Le Jin frowned and said,
"If this is really the case, then this matter will be difficult to handle." Lu Qian asked doubtfully.
"General Le, why do you say this?" Le Jin said with a wry smile,
"If Lu Bu is afraid of Yuan Shao of Jizhou, then he will naturally not dare to fight against the eldest son of Jizhou Yuan Tan. Even if we set up a plan, I am afraid that Lu Bu still dare not fight against the eldest son of Jizhou Yuan Tan. If Lu Bu refuses to fight against the eldest son of Jizhou Yuan Tan If we want to fight, we will have to go out on our own. But if we do this, we will easily be discovered by Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, and things will be bad then." After hearing these words, everyone couldn't help but nod.
Lu Qian frowned and said,
"Our main purpose this time is to get Lu Bu into a fight with the eldest son of Jizhou, Yuan Tan. If we come forward, wouldn't it mean that Lu Bu gets the advantage of the fisherman?" Le Jin nodded,
"Yes, that's what I'm worried about. If Lu Bu refuses, we have no choice but to come forward ourselves." Lu Qian said slowly,
"This won't work. We must find a way to get Lu Bu and the eldest son of Jizhou Yuan Tan to fight, otherwise it will be detrimental to us." Le Jin said with a wry smile.
"But what can be done?" Li Dian gritted his teeth.
"No, we must let Lu Bu and Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, fight. Otherwise, even if we set up this strategy, it will be meaningless." Cao Mengde gradually frowned when he heard these words.
The reason for setting up this strategy this time was to lure Lu Bu into the water and then stay out of it.
Even if Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, escapes by chance, the person he is looking for is Lu Bu and has nothing to do with him. This is the essence of this plan.
But if Lu Bu refuses to come forward and confront the eldest son of Jizhou Yuan Tan, then he can only fight with his own troops and horses head-on against the eldest son of Jizhou Yuan Tan.
When the time comes when Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, knows that he is the instigator of this plan, he will definitely be furious and tell his father, Yuan Shao of Jizhou, that the father and son will come together for revenge, which will be terrible.
When the time comes, the person who benefits the most is not himself but Lu Bu. This is a result Cao Mengde doesn't want to see.
Even if he rejected this strategy, Cao Mengde did not want Lu Bu to take advantage. Do we really want to veto this plan?
Just when Cao Mengde was frowning, Le Jin frowned and suddenly said,
"Actually, there is a way." After hearing this, Cao Mengde's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly,
"General Le, what can you do to tell me quickly?" Le Jin cupped his hands and said slowly,
"My lord, in order to appease Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, we gave him three cities." When Cao Mengde heard this, his face sank, and he felt a little unhappy.
He already regretted this matter. If he had not offered the three cities, how could Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, be so proud?
Le Jin continued,
"My lord, if you want Lu Bu to be used by me, you must give me enough benefits. For example, we can also give these three cities to Lu Bu as a meeting gift."
"No!" Cao Mengde's expression changed, he slammed the table hard and said through gritted teeth,
"It's absolutely impossible for me to give the city to Lu Bu." Li Dian also said hurriedly,
"Absolutely not. If you give it to Lu Bu, wouldn't it be like raising a tiger and causing trouble? The gain outweighs the loss." Lu Qian also said with a wry smile,
"General Le, is there something wrong with this?"
