Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 490
Seeing Guo Jia's eager look, Lu Bu smiled slightly, turned to look at Chen Gong behind him and asked, "Gongtai, where are Zhang Liao and the others now?"

"Prime Minister, after Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong captured Juancheng, they have led their troops to kill Yangzhou. I believe they will reach Yangzhou within a few days." Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu and said with a slight smile.

"The next step is to see Yuan Shu. I wonder how long Yuan Shu can last under the attack of Sun Ce, Liu Bei and Zhang Liao?" Lu Bu raised his head and looked into the distance, talking to himself.

"Yuan Shu is fighting on two fronts. With Liu Bei in the front and Sun Ce in the back, it is already very difficult. Now that Zhang Liao is added, I am afraid that Yuan Shu will soon mobilize troops from Yuzhou to defend Yangzhou, and maybe even take Cao Cao from Wancheng. It will also be transferred." Chen Gong said speculatively.

"Yes, I think Cao Cao is waiting for this opportunity, and this is exactly what we want." Lu Bu said with a slight brilliance in his eyes.Once Yuan Shu really can't support the battlefield in Yangzhou, he will definitely transfer troops from Yuzhou, and even transfer Cao Cao to Yangzhou. This is Cao Cao's opportunity. Cao Cao can use this opportunity to rush all the way from Yuzhou to Yangzhou Yuzhou is his own, and this is the opportunity that Lu Bu is waiting for. Once Yuzhou is empty, or Cao Cao attacks Yuzhou, Lu Bu can lead an army to invade Yuzhou, occupy Yuzhou, and then turn around to deal with Cao Cao and Yuan Shu. It's a breeze.

"Hey." Hearing this, Guo Jia couldn't help but sighed. Guo Jia understood that Lu Bu's plan was intertwined. Sincerely helping Yuan Shu to keep Lu Bu out of Yuzhou, but this is obviously impossible, not to mention that Cao Cao will not work for Yuan Shu, even if Cao Cao is really willing to do so, as long as Cao Cao leaves Wancheng and comes to block Lu Bu's army from entering Yuzhou, then Wancheng would be easily breached by Lu Bu's army, and even if Cao Cao stayed in Wancheng, Cao Cao would surely perish when Lu Bu conquered Yuzhou.

"Mr. Guo Jia and Bi are worried about the past. Let's think about how to end this troubled world and return the people to a peaceful and prosperous world." Seeing Guo Jia sigh, Lu Bu knew that Guo Jia still couldn't let go of the past, so He spoke out to persuade him, but Lu Bu was not worried. As long as this battle was won and Cao Cao was completely wiped out by Lu Bu, Guo Jia would be able to serve Lu Bu wholeheartedly.

At the same time, the atmosphere in Yuan Shu's palace in Shouchun was extremely dull. Yuan Shu's eyes were red, looking at all the civil and military ministers. In the past few days, Yuan Shu has not had a good sleep. Ever since Liu Bei and Sun Ce raised their troops respectively , there has been bad news coming from the front line, and the worst thing is that the news from Juancheng a few days ago made Yuan Shu sleepless. Juancheng was originally a city that Yuan Shu took over from Cao Cao. With Juancheng in hand, we can restrain the army from Yanzhou and prevent Lu Bu's army from directly attacking Yangzhou from Yanzhou. However, the loss of Juancheng at this time means that Lu Bu can start from Yanzhou and go all the way to Yangzhou and Shouzhou. Chun, how can this make Yuan Shu live.

"Talk, are you all dumb? Don't you just have the ability to flatter horses?" Yuan Shu sat on the dragon chair, roaring furiously, but all the ministers sitting down were silent as if they were chilling. Buried, afraid to speak.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, for the present plan, the best way is to negotiate peace with Lu Bu." After a while Yang Hong poked his head out and said to Yuan Shu.

"Peace talks? How to talk about peace talks? It's only been a few days since the widow proclaimed himself emperor, so he went to talk to Lu Bu, where is the face of the widow?" Yuan Shu said angrily, obviously not optimistic about Yang Hong's opinion, and even more reluctant to part with the one he just got. Emperor's title.

"Your Majesty, for the current plan, we must first mobilize troops and horses to defend around Yangzhou to prevent Lv Bu's army from attacking. I think Cao Cao is very capable and good at using troops. Why don't your majesty send Cao Cao to Yangzhou so that Lv Bu can be kept out of Yangzhou?" Seeing that everyone was speechless, Wei Zhongdao walked out slowly and said to Yuan Shu.

"Your Majesty, you can't. Cao Cao is born with rebellious bones. He is a capable minister in the world and a hero in troubled times. How can he be used by me? If Your Majesty recruits Cao Cao to lead troops, what is the difference from He Jin who recruited Dong Zhuo to Beijing?" Ting Wei When Zhongdao said this, Yang Hong couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, and said hastily.

"En?" When Wei Zhongdao said that he would transfer Cao Cao to Yangzhou at first, Yuan Shao was still a little moved, but when Yang Hong compared Cao Cao to Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu raised his brows, obviously he was very concerned about this matter.

"Mr. Yang, this statement is wrong. Back then when He Jin transferred Dong Zhuo to the capital, He Jin had few soldiers while Dong Zhuo had many. In addition, He Jin was killed by the ten servants. This is the disaster of Dong Zhuo. Now Your Majesty has hundreds of thousands of troops. , Cao Cao only has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Even if Cao Cao came to Yangzhou, he could only rely on His Majesty, so what can he do? What's more, Lu Bu occupied Yanzhou, which made Cao Cao fall into such a miserable state today. When Cao Cao came to Yangzhou, He will definitely deal with Lu Bu with all his strength, so how can he become my enemy and let Lu Bu take advantage of it?" After hearing Yang Hong's words, Wei Zhongdao said indifferently.

"En..." After hearing the argument between the two, Yuan Shu was silent for a while, and then asked Yang Hong: "If you mobilize troops from Yuzhou to enter Yangzhou, can you keep Yangzhou safe?"

"Your Majesty, if you mobilize troops from Yuzhou, Yangzhou will be safe, but I'm afraid that Yuzhou will no longer belong to me." Yang Hong said after hearing that Yuan Shu intends to mobilize troops from Yuzhou to defend Yangzhou.

"If Cao Cao is ordered to march into Sizhou, will it solve the worries of Yuzhou?" Lu Bu's soldiers and horses.

"Now Lu Bu is deploying troops in Bingzhou, and there are not many troops that can be transferred here. Even if Cao Cao sends troops to Sizhou, Lu Bu will not be able to spare troops to attack us." After a while, Yang Hong nodded slightly and said.

"In this way, mobilize Yuzhou soldiers and horses to come to King Qin, and let Cao Cao send troops to attack Sizhou." Yuan Shu glanced at Wei Zhongdao next to him and said.Yuan Shu and Cao Cao have known each other for many years, and they know Cao Cao well. Although Yuan Shu has many soldiers and horses at this time, once Cao Cao comes to Yangzhou, even Yuan Shu is confident that he can control Cao Cao. The farther away you are from yourself, the better.

When the news reached Wancheng, Cao Cao looked at the imperial decree sent by Yuan Shu, and laughed loudly: "Little Yuan Shu, seeing that he is about to perish, dare to send someone to instruct me? Come on, push the envoy out and behead him." With that said, Cao Cao threw the imperial decree sent by Yuan Shu to the ground and ignored it.

"Mr. Cao, what should we do next?" Cheng Yu asked quickly when he saw Cao Cao threw the imperial decree sent by Yuan Shu on the ground, so he knew that Cao Cao would never attack Sizhou as Yuan Shu said.

"Put the order down, post a notice immediately, and announce it to the world, saying that Yuan Shu is a traitor and proclaims himself emperor without authorization. I, Cao Cao, will gather with the princes of the world to jointly attack Yuan Shu. From now on, we will call for troops and horses, and we can go out at any time." Cao Cao speculated Ce said with a smile.

"Isn't that good? We must have a relationship with Yuan Shu?" Cheng Yu couldn't turn the corner when he heard Cao Cao say that if he turned his back on him, he would turn his back on him.

"Hey, although we have surrendered to Yuan Shu, only a few people know about it, and we haven't admitted it publicly. As long as we don't admit it, there is no proof. Besides, we are sending troops to attack Yuan Shu at this time, upholding the justice of the world. Who can say that we are on Yuan Shu's side." Cao Cao explained with a smile.

"This?" Cheng Yu was also shocked by Cao Cao's words, and hesitantly said: "Now that we are raising troops to attack Yuan Shu, we will definitely meet Lu Bu's army. I'm afraid that Lu Bu will not let us go."

"Hahaha, sir, you can rest assured on this point. Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, and Lu Bu called on the princes of the world to attack Yuan Shu. Now, only Sun Ce and Liu Bei have raised troops to deal with Yuan Shu. It can be seen that Lu Bu's image in the eyes of the princes of the world is not very good. At this time, our army responded Call, send troops to attack Yuan Shu. If Lu Bu attacks us, people in the world will say that Lu Bu has murdered his colleagues. If Lu Bu wants to win the world, he will definitely not attack our army at this time. Therefore, if our army does not send troops to attack Yuan Shu at this time If we don’t take the opportunity to expand our territory, Lu Bu will definitely wipe out our army after defeating Yuan Shu, but if our army sends troops to attack Yuan Shu, then Lu Bu will have to be cautious. Maybe this is the chance for our army to come back to life.” With Cheng Yu's worries, Cao Cao obviously saw this matter more clearly.

"After Cao Cao's words, I will understand immediately, so I will know what to do." Hearing this, Cheng Yu immediately understood Cao Cao's meaning, and had to be impressed by Cao Cao's resourcefulness. Before Cao Cao was defeated by Lu Bu, Cheng Yu thought Cao Cao was afraid that he would go downhill from now on, but he didn't expect that Cao Cao's resourcefulness was far beyond his expectations. Even though Cao Cao is not strong now, he is still a strong enemy of Lu Bu.

Cao Cao announced the news of the cavalry's crusade against Yuan Shu, and when it reached Yingchuan, Lu Bu's expression became clouded and he hesitated.But Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene. He could see that Lu Bu hesitated, and this also meant that Cao Cao would probably get through the difficulties in front of him safely.

"Order Xu Huang and Pang De to temporarily suspend the attack plan on Wancheng." After a while, Lu Bu finally made up his mind and passed the order to the soldiers beside him.

"Wait." Hearing Lu Bu's order, Chen Gong got up quickly, stopped the soldiers' order, turned to face Lu Bu and said, "My lord, Cao Cao is a hero of a generation. If he can't be eradicated, I'm afraid it will become a serious threat to our army in the future. .”
