Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 436
"Eh?" Yang Hong obviously did not expect that Lu Bu would scold him so angrily.Originally, Yang Hong was still thinking of taking the lead, so it was good to talk to Lu Bu about the strike.But now it seems that Lu Bu doesn't like Yang Hong at all.

"Lord Taiwei, please calm down. Yuan Shu is a member of the imperial court. Naturally, he will not have any objections to the decisions made by the imperial court. This time Mr. Yang Hong came here, I am afraid that he wants to turn hostility into friendship." See the conversation between the two At an impasse, Jia Xu on the side hurriedly said to smooth things over.Although Lv Bu is very imposing, he also wants to know what benefits Yang Hong can bring to him this time, and the benefits he can definitely get at the negotiating table don't require so much effort on the battlefield.

"My lord, Yuan Shu, has admired the name of the Taiwei for a long time, and he admires General Lu Bu very much. He wants to form an alliance with the general to compete in the Central Plains. I don't know what the Taiwei wants?" I got some advantage from Lu Bu, so I hurriedly said straight to the point, fearing that something would happen again.

"Oh, hahaha, it's not bad for Yuan Shu to have such an idea. When I sent troops to Sizhou, His Majesty told me that Yuan Shu in Nanyang was a loyal and patriotic generation. Now it seems that it is true." Hearing Yang Hong's words, Lu Bu Thinking in my heart for a while, I first found a reason to praise Yuan Shu, and then said: "Well, as long as Lord Yuan Shu is willing to return Wancheng to the imperial court, I will present to the imperial court and make Lord Yuan Shu a general, and join me Contribute to the imperial court, what do you think?"

"Eh? I'm afraid I can't be the master of this matter. I still have to go back and ask my lord to make a decision." Hearing Lu Bu's words, Yang Hong broke out in a cold sweat. Wancheng is an important place in Nanyang County. Once Wancheng was given to Lu Bu, the entire Nanyang County would be safe to defend. How could Yang Hong dare to answer Lu Bu's words.

"Hehe, I heard that the relationship between Lord Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou is not good. As long as Lord Yuan Shu gives up Wancheng, the soldiers and horses of Lord Taiwei can directly threaten Jingzhou. This is also a big deal for Lord Yuan Shu." It's a very beneficial thing." Looking at Yang Hong's embarrassed face, Jia Xu also said immediately.

"My lord, there is a victory report from Wancheng." At this moment, a soldier suddenly walked in from outside the door, and said with a bow to Lu Bu.

"Hahaha, it's really good news." Lu Bu took the letter and opened it, then laughed out loud. It turned out that it was Zhang Liao who brought the news of the capture of Wancheng.

"Hehe, I think General Zhang Liao has already conquered it." Jia Xu didn't come over to see the victory report, so he stood aside and said guessing.

"Yes, Zhang Liao has conquered Wancheng." Lu Bu said softly, but looked at Yang Hong and continued: "If your Patriarch is willing to stop fighting here, I am also willing to form an alliance with you. If not, there is no need to talk about it." .”

"If you know this, go back and convey the words of the Taiwei to my master." Knowing that Wancheng had been conquered, Yang Hong was also panicked for a while, not knowing what to do, so he saluted Lu Bu hurriedly and hurriedly rushed back.

However, at this time, Cao Cao's mansion in Yanzhou was full of sorrowful voices. It turned out that Cao Cao wanted to bring his father to Yanzhou to enjoy blessings because of his strength in Yanzhou. Yes, this villain is none other than Xuzhou Inspector Tao Qian sent to escort Mr. Cao.

"Father is above, the child is not filial, and can't be happy, but please rest assured that the father is in the spirit of heaven, the child will definitely kill the old thief Tao Qian, and avenge the father." Cao Cao cried bitterly before the death of the old man.

"Mr. Cao, do you really want to attack Xuzhou at this time?" Hearing Cao Cao's words in front of Mr. Cao's coffin, Cheng Yu asked worriedly.

"Nowadays all the princes are expanding their strength. Tao Qian is just a man with no ambitions. It's a pity to let him occupy Xuzhou. It's better for me, Cao Cao, to take Xuzhou and do a lot of work." Looking at Cheng Yu in front of him , Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice, obviously, Cao Cao has long been coveting Xuzhou, and this incident is just an excuse for Cao Cao.

"Although Xuzhou is a fat piece of meat, Tao Qian has a great reputation and is loved by the people. Mr. Cao sent troops to attack because of personal enmity, I'm afraid it will be criticized." Cheng Yu still persuaded after a little hesitation.

"Hmph, now that Lü Bu is in charge of Sizhou and is at odds with Yuan Shu in Nanyang, our army can only annex Xuzhou as soon as possible so that we can accumulate enough strength to win the battle between the princes in the future. If our army does not take Xuzhou at this time, I'm afraid it will happen later There is no chance." Cao Cao said with narrowed eyes.

"Lü Bu and Yuan Shu have turned against each other. Didn't Mr. Cao ever think of taking this opportunity to attack Sizhou?" At this time, Xiahou Dun was stationed at Hulao Pass, firmly guarding the gate between Sizhou and Yanzhou. Cao Cao was strong and strong. However, if Lu Bu attacked Sizhou, he might not be able to defend Sizhou.

"Hehe, Sizhou is the land of the Four Wars, bordering several princes. If I win Sizhou, I'm afraid it will be even more unsettling. I don't want to face Lu Bu alone." Cao Cao laughed and obviously didn't agree with Cheng Yu's opinion. Take it for granted.

"Don't Cao Gong send troops to Xuzhou afraid of Lu Bu's sneak attack from behind?" Seeing that Cao Cao's determination was made, Cheng Yu still asked with some doubts.

"Haha, Lü Bu brought only [-] soldiers when he left Yongzhou. Although Zhang Ji joined forces, the [-] were already too tight to hold Sizhou. If he wanted to attack Yanzhou, I'm afraid Lv Bu would be powerless, not to mention Xiahou Dun guarding it." Hulao Pass, but I am also worried about it. As long as our army takes Xuzhou with lightning speed, I am afraid that it will be too late for Lu Bu to use whatever means he wants." Cao Cao said after a little thought, obviously for the There's a lot of confidence in what's to come.

Therefore, Cao Cao rectified his troops in Yanzhou, threatening to conquer Xuzhou and kill Tao Qian to avenge his father.

When the news reached Xuzhou, Tao Qian was stunned and speechless for a moment.

"Hey, it's because I don't know people well, that's why this disaster happened." Thinking of the fact that he sent someone to escort Mr. Cao back then, but it turned out that Mr. Cao suffered disaster instead, Tao Qian regretted for a moment.

"Cao Cao's wolfish ambition has coveted me in Xuzhou for a long time, and it is Tao Gong's fault. I am willing to go to Jizhou to ask Master Yuan Shao for help. I have always had Master Yuan Shao to help, so Cao Cao naturally dare not do anything wrong." Every fat middle-aged scribe came up, and Tao Qian saw that this person was none other than Mi Zhu.

"Hey, the only ones who can stop Cao Cao now are the Yuan brothers, and Yuan Shuzheng and Lu Bu are obviously not expected to fight. It is a good strategy for you to ask Yuan Shao for help. I only hope that Yuan Shao can remember the love he gave to defeat Dong Zhuo together back then. Come on, help me." Tao Qian sighed again, and said helplessly.

"Isn't Mr. Tao familiar with Zhang Miao in Yanzhou? Why didn't you send someone to contact Zhang Miao? When Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, died, Zhang Miao insisted on welcoming Cao Cao to Yanzhou. Cao Cao is now in the present situation. If you want to come to Zhang Miao, Cao Cao You should still be able to listen in." At this time, a person came from the hall and said.It was the counselor Jian Yong who looked and spoke.

"Jian Yong's words are very good. I will personally write a book and send it to Yanzhou, hoping that Zhang Miao can dissuade Cao Cao." Hearing what Mi Zhu and Jian Yong said, Tao Qian's already pale face finally turned a little bloody. , hurriedly got up and wrote a letter, and sent it to Zhang Miao in Yanzhou.

But it is said that Lu Bu of Yuan Shao in Jizhou was at war with Yuan Shu. After Cao Cao led his troops to Xuzhou, he quickly called all the ministers to discuss.

"Everyone, the world is in turmoil, and the princes of all walks of life are waiting for the opportunity to move. Lu Bu and Yuan Shu fought in Wancheng, and Cao Cao led his troops to Xuzhou. I, Yuan Shao, have a strong army, so how can I just sit idly by? Let me tell you what I should do next. "Yuan Shao sat upright and asked after scanning the courtiers around.

"My lord, at this time Lu Bu's troops are insufficient, and he is going to war with Yuan Shu. It is the best time to merge into Sizhou." Hearing Yuan Shao's question, Guo Tu said first.

"No, although Sizhou is empty, Cao Cao would rather attack Xuzhou than send troops to Sizhou. Why is that? Could it be that Cao Cao knows that attacking Sizhou is not beneficial, so we can't see it? Besides, Lu Bu didn't take over. At the time of Sizhou, the feudal lords were unwilling to take control of Sizhou, but now that Lu Bu has taken control of Sizhou, we want to rob him of it, which is too inappropriate." As soon as Guo Tu's words came out, Tian Feng fought first Come out and say confrontationally.

"Then how about our army sending troops to attack Yanzhou while Cao Cao and Xuzhou Tao Qian are fighting?" Guo Tu was a little annoyed when he heard that, but he was not in a hurry to argue with Tian Feng, but continued to ask.

"No." Just as Guo Tu asked, Feng Ji on the side stopped him.

"Why?" Guo Tu wanted to come to Lv Bu to fight Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao to fight Tao Qian. These are all opportunities to take advantage of, but he didn't expect to be repeatedly denied by others, so he asked a little depressed.

"Hey, because as long as our army sends troops, whether it's fighting Lu Bu or Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan will definitely send troops to attack the back of our army." Before Feng Ji had time to answer, Ju Shou behind him was the first to stand up and say .

"This?" Thinking of Gongsun Zan, Guo Tu was speechless. The enmity between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan must be very deep. The last time Yuan Shao captured Qingzhou, if it wasn't fast enough, Gongsun Zan would have no time to react. I'm afraid Gongsun Zan's troops have already moved in. to Jizhou.

"It seems that what you all mean is that you want me to send troops to attack Gongsun Zan." After some discussion at this time, Yuan Shao had already understood what everyone meant, so he asked.

"Our army and Gongsun Zan's army have formed a deep hatred. If we don't take advantage of the opportunity when Lu Bu and Cao Cao are busy fighting with others, Gongsun Zan will become a burden to our army in the future." Hearing that Yuan Shao understood the crowd The meaning, Tian Feng stepped forward again and said.
