Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 592 Siege of Fan Yang
"My lord, do you want Tian Feng to stay in Youzhou? It seems that my lord has high expectations for Youzhou. Tian Feng's tactical attainments are not high, but he has a lot of research in strategy. If Let Tian Feng stay in Youzhou for a few more years, it must be very good for the stability of the northern grassland." Hearing Lu Bu's plan to keep Tian Feng in Youzhou, Guo Jia smiled slightly, and immediately understood in his heart Lu Bu's purpose in doing so is definitely not simple.

Although Feng Ji is quite talented, it is not difficult for Lu Bu to deal with Yuan Tan and win Youzhou, but Lu Bu has to spend time to keep Tian Feng in Youzhou. Youzhou needs to be built even more so as to form a strong line of defense and completely keep the Xianbei people out of Youzhou.And this process must be long-term and cannot be accomplished overnight.

"Mister really knows my heart, but unfortunately, I don't plan to pass on the position of Prime Minister to you in the future. You won't blame me, will you?" Seeing that Guo Jia had come up with his own thoughts so quickly, Lu Bu looked back, somewhat okay. Said.

"Hehe, although I'm a bit clever, I'm not a talent for bringing stability to the country. My lord can see this clearly, which shows that my lord really knows how to use people well. My health has been bad, and I hope that one day I can take off the burden. Take a good rest." Hearing Lu Bu's frank and unfair words, Guo Jia also smiled and said to Lu Bu.

"Yes, the talent of the gentleman is unparalleled in the world, but in my heart, the gentleman is still not the best candidate for the prime minister. It is naturally the best if the gentleman can see it. In addition, I also hope that the gentleman can take good care of his body, so that the New Year's Eve After the war, there are not many of us left." Although Lu Bu and Guo Jia are monarchs and ministers, their relationship with each other is like that of friends.

"My lord, Xin Ping is here." At this moment, it was Cheng Yu who came over and bowed to Lu Bu.

"Oh, quickly invite Mr. Xin Ping to come here." Hearing the news of Xin Ping's arrival, Lu Bu said with a smile on his face.

"Xin Ping met the Lord Regent in Lower Jizhou." At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe walked over quickly, and when he saw Lu Bu, he quickly saluted him.

"Mr. Xin Ping is polite. It is the blessing of the people of Xindu that you can follow the general trend and save the people of Xindu from the disaster of war. I will keep in mind your merits and deeds." Seeing Xin Ping salute, Lu Bu hastily stepped forward. The former general helped Xin Ping up, and encouraged him.

"Thank you for the praise from the Regent. The Yuan family has acted against the law. Since this is the end, Jizhou can be included under the command of the Regent. The Cai family and the people of Jizhou are blessed. Now Yuan Xi has led Guo Tu and others to send troops to Julu, and wants to send the Regent King. Stopping at the front line of Julu, the new capital is empty, and I have already made arrangements, so I invite the regent to lead the troops into the city." Seeing that Lu Bu treated him with courtesy, Xin Ping was naturally quite satisfied with this choice, Hastily opened the mouth to say.

"Mr. Xin Ping, you are being polite. Xindu is the old nest of the department. When entering the city, you still have to be careful. In my opinion, let the two generals Dian Wei and Xu Chu go first, and wait for the two generals to settle the matter. Yuan Xi's remnant party in the new capital city, the regent is not too late to enter the city, I wonder what Mr. Xin Ping will do?" Seeing that Xin Ping invited Lu Bu to get up and enter the city, Lu Bu just smiled and said nothing, and Cheng Yu who was beside him immediately understood Lu Bu Meaning, he opened his mouth and said to Xin Ping.At this time, Lu Bu must have killed the body of ten thousand gold, so there is no need to take any risks for a city.

"Sir, what you said is very true. Naturally, the two generals should be the first to enter the city first, so as to clear all obstacles." Xin Ping is also a smart person. Hearing what Cheng Yu said, he immediately understood the reason, and he naturally knew In fact, inviting Lv Bu in this way was really reckless, and it was easy for others to suspect that he had ulterior motives, so he quickly called it right.

"Hehe, since the master said so, then Mr. Lao will lead them the way." Seeing Xin Ping finished speaking, Lu Bu smiled slightly, pointed at Dian Wei and Xu Chu and said: "You two will lead the troops into the city with Mr. Xinping, After entering the city, do not kill lightly, and the people in the city and Yuan Xi's family must not be alarmed, do you understand?"

"My lord, don't worry, this subordinate understands what to do." Hearing Lu Bu's order, Re nodded quickly and said.

The two moved very quickly, and Lu Bu was not alone for long outside Xindu City, but he heard some fighting sounds in the city.Soon after, it settled down, and soldiers went out of the city to welcome Lu Bu into the city.

"In the announcement, if the two brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan can surrender as soon as possible, I think based on the friendship with Yuan Shao in the past, they will be punished leniently in class and their lives will be spared. If they don't repent, their heads will be taken sooner or later." Control After entering Xinducheng, Lu Bu immediately issued an order. This order was for Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, as well as for officials of Jizhou and Youzhou, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi's party. The purpose of Lu Bu was to Force them to surrender and quickly stabilize the situation.

At the same time that Lu Bu captured Xindu, outside Fanyang City, the capital of Youzhou, a black line slowly approached from the sky.

"Look, what is that?" Outside Fan Yang City, a soldier asked in surprise as he saw the black line appearing in the distance.

"This? Could it be an enemy attack?" The soldier who was asked was stunned for a moment, and then panicked. It has been a long time since we saw this kind of battle, but everyone understood what this situation meant.

"Dang, dang, dang." At this moment, the rapid alarm bell rang, and the soldiers who were still a little hesitant, and the people who were constantly flowing at the gate of the city, quickly reacted, and there was really a low breath coming.And people quickly began to think about running around the city.

"General, Fan Yangcheng is ahead, why don't we let someone take the lead." On the other side, in front of the whole team, Guan Hai looked at Fan Yangcheng not far away, licked his tongue, and asked Gao Shun beside him road.

"Hehe, since the general is interested, you might as well give it a try, but the general, do you remember what I told the general when I came here?" Regarding Guan Hai's eagerness to fight, Gao Shun did not stop him, but brought up the previous matter.

"Hey, the general's words, the little ones will naturally remember, isn't it just that you can't kill innocent people? Don't worry, general, these people are no longer the Yellow Turban Army of the day. They will naturally remember the general's military law, and dare not slack off in the slightest." Listen to Gao Shun With such a question, Guan Hai said with some embarrassment.

"You remember it best. I might as well tell you that this time the other generals led their own troops to attack the city. With your military equipment, you could have attacked a county by yourself. The reason why I let you follow me is that I'm afraid you will kill innocent people. Yuan Tan's troops are far away in Julu, and this Youzhou will be our territory in the future, and the general must take good care of it." It turns out that Gao Shun's troops gathered at the border of Bingzhou and Youzhou However, Gao Shun did not bring all the troops to Fanyang, but divided several groups of troops to attack various counties and cities. He wanted to take down the entire Youzhou in the shortest possible time and bring Youzhou into Lu Bu's control. .

"Hehe, how dare I be negligent in what the general explained, just watch it, general." Guan Hai rode out on his horse, and as soon as he got off the horse, he shouted at his own soldiers and horses behind him: "You bastards! Listen to me, today we are here to seize the city, not to kill people. After entering the city, whoever dares to kill people or grab things indiscriminately, I will skin him. To tell you the truth, in the future, Fanyang City, It's our home, you have to love her like you love your own home, you understand?"

"General, this General Guan Hai is really funny." Seeing Guan Hai leading the troops away, a young general beside Gao Shun came on horseback and said to Lu Bu.This person is none other than Gongsun Zan's son, Gongsun Xu.It turned out that after Gongsun Xu left Luoyang, he had been under Gao Shun's tent, waiting for the opportunity to return to Youzhou. This time Gao Shun sent troops to Youzhou, Gongsun Xu naturally followed.

"General Gongsun came back to Fanyang again, and he must have felt a lot of emotion. It's just that the old general Gongsun Zan died young, and his enemy Yuan Shao also died of illness in Fanyang City. The fate of this life is really strange." See Gongsun Going forward, Gao Shun couldn't help sighing.

"Thank you, General, for your concern. I came to Youzhou this time to pay homage to my dead father, and secondly, to avenge his old man. Although Yuan Shao is no longer here, Yuan Shao's sons are still there. Although I can't intervene in grievances, I will not give up easily, and I must make the Yuan family pay the price." Seeing Gao Shun mentioning his father's matter, Gongsun Xu said through gritted teeth.

At the head of Julu City, Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan stood side by side, looking at the camp of Lu Bu's army in the distance, with complicated expressions on their faces.

"Mr. Fengji, what are you talking about? Lu Bu's army has been outside Julu City for several days. Why is there no movement at all? Could it be that Lu Bu came to Julu not to fight, but to make a home here?" Seeing the crowded Lu Bu barracks in front of him, but not showing any signs of attacking, Yuan Tan said angrily.

"Could it be that our previous guess was correct?" Feng Ji couldn't help but frowned when Yuan Tan said this, and said from the bottom of his heart.

"Well, it seems that there is indeed something suspicious in it." At this time, Yuan Tan also became suspicious, thinking that it is very likely that Gao Shun took the opportunity to attack Youzhou.

"You two don't need to worry. If there is really any change in Youzhou, there will be news from the city in the past two days. If there is no definite news, the two returned to Youzhou with troops, isn't it true? Did you give Lv Bu a chance to take Jizhou? By then, Youzhou will be dead, and there will be no room for buffering, but will directly face Lv Bu's attack." In the past few days, whenever Yuan Tan and Feng Ji talked about The topic of Gao Shun attacking Youzhou was always diverted by Guo Tu looking for reasons. In Guo Tu’s view, whether Gao Shun would attack Youzhou was not important to him. His troops stayed in Jizhou in order to keep Yuan Xi's territory.
