"Ha ha!"
Lu Bu looked at the letter in his hand and couldn't help but laugh to the sky.
"It's so funny. I didn't expect Cao Mengde to send me a letter."
At this point, Lu Bu paused, "Everyone, what do you think we should do?"
Cheng Lian said hurriedly, "Since we already have accurate information, why not take this opportunity to directly add the troops of Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, to eliminate them."
Lu Bu nodded, but said nothing, and turned to look at the rest of the people.
Zhang Liao frowned and said, "If we go by the trust statement, it is indeed possible for us to eliminate Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou.
But in this case, it doesn't match our plan. "
Lu Bu nodded, "This is what I'm worried about as well. If we take this opportunity to eliminate Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, it would be good, but it would also offend Yuan Shao of Jizhou.
If Yuan Shao of Jizhou is dissatisfied, it will be detrimental to our army if he leads troops to join Cao Mengde. "
Xu Shu smiled and said, "Since it doesn't feel right, then don't do it and just follow the original plan."
Lu Bu frowned and said, "But what should I do with this letter?"
Xu Shu waved his hand, "We already sent the letter back to the eldest son of Jizhou, Yuan Tan, last time. Why don't we give it to him this time too."
Cheng Lian shook his head, "What's the use? Last time I thought that the eldest son of Jizhou, Yuan Tan, would settle the score with Cao Mengde, but there was no news.
I think even if I send the letter this time, I'm afraid there won't be any results. "
Xu Shu shook his head, "Actually, this is already a good result. If Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, is angry now, it is just a moment of anger. It is absolutely impossible to deal with Cao Mengde.
On the contrary, it is better to let Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, hold his breath. When his anger reaches a certain level, he will explode completely. By then, even if we don't take action, Cao Mengde will not be able to escape this disaster. "
After hearing this, Lu Bu smiled and nodded, "In that case, then send this letter back."
…
The eldest princes of Jizhou, Yuan Tan and Guo Tu, were discussing matters when suddenly there were rapid footsteps outside the door.
Soon, a soldier walked in quickly and said, "Master, someone has sent a letter."
The eldest son of Jizhou, Yuan Tan, was stunned for a moment. He took the letter and quickly checked it, but he only saw half of it. He became angry and blushed. He punched the table with his fist and roared.
"Cao Mengde, I want your life!"
Guo Tu and Xin Ping on the side were startled and asked hurriedly, "Master, what happened?"
Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, sneered and threw the letter on the table, "Cao Mengde actually sent a letter to Lu Bu again."
"What?"
Xin Ping's expression changed, "How is this possible?"
Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, snorted coldly, "How is this impossible? The letter is here. If you don't believe it, you can see it for yourself."
Xin Ping hurriedly picked up the letter on the table and read it quickly. After reading it, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Just now, in order to take the overall situation into consideration, he kept distinguishing between Cao Mengde and wanted everyone to live in peace.
But unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Cao Mengde sent another message to Lu Bu, which made him feel extremely embarrassed.
"Mr. Zhongzhi, what else do you have to say this time?"
"I?"
Faced with the accusation from Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, Xin Ping really had nothing to say and could only stand there blankly with bitterness on his face.
