was beside him, inexplicably.

"For a siege, speed is of course the most important thing, but we have other goals this time." Zhang Liao glanced at the eager Hua Xiong, and said thoughtfully.

"For other purposes? What is that?" Hearing what Zhang Liao said, Hua Xiong asked even more puzzled.

"Mr. Jia Xu told us when we came here that we will have enough momentum along the way to make everyone believe that we are going to fight Yuan Shu." Zhang Liao nodded after thinking for a while.

"I don't understand. There is really no benefit in doing this. We only have [-] soldiers and horses. With these troops, it is already difficult to capture Wancheng. It's a bit vague." Hearing Zhang Liao's words, Hua Xiong obviously didn't understand the reason, but as far as the matter is concerned, Hua Xiong also felt a little embarrassed about the capture of Wancheng, after all, Yuan Shu was not easy to deal with.

At the same time, the two figures standing on the dilapidated wall in the city of Luoyang are Lu Bu and Jia Xu. These two people are looking into the distance at this time, and they are talking casually, letting people know that they are familiar with each other.

"Do you think the military advisor can fool Cao Cao and Yuan Shao by doing this?" Lu Bu asked casually.

"Hehe, Cao Cao is a shrewd person, and with Cheng Yu and Guo Jia as his advisors, it's impossible to hide these little tricks from them. As for Yuan Shao, there are many capable people around him, and they will naturally guess what we do. " Hearing Lu Bu's question, Jia Xu laughed and said to Lu Bu.

"Since we can't hide it from them, what's the advantage of us sending troops to Wancheng to fight Yuan Shu?" Lu Bu squinted his eyes slightly and asked here.

"Our army's entry into Sizhou has already broken the original balance between the Shandong princes and Dong Zhuo. A battle with the Shandong princes is inevitable, but our army's overall strength is not weaker than that between Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Any one, but the problem is that the appearance of our army will force them to form a tripartite alliance. In this way, even if the strength of our army grows, it is impossible to deal with the three of them. So we can only fight against them. Before the three families form an alliance, choose the weakest one and start a war with it, so that the other two will have a fluke mentality, and want to get the greatest fruit for themselves when they see the result of the war, and this will just destroy it. The army entered the main Sizhou, which created a situation where they share the same hatred. As long as they do not form an alliance, our army will have time to slowly entangle with them and find opportunities to defeat them one by one. And they will take advantage of our inability to form an alliance with them This opportunity to consolidate your own strength." Jia Xu said slightly in thought.

"However, this situation is too dangerous. If Cao Cao or Yuan Shao wants to attack Sizhou when our army is fighting with Yuan Shu, our army may not be able to fight back." Lu Bu said worriedly.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Taiwei. Neither Cao Cao nor Yuan Shao have the guts to occupy Sizhou, because they do not have the strength to face the adults alone, not to mention that Sizhou is now the place of the Four Wars. On the contrary, Tai The arrival of Lord Wei has made the situation in the Central Plains more stable, I believe that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are not willing to fight each other at this time, leaving an opportunity for the Lord." Although it is only a guess, Jia Xu's eyes are full of confidence.This reassured Lu Bu a lot.
