Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 467 Advance into Taihang Mountain

"You two performed very well in this battle. From now on, you will stay in Sizhou and help Jia Xu deal with Sizhou's affairs." After dealing with Li Dianlejin and Yu Jin's affairs, Lu Bu galloped to Pound and Xu Akira said beside him.

Although Cao Cao was defeated at this time, the matter in Sizhou was not over yet. Lu Bu had already promised Guo Jia to let Cao Cao go, so it was not easy to break his word. However, Lu Bu did not deal with Cao Cao himself, which did not mean that Sizhou could not pursue and kill Cao Cao. At this time, keeping Xu Huang and Pang De in Sizhou can strengthen Sizhou's strength on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is just right for these two to chase and kill Cao Cao who fled after a big defeat.In this way, it depends on Cao Cao's luck.

After the war, Lu Bu led his troops to Hongnong, and Jia Xu hurriedly brought a group of people to meet Lu Bu.

"I heard that the general promised Guo Jia that he would not pursue and kill Cao Cao, but that he wanted to let Cao Cao go. I don't know what's the matter?" Jia Xu hurriedly walked over to Lv Bu and asked in a low voice when he saw Lv Bu.

"Haha, does Mr. Jia Xu have a different view on this matter?" Lu Bu glanced at Guo Jia who was following behind him, and said with a laugh.

"Cao Cao is the hero of the world. This time he was defeated and lost. My lord should take this opportunity to completely wipe out Cao Cao and eliminate future troubles forever. My lord is now letting Cao Cao go for the sake of others. I have no intention of letting the tiger go back to the mountain. My lord, please think twice." Not caring about letting Cao Cao leave Sizhou, Guo Jiashan stepped forward to persuade Lv Bu.

"Hehe" Facing Jia Xu's earnest persuasion, Lu Bu smiled mysteriously, and continued, "Do you know why Cao Cao lost so badly this time, sir?"

Seeing Lu Bu say this, Jia Xu was a little puzzled and said, "Please tell me clearly, my lord."

"Back when Cao Cao made an edict and invited the princes of the world to attack Dong Zhuo, I knew that Cao Cao was very human and would achieve great things in the future, so I already had the heart to kill Cao Cao. But when Xun Yu came out to protect Cao Cao, I thought it was because of Xun Yu I let Cao Cao go in the face of Yu, because I know that Cao Cao, who lost Xun Yu, has lost an arm. Without Xun Yu's arm, Cao Cao will definitely not be my opponent in the future. Now Cao Cao's most important adviser Guo Mr. Jia is already in my Lu Bu army, Cao Cao is already a toothless tiger, defeat is only a matter of time, why should I bother with a dying man." Lu Bu said this loudly, not only the Jia in front of him Xu, even the generals around him have heard Lu Bu's words, and they all cast surprised eyes. None of these people thought that Cao Cao's defeat today was related to Lu Bu's subjugation of Xun Yu many years ago, and Lu Bu actually Since when did he start to deal with Cao Cao.

"Duke Ming, this subordinate feels a little uncomfortable, so I'll take my leave first." Seeing Lu Bu's triumphant look, and hearing Lu Bu's words just now, Guo Jia felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, and said goodbye to Lu Bu.

"Come here, send Mr. Guo Jia to rest." Lu Bu heard that Guo Jia was not feeling well, so he quickly sent someone to send Guo Jia to rest, and then said to Guo Jia with concern: "Sir, just take a good rest, I will let people find the best one." Doctor go."

"Thank you, Mr. Ming, for your concern." After speaking, Guo Jia turned and left. At this time, Guo Jia's emotions were very complicated, and he was even a little disturbed. It is also difficult to turn over.

"My lord, do you want me to secretly send someone to hunt down Cao Cao?" Watching Guo Jia leave, Jia Xu already knew that Lu Bu's attitude towards Guo Jia was just like how he treated Xun Yu back then, and he insisted on pulling Guo Jia into his camp. However, although Lu Bu agreed to let Cao Cao live, it does not mean that the territory occupied by Cao Cao in Sizhou does not need to be taken back. When the territory is taken back, it is also possible to secretly send people to chase and kill Cao Cao. Unknowingly.

"No need, Cao Cao is not a simple person. If it wasn't for you and me, it would be impossible to kill Cao Cao. What's more, our enemy is not only Cao Cao." Hearing Jia Xu's question, Lu Bu's face became calm. Come down, I don't accept the complacency just now, in fact, Lu Bu pretended not to care about Cao Cao just now, only Lu Bu knows how thrilling the victory against Cao Cao is, and Lu Bu understands better than anyone else that Cao Cao is himself However, the current situation forced Lu Bu to let go of the war with Cao Cao.

"Could it be that Hebei has changed?" Hearing what Lu Bu said, Jia Xu also quickly smelled the smell of gunpowder and looked towards the north.

"Ever since Ma Teng killed the deceived prefect Zhang Yang and annexed his followers, he has been secretly dispatching people. We don't know what Ma Teng will do now, but according to the timing, it's time for Ma Teng to make a move. In addition In the war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in Jizhou, Yuan Shao has also won a decisive victory, and whether Yuan Shao will send his troops south or continue to attack Gongsun Zan is still unknown, but we should start preparing." Lu Bu's face turned pale. Said gloomyly.

"So it turns out that Ma Teng and Yuan Shao are indeed strong opponents. But I think the general has already prepared." Hearing Lu Bu's words, Jia Xu seemed to have heard something from Lu Bu's words, and looked at them with a slight smile. Lu Bu said.

"Oh, sir, you are really talented, then why don't you tell me, what preparations have I made?" Lu Bu turned to look at Jia Xu and asked with interest.

"I heard that the lord once personally went to Mount Tai and surrendered the yellow scarves. Now there are millions of yellow scarves hidden in the Taihang Mountains. When Zhang Yan was here in the past, these yellow scarves were all regarded as the commander in chief. Now these yellow scarves The people and horses are scattered, each doing their own thing. If the lord sends the Yellow Turban of Mount Tai to Taihang Mountain, he can control the Yellow Turban near Taihang Mountain within a few years. With this power, the lord has no intention of inserting a nail in Hebei. If Teng wants to deal with leading troops southward, he has to consider the safety of Bingzhou and Jizhou, and the Taihang Mountain is fertile and wild, can be attacked and defended, even if they want to wipe out the Yellow Turbans in Taihang Mountain, it is still impossible." Jia Xu. He pondered for a while and talked eloquently.

"Hahaha, Mr. is worthy of being a ghost, what he said and thought is exactly what I want. It's just that although Taishan Guanhai is famous among the Yellow Turbans, the Yellow Turbans are still just a mob, and a general needs to be sent there. These Yellow Turbans from Taihang Mountain can really be used by me, who do you think is the most suitable to send?" Lu Bu knew the loose management of the Yellow Turban Army very well, and knew that it was impossible to train a strong team with such a loose management, so Lu Bu So he wanted to send a general to go with Guan Hai, so that Taihang Mountain could be turned into a real fortress, and it would not be a problem to provide Lu Bu with excellent soldiers.

"I feel that General Gao Shun has been in the army for a long time and is very good at training troops, which is just right for this matter. The most important thing is that with General Gao Shun's position in our army, as long as General Gao Shun waved his arms in the Taihang Mountains, the Taihang Mountains would be as big as yellow scarves. They must all respond." Jia Xu said after thinking for a while.

"I'm afraid that once Gao Shun goes to Taihang Mountain, Ma Teng and Yuan Shao will immediately know our army's intentions. At that time, they will definitely send troops to destroy the Yellow Turban in Taihang Mountain first, and won't let the power of Taihang Mountain grow slowly." Lu Bu said somewhat He said worriedly that Gao Shun's position in Lu Bu's army must be too high. Once Gao Shun appeared in Taihang Mountain, Yuan Shao and Ma Teng would know that Lu Bu wanted to set up a nail in Taihang Mountain, and a fierce battle would be inevitable.

"Hehe, isn't this just right? As long as Ma Teng and Yuan Shao focus on Taihang Mountain, then Yanzhou and Sizhou can have time to recuperate." Unlike Lu Bu who was worried about the situation in Taihang Mountain, Jia Xu looked calm However, in Jia Xu's mind, such a misfortune could not be better.

"Well, this can give Yanzhou and Sizhou a chance to recuperate. That's the deal. Order Guan Hai to lead the troops to cross the Yellow River to Taihang Mountain today. Order Gao Shun to select [-] elite soldiers and station them in Taihang Mountain with Guan Hai. I ordered Zhang Xiu in Hanoi to fully cooperate with Gao Shun, and I will turn Taihang Mountain into a fortress in Hebei to make Yuan Shao and Ma Teng restless day and night." After a while, Lu Bu finally made up his mind and agreed. Compared with always worrying about being attacked by others, Lu Bu liked the feeling of attacking others more. What's more, no matter how fierce the Taihang Mountain was fought, the battlefield must be in Taihang Mountain, which was better for Lu Bu than setting the battlefield in Yanzhou or Sizhou. Much more beneficial.

Since Lu Bu led his troops into Sizhou, it has been more than a year since Lu Bu's army has been fighting abroad. During this year, Lu Bu's army has been transferred to Sizhou and Yanzhou, and they are exhausted.It was also time to take a break. After arranging the advance to the Taihang Mountains, Lu Bu finally breathed a sigh of relief and could relax.

"My lord, should Generals Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong be transferred back?" Seeing that Lv Bu seemed to have forgotten Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong who were far away in Lushan, Jia Xu hurriedly stepped forward to remind Lv Bu.

"Ah, haha, yes, it's time for them to take a good rest. Order Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong to station in Yanzhou." Although there is Chen Gong in Yanzhou, Chen Gong must be a civil servant. Although he has plans, he can't go to the battlefield. After Hua Xiong and Zhang Liao, Lu Bu can rest assured about the Yanzhou matter.

"Report, Chang'an sent an urgent report." Just when Lu Bu had just arranged everything, a soldier rushed in and reported to Lu Bu.

Lv Bu hurriedly got up and asked each other, only then did he know that Ma Teng had assembled an army of 15 troops to the foot of Chang'an City at some time and was attacking Chang'an City.Now that Xun Yu had secured the city of Chang'an, he sent someone to report to Lv Bu, hoping that Lv Bu would send reinforcements quickly to break the siege of Chang'an.
