Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 541 Fish and Bear's Paws
"Hmph, do you know that some of us are going to Yecheng for help? Since the general doesn't want my people to escort him, please lead the team and escort my brother out of the siege and go to Yecheng." Seeing this man So, Chen Cheng sneered and said bluntly.

"Uh," the general was visibly stunned when he heard Chen Cheng's words, and only then did he notice that the men and horses led by Chen Cheng were all capable, and when the general swept towards his soldiers, the soldiers suddenly felt guilty , I couldn't help taking a step back, obviously no one wanted to go out, if these people said that they usually oppressed goodness, they still felt comfortable, and now they would be willing when it was time to go all out.

"If the general has no other arrangements, please open the city gate for us." Seeing that the general was speechless, Chen Cheng said with a hint of sarcasm, his lips curled up slightly.

"Come and open the city gate and let them leave." The general failed to get a bargain from Chen Cheng, and he was unwilling to entangle him any longer, so he sent an order.

At this time, soldiers were seen walking towards the gate of the city, and then opened the gate, while the people brought by Chen Cheng scattered in all directions, trailing behind the soldiers guarding the city one by one.

"Hehe, this general, the future is bleak when I go to Yecheng this time. Before I leave, I want to ask the general to keep something for you. Please don't refuse." Seeing that the city gate was wide open, Zhen Hu turned and came to the Beside the general guarding the city, he bowed slightly and said.

"Um, hehe, you're welcome. I wonder if you have something for me to keep?" The general immediately became interested after hearing what Zhen Hu said, and quickly turned around and came to Zhen Hu's side.

At this moment, I saw Zhen Hu took a step forward and came to the general. With just a flick of his wrist, a gleaming dagger appeared in his hand, and it pointed straight at the general's abdomen. There was only a sound of "Puchi", and I couldn't help but plunged into the general's chest and abdomen.

"You?" The general was startled, but it was too late, Zhen Hu turned the dagger in his hand, the general in front of him twitched suddenly, and then went limp, completely severing his vitality.

"Ah." At this time, there was also a scream at the gate of the city, but it was the other people brought by Chen Cheng who also attacked the other soldiers at the same time.

"Are you going to rebel?" A soldier was stunned by the sudden scene, and wanted to stop, but the sound just uttered attracted other people's siege, and the soldier was caught in a breath Several soldiers surrounded and died.

"Look, General Zhang, the city gate is indeed open." At this moment, Gao Lan outside the city also saw what happened here, and hurriedly said to Zhang He beside him.

"General Zhang He, General Gao Lan, we have led people to control the city gate, please enter the city quickly, two generals." At this moment, a figure appeared at the gate of the city, but it was Zhen Hu, who came to the gate of the city and faced Zhang Hehe Gaolan shouted.

"Brothers, follow me into the city and capture Yuan Fang alive." Seeing this scene, Zhang He did not hesitate, and quickly mobilized his troops and rushed towards the city gate.

"What's going on? Bring me someone to close the gate of the city." On the tower, Yuan Fang was waiting to see how Chen Cheng's men would break out of the siege and report to Yecheng. Unexpectedly, such an accident happened, and his face turned pale with shock. , The sweat on his head rolled down immediately, but he was not slow to react, and quickly sent people to try to close the city gate in order to restore the situation that was about to fall.

"The prefect is not well. Chen Cheng rebelled and led people to kill the defenders at the gate of the city. He wants to let Zhang He and Gao Lan into the city." At this time, a general finally brought the exact news and reported it to Yuan Fang.

"Hold on to me, never let Zhang He and the others come in." Hearing this news, Yuan Fang was even more shocked, but at this moment he could not care about Chen Cheng's betrayal, and he only had one extravagant hope in his heart at this time, which was to regain the city gate. Keep Zhang He and Gao Lan out of the city.

"Kill!" There was a shout, but it was Zhang He who had already led his troops into the city of Weijun. It turned out that Zhang He and Gao Lan were quite famous in Jizhou. How could any of the officers and soldiers of Weijun dare to stop them? As soon as they made contact, many soldiers knelt down and surrendered directly, so that the two of them completely controlled Wei Jun within a short time.

The news that Zhang He and Gao Lan captured Wei County reached Shangdang, and Lu Bu hurriedly summoned a group of civil and military officials to discuss, "Zhang He and Gao Lan have captured Wei County, which is much easier than I imagined. It seems that our plan to attack Jizhou needs to be carried out ahead of time, and I don’t know what you think about it.”

"Congratulations to the Prime Minister for capturing Wei County. Zhang He and Gao Lan can make achievements at such a fast speed. The previous arrangement of forming the Prime Minister was wise and decisive. I feel that we should take advantage of this opportunity and take Jizhou in one go. It's just that the Prime Minister has already agreed with you. Yuan Shao made an appointment to fight. If the prime minister leaves Bingzhou at this time, he will naturally be able to win Jizhou more smoothly. However, it may damage the reputation of the prime minister and make people in the world feel that the prime minister is not trustworthy. So the ministers think that However, the prime minister might as well just send soldiers and horses to fight in Jizhou, while the prime minister will lead the wolf riders to stay in Shangdang and deal with Yuan Shao. This way, it will neither affect the war in Jizhou nor damage the reputation of the prime minister. It's the so-called killing two birds with one stone." Hearing Lu Bu's question, Cheng Yu stood up and said, although everyone knew that Lu Bu and Yuan Shao's appointment to fight Jinyang was just a strategy of attacking the west, but the current strategy of attacking Jizhou was carried out. It went well, which made everyone feel that this war was not as difficult as imagined, so they had higher requirements for this war.

"What do you think of Fengxiao?" Lu Bu was naturally moved by Cheng Yu's proposal, and it must not be a last resort. Lu Bu also didn't want to be considered a person who broke his promise, but the risk would become great in this way. Now, how to balance the two, Lu Bu still wants to hear more opinions.

"In the battle of Jizhou, how many troops will the prime minister plan to invest, and who will he make in command?" Seeing Lu Bu's question, Guo Jia did not answer directly, but asked two very ordinary questions.

You must know that the battle of Jizhou is no small matter. Although Yuan Shao's main force is not in Jizhou, but Jizhou is where Yuan Shao's foundation lies, so Lu Bu will definitely invest a lot of soldiers and horses, and these soldiers and horses will be the elite of Lu Bu's army, and these elites The soldiers and horses are exactly the essence of Lu Bu's army, and this leads to Guo Jia's second question, who should be the commander of these soldiers and horses?You must know that in the past these soldiers and horses had always been deployed with Lu Bu's consent, and the control over these soldiers and horses was also the basis for Lu Bu to sit on half of the country, and it could not be handed over to others no matter what.This determines that once the battle of Jizhou really starts, the coach of the battle of Jizhou can only be one person, and this person must be Lu Bu.And Guo Jia's two questions are precisely to tell Lu Bu how powerful this is.

"I can do what I want for fish, and I can do what I want for bear's paws." After thinking about the whole thing, Lu Bu spread his hands and looked over and over again, and finally made a decision: "The army is ordered to set off today and go to Jizhou. I will personally lead the army to oversee the battle."

"Yes" Seeing that Lu Bu had made a decision, all the generals quickly agreed.

"My lord prime minister, you have gone to Jizhou, what about the affairs of Bingzhou?" Seeing that Lu Bu didn't adopt his own opinion, Cheng Yu asked a bit confused.

"Hehe, don't worry about this, I have my own arrangements." Lu Bu turned to look at Gao Shun and said, "General Gao Shun, I will leave the affairs of Bingzhou to you. From now on, my commander-in-chief flag will remain on the Party, in order to contain Yuan Shao's actions."

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, this subordinate understands what to do." Gao Shun understood that Lu Bu didn't want to leave a reputation of being dishonest, so he left the commander-in-chief flag in Shangdang, and what Gao Shun had to do was to do his best Perform this play well for Lu Bu.

"Report, I report to the general that a large number of Shangdang troops are moving towards Xiaoguan." The news of Lu Bu's army moving to Jizhou quickly alarmed Yuan Shao's scouts, so someone reported back to Yuan Shao.

"My lord, it seems that Lu Bu's plan to fight us in Jinyang is completely teasing us. His brigade of soldiers and horses moving towards Xiaoguan must be aimed at Jizhou. Please make a decision early, my lord." Jushou hurriedly heard the news He rushed over and said to Yuan Shao.

"Huh, Lv Bu, you dare to lie to me. I will send troops to Shangdang right now, and I will definitely cut off his head." Hearing this news, Yuan Shao was furious. Finding a way to mobilize soldiers and horses to fight with Lu Bu, at this time, knowing that this was just a scam by Lu Bu, he suddenly became angry and wanted to find Lu Bu for a decisive battle.

"My lord, the most important thing now is not the Shangdang. Lu Bu's army is heading towards Xiaoguan. Our army should set off immediately and intercept Lu Bu's army on the way to Xiaoguan. Only in this way can we have a better chance of winning." Ju Shou understood that with the current situation between the two sides In comparison of troops, there is not much chance of winning if you want to attack Shangdang, only the field side has more chances of winning.

"Report, Lord of the Cavalry, Lord Guo Tu of Jizhou has sent news that Zhang He and Gao Lan have led the rebels to occupy the Wei army and threaten Yecheng. Lord Guo Tu asks the Lord to send reinforcements." At this moment, another soldier rushed in. It brought bad news to Yuan Shao.

"Ah, Lu Bu, it turned out that he was scheming against me from the very beginning." Hearing this news, Yuan Shao immediately sat back down, his blood surged up, and he almost vomited blood. Yuan Shao really couldn't accept the facts before him. Jizhou is the root of Yuan Shao, if there is a mistake, the blow to Yuan Shao will be immeasurable.

"My lord, a certain family is willing to lead an army to kill Lu Bu. If they can't kill Lu Bu, a certain family is willing to lose this master." Seeing the serious situation, Wen Chou stepped out and bowed to Yuan Shao.
