Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 540 Wei Army Strategy
But it was said that Zhang He and Gao Lan were rectifying the troops in Xiaoguan, and soon someone sent a letter, and the person who sent the letter was a retainer in Xu You's mansion.

"My lord, Zhen Hu, is here to deliver the letter by the order of Master Xu You." The messenger saw Zhang He and Gao Lan, and hurriedly put Xu You's letter up and said.

"Zhen Hu?" Hearing this name, both Zhang He and Gao Lan were surprised, a little surprised.You must know that there are not many people with the surname Zhen, but Zhen Xing has an extraordinary meaning in Jizhou.Because the Zhen family has been operating in Jizhou for many years and has great influence.And it is said that before Xu You went to Yuan Shao, he had a very close relationship with the Zhen family. When you think of this, you have to think about it. If it is related to the family, then even generals like Zhang He and Gao Lan have to pay attention to it.

"Excuse me, what is your relationship with the Zhen family of Jizhou?" Hearing the name Zhen Hu and thinking of the Zhen family of Jizhou, Zhang He asked.

"Hehe, the two generals are the prime minister. Sitting down, I will naturally not hide the two. Yes, I am indeed from the Zhen family. Mr. Xu You has reached an agreement with my master this time, and it is Zhen The government sent it to cooperate with Mr. Xu You." Zhen Hu said straightforwardly without any concealment.

"So that's it." Hearing what Zhen Hu said, Zhang He immediately understood the key point.You must know that although Xu You has been by Yuan Shao's side for a long time and knows the situation in Jizhou well, Guo Tu, who is sitting in Jizhou at this time, is not in harmony with Xu You, and he knows Xu You's past even more clearly. However, after Xu You surrendered to Lu Bu, Guo Tu would naturally cut them off completely without mercy, but it was completely different if Xu You found the Zhen family as a backing.

Figured out the key, Zhang He quickly opened Xu You's letter and read it. Although Lu Bu asked Zhang He and Gao Lan to send troops to Jizhou, but the huge territory of Jizhou, Zhang He and Gao Lan didn't have many soldiers in their hands, so it was impossible to do it. No matter how much movement there is, it is natural to listen to Xu You's opinion.

"What did you say in the letter?" Seeing that Zhang He had finished reading the letter, Gao Lan asked quickly.

"Hehe, Mr. Xu You's meaning is very simple. Jizhou is the foundation of Yuan Shao. The country is rich and the people are strong. If you want to take Jizhou, you must first take the Wei army. First, the distance between the Wei army and Xiaoguan is relatively close, which is conducive to Bingzhou. Supplementing troops, Laiwei County is located between Xindu, the capital of Bingzhou, and Yecheng. With the fortress of Wei Jun, the whole Jizhou will be under the threat of the general's military strength, as the saying goes. Zhen Hu came to the side of the map, pointed to the location of Wei Jun and said to the two of them.

"Hahaha, it's true that the heroes see the same thing, and we are also sending troops to the Wei army." Zhang He and Gao Lan looked at each other and said excitedly.

It turns out that Zhang He and Gao Lan have already discussed the route for troops to enter Jizhou these days. Both Xindu and Yecheng are important places in Jizhou. They must be guarded by heavy troops. It is really difficult to capture them. It doesn't make much sense to conquer it. It must be the first battle between Zhang He and Gao Lan after they surrendered to Lu Bu. Only by playing some prestige can they gain a higher status in Lu Bu's army in the future, so the two finally discussed. The result was also Wei Jun, and they were a little overjoyed to get Xu You's opinion at this time.

"That would be great. To be honest, Lord Xu You is already waiting for the two adults in Wei Jun City. As soon as the soldiers and horses of the two adults arrive at Wei Jun City, someone will immediately open the city gate for the two adults and explain Wei Jun. Naturally, you can get it at your fingertips." Seeing that Zhang Liao and Xu You had no objections, Zhen Hu quickly got up and said.

"I don't know if the members of the Zhen family are also in Wei County at this time?" Since Xu You first contacted the Zhen family when he returned to Jizhou, Zhang He thought of a possibility. Could it be that the members of the Zhen family have arrived in Wei County at this time? , ready to be included in Lu Bu's tent with Wei Jun.

"Hehe, my master is not in Wei County, they stayed in other places, but Mr. Xu You is not suitable for running around, so he is only waiting for the two generals in Wei County." Zhen Hu said with a smile.

"So that's it. Please go back and report to Mr. Xu You first. Our army will arrive in Wei County in a few days." At this time, Zhang He and Gao Lan had already figured out Xu You's plan, and they were even more shocked by the courage of the Zhen family. .You must know that the Zhen family's wealth in Jizhou is very huge, and the Zhen family's headquarters is in Yecheng. Since the Zhen family has supported Xu You, it shows that the Zhen family has the intention to surrender to Lu Bu, and is not prepared to join Wei Jun If he defected, it meant that the Zhen family would have bigger plans.

"In that case, I will take my leave first, and I will wait with Mr. Xu You in Wei County for the arrival of the two generals." After speaking, Zhen Hu bowed his hands to the two and turned to leave.

"The Zhen family doesn't want to give the city of Ye as a gift to the Prime Minister, right?" Gao Lan said to Zhang He in disbelief only after Zhen Hu left.

"Hey, as the saying goes, everyone pushed the wall down. Duke Yuan was defeated by Lu Bu twice. Although he occupied a large area of ​​Bingzhou, he couldn't recover from the decline. I think the day of defeat is not far away." At this time, Zhang He was also inevitable. sigh.

A few days later, the army of Zhang He and Gao Lan arrived at the city of Wei Jun. Yuan Fang, the prefect of the Wei Jun, was a member of the Yuan family. Gao Lan came with troops, and suddenly lost his mind.

"What should I do now? Zhang He and Gao Lan, two rebellious boys, surrendered to Lv Bu, and led troops to fight back. How can I resist this?" Knowing that Zhang He and Gao Lan were approaching the city, Yuan Fang Immediately lost sense of proportion, do not know what to do.Originally, Yuan Shao sent troops to Hanoi, leaving Wen Chou and Guan Yu stationed in Jizhou. At that time, in order to prevent Gao Shun from being killed by Xiao Guan, Wen Chou and Guan Yu's troops were stationed in the Wei army. At that time, Yuan Fang naturally did not have to worry about the safety of the Wei army.But unexpectedly, Wen Chou was transferred to Bingzhou by Yuan Shao, but Lu Bu's soldiers and horses came to the door of his house.

"You guys are talking, what should we do now." Yuan Fang was annoyed seeing that no one spoke among the civil and military people sitting down.

"Well, Mr. Yuan is in Bingzhou now, and Mr. Guo Tu is in charge of Jizhou's affairs. The prefect may as well send someone to Yecheng to ask for help. Mr. Guo Tu will definitely not ignore it." At this time, someone finally stood up and suggested to Yuan Fang road.

Yuan Fang raised his eyes and saw that this person was Chen Cheng, a son of a well-known wealthy family in Wei Jun City. The Chen family got some money from doing business, so they sent Chen Cheng to work in the prefect's mansion. Official career, in order to glorify the lintel, but this kind of businessman, Yuan Fanglai didn't like to see him, he didn't expect that only this person he didn't like to see could give Yuan Fang some advice at this time.

"What do you think?" Yuan Fang cast a sideways glance at Chen Cheng and asked the other civil and military officials.

"For today's plan, that's the way it is." The others quickly echoed.

"Then, who is willing to go to Yecheng and ask for reinforcements for me?" Yuan Fang continued to ask.

"This?" Seeing Yuan Fang's gaze sweeping over, everyone panicked. Now that Zhang He and Gao Lan are approaching the city, everyone knows how powerful Zhang He and Gao Lan are. If anyone is willing to go out and ask for help, doesn't it mean that they are close to death? , So everyone fell silent again.

"A group of idiots, everyone can speak well at ordinary times, why are they all dumb when they need you?" Looking at the crowd of civil and military men, Yuan Fang said angrily.

"My lord, there is a man in the subordinate's mansion who is brave and different from ordinary people. He is worthy of the responsibility of delivering the letter. I thought the prefect would share his worries." Seeing the silence on the left and right, Chen Cheng got up again and said.

"I can't tell, but you are still loyal to me at the critical moment. I'll write a letter right away, and you ask the people in your mansion to send a letter to Yecheng for help." Seeing Chen Cheng like this, Yuan Fang suddenly felt moved, and felt that he was king. For example, he felt a little guilty about Chen Chengcheng, and secretly made up his mind that he must make up for it in the future.

"It's a villain's blessing to be able to contribute to the prefect." Chen Cheng nodded quickly, but there was a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

Not long after, there were more people at the gate of Wei Jun's city. The first person was none other than Zhen Hu who went to meet Zhang He in Xiaoguan, and the young man next to Zhen Hu was Chen Cheng, and the people behind them were just They are members of the Chen family.

"Stop, idlers are not allowed to approach the city gate. Don't you know that there are enemy troops approaching outside the city, and you dare to move around?" Seeing the crowd coming to the city gate, soldiers stepped forward to stop them, although Chen Cheng was the prefect The people in the mansion, but they are not allowed to be seen by the eunuchs, so that these soldiers guarding the city do not give Chen Cheng any face.

"Hmph, a bunch of bullshit guys, you can clearly see that this is the edict of the prefect." Seeing that these soldiers ignored his existence, Chen Cheng also showed no anger, and stepped forward to take out a roll of documents to the soldiers blocking the way Shaking in front of him, he said, "Don't invite your superiors yet."

"Uh, I'll go and invite you, sir. Please wait a moment, sir." The soldier became a little nervous when he saw it, and turned to look for his surrender.

"Hmph, now that the war is tense, any cat or dog dares to come to me. If there is no urgent matter, I will not give him a good look." Not long after, a lazy voice came, and a burly man appeared in front of Chen Cheng. It is the general who guards the gate.

"Lv Bu's army is pressing down on the country. The prefect asked me to send someone to Yecheng to ask for help. This is a document. You can see for yourself." Chen Cheng glanced at the general, threw the document in his hand, and turned around to bring the people around him. Jia Ding and Zhen Hu walked towards the gate of the city.

"Stop, the letter just said that one person needs to go out of the city to ask for help in Yecheng. What are you doing with so many people? Could it be that you want to join the enemy?" The general glanced at the document in his hand, and then blocked it with a loud shout. Shouted loudly in front of everyone.The family of the general who is famous for holding the city gate also has some business, which happens to be in competition with Chen Cheng's family's business, so the relationship between the two families is not good, so it's no wonder that they have trouble with Chen Cheng at this time.Always thinking about how to hit the Chen family.
